Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile interior decoration, and in particular to an automobile interior decoration small table board. Background Art

[0002] With the development of intelligent vehicles and home-like features, convenient amenities such as tray tables are becoming standard interior features. Traditional automotive tray tables typically utilize fixed drawer-style or drawer-and-flip-top designs. While these structures meet the functional requirements of daily use (such as load-bearing capacity and convenient operation), they can pose a potential safety hazard in the event of a collision. When a vehicle is struck head-on, side-on, or by other means, occupants may suffer varying degrees of physical injury from directly impacting the fixed tray table, with a particularly high risk of leg injuries.

[0003] Traditional drawer-style tray tables rely on a rigid track system for support and guidance. While this design provides excellent stability and durability, it also limits their ability to deform in a collision. Due to the lack of an energy-absorbing mechanism, they are unable to effectively absorb impact energy during a collision, potentially exacerbating occupant injuries. Furthermore, these complex track systems increase manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulties.

[0004] While existing drawers combined with flip-up tray tables can mitigate collisions between occupants and tray tables to a certain extent, they still have some limitations in practice. For example, the flipping action can be jerky or choppy, preventing timely evasion of occupants. Furthermore, if the drawer cannot be retracted in an emergency, deformation of the flip mechanism can create sharp fracture surfaces, increasing the risk of secondary injuries.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a small table for automobile interior decoration to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a small table for automobile interior decoration. By adopting a flexible rolling shutter door structure with energy-absorbing and collapsing characteristics, the structure can quickly retract the table top part to a safe position when the vehicle encounters a collision, thereby avoiding direct harm to the occupants caused by the traditional fixed small table.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows: A small table for automobile interior decoration, comprising: The instrument panel body is provided with an opening; a guide mechanism disposed inside the instrument panel body, having an inlet end communicating with the opening and a receiving path extending along a preset curved path, the receiving path forming a receiving space; A table top, composed of a plurality of plate units hinged in sequence, the table top can be slidably moved out of the opening or accommodated in the storage space; The abutment portion is arranged below the hinged portion of the adjacent plate units. When the adjacent plate units are in a planar state, the abutment portions abut against each other to limit their downward bending.

[0008] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0009] Furthermore, a locking mechanism is provided at the connection between adjacent plate units, and the locking mechanism includes: an interlock assembly movable between a locked position and an unlocked position; an elastic member, which applies an elastic force to the interlocking assembly in a direction of a locked position under normal conditions; A linkage trigger portion is exposed on the surface of the plate unit; In which, when the table top moves out of the opening, the interlocking assembly between the panel units moved out of the opening is in a locked position, preventing adjacent panel units from rotating relative to each other; an unlocking member is provided at the entrance end of the guide mechanism, and when the table top is retracted to the entrance end, the unlocking member contacts the linkage trigger part, driving the interlocking assembly to overcome the elastic force and move to the unlocking position.

[0010] Furthermore, the plate unit includes: A first plate, wherein two adjacent plate units are hinged to each other; The second board has an interlocking interface and includes: The groove portion is provided on one side of the second plate, and a lock hole is provided on the side wall thereof; A raised portion is provided on the other side of the second plate, and a side surface of the raised portion is provided with an alignment hole corresponding to the lock hole; an intermediate connecting plate, connected between the first plate and the second plate; Wherein, the locking mechanism is arranged at the interlocking interface of the adjacent second plates.

[0011] Furthermore, the interlocking assembly includes a locking rod slidably accommodated in the locking hole; the elastic member normally applies an elastic force to the locking rod to make it pass through the alignment hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the linkage trigger part is a driving rod, a first end of which extends to the surface of the second plate; a guide groove connected to the lock hole is opened on the surface of the second plate; the driving rod is arranged in the guide groove and fixedly connected to the lock rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the unlocking member is an inclined or curved guide surface; when the first end of the driving rod contacts the unlocking guide surface, the driving rod moves along the guide surface, driving the locking rod to exit the alignment hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the driving rod is arranged perpendicular to the locking rod, and its second end extends to the outer side surface of the second plate; the elastic member is a spring, one end of which is connected to the second end of the driving rod, and the other end is connected to a fixing member arranged on the outer side surface of the second plate; the spring acts on the driving rod, and applies an elastic force to the locking rod through the driving rod to make it pass through the alignment hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the storage path of the guide mechanism is greater than the length of the table top.

