Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive computer technology. Specifically, this invention relates to a passenger-side computer installation device and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With technological advancements, cars are no longer just a means of transportation in people's daily lives. In today's rapidly evolving technological world, cars have been endowed with increasingly diverse attributes. As cars become more technologically advanced and intelligent, the experiences they offer are also becoming richer. Now, car manufacturers are no longer satisfied with merely providing drivers with a perfect driving experience; they are paying more attention to the overall passenger experience within the car's cabin, ensuring a pleasant ride for every passenger.
[0003] To provide a comfortable ride for the front passenger, existing vehicles include a trip computer. However, this computer is typically mounted on the front passenger dashboard and cannot be removed. Passengers must remain in a fixed position to operate it comfortably, significantly impacting the passenger experience. While the original intention of adding a trip computer was to enhance the front passenger's enjoyment, this approach actually reduces passenger comfort and creates a very unpleasant experience. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a passenger-side computer mounting device, the purpose of which is to make the passenger-side computer removable.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a passenger computer installation device, including a base, a movably mounted limiting mechanism on the base, a position control mechanism connected to the limiting mechanism and used to control the limiting mechanism to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position, and a limiting rod mounted on the limiting mechanism and releasing the limitation on the passenger computer when the limiting mechanism is in the unlocked position.
[0006] The limiting rod is configured to switch between a raised state and a lowered state. When the limiting mechanism is in the locked position, the limiting rod is in the raised state, and the limiting rod limits the passenger's computer. When the limiting mechanism is in the unlocked position, the limiting rod is in the lowered state, and the limiting rod releases the limitation on the passenger's computer.
[0007] The base is provided with a slider that contacts the limiting rod and is used to switch the limiting rod from a raised state to a lowered state during the process of the limiting mechanism switching from a locked position to an unlocked position.
[0008] The first end of the limiting rod along its length is connected to the limiting mechanism, and the second end of the limiting rod is a limiting end used to limit the passenger computer. During the process of the limiting rod switching from the raised state to the lowered state, the distance between the second end of the limiting rod and the base gradually decreases; during the process of the limiting rod switching from the lowered state to the raised state, the distance between the second end of the limiting rod and the base gradually increases.
[0009] The position control mechanism includes a first elastic element connected to the base and the limiting mechanism, the first elastic element being configured to control the limiting mechanism to switch from a locked position to an unlocked position.
[0010] The position control mechanism further includes a rotatable limiting gear mounted on the limiting mechanism and a driving mechanism for driving the limiting gear to rotate. A limiting block is provided on the base, and a slot is provided on the limiting gear for the limiting block to be inserted.
[0011] The limiting gear is an incomplete gear.
[0012] The limiting mechanism is provided with a second elastic element to control the return of the limiting gear.
[0013] The drive mechanism includes a drive motor and a drive gear connected to the drive motor and meshing with the limiting gear.
[0014] The present invention also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned co-pilot computer mounting device.
[0015] The passenger-side computer mounting device of this invention, while retaining the requirement of fixing the passenger-side computer to the passenger-side dashboard, also allows for free removal of the computer. Under normal circumstances, the passenger-side computer is fixed in place, allowing operation from a fixed position. If the passenger finds this method uncomfortable, they can choose to remove the computer and fix it in another position or operate it by hand. To return the passenger-side computer to its original position, simply press it down a short distance to lock it. This invention provides greater convenience for passenger entertainment, solves the problem of passengers not being able to operate the computer in the most comfortable way, and improves the overall riding experience in the car cabin.

[0027] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more comprehensive description of the present invention will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate several embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the text. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and complete.
[0028] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.
[0029] It should be noted that in the following embodiments, the terms "first" and "second" do not represent an absolute distinction in structure and / or function, nor do they represent the order of execution, but are merely for the convenience of description.
