[0002] The vehicle will squeeze the air while driving, and the vehicle itself will be subject to the reaction force of the air (or air resistance). The air resistance generated by the air to the moving vehicle is proportional to the square of the vehicle's speed. The faster the speed, the greater the air resistance. Among them, the drag coefficient is used as a basic standard for evaluating the aerodynamic design of the vehicle, which intuitively defines the air resistance encountered by the vehicle when driving. It is generally believed that the smaller the corresponding drag coefficient, the better the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle.

[0003] In order to improve the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle, those skilled in the art will straighten out the air flow through the outer surface, lower surface and cabin of the vehicle by adding guide structures or spoiler structures, or optimize the curved surface of the aerodynamic kit of the vehicle in accordance with the curved surface requirements of the vehicle shape, and finally achieve the effect of reducing the vehicle's drag coefficient. Among them, adjusting the air flow through the wheels is an effective means to reduce the vehicle's drag coefficient.

[0055] The following description will refer to the accompanying drawings to more fully describe the content of the present application. The accompanying drawings show exemplary embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein. These exemplary embodiments are provided to make the present application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

Furthermore, unless explicitly defined herein, terms such as those defined in general dictionaries should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the relevant art and the content of this application, and will not be interpreted as idealized or overly formal meanings.

[0056] Usually, in order to improve the aerodynamic performance of a vehicle, those skilled in the art will straighten out the air flow through the outer surface, lower surface and cabin of the vehicle by adding guide structures or spoiler structures, or optimize the curved surface of the aerodynamic kit of the vehicle in accordance with the curved surface requirements of the vehicle shape, and finally achieve the effect of reducing the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle. Among them, adjusting the air flow through the wheels is an effective means to reduce the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle. However, when adjusting the airflow at the wheels in the prior art, there are problems such as non-universal decorative parts, high replacement cost, poor wind resistance reduction effect, and foreign matter stuck.

[0057] Correspondingly, the present application provides a wheel cover and a wheel and a vehicle using the same. The wheel cover includes a connecting member and a masking member, the connecting member is used to be connected to the wheel hub, the masking member is connected to the connecting member, the outer peripheral edge of the masking member is in the shape of a plate and extends radially along the circumference, and is used to cover the gap between the tire and the wheel hub. The wheel includes a hub, a rim, spokes and a wheel cover, the rim is spaced apart at the outside of the hub, the rim and the hub are connected through the spokes, the rim is used to connect the tire, the wheel cover is connected to the hub, and the masking member's orthographic projection along the front view direction of the wheel at least covers the edge of the tire close to the hub. The vehicle includes a vehicle body and the wheel cover as described above, or the wheel as described above, and the wheel cover or the wheel is assembled on the vehicle body.

[0058] Furthermore, the wheel cover provided by the present application is connected to the wheel hub of the wheel through a connecting member, so that the wheel cover can be connected to the wheel hub or exist independently compared to the wheel, which is convenient for replacing a suitable wheel cover according to different wheels. The mask is connected to the connecting member, and the mask can be connected or disassembled with the wheel body through the connecting member, so as to adjust the performance of the wheel cover by replacing a mask with a more suitable function. The outer peripheral edge of the mask is in the shape of a sheet and extends radially along the circumference, so that the mask can block the gap between the tire and the wheel hub, especially the groove-shaped gap existing in the transition area between the tire and the wheel hub after assembly, and more effectively reduce the wind resistance coefficient. On the other hand, the wheel cover blocks the aforementioned groove-shaped gap, which can effectively prevent the groove-shaped gap from being blocked by foreign objects. The wheel and vehicle of the present application are provided with a wheel cover at the wheel, and the gap on the wheel is blocked by the wheel cover, especially the groove-shaped gap after the tire is installed, and the gap corresponding to the spoke and the wheel hub can also be blocked or leveled, effectively reducing the wind resistance at the wheel and improving its aerodynamic performance. As a result, on the one hand, the vehicle's economy and endurance can be improved, and on the other hand, wind noise can be reduced and the vehicle's NVH performance can be improved, further improving the vehicle's driving quality.

[0059] Those skilled in the art will understand that "wheel" refers to the component of the entire vehicle used to support the tire, usually including components such as hub, spokes and rim. The wheel is connected to the vehicle's suspension system, transmits power to the ground through the contact between the tire and the ground, and supports the load of the vehicle at the same time.

[0060] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that “hub” refers to the central part of a wheel, used to support the entire wheel to be connected to a vehicle.

