Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular to an instrument panel assembly and a cab and a vehicle having the same. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the design of table tops in vehicles usually focuses on space saving and concealment. Therefore, table tops are often designed to be hidden inside the cover of components such as the dashboard. Although this design meets the needs of space utilization to a certain extent, it also brings inconvenience in use. Specifically, when a passenger needs to use the table top, he must first flip open the outer cover and then unfold the table top to the use position. This process is not only cumbersome, but also particularly inconvenient to operate in a vehicle with a small space. In particular, when passengers carry a lot of items or the space is crowded, the process may become more complicated. In addition, the size of the traditional table top is limited by the size of the cover, and it is impossible to make full use of the interior space of the vehicle. The position and angle adjustment of the unfolded table top are limited, and it cannot meet the diverse needs of passengers.

[0003] Currently, no effective solutions have been proposed for the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0064] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0065] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application.

In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0066] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can, for example, be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0067] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the accompanying drawings, for the sake of clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to represent the same devices, and thus their descriptions will be omitted.

[0068] Combine Figures 1 to 12 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a dashboard assembly is provided.

[0069] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the instrument panel assembly includes an instrument panel body 30, a first plate body 10 and a second plate body 20; the first plate body 10 is connected to the instrument panel body 30; the second plate body 20 is rotatably connected to the first plate body 10 so that the second plate body 20 has a storage position and an expanded position. When the second plate body 20 is in the storage position, the second plate body 20 is in contact with the first plate body 10, and when the second plate body 20 is in the expanded position, the first plate body 10 and the second plate body 20 are set at an angle.

[0070] Using the technical solution of this embodiment, the first plate 10 is directly mounted on the instrument panel body 30, and the second plate 20 is rotatably connected to the first plate 10. The second plate 20 has a stowed position and an extended position. By switching the position of the second plate 20, when the second plate 20 is in the stowed position, the second plate 20 is aligned with the first plate 10, and the second plate 20 and the first plate 10 overlap (fold) and are stored on the instrument panel body 30, thus saving space occupied by the second plate 20. When the second plate 20 is in the extended position, the second plate 20 forms a certain angle with the first plate 10, making it easier for users to use the table top formed by the second plate 20 and the first plate 10 as needed. This makes the table top more convenient to use, as it can be deployed without additional steps. At the same time, the second plate 20 does not occupy excess space when in the stowed position, improving space utilization.

[0071] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, when the second plate 20 is in the stowed position, it is flush with the surface of the instrument panel body 30. By precisely positioning the second plate 20 relative to the first plate 10, the second plate 20 is ensured to be flush with the surface of the instrument panel body 30 in the stowed position, avoiding protrusions or depressions. This maintains the overall aesthetics and consistency of the instrument panel body 30, giving the dashboard in the cab a neater appearance without detracting from the overall aesthetics of the design due to the stowed table top.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the second plate 20 is in the storage position, its surface is precisely flush with the outer plane of the dashboard body 30, ensuring that the table top can be seamlessly integrated into the vehicle dashboard body 30 when not in use, keeping the interior of the vehicle neat and beautiful and maximizing the use of space. This not only improves the passengers' riding experience, but also effectively avoids the safety issues that may be caused by the table top when not in use.

[0073] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the second plate 20 has an extreme expansion position flush with the other end of the first plate 10. The second plate 20 is rotatably connected to the first plate 10 and has an initial storage position. At this time, the second plate 20 and the first plate 10 are folded and stored in the instrument panel body 30. During the rotation of the second plate 20, an angle is formed between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20. As the angle gradually increases, the use of the second plate 20 also changes. When the surface of the second plate 20 is flush with the surface of the first plate 10, the opening of the second plate 20 is the largest, and the second plate 20 is also in the extreme expansion position. When the second plate 20 is in the extreme expansion position, it forms a complete and flush tabletop together with the first plate 10, providing a wide and stable placement platform for placing or using the tabletop, thereby improving the practicality of the tabletop.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 12 As shown, a receiving cavity 100 is defined on the first plate 10. The receiving cavity 100 is used to store items and / or at least one of a heating element and a thermal insulation layer is disposed within the receiving cavity 100. By utilizing the internal space of the instrument panel body 30 and defining the receiving cavity 100 on the first plate 10, the receiving cavity 100 can be used to store items, or a heating element or thermal insulation layer can be installed within the receiving cavity 100 to provide additional functionality. This allows the tabletop to not only provide a flat surface for storage but also offer heating and thermal insulation services as needed, thereby enhancing the comfort and convenience within the cab.

