Description of the invention (1) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a hub of a pedal wheel, a device for implementing the method, and a hub completed by the method. Applicants have recently conducted various investigations and tests to manufacture bicycle parts, especially bicycle wheel hubs, and especially wheeled bicycles, by using structural fiber based materials, especially carbon fiber based materials. This type of material offers the advantage of being lighter than previously used metallic materials, which have the same structural characteristics. Because of the typical structure of a pedal wheel hub of the type described above, it is difficult to manufacture a hub from a single piece of carbon fiber-based material using techniques available at the time. The wheel hub used in modern bicycles will have a compound cylindrical shape with a central fixed diameter portion and a two bell-shaped end section with a wider diameter. In addition, it is also desirable that the thickness of the hub can be continuously increased from the central portion toward the ends of the hubs to ensure the required resistance characteristics in all regions of the hub, especially on the ends, where The spokes are fixed to this end while ensuring minimal weight. The above describes the required tubular body with a composite shape, which can be used to manufacture the hub from a single part of a structural fiber material, such as a carbon fiber material. The object of the present invention is to overcome this technical problem. -A core of a substantially cylindrical metal material is provided, which is covered with a deformable sheath made of an elastic material (506917) V. Description of the invention (2)-Use is combined into a plastic A plurality of layers of a structural fiber fabric of a matrix of materials that surrounds the core and the individual sheaths to form a layered tube having a predetermined shape and thickness and surrounding the core and Individual sheath-Place the core and individual sheath (which has a stacked tube body formed on it) in a cavity of a mold. -Increasing the temperature of the mold to sufficiently cause a few 値 of the reticulation of the plastic material mother body and at the same time cause the material (which forms the sheath) to expand, which will be in the tube body in the mold A radial pressure is applied and the tube is removed from the mold and from the core in order to obtain a single-part bicycle wheel hub made of a structural fiber material. Preferably, the elastic material of the sheath has a thermal expansion coefficient of more than 15 × l (T5im / ° C) and a maximum continuous heat-resistant temperature of more than 100 ° C. For example, the material of the sheath may be a silicon rubber into a Synthetic rubber (synthetic rubber), such products available in the market, such as Airtech International Inc.? Humtington Beach, California, USA trademark AIRCAST 3700. This material is due to its high thermal expansion coefficient (90x1 (Γ5 on / ° C) and Its high continuous heat resistance (232t), because of its good thermal conductivity, (2.59W / ° C) and because of its good maximum tensile stress (6 80%), this material is better. After the mold is taken out and the core is removed, the above-mentioned good properties make the removal of the sheath from the inner surface of the finished product more 506917. 5. Description of the invention (3) Convenient.
此方法(重要的階段已如上所述)通常可被使用在製 造出具有所有外形的輪轂,同時也可不同於以上所描述 的。此方法的一重要特徵是在於設置具有前述彈性材 料鞘(其係由高的熱膨脹彈性材料所製成)的核心。此 材料會呈現出在相對低的溫度下而受到高的熱膨脹處 理之特徵。在此溫度的狀況下,在該塑膠材料中的結構 纖維織物是合倂有網狀組織。 被合倂在一塑膠材料母體的各結構纖維織物早已爲 習知且被使用已有一段時閭。它們是由從結構纖維(例 如碳纖維)中所獲得的紗線(yarn)所製成。這些織物然 後受到一砑光加工(calendaring process)以使它們聯結 至一塑膠材料母體,典型地爲一熱固型(thermosetting) 塑膠材料。This method (the important stages have been described above) can usually be used to make a wheel with all shapes, but it can also be different from the one described above. An important feature of this method is the placement of a core with the aforementioned elastic material sheath, which is made of a highly thermally expandable elastic material. This material will be characterized by a high thermal expansion treatment at relatively low temperatures. At this temperature, the structural fiber fabric in the plastic material is meshed with a mesh structure. Structural fiber fabrics that have been combined into a matrix of plastic material have been known for quite some time and have been used for some time. They are made of yarns obtained from structural fibers, such as carbon fibers. These fabrics are then subjected to a calendaring process to attach them to a matrix of plastic material, typically a thermosetting plastic material.

