Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ball joint installation technology, and in particular relates to a ball joint installation clamp for a balance suspension. Background Technology

[0002] A ball joint, also known as a ball bearing, is a common term. The scientific name is ball bearing. It's essentially a type of joint device: the simplest hinge is a tube fitted onto a shaft, allowing it to swing around that shaft. The structure of a ball joint is quite simple: one end is a steel ball, and the other end is a "ball cup." The "ball cup" perfectly encloses the steel ball, allowing it to rotate freely within it. Ball joints are commonly used in automobiles. Examples include steering linkages and suspension arm joints.

[0003] Chinese patent CN221270438U discloses a ball-end machining fixture, which includes a base, a support, and a clamping assembly. The support is mounted on the base to hold the ball-end part. The clamping assembly includes a clamping seat and multiple chucks. The clamping seat is fixedly mounted on the base, and the multiple chucks are evenly arranged along the circumference of the clamping seat. The bottom of each chuck is hinged to the clamping seat. The base is provided with an adjustment assembly for clamping the ball-end part with the chucks. Using this technical solution, the operator places the ball-end part on the support and then rotates the chucks using the adjustment assembly, turning them closer to the ball-end part, thereby machining the ball-end part. The ball joint is clamped, allowing it to be stably fixed to the support base. During clamping, the worker does not need to manually support the ball joint, reducing the possibility of hand injury. Optionally, a cylindrical support rod is vertically arranged inside the base. A support spring is vertically positioned at the top of the support rod, and the support base is located on top of the support spring. One end of the support spring is connected to the support rod, and the other end is connected to the support base. Using this technical solution, when the ball joint is fixed by the clamp, the support spring is compressed. When the ball joint is finished and leaves the support base, the support spring extends, causing the support base to return to its original position.

[0004] However, existing technology can only clamp the ball joint, but some ball joints are welded with connecting parts for installation. After the ball joint parts are clamped by the clamp, it is difficult to adjust them, and it is inconvenient to adjust the installation position of the ball joint to facilitate the connection and assembly of the ball joint pin. Therefore, it is necessary to design a ball joint installation clamp for a balance suspension. Utility Model Content
