Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicle-mounted equipment design technology, specifically relating to a vehicle-mounted device and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As people's travel becomes more convenient, users' needs for vehicles go beyond simply shortening travel time. Vehicles also need to be diversified, with features such as in-vehicle audio systems, in-vehicle displays, and in-vehicle cameras being added to enhance the user experience.

[0003] In related technologies, in-vehicle equipment is installed in the passenger space of a vehicle. Since the passenger space of a vehicle is limited, the in-vehicle equipment will occupy a large amount of passenger space, thus affecting the spaciousness of the passenger space. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application discloses an in-vehicle device and a vehicle to solve the problem in related technologies that in-vehicle devices occupy a large amount of passenger space, thereby affecting the spaciousness of the vehicle's passenger space.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] A vehicle-mounted device includes a device bracket, a functional module, and a first drive unit, wherein:

[0007] The equipment bracket is provided with a hidden space and a clearance hole, and the clearance hole is connected to the hidden space;

[0008] At least a portion of the first driving device is disposed within the hidden space and is connected to the functional module, which has an exposed state and a hidden state. The first driving device drives the functional module to move so that the functional module switches between the exposed state and the hidden state.

[0009] When the functional module is in the exposed state, the first driving device drives at least a portion of the functional module to extend out of the hidden space through the clearance hole;

[0010] When the functional module is in the hidden state, the first driving device drives the functional module to retract into the hidden space through the clearance hole.

[0011] A vehicle including the on-board equipment described above.

[0012] The technical solution adopted in this application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The vehicle-mounted device disclosed in this application, through modification of vehicle-mounted devices in related technologies, enables the vehicle to include a device bracket, a functional module, and a first drive device. The device bracket has a hidden space and a clearance hole, the clearance hole connecting the hidden space and the vehicle's passenger space. At least a portion of the first drive device is located within the hidden space and connected to the functional module. The functional module has an exposed state and a hidden state. The first drive device drives the functional module to move, switching between the exposed and hidden states. When the functional module is in the exposed state, the first drive device drives at least a portion of the functional module to extend beyond the hidden space through the clearance hole and into the passenger space, allowing the functional module to be activated to meet user needs. When the functional module is in the hidden state, the first drive device drives the functional module to retract into the hidden space through the clearance hole, preventing the functional module from occupying passenger space. This structure allows the functional module to extend beyond the hidden space and be within the passenger space or retract into the hidden space according to user needs, thus preventing the functional module from constantly occupying passenger space.

[0014] At the same time, since the functional modules can be hidden in a concealed space, the safety of the vehicle is improved by avoiding the potential safety hazard of the functional modules being exposed in the passenger space in the event of a car accident. Attached Figure Description

[0027] A - Hidden Space. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and are not limited in number; for example, a first object can be one or more.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, this application discloses an in-vehicle device, which is applied in a vehicle. The disclosed in-vehicle device includes a device bracket 100, a functional module 200, and a first drive device 300.

[0031] The equipment bracket 100 is provided with a hidden space A and a clearance hole 110. The clearance hole 110 connects to the hidden space A. When the vehicle-mounted equipment is installed in a vehicle, the clearance hole 110 can connect the hidden space A and the passenger space.

[0032] The first driving device 300 is a device for driving the functional module 200 to move. The first driving device 300 can be a hydraulic drive, a pneumatic drive, an electromagnetic drive, etc., and this application does not limit the type of the first driving device 300. In the embodiments of this application, at least a portion of the first driving device 300 is disposed within the hidden space A and connected to the functional module 200 to drive the functional module 200 to move. Specifically, the first driving device 300 can be connected to the equipment bracket 100, thereby allowing it to be at least partially disposed within the hidden space A.

[0033] The functional module 200 is the part of the in-vehicle equipment that performs its functions. The functional module 200 may include functional devices such as in-vehicle cameras, in-vehicle audio systems, and in-vehicle displays. The functional module 200 has an exposed state and a hidden state. The first driving device 300 drives the functional module 200 to move, so that the functional module 200 switches between the exposed state and the hidden state.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, when the functional module 200 is in an exposed state, the first drive device 300 drives at least a portion of the functional module 200 to extend out of the hidden space through the clearance hole 110, and then into the seating space. When the user needs to use the functional module 200, the functional module 200 can be opened to meet the user's usage needs.

