[0028] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] In existing technologies, the common layout of rear-seat entertainment screens mainly falls into two categories: one is to install a screen on the backrest or headrest of the driver and front passenger seats in the front row, and the other is to install a single screen in the center of the rear cabin. However, the current problems with these two screen layouts are that their usage is relatively limited, they cannot be flexibly changed according to the number of rear passengers or changes in the scenario, and they cannot meet different usage needs.

[0030] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 A screen component according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a screen assembly 1 includes: a first seat 11 and a second seat 12, a first screen 13 and a second screen 14. The first seat 11 and the second seat 12 are spaced apart; the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 are respectively movably disposed on the first seat 11 and the second seat 12; wherein the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 can selectively move toward each other to switch between a separated state and a combined state. In the separated state, the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 respectively display image information, and in the combined state, the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 jointly display image information.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a screen assembly 1 provides movable space for a first screen 13 and a second screen 14 when they face or move away from each other by spaced-apart first seats 11 and second seats 12. By movably mounting the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 on the first seat 11 and the second seat 12 respectively, the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 can move towards each other and combine to form a large screen, or they can move away from each other to separate themselves from the large screen. In the combined state, the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 jointly display image information; in the separated state, the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 display image information separately without interference. This solves the problem of limited usage methods when installing immovable screens only in the front seats of a vehicle, and also solves the problem of limited usage methods when installing a large screen only in the center of the rear cabin, thus improving the flexibility of screen usage.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first screen 13 is rotatably disposed on a first seat 11, and a second screen 14 is rotatably disposed on a second seat 12. The first screen 13 and the second screen 14 rotate toward each other to switch to a combined state, where they are in close contact with each other. Since the first screen 13 is rotatably disposed on the first seat 11 and the second screen 14 is rotatably disposed on the second seat 12, and the first screen 13 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise on the first seat 11, and the second screen 14 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise on the second seat 12, the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 can rotate toward each other to switch to a combined state to form a large screen. Furthermore, the fact that the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 are in close contact with each other in the combined state ensures smooth screen transitions during use, improving the user experience.

[0034] In other embodiments of the present invention, the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 are respectively provided with fixing members on their mating surfaces. The fixing members include: a first fixing member and a second fixing member, wherein the first fixing member is disposed on the first screen 13 and the second fixing member is disposed on the second screen 14, and the first fixing member is adapted to cooperate with the second fixing member to connect and fix the first screen 13 and the second screen 14.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first seat 11 is provided with a first pivot axis 114, and a first screen 13 is pivotally connected to the end of the first pivot axis 114; a second seat 12 is provided with a second pivot axis 121, and a second screen 14 is pivotally connected to the end of the second pivot axis 121. The first screen 13 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the first pivot axis 114, and the second screen 14 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the second pivot axis 121. Specifically, when passengers need to use the large screen, the first screen 13 can be rotated clockwise and the second screen 14 can be rotated counterclockwise to bring the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 closer together and fit together. After fitting together, the first fixing member and the second fixing member can be connected to fix the first screen 13 and the second screen 14. When passengers do not need to use the large screen, the first fixing member and the second fixing member can be disconnected first, and then the first screen 13 can be rotated counterclockwise and the second screen 14 can be rotated clockwise to separate the first screen 13 and the second screen 14.