Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a method, device, vehicle, and storage medium for controlling vehicle logos. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, people have increasingly higher demands for the sophistication and technological feel of vehicles. Vehicles feature logos, which are among the most important components, enhancing brand recognition and reflecting the vehicle's refinement and technological sophistication.

[0003] In related technologies, car logos can move and rotate between a retracted position and a displayed position. However, when there is heavy rainfall, snowfall, or dust, the car logo cannot be automatically retracted. This causes rainwater, snow, or dust to enter the joint between the logo's rotating shaft and the vehicle's engine compartment roof, causing the logo's rotating shaft to rust. This, in turn, affects the raising, lowering, and rotating of the logo, reducing its lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a method, apparatus, vehicle, and storage medium for controlling vehicle logos.

[0005] This invention proposes a method for controlling a vehicle emblem, wherein the emblem is configured to be raised and lowered or to rotate along its rotation axis. When the emblem is raised to an extended state, it is located on the upper part of the vehicle's engine compartment roof and can rotate along its rotation axis. When the emblem is lowered to a retracted state, it is located on the lower part of the vehicle's engine compartment roof. The method includes the following steps: acquiring environmental information of the vehicle's current environment and the current position of the emblem; and controlling the operating state of the emblem based on the environmental information and the current position of the emblem.

[0006] In addition, the vehicle logo control method according to embodiments of the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0007] Furthermore, obtaining environmental information about the vehicle's current environment includes obtaining at least one of rainfall, snowfall, and air quality index.

[0008] Furthermore, based on the environmental information and the current position of the vehicle logo, the operating state of the vehicle logo is controlled, including: when the rainfall is greater than or equal to a preset rainfall amount and the vehicle logo is in the extended state, controlling the vehicle logo to descend until it reaches the retracted state; when the rainfall is greater than or equal to the preset rainfall amount and the vehicle logo is in the retracted state, controlling the vehicle logo to remain in the retracted state; when the rainfall is less than the preset rainfall amount, controlling the vehicle logo to remain in the current position.

[0009] Furthermore, based on the environmental information and the current position of the vehicle logo, the operating state of the vehicle logo is controlled, including: when the snowfall is greater than or equal to a preset snowfall amount and the vehicle logo is in the extended state, controlling the vehicle logo to descend until it reaches the retracted state; when the snowfall is greater than or equal to the preset snowfall amount and the vehicle logo is in the retracted state, controlling the vehicle logo to remain in the retracted state; when the snowfall is less than the preset snowfall amount, controlling the vehicle logo to remain in the current position.

[0010] Furthermore, the amount of snowfall is obtained through a rain sensor; the process of obtaining the amount of snowfall includes: when the ambient temperature is lower than a first preset temperature, heating the detection port of the rain sensor to a second preset temperature, and recording the amount of water obtained after the snowflakes melt when they fall into the detection port, and using the amount of water as the amount of snowfall, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature.

[0011] Furthermore, based on the environmental information and the current position of the vehicle logo, the operating state of the vehicle logo is controlled, including: when the air quality index is greater than or equal to a preset index and the vehicle logo is in the extended state, controlling the vehicle logo to descend until it reaches the retracted state; when the air quality index is greater than or equal to the preset index and the vehicle logo is in the retracted state, controlling the vehicle logo to remain in the retracted state; when the air quality index is less than the preset index, controlling the vehicle logo to remain in the current position.

[0012] Furthermore, before controlling the car logo to descend, the method further includes: determining whether the car logo is rotating; if so, controlling the car logo to stop rotating and then controlling the car logo to descend; if not, directly controlling the car logo to descend.

[0013] Furthermore, the control method for the car logo also includes: receiving a car logo control command sent by a car logo control switch, responding to the car logo control command, and controlling the car logo to rise, fall, start rotating, or stop rotating, wherein the car logo control command includes: a car logo rise control command, a car logo fall control command, a car logo start rotating control command, or a car logo stop rotating control command.

[0014] According to the vehicle logo control method of the present invention, by acquiring environmental information of the current environment of the vehicle and the current position of the vehicle logo, and controlling the running state of the vehicle logo based on the environmental information and the current position of the vehicle logo, excessive rainwater, snow water or sand can be prevented from entering the joint between the rotating shaft of the vehicle logo and the top cover of the vehicle engine compartment, affecting the lifting and rotating functions of the vehicle logo, thereby improving the service life of the vehicle logo. At the same time, the vehicle logo can be manually controlled by a switch, which improves the flexibility of vehicle logo control and enhances the user experience.

[0015] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention also proposes a vehicle emblem control device. The vehicle emblem is configured to be raised or lowered. When the vehicle emblem is raised to an extended state, it is located on the upper part of the vehicle's engine compartment roof and can rotate along the emblem's rotation axis. When the vehicle emblem is lowered to a retracted state, it is located on the lower part of the vehicle's engine compartment roof. The device includes: an acquisition module for acquiring environmental information of the vehicle's current environment and the current position of the vehicle emblem; and a control module for controlling the operating state of the vehicle emblem based on the environmental information and the current position of the vehicle emblem.

