[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] The car logo is one of the most important parts of a vehicle, enhancing its brand recognition and reflecting its refined and technological qualities. Existing technology already exists for some car brands with retractable logos. This type of vehicle typically features a logo hole on the hood. When the vehicle is in use, the logo is raised from the lower part of the hood to the upper part for prominent display. When the vehicle is not in use, the logo is hidden beneath the hood, and the logo hole on the hood is blocked by a logo cover. The logo cover fits snugly within the hood to conceal the logo hole.

[0044] In the existing technology, in order to achieve the switching of the car logo and the car logo cover plate at the car logo hole on the front hood, multiple drive systems are used and then multiple transmission systems are used to control the car logo and the car logo cover plate respectively, and the car logo and the car logo cover plate are controlled separately by independent drive systems. However, although this method can achieve the hiding of the car logo, the structure and procedure are relatively complex, the reliability is low and the cost of use is high, and there is room for improvement. Some car dealers' car logo switching devices are equipped with a power output mechanism, and the output end of the power output mechanism controls the car logo and the car logo cover plate respectively through two independent transmission systems to achieve the switching of the car logo and the car logo cover plate at the car logo hole. However, this method still uses two transmission systems, and the structure and control procedure are relatively complex, the reliability is low and the cost of use is high.

[0045] Figure 1 It is a vehicle logo switching device according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising a vehicle logo base 100 and a drive assembly 200. The vehicle logo base 100 comprises at least a first body base 110 and a second body base 120, wherein the first body base 110 and the second body base 120 are arranged at an angle. The drive assembly 200 is adapted to drive the vehicle logo base 100 to displace and rotate, so that the first body base 110 and the second body base 120 are switched at the vehicle logo position; wherein the first body base 110 is adapted to install the first vehicle logo, and the second body base 120 is adapted to install the vehicle logo cover. The displacement of the present invention refers to the displacement of the center or center of mass of the vehicle logo base 100, including but not limited to the vehicle logo base 100 being able to move in a vertical direction or continuously changing the direction of movement during the movement. The drive mechanism drives the vehicle logo base 100 to rotate so that the vehicle logo base 100 rotates along its own circumferential direction by a preset angle.

[0046] The first body base 110 and the second body base 120 of the present invention are arranged at an angle on the vehicle logo base 100. The vehicle logo base 100 is driven to displace and rotate by a set of driving mechanisms, thereby realizing the switching of the first body base 110 and the second body base 120 at the vehicle logo position, simplifying the structural design, improving the reliability of the switching device, and low cost. The first body base 110 of the present invention is suitable for installing the first vehicle logo. It can be understood that the first vehicle logo can be detachably installed on the first body base 110, or it can be integrally formed with the first body base 110. The second body base 120 is suitable for installing the vehicle logo cover. When the second body base 120 is installed with the vehicle logo cover, the first vehicle logo and the vehicle logo cover can be switched at the vehicle logo position. When the first vehicle logo is hidden under the front hood, the vehicle logo hole at the vehicle logo position can be covered by the vehicle logo cover, thereby improving the overall appearance of the vehicle.

[0047] The present invention achieves both displacement and rotation of the vehicle logo base 100 through a drive assembly 200; it is understandable that the drive assembly 200 of the present invention can drive the vehicle logo base 100 to perform displacement. For example, when the second body base 120 is located at the vehicle logo hole on the front hood, the drive assembly 200 can be used to drive the vehicle logo base 100 to displace downward in the vertical direction, and then drive the vehicle logo base 100 to rotate. The second body base 120 below the displaced vehicle logo hole can be rotated a certain angle to make way. At this time, the first body base 110 is also rotated a certain angle and is located just below the vehicle logo hole. The drive assembly 200 can then drive the vehicle logo base 100 to displace upward in the vertical direction, so that the first vehicle logo on the first body base 110 at least partially protrudes from the vehicle logo hole. It is understandable that the first body base 110 and the second body base 120 of the vehicle logo base 100 are arranged at an angle, and the driving mechanism can control the vehicle logo base 100 to rotate a preset angle so that the first body base 110 or the second body base 120 is arranged relative to the vehicle logo position. For example, if the angle between the first body base 110 and the second body base 120 is 60 degrees, then when the second body base 120 is located at the vehicle logo position, the driving mechanism can drive the vehicle logo base 100 to move downward in the vertical direction by a preset distance to make way, driving the vehicle logo base 100 to rotate 60 degrees. The driving mechanism can control the vehicle logo base 100 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve the switching purpose, for example, it can rotate 60 degrees clockwise or 300 degrees counterclockwise.

