Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a vehicle logo component, a retractable vehicle logo, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, some car models feature a vertical emblem at the front. Because this emblem is a protruding element, and for anti-theft purposes, some models allow it to be lowered below the hood, becoming a retractable emblem. This retractable emblem not only enhances the overall aesthetics of the vehicle but also adds a touch of technology, effectively elevating the vehicle's perceived quality.

[0003] However, existing retractable car emblem structures typically rely on a mechanical trigger spring to slam down the emblem when subjected to external forces. This mechanical triggering method is not only structurally complex and carries a higher risk of failure over time, but also has a single trigger threshold, making it difficult to meet the emblem protection requirements in different scenarios. Consequently, it hinders the improvement of the overall quality of retractable car emblems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a car emblem component to improve the quality of use of retractable car emblems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0040] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] This embodiment relates to a car emblem component for a retractable car emblem, which is generally installed at the front of a vehicle to enhance the overall aesthetics and class of the vehicle. Furthermore, the car emblem component of this embodiment, through the setting of a detection unit on it, can also improve the usability of the retractable car emblem.

[0043] In terms of overall structure, combined Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the car logo assembly in this embodiment includes a car logo bracket 1 and a car logo 3.

[0044] The bottom of the car logo 3 is located in the car logo bracket 1, and a detection unit is provided in the car logo bracket 1. This detection unit is used to detect the external forces exerted on the car logo 3.

[0045] At this point, by setting a detection unit in the car emblem component to detect the external force exerted on the car emblem 3, this embodiment can determine whether to trigger the anti-theft function of the car emblem 3 based on the force exerted on the car emblem 3 in actual use. It can not only set the trigger threshold in a personalized way to meet the protection requirements of the car emblem 3 in different application scenarios, but also help to simplify the product structure and reduce the risk of product failure compared with the existing mechanical triggering method. This can improve the quality of use of the lifting car emblem.

[0046] Based on the above general introduction, it is worth noting that the external force exerted on the car logo 3 is mainly an outward pulling force applied to the car logo 3. This pulling force can be, for example, a person pulling the car logo 3 outward, or, in addition to a person pulling the car logo 3 outward, the above pulling force can also be caused by other external objects coming into contact with the car logo 3, due to the movement of the object itself or the movement of the vehicle, causing the object to exert an outward force on the car logo 3.

[0047] In the car logo assembly of this embodiment, the car logo bracket 1 serves as the structural foundation of the entire assembly. It is provided with a car logo bracket hinge hole 1a, which can be connected to the car logo lifting drive structure in the vehicle, so that the car logo assembly can be raised or lowered under the drive of the car logo lifting drive structure.

[0048] In addition, in specific implementations, besides having the above-mentioned car logo bracket 1 and car logo 3, as a preferred embodiment, the car logo component of this embodiment may further include, for example, a base 2 disposed on the car logo bracket 1.

[0049] The base 2 is positioned on top of the logo bracket 1, and the logo 3 passes through the base 2 and is mounted on the logo bracket 1. It is understandable that the base 2 serves a decorative purpose, ensuring a better appearance for the logo 3 when the logo assembly is in the raised position. Furthermore, using the base 2 significantly reduces design and molding complexity compared to molding the surface directly on top of the logo bracket 1, thus contributing to lower manufacturing costs.

[0050] In this embodiment, when a base 2 is provided, as a preferred implementation, the base 2 can be snapped onto the car logo bracket 1, and based on the snapping between the base 2 and the car logo bracket 1, the base 2 can be further moved up and down relative to the car logo bracket 1.

[0051] In specific implementation, it will still be combined with Figure 2As shown, the base 2 can be snapped onto the logo bracket 1 using, for example, the base claw 2a thereon and the matching structure on the logo bracket 1. The aforementioned base claw 2a and the matching structure on the logo bracket 1 can be multiple sets disposed between the base 2 and the logo bracket 1, and the connection between the base 2 and the logo bracket 1 is achieved by snapping together. It is understood that this method has advantages such as simple structure, low cost, and convenient assembly and disassembly.

[0052] In this embodiment, the matching structure on the above-mentioned car logo bracket 1 can generally be a snap hole formed on the car logo bracket 1. The base snap claw 2a is vertically inserted into the snap hole. In this way, while realizing the snap connection between the base 2 and the car logo bracket 1, the base 2 and the car logo bracket 1 can also move up and down relative to each other.