[0016] According to the vehicle logo control device of the present invention, by acquiring environmental information of the current environment of the vehicle and the current position of the vehicle logo, and controlling the operating state of the vehicle logo based on the environmental information and the current position of the vehicle logo, excessive rainwater, snow water or sand can be prevented from entering the joint between the vehicle logo rotating shaft and the vehicle engine compartment roof, affecting the lifting and rotating functions of the vehicle logo, thereby improving the service life of the vehicle logo. At the same time, the vehicle logo can be manually controlled by a switch, which improves the flexibility of vehicle logo control and enhances the user experience.

[0017] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention also proposes a vehicle, comprising: a vehicle logo control device as described in any of the above embodiments, or a processor, a memory, and a vehicle logo control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the vehicle logo control is implemented by the processor to achieve the vehicle logo control method as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0018] According to the vehicle of the present invention, by acquiring environmental information of the current environment of the vehicle and the current position of the vehicle logo, and controlling the operating state of the vehicle logo based on the environmental information and the current position of the vehicle logo, excessive rainwater, snow water or sand can be prevented from entering the joint between the rotating shaft of the vehicle logo and the top cover of the vehicle engine compartment, which would affect the lifting and rotating functions of the vehicle logo, thereby improving the service life of the vehicle logo. At the same time, the vehicle logo can be manually controlled by a switch, which improves the flexibility of vehicle logo control and enhances the user experience.

[0019] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing a vehicle logo control program thereon. When the vehicle logo control program is executed by a processor, it implements the vehicle logo control method as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the control program for a car emblem stored thereon is executed by a processor, it obtains environmental information of the current environment of the vehicle and the current position of the car emblem, and controls the operating state of the car emblem based on the environmental information and the current position of the car emblem. This can prevent excessive rainwater, snow water, or sand from entering the joint between the car emblem's rotating shaft and the vehicle's engine compartment roof, thus affecting the car emblem's lifting and rotating functions and improving its service life. At the same time, the car emblem can be manually controlled via a switch, improving the flexibility of car emblem control and enhancing the user experience.

[0043] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0044] The following is for reference. Figures 1-9 A method, apparatus, vehicle, and storage medium for controlling vehicle logos according to embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0045] First, combined Figure 1-7 This invention describes the vehicle logo and its related driving structure involved in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle logo is a three-dimensional logo, meaning the logo can be mounted on the top of the vehicle's engine compartment and configured to rotate along a vertically oriented logo rotation axis. Specifically, in a specific embodiment, the logo and the logo rotation axis constitute a logo assembly 40, and the logo assembly 40 and related driving structures constitute a logo device 100, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the car logo component 40 can be adopted as follows: Figure 1 The relevant drive structure in the illustrated logo device 100 can start or stop rotating.

[0047] Combination Figures 1-7 As shown, the vehicle logo device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may mainly include: a base plate 10, a logo lifting assembly 20, a logo rotating assembly 30, a logo assembly 40, and a logo position detection assembly 50. The logo lifting assembly 20 is movably disposed on the base plate 10. The logo rotating assembly 30 is driven to move up and down relative to the base plate 10 under the drive of the logo lifting assembly 20. The logo assembly 40 is disposed on the logo rotating assembly 30 and is driven to rotate relative to the base plate 10 under the drive of the logo rotating assembly 30.

[0048] Specifically, the logo component 40 is mounted on the logo rotating component 30, and the logo rotating component 30 is driven by the logo lifting component 20. This allows the logo rotating component 30 to rise and fall relative to the base plate 10 under the drive of the logo lifting component 20, thereby allowing the logo component 40 to rise and fall under the drive of the logo rotating component 30. Furthermore, since the logo component 40 and the logo rotating component 30 are driven by each other, the logo rotating component 30 can also drive the logo component 40 to rotate. This not only makes the lifting and rotation of the logo component 40 more reliable, but also simplifies the structural design of the logo device 100.

[0049] Furthermore, the logo position detection component 50 is used to detect the position of the logo component 40. The logo position detection component 50 is electrically connected to the logo rotation component 30. When the logo position detection component 50 detects that the logo component 40 is in the display position, the logo rotation component 30 drives the logo component 40 to rotate. Specifically, when the logo component 40 is in the display position, the logo 41 is located on the outside of the vehicle. When the logo position detection component 50 detects that the logo component 40 is in the display position, it can send an electrical signal to the logo rotation component 30, thereby causing the logo rotation component 30 to drive the logo component 40 to rotate. This configuration allows the logo component 40 to rotate while in the display position, which not only improves the performance of the logo device 100 but also makes the rotation of the logo component 40 more reliable and intelligent.

[0050] In addition, with this configuration, the lifting and rotation of the logo component 40 are relatively independent. That is, the lifting and rotation of the logo component 40 are achieved through two power sources, which do not interfere with each other. This can improve the independence and stability of the lifting and rotation of the logo component 40.

[0051] Therefore, by electrically connecting the logo position detection component 50 and the logo rotation component 30, when the logo component 40 is in the display position, the logo rotation component 30 can drive the logo component 40 to rotate. This not only makes the rotation of the logo component 40 in the display position more reliable, but also simplifies the structure of the logo device 100.

