[0001] This invention relates to the field of cockpit technology, and in particular to a cockpit. Background Technology

[0002] As a human-computer interaction platform, the cockpit can be installed in various vehicles such as automobiles, aircraft, or ships, or deployed in fixed locations, such as as home entertainment equipment in users' residences, or as a commercial immersive experience device in game experience centers, theme parks, and other scenarios. In related technologies, the cockpit's electronic control modules are relatively heavy. Disassembling and repairing them requires operators to withstand significant physical loads, which is not only laborious but also limits operating space, significantly reducing maintenance efficiency and convenience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a cockpit that improves the ease of maintenance of the electronic control module.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the cockpit proposed in this invention includes a frame module and an electronic control module. The electronic control module includes a protective shell and an electrical module installed on the protective shell. The protective shell is provided with a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part is rotatably connected to the frame module, and the second connecting part is detachably fixed to the frame module, thereby allowing the electronic control module to be flipped relative to the frame module.

[0005] In one embodiment, the first connecting part is rotatably connected to the skeleton module via a hinge or a pivot.

[0006] In one embodiment, the second connection portion is detachably fixed to the skeleton module by fasteners or snap-fits.

[0007] In one embodiment, the electronic control module is configured to flip outward relative to the interaction space of the cockpit.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first connecting portion is located on the lower edge of the electronic control module, and the second connecting portion is located on other side edges of the electronic control module.

[0009] In one embodiment, the protective shell includes a detachably fixed first shell portion and a second shell portion, the first shell portion and the second shell portion forming a mounting cavity, the electrical module being installed in the mounting cavity, and at least one of the first shell portion and the second shell portion being provided with the first connecting portion or the second connecting portion.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first shell portion is located on the side away from the interaction space of the cockpit and protrudes into the mounting cavity to form a first connecting post, and the second shell portion is connected to the first connecting post by a first fastener.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first housing portion further protrudes into the mounting cavity to form a second connecting post. The electrical module includes a mounting housing, and a connecting protrusion protrudes from the outer periphery of the mounting housing. The connecting protrusion is fixed to the second connecting post by a second fastener.

[0012] In one embodiment, the side of the mounting shell facing away from the interaction space abuts against the first shell portion, and the second fastener, the second connecting post, and the connecting protrusion are provided in a plurality of corresponding positions. At least one of the mounting shells of the electrical module is provided with a plurality of the connecting protrusions in the circumferential direction.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first shell portion is provided with a weight-reducing hole, and the mounting shell is fitted to the periphery of the weight-reducing hole on the side of the first shell portion facing the mounting cavity.

[0014] In one embodiment, the first housing portion is provided with a limiting portion protruding toward the mounting cavity, and at least one of the electrical modules is installed between the two limiting portions and fixedly connected to the limiting portions.

[0015] In one embodiment, a wire outlet is formed on the side between the first shell portion and the second shell portion.

[0016] In one embodiment, the first housing portion is further provided with a mounting hole for mounting a cable clip.

[0017] In one embodiment, a three-dimensional interactive space is formed inside the skeleton module, and the skeleton module forms a plurality of closed support units. The closed support units are configured as polygonal structures, and the protective shell is provided with a plurality of sides. The plurality of sides are respectively connected to each side of the closed support unit, wherein one of the sides is provided with the first connecting part, and at least one of the other sides is provided with the second connecting part.

[0018] In this invention, the protective shell of the electronic control module has two connecting parts with different functions. The first connecting part is rotatably connected to the frame module of the cockpit, forming a flipping fulcrum. The second connecting part is detachably fixed to the frame module to stably lock the electronic control module under normal operating conditions. When the electronic control module needs to be repaired or debugged during production, the fixing constraint of the second connecting part only needs to be released, allowing the entire electronic control module to flip around the first connecting part relative to the frame module. This exposes the electrical modules that were originally facing inward or hidden to the operator's view and operating space, eliminating the need to completely remove the entire heavy electronic control module from the cockpit. This avoids high-load operations such as handling and lifting, significantly improving the maintenance convenience and debugging efficiency of the electronic control module.

