The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0047] In the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second" are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0048] The following will be described in detail Figures 1-13 The spare tire cover structure 10 and the vehicle 100 having the same according to embodiments of the present application are described in detail below.

[0049] Referring to Figures 1-3 As shown, the spare tire cover structure 10 according to embodiments of the present application includes a spare tire cover 1, a spare tire cover base 2, and a clamping structure 31 provided on at least one of the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2, the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2 are clamped and fixed by the clamping structure 31, and a spare tire mounting space is formed between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2.

[0050] Specifically, compared with the traditional complex connection mode, such as bolt fixation or complex buckle design, the clamping structure 31 makes the installation of the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2 more simple and fast, greatly reducing the installation time and effort. At the same time, the clamping structure 31 can make the connection between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2 more reliable, avoiding the occurrence of gaps leading to knocking abnormal noise, the clamping structure 31 can be provided in plurality, and the plurality of clamping structures 31 are arranged along the circumference of the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2, thereby forming a circumferential strong constraint at the connection and cooperation place of the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2. Even if encountering bumps, vibrations, etc., the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2 will not separate, improving the integrity and safety of the spare tire cover structure 10, and reducing the risk of loosening and abnormal noise of the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2. The use of the clamping structure 31 also simplifies the assembly and disassembly steps between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2, improving the convenience of assembly or disassembly of the spare tire cover structure 10.

[0051] Optionally, the clamping structure 31 can be mechanical, magnetic, etc.

[0052] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 9As shown, the clamping structure 31 is arranged on the spare tire cover base 2 for clamping the spare tire cover 1.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 As shown, the clamping structure 31 is arranged on the spare tire cover 1 for clamping the spare tire cover base 2.

[0054] In some embodiments not shown in the figure, the clamping structure 31 is arranged on the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2, the clamping structure 31 on the spare tire cover 1 is used for clamping the spare tire cover base 2, and the clamping structure 31 on the spare tire cover base 2 is used for clamping the spare tire cover 1.

[0055] In the related art, the spare tire cover structure is mostly fixedly connected by the clamping cooperation of the spare tire cover and the spare tire cover base, but the clamping cooperation is insufficiently constrained, resulting in looseness and abnormal sound between the spare tire cover and the spare tire cover base.

[0056] According to the spare tire cover structure 10 of the embodiments of the present application, the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2 are clamped by the clamping structure 31, which provides reliable connection between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2, and ensures that the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2 will not easily separate even in the case of bumps or vibrations, thereby reducing the risk of looseness and abnormal sound of the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 4-6 , Figures 8-10 As shown, the spare tire cover 1 includes a cover body 11 and a cover flange 12, the cover flange 12 is connected to the cover body 11, and the cover flange 12 extends towards the spare tire cover base 2 relative to the cover body 11. Specifically, the cover flange 12 extends to the left relative to the cover body 11, and when the spare tire cover 1 is installed, the cover flange 12 can form better cooperation and connection with the spare tire cover base 2.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 4-6 , Figures 8-10 As shown, the spare tire cover base 2 includes a base body 21 and a base flange 22, the base flange 22 is connected to the base body 21, and the base flange 22 extends towards the spare tire cover 1 relative to the base body 21. Specifically, the base flange 22 extends to the right relative to the base body 21, and when the spare tire cover base 2 is installed, the base flange 22 can form better cooperation and connection with the spare tire cover 1.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 4-6 , Figures 8-10 As shown, the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 are at least partially nested. For example, in the example shown in Figure 9 , the cover flange 12 is sleeved outside the base flange 22; in the example shown in Figure 10In the example shown in FIG. 1, the base flange 22 is sleeved outside the cover flange 12.