[0052] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the logo position detection component 50 mainly includes a position detector 51 and a controller. The position detector 51 is used to detect the position of the logo component 40. The controller is electrically connected to both the position detector 51 and the logo rotation component 30. When the position detector 51 detects that the logo component 40 is in the display position, the controller controls the logo rotation component 30 to drive the logo component 40 to rotate. Specifically, when the position detector 51 detects that the logo component 40 is in the display position, it can send an electrical signal to the controller, causing the controller to control the logo rotation component 30 to rotate, thereby causing the logo rotation component 30 to drive the logo component 40 to rotate. This not only simplifies the structural design of the logo position detection component 50, but also further improves the reliability and stability of the rotation of the logo component 40.

[0053] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the logo lifting assembly 20 has a lifting position and a stopping position. When the logo lifting assembly 20 is in the stopping position, the logo assembly 40 is in the display position. The position detector 51 is disposed on the base plate 10 and is used to detect the stopping position of the logo lifting assembly 20. Specifically, when the logo 41 is in the lifting position, the logo assembly 40 is in the non-display position. When the logo assembly 40 is applied to a vehicle, the logo assembly 40 in the non-display position will not be exposed from the vehicle. When the logo lifting assembly 20 is in the stopping position, the logo lifting assembly 20 will not continue to rise. At this time, the logo assembly 40 is in the display position. The logo lifting assembly 20 will move between the lifting position and the stopping position. When the position detector 51 detects that the logo lifting assembly 20 is in the stopping position, the position detector 51 can send an electrical signal to the controller, and the controller can control the rotation of the logo assembly 40. This can further optimize the structural design of the logo device 100.

[0054] Combination Figures 1-6As shown, a first limiting member 11 is provided on the substrate 10, and a second limiting member 21 is provided on the car logo lifting assembly 20. When the car logo lifting assembly 20 is in the stop-lift position, the second limiting member 21 and the first limiting member 11 are mutually limiting and engaged. The position detector 51 is provided on the first limiting member 11. Specifically, by providing the first limiting member 11 on the substrate 10 and the second limiting member 21 on the car logo lifting assembly 20, when the car logo lifting assembly 20 is in the stop-lift position and the car logo assembly 40 is in the display position, the first limiting member 11 and the second limiting member 21 can mutually limit and engage. By providing the position detector 51 on the first limiting member 11, the limiting and engaging relationship between the first limiting member 11 and the second limiting member 21 can directly enable the position detector 51 to detect that the car logo assembly 40 is in the display position. This not only makes the detection of the car logo assembly 40 in the display position by the position detector 51 more reliable, but also further simplifies the structural design of the car logo device 100.

[0055] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the car logo lifting assembly 20 mainly includes a lifting drive mechanism 22 and a lifting transmission mechanism 23. The lifting drive mechanism 22 is disposed on the base plate 10, and the lifting transmission mechanism 23 is movably disposed on the base plate 10. The lifting transmission mechanism 23 connects the lifting drive mechanism 22 and the car logo rotating assembly 30. A second limiting member 21 is disposed on the lifting transmission mechanism 23. Specifically, by disposing the lifting drive mechanism 22 on the base plate 10 and movably disposing the lifting transmission mechanism 23 on the base plate 10, the lifting drive mechanism 22 can transmit driving force to the lifting transmission mechanism 23. The lifting transmission mechanism 23 can move on the base plate 10, thereby driving the car logo rotating assembly 30 and the car logo component 40 on the car logo rotating assembly 30 to move. This makes the movement of the car logo rotating assembly 30 and the car logo component 40 more stable and reliable. Furthermore, by setting the second limiting member 21 on the lifting transmission mechanism 23, not only can the limiting cooperation between the first limiting member 11 and the second limiting member 21 be made more stable and reliable, but the limiting cooperation between the first limiting member 11 and the second limiting member 21 can also be made more direct.

[0056] Combination Figures 1-6As shown, the lifting transmission mechanism 23 is a multi-link mechanism, and a rotating shaft is provided between the multi-link mechanism and the car logo rotating assembly 30. The rotating shaft is a second limiting member 21. Specifically, by setting the lifting transmission mechanism 23 as a multi-link mechanism, not only can the space occupied by the lifting transmission mechanism 23 be reduced, making the structure of the lifting transmission mechanism 23 more compact, but also the movement of the car logo rotating assembly 30 driven by the lifting transmission mechanism 23 can be more stable and smooth. Furthermore, by providing a rotating shaft between the multi-link mechanism and the car logo rotating assembly 30, the car logo rotating assembly 30 can rotate relative to the multi-link mechanism while the multi-link mechanism drives the car logo rotating assembly 30 to rise and fall. This makes the rising and falling of the car logo rotating assembly 30 smoother and more stable, thereby further optimizing the structural design of the car logo device 100.

[0057] In addition, the pivot is the second limiting member 21. This not only makes full use of the structure of the pivot and simplifies the structural design of the car logo device 100, but also makes the limiting cooperation between the first limiting member 11 and the second limiting member 21 more stable and reliable.

