[0002] An off-road vehicle is a vehicle designed specifically for driving on rugged, roadless terrain. It usually has a high ground clearance, a powerful engine, and a four-wheel drive system to cope with adverse road conditions. Off-road vehicles are also often used for activities that require driving in wilderness or mountainous areas, such as exploration, military, and rescue missions. Due to its powerful performance and adaptability, off-road vehicles are a very practical means of transportation in many situations.

[0003] Aluminum alloy tires have the following advantages over traditional steel tires: aluminum alloy tires are relatively light, which improves fuel efficiency and driving performance; the excellent strength and rigidity of aluminum alloy materials enable the tires to perform well when subjected to loads and impacts, providing better handling and driving stability; aluminum alloys have good heat dissipation properties and can more effectively dissipate the heat generated by the braking system.

[0004] Aluminum alloy wheels are widely used in automobile manufacturing and have some significant advantages, but they also have some disadvantages: aluminum alloy wheels are relatively fragile and easily damaged by external impact and collision. Especially when off-road vehicles are driving on potholes and gravel roads, the wheel hub may be dented or scratched by the impact of stones; aluminum alloy wheels are easily affected by oxidation and corrosion, especially sewage adhering to the wheel hub for a long time, which may cause spots, rust or corrosion on the surface of the aluminum alloy wheel and the bolts.

The aluminum alloy protective plate 2 can protect the surface of the wheel hub 1 and has a buffering effect. When the stone collides with the aluminum alloy protective plate 2, the first spring 303 is compressed, which can convert the impact force of the stone into the elastic potential energy of the first spring 303, thereby improving the impact resistance of the aluminum alloy protective plate 2 and preventing the stone from directly colliding with the surface of the wheel hub 1. At the same time, it can greatly reduce the adhesion of rainwater or sewage to the surface of the wheel hub 1 and the fixing bolt 101, reduce the risk of corrosion, and extend the service life of the wheel hub 1.

[0025] When the aluminum alloy protective plate 2 needs to be disassembled, press the fixed block 205 along the second rectangular slide groove 23 to move the cylindrical block 204 toward each other, and then drive the support block 206 to move along the rectangular groove 351 toward each other.
