DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific implementations disclosed below.

[0045] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "up", "down", "left", "right", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be understood as limitations on this application.

[0046] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0047] In the prior art, the luminous vehicle logo assembly 2 installed on the steering wheel is relatively complex in structure and heavy, which affects the detonation effect of the airbag. In addition, the existing luminous vehicle logo assembly 2 has unstable performance because it needs to be used in conjunction with other hardening layers.

[0048] Based on this, the present application provides a luminous vehicle logo for installation on a steering wheel, comprising: a mounting cover, a vehicle logo assembly, a luminous positioning element, and a positioning connection structure. The mounting cover is connected to the steering wheel's airbag. The outer end surface of the mounting cover has a first mounting position for accommodating the vehicle logo assembly, and the inner end surface of the mounting cover has a second mounting position for accommodating the luminous positioning element. The vehicle logo assembly is mounted to the first mounting position of the mounting cover via the positioning connection structure. The vehicle logo assembly includes a transparent layer, a connecting support layer, and the vehicle logo. A corresponding injection molding structure is provided between the transparent layer and the connecting support layer, and the transparent layer and the connecting support layer are connected by the injection molding structure. The vehicle logo is displayed on the transparent layer. The luminous positioning element is disposed at the second mounting position of the mounting cover and is positioned opposite the vehicle logo assembly via the positioning connection structure. The luminous positioning element can emit bright light toward the vehicle logo assembly, causing the vehicle logo to illuminate. After the vehicle logo assembly and the luminous positioning element are respectively installed at the first and second mounting positions of the mounting cover, the outer and inner end surfaces of the mounting cover exhibit a flat structure.

[0049] It can be understood that the luminous vehicle logo provided by the present application sets the vehicle logo assembly on the outer end surface of the mounting cover, so that the airbag on the inner end surface of the mounting cover does not directly contact the vehicle logo assembly. At the same time, the luminous positioning element is set on the inner end surface of the mounting cover, and after the luminous positioning element is installed, the inner end surface of the mounting cover presents a flat structure, so that the airbag on the inner end surface of the mounting cover is more flat when in contact with the inner end surface of the mounting cover, thereby improving the stability of the contact between the airbag and the inner end surface of the mounting cover, and thus will not affect the detonation effect when the airbag is detonated. In addition, a corresponding injection molding structure is provided between the transparent layer and the connecting support layer, so that the connection between the transparent layer and the connecting support layer is more stable, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the luminous vehicle logo. In addition, the vehicle logo assembly and the luminous positioning element can be installed on the mounting cover only by the positioning connection structure, and the outer end surface and the inner end surface of the mounting cover after installation present a flat structure, which not only simplifies the installation and connection structure but also improves the aesthetics.

[0050] Next, the luminous vehicle logo provided in this application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] First embodiment

[0052] The present application provides a luminous vehicle logo installed on a steering wheel, comprising: a mounting cover 1, a vehicle logo assembly 2, a luminous positioning element 5 and a positioning connection structure 6.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting cover 1 is part of the steering wheel and is connected to the steering wheel's airbag, meaning the airbag is positioned on the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1. At one angle, the mounting cover 1 is approximately bow-shaped or U-shaped. The outer end surface 11 of the mounting cover 1 defines a first mounting location for accommodating the vehicle logo assembly 2, while the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1 defines a second mounting location for accommodating the light-emitting positioning device. These first and second mounting locations are located midway between the inner and outer end surfaces 11 of the mounting cover 1.

[0054] The vehicle logo assembly 2 is installed in the first installation position of the mounting cover 1 via the positioning connection structure 6. The vehicle logo assembly 2 includes a transparent layer 21, a connecting support layer 22, and a vehicle logo 23, and the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 are integrally formed after injection molding. Corresponding injection molding structures are provided between the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22, and the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 are connected by the injection molding structure. In this embodiment, the injection molding structure refers to the morphological structure required for the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 during injection molding. The corresponding injection molding structures provided between the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 allow for rapid injection molding of the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22. Specifically, in one example, the injection molding structure is provided on the second end surfaces of the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22, respectively, and the injection molding structure includes a cavity surface 31 and an embedded surface structure 32, wherein the cavity surface 31 refers to a structure having a cavity structure but only having an end surface on one side. The accommodating cavity surface 31 is provided on the second end surface of the transparent layer 21 , and the embedded surface structure 32 is provided on the second end surface of the connecting support layer 22 . The embedded surface structure 32 is attached to the accommodating cavity surface 31 to realize the injection molding connection between the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 .