[0035] When the functional module 200 is in a hidden state (which may be when the user does not need to use the functional module 200), the first drive device 300 drives the functional module 200 to retract into the hidden space A through the clearance hole 110. At this time, the functional module 200 can be turned off. At the same time, in the hidden state, the functional module 200 moves from the vehicle's passenger space to the hidden space, which also prevents the functional module 200 from occupying the passenger space.

[0036] The vehicle-mounted device disclosed in this application, through modification of vehicle-mounted devices in related technologies, enables the vehicle to include a device bracket 100, a functional module 200, and a first drive device 300. The device bracket 100 has a hidden space A and a clearance hole 110, with the clearance hole 110 connecting to the hidden space A. At least a portion of the first drive device 300 is disposed within the hidden space A and connected to the functional module 200. The functional module 200 has an exposed state and a hidden state. The first drive device 300 drives the functional module 200 to move, so that the functional module 200 is in the exposed state. The system switches between a concealed and a hidden state. When the functional module 200 is in the exposed state, the first drive device 300 drives at least a portion of the functional module 200 to extend out of the hidden space through the clearance hole 110 and then into the passenger space of the vehicle. The functional module 200 can then be activated to meet the user's needs. When the functional module 200 is in the hidden state, the first drive device 300 drives the functional module 200 to retract into the hidden space A through the clearance hole 110, thereby preventing the functional module 200 from occupying the passenger space. This structure allows the functional module 200 to extend out of the hidden space and be located within the passenger space or retract into the hidden space A according to the user's needs, thus preventing the functional module 200 from constantly occupying the passenger space.

[0037] At the same time, since the functional module 200 can be hidden in a concealed space, it avoids the safety hazard of the functional module 200 being exposed in the passenger space in the event of a car accident, thereby improving the safety performance of the vehicle.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first driving device 300 may include a first driving body 310 and a carrier 320. Specifically, the first driving body 310 may be disposed within the hidden space A, and the carrier 320 may be connected to the first driving body 310. The carrier 320 provides an installation base for the functional module 200, and the functional module 200 may be installed on the carrier 320. Specifically, the functional module 200 may be fixed to the carrier 320 by means of snap-fit, adhesive, riveting, threaded connection, etc. This embodiment does not limit the specific connection method between the functional module 200 and the carrier 320.

[0039] When the functional module 200 is exposed, the support member 320 can cooperate with the clearance hole 110 to seal it, thereby isolating the hidden space A from the passenger space. This can, to a certain extent, prevent foreign objects in the passenger space from entering the hidden space A through the clearance hole 110, and thus prevent foreign objects from adversely affecting the components located in the hidden space A. Obviously, in this case, the support member 320 not only plays the role of supporting the functional module 200, but also plays the role of sealing the clearance hole 110.

[0040] To better ensure that the components in the hidden space A are not easily disturbed by foreign objects, in one optional solution, when the functional module 200 is in the hidden state, the functional module 200 can cooperate with the clearance hole 110 to seal it, thereby isolating the hidden space A from the passenger space. This prevents foreign objects in the passenger space from entering the hidden space A through the clearance hole 110, thus avoiding adverse effects on the components located in the hidden space A. Of course, this type of vehicle equipment does not require a special component to seal the clearance hole 110, which simplifies the structure of the vehicle equipment.

[0041] In other embodiments of this application, the first driving device 300 may include a first driving body 310 and a carrier 320. Specifically, the first driving body 310 may include a base 311 and a first support rod 312, a second support rod 313, a first driving motor 314, a lead screw 315, a first threaded sleeve 316 and a second threaded sleeve 317 disposed on the base 311.

[0042] The first support rod 312 can cross and rotatably connect with the second support rod 313. The first support rod 312 can achieve the rotatable connection with the second support rod 313 through specific methods such as hinge or shaft hole fit. This application does not limit the specific rotatable connection method between the first support rod 312 and the second support rod 313.

[0043] The first end of the first support rod 312 and the first end of the second support rod 313 are rotatably and movably connected to the bearing member 320. Meanwhile, the second end of the first support rod 312 is connected to the first threaded sleeve 316 and can rotate relative to the first threaded sleeve 316, and the second end of the second support rod 313 is connected to the second threaded sleeve 317 and can rotate relative to the second threaded sleeve 317.

[0044] The lead screw 315 may include a first threaded section 315a and a second threaded section 315b, the threads of the first threaded section 315a and the second threaded section 315b having opposite directions of rotation. The first threaded section 315a may be threadedly engaged with a first threaded sleeve 316, and the second threaded section 315b may be threadedly engaged with a second threaded sleeve 317. A first drive motor 314 may be connected to the lead screw 315 to drive the lead screw 315 to rotate in a first rotation direction or a second rotation direction, the first rotation direction being opposite to the second rotation direction.

