Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle decorative element of the type comprising a main body and at least one display surface extending above at least one area of ​​a first portion of the main body, the display surface extending between an outer surface forming at least a portion of the visible outer surface of the decorative element and an inner surface opposite to the outer surface, the display surface being a semi-reflective sheet, the decorative element further comprising at least one image generating unit arranged to display an image on the display surface when the image generating unit is activated, the image emitted by the image generating unit being reflected on the display surface so as to generate a virtual image in the background of the display surface, the main body comprising a second portion extending opposite to and away from at least a portion of the first portion of the main body in a height direction substantially perpendicular to the transverse axis, the second portion extending in the height direction between the inner surface and the outer surface opposite to the inner surface, the image generating unit being mounted on the second portion of the main body. Background Art

[0002] Today's passenger vehicles provide vehicle occupants with access to a wide range of information related to the vehicle (fuel level, light status, etc.) or, for example, to the external environment (weather, icing risk, air pollution, etc.). Furthermore, an increasing number of distracting distractions, such as audio-visual content, are provided to vehicle occupants, in particular (non-driving) passengers of the vehicle.

[0003] It is now known to have one or more image generation units that are configured to generate content and project the content onto a display surface that reflects the content towards the eyes of the vehicle occupants. The displayed information and content is typically visible to all vehicle occupants.

[0004] For example, three content display areas may be defined on the display surface, namely, a driver side area, a center area, and a passenger side area, each area displaying content dedicated to a viewer opposite thereto.

[0005] Generally speaking, a simple solution is to use a single display surface covering the three aforementioned display areas and to use one image generating unit also covering all three display areas, or to use several image generating units, each covering a separate display area.

[0006] However, these solutions are not entirely satisfactory.

[0007] In fact, if a single display surface covers all three display areas, the material cost of a display surface having a width comparable to the width of the three display areas combined results.

[0008] If one or more image generating units are used to cover all three display areas simultaneously, the available space is reduced and the footprint of the trim element increases. In addition, during operation, each image generating unit releases thermal energy, which helps to increase the temperature within the trim element, or even the temperature of the vehicle interior.

[0009] Furthermore, in each of the above cases, each display area is difficult to isolate according to the specific needs of each vehicle occupant. Summary of the Invention

[0010] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle trim element that can provide localized informative and / or entertaining content dedicated to a specific vehicle occupant.

[0011] To this end, at least one of the image generating unit and the display surface is movable along a transverse axis.

[0012] Since the image generating unit and the display surface are movable relative to each other along a transverse axis, the image generating unit and the display surface can be positioned relative to each other by moving the image generating unit or the display surface along the transverse axis in order to provide specific content dedicated to a specific occupant of the vehicle, who is positioned relative to the content displayed on the display surface.

[0013] Furthermore, since the image-generating unit and the display surface are movable relative to each other, one of the image-generating unit and the display surface can be designed to be narrower than the other, while still being able to position the image-generating unit and the display surface opposite each other. This reduces the space required in the decorative element and the material cost of the decorative element.

[0014] According to other advantageous aspects of the invention, the decorative element comprises one or more of the following features, considered alone or in any technically feasible combination:

[0015] - the decorative element comprises a displacement system for the image generating unit and / or the display surface, the displacement system being fixed to the second part of the body;

[0016] the displacement system comprises at least one rail extending along the transverse axis, the rail being integrated into the second part and guiding the displacement of the image generating unit along the transverse axis, and / or the rail being attached to the inner surface of the second part and guiding the displacement of the display surface along the transverse axis;

[0017] - a width of the image generating unit and / or the display surface along the transverse axis is strictly smaller than a width of the second portion of the body along the transverse axis;

[0018] - the image generating unit is movable relative to the display surface along the transverse axis;

[0019] the decorative element comprises an opaque element arranged along the transverse axis and attached on both sides of the image generating unit, the opaque element moving and / or deforming when the image generating unit moves along the transverse axis;

[0020] - the opaque element hides the displacement system from the outside of the decorative element;

[0021] - the display surface is movable along the transverse axis relative to the image generating unit;

[0022] - the decorative element comprises a plurality of image generating units; and

[0023] The display surface and the image generating unit are translatable along the transverse axis, the transverse axis displacement of the display surface being synchronized with the transverse axis displacement of the image generating unit. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a vehicle trim element 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention is disclosed.

