Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to automobile interior design, and in particular to the design field of an in-vehicle mobile phone charging platform. Background Art

[0002] With the popularity of mobile phones, providing a stable and convenient place to place mobile phones while driving has become a topic that car manufacturers have to consider. In addition, with the popularization of in-vehicle charging technology, providing a convenient and stable way to charge mobile phones while driving has also become an important indicator. In the process of car interior design, how to arrange the storage position of mobile phones and ensure the convenience of taking them has become an important and difficult problem.

[0003] According to the known existing technology, during the feasibility study of the modeling, the OEM will build a physical review model, verify the hand operation space through the VR virtual model, and use a combination of virtual AR to review the comfort and convenience. The disadvantages are: the physical model production cycle is long, the production rounds are few, and some parameters cannot be carried on the physical model for review or verification in time, which in turn affects the entire structural design cycle; secondly, through rapid sample verification, the sample size is fixed, and only a single size solution can be verified, which may require multiple rounds of repetitions and is time-consuming; finally, the hand operation space is verified through the VR virtual model, which cannot simulate the real mobile phone picking action, which may cause distortion of the evaluation results. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted mobile phone platform simulation design device, which can realize adjustment in multiple dimensions, thereby simulating the structural changes of the vehicle-mounted mobile phone platform in the car interior, and providing a more convenient and quick way to optimize the car interior structure design.

[0005] To achieve the purpose of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted mobile phone platform simulation design device of the present invention includes a dashboard lower guard plate simulation block, a sub-instrument front end simulation block, and one or more L-shaped connectors; wherein the dashboard lower guard plate simulation block and the sub-instrument front end simulation block respectively simulate the shape of the dashboard lower guard plate and the sub-instrument front end of the vehicle, and the longitudinal extension of the L-shaped connector is connected to the dashboard lower guard plate simulation block in a manner that can slide relative to each other along a first direction, and the transverse extension of the L-shaped connector is connected to the sub-instrument front end simulation block in a manner that can slide relative to each other along a second direction. Usually, the first direction generally points to the vertical up and down direction, that is, the z direction, and the second direction generally points to the direction of the vehicle moving forward and backward, that is, the x direction. However, in the specific vehicle interior design, due to the diversity of the design structures of the dashboard and the sub-instrument, the direction of their relative displacement adjustment may be at a certain angle to the horizontal direction or the vertical direction. Therefore, the conditions for satisfying the first direction and the second direction in the present invention are that the displacement generated when the L-shaped connector and the simulation block of the lower guard plate of the instrument panel slide relative to each other along the first direction has a component in the vertical direction (z direction), and the displacement generated when the lateral extension portion of the L-shaped connector and the simulation block at the front end of the auxiliary instrument panel slide relative to each other along the second direction has a component in the horizontal direction (x direction).

[0006] Preferably, the longitudinal extension of the L-shaped connector is connected to the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block through a magnetic medium, and the magnetic medium includes a first magnetic member fixed on the L-shaped connector and a second magnetic member fixed on the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block. The magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member should be able to keep the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block and the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block in a relatively stable connection, while also allowing the longitudinal extension of the L-shaped connector block and the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block to slide relative to each other under the action of external force. Preferably, the magnetic medium adopts a neodymium iron boron magnetic device, such as a magnetic metal plate as a first magnetic member fixed on the L-shaped connector block, and a neodymium iron boron magnet as a second magnetic member fixed on the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block, or vice versa, a magnetic metal block as a second magnetic member fixed on the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block, and a neodymium iron boron magnet as a first magnetic member fixed on the L-shaped connector block.

[0007] Preferably, the number of the L-shaped connectors is one or a pair. In the experiment of the present invention, it is found that the purpose of the present invention can be achieved by setting one L-shaped connector, and setting a pair of connectors can make the connection between the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block and the auxiliary instrument front end simulation block more stable. Therefore, those skilled in the art can understand that multiple connectors can also be redundantly set to achieve the purpose of the present invention.

[0008] Preferably, the L-shaped connector and / or the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block are provided with a first scale mark for marking their relative position or displacement at the position where the relative displacement occurs, which is mainly used to measure the displacement that needs to be corrected in the z direction when adjusting the design; the L-shaped connector and / or the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block are provided with a second scale mark for marking their relative position or displacement at the corresponding position where the relative displacement occurs, which is mainly used to measure the displacement that needs to be corrected in the x direction when adjusting the design. Preferably, the first scale mark includes a first indicator line set on the L-shaped connector and a first scale line set on the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block; the second scale mark includes a second indicator line set on the lateral extension of the L-shaped connector and a second scale line set on the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block.

[0009] Preferably, the lower instrument panel guard plate simulation block is provided with a guide groove or guide rail adapted to the shape of the longitudinal extension portion of the L-shaped connector, and the L-shaped connector is guided by the guide groove or guide rail to achieve relative movement along the first direction relative to the lower instrument panel guard plate simulation block.

