[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile production and manufacturing, and in particular to a layered auxiliary instrument panel and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The sub-dashboard is located in the lower middle part of the car dashboard and is connected to the body panel. Usually, multiple functional blocks such as shifters, cup holders, storage boxes, etc. need to be arranged on the sub-dashboard.
[0003] However, conventional instrument panels are single-layer designs, and the area and space on the upper surface where these functional blocks can be arranged is very limited. In many cases, these functional blocks are stuffed into other places that do not meet the requirements of human-machine operation, or are cancelled, or placed in places that destroy the integrity and coordination of the shape, sacrificing not only the human-machine, but also the function and the shape creativity.
[0004] In addition, in the engine start-up driving scenarios and the engine shutdown parking scenarios, the sub-instrument panel shifter is always in the same state. The protruding operating handle and the functional block layout on the conventional sub-instrument panel make the sub-instrument panel surface uneven, making it impossible to place computers, hold meetings, give speeches, and other activities, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the defects existing in the prior art, the first aspect of the present invention provides a layered auxiliary instrument panel, which solves the problems of area and space limitation of arranging multi-function blocks in a conventional single-layer auxiliary instrument panel, human-machine problems, styling damage problems, and inconvenience in working in the car when parking and turning off the engine through a layered layout and multiple combinations produced by position changes of the shifter module, the first functional module and the second functional module.

[0060] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a layered auxiliary instrument panel, which includes a base 1 , a shifter module 2 , a first functional module 3 and a second functional module 4 .
[0061] The base 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11 and a first storage box 12 and a second storage box 13 located on both sides of the receiving cavity 11 .
[0062] The shifter module 2 is movably disposed in the receiving chamber 11 .
[0063] The first functional module 3 is disposed on the top of the base 1 , and can slide horizontally along the area corresponding to the receiving cavity 11 and the first storage box 12 when the shifter module 2 is located in the receiving cavity 11 .
[0064] The second functional module 4 is disposed on the top of the base 1 and can slide horizontally along the area corresponding to the receiving cavity 11 and the second storage box 13 when the shifter module 2 is located in the receiving cavity 11 .
[0065] It is worth noting that the embodiment of the present invention is mainly divided into four parts according to function, the first part is the base 1, the second part is the shifter module 2, the third part is the first functional module 3, and the fourth part is the second functional module 4.
[0066] The base 1 is provided with two storage spaces: a first storage box 12 and a second storage box 13, and is provided with horizontal slide rails for the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 to slide, and a vertical slide rail for the shifter module 2. Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate overall ventilation, a rear-row blowing face air duct 14 is also embedded in the base 1 , and the rear-row blowing face air duct 14 is also provided with a rear-row air outlet 15 extending from the second storage box 13 .
[0067] The shifter module 2 includes a shifter 21 and a cup holder 22. Preferably, the shifter module 2 also integrates a one-touch start switch 23 and an electronic parking brake system EPB switch 24. The shifter module 2 is provided with a first drive motor for driving the entire shifter module 2 to rise and fall, and can be automatically raised and lowered based on the vertical slide rail of the base 1.
[0068] The first functional module 3 is located at the front end of the layered auxiliary instrument panel and is mainly used by the front row personnel. It includes an upper sliding cover 32 and a lower first sliding seat 31, and is provided with a slide rail of the sliding cover 32 and its driving motor, as well as a second driving motor for driving the first sliding seat 31 to slide forward and backward. The sliding cover 32 can slide forward and backward automatically relative to the first sliding seat 31, and the first sliding seat 31 can slide horizontally along the area corresponding to the receiving cavity 11 and the first storage box 12. The first sliding seat 31 is a functional arrangement module, and is provided with a first functional area, which includes but is not limited to: a front row power supply 33, a front row USB interface 34, a card box 35, a pen clip slot 36 and / or a mobile phone placement slot 37.
[0069] The second functional module 4 is located at the rear end of the layered auxiliary instrument panel and is mainly used by the rear passengers. It includes an upper hand rest 42 and a lower second slide 41, and is provided with a slide rail of the hand rest 42 and its driving motor, as well as a third driving motor driving the second slide 41 to slide forward and backward, so that the second slide 41 can slide horizontally along the area corresponding to the receiving cavity 11 and the second storage box 13. The second slide 41 is a functional arrangement module, and is provided with a second functional area. The first functional area includes but is not limited to: a rear power supply 43 and / or a rear USB interface 44.