[0058] Combination Figure 3 As shown, a first rotating shaft 221 and a second rotating shaft 222 are provided between the multi-link mechanism and the car logo rotating assembly 30. The second rotating shaft 222 is higher than the first rotating shaft 221 and serves as a second limiting member 21. Specifically, by providing the first rotating shaft 221 and the second rotating shaft 222 between the multi-link mechanism and the car logo rotating assembly 30, and making the second rotating shaft 222 higher than the first rotating shaft 221, the force on the car logo rotating assembly 30 during the lifting and lowering process can be more even. This makes the lifting and lowering of the car logo rotating assembly 30 driven by the first rotating shaft 221 and the second rotating shaft 222 more stable and smooth, preventing the car logo rotating assembly 30 from jamming during the lifting and lowering process.

[0059] Furthermore, the position detector 51 is a micro switch. When the logo lifting assembly 20 is in the stop-lift position, the second limiting member 21 contacts the micro switch. With this configuration, the micro switch is placed on the first limiting member 11. When the logo lifting assembly 20 is in the stop-lift position, and the first limiting member 11 and the second limiting member 21 are in a limiting engagement, the second limiting member 21 contacts the micro switch, thereby causing the micro switch to detect that the logo assembly 40 is in the unfolded position. This controls the logo rotating assembly 30 to rotate, making the position sensor's detection of the logo rotating assembly 30's position more stable and reliable. Even if the first limiting member 11 and the second limiting member 21 are not fully in the limiting position, the micro switch can still accurately sense the position change of the logo rotating assembly 30.

[0060] Combination Figures 1-6As shown, the lifting transmission mechanism 23 may mainly include: a drive linkage group 231, an active linkage group 232, and a driven linkage 233. The two ends of the drive linkage group 231 are connected to the lifting drive mechanism 22 and the active linkage group 232. The two ends of the active linkage group 232 are respectively connected to the logo rotating assembly 30 and the base plate 10. The two ends of the driven linkage 233 are respectively connected to the logo rotating assembly 30 and the base plate 10. The base plate 10 is provided with a sliding groove 12, and one end of the driven linkage 233 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 12. Specifically, by connecting the two ends of the drive linkage 231 to the lifting drive mechanism 22 and the active linkage 232, the lifting drive mechanism 22 can transmit the driving force to the drive linkage 231, and the drive linkage 231 can transmit the driving force to the active linkage 232. Since the two ends of the active linkage 232 are respectively connected to the logo rotating assembly 30 and the base plate 10, the active linkage 232 can drive the movement of the logo rotating assembly 30. Since the two ends of the driven linkage 233 are respectively connected to the logo rotating assembly 30 and the base plate 10, the movement of the logo rotating assembly 30 can drive the movement of the driven linkage 233. Thus, not only can the lifting transmission mechanism 23 stably drive the movement of the logo rotating assembly 30, but the movement of the logo rotating assembly 30 can also be made more stable and reliable, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the movement of the logo rotating assembly 30.

[0061] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the drive linkage assembly 231 mainly includes: a first drive rod 2311 and a second drive rod 2312. The two ends of the first drive rod 2311 are connected to the lifting drive mechanism 22 and one end of the second drive rod 2312, while the other end of the second drive rod 2312 is connected to the active linkage assembly 232. Specifically, by connecting the two ends of the first drive rod 2311 to the lifting drive mechanism 22 and one end of the second drive rod 2312, and connecting the other end of the second drive rod 2312 to the active linkage assembly 232, the lifting drive mechanism 22 can transmit driving force to the first drive rod 2311, which in turn can transmit driving force to the second drive rod 2312, and finally, through the second drive rod 2312, the driving force can be transmitted to the active linkage assembly 232. This not only makes the transmission of driving force in the drive linkage assembly 231 more stable but also makes the structure of the drive linkage assembly 231 more compact, thus optimizing the structural design of the drive linkage assembly 231.

[0062] Combination Figures 1-6As shown, the active linkage assembly 232 may mainly include: a first active rod 2321, a second active rod 2322, and an anti-theft actuator 2323. One end of the first active rod 2321 is connected to the base plate 10, one end of the drive linkage assembly 231 is connected to the first active rod 2321, and the other end of the first active rod 2321 is selectively connected to the anti-theft actuator 2323. Both ends of the second active rod 2322 are connected to the car logo rotating assembly 30 and the anti-theft actuator 2323. Specifically, the drive linkage 231 can transmit the driving force to the first active rod 2321. Since the two ends of the first active rod 2321 are connected to the base plate 10 and the anti-theft actuator 2323 respectively, the first active rod 2321 can drive the anti-theft actuator 2323 to move. Since the two ends of the second active rod 2322 are connected to the car logo rotating assembly 30 and the anti-theft actuator 2323, the anti-theft actuator 2323 can drive the second active rod 2322 to move, thereby causing the second active rod 2322 to drive the car logo rotating assembly 30 to move. This not only improves the stability and reliability of the active linkage 232 driving the car logo rotating assembly 30 to move, but also simplifies the structural design of the active linkage 232.

