Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a rotating central control display assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial display and control component in automobiles, the in-vehicle central control display screen provides drivers with information such as vehicle status, video images, and GPS location data through a human-machine interface, greatly enriching the driving experience. With the continuous development of science and technology, an increasing number of car models are adopting the design of rotating central control displays.

[0003] In related technologies, a vehicle-mounted central control display screen is installed in front of the dashboard. The central control display screen is fixed to the dashboard crossbeam by a rotating component and a fastening bracket, so that the angle of the central control display screen can be rotated and adjusted to facilitate the reading of vehicle information by the occupants of the vehicle.

[0004] However, since the rotating component is located inside the dashboard and connected to the crossbeam, the rotating component's axis is prone to limit problems when the central control display rotates, causing the central control display to collide with the dashboard. This necessitates the removal of part of the dashboard structure to avoid the central control display from rotating, thus affecting the dashboard's aesthetic appearance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a rotating central control display assembly to solve the problem in the prior art where the instrument panel needs to have part of its structure cut off to avoid the rotation of the central control display, which affects the aesthetic appearance of the instrument panel; the second objective is to provide a vehicle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A first aspect of the present invention provides a rotating central control display assembly, comprising: a display screen; a rotation drive mechanism, the rotation drive mechanism including a rotating shaft and a drive member, the rotating shaft being mounted on the outside of a vehicle's dashboard, and the rotating shaft being vertically connected to the drive member and extending in a vertical direction, the rotating shaft being configured to reciprocate circumferentially, the top end of the rotating shaft being rotatably connected to the display screen, the drive member being connected to the rotating shaft and being mounted on the inside of the dashboard, the drive member being used to drive the display screen to rotate left and right relative to the dashboard along the rotation direction of the rotating shaft.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0009] In one possible implementation, an adapter bracket is also included, which is connected to the back of the display screen and has a connecting portion in the vertical direction, the connecting portion being rotatably connected to the rotation axis.

[0010] In one possible implementation, a cover mechanism is also included, comprising an upper cover and a lower cover for connecting to the outside of the instrument panel, the lower cover forming a mounting chamber in which the rotating shaft is located.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the upper cover of the rotating shaft is detachably connected to the adapter bracket, and the edge of the upper cover of the rotating shaft overlaps with the edge of the lower cover of the rotating shaft.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the axes of the upper and lower covers of the rotating shaft are coaxial with the axis of the rotating shaft.

[0013] In one possible implementation, a baffle is also included, which is connected to the back of the display screen and is used to shield the adapter bracket.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a rotating bracket is also included, with a first end connected to the drive component and a second end for fixed connection to the tube beam of the vehicle.

[0015] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle including a vehicle body and the aforementioned rotating central control display assembly disposed on the vehicle body.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the system also includes an instrument panel with mounting holes, through which a rotating shaft in the rotating central control display assembly passes and is rotatably connected to the display.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the distance between the display screen and the dashboard is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm.

[0018] This application provides a rotating central control display assembly and a vehicle. The rotating drive mechanism in the rotating central control display assembly increases the rotation angle of the display by setting the rotating shaft on the outside of the dashboard and rotatably connecting the display to the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is set to extend vertically and is configured to reciprocate along its own circumference. The display is connected to the end of the rotating shaft. Under the drive of the drive component, the rotating shaft rotates left and right in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, thereby causing the left and right sides of the display connected to the rotating shaft to rotate left and right relative to the dashboard. There is a gap between the display and the dashboard with the rotating shaft to avoid collision between the display and the dashboard when the display rotates. This allows the dashboard to be completely installed on the vehicle body without removing part of the space to avoid the display, which helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0030] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] As shown in the background section, a vehicle central control display screen is located in front of the dashboard. The central control display screen is fixed to the dashboard crossbeam by a rotating component and a fastening bracket, so that the angle of the central control display screen can be rotated and adjusted to facilitate the reading of vehicle information by the occupants of the vehicle.

[0032] However, since the rotating component is located inside the dashboard and connected to the crossbeam, the rotating component's axis is prone to limit problems when the central control display rotates, causing the central control display to collide with the dashboard. This necessitates the removal of part of the dashboard structure to avoid the central control display from rotating, thus affecting the dashboard's aesthetic appearance.

[0033] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a rotating central control display assembly and a vehicle. The rotating central control display assembly includes a display screen and a rotating drive mechanism. The rotating drive mechanism includes a rotating shaft and a drive member. The rotating shaft is mounted on the outside of the vehicle's dashboard and is vertically connected to the drive member, extending in a vertical direction. The rotating shaft is configured to reciprocate around its circumference. The top end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the display screen. The drive member is connected to the rotating shaft and mounted on the inside of the dashboard. The drive member drives the display screen to rotate left and right relative to the dashboard along the rotation direction of the rotating shaft. The vehicle includes a vehicle body and the aforementioned rotating central control display assembly mounted on the vehicle body.

