[0070] The decorative ring assembly 2 includes a decorative ring A21, a decorative ring B22 and a decorative ring C23. One end of the decorative ring A21 is provided with a bearing seat 24 that matches the first ball bearing A38, and the other end is provided with a lower bearing mounting groove 25 that matches the first ball bearing B39. The decorative ring B22 is provided with an upper bearing mounting groove 26 that matches the lower bearing mounting groove 25.

[0075] The rotating shaft 28 is fixed with a second ball bearing A295 and a second ball bearing B296 on the inner and outer sides of the worm gear 291 respectively.

[0076] A magnetic steel assembly 297 is fixed to the outer end of the rotating shaft 28, and the magnetic steel assembly 297 includes a magnet 2971 and a magnetic steel sleeve 2972.

[0083] When the present invention is in use, the decorative ring assembly 2 has three active surfaces, specifically surface A, surface B and surface C. Figure 13 It shows the structure diagram of the decorative ring assembly 2 rotating to the A side. Figure 14 It shows the structure diagram of the decorative ring assembly 2 rotating to the B side. Figure 15It shows a structural diagram of the decorative ring assembly 2 rotated to the C surface.

[0084] When the decorative ring assembly 2 rotates to the A side, the active surface is entirely made of opaque plastic, and the light emitted by the light source module 11 cannot pass through. In actual product design, this can be defined as the state of the decorative ring assembly 2 in the locked vehicle mode, and the light source module 11 is extinguished accordingly.

[0085] When the decorative ring assembly 2 is rotated to the B side, the active surface consists of two parts, transparent plastic and opaque plastic. The light emitted by the light source module 11 can pass through the opaque plastic. In actual product design, brake lights, daytime running lights, reversing lights, turn signals, automatic driving lights, front position lights, rear position lights, etc. can be realized. When the brake lights, daytime running lights, reversing lights, turn signals, and automatic driving lights are realized, the light source module 11 needs to be controlled to be high-bright, and when the front position lights and rear position lights are realized, the light source module 11 needs to be controlled to be low-bright.

[0086] When the decorative ring assembly 2 is rotated to the C surface, the active surface consists of two parts, transparent plastic and opaque plastic. The light emitted by the light source module 11 can pass through the opaque plastic. In actual product design, brake lights, daytime running lights, reversing lights, turn signals, automatic driving lights, front position lights, rear position lights, etc. can be realized. When the brake lights, daytime running lights, reversing lights, turn signals, and automatic driving lights are realized, the light source module 11 needs to be controlled to be high-bright, and when the front position lights and rear position lights are realized, the light source module 11 needs to be controlled to be low-bright.

[0087] For example, the following designs can be made for the bezel assembly 2 when it is rotated to the A, B, and C surfaces:

[0088] Locking mode: the bezel assembly 2 rotates to the A side, and the light source module 11 is turned off;

[0089] Driving Mode 1: The bezel assembly 2 rotates to the B side, and the white LED in the light source module 11 is highlighted, realizing the daytime running light function. The white light emitted by the light source module 11 illuminates the light guide bar 32, and the pattern on the back of the light guide bar 32 reflects the light to the B side, and is refracted into a corresponding light spot by the optical pattern on the B side.

[0090] Driving Mode 2: The bezel assembly 2 rotates to the B side, and the yellow LED in the light source module 11 is highlighted, realizing the turn signal function. The yellow light emitted by the light source module 11 illuminates the light guide bar 32, and the pattern on the back of the light guide bar 32 reflects the light to the B side, and is refracted into a corresponding light spot by the optical pattern on the B side.

[0091] Driving Mode 3: The bezel assembly 2 rotates to the B side, and the red LED in the light source module 11 is highlighted, realizing the brake light function. The red light emitted by the light source module 11 illuminates the light guide bar 32, and the pattern on the back of the light guide bar 32 reflects the light to the B side, and is refracted into a corresponding light spot by the optical pattern on the B side.

[0092] Driving Mode 4: The bezel assembly 2 rotates to the B side, and the red LED in the light source module 11 is dimmed, realizing the front position light and rear position light functions. The red light emitted by the light source module 11 illuminates the light guide bar 32, which is reflected to the B side by the pattern on the back of the light guide bar 32. The light is refracted into corresponding light spots by the optical pattern on the B side.

[0093] Driving mode 5: The bezel assembly 2 rotates to the C surface, and the white LED in the light source module 11 is highlighted to realize the reversing light function. The light spot of the reversing light is too different from that of other lights. It is set on the C surface and not set together with other lights. The white light emitted by the light source module 11 illuminates the light guide bar 32, and the pattern on the back of the light guide bar 32 reflects the light to the C surface, and is refracted into a corresponding light spot through the optical pattern on the C surface.

[0094] It should be noted that the rotation of the bezel assembly 2 takes time. When there is a combination of a brake light and a rear position light, or a combination of a turn signal light, a front position light, and a rear position light, they can be placed on the same rotation plane, for example, on the B plane or the C plane.

[0095] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are merely specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and is subject to numerous variations. All variations that can be directly derived or conceived by a person of ordinary skill in the art from the disclosure of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
