Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] It should also be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] First embodiment:

[0031] A vehicle logo switching device with an induction alarm, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a vehicle logo switching component 1, a driving component 2 and a sensing control component 3. The vehicle logo switching component 1 is provided with a flat vehicle logo 4 and a three-dimensional vehicle logo 5. The driving component 2 is used to drive the vehicle logo switching component 1 to switch between the flat vehicle logo 4 and the three-dimensional vehicle logo 5. The sensing control component 3 includes a control board 301 and a first strain gauge 302 respectively arranged below the flat vehicle logo 4 and a second strain gauge 303 arranged below the three-dimensional vehicle logo 5. The first strain gauge 302 and the second strain gauge 303 are connected to the control board 301. The control board 301 is connected to the driving component 2 and the alarm module of the vehicle 7. In this embodiment, the alarm module is a buzzer.

[0032] When the vehicle logo 4 is in the flat state, when the first strain gauge 302 detects that the external force is greater than a predetermined value, the control board 301 turns on the buzzer of the vehicle 7. At this time, the vehicle logo does not switch and remains the flat vehicle logo 4; when the vehicle logo 5 is in the three-dimensional state, when the second strain gauge 303 detects that the external force is greater than a predetermined value, the control board 301 controls the driving component 2 to switch the three-dimensional vehicle logo 5 to the flat vehicle logo 4, and turns on the buzzer of the vehicle 7, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of the vehicle logo subjected to external force, and effectively reducing the risk of damage and theft of the vehicle logo.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the car logo switching component 1 includes a base 101, which is fixed in the car. A slide groove 102 and a drive groove 103 are provided on the base 101. The slide groove 102 and the drive groove 103 both pass through the side wall of the base 101. The slide groove 102 extends in the vertical direction, and the drive groove 103 is opened along a U-shaped path. The U-shaped path opening of the drive groove 103 faces upward and is symmetrically opened below the slide groove 102. A bracket 104 is rotatably connected in the slide groove 102, and the bracket 104 slides along the slide groove 102. Two protrusions extend from the bracket 104, respectively. The support rod 105 is used to fix the flat car logo 4 and the three-dimensional car logo 5. There is a certain angle between the two support rods 105. One of the support rods 105 is switched to a vertical state by rotating the bracket 104. A driving rod 106 is also extended from the bracket 104. The other end of the driving rod 106 is slidably connected to the driving groove 103, thereby driving the bracket 104 to rotate and slide and rise and fall in the slide groove 102, realizing the switching between the flat car logo 4 and the three-dimensional car logo 5. The driving component 2 is used to drive the driving rod 106 to slide in the driving groove 103.

[0034] When in the three-dimensional car logo 5 state, the driving rod 106 is located at the top left side of the driving slot 103. When the driving rod 106 slides along the top left side of the driving slot 103 to the top right side, it will drive the bracket 104 to undergo a process of descending, rotating, and rising, thereby switching the three-dimensional car logo 5 to a flat car logo 4. Conversely, when the driving rod 106 slides along the top right side of the driving slot 103 to the top left side, the flat car logo 4 is switched to a three-dimensional car logo 5.

[0035] The bracket 104 protrudes toward the inside of the slide groove 102 and has a first boss 107 that is slidably connected to the slide groove 102. The bracket 104 slides in the slide groove 102 through the first boss 107. The first boss 107 is adapted to the width of the slide groove 102. Specifically, the first boss 107 is cylindrical and the peripheral side wall fits the inner wall of the slide groove 102. Therefore, the first boss 107 can rotate in the slide groove 102, realizing the rotation connection between the bracket 104 and the slide groove 102, driving The rod 106 also protrudes toward the driving groove 103 and has a second boss 108 that is slidably connected to the driving groove 103. The driving rod 106 moves along a U-shaped path through the cooperation between the second boss 108 and the driving groove 103. The second boss 108 is adapted to the width of the driving groove 103. Specifically, the second boss 108 is cylindrical and the peripheral side wall fits the inner wall of the driving groove 103. Therefore, the second boss 108 will not be stuck when sliding along the driving groove 103.

