[0026] The connecting plate 1 serves as the core load-bearing component, typically fixed to the vehicle chassis or suspension bracket. The groove 2 reduces weight while maintaining structural rigidity. The positioning sleeve 3 is used for precise docking with the suspension arm, shock absorber, or other moving parts. The ball joint 4 serves as the core of the ball joint, connecting to the steering tie rod or control arm.

This enables the ball shell forging to adapt to the multi-directional swing requirements of the suspension and steering systems.

The connecting component includes a polymer base layer 8, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the ceramic base layer 7. Externally fixedly connected to the polymer base layer 8 is a carbon fiber layer 9, and externally fixedly connected to the carbon fiber layer 9 is a wear-resistant layer 10.
[0028] The metal base layer 6 has good strength and corrosion resistance, the ceramic base layer 7 has high hardness and high temperature resistance, the polymer base layer 8 has low density, good formability and corrosion resistance, the carbon fiber layer 9 has extremely high strength and rigidity and low density, and the wear-resistant layer 10 reduces friction and wear and extends its service life, thus effectively combining the advantages of different materials.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The positioning sleeve 3 and the ball joint 4 are both fixedly connected to the metal base layer 6; the ball joint 4 is located on the left side of the positioning sleeve 3; the wear-resistant layer 10 is made of silicon nitride ceramic particles and polyether ether ketone composite material blended and sintered, and its thickness is 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the thickness of the ceramic base layer 7.

The ball joint 4 is located on the left side of the positioning sleeve 3, which ensures the stability and positioning accuracy during assembly. The wear-resistant layer 10 is made of silicon nitride ceramic particles and polyetheretherketone composite material, and its thickness is 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the thickness of the ceramic base layer 7. This allows for clear understanding of the material composite method and key parameters of the wear-resistant layer 10, thus improving its practicality.
[0031] Working Principle: When using this device, the connecting plate 1 serves as the core load-bearing component, typically fixed to the vehicle chassis or suspension bracket. The groove 2 reduces weight while maintaining structural rigidity. The positioning sleeve 3 precisely mates with the suspension arm, shock absorber, or other moving parts, ensuring stability and positioning accuracy during assembly. The ball joint 4, as the core of the ball joint, connects to the steering tie rod or control arm. The transition groove 5 inserts a pin or bolt, enabling free rotation at multiple angles. This allows the ball shell forging to adapt to the multi-directional swing requirements of the suspension and steering systems, effectively withstanding high-speed rotational loads. The metal... The base layer 6 has good strength and corrosion resistance.
