Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vehicle technology, specifically relating to an installation structure for a display screen based on an electronic exterior rearview mirror system, and a vehicle equipped with such an installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Car rearview mirrors are often referred to as the driver's "third eye." As in-vehicle products become increasingly electronic and intelligent, the luster of traditional optical rearview mirrors is fading, while electronic exterior rearview mirror systems that combine aesthetics and cutting-edge smart technology are gaining popularity in the industry.

[0003] CMS is an abbreviation for Camera Monitor System. In automotive applications, it generally refers to the electronic exterior rearview mirror system. Typically, an external camera captures the field of view, which is then processed by the electronic control unit (ECU), and finally displayed on a monitor to provide the driver with the view. It can also integrate functions such as blind spot warning and obstacle indication.

[0004] Currently, most electronic exterior rearview mirror systems have displays installed inside the vehicle, such as on the A-pillar or door panels. These systems have the following drawbacks: the displays are exposed inside the vehicle and are located in prominent positions such as the doors or A-pillars, making them easily damaged or contaminated. This can result in the inability to display or fully display the image within the rear field of vision while driving, creating a driving safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a display screen installation structure and vehicle, aiming to solve the problem that the display screen in the current electronic rearview mirror system is exposed inside the vehicle, which is easily contaminated and damaged, thus causing driving safety hazards.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a display screen mounting structure is provided, comprising: a display screen and a movable cover plate, wherein the display screen is mounted on a vehicle interior panel; the movable cover plate can be slid to cover the display screen under the drive of a sliding drive mechanism, or slid to be hidden inside the interior panel, exposing the display screen; the sliding drive mechanism is hiddenly installed inside the interior panel and connected to the movable cover plate.

[0007] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, the sliding drive mechanism includes a drive unit and a guide unit that slides in cooperation with the movable cover plate; the drive unit is connected to the movable cover plate, and the movable cover plate slides in cooperation with the guide unit.

[0008] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, the drive unit includes a drive motor, a drive wheel connected to the drive motor, and a rack meshing with the drive wheel, wherein the movable cover plate is connected to the rack; the drive motor is mounted on the interior panel or the vehicle body frame.

[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, the guide unit includes two guide rails parallel to the sliding direction, and the opposite sides of the movable cover plate are slidably engaged with the guide rails; the guide rails are fixed to the inner side of the interior panel.

[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, the guiding unit further includes a reinforcing plate and a connecting beam fixed between the two guide rails, wherein the reinforcing plate and the connecting beam form a window for the exposed display screen.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, the movable cover plate is provided with elastic protrusions that elastically abut against the two guide rails.

[0012] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, the mounting structure further includes a decorative frame fixed around the window.

[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, a snap-fit ​​connector is provided on the inner side of the decorative frame, and a snap-fit ​​hole for snapping the snap-fit ​​connector is provided on the guide rail.

[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, a snap-fit ​​protrusion is provided inside the snap-fit ​​hole, and a snap-fit ​​interface is provided on the snap-fit ​​connector to snap into the snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the installation structure of the display screen provided by this invention has the following advantages: It constructs a movable cover plate that can shield the in-vehicle display screen. When the vehicle is parked and the engine is off, and the display screen is not needed, a sliding drive mechanism drives the movable cover plate to slide to the outside of the display screen, shielding it. The movable cover plate protects the display screen, preventing damage or contamination that could lead to blurred or unreadable images and potential driving hazards. When the vehicle is started and moving, the sliding drive mechanism can move the movable cover plate to the inside of the interior trim panel, ensuring the display screen can still display images and providing a clear view for driving safety.

[0016] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a vehicle including the aforementioned display screen mounting structure.

[0017] The vehicle provided by this invention uses a movable cover that can shield the display screen, thus avoiding damage or contamination caused by the exposed display screen and ensuring that the display screen can clearly and completely display the captured field of view image, greatly improving driving safety.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 14 The installation structure of the display screen provided by the present invention will now be described. The installation structure of the display screen includes a display screen 4 and a movable cover plate 3. The display screen 4 is installed on the vehicle interior panel 5. The movable cover plate 3 can slide under the drive of the sliding drive mechanism 8 to cover the display screen 4, or slide to be hidden inside the interior panel 5, exposing the display screen 4. The sliding drive mechanism 8 is hidden inside the interior panel 5 and connected to the movable cover plate 3.

[0036] The installation structure of the display screen 4 provided by the present invention includes a movable cover 3 that can cover the display screen 4 inside the vehicle. When the vehicle is parked and the engine is off and the display screen 4 is not needed, the sliding drive mechanism 8 drives the movable cover 3 to slide to the outside of the display screen 4, covering the display screen 4. The movable cover 3 protects the display screen 4 and can prevent the display screen 4 from being damaged or contaminated, which would lead to blurry or undisplayed images and cause driving hazards. When the vehicle is started and driving, the movable cover 3 can be moved to the inside of the interior panel 5 by the sliding drive mechanism 8 to ensure that the display screen 4 can display images and provide a clear view for driving safety.