[0016] Furthermore, the instrument panel body has an arc-shaped surface and the inner side is a concave surface, and also includes an instrument panel tube beam. The instrument panel tube beam is a long strip structure, arranged on the inner side of the instrument panel body and parallel to its arc-shaped surface, and connected to the inner side of the instrument panel body through a mounting bracket.

[0017] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the inner side of the instrument panel body, and each mounting bracket includes two pillars, one end of which is connected to the end of the instrument panel tube beam, and the other end is respectively connected to the upper and lower parts of the inner side of the curved surface of the instrument panel body.

[0018] Furthermore, the guide mechanism uses two parallel guide rails, which are arranged inside the instrument panel body. The outer sides of the guide rails are connected to the instrument panel tube beam through guide rail brackets, and the storage ends of the guide rails are bent and extended around the instrument panel tube beam.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This embodiment adopts a rolling door-style table top design. By placing the hinge point upward and the abutment portion downward, combined with an upward-curved storage path, the table top can only bend and fold upward, and cannot bend downward. This allows the table top to naturally form a stable rigid plane under the action of gravity after being pulled out, reliably carrying objects. At the same time, the upward hinge design allows the table top to bend upward and retract along the storage path. In the event of a collision, the table top will collapse and deform inward like a rolling door, effectively absorbing impact energy through structural folding, significantly reducing the risk of leg impact on passengers, while optimizing the internal space utilization of the dashboard.

[0020] 2. In this embodiment, the rolling door-type table panel and the interlocking assembly work together. When the vehicle is driving normally, the interlocking assembly locks the panel unit into a rigid plane to provide stable rigid support, further ensuring the stability of the table panel and meeting daily use needs. When a collision occurs, the unlocking member at the entrance end of the guide mechanism automatically acts on the linkage trigger part. The unlocking member (such as the inclined guide surface) forcibly separates the locking mechanism through the linkage trigger part (such as the drive rod). The panel units can rotate relative to each other, realizing an instantaneous "rigid-flexible" conversion, so that the table panel is quickly unlocked and retracted along a preset curved path. The structural folding absorbs the impact energy effectively, significantly reducing the risk of leg collisions on the occupants, while optimizing the internal space utilization of the dashboard.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the described features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically specified.

[0025] In the description of this application, the term "for example" is used to mean "used as an example, illustration or explanation". Any embodiment described as "for example" in this application is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The following description is given to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use the present invention. In the following description, details are listed for the purpose of explanation. It should be understood that a person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the present invention can be implemented without using these specific details. In other examples, well-known structures and processes will not be elaborated in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention with unnecessary details. Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0026] Example This embodiment provides a small table for automobile interior decoration, such as Figure 1-2 Shown, including: The instrument panel body 1 is provided with an opening; a guide mechanism, disposed inside the instrument panel body 1, having an inlet end communicating with the opening and a receiving path extending along a preset curved path, the receiving path forming a receiving space; The table top 5 is composed of a plurality of plate units hinged in sequence, and the table top 5 can be slidably moved out of the opening or accommodated in the storage space; The abutment portion is arranged below the hinged portion of the adjacent plate units. When the adjacent plate units are in a planar state, the abutment portions abut against each other to limit their downward bending.

[0027] In this embodiment, the abutment portion is located at the lower part of the contact surface of the plate unit. When the adjacent plate units are in a planar state, the lower parts of their contact surfaces abut against each other, effectively limiting the downward bending of the plate units. The storage path is specifically upwardly curved. By placing the hinge point upward and the abutment portion downward, combined with the upwardly curved storage path, the table top 5 can only bend and fold upward, but cannot bend downward. This allows the table top 5 to naturally form a stable rigid plane under the action of gravity after being pulled out, and can reliably carry objects. At the same time, the upper hinge design allows the table top 5 to bend and retract upward along the storage path, realizing the automatic recovery function in the event of a collision.

[0028] In a possible embodiment, a locking mechanism is further included, which is provided at the connection between adjacent plate units, and the locking mechanism includes: an interlock assembly movable between a locked position and an unlocked position; an elastic member, which applies an elastic force to the interlocking assembly in a direction of a locked position under normal conditions; A linkage trigger portion is exposed on the surface of the plate unit; In which, when the table top 5 is moved out of the opening, the interlocking assembly between the panel units moved out of the opening is in a locked position, preventing adjacent panel units from rotating relative to each other; an unlocking member is provided at the entrance end of the guide mechanism, and when the table top 5 is retracted to the entrance end, the unlocking member contacts the linkage trigger part, driving the interlocking assembly to overcome the elastic force and move to the unlocking position.

