Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle interior technology, and in particular to a cover assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] To meet the functional needs of drivers and passengers inside the vehicle, automotive interiors include corresponding functional components, such as holographic projection and head-up display (HUD) systems. To prevent these components from accumulating dust and dirt due to prolonged exposure, a cover assembly is provided in the related technology. This cover assembly includes a cover for shielding the functional components. When the functional component needs to be used, the cover is opened outwards; when the component is not in use, the cover is closed to prevent dust accumulation.

[0003] However, the cover plate assembly in the relevant technology requires the cover plate to be flipped outwards to open. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cover assembly and vehicle that can be opened without flipping the cover plate, addressing the issue that cover assemblies in related technologies require an outward-flipping cover plate to open.

[0005] According to one aspect of this application, a cover plate assembly is provided, comprising:

[0006] The main body is provided with a cover plate hole;

[0008] A cover plate is disposed between the body and the functional component; and

[0009] A power assembly connected to the cover plate, the power assembly being configured to drive the cover plate to move relative to the body in a first direction, such that the cover plate is positioned between the cover plate hole and the functional component, or that the cover plate is moved away from the cover plate hole;

[0010] The first direction is set at an angle to the direction in which the body points to the functional component.

[0011] The aforementioned cover assembly, by placing the cover between the main body and the functional components, and by connecting the power component to the cover to drive the cover to move, allows the cover to be hidden inside the main body when it is moved away from the cover hole, thus eliminating the need to flip the cover outward to open it. Therefore, the aesthetics of the vehicle interior are not affected when the cover is open.

[0021] The cover plate assembly has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the limiting component is configured to allow the cover plate to rotate relative to the body about the axis of the guide wheel and to prevent the cover plate from moving relative to the body in the first direction. In the second state, the limiting component is configured to allow the cover plate to move relative to the body in the first direction and to prevent the cover plate from rotating relative to the body about the axis of the guide wheel.

[0022] In one embodiment, along the direction from the body to the functional component, the movable component is located on the side of the cover plate away from the body. The movable component is provided with a first limiting part and a second limiting part. Along the direction from the body to the functional component, the second limiting part is located between the cover plate and the first limiting part. Along the first direction, a rotation space is defined between the side of the first limiting part away from the first end of the cover plate and the side of the second limiting part away from the first end of the cover plate.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0065] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0066] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0070] Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the cover plate assembly in one embodiment of this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A top view of the cover plate assembly in a first position in the illustrated embodiment; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A sectional view (AA) of the cover plate assembly in the illustrated embodiment;

[0071] Figure 4for Figure 1 Top view of the cover plate assembly in the second position in the illustrated embodiment; Figure 5 for Figure 4 BB cross-sectional view of the cover plate assembly in the illustrated embodiment.

[0072] See Figure 1 The cover plate assembly 100 provided in one embodiment of this application includes a body 10, a functional component 20, a cover plate 30, and a power assembly 40.

[0073] The main body 10 has a cover plate hole 11. A functional component 20 is located on one side of the main body 10 and opposite to the cover plate hole 11. A cover plate 30 is located between the main body 10 and the functional component 20. A power assembly 40 is connected to the cover plate 30 and is configured to drive the cover plate 30 to move relative to the main body 10 along a first direction X, so that the cover plate 30 is positioned between the cover plate hole 11 and the functional component 20 (see [reference]). Figure 2-3 ), or remove the cover plate 30 from the cover plate hole 11 (see Figure 4-5 The first direction X is set at an angle to the direction in which the main body 10 points to the functional component 20.

