DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] The present embodiment relates to a central control screen in a vehicle smart cockpit. The central control screen is divided according to its installation form, and specifically can be a fixed central control screen or a rotating central control screen, etc. The present embodiment does not give an example of the installation form of the central control screen.

[0032] The present embodiment specifically relates to the physical buttons of the central control screen. The structural features of the physical buttons of the central control will be first introduced below.

[0033] like Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram of the structure of the central control physical buttons. Figure 2 The following is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the central control physical buttons. Figure 3 The diagram shows the signal transmission between the trigger, controller and central control screen. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, each key mark has a corresponding first fixing member. Figure 5 Shown Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the local enlarged structure of Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the connection structure between the key mark and the first fixing member. Figure 7 The figure shows a bottom view of the connection between the key mark and the first fixing member. Figure 8 The following is a schematic diagram of a structure in which a key mark is located on a physical key. Fig. 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a structure in which key marks are located on a first fixing member. Fig.10 Shown is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the central control physical buttons.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the central control physical buttons include a mounting base 1, an electronic control board 2 and at least one physical button 3, wherein the electronic control board 2 is installed on the mounting base 1 and has at least one trigger 21 and a controller 22, the trigger 21 and the controller 22 are signal-connected, the controller 22 is signal-connected to the central control screen 4, the signal connection between the controller 22 and the central control screen 4 can be by a signal transmission line or by a Bluetooth connection, and this embodiment does not limit the method of signal connection between the controller 22 and the central control screen 4.

[0035] The physical buttons 3 are mounted on the mounting base 1 and correspond one to one with the triggers 21, wherein the physical buttons 3 may be one, two, three or more, for example, Figure 1 As shown, there are ten physical keys 3 and, correspondingly, there are also ten triggers 21 .

[0036] In one example, the mounting base 1 has an inner cavity and at least one first through hole 11, the first through hole 11 is used to connect the inner cavity with the outside, the physical buttons 3 correspond one-to-one to the first through holes 11, and accordingly, there are ten first through holes 11 on the mounting base 1, and the electronic control board 2 is fixedly installed inside the inner cavity.

[0037] For example, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 1 may include a bottom shell 12 and an upper cover 13, wherein one side of the bottom shell 12 is open, and the upper cover 13 is mounted on the open surface to seal the open surface, and the electronic control board 2 is mounted in the inner cavity formed by the space between the bottom shell 12 and the upper cover 13, and the ten first through holes 11 are all located on the upper cover 13. The electronic control board 2 may be fixedly connected to the bottom shell 12, or may be fixedly connected to the upper cover 13.

[0038] It should be noted that the fixed connection between the electronic control board 2 and the bottom shell 12 or the upper cover 13 can be detachable or non-detachable. For example, it can be a detachable connection by means of a snap connection or screws, or a non-detachable connection by means of gluing.

[0039] For example, the inner surface of the upper cover 13 has a plurality of fixing seats 133, and both the fixing seats 133 and the bottom shell 12 have mounting holes 1331. The nut at the first end of the screw abuts against the bottom shell 12, and the second end passes through the mounting holes 1331 on the bottom shell 12 and the fixing seats 133 in turn. The mounting holes 1331 on the fixing seats 133 are threaded holes, so that the upper cover 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom shell 12.

[0040] This embodiment does not limit the specific fixing method of the electronic control board 2 and the bottom shell 12 or the upper cover 13 , and only needs to fix the electronic control board 2 in the inner cavity and ensure the stability of the electronic control board 2 between the bottom shell 12 and the upper cover 13 .

[0041] In addition, the present embodiment does not limit the specific fixing method between the bottom shell 12 and the upper cover 13, and any method that can achieve a detachable fixed connection between the bottom shell 12 and the upper cover 13 is sufficient. For example, the bottom shell 12 and the upper cover 13 can be connected by a snap connection or by screws.

[0042] The above is an introduction to the assembly method of the electronic control board 2 and the mounting base 1. The following introduces the assembly method of the physical button 3 and the mounting base 1, and the assembly method of the physical button 3 and the electronic control board 2.