In this way, when the mold is heated to form a reticulated structure of the thermoset matrix of the laminated tube body (which surrounds the core and the sheath), the material forming the sheath swells and thus A radial pressure is applied to the face of the pipe body, which is used to obtain a product with the necessary structural features. The main advantage of this thermal expansion sheath is that despite the possible composite construction of the pre-formed body (as described at the beginning of this article), which has two enlarged bell-shaped end portions and a continuously increasing thickness5, it is possible to apply this uniformly The other advantage of pressure is attributed to its elasticity. At the same time, 506917 V. Description of the invention (4) When the elastic sheath has a composite shape, the elastic sheath can be easily removed from the finished product. As described above, in the preferred form of the embodiment of the present invention, the structural fiber is a carbon fiber, and the plastic material precursor is a thermosetting plastic material precursor. The temperature (the mold must be heated to this temperature) is preferably in the range of 80 ° C to 20 (TC. The mold is preferably maintained at a temperature in this range and lasts from 30 minutes to 3 In the range of hours, in the case where the method according to the present invention is implemented to produce the above-mentioned composite shape, the method is characterized in that the core will present a cylindrical central portion and two wider diameters and be composed of two A separate, axially continuous element (which has a contact plane perpendicular to the axis of the core) is composed so that the core can be separated from the tube after being removed from the mold. As mentioned above, the The core sheath remains in the tube after removing the core. Due to its elasticity, the sheath can be easily removed. As mentioned above, the tube is preferably pre-formed to present a cylindrical central portion And two enlarged end portions (which have a continuously increasing thickness toward its ends). In a preferred form of the example of the present invention, the two elements forming the core are combined with two end ring flanges, which are Used to limit The end of the tube body (preformed on the core) is included. Finally, according to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention also relates to a bicycle wheel hub obtained by the method of the present invention. The characteristics of the hub according to the present invention are It is composed of a single tube body (made of a structural fiber-based material incorporated in a plastic material mother body which is incorporated into a 506917 V. Invention Description (5). The tube body has a cylindrical central portion And two enlarged end portions. Preferably, the hub of the present invention will exhibit a continuously increasing thickness from the central portion toward the ends. The drawings are simply explained below with reference to the drawings Restricted example) to illustrate the present invention in detail, in which:-Figure 1 points out the perspective view of the core, which belongs to the equipment used in the method according to the invention,-Figure 2 illustrates two elements (in each other (In a separated state), which is the core formed in Figure 1,-Figure 3 illustrates the core in Figure 1, which is externally covered with many structural fiber-based fabrics According to the method of the present invention,-Figure 4 is a perspective view of a sheath of an elastic material, which is coated on the core in Figure 1,-Figure 5 is an assembly exemplified in the third circle A partial cross-sectional view of the element having two elements forming the core, the sheath covering the element and a pre-formed tube laminate thereon, and-Fig. 6 is a mold for the method according to the invention A cross-sectional view of FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1, the number 1 indicates a cylindrical core composed of two separate elements 3, 4. Each of these two elements 3, 4 is made of a metallic material such as steel. In the closed state exemplified in the figure, the two elements 3, 4 will form a substantially cylindrical core, which has a central portion-7-506917. V. Description of the invention (6) 2 (It presents a fixed Diameter) and two bell-shaped end portions 5,6 (which have an enlarged diameter, ending in ring flanges 7,8). Referring to Figs. 3 and 4, the core 1 is externally covered with a sheath 24 made of a high thermal expansion elastic material (refer to Figs. 4 and 5). Preferably, the elastic material forming the aforementioned sheath has a thermal expansion coefficient of more than 15 × 1 (T5 legs / ° C) and a maximum continuous heat resistance temperature of more than 100 ° C. For example, the material forming the core sheath may be a synthetic rubber market Some such products, such as Airtech International Inc., Huntington Beach, California, USA trademark AIRCAST 3700. This material is due to its high thermal expansion coefficient (15x1 (Γ5 wake / ° C) and its high continuous heat resistance (232t ), Because of its good thermal conductivity (2.59W / m ° C) and its good maximum tensile stress (680%) 5 this material is better. It is removed from the mold and the core is moved After the removal, the above-mentioned good properties facilitate the removal of the sheath from the inner surface of the finished product. According to the core [(Figure 4), it has a central cylindrical portion and a two bell-shaped end portion] structure The sheath is pre-formed and preferably shaped to the size so as to be coated on the core by slightly stretching it so that the sheath can be restored by its elastic return effect Stuck to Core. The core and individual