Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile interior decoration, and in particular to a small table mechanism, a secondary instrument panel assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Many vehicles currently feature retractable tables in the seat armrests or center consoles, primarily for temporary storage of food, electronic entertainment devices, and office work. In other situations, when the table is no longer needed, it can be retracted and hidden to avoid taking up space and causing inconvenience.

[0003] Currently, the table tops in the mainstream mainboard structure in cars are mainly composed of a complete table top or two table tops connected by butterfly pins. Such table tops take up too much space when folded, so the common models with retractable small table tops in the market are almost all MPVs or large SUVs. In addition, the models with retractable table tops on the center console in the automotive market all sacrifice storage boxes or reduce the size of the storage boxes as a cost.

[0004] Chinese patent: CN108621967A, which discloses a car auxiliary instrument panel with a table top and a slide rail system, which is used to set a foldable table top in the car auxiliary instrument panel and add a slide rail system that can move the auxiliary instrument panel forward and backward. The table top rotation support mechanism includes: a hinge seat, a rotating arm, a table top support plate, and an oblique support rod. The hinge seat is installed inside the armrest box, one end of the rotating arm is hinged to the hinge shaft of the hinge seat, the other end of the rotating arm is hinged to the table top support plate, and one end of the oblique support rod is hinged to the rotating arm. The other end of the oblique support rod is slidably connected in the sliding groove of the table board support plate, wherein the table board body includes: a main table board and a secondary table board, and the main table board and the secondary table board are flipped and overlapped by a hinge shaft; wherein the table board horizontal rotation mechanism includes: an upper rotating block and a limiting rod installed at the bottom of the main table board, a lower rotating block and a limiting arc groove installed on the table board support plate, the upper rotating block and the lower rotating block are rotatably connected by a bearing, and the limiting rod is set in the limiting arc groove, which is used to limit the rotation angle of the main table board on the seat board support plate.

[0005] Chinese patent: CN214775524U, which discloses a new folding table for automobile interior to expand the function of the center console armrest. The new folding table includes a support assembly component, a transfer support component, a transfer support component and an extension support component. The support assembly component is installed on the center console armrest. The transfer support component is installed on the support assembly component through a movable connection structure and can be adjusted in position on the support assembly component. The transfer support component has a storage space and is installed on the transfer support component through a folding structure. It can be folded and unfolded on the transfer support component. The extension support component is installed on the transfer support component and can be folded and unfolded on the transfer support component.

[0006] Both patents provide for a small in-car table with a flip-up design. The table is typically composed of a single, full-length table or two folding tables with a mechanism. This hidden table requires significant space, completely encroaching on the storage space within the center console, sacrificing storage functionality and hindering the placement of other functional components, such as cup holders and wireless charging modules. Once unfolded, the table can only be used in a fixed position, with no adjustable position for passengers to choose from. Summary of the Invention

[0059] like Figure 1-11 As shown, an embodiment of the present application discloses a small table top mechanism, including a table top assembly 1, a table top base assembly 2 and a slide rail assembly 3. The table top assembly 1 is rotatably assembled on the table top base assembly 2, and is used to enable the table top assembly 1 to rotate on the table top base assembly 2, so that the table top assembly 1 can be unfolded and used. The table top base assembly 2 is slidably assembled on the slide rail assembly 3, and is used to drive the table top assembly 1 to move on the slide rail assembly 3, and can fix the position of the table top assembly 1 adjusted during use. The table top assembly 1 and the table top base assembly 2 can be retracted and hidden on the slide rail assembly 3, and are used to reduce the space occupied by the table top assembly 1 when folded, and to maximize the compression of the space after the table top is folded.

[0060] Through the mutual cooperation of the table top assembly 1, the table top base assembly 2 and the slide rail assembly 3, on the one hand, the table top assembly 1 can form a table top surface when in use, so that the table top can be used normally, and the position of the table top surface can be adjusted to facilitate use by different passengers, which is beneficial to improving the passenger's user experience; on the other hand, when not in use, the table top assembly 1 can be stored in the slide rail assembly 3 together with the table top base assembly 2, maximizing the compression of the space after the table top is folded, reducing the occupied space, facilitating the arrangement of other functional parts, and improving practicality.

[0061] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the tabletop assembly 1 includes a rolling shutter plate 11, a rotating shaft bushing assembly 13, a rolling shutter plate connecting rope 12, and a tabletop support rod 14. The rolling shutter plate connecting rope 12 is provided on the rolling shutter plate 11 and is used to connect and shape the rolling shutter plate 11, facilitating the folding or unfolding of the rolling shutter plate 11. The rolling shutter plate 11 is rotatably assembled to the tabletop support rod 14 via the rotating shaft bushing assembly 13, allowing the rolling shutter plate 11 to rotate relative to the tabletop support rod 14. The tabletop support rod 14 is rotatably assembled to the tabletop base assembly 2, allowing the rolling shutter plate 11 to be unfolded as the tabletop surface.

