Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] The sub-instrument panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the sub-instrument panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a track 1, a main body 2, a split part 3, and a motion drive assembly 9. The main body 2 and the split part 3 are movably disposed on the track 1, and the main body 2 and the split part 3 are detachably connected. The motion drive assembly 9 is connected between the main body 2 and the track 1. The sub-instrument panel 100 has a separated state and an engaged state. In the separated state, the main body 2 and the split part 3 are separated from each other, and the motion drive assembly 9 can drive the main body 2 to move on the track 1. In the engaged state, the main body 2 and the split part 3 are connected to each other, and the motion drive assembly 9 can drive the main body 2 and the split part 3 to move together on the track 1.

[0034] Specifically, the auxiliary instrument panel 100 can be used for occupants to place items, and the rail 1 is located on the bottom wall of the vehicle's passenger compartment and runs along the vehicle's front-to-back direction (e.g., Figure 1 Extending in the front-to-back direction (as shown), both the main body 2 and the sub-part 3 are movably mounted on the track 1 and arranged along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle. By moving the main body 2 and the sub-part 3 along the track 1, the main body 2 can be located between the front seats for use by the front passengers; the main body 2 can be located between the front and rear seats for use by the rear passengers; the sub-part 3 can be located between the front seats for use by the front passengers; or the sub-part 3 can be located between the front and rear seats for use by the rear passengers. This satisfies the usage needs of both front and rear passengers and facilitates their use of the sub-dashboard 100.

[0035] Meanwhile, when the vehicle has multiple rows of seats, the main body 2 and the split part 3 can also be located between the front seats and the second row of seats, between the second row of seats, and between the second row of seats and the third row of seats, to meet the usage needs of passengers in different positions.

[0036] A motion drive assembly 9 is connected between the main body 2 and the track 1, and is used to drive the movement of the main body 2 on the track 1. In some embodiments, the motion drive assembly 9 may employ a mechanical transmission method, including a belt drive mechanism disposed on the track 1. The main body 2 has a connecting part, which is connected to the belt drive mechanism. The belt is driven by a pulley to move, thereby driving the connecting part to move, and thus driving the main body 2 to move. In other embodiments, the motion drive assembly 9 may also employ an electromagnetic drive method, including a first electromagnetic component and a second electromagnetic component. The first electromagnetic component is disposed on the track 1, and the second electromagnetic component is disposed on the main body 2. The first electromagnetic component drives the main body 2 to move on the track 1 through the second electromagnetic component.

[0037] Both the main body 2 and the split part 3 have storage or placement functions. The main body 2 and the split part 3 have separate and engaged states. In the separated state, the main body 2 and the split part 3 are separate, and the motion drive component 9 can drive the main body 2 to move on the track 1. In the engaged state, the main body 2 and the split part 3 are connected, and the motion drive component 9 can drive the main body 2 and the split part 3 to move together on the track 1. This allows the split part 3 and the main body 2 to move simultaneously, or the main body 2 to move independently while the split part 3 is positioned where passengers require it. Taking a typical two-row vehicle as an example, the main body 2 can be located between the front seats, and the split part 3 between the front and rear seats; the split part 3 can be located between the front seats, and the main body 2 between the front and rear seats; both the main body 2 and the split part 3 can be located between the front seats; or both the main body 2 and the split part 3 can be located between the front and rear seats. At this time, passengers in the front and rear rows can store or place items at the same time, meeting the needs of all passengers in the vehicle.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary instrument panel 100 defines the main body 2 and the split part 3 as having a separated state and an engaged state. The main body 2 and the split part 3 are movably disposed on the track 1 and arranged along the front and rear direction of the vehicle. The main body 2 and the split part 3 can be disposed in different positions to meet the usage needs of different passengers and increase the riding experience of the passengers.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3-5As shown, an electromagnetic attraction mechanism 21 is provided on the bottom of the main body 2 near the side of the split part 3, and an attraction part 331 is provided on the bottom of the split part 3 near the side of the main body 2. Alternatively, an attraction part 331 is provided on the bottom of the main body 2 near the side of the split part 3, and an electromagnetic attraction mechanism 21 is provided on the bottom of the split part 3 near the side of the main body 2. The sub-instrument panel 100 has a separated state and an engaged state. In the separated state, the main body 2 and the split part 3 are separated from each other; in the engaged state, the main body 2 and the split part 3 are attracted to each other. The attraction or deactivation of the electromagnetic attraction mechanism 21 with the attraction part 331 is achieved by controlling the current of the electromagnetic attraction mechanism 21. For example, it can be set that the electromagnetic attraction mechanism 21 is attracted to the attraction part 331 when energized and deactivated when de-energized.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, a locking part 31 is provided on the side of the split part 3 near the track 1. In the separated state, the split part 3 is fixed to the track 1 by the locking part 31. The locking part 31 is used to lock the split part 3 on the track 1. The locking part 31 can lock the split part 3, thereby limiting the split part 3 so that the split part 3 can stay at the position that needs to be stayed. Moreover, by locking the split part 3, the split part 3 can remain stationary when the main body 2 moves, which facilitates the separation of the split part 3 and the main body 2.

