Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a buckle mechanism for a flower drum. Background Technology
[0002] As a core transmission component of the bicycle freewheel system, the freehub's structural strength, wear resistance, and assembly stability directly affect transmission efficiency and lifespan. Traditional freehubs typically consist of a freehub body, a connector, and connecting structures. For example, Chinese patent CN202320660793.4 discloses a freehub reinforcement structure that reduces wear on the freehub key by adding a reinforcing hoop between the freehub body and the connector, utilizing high-hardness reinforcing ribs. However, existing technologies still have the following drawbacks: the freehub key and reinforcing ribs are only planarly attached, making them prone to lateral displacement under high torque loads, leading to accelerated keyway wear. Furthermore, existing reinforcing ribs are mostly solid structures, significantly increasing weight and affecting high-speed riding efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a buckle mechanism for a flower drum, which can effectively solve the above problems.
[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A hub buckle mechanism, including
[0006] The basic structure of the tower;
[0007] Springs are provided at the ends of the tower base;
[0008] The base keys are distributed non-equidistantly on the outer periphery of the base body, forming grooves on the base keys;
[0009] The hoop body, the reinforcing hoop set on the hoop body, and the snap-fit structure set on the reinforcing hoop, wherein the snap-fit structure snaps with the tower base key to enhance the radial support of the tower base key.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] (1) The springs set at the ends of the tower base provide a stable axial preload, ensuring the tightness of the initial assembly of the mechanism; the non-equidistant tower base key and its groove design effectively destroy the resonance frequency, significantly reducing vibration and noise during high-speed operation; the reinforcing hoop and its snap-fit structure on the hoop body greatly enhance the radial support strength of the tower base key through precise snap-fit with the tower base key, effectively dispersing the load transmitted by the flywheel; the split design of the hoop body, combined with the adjustable micro-set screw, realizes the self-compensation function of wear gap, extending the maintenance cycle; at the same time, the honeycomb weight reduction structure inside the reinforcing hoop achieves a significant weight reduction effect while ensuring sufficient strength; the entire mechanism can be quickly disassembled and assembled without the use of special tools through the synergistic effect of mechanical interlocking and elastic buffering, greatly improving the convenience of use, while ensuring stability and durability under high load conditions.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-6 As shown, a buckle mechanism for a hub includes...
[0028] Tower base 10;
[0029] Spring 20 is located at the end of the tower body 10. Spring 20 is a stainless steel wave spring with a pre-compression of 2mm, providing an axial preload of 50-80N to ensure that the hoop 80 and the outer ring 70 fit tightly during initial assembly.
[0030] The base keys 30 are distributed non-equidistantly on the outer periphery of the base body 10, forming grooves 300 on the base keys 30; the base keys 30 are asymmetrically distributed at 110°-120°-130°, and the spacing between adjacent base keys 30 has a tolerance of ±2°, which can disrupt the resonant frequency and reduce vibration noise during high-speed riding.
[0031] The hoop 80 includes a reinforcing hoop 800 mounted on it, and a snap-fit structure mounted on the reinforcing hoop 800. The snap-fit structure snaps into the base key 30 to enhance the radial support of the base key 30. The hoop 80 is a split structure, including at least two symmetrical semi-rings, with the hoop diameter adjusted between the semi-rings by micro-set screws. The snap-fit structure includes symmetrically arranged elastic hooks 806, which have: an arc-shaped portion 8060 for guiding the hook into the groove 300; and a parallel portion 8062 for fitting and limiting against the side wall of the groove 300.
[0032] The tower body 10 is also provided with an outer ring 70 at its end, and an installation slot 90 is formed on the outer ring 70. One end of the reinforcing hoop 800 is provided with a snap-fit end 802. The snap-fit end 802 is movable (similar to a joint structure), so it can pass smoothly through the installation slot (90).
[0033] An annular insertion portion 40 is provided at the end of the tower body 10 and inside the outer ring 70, and an annular groove 50 is formed at the end of the tower body 10 and outside the annular insertion portion 40.
[0034] A nylon elastic ring 60 is embedded inside the annular groove 50 to buffer axial vibration.
[0035] The interior of the reinforcing hoop 800 has a honeycomb-shaped weight-reducing cavity 110.
[0036] The ratio of the thickness of the base key 30 to the thickness of the parallel portion 8062 of the elastic hook 806 is 1:1.2-1.5.
[0037] Working principle: When the tower base 10 is assembled with the outer ring 70 through the annular insertion part 40 at its end, the spring 20 set at the end of the tower base 10 provides preload force. At the same time, the hoop 80 adjusts the hoop diameter through its split structure with micro-set screws, so that the arc-shaped part 8060 of the elastic hook 806 on the reinforcing hoop 800 is guided into the groove 300 of the tower base key 30 with non-equidistant distribution of 110°-120°-130°. The parallel part 8062 fits tightly with the side wall of the groove 300 to form radial support. The nylon elastic ring 60 embedded in the annular groove 50 absorbs axial vibration, while the honeycomb weight reduction cavity 110 inside the reinforcing hoop 800 achieves weight reduction while ensuring structural strength. Finally, the optimized stress transfer is achieved by matching the thickness of the tower base key 30 and the elastic hook 806 at a ratio of 1:1.2-1.5, thus completing the stable locking and vibration suppression of the entire buckling mechanism.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