[0053] After the base 2 and the car logo bracket 1 are engaged, in order to allow for adjustable gap between them, as a preferred embodiment, the following steps are performed: Figure 2 As shown, a support spring 4 can also be provided, for example, between the base 2 and the logo bracket 1.

[0054] The aforementioned support springs 4 can be multiple, distributed at different locations, to ensure that the base 2 is in the designed posture. Furthermore, to ensure the stability of each support spring 4, in specific implementations, receiving grooves for accommodating the ends of the support springs 4, or protrusions 1d for the support springs 4 to be sleeved on, can also be provided on the base 2 and the logo bracket 1 to limit the support springs 4 and prevent their position from shifting.

[0055] In this embodiment, taking the snap-fit ​​connection between the base 2 and the logo bracket 1 as an example, in specific implementation, to prevent the base 2 from separating from the logo bracket 1 due to the weak strength of the base claw 2a and its matching structure, a guide structure can be provided between the base 2 and the logo bracket 1 to guide their relative movement.

[0056] As one exemplary embodiment, the aforementioned guiding structure may include a guide post on one of the base 2 and the logo bracket 1, and a guide hole on the other of the base 2 and the logo bracket 1 that matches the guide post. When the guide post is inserted into the guide hole, it guides the sliding of the base 2 relative to the logo bracket 1, thereby reducing the risk of deformation or breakage of the base claw 2a and its matching structure.

[0057] In practical implementation, the aforementioned guide structure, which includes guide posts and guide holes, can preferably be multiple sets disposed between the base 2 and the logo bracket 1. This not only guides the relative movement of the base 2 relative to the logo bracket 1, but also prevents the base 2 from rotating, thus further reducing the risk of failure of the locking structure between the base 2 and the logo bracket 1.

[0058] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 3 As shown, as one possible implementation, the detection unit may include, for example, a detection component 5 employing a tension sensor, which is disposed in the logo bracket 1 and located below the logo 3, and is also connected between the logo 3 and the end cap 6 located at the bottom of the logo bracket 1.

[0059] The end cap 6 can be connected to the car logo bracket 1 by means of screwing, snap-fitting, etc., so as to realize the arrangement of the detection component 5 and the car logo 3 in the car logo bracket 1.

[0060] Furthermore, with the aforementioned detection component 5, when the logo assembly is in the raised state, if the logo 3 is subjected to an external force, the logo 3 will transmit the force it bears to the detection component 5. The detection component 5 can then sense the force value of the logo 3 and send the electrical signal corresponding to the force value to the controller in the vehicle used to control the raising and lowering of the logo 3, such as the vehicle controller.

[0061] Based on its pre-installed control program, the vehicle controller can control the movement of the vehicle logo lifting drive structure in the vehicle by judging the received electrical signals, that is, judging the force value detected by the detection component 5, so as to drive the logo component to descend and realize the anti-theft protection function of the logo 3.

[0062] Continue as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, in addition to the above structural form, as a further preferred embodiment, the car logo 3 and the car logo bracket 1 may have a certain gap, and on the basis that the detection component 5 adopts a tension sensor and the detection component 5 is connected between the car logo 3 and the end cover 6, a car logo spring 7 may also be set between the car logo 3 and the end cover 6.

[0063] At this point, by setting a car logo spring 7 between the car logo 3 and the end cap 6, it can be understood that it not only keeps the position of the car logo 3 relative to the car logo bracket 1 stable, but also, by utilizing the gap between the car logo 3 and the car logo bracket 1, helps the car logo 3 to move in multiple directions and return to its initial position after the car logo 3 moves, thus helping to increase the safety of the car logo 3 under external forces.

[0064] like Figure 5and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, in addition to the two implementation forms mentioned above, as another feasible implementation form, the detection component 5 in the detection unit can also be a pressure sensor.

[0065] At this time, the detection component 5 is still located in the logo bracket 1, and is located on both sides of the grid 1b in the logo bracket 1, along with the logo 3. Meanwhile, a bottom cover 8 is provided below the detection component 5, and a logo spring 7 is provided between the bottom cover 8 and the grid 1b. A connector 9 is provided on the bottom cover 8, which passes through the detection component 5 and the grid 1b and is connected to the logo 3.