[0041] By locking the split part 3 with the locking part 31, the split part 3 can be kept stationary when the main body 2 moves, and the main body 2 can be moved independently, which facilitates the separation of the split part 3 and the main body 2 and meets the usage needs of different passengers.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the locking part 31 includes components along the vertical direction of the vehicle (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The locking pin 311 (movable in the vertical direction) is shown. The track 1 has a locking hole 11. The locking pin 311 is configured such that when in the separated state, it is inserted into the locking hole 11, at which point the split part 3 can be locked in the locking hole 11; when in the engaged state, it moves upward to disengage from the locking hole 11, and the split part 3 can move together with the main body 2. The locking and disengaging of the split part 3 from the track 1 can be achieved relatively easily using the locking pin 311, which can relatively easily meet the usage needs of different passengers.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the locking pin 311 is an electromagnetic locking pin. In the engaged state, the electromagnetic locking pin moves upward via an electrical signal to disengage from the locking hole 11. When the electromagnetic attraction mechanism 21 engages with the attraction part 331, it triggers an electrical signal to move the electromagnetic locking pin, thereby switching between locked and unlocked states. The locking of the split part 3 is relatively simple and reliable.

[0044] Specifically, the bottom of the split base frame 33 of the split part 3 is provided with an electromagnetic locking pin, and the suction part 331 is located at the bottom of the split base frame 33. The suction and disconnection with the suction part 331 are achieved by controlling the current of the electromagnetic suction mechanism 21. The suction part 331 is specifically a plate-like structure to increase the suction area. The split base frame 33 is designed not to move independently; it needs to be suctioned with the main base frame 23 to move as a whole. When the main base frame 23 is disconnected from the split base frame 33, the main base frame 23 moves independently, and the split base frame 33 is locked at the locking hole 11. The implementation method is as follows: When the electromagnetic attraction mechanism 21 is energized, the main body base frame 23 and the split base frame 33 are magnetically connected to each other as one unit. At this time, the control electromagnetic locking pin is separated from the locking hole 11 to unlock the split base frame 33, and the main body 2 and the split part 3 can move forward and backward as a whole.

[0045] When the electromagnetic attraction mechanism 21 is not powered, there is no magnetic attraction. At this time, the electromagnetic locking pin extends and locks the position with the locking hole 11. The main body base frame 23 only drives the main body part 2 to move, and the split part 3 is fixed in position by the electromagnetic locking pin.