[0043] In one example, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Fig.10 As shown, the physical key 3 is located in the first through hole 11, and the first end of the physical key 3 is located in the inner cavity, and the second end is located in the outside, and the first end of the physical key 3 is adapted to the trigger 21 so that the first end of the physical key 3 triggers the trigger 21 by pressing the second end of the physical key 3.

[0044] In one example, continue to refer to Fig.10 As shown, in order to make the first end of the physical key 3 trigger the trigger 21 when the second end of the physical key 3 is pressed, the trigger 21 is configured as a push switch 211, and the middle part between the first end and the second end of the physical key 3 is rotationally connected to the inner wall of the first through hole 11. In this way, when the second end of the physical key 3 is pressed, the first end of the physical key 3 rotates around the rotationally connected part. At the same time, the trigger 21 is set to be located at one end of the rotation trajectory of the first end of the physical key 3, and the pressing direction is tangent or nearly tangent to the rotation trajectory of the first end of the physical key 3. In this way, when the second end of the physical key 3 is pressed, the first end of the physical key 3 can press against the trigger 21 when it reaches one end of the rotation trajectory, so that the trigger 21 is triggered.

[0045] In one example, when the second end of the physical button 3 is pushed, the direction of the applied force can be parallel to the plane where the upper cover 13 is located. Compared with the push-type triggering method, it is more in line with the operation behavior and is simpler and more convenient.

[0046] In one example, in order to achieve a rotational connection between the middle part of the physical key 3 and the inner wall of the first through hole 11, the middle part of the physical key 3 has a first rotation structure 31, and the inner wall of the first through hole 11 has a second rotation structure. The rotational connection between the middle part of the physical key 3 and the inner wall of the first through hole 11 is achieved through the cooperation of the first rotation structure 31 and the second rotation structure.

[0047] In one example, one of the first rotating structure 31 in the middle of the physical key 3 and the second rotating structure on the inner wall of the first through hole 11 is a rotating shaft and the other is a rotating hole. For example, the first rotating structure 31 is a rotating hole and the second rotating structure is a rotating shaft. Fig.10 As shown, the first rotating structure 31 is a rotating shaft, and the second rotating structure is a rotating hole.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the physical button 3 is pressed, the trigger 21 transmits the triggered signal to the controller 22, and the controller 22 issues a control instruction corresponding to the physical button 3 to the central control screen 4 to execute the corresponding function of the physical button 3. The corresponding function of the physical button 3 can be modified by the function custom instruction received by the central control screen 4. Therefore, the user can modify the function corresponding to the physical button 3 to a function that needs to be used during driving but is relatively cumbersome to operate on the central control screen 4. The trigger 21 can be triggered directly by pressing the physical button 3 to make the controller 22 issue an instruction to execute the function, thereby realizing simple and quick use of the corresponding function and avoiding the risk of traffic accidents caused by the user's attention being distracted by cumbersome operations.

[0049] In one example, the central control physical button also includes at least one button mark 5 and a first fixing member 51. The button mark 5 and the mounting base 1 are detachably connected through the first fixing member 51. The button mark 5 corresponds to the physical button 3 one by one and is used to indicate the corresponding function of the physical button 3. Figure 1 Taking the ten physical keys 3 shown as an example, there are also ten key marks 5, and the key marks 5 are used to indicate the corresponding functions of the corresponding physical keys 3. Among them, the key marks 5 are all located next to the corresponding physical keys 3, for example, the key marks 5 can be located on the upper side or the lower side of the corresponding physical keys 3.

[0050] In an example, a plurality of button marks 5 can be detachably fixed on the mounting base 1 via a first fixing member 51 .

[0051] For example, two button marks 5 are detachably fixed to the mounting base 1 through a first fixing member 51, or three button marks 5 are detachably fixed to the mounting base 1 through a first fixing member 51, or ten button marks 5 are detachably fixed to the mounting base 1 through the same first fixing member 51.

[0052] Continue to refer Fig. 9 As shown, the first fixing member 51 includes a carrier plate 511 , and the carrier plate 511 of the first fixing member 51 and the mounting base 1 can be detachably fixedly connected by means of screws, buckles or magnetism.

