A manufacturing process for fitting wheel hubs and caps

This invention relates to a manufacturing process for fitting wheel hub caps. The invention first forms an initial cap groove in the center of the wheel hub through casting. The initial cap groove includes an initial profile and a conforming profile. This stage eliminates the need for milling, effectively reducing manufacturing complexity. Next, the final structure of the cap groove is formed through a one-time machining process, including a positioning groove, a retaining angle inlet, a cap stop, and an inner stop. The rational design of these parts allows the cap to enter the inner stop through the retaining angle inlet and ensures the cap is securely fixed within the cap groove. This invention is particularly suitable for non-circular wheel hub cap designs, solving the common manufacturing difficulties and high costs associated with such conforming designs. It eliminates the need for new milling equipment, employing a one-time machining process that effectively reduces manufacturing costs and improves production efficiency.
