Advantages of the Invention

[0015] In the wheel cover for a vehicle according to the first aspect of the present invention, a heat conducting member is provided which is attached to the cover member and connects the internal space between the brake device and the cover member and the outside of the cover member. By providing the heat conducting member having higher thermal conductivity than the cover member, the heat generated in the internal space due to the brake device is radiated to the outside through the heat conducting member. Therefore, the cooling performance of the brake device can be improved.

[0016] In the wheel cover for a vehicle according to the second aspect of the present invention, the heat conducting member is provided so as to protrude into the internal space, thereby increasing the exposed amount of the heat conducting member into the internal space. Therefore, the heat conduction efficiency by the heat conducting member is improved. As a result, the cooling performance of the brake device can be improved.

[0017] In the wheel cover for a vehicle according to the third aspect of the present invention, the heat conducting member is connected to the internal space through an opening provided in the cover member, so that it is lighter compared to the case where the heat conducting member is provided so as to protrude into the internal space. Therefore, while improving the cooling performance of the brake device, weight reduction can be achieved.

[0018] In the wheel cover for a vehicle according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the heat conducting member is arranged at the position where the caliper of the brake device is provided in the radial direction of the wheel, so that the heat conducting member is arranged at the portion with a large amount of heat generation. Therefore, the heat conduction efficiency by the heat conducting member is improved. As a result, the cooling performance of the brake device can be further improved.

[0019] In the wheel cover for a vehicle according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the surface of the heat conducting member exposed to the outside is provided to be inclined so that the traveling wind of the vehicle hits it. Therefore, when the vehicle is traveling, the traveling wind hits the inclined heat conducting member. As a result, the heat radiation effect of the heat conducting member is improved. As a result, the cooling performance of the brake device can be further improved.

[0020] In the wheel cover for a vehicle according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the surface exposed to the outside of the heat conductive member has unevenness repeating alternately in the circumferential direction of the wheel, so that the exposure amount of the heat conductive member to the outside is increased. Therefore, the heat conduction efficiency by the heat conductive member is improved. As a result, the cooling performance of the braking device can be improved.

[0021] In the wheel cover for a vehicle according to the seventh aspect of the present invention, in the rotational direction of the wheel, by being provided so as to form an opening connecting the internal space and the outside on the downstream side of the heat conductive member, the heat discharged from the internal space through the opening is suppressed from hitting the heat radiating member. Therefore, the heat in the internal space generated due to the braking device is radiated to the outside through the opening and is also radiated to the outside through the heat conductive member. As a result, the cooling performance of the braking device can be improved.

[0022] In the wheel cover for a vehicle according to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the heat conductive member includes a hook portion formed in an arc shape along the outer edge of the cover member in a front view, so that the outer edge of the heat conductive member is formed in advance. Therefore, a beautiful appearance can be achieved as compared with the case of bending and attaching the outer edge of the heat conductive member.

[0024] [First Embodiment] Hereinafter, a wheel cover for a vehicle according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment, an example in which the wheel cover for a vehicle is attached to a wheel of an automobile will be described. In each figure, arrow R indicates the forward rotation direction R of the wheel 10, arrow G indicates the axial direction G of the wheel 10, and arrow E indicates the radial direction E of the wheel 10.

[0025] [Configuration of Wheel 10] As shown in FIG. 1, the wheel 10 is formed of metal (for example, steel, aluminum, etc.), and includes a rim portion 12, a disk portion 16, and a plurality (for example, five) of spoke portions 14 that connect the rim portion 12 and the disk portion 16.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 3, the rim portion 12 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and flanges 12A are formed on both sides in the axial direction G.

[0027] The disk portion 16 is formed in a substantially disk shape with the axial direction G as the plate thickness direction. The disk portion 16 is formed with a hub hole 16B into which the center hub 66 is fitted and a plurality (for example, five) of bolt holes 16A into which bolts 64A attached to the hub 64 are inserted. The spoke portions 14 are provided at equal intervals along the circumferential direction with respect to each other.

[0028] A brake device 50 and a hub 64 are provided on a shaft 62 that transmits a driving force from a driving motor (not shown).