[0045] When the lead screw 315 rotates in the first rotation direction, the first end of the first support rod 312 and the first end of the second support rod 313, as well as the second end of the first support rod 312 and the second end of the second support rod 313, move closer together as the first threaded sleeve 316 and the second threaded sleeve 317 approach, until the functional module 200 is exposed. Specifically, the first threaded sleeve 316 moves with the rotation of the first threaded segment 315a, the second threaded sleeve 317 moves with the rotation of the second threaded segment 315b, the second end of the first support rod 312 can move with the first threaded sleeve 316, and the second end of the second support rod 313 can move with the second threaded sleeve 317. The first threaded sleeve 316 and the second threaded sleeve 317 move closer to each other, and the second ends of the first support rod 312 and the second support rod 313 also move closer to each other, so that the first ends of the first support rod 312 and the first ends of the second support rod 313 also move closer to each other through movement. At the same time, while the first ends of the first support rod 312 and the first ends of the second support rod 313 are moving, they also support the carrier 320 to approach the clearance hole 110, so that the functional module 200 moves out of the hidden space with the carrier 320 and is inside the seating space.

[0046] When the lead screw 315 rotates in the second rotation direction, the first end of the first support rod 312 and the first end of the second support rod 313, as well as the second end of the first support rod 312 and the second end of the second support rod 313, move away from each other as the first threaded sleeve 316 and the second threaded sleeve 317 move away, until the functional module 200 is in a hidden state. Specifically, the first threaded sleeve 316 can move with the rotation of the first threaded segment 315a, the second threaded sleeve 317 can move with the rotation of the second threaded segment 315b, the second end of the first support rod 312 moves with the first threaded sleeve 316, and the second end of the second support rod 313 can move with the second threaded sleeve 317. The first threaded sleeve 316 and the second threaded sleeve 317 move away from each other, and the second ends of the first support rod 312 and the second support rod 313 also move away from each other. Thus, the first ends of the first support rod 312 and the first ends of the second support rod 313 also move away from each other through movement. At the same time, while the first ends of the first support rod 312 and the first ends of the second support rod 313 move away from each other, they also support the carrier 320 away from the clearance hole 110. Thus, the functional module 200 moves with the carrier 320 into the hidden space A, so as not to occupy the seating space.

[0047] The aforementioned structure drives the lead screw 315 to rotate via the first drive motor 314, allowing the first support rod 312 and the second support rod 313 to extend or fold along the through-hole direction of the clearance hole 110. This satisfies the switching between the exposed and concealed states of the functional module 200. Simultaneously, when the functional module 200 is in the concealed state, the first support rod 312 and the second support rod 313 fold, thereby reducing the space occupied by the first drive body 310 in the concealed space A. Since the engagement between the lead screw 315 and the first threaded sleeve 316 and the second threaded sleeve 317 is a threaded engagement, stepless drive can be achieved, thereby improving drive accuracy.

[0048] Of course, the relative rotation between the first support rod 312 and the second support rod 313 can also be driven by hydraulic telescopic components, pneumatic telescopic components, or deformation memory alloys. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific types of mechanisms that drive the relative rotation of the first support rod 312 and the second support rod 313.

[0049] In a further technical solution, the distance between the intersection of the first support rod 312 and the second support rod 313 and the first end of the first support rod 312 and the first end of the second support rod 313 is a first distance, and the distance between the intersection and the second end of the first support rod 312 and the second end of the second support rod 313 is a second distance. The second distance can be greater than the first distance, so that the distance between the second end of the first support rod 312 and the second end of the second support rod 313 and the distance between them is greater than the distance between the first end of the first support rod 312 and the first end of the second support rod 313 and the distance between them. The first end of the first support rod 312 and the first end of the second support rod 313 are rotatably and movably connected to the carrier 320, so that the carrier 320 does not need a large size to fit the first end of the first support rod 312 and the first end of the second support rod 313, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the carrier 320.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first driving device 300 may further include a guide rod 330. Specifically, the first end of the guide rod 330 may be fixed to the base 311, the carrier 320 may have a guide hole, the second end of the guide rod 330 may pass through the guide hole, and the guide rod 330 may guide and cooperate with the guide hole in the direction of the lifting and lowering of the functional module 200. The above structure, through the guiding cooperation between the guide rod 330 and the guide hole, makes the direction of support of the first support rod 312 and the second support rod 313 on the carrier 320 more precise. The above-mentioned guiding cooperation also guides the movement of the functional module 200 with the carrier 320, thereby preventing the carrier 320 and the functional module 200 from colliding with the clearance hole 110 and other parts of the vehicle when they move, thus ensuring that the functional module 200 can stably switch states. Of course, the guiding fit between the guide rod 330 and the guide hole makes the lifting and lowering of the bearing member 320 and the rotation of the first support rod 312 and the second support rod 313 more stable, which is conducive to improving the stability of the operation of the first drive device 300.

[0051] In this embodiment, there can be two first support rods 312 and two second support rods 313. Specifically, the two first support rods 312 and the two second support rods 313 can form two support mechanisms. The two support mechanisms can be spaced apart and supported between the base 311 and the carrier 320. The first driving device 300 can also include parallel first rails 341 and second rails 342, parallel first synchronous connectors 351 and second synchronous connectors 352, and parallel third rails 361 and fourth rails 362. The second end of the first support rod 312 of the two support mechanisms can be rotatably connected to the first synchronous connector 351. The first threaded sleeve 316 can be connected to the second end of the first support rod 312 of the two support mechanisms through the first synchronous connector 351. The second end of the second support rod 313 of the two support mechanisms can be rotatably connected to the second synchronous connector 352. The second threaded sleeve 317 can be connected to the second end of the second support rod 313 of the two support mechanisms through the second synchronous connector 352. This method of indirect connection through the first synchronous connector 351 and the second synchronous connector 352 respectively simplifies the connection structure.

[0052] Meanwhile, the first track 341 and the second track 342 can both be mounted on the base 311. The two ends of the first synchronous connector 351 can be slidably mounted on the first track 341 and the second track 342 respectively. The two ends of the second synchronous connector 352 can be slidably mounted on the first track 341 and the second track 342 respectively. The third track 361 and the fourth track 362 can both be mounted on the bearing member 320 and are parallel to the first track 341 and the second track 342 respectively, so that the guiding directions of the first track 341, the second track 342, the third track 361 and the fourth track 362 are all consistent. The first end of the first support rod 312 and the first end of the second support rod 313 of one support mechanism are slidably and rotatably connected to the third track 361. The first end of the first support rod 312 and the first end of the second support rod 313 of the other support mechanism are slidably and rotatably connected to the fourth track 362.

[0053] In the above structure, the first track 341, the second track 342, the third track 361 and the fourth track 362 can facilitate the more stable movement of the two support mechanisms. At the same time, the first end of the first support rod 312 and the first end of the second support rod 313 in the two support mechanisms can provide multi-point support for the bearing member 320, thereby making the movement of the bearing member 320 more stable.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first driving device 300 may further include a lifting height detection device 370. Specifically, the lifting height detection device 370 can be used to detect the actual height of the support member 320 relative to the base 311, and control the first driving motor 314 to turn off when the actual height is equal to a preset height. The preset height may be the height of the functional module 200 relative to the base 311 when it is in the exposed state. The above structure can prevent the functional module 200 from excessively extending out of the hidden space and entering the seating space through the lifting height detection device 370. That is to say, it can prevent the functional module 200 from excessively extending into the seating space and colliding with other components of the seating space. Alternatively, the preset height may also be the height of the functional module 200 relative to the base 311 when it is in the hidden state. The above structure can prevent the functional module 200 from excessively retracting into the hidden space A, thereby preventing the functional module 200 from colliding with other components of the hidden space A.

[0055] In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted device may further include a second drive device 400. Specifically, the second drive device 400 may be mounted on the device bracket 100, and the first drive device 300 may be rotatably mounted on the device bracket 100. The first drive device 300 may be rotatably connected to the internal bracket 120 described later, and the second drive device 400 may be connected to the first drive device 300. The second drive device 400 may be used to drive the first drive device 300 to rotate the functional module 200 to adjust the working orientation of the functional module 200. For example, when the functional module 200 is a camera device, the rotation of the camera device is beneficial to adjusting its shooting direction, thereby enabling directional shooting. Or, when the functional module 200 is a sound-emitting device, the rotation of the sound-emitting device is beneficial to adjusting its sound-emitting direction, thereby enabling directional sound emission.