[0074] The aforementioned cover plate assembly 100, by providing a cover plate hole 11 on the main body 10 and providing a functional component 20 located on one side of the main body 10 and opposite to the cover plate hole 11, allows the functional component 20 to be exposed from the main body 10 through the cover plate hole 11 when it is needed. By providing a cover plate 30 between the main body 10 and the cover plate 30, the cover plate 30 is positioned between the cover plate hole 11 and the functional component 20, thus shielding the side of the functional component 20 facing the main body 10 and reducing dust falling onto the functional component 20 from the cover plate hole 11. Furthermore, since the power assembly 40 is connected to the cover plate 30 to drive the cover plate 30 to move relative to the body 10 in the first direction X, the cover plate 30 can be moved away from the cover plate hole 11, that is, the cover plate 30 is opened to allow the use of the functional component 20. Moreover, the cover plate 30 is hidden inside the body 10 when it is opened, without the need to flip the cover plate 30 outward. Therefore, the aesthetics of the vehicle interior are not affected when the cover plate 30 is opened.

[0075] It should be noted that the functional component 20 can be configured according to usage requirements. For example, the functional component 20 can be a holographic projection or head-up display system, etc., and the type of functional component 20 is not limited here.

[0076] Specifically, the cover plate assembly 100 has a first position and a second position, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, in the second position, the cover plate 30 is removed from the cover plate hole 11, as... Figure 2-3 As shown, after the cover plate 30 moves from the second position along the first direction X toward the side closer to the functional member 20, it is located in the first position. In the first position, the cover plate 30 is positioned between the cover plate hole 11 and the functional member 20.

[0077] Optionally, the functional component 20 has a screen on the side closest to the body 10. When the cover assembly 100 is in the second position, the screen of the functional component 20 is exposed through the cover hole 11.

[0078] Figure 6 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the body in the embodiment shown; Figure 7 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the guide rail structure in the illustrated embodiment.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6-7 As shown, the cover plate assembly 100 also includes a guide rail 50 disposed on the side of the body 10 near the functional member 20, the guide rail 50 extending along a first direction X. A first end 30a of the cover plate 30 along the first direction X is connected to the guide rail 50 and is movable relative to the guide rail 50 along the first direction X. Thus, by providing the guide rail 50, a guiding function is provided for the cover plate 30 when it moves relative to the body 10 along the first direction X, thereby improving the movement stability of the cover plate 30.

[0080] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the main body 10 has a guide rail fixing structure 12 on the side near the functional component 20, and the guide rail 50 is connected to the main body 10 by means of the guide rail fixing structure 12.

[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 6-7 As shown, the guide rail fixing structure 12 is provided with a plurality of first guide rail mounting holes 121, and the guide rail 50 is provided with second guide rail mounting holes 51 corresponding to the first guide rail mounting holes 121. By inserting fasteners into the first guide rail mounting holes 121 and the corresponding second guide rail mounting holes 51, the guide rail 50 is fixed relative to the guide rail fixing structure 12.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, there are two guide rails 50, and the two guide rails 50 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the cover plate 30 along the second direction Y. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X and the direction in which the body 10 points to the guide member.

[0083] Specifically, there are two guide rail fixing structures 12, which correspond to two guide rails 50 respectively. Each guide rail 50 is connected to the cover plate 30 by means of a corresponding guide rail 50 fixing mechanism.

[0084] Figure 8 for Figure 1 Top view of the cover assembly in the closed position in the illustrated embodiment; Figure 9 for Figure 8 CC cross-sectional view of the cover plate assembly in the illustrated embodiment.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cover plate assembly 100 also includes a guide wheel 60 disposed at the first end 30a of the cover plate 30, the guide wheel 60 being rotatably connected to the guide rail 50. The cover plate 30 is connected to the guide rail 50 by means of the guide wheel 60, and the cover plate 30 is rotatable relative to the body 10 about the axis of the guide wheel 60, so that the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 opposite to the first end 30a along the first direction X can be connected to or separated from the body 10 (see...). Figure 8-9 and Figure 2-3 The axis of the guide wheel 60 is perpendicular to both the first direction X and the direction in which the body 10 points towards the functional component 20. Thus, by providing the guide wheel 60, the cover plate 30 is rolled and connected to the guide rail 50, thereby reducing friction. Furthermore, the cover plate 30 can rotate relative to the body 10 around the axis of the guide wheel 60, allowing the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 to connect or separate from the body 10. Therefore, when the cover plate 30 needs to be closed, connecting the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 to the body 10 further reduces dust falling into the cover hole 11. When the cover plate 30 needs to be opened, the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 can be separated from the body 10 by first rotating the cover plate 30, and then the power assembly 40 drives the cover plate 30 to move relative to the body 10 along the first direction X, thereby reducing the influence of the body 10 on the movement of the cover plate 30.