[0053] In another example, each of the key signs 5 has a corresponding first fixing member 51 , and the key signs 5 can be detachably fixed on the mounting base 1 through the corresponding first fixing member 51 .

[0054] For example, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first fixing member 51 includes a carrier plate 511 and a guide rod 512 fixed to the back of the carrier plate 511. The upper cover 13 of the mounting base 1 has the same number of plug holes 131 as the number of key marks 5. For example, if the number of key marks 5 is ten, the number of plug holes 131 is also ten. At the same time, the spacing between the plug holes 131 is adapted to the size of the carrier plate 511 to avoid the carrier plates 511 from overlapping each other.

[0055] Each carrier plate 511 and the upper cover 13 are connected to each other in a detachable manner by means of screws, buckles or magnets.

[0056] For example Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the guide rod 512 is fixed to both sides of the back of the carrier 511, and the first weak magnets 513 are embedded on both sides of the back of the carrier 511 symmetrically, and the second weak magnets matching with them are also embedded on both sides of the symmetrical insertion holes 131 on the upper cover 13. When the guide rod 512 is inserted into the insertion hole 131, the first weak magnet 513 on the carrier 511 and the second weak magnet at the corresponding position on the upper cover 13 are adsorbed together, so that the carrier 511 is detachably connected to the upper cover 13. It should be pointed out that the guide rod 512 and the carrier 511 can be an integrally formed structural member, or two independent structural members fixed together by welding or clamping.

[0057] In another embodiment, for example Figure 8 As shown, the key mark 5 can also be detachably fixed to the physical key 3 by a fifth fixing member, the fifth fixing member can have the same structure as the first fixing member 51, and the second end of the physical key 3 has a structure adapted to the fifth fixing member, so that the key mark 5 can be detachably fixed to the second end of the physical key 3 by the fifth fixing member.

[0058] In one embodiment, the button mark 5 can be engraved on the surface of the carrier 511 by spraying, etching, etc., or fixed on the surface of the carrier 511 by welding, gluing, etc. This embodiment does not limit the installation method of the button mark 5 on the carrier 511, and it is sufficient to be able to fix the button mark 5 on the carrier 511 and allow the user to see it.

[0059] It should be noted that the back side of the carrier board 511 refers to the side facing the upper cover 13 after being assembled on the upper cover 13 . The front side is opposite to the back side and is the side facing away from the upper cover 13 .

[0060] As described above, after the function corresponding to the physical button 3 is modified, the old button mark 5 can be removed and replaced with a new button mark 5, so that the user can determine the function of the physical button 3, avoiding forgetting or uncertainty when it is needed, causing distraction while driving.

[0061] In one embodiment, the central control physical button further includes a logo cover plate 6 and a second fixing member 61 , and the logo cover plate 6 and the mounting base 1 are detachably connected via the second fixing member 61 .

[0062] In one example, the second fixing member 61 can be a buckle, a magnet, or a screw hole, etc., which are respectively arranged on the logo cover plate 6 and the mounting seat 1 and are adapted to each other. For example, the logo cover plate 6 has a third weak magnet on two symmetrical sides facing the upper cover 13, and the mounting groove 14 has a fourth weak magnet on two symmetrical sides. The connection between the first buckle and the second buckle can realize a detachable fixed connection between the logo cover plate 6 and the upper cover 13. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the second fixing member 61, and it is sufficient to realize a detachable fixed connection between the logo cover plate 6 and the mounting seat 1.

[0063] In one example, there is a gap between the logo cover plate 6 and the mounting base 1, and the key logo 5 is located in the gap.

[0064] For example, the logo cover plate 6 is in a cover shape and is covered on the mounting seat 1 to form a gap between the logo cover plate 6 and the mounting seat 1 for accommodating the logo cover plate 6. For another example, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer surface of the upper cover 13 has a mounting groove 14 , and the logo cover plate 6 is covered in the notch of the mounting groove 14 to form a gap between the logo cover plate 6 and the mounting seat 1 for accommodating the logo cover plate 6 .

[0065] It should be pointed out that the outer surface of the upper cover 13 refers to the side facing away from the inner cavity after being assembled on the bottom shell 12, and the inner surface is opposite to the outer surface and is located on the side facing the inner cavity.

