Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure pertains to the field of mechanical engineering, and particularly to the field of automotive engineering. This disclosure relates to an internal component comprising a component base having a base air guiding system and a top portion having a top portion air guiding system, wherein the top portion is configured to be linearly displaceable relative to the component base in a longitudinal direction. The internal component may be configured as a center console. Background Technology

[0002] As vehicle technologies enable autonomous driving, there is a need to rethink vehicle interior design principles. It is anticipated that as vehicles increasingly assume more of the driver's responsibilities, occupants will want to engage in other activities within the vehicle, rather than simply remaining seated in a position suitable for driving. To achieve this, vehicles must be equipped with seats that allow for greater mobility. However, this also necessitates a rethinking of the arrangement of air vents for the vehicle's air supply.

[0003] In the prior art, DE 10 2017 200 920 A1 discloses: for the purpose of improving the comfort of occupants in a motor vehicle, a center console capable of longitudinal movement is provided, the center console being characterized by: a fixed portion attached to the floor of the motor vehicle and having at least one vent; and a movable portion spaced apart from the floor, the movable portion being displaceably and operably connected to the fixed portion.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention aims to achieve an improved air distribution in a vehicle compared to existing technologies. According to the invention, this objective is achieved by an interior component as described in claim 1. The interior component as described in claim 1 may, for example, be a center console. Possible additional embodiments and improvements are derived from the dependent claims, the following description, and the accompanying drawings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] An internal component is proposed comprising: a component base that is anchorable within a vehicle interior and has a support surface; and a top portion disposed on the support surface of the component base, the top portion being configured to be linearly displaced relative to the component base along the support surface in a longitudinal direction.

[0006] Furthermore, the component base includes a base air guiding system having an air outlet opening disposed in the support surface. Additionally, the top portion includes a top portion air guiding system having an air inlet opening disposed in the base surface of the top portion oriented towards the support surface. Furthermore, the air outlet opening and the air inlet opening are in fluid communication, or the fluid communication between the air outlet opening and the air inlet opening is interrupted, depending on the relative position of the top portion along the longitudinal direction relative to the component base.

[0007] This invention is based on the understanding that in autonomous motor vehicles, compared to current vehicles, future models may allow for further rearward movement of the driver and / or passenger seats. If the driver and / or passenger seats are moved rearward to the point where no vehicle occupants can sit on the rear bench seat, then there will no longer be a need to supply air in the rear region of the vehicle. The described internal components make it possible to interrupt airflow between the top portion and the component base by moving the top portion relative to the component base according to their relative position. This makes it possible, for example, to use airflow more efficiently in other areas of the vehicle.

[0008] The optional features of the internal components are described below.

[0009] For some relative positions of the top portion relative to the base of the component, where the fluid communication between the air outlet opening and the air inlet opening is interrupted, preferably at all relative positions, the air outlet opening can be closed by the base surface.

[0010] In addition, the air outlet opening may have an extension along the longitudinal direction that is greater than the longitudinal extension of the air inlet opening.

[0011] In addition, in one embodiment, the base air guiding system may include a supply channel disposed in the base of the component, the supply channel leading to an air outlet opening. In this embodiment, the supply channel may be further widened in a funnel shape toward the air outlet opening in the region where the supply channel leads to the air outlet opening.

[0012] Furthermore, the top portion can be displaced in the longitudinal direction relative to the component base between a first end position and a second end position. Additionally, in the first end position, fluid communication between the air outlet and the air inlet can be interrupted, and / or in the second end position, the air outlet can be in fluid communication with the air inlet.

[0013] In addition, the top portion air guiding system may include an internal air outlet opening, which may be located on a surface of the top portion opposite to the base surface and may be in fluid communication with an air inlet opening. The internal air outlet opening may be, for example, a ventilation nozzle.

[0014] In one embodiment, the air inlet opening may also be a first air inlet opening, and the additional air guiding system may include a second air inlet opening disposed in the base surface and spaced apart from the first air inlet opening in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second air inlet opening may be in fluid communication with the base air guiding system at at least one relative position where fluid communication between the air outlet opening and the first air inlet opening is interrupted relative to the base of the component.

