Abstract

The present disclosure provides a hub unit including a fixing shaft disposed along a rotation center shaft; a hub body rotatably disposed at the fixing shaft through a bearing and having space inside; a brake disk fixed in the hub body by a bracket and formed in a circumference direction on a basis of the fixing shaft; a fixing member where one side of which is fixed to the fixing shaft; a caliper formed at the other side of the fixing member and a part of the brake disk is inserted into the caliper; and a brake pad where both inside surfaces of the brake pad are contacted with both side surfaces of the brake disk.

Claims (48)

1. A hub unit having a brake disk comprising:

a fixing shaft disposed along a rotation center shaft;

a hub body rotatably disposed at the fixing shaft through a bearing, the hub body having space inside;

a brake disk fixed in the hub body by a bracket and formed in a circumference direction on a basis of the fixing shaft;

a fixing member formed to extend toward a vertical direction to a lengthwise direction of the fixing shaft, wherein one side of the fixing member is fixed to the fixing shaft;

a caliper formed at the other side of the fixing member, wherein a part of the brake disk is inserted into the caliper; and

a brake pad, wherein both inside surfaces of the brake pad are configured to contact with both side surfaces of the brake disk,

wherein a body expansion portion is formed at the hub body, and an outer diameter of the body expansion portion is capable of becoming larger, and

the caliper is disposed inside the body expansion portion, and

wherein one end of the fixing member is fixed to the fixing shaft,

the other end of the fixing member extends toward outside in a radial direction in the body expansion portion, and

the brake disk is disposed in parallel with the fixing member and extends toward inside of the caliper.

2. The hub unit of claim 1 , wherein:

the body expansion portion and the fixing member are formed at a center portion of the fixing shaft in a longitudinal direction.

3. The hub unit of claim 1 , further comprising:

a quick release (QR) inserted along a center shaft of the fixing shaft in a longitudinal direction, wherein the QR is configured to fix the fixing shaft to a dropout of a bicycle frame.

4. The hub unit of claim 1 , wherein:

the bearing is interposed between an inner circumference surface of the hub body and an outer circumference surface of the fixing shaft.

5. A hub unit having a brake disk comprising:

a fixing shaft disposed along a rotation center shaft;

a first hub body rotatably disposed at one side of the fixing shaft through a bearing;

a second hub body rotatably disposed at the other side of the fixing shaft through the bearing in a predetermined interval with the first hub body;

a brake disk fixed in an end portion of the second hub body opposing to an end portion of the first hub body, wherein the brake disk is formed in a circumference direction on a basis of the fixing shaft;

a fixing member formed to extend toward a vertical direction to a lengthwise direction of the fixing shaft, wherein one end of the fixing member is connected to the fixing shaft and extended in a predetermined distance toward outside in a radial direction between the first hub body and the second hub body;

a caliper formed at an outside end portion of the fixing member, wherein the brake disk is inserted into the caliper; and

a brake pad, wherein both inside surfaces of the brake pad are configured to contact with both side surfaces of the brake disk,

wherein the brake disk is disposed in parallel with the fixing member and extends toward inside of the caliper.

6. The hub unit of claim 5 , wherein:

the first hub body is disposed at one side on a basis of the brake disk and connected to one end portion of a first spoke, wherein the first spoke is connected to a rim of a wheel, and

the second hub body is disposed at the other side on the basis of the brake disk and connected to a second spoke, wherein the second spoke is connected to the rim of the wheel.

7. The hub unit of claim 5 , further comprising:

a QR inserted along a center shaft of the fixing shaft in a longitudinal direction, wherein the QR is configured to fix the fixing shaft to a dropout of a bicycle frame.

8. A hub unit having a brake disk comprising:

a fixing shaft disposed along a rotation center shaft of a wheel;

a hub body rotatably disposed at the fixing shaft through a bearing, the hub body having space inside in a circumference direction of the fixing shaft;

a rotor fixed and disposed at an inner circumference surface of the hub body;

a fixing member connected to the fixing shaft and extended toward a side of the rotor and formed to extend toward a vertical direction to a lengthwise direction of the fixing shaft, wherein a stator facing the rotor is disposed on an end portion of the fixing member;

a brake disk fixed in the hub body and formed in a circumference direction on a basis of the fixing shaft;

a caliper formed at the fixing member, wherein an outside of the brake disk in a radial direction is inserted into the caliper; and

a brake pad, wherein inside surface of the brake pad is configured to contact with side surface of the brake disk,

wherein the brake disk is disposed in parallel with the fixing member and extends toward inside of the caliper.

9. The hub unit of claim 8 , wherein:

an outer circumference surface of the hub body formed in a remote direction from the fixing member is connected to a rim of a wheel by a spoke.

10. The hub unit of claim 8 , wherein:

the rotor is arranged by a predetermined interval in a rotation direction of the hub body, and

the stator is arranged by a predetermined interval in the rotation direction of the hub body corresponding to the rotor.

11. The hub unit of claim 8 , wherein:

the rotor or the stator is sequentially vitrified by supplied power configured to rotate the hub body on the basis of the fixing shaft through attraction or repulsion force between them.
