Figures 1 to 6 As shown: A size-adjustable bicycle hub, comprising: hub shaft 1; A rolling bearing 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hub shaft 1; Spoke disc 3 is fixedly connected to the concave surface of rolling bearing 2; And an operating component 5 fixedly connected between the two spoke discs 3; the operating component 5 includes an adjustment part 51 fixedly connected between the two spoke discs 3, and the adjustment part 51 is connected to a fixing part 52.

[0019] The adjustment unit 51 includes a hub sub-shaft 512 fixedly connected to the side of the spoke disc 3. An adjustment groove 513 is provided on the side of the hub sub-shaft 512. An adjustment rod 511 is inserted into the inner surface of the adjustment groove 513. A hub main shaft 517 is fixedly connected to the convex end face of the adjustment rod 511. A fixing groove 514 is provided on the top of the adjustment rod 511. An adjustment groove 515 is provided on the outer wall of the hub sub-shaft 512. An installation groove 516 is provided on the outer wall of the side end of the hub main shaft 517.

[0020] In this embodiment, the diameter of the fixing groove 514 is the same as the diameter of the adjusting groove 515 and the diameter of the mounting groove 516, so that the fixing rod 526 can smoothly pass through the mounting groove 516 and the adjusting groove 515 in sequence and be engaged in the fixing groove 514, which reduces the difficulty of installation and adjustment.

[0021] Furthermore, the two sides of the hub spindle 517 are respectively in contact with the inner sides of the two spoke discs 3, which facilitates the sliding of the hub spindle 517 on the outer wall of the hub sub-shaft 512, thereby adjusting the size of the hub.

[0022] Furthermore, the inner surface of the hub main shaft 517 is configured to slide and be sleeved with the outer walls of the two hub sub-shafts 512 respectively.

[0023] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the present invention provides a size-adjustable bicycle hub, such as... Figures 1 to 6As shown: The fixing part 52 includes a support block 521 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hub spindle 517. The top of the support block 521 has a groove, and an L-shaped rod 522 is inserted into the inner surface of the groove. A connecting block 525 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal end of the L-shaped rod 522. A fixing rod 526 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 525. An installation block 523 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the vertical end of the support block 521. A clamp metal piece 527 is fixedly connected to the side of the installation block 523 away from the support block 521. The inner surface of the clamp metal piece 527 is clamped to the outer wall of the fixing rod 526. A fixing spring 524 is fixedly connected to the top of the installation block 523. The end of the fixing spring 524 away from the installation block 523 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal end of the L-shaped rod 522.

[0024] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the vertical end of the L-shaped rod 522 and the inner surface of the groove of the support block 521 are configured to slide into each other, so that the L-shaped rod 522 can slide flexibly in the groove of the support block 521, thereby controlling the engagement and disengagement of the fixing rod 526 and the fixing groove 514.

[0025] Furthermore, the bottom end of the fixing rod 526 moves through the inner surfaces of the mounting groove 516 and the second adjustment groove 515 in sequence, and is engaged with the inner surface of the fixing groove 514. This effectively prevents the adjusting rod 511 from sliding in the second adjustment groove 515 of the hub subshaft 512, and stabilizes the adjusting rod 512 in the set position, so that the hub size remains stable during use.

[0026] In actual operation, when this device is used, the adjusting rod 511 can slide in the adjusting groove 513 on the side of the hub sub-shaft 512, which can change the distance between the hub sub-shafts 512. At the same time, the adjusting rod 511 drives the hub main shaft 517 to slide on the outer wall of the two hub sub-shafts 512, thereby realizing the adjustment of the overall size of the hub. This allows the bicycle hub to adapt to different frame sizes or user needs, improving the product's adaptability.

[0027] After adjusting the hub size, the fixing rod 526 is inserted into the fixing groove 514 at the top of the adjusting rod 511 to prevent the adjusting rod 511 from slipping during use, ensuring the stability of the hub size and improving the safety and reliability of the bicycle. By pulling up the L-shaped rod 522, the fixing spring 524 is compressed, causing the fixing rod 526 to disengage from the fixing groove 514, allowing the adjusting rod 511 to be slidably adjusted again. At the same time, the elastic force of the fixing spring 524 provides continuous elastic pressure to the fixing rod 526, ensuring that the fixing rod 526 can be tightly engaged in the fixing groove 514 to prevent loosening. The clamp metal piece 527 is engaged with the outer wall of the fixing rod 526, providing a certain buffering and protection function, as well as improving the stability of the fixing rod 526.