[0015] In a variation of this embodiment (where the top portion is also capable of shifting between a first end position and a second end position), in the first end position, the second air inlet opening is in fluid communication with the base air guiding system, and / or for at least one relative position between the first end position and the second end position, the fluid connection between the first air inlet opening and the base air guiding system and the fluid connection between the second air inlet opening and the base air guiding system can be interrupted.

[0016] In another variation of the described embodiment, (i) fluid communication between the second air inlet opening and the base air guiding system may be achieved via an air outlet opening, or (ii) the air outlet opening may be a first air outlet opening, and the base air guiding system may include a second air outlet opening spaced apart from the first air outlet opening in the longitudinal direction in the support surface, and fluid communication between the second air inlet opening and the base air guiding system may be achieved via the second air outlet opening.

[0017] Furthermore, in the first alternative (i) of the variant described above, in the at least one relative position where there is no fluid communication with either the first air inlet opening or the second air inlet opening, the air outlet opening may be closed by the base surface; or in the second alternative (ii), in the at least one relative position where there is no fluid communication with either the corresponding first air inlet opening or the second air inlet opening, the first air outlet opening and / or the second air outlet opening may be closed by the base surface.

[0018] Furthermore, in the second alternative (ii), the base air guiding system may have a main air inlet opening arranged in the base of the component, which is in fluid communication with a first air outlet opening and a second air outlet opening via air channel branches.

[0019] Furthermore, in a variation of the embodiment having a second air inlet opening, the top portion air guiding system may include an internal air outlet opening disposed on the side of the top portion opposite the base surface and in fluid communication with the second air inlet opening. In embodiments that already include an internal air outlet opening in fluid communication with a first air inlet opening, the internal air outlet opening in fluid communication with the first air inlet opening may also be referred to as the first internal air outlet opening, and the internal air outlet opening in fluid communication with the second air inlet opening may also be referred to as the second internal air outlet opening. The internal air outlet opening may be, for example, a ventilation nozzle.

[0020] In addition, the second internal air outlet can be closed using a hinged cover attached to the top portion. Furthermore, the hinged cover may include control elements. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following is for reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 To describe the first implementation scheme of the internal components.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view along the longitudinal extent of an interior component 100 for use inside a vehicle, the interior component including a component base 110 and a top portion 150 movable relative to the component base 110, wherein... Figure 1 In the middle, the top portion 150 is in a first position relative to the component base 110. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the internal component 100, wherein... Figure 2 In the middle, the top portion 150 is in a second position relative to the component base 150.

[0024] Figure 1 The component base 110 of the shown internal component 100 includes a support surface 111. Furthermore, with respect to the internal component 100, a top portion 150 is disposed on the support surface 111 and is configured to be linearly displaced relative to the component base 110 along the support surface 111 in the longitudinal direction L. The longitudinal direction L refers to the longitudinal axis of the internal component 100, and is defined by… Figure 1 The arrow in the image indicates this.

[0025] The component base 110 of the internal component 100 includes a base air guiding system 120 having an air outlet opening 120.2 disposed in the support surface 111. Furthermore, the top portion 150 includes a top portion air guiding system 160 having an air inlet opening 160.2 disposed in the base surface 151 of the top portion 150 oriented toward the support surface 111.

[0026] The air outlet opening 120.2 is in fluid communication with the air inlet opening 160.2, or the fluid communication between the air outlet opening 120.2 and the air inlet opening 160.2 is interrupted, depending on the relative position of the top portion 150 along the longitudinal direction L relative to the component base 110.

[0027] As discussed at the beginning, it is anticipated that in autonomous vehicles, compared to current models, the driver and passenger seats will likely be able to move over a larger area between the dashboard and the rear seats. This larger area of ​​movable seats will alter the air supply requirements for vehicle occupants.

[0028] One challenge might be that air supply should only be provided to rear-seat passengers if they are actually seated in the rear seats—that is, only if the driver and front passenger seats are moved far enough toward the dashboard. This challenge can be overcome using internal components 100.

[0029] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The interior component 100 shown may be, for example, a center console, which can be attached to the vehicle interior via the base surface 114 of the component base 110. Furthermore, the interior component 100 may be oriented within the vehicle interior such that the front portion 112 of the component base 110 is oriented towards the vehicle's dashboard, and the rear portion 113 of the base component 110 is oriented towards the vehicle's rear bench seat. The top portion 150 may be, for example, a support surface such as an armrest, which the driver and front passenger can move relative to the component base 110 according to a set distance from the vehicle seat to the dashboard. Alternatively, for example, the top portion 150 may be electromechanically movable in parallel with electric adjustment of the vehicle seat position.

