Description

A kind of method of attachment that saves fork and axle
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of connection mode that makes the device of vehicle change of direction, promptly a kind of steering controlling device field relates in particular to the method for attachment of joint fork that a kind of auto steerer uses and axle.
Background technology
As everyone knows, one of key parts of automobile-steering column, this steering column device has been related to the behaviour in service of car load, and whether the quality of steering column directly has influence on the automobile single-piece and turns to steadily, even has influence on the safety of vehicle complete vehicle.
And the fork of the joint in steering column device assembly; Be one of core component of motor turning driving system, joint fork assembly is directly to influence normal vehicle operation and whether turn to the key part of safety, so to the design and the manufacturing of this joint fork assembly high requirement is arranged all; As depicted in figs. 1 and 2; Joint under the prior art is pitched assembly at present, and it has generally adopted a kind of connection mode that fork matches with transmission shaft that saves, and wherein the joint fork is for offering the spline joint fork of interior circular hole; Offer corresponding male splines again pitching on the bonded assembly driving end on the transmission shaft with joint; This transmission shaft is inserted the interior circular hole that joint is pitched, and the spline of circular hole closely cooperates in its male splines and the joint fork, drives to save through rotating drive shaft and pitches running; And there are following two problems in this type of design under the prior art through the feedback on long manufacturing the and the statistics of later period maintenance:
1. the design of existing joint fork is as depicted in figs. 1 and 2; Because the endoporus of this joint fork is interior circular hole spline; And should in circular hole spline must with the motion thread perfect fitting of the driving end of transmission shaft, so its manufacture process requirement is higher, cause the also corresponding raising of manufacturing cost and manufacturing time; Make that the cost of this joint fork assembly is high always, be difficult to tackle the market demand of develop rapidly.
2. from the statistics of follow-up maintenance; Automobile steering system is through turn to running for a long time; The screw thread of the driving end of transmission shaft receives load impacting to cause wearing and tearing bigger with the spline place of closely cooperating of the interior circular hole of joint fork, like the maintaining of NO Fixed Time, gently then causes steering power not transmit fully; Heavy then to cause automobile steering system to skid suddenly malfunctioning, have an accident when serious.
A kind of autocar spindle fork vertical type forging technique method of application number 200810246365.7; The spindle fork forms an integral body by the fork ear of symmetry on bar portion, flange, the flange; It is characterized in that particular content is: from spindle fork flange, take into account both sides fork ear and carry out vertical minute mould, the Joint face of a pattern of vertical minute mould is vertical with bar portion; Fork ear home record to the spindle fork carries out feed supplement, forms draft angle; On forging machine, carry out vertical formed by forging then; Said fork ear home record bottom is formed by forging directly.Owing to changed the branch modular form, feed supplement has been carried out at the part processing position, optimized preforming, realize vertical forging; Joint face of a pattern is long-pending to be reduced, and overlap reduces, and improves stock utilization more than 20%, reduces the secondary base link in horizontal the forging, and improves and forges efficient, reduces production costs.Said fork ear home record bottom is formed by forging directly, has eliminated internal arm bottom stock left for machining.
This patent improves from the manufacturing process of joint fork, has improved stock utilization and has reduced productive costs, but still solved the problem that is connected existence between joint fork and the transmission shaft.
Shaft universal-joint under a kind of motor turning of application number 200720192779.7.It comprises castellated shaft; This castellated shaft is with splined tube outward, and this splined tube one termination has joint fork A, and castellated shaft one end connects joint fork B; Between this joint fork B and castellated shaft coupling end, be provided with spacer assembly; The spacer assembly outer end is provided with baffle plate, it is characterized in that described spacer assembly comprises outer wire loop and interior wire loop, is provided with elastic layer between this outer wire loop and the interior wire loop.Through the setting of this elastic layer, when moment of torsion direction of passage dish was passed to universal-joint, smaller when steering torque, baffle plate moved between the joint fork pockets through spacer assembly, at this moment flexible the transmission, and traveling comfort is relatively good, and can play cushioning effect; When steering torque was bigger, when baffle plate moved to joint fork pockets wall, thereby can prevent turn to transition lag behind, can better play turning efficiency through rigid of transmission this moment.
The logical spacer assembly of setting up of this patent improves transmission shaft is connected generation with the joint fork problem, but still changes joint fork overall structure, still is interior circular hole spline connection, exists structural different with the present invention.
A kind of motor turning tween drive spindle of application number 201020210084.9; Said transmission shaft comprises first joint yoke, primary shaft, second joint yoke, second, intermediate jacket and plain bearing; Said first joint yoke is connected with primary shaft through center cross; Second joint yoke is connected with second through center cross, connects through spline between primary shaft and second, and said intermediate jacket passes through plain bearing and is connected with primary shaft.The intermediate jacket of motor turning tween drive spindle of the present invention is connected with primary shaft through plain bearing, thereby reduced the noise that rubs and produced between two parts, and reduced the wearing and tearing of intermediate jacket, improved the NVH performance of automobile greatly.
This patent has been made improvement to transmission shaft, has increased intermediate jacket, but does not still change joint fork overall structure, still is that interior circular hole spline connects, and exists structural different with the present invention.
In sum, need pitch assembly by a kind of later-model joint at present, not only can solve joint fork and transmission shaft manufacturing complicacy under the prior art, the cost problem of higher needs in cost-cutting, also can guarantee safety.
Summary of the invention
In order to address the above problem; The invention provides a kind of method of attachment that saves fork and axle; Its design concept has changed the design of circular hole in the joint fork under the prior art connects, and has guaranteed safety for the joint fork assembly manufacturing cost that solves under the prior art is high; Make it to become a kind of parts of low-cost steering column, concrete structure of the present invention is described below:
