Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of suspension instruments, in particular to a vehicle-mounted suspension instrument and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle-mounted floating instrument is a display device installed inside the car, which is used to provide the driver with information about the vehicle's performance, driving status and related information. With the development of technology, the vehicle-mounted floating instrument has also been transformed from a mechanical instrument to a more intelligent and modern electronic instrument. With the popularization of electronic instruments, car manufacturers' requirements for vehicle-mounted floating electronic instruments are not only functional requirements, and with the upgrading of vehicle technology, the requirements for in-car electronic instruments are also higher. Especially for the appearance and thickness of the floating screen, modern cars need lighter, thinner and more beautiful instruments to enhance the overall beauty of the vehicle's interior and reduce the space occupied to install more other functional components.

[0003] In the prior art, a middle frame is often used to fix the display component, and a protective shell is often used to fix the circuit board on the back. A larger rear shell is then set outside the protective shell, and finally the rear shell and the middle frame are fixed to complete the instrument assembly. This method not only makes the entire instrument appear very thick, but also when the middle frame and the rear frame are fixed, black edges will be generated around the display component at the fixed position, affecting the appearance of the instrument and making the screen look very small. Moreover, fixing too many parts not only generates a lot of additional production costs, but the more parts there are, the more difficult it is to ensure the stability of the entire instrument. Utility Model Content

[0004] Through the analysis of the existing suspension instrument problems, the utility model proposes a vehicle-mounted suspension instrument and a vehicle. By fusing the larger rear shell of the suspension instrument and the middle panel of the suspension instrument, an integrated first shell is formed, and the shell is thinner than the traditional rear shell and middle panel. The main reason for the black edge is the connection part between the rear shell and the middle panel of the instrument, which is also solved by fusing into an integrated shell. The display assembly is installed by the first mounting groove set on the shell to replace the original installation of the middle frame, thereby reducing the display assembly to fit the edge of the shell more closely, replacing the original installation part, thereby reducing the black edge, and further solving the unsightly problem caused by the black edge. And the shell is installed with the protective shell of the rear fixed circuit board through the second mounting groove, eliminating the thick and large rear shell and reducing the thickness of the instrument. In addition, the production of a single integrated shell is lower in cost than the rear shell and the middle panel, the entire instrument is more cost-effective, and the parts connection between the instruments are reduced, making the instrument more stable as a whole.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A vehicle-mounted suspension instrument comprises a display assembly, a first housing, a circuit board assembly, and a second housing; the first housing is provided with a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove, and the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove are respectively arranged on two surfaces of the first housing;

[0009] In some embodiments, the display assembly is arranged at the front of the instrument, and the display assembly is attached to the inside of the first shell through the first mounting groove. The first mounting groove is arranged on the inner circumference of the first shell. Therefore, when installing, the edge of the display assembly is more closely attached to the shell than the traditional instrument, which greatly improves the visual perception and the overall aesthetics of the instrument. The second shell is fixed by directly installing the circuit board assembly through the second mounting groove, thereby replacing the traditional large rear shell that covers the entire rear of the instrument, reducing the thickness of the instrument, and the second shell can also be selected to be smaller than the rear shell and partially fixed to the rear of the instrument, saving space and reducing the thickness of the instrument. Compared with producing the rear shell and the middle frame, only the first shell is produced, which reduces the production cost, reduces the fixation between parts, and improves the stability of the instrument. At the same time, according to the needs of different car manufacturers, only the first shell can be changed so that the instrument has different appearance attributes.

[0010] In some embodiments, a first platform and a second platform are provided in the first installation groove, a through groove for connecting the wiring harness is dug in the middle of the first platform, and the second platform is arranged around the outer periphery of the first platform.

[0041] Embodiment 1:

[0042] In such Figure 1 to Figure 6In one embodiment of a vehicle-mounted floating instrument shown, a display assembly 100, a first housing 200, a circuit board assembly 300, and a second housing 400 are included; the first housing 200 is provided with a first mounting groove 210 and a second mounting groove 220, and the first mounting groove 210 and the second mounting groove 220 are respectively arranged on two surfaces of the first housing 200;

[0043] The display assembly 100 is fixedly disposed on the first mounting groove 210; the second housing 400 and the circuit board assembly 300 are fixedly disposed on the second mounting groove 220;

[0044] The circuit board assembly 300 is electrically connected to the display assembly 100 .

[0045] In other embodiments, the display assembly 100 is arranged at the front of the instrument for display and interaction with the user. The display assembly 100 is attached to the inside of the first shell 200 through the first mounting groove 210, and is specifically attached between the platform and the display assembly 100 through solid glue. The first mounting groove 210 is arranged on the inner circumference of the first shell 200, and the shape of the first mounting groove 210 is as close to the display assembly 100 as possible. Therefore, when installed, the edge of the display assembly 100 fits the shell more closely than the traditional instrument. When viewed from the front, the visual perception and the aesthetics of the overall instrument are greatly improved. The traditional way of fixing the circuit board to the rear of the middle frame with the rear shell is replaced by the second mounting groove 220 designed to be consistent with the shape of the circuit board surface. After installation, it is partially fixed with a second shell 400 with a smaller volume, so that the overall thickness is reduced, thereby replacing the larger rear shell. Compared with producing the rear shell and the middle frame, only producing the first shell 200 reduces the production cost. Moreover, only producing the first shell 200 can reduce the production of connectors between the middle frame and the rear shell, that is, it also reduces the number of parts between the instruments, making the instrument more integrated and more stable.

