Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle-mounted projection equipment technology, specifically to a partition component, a cockpit and its control method, and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of vehicle technology, it has become possible to install screens in vehicle cabins. However, current screens in vehicles have the problem of poor visibility. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This application provides a partition assembly, a cockpit, a control method thereof, and a vehicle. The partition assembly is installed on a side pillar and can block the view together with a projection screen, thereby separating the front and rear seats of the cockpit and improving the quietness of the rear seats.
[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a partition assembly. The partition assembly is used to install onto a side pillar of the cockpit. The partition assembly includes a first partition member, a second partition member, a first slider, and a second slider. Both the first and second partition members are movably connected to the side pillar. The first partition member has a first groove, and the first slider is located within the first groove. The first slider is used to drive the first partition member to move relative to the side pillar. The second partition member has a second groove, and the first slider is located within the second groove. The first slider is used to drive the second partition member to move relative to the side pillar. The partition assembly has a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, both the first and second partition members are at least partially housed within the side pillar, and the first and second partition members have a first overlapping area. In the extended state, both the first and second partition members extend at least partially from the side pillar, with the second partition member closer to the other side pillar than the first partition member. The first and second partition members have a second overlapping area, which is smaller than the first overlapping area.
[0005] In this application, by designing a partition component, it can provide the function of isolating and blocking the view together with the projection screen after the projection screen is unfolded, thereby separating the front and rear rows of the cabin and improving the quietness of the rear row of the cabin.
[0006] In this application, the partition component is designed to be movably installed in the side pillar so that when the projection screen is not in use, the partition component can be at least partially housed in the side pillar, thereby reducing the space occupied by the side pillar and preventing the partition component from protruding too much from the side pillar and appearing obtrusive. This reduces the visual interference in the cabin after the projection screen is rolled up, and helps to improve the visibility of the rear seats in the cabin.
[0007] In this application, by designing the first and second partition members, the partition members are made into secondary movable parts. In the retracted state, this allows the partition assembly to be more fully housed within the side pillars, thereby reducing the partition assembly protruding from the side pillars. This is both aesthetically pleasing and avoids obstructing the movement of the front seats in the cabin. In the deployed state, the partition assembly can unfold to form a wider shape with a smaller width dimension, allowing the second partition member to slide in conjunction with the projection screen.
[0008] In this application, in the retracted state, the first and second partitions have a larger overlap area, which allows them to be accommodated more within the side pillars, reducing or even eliminating the protrusion of the partition components relative to the side pillars. This reduces the abruptness of the side pillars, improves the rear passenger visibility, and avoids obstructing the rearward movement of the front seats. In the deployed state, the first and second partitions have a smaller overlap area, resulting in a larger overall size of both partitions in the direction of the two side pillars compared to the retracted state. This facilitates a sliding connection between the second partition and the projection screen. Therefore, by designing the overlap area of the first and second partitions, the limited space of the side pillars can be fully utilized to achieve greater accommodation and avoid obstructing the rearward movement of the front seats. Furthermore, the deployed partitions can form a larger overall size to achieve a sliding connection with the projection screen.
[0009] In some possible implementations, the second partition is used to slide and connect with the projection screen of the vehicle or cabin in the unfolded state.
[0010] In this implementation, the partition components provide a sliding track for the projection screen, ensuring that the screen is supported by the partition components on both sides during roll-up and roll-out, thus improving the stability of the projection screen during these processes. Furthermore, when the projection screen is fully extended, the partition components on both sides also provide structural support, enhancing the stability of the projection screen during projection and improving its resistance to bumps and vibrations during cabin movement, thereby improving the user experience.
[0011] In some possible implementations, the cabin also includes front seats, which are spaced apart from the side pillars along the arrangement direction of the two side pillars of the cabin. The front seats have a first direction of movement that intersects with the arrangement direction of the two side pillars. In the retracted state, a portion of the partition assembly extends out of the side pillars, and along the first direction of movement, the portion of the partition assembly extending out of the side pillars is offset from the front seats.
[0012] In this implementation, by designing the size of the partition component extending out of the side pillar in the unfolded state, the partition component can be retracted into the side pillar when the projection screen is not needed, so as to provide space for the front seats to move towards the rear seats. This avoids the partition component obstructing the movement of the front seats. With this design, the front seats can move to the rear, recline, and lie flat without any movement obstruction, thus improving the user experience of the cabin.
[0013] In some possible implementations, in the retracted state, both the first and second partitions are integrally located within the side pillars.
[0014] In this implementation, because the partition component can be completely housed within the side pillar in the retracted state, the side pillar no longer has an obtrusive design, optimizing its appearance. Simultaneously, the rear passenger view becomes more unobstructed, improving the rear passenger experience. Furthermore, since the side pillar does not protrude, the movement of the front seats towards the rear is no longer hindered, enhancing the front passenger experience.
[0015] In some possible implementations, in the unfolded state, part of the first partition is located inside the side post. On the one hand, this allows the side post to provide some support for the first partition, and on the other hand, it reduces the gap between the side post and the first partition, which helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the side post and partition assembly in the unfolded state.
[0016] In some possible implementations, in the unfolded state, there is no gap between the first partition and the side pillars along the arrangement direction of the two side pillars. In other words, along the arrangement direction of the two side pillars, the side of the first partition away from the second partition is located inside the side pillar. This design ensures that there is no gap between the first partition and the side pillars everywhere, which helps to reduce the abruptness of the side pillars and the first partition in the unfolded state and optimizes the overall appearance.
[0017] In some possible implementations, there is no gap between the first partition and the second partition along the arrangement direction of the two side pillars. In other words, along the arrangement direction of the two side pillars, the side of the second partition closest to the side pillar overlaps with the first partition. This design ensures that there is no gap between the first partition and the second partition, which helps to reduce the abruptness of the first partition and the second partition and optimizes the overall appearance.
[0018] In some possible implementations, at least a portion of the second partition is located on the back side of the first partition. In the retracted state, the second partition does not extend beyond the first partition in the direction of the second partition pointing to the other side post. That is, the first partition can block the inner side of the second partition to eliminate visual abruptness and improve the overall aesthetics of the first and second partitions.
[0019] In some possible implementations, the cockpit also includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member, with the first limiting member mounted on the second partition and the second limiting member mounted on the roof. In the deployed state, the first limiting member abuts against the second limiting member.
[0020] In this implementation, the design of the first and second limiting members can limit the movement of the partition component during its unfolding process, thereby preventing excessive movement of the partition component and enabling it to stop unfolding more accurately at a preset position, so that the projection screen and the second partition component can form a sliding connection.
[0021] In some possible implementations, both the first and second partitions are rotatably connected to the side post, which simplifies the movement and facilitates the quick retraction of the first and second partitions into the side post and their rapid extension out of the side post.
[0022] In some possible implementations, the first and second partitions are rotatably connected to the side post via the same rotating member. This design is advantageous for simultaneously controlling the rotation of the first and second partitions relative to the side post.
[0023] In some possible implementations, the partition assembly also includes a partition drive, which is mounted inside the side pillar and is used to drive the first partition and the second partition to rotate relative to the side pillar.
[0024] In this implementation, the design of the partition drive component enables electric drive of both the first and second partition components, achieving intelligent control of both. The control of the partition drive component can be linked with the control of the projection screen for automated control. Specifically, when the preset goal is to unfold the projection screen, the partition drive component is first controlled to rotate the first and second partition components relative to the side pillars, causing them to extend out of the side pillars and enter the unfolded state. At this time, the projection screen can slide along the second partition component to unfold. When the preset goal is to retract the projection screen, the projection screen is first controlled to slide along the second partition component to retract, and then the partition drive component is controlled to rotate the first and second partition components relative to the side pillars, causing them to retract into the side pillars and enter the retracted state. This ensures unobstructed rear passenger visibility and provides space for the front seats to move backward, avoiding obstruction of their movement.
[0025] In some possible implementations, the partition assembly also includes a transmission component, with a first end of the transmission component movably connected to the partition drive component, a second end of the transmission component fixedly connected to the first slider, and a third end of the transmission component fixedly connected to the first slider.
[0026] In this implementation, by setting a transmission component, the partition drive component can be simultaneously connected to the first partition and the second partition, so as to drive the first partition and the second partition at the same time. The cooperation between the slider and the slide groove facilitates a stable connection between the transmission component and the first partition, as well as between the transmission component and the second partition, thereby improving the stability of the partition drive component in driving the first partition and the second partition to rotate relative to the side column.
[0027] In some possible implementations, the first end of the transmission component is rotatably connected to the partition drive component. The transmission method is simple, which helps to simplify the transmission connection between the partition drive component and the first rod, and is conducive to the miniaturization design of the partition assembly as a whole.
[0028] In some possible implementations, the first end of the transmission member is connected to the second end of the transmission member to form a first connecting line, and at least a portion of the first sliding groove in its extending direction is not perpendicular to the first connecting line. The first end of the transmission member is connected to the third end of the transmission member to form a second connecting line, and at least a portion of the second sliding groove in its extending direction is not perpendicular to the second connecting line.
