Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wheel hub technology, and in particular to a luminous wheel hub with a standing parking sign structure. Background Technology

[0002] Although there are some wheel hub lighting devices on the market, most of these devices can only emit light with a fixed frequency and brightness when the wheel hub is rotating. They cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the wheel hub's rotation speed. This fixed lighting pattern cannot achieve the best decorative effect and warning function under different driving conditions, thus limiting the practicality and functionality of wheel hub lighting devices.

[0003] Most existing wheel hub lighting devices use simple switch control and lack intelligent control logic. They cannot automatically adjust the light emission frequency, brightness and color according to factors such as wheel hub speed and ambient light, thus failing to achieve personalized and intelligent lighting effects and failing to meet users' higher requirements for personalized vehicle decoration and safety.

[0004] Furthermore, in the existing technology, the car logo installed on the wheel hub rotates synchronously with the wheel hub as it rotates, which makes it impossible for the car logo to be clearly displayed. This prevents passersby from knowing the car brand from the side, reducing the promotional effect and lacking the corresponding sense of luxury. Utility Model Content

[0008] A counterweight mechanism is provided between the connecting plate and the circuit board, which is used to ensure the stability of the connecting plate and the circuit board during the rotation of the hub.

[0009] The circuit board is equipped with a lighting system on the side away from the connecting plate and on the outer surface of the wheel hub.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing block has multiple buckles and a separately installed positioning block fixedly connected in a circular array at the center position near the card slot. The multiple buckles are movably connected by a tension ring. The buckles, tension ring and positioning block can be embedded into the card slot through cooperation.

[0011] Preferably, the power source includes four magnets fixedly mounted in a ring array on a ring plate, and a power generation component fixedly mounted on a circuit board, wherein the four magnets cooperate with the power generation component to generate current.

[0012] Preferably, the lighting system includes a vehicle logo light-emitting component mounted on the surface of the circuit board away from the connecting plate, and a wheel hub light-emitting component detachably mounted on the outer surface of the wheel hub, both of which are electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0013] Preferably, the lighting system further includes a control module fixedly mounted on a circuit board, and the car logo light-emitting component and the wheel hub light-emitting component both have color-changing and breathing effects, which are controlled by the control module.

[0014] Preferably, the counterweight mechanism includes a counterweight plate fixedly mounted on a circuit board, and an arc-shaped counterweight block is detachably mounted on the lower end of the counterweight plate.

[0018] 2. In this application, the design of the counterweight plate and counterweight block enables the connecting plate to be counteracted by the counterweight block when it is subjected to the rotational force generated by the fixed block. This allows the connecting plate and the circuit board to remain relatively stable, thereby ensuring that the car logo plate always maintains a vertical position during the rotation of the wheel hub, thus enhancing the premium feel of the vehicle.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 6 A luminous wheel hub with a standing parking sign structure includes a wheel hub 1. A slot is provided at the center of the outer side of the wheel hub 1. A fixing block 3 is provided on one side of the slot. Multiple buckles 5 and a positioning block 7 are fixedly connected in a ring array near the center of the side of the fixing block 3. The multiple buckles 5 are movably connected to each other by a tension ring 6. Through the cooperation of the buckles 5, tension ring 6 and positioning block 7, the three can be embedded in the slot, so that the fixing block 3 is fixedly installed on the wheel hub 1. When the wheel hub 1 rotates, the fixing block 3 can rotate synchronously.