[0046] Embodiment 2:

[0047] Based on Example 1, Figure 2 to Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment further optimizes and illustrates the combination of instruments.

[0048] In other embodiments, the first installation groove 210 is provided with a first platform 111 and a second platform 112. The first platform 111 is provided in the middle of the first installation groove 210. The second platform 112 is provided around the outer periphery of the first platform 111 and is provided near the inner wall of the first shell 200. The fitting parts are provided on the first platform 111 and the second platform 112 respectively, and are used to fit the display assembly 100. The second platform 112 is close to the inner wall of the shell and is mainly used to fix the periphery of the display assembly 100. A plurality of thin-walled connecting parts are also provided between the first platform 111 and the second platform 112, and are used to fix the entire first shell 200 and improve the stability of the entire shell. The second platform 112 is provided with a through groove 113, which is provided in the middle of the first platform 111 and is used to provide a connection space for the wiring harness of the circuit board. The establishment of the first installation groove 210 has a shape that can just cover the display assembly 100, so that the black border around the display assembly 100 is reduced, and the aesthetics of the instrument is improved.

[0049] In other embodiments, the adhesive layer is used to attach the display assembly 100 to the first shell 200. Adhesion is used instead of traditional screw fixation and buckle hooks to prevent the display screen from being squeezed, which ultimately leads to uneven brightness distribution of the screen. The adhesive layer is divided into three layers. The first adhesive layer 114 is arranged around the through groove 113 on the first platform 111, and can be arranged to be serpentine around the side of the through groove 113 to improve the reliability of bonding. The second adhesive layer 115 is arranged on the second platform 112. During installation, the second platform 112 is aligned with the back of the display assembly 100 near the edge of the side, and the second adhesive layer 115 is bonded to the side to prevent the display surface from being tilted due to uneven bonding. At the same time, in order to make the bonding more firm, an adhesive is added to the inner side of the first shell 200 to improve the side installation stability of the display assembly 100 and the first mounting groove 210.

[0050] In other embodiments, the second mounting groove 220 is connected to the through groove 113, and the second mounting groove 220 is arranged on the back of the first shell 200 for installing the circuit board. A plurality of fixing screws 121 are arranged near the edge inside the second mounting groove 220, and threads are arranged inside the screws for screw fixing. The second mounting groove 220 is rectangular, and there is at least one fixing screw 121 at the four corners of the rectangle, and there is also a fixing screw 121 on one long side of the rectangle.

[0051] In other embodiments, a first screw hole 410 is provided on the periphery of the second shell 400 and is aligned with the fixing screw 121, and the circuit board assembly 300 is provided with a second screw hole 310 that is aligned with the first screw hole 410; when socketed, the screws pass through the first screw hole 410 and the second screw hole 310 respectively and are fixed in the fixing screw 121.

[0052] In other embodiments, a third mounting groove 420 is provided in the second shell 400, the circuit board assembly 300 is fixed on the surface of the second shell 400, and the circuit components in the circuit board assembly 300 are arranged in the third mounting groove 420; the third mounting groove 420 is used to provide installation space for components on the circuit board to prevent the components from directly contacting the second shell 400, and the inner wall of the third mounting groove 420 is provided with a sloped surface to facilitate the installation of the circuit board.

[0053] In other embodiments, a socket 430 is further provided in the third installation groove 420, and the circuit board assembly 300 is provided with a plug 320, which is electrically connected to the vehicle through the socket 430. When the socket 430 is installed on the circuit board, the socket 430 corresponds to the plug 320, so that the plug 320 extends from the socket 430 to the rear side of the second shell 400 and is electrically connected to the vehicle. In order to make it easier for the plug 320 to extend to the rear side of the second shell 400, a protrusion is further provided, on which the socket 430 is provided. During installation, the protrusion reduces the distance between the socket 430 and the circuit board, thereby exposing more of the plug 320 to the back of the second shell 400, thereby facilitating installation and electrical connection between the plug and the vehicle.

[0054] In other embodiments, a mounting bracket 500 is further included, and a plurality of second through holes 510 are provided on the mounting bracket 500. A first through hole 450 is correspondingly provided in the third mounting groove 420. The mounting bracket 500 is installed on the rear side of the second shell 400 through the first through hole 450 and the second through hole 510; the mounting bracket 500 is arranged on the rear side of the second shell 400, and the instrument is fixed to the vehicle through the mounting bracket 500.
