For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediary, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the exposed shielding cover plate affects the appearance of the driver's console, the present invention provides a driver's console with automatic switching of multiple driving modes.

[0039] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 9As shown, the driver's station with automatic switching of multiple driving modes includes a driver's station body 1, a fixed guide rail 2, a first drive mechanism 8, a controller, a sliding part 3, and a shielding cover assembly 4, wherein the driver's station body 1 has a accommodating cavity; the fixed guide rail 2 is arranged on the inner side wall of the accommodating cavity; at least a part of the sliding part 3 is arranged on the fixed guide rail 2, the first drive mechanism 8 is drive-connected to the sliding part 3, and the first drive mechanism 8 is used to drive the sliding part 3 to slide along the fixed guide rail 2; the controller is signal-connected to the first drive mechanism 8, and the controller is used to control the operating state of the first drive mechanism 8; the shielding cover assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the sliding part 3, and the shielding cover assembly 4 has a accommodating position located in the accommodating cavity and a covering position exposed outside the accommodating cavity. When the shielding cover assembly 4 switches between the covering position and the accommodating position, the shielding cover assembly 4 and the sliding part 3 can move together along one end of the fixed guide rail 2 to the other end.

[0040] The present invention is achieved by rotatably connecting the shielding cover assembly 4 to the sliding part 3, and the sliding part 3 to the fixed guide rail 2 in a sliding connection. When the driving mode is manned driving, the controller controls the first driving mechanism 8 to run forward, and the shielding cover assembly 4 and the sliding part 3 slide together along the fixed guide rail 2 into the accommodating cavity, and the shielding cover assembly 4 switches from the covering position to the accommodating position, and the operating area is exposed for the driver to operate; when the driving mode is unmanned driving, the controller controls the first driving mechanism 8 to run reversely, and the shielding cover assembly 4 and the sliding part 3 slide together along the fixed guide rail 2 to the outside of the accommodating cavity, and the shielding cover assembly 4 switches from the accommodating position to the covering position, and the operating area is covered by the shielding cover assembly 4 to prevent accidental touch. The present invention can realize the hiding function of the shielding cover assembly 4, and the overall appearance of the driver's station is more beautiful after switching to the manned driving mode, and the controller electrically controls the opening and closing of the shielding cover assembly 4, which saves manpower and facilitates the operation of switching the driving mode. As shown in the attached figure Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the shielding cover assembly 4 switches from the covering position to the receiving position, the fixed guide rail 2 is designed to be vertical, and the controller controls the first drive mechanism 8 to operate in the forward direction, causing the shielding cover assembly 4 and the sliding portion 3 to slide along the fixed guide rail 2 toward the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, and the angle between the shielding cover assembly 4 and the sliding portion 3 gradually increases. When the shielding cover assembly 4 switches from the receiving position to the covering position, the controller controls the first drive mechanism 8 to operate in the reverse direction, causing the shielding cover assembly 4 and the sliding portion 3 to slide along the fixed guide rail 2 toward the opening of the accommodating cavity, and the angle between the shielding cover assembly 4 and the sliding portion 3 gradually decreases. In this way, the shielding cover assembly 4 can rotate relative to the sliding portion 3, and the shielding cover assembly 4 and the sliding portion 3 can slide together relative to the fixed guide rail 2, ensuring smooth operation of the entire mechanism.

[0041] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 3As shown, the driver's station also includes a fixed structure 5, a connecting portion 6, and a sliding track 7, which are arranged to the side of the shield cover assembly 4 in the opening and closing direction. The fixed structure 5 is connected to the driver's station body 1; one end of the connecting portion 6 is rotatably connected to the fixed structure 5; and the sliding track 7 is provided on the shield cover assembly 4, with the end of the connecting portion 6 away from the fixed structure 5 being slidably connected to the sliding track 7. Thus, when the shield cover assembly 4 switches between the covering position and the storage position, the connecting portion 6 rotates relative to the fixed structure 5, and the shield cover assembly 4 slides relative to the connecting portion 6 via the sliding track 7, ensuring the stability of the shield cover assembly 4.