[0048] The first body base 110 of the present invention can be integrally formed with the first vehicle logo, or it can be detachably attached, allowing users to swap them out as needed, providing convenience and adaptability. The vehicle logo can be located in the vehicle logo hole on the hood. When the user desires to display the first body base 110, the first body base 110 is moved to the vehicle logo position. This switching is achieved by rotation, allowing the first body base 110 to at least partially protrude from the vehicle's hood. To hide the vehicle logo, the first body base 110 is retracted beneath the hood and the second body base 120 is moved to the vehicle logo position. The specific location of the vehicle logo is not specifically limited in this application and can be located on the hood or at the rear of the vehicle. The first and second body bases 110, 120 can be detachably attached to the vehicle logo base 100, allowing users to swap them out as needed, providing convenience and adaptability. Alternatively, the first and second body bases 110, 120, and the vehicle logo base 100 can be integrally formed.

[0049] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the drive assembly 200 of the present invention includes a drive mechanism 210 and a transmission mechanism 230. The drive mechanism 210 is configured to provide power output, driving the vehicle logo base 100 for movement and rotation via the transmission mechanism 230. The drive mechanism 210 can be hydraulically, pneumatically, electrically, or mechanically driven, and is configured to provide power for the displacement and / or rotation of the vehicle logo base 100 via the transmission mechanism 230. One end of the transmission mechanism 230 is connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 210, and the other end is connected to the vehicle logo base 100. To ensure that the vehicle logo base 100 moves along a predetermined path and direction, the drive assembly 200 of the present invention also includes a guide base 220, which is configured to provide guidance for the movement and rotation of the vehicle logo base 100. The guide base 220 is configured to have a first guide portion 221 extending vertically. The vehicle logo base 100 is rotatably mounted on the first guide portion 221 and is movable relative to the first guide portion 221.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first guide portion 221 of the present application includes: a guide slot 2211 and a guide slider 2212. The guide slot 2211 is configured as a clearance slot extending in the vertical direction on the guide base 220, and the guide slider 2212 is at least partially located in the guide slot 2211, and the guide slider 2212 is slidably connected to the guide slot 2211. One of the guide slider 2212 and the guide slot 2211 is provided with a protrusion, and the other is provided with a limiting groove matching the protrusion at the connection, so that the guide slider 2212 moves in the vertical direction in the guide slot 2211 and is not easy to fall off. Among them, the guide slider 2212 is provided with a mounting base, which is connected to the vehicle logo base 100 and the vehicle logo base 100 can rotate relative to the mounting base.

[0051] Specifically, the mounting base of the present invention includes a mounting body, which is generally disc-shaped. One side of the mounting body is connected to the guide slider 2212 or the guide slot 2211, and the other side is configured with a positioning post. The vehicle logo base 100 is provided with a clearance hole that matches the positioning post, so that the vehicle logo base 100 can be rotatably mounted on the mounting base. Under the action of the drive assembly 200, it can rotate around the positioning post by a preset angle to achieve switching between the first body base 110 and the vehicle logo base 100. In one embodiment, a bearing is provided between the positioning post and the clearance hole on the vehicle logo base 100 to reduce frictional resistance and improve the smoothness of the operation of the vehicle logo switching device.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it can be understood that only one of the first body base 110 and the second body base 120 can be in the car logo position. When the car logo switching device needs to switch the first body base 110 and the second body base 120, it is necessary to first move one of the first body base 110 or the second body base 120 from the car logo position and then move the other to the car logo position. The present invention uses a guide groove 2211 and a guide slider 2212 arranged in the vertical direction to make way for the first body base 110 or the second body base 120 by rising or falling in the vertical direction, and then switch by rotating. The switching here refers to setting the first body base 110 at the car logo position or setting the second body base 120 at the car logo position. The present invention does not require two sets of transmission mechanisms 230, simplifies the structural design, and reduces the space occupied by the car logo switching device inside the vehicle.

