[0052] A groove 13 is provided on the first side panel 11 to improve the comfort level of the driver's right leg; or a groove 13 can be provided on the second side panel 12 to improve the comfort level of the front passenger's left leg; or grooves 13 are provided on both the first side panel 11 and the second side panel 12 to improve the comfort level of the driver's right leg and the passenger's left leg.

[0053] Second, the vehicle is a right-hand drive vehicle.

[0054] In the case of a right-hand-drive vehicle, the first side plate 11 is located on the left side, the second side plate 12 is located on the right side, and the arrangement positions of the groove 13 include at least the following three types:

[0055] First, the groove 13 is located on the second side plate 12 , and the notch of the groove 13 of the second side plate 12 faces the driving position and is located in the driver's left leg support area to improve the comfort of the driver's leg close to the center console body 1 .

[0056] Second, the groove 13 is located on the first side plate 11 , with the notch of the groove 13 facing the front passenger seat and located in the leg support area of ​​the passenger's right leg to improve the support comfort of the front passenger's leg close to the center console body 1 .

[0057] Third, the notch of the groove 13 of the first side panel 11 faces the front passenger seat and is located in the passenger's right leg support area; the notch of the groove 13 of the second side panel 12 faces the driver's seat and is located in the driver's left leg support area.

[0058] A groove 13 is provided on the first side panel 11 to improve the comfort level of the right leg of the front passenger; or a groove 13 is provided on the second side panel 12 to improve the comfort level of the left leg of the driver; or grooves 13 are provided on both the first side panel 11 and the second side panel 12 to improve the comfort level of the right leg of the front passenger and the left leg of the driver.

[0059] In one embodiment, a groove 13 is provided on the one of the first side panel 11 and the second side panel 12 facing the driver's seat, and the groove 13 is recessed toward the interior of the center console body 1; the groove 13 may or may not be provided on the one of the first side panel 11 and the second side panel 12 facing the front passenger seat.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the one of the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 facing the driver's seat is provided with a groove 13 , while the one of the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 facing the front passenger seat is not provided with a groove 13 .

[0061] It is understandable that the frequency of sitting in the front passenger seat is lower than that of the driver's seat. Providing a groove 13 on the side of the driver's seat can ensure the driver's comfort and improve driving safety. At the same time, not providing the groove 13 at the front passenger seat can reduce costs.

[0062] The wall surface of the groove 13 is provided with a first air outlet 133, which is used for air outlet or air intake. The ventilation mode can be used for long-term driving to improve the air circulation environment of the contact part between the legs and the groove 13, which is beneficial to the removal of sweat and improves comfort.

[0063] The first air outlet 133 may include a plurality of first air outlets 133 , and the plurality of first air outlets 133 are arranged at intervals on the wall surface of the groove 13 .

[0064] The first air outlet 133 may be a through-hole structure, which is used to connect the interior of the center console body 1 with the external environment, so as to achieve the circulation of the gas inside the center console body 1 and the gas inside the vehicle.

[0065] The air duct is used for gas exchange, and a fan 14 is arranged in the air duct to accelerate the fluidity of the gas and enhance the wind feeling on the legs.

[0066] The fan 14 may be a centrifugal fan 14 or an axial flow fan 14. When the fan 14 is working, it can accelerate the gas flow in the air duct, so that the legs have a wind feeling, such as evaporation of leg sweat, which increases comfort.

[0067] One end of the electronic port 15 is electrically connected to the fan 14 , and the other end of the electronic port 15 is suitable for being electrically connected to the instrument panel 2 . The driver or passenger can adjust the opening, closing and wind speed of the fan 14 through the virtual controls or physical operation buttons on the instrument panel 2 .

[0068] According to the vehicle center console provided in the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, a groove 13 recessed toward the inside of the center console body 1 is provided in at least one of the first side panel 11 and the second side panel 12. Compared with the planar structure in the related art in which the legs are directly leaned against, the design of the groove 13 can create an avoidance space, increase the activity space of the legs, and improve driving comfort; on the other hand, a first air outlet 133 is provided on the wall of the groove 13, and the fan 14 is arranged in an air duct connected to the first air outlet 133, so as to improve the air circulation environment of the contact part between the legs and the center console body 1, reduce the discomfort of long-term driving, and improve comfort.

