Many arc ball races that extends vertically or groove 46 undercutting and the internal ball surface 38 by external lug part 32.The radially outermost distance of each ball race, or center line have a circle segments 48, and this section links to each other with basically a straightway 50.Circle segments 48 has a radius, being centered close on the output axis 20 in the left part of a L of this radius.As shown in Figure 5, all ball races 46 are each other along the diametric(al) setting.Every pair of center line along the relative ball race 46 of diametric(al) is positioned at one and also comprises the plane of exporting axis 20.
One internal connection spare 52 is set in the open cavity by external lug part 32.Internal connection spare 52 is provided with to 18 one-tenth symmetric relations of input axis.Internal connection spare 52 has an interior cylindrical hole 54, and this hole is provided with all splines 56 that extends vertically.Internal connection spare 52 has radially basic flat end 58 and 60 that extend, a left side and right side.Radially outermost surface 62 of internal connection spare 52 is spherical, and this spherical ends at the jointing place with planar ends 58 and 60.
The external ball surface 72 of ball isolating frame 70 is done rotation with the internal ball surface 38 of external lug part 32 and is contacted.Similarly, the internal ball of ball isolating frame 70 surface 74 is done to rotate with the external ball surface 62 of internal connection spare 52 and is contacted.
In by the outside of ball isolating frame 70 and internal ball surface 72 and 74 walls that form, be equipped with the many radially hole or the window 84 of extension.The axis in all holes 84 is by the L point on the input shaft 12.The center line of every axis and ball race 46 and 64 matches, and in other words, the axis in each hole 84 is positioned at a plane of center line that comprises every center line of ball race 46 and 64.
One spherical ball 86 is housed in the boundary in each hole 84, the ball energy is moved along the center line of ball race 46 and 64 simultaneously.
Input shaft 12 has the spline 88 of many outside protrusions, and they are meshed with cylindrical hole 54 axially extended many splines 56 along internal connection spare 52.
The cylindrical hole 54 of internal connection spare 52 contains one recessed (reentry) groove 90, in order to hold finger-like lock (fingerlock) clasp 92.A plurality of cantilever type jerk-fingers 94 are bitten one on the flange radially 96 of input shaft 12.Like this, finger-like snap close ring 92 just can prevent that input shaft 12 from moving vertically with respect to internal connection spare 52.
Fig. 2 is the partial, partially-cross-sectioned side-elevation view of whole device 10, has represented to be in the universal joint under the drive state of angle.For discuss convenient for the purpose of, input shaft 14, the hub 16 of connection and portion's adapter piece 32 are in fixed relation to each other motionless and only rotate.As shown in Figure 2, suppose that input shaft 12 is in a position, its input axis 18 with respect to the output axis 20 of output shaft 14 at an angle.When input shaft 12 moves to a new position, angle, because internal connection spare 52 fixes with respect to input shaft 12, so it also moves past identical angle.When input shaft 12 moves a certain angle, all spherical ball 86 just move, the spherical ball 86 that wherein vertically is in highest order moves right to the farthest, and correspondingly along another ball race 46 and 64 is shifted to the left side along the spherical ball 86 that diametric(al) is in lowest order.Remaining spherical ball 86 is also corresponding to be moved along ball race 46 and 64.Certainly, be positioned on the input axis 18, just can not move along ball race 46 and 64 as a spherical ball 86.Above-mentioned discussion hypothesis input shaft and output shaft 12 and 14 are non-rotary.
When input shaft 12 and a certain angle of internal connection spare 52 rotations, the angle of ball isolating frame 70 rotations is smaller, as shown in Figure 2.Importantly: ball isolating frame 70 always rotates, and makes the axis 98 in hole 84 keep such position, even L point position thereon.So, whole device 10 has just reached the constant speed requirement.
The below spherical ball 86 of observing among Fig. 2 can be found out: ball 86 is always shifted to left side up to leveling off to before the arcuate segment 26 of hub 16 at it.In addition, on the left of the lowermost part of ball isolating frame 70 was shifted to before it has occupied top by the cavity that forms by conical section 28 always.Ball isolating frame 70 only with spherical ball 86, the external ball surface 72 of the internal ball of external lug part 32 surface 38 and internal connection spare 32 contacts.
When the inclined surface 100 of the frustum of a cone of input shaft 12 contact external lug parts 32, the angle of input shaft 12 is just moved and is stopped.
Fig. 3 is the whole hub 16 of expression and the side elevation in partial section of output shaft 14.Output shaft 14 can be divided into cylindrical axial direction part 102 and 104, every section spline 106 that contains many vertical alignings along arc shooting.Hub 16 as the extension part of output shaft 14 has one by arcuate segment 26, the internal cavities that truncted cone section 28 and sphere section 30 form.Owing to do not need undercutting during the internal cavities of formation hub 16, it can utilize punching press or contour forging technique to form.
Fig. 4 is the end elevation of the cavity that " 4-4 " line direction is seen from Fig. 3.Its flange 24 represents with plane view, also shows the transversal between all surfaces of the cavity in the above-mentioned hub 16 among the figure.