[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly associated with those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention provides a passenger-side computer installation device, including a base 7, a limiting mechanism 6 movably disposed on the base 7, a position control mechanism connected to the limiting mechanism 6 and used to control the limiting mechanism 6 to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position, and a limiting rod 10 disposed on the limiting mechanism 6 and releasing the limitation on the passenger-side computer when the limiting mechanism 6 is in the unlocked position.
[0032] Specifically, the purpose of this invention is to provide a mechanism that allows for phased locking and unlocking, thereby enabling the free disassembly of the passenger-side computer and addressing the problem that passengers are required to operate the computer from a fixed position due to its non-removable nature. The passenger-side computer is locked primarily by controlling the contact between the limiting mechanism 6 and the fixed structure. To unlock it, simply activate the motor to disengage the limiting mechanism 6 from the fixed structure, allowing the passenger-side computer to be freely removed. To lock the passenger-side computer again, simply press it downwards; the limiting mechanism 6 will then return to its initial position.
[0033] This invention provides a freely detachable passenger-side computer for automobiles. During the self-locking process, a limiting mechanism 6 is connected to the passenger-side computer, and the limiting mechanism 6 locks the passenger-side computer to achieve fixation. During the unlocking process, the limiting mechanism 6 is separated from the passenger-side computer, allowing the passenger-side computer to be freely removed. During the relocking process, the limiting mechanism 6 is reconnected and fixed to the passenger-side computer.
[0034] The limiting mechanism 6 mainly consists of two parts. The first part is the groove at the bottom, which mates with the groove in the base 7 to ensure that the limiting mechanism 6 can only move up and down, and cannot move left and right. The second part is the limiting rod 10 at the upper end of the limiting mechanism 6, which mainly uses the limiting rod 10 to fix the passenger-side computer and the limiting mechanism 6 together. The base 7 consists of a stop block that mates with the limiting mechanism 6, a limiting block 8 at the lower end that restricts the movement of the mechanism, a fixing block at the upper end that is connected to a hook spring, and a slider 9 that controls the raising and lowering of the limiting rod 10. The passenger-side computer is also specially designed to meet the locking requirements.
[0035] Under normal conditions, the co-driver's computer is vertically fixed in the co-driver's seat, and the passenger can operate the computer from the designated position. After pressing the unlock button, the motor starts and unlocks the limit mechanism 6 and the co-driver's computer, at which point the co-driver's computer can be freely removed. Pressing the co-driver's computer down again will re-fix the computer.
[0036] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this invention is to lock and unlock the passenger-side computer by controlling the rotation of the limiting gear 3 and the contact between the limiting gear 3 and the limiting block 8, allowing it to be fixed and freely removed. The specific operating steps are as follows:
[0037] Under normal conditions, the limiting gear 3 hooks onto the limiting block 8 on the base 7, and under the action of the torsion spring, the limiting gear 3 cannot rotate left or right. At the same time, the hook spring is stretched, generating a vertical upward pulling force on the limiting mechanism 6, preventing the limiting mechanism 6 from moving up or down, thus fixing the limiting mechanism 6. Meanwhile, the limiting rod 10 on the limiting mechanism 6 is lifted by the slider 9, connecting the limiting mechanism 6 to the passenger-side computer, thus fixing the passenger-side computer as well.
[0038] After pressing the unlock button, the drive motor 1 drives the drive gear 2 to rotate, causing the limit gear 3 to disengage from the slider 9 of the base 7, and the limit mechanism 6 can move up and down. At this time, the hook spring is still stretched, and the limit mechanism 6 moves upward under the tension of the hook spring. As the limit rod 10 on the limit mechanism 6 moves upward, it no longer fixes the passenger computer, and the passenger computer is thus released and can be freely removed.
[0039] When the passenger computer is pressed again, the limiting gear 3 hooks onto the base 7 limiting block 8 again, and the limiting rod 10 also fixes the passenger computer, thus achieving self-locking fixation of the entire structure.