[0029] Such a trim element 1 forms, for example, a vehicle dashboard, a center console, a door panel or the like.

[0030] The trim element 1 comprises a body 2 arranged to impart its general shape and mechanical properties to the trim element 1. The body 2 comprises at least a first portion 4 extending in a portion of the vehicle passenger compartment visible to at least one occupant of the vehicle. The first portion 4 extends in a height direction Z between an inner surface 5 and an outer surface 6 opposite the inner surface 5.

[0031] The height direction Z corresponds to, for example, a floor-to-ceiling direction of the vehicle, that is, the height of the vehicle.

[0032] The body 2 comprises a second portion 8 extending opposite and at a distance from at least a portion of the first portion 4 of the body 2 in the height direction Z. The second portion 8 extends in the height direction Z between an inner surface 9 and an outer surface 10 opposite the inner surface 9 .

[0033] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example shown, the decorative element 1 is a dashboard and the first portion 4 corresponds to the lower part of the body 2 which extends opposite the front occupant of the vehicle and serves as a support for several functional elements (such as the instrument panel, the glove box, the audio and / or air conditioning system, etc.).

[0034] The decorative element 1 comprises at least one display surface 12 extending over at least a region of the first portion 4 of the body 2 .

[0035] The display surface 12 extends, for example, in a direction inclined relative to the height direction Z, between the inner surface 9 of the second portion 8 of the body and the outer surface 6 of the first portion 4 of the body 2 .

[0036] The display surface 12 extends between an outer surface 13 forming at least part of the visible outer surface of the decorative element 1 and an inner surface 14 opposite the outer surface 13 .

[0037] The decorative element 1 further comprises at least one image generating unit arranged to display an image on the display surface 12 when the image generating unit is activated, the image emitted by the image generating unit being reflected on the display surface 12 .

[0038] The display surface 12 is a semi-reflective sheet configured to reflect an image projected by the image generating unit so as to generate a virtual image in the background of the semi-reflective sheet.

[0039] “Configured to reflect” means that when a light beam with a wavelength between 400 nm and 750 nm strikes the outer surface 13 and / or the inner surface 14 of the display element 12 , the light beam is partially reflected by the semi-reflective sheet.

[0040] The semi-reflective sheet is at least partially transparent.

[0041] Thus, in particular when the image generating unit is inactive, the outer surface 6 of the first part 4 of the body 2 can be seen by a user in the passenger compartment of the vehicle via the display surface 12 .

[0042] The semi-reflective sheet is made of, for example, plastic such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or glass.

[0043] exist Figure 1 and 2 In the example shown, the decorative element 1 comprises three image generating units 17, 18, 19 mounted on the second portion 8 of the body 2. Each image generating unit 17, 18, 19 is, for example, a screen illuminated by a plurality of light emitting diodes.

[0044] In this embodiment, each image generating unit 17, 18, 19 is for example integrated into the second part 8 of the body 2, or is for example assembled on the inner surface 9 of the second part 8 of the body 2 so as to project an image towards the outer surface 6 of the first part 4 of the body 2.

[0045] Each image generation unit 17 , 18 , 19 is configured to generate content and project the content onto a specific display area 21 , 22 , 23 of the display surface 12 when enabled.

[0046] In particular, each image generation unit 17 , 18 , 19 may be used to display on the display surface 12 information about the driving of the vehicle (speed, energy meter, safety pictograms, etc.), its geographical location, about the status of certain functions of the vehicle and / or to display audiovisual content;

[0047] For example, the first image generation unit 17 is configured to project information content onto the driver area 21 of the display surface 12, such as Figure 1 The driver of the vehicle faces the driver area 21 when, for example, sitting in the driver's seat.

[0048] For example, the second image generation unit 18 is configured to project information and / or entertainment content onto a central area 22 of the display surface 12. The central area 22 is located between the driver and passengers of the vehicle along the width of the vehicle and is visually visible to each of the driver and passengers of the vehicle.

[0049] For example, the third image generation unit 19 is configured to project entertainment content onto the passenger area 23 of the display surface 12, such as Figure 2 A passenger of the vehicle faces the passenger area 23 when, for example, sitting in a passenger seat.

[0050] According to the invention, the image generating units 17 , 18 , 19 and the display surface 12 are movable along a transverse axis T relative to each other.

