[0047] 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.

[0048] The driving mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the display component 10 may be a display screen or the like for displaying information. The information displayed by the display component 10 may be information displayed on the Internet, information displayed on a vehicle computer, or images captured by a camera on the vehicle body. That is, the display component 10 may be a display terminal or an electronic rearview mirror, etc.

[0049] like Figures 1-18 As shown, the driving mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed base 200, a sliding base 300, a driving assembly 400, a sliding member 500, and a connecting rod assembly 600.

[0050] The fixed seat 200 is adapted to be fixed to the vehicle body. The sliding seat 300 is movably disposed on the fixed seat 200 and is movable in a first direction. The drive assembly 400 cooperates with the sliding seat 300 to drive the sliding seat 300 to move in the first direction. The sliding member 500 is movably disposed on the sliding seat 300 and is movable in a second direction. The first direction and the second direction have an included angle. The sliding member 500 is configured to cooperate with at least one of the fixed seat 200 and the drive assembly 400 so that the sliding member 500 can move relative to the sliding seat 300 in the second direction.

[0051] Specifically, the slider 500 is disposed on the slider 300. When the drive assembly 400 drives the slider 300 to move along the first direction, the slider 500 can move together with the slider 300 along the first direction. In some embodiments, the slider 500 cooperates with the fixed base 200. When the drive assembly 400 drives the slider 300 to move along the first direction, the slider 500 moves together with the slider 300 along the first direction. At this time, the fixed base 200 and the slider 500 move relative to each other and have an interaction force between them. The fixed base 200 exerts a force on the slider 500 in the second direction to push the slider 500 to move along the second direction.

[0052] It should be noted that when the drive assembly 400 only drives the sliding seat 300 to move in the first direction, the sliding member 500 can cooperate with components such as the fixed seat 200 to achieve the function of movement, as long as the sliding member 500 can move relative to the fixed seat 200 in the second direction.

[0053] In other embodiments, the slider 500 cooperates with the drive assembly 400. The drive assembly 400 can first drive the slider 300 and the slider 500 to move along a first direction, and then drive the slider 500 to move along a second direction. Alternatively, it can first drive the slider 500 to move along a second direction, and then drive the slider 300 and the slider 500 to move along a first direction. Or it can drive the slider 300 to move along a first direction while simultaneously driving the slider 500 to move along a second direction.

[0054] The linkage assembly 600 includes a first linkage 610 and a second linkage 620. One end of the first linkage 610 is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 300, and one end of the second linkage 620 is rotatably connected to the sliding member 500. The other ends of the first linkage 610 and the second linkage 620 are adapted to be rotatably connected to the display component 10, respectively. That is, when the sliding seat 300 and the sliding member 500 move in a first direction, they can drive the display component 10 to move in the first direction to adjust the position of the display component 10 relative to the fixed seat 200. When the sliding member 500 moves in a second direction, it can drive one end of the second linkage 620 to rotate, thereby driving the display component 10 to rotate to change the angle of the display component 10 relative to the fixed seat 200 to adapt to different user needs.

[0055] Specifically, the first link 610 connects the sliding base 300 and the display component 10, and the second link 620 connects the sliding member 500 and the display component 10. When the drive assembly 400 drives the sliding base 300 and the sliding member 500 to move along the first direction, the display component 10 can move along the first direction with the sliding base 300 and the sliding member 500 to change the position of the display component 10 relative to the fixed base 200, so as to facilitate the user's use of the display component 10.

[0056] When the slider 500 moves along the second direction, the first link 610 can limit the position of the display component 10, preventing the display component 10 from moving along the second direction with the slider 500. When the slider 500 drives one end of the second link 620 to move along the second direction, since the second link 620 is rotatably connected to the display component 10 and the slider 500, the second link 620 can rotate when one end moves along the second direction with the slider 500, thereby driving the display component 10 to rotate. Since the first link 610 is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 300 and the display component 10, when the second link 620 drives the display component 10 to rotate, the display component 10 can drive the first link 610 to rotate to support the display component 10, so that the display component 10 can rotate stably to adjust the angle of the display component 10 relative to the fixed seat 200, making it convenient for the user to use the display component 10.

[0057] Therefore, the drive mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the position of the display component 10 within a large range to adapt to different user needs and improve the user experience.

[0058] The driving mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] like Figures 1-18As shown, the driving mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed base 200, a sliding base 300, a driving assembly 400, a sliding member 500, and a connecting rod assembly 600.