[0029] In this implementation, since the first end of the transmission component is rotatably connected to the partition drive component, by designing that the first connecting line is not perpendicular to at least part of the first slide groove and the second connecting line is not perpendicular to at least part of the second slide groove, the first partition and the second partition can rotate under the drive of the first slider and the second slider respectively when the transmission component rotates, thereby realizing the retraction and deployment of the partition assembly.
[0030] In some possible implementations, in the retracted state and / or the extended state, the first groove receiving the first slider is perpendicular to the first connecting line. This design minimizes the frictional resistance of the first slider rotating around the first end of the transmission member, which is beneficial for reducing the resistance experienced by the partition drive member and increasing the starting speed of the partition drive member when transitioning from the extended state to the retracted state and / or from the retracted state to the extended state.
[0031] In some possible implementations, in the retracted state and / or the extended state, the second slide groove receiving the first slider is perpendicular to the second connecting line. This design minimizes the frictional resistance of the second slider rotating around the first end of the transmission member, which is beneficial for reducing the resistance experienced by the partition drive member and increasing the starting speed of the partition drive member when transitioning from the extended state to the retracted state and / or from the retracted state to the extended state.
[0032] In some possible implementations, the partition drive includes a partition drive motor, a lead screw, and a drive unit. The lead screw is connected to the partition drive motor, the drive unit is sleeved on the lead screw, the drive unit is threadedly connected to the lead screw, and the first end of the transmission component is fixedly connected to the drive unit.
[0033] In this implementation, the design of the partition drive motor, lead screw, and drive unit can convert the rotational output of the partition drive motor into a linear output, so that the drive unit can drive the transmission component to move along the extension direction of the lead screw, thereby driving the first partition and the second partition to rotate relative to the side column, thus realizing the switching of the partition assembly between the deployed state and the retracted state.
[0034] In some possible implementations, at least a portion of the first slideway in its extending direction intersects the extending direction of the lead screw. At least a portion of the second slideway in its extending direction intersects the extending direction of the lead screw.
[0035] In this implementation, since the first end of the transmission member is fixedly connected to the drive unit, the transmission member can move along the extension direction of the lead screw with the drive unit. By designing that at least a portion of the first slide groove in its extension direction intersects the extension direction of the lead screw, and at least a portion of the second slide groove in its extension direction intersects the extension direction of the lead screw, the first partition and the second partition can rotate under the drive of the first slider and the second slider, respectively, so as to realize the retraction and deployment of the partition assembly.
[0036] In some possible implementations, in the retracted state and / or the extended state, the first slide groove receiving the first slider is parallel to the extension direction of the lead screw. This design minimizes the frictional resistance of the first slider as it moves along the extension direction of the lead screw with the transmission component in the retracted or extended state. This is beneficial for reducing the resistance experienced by the partition drive component and increasing the starting speed of the partition drive component when transitioning from the extended state to the retracted state or vice versa.
[0037] In some possible implementations, in the retracted and / or deployed state, the second slide groove receiving the first slider is parallel to the extension direction of the lead screw. This design minimizes the frictional resistance as the second slider moves along the extension direction of the lead screw with the transmission component in the retracted or deployed state. This reduces the resistance experienced by the partition drive component and increases its starting speed when transitioning from the deployed state to the retracted state or vice versa.
[0038] In some possible implementations, the first slider is a pulley, which helps to reduce the frictional resistance between the first slider and the inner wall of the first groove, and improves the smoothness of driving the first partition.
[0039] In some possible implementations, the second slider is a pulley, which helps to reduce the frictional resistance between the second slider and the inner wall of the second groove, and improves the smoothness of driving the second partition.
[0040] Secondly, this application provides a cockpit. The cockpit includes a ceiling, two side pillars, a screen assembly, and a partition assembly as described in the first aspect. The two side pillars are connected to both sides of the ceiling and are positioned opposite each other. The partition assembly is movably mounted on the side pillars, and there are two partition assemblies, each corresponding to one of the two side pillars. The screen assembly is located between the two side pillars and includes a roller and a projection screen. The roller is mounted on the ceiling, and the projection screen is wound around the roller. The roller is used to roll up or unroll the projection screen.
[0041] In this application, the partition component is designed to be movably installed in the side pillar so that when the projection screen is not in use, the partition component can be at least partially housed in the side pillar, thereby reducing the space occupied by the side pillar and preventing the partition component from protruding too much from the side pillar and appearing obtrusive. This reduces the visual interference in the cabin after the projection screen is rolled up, and helps to improve the visibility of the rear seats in the cabin.
[0042] In some possible implementations, the screen assembly further includes a first fixed pulley, a second fixed pulley, a drive rope, and a screen drive component. The first fixed pulley is mounted on the partition assembly and is located on the side of the projection screen away from the ceiling. The second fixed pulley is mounted on a different partition assembly and is also located on the side of the projection screen away from the ceiling. The drive rope, along its direction from a first end to a second end, is sequentially fixedly connected to the first end of the screen drive component, wound around the first fixed pulley, fixedly connected to a first connection point on the side of the projection screen away from the roller, passes between the screen drive component and the roller, wound around the second fixed pulley, fixedly connected to a second connection point on the side of the projection screen away from the roller, and fixedly connected to the second end of the screen drive component. The first and second connection points are spaced apart. The screen drive component is mounted on the ceiling and located between the roller and the ceiling. The screen drive component is used to pull one end of the drive rope.
[0043] In this implementation, the first and second fixed pulleys are respectively installed on different partition components, so that the first and second fixed pulleys can retract and unfold together with the partition components. By designing the first and second fixed pulleys to be located on the side of the projection screen away from the ceiling, the first fixed pulley can change the direction of the force, and the second fixed pulley can also change the direction of the force. This ensures that when the screen drive component pulls the drive rope, the force direction at the first and second connection points is consistent, thereby ensuring that the force at both ends of the projection screen is consistent, which improves the stability of the projection screen's unfolding and retraction.
[0044] In some possible implementations, the curtain assembly further includes a third fixed pulley and a fourth fixed pulley, which are fixed to the ceiling and located on opposite sides along the length of the roll. The third fixed pulley is located between the first end of the curtain drive member and the first fixed pulley, and the portion of the drive rope between the first end of the curtain drive member and the first fixed pulley is wound around the third fixed pulley along the direction from the first end to the second end of the drive rope. The fourth fixed pulley is located between the second end of the curtain drive member and the second fixed pulley, and the portion of the drive rope between the second end of the curtain drive member and the second fixed pulley is wound around the fourth fixed pulley along the direction from the first end to the second end of the drive rope.
[0045] In this implementation, by designing a third and fourth fixed pulley, support can be provided for the portions of the drive rope near its first and second ends, respectively. This reduces the degree of bending in the drive rope, minimizes stress concentration, and facilitates better force transmission within the drive rope. Furthermore, it prevents the drive rope from rubbing against the projection screen.
[0046] In some possible implementations, the curtain assembly also includes a fifth and a sixth fixed pulley, which are fixed to the ceiling and located on opposite sides of the roll along its length. Along the direction from the first end to the second end of the drive rope, the portion of the drive rope located between the first connection and the second fixed pulley is sequentially wound around the fifth and sixth fixed pulleys.
[0047] In this implementation, by designing the fifth and sixth fixed pulleys, guiding support is provided for the portion of the drive rope passing between the roller and the screen drive component, reducing the degree of bending of the drive rope and stress concentration, which facilitates better force transmission within the drive rope. Furthermore, it also prevents the drive rope from rubbing against the projection screen and roller.
[0048] In some possible implementations, the curtain drive unit includes a curtain drive motor and a drive shaft. The curtain drive motor is connected to the drive shaft for transmission, and the curtain drive motor is used to drive the drive shaft to move along the length of the roll. The first end of the drive rope is fixedly connected to the first end of the drive shaft, and the second end of the drive rope is fixedly connected to the second end of the drive shaft.
[0049] In this implementation, the design of the drive shaft enables the conversion of the rotational output of the curtain drive motor into a linear output, thereby driving the drive rope to move.
[0050] In some possible implementations, the drive shaft is a flexible metal shaft, which allows the drive shaft to deform to fit the shape of the ceiling. This reduces the degree of bending of the drive ropes at both ends of the drive shaft, reduces stress concentration in the drive ropes, and facilitates better force transmission in the drive ropes.
[0051] In some possible implementations, a first elastic element is provided inside the scroll, the first elastic element is elastically connected to the scroll, and the first elastic element is in a stretched state.
[0052] In this implementation, by designing a first elastic element, tension can be provided to the first elastic element to stretch the projection screen, thereby keeping the projection screen in a taut state, which is beneficial to the flatness of the projection screen surface.