[0066] In the above example, the logo cover plate 6 is at least partially made of a light-transmitting material or has a second through hole 62 , so that the key logo 5 can be seen through the logo cover plate 6 or the second through hole 62 .

[0067] For example, when the logo cover 6 is assembled on the upper cover 13 through the second fixing member 61, the part of the logo cover 6 facing the key logo 5 is made of a light-transmitting material or has a second through hole 62. For another example, the logo cover 6 can be made of a light-transmitting material except for the edge portion. For another example, the logo cover 6 can be made of a light-transmitting material as a whole. The light-transmitting material can be plastic or glass, etc. This embodiment does not limit the type of light-transmitting material, as long as it can transmit light. The guide rod 512 and the first weak magnet 513 on each carrier plate 511 are configured to be located on both sides of the light-transmitting area, for example Figure 7 As shown, the guide rod 512 and the first weak magnet 513 each include two located on both sides of the light-transmitting area.

[0068] As described above, the logo cover 6 can protect the button logo 5, preventing the button logo 5 from being accidentally knocked off and causing the user to be distracted during driving.

[0069] In one example, the logo cover 6 has a second through hole 62, the first end of the key logo 5 is located in the gap, the second end is located in the second through hole 62, and the second end surface of the key logo 5 smoothly transitions to the side surface of the logo cover 6 facing away from the mounting base 1.

[0070] Continue to refer Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first end of the key mark 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the carrier plate 511 located in the gap, and the second end face of the key mark 5 has a cover body, which is located in the second through hole 62 and smoothly transitions with the surface of the side of the mark cover plate 6 away from the mounting seat 1, and the function corresponding to the key mark 5 is sprayed on the surface of the cover body. The first end and the second end of the key mark 5 can be an integrally formed structural member, or two independent components fixed together by snaps, screws or bonding.

[0071] Since it is sometimes difficult for the user to avoid touching the upper cover 13 when pressing the physical key 3, the above can avoid the height difference between the upper cover 13 and the key mark 5, which would cause the user's hand to be scratched when accidentally touching the key mark 5, and can also display the key mark 5 clearly on the outer surface of the upper cover 13 without any obstruction.

[0072] In one example, the central control physical button also includes at least one indicator light 7, which is connected to the controller 22 signal and corresponds to the physical button 3 one by one. Figure 2 As shown, the physical buttons 3 include ten and the indicator lights 7 also include ten.

[0073] Among them, the corresponding function of the physical button 3 and the indicator light 7 are configured to have multiple states, and the state of the indicator light 7 corresponds one-to-one to the state of the corresponding function of the physical button 3. When the corresponding function of the physical button 3 is in a state, the controller 22 sends a control instruction corresponding to the state of the corresponding function of the physical button 3 to the indicator light 7 to make the indicator light 7 in the corresponding state.

[0074] For example, when the corresponding function of the physical button 3 is turned off, the controller 22 sends a control command to turn off the light to the indicator light 7, so that the corresponding indicator light 7 is turned off, indicating that the corresponding function of the physical button 3 has been turned off; when the corresponding function of the physical button 3 is turned on, the controller 22 sends a control command to turn on the light to the indicator light 7, so that the corresponding indicator light 7 is lit, indicating that the corresponding function of the physical button 3 has been turned on.

[0075] For another example, the corresponding function of the physical button 3 is to adjust the gear position of the intelligent cockpit ventilation system in the vehicle. When the ventilation system is not turned on, the controller 22 sends a control command to turn off the light to the indicator light 7, so that the corresponding indicator light 7 is turned off, indicating that the intelligent cockpit ventilation system is not turned on; when the gear position of the intelligent cockpit ventilation system in the vehicle is adjusted to the first gear, the controller 22 sends a control command to turn on the red light to the indicator light 7, so that the corresponding indicator light 7 turns on the red light, indicating that the intelligent cockpit ventilation system is in the first gear; when the gear position of the intelligent cockpit ventilation system in the vehicle is adjusted to the second gear, the controller 22 sends a control command to turn on the green light to the indicator light 7, so that the corresponding indicator light 7 turns on the green light, indicating that the intelligent cockpit ventilation system is in the second gear.

