Segmental elastic wheel

Abstract

The invention relates to a segmental elastic wheel and belongs to wheel structures. An outer ring of the wheel is composed of N segmental elastic steel plates (2) sequentially hinged in a jawing manner; a rim hinge post (6) is disposed at the center of the inside of each segmental elastic steel plate (2); hub for vehicle wheel (9) corresponding to the N rim hinge posts (6); each rim hinge post (6) and one hub hinge post (7) adjacent to the same clockwise form a pair of clockwise hinge posts; a first side connecting chain (4) is hinged between each two paired clockwise hinge posts; also, a second side connecting chain (5) is hinged between each two paired anticlockwise hinge posts. The segmental elastic wheel is simple in structure, low in cost, good in shock absorption effect, and high in reliability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wheel structure, in particular to a segmented elastic wheel. Background technique [0002] At present, most of the existing vehicle wheels are pneumatic rubber wheels, which are greatly affected by the environment, and there are dangerous situations such as tire puncture, air leakage, and tire blowout. The reliability is poor, and even endangers the personal safety of the occupants. In response to this situation, solid tires have appeared on the market. Although the solid tire technology has solved the problems such as tire punctures, it has the problem of poor shock absorption. In addition, some technicians have proposed elastic wheel technology using hydraulic components or springs as elastic spokes, but there are disadvantages such as high cost, complex structure, concentrated force, poor ride comfort, and difficulty in ensuring reliability.

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, most of the existing vehicle wheels are inflatable rubber wheels, which are greatly affected by the environment, and there are dangerous situations such as tire puncture, air leakage, and blowout. The reliability is poor, and even endanger the personal safety of the occupants.

In response to this situation, solid tires have appeared on the market. Although the solid tire technology has solved problems such as tire punctures, it has the problem of poor shock absorption.

In addition, some technicians have proposed elastic wheel technology using hydraulic components or springs as elastic spokes, but there are disadvantages such as high cost, complex structure, concentrated force, poor ride comfort, and difficulty in ensuring reliability.
