Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cockpit technology, specifically, it relates to a cockpit control console. Background Technology
[0002] Current cockpit console technology has shifted from traditional mechanical instruments to a fully electronic architecture, with the core evolution direction being multimodal interaction and system integration. Key technologies include: curved LCD screens and AR-HUD augmented display technology, supporting real-time fusion of road information; at the interaction level, integrating voice control (NLP multi-language support), gesture recognition (ToF / millimeter-wave radar), and haptic feedback technology to reduce driver distraction; the system architecture relies on the cockpit domain controller (CDC) to integrate subsystems such as instruments and central control, using automotive-grade chips such as Qualcomm SA8295P for computing power, and cooperating with the QNX / Linux underlying system and Hypervisor. Virtual machines achieve functional isolation; deep application of artificial intelligence is reflected in DMS driver monitoring, biometric perception, and multi-account personalized scenarios (automatic synchronization of seat / air conditioning / entertainment settings), and promotes multimodal fusion interaction of voice + gesture + AR; the aircraft cockpit emphasizes redundant design (triple backup instruments, independent power supply), strict interaction logic in compliance with DO-178C standards, and safety mechanisms such as voiceprint authentication. The patent layout is highly concentrated in four major areas: multi-sensor fusion algorithms, AR visualization, domain controller security architecture, and biometric applications, marking the cockpit's comprehensive evolution into a safe perception space driven by intelligent interaction and centralized computing power.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 A cockpit control console includes a control component for controlling a display. The control component includes a base 1, a control module 2, a HUD module 3, and a display panel 31. The control module 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1, the HUD module 3 is disposed on the base 1, the HUD module 3 is electrically connected to the control module 2, and the display panel 31 is snapped into the HUD module 3.
[0026] Driving is controlled through the settings of the control module 2, and during use, the data of driving control is displayed intuitively through the HUD module 3. The HUD module 3 displays the data on the display panel 31. The control module 2 and the HUD module 3 are modularly set up and are on the same control plane, which makes it convenient for users to operate while intuitively observing the actual control data. The control perspective and the data display perspective are combined for easy observation and recognition.
[0027] The HUD module 3 is equipped with a control module 32, and the control module 32 is fixedly connected to the HUD module 3. One end of the display panel 31 is snapped into the HUD module 3, and the other end of the display panel 31 is connected to the HUD module 3 through a damping shaft.
[0028] The HUD module 3 displays the data intuitively on the display panel 31, and the control module 32 can adjust the displayed data to avoid displaying too much data at the same time, which would require the user to search and analyze the data before proceeding to the next step. After the display panel 31 is snapped into and separated from the HUD module 3, the display panel 31 can be rotated through the damping shaft to adjust the display angle of the display panel 31, making it easy for the user to adjust and observe according to their needs.
[0029] Although the rotation angle of the display panel 31 is not limited, the rotation of the display panel 31 must be within the projection display range of the HUD module 3 to avoid the display panel 31 from over-rotating, which would prevent data from being projected onto the display panel 31.
[0030] It is worth noting that the HUD module 3 includes a flat panel display configured for forming image information and a virtual image optical system including a projection component. The projection component is used to display virtual images at multiple positions in front of the vehicle by reflecting the image of the flat panel display. The virtual images are formed at multiple positions corresponding to the driver's viewpoint. In the virtual image optical system, the image beams used to form each virtual image are configured separately and independently between the flat panel display and the concave mirror, and different optical elements are configured corresponding to each beam. The main body of the HUD module 3 has been disclosed in the prior art head-up display device CN111752046B, and will not be described in detail here.
[0031] The HUD module 3 has symmetrically arranged slots 33, and a second connection end 34 is provided at the bottom of the HUD module 3. The second connection end 34 is electrically connected to the HUD module 3. The base 1 has symmetrically arranged brackets 11, each bracket 11 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and each bracket 11 is engaged with the slot 33. The end of the control module 2 is provided with a first connection end 24, which is electrically connected to the control module 2 and is electrically connected to the second connection end 34.
[0032] The HUD module 3 is attached to the bracket 11 via symmetrical snap-fit slots 33, enabling assembly of the HUD module 3. Disassembly of the HUD module 3 is achieved by separating it from the bracket 11 via the snap-fit slots 33, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the control signals are transmitted via an electrical connection between the first connection end 24 and the second connection end 34. This allows for the analysis of control information transmitted and the information within the HUD module 3, facilitating the user's ability to distinguish between the control signals and actual operation, and enabling subsequent control adjustments.
