The first storage compartment, main driver's control panel, and main driver's display panel are integrated into a single left-side structure, with clear functional zoning and high integration, simplifying assembly and improving space utilization. The control panel, the left-side structure of the driver's island, and the driver's display panel together form an island-shaped structure surrounding the driver's seat. This design distributes the control components within easy reach of the driver, allowing for convenient and accurate operation from a seated or semi-reclining position without requiring significant arm raising or turning. Even in bumpy conditions, stable and accurate control is maintained, reducing the probability of misoperation and improving driving safety and ease of operation. The island-shaped layout optimizes ergonomics, allowing the driver to maintain a more comfortable and relaxed posture, effectively alleviating fatigue caused by long-duration, long-range driving, and better meeting the needs of extended operations in polar inland regions.
[0016] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the vehicle, by incorporating the aforementioned vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions, directly inherits all the technical advantages of the vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions, such as its wraparound island-style control, low-fatigue and comfortable seating position, high visibility, large-capacity storage, and precise operation on bumpy roads. This perfectly adapts to the complex road conditions, long-range, and long-duration operational requirements of polar inland areas. The vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions is integrated with the vehicle as a whole, resulting in higher structural stability and reliability. It can maintain stable operation under harsh conditions of low temperatures and severe bumps in the polar environment, significantly improving the vehicle's operational safety and durability in polar environments. The wraparound control layout and comfortable human-machine interface of the vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions significantly reduce driver fatigue, extend continuous safe operating time, and improve the efficiency of polar mission execution compared to conventional off-road vehicles and truck-layout vehicles. The vehicle retains a complete dual-seat layout and large-capacity storage space, which can meet the needs of polar scientific expeditions for the main and co-driver to work together, carry a large amount of supplies, tools, drinking water, food and scientific research equipment, and expand the vehicle's mission adaptability and endurance in polar environments.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a first aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions, comprising: The front compartment of the vehicle body has a driver's seat 100 and a passenger's seat 102 arranged at lateral intervals along the vehicle's side. The driver's seat 104 is installed on the driver's seat platform 100; The passenger seat 106 is installed on the passenger seat support 102; The driving island 108 is located in the front compartment of the vehicle body. The driving island 108 runs through the front compartment of the vehicle body laterally and covers the corresponding areas of the driver's seat 100 and the passenger seat 102. The driving island 108 is fixedly connected to the front bulkhead 109 of the front compartment of the vehicle body. The driving island 108 includes a first storage box 110, a driver's seat 112, a driver's seat display 114, a central instrument panel 116, and an operation panel 118. The first storage box 110, the driver's side control panel 112 and the driver's side display panel 114 are connected in sequence to form the left side structure of the driver's island 108. The central instrument panel 116 is located on the right side of the driver's side display panel 114. The control panel 118 is located on the left side of the central instrument panel 116. The control panel 118, the left side structure of the driver's island 108 and the driver's side display panel 114 form a surrounding structure and surround the driver's seat 104 to form an island-shaped structure.
[0029] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions features a driver's cab 100 and a co-driver's cab 102 arranged laterally at intervals, making the driver's and co-driver's areas independent of each other, clearly dividing the seating space, and ensuring that the driver and co-driver do not interfere with each other, thus improving the comfort of long-distance polar voyages. The driver's island 108 extends laterally through the front compartment of the vehicle and covers both the driver's and co-driver's areas, integrating instruments, controls, and storage functions into one compact and regular structure, facilitating vehicle layout and installation. The driver's island 108 is fixedly connected to the front bulkhead 109, providing high installation strength and stability, and is not easily loosened under the bumpy and vibrating conditions of polar terrain, ensuring the reliable operation of the control and display components. The first storage box 110, the driver's control panel 112, and the driver's display panel 114 are integrated into a single left-side structure, with clear functional zoning and high integration, which simplifies assembly and improves space utilization. The control panel 118, the left side structure of the driving island 108, and the driver's display 114 together form an island-shaped structure surrounding the driver's seat 104. This arrangement ensures that the control components are evenly distributed within the driver's reach, allowing for convenient and accurate operation from a seated or semi-reclining position without requiring significant hand raising or turning. Stable operation is maintained even in bumpy conditions, reducing the probability of misoperation and improving driving safety and ease of operation. The island-shaped layout optimizes ergonomics, allowing the driver to maintain a more comfortable and relaxed posture, effectively alleviating fatigue caused by long-duration, long-range driving, and better meeting the needs of long-term operations in polar inland regions.
