[0060] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0061] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the technical terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.

[0062] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the technical terms such as "installation", "connection", "joining", and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can also refer to mechanical connections. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0063] The following flowchart illustrates the operations performed according to the manufacturing method of the panel component. It should be understood that, depending on the actual situation, the preceding or following operations may not necessarily be performed precisely in sequence. Other operations may be added to these processes, or one or more steps may be removed from them. While the panel components disclosed in this application are applicable to the surfaces of vehicle interior components, i.e., interior panels, such as door side panels, headliners, dashboards or instrument panels, center consoles, etc., and the forms of these interior components are diverse, they are not limited thereto. For example, they can also be applied to other transportation applications, such as railway trains, ships, and airplanes. The application of the interior panel components disclosed in this application is not limited to any transportation vehicle. As long as the panel components of this application can be used to meet the personalized needs of different users, or different panel visual patterns of the same user, at a lower manufacturing cost, the panel components of this application are applicable.

[0064] refer to Figure 1 As shown, a vehicle, for example, includes interior components 1000, such as dashboard 1001, door panels 1002, and center console 1003. Currently, dashboard 1001 and door panels 1002 are generally separate structures, which can be clearly distinguished visually. However, it is not impossible that dashboard 1001 and door panels 1002 have similar structures, forming a vehicle interior system that visually presents dashboard 1001 and door panels 1002 as an integrated unit.

[0065] Interior panel 10 may be at least a portion of interior trim 1000, providing at least a portion of the surface of interior trim 1000 to have a targeted personalized pattern 101 on the surface of interior trim 1000. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the target personalized pattern 101 can be a complex image, such as a photo of a sunflower as shown in the figure, or it can be a work of art such as cartoons or anime, but it is not limited to this. For example, icons and their combinations are also acceptable. Figure 3 As shown, the interior trim piece 1000 with interior trim panel 10 is a detachable component, for example... Figure 3 The sub-dashboard shown is a detachable component that can be detachably attached to the vehicle for easy replacement, meeting the user's personalized needs.

[0066] refer to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the method of manufacturing the interior panel 10 includes the following steps:

[0067] S100. Server device 1 acquires the initial data of the target personalized surface pattern 101 of the interior panel and the initial data of the interior panel 10;

[0068] Based on the initial data of the personalized surface pattern 101 of the target interior panel and the initial data of the interior panel 10, the server device 1 outputs manufacturing instructions that can be read by the 3D printing device 2. The manufacturing instructions include first manufacturing instruction data corresponding to the manufacturing of the personalized surface pattern 101, second manufacturing instruction data corresponding to the manufacturing of the interior panel substrate 102, and third manufacturing instruction data corresponding to the manufacturing of the interior panel circuit 103.

[0069] The S200 3D printing equipment 2 is configured to integrally manufacture an interior panel 10 in response to a manufacturing instruction. The interior panel 10 has a target personalized surface pattern 101, an interior panel substrate 102, and an interior panel circuit 103.

[0070] The server-side equipment here, also known as a server, is specialized software and / or hardware in a network environment that provides a certain service to clients. The main tasks of the server include receiving client requests, processing requests, and returning results. The specific form of the server-side equipment can be a conventional server, a cloud server, or a server array. Correspondingly, client-side equipment can include user input devices such as desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, smartwatches, and even smart devices like vehicles with in-vehicle infotainment systems. It also includes 3D printing equipment that receives and reads readable license instructions generated by the server-side equipment. For example... Figure 3 Users can upload personalized images on the client, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, users can take photos using their smartphones and upload these photos as the initial personalized surface pattern for the interior panel to the server device via a smartphone app. It is understood that the photos can also be imported to other smart devices and uploaded to the server device via a website, PC program, etc., and this is not a limitation. The initial data for the target personalized surface pattern 101 can be, for example, the original image uploaded by the user.

[0071] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, based on the initial surface personalization pattern 1011, one or more processed surface personalization patterns 1012 are output. The processed surface personalization pattern 1012 has interior panel circuitry and interior panel surface light effect 1013. The process of processing the initial surface personalization pattern 1011 to output one or more processed surface personalization patterns 1012 can be implemented in the client program and / or on the server. Generally, since the server has stronger computing power, it is usually performed on the server device.

