DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0016] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a precise control structure for preload force for heavy-duty rim locking, comprising a rim 1, a spoke 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rim 1, a hub 4 fixedly connected to one end of the spoke 2, and a connecting assembly 3 arranged on one side of the rim 1, the connecting assembly 3 comprising a control mechanism 31 arranged on the inner side of the rim 1, a silencer mechanism 32 arranged on the outer side of the rim 1, the control mechanism 31 comprising a bolt 311 threadedly connected to the inside of the hub 4, a breaking key 312 threadedly connected to one end of the bolt 311, a groove 313 arranged on the outer side of the breaking key 312, a washer 314 arranged on the inner wall of the groove 313, and a nut 315 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bolt 311.

[0017] In this embodiment, there are five bolts 311, which are equidistantly distributed in the wheel hub 4. The preload force can be controlled by the cooperation of the bolts 311, the breaking key 312, the groove 313, the washer 314, and the nut 315, thereby avoiding the uncontrollable preload force caused by uncontrollable factors in the process of converting the tightening torque into the preload force.

[0018] When the device is installing and fixing the wheel axle and the rim 1, the nut 315 is rotated to move the nut 315 inward, and then the breaking key 312 arranged on the inner side of the nut 315 is moved inward. When the breaking key 312 moves inward and contacts the wheel hub 4, the nut 315 continues to press the washer 314 inward, so that the washer 314 can press the breaking key 312 inward. When the breaking key 312 reaches the preload force, it will automatically break. The operator receives a sign that the operation is completed and stops the installation operation, thereby avoiding uncontrollable preload force caused by uncontrollable factors in the process of converting the tightening torque into the preload force. Example

[0019] On the basis of Example 1, a preferred embodiment of the heavy rim locking preload precision control structure provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown: the silencer mechanism 32 includes a mounting groove 321 provided on the outer wall of the rim 1, a rubber block 322 is clamped on the inner wall of the mounting groove 321, a positioning groove 324 is provided at the bottom of the rubber block 322, a positioning strip 323 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 321, a reinforcing plate 325 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rim 1, a mounting frame 326 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rim 1, a fixing frame 327 is clamped inside the mounting frame 326, a sound-absorbing cotton 328 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 327, a rectangular column 329 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing frame 327, and the mounting frame 326 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing frame 326.

[0022] Furthermore, one end of the second spring 3217 is fixedly connected to the ejection ring 3216. Through the cooperation of the rectangular groove 3214, the limiting column 3215, the ejection ring 3216, and the second spring 3217, when the rotating rod 3210 is separated from the outer side of the rectangular column 329, the fixed frame 327 can be ejected outward, thereby making it easier to manually remove the fixed frame 327.

[0023] When it is necessary to disassemble the fixed frame 327, first, manually pull the clamping rod 3211 outward to move the clamping rod 3211 outward and separate it from the clamping groove 3213, then manually rotate the rotating rod 3210 to move the rotating rod 3210 away from the outside of the rectangular groove 3214, and then, through the action of the second spring 3217, the ejection ring 3216 can be pressed outward against the rectangular column 329 through the limiting column 3215 under the elastic force, and since the rectangular column 329 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 327, the fixed frame 327 can be popped outward, and then the fixed frame 327 can be manually taken out, so that the sound-absorbing cotton 328 can be manually disassembled, thereby facilitating the manual replacement of the sound-absorbing cotton 328, thereby achieving a better sound absorption effect.