[0042] Preferably, the first driving mechanism 8 is a servo motor.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the driver's station also includes a transmission assembly 110, and the sliding part 3 includes a first slider 31, a sliding beam 32, two second sliders 33 and multiple first connecting blocks 34, wherein the first driving mechanism 8 drives the first slider 31 to move up and down through the transmission assembly 110 (belt screw), the first slider 31 and the sliding beam 32 are fixed together by bolts, the length direction of the sliding beam 32 is perpendicular to the length direction of the fixed guide rail 2, the lateral ends of the sliding beam 32 are fixed together with the two second sliders 33 by bolts, the two second sliders 33 can slide up and down on the two fixed guide rails 2, the sliding beam 32 is rotatably connected to the shielding cover assembly 4 through multiple first connecting blocks 34, and the shielding cover assembly 4 can rotate around the axis of the first connecting block 34, so that the movement of the sliding beam 32 drives the movement of the shielding cover assembly 4.

[0044] It should be noted that if Figure 4 As shown, the shielding cover assembly 4 includes a front flap 41, a second connecting block 42, a supporting profile 43, a third connecting block 44, a fourth connecting block 45 and a hexagonal beam 46, wherein the front flap 41 can cover the operating area of ​​the driver's station, and the inner surface of the front flap 41 is connected to the supporting profile 43 through multiple second connecting blocks 42 to ensure the overall strength of the shielding cover assembly 4, there are two supporting profiles 43, and they are respectively located at both ends parallel to the opening and closing direction of the front flap 41, and the side of the supporting profile 43 away from the front flap 41 is connected to the sliding rail 7, and the length direction of the supporting profile 43 is the same as the length direction of the sliding rail 7, and the supporting profile 43 is connected to both ends of the length direction of the hexagonal beam 46 through the third connecting block 44, and the length direction of the hexagonal beam 46 is perpendicular to the length direction of the support profile 43, and the outer periphery of the hexagonal beam 46 is provided with multiple fourth connecting blocks 45, and the multiple fourth connecting blocks 45 correspond one-to-one to the multiple first connecting blocks 34 and are rotatably connected.

[0045] It should be noted that if Figures 1 to 3As shown, the fixed structure 5 includes a fixed beam 51 and two fixed blocks 52, wherein the fixed beam 51 is fixed on the driver's platform body, the length direction of the fixed beam 51 is perpendicular to the length direction of the sliding beam 32, and two fixed blocks 52 are fixed at both ends of the fixed beam 51 by bolts, and the fixed blocks 52 are rotatably connected to the connecting part 6.

[0046] Preferably, a third slider 61 is provided at one end of the connecting portion 6 away from the fixing block 52 , and the connecting portion 6 is slidably connected to the sliding rail 7 via the third slider 61 .

[0047] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the driver's station also includes a first touch bracket 9, a first travel switch 10, and a second travel switch 20. The first touch bracket 9 is connected to the sliding portion 3; the first travel switch 10 and the second travel switch 20 are installed at intervals on the fixed guide rail 2. The first travel switch 10 and the second travel switch 20 are respectively connected to the controller signal to detect the feedback signals of the first travel switch 10 and the second travel switch 20. The controller detects the operating position of the first touch bracket 9 based on the feedback signals of the first travel switch 10 and the second travel switch 20, and then determines whether the shield cover assembly 4 is in the covering or storage position. Specifically, when the first touch bracket 9 moves to the point where it senses the first travel switch 10, the shield cover assembly 4 is in the storage position and the controller controls the first drive mechanism 8 to stop operating. When the first touch bracket 9 moves to the point where it senses the second travel switch 20, the shield cover assembly 4 is in the covering position and the controller controls the first drive mechanism 8 to stop operating. In this way, the first touch bracket 9 and the first travel switch 10 sense that the shielding cover assembly 4 is accommodated in place, and the first touch bracket 9 and the second travel switch 20 sense that the shielding cover assembly 4 is covered in place, and the first driving mechanism 8 is controlled to stop running to ensure the safety of the device operation.

[0048] To lower the front flap 41 to its concealed position, the controller controls the servo motor to rotate forward, driving the first slider 31 downward through the transmission assembly 110. The first slider 31 drives the sliding crossbeam 32 and the first connecting block 34, causing the shield assembly 4 to rotate around the first connecting block 34 while moving downward. The first touch bracket 9 is fixed to the sliding crossbeam 32. When the sliding crossbeam 32 sinks to the point where the first touch bracket 9 touches the first limit switch 10, the controller controls the servo motor to power off, and the shield assembly 4 sinks into place. To raise and close the front flap 41 to its covering position, the controller controls the servo motor to rotate backward. During this process, the sliding crossbeam 32 rises. When the first touch bracket 9 touches the second limit switch 20, the controller controls the servo motor to power off, and the shield assembly 4 closes into place.