[0030] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the exemplary embodiment shown, the top portion 150 is displaceable relative to the component base 110 between a first end position and a second end position, wherein the position of the top portion 150 at the first end position is... Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the position of the top portion 150 at the second end position is... Figure 1 As shown in the diagram. The first end position is particularly advantageous when the driver's seat and / or passenger seat is moved very far toward the rear bench seat. The second end position of the top portion 150 is particularly advantageous when the driver's seat and / or passenger seat is moved very far toward the dashboard.

[0031] The top portion air guiding system 160 of the top portion 150 includes an internal air outlet 160.4 for supplying air to vehicle occupants in the rear bench seat. This outlet is disposed in a surface of the top portion 150 opposite to the base surface 151 and is in fluid communication with an air inlet 160.2 via an air passage 160.6, which also belongs to the top portion air guiding system 160. The internal air outlet 160.4 may be, for example, a ventilation nozzle.

[0032] like Figure 1As can be seen, by moving the top portion 150 to the second end position, fluid communication is established between the air outlet opening 120.2 and the air inlet opening 160.2. This allows air from the base air duct system 120 to be supplied to passengers in the rear bench seat. Conversely, as Figure 2 As shown, the fluid communication between the air outflow opening 120.2 and the air inflow opening 160.2 is interrupted, so that in the first end position, the air supply to the passengers on the rear bench seat is interrupted.

[0033] Additionally, regarding the internal component 100, for those relative locations of the top portion 150 relative to the component base 110 where fluid communication between the air outlet opening 120.2 and the air inlet opening 160.2 is interrupted, the air outlet opening is closed by the base surface 151. For this purpose, the air outlet opening 120.2 or the base surface 151 may have a rubber element that allows for an airtight seal. Alternatively, additional elements may be arranged in the base air guiding system 120 that allow for interruption of airflow to the air outlet opening 120. Reference will be made later. Figure 7 and Figure 8 An example to explain this.

[0034] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the extent of the air outlet opening 120.2 along the longitudinal direction L is greater than the extent of the air inlet opening 160.2 along the longitudinal direction L. This ensures that air is supplied to the internal air outlet opening 160.4 at various relative positions of the top portion 104, starting from the second end position. For this purpose, the base air guiding system 120 includes a supply channel 120.6 arranged in the component base 110 leading to the air outlet opening 120.2, and widening in a funnel shape toward the air outlet opening 120.2 in the region of the supply channel 120.6 leading to the air outlet opening 120.2.

[0035] The air outlet opening 120.2 is provided with a repositionable cover 120.2.1, which ensures that areas of the air outlet opening 120.2 not covered by the top portion 150 are closed by the cover 120.2.1. Otherwise, the airflow would follow the path of least resistance and exit from the large air outlet opening 120.2, rather than from the internal air outlet opening 160.4, which is intended as the air outlet. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cover 120.2.1 shown in the exemplary embodiment is configured to resemble a veil. Alternatively, the cover 120.2.1 may also be configured as, for example, a telescopic or bellows-like structure (such as a folding roof panel), a flexible film (which may optionally roll up and down), or a tightly woven fabric.

[0036] Air is supplied to the internal air outlet 160.4 through the base air guiding system 120 at the corresponding relative position between the top portion 150 and the component base 110. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base air guiding system 120 in the illustrated example includes a main air inlet opening 120.4, which is in fluid communication with an air outlet opening 120.2 via a supply passage 120.6. To generate air movement from the main air inlet opening 120.4 to the air outlet opening 120.2, a blower may be arranged in the supply passage 120.6. Alternatively, the air movement may be generated by an external device in fluid communication with the main air inlet opening 120.6.

[0037] The base 110 and top portion 150 of the component can be made of various materials, such as plastic, metal, wood or leather.

[0038] As already explained, if the driver's seat and / or the front passenger seat are pushed back to the point where it is no longer possible for anyone to sit in the rear, then there is no longer a need to supply air to the rear vehicle occupants. Furthermore, in this configuration, the air vents in the vehicle's dashboard are typically too far away to adequately supply air to the driver and passengers. See below for reference. Figures 3 to 6 An alternative exemplary embodiment of the internal components is described, which, even in this configuration, enables the supply of air to the driver and the front passenger.

