Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle parts technology, and in particular to an integrated wheel balance structure with adjustable counterweight. Background Technology

[0002] The integrated wheel balancing structure is a key technological feature applied to wheels, designed to ensure dynamic balance during operation. By rationally distributing and adjusting the weight of different parts of the wheel, it reduces vibrations caused by uneven mass distribution, thereby improving driving stability and comfort. A well-designed integrated wheel balancing structure effectively avoids uneven centrifugal forces generated during wheel rotation, preventing problems such as vehicle vibration and deviation during driving. This not only reduces wear on vehicle components and extends their service life but also improves handling precision and enhances driving safety, providing users with a smoother and safer travel experience.

[0003] However, existing integrated wheel balancing structures still have significant shortcomings in practical use: Regarding weight adjustment, the weights of traditional integrated wheels are often fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual balance requirements of the wheel. This leads to wheel imbalance during riding, especially at high speeds or on rough roads, causing significant vibrations in the handlebars, pedals, or seat, severely affecting riding comfort and handling stability, and increasing safety hazards during cornering and emergency braking. During transportation, most existing integrated wheels lack dedicated auxiliary transport and fixing structures, requiring the rims to be directly fixed during transport. This method is highly susceptible to rim wear and deformation due to collisions during handling or stacking, affecting not only the wheel's appearance but also potentially damaging its performance and reducing its lifespan. Furthermore, repair and replacement costs are high, making it difficult to meet the safety and reliability requirements for transporting integrated wheels in practical applications.

[0004] In response to this technical problem, this application proposes an integrated wheel balancing structure with adjustable counterweight. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as difficulty in adjusting the counterweight and the lack of auxiliary structures during transportation, which lead to easy damage to the wheel rim and affect performance and lifespan. This invention proposes an adjustable counterweight integrated wheel balancing structure. This structure uses a fixed plate with positioning holes and a detachable counterweight block to flexibly adjust the wheel counterweight, solving the problem of riding vibration and improving handling safety. Simultaneously, by utilizing bolts, auxiliary rings, and locking components, along with padding for cushioning, the auxiliary ring is prioritized to withstand collisions during transportation, ensuring the safe and reliable transport of the integrated wheel.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable counterweight integrated wheel balancing structure includes a wheel rim, a solid connecting arm fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wheel rim, a hub disposed in the middle of the side of the solid connecting arm, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the inner side of the wheel rim, a mounting groove formed on the inner side of the fixing plate, a counterweight block detachably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove, multiple positioning holes formed on the front and rear sides of the fixing plate, the positioning holes being connected to the counterweight block through positioning components, multiple through slots formed on the front side of the solid connecting arm, a plug detachably connected to the inner wall of the through slot, an auxiliary ring one fixedly connected to the front side of the plug, an auxiliary ring two detachably connected to the outer front end of the plug, and a positioning ring connected to the rear end of the plug through a locking component.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning component includes a bolt, the outer side of which is detachably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the front side of the bolt, the rear end of the bolt passes through the positioning hole and the counterweight, and a lock nut is threadedly connected to the outer rear end of the bolt.

[0009] Furthermore, the engaging assembly includes a notch and a slot. The notch is formed at the outer rear end of the plug, and the slot is formed at the rear side of the positioning ring. The inner wall of the slot is detachably connected to the inner rear end of the notch.

[0010] Furthermore, an abutment ring is slidably connected to the front side of the slot, and a spring is provided on the rear side of the abutment ring, with the other end of the spring connected to the inner wall of the positioning ring.

[0011] Furthermore, a washer is detachably connected to the outer rear end of the bolt, and the rear side of the washer fits against the front side of the lock nut.

[0012] Furthermore, the front and rear ends of the plug are detachably connected to a second gasket, and the side of the second gasket is in contact with the solid connecting arm.

[0013] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the counterweight is T-shaped.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides: an integrated wheel balancing structure with adjustable counterweight, including a wheel rim 1, a solid connecting arm 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wheel rim 1, a hub 3 provided in the middle of the side of the solid connecting arm 2, a fixing plate 4 fixedly connected to the inner side of the wheel rim 1, an installation groove 5 opened on the inner side of the fixing plate 4, a counterweight block 7 detachably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 5, multiple positioning holes 6 opened on the front and rear sides of the fixing plate 4, the positioning holes 6 being connected to the counterweight block 7 through a positioning component, multiple through grooves 12 opened on the front side of the solid connecting arm 2, a plug 13 detachably connected to the inner wall of the through groove 12, an auxiliary ring 15 fixedly connected to the front side of the plug 13, an auxiliary ring 21 detachably connected to the outer front end of the plug 13, and a positioning ring 17 connected to the rear end of the plug 13 through a locking component;