[0063] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the anti-theft actuator 2323 may mainly include: an actuator 23231, a mounting bracket 23232, and an unlocking component 23233. The actuator 23231 is disposed on the base plate 10 and is connected to the second drive rod 2322. The mounting bracket 23232 is disposed on the second drive rod 2322. The unlocking component 23233 is disposed on the mounting bracket 23232 and is in transmission cooperation with the actuator 23231. The unlocking component 23233 selectively unlocks the first drive rod 2321. Specifically, when the logo component 40 of the logo device 100 is subjected to an external force, the logo rotation component 30 can transmit the external force to the unlocking member 23233 and drive the unlocking member 23233 to unlock the first active lever 2321. This setting can not only improve the stability of the unlocking member 23233 in unlocking the first active lever 2321 and improve the anti-theft reliability of the anti-theft actuator 2323, but also make the structure of the anti-theft actuator 2323 simpler and more direct, and simplify the structural design of the logo device 100.

[0064] Furthermore, the actuator 23231 is a gas spring. When the logo assembly 40 is in the normal display position, the gas spring is in a compressed state and has a certain elastic potential energy. When the unlocking component 23233 unlocks the first active rod 2321, the gas spring releases the elastic potential energy and drives the logo lifting assembly 20 to lower the logo assembly 40, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the logo assembly 40 when it is lowered and hidden under external force.

[0065] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the car emblem device 100 may also mainly include: an anti-theft trigger 60, which is disposed on the car emblem rotating assembly 30 and connected to the unlocking member 23233. Specifically, by disposing of the anti-theft trigger 60 on the car emblem rotating assembly 30 and connecting it to the unlocking member 23233, when the unlocking member 23233 unlocks the first active lever 2321, the anti-theft trigger 60 can detect the unlocking member 23233's unlocking of the second active lever 2322. This allows the anti-theft trigger 60 to send electrical signals to relevant components on the vehicle, thereby triggering a corresponding anti-theft warning from the vehicle. This further improves the reliability of the car emblem device 100 and enhances the user experience of the car emblem device 100.

[0066] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the logo device 100 may also mainly include: an elastic element 13, which is disposed between one end of the driven link 233 and the base plate 10. With this arrangement, during the process of the lifting drive mechanism 22 driving the logo assembly 40 to move up and down, the elastic element 13 can not only make the driving of the lifting drive mechanism 22 on the logo assembly 40 more stable, but also promote the driving of the lifting drive mechanism 22 on the logo assembly 40. For example, when the lifting drive mechanism 22 drives the logo assembly 40 to descend, one end of the driven link 233 can squeeze the elastic element 13, which can make the movement of the driven link 233 more stable. When the lifting drive mechanism 22 drives the logo assembly 40 to rise, the elastic potential energy of the elastic element 13 can promote the movement of the driven link 233 to a certain extent, which can promote the rise of the logo assembly 40 and prevent the logo assembly 40 from getting stuck during the rise. This can further optimize the structural design of the logo device 100.

[0067] Combination Figures 1-6As shown, the lifting drive mechanism 22 includes: a housing 223, a drive member 224, a first transmission member 225, a second transmission member 226, and an output shaft 227. The housing 223 is disposed on the base plate 10. The drive member 224, the first transmission member 225, the second transmission member 226, and the output shaft 227 are disposed inside the housing 223. The first transmission member 225 is disposed on the drive member 224, and the second transmission member 226 is disposed on the output shaft 227. The first transmission member 225 and the second transmission member 226 are in a transmission cooperation. The output shaft 227 also passes through the housing 223 and is connected to a link of a multi-link mechanism. Specifically, by setting the first transmission member 225 on the drive member 224 and setting the second transmission member 226 on the output shaft 227, after the first transmission member 225 and the second transmission member 226 are in transmission cooperation, the drive member 224 can transmit the driving force to the output shaft 227. Since the output shaft 227 is connected to a link in the multi-link mechanism, the output shaft 227 can transmit the driving force to a link in the multi-link mechanism, thereby driving the movement of the car logo 41 rotation mechanism, and then driving the movement of the car logo assembly 40. This arrangement not only makes the drive of the lifting drive mechanism 22 to the lifting transmission mechanism 23 more stable, but also simplifies the structural design of the lifting drive mechanism 22 and makes the structure of the lifting drive mechanism 22 more compact.

[0068] Combination Figure 7 As shown, the car logo rotating assembly 30 mainly includes: an outer frame 33, a base 31, and a rotating drive mechanism 32. The outer frame 33 and the car logo lifting assembly 20 are in a transmission cooperation. The base 31 is movably mounted on the outer frame 33. The rotating drive mechanism 32 is located inside the base 31 and is in a transmission cooperation with the car logo assembly 40. The car logo lifting assembly 20 is in a transmission cooperation with the base 31. Specifically, by mounting the base 31 on the outer frame 33, the outer frame 33 can protect the base 31. The car logo lifting assembly 20 and the base 31 are in a transmission cooperation. The car logo lifting assembly 20 can drive the base 31 and the entire car logo rotating assembly 30 to move. When the car logo lifting assembly 20 moves the car logo rotating assembly 30 to the display position, the rotating drive mechanism 32 can drive the car logo assembly 40 to rotate. This not only makes the rotation of the car logo rotating assembly 30 more reliable but also further simplifies the structural design of the car logo rotating assembly 30.

