Description

Wheel assembly {WHEEL ASSEMBLY}

The present invention relates to a wheel assembly, and to a wheel assembly capable of minimizing noise generated from a tire.

In general, a tire is a very essential element in a vehicle. The tire is mounted on the rim that is connected to the vehicle. The tire is arranged to surround the outer peripheral surface of the rim. Air is filled between the tire and the rim. That is, the vehicle can be elastically supported by the tire.

When the vehicle runs, the side wall of the tire vibrates due to excitation of the tire by the road surface, and resonance occurs in the inner space of the tire by the vibration of the side wall. This resonance generates a resonant sound in a specific frequency band.

The resonance sound is transmitted to the vehicle body through the chassis of the vehicle, and finally to the indoor passengers, thereby reducing the marketability of the vehicle.

In order to solve this problem, an aluminum wheel for a vehicle with a resonance tube of Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1822271 has been disclosed. Although the specific frequency generating the resonance sound varies depending on the vehicle speed, that is, the rotational speed of the wheel, the temperature of the rim, or the temperature of the inside of the tire, the aluminum wheel for a vehicle equipped with such a resonance tube reduces only the resonance sound in a certain range of frequencies.

The accompanying drawings are only illustratively selected to specifically describe the present invention from among various embodiments.

In order to aid understanding of the invention, each component and its shape are drawn in a simplified or exaggerated manner in the drawings, and components in an actual product are not represented and omitted. Therefore, the drawings should be interpreted to aid understanding of the invention. Meanwhile, elements that play the same role in the drawings are indicated by the same reference numerals.

Throughout the specification, when a part "includes" a certain component, it means that other components may be further included rather than excluding other components unless otherwise stated.

In the present specification, terms such as first, second, and third may be used to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by the terms. The terms are used for the purpose of distinguishing one component from other components. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, a first component may be referred to as a second or third component, and similarly, a second or third component may be alternately named.

Hereinafter, a wheel assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a perspective view showing a wheel assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II′ of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a core assembly 200 shown in FIG. Is a perspective view showing an embodiment of.

1 to 3, a wheel assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rim 100 defined by a side wall 110 and a core assembly 200 disposed inside the side wall 110. ) Can be included. Here, the core assembly 200 may include at least one hollow core 210.

The rim 100. The rim is defined by the side wall 110 extending in the circumferential direction. The side wall 110 may include a flange 111, a bead sheet 113, and a rim well 115. Flanges 111 are disposed at both ends of the rim 100 to determine the rim width (W). The bead sheet 113 extends from the flange 111 in the rim width (W) direction. The rim well 115 may be disposed between the bead sheets 113. The rim well 115 extends from the bead sheet 113 and enters concavely toward the central axis of the rim 100. Meanwhile, the hub 119 may be disposed on the central axis of the rim 100. The hub 119 may be connected to the rim 100 by spokes 117. In addition, the rim 100 may have an air injection hole 116 for injecting air into the inside of a tire (not shown). The air injection hole 116 may be disposed between the hollow cores 210 to be described later. Here, the air injection hole 116 passes through the side wall 110.

The tire (not shown) is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the rim 100. For example, the tire is fitted between the flanges 111 disposed at both ends of the rim 100. In particular, at least a portion of the tire is in contact with the bead sheet 113. That is, the bead sheet 113 may contact the tire to support the tire. When the tire is too small compared to the rim 100, the tire or the rim 100 is liable to be damaged by an obstacle on the road. In contrast, if the tire is too large compared to the rim 100, one side of the tire may be in contact with the brake or the like. In this case, a sudden puncture may occur in the tire. In other words, the vehicle is in danger of losing its steering ability. Therefore, an appropriate tire must be selected according to the size of the rim 100.

Tires may generate noise while the vehicle is running. Noise caused by tires may include squeal noise, elasticity noise, beat noise, road noise, sump noise, and harshness. have. Squill noise is a noise generated by repeated slipping of tire tread and road surface due to sudden start, sudden braking, and sudden turn of a vehicle on a dry road surface.

The elastic noise is generated by the resonance of the tire noise and the natural frequency of the road surface. Beat noise is a ringing phenomenon caused by interference between tire noise and engine noise. Road noise is the noise generated by the elastic vibration of the tire according to the unevenness of the gravel road or road surface. Sump noise is an intermittent noise caused by local non-uniformity in the tire. Pattern noise is the noise caused by the compression and discharge of air generated in the tire pattern groove by repeated contact and deformation of the road surface and the tire tread.

In order to minimize the noise caused by the above-described tires, research and development on tires, suspension systems, and vehicle bodies are being actively conducted. The wheel assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a core assembly 200 including at least one hollow core 210 to eliminate noise caused by a tire.

