[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to a suspension hub cover assembly. Background Art

[0002] At present, domestic automobiles have a cylindrical hole in the center of the wheel hub of the four tires due to production. Manufacturers make a hard plastic cover with the vehicle brand, forming the car logo in the center of the four-wheel hub. The car logo is rigidly fixed to the wheel hub, causing it to rotate synchronously with the rotation of the wheel.

[0003] Therefore, in the prior art, the car logo has the following two disadvantages: first, when the vehicle is running, the car logo rotates synchronously with the rotation of the wheel, so that the connection structure between the car logo and the wheel hub is not firm, which is prone to safety accidents; second, when the vehicle is running, the car logo rotates synchronously with the rotation of the wheel, so that people cannot distinguish the vehicle brand from the side through the wheel logo, and naked eye observation can easily cause dizziness or eye fatigue. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a suspended hub cover assembly, which enables the wheel cover to rely on the counterweight effect of the counterweight block instead of rotating synchronously with the automobile wheel hub, so as to achieve a unique visual effect of the wheel cover floating or sliding, so that the wheel cover can better display the automobile brand logo when the automobile is driving.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model provides a suspension hub cover assembly, comprising:

[0006] A wheel cover, wherein a mounting hole is provided at the center of the wheel cover, a bearing is provided in the mounting hole, and a counterweight is provided at an eccentric position of the wheel cover;

[0007] A rubber plug, wherein the rubber plug is provided with a through hole along its axial direction and is used to be installed in the center hole of the wheel hub;

[0008] a screw, one end of which is disposed on the rubber plug, and the screw is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing; and

[0009] A first nut is arranged at the other end of the screw rod.

[0010] Furthermore, an accommodating cavity is axially opened at one end of the rubber plug close to the wheel cover, a second nut is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and one end of the screw rod is connected to the rubber plug through the second nut.

[0011] Furthermore, the rubber plug is provided with a through hole along its axial direction, the accommodating cavity is communicated with the through hole, the second nut is a hexagonal nut, and the shape of the accommodating cavity is adapted to the shape of the second nut.

[0012] Furthermore, an annular groove is provided on the outer circumference of the rubber plug, and an elastic fastening ring is arranged in the annular groove.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a shaft sleeve, the inner circumferential surface of the shaft sleeve is provided with an internal thread, and the shaft sleeve is threadedly connected to the screw rod so that the screw rod is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing through the shaft sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, an annular flange is provided at one end of the shaft sleeve close to the first nut, so that the annular flange abuts against the inner ring of the bearing to axially limit the bearing.

[0015] Furthermore, the counterweight is located on the inner side of the wheel cover.

[0016] Furthermore, the wheel cover is an annular structure, and the outer peripheral edge of the wheel cover is bent and extended toward the inner side to form an outer peripheral edge.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer edge is circumferentially provided with a plurality of hollow structures, the inner side of the wheel cover is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs at circumferential intervals along the mounting hole, one end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the outer wall of the mounting hole, and the other end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the outer edge.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides a floating hub cover assembly to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the vehicle logo rotates synchronously with the wheel, causing inconvenience in observation. The assembly is installed in the center hole of the automobile wheel hub through a rubber plug 200. Since a rotatable bearing 120 is provided between the wheel cover 100 and the screw rod 300, the wheel cover 100 is rotatably connected to the wheel. The wheel cover 100 does not rotate synchronously with the automobile wheel hub due to the counterweight effect of the counterweight block 150, thereby achieving a visual effect of the wheel cover 100 floating or sliding. In addition, when the automobile brakes to a stop, the wheel cover 100 can still rotate briefly due to inertia, so as to give the user a cool sense of technology and uniqueness.