[0061] Those skilled in the art will understand that the "rim" refers to the annular structure on the outside of the wheel, which is used to support the tire and fix the spokes. The shape of the rim is usually adapted to the tire to ensure the safety and stability of the tire.

[0062] Those skilled in the art can understand that "spoke" refers to a structure connecting the hub and the rim, which is usually radially distributed between the hub and the rim and is designed to increase the stability and strength of the connection between the hub and the rim.

[0063] Those skilled in the art will understand that “tire” refers to a rubber product installed on a vehicle wheel for contacting the ground and providing traction, shock absorption and suspension functions.

[0064] Those skilled in the art will understand that "interference fit" refers to a size design of two parts that fit together, in which the size of one part is slightly larger than the size of the other part.

[0065] The following will describe exemplary embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the components depicted in the reference drawings are not necessarily shown to scale; and the same or similar components will be given the same or similar reference numerals or similar technical terms.

[0066] The specific implementation methods of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a wheel decorative cover 10, which includes a connecting member 11 and a masking member 12. The connecting member 11 is used to connect with the wheel hub 19 of the wheel 1; the masking member 12 is connected to the connecting member 11, and the outer peripheral edge 121 of the masking member 12 is in the shape of a sheet and extends radially along the circumference to cover the gap between the tire 16 and the wheel hub 19.

[0068] In this embodiment, further combined Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the mask 12 can block the surface of the wheel 1 along the front view angle (or the side view angle of the vehicle 2) along its extension direction, and the outer periphery 121 of the mask 12 refers to the outermost circle of the mask 12 with a certain width. The area with a certain width can extend to the area where the tire 16 is located to block the gap between the tire 16 and the wheel hub 19.

[0069] It can be understood that the wheel cover 10 provided in the present application is connected to the wheel hub 19 of the wheel 1 through the connecting member 11, so that the wheel cover 10 can be connected to the wheel hub 19 of the wheel 1 or exist independently compared to the wheel 1, so as to replace the appropriate wheel cover 10 according to different wheels 1. The mask 12 is connected to the connecting member 11, and the mask 12 can be connected or disassembled with the main body of the wheel 1 through the connecting member 11, so as to adjust the performance of the wheel cover 10 by replacing the mask 12 with a more suitable function. The outer peripheral edge 121 of the mask 12 is in the shape of a sheet and extends radially along the circumference, so that the mask 12 can block the gap between the tire 16 and the wheel hub 19, especially the groove-shaped gap 101 existing in the transition area between the tire 16 and the wheel hub 19 after the two are assembled, so as to more effectively reduce the drag coefficient. On the other hand, after the wheel cover 10 blocks the groove-shaped gap 101, the groove-shaped gap 101 can be effectively prevented from being blocked by foreign objects.

[0070] It is understandable that the embodiment of the present application is illustrated by taking the mask 12 as being roughly circular to adapt to the circular shape of the wheel 1 and / or tire 16, and the outer peripheral edge 121 is in a sheet-like shape and extends radially along the circumference, and "radially along the circumference" means that the outer peripheral edge 121 is toward the outside of the mask 12 (or understood as the side close to the tire 16 and the rim 18). Those skilled in the art will understand that the mask 12 can also be other shapes.

[0071] In one embodiment, further combining Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the sidewall of the tire 16 of the wheel 1 in the assembled state is usually slightly higher than the outer facades of the hub 19, the spokes 17, and the rim 18, which makes the transition area from the tire 16 to the hub 19 have a height difference, thereby forming a groove-shaped gap 101 (or called a "V" groove). The wheel decorative cover 10 provided in the present application can not only block the outer facades of the hub 19 and the spokes 17, but also block the groove-shaped gap 101, thereby further reducing wind resistance.

[0072] Further integration Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the mask member 12 is detachably connected to the connecting member 11 .

[0073] Understandably, further combined Fig. 9 As shown, the connecting member 11 is used to connect with the wheel hub 19 of the wheel 1 to ensure the connection between the wheel cover 10 and the wheel 1. At the same time, the cover member 12 is detachably connected to the connecting member 11, and the cover member 12 can be replaced according to different usage scenarios, thereby improving the practicality of the wheel cover 10.

[0074] For example, by adjusting the outer diameter of the mask 12, the wheel cover 10 can be adapted to wheels 19 and / or tires 16 of different sizes, so that the mask 12 always has a good shielding effect on the groove-shaped gap 101. For another example, masks 12 of different materials can be replaced for different usage scenarios. For usage scenarios that require improved battery life, masks 12 with lower wind resistance can be replaced. For usage scenarios that require performance, masks 12 with lighter weight or better heat dissipation can be replaced. For another example, from the perspective of individuality, masks 12 with different appearances can be replaced.