[0046] In other embodiments, the split base frame 33 can also be moved independently by setting a motion drive mechanism for the split part 3 between the split part 3 and the track 1.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple locking holes 11, which are spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. This allows the split part 3 to be locked at different positions in the front-rear direction, enabling passengers to select different locking positions according to their needs and enhancing their user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the main body 2 is located on the rear side of the sub-part 3 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The sub-dashboard 100 also includes a table assembly 4, which is rotatably mounted on the main body 2. The axis of rotation of the table assembly 4 extends along the vertical direction of the vehicle. It is understandable that, considering the gap between the front seats of the vehicle, the longitudinal dimension is relatively large. During use, when the main body 2 moves between the front and rear seats, the table assembly 4 can rotate so that the length direction of the table assembly 4 rotates to the left-right direction of the vehicle (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown in the left and right directions, the table assembly 4 is designed to facilitate convenient use by multiple passengers in the rear seats located on the left and right sides of the vehicle, thus meeting the needs of multiple passengers.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the table assembly 4 includes a main board 41 and a wing plate 42. The main board 41 is located above the main body 2, and the wing plate 42 is located on at least one side of the main board 41. One end of the wing plate 42 is rotatably connected to the main board 41. The wing plate 42 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the wing plate 42 is rotated to be parallel to the main board 41 so that the wing plate 42 and the main board 41 are spliced ​​together, which can increase the usable area of ​​the table assembly 4 and facilitate passengers to work, place items, etc. In the second state, the wing plate 42 is rotated to be angled to the main board 41 so that at least part of the wing plate 42 is located below the main board 41. This can relatively reduce the space occupied by the table assembly 4 in the vehicle interior without reducing the usable area of ​​the table assembly 4, improve the cleanliness of the vehicle interior, and facilitate the movement of passengers.

[0050] Optionally, a first button 411 is provided at the end of the mainboard 41 facing the rear seat along its length. When the first button 411 is pressed, the wing plate 42 in the second state changes to the first state. When the wing plate 42 needs to change from the first state to the second state, the wing plate 42 and the mainboard 41 can be driven to rotate relative to each other at an angle until the wing plate 42 and the mainboard 41 are perpendicular to each other.

[0051] In some embodiments, the tabletop assembly 4 includes a rotating platform 6, which has a first part 61 and a second part 62 arranged in a vertical direction. The second part 62 is located below the first part 61, and the first part 61 is rotatable relative to the second part 62. The first part 61 is connected to the main board 41 and rotates synchronously.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a connecting part 43 is provided between the wing plate 42 and the main plate 41. The connecting part 43 is a flexible component used to connect the main plate 41 and the wing plate 42. The flexible component can deform to adapt to the angular deviation of the main plate 41 and the wing plate 42 during movement, ensuring smooth transmission of movement.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, at least one side of the connecting part 43 in the thickness direction is provided with a plurality of clearance grooves 431. The clearance grooves 431 extend along the rotation axis of the wing plate 42. The plurality of clearance grooves 431 are spaced apart along the direction from the main plate 41 to the wing plate 42. When the wing plate 42 rotates, the clearance grooves 431 can make the connecting part 43 deform better, so as to realize the rotation of the wing plate 42 better.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a connecting layer 44 is provided between the wing plate 42 and the main plate 41. The connecting layer 44 is located on one side of the connecting portion 43 in the thickness direction. In the first state, the connecting layer 44 connects the upper end face of the main plate 41 and the upper end face of the wing plate 42. The connecting layer 44 can cover the gap between the main plate 41 and the wing plate 42, so that the connection position between the wing plate 42 and the main plate 41 is relatively flat in the first state, and the table assembly 4 is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the auxiliary instrument panel 100 also includes a drive motor 5 and a linkage assembly 51. The drive motor 5 is connected to the main board 41. One end of the linkage assembly 51 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 5, and the other end is rotatably connected to the wing plate 42, used to drive the wing plate 42 to switch between a first state and a second state. It can be understood that the linkage assembly 51 includes a rocker arm 511 and a connecting rod 512. The first end of the rocker arm 511 is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 5, and the second end of the rocker arm 511 is rotatably connected to the first end of the connecting rod 512. The second end of the connecting rod 512 is rotatably connected to the wing plate 42, satisfying the rotational freedom of the linkage assembly 51. When the wing plate 42 rotates, the output shaft of the drive motor 5 rotates, driving the rocker arm 511 to rotate. The rocker arm 511 drives the connecting rod 512 to rotate, and the connecting rod 512 drives the wing plate 42 to rotate, realizing the rotation of the wing plate 42. The structure is relatively simple and reliable.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a table frame 45 is provided on the lower side of the main board 41, and the drive motor 5 is located on the table frame 45. By setting the table frame 45, the table assembly 4 can be disassembled into multiple parts, which facilitates the processing of the table assembly 4.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sub-dashboard 100 also includes a lifting drive assembly 7, one end of which is connected to the table assembly 4. The lifting drive assembly 7 is used to drive the table assembly 4 to move vertically. This allows the table assembly 4 to be raised or lowered according to the occupant's usage needs, thus meeting the occupant's different height requirements for the table assembly 4.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the lifting drive assembly 7 includes a drive component and a lifting push rod 71. The drive component is connected to the main body 2. The drive component drives the lifting push rod 71 to move up and down. The lifting push rod 71 is connected to the main body 2 and its upper end is connected to the table assembly 4.