[0030] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 4The first aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions. The front compartment of the vehicle body serves as the mounting base for the vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions. Inside the compartment, a main driver's platform 100 and a co-driver's platform 102 are arranged at intervals along the width direction (lateral direction) of the vehicle. The main driver's platform 100 and the co-driver's platform 102 are independent of each other and their positions are relatively fixed, forming a split arrangement structure of dual platforms.
[0031] The driver's seat 104 is mounted on the driver's platform 100 in a fixed or adjustable manner for the driver to sit in; the passenger seat 106 is mounted on the passenger platform 102 in a fixed or adjustable manner for the passenger to sit in.
[0032] The driving island 108 is located inside the front compartment of the vehicle body, extending laterally along the vehicle and running through the entire front area of the vehicle body. Its lateral coverage area covers both the front area corresponding to the driver's seat 100 and the front area corresponding to the passenger seat 102. The rear side of the driving island 108 is fixedly connected to the front bulkhead 109 of the front compartment of the vehicle body, forming a stable installation base.
[0033] The driving island 108 includes a first storage box 110, a driver's side control panel 112, a driver's side display panel 114, a central instrument panel 116, and an operation panel 118; wherein, the first storage box 110, the driver's side control panel 112, and the driver's side display panel 114 are connected in a horizontal sequence to form the left side structure of the driving island 108.
[0034] The central dashboard 116 is located to the right of the driver's side display 114, and the control panel 118 is located to the left of the central dashboard 116 and close to the driver's seat 104. The control panel 118, the left side structure of the driver's island 108, and the driver's side display 114 together form a wraparound space structure, which surrounds the driver's seat 104 and forms an island-shaped control area around the driver.
[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the driving island 108 further includes a passenger-side instrument panel 120 and a second storage box 122, wherein the second storage box 122 is connected to the passenger-side instrument panel 120 to form the right side structure of the driving island 108; The lower part of the driver's side display panel 114 and the middle instrument panel 116 are connected by a lower air vent cover 124. The passenger side instrument panel 120 and the middle instrument panel 116 are connected by a snap-fit to form the front panel structure of the driver's island 108.
[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the driving island 108 adopts a split modular assembly structure. In addition to the left side structure, the driver's display 114, and the central instrument panel 116, it is also provided with a passenger instrument panel 120 and a second storage box 122.
[0037] The second storage box 122 is a closed box structure, which is fixedly connected to the right end of the passenger-side instrument panel 120. The two are fixed together by a combination of screws and snaps, forming the right side structure of the driver's island 108.
[0038] The bottom of the driver's display panel 114 and the bottom of the middle instrument panel 116 are connected to a lower air vent cover 124. Multiple ventilation holes are evenly opened on the lower air vent cover 124 for warm air delivery and defogging operations in polar environments.
[0039] The left end of the passenger-side instrument panel 120 and the right end of the center instrument panel 116 are detachably connected by a snap-fit method that engages with a positioning groove. The driver-side display panel 114, the center instrument panel 116, and the passenger-side instrument panel 120 are sequentially spliced together to form the main structure of the front panel of the driver's island 108. The entire driver's island 108 is fixedly connected to the body-in-white frame of the front compartment of the vehicle by bolts.
[0040] This embodiment utilizes a modular combination structure with left and right split sections and a central connection to achieve functional zoning and maximize space utilization in the main and co-pilot areas. The split-and-connect structure facilitates rapid inspection and component replacement under polar conditions, solving the problem of inconvenient maintenance of integrated instrument panels. The lower air vent cover 124 is directly integrated into the bottom of the cockpit 108, which can quickly raise the temperature of the vehicle's cockpit used in complex polar conditions and eliminate fogging on the windshield in the low-temperature polar environment. The second storage box 122 is specifically used to store polar scientific research materials, maintenance tools, drinking water and food, meeting the storage needs of long-range voyages.
