DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a hubcap includes a hubcap body 1 and a hub 2 for mounting to the body 1. The hub 2 has a central hole 3. The body 1 includes a base 4, a housing 5, and a cover 6 connected to each other. A connecting part 7 is provided between the base 4 and the hub 2. The body 1 is mounted on the central hole 3 through the connecting part 7, serving to decorate the hub 2. A support member 8 is provided inside the body 1, supporting the inner side of the connecting part 7. The support member 8, while connecting the connecting part 7 to the hub 2, further enhances the connection strength of the connecting part 7, increases its service life, and prevents the body 1 from falling off due to prolonged rotation of the hub 2, ensuring good product quality and a good user experience.

[0025] The connecting part 7 includes a first boss 9 extending inward from the inner wall of the central hole 3 in an annular shape and several first connecting blocks 10 distributed in an annular shape at the end of the base 4. The end of the first connecting block 10 is provided with a first buckle 11 protruding outward. During assembly, the base 4 is placed on top of the first boss 9 to prevent the base 4 from being embedded too deeply. The first buckle 11 and the first boss 9 cooperate to achieve a snap-fit, making it difficult to fall off.

[0026] The top of the housing 4 is provided with a cover mounting groove 12 that adapts to the contour of the cover 6, and the cover 6 is installed in the cover mounting groove 12. A snap-fit ​​part 13 is provided between the cover 6 and the housing 5, and the cover 6 is connected to the housing 5 through the snap-fit ​​part 13.

[0027] The snap-fit ​​part 13 includes a second protrusion 14 extending inward from the inner wall of the housing 5 and several second connecting blocks 15 arranged in a ring at the bottom of the cover 6. The ends of the second connecting blocks 15 are provided with second buckles 16 protruding outward. The connection is achieved by snapping the second buckles 16 onto the ends of the second protrusions 14, making it difficult to fall off.

[0028] The first buckle 11 and the second buckle 16 are provided with guide portions 17 at their ends. The guide portions 17 are inclined slopes. During the installation process of snapping in from top to bottom, the first buckle 11 and the second buckle 16 can be snapped into the ends of the first boss 9 and the second boss 14 more easily along the inclined guide portions 17, which helps the user with assembly.

[0029] The upper end of the first buckle 11 and the second buckle 16 is provided with a first inclined surface 18, the end of the first boss 9 and the second boss 14 is provided with a second inclined surface 19 matched with the first inclined surface 18, and the first inclined surface 18 is attached to the second inclined surface 19 when the assembly is completed, so that the contact area is increased, the connecting strength of the buckling is increased, and the buckling is not easy to fall off.

[0030] The support 8 comprises a circular elastic support, and the support 8 is provided with a gap 20, so that the first support 8 is not connected at the beginning, and the elastic support 8 is deformed when being pressed, and is reset by the elastic force and supports the surrounding first connecting block 10 after the stress is removed.

[0031] The inner side of the first connecting block 10 is provided with an arc-shaped assembly groove 21 matched with the profile of the support 8, and the support is installed in the assembly groove 21. When assembling, the support 8 is first pressed to close the gap 20, and then installed in the assembly groove 21, and after the hand is released, the gap 20 of the support 8 is reopened by the elastic force and supports the first connecting block 10.

[0032] The bottom of the shell 5 is provided with a mounting groove 22 matched with the base 4, and the base 4 is installed in the mounting groove 22, so that the stability of the installation of the base 4 is increased, and the base 4 is fixed by a screw.

[0033] The shell 5 comprises an aluminum alloy shell, which has high strength and is not easy to be damaged, and has a relatively good texture.

[0034] It is obvious for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and therefore all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application, and any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims.