[0028] A ring plate 8 is detachably mounted on the side of the fixing block 3 near the hub 1. Four magnets 9 are arranged in a ring array between the ring plate 8 and the fixing block 3. The fixing block 3 has an inwardly recessed mounting groove at the center of the side away from the hub 1. A connecting plate 10 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting groove via a bearing. A circuit board 11 is detachably mounted on the side of the connecting plate 10 away from the hub 1. A power generation component 12 is fixedly mounted on the circuit board 11 between the connecting plate 10 and the circuit board 11. A control module 15 is fixedly mounted on the circuit board 11 on one side of the power generation component 12. The power generation component 12 and the control module 15 are connected. All components 15 are existing technologies, and their specific structural designs will not be described in detail here. Both the power generation component 12 and the control module 15 are electrically connected to the circuit board 11. The side of the circuit board 11 away from the connecting plate 10 is equipped with a car logo light-emitting component 13. The four magnets 9 on the annular plate 8 cooperate with the power generation component 12 to generate current, so that the car logo light-emitting component 13 lights up after the current is connected. The outer surface of the wheel hub 1 is detachably equipped with a wheel hub light-emitting component 2. The wheel hub light-emitting component 2 is distributed in a ring array and is electrically connected to the circuit board 11. Both the car logo light-emitting component 13 and the wheel hub light-emitting component 2 have color-changing and breathing effects, which are controlled by the control module 15.

[0029] A counterweight plate 16 is fixedly mounted on the circuit board 11 between the connecting plate 10 and the circuit board 11. A counterweight block 17 with an arc shape is detachably mounted on the lower end of the counterweight plate 16. The design of the counterweight plate 16 and the counterweight block 17 enables the connecting plate 10 to cancel out the rotational force generated by the fixed block 3 when it is subjected to the rotational force, so that the connecting plate 10 and the circuit board 11 can remain relatively stable when the fixed block 3 rotates.

[0030] A car logo plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the side of the circuit board 11 away from the connecting plate 10 by bolts. A protective cover 4 is detachably installed on the outer side of the car logo plate 14. The protective cover 4 is made of transparent material, so that the light of the car logo light-emitting component 13 can pass through the protective cover 4, improving the aesthetics of the wheel hub 1 when it rotates.

[0031] A control method for a light-emitting wheel hub with a standing parking sign structure includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S1: The wheel hub speed is monitored in real time by a speed sensor and transmitted to the vehicle control system.

[0033] Step S2: When the wheel hub starts to rotate and the wheel hub speed is ≥10 revolutions per minute, the vehicle control system automatically adjusts the light emission frequency and brightness of the wheel hub light-emitting component and the vehicle logo light-emitting component according to the wheel hub speed.

[0034] Step S3: When the current rotational speed of the wheel hub is less than the rotational speed of the previous moment, and the wheel hub rotational speed is less than 10 revolutions per minute, the vehicle control system automatically switches to the parking warning mode.

[0035] Step S4: Once the wheel hub has come to a complete stop, the vehicle control system automatically switches to parking lighting mode.

[0036] Furthermore, step S1 also includes the following sub-steps:

[0037] S1-1, the wheel hub speed signal is collected in real time by a speed sensor installed on the wheel hub;

[0038] S1-2, The wheel hub speed signal is filtered, amplified and shaped by a signal processor to obtain a pre-processed speed signal, and the pre-processed speed signal is transmitted to the vehicle control system through wireless transmission technology;

[0039] S1-3, the vehicle control system receives the preprocessed speed signal, calculates the wheel hub speed according to the pulse counting method, and stores it in the memory of the vehicle control system.

[0040] Furthermore, step S2 also includes the following sub-steps:

[0041] S2-1, Set the mapping logic between the wheel hub rotation speed and the light emission frequency and brightness of the light-emitting components. The light-emitting components include a wheel hub light-emitting component and a car logo light-emitting component. The mapping logic is as follows:

[0042] When the wheel hub starts to rotate, and the wheel hub speed is ≥10 revolutions per minute and <50 revolutions per minute, the light emission frequency of the light-emitting component is set to flash 1~2 times per second, and the light emission brightness is 10~30 lumens;

[0043] When the wheel hub speed is ≥50 rpm and <150 rpm, the light emission frequency of the light-emitting component is set to flash 3 to 5 times per second, and the light emission brightness is 50 to 100 lumens;

[0044] When the wheel hub speed is ≥150 rpm, the light emission frequency of the light-emitting component is set to flash 5~10 times per second, and the light emission brightness is 100~200 lumens;

[0045] S2-2, The vehicle control system, based on the mapping logic, uses the control module to automatically adjust the luminous frequency and luminous brightness of the wheel hub luminous components and the vehicle logo luminous components through pulse width modulation (PWM) technology.

