[0002] As a core component of the transmission system and chassis, the performance of automotive axle forgings directly affects the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Traditional axle forgings face severe challenges in high-temperature environments such as the engine compartment and braking system. Automotive axle forgings mostly use alloy structural steels such as 42CrMo and 35CrMo, and are formed through hot forging and tempering to meet the requirements of conventional operating conditions.
[0003] Traditional automotive axle forgings require the replacement of the entire forging when a large axle forging is damaged, rather than allowing for partial replacement. This significantly increases maintenance costs. When automotive axle forgings operate in a high-temperature environment for extended periods, localized forgings are prone to progressive deformation and accelerated surface oxidation, leading to bearing damage. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a high-temperature resistant automotive axle forging, which aims to improve the problems of high maintenance costs caused by the need to replace the entire large axle forging when it is damaged, and bearing damage caused by localized gradual deformation and surface oxidation under high temperature environment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure cap. The connecting plate has a fixing hole at its top and multiple evenly distributed connecting holes at its top. A fixing rod is slidably connected to the inner side of the pressure cap, and an adjustment groove is formed on the top of the fixing rod.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] An expansion sleeve is fitted on the outer side of the main shaft. Multiple evenly distributed limiting grooves are opened at the bottom of the outer side of the expansion sleeve. Multiple evenly distributed expansion grooves are opened on the outer side of the expansion sleeve. A spring abuts against the top of the inner side of the main shaft.

[0022] 1. In this utility model, a modular and detachable structural design is achieved through the main shaft, connecting plate, fixing rod, and pressure cap.

[0031] 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.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a high-temperature resistant automotive axle forging, including a connecting shaft 1, which is the basic connecting unit of the axle and is used to achieve axial connection with external components. A threaded hole 2 is provided at the bottom of the connecting shaft 1, which is mainly used to improve the connection strength between the connecting shaft and the external components. A main shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shaft 1. The bottom outer side of the main shaft 3 is conical, and the main shaft 3 mainly ensures the overall strength of the axle and also serves as a connection and fixation. The conical shape can better disperse local stress during high-temperature expansion. A positioning groove 4 is provided at the top of the main shaft 3. The positioning groove 4 mainly... The pressure cap 8 is used to determine its axial position and also provides installation space for the spring 19. Multiple evenly distributed limiting blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the main shaft 3. These limiting blocks 5 restrict the circumferential rotation of the pressure cap 8, ensuring the stability of the entire shaft. Multiple evenly distributed limiting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the main shaft 3. These limiting blocks 6 are slidably connected within limiting grooves 17. A threaded hole 7 is provided at the bottom of the main shaft 3. This threaded hole 7 is mainly used to connect the fixing rod 14, thereby ensuring the stable connection of the entire modular device. The pressure cap 8 abuts against the top of the main shaft 3. The outer top of the pressure cap 8 is shaped like a conical bevel. The edge and the conical inclined edge of the bottom outer side of the main shaft 3 form a double conical surface, which can better disperse local stress. The pressure cover 8 is slidably connected in the positioning groove 4 and abuts against the top of the spring 19. The top of the pressure cover 8 has a fixing hole 9. Multiple evenly distributed limiting grooves 10 are opened on the outer side of the pressure cover 8. The limiting block 5 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 10. The fixing rod 14 penetrates the fixing hole 9 to connect the modular training device. The top of the pressure cover 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 11. The connecting plate 11 is the interface for connecting the shaft to the external parts. The top of the connecting plate 11 has a fixing hole 12. The radius of the fixing hole 12 is larger than that of the fixing hole. The connecting plate 11 has a radius of 9. Multiple evenly distributed connecting holes 13 are opened on the top of the connecting plate 11. A fixing rod 14 is slidably connected to the inner side of the pressure cover 8. The bottom of the fixing rod 14 is threaded. The fixing rod 14 is slidably connected in the fixing hole 9 and the fixing hole 12. The fixing rod 14 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole 7. An adjustment groove 15 is opened on the top of the fixing rod 14. The fixing rod 14 has a stepped shaft structure. The top adjustment groove 15 can be used to rotate the fixing rod 14 by inserting a hexagonal wrench. The axial pressure is transmitted to the pressure cover 8 by the cooperation of the bottom threaded mechanism and the threaded hole 7, so as to realize the disassembly and assembly of the entire shaft.
[0033] Reference Figures 2-4In one embodiment of this utility model: an expansion sleeve 16 is fitted on the outer side of the main shaft 3. The expansion sleeve 16 is made of high-temperature resistant alloy. When the shaft temperature rises, the expansion sleeve 16 will expand radially along the conical surface, thereby achieving a stress dispersion function. The expansion sleeve 16 abuts against the top of the outer side of the pressure cover 8. Multiple evenly distributed limiting grooves 17 are opened at the bottom of the outer side of the expansion sleeve 16. The circumferential rotation of the expansion sleeve 16 can be restricted by the limiting grooves 17. Multiple evenly distributed expansion grooves 18 are opened on the outer side of the expansion sleeve 16. The expansion sleeve 16 has elastic deformation capability when expanding radially, avoiding stress concentration caused by rigid expansion, thereby damaging the shaft. A spring 19 abuts against the top of the inner side of the main shaft 3. Through the elasticity of the spring 19, it can ensure that the expansion sleeve 16 maintains a stable tension force at both normal and high temperatures. The spring 19 is slidably connected in the positioning groove 4.
[0034] Working principle: When some vulnerable parts wear or deform due to high temperature, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire shaft. Simply use a tool to loosen the fixing rod 14 through the adjusting groove 15 to separate the fixing rod 14 from the main shaft 3. At this time, the pressure cap 8, having lost its axial constraint, can slide upward along the positioning groove 4 to detach from the main shaft 3. Simultaneously, the expansion sleeve 16 is pulled out from the outside of the main shaft 3 through the sliding engagement of the second limiting block 6 and the second limiting groove 17. When disassembly is complete, the replacement expansion sleeve 16 is fitted into the main shaft 3, aligning the second limiting groove 17 with the second limiting block 6. The pressure cap 8 slides down along the positioning groove 4 to abut the spring 19, and then the threaded connection of the fixing rod 14 to the threaded hole 7 is tightened. The entire process only requires the replacement of local parts, avoiding transmission. The replacement of the entire shaft due to the failure of a single component in the system structure not only reduces replacement time but also saves replacement costs. When the shaft is running in a high-temperature environment, the main shaft 3 and the expansion sleeve 16 expand radially due to thermal expansion. The conical inclined edge at the bottom of the outer side of the main shaft 3 and the conical inclined edge at the top of the outer side of the pressure cover 8 form a guide surface, pushing the expansion sleeve 16 to expand radially and evenly. At the same time, the spring 19 ensures that the contact pressure between the expansion sleeve 16 and the inner ring of the bearing or the inner hole of the hub is stable, avoiding bearing overload caused by clearance changes. The expansion groove 18 of the expansion sleeve 16 increases the heat dissipation surface area, and together with the high-temperature resistant alloy material, the surface oxidation rate is reduced, avoiding damage to the forging body caused by oxidation of the shaft surface.