[0069] The second air outlet of the air duct may be arranged at least in the following two positions:

[0070] Firstly, the center console body 1 further includes: a second air outlet, which is connected with the first air outlet 133 to form an air duct, and the second air outlet is suitable for being connected with the vehicle interior environment.

[0071] In this setting, the second air outlet and the first air outlet 133 are both connected to the vehicle interior environment. When the fan 14 is turned on, a wind sensation with the same temperature as that in the vehicle can be generated on the legs, thereby achieving rapid evaporation of leg sweat and avoiding leg discomfort caused by temperature changes.

[0072] Secondly, the air duct is suitable for communicating with the vehicle air conditioning system.

[0073] The vehicle air conditioning system can perform internal and external circulation to adjust the temperature in the cabin.

[0074] In this setting, the air duct is connected to the vehicle air-conditioning system. When the air inlet side of the fan 14 is facing the first air outlet 133, the first air outlet 133 is an air inlet. On the one hand, it can produce a wind sensation on the legs to avoid leg discomfort caused by temperature changes. On the other hand, it can be connected to the environment outside the cabin to send humid air out of the cabin, thereby improving the comfort of temperature and humidity in the cabin.

[0075] In this setting, the air duct is connected to the vehicle air-conditioning system. When the outlet side of the fan 14 is facing the first air outlet 133, the first air outlet 133 is an air outlet, which can not only produce a wind feeling on the legs, but also bring cold air or hot air from the vehicle air-conditioning system to adjust the blowing temperature of the legs in a targeted manner, thereby improving the leg comfort.

[0076] The size and number of the first air outlets 133 may be set according to specific circumstances. Considering the structural strength and ventilation of the flexible buffer layer 131 , the average size R of the first air outlets 133 is set to satisfy: 0.5 mm ≤ R ≤ 3 mm.

[0077] In some embodiments, the top length of the vertical groove 13 is greater than the bottom length of the groove 13, that is, the groove 13 is semicircular or truncated cone-shaped, and the number of first air outlets 133 at the top of the groove 13 is greater than the number of first air outlets 133 at the bottom of the groove 13, thereby achieving uniform ventilation.

[0078] In some embodiments, the groove 13 satisfies: 100mm≤L1≤250mm; wherein L1 is the average length of the groove 13 along the longitudinal direction, for example, L1=150mm, or L1=200mm, to satisfy different customers in adjusting different seat angles and support positions, thereby increasing usage scenarios.

[0079] In some embodiments, the edge depth of the groove 13 along the longitudinal direction is less than the center depth of the groove 13, that is, the groove 13 is arc-shaped, and the height difference between the edge of the groove 13 and other positions of the side panel is small, thereby avoiding direct contact between the legs and the edge of the groove 13 to cause pain and improve comfort.

[0080] In some embodiments, the edge of the groove 13 is provided with a chamfer, and the edge of the groove 13 smoothly transitions with other positions of the side panel, further improving comfort.

[0081] In some embodiments, the groove 13 satisfies: 2mm≤W1≤8mm; wherein W1 is the average groove depth of the groove 13 along the lateral direction, for example W1=2mm, or W1=5mm. The recognition of the support position of the groove 13 is increased by a small depth, and the impact on the movement of the driver's right leg is small, thereby improving both driving safety and driving comfort.

[0082] By setting the groove 13 to be shaped like the calf, knee and thigh with a large arc and a small depth, the large arc and long distance can meet the needs of different customers to adjust the support position at different seat angles, and the small depth increases the recognition of the support position, does not restrict the movement of the right leg, does not affect driving safety, and does not occupy storage space.

