BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention.

[0015] In the figure: 1. Vehicle body; 2. Display module. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] See also Figure 1 , an integrated structure in this embodiment includes a display module 2 and a vehicle body 1. The display module 2 is integrated into the outer surface or inner surface of the vehicle body 1, excluding the center console and the seat back, and is consistent with the contours of the inner and outer surfaces of the vehicle body 1. The display module 2 is fixed to the structural reinforcement of the vehicle body 1 or the inner and outer surfaces of the vehicle by physical bonding, and the display module 2 can display static or dynamic information.

[0018] The display module 2 adopts advanced flexible display technology, such as organic light-emitting diode (OLED) flexible display screen, which can be bent and adapted according to the complex curved contour of the vehicle body 1. Whether it is the smooth lines on the outer surface of the vehicle body 1 or the irregular shape on the inner surface, it can fit tightly. When integrated on the outer surface of the vehicle body 1, a special UV-resistant, wear-resistant and transparent protective coating can be used to protect the display module 2 from external environmental erosion without affecting the display effect. When integrated on the inner surface of the vehicle body 1, low-radiation and environmentally friendly materials are selected to ensure that there is no impact on the health of people in the vehicle.

[0019] Physical bonding methods include but are not limited to mechanical fastening, welding, riveting, etc. When connecting with the structural reinforcement of the vehicle body 1, if welding is used, welding materials with good compatibility with the material of the vehicle body 1 are selected. Through precise welding technology, the strength and sealing of the connection parts are ensured to ensure that the display module 2 can withstand various vibrations and external forces during the driving of the vehicle and stably display static or dynamic information. Static information may include vehicle brand logo, customized vehicle body 1 pattern, etc.; dynamic information covers various real-time data displays under the driving status of the vehicle, such as power indication for electric vehicles, fuel remaining, etc.

[0020] In terms of integrated exterior design, the vehicle design team took the display module 2 into overall consideration in the early design stage, and used computer-aided design technology to accurately model the appearance of the display module 2 to make it match the overall styling style of the vehicle body 1. For example, for a sports car body 1 with smooth lines, the edge of the display module 2 is designed to be streamlined to match it. From the front to the rear of the car, the outline of the display module 2 is perfectly integrated with the lines of the vehicle body 1. Whether viewed from the side or the front, the boundary between the display module 2 and the vehicle body 1 cannot be detected.

[0021] In order to avoid exposed edges or gaps, a special packaging process is adopted. An elastic and transparent sealing material is used on the edge of the display module 2. This material can not only fill the extremely fine gap between the display module 2 and the vehicle body 1, but also ensure that the flexibility of the display module 2 is not affected. At the same time, it presents a seamless effect in appearance, thereby enhancing the overall refinement and aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0022] The edge design of the display module 2 has undergone multiple rounds of simulation and optimization. The finite element analysis (FEA) technology is used to simulate the aerodynamic performance of different edge shapes during vehicle driving. For example, the edge designed to be in a teardrop shape can effectively reduce air resistance and wind noise when the vehicle is driving at high speed, while making the vehicle appearance more streamlined. For areas with complex curved surfaces on the surface of the vehicle body 1, the edge of the display module 2 is manufactured using 3D printing technology to accurately fit the curved surface of the vehicle body 1, thereby achieving a natural transition from the display module 2 to the surface of the vehicle body 1, and completely eliminating the abruptness of the conventional display module 2 due to right angles or hard edges.

[0023] In the processing of the joint part, advanced surface treatment technology is adopted. Before the display module 2 is installed on the vehicle body 1, the mounting part of the vehicle body 1 and the fitting surface of the display module 2 are ground and polished with high precision to make the surface roughness reach the nanometer level. Then, in the fitting process, a high-strength, transparent and self-leveling adhesive is used. After application, this adhesive can automatically fill in tiny unevenness and form a strong and flat connection layer after curing. From the appearance, the joint part is completely smooth without any visible seam marks, which not only improves the aesthetics, but also enhances the waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0024] The physical locking structure adopts a combination of various forms. For example, special metal buckles are set at key positions of the vehicle body 1. These buckles are precisely matched with the reserved slots on the display module 2. When installing, you only need to align the display module 2 with the vehicle body 1 and press it gently. The buckles will automatically snap into the slots to achieve preliminary fixation. At the same time, the display module 2 is further reinforced by bolts around it. The bolts are made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Even if the vehicle is driving under extreme road conditions, the display module 2 will not loosen or move.

