DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the technical personnel in the technical field to which the present application belongs to understand the present application more clearly, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] In addition, the present application may repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples, and such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present application provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art may recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0031] The central armrests of traditional cars are mostly fixed and cannot be moved. Some sliding armrests focus on functional expansion, that is, the armrest cover and the armrest body can be moved, or the rear end of the armrest can be moved relative to the front end for use by rear passengers. In addition, the armrest is generally used as a decorative part and storage to improve driving comfort and vehicle storage space, and has nothing to do with vehicle safety. When the vehicle collides, rolls, or overturns, if the driver's or co-driver's door is squeezed and cannot be opened, the occupants can consider leaving the vehicle from the opposite door, but due to the obstruction of the armrest, it is difficult for the occupants to transfer between the driver and co-driver.

[0032] Therefore, in order to facilitate the timely escape of the passengers and avoid secondary injuries, the present application provides an armrest box installation structure, a vehicle, a control method and an electronic device, which can automatically pop open the armrest box when a serious accident occurs in the vehicle, so as to facilitate the passengers to escape from the opposite door.

[0033] In the first aspect of the present application, an armrest box installation structure is provided for connecting the armrest box and the auxiliary instrument panel of the vehicle. Figure 1 and Figure 2, shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the armrest box 200 and the auxiliary instrument panel 300 of the vehicle 1000 connected through the armrest box mounting structure. The armrest box 200 is located between the main driver's seat 110 and the auxiliary driver's seat 120, also known as the central armrest box, and the front end of the armrest box 200 is connected to the auxiliary instrument panel 300, and the rear end is spaced from the rear seat 400.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The armrest box installation structure includes a guide rail 10, a first locking mechanism 20 and an elastic member 30. The guide rail 10 extends along the length direction of the vehicle 1000 and is fixed to the vehicle body 100. The armrest box 200 is slidably connected to the guide rail 10 and can move forward and backward on the guide rail 10 along the length direction of the vehicle 1000. The first locking mechanism 20 is used to lock the armrest box 200 and the guide rail 10. When the first locking mechanism 20 is unlocked, the armrest box 200 can slide on the guide rail 10. One end of the elastic member 30 is connected to the auxiliary instrument panel 300 or the vehicle body 100, and the other end is connected to the armrest box 200. The elastic member 30 is used to provide a driving force when the armrest box 200 pops out. When the first locking mechanism 20 locks the armrest box 200 and the guide rail 10, the armrest box 200 is connected to the auxiliary instrument panel 300, and the elastic member 30 is in a compressed state. The elastic member 30 may be a coil spring or a gas spring, etc. The elastic member 30 may be compressed by the armrest box 200 and the auxiliary instrument panel 300 , or by the armrest box 200 and the vehicle body 100 .

[0035] When it is identified that the vehicle 1000 has a serious collision or rollover or overturn, the first locking mechanism 20 can be unlocked manually or automatically, and the elastic member 30 quickly pops the armrest box 200 backward. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 30, the armrest box 200 slides along the length direction of the vehicle 1000 to separate from the auxiliary instrument panel 300 by a set distance, such as Figure 2 As shown, a passage is formed between the armrest box 200 and the auxiliary instrument panel 300, so that the driver or the co-driver can pass through the passage and escape from the door on the opposite side in time, thereby improving the safety of the passengers when an accident occurs in the vehicle 1000.

[0036] The first locking mechanism 20 can be arranged on the armrest box 200 or the vehicle body 100. For example, in some embodiments, the first locking mechanism 20 is arranged on the armrest box 200, and the locking portion of the first locking mechanism 20 is connected to the guide rail 10, which can be connected by means of buckle, magnetism, hooking, etc., and the present application does not limit it. When the first locking mechanism 20 is in use, the locking portion is separated from the guide rail 10, and the armrest box 200 drives the first locking mechanism 20 to pop out backwards together under the elastic force of the elastic member 30. For another example, in some other embodiments, the first locking mechanism 20 is arranged on the vehicle body 100, and the locking portion of the first locking mechanism 20 is connected to the armrest box 200, which can be connected by means of buckle, magnetism, hooking, etc., and the present application does not limit it. When the first locking mechanism 20 is in use, the locking portion is separated from the armrest box 200, and the armrest box 200 pops out backwards under the elastic force of the elastic member 30.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first locking mechanism 20 is disposed on the vehicle body 100 and is operably connected to the armrest box 200. The first locking mechanism 20 includes a first driving member and a hook driven by the first driving member. The armrest box 200 is correspondingly provided with a hook position for hanging the hook. The movement of the hook can be to swing up and down in a vertical plane, or to swing left and right in a horizontal plane, or to extend or retract in a horizontal direction. Correspondingly, the first driving member can be a motor, a servo, an electric telescopic rod, a cylinder, an electromagnet, etc. The specific structure and working form of the first locking mechanism 20 are not limited in this application.

