Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wheel cover installation, in particular to a wheel cover which is firmly installed. Background Art

[0002] Wheel covers are installed on steel wheels. Their main function is to cover the wheel bolts and wheel mounting axle heads to prevent pedestrians from scratching them, and also to improve the appearance of the entire vehicle wheel. Since the wheel is a high-speed rotating part, if the wheel cover is not fixed firmly, it will fall off the wheel and cause a safety accident. Therefore, the fixing of the wheel cover must be safe and reliable.

[0003] Existing wheel cover installation technology often adopts a wheel cover structure such as that disclosed in announcement number CN103863007B, which buckles the wheel cover assembly onto the wheel assembly by pressing a stamped washer into the wheel cover body with force, and the wheel bolts pass through the central through hole of the stamped washer. Six wheel nuts in six barrel holes lock the wheel assembly and the wheel cover assembly. The stamped washer and the limit block of the wheel cover body cooperate to fix the wheel cover. However, the bolts will inevitably become loose during the long-term rotation of the wheel. If the wheel cover falls off when the car is driving at high speed, the wheel cover will have great destructive power at this time, which will bring great safety hazards to surrounding vehicles and personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the problem of bolt loosening in the prior art and provides a wheel cover with reliable installation.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A wheel cover with secure installation comprises a wheel cover matched with a wheel frame, a claw for connecting to the wheel frame is welded to the bottom end of the wheel cover, a support plate is welded inside the wheel cover, a fixing mechanism for fixing the wheel frame is arranged on the support plate, a cylindrical groove is opened at the top of the wheel cover, a buckle is welded inside the cylindrical groove, and a vehicle logo plate is matched with the buckle.

[0007] Preferably, a groove for cooperating with a claw is provided on the wheel bone, and a connecting column is welded on the wheel bone, and the upper end of the connecting column is integrally connected with a force-bearing boss.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 A wheel cover with reliable installation comprises a wheel cover 1 which is matched and installed on a wheel bone 2, a claw 3 for connecting the wheel bone 2 is welded at the bottom end of the wheel cover 1, and a slot 7 for matching the claw 3 is provided on the wheel bone 2. The claw 3 is inserted into the slot 7, and the wheel cover 1 is rotated to preliminarily connect the wheel bone 2 with the wheel cover 1, which is also convenient for subsequent fixed installation of the wheel cover 1. A connecting column 8 is welded on the wheel bone 2, and a force-bearing boss 801 is integrally connected to the upper end of the connecting column 8. A supporting plate 4 is welded in the wheel cover 1, and a fixing mechanism for fixing and connecting the wheel bone 2 is provided on the supporting plate 4. A cylindrical groove 16 is provided at the top end of the wheel cover 1, and a buckle 5 is welded in the cylindrical groove 16, and a car logo plate 6 is matched and installed on the buckle 5. The car logo plate 6 can cover the structure in the cylindrical groove 16 to improve the aesthetics of the wheel cover 1.

[0023] The fixing mechanism includes a hexagon socket bolt 9 threadedly connected to the buckle 5 and the support plate 4, a threaded hole matching the hexagon socket bolt 9 is provided in the support plate 4 and the cylindrical groove 16, and the support plate 4 and the cylindrical groove 16 are provided concentrically, and a resistance plate 10 fixedly connected to the hexagon socket bolt 9 is welded at the upper end of the support plate 4, and the resistance plate 10 can be controlled to move downward by screwing the hexagon socket bolt 9, and an inwardly inclined boosting slope 1001 is provided at the lower end of the resistance plate 10, and connecting claws 11 are connected to the pins at both ends of the support plate 4, and a force-bearing slope 1101 corresponding to the boosting slope 1001 is provided at the upper end of the connecting claw 11, and the lower end of the connecting claw 11 is a clamp corresponding to the force-bearing boss 801. Hook 1102, a connecting rod 12 is connected to the pin on the support plate 4, and the free end of the connecting rod 12 is slidably connected to the connecting claw 11, and a strong spring 13 is fixedly connected between the support plate 4 and the connecting rod 12. The resistance plate 10 moves downward, and the boost slope 1001 will be released from the force slope 1101, squeezing the upper end of the connecting claw 11 outward. At this time, the hook 1102 will move inward, clamp the force boss 801, and generate an upward force, and the bottom end of the hexagon socket bolt 9 will conflict with the force boss 801, generating a downward force. At this time, the force boss 801 is subjected to extrusion forces from three different directions, so that the wheel cover 1 is firmly mounted on the wheel bone 2.

[0024] A sleeve 14 matched with the buckle 5 is welded to the bottom end of the vehicle logo plate 6, and a hexagonal plug 15 matched with the hexagon socket bolt 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vehicle logo plate 6. The hexagonal plug 15 is located on the inner side of the sleeve 14. During the rotation of the wheel, the hexagon socket bolt 9 may become loose, and during driving, the wheel cover 1 may fall off. By utilizing the connection between the sleeve 14 and the buckle 5, the position of the hexagon socket bolt 9 relative to the wheel cover 1 can be fixed to prevent loosening.

[0025] It should be noted that the specific model and specification of the hexagon socket bolt 9 needs to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device, and the specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it is not repeated here.

[0026] The functional principle of the utility model can be explained through the following operation modes:

[0027] First, put the claw 3 into the slot 7, rotate the wheel cover 1, and fix the wheel cover 1 onto the wheel frame 2. At this time, the connecting claw 11 is located on both sides of the connecting column 8;

[0028] Secondly, the hexagon socket bolt 9 is screwed with a hexagonal wrench, so that the abutment plate 10 moves downward, and the booster slope 1001 abuts against 1101, so that the hook 1102 swings toward the direction of the connecting column 8 to buckle against the force-bearing boss 801. At the same time, the bottom end of the hexagon socket bolt 9 abuts against the upper end of the force-bearing boss 801, and the forces generated at three places firmly mount the wheel cover 1 on the wheel bone 2.

[0029] Finally, the hexagonal plug 15 is inserted into the hexagon socket bolt 9. This time, the buckle 5 is matched with the sleeve 14 to lock the position of the hexagon socket bolt 9.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
