Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-strength automotive wheel hub technology, specifically a lightweight high-strength automotive wheel hub. Background Technology

[0002] High-strength automotive wheels are typically made of high-strength materials, such as aluminum alloys and carbon fiber composites. These materials not only have high strength and rigidity, but also good corrosion resistance and heat dissipation performance. At the same time, the wheels are more stable when running at high speeds, reducing vibration and deformation, thereby improving driving smoothness and comfort.

[0003] The prior art discloses patent application number "CN202320417271.1", which discloses a high-strength, lightweight hollow aluminum alloy automotive wheel hub, including a mounting plate and a rim. The rim includes an outer ring and a support ring. A first reinforcing member is provided on the inner side of the rim. A support rod is connected to the side of the mounting plate. The number of support rods is set to several, and each support rod is connected to the rim. A second reinforcing member is provided on the inner side of the support rod. A main mounting hole and a secondary mounting hole are provided on the outer side of the mounting plate. The main mounting hole is located between the secondary mounting holes. The main mounting hole and the secondary mounting hole facilitate the installation of the car tire on the rim. The first reinforcing member increases the compressive strength of the rim, and the second reinforcing member increases the compressive strength of the support rod, thereby preventing the rim and support rod from easily deforming under large pressure.

[0004] This type of wheel hub can only increase compressive strength. However, in actual use, since car wheel hubs are usually made of hollow aluminum alloy, this makes the car wheel hub lighter. But at this time, the strength of the car wheel hub is poor, and it is easy to deform. At the same time, it cannot cushion and protect the entire car wheel hub, thus affecting the service life of the car wheel hub and making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lightweight, high-strength automotive wheel hub to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A lightweight, high-strength automotive wheel hub includes a rim, with spokes fixedly installed inside the rim, and an array of first reinforcing blocks fixedly connected inside the rim. Second reinforcing blocks are arrayed and connected to the inner side of the first reinforcing blocks. A cross-shaped retaining plate is snapped onto one side of the second reinforcing block, and a retaining block is fixedly installed on one side of the cross-shaped retaining plate.

[0008] A cross-shaped locking plate is snapped onto one side of the first reinforcing block. A telescopic rod is slidably connected to one side of the cross-shaped locking plate. A damper is fixedly connected between the telescopic rod and the fixed block. A connecting spring is fixedly connected between the damper and the cross-shaped locking plate.

[0009] Preferably, a threaded round rod is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block, and a support ring is snapped onto the outer surface of the threaded round rod, with the support ring located inside the rim.

[0010] Preferably, a support rod for supporting the spokes is fixedly connected to one side of the support ring, and a self-locking nut for fixing the support ring is threaded onto the outer white surface of the threaded rod.

[0012] Preferably, a U-shaped connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block and the first reinforcing block, and both ends of the first reinforcing block and the second reinforcing block are threaded with positioning bolts for fixing the first cross-shaped clamping plate and the second cross-shaped clamping plate.

[0013] Preferably, one side of the spoke has an array of grooves that are adapted to the protrusions, and one side of the protrusions is engaged with one side of the spokes through the grooves.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model utilizes the elasticity of the connecting spring to allow the telescopic rod to extend and retract at two points on the cross plate. Combined with the damper, it can further absorb the vibration force received by the car wheel hub, so as to reduce the vibration amplitude, thereby buffering and protecting the entire car wheel hub, ensuring that the car wheel hub is not damaged, extending the service life of the car wheel hub, and making driving more stable and comfortable.

[0016] 2. This utility model allows the protruding rod at the supporting ring to be engaged with the inside of the wheel spoke, thereby supporting and fixing the wheel spoke, ensuring the stability of the wheel rim and spoke, and improving the strength and stability of the car wheel hub.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a lightweight high-strength automobile wheel hub includes a rim 1, with spokes 2 fixedly installed inside the rim 1. The spokes 2 are made of hollow aluminum alloy material, which reduces the amount of material used, making it lighter and achieving weight reduction. An array of first reinforcing blocks 4 are fixedly connected inside the rim 1. Second reinforcing blocks 5 are arrayed and connected to the inner side of the first reinforcing blocks 4. A cross-shaped retaining plate 6 is snapped onto one side of the second reinforcing blocks 5. A fixing block 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the cross-shaped retaining plate 6.

[0027] A cross-shaped retaining plate 2 8 is snapped onto one side of the first reinforcing block 4. A telescopic rod 9 is slidably connected to one side of the cross-shaped retaining plate 2 8. A damper 10 is fixedly connected between the telescopic rod 9 and the fixed block 7. A connecting spring 11 is fixedly connected between the damper 10 and the cross-shaped retaining plate 2 8.

[0028] A threaded round rod 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block 7. A support ring 15 is snapped onto the outer surface of the threaded round rod 14. The support ring 15 is located inside the rim 1. By setting the support ring 15, the support ring 15 can be used to reinforce the installation of the spokes 2 and the fixing block 7, so as to reinforce and support the entire car wheel hub and give the car wheel hub high strength.

[0029] A protruding rod 16 of a support spoke 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the support ring 15. A self-locking nut 17 for fixing the support ring 15 is threaded on the outer white surface of the threaded rod 14. The self-locking nut 17 has a self-locking ability and good stability, so as to fix the support ring 15 and make the support ring 15 less prone to loosening.

[0030] The spoke 2 has a central hole 33 inside and an array of mounting holes 3 inside.

[0031] A U-shaped connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block 7 and the first reinforcing block 4. The U-shaped connecting plate 12 is fixed to the fixing block 7 and the first reinforcing block 4 with screws to strengthen the installation of the fixing block 7. The first reinforcing block 4 and the second reinforcing block 5 are both threadedly connected with positioning bolts 13 for fixing the cross-shaped card plate 6 and the cross-shaped card plate 8.

[0032] One side of the spoke 2 has an array of grooves 18, which are adapted to the protrusion 16. One side of the protrusion 16 is engaged with one side of the spoke 2 through the grooves 18.

[0033] The working principle of the lightweight, high-strength automotive wheel hub provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0034] By attaching the first cross plate 6 and the second cross plate 8 to the inside of the second reinforcing block 5 and the first reinforcing block 4 respectively, and then rotating the positioning bolt 13, the positioning bolt 13 is used to press and fix the first cross plate 6 and the second cross plate 8, ensuring the stability of the two cross plates. Then, when the car wheel hub is in use, the elastic force of the connecting spring 11 can be used to extend and retract the telescopic rod 9 at the second cross plate 8. With the damper 10, the vibration force on the car wheel hub can be further absorbed to reduce the vibration amplitude, thereby buffering and protecting the entire car wheel hub, ensuring that the car wheel hub is not damaged, extending the service life of the car wheel hub, and making the driving more stable and comfortable.

[0035] By engaging the support ring 15 into the threaded rod 14 at the fixing block 7, and then rotating the self-locking nut 17 onto the threaded rod 14, the entire support ring 15 can be locked using the self-locking nut 17. Then, the protrusion 16 at the support ring 15 can also be engaged into the inside of the spoke 2 to support and fix the spoke 2, ensuring the stability of the rim 1 and spoke 2, and improving the strength and stability of the car wheel hub.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