[0075] It should be noted that the heating component includes an electric heating plate or an induction cooker, and the electric heating plate and the insulation layer can be arranged on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 100 to keep the items in the accommodating cavity 100 warm. Alternatively, an induction cooker can be arranged in the accommodating cavity 100, and the user can perform operations such as cooking through the induction cooker.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, the accommodating chamber 100 is configured as a hollow cavity for storing items. In another embodiment of the present application, the sidewalls of the accommodating chamber 100 are provided with insulation material, and the accommodating chamber 100 can be used to store food or drinks. Furthermore, the sidewalls of the accommodating chamber 100 can also be provided with electric heating plates for keeping food warm, or an insulation layer can be provided within the accommodating chamber 100 to refrigerate drinks or preserve food. In another embodiment of the present application, an induction cooker is integrated within the accommodating chamber 100 for cooking or heating food.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the second plate 20 has a receiving space 200, which is used to at least set a heating component. A heating component such as an electric heating plate is set in the receiving space 200 inside the second plate 20, which can provide heat to the user through the second plate 20 when using the table top.

[0078] It should be noted that the heating component provided in the second plate 20 in this embodiment does not include a cooking component such as an induction cooker. The heating component in this embodiment can be an electric heating wire, a heating film or an infrared heating component, which can generate a heating component suitable for human body temperature when powered on.

[0079] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a first connecting structure 23 is provided on the second plate 20, and a second connecting structure 31 is provided on the instrument panel body 30. The first connecting structure 23 has a connected state in which it cooperates with the second connecting structure 31, and a separated state in which it separates from the second connecting structure 31. The cooperation between the first connecting structure 23 and the second connecting structure 31 ensures stable fixation of the second plate 20 in the stowed position and quick release in the deployed position. This allows the table top to be securely fixed when not in use, preventing accidental deployment while the vehicle is in motion, and can be quickly unlocked when needed for easy operation.

[0080] It should be noted that when the first connecting structure 23 is connected, it tightly mates with the second connecting structure 31, forming a stable connection point. This ensures that the second panel 20 is securely connected to the instrument panel body 30 when deployed, providing the necessary support and stability. When the table top is not in use and needs to be folded up, the first connecting structure 23 can be separated from the second connecting structure 31, allowing the second panel 20 to move from the deployed position to the stowed position without being restricted by the connecting structure.

[0081] Optionally, the first connection structure 23 and the second connection structure 31 can be connected by means of snaps, magnetism, pins, etc.

[0082] Specifically, if Figure 11As shown, the first connecting structure 23 includes a first groove 231 and a first magnetic member 233 movably disposed in the first groove 231, and the second connecting structure 31 includes a second groove 311 and a second magnetic member 313 movably disposed in the second groove 311. When the first magnetic member 233 and the second magnetic member 313 are attracted, the first connecting structure 23 is in a connected state. By utilizing the magnetic force of the magnetic member and through the cooperation of the first groove 231 and the second groove 311, the automatic locking of the table top in the storage position and the automatic unlocking when unfolded are achieved, making the locking and unlocking process of the table top more automated, and improving the convenience and safety of operation. When the first magnetic member 233 and the second magnetic member 313 are attracted, under the action of the magnetic force, the first connecting structure 23 and the second connecting structure 31 are tightly connected to ensure that the table top remains stable in the storage position. The magnetic connection mechanism is faster than traditional clips or pins, allowing the tabletop to be deployed and retracted with a simple push or pull, significantly improving efficiency. Furthermore, compared to rigid mechanical connections, magnetic connections produce less noise during operation, preventing disruption to passengers' conversations or rest. Magnetic components are typically designed to be simple, reducing wear between components and avoiding the need for connecting slots on the first plate 10, second plate 20, or instrument panel body 30, as is required with traditional clip-on systems. This extends the tabletop's lifespan and facilitates routine cleaning and maintenance.

