Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spare tire cover technology, specifically a rear-mounted spare tire cover assembly for vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional SUVs often have their spare tires fixed to the outside of the tailgate. To prevent the spare tire from being exposed to sunlight, aging, etc., a spare tire cover is needed to be installed on the outside of the spare tire. Currently, the main problems with spare tire covers in China are that they are difficult to open and install when changing a spare tire, and the internal assembly structure of the spare tire cover will resonate when the tailgate is opened and closed or when the vehicle is in motion.

[0003] A search revealed that patent application CN205891028U discloses a spare tire cover for vehicles and a vehicle equipped with the spare tire cover. The cover includes an outer frame and a tire cover lock for connecting the two ends of the outer frame. The outer frame is detachably assembled with a lock cover. When the outer frame and the lock cover are detached, the tire cover lock is exposed. The outer frame and the lock cover are assembled by a quick-release mechanism. When the outer frame and the lock cover are assembled, the lock cover covers the tire cover lock. In normal operation, the lock cover covers the tire cover lock, protecting it from the erosion of mud, sand, and water.

[0004] However, due to the design of the lock cover and outer frame, the lock cover must be removed using clips and quick-release cabinets, and then the two sets of outer frames must be removed before the tire can be taken out. This makes tire installation and removal inconvenient and makes it difficult to use. In addition, because the tire is placed between the two sets of outer frames, the tire is prone to shaking during vehicle operation, resulting in low tire stability and poor performance.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a rear-mounted spare tire cover assembly for vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a rear-mounted spare tire cover assembly for vehicles, which solves the problems of inconvenient tire installation and removal and low placement stability of existing devices.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a vehicle rear-mounted spare tire cover assembly, including a spare tire cover shell, wherein a cover of a suitable specification is fitted on the front side of the spare tire cover shell.

[0008] A hinge seat is fitted between the cover and the spare tire cover. A lock block A is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the left side of the spare tire cover. A lock block B with the same position and size is fixedly installed on the rear side of the cover. A lock hole with the same position is opened on the front side of the cover. A handle with the same position is fitted on the front side of the cover.

[0009] The front side of the spare tire cover is fixedly installed with a wheel axle rod that is positioned opposite to and matches the specifications of the tire axle hole. The front side of the spare tire cover is fixedly installed with six sets of threaded rods that are positioned opposite to and match the specifications of the tire mounting holes. The outer wall of the threaded rods is fitted with a limiting nut that matches the specifications.

[0010] Preferably, the front side of the spare tire cover shell has six sets of mounting holes with opposite positions, and the rear side of the spare tire cover shell has six sets of reinforcing blocks with opposite positions fixedly installed. The mounting holes pass through the reinforcing blocks, and mounting bolts of the appropriate specifications are installed in the mounting holes, which makes it easy to install the spare tire cover shell on the vehicle.

[0011] Preferably, a sticker is fitted on the front side of the cover to improve its aesthetics.

[0012] Preferably, the front side of the housing cover is hinged to a sealing cover with a corresponding position and a matching specification. The front side of the housing cover has a corresponding sealing groove. The rear side of the sealing cover is fixedly installed with a sealing block of a matching specification. This can seal the lock hole, prevent external dust and rainwater from entering the lock hole, and improve its service life.

[0013] Preferably, a sealing gasket is fitted between the cover and the spare tire cover, which can improve the sealing between the cover and the spare tire cover and prevent rainwater from entering the spare tire cover.

[0014] Preferably, a sealing gasket made of rubber material is fitted on the inner wall of the sealing groove, which can improve the sealing performance of the sealing groove.

[0015] This vehicle rear-mounted spare tire cover assembly features a cover and a lock hole. The cover is unlocked by inserting a key into the lock hole, and then the cover is opened using a handle. The tire can then be placed inside the spare tire cover. The installation and removal of the tire is simple and convenient, improving ease of use.

[0016] Simultaneously, by setting up the wheel axle rod, threaded rod, and limiting nut, the wheel axle hole of the tire is aligned with the wheel axle rod, and the tire mounting hole is aligned with the threaded rod, thereby securing the tire onto the threaded rod. Then, the limiting nut is installed on the threaded rod to limit and fix the tire, ensuring the stability and firmness of the tire during vehicle operation and improving the performance.