[0060] Specifically, the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 are at least partially nested, facilitating the use of the clamping structure 31 to connect the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22, effectively preventing relative displacement or loosening between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire base 2, reducing the abnormal noise caused by loosening, and greatly enhancing the stability of the spare tire cover structure 10. The at least partial nesting of the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 forms a relatively closed spare tire mounting space between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire base 2, effectively blocking foreign matter such as dust from entering the spare tire mounting space, and significantly improving the dustproof performance.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 4-10 As shown in FIG. 1, at least one of the surfaces of the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 is a clamping surface 3, and the clamping structure 31 is arranged on the clamping surface 3. Specifically, the clamping structure 31 is arranged on the clamping surface 3, so that the cover flange 12 of the spare tire cover 1 and the base flange 22 of the spare tire base 2 can form a tight and stable connection, ensuring the structural stability of the entire spare tire cover structure 10 under complex road conditions and long-term use.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 4-10 As shown in FIG. 1, the surface of the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 clamped by the clamping structure 31 is a clamped surface 4, and the clamped surface 4 is provided with a clamping groove 41 clamping the clamping structure 31. Specifically, the clamping structure 31 cooperates with the clamping groove 41 on the clamped surface 4, not only enabling the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire base 2 to be accurately positioned during installation, avoiding positional deviation or inaccurate installation during installation, but also enhancing the connection stability of the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire base 2, effectively preventing relative displacement of the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire base 2, and ensuring that the spare tire cover structure 10 always remains stable and reliable, providing continuous and stable protection for the spare tire. At the same time, the arrangement of the clamping groove 41 avoids the knocking noise between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire base 2.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 9 The cover flange 12 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the base flange 22; or, as shown in Figure 10As shown, the base flange 22 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the cover flange 12. Specifically, whether the cover flange 12 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the base flange 22 or the base flange 22 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the cover flange 12, it is convenient to connect the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 by using the clamping structure 31, which can effectively prevent the relative displacement or loosening between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2, greatly enhances the stability of the spare tire cover structure 10, and makes the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2 form a relatively closed spare tire mounting space, which can effectively block the foreign matter such as dust from entering the spare tire mounting space, and significantly improve the dustproof performance.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figures 8-9 As shown, the inner surface of the cover flange 12 is the clamping surface 3, the inner surface of the base flange 22 is the clamped surface 4, and the cover flange 12 is sleeved outside the base flange 22. The clamping structure 31 is arranged on the clamping surface 3, and the clamping structure 31 can clamp the base flange 22.

[0065] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 As shown, the inner surface of the base flange 22 is the clamping surface 3, the inner surface of the cover flange 12 is the clamped surface 4, and the base flange 22 is sleeved outside the cover flange 12. The clamping structure 31 is arranged on the clamping surface 3, and the clamping structure 31 can clamp the cover flange 12.

[0066] Optionally, the clamping groove 41 is a blind groove, so as to avoid dust and other foreign matter from entering when the clamping groove 41 is arranged as a through groove. Optionally, the depth of the clamping groove 41 can be 1mm, 2mm or other values. For example, in some embodiments, the depth of the clamping groove 41 is 1mm.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the clamping structure 31 includes a clamping rod 311 and an elastic member 312, the clamping rod 311 is rotatably installed on the clamping surface 3, and the elastic member 312 is adapted to exert a clamping force on the clamping rod 311 to make the clamping rod 311 clamp the clamped surface 4. Specifically, the elastic member 312 exerts a clamping force on the clamping rod 311, so that the clamping rod 311 can tightly fit on the clamped surface 4, that is, the clamping rod 311 and the clamping groove 41 on the clamped surface 4 realize stable clamping cooperation, which ensures that the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2 always maintain stable and reliable connection and will not be easily loosened or separated due to vibration, jolt and other factors.

[0068] Optionally, the number of clamping rods 311 on the clamping surface 3 can be one, two or more. Similarly, the number of elastic members 312 on the clamping surface 3 can be one, two or more. The number of clamping rods 311 and elastic members 312 is equal and one-to-one correspondence. For example Figure 2 ,Figure 3 As shown, the number of clamping rods 311 and elastic members 312 on the clamping surface 3 is multiple.

[0069] Optionally, the elastic member 312 can be a torsion spring, a spring, an elastic rubber block, an elastic spring piece, etc. For example Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the elastic member 312 is a torsion spring, and different specifications of torsion springs can be selected according to the clamping force required for the connection of the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2 to adapt to different situations.