[0025] Embedding method: During the manufacturing process of the vehicle body 1, a groove that is precisely matched with the size of the display module 2 is reserved. After the display module 2 is embedded in the groove, a filling material that is compatible with the material of the vehicle body 1 and the outer shell of the display module 2 is used to fill the tiny gap between the display module 2 and the groove, so that tight embedding is achieved and almost no trace of embedding is visible on the outside.

[0026] Bonding method: Use high-performance structural adhesive, which has extremely high bonding strength and weather resistance. Before bonding, clean and pre-treat the bonding surfaces of the vehicle body 1 and the display module 2 to ensure that there is no oil, dust or other impurities on the surface. Then, use automated glue coating equipment to accurately control the coating thickness and uniformity of the glue, and accurately stick the display module 2 to the surface of the vehicle body 1. After a certain period of curing, a firm connection is formed.

[0027] Magnetic attraction method: high-performance neodymium iron boron magnets are installed at corresponding positions of the vehicle body 1 and the display module 2. The polarity and magnetic force of the magnets are precisely designed to ensure that the display module 2 is firmly adsorbed on the vehicle body 1 under normal circumstances, and can be easily separated through specific tools or operations when disassembly and maintenance are required. At the same time, in order to prevent the display module 2 from tilting due to uneven magnetic force, some positioning pins or limit blocks can be used to assist in the use of the magnetic attraction structure to ensure the accuracy of the installation position of the display module 2.

[0028] The touch function of the display module 2 adopts capacitive touch technology, which has the characteristics of high sensitivity and fast response speed. A transparent conductive film is covered on the surface of the display module 2. When the owner touches the screen, the human body's electric field interacts with the conductive film to change the capacitance value. The system determines the touch position and operation type by detecting the change in capacitance value.

[0029] Customized display content is achieved through the vehicle's intelligent control system. The owner can personalize the display content of the display module 2 through a mobile phone APP or a control terminal in the vehicle. For example, the owner can choose his favorite theme style, including interface color, font style, etc.; he can also set specific display information according to different driving scenarios. For example, when driving at night, it automatically switches to a low-brightness, high-contrast display mode to facilitate viewing of vehicle status information while reducing eye stimulation.

[0030] For the owner's personalized visual content, display module 2 supports the import and display of multiple formats such as pictures and videos. The owner can set the photos he took and his favorite works of art as the background or screen saver of display module 2. In terms of displaying the vehicle status, it is connected with the vehicle's sensors and control system to obtain various parameters of the vehicle in real time, such as engine speed, tire pressure, brake status, etc., and display them on the screen in intuitive graphical or digital form.

[0031] When displaying the vehicle speed, a large-font, high-definition digital display is used, and a dynamic speedometer dial is used, so that the car owner can quickly and accurately understand the vehicle speed. The temperature display includes the temperature inside the car and the temperature outside the car. The data is collected by a high-precision temperature sensor and presented in a concise and clear manner on the display module 2. When displaying advertising information, relevant advertising content can be intelligently pushed according to factors such as the vehicle's driving area and time, bringing additional benefits to the vehicle operator. In terms of traffic information, through connection with the vehicle's navigation system and traffic information network, road condition information such as congested sections and traffic accidents can be obtained in real time, and the owner is reminded on the display module 2 with eye-catching colors and icons to help the owner plan the best driving route.

[0032] To sum up, this integrated structure integrates the display module 2 into the inner and outer surfaces of the vehicle body 1 with consistent contours, freeing up space inside the vehicle, facilitating layout optimization, improving space utilization, and meeting consumers' demand for spacious interior space; it is integrated with the exterior design of the vehicle body 1, with no exposed gaps, the edges adapt to the contours and the transition is smooth, making the vehicle more integrated and harmonious, enhancing visual appeal, and meeting modern aesthetic needs.

[0033] Furthermore, the display module 2 is rich in content, covering personalization, vehicle status, speed, temperature, advertising and traffic information, etc., expanding the dimension of information display and changing the traditional single function situation; capacitive touch technology combined with customized settings of the intelligent control system allows car owners to flexibly adjust the display content according to their preferences and driving scenarios, enhance interactivity, bring convenient and personalized experience, and meet the pursuit of intelligence and personalization.