[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, only a vehicle main display screen 126 is provided on the driver's display panel 114, which is used to display the vehicle's driving information.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, the driver's display console 114 is a low-height platform structure, on which only a vehicle main display screen 126 is integrated and installed, without any physical buttons, levers or switches.
[0043] The vehicle's main display screen 126 is a high-definition LCD touchscreen used to display real-time core driving information such as vehicle speed, engine speed, fuel consumption, remaining battery power, real-time tire pressure of all six wheels, water temperature, and oil temperature. The screen display interface adopts a polar high-contrast mode. Because the snow surface reflects light strongly during the polar day, it is easy to cause snow blindness. Through the above settings, it is easy for the driver to clearly read the vehicle driving information in the above environment.
[0044] The driver's dashboard 114 has eliminated all buttons, reducing its overall height by more than 30% compared to traditional dashboards. The installation angle of the display screen matches the driver's sitting or semi-reclining posture, achieving an unobstructed view.
[0045] This embodiment retains only the main display screen, achieving an extremely low height design for the driver's area, significantly expanding the driver's forward field of vision and improving driving safety in complex polar road conditions; all operation buttons 140 are moved to the surrounding areas on both sides of the driving island 108, completely solving the defect of traditional dashboards obstructing the view.
[0046] This embodiment adopts a buttonless, low-view-obstruction design for the main display panel, allowing the screen to exclusively display core driving information. The interface is simple and intuitive, reducing the probability of misjudgment by the driver in bumpy road conditions and adapting to the needs of long-distance polar driving.
[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the operation panel 118 is provided with at least one of the following: a drive change button with a locking structure, an air conditioning adjustment knob, and a central air filling / draining operation button; The upper part of the control panel 118 is also equipped with a multi-function screen 128, which is used to display vehicle sensor information in real time.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the operation panel 118 is located on the left side of the central instrument panel 116, in front of the driver's seat, in a surrounding position. The panel integrates a drive change button (differential lock button) with a locking structure, an air conditioning adjustment knob, and a central inflation / deflation operation button. All buttons are large in size, highly tactile, and designed to prevent accidental activation. The drive change button is equipped with a mechanical locking sleeve to prevent accidental activation under extreme road conditions.
[0049] A multi-functional screen 128 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the control panel 118. This screen is a high-definition data screen used to display all vehicle sensor information in real time, such as engine water temperature, engine oil temperature, oil pressure, intake pressure, differential lock status, temperature of each motor, battery voltage, and suspension attitude.
[0050] In this embodiment, the high-frequency operation buttons 140 are concentrated in the area surrounding the driver's side, allowing for precise operation without the need for extensive arm extension. Stable operation is maintained even under severe polar road conditions, significantly reducing the rate of misoperation. The differential lock change button is specifically adapted to the differential lock switching requirements for mixed soft and hard snow conditions in polar regions.
[0051] The multi-functional screen 128 can simultaneously display all sensor information, meeting the needs of all-round status monitoring for long-range polar vehicles and realizing centralized display of all sensors.
[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the driver's control panel 112 is provided with at least one of the following: a vehicle winch button, a vehicle preheating system button, a vehicle light control button, and a cruise control lever.
[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the driver's control panel 112 is located on the left side of the driver's display panel 114, in a surrounding position that the driver's left hand can reach when it hangs down naturally. The control panel integrates vehicle winch control buttons (including two directional buttons for winch and release), vehicle preheating system buttons (dedicated to low temperature preheating of polar engines), vehicle lighting control buttons (including searchlights, work lights, low and high beams, and side marker lights), and cruise control lever.
[0054] All buttons and levers are enlarged, have a non-slip feel, and are designed to be freeze-proof. The button travel and rebound force have been optimized for polar low-temperature conditions, so they can be operated stably even when wearing heavy cold-weather gloves.