[0086] It should be noted that, as Figure 8-9 As shown, the cover plate assembly 100 also has a closed position, in which the first end 30a and the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 along the first direction X are respectively connected to the body 10. Since the cover plate 30 can rotate relative to the body 10 about the axis of the guide wheel 60, the cover plate 30 can switch between the closed position and the first position.

[0087] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the guide rail 50 is provided with a groove 52 for the guide wheel 60 to roll and connect, and the groove 52 extends along the first direction X.

[0088] In one embodiment, there are two guide rails 50, and the grooves 52 of the two guide rails 50 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction Y.

[0089] Figure 10 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the cover plate in the illustrated embodiment.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the cover plate 30 is provided with a guide wheel mounting hole 32, and the cover plate assembly 100 also includes a guide wheel mounting shaft. One end of the guide wheel mounting shaft passes through the guide wheel 60, and the other end of the guide wheel mounting shaft passes through the guide wheel mounting hole 32.

[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the cover plate 30 is provided with a protrusion 31 for fitting into the cover plate hole 11, and the protrusion 31 is configured to fit into the cover plate hole 11. In this way, when the cover plate assembly 100 is in the closed position, the cover plate 30 can engage with the cover plate hole 11, thereby further reducing dust falling onto the functional component 20 through the cover plate hole 11, and further improving the aesthetics of the vehicle interior when the cover plate 30 is closed.

[0092] Optionally, the protrusions 31 of the cover plate 30 are made of the same material as the body 10 to achieve a consistent appearance of the cover plate assembly 100 when the cover plate 30 is closed.

[0093] Figure 11 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the power assembly in the illustrated embodiment.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 11 As shown, the power assembly 40 includes a movable member 41 connected to the second end 30b of the cover plate 30, and a power member 42 connected to the movable member 41. The power member 42 is configured to drive the movable member 41 to move relative to the body 10 along a first direction X, so as to rotate the cover plate 30 relative to the body 10 about the axis of the guide wheel 60 by means of the movable member 41, or to move the cover plate 30 relative to the body 10 along the first direction X by means of the movable member 41. In this way, the movable member 41, driven by the power member 42, causes the cover plate 30 to switch between a closed position and a first position, or to switch the cover plate 30 between a first position and a second position.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 11 As shown, the power assembly 40 also includes a lead screw 44. One end of the lead screw 44 is connected to the body 10 and located on the side of the functional member 20 near the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 along the first direction X. The other end of the lead screw 44 extends away from the functional member 20 along the first direction X. The moving member 41 is sleeved on the lead screw 44 and threadedly connected to the lead screw 44. The power assembly 42 includes a motor 421. The output end of the motor 421 is connected to the end of the lead screw 44 away from the functional member 20. The motor 421 is configured to drive the lead screw 44 to rotate about the axis of the lead screw 44, thereby driving the moving member 41 to move relative to the lead screw 44 along the first direction X. Thus, through the transmission connection between the lead screw 44 and the moving member 41, when the motor 421 drives the lead screw 44 to rotate, the moving member 41 moves along the lead screw 44, thereby realizing the movement of the moving member 41 relative to the body 10 along the first direction X.

[0096] In some embodiments, the cover assembly 100 further includes a control module (not shown) communicatively connected to the motor 421. The control module controls the output of the motor 421. Thus, the control module can control the motor 421 to drive the moving member 41 to move along the first direction X, thereby controlling the rotation and movement of the cover 30, causing the cover 30 to move between a closed position and a second position, thereby realizing the closing and opening of the cover 30, allowing the cover 30 to hide the functional member 20 or expose the functional member 20.

[0097] Alternatively, the control module can be implemented using an external application.