The hollow core 210 has an inner hollow of a certain size. One end of the hollow core 210 is blocked and the other end is opened. Accordingly, the hollow of the hollow core 210 is not exposed at one end of the hollow core 210. In addition, the hollow of the hollow core 210 is exposed to the outer surface of the side wall 110 through the other end of the hollow core 210. Noise generated by the tire may flow into the hollow core 210 through the other end of the hollow core 210. Noise has a certain amount of energy. Meanwhile, air (or filler) existing inside the hollow core 210 may function as a spring. That is, noise introduced into the hollow core 210 may be resonated by air (or a filler). Due to the generation of resonance, air and noise can very quickly enter and exit the hollow core 210. The energy of noise is converted into heat energy by friction generated at this time. Thereby, noise generated by the tire can be eliminated.

1 to 3, the core assembly 200 may be disposed inside the sidewall 110 of the rim 100. The core assembly 200 may include at least one hollow core 210. Here, the hollow core 210 may include a core tube 211 having an arc shape and bent portions 213 disposed at both ends of the core tube 211.

At least one hollow core 210 may be disposed in the circumferential direction inside the side wall 110. The hollow core 210 has a hollow penetrating therein. That is, the hollow core 210 has a pipe or tube shape. The core tube 211 may be disposed in a circumferential direction with respect to the central axis of the rim 100. Both ends of the hollow core 210 may be bent toward the outer surface of the side wall 110. That is, the hollow core 210 has bent portions 213 disposed at both ends of the core tube 211. One of the bent portions 213 may be opened toward the outer surface of the side wall 110 and the other may be shielded. That is, any one of the bent portions 213 may be exposed on the outer surface of the side wall 110. Meanwhile, the side wall 110 is fused to the outer peripheral surface of the hollow core 210.

The hollow core 210 may have different noise removal efficiency depending on the size of the hollow inside. Specifically, noise removal efficiency may vary depending on the internal volume of the hollow core 210. In addition, noise removal efficiency may vary depending on the size of the hollow 212 of the bent portion 213 connected to the inner hollow 212 of the core tube 211.

Noise generated inside a tire according to vehicle driving may have a specific peak frequency. For example, the noise caused by the tire may include a first peak frequency according to vibration in a first direction (front and rear direction) and a second peak frequency according to vibration in a second direction (up and down direction). The first peak frequency and the second peak frequency may vary according to the speed of the vehicle. When the vehicle speed is increased, the first peak frequency tends to decrease and the second peak frequency tends to increase.

That is, the first and second peak frequencies are changed according to the low speed traveling on the general road and the high speed traveling on the highway. Therefore, when the hollow core 210 is designed to attenuate the first peak frequency generated during low speed driving, it is effective in removing noise generated during low speed driving. In contrast, if the hollow core 210 is designed to attenuate the second peak frequency generated during high-speed driving, it is effective in removing noise generated during high-speed driving. However, the vehicle repeatedly travels at low or high speed. Therefore, it is important to design the hollow core 210 to remove noise that varies depending on the vehicle speed and other causes. The core assembly 200 according to the present invention may propose a method capable of removing noise having various frequencies.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the core assembly 200 shown in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a plan view of the core assembly 200 shown in FIG. 4.

2, 4, and 5, the core assembly 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a hollow core 210. Here, the hollow core 210 may include a first hollow core 210a and a second hollow core 210b. The first hollow core 210a may include a core tube 211 and a bent portion 213. In addition, the second hollow core 210b may include a core tube 211 and a bent portion 213.

The bent portions 213 of each of the first hollow core 210a and the second hollow core 210b extend toward the outer surface of the side wall 110 as shown in FIG. 2. As an example, the bent part 213 may extend toward one direction crossing the circumferential direction. Meanwhile, the bent portion 213 may include a first bent portion 214 and a second bent portion 216. Here, the first bent portion 214 and the second bent portion 216 may have different inner diameters.

The first bent portion 214 may extend from the core tube 211 in one direction crossing the circumferential direction. In addition, the second bent portion 216 extends from the first bent portion 214. In particular, the second bent portion 216 may be bent from the first bent portion 214 toward the radial direction of the circumference. Accordingly, the second bent portion 216 has a constant angle on the vertical plane with respect to the first bent portion 214.

