DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter relates to a rotating member. More particularly, to a rotating member for a vehicle.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Typically, wheel is an important structural member of the vehicle and capable of rotating on its axis, facilitating movement. Additionally, the wheel supports the static and dynamic loads encountered during vehicle operation. Importantly, the wheel is designed considering several parameters including weight, durability, style, manufacturability, cost and performance. The aluminium alloys have been the most prominent light weight structural materials. The designers tend to realize further light weighting of the wheel and simultaneously improving the processing technical performance. In other words, the wheel should be as light as possible with higher load bearing, longer service life and lower damage structure. It is known in the prior art to reduce the overall weight of the wheel by using different grade materials having low density and high damage resistance, but the selecting very high-grade materials increase the overall cost of the wheel and the vehicle. Further, any attempt to reduce the weight of the wheel by reducing a wheel rim thickness tends to affect the durability of the wheel. It is observed that when wheel rim thickness being reduced, the wheel tends to crack or bend. The bending of the wheel rim causes air leakage.
[0003] Thus, there arises a need to solve above mentioned problems. Therefore, there is need to reduce the overall weight of the wheel to improve acceleration, handling, fuel economy, vehicle performance, enhancing the overall driving experience without sacrificing performance or safety.
[0004] The above information disclosed in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the disclosure and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

[00057] In an embodiment, the plurality of openings (105E) can have varied depth (Dr, Dl).

The non-circular cross section includes polygon, herein the polygon includes a hexagon, a triangle, a pentagon, and an octagon. In an embodiment, the wheel rim portion includes combination of non-circular and circular openings. Like a set of circular openings along with a set of hexagon openings. In another embodiment, a set of hexagon opening being provided with rectangular openings. Therefore, like these multiple combinations of non-circular with circular openings, only non-circular openings, and only circular openings is possible and comes within the scope and spirit of the present invention.
[00059] According to the above architecture, one of the primary efficacies of the present invention is the optimally rigid, vibration resistant structure of the rotating member is achieved. This light weight of rotating member is achieved due to plurality of openings leading to reduction in the overall weight of the rotating member without compromising on the strength and stiffness of the rotating member. This reduction in the overall weight of the rotating member leads to a reduction in the unsprung mass thereby improves the vehicle dynamics.
[00060] Advantageously, the configuration of the hub portion, spoke portions, and rim portion with the plurality of openings allows for optimized distribution of material, thereby enhancing the overall structural integrity of the rotating member. These constructional details reduce the risk of failure modes such as rim crack and bend, leading to a more durable and reliable wheel rim. The incorporation of plurality of openings in at least one of the spoke portions, hub portion, or rim portion enables significant weight reduction without compromising strength. This results in lighter rotating members, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and vehicle performance. The plurality of openings extending laterally towards a central imaginary line allows for better airflow through the rotating member. This improved cooling and ventilation help dissipate heat generated during operation, reducing the risk of overheating and prolonging the lifespan of the wheel rim.
[00061] The above-described embodiments, and particularly any “preferred” embodiments, are possible examples of implementations and merely set forth for a clear understanding of the principles of the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes in form, connection, and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
