Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bicycle hub lubrication, in particular to a bicycle hub which is easy to lubricate and maintain. Background Art

[0002] Bicycle hubs, commonly known as "hub barrels", are available in two types: iron hubs and aluminum hubs. Iron hubs are the hubs for ordinary bicycles ridden at home, while aluminum hubs are generally higher-end hubs, used as hubs for mountain bikes, performance bikes, road bikes, etc. Bicycle hubs connect the spokes and axles, and are a relatively important part of a bicycle. The average speed of riding a bicycle is directly affected by the quality of the hub, because the whole looks like a hub being struck when standing up, hence the name "hub".

[0003] Lubrication is a technical measure that can improve the friction state of the friction pair to reduce frictional resistance and slow down wear. Lubrication is generally achieved through lubricants. In addition, lubricants also have functions such as rust prevention, vibration reduction, sealing, and power transmission. Making full use of modern lubrication technology can significantly improve the performance and life of the machine and reduce energy consumption.

[0004] Please refer to the patent publication CN217574710U for a bicycle hub that is easy to lubricate and maintain. The patent states that "most existing bicycle hubs are sealed structures, and the long-term relative rotation between the hub outer shaft and the hub inner shaft will consume the internal grease oil. When replenishing the grease oil, the hub needs to be disassembled as a whole to replenish the internal grease oil, making the traditional bicycle hub extremely inconvenient to lubricate and maintain." In addition, the existing technology is prone to uneven lubrication when lubricating the bicycle hub, and some parts cannot be lubricated, so the practicality and flexibility are low. Therefore, this application proposes another technical solution to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figure 1-3 A bicycle hub that is easy to lubricate and maintain in this embodiment includes a lower bracket 1 and an upper bracket 2. Adjustable lubrication mechanisms are provided on the outer side and the inner side of the lower bracket 1 and the upper bracket 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, the adjusting lubrication mechanism includes a fixing plate 3 fixedly installed on the outer side of the lower bracket 1 and the upper bracket 2, the inner side of the fixing plate 3 is threadedly connected with a fixing bolt 4, and a thread groove is opened inside the fixing plate 3. The fixing bolt 4 is threadedly connected to the fixing plate 3 through the thread groove, which facilitates the fixing bolt 4 to fix and disassemble the fixing plate 3.

[0025] Among them, a limit plate 5 is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper bracket 2 and the lower bracket 1. A plurality of fixing holes are opened inside the limit plate 5, and the fixing holes are evenly distributed inside the limit plate 5, which helps the limit plate 5 to limit. An oil inlet pipe 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the upper bracket 2. A pipe groove is opened on the top of the upper bracket 2. The oil inlet pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the upper bracket 2 through the pipe groove, which helps the oil inlet pipe 6 to deliver lubricating oil to the inner side of the upper bracket 2 and the lower bracket 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, a sealing cover 601 is provided on the top of the oil inlet pipe 6, and a liquid infusion pipe 7 is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the oil inlet pipe 6. A mounting groove is provided on the inner side of the upper bracket 2, and the liquid infusion pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the upper bracket 2 through the mounting groove, which helps the liquid infusion pipe 7 to drive the lubricating oil for lubrication. A fixed pad 8 is provided inside the upper bracket 2, and a hub inner shaft 9 is movably connected between the lower bracket 1 and the upper bracket 2.

[0027] Among them, the outer side of the hub inner shaft 9 is provided with a guide pattern 10, which is in the shape of a connected thread. The guide pattern 10 is used to guide the lubricating liquid. The adjusting lubrication mechanism also includes a sponge pad 11 fixedly installed on the inner side of the lower bracket 1. The sponge pad 11 is used to filter the lubricating oil to a certain extent, which helps to better recover the lubricating oil. A liquid outlet pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the lower bracket 1, and locking nuts 13 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the hub inner shaft 9. A fixed screw 15 is provided on the inner side of the locking nut 13, and a crank frame 1501 is provided on the outer side of the left fixed screw 15.

[0028] It should be noted that the bicycle hub which is easy to lubricate and maintain uses a fixing bolt 4 to fix the fixing plate 3 through an adjustable lubrication mechanism, so as to install and fix the lower bracket 1 and the upper bracket 2, and uses lubricating oil to enter the interior of the infusion tube 7 through the oil inlet pipe 6. The lubricating oil flows into the inner side of the guide pattern 10 through the infusion tube 7 and spreads and flows through the guide pattern 10. The guide pattern 10 can deliver the lubricating oil to various parts of the hub inner shaft 9, which is convenient for all-round lubrication of the hub inner shaft 9 and greatly improves the lubrication efficiency. Using the outlet pipe 12, the lubricating oil can pass through the sponge pad 11 and enter the interior of the outlet pipe 12 for recovery, which improves the efficiency of the use of the lubricating oil and increases the practicality of the device.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0030] The bicycle hub which is easy to lubricate and maintain, when in use, firstly sleeve the lower bracket 1 and the upper bracket 2 on the outer side of the hub inner shaft 9, and closely fit the fixing plates 3 on the outer sides of the lower bracket 1 and the upper bracket 2, and then rotate the fixing bolts 4 into the interior of the fixing plates 3, so as to install and fix the lower bracket 1 and the upper bracket 2, and at the same time, the lower bracket 1 and the upper bracket 2 can be quickly disassembled, and the flexibility is high. When the hub inner shaft 9 needs to be lubricated, firstly open the sealing cover 601 from the top of the oil inlet pipe 6, and then pour the lubricating oil into the interior of the upper bracket 2 through the oil inlet pipe 6, and the lubricating oil passes through the oil inlet pipe 6. The oil pipe 6 enters the interior of the infusion pipe 7, and the lubricating oil flows into the inner side of the guide pattern 10 through the infusion pipe 7 and spreads and flows through the guide pattern 10. The guide pattern 10 can deliver the lubricating oil to various parts of the hub inner shaft 9, which is convenient for all-round lubrication of the hub inner shaft 9 and greatly improves the lubrication efficiency. During the operation of the entire device, the lubricating oil can be continuously applied to the outer side of the hub inner shaft 9 for lubrication. The liquid outlet pipe 12 can be opened, and the lubricating oil can pass through the sponge pad 11 and enter the interior of the liquid outlet pipe 12 for recovery, thereby improving the use efficiency of the lubricating oil and increasing the practicability of the device.