The first hollow core 210a and the second hollow core 210b may be disposed on the same circumference. The bent portion 213 of the first hollow core 210a and the bent portion 213 of the second hollow core 210b may be spaced apart from each other. That is, the first hollow core 210a and the second hollow core 210b may be spaced apart from each other. Unlike this, the first hollow core 210a and the second hollow core 210b may at least partially contact each other. Specifically, the bent portion 213 of the first hollow core 210a and the bent portion 213 of the second hollow core 210b may at least partially contact each other.

Meanwhile, the bent portion 213 disposed at one end of the first hollow core 210a may be spaced apart from the bent portion 213 disposed at one end of the second hollow core 210b by a first distance d1. In addition, the bent portion 213 disposed at the other end of the first hollow core 210a may be spaced apart from the bent portion 213 disposed at the other end of the second hollow core 210b by a second distance d2. Here, the first interval d1 is larger than the second interval d2. The air injection hole 116 in the side wall 110 between the bent portion 213 of the first hollow core 210a and the bent portion 213 of the second hollow core 210b spaced apart by a first interval d1 ) Is to be formed. An air valve (not shown) may be inserted into the air injection hole 116. Air may be supplied to the inside of a tire (not shown) surrounding the outer circumferential surface of the rim 100 through an air valve (not shown).

The bent portion 213 of the first hollow core 210a is disposed substantially parallel to the bent portion 213 of the second hollow core 210b. That is, the bent portions 213 disposed to face each other are substantially parallel. The core assembly 200 is manufactured by installing the first hollow core 210a and the second hollow core 210b in a mold and injecting molten metal (melted metal). Therefore, it is easy to separate the core assembly 200 from the mold when the bent portions 213 facing each other are arranged substantially in parallel.

6 and 7 are views showing another embodiment of the core assembly 200 shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 8 is a view showing another embodiment of the wheel assembly 10 shown in FIG. 2.

Specifically, the bent portions 213 of the first hollow core 210a and the second hollow core 210b may have notch grooves n1 and n2. The notch grooves n1 and n2 facilitate cutting of the bent portion 213 after the core assembly 200 is cast. The notch grooves n1 and n2 may be disposed in the first bent portion 214 or the second bent portion 216.

Referring to FIG. 6, the notch groove n1 may be formed along the outer peripheral surface of the second bent portion 216. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the second bent portion 216 may protrude from the outer surface of the side wall 110. Referring to FIG. 7, the notch groove n2 may be disposed between the first bent portion 214 and the second bent portion 216.

The orifice 300 opens the hollow core 210 toward the outer surface of the side wall 110. That is, the hollow of the hollow core 210 is connected to the outside of the side wall 110 through the through hole 320 of the orifice 300. Accordingly, noise generated from the tire (not shown) may be transmitted to the inside of the hollow core 210 through the orifice 300. The noise removal efficiency may vary depending on the size of the through hole of the orifice 300 and the size of the hollow core 210. For example, noise removal efficiency may be designed according to the ratio of the size of the hollow core 210 to the through hole of the orifice 300.

In addition, the orifice 300 may be inserted into any one of the bent portions 213 disposed at both ends of the second hollow core 210b. That is, when the hollow core 210 of the core assembly 200 includes two hollow cores 210a and 210b, two orifices 300 are required. Accordingly, noise generated by the tire (not shown) may be collected in the first hollow core 210a and the second hollow core 210b through the orifice 300.

Referring to FIG. 11A, the orifice 300 may have a through hole 320 and a thread 310. In addition, the orifice 300 may have a cross groove 340 into which a driver (not shown) is inserted. The through hole 320 passes through the orifice 300. In addition, the thread 310 may be disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the orifice 300. Accordingly, the orifice 300 may be inserted into the bent portion 213 and screwed. The size of the through hole 320 may vary depending on the noise removal efficiency. That is, the resonance characteristics generated inside the hollow core 210 may vary depending on the size of the through hole 320. Meanwhile, the orifice 300 may have a shape corresponding to the hollow inside the bent portion 213.

11B is a diagram illustrating a plug 330 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 11C and 11D are diagrams for explaining the prevention of loosening of the orifice 300 inserted into the bent portion 213.

In addition, the plug 330 may have a screw thread 310 formed on an outer circumferential surface and a cross groove 340 into which a driver (not shown) is inserted. The thread can have an angle of 60 degrees. The plug 330 is inserted into the bent portion 213 to shield the end of the hollow core 210.

Meanwhile, after the orifice 300 and the plug 330 are inserted into the bent portion 213, the ends of the orifice 300 and the plug 330 are at least partially pressed to prevent loosening.

