Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to automotive parts, and in particular to a floating wheel hub cover. Background Technology

[0002] Floating wheel covers keep the car logo oriented when the car wheel rotates, making the car brand easier to identify. A typical floating wheel cover includes a base, a faceplate, a bearing, and a logo cover. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218805621U describes a floating car logo cover, which includes a base, a faceplate, and a decorative panel. The base has a bearing seat in the middle, containing a bearing. The decorative panel has a rotating column in the middle of its back side, integrally injection molded with the decorative panel. The lower end of the rotating column forms a first locking foot, and the outer wall of the rotating column has a limiting post. The bearing is secured between the first locking foot and the limiting post. A counterweight is located on one side of the back side of the decorative panel. The edge of the faceplate has a threaded cap formed by two-color injection molding, with external threads on its outer wall. 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. The bearing is held in place by plastic parts. As the plastic parts age, the bearing becomes loose, and this defect is difficult to repair. In addition, the bearing requires compression during installation, which can cause some damage to the plastic parts. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a floating hub cover that makes the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of bearings more convenient.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a floating hub cover, including a base, a face cover that cooperates with the base, and a car logo cover that rotatably cooperates with the base. The car logo cover is provided with a counterweight. The base is provided with a connecting post in the middle. The car logo cover is provided with a connecting sleeve in the middle. The connecting sleeve is fitted over the connecting post. A bearing is provided between the connecting sleeve and the connecting post. The outer wall of the connecting post is provided with a boss and a groove. A first retaining spring is provided in the groove. The lower end of the inner ring of the bearing abuts against the boss. The first retaining spring presses against the upper end of the inner ring of the bearing. The inner wall of the connecting sleeve is provided with a mounting groove and a retaining platform. A second retaining spring is provided in the mounting groove. The second retaining spring presses against the lower end of the outer ring of the bearing. The upper end of the outer ring of the bearing abuts against the retaining platform. The principle of this utility model is as follows: the bearing can be easily inserted between the connecting column and the connecting sleeve, and then the bearing is clamped by the first and second snap rings. The snap rings are easy to remove and put in, so the bearing is easier to disassemble, install and maintain. Through the precise installation of the bearing and the multi-level limit design, this floating wheel hub cover is significantly better than the traditional snap-on installation in terms of rotational stability, environmental adaptability and service life.

[0005] As an improvement, the cover is threaded into the base.

[0006] As an improvement, the base includes a base plate, a side plate surrounding the edge of the base plate, and a support plate connected to the upper end of the side plate. The inner side of the side plate is provided with internal threads. The cover includes a panel and an annular plate surrounding the edge of the panel. The outer wall of the annular plate is provided with external threads. The annular plate is threadedly engaged with the side plate.

[0007] As an improvement, a sealing ring is provided between the panel and the side panel.

[0008] As an improvement, the base plate is provided with an annular groove, and the lower end of the annular plate extends into the annular groove.

[0009] As an improvement, the support plate is provided with a decorative plate, which is connected to the support plate by a snap fastener.

[0010] As an improvement, the back of the base is provided with locking feet.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0012] The bearing can be easily inserted between the connecting column and the connecting sleeve, and then the bearing is locked in place by the first and second snap rings. The snap rings are easy to remove and put in, so the bearing is easier to disassemble, install and maintain. Through the precise installation of the bearing and the multi-level limit design, this floating wheel hub cover is significantly better than the traditional snap-on installation in terms of rotational stability, environmental adaptability and service life. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the present invention.

[0014] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, a floating hubcap includes a base 2, a faceplate 1 that mates with the base 2, and a logo cover 3 that rotatably mates with the base 2. The logo cover 3 has a counterweight 8, and a logo can be placed on the logo cover 3, with the counterweight 8 oriented the logo. The base 2 includes a base plate, side panels surrounding the edge of the base plate, and a support plate connected to the upper end of the side panels. The inner side of the side panels has internal threads. The faceplate 1 includes a panel and an annular plate surrounding the edge of the panel.