[0059] Specifically, the main board 41 is connected to the lifting push rod 71. The main board 41 has an upward state and a flat state. In the upward state, the main board 41 moves upward and is spaced apart from the upper surface of the main body 2. In the flat state, the main board 41 is in contact with the upper surface of the main body 2. The lifting push rod 71 can control the raising and lowering of the main board 41 to meet the different height requirements of the occupants for the table assembly 4.

[0060] It should be noted that the driving component can be pneumatically driven or electrically driven, etc. The main body 2 has a mounting cavity 24, and an upper frame 25 is provided in the mounting cavity 24. The upper frame 25 is located on the side wall of the mounting cavity 24 and is located near the opening of the mounting cavity 24. The upper frame 25 has a mounting hole. The lifting push rod 71 includes a fixing part 711 and a lifting part 712. One end of the fixing part 711 in the axial direction is connected to the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 24, and the other end passes through the mounting hole. The lifting part 712 is movably inserted into the fixing part 711 in the vertical direction. The driving component drives the lifting part 712 to move. The driving method is relatively simple and reliable.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the main body 2 is provided with a guide hole 252, and the lifting drive assembly 7 also includes a guide rod 72. One end of the guide rod 72 in the axial direction is connected to the table assembly 4, and the other end of the guide rod 72 movably passes through the guide hole 252 in the vertical direction of the vehicle. Specifically, the upper frame 25 is provided with a bushing 251, and the guide hole 252 is provided on the bushing 251. There can be multiple guide rods 72, and all multiple guide rods 72 are located on the radial outer side of the lifting rod. They can guide the movement of the upper table assembly 4 during the lifting and lowering process of the lifting push rod 71, making the movement of the lifting push rod 71 more reliable.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the lifting drive assembly 7 also includes a fixing rod 26, which connects the upper frame 25 and the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 24, making the structure of the upper frame 25 more reliable. Multiple fixing rods 26 are provided radially outward of the lifting push rod 71 and spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the lifting push rod 71. Guide rods 72 are provided between adjacent fixing rods 26, forming a relatively stable cage structure. The structure of the lifting drive assembly 7 is more stable and reliable, preventing the lifting push rod 71 from becoming a cantilever structure and reducing the problem of the main board 41 easily tilting under stress.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figures 8-11As shown, the split section 3 is located on the front side of the main body 2 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The sub-dashboard 100 also includes a cup holder assembly 8, which is located on the split section 3. The cup holder assembly 8 includes an upper bracket 81 and a lower bracket 82. The lower bracket 82 has a placement plate 821, and the upper bracket 81 has a clearance hole 812 for the cup. The cup holder passes through the clearance hole 812 and is placed on the placement plate 821. The front passenger's water cup can be placed on the cup holder assembly 8, and the placement plate 821 supports the bottom of the water cup, meeting the usage needs of the front passenger.