[0069] Combination Figure 7As shown, the rotary drive mechanism 32 includes: a rotary drive member 321, a third transmission member 322, and a fourth transmission member 323. The third transmission member 322 is disposed on the rotary drive member 321, and the fourth transmission member 323 is in transmission cooperation with the third transmission member 322. The car logo assembly 40 includes: a car logo 41 and a third rotating shaft 42. The third rotating shaft 42 is disposed below the car logo 41 and passes through the base 31. The fourth transmission member 323 is disposed on the third rotating shaft 42. Specifically, when the rotary drive mechanism 32 drives the logo 41 to rotate, the rotary drive component 321 can first transmit the driving force to the third transmission component 322. The third transmission component 322 and the fourth transmission component 323 are in transmission cooperation. The third transmission component 322 can transmit the driving force to the fourth transmission component 323. Since the fourth transmission component 323 is set on the third rotating shaft 42, the fourth transmission component 323 can transmit the driving force to the third rotating shaft 42 and drive the rotation of the third rotating shaft 42, thereby driving the rotation of the logo 41. This not only makes the structure of the rotary drive mechanism 32 compact, but also makes the drive of the rotary drive mechanism 32 to rotate the logo 41 more stable and reliable, and optimizes the structural design of the rotary drive mechanism 32.

[0070] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the vehicle logo device 100 may also mainly include: a logo covering assembly 70, which is movably disposed on the base plate 10. The logo covering assembly 70 includes: a first rotating member 71, a second rotating member 72, and a logo cover plate 73. Both the first rotating member 71 and the second rotating member 72 are rotatably disposed on the base plate 10. The second rotating member 72 is disposed above the first rotating member 71. The logo rotating assembly 70 is in a transmission engagement with the first rotating member 71 during the retraction process. The second rotating member 72 is in a sliding engagement with the first rotating member 71. The logo cover plate 73 is disposed on the second rotating member 72. Specifically, during the rotation and retraction of the logo 41, the logo rotating component 30 can be driven and cooperated with the first rotating component 71. The first rotating component 71 can slide relative to the second rotating component 72. The rotation of the first rotating component 71 relative to the second rotating component 72 can cause the first rotating component 71 to drive the rotation of the second rotating component 72, thereby causing the second rotating component 72 to drive the logo cover plate 73 to rotate. As the logo component 40 is retracted, the hole protruding when the logo component 40 is displayed will open when the logo component 40 is retracted. The rotation of the logo cover plate 73 caused by the retraction of the logo component 40 can cause the logo cover plate 73 to cover the open hole. This setting can not only protect the internal structure of the logo device 100 and improve the structural reliability of the logo device 100, but also make full use of the retraction force of the logo component 40 when the logo covering component 70 moves, thereby simplifying the structure of the logo component 40 and further optimizing the structural design of the logo device 100.

[0071] Based on the above introduction of the car logo and related structures, the following combines... Figure 8 The present invention describes a method for controlling a car logo according to an embodiment of the invention. The car logo is, for example, the car logo component 40 described in the above embodiment. The car logo component 40 rotates relative to the substrate 10 under the drive of the car logo rotating component 30, and rises and falls relative to the substrate 10 under the drive of the car logo lifting component 20.

[0072] Figure 8 This is a flowchart of a vehicle logo control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, a method for controlling a vehicle emblem is provided. The emblem is configured to be height-adjustable or rotatable along its rotation axis. When the emblem is raised to its extended state, it is located on the upper part of the vehicle's engine compartment roof and can rotate along its rotation axis. When the emblem is lowered to its retracted state, it is located on the lower part of the vehicle's engine compartment roof. The method includes the following steps:

[0073] Step S1: Obtain environmental information of the vehicle's current location and the current position of the vehicle logo.

[0074] Specifically, the environmental information surrounding the vehicle includes rain, snow, and dust storms, while the vehicle's location information includes whether the vehicle is in an extended position. In a specific embodiment, environmental information about the vehicle's current environment can be obtained through sensors, such as a rain sensor to obtain rainfall and an air quality sensor to obtain the air quality index. The current position of the vehicle logo can be obtained through a position sensor or a dual Hall effect motor counting mechanism. It should be noted that obtaining environmental information about the vehicle's environment and the current position of the vehicle logo based on sensors, as well as obtaining the position of the vehicle logo through dual Hall effect motor counting, are all existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon here to reduce redundancy.

[0075] Step S2: Control the running status of the car logo based on environmental information and the current position of the car logo.

[0076] Specifically, after acquiring environmental information and the current position of the car logo through sensors, the sensor data can be sent to the vehicle's host computer via the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus. The host computer determines whether it is necessary to control the car logo's operating status. If so, the host computer sends a car logo control command to the car logo controller to control the car logo's operating status. Specifically, when controlling the car logo's operating status, the drive components described above can be used to drive the car logo to start or stop rotating, as well as to raise or lower it, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the car logo's operating status. The specific drive structure and principle can be found in the previous description and will not be repeated here.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, rainfall information is obtained through a rain sensor and sent to the vehicle host. The vehicle host determines whether the rainfall exceeds a preset rainfall amount. If so, it sends a car emblem descent control command to the car emblem controller. The car emblem controller controls the car emblem to descend until it reaches the retraction state, so as to avoid excessive rainwater entering the joint between the car emblem rotation shaft and the vehicle engine compartment roof, which would affect the lifting and rotation functions of the car emblem, thereby improving the service life of the car emblem.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining environmental information of the current environment of the vehicle includes obtaining at least one of rainfall, snowfall and air quality index of the current environment of the vehicle.