[0056] In this embodiment, the equipment bracket 100 may be provided with two spaced-apart first limiting blocks 140, wherein the first limiting blocks 140 may be spaced-apart on the inner bracket 120, and the first driving device 300 may be provided with a second limiting block 380. Specifically, the second driving device 400 is used to drive the first driving device 300 to rotate in a third rotation direction or a fourth rotation direction, wherein the third rotation direction is opposite to the fourth rotation direction, and the second limiting block 380 may engage with one of the first limiting blocks 140 in the third rotation direction and may engage with the other first limiting block 140 in the fourth rotation direction.

[0057] The aforementioned structure uses a second limiting block 380 to engage with a first limiting block 140 in a third rotational direction, and the second limiting block 380 can also engage with another first limiting block 140 in a fourth rotational direction. This prevents the first drive device 300 from over-rotating, thereby preventing the functional module 200 from over-rotating. After the vehicle-mounted equipment is installed, the working direction of the functional module 200 generally needs to be adjusted within a set angle range to meet user requirements. The two first limiting blocks 140 can determine the installation position based on this angle range, thereby defining the angle range and allowing the functional module 200 to adjust its orientation (i.e., working direction) within this angle range.

[0058] For example, assuming that the functional module 200 needs to rotate within an angle range of 0 to 180° after installation to adjust its specific working orientation, then the two first limit blocks 140 can be respectively located at both ends of the same diameter of the circle in which the first drive device 300 rotates (the left and right direction of the vehicle is the lateral direction, the extension direction of this diameter is the lateral direction, and the two ends of the diameter represent 0° and 180° respectively), so that the first drive device 300 can only rotate within the range of 0 to 180°, and thus the functional module 200 can only rotate within the range of 0 to 180°. When the user needs the functional module 200 to work facing directly forward (i.e., the front of the vehicle is the longitudinal direction, and the longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the lateral direction), then the functional module 200 can rotate 90° from the 0° position under the drive of the first drive device 300, so that the functional module 200 faces directly forward of the vehicle. The first driving device 300, through the cooperation of the second limiting block 380 and the two first limiting blocks 140, can rotate within the angular range between the two first limiting blocks 140, that is, it can move between 0 and 180°, thereby enabling the functional module 200 to change its orientation between 0° and 180° to perform its function. Of course, the first driving device 300 can drive the functional module 200 to stop at any position between 0 and 180°, thereby ensuring that the position is maintained after the working orientation is adjusted.

[0059] Of course, in another embodiment, the device bracket 100 may only have a first limiting block 140, and the second driving device 400 may drive the first driving device 300 to rotate in a third rotation direction or a fourth rotation direction, wherein the third rotation direction is opposite to the fourth rotation direction. The second limiting block 380 may engage with the first side of the first limiting block 140 in the third rotation direction, and the second limiting block 380 may engage with the second side of the first limiting block 140 in the fourth rotation direction. The first side and the second side are opposite sides of the first limiting block 140. In this case, since the number of second limiting blocks 380 is small, the first driving device 300 can drive the functional module 200 to be adjusted within a larger angle range (0 to 360°) without causing the first driving device 300 to over-rotate and cause repeated rotation.

[0060] Of course, the equipment bracket 100 may not have the first limiting block 140, and correspondingly, the first driving device 300 may not have the second limiting block 380. In this case, the functional module 200 can rotate repeatedly without restriction under the drive of the first driving device 300.

[0061] In addition, the two first limit blocks can be detachably mounted on the equipment bracket 100, so that users can flexibly adjust the distance between them according to the actual scenario, thereby constraining the rotation angle range of the second drive device 400, and indirectly adjusting the working angle range of the functional module 200.

[0062] In a further technical solution, the vehicle-mounted equipment may also include an angle sensor 500. Specifically, the angle sensor 500 can be used to detect the actual angle of rotation of the functional module 200, and when the actual angle reaches a preset angle, control the second drive device 400 to shut down. The above structure uses the angle sensor 500 to more accurately control the rotation angle of the functional module 200.