[0027] This invention proposes a cockpit.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the cockpit includes a frame module 10 and an electronic control module 20. The electronic control module 20 includes a protective shell 100 and an electrical module 200 installed on the protective shell 100. The protective shell 100 is provided with a first connecting part 101 and a second connecting part 102. The first connecting part 101 is rotatably connected to the frame module 10, and the second connecting part 102 is detachably fixed to the frame module 10, thereby allowing the electronic control module 20 to be flipped relative to the frame module 10.

[0029] In the technical solution of this invention, the protective shell 100 of the electronic control module 20 is provided with two connecting parts with different functions. The first connecting part 101 is rotatably connected to the frame module 10 of the cockpit, forming a flipping fulcrum. The second connecting part 102 is detachably fixed to the frame module 10, which is used to stably lock the electronic control module 20 under normal working conditions. When the electronic control module 20 needs to be repaired, or when it needs to be debugged during the production process, it is only necessary to release the fixing constraint of the second connecting part 102, so that the entire electronic control module 20 can be flipped relative to the frame module 10 around the first connecting part 101. This exposes the electrical module 200, which was originally facing inward or hidden, to the operator's field of vision and operating space. It is not necessary to completely remove the entire heavy electronic control module 20 from the cockpit, avoiding high-load operations such as handling and lifting, which significantly improves the maintenance convenience and debugging efficiency of the electronic control module 20.

[0030] The electrical module 200 can be exposed and mounted on the protective housing 100, so that after the electronic control module 20 is flipped over, the electrical module 200 can be positioned on a side that facilitates maintenance and debugging; alternatively, it can be housed within the mounting cavity formed by the protective housing 100, so that after the electronic control module 20 is flipped over, the protective housing 100 can be removed to access and maintain the internal electrical module 200. Furthermore, the electrical module 200 can be configured as an electronic control box, integrating circuit boards, relays, power converters, and other electrical components within the box; alternatively, the circuit board can be directly mounted on the inner wall of the protective housing 100, serving as an independent electrical module 200.

[0031] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The first connecting part 101 is rotatably connected to the skeleton module 10 via a hinge 300 or a pivot. This type of structure is mature and reliable, providing a stable axis of rotation, and can be combined with damping or limiting designs to prevent uncontrolled swaying due to gravity or inertia during flipping, ensuring operational safety. In other embodiments, a ball joint structure can also be used to achieve the rotatable connection.

[0032] In one embodiment, the second connecting part 102 is detachably fixed to the skeleton module 10 by fasteners or snap-fits. This ensures the connection stability between the electronic control module 20 and the skeleton module 10 and facilitates the disassembly of the second connecting part 102 and the skeleton module 10. Furthermore, push-button snap-fits, knob locks, or quick-release bolts can be used, allowing operators to quickly unlock and reset without tools, improving on-site maintenance efficiency. In other embodiments, a quick-release locking structure can also be used to achieve a detachable connection.

[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2The electronic control module 20 is configured to flip outward relative to the interaction space 12 of the cockpit. It should be noted that this flipping direction is relative to the installation state of the electronic control module 20. The outward flipping direction provides ample space for the electronic control module 20 to fully expose its maintenance surface, while also providing sufficient operating space for the operator, further improving operational convenience. In other embodiments, the electronic control module 20 can also flip inward, i.e., towards the interior of the cockpit frame, suitable for layout scenarios where external space is limited but internal maintenance access is provided.

[0034] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The first connecting portion 101 is located on the lower edge of the electronic control module 20, and the second connecting portion 102 is located on the other side edges of the electronic control module 20. Thus, during maintenance, the electronic control module 20 will flip downwards, utilizing gravity to assist in stable docking after the flip, while avoiding interference with surrounding structures during the flipping process, improving operational reliability. Furthermore, it allows the maintenance surface to be exposed upwards, facilitating maintenance or debugging operations by personnel. It should be noted that all directional directions in this invention are based on the cockpit's operational state.

[0035] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The protective shell 100 includes a detachably fixed first shell portion 110 and a second shell portion 120. The first shell portion 110 and the second shell portion 120 form a mounting cavity, in which the electrical module 200 is mounted. At least one of the first shell portion 110 and the second shell portion 120 is provided with the first connecting portion 101 or the second connecting portion 102. Thus, not only are the internal electrical module 200 physically protected and electromagnetically shielded by the first shell portion 110 and the second shell portion 120, but the modular assembly of the electronic control module 20 is also facilitated.