[0060] In some embodiments, the display component 10 may be a rearview mirror of a vehicle. The drive assembly 400 can drive the rearview mirror to be retracted into the vehicle body or extend beyond the vehicle body, so as to improve the appearance of the vehicle and reduce the drag coefficient when the rearview mirror is retracted. Alternatively, it can also change the position of the rearview mirror inside the vehicle. In other embodiments, the display component 10 may also be a vehicle-mounted display screen or other similar device, allowing the user to adjust the position of the display component 10 according to their needs via the drive assembly 400, making it more convenient for the user to use the display component 10.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving component 400 can drive the slider 500 to move relative to the sliding seat 300. One of the slider 500 and the fixed seat 200 is provided with a guide groove 210, and the other of the slider 500 and the fixed seat 200 is provided with a guide post 510. The guide groove 210 includes a first groove 211 and a second groove 212 with an included angle. The extension direction of the first groove 211 is parallel to a first direction, and the extension direction of the second groove 212 is parallel to a second direction. Through the cooperation of the guide post 510 and the guide groove 210, the movement direction of the slider 500 can be restricted, and the movement or rotation of the display component 10 can be further controlled.

[0062] Specifically, when the guide post 510 engages with the first groove 211, the groove wall of the first groove 211 provides a certain resistance to the guide post 510 and the extension direction of the first groove 211 is parallel to the first direction. At this time, the slider 500 can only move along the first direction. Furthermore, since the slider 500 is mounted on the sliding seat 300, the drive assembly 400 can drive the sliding seat 300 to move along the first direction, and also drive the slider 500 and the display component 10 to move along the first direction.

[0063] When the guide post 510 engages with the second groove 212, since the groove wall of the second groove 212 has a certain resistance to the guide post 510 and the extension direction of the second groove 212 is parallel to the second direction, the drive assembly 400 can only drive the slider 500 to move along the second direction, so as to drive the second connecting rod 620 to rotate and thus drive the display component 10 to rotate, adjusting the angle of the display component 10 relative to the fixed base 200.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, one of the slider 500 and the fixed base 200 is provided with a guide groove 210, and the other of the slider 500 and the fixed base 200 is provided with a guide post 510. The guide groove 210 has an angle with the first direction and the second direction respectively. Through the cooperation of the guide post 510 and the guide groove 210, the movement of the slider 500 can be restricted, so that the slider 500 can move along the extension direction of the guide groove 210, that is, move simultaneously along the first direction and the second direction, thereby driving the display component 10 to move and rotate along the first direction, so as to adjust the position of the display component 10 relative to the fixed base 200.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 400 cooperates with the sliding seat 300 and the slider 500. When the guide post 510 slides in the guide groove 210, the drive assembly 400 drives the sliding seat 300 to move in the first direction and simultaneously drives the slider 500 to move in the second direction, so that the guide post 510 can slide in the guide groove 210 and the slider 500 can move along the extension direction of the guide groove 210, thereby driving the display component 10 to move and rotate in the first direction.

[0066] In other embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drive assembly 400 only cooperates with the sliding seat 300 and can only drive the sliding seat 300 to move in the first direction. When the drive assembly 400 drives the sliding seat 300 to move in the first direction, the guide post 510 slides in the guide groove 210. At this time, the groove wall of the guide groove 210 has a component force on the guide post 510 in the second direction, so that the sliding member 500 can move in the second direction while moving with the sliding seat 300 in the first direction, so as to drive the display member 10 to rotate while the display member 10 moves in the first direction, thereby changing the position of the display member 10 relative to the fixed seat 200.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the sliding seat 300 is provided with a first guide portion 330, and the fixed seat 200 is provided with a second guide portion 220. The first guide portion 330 and the second guide portion 220 cooperate to guide the sliding seat 300 to move along a first direction, so that the sliding seat 300 can move stably along the first direction, thereby driving the sliding member 500 and the display member 10 to move stably along the first direction.

[0068] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first guide part 330 is a guide hole penetrating the sliding seat 300, and the second guide part 220 is a guide post fixed to the fixed seat 200. The guide hole and the guide post are slidably engaged. When the driving assembly 400 drives the sliding seat 300 to move along the first direction, the guide hole can slide on the guide post to limit the moving direction of the sliding seat 300 and support the sliding seat 300 to slide, so that the sliding seat 300 can move stably along the first direction.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7-10 As shown, the first direction extends in the left and right direction, and the guide post extends in the left and right direction. When the drive assembly 400 drives the sliding seat 300 to move in the left and right direction, the guide hole slides on the sliding post in the left and right direction so that the sliding seat 300 can move smoothly in the left and right direction and prevent the sliding seat 300 from detaching from the fixed seat 200 when moving.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the linkage assembly 600 also includes a third linkage 630, the two ends of which are connected to the slider 500 and the first linkage 610 respectively, so that when the slider 500 moves in the second direction, the third linkage 630 can push the first linkage 610 to rotate, thereby causing the display component 10 to rotate, thus preventing the first linkage 610 from being stuck in a certain position and affecting the rotation of the display component 10.