[0051] In other words, at least one of the display surface 12 and the image generating units 17 , 18 , 19 is movable along the transverse axis T relative to the other, the other of the display surface 12 and the image generating units 17 , 18 , 19 being fixed or also movable.

[0052] The transverse axis T is, for example, perpendicular to the height direction Z and corresponds, for example, to the width of the vehicle, ie, the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0053] According to a first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the display surface 12 is movable along a transverse axis T relative to each image generating unit 17 , 18 , 19 .

[0054] In particular, in this example, the three image generating units 17 , 18 , 19 are fixed in the second part 8 of the body 2 , and the display surface 12 is movable along the transverse axis T relative to each of the image generating units 17 , 18 , 19 .

[0055] For example, the width of the display surface 12 taken along the transverse axis T is strictly smaller than the width of the second portion 8 of the body 12 taken along the transverse axis T. In particular, the width of the display surface 12 taken along the transverse axis T is strictly smaller than the width of the three image generating units 17 , 18 , 19 combined along the transverse axis T.

[0056] For example, the width of the display surface 12 is equal to the width of one or both image generating units 17 , 18 combined.

[0057] When the width of the display surface 12 is equal to the width of the image generation unit 17, the display surface 12 can be moved to at least three positions, wherein the display surface 12 faces the image generation unit in each of the three positions. Therefore, only the content generated and projected by the corresponding image generation unit (whose display surface 12 is facing) is displayed on the display surface 12.

[0058] When the width of display surface 12 is equal to the width of the two image generation units 17 and 18 combined, display surface 12 can be moved to at least two positions, wherein display surface 12 faces at least one image generation unit in each of the two positions. For example, display surface 12 faces at least second image generation unit 18 in each of the two positions, and the content generated and projected by second image generation unit 18 is always displayed on display surface 12 regardless of the position of display surface 12.

[0059] Thus, the display surface 12 can be moved along the transverse axis T from one end to the other of the second portion 8 of the body 2 in order to move successively relative to the respective image generating units 17 , 18 , 19 .

[0060] Figure 1 The display surface 12 is shown in a first position, facing the first image generating unit 17 .

[0061] Figure 2 The display surface 12 is shown in a second position, facing the third image generating unit 19 .

[0062] It will be appreciated that the display surface 12 may be moved to any intermediate position between the first position and the second position.

[0063] To this end, the decorative element 1 comprises, for example, a displacement system 25 for moving the display surface 12. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example shown, the displacement system 25 is fixed to the second part 8 of the body 2 .

[0064] The displacement system 25 comprises a rail 26 extending, for example, along the transverse axis T, which is attached to the inner surface 9 of the second portion 8 of the body 2 .

[0065] The track 26 is designed to engage an upper end 28 of the display surface 12 to guide movement of the display surface 12 along the transverse axis T.

[0066] A lower end 29 of the display surface 12 , opposite the upper end 28 , slides over the outer surface 6 of the first portion 4 .

[0067] In a variant not shown, the second track is provided on the outer surface 6 of the first portion 4 and engages with the lower end 29 of the display surface 12 to guide the movement of the display surface 12 along the transverse axis T.

[0068] Movement of display surface 12 is, for example, motorized, automatically controlled by a control unit (not shown), or manually controlled by an operator via interactive elements such as tactile surfaces or actuatable physical buttons on display surface 12 or elsewhere.

[0069] Alternatively, the display surface 12 may be manually moved by an operator in the vehicle (eg, by sliding the display surface 12 along the tracks 26 ) until the display surface 12 is in the desired position.

[0070] Each image generating unit 17 , 18 , 19 is configured to be activated, for example, only when the display surface 12 at least partially faces the respective image generating unit 17 , 18 , 19 .

[0071] For example, the decorative element 1 comprises a position sensor for tracking in real time the position of the display surface 12. Information about the position of the display surface 12 is transmitted to the control unit, which then controls the activation of the image generating units 17,18,19.

[0072] Thus, by moving the display surface 12 , the operator selects which image generating unit 17 , 18 , 19 is activated in order to provide specific, localized content for the needs of the vehicle occupants.

[0073] A non-illustrated variation of this first embodiment will now be briefly described.

[0074] In this variant, the decorative element 1 does not include three image generation units 17, 18, 19, but rather includes a single image generation unit, which is configured to independently generate images on three different image generation areas of the image generation unit and thus project the same or different content onto each display area 21, 22, 23 of the display surface 12.