[0039] Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the internal component 200 is shown, which depicts... Figure 1 and Figure 2 An alternative exemplary embodiment of the internal component 100, wherein the top portion 150 is in a second end position. Figure 4 It shows Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the internal component 200, with the top portion 150 at the center. Figure 5 It shows Figure 3 and Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of the internal component 200, wherein the top portion 150 is in the first end position. Figure 6 It shows Figures 3 to 5 A detailed partial sectional view of the hinge cover of the top portion 150 of the internal component 200.

[0040] Figures 3 to 6The internal component 200 shown includes all the features of the exemplary embodiment 100 previously described. However, with respect to the internal component 200, the air inlet opening 160.2 is a first air inlet opening 160.2 because the top portion air guiding system 160 also includes a second air inlet opening 160.12, which is spaced apart from the first air inlet opening 160.2 in the base surface 151 along the longitudinal direction L.

[0041] In addition, the air outlet 120.2 is also the first air outlet, because the base air guiding system 120 also includes a second air outlet 120.12, which is spaced apart from the first air outlet 120.2 in the longitudinal direction L in the support surface 111.

[0042] As explained in more detail with reference to the figures below, for at least one relative position where fluid communication between the first air outlet opening 120.2 and the first air inlet opening 160.2 is interrupted relative to the component base 110, the second air inlet opening 160.12 is in fluid communication with the base air guiding system 120 via the air outlet opening 120.12.

[0043] like Figure 3 As can be seen in the previously described exemplary embodiment, the first air outlet 120.2 is in fluid communication with the first air inlet 160.2, allowing air to be supplied to vehicle occupants in the rear bench seat via the internal air outlet 160.4, which is also referred to hereinafter as the first internal air outlet 160.4. However, in this relative position, the fluid communication between the second air inlet 160.12 and the base air guiding system 120 is interrupted.

[0044] If the top portion 150 is pushed back further... Figure 4 In the indicated location, the situation remains unchanged. Air can still be supplied to passengers in the rear bench seats via the internal air outlet 160.4. Fluid communication between the second air inlet 160.12 and the base air guiding system 120 remains interrupted. This is in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The arrow in the middle indicates this.

[0045] However, if the top portion 150 moves to the first end position, such as Figure 5As shown, the fluid communication between the first air outlet 120.2 and the first air inlet 160.2 is interrupted. Instead, a fluid communication is established between the second air outlet 120.12 and the second air inlet 160.12. This interrupts the air supply to the first internal air outlet 160.4. On the other hand, a fluid communication is established to the second internal air outlet 160.14, which is in fluid communication with the second air inlet 160.12. If the driver's seat or front passenger seat moves toward the rear bench seat to a point where it is no longer possible to supply air to the driver or front passenger solely through the internal air outlet in the dashboard, the air supply can be fully or partially taken over through the second internal air outlet 160.12.

[0046] In addition, from Figures 3 to 5 As can be seen, between the first end position and the second end position, the relative position of the top portion 150 with respect to the component base 110 has a certain range, within which the fluid communication between the first air inlet opening 160.2 and the base air guiding system 120, and the fluid communication between the second air inlet opening 160.12 and the base air guiding system 120 are both interrupted. These relative positions correspond to the positions of the driver's seat and the front passenger seat, in which it is not necessary to supply air to the vehicle occupants in the rear seats, and it is sufficient to supply air to the driver and the front passenger simultaneously via the internal air outlet opening of the dashboard.

[0047] Air is supplied to air inlet openings 160.2 and 160.12 at corresponding relative positions of the top portion 150 to the component base 110 via the base air guiding system 120. In addition to the main air inlet 120.4 and the supply channel 120.6 (hereinafter referred to as the first supply channel 120.6), the base air guiding system 120 of the internal component 200 also includes a second supply channel 120.8, which establishes fluid communication between the main air inlet 120.4 and the second air outlet opening 120.12. Air movement between the main air inlet 120.4 and the air outlet openings 120.2 and 120.12 can be achieved, for example, by an external blower in fluid communication with the main air inlet 120.4. Alternatively, the blower can also be integrated into the base air guiding system 120.