[0062] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the rolling shutter plate 11 includes several rolling shutter plate bodies. The rolling shutter plate bodies have the same structure and can be cylindrical strips or polygonal strips such as quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons. In other words, the shape, number, length, and width of the rolling shutter plate bodies can be selected according to actual needs.

[0063] In this embodiment, the roller shutter connecting rope 12 can be a steel rope or other similar rope. The connecting rope 12 is used to interconnect the roller shutter bodies, allowing them to be deployed or retracted. During retraction, the roller shutter bodies will not automatically disperse without external force and can be wrapped around the table support rod 14. In this embodiment, to ensure the connection strength of the roller shutter bodies, the number of connecting ropes 12 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, when the small table needs to be used, the folded rolling shutter 11 is opened and the unfolded rolling shutter 11 is rotated so that the rolling shutter 11 and the table support rod 14 are at 90 degrees to form a table surface. In this state, the force strength of the table surface is the greatest.

[0065] In some other optional embodiments, when a small table is needed, the angle between the table surface after the rolling shutter board 11 is unfolded and the table support rod 14 can be adjusted according to the actual preferences of different passengers.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, one end of the table support rod 14 is provided with a rotating portion 141, which is rotatably mounted on the table base assembly 2. This allows the table support rod 14 and the rolling shutter plate 11 to rotate relative to the table base assembly 2, thereby forming a usable table top with an adjustable position. A fixing slot 142 is defined in the middle of the table support rod 14. The shaft bushing assembly 13 extends through the rolling shutter plate 11 and is fixedly mounted in the fixing slot 142 to secure the shaft bushing assembly 13 in place.

[0067] In this embodiment, the rotating part 141 is configured as a rotating block, which is fixedly welded to one end of the table support rod 14, and avoidance grooves are formed on both sides of the rotating block to facilitate the rotating installation of the rotating block and the table base assembly 2.

[0068] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the shaft bushing assembly 13 includes a fastener 133, a bushing 132, and a bushing ring 131. The bushing ring 131 is assembled on the shutter plate 11, and the bushing 132 is assembled on the bushing ring 131. The fastener 133 passes through the bushing 132, the bushing ring 131, and the shutter plate 11, and is fixedly connected to the table support rod 14, so that the shutter plate 11 can rotate relative to the bushing 132, and thus can rotate relative to the table support rod 14.

[0069] In this embodiment, the fastener 133 can be set as a long bolt or a long screw, etc. When the long bolt is inserted into the fixing groove 142, the relative position of the long bolt and the table support rod 14 is fixed by the nut, so that the bushing 132 is fixedly assembled in the bushing ring 131, and then the position of the rolling shutter plate 11 and the bushing 132 can be rotated relative to each other, making the method of rotating the rolling shutter plate 11 more convenient.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, in order to reduce damage to the rolling shutter plate 11 during rotation, the bushing 132 can be made of modified PP material or ABS plastic material, and the rolling shutter plate 11 should be polished and rounded at the perforation position.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the table top base assembly 2 includes a fixed seat 21, a connecting portion 22 and a locking portion. The fixed seat 21 is fixedly assembled on the slide rail assembly 3, and is used to provide an installation environment for the connecting portion 22 and the locking portion, so that the table top base assembly 2 can move on the slide rail assembly 3, so that the table top assembly 1 can be folded or used. The connecting portion 22 is rotatably assembled on the fixed seat 21, and the table top assembly 1 is rotatably assembled on the connecting portion 22, so that the table top assembly 1 can drive the connecting portion 22 to rotate on the fixed seat 21, so that it can be adjusted to different table top positions, which is convenient for different passengers to use. The locking portion is assembled between the fixed seat 21 and the connecting portion 22, and is used to fix the adjusted position of the table top assembly 1, providing passengers with a better experience when using the table top.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the fixing base 21 includes a fixing base body 211 and two connecting plates 212. The two connecting plates 212 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing base body 211, and the fixing base 21 is connected to the slide rail assembly 3 through the two connecting plates 212. The fixing base body 211 has a first through-slot 213 and a second through-slot 214 for assembling the connecting portion 22 and the locking portion.