[0075] In this variant, each specific image generation area of ​​an image generation unit is, for example, also configured to be activated only when the display surface 12 at least partially faces the respective image generation unit.

[0076] refer to Figure 3 , a second embodiment of a decorative element 100 according to the invention will now be described.

[0077] The first embodiment and the second embodiment of the present invention can be implemented completely independently of each other. As will be described later, the present invention also covers any technically possible combination of the embodiments and variants described below.

[0078] In the second embodiment, the decorative element 100 comprises one or two image generating units, each designed to successively generate content and project the content onto one of the display areas 21 , 22 , 23 of the display surface 12 .

[0079] In the example shown, the decorative element 100 comprises a single image generating unit 17 movable along a transverse axis T relative to the display surface 12 .

[0080] According to this example, the width of the image generating unit 17 along the transverse axis T is strictly smaller than the width of the second portion 8 of the body 2 along the transverse axis T. In particular, the width of the image generating unit 17 along the transverse axis T is strictly smaller than the width of the display surface 12 along the transverse axis T.

[0081] For example, the width of the image generating unit 17 is equal to the width of one or both display areas 21 , 22 , 23 combined.

[0082] When the width of the image generation unit 17 is equal to the width of the display area 21, the image generation unit 17 can be moved to at least three positions, and the image generation unit 17 faces the display areas 21, 22, and 23 in each of the three positions. Therefore, the content generated and projected by the image generation unit 17 is displayed only on the corresponding display area (the area faced by the image generation unit 17).

[0083] When the width of image generation unit 17 is equal to the width of the two display areas 21 and 22 combined, image generation unit 17 can be moved to at least two positions, with image generation unit 17 facing at least one display area in each of the two positions. For example, image generation unit 17 faces at least central area 22 in each of the two positions, and the content generated and projected by image generation unit 17 is always displayed on central area 22 regardless of the position of image generation unit 17.

[0084] Thus, the image generating unit 17 is movable along the transverse axis T from one end to the other of the second portion 8 of the body 2 so as to move successively relative to the three display areas 21 , 22 , 23 defined by the display surface 12 .

[0085] To this end, the decorative element 100 comprises, for example, a displacement system 35 for the image generating unit 17. Figure 3 In the example shown, the displacement system 35 is fixed to the second portion 8 of the body 2 .

[0086] The displacement system 35 comprises, for example, a rail 36 extending along the transverse axis T, which rail 36 is integrated into the second portion 8 of the body 2 .

[0087] The track 36 is designed to engage with a rear face 38 of the image generating unit 17 to guide movement of the image generating unit 17 along the transverse axis T.

[0088] The movement of the image generating unit 17 is for example motorized, automatically controlled by a control unit (not shown), or manually controlled by an operator via interactive elements such as tactile surfaces or actuatable physical buttons on the display surface 12 or elsewhere.

[0089] Alternatively, image-generating unit 17 may be moved manually by an operator in the vehicle (eg, by sliding image-generating unit 17 along rails 36 ) until image-generating unit 17 is in the desired position.

[0090] exist Figure 3 In the particular example shown, the decorative element 100 comprises an opaque element 45 arranged along the transverse axis T and attached on both sides of the image generating unit 17. For example, the opaque element 45 covers the inner surface 9 outside the image generating unit 17.

[0091] In particular, the opaque element 45 comprises a first portion 47 extending along the transverse axis T from a first edge 49 of the image-generating unit 17 to a corresponding first edge 51 of the second portion 8 of the body 2; and a second portion 53 extending along the transverse axis T from a second edge 55 of the image-generating unit 17 to a corresponding second edge 56 of the second portion 8 of the body 2. Figure 3 It will be appreciated that the first edge 49 and the second edge 55 of the image generating unit 17 face away from each other along the transverse axis T. Similarly, the first edge 51 and the second edge of the second portion 8 of the body 2 face away from each other along the transverse axis T.

[0092] The opaque element 45 is configured to move and / or deform when the image generating unit 17 moves along the transverse axis T.

[0093] In other words, the opaque element 45 accompanies the movement of the image generating unit 17 to cover the portion of the inner surface 9 of the second part 8 extending between each edge 49, 55 of the image generating unit 17 and each edge 51 of the second part 8 of the body 2, regardless of the position of the image generating unit.

[0094] For example, the opaque element 45 hides the displacement system 35 from the outside of the trim element 100. The displacement system 35 is then not visible to the vehicle occupants through the opaque element 45.