[0038] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the number of guide rails 10 is more than two, and the more than two guide rails 10 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the vehicle 1000 and are parallel to the length direction of the vehicle 1000. A slider 60 is correspondingly provided on the guide rail 10, and the slider 60 of the multiple guide rails 10 can be an integral slider 60, and the center of the bottom of the armrest box 200 is concave to accommodate the slider 60, and the slider 60 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the armrest box 200, so that the armrest box 200 slides more smoothly, and the gap between the bottom of the armrest box 200 and the floor of the vehicle 1000 is small, which is not easy for consumers to find, and the appearance is better. Of course, in other embodiments, each guide rail 10 may be provided with more than one slider 60, so that the multiple guide rails 10 and sliders 60 can adapt to the special structure of the bottom of the armrest box 200. For example, the bottom of the armrest box 200 is in a convex shape, the guide rail 10 is arranged on the side of the bottom of the armrest box 200, and the slider 60 is fixedly connected to the side of the bottom of the armrest box 200. This connection method can prevent foreign objects from entering between the guide rail 10 and the armrest box 200.

[0039] See also Figure 2In some embodiments, the armrest box mounting structure further includes an elastic limit pin 50; the elastic limit pin 50 is mounted on the vehicle body 100 and is located below the armrest box 200. When the armrest box 200 is separated from the auxiliary instrument panel 300 by a set distance, the elastic limit pin 50 extends under the action of elastic force to limit the armrest box 200 and restrict the armrest box 200 from retracting. At this time, the occupants of the vehicle can escape immediately without manual operation, which reduces the escape time and improves safety. In particular, when the posture of the vehicle 1000 is abnormal, such as when the front of the vehicle is facing downward, the elastic limit pin 50 can prevent the armrest box 200 from retracting back to the auxiliary instrument panel 300 again under the action of gravity.

[0040] When the first locking mechanism 20 locks the armrest box 200 and the guide rail 10, the bottom surface of the armrest box 200 or the bottom surface of the slider 60 presses against the elastic limit pin 50, and the elastic limit pin 50 does not extend. Only when the armrest box 200 moves to expose the elastic limit pin 50 to the outside, the elastic limit pin 50 can extend and limit the armrest box 200 from moving further. If the armrest box 200 is installed on the slider 60, when the armrest box 200 drives the slider 60 to move, and the slider 60 moves to the rear of the elastic limit pin 50, the elastic limit pin 50 can extend and limit the armrest box 200 from moving further.

[0041] In some embodiments, a limiting hole may be provided at the bottom of the armrest box 200. When the armrest box 200 is separated from the auxiliary instrument panel 300 by a set distance, the elastic limiting pin 50 extends into the limiting hole under the action of elastic force to limit the retraction of the armrest box 200. Only when the armrest box 200 moves to the point where the limiting hole is located above the elastic limiting pin 50, the elastic limiting pin 50 can be extended to limit the armrest box 200 from continuing to move.

[0042] It is understandable that when the bottom of the armrest box 200 is connected to the slider 60, the limit hole can also be set in the slider 60. Then, there is no need to change the structure of the armrest box 200 itself, and the vehicle 1000 can be directly modified on the basis of the existing vehicle 1000. The specific structure of the elastic limit pin 50 can refer to the current spring pin, and its structural principle is similar to the spring pin in the telescopic rod of the folding umbrella. For more detailed content, refer to the relevant disclosure of the prior art, and this application does not limit it.

[0043] The functions of the armrest box 200 in the current vehicle 1000 are increasing. In addition to conventional storage and air conditioning outlets, charging ports and even display screens and operation panels are also installed, which require wiring in the armrest box 200. In the prior art, the wiring harness is usually directly led out from the auxiliary instrument panel 300 and inserted into the armrest box 200. Considering that the armrest box 200 needs to be bounced back in extreme cases, it is also necessary to consider how to handle the connectors of the armrest box 200 wiring harness and the front wiring harness when moving.

