DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The utility model discloses an instrument panel assembly, which reduces the maintenance rate and improves the user experience. In addition, the utility model also discloses a vehicle having the instrument panel assembly.

[0052] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0053] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0054] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, more and more models are equipped with various smart hardware.

[0055] At present, smart devices are usually installed on the dashboard, which is located in front of the driver's seat, so that the driver can view the information displayed by the smart device at any time. For example, LCD screens, instruments, car head-up displays (Head-Up Display, HUD) and other smart devices are usually installed on the dashboard. In addition, in order to meet the requirements of automobile internal safety collision regulations, the layout of smart devices in the car interior is also restricted. However, the increasing demand for smart devices by users, such as: wireless charging of smartphones, wireless charging of pads, watching dramas, live video, drone driving, outdoor live broadcasts, and on-board power applications, all require smart driving vehicles to have more on-board function configuration modules, but the dashboard area in the car is limited by layout space and safety, and cannot provide a large amount of module layout space.

[0056] Based on the above problems, Figure 1 As shown, there are vehicles in the aftermarket that provide users with on-board wireless charging brackets 300 for their mobile phones. However, the wireless charging bracket 300 needs to be pasted or clamped on the dashboard 100, and the on-board USB power supply needs to be connected to the wireless charging bracket 300 through the charging cable 400, and then the electronic device 200 (including but not limited to mobile phones, PADs or camera gimbals, etc.) is charged through the wireless charging bracket 300. During user use, it is not convenient to use due to the problem of exposed charging cable 400, and the wireless charging bracket 300 pasted on the dashboard 100 will damage the dashboard decorative panel, and the clamping type is generally clamped on the air outlet blade, which is also very easy to cause damage to the air outlet blade.

[0057] Based on this, the present application adds a standard expansion interface module to at least one of the co-pilot side area of ​​the dashboard, behind the driver's seat, and behind the co-pilot seat, which is connected to the host system and the wiring harness of the whole vehicle. Through an external standard plug and the definition of the whole vehicle functional software system, the user can use products with different functions, such as: wireless charging of mobile phones, interconnection of mobile phone live broadcast with the vehicle's built-in camera, wireless charging of pad, mobile phone and PAD drama watching stand, PAD acting as a co-pilot side display screen of the vehicle, drone controller stand, vehicle-mounted external fragrance stand, vehicle-mounted external power supply interface, etc. Users can connect the products they need to the vehicle computer through the interface through the standardized multi-functional expansion interface module, without the need for additional connection equipment development.

[0058] The expansion interface module is set on the instrument panel assembly as an example for explanation.

The rotation direction of the socket switch assembly 3 can be set according to different needs and is within the protection range. The embodiments in this application are described with upside down flipping, and other rotation directions can refer to this description.

[0065] The expansion interface module 4 is connected to the vehicle's onboard system in a communication manner. The expansion interface module 4 and the onboard system can be connected through a wiring harness. The expansion interface module 4 can realize wireless charging of the electronic device 200 or interconnection with the vehicle's own camera, etc. For the structure of the expansion interface module 4 and the principle of realizing the corresponding functions, refer to the existing known content. The improvement of the present application is that the expansion interface module 4 is integrated on the co-pilot side of the instrument panel.

[0066] The expansion interface module 4 is connected to the fixing bracket 5, and the connection between the two can be a detachable connection to facilitate replacement of the expansion interface module 4. The connection methods include but are not limited to threaded connection, clamping or bonding.

[0067] The dashboard assembly disclosed in the present application is equipped with an expansion interface module 4 on the co-pilot side for connecting to an external standard plug. The expansion interface module 4 is electrically connected to the vehicle-mounted system to realize wireless charging of electronic devices or access to the vehicle-mounted intelligent network architecture, thereby realizing wireless connection between multiple user devices (mobile phones, pads, gimbal cameras, drones, external fragrances, etc.) and vehicle equipment (charging, vehicle-mounted cameras, vehicle-mounted networks). In addition, the expansion interface module 4 replaces the external wireless charging bracket, so there is no need for an external charging cable, which is conducive to improving the simplicity of the vehicle interior, avoiding damage to the dashboard decorative panel and blades, and improving the user experience; the socket switch assembly 3 can ensure the integrity of the appearance and reduce safety hazards.

[0068] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the socket switch assembly 3 in the present application includes: a rotating shaft 31, a first torsion spring 32, a second torsion spring 34, a switch panel 33, a switch button 35, a lock core 36 and a reinforcement plate 37.