[0033] The control module 2 is equipped with a button module 21, a remote control module 22 and a knob adjustment module 23. The bottom of the button module 21 is fixedly connected to the control module 2. The button module 21 is set on the control module 2 and fixedly installed between the button module 2 and the control module 2. The bottom of the knob adjustment module 23 is fixedly connected to the control module 2.
[0034] The user controls the driving by pressing the button module 21 to adjust the control data, swinging the remote control module 22 to transmit control commands, and rotating the knob adjustment module 23 to finely adjust the control precision.
[0035] It is worth noting that the button module 21 includes a connection point protruding from the button body; and a resistor located inside the button body and connected to the connection point. The button module includes: a module body with a receiving groove that matches the button body; a conductive contact in each receiving groove; and a signal lead connected to the conductive contact. When a button is inserted into the receiving groove and pressed, the button's connection point contacts the conductive contact, causing the signal lead to be electrically connected to the button's resistor. The button device includes: at least one of the above-mentioned button modules and the above-mentioned button located in the receiving groove of the button module; and a processing circuit connected to the signal lead of each button module for detecting the signal lead. If the resistance on the button electrically connected to the signal lead is detected, the function corresponding to that button is executed. Using the above scheme, users can assemble their desired button device according to their personalized needs. The button module 21 has been fully disclosed in a button, button module, and button device with publication number CN106409583B, and will not be described again here.
[0036] It is worth noting that the remote control module 22 includes a central processing unit (CPU), an analog signal acquisition chip, a joystick module, a button module, a serial communication chip, and a power supply module. The CPU acquires analog signals generated when the joystick module is operated through the analog signal acquisition chip, and the analog signal acquisition chip is also equipped with a voltage regulator chip. The CPU also acquires digital signals generated when the buttons are operated through the button module. The CPU sends the acquired signals through the serial communication chip and establishes remote communication with an external remote control receiver. The power supply module supplies power to the CPU through the serial communication chip. This joystick multi-button industrial remote control module with serial communication can realize continuous analog control and digital control, has complete functions, simple wiring, and is easy to use. The remote control module 22 has been fully disclosed in a joystick multi-button industrial remote control module with serial communication in announcement number CN216211506U, and will not be described again here.
[0037] It is worth noting that the knob adjustment module 23 includes a housing assembly, an adjustment knob, a drive assembly, and an encoder. The encoder is slidably connected to the adjustment knob. The housing assembly includes a switch panel with a knob telescopic opening. The adjustment knob is located in the knob telescopic opening and has a retracted state and an extended state for manual operation. When the adjustment knob is in the retracted state, its exposed surface fits with the outer surface of the switch panel. The drive assembly includes a stepper motor, a screw connected to the stepper motor, and a transmission component connected to the screw. The stepper motor drives the adjustment knob to reciprocate between the retracted and extended states through the screw and the transmission component, enabling the adjustment knob to be flush with the switch panel when not in use, thus improving ease of use. The knob adjustment module 23 (CN110176373A) has been fully disclosed in the knob adjustment switch and will not be described in detail here.
[0038] Working Principle: Driving is controlled via the settings of control module 2. During use, the HUD module 3 displays the driving control data intuitively on the display panel 31. The control module 2 and HUD module 3 are modularly set up and located on the same control plane, facilitating user operation while allowing for intuitive observation of actual control data. The combination of control perspective and data display perspective makes observation and identification easier. The HUD module 3 displays the data intuitively on the display panel 31, and the control module 32 can adjust the displayed data to avoid displaying too much data simultaneously, which would require the user to search and analyze the data before proceeding to the next step. After the display panel 31 is engaged and disengaged from the HUD module 3, the display panel 31 rotates via a damping shaft to adjust the display. The display angle of panel 31 allows users to adjust and observe according to their needs. The HUD module 3 is assembled by snapping onto the bracket 11 through symmetrical snap-fit 33. To disassemble the HUD module 3, simply separate it from the bracket 11 through snap-fit 33. This allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the device. The control signal is transmitted through the electrical connection between the first connection end 24 and the second connection end 34. This allows the control information to be combined with the information within the HUD module 3 for analysis, making it easier for users to distinguish the difference between the control signal and the actual control, and facilitating subsequent control adjustments. Pressing the button module 21 adjusts the control data, swinging the remote control module 22 transmits control commands, and rotating the knob adjustment module 23 finely adjusts the control precision, enabling users to control the driving.