[0037] Optionally, the display screen 4 is arranged on the interior panel of the A-pillar or the interior panel of the side door. For example, in Embodiment 1, a window for the exposed display screen 4 is provided on the interior panel of the side door, the display screen 4 is mounted on the side door, and the movable cover 3 is hidden between the outer panel of the side door and the interior panel of the side door; in Embodiment 2, a window for the exposed display screen 4 is provided on the interior panel of the A-pillar, and the display screen 4 is mounted on the interior panel of the A-pillar.

[0038] It should be noted that the term "hidden inside the interior panel 5" in this article refers to the space between the interior panel 5 and the outer body panel, corresponding to the exposed position of the display screen 4.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the sliding drive mechanism 8 includes a drive unit and a guide unit that slides in conjunction with the movable cover plate 3; the drive unit is connected to the movable cover plate 3, and the movable cover plate 3 slides in conjunction with the guide unit. The drive unit provides power for the reciprocating movement of the movable cover plate 3, and the guide unit restricts the travel trajectory of the movable cover plate 3.

[0040] Optionally, the drive unit can be electrically driven, pneumatically driven, or hydraulically driven. The drive unit can be arranged inside the interior panel 5 or on the door panel. The drive unit can also be manually operated, by pulling the movable cover 3 from the inside of the interior panel 5 to the outside of the display screen 4 or pushing it into the inside of the interior panel 5.

[0041] It can be driven by electricity, pneumatic or hydraulic force, and can be connected to the vehicle computer ECU to achieve automatic control. Manual operation can be used as a backup when the automatic control fails. Therefore, protective textures or ridges for hand touch can be set on the outer side of the movable cover 3 to facilitate the pushing action of the hand.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the drive unit includes a drive motor, a drive wheel 82 connected to the drive motor, and a rack 81 meshing with the drive wheel 82. The movable cover plate 3 is connected to the rack 81. The drive motor is mounted on the interior panel 5 or the vehicle body frame. This embodiment is electrically driven, using the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor to drive the drive wheel 82 to rotate forward and reverse. The drive wheel 82 drives the meshing rack 81 to move linearly back and forth, thereby causing the movable cover plate 3 to cover the outside of the display screen 4 or hide inside the interior panel 5.

[0043] The connection between the movable cover plate 3 and the rack 81 can be achieved by bolting, snapping, or welding, ensuring the synchronous movement of the movable cover plate 3 and the rack 81.

[0044] The transmission method using a gear and rack 81, along with the excellent self-locking performance of the gear meshing, enables the movable cover plate 3 to achieve self-locking and self-positioning functions.

[0045] To enhance the support strength of the mounting position of the drive wheel 82 and prevent deformation in this area from affecting the meshing transmission with the rack 81, a support plate 83 is fixed on the interior panel 5 (e.g., Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the drive wheel 82 is connected to the support plate 83 by a shaft. This shaft is an integral structure with the main shaft of the drive motor, or it is connected as an integral unit by a coupling.

[0046] Alternatively, the electric drive can also employ a linear actuator such as an electric push rod. The electric push rod is mounted on the interior trim panel 5 or the inner door panel, and the movable cover 3 is fixedly connected to the electric push rod. Pneumatic drives use cylinders, and hydraulic drives use hydraulic cylinders. The actions of pneumatic and hydraulic drives are similar to those of the electric push rod in terms of movement and installation position, the difference being that these two types use gas or liquid as the power source to drive the cylinder rod in a reciprocating motion of extending or retracting.

[0047] Alternatively, the electric drive mode of the drive unit can also adopt chain drive or belt drive. The forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor drives the chain or belt to move back and forth, thereby causing the movable cover plate 3 connected to the chain or belt to cover the outside of the display screen 4.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 11 , Figure 13 As shown, the guide unit includes two guide rails 2 parallel to the sliding direction, and the opposite sides of the movable cover plate 3 are slidably fitted onto the guide rails 2; the guide rails 2 are fixed to the inner side of the interior panel 5. The two guide rails 2 have the function of guiding and limiting the movable cover plate 3, which can prevent the movable cover plate 3 from deviating and ensure that the movable cover plate 3 moves in the correct direction.

