Abstract

This utility model discloses a steel wheel structure, relating to the field of wheels, including a rim; a mounting ring, fixedly installed on one side of the inner ring of the rim; and spokes, with mounting rings extending outward from their edges. The spokes pass through the inner ring of the rim so that the mounting ring fits against the mounting ring, and the mounting ring and mounting ring are detachably installed together. By making the rim and spokes a detachable structure, this utility model allows the rim or spokes to be replaced separately when the wheel is damaged. Moreover, the rim and spokes are tightly installed together by the mounting ring and mounting ring, without changing the load-bearing capacity of the wheel, and the overall structure of the wheel remains unchanged, thus avoiding vehicle damage caused by stress concentration.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheels, and in particular to a steel wheel structure. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of a car, the wheel is a key structure for vehicle movement. A wheel consists of a wheel base, rim or hub, and spokes. The part of the wheel where the axle is mounted, commonly known as the rim or hub, is prone to accumulating dirt and impurities. If the hub is not cleaned for a long time, it may corrode and deform, potentially creating safety hazards. Therefore, users need to pay special attention to the maintenance of their wheel hubs.

[0003] Large heavy-duty trucks, in particular, operate in complex environments. For example, dump trucks operate in environments containing soil, gravel, and rocks. Especially under heavy loads, even minor impacts to the wheel rims, spokes, etc., can cause dents or cracks, affecting the vehicle's safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a steel wheel structure that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A steel wheel structure, including a rim;

[0007] The mounting ring is fixedly installed on one side of the inner ring of the wheel rim.

[0008] The spokes have mounting rings extending outwards from their edges;

[0009] The spokes pass through the inner ring of the rim to allow the mounting ring to fit against the mounting ring, and the mounting ring and mounting ring are detachably mounted together.

[0010] Preferably, both the mounting ring and the mounting collar have connecting holes for mounting bolts, thereby enabling the mounting ring and the mounting collar to be installed.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a support ring, which is fixedly installed together with the mounting ring, and the outer ring of the support ring is in close contact with the inner ring of the rim.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting holes are evenly distributed on the mounting ring and the mounting collar.

[0013] Preferably, the spokes are provided with evenly distributed heat dissipation holes.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention features a detachable rim and spokes structure, allowing for individual replacement of either the rim or spokes when the wheel is damaged. Furthermore, the rim and spokes are tightly connected by mounting rings and mounting collars, without altering the wheel's load-bearing capacity or overall structure, thus preventing wheel damage caused by stress concentration.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a steel wheel structure, including a rim 1 and a mounting ring 2, specifically as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting ring 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner ring of the rim 1. During the casting of the rim 1, the mounting ring 2 is integrally formed with the rim 1. The mounting ring 2 has evenly distributed mounting holes.

[0024] The spoke 3 has a mounting ring 4 extending outward from its edge, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the outermost diameter of the mounting ring 4 is the same as the inner diameter of the rim 1. The mounting ring 4 also has evenly distributed mounting holes.

[0025] like Figure 3As shown, when installing the spoke 3, the spoke 3 passes through the inner ring of the rim 1, and the mounting ring 4 fits together with the mounting ring 2 so that the mounting holes of the two are aligned. Then, the bolt is inserted into the mounting hole and the nut is tightened. The mounting ring 4 and the mounting ring 2 are fixed together, thus realizing the installation of the spoke 3 and the rim 1.

[0026] In this application, the outer wall of the mounting ring 4 contacts the inner wall of the rim 1, and the mounting ring 4 can withstand the weight of the vehicle on the rim, thus ensuring the stability of the bolt connection.

[0027] In this application, to facilitate the installation of the spokes 3, before installation, a metal strip needs to be inserted into one of the mounting holes of the mounting ring 2. When installing the mounting ring 4, the spokes 3 are aligned with the center of the rim 1, and one of the mounting holes of the mounting ring 4 is inserted into the metal strip, thus achieving the alignment and positioning of the mounting holes. Then, the spokes 3 are pushed into the inner ring of the rim 1 until the mounting ring 4 is tightly attached to the mounting ring 2, and the mounting bolts can be installed.

[0028] In this embodiment, the spokes 3 and rim 1 are bolted together, which ensures support for the weight of the entire vehicle while facilitating disassembly of the spokes 3 and rim 1. Especially for large trucks, due to the complex working environment, cracks may appear on the rim 1 and spokes 3. In this case, the rim 1 or spokes 3 can be replaced individually.

[0029] In a further embodiment, in order to improve the load-bearing effect, a support ring 5 is also fixedly installed on the outer ring of the support ring 4. The outer ring diameter of the support ring 5 is the same as the inner ring diameter of the rim 1. When the spoke 3 is installed inside the rim 1, the outer ring of the support ring 5 is in close contact with the inner ring of the rim 1. The support ring 5 supports the rim 1. The contact surface between the two is relatively large, and the load-bearing capacity is greater, which is suitable for vehicles with a large load.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications may be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