[0053] In some possible implementations, the first elastic element has a first tension force when the projection screen is unfolded, and a second tension force when the projection screen is rolled up, with the first tension force being greater than the second tension force.
[0054] In this implementation, the first elastic element can have a greater tension when the projection screen is unfolded, which helps to ensure that the projection screen remains taut during the unfolding process, so as to make the surface of the projection screen flat.
[0055] Thirdly, this application provides a cockpit control method. The cockpit includes a ceiling, two side pillars, a screen assembly, and a partition assembly as described in the first aspect. The two side pillars are connected to both sides of the ceiling and are positioned opposite each other. The partition assembly is movably installed on the side pillars. There are two partition assemblies, each corresponding to one of the two side pillars. The screen assembly is located between the two side pillars and includes a roller and a projection screen. The roller is installed on the ceiling, and the projection screen is wound around the roller. When the partition assembly is in a retracted state and the projection screen is rolled up, the method includes: unfolding the partition assembly to the unfolded state; unfolding the projection screen. When the partition assembly is in the unfolded state and the projection screen is unfolded, the method includes: rolling up the projection screen; retracting the partition assembly to the retracted state.
[0056] In this application, by first unfolding the partition assembly and then the projection screen, the partition assembly provides a sliding guide for the projection screen, thereby improving the stability of the projection screen's unfolding. During the rewinding process of the projection screen, the partition assembly provides a sliding guide for the projection screen, thereby improving the stability of the projection screen's rewinding.
[0057] Fourthly, this application provides a control device. The control device includes at least one processor coupled to at least one memory for executing computer instructions stored in the memory to cause the control device to perform the method as described in the third aspect.
[0058] Fifthly, this application provides a chip or chip system. The chip or chip system includes at least one processing circuit for running a computer program, causing the chip or chip system to perform the method as described in the third aspect.
[0059] Sixthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium. The computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program or instructions that, when executed on a computer, cause the computer to perform the method as described in the third aspect.
[0060] In a seventh aspect, this application provides a computer program product. When the computer program product is run on a computer, it causes the computer to perform the method as described in the third aspect.
[0061] Eighthly, this application provides a means of transportation. The means of transportation includes a partition assembly as described in any of the first aspects; or, includes a cabin as described in any of the second aspects.
[0062] In this application, the design of the partition component can improve the user experience of the vehicle, especially the user experience of the rear passengers. Attached Figure Description

The projection screen 31 can also be used for projection for entertainment.
[0078] The design of the partition component 4 will be introduced next.
[0079] Please refer to the following: Figure 2A and Figure 2B , Figure 2A yes Figure 1A A partial structural schematic diagram of the cabin 10 in some embodiments of the vehicle 100 shown; Figure 2B yes Figure 2A A schematic diagram of the projection screen 31 unfolded in the cockpit 10.
[0080] In some embodiments, the cockpit 10 may also include two partition components 4, which may be installed on the side pillars 2, with each partition component 4 corresponding to one of the two side pillars 2.
[0081] In this embodiment, by designing the partition component 4, it can work together with the projection screen 31 to provide isolation and block the line of sight after the projection screen 31 is unfolded, thereby separating the front and rear rows of the cabin 10 and improving the quietness of the rear row of the cabin 10.
[0082] For example, the projection screen 31 can be slidably connected to the partition component 4.
[0083] In this embodiment, the partition components 4 provide a sliding track for the projection screen 31, ensuring that the projection screen 31 is supported by the partition components 4 on both sides during its roll-up and roll-out, thereby improving the stability of the projection screen 31 during roll-up and roll-out. Furthermore, after the projection screen 31 is fully unfolded, the partition components 4 on both sides also provide structural support, improving the stability of the projection screen 31 during projection and enhancing its resistance to bumps and vibrations during cockpit 10 movement, thus improving the user experience of the projection screen 31.
[0084] When the vehicle 100 is a car, the side pillar 2 is the B-pillar. It should be noted that the B-pillar specifically refers to the support pillar between the front door and the rear of the vehicle, as well as the overall structure of the exterior trim that surrounds the support pillar.
[0085] Among them, the partition component 4 can be slidably connected to the projection screen 31 through a slider rail or magnetic attraction.
[0086] In some other embodiments, the projection screen 31 may not be connected to the partition component 4. After the projection screen 31 is unfolded, the side of the projection screen 31 and the partition component 4 may overlap to improve the effect of separating the front and rear rows of the cabin 10 after the projection screen 31 is unfolded, thereby improving the quietness of the rear row of the cabin 10.
[0087] Please refer to the following: Figure 3A and Figure 3B , Figure 3A yes Figure 1A A partial structural schematic diagram of the cabin 10 in some other embodiments of the vehicle 100 shown; Figure 3B yes Figure 3A The diagram shows the partition assembly 4 in the cockpit 10 retracting to the side pillar 2 in some embodiments.
[0088] In some embodiments, the partition assembly 4 can be movably mounted on the side column 2. The partition assembly 4 has a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the partition assembly 4 can be at least partially housed within the side column 2. In the extended state, the partition assembly 4 can at least partially extend out of the side column 2. The projection screen 31 can be slidably connected to the partition assembly 4.
[0089] In this embodiment, the partition component 4 is designed to be movably installed on the side pillar 2 so that when the projection screen 31 is not used, the partition component 4 can be at least partially housed in the side pillar 2, thereby reducing the space occupied by the side pillar 2 and preventing the partition component 4 from protruding too much from the side pillar 2 and appearing obtrusive. This reduces the visual interference of the cabin 10 after the projection screen 31 is rolled up, which is beneficial to improving the rear visibility of the cabin 10.
[0090] In some examples, the cockpit 10 may also include a front seat 5 located behind the curtain assembly 3. The front seat 5 is spaced apart from the side pillars 2 along the arrangement direction of the two side pillars 2. The front seat 5 has a first direction of movement D1, which intersects with the arrangement direction of the two side pillars 2. In the retracted state, a portion of the partition assembly 4 extends out of the side pillars 2 along the first direction of movement D1, and the portion of the partition assembly 4 extending out of the side pillars 2 is offset from the front seat 5.
[0091] In this embodiment, by designing the size of the partition component 4 extending out of the side pillar 2 in the unfolded state, the partition component 4 can be retracted into the side pillar 2 when the projection screen 31 is not needed, so as to provide space for the front seat 5 to move towards the rear. This avoids the partition component 4 obstructing the movement of the front seat 5. With this design, the front seat 5 can move to the rear, recline, and lie flat without any movement obstruction, thus improving the user experience of the cabin 10.
[0092] It should be noted that, Figure 3BThe diagram illustrates the first direction of movement, D1, perpendicular to the plane of the paper, which is the direction from the front row of the cabin 10 to the rear row. Understandably, when the backrest of the front seat 5 rotates towards the rear row of the cabin 10, the first direction of movement, D1, refers to the direction of rotation using the pivot of the front seat 5's backrest as the axis of rotation. At this time, along the first direction of movement, D1, the portion of the partition assembly 4 extending from the side pillar 2 is offset from the front seat 5. This means that along the movement path of the front seat 5's backrest, the partition assembly 4 is offset from the front seat 5. In other words, at each rotation point of the front seat 5's backrest, along the tangent of that rotation point, the portion of the partition assembly 4 extending from the side pillar 2 is offset from the front seat 5.
[0093] In other examples, in the retracted state, the partition assembly 4 can be entirely located within the side pillar 2.
[0094] In this embodiment, since the partition assembly 4 can be completely located within the side pillar 2 in the retracted state, the exterior of the side pillar 2 no longer has an obtrusive design, optimizing its appearance. Simultaneously, the rear passenger view of the cabin 10 becomes more unobstructed, improving the rear passenger experience. Furthermore, because the side pillar 2 does not protrude, the movement of the front seats 5 towards the rear is no longer hindered, enhancing the front passenger experience.
[0095] For example, the partition assembly 4 can be moved relative to the side pillar 2 by electric control, or the partition assembly 4 can be moved relative to the side pillar 2 by manual means.
[0096] The partition component 4 can rotate, translate, or combine rotation and translation relative to the side column 2 to achieve the conversion between the retracted state and the deployed state.
[0097] For example, the partition assembly 4 is movably installed on the side pillar 2. The partition assembly 4 can be directly movably connected to the side pillar 2, or the partition assembly 4 can be movably connected to the roof 1 to form an indirect movable connection with the side pillar 2.
[0098] Please refer to the following: Figure 4A and Figure 4B , Figure 4A yes Figure 1A A partial structural schematic diagram of the cabin 10 in some embodiments of the vehicle 100 shown; Figure 4B yes Figure 4A The diagram shows the partition assembly 4 in the cockpit 10 in some embodiments in an deployed state.
[0099] In some embodiments, the partition assembly 4 may include a first partition 41 and a second partition 42, both of which are movably connected to the side column 2. The first partition 41 and the second partition 42 are at least partially overlapped. In the retracted state, both the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 are at least partially housed within the side column 2. In the extended state, both the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 extend at least partially from the side column 2, with the second partition 42 closer to the other side column 2 than the first partition 41, and the projection screen 31 is slidably connected to the second partition 42.