[0055] This embodiment concentrates the high-frequency functions on the left side in the area surrounding the driver's left hand, so that all controls can be completed with one hand without changing the sitting posture, which is suitable for a comfortable driving posture in polar regions, such as sitting or semi-reclining. The winch button and the preheating system button are dedicated functions for polar escape and low-temperature start-up.
[0056] The dedicated operating buttons 140 are designed for polar environments. Their wraparound layout allows the driver to maintain a relaxed posture during long-distance driving, significantly reducing fatigue in the lower back and shoulders and mitigating the risk of injury during long-distance polar voyages caused by the traditional upright sitting posture.
[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the driver's seat 104 and / or the passenger seat 106 include a base, a slide rail, a bottom support frame, a seat cushion, an angle adjustment mechanism, and a backrest assembly; The bottom support frame is connected to the slide rail by a topology-optimized subtractive material support, and the base and the topology-optimized subtractive material support are provided with a hollow subtractive material structure.
[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, the driver's seat 104 and the passenger seat 106 are both lightweight seats specifically designed for polar regions, each including a base, a long-travel slide rail, a bottom support frame, a seat cushion, an angle-adjusting connecting mechanism, a backrest assembly, an angle-adjustable armrest, and a multi-directional headrest.
[0059] The bottom support frame is fixedly connected to the large-stroke slide rail through a topology-optimized subtractive support. Both the top surface of the base and the body of the topology-optimized subtractive support have large-area hollow weight-reduction holes and hollow groove structures, which maximizes the material reduction design while meeting the vehicle's collision strength and tensile strength requirements.
[0060] The backrest assembly allows for a large 110° adjustment of the backrest angle, creating a comfortable driving posture that is close to lying down or semi-reclining, which is suitable for the seating space needs of drivers wearing heavy polar cold-weather clothing.
[0061] This embodiment reduces the weight of the seat assembly by more than 30% through topology optimization and hollow subtractive structure, significantly reducing the sprung mass of the entire vehicle and meeting the low ground pressure requirements of polar soft snow conditions.
[0062] The large-angle backrest adjustment allows for a comfortable sitting or semi-reclining posture, completely solving the problem of lumbar injury and fatigue caused by the traditional upright sitting posture in trucks during long journeys and severe bumps in polar regions, thus meeting the needs of comfortable driving in polar regions.
[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the side of the angle adjustment connection mechanism integrates a lower seat belt webbing anchor point 130 and a seat belt buckle assembly; The backrest assembly has a seat belt high guide ring 132 at its frame. The seat belt high guide ring 132, the seat belt lower webbing anchor point 130, and the seat belt buckle assembly constitute a three-point seat belt follow restraint system.
[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, the seat angle adjustment connection mechanism integrates the lower seat belt webbing anchor point 130 and the seat belt buckle assembly (lower locking mechanism) on both the left and right sides, eliminating the need for installation on the B-pillar of the vehicle body.
[0065] The upper frame of the backrest assembly has a reinforced high-position guide ring 132 (shoulder anchor point) integrally stamped on the left and right sides. The high-position guide ring, the lower webbing anchor point, and the seat belt buckle assembly together constitute a complete three-point seat belt follow-up restraint system. When the seat slides back and forth or the backrest angle is adjusted, all force points and guide points of the seat belt move synchronously with the seat to always maintain the optimal restraint angle.
[0066] This embodiment uses a fully integrated follow-up restraint system. No matter how the seat is adjusted, the seat belt always fits the human body and the force angle is optimal, which greatly improves the safety of occupants under the conditions of bumpy, rolling and impact in polar vehicles.
[0067] The anchor points are integrated into the seat frame, which is more suitable for the body structure of polar special vehicles without traditional B-pillars, and meets the stringent collision and rollover safety standards of the polar regions.
[0068] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a removable engine maintenance cover 142 is provided between the driver's cab 100 and the passenger cab 102.
[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the driver's side platform 100 and the passenger side platform 102 are arranged parallel to each other along the lateral direction of the vehicle, and an engine maintenance opening is provided in the middle area between the two platforms. A detachable engine maintenance cover 142 is installed at the opening.
