Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically, to an assembly structure for automotive wheel hub decorative covers. Background Technology

[0002] Because different wheel rim styles have slightly different mounting holes (PCD holes) relative to the valve stem, the logo on the wheel rim cover is usually designed to face the valve stem for aesthetic purposes. To meet this requirement, the wheel rim cover needs to be designed as a two-part structure: an upper cover (logo cover) and a lower cover (main body of the cover). The lower cover conforms to the PCD hole orientation, while the upper cover conforms to the logo orientation, and the two are connected by clips. Currently, because both orientations need to be met simultaneously—the lower cover has two mounting positions for the upper cover (formed directly during the injection molding process of the lower cover)—installation errors can easily occur during production. Specifically, the clips on the upper cover may engage the unnecessary mounting position, resulting in the logo being installed in the wrong orientation and not aligned with the valve stem. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention provides an assembly structure for automotive wheel hub decorative covers, which can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] This utility model provides an assembly structure for a car wheel hub decorative cover, including a matching upper cover and a lower cover. The upper cover is provided with a buckle, and the lower cover is provided with two tube positions for attaching the buckle, namely tube position A and tube position B. A plastic strip is provided at tube position B, which is set along the width direction of tube position B, with both ends connected to the two side walls of tube position B, and has an injection molding joint line in the middle.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: the plastic strip and the lower cover are integrally injection molded.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the plastic strip is formed by injecting fluid plastic from both ends to the middle, thus forming the injection molding joint line.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] By setting a plastic strip at the B-pipe position of the lower cover and utilizing the fracture principle of the injection molding joint line, the problem of easy error in the assembly direction of the decorative cover is effectively solved, ensuring that the logo direction of the wheel hub decorative cover is consistent with the direction of the valve stem, significantly improving assembly accuracy and reducing human error.

[0010] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, embodiments of this utility model are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0011] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of this utility model and should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0012] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the lower cover and upper cover described in the embodiment;

[0013] Figure 2 This is an enlarged view of the design structure of the plastic strip in the lower cover as described in the embodiment;

[0014] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the upper cover being assembled onto the lower cover in the first assembly direction, with the buckle locked in position A in the embodiment.

[0015] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the upper cover being assembled onto the lower cover in the second assembly direction, with the buckle locked in position B in the embodiment.

[0016] In the diagram: 1. Lower cover; 2. Pipe position B; 3. Pipe position A; 4. Plastic strip; 5. Upper cover; 6. Buckle foot; 7. Injection molding connection line. Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides an assembly structure for a car wheel hub decorative cover, including a matching upper cover 5 and a lower cover 1. The upper cover 5 is provided with a buckle 6, and the lower cover 1 is provided with two tube positions for attaching the buckle 6, namely tube position A 3 and tube position B 2. A plastic strip 4 is provided in tube position B 2. The plastic strip 4 is provided along the width direction of tube position B 2, and its two ends are respectively connected to the two side walls of tube position B 2, and the middle position has an injection molding joint line 7.

[0019] The plastic strip 4 and the lower cover 1 are integrally injection molded. The plastic strip 4 is formed by injecting fluid plastic from both ends towards the middle, thus forming the injection molding joint line 7, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 As shown.

[0020] In this invention, the decorative cover simultaneously satisfies two assembly directions, and a plastic strip 4 is provided on the pipe position (i.e., pipe position B 2) in the less commonly used direction for identification and to prevent installation errors.

[0021] When assembling the upper cover 5 onto the lower cover 1 in the usual assembly direction, use the corresponding latches 6 of the upper cover 5 to secure it within pipe position 3 (see figure). Figure 3 As shown.

[0022] When assembling the upper cover 5 in a less common assembly direction onto the lower cover 1, place the corresponding clip 6 of the upper cover 5 on the B-pipe position 2, directly aligning it with the B-pipe position 2, and directly press the plastic strip 4 off. Then, it can be smoothly installed onto the B-pipe position 2. (See...) Figure 4 As shown.

[0023] The plastic strip 4 cleverly utilizes the principle that a bonding line is created at the confluence of two plastic streams. This bonding line is prone to breakage, making it easy for the clip 6 to break the plastic strip 4 when installing in direction B. By adding the plastic strip 4 and utilizing the principle that the bonding line is prone to breakage, the installation requirements for both directions can be met while preventing incorrect installation direction.

[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