[0029] The brake device 50 includes a rotating disk (brake disk) 52 and a caliper 54 disposed so as to sandwich the rotating disk 52. Then, by pressing a friction member provided on the caliper 54 against the rotating disk 52, frictional force is generated and the rotation of the rotating disk 52 is decelerated.

[0030] The hub 64 is provided with a center hub 66 and bolts 64A. The center hub 66 is fitted into the hub hole 16B, and a nut 64B is attached to the bolts 64A inserted into the bolt holes 16A, whereby the wheel 10 is attached to the hub 64.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, an opening 18 leading to an internal space S (see FIG. 3) described later is formed between adjacent spoke portions 14. A vehicle wheel cover 20 is attached to the opening 18.

[0032] [Configuration of Vehicle Wheel Cover 20] As shown in FIG. 3, the vehicle wheel cover 20 is attached to the outside of the vehicle with respect to the brake device 50 with respect to the wheel 10. The vehicle wheel cover 20 includes a cover member 30 and a heat conduction member 40.

[0033] (Cover Member 30) As shown in FIG. 2, the cover member 30 is formed of a resin (for example, polycarbonate, ABS, or nylon-based resin), and is formed in a substantially fan-shaped plate shape by a first portion 32 and a second portion 34. The cover member 30 is attached to the wheel 10 by, for example, resin claws (not shown).

[0034] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first portion 32 is formed on the downstream side (rear side) in the forward rotation direction R of the cover member 30. The first portion 32 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape in a front view.

[0035] The second portion 34 is formed on the upstream side (front side) in the forward rotation direction R of the cover member 30. The second portion 34 is formed in a substantially fan-shaped plate shape in a front view. The surface of the second portion 34 is formed at a position lower than the surface of the first portion 32.

[0036] A plurality of openings 34A penetrating in the axial direction G (see FIG. 3) are formed in the second portion 34. The openings 34A are provided at positions where the caliper 54 is disposed in the radial direction E. The openings 34A are formed in a rectangular shape extending in a direction intersecting the circumferential direction. The openings 34A are arranged at predetermined intervals along the substantially circumferential direction.

[0037] (Heat conduction member 40) The heat conduction member 40 is formed of a metal (for example, aluminum) or a heat conductive resin having a higher heat conductivity than the cover member 30. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the heat conduction member 40 is disposed at a position where the caliper 54 is provided in the radial direction E. As shown in FIG. 4, the heat conduction member 40 includes a base portion 42 and a protruding portion 44.

[0038] (Base portion 42) As shown in FIG. 2, the base portion 42 is formed in a substantially fan-shaped plate shape in a front view. The base portion 42 is formed in substantially the same shape as the second portion 34 in a front view, and is attached to the cover member 30 so as to cover the front side of the second portion 34.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 4, the design surface 42A of the base portion 42 is an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the circumferential direction. In other words, the surface exposed to the outside of the heat conductive member 40 is an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the circumferential direction.

[0040] The design surface 42A of the base portion 42 is formed such that when the vehicle moves forward, the traveling wind generated during traveling hits the inclined design surface 42A of the base portion 42. The traveling wind refers to the wind received by the vehicle as the vehicle travels. When the vehicle moves forward, it is preferable that the inclination of the design surface 42A is formed such that the traveling wind hits the design surface 42A when the design surface 42A passes above the wheel 10 as the wheel 10 rotates.

[0041] (Protrusion 44) The protrusion 44 is provided so as to protrude from the base portion 42 toward the internal space S between the caliper 54 of the brake device 50 and the cover member 30. The internal space S is a ring groove-shaped space surrounded by the rim portion 12, the brake device 50, the hub 64, and the disc portion 16.

[0042] The protrusion 44 is formed in a rectangular rib shape. The protrusion 44 is formed so as to pass through the opening 34A of the base portion 42 and protrude from the base portion 42. The protrusion 44 is provided so as to protrude into the internal space S and constitutes a cooling fin for cooling the internal space S.

