SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This type of joint smell
So far, the outer surface of the cage has been
Only a spherical surface for providing a support on the joint member
The inner surface of the cage supports the inner member on one side in the axial direction.
It has been proposed to form an inward spherical surface.
In order to fix the cage in the axial direction, the outer joint is used.
The claw member has separate stop means acting axially on the cage.
Have. In the annular shape, the stopping means is provided with an outer joint.
If they are fixed to the open ends of the hook members, they are joints
Can be limited. Stop means for outer joint member
If it is fixed to the connection end of the outer joint after assembly
Providing a separate joint base that must be connected to the member
There is a need.
An object of the present invention is to provide an outer joint member and an inner joint.
Opposing rail to which the hook member can be attached substantially in the axial direction
Is to provide a road joint.
[0007]
The above object has the following features.
Sign, i.e., inside the outer joint member,
The outer cage is connected to the ball cage during the assembly of the joint.
The axial movement surface that can move in the axial direction with respect to the hand member
Forming; inside the outer joint member the ball
Forming a first stop and guide surface for the outer surface of the cage;
The first stop and the guide surface face each other in the second axial direction.
The retaining element inserted into the outer joint member is
Form a second stop and guide surface for the outer surface of the ball cage
And the second stop and the guide surface are directed in the first axial direction.
The ball cage is inside the ball cage
The spherical outer surface of the one-way coupling member is axially
Forming a guide surface which is movable in the direction;
The retaining element is released from the outer joint member
And toward the connection end of the outer joint member,
When it is moved in two axial directions and the joint is assembled
The holding element in a play-free manner
To secure the cage axially,
Moved in the first axial direction toward the connection end;
The retaining element stops relative to the ball cage and forwards
Having axial support on the outer joint member
Achieved by the first type of fitting.
According to an advantageous embodiment, the outer joint is
The axial movement surface of the hook member is at least the second outer surface
From the first stop and guideway to the deepest area of the track
It is proposed to extend in the axial direction. The axial moving surface
Preferably has no play during the axial movement
Inward to be able to guide the cage in the law
It is cylindrical. For assembly, against outer joint members
The cage, which is coaxially aligned with the
It can be moved axially within a defined area.
[0009] The inner joint member has a ball mounted on a cage.
And inserted into the outer track from inside the cage
Outer joints far enough apart to allow the ball
Introduced into the cage before being pushed towards the connection end of the material
You. Subsequently, the inner joint member is connected to the inner joint member.
It is moved in the opposite direction towards the continuation end. Outer joint member
The axial travel path of the cage inside the
The inner joint member is guided through the ball
The ball into the deepest area of the outer trajectory
Dimensioned so that
In the axial assembly, the inner joint member is assembled
Deep inside the outer joint member for standing
To the connecting end of the inner joint member after the retaining element
This is done by moving the holding element. Outside
The coupling member is deep enough to accommodate the retaining element during assembly.
Can form a closed interior. Cage and inner joint
The hook members are respectively provided integrally with the outer joint member.
Connection end of inner joint member by first stop and guide surface
It is supported toward. The advantage of this embodiment is that
The articulation movement of the hand journal moves outward at the connection end of the inner joint member.
Unless restricted by the retaining element in the coupling member
That is to say.
In a very convenient way, it is described here
The type of fitting is an integrally formed fitting journal
May include an inner joint member having
Thus, the strength of the connection is increased and the number of parts is reduced.
This, in turn, allows the fitting to be mounted substantially axially
And there is no need for the joint to be articulated there. Conclusion
As a result, the perimeter of the cage window also
Control the dimensions required for the articulated angle of operation
Limited.
In a preferred embodiment, the holding element is
Ball cage spherical while positioned between outer orbits
Thick sheet metal to which the individual fingers are attached, cooperating with the outer surface
It is provided in the form of a cover. Due to the integrally formed base
The retaining element is axially adjusted to the base by an axial adjustment screw.
Can be fixed. According to yet another embodiment, the holding
The element, when compressed, is the base of the outer joint member.
Can be pushed into the head opening and radially tensioned
On the outer edge of the outer joint member
A resilient annular collar may be included.
According to yet another embodiment, a holding element
Is a tube that can be axially moved into the base opening of the outer joint member
It is proposed that the base opening include a fixed ring.
And an annular groove for inserting a plug. Still other good
According to a suitable embodiment, the retaining element is an outer joint member
A leaf spring-like central region resiliently supported on the base of the
Can be
For strength, the outer joint member is
At the connecting end, an integrally formed base can be provided.
Wear. As a rule, the retaining element is the connecting end of the inner joint
Only through the opening of the outer joint member from the outer joint member
Can be inserted into Similarly, the cage and the inward
The joint member is connected from the connection end for the inner joint member to the outer joint.
Substantially coaxial with the outer joint member only through the member opening
Can be inserted into
The cage is purely cylindrical for the inner joint member.
Including the guideway or facing the connection end of the inner joint member
On that side, the cage is retracted inward
First, the cage and then the inner joint, depending on whether
For the joint member, or first, for the inner joint member
Must then be mounted with respect to the cage
It is important. The outer surface of the cage is preferably spherical in shape
It is.
According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the bare
A ring means is slid directly on said outer joint member,
The bearing means is connected from the connection end of the inner joint member by two.
Sliding in the form of double row bearings, while said outer
It is axially fixed by a projection on the joint member.
In this way, the coupling and wheel hub are
Is integrated with the ring. Required to connect fixed fittings
The number of parts performed is thus reduced. Through loose fittings
The length of the turning shaft can be increased. Convenient support movement
To achieve, two rows of balls of bearings are preferred
When the joint is aligned, the center of the ball
Are positioned on both sides of a plane extending through.
The outer joint member is pivoted toward its connection end.
Holding element and
Make sure that the inner joint member and cage
Includes a canned interior, and ball mounted
Later, the cage and the retaining element move towards the connection end of the inner joint part
And can be axially fixed.
According to an advantageous embodiment, the first pair of orbits
Are arranged radially opposite the first pair of tracks and the second track
It is suggested that the pairs are arranged radially opposite to the second pair of tracks.
Is proposed. In particular, the first pair of tracks and the second pair of tracks
Is suggested to be arranged to be alternating across
You. Preferably, eight uniformly circumferentially distributed track pairs
Is proposed. Is the specified means zero?
Radially opposing gauges on those balls
Achieve the resulting control force applied by the road pair
I do.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the following drawings.
Will be exemplified.
