Finally, vacuum treatment is performed using a vacuum pump, and the vacuum degree is at least -0.9Mpa, to ensure that the carbon cloth layers are tightly attached, thereby obtaining an uncured hub preform.

[0076] The second structure 2 is laid in the order of layers and the number of layers as follows: [0°, 90°], [±45°], [0°, 90°], [±45°], [0°, 90°], [±45°], [±60°]. The [±60°] is the layer of the carbon fiber sleeve.