11C and 11D, at least some of the ends of the orifice 300 may be pressed together with the bent portion 213 in the insertion direction of the orifice 300. Accordingly, the orifice 300 may have at least one groove 350 and a protrusion in which at least a portion is pressed and depressed. That is, by pressing the end of the orifice 300, the orifice 300 may protrude at least partially in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface thereof. Although the orifice 300 has been described so far, the embodiments of FIGS. 11C and 11D may be equally applied to the plug 330. Meanwhile, an adhesive may be applied to the threads 310 of the orifice 300 and the plug 330. Accordingly, the orifice 300 and the plug 330 may be inserted into the bent portion 213 and securely fixed.

Here, the hollow core 210 may include first to fourth hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d. The first to fourth hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d may be disposed on the same circumference inside the sidewall 110. As an example, the first hollow core 210a may be disposed to face the third hollow core 210c. The second hollow core 210b may be disposed to face the fourth hollow core 210d.

The bent portion 213 disposed at one end of the first hollow core 210a is disposed substantially parallel to the bent portion 213 disposed at one end of the neighboring fourth hollow core 210d. The bent portion 213 disposed at the other end of the first hollow core 210a is disposed substantially parallel to the bent portion 213 disposed at one end of the neighboring second hollow core 210b.

In addition, the bent portion 213 disposed at the other end of the second hollow core 210b is disposed substantially parallel to the bent portion 213 disposed at one end of the neighboring third hollow core 210c. The bent portion 213 disposed at the other end of the third hollow core 210c is disposed substantially parallel to the bent portion 213 disposed at the other end of the neighboring fourth hollow core 210d. That is, each of the bent portions 213 is disposed substantially parallel to the adjacent bent portions 213. Accordingly, it is easy to arrange the first to fourth hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d for casting the core assembly 200 in the mold. In addition, it is easy to separate the first to fourth hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d from the mold. Alternatively, the bent portions 213 facing each other may be disposed to have a certain angle.

Meanwhile, each of the bent portions 213 may be spaced apart from each other. In addition, at least some of the plurality of bent portions 213 may contact each other. As an example, the bent portion 213 disposed at one end of the first hollow core 210a may contact the bent portion 213 disposed at one end of the neighboring fourth hollow core 210d. Further, each of the bent portions 213 disposed at both ends of the third hollow core 210c may be spaced apart from the bent portions 213 of the adjacent second hollow core 210b and the fourth hollow core 210d.

In another embodiment, the bent portion 213 disposed at the other end of the first hollow core 210a is spaced apart from the bent portion 213 disposed at one end of the neighboring second hollow core 210b by a third distance d3 Can be. In addition, the bent portions 213 facing each other may be spaced apart by a fourth interval d4. Here, the third interval d3 is larger than the fourth interval d4. An air valve (not shown) for supplying air into the tire (not shown) is disposed through the side wall 110. That is, the air injection hole 166 for injecting air may be disposed in the side wall 110 between the bent portions 213 spaced apart by the third interval d3.

The first to fourth hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d may have the same or different lengths. Referring to FIG. 13, the first hollow core 210a and the third hollow core 210c may have a first length L1. In addition, the second hollow core 210b and the fourth hollow core 210d may have a second length L2. Here, the first hollow core 210a and the third hollow core 210c having the same first length L1 may be disposed to face each other with the circumferential center C1 interposed therebetween. In addition, the second hollow core 210b and the fourth hollow core 210d having the same second length L2 may be disposed to face each other with the circumferential center C1 therebetween.

FIG. 15 is a view showing another embodiment of the core assembly 200 shown in FIG. 12, and FIG. 16 is a side view showing the hollow core 210 shown in FIG. 15.

15 and 16, the hollow core 210 may have a bottleneck 211a. For example, the core tube 211 may have a first cross-sectional area. The first cross-sectional area may be substantially the same along the length direction of the core tube 211. Here, the core tube 211 may have a bottleneck 211a having a second cross-sectional area smaller than the first cross-sectional area. The hollow core 210 may have one bottleneck 211a. When the hollow core 210 has two or more bottlenecks 211a, at least a portion of air and noise may be trapped between the bottlenecks 211a. As an example, each of the first to fourth hollow cores 210a to 210d may have one bottleneck 211a.

2 and 16, the orifice 300 may be inserted into one end of the hollow core 210. In addition, the plug 330 may be inserted into the other end of the hollow core 210. That is, the orifice 300 may be inserted into one of the bent portions 213 of the hollow core 210 and the plug 330 may be inserted into the other. The orifice 300 may connect the hollow 212 of the hollow core 210 and the outside of the side wall 110. In addition, the plug 330 shields the other end of the hollow core 210 from the outside of the side wall 110.

17 is a diagram illustrating another embodiment of the core assembly 200 shown in FIG. 13.