[0049] The guide rail 2 is fixed to the inside of the interior panel 5, and the guide rail 2 also provides auxiliary support and reinforcement for the area where the movable cover 3 moves. The guide rail 2 can be fixed by screws, clips, adhesive or welding.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 9 As shown, an integrally formed fixing block 7 is provided on the guide rail 2, and a BOSS pillar 72 is provided on the interior panel 5. The guide rail 2 is screwed together with the BOSS pillar 72 of the interior panel 5 by self-tapping screws 71, realizing a detachable connection between the two. Both guide rails 2 are provided with such fixing blocks 7, and the number of connection points can be set according to the size of the display screen 4; the connection between the guide rail 2 and the interior panel 5 can also be achieved by screw and snap-fit ​​engagement.

[0051] It should be explained that the movable cover 3 can move in a horizontal or vertical direction along the front-to-back and up-and-down directions of the vehicle body, or it can move in an inclined direction other than the front-to-back and up-and-down directions. The corresponding guide rails 2 can be arranged according to the direction of movement of the movable cover 3. The choice of the direction of movement of the movable cover 3 can be based on the actual environmental conditions such as the location of the display screen 4 and the available space at that location, so as to ensure the visibility of the display screen 4 and the harmony of the interior and exterior of the vehicle after its arrangement.

[0052] In addition, regarding the sliding fit structure between the movable cover plate 3 and the guide rail 2, at least the following two methods are optional: First, the guide rail 2 has a dovetail groove 23, a rectangular groove, or a T-shaped groove, and the movable cover plate 3 is provided with sliders or slide bars that cooperate with this groove structure on its side. The sliders are spaced apart and integrally formed on the movable cover plate 3, and the slide bars are integrally formed on the movable cover plate 3 and are provided along the entire length of the side of the movable cover plate 3; Second, conversely, the guide rail 2 is a dovetail block, a rectangular block, or a T-shaped block, and the movable cover plate 3 is provided with dovetail grooves, rectangular grooves, or T-shaped grooves that cooperate with these sliders on its side.

[0053] To ensure a tight contact between the movable cover plate 3 and the guide rail 2, two elastic protrusions 32 arranged in a V-shape are provided on the side of the movable cover plate 3 near the connecting beam (e.g., Figure 14 As shown, the two elastic protrusions 32 are tightly fitted within the guide rail 2 by the pressing elasticity of the guide rail 2, ensuring the tight fit between the movable cover plate 3 and the guide rail 2, and avoiding the problem of the movable cover plate 3 colliding and making abnormal noises when sliding.

[0054] Optionally, a figure-eight guide portion 33 (e.g., ...) is also provided on the side of the movable cover plate 3 opposite to the elastic protrusion 32. Figure 14 As shown), one of the guide parts 33 is connected to the rack 81.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 11 , Figure 13 As shown, the guide unit also includes a reinforcing plate 1 and a connecting beam fixed between the two guide rails 2. The reinforcing plate 1 and the connecting beam form a window for the exposed display screen 4. The guide rails 2 extend to opposite sides of the window. The guide rails 2, the reinforcing plate 1, and the connecting beam form the frame of the window, improving the support strength of the window area.

[0056] Optionally, the guide rail 2 is also provided with a slot 21 on the inner side of the window (e.g., Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 10As shown, the display screen 4 can be pushed into and locked into the slot 21; the display screen 4 is also integratedly installed using the guide rail 2, making the structure compact, easy to install, and space-saving. A limiting plate 6 is also provided on the side near the connecting beam. The limiting plate 6 is fixed on the guide rail 2, and the display screen 4 is located outside the limiting plate 6. The limiting plate 6 has the function of supporting and limiting the display screen 4.

[0057] The reinforcing plate 1 is closely attached to the interior panel 5, which strengthens the area, supports the movable cover 3, limits the spacing of the guide rail 2, and supports the guide rail 2. It can prevent the guide rail 2, interior panel 5, etc. in this area from deforming, ensure the smooth reciprocating movement of the movable cover 3, avoid the movable cover 3 from getting stuck, and avoid the problem that the movable cover 3 cannot be opened (exposed display screen 4) or cannot be closed (obstructing display screen 4).

[0058] Optionally, multiple reinforcing ribs 24 are also distributed on the guide rail 2 (e.g., Figure 6 and Figure 8 ), to enhance the support strength of guide rail 2.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 11 , Figure 13 As shown, the reinforcing plate 1 is provided with mesh holes 11. The shape of the mesh holes 11 can be polygonal, elliptical, circular, etc., which can improve the support strength of the movable cover plate 3 while also having the function of lightweighting, thus avoiding increasing the weight of the whole vehicle.

[0060] Better, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, a reinforcing rib 31 is also provided on the inner side of the movable cover plate 3 to enhance its own strength. The reinforcing rib 31 is designed in a grid shape to ensure that the movable cover plate 3 is subjected to uniform force at different positions, and to avoid the problem that the movable cover plate 3 will be unable to be pushed or pulled out along the guide rail 2 due to deformation.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, the installation structure also includes a decorative frame 9 fixed around the window. The decorative frame 9 can hide the guide rail 2 on the inside, which not only serves a decorative purpose, but also fits snugly with the movable cover plate 3, acting as a buffer.

