[0002] In recent years, as cycling has become more competitive and multifunctional, traditional spokes have gradually revealed the following technical bottlenecks under extreme conditions: Existing bicycles use a single carbon fiber reinforced structure, which achieves lightweighting, but is prone to interlaminar delamination failure under impact loads. Experimental data shows that its lateral impact strength is less than 20 kJ / m², making it difficult to meet the requirements of complex road conditions such as mountain bikes. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a novel high-strength spoke, comprising: a pressure-resistant core layer, a titanium alloy honeycomb layer on the outside of the pressure-resistant core layer, a carbon fiber braided layer on the outside of the titanium alloy honeycomb layer, and transversely tightly arranged figure-eight reinforcing strips inside the carbon fiber braided layer; a nano-ceramic transition layer on the outside of the carbon fiber braided layer, and a rigid protective layer on the outside of the nano-ceramic transition layer.

[0005] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the height of the above-mentioned pressure-resistant core layer is 30%-40% of the total height.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the porosity of the titanium alloy honeycomb layer is between 30% and 50%.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the above-mentioned rigid protective layer is 5-8 μm.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0009] 1) The special porous structure of the titanium alloy honeycomb layer can quickly absorb impact energy when subjected to external impact; by setting figure-eight reinforcing strips in the carbon fiber braided layer to form a closed stress ring, the resistance to lateral bending is improved, and the overall strength and compressive strength of the spokes are enhanced.

[0018] Furthermore, a carbon fiber braided layer 30 is provided on the outside of the titanium alloy honeycomb layer 20, and a transversely closely arranged figure-eight reinforcing strip 40 is provided in the carbon fiber braided layer 30. The figure-eight reinforcing strip 40 forms a closed stress ring, which improves the resistance to lateral bending and increases the strength.