[0070] Specifically, in order to clearly describe the clamping principle, the following description takes the inner surface of the cover flange 12 as the clamping surface 3 and the inner surface of the base flange 22 as the clamped surface 4 as an example for description. Referring to Figures 2-4 、 Figures 8-9 As shown, the bottom of the clamping rod 311 is designed with a rotating shaft feature and cooperates with the base 34 shaft hole of the clamping surface 3 to realize the rotation of the clamping rod 311 around the shaft. The rear part of the clamping rod 311 is provided with a torsion spring slot hole, the end of the torsion spring is pressed in the torsion spring slot hole of the clamping rod 311, and the lower end of the torsion spring is inserted into the insertion slot in the base 34 of the clamping surface 3 to fix the torsion spring. Under normal conditions, the torsion force of the torsion spring will make the clamping rod 311 flip around the shaft and clamp on the clamping surface 3, forming Figure 2 the clamping state in FIG. 7, the clamping rod 311, the torsion spring, the clamping surface 3, and the base 34 on the clamping surface 3 jointly complete the clamping operation of the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2. When the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2 are assembled, the edge of the base flange 22 of the spare tire cover base 2 will first touch the end part of the clamping rod 311, and then slide along the wedge-shaped surface of the end of the clamping rod 311, the clamping rod 311 flips around the shaft and slowly opens, forming Figure 3 the open state in FIG. 8, the torsion force of the torsion spring increases, the clamping force increases, the base flange 22 extends into the middle area between the end of the clamping rod 311 and the clamping surface 3, and the clamping rod 311 and the clamping surface 3 jointly clamp the base flange 22; when the spare tire cover 1 continues to be assembled inwardly, the end of the clamping rod 311 moves axially forward along the spare tire cover base 2 until the end of the clamping rod 311 moves into the clamping groove 41 of the clamped surface 4 of the spare tire cover base 2.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 4As shown, the clamping surface 3 comprises a clamping body surface 32 and a clamping protruding surface 33, the clamping protruding surface 33 protrudes from the clamping body surface 32, the end of the clamping rod 311 is arranged opposite to the clamping protruding surface 33, and the clamping rod 311 is suitable for clamping the clamping protruding surface 33 before the middle region of the clamping surface 3 between the end of the clamping rod 311 and the base flange 22 does not extend. Specifically, the clamping protruding surface 33 protrudes from the clamping body surface 32, so that the end of the clamping rod 311 can be accurately clamped with the clamping protruding surface 33, avoiding the clamping position deviation problem that may occur on the relatively flat clamping body surface 32. The arrangement of the clamping protruding surface 33 separates the spare tire cover base 2 from the clamping body surface 32, and the spare tire cover base 2 only contacts the clamping protruding surface 33, thereby reducing the buckling resistance between the spare tire cover base 2 and the spare tire cover 1, and further improving the connection stability between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2.

[0072] In some embodiments, the size of the clamping protruding surface 33 above the clamping body surface 3 can be 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, etc.

[0073] In some embodiments, the clamping surface 3 is formed by integrally molding the clamping body surface 32 and the clamping protruding surface 33 through injection molding technology.

[0074] In other embodiments, the clamping protruding surface 33 and the clamping body surface 32 are separate structures, and the clamping protruding surface 33 is installed on the clamping body surface 32.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the cover flange 12 or the base flange 22 is provided with a separation structure 5, and the separation structure 5 is suitable for separating the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22. Specifically, the separation structure 5 protrudes outward and abuts against the clamping surface 3, forming a gap between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire cover base 2, avoiding direct contact between the two. When the spare tire cover structure 10 shakes or moves, the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 may collide and rub each other to produce knocking noise. The separation structure 5 effectively blocks this direct contact, thereby reducing the possibility of producing knocking noise from the root.

[0076] In some embodiments not shown in the figure, the cover flange 12 is located on the radial inner side of the base flange 22, and the outer surface of the cover flange 12 is provided with an outward protruding separation structure 5.

