[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a wheel hub end cap with a sealing structure, including a wheel hub end cap body 1, a top cover 11 screwed onto the top of the wheel hub end cap body 1, an end cap connecting part 2 provided at the bottom of the wheel hub end cap body 1, the bottom of the wheel hub end cap body 1 being mounted on the car wheel hub through the end cap connecting part 2, a sealing connection structure 5 provided on the end cap connecting part 2, a connecting flange 51 provided on the sealing connection structure 5, a sealing gasket A52 installed at the bottom of the connecting flange 51, and a sealing gasket B55 covering the bottom of the sealing gasket A52; the wheel hub end cap body 1 is sealed and mounted on the car wheel hub through the sealing connection structure 5 at the bottom.

[0022] Working principle: the hub end cover body 1 is sealed and installed on the automobile hub through the sealing connection structure 5 arranged at the bottom, at this time the sealing gasket is composed of two parts of sealing gasket A 52 and sealing gasket B 55 in a composite installation mode, sealing gasket A 52 and sealing gasket B 55 are interposed between the hub end cover body 1 and the hub, and the sealing gasket A 52 and the sealing gasket B 55 after being extruded seal the hub end cover body 1 and the hub; sealing gasket A 52 and sealing gasket B 55 form a double sealing structure, compared with a single sealing gasket, can more effectively block dust, moisture and impurities from entering the hub interior, or the lubricating oil in the hub interior from overflowing; during the driving process of the vehicle, the hub will be affected by various forces and different environmental conditions; the composite sealing gasket can better adapt to these complex working conditions, through the synergistic effect of the two layers of sealing gaskets, it can still maintain good sealing performance when the vehicle is vibrating, jolting or the temperature changes; the two sealing gaskets jointly bear the extrusion from the hub end cover body 1 and the hub, can disperse the pressure and reduce the pressure peak value borne by each sealing gasket; this helps to reduce the wear rate of the sealing gasket and prolong its service life; compared with some complex single sealing structure, the composite structure composed of two relatively simple sealing gaskets may be easier to install; the installer can more conveniently place the sealing gasket A 52 and the sealing gasket B 55 in the correct position respectively, reduce the installation difficulty and improve the installation efficiency; when maintaining, if one of the sealing gaskets is found to have a problem, such as sealing gasket A 52 is damaged, and sealing gasket B 55 can still work normally, then only the damaged sealing gasket A 52 can be replaced, without replacing the entire sealing system, thereby saving maintenance cost and time; the connecting flange 51 and the sealing gasket A 52 are positioned and assembled through six groups of extension seats 53 and extension openings 59; the sealing gasket A 52 and the sealing gasket B 55 are positioned and assembled through six groups of butt joint holes 54 and butt joint columns 56; so that the sealing gasket A 52 and the sealing gasket B 55 are in an expanded state when they are interposed between the hub end cover body 1 and the hub during installation;

[0023] The expanded state allows the sealing gasket to fully and uniformly adhere to the contact surface between the hub end cover body 1 and the hub, avoiding local wrinkles or distortions, thereby ensuring that the sealing gasket is uniformly stressed when subjected to pressure, effectively preventing sealing failure caused by uneven stress, ensuring good sealing effect, and reducing the probability of cracking; the expanded sealing gasket can make closer contact with the surfaces of the hub end cover and the hub, filling small gaps and uneven places, reducing leakage channels, and better blocking dust, moisture, and impurities from entering the hub interior, protecting the bearings and other components inside the hub from external pollutants; the extension seat 53, the extension opening 59, the butt joint hole 54, and the butt joint column 56 together form a positioning structure between the sealing gasket A 52 and the sealing gasket B 55, which allows the sealing gasket to be quickly and accurately placed in the predetermined position during installation, without the need for additional time to adjust the state of the sealing gasket, reducing uncertainty during installation and improving installation speed and accuracy, which helps to improve overall production or maintenance efficiency; since the sealing gasket can be in the ideal expanded state during installation, the need for rework due to improper installation that causes damage to the sealing gasket or poor sealing effect is reduced, saving manpower, material resources, and time costs; being in the expanded state during installation can avoid excessive stretching, twisting, or folding of the sealing gasket A 52 and the sealing gasket B 55 during installation, thereby reducing stress concentration inside the sealing gasket A 52 and the sealing gasket B 55; lower stress levels help to slow down the aging and fatigue process of the sealing gasket A 52 and the sealing gasket B 55, extending their service life; the uniformly expanded sealing gasket A 52 and the sealing gasket B 55 have more uniform friction with the hub end cover and the hub during operation, which will not cause excessive wear in some parts due to local folding or protrusions, which is beneficial to maintaining the integrity and performance stability of the sealing gasket, further extending its effective service life.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the sealing connection structure 5 includes a connecting flange 51, a sealing gasket A 52, an extension seat 53, a butt joint hole 54, a sealing gasket B 55, a butt joint column 56, a first perforation 57, a second perforation 58, and an extension opening 59, and the axial section of the connecting flange 51, the sealing gasket A 52, and the sealing gasket B 55 is a concentric circle structure.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of groups of connecting holes are uniformly provided on the connecting flange 51, a plurality of groups of second perforations 58 are uniformly provided on the sealing gasket A 52, and a plurality of groups of first perforations 57 are uniformly provided on the sealing gasket B 55, and six groups of connecting holes, second perforations 58, and first perforations 57 are provided.