[0070] In addition, it also includes a pressure sensor and ECU (Electronic Control Unit) used in conjunction with the layered auxiliary instrument panel. The pressure sensor is arranged in the seat cushion, and after the driver sits down in the car, it feeds back the pressure signal to the ECU. The ECU receives the pressure signal from the pressure sensor in the seat cushion, analyzes and processes it, and issues a signal instruction.
[0071] In some embodiments, the first function module 3 and the second function module 4 slide at positions including a front position, a middle position and a rear position. That is, the first function module 3 and the second function module 4 can be combined according to different positions to cope with different usage scenarios.
[0072] Specifically, see Figure 5 As shown, when the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 both slide to the front gear position, the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 are docked, and the first storage box 12 is closed, and the second storage box 13 is fully opened.
[0073] See also Figure 6 As shown, when the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 both slide to the middle position, the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 are docked, and the first storage box 12 is partially opened, and the second storage box 13 is partially opened.
[0074] See also Figure 7 As shown, when the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 both slide to the rear position, the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 are docked, and the first storage box 12 is fully opened, and the second storage box 13 is closed.
[0075] The present invention is further described below in combination with different usage scenarios:
[0076] Scenario 1: When the engine is started and the vehicle is driving:
[0077] When the driver opens the door, enters the car and sits on the seat, the pressure sensor in the seat cushion feeds back the pressure signal to the ECU. The ECU receives the pressure signal from the pressure sensor in the seat cushion, analyzes and processes it, and issues a signal instruction. The ECU receives the pressure signal and issues an instruction to start the second drive motor that moves the first functional module 3 forward as a whole, and the third drive motor that moves the second functional module 4 backward as a whole, and drives the first functional module 3 forward to the frontmost position (front gear) and the second functional module 4 backward to the rearmost position (rear gear) respectively; when the first functional module 3 slides to the frontmost position and the second functional module 4 slides to the rearmost position, the ECU sends a signal to the first drive motor of the shifter module 2 to drive the shifter module 2 to rise to the highest position (such as Figure 1The vehicle has not yet been officially started.
[0078] When the one-button start switch 23 on the shifter module 2 is pressed, the ECU receives the signal and simultaneously sends instructions to the drive motor of the upper sliding cover 32 of the first functional module 3 and the drive motor of the upper hand rest 42 of the second functional module 4, respectively. The two drive motors simultaneously drive the sliding cover 32 to move forward to the fully open state and drive the hand rest to move forward to the first gear position (such as Figure 3 As shown), at this time, the lower functional module of the first functional module 3 can be used by the front passengers, and the rear USB interface 44 and the 12V rear power supply 43 behind the second slide seat 41 at the lower part of the second functional module 4 can be used by the rear passengers.
[0079] A button is set on the car key. When the button is pressed, the first functional module 3 can be moved forward as a whole to be completely hidden in the dashboard, so that the first storage box 12 at the front end is fully opened, and the front row passengers can take out some large items, such as tissues, laptops, readers, etc. When the button on the car key is pressed again, the lower module of the first functional module 3 can slide out from the inside of the dashboard for the front row passengers to use.
[0080] Scenario 2: Engine shutdown and parking scenario:
[0081] After the engine is turned off and the (mechanical, electronic) handbrake is pulled, the system receives the signal, the ECU control system starts, the shifter module 2 automatically descends, other functional blocks automatically descend, the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 automatically move backward and forward respectively, and the two are spliced together to form a complete plane, which is convenient for placing computers, holding meetings, and presenting speeches in the car.
[0082] It is worth noting that in the engine shutdown scene, the first function module 3 and the second function module 4 have three position distributions:
[0083] Location distribution status 1: See Figure 6 As shown, the first function module 3 and the second function module 4 are both slid to the middle position and spliced together, and the upper surface forms a flat platform, which is suitable for the scene where the front and rear row personnel need to operate the computer to give a speech at the same time; the first storage box 12 and the second storage box 13 are only partially opened, so that the front and rear row personnel can take and put some small items from the first storage box 12 and the second storage box 13 respectively; after the engine is turned off and the car is parked, the first function module 3 and the second function module 4 automatically slide to position distribution state 1, which is the normal state after the engine is turned off and the car is parked.
