Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically an automotive wheel hub bolt. Background Technology

[0002] Most commonly available automotive wheel bolts on the market have a simple hexagonal prism shape in the middle, lacking design considerations for balanced force distribution and ease of operation. During vehicle operation, the traditional hexagonal structure cannot effectively distribute the complex and variable stresses on the wheel bolts, making them prone to fatigue cracks or even breakage due to uneven stress, significantly impacting their service life.

[0003] Meanwhile, during installation and disassembly, the traditional wheel hub bolts, when used with socket wrenches, present significant obstacles due to their less-than-smooth surface shape. This is especially true when the wheel hub installation space is narrow, making it difficult to put on and take off the wrench, resulting in low installation and disassembly efficiency and wasting a lot of time and effort.

[0004] Furthermore, existing wheel bolts lack lightweight design and fail to achieve effective weight reduction through reasonable structural design, thus increasing the vehicle's unnecessary load. Therefore, a completely new design for automotive wheel bolts is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automotive wheel hub bolt that can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of petal-shaped cut surfaces in the middle is one, and the top of the curved surface of each petal-shaped cut surface forms a continuously transitioning arc-shaped ridge.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the tail end and the middle end are detachable connection structures, and the bottom of the tail end is provided with a threaded connection part that matches the top of the middle end.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the head end and the middle end are designed as a single piece, and the end of the head end is also provided with an internal thread.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an automotive wheel hub bolt with the following advantages:

[0011] Designing the screw cylinder as an ellipse allows for balanced force distribution, reducing the risk of fatigue cracks or even breakage of automotive screws over long service lives, enhancing the structural strength of the bolt, and extending its service life; it facilitates disassembly and assembly, with the curved sides providing smoother contact when used with a socket wrench, making it easier to put on and take off the bolt; the curved structure greatly improves grip comfort; and it also helps to reduce weight.
