The wheel assembly and the vehicle provided by the embodiment of the application are described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the present embodiment discloses a wheel assembly including a wheel 100, a tire, a wheel cover 200, and a threaded fastener 300.

The wheel 100 includes a disc 110, a rim 120, and a hub, the rim 120 being mounted on the inner side of the tire for supporting the tire; the disc 110 is connected between the hub and the rim 120, and the disc 110 protects the rim 120; the hub is a support member on which the wheel 100 travels. The spoke 110 is formed with a through hole 111.

The wheel cover 200 includes a decorative portion 210, the decorative portion 210 being disposed opposite to the wheel disc 110, the decorative portion 210 being opened with a screw coupling hole 211.

One end of the threaded fastener 300 passes through the through hole 111 and is in threaded fit with the threaded connection hole 211, so that the wheel decoration cover 200 is detachably connected with the wheel 100, the wheel decoration cover 200 abuts against the wheel disc 110, and the wheel decoration cover 200 is in threaded connection with the wheel disc 110 through the threaded fastener 300, so that the wheel decoration cover 200 is prevented from loosening or even falling off in the running process of a vehicle. Therefore, the problem that the existing wheel decoration cover 200 is not firmly installed can be solved by the embodiment of the application.

Alternatively, the number of the spokes 110 is at least five, the spokes 110 are arranged at intervals in a direction around the hub, and the decorative portions 210 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the spokes 110.

In an alternative embodiment, the decorative portion 210 includes a main body portion 212, and the screw coupling hole 211 may be opened in the main body portion 212, in order to avoid the excessive weight of the wheel cover 200, the thickness of the main body portion 212 is generally set to be smaller, and the coupling area of the screw fastener 300 and the decorative portion 210 is smaller, and the coupling stability is poor. Therefore, optionally, the decorative portion 210 further includes a connecting portion 213, the connecting portion 213 is connected to the main body portion 212, the connecting portion 213 is disposed on a surface of the main body portion 212 facing the spoke 110, the connecting portion 213 protrudes out of the main body portion 212, the threaded connection hole 211 is opened in the connecting portion 213, and the connecting portion 213 abuts against the spoke 110, so that a connection area between the threaded fastener 300 and the decorative portion 210 is increased, and connection stability of the wheel decorative cover 200 is improved.

In an optional embodiment, the connection portion 213 includes a first connection portion 213a and a second connection portion 213b, and the second connection portion 213b is sleeved outside the first connection portion 213a, optionally, the second connection portion 213b and the first connection portion 213a may be a split structure or an integrated structure, and when the second connection portion 213b and the first connection portion 213a are in the split structure, they may be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, or the like; when the second connecting portion 213b and the first connecting portion 213a are integrally formed, they may be integrally injection-molded for easy installation. The rigidity of the first connecting portion 213a and the rigidity of the second connecting portion 213b may be equal, but since most of the wheel trim covers 200 are currently made of aluminum alloy, which has a low rigidity, the connecting portion 213 is easily deformed when the connecting portion 213 receives a large force. Based on this, optionally, the rigidity of the first connecting portion 213a is greater than that of the second connecting portion 213b, and the threaded connecting hole 211 is opened in the first connecting portion 213a, so as to increase the rigidity and the torsion resistance of the second connecting portion 213, thereby better withstanding the torque required when the threaded fastener 300 is tightened, and avoiding the deformation of the connecting portion 213 when the applied force is large. Alternatively, the first connection portion 213a may be a copper sleeve, and the threaded connection hole is opened on an inner wall of the copper sleeve, but the first connection portion 213a may also be made of other relatively rigid metals, such as steel, iron, etc., and is not limited in this respect. Further alternatively, the outer circumferential surface of the first connection portion 213a may have splines, so as to increase the connection firmness of the first connection portion 213a and the second connection portion 213 b.

Alternatively, the direction in which the wheel trim cover 200 extends toward the wheel 100 is a first direction in which the cross-sectional area of the second connection portion 213b may be equal, and at this time, if the cross-sectional area is smaller, the connection area of the second connection portion 213b with the main body portion 212 is smaller, and the connection stability thereof is poor; if the cross-sectional area is large, the weight and cost of the wheel trim cover 200 will increase. Therefore, alternatively, the second connecting portion 213b includes a first connecting section having a cross-sectional area gradually decreasing along the first direction, that is, the first connecting section has a tapered structure, which can increase a connecting area of the connecting portion 213 and the main body portion 212, improve connection stability of the connecting portion 213, and reduce weight and cost of the wheel trim cover 200.

