As shown in the figure, the universal joint according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a yoke 4, a spider 10, and a rotation cap (not shown) which are respectively located on the drive shaft 2 and the driven shaft 3, 15 but also has a simple but unique waterproof cover 31 for blocking water penetrating into the coupling hole 6 of the yoke 4. [ As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the problems that may occur when moisture penetrates into the coupling hole 6 of the yoke 4.

Hereinafter, the structure of the universal joint according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the waterproof cover 31.

First, the waterproof cover 31 serves to prevent moisture from penetrating into the coupling hole 6 of the yoke 4, as described above. For this, the waterproof cover 31 is formed in a disk shape corresponding to the coupling hole 6 of the yoke 4 as shown in the drawing, and is formed so as to cover the coupling hole 6 And a plurality of through holes 31a are formed in the periphery thereof for the penetration of the bolt 33.

According to this construction, the waterproof cover 31 is fixed to the yoke 4 by the bolts coupled to the bolt holes 4a formed in the yoke 4 and covers the joint holes 6 in the state, The water penetrating into the hole 6 can be blocked. It is preferable that a rubber packing 32 is further provided between the yoke 4 and the waterproof cover 31 in the form of a corresponding disk of the waterproof cover 31. It is preferable that the rubber packing 32 has a sufficiently large area and a semicircular groove 32a formed at its periphery to prevent interference with the bolt 33.

According to the structure in which the waterproof cover 31 and the rubber packing 32 for covering the joint hole 6 of the yoke 4 are provided, water infiltration can be effectively blocked in an environment like a steel mill using a large amount of cooling water . The snap ring 21 located in the coupling hole 6 of the yoke 4 can be prevented from being corroded by water and the spider 10 and the rotary cap 15 Can be removed from the yoke 4, or the spider kit 1 can be prevented from being damaged.

The spider 10 has four springs 10 extending in four directions so as to be inserted into the coupling hole 6 of the yoke 4 located in the drive shaft 2 and the coupling hole 6 of the yoke 4 located in the slave shaft 3, Shafts 11 and has a cross shape as a whole. Each of the shafts 11 provided in the spider 10 is fitted with a rotary cap 15 provided with a bearing 17 (needle bearing) therein. (Although the bearings 17 are illustrated as being installed on the shaft 11 of the spider 10 for the sake of explanation, they are actually installed inside the rotary cap 15)

In addition, a ring-shaped oil chamber 20 is fitted on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft 11 of the spider 10 so as to block the clearance between the lower end of the rotary cap 15 and the gap. Thus, leakage of the oil from the bearing (17) provided in the rotary cap (15) can be blocked.

The yoke 4 provided on the driving shaft 2 and the driven shaft 3 has a coupling hole 6 into which the shaft 11 and the rotary cap 15 of the spider 10 are inserted. A snap ring 7 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the coupling hole 6 and a snap ring 21 is fitted to the snap groove 7 to fix the shaft 11 and the rotary cap 15 of the spider 10. [ To prevent it from being detached. A bolt hole 4a is formed in the yoke 4 in the circumferential direction around the coupling hole 6 so that the bolts 33 for fixing the waterproof cover 31 are coupled.

A universal joint according to a modified embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of a universal joint according to a first modified embodiment of the present invention.

The bolt 33 for fixing the waterproof cover 31 to the yoke 4 is not fastened to the yoke 4 but is fastened to the upper surface of the rotary cap 15, . According to this configuration, the bolt hole 4a to which the bolt 33 is fastened is formed along the upper surface circumference of the rotary cap 15 instead of the yoke 4.

According to the first modified embodiment, there is a difference in that the bolt hole 4a is machined in the rotary cap 15 instead of machining the bolt hole 4a in the yoke 4 as compared with the pre-deformation embodiment. Therefore, it is possible to follow the advantageous structure in terms of price and ease of operation considering the use environment.

Here, except for the structural difference described above, it can be said that it is a comparative example in comparison with the pre-deformation configuration, so that detailed description about the remaining configurations will be omitted.