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Please also read Figures 1 to 5 The present embodiment provides a suspension hub cover assembly, including a wheel cover 100, a rubber plug 200, a screw rod 300 and a first nut 400. A mounting hole 110 is provided at the center of the wheel cover 100, a bearing 120 is arranged in the mounting hole 110, and a counterweight block 150 is arranged at an eccentric position of the wheel cover 100; the rubber plug 200 is provided with a through hole 210 along its axial direction, and the rubber plug 200 is used to be installed in the center hole of the wheel hub; one end of the screw rod 300 is arranged on the rubber plug 200, and the screw rod 300 is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing 120; the first nut 400 is arranged at the other end of the screw rod 300, and the outer end of the first nut 400 has a ball head end 410 to cover the end of the screw rod 300 through the ball head end 410.

[0033] It can be seen that the floating hub cover assembly of the present embodiment is installed in the center hole of the automobile wheel hub through the rubber plug 200. Since a rotatable bearing 120 is arranged between the wheel cover 100 and the screw 300, the wheel cover 100 does not rotate synchronously with the automobile wheel hub under the counterweight effect of the counterweight block 150, and a car logo or other decorations can be set on the wheel cover 100. In this way, the car logo on the wheel cover 100 does not rotate synchronously when the car is driving, so that the wheel cover 100 can better display the car brand logo or other decorations, and the wheel cover 100 can achieve a unique visual effect of suspension or sliding, thereby enhancing the sense of technology and uniqueness of the car, and bringing a better user experience.

[0034] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, an accommodating cavity 220 is axially opened at one end of the rubber plug 200 close to the wheel cover 100, and a second nut 240 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 220. One end of the screw rod 300 is connected to the rubber plug 200 through the second nut 240. During installation, the logo of the automobile wheel is first removed, and then the rubber plug 200 is inserted into the center hole of the automobile wheel hub. The end of the rubber plug 200 away from the wheel cover 100 is cylindrical, and the diameter of the rubber plug 200 adopts a universal size that can be adapted to the center hole of the wheel hub. In this way, the suspended hub cover assembly can be assembled to the wheel hub of the automobile in turn. There is no need to disassemble the wheel hub during assembly. The structure is simple and compact, and the assembly is convenient and quick. It can be applied to automobile wheels of different brands and models, thereby improving the versatility and applicability of the product.

[0035] Specifically, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the accommodating cavity 220 is connected with the through hole 210, the second nut 240 is a hexagonal nut, and the shape of the accommodating cavity 220 is adapted to the shape of the second nut 240. In this way, the second nut 240 is tightly embedded in the accommodating cavity 220 of the plug 200, and then the wheel cover 100 and the wheel hub can be assembled together by threading the screw 300 with the second nut 240.

[0036] Furthermore, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, an annular groove 230 is provided on the outer periphery of the rubber plug 200, and an elastic fastening ring is arranged in the annular groove 230. The elastic fastening ring can be made of silicone or rubber material, and the rubber plug 200 can be made of elastic plastic or rubber material. In this way, the elastic fastening ring is tightly in contact with the inner wall of the center hole of the wheel hub to improve the stability and reliability of the assembly structure. Of course, in other embodiments, a plurality of axially extending cuts (not shown) can also be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the through hole 210 of the rubber plug 200 to divide the outer peripheral wall into a plurality of arcuate walls through the cuts. The tension between the plurality of arcuate walls can also improve the assembly tightness between the rubber plug 200 and the inner wall of the center hole of the wheel hub.

[0037] In this embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, the suspension hub cover assembly also includes a shaft sleeve 500, the inner circumferential surface of the shaft sleeve 500 is provided with an internal thread 510, and the shaft sleeve 500 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 300, so that the screw rod 300 is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing 120 through the shaft sleeve 500. In this way, the inner ring of the bearing 120 is sleeved on the shaft sleeve 500, and the outer ring of the bearing 120 is installed in the mounting hole 110 of the wheel cover 100. In this way, when the screw rod 300 rotates with the wheel hub, the wheel cover 100 and the screw rod 300 can rotate relative to each other through the bearing 120, and the wheel cover 100 can achieve synchronous rotation without rotating with the automobile wheel hub and the screw rod 300 under the counterweight effect of the counterweight block 150, thereby achieving a visual effect of the wheel cover 100 floating or sliding. In addition, when the automobile brakes to a stop, the wheel cover 100 can still be rotated briefly by inertia, so as to bring a cool sense of technology and uniqueness to the user.

