Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wheel rim testing equipment, and in particular to a wheel rim testing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, the demand for high-end bicycles is increasing, and cycling is becoming more and more popular. People are starting to pursue lighter riding tools. Due to its lightness and strength, carbon fiber composite materials are very suitable for manufacturing lightweight bicycles. At present, the trend of "carbon fiberization" in high-end bicycles is becoming more and more obvious.

[0003] The existing wheel rim, commonly known as a wheel hub, is a component that mounts and supports the tire around the perimeter of a wheel, forming the wheel together with the spokes. The wheel rim and spokes can be integral, permanently connected, or detachable.

[0004] Wheel rims made of metal materials such as aluminum alloys have high melting points, good heat resistance, and good thermal conductivity. The heat generated by friction is quickly dissipated, preventing heat accumulation and excessive temperature rise that could affect the strength of the wheel rim.

[0005] However, the situation is different for resin-based composite materials. Carbon fiber itself has excellent heat resistance. Therefore, carbon fiber wheels were developed.

[0006] Existing carbon fiber wheel testing setups can only test wheels of specific sizes.

[0007] Therefore, in this utility model patent application, the applicant has carefully researched and developed a wheel rim testing device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