[0036] A first limiting cover 109 is fixed to the side of the first boss 107 away from the bracket 104. The first limiting cover 109 is cylindrical and coaxially arranged with the first boss 107. The first limiting cover 109 fits the side wall of the base 101 and has a diameter greater than the width of the slide groove 102, so that the first boss 107 will not fall out when sliding in the slide groove 102. A second limiting cover 110 is fixed to the side of the second boss 108 away from the driving rod 106. The second limiting cover 110 is cylindrical and coaxially arranged with the second boss 108. The second limiting cover 110 fits the side wall of the base 101 and has a diameter greater than the width of the driving groove 103, so that the second boss 108 will not fall out when sliding in the driving groove 103.

[0037] The driving assembly 2 includes a motor 201, a first connecting rod 202 and a second connecting rod 203. One end of the first connecting rod 202 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 201, and the other end is hinged to the second connecting rod 203. The end of the second connecting rod 203 away from the first connecting rod 202 is hinged to the driving rod 106. When the motor 201 rotates, the first connecting rod 202 and the second connecting rod 203 cooperate to drive the driving rod 106 to slide along the U-shaped driving groove 103. In this embodiment, a reducer is connected to the output shaft of the motor 201, and the first connecting rod 202 is connected to the reducer, which is equivalent to the motor 201 being indirectly connected to the first connecting rod 202 through the reducer, which helps to stabilize operation and precise control. The reducer is locked to the base 101 by bolts.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 202 and the second connecting rod 203 as well as the second connecting rod 203 and the driving rod 106 are connected by the shoulder screw 6 to achieve hinged connection.

[0039] In this embodiment, the support rod 105 is L-shaped, and the end of the support rod 105 away from the bracket 104 is perpendicular to the bracket 104. The flat car logo 4 and the first strain gauge 302 are respectively fixed to the top and bottom of the end of the support rod 105 away from the bracket 104, and the three-dimensional car logo 5 and the second strain gauge 303 are respectively fixed to the top and bottom of the other support rod 105 away from the bracket 104. Since the end of the support rod 105 away from the bracket 104 is a cantilever beam, it is easy to deform when subjected to external force. Therefore, when the car logo is subjected to external force, the strain gauge can more easily collect deformation information.

[0040] The control board 301 is fixed on the base 101. The control board 301 is specifically a PCBA control board 301. The control board 301 and the first strain gauge 302, the second strain gauge 303, the motor 201 and the center console of the vehicle 7 are connected through a wiring harness to realize electrical signal transmission. When the control board 301 receives the signal from the center console of the vehicle 7, it controls the motor 201 to rotate, and realizes the active switching between the flat car logo 4 and the three-dimensional car logo 5. Therefore, the user can freely switch the car logo form through the center console of the vehicle 7; when in the flat car logo 4 state, when the control board 301 receives the signal from the center console of the vehicle 7, the motor 201 rotates to realize the active switching between the flat car logo 4 and the three-dimensional car logo 5. The control board 301 receives the signal collected by the first strain gauge 302. If the internal program determines that the external force exceeds the predetermined value, it will feed back to the center console of the vehicle 7, triggering the buzzer of the vehicle 7 to warn, and the car logo will remain in the flat car logo 4 state; when in the three-dimensional car logo 5 state, when the control board 301 receives the signal collected by the second strain gauge 303, if the internal program determines that the external force exceeds the predetermined value, it will control the motor 201 to rotate, switch the three-dimensional car logo 5 to the flat car logo 4, and feed back to the center console of the vehicle 7, triggering the buzzer of the vehicle 7 to warn.

[0041] Second embodiment:

[0042] A vehicle, such as Figure 5 As shown, a vehicle logo switching device with an induction alarm as described in the first embodiment is provided in the vehicle 7 .

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the design concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