[0063] In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted device may further include a blocking component. Specifically, the blocking component may be movably disposed on the device bracket 100, and the second drive device 400 may include a second drive motor 410, a first transmission mechanism 420, and a second transmission mechanism 430. The first transmission mechanism 420 and the second transmission mechanism 430 may be belt drive mechanisms, gear drive mechanisms, etc. The second drive motor 410 may be connected to the first drive device 300 through the first transmission mechanism 420, and the second drive motor 410 may be connected to the blocking component through the second transmission mechanism 430 to drive the blocking component to switch between an avoidance state and a blocking state. When the functional module 200 is in the exposed state, the sealing member is in the avoidance state to avoid the avoidance hole 110, thereby ensuring that the functional module 200 can extend out of the hidden space and enter the passenger space through the avoidance hole 110; when the functional module 200 is in the hidden state, the sealing member is in the blocking state to cooperate with the avoidance hole 110 to block, thereby isolating the hidden space A from the passenger space, thereby preventing foreign objects in the passenger space from entering the hidden space A through the avoidance hole 110, and thus preventing foreign objects from causing adverse effects on the components located in the hidden space A.

[0064] It should be noted that the second drive motor 410 can not only drive the first drive device 300 to rotate the functional module 200, but also drive the sealing component to move. Thus, the second drive motor 410 serves a dual purpose, which undoubtedly simplifies the structure of the on-board equipment. Of course, as a power source, the second drive motor 410 can drive the first drive device 300 to rotate the functional module 200 and move the sealing component via the first transmission mechanism 420 and the second transmission mechanism 430, respectively. A transmission differential can be designed between the first transmission mechanism 420 and the second transmission mechanism 430, thereby ensuring that the rotation of the first drive device 300 matches the state of the sealing component.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in a further technical solution, the second transmission mechanism 430 may include a transmission shaft 431, a cam 432, a movable transmission component 433, an actuator 434, and an elastic drive mechanism 435. The second drive motor 410 may be connected to the transmission shaft 431 to drive the transmission shaft 431 to rotate. The cam 432 may be fixed on the transmission shaft 431. The movable transmission component 433 may be movably mounted on the equipment bracket 100. The first end of the movable transmission component 433 may contact the rim of the cam 432, and the second end of the movable transmission component 433 may contact the elastic drive mechanism 435. The elastic drive mechanism 435 is used to drive the first end of the movable transmission component 433 to abut against the rim of the cam 432. The actuator 434 is connected to the movable transmission component 433 to follow the reciprocating movement of the movable transmission component 433 to drive the blocking component to switch between the avoidance state and the blocking state.

[0066] The aforementioned structure involves the first end of the movable transmission member 433 contacting the rim of the cam 432, and the second end of the movable transmission member 433 contacting the elastic drive mechanism 435. As the cam 432 rotates with the drive shaft 431, the movable transmission member 433 can reciprocate. Since the actuator 434 is connected to the movable transmission member 433, the actuator 434 can drive the blocking member to switch between an avoidance state and a blocking state. In this structure, the elastic drive mechanism 435 ensures that the movable transmission member 433 remains in contact with the cam 432, thereby ensuring the stability of the contact. Simultaneously, the rotation of the cam 432 enables the movable transmission member 433 to reciprocate intermittently. This intermittent movement ensures that while the first drive device 300 drives the functional module 200 to rotate, the blocking member is in an avoidance state. When the first drive unit 300 drives the functional module 200 to retract into the hidden space, the continued rotation of the cam 432 ensures that the moving transmission component 433 drives the actuator 434 to switch the blocking component to the blocking state.

[0067] In one alternative approach, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive shaft 431, cam 432, moving transmission component 433, actuator 434, and elastic drive mechanism 435 can all be located in the hidden space A. Specifically, the cam 432 is rotatably disposed below the instrument panel 130 described later, and the elastic drive mechanism 435 is fixedly disposed below the instrument panel 130. The instrument panel 130 can be provided with a guide frame, and the moving transmission component 433 slides with the guide frame. The above structure not only avoids the second transmission mechanism 430 from occupying the seating space, but also makes reasonable use of the space in the hidden space A.

[0068] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4The actuator 434 may include a first connecting block 434a, a first swing rod 434b, and a second connecting block 434c. The sealing member may be a first sealing plate 630. Specifically, the first connecting block 434a is rotatably mounted on the moving transmission member 433 and may have a first through hole. The second connecting block 434c is rotatably mounted on the first sealing plate 630 and may have a second through hole. The first end of the first swing rod 434b may slide in conjunction with the first through hole, and the second end of the first swing rod 434b may slide in conjunction with the second through hole. The first swing rod 434b is rotatably connected to the equipment bracket 100.

