[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 A secondary instrument panel assembly 100 according to an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention is described.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary instrument panel assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes: a box body 10 and a lighting device 20, the box body 10 includes: a box body 11 and a rear cover plate 12, the box body 11 has a accommodating cavity with an open rear side, and the rear cover plate 12 is connected to the box body 11 for opening and closing the open mouth of the accommodating cavity; the lighting device 20 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, wherein when the rear cover plate 12 opens the open mouth, the rear cover plate 12 drives the lighting device 20 to be powered on; when the rear cover plate 12 closes the open mouth, the rear cover plate 12 drives the lighting device 20 to be powered off.

[0031] Specifically, the accommodating cavity of the box body 11 can provide installation space and protection for the electrical components and lighting devices 20 of the auxiliary instrument panel assembly 100; the rear cover 12 can open and close the opening of the accommodating cavity, thus providing convenience for repairing the electrical components and lighting devices 20 inside the box body 11, and at the same time, it can also ensure the closedness and cleanliness of the interior of the accommodating cavity, preventing impurities from entering the accommodating cavity and damaging the electrical components and lighting devices 20 inside.

[0032] The lighting device 20 is installed in the accommodating cavity, and when the rear cover 12 is opened, the lighting device 20 can be powered on. In this way, when a user needs to inspect electrical components inside the box body 11, the lighting device 20 can automatically light up to provide sufficient light, thereby enhancing visibility at night or in low-light environments. This eliminates the need for additional light sources during inspection, freeing the user's hands and allowing the user to use both hands to perform inspection operations, thereby improving the user's operating convenience.

[0033] In particular, the power state of the lighting device 20 is linked to the action of the rear cover 12. When the rear cover 12 is opened, the lighting device 20 is automatically powered on and lit; and when the rear cover 12 is closed, while shielding the opening of the accommodating cavity, the lighting device 20 is automatically powered off, which not only saves energy, but also reduces the user's manual operation of turning the light on and off, and improves the level of intelligence in use.

[0034] According to the auxiliary instrument panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by providing the lighting device 20, the user can have sufficient light when inspecting the electrical components inside the maintenance box body 11, thereby freeing the user's hands and improving the user's operating convenience and maintenance efficiency; at the same time, by providing the switch of the lighting device 20 to be related to the opening and closing of the rear cover 12, the lighting device 20 is only turned on when the rear cover 12 is opened. In this way, it can not only reduce the operation of manual switching of the light by the user and improve the intelligent level of use, but also help save vehicle electricity and meet the vehicle's energy conservation and emission reduction needs.

[0035] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the lighting device 20 has a first electrical connector 21 and a second electrical connector 22, the box body 11 has a mounting plate 111, the first electrical connector 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 111, and the second electrical connector 22 is movably connected to the mounting plate 111 at a first position and a second position, wherein when the rear cover 12 opens the opening, the second electrical connector 22 moves to the first position and contacts the first electrical connector 21 to power on the lighting device 20; when the rear cover 12 closes the opening, the second electrical connector 22 moves to the second position, the second electrical connector 22 is separated from the first electrical connector 21, and the lighting device 20 is powered off.

[0036] It can be understood that the rear cover 12 realizes the power-on and power-off of the lighting device 20 by driving the second electrical connector 22 to move between the first position and the second position. That is to say, the present application realizes automatic power-on and power-off through a mechanical