Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile wheel hub units, in particular to an automobile wheel hub unit with a small starting torque. Background Art
[0002] The automobile wheel hub unit is an important part that connects the tire (rotating part) / brake disc (rotating part) and the steering knuckle. Its main function is to reduce the friction of the rotating pair and transmit torque, while bearing the radial load and axial load of the vehicle.
[0003] There are various types of automobile wheel hub units. A new type of automobile wheel hub unit disclosed in Chinese patent CN219214606U can be referred to, which includes structures such as fastening bolts. Customers of the wheel hub unit can replace the tire fastening bolts by themselves to enhance convenience. However, the existing automobile wheel hub unit still has the disadvantage of a large starting torque. Because the sealing part of the traditional automobile wheel hub unit is arranged relatively compactly and the contact method of the sealing component is not smooth enough, it is easy to increase the torque of the starting rotation during the subsequent rotation process, which greatly increases the energy loss. Therefore, an automobile wheel hub unit with a small starting torque is proposed to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. 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.
[0020] See also Figure 1-2A small starting torque automobile hub unit comprises a flange body 7, an outer ring 1, an inner ring 2, rollers 3 and a retaining frame 4, a bolt 8 is arranged on the outer side of the flange body 7, a gear ring 9 is sleeved on the inner side of the flange body 7, a nut 10 is arranged on the inner side of the flange body 7, the outer ring 1 is sleeved on the outer side of the flange body 7, an inner ring 2 is arranged between the outer ring 1 and the flange body 7, a retaining frame 4 is arranged between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2, a plurality of rollers 3 are arranged in the retaining frame 4, the rollers 3 are in contact with the inner ring 2, and a sealing assembly 5 and a lower sealing member 6 are respectively arranged between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2.
[0021] Among them, the sealing assembly 5 includes an inner frame 51 and an outer frame 52, the outer frame 52 is elastically pressed against the inner wall of the outer ring 1, the inner frame 51 is elastically pressed against the inner wall of the inner ring 2, the first sealing lip 53 is elastically sleeved on the end face of the outer frame 52, and the second sealing lip 54 and the third sealing lip 55 are integrally formed on one side of the first sealing lip 53. The first sealing lip 53, the second sealing lip 54 and the third sealing lip 55 are all pressed against the end face of the outer ring 1, the second sealing lip 54 and the third sealing lip 55 are both inclined, and a "U"-shaped groove is formed at the connection between the second sealing lip 54 and the third sealing lip 55. The first sealing lip 53 is placed at an angle, and the setting direction of the first sealing lip 53 is opposite to the setting direction of the second sealing lip 54 and the third sealing lip 55.
[0022] In addition, the pressing surfaces of the first sealing lip 53, the second sealing lip 54 and the third sealing lip 55 are all right angles. Due to the unique right-angle design, the friction force can be reduced, and the pressing is smooth, and the phenomenon of over-tightening of the seal is not likely to occur.
[0023] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0024] During the use of the automobile hub unit, due to the design of the internal sealing components, the pressing surfaces of the sealing lips are set at right angles and pressed obliquely, which can make the pressing method of the seal have a certain smoothness during rotation, can reduce resistance, and thus reduce the torque, and the number of each sealing lip is reduced. The second sealing lip 54 and the third sealing lip 55 are set in the area where the seal needs to be reinforced, and the area close to the outside is set with only one first sealing lip 53. Therefore, the unique design can make the sealing components arranged less compactly, and the pressing surface is also reduced, further reducing the torque after the car is started.