Referring to FIG. 17, the first hollow core 210a may have a third length L3, and the second hollow core 210b may have a fourth length L4. In addition, the third hollow core 210c may have a fifth length L5, and the fourth hollow core 210d may have a sixth length L6. Here, the third to sixth lengths L3, L4, L5, and L6 are different from each other. That is, the first to fourth hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d may have different lengths.

13 and 17, at least two hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d have different lengths. This means that the frequency band of noise that can be removed through at least one hollow core 210 is wide. That is, the efficiency of removing noise generated from the tire can be increased.

Referring to FIG. 14, each of the plurality of hollow cores 210 may include a core tube 211 and a bent portion 213. The core tube 211 has a hollow 212 therein. In addition, the core tube 211 has an arc shape. The bent portions 213 may be disposed at both ends of the core tube 211, respectively. The bent part 213 may include a first bent part 214 and a second bent part 216. The first bent part 214 is bent from the core tube 211 toward one direction, and the second bent part 216 is bent from the first bent part 214 toward the other direction.

18 is a cross-sectional view of a-a' in FIG. 14, and FIGS. 19 and 20 are perspective views illustrating another embodiment of the wheel assembly 10 shown in FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 18, at least one of the plurality of hollow cores 210 may include a filler 250. The filler 250 may fill the hollow 212 of the hollow core 210 including the core tube 211. The filler 250 may absorb noise introduced through the orifice 300 from the outside of the side wall 110. For example, the filler may include a foam having air bubbles. Noise generated by the tire (not shown) may flow into the hollow core 210 through the orifice 300. Noise can impinge on the filler material. At this time, the noise may convert heat energy by friction or the like.

16 and 19, the orifice 300 may be inserted into one bent portion 213 of the hollow core 210. In addition, the plug 330 may be inserted into the other bent portion 213 of the hollow core 210. Accordingly, one end of the hollow core 210 may be opened to the outside of the side wall 110 by the through hole 320 of the orifice 300. In addition, the other end of the hollow core 210 may be shielded by the plug 330.

In another embodiment, plugs 330 may be inserted into both ends of the hollow core 210.

14 and 20, plugs 330 may be inserted into both bent portions 213 of the hollow core 210. That is, the hollow core 210 may be shielded by the plugs 330 at both ends. At this time, the orifice 300 may be inserted into one side of the hollow core 210. The orifice 300 may be disposed between both plugs 330. The orifice 300 passes through the wheel assembly 10 toward the hollow 212 of the hollow core 210 from the outside of the side wall 110. In this case, noise generated from the outside of the side wall 110 may flow into the interior of the hollow core 210 through the orifice 300.

21 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of the hollow core 210 according to the present invention, Figures 22 to 24 are cross-sectional views showing another embodiment of the hollow core 210 shown in FIG.

21 to 24, the hollow core 210 may have various shapes. In addition, the hollow core 210 may have a hollow 212 of various shapes. As an example, the hollow core 210 may have a cylindrical shape. That is, it may have a circular hollow 212 having a constant radius from the center of the hollow core 210. As another example, the hollow core 210 may have a square shape. In addition, the hollow core 210 may have a hollow 212 having a square shape.

As another example, the hollow core 210 may have a square shape. In addition, the hollow core 210 may have a circular hollow 212. As another example, the hollow core 210 may have a circular shape. In addition, the hollow core 210 may have a hollow 212 having a square shape.

At least a portion of the bent portion 213 may have a hollow 212 having a polygonal shape.

25 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of a bent portion 213 according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 25, at least a portion of the bent portion 213 may have a rectangular hollow 212. In this case, the bent portion 213 may have various shapes such as a circle, an ellipse, and a polygon. That is, at least a portion of the bent portion 213 may have a rectangular hollow 212 regardless of the shape of the outer surface.

The wheel assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be manufactured by injecting molten metal into a mold in which the hollow core 210 is disposed. Therefore, the hollow core 210 must be able to be fixed inside the mold. The bent portions 213 are disposed at both ends of the hollow core 210. A fixing pin (not shown) that can be fixed inside the mold may be inserted into the bent part 213. The fixing pin may have a polygonal shape. In addition, the mold may have a groove into which at least a part of the fixing pin is inserted. Accordingly, when at least some of the bent portions 213 have a polygonal (eg, quadrangle) hollow 212, a polygonal fixing pin may be inserted into the bent portion 213. That is, the hollow core 210 may be fixed so as not to move inside the mold by a fixing pin.

Meanwhile, in cross section, the center of the hollow core 210 and the center of the hollow 212 may be spaced apart from each other. That is, the hollow core 210 in cross section may have a greater thickness at the lower end than at the upper end.

