Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to automotive parts, and in particular to a floating car logo. Background Technology

[0002] Floating wheel covers maintain the orientation of the car logo when the wheel rim rotates, making the car brand easier to identify. A typical floating wheel cover includes a base, a faceplate, a bearing, and a logo cover. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218805621U describes a floating logo cover, including a base, a faceplate, and a decorative panel. The base has a bearing seat in the middle, housing a bearing. A rotating column is integrally injection-molded with the decorative panel in the middle of its back side. The lower end of the rotating column forms a first locking foot, and the outer wall of the rotating column has a limiting post. The bearing is secured between the first locking foot and the limiting post. A counterweight is located on one side of the back of the decorative panel. The edge of the faceplate has a threaded cap formed by two-color injection molding, with external threads on its outer wall. The base includes a base plate and a side panel located at the edge of the base plate. The inner wall of the side panel has internal threads, and the threaded cap engages with the side panel threadedly. A sealing ring is provided between the threaded cap and the side panel. However, this type of wheel cover is large and cannot accommodate installations with small-sized center holes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a floating car logo with a compact structure and small size.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a floating car emblem, including a base, an emblem cover rotatably connected to the base, and a bearing. The base includes a bottom plate and a side plate surrounding the edge of the bottom plate. The side plate and the bottom plate form a groove. The upper end of the side plate extends outward to form a connecting plate. The bottom plate has several annularly distributed first locking feet in the groove. The lower parts of adjacent first locking feet are connected to each other. The lower inner side of the first locking foot has a first protrusion, and the upper inner side of the first locking foot has a first locking platform. The edge of the emblem cover extends to the connecting plate, and there is a gap between the emblem cover and the connecting plate. The bottom center of the cover has several annularly distributed second locking feet, with the upper parts of adjacent second locking feet connected to each other. A second locking platform is located on the outer side of the lower end of each second locking foot, and a second protrusion is located on the outer side of the upper end of each second locking foot. The bearing is positioned between the first and second locking feet. The lower end of the bearing's outer ring abuts against the first protrusion, and the upper end of the bearing's outer ring abuts against the first locking platform. The lower end of the bearing's inner ring abuts against the second locking platform, and the upper end of the bearing's inner ring abuts against the second protrusion. An annular groove is formed between the first locking foot and the side panel. A counterweight is located on one side of the second locking foot at the bottom of the cover. The counterweight is arc-shaped and extends into the annular groove. The principle of this utility model is as follows: A connecting plate is designed to be integrally formed with the base, and a gap is formed between the connecting plate and the logo cover, allowing the logo cover to rotate on the base. The connecting plate can extend the length of the gap, making it difficult for external dust and debris to enter the groove. The logo cover is pivotally connected to the base through a bearing, and the bearing is installed by locking each other with the first and second locking feet, making assembly simple. The floating logo components mainly include the base and the logo cover, with fewer components. The counterweight is arc-shaped and extends into the narrow annular groove, resulting in a compact overall structure and small size.

[0005] As an improvement, the connection between the connecting plate and the side panel has an arc-shaped transition.

[0006] As an improvement, the bottom of the base is provided with a third locking foot and a spring supporting the third locking foot.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0008] The design incorporates a connecting plate integrally molded with the base, creating a gap between the connecting plate and the logo cover, allowing the logo cover to rotate on the base. The connecting plate can extend the length of the gap, making it difficult for external dust and debris to enter the groove. The logo cover is pivotally connected to the base via bearings, which are secured together by the first and second locking feet, simplifying assembly. The floating logo components mainly consist of the base and the logo cover, with fewer components. The counterweight is arc-shaped and extends into a narrow annular groove, resulting in a compact overall structure and small size. Attached Figure Description
