Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of differential housing technology, and in particular to an aluminum alloy noise reduction and vibration damping housing for differentials. Background Technology
[0002] A car differential is a mechanism that enables the left and right (or front and rear) drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. The differential housing acts as a "protective cover" for the differential, enclosing components such as planetary gears and half-shaft gears to prevent dust and moisture from entering. It also stores lubricating oil and assists in heat dissipation, mainly serving to protect and secure the gear set.
[0003] In the existing technology, the differential housing is made of cast iron. Cast iron has high vibration transmission efficiency. When the differential is working, the meshing impact of the planetary gears and half-shaft gears and the vibration generated by the bearing rotation will be directly transmitted to the vehicle body through the housing, causing obvious resonance. Moreover, the meshing noise and vibration noise can easily radiate outward through the housing, affecting the quietness of the vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: 1.
