Rim well with integrated flange made of fiber composites as well as method for manufacturing same

摘要

A rim well with integrated flange made of fiber composite as well as to a method for manufacturing same. The flange is formed by inwardly directed protuberances of fiber layers of the rim well, wherein the fiber layers transition to the flange from the rim well without interruption of the fibers. The manufacture is carried out by depositing fiber material on a mold, which corresponds to the contour of the rim well and has a radially circumferential or segmented groove. The fibers are deposited such that the fibers of at least one fiber layer have protuberances directed into the groove. A multipart mold, which makes it possible to reduce the width of the groove and thus a deformation of the protuberances, is preferably used.

1. A method for manufacturing a rim well comprising a flange located on an inner side of the rim well for fastening a wheel spider or a wheel disk, wherein the flange is formed by inwardly directed protuberances of fiber layers of the rim well, wherein the fiber layers transition to the flange from the rim well without interruption, the method comprising the steps of:
depositing fiber material on a mold element corresponding to the contour of the rim well with a circumferential or segmented radial groove; carrying out the deposition such that the fibers of the fiber material of at least one fiber layer enter the groove, whereby
at least one fiber layer with protuberances directed inwardly into the groove is formed; andsubsequently the deposited fiber material is consolidated with a matrix material.