[0095] Advantageously, when the image generating unit 17 is activated, the opaque element 45 also prevents the edges 49 , 55 of the image generating unit 17 from being reflected on the display surface 12 and giving the display surface 12 an unsightly appearance.

[0096] The opaque element 45 is, for example, an opaque fabric or an opaque, preferably flexible, foldable plastic element.

[0097] In a variant not shown, the opaque element 45 is a rigid plastic element which, when the image generating unit 17 is moved along the transverse axis T, is inserted into or withdrawn from a corresponding recess in the second portion 8 of the body 2 .

[0098] The opaque element 45 has, for example, a certain aesthetic appearance, which imparts an aesthetic appearance to the inner surface 9 of the second portion 8 .

[0099] In a non-illustrated variant of the second embodiment, the decorative element 100 does not comprise one display surface 12, but rather two or three separate display surfaces, each delimiting one or more of the display areas 21, 22, 23. Each display surface is spaced apart from the adjacent display surface, for example along a transverse axis.

[0100] In a second variant, not shown, the decorative element 100 does not comprise one image generating unit 17 but two image generating units configured to move along the transverse axis T so as to face one of the display areas 21 , 22 , 23 .

[0101] The third embodiment of the present invention relates to a combination of the first and second embodiments described above.

[0102] Thus, for example, in this embodiment the decorative element comprises the image generating unit 17 and the display surface 12 .

[0103] The display surface 12 and the image generating unit 17 are movable in translation along a transverse axis T.

[0104] For example, the width of the display surface 12 taken along the transverse axis T is substantially equal to the width of the image generating unit 17 taken along the transverse axis T and is strictly smaller than the width of the second portion 8 of the body 2 taken along the transverse axis T.

[0105] Alternatively, the width of the display surface 12 along the transverse axis T is twice the width of the image generation unit 17 along the transverse axis T. Thus, in each of the positions of the display surface 12, the display surface 12 occupies the central area 22. As a result, in each position of the display surface 12, when the image generation unit 17 is opposite the central area 22, the content generated by the image generation unit is always displayed on the display surface 12, in particular on the central area 22. For example, the displacement along the transverse axis T of the display surface 12 is then synchronized with the displacement along the transverse axis T of the image generation unit 17.

[0106] "Synchronization" means that a control unit (not shown) links, for example, the displacement of one of the image generating unit 17 and the display surface 12 with the displacement of the other of the image generating unit 17 and the display surface 12. The combination of the two displacements reproduces the displacement of one of the image generating unit 17 and the display surface 12 on the other of the image generating unit 17 and the display surface 12. In other words, the image generating unit 17 and the display surface 12 follow each other along the transverse axis T.

[0107] Therefore, the positions of both the image generating unit 17 and the display surface 12 can be adjusted simultaneously by controlling the displacement of only the image generating unit 17 or the display surface 12 .

[0108] This synchronized shifting enables the display surface 12 and the image generating unit 17 to move in a linked manner so that they are always arranged opposite each other for displaying the content generated by the image generating unit 17 on the display surface 12 .

[0109] Independently of the embodiments described above, the decorative element 1 , 100 according to the invention has numerous advantages.

[0110] Since the image generating units 17, 18, 19 and the display surface 12 are capable of moving relative to each other along the transverse axis T, the image generating units 17, 18, 19 and the display surface 12 can be placed facing each other by moving the image generating units 17, 18, 19 or the display surface 12 along the transverse axis T so as to provide specific content dedicated to a specific occupant of the vehicle, who is facing the content displayed on the display surface 12.

[0111] Furthermore, since the image generating units 17, 18, 19 and the display surface 12 are movable relative to each other, one of the image generating units 17, 18, 19 and the display surface 12 can be designed to be narrower than the other. This reduces the space required in the decorative element 1, 100 and the material cost of the decorative element 1.

[0112] Finally, since the activation of the image generating units 17, 18, 19 is adapted to the position of the display surface 12 or to the position of the image generating units 17, 18, 19 themselves relative to the display surface 12, heat losses due to the continuous activation of the image generating units 17, 18, 19 are limited and the temperature inside the decorative element 1 is thus better controlled.

[0113] Furthermore, the present invention reduces the production costs of the decorative element by using, in at least one embodiment, a single movable image-generating unit rather than several fixed image-generating units.