[0077] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 8-9 As shown, the base flange 22 is located on the radial inner side of the cover flange 12, and the outer surface of the base flange 22 is provided with an outward protruding separation structure 5.

[0078] The following is an example with the base flange 22 located on the radial inner side of the cover flange 12.

[0079] In some embodiments not shown in the drawings, the isolation structure 5 is an integral structure with the base flange 22.

[0080] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 shown, the isolation structure 5 is an integral structure with the base flange 22, and the isolation structure 5 is installed on the isolation groove by means of adhesion.

[0081] Optionally, the isolation structure 5 can be one, two, three or more. For example Figure 8 shown, the isolation structure 5 is six, and the six isolation structures 5 are evenly distributed around the outer edge of the base flange 22.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 separated by the isolation structure 5 is 1mm-3mm, that is, the height of the isolation structure 5 is 1mm-3mm. Specifically, the isolation structure 5 forms an effective buffer interval between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire base 2, avoiding the influence of the interval on the sealing performance, and also avoiding the direct collision between the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 to produce knocking abnormal noise.

[0083] Optionally, the distance between the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 separated by the isolation structure 5 can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm or any other value within 1mm-3mm. For example, the distance between the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 separated by the isolation structure 5 can be 2mm.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the clamping structure 31 is multiple. Thus, the multiple clamping structures 31 significantly enhance the connection strength between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire base 2, effectively prevent the loose and disengagement caused by excessive local stress, and ensure that the spare tire cover structure 10 is always firmly installed in the corresponding position under complex and variable driving conditions.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the multiple clamping structures 31 are arranged in parallel. Specifically, the multiple clamping structures 31 are arranged in parallel, so that when the spare tire cover structure 10 is subjected to complex external forces such as jolting and vibration, these complex external forces can be dispersed to each clamping structure 31, which can make the connection between the spare tire cover 1 and the spare tire base 2 more evenly stressed, avoiding the connection loose or failure caused by excessive stress on a single clamping structure 31, providing reliable protection for the spare tire, and preventing displacement or exposure caused by external forces.

[0086] Optionally, the clamping structure 31 can be one, two, three or more. For example Figure 4As shown, the clamping structures 31 are 12, and the corresponding clamping rods 311 and elastic members 312 are also 12. The spare tire cover 1 is a regular hexagonal form, and two clamping structures are symmetrically arranged on each side, totaling twelve clamping structures 31, which are used to clamp and constrain the periphery of the spare tire cover base 2.

[0087] In some embodiments not shown in the drawings, the clamping structures 31 are multiple. Some clamping structures 31 are arranged on the spare tire cover 1, and the other clamping structures 31 are arranged on the spare tire cover base 2.

[0088] In some embodiments not shown in the drawings, the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22 are in contact without being nested with each other. That is, the end of the cover flange 12 away from the cover body 11 is in contact with the end of the base flange 22 away from the base body 21. The clamping structures 31 are multiple, and the multiple clamping structures 31 are arranged on at least one of the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22. For example, the clamping structures 31 are arranged on the cover flange 12 for clamping the base flange 22. For another example, the clamping structures 31 are arranged on the base flange 22 for clamping the cover flange 12. For another example, the clamping structures 31 are arranged on the cover flange 12 and the base flange 22, and the clamping structures 31 on the cover flange 12 are used to clamp the base flange 22, and the clamping structures 31 on the base flange 22 are used to clamp the cover flange 12.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 11 As shown, the spare tire cover structure 10 further comprises a cover support 6 arranged in the spare tire mounting space, and the cover body 11 is connected with the cover support 6 through the first fastener 71. Specifically, the first fastener 71 fixedly connects the cover body 11 and the cover support 6, and the cover support 6 can be directly or indirectly mounted on the to-be-mounted member 20. In this way, the cover support 6 provides an additional support structure for the cover body 11, so that the cover body 11 can obtain more stable support, and at the same time, the external force borne by the cover body 11 is dispersed, avoiding the situation that the spare tire cover 1 is deformed or damaged due to insufficient strength of itself, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the spare tire cover 1 and ensuring that it can continuously and effectively play a protective role on the spare tire.

