[0020] Further, the surface of axle tube 2 is sleeved with shaft head nut 406, one end of shaft head nut 406 is matched with spline sleeve 403 and outer taper bearing 405, and shaft head nut 406 is detachably connected with axle tube 2 by bolts, so that spline sleeve 403 and outer taper bearing 405 are conveniently limited by the setting of shaft head nut 406.
[0021] Further, one end of spacer 401 is attached to one end of inner taper bearing 3, the other end of spacer 401 is attached to one end of adjusting washer 404, and one end of adjusting washer 404 is matched with the size of spline sleeve 403 and outer taper bearing 405, so that adjusting washer 404 and spline sleeve 403 are limited at the same time by the size of spline sleeve 403 and outer taper bearing 405 matched with one end of adjusting washer 404.
[0022] Further, the inner wall of spline sleeve 403 is in spline cooperation with the surface of axle tube 2, and the surface of spline sleeve 403 is in interference fit with the inner wall of outer taper bearing 405, so that spline sleeve 403 is conveniently slid on the surface of axle tube 2 while avoiding rotation of axle tube 2 by the mutual cooperation of spline sleeve 403 and the surface of axle tube 2.
[0023] Further, the inner wall of inner taper bearing 3 is matched with the size of the surface of axle tube 2, and the surface of inner taper bearing 3 is abutted with the inner wall of hub shell 1, so that the friction between inner taper bearing 3 and the inner wall of hub shell 1 is conveniently increased by the setting of inner taper bearing 3.
[0024] Further, the spacer sleeve 401 and the spline sleeve 403 are made of wear-resistant material, and the adjusting washer 404 has a size of one silk. The spacer sleeve 401, the spline sleeve 403 and the adjusting washer 404 are made of wear-resistant material, so that the service life of the spacer sleeve 401, the spline sleeve 403 and the adjusting washer 404 is improved.