[0036] The first connecting portion 101 and the second connecting portion 102 may be formed on either the first shell portion 110 or the second shell portion 120, or one of the first shell portion 110 and the second shell portion 120 may have the first connecting portion 101 and the other may have the second connecting portion 102. With the first shell portion 110 and the second shell portion 120 fixed, these layouts can ensure that the electronic control module 20 is stably installed on the frame module 10.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5The first housing portion 110 is located on the side opposite to the interaction space 12 of the cockpit, and protrudes into the mounting cavity to form a first connecting post 111. The second housing portion 120 is connected to the first connecting post 111 by a first fastener 410. In this way, the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120 can be stably connected by the first fastener 410. At the same time, the first connecting post 111 can also provide support between the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120 to ensure the stable installation of the electrical module 200.

[0038] It should be noted that the position of the first housing 110 is relative to the installation state of the electronic control module 20. That is, in the installation state of the electronic control module 20, the first housing 110 is located on the side away from the interaction space 12, and the second housing 120 is located on the side facing the interaction space 12. The head of the first fastener 410 will be located on the side where the second housing 120 is located. After the electronic control module 20 is flipped over, the head of the first fastener 410 can be exposed, so that the operator can loosen the fastener and disassemble the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 for maintenance of the electrical module 200.

[0039] In other embodiments, the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120 may also be connected by snap-fit.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first housing portion 110 also protrudes into the mounting cavity to form a second connecting post 112. The electrical module 200 includes a mounting housing 210, and a connecting protrusion 211 protrudes from the outer periphery of the mounting housing 210. The connecting protrusion 211 is fixed to the second connecting post 112 by a second fastener 420. Thus, the electrical module 200 can be reliably fixed within the mounting cavity by the second fastener 420. During maintenance, after removing the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120, the second fastener 420 can be removed to detach the electrical module from the mounting cavity.

[0041] In one embodiment, the mounting shell 210 abuts against the first shell portion 110 on the side opposite to the interaction space 12. Multiple second fasteners 420, second connecting posts 112, and connecting protrusions 211 are provided in a corresponding manner. At least one mounting shell 210 of the electrical module 200 has multiple connecting protrusions 211 in the circumferential direction. Thus, the electrical module 200 can be fixed at multiple points via the connecting protrusions 211, forming a multi-point balanced force-bearing structure, effectively dispersing vibration loads, preventing displacement of the electrical module 200 due to resonance or impact during cabin use or movement, and improving long-term reliability.

[0042] Specifically, when the electrical module 200 is small in size or weight, a connecting protrusion 211 can be provided on each of the opposite sides of the mounting shell 210. To improve connection stability, the two connecting protrusions 211 can be set as diagonally as possible. When the electrical module 200 is large in size or weight, connecting protrusions 211 can be provided at each corner of the mounting shell 210 to ensure the fixed reliability of the electrical module 200.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The first shell portion 110 is provided with a weight-reducing hole 113, and the mounting shell 210 is attached to the periphery of the weight-reducing hole 113 on the side of the first shell portion 110 facing the mounting cavity. While reducing the overall weight, the periphery of the weight-reducing hole 113 serves as a support surface for the mounting shell 210, ensuring local rigidity and preventing structural deformation caused by large-area perforations, thus achieving a balance between lightweight and strength. Simultaneously, the mounting shell 210's coverage of the weight-reducing hole 113 acts as a seal, effectively preventing dust, moisture, and other foreign matter from entering the mounting cavity through the weight-reducing hole 113.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The first housing portion 110 is provided with a limiting portion 114 protruding towards the mounting cavity. At least one electrical module 200 is mounted between two limiting portions 114 and fixedly connected to the limiting portions 114. In this way, a precise mounting reference can be provided by the limiting portion 114, and by fixing the mounting shell 210 of the electrical module 200 to the limiting portion 114, the electrical module 200 can be prevented from moving within the mounting cavity, thus enhancing vibration resistance.

