The following describes a steering drive shaft 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 to 7, a steering drive shaft 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a sleeve 100, an intermediate sleeve 200, and a spline shaft 300, the sleeve 100 being configured with a sleeve groove 101 extending in an axial direction. The intermediate sleeve 200 is inserted into the sleeve groove 101, one end of the outer circumferential surface of the intermediate sleeve 200 is sleeved with a ball mechanism 210, the ball mechanism 210 comprises a retainer 211 and balls 212, the retainer 211 is sleeved on the intermediate sleeve 200, the retainer 211 is provided with a plurality of ball mounting grooves 213 which are circumferentially spaced along the intermediate sleeve 200 and penetrate through the intermediate sleeve 200 in the radial direction, the balls 212 are accommodated in the ball mounting grooves 213, the balls 212 are matched with the sleeve groove 101 to roll so as to enable the intermediate sleeve 200 to stretch relative to the sleeve 100, and the other end of the intermediate sleeve 200 is provided with spline grooves 201 extending along the axial direction. Spline shaft 300 is inserted into spline groove 201 and slides in engagement with spline groove 201 to extend and retract spline shaft 300 with respect to intermediate sleeve 200.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the end of the spline shaft 300 within the intermediate sleeve 200 is configured with a sealing plug 310, the intermediate sleeve 200 is configured with a receiving cavity 203 communicating with the spline groove 201 and located inside the intermediate sleeve 200, and the sealing plug 310 is partially received in the receiving cavity 203 and stops against the end face of the spline groove 201 facing the receiving cavity 203.
For example, the steering drive shaft 1 is a steering drive shaft 1 for a cargo vehicle, the sleeve 100 of the steering drive shaft 1 is connected to a steering column by a yoke, and the spline shaft 300 is connected to a steering input shaft by a yoke. The sleeve 100, the intermediate sleeve 200 and the spline shaft 300 are circumferentially limited to each other while remaining circumferentially fixed, and rotation of the steering wheel is transmitted through the steering drive shaft 1 to transmit steering to the steering input shaft. The retainer 211 can be made of PP (PA 66) material, is convenient to assemble and light in weight, and utilizes the flexible material of the retainer 221 and the balls 212 to limit, so that micro interference between the balls 212 and the middle sleeve 200 and between the balls 212 and the shaft sleeve 100 in the motion process of the motion steering transmission shaft can be effectively eliminated through micro deformation, abnormal sound is avoided in the motion process, and abrasion between the balls 212 and the middle sleeve 200 and between the balls 212 and the shaft sleeve 100 is reduced.
The cross-sectional area of the receiving cavity 203 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the spline groove 201 and the cross-sectional area of the sealing plug 310 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the spline groove 201 so that the sealing plug 310 remains within the receiving cavity 203. The sealing plug 310 may block an end of the intermediate shaft 230 facing the spline shaft 300, improving sealability between the intermediate sleeve 200 and the spline shaft 300. And the sealing plug 310 is mounted in the accommodation groove 202 to prevent the separation spline shaft 300 from separating from the spline groove 201, and when the spline shaft 300 is shortened to the shortest position after moving into the middle sleeve 200, the sealing plug 310 is padded between the spline shaft 300 and the middle sleeve 200 to prevent abnormal sound generated by collision between the top of the spline shaft 300 and the bottom surface of the cavity accommodation 203 of the middle sleeve 200.
According to the steering transmission shaft 1 of the embodiment of the invention, the steering transmission shaft 1 is constructed into a segmented structure of the shaft sleeve 100, the middle sleeve 200 and the spline shaft 300, the shaft sleeve 100 and the middle sleeve 200 can stretch and retract, and the middle sleeve 200 and the spline shaft 300 can stretch and retract, so that the stretch ratio of the steering transmission shaft 1 is greatly improved, and the shortest length/maximum length of the steering transmission shaft 1 is less than 50%. The intermediate sleeve 200 is provided with a ball mechanism 210, and the balls 212 of the ball mechanism 210 roll against the inner wall of the sleeve groove 101, so that the intermediate sleeve 200 moves axially relative to the sleeve 100. The balls 212 are matched with the shaft sleeve groove 101 to roll, the ball mounting groove 213 plays a role in positioning the balls 212, the balls 212 are always kept in the ball mounting groove 213, and the retainer 211 is kept fixed with the middle sleeve 200, so that friction force between the middle sleeve 200 and the shaft sleeve 100 can be reduced by the balls 212, and reliability of the telescopic process of the steering transmission shaft 1 is improved.
Further, by constructing the spline groove 201 at the other end of the intermediate sleeve 200, the spline shaft 300 is inserted into the spline groove 201 and slides with respect to the spline groove 201, thereby further increasing the expansion range of the expansion-contraction steering transmission shaft 1. Wherein, the ball 212 is in rolling fit with the sleeve groove 101 in point contact, and the spline shaft 300 is in sliding fit with the spline groove 201. The intermediate sleeve 200 has smaller starting force matched with the shaft sleeve 100 through the ball mechanism 210, and the spline shaft 300 has larger starting force matched with the spline groove 201 for sliding.
By utilizing the characteristics that the middle sleeve 200 and the shaft sleeve 100 stretch and the middle sleeve 200 and the spline shaft 300 stretch and the starting force is different, the steering transmission shaft 1 has different stretching effects under different working conditions. When the vehicle normally runs, the cab frequently vibrates up and down in a small range, the floating amount of the cab is small, one end of the steering transmission shaft 1 is connected with a steering column in the cab, the other end of the steering transmission shaft is connected with a steering gear, and the steering transmission shaft 1 needs to stretch and retract adaptively in order to adapt to the floating of the cab. Because the ball mechanism 210 mounted on the middle sleeve 200 has smaller starting force matched with the shaft sleeve 100, the shaft sleeve 100 and the middle sleeve 200 roll along the axial direction relative to the shaft sleeve groove 101 through the balls 212, and the expansion resistance is smaller, thereby achieving the expansion effect of the shaft sleeve 100 and the middle sleeve 200. When the truck is maintained, the cab needs to be tilted, at the moment, the ball mechanism 210 is matched with the shaft sleeve groove 101 to roll, so that the middle sleeve 200 and the shaft sleeve 100 are relatively displaced to the position with the maximum elongation, at the moment, the middle sleeve 200 is continuously matched with the spline shaft 300 to slide through the spline groove 201, so that the middle sleeve 200 and the spline shaft 300 are relatively displaced to the position with the maximum elongation, the steering transmission shaft 1 has a larger expansion ratio, the defect of insufficient elongation of the steering transmission shaft 1 when the cab is tilted is avoided, and the cab is guaranteed to be tilted in place.
Therefore, the steering transmission shaft 1 according to the embodiment of the invention has the advantages of high expansion ratio, cab rollover in place, good durability and the like.
