[0048] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a wheel cover 100, which can be applied to a vehicle. The vehicle can be a private car, such as a sedan, SUV, MPV or pickup truck; the vehicle can also be a commercial vehicle, such as a minivan; the vehicle can be a gasoline vehicle or a new energy vehicle. When the vehicle is a new energy vehicle, it can be a hybrid vehicle or a pure electric vehicle.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the wheel cover 100 includes a side panel assembly 110 and a top plate 120, with the top plate 120 disposed on the side panel assembly 110.

[0050] The side panel assembly 110 defines an accommodating space and a mounting opening located at the top of the accommodating space.

[0051] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the side panel assembly 110 includes a first side panel 111, a second side panel 112 spaced apart from and opposite to the first side panel 111, and a third side panel 113 connected between the first side panel 111 and the second side panel 112. The first side panel 111, the second side panel 112 and the third side panel 113 together define an accommodating space. The top end of the first side panel 111, the top end of the second side panel 112 and the top end of the third side panel 113 define a mounting opening. The top plate 120 is disposed on the top of the side panel assembly 110 and installed at the mounting opening.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the top plate 120 includes a first mounting portion 121 and a second mounting portion 122. The first mounting portion 121 is adapted to connect with a shock absorber 200 of a first type of suspension (e.g., Figure 3 As shown), the second mounting part 122 is adapted to connect with the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension (as shown). Figure 10 (As shown).

[0053] It should be noted that the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 122 are arranged along the Y-axis of the vehicle. The second mounting part 122 is closer to the X-axis of the vehicle than the first mounting part 121. The first type of suspension is a double wishbone suspension, and the second type of suspension is a MacPherson strut suspension.

[0054] In addition, when designing a vehicle, the size and distance of the surrounding parts of the shock absorber can be set according to the extreme positions of the shock absorber of different types of suspensions, so that the shock absorber will not interfere with other parts when connected to the wheel cover 100, regardless of the type of suspension shock absorber.

[0055] In the wheel arch 100 of this invention, the top plate 120 has a first mounting portion 121 and a second mounting portion 122. The first mounting portion 121 is adapted to connect with a shock absorber 200 of a first type of suspension, and the second mounting portion 122 is adapted to connect with a shock absorber 300 of a second type of suspension. The shock absorbers of the first and second types of suspensions can be optionally mounted on the top plate 120. Thus, the wheel arch 100 of this invention can accommodate shock absorbers of different types of suspensions, meeting the need for different suspensions to be matched to the same platform vehicle body according to specific requirements, and expanding the platform's derivative capabilities.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the first mounting portion 121 of the top plate 120 is used to provide a mounting position for the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension. Specifically, at least a portion of the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension is placed within the accommodating space formed by the wheel cover 100, and the top end of the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension is connected to the first mounting portion 121.

[0057] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension has a first topmount 201 for connection to the first mounting portion 121.

[0058] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the first mounting portion 121 is provided with a first clearance hole 1211 and a plurality of first mounting holes 1212 surrounding the first clearance hole 1211. The top of the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension passes into the first clearance hole 1211, and the first tower top 201 has a first mounting hole opposite to the first mounting hole 1212. By using bolts to pass through the first mounting hole 1212 and the first mounting hole, and by using nuts to lock the bolts, the connection between the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension and the top plate 120 can be realized.

[0059] It should be noted that the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension also needs to be connected to other components. Therefore, the positions of the first clearance hole 1211 and the first mounting hole 1212 on the first mounting part 121 need to be adapted to the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension so that the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension can be connected to the top plate 120 while being connected to other components.

[0060] like Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the first type of suspension is a double wishbone suspension, and the side plate assembly 110 has two connecting portions that are spaced apart and arranged opposite to each other. Both connecting portions are arranged below the top plate 120, and the two connecting portions are adapted to connect to the two connecting ends of the upper wishbone 210 of the double wishbone suspension, respectively.

[0061] Understandably, for a double wishbone suspension, it has an upper wishbone 210, both ends of which are connecting ends. When installing a double wishbone suspension, it is necessary not only to connect the shock absorber of the double wishbone suspension to the top plate 120, but also to connect the two connecting ends of its upper wishbone 210 to the two connecting parts respectively.

[0062] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, specifically, one connecting part is disposed on the first side plate 111, and the other connecting part is disposed on the second side plate 112. One connecting end of the upper wishbone 210 of the double wishbone suspension is disposed near the first side plate 111 and connected to the connecting part on the first side plate 111, and the other connecting end of the upper wishbone 210 of the double wishbone suspension is disposed near the second side plate 112 and connected to the connecting part on the second side plate 112.