[0069] The rotating shaft 31 is fixed to the side of the instrument panel decorative panel 2 close to the instrument panel frame 1. In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 31 is installed above the socket 21. The connection between the rotating shaft 31 and the instrument panel decorative panel 2 can be clamped. One end of the switch panel 33 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 31 through the first torsion spring 32, and under the action of the first torsion spring 32, the switch panel 33 can be reset after rotation. One end of the switch button 35 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 31 through the second torsion spring 34, and under the action of the second torsion spring 34, the switch button 35 can be reset after rotation.

[0070] The switch panel 33 has a notch, and a portion of the switch button 35 can cover the notch. The switch panel 33 and the switch button 35 can cover the socket 21 after being assembled.

[0071] Combination Figure 4As shown, the lock core 36 is installed on the switch panel 33 and is located beside the switch button 35. The lock core 36 can be restrained against the lock buckle 23. The lock core 36 can move in the direction toward and away from the lock buckle 23, and achieve limited contact and separation with the lock buckle 23 during the movement. The limiting direction of the lock buckle 23 on the lock core 36 is the rotation direction of the switch button 35 to open the socket 21. The number of lock cores 36 includes but is not limited to one. When there are two lock cores 36, they can be distributed on both sides of the switch button 35 and can be symmetrically arranged about the switch button 35. The lock core 36 is set one-to-one with the lock buckle 23, and the lock buckle 23 is a baffle structure with a groove.

[0072] The reinforcing plate 37 is fixedly connected to the switch panel 33, including but not limited to being connected by screws, and the lock core 36 is located between the switch panel 33 and the reinforcing plate 37. The reinforcing plate 37 can protect the lock core 36 and prevent the lock core 36 from being damaged by the outside, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the socket switch assembly 3. When there are two lock cores 36 and they are symmetrically arranged, the reinforcing plate 37 is also a symmetrical structure. It should be noted that when the socket 21 is closed, the distance between the reinforcing plate 37 and the switch button 35 can ensure that the switch button 35 can move to a preset position relative to the lock core 36.

[0073] The lock core 36 is rotationally connected to the switch button 35. During the rotation of the switch button 35 relative to the switch panel 33, the lock core 36 and the lock buckle 23 can be unlocked. After the switch button 35 is rotated to a preset position relative to the switch panel 33, the switch panel 33 can be limited to the switch button 35 as an integrated structure, so that the switch button 35 can drive the switch panel 33 to rotate synchronously, and finally the socket 21 is opened.

[0074] The lock core 36 has a limiting groove. In some embodiments, the limiting groove is an arc groove 361. However, the limiting groove in the present application includes but is not limited to the arc groove 361, and can also be a groove of other shapes, as long as the connecting rod 351 moves to the preset position of the limiting groove, the lock core 36 is away from the lock buckle 23 to achieve unlocking. For the arc groove 361, the distance from the end of the arc groove 361 to the lock buckle 23 is greater than the distance from the middle position to the lock buckle 23, and the height difference between the middle position and the end is slightly greater than the length of the limiting overlap between the lock buckle 23 and the lock core 36.

[0075] Optionally, the arc groove 361 is a groove symmetrical about the middle position. The side of the switch button 35 has a connecting rod 351, which can be inserted into the arc groove 361 and move along the arc groove 361. When the connecting rod 351 moves along the arc groove 361, it will drive the lock core 36 to move in a direction relative to the lock buckle 23, and when the connecting rod 351 is located in the middle position of the arc groove 361, the lock core 36 is separated from the lock buckle 23 to achieve unlocking.

[0076] When the connecting rod 351 is located at the first end of the arc groove 361, the lock core 36 and the lock buckle 23 are limitedly connected, the switch button 35 and the switch panel 33 are in a fitted position, and the socket 21 is in a closed state; when the connecting rod 351 is located at the second end of the arc groove 361, the lock core 36 is separated from the lock buckle 23, the switch button 35 is rotated to the maximum angle relative to the switch panel 33, and the socket 21 is in the opening process.

[0077] It should be noted that the positions of the arc groove 361 and the connecting rod 351 are interchangeable, that is, the arc groove is provided on the switch button 35 , and the connecting rod is provided on the lock core 36 .

[0078] In this article, the socket switch assembly 3 is locked and unlocked to prevent the socket switch assembly 3 from being opened due to a fault, and can also prevent children from operating it, thereby ensuring the safety of children.
