DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 9 The existing wheel hub dissipates heat through air flow during driving, but the heat dissipation effect needs to be improved. When driving long distances, it is not convenient to reduce wind resistance, which increases the energy consumption of the car. In order to solve this technical problem, this embodiment discloses the following technical content;

[0038] A wheel hub with a heat dissipation structure comprises a wheel rim 1 and a spoke assembly 2 fixed inside the wheel rim 1, a wheel hub flange 5 fixed in the middle of the spoke assembly 2, and a wheel hub flange 5 fixed in the middle of the wheel rim 1. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the spoke assembly 2 includes an outer hollow box 201, a hollow connector 202 and an inner hollow box 203, the inner end of the outer hollow box 201 is fixed with the hollow connector 202 at an equal angle, the inner end of the hollow connector 202 is connected with the inner hollow box 203, the outer hollow box 201 is connected with the inner hollow box 203 through the hollow connector 202, the outer side surface of the outer hollow box 201 is fixedly connected with the inner side surface of the rim 1, an oil plug 3 is installed at the right end of the outer hollow box 201, the inner wall of the outer hollow box 201 is fixed with the first heat dissipation fin 4 at an equal angle, the inner side surface of the inner hollow box 203 is fixedly connected with the outer side surface of the hub flange 5, before use, remove the oil plug 3, and inject heat dissipation oil into the inner part of the outer hollow box 201, the hollow connector 202 and the inner hollow box 203 by tools, but not full, so that the heat dissipation oil can flow inside the spoke assembly 2;

[0039] The heat dissipation oil is stored in the outer hollow box 201, the hollow connector 202 and the inner hollow box 203. The heat generated by the tire and the rim 1 is transferred to the heat dissipation oil in the outer hollow box 201, the hollow connector 202 and the inner hollow box 203, and then dissipated from the first heat dissipation fin 4. The wind brought by the car when driving helps the wheel hub to dissipate heat, and the air flow and the heat dissipation oil and the first heat dissipation fin 4 dissipate heat, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0040] When the car needs to continue to travel at high speed, in order to reduce wind resistance, the hub cover 8 is installed on the mounting ring 6, the rubber sealing ring integrally connected to the outer end of the hub cover 8 is engaged with the mounting ring 6, and then the baffle 7 is rotated so that the baffle 7 blocks the hub cover 8, and the left side of the second heat dissipation fin 9 is in contact with the spoke assembly 2. The second heat dissipation fin 9 arranged at equal angles is used to improve the heat dissipation effect. After the hub cover 8 is installed, the wind resistance is significantly reduced. A thin strip filter is installed on the hub cover 8 to allow air to circulate;

[0041] When it rains, use the cleaning assembly 10 to clean the hub cover 8. The connecting plate 1001 is placed inside the hub flange 5, and the connecting column 1003 is placed outside the hub cover 8. The connecting plate 1001 and the connecting column 1003 are fixed by screws 1002. The connecting plate 1001 and the connecting column 1003 are rotatably mounted on the hub flange 5. When the tire of the car moves slowly, the wheel roller rotates slowly. Due to the influence of the gravity ball 1005, the centrifugal force is different, so that the brush plate 1004 and the hub cover 8 cannot rotate synchronously, so that most of the mud and water stuck on the hub cover 8 can be cleaned by the brush plate 1004.

[0042] The above completes a series of operations of the wheel hub with heat dissipation structure and the method of use. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field.

[0043] The standard parts used in the present invention can all be purchased from the market, and special-shaped parts can be customized according to the instructions and the drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional means such as mature bolts, rivets, welding, etc. in the prior art. Machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts the conventional connection method in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