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first pivot axis 114 is parallel to the second pivot axis 121. The first screen 13 rotates clockwise by a first angle, and the second screen 14 rotates counterclockwise by a second angle, the first angle and the second angle being the same. The first pivot axis 114 and the second pivot axis 121 are at the same position in the height direction. By setting the first pivot axis 114 and the second pivot axis 121 parallel, the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 can remain parallel in the extension direction of the first pivot axis 114, ensuring that the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 can be on the same plane when combined. Furthermore, since the first pivot axis 114 and the second pivot axis 121 are at the same position in the height direction, the first pivot axis 114 and the second pivot axis 121 can ensure that the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 are at the same height, thereby improving the alignment of the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 at their contact point in the combined state, ensuring the smoothness of the screen display. Furthermore, the first angle of clockwise rotation of the first screen 13 is the same as the second angle of counterclockwise rotation of the second screen 14, which makes the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 have the same posture in space, that is, they are mirror images of each other, thus improving the smoothness of the combination of the first screen 13 and the second screen 14.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first connecting shaft 115 is provided on the first seat 11, and the end of the first screen 13 is selectively connected to the first connecting shaft 115; a second connecting shaft 122 is provided on the second seat 12, and the end of the second screen 14 is selectively connected to the second connecting shaft 122. The first screen 13 is fixed to the first seat 11 via the first connecting shaft 115 and the first pivot shaft 114, and the second screen 14 is fixed to the second seat 12 via the second connecting shaft 122 and the second pivot shaft 121. When the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 need to be rotated together, the first connecting shaft 115 can be disconnected from the first screen 13, and the second connecting shaft 122 can be disconnected from the second screen 14, increasing the degrees of freedom of the first screen 13 and the second screen 14, allowing the first screen 13 to rotate around the first pivot shaft 114 and the second screen 14 to rotate around the second pivot shaft 121.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first magnetic adsorption member is formed on the end of the first connecting shaft 115, and a second magnetic adsorption member suitable for connection with the first magnetic adsorption member is provided on the first screen 13; a third magnetic adsorption member is formed on the end of the second connecting shaft 122, and a fourth magnetic adsorption member suitable for connection with the third magnetic adsorption member is provided on the second screen 14. The second magnetic member is located on the back side of the first screen 13, and the fourth magnetic member is located on the back side of the second screen 14. By configuring the connection between the first connecting shaft 115 and the first screen 13 as magnetic adsorption members adsorbing each other, it is convenient to quickly disconnect the first connecting shaft 115 and the first screen 13 when the first screen 13 needs to be rotated, thus improving the combination efficiency between the first screen 13 and the second screen 14. Similarly, by configuring the connection between the second connecting shaft 122 and the second screen 14 as magnetic adsorption members adsorbing each other, it is convenient to quickly disconnect the second connecting shaft 122 and the second screen 14 when the second screen 14 needs to be rotated, thus improving the combination efficiency between the first screen 13 and the second screen 14.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first snap-fit ​​member is formed on the end of the first connecting shaft 115, and a second snap-fit ​​member adapted to be snap-fitted to the first snap-fit ​​member is provided on the first screen 13; a third snap-fit ​​member is formed on the end of the second connecting shaft 122, and a fourth snap-fit ​​member adapted to be snap-fitted to the third snap-fit ​​member is provided on the second screen 14. The second snap-fit ​​member is located on the back of the first screen 13, and the fourth snap-fit ​​member is located on the back of the second screen 14. The snap-fit ​​connection between the first and second snap-fit ​​members further improves the connection stability between the first screen 13 and the first seat 11. The snap-fit ​​connection between the third and fourth snap-fit ​​members further improves the connection stability between the second screen 14 and the second seat 12.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, both the first seat 11 and the second seat 12 include: a seat body 111, a headrest 112, and a screen bracket 113. The headrest 112 is disposed on the seat body 111; the screen bracket 113 is disposed between the headrest 112 and the seat body 111. A gap is provided between the headrest 112 and the seat body 111, which can accommodate the screen bracket 113. The screen bracket 113 on the first seat 11 is provided with a first pivot shaft 114 and a first connecting shaft 115, which connect to the first screen 13, thus fixing the first screen 13 to the screen bracket 113. The screen bracket 113 on the second seat 12 is provided with a second pivot shaft 121 and a second connecting shaft 122, which connect to the second screen 14, thus fixing the second screen 14 to the screen bracket 113. By placing the screen bracket 113 between the headrest 112 and the seat body 111, the height of the first screen 13 and the second screen 14 in the height direction can be guaranteed, making it convenient for passengers to view and improving the passenger's user experience.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, a guide shaft 15 is provided between the headrest 112 and the seat body 111, and a screen bracket 113 is movably disposed on the guide shaft 15. The guide shaft 15 can be configured as two, and the screen bracket 113 is provided with through holes suitable for cooperating with the guide shaft 15, with the number of through holes being the same as the number of guide shafts 15. By movably disposing the screen bracket 113 on the guide shaft 15, passengers can easily adjust the height of the screen according to their needs, improving the passenger's user experience.