[0073] In this embodiment, the fixing seat body 211 is fixedly welded to the two connecting plates 212 , and the two connecting plates 212 are fixedly mounted on the slide rail assembly 3 by fixing bolts.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting portion 22 includes a base rotating block 221, a rotating shaft 222 and a rotating lock pin 223. The rotating shaft 222 is fixedly connected to the base rotating block 221, and the rotating shaft 222 rotates to pass through the first through slot 213 on the fixed seat 21, so that the base rotating block 221 can rotate on the fixed seat body 211. The rotating lock pin 223 is connected to one end of the base rotating block 221, and is used to provide an installation environment for the table top support rod 14. A limiting groove 224 is provided on the base rotating block 221, which is used to limit the position of the table top support rod 14. When the table top support rod 14 and the table top surface need to be adjusted, it can drive the base rotating block 221 to rotate on the fixed seat body 211.

[0075] In this embodiment, the rotating lock pin 223 includes a mounting seat and a locking pin. The mounting seat is fixedly mounted on one side of the base rotating block 221 by bolts or welding. The locking pin is fixedly mounted on the mounting seat. The rotating part 141 is mounted on the locking pin, so that the table support rod 14 can rotate relative to the base rotating block 221.

[0076] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 222 is fixedly welded to the bottom of the base rotating block 221 and extends through the first through slot 213. To prevent the rotating shaft 222 from detaching from the fixed seat body 211, an anti-detachment groove 2221 is formed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 222, and an anti-detachment member 23 is assembled in the anti-detachment groove 2221.

[0077] In this embodiment, the anti-slip part 23 can be an anti-slip bolt or a locking pin. The installation of the anti-slip bolt or the locking pin is simple and convenient, and the rotating shaft 222 will not separate from the fixing seat 21, so that the table top assembly 1 will not separate from the table top base assembly 2.

[0078] In an exemplary embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the locking portion includes a bolt 25, an elastic member 26, and a locking end 27. One end of the elastic member 26 is connected to the bolt 25, and the other end is connected to the locking end 27, allowing the position of the locking end 27 to be relatively variable. A locking groove 24 is defined in the connecting portion 22, and the locking end 27 fits in the locking groove 24. This engagement of the locking end 27 with the locking groove 24 relatively secures the position of the base rotating block 221.

[0079] In this embodiment, the bolt 25 is configured as a spring bolt, and the elastic member 26 is configured as a locking spring. One end of the locking spring is fixedly welded to the spring bolt 25, and the other end is fixedly welded to the locking end 27. The spring bolt is fixedly assembled at the bottom of the second through groove 214, so that the locking spring and the locking end 27 pass through the second through groove 214, and the locking end 27 can be connected to the locking groove 24, thereby relatively fixing the position of the base rotating block 221 and the fixed seat body 211.

[0080] In this embodiment, the locking end 27 can be configured as a ball or a locking block, and the top end of the locking block is cylindrical, so that the locking end 27 can enter the locking groove 24 more easily.

[0081] In this embodiment, there are multiple locking grooves 24, and the multiple locking grooves 24 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the base rotating block 221, so that the base rotating block 221 can be fixed after rotating to any angle, so that the table top can be rotated to different angles, which is beneficial to improving the passenger experience.

[0082] In one exemplary embodiment, three locking slots 24 are provided, equidistantly distributed on the bottom of the base rotating block 221. This allows the tabletop support rods 14 and the rolling shutter plate 11 to drive the base rotating block 221 to rotate 90 degrees left or right relative to the fixed base body 211 to accommodate occupants in different positions. Furthermore, locking slots 24 can be provided at any angle on the bottom of the base rotating block 221 as needed, allowing the tabletop surface formed by the rolling shutter plate 11 to be positioned anywhere within a 360-degree plane.

[0083] In this embodiment, if Figure 5-11 As shown, when the small table needs to be used, the power source in the car is used to move the fixing seat 21 on the slide rail assembly 3, and the movement of the fixing seat 21 drives the connecting part 22, the locking part and the table board assembly 1 to move. When the fixing seat 21 moves to the end of the slide rail assembly 3, the table board assembly 1 is moved to the position where it needs to be used, and the table board support rod 14 is rotated on the rotating lock pin 223, so that the table board support rod 14 is stuck in the limit groove 224, the rolling shutter plate 11 is opened, and then the unfolded rolling shutter plate 11 is rotated 90 degrees with the bushing 132 as the axis, so that the table board surface formed by the unfolded rolling shutter plate 11 is 90 degrees to the table board support rod 14, that is, at this time the table board surface can withstand the maximum pressure in the positive direction.