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 8-11 As shown, the cup holder assembly 8 has a retracted state and an unfolded state. When the upper bracket 81 and the lower bracket 82 are engaged, the cup holder assembly 8 is in the retracted state, which can serve the function of storing water cups while relatively reducing the space occupied by the sub-dashboard 100 in the vehicle interior and improving the tidiness of the vehicle interior. When the upper bracket 81 and the lower bracket 82 are disengaged, the cup holder assembly 8 is in the unfolded state, which can realize the function of placing items in the cup holder assembly 8, making it convenient for passengers to place items.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 8-11 As shown, a boss 22 is provided on one end face of the main body 2 along the front-rear direction, and a groove 32 is provided on the split part 3. This avoids the overall shape of the main body 2 and the split part 3 being misaligned, increasing the aesthetics of the sub-dashboard 100. The cup holder assembly 8 is located in the groove 32. When the main body 2 and the split part 3 are in the engaged state, the boss 22 is located in the groove 32, and the cup holder assembly 8 is in a retracted state. This allows the cup holder assembly 8 to be retracted when the main body 2 and the split part 3 are engaged, reducing the engagement gap between the main body 2 and the split part 3 and preventing the cup holder assembly 8 from being damaged when the main body 2 and the split part 3 are engaged.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 8-11 As shown, the upper bracket 81 is rotatably connected to the split part 3, and the lower bracket 82 is rotatably connected to the split part 3. In the stored state, both the upper bracket 81 and the lower bracket 82 extend in the vertical direction. Along the direction from the main body 2 to the split part 3, the upper bracket 81 and the lower bracket 82 are arranged in sequence. The upper bracket 81 and the lower bracket 82 are folded into a shape where the thickness direction is the front-to-back direction. The cup holder assembly 8 has a smaller size in the front-to-back direction, which reduces the fitting gap between the main body 2 and the split part 3 and avoids the cup holder assembly 8 being damaged when the main body 2 and the split part 3 are fitted together. In the unfolded state, the upper bracket 81 is located on the upper side of the lower bracket 82 and is spaced apart from the lower bracket 82. The cup can be placed inside the cup holder assembly 8 to realize the function of the cup holder assembly 8.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-11As shown, the cup holder assembly 8 also includes a cup holder connecting rod 83, which is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the groove 32 and extends in the vertical direction. The upper bracket 81 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the cup holder connecting rod 83, and the lower bracket 82 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the cup holder connecting rod 83. The upper end of the cup holder connecting rod 83 is provided with a support part. When the upper bracket 81 is in the unfolded state, the lower end of the upper bracket has a limit groove. In the unfolded state, the limit groove and the support part abut against each other.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 8-11 As shown, the cup holder assembly 8 also includes a limiting part 85, which is movably disposed on the split part 3. The upper bracket 81 is provided with a mating part 811, and the limiting part 85 is disposed on the side of the mating part 811 facing the rotation direction of the upper bracket 81 from the stored state to the unfolded state. In the stored state, the limiting part 85 moves toward the mating part 811 to stop the mating part 811. In the unfolded state, the limiting part 85 separates from the mating part 811.

