Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum alloy wheel technology, specifically to an installation structure for a floating large cover for aluminum alloy wheels. Background Technology

[0002] With the advent of the new energy vehicle era, wheels have far surpassed their traditional role as vehicle running gear, evolving into a key carrier integrating technology, aesthetics, and brand identity. Among them, the rapid development of wheels with decorative parts highlights their increasing importance, mainly in the following aspects.

[0003] First, it is a core element in shaping a brand's unique aesthetics and high recognizability. Due to the transformation of their powertrains, new energy vehicles are seeing the gradual disappearance of front grilles, weakening the most iconic design area of ​​traditional gasoline vehicles. The wheels have thus become the visual focal point of the car's side view and even its overall styling. By adding meticulously designed decorative covers, low-drag inserts, or personalized panels, automakers can greatly enhance the vehicle's technological, futuristic, and luxurious feel, forming a strong brand family language. Examples include Tesla's turbine-style hood or the low-drag integrated designs of many emerging brands, making them instantly recognizable.

[0004] Secondly, it is an innovative solution that balances aesthetics and functionality (especially aerodynamics). Range anxiety is one of the core pain points in the development of electric vehicles, and as a rotating component, the wheel hub's drag coefficient has a significant impact on energy consumption. Wheel hubs with decorative elements (such as aerodynamic decorative covers made of plastic) can effectively manage airflow near the wheels, reduce wind resistance, and thus directly improve the vehicle's driving range. This "form serves function" design upgrades the wheel hub from simply "good-looking" to a key component that is both "good-looking and practical."

[0005] Furthermore, it satisfies consumers' growing needs for personalization and emotional connection. Car consumption is shifting from a purely utilitarian function to an experiential one, with users viewing vehicles as extensions of their personal taste and lifestyle. Customizable and replaceable wheel accessories (such as caliper covers in different colors and wheel covers in various styles) provide customers with low-cost, high-efficiency personalization solutions, enhancing the emotional connection and sense of participation between users and their vehicles, and increasing the added value and market competitiveness of the product.

[0006] Finally, it represents the forefront of intelligent manufacturing and the application of new materials. The design and production of these decorative parts involve technologies such as lightweight materials (e.g., composite polymers and composite materials), precision mold manufacturing, and aerodynamic simulation, driving the technological upgrading of related industrial chains. In the future, with the development of technology, we may even see intelligent wheel hub decorative parts integrating intelligent lighting and interactive display functions, opening up new avenues for communication between vehicles and the outside world.

[0007] In conclusion, the development of wheels with decorative elements is far more than just simple "decoration." It is a product of the deep integration of engineering design, brand marketing, user psychology, and cutting-edge technology in the era of new energy vehicles, and it is of vital importance to enhancing product competitiveness, shaping brand image, and promoting industrial innovation. Utility Model Content

[0008] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose an installation structure for a floating large cover for an aluminum alloy wheel, so that the large cover does not rotate with the wheel, and the wheel hub presents a floating forward effect during vehicle operation.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0010] An installation structure for a floating large cover for an aluminum alloy wheel includes a wheel, a bearing inner ring cover connected to the wheel by a first fastening bolt, a bearing, the bearing inner ring being fixed by the bearing inner ring cover and the wheel, a large cover connecting flange and a bearing outer ring cover jointly clamping the bearing outer ring, and a large cover connected to the large cover connecting flange and the bearing outer ring cover by a second fastening bolt.

[0011] In some embodiments, the bearing inner ring cap is connected to the wheel boss by a first fastening bolt to restrict the movement of the bearing along the wheel axial direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, the large cover connecting flange and the bearing outer ring gland are fixedly connected to the large cover by a second fastening bolt.

[0013] In some embodiments, the bearing inner ring cover, the first fastening bolt, and the inner ring of the bearing rotate with the wheel, while the large cover connecting flange, the bearing outer ring cover, the large cover, the second fastening bolt, and the outer ring of the bearing do not rotate with the wheel. Attached Figure Description

[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 3 The installation structure of the aluminum alloy wheel suspension cover of this utility model is described in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0023] An installation structure for a floating large cover for an aluminum alloy wheel includes a wheel 1, a bearing inner ring cover 2, a first fastening bolt 3, a bearing 4, a large cover connecting flange 5, a bearing outer ring cover 6, a large cover 7, and a second fastening bolt 3.

[0024] The bearing inner ring cover 2 is connected to the wheel 1 by the first fastening bolt 3, which ensures the reliability of the connection and facilitates disassembly and assembly.

[0025] At the same time, the bearing inner ring cover 2 and the boss of the wheel 1 fix the inner ring of the bearing 4, restricting the movement of the bearing 4 and other components such as the large buckle cover 7 along the wheel axis.

[0026] The large buckle cover connecting flange 5 and bearing outer ring cover 6 together clamp the outer ring of bearing 4.

[0027] Meanwhile, the large cover 7, the large cover connecting flange 5, and the bearing outer ring cover 6 are connected together by the second fastening bolt 3, making the connection structure more compact and the installation simpler.

[0028] When the vehicle is in motion, the bearing inner ring cover 2, the first fastening bolt 3, and the inner ring of the bearing 4 rotate together with the wheel 1.
