[0023] Figure 1 A top view of the motor vehicle 1, in particular a passenger car, is schematically shown. In particular, motor homes or motor vehicles with more than nine seating spaces are not involved here. In particular, the motor vehicle has a permitted total weight of not more than 3.5 tons. A coordinate system indicates the vehicle longitudinal axis x, the vehicle transverse axis y, and the vehicle vertical axis z, all of which are perpendicular to each other.
[0024] In the passenger compartment 2, vehicle occupants 3 can occupy space on four seats 4a - 4d as required during driving. In the driving configuration, two seats 4a, 4b are arranged in the front row 5a and two seats 4c, 4d are arranged in the rear row 5b, so that the vehicle occupants 3 can sit upright thereon and occupy space in the forward direction. Concepts such as "front", "rear", "forefront" or "rear" refer here to the driving direction of the motor vehicle 1 when driving forward along the vehicle longitudinal axis x. In this driving configuration, all seats 4a - 4d are oriented forward, that is, the seats 4a - 4d are oriented such that a backrest 6a - 6d is arranged at the rear respectively and a seat surface 7a - 7d extends forward (along the vehicle longitudinal axis x) from the backrest. Therefore, in this driving configuration, all vehicle occupants 3 look forward and the driver can control the steering wheel 8. A footwell 9a is formed in front of the seats 4a, 4b in the front row 5a, and a footwell 9b is formed behind them and in front of the seats 4c, 4d in the rear row 5b.
[0025] A seat track 11 is provided at the bottom 10 of the passenger compartment space. By means of the seat track, the seats 4a and 4b of the front row 5a are arranged movably along the vehicle longitudinal direction x. Here, each of the seats 4a and 4b of the front row 5a is assigned to a respective pair of guide rails formed by adjacent seat tracks 11. The seat track 11 extends continuously or without interruption at least so far that the seats 4a and 4b of the front row 5a can be moved backward, so that they are arranged instead of the rear seats 4c and 4d, that is, the seats 4a and 4b are arranged along the vehicle longitudinal direction x at the positions where the seats 4c and 4b are located in the driving configuration.
[0026] In addition, a screen console 12 is provided, which functions as a center console in the driving configuration and is arranged in the seats 4a and 4b of the front row 5a and / or between the front row seats in the driving configuration.
[0027] The screen console 12 is arranged movably along the vehicle longitudinal direction x on a screen console track 13.
[0028] Figure 2 A three-dimensional view of the motor vehicle 1 is schematically shown. As can be seen, the seats 4a - 4d can be arranged in different seat configurations. Therefore, the seats 4a and 4b of the front row 5a can not only be moved along the vehicle longitudinal axis x, but also be rotated. The seats 4c and 4d of the rear row 5b can be folded independently of each other and stored in the bottom area of the luggage compartment. The seats 4c and 4d can be single seats or be formed in the form of a long seat divided into halves. In Figure 2 this case, for example, the front passenger seat rotates backward and the rear seat 4c is folded and stored.
[0029] Figure 3 shows the screen console 12 according to the first embodiment of the invention in its foremost position, in which the screen console is fully moved forward in the vehicle passenger compartment space on the screen console track 13.
[0030] The screen console 12 has a screen section 14 and a storage section 15.
[0031] The screen section 14 is, for example, plate-shaped and has a screen display part 16 including a touch-sensitive input function. In other words, the screen display part 16 is a so-called touch screen. On the back side of the screen section 14 pointing in the opposite direction to the screen display part 16, the screen section 14 is formed flat and is formed, for example, as a color-painted surface, as a varnish-coated wood veneer, as a leather surface, as a plastic surface, as a carbon fiber surface or the like. On one side of the screen display part 16, the screen display part 16 can be framed with the same characteristics as the back side or the screen display part 16 extends substantially over the entire size of the screen section 14.
