Detailed Implementation
[0024] This utility model discloses a steering front axle for heavy-duty vehicles. The following description, in conjunction with a preferred embodiment (Embodiment 1), is shown in the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 8 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.
[0025] See attached diagram. Figures 1 to 8 , Figures 1 to 3 The following images show the front steering axle of a heavy vehicle from different perspectives. Figures 4 to 8 The partial structures of the steering front axle of heavy vehicles are shown respectively.
[0026] Example 1.
[0027] Preferably, the heavy-duty vehicle steering front axle includes a first piece 10 and a second piece 20 opposite to the first piece 10, with a gap between the first piece 10 and the second piece 20, wherein:
[0028] A connecting post 31 is provided between the first piece 10 and the second piece 20. The connecting post 31 is located at the center of both the first piece 10 and the second piece 20 and is integrally formed with both the first piece 10 and the second piece 20.
[0029] Four second connecting pieces 33 are provided between the first piece 10 and the second piece 20. The four second connecting pieces 33 are symmetrically distributed at the ends of the steering front axle of heavy vehicles (two second connecting pieces 33 are provided on the left side and two second connecting pieces 33 are provided on the right side). The second connecting pieces 33 are integrally formed with the first piece 10 and the second piece 20.
[0030] The first piece 10 has two waist-shaped holes 1 and two first round holes 2 symmetrically distributed relative to the connecting post 31, and a square hole 3 between the two second connecting pieces 33 located at the same end; so that the waist-shaped holes 1, the first round holes 2 and the square hole 3 together serve as the installation position of the heavy vehicle wheel hub (not shown in the figure), which facilitates the position adjustment of the heavy vehicle wheel hub after installation and improves the load-bearing capacity of the heavy vehicle wheel hub.
[0031] As an explanation, the long axis of the oblong hole 1 provides adjustment space. When installing the bolts, the wheel hub can be axially translated and finely adjusted along the long axis of the oblong hole 1 to compensate for manufacturing tolerances or assembly errors, ensuring precise alignment between the wheel hub and the axle. Furthermore, the first circular hole 2 provides a rotational reference positioning. The two symmetrically distributed first circular holes 2 serve as fixed reference points, and the central rotation axis of the wheel hub is determined through the precise fit between the bolts and the wheel hub, ensuring core positioning accuracy. In addition, the square hole 3 can collaboratively control angle and torsional load. The square hole 3, located between the two second connecting pieces 33 at the end, has a straight-edge structure that engages with the corresponding boss or keyway on the wheel hub, thereby limiting circumferential rotation and preventing deflection due to torque after wheel hub installation.
[0032] The second piece 20 has two inner protrusions 40, which are symmetrically distributed relative to the connecting post 31 and integrally formed with the second piece 20. The second piece 20 also has two outer protrusions 50, which are symmetrically distributed relative to the connecting post 31 and integrally formed with the second piece 20. The inner protrusions 40 and the outer protrusions 50 have second round holes 4. The second round holes 4 of the inner protrusions 40 and the second round holes 4 of the outer protrusions 50 serve together as the mounting positions for the steering link bushing 41 of the steering link (not shown in the figure). When the steering link is worn out and cannot be used, the steering link bushing 41 can be replaced.
[0033] Among them, the two inner protrusions 40 are located on the side of the second piece 20 away from the first piece 10, and the two outer protrusions 50 are located on the side of the second piece 20 away from the first piece 10.
[0034] The first piece 10 has a third circular hole 5, which passes through the connecting post 31, so that the third circular hole 5 serves as the installation position for the engine output torque transmission shaft (the position shown in the drawing).
[0035] The first piece 10 has two fourth circular holes 6, which are symmetrically distributed relative to the connecting post 31. The fourth circular holes 6 serve as the installation position for the protective cover (not shown in the figure), ensuring the cleanliness of the output shaft installation area and preventing the output shaft from falling off.
[0036] The connecting column 31 has an oil nozzle hole 7, which is connected to the third round hole 5, so that lubricating oil can be added periodically through the oil nozzle hole 7.
[0037] Among them, four first connecting pieces 32 are provided between the first piece 10 and the second piece 20. The four first connecting pieces 32 are symmetrically distributed on the side of the front steering axle of heavy vehicles (two first connecting pieces 32 are provided on the front side and two first connecting pieces 32 are provided on the rear side, and the first connecting pieces 32 are integrally formed with the first piece 10 and the second piece 20).
[0038] It is worth mentioning that the specific structure and other technical features of the steering linkage bushing 41 involved in this utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle and possible control method and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be conventionally selected in the field and should not be regarded as the inventive point of this utility model patent. This utility model patent will not elaborate further.
[0039] For those skilled in the art, modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
