[0055] The main function of a car horn is to emit sound signals to alert other road users (such as pedestrians, drivers of other vehicles) of the presence or intention of the vehicle, such as overtaking, turning, stopping, etc.
[0056] Currently, the driver can only convey specific information or intentions to other road users by pressing the car horn, such as warnings, reminders, or requests for yielding, etc., and cannot realize the function of shouting to people outside the vehicle.
[0057] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle logo and a vehicle. The vehicle logo and the vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application will be introduced in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.
[0058] An embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body, a logo 1, and a control component. The logo 1 is disposed on the outer surface of the vehicle body; the control component is disposed inside the vehicle body and is electrically connected to the logo 1.
[0059] See Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the logo 1 includes a logo body 10 and a sound generating component 20. The logo body 10 has a receiving cavity 101, and the logo body 10 is provided with a sound transmission hole; the sound generating component 20 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101. The sound generating component 20 includes a circuit board 21, a signal processing unit, and a speaker 22. The signal processing unit and the speaker 22 are disposed on the circuit board 21 and are electrically connected to the circuit board 21.
[0060] The control component is used to turn on or off the speaker 22 and generate an input signal. The signal processing unit is used to receive and process the input signal, and the speaker 22 is used to convert the input signal into sound and play it through the sound transmission hole.
[0061] In the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, a sound generating component 20 including a circuit board 21, a signal processing unit, and a speaker 22 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101 of the logo body 10. Through the signal processing unit and the speaker 22 disposed on the circuit board 21, an input signal can be received and processed and converted into sound, and finally played out through the sound transmission hole. It can be seen that through the solution of the embodiment of the present application, the function of shouting at people outside the vehicle can be realized, and information can be transmitted to people outside the vehicle in a timely manner. In this way, not only can the driving safety be improved, but also functions such as shouting and searching for people can be realized, effectively improving the practicability and playability of the vehicle.
[0062] In addition, the sound generating component 20 of the embodiment of the present application is disposed inside the logo body 10. Compared with an additional handheld horn or loudspeaker, it does not occupy any space inside the vehicle compartment and is more convenient and reliable to use.
[0063] Among them, the shape of the vehicle logo body 10 can be various regular shapes such as cylindrical, disc-shaped, spherical, ellipsoidal, annular, etc., or other special-shaped ones. The control component can adopt the vehicle head unit installed on the vehicle's center console. For example, a multimedia host (Head Unit System, HUT) can be used. The user can turn on or off the speaker 22 through the control component. In addition, for a control component with a human-computer interaction function, the user can directly emit the sound that needs to be played outside. This sound generates an input signal through the control component. For a control component without a human-computer interaction function, a microphone can be additionally set on the control component. The microphone is electrically connected to the circuit board 21. The microphone is used to pick up the sound that the user emits and needs to be played outside and convert this sound into an input signal. After the signal processing unit performs noise reduction, amplification and other processing on the input signal, it sends the signal to the speaker 22. Finally, the speaker 22 plays the sound outside through the sound transmission holes.
[0064] The vehicle logo 1 can be set on the intake grille, fender, trunk lid, and the hub cap of the wheel. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the installation position of the vehicle logo 1. It can be understood that when the number of vehicle logos 1 is multiple, the vehicle logo 1 can be set at multiple positions on the vehicle body. Therefore, when shouting at people outside the vehicle through the vehicle logo 1, the shouting sound can spread without dead angles around the vehicle.
[0065] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the vehicle logo body 10 may include a base 11 and a cover 12. The cover 12 covers the base 11; the circuit board 21 is fixedly connected to the base 11; the sound transmission holes are arranged on the bottom wall and / or the peripheral wall of the base 11.
[0066] Among them, the base 11 and the cover 12 can be fixedly connected in various ways, such as hot melt welding method, ultrasonic welding method, etc. The hot melt welding method is suitable for the product shells or parts of hot riveting plastics, making plastics thermally bonded to plastics or plastics riveted to metal sheet parts. In terms of the embodiment of the present application, inherent plastic riveting posts can be reserved on the base 11 or the cover 12 as the riveting heads to realize the connection between the base 11 and the cover 12. The ultrasonic welding method is to conduct ultrasonic waves through the welding head to the inherent plastic riveting posts reserved on the base 11 or the cover 12 by the welding machine, so that the plastic riveting posts are melted by frictional heat, thereby completing the connection between the base 11 and the cover 12. Ultrasonic welding can melt the base 11 and the cover 12 into an integral body, thereby realizing the seamless combination of the two, effectively avoiding the water or dust outside the vehicle logo body 10 from entering the vehicle logo body 10 through the joint part of the base 11 and the cover 12, and ensuring the sealing performance of the vehicle logo 1.
