The top and bottom sides of the inner walls of the C-shaped plates can sequentially abut and contact the top and bottom of the mounting plate. However, this prior art has a relatively complex structure and high manufacturing and maintenance costs.
[0004] CN216029181U discloses a wheel hub bearing press-fitting device, relating to the field of wheel hub processing technology. This wheel hub bearing press-fitting device includes a platform, a fixing assembly, and a press-fitting mechanism.

However, this prior art is relatively large and complex in structure, making it inconvenient to carry and use in vehicles. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a wheel hub unit bearing press-fitting device, which has a simple structure, is easy to use and has strong versatility, and solves the problem of difficulty in installing wheel hub unit bearings outdoors in the prior art.
[0006] This utility model provides the following solution.
[0007] A hub unit bearing press-fitting device includes a bracket with a threaded hole in the middle. A threaded push rod is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole. A pressure block is limited and contacted at the lower end of the threaded push rod. A strip-shaped sliding groove is symmetrically arranged on the bracket on both sides of the threaded hole. A support rod is slidably connected in each of the two sliding grooves. A fastening nut is threadedly connected to the upper end of each support rod, and the lower end of the support rod is threaded.
[0008] Furthermore, the support rod has a boss in the middle, which can stop on the lower surface of the bracket, and the fastening nut at the upper end of the support rod can stop on the upper surface of the bracket.
[0009] The fastening nut and the boss can cooperate to lock the support rod on the slide.
[0010] Furthermore, the support rod includes a main rod, the lower end of which is detachably connected to a connector, the lower end of which is provided with an external thread; the fastening nut is threadedly connected to the upper end of the main rod, and the boss is located in the middle of the main rod.
[0011] The connector can be connected to the wheel hub unit half-shaft mounting threaded hole; the fastening nut and boss can cooperate to lock the main rod on the slide groove; the support rod is divided into two parts, and the connector of the support rod can be replaced to adapt to different models of wheel hub units, without having to replace the entire support rod, saving costs and making it easier to store and carry.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower end of the main rod is threadedly connected to the upper end of the connector.
[0013] Threaded connections provide pull-out resistance and are more robust.
[0014] Furthermore, the upper end of the threaded push rod is provided with a loading cap, and the lower end of the threaded push rod is provided with a pressing part. The pressing part has a conical structure, and the tip of the pressing part contacts the pressure block.
[0015] The top pressing part has a conical structure, which minimizes the contact area between the tip and the pressing block, thereby reducing the friction during rotation and making the threaded push rod easier to rotate.
[0016] Furthermore, the pressing block has a disc-shaped structure, with both the upper and lower surfaces being circular, and the diameter of the upper surface being larger than the diameter of the lower surface.
[0017] The diameter of the upper surface of the pressure block is larger than that of the lower surface, so that it can be inserted into the hub unit to press the bearing into place.
[0018] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided at the center of the upper surface of the pressure block, and the lower end of the threaded push rod can be limited and accommodated in the limiting groove; the bottom surface of the limiting groove has a funnel-shaped structure, and the tip of the pressing part of the threaded push rod is in pressure contact with the recessed end of the bottom surface of the limiting groove.
[0019] The lower end of the threaded push rod can be contained within the limiting groove. The bottom surface of the limiting groove has a funnel-shaped structure, which can prevent the top pressing part from sliding relative to the pressure block during the application of force, thus preventing the force direction from deviating, and also makes it easier to rotate.
[0020] Furthermore, the bracket has a straight-line structure, with two sliding grooves respectively located at both ends of the bracket, and both are U-shaped opening grooves.
[0021] The slide is open at one end, so when replacing the support rod or storing it, you only need to loosen the fastening nut. You can separate the support rod from the bracket without completely removing the fastening nut, which saves disassembly and assembly time.
[0022] Furthermore, the bracket has a straight-line structure, and the two sliding grooves have elongated hole structures.
[0023] The groove has a long, narrow hole structure, which prevents the support rod from easily sliding out of the groove. This makes it more convenient, safer, and less likely to be lost when connecting and disconnecting the support rod from the wheel hub unit.
[0024] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0025] This utility model provides a hub unit bearing press-fitting device that converts the rotational torque of the threaded push rod into downward pressure. The hub unit's own half-shaft mounting threaded hole serves as the mounting hole for the support rod. A fastening nut secures the support rod to the upper surface of the bracket. The support rod can slide within a groove in the bracket to adjust the spacing to accommodate different hub unit models. Pressure is evenly applied to the bearing using a pressure block to ensure smooth pressing into the hub unit without damage. This utility model features a simple structure, is easy to carry and use, and is highly versatile. It allows for the installation of hub unit bearings even when a press-fitting machine is unavailable, solving the problem of difficult outdoor installation of hub unit bearings due to the complex structure and inconvenient portability of existing technologies.

[0041] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a hub unit bearing press-fitting device, including a bracket 1. The bracket 1 has a straight structure. A threaded hole 11 is provided in the middle of the bracket 1. A threaded push rod 2 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole 11. The lower end of the threaded push rod 2 is limited to contact with a pressure block 3, which is used to press on the upper surface of the bearing to apply pressure to the bearing. The two ends of the bracket 1 are symmetrically provided with strip-shaped sliding grooves 12. Support rods 4 are slidably connected in the two sliding grooves 12 respectively. The upper end of the support rod 4 is threadedly connected with a fastening nut 5. The lower end of the support rod 4 is threaded for connection with the hub unit half shaft mounting threaded hole.
