[0002] As people's awareness of environmental protection improves, more and more people choose low-carbon travel methods, and bicycles, as a more popular low-carbon means of transportation, are deeply loved.

[0003] Bicycle rims are made of various materials, among which carbon fiber is widely used in the production of high-end bicycles due to its light weight. The existing Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN216184195U discloses a new carbon fiber rim structure and a bicycle wheel, which includes two side walls, a connecting arm and a support arm connecting the opposite sides of the two side walls, and a foaming material is filled in the hollow. The utility model has a simple structure, can enhance the strength of the rim while meeting the requirement of lightweight, and does not affect the installation of narrow tires.

[0004] Carbon fiber composite materials are often used in lightweight bicycles due to their light weight and strong structure. Due to the need to reduce costs and minimize the weight of bicycles, most existing bicycle carbon fiber rims adopt a hollow ring structure. In order to reduce wear, they are generally provided with outer grooves and soft narrow tires are installed. However, in order to ensure safe use, the carbon fiber rims are hardened. The structural strength of the rims after hardening is greatly improved, but the ductility is affected to a certain extent. When riding on a long distance and a large slope, the friction between the rim and the brake disc heats up a large power, and the surface temperature of the rim rises. In order to avoid the softening of the rim, it is usually punched to increase heat dissipation by promoting air circulation. However, these heat dissipation holes are always exposed to the outside world. During idleness, dust and muddy water in the air are easily introduced, which increases the weight of the vehicle body. Dust and muddy water remaining inside the rim for a long time may even corrode the rim and affect riding safety. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a bicycle wheel rim structure, which solves the problem that the heat dissipation holes in the traditional wheel rim are always exposed to the outside world. During the idle process, dust and mud in the air are easily introduced, which increases the weight of the vehicle body. The dust and mud remain inside the rim for a long time and may even corrode the rim, affecting riding safety.

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The utility model embodiment discloses a bicycle wheel rim structure.

The air vent 8 runs through the rim body 1 and the clamping strip 6 as a whole, and the air vent 8 is communicated with the inside of the main air duct 5. A dust cover 9 is provided inside the air cover 8, and a guide cover 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the dust cover 9, and a secondary air duct 11 is opened inside the guide cover 10. An air leakage hole 12 is also opened inside the rim body 1, and the air leakage hole 12 is communicated with the inside of the main air duct 5. An air guide pipe 13 is fixedly connected inside the air leakage hole 12, and the air guide pipe 13 is connected to the brake disc body 15 through a air leakage cover 14.

[0028] When in use, the wheel rim body 1 rotates during riding. During long-term riding, the outside air will continuously squeeze the dust cover 9. When the air inside the main air duct 5 is reduced, the dust cover 9 enters the vent 8 due to the pressure difference, so that the vent 8 is connected to the external environment. The outside air will pass through the secondary air duct 11 on the guide cover 10, and after circulating in the main air duct 5, it will enter the air duct 13 in the bleed hole 12 for transportation, and then the air will be dispersed and released through the bleed cover 14 to dissipate heat and cool the surface of the brake disc body 15. When not riding, the dust cover 9 will isolate the main air duct 5 from the external environment. Compared with the traditional method, while meeting the heat dissipation requirements, it can better isolate the external environment when idle to protect the safety of users.

[0029] In order to ensure heat dissipation, Figure 1 , 3 As shown in FIG. 4 , a slot 7 is provided inside the clamping strip 6 , and the slot 7 is adapted to the wheel rim body 1 . The clamping strip 6 is connected to the wheel rim body 1 through the slot 7 . The vent holes 8 and the air vent holes 12 are distributed in a ring array around the brake disc body 15 .

[0030] When in use, the clamping strip 6 is clamped with the outer narrow tire 2 through the clamping groove 7, and is fixed to the rim body 1 through the internal structure of the vent hole 8, thereby increasing the overall structural strength of the device and making disassembly and replacement more convenient. The distribution of the annular array can ensure the entry of air to the greatest extent, improve the heat dissipation effect of the brake disc body 15, and always keep the reinforced spoke 3 and the rim body 1 fixedly connected. The clamping strip 6 is connected to the reinforced spoke 3 and the rim body 1 by clamping.

[0031] To increase the strength, Figure 1As shown, the outer groove 4 is opened on the outer side of the rim body 1, the outer narrow tire 2 and the outer groove 4 are adapted to each other, the outer narrow tire 2 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the outer groove 4, the clamping strip 6 is connected to the brake disc body 15 through the reinforcing spoke 3, the reinforcing spoke 3 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the brake disc body 15, the reinforcing spokes 3 are parallel to each other and symmetrically arranged, the rim body 1 and the reinforcing spokes 3 are an integrally formed structure, and there is an angle difference between the vent hole 8 and the rim body 1 and the clamping strip 6.

[0032] When in use, the reinforced spokes 3 connected to the rim body 1 through the clamping strips 6 can increase the overall structural strength of the device and effectively reduce the probability of deformation of the rim body 1 when the device is idle. The outer narrow tire 2 installed in the outer groove 4 on the rim body 1 reduces the direct contact between the device and the ground, ensuring that the appearance of the device is not easily changed.

[0033] Finally, for ease of use, such as Figure 4 and 5 As shown, a dust filter ring 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the main air duct 5, and sleeves 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the dust filter ring 16. The sleeve 17 is a hollow structure, and a spring 18 is provided inside the sleeve 17. Both ends of the spring 18 are installed with push bolts 19, and the push bolts 19 are movably connected to the inside of the sleeve 17.

[0034] When in use, after the dust cover 9 is compressed by air, the extension length of the spring 18 is reduced, the deflector 10 and the sleeve 17 approach each other, and when riding gradually stops, the external air pressure weakens, and the spring 18 resets the dust cover 9 through the push bolt 19, making it more reliable and convenient to use.

[0035] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
