[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] In conjunction with the embodiments and appendices Figure 1-5 An external spare tire cover includes a first ring cover that extends vertically and a cover body for sealing the upper surface of the first ring cover. The cover body includes a second ring cover 12 that extends vertically and a sealing plate 11 for sealing the upper surface of the second ring cover 12. The bottom of the second ring cover 12 is connected to a fixing ring 15 for inserting the first ring cover. The sealing plate 11 and a mounting plate 14 are horizontally installed on the inner side wall of the second ring cover. The sealing plate 11 is located above the mounting plate 14. A lamp body 141 is provided on the upper surface of the mounting plate 14. A light-transmitting hole 110 is reserved at the position where the sealing plate 11 is opposite to the lamp body 141. A light-transmitting plate 112 covering the light-transmitting hole 110 is also provided on the sealing plate 11.
[0021] Furthermore, the inner wall of the second ring cover 12 extends radially to form an annular plate 13, and the upper end face of the annular plate 13 is detachably connected to the sealing plate 11. The second ring cover and the annular plate allow for detachable connection between the sealing plate and the cover body. When it is necessary to replace the sealing plate with a different light-transmitting hole, the sealing plate can simply be detached from the annular plate. Users can directly replace the sealing plate on the upright spare tire cover, eliminating the need to unlock the first ring cover.
[0022] Furthermore, a light-transmitting plate 112 is fixed to the lower end face of the sealing plate 11. The light-transmitting plate 112 is made of transparent or semi-transparent acrylic. A lamp body circuit is also fixed on the mounting plate. The lamp body circuit is equipped with a controller and a lamp body power supply. The controller is connected to the vehicle chip to control the connection of the lamp body circuit.
[0023] An external spare tire cover comprises a first piece 2 connected end to end to form a first annular cover with a circumferential notch, the two ends of the first piece 2 being detachably connected by a spare tire latch 5. The spare tire cover also includes a bottom ring, which is inserted into the lower edge of the annular cover to provide collision buffer between the first piece and the vehicle body.
[0024] Furthermore, the second ring cover 12 is detachably connected to the first ring cover via a locking assembly 4. The locking assembly 4 includes a plurality of duckbill fasteners 41 located on the outer side wall of the second ring cover and a plurality of duckbill actuating elements located on the outer side wall of the first piece.
[0025] An external spare tire cover has insertion grooves 30 on the opposite sides of the bottom ring 32 and the fixing ring 15, which are opposite to the first piece 2. The bottom ring is made of elastic material, and the fixing ring is made of metal. During assembly, the bottom ring is first passed through the spare tire cover, and then the first annular cover is fitted onto the outside of the spare tire cover and inserted into the bottom ring to assist in shaping. At this time, the spare tire lock can be locked to complete the shaping operation of the first piece. After shaping, the cover and the annular cover are inserted and assembled through the insertion groove on the fixing ring. The mounting bolts are then passed through the mounting holes reserved in the center of the sealing plate and the mounting plate to fix the spare tire cover to the vehicle body. Finally, the locking assembly is used to lock it, completing the installation operation of the spare tire cover.
[0026] An external spare tire cover has a slot 30 that is clearance-fitted with a first piece 2, and the slot 30 is provided with a variable diameter section 301 with gradually increasing width. The variable diameter section 301 facilitates the alignment and insertion / removal operation when the first piece is removed or inserted.
[0027] An external spare tire cover has a vent 302 on the fixing ring 15 that radially penetrates the variable diameter section 301 to facilitate exhaust pressure balance and prevent deformation of the insertion groove.
[0028] An external spare tire cover has a sealing plate 11 and an annular plate 13 that are detachably connected by screws 111. The lower end face of the sealing plate 11 is in contact with the upper end face of the annular plate 13. The annular plate 13 has a ring width of 3-5cm. The horizontal plane of the sealing plate 11 is lower than the upper edge of the second ring cover 12. The cover is fixed by screws so that the whole cover is tightly installed, reducing vibration and abnormal noise caused by vehicle operation.
[0029] An external spare tire cover has a first positioning magnetic block 113 fixed to the lower end face of the cover plate 11, and a second positioning magnetic block 142 fixed to the upper end face of the mounting plate 14, which magnetically engages with the first positioning magnetic block 113. The magnetic engagement improves the tightness of the connection between the cover plate and the second ring cover, preventing vibration of the cover plate relative to the mounting plate. On the other hand, it allows the cover plate to be accurately positioned with the mounting plate by the first and second positioning magnetic blocks during disassembly and assembly, even if the screws are only partially fixed, making it less prone to slippage and misalignment, improving the installation accuracy of the warning pattern, preventing skewness, and improving the safety of the installation process. After all the screws are removed, the magnetic engagement of the first and second positioning magnetic blocks can be released simply by rotating the cover plate.
[0030] Furthermore, the mounting plate 14 is also provided with several through holes 143 to reduce the weight of the mounting plate.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
