Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wheel hub unit technology, specifically an automotive wheel hub unit with a high-performance outer dust-proof ring. Background Technology
[0002] The wheel hub unit is the core component connecting the wheel and the axle. Its main functions include bearing weight, guiding rotation, and bearing axial and radial loads.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN210050206U discloses an automotive wheel hub unit with a combined magnetic sealing ring, including a flange, a steel ball, an inner ring, and an outer ring. A sealing ring is provided in the gap between the inner ring and the outer ring. The sealing ring includes a first sealing ring attached to the outer ring and a second sealing ring attached to the inner ring. The second sealing ring is provided with a magnetic ring for providing ABS signals. The first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are positioned by elastic support. The outer end face of the magnetic ring is flush with the end face of the inner ring and / or the outer ring or inward of the end face of the inner ring and / or the outer ring by a certain distance. This structure allows for the installation of a magnetic ring between the inner and outer rings while simultaneously installing the sealing ring. Furthermore, the end faces of the inner and / or outer rings protect the magnetic ring, preventing it from colliding and failing during the wheel hub unit's manufacturing process. Traditional automotive wheel hub units require regular lubrication and maintenance, and the sealing efficiency of their sealing rings needs to be tested. However, the contact between the inner and outer ring housings on the sealing ring surface makes it highly susceptible to wear during use, leading to a reduction in sealing effectiveness. Therefore, an automotive wheel hub unit with a high-performance outer sealing ring is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