[0029] In this embodiment, an interlocking assembly prevents adjacent panel units from rotating relative to each other when they are flat, further ensuring the stability of the tabletop 5. This embodiment utilizes a rolling-up tabletop 5 and a trigger-release mechanism to automatically retract and absorb energy in the event of a collision, preventing damage from rigid impacts. The coordinated design of the trigger and release mechanism ensures that the panel units are unlocked upon triggering, ensuring rapid collapse.

[0030] Specifically, the instrument panel body 1 has an arc-shaped surface and the inner side is a concave surface, and also includes an instrument panel tube beam 2. The instrument panel tube beam 2 is a long strip structure, which is arranged on the inner side of the instrument panel body 1 and parallel to its arc-shaped surface, and is connected to the inner side of the instrument panel body 1 through an installation bracket 3.

[0031] Specifically, the mounting bracket 3 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the inner side of the instrument panel body 1, and each mounting bracket 3 includes two pillars, one end of which is connected to the end of the instrument panel tube beam 2, and the other end is respectively connected to the upper and lower parts of the inner side of the curved surface of the instrument panel body 1.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 7-8 As shown, the guide mechanism uses two parallel guide rails 6, which are arranged on the inner side of the instrument panel body 1. The outer side of the guide rails 6 is connected to the instrument panel pipe beam 2 via the guide rail 6 bracket 4. The storage end of the guide rail 6 is curved and extends around the instrument panel pipe beam 2. The curved path is designed to guide the table top 5 for smooth storage.

[0033] Specifically, the stowage path of the guide mechanism is longer than the length of the tabletop 5, ensuring that the tabletop 5 can be completely stowed inside the instrument panel body 1. Because the stowage path is longer than the length of the tabletop 5, the outer edge of the tabletop 5 is flush with the opening during normal retraction; during impact retraction, the tabletop 5 can extend into the opening. The longer stowage path ensures that the tabletop 5 fully collapses and deforms inward, effectively absorbing impact energy through structural folding, further enhancing its energy absorption effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the instrument panel body 1 is injection molded and has an opening in the center with a rubber sealing strip around the edge. The opening may be in any shape, including but not limited to, a strip, a circle, an oval, or a rectangle, with a rectangle being preferred. The opening must have a minimum width greater than or equal to the width of the widest panel unit in the table top 5, allowing the table top 5 to be fully retracted or retracted within the opening.

[0035] The guide mechanism consists of two parallel rails 6 arranged in an arc along the inside of the instrument panel. The entrance end of the rails 6 is aligned with the opening, and the storage path is curved, extending around the rear of the instrument panel tube beam 2 to form a storage space, maximizing the use of the space inside the instrument panel. The table top 5 is composed of 6-8 panel units connected in sequence by hinges.

[0036] The expanded state of this embodiment describes how, when the user pulls the tabletop 5 outward, the panel unit slides out of the opening along the guide mechanism, and the interlocking components of the removed portion automatically lock, forming a rigid plane. The retracted state triggers the tabletop 5 to retract into the storage space during a collision. When the panel unit moves to the entrance, the linkage trigger contacts the unlocking member, driving the interlocking components to unlock, allowing the panel units to move relative to each other and be smoothly stored in the curved storage space. The energy absorption principle during an impact is as follows: after unlocking, the panel unit is freed from its constraints, curling and deforming along a curved path, absorbing the impact energy through material deformation.

[0037] like Figure 3-6 Shown and Figure 9-14 As shown, in a possible implementation, the plate unit includes: First plates 51, in two adjacent plate units, the two first plates 51 are hinged to each other; The second plate 52 is provided with an interlocking interface, including: The groove portion 55 is provided on one side of the second plate 52 and has a locking hole 56 formed on its side wall; The protrusion 54 is provided on the other side of the second plate 52 and has a side surface provided with an alignment hole 57 corresponding to the lock hole 56; an intermediate connecting plate 53 connected between the first plate 51 and the second plate 52; The locking mechanism is provided at the interlocking interface of the adjacent second plates 52 .

[0038] The interlocking assembly includes a locking rod 8 slidably received in the locking hole 56 ; the elastic member normally applies an elastic force to the locking rod 8 to make it pass through the alignment hole 57 .

