[0013] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0014] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment includes a triangular arm body 1, a ball pin assembly 2, and a rubber bushing assembly 3. The components work together to achieve the connection and power transmission of the vehicle's suspension system.
[0015] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the main body 1 of the triangular arm is an integrally formed structure, with an integrally stamped mounting groove 11 at its upper end. The mounting groove 11 is a stepped groove structure, which is used to provide a precise assembly positioning reference for the ball pin assembly component 2. The middle part and the stress concentration area of the main body 1 of the triangular arm are integrally formed with a reinforcing boss 12. The reinforcing boss 12 significantly improves the structural rigidity and deformation resistance of the main body 1 of the triangular arm by increasing the local wall thickness and optimizing the stress transmission path, without significantly increasing the overall weight, and effectively copes with the complex loads during driving.
[0016] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the ball pin assembly 2 is a modular assembly structure, including a ball seat 21, a ball head pin 22, a ball pin bracket 23, a sealing plate 24, and a dust cover 25. One end of the ball pin bracket 23 is a stepped shaft structure, which fits into the mounting groove 11 of the triangular arm body 1 and is fixedly connected by welding or bolt fastening. The connection strength is high and the positioning is accurate. The ball seat 21 is made of wear-resistant polymer material and is tightly embedded in the receiving cavity inside the ball pin bracket 23. The inner wall of the ball seat 21 is an arc-shaped fitting surface, which fits the spherical structure at the end of the ball head pin 22. The end of the ball head pin 22 is a smooth ball shape, which extends into the ball seat 21 and forms a rotational fit, ensuring that the ball head pin 22 can swing flexibly and realize multi-angle power transmission.
[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, the sealing plate 24 is made of metal sheet by stamping and has a special structure with a raised middle and horizontal extensions at both ends. The extensions at both ends are provided with buckles or threaded holes, which are inserted into the mounting holes on the side wall of the ball pin bracket 23 and fixed by fasteners. The raised middle part of the sealing plate 24 is tightly fitted and pressed against one end face of the ball seat 21. On the one hand, it realizes the axial positioning of the ball seat 21 in the ball pin bracket 23 to avoid displacement during use. On the other hand, it seals the assembly gap inside the ball pin bracket 23, forming the first sealing barrier.
[0018] To elaborate further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the ball pin bracket 23 has an annular connecting groove 231. The dust cover 25 is made of elastic rubber material, and its bottom end is fastened to the connecting groove 231 by interference fit or clamp fixation. The dust cover 25 has a bell-shaped structure and covers the outside of the ball pin bracket 23 to achieve full protection of the connection parts of the ball seat 21 and the ball head pin 22. The outer end of the dust cover 25 has a connecting hole 251 that matches the ball head pin 22. The inner peripheral wall of the connecting hole 251 is fixed with a sealing bushing 252 by vulcanization process. The sealing bushing 252 is a flexible and wear-resistant structure. Its inner wall is tightly connected with the outer peripheral part of the ball head pin 22 to form a double sealing structure, which effectively prevents the intrusion of external impurities such as dust, mud, and water vapor, reduces the wear of the ball head pin 22 and the ball seat 21, and extends the service life.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the rubber bushing assembly 3 includes a bushing body 31 and a pressing component 32. The tail end of the triangular arm body 1 is integrally formed with an annular bushing fitting plate 13. The bushing fitting plate 13 has a mounting hole in the center. The bushing body 31 is made of rubber material, and its outer peripheral wall is press-fitted with the mounting hole to achieve a fixed connection. The bushing body 31 has a stepped hole inside. The pressing component 32 is a metal bushing structure, which is press-fitted into the stepped hole of the bushing body 31 through an interference fit. The assembly is firm and not easy to loosen. The rubber bushing body 31 can effectively buffer the vibration during driving and improve the ride smoothness of the whole vehicle.