[0098] Figure 12 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the cover plate assembly in the illustrated embodiment from another perspective; Figure 13 for Figure 12 A magnified view of a portion at point D in the illustrated embodiment.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12-13 As shown, the cover assembly 100 also includes a limiting component 70 connected to the second end 30b of the cover 30 and the moving member 41, respectively. The cover assembly 100 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the limiting component 70 is configured to allow the cover 30 to rotate relative to the body 10 about the axis of the guide wheel 60 and to prevent the cover 30 from moving relative to the body 10 along the first direction X. In the second state, the limiting component 70 is configured to allow the cover 30 to move relative to the body 10 along the first direction X and to prevent the cover 30 from rotating relative to the body 10 about the axis of the guide wheel 60. Thus, by providing the limiting component 70, the cover assembly 100 is limited in both the first and second states during the movement of the moving member 41 relative to the body 10 along the first direction X. Therefore, when the movable component 41 moves along the first direction X from one side closer to the functional component 20 to the other, the cover plate 30 is in the first state and the second state in sequence. This allows the cover plate 30 to first rotate relative to the body 10 around the axis of the guide wheel 60, separating the second side of the cover plate 30 from the body 10. Then, the cover plate 30 moves relative to the body 10 along the first direction X, exposing the functional component 20, thus avoiding the influence of the body 10 on the movement of the cover plate 30. Furthermore, when the movable component 41 moves along the first direction X from one side away from the functional component 20 to the other, the cover plate 30 is in the second state and the first state in sequence. This allows the cover plate 30 to first move relative to the body 10 along the first direction X to a position opposite to the functional component 20. Then, the cover plate 30 rotates relative to the body 10 around the axis of the guide wheel 60, connecting the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 to the body 10, further reducing dust accumulation and improving the aesthetics of the interior.

[0101] Figure 21 for Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment shows a schematic diagram of the cover plate, functional components, limiting components, and power components in the first position.

[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, along the direction from the body 10 to the functional component 20, the movable component 41 is located on the side of the cover plate 30 away from the body 10, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the movable member 41 is provided with a first limiting part 411 and a second limiting part 412 respectively. Along the direction from the body 10 to the functional member 20, the second limiting part 412 is located between the cover plate 30 and the first limiting part 411. Along the first direction X, the rotation space 41a is defined between the side of the first limiting part 411 away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30 and the side of the second limiting part 412 away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30.

[0103] like Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the limiting assembly 70 includes an elastic member 71 and a limiting member 72. The two ends of the elastic member 71 are respectively connected to the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 and the moving member 41. The elastic member 71 is configured to allow the cover plate 30 to have a tendency to rotate about the axis of the guide wheel 60 toward the side away from the body 10. The two ends of the limiting member 72 are respectively rotatably connected to the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 and the moving member 41 about a rotation axis parallel to the axis of the guide wheel 60. The limiting member 72 is provided with a protrusion 721 that is limited to the rotation space 41a.

[0104] In the first state, the guide wheel 60 is configured to abut against one end of the guide rail 50 away from the second end 30b of the cover plate 30, and the protrusion 721 is configured to abut against one side of the first limiting part 411 away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30 along the first direction X, or located between the first limiting part 411 and the second limiting part 412. In the second state, the protrusion 721 is configured to abut against one side of the second limiting part 412 away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30 along the first direction X.

[0105] Thus, when the cover assembly 100 is in the closed position (see...) Figure 16-17 Under the pulling force of the elastic member 71 on the second end 30b of the cover plate 30, the cover plate 30 tends to rotate around the axis of the guide wheel 60 away from the body 10. At this time, the protrusion 721 abuts against the first limiting part 411 along the first direction X away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30, fixing the cover plate 30 relative to the body 10. When the power member 42 drives the moving member 41 to move along the first direction X away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30, under the pulling force of the elastic member 71, the cover plate 30 rotates around the axis of the guide wheel 60 away from the body 10 until the protrusion 721 abuts against the second limiting part 412 along the first direction X away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30, preventing the cover plate 30 from continuing to rotate around the axis of the guide wheel 60 away from the body 10. At this time, the cover plate assembly 100 is in the first position (see Figure 18-19 The second end 30b of the cover plate 30 is spaced apart from the body 10. When the power member 42 drives the moving member 41 to continue moving along the first direction X toward the side away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30, under the pulling force of the elastic member 71, the protrusion 721 remains in contact with the second limiting part 412, and the moving member 41 pulls the cover plate 30 to move along the first direction X until the second position (see...). Figure 20-21 At this time, the cover plate 30 is moved out from the cover plate hole 11, the cover plate 30 is opened, and the cover plate 30 is tilted relative to the body 10.

