Description

A lightweight spherical shell forging Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spherical shell forging technology, and in particular to a lightweight spherical shell forging. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the automotive industry, the suspension system plays an increasingly important role in the vehicle chassis, especially in terms of the stability requirements of the suspension geometry parameters during vehicle operation. Traditional suspension components often need to withstand large forces and are easily affected by environmental factors (such as water, salt, sand, etc.), high temperatures, and wear during long-term use, leading to performance degradation or even failure.

[0003] Traditional ball bearing forgings are typically designed with structural strength in mind, neglecting the need for lightweight construction. This results in their relatively heavy weight, which is detrimental to vehicle fuel economy and handling performance. Furthermore, existing ball bearing forgings often fail to consider long-term use in complex environments, leading to assembly errors that affect suspension geometry and result in shorter component lifespans. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a lightweight spherical shell forging, aiming to improve upon existing technologies that typically focus on structural strength while neglecting the need for lightweighting, resulting in heavier weights that are detrimental to vehicle fuel economy and handling performance. Furthermore, existing spherical shell forgings often fail to consider the issue of long-term use in complex environments.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a lightweight spherical shell forging, comprising a ball joint post, a transition groove on the upper side of the ball joint post, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the right side of the ball joint post, a base plate fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting plate, grooves on both sides of the base plate, a connecting groove on the upper side of the base plate, a through groove on the right side of the connecting groove, positioning sleeves fixedly connected to the four upper corners of the base plate, positioning plates fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the positioning sleeves, and the positioning plates fixedly connected to the upper sides of the base plate.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The connecting plate and the base plate are both fixedly connected to a corrosion-resistant layer inside, and a high-temperature resistant layer is fixedly connected to the outside of the corrosion-resistant layer. A reinforcing component is fixedly connected to the outside of the high-temperature resistant layer. The reinforcing component is used to enhance the strength of the spherical shell forging.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The reinforcing component includes a waterproof layer, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the high-temperature resistant layer, and a wear-resistant layer is fixedly connected to the outside of the waterproof layer.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The ball joint, positioning sleeve, and positioning plate are all fixedly connected with a corrosion-resistant layer.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The high-temperature resistant layer, waterproof layer, and wear-resistant layer are all fixedly connected inside the connecting plate and the base plate.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The base plate has symmetrical grooves on both sides machined by CNC milling, with the groove depth being 1 / 3 ± 0.1 mm of the base plate thickness.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, the ball joint and transition groove are used to install other connecting parts, allowing the suspension components to swing within a certain angle. The connecting plate and base plate form a rigid support structure to fix the ball joint and distribute the force. The groove is CNC milled to reduce weight while ensuring strength. The connecting groove and through groove are used to install sensor wiring harnesses or hydraulic lines. The positioning sleeve provides a stable installation reference. The positioning plate restricts lateral displacement, thus ensuring the precise positioning of the ball joint forging on the car chassis and preventing assembly errors from affecting the suspension geometry.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, the corrosion-resistant layer prevents the chassis components from being corroded by rainwater, de-icing agents, etc., the high-temperature resistant layer resists the high-temperature radiation of the braking system or engine compartment, the waterproof layer prevents water vapor penetration that could lead to internal corrosion, and the wear-resistant layer reduces wear caused by sand and gravel impact or metal friction. This enables the spherical shell forging to have a multi-layer composite structure, which can effectively resist corrosion, high temperature and wear, and extend the service life of the components.

[0026] The ball joint 1 and the transition groove 2 are used to install other connecting parts, allowing the suspension components to swing within a certain angle to adapt to vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces. The connecting plate 3 and the base plate 4 form a rigid support structure to fix the ball joint 1 and distribute the force. The groove 5 is CNC milled to reduce weight while ensuring strength. The connecting groove 6 and the through groove 7 are used to install sensor wiring harnesses or hydraulic lines. The positioning sleeve 8 provides a stable installation reference. The positioning plate 9 restricts lateral displacement and ensures that the ball shell forging is accurately positioned on the car chassis.

[0027] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, a corrosion-resistant layer 10 is fixedly connected inside both the connecting plate 3 and the base plate 4. A high-temperature resistant layer 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the corrosion-resistant layer 10. A reinforcing component is fixedly connected to the outside of the high-temperature resistant layer 11. The reinforcing component is used to enhance the service strength of the spherical shell forging. The reinforcing component includes a waterproof layer 12, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the high-temperature resistant layer 11. A wear-resistant layer 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the waterproof layer 12.

[0028] The corrosion-resistant layer 10 prevents chassis components from being corroded by rainwater, de-icing agents, etc., the high-temperature resistant layer 11 resists the high-temperature radiation of the braking system or engine compartment, the waterproof layer 12 prevents water vapor penetration that could lead to internal corrosion, and the wear-resistant layer 13 reduces wear caused by sand and gravel impacts or metal friction, thus giving the spherical shell forging a multi-layered composite structure.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, the ball joint 1, positioning sleeve 8, and positioning plate 9 are all fixedly connected to a corrosion-resistant layer 10; the high-temperature resistant layer 11, waterproof layer 12, and wear-resistant layer 13 are all fixedly connected to the interior of the connecting plate 3 and the base plate 4; the base plate 4 has symmetrical grooves 5 machined on both sides by CNC milling, and the groove depth is 1 / 3 ± 0.1 mm of the thickness of the base plate 4.

[0030] The ball joint 1, positioning sleeve 8, and positioning plate 9 are all fixedly connected to a corrosion-resistant layer 10, which prevents the chassis components from being corroded by rainwater, de-icing agents, etc. The high-temperature resistant layer 11, waterproof layer 12, and wear-resistant layer 13 are all fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting plate 3 and the base plate 4, which effectively resists corrosion, high temperature, and wear. The base plate 4 has symmetrical grooves 5 machined on both sides by CNC milling. The groove depth is 1 / 3 ± 0.1 mm of the thickness of the base plate 4, which reduces weight while ensuring strength, meeting the requirements of automotive lightweighting.

[0031] Working Principle: When using this device, the ball joint 1, typically part of a spherical hinge, connects the control arm, steering tie rod, or stabilizer bar of the vehicle suspension system, enabling multi-degree-of-freedom movement. The transition groove 2 is used to install other connecting parts, transmitting impact forces and steering torques from the wheels. During vehicle operation, the ball joint 1 allows suspension components to swing within a certain angle, adapting to vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces while maintaining stable steering control. The connecting plate 3 and base plate 4 form a rigid support structure, fixing the ball joint 1 and distributing the force. The groove 5 is CNC milled (groove depth is 1 / 3 ± 0.1 mm of the thickness of the base plate 4), reducing weight while ensuring strength, meeting the requirements of automotive lightweighting. The connecting groove 6 and through groove 7 are used to install sensor wiring harnesses or hydraulic... The system features a pressurized piping system, optimized spatial layout, and a positioning sleeve 8 that is bolted to the vehicle body or subframe to provide a stable installation reference. A positioning plate 9 restricts lateral displacement, preventing structural shifts during sharp turns or on bumpy roads, thus improving driving stability. This ensures precise positioning of the ball bearing forging on the vehicle chassis, preventing assembly errors from affecting suspension geometry. A corrosion-resistant layer 10 prevents corrosion of chassis components from rainwater and de-icing agents. A high-temperature resistant layer 11 resists high-temperature radiation from the braking system or engine compartment. A waterproof layer 12 prevents moisture penetration leading to internal corrosion. A wear-resistant layer 13 reduces wear from gravel impacts or metal friction. This multi-layered composite structure effectively resists corrosion, high temperatures, and wear, extending component lifespan.
