To unite each figure that describes among Fig. 7 below.To provide identical label with detail section identical among Fig. 1, for this reason will be with reference to description to Fig. 1.
In Fig. 7 a, perpendicular to the x axis of section B-B and two the component PCRx and the PCRy that are parallel on the y axis of section B-B Pitch radius PCR is being decomposed according to Pitch radius PCR.
Fig. 7 b shows the motion when inner junction part 13 ball 142 during with respect to the partly hinged rotational angle β of socket left, is benchmark with center M, and ball partly has been offset angle beta/2 with respect to socket.Also show Pitch radius PCRy (0) in the joint of aiming at and the radius PCRy (β/2) behind the hinged rotation angle β of joint.Because the mode that raceway extends, PCRy (β/2) is greater than PCRy (0).
Like this, for the joint that does not have hinged rotation, can obtain following equation:
PCR 0 = ( PCRx 0 2 + PCRy 0 2 )
For pitch circle angle φ 0, available following equation calculates pitch circle angle φ:
tanφ 0=PCRx 0/PCRy 0
And for the joint of hinged rotation, then:
PCR = ( PCRx 2 + PCRy 2 )
For pitch circle angle φ, available following equation calculates pitch circle angle φ:
tanφ=PCRx/PCRy
When PCR and φ when ball road only changes slightly, even be constant angle φ with respect to longitudinal plane by radius R1 kRaceway also can like that advantageously power be introduced in the ball road as envisaged by the present invention.
The rotational position of joint changes along with the variation of splice angle, and ball is located in different positions along ball road.Be arranged in parallel to each other and be parallel under the situation on the plane that longitudinal axis L 12, L13 extend in ball road, PCRx remains unchanged, and PCRy can change.Its result passes the median plane of longitudinal axis L 12, L13 and y axle and the angle φ that passes from joint center M between the radius RS of ball center K has slight variation.
In order to keep ball road symmetry of the present invention exactly, need center of curve M1i and M1a and M2i and M2a to lay respectively in the plane that forms by radius RS1, RS2 and longitudinal axis L 12, L13.
Therefore, according to the embodiment shown in here, center M1i and M1a are arranged in a plane that is parallel to those planes that comprise the raceway center line separately.This is illustrated in any position active line (effectiveline) (axis of symmetry of groove-section) can not pass joint center M exactly, but passes center M '.Bias a between two planes is less relatively, available with the calculating of getting off:
a=(PCRy(β)-PCRy(0))×sinφ 0
And the symmetry plane in ball road cross section to the bias of ray radially is:
Δ δ ≈ a/PCR[radian]
In Fig. 8, to any with shown in Figure 4 be that identical details provides identical label, ball 14 during such rotation of joint shown in Fig. 7 a 1The effect of ball motion be saved.Though the center line of ball road extends in plane E1, E2 usually, but the symmetry plane of those groove-section can be shifted, and those cross sections are no longer formed by the second radius RS1, the RS2 that intersect at M place, joint center, and the axis of symmetry ES1, the ES2 that are located to intersect by the some M ' in the R1 of radial plane form.Raceway center M1 0In the E1 of plane, be displaced to raceway center M1.Come from joint center M, and the radius Off-Radial ray RS1 angle delta δ that comes from the longitudinal axis that passes the raceway center respectively.Center M, M ' and M1 0And the distance between the M1 provides with Δ PCRy.
Fig. 9 has provided the enlarged view of the angle case of Fig. 8.