26 is a cross-sectional view illustrating another embodiment of the hollow core 210 shown in FIG. 21. Referring to FIG. 26, the hollow core 210 may have an oval shape. In addition, the hollow core 210 may have an elliptical hollow 212. Here, the center C3 of the hollow core 210 may be spaced apart from the center C2 of the hollow 212. As an example, the center C2 of the hollow 212 may be positioned above the center C3 of the hollow core 210. The center C3 of the hollow core 210 and the center C2 of the hollow 212 may be a left-right symmetry point or a vertical symmetry point in cross-section.

Since the center C2 of the hollow 212 and the center C3 of the hollow core 210 are spaced apart from each other, the thickness of the hollow core 210 may vary along the circumferential direction. For example, the thickness t1 of the upper end of the hollow core 210 may be thinner than the thickness t2 of the lower end of the hollow core 210. That is, the thickness t2 of the lower end of the hollow core 210 may be thicker than the thickness t1 of the upper end. The molten metal is injected into the lower part of the mold. The lower end of the hollow core 210 is in contact with the molten metal for a long time. That is, a portion of the lower end of the hollow core 210 may be melted by the molten metal. Therefore, if the thickness t2 of the lower end of the hollow core 210 is made thicker than the thickness t1 of the upper end, the shape of the hollow 212 may be maintained during the casting process.

2 and 12, the core assembly 200 is fused to the side wall 110. That is, the outer circumferential surfaces of the first to fourth hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d are fused to the sidewall 110. In addition, referring to FIGS. 9 to 12, the wheel assembly 10 according to the present invention may further include a plurality of orifices 300 coupled to the bent portion 213. For example, the orifice 300 may be inserted into the bent portion 213 of each of the hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d. For example, the wheel assembly 10 according to the present invention may include four orifices 300.

On the other hand, the orifice 300 inserted into the bent portion 213 of the first hollow core 210a is of a different shape and different from the orifice 300 inserted into the bent portion 213 of the second hollow core 210b adjacent to it. It may have a through hole 320 of a size. In addition, the orifice 300 inserted into the bent portion 213 of the first hollow core 210a is of a different shape and different from the orifice 300 inserted into the bent portion 213 of the fourth hollow core 210d adjacent to it. It may have a through hole 320 of a size.

That is, the orifice 300 inserted into any one of the plurality of hollow cores 210 may have a through hole 320 having a different shape and size from that of the other neighboring hollow cores 210. The orifices 300 inserted into the hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d may be different from each other according to the design purpose for noise reduction. In another embodiment, all of the orifices 300 inserted into the hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d may be the same.

FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating another embodiment of the core assembly 200 shown in FIG. 12.

Referring to FIG. 27, the hollow core 210 of the core assembly 200 may have a notch groove n1. As an example, the bent portions 213 of the first to fourth hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d may have a notch groove n1. That is, the notch groove n1 may be disposed for each bent portion 213. Specifically, the notch groove n1 may be disposed in at least one of the first bent portion 214 and the second bent portion 216.

The notch groove n1 is cut after manufacturing the wheel assembly 10 through die casting. Accordingly, the embodiment of the wheel assembly 10 may vary according to the position of the notch groove n1 on the bent portion 213. For example, when the notch groove n1 is in the first bent portion 214, the wheel assembly 10 may include a first bent portion 214 extending in one direction as shown in FIG. 2. In contrast, when the notch groove n1 is in the second bent portion 216, as shown in FIG. 8, the wheel assembly 10 includes a first bent portion 214 and a first bent portion extending in one direction. It may include a second bent portion 216 extending from 214 toward the other direction.

FIG. 28 is a view showing another embodiment of the core assembly 200 shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 29 is a plan view of the core assembly 200 shown in FIG. 28, and FIG. 30A is a core assembly shown in FIG. 28 It is a side view of 200, and FIG. 30B is a cross-sectional view taken along b-b' in FIG. 30A.

28 to 30A, the core assembly 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a core body 230. The core body 230 may be disposed between the hollow core 210 and the side wall 110. Here, the core body 230 may be fused to the hollow core 210 and the side wall 110.

The core body 230 surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the hollow core 210 constituting the core assembly 200. The core body 230 may include a core tube body 231 and a bent body 233. The core tube body 231 surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the core tube 211. In addition, the bent part body 233 surrounds the bent part 213. The core body 230 fixes and protects at least one hollow core 210 in the process of casting the wheel assembly 10.

