The first positioning ring 5 is used to control the first lock tongue 11 to be inserted into or removed from the first lock core 17. The second positioning ring 6 is used to control the second lock tongue 12 to be inserted into or removed from the second lock core 18. A first stopper 19 for blocking the second connecting rod 14 is fixed to the left end of the turntable 8. A second stopper 20 for blocking the fourth connecting rod 16 is fixed to the lower end of the turntable 8. A third stopper 21 and a fourth stopper 22 are convexly provided along the circumference of the rear end of the turntable 8. The third stopper 21 and the fourth stopper 22 are used to contact the outer wall of the bracket 3. A first track 23 which is slidably matched with the first vehicle logo 1 is fixed to the upper end of the bracket 3. A second track 24 corresponding to the first track 23 is fixed to the upper end of the turntable 8. A third track 25 corresponding to the first track 23 is fixed to the right end of the turntable 8. The second lock disk 10 covers the first lock core 17 and the second lock core 18 to prevent the first lock core 17 and the second lock core 18 from falling off.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, at this time, the second track 24 is aligned with the first track 23, and the first track 23 and the second track 24 are spliced ​​together to facilitate the movement of the first vehicle logo 1. Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the third track 25 is aligned with the first track 23, and the first track 23 and the third track 25 are spliced ​​together to facilitate the movement of the second vehicle logo 2.

[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the top of the first stopper 19 blocks the second connecting rod 14. The first stopper 19 is arranged to enable the second connecting rod 14 to rotate counterclockwise to drive the rotating disk 8 to rotate counterclockwise. Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the top of the second stopper 20 blocks the fourth connecting rod 16. The second stopper 20 is arranged to enable the fourth connecting rod 16 to drive the rotating disk 8 to rotate clockwise when rotating clockwise.

[0018] like Figure 1As shown, the end of the second connecting rod 14 away from the first connecting rod 13 is sleeved with the output shaft of the motor 4, and the end of the fourth connecting rod 16 away from the third connecting rod 15 is sleeved with the output shaft of the motor 4.

When the first protrusion 111 contacts the first ramp 51, the first locking tongue 11 moves inward and the first spring 26 is compressed. The position of the first locking tongue 11 is determined according to the position where the first protrusion 111 contacts the inner wall of the first positioning ring 5. Fig.12 As shown, the rear end of the second locking tongue 12 has a second protrusion 121 for contacting the inner wall of the second positioning ring 6, and the lower left corner of the second positioning ring 6 is convexly provided with a second ramp 61 for contacting the second protrusion 121. When the second protrusion 121 contacts the second ramp 61, the second locking tongue 12 moves inward and the second spring 27 is compressed. The position of the second locking tongue 12 is determined according to the position where the second protrusion 121 contacts the inner wall of the second positioning ring 6.

[0021] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to stop the turntable 8 after rotating 90 degrees counterclockwise, the third stopper 21 and the fourth stopper 22 are respectively located at the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the rear end of the turntable 8.

[0022] from Figure 1The state starts working, the output shaft of the motor 4 rotates counterclockwise, driving the first lock disk 9 and the second lock disk 10 to rotate, the first lock disk 9 drives the first lock tongue 11 and the second lock tongue 12 to rotate, the first lock tongue 11 drives the first lock core 17 to rotate, the first lock core 17 drives the second connecting rod 14 to rotate 45 degrees counterclockwise, the first stopper 19 blocks the second connecting rod 14, and the first connecting rod 13 swings, so that the first car logo 1 moves downward along the first track 23 and the second track 24. Figure 2 As shown, the positions of the first locking tongue 11 and the second locking tongue 12 are as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown; the output shaft of the motor 4 continues to rotate counterclockwise, the second connecting rod 14 drives the turntable 8 to rotate counterclockwise by 90 degrees, the first vehicle logo 1, the second vehicle logo 2, the first lock tongue 11, the second lock tongue 12, the first lock core 17 and the second lock core 18 all rotate counterclockwise by 90 degrees, the first protrusion 111 of the first lock tongue 11 contacts the first ramp 51, so that the first lock tongue 11 moves inward, the first lock tongue 11 is separated from the first lock core 17, the second protrusion 121 of the second lock tongue 12 is separated from the second ramp 61, and the second lock tongue 12 moves outward by the elastic force of the second spring 27, so that the second lock tongue 12 is inserted into the second lock core 18, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , Fig.10 As shown; the output shaft of the motor 4 continues to rotate counterclockwise, the first lock plate 9 drives the second lock tongue 12 to rotate, the second lock tongue 12 drives the fourth connecting rod 16 to rotate 45 degrees counterclockwise, and the third connecting rod 15 swings, so that the second car logo 2 moves upward along the third track 25 and the first track 23, thereby completing the switching of the car logo, as shown Figure 4 , Fig.11 When the vehicle logo needs to be switched again, the output shaft of the motor 4 rotates clockwise.

[0023] The present invention provides a vehicle logo switching device with a relatively simple structure and low cost. The device realizes smooth switching of vehicle logos through the drive of a motor 4 and mechanical linkage, which satisfies consumers' demand for personalized vehicle appearance while improving the economy and reliability of the device.

[0024] Of course, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the patent scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