[0062] Preferably, the decorative frame 9 can be fixed by relying on the guide rail 2 and simply attached to the interior panel 5. Since the interior panel 5 is relatively weak, the decorative frame 9 is not directly fixed to the interior panel 5, which also avoids structural damage to the interior panel 5.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the inner side of the decorative frame 9 is provided with a snap-fit ​​connector 91, and the guide rail 2 is provided with snap-fit ​​holes 22 for snap-fitting the snap-fit ​​connector 91. The decorative frame 9 and the guide rail 2 are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, making the assembly of the decorative frame 9 simple and convenient.

[0064] Among them, such as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the guide rail 2 has a thickened part 25 at the position corresponding to the window, and multiple snap-fit ​​holes 22 are provided on the thickened part 25. Correspondingly, multiple snap-fit ​​connectors 91 are provided on the decorative frame 9. Through the cooperation of the multiple snap-fit ​​connectors 91 and the snap-fit ​​holes 22, the decorative frame 9 and the surface of the interior panel 5 are ensured to fit tightly.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, a snap-fit ​​protrusion 221 is provided inside the snap-fit ​​hole 22, and a snap-fit ​​interface 911 is provided on the snap-fit ​​connector 91 to engage with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 221. When the snap-fit ​​connector 91 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 22, the snap-fit ​​interface 911 engages with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 221, thereby restricting the displacement of the decorative frame 9 in three-dimensional directions such as front, back, left, right, up, and down, ensuring the firmness of the connection between the decorative frame 9 and the guide rail 2, and preventing the decorative frame 9 from partially lifting or falling off.

[0066] To facilitate the engagement of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 221 and the snap-fit ​​hole 22 and to prevent them from disengaging, a limiting protrusion 222 is also provided on the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 22 opposite to the snap-fit ​​protrusion 221 (e.g., ...). Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the limiting protrusions 222 are arranged in pairs and are located on both sides of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 221. When the snap-fit ​​connector 91 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 22, it will be squeezed by the limiting protrusions 222 and move closer to the snap-fit ​​protrusion 221.

[0067] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​connector 91 has a flat, tongue-shaped structure, and the corresponding snap-fit ​​hole 22 is a rectangular hole, which facilitates the insertion of the snap-fit ​​connector 91.

[0068] Optionally, such as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the decorative frame 9 is provided with guide heads 92 and limiting heads 95 on both sides of the guide rail 2. The thickened part 25 of the guide rail 2 is provided with guide holes 27 and limiting holes 26 that cooperate with the guide heads 92 and limiting heads 95. The guide heads 92 and limiting heads 95 are both rectangular structures, and the limiting head 95 is provided with a limiting notch 951, which cooperates with the protrusion 261 in the limiting hole 26. The limiting hole 26 is also provided with a limiting rib 262, which is located on both sides of the protrusion 261 and has the function of limiting the cooperation between the limiting head 95 and the protrusion 261.

[0069] It can be seen that the decorative frame 9 achieves both convenience and firmness in assembling with the guide rail 2 through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​connector 91, the guide head 92, and the limiting head 95.

[0070] It should be noted that the decorative frame 9 also has two opposite sides that are respectively snapped onto the connecting beam and the reinforcing plate 1. The connecting beam has snap-fit ​​holes 22 with the same structure as those on the guide rail 2, and the reinforcing plate 1 has positioning notches 12. Correspondingly, the decorative frame 9 has positioning connectors 93 that extend into the positioning notches 12. Figures 11 to 13 As shown. A limiting groove 13 is also provided on the inner side of the reinforcing plate 1, and a limiting insert 94 that mates with the limiting groove 13 is provided on the corresponding decorative frame 9, as shown. Figures 11 to 13 As shown.

[0071] Different fixing structures are arranged around the decorative frame 9 to facilitate installation of the decorative frame 9 onto the window from the outside. When installing the decorative frame 9, first tilt the decorative frame 9 and insert the protrusion 261 and the limiting plate 94 into the corresponding limiting notch 951 and limiting groove 13. At the same time, keep the remaining snap-fit ​​connectors 91 in the position corresponding to the snap-fit ​​holes 22. Then, using one side of the reinforcing plate 1 as a fulcrum, gradually insert each snap-fit ​​connector 91 into the snap-fit ​​hole 22 from near to far. Finally, press the snap-fit ​​connector 91 corresponding to the connecting beam into the snap-fit ​​hole 22, and then press the decorative frame 9 evenly around the perimeter.