The end surface of the first connection section may directly abut against the wheel disc 110, and at this time, in the process of installing the wheel trim cover 200, the through hole 111 of the wheel disc 110 needs to be aligned with the threaded connection hole 211 of the wheel trim cover 200, so that the threaded fastener 300 smoothly passes through the through hole 111 and extends into the threaded connection hole 211, but in this case, an installer needs to observe and try many times to align the through hole 111 of the wheel disc 110 with the threaded connection hole 211 of the wheel trim cover 200, which may reduce the installation efficiency of the wheel trim cover 200. Therefore, further optionally, the positioning groove 112 is formed on the side of the spoke 110 facing the wheel trim cover 200, the through hole 111 is communicated with the positioning groove 112, the second connecting portion 213b further has a second connecting section, the second connecting section is connected with the first connecting section, and the second connecting section is in positioning fit with the positioning groove 112, so that the through hole 111 of the spoke 110 is rapidly aligned with the threaded connecting hole 211 of the wheel trim cover 200, and the installation efficiency of the wheel trim 200 is improved. In the first direction, the cross-sectional areas of the second connection sections are equal, and the cross-sectional area of the second connection section is equal to the minimum value of the cross-sectional area of the first connection section, so as to ensure that the contact area between the end surface of the second connection section and the groove bottom of the positioning groove 112 is large, thereby improving the stability of the wheel trim cover 200.

In an alternative embodiment, the wheel assembly further includes an adhesive member, and optionally, the adhesive member may be anti-loose glue, and may also be another adhesive member with anti-loose performance, which is not limited specifically herein. The threaded fastener 300 includes a threaded connection portion 310, and the adhesive member is disposed on the threaded connection portion 310, so as to further improve the connection stability of the threaded fastener 300 and prevent the wheel trim cover 200 from loosening. In addition, the bonding piece still has the leakproofness, avoids the water stain gap between entering threaded fastener 300 and the threaded connection hole, and then avoids leading to wheel dress trim cover 200, spoke 110 and threaded fastener 300 to rust after the water stain gets into this gap.

In the process of screwing the threaded fastener 300, once the length of the threaded connection portion 310 entering the threaded connection hole 211 is too large, the threaded connection hole 211 is easily damaged, and therefore, in an alternative embodiment, the threaded fastener 300 further includes a limiting portion 320, the limiting portion 320 is connected to the threaded connection portion 310, and the limiting portion 320 is located on a side of the spoke 110 away from the wheel trim cover 200, so as to prevent the threaded connection portion 310 from entering the threaded connection hole 211 to be too large, and protect the threaded connection hole 211. The wheel assembly further includes a washer 400, and the washer 400 is disposed between the stopper portion 320 and the spoke 110, so as to prevent the stopper portion 320 from wearing the spoke 110, thereby protecting the spoke 110.

In an alternative embodiment, the wheel trim cover 200 further includes a central portion 220, the trim portion 210 is connected to the central portion 220, the number of the screw coupling holes 211 is at least three, including a first screw coupling hole, a second screw coupling hole, and a third screw coupling hole, and the through holes 111 and the screw fasteners 300 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence to the screw coupling holes 211, thereby improving the coupling stability of the wheel trim cover 200 to the wheel 100. The first threaded connection hole and the third threaded connection hole are respectively adjacent to the edge of the decoration part 210, the second threaded connection hole is adjacent to the central part 220, and the first threaded connection hole, the second threaded connection hole and the third threaded connection hole are distributed in a triangular shape, so that the acting force applied to the wheel decoration cover 200 and the wheel spoke 110 is dispersed, the damage of the wheel decoration cover 200 and the wheel spoke 110 due to the overlarge local stress is avoided, and meanwhile, the edge of the wheel decoration cover 200 is prevented from tilting.

In a further alternative embodiment, the decorative portion 210 includes a first reinforcing bead 214, a second reinforcing bead 215, and a third reinforcing bead 216, and the first reinforcing bead 214, the second reinforcing bead 215, and the third reinforcing bead 216 are provided on a surface of the decorative portion 210 facing the wheel disc 110, thereby improving the strength of the decorative portion 210. One end of the first reinforcing bead 214 is connected to the center portion 220, the other end of the first reinforcing bead 214 extends to the edge of the decorative portion 210, one end of the second reinforcing bead 215 and one end of the third reinforcing bead 216 are connected to the first reinforcing bead 214, respectively, the other end of the second reinforcing bead 215 and the other end of the third reinforcing bead 216 extend to the edge of the decorative portion 210, respectively, and the second reinforcing bead 215 and the third reinforcing bead 216 are located at both sides of the first reinforcing bead 214, respectively, thereby preventing the partial occurrence of the dent of the decorative portion 210. First threaded connection hole and second threaded connection hole are all seted up in first strengthening rib 214, third threaded connection hole has been seted up to at least one in second strengthening rib 215 and the third strengthening rib 216, just can only second strengthening rib 215 set up third threaded connection hole, also can only third strengthening rib 216 set up third threaded connection hole, third threaded connection hole can also all be seted up to second strengthening rib 215 and third strengthening rib 216, that is to say, each threaded connection hole 211 is all seted up in the strengthening rib, thereby avoid installing the in-process that the cover 200 was decorated to the wheel, threaded fastener 300 damages threaded connection hole 211, decorate cover 200 with the protection wheel.