[0075] In one embodiment, the connecting member 11 includes a connecting fixing portion 111 and a mounting portion 112. The fixing portion 111 is used to connect with the hub 19, and the mounting portion 112 is used to connect with the mask member 12 by interference fit.

[0076] It can be understood that the connecting member 11 includes a fixing portion 111 and a mounting portion 112 with functional separations, which is convenient for users to install or remove. Among them, the mounting portion 112 is configured to be connected to the cover member 12 by interference fit. This installation method can be assembled by size matching, and usually requires fewer additional tools or parts, which can improve the convenience of installation of the wheel decorative cover 10.

[0077] In this embodiment, the fixing portion 111 and the mounting portion 112 can be an integrally formed design, so that the connector 11 has both functional diversity and reliability. In other embodiments, the fixing portion 111 and the mounting portion 112 can also be two separate components, which can be connected by a suitable method, such as bonding, which will not be described in detail here.

[0078] It is understandable that the material of the connecting member 11 can be plastic, such as a combination of PP and MD40 and / or a combination of PC and ABS, etc. The outer diameter and thickness of the fixing portion 111 and the height of the mounting portion 112 can be changed according to actual needs to adapt to different wheels 1.

[0079] In one embodiment, the fixing portion 111 includes a plurality of mutually spaced clamping feet 1110, which are used to press against the hub 19 to fix the connector 11. The mounting portion 112 is disposed on the same side of the plurality of clamping feet 1110, and the mask 12 is sleeved outside the mounting portion 112.

[0080] In this embodiment, the clamping foot 1110 is made of a deformable material, and the clamping foot 1110 includes a spaced connecting end 1111 and a locking end 1112, wherein the connecting end 1111 is connected to the mounting portion 112, and the locking end 1112 is connected to the connecting end 1111 and extends toward a side away from the mounting portion 112. At the same time, the locking end 1112 and the connecting end 1111 can be bent and staggered, so that the distance between the multiple connecting ends 1111 can be larger than the distance between the multiple locking ends 1112, so as to improve the overall stability of the connector 11. The multiple connecting ends 1111 corresponding to the multiple clamping feet 1110 are all connected to the mounting portion 112, and the multiple locking ends 1112 are spaced from each other, and there is an avoidance space between any adjacent locking ends 1112, so that avoidance can be performed when the clamping foot 1110 is connected to the wheel hub 19.

[0081] It can be understood that when the fixing portion 111 is installed on the wheel hub 19, the engaging end 1112 is squeezed by the wheel hub 19 and deformed or offset, and the connecting end 1111 is connected and fixed to the mounting portion 112; at this time, the clamping foot 1110 itself has a tendency to restore its original state due to the deformation, and driven by this tendency, the clamping foot 1110 can be engaged with the wheel hub 19 and fixed. Specifically, the number of the clamping feet 1110 can be two, four, five, six, eight or more, and the clamping feet 1110 can be used to clamp the threaded holes (not shown) of the wheel hub 19 or the gaps (not shown) between adjacent spokes 17.

[0082] In one embodiment, the mounting portion 112 is substantially disc-shaped, and the outer edge of the mounting portion 112 extends radially from the connection between the mounting portion 112 and the fixing portion 111. The protruding edge of the mounting portion 112 is used to be disposed in the accommodating cavity 120 to connect the mounting portion 112 with the mask 12.

[0083] In one embodiment, the mask 12 defines a receiving cavity 120 , the mounting portion 112 is configured to be disposed in the receiving cavity 120 , and the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112 in at least one direction is greater than the inner diameter of the receiving cavity 120 corresponding to the at least one direction.

[0084] It can be understood that the way in which the mounting portion 112 and the mask member 12 achieve interference fit can be: the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112 is larger and the inner diameter of the accommodating cavity 120 is smaller. In this matching mode, after the mounting portion 112 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 120, the mask member 12 can be tightly abutted and fixed with the mounting portion 112, so that the installation position of the mounting portion 112 is more accurate and not easy to be misplaced. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112 in each direction is larger than the corresponding inner diameter of the accommodating cavity 120 in each direction.

[0085] In another embodiment, the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112 in each direction is smaller than the inner diameter of the accommodating cavity 120 in the corresponding direction.

[0086] It is understandable that the way in which the mounting portion 112 and the mask member 12 achieve interference fit is that the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112 is smaller and the inner diameter of the accommodating cavity 120 is larger. In this matching mode, the mounting portion 112 can be more easily arranged in the accommodating cavity 120, the installation process is more convenient, and there is room for error tolerance in the structure.