[0070] The maintenance cover uses a combination of quick-release clips and screws for fastening, allowing for quick disassembly without special tools. The area under the cover directly corresponds to the inspection locations of core components such as the engine and transmission system, facilitating rapid maintenance, troubleshooting, and emergency repairs in polar field conditions.
[0071] This embodiment features a removable maintenance cover between the driver and co-pilot, enabling rapid maintenance in polar field conditions without lifting equipment, significantly improving the reliability and self-rescue capability of polar missions; the quick-release structure is simple and reliable, and is suitable for special working conditions such as low polar temperatures and operation with gloves.
[0072] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a top cabinet 134 is provided on the top of the front compartment of the vehicle body, and a vehicle audio system is installed in the top cabinet 134. An adjustable steering wheel 136 is fixedly installed on one side of the driver's cab 100 corresponding to the driver's island 108, and a vehicle accelerator and brake pedal 138 is also provided in front of the driver's cab 100.
[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, a top cabinet 134 is fixedly installed on the top of the front cabin, above the driving island 108. The interior of the top cabinet 134 is a closed storage space for storing small polar scientific instruments, personal belongings, food and drinking water. The vehicle audio system is embedded in the front side of the top cabinet 134, and the lower edge of the top cabinet 134 forms a sunshade structure to block the reflection of the instrument screen under the strong polar light.
[0074] An adjustable steering wheel 136 is fixedly installed on the front side of the driver's platform 100 and the left side of the driver's island 108. The steering wheel 136 can be adjusted in angle and fore-and-aft extension to accommodate a seated or semi-reclining driving posture. The accelerator pedal 138 and brake pedal 138 are located at the front end of the driver's platform 100 and below the steering wheel 136. The position and tilt of the pedals 138 are precisely matched with the seated or semi-reclining driving posture and the angle of the driver's seat 104 to form a polar-specific human-machine interface layout.
[0075] In this embodiment, the top cabinet 134 simultaneously provides storage, audio, and sunshade functions, specifically designed to meet the needs of long-distance polar voyages.
[0076] The adjustable-angle, telescopic steering wheel 136, together with the driver's seat 104 and the tilt-optimized pedals 138, forms a complete polar human-machine system. The driver can maintain a comfortable, almost reclining posture for operation, completely solving the fatigue and lumbar injury caused by the traditional upright sitting posture during long polar voyages.
[0077] A second aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle including a vehicle cockpit as described above for complex polar conditions.
[0078] The vehicle provided in the second aspect of the present invention is equipped with the vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions described in the first aspect of the present invention. The vehicle is a special polar vehicle adapted to the polar inland environment and capable of performing long-range, long-duration scientific research and operational tasks. The vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions is located in the front compartment of the vehicle body. The main driver's platform 100, co-driver's platform 102, driving island 108, main driver's seat 104, co-driver's seat 106, and other structures of the vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions are matched and assembled with the vehicle body, chassis, steering system, braking system, power system, and electrical system to form a complete polar operation vehicle.
[0079] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the vehicle, by incorporating the aforementioned vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions, directly inherits all the technical advantages of the vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions, such as its wraparound island-style control, low-fatigue and comfortable seating position, high visibility, large-capacity storage, and precise operation on bumpy roads. This perfectly adapts to the complex road conditions, long-range, and long-duration operational requirements of polar inland areas. The vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions is integrated with the vehicle as a whole, resulting in higher structural stability and reliability. It can maintain stable operation under harsh conditions of low temperatures and severe bumps in the polar environment, significantly improving the vehicle's operational safety and durability in polar environments. The wraparound control layout and comfortable human-machine interface of the vehicle cockpit for complex polar conditions significantly reduce driver fatigue, extend continuous safe operating time, and improve the efficiency of polar mission execution compared to conventional off-road vehicles and truck-layout vehicles. The vehicle retains a complete dual-seat layout and large-capacity storage space, which can meet the needs of polar scientific expeditions for the main and co-driver to work together, carry a large amount of supplies, tools, drinking water, food and scientific research equipment, and expand the vehicle's mission adaptability and endurance in polar environments.