[0083] Furthermore, the first connecting structure 23 also includes a first elastic member 232, which is movably disposed in the first groove 231. The second connecting structure 31 also includes a second elastic member 312, which is movably disposed in the second groove 311. The first elastic member 232 is connected to the first magnetic member 233, and the first elastic member 232 is used to limit the movement of the first magnetic member 233 in the first groove 231. The second elastic member 312 is connected to the second magnetic member 313, and the second elastic member 312 is used to limit the movement of the second magnetic member 313 in the second groove 311. The elastic force of the elastic member controls the position of the magnetic member in the groove, ensuring a smooth transition between the locked and unlocked states of the magnetic member. At the same time, a certain damping effect is provided to prevent vibration of the magnetic member during vehicle driving, making the locking and unlocking process of the table top more stable and improving the reliability and service life of the table top structure.

[0084] It should be noted that the first elastic member 232 and the second elastic member 312 can be made of springs, springs or elastic materials. One end of the elastic member is connected to the groove, and the other end is connected to the magnetic member. Under normal conditions, the elastic member gives the magnetic member a certain pre-tightening force to limit its random movement in the groove, ensuring that the magnetic member remains in the correct position when not attracted. Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, one of the first magnetic member 233 and the second magnetic member 313 is configured as a spherical structure, and the other is configured as a groove-shaped structure. Before the first magnetic member 233 and the second magnetic member 313 are attracted, the elastic member is first compressed to absorb part of the impact energy, and then the magnetic members are slowly attracted within an appropriate distance, avoiding instantaneous strong impact sound and possible structural damage. Once attracted, the elastic member continues to play a role, limiting the subsequent movement of the magnetic members. The first magnetic member 233 and the second magnetic member 313 abut against each other to prevent the table top from loosening or shifting due to vibration or external force during use or vehicle driving, ensuring the stability and safety of the connection. This connection method with buffered attraction makes the process of unfolding and folding the table top smoother, the operation feel is better, and the noise and unnecessary vibration during use are reduced. At the same time, the structure of the elastic member is relatively simple and easy to replace and maintain. In addition, due to its existence, the wear of the magnetic member is reduced, which extends the service life of the table top connection structure.

[0085] Furthermore, any one of the first magnetic member 233 and the second magnetic member 313 is a magnetic material, the other of the first magnetic member 233 and the second magnetic member 313 is a magnetic material, or the other of the first magnetic member 233 and the second magnetic member 313 is a metal material. The first magnetic member 233 is made of a magnetic material (such as a permanent magnet), while the second magnetic member 313 is made of a metal material or a magnetic material (such as iron, steel or a magnet). When the second plate 20 is in the storage position, the magnetic material will naturally attract the metal material, causing the first magnetic member 233 and the second magnetic member 313 to fit tightly together, thereby fixing the position of the table top. By utilizing the magnetic force of the magnetic material, or the magnetic attraction between the magnetic material and the metal material, the table top can be automatically locked and unlocked, making the locking structure of the table top simpler, reducing the manufacturing cost, and improving the reliability and speed of the locking.

[0086] Furthermore, if Figures 6 to 8As shown, the instrument panel assembly further includes a connecting assembly 40, which includes a sleeve 42, a first rotating shaft 411, and a second rotating shaft 412. The first rotating shaft 411 is rotatably connected to the first plate 10, and the second rotating shaft 412 is rotatably connected to the second plate 20. The sleeve 42 is disposed between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20, and both the first rotating shaft 411 and the second rotating shaft 412 are disposed within the sleeve 42. The sleeve 42 is located between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 and acts as an intermediate bearing. The inner diameter of the sleeve 42 is slightly larger than the diameters of the first rotating shaft 411 and the second rotating shaft 412, allowing the first rotating shaft 411 and the second rotating shaft 412 to rotate freely within the sleeve 42 while maintaining sufficient tightness to ensure a secure connection. At the same time, the first rotating shaft 411 is rotatably connected to the first plate 10, while the second rotating shaft 412 is also rotatably connected to the second plate 20. This arrangement enables the two plates to rotate relative to each other about their respective rotating shafts, thereby achieving the folding or unfolding of the table top. The shaft sleeve 42 of the connecting assembly 40, the first rotating shaft 411, and the second rotating shaft 412 achieve stable rotation and positioning of the table top, while ensuring smoothness during the unfolding and folding process of the table top, making the unfolding and folding process smoother and maintaining stability in the unfolded position.

