About Whirlpool Lub Log Log

Whirlpool yog ib lub log log (wheel hub) tsim los txias cov disc kaw tsheb (brake discs). Cov spokes muaj lub cev zoo li propeller, tau txais kev qhia los ntawm cov propeller ntawm dav hlau. Thaum kaw tsheb, kev sib xuas ntawm cov brake pads thiab lub brake disc ua rau kub sov nce ceev heev, thiab qhov kub heev ua rau lub disc siv tsis tau ntev. Lub cev ntawm Whirlpool sau cov cua nyob ib puag ncig lub log thiab coj mus rau hauv nruab nrab ntawm lub brake disc. Cov cua ntws ua rau lub disc txias thaum lub tsheb tseem taug kev. Lub hub yog tsim los ntawm titanium alloy thiab tsim tawm los ntawm kev nchuav (casting) thiab CNC machining.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award Tooj

Whirlpool Lub Log Log yog tus yeej ntawm A' Design Award Tooj, ib qho kev lees paub muaj meej mom heev uas muab rau cov qauv tsim tshwj xeeb uas txawv los ntawm kev tsim tshiab, kev txawj tsim thiab kev ntse. Cov neeg yeej Tooj yog cov khoom muaj txuj ci heev thiab tsim tshiab heev uas ua pov thawj txog kev paub ntau, kev xav thiab kev txawj ua ntawm cov kws tsim qauv. Whirlpool Lub Log Log xav tias yuav yog ib qho khoom uas neeg hwm, qhuas thiab hlub, uas tshaj lij heev thiab tsim tshiab. Cov qauv tsim yeej A' Design Award Tooj no siv cov kev coj ua zoo tshaj plaws ntawm kev kos duab, kev tshawb fawb, kev tsim qauv thiab thev naus laus zis thiab zoo heev vim nws saib xyuas cov ntsiab lus.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Conventional wheels do not have the function of cooling the brake discs. This wheel hub has a good air diversion function, which can quickly collect the air around the wheel hub and spread to the center of the disc, which can extend the life of the brake disc by cooling.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 432mm x Depth 203mm x Height 432mm.
Tags: Wheel Hub, Whirlpool, Cool, Titanium, Brake Discs
Production Technology: This wheel is made of titanium alloy material, using pouring and CNC processes, taking into account the function and aesthetics of the product.
Design Challenge: How to use the knowledge of fluid mechanics to cool high-speed air vortex and high-temperature brake discs is the most tuned part of the entire design. Through continuous testing, the design team finally found a more ideal wheel shape.
Research: The research of this project is mainly to understand the defects of the product through literature reading, and to evaluate and test the 3D model virtually through the evaluation module in Alias software.
Inspiration: When the car brakes, the temperature of the brake disc rises sharply due to the high-speed friction of the brake disc by the brake pad, which will greatly affect the life of the brake disc. So our team wanted to design a hub that could cool the brake disc when braking. The design of the wheels is inspired by the propellers of an aircraft.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2022 in Changshu and finished in December 2022 in Changshu
Operation Flow: The spokes of this hub are made of a propeller-like structure. When running at high speeds, the hub can cool the high temperatures caused by braking by drawing in air.