[0055] The transparent layer 21 has a glass-like transparency. It is made of acrylic or transparent PC (polycarbonate). This transparent material imparts a glass-like transparency to the transparent layer. The connecting support layer 22 is opaque. The non-transparent material of the connecting support layer 22 is polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

[0056] Furthermore, in one example, the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 are rectangular, and the middle of the rectangle forms an inclined surface with respect to the end surfaces on both sides. Of course, in other examples, the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 can also be other injection molding forms.

[0057] When the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 are each rectangular, and the end surfaces on opposite sides of the middle portion of the rectangle form inclined surfaces, the corresponding accommodating cavity surface 31 includes a first accommodating surface 311 and a first position-limiting connecting surface 312, and the corresponding embedded surface structure 32 includes a second accommodating surface 411 and a second position-limiting connecting surface 412. The first accommodating surface 311 and the second accommodating surface 411 are opposed to each other in a first direction, and the accommodating morphological structures of the first accommodating surface 311 and the second accommodating surface 411 are adapted to each other. The adaptation of the accommodating morphological structures of the first accommodating surface 311 and the second accommodating surface 411 means that the morphological structures of the first accommodating surface 311 and the second accommodating surface 411 can be attached to or connected to each other. The first direction refers to the direction in which the transparent layer 2121 and the connecting support layer 22 are connected. The first position-limiting connection surfaces 312 are disposed on opposite sides of the first accommodating surface 311 in the second direction, and the first position-limiting connection surfaces 312 form a first position-limiting connection angle 313 relative to the first accommodating surface 311. Correspondingly, the second position-limiting connection surfaces 412 are disposed on opposite sides of the second accommodating surface 411 in the second direction, and the second position-limiting connection surfaces 412 form a second position-limiting connection angle relative to the second accommodating surface 411. The first position-limiting connection surfaces 312 and the second position-limiting connection surfaces 412 are adapted and connected to achieve sequential connection between the transparent layer 2121 and the connection support layer 22. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0058] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first limiting connection surface 312 and the second limiting connection surface 412, in addition to being provided as injection-molded shapes, also have a certain limiting connection function, thereby making the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 more stable during injection molding. Moreover, most importantly, the first limiting connection angle 313 and the second limiting connection angle respectively make the first limiting connection surface 312 and the second limiting connection surface 412 curved. This structural form can prevent the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 from being observed as a layered structure. That is, although the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 are multi-layer structures, after injection molding through this morphological structure, only the entire vehicle logo assembly 2 composed of the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 can be seen from this direction.

[0059] In one example, the first position-limiting connection angle 313 and the second position-limiting connection angle are preferentially set at the first position-limiting connection surface 312 on one side.

[0060] In this embodiment, the car logo 23 is presented on the transparent layer 21, and the transparent layer 21 has a glass-like transparent texture. Specifically, in one example, the car logo 23 is provided on the transparent layer 21. In one example, the car logo 23 is carved out by laser engraving. The specific style of the car logo 23 is set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here. In one example, the car logo assembly 2 also includes a car logo decoration hole 24, and the car logo decoration hole 24 is provided on the connecting support layer 22, and the main body of the connecting support layer 22 is opaque. The car logo decoration hole 24 is opposite to and adapted to the car logo 23, and the car logo 23 is presented on the transparent layer 21 through the transparent layer 21. Among them, the car logo decoration hole 24 is adapted to the car logo 23, which means that the shape and size of the car logo decoration hole 24 are the same as the shape and size of the outer contour of the car logo 23, so that the car logo decoration hole 24 and the car logo 23 can overlap in one direction.

