Detailed Implementation
[0037] The embodiments of the technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0038] A car projector is a miniature projection device designed specifically for the automotive environment. It can project navigation, entertainment, or lighting images onto the car's ceiling, seat backs, windows, and even the ground outside the car, turning the car into a "mobile cinema," "information screen," or "light show" while the car is moving or parked.
[0039] In related technologies, vehicle projectors are installed on the sheet metal parts of a vehicle by magnetic adsorption. However, since there are no exposed sheet metal structures inside the vehicle body, and the areas with sheet metal are covered by plastic parts, vehicle projectors may not be installed securely, making it impossible to use the projector while driving.
[0040] Therefore, the present invention provides a vehicle-mounted projector 100, which enables stable installation of the vehicle-mounted projector 100, facilitates the use of the projector while driving, and improves the user experience.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted projector 100 includes a projector body 10, a first magnetic body 20 and a first locking component 30.
[0042] The first magnetic body 20 is disposed on the projector body 10 and configured to magnetically engage with the second magnetic body 70 of the vehicle. The first locking component 30 is movably disposed on the projector body 10 and has a locking position and an unlocking position. The first locking component is configured to move between the locking position and the unlocking position, and locks the projector body 10 to the vehicle when in the locking position, and releases the locking of the projector body 10 when in the unlocking position. In this way, the installation strength of the vehicle projector 100 can be improved, making it easier for users to use the vehicle projector 100 while driving.
[0043] The working principle of the vehicle-mounted projector 100: During installation, the projector body 10 can be brought close to the second magnetic body 70. At this time, the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70 magnetically engage, and the second magnetic body 70 can attract the projector body 10 with a certain force, reducing the weight of the projector body 10. Subsequently, the projector body 10 can be completely attached to the second magnetic body 70, so that the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70 can be tightly attracted. Then, the first locking component 30 can be moved to the locking position, thereby locking the projector body 10 to the vehicle, realizing the installation of the vehicle-mounted projector 100. Moreover, under the magnetic engagement of the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70, and the locking effect of the first locking component 30, the vehicle-mounted projector 100 has a high installation strength with the vehicle body, preventing the vehicle-mounted projector 100 from falling off during vehicle movement, making it convenient for users to use the vehicle-mounted projector 100 while driving, and improving the user experience.
[0044] During disassembly, the first locking component 30 can be moved to the unlocked position to release the locking of the projector body 10. At this time, by overcoming the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70, the projector body 10 can be removed from the vehicle, making it convenient for users to use for outdoor camping and improving its applicability.
[0045] In summary, according to the vehicle-mounted projector 100 of the present invention, the first magnetic body 20 of the vehicle-mounted projector 100 and the second magnetic body 70 of the vehicle can be magnetically coupled, allowing the vehicle-mounted projector 100 to be securely attached and installed inside the vehicle. Furthermore, the first locking component 30 further enhances the installation strength of the vehicle-mounted projector 100, facilitating its use while driving and improving the user experience. Moreover, no additional storage space is required for the vehicle-mounted projector 100, thus improving space utilization.
[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first locking component 30 extends out of the projector body 10 when in the locked position and engages with the first locking groove of the vehicle. When in the unlocked position, the first locking component 30 disengages from the first locking groove of the vehicle and retracts into the projector body 10. This configuration improves the installation strength of the vehicle projector 100 by engaging the first locking component 30 with the first locking groove, making it easier for users to use.
[0047] Understandably, the vehicle is provided with a first locking groove corresponding to the projector body 10; the first locking component 30 is movably disposed on the projector body 10 and can extend and retract relative to the projector body 10; when installation is required, the first locking component 30 can extend out of the projector body 10 and engage with the first locking groove of the vehicle, so that the vehicle-mounted projector 100 can be stably installed on the vehicle for easy use by the user; when disassembly is required, the first locking component 30 can retract the projector body 10 and disengage from the first locking groove of the vehicle, so that the vehicle-mounted projector 100 can be removed from the vehicle, making it convenient for the user to remove and use the vehicle-mounted projector 100 when camping outdoors.
[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first locking assembly 30 includes a first locking member 31, a second locking member 32, and a first driving member 33. The first locking member 31 is movably disposed on the projector body 10 and configured to engage with a first locking groove in the vehicle. The second locking member 32 is configured to lock and unlock the first locking member 31. The first driving member 33 is configured to have a driving force to drive the first locking member 31 from an unlocked position to a locked position. This configuration, through the engagement of the first locking assembly 30 with the first locking groove, improves the installation strength of the vehicle-mounted projector 100 and facilitates user operation.
