Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rubber bushing technology, and in particular relates to a tightly sealed, easily press-fitted rubber bushing. Background Technology
[0002] Rubber bushings are key components widely used in automobiles, machinery, construction, electronics and other fields. Their main function is to reduce vibration and impact during mechanical movement, and improve the stability and service life of equipment.
[0003] In existing technologies, the mating surfaces of rubber bushings and plastic housings are usually designed as smooth cylindrical shapes. Because the entire outer surface is subjected to an interference fit, the plastic housing is prone to cracking due to uneven stress during press-fitting.
[0004] Meanwhile, the internal bore of the rubber bushing is prone to deformation during the pressing process, and the deformation is irregular. This not only affects the overall performance of the product, but also increases the difficulty of subsequent testing and repair.
[0005] In addition, interference fits require extremely high machining precision. Even slight deviations can lead to fit failure or cracks, resulting in a high defect rate during production and seriously affecting production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tightly sealed and easy-to-press rubber bushing to address the problem that the mating surfaces of rubber bushings and plastic shells are usually designed as smooth cylindrical shapes, and the plastic shell is prone to cracking during press-fitting due to uneven stress caused by the interference fit of the entire outer surface.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tightly sealed, easily press-fit rubber bushing, comprising a rubber bushing body, the outer wall of which is provided with corrugated ribs, the inner wall of which is provided with a matching groove for the matching parts, and the inner wall of the plastic shell and the rubber bushing body being interference-fitted.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The inner top wall of the rubber bushing body is provided with a conical groove.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The bottom inner wall of the rubber bushing body is provided with rounded corners.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The rubber bushing body has an annular receiving groove inside, and a reinforcing plate is provided inside the annular receiving groove. The hardness of the reinforcing plate is greater than that of the rubber bushing body.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The plastic outer shell has several tooth-shaped grooves.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The plastic outer shell is provided with several reinforcing ribs.
[0018] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] In this invention, corrugated ribs are provided on the outer wall of the rubber bushing body. These ribs disperse stress during press-fitting, reducing the risk of cracking of the plastic shell. The contoured groove on the inner wall of the rubber bushing body fits tightly against the fitting, ensuring a gapless seal. The conical groove at the top and the rounded corners at the bottom further optimize the ease of assembly and the durability of the bushing. At the same time, the reinforcing plate in the annular receiving groove enhances the structural strength of the bushing, while the toothed grooves and reinforcing ribs on the plastic shell enhance the overall compressive strength. This structure not only significantly improves the sealing performance but also reduces the difficulty of assembly, extends the service life, and greatly reduces the defect rate in the production process.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tightly sealed, easily press-fit rubber bushing, comprising a rubber bushing body 1, with corrugated ribs 2 on its outer wall, and a conforming groove 3 for a matching part on the inner wall of the rubber bushing body 1. The inner wall of the plastic shell 4 is interference-fitted with the rubber bushing body 1. When the rubber bushing and the plastic shell are interference-fitted, the corrugated ribs can effectively disperse the pressing force, avoid local stress concentration, and thus reduce the risk of cracking of the plastic shell. At the same time, the structure of the corrugated ribs increases the contact area between the bushing and the shell, improving the sealing performance. The conforming groove for the matching part on the inner wall of the rubber bushing body can closely fit the shape of the matching part, ensuring that there is no gap between the rubber bushing and the matching part after assembly, thereby achieving a good sealing effect. In addition, the design of the conforming groove can also compensate for manufacturing errors to a certain extent, improving the flexibility and reliability of assembly.
[0033] The rubber bushing body 1 has a tapered groove 5 on its top inner wall. The tapered groove design makes it easier for the rubber bushing to align with and slide into the workpiece during the pressing process, reducing assembly difficulty.
[0034] The bottom inner wall of the rubber bushing body 1 is provided with a rounded corner 6. This can avoid stress concentration, improve the durability of the bushing, and also help reduce damage to the rubber bushing during assembly.
[0035] The rubber bushing body 1 has an annular receiving groove 7, and a reinforcing plate 8 is provided in the annular receiving groove 7. The hardness of the reinforcing plate 8 is greater than that of the rubber bushing body 1. The presence of the reinforcing plate can significantly improve the structural strength of the rubber bushing, especially when subjected to greater pressure or impact, effectively preventing deformation or damage to the rubber bushing, thereby extending its service life.
[0036] The plastic outer shell 4 is provided with a plurality of toothed grooves 9. The toothed grooves can increase the friction between the plastic outer shell and the rubber bushing, and prevent relative sliding between the two during use.
[0037] The plastic outer shell 4 is provided with several reinforcing ribs 10. This improves the structural strength of the plastic outer shell, enabling it to better withstand pressure during the pressing process and reducing the possibility of cracking.
[0038] Working principle: By setting corrugated ribs on the outer wall of the rubber bushing body, the corrugated ribs disperse stress during press-fitting, reducing the risk of cracking of the plastic shell. The conformal groove on the inner wall of the rubber bushing body fits tightly against the matching parts, ensuring a gapless seal. The conical groove at the top and the rounded corners at the bottom further optimize the convenience of assembly and the durability of the bushing. At the same time, the reinforcing plate in the annular receiving groove enhances the structural strength of the bushing, while the toothed grooves and reinforcing ribs on the plastic shell enhance the overall pressure resistance. This structure not only significantly improves the sealing performance, but also reduces the assembly difficulty, extends the service life, and greatly reduces the defect rate in the production process.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