[0038] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, an annular flange 520 is provided at one end of the shaft sleeve 500 close to the first nut 400, so that the bearing 120 is axially limited by the annular flange 520 abutting against the inner ring of the bearing 120. The annular flange 520 is preferably a hexagonal structure to facilitate threading the shaft sleeve 500 on the screw rod 300 by using a wrench.

[0039] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the counterweight 150 is located on the inner side of the wheel cover 100, wherein the counterweight 150 can be fixed on the inner side of the wheel cover 100 by bonding, screwing, magnetic connection, snap connection, etc., and the counterweight 150 is arranged adjacent to its outer peripheral edge. This embodiment does not limit the material of the counterweight 150.

[0040] Specifically, if Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the wheel cover 100 is a disc-shaped ring structure, and the outer peripheral edge of the wheel cover 100 is bent and extended inward to form an outer peripheral edge 130. With this arrangement, the side of the wheel hub can be better shielded by the outer peripheral edge 130, and some luminous decorative patterns can be designed on the outer surface of the wheel hub to enhance the beauty of the wheel cover 100 in a dark environment.

[0041] Furthermore, if Figure 2As shown, the outer edge 130 is provided with a plurality of hollow structures 131 along the circumferential direction, and the inner side of the wheel cover 100 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 140 at circumferential intervals along the mounting hole 110, and one end of the reinforcing rib 140 is connected to the outer wall of the mounting hole 110, and the other end of the reinforcing rib 140 is connected to the outer edge 130. With such an arrangement, the structural strength of the wheel cover 100 can be significantly improved through the reinforcing rib 140 without increasing the thickness of the wheel cover 100, thereby avoiding the wheel cover 100 being too bulky and affecting its visual effect of suspension or gliding, and making the panel design of the wheel hub lighter and smoother, which helps to improve the suspension or gliding effect of the wheel cover 100.

[0042] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting hole 110 of the wheel cover 100 is provided with a plurality of raised ribs 111 at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the raised ribs 111 are extended along the axial direction of the mounting hole 110 so as to tightly contact the outer ring surface of the bearing 120 through the raised ribs 111, thereby fastening and installing the bearing 120. With such an arrangement, the outer ring of the bearing 120 and the mounting hole 110 of the wheel cover 100 can be more closely matched through the raised ribs 111, thereby preventing the bearing 120 from easily detaching from the mounting hole 110, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the structural design.

[0043] When assembling, Figure 1 As shown, the car logo of the car hub can be removed first, and then the rubber plug 200 can be fixedly installed in the center hole of the car hub, and then the screw 300 can be threadedly connected to the second nut 240 in the rubber plug 200, and then the shaft sleeve 500 can be inserted into the bearing 120 at the center of the wheel cover 100 and mounted on the screw 300 together, and finally the first nut 400 can be screwed on the end of the screw 300 to fix it. The structure is simple and compact, easy to assemble, low in production cost, and good user experience.

[0044] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0045] The floating hub cover assembly of the utility model is installed in the center hole of the automobile wheel hub through the rubber plug 200. Since a rotatable bearing 120 is arranged between the wheel cover 100 and the screw 300, the wheel cover 100 does not rotate synchronously with the automobile wheel hub under the counterweight effect of the counterweight block 150, and a car logo or other decorations can be set on the wheel cover 100. In this way, the car logo on the wheel cover 100 does not rotate synchronously when the automobile is driving, so that the wheel cover 100 can better display the automobile brand logo or other decorations, and the wheel cover 100 can achieve a unique visual effect of suspension or sliding, thereby enhancing the technological sense and uniqueness of the automobile, and bringing a better user experience to the user.