[0106] When the cover plate assembly 100 is in the second position, the moving member 41 is driven by the power member 42 to move along the first direction X toward the first side of the cover plate 30. Under the pulling force of the elastic member 71, the protrusion 721 abuts against the side of the second limiting member 412 away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30 along the first direction X, so that the limiting member 72 and the cover plate 30 are fixed relative to the moving member 41. Thus, under the push of the moving member 41, the cover plate 30 moves relative to the body 10 along the first direction X until the cover plate assembly 100 is in the first position. At this time, the guide wheel 60 abuts against the end of the guide rail 50 away from the second end 30b of the cover plate 30, that is, the first end 30a of the cover plate 30 can no longer move relative to the body 10. Therefore, as the moving member 41 continues to move towards the first side closer to the cover plate 30, the moving member 41 pushes the cover plate 30 to rotate around the axis of the guide wheel 60 towards the side closer to the body 10. At the same time, the limiting member 72 rotates relative to the cover plate 30 towards the side closer to the body 10 until the protrusion 721 abuts against the second limiting member 412, that is, the cover plate assembly 100 is in the closed position. At this time, the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 is connected to the body 10, hiding the functional member 20 inside the cover plate 30 and preventing dust. Furthermore, due to the interaction between the protrusion 721 and the second limiting member 412 and the tension of the spring, the protrusion 31 of the cover plate 30 in the closed position is firmly embedded in the cover plate hole 11.

[0107] It is understood that when the cover assembly 100 is in the closed position, and during the transition between the closed position and the first position, the cover assembly 100 is in a first state that allows the cover 30 to rotate relative to the body 10 about the axis of the guide. When the cover assembly 100 is in the first position, the second position, and during the transition between the first position and the second position, the cover assembly 100 is in a second state that allows the cover 30 to move relative to the body 10 along the first direction X.

[0108] Optionally, such as Figure 15 As shown, the side of the first limiting portion 411 away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30 is configured to be able to contact the surface of the protrusion 721, and the side of the second limiting portion 412 away from the first end 30a of the cover plate 30 is configured to be able to contact the surface of the protrusion 721.

[0109] Specifically, such as Figure 15 As shown, the first limiting part 411 on the side opposite to the rotation space 41a and the second limiting part 412 on the side opposite to the rotation space 41a extend toward each other until they are connected.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12-13As shown, the power assembly 40 also includes a slide rail 43. One end of the slide rail 43 is connected to the body 10 and located on the side of the functional member 20 along the first direction X near the second end 30b of the cover plate 30. The other end of the slide rail 43 extends along the first direction X away from the functional member 20. The moving member 41 is slidably connected to the slide rail 43 along the first direction X. Figure 16-17 As shown, when the guide wheel 60 abuts against the second end 30b of the guide rail 50 away from the cover plate 30, and the protrusion 721 abuts against the first end 30a of the first limiting part 411 away from the cover plate 30 along the first direction X, the moving member 41 is located at the end of the slide rail 43 connected to the functional member 20. Figure 20-21 As shown, when the guide wheel 60 abuts against the second end 30b of the guide rail 50 near the cover plate 30, the moving member 41 is located at the end of the slide rail 43 away from the functional member 20. Thus, when the moving member 41 is located at the end of the slide rail 43 connected to the functional member 20, the cover plate 30 is in the closed position, and the functional member 20 is hidden inside the cover plate 30. When the moving member 41 is located at the end of the slide rail 43 away from the functional member 20, the cover plate 30 is in the second position, at which time the cover plate 30 is moved away from the cover plate hole 11, and the functional member 20 is exposed from the cover plate hole 11.