[0048] With regard to the internal component 200, air is supplied to the first internal air outlet 160.2 and the second internal air outlet 160.12 via different air outlet openings in the component base 110. Alternatively, it is also possible to establish fluid communication between the first internal air outlet 160.2 or the second internal air outlet 160.12 and the base air guiding system 120 using only one air outlet opening that is wide enough in the longitudinal direction, depending on the relative position between the top portion 150 and the component base 110.

[0049] The internal component 200 further includes a hinge cover 180 connected to the top portion 150, the hinge cover being in Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is especially clearly visible in the center. The second internal air outlet 160.14 can be closed with a hinged cover 180. Figures 3 to 6 In the exemplary embodiment shown, the hinge cover 180 includes a control element. In the example shown, the control element is a touchscreen. Figure 6 In the partial cross-sectional view, the internal air outlet opening 160.14, which is constructed as a ventilation nozzle, can also be seen.

[0050] The hinge cover 180 can completely close the second internal air outlet opening 160.14. Alternatively, the hinge cover 180 can also be an element with a primary visual function that allows airflow from the second internal air outlet opening to pass through even when folded down.

[0051] Similarly, in this exemplary embodiment, the area of ​​the air outlet opening 120.2 not covered by the top portion 150 can also be closed by a movable cover in the same manner as in the previously described embodiments, depending on the position of the top portion 150.

[0052] As in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the exemplary embodiment shown, also with respect to the internal component 200, the air outlet openings 120.2 and 120.12 of the base air guiding system 120 are closed by the base surface 151 in a relative position where fluid communication with the corresponding air inlet opening 160.2 or 160.12 is interrupted. Alternatively or additionally, additional elements in the base air guiding system 120 may also prevent airflow to the first air outlet opening or the second air outlet opening. Reference will be made below. Figure 7 and Figure 8 Explain how to achieve this.

[0053] Figure 7 A base component 110 of an alternative exemplary embodiment of the internal component 300 is shown, the base component having a base air guiding system 120 having a rotatably mounted deflection unit 120.21.

[0054] A rotatably mounted deflector unit 120.21 is arranged in a branch point 120.20, from which a first supply channel 120.6 leads to a first air outlet opening 120.2, and a second supply channel 120.16 leads to a second air outlet opening 120.12. The deflector unit 120.21 includes an air channel 120.22 that establishes fluid communication between the main air inlet opening 120.4 and the first supply channel 120.6, or between the main air inlet opening 120.4 and the second supply channel 120.16, depending on the rotational position of the deflector unit 120.21.

[0055] Figure 8 A base component 110 of another alternative exemplary embodiment of the internal component 400 is shown, the base component's air guiding system 120 having two closing baffles 120.9, 120.19.

[0056] A shut-off baffle 120.9 is arranged in the first supply channel 120.6, and a shut-off baffle 120.19 is arranged in the second supply channel 120.16. These shut-off baffles close the corresponding supply channels in the closed state or allow air movement in the open state. The shut-off baffles 120.9 and 120.19 can be opened or closed depending on which air outlet opening 120.2 or 120.12 will be supplied with air.

[0057] The closing baffles 120.9, 120.19 and the deflection unit 120.21 can be adjusted, for example, mechanically or electromechanically, depending on the relative position of the top portion 150 with respect to the component base 110.

[0058] In summary, this disclosure describes an interior component (100) for use in a vehicle interior, preferably a center console, the interior component comprising: a component base (110) anchorable within the vehicle interior and having a support surface (111); and a top portion (150) disposed on the support surface (111) of the component base (110), the top portion being configured to be linearly displaced relative to the component base (110) along the support surface (111) in a longitudinal direction (L). Furthermore, the component base (110) includes a base air guide system (120) having an air outlet opening (120.2) disposed in the support surface (111), and the top portion (150) includes a top portion air guide system (160) having an air inlet opening (160.2) disposed in a base surface (151) of the top portion (150) oriented toward the support surface (111). Furthermore, the air outlet opening (120.2) is in fluid communication with the air inlet opening (160.2), or the fluid communication between the air outlet opening (120.2) and the air inlet opening (160.2) is interrupted, depending on the relative position of the top portion (150) along the longitudinal direction (L) relative to the component base (110).
