The embodiment of the utility model relates to a wheel insert, it can realize the installation through peculiar fastening mounting means under the condition that does not change the original outward appearance of wheel (for example, do not reserve the mounting hole of installing wheel insert specially), consequently, to the user that does not have the wheel repacking demand, can select not to install the wheel insert, and keep the outward appearance of wheel complete independent, to the user that has the wheel repacking demand, can realize the change of wheel outward appearance effect through installing this wheel insert on the wheel window.
As shown in fig. 1-5, an exemplary wheel insert 1 includes a body portion 11, the body portion 11 including a design surface 111 and a back surface 112 opposite the design surface 111. Extending rearwardly from the rear face 112 are first and second mounting portions 12, 13, wherein the first mounting portion 12 is positioned to be inserted into the bolt hole 21 of the wheel 2 in correspondence with the position of the bolt hole 21 of the wheel 2, and the second mounting portion 13 is positioned to be inserted into the space (window) 24 between the adjacent spokes 22, 23 of the wheel 2 in correspondence with the space 24. The outer side of the second mounting portion 13 is also provided with a snap arrangement 15 for snapping onto the back of the respective spoke 22, 23. The first mounting portion 12 and the second mounting portion 13 are spaced apart from each other, i.e., there is a gap 14 therebetween to correspond to a hub portion between the bolt hole 21 receiving the wheel 2 and the space 24.
The wheel insert 1 is provided with a through hole 120 penetrating the body portion 11 and the first mounting portion 12 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the outer appearance surface 111, and when the first mounting portion 12 is inserted into the bolt hole 21 of the wheel 2, the through hole 120 can receive a fastener 25 such as a bolt and a nut to fasten the wheel insert 1 to the wheel 2 by the fastener 25. The wheel insert 1 is further provided with a ventilation groove 130 that penetrates the main body portion 11 and the second mounting portion 13 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the outer appearance surface 111, and is provided for ventilation.
In some embodiments, the first mounting portion 12 is a tubular member having a wall that extends generally perpendicular to the appearance surface 111 such that the wall is substantially invisible on one side (visible location) of the appearance surface 111. In some embodiments, the second mounting portion 13 is a hollow thin-walled member that extends obliquely rearward from a middle position of the rear surface 112 of the main body portion 11, with the direction of the inclination facing into the ventilation groove 130, so that a wall portion inside inclined surface 131 thereof is visible from inside the ventilation groove 130 on the side of the exterior surface 111. The second mounting portion 13 is surrounded by an edge portion 1121 of the rear surface 112 of the main body portion 11. The angled design of the second mounting portion 13 also allows the outer angled surface 132 of the second mounting portion 13 to be configured to substantially conform to the outer surface of the spokes 22, 23 with which it is intended to contact.
In some embodiments, the catch arrangement 15 includes a first pair of catches 151 located on opposite sides of the second mounting portion 13, respectively. In some embodiments, the latch structure 15 further includes a second pair of latches 152 located on opposite sides of the second mounting portion 13. Wherein, each pair of the hooks can be oppositely arranged, and the first pair of the hooks 151 and the second pair of the hooks 152 can be separated by a certain distance. By providing two spaced pairs of catches 151, 152, a secure catch hold is better achieved. In some embodiments, the location of the snap feature 15 is such that: after the wheel insert 1 is mounted to the wheel 2, the snap feature 15 is not visible from the side of the exterior surface 111 of the wheel insert 1. In some embodiments, the position of the snap structure 1 is such that: the snap-fit structure 15 avoids brake caliper dynamic envelope interference after the wheel insert 1 is installed on the wheel 2.
The wheel insert 1 may further comprise an adhesive tape (e.g., double-sided adhesive tape) 17 for further securing the wheel insert 1 to the wheel 2 by gluing. In some embodiments, the tape 17 is located at some position on the edge portion 1121 of the back side 112.
The wheel insert 1 is mounted in the region of a window in the wheel 2, the shape of which can be designed in accordance with the environmental data of the wheel. The wheel insert 2 can be fixed together by bonding with the adhesive tape 17, fastening the back of the spoke with the fastening structure 15 and fastening with the wheel bolt and nut 25, so that the triple mode is combined to realize firm fixation.
The embodiment of the utility model provides an in a plurality of aspects such as buckle structure, buckle position, ventilation influence, fastening installation have been considered synthetically in wheel inserts's design. The locking mode of the outer side inclined plane of the second mounting part attached to the outer surface of the spoke facilitates mounting and is compatible with surface difference in a wheel manufacturing process. To the design of buckle position, the wall portion inclined plane of accessible extension second installation department sets up the buckle in the extension position on inclined plane for after the installation, can't see the buckle from visual position, thereby realize the hidden design of buckle, avoid the buckle to expose and reduce the pleasing to the eye effect of vision. In addition, the dynamic envelope surface of the brake caliper is prevented from interfering at the buckling position, the influence of the caliper on the wheel insert when the vehicle brakes can be prevented, the dynamic envelope surface of the brake caliper is kept away from as far as possible under the condition that the fixed requirement is met, and the influence of the brake caliper with high temperature on the insert is avoided. The wheel inserts can also reserve gaps of adhesive tapes during design, and the requirement for micro deformation when the buckles are in place is considered, and the requirement of the wheel on the ventilation area is not influenced.
Through installing the inserts on the wheel, can obtain the outward appearance effect that has more individual character characteristics, during the installation, can select suitable colour at first and carry out the spraying operation, wait to paint the operation and accomplish the back completely, can carry out the installation that inserts and wheel match, can at first through the dismantlement of wheel, select the arbitrary window of wheel correspondence shape window district, install through the wheel bolt hole, it is parallel laminating to keep the binding face of inserts main part and wheel during the installation, the whole laminating of inserts main part targets in place, do not install earlier in any one end, when closing close to the binding face soon, tear the sticky tape protection film at the main part back, then bulldoze the inserts, block to the wheel spoke back until the buckle. And finally, fastening the wheel nut through a wheel wrench to realize triple fixation of the wheel insert.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a vehicle including the above-described wheel insert. From the above disclosure, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate a vehicle incorporating the wheel insert of the present invention.
The foregoing specific embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will not be limited to these specific embodiments. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit of the invention.