[0087] Specifically, if Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the first rotating shaft 411 and the second rotating shaft 412 each include multiple shaft segments 41, which are sequentially connected along the axial direction of the sleeve 42. The connection of multiple shaft segments 41 increases the flexibility and stability of the tabletop's rotation, while also being able to adapt to different usage angles. When the tabletop is unfolded, the angle can be flexibly adjusted according to the driver's needs, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, by sequentially setting multiple shaft segments 41 on the sleeve 42, shaft segments 41 may not be provided in the areas covered by the sleeve 42, thereby reducing the weight of the connecting assembly 40 and making the rotation of the second rotating shaft 412 and the first rotating shaft 411 smoother. At the same time, by only providing shaft segments 41 at the connection points, the mechanical strength of the entire connecting assembly 40 can be improved. The design of the multiple shaft segments 41 can also be customized according to specific space limitations and requirements. For example, the length and number of the shaft segments 41 can be adjusted to accommodate sleeves 42 or plates of different sizes, thereby achieving more efficient space utilization.

[0088] It should be noted that both the first rotating shaft 411 and the second rotating shaft 412 include multiple shaft segments 41, wherein the shaft segments 41 of the first rotating shaft 411 are arranged parallel to the shaft segments 41 of the second rotating shaft 412 to ensure smooth rotation between the second plate body 20 and the first plate body 10.

[0089] Furthermore, if Figure 8 、 Figure 9As shown, the connection assembly 40 also includes a limiter 43, which is disposed between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20. The limiter 43 includes a connecting portion 431 and a limiting portion 432. There are multiple connecting portions 431, each of which is used to connect to the first rotating shaft 411 and the second rotating shaft 412. The limiting portion 432 is used to limit the distance between the first rotating shaft 411 and the second rotating shaft 412, thereby limiting the opening degree of the second plate 20 when it is in the expanded position. The limiter 43 is mounted on the first rotating shaft 411 and the second rotating shaft 412 via the limiting portions 432. The multiple connecting portions 431 are respectively connected to the limiting portions 432, so that the limiting portion 432 forms a mechanical constraint connecting the two rotating shafts. During the tabletop's unfolding process, when the distance between the first and second rotational axes 411, 412 reaches the maximum value set by the length of the limiter 43 (i.e., when the second plate 20 is in the ultimate unfolded position), further rotation is restricted, thereby preventing the second plate 20 from over-expanding. The limiting action of the limiter 43 ensures that the tabletop's opening in the unfolded position does not exceed a preset range, preventing instability or damage caused by over-expansion. This ensures that the tabletop remains within a safe and stable opening range when unfolded, thereby enhancing its durability and safety.

[0090] The limiting principle of the limiting member 43 is as follows:

[0091] like Figure 9 As shown, the connecting portion 431 is sleeved on part of the shaft segment 41 and is hinged with the shaft segment 41. The length and width of the limiting portion 432 are predetermined values ​​according to the size of the table top. The connecting portion 431 is arranged on both sides of the limiting portion 432 and is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 411 and the second rotating shaft 412 respectively. When the second plate body 20 is in the storage position, part of the first plate body 10 abuts against one side of the limiting portion 432, and part of the second plate body 20 abuts against one side of the limiting portion 432. In the process of the second plate body 20 switching from the storage position to the expanded position, the first plate body 10 and the second plate body 20 are separated from the limiting portion 432 until they abut against the shaft sleeve 42. At this time, the second plate body 20 is in the extreme expanded position.

[0092] It should be noted that by adjusting the length and thickness of the limit part 432, the designer can accurately control the opening of the table top when it is in the unfolded position, that is, the diameter of the first rotating shaft 411 and the second rotating shaft 412, and the thickness of the limit part 43 are accurately calculated through the dimension chain to achieve the optimal position between the second plate body 20, the first plate body 10 and the dashboard body 30 when the table top is unfolded, so as to achieve the most ideal table top opening.

[0093] Furthermore, if Figure 8As shown, a damping member 44 is provided between at least a portion of the shaft sleeve 42 and the shaft section 41. The damping effect of the damping member 44 slows down the speed of the table top during deployment and folding, preventing impact when the table top is rapidly deployed or folded, while also providing a certain amount of friction to ensure the stability of the table top at a specific angle.

