Abstract

A combined wheel includes spokes, steel bushings, a rim, a brake pad, pins and a backing ring. The spokes are placed in respective empty slots between adjacent connecting blocks, and clamping grooves therein are matched with the connecting blocks. The pins are installed into holes of the spokes and the connecting blocks. A left end face of a backing ring is matched with the back of the spokes. A plurality of screws connect the backing ring, the connecting blocks and the spokes and are fitted into the steel bushings. The brake pad is fixed to two pluralities of bosses by a second plurality of screws. In use of the combined wheel, both radial force and axial force generated in the running of the wheel can be counteracted on the spokes. The annular brake pad is installed on the inner wall of the rim, thereby increasing the brake radius.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A combined wheel, comprising spokes, steel bushings, first screws, a rim, second screws, a brake pad, pins and a backing ring, wherein the steel bushings are installed in step grooves of the spokes; connecting blocks are uniformly distributed in a circumferential direction of the rim and are integrated with the rim, with an arc length formed by a first empty slot between every two adjacent connecting blocks being greater than a length of the connecting block; clamping grooves in the spokes are matched with the connecting blocks respectively; the pins are matched with the spokes and the connecting blocks; a left end face of the backing ring is matched with backs of the spokes; the first screws connect the backing ring, the connecting blocks and the spokes together and are matched with the steel bushings; and
first bosses and second bosses are both integrated with the rim, the first bosses are arranged to be symmetric about a center of the rim, and the second bosses are also arranged to be symmetric about the center of the rim, with a second empty slot being reserved between each group of the first boss and the second boss in an axial direction of the rim; the first bosses and the second bosses are each uniformly distributed on an inner side of the rim in the circumferential direction of the rim; and the brake pad is annular and is fixed to both the first bosses and the second bosses by the second screws.