[0039] In this embodiment, in two adjacent panel units, the two first panels 51 are connected by a hinge. The groove 55 of one second panel 52 nests with the raised portion 54 of the other second panel 52. The locking hole 56 of one second panel 52 and the alignment hole 57 of the other second panel 52 are coaxially aligned, ensuring that the locking rod 8 can simultaneously pass through the locking hole 56 and the alignment hole 57 to lock the two. When unlocked, the locking rod 8 can completely exit the alignment hole 57, ensuring that the adjacent panel units can rotate relative to each other. The locking rod 8 passing through the alignment hole 57 provides rigid support while allowing the panel units to separate and absorb energy after unlocking.

[0040] In one possible embodiment, the linkage trigger part is a drive rod 7, a first end of which extends to the surface of the second plate 52; a guide groove connected to the lock hole 56 is opened on the surface of the second plate 52; the drive rod 7 is arranged in the guide groove and is fixedly connected to the lock rod 8.

[0041] The unlocking member is an inclined or curved guide surface 11 ; when the first end of the driving rod 7 contacts the unlocking guide surface 11 , the driving rod 7 moves along the guide surface 11 , driving the locking rod 8 to exit the alignment hole 57 .

[0042] The driving rod 7 is arranged perpendicular to the locking rod 8, and its second end extends to the outer side surface of the second plate 52; the elastic member is a spring 9, one end of which is connected to the second end of the driving rod 7, and the other end is connected to a fixing member arranged on the outer side surface of the second plate 52; the spring 9 acts on the driving rod 7, and applies an elastic force to the locking rod 8 through the driving rod 7 to make it pass through the alignment hole 57.

[0043] In this embodiment, a drive rod 7 is positioned perpendicular to the locking rod 8, with one end extending to the surface of the second plate 52 as a linkage trigger. The drive rod 7 slides within the guide groove of the second plate 52, driving the locking rod 8 to extend into or out of the alignment hole 57. A spring 9 is connected at one end to the other end of the drive rod 7 and fixed at the other end to a fixing member, which is a boss 10 on the outside of the second plate 52. The drive rod 7 applies an elastic force to the locking rod 8, forcing it to penetrate the alignment hole 57. The mechanical forced unlocking design effectively avoids the risk of electronic sensor failure, while maintaining a simple structure and minimizing space requirements.

[0044] The process of pulling out the table top 5 in this embodiment: When the user pulls the table panel 5 outward, multiple hinged panel units slide out smoothly along the opening of the dashboard body 1. At this time, the spring 9 in the locking mechanism pushes the drive rod 7 to the locking position, driving the locking rod 8 to pass through the alignment hole 57 of the adjacent panel unit, so that the unfolded table panel 5 is instantly locked into a rigid integral frame; this segmented interlocking structure can stably bear heavy objects and meet the support needs of daily dining or office work. At the same time, the curved and extended storage guide rail 6 ensures that the pulling and pulling process is smooth and unobstructed.

[0045] The tabletop 5 retracts during this embodiment: When the tabletop 5 is pushed to retract or the vehicle encounters a collision, the thrust or impact forces the tabletop 5 to retract toward the inside of the instrument panel. When the linkage trigger contacts the inclined guide surface 11 at the entrance of the guide mechanism, the drive rod 7 slides along the inclined surface and compresses the spring 9, forcing the locking rod 8 to fully withdraw from the alignment hole 57. The unlocked panel unit then separates and retracts along a pre-set curved retraction path into the inside of the instrument panel body 1. During an impact, the tabletop 5 collapses and deforms inward like a rolling curtain, absorbing the impact energy through structural folding, allowing the entire tabletop 5 to retract into the inside of the instrument panel body 1. This prevents direct impact between the occupant's legs and the rigid structure, effectively reducing the impact force.

[0046] In summary, this embodiment achieves the dynamic rigid-flexible transition of the tabletop 5 through a purely mechanical structure: Under normal conditions, the locking rod 8, preloaded by the spring 9, provides a rigid, integrated support for the tabletop 5, maintaining its traditional functionality. However, when a collision is triggered, the forced linkage mechanism formed by the inclined guide surface 11 and the drive rod instantly releases the interlocking structure, endowing the hinged panel unit with rolling-curtain-like collapse properties, converting the impact into structural deformation and energy absorption. This design eliminates complex electronic sensing and addresses the existing issue of small tabletops causing user injury during collisions, achieving a balance of safety and functionality through a simple mechanical design.