[0034] The rotating drive mechanism in this rotating central control display assembly increases the rotation angle of the display by placing the rotating shaft on the outside of the dashboard and rotatably connecting the display to the rotating shaft. Furthermore, the rotating shaft extends vertically and is configured to reciprocate around its own circumference. The display is connected to the end of the rotating shaft. Driven by the drive unit, the rotating shaft rotates left and right in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, thereby causing the left and right sides of the display connected to the rotating shaft to rotate left and right relative to the dashboard. The presence of a rotating shaft between the display and the dashboard prevents collisions during rotation, allowing the dashboard to be fully integrated into the vehicle body without requiring the removal of space to accommodate the display, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0035] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the first aspect of the present invention provides a rotating central control display assembly, including: a display screen 100 and a rotation drive mechanism 200. The rotation drive mechanism 200 includes a rotating shaft 210 and a drive member 220. The rotating shaft 210 is mounted on the outside of a vehicle's dashboard 300, and is vertically connected to the drive member 220 and extends in a vertical direction. The rotating shaft 210 is configured to reciprocate circumferentially, and its top end is rotatably connected to the display screen 100. The drive member 220 is connected to the rotating shaft 210 and is mounted on the inside of the dashboard 300. The drive member 220 drives the display screen 100 to rotate left and right relative to the dashboard 300 along the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 210.

[0037] Understandably, see Figure 5 As shown, the rotating shaft 210 and the driving component 220 can be connected perpendicularly to each other to form a whole. The rotating shaft 210 extends vertically and passes through the instrument panel 300 and is located on the outside of the instrument panel 300. Its top end is rotatably connected to the display screen 100. The driving component 220 is installed on the inside of the instrument panel 300. The driving component 220 may include a drive motor, a rotating gear, and other structures to drive the rotating shaft 210 to rotate in the circumferential direction in either the forward or reverse direction, thereby driving the display screen 100 to rotate synchronously. This facilitates the adjustment of the rotation angle of the display screen 100 relative to the instrument panel 300, making it easier for drivers and passengers to observe the display screen 100 and preventing the display screen 100 from colliding with the instrument panel 300.

[0038] Specifically, in combination Figures 1 to 6As shown, the rotation drive mechanism 200 in the rotating central control display assembly increases the rotation angle of the display 100 by setting the rotation shaft 210 on the outside of the instrument panel 300 and rotatably connecting the display 100 to the rotation shaft 210. Furthermore, the rotation shaft 210 is configured to extend vertically and reciprocate along its own circumference. The display 100 is connected to the end of the rotation shaft 210. Driven by the drive member 220, the rotation shaft 210 rotates left and right in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, thereby causing the left and right sides of the display 100 connected to the rotation shaft 210 to rotate left and right relative to the instrument panel 300. The rotation shaft 210 provides a gap between the display 100 and the instrument panel 300, preventing collisions between the display 100 and the instrument panel 300 during rotation. This allows the instrument panel 300 to be fully installed on the vehicle body without needing to remove space to accommodate the display 100, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0039] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes an adapter bracket 400, which is connected to the back of the display screen 100. The adapter bracket 400 has a connecting part in the vertical direction, which is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 210.

[0040] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adapter bracket 400 can be provided with multiple through-holes along the vertical direction. The rotating shaft 210 can be configured as a "tower," meaning that the rotating shaft 210 extends vertically, and its sidewalls can be wrapped with a protective layer to protect the rotating shaft 210. The top of the rotating shaft 210 can be provided with multiple through holes that match the rotating holes, extending along the vertical direction. The adapter bracket 400 and the rotating shaft 210 can be rotatably connected through the rotating holes and through holes using connectors. Furthermore, the side of the adapter bracket 400 can be fixedly connected to the back of the display screen 100. This configuration allows the adapter bracket 400 to rotate along the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 210, thereby causing the display screen 100 to rotate synchronously.

[0041] The connector can be a bolt, allowing the rotating shaft 210 and the adapter bracket 400 to be connected by bolts. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the rotating shaft 210 and the adapter bracket 400 can be connected by a detachable pin connection, allowing the adapter bracket 400 to rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 210, thus adjusting the angle of the display screen 100.

[0042] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 210 can rotate back and forth in the circumferential direction, allowing the display screen 100 to swing left and right to adapt to the viewing angle of the driver and passengers, meet their needs, and reduce the risk of driving.

[0043] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a cover plate mechanism 500, which includes an upper cover 510 and a lower cover 520. The lower cover 520 is used to connect to the outside of the instrument panel 300. The lower cover 520 forms a mounting chamber, and the rotating shaft 210 is located in the mounting chamber.

