[0019] See also Figure 1 - Figure 3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a long-life wheel hub bearing unit with an external dust cover, comprising a flange 1, a steering knuckle 2 and a drive shaft 5. The flange 1 is made of metal material and plays a role of connection and fixing. The steering knuckle 2 is connected to one side of the flange 1, and the wheel hub unit can be rotated through the steering knuckle 2. Wheel bolts 3 are arranged at both ends of the flange 1. The wheel bolts 3 are made of cemented carbide and play a role in stabilizing the connection between the wheel hub unit and other components. A locking nut 4 is arranged at the center of the flange 1, and a drive shaft 5 is arranged on one side of the locking nut 4. A wheel hub bearing 6 is arranged on one side of the drive shaft 5. These parts provide power to the wheel hub unit through linkage. The outer surface of the wheel hub bearing 6 is provided with a metal foil 17, and the metal foil 17 is a nickel-cobalt eutectic alloy. It can effectively absorb and reflect the magnetic field, thereby reducing the interference of the static magnetic ring 10 on the electronic components, so that the electronic components are not affected in the magnetic field. The metal foil 17 is annular, and the metal foil 17 is arranged around the contact surface between the fixed bracket 16 and the wheel hub bearing 6. Raceways 7 are arranged on both sides of the steering knuckle 2. The raceways 7 are made of stainless steel. The raceways 7, as the part in contact with the rollers 8, must have extremely high hardness and wear resistance to withstand the high stress and friction when the vehicle is running. Rollers 8 are arranged inside the raceways 7. The rollers 8 are made of bearing steel, have fatigue resistance and high hardness. There are two groups of rollers 8, and the two groups of rollers 8 are evenly arranged along the horizontal direction of the raceways 7. A retaining spring 9 is connected to one side of the raceway 7. The retaining spring 9 stabilizes the structure and provides shock absorption.

[0020] A static magnetic ring 10 is arranged on one side of the steering knuckle 2. The static magnetic ring 10 is made of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) permanent magnetic material. This material has a high magnetic energy product and can still maintain good magnetic properties in a high temperature environment. At the same time, its price is relatively reasonable, which makes it have significant advantages in cost-effectiveness. A fixed bracket 16 is connected to one side of the static magnetic ring 10. The fixed bracket 16 is a cylindrical structure made of antimagnetic material, which can ensure the stability of the entire system during operation and reduce the magnetic influence on the electronic components of the hub unit. The fixed bracket 16 is The opening direction corresponds to the dust cover 12. The dust cover 12 is connected to one side of the static magnetic ring 10. The dust cover 11 is a disc-shaped structure made of metal material. Its surface is a serrated surface formed by a plurality of groups of 30-60 degree edges and corners evenly arranged along the outer surface of the dust cover 12. The serrated surface structure makes it difficult for the sediment to find a flat surface to stay stably, thereby reducing the contact area between the sediment and the dust cover. At the same time, it can effectively divide the airflow, reduce air resistance, and optimize the separation point of the airflow on the surface of the dust cover 11, reducing the generation of eddy currents.

[0021] A moving magnetic ring 15 is provided at the bottom of the dust cover 11. The moving magnetic ring 15 is connected to the dust cover 11 and fixed on the wheel hub unit by magnetic force to prevent dust from entering the inside of the wheel hub unit from the surface to damage the electronic components. A sealing ring 12 is provided at the connection between the dust cover 11 and the static magnetic ring 10. The sealing ring 12 is a 3.0 mm thick annular gasket made of rubber material, which seals the connection gap while fixing the magnetic connection, thereby strengthening the sealing of the dust cover 11 and the wheel hub unit. A vent 13 is provided on the outer surface of the dust cover 11. A filter screen 14 is connected to the inside of the dust cover 12. The vent 13 is provided on the outer surface of the dust cover 11. A filter screen 14 is connected to the inside of the dust cover 12. There are several groups of vents 13, and all of them are located at the bottom of the corners of the outer surface of the dust cover 12, and are evenly arranged along the outer surface of the dust cover 12. The filter 14 is a mesh structure made of metal material. This design can not only maintain the internal air pressure balance through the synergistic effect of the filter 14 and the vents 13, but also effectively block the invasion of dust and pollutants. The filter 14 can effectively block most of the dust and impurities and prevent them from entering the hub unit through the vents 13. The vents 13 help to adjust the internal and external air pressure, avoid deformation or damage of the dust cover caused by the air pressure difference, and effectively extend the service life of the device.

[0022] Working principle: When using a long-life wheel hub bearing unit with an external dust cover, the static magnetic ring 10 placed in the fixed bracket 16 is connected to the wheel hub unit, and a layer of metal foil 17 is added at the connection. The fixed bracket 16 and the metal foil 17 work together to prevent the static magnetic ring 10 from generating magnetic influence on the electronic components of the wheel hub unit during operation, thereby affecting the use. Then the dust cover 11 is taken out, and the dynamic magnetic ring 15 at the bottom is connected to the static magnetic ring 10 accordingly. A sealing ring 12 is provided between the dynamic magnetic ring 15 and the static magnetic ring 10. The filling of the sealing ring 12 can make the connection surface between the dust cover 11 and the wheel hub unit completely sealed, preventing dust from entering and affecting the service life of the wheel hub.

[0023] The surface of the dust cover 11 is serrated, and there are several groups of evenly arranged vents 13. A filter screen 14 is provided at the bottom of the vent 13. The serrated surface structure makes it difficult for the mud and sand to find a flat surface to stay stably, thereby reducing the contact area between the mud and sand and the dust cover 11. The setting of the vent 13 can effectively divide the airflow, reduce air resistance, optimize the separation point of the airflow on the surface of the dust cover 11, and reduce the generation of vortices. At the same time, the vent 13 can maintain the balance of air pressure inside and outside the cover to prevent structural deformation due to excessively high or low internal pressure. Or damaged, the vent 13 also helps to regulate the temperature and reduce condensation, ensuring a good working environment for the internal components. The filter 14 can effectively block most of the dust and impurities and prevent them from entering the hub unit through the vent 13. The combination of the filter 14 and the vent 13 provides double protection, which can not only prevent dust from entering, but also maintain the stability of air pressure and temperature, and at the same time optimize the heat dissipation performance of the hub unit. Through the effective cooperation of the vent 13 and the filter 14, the internal heat can be discharged in time, effectively extending the service life of the device.