[0053] In one embodiment, the guide base 220 further includes a second guide portion 222, with at least a portion of the transmission mechanism 230 slidably connected to the second guide portion 222. Compared to the prior art, which utilizes two sets of drive mechanisms 210 or transmission mechanisms 230, the present invention further simplifies the structure of the drive assembly 200, utilizing a single transmission mechanism 230 and drive mechanism 210 to simultaneously control the movement and rotation of the rotating base. Specifically, the second guide portion 222 includes a first chute 2221 extending vertically; a second chute 2222 extending vertically, with the first chute 2221 and the second chute 2222 located on either side of the guide chute 2211; and a third chute 2223, one end of which communicates with the first chute 2221 and the other end of which communicates with the second chute 2222. The third chute 2223 is configured as an arcuate chute. It is understood that the second guide portion 222 is generally U-shaped. An end portion of the first sliding groove 2221 extending upward in the vertical direction is higher than an end portion of the second sliding groove 2222 extending upward in the vertical direction.

[0054] In one embodiment, the transmission mechanism 230 of the present invention is arranged vertically and includes a first transmission rod 2301 and a second transmission rod 2302. The output end of the drive mechanism 210 can rotate about its own axial direction to drive the first transmission rod 2301 to rotate. The first transmission rod 2301 has opposing first and second ends, the first end being connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 210. The second transmission rod 2302 has opposing third and fourth ends, the third end being rotationally connected to the second end, and the fourth end being rotationally connected to the vehicle logo base 100. The fourth end is rotationally connected to the vehicle logo base 100 via a guide post 240, and the guide post 240 is at least partially slidably connected to the second guide portion 222. The drive mechanism 210 can be a drive motor, the output end of which is connected to the first transmission rod 2301 to drive the first transmission rod 2301 to rotate. The second transmission rod 2302, driven by the first transmission rod 2301, pulls the car logo base 100 to move along the first guide portion 221; at this time, the guide column 240, driven by the second transmission rod 2302, moves along the direction set by the second guide portion 222. When the guide column slides in the first slide groove 2221, it will first drive the car logo base to move downward in the vertical direction, and then drive the first body base 110 to move downward, and the first car logo on the first body base 110 will also move downward out of the car logo hole; when the guide column 240 moves in the direction set by the second guide portion 222, the guide column 240 will first drive the car logo base to move downward in the vertical direction, and then drive the first body base 110 to move downward, and the first car logo on the first body base 110 will also move downward out of the car logo hole; Driven by the second transmission rod 2302, it moves to the third slide groove 2223, that is, when the vehicle logo base 100 moves to the preset position, the second transmission rod 2302 drives the vehicle logo base 100 to rotate, and at this time the second body base will rotate to the bottom of the vehicle logo position; when the guide column 240 moves to the second slide groove 2222, the second body base 120 will move upward in the vertical direction to the vehicle logo position, so that the first body base 110 and the second body base 120 are switched at the vehicle logo position.

[0055] In one embodiment, the vehicle logo base 100 further includes a connecting end 130, which is disposed at an angle to the first body base 110 and / or to the second body base 120. The connecting end 130 and the vehicle logo base 100 can be integrally injection-molded, or the connection can be detachable. Multiple first body bases 110 can be provided, allowing users to switch between them based on their preferences.

[0056] In particular, the present invention also provides a vehicle, characterized by the above-mentioned vehicle logo switching device. The first body base 110 and the second body base 120 of the vehicle of the present invention are arranged at an angle to the vehicle logo base 100, and the vehicle logo base 100 is driven to displace and rotate by a set of driving components 200, thereby realizing the switching of the first body base 110 and the second body base 120 at the vehicle logo position, simplifying the structural design, improving the reliability of the switching device, and low cost. The existing first body base 110 and the second body base 120 are separately arranged, and need to be controlled separately by two sets of transmission mechanisms 230 to realize the switching of the first body base 110 and the second body base 120 at the vehicle logo position. This method has a complex structure, low reliability and high cost.

[0057] The vehicle logo switching device of the present invention includes a vehicle logo base 100 and a drive assembly 200. The vehicle logo base 100 includes at least a first body base 110 and a second body base 120, which are arranged at an angle. The drive assembly 200 is suitable for driving the vehicle logo base 100 to move and rotate, so that the first body base 110 and the second body base 120 switch between the vehicle logo positions. The present invention uses the drive assembly 200 to achieve both displacement and rotation of the vehicle logo base 100, simplifying the structure of the vehicle logo switching device while improving its reliability.
