[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobiles, and particularly relates to a universal hubcap mounting base. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry, as an important part of the vehicle appearance, hubcaps are increasingly valued by consumers. Hubcaps not only have an aesthetic effect but also can protect the wheels from the external environment. However, there are a wide variety of hubcaps on the market currently, and the hole pitches of the fixing screws for wheels of different brands and models are different, which brings great inconvenience to the installation of hubcaps.
[0003] In the prior art, the installation method of hubcaps is usually to set fixed hole diameters on the base in advance to adapt to the wheel hole pitches of specific vehicle models. This method requires hubcap manufacturers to design and manufacture hubcap mounting bases with different hole pitches according to the wheel hole pitches of different vehicle models. This not only increases production costs but also complicates inventory management, and at the same time increases the purchase cost and installation difficulty for consumers. In addition, the design of fixed hole diameters limits the universality of hubcaps, making it difficult for the same hubcap to adapt to wheels with different hole pitches and restricting the applicable range of hubcaps.
[0004] To address the above problems, some technical solutions propose to achieve the installation of hubcaps by adding adapters or adjustable components. However, these solutions usually have problems such as cumbersome installation processes and low adaptation accuracy, and it is difficult to meet the market demand. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a universal hubcap mounting base that can be compatible with wheels of different hole pitches to solve the problems existing in the prior art and improve the universality and installation convenience of hubcaps. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a universal hubcap mounting base.

[0022] All features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed, except mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.
[0023] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any additional claims, abstract and drawings), unless otherwise stated, may be replaced by other equivalent or alternative features with similar purposes. That is, unless otherwise stated, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
[0024] like Figures 1 - 5 As shown, a universal hub cover mounting base of the utility model comprises a hub 1, a plurality of fixing holes 2 are arranged in a circumference on the hub 1, and a fixing screw 3 is installed in each fixing hole 2;
[0025] The wheel hub cover 4 is also included, which is installed on the outside of the wheel hub 1. The wheel hub cover 4 is installed with a base 5, and the base 5 is fixedly connected to the wheel hub cover 4. The wheel hub cover 4 is fixedly connected to the fixing screws 3 of the wheel hub 1 through the base 5. A hole spacing adjustment groove 51 is provided on the base 5 corresponding to each fixing hole position 2. Figure 3 As shown, due to the provision of the aperture adjustment slot, the position of the fixing screw 3 can be adjusted in the hole spacing adjustment slot 51 for different fixing hole positions 2 on the wheel hub 1, so that different wheel hub covers 4 can meet the installation requirements of different models of wheel hubs 1, so that the same wheel hub cover 4 can adapt to wheel hubs 1 with different hole spacings, thereby significantly improving the versatility of the wheel hub cover 4, which not only simplifies the production process of the wheel hub cover 4, reduces the manufacturing cost and the complexity of inventory management, but also facilitates the installation and use of consumers, and reduces installation problems caused by mismatched hole spacing.
[0026] Wherein, a butt connector 7 is also provided corresponding to each fixing screw 3, and one end of each butt connector 7 is threadedly connected to the fixing screw 3.