[0040] The passenger-side computer mounting device is installed on the vehicle, and the passenger-side computer is mounted on the mounting device, located in the passenger-side seat. Under normal circumstances, the passenger-side computer is vertically fixed in the passenger-side position. After pressing the unlock button, the passenger-side computer mounting device releases the lock on the passenger-side computer and automatically pops out a short distance, at which point the passenger-side computer can be freely removed. When you want to re-secure the computer, simply mount the passenger-side computer on the mounting device and press down; the passenger-side computer will then be locked by the limit lever 10.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the limit rod 10 is configured to switch between a raised state and a lowered state. When the limit mechanism 6 is in the locked position, the limit rod 10 is in the raised state, at which time the limit rod 10 limits the passenger computer, thus achieving the fixed installation of the passenger computer on the mounting device. When the limit mechanism 6 is in the unlocked position, the limit rod 10 is in the lowered state, at which time the limit rod 10 releases the limitation on the passenger computer, so that the passenger computer can be removed from the mounting device.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a slider 9 is provided on the base 7, which contacts the limiting rod 10 and is used to switch the limiting rod 10 from a raised state to a lowered state during the process of the limiting mechanism 6 switching from a locked position to an unlocked position. The first end of the limiting rod 10 in the length direction is connected to the limiting mechanism 6, and the second end of the limiting rod 10 is a limiting end used to limit the passenger computer. During the process of the limiting rod 10 switching from a raised state to a lowered state, the distance between the second end of the limiting rod 10 and the base 7 gradually decreases; during the process of the limiting rod 10 switching from a lowered state to a raised state, the distance between the second end of the limiting rod 10 and the base 7 gradually increases. The first end and the second end of the limiting rod 10 are opposite ends in the length direction of the limiting rod 10. The limiting rod 10 has an L-shaped structure. The first end is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting mechanism 6, and the second end of the limiting rod 10 is used to hook the passenger computer to achieve the limiting and fixing of the passenger computer. The passenger computer is provided with a slot for the second end of the limiting rod 10 to be inserted, and the shape of the slot matches the shape of the second segment of the limiting rod 10. The slider 9 is fixedly mounted on the first surface of the base 7, protruding outward from the first surface. The limiting rod 10 has a guide surface that contacts the slider 9. The limiting mechanism 6 is slidably connected to the base 7, and the slider 9 is located on the path of the limiting mechanism 6. The thickness of the first end of the limiting rod 10 is less than the thickness of the second end, and the limiting rod 10 can deflect relative to the limiting mechanism 6 with the first end as the fulcrum. The limiting rod 10 has a certain degree of elasticity.
[0043] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, during the process of the limiting mechanism 6 switching from the locked position to the unlocked position, the limiting mechanism 6 moves linearly on the base 7. The limiting mechanism 6 drives the limiting rod 10 to move synchronously. The limiting rod 10 contacts the slider 9. The distance between the first end of the limiting rod 10 and the first surface of the base 7 remains unchanged. As the limiting mechanism 6 gradually approaches the slider 9, the second end of the limiting rod 10 gradually moves away from the slider 9. The distance between the second end of the limiting rod 10 and the first surface of the base 7 gradually decreases. Finally, the limiting rod 10 switches to the lowered state, and the second end of the limiting rod 10 releases its restriction on the passenger computer.
[0044] During the process of the limiting mechanism 6 switching from the unlocked position to the locked position, the limiting mechanism 6 moves linearly on the base 7, and the limiting mechanism 6 drives the limiting rod 10 to move synchronously. The limiting rod 10 contacts the slider 9, and the distance between the first end of the limiting rod 10 and the first surface of the base 7 remains unchanged. As the limiting mechanism 6 gradually moves away from the slider 9, the second end of the limiting rod 10 gradually moves closer to the slider 9, and the distance between the second end of the limiting rod 10 and the first surface of the base 7 gradually increases. Finally, the limiting rod 10 switches to the raised state, and the second end of the limiting rod 10 limits the passenger computer. The distance between the second end of the limiting rod 10 and the first surface when the limiting rod 10 is in the lowered state is less than the distance between the second end of the limiting rod 10 and the first surface when the limiting rod 10 is in the raised state.
