Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a balancing weight, belonging to the field of automobile equipment. Background Art

[0002] The description in this section merely provides background information related to the disclosure of the present application and does not constitute prior art.

[0003] When the wheel rotates at high speed, due to uneven tires, uneven steel rims, unbalanced air pressure, etc., irregular centrifugal force will be generated, resulting in wheel imbalance. In order to solve this problem, balance weights are usually installed on car tires.

[0004] The function of the balance weight is to balance the imbalance of the wheel, reduce the shaking and vibration of the wheel when it rotates at high speed, and improve the stability and ride comfort of the vehicle. The balance weight is installed on the inside or outside of the wheel, usually fixed to the steel rim of the tire by a clamp or adhesive. When the vehicle is driving, the balance weight will rotate with the tire and adjust its position to achieve the effect of balancing the wheel.

[0005] Balance weights are usually made of metal materials, such as steel, aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, etc., with a certain quality and strength to ensure the balancing effect. Installing balance weights is a simple and effective way to ensure wheel balance, which can improve the vehicle's driving stability and driving comfort, while extending the service life of tires and wheels.

[0006] However, the indicating characters or numbers on the balancing weight in the prior art lack assistance for installation. In addition, the balancing weight in the prior art may also cause troubles in installation. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of this application is to provide a balancing weight, which is used to solve at least one of the above problems.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present application discloses a balancing weight, which comprises:

[0009] a body having a wide side and a long side;

[0010] A first indicating portion, wherein the first indicating portion comprises two first indicating units, and the two first indicating units are symmetrical relative to the long midline; each of the first indicating units comprises at least one first indicating area, and any one of the first indicating areas is symmetrical relative to the wide midline;

[0011] wherein the long midline passes through the midpoint of the long side of the main body and is perpendicular to the long side of the main body;

[0012] The broadside centerline passes through the midpoint of the broadside of the main body and is perpendicular to the broadside of the main body.

[0013] Preferably, the first indicating unit is a groove sunken inwardly from the main body.

[0014] Preferably, each of the first indicating units comprises a plurality of first indicating areas, and the plurality of first indicating areas are arranged at intervals along a wide center line of the main body.

[0015] Preferably, the first indication area is linear, triangular, circular, rhombus, rectangular or square.

[0016] Preferably, the balancing weight further comprises a second indicating portion, wherein the second indicating portion is located between two of the first indicating units along a width midline of the main body.

[0017] Preferably, the second indicating portion is point-symmetrical with respect to the center point of the main body; wherein the center point of the main body is the intersection of the wide center line and the long center line.

[0018] Preferably, the second indicator is in the shape of "5", "S" or "X".

[0019] Preferably, the second indicating portion is a groove that is recessed inward from the main body.

[0020] Preferably, the main body is linearly symmetrical along the width center line and the length center line.

[0021] Preferably, the first indicating unit extends along the long side direction.

[0022] By means of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0023] 1. By setting the first indicator part, on the one hand, the two first indicator units in the first indicator part extend along the long side direction, which can not only facilitate the operator to align the wide side during the installation process. On the other hand, the two first indicator units in the first indicator part are line-symmetrical, and the first indicator unit itself is line-symmetrical, so that the mass center line of the balance block can be marked, which is convenient for the operator to find the mass center line and paste it accurately when doing dynamic balancing. When taking an even number of balance blocks, it may also be possible to use the balance block interval as the standard. However, when taking an odd number of balance blocks, there is no mass center line to refer to if no mark is made on the block.

[0024] 2. By setting the second indicator, on the one hand, it is possible to provide instructions to the operator, for example, the weight or model of the balancing block. On the other hand, the second indicator of the balancing block is point-symmetrically arranged. In the automated production process, in order to achieve efficient production, the machine does not distinguish between the left and right sides of the product, that is, when the latter balancing block rotates 180° relative to the previous balancing block, the machine does not recognize it and screen it out. If the design on the balancing block adopts a non-centrally symmetrical pattern, the pattern will flip during the production process, but the symmetrical design in this application can avoid this inconsistency.

The following describes an implementation method of the present application based on the overall structure.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one aspect of an embodiment of the present application discloses a balancing weight, the balancing weight comprising a main body 1, wherein the main body 1 has a wide side 11 and a long side 12;

[0039] A first indicating portion 2, wherein the first indicating portion 2 comprises two first indicating units 21, and the two first indicating units 21 are symmetrical relative to the long midline 14; each of the first indicating units 21 comprises at least one first indicating area 211, and any of the first indicating areas 211 is symmetrical relative to the wide midline 13;

[0040] The long center line 14 passes through the midpoint of the long side 12 of the main body 1 and is perpendicular to the long side 12 of the main body 1;

[0041] The width center line 13 passes through the midpoint of the width side 11 of the main body 1 and is perpendicular to the width side 11 of the main body 1 .

[0042] With the above structure, on the one hand, the two first indicating units 21 in the first indicating part 2 extend along the direction of the long side 12, which can not only facilitate the operator to center the wide side 11 during the installation process. On the other hand, the two first indicating units 21 in the first indicating part 2 are linearly symmetrical, and the first indicating unit 21 itself is linearly symmetrical, so that the mass center line of the balancing block can be marked, which is convenient for the operator to find the mass center line and paste it accurately when doing dynamic balancing. When using an even number of balancing blocks, it may also be possible to use the balancing block interval as the standard. However, when using an odd number of balancing blocks, there will be no mass center line to refer to if no mark is made on the block. Specifically, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the main body 1 may include a mass portion 101 and a mounting portion 102 disposed on the mass portion 101. Generally, the mass portion 101 and the mounting portion 102 are integrally constructed. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the mass portion 101 and the mounting portion 102 are fixedly installed by other mounting structures.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the mounting portion 102 has a relative lower side and upper side. Before use, the lower side of the mounting portion 102 can be adhered to the release paper. When in use, the release paper can be torn off and then the balance weight can be attached to the tire. The lower side of the mass portion 101 is in contact with the mounting portion 102, and the upper side of the mass portion 101 is provided with a first indicator portion 2. Of course, in another optional embodiment, in order to facilitate automated production, the upper and lower sides of the mass portion 101 can be provided with a first indicator portion 2 and / or a second indicator portion 3 (described in detail below).