[0045] Specifically, the first housing portion 110 is configured as a sheet metal part, and the limiting portion 114 is formed by stamping to reduce material usage. When the limiting portion 114 is bent into the mounting cavity, the first housing portion 110 forms a process hole. The electrical module 200 installed between the two limiting portions 114 can have the process hole covered by the mounting housing 210, effectively preventing dust from entering. The limiting portion 114 can be connected to the mounting housing 210 using fasteners.

[0046] It should be noted that the mounting shell 210 of the electrical module 200 can be fixed by both connecting to the limiting part 114 and connecting to the second connecting post 112, or it can be fixed by only one method. Specifically, multiple electrical modules 200 may be provided within the mounting cavity, with some electrical modules 200 fixed by connecting to the limiting part 114 and others fixed by connecting to the second connecting post 112.

[0047] Specifically, the multiple electrical modules 200 include a power supply module, a drive module, and a control module. The power supply module is used for voltage conversion and has overcurrent, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection functions. The drive module drives the relevant actuators connected to the seat, such as the backrest adjustment motor, the headrest lifting mechanism, and the seat cushion forward and backward sliding device, so that the seat can be adjusted to a comfortable sitting posture for the user. The control module is used to receive signals from the cockpit interaction interface, such as signals from buttons, touch screens, or voice commands, to coordinate the operation of various components.

[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The first housing 110 is also provided with a mounting hole 115, which is used for installing a cable routing clip. The cable routing clip is used to fix the wire harness inside the mounting cavity, so that the power line, signal line, etc. are bundled in an orderly manner, avoiding shaking, friction or tangling, and improving the neatness of the wiring and electromagnetic compatibility.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A cable outlet 103 is formed on the side between the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120. Thus, the wiring harnesses of each electrical module 200 are centrally led out through this cable outlet 103, facilitating connection with external systems and promoting neat management of the wiring harnesses. Furthermore, the second housing portion 120 forms a partial recessed space on one side of the cable outlet 103, making the effective opening size of the cable outlet 103 narrower. This, combined with a sealing sleeve or cable clamp, further constrains the routing of the wiring harness, preventing it from being pulled or worn during flipping.

[0050] Specifically, the first shell portion 110 is configured as a cover plate structure, and the second shell portion 120 is configured as a box-shaped structure with an opening, with the first shell portion 110 covering the opening of the second shell portion 120.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The skeleton module 10 forms a three-dimensional interactive space 12 on its inner side. The skeleton module 10 forms a plurality of closed support units 11. The closed support units 11 are configured as polygonal structures. The protective shell 100 is provided with a plurality of sides. The plurality of sides are respectively connected to each side of the closed support unit 11. One of the sides is provided with the first connecting part 101, and at least one of the other sides is provided with the second connecting part 102.

[0052] Specifically, the skeleton module 10 can form a structure similar to a spatial polyhedron, with each side of the closed support unit 11 corresponding to the edges of the spatial polyhedron. This skeleton module 10 can be derived from regular or semi-regular polyhedra such as hexahedrons, icosahedrons, and icosahedrons, exhibiting a high degree of geometric regularity and structural symmetry. This polyhedron-derived configuration not only endows the cockpit with excellent deformation resistance but also presents a neat, orderly, and technologically advanced visual effect, helping to enhance the product's design recognizability and thus strengthen its overall market competitiveness.

[0053] Meanwhile, the polygonal closed support unit 11 can also form a stable geometric constraint, effectively suppressing local deformation. Multiple closed support units 11 are spatially coupled to form a three-dimensional force transmission network, enabling external loads to be efficiently distributed along multiple paths, thereby significantly improving the overall stiffness and compressive and torsional resistance of the skeleton module 10. Among them, the figure shows a triangular closed support unit 11.

[0054] Based on this, by installing the electronic control module 20 corresponding to one of the enclosed support units 11, and by installing each side of the electronic control module 20 and each side of the enclosed support unit 11 in a corresponding manner, the installation stability of the electronic control module 20 can be guaranteed.

[0055] Furthermore, the electronic control module 20 is installed on one of the enclosed support units 11 on the bottom side. The enclosed support unit 11 extends at an angle relative to the horizontal direction from top to bottom, forming a sufficient space between it and the mounting surface of the cockpit (such as the ground) to allow the electronic control module 20 to be flipped. After the electronic control module 20 is flipped, there is still enough space above it for easy maintenance or debugging.

[0056] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present invention and the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