[0043] The protrusion 44 is provided at a position where the caliper 54 is disposed in the radial direction E. The protrusion 44 is formed in a rectangular rib shape extending in a direction intersecting the circumferential direction. It is preferable that the protrusion 44 extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the circumferential direction. The protrusions 44 are arranged at predetermined intervals along the substantially circumferential direction.

[0044] Thereby, the heat conductive member 40 is provided so as to connect the internal space S and the outside outside the cover member 30.

[0045] [Operation of the vehicle wheel cover 20] When the drive motor is driven and the shaft 62 rotates, the wheel 10 rotates and the vehicle moves forward. When the brake is applied, the friction member provided on the caliper 54 is pressed against the rotating disk 52, generating frictional force, decelerating the rotation of the rotating disk 52, and braking the vehicle. At this time, frictional heat is generated between the rotating disk 52 and the caliper 54.

[0046] This frictional heat is dissipated to the outside from the internal space S through the heat conduction member 40. Further, when the vehicle moves forward, the traveling wind hits the inclined design surface 42A of the heat conduction member 40. Thereby, the dissipation of frictional heat to the outside is promoted.

[0047] [Function] The vehicle wheel cover 20 according to the first embodiment includes a cover member 30 attached to the outside of the vehicle with respect to the wheel 10 relative to the brake device 50, and is attached to the cover member 30 and connects the internal space S between the brake device 50 and the cover member 30 and the outside outside the cover member 30. And a heat conduction member 40 having higher thermal conductivity than the cover member 30 (see FIG. 4).

[0048] By providing a heat conduction member 40 that is attached to the cover member 30 and connects the internal space S between the brake device 50 and the cover member 30 and the outside outside the cover member 30 and has higher thermal conductivity than the cover member 30, the heat generated in the internal space S due to the brake device 50 is dissipated to the outside through the heat conduction member 40. Therefore, the cooling performance of the brake device 50 can be improved.

[0049] Moreover, since the vehicle wheel cover 20 is attached to the opening 18 of the wheel 10, the opening area of the wheel 10 can be reduced, the air flowing along the side surface of the vehicle can be adjusted, and the aerodynamic characteristics can be improved.

[0050] In the vehicle wheel cover 20 according to the first embodiment, the heat conduction member 40 is provided so as to protrude into the internal space S (see FIG. 4).

[0051] The heat conduction member 40 is provided so as to protrude into the internal space S, whereby the exposure amount of the heat conduction member 40 to the internal space S is increased. Therefore, the heat conduction efficiency by the heat conduction member 40 is improved. As a result, the cooling performance of the brake device 50 can be improved.

[0052] In the vehicle wheel cover 20 according to the first embodiment, the heat conduction member 40 is arranged at a position where the caliper 54 of the brake device 50 is provided in the radial direction of the wheel 10 (see FIG. 1).

[0053] Since the heat conduction member 40 is arranged at a position where the caliper 54 of the brake device 50 is provided in the radial direction of the wheel 10, the heat conduction member 40 is arranged at a portion with a large heat generation amount. Therefore, the heat conduction efficiency by the heat conduction member 40 is improved. As a result, the cooling performance of the brake device 50 can be further improved.

[0054] In the vehicle wheel cover 20 according to the first embodiment, the surface of the heat conduction member 40 exposed to the outside is provided to be inclined so that the traveling wind of the vehicle hits it (see FIG. 5).

[0055] Since the surface of the heat conduction member 40 exposed to the outside is provided to be inclined so that the traveling wind of the vehicle hits it, the traveling wind hits the inclined heat conduction member 40 when the vehicle is traveling. Therefore, the heat dissipation effect of the heat conduction member 40 is improved. As a result, the cooling performance of the brake device 50 can be further improved.

[0056] 〔Second Embodiment〕 The vehicle wheel cover according to the second embodiment is different from the vehicle wheel cover according to the first embodiment in that the configuration of the heat conduction member is different. Note that, for the description of the same or equivalent parts as those described in the above embodiment, the same terms or the same reference numerals are used for the description.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 5, the heat conducting member 140 includes a base portion 42. The back surface of the base portion 42 is exposed to the internal space S through the opening 34A of the cover member 30. In other words, the heat conducting member 140 is connected to the internal space S through the opening 34A provided in the cover member 30.

