[0002] A wheel rim is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire and is mounted on an axle. It is also called a wheel rim, steel rim, wheel, or tire rim. Wheel rims come in many varieties depending on their diameter, width, molding method, and materials.

[0003] For example, a wheel hub cooling device with publication number CN222132513U includes a frame. A water mist nozzle is mounted on the frame corresponding to the wheel hub after the painting line. The water mist nozzle is connected to a water source and an air source through a water pipe and an air pipe, respectively, to supply cooling water and high-pressure air to the water mist nozzle, so that the water mist nozzle can spray atomized water to cool down the high-temperature wheel hub.

[0004] However, during the cooling process, the aforementioned cooling device requires continuous water spraying, resulting in excessive moisture on the wheel hub surface that drips onto the ground, causing water waste and is not environmentally friendly. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a wheel hub cooling device that can collect and reuse excess water after cooling the wheel hub, making the cooling device more environmentally friendly.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a wheel hub cooling and temperature reduction device, including a water sprinkler frame, a mounting platform fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water sprinkler frame, a plurality of water collection chambers opened in the mounting platform, a plurality of through holes communicating with the water collection chambers opened on the surface of the mounting platform, a plurality of nozzles provided on the water sprinkler frame, a conveying pipe provided inside the water sprinkler frame, one end of the conveying pipe extending into the water collection chamber, and a plurality of branch pipes connected to the nozzles connected to the conveying pipe.

[0007] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: the bottom surface of the water collection cavity is provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface slopes from the end away from the conveying pipe to the end closer to the conveying pipe.

[0008] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is that a water pump connected to a delivery pipe is provided at the top of the sprinkler frame.

[0009] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the sprinkler frame is fixedly connected to several mounting plates below the spray head, and several fans are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each mounting plate.

[0010] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is that the mounting plate is a mesh plate.

[0011] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is that the number of the mounting plate and the water collection cavity is not less than 2.

[0012] A further preferred embodiment of this invention is that a filter screen is slidably connected inside the water collection cavity.

[0013] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: an opening communicating with the water collection cavity is provided on the side wall of the mounting platform, and the filter screen slides through the opening when the filter screen is slidable.

[0014] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: two protruding strips are fixedly connected inside the water collection cavity, and the filter screen is placed on the protruding strips.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model includes a sprinkler frame with a mounting platform fixedly connected to its bottom. The mounting platform has several water collection chambers, and its surface has several through holes communicating with the water collection chambers. The sprinkler frame is equipped with several nozzles, and a delivery pipe is installed inside the frame. One end of the delivery pipe extends into the water collection chamber, and several branch pipes connected to the nozzles are connected to the delivery pipe. Therefore, when cooling the wheel hub, the nozzles spray water onto the wheel hub surface for cooling, while excess water falls onto the mounting platform due to gravity and enters the water collection chamber through the through holes for collection. This facilitates extraction and recycling by the delivery pipe. This design effectively avoids excessive waste of water resources, improves water resource utilization, and makes the cooling device more environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0024] Figures 1-4 As shown, a wheel hub cooling device includes a water spray frame 2, with a mounting platform 1 fixedly connected to the bottom of the water spray frame 2. The mounting platform 1 has several water collection chambers 11, and several through holes 6 communicating with the water collection chambers 11 are opened on the surface of the mounting platform 1. Several nozzles 3 are provided on the water spray frame 2, and a conveying pipe 10 is provided inside the water spray frame 2. One end of the conveying pipe 10 extends into the water collection chamber 11, and several branch pipes 9 connected to the nozzles 3 are connected to the conveying pipe 10. A water pump 4 connected to the conveying pipe 10 is provided at the top of the water spray frame 2.

[0025] Figures 1-4 As shown, when cooling the wheel hub, the water pump 4 draws water from the water collection chamber 11 through the delivery pipe 10 to the nozzle 3, and sprays it onto the surface of the wheel hub to cool it down. Excess water falls back onto the mounting platform 1 due to gravity and enters the water collection chamber 11 through the through hole 6 for collection, which facilitates subsequent recycling. This design enables water resources to be recycled, thereby reducing water waste and improving the environmental friendliness of the cooling device.

[0026] Figures 1-4 As shown, the bottom surface of the water collection chamber 11 is provided with an inclined surface 12. The inclined surface 12 slopes from the end away from the delivery pipe 10 to the end close to the delivery pipe 10. This design can guide the water in the water collection chamber 11 to the water delivery pipe, thereby facilitating subsequent extraction and use.

[0027] Figures 1-4 As shown, the sprinkler frame 2 is fixedly connected to several mounting plates 5 below the nozzle 3. The mounting plates 5 are mesh plates, which facilitate the water sprayed from the nozzle 3 to fall onto the surface of the wheel hub. Several fans 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each mounting plate 5.

[0028] Figures 1-4As shown, when cooling down, the water sprayed by the nozzle 3 starts the fan 7. At this time, the fan 7 can accelerate the heat dissipation of the wheel hub, thereby improving the cooling speed and efficiency.

[0029] Figures 1-4 As shown, the number of mounting plates 5 and water collection chambers 11 is not less than 2. By setting multiple mounting plates 5, the cooling effect can be improved, while multiple water collection chambers 11 can increase the water collection volume.

[0030] Figures 1-4 As shown, a filter screen 8 is slidably connected inside the water collection chamber 11. Therefore, when water that has been in contact with the hub re-enters the water collection chamber 11, it first passes through the filter screen 8. At this time, the filter screen 8 can filter out impurities in the water, thereby preventing impurities from clogging the delivery pipe 10 and the nozzle 3 and affecting subsequent cooling. This design ensures that there are no solid impurities in the water.

[0031] Figures 1-4 As shown, the side wall of the mounting platform 1 has an opening that communicates with the water collection chamber 11. When the filter screen 8 is slidable, the filter screen 8 slides through the opening, and the filter screen 8 can be removed through the opening, which makes it easy to clean the filter screen 8. At the same time, the opening makes it easy to replace the water in the water collection chamber 11.

[0032] Figures 1-4 As shown, two protruding strips 13 are fixedly connected inside the water collection cavity 11. The filter screen 8 is placed on the protruding strips 13. The protruding strips 13 play a role in limiting the height of the filter screen 8 inside the water collection cavity 11, so as to prevent the filter screen 8 from shifting in height when sliding.

[0033] The present invention provides a wheel hub cooling and temperature reduction device. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of the present invention. The descriptions of the embodiments are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