[0079] In a specific embodiment, the rainfall, snowfall, or air quality index of the vehicle's current environment can be obtained using a rain sensor, snowfall sensor, or air quality sensor. In another specific embodiment, the rain sensor, snowfall sensor, and air quality sensor can be positioned near the vehicle logo's rotating axis to accurately obtain the rainfall, snowfall, and air quality index in the vicinity of the logo's rotating axis.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, the operating state of the vehicle logo is controlled according to environmental information and the current position of the logo, including: when the rainfall is greater than or equal to a preset rainfall and the logo is in the extended state, the logo is controlled to descend until it reaches the retracted state; when the rainfall is greater than or equal to the preset rainfall and the logo is in the retracted state, the logo is controlled to remain in the retracted state; when the rainfall is less than the preset rainfall, the logo is controlled to remain in the current position.

[0081] Specifically, after the rainfall sensor acquires rainfall information, it sends the information to the vehicle's main unit via the CAN bus. Simultaneously, the main unit obtains the current position of the car emblem through a position sensor or dual Hall effect motor. When the rainfall is greater than or equal to a preset rainfall amount and the emblem is in the extended state, the main unit sends a car emblem descent control command to the emblem controller to control the emblem to descend until it reaches the retracted state. This prevents excessive rainwater from entering the joint between the emblem's rotating shaft and the vehicle's engine compartment roof, which could cause the emblem's rotating shaft to rust and affect the emblem's lifting and rotating functions, thus extending the emblem's lifespan. When the rainfall is greater than or equal to the preset rainfall amount and the emblem is in the retracted state, the main unit does not send a control command. When the rainfall is less than the preset rainfall amount, it is considered that the rainfall is relatively small and will not adversely affect the emblem's rotating shaft, and the main unit does not send a control command.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, the operating state of the vehicle logo is controlled according to environmental information and the current position of the logo, including: when the snowfall is greater than or equal to a preset snowfall and the logo is in the extended state, the logo is controlled to descend until it reaches the retracted state; when the snowfall is greater than or equal to a preset snowfall and the logo is in the retracted state, the logo is controlled to remain in the retracted state; when the snowfall is less than a preset snowfall, the logo is controlled to remain in the current position.

[0083] Specifically, after the snowfall sensor acquires snowfall information, it sends the information to the vehicle's main unit via the CAN bus. Simultaneously, the main unit obtains the current position of the emblem through a position sensor or dual Hall effect motors. When the snowfall is greater than or equal to a preset snowfall amount and the emblem is extended, the main unit sends an emblem descent control command to the emblem controller, controlling the emblem to descend until it reaches the retracted state. This prevents excessive meltwater from entering the joint between the emblem's rotating shaft and the vehicle's engine compartment roof, which could cause the rotating shaft to rust and affect the emblem's lifting and rotating functions, thus extending the emblem's lifespan. When the snowfall is greater than or equal to the preset snowfall amount and the emblem is retracted, the main unit does not send a control command. When the snowfall is less than the preset snowfall amount, it is considered insufficient to adversely affect the emblem's rotating shaft, and the main unit also does not send a control command.

[0084] In one embodiment of the present invention, snowfall is obtained by a rain sensor; the process of obtaining snowfall includes: when the ambient temperature is lower than a first preset temperature, heating the detection port of the rain sensor to a second preset temperature, and recording the amount of water obtained after the snowflakes melt when they fall into the detection port, and using the amount of water as the snowfall, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature.

[0085] Specifically, a rain sensor can be used to obtain the amount of water from the melting snow near the car logo's rotating shaft as the snowfall amount, thus more accurately reducing the impact of snowfall on the rotating shaft. In a specific embodiment, the first preset temperature is, for example, 0°C, and the second preset temperature is, for example, 5°C. When the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the detection port of the rain sensor is heated, for example, to 5°C. At this time, the amount of water in the rain sensor is obtained as the snowfall amount. When the snowfall amount is greater than the preset snowfall amount, it is considered that the rotating shaft of the car logo will rust, affecting the lifting and rotating functions of the car logo. At this time, the car logo is controlled to descend until it reaches the retraction state.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present invention, the operating state of the vehicle logo is controlled according to environmental information and the current position of the logo, including: when the air quality index is greater than or equal to a preset index and the logo is in an extended state, controlling the logo to descend until it reaches a retracted state; when the air quality index is greater than or equal to the preset index and the logo is in a retracted state, controlling the logo to remain in the retracted state; when the air quality index is less than the preset index, controlling the logo to remain in its current position.

[0087] Specifically, after the air quality sensor acquires the air quality index, it sends the air quality index to the vehicle's main unit via the CAN bus. Simultaneously, the main unit obtains the current position of the car emblem via a position sensor or dual Hall effect motor. When the air quality index is greater than or equal to a preset index, and the car emblem is in the extended position, the main unit sends a car emblem descent control command to the car emblem controller, controlling the car emblem to descend until it reaches the retracted state. This prevents excessive sand and dust from entering the joint between the car emblem's rotating shaft and the vehicle's engine compartment roof, causing blockage and affecting the car emblem's lifting and rotating functions, thus extending the car emblem's lifespan. When the air quality index is greater than or equal to the preset index, and the car emblem is in the retracted state, the main unit does not send a control command. When the snowfall is less than the preset index, it is assumed that the sand and dust are relatively small and will not adversely affect the car emblem's rotating shaft, and the main unit also does not send a control command.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present invention, before controlling the car logo to descend, the method further includes: determining whether the car logo is rotating; if so, controlling the car logo to stop rotating and then controlling the car logo to descend; if not, directly controlling the car logo to descend.

