Title: Zhuo Zhou’s Wheel Innovations

Introduction

Zhuo Zhou is an inventor associated with Hebei, China. Her work includes two patents for combined-wheel designs that address wheel structure and braking performance. She is associated with Citic Dicastal Co., Ltd.

Latest Patents

Zhou’s patent portfolio includes 2 patents, both concerning combined wheels.

One design combines spokes, steel bushings, a rim, a metal frame, a brake disc, and pins. The spokes and connecting blocks are secured with pins and screws, while the brake disc attaches to the metal frame. The design is intended to distribute radial and axial forces through the spokes. Its inward-facing braking arrangement increases the brake radius and reduces the clamping force needed for braking.

The other design uses spokes, steel bushings, a rim, a brake pad, pins, and a backing ring. The spokes fit into slots between connecting blocks and are secured with pins and screws. An annular brake pad is mounted on the inner wall of the rim. As with the first design, the structure is intended to counteract radial and axial forces through the spokes, while the brake-pad placement increases the brake radius.

Career Highlights

Zhou’s documented patent work focuses on combined-wheel construction and braking systems. The two designs describe ways to connect wheel components and position braking elements to support force distribution and braking performance.

Collaborations

Zhou is associated with Citic Dicastal Co., Ltd. Her listed coworkers include Chuanqun Li and Bowen Xue.

Conclusion

Zhuo Zhou’s two combined-wheel patents highlight her work on wheel assembly, force management, and braking design.
