Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bearings, and in particular to a hub fixing structure that does not require adjustment of bearing clearance. Background Art

[0002] The working clearance of the hub unit is crucial to the performance and life of the wheel hub. At present, during the operation of the automobile wheel hub, the actual working clearance of the hub unit will change due to complex conditions such as overload, load impact, wear and temperature rise of the hub unit bearing working surface, resulting in a decrease in the stability and service life of the hub unit, and even failures such as hub locking and fire, causing serious economic losses and personal safety.

[0003] After searching, the patent document with authorization announcement number CN203172350U discloses a wheel hub fixing structure that does not require adjustment of bearing clearance. It includes two tapered roller bearings arranged back to back and installed in the wheel hub. The outer rings of the two bearings are positioned by the shoulders on both sides of the wheel hub, and the inner rings of the two bearings are positioned by the shoulders of the shaft head and the bearing locking nuts. A spacer is mounted on the shaft head, and the spacer is located between the two bearing inner rings. The two bearing inner rings rest on both ends of the spacer. The bearing clearance is ensured by the length of the spacer and the distance between the two shoulders of the wheel hub. When assembling the wheel hub, only the bearing locking nuts need to be tightened, and there is no need to adjust the bearing clearance. This eliminates the need to manually adjust the tightening torque of the locking nut and the action of loosening the nut after tightening. It is easy to operate and helps to extend the service life of the bearing.

[0004] In actual use, it was found that the rollers between the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing in the wheel hub would wear out after working for a long time, resulting in an increase in the clearance between the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing. The existing device adjusts the clearance between the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing through a spacer sleeve, which leads to a large consumption of the spacer sleeve material, increases the cost of use, and is not conducive to use. Therefore, we proposed a wheel hub fixing structure that does not require adjustment of the bearing clearance to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content