[0111] Optionally, such as Figure 11 As shown, the power assembly 40 also includes a slider 45 that is slidably connected to the slide rail 43, and the moving member 41 is connected to the slide rail 43 by means of the slider 45.

[0112] Specifically, such as Figure 11 As shown, the movable member 41 includes a nut 414 fixing seat 413 connected to the slider 45, and a nut 414 connected to the nut 414 fixing seat 413. The nut 414 is sleeved on the lead screw 44 and threadedly connected to the lead screw 44. One end of the elastic member 71 is connected to the nut 414 fixing seat 413.

[0113] In one embodiment, such as Figure 14 As shown, the nut 414 fixing seat 413 is provided with a lead screw through hole 413a for the lead screw 44 to pass through, and a first elastic element mounting hole 413b for mounting one end of the elastic element 71. Figure 10 As shown, the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 is provided with a second elastic element mounting hole 33 for mounting the other end of the elastic element 71.

[0114] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11As shown, the power assembly 40 also includes a base 46. One end of the base 46 is connected to the body 10 and is located on the side of the functional member 20 near the second end 30b of the cover plate 30 along the first direction X. The other end of the base 46 extends away from the functional member 20 along the first direction X. A lead screw 44 and a slide rail 43 are disposed on the base 46, and the end of the lead screw 44 near the functional member 20 is connected to the body 10 via the base 46, and the end of the slide rail 43 near the functional member 20 is connected to the body 10 via the base 46. A motor 421 is disposed at the end of the base 46 away from the functional member 20.

[0115] Optionally, such as Figure 12 As shown, the end of the base 46 away from the functional component 20 is connected to the body 10.

[0116] Figure 22 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the functional component fixing seat in the embodiment shown.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 22 As shown, the cover plate assembly 100 also includes a functional component fixing seat 80 disposed between the functional component 20 and the cover plate 30. The functional component fixing seat 80 is connected to the body 10 and is spaced apart from the cover plate 30 along the direction from the body 10 toward the functional component 20. The functional component 20 is connected to the side of the functional component fixing seat 80 away from the cover plate 30. In this way, the functional component 20 is connected to the cover plate 30 by means of the functional component fixing seat 80, and since the functional component fixing seat 80 and the cover plate 30 are spaced apart from each other along the direction from the body 10 toward the functional component 20, space is provided for accommodating the cover plate 30, so as to avoid the functional component 20 from obstructing the rotation of the cover plate 30 relative to the body 10 about the axis of the guide wheel 60, and to avoid the functional component 20 from obstructing the movement of the cover plate 30 relative to the body 10 in the first direction X.

[0118] Specifically, such as Figure 22 As shown, the functional component mounting base 80 is provided with a functional component through hole 81 that extends through the functional component mounting base 80 in the direction of the body 10 pointing to the functional component 20, so that the screen of the functional component 20 can be exposed through the functional component through hole 81.

[0119] Optionally, such as Figure 22 As shown, the functional component mounting base 80 is provided with a mounting bracket for mounting on the main body 10. Figure 1 ) Functional component mounting hole 82.

[0120] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the end of the base 46 near the functional component 20 is connected to the main body 10 by means of the functional component fixing seat 80.

[0121] The cover plate assembly 100 provided in this application has a simple structure. The cover plate 30 is driven to move by the control motor 421 to realize the exposure and concealment of the functional component 20. When the cover plate 30 is opened, the functional component 20 is exposed from the cover plate hole 11. At this time, the cover plate 30 is hidden inside the body 10, which does not affect the aesthetics of the vehicle interior. When the cover plate 30 is closed, the functional component 20 is hidden. The protrusion 31 of the cover plate 30 matches the cover plate hole 11 and is made of the same material, thus achieving a consistent appearance.

[0123] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0124] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
