Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts processing technology, specifically to an improved automotive rear axle half-shaft bearing housing. Background Technology

[0002] The rear axle half-shaft bearing housing is one of the core components of a vehicle's power transmission system. It is mainly used to support the rear axle half-shaft bearing and transmit torque between the wheels and the differential. Through its rigid connection with the half-shaft and axle housing, it can withstand the radial and axial loads generated during vehicle operation, and it also needs to be able to resist impact vibrations under complex road conditions.

[0003] Traditional bearing housings typically employ a multi-bolt fixing structure. During installation, precise alignment of the bearing outer ring with the housing bore is required, and multiple bolts must be tightened in stages to create a uniform preload. This process relies on specialized tools and multiple personnel, is time-consuming, and demands a high level of skill from the operators. Furthermore, traditional designs lack a dynamic locking compensation mechanism, which can lead to bolt preload attenuation due to vibration after prolonged use. This can cause bearing movement or housing displacement, affecting the stability of the transmission system. Additionally, lubrication and maintenance require the removal of end caps or seals, further increasing maintenance complexity and time costs. Utility Model Content

The bearing fixing bracket is used to accommodate and constrain the movement of the bearing outer ring. The connecting plate provides a lateral fixing fulcrum to achieve multi-directional force balance. The screw passes through the connecting part to establish an axial preload transmission path. The nut applies threaded locking force to ensure tight fit of all components. The end cap covers the fastening part to prevent foreign object intrusion and reduce the risk of thread loosening. The anti-slip ring inhibits radial movement of the bearing through a high-friction interface while allowing thermal expansion deformation.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a rear axle housing, the lower end of the base is fixedly provided with the rear axle housing, and the upper end of the rear axle housing is fixedly provided with a connecting rod.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an improved automotive rear axle half-shaft bearing housing, which includes a base 1, a bearing fixing bracket 2 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the base 1, connecting plates 3 fixedly mounted on the left and right ends of the bearing fixing bracket 2, a screw 5 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the base 1, the screw 5 passing through the connecting plates 3 and fixed by a nut 4, an end cap 6 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the nut 4, and an anti-slip ring 7 fixedly mounted inside the bearing fixing bracket 2 and the base 1. The base 1 is connected to the vehicle body through a fixing mechanism. The base 1 serves as an integral support frame and is rigidly connected to the vehicle body, providing a load-bearing foundation. The bearing fixing bracket 2 is used to wrap and fix the outer ring of the bearing to form a constraint space. The connecting plate 3 transmits multi-directional loads through lateral fulcrums to balance the force. The screw 5 passes through the connection part to establish an axial preload transmission path. The nut 4 applies threaded locking force to ensure that all components fit tightly. The end cap 6 covers the nut 4 to prevent the intrusion of external foreign objects and reduce the risk of loosening. The anti-slip ring 7 inhibits the radial movement of the bearing through a high-friction interface while allowing thermal expansion deformation.

[0023] The fixing mechanism includes a rear axle housing 8. The rear axle housing 8 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the base 1. A connecting rod 9 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the rear axle housing 8. A first locking block 10 is movably installed at the upper end of the connecting rod 9. A second locking block 11 is movably installed at the upper end of the connecting rod 9. The rear axle housing 8 serves as a transitional connection carrier between the vehicle body and the base 1 to achieve load transfer. The connecting rod 9 constructs a vertical installation guide channel and supports the locking mechanism. The first locking block 10 and the second locking block 11 achieve rapid locking and locking through bidirectional interlocking action.

[0024] The lower ends of the first locking block 10 and the second locking block 11 are fixedly provided with limiting ends 12. A first spring 13 is fixedly provided between the first locking block 10 and the second locking block 11. A movable groove 14 is fixedly provided inside the base 1. A push plate 15 is movably provided inside the movable groove 14. A second spring 16 is fixedly provided between the push plate 15 and the movable groove 14. An oil injection hole 17 is fixedly provided inside the bearing fixing bracket 2. A sealing plug 18 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the oil injection hole 17. The limiting end 12 restricts the movement stroke of the locking block to avoid overload separation. The first spring 13 provides a reset elastic force for the locking block to maintain the dynamic clamping state. The movable groove 14 reserves deformation space for the retraction of the locking block and the movement of the push plate 15 and guides the movement trajectory. The push plate 15 applies a continuous pressing force downward through planar contact to enhance locking stability. The second spring 16 generates a reverse elastic force to compensate for the gap change caused by vibration. The oil injection hole 17 establishes a lubricating grease injection channel to extend the service life of the bearing. The sealing plug 18 seals the oil injection hole 17 to isolate external contaminants and maintain the cleanliness of the lubrication system.

[0025] Working principle: Quick installation is achieved through the fixing mechanism between the base 1 and the rear axle housing 8. During installation, the hole at the bottom of the base 1 is aligned with the first locking block 10 and the second locking block 11 at the upper end of the connecting rod 9 and pressed down. At this time, the first locking block 10 and the second locking block 11 are squeezed inward and compress the first spring 13. When the limiting end 12 reaches the position of the movable groove 14, the first spring 13 rebounds, causing the first locking block 10 and the second locking block 11 to unfold outward and complete the locking. At the same time, the push plate 15 presses down against the limiting end 12 under the elastic force of the second spring 16 to form a double lock, effectively preventing the connection from loosening. The bearing fixing bracket 2 passes through the connecting plate 3 through the screw 5 and is fastened by the nut 4. The end cover 6 covers the nut 4 to improve protection. The anti-slip ring 7 fits tightly against the outer ring of the bearing to enhance radial fixation. The oil injection hole 17 cooperates with the sealing plug 18 to achieve lubrication and maintenance.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
