[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides an embodiment of an automobile suspension control arm, comprising a control arm body 1, a connector 3 on one side of the control arm body 1 for connecting with a wheel component, two support arms 15 on the other side of the control arm body 1, a support assembly installed between the two support arms 15 for improving the structural strength of the support arms 15, an oil storage chamber 7 inside the control arm body 1 for storing lubricating oil, an oil delivery channel 9 on one side of the inner wall of the oil storage chamber 7 for supplying lubricating oil, and an oil supply assembly installed inside the oil delivery channel 9 for opening and closing the oil delivery channel 9;
[0032] Reference Figure 3 The lubrication assembly includes a retaining ring 10, a piston 11, an oil outlet 12, and several springs 13. The retaining ring 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the oil supply channel 9. Several springs 13 are fixedly connected to the side of the retaining ring 10 near the oil storage chamber 7. One end of each spring 13 is fixedly connected to the piston 11, which provides support. The piston 11 has an oil outlet 12 inside. When the vehicle is stationary, the outlet of the oil outlet 12 of the piston 11 is blocked by the inner wall of the retaining ring 10. When the vehicle is moving and there are bumps, the vibration will cause the piston 11 in the lubrication assembly to move, thereby exposing the outlet of the oil outlet 12 from inside the retaining ring 10, so that the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 7 can be sent to the connector 3 through the oil supply channel 9.
[0033] Reference Figure 4 The oil outlet 12 is T-shaped, and when the piston 11 moves, the lubricating oil can flow out from the outlets on both sides of the T-shaped oil outlet 12.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The support assembly includes a reinforcing rod 2, a rubber strip 4, and two rubber sleeves 6. The reinforcing rod 2 is fixedly connected between the two support arms 15, which can improve the structural strength of the swing arm. The rubber strip 4 is fixedly embedded in the middle of the reinforcing rod 2, and the two rubber sleeves 6 are respectively fixedly sleeved on both ends of the reinforcing rod 2, which can absorb and disperse impact energy, play a buffering role, and improve the stability of the swing arm structure.
[0035] Reference Figure 4 One side of each of the two rubber sleeves 6 is fixedly connected to one of the two support arms 15, making the connection of the rubber sleeves 6 more secure and stable.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 The top of the oil storage chamber 7 is provided with an oil inlet 8, which is used to replenish lubricating oil into the oil storage chamber 7 of the swing arm.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 The inner wall of the oil filling port 8 is fitted with a sealing plug 14 to seal the oil filling port 8 and prevent the lubricating oil from flowing out.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 One end of the oil supply channel 9 is connected to the interior of the connector 3, and the lubricating oil can flow into the connector 3 along the oil supply channel 9 to lubricate the connector.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 Each of the two support arms 15 has a connector 2 5 at one end for connecting to the car body structure.
[0040] Working principle: An oil reservoir 7 is provided in the swing arm of the car suspension. When the vehicle is bumpy, the vibration caused by the spring 13 will cause the piston 11 in the oil supply assembly to move, thereby exposing the two outlets of the T-shaped oil outlet 12 from the retaining ring 10. This allows the lubricating oil in the oil reservoir 7 to be sent to the connector 3 through the oil supply channel 9, which will automatically lubricate the connection with the wheel components and prevent the service life from being reduced due to increased wear. A support assembly is provided between the two arms 15 of the car suspension swing arm. The reinforcing rod 2 can improve the structural strength of the swing arm. The reinforcing rod 2 is provided with rubber strips 4 and rubber sleeves 6 in the middle and at the end, respectively, which can absorb and disperse the impact energy, play a buffering role, and improve the stability of the swing arm structure.