[0049] Installation principle of the vehicle-mounted projector 100: During installation, the second locking member 32 can release the locking of the first locking member 31. At this time, the first locking member 31 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position under the action of the first driving member 33, so as to be embedded in the first locking groove of the vehicle. The first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70 magnetically cooperate to realize the installation of the vehicle projector 100.
[0050] During disassembly, the first locking member 31 can be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position by overcoming the driving force of the first driving member 33. At this time, the second locking member 32 can lock the first locking member 31, and the vehicle projector 100 can be disassembled by overcoming the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70.
[0051] In some specific examples, the first driving member 33 is set as the first elastic member, which has an elastic force that drives the first locking member 31 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position.
[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments of the present invention, the first locking assembly 30 further includes a second driving member. The second locking member 32 is movably disposed on the projector body 10. The first locking member 31 has a locking hole, and the second locking member 32 is detachably inserted into the locking hole. The second driving member is configured to drive the second locking member 32 to be inserted into and detached from the locking hole. In this way, the first locking member 31 can be automatically locked and automatically unlocked, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the vehicle projector 100.
[0053] For example, the projector body 10 is provided with a locking button and an unlocking button, which are communicatively connected to the second driving component. By pressing the locking button, the second driving component can drive the second locking component 32 to embed into the locking hole of the first locking component 31, thereby locking the first locking component 31. By pressing the unlocking button, the second driving component can drive the second locking component 32 to disengage from the locking hole of the first locking component 31, thereby unlocking the first locking component 31. In this way, the first locking component 31 can be automatically locked and automatically unlocked, improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly.
[0054] like Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the projector body 10 has a horizontally extending groove 11, and the first locking member 31 has a slider 311, which slides in cooperation with the groove 11. Thus, the movement of the first locking member 31 is guided by the cooperation between the slider 311 and the groove 11, thereby improving the working stability of the first locking assembly 30.
[0055] For example, the second magnetic body 70 is disposed on the inner top surface of the vehicle, the first magnetic body 20 is disposed on the top of the projector body 10, the first locking member 31 assembly is disposed on the side of the projector body 10 in the horizontal direction, and the first locking groove is disposed on the inner top surface of the vehicle. During installation, the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70 magnetically engage, the second locking member 32 releases its lock on the first locking member 31, the first locking member 31 and the first locking groove are opposite each other in the horizontal direction, and under the action of the first driving member 33, the first locking member extends out of the projector body 10 to be embedded in the first locking groove, thereby realizing the installation of the vehicle projector 100. During this process, the slider 311 engages with the slide groove 11 to guide the first locking member 31 to move smoothly in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the working stability of the first locking assembly 30 and preventing the first locking member 31 from deviating from the predetermined movement trajectory, which would prevent the vehicle projector 100 from being installed.
[0056] Furthermore, in some specific examples, the slide groove 11 includes a first slide groove portion and a second slide groove portion, and the slider 311 includes a first slider portion and a second slider portion. The first slider portion can slide and engage with the first slide groove portion, and the second slider portion can slide and engage with the second slide groove portion. In this way, the first locking member 31 can be guided to move stably, improving the working stability of the first locking assembly 30. Moreover, the first locking groove of the vehicle extends in the horizontal direction, and the first locking groove has a channel in the vertical direction along the horizontal direction. The first slider portion can be engaged with the first locking groove, and the second slider portion can be engaged with the through groove. That is to say, when the first locking member 31 engages with the first locking groove, the second slider portion is exposed outside the first locking groove through the through groove. In this way, the user can drive the first locking member 31 from the locked position to the unlocked position through the second slider portion, improving the convenience of disassembly.
[0057] like Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the projector body 10 has two opposite sides along the horizontal direction, and the first locking component 30 includes two, with corresponding first locking components 30 provided on the opposite sides of the projector body 10 respectively; this arrangement can improve the installation stability of the vehicle projector 100 and prevent the vehicle projector 100 from falling off when the vehicle is in motion.
[0058] It is understood that the vehicle is provided with two first locking grooves that are opposite each other in the horizontal direction. One first locking groove corresponds to one first locking component 30, and the other first locking groove corresponds to another first locking component 30. Through the cooperation between the two locking components and the two first locking grooves respectively, the connection area between the projector body 10 and the vehicle can be increased, thereby improving the installation strength and installation stability of the projector body 10.
[0059] like Figures 1 to 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted projector 100 further includes a locking rod, the projector body 10 has a locking hole 12, one end of the locking rod 80 is used to connect to the vehicle body, the other end of the locking rod 80 is detachably embedded in the locking hole 12, and the locking rod 80 is configured to adjust its own length; in this way, the projector body 10 can be pre-positioned, which facilitates the installation of the vehicle-mounted projector 100.