The core tube body 231 may have a cylindrical shape. The arc-shaped core tube 211 may be disposed inside the core tube body 231. A plurality of core tubes 211 may be disposed on the core tube body 231 in a circumferential direction. The bent body 233 may extend from the core tube body 231. The bent body 233 surrounds the bent part 213 protruding from the core tube 211. The bent body 233 may include a first bent body 232 and a second bent body 234.

The first bent body 232 may be bent from the core tube body 231 and extend toward one direction. For example, the first bent body 232 may extend in the rim width direction of FIG. 2. The second bent body 234 may be bent from the first bent body 232 and may extend toward the other direction. For example, the second bent body 234 may extend in a radial direction from the circumferential center of the core tube body 231.

Meanwhile, the core body 230 may have a notch groove n3. The notch groove n3 may be disposed in the bent body 233. The notch groove n3 is formed along the outer surface of the bent body 233 to form a closed loop. The notch groove n3 may be cut after the wheel assembly 10 is manufactured. The bent body 233 may or may not protrude from the outer surface of the side wall 110 depending on the location of the notch groove n3.

The bent part body 233 surrounds the bent part 213 of the at least two hollow cores 210. For example, the bent body 233 may wrap the bent portion 213 of the first hollow core 210a and the bent portion 213 of the second hollow core 210b. The core body 230 may include four bent body 233. One of the plurality of bent body 233 may have a larger width than the other bent body 233. This is because the separation distance between the bent portions 213 disposed inside the bent portion body 233 is different.

Referring to FIG. 30B, the core body 230 may have a lower end thickness t2 that is thicker than the upper end thickness t1 in cross section. When manufacturing the wheel assembly 10, the lower end of the core body 230 is in contact with the molten metal for a long time by the molten metal injected from the bottom of the mold to the top. Therefore, in order to maintain the shape of the hollow 212 of the hollow core 210, the core body 230 may have a lower end thickness t2 that is thicker than the upper end thickness t1. Meanwhile, the hollow core 210 and the core body 230 may include the same material. That is, the hollow core 210 and the core body 230 may include aluminum or an aluminum alloy. In addition, the rim 100, the hollow core 210, and the core body 230 may include the same material.

The wheel assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be manufactured using die casting. Die casting is a precision casting method in which molten metal is injected into a steel mold precisely machined to match a predetermined casting shape, thereby obtaining a casting identical to the mold. Die casting is dimensionally accurate and requires little to be finished. In addition, it has excellent mechanical properties, and mass production is possible. Due to these advantages, die casting is used to manufacture automobile parts, electric devices, optical devices, and measuring instruments.

FIG. 31 is a plan view of the core assembly 200 shown in FIG. 28 disposed on a mold 400, and FIG. 32 is a diagram illustrating a wheel assembly 10 manufactured through die casting.

12, 31, and 32, the wheel assembly 10 may be manufactured using the core assembly 200 disposed on the mold 400. As an example, the wheel assembly 10 may be manufactured through die casting using the first to fourth hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d. 31 and 32 illustrate an embodiment of the core assembly 200 including the core body 230, an embodiment of the core assembly 200 not including the core body 230 will be described first.

Each of the first to fourth hollow cores 210a, 210b, 210c, and 210d includes a bent portion 213. The bent portion 213 includes a first bent portion 214 and a second bent portion 216. The first bent portion 214 may extend in one direction along the inner surface of the second middle mold 450 from the core tube 211. In addition, the second bent portion 216 may extend from the first bent portion 214 in another direction. At least a portion of the second bent portion 216 may be disposed between the first middle mold 430 and the second middle mold 450. That is, the first bent portion 214 and the second bent portion 216 may be disposed at a predetermined angle to each other.

The core assembly 200 may be fixed to the mold 400 by the first bent portion 214 and the second bent portion 216 disposed at a predetermined angle to each other. In this case, the second middle mold 450 may have a protrusion 451 protruding from the inner surface of the second middle mold 450. The protrusion 451 may contact at least a portion of the first bent portion 214. Accordingly, the protrusion 451 may support and fix the core assembly 200.

Referring to FIG. 32, the mold 400 may include a top mold 410, a first middle mold 430, a second middle mold 450, and a bottom mold 470. The core assembly 200 or the core body 230 including the core assembly 200 may be disposed inside the mold 400. The bottom mold 470 may have an injection hole 471. The injection hole 471 passes through the upper and lower portions of the bottom mold 470. The molten metal (melted metal) may be injected into the mold 400 through the injection hole 471.