[0066] The aforementioned connector 9 can generally be a screw, and the connector 9 can also be passed through the bottom cover 8, or the connector 9 can be fixedly connected to the bottom cover 8. In order for the connector 9 to pass through, the detection component 5 can have a structure with a through hole in the middle, and the barrier 1b can be provided with a through hole 1c that runs vertically through the top and bottom. Taking the connector 9 as an example, after passing through the detection component 5 and the barrier 1b, it can be screwed together with the bottom of the car logo 3.

[0067] It is worth noting that, in specific implementation, the bottom cover 8 needs to move relative to the car logo bracket 1 so that it can press against the detection component 5 above under the action of the car logo 3. Therefore, in order to ensure the pressing effect on the detection component 5, it is preferable that the outer diameter of the bottom cover 8 is smaller than the inner diameter of the location of the detection component 5 on the car logo bracket 1, so as to avoid interference between the bottom cover 8 and the bottom of the car frame bracket 1, which would affect the upward movement of the bottom cover 8.

[0068] Furthermore, when the detection component 5 in the detection unit adopts a pressure sensor, similar to the above-mentioned use of a tension sensor, when the logo assembly is in the raised state, if the logo 3 is subjected to an external force, and it is still mainly referring to the outward pulling force applied to the logo 3, the logo 3 pulls the connector 9 upward, the connector 9 drives the bottom cover 8 to move upward, and the bottom cover 8 presses against the detection component 5.

[0069] In this way, the detection component 5 can also sense the force value applied to the car emblem 3 and send the corresponding electrical signal to the vehicle controller. Based on its pre-installed control program, the vehicle controller can select and control the operation of the car emblem lifting drive structure in the vehicle to lower the car emblem component and realize the anti-theft protection function of the car emblem 3.

[0070] The car emblem component of this embodiment adopts the above design. By setting a detection unit for detecting the external force exerted on the car emblem 3, it can determine whether to trigger the anti-theft function of the car emblem 3 based on the force exerted on the car emblem 3 in actual use. It can also set the trigger threshold in a personalized way to meet the protection requirements of the car emblem 3 in different application scenarios. At the same time, compared with the existing mechanical triggering method, it also helps to simplify the product structure, reduce the risk of product failure, and improve the quality of use of the lifting car emblem using this car emblem component.

[0071] In practical applications, it is worth noting that the aforementioned trigger threshold is also the force threshold preset in the controller (such as the vehicle controller) in the vehicle. When the external force on the car logo 3 detected by the detection unit is not lower than the force threshold, the vehicle controller can control the car logo lifting drive structure to move and drive the car logo component to descend.

[0072] The aforementioned force threshold can be set and adjusted via the central control screen in the vehicle, and the aforementioned application scenarios can include parking, highways, heavy rain, hail, etc. By using different trigger thresholds in different application scenarios, it is possible to avoid the accidental descent of the car logo 3, and also to prevent the car logo 3 from being damaged under harsh working conditions, thereby helping to improve the quality of use of the retractable car logo.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] This embodiment relates to a retractable car emblem, which includes the car emblem component described in Embodiment 1.

[0075] In this embodiment of the lifting car emblem, in addition to the above-mentioned car emblem component, the car emblem lifting drive structure that drives the car emblem component to lift and lower can adopt the relevant structure in existing lifting car emblem products, as long as it can achieve the lifting and lowering of the car emblem component and meet the arrangement requirements in the vehicle.

[0076] At the same time, similar to existing car models that use retractable logos, in addition to setting the aforementioned logo components, it is also preferable that the overall retractable logo product also includes a cover component.

[0077] This cover assembly is also driven by the logo lifting drive structure, or it can be driven by a separate drive structure, so that after the logo assembly is lowered, it can seal the opening on the front hood of the vehicle, thereby ensuring the appearance quality of the vehicle after the logo assembly is lowered. The cover assembly described above can refer to similar structures used in existing vehicles, and will not be described in detail here.

[0078] The retractable car emblem in this embodiment, by adopting the car emblem component in Embodiment 1, can meet the protection requirements of the car emblem 3 in different application scenarios, and also helps to simplify the product structure, reduce the risk of product failure, and improve the quality of use of the retractable car emblem.

[0079] Example 3

[0080] This embodiment relates to a vehicle that is equipped with the retractable vehicle emblem as described in Embodiment 2.

[0081] By setting the above-mentioned retractable vehicle emblem, the vehicle in this embodiment can meet the protection requirements of the vehicle emblem 3 in different application scenarios, which also helps to simplify the product structure, reduce the risk of product failure, and improve the quality of use of the retractable vehicle emblem.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
