Finite Element Analysis And Calculate Of Ball-Cage Type Universal Joint By Steerable Drive Axle

Ball-Cage Type Universal joint is one of the key components of wheeled vehicles, and it is directly related to the steering wheel of the vehicle driving performance. As a front-wheel drive steering axle important automobile transmission parts, performance improvement and life extension joints to improve and enhance the overall vehicle handling, power plays an important role, but also affect the layout of the vehicle body structure. Life and performance gimbal mainly by contact stress distribution and size of the impact of the internal structure of the parts of the transmission process suffered, the commonly used test method is difficult to measure the value of the contact stress is relatively complex structure, and now our country in terms of car manufacturing and independent design gimbal is still relatively backward, design time is very long, very high production money spent, the key technology gimbal still mainly dependent on technology to other countries. Therefore, the design of low-cost, high-quality, long-life universal joint has very great significance.For the research object, the Jetta sedan for the study, from kinematics, dynamics proceed to the basic theory of Ball-Cage Type Universal joint to do a more detailed theoretical studies and theoretical research based on constant velocity universal Cage the internal structure of the main parameters of the section for a more detailed study and design. Ball-Cage Type Universal joint finite element analysis, geometry of parts or structures by UG, by ANSYS finite element software to complete mesh. Finite element software for human-computer interaction calculations. Although this process can be seen as a "black box", but for many problems, especially nonlinear problems, or to understand and intervene in the calculation process. Then, the maximum force point for analysis, optimization, designed this Rzeppa Ball-Cage Type Universal joint.