[0046] Furthermore, step S3 also includes the following sub-steps:

[0047] S3-1, when the current rotation speed of the wheel hub is less than the rotation speed of the previous moment, and the wheel hub rotation speed is less than 10 revolutions per minute, the vehicle control system determines that the wheel hub is about to stop. At this time, the vehicle control system detects the ambient light brightness through the light sensor and sends a switching command to the light-emitting component, instructing the light-emitting component to enter the parking warning mode.

[0048] S3-2, After receiving the switching command, the light-emitting component automatically adjusts the light emission frequency, light emission brightness and light emission color according to the ambient light brightness using the control module through pulse width modulation (PWM) technology;

[0049] In S3-3, under parking warning mode, the vehicle control system monitors the working status of the speed sensor and the lighting components in real time. When the speed sensor signal is lost or the lighting components malfunction, the system will notify the driver of the malfunction through the instrument panel display, sound prompts, or mobile application.

[0050] Furthermore, step S4 also includes the following sub-steps:

[0051] S4-1, When the wheel hub speed drops to 0, the vehicle control system determines that the wheel hub is in a completely stopped state. At this time, the vehicle control system detects the ambient light brightness through the light sensor and sends a switching command to the light-emitting component, instructing the light-emitting component to enter the parking lighting mode.

[0052] S4-2 After receiving the switching command, the light-emitting component automatically adjusts the light emission frequency, light emission brightness and light emission color according to the ambient light brightness using the control module through pulse width modulation (PWM) technology;

[0053] S4-3, the parking lighting mode will automatically turn off 1 minute after the light-emitting component enters the parking lighting mode;

[0054] S4-4, If the vehicle restarts during the parking lighting mode, the parking lighting mode is interrupted and the process returns to step S2.

[0055] When the wheel hub 1 of this utility model rotates, it drives the fixing block 3 to move synchronously through the buckle 5 and the tension ring 6. The rotation of the fixing block 3 drives the annular plate 8 to move synchronously. At this time, the four magnets 9 on the annular plate 8 will rotate coaxially, thereby causing the magnets 9 to generate an electromagnetic cutting effect on the power generation component 12. At this time, the stator inside the power generation component 12 will generate current under the action of the magnets 9. After the current is generated, it will pass through the circuit board 11 and reach the control module 15. At this time, the control module 15 will control the car logo light-emitting component 13 and the wheel hub light-emitting component 2 to turn on. When the car logo light-emitting component 13 is turned on, the car logo on the car logo plate 14 will light up. At the same time, when the wheel hub light-emitting component 2 is turned on, it will light up itself. Thus, when the vehicle is driving at night, the wheel hub and the car logo can generate light sources, increasing the aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0056] Since the fixed block 3 and the connecting plate 10 are connected by bearings, when the fixed block 3 is driven to rotate by the wheel hub 1, the connecting plate 10 will not rotate synchronously under the action of the bearings. Furthermore, since the circuit board 11 is fixedly connected to the counterweight plate 16, when the connecting plate 10 is subjected to the rotational force generated by the fixed block 3, the counterweight 17 on the counterweight plate 16 will offset the force. Therefore, when the fixed block 3 rotates, the connecting plate 10 and the circuit board 11 can remain relatively stable. Moreover, since the logo plate 14 is connected to the circuit board 11 by bolts, the logo plate 14 can also remain relatively stable, thus enabling the logo plate 14 to remain upright when the wheel hub 1 rotates.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