[0063] One of the connecting parts is defined as the first connecting part 1111, and the other connecting part is defined as the second connecting part 1121; specifically, the connecting part on the first side plate 111 is the first connecting part 1111, and the connecting part on the second side plate 112 is the second connecting part 1121. One of the connecting ends of the upper wishbone 210 of the double wishbone suspension is defined as the first connecting end 211a, and the other connecting end is defined as the second connecting end 211b; wherein, the first connecting end 211a of the upper wishbone 210 is connected to the first connecting part 1111, and the second connecting end 211b of the upper wishbone 210 is connected to the second connecting part 1121.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, the wheel cover 100 further includes a reinforcing plate 130, which is connected to the inner wall of the side plate assembly 110.

[0065] like Figure 7 As shown, the reinforcing plate 130 has a first reinforcing part 131 that is spaced apart from and opposite to the first connecting part 1111, and the first connecting end 211a of the upper wishbone 210 of the double wishbone suspension can extend between the first connecting part 1111 and the first reinforcing part 131 and is also connected to the first reinforcing part 131.

[0066] Specifically, the first reinforcing part 131 is located on the side of the first connecting part 1111 close to the second connecting part 1121, and the first reinforcing part 131 and the first connecting part 1111 are spaced apart. The first connecting end 211a of the upper wishbone 210 of the double wishbone suspension can extend between the first connecting part 1111 and the first reinforcing part 131 and connect with the first connecting part 1111 and the first reinforcing part 131.

[0067] The first connecting end 211a, the first reinforcing part 131 and the first connecting part 1111 can be connected by a threaded connector.

[0068] Understandably, the first reinforcing part 131 can strengthen the structure of the mounting position of the first connecting end 211a of the upper fork arm 210, thereby improving the reliability of the upper fork arm 210 connection.

[0069] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the reinforcing plate 130 further has a second reinforcing part 132 that is spaced apart from and opposite to the second connecting part 1121. The second connecting end 211b of the upper wishbone 210 of the double wishbone suspension can extend into the space between the second connecting part 1121 and the second reinforcing part 132 and is also connected to the second reinforcing part 132.

[0070] Specifically, the second reinforcing part 132 is located on the side of the second connecting part 1121 close to the first connecting part 1111, and the second reinforcing part 132 is spaced apart from the second connecting part 1121. The second connecting end 211b of the upper wishbone 210 of the double wishbone suspension can extend into the space between the second connecting part 1121 and the second reinforcing part 132 and connect with the second connecting part 1121 and the second reinforcing part 132.

[0071] The second connecting end 211b, the second reinforcing part 132, and the second connecting part 1121 can be connected by a threaded connector.

[0072] Understandably, the second reinforcing part 132 can strengthen the structure of the mounting position of the second connecting end 211b of the upper wishbone 210 of the double wishbone suspension, thereby improving the reliability of the upper wishbone 210 connection.

[0073] like Figure 10 As shown, the second mounting portion 122 of the top plate 120 is used to provide a mounting position for the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension. Specifically, at least a portion of the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension is placed within the accommodating space formed by the wheel cover 100, and the top end of the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension is connected to the second mounting portion 122.

[0074] Combination Figure 10 and Figure 11Furthermore, the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension has a second tower top 301 for connection to the second mounting part 122.

[0075] Furthermore, the second mounting portion 122 is provided with a second clearance hole 1221 and a plurality of second mounting holes 1222 surrounding the second clearance hole 1221. The top of the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension passes through the second clearance hole 1221, and the second tower top 301 has a second mounting hole opposite to the second mounting hole 1222. By using bolts to pass through the second mounting hole 1222 and the second mounting hole, and by using nuts to lock the bolts, the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension can be connected to the top plate 120.

[0076] It should be noted that the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension also needs to be connected to other components. Therefore, the positions of the second clearance hole 1221 and the second mounting hole 1222 on the second mounting part 122 need to be adapted to the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension so that the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension can be connected to the top plate 120 while being connected to other components.

[0077] like Figures 12 to 14 As shown, it can be understood that when the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension is connected to the first mounting part 121, the second mounting part 122 will not interfere with the first tower top 201 of the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension, and when the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension is connected to the second mounting part 122, the first mounting part 121 will not interfere with the second tower top 301 of the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension.

[0078] Combination Figure 13 and Figure 14 Furthermore, the bottom wall of the first mounting part 121 is adapted to be fitted with at least a portion of the boundary of the top wall of the first tower top 201, and the bottom wall of the second mounting part 122 is adapted to be fitted with at least a portion of the boundary of the top wall of the second tower top 301.

[0079] Understandably, when the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension is connected to the first mounting portion 121, at least a portion of the boundary of the top wall of the first tower top 201 is in contact with the bottom wall of the first mounting portion 121, which can reduce the risk of vibration and noise caused by unstable installation of the first tower top 201; when the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension is connected to the second mounting portion 122, at least a portion of the boundary of the top wall of the second tower top 301 is in contact with the bottom wall of the second mounting portion 122, which can reduce the risk of vibration and noise caused by unstable installation of the second tower top 301.