[0010] Furthermore, the front end simulation block of the auxiliary instrument panel is provided with a slide groove or a slide hole adapted to the number and position of the L-shaped connector, the transverse extension of the L-shaped connector is inserted into the slide groove or the slide hole in a manner that it cannot move in the first direction, and can slide in the slide groove or the slide hole in the second direction; the inner peripheral structure of the slide groove or the slide hole is adapted to the outer peripheral structure of the transverse extension of the L-shaped connector. For example, if the cross-section of one end of the L-shaped connector inserted into the front end simulation block of the auxiliary instrument panel is square, rectangular, polygonal, circular or elliptical, the inner periphery of the slide groove or the slide hole adopts a shape corresponding to the cross-section.

[0011] Furthermore, the sliding hole includes a blind hole or a through hole which axially passes through the first end face of the base plate of the front end simulation block of the auxiliary instrument panel, and the lateral extension portion of the L-shaped connecting piece is inserted into the blind hole or the through hole to realize its connection with the front end simulation block of the auxiliary instrument panel, and the side wall of the blind hole or the through hole is provided with an observation port which passes through the upper surface or the lower surface of the base plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the slide groove or slide hole is arranged on the bottom plate of the front end simulation block of the auxiliary instrument panel, and the lateral extension portion of the L-shaped connecting piece and / or the bottom plate of the front end simulation block of the auxiliary instrument panel are provided with a second scale mark for marking the relative position or displacement of the lateral extension portion of the L-shaped connecting piece and the front end simulation block of the auxiliary instrument panel at a position adapted to the slide groove or slide hole.

[0013] Preferably, the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block is provided with limiting ribs for simulating and limiting the limit adjustment of the mobile phone on the instrument panel front end modeling simulation block.

[0014] Preferably, the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block and the limiting rib are connected via a structure in which tooth grooves and teeth cooperate, so as to achieve position adjustment of the limiting rib on the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block.

[0015] The present invention can be used in the process of automobile interior design to evaluate the comfort and optimize the surface of the mobile phone wireless charging area. Since the simulation device of the present invention provides relative position adjustment in two dimensions, up and down and front and back, it can quickly realize the change and evaluation of the comfort size, greatly shortening the design solution locking cycle. Among them, the present invention cleverly uses the magnetic attraction between magnets and metals, not only to achieve a stable connection between the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block and the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block, but also to allow relative displacement between the two in the up and down and front and back directions, thereby simulating a variety of spatial design forms, saving model materials, and accelerating the automobile interior design cycle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following is a further description of the vehicle-mounted mobile phone platform simulation design device of the present invention through a preferred embodiment. Those skilled in the art can make reasonable modifications to the preferred embodiments of the present invention through the following embodiments in combination with the description in the content of the invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. For ease of understanding, the first direction is described as the z direction and the second direction is described as the x direction in the following description.

[0029] The vehicle-mounted mobile phone platform simulation design device of this embodiment includes a dashboard lower guard plate simulation block 1, a sub-instrument front end simulation block 2, and a pair of L-shaped connectors 3. The L-shaped connector 3 can respectively connect the dashboard lower guard plate simulation block 1 and the sub-instrument front end simulation block 2 in a relatively slidable manner through its longitudinal extension 31 and transverse extension 32, thereby adjusting the relative position between the dashboard lower guard plate simulation block 1 and the sub-instrument front end simulation block 2 in the z direction and the x direction. In the illustrated embodiment, the longitudinal extension 31 of the L-shaped connector 3 is connected to the dashboard lower guard plate simulation block 1 through a magnetic attraction medium, and the transverse extension 32 is connected to the sub-instrument front end simulation block 2 through a sliding hole mechanism.

[0030] Figure 1 In the middle is an assembled vehicle-mounted mobile phone platform simulation, in which the mobile phone model 7 is a free module that can be placed in the mobile phone storage position defined in the simulation block 2 at the front end of the auxiliary instrument panel to verify the convenience of taking it. Its specific design structure does not form part of the present invention.

[0031] In the illustrated embodiment, the longitudinal extension portion 31 of the L-shaped connector 3 is magnetically connected to the lower instrument panel guard plate simulation block 1 in the following manner: the magnet 6 is fixed to the longitudinal extension portion 31 of the L-shaped connector 3 by a fixing method including but not limited to bonding, welding, and clamping. In order to facilitate connection and fixation, a mounting hole or a mounting groove is provided on the longitudinal extension portion 31, so that the magnet 6 is embedded in the mounting hole or the mounting groove and fixed; the magnetic metal plate 5 is fixed to the lower instrument panel guard plate simulation block 1 by a fixing method including but not limited to bonding, welding, and clamping. In a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure the stability and reliability of the magnetic connection, the magnet 6 is a neodymium iron boron magnet. In order to avoid misalignment during movement, a guide groove or guide rail structure 11 (such as Figure 4a and Figure 4bAs shown in the figure, the L-shaped connector 3 can slide up and down more accurately through the guidance of the guide groove or guide rail 11. In order to facilitate the displacement adjustment value of the metering device in the z direction, a first scale line K1 is provided near the guide groove or guide rail structure 11 of the lower instrument panel guard plate 1, and a corresponding first indicator line is provided on the longitudinal connection part 31 of the L-shaped connector plate. When the L-shaped connector 3 slides up and down relative to the lower instrument panel guard plate simulation block 1, it will drive the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block 2 to slide up and down along the z direction. At this time, the position of the first scale line K1 and the first indicator line on the lower instrument panel guard plate simulation block 1 and the L-shaped connector 3 (as shown in the figure) can be determined. Figure 4b As shown in the figure, the relative positions of the lower guard plate simulation block 1 of the instrument panel and the front end simulation block 2 of the auxiliary instrument panel in the z direction, that is, the relative displacement up and down, are read out.