[0100] In this embodiment, by designing the first partition 41 and the second partition 42, the partition assembly 4 is a secondary movable component. In the retracted state, this allows the partition assembly 4 to be more fully accommodated within the side pillar 2, thereby reducing the protrusion of the partition assembly 4 from the side pillar 2. This is both aesthetically pleasing and avoids obstructing the movement of the front seats 5 in the cabin 10. In the unfolded state, the partition assembly 4 unfolds with a smaller width to form a wider shape, allowing the second partition 42 to slide against the projection screen 31.
[0101] It should be noted that in the vehicle 100, especially in a vehicle, the overall size of the side pillar 2 is limited, resulting in limited space for the side pillar 2 to accommodate the partition assembly 4. Since the partition assembly 4 needs to ensure sliding cooperation with the projection screen 31 when extended and avoid obstructing the rearward movement of the front seat 5 when retracted, if the partition assembly 4 only includes one partition member, it is difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of the partition assembly 4 in both extended and retracted states. However, in this embodiment, by designing the partition assembly 4 to include a first partition member 41 and a second partition member 42, with at least partial overlap between the first partition member 41 and the second partition member 42, the requirements of the partition assembly 4 in both extended and retracted states can be simultaneously met by adjusting the overlap area of the first partition member 41 and the second partition member 42 in both extended and retracted states.
[0102] For example, in the retracted state, the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 have a first overlapping area, and in the unfolded state, the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 have a second overlapping area, the second overlapping area being smaller than the first overlapping area.
[0103] In this embodiment, in the retracted state, the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 have a larger overlap area, which facilitates the inclusion of more of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 within the side pillar 2, thereby reducing or even eliminating the protrusion of the partition assembly 4 relative to the side pillar 2. This reduces the abruptness of the side pillar 2, improves the visibility of the rear seats in the cabin 10, and also avoids obstructing the rearward movement of the front seats 5. In the unfolded state, the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 have a smaller overlap area, so that the overall size of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 is larger than in the retracted state in the arrangement direction of the two side pillars 2. This facilitates the sliding engagement between the second partition 42 and the projection screen 31. Therefore, by designing the overlap area of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42, the limited space of the side pillar 2 can be fully utilized to achieve more inclusion and avoid obstructing the rearward movement of the front seats 5. It can also be unfolded to form a larger overall size to achieve a sliding engagement with the projection screen 31.
[0104] It should be noted that the second overlapping area can be 0, in which case the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 can form a larger overall size.
[0105] For example, the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 can both be rotatably connected to the side post 2. The movement is simple and facilitates the quick housing of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 into the side post 2 and their quick extension out of the side post 2.
[0106] The first partition 41 and the second partition 42 can be rotatably connected to the side post 2 through the same rotating member. This design is beneficial for simultaneously controlling the rotation of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 relative to the side post 2.
[0107] In some other embodiments, the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 can also be rotatably connected to the side pillar 2 through different rotating parts, as long as the partition assembly 4 can not obstruct the front seat 5 from moving backward in the retracted state, and the partition assembly 4 can be slidably connected to the projection screen 31 in the unfolded state.
[0108] Please continue reading. Figure 4B For example, in the unfolded state, part of the first partition 41 can be located inside the side post 2. On the one hand, this allows the side post 2 to provide some support for the first partition 41, and on the other hand, it can reduce the gap between the side post 2 and the first partition 41, which is beneficial to improving the overall aesthetics of the side post 2 and the partition assembly 4 in the unfolded state.
[0109] In the unfolded state, there is no gap between the first partition 41 and the side pillar 2 along the arrangement direction of the two side pillars 2. In other words, along the arrangement direction of the two side pillars 2, the side of the first partition 41 away from the second partition 42 is located inside the side pillar 2. This design makes there no gap between the first partition 41 and the side pillar 2 everywhere, which helps to reduce the abruptness of the side pillar 2 and the first partition 41 in the unfolded state and optimizes the overall appearance.
[0110] Please continue reading. Figure 4A and Figure 4B For example, along the arrangement direction of the two side pillars 2, there can be no gap between the first partition 41 and the second partition 42. In other words, along the arrangement direction of the two side pillars 2, the side of the second partition 42 near the side pillar 2 overlaps with the first partition 41. This design makes there no gap between the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 everywhere, which helps to reduce the overall abruptness of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 and optimize the overall appearance.
[0111] Please refer to the following: Figures 4A to 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 4A A schematic diagram of the partition assembly 4 in the cockpit 10 in some other embodiments.
[0112] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second partition 42 is located on the back side of the first partition 41, such that along the arrangement direction of the two side posts 2, the side of the second partition 42 closest to the side post 2 can be located on the back side of the first partition 41, that is, the first partition 41 can form a shielding of the inner side of the second partition 42 to eliminate visual abruptness and improve the overall aesthetics of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42.
[0113] Please see Figure 5 For example, in the retracted state, along the direction of the second partition 42 pointing to the other side post 2, the second partition 42 may not exceed the first partition 41, so that the first partition 41 can form a shielding on the outer side of the second partition 42, thereby eliminating the visual abruptness and improving the overall aesthetics of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42.
[0114] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 4B A schematic diagram of the partition assembly 4 in the cockpit 10 in some other embodiments.
[0115] In some embodiments, the cockpit 10 may further include a first limiting member 43 and a second limiting member 44, the first limiting member 43 being mounted on the second partition 42 and the second limiting member 44 being mounted on the roof 1. In the deployed state, the first limiting member 43 abuts against the second limiting member 44.
[0116] In this embodiment, the design of the first limiting member 43 and the second limiting member 44 can limit the movement of the partition component 4 during its unfolding process, so as to avoid excessive movement of the partition component 4. This allows the partition component 4 to stop unfolding more accurately at a preset position, so that the projection screen 31 and the second partition component 42 can form a sliding connection.
[0117] In some examples, the first limiting member 43 can be an independent structure, and the first limiting member 43 is fixedly connected to the second partition member 42, and / or the second limiting member 44 can be an independent structure, and the second limiting member 44 is fixedly connected to the canopy 1.
[0118] In other examples, the first limiting member 43 may be the structure of the second partition 42 itself, and / or the second limiting member 44 may be the structure of the canopy 1 itself, so that the interior of the cabin 10 can utilize its own structural design to achieve motion limitation.
[0119] It should be noted that the specific shape and size of the first limiting member 43 and the second limiting member 44 are not limited, as long as they can limit the unfolding of the partition component 4 so that the projection screen 31 can form a sliding connection with the second partition component 42.
[0120] Next, we will introduce the drive design of the partition component 4.
[0121] Please refer to the following: Figures 7 to 8B , Figure 7 yes Figure 4A A partial structural schematic diagram of the partition assembly 4 in some embodiments of the cockpit 10 shown; Figure 8A yes Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the partition assembly 4 in the cockpit 10 in some embodiments, showing the structure in the deployed state. Figure 8B yes Figure 7 The diagram shows the partition assembly 4 in the cockpit 10 in a retracted state in some embodiments.
[0122] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the partition assembly 4 may further include a partition drive 45, which is installed inside the side post 2 and is used to drive the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 to rotate relative to the side post 2.
[0123] In this embodiment, the design of the partition drive component 45 enables electric drive of the first partition component 41 and the second partition component 42, thereby achieving intelligent control of the first partition component 41 and the second partition component 42. The control of the partition drive component 45 can be linked with the control of the projection screen 31 to achieve automated control. Specifically, when the preset goal is to unfold the projection screen 31, the partition drive component 45 can be controlled to drive the first partition component 41 and the second partition component 42 to rotate relative to the side column 2, causing the first partition component 41 and the second partition component 42 to extend out of the side column 2 and enter the unfolded state. At this time, the projection screen 31 can slide along the second partition component 42 to unfold. When the projection screen 31 is rolled up at the preset target position, the projection screen 31 can be controlled to slide along the second partition 42 to roll up. Then, the partition drive 45 is controlled to drive the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 to rotate relative to the side pillar 2, so that the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 are retracted into the side pillar 2 and enter the retracted state. At this time, the rear view of the cabin 10 can be clear, and the rear seat 5 of the cabin 10 can be provided with rearward movement space to avoid obstructing the rearward movement of the front seat 5.
[0124] Please refer to the following: Figure 8A and Figure 8B For example, the partition assembly 4 may further include a transmission member 46. The transmission member 46 may include a first end 461, a second end 462, and a third end 463 spaced apart. The first end 461 of the transmission member 46 may be movably connected to the partition drive member 45, the second end 462 of the transmission member 46 may be slidably connected to the first partition member 41, and the third end 463 of the transmission member 46 may be slidably connected to the second partition member 42.
