[0031] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] This embodiment relates to a sub-dashboard assembly capable of storing perfume, which can provide a suitable storage space for storing perfume in a vehicle; an exemplary structure thereof is as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.

[0034] In general, the auxiliary instrument panel assembly includes an auxiliary instrument panel housing 1, a storage slot 2 formed on the auxiliary instrument panel housing 1, a cover plate 3 provided at the notch of the storage slot 2, and a temperature control device 200 for adjusting the temperature inside the storage slot 2; wherein the cover plate 3 can be opened or closed. When the cover plate 3 is opened, perfume can be put into the storage slot 2, and when the cover plate 3 is closed, a closed space can be formed inside the cover plate 3.

[0035] Specifically, the cover plate 3 can be flipped open and closed, but preferably, the cover plate 3 of this embodiment can be slidably arranged at the notch, and the push-pull cover plate 3 can drive the cover plate 3 to open or close, and the cover plate 3 is provided with a push block 31 for pushing and pulling the cover plate 3. The cover plate 3 adopts a sliding opening and closing method, which is convenient for the user to open or close the cover plate 3 through the push block 31, which is conducive to improving the user's operation and use experience.

[0036] At the same time, the cover plate 3 is provided with an indicator light for indicating the operating status of the temperature regulating device 200; the push block 31 is made of transparent material, the indicator light is arranged below the push block 31, and can emit light to the top of the push block 31 through the push block 31. The indicator light is arranged below the push block 31, which can display the operating status of the temperature regulating device 200 in real time, so that the user can understand the temperature regulation in the storage tank 2 and the operating status of the temperature regulating device 200. For example, when the temperature in the storage tank 2 is adjusted to within the set temperature range, the temperature regulating device 200 can stop running, and the indicator light can display green. When the temperature in the storage tank 2 exceeds the set temperature range, the temperature regulating device 200 is running, and the indicator light can display red; of course, the user can freely set the display color of the indicator light, and the indicator light preferably uses an LED light source. In order to prevent the perfume in the storage tank 2 from being exposed to the sun, the cover plate 3 should of course be made of an opaque plate, for example, a plastic material; the push block 31 can be made of a transparent PC board material. In specific implementation, a small window can be opened on the cover 3, an indicator light can be set inside the push block 31, and the push block 31 can be fixed in the small window on the cover 3. The upper part of the push block 31 protrudes from the upper surface of the cover 3, which is convenient for users to push and pull.

[0037] In addition, a wireless charging module can be integrated on the cover plate 3. By integrating the wireless charging module on the cover plate 3, a mobile phone or the like can be conveniently charged; moreover, by virtue of the lower temperature in the storage slot 2, the temperature of the wireless charging module on the cover plate 3 can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the heating problem of the mobile phone charging.

[0038] There are of course many configuration forms for the temperature control device 200. In this embodiment, the temperature control device 200 includes a temperature control module and a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature in the storage tank 2. By configuring the temperature sensor, the temperature in the storage tank 2 can be understood in real time, and then the temperature in the storage tank 2 can be regulated by controlling the temperature control device 200, and the temperature in the storage tank 2 can be kept within a suitable temperature range, thereby providing a more suitable temperature condition for the storage of perfume. In specific configuration, the temperature control device 200 can be configured with two temperature control modules, refrigeration and heating. Among them, the refrigeration module can use a low-power semiconductor refrigeration chip, which can use a conventional product, for example, a semiconductor refrigeration chip with a model of TEC1-04903; the heating module can use a small electric heater. The temperature in the storage tank 2 can be set within a temperature range of 10°C to 27°C. Once the actual temperature exceeds the temperature range, the temperature control device 200 can be controlled to cool or heat to adjust the temperature back and control it within the set temperature range.

[0039] It should be noted that the cooling and heating modules of the above-mentioned temperature control device 200 are both low-power electrical components, which can be powered by the battery on the vehicle, and can ensure that the temperature in the storage tank 2 meets the storage requirements of the perfume even when the vehicle is in the off state. However, in order to save power, the auxiliary instrument panel assembly also includes an air supply pipeline 40 that is controllably connected between the storage tank 2 and the vehicle's air conditioning system 4; the air supply pipeline 40 is used to introduce the air outlet of the air conditioning system 4 into the storage tank 2. The air outlet of the vehicle's air conditioning system 4 is used to cool down the storage tank 2. The air conditioning system 4 can be used to control the temperature of the storage tank 2 when the vehicle is running, and the cooling module of the temperature control device 200 can be suspended to achieve energy saving.

[0040] In addition, a pressure sensor for detecting whether there is an object in the storage slot 2 is provided at the bottom of the storage slot 2 of the present embodiment, and a position sensor for detecting whether the cover 3 is closed can also be provided at the slot. The pressure sensor and the position sensor can detect whether there is perfume in the storage slot 2 and whether the cover 3 is in a closed state, so as to ensure that the temperature control device 200 operates when necessary and appropriate, and achieve a good constant temperature control effect.

[0041] In summary, the auxiliary instrument panel assembly capable of storing perfume in the present embodiment can conveniently store perfume in the storage slot 2 by providing a storage slot 2 on the auxiliary instrument panel shell 1 in the auxiliary instrument panel assembly and adding a cover 3 to the storage slot 2; after the cover 3 is closed, a closed space is formed inside the storage slot 2 to prevent the perfume from being exposed to the sun; the refrigeration effect of the temperature control device 200 can be used to reduce the temperature in the storage slot 2, thereby providing a suitable storage space with good storage conditions for the storage of perfume in the car, meeting the user's needs of storing perfume and using it at any time, and effectively preventing the perfume from deteriorating.