[0032] In the illustrated embodiment, the lateral extension portion 32 and the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block 2 are connected by a sliding hole mechanism as follows: Figure 2b As shown, there are two square sliding holes 212 on the first end surface 211 of the bottom plate of the front end simulation block 2 of the auxiliary instrument panel. The lateral extension of the L-shaped connecting member 3 can be inserted into the square sliding hole 212 and slide freely forward and backward inside the square sliding hole, that is, slide along the x direction. Figure 1 and Figure 2b Under the attraction of the metal plate 5 and the magnet 6, the L-shaped connector 3 can be relatively stably connected to the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block 1, so that the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block 1 and the instrument panel front end simulation block 2 are connected and the relative positions of the two are determined through the L-shaped connector 3. In order to facilitate the observation of the position of the lateral extension 32, an observation port 210 (such as Figure 3b and 4b At the same time, in order to facilitate the measurement of the adjustment value in the x direction, a second scale line K2 is provided near the observation port, and a second indicator line is provided on the transverse connection portion 32 of the L-shaped connection plate. When the L-shaped connection member 3 moves forward and backward in the x direction, the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block 1 moves together with the L-shaped connection member 3 under the action of the magnetic attraction. At this time, the positions of the second indicator line and the second scale line K2 on the instrument panel front end simulation block 2 and the transverse connection portion 32 of the L-shaped connection member 3 (as shown in FIG. Figure 3b (as shown) read out the relative positions of the instrument panel lower guard plate simulation block 1 and the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block 2 in the x direction, that is, the front-rear relative displacement.

[0033] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 5a , Figure 5bAs shown, in addition to the relative sliding function of the lower instrument panel guard simulation block 1 and the front end simulation block 2 of the auxiliary instrument panel in the X direction as mentioned above, the mobile phone model 7 can also realize more X-direction adjustment space by moving the limiting rib 4, and realize positioning through the tooth groove structure on the front end simulation block of the auxiliary instrument panel and the toothed structure on the limiting rib 4, thereby realizing three-speed adjustment.

[0034] Those skilled in the art should understand that the positions of the metal plate 5 and the magnet 6 can also be swapped, and the purpose of the present invention can also be achieved. As long as the suction force between the metal plate 5 and the magnet 6 can keep the lower instrument panel simulation block 1 and the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block 2 relatively stably connected, while also allowing the L-shaped connector 3 and the lower instrument panel simulation block 1 to slide relative to each other under the action of external force. Alternatively, in another embodiment, a non-magnetic mechanism can also be used for the connection between the longitudinal connection portion 31 of the L-shaped connector and the lower instrument panel simulation block 1, such as a connection method with similar functions such as a slot connection, a guide rail mechanism, a gasket adjustment, a threaded mechanism, etc., which can also achieve the purpose of the present invention, but its preparation process and adjustment method are not as practical as the magnetic medium of the present invention.

[0035] Although in the above embodiment, the L-shaped connector 3 and the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block 2 are connected via a square sliding hole, those skilled in the art will also understand that other shapes besides the square sliding hole, such as rectangular, polygonal, circular, elliptical and other shapes of holes, are acceptable as long as they match the insertion end of the L-shaped connector 3.

[0036] In other embodiments, the connection between the lateral extension of the L-shaped connector 3 and the front end simulation block 2 of the auxiliary instrument panel may also adopt a slide groove structure, that is, the slide hole on the end surface of the bottom plate is replaced with a slide groove structure provided on the upper surface or the lower surface of the bottom plate 21, and the lateral extension 32 of the L-shaped connector is clamped in the slide groove to achieve sliding connection. Alternatively, the front end simulation block 2 of the auxiliary instrument panel may also be connected to the L-shaped connector 3 through the wing plate 22 instead of the bottom plate, which can also achieve the purpose of the present invention.

[0037] In addition, in other embodiments, one L-shaped connector 3 can also achieve the purpose of the present invention, and more L-shaped connectors 3 can also be provided according to specific design requirements.

[0038] The structure of the present invention is described in detail above through some preferred embodiments. Through the above embodiments, the present invention well realizes the spatial simulation of the vehicle-mounted mobile phone platform. Since the lower instrument panel guard simulation block and the auxiliary instrument panel front end simulation block can be connected by an L-shaped connector, the relative displacement between the two in the x-direction and z-direction, that is, front and back and left and right, can be flexibly realized, thereby simulating the various relative spatial positions of the lower instrument panel guard and the auxiliary instrument panel front end in the automobile interior design, and the rationality of the design can be verified by taking a simulated mobile phone in various positions, which greatly facilitates the entire design and verification process.