[0044] In general, combined Figure 2 As shown, the main body 1 extends in the length direction and the width direction respectively, so as to have a wide side 11 and a long side 12. In addition, the main body 1 (including the mounting portion 102 and the mass portion 101) is symmetrical relative to the wide center line 13 and the long center line 14. The long center line 14 passes through the midpoint of the long side 12 of the main body 1 and is perpendicular to the long side 12 of the main body 1. The wide center line 13 passes through the midpoint of the wide side 11 of the main body 1 and is perpendicular to the wide side 11 of the main body 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 102 may be a rectangular parallelepiped. The mass portion 101 includes a first mass unit 1011 in a rectangular parallelepiped shape and two second mass units 1012 protruding from the mounting portion 102 from the front and rear sides of the mounting portion 102. The two second mass units 1012 are arched. Moreover, the two second mass units 1012 are symmetrical relative to the long midline 14.

[0046] Generally, the first indicator unit 21 is a groove formed by being recessed inward from the main body 1. Of course, in another optional embodiment, the first indicator unit 21 can also be protruded from the upper side of the main body 1 to the main body 1. Of course, in another optional embodiment, the first indicator unit 21 can also be formed by laser or inkjet printing.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first indicating portion 2 includes two first indicating units 21, and the two first indicating units 21 are symmetrical relative to the long center line 14; each first indicating unit 21 includes at least one first indicating area 211, and any first indicating area 211 is symmetrical relative to the wide center line 13. The first indicating unit 21 is a groove formed by being recessed inward from the main body 1.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, each of the first indicating units 21 includes a linear (extending along the long side) rectangular groove. The rectangular groove is symmetrical with respect to the wide center line 13. Moreover, the depth, length and width of the rectangular grooves of the two first indicating units 21 are the same. Moreover, the rectangular grooves of the two first indicating units 21 are symmetrical with respect to the long center line 14.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in another optional embodiment, each of the first indicating units 21 includes a rhombus-shaped rhombus groove. The rhombus of the rhombus is symmetrical relative to the wide center line 13. Moreover, the depth, length and width of the rhombus grooves of the two first indicating units 21 are the same. Moreover, the rhombus grooves of the two first indicating units 21 are symmetrical relative to the long center line 14.

[0050] In another optional embodiment, each of the first indicating units 21 includes a triangular groove in the form of an isosceles triangle. The triangle of the isosceles triangle is symmetrical relative to the wide midline 13. Moreover, the depth, length and width of the triangular grooves of the two first indicating units 21 are the same. Moreover, the triangular grooves of the two first indicating units 21 are symmetrical relative to the long midline 14. Figure 5 As shown, the base of the isosceles triangle is closer to the center point 15 formed by the intersection of the long midline 14 and the wide midline 13 than the vertex not connected thereto. Figure 6 As shown, the base of the isosceles triangle is arranged farther from a center point 15 formed by the intersection of the long midline 14 and the wide midline 13 than the vertices not connected thereto.

[0051] In another optional embodiment, each of the first indicating units 21 includes a plurality of first indicating areas 211, and the plurality of first indicating areas 211 are arranged at intervals along the wide center line 13 of the main body 1. Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, each of the first indicating units 21 includes two, three or other numbers of first indicating areas 211, and each first indicating area 211 is a square, rectangular or circular groove.

[0052] In another optional embodiment, a second indicator portion 3 may be further provided on the upper side of the mass portion 101. The second indicator portion 3 is located between the two first indicator units 21 along the extension direction of the wide center line 13 of the main body 1. The second indicator portion 3 is point symmetrical about the center point 15 of the main body 1; wherein the center point 15 of the main body 1 is the intersection of the wide center line 13 and the long center line 14. Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, the second indicator portion 3 is in the shape of "5", "S" or "X". Generally, the second indicator portion 3 can be a groove formed by being recessed inward from the main body 1. Of course, in another optional embodiment, the second indicator portion 3 can be formed by protruding outward from the main body 1. Of course, in another optional embodiment, the second indicator portion 3 can be formed by laser or inkjet printing.

[0053] Obviously, the second indicating part 3 using this structure can also provide instructions to the operator, for example, the weight or model of the balancing block. In the automated production process, in order to achieve high efficiency of production, the machine does not distinguish between the left and right sides of the product, that is, when the latter balancing block rotates 180° relative to the previous balancing block, the machine does not recognize it and screen it out. If the design on the balancing block adopts a non-centrally symmetrical figure, the figure will flip during the production process, but the symmetrical design in this application can avoid this inconsistency. Although different specific embodiments are mentioned in the content of this application, this application is not limited to the situation described in the industry standards or embodiments, etc. Some industry standards or slightly modified implementation plans based on the implementation described in the custom method or embodiment can also achieve the same, equivalent or similar, or predictable implementation effects of the above embodiments after deformation. The embodiments of data acquisition, processing, output, judgment methods, etc. after these modifications or deformations can still fall within the scope of the optional implementation plan of this application.

[0054] Although the present application has been described through embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many modifications and changes to the present application without departing from the spirit of the present application. It is intended that the attached embodiments include these modifications and changes without departing from the present application.
