Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heavy-duty truck steering technology, specifically a heavy-duty truck steering system with anti-jamming function. Background Technology

[0002] As a core control component in the driving system of heavy-duty trucks, the steering gear's operational stability directly affects vehicle driving safety and handling precision. Heavy-duty trucks typically operate in complex and harsh conditions such as mines, construction sites, and long-distance freight transport, requiring frequent steering operations and enduring significant loads over extended periods. This places extremely high demands on the steering gear's structural strength, lubrication performance, and anti-interference capabilities.

[0003] Most existing heavy-duty truck steering systems employ traditional mechanical transmission structures, primarily composed of core components such as the steering gear housing, drive shaft, and transmission gear set. In practical use, these steering systems generally face two major problems: First, the risk of jamming due to an imperfect lubrication system design. Traditional steering systems typically rely on periodic manual lubrication, which can easily lead to blind spots, especially at the rotating connection between the drive shaft and the housing. These areas are often subjected to semi-dry friction or insufficient lubrication, causing increased wear and tear over time, resulting in steering jamming and, in severe cases, steering failure and potential accidents. Secondly, traditional lubrication structures have poor sealing performance, leading to lubricant leakage. This not only reduces lubrication effectiveness but also contaminates surrounding components, increasing maintenance costs.

[0004] Secondly, the lack of impurity cleaning capabilities leads to performance degradation. When heavy-duty trucks operate under harsh conditions, dust, sand, metal wear debris, and other impurities easily enter the steering gear housing. These impurities adhere to the surfaces of transmission components as the drive shaft rotates, accelerating abrasive wear and reducing the steering gear's lifespan. Furthermore, impurities tend to accumulate in the rotational clearances, increasing steering resistance and further exacerbating steering jamming. Currently, most steering gears lack dedicated impurity cleaning mechanisms, relying solely on the natural seal of the housing to block impurities. Cleaning requires disassembling the steering gear, which is cumbersome and disrupts normal vehicle operation.

[0005] Furthermore, while some existing steering systems are equipped with simple lubrication devices, they lack precise lubrication control and long-term sealing structures, resulting in low lubricant utilization. Simultaneously, the handling of impurities often relies on fixed filtration methods, which are prone to filter clogging and cannot achieve continuous and efficient impurity removal. Based on these shortcomings of existing technologies, developing an anti-jamming heavy-duty truck steering system with efficient lubrication, reliable sealing, and continuous impurity removal capabilities has become a key requirement for improving the driving safety of heavy-duty trucks and extending the service life of steering systems.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a heavy truck steering gear with anti-jamming function, including a steering gear housing 1 and a drive shaft 2. The drive shaft 2 passes through the steering gear housing 1 and is disposed inside the steering gear housing 1. A lubrication component and an impurity cleaning component are disposed inside the steering gear housing 1. The lubrication component is disposed above the steering gear housing 1, and the impurity cleaning component is installed below the steering gear housing 1.

[0024] A retaining ring 3 is provided inside the steering gear housing 1 and on the outer surface of the drive shaft 2. The lubrication assembly includes a lubricating oil leak-proof sealing plug 4, which is located inside the steering gear housing 1. An annular limiting block 5 is provided inside the steering gear housing 1. A sliding auxiliary ring 6 is provided on the outer surface of the drive shaft 2 and inside the steering gear housing 1. An outer annular nest 8 is provided inside the steering gear housing 1 and on the outer surface of the sliding auxiliary ring 6. An outer annular nest limiting block 7 is provided inside the steering gear housing 1 and on the outer surface of the outer annular nest 8. The device is equipped with a lubricating oil leak-proof sealing plug 9. A lubricating oil storage tank 11 is installed on the top of the steering gear housing 1. Both ends of the lubricating oil storage tank 11 are connected to lubricating oil spray pipes 12. By installing a lubrication unit, when the drive shaft 2 rotates, the lubricating oil inside the lubricating oil storage tank 11 is continuously sprayed onto the key rotating parts inside the drive shaft 2 through the lubricating oil spray pipes 12 for lubrication. Furthermore, the friction between the drive shaft 2 and the steering gear housing 1 is reduced by the auxiliary sliding ring 6 and the outer nested ring 8, thereby providing overall lubrication of the device and preventing jamming.

[0025] The impurity cleaning component includes a motor 13, which is mounted at the bottom of the steering gear housing 1. The output shaft of the motor 13 is connected to a transmission belt assembly 14, and the other end of the transmission belt assembly 14 is connected to a threaded rod 17. A waste storage box 15 is provided at the bottom of the steering gear housing 1, and a permeable membrane 16 is provided at the connection between the waste storage box 15 and the steering gear housing 1. A scraper 18 is provided on the outer surface of the threaded rod 17, and a slide bar 19 is provided inside the waste storage box 15. By setting up the impurity cleaning component, impurities inside the steering gear housing 1 can permeate into the waste storage box 15 through the permeable membrane 16. Then, the motor 13 is started, and the transmission belt assembly 14 drives the threaded rod 17 to rotate, so that the scraper 18 continuously assists in scraping the permeable membrane 16, preventing impurities from clogging the permeable membrane 16 and preventing impurities from permeating. At the same time, with the help of the slide bar 19, the scraper 18 can be kept horizontal, which facilitates the auxiliary scraping of the permeable membrane 16.

