[0034] This embodiment provides a drive shaft assembly fixture for assembling the drive shaft 100. For example... Figures 1-4 As shown, the tooling includes a positioning assembly 10 and a sleeve 20. The positioning assembly 10 includes a positioning element 11 and a positioning pin 12. The positioning element 11 is provided with a limiting hole 111 along the axial direction. One end of the drive shaft 100 can be correspondingly engaged and limited in the limiting hole 111. The positioning pin 12 is provided on one side of the positioning element 11 along the thickness direction. The positioning pin 12 can limit the positioning element 11 to a preset position. One end of the sleeve 20 is provided with an opening 21 and an internal receiving cavity 22. The end of the drive shaft 100 away from the positioning element 11 can pass through the opening 21 and enter the receiving cavity 22. The sleeve 20 can cooperate with the nut 110 of the drive shaft 100 so that when the sleeve 20 rotates, the nut 110 can rotate coaxially.
[0035] When it is necessary to assemble the drive shaft 100, the positioning pin 12 can be installed in the preset position. Since the positioning pin 12 has a cylindrical structure, it is very easy to install. Then, the top end of the drive shaft 100 is inserted into the limiting hole 111. At this time, the drive shaft 100 is indirectly fixed through the positioning part 11, thus avoiding the situation of directly clamping the drive shaft 100 in the preset position, initially preventing damage to the drive shaft 100, and enabling quick installation and fixing. In addition, when it is necessary to tighten the nut 110 to the target preload, the sleeve 20 can be rotated directly. The sleeve 20 can drive the nut 110 to rotate coaxially, thus avoiding the situation where the rotational torque is directly applied to the nut 110, further ensuring the service life of the drive shaft 100, and enabling the nut 110 to be rotated to the preset position quickly.
[0036] It should be noted here that, as Figure 4 As shown, the drive shaft 100 includes a drive rod 130, on which multiple bearings 140 are sleeved. The outer circumference of the drive rod 130 is threaded. Finally, by screwing a nut 110 onto the threaded outer circumference, the bearings 140 are positioned. The preload is adjusted by changing the number of rotations of the nut 110. Therefore, considering the need for a stable connection between the sleeve 20 and the nut 110 to allow coaxial rotation of the nut 110 and sleeve 20, the preload of the nut 110 can be quickly adjusted. Therefore, as... Figure 1 As shown, the outer periphery of the nut 110 is provided with multiple grooves 120, and the inner wall of the sleeve 20 is provided with multiple protrusions 23 along the circumferential direction. When the sleeve 20 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the drive shaft 100, the multiple protrusions 23 can be correspondingly engaged with the multiple grooves 120. When the sleeve 20 rotates, the protrusions 23 can drive the nut 110 to rotate coaxially. In this structure, the multiple protrusions 23 can be simultaneously engaged with the multiple grooves 120 to ensure a stable connection. Therefore, when the sleeve 20 rotates, the nut 110 can be driven to rotate through the multiple protrusions 23, thereby enabling the nut 110 to rotate quickly. The rotational torque is directly applied to the sleeve 20, effectively preventing damage or scratches to the outer periphery of the nut 110, thus indirectly improving the service life of the drive shaft 100.
[0037] To further improve the clamping force, in this embodiment, the length of the drive shaft 100 that can enter one end of the limiting hole 111 is less than the axial length of the limiting hole 111. This arrangement increases the width of the drive shaft 100, ensuring a good clamping effect and providing sufficient clamping force; it also increases the force-bearing area of the drive shaft 100, thereby reducing the pressure per unit area on the outer periphery of the drive shaft 100, effectively preventing damage to the drive shaft 100 during clamping. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the clamping force can also be increased by increasing the thickness of the positioning member 11 to ensure the clamping effect.
[0038] In addition, to make it easier to rotate the sleeve 20, such as Figure 3 As shown, the end of the sleeve 20 away from the opening 21 is provided with a disassembly groove 24. A disassembly wrench can be engaged into the disassembly groove 24 to disassemble or install the nut 110 through the sleeve 20. By providing the disassembly groove 24, it is easier to tighten or loosen the nut 110, thereby improving the convenience of assembly and enhancing the user experience.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the positioning member 11 is annular, and a mounting groove 112 is formed radially thereon. The mounting groove 112 extends from at least one side of the annular wall to the limiting hole 111. Along the axial direction of the positioning member 11, the mounting groove 112 is a through groove. In this structure, since the annular positioning member 11 has a mounting groove 112, the diameter of the limiting hole 111 can be enlarged during the process of installing the drive shaft 100 into the limiting hole 111, thereby making the installation more convenient and faster.
[0040] It is worth noting that the diameter of the limiting hole 111 is the same as the diameter of the top end of the transmission rod 130, making it relatively difficult to install it into the limiting hole 111. Therefore, in this embodiment, the mounting groove 112 passes through the limiting hole 111 and extends to the other annular wall, but does not penetrate the other annular wall. This arrangement can increase the deformation of the limiting hole 111 during installation, thereby making the assembly process more convenient and labor-saving. At the same time, since the mounting groove 112 does not divide the positioning member 11 into two parts, the ease of use is further improved, eliminating the need for assembly.
[0041] Because of the installation slot 112, the limiting effect of the positioning component 11 may be reduced, potentially leading to the drive shaft 100 detaching during assembly. This technical problem remains unresolved. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the positioning member 11 is provided with a locking hole 113. The locking hole 113 is located on the annular wall of the positioning member 11 on the side through which the mounting groove 112 passes, and the locking hole 113 also passes through the annular walls on both sides of the mounting groove 112. The locking member 13 can pass through the locking hole 113 to lock the positioning member 11. After the drive shaft 100 is assembled into the limiting hole 111, the locking member 13 can simultaneously lock the annular walls on both sides of the mounting groove 112. This not only ensures the locking effect and effectively prevents the drive shaft 100 from falling out of the limiting hole 111, but also prevents the positioning member 11 from breaking during assembly, ensuring the clamping effect and service life.
[0042] In this embodiment, the locking hole 113 on one side of the mounting groove 112 is a through hole, and the other side is a threaded hole; the locking element 13 is a bolt. The bolt can pass precisely through the through hole and, after passing through the mounting groove 112, can form a threaded engagement with the threaded hole. This not only provides a good locking effect but also makes assembly and disassembly extremely convenient, improving the user experience. In other embodiments, the locking holes 113 on both sides of the mounting groove 112 are threaded holes. This arrangement further improves the bolt's locking effect, ensuring that the drive shaft 100 cannot fall out of the limiting hole 111 during assembly.
[0043] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, multiple locking holes 113 are spaced apart. This arrangement further improves the locking effect and ensures sufficient clamping force. Simultaneously, since the top end of the drive shaft 100 is located within the limiting hole 111, the contact area is large, and the pressure per unit area is small. Therefore, the drive shaft 100 will not be damaged during clamping, thus improving its service life.
[0044] To ensure stability during the assembly process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple positioning pins 12 are provided, and the multiple positioning pins 12 are symmetrically arranged along both sides of the mounting groove 112. The multiple positioning pins 12 can firmly fix the positioning component 11 in the preset position. The symmetrical distribution of the multiple positioning pins 12 along both sides of the mounting groove 112 can ensure that the force on both sides is uniform, thereby avoiding fatigue fracture due to excessive force on one side, and effectively improving the service life of the positioning component 11.
[0045] In summary, the drive shaft assembly fixture in this embodiment can not only quickly install and fix the drive shaft 100 without damaging it, but also will not damage the nut 110 during the adjustment of the preload force, effectively improving the service life of the fixture.
[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
