[0041] It is found through research that in the related art, the material of the automobile wheel cover is generally PPE+PA, ABS+PC, PA66-MD15 or PP-MD40, and one way of fixing the wheel cover on the wheel hub is through the clamping of the buckle clamping foot. If there is only a plastic buckle without a metal buckle, the plastic buckle will permanently deform due to creep after a long time, thereby causing the cover to fall off, so a metal buckle is needed to compensate for the permanent deformation of the plastic buckle (the material of the metal buckle is generally stainless steel SUS303 or SUS304).

[0042] In the related art, the following deficiencies exist when the current buckle and the wheel cover are assembled:

[0043] (1) The current V-shaped buckle design occupies a large space, and the scope of application is not wide enough. When the space is narrow, the buckle cannot be used.

[0044] (2) When the cover is installed on the wheel hub, it is installed blindly, and the plastic will deform outward. After the plastic buckle deforms, the metal buckle cannot be reset in the extreme case, thereby causing the metal buckle to fall off.

[0045] Therefore, how to avoid the above-mentioned shortcomings is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the art.

[0046] The defects of the above-mentioned solutions and the causes thereof are the results obtained by the inventors after practice and careful research, therefore, the discovery process of the above-mentioned problems and the solutions proposed by the present disclosure to solve the above-mentioned problems should be the contributions made by the inventors to the present disclosure in the process of the present disclosure.

[0047] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0048] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the case of no conflict, the embodiments described below and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0049] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 At least one embodiment provides a buckle structure for a wheel cover 2, comprising: a plastic buckle 1 arranged on the inner wall of the wheel cover 2; a reinforcing piece 3, one end of which abuts against the end wall of the plastic buckle 1; the reinforcing piece 3 of the embodiment is of metal material. When assembled, the positioning plate 13 of the reinforcing piece 3 abuts against the positioning table 10 of the plastic buckle end wall, and the reinforcing piece 3 elastically deforms to make the limiting block 32 at the other end clamped into the inner wall of the plastic buckle 1.

[0050] In the related art, the middle part of the reinforcing piece 3 is in U / V shape, and the two ends are respectively outwardly turned over, such reinforcing piece 3 occupies a larger space, therefore, a larger plastic buckle 1 is needed to cooperate. In the embodiment, the reinforcing piece 3 is provided with only one outwardly turned over positioning plate 31 at one end, the volume of the reinforcing piece 3 is reduced, thereby the space occupied by the reinforcing piece 3 is reduced. Through the optimization of the volume of the reinforcing piece 3, the space occupied by the reinforcing piece 3 is reduced under the condition of guaranteeing the original function, the range of use of the reinforcing piece 3 is greatly improved. At the same time, the installation difficulty of the reinforcing piece 3 to the wheel ornament cover 2 is reduced, and the assembly efficiency is improved. Since the space occupied by the reinforcing piece 3 is small, the corresponding plastic buckle 1 can be designed to be smaller, thereby the deformation amount of the plastic buckle 1 in blind assembly is reduced, the reinforcing piece 3 is more easily reset when the plastic buckle 1 is deformed, and the risk of buckle falling off is greatly reduced.

[0051] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 , the reinforcing piece 3 is in U / V shape, and the two end heads are at the same height. The reinforcing piece 3 is provided with a positioning plate 31 at one end; the positioning plate 31 is integrally arranged with the reinforcing piece 3. The plastic buckle 1 is provided with a positioning table 10 at one end, the positioning plate 31 abuts against the positioning table 10; the positioning plate 31 protrudes from the positioning table 10 when abutting against the positioning table 10. The limiting block 32 is arranged on the outer wall of the other end of the reinforcing piece 3; the other end inner wall of the plastic buckle 1 is provided with a positioning groove 11 matched with the limiting block 32; wherein, when the positioning plate 31 abuts against the positioning table 10, the reinforcing piece 3 is elastically deformed, so that the limiting block 32 is inserted into the positioning groove 11. Through the arrangement of the positioning plate 31 and the limiting block 32, when the reinforcing piece 3 is inserted into the plastic buckle 1, the effect of positioning the reinforcing piece 3 on the upper and lower sides is achieved.

[0052] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 2 , the two side walls of the plastic buckle 1 are respectively provided with a limiting strip 12, and the distance between the two limiting strips 12 is not less than the width of the reinforcing piece 3. Through the arrangement of multiple limiting strips 12, when the reinforcing piece 3 is inserted into the plastic buckle 1, the effect of positioning the reinforcing piece 3 in front and back is achieved, and the fixing effect between the reinforcing piece 3 and the plastic buckle 1 is further improved.

[0053] Continuing to refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 2 , the side wall of one end of the plastic buckle 1 close to the positioning table 10 is provided with two protrusions 13, the protrusions 13 are towards the positioning groove 11, and the protrusions 13 are adapted to abut against the outer wall of the reinforcing piece 3. The interference amount of the reinforcing piece 3 abutting against the protrusions 13 is 0.3-1mm. The setting of the interference amount makes the interference fit between the reinforcing piece 3 and the plastic buckle 1 more closely.

[0054] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 4The plastic buckle 1 is provided with a bevel protrusion 14 on the side wall close to the positioning groove 11, and the bevel protrusion 14 is adapted to abut against the sidewall of the automobile wheel.

[0055] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 At least one embodiment provides a buckle structure, comprising: a plastic buckle 1, which is internally provided with a containing groove, and the containing groove is internally provided with a positioning groove 11 on one side wall, and the other end wall of the containing groove is provided with a positioning platform 10; a reinforcing part 3, which is adapted to the containing groove, and one end is provided with a positioning plate 31, and the other end wall is provided with a limiting block 32; wherein when the positioning plate 31 abuts against the positioning platform 10, the reinforcing part 3 elastically deforms to make the limiting block 32 inserted into the positioning groove 11.

[0056] The reinforcing part 3 in the embodiment reduces the occupied space of the reinforcing part 3 under the condition of ensuring the original function, greatly improves the use range, reduces the installation difficulty of the reinforcing part 3 on the plastic buckle 1, and improves the assembly efficiency. Since the reinforcing part 3 occupies a small space, the corresponding plastic buckle 1 can be designed to be smaller, so that the deformation amount of the plastic buckle 1 in blind assembly is reduced, and the reinforcing part 3 is easier to reset when the plastic buckle 1 is deformed, thereby greatly reducing the risk of falling off.