[0125] In this embodiment, by providing the transmission component 46, the partition drive component 45 can be simultaneously connected to the first partition component 41 and the second partition component 42, so as to drive the first partition component 41 and the second partition component 42 at the same time.
[0126] The partition assembly 4 may further include a first slider 47 and a second slider 48. The first slider 47 is fixedly connected to the second end 462 of the transmission member 46, and the second slider 48 is fixedly connected to the third end 463 of the transmission member 46. The first partition member 41 has a first groove 411, and the first slider 47 is located within the first groove 411. The second partition member 42 has a second groove 421, and the second slider 48 is located within the second groove 421.
[0127] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the slider and the groove facilitates a stable connection between the transmission member 46 and the first partition member 41, and between the transmission member 46 and the second partition member 42, thereby improving the stability of the partition drive member 45 in driving the first partition member 41 and the second partition member 42 to rotate relative to the side column 2.
[0128] In the deployed state, the first slider 47 is located at the first position of the first slide groove 411, and the second slider 48 is located at the second position of the second slide groove 421. In the retracted state, the first slider 47 is located at the third position of the first slide groove 411, and the second slider 48 is located at the fourth position of the second slide groove 421.
[0129] In this embodiment, the first position and the third position are two endpoint positions on the movement path of the first slider 47, and the second position and the fourth position are two endpoint positions on the movement path of the second slider 48. The first position corresponds to the second position, and the third position corresponds to the fourth position. In other words, when the first slider 47 is at the first position, the second slider 48 is always at the second position; when the first slider 47 is at the third position, the second slider 48 is always at the fourth position.
[0130] The first slider 47 can be a pulley, which helps to reduce the frictional resistance between the first slider 47 and the inner wall of the first groove 411 and improve the smoothness of driving the first partition 41.
[0131] The second slider 48 can be a pulley, which helps to reduce the frictional resistance between the second slider 48 and the inner wall of the second slide groove 421 and improve the smoothness of driving the second partition 42.
[0132] The first slider 47 and the transmission member 46 can be an integral structure, that is, the first slider 47 is part of the second end 462 of the transmission member 46, or the first slider 47 can be an independent structure, that is, the first slider 47 can be detached from the second end 462 of the transmission member 46.
[0133] The second slider 48 and the transmission member 46 can be an integral structure, that is, the second slider 48 is part of the third end 463 of the transmission member 46, or the second slider 48 can be an independent structure, that is, the second slider 48 can be detached from the third end 463 of the transmission member 46.
[0134] In some examples, the transmission component 46 can be a linkage structure, which is simple in structure, occupies little space, and is conducive to improving space utilization.
[0135] In other examples, the transmission component 46 may be plate-shaped or block-shaped to make the overall structural strength of the transmission component 46 high.
[0136] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings of this application illustrate the transmission component 46 as a connecting rod structure, and do not limit the specific structural form of the transmission component 46. It can be understood that as long as the first end 461 of the transmission component 46 is movably connected to the partition drive component 45, the second end 462 of the transmission component 46 is fixedly connected to the first slider 47, and the third end 463 of the transmission component 46 is fixedly connected to the second slider 48, it is acceptable. Furthermore, the first end 461, the second end, and the third end of the transmission component 46 are not limited to being the ends of the transmission component 46; they can also be located in other areas of the transmission component 46.
[0137] For example, the first end 461 of the transmission member 46 can be rotatably connected to the partition drive member 45. The transmission method is simple, which helps to simplify the transmission connection between the partition drive member 45 and the first rod, and is conducive to the miniaturization design of the partition assembly 4 as a whole.
[0138] The partition drive component 45 may include a partition drive motor 451 and a first reduction gearbox 452. The partition drive motor 451 enables rotational output, and the first reduction gearbox 452 enables stable rotational output, thereby enabling the partition assembly 4 to be stably deployed and retracted.
[0139] In some other embodiments, the partition drive 45 may not include the first gearbox 452, that is, the partition drive motor 451 may be directly rotatably connected to the first rod.
[0140] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 8A The design of the first limiting member 43 and the second limiting member 44 ensures that when the partition drive motor 451 drives the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 to rotate to the unfolded state, the first limiting member 43 abuts against the second limiting member 44, causing the partition drive motor 451 to overload and cut off power, thereby locking the positions of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42. Through the design of the partition drive motor 451 in conjunction with the first limiting member 43 and the second limiting member 44, the positions of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 in the unfolded state can be accurately achieved without precise electric control. This simple method reduces the need for electrical control components, saving space and reducing costs.
[0141] Please refer to the following: Figures 8A to 9 , Figure 9 yes Figure 8A The diagram shows a design schematic of the partition component 4 in some embodiments. The thick solid line indicates the position of the transmission member 46 and the slide in the deployed state; the thick dashed line indicates the position of the transmission member 46 and the slide in the retracted state; and the thin dashed line indicates the envelope of the movement path at different points on the slide.
[0142] In some embodiments, the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 are illustrated by sharing the same first rotation center O1. Based on the structure of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42, it is set that from the unfolded state to the retracted state, the second partition 42 needs to rotate around the first rotation center O1 by a first angle α1 and the first partition 41 needs to rotate around the first rotation center O1 by a second angle α2. This can avoid the requirement of the front seat 5 facing the rear movement envelope of the cabin 10.
[0143] When designing the second slide groove 421, a slide groove can be drawn arbitrarily within the design area of the second partition 42 in the unfolded state. The transmission component 46 rotates around its first end 461, and its third end 463 forms the first envelope circle Y1. That is, a circle is drawn with the second rotation center O2 of the transmission component 46 as the center and the connecting line O2M11 as the radius to form the first envelope circle Y1. Point M11 represents the position of the second slider 48 in the second slide groove 421 in the unfolded state, i.e., the second position. With the first rotation center O1 of the second partition 42 as the center, point M11 rotates to form the second envelope circle Y2, and point M11' rotates to form the third envelope circle Y3. Point M12 represents the position of the second slider 48 in the second slide groove 421 in the retracted state, i.e., the fourth position. The intersection of the first envelope circle Y1 and the second envelope circle Y2 is the second position, and the intersection of the first envelope circle Y1 and the third envelope circle Y3 is the fourth position. The second slide groove 421 can be designed according to the second and fourth positions. The outline of the second slide groove 421 can be rectangular, arc-shaped, or a combination of various shapes. The closer the extension direction of the second slide groove 421 is to the tangent direction of the first envelope circle Y1, the smaller the sliding friction resistance between the second slider 48 and the second slide groove 421 during movement, but this results in a longer length for the second slide groove 421. Therefore, the design can be based on the range of arrangable slide grooves of the second partition 42 to make the extension direction of the second slide groove 421 close to the tangent direction of the first envelope circle Y1.
[0144] Similarly, the design principle of the first slide groove 411 can be the same as that of the second slide groove 421. A slide groove can be drawn arbitrarily within the design area of the first partition 41 in the unfolded state. The transmission component 46 rotates around its first end 461, and its second end 462 forms the fourth envelope circle Y4. That is, a circle is drawn with the second rotation center O2 of the transmission component 46 as the center and the connecting line O2M21 as the radius to form the fourth envelope circle Y4. Point M21 represents the position of the first slider 47 in the first slide groove 411 in the unfolded state, i.e., the first position. With the first rotation center O1 of the first partition 41 as the center, point M21 rotates to form the fifth envelope circle Y5, and point M21' rotates to form the sixth envelope circle Y6. Point M12 represents the position of the first slider 47 in the first slide groove 411 in the retracted state, i.e., the third position. The intersection of the fourth envelope circle Y4 and the fifth envelope circle Y5 is the first position, and the intersection of the fourth envelope circle Y4 and the sixth envelope circle Y6 is the third position. The first groove 411 can be designed based on the first and third positions. The outline of the first groove 411 can be rectangular, arc-shaped, or a combination of various shapes. The closer the extension direction of the first groove 411 is to the tangent direction of the fourth envelope circle Y4, the smaller the sliding friction resistance between the first slider 47 and the first groove 411 during movement, but this results in a longer length for the first groove 411. Therefore, the design can be based on the range of arrangable grooves in the first partition 41 to ensure that the extension direction of the first groove 411 is close to the tangent direction of the fourth envelope circle Y4.
[0145] Once the first, second, third, and fourth positions are determined, the shapes of the first slide 411 and the second slide 421 can be designed arbitrarily, as long as it ensures that in the unfolded state, the first slider 47 is located in the first position and the second slider 48 is located in the second position, and in the retracted state, the first slider 47 is located in the third position and the second slider 48 is located in the fourth position.

[0147] In some embodiments, the first end 461 of the transmission member 46 is connected to the second end 462 of the transmission member 46 to form a first connecting line L1, and at least a portion of the first sliding groove 411 in its extending direction is not perpendicular to the first connecting line L1. The first end 461 of the transmission member 46 is connected to the third end 463 of the transmission member 46 to form a second connecting line L2, and at least a portion of the second sliding groove 421 in its extending direction is not perpendicular to the second connecting line L2.