[0061] In this embodiment, the vehicle logo assembly 2 is installed at the installation position of the installation cover 1 through the positioning connection structure 6. In one example, the positioning connection structure 6 is arranged between the first end surface of the connection support layer 22 and the first installation position of the installation cover 1, and the positioning connection structure 6 includes: a welding column 61, a first installation groove 62, a connection card hole 63, a positioning pin 65 and a positioning hole 66. In one example, the welding column 61 is arranged at the first end surface of the connection support layer 22 and faces the installation cover 1. There are multiple welding columns 61, and the thickness of the welding columns 61 can be set to different. The positioning pin 65 is arranged at the first end surface of the connection support layer 22 and is located on the side of the welding column 61. In one example, there are two positioning pins 65, and they are respectively located on the side of the welding column 61, specifically on both sides of the first end surface of the connection support layer 22. In one example, there are four positioning pins 65, and every two positioning pins 65 are located on both sides of the first end surface of the connection support layer 22. The first mounting groove 62 is recessed in the outer end surface 11 of the mounting cover 1, and the first mounting groove 62 can serve as the first mounting position of the mounting cover 1. In one example, corresponding to the rectangular shape of the connecting support layer 22, the groove shape of the first mounting groove 62 is set to a rectangle. The connecting card hole 63 is corresponding to the welding column 61 and is set through the bottom of the first mounting groove 62. The connecting card hole 63 passes through the bottom of the first mounting groove 62, which means that the connecting card hole 63 passes through the mounting cover 1, and specifically passes through the first mounting position of the mounting cover 1. The orifice size of the connecting card hole 63 can be different, and it is plugged into the corresponding welding column 61. The positioning hole 66 is corresponding to the positioning pin 65, and is set through the bottom of the first mounting groove 62. The positioning hole 66 is positioned and connected to the positioning pin 65. After the welding column 61 is inserted into the connection hole 63 , the column head of the welding column 61 is welded to the inner end surface 12 of the installation cover 1 to fix the connection support layer 22 to the first installation position of the installation cover 1 .

[0062] The luminous positioning element 5 is located at the second mounting position of the mounting cover 1, on one side of the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1, and is positioned opposite the vehicle logo assembly 2 via a positioning connection structure 6. Specifically, the luminous positioning element 5 includes a light guide plate 51, a PCB board 52, a power supply assembly 53, and a positioning connection hole 54. The positioning connection structure 6 also includes a second mounting groove 64, which is recessed into the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1. The second mounting groove 64 serves as the second mounting position for the mounting cover 1, with the bottom of the second mounting groove 64 located on one side of the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1. The groove shape of the second mounting groove 64 matches the shape and size of the light guide plate 51. The light guide plate 51 is mounted in the second mounting groove 64. The PCB board 52 is positioned on either side of the light guide plate 51. The power supply assembly 53 is connected to the PCB board 52. In one example, the power supply assembly 53 includes a power connector and a power line, one end of which is connected to the PCB board 52, and the other end of which is connected to the power connector. The electrical connector is connected to the vehicle's electrical connector. The positioning connection hole 54 is provided at the bottom of the light guide plate 51 and the second mounting slot 64. The positioning connection hole 54 provided on the light guide plate 51 passes through the light guide plate 51, and the positioning connection hole 54 provided at the bottom of the second mounting slot 64 passes through the bottom of the second mounting slot 64. The positioning connection hole 54 passing through the bottom of the second mounting slot 64 means that the positioning connection hole 54 passes through the mounting cover 1, and specifically, passes through the second mounting position of the mounting cover 1. The positioning connection holes 54 provided at the bottom of the light guide plate 51 and the second mounting slot 64 are opposite and can overlap in one direction. The positioning connection holes 54 correspond to the welding column 61 and the connecting card hole 63, respectively. Specifically, the positioning connection holes 54 correspond to a portion of the welding column 61 and a portion of the connecting card hole 63, respectively. The portion of the welding column 61 and the portion of the connecting card hole 63 are within the projection range of the light guide plate 51. After the welding column 61 is inserted into the connecting card hole 63 of the first mounting groove 62, the positioning connecting hole 54 of the second mounting groove 64 and the positioning connecting hole 54 of the light guide plate 51 in sequence, the column head of the welding column 61 is welded to the inner end surface 12 of the light guide plate 51, thereby installing the light-emitting positioning element 5 on the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1.

[0063] It should be noted that, since the welding post 61 is provided on the first end surface of the connection support layer 22, after the welding post 61 is sequentially inserted into the connection clamp hole 63 of the first mounting slot 62, the positioning connection hole 54 of the second mounting slot 64, and the positioning connection hole 54 of the light guide plate 51, and the head of the welding post 61 is welded to the inner end surface 12 of the light guide plate 51, the connection support layer 22 can also be fixedly connected to the mounting cover 1. In addition, the connection support layer 22 is injection-molded with the transparent layer 21, thereby connecting the entire vehicle logo assembly 2 to the mounting cover 1.