[0094] In this embodiment, the damping element 44 is typically made of a material with high damping properties, such as silicone oil, damping rubber, or a damping spring. When a passenger unfolds or folds the tabletop, the damping element 44 generates an appropriate damping force based on the tabletop's movement speed, ensuring smooth and controlled movement. This prevents the tabletop from rapidly falling due to gravity or suddenly springing open when unfolded, thereby improving user safety and comfort. Furthermore, the damping effect generated by the damping element 44 during the tabletop's movement effectively absorbs vibration and noise during movement, preventing passengers from being unnecessarily disturbed while using the tabletop and reducing wear on the tabletop structure.

[0095] Furthermore, if Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, the sleeve 42 has an outer decorative surface 420. When the second plate body 20 is in the storage position, one side of the second plate body 20 is arranged flush with the outer decorative surface 420. When the second plate body 20 is in the expanded position, at least part of the first plate body 10 and the second plate body 20 are in contact with the outer decorative surface 420. The outer decorative surface 420 is used to cover the shaft segment 41, the limit member 43, and the damping member 44. In the storage position, one side of the second plate 20 remains flush with the outer surface 420, which means that when the table top is not in use, the outer surface 420 can be seamlessly integrated into the interior decoration of the vehicle, keeping the dashboard area neat and integrated without destroying the beauty of the vehicle interior; when the second plate 20 is unfolded, at least part of the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 abut against the outer surface 420, which not only plays a limiting role, but also ensures that in daily use, the internal mechanical structures such as the shaft section 41, the limiter 43, and the damping member 44 are protected, reducing the possibility of direct exposure to the outside and suffering from wear or damage.

[0096] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a handle 24 is further provided on the second plate 20, and at least a portion of the handle 24 protrudes from the surface of the second plate 20. The protruding handle 24 provides the driver with an easy-to-grip area, facilitating the unfolding and folding of the table top, making the operation of the table top more convenient. The driver only needs to gently pull the handle 24 to easily unfold or fold the table top, thereby improving usage efficiency.

[0097] Furthermore, the second panel 20 has a support surface 21 and a decorative surface 22. When the second panel 20 is in the stowed position, the support surface 21 is aligned with at least a portion of the surface of the first panel 10, and the decorative surface 22 is flush with the surface of the instrument panel body 30. When the second panel 20 is in the deployed position, the support surface 21 is flush with at least a portion of the surface of the first panel 10. The arrangement of the support surface 21 and the decorative surface 22 ensures the aesthetics of the second panel 20 in the stowed position and its stability in the deployed position. When the second panel 20 is stowed, this design ensures that the second panel 20 occupies minimal space in its folded state, while providing a stable foundation to prevent the tabletop from expanding or shifting due to vibration during driving. The decorative surface 22 is flush with the surface of the instrument panel body 30, maintaining a clean and professional look in the cab. When deployed, the support surface 21 is flush with the surface of the first panel 10, providing a stable and flat placement platform.

[0098] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, a cab is provided, comprising a dashboard assembly, which is the dashboard assembly described in the above embodiment. The dashboard assembly described in the above embodiment is integrated into the cab, providing a tabletop solution that combines aesthetics, practicality, and safety. This significantly improves cab space utilization and comfort, allowing the driver to enjoy a more convenient and comfortable experience while driving or resting.

[0099] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first plate body 10 is arranged on the instrument panel body 30, the instrument panel body 30 is arranged in the cab, and the first plate body 10 is arranged close to the co-pilot seat of the cab. The first plate body 10 can extend to the side window interior panel of the co-pilot seat to increase the area of ​​the table board and meet the user's personalized needs.

[0100] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, a vehicle is further provided. The vehicle has a cab, and the cab is the cab in the above embodiment.

[0101] It can be seen from the above description that the dashboard assembly in the above embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0102] The dashboard assembly not only optimizes the tabletop's user experience, making it more convenient and intuitive, allowing it to be deployed without additional steps, but also ensures its stability and durability through precise dimensional chain calculations. The magnetic locking method enhances safety and prevents accidental opening during driving. The tabletop also offers functional options such as heating and induction cooking, greatly enhancing the comfort and practicality of the cabin. In addition, the rational use of the tabletop's internal space, adding storage space or other structures, further meets the driver's diverse needs.