[0148] In this embodiment, since the first end 461 of the transmission member 46 is rotatably connected to the partition drive member 45, by designing that at least part of the first connecting line L1 is not perpendicular to the first slide groove 411 and at least part of the second connecting line L2 is not perpendicular to the second slide groove 421, the first partition member 41 and the second partition member 42 can rotate under the drive of the first slider 47 and the second slider 48 respectively when the transmission member 46 rotates, thereby realizing the retraction and deployment of the partition assembly 4.
[0149] In some examples, please refer to Figure 10A The outline of the first groove 411 can be rectangular. This design is beneficial to the processing of the first groove 411, which can improve the efficiency of processing the first groove 411 and reduce production costs.
[0150] In other examples, please refer to Figure 10B In the unfolded state, the second slide groove 421 can be perpendicular to the second line L2 where it accommodates the second slider 48. This design minimizes the frictional resistance of the second slider 48 rotating around the first end 461 of the transmission member 46, which helps to reduce the resistance of the partition drive member 45 and increase the starting speed of the partition drive member 45 when it is converted from the unfolded state to the retracted state.
[0151] In yet another example, please refer to Figure 11 In the retracted state, the second slide groove 421 can be perpendicular to the second line L2 where it accommodates the second slider 48. This design minimizes the frictional resistance of the second slider 48 rotating around the first end 461 of the transmission member 46, which helps to reduce the resistance of the partition drive member 45 and increase the starting speed of the partition drive member 45 when it is converted from the retracted state to the unfolded state.
[0152] Similarly, in the retracted state and / or the extended state, the first groove 411 receiving the first slider 47 is perpendicular to the first connecting line L1. This design minimizes the frictional resistance of the first slider 47 rotating around the first end 461 of the transmission member 46, which is beneficial for reducing the resistance of the partition drive member 45 and increasing the starting speed of the partition drive member 45 when transitioning from the extended state to the retracted state and / or from the retracted state to the extended state.
[0153] It should be noted that, Figures 10A to 11Only a partial structure of the first slide 411 and the second slide 421 is shown. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first slide 411 and the second slide 421 may also be of other shapes, as long as it can be ensured that in the unfolded state, the first slider 47 is located in the first position and the second slider 48 is located in the second position, and in the retracted state, the first slider 47 is located in the third position and the second slider 48 is located in the fourth position.
[0154] Please refer to the following: Figures 12 to 13B , Figure 12 yes Figure 4A A partial structural schematic diagram of the partition assembly 4 in the cockpit 10 shown in some other embodiments; Figure 13A yes Figure 12 A schematic diagram of the partition assembly 4 in the cockpit 10 in some embodiments, showing the structure in the deployed state. Figure 13B yes Figure 12 The diagram shows the partition assembly 4 in the cockpit 10 in a retracted state in some embodiments.
[0155] In some embodiments, the partition drive 45 may include a partition drive motor 451, a lead screw 453 and a drive unit 454. The lead screw 453 is drivenly connected to the partition drive motor 451, the drive unit 454 is sleeved on the lead screw 453 and threadedly connected to the lead screw 453, and the first end 461 of the transmission member 46 is fixedly connected to the drive unit 454.
[0156] In this embodiment, through the design of the partition drive motor 451, the lead screw 453 and the drive unit 454, the rotational output of the partition drive motor 451 can be converted into a linear output, so that the drive unit 454 can drive the transmission member 46 to move along the extension direction of the lead screw 453, thereby driving the first partition member 41 and the second partition member 42 to rotate relative to the side column 2, thereby realizing the switching of the partition assembly 4 between the unfolded state and the retracted state.
[0157] Please refer to the following: Figures 13A to 14 , Figure 14 yes Figure 13A The diagram shows a design schematic of the partition assembly 4 in some embodiments. The thick solid line indicates the position of the transmission member 46 and the slide rail in the deployed state, and the thick dashed line indicates the position of the transmission member 46 and the slide rail in the retracted state.
[0158] In some embodiments, the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 are illustrated by sharing the same first rotation center O1. Based on the structure of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42, it is set that from the unfolded state to the retracted state, the second partition 42 needs to rotate around the first rotation center O1 by a first angle α1 and the first partition 41 needs to rotate around the first rotation center O1 by a second angle α2. This can avoid the requirement of the front seat 5 facing the rear movement envelope of the cabin 10.
[0159] When the drive unit 454 is in the first transmission position on the lead screw 453, the partition assembly 4 is in the deployed state. The second position of the second slider 48 is selected based on the designable surface point N11 of the second partition 42, and the first position of the first slider 47 is selected based on the designable surface point N21 of the first partition 41. When the drive unit 454 is in the second transmission position on the lead screw 453, the partition assembly 4 is in the retracted state. The fourth position of the second slider 48 is selected based on the designable surface point N11' of the second partition 42, and the third position of the first slider 47 is selected based on the designable surface point N21' of the first partition 41. During the movement from the second transmission position to the first transmission position, the first rotation center O1 of the second partition 42 rotates by a first angle α1, and the first partition 41 rotates around the first rotation center O1 by a second angle α2.
[0160] The second slide groove 421 can be designed according to the second and fourth positions. The outline of the second slide groove 421 can be rectangular, arc-shaped, or a combination of various shapes. The closer the extension direction of the second slide groove 421 is to the extension direction of the lead screw 453, the smaller the sliding friction resistance between the second slider 48 and the second slide groove 421 during movement, but this results in a longer length for the second slide groove 421. Therefore, the design can be based on the range of arrangable slide grooves in the second partition 42 to make the extension direction of the second slide groove 421 close to the extension direction of the lead screw 453.
[0161] The first slide groove 411 can be designed according to the first and third positions. The outline of the first slide groove 411 can be rectangular, arc-shaped, or a combination of various shapes. The closer the extension direction of the first slide groove 411 is to the extension direction of the lead screw 453, the smaller the sliding friction resistance between the first slider 47 and the first slide groove 411 during movement, but this results in a longer length for the first slide groove 411. Therefore, the design can be based on the range of arrangable slide grooves in the first partition 41 to make the extension direction of the first slide groove 411 close to the extension direction of the lead screw 453.
[0162] Once the first, second, third, and fourth positions are determined, the shapes of the first slide 411 and the second slide 421 can be designed arbitrarily, as long as it ensures that in the unfolded state, the first slider 47 is located in the first position and the second slider 48 is located in the second position, and in the retracted state, the first slider 47 is located in the third position and the second slider 48 is located in the fourth position.
[0163] For example, at least a portion of the first groove 411 in its extending direction may intersect the extending direction of the lead screw 453. At least a portion of the second groove 421 in its extending direction may intersect the extending direction of the lead screw 453.
[0164] In this embodiment, since the first end 461 of the transmission member 46 is fixedly connected to the drive unit 454, the transmission member 46 can move along the extension direction of the lead screw 453 with the drive unit 454. By designing that at least a portion of the first slide groove 411 in its extension direction intersects the extension direction of the lead screw 453, and at least a portion of the second slide groove 421 in its extension direction intersects the extension direction of the lead screw 453, the first partition member 41 and the second partition member 42 can rotate under the drive of the first slider 47 and the second slider 48, respectively, so as to realize the retraction and unfolding of the partition assembly 4.
[0165] In the retracted and / or deployed state, the first slide groove 411 receiving the first slider 47 is parallel to the extension direction of the lead screw 453. This design minimizes the frictional resistance of the first slider 47 as it moves along the extension direction of the lead screw 453 with the transmission member 46 in the retracted or deployed state. This helps to reduce the resistance experienced by the partition drive member 45 and increase the starting speed of the partition drive member 45 when transitioning from the deployed state to the retracted state or vice versa.
[0166] In the retracted and / or deployed state, the second slide groove 421 receiving the second slider 48 is parallel to the extension direction of the lead screw 453. This design minimizes the frictional resistance of the second slider 48 as it moves along the extension direction of the lead screw 453 with the transmission member 46 in the retracted or deployed state. This helps to reduce the resistance experienced by the partition drive member 45 and increase the starting speed of the partition drive member 45 when transitioning from the deployed state to the retracted state or vice versa.
[0167] It should be noted that, Figure 13A and Figure 13B Only a partial structure of the first slide 411 and the second slide 421 is shown. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first slide 411 and the second slide 421 may also be of other shapes, as long as it can be ensured that in the unfolded state, the first slider 47 is located in the first position and the second slider 48 is located in the second position, and in the retracted state, the first slider 47 is located in the third position and the second slider 48 is located in the fourth position.
[0168] Please refer to the following: Figure 15A and Figure 15B , Figure 15A yes Figure 2A A schematic diagram of the structure of the first guide rail 49 of the partition assembly 4 in some embodiments of the cockpit 10 shown; Figure 15B yes Figure 15A The diagram shown illustrates the structure of the first guide rail 49 in an unfolded state in some embodiments.
