Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0025] This application discloses a standard switching device.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The logo switching device includes a support frame 100, on which a rotating disk 200 is rotatably connected; a curved slide groove 300 is provided on the support frame 100, and a drive mechanism 400 is provided on the support frame 100 for driving the rotating disk 200 to rotate while sliding along the curved slide groove 300. The rotating disk 200 is bolted to two mounting brackets according to actual use requirements. The logo 500 and the cover 600 are respectively mounted on the mounting brackets, and there is an included angle between the logo 500 and the cover 600 that matches the curved slide groove 300.

[0028] Therefore, by activating the drive mechanism 400 and designing the motion trajectory of the curved slide 300, the drive mechanism 400 drives the rotating disk 200 to rotate while the rotating disk 200 slides along the curved slide 300, thus smoothly achieving the switching of the positions of the emblem and the cover 600. The overall motion trajectory of the rotating disk 200 occupies little space, making it easy to arrange and use the engine hood in situations where space is limited.

[0029] In this embodiment, the interior of the engine hood is a narrow, inclined space. Therefore, the shape of the curved groove 300 is determined by the movement trajectory of the car emblem 500 and the trim cover 600, as well as the limited space inside the engine hood. (Refer to the attached diagram.) Figure 3 As shown, the trajectory of the curved groove 300 is obtained by lofting an irregular curve, and its design process is similar to that of a cam. In this embodiment, the curved groove 300 can be configured as consisting of an inclined straight line segment and an irregular arc segment connected to one end of the inclined straight line segment; the curved groove 300 can also be configured as consisting of an inclined arc segment and an irregular arc segment connected to one end of the inclined arc segment. Compared with the standard U-shaped curved groove 300 in related technologies, the curved groove 300 trajectory obtained by lofting an irregular curve in this application enables the rotating disk 200 to slide along the curved groove 300 while rotating during the switching process between the position of the sign and the cover 600. The overall movement trajectory of the rotating disk 200 occupies less space, especially saving space in the vertical direction of the vehicle. Furthermore, the included angle between the center of the car logo 500 and the center of the rotating disk 200 and the center of the cover 600 and the rotating disk 200 is in the range of 90° to 100°. In the embodiment of this application, the included angle is preferably adjusted to 93° according to the shape of the internal space of the engine hood and the curved groove 300.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A force sensor 800 is installed on the rotating disk 200, specifically on the mounting bracket for the car emblem 500. When the external force on the car emblem 500 is less than the set retraction force value, the drive mechanism 400 maintains its current working state; when the external force on the car emblem 500 is not less than the set retraction force value, the force sensor 800 transmits a signal to the drive mechanism 400, which then activates to retract the car emblem 500, while the cover 600 rises to the opening on the hood, thus achieving the concealment of the car emblem 500 after being subjected to external force.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The support frame 100 has a guide groove 120 on its surface facing the rotating disk 200. In this embodiment, the guide groove 120 is inclined according to the shape of the curved slide 300 and the movement of the rotating disk 200, thus facilitating the use of the engine hood, which is inclined and has a small space. A slider 130 matching the size of the guide groove 120 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 120. The rotating disk 200 is rotatably connected to the slider 130. In this embodiment, the shape of the slider 130 is set according to the inclination angle of the guide groove 120 and the limiting limit of the internal space of the engine hood. Two cover plates 110 are bolted to the support frame 100. The guide groove 120 is located between the two cover plates 110, and the slider 130 is located between the cover plates 110 and the bottom of the guide groove 120. The cover plates 110 limit the position of the slider 130, reducing the possibility of the slider 130 falling out of the guide groove 120, and also providing protection to reduce impurities from falling into the guide groove 120. Therefore, the guide groove 120 guides and limits the movement of the slider 130 and the rotating disk 200, reducing the possibility of positional deviation during the movement of the rotating disk 200 and improving the stability of the rotating disk 200 during the movement.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drive mechanism 400 includes a drive unit 410 mounted on a support frame 100. In this embodiment, the drive unit 410 is a turbine housing. A slide rod 310, matching the size of the curved slide groove 300, is slidably connected within the curved slide groove 300. A rotating disk 200 is rotatably connected to the outer edge of the slide rod 310. The output end of the turbine housing is connected to the rotating disk 200 via a transmission unit 420. A control unit 430 for controlling the start and stop of the turbine housing is mounted on the support frame 100. In this embodiment, the control unit 430 is a drive motor, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to the input end of the turbine housing. The transmission unit 420 includes a drive rod 421 mounted on the output end of the turbine housing. A connecting rod 422 is hinged to the end of the drive rod 421 away from the turbine housing. A connecting shaft 423 connected to the slide rod 310 is mounted on the end of the connecting rod 422 away from the drive rod 421. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 422 can specifically be a ball joint connecting rod.

[0033] Therefore, starting the drive motor drives the turbine housing, which in turn moves the drive rod 421 at the output end of the turbine housing. Through the movement principle of the connecting rod 422, the drive rod 421 drives the connecting rod 422. The end of the connecting rod 422 furthest from the drive rod 421 is connected to the slide rod 310 via a connecting shaft 423. Simultaneously, the connecting rod 422 moves the slide rod 310, causing the rotating disk 200 to move, thus switching the car emblem 500 or the trim cover 600 on the rotating disk 200 to the opening in the engine hood. This application achieves simultaneous displacement and rotation of the rotating disk 200 through the drive mechanism 400, optimizing the related technology where the rotating disk 200 can only move in a linear downward-rotating-linear upward motion.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system also includes a cable 700 connected to the car logo 500. A first fixing unit 710 for fixing the cable 700 is provided at the center of the rotating disk 200, and a second fixing unit 720 for fixing the cable 700 is provided on the turbine box. The cable 700 is cleverly fixed at the turning point of the movement by the first fixing unit 710 and the second fixing unit 720, thus completing the decomposition movement of the wire harness during the movement of the car logo 500. The first fixing unit 710 includes a connecting plate 711 provided at the center of the rotating disk 200. An arc-shaped fixing plate 712 matching the size of the cable 700 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 711. The cable 700 passes through the arc-shaped fixing plate 712. In this embodiment, the second fixing unit 720 can be set with reference to the structure of the first fixing unit 710. The arc-shaped fixing plate 712 limits the position of the cable 700, reducing the possibility of the cable 700 shifting position during the rotation of the rotating disk 200.

[0035] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: the start of the drive motor drives the turbine box to start, thereby driving the drive rod 421 at the output end of the turbine box to move. The drive rod 421 drives the connecting rod 422 to move through the movement principle of the connecting rod 422. The end of the connecting rod 422 away from the drive rod 421 is connected to the slide rod 310 through the connecting shaft 423. The connecting rod 422 drives the slide rod 310 to move while driving the rotating disk 200 to move. According to the curved trajectory of the curved slide groove 300, the car logo 500 or the cover 600 on the rotating disk 200 is switched to the hole in the engine hood. The overall movement trajectory of the rotating disk 200 occupies little space, which is convenient for the arrangement and use of the engine hood in the case of limited space.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the outer edge of the slide rod 310 is fitted with a rolling bearing that matches the size of the curved slide groove 300. The outer edge of the rolling bearing contacts the groove wall of the curved slide groove 300. Through the rolling bearing, the sliding friction between the outer edge of the slide rod 310 and the curved slide groove 300 is optimized into rolling friction, making the slide rod 310 move more smoothly along the curved slide groove 300, reducing energy consumption and wear, and further improving the smoothness of the rotating disk 200 during movement.