[0044] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the lower cover 520 of the rotating shaft can be fixedly connected to the instrument panel 300. The lower cover 520 is semi-circular in shape and has a mounting chamber. The rotating shaft 210 can pass through the instrument panel 300 and be disposed within the mounting chamber. The adapter bracket 400 can also be disposed within the mounting chamber and rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 210. That is, the lower cover 520 can cover the adapter bracket 400 and the rotating shaft 210, preventing the connection point from being exposed, affecting aesthetics, and making it prone to damage. See also... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, baffle 600 (described below) can also be installed in the mounting chamber.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper cover 510 of the rotating shaft is detachably connected to the adapter bracket 400, and the edge of the upper cover 510 of the rotating shaft overlaps with the edge of the lower cover 520 of the rotating shaft.

[0046] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 As shown, the adapter bracket 400 has a latch 900, and the upper cover 510 of the rotating shaft can have a latching block that matches the latch 900, so that the upper cover 510 of the rotating shaft can be snapped together with the adapter bracket 400. Furthermore, the edge curvature of the upper cover 510 of the rotating shaft is the same as the edge curvature of the lower cover 520 of the rotating shaft, allowing the upper cover 510 to overlap the lower cover 520 of the rotating shaft. This not only conceals the adapter bracket 400 but also ensures that the upper cover 510 rotates synchronously when the display screen 100 rotates. Of course, in other embodiments, the upper cover 510 of the rotating shaft and the adapter bracket 400 can also be bolted together, as long as the upper cover 510 of the rotating shaft and the adapter bracket 400 can be detachably connected.

[0047] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, the axes of the upper hinge cover 510 and the lower hinge cover 520 are coaxial with the axis of the rotating shaft 210. It is understood that by setting the upper hinge cover 510 and the lower hinge cover 520 to be coaxial with the axis of the rotating shaft 210, when the rotating shaft 210 rotates at a certain angle, the upper hinge cover 510 and the lower hinge cover 520 can rotate synchronously by the same angle, preventing the upper hinge cover 510 or the lower hinge cover 520 from becoming disengaged, thereby preventing the display screen 100 from failing to rotate smoothly left and right.

[0048] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a baffle 600, which is connected to the back of the display screen 100 and is used to shield the adapter bracket 400.

[0049] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the baffle 600 can be a "U"-shaped baffle. This baffle 600 wraps around the outside of the adapter bracket 400 to conceal it, preventing passengers from seeing it and improving aesthetics. The opening of the baffle 600 can face the shaft cover 510; that is, the baffle 600 is located on the other three sides of the adapter bracket 400, allowing the connecting end of the adapter bracket 400 to connect smoothly with the rotating shaft 210 and the shaft cover 510.

[0050] In one possible implementation, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a rotating bracket 700, the first end of which is connected to the drive component 220, and the second end of which is used for fixed connection with the tube beam 800 of the vehicle.

[0051] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing of the drive component 220 can have multiple bolt holes. The first end of the rotating bracket 700 can be connected to the drive component 220 by bolts, and the second end of the rotating bracket 700 can be connected to the tube beam 800 of the vehicle to support the rotating drive mechanism 200 and the display screen 100.

[0052] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body and the aforementioned rotating central control display assembly mounted on the vehicle body. Specifically, the rotating central control display assembly provided in this application can be mounted on the vehicle body, such that there is a rotation axis 210 between the display screen 100 and the instrument panel 300, avoiding collision between the display screen 100 and the instrument panel 300 when rotating. This allows the instrument panel 300 to be fully mounted on the vehicle body without the need to remove space to avoid the display screen 100, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0053] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 As shown, it also includes an instrument panel 300, which has a mounting hole. The rotating shaft 210 of the rotating central control display assembly passes through the mounting hole and is rotatably connected to the display 100.

[0054] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the surface of the instrument panel 300 can be provided with mounting holes. These mounting holes do not need to be too large, as long as they can ensure that the rotating shaft 210 can pass through smoothly and rotate freely. After passing through the instrument panel 300, the rotating shaft 210 can be rotatably connected to the display screen 100. This design not only ensures that the rotating function of the display screen 100 can be achieved with a relatively small mounting hole on the instrument panel 300, but also that the drive component 220 of the rotation drive mechanism 200 is located inside the instrument panel 300, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing design and avoiding the need for too many components to be located outside the instrument panel 300.

[0055] Specifically, in one possible implementation, the distance between the display screen 100 and the instrument panel 300 is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm. It is understood that the rotating shaft 210 passes through a mounting hole on the instrument panel 300 and is rotatably connected to the display screen 100, thus maintaining a certain distance between the instrument panel 300 and the display screen 100. This distance can be controlled to be greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm. This arrangement ensures that the display screen 100 can rotate a certain angle to the left and right to allow for viewing by the driver and passengers, while also preventing the display screen 100 from colliding with the surface of the instrument panel 300 during rotation. This avoids the need to remove space from the instrument panel 300 to accommodate the display screen 100, improving the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0056] It should be understood that the above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments for fully illustrating the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
