Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a wheel hub bearing, in particular to an inflatable maintenance-free wheel hub bearing. Background Art

[0002] The wheel hub bearing is an important component of the vehicle. Its main function is to support the wheel and reduce the friction resistance between the wheel and the ground, helping the vehicle to run more smoothly. The wheel hub bearing usually includes an outer ring, an inner ring and several rollers. A raceway for the rollers to roll is formed between the outer ring and the inner ring. Sealing rings are also provided on both sides of the raceway to ensure sealing. An inner hole is formed on the inner ring for the axle to pass through and connect. The wheel hub bearing needs to be optimized according to the specific type of vehicle used. For example, when the wheel hub is used on an off-road vehicle, the off-road vehicle often needs to face various harsh road conditions in the wild during driving. This makes it difficult to maintain stable tire pressure during driving. If the pressure is too low, it will seriously affect the driving performance of the off-road vehicle. Maintenance-free mainly requires long-term stable work, which leads to the need for certain improvements to this type of wheel hub bearing to better adapt to off-road conditions. Utility Model Content

[0005] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are: by setting the inner ring into a first ring and a second ring, notches are set on the first ring and the second ring, and the two notches can form an air inlet hole connected to the inner hole when the two are spliced together, the pressure pump can be directly connected to the inner hole of the channel through the air inlet hole, allowing the gas from the pressure pump to pass through the shaft, bearing unit and wheel hub, and directly fill the tire with gas. When the tire pressure drops, the pressure pump will automatically start and automatically inflate the tire to maintain the stability of the air pressure in the tire, ensure the stability of the vehicle tire pressure and better adapt to off-road conditions. The air inlet hole is set in the gap between the two inner sealing rings so that after the wheel hub bearing is installed as a whole, the gas can be prevented from leaking out of the gap between the outer ring and the inner ring through the sealing rings on both sides to ensure the sealing effect.

[0006] The present invention can be further configured as follows: the first ferrule includes an inserting portion, a mounting groove and a first hook portion; the second ferrule includes a second hook portion; the second ferrule can be fitted onto the inserting portion; the mounting groove is provided on the inserting portion and extends to the end thereof; the notch of the first ferrule is provided corresponding to the mounting groove; and the first hook portion and the second hook portion are provided corresponding to the notches of the first ferrule and the second ferrule respectively, and are both bent toward the inner hole.

[0007] Through further settings, an inserting portion, a mounting groove and a first hook portion are provided on the first ring, and a second hook portion is provided on the second ring, so that the second ring is sleeved on the inserting portion of the first ring, and then the mounting groove is provided on the inserting portion, and the notch of the first ring corresponds to the position of the mounting groove, and the first hook portion and the second hook portion respectively correspond to the notch positions of the rings where they are located. During installation, when the second ring is sleeved on the inserting portion of the first ring, the second hook portion can cooperate with the mounting groove to guide the installation position, so that it is convenient to install it to the position where the first hook portion and the second hook are in contact.

[0008] The utility model can be further configured to include a retaining spring, wherein the first hook portion and the second hook portion can abut against each other after the first ferrule and the second ferrule are assembled, and the retaining spring is sleeved on the first hook portion and the second hook portion.

[0009] Through further configuration, an additional retaining spring is provided so that the retaining spring can be fitted onto the first hook and the second hook after the first ferrule and the second ferrule are assembled, thereby providing positioning and ensuring the stability of the product.

[0010] The present invention can be further configured as follows: a first groove portion is provided at the inner hole of the first ferrule, the first groove portion is provided at a position away from the insertion portion, an inclined portion and a second groove portion are provided on the second ferrule, the inclined portion is provided at the end of the second ferrule away from its notch, and the inclined portion is gradually larger toward the outside, the second groove portion is provided on the inclined portion, and shaft sealing rings are provided in both the first groove portion and the second groove portion.

[0011] Through further settings, a first groove portion and a second groove portion are respectively provided at the inner hole position of the first ring and the inner hole position of the second ring, and a shaft sealing ring is provided in the two groove portions. The two shaft sealing rings located at both ends of the inner hole of the inner ring cooperate with the core shaft to form a seal, thereby preventing gas from leaking from the gap between the core shaft and the inner ring, thereby ensuring the sealing effect.

[0012] The present invention can be further configured as follows: a bracket connecting the inner sealing ring and the corresponding outer ring is provided between the inner sealing ring and the corresponding outer ring.

[0013] By further arranging a bracket connecting the inner sealing ring and the corresponding outer ring, support can be provided for the inner sealing ring, thereby ensuring the stability of the wheel hub bearing during operation and ensuring the sealing effect.
