[0040] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0041] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0042] Example 1, as Figure 1-4 As shown, the locking structure of the thrust rod connection structure on the rear suspension is set on the surface of the two connecting seats 2, and two sets of positioning bolts 2022 are threaded on the surface of the connecting seats 2 for initial fixing of the moving plate 2023; multiple protective covers 203 are set on the surface of the moving plate 2023 and sleeved on the outer surface of the thrust rod pin 1011 to form a closed protective space.

[0043] The protective cover 203 has multiple threaded holes 2031 inside, with locking bolts 2032 connected to its internal threads. One end of the locking bolt 2032 passes through and is embedded in the positioning hole 1012 of the thrust rod, and achieves mechanical positioning with the threaded hole 2031. During operation, the moving plate 2023 is pre-tightened by the positioning bolt 2022, then the protective cover 203 is placed on the outside of the thrust rod pin 1011, and finally the locking bolt 2032 is tightened to make it embed into the positioning hole 1012, completing the double locking. Through the synergistic effect of double positioning and protection, the fixed operation is achieved. It also has dustproof, waterproof and impact-proof functions, solving the problems of easy loosening, easy contamination and poor safety of traditional pin connections.

[0044] In this embodiment, by fitting the limiting boss 204 on the surface of the connecting seat 2 onto the surface of the connecting head 101, rotating the positioning bolt 2022 causes the slider 2021 on the surface to move along the inside of the limiting groove 202, so that the moving plate 2023 is fitted onto the surface of the thrust rod pin 1011, and the auxiliary block 2027 on one side is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting seat 2, further strengthening the support and force-bearing work. At the same time, rotating the locking bolt 2032 inside the protective cover 203 causes one end to pass through the inside of the positioning hole 1012, and the thread is embedded in the inside of the threaded hole 2031 for installation, increasing the stability performance.

[0045] Example 2, as Figure 1-4 As shown, the thrust rod connection structure on the rear suspension includes two connectors 101 at both ends of the thrust rod body 1, with a thrust rod pin 1011 inside and a positioning hole 1012 on the surface of the pin; the mounting structure is set on the outer surface of the thrust rod body 1 and includes two connecting seats 2, which are wrapped around the outer surface of the connectors 101. The connecting seats 2 are provided with mounting holes 201 for connecting to the vehicle frame.

[0046] The connecting seat 2 has a limiting boss 204 on one side, which is fitted onto the surface of the connecting head 101 for radial positioning. A limiting groove 202 is opened on the opposite surface of the connecting seat 2, in which a slider 2021 is slidably embedded. The slider 2021 is connected to the positioning bolt 2022. Multiple movable plates 2023 are arranged on one side of the slider 2021. The inner wall of the movable plates 2023 is provided with an inner metal sleeve 2024. The inner metal sleeve 2024 is provided with a rubber elastic layer 2025. The rubber elastic layer 2025 is provided with an outer metal sleeve 2026. The outer metal sleeve 2026 is fitted onto the surface of the thrust rod pin 1011. During operation, tightening the positioning bolt 2022 pushes the movable plate 2023, so that the composite bushing and the thrust rod pin 1011 form a tight fit. The rubber elastic layer 2025 provides buffering and vibration reduction. When replacement is required, the inner bushing can be replaced by rotating the positioning bolt 2022 in the opposite direction. The operation is convenient.

[0047] In this embodiment, a composite bushing is formed by the inner metal sleeve 2024, the rubber elastic layer 2025, and the outer metal sleeve 2026 in sequence, and is fitted onto the surface of the thrust rod pin 1011 to absorb vibration and impact, and provide radial and axial elastic support. When replacement is required, the positioning bolt 2022 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the sliding slider 2021 automatically slides along the inside of the limiting groove 202, driving the moving plate 2023 to disengage from the thrust rod pin 1011, so that the inner bushing can be replaced. The operation is simple.

[0048] Working principle: During use, the connecting seat 2 is installed on the frame by fitting the parts into the mounting holes 201. The limiting boss 204 on the surface of the connecting seat 2 is fitted onto the surface of the connector 101. Rotating the positioning bolt 2022 causes the slider 2021 on the surface to move along the limiting groove 202, allowing the moving plate 2023 to fit onto the surface of the thrust rod pin 1011. One side of the auxiliary block 2027 on the surface of the connecting seat 2 slides, further strengthening the support. Simultaneously, rotating the locking bolt 2032 inside the protective cover 203 allows one end to pass through... The positioning hole 1012 is installed inside the threaded hole 2031 to increase stability. In addition, a composite bushing is formed by the inner metal sleeve 2024, the rubber elastic layer 2025 and the outer metal sleeve 2026 in sequence, and is sleeved on the surface of the thrust rod pin 1011 to absorb vibration and impact and provide radial and axial elastic support. When replacement is required, the positioning bolt 2022 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the slider 2021 automatically slides along the inside of the limiting groove 202, which drives the moving plate 2023 to disengage from the thrust rod pin 1011 to replace the internal bushing. The operation is simple.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