[0069] In the above structure, the first connecting block 434a has a first through hole and the second connecting block 434c has a second through hole, which facilitates the assembly personnel to assemble the first swing arm 434b and also ensures that the first swing arm 434 is unrestricted during swinging. At the same time, the second drive motor 410 drives the transmission shaft 431 to rotate, and the cam 432 rotates with the transmission shaft 431. The cam 432 cooperates with the elastic drive mechanism 435 to drive the moving transmission component 433 to reciprocate. The first connecting block 434a moves with the moving transmission component 433. The first connecting block 434a can drive the first swing arm 434b to swing, and the first swing arm 434b can drive the second connecting block 434c to swing. The first sealing plate 630 can move and switch between the avoidance state and the sealing state as the second connecting block 434c swings. In other words, the first swing arm 434b can swing with the movement of the moving transmission member 433, and the first blocking plate 630 can move with the swing of the first swing arm 434b to switch between the avoidance state and the blocking state.

[0070] In addition, in order for the first blocking plate 630 to move better, the equipment bracket 100 may be provided with a guide rail that slides with the first blocking plate 630, which is conducive to the first blocking plate 630 switching between the avoidance state and the blocking state more smoothly and stably.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 3In another embodiment of this application, the sealing member may include a first sub-sealing member 610 and a second sub-sealing member 620. Specifically, the first sub-sealing member 610 and the second sub-sealing member 620 may be movably disposed on the equipment bracket 100. The moving transmission member 433 may include a rack portion 433a. The actuating mechanism 434 may include a first gear 434g, a second gear 434e, two linkage mechanisms 434f, and a connecting gear 434d. The first gear 434g and the second gear 434e are both rotatably disposed on the equipment bracket 100 and mesh with each other. The connecting gear 434d may mesh with the rack portion 433a and may be coaxially disposed with the first gear 434g to achieve synchronous rotation. The first gear 434g may be connected to the first sub-sealing member 610 through a linkage mechanism 434f, and the second gear 434e may be connected to the second sub-sealing member 620 through another linkage mechanism 434f.

[0072] During the movement of the transmission component 433 toward the first direction, the connecting gear 434d rotates as the rack portion 433a moves, the first gear 434g rotates with the connecting gear 434d, and the second gear 434e rotates with the first gear 434g. This causes the first gear 434g and the second gear 434e to drive the first sub-blocking component 610 and the second sub-blocking component 620 to approach each other through the corresponding linkage mechanism 434f, until the first sub-blocking component 610 and the second sub-blocking component 620 are connected to the blocking state. This allows the hidden space A to be isolated from the riding space, thereby preventing foreign objects in the riding space from entering the hidden space A through the avoidance hole 110, and thus preventing foreign objects from causing adverse effects on the components located in the hidden space A.

[0073] During the movement of the transmission component 433 toward the second direction, the connecting gear 434d rotates with the movement of the rack portion 433a, the first gear 434g rotates with the connecting gear 434d, and the second gear 434e rotates with the first gear 434g. This causes the first gear 434g and the second gear 434e to drive the first sub-blocking component 610 and the second sub-blocking component 620 away from each other through the corresponding linkage mechanism 434f, until the first sub-blocking component 610 and the second sub-blocking component 620 are separated to a clearance state, thereby facilitating the functional module 200 to extend into the seating space through the clearance hole 110.

[0074] In addition, to ensure the movement accuracy of the first sub-blocking component 610 and the second sub-blocking component 620, the equipment bracket 100 may be provided with a guide groove or guide boss that guides and cooperates with the first sub-blocking component 610 and the second sub-blocking component 620. At the same time, to prevent the first sub-blocking component 610 and the second sub-blocking component 620 from moving excessively, the guide groove or guide boss may be provided with a blocking component, so that the first sub-blocking component 610 and the second sub-blocking component 620 can switch between the avoidance state and the blocking state more smoothly and stably, without moving excessively.

[0075] The elastic drive mechanism 435 can be a pneumatic elastic drive mechanism, etc. In an optional embodiment, the elastic drive mechanism 435 can include an elastic deformation element 435a and a drive mechanism housing 435b. The elastic deformation element 435a can be a spring, a rubber structural component, etc. Specifically, the drive mechanism housing 435b can be fixedly mounted on the equipment bracket 100. The drive mechanism housing 435b has an inner cavity, and the elastic deformation element 435a is disposed in the inner cavity. The first end of the elastic deformation element 435a is positioned on the cavity wall of the inner cavity, and the second end of the elastic deformation element 435a can be sleeved on the moving transmission element 433 and abut against the limiting surface of the moving transmission element 433. During the movement of the elastic deformation element 435a, the moving transmission element 433 will squeeze the elastic deformation element 435a through the limiting surface, thereby realizing the contraction of the elastic deformation element 435a. Of course, as the cam 432 continues to rotate, the deformation of the elastic deformation element 435a will recover. Of course, during this process, the moving transmission component 433 remains in contact with the rim of the cam 432. This technical solution allows the elastic deformation component 435a to be accommodated within the inner cavity, thereby improving its extension and contraction stability. Simultaneously, the ability of a portion of the moving transmission component 433 to move within the inner cavity also undoubtedly improves the stability of its movement.