[0044] In some embodiments, the armrest box 200 is provided with an electrically connected electronic device and a first wire harness 210, and the auxiliary instrument panel 300 is provided with a second wire harness 310 electrically connected to the first wire harness 210. The first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310 are electrically connected by plugging or other known detachable wire harness connection methods. Considering the movement of the armrest box 200, the first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310 should be easy to plug and unplug to avoid interfering with the movement of the armrest box 200. However, a small plug-in and unplug force will cause the first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310 to be unstable, and may be loosened when the vehicle 1000 is bumpy.

[0045] To do this, see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the armrest box installation structure further includes a second locking mechanism 40, and the second locking mechanism 40 is used to lock the first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310. The second locking mechanism 40 can be set on any one of the vehicle body 100, the armrest box 200, and the auxiliary instrument panel 300, and can ensure that the first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310 are stably connected. For example, in some embodiments, the second locking mechanism 40 is set on the auxiliary instrument panel 300, and acts on the first wire harness 210 to maintain the connection between the first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310. For another example, in other embodiments, the second locking mechanism 40 is set on the armrest box 200, and acts on the second wire harness 310 to maintain the connection between the first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310. In other embodiments, the second locking mechanism 40 is set on the floor of the vehicle body 100, and acts on the first wire harness 210 and / or the second wire harness 310 to maintain the connection between the first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310.

[0046] The second locking mechanism 40 may be a clamp or a limit pin. Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second locking mechanism 40 includes a second driving member 41 and a clamp 42 driven by the second driving member 41, and the clamp 42 clamps the first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310 respectively. The movement of the clamp 42 can be to move along the length direction or width direction of the vehicle 1000 to clamp or loosen the wire harness. Correspondingly, the first driving member can be an electromagnet, an electric telescopic rod, a cylinder, etc. When the second locking mechanism 40 is unlocked, the second locking mechanism 40 can be separated from the first wire harness 210 and / or the second wire harness 310 without interfering with the relative movement of the first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310; or the second locking mechanism 40 can drive the first wire harness 210 and / or the second wire harness 310 to move relative to each other so that the first wire harness 210 and the second wire harness 310 are plugged in or separated. The specific structure and working form of the second locking mechanism 40 are not limited in this application.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2According to a second embodiment of the present application, a vehicle 1000 is provided, including a vehicle body 100, and an armrest box 200, a sub-instrument panel 300 and an armrest box mounting structure of any embodiment of the first embodiment installed on the vehicle body 100. A control module is provided in the vehicle body 100, and the control module is electrically connected to the power element of the first locking mechanism 20.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first locking mechanism 20 includes a first driving member and a hook driven by the first driving member, and the control module is electrically connected to the first driving member. In some embodiments, the second wiring harness 310 of the auxiliary instrument panel 300 is electrically connected to the first wiring harness 210 of the armrest box 200 through a plug-in connector, and the armrest box mounting structure also includes a second locking mechanism 40, and the second locking mechanism 40 includes a second driving member and a clamp driven by the second driving member, and the control module is also electrically connected to the second driving member.

[0049] The function of the control module is to determine whether the vehicle 1000 has a serious collision, rollover, or overturn, and when it is identified that the vehicle 1000 has a serious collision, rollover, or overturn, it sends a command to the power element of the first locking mechanism 20, or the power element of the first locking mechanism 20 and the power element of the second locking mechanism 40 both send commands, so that the first locking mechanism 20 and the second locking mechanism 40 are unlocked, and the armrest box 200 pops out backwards.

[0050] See also Figure 5 The third aspect of the present application provides a control method for the vehicle 1000 according to the second aspect, comprising the following steps:

[0051] The control module determines whether the vehicle 1000 meets the preset collision conditions. If the preset collision conditions are met, the control module controls the first locking mechanism 20 to unlock, so that the armrest box 200 slides along the length direction of the vehicle 1000 under the action of the elastic member 30 and is separated from the auxiliary instrument panel 300 by a set distance.

[0052] The control module determines whether the vehicle 1000 meets the preset collision conditions by collecting signals from sensors such as the vehicle 1000's own acceleration sensor and the body 100 posture sensor, and determines through preset judgment logic whether the vehicle 1000 has a serious collision or rollover, overturning, etc., which requires the occupants to quickly escape from the vehicle 1000.

[0053] Of course, in some embodiments, an emergency button may also be provided on the vehicle 1000. When the emergency button is pressed, the control module receives the signal of the emergency button and also determines that the vehicle 1000 meets the preset collision condition. The emergency button should be provided near the main driver's seat or the co-driver's seat to prevent rear passengers (especially children) from accidentally triggering it. For example, the emergency button may be provided in the middle of the auxiliary instrument panel 300, between the main driver's seat and the co-driver's seat.

