Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transmission equipment technology, specifically relating to a corrosion-resistant inner ball cage. Background Technology

[0002] The inner race is a key component of the constant velocity joint (CV joint), widely used in automotive transmission systems. It is responsible for smoothly transmitting power to the wheels during steering and bouncing. Because the inner race is constantly exposed to complex and harsh working environments (such as mud, salt spray, sand, temperature fluctuations, and corrosive chemical media), its outer surface is highly susceptible to corrosion. This corrosion not only compromises the integrity of the race and reduces its mechanical strength, but also accelerates wear between it and the cage and balls, leading to abnormal transmission noise, increased vibration, and ultimately premature joint failure, severely impacting vehicle safety and reliability.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for corrosion protection of the outer surface of the inner CV cage are as follows: Surface coating treatment: such as electroplating, phosphating, or spraying anti-corrosion coatings. This method can provide some protection initially, but under long-term high-load operation, friction and wear, and harsh environmental corrosion, the coating is prone to peeling or wear, leading to exposure of the base metal and rapid corrosion, making the anti-corrosion effect unsustainable. Optimized sealing structure: Relying on the sealing performance of the CV cage boot to prevent external contaminants and moisture from entering the CV cage. However, the CV cage boot is prone to aging and damage. Once it fails, external corrosive media can enter, and the outer surface of the inner CV cage will be the first to suffer corrosion. Moreover, this method mainly protects the interior and has limited direct protection for the outer wall of the CV cage shell. Using high-performance grease: Filling the CV cage with rust-preventive grease, some of which can seep out to the contact surface through the squeezing action during operation, providing some rust prevention and lubrication. However, in traditional structures, the grease mainly serves the internal rolling contact pairs (balls, raceways), making it difficult to effectively, evenly, and continuously cover the entire outer wall surface of the inner CV cage shell, especially areas far from the internal lubrication points. Meanwhile, as the usage time increases, the performance of the grease decreases (oxidation, contamination, oil separation), and its rust prevention ability also weakens.

[0004] The main problems with existing technologies are: Inadequate protection: the surface coating is easily worn and peeled off. Incomplete protection: it relies on the reliability of external seals and lacks targeted protection for the outer wall of the CV joint shell, making it difficult for grease to effectively wet the entire outer surface. Inefficient resource utilization: the degraded (aged) grease inside the CV joint is usually discarded or needs to be replaced entirely, failing to utilize its potential residual rust-preventing capabilities for protecting the outer wall. Inconvenient maintenance: once corrosion occurs or the rust-preventing medium needs to be replaced, it is often necessary to disassemble the entire universal joint or CV joint sleeve, resulting in high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corrosion-resistant inner ball cage, which aims to solve the problems raised in the background art.

[0006] A corrosion-resistant inner ball cage, comprising,

[0007] Inner spherical cage shell;

[0008] A corrosion-resistant component is located on the outer wall of the inner spherical cage shell. The corrosion-resistant component includes a lower sealing ring, a lower threaded hole, an upper sealing ring, a telescopic sleeve, a storage chamber, wire locks, a conveying bolt, a conveying hole, an injection hole, a sealing hole, and a sewage discharge component. The conveying hole, injection hole, and sealing hole are all located at the bottom edge of the inner wall of the inner spherical cage shell and are interconnected. The lower and upper sealing rings are respectively fitted onto the outer walls of both ends of the inner spherical cage shell. The telescopic sleeve is fitted onto the outer wall of the inner spherical cage shell. The space formed between the telescopic sleeve and the inner spherical cage shell serves as the storage chamber. Two wire locks are respectively fitted onto the recesses at both ends of the telescopic sleeve. The lower threaded hole is located on the inner wall of the lower sealing ring. The conveying bolt is threaded into the inner wall of the lower threaded hole, and one end of the conveying bolt is threaded into the inner wall of the sealing hole. The sewage discharge component is located on the outer wall of the upper sealing ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the sewage discharge assembly includes a sewage discharge hole and a sewage discharge bolt. The sewage discharge hole is located on the outer wall of the upper sealing ring, and the sewage discharge hole is interconnected with the storage chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, the drain bolt is threaded onto the inner wall of the drain hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the lower sealing ring is provided with a lower mounting hole, and the inner wall of the lower mounting hole is threaded with a lower fixing bolt.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the lower fixing bolt is threaded to the opening on the inner wall of the inner ball cage shell.

[0013] Furthermore, a spline shaft is embedded in the bottom opening of the inner wall of the inner ball cage shell.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This anti-corrosion component creates a dynamic protective space surrounding the outer wall of the inner spherical cage shell by setting a closed storage chamber consisting of a lower sealing ring, an upper sealing ring, and a telescopic sleeve on the outer wall of the inner spherical cage shell, and using wire locks for end limiting and sealing. Its core value lies in achieving intelligent recycling and continuous rust prevention of the lubricating oil: after the rust-preventive lubricating oil is injected during final assembly, loosening the conveying bolts opens the conveying hole, injection hole, and sealing hole at the bottom of the inner spherical cage shell, allowing some fresh lubricating oil to be precisely guided into the storage chamber. This lubricating oil then wets the outer wall of the inner spherical cage shell, forming an initial anti-corrosion layer. Tightening the conveying bolts effectively seals the channel, preventing uncontrolled leakage of internal lubricating oil and maintaining the pressure in the storage chamber. As the equipment operates, the performance of the internal lubricating oil gradually decreases... When the lubricating oil is lowered, the conveying bolts can be operated again to controllably transport the waste lubricating oil to the storage chamber for secondary use, continuing to exert its anti-rust effect and significantly improving the utilization rate of lubricating oil. When the lubricating oil in the storage chamber is completely ineffective and needs to be replaced, simply open the drain bolt at the upper sealing ring to quickly discharge the waste oil through the connected drain hole. The operation is extremely simple. The entire design cleverly utilizes the equipment's own lubrication system and achieves closed-loop management of "fresh oil injection protection - waste oil recycling and reuse - convenient waste oil discharge" through simple bolt control. Without the need for an additional oil supply system, it provides efficient, economical, and long-lasting dynamic anti-rust protection for the outer wall of the inner ball cage shell. At the same time, it has a compact structure, reliable sealing, and convenient maintenance. Attached Figure Description
