Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of model cars, specifically relating to a car and its wheels. Background Technology
[0002] Model cars come in a wide variety of types, with some being produced as scaled-down replicas of the original models. The structure of a model car typically involves assembling modules such as wheels, body panels, and drive units onto a frame (or base). Because different models have different structures and appearances, especially in terms of wheelbase, different frames are required.
[0003] Previously, the applicant's CN217612889U car model and its base changed the wheelbase by designing an adjustment plate and adjustment bolts on the base, altering the position of the adjustment plate relative to the base. This method of wheelbase adjustment required the user to purchase the entire chassis, increasing modification costs. To better meet the needs of the model car market, the applicant has proposed a new technical solution to change the wheelbase of the model car. Utility Model Content

[0037] Example 1
[0038] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a wheel that is used on a model car and is used in conjunction with the car frame. The wheel includes: a rim 10, which has multiple sets of positioning grooves 110 on its inner circumference, each set of positioning grooves 110 having a different groove length; and a hub 20, which has positioning blocks 210 on its outer circumference; the positioning blocks 210 are engaged in one of the positioning grooves 110 according to the wheel track requirements.
[0039] Specifically, the hub 20 and the rim 10 are assembled to form a wheel, and the hub 20 is provided with a mounting part for mounting and assembling with the vehicle frame. The inner circumference of the wheel hub 20 is provided with multiple sets of positioning grooves 110 with different groove lengths. For example, this embodiment has 4 sets of positioning grooves 110. According to the different groove lengths, the positioning grooves 110 are divided into small-size positioning grooves 1101, medium-size positioning grooves 1102, large-size positioning grooves 1103, and extra-large-size positioning grooves 1104. When the largest wheel track is required, the user selects the small-size positioning groove 1101 and the positioning block 210 is locked at the end of the small-size positioning groove 1101. At this time, after the wheel is assembled onto the frame, the distance between the two wheels is D1. When the smallest wheel track is required, the user selects the extra-large-size positioning groove 1104 and the positioning block 210 is locked at the end of the extra-large-size positioning groove 1104. At this time, after the wheel is assembled onto the frame, the distance between the two wheels is D2. Wherein, D1 > D2. In this embodiment, by fitting the positioning block 210 into positioning slots 110 of different sizes, the wheelbase can be changed without changing the frame.
[0040] This embodiment solves the problem of how to adjust the wheel track of the model, and the solution is simple, low in modification cost, and meets market demand. In addition, due to the separate design of the wheel hub 20 and the wheel rim 10, users can match wheel hubs 20 of other colors and wheel hubs 20 of other spoke shapes, increasing the modifiability and playability.
[0041] It should be noted that the positioning block 210 is engaged in the end of the positioning groove 110. The side of the wheel closer to the frame is defined as the near-frame side, and the side farther from the frame is defined as the far-frame side. The positioning groove 110 is grooved from the near-frame side to the far-frame side. In this embodiment, the end of the positioning groove 110 refers to the end of the positioning groove 110 closer to the far-frame side.
[0042] In this embodiment, the slot of the positioning groove 110 is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the rim 10, which facilitates the processing of the positioning groove 110 and makes it convenient for the positioning block 210 to be engaged in the positioning groove 110.
[0043] In this embodiment, the positioning groove 110 is provided with a slot 111, which is located at the opening 101 of the rim 10. The positioning block 210 can enter into the positioning groove 110 through the slot 111 or disengage from the positioning groove 110 through the slot 111. The slot 111 of the positioning groove 110 referred to here refers to the end of the positioning groove 110 near the frame side.
[0044] In this embodiment, each set of positioning grooves 110 includes three strip grooves, which are evenly distributed on the inner circumference of the rim 10; the number of positioning blocks 210 is correspondingly three, which are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the hub 20. In this embodiment, the hub 20 is connected to the rim 10 through the positioning blocks 210 and the positioning grooves 110. This embodiment, through the above-mentioned three-point connection method, can enhance the connection stability between the hub 20 and the rim 10.
[0045] In this embodiment, the width of the positioning block 210 is the same as the width of the positioning groove 110. Through the above method, the side of the positioning block 210 can be in close contact with the inner wall of the positioning groove 110, thus preventing the positioning block 210 from detaching from the positioning groove 110 when the model car is in motion.
[0046] To strengthen the connection between the positioning block 210 and the positioning groove 110, in this embodiment, the positioning block 210 and the positioning groove 110 are connected by an adhesive. Preferably, the adhesive is glue. Although the above method strengthens the connection, it also sacrifices the detachability of the positioning block 210 and the positioning groove 110, so users need to purchase new wheels when they need to change the wheel track.
[0047] For some large-diameter wheels, such as wheels with a diameter of 22mm, the positioning groove 110 can be provided on the inner circumference of the rim 10. For some small-diameter wheels, such as wheels with a diameter of 20mm, the positioning groove 110 is provided through the rim 10 from the inner circumference to the outer circumference, which makes reasonable use of the space of the rim 10 and facilitates the processing of the positioning groove 110.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] This embodiment provides a wheel, which includes: a wheel hub 20, which is provided with a positioning block 210; the positioning block 210 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the wheel hub 20; a wheel rim 10, which is provided with a positioning groove on its inner peripheral side; the length of the positioning groove in wheel hubs 20 of different specifications is different; according to the wheel track requirements, the positioning block 210 of the wheel hub 20 is engaged in the positioning groove of the wheel rim 10 of different specifications.
[0050] Specifically, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, in Embodiment 1, the wheel hub 20 is connected to one set of positioning grooves in the rim 10 according to the wheel track requirement, thus achieving adjustable wheel track, and the slot lengths of the positioning grooves in the rim 10 are all different. In contrast, in this embodiment, the wheel hub 20 is connected to positioning grooves in different rims 10 according to the wheel track requirement, thus achieving adjustable wheel track, and the slot lengths of the positioning grooves in the rim 10 are the same.
[0051] Example 3
[0052] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, which includes the wheels as described above, and further includes a frame connected to the wheels.
[0053] It should be noted that this application mainly protects the connection method between the wheel hub and the rim to achieve adjustable wheel track, without restricting the diameter, width, spoke style, or color of the wheel.
[0054] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