[0076] As described above, the state of the function corresponding to the corresponding physical button 3 can be indicated by the light color of the indicator light 7, thereby avoiding the driver's uncertainty when he needs to use it and causing distraction.

[0077] In one example, the indicator light 7 can be installed on the outer surface of the upper cover 13, next to the corresponding button mark 5, so that the user can more easily identify the physical button 3 corresponding to the indicator light 7 and its corresponding function.

[0078] In another example, reference Figure 2 As shown, it is installed on the electronic control board 2 and is located directly behind the corresponding key mark 5. The indicator light 7 is electrically connected to the electronic control board 2. The upper cover 13 has at least one third through hole 132. The third through hole 132 corresponds to the key mark 5 one by one and is located between the corresponding key mark 5 and the indicator light 7. The key mark 5 is arranged on the carrier board 511, and only the part where the key mark 5 is located can transmit light.

[0079] For example, the carrier plate 511 is made of a light-transmitting material, and the rest of the carrier plate 511 is sprayed and blocked to form a transparent area where the key mark 5 is located; for another example, the middle of the carrier plate 511 is hollowed out to form a light-transmitting key mark 5; for another example, the middle of the carrier plate 511 is hollowed out to set a shape that can transmit light and can represent the corresponding function of the physical key 3, and at the same time, a structural member of a light-transmitting material is set in the hollowed-out area to form a light-transmitting key mark 5. In this way, the brightness of the transmitted light can be reduced to a certain extent to avoid excessive glare. Among them, the light-transmitting material can be glass or plastic, etc. This embodiment does not limit the type of light-transmitting material, as long as it can transmit light and reduce the brightness of light to a certain extent.

[0080] It should be pointed out that the directly rear side of the key mark 5 refers to the side of the key mark 5 facing the upper cover 13 after being assembled on the upper cover 13 .

[0081] Compared with the previous example, this example not only enables the user to more conveniently identify the physical button 3 corresponding to the indicator light 7 and its corresponding function, but also enables the user to see the button mark 5 clearly at night or in dim light, which is beneficial for the user to identify the function of the corresponding physical button 3, and reduces the space occupied by the indicator light 7, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume of the central control physical buttons.

[0082] In one example, the trigger 21 and the physical button 3 each include a plurality, for example, ten, and the mounting base 1 is in a strip shape, for example, a rectangle or as shown in FIG. Figure 1 The illustrated trapezoidal shape has long fixed sides and bottom sides and short side sides. The specific shape of the mounting base 1 is not limited in this embodiment, as long as it is a long strip. The mounting base 1 is arranged along one side of the central control screen 4, and a plurality of physical buttons 3 are evenly arranged along the corresponding side of the central control screen 4. For example, the mounting base 1 is arranged along the bottom side, top side or side side of the central control screen 4. In this way, when a large number of physical buttons 3 are configured, on the one hand, the space occupied by the central control physical buttons can be reduced, and on the other hand, it is convenient for users to quickly find the corresponding physical buttons 3.

[0083] In one example, the central control physical button further includes a third fixing member 8, and the mounting base 1 and the central control screen 4 are detachably connected through the third fixing member 8. The third fixing member 8 includes a limiting slide rail 81 and a V-shaped elastic buckle 82 located at the first end of the limiting slide rail 81, the first end of the V-shaped elastic buckle 82 is fixedly connected to the first end of the limiting slide rail 81, and the second end is suspended, and one side of the central control screen 4 is provided with a limiting slide groove adapted to the limiting slide rail 81 and a V-shaped groove located at the first end of the limiting slide groove and adapted to the V-shaped elastic buckle 82.

[0084] For example, the limiting slide rail 81 can be set on the bottom shell 12. When installing the mounting base 1, the second end of the limiting slide rail 81 is inserted into the limiting slide groove until the middle part of the V-shaped elastic buckle 82 is buckled into the V-shaped groove to complete the installation; when disassembly is required, the second end of the V-shaped elastic buckle 82 is pushed to make the middle part of the V-shaped elastic buckle 82 disengage from the V-shaped groove, and the disassembly between the mounting base 1 and the central control screen 4 can be achieved by pulling out the limiting slide rail 81.