[0090] Optionally, the cover support 6 can be disc-shaped, rectangular flake-shaped, oval-shaped or other shapes.

[0091] In the related art, the central area of ​​the spare tire cover is fixed to the camera bracket via two screws, resulting in insufficient restraint. This application, by providing a cover bracket 6, increases the restraint area and force near the axis of the spare tire cover structure 10, creating a strong restraint in the central area. This avoids loosening and abnormal noise in the central area of ​​the spare tire cover structure 10, improves the durability of the central area of ​​the spare tire cover structure 10, and reduces cracking in the central area of ​​the spare tire cover structure 10. At the same time, when the spare tire cover 1 is assembled with the spare tire cover base 2, the end of the clamping rod 311 moves forward axially along the spare tire cover base 2 until the end of the clamping rod 311 moves into the clamping groove 41 of the clamped surface 4 of the spare tire cover base 2. At this point, the top of the spare tire cover 1 contacts and cooperates with the end face of the cover bracket 6, achieving axial position limitation of the spare tire cover 1.

[0092] Optionally, the first fastener 71 may be a bolt, a screw, a rivet, a snap, etc. For example Figure 1 As shown, the first fastener 71 may be a bolt.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 1 、 Figures 4-7 As shown, the cover body 11 is provided with at least one mounting groove 111. A first mounting hole 1111 is defined in the wall of the mounting groove 111. The first mounting hole 1111 is provided for the first fastener 71 to pass through. The spare tire cover structure 10 further includes a decorative cover plate 81, which is mounted within the mounting groove 111. Specifically, the mounting groove 111 and the decorative cover plate 81 provide a concealed space for the first fastener 71, so that the first fastener 71 used to connect the cover body 11 and the cover bracket 6 is no longer exposed, making the spare tire cover structure 10 more neat and aesthetically pleasing.

[0094] Optionally, the number of the mounting grooves 111 may be one, two, three or more. The number of the first mounting holes 1111 in any mounting groove 111 may be one, two, three or more. Meanwhile, the shape of the mounting groove 111 may be polygonal, circular, curved, crescent or any other shape. Accordingly, the decorative cover plate 81 corresponds to the shape of the mounting groove 111. For example Figures 5-7As shown, the first mounting hole 1111 is shared by 5, and the 5 first mounting holes 1111 are distributed in the circumferential direction of the shaft of the cover body 11. For example, the 5 first mounting holes 1111 can be evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the shaft of the cover body 11 at an angle of 72°. The mounting groove 111 is two crescent-shaped grooves, and is distinguished according to size as a large crescent-shaped groove and a small crescent-shaped groove, wherein there are three first mounting holes 1111 in the large crescent-shaped groove, and there are two first mounting holes 1111 in the small crescent-shaped groove. Correspondingly, the decorative cover plate 81 has two, and is distinguished according to size as a large crescent-shaped cover plate and a small crescent-shaped cover plate. The large crescent-shaped groove is provided with six clamping grooves (three on the upper arc-shaped edge and three on the lower arc-shaped edge), and the six clamping grooves correspondingly arranged on the large crescent-shaped cover plate are clamped by six clamping rods. The small crescent-shaped groove is provided with five clamping grooves (two clamping grooves are arranged on the upper arc-shaped edge, and three clamping grooves are arranged on the lower arc-shaped edge), and the five clamping grooves correspondingly arranged on the small crescent-shaped cover plate are clamped by five clamping rods to form a cooperation and constraint, thereby ensuring the beauty of the spare tire cover 1.

In other words, the camera support 9 extends to the right side of the spare tire cover 1 through the cover through hole 112, and the camera is mounted on the right end of the camera support 9. Specifically, by extending the camera support 9 out of the spare tire cover 1, the space of the spare tire cover structure 10 is fully utilized without affecting the rear view, so that the space utilization of the vehicle 100 is more reasonable and efficient, and the overall layout of the vehicle 100 is kept simple.

