The emblem cover 10 is formed in an elliptical shape and is inserted into the tailgate 1. The emblem 5 is arranged on the emblem cover 10. The emblem cover 10 is rotatably coupled to the emblem housing 30. The first coupling part 32 is protruded from the emblem housing 30, and the tail cover 1 is formed on the emblem cover 10 so that the emblem cover 10 can be rotatably coupled to the emblem housing 30. The second coupling part 12 is formed to protrude from the rear surface to be inserted.

As the hinge pin 60 rotatably couples the first coupling portion 32 and the second coupling portion 12, the emblem cover 10 may be rotatably coupled to the emblem housing 30.

The third coupling part 22 is also rotatably coupled, such that the emblem cover 10 and the camera cover 20 are rotatably coaxial to the emblem housing 30.

As such, since the center of rotation of the emblem cover 10 and the center of rotation of the camera cover 20 are coupled to the emblem housing 30, the emblem cover 10 and the camera cover 20 are separately separated from the emblem housing 30. Compared to the case rotatably coupled to), the size of the emblem housing 30 can be reduced, so that the overall size of the package can be reduced. In addition, when the rear camera 40 protrudes through the guide hole 35, the camera cover 20 and the emblem cover 10 are rotated coaxially while being pushed by the rear camera 40, the emblem cover 10 And less force for rotating the camera cover 20. Therefore, since the operating force of the actuator 50 for moving the rear camera 40 is also required so that the rear camera 40 can protrude through the guide hole 35, it can be replaced with an actuator that generates less operating force. As a result, the overall package size can be reduced.

On the other hand, the rear camera 40 should be able to show the screen on the display unit (not shown) disposed in the cabin by photographing the rear from the vehicle. Therefore, the rear camera 40 pushes the camera cover 20 while protruding through the guide hole 35 by the actuation force of the actuator 50 so as to be exposed to the outside of the tailgate 1, and thus, the camera As the cover 20 is pushed and rotated by the rear camera 40 to push and rotate the emblem cover 10, the rear camera 40 is disposed between the rotated emblem cover 10 and the tailgate 1 to the outside. May be exposed.

The actuator 50 is connected to the rear camera 40 to move the rear camera 40 forward / backward. The rear camera 40 is advanced backward by the operating force of the actuator 50, protrudes through the guide hole 35, is exposed to the outside of the tailgate 1, and is applied to the operating force in the opposite direction of the actuator 50.