[0026] The top of the lubricating oil storage tank 11 is provided with an oil filling port, and the internal thread of the oil filling port is connected to a sealing cap. The inner top of the sealing cap is provided with a sealing gasket, which is made of nitrile rubber. The oil filling port 20 facilitates the replenishment of lubricating oil into the lubricating oil storage tank 11. The sealing cap and the sealing gasket 22 cooperate to achieve a double seal, preventing lubricating oil leakage and the entry of external impurities.

[0027] The end of the lubricating oil spray pipe 12 is equipped with an atomizing nozzle, which faces the rotating connection part of the drive shaft 2. A filter screen is installed at the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle. A flow control valve is installed on the lubricating oil spray pipe 12. The atomizing nozzle can atomize the lubricating oil and spray it evenly on the key parts to improve the lubrication coverage and effect. The filter screen can filter impurities in the lubricating oil to prevent clogging of the nozzle. The flow control valve can adjust the spray flow according to the working load of the drive shaft 2 to achieve precise lubrication.

[0028] The inner surface of the sliding ring 6 is provided with a graphite lubricating layer, which is in close contact with the outer surface of the drive shaft 2. The outer surface of the sliding ring 6 is provided with several annular grooves, and the inner surface of the outer ring 8 is provided with annular protrusions that match the annular grooves. The graphite lubricating layer can further reduce the friction between the sliding ring 6 and the drive shaft 2. The annular grooves and annular protrusions can restrict the axial displacement of the sliding ring 6, ensuring its stable operation, and at the same time forming a lubricating oil storage cavity to improve lubrication durability.

[0029] The top of the scraper 18 is provided with an elastic scraper blade, which is in close contact with the lower surface of the permeation membrane 16. The scraper 18 is provided with a weight reduction chamber. The elastic scraper blade has a certain elasticity, which can remove impurities while avoiding damage to the permeation membrane 16 and extending its service life. The weight reduction chamber can reduce the weight of the scraper 18 and reduce the load on the motor 13.

[0030] The inner wall of the steering gear housing 1 is provided with a sound insulation and noise reduction layer, which is made of glass wool. The outer surface of the steering gear housing 1 is provided with an anti-corrosion coating 38, which is an epoxy resin coating. The sound insulation and noise reduction layer can absorb the noise generated when the drive shaft 2 rotates and the components work, thereby reducing the working noise of the steering gear. The anti-corrosion coating can improve the corrosion resistance of the steering gear housing 1, adapt to the complex working environment of heavy trucks, and extend the overall service life of the device.

[0031] Working principle: The drive shaft 2 passes through the steering gear housing 1 and is positioned by the fixing ring 3. In the lubrication assembly above the steering gear housing 1, the lubricating oil storage tank 11 sprays the lubricating oil atomized and precisely onto the key rotating parts of the drive shaft 2 through the lubricating oil spray pipe 12 (with atomizing nozzle, filter and flow control valve at the end) connected at both ends. At the same time, the sliding ring 6 on the outer surface of the drive shaft 2 (with a graphite lubrication layer on the inner surface that fits the drive shaft 2, and an annular groove on the outer surface that cooperates with the annular protrusion on the inner surface of the outer ring 8 to form a lubricating oil storage cavity and restrict axial displacement) cooperates with the outer ring 8 and the outer ring limiting block 7. Combined with the lubricating oil anti-leakage sealing plug 1 4, the lubricating oil anti-leakage sealing plug 2 9 and the annular limiting block 5, leakage prevention and limiting are achieved, which together reduce the friction between the drive shaft 2 and the steering gear housing 1. The friction between the housing 1 and the steering gear housing improves the lubrication effect and prevents jamming. In the impurity cleaning component below the steering gear housing 1, internal impurities permeate through the permeation membrane 16 to the waste storage box 15. After the motor 13 is started, the threaded rod 17 is rotated through the transmission belt assembly 14, so that the scraper 18 (with an elastic scraper on the top and a weight reduction cavity inside) moves horizontally along the slide rod 19 to scrape off the impurities on the lower surface of the permeation membrane 16 to prevent blockage. The oil filling port 20 of the lubricating oil storage tank 11 is double-sealed to prevent leakage and impurities through the sealing cap 21 and the sealing gasket 22 made of nitrile rubber. The sound insulation and noise reduction layer of glass wool on the inner wall of the steering gear housing 1 absorbs working noise, and the anti-corrosion coating 38 of epoxy resin on the outer surface improves corrosion resistance, ensuring that the device can adapt to the working environment of heavy trucks and extend its service life.
