Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of car accessories, and in particular to an automobile caliper cover and its fixing structure.
With the development of economy, cars also enter every family, and many car owners will refit and replace wheel hubs, however, a brake caliper is mounted on the wheel hub and is thus an important part of the wheel hub. In addition to being replaced by genuine refit brake calipers, the original calipers on the market only have two decorative products: caliper spray painting and caliper cover installation. The caliper spray painting can only add a layer of paint on the original caliper, and the paint will become black under the influence of brake dust for a long time. In addition, paint spraying itself is also very troublesome.
At present, caliper covers on the market are divided into universal calipers and dedicated caliper covers, and the universal caliper cover needs to be glued. If brake pads need to be replaced, detaching the caliper cover will be very difficult, and it is not safe during use. At the same time, it will also affect the heat dissipation of the caliper, and the shape does not match because the original caliper is ever-changing and cannot completely wrap the caliper; and the dedicated car caliper is obtained by punching through an arc-shaped plane die with an aluminum alloy plate, has an arc-shaped plane profile, can cover the original caliper, and is fixed and installed with a buckle. In addition, the existing caliper cover has obvious defects due to the design of a fixed structure: the buckle is too large and too long, a connection bracket is too long, the amount of buckle deformation is large, the amount of bracket deformation is large, and the clamping force of the buckle is insufficient, which easily causes the caliper cover to shake and rub against the wheel hub. The buckle is too large, which will rub against a brake disc, affecting driving safety. Finally, the existing caliper cover has the disadvantage of a poor heat dissipation effect during use.
To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides an automobile caliper cover and its fixing structure, to enhance the fastening force greatly, to provide necessary security, improves the installation efficiency, fastness and safety of the part of the caliper.
In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present application provides the following technical solution:

As shown in
Wherein the fixing member comprises a first fixing member 110 and a second fixing member 120, which are respectively mounted on two sides of the first arc-shaped side plate 140; and the first fixing member 110 comprises a connection bracket 114a, a first bent portion 111 fixedly connected to the connection bracket 114a and a second bent porn on 112 cooperating with the first bent portion 111 and fixing the connection bracket 114a to the car caliper. The second fixing member 120 comprises a connection bracket 114b and a fixing buckle 121 fixedly connected to the connection bracket 114b, the fixing buckle 121 being used for fixing the connection bracket 114b to the car caliper. The first bent portion 111 and the second bent portion 112 are fixedly connected by a bolt. Specifically, the connection bracket 114a/114b is a 2 mm 6061T6 high-strength aluminum alloy plate. The connection bracket 114a/114b has at least one bent portion. Preferably, the connection bracket 114a/114b has two bent portions to enhance the strength of the connection bracket 114a/114b and facilitate joint installation of the connection bracket 114a/114b, and at the same time the heat conducted to the cover body 100 can be dissipated. The first bent portion 111 and the second bent portion 112 are both made of a high-strength stainless steel spring sheet, and the hardness of the spring sheet reaches 400. By the design of the first bent portion 111 and the second bent portion 112, the fastening strength of the fixing member is greatly improved, and the car caliper cover can be firmly mounted on the car caliper.
In an embodiment of the present application, the first fixing member 110 and the second fixing member 120 are provided on the two sides of the first arc-shaped side plate 140, and fixing devices of the two fixing members are different. The first bent portion 111 is fixed to a three-dimensional folded edge provided on the connection bracket 114a by two stainless steel semi-hollow rivets, and the three-dimensional folded edge is provided with a hole for a screw to pass through to fix a hexagon socket head cap screw 113. The second bent portion 112 has a three-dimensional folded edge, which increases the strength of the second bent portion 112, the three-dimensional folded edge is provided with a hole for a screw to pass through to cooperate with the hole of the first bent portion 111, and the hexagon socket head cap screw 113 is used for connection and fixation. The device is simple in structure, firm in fixation, and fast in installation, the caliper cover can be firmly fixed to the caliper only by the hexagon socket head cap screw 113 and a nut, and the problem of deformation and shaking of the caliper cover is minimized. The fixing buckle 121 of the second fixing member 120 is fixed to the connection bracket 114b via two stainless steel semi-hollow rivets, and the connection bracket catches a gap between brake discs of a caliper bracket by the folded edge. The caliper cover is fixed by the first fixing member 110 and the second fixing member 120, and is then fastened by the stainless steel screw 113 and a lock-nut, thus the caliper cover is more safe and reliable, and assembly and disassembly thereof are convenient and cost less time. Since the cover body 100 is entirely made of an aluminum alloy material, and is fixedly connected to the caliper through an aluminum alloy custom connection bracket 114b above the caliper cover, the heat of the caliper can be dissipated through the aluminum alloy caliper cover with a good heat dissipation function.
The surface of the cover body 100 of the embodiment of the present application is coated with a layer of electrostatic powder coating, which has excellent UV and salt mist resistance and corrosion resistance, especially for brake dust, and is particularly convenient in cleaning without discoloration.