The molten metal fills the inside of the mold 400 by passing through the injection port 471. Here, the molten metal fills the inside of the mold 400 from the injection port 471 toward the top of the mold. Accordingly, the lower end of the core assembly 200 may be in contact with the molten metal for a longer time than the upper end. That is, the lower ends of the hollow cores 210a to 210d may be partially melted by the molten metal higher than the upper end. By partially melting the hollow cores 210a to 210d, the molten metal may flow into the inner hollow 212 of the hollow cores 210a to 210d. To prevent this, the hollow cores 210a to 210d have a thickness of a lower end that is thicker than that of an upper end in cross section.

12, 31 and 32, the core assembly 200 including the core body 230 may be disposed on the second middle mold 450. The core body 230 includes a core tube body 231 and a bent body 233. The bent body 233 includes a first bent body 232 and a second bent body 234. The first bent body 232 and the second bent body 234 may be disposed at a predetermined angle to each other.

The first bent body 232 may extend from the core tube body 231 along the inner surface of the second middle mold 450. In addition, the second bent body 234 is bent from the first bent body 232. At least a portion of the second bent body 234 is disposed between the first middle mold 430 and the second middle mold 450. The protrusion 451 of the second bent body 234 may contact at least a portion of the first bent body 232. Accordingly, the protrusion 451 may support and fix the core body 230. The molten metal is injected into the mold 400 through the injection port 471. In consideration of this, the core body 230 may have a lower end thickness that is thicker than the upper end thickness in cross section. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the molten metal from flowing into the inner hollow 212 of the hollow core 210 by the high temperature molten metal.

Hereinafter, the resonance control unit 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention mounted on the core assembly 200 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 33 and 34.

Hereinafter, the above-described hollow core 210 is referred to as a resonance tube 200, and a hole provided at the end of the bent portion 213 is referred to as an opening. Here, the resonance tube 200 may be formed in various shapes, and may be a resonance cavity provided in the rim 100.

Meanwhile, the resonance control unit 20 may be provided in a hole formed at both ends of the hollow core 210, that is, an opening, or may be provided in an opening provided with the orifice 300 as shown in FIG. 20.

Further, the above-described hollow core 210 is applied to all embodiments, and may be provided in one or more of the openings provided in the hollow core 210. In addition, various embodiments of the resonance control units 20, 30, 40, 56, and 60 to be described later may include resonance control units 20 of different embodiments in each of a plurality of openings provided in the hollow core 210. , The resonance control unit 20 of the same embodiment may be provided.

That is, the resonance control units 20, 30, 40, 56, and 60 of various embodiments to be described later may be provided in each of a plurality of openings provided in the hollow core 210 in various combinations. The resonance control unit of these various embodiments includes an embodiment in which a reaction unit (bimetal or coil spring) to be described later responds to speed and temperature.

As described above, the wheel assembly 10 is provided inside the rim 100 and the rim 100 formed to mount the tire and extends along the circumferential direction of the rim 100, and the inner space is in the rim 100. It includes one or more resonance tubes 200 communicating with the outside of the rim 100 through the formed opening.

The above-described resonance tube 200 can reduce the resonance sound of a specific resonance frequency band, but it stops. However, when the rotational speed of the wheel increases as the vehicle speed increases, the resonant frequency changes in various ways due to various factors such as deformation of the shape of the tire or wheel, and temperature increase. Therefore, the resonance sound can be reduced only when the vehicle moves at a specific speed with only the existing resonance tube 200 that can reduce the resonance sound in a specific frequency band. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the resonance sound in response to a wide resonance frequency band by the resonance control unit 20 to be described later.

The resonance control unit 20 is provided in the resonance tube 200, and a through tube part 23 having a long hole 23a communicating with the outside of the resonance tube 200 through an opening of the inner space, and a rim 100 According to one or more of the rotational speed of and the temperature of the rim 100, it includes a resonance control unit 20 having a moving unit 25 that is close to or spaced apart from the long hole 23a.

When the moving part 25 approaches the long hole 23a, the entrance of the long hole 23a is narrowed, so that the reactive resonance frequency band is changed. In addition, when the moving part 25 is partially inserted into the long hole 23a, the length of the long hole 23a also changes, thereby changing the reactive resonance frequency band. Furthermore, the volume of the long hole 23a also changes, so that the reactive resonance frequency band changes. The wheel assembly 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may reduce resonance sound in response to various resonance frequency bands according to this principle.

On the other hand, the resonance control unit 20 is provided in the receiving body 21, the receiving body 21 formed therein, the receiving space 20a communicating with the outside, and a connection hole for communicating the receiving space 20a with the outside ( A reaction unit that connects the fixed part 22 and the fixed part 22 and the moving part 25 provided with 22c) and expands and contracts in response to at least one of the rotational speed of the rim 100 and the temperature of the rim 100 ( 24).