[0058] As a result, it is made lighter compared to the case where the heat conducting member 140 is provided so as to protrude into the internal space S. Therefore, it is possible to achieve weight reduction while improving the cooling performance of the brake device 50.

[0059] Note that since other configurations and effects are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment described above, the description thereof is omitted.

[0060] 〔Third Embodiment〕 The vehicle wheel cover according to the third embodiment is different from the vehicle wheel cover according to the first embodiment in that the configuration of the heat conducting member is different. Note that for the description of the parts that are the same as or equivalent to those described in the above embodiment, the same terms or the same reference numerals are used for the description.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 6, the design surface 242 formed outside the heat conducting member 240 is formed by a first surface 242A that forms an elevation angle with respect to the circumferential direction and a second surface 242B that forms a depression angle with respect to the circumferential direction, and a mountain shape formed by these is continuously formed. In other words, the design surface 242 formed outside the heat conducting member 240 is formed by alternately repeating irregularities in the circumferential direction of the wheel 10.

[0062] As a result, the exposure amount of the heat conducting member 240 to the outside is increased. Therefore, the heat conduction efficiency by the heat conducting member 240 is improved. As a result, the cooling performance of the brake device 50 can be improved.

[0063] Note that since other configurations and effects are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment described above, the description thereof is omitted.

[0064] 〔Fourth Embodiment〕 The wheel cover for a vehicle according to the fourth embodiment is different from the wheel cover for a vehicle according to the first embodiment in that the configuration of the wheel cover for a vehicle is different. Regarding the description of the same or equivalent parts as those described in the above embodiments, the same terms or the same reference numerals will be used for the description.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 7, the vehicle wheel cover 320 is provided so as to form an opening 118 that connects the internal space S and the outside on the downstream side (rear side) of the heat conductive member 40 in the forward rotation direction R of the wheel 10.

[0066] Thereby, it is possible to suppress the heat discharged from the internal space S through the opening 118 from hitting the heat conductive member 40. Therefore, the heat in the internal space S generated due to the brake device 50 is radiated to the outside through the opening 118 and is also radiated to the outside through the heat conductive member 40. As a result, the cooling performance of the brake device 50 can be improved.

[0067] Regarding other configurations and effects, since they are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment described above, the description will be omitted.

[0068] 〔Fifth Embodiment〕 The wheel cover for a vehicle according to the fifth embodiment is different from the wheel cover for a vehicle according to the first embodiment in that the configuration of the wheel cover for a vehicle is different. Regarding the description of the same or equivalent parts as those described in the above embodiments, the same terms or the same reference numerals will be used for the description.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 8, the vehicle wheel cover 420 is integrally formed so as to cover the spoke portion 14 and the disk portion 16. In other words, it is integrally formed so as to cover the outside in the axial direction G of the wheel 10.

[0070] The vehicle wheel cover 420 includes a cover member 430 and a plurality (five in the fifth embodiment) of heat conductive members 440.

[0071] (Cover Member 430) The cover member 430 is formed in a disk shape by a center portion 431, a first portion 432, and a second portion 434.

[0072] The center portion 431 is formed in a disk shape so as to cover the disk portion 16. The first portion 432 is formed to extend radially from the center portion 431. The first portions 432 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

[0073] Adjacent first portions 432 are connected by the second portion 434 on the outer side in the radial direction E. An opening 418 leading to the internal space S is formed between adjacent first portions 432 and on the inner side in the radial direction E.

[0074] The second portion 434 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape in a front view. The surface of the second portion 434 is formed at a position lower than the surface of the first portion 432.

[0075] A plurality of openings 434A penetrating in the axial direction G are formed in the second portion 434. The openings 434A are provided at positions where the caliper 54 is disposed in the radial direction E. The openings 434A are formed in a rectangle extending in a direction intersecting the circumferential direction. The openings 434A are arranged at predetermined intervals along the substantially circumferential direction.

[0076] (Heat conduction member 440) The heat conduction member 440 is disposed at a position where the caliper 54 is provided in the radial direction E. The heat conduction member 440 includes a base portion 442 and a protruding portion 444.