[0060] Understandably, during installation, the locking hole 12 of the projector body 10 can be aligned with the locking rod 80 of the vehicle, and the locking rod 80 of the vehicle can be inserted into the locking hole 12 of the projector body 10. Through the insertion and cooperation of the locking rod 80 and the locking hole 12, the projector body 10 can be pre-positioned, which facilitates the subsequent installation and assembly of the projector body 10.
[0061] Furthermore, the length of the locking lever 80 is adjustable. When the projection height needs to be adjusted, the first locking component 30 can be switched from the locked position to the unlocked position, and the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70 can be overcome, allowing the projector body 10 to be pulled down. During this process, the length of the locking lever 80 changes accordingly. When the projector body 10 is adjusted to the predetermined position, the user can release the lever. At this time, with the resistance or locking force of the locking lever 80 itself, the projector body 10 can be positioned in the predetermined position to meet the user's viewing needs.
[0062] like Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted projector 100 further includes a second locking assembly 40, which includes a third locking member 41 and a third driving member 42. The third locking member 41 is movably disposed on the projector body 10 and configured to be detachably embedded in the second locking groove 81 of the vehicle locking rod 80. The third driving member 42 is configured to have a driving force to drive the third locking member 41 to be embedded in the second locking groove 81 of the locking rod 80. In this way, the installation strength of the vehicle-mounted projector 100 can be further improved, making it easier for users to use the vehicle-mounted projector 100 while driving, and the height of the vehicle-mounted projector 100 can be adjusted to meet the user's usage needs.
[0063] Specifically, during installation, the locking rod 80 can first be inserted into the locking hole 12 of the projector body 10. During this process, the locking rod 80 can overcome the driving force of the third driving member 42 and press against the third locking member 41, thus inserting itself into the locking hole 12. Subsequently, when the locking rod 80 is inserted to the position corresponding to the second locking groove 81 of the locking rod 80 and the third locking member 41, the locking rod 80 no longer has the pressure against the third locking member 41. At this time, under the action of the third driving member 42, the third locking member 41 is driven to embed into the second locking groove 81 of the locking rod 80, thereby locking the locking rod 80 and realizing the installation of the projector body 10. The projector body 10 is installed by means of the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70. The weight of the projector body 10 is reduced, making it easier to install. Then, the user can lift the projector body 10. The locking rod 80 changes length as the projector body 10 is lifted. When the projector body 10 reaches the installation position, the second driving member drives the second locking member 32 to disengage from the locking hole of the first locking member 31, thereby releasing the locking of the first locking member 31. The first locking member 31 can be embedded in the first locking groove of the vehicle under the drive of the first driving member 33, thus realizing the installation of the vehicle projector 100.
[0064] In addition, in conjunction with the foregoing, in some specific examples, the projector body 10 can be easily detached from the locking lever 80 by communicating with the third drive unit 42 via a button. The specific principle is the same as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted projector 100 further includes a first connector 50, which is communicatively connected to a first magnetic body 20 and configured to connect to the vehicle's power system. The first magnetic body 20 has a first magnetic state and a second magnetic state, wherein the magnetic attraction force of the second magnetic state is greater than that of the first magnetic state. In the first magnetic state, the first connector 50 is disconnected from the vehicle's power system, and in the second magnetic state, the first connector 50 is connected to the vehicle's power system. This further improves the installation strength of the vehicle-mounted projector 100, facilitates the use of the projector while driving, and enhances the user experience.
[0066] Understandably, during installation, the projector body 10 is first connected to the locking rod 80 via the second locking component 40. At this time, the first magnetic body 20 is in the first magnetic state. With the help of the slight magnetic attraction between the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70, the projector body 10 is lifted to the installation position. Once the projector body 10 is lifted to the installation position, the first locking component 30 can lock the projector body 10 onto the vehicle. At this time, the first connector 50 is connected to the vehicle's power system to provide power to the projector body 10. The first connector 50 also controls the first magnetic body 20 to switch to the second magnetic state. At this time, the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic body 20 is greater than that in the first magnetic state, allowing the first magnetic body 20 to strongly attract the second magnetic body 70, thereby increasing the installation strength of the projector body 10 and meeting the usage requirements when the vehicle is in motion.
[0067] Conversely, during disassembly, the first connector 50 can be disconnected from the vehicle's power system. At this time, the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic body 20 weakens, making it easier for the user to overcome the magnetic attraction and remove the projector body 10, thus improving the ease of disassembly.