[0054] See also Figure 5 , shows a logic diagram of the control method in some embodiments. In these embodiments, the preset collision condition is at least one of the forward acceleration a of the vehicle body 100 being greater than the first set value a2, the lateral acceleration b of the vehicle body 100 being greater than the second set value b2, the rearward acceleration c of the vehicle body 100 being greater than the third set value c2, and the absolute value of the roll angle d of the vehicle body 100 being greater than the fourth set value d0.

[0055] That is, as long as at least one of the above four conditions is met, the control module determines that the vehicle 1000 meets the preset collision condition. Among the above four conditions, the judgment conditions of the forward acceleration a of the vehicle body 100, the lateral acceleration b of the vehicle body 100 and the rearward acceleration c of the vehicle body 100 are usually used to judge whether the vehicle 1000 has collided; the judgment condition of the roll angle d of the vehicle body 100 is usually used to judge whether the vehicle 1000 has overturned or rolled.

[0056] The control module receives the collision, rollover and rollover signals of the vehicle. The collision signals are divided into multiple levels according to the acceleration. For example, they can be divided into two levels. Figure 5 , when a1<car body 100 forward acceleration a≤a2, and b1<car body 100 lateral acceleration b≤b2, and c1<car body 100 rearward acceleration c≤c2, the collision signal level is low; when car body 100 forward acceleration a>a2, or car body 100 lateral acceleration b>b2, or car body 100 rearward acceleration c>c2, the collision signal level is high. When the control module receives a low-level collision signal, it does not issue a pop-up command, and only issues a high-level collision signal. Among them, a1, a2, b1, b2, c1, and c2 are related to the vehicle model and need to be determined after calibration and testing. The rollover and side-turnover signals are judged according to the roll angle of the car body 100. When the absolute value of the roll angle of the car body 100 d>d0, it is considered that the vehicle 1000 will roll over or over, and a pop-up command is issued.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the forward acceleration of the vehicle body 100 a≤a1, the lateral acceleration of the vehicle body 100 b≤b1, the backward acceleration of the vehicle body 100 c≤c1, and the absolute value of the roll angle of the vehicle body 100 d≤d0 are satisfied, it is generally considered that the vehicle 1000 is in a normal driving state, and the control module does not issue a pop-up command.

[0058] In the case where the armrest box 200 is provided with a first wiring harness 210, the auxiliary instrument panel 300 is provided with a second wiring harness 310, and the armrest box mounting structure further includes a second locking mechanism 40, and the second locking mechanism 40 is electrically connected to the control module, when the preset collision condition is met, the control module controls the second locking mechanism 40 and the first locking mechanism 20 to be unlocked in sequence. It can be that the control module first sends a pop-up command to the second locking mechanism 40, and the second locking mechanism 40 is unlocked in response to the command, at which time the first wiring harness 210 and the second wiring harness 310 can still maintain the plug-in state, but the plug-in force is small; it can also be that when the second locking mechanism 40 is unlocked, it drives the first wiring harness 210 and the second wiring harness 310 to move relative to each other and separate. The control module then sends a pop-up command to the first locking mechanism 20, and the first locking mechanism 20 is unlocked in response to the command. The armrest box 200 and its first wiring harness 210 pop out backwards together under the elastic force of the elastic member 30, so that the armrest box 200 is separated from the auxiliary instrument panel 300 by a set distance, and the first wiring harness 210 is separated from the second wiring harness 310. After the first wiring harness 210 is separated from the second wiring harness 310, the armrest box 200 is powered off.

[0059] In other embodiments, when the preset collision condition is met, the control module simultaneously sends an opening instruction to the second locking mechanism 40 and the first locking mechanism 20, and the second locking mechanism 40 is unlocked immediately in response to the instruction. The first locking mechanism 20 is unlocked after a delay in response to the instruction.

[0060] The second locking mechanism 40 is unlocked before the first locking mechanism 20 to ensure that the first wiring harness 210 and the second wiring harness 310 can be easily separated when the armrest box 200 pops out, thereby preventing the first wiring harness 210 and / or the second wiring harness 310 from being torn or broken due to the second locking mechanism 40 not being unlocked and the armrest box 200 pops out.

[0061] It is understandable that in other embodiments, it may also be configured that when a preset collision condition is met, the control module controls the second locking mechanism 40 and the first locking mechanism 20 to be unlocked simultaneously.