[0169] In some embodiments, the partition assembly 4 may further include a first guide rail 49, which is mounted on the side of the second partition 42 facing the other side post 2. The screen assembly 3 may further include two third sliders 32, which may be connected to both sides of the projection screen 31. In the unfolded state, the third sliders 32 can move along the first guide rail 49, and the two third sliders 32 correspond one-to-one with the two first guide rails 49.
[0170] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the first guide rail 49 and the third slider 32 can improve the stability of the sliding connection between the projection screen 31 and the second partition 42, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the projection screen 31 during the unfolding and rewinding process.
[0171] For example, the first guide rail 49 may include a connecting section 491 and a track body 492. The connecting section 491 is connected to the end of the track body 492 near the ceiling 1. The shape of the connecting section 491 is different from that of the track body 492. In the unfolded state, the third slider 32 can slide into the track body 492 via the connecting section 491.
[0172] In this embodiment, the design of the connecting section 491 provides a structural transition for the third slider 32 to slide into the track body 492, which helps the third slider 32 to slide into the track body 492 more stably, thereby improving the stability of the projection screen 31 when unfolded.
[0173] The connecting section 491 is used to avoid the third slider 32 during the movement of the first guide rail 49. That is, the connecting section 491 is used to avoid the third slider 32 during the rotation of the second partition 42 around the first rotation center O1, so as to avoid the third slider 32 from shifting during the unfolding and retraction of the partition assembly 4, so as to ensure the stability of the projection screen 31.
[0174] The first guide rail 49 is rotatably connected to the side post 2. The connecting section 491 has an arc-shaped structure, and the bending direction of the connecting section 491 points towards the rotation center of the first guide rail 49. In the retracted state, the third slider 32 is located at the connecting section 491. In the unfolded state, the third slider 32 can slide and connect to the main track body 492.
[0175] In this embodiment, by designing the connecting segment 491 to have an arc-shaped structure, it is beneficial for the connecting segment 491 to avoid the third slider 32 during the rotation of the first rotation center O1.
[0176] The bending center of the connecting segment 491 can be the rotation center of the first guide rail 49, which is the first rotation center O1. This design ensures that the third slider 32 is located on the movement path of the connecting segment 491. When the first guide rail 49 moves, the third slider 32 can remain fixed. The connecting segment 491 and the third slider 32 slide without causing the third slider 32 to be offset.
[0177] Among them, the connecting section 491 can be a single-sided guide structure or a double-sided guide structure.
[0178] In some other embodiments, the connecting segment 491 can be a larger structure to allow for movement avoidance of the third slider 32.
[0179] Please refer to the following: Figure 16A and Figure 16B , Figure 16A yes Figure 2A A schematic diagram of the structure of the first guide rail 49 of the partition assembly 4 in the cockpit 10 shown in some other embodiments; Figure 16B yes Figure 16A The diagram shown illustrates the structure of the first guide rail 49 in an unfolded state in some embodiments.
[0180] In some embodiments, the end of the connecting segment 491 away from the track body 492 may have a first opening 4911, and the end of the connecting segment 491 connected to the track body 492 may have a second opening 4912, wherein the size of the first opening 4911 is larger than the size of the second opening 4912.
[0181] In this embodiment, by designing the size of the first opening 4911 to be larger than the size of the second opening 4912, it is easier to align the third slider 32 with the connecting section 491 in the unfolded state. This facilitates the stable sliding of the third slider 32 into the connecting section 491 and into the track body 492, thereby improving the stability of the projection screen 31 when unfolded.
[0182] For example, the curtain device also includes a second guide rail 38, which is fixed to the ceiling 1. In the retracted state, the third slider 32 is located on the second guide rail 38; in the unfolded state, at least a portion of the second guide rail 38 is located within the first opening 4911.
[0183] In this embodiment, the design of the second guide rail 38 ensures that the third slider 32 can be stably housed within the second guide rail 38 in the retracted state, thereby preventing the third slider 32 from shifting and ensuring the stability of the projection screen 31. Furthermore, in the unfolded state, the second guide rail 38 provides motion support for the third slider 32, allowing it to slide more stably into the connecting section 491 and further into the track body 492.
[0184] Next, we will introduce how to roll up and unfold the projection screen 31.
[0185] Please see Figure 17 , Figure 17 yes Figure 2A The diagram shows the structure of the curtain assembly 3 in some embodiments of the cockpit 10.
[0186] In some embodiments, the screen assembly 3 may further include a roller 33 and a screen drive 34, with the projection screen 31 wound around the roller 33. The screen drive 34 is mounted on the ceiling 1 and is used to drive the roller 33 to rotate, thereby enabling the projection screen 31 to unfold and retract.
[0187] For example, a first elastic element 35 may be provided inside the scroll 33. The first elastic element 35 is elastically connected to the scroll 33 and is in a stretched state.
[0188] In this embodiment, by designing the first elastic element 35, a tension force can be provided to the first elastic element 35 to stretch the projection screen 31, thereby keeping the projection screen 31 in a taut state, which is beneficial to the flatness of the projection screen 31 surface.
[0189] When the projection screen 31 is unfolded, the first elastic element 35 has a first tension force, and when the projection screen 31 is rolled up, the first elastic element 35 has a second tension force, and the first tension force is greater than the second tension force.
[0190] In this embodiment, the first elastic element 35 can have a greater tension when the projection screen 31 is unfolded, which helps to ensure that the projection screen 31 remains taut during the unfolding process, so that the surface of the projection screen 31 is flat.
[0191] The more the projection screen 31 is unfolded, the greater the tension of the first elastic element 35.
[0192] The first elastic element 35 can be a coil spring or a torsion spring.
[0193] In some embodiments, the screen drive 34 may be located between the roller 33 and the ceiling 1. The screen assembly 3 may also include a first fixed pulley 361, a second fixed pulley 362, and a drive rope 37. The first fixed pulley 361 may be mounted on the partition assembly 4, and the first fixed pulley 361 is located on the side of the projection screen 31 away from the ceiling 1. The second fixed pulley 362 is mounted on a different partition assembly 4 than the first fixed pulley 361, and the second fixed pulley 362 is located on the side of the projection screen 31 away from the ceiling 1. Along the direction from the first end 371 to the second end 372 of the drive rope 37, the drive rope 37 is sequentially fixedly connected to the first end 341 of the screen drive component 34, wound around the first fixed pulley 361, fixedly connected to the first connection point 311 on the side of the projection screen 31 away from the roller 33, passing between the screen drive component 34 and the roller 33, wound around the second fixed pulley 362, fixedly connected to the second connection point 312 on the side of the projection screen 31 away from the roller 33, and fixedly connected to the second end 342 of the screen drive component 34. The first connection point 311 and the second connection point 312 are spaced apart. The screen drive component 34 is used to pull one end of the drive rope 37.
[0194] In this embodiment, the first fixed pulley 361 and the second fixed pulley 362 are respectively installed on different partition components 4 so that the first fixed pulley 361 and the second fixed pulley 362 can retract and unfold together with the partition components 4. By designing the first fixed pulley 361 and the second fixed pulley 362 to be located on the side of the projection screen 31 away from the ceiling 1, the first fixed pulley 361 can change the direction of the force, and the second fixed pulley 362 can also change the direction of the force. This ensures that when the screen drive member 34 pulls the drive rope 37, the force direction of the first connection 311 and the second connection 312 is consistent, thereby ensuring that the force on both ends of the projection screen 31 is consistent, which can improve the stability of the projection screen 31 during unfolding and rewinding.
[0195] For example, the first connection 311 can be the third slider 32, and the second connection 312 can be the third slider 32 on the other side, which is beneficial for the drive rope 37 to better drive the third slider 32 to slide in the first guide rail 49.
[0196] For example, the curtain drive unit 34 may include a curtain drive motor 343, a second reduction gearbox 344, and a drive shaft 345. The curtain drive motor 343 is driven by the second reduction gearbox 344, and the second reduction gearbox 344 is driven by the drive shaft 345. The curtain drive motor 343 is used to drive the drive shaft 345 to move along the length direction of the roll 33. The first end 371 of the drive rope 37 is fixedly connected to the first end 3451 of the drive shaft 345, and the second end 372 of the drive rope 37 is fixedly connected to the second end 3452 of the drive shaft 345.
[0197] In this embodiment, the design of the drive shaft 345 enables the conversion of the rotational output of the curtain drive motor 343 into a linear output, thereby driving the drive rope 37 to move. The second reduction gearbox 344 ensures more stable movement of the drive shaft 345.
[0198] The drive shaft 345 can be a flexible metal shaft, which allows the drive shaft 345 to deform to match the shape of the canopy 1. This reduces the degree of bending of the drive ropes 37 at both ends of the drive shaft 345, reduces stress concentration in the drive ropes 37, and facilitates better force transmission in the drive ropes 37.