[0071] Specifically, when the slider 500 moves along the second direction, both the third link 630 and the second link 620 rotate. The second link 620 directly drives the display component 10 to rotate, and the third link 630 pushes the first link 610 to rotate, thereby pushing the display component 10 to rotate, so that the display component 10 can rotate smoothly, making it easier to adjust the angle of the display component 10 relative to the fixed base 200, and making it easier for the user to use the display component 10.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the first link 610 is located on the front side of the sliding seat 300 (it should be understood that the above directional limitation is only for the convenience of describing the drawings and does not limit the actual setting position and direction of the drive mechanism 20 of the display component 10), the second link 620 is located behind the first link 610, and the third link 630 is located between the first link 610 and the second link 620. One end of the third link 630 is rotatably connected to the sliding member 500, and the other end is rotatably located in the middle of the first link 610, so that when the sliding member 500 drives the third link 630 to rotate, the third link 630 can apply a certain torque to the first link 610 to push the first link 610 to rotate, thereby enabling the display component 10 to rotate smoothly.

[0073] Furthermore, when the third link 630 drives the first link 610 to rotate, a triangle can be formed between the first link 610, the third link 630, and the slider 500 or the slider seat 300 to fix the display component 10 at a certain angle, so as to prevent the display component 10 from being affected by external forces and rotating under the interference of external forces.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second direction extends along the front-back direction, and the slider 500 can move along the front-back direction. Depending on the distance the slider 500 moves forward, the display component 10 can rotate at different angles to meet the different needs of the user for the display component 10.

[0075] Specifically, when the slider 500 moves forward, it can drive the second link 620 to rotate counterclockwise and drive the third link 630 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the display component 10 to rotate counterclockwise upward. Depending on the distance the slider 500 slides forward, the angle at which the display component 10 rotates counterclockwise upward is also different.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving assembly 400 includes a driving motor 410, a rotating member 420, and a mating member 430. The driving motor 410 is fixed to the fixed base 200. The rotating member 420 cooperates with the driving motor 410 to be driven to rotate by the driving motor 410. The mating member 430 cooperates with the rotating member 420 so that the mating member 430 can move at least relative to the rotating member 420. The mating member 430 cooperates with the sliding base 300 to drive the sliding base 300 to move during movement, so as to further drive the sliding member 500 and the display component 10 to move, thereby changing the position of the display component 10 relative to the fixed base 200.

[0077] In some embodiments, the rotating member 420 and the mating member 430 are threadedly engaged. The rotating member 420 is formed as a lead screw with external threads, and the mating member 430 has internal threads. The drive motor 410 can directly drive the rotating member 420 to rotate. The lead screw drive between the rotating member 420 and the mating member 430 has a reverse self-locking function, ensuring that the display component 10 can move smoothly under the drive of the drive assembly 400, preventing the mating member 430 from moving due to force, and avoiding any impact on the position of the display component 10.

[0078] In some embodiments, the mating member 430 has a motion state, that is, when the drive motor 410 drives the rotating member 420 to rotate, the mating member 430 can move along the length direction of the rotating member 420 to drive the sliding seat 300 to move along the first direction, and drive the sliding member 500 and the display member 10 to move along the first direction.

[0079] The sliding member 500 has a guide post 510, and the fixed base 200 has a guide groove 210. The guide groove 210 has an angle with the first direction and the second direction. When the drive motor 410 drives the mating part to move along the first direction, the sliding base 300 drives the sliding member 500 to move along the first direction. At this time, the guide post 510 slides in the guide groove 210. The groove wall of the guide groove 210 has a component force on the guide post 510 in the second direction, so that the sliding member 500 can move along the second direction while moving along the first direction with the sliding base 300. So that while the display component 10 moves along the first direction, the linkage assembly 600 pushes the display component 10 to rotate, thereby changing the position of the display component 10 relative to the fixed base 200.

