AI Technical Summary
Existing telescopic universal joints are not reliable enough in radial transmission and axial extension, and the connection is not convenient enough.
The first and second universal joint forks are connected to the connecting sleeve via a flat key and a keyway to achieve radial transmission. During connection, the flat key and keyway, the connecting shaft and the long slot are used for guidance. A reinforcing platform is set on the outside of the connecting end to enhance the connection strength. During connection, the assembly can be completed simply by aligning the flat key and keyway, inserting it into the connecting sleeve and inserting the connecting shaft.
It improves the reliability and convenience of universal joint connections, ensures the stability and strength of the extension and retraction process, and simplifies the connection process.
