Since bicycles are often used outdoors, in rainy or humid environments, the hub is easily corroded by rain and moisture. If the hub is not waterproof, rainwater will penetrate into the hub, causing problems such as loss of lubricating oil and rust of bearings, affecting the performance and service life of the bicycle.

[0003] Therefore, in the existing market, some bicycle hubs adopt a waterproof design. For example, Chinese patent CN219789794U discloses a bicycle hub with waterproof function.
