Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of steering ball pin structure, specifically a steering ball pin structure. Background Technology

[0002] The steering ball joint is a key component of a car's steering system, primarily used to connect the steering knuckle to the control arm or steering tie rod, enabling the wheels to steer and move vertically. Its core functions include: allowing the steering tie rod or control arm to be adjusted in multiple directions via its ball joint structure, adapting to changes in wheel steering angle and the elastic deformation of the suspension system; typically composed of a ball joint, ball seat, cover, and sealing cover, fixed using tapered or slotted cylindrical connections; and during steering, the tie rod assemblies on both sides of the steering gear pull the steering knuckles to swing, thereby... This causes the tires to deflect in the front and rear directions to achieve the purpose of vehicle steering. The steering tie rod and steering knuckle are connected by a steering ball pin passing through the through hole of the steering knuckle and being fixed together with fasteners. The end face mating area is sealed with a rubber sleeve. In other words, the traditional steering ball pin and steering knuckle connection structure consists of four parts: tie rod (ball seat), ball pin, sealing sleeve, and steering knuckle. The sealing sleeve needs to tightly seal the steering ball pin between the steering knuckle and the ball seat to prevent impurities such as mud and water from entering the ball seat through the end face of the sealing sleeve and causing abnormal wear of the ball pin. In the prior art, such as application publication number CN119590504A, this invention relates to the field of steering systems, specifically a steering ball pin structure and a steering knuckle assembly having the steering ball pin structure, including a ball pin; the ball pin includes a ball pin body, and the ball pin body is provided with a mounting ring platform; this invention changes the connection method of the traditional sealing sleeve by setting the mounting ring platform, the sealing sleeve directly abuts against the end face of the mounting ring platform of the ball pin, transforming the original fit relationship between the two product parts of the steering ball pin and the steering knuckle in the height direction into the control relationship of the internal dimensions of the same part (machining in the height direction of the ball pin), reducing the accumulation of dimensional tolerances in the height direction, ensuring the consistency of the compression of the sealing sleeve, and thus ensuring the sealing effect of the sleeve; since the end face of the sealing sleeve no longer fits with the end face of the steering knuckle, it also eliminates the occurrence of process problems such as rubber deformation and curling during the vehicle assembly process; In the aforementioned patent, the sealing sleeve is inconvenient to install, it has no positioning mechanism at the bottom, and after installation, when it vibrates and floats, the bottom is prone to leaking gaps, which can easily introduce dust. Its assembly is unstable, and when the ball head main body mechanism flips in the ball socket, it needs to be lubricated, and its lubricating oil is inconvenient to lubricate. Utility Model Content