[0076] Of course, the drive mechanism housing 435b may have a through hole, and the end of the moving transmission member 433 facing away from the cam 432 may extend out of the drive mechanism housing 435b through the through hole. In this case, the moving transmission member 433 can extend out of the inner cavity, avoiding the drive mechanism housing 435b being too large to accommodate the moving transmission member 433.

[0077] In a further technical solution, the drive mechanism housing 435b may include a housing body 435b1 and a plug 435b2. The housing body 435b1 has a first opening and a second opening. The plug 435b2 is detachably installed in the first opening and forms an inner cavity with the housing body 435b1. The moving transmission member 433 extends from the second opening until it contacts the cam 432. A perforation may be formed in the plug 435b2. In this embodiment, the plug 435b2 can be detachably connected to the housing body 435b1 by a screw 435b3. By adjusting the installation depth of the screw 435b3, the pre-tightening force of the plug 435b2 on the elastic deformation member 435a can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the elastic pushing ability of the elastic deformation member 435a on the moving transmission member 433, and indirectly adjusting the tightness of the contact between the moving transmission member 433 and the cam 432.

[0078] Based on the vehicle-mounted device disclosed in the embodiments of this application, this application discloses a vehicle, and the disclosed vehicle includes the vehicle-mounted device described in any of the embodiments above.

[0079] In this embodiment, the vehicle may include a vehicle body, which includes an equipment bracket 100. The equipment bracket 100 may include an internal bracket 120 and an instrument panel 130. Specifically, the internal bracket 120 may be hidden below the instrument panel 130, forming a hidden space A between the internal bracket 120 and the instrument panel 130. The instrument panel 130 has a clearance hole 110. The internal bracket 120 can provide a relatively stable mounting base for the first drive device 300. The first drive device 300 may be mounted on the internal bracket 120 and located within the hidden space A, thereby enabling the first drive device 300 to stably drive the functional module 200. The hidden space A communicates with the vehicle's passenger space through the clearance hole 110. In this case, the equipment bracket 100 of the vehicle-mounted equipment can be included in the vehicle body, which undoubtedly improves the compatibility of the vehicle-mounted equipment in the vehicle and simplifies the vehicle's structure. Of course, the vehicle body and the equipment bracket 100 can also be independent structures.

[0080] In the specific working process, when the user needs the functional module 200 to work, the first drive device 300 and the second drive device 400 are activated. The first drive device 300 and the second drive device 400 can be activated simultaneously or have a time difference between activation (the activation order of the first drive device 300 and the second drive device 400 is not limited). The first drive device 300 drives the functional module 200 to gradually rise. During the rising process, before the rising process, or after the rising process, the second drive device 400 will drive the first drive device 300 to rotate the functional module 200. At the same time, the second drive device 400 can drive the sealing component to move, thereby avoiding the clearance hole 110, so as not to affect the functional module 200's rising process through the clearance hole 110. After the sealing element is fully opened, the second drive device 400 continues to drive. Since the second transmission mechanism 430, which includes a drive shaft 431, a cam 432, a moving transmission component 433, an actuator 434, and an elastic drive mechanism 435, is an intermittent transmission mechanism, the sealing element remains in an avoidance state while the second drive device 400 continues to drive. The second drive device 400 can still drive the first drive device 300 to rotate the functional module 200, thus allowing the working orientation of the functional module 200 to be adjusted even after the sealing element has been driven into position. Of course, the retraction process of the functional module 200 is the reverse of the extension process described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0081] Of course, the second transmission mechanism can also be a mechanism with a clutch device. During the stroke in which the second drive device 400 needs to drive the sealing member to move, the clutch device is in a power connection state, thereby connecting the sealing member and the second drive device 400. During the stroke in which the second drive device 400 does not need to drive the sealing member to move, but only needs to drive the first drive device 300 to rotate, the clutch device is in a disengaged state, thereby preventing the second drive device 400 from driving the sealing member.

[0082] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
