It is suitable for the chassis transmission systems of heavy-duty commercial vehicles and off-road vehicles.
[0003] The existing double-drive shaft assembly has a simple structure, requires complicated operation to disassemble the spline shaft, is inconvenient for later maintenance, and the spline shaft is prone to dust accumulation when the sealant of the double-drive shaft assembly is damaged, resulting in poor dust prevention and damage to the spline shaft.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a double-drive shaft assembly to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a double-drive shaft assembly. This assembly features a removable dustproof plate, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the spline shaft. It also seals the sliding area of the spline shaft and spline sleeve, forming a closed mechanism for better dust protection.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A double-drive shaft assembly includes a front drive shaft, one end of which is fixedly connected to a front universal joint, one end of which is fixedly connected to an intermediate shaft, the intermediate shaft having a dustproof structure on its exterior, the end of the intermediate shaft away from the front universal joint being fixedly connected to a rear universal joint, and one end of the rear universal joint being fixedly connected to a rear drive shaft.
[0008] The dustproof structure includes a first dustproof plate located outside the intermediate shaft. Two fixing seats are fixedly connected to both ends of the first dustproof plate. Bolts are threaded inside the fixing seats, and nuts are threaded to one end of the bolts. A second dustproof plate is connected to both ends of the first dustproof plate through the fixing seats, bolts, and nuts.
[0009] The above technical solution sets up a dustproof structure, using bolts and nuts to fix the first and second dustproof plates to the outside of the intermediate shaft. This not only protects the splined shaft from dust but also makes disassembly simple, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the splined shaft in the future.
[0010] Furthermore, the intermediate shaft includes a spline shaft and a spline sleeve, which are engaged and connected. One end of the spline shaft is provided with a groove, and two fixing blocks are engaged and connected inside the groove. One of the fixing blocks is fixedly connected to the first dustproof plate, and the other fixing block is fixedly connected to the second dustproof plate.
[0011] The above technical solution allows the fixing blocks of the first and second dustproof plates to be inserted into the slots of the spline shaft, thereby enhancing the stability between the spline shaft and the dustproof structure.
[0012] Furthermore, a dustproof strip is provided inside the slot, and one side of the dustproof strip is engaged with the fixing block;
[0013] The above technical solution enhances the airtightness between the spline shaft and the dustproof structure by setting a dustproof strip.
[0014] Furthermore, both the first dustproof plate and the second dustproof plate are provided with sliding grooves inside, and sliding blocks slide inside the sliding grooves. One side of the sliding block is fixedly connected to the spline sleeve.
[0015] By using the above technical solution, the sliding block slides in the sliding groove, so that when the spline shaft slides inside the spline sleeve, the dustproof structure can protect the spline shaft and prevent it from being contaminated and damaged.
[0016] Furthermore, two sliding forks are fixedly connected to one end of both the spline shaft and the spline sleeve, wherein two of the sliding forks are fixedly connected to the front universal joint, and the other two sliding forks are fixedly connected to the rear universal joint.
[0017] The above technical solution utilizes a sliding fork and universal joint for fixed connection, simplifying the structure and improving machining efficiency.
[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This utility model proposes a double-linked drive shaft assembly. By setting a dustproof structure and using a detachable dustproof plate, it can be quickly installed and fixed, protecting the spline shaft while facilitating its later disassembly and maintenance. It also seals the sliding area of the spline shaft and spline sleeve, forming a closed mechanism, thereby better preventing dust and preventing damage caused by dust accumulation during the sliding of the spline shaft.

[0029] A double-drive shaft assembly includes a front drive shaft 1, with a front universal joint 3 fixedly connected to one end of the front drive shaft 1, an intermediate shaft 6 fixedly connected to one end of the front universal joint 3, a dustproof structure 5 provided on the outside of the intermediate shaft 6, a rear universal joint 4 fixedly connected to the end of the intermediate shaft 6 away from the front universal joint 3, and a rear drive shaft 2 fixedly connected to one end of the rear universal joint 4. The dustproof structure 5 includes a first dustproof plate 501 located outside the intermediate shaft 6, with two fixed seats 502 fixedly connected to both ends of the first dustproof plate 501. Bolts 505 are threaded into the interior of the fixed seats 502, with one end of the bolts 505 threaded. A nut 506 is connected to the first dustproof plate 501. The two ends of the first dustproof plate 501 are connected to a second dustproof plate 504 via a fixing seat 502, bolts 505, and nuts 506. A dustproof structure 5 is provided. The first dustproof plate 501 and the second dustproof plate 504 are fixed to the outside of the intermediate shaft 6 using bolts 505 and nuts 506. This provides dust protection for the splined shaft 601 while also allowing for easy disassembly and maintenance. The intermediate shaft 6 includes a splined shaft 601 and a splined sleeve 602, which are engaged. One end of the splined shaft 601 has a groove 7, inside which two... There are two fixing blocks 507, one of which is fixedly connected to the first dustproof plate 501 and the other is fixedly connected to the second dustproof plate 504. The fixing blocks 507 of the first and second dustproof plates 501 and 504 are engaged with the slots 7 of the spline shaft 601, strengthening the stability between the spline shaft 601 and the dustproof structure 5. A dustproof strip 8 is provided inside the slot 7, with one side of the dustproof strip 8 engaging with the fixing block 507. The dustproof strip 8 enhances the airtightness between the spline shaft 601 and the dustproof structure 5. Both the first and second dustproof plates 501 and 504 have sliding grooves 50. 3. A sliding block 9 slides inside the sliding groove 503. One side of the sliding block 9 is fixedly connected to the spline sleeve 602. By using the sliding block 9 to slide in the sliding groove 503, the dustproof structure 5 can protect the spline shaft 601 from contamination and damage when it slides inside the spline sleeve 602. Two sliding forks 603 are fixedly connected to one end of both the spline shaft 601 and the spline sleeve 602. Two sliding forks 603 are fixedly connected to the front universal joint 3, and the other two sliding forks 603 are fixedly connected to the rear universal joint 4.

Then, thread the bolt 505 through the fixing seat 502 and connect it with the nut 506 to fix the first dustproof plate 501 and the second dustproof plate 504 for secondary fixation. When the double-shaft drive assembly is running, the sliding block 9 of the splined sleeve 602 slides in the sliding groove 503 of the first dustproof plate 501 and the second dustproof plate 504, thereby sealing the sliding area of the splined shaft 601 and the splined sleeve 602 to form a sealed mechanism, thus better preventing dust. When the splined shaft 601 needs to be disassembled for maintenance, simply reverse the operation, which is simple and convenient.