[0077] (Base portion 442) The base portion 442 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape in a front view. The base portion 442 is formed in substantially the same shape as the second portion 434 in a front view and is attached to the cover member 430 so as to cover the front side of the second portion 434.

[0078] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the base portion 442 includes a claw portion 442B formed inside in the radial direction E and a hook portion 442A formed outside in the radial direction E. The claw portion 442B is configured to be foldable. The hook portion 442A is formed in an arc shape along the outer edge of the cover member 430 in a front view.

[0079] (Protrusion 444) The protrusion 444 is provided so as to protrude from the base portion 442 toward the internal space S between the brake device 50 and the cover member 30. The protrusion 444 is formed so as to pass through the opening 434A of the base portion 442 and protrude from the base portion 442.

[0080] The protrusion 444 is provided at a position where the caliper 54 is disposed in the radial direction E. The protrusion 444 is formed in a rectangular rib shape extending in a direction intersecting the circumferential direction.

[0081] In the heat conduction member 440 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 9, the hook portion 442A is hooked on the outer edge of the base portion 442 in the radial direction E of the base portion 442 to cover the base portion 442 with the second portion 434. Then, the claw portion 442B is bent to fix the base portion 442 to the inner edge of the second portion 434 in the radial direction E. Thereby, the heat conduction member 440 is attached to the cover member 430.

[0082] Since the heat conduction member 440 includes the hook portion 442A formed in an arc shape along the outer edge of the cover member 430 in a front view, the outer edge of the heat conduction member 440 is formed in advance. Therefore, a beautiful appearance can be achieved as compared with the case where the outer edge of the heat conduction member 440 is bent and attached.

[0083] Note that since other configurations and effects are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment described above, the description thereof is omitted.

[0084] Note that the vehicle wheel cover is not limited to this embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the heat conducting member 540 of the vehicle wheel cover 520 may include a base portion 542 and a protruding portion 444.

[0085] The base portion 542 may be formed in a frame shape so as to have an opening window 542A communicating with the opening 418 in a front view.

[0086] In the heat conducting member 540 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 11, the hooking portion 442A is hooked on the outer edge of the base portion 442 in the radial direction E of the base portion 442, and the base portion 442 is covered with the second portion 434. Then, the claw portion 442B is bent and fixed to the edge of the cover member 430 that forms the opening 418. Thereby, the heat conducting member 440 is attached to the cover member 430.

[0087] The vehicle wheel cover has been described above based on the first to fifth embodiments. However, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and design changes and the like are allowed as long as the gist of the invention according to each claim of the claims is not deviated from.

[0088] In the first to fifth embodiments, an example in which the heat conducting member is disposed at a position where the caliper 54 is provided in the radial direction E has been shown. However, the heat conducting member may also be provided at a position where the caliper 54 is not provided in the radial direction E.

[0089] In the first to fifth embodiments, an example in which the protruding portion 44 is formed to extend in a direction intersecting the circumferential direction has been shown. However, the protruding portion may be formed to extend in the circumferential direction.

[0090] In the first, third to fifth embodiments, an example in which the heat conducting member includes a protruding portion provided so as to protrude into the internal space S has been shown. However, the heat conducting member is not limited to this embodiment, and for example, it may have a dimple shape to increase the area exposed to the internal space S.

[0091] In the first to fifth embodiments, examples were shown in which the design surface of the heat conduction member is formed as an inclined surface or an uneven surface. However, the design surface of the heat conduction member may be a surface parallel to a plane including the circumferential direction.

[0092] In the fourth embodiment, an example was shown in which the vehicle wheel cover 320 is provided so as to form an opening 118 that connects the internal space S to the outside on the downstream side of the heat conduction member in the forward rotation direction R of the wheel 10. However, the vehicle wheel cover may be provided so as to form an opening 118 that connects the internal space S to the outside on the upstream side of the heat conduction member in the forward rotation direction R of the wheel 10.

[0093] In the first to fifth embodiments, an example was shown in which the vehicle wheel cover is attached to the wheel of an automobile. However, the vehicle wheel cover can also be applied to the cover of a motorcycle.