[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the position control mechanism includes a first elastic element 5 connected to the base 7 and the limiting mechanism 6. The first elastic element 5 is configured to control the limiting mechanism 6 to switch from a locked position to an unlocked position. The first elastic element 5 is a hook spring. A first fixing post is provided on the base 7, and a second fixing post is provided on the limiting mechanism 6. One end of the first elastic element 5 is mounted on the first fixing post, and the other end of the first elastic element 5 is mounted on the second fixing post. The first elastic element 5 applies a pulling force to the limiting mechanism 6, which can move the limiting mechanism 6 from the locked position to the unlocked position. The locked position and the unlocked position are on the same straight line parallel to the length direction of the base 7.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the position control mechanism also includes a rotatable limit gear 3 mounted on the limit mechanism 6 and a drive mechanism for driving the limit gear 3 to rotate. A limit block 8 is provided on the base 7, and a slot is provided on the limit gear 3 for the limit block 8 to be inserted. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 1 and a drive gear 2 connected to the drive motor 1 and meshing with the limit gear 3. The limit gear 3 is an incomplete gear, where the teeth of the incomplete gear do not cover the entire pitch circle. The limit gear 3 has a toothed area with evenly distributed teeth and a toothless area without teeth. The arc of the toothed area is less than 180 degrees, and the arc of the toothless area is less than 180 degrees. The teeth of the toothed area of the limit gear 3 can mesh with the drive gear 2, thereby enabling the drive gear 2 to drive the limit gear 3 to rotate until the toothed area of the limit gear 3 disengages from the drive gear 2. When the drive motor 1 starts running, the drive motor 1 drives the drive gear 2 to rotate. The toothed area of the limit gear 3 meshes with the drive gear 2, and the drive gear 2 can drive the limit gear 3 to rotate.
[0047] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the limiting mechanism 6 is equipped with a second elastic element 4 to control the return of the limiting gear 3. The second elastic element 4 applies an elastic force to the limiting gear 3. The limiting block 8 is fixedly mounted on the base 7. The limiting mechanism 6 is provided with a groove for the limiting block 8 to be inserted. The limiting block 8 and the second elastic element 4 are on the same straight line parallel to the length direction of the base 7. When the limiting mechanism 6 is in the locked position, the limiting block 8 is inserted into the groove of the limiting gear 3. The limiting gear 3 hooks onto the limiting block 8. Under the elastic force applied by the second elastic element 4, the limiting gear 3 remains stationary. Thus, through the cooperation of the limiting gear 3 and the limiting block 8, the limiting mechanism 6 is locked, keeping the limiting mechanism 6 in the locked position. At this time, the limiting rod 10 is in the raised state.
[0048] Preferably, the second elastic element 4 is a torsion spring, the limiting gear 3 is mounted on the limiting mechanism 6 via a rotating shaft, the second elastic element 4 is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the second elastic element 4 is connected to the limiting gear 3 and the limiting mechanism 6.
[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, under normal conditions, the passenger-side computer and the limiting mechanism 6 are locked. The limiting mechanism 6 is in the locked position, at which point the first elastic element 5 is stretched, and the limiting gear 3 contacts the limiting block 8 on the base 7. The limiting block 8 is embedded in the slot on the limiting gear 3, preventing the limiting gear 3 from rotating under the action of the second elastic element 4. The first elastic element 5 is also stretched, and the limiting mechanism 6 is subjected to a pulling force from the first elastic element 5, preventing the limiting mechanism 6 from moving up and down, thus fixing the limiting mechanism 6. The limiting rod 10 on the limiting mechanism 6 is lifted by the slider 9 on the base 7, and the limiting rod 10 is in the lifted state. The limiting rod 10 limits the passenger-side computer, fixing it to the limiting mechanism 6, thus fixing the passenger-side computer in the passenger-side position.