sheaths are therefore a layer coated with a sheet of structural fiber-based material (typically carbon fiber), which is incorporated into a matrix of a thermoset plastic material. Preferably, according to the present application The principle of the co-filed patent case is that the fabric layer on the core and the sheath includes one or more drawings 506917 V. Description of the invention (7) A fabric wound around a larger diameter end and a central portion of the core Windings of strips and many plies (which extend over the entire length of the core), each fold will partially cover the core in a circumferential direction, and the thickness is Is applied to several faces of the core to provide resistance to the structure in the radial direction. As shown in Figure 4, several layers of a piece of fabric are wrapped around the entire outer face of the core 1 to form A pre-formed pipe body 9 also presents a central fixed portion 10 and two bell-shaped ends 1 1 and 12 of a larger diameter. In addition, the thickness of the pre-formed pipe body 9 will vary from the end direction. The central part is constantly increasing. Finally The two ring end flanges 7, 8 of the core 1 axially contain the ends of the pre-formed tube body 9. The assembly (which is composed of the core 1, includes two elements 3, 4, a sheath 24 and The pre-formed tube body 9 is looped around the assembly and is positioned in a cylindrical recess 13 of a mold device 14 (formed by an upper mold half 15 and a lower mold half 16), which presents A shape corresponding to the outer shape of the outer surface of the hub to be completed, that is, substantially corresponding to the outer surface of the pipe body 9 (shown as the fourth circle) in advance. The end of the recess 13 is borrowed The lids 17, 18 (which are fastened to the two end flanges of the mold halves 15, 16 by screws 19) are closed. Each of these two covers 17, 18 is combined with a central cylindrical housing 20, in which an individual coil spring 21 is provided. Each of these two spiral springs 21 is disposed axially between the bottom wall 20a of the other tubular casing 20 and the individual end surface of the core 1. The two springs 21 will elastically press the two elements 3 and 4 of the core 1 so that the two elements 3 and 4 are phased. »9-506917 V. Description of the invention (8) The close contact makes these elements correspond to them. The contact plane 22 (which is perpendicular to the axis 23 of the core 1) is kept in contact. After the assembly (which consists of a core and a pre-formed tube body wound around the core) is placed in the mold, the mold is brought to a size sufficient to form a matrix of a thermoset plastic material (its system The temperature of the reticular structure belonging to the pipe body 9) includes, for example, a temperature within a range from 80 ° C to 200 ° C. This increased temperature is preferably maintained for a period of time such as from 30 minutes to 3 hours. In this way, the thermosetting plastic matrix will form a mesh structure to form a sheath (which will cover the two elements 3 of the core, 4) The synthetic rubber will expand. Because the flanges 7, 8 are pressed by the two springs to abut the end of the pre-formed pipe body 9, the expansion is mainly pressed radially outward. . Therefore, a radial pressure is applied outwardly to the pipe body 9; therefore, the pipe body 9 is pushed against the wall of the cylindrical recess 13 in this manner, although it is exemplified herein For example, the composite structure (the t has a bell-shaped end and an increasing thickness from the center to the ends), but all pressure and pressure will still be applied to all parts of the pre-formed pipe 9 on. Naturally, during this phase, the spring 21 will allow the two elements 3, 4 of the core to be slightly separated from each other, and then the 0 Λ force is applied to the sheath 24 to abut the corner flange / 〇 ° The mold is opened and the assembly (which includes the core 1 and the body 9 disposed thereon) is taken out at the end of the mesh stage. At this point, the formation The core elements 3, 4 and 10 are removed from the body in opposite directions ΐ-τ, after which the sheath-10-

Description of the invention (9) 24 (which is still combined with the inner surface of the pipe body) is taken out by elastic deformation. The completed hub is therefore made in particular from a structural fiber material, typically a carbon fiber material and from a single part, despite the composite geometry as described above. Naturally, the product can be subjected to additional machining (for example, holes can be drilled into the bell-shaped ends used to hold such spokes to form a set of radial holes) which allows the part to be used as a pedal wheel hub. Finally, it is clear that the device exemplified in Figure 6 can be modified by providing a wall (which has a high thermal expansion material as shown above) relative to the surface of the recess of the mold and again by using two A core made of metallic material elements 3,4. In this case, the thermal expansion of the wall in the recess can exert a radial pressure on the outer surface of the pre-formed pipe body 9 (which will thus be pressed on the metal core) (which is directed from the outside towards the center) . Naturally, many changes can be made to the form and structure of the examples of the invention exemplified herein. The intent of the text (which highlights the special mold of the invention) is as defined in the scope of the patent application below. For example, although this description and the drawings clearly point out a bicycle wheel hub, it is obvious that the method according to the present invention can be applied to the manufacture of other parts having a similar profile, especially other bicycle parts.
