AI Technical Summary
In traditional kite reel designs, large-diameter bearings increase weight and cost, while side-mounted bearings cause problems such as center of gravity imbalance and outer wheel deformation.
Multiple rollers are used as the rotational support structure between the inner and outer wheels, replacing the single-ring large bearing. The outer ring of the roller and the raceway are designed as arc or V-shaped to ensure pure rolling friction and improve rotational smoothness and stability.
It reduces the weight and cost of kite wheels, increases axial load capacity, reduces friction coefficient and noise, and enhances the smoothness and stability of rotation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a kite wheel, and more particularly to a roller-type kite wheel with multiple rollers. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional kite reel designs, especially the widely used handheld kite reels, require ample space in the inner reel for easy gripping and control; while the outer reel needs to handle the kite line smoothly, with low noise and a suitable center of gravity. Therefore, the common practice is to install a concentric, large-diameter bearing between the inner and outer reels. This large-diameter bearing significantly increases the kite's weight and cost.
[0003] Traditional designs also involve miniaturizing the bearing and placing it on one side of the inner wheel to avoid the hand grip position and reduce weight and cost; however, this brings problems such as an off-center center of gravity due to the side placement, poor user experience, and off-center stress points on the outer wheel, causing deformation of the outer wheel when the wind is strong when reeling in or releasing the kite line. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a roller-type kite wheel with multiple rollers, which reduces the weight and cost of the kite wheel and ensures smooth and stable rotation.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is a roller-type kite wheel with multiple rollers, including an inner wheel and an outer wheel. The outer wheel is annular, and the inner wheel is installed inside the annular part of the outer wheel. The outer wheel and the inner wheel rotate relative to each other.
[0006] The inner wheel and the outer wheel have a plurality of rollers, which are mounted on the inner wheel or the outer wheel by means of a fixed mandrel device; the inner wheel or the outer wheel has a raceway that mates with the outer ring of the rollers;
[0007] The outer ring of the roller can rotate around the fixed mandrel device, and all rollers are mounted on the same circumference;
[0008] The rotation between the outer wheel and the inner wheel is supported by the rotation of rollers.
[0009] The optimized version of the above-mentioned roller-type kite reel has at least three rollers.
[0010] In the optimized version of the above-mentioned roller-type kite reel with multiple rollers, when the rollers are mounted on the inner wheel, the outer ring of the rollers mates with the raceway on the inner ring surface of the outer wheel; when the rollers are mounted on the outer wheel, the outer ring of the rollers mates with the raceway on the outer ring surface of the inner wheel.
[0011] The optimized version of the above-mentioned roller-type kite wheel with multiple rollers has a raceway cross-sectional shape of circular arc or V-shape, and the outer ring of the roller is matched with the cross-sectional shape of the raceway.
[0012] The optimized version of the above-mentioned roller-type kite wheel with multiple rollers has a raceway cross-sectional shape that is either a convex arc or a V-shape, or a concave arc or a V-shape.
[0013] The advantages of this application are as follows: The technical solution of this application proposes a kite wheel composed of an inner wheel, an outer wheel, and multiple rollers. Using multiple rollers as the rolling structure replaces the large single-ring bearing structure, serving as the rotation device between the inner and outer wheels, significantly reducing the weight and manufacturing cost of the kite wheel. Simultaneously, by designing the outer ring of the rollers and the outer wheel raceway as an arc or V-shaped structure, pure rolling friction between the kite wheel and the rollers is ensured, improving the axial load-bearing capacity of the kite wheel, reducing the coefficient of friction and noise, and improving the smoothness and stability of rotation.
