Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to automotive parts, and in particular to a ring-shaped frame for replacing snap rings. Background Technology

[0002] Existing floating car emblems are generally fixed to the wheel hub by engaging with a locking foot and a retaining spring. For example, a floating car emblem with Chinese patent publication number CN218805621U includes a base, a faceplate, and a decorative panel. A bearing seat is located in the middle of the base, containing a bearing. A rotating column is located in the middle of the back of the decorative panel, integrally injection molded with the decorative panel. The lower end of the rotating column forms a first locking foot, and a limiting post is provided on the outer wall of the rotating column. The bearing is secured between the first locking foot and the limiting post. A counterweight is located on one side of the back of the decorative panel. The edge of the faceplate has a threaded cap formed by two-color injection molding, with external threads on the outer wall of the threaded cap. The base includes a base plate and a side panel located at the edge of the base plate. The inner wall of the side panel has internal threads, and the threaded cap engages with the side panel threadedly. A sealing ring is provided between the threaded cap and the side panel. This type of locking foot requires a retaining spring, which is a metal component, heavy, and costly to manufacture. Furthermore, the retaining spring requires force to deform and insert into the inside of the locking foot, making assembly somewhat difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a ring-shaped skeleton to replace the snap ring.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a ring-shaped frame, including a ring-shaped base plate and a ring-shaped side plate disposed on the outer edge of the ring-shaped base plate. The ring-shaped base plate and the ring-shaped side plate form an accommodating space. The ring-shaped base plate is provided with a plurality of first locking holes, and the ring-shaped side plate is provided with a plurality of through holes. A second locking foot is disposed in each of the through holes, and the second locking foot is integrally formed with the ring-shaped side plate. The principle of this utility model is as follows: the ring-shaped frame cooperates with a floating car emblem. The base of the floating car emblem is disposed within the accommodating space of the ring-shaped frame. The shape of the accommodating space is similar to the shape of the base, restricting the movement of the base. In addition, the first locking foot on the base cooperates with the first locking holes on the ring-shaped frame to fix the two together. During installation, the ring-shaped frame is placed into the wheel center hole. The ring-shaped frame is fixed by engaging with the inner wall of the wheel center hole through the second locking foot on the side. Therefore, the use of retaining springs can be reduced, and the ring-shaped frame structure can replace the function of retaining springs.

[0005] As an improvement, the first locking hole is evenly distributed around the circumference, the second locking foot is evenly distributed around the circumference, and the first locking hole and the second locking foot are staggered.

[0006] As an improvement, the second card foot includes a card and a card platform disposed on the outer surface of the card, wherein the upper and lower ends of the card are connected to an annular side plate.

[0007] As an improvement, the inner side of the ring frame is provided with several protrusions at the connection between the ring base plate and the ring side plate, and the protrusions abut against the base.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0009] The first locking foot on the base engages with the first locking hole on the ring frame to secure the two together. The ring frame is secured by the second locking foot on the side engaging with the inner wall of the wheel center hole. The ring frame structure can replace the function of the retaining spring, reducing the use of retaining springs. Attached Figure Description

[0010] Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the floating car logo.

[0011] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a ring-shaped skeleton. Detailed Implementation

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, a floating car emblem includes a base 6, a faceplate 1 that mates with the base 6, an emblem cover 2 that is rotatably connected to the base 6, a counterweight 4 on the emblem cover 2, a first locking foot 7 on the back of the base 6, and an annular frame 8 that mates with the base 6. The base 6 has a groove, and the faceplate 1 mates with the base 6 to form a closed space, within which the emblem cover 2 is located. The bottom surface of the base 6 is flat, and the groove of the base 6 has a cylindrical space enclosed by the third locking foot 5. A bearing 3 is located within the cylindrical space, and a pivot is located on the back of the emblem cover 2. The pivot mates with the bearing, allowing the emblem cover 2 to rotate freely on the base 6. The annular frame 8 includes an annular base plate 81 and an annular side plate 82 disposed on the outer edge of the annular base plate 81. The annular base plate 81 and the annular side plate 82 form an accommodating space. The base 6 is disposed within the accommodating space, and the shape of the base 6 is similar to the shape of the accommodating space. The annular base plate 81 is provided with a plurality of first locking holes 84 that cooperate with the first locking feet 7. The base 6 is connected and fixed to the annular frame 8 through the cooperation of the first locking feet 7 and the first locking holes 84. The annular side plate 82 is provided with a plurality of through holes 85, and a second locking hole is disposed within the through hole 85. The second locking foot 86 is integrally formed with the annular side plate 82. The second locking foot 86 includes a card and a locking platform on the outer surface of the card. The upper and lower ends of the card are connected to the annular side plate 82. The first locking hole 84 is evenly distributed around the circumference, and the second locking foot 86 is evenly distributed around the circumference. The first locking hole 84 and the second locking foot 86 are staggered. The inner side of the annular frame 8 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 83 at the connection between the annular base plate 81 and the annular side plate 82. The protrusions 83 abut against the base 6 to enhance the locking tightness of the first locking foot 7.

[0014] The principle of this utility model is as follows: The base 6 is located within the accommodating space of the annular frame 8. The shape of the accommodating space is similar to that of the base 6, which restricts the movement of the base 6. In addition, the first locking foot 7 on the base 6 cooperates with the first locking hole 84 on the annular frame 8 to fix the two together. During installation, the annular frame 8 is placed into the wheel center hole. The annular frame 8 is fixed by engaging with the inner wall of the wheel center hole through the second locking foot 86 on the side. In this way, the use of retaining springs can be reduced, and the structure of the annular frame 8 can replace the function of retaining springs.