[0199] In some other embodiments, the curtain drive 34 may also exclude the second gearbox 344.
[0200] For example, the curtain assembly 3 further includes a third fixed pulley 363 and a fourth fixed pulley 364, which are fixed to the ceiling 1 and located on both sides of the roller 33 along its length. The third fixed pulley 363 is located between the first end 341 of the curtain drive member 34 and the first fixed pulley 361, and along the direction from the first end 371 to the second end 372 of the drive rope 37, the portion of the drive rope 37 between the first end 341 of the curtain drive member 34 and the first fixed pulley 361 is wound around the third fixed pulley 363. The fourth fixed pulley 364 is located between the second end 342 of the curtain drive member 34 and the second fixed pulley 362, and along the direction from the first end 371 to the second end 372 of the drive rope 37, the portion of the drive rope 37 between the second end 342 of the curtain drive member 34 and the second fixed pulley 362 is wound around the fourth fixed pulley 364.
[0201] In this embodiment, by designing the third fixed pulley 363 and the fourth fixed pulley 364, support can be provided for the portion of the drive rope 37 near the first end 371 and the portion near the second end 372, respectively. This reduces the degree of bending of the drive rope 37, reduces stress concentration in the drive rope 37, and facilitates better force transmission within the drive rope 37. Furthermore, it also prevents the drive rope 37 from rubbing against the projection screen 31.
[0202] For example, the curtain assembly 3 may further include a fifth fixed pulley 365 and a sixth fixed pulley 366, which are fixed to the ceiling 1 and located on both sides of the roller 33 along its length. Along the direction from the first end 371 to the second end 372 of the drive rope 37, the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the first connection 311 and the second fixed pulley 362 sequentially winds around the fifth fixed pulley 365 and the sixth fixed pulley 366.
[0203] In this embodiment, by designing the fifth fixed pulley 365 and the sixth fixed pulley 366, guiding support can be provided for the portion of the drive rope 37 passing through the roller 33 and the screen drive component 34, reducing the degree of bending of the drive rope 37 and reducing stress concentration in the drive rope 37, which is beneficial for better force transmission in the drive rope 37. In addition, it can also prevent the drive rope 37 from rubbing against the projection screen 31 and the roller 33.
[0204] It should be noted that, Figure 17 The illustrated curtain assembly 3 includes a first fixed pulley 361, a second fixed pulley 362, a third fixed pulley 363, a fourth fixed pulley 364, a fifth fixed pulley 365, and a sixth fixed pulley 366. In some other embodiments, the curtain assembly 3 may also include more or fewer fixed pulleys.
[0205] Please refer to the following: Figure 18A and Figure 18B , Figure 18A yes Figure 17 A schematic diagram of the projection screen 31 unfolded from the screen assembly 3 shown; Figure 18B yes Figure 17 The diagram shows the projection screen 31 being rolled up by the screen assembly 3. It should be noted that... Figure 18A and Figure 18B The straight line with the arrow indicates the direction of the force on the drive rope 37, that is, the direction of motion of the drive rope 37.
[0206] Please see Figure 18A When the screen drive motor 343 drives the drive shaft 345 to move to the right, the drive shaft 345 drives the first end 371 of the drive rope 37 to move to the right, causing the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the third fixed pulley 363 and the first fixed pulley 361 to move upward. This, in turn, causes the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the first fixed pulley 361 and the left third slider 32 to move downward, thus enabling the projection screen 31 to unfold via the left third slider 32. Simultaneously, the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the fifth fixed pulley 365 and the sixth fixed pulley 366 moves to the left, causing the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the sixth fixed pulley 366 and the second fixed pulley 362 to move upward. This, in turn, causes the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the second fixed pulley 362 and the right third slider 32 to move downward, thus enabling the projection screen 31 to unfold via the right third slider 32. This achieves the simultaneous unfolding of the projection screen 31 by both the left and right third sliders 32. At the same time, the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the fourth fixed pulley 364 and the second end 372 of the drive rope 37 moves to the right, realizing the overall drive closed-loop design of the drive shaft 345 and the drive rope 37.
[0207] Please see Figure 18BWhen the screen drive motor 343 drives the drive shaft 345 to move to the left, the drive shaft 345 drives the second end 372 of the drive rope 37 to move to the left, causing the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the fourth fixed pulley 364 and the second fixed pulley 362 to move upward. This enables the right third slider 32 to drive the projection screen 31 upward, thus achieving roll-up. Simultaneously, the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the second fixed pulley 362 and the sixth fixed pulley 366 moves downward, causing the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the sixth fixed pulley 366 and the fifth fixed pulley 365 to move to the right. This causes the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the fifth fixed pulley 365 and the first fixed pulley 361 to move upward, enabling the left third slider 32 to drive the projection screen 31 upward, thus achieving roll-up. In this way, both the left and right third sliders 32 simultaneously drive the projection screen 31 to roll up. At the same time, the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the first fixed pulley 361 and the third fixed pulley 363 moves downward, thereby driving the portion of the drive rope 37 located between the third fixed pulley 363 and the first end 371 of the drive rope 37 to move to the left, thus realizing the overall drive closed-loop design of the drive shaft 345 and the drive rope 37.
[0208] The above describes the structural design of the partition assembly 4 and the curtain assembly 3 in some embodiments of the cockpit 10. Next, the control methods of the partition assembly 4 and the curtain assembly 3 in some embodiments of the cockpit 10 will be introduced.
[0209] Please see Figure 19 , Figure 19 This is a schematic diagram of a cockpit 10 control method provided in one embodiment of this application.
[0210] In some embodiments, the control method may include steps S10 to S40.
[0211] Step S10: Unfold the partition component 4 to the unfolded state.
[0212] Step S20: Unfold the projection screen 31.
[0213] In this embodiment, by first unfolding the partition component 4 and then unfolding the projection screen 31, the partition component 4 can provide a sliding guide for the projection screen 31, thereby improving the stability of the unfolding of the projection screen 31.
[0214] Step S30: Roll up the projection screen 31.
[0215] Step S40: Retract the partition component 4 to the retracted state.
[0216] In this embodiment, during the process of rolling up the projection screen 31, the partition component 4 can provide a sliding guide for the projection screen 31, thereby improving the stability of the roll-up of the projection screen 31.
[0217] In this embodiment, since the partition assembly 4 is in the retracted state, it can avoid the front seat 5, so that the front seat 5 will not structurally interfere with the partition assembly 4 during the rearward movement. The rearward movement of the front seat 5 includes the entire front seat 5 moving towards the rear of the cabin 10 and the backrest of the front seat 5 rotating towards the rear of the cabin 10.
[0218] It should be noted that the control method may include some of the steps S10 to S40. For example, the control method may include only steps S10 and S20, or the control method may include only steps S30 and S40.
[0219] It should be noted that the control method is not limited to the above order. For example, the control sequence of the control method can also be steps S30, S40, S10, and S20. Understandably, the specific control sequence of the control method depends on the specific states of the partition assembly 4 and the curtain assembly 3.
[0220] For example, the control method can also link the movement of the projection screen 31 and the partition assembly 4 with the movement of the front seat 5. Specifically, the control method may further include: responding to a command to move the front seat 5 backward; confirming whether the partition assembly 4 is in a retracted state; if so, moving the front seat 5 backward; if not, further confirming whether the projection screen 31 is rolled up; if so, retracting the partition assembly 4 to the retracted state; if not, first rolling up the projection screen 31, then retracting the partition assembly 4 to the retracted state.
[0221] For example, before unfolding the partition assembly 4 to the unfolded state, the control method may further include: responding to the partition assembly 4 unfolding command; confirming whether the front seat 5 needs to be moved forward; if so, moving the front seat 5 forward and then unfolding the partition assembly 4 to the unfolded state; if not, unfolding the partition assembly 4 to the unfolded state.
[0222] The execution and storage entities of the above control methods will be introduced next.
[0223] In some embodiments, the control device may include a unit for executing the control method described above, and each unit in the control device may be used to execute a corresponding process of the control method described above.
[0224] For example, the control device may include an acquisition unit and a processing unit. When the control device is used to execute the above control method, the acquisition unit may be used to acquire position information of the partition assembly and the curtain assembly, and the processing unit may be used to execute and control the partition drive and the curtain drive.
[0225] It should be understood that the division of units in the above device is only a logical functional division. In actual implementation, they can be fully or partially integrated into a single physical entity, or they can be physically separated. All units of the above device can be implemented entirely through processor-invoked software, entirely through hardware circuits, or partially through processor-invoked software with the remaining parts implemented through hardware circuits.
[0226] In a specific implementation, the acquisition unit can be implemented by at least one processor or processor-related circuitry, and the processing unit can be implemented by at least one transceiver or transceiver-related circuitry.

These logical relationships of hardware circuits are fixed or reconfigurable. For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units. In addition, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a neural network processing unit (NPU), tensor processing unit (TPU), deep learning processing unit (DPU), etc.