[0064] It should also be noted that, in one example, the bottom of the first mounting groove 62 and the bottom of the second mounting groove 64 can be set as a hollow structure, and the edge of the first mounting groove 62 can support the connection support layer 22. The edge of the second mounting groove 64 can support the connection light guide plate 51. The main purpose of setting the bottom of the first mounting groove 62 and the bottom of the second mounting groove 64 as a hollow structure is to achieve light transmission, that is, to directly irradiate the light beam of the light guide plate 51 to the various layers of the vehicle logo assembly 2 so as not to be blocked by the bottom of the first mounting groove 62 and the bottom of the second mounting groove 64. In addition, in another example, the bottom of the first mounting groove 62 and the bottom of the second mounting groove 64 can be set as a light-transmitting structure, through which the light beam of the light guide plate 51 can directly irradiate the various layers of the vehicle logo assembly 2.

[0065] In one example, the positioning connection structure 6 can also be the following structure. Specifically, the positioning connection structure 6 is arranged between the first end surface of the connection support layer 22 and the installation position of the installation cover 1. The positioning connection structure 6 includes: a positioning connection protrusion, a reverse limit hook, a first installation groove 62, a connection card hole 63, a positioning pin 65 and a positioning hole 66. Among them, the positioning connection protrusion is arranged on the first end surface of the connection support layer 22 and faces the installation cover 1. There are multiple positioning connection protrusions, and the thickness of the positioning connection protrusions can be set to different. The positioning pin 65 is arranged on the first end surface of the connection support layer 22 and is located on the side of the positioning connection protrusion. In one example, there are two positioning pins 65, and they are respectively located on the side of the positioning connection protrusion, specifically on both sides of the first end surface of the connection support layer 22. In one example, there are four positioning pins 65, and every two positioning pins 65 are located on both sides of the first end surface of the connection support layer 22. The reverse limit hook is integrally formed with the end of the positioning connection protrusion. The first mounting groove 62 is recessed into the outer end surface 11 of the mounting cover 1 and serves as the mounting location for the mounting cover 1. In one example, the first mounting groove 62 is rectangular, corresponding to the rectangular shape of the connection support layer 22. A connecting latch 63 is provided corresponding to the positioning connection protrusion and extends through the bottom of the first mounting groove 62. The fact that the connecting latch 63 extends through the bottom of the first mounting groove 62 means that the connecting latch 63 extends through the mounting cover 1, specifically through the first mounting location of the mounting cover 1. The opening of the connecting latch 63 can vary in size and engages with the corresponding positioning connection protrusion. A positioning hole 66 is provided corresponding to a positioning pin 65 and extends through the bottom of the first mounting groove 62, where it is positioned and connected to the positioning pin 65. After the positioning connection protrusion is engaged with the connecting latch 63, a reverse stop hook engages with the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1, securing the connection support layer 22 in the first mounting location of the mounting cover 1.

[0066] Correspondingly, the luminous positioning element 5 is located at the second mounting position of the mounting cover 1, on one side of the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1, and is positioned opposite the vehicle logo assembly 2 via a positioning connection structure 6. Specifically, the luminous positioning element 5 includes a light guide plate 51, a PCB board 52, a power supply assembly 53, and a positioning connection hole 54. The positioning connection structure 6 also includes a second mounting groove 64, which is recessed into the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1. The second mounting groove 64 serves as the second mounting position for the mounting cover 1, with the bottom of the second mounting groove 64 located on one side of the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1. The groove shape of the second mounting groove 64 matches the shape and size of the light guide plate 51. The light guide plate 51 is mounted in the second mounting groove 64. The PCB board 52 is positioned on either side of the light guide plate 51. The power supply assembly 53 is connected to the PCB board 52. In one example, the power supply assembly 53 includes a power connector and a power line, one end of which is connected to the PCB board 52, and the other end of which is connected to the power connector. The electrical connector is connected to the vehicle's electrical connector. The positioning connection hole 54 is provided at the bottom of the light guide plate 51 and the second mounting slot 64. The positioning connection hole 54 provided on the light guide plate 51 passes through the light guide plate 51, and the positioning connection hole 54 provided at the bottom of the second mounting slot 64 passes through the bottom of the second mounting slot 64. The positioning connection hole 54 passing through the bottom of the second mounting slot 64 means that the positioning connection hole 54 passes through the mounting cover 1, and specifically, passes through the second mounting position of the mounting cover 1. The positioning connection holes 54 provided at the bottom of the light guide plate 51 and the second mounting slot 64 are opposite and can overlap in one direction. The positioning connection holes 54 correspond to the positioning connection protrusion and the connection card hole 63, respectively. Specifically, the positioning connection holes 54 correspond to part of the positioning connection protrusion and part of the connection card hole 63, respectively. These parts of the positioning connection protrusion and the connection card hole 63 are within the projection range of the light guide plate 51. After the positioning connection protrusion is inserted into the connection card hole 63 of the first mounting groove 62, the positioning connection hole 54 of the second mounting groove 64 and the positioning connection hole 54 of the light guide plate 51 in sequence, the reverse limit hook is clamped on the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1, thereby installing the light-emitting positioning element 5 on the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1.