Fig. 5 is the end elevation of external lug part 32, express on the inner spherical surface 38 that is in external lug part 32, along diametric(al) groove facing each other.As can be seen from the figure, ball race 46 is not a undercutting, and like this, their available punching presses or Forging Technology make.As in making external lug part 32, using sintering process, then needn't be again with metal cutting processing internal ball surface 38.The shape of cross section of ball race 46 is circular, and has the tangentially section of extending in parallel 108 that links with this circle.Although extension 108 is parallel among the figure, if required, they also can be dispersed to input axis 18 slightly.In addition, the arc-shaped cross-section of ball race 46 part can be rendered as non-circular a little, to provide and to contact as line by the spherical ball there.
Fig. 6 is along the sectional view of " 6-6 " hatching line among Fig. 5, shows the curve-like surface of being made up of arc section 48 and straightway 50.Also demonstrate inner spherical surface 38.
Fig. 7 is the end elevation of internal connection spare 52, express a pair of on the outer spherical surface that is positioned at internal connection spare 52, along diametric relative ball race 64.The quantity of ball race 64 equals the quantity of front ball race 46 as shown in Figure 5.Cylindrical hole 54 contains all splines 56 of aiming at input axis 18 vertically.
Fig. 8 is the sectional view along " 8-8 " hatching line among Fig. 7, the curve center line of expression ball race 64 and the outer spherical surface 62 of internal connection spare 52.The technology of the easy processing that the front discussed can be adopted in plane left and right end 58 and 60.
The assembling of whole device 10 of the present invention is foolproof.In addition, the geometrical shape of all assemblies of whole device can allow to use automatic assembling.The limit, left side that makes internal connection spare 52 during assembling earlier is (as shown in Figure 1) up.Then, ball isolating frame 70 is aimed at ground to transferring with one heart and vertically around internal connection spare 52, relative until all holes 84 with the circle segments 66 of ball race 64.Then, all spherical ball 86 are embedded in each hole 84.Along with all spherical ball 86 radially move inwardly, they will touch the circle segments 66 of ball race 64 and keep motionless.Then, external lug part 32 is sleeved on the ball isolating frame 70.Then, make ball isolating frame 70 move to the last position that axially aligns.Like this, all spherical ball 86 is kept not making radially outwards disengaging by all ball races 46.Then, the cylindrical outer surface 22 of hub 16 is moved to cooperate with the inner cylindrical surface 36 of external lug part 32 and in surface 36, maintain static.Technique for fixing can comprise press fit.Welding, or with installing as a kind of snap ring (trip ring) of representing at the 108a place among Fig. 2.This moment or after a while can be inserted into input shaft 12 in the cylindrical hole 54, spline 56 and 58 is slided match.After input shaft 12 inserts fully, the jerk-finger 94 of the clasp 92 that has inserted in advance just and the flange 96 on the input shaft 12 match, make this axle be locked to its final position.
Between whole device 10 on-stream periods, applied a moment on the input shaft 12, the internal connection spare 52 that it is connected with spline rotates.Like this, rely on and the contacting of ball race 64, moment passes on all spherical ball 86 around internal connection spare 52.By ball race 46, all spherical ball 86 pass to external lug part 32 with moment again.Because the external lug part is the flange 24 that is not connected in hub 16 rotatably, so hub 16 is along with its whole output shaft that connects 14 rotation.
When input and output axis 18 and 20 is aligned with each other respectively, between whole device 10 on-stream periods, all spherical ball 86 will remain on a position of ball race 46 and 64.Because all spherical ball are positioned at the center of ball race 46 and 64, stress distributes preferably by external lug part 32 and internal connection spare 52.
When input shaft 12 and input axis 18 thereof with respect to output shaft 14 and 20 one-tenths in axis of output thereof just like 45 ° angle position or when curving 45 °, all spherical ball 86 just no longer slide on around the single figures of importing axis 18 one.During whole device 10 rotations one turn over, spherical ball 86 with traversing on almost seat ring 46 and 64 whole length.Because spherical ball 86 is installed to such an extent that make them can not produce horizontal moving with respect to ball isolating frame 70, so, ball isolating frame 70 is rotation on its outside and inner spherical surface 72 and 74 not only, and, when input axis 18 with respect to an axis of ordering by L when shifting left to the right side, this ball isolating frame also must rotate, and it is punctual to have only when input and output axis 18 and 20 pairs, and the spin axis of ball isolating frame 70 is just perpendicular to input axis 18.The frequency and the size of the variation of the angle that ball isolating frame 70 is represented with label 110 in the size of its axis rotation and frequency are decided by as Fig. 2.When whole device 10 curves when turning round under the situation of angle in maximum, on the internal surface of the circle segments 48 of contiguous external lug part 32 ends 44, produce a maximum load.In Fig. 2, express this maximum load point with " 112 ".Because the thickness maximum at external lug part 32 44 places in the end is so be able to take to put the high load that 112 places cause in maximum load.Also have, the increase of total cross section at external lug part 32 44 places in the end makes end 44 be reduced along the elongation of circumference or circumferential direction.The life-span of whole device is prolonged the circumferential extension that reduces and serviceability improves.
Although but the present invention has made detailed description to each required details of a practical operation structure as far as possible by embodiment, but above specifically described device usefulness for illustrative purposes only, and only otherwise leave other structural type of the spirit and scope of the present invention that limit by appended claims, also reflect many new features of the present invention, this point is understandable.