[0067] The number and aperture size of the sound transmission holes can be flexibly set according to actual needs. For example, only one sound transmission hole can be set, or multiple sound transmission holes can be set. To ensure good sound transmission effect, when only one sound transmission hole is set, the aperture in this one sound transmission hole is larger than that of each sound transmission hole in multiple sound transmission holes. The multiple sound transmission holes can be arranged in various forms, such as annular array, rectangular array, circular array, linear array, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the sound transmission holes, the sound emitted by the speaker 22 can pass through and be played outwards. Refer to Figure 4 , the sound transmission holes can be set on the bottom wall of the base 11. In addition, the sound transmission holes can also be set on the peripheral wall of the base 11. By flexibly setting the sound transmission holes, a better sound generation effect can be obtained.
[0068] Considering preventing moisture from entering the vehicle logo 1 through the sound transmission holes, in some embodiments, a waterproof sound transmission membrane 111 can also be provided at the position of the base 11 corresponding to the sound transmission holes, and the waterproof sound transmission membrane 111 covers the sound transmission holes. The waterproof sound transmission membrane 111 can be made of a variety of polymer materials. The polymer materials include polyurethane (PU), polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET), polyolefin, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE), etc. The waterproof sound transmission membrane 111 made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) material has a network structure formed by the connection of fine fibers, the mesh holes are evenly distributed on the surface of the membrane, and the aperture of the mesh holes can be 0.02μm - 2μm, having excellent waterproof performance and high sound transmission performance at the same time.
[0069] Considering that the user shouts to people outside the vehicle through the vehicle logo 1, in some embodiments, the sound generating component 20 can further include a wireless communication module, and the wireless communication module is arranged on the circuit board 21 and electrically connected to the circuit board 21; the wireless communication module is used to provide an input signal to the signal processing unit. Among them, the wireless communication module can adopt a Bluetooth module, a Wi-Fi module, a ZigBee module, etc. The above several modules belong to common wireless communication modules. Since they are not the focus of the technical solution of the present application, they will not be elaborated here. Of course, the wireless communication module provided by the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the above several modules, and designers can select a suitable wireless communication module according to various factors such as cost, transmission distance, and signal stability.
[0070] In some embodiments, the sound - generating component 20 may further include a light array 23. The light array 23 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21. The light array 23 includes a plurality of lamp beads 231. The housing 12 has a transparent area 121 and a light - shielding area 122. Among them, the transparent area 121 is set in a predetermined logo shape of a vehicle.
[0071] It can be understood that by providing the light array 23, the logo 1 can realize the function of emitting light on the basis of the sound - generating function, so that the logo 1 can not only play an identification role during the day, but also be lit at night or in an environment with insufficient light, so that the logo 1 can be clearly displayed, helping the vehicle to be more prominent visually and improving driving safety.
[0072] The plurality of lamp beads 231 of the light array 23 can be linear, such as a straight line, a curve, etc., or can be arranged in various other ways such as a polygon, a ring, a semi - ring, a grid, etc. For example, the light array 23 can be distributed in a polygon. Among them, a lamp bead 231 is provided at each of the plurality of vertices and the geometric center of the polygon. The polygon can be a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, etc. The diameter sizes of the plurality of lamp beads 231 can be the same or different. For example, referring to Figure 5 , the diameter sizes of the lamp beads 231 at the six vertices of the hexagon can be the same as the diameter size of the lamp bead 231 at the geometric center of the hexagon. Of course, the diameter size of the lamp bead 231 at the geometric center of the hexagon can also be set larger. The lamp bead 231 with a larger diameter size can better disperse current and heat, so it also has a longer service life.
[0073] A specific black coating and / or metal plating can be printed on the inner surface of the housing 12. The black coating and / or metal plating can be peeled off by physical vapor deposition (PVD) and other methods to form a transparent area 121 with a specific pattern. In some embodiments, the transparent area 121 of the housing 12 can be a planar structure or a concave structure 1211. Referring to Figure 3 . Among them, the concave structure 1211 makes the transparent area 121 present a better three - dimensional sense and improves the pattern display effect of the logo 1.
[0074] In some embodiments, the number of speakers 22 is multiple, and the multiple speakers 22 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the lamp bead 231 at the geometric center of the polygon. Referring to Figure 5When the polygon is a hexagon, a lamp bead 231 can be provided at each vertex of the hexagon, and a lamp bead 231 can also be provided at the geometric center of the hexagon. The number of speakers 22 can be multiple, such as two, four, six, etc. Among them, the multiple speakers 22 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the lamp bead 231 at the geometric center of the polygon. In this way, a better sound effect can be obtained for the vehicle logo 1. For the convenience of wiring, the speaker 22 can be arranged on the connecting cable between two adjacent lamp beads 231.
[0075] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limiting them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and the description of the present application.