[0067] It should be noted that, since the positioning connection protrusion is provided on the first end surface of the connection support layer 22, after the positioning connection protrusion is sequentially inserted into the connection clamping hole 63 of the first mounting groove 62, the positioning connection hole 54 of the second mounting groove 64, and the positioning connection hole 54 of the light guide plate 51, and the reverse limit hook is engaged with the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1, the connection support layer 22 can also be fixedly connected to the mounting cover 1. In addition, the connection support layer 22 is injection-molded with the transparent layer 21, thereby connecting the entire vehicle logo assembly 2 to the mounting cover 1.

[0068] It should also be noted that in the positioning connection structure 6, in one example, the bottom of the first mounting groove 62 and the bottom of the second mounting groove 64 can be set as a hollow structure, and the edge of the first mounting groove 62 can support the connection support layer 22. The edge of the second mounting groove 64 can support the connection light guide plate 51. The main purpose of setting the bottom of the first mounting groove 62 and the bottom of the second mounting groove 64 as a hollow structure is to achieve light transmission, that is, to directly irradiate the light beam of the light guide plate 51 to the various layers of the vehicle logo assembly 2 so as not to be blocked by the bottom of the first mounting groove 62 and the bottom of the second mounting groove 64. In addition, in another example, the bottom of the first mounting groove 62 and the bottom of the second mounting groove 64 can be set as a light-transmitting structure, through which the light beam of the light guide plate 51 is directly irradiated to the various layers of the vehicle logo assembly 2.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle logo assembly 2 is arranged on the outer end surface 11 of the mounting cover 1, so that the airbag on the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1 does not directly contact the vehicle logo assembly 2. At the same time, the luminous positioning element 5 is arranged on the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1, and after the luminous positioning element 5 is installed, the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1 presents a flat structure, so that the airbag on the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1 is more flat when in contact with the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1, thereby improving the stability of the contact between the airbag and the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1, and thus will not affect the detonation effect when the airbag is detonated.

[0070] The present application provides a luminous vehicle logo installed on a steering wheel, including:

[0071] The mounting cover 1, the vehicle logo assembly 2, the luminous positioning element 5, and the positioning connection structure 6 are installed.

The vehicle logo assembly 2 is mounted on the first mounting position of the mounting cover 1 via the positioning connection structure 6. The vehicle logo assembly 2 includes a transparent layer 21, a connecting support layer 22, and a vehicle logo 23. A corresponding injection molding structure is provided between the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22, and the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 are connected via the injection molding structure. The vehicle logo 23 is displayed on the transparent layer 21. The luminous positioning element 5 is provided at the second mounting position of the mounting cover 1 and is arranged opposite to the vehicle logo assembly 2 via the positioning connection structure 6. The luminous positioning element 5 can emit bright light to the vehicle logo assembly 2 to make the vehicle logo 23 illuminate. After the vehicle logo assembly 2 and the luminous positioning element 5 are respectively installed at the first installation position and the second installation position of the installation cover 1, the outer end surface 11 and the inner end surface 12 of the installation cover 1 can present a flat structure.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle logo assembly 2 is arranged on the outer end surface 11 of the mounting cover 1, so that the airbag on the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1 does not directly contact the vehicle logo assembly 2. At the same time, the luminous positioning element 5 is arranged on the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1. After the luminous positioning element 5 is installed, the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1 presents a flat structure, so that the airbag on the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1 is more flat when in contact with the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1, thereby improving the stability of the contact between the airbag and the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1, and thus will not affect the detonation effect when the airbag is detonated. In addition, a corresponding injection molding structure is provided between the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22, so that the connection between the transparent layer 21 and the connecting support layer 22 is more stable, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the luminous vehicle logo. In addition, the vehicle logo assembly 2 and the luminous positioning element 5 can be installed on the mounting cover 1 only through the positioning connection structure 6, and the outer end surface 11 and the inner end surface 12 of the mounting cover 1 after installation present a flat structure, which not only simplifies the mounting connection structure but also improves the aesthetics.