[0087] In this embodiment, the material of the mask 12 can be plastic, for example, it can include at least one of NR natural rubber and SSBR synthetic rubber. The outer diameter of the outer periphery 121 of the mask 12 or the inner diameter of the accommodating cavity 120 and other parameters can be changed according to actual needs to adapt to different wheels 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0088] In one embodiment, the connecting member 11 is connected to the middle region of the mask member 12. The outer peripheral edge 121 extends radially from the intersection of the mask member 12 and the connecting member 11 in a direction away from the connecting member 11, and the outer peripheral edge 121 gradually becomes thinner from its extending direction toward the outside.

[0089] In this embodiment, the connecting member 11 is arranged corresponding to the hub 19 or even the area where the spokes 17 are located, and the mask member 12 is connected to the hub 19 through the connecting member 11. Fig. 9 As shown, the outer peripheral edge 121 of the mask 12 is extended radially along the circumference, so that the mask 12 can at least extend to the edge where the tire 16 and the rim 18 meet to cover the groove-shaped gap 101 .

[0090] In one embodiment, the mask 12 includes a first surface 124 and a second surface 125. The first surface 124 is a surface of the mask 12 on the side away from the connecting member 11, and the second surface 125 is a surface of the mask 12 on the side facing the connecting member 11. In this embodiment, the first surface 124 is substantially flat and continuous to reduce wind resistance, and the area where the second surface 125 is connected to the first surface 124 gradually extends in an inclined manner away from the connecting member 11, so as to match the shape of the groove-shaped gap 101.

[0091] It is understandable that, since the sidewall of the tire 16 is usually higher than the plane where the hub 19, the rim 18 and the spokes 17 are located, there is usually a groove-shaped gap 101 (or a "V" groove gap) at the edge area of ​​the sidewall of the tire 16 near its center. The outer peripheral edge 121 is designed to be thinned in a gradient manner, so that the outer peripheral edge 121 of the mask 12 can better match the shape of the groove-shaped gap 101, making it easier for the second surface 125 to match the groove-shaped gap 101, and at the same time facilitating the first surface 124 to be kept flatter.

[0092] Further integration Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the mask 12 includes a frame portion 122 and a shielding portion 123 , the frame portion 122 is connected to the connecting member 11 , the shielding portion 123 is connected to the frame portion 122 , and the outer periphery 121 is located at the shielding portion 123 .

[0093] In this embodiment, the shielding member 12 is divided into a detachably connected frame portion 122 and a shielding portion 123. The frame portion 122 and the shielding portion 123 are disc-shaped with different sizes. The frame portion 122 is sleeved on one end of the connecting member 11, and the shielding portion 123 is sleeved outside the frame portion 122.

[0094] It is understandable that the frame part 122 and the shielding part 123 are two separate parts, and suitable structures or materials can be selected according to the functions of the frame part 122 and the shielding part 123. For example, the frame part 122 can be made of a more solid or lighter material to reduce the overall mass of the shielding member 12 and improve its support, and the shielding part 123 can be made of a material with higher flatness to improve the effect of reducing wind resistance.

[0095] In this embodiment, the accommodating cavity 120 can be opened inside the frame part 122, and the outer peripheral edge 121 is located on the shielding part 123. The frame part 122 and the shielding part 123 can also be connected by interference fit. For example, the shielding part 123 has an assembly cavity 1230, and the frame part 122 is accommodated in the assembly cavity 1230.

[0096] In one embodiment, the skeleton portion 122 may be a continuous and complete structure. Figure 6 As shown, the skeleton portion 122 may also be a hollow structure formed by a plurality of branches 1221 stacked and connected to each other. A plurality of weight-reducing holes 1220 are formed on the skeleton portion 122 to reduce the weight of the skeleton portion 122 and make the wheel trim cover 10 lighter.

[0097] Further integration Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the mask 12 is annular and further includes an inner peripheral edge 1231 disposed opposite to the outer peripheral edge 121 . The mask 12 is sleeved on the connecting member 11 , and the inner peripheral edge 1231 is connected to the connecting member 11 .

[0098] In this embodiment, the connecting member 11 has a relatively large outer diameter, and the connecting member 11 is arranged roughly corresponding to the area where the hub 19 and the spokes 17 are located. The inner periphery 1231 of the mask 12 is sleeved on the periphery of the connecting member 11, and the connector 11 is clamped in the inner periphery 1231. The mask 12 is an extension of the connecting member 11 in this direction, and is mainly designed to cover the groove-shaped gap 101.