[0080] In other embodiments, the mating member 430 has two motion states. In one state, when the drive motor 410 drives the rotating member 420 to rotate, the mating member 430 can move along the length direction of the rotating member 420 to drive the sliding member 500 and the display member 10 to move along the first direction. In the other state, when the drive motor 410 drives the rotating member 420 to rotate, the mating member 430 can rotate together with the rotating member 420 to drive the sliding member 500 to move along the second direction during the rotation of the mating member 430, and then push the display member 10 to rotate through the linkage assembly 600.

[0081] Specifically, the drive motor 410 can first drive the mating component 430 to move and then drive it to rotate, or it can first drive the mating component 430 to rotate and then drive it to move, or it can drive the mating component 430 to both rotate and move simultaneously. In particular, switching between these two states can be achieved by restricting the rotation of the mating component 430, allowing the mating component 430 to move relative to the rotating component 420. The restriction method can be set according to the actual situation.

[0082] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sliding member 500 is provided with a first meshing tooth 520, and the mating member 430 is provided with a second meshing tooth 431. The first meshing tooth 520 and the second meshing tooth 431 mesh with each other, and the mating member 430 can rotate relative to the rotating member 420. Since the sliding member 500 and the mating member 430 are meshed with each other through the first meshing tooth 520 and the second meshing tooth 431, when the mating member 430 rotates, it can drive the sliding member 500 to move along the second direction, and then push the display component 10 to rotate through the linkage assembly 600.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first meshing tooth 520 is a first meshing tooth 520 on a rack, and the first meshing tooth 520 extends along a second direction so that when the rotating member 420 rotates, the sliding member 500 can move along the second direction.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the slider 500 has a guide post 510, and the fixed seat 200 has a guide groove 210. The guide groove 210 includes a first groove 211 and a second groove 212. The first groove 211 extends in the left-right direction, and the second groove 212 extends in the front-back direction. The left end of the first groove 211 is connected to the rear end of the second groove 212. When the guide post 510 is engaged with the first groove 211, the first groove 211 restricts the movement direction of the guide post 510. At this time, the guide post 510 can only move in the left-right direction. That is to say, the slider 500 and the slider seat 300 can only move in the left-right direction. At this time, the mating part 430 can only move in the left-right direction.

[0085] In other words, when the drive motor 410 drives the rotating component 420 to rotate, the mating component 430 can only move in the left and right directions and cannot rotate, so as to drive the sliding seat 300 to move in the left and right directions, and in turn drive the sliding component 500 and the display component 10 to move in the left and right directions.

[0086] When the guide post 510 slides to the left end of the first groove 211 and is in the second groove 212, the guide post 510 cannot continue to slide to the left and can only slide forward along the second groove 212. Since the second groove 212 restricts the movement direction of the guide post 510, the sliding seat 300 no longer moves, and only the sliding member 500 moves in the front-back direction. Since the sliding member 500 and the mating member 430 are engaged by the first meshing tooth 520 and the second meshing tooth 431, the mating member 430 can only rotate and cannot move. When the drive motor 410 drives the rotating member 420 to rotate, since the mating member 430 can only rotate, the mating member 430 rotates with the rotating member 420 to drive the sliding member 500 to move in the front-back direction, and then drives the display component 10 to rotate through the linkage assembly 600.

[0087] In other embodiments, the slider 500 has a guide post 510, and the fixing base 200 has a guide groove 210, which is inclined from right to left and forward, such as... Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, since the guide groove 210 restricts the movement direction of the guide post 510, when the guide post 510 moves along the guide groove 210, the sliding member 500 moves simultaneously along the first direction and the second direction. At this time, the mating member 430 can only move and rotate at the same time.

[0088] When the drive motor 410 drives the rotating component 420 to rotate, the mating component 430 can only rotate and move at the same time, so as to drive the sliding component 500 to move simultaneously in the left-right and front-back directions, that is, to move along the direction of the guide groove 210, so as to change the position of the display component 10 relative to the fixed base 200.

[0089] Specifically, when the drive motor 410 drives the rotating part 420 to rotate clockwise, the mating part 430 rotates clockwise and moves to the left at the same time. The mating part 430 drives the sliding seat 300 to move to the left and drives the sliding part 500 to move forward. At this time, the guide post 510 slides from left to right in the guide groove so that the display part 10 moves to the left and rotates counterclockwise by a certain angle to change the position of the display part 10 relative to the fixed seat 200.

