Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings and examples.
As shown in fig. 1-14, the rod body 1 of the following embodiment has the same structure, the lightweight integrated aluminum alloy thrust rod with the insert 22 includes the rod body 1 and the ball heads 2 integrally formed at two ends of the rod body 1, each ball head 2 has a mounting hole 21 for mounting the ball hinge assembly 3, an annular insert 22 is embedded in the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 21, the insert 22 is made of a material different from that of the ball head 2, and the clamp spring mounting groove 23 is arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the insert 22. The spherical hinge component 3 comprises a spherical pin 31, spherical hinge rubber 32 sleeved outside the spherical pin 31, and a spherical hinge upper end cover 33 and a spherical hinge lower end cover 34 which are respectively covered at two ends of the spherical hinge rubber 32, and the spherical pin 31, the spherical hinge rubber 32, the spherical hinge upper end cover 33 and the spherical hinge lower end cover 34 are combined into a whole through vulcanization; and the ball hinge component 3 is assembled in the mounting hole 21 in a pre-pressed state by abutting against the ball hinge upper end cover 33 and compressing the ball hinge rubber 32 through the clamp spring 35 clamped in the clamp spring mounting groove 23. Therefore, the ball joint rubber 32 will have a tendency to expand outward so that the ball head 2 receives a corresponding outward elastic force.
The shaft body 1 and the ball head 2 of the following embodiment are made of aluminum alloy, and the insert 22 is made of steel material having higher strength than the aluminum alloy.
The rod body 1 comprises a main connecting plate 11 for connecting the peripheral surfaces of two bulbs 2, the plate surface of the main connecting plate 11 is parallel to the end surface of the bulbs 2, a plurality of reinforcing plates 12 are arranged on the plate surfaces of two sides of the main connecting plate 11, the reinforcing plates 12 are vertically connected with the plate surface of the main connecting plate 11, and two ends of each reinforcing plate 12 are respectively connected with the peripheral surfaces of the corresponding bulbs 2; thereby forming first lightening slots 13 between adjacent reinforcing plates 12; and a second lightening groove 24 is formed in the outer peripheral wall of each ball head 2, and the second lightening groove 24 is positioned on one side far away from the clamp spring mounting groove 23. Three reinforcing plates 12 corresponding to each other are provided on each side plate surface of the main connecting plate 11 of the following embodiments, and the corresponding upper and lower reinforcing plates 12 on both sides are connected to each other, thereby forming both side walls of the rod body 1. The distance between adjacent reinforcing plates 12 is 25-35mm, and the width of the main connecting plate 11 is less than 70mm, so that the range of the distance and the width of the main connecting plate 11 can be selected to reduce weight and improve the rigidity and the strength of the rod body 1, and the distance between the reinforcing plates 12 is controlled within the range to improve the inertia moment of the section of the rod body 1, thereby further improving the rigidity. The spacing between adjacent reinforcing plates 12 of the following embodiment is 28mm and the width of the main connecting plate 11 is 60 mm.
In order to facilitate the drawing of the mold during the casting process, the second weight-reducing grooves 24 extend in the axial direction until the end faces of the corresponding ball heads 2, so as to be stepped, and the extending direction is parallel to the opening direction of the first weight-reducing grooves 13. The second lightening groove 24 is step-shaped, and the extending direction of the second lightening groove 24 is parallel to the opening direction of the first lightening groove 13, so that the drawing directions of the second lightening groove 24 and the first lightening groove 13 are consistent, and casting production is facilitated.
In order to ensure the weight reduction effect and increase the strength and rigidity of the rod body 1, the thickness d of the reinforcing plate 12 is 3-8mm, the height h is 20-30mm, andthe reinforcing plate 12 of the following embodiment has a thickness d of about 5mm and a height h of about 22 mm. Since the strength and the rigidity of the reinforcing plate 12 are poor due to the fact that the thickness of the reinforcing plate 12 is too thin, the weight reduction effect is poor due to the fact that the thickness of the reinforcing plate 12 is too thick, the thickness of the reinforcing plate 12 in the range is appropriate, and the rigidity of the rod body 1 can be improved by increasing the section moment of inertia by increasing the height of the reinforcing plate 12.