[0089] Specifically, when the logo controller receives the logo descent control command, it needs to determine whether the logo is rotating. If the logo is in a stopped rotating state, it controls the logo to descend to the retraction position; otherwise, it does not respond to the logo descent control command to improve the stability of the logo descent.

[0090] In a specific embodiment, to prevent the car emblem from vibrating during its descent, it needs to maintain different speeds at different points along the track. For example, at the beginning of the descent track, the emblem's speed is gradually increased to a target speed, meaning it descends slowly from the starting point. When the emblem reaches the middle of the track, it continues at the target speed. Finally, at the end of the track, the speed is gradually reduced to zero, further ensuring a smooth descent to the end point of the track, i.e., the recovery position.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle logo control method further includes: receiving a vehicle logo control command sent by a vehicle logo control switch, responding to the vehicle logo control command, and controlling the vehicle logo to rise, fall, start rotating, or stop rotating, wherein the vehicle logo control command includes: a vehicle logo rise control command, a vehicle logo fall control command, a vehicle logo start rotating control command, or a vehicle logo stop rotating control command.

[0092] Specifically, when the car emblem descends to its retracted state under the control of the emblem controller due to environmental factors, the user can send a car emblem control command through the emblem control switch to control the emblem's raising, lowering, or rotation, thereby improving the flexibility of emblem control.

[0093] In specific embodiments, users can send logo control commands via a logo lift switch, a logo rotation switch, or an in-vehicle multimedia display screen to control the logo to rise, fall, start rotating, or stop rotating. For example, a logo lift switch may have two states: on and off. When the logo lift switch is on, it can control the logo to rise or fall, thus controlling the logo's movement. For instance, when the logo controller detects that the logo lift switch is on in one direction, it receives a logo rise control command and controls the logo to rise; when the logo controller detects that the logo lift switch is on in another direction, it receives a logo fall control command and controls the logo to fall. Similarly, a logo rotation switch also has two states: on and off. When the logo rotation switch is on, it controls the logo to start rotating; when the logo rotation switch is off, it controls the logo to stop rotating, thus controlling the logo's rotation.

[0094] According to the vehicle logo control method of the present invention, by acquiring environmental information of the current environment of the vehicle and the current position of the vehicle logo, and controlling the running state of the vehicle logo based on the environmental information and the current position of the vehicle logo, excessive rainwater, snow water or sand can be prevented from entering the joint between the rotating shaft of the vehicle logo and the top cover of the vehicle engine compartment, affecting the lifting and rotating functions of the vehicle logo, thereby improving the service life of the vehicle logo. At the same time, the vehicle logo can be manually controlled by a switch, which improves the flexibility of vehicle logo control and enhances the user experience.

[0095] A further embodiment of the present invention discloses a control device for a vehicle emblem, wherein the vehicle emblem is configured to be raised or lowered. When the vehicle emblem is raised to the extended state, the vehicle emblem is located on the upper part of the vehicle's engine compartment roof and can rotate along the emblem's rotation axis. When the vehicle emblem is lowered to the retracted state, the vehicle emblem is located on the lower part of the vehicle's engine compartment roof.

[0099] In one embodiment of the present invention, the acquisition module 1001 acquires the snowfall amount through a rain sensor; the process of the acquisition module 1001 acquiring the snowfall amount includes: when the ambient temperature is lower than a first preset temperature, heating the detection port of the rain sensor to a second preset temperature, and recording the amount of water obtained after the snowflakes melt when they fall into the detection port, and using the amount of water as the snowfall amount, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature.

[0100] In one embodiment of the present invention, the control module 1002 controls the operating state of the vehicle logo based on environmental information and the current position of the vehicle logo, including: when the air quality index is greater than or equal to a preset index and the vehicle logo is in an extended state, controlling the vehicle logo to descend until it reaches a retracted state; when the air quality index is greater than or equal to the preset index and the vehicle logo is in a retracted state, controlling the vehicle logo to remain in a retracted state; and when the air quality index is less than the preset index, controlling the vehicle logo to remain in its current position.

[0101] In one embodiment of the present invention, before controlling the car logo to descend, the control module 1002 further includes: determining whether the car logo is rotating; if so, controlling the car logo to stop rotating and then controlling the car logo to descend; if not, directly controlling the car logo to descend.

[0102] In one embodiment of the present invention, the control module 1002 is further configured to: receive a vehicle logo control command sent by the vehicle logo control switch, respond to the vehicle logo control command, and control the vehicle logo to rise, fall, start rotation, or stop rotation, wherein the vehicle logo control command includes: a vehicle logo rise control command, a vehicle logo fall control command, a vehicle logo start rotation control command, or a vehicle logo stop rotation control command.
