Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle central control screens, and in particular to a screen assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology, more and more vehicles are using touch screen central control panels to replace the old button central control panels. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. However, it is undeniable that the touch screen central control panel is more fashionable and more in line with the aesthetics of young people than the button central control panel.

[0003] There is a very prominent problem with the current touch-screen central control panel, that is, after operating the touch screen, fingerprints and stains from the fingers will remain on the surface of the touch screen. The fingerprints and stains not only affect the appearance of the touch screen, but also affect the user's viewing of the display content of the touch screen.

[0004] There is no good way to prevent fingerprints from remaining. Although some companies are developing anti-fingerprint coatings or anti-stain films, hoping to fundamentally solve the problem of fingerprints, the final effect is not ideal and has not impressed the majority of consumers. In the end, car owners can only take the most primitive method, that is, manually wipe and clean the touch screen surface regularly.

[0005] In addition to touch screens, normal non-vertically placed commercial display screens will also accumulate dust after long-term use, and the display surface also needs to be manually wiped and cleaned regularly. Summary of the invention

When the driving motor rotates, it drives the rotating shaft connecting part to rotate, and the rotating shaft connecting part drives the screen frame to rotate. The screen frame rotates with its fixed end as the axis so that its movable end moves away from or approaches the outer shell.

[0011] Preferably, the screen driving mechanism is a screen moving mechanism, and the screen moving mechanism controls the screen frame to move away from or close to the outer shell.

[0012] Furthermore, the screen moving mechanism includes an electric cylinder and a control rod. The electric cylinder is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the outer shell. The piston rod of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the control rod. The control rod is fixedly connected to the screen frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a screw connection part, a frame connection part, and a cleaning part; the screw connection part has a threaded hole matching the screw member or is equipped with a nut seat matching the screw member; the frame connection part is slidably connected to the screen frame; the cleaning part is located on the outer side of the screen frame, and the cleaning part is detachably equipped with a cleaning cloth that contacts the outer surface of the screen component and is used for cleaning.

[0015] Furthermore, the left and right end surfaces of the screen frame are provided with convex rails, and the frame connecting part is provided with grooves that slide in cooperation with the convex rails.

[0016] The present invention further proposes a vehicle, comprising a screen assembly as described in any one of the above items.

The screen frame 2 rotates by a preset angle with its fixed end as the axis, and its movable end moves away from the outer shell 1 while driving the touch screen 3 away from the outer shell 1 to a preset position, so that the space generated between the outer shell 1 and the touch screen 3 meets the cleaning needs of the cleaning component 8; then the screw motor 6 starts to rotate forward and drives the trapezoidal screw shaft 7 to rotate forward, and the trapezoidal screw shaft 7 drives the cleaning component 8 to move, and the cleaning component 8 moves from the initial position to the direction close to the screw motor 6 to the first cleaning position; when the cleaning component 8 moves to the first cleaning position, the screw motor 6 starts to reverse and drives the trapezoidal screw shaft 7 to reverse, and the trapezoidal screw shaft 7 It also drives the cleaning component 8 to move from the first cleaning position to the second cleaning position away from the screw motor 6; when the cleaning component 8 moves to the second cleaning position, the screw motor 6 rotates forward again, and the above actions are repeated many times. The cleaning component 8 cleans the outer surface of the touch screen 3 during the reciprocating movement; when cleaning is completed, the cleaning component 8 resets to the initial position, and the screw motor 6 stops working; then the driving motor 4 starts to reverse and drives the shaft connector 5 to reverse, and the shaft connector 5 drives the screen frame 2 and the touch screen 3 to rotate close to the outer shell 1 and return to the initial position; the screen frame 2 and the touch screen 3 from the initial position to the preset position and then to the initial position is regarded as a cleaning work cycle.

[0025] In this embodiment, the cleaning assembly 8 includes a screw connection part 81, a frame connection part 82, and a cleaning part 83; the screw connection part 81 has a threaded hole that matches the trapezoidal screw shaft 7; the left and right end faces of the screen frame 2 have convex rails, and the frame connection part 82 has a groove that slides with the convex rails; the cleaning part 83 is located on the outer side of the screen frame 2, and the cleaning part 83 is detachably equipped with a cleaning cloth that contacts the outer surface of the touch screen 3 and is used for cleaning; this embodiment adopts a scheme in which the trapezoidal screw shaft 7 matches the threaded hole on the screw connection part 81, and can also adopt a scheme in which the ball screw shaft matches the nut seat fixedly installed on the screw connection part. The two schemes have their own advantages and disadvantages and can be adopted as needed. The specific advantages and disadvantages can be referred to the prior art. In addition to the above two schemes, other motion mechanism schemes that can also drive the cleaning assembly 8 to make it move back and forth can be used instead.

[0026] The screen assembly of this embodiment can be applied to vehicles, especially vehicles with embedded touch screens, and can be configured to automatically start cleaning the touch screen 3 after the engine is turned off or to start cleaning the touch screen 3 according to user instructions. When the touch screen 3 is in normal display and use state, the screen frame 2 or the touch screen 3 is attached to the outer shell 1, presenting a complete integrated screen, but because it is in an attached state, there is no space for the cleaning component 8 to clean the touch screen 3. When cleaning is started, the drive motor 4 is started to lower the lower end of the screen to form a certain angle with the outer shell 1, thereby freeing up a certain space to meet the working needs of the cleaning component 8, and then the cleaning component 8 reciprocates up and down to clean the stains and fingerprints on the surface of the touch screen 3. After cleaning, the cleaning component 8 returns to the initial state, and the lower end of the screen is raised and attached to the outer shell 1 again. In addition to being applied to vehicles, the screen assembly of this embodiment can also be applied to other indoor and outdoor display screens installed on the wall. A motion mechanism and a cleaning component are set in the wall, and then the touch screen is replaced with an ordinary display screen.

[0027] This embodiment has a simple structure, no unnecessary structural components, and a low overall cost; the cleaning component is installed integrally with the screen, and no additional installation is required by the user; it has the function of automatically cleaning the screen, which reduces the need for users to manually wipe the screen, is easy to operate, and improves the user experience.

[0028] Embodiment 2, a screen assembly, including an outer shell, a screen frame, a screen component, a screen moving mechanism, and a screen cleaning mechanism; this embodiment is generally similar in structure to Embodiment 1, the main difference being that the screen rotation mechanism in Embodiment 1 is replaced by the screen moving mechanism of this embodiment; the screen moving mechanism in this embodiment is used to control the screen frame to move away from or approach the outer shell, specifically, the screen moving mechanism includes an electric cylinder and a control rod, the electric cylinder is fixedly mounted on the inner side surface of the outer shell, the piston rod of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the control rod; the control rod is fixedly connected to the screen frame; the piston rod of the electric cylinder drives the control rod to move when it is extended or retracted, and the control rod in turn drives the screen frame to move away from or approach the outer shell.

[0029] When cleaning is required, the electric cylinder starts the piston rod to extend and drive the control rod to move, and the control rod drives the screen frame to move away from the outer shell, and then the screen cleaning mechanism starts to work; when cleaning is completed, the screen cleaning mechanism stops working, and then the electric cylinder piston rod contracts and drives the control rod to move, and the control rod drives the screen frame to move close to the outer shell.

[0030] Although the technical concept of this embodiment is different from that of Embodiment 1, the specific working principle can refer to Embodiment 1, and the technical effect can achieve the same level as that of Embodiment 1.