The outer edge line a of the surface of the rod body 1 along the axial direction is parallel to the elastic center line of the rod body 1. The extending direction of the elastic center line of the rod body 1 can be regarded as the load loading direction, so that the outer edge line a is parallel to the elastic center line of the rod body 1, the load of the rod body 1 can be parallel to the axial direction as much as possible, and therefore, the tension compression stress is mainly applied, the bending stress is reduced, and the total stress is reduced. In order to prevent the ball head 2 from being damaged, the ball head 2 protrudes outward in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft body 1, so that thickened portions 25 are formed on both sides. Because the stress direction of the thrust rod is mainly axial tension or pressure, stress concentration can occur in the axial vertical direction of the ball head 2 and the rod body 1, and the stress concentration at the position can be relieved by the arrangement of the thickened part 25, so that the ball head 2 is prevented from being damaged.
Example 1: as shown in fig. 5 to 7, and 11 to 12, the insert 22 of the present embodiment is an integral body, and includes an upper limit portion 221, a lower limit portion 222, and a connecting portion 223 connecting the upper limit portion 221 and the lower limit portion 222. The integral insert 22 has high integral structural strength, and is convenient for mold design and insert 22 placement during casting; and the axial strength is better, and the ball head 2 can be prevented from being burst by the axial component force generated by the expansion of the spherical hinge rubber 32 in the ball head 2.

The upper surface of the first upper limiting rib 22a is a circular arc surface, and the lower surface of the first upper limiting rib 22a is a plane; the lower surface of the first lower limiting rib 22b is an arc surface, and the upper surface of the first lower limiting rib 22b is a plane. The arc surfaces on the first upper limiting rib 22a and the first lower limiting rib 22b can reduce stress concentration, and reduce the stress at the contact position of the arc surfaces and the ball head 2; the plane can increase the contact area between the limiting rib and the ball head 2, so that the axial connection strength of the insert 22 and the ball head 2 is enhanced, and the insert 22 is prevented from moving up and down on the ball head 2; and the contact area is increased, the load transmitted to the contact position of the ball head 2 can be reduced, and the stress of the contact position of the plane and the ball head 2 is reduced.
In order to prevent the insert 22 from rotating in the circumferential direction, the outer circumferential surface of the connecting portion 223 has a first rotation-preventing concave surface 22 c. In order to have a better anti-rotation effect, the first anti-rotation planes 22c of the present embodiment are disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting portion 223, and four are uniformly disposed along the circumferential direction. In addition, the first rotation preventing plane 22c may be disposed at any one or more positions of the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 223, between the two first upper limiting ribs 22a, and between the two first lower limiting ribs 22 b.
Example 2: as shown in fig. 8 to 10 and 13 to 14, the insert 22 of the present embodiment is a split type including an annular upper insert 224 and an annular lower insert 225.

The upper surface of the second upper limiting rib is an arc surface, and the lower surface of the second upper limiting rib is a plane; the lower surface of the second lower limiting rib is an arc surface, and the upper surface of the second lower limiting rib is a plane. The arc surfaces on the second upper limiting rib and the second lower limiting rib can reduce stress concentration and reduce the stress of the contact position of the arc surface and the ball head 2; the plane can increase the contact area between the limiting rib and the ball head 2, so that the axial connection strength of the insert 22 and the ball head 2 is enhanced, and the insert 22 is prevented from moving up and down on the ball head 2; and the contact area is increased, the load transmitted to the contact position of the ball head 2 can be reduced, and the stress of the contact position of the plane and the ball head 2 is reduced.
In order to prevent the upper insert and the lower insert from rotating along the circumferential direction, an inward-concave second anti-rotation plane 228 is arranged between the second upper limiting ribs 226 of the upper insert 224, an inward-concave third anti-rotation plane 229 is arranged between the second lower limiting ribs 227 of the lower insert 225, and four anti-rotation planes 228 and 229 are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction at intervals.