[0072] The purpose of this processing is primarily to allow users to select appropriate touch buttons and / or lighting effects for the human-machine interface of the interior panels. For example... Figure 3As shown, the initial surface personalization pattern 1011 uploaded by the user is an image with multiple sunflowers. Then, one or more processed surface personalization patterns 1012, after having interior panel circuitry, have an interior panel surface lighting effect 1013. This effect can be, as shown in the figure, using a portion of the flower head of one or more sunflowers as a touch position 10131 and / or a light-emitting position 10132. Figure 3 The illuminated circular touch button shown can be understood as representing multiple different processed surface personalization patterns 1012 that share the same initial surface personalization pattern 1011, for example, all based on the same user-uploaded sunflower photo, but with different touch positions 10131 and / or illumination positions 10132. Figure 3 The location shown in the image can be the flower head of another sunflower in the photo, or the petals, leaves, or other parts of the sunflower in the photo; there are no limitations on this.

[0073] In some embodiments, the method for allowing users to select appropriate touch buttons and / or light effects for the human-computer interaction interface of the interior panel can be to automatically generate multiple suggested personalized patterns 1012 for the processed surface on the server or client side. For example, it can automatically identify the positions of the sunflower's flower head, petals, leaves, etc. in the image through image recognition, machine learning, and other algorithms, and generate suitable schemes as touch positions 10131 and / or light-emitting positions 10132. Alternatively, it can guide the user to make their own selection. The user can manually select any position in the image, such as the sunflower's flower head, petals, leaves, etc. in the image, as the touch position 10131 and / or light-emitting position 10132, and generate the corresponding personalized pattern 1012 for the processed surface in real time. If the user is not satisfied with the personalized pattern 1012 for the processed surface, the user can change the position in the image as the touch position 10131 and / or light-emitting position 10132 and generate a new personalized pattern 1012 for the processed surface, until the user gets a satisfactory result. It is understood that during the process of obtaining the personalized surface pattern 1012 after processing, the user can also perform other image editing operations on the initial personalized surface pattern 1011, such as applying filters such as sharpening, blurring, and feathering to one or more parts of the image, or performing stretching, compression, or deleting a part of the image, etc. Image processing is performed before or after image editing to obtain the interior panel circuitry and the interior panel surface light effect 1013. After the user confirms that the processed personalized surface pattern 1012 meets the requirements, the processed personalized surface pattern 1012 that meets the requirements is used as the target personalized surface pattern 101, and the server device 1 obtains the initial data of the target personalized surface pattern 101 of the interior panel.

[0074] The initial data for the interior panel 10 can include the type of interior panel 10, the vehicle model it is compatible with, etc. Based on this initial data, the corresponding detailed data for the interior panel substrate 102 can be obtained. Similarly, the initial data for the interior panel 10 can also be uploaded to the server by the user via an app on a smart device such as a smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, or vehicle. This includes parameters such as the structural dimensions and materials of the interior panel substrate 102. The interior panel substrate 102 generally has a certain structural strength. It can be a composite material or a plastic. Plastics can be common polypropylene (PP) plastics, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS plastic), PC / ABS alloy (ABS engineering plastic), etc. Composite materials can be fiber-reinforced plastics composed of plastics and natural or synthetic fibers, such as natural fiber reinforced PP plastic (NFPP), glass fiber reinforced PP plastic (GFPP), rCF NFPP (a composite material composed of 40% natural fibers, 50% polypropylene, and 10% recycled carbon fiber), or a composite material combining natural hemp fibers and PP. Natural fibers can include wood fibers, kenaf, hemp, jute, flax, ramie, rattan, soybeans, okra (coffee okra), banana plants, bamboo, coconut, coconut shell fiber, cotton fabrics, curaua fiber (pineapple leaf fiber), Manila hemp, pine, pineapple, raffia palm leaf (raffia farinifera), and / or sisal. Synthetic fibers include, for example, carbon fiber, polyester fiber, acrylic fiber, aramid fiber, Twaron fiber, Kevlar fiber, Technoral fiber, Vinalon fiber, Zylon fiber, and / or polypropylene fiber, etc.

[0075] 3D printing equipment 2 refers to equipment capable of performing 3D printing steps, but it is not limited to just 3D printing. While performing 3D printing, it can also perform other manufacturing steps, such as... Figures 4A to 4I In the steps shown, the 3D printing equipment can perform photopolymer 3D printing and flexible circuit printing.

