Detailed Description
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.
It should be noted at the outset that in the description of the present invention, "left" and "right" are used in the orientations indicated in the drawings only for convenience in describing the present invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the system or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In addition, in the description of the present invention, in the radial direction, a position relatively distant from the axis of the casing flange is "outside", and a position relatively close to the axis of the casing flange is "inside".
As shown in fig. 1, the casing flange 10 includes a tray 101 and a tubular body 102, and the tubular body 102 is disposed at the right end of the tray 101 in the drawing. As shown in fig. 2, the disc 101 is coaxial with the tube 102, and the disc 101 has a central hole communicating with the inner hole of the tube 102.
The tray body 101 includes a plurality of boss portions 1011, and the boss portions 1011 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. In the illustrated embodiment, six boss portions 1011 are provided, and in practical implementation, the number of boss portions 1011 can be flexibly adjusted according to practical requirements, but is not limited to six.
A first rib 103 is provided between the right end surface of the boss portion 1011 and the outer peripheral surface of the pipe body 102, and the first rib 103 extends in the circumferential direction. Second ribs 104 are provided between the right end surface of the connecting portion 1012 and the outer peripheral surface of the pipe body 102, and the second ribs 104 also extend in the circumferential direction.
In the applied state of the sleeve flange 10, the first rib 103 and the second rib 104 bear the stress together, so that the sleeve flange has high strength and meets the requirement of light weight design. Moreover, since the first rib 103 and the second rib 104 both extend in the circumferential direction, not in the axial direction, no excessively high protrusion is formed in the axial direction, and thus the forging process is very suitable for forging process, which is easier to ensure the processing quality of the sleeve flange 10 than welding process and casting process. In short, the sleeve flange 10 has high strength, light weight, and easily ensured processing quality.
Specifically, in order to ensure the processing quality of the sleeve flange 10, it is preferable to form the sleeve flange by forging integrally. It should be noted that the sleeve flange 10 may also be formed by welding or casting.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the outer surface of the first rib 103 is an arc surface that is tangent to the right end surface of the boss portion 1011 and the outer peripheral surface of the pipe body 102, and the outer surface of the second rib 104 is an arc surface that is tangent to the right end surface of the connecting portion 1012 and the outer peripheral surface of the pipe body 102. In fig. 3, the right end surface of the boss portion 1011 and the outer peripheral surface of the pipe body 102 are both machined, and both are brought into contact with the outer surface of the first bead portion 103 before being machined. The first rib 103 and the second rib 104 of such a structure have a good stress bearing capacity and are easy to machine and mold.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the first rib 103 extends from one side of the boss portion 1011 to the other side of the boss portion 1011 in the circumferential direction, and the second rib 104 extends from one side of the boss portion 1011 to one side of the adjacent boss portion 1011 in the circumferential direction. Set up like this, can make whole circumference all be covered with by first muscle portion 103 and second muscle portion 104 to can prevent the weak position of atress, make the intensity of sleeve flange 10 further obtain guaranteeing.
Specifically, the tray body 101 is provided with a plurality of through holes 105 through which bolts are inserted, and the through holes 105 are provided in the boss portion 1011 in one-to-one correspondence. The right end surface of the boss portion 1011 is formed as a bolt attachment surface by machining. In use, a bolt is passed through each through hole 105, the head of the bolt abuts against the bolt mounting surface, and the threaded portion of the bolt is screwed to the housing of the reduction gear assembly 30 of the transaxle, as will be understood with reference to fig. 5.
More specifically, the length of the first rib 103 is greater than the length of the second rib 104. Since the through hole 105 is disposed on the boss portion 1011, the first rib 103 plays a main role of bearing stress, so that the length of the first rib 103 is greater than that of the second rib 104, which is more favorable for enhancing the strength of the sleeve flange 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the circumferential length of the inner side of the boss portion 1011 is greater than the circumferential length of the inner side of the connecting portion 1012, so that the length of the first rib 103 is greater than the length of the second rib 104.
More specifically, the axial thickness of the connecting portion 1012 is smaller than the axial thickness of the boss portion 1011. Thus, the strength of the boss portion 1011 can be secured, and the machining surface can be reduced (the right end surface of the connecting portion 1012 does not need to be machined), so that the production efficiency can be improved. The thickness of the boss portion 1011 may be set to the thickness of the tray body prescribed in the standard design manual, and the thickness of the connecting portion 1012 may be smaller than the thickness of the tray body prescribed in the standard design manual.
Specifically, the outer periphery of the pipe body 102 is provided with a welding groove 1021 for welding. The outer circumference of the pipe body 102 is also provided with a step surface 1022 for defining a welding position, the step surface 1022 being located at the right side of the welding groove 1021. During welding, the right end of the pipe body 102 is inserted into the half shaft sleeve 20, the end face of the half shaft sleeve 20 is abutted against the step face 1022, the half shaft sleeve is inserted in place, and then the welding groove 1021 is filled with solder to complete welding, which is understood by referring to fig. 5.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the present invention also provides a drive axle including a reducer assembly 30, the above-described sleeve flange 10, and a half axle sleeve 20. One end of the half shaft sleeve 20 is fixedly connected with the shell of the reducer assembly 30 through the sleeve flange 10 and the bolts.
It should be noted that the drive axle shown in fig. 4 is a coaxial electric drive axle, and in practical implementation, the drive axle may also be a fuel vehicle drive axle or an off-axis electric drive axle, in other words, the sleeve flange 10 may be used for both an electric drive axle and a fuel vehicle drive axle.
The drive axle and its sleeve flange provided by the present invention are described in detail above. The principles and embodiments of the present invention are explained herein using specific examples, which are presented only to assist in understanding the method and its core concepts. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, it is possible to make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principle of the present invention, and those improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
