[0014] The present utility model relates to an extrusion clamping connection mechanism of an automobile wheel hub protective cover, as Figure 1 — Figure 3As shown in the figure, it includes a wheel hub 1 and a protective cover 2. There is a logo mounting hole 3 in the wheel hub 1. The protective cover 2 is connected to the logo mounting hole 3 through an extrusion clamping connection mechanism. The extrusion clamping connection mechanism includes a snap ring 6 arranged in the logo mounting hole 3, evenly distributed cards 7 are arranged under the snap ring, and a card slot 8 is arranged on the card. A rib 9 is made on the logo mounting hole. The card slot 8 cooperates with the rib 9. An extrusion sleeve 10 is arranged in the snap ring 6. An extrusion convex ring 14 is made at the lower part of the extrusion sleeve. The extrusion convex ring 14 contacts the card 7. An internal thread 11 is made in the extrusion sleeve. A support sleeve 12 is arranged on the snap ring 6. The support sleeve 12 abuts against the protective cover 2. A through hole 13 is made on the protective cover. It also includes a bolt 15. An external thread 16 is made on the bolt. The bolt 15 passes through the through hole 13 and is inserted into the extrusion sleeve 10. The external thread 16 cooperates with the internal thread 11. During installation, first remove the logo from the logo mounting hole 3, then install the snap ring 6 into the logo mounting hole 3 so that the card slot 8 on the card 7 cooperates with the rib 9. Then, insert the extrusion sleeve 10 into the snap ring 6 from below, place the support sleeve 12 on the snap ring 6, place the protective cover 2 on the wheel hub 1 so that the through hole 13, the support sleeve 12 and the extrusion sleeve 10 on the protective cover correspond. Finally, screw in the bolt 15. The external thread 16 on the bolt cooperates with the internal thread 11 in the extrusion sleeve. During the process of screwing in the bolt, under the cooperation of the external thread and the internal thread, a reaction force acts on the extrusion sleeve, which is equivalent to pulling the extrusion sleeve upward, so that the extrusion convex ring 14 on the extrusion sleeve forms an extrusion force on the card 7, tightly clamping the card slot 8 on the rib 9, and the clamping is very firm. The advantages of this solution are: First, the installation is convenient and firm; Second, the entire assembly process does not require installation tools and does not require professional operation. The car owner can also install it at home by himself, which can not only save costs but also be conducive to online sales; Third, the protective cover is an integral face mask, with a beautiful appearance, and only one set of processing molds is required, saving the mold investment cost.

[0015] Further, a card seat 17 is made on the snap ring 6, and a positioning rib 18 is made on the card seat. The support sleeve 12 is placed on the card seat 17. A positioning groove 19 is made in the support sleeve. The positioning rib 18 cooperates with the positioning groove 19 to prevent the support sleeve from rotating and make the cooperation between the support sleeve and the snap ring reliable.

[0016] Further, a limiting groove 20 is made on the support sleeve 12, and a limiting block 21 is made on the protective cover 2. The limiting block 21 cooperates with the limiting groove 20 to prevent the protective cover from shifting and make the cooperation between the support sleeve and the protective cover tight.

[0017] Further, a slope 22 is made on the card 7. The extrusion convex ring 14 cooperates with the slope 22 to make the cooperation between the extrusion convex ring and the card more fitting.

[0018] Further, the extrusion sleeve 10 can be made of flexible materials such as rubber for easy extrusion.

[0019] The above specific embodiments are used to explain the present utility model, which are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and scope of the claims of the present utility model fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
