When the decorative cover structure 2 is used later, it is connected to the wheel spokes 12 through multiple clamping mechanisms 3 to achieve overall fixation.

[0062] In the present invention, an elastic sheet 8 is provided on the clamping seat 301. When the elastic sheet 8 is arranged in a V-shaped structure, the angle of the spring sheet is set to α=45°, and the V-shaped opening angle is achieved; thereby, the hook plate 31 and the extrusion seat 32 are always opened under the elastic force, so that the hook end of the hook plate 31 and the wheel spoke 12 are clamped with a gapless interference fit, and the hook is in a stressed state and is not easy to fall off, thereby avoiding the occurrence of dynamic abnormal noise.

[0063] Furthermore, two hook plates 31 without elastic sheets 8 are provided on the left and right sides of the decorative plate body 6. The top hook of the hook plate 31 is engaged with the spoke 12, and the elasticity is controlled by the elastic change of the insert material itself. That is, through the above design, it is beneficial to control the freedom of rotation direction around the Y-axis when the insert rotates with the wheel.

[0064] Furthermore, two limiting protrusions 5 are provided in the inner / outer directions of the centrifugal force of the wheel rotation, the purpose of which is to control the constraint of the direction of the rotating centrifugal force.

[0065] Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned methods.
