What are the intelligent features of the wheel hub unit?

The intelligent functions of the wheel unit are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Integrated sensors and real-time monitoring

• Temperature monitoring:

  By integrating temperature sensors, the wheel unit can monitor the temperature of the bearings and hub in real time. Once the temperature rises abnormally, the system will issue an early warning to remind the driver to take timely measures to prevent failures caused by high temperatures.

• Pressure monitoring:

  Some wheel units have an integrated tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which can monitor the air pressure of the tyres in real time. When the air pressure is lower or higher than the normal range, the system will automatically alert the driver to make timely adjustments.

• Rotation speed monitoring:

  The ABS signal acquisition system integrated in the wheel unit can monitor the rotation speed of the wheels in real time, providing accurate data support for the vehicle's anti-lock braking system (ABS) and improving the safety and stability of braking.

  
  

2. Fault diagnosis and early warning

• Intelligent detection technology:

  Through the integration of sensors and data acquisition system, the wheel unit can realise real-time monitoring and fault warning for bearings. The system can automatically identify bearing wear, looseness and other problems and issue timely warnings to reduce traffic accidents caused by faults.

• Data analysis and prediction:

  Using IoT and big data technology, the wheel unit can transmit monitoring data to the cloud for analysis. Through data analysis, the system can predict potential failures, schedule maintenance in advance, and reduce maintenance costs.

3. Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing

• Automated production line:

  Intelligent technology is widely used in the production process of wheel units. For example, the production of wheel units is automated and intelligent through robotics, CNC systems and vision inspection technology. This not only improves production efficiency, but also enhances the consistency and stability of product quality.

• Intelligent logistics and warehousing:

  On the production line, the intelligent logistics system enables automatic distribution and transport of materials through RFID tags and a central controller. Each wheel has its own ‘identity information’ during processing, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the process.

4. Enhanced Driving Experience

• Vehicle Stability Control:

  By integrating the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) function, the wheel unit can monitor the vehicle's driving status in real time and adjust the braking force of the wheels according to the needs, so as to improve the stability of the vehicle under complicated road conditions.

• Personalised driving assistance:

  Some high-end wheel units can also be integrated with the vehicle's intelligent driving system to provide personalised driving assistance functions, such as automatic parking, adaptive cruise control, etc., to enhance the convenience and comfort of driving.

5. Green Manufacturing and Environmental Protection

• Energy Saving and Emission Reduction:

  The intelligent wheel unit reduces the vehicle's energy consumption and emissions through optimised design and material selection. For example, the adoption of low-friction design and lightweight materials reduces vehicle fuel consumption.

• Cleaner production:

  In the production process, the application of intelligent technology reduces the pollution in the traditional manufacturing process and realises green manufacturing.

These intelligent features not only enhance the performance and safety of wheel units, but also provide important support for the intelligent upgrading of the automotive manufacturing industry.