[0080] like Figure 14As shown, the first mounting portion 121 and the second mounting portion 122 partially overlap. Specifically, the overlapping area of ​​the first mounting portion 121 and the second mounting portion 122 is located at the middle of the top plate 120 along the Y-axis of the vehicle. The overlapping area of ​​the first mounting portion 121 and the second mounting portion 122 is defined as the overlapping portion 123, and the non-overlapping area of ​​the first mounting portion 121 and the second mounting portion 122 is defined as the non-overlapping portion.

[0081] Specifically, the bottom wall of the first mounting part 121 includes a first mating surface 1213 belonging to the non-overlapping part, the bottom wall of the second mounting part 122 includes a second mating surface 1223 belonging to the non-overlapping part, and the bottom wall of the overlapping part 123 has a third mating surface 1231 and a fourth mating surface 1232. The third mating surface 1231 and the fourth mating surface 1232 are both located between the first mating surface 1213 and the second mating surface 1223, and the third mating surface 1231 is closer to the first mating surface 1213 than the fourth mating surface 1232. The first mating surface 1213 and the fourth mating surface 1232 are adapted to be mated with the boundary of the top wall of the first tower top 201; the second mating surface 1223 and the third mating surface 1231 are adapted to be mated with the boundary of the top wall of the second tower top 301.

[0082] Understandably, when the first tower top 201 is connected to the first mounting part 121, the boundary of the top wall of the first tower top 201 is in contact with the first mating surface 1213 and the fourth mating surface 1232, which can reduce the risk of vibration and noise caused by unstable installation of the first tower top 201; when the second tower top 301 is connected to the second mounting part 122, the boundary of the top wall of the second tower top 301 is in contact with the second mating surface 1223 and the third mating surface 1231, which can reduce the risk of vibration and noise caused by unstable installation of the second tower top 301.

[0083] Furthermore, when the first tower top 201 is connected to the first mounting part 121, the third mating surface 1231 is located above the first tower top 201. Thus, if the first tower top 201 needs to be installed on the top plate 120, the third mating surface 1231 will not interfere with the installation of the first tower top 201 during the installation process. Furthermore, when the second tower top 301 is connected to the second mounting part 122, the fourth mating surface 1232 is located above the second tower top 301. Similarly, if the second tower top 301 needs to be installed on the top plate 120, the fourth mating surface 1232 will not interfere with the installation of the second tower top 301 during the installation process.

[0084] Specifically, the first bonding surface 1213 and the fourth bonding surface 1232 are on the same plane, and the second bonding surface 1223 and the third bonding surface 1231 are on the same plane; wherein, the third bonding surface 1231 and the fourth bonding surface 1232 are set at an angle, and the included angle between the third bonding surface 1231 and the fourth bonding surface 1232 is upward.

[0085] It is understandable that the boundary of the top wall of the first tower top 201 is on the same horizontal plane, making the first mating surface 1213 and the fourth mating surface 1232 on the same plane. When the first tower top 201 is connected to the first mounting part 121, it is more conducive to the mating of the boundary of the top wall of the first tower top 201 with the first mating surface 1213 and the fourth mating surface 1232. In addition, since the third mating surface 1231 and the fourth mating surface 1232 are set at an angle, and the included angle between the third mating surface 1231 and the fourth mating surface 1232 is upward, the third mating surface 1231 will not interfere with the installation of the first tower top 201 during the installation process. Similarly, the boundary of the top wall of the second tower top 301 is on the same horizontal plane, so that the second mating surface 1223 and the third mating surface 1231 are on the same plane. When the second tower top 301 is connected to the second mounting part 122, it is more conducive to the mating of the boundary of the top wall of the second tower top 301 with the second mating surface 1223 and the third mating surface 1231. In addition, since the third mating surface 1231 and the fourth mating surface 1232 are set at an angle, and the included angle between the third mating surface 1231 and the fourth mating surface 1232 is upward, the fourth mating surface 1232 will not interfere with the installation of the second tower top 301 during the installation process.

[0086] The included angle between the third mating surface 1231 and the fourth mating surface 1232 is set to an obtuse angle. Specifically, the included angle between the third mating surface 1231 and the fourth mating surface 1232 is greater than or equal to 160° and less than 180°. In this way, the overlapping part 123 will not have a large bend, thus ensuring strength.

[0087] like Figure 3 As shown, this utility model also provides a vehicle, including the wheel cover 100 of the above embodiment and a first type of suspension, wherein the first type of suspension is a double wishbone suspension, and the shock absorber 200 of the first type of suspension is connected to the first mounting part 121.

[0088] It should be noted that the double wishbone suspension also has an upper wishbone 210, the two connecting ends of which are respectively connected to two connecting parts on the side plate assembly 110.

[0089] like Figure 10As shown, the present invention also provides a vehicle, including the wheel cover 100 of the above embodiment and a second type of suspension, wherein the second type of suspension is a MacPherson strut suspension, and the shock absorber 300 of the second type of suspension is connected to the second mounting part 122.