[0083] In some embodiments, the groove 13 satisfies: 5mm≤L2≤200mm, 5mm≤H1≤500mm; wherein L2 is suitable for the average straight-line distance from the front end of the longitudinal groove 13 to the instrument panel 2, and H1 is suitable for the height along the vertical groove 13, for example, L2=50mm, H1=100mm, or L2=100mm, H1=200mm. By limiting the position of the groove 13 and the height of the groove 13, the placement position of the driver's legs can be adapted to improve driving comfort.

[0084] In some embodiments, the depth and height of the groove 13 may be designed according to ergonomics, for example, according to the curvature of the human knee, the length of the calf, or the curvature of the calf.

[0085] In some embodiments, the fan 14 may be a silent fan 14 to reduce noise in the cabin and improve driving comfort.

[0086] In some embodiments, the fan 14 is a suction-type fan, and the air inlet side of the fan 14 faces the first air outlet 133. The suction-type makes the wind feel more uniform and improves comfort.

[0087] In some embodiments, the fan 14 is a blowing-type fan, and the air outlet side of the fan 14 faces the first air outlet 133. The blowing-type fan can blow out the cold air or hot air generated by the vehicle air-conditioning system from the first air outlet 133, giving the legs a different experience and increasing the usage scenarios.

[0088] In some embodiments, the groove 13 includes: a flexible buffer layer 131 and a frame 132 ; the flexible buffer layer 131 is disposed on a side of the frame 132 facing the outside of the center console body 1 ; and the flexible buffer layer 131 and the frame 132 are provided with a first air outlet 133 .

[0089] The frame 132 is sunken toward the inside of the center console body 1 to form a groove, which plays a supporting role.

[0090] The flexible buffer layer 131 is wrapped around the side of the frame 132 facing the outside of the center console body 1, that is, the part of the center console body 1 that contacts the legs is provided with the flexible buffer layer 131, so as to avoid the pain caused by direct contact between the legs and the hard center console body 1 and improve the comfort of leaning.

[0091] In some embodiments, the flexible buffer layer 131 may be a soft leather covering to increase the comfort of contact.

[0092] In some embodiments, the vehicle center console further includes: a heating component 17 , the heating component 17 includes a heating wire 171 ; the heating wire 171 is disposed between the flexible buffer layer 131 and the skeleton 132 , or the heating wire 171 is disposed in the flexible buffer layer 131 .

[0093] In this embodiment, the heating wire 171 is arranged between the flexible buffer layer 131 and the skeleton 132, or the heating wire 171 is arranged in the flexible buffer layer 131. The heat can be transferred to the legs through the flexible buffer layer 131. The flexible buffer layer 131 plays a temperature buffering role, avoids uneven temperature, and improves comfort.

[0094] In this embodiment, by adding a heating function to the vehicle center console, various needs of customers can be met and comfort can be improved.

[0095] In some embodiments, the heating component 17 also includes: a temperature detection device 172 and a temperature limiter 173, the temperature detection device 172 and the temperature limiter 173 are electrically connected to the electronic port 15 respectively, the temperature limiter 173 is electrically connected to the heating wire 171 and the electronic port 15 respectively, and the temperature detection device 172 is used to detect the temperature of the heating wire 171.

[0096] The temperature limiter 173 is used to control the temperature of the heating wire 171 according to the detection result of the temperature detection device 172. The temperature limiter 173 is electrically connected to the electronic port 15. The operator can control the temperature of the heating wire 171 through the instrument panel 2, and the operation is simple.

[0097] The temperature detection device 172 can be a temperature sensor or other instrument for detecting temperature. The temperature detection device 172 outputs the detected temperature of the heating wire 171 to the instrument panel 2 through the electronic port 15. The driver or passenger can control the temperature limiter 173 to adjust the temperature of the heating wire 171 through the virtual controls or physical operation buttons on the instrument panel 2.

[0098] In some embodiments, the temperature limiter 173 may be preset to a temperature range to ensure the comfort of the driver. The temperature range may be 16-30° C. to avoid dangers caused by accidental touch or gradual temperature rise.

[0099] In some embodiments, the driver or passenger can adjust the ventilation mode and heating mode of the vehicle center console through virtual controls or physical operation buttons on the instrument panel 2. The ventilation mode and heating mode can be used independently or in combination.