[0076] The output manufacturing instructions are readable by the 3D printing equipment 2. The manufacturing instructions include first manufacturing instruction data corresponding to the manufacturing of personalized surface pattern 101, second manufacturing instruction data corresponding to the manufacturing of interior panel substrate 102, and third manufacturing instruction data corresponding to the manufacturing of interior panel circuit 103. The form of the instructions can be, for example, files in formats such as STL, OBJ, AMF, PLY, and 3MF that can be read by the 3D printing equipment, but this is not a limitation. The first manufacturing instruction data, the second manufacturing instruction data, and the third manufacturing instruction data can be distributed in one or more files.

[0077] The interior panel circuit 103 may include electronic components such as chips, capacitors, resistors, inductors, switches, and connectors, as well as light-emitting elements and touch sensors composed of one or more electronic components, forming the light-emitting circuit 1031 and the touch sensor circuit 1032.

[0078] Since the structural parameters of the interior panel substrate 102 corresponding to the initial data of the interior panel 10 are generally generic data, rather than personalized data such as personalized surface patterns uploaded by users, the second manufacturing instruction data for manufacturing the interior panel substrate 102 is generally generic data. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the light-emitting circuit 1031 and touch sensor circuit 1032 included in the interior panel circuit 103 are also relatively generic circuits and electronic devices. Therefore, in some embodiments, the server device 1 is configured to: based on the initial data of the personalized surface pattern 101 of the target interior panel and the initial data of the interior panel 10, retrieve the second manufacturing instruction data corresponding to the interior panel substrate 102 of the interior panel 10 from the interior panel substrate manufacturing database 111; and retrieve the third manufacturing instruction data corresponding to the manufacturing of the interior panel circuit 103 from the interior panel circuit manufacturing database 112. This can further improve the response speed of the manufacturing method. The personalized surface pattern 101 is generally based on highly personalized data uploaded by the user. Therefore, the first manufacturing instruction data corresponding to the personalized surface pattern 101 generally needs to be generated by the server device 1 through certain calculations and cannot be directly obtained from the database. It is understood that the data for the interior panel substrate manufacturing database 111, the interior panel circuit manufacturing database 112, the initial data of the user-uploaded target personalized surface pattern 101, and the related processed personalized surface pattern 1012 and interior panel surface gloss effect 1013 are all anonymized data, and are only accessible to authorized entities; unauthorized entities do not have access to read them. Server-side device 1 and 3D printing device 2 are also not permitted to access, store, delete, or share user-uploaded personalized surface patterns and other data without user authorization.

[0079] refer to Figures 4A to 4IAs shown, in some embodiments, the 3D printing equipment 2 is configured to integrally manufacture the interior panel 10 in response to a manufacturing instruction, including the following steps:

[0080] S201. For example Figure 4B , Figure 4C , Figure 4D As shown, the first part 1021 of the interior panel substrate 102 is manufactured;

[0081] S202. For example Figure 4E As shown, interior panel circuitry 103 is manufactured on the first part 1021;

[0082] S203. For example Figure 4F As shown, after manufacturing the interior panel circuit 103, a second part 1022 of the interior panel substrate 102 is manufactured to cover the interior panel circuit 103.

[0083] S202 and S203 can also be referenced. Figure 4G , Figure 4H The process is shown.

[0084] S204. For example Figure 4I As shown, a personalized surface pattern 101 is created on the second part 1022.

[0085] After S204, appropriate surface treatment can be performed to obtain the interior panel 10. As described above, the interior panel 10 obtained by any of the manufacturing methods described in the above embodiments has an integrally formed and connected target personalized surface pattern 101, interior panel substrate 102, and interior panel circuit 103.

[0086] As described above, the 3D printing process can involve manufacturing the first part 1021 and the second part 1022 of the interior panel substrate 102 using photopolymer 3D printing. This could be DLP photopolymer 3D printing or SLA photopolymer 3D printing, as shown in the figure using an ultraviolet light projection head 201, but this is not a limitation; other suitable 3D printing processes can also be used. Furthermore, the second part 1022 covering the interior panel circuitry 103, especially the part covering the light-emitting circuitry 1031, can be 3D printed using partially or entirely transparent materials, such as PC or PMMA. As for the interior panel circuitry 103, it can be printed onto the first part 1021 using flexible electronic devices, such as the flexible electronic printhead 202 shown in the figure. The printing material can be silver paste ink, carbon nanotube ink, etc., to manufacture the interior panel circuitry 103.

Furthermore, in embodiments employing a distributed structure, the specific execution terminal for each step can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and the specific scheme for implementing each step on a specific terminal should not limit the scope of protection of this application.