[0096] Optionally, the cover through hole 112 can be a round hole, a square hole, a curved hole, etc. For example Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the cover through hole 112 is a round hole, and the hole wall of the cover through hole 112 is separated from the outer peripheral surface of the camera support 9, for example, the distance between the hole wall of the cover through hole 112 and the single side dimension of the camera support 9 is 2mm, so that the camera support 9 can smoothly extend to the right side of the spare tire cover 1 through the cover through hole 112 without affecting the rear view.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 12 As shown, the camera support 9 and the cover support 6 are connected by the second fastener 72.

In other words, the bracket flange 62 is connected with the bracket body 61 and extends towards the left side. Specifically, the camera bracket 9 is arranged in the first weight-reducing hole 611, so that the camera bracket 9 can further extend out of the cover through-hole 112. The provision of the first weight-reducing hole 611 effectively reduces the amount of material used, saves costs, and reduces the weight of the spare tire cover structure 10 under the premise of not affecting the structural strength and function of the cover bracket 6. When the spare tire cover structure 10 is installed on the vehicle 100, it is beneficial to reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle 100 during driving and improve fuel economy.

[0100] Optionally, the bracket flange 62 can be one, two, or more. For example Figure 11 As shown in the drawings, the bracket flange 62 is two.

[0101] In some embodiments, the bracket body 61 has a first through hole 613, the number of the first through hole 613 is consistent with the number of the first mounting hole 1111 on the cover body 11, and the first fastener 71 connects the first through hole 613 and the corresponding first mounting hole 1111.

[0102] Optionally, the number of the first through hole 613 can be one, two, three, or more, for example Figure 11 As shown in the drawings, the bracket body 61 is disc-shaped, and the disc circumference is uniformly distributed with five first through holes 613. The five first through holes 613 are respectively connected with the corresponding first mounting holes 1111 in the cover body 11 through five first fasteners 71, so that the bracket body 61 is fixed in the middle of the spare tire cover 1.

[0103] In some embodiments, the boss 91 of the camera bracket 9 has a second through hole 911, and the second mounting hole 621 and the second through hole 911 are connected by the second fastener 72.

[0104] Optionally, the second mounting hole 621 can be one, two or more, and the number of the second mounting hole 621 is consistent with the number of the second through hole 911. If the second fastener 72 is a bolt, the second mounting hole 621 is a threaded hole. For example Figure 11 As shown, the second mounting hole 621 is two, and correspondingly, the boss 91 is two, the second through hole 911 is two, and the bracket flange 62 is also two, and the boss 91 and the bracket flange 62 are symmetrically distributed.

[0105] In some embodiments, the side edge of the bracket flange 62 is connected to the bracket body 61 by the reinforcing rib 63. In this way, the structural strength of the root of the bracket flange 62 is enhanced. Optionally, the reinforcing rib 63 on any bracket flange 62 can be one, two or more. For example Figure 11 As shown, the reinforcing rib 63 on any bracket flange 62 is two.

In this way, the second weight-reducing hole 612 is provided, which further reduces the material usage of the cover bracket 6, saves the cost, improves the material utilization rate, reduces the weight of the spare tire cover structure 10, and is beneficial to reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle 100 during driving when the spare tire cover structure 10 is installed on the vehicle 100, and improves the fuel economy.

[0108] Optionally, the second weight-reducing hole 612 can be one, two, three or more, and a plurality of second weight-reducing holes 612 are symmetrically arranged. For example Figure 11 As shown, the second weight-reducing hole 612 is two, and the second weight-reducing hole 612 is symmetrically arranged.

[0109] In some embodiments, the second weight-reducing hole 612 is different from the extension direction of the first weight-reducing hole 611. For example Figure 1 As shown, the first weight-reducing hole 611 extends in the transverse direction, and the second weight-reducing hole 612 extends in the vertical direction.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 13As shown, the spare tire cover structure 10 also includes a spare tire cover bracket 82, which is suitable for mounting the camera bracket 9.