[0069] Specifically, the limiting part 85 and the mating part 811 act as a stop to prevent the upper bracket 81 from transitioning from a retracted state to an unfolded state, thus ensuring a more reliable retracted state and preventing damage to the cup holder assembly 8 when the main body 2 and the separate part 3 are engaged. In the folded state, the limiting part 85 extends to limit the mating part 811 on the upper bracket 81, thereby locking the cup holder assembly 8. The upper bracket 81 has a tendency to rotate clockwise, and the limiting part 85 prevents the upper bracket 81 from rotating clockwise.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 8-11 As shown, the cup holder assembly 8 also includes a first torsion spring 84, which is located at the rotatable connection between the lower bracket 82 and the split part 3. It is used to drive the lower bracket 82 to switch from a retracted state to an unfolded state. It can be understood that in the retracted state, the first torsion spring 84 is compressed, and the limiting part 85 and the mating part 811 stop, so the cup holder assembly 8 remains in the retracted state. After the limiting part 85 and the mating part 811 disengage, the first torsion spring 84 drives the lower bracket 82 to switch from a retracted state to an unfolded state, and the lower bracket 82 drives the upper bracket 81 to switch from a retracted state to an unfolded state, thereby realizing the automatic unfolding of the cup holder assembly 8.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first torsion spring 84 is disposed on the cup holder connecting rod 83. In other embodiments, the cup holder assembly 8 further includes a second torsion spring disposed on the upper bracket 81, which is used to drive the upper bracket 81 to switch from a retracted state to an unfolded state. It can be understood that in the retracted state, the second torsion spring is compressed, the limiting part 85 and the cooperating part 811 stop, and the cup holder assembly 8 remains in the retracted state. After the limiting part 85 and the cooperating part 811 disengage, the first torsion spring 84 drives the lower bracket 82 to switch from a retracted state to an unfolded state, and the second torsion spring drives the upper bracket 81 to switch from a retracted state to an unfolded state, thereby realizing the automatic unfolding of the cup holder assembly 8.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cup holder assembly 8 further includes a first sensor. The first sensor is used to obtain the position of the upper bracket 81 or the lower bracket 82 to confirm that the cup holder assembly 8 is in a retracted state or an unfolded state. The main body 2 is configured such that it cannot be switched from a separated state to an engaged state when the cup holder assembly 8 is in the unfolded state. By providing the first sensor, the lower bracket 82 squeezes the first sensor and outputs a position signal when it rotates, which can prevent the main body 2 from moving towards the split part 3 when the cup holder assembly 8 is in the unfolded state, and prevent damage to the cup holder assembly 8 when the main body 2 and the split part 3 are engaged.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the motion drive component 9 may employ a mechanical transmission method, including a belt drive mechanism disposed on the track 1. The main body 2 has a connecting part connected to the belt drive mechanism. The belt is driven by a pulley to move the belt, thereby driving the connecting part to move, and thus driving the main body 2 to move. In other embodiments, the motion drive component 9 may also employ an electromagnetic drive method, including a first electromagnetic component and a second electromagnetic component. The first electromagnetic component is disposed on the track 1, and the second electromagnetic component is disposed on the main body 2. The first electromagnetic component drives the main body 2 to move on the track 1 through the second electromagnetic component.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the main body 2 further includes an electric push rod and a water dispenser arm. The electric push rod and the water dispenser arm are fixedly connected. The electric push rod drives the water dispenser arm to move in the front-back direction. When the occupant needs to use the water dispenser, the water dispenser arm moves to protrude from the outer wall of the main body 2 to facilitate the occupant to take water. When the occupant does not need to use the water dispenser, the water dispenser arm retracts to avoid the water dispenser arm affecting the movement of the occupant in the occupant cabin.

[0075] Furthermore, the main body 2 also has a second sensor. When the water dispenser's water arm retracts, the second sensor is squeezed and a position signal is output, which facilitates the control system to obtain the position of the water dispenser's water arm.

[0076] In some embodiments, the sub-dashboard 100 also includes a water dispenser heating module for heating drinking water.

[0077] In some embodiments, a third sensor is provided on the table frame 45. The third sensor is used to obtain the position of the wing plate 42 to confirm that the wing plate 42 is in a first state or a second state.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the motherboard 41 is provided with a display screen 412, which is communicatively connected to the first sensor, the second sensor and the third sensor respectively. The display screen 412 is used to indicate whether the cup holder assembly 8 is in a retracted state or an unfolded state, the position of the water dispenser arm, the wing plate 42 is in a first state or a second state, etc., so that the occupants can obtain the status of the sub-dashboard 100.

[0079] In some embodiments, the body portion 2 further includes a storage box 27, so that the body portion 2 has a storage function.
