Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile flanges, in particular to an automobile hub flange which is not easily deformed. Background Art
[0002] The automotive wheel hub flange, often referred to simply as the flange, is a key component of the vehicle's wheel hub. It is typically a ring-shaped part mounted on the wheel hub, connecting the tire to the wheel hub. This component plays a crucial role in the vehicle's structure, and its performance directly impacts wheel securement and vehicle safety. The flange securely fastens the tire to the wheel hub using bolts and other fasteners, ensuring it does not fall off or loosen during driving. The flange withstands various forces and torques transmitted from the tire and vehicle body, including gravity, braking forces, and steering forces, and therefore requires sufficient strength and rigidity.
[0003] However, the existing technical solutions still have the following problems:
[0004] Circular flanges typically consist of a ring-shaped structure, and their rigidity depends primarily on the strength of the material and the thickness of the flange. When subjected to external forces, circular flanges are prone to deformation, especially when the flange diameter is large or the material is thin. Due to the lack of internal support structures, circular flanges are prone to bending. This deformation not only affects the flange's sealing performance but can also cause loosening or damage to connected components. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a non-deformable automotive wheel hub flange, addressing at least one of the issues raised in the prior art. For example, the flange is less likely to deform when subjected to external forces, thanks to the reinforcement of the triangular frame. This helps maintain a tight fit between the flange and the connecting component, ensuring high performance under high pressure and high load conditions.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a non-deformable automobile hub flange, comprising a hub flange, tripods are arranged inside both sides of the hub flange, the ends of the tripods are aligned with the outer side of the hub flange, and a connecting rod is passed through the surface of the hub flange.
[0007] Furthermore: the tripods are arranged in a circumferential manner with equal spacing inside the hub flange.
[0008] Furthermore, the hub flange surface is provided with an insertion rod channel slidably connected to the outer side of the connecting rod, the inner wall of the insertion rod channel is fixedly connected to a positioning ring, a clamping ring is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting rod, the inner ring of the clamping ring is slidably connected to the outer side of the connecting rod, and the bottom surface of the clamping ring is fitted with the surface of the positioning ring.
[0009] Furthermore: a clamping block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamping ring, and a fixing groove for inserting and connecting with the clamping block is provided on the surface of the hub flange.
[0010] Furthermore: a socket is provided at the center of the clamping ring and is slidably connected to the outer side of the connecting rod.
[0011] Furthermore: a card slot is provided on the inner wall of the socket, and an inserting strip is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting rod and is slidably connected to the card slot.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This new design provides additional support for the flange through a triangular framework, enabling it to more effectively resist external pressure and tension. This structural advantage makes the flange more stable when subjected to heavy loads, reducing the risk of failure due to deformation. Compared to traditional circular flanges, flanges with an internal triangular framework have greater rigidity. This means they can maintain their shape in even harsher working environments, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a non-deformable automobile hub flange includes a hub flange 1, tripods 2 are arranged inside both sides of the hub flange 1, the ends of the tripods 2 are aligned with the outer side of the hub flange 1, and a connecting rod 3 is passed through the surface of the hub flange 1.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in the utility model, a non-deformable automobile hub flange is used. The hub flange 1 is responsible for connecting the tire and the wheel hub, and bearing various forces and moments from the vehicle. The end of the tripod 2 is aligned with the outer side of the hub flange 1, which can enhance the lateral rigidity of the hub flange 1 and provide effective support to prevent deformation when subjected to external forces. The connecting rod 3 is passed through the surface of the hub flange 1, mainly serving the purpose of connection and reinforcement. By tightly connecting the connecting rod 3 to the hub flange 1 and the tripod 2, a more stable overall structure can be formed, further improving the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the flange.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the tripods 2 are arranged in a circumferential arrangement at equal intervals within the hub flange 1 .
[0022] Specifically, by arranging the tripods 2 in a circumferential manner at equal intervals inside the hub flange 1, this layout enables each tripod 2 to evenly share external forces from all directions, thereby improving the overall load-bearing capacity and stability.
[0023] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the surface of the hub flange 1 is provided with a rod insertion channel 102 which is slidably connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 3, and a positioning ring 101 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rod insertion channel 102. A snap ring 4 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting rod 3, and the inner ring of the snap ring 4 is slidably connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 3, and the bottom surface of the snap ring 4 is fitted with the surface of the positioning ring 101.
[0024] Specifically, through this arrangement, when the connecting rod 3 needs to be installed on the hub flange 1, it is first passed through the rod insertion channel 102, and the retaining ring 4 is put on its outside. The positioning ring 101 is used to cooperate with the retaining ring 4 to achieve accurate positioning and fixation of the connecting rod 3. The bottom surface of the retaining ring 4 and the surface of the positioning ring 101 are fitted and connected together, which plays a role in limiting the axial movement of the connecting rod 3.
[0025] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a clamping block 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamping ring 4, and a fixing groove 103 for inserting and connecting with the clamping block 5 is opened on the surface of the hub flange 1.
[0026] Specifically, through this arrangement, the clamping block 5 is a protruding portion fixed to the outside of the snap ring 4, and its shape and size match the fixing groove 103 on the surface of the hub flange 1. When the snap ring 4 is slid into the appropriate position, the clamping block 5 can be inserted into the fixing groove 103, thereby further locking the snap ring 4 and the hub flange 1.
[0027] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a socket 401 is provided at the center of the snap ring 4 for sliding connection with the outer side of the connecting rod 3 .
[0028] Specifically, this arrangement creates a channel within the collar 4, with the shape and dimensions matching those of the outer surface of the connecting rod 3. This allows the connecting rod 3 to pass through the channel 401 and slide within the collar 4. The channel 401 provides space for the connecting rod 3 to slide, while also providing positioning and support. It ensures the connecting rod 3 remains correctly positioned within the collar 4 and prevents it from shifting or shaking when subjected to external forces.
[0029] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a slot 402 is provided on the inner wall of the socket 401 , and an inserting strip 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 3 and is slidably connected to the slot 402 .
[0030] Specifically, with this arrangement, when the insert 6 completely slides into the retaining groove 402 and reaches the predetermined position, the connecting rod 3 is securely fixed within the retaining ring 4. At this point, the bottom surface of the retaining ring 4, which is in contact with the positioning ring 101, and the engagement of the retaining block 5 with the retaining groove 103, together ensure a secure connection between the connecting rod 3 and the hub flange 1.
[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
