Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile wheel cover support plates, and in particular relates to a lightweight automobile wheel cover support plate. Background Art
[0002] As "energy conservation and environmental protection" has become a topic of widespread concern, lightweighting has also been widely used in the field of ordinary automobiles. Lightweighting of automobiles means reducing the curb weight of the automobile as much as possible while ensuring the strength and safety performance of the automobile, thereby improving the power of the automobile, reducing fuel consumption, and reducing exhaust pollution. When a car is driving on a muddy road, the mud and water on the road surface will be carried by the high-speed wheels and attached to the body. The small particles of hard objects carried by the mud and water in the process of being thrown up will scratch the paint of the body and affect the appearance of the body. In order to suppress the body contamination caused by the adhesion of mud and water, and the body damage caused by splashing gravel, etc., the car wheel cover is installed at the lower part of the vehicle body. The wheel cover is a very important part of the automobile parts, which plays a decorative and mud-proof role, and also plays a role in sound absorption and noise reduction.
[0003] However, the wheel cover support plates currently on the market are often fixed with screws and other connectors when the wheel cover is installed, which is laborious to tighten. In addition, in order to prevent mud and water from splashing to other parts of the car body when the car is running, mudguards are generally installed. However, the presence of mudguards will also increase a certain amount of wind resistance and generate noise. In addition, the splashing direction of mud and water changes with the change of vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed is too high, the mudguard cannot respond accordingly and loses its function. Summary of the invention
[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a lightweight automobile wheel cover support plate to solve the problems in the above-mentioned background technology that the wheel cover is laborious to fasten and the fender cannot be adjusted with the vehicle speed.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] (1) The present invention can be connected to the vehicle body through the notch on the fixing arm, and then fixed to the vehicle body through the threaded hole. Then, the wheel cover is placed on the inner side of the support plate, and the fastener enters the groove along the mounting hole, so that one end of the fastener is pressed against the card slot of the fastener to achieve fixation. When disassembling, it only needs to rotate the fastener 90 degrees through the disassembly groove to make the fastener disengage from the card slot, thereby achieving separation. The structure is simple to operate and can greatly save the fastening time, thereby improving the work efficiency of the staff.
[0013] (2) The present invention drives the active gear to rotate through a motor, so that the driven gear meshing with the active gear drives the connecting rod to rotate a certain angle inside the support block, thereby causing the fender to rotate a certain angle. This structure can adjust the angle of the fender according to the speed of the vehicle, thereby preventing mud and water from splashing over the fender onto the vehicle body due to excessive speed. In addition, during normal driving, the wind resistance can be reduced by adjusting the angle of the fender, thereby reducing noise. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