[0084] When other passengers need to use the table top, they squeeze the base rotating block 221 downward so that the locking end 27 is subjected to a downward force, and then rotate the table top support rod 14. When it is rotated to the appropriate position, in this process, the locking end 27 is under the action of the base rotating block 221, and the locking end 27 and the locking spring move into the second through groove 214. When the table top support rod 14 no longer rotates, there is a locking groove 24 corresponding to the locking end 27. Under the action of the locking spring, the locking end 27 is stuck in the locking groove 24 to fix the rotation position, so that the position of the table top surface can be adjusted according to different needs to increase its applicability and enhance the passenger experience.

[0085] In some other embodiments, to increase the height of the tabletop formed by the rolling shutter plate 11, the mounting base 21 can be designed with multiple sections. The extension of the multi-section mounting base 21 can be controlled by the vehicle's seat motor, thereby adjusting the height of the tabletop to meet the needs of different passengers. In this embodiment, the multi-section mounting base and the seat motor-controlled extension of the multi-section mounting base are prior art and will not be further described.

[0086] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the slide rail assembly 3 includes two slide rail trough shells 31, a guide rod 32, a slider 33 and a stop block. The two slide rail trough shells 31 are symmetrically arranged so that a storage space can be formed between the two slide rail trough shells 31. The guide rod 32 is fixedly arranged on the slide rail trough shell 31 to play a guiding role. The slider 33 is slidably arranged on the guide rod 32, and the table base assembly 2 is assembled on the slider 33, so that the movement of the slider 33 can drive the table base assembly 2 to move stably, thereby driving the table assembly 1 to move on the guide rod 32. The stop block is fixedly connected to the guide rod 32 to limit the maximum movement range of the slider 33 on the guide rod 32.

[0087] In an exemplary embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 7-8 As shown, the two slide rail trough shells 31 have the same structure and are both "concave". One of the slide rail trough shells 31 is used as an example for explanation: the bottom of the slide rail trough shell 31 has multiple fixing holes, which are used to fix the position of the slide rail trough shell 31 by passing fixing bolts. The initial position of the slide rail trough shell 31 after being fixed is vertical. On the one hand, it is convenient for the use of the table board assembly 1 after it is slid out; on the other hand, the vertical slide rail trough shell 31 can reduce the occupied space. When the table board assembly 1 and the table board base assembly 2 are stored between the two vertical slide rail trough shells 31, the occupied space of the table board after folding is compressed to the greatest extent, so that the overall layout space requirement of the small table board mechanism is low, the practicality is stronger, and it is more conducive to the arrangement of other functional parts, such as cup holders and wireless charging modules, thereby improving space utilization.

[0088] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the stop blocks include a first stop block 34 and a second stop block 35, each of which is mounted on each slide rail housing 31. The first stop block 34 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the guide rod 32, and the second stop block 35 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the guide rod 32, to limit the maximum travel distance of the slider 33 on the guide rod 32 to prevent it from slipping.

[0089] It can be understood that the bottom of the first stop block 34 and the second stop block 35 are installed on the inner bottom of the slide rail groove shell 31 by welding or bolting, and the guide rod 32 is passed through the upper part of the first stop block 34 and the second stop block 35, and the guide rod 32 is fixed to the upper part of the first stop block 34 and the second stop block 35 by bolts.

[0090] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 8 When the cam 33 is in the unlock position, the cam 33 is locked and the locking cam 332 is unlocked, so that the cam 33 is locked.

[0091] like Figure 12 As shown, an embodiment of the present application further discloses a secondary instrument panel assembly, including a secondary instrument panel and the small table mechanism in the above embodiment.

[0092] In this embodiment, a power source is installed in the sub-instrument panel, and the output end of the power source is fixedly connected to the small table plate mechanism. The slide rail assembly 3 is vertically arranged in the sub-instrument panel. When the power source is working, it drives the table plate assembly 1 in the small table plate mechanism to extend out of the sub-instrument panel, so that the table plate assembly 1 can work. When the table plate assembly 1 in the small table plate mechanism is driven to retract in the sub-instrument panel, the space occupied by the sub-instrument panel can be reduced.

[0093] In this embodiment, the power source may be an electric telescopic rod or an electric support rod, and a suitable power source may be selected according to actual needs.

[0094] By adopting the above-mentioned small table mechanism in the auxiliary instrument panel, the space occupied by the table panel on the auxiliary instrument panel after being folded can be minimized to the greatest extent, which facilitates the arrangement of other functional parts.

[0095] An embodiment of the present application further discloses a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body and the auxiliary instrument panel assembly in the above embodiment.

[0096] By adopting the auxiliary instrument panel assembly in the above embodiment in the vehicle, it is helpful to improve the passenger's experience of using the table board in the vehicle.
