Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to an automobile part, particularly to a hub trim fixing device. [Background technology]
[0002] Decorative hub covers are a type of decorative component for automobile hubs, and are currently commonly used to decorate steel hubs. However, decorative covers for aluminum hubs are also available. To secure the decorative cover to the hub, mounting holes or screw holes must often be drilled in the hub, which requires post-processing of the hub for installation, resulting in increased processing time and affecting the appearance of the aluminum hub. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] The technical problem that this utility model aims to solve is to provide a hub decorative member fixing device that does not require drilling of the hub, has a simple structure, and is easy to manufacture. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model comprises two clamp legs arranged opposite each other on the back surface of the decorative element body, and a metal clip for supporting the clamp legs, the two clamp legs being fixed to the decorative element body by a clamp base, the decorative element body, clamp legs, and clamp base being integrally injection molded, the clamp legs comprising a standing plate and a clamp table arranged at the upper inside position of the standing plate, clamp grooves being formed on both sides of the clamp base, the metal clip being formed by bending and welding a steel wire, the metal clip comprising a connecting part and support parts arranged on both ends of the connecting part, the connecting part being made of two connecting steel wires, the ends of the two connecting steel wires being bent upward and then connected to the support parts to form the connecting part, the support parts abutting against the outer surfaces of the clamp legs, the two connecting steel wires being respectively located on both sides of the clamp base and in the clamp grooves. The principle of this utility model is that the decorative element is fixed by clamping the hub spokes with two clamp legs that are arranged opposite each other. In particular, for aluminum alloy hubs, holes are drilled on the surface of the hub and metal clips are used to support the clamp legs, ensuring the stability of the clamp legs and preventing the decorative element from falling off. The metal clips are made by bending and welding steel wire, and the structure and manufacturing process are simple.
[0005] As an improvement, the clamp base comprises two rectangular plates connecting the bases of the clamp legs, a plurality of lateral support plates arranged parallel to the bottom of the rectangular plates, and vertical support plates arranged at both ends of the lateral support plates.
[0006] As an improvement, guide tables are provided on both sides of the rectangular plate, the guide tables have guide slopes, and the clamping grooves are provided below the guide tables. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are that the decorative element is fixed by clamping the hub spokes with two clamp legs that are arranged opposite each other, and in particular for aluminum alloy hubs, holes are drilled on the hub surface and the clamp legs are supported by metal clips to ensure the stability of the clamp legs and prevent the decorative element from falling off, and the metal clips are made by bending and welding steel wire, so the structure is simple and the manufacturing process is also simple. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0008] [Figure 1] Schematic diagram of the back of the hub decorative member. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the metal clip and clamp legs. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings.
[0010] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the hub decorative element includes a plastic body 4 and a fixing device attached to the rear of the plastic body 4, which fixes the plastic body 4 to the spokes of the hub. The fixing device includes two clamp legs 1 attached to opposite sides of the rear of the decorative element body and a metal clip 2 for supporting the clamp legs 1. The two clamp legs 1 are fixed to the plastic body 4 by a clamp base 3, and the plastic body 4, clamp legs 1, and clamp base 3 are integrally injection molded. The clamp legs 1 are provided with a standing plate 11 and a clamp table 12 attached to the upper inside position of the standing plate 11. After firmly attached, the two clamp legs 1 are located on both sides of the spokes and are fixed by the clamping force of the two clamp legs 1. The installation of the clamp table 12 is preferable to prevent them from falling off. The clamp base 3 includes two rectangular plates 31 connecting the bases of the clamp legs 1, a number of horizontal support plates 33 arranged parallel to the bottom of the rectangular plates 31, and vertical support plates 34 attached to both ends of the horizontal support plates 33. The rectangular plates 31 are arranged between the two clamp legs 1, and the bottom of the rectangular plates 31 is connected to the plastic body 4 by the horizontal support plates 33, which are perpendicular to the vertical support plates 34. This gives the clamp base 3 high structural strength and resistance to deformation. Clamp grooves 32 are formed on both sides of the clamp base 3, consisting of notches on both sides of the horizontal support plates 33. Guide tables 35 are provided on both longitudinal sides of the rectangular plates, each with a guide slope, and the clamp grooves 32 are located below the guide tables 35. The metal clip 2 is formed by bending and welding a steel wire, and includes a connection portion 21 and support portions 22 provided at both ends of the connection portion 21. The connection portion 21 is made of two connecting steel wires, the ends of which are bent upward and then connected to form the support portion 22. The support portions 22 abut against the outer surfaces of the clamp legs 1, and the two connecting steel wires are located on both sides of the clamp base 3 and within the clamp grooves 21.When mounting, the metal clip 2 is inserted into the two clip legs 1 from above, and when the metal clip 2 moves to the position of the clip base 3, the two connecting steel wires are inserted into the clip grooves 32 by the guide table, completing the mounting.
[0011] The principle of this utility model is that the decorative element is fixed by clamping the hub spokes with two clamp legs 1, which are arranged opposite each other. Particularly for aluminum alloy hubs, holes are drilled on the surface of the hub and metal clips 2 are used to support the clamp legs 1, ensuring the stability of the clamp legs 1 and preventing the decorative element from falling off. The metal clips 2 are made by bending and welding steel wire, and the structure is simple, as is the manufacturing process.
