A tire blown when a vehicle is driving at high speed can easily cause the vehicle to lose balance and instantly lose control, causing serious traffic accidents.

Method used

Design a kind of safety wheel structure. By dividing the tire into twelve sections, the fan shape of each section becomes an independent body, and it is connected to a whole with the central wheel hub to form a complete safety wheel hub. This device is made of high -strength aluminum alloy, which has the advantages of lightweight, high strength, easy forming, low cost, etc., and reserved a centimeter gap and rubber cushion inside the tire to buffer and increase friction.

Benefits of technology

When the vehicle bursts, the safety wheels can maintain the stable state of the vehicle, reduce tires to slip, avoid the vehicle out of control, and effectively reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention is a wheel hub structure, which refers to a wheel hub that can always maintain a nearly low tire pressure state when a vehicle has a tire burst, will not cause the vehicle to lose balance or lose control instantly, and can effectively ensure the safety of life and property of drivers and passengers. Background Art

[0002] In modern society, vehicles have become the main means of transportation. Vehicle travel has the advantages of being convenient, fast, and not limited to time and place, but it also brings many traffic accidents. Every year, the casualties and vehicle damage caused by traffic accidents cause huge economic losses and negative impacts to society. For this reason, humans have been studying various factors that affect vehicle safety, including all measures such as the hardware configuration of the vehicle itself and the intelligent control of software. However, there is no very effective method so far. The number of traffic accidents in China and even the world remains high every year. While enjoying the services of vehicle technology, it also brings a lot of disasters and pain to humans.

[0003] Among the traffic accidents every year, those caused by tire blowouts account for a large proportion. Tire blowouts, especially those occurring at high speeds, often cause a series of traffic incidents. Such traffic accidents are generally not minor accidents, and often result in the destruction of vehicles and the death of people, which is very shocking and brings irreparable pain and loss to humans. Because such incidents cannot be predicted in advance, they are often accidental or caused by uncertain factors.

[0004] Therefore, through years of observation and research on vehicles, we have been trying to find a device that can keep the vehicle stable when a tire blows out, so that the vehicle will not lose control and cause a traffic accident. After many discussions and studies, we found that we can improve and add protective measures on the wheel hub of the vehicle, which can greatly reduce or eliminate traffic casualties caused by accidental tire blowouts. Summary of the invention

[0005] This safety wheel hub is light and strong, will not affect the appearance and performance of the vehicle, and can meet the dynamic balance requirements of the tire. Taking the center of the wheel as the center of the circle, the tire part is divided into twelve equal sections, and each two sections are fan-shaped as an independent body for production and installation, and then connected to the central wheel hub as a whole to form a complete safety wheel hub. The weight of each wheel independent device is controlled within 8kg, that is, the total weight of the four wheel devices can be controlled at about 30kg. It will not have a big impact on the total mass of the vehicle. This device is only a little more time-consuming than ordinary tire installation when the vehicle is first installed or the tire needs to be replaced. After all, tire replacement generally takes about three to five years for 60,000 kilometers, so in terms of life safety and the fear of tire blowouts, a little troublesome installation should not be a problem.

[0006] The safety hub frame is supported by high-strength U-shaped aluminum alloy, with a cross-sectional size of 30×5mm and a height of 5–10cm depending on the tire height. The upper part of the bracket is a 3mm thick high-strength aluminum alloy panel, and the top layer is a 5mm thick rubber contact buffer layer. The frame and the panel are riveted or integrally formed, and the panel and the rubber layer are bonded. The safety hub base is fixed on the center hub and can be integrally formed or welded with the center hub. The device and the base are fixed with bolts.

[0007] When the tire is without any pressure and when fully loaded (including the total weight of the vehicle itself and the weight of people or objects), the height deformation of the tire is generally about one centimeter, so a one-centimeter gap is reserved inside the tire, and a five-millimeter rubber cushion is used at the top of the device. First, it can cushion the comfort of the vehicle when passing through some bumpy roads. Second, it can increase the friction with the outer tire when the vehicle has a flat tire, try to keep the vehicle in its original state and reduce tire slippage.

[0008] The device is made of high-strength aluminum alloy with the same material as the center wheel hub. It has the advantages of light material, high strength, easy molding, low cost, etc. It can be integrally molded to improve strength, reduce drilling and assembly, and only bolts are connected to the original wheel hub at the bottom of the device. The tire is the only place where the vehicle contacts the ground and is also the weakest part of the vehicle. However, as long as there is no blowout or foreign body puncture, the tire will generally be replaced after a few years. Therefore, installing a blowout safety device can provide safety protection for a long time, mainly for prevention. With this device, people will not feel anxious or afraid, and can drive with peace of mind. With the increasing development of science and technology, vehicle driving safety is the top priority of people's daily travel, and life safety is the top priority of mankind. Nowadays, when people optimize the design of vehicles, they often only pursue high-tech intelligent driving and work hard on the vehicle's electronic control software. Computer programs can only be used for human-assisted driving. What really plays a big role is human control and the hardware facilities of the vehicle itself. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle during driving, we have to start with the most basic components of the vehicle. This device can ensure that the vehicle will not lose balance in the event of a sudden tire blowout, thereby preventing the vehicle from losing control and causing serious traffic accidents.

[0009] The device is installed inside the tire and does not affect the vehicle's appearance, performance and comfort. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
