[0002] Aluminum alloy wheels are increasingly popular in the market due to their significant advantages such as good heat dissipation, light weight, high precision, and diverse styles. Currently, many car brands require two-tone alloy wheels, where the outer surface of the wheel is one color and the center area is another, resulting in a very attractive appearance. However, processing this type of two-tone product is very cumbersome. During painting, stickers must be applied to both the inner and outer rims of the wheel separately before the two-tone paint is applied. This process, manually applying stickers to each wheel, takes nearly an hour, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, severely impacting work efficiency. Furthermore, the stickers cannot be reused, leading to high processing costs.

[0003] Therefore, developing a rapid wheel hub painting color-coating structure for practical production is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

The color matching slot is circumferentially opened on the outer side of the wheel hub body, and the protective structure is detachably inserted into the color matching slot.

[0007] Preferably, the protective structure includes a central protective plate for protecting the central area of ​​the wheel hub body. The diameter of the central protective plate is set to correspond to the radial dimension of the color matching slot, so that the central protective plate can be inserted and secured in the color matching slot.

[0008] Preferably, the outer edge of the central protective plate is provided with a guide structure, which is a wedge-shaped structure formed on the edge of the central protective plate. The wedge-shaped structure corresponds to the shape of the wheel hub body, so that the central protective plate can be smoothly installed into the color matching slot through the guiding effect of the wedge-shaped structure.

[0009] Preferably, the central protective plate is tapered to enhance structural strength and mitigate the defect of easy deformation of the central protective plate.

[0010] Preferably, the central protective plate is provided with a handle to facilitate hand operation by the operator.