[0042] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, the upper end of the threaded push rod 2 is provided with a loading cap 21, which is a hexagonal prism structure used to cooperate with a wrench for rotational loading; the lower end of the threaded push rod 2 is provided with a pressing part 22, which is a conical structure with its tip pointing downwards and contacting the pressure block 3; the pressure block 3 is a disc-shaped structure, with both its upper and lower surfaces being circular. The diameter of the upper surface of the pressure block 3 is larger than the diameter of the lower surface but smaller than the diameter of the bearing mounting opening, so that it can be inserted into the hub unit to press the bearing into place; a limiting groove 31 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the pressure block 3, and the lower end of the threaded push rod 2 can be limited and accommodated in the limiting groove 31 to prevent the pressing part 22 from sliding relative to the pressure block 3 during the application of force, thus preventing the application of force. The force direction is offset; the bottom surface of the limiting groove 31 is a funnel-shaped structure, and the tip of the threaded push rod 2 pressing part 22 is in pressure contact with the concave end of the bottom surface of the limiting groove 31, which reduces the friction force generated when the threaded push rod 2 rotates and applies pressure; the middle part of the support rod 4 is provided with a boss 43, which can stop on the lower surface of the bracket 1, and the fastening nut 5 at the upper end of the support rod 4 can stop on the upper surface of the bracket 1. The fastening nut 5 and the boss 43 can cooperate with each other to lock the support rod 4 on the slide groove 12; the slide grooves 12 at both ends of the bracket 1 are open at opposite ends. When replacing or storing the support rod 4, it is only necessary to loosen the fastening nut 5. The support rod 4 can be separated from the bracket 1 without completely removing the fastening nut 5, which can save disassembly and assembly time.
[0043] In use, first install the support rod 4 into the slide groove 12, and then pass the threaded push rod 2 through the threaded hole 11 of the bracket 1 from top to bottom. Next, connect the lower ends of the two support rods 4 to the half-shaft mounting threaded holes at both ends of the bearing mounting port diameter of the hub unit. Place the bearing at the mounting port of the hub unit, and place the pressure block 3 on the upper surface of the bearing, making the circle of the pressure block 3 as close as possible to the center of the bearing. Adjust the position of the bracket 1 through the slide groove 12 so that the lower end of the threaded push rod 2 aligns with the limiting groove 31 of the pressure block 3. Rotate the fastening nut 5 to lock the support rod 4 to the bracket 1, and rotate the threaded push rod 2 so that the pressing part 22 inserts into the limiting groove 31 and contacts the bottom surface of the limiting groove 31. Use a wrench to rotate the threaded push rod 2 downwards, gradually pressing the bearing into the hub unit. After pressing, loosen the threaded push rod 2 and disassemble the device. Different specifications of support rods 4 and pressure blocks 3 can be replaced according to different models of hub units and bearings.
[0044] Example 2 is an improvement on Example 1 in terms of the structure of the support rod 4. This example provides a hub unit bearing press-fitting device, including a bracket 1, which is a straight-line structure. A threaded hole 11 is provided in the middle of the bracket 1, and a threaded push rod 2 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 11. The lower end of the threaded push rod 2 is limited to contact with a pressure block 3, which is used to press against the upper surface of the bearing to apply pressure to the bearing. The two ends of the bracket 1 are symmetrically provided with strip-shaped sliding grooves 12, and support rods 4 are slidably connected in the two sliding grooves 12 respectively. The upper end of the support rod 4 is threadedly connected to a fastening nut 5, and the lower end of the support rod 4 is threaded for connection with the hub unit half-shaft mounting threaded hole.
[0045] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the support rod 4 includes a main rod 41. The lower end of the main rod 41 is detachably connected to a connector 42 via a thread. The connector 42 can be connected to the half-shaft mounting threaded hole of the hub unit. The upper end of the main rod 41 is threadedly connected to a fastening nut 5. The middle part of the main rod 41 is provided with a boss 43. The boss 43 can stop on the lower surface of the bracket 1. The fastening nut 5 at the upper end of the main rod 41 can stop on the upper surface of the bracket 1. The fastening nut 5 and the boss 43 can cooperate with each other to lock the main rod 41 on the slide groove 12.
[0046] The wheel hub unit bearing press-fitting device provided in this embodiment can adapt to different models of wheel hub units by replacing the connector 42 of the support rod 4, without having to replace the entire support rod 4, which saves costs and makes it easier to store and carry.
[0047] Example 3: This example modifies the structure of the bracket 1 based on Example 1 or Example 2. This example provides a hub unit bearing press-fitting device, including a bracket 1. The bracket 1 has a straight-line structure. A threaded hole 11 is provided in the middle of the bracket 1. A threaded push rod 2 is threaded into the threaded hole 11. The lower end of the threaded push rod 2 is limited and contacts a pressure block 3, which is used to press against the upper surface of the bearing to apply pressure. A strip-shaped sliding groove 12 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center of the bracket 1. A support rod 4 is slidably connected to each of the two sliding grooves 12. A fastening nut 5 is threaded to the upper end of the support rod 4, and the lower end of the support rod 4 is threaded for connection with the hub unit half-shaft mounting threaded hole.
[0048] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the sliding grooves 12 on both sides of the center of the bracket 1 are elongated holes. When replacing or storing the support rod 4, the fastening nut 5 must be completely removed before the support rod 4 can be taken out from under the bracket 1 and separated from the bracket 1. The advantage of this structure is that the support rod 4 will not easily slide out of the sliding groove 12, and it is more convenient, safer and less likely to be lost when connecting and disassembling the support rod 4 with the hub unit.