[0032] The storage section 15 is formed adjacent to the screen section 14 and is mechanically connected to the screen section. The storage section 15 can be formed, for example, in a plate-like or tabletop-like manner as shown in the figure and is connected to the support legs 18, which are in turn movable on the screen table track 13. However, the storage section 15 can also be formed in a right-angled parallelepiped shape, a block shape or a cube shape and be guided directly on the screen table track 13. The storage section 15 has an upward-facing flat storage surface 17, which is formed, for example, as a color-painted surface, as a varnished wood veneer, as a leather surface, as a plastic surface, as a carbon fiber surface or the like. In particular, it has the same surface characteristics as the back side of the screen section.
[0033] The screen section 14 can be arranged in at least two positions - in Figure 2 , Figure 3a and Figure 3b the upright position shown and in Figure 3c the flat position shown. In this embodiment, the storage surface 17 extends in the horizontal plane xy, which is defined by the vehicle longitudinal axis x and the vehicle transverse axis y. In the upright position, the screen display 16 forms an angle α between 90° and 150°, especially between 85° and 135°, with the storage surface 17 or the horizontal plane xy on the upper side of the screen table 12. In this upright position, the screen display is well-readable and operable. In the flat position, the screen display 16 forms an angle α of 180° with the storage surface 17 or the horizontal plane xy on the upper side of the screen table 12, or in other words, the screen section 16 and the storage surface 17 form a flat tabletop 19, which extends in the horizontal plane xy, as shown in Figure 3c .
[0034] An intermediate position or stepless adjustability between the two positions is also possible.
[0035] In the surface section 20 of the flat tabletop 19 formed by the screen section 14, it can relate, for example, to the screen display 16. It can also relate to the back side of the screen section 14. In addition, it can also relate to a cover, which is fastened to the screen section 14, can be flipped onto the screen display 16 and forms the surface section 20 of the flat tabletop 19 in the state of being on the screen display 16.
[0036] If it relates to the back side, this can be achieved, for example, by the screen section 14 having a rotation axis extending in the center (with respect to the vehicle longitudinal axis x) along the vehicle transverse axis y, which is in turn supported on two pivot arms, which are pivotably supported on the storage section 15 in the xz plane.
[0037] In the case of using the dorsal side and in the case of using the covering part, it is advantageous that the surface characteristics on the flat tabletop 19 are uniform.
[0038] As already explained, the seats 4a - 4d can be arranged in different seating configurations. Thus, for example, the seats 4a, 4b in the front row 5a can be moved backward independently of each other. In addition, the seats 4a, 4b in the front row 5a can be rotated independently of each other about the vehicle vertical axis z, so that the vehicle occupants 3 on the seats 4a, 4b sit face to face with the vehicle occupants 3 on the seats 4c, 4d.
[0039] By the mobility of the screen table 12 along the vehicle longitudinal axis x by means of the screen table track 13, the screen table 12 can be adjusted and adapted according to the wishes of the vehicle occupants 3. For example, the screen table 12 can be adapted to the moving seats 4a, 4b.
[0040] Figure 3a shows the screen table 12 in its foremost position, while Figure 3b and Figure 3c shows the screen table 12 in a position moved backward (along the vehicle longitudinal axis x).
[0041] The screen display unit 16 is used, for example, as a so-called central information display (Center Information Display) during the driving of the motor vehicle 1, that is, as a central display for operating and / or displaying vehicle functions, such as entertainment, navigation, and telephone functions. When stationary or during fully automated driving, the screen display unit 16 can be used for entertainment purposes and for operating and / or displaying vehicle functions in a desired positioning.
[0042] In the foremost position, the screen section 14 can be embedded in the instrument panel 21, that is, the instrument panel 21 has a recess, and the screen section 14 is fitted into the recess in such a way that the screen section visually acts as part of the instrument panel 21 in this state. In particular, the screen display unit 16 is substantially flush with the instrument panel 21 in this state.