[0049] As attached Figure 1 、 Figures 5 to 8As shown, the driver's station also includes a decorative panel assembly 30, at least a portion of which is reversibly disposed at the opening of the accommodating cavity. Thus, when the shielding cover assembly 4 is in the fully contained or fully covered position, the decorative panel assembly 30 closes the opening of the accommodating cavity, preventing dust from falling into the accommodating cavity and ensuring that the driver's station retains a good aesthetic appearance.

[0050] As attached Figure 1 、 Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the flipping direction of the decorative plate assembly 30 is the same as the rotation direction of the shield cover assembly 4 along the sliding portion 3. In this way, interference between the decorative plate assembly 30 and the shield cover assembly 4 during movement is prevented to affect the operation of the device.

[0051] As attached Figure 9 As shown, when the shielding cover assembly 4 is in the covering position and the decorative plate assembly 30 is closed, the shielding cover assembly 4 and the decorative plate assembly 30 at least partially overlap. In this way, the decorative plate assembly 30 can completely cover the accommodating cavity to ensure the aesthetics of the driver's station.

[0052] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the decorative plate assembly 30 is located in front of the shielding cover assembly 4 .

[0053] As attached Figure 5 To the attached Figure 8 As shown, the driver's station also includes a second drive mechanism 40, which is connected to a controller by signal. The controller is used to control the operating state of the second drive mechanism 40. When the shield cover assembly 4 switches between the covering position and the storage position, the controller controls the second drive mechanism 40 to operate in the forward direction, causing the decorative panel assembly 30 to flip open. When the shield cover assembly 4 is in the storage position or the covering position, the controller controls the second drive mechanism 40 to operate in the reverse direction, causing the decorative panel assembly 30 to flip closed. In this way, by controlling the coordinated operation of the shield cover assembly 4 and the decorative panel assembly 30, the driver's station's driving mode switching function is achieved.

[0054] As attached Figure 5 To the attached Figure 8 As shown, the driver's station also includes a fixed base 50, a rack 60, and a cylindrical gear 70. The fixed base 50 is connected to the driver's station body 1, and the second drive mechanism 40 is disposed on the fixed base 50. The rack 60 is connected to the driving end of the second drive mechanism 40, and the second drive mechanism 40 can drive the rack 60 to move along its length. The cylindrical gear 70 is coupled to the rack 60 and connected to the edge of the decorative panel assembly 30. The rotation of the cylindrical gear 70 can drive the decorative panel assembly 30 to flip. In this way, the second drive mechanism 40 drives the rack 60 and the cylindrical gear 70 to move in coordination to drive the decorative panel assembly 30 to flip. The mechanism is simple, easy to implement, and reliable.

[0055] Preferably, the second driving mechanism 40 is an electric push rod, which is fixed on a fixing base 50, which is fixed on the driver's platform, and the push rod of the electric push rod is connected to the rack 60 through a pin. The flipping of the decorative panel assembly 30 is electrically controlled, which saves manpower and is convenient to operate.

[0056] Preferably, a guide rail slider is provided below the rack 60 . When the second driving mechanism 40 drives the rack 60 to move, the guide rail slider can slide on the corresponding slide rail to guide the movement of the rack 60 .

[0057] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the driver's station further includes a cylindrical crossbeam 120, and the decorative panel assembly 30 includes a rear flap 301 and a plurality of connecting brackets 302. The edge of the rear flap 301 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the cylindrical crossbeam 120 via the plurality of connecting brackets 302. The cylindrical gear 70 is sleeved on the cylindrical crossbeam 120 and fixedly connected to the cylindrical crossbeam 120. The connecting brackets 302 are bent, preferably in a U-shape, to ensure a secure connection between the rear flap 301 and the cylindrical crossbeam 120.