[0090] When the drive motor 410 drives the rotating part 420 to rotate counterclockwise, the mating part 430 rotates counterclockwise and moves to the right at the same time. The mating part 430 drives the sliding seat 300 to move to the right and drives the sliding part 500 to move backward. At this time, the guide post 510 slides from right to left in the guide groove so that the display part 10 moves to the right and rotates clockwise by a certain angle to change the position of the display part 10 relative to the fixed seat 200.

[0091] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the sliding seat 300 is provided with a support cavity 312, and a part of the mating member 430 is rotatably supported in the support cavity 312 so that when the mating member 430 moves in the first direction, it can drive the sliding seat 300 to move in the first direction. The support cavity 312 can restrict the rotation of the mating member 430 on the one hand, and support the mating member 430 to rotate smoothly on the other hand.

[0092] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the sliding seat 300 includes a first seat body 310 and a second seat body 320. The first seat body 310 is provided with a first sliding groove 311, and the second seat body 320 is provided with a second sliding groove 321. At least one of the first seat body 310 and the second seat body 320 is provided with a support cavity 312. The first seat body 310 and the second seat body 320 are fixed relative to each other. The sliding member 500 is disposed between the first seat body 310 and the second seat body 320. The sliding member 500 slides and engages with the first sliding groove 311 and the second sliding groove 321 respectively, which facilitates the restriction of the sliding direction of the sliding member 500 and supports the sliding of the sliding member 500, so that the sliding member 500 can slide smoothly relative to the sliding seat 300 in the second direction.

[0093] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, when the user needs to install the drive assembly 400, the mating part 430 can be first assembled into the support cavity 312 of the first seat 310, the sliding part 500 can be installed into the first seat 310 and the second seat 320, and the sliding part 500 can be slidably engaged with the first slide groove 311 and the second slide groove 321. Then, the first seat 310 and the second seat 320 can be locked with screws. One end of the two first connecting rods 610 is hinged to the corresponding hinge hole on the display screen through hinge screws, and the other end of the two first connecting rods 610 is hinged to the corresponding hinge hole on the first seat 310 and the second seat 320 respectively. One end of the two second connecting rods 620 is hinged to the corresponding hinge hole on the display screen through hinge screws, and the other end is hinged to the corresponding hinge hole on the sliding part 500. One end of the two third connecting rods 630 is hinged to the hinge hole on the corresponding first connecting rod 610 through hinge screws, and the other end is hinged to the corresponding hinge hole on the sliding part 500.

[0094] Then, one end of the rotating member 420 engages with the mating member 430, and the other end engages with the drive motor 410; the drive motor 410 is fixed to the fixed base 200 by hinge screws; then, the second guide part 220 on the fixed base 200 passes through the first guide part 330 on the sliding base 300, and the second guide part 220 is fixed to the fixed base 200 by screws, so that the guide post 510 on the sliding member 500 engages with the guide groove 210 on the fixed base 200.

[0095] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below. The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body and a drive mechanism 20 for the display component 10 according to the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0096] The fixed base 200 is fixed to the vehicle body. Since the sliding base 300 is movably mounted on the fixed base 200, the sliding base 300 can be moved relative to the vehicle body, thereby enabling the display component 10 to be moved relative to the vehicle body. This allows for the storage or adjustment of the position of the display component 10, making it convenient for users to use the display component 10.

[0097] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the position of the display component 10 can be adjusted within a wide range by utilizing the drive mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to the above embodiment of the present invention, so as to adapt to different user needs and improve the user experience.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle body is provided with a receiving space, and the drive mechanism 20 is provided in the receiving space. In the use state, the sliding seat 300 moves to drive the display component 10 to extend out of the receiving space so that the display component 10 is exposed outside the vehicle body, so that the user can observe the environment outside the vehicle body through the display component 10.

[0099] In the stowed state, the sliding seat 300 moves to retract the display component 10 into the receiving space, thereby facilitating the storage of the display component 10, reducing the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle and improving the aesthetics of the vehicle body.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, the display component 10 is an electronic rearview mirror, which is rotatably connected to a first link 610 and a second link 620, respectively, so that when the slider 500 moves in the second direction, the electronic rearview mirror is moved by the first link 610 and the second link 620. In use, the electronic rearview mirror extends out of the receiving space and can receive information captured by a camera mounted on the exterior of the vehicle, facilitating the user's observation of the environment near the vehicle through the electronic display mirror.

[0101] In some embodiments, the electronic display can be connected to a display screen inside the vehicle, which can be positioned near the driver's seat to allow the user to observe the situation around the vehicle, thus improving user convenience and user experience.
