Moreover, the "upper", "upper" and "upper" of the first feature to the second feature includes the vertical and oblique above of the first feature to the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The "below", "below" and "below" of the first feature to the second feature includes the vertical and oblique below of the first feature to the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.

[0028] In the description of the present embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", and other orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0029] The first direction described in the present embodiment is the X direction as shown in Figure 3 , that is, the width direction of the intelligent key of the automobile; the second direction is Figure 2 andFigure 3 The Y direction is the length direction of the automobile intelligent key, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0030] As Figure 1 The Figure 4 In the embodiment, the automobile intelligent key comprises a key body 100 and a pendant 200, both sides of the key body 100 are provided with sliding grooves 110 extending along the second direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, both ends of the pendant 200 are provided with sliding columns 210, the sliding columns 210 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 110, the sliding columns 210 are detachably connected to groove bottom walls 111 of the sliding grooves 110, and the pendant 200 can be close to or away from the key body 100 along the second direction, so that the inner wall of the pendant 200 is arranged in close contact with the outer wall of the key body 100 or is surrounded to form a pendant hole 201.

[0031] In the embodiment, the sliding columns 210 of the pendant 200 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 110 provided on both sides of the key body 100, and the sliding columns 210 are detachably connected to the groove bottom walls 111 of the sliding grooves 110, so that the pendant 200 can be away from the key body 100 along the second direction, thereby forming the pendant hole 201 between the pendant 200 and the key body 100, realizing the pendant of the automobile key, and after the pendant 200 is close to the key body 100, the inner wall of the pendant 200 is arranged in close contact with the outer wall of the key body 100, thereby forming an integral whole, realizing the storage of the automobile intelligent key. The pendant 200 of the automobile intelligent key in the embodiment can be hidden or pulled out for use, the structure is simple, is suitable for different use requirements of different users, does not need to produce different types of automobile keys by multiple mold opening, and the production cost is reduced.

[0032] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 The sliding grooves 110 are provided with limiting protrusions 113 at the groove openings, one end of the sliding column 210 close to the groove bottom wall 111 is provided with a limiting table 211, and the limiting table 211 is detachably connected to the groove bottom wall 111. The sliding grooves 110 and the sliding columns 210 are provided in this way, the limiting protrusions 113 and the sliding columns 210 are matched to prevent the sliding columns 210 from being pulled out of the sliding grooves 110, and the reliability of the connection is ensured.

[0033] Optionally, the sliding column 210 and the limiting table 211 are both cylindrical and integrally formed, and the diameter of the limiting table 211 is greater than that of the sliding column 210. Specifically, the limiting table 211 is coaxially arranged with the sliding column 210. Since the diameter of the limiting table 211 is greater than that of the sliding column 210, the limiting table 211 can be clamped to the limiting protrusion 113 to prevent the sliding column 210 from falling off.

[0034] Further, the limiting protrusion 113 surrounds a through hole 114, the width of the through hole 114 is not less than the diameter of the sliding column 210, and the width of the through hole 114 is less than the diameter of the limiting table 211. The through hole 114 thus arranged not only does not block the sliding of the sliding column 210, but also makes the limiting table 211 unable to pass through the through hole 114, preventing the sliding column 210 from falling off.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 Optionally, the key body 100 includes an upper cover 102 and a lower cover 103 that are mutually buckled. Further, the upper cover 102 and the lower cover 103 are connected by a locking screw 101.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 Optionally, the limiting table 211 is magnetically connected, bonded or buckled to the groove bottom wall 111. The connection is simple and reliable, easy to process, and can realize stable connection of the groove bottom wall 111 and the sliding column 210, prevent the pendant 200 from falling off unintentionally, and facilitate pulling out the pendant 200, improving the user's experience. Further, the upper cover 102 and the lower cover 103 are connected by the locking screw 101. The upper cover 102 and the lower cover 103 are buckled, which can achieve good sealing, isolate the electrical structure inside the key body 100 from the external environment, and thus protect the car key from water, dust and static electricity. Specifically, the locking screw 101 is used to connect the upper cover 102 and the lower cover 103, which not only has good fixing effect, but also is easy to disassemble, thereby efficiently maintaining the internal electrical structure and reducing maintenance cost.

[0037] Specifically, the magnetic connection groove bottom wall 111 and the sliding column 210 are adopted in the embodiment. Optionally, the limiting table 211 is provided with a first magnetic sheet 212, and the groove bottom wall 111 is provided with a second magnetic sheet 112 which is attracted to the first magnetic sheet 212. Further, one of the first magnetic sheet 212 and the second magnetic sheet 112 is a magnet, and the other is an iron sheet or another magnet with opposite magnetic properties. In the embodiment, the first magnetic sheet 212 and the second magnetic sheet 112 are two magnets with opposite magnetic properties, which can realize the magnetic connection of the sliding column 210 and the groove bottom wall 111. The magnetic connection has the advantages of small occupied space, high connection stability, convenient disconnection, long service life, simple processing and no pollution, which will not be described here.

[0038] Further, the second magnetic sheet 112 is spaced apart in the second direction and provided with at least two. In the embodiment, the second magnetic sheet 112 is provided with two, which are respectively arranged at positions of the groove bottom wall 111 corresponding to the sliding column 210 when the pendant 200 is attached to the key body 100, and positions of the groove bottom wall 111 corresponding to the sliding column 210 when the pendant 200 is pulled out. Of course, the second magnetic sheet 112 can be provided with more than two, so that the size of the pendant hole 201 can be changed to adapt to different pendant requirements.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the pendant 200 is not greater than the thickness of the key body 100. The pendant 200 arranged in this way will not exceed the thickness of the key body 100, so that when the pendant 200 is attached to the key body 100, the volume is smaller, the appearance can be integrated as a whole, and it is more convenient to store.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of the present application. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
