[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0029] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0030] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.
[0032] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0033] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0034] This invention integrates the tailgate / hood opening mechanism with the car emblem device to reduce assembly steps and lower costs. When the car is driving at night or in low-light conditions, the emblem is illuminated, making it easier for people to identify; moreover, this emblem also integrates the tailgate / hood opening function.
[0035] like Figures 1-4 An integrated car emblem includes a base 6, a cover 3, a car emblem 1, an integrated circuit board 5, an inner lens 4, and an operating component 3-1. The cover 3 is fixedly connected to the base 6, and an installation cavity is formed between the two. The car emblem 1 is fixed to the cover 3. In one embodiment, the cover 3 has a through hole adapted to the car emblem 1, and the car emblem 1 is embedded in the through hole of the cover 3. The car emblem 1 can be made in a light-transmitting form. The car emblem 1 can be light-transmitting / red or white. Of course, according to actual needs, other parts can also be made in a light-transmitting form.
[0036] The integrated circuit board 55 is installed in the mounting cavity, specifically, the integrated circuit board 5 is fixedly connected to the base 6. The integrated circuit board 5 is provided with terminal 5-3, which is connected to the body control module.
[0037] The integrated circuit board 5 is equipped with a light-emitting element and a switch signal element. The switch signal element is used to send a switch signal. The inner lens 4 is installed in the mounting cavity. Specifically, the inner lens 4 is fixed to the inner side of the cover. The operating element 3-1 is embedded in the upper surface of the cover 3 and is used to trigger the switch signal element.
[0038] The light-emitting element includes several light-emitting units 5-1 disposed on the integrated circuit board 5. The light emitted by the light-emitting units 5-1 on the integrated circuit board 5 is scattered by the inner lens 4 and then emitted through the light-transmitting car logo 1, which can ensure that the light emitted by the car logo 1 is uniform and aesthetically pleasing.
[0039] The switch signal element includes a sensing element 5-2. In one embodiment of this invention, the switch signal element includes a touch sensing electrode, which forms a capacitive coupling with the finger of the touch operating component 3-1, causing a change in the capacitance value of the touch sensing electrode. A trigger element 3-2 is provided between the operating component 3-1 and the switch signal element. The operating component 3-1 is connected to an elastic element that resets it upon pressing; the elastic element can be, but is not limited to, a spring, rubber, or similar structures. Pressing the operating component 3-1 causes the trigger element 3-2 to move, and then the trigger element 3-2 contacts the sensing element 5-2, transmitting a signal to the vehicle control module. The pressing force is transmitted to the sensing element 5-2 through the pressing operating component, causing the sensing element 5-2 to deform. The integrated circuit board 5 is provided with a detection element for detecting the deformation of the sensing element 5-2 after being pressed by the trigger element 3-2. This element can detect the deformation of the sensing element 5-2. Simultaneously, the sensing element 5-2 acts as a touch sensing electrode, forming a finger capacitance with the finger pressing the operating component 3-1. The devices on the circuit board 5 can detect whether a finger is touching the element. As one implementation, the sensing element 5-2 consists of a metal spring and touch-sensing electrodes on a PCB. The metal spring is fixed to the PCB and forms a spring capacitor with the touch-sensing electrodes. Pressing causes deformation of the metal spring, resulting in a change in the spring capacitor's capacitance. Simultaneously, a finger capacitor is formed between the finger and the metal spring. Devices on the PCB detect changes in the spring capacitor and finger capacitor to determine whether a press or touch has occurred. In other words, an unlock signal is sent only when both a finger touch and a finger press are detected simultaneously. This design avoids false triggering of traditional capacitive sensors due to rainwater and also avoids the noise emitted by mechanical buttons when pressed.
[0040] The cover 3 is surrounded by sealing foam 2. The sealing foam 2 is fitted onto the cover 3, and the sealing foam 3 ensures that rainwater cannot enter the vehicle body.
[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
