material selection:
The material of the fishing wheel body is the basis of its structure and directly affects the strength, weight and corrosion resistance of the wheel body. Common wheel body materials include aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys and high-strength plastics. Aluminum alloy is one of the most common choices due to its excellent strength and lightweight properties while being resistant to corrosion. Higher-end models may feature magnesium alloy to further reduce weight and increase overall rigidity.
Structural design:
The structural design of the wheel body usually includes an upper shell and a lower shell, which are connected together by screws or bolts. The design may adopt a monolithic design, that is, integrating the upper and lower shells into a whole to improve overall rigidity. Structural innovation also includes the one-piece design, which reduces connections between parts and improves overall strength through the processing of a single piece of material.
Waterproof design:
Since fishing wheels are often used in humid environments, waterproof design is an important consideration in the wheel structure. The wheel body usually adopts designs such as sealing rings and waterproof rubber pads to prevent moisture from penetrating into the interior of the wheel body. Premium models may have waterproof coatings on bearings and gears to ensure critical areas are protected from water corrosion.
Strengthened areas:
In the design, the wheel body usually has some areas of increased strength located at the main stress points, such as the bearing mounting and the handle connection. By increasing the material thickness in these areas or adopting special structural designs, the compression and bending resistance of the wheel body when subjected to force can be improved.
Wheel body surface treatment:
In order to improve the appearance, texture and corrosion resistance, the surface of the wheel body usually undergoes some special treatments, such as anodizing or spraying. Anodizing can form a layer of oxide film with higher hardness to improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the surface. Spray coating can use a special anti-corrosion coating to make the wheel more durable.
Screws and Screw Selection:
The screws and bolts connecting the upper and lower shells of the wheel body are also key parts of the wheel body structure. Usually made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials to prevent corrosion. The design may use a special thread structure to improve the tightening and loosening resistance of the screws.