[0084] Location distribution status 2: See Figure 7As shown, the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 are both slid to the rear position and spliced together, and the upper surface forms a flat platform, which is suitable for the scene where the rear row personnel operate the computer to give a speech; the first storage box 12 is fully opened, which is convenient for the front row personnel to take some large items from the front storage box, such as paper towels, laptops, readers, etc.
[0085] Location distribution status 3: See Figure 5 As shown, the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 are both slid to the front position and spliced together, and the upper surface forms a flat platform, which is suitable for the scene where the front row personnel operate the computer to give a speech; the second storage box 13 is fully opened, which is convenient for the back row personnel to take some large items from the second storage box 13, such as paper towels, laptops, readers, etc.
[0086] It is understandable that the three position distribution states can be switched according to actual application scenarios. Specifically, the three position distribution states can be switched cyclically from the first position distribution state by pressing a preset button on the car key.
[0087] In summary, the layered auxiliary instrument panel in the present invention includes a base 1, a shifter module 2, a first functional module 3 and a second functional module 4. Through the layered layout and the various combinations generated by the position change between the shifter module 2, the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4, the conventional single-layer auxiliary instrument panel solves the area and space limitations of the multifunctional blocks, the human-machine problem and the problem of destroying the shape, and optimizes the reasonable layout of many functional blocks. In addition, it also opens up the scene of placing computers in the parking and engine-off state, holding meetings, lectures and presentations, etc., providing users with a platform for in-car office work, which is highly practical, brings new experiences to users, develops new vehicle functions, and is beneficial to the rapid development of new automotive interior structures.
[0088] In the meantime, see Figure 8 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention also discloses a method for controlling a layered secondary instrument panel, the method comprising the following steps:
[0089] S1. Drive the first function module 3 and the second function module 4 to move in opposite directions to the set position, and then drive the shifter module 2 to rise from the receiving cavity 11 to the set position, and start the function to respond to the engine start signal when reaching the set position.
[0090] For specific implementation, see Fig. 9 As shown, step S1 includes:
[0091] S11. The electronic control unit ECU responds to a pressure signal from a pressure sensor disposed in the seat cushion.
[0092] S12. First drive the first functional module 3 to slide to the front gear position, drive the second functional module 4 to slide to the rear gear position, and then drive the shifter module 2 to rise to the highest position.

[0094] S14. Drive the slide cover 32 of the first functional module 3 to slide relative to the first slide seat 31 to expose the first functional area in the first slide seat 31 , and drive the hand rest 42 of the second functional module 4 to slide relative to the second slide seat 41 to expose the second functional area in the second slide seat 41 .
[0095] S2. Drive the shifter module 2 downward to be accommodated in the accommodation cavity 11, and then drive the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 to slide horizontally in opposite or same directions to a set position for splicing in response to the engine shutdown signal.
[0096] In specific implementation, step S2 includes:
[0097] After receiving the engine shutdown signal, the ECU sends a command to control the shifter module 2 to descend so as to be accommodated in the accommodation cavity 11 .
[0098] The first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 are driven to slide to the front position to be spliced into a platform, and the first storage box 12 is closed and the second storage box 13 is fully opened.
[0099] Alternatively, the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 are driven to slide to the middle position to be spliced into a platform, and the first storage box 12 and the second storage box 13 are partially opened.
[0100] Alternatively, the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 are driven to slide to the rear position to be spliced into a platform, and the first storage box 12 is fully opened and the second storage box 13 is closed.
[0101] In summary, the control method of the layered auxiliary instrument panel in the present invention solves the area and space limitations of the conventional single-layer auxiliary instrument panel layout multifunctional blocks, as well as the human-machine problem and the problem of destroying the shape, by controlling the position changes of the shifter module 2, the first functional module 3 and the second functional module 4 to produce multiple combinations, and optimizes the reasonable layout of many functional blocks. In addition, it also opens up scenarios for placing computers in the parking and engine-off state, holding meetings, presentations and other activities, and provides users with a platform for in-car office work, which is highly practical, brings new experiences to users, develops new vehicle functions, and is beneficial to the rapid development of new automotive interior structures.