[0025] Specifically, the hub 3 is fixed to the solid connecting arm 2 on the inner wall of the rim 1. The mounting groove 5 and multiple positioning holes 6 on the inner fixing plate 4 allow the counterweight 7 to be detachably installed via a positioning assembly consisting of bolts 9, connecting plate 8, lock nut 11, and washer 10. Due to the multiple positions of the positioning holes 6, the installation position or number of counterweights 7 can be changed according to the wheel balance requirements, thereby effectively adjusting the wheel weight distribution. This solves the problem of significant vibration in the handlebars, pedals, or seat during high-speed riding or on rough roads caused by wheel imbalance, reducing vibration amplitude for a smoother ride. It also makes the bicycle steering more precise and reduces handling deviations caused by wheel wobbling, especially improving safety during cornering or emergency braking.

[0026] Reference Figures 2-4 The positioning assembly includes a bolt 9, the outer side of which is detachably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole 6. A connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the front side of the bolt 9. The rear end of the bolt 9 passes through the positioning hole 6 and the counterweight 7. A locking nut 11 is threadedly connected to the outer rear end of the bolt 9. The engaging assembly includes a notch 14 and a slot 20. The notch 14 is located at the outer rear end of the plug 13. The slot 20 is located at the rear side of the positioning ring 17. The inner wall of the slot 20 is detachably connected to the inner rear end of the notch 14. An abutment ring 18 is slidably connected to the front side of the slot 20. A spring 19 is provided at the rear side of the abutment ring 18. The other end of the spring 19 is connected to the inner wall of the positioning ring 17. A washer 10 is detachably connected to the outer rear end of the bolt 9. The rear side of the washer 10 is in contact with the front side of the locking nut 11. A washer 26 is detachably connected to both the front and rear ends of the plug 13. The side of the washer 26 is in contact with the solid connecting arm 2. The counterweight 7 has a T-shaped cross-section.

[0027] Specifically, the transport and fixing structure consisting of the through groove 12, the plug 13, the auxiliary ring 15, the auxiliary ring 21, the positioning ring 17, the engaging assembly (notch 14, slot 20), the abutment ring 18, the spring 19, and the gasket 16 on the front side of the solid connecting arm 2 is as follows: During transport, the gasket 16 is first placed on the front and rear ends of the plug 13, then the plug 13 is passed through the through groove 12 and installed by aligning the plug 13 with the slot on the auxiliary ring 21. The positioning ring 17 is then put on and rotated 90 degrees so that the slot 20 is aligned with the notch 14. The spring (19) and the gasket 16 are then engaged. The inner walls of the abutment ring (18) and the positioning ring (17) are fixedly connected at both ends respectively. At this time, the abutment ring 18 abuts against the surface of the auxiliary ring 21 under the action of the spring 19, and the slot 20 and the notch 14 are tightly engaged to fix the wheel body. During the process, the second shim 16 acts as a buffer layer. The first auxiliary ring 15 and the second auxiliary ring 21 can bear the damage first when multiple integrated wheels collide with each other during transportation, avoiding the direct collision of the wheel rim 1 and causing wear and deformation. This makes up for the defect that the existing integrated wheel transportation lacks an auxiliary structure and needs to directly fix the wheel rim, which leads to easy damage.

[0028] Working principle: When using this structure, first align the counterweight 7 with the mounting slot 5 of the fixing plate 4 and insert it, so that the bolt 9 passes through the positioning hole 6 and the counterweight 7. After putting on the first shim 10, tighten it with the lock nut 11. The installation position of the counterweight 7 can be adjusted or the number can be increased through the multiple positioning holes 6 on the front and rear sides of the fixing plate 4 to balance the wheel. During transportation, put the second shim 16 on the front and rear ends of the outer side of the plug 13, put the plug 13 through the through slot 12 of the solid connecting arm 2, align the slot of the second auxiliary ring 21 with the plug 13 and install it. Put on the positioning ring 17 and rotate it 90 degrees so that the slot 20 engages with the notch 14 at the rear end of the plug 13. At this time, the abutment ring 18 presses against the second auxiliary ring 21 under the action of the spring 19. The collision is borne by the first auxiliary ring 15 and the second auxiliary ring 21, and the second shim 16 is used for buffering to fix the wheel body and avoid damage to the wheel rim 1. The auxiliary ring can be replaced separately to reduce costs.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
