Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fixing wheel spokes on a wheel rim or a wheel hub, in particular to a high-strength carbon fiber spoke. Background Art

[0002] Spokes for vehicles are generally used to connect the rim and the hub. Traditional spokes for vehicles are made of stainless steel, which is heavy, expensive, and has low production efficiency. In order to solve this problem, the prior art has introduced carbon fiber spokes, which include a carbon fiber spoke rod and two metal parts connected to the two ends of the carbon fiber spoke rod, one of which is a cap head that can be connected to the hub, and the other is a tooth cap that can be connected to the rim. Since bicycle spokes are hinged components, during use, the spokes are subjected to tension, and the spokes are easily detached due to tension changes. Therefore, the tensile strength requirements and fatigue performance requirements of the spokes are relatively high. In order to improve the tensile strength of the spokes, the method commonly used in the prior art is to glue the spokes and the spoke joint connector, but in long-term use, the spokes are easily detached due to glue fatigue damage, so a high-strength carbon fiber spoke is proposed.

[0004] Furthermore, a threaded hole one is provided inside the long-tooth cap and passes through both ends, the threaded hole one is threadedly connected to the threaded head, and an outer wall at one end of the outer side of the long-tooth cap is provided with an external thread.

[0005] Furthermore, a second threaded hole is provided inside the round cap head 3 and passes through both ends, and the second threaded hole is threadedly connected to the threaded head.