[0058] As attached Figure 8 As shown, the driver's station further includes a second touch bracket 80, a third travel switch 90, and a fourth travel switch 100. The second touch bracket 80 is connected to the rack 60. The third and fourth travel switches 90 and 100 are spaced apart and mounted on the fixing base 50. The third and fourth travel switches 90 and 100 are respectively connected to the controller for signal transmission. The third and fourth travel switches 90 and 100 are respectively connected to the controller for signal transmission, and are configured to detect feedback signals from the third and fourth travel switches 90 and 100. The controller detects the operating position of the second touch bracket 80 based on the feedback signals from the third and fourth travel switches 90 and 100, thereby determining the movement position of the decorative panel assembly 30. Specifically, when the second touch bracket 80 moves to the point where it senses the third travel switch 90, the decorative panel assembly 30 opens and the controller controls the second drive mechanism 40 to stop operating. When the second touch bracket 80 moves to the point where it senses the fourth travel switch 100, the decorative panel assembly 30 closes and the controller controls the second drive mechanism 40 to stop operating. In this way, the second touch bracket 80 and the third travel switch 90 sense that the decorative panel assembly 30 is fully opened, and the second touch bracket 80 and the fourth travel switch 100 sense that the decorative panel assembly 30 is fully closed, and the second driving mechanism 40 is controlled to stop running to ensure the safety of the device.

[0059] To open the rear flap 301, the controller controls the electric push rod to extend, i.e., the second drive mechanism 40 operates in the forward direction, driving the rack 60 to perform linear motion. The rack 60 then drives the cylindrical gear 70 to rotate. The second touch bracket 80 is fixed to the rack 60. When the cylindrical gear 70 rotates a certain angle, the rear flap 301 opens a certain angle. When the second touch bracket 80, driven by the rack 60, touches the third limit switch 90, the controller controls the electric push rod to de-energize, and the rear flap 301 fully opens. To close the rear flap 301, the controller controls the electric push rod to retract. At this point, the second drive mechanism 40 operates in the reverse direction. When the second touch bracket 80, driven by the rack 60, touches the fourth limit switch 100, the controller controls the electric push rod to de-energize, and the rear flap 301 fully closes.

[0060] It should be noted that the driver's station of the present application consists of two parts: a shielding cover module and a decorative cover module. The shielding cover module includes a fixed guide rail 2, a sliding part 3, a shielding cover assembly 4, a fixed structure 5, a connecting part 6, a sliding rail 7, a first driving mechanism 8, a first touch bracket 9, a first travel switch 10, a second travel switch 20, and a transmission assembly 110; the decorative cover module includes a decorative panel assembly 30, a second driving mechanism 40, a fixing seat 50, a rack 60, a cylindrical gear 70, a second touch bracket 80, a third travel switch 90, a fourth travel switch 100 and a cylindrical beam 120. The shielding cover module and the decorative cover module operate in coordination through electronic control to achieve the switching of the driving mode of the driver's station. The electronic control process of switching the driving mode of the driver's station is as follows:

[0061] The controller monitors the status of the first travel switch 10, the second travel switch 20, the third travel switch 90, and the fourth travel switch 100 and controls the operation status of the servo motor and the electric push rod to control the coordinated movement of the shielding cover assembly 4 and the rear flap 301. Figure 9As shown, when switching to the manned driving mode, the operator only needs to press the manned driving mode button on the controller. First, the electric push rod is energized and extended, that is, the second driving mechanism 40 runs forward, driving the rear flap 301 to open, until the second touch bracket 80 touches the third travel switch 90. The controller controls the electric push rod to be powered off and stop running, and the rear flap 301 stops at the specified position. The controller controls the servo motor to be energized and run forward, that is, the first driving mechanism 8 runs forward, and the sinking channel of the shielding cover assembly 4 is opened. The shielding cover assembly 4 opens and sinks under the drive of the servo motor until the first touch bracket 9 contacts the first travel switch 10. The controller controls the servo motor to be powered off and stop running, and the shielding cover assembly 4 sinks to the specified position. The electric push rod is energized and pulled back, that is, the second driving mechanism 40 runs reversely, and the rear flap 301 is closed under the pulling action of the electric push rod until the second touch bracket 80 contacts the fourth travel switch 100. The controller controls the electric push rod to be powered off and stop running, and the rear flap 301 closes to the specified position, completing the switching to the manned driving mode.

[0062] When switching to the unmanned driving mode, the operator only needs to press the unmanned driving mode button on the controller.