[0068] It should be explained that the power system includes a battery and a controller. The battery is connected to the controller, which can be used to control the switching of the magnetic state of the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70 to achieve better installation results.
[0069] like Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted projector 100 further includes a plurality of support legs 60, and the projector body 10 also has a storage groove 13, in which the plurality of support legs 60 are disposed and can be movably extended and retracted into the storage groove 13; thus, the vehicle-mounted projector 100 can be conveniently used outdoors, improving its applicability.
[0070] Understandably, when users are outdoors, the vehicle projector 100 can be removed from the vehicle, and then the multiple support legs 60 in the storage slot 13 can be extended out of the storage slot 13 and supported on the ground, so that it can be used as an outdoor projector, thus improving its applicability.
[0071] Furthermore, multiple support legs 60 are rotatably disposed within the storage slot 13, and the multiple support legs 60 can rotatably switch between the storage position and the extended position, allowing users to easily meet their outdoor use needs by rotating the multiple support legs 60.
[0072] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted projector 100 also includes a cover plate that can cover the opening of the storage slot 13 to prevent external environmental contamination of the multiple support legs 60 and to provide protection.
[0073] like Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle includes a vehicle body and an in-vehicle projector 100 as described in the above embodiment, wherein the in-vehicle projector 100 is detachably connected to the vehicle body; by applying the in-vehicle projector 100 of the aforementioned embodiment, the user's in-vehicle projection needs can be met, and the user's out-of-vehicle projection needs can also be met, thereby improving the user's experience.
[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle further includes a power system and a second magnetic body 70. The vehicle body is provided with the second magnetic body 70, which is communicatively connected to the power system. The second magnetic body 70 has a third magnetic state and a fourth magnetic state, wherein the magnetic attraction force of the fourth magnetic state is greater than that of the third magnetic state. In the third magnetic state, the power system is disconnected from the projector body 10, and in the fourth magnetic state, the power system is connected to the projector body 10. In this way, the installation strength of the vehicle-mounted projector 100 can be further improved, making it easier to use the projector while driving and improving the user experience.
[0075] Understandably, during installation, the projector body 10 is first connected to the locking rod 80 via the second locking component 40. At this time, the second magnetic body 70 is in the third magnetic state. With the help of the slight magnetic attraction between the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70, the projector body 10 is lifted to the installation position. Once the projector body 10 is lifted to the installation position, the first locking component 30 can lock the projector body 10 onto the vehicle. At this time, the power supply in the power system can be electrically connected to the projector body 10 to provide power to the projector body 10. The controller of the power system can detect the power supply signal and control the second magnetic body 70 to switch to the fourth magnetic state. At this time, the magnetic attraction of the second magnetic body 70 is greater than that in the third magnetic state, allowing the second magnetic body 70 to strongly attract the first magnetic body 20, improving the installation strength of the projector body 10 and meeting the usage requirements when the vehicle is in motion.
[0076] Conversely, during disassembly, the electrical connection between the projector body 10 and the power system can be disconnected. At this time, the magnetic attraction of the second magnetic body 70 weakens, making it easier for the user to overcome the magnetic attraction and disassemble the projector body 10, thus improving the ease of disassembly. It should be explained that in this embodiment, the connection between the projector body 10 and the power system can be achieved through the first connector 50 in the aforementioned embodiment.
[0077] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle further includes a locking rod 80, which is disposed on the vehicle body and configured to have an adjustable length. The locking rod 80 is detachably connected to the projector body 10. In this way, the projector body 10 can be pre-positioned, which facilitates the installation of the vehicle-mounted projector 100.
[0078] Understandably, during installation, the locking hole 12 of the projector body 10 can be aligned with the locking rod 80 of the vehicle, and the locking rod 80 of the vehicle can be inserted into the locking hole 12 of the projector body 10. Through the insertion and cooperation of the locking rod 80 and the locking hole 12, the projector body 10 can be pre-positioned, which facilitates the subsequent installation and assembly of the projector body 10.
[0079] Furthermore, the length of the locking lever 80 is adjustable. When the projection height needs to be adjusted, the first locking component 30 can be switched from the locked position to the unlocked position, and the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic body 20 and the second magnetic body 70 can be overcome, allowing the projector body 10 to be pulled down. During this process, the length of the locking lever 80 changes accordingly. When the projector body 10 is adjusted to the predetermined position, the user can release the lever. At this time, with the resistance or locking force of the locking lever 80 itself, the projector body 10 can be positioned in the predetermined position to meet the user's viewing needs.