[0050] like Figure 7As shown, after the drive motor 1 starts, it drives the drive gear 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the limit gear 3 to rotate until the limit gear 3 separates from the limit block 8. The limit block 8 then moves out of the slot of the limit gear 3, and the limit gear 3 no longer contacts the limit block 8. At this point, the limit mechanism 6 can move up and down on the base 7. The limit mechanism 6 will move upward under the pulling force applied by the first elastic element 5, causing the passenger computer to move upward a certain distance. When the toothed area of the limit gear 3 disengages from the drive gear 2, the drive gear 2 and the limit gear 3 are no longer meshed. The limit gear 3 will return to its previous position under the action of the second elastic element 4, achieving a return to its original position. During the upward movement of the limit mechanism 6, the limit rod 10 moves synchronously with the limit mechanism 6. The limit rod 10 switches from the raised state to the lowered state, releasing the restriction on the passenger computer, which can then be freely removed. When the force on the first elastic element 5 is balanced, the first elastic element 5 no longer stretches or compresses, and the limiting mechanism 6 also stops moving. Compared with before, the passenger computer and the limiting mechanism 6 are pulled upward a certain distance, and the passenger computer can be easily removed.
[0051] When installing the passenger-side computer, mount it on the base, ensuring it contacts the lower limiting mechanism 6. Press the passenger-side computer downwards, causing it to push the limiting mechanism 6 downwards. The first elastic element 5 is stretched. When the limiting gear 3 encounters the limiting block 8, the downward force causes the limiting gear 3 to rotate. After passing the limiting block 8, the limiting gear 3 resets under the action of the second elastic element 4. At this point, the limiting gear 3 hooks onto the limiting block 8, and the limiting block 8 is embedded in the slot of the limiting gear 3. Because the first elastic element 5 is stretched, the limiting mechanism 6 is unable to move up or down due to the tension, thus remaining fixed in this position. The limiting mechanism 6 is in the locked position. Simultaneously, the limiting rod 10 switches to the raised state, locking the passenger-side computer. The passenger-side computer is now re-fixed to the dashboard and cannot be removed.
[0052] The limiting gear 3 of this device has a hook that can engage with the limiting block 8 under the action of a tension spring, dividing the reciprocating motion into upward and downward parts. After the downward movement stops, the device will not immediately enter the upward movement, but will be stationary and fixed. The limiting gear 3 only has a portion of its teeth, so after the motor has been running for a period of time, the limiting gear 3 can disengage from the driving gear 2, unlocking the device and allowing it to move upward. The bottom of the limiting rod 10 is inclined, and the limiting rod 10 has a certain degree of elasticity. When the computer moves downward, it can be lifted by the slider 9 to fix the computer. When the computer moves upward, it can automatically move downward to prevent the limiting rod 10 from obstructing the upward stroke of the device.
[0053] The present invention also provides a vehicle including a passenger-side computer mounting device. The specific structure of this passenger-side computer mounting device can be found in [reference needed]. Figures 1 to 9 Further details will not be elaborated here.

Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

Compared with the previous state, the copilot computer and the limiting mechanism are pulled upward by a distance, and the copilot computer can be removed; When installing the copilot computer, the copilot computer is installed on the base and is in contact with the limiting mechanism below, and then the copilot computer is pressed downward, the copilot computer drives the limiting mechanism to move downward, and the first elastic element is elongated. When the limiting gear hits the limiting block, the limiting gear is driven to rotate by the limiting block due to the downward force, and after the limiting gear passes the limiting block, it is reset under the action of the second elastic element. At this time, the limiting gear hooks the limiting block, and the limiting block is embedded in the clamping groove of the limiting gear; because the first elastic element is elongated, the limiting mechanism cannot move up and down under the action of the pulling force, and thus is fixed at this position, and the limiting mechanism is in the locked position; at the same time, the limiting rod switches to the raised state, and the limiting rod locks the copilot computer; at this time, the copilot computer is re-fixed on the instrument panel and cannot be removed.
