Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a self-tight type wheel rim decorative cover and belongs to the technical field of automobiles. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of commercial vehicles, the wheels generally have steel wheel rims and aluminum alloy wheel rims. Steel wheel rims are widely used in the field because their cost is slightly lower than that of aluminum alloy wheel rims. A wheel rim decorative cover is usually installed on the outside of the steel wheel rim. Its function is to prevent dust and sundries from entering, thereby protecting the brake disc and other mechanical components from damage. In addition, the design of the wheel rim decorative cover helps to improve the appearance of the vehicle. By installing the wheel rim decorative cover on the hub center, the overall appearance of the vehicle can also be improved.

[0003] Currently, the wheel rim decorative covers on the market are usually one-piece, that is, the positioning clamping feet, the limiting clamping feet, and the cover plate body are one whole. Therefore, during installation, the root of the clamping feet is prone to plastic deformation, and the clamping feet are prone to breakage. When the vehicle is running, there is a risk of falling off, which may cause safety and after-sales quality problems. Moreover, there are inconvenient situations for installation or disassembly, which affects the efficiency of the installation personnel at work.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the prior art to solve the problems of the prior art. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model provides a self-tight type wheel rim decorative cover to solve the problems of the prior art. The self-tight type wheel rim decorative cover can reduce the risk of breakage of the positioning clamping feet during installation of the existing wheel rim decorative cover and improve the installation efficiency.

[0006] The utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a self-tight type wheel rim decorative cover is installed on a steel wheel rim and includes a cover plate body and positioning clamping feet with a moving slider installed on the cover plate body. A recessed part is recessed on the cover plate body. A sliding groove is formed on the bottom surface of the recessed part. The moving slider slides along the sliding groove. An elastic element is installed between the two positioning clamping feet. A clamping groove is provided on the surface of the two positioning clamping feet facing the elastic element. The elastic element includes an elastic element mounting block installed in the clamping groove and a spring installed between the two elastic element mounting blocks.

[0007] Further, the end of the positioning clamping foot away from the moving slider is bent outward to form a positioning clasp.

[0008] Further, a reinforcing rib is integrally formed between the moving slider and the positioning clamping foot.

[0009] Further, when the wheel rim decorative cover is installed on the steel wheel rim, the positioning clasp is pressed on the inner ring of the steel wheel rim.

[0010] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The self-tightening rim decorative cover of the present invention can reduce the risk of the positioning clip breaking during installation, and at the same time improve the installation efficiency. Attached image description:

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] This utility model relates to a self-tightening rim decorative cover, comprising a cover plate body 1 and a positioning foot 3 with a movable slider 2 mounted on the cover plate body 1. The cover plate body 1 has a recessed portion 10, and the bottom surface of the recessed portion 10 has a groove 100, along which the movable slider 2 can slide. The end of the positioning foot 3 away from the movable slider 2 is bent outward to form a positioning buckle 30. A reinforcing rib 20 is integrally formed between the movable slider 2 and the positioning foot 3 to increase the strength of the positioning foot 3.

[0019] An elastic element is installed between two positioning feet 3, and a groove 8 is provided on the surface of the two positioning feet 3 facing the elastic element. The elastic element includes an elastic element mounting block 4 installed in the groove 8 and a spring 5 installed between the two elastic element mounting blocks 4.

[0020] During installation of this self-tightening rim decorative cover: First, press the rim decorative cover against the center hole of the steel rim 6 towards the steel ring, so that the positioning clip 3 is subjected to a force along the plane of the steel rim spokes towards the center of the rim decorative cover. Figure 6 Apply a force in the X direction. At this time, the slider 2 moves along the groove 100 towards the center of the rim decorative cover, while the spring 5 is compressed until the rim decorative cover is installed on the steel rim. Finally, because the spring 5 has a tendency to return to its original length, the positioning buckle 30 is pressed onto the inner ring of the steel rim, thus completing the fixation. During disassembly, on the inside of the steel ring, the disassembly personnel apply force to the two positioning clips 3 as follows:Figure 6 The force along the X direction makes the sliding block 2 move along the sliding groove 100 to the center of the rim cover, the spring 5 is compressed at the same time, and then the rim cover is pushed out to the outside of the steel ring, so that the disassembly is completed.

[0021] The above only is the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application under the premise of can also make a number of improvements, these improvements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