[0043] As another feature, the screen table 12 can have the following features:
[0044] Thus, the screen table 12 can be rotated about the vehicle vertical axis z. At least in its initial position, the screen table 12 has a locking mechanism for preventing unwanted rotation, and the initial position is shown in the following figure, in which the screen section 14 points forward and the storage section 15 points backward. This locking mechanism can also be provided at multiple rotational positions or continuously.
[0045] The above-described configuration and adjustment possibilities of seats 4a - 4d and the screen console 12 can additionally be equipped with locking devices and corresponding monitoring electronic devices that prevent the occurrence of collisions between the device objects. That is, for example, when this causes a collision with another vehicle component, the door operation and / or seat adjustment, center console adjustment, or console adjustment are locked.
[0046] Furthermore, a device for inductive charging of electronic devices can be integrated into the screen console 12. This device is preferably integrated into the storage section 15, but can also be additionally integrated into the screen section 14. In this way, electronic devices adapted for inductive charging, such as smartphones, tablets, headphones, or the like, can be charged by being placed on the screen console 12.
[0047] Furthermore, at least a device for magnetically fixing objects can be integrated into the storage section 15. Thus, objects, such as bowls or cups, can be fixed on the screen console 12 so that they can only be picked up with increased force and in this way prevent accidental tipping over, and the objects are adapted such that they interact with this device for magnetic fixing.
[0048] Figure 4a and 4b A second embodiment of the screen console 12' is schematically shown, where only the differences from the screen console 12 according to the first embodiment are discussed and furthermore reference is made to the description of the first embodiment. Here, Figure 4a a screen console 12' is shown, where the screen console is in its foremost position and the screen section 16' is in the upright position, while Figure 4b a screen console 12' is shown, where the screen console is in the rearward - moved position and the screen section 16' is in the flat position.
[0049] Like the screen console 12, the screen console 12' thus also has a screen section 14' including a screen display part 16' and a storage section 15' including a storage surface 17'.
[0050] In the first embodiment, the storage surface 17 always extends in the horizontal plane xy both in the upright position and in the flat position of the screen section 14, and only the screen section 14 is changeable between the upright position and the flat position, while in the screen console 12' according to the second embodiment, the position of the storage section 15' changes together with the position of the screen section 14'.
[0051] Thus, the storage surface 17' and the screen display unit 16' can always form a flat surface not only in the upright position of the screen section 14' but also in its flat position, i.e., in the upright and flat positions, the screen display unit 16' forms an angle α of 180° with the storage surface 17' on the upper side of the screen table 12'. The screen section 16' and the storage section 15' pivot approximately about a pivot axis which is in the region of the upper rear edge of the support leg 18'. Similarly, the storage surface 17' can be pivotable independently of the screen section 14' between the described position and a position in which the storage surface 17' extends in the horizontal plane xy. That is to say, the screen display unit 16' and the storage surface 17' are pivotable independently of one another.
[0052] In the upright position (see Figure 4a ), the screen display unit 16' forms an angle α with the horizontal plane xy on the upper side of the screen table 12' which is between 90° and 150°, in particular between 85° and 135°. In this upright position, the screen display unit is well readable and operable.
[0053] In the flat position (see Figure 4b ), the screen display unit 16' and the storage surface 17' extend in the horizontal plane xy.
[0054] As in the first embodiment, the screen table 12' is movable along the screen table track 13. In particular, the screen table 12' is dimensioned such that it can be moved through between the two seats 4a, 4b in the front row 5a, so that it can be positioned (with respect to the vehicle longitudinal axis x) between the seats 4a, 4b or in front of the seats 4a, 4b (see Figure 4a ) and can be positioned between the front row 5a and the rear row 5b (see Figure 4b ).
[0055] Although the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and the foregoing description, this illustration and description should be regarded as exemplary and not restrictive, and are not intended to limit the invention to the disclosed embodiments. The mere fact that specific features are mentioned in different dependent claims should not imply that combinations of these features cannot also be used advantageously. List of reference numerals