[0085] As described above, the mounting base 1 and the central control screen 4 can be assembled and separated at any time. When the user does not need the physical buttons of the central control, the physical buttons of the central control can be removed to reduce the occupied space and facilitate safe driving.

[0086] In one example, the central control physical button also includes a spring pin 9, and the electronic control board 2 and the central control screen 4 are detachably electrically connected through the spring pin 9. For example, the spring pin 9 can be set at the second end of the limit slide rail 81, and the second end of the limit slide groove on the central control screen 4 is provided with an electrical connection contact that matches the spring pin 9. When the second end of the limit slide rail 81 is inserted into the limit slide groove until the middle of the V-shaped elastic buckle 82 is buckled into the V-shaped groove to complete the installation, the spring pin 9 contacts the electrical connection contact and realizes electrical connection. In this way, the electronic control board 2 and the indicator light 7 can be powered by the central control screen 4. On the one hand, the central control physical button does not need to have its own power supply, reducing the size of the central control physical button. On the other hand, it avoids the need for electrical connection through cables, avoiding the user from accidentally hooking the cable when pressing the button, affecting driving safety.

[0087] In one example, the central control physical buttons also include a knob 10, and an operable encoder is installed on the electronic control panel. The knob 10 is connected to the operable encoder, and the operable encoder is connected to the controller 22 signal, so that the control functions of temperature increase and decrease and volume increase and decrease can be achieved by turning the knob 10.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the physical button 3 is pressed, the trigger 21 transmits the triggered signal to the controller 22, and the controller 22 issues a control instruction corresponding to the physical button 3 to the central control screen 4 to execute the corresponding function of the physical button 3. The corresponding function of the physical button 3 can be modified by the function custom instruction received by the central control screen 4. Therefore, the user can modify the function corresponding to the physical button 3 to a function that needs to be used during driving but is relatively cumbersome to operate on the central control screen 4. The trigger 21 can be triggered directly by pressing the physical button 3 to make the controller 22 issue an instruction to execute the function, thereby realizing simple and quick use of the corresponding function and avoiding the risk of traffic accidents caused by the user's attention being distracted by cumbersome operations.

[0089] This embodiment further provides a central control screen, and the central control screen 4 is suitable for signal connection with any of the triggers 21 and the controller 22 described above, for example, the central control screen 4 and the controller 22 are connected by Bluetooth or wired transmission, and the central control screen 4 has an application for sending custom instructions. When the central control screen 4 and the controller 22 are connected by Bluetooth, the corresponding function of the physical button 3 can be modified by the application.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the physical button 3 is pressed, the trigger 21 transmits the triggered signal to the controller 22, and the controller 22 issues a control instruction corresponding to the physical button 3 to the central control screen 4 to execute the corresponding function of the physical button 3. The corresponding function of the physical button 3 can be modified by the function custom instruction received by the central control screen 4. Therefore, the user can modify the function corresponding to the physical button 3 to a function that needs to be used during driving but is relatively cumbersome to operate on the central control screen 4. The trigger 21 can be triggered directly by pressing the physical button 3 to make the controller 22 issue an instruction to execute the function, thereby realizing simple and quick use of the corresponding function and avoiding the risk of traffic accidents caused by the user's attention being distracted by cumbersome operations.

[0091] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, characterized in that the vehicle includes any of the above-mentioned central control physical buttons.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the physical button 3 is pressed, the trigger 21 transmits the triggered signal to the controller 22, and the controller 22 issues a control instruction corresponding to the physical button 3 to the central control screen 4 to execute the corresponding function of the physical button 3. The corresponding function of the physical button 3 can be modified by the function custom instruction received by the central control screen 4. Therefore, the user can modify the function corresponding to the physical button 3 to a function that needs to be used during driving but is relatively cumbersome to operate on the central control screen 4. The trigger 21 can be triggered directly by pressing the physical button 3 to make the controller 22 issue an instruction to execute the function, thereby realizing simple and quick use of the corresponding function and avoiding the risk of traffic accidents caused by the user's attention being distracted by cumbersome operations.

[0093] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure should be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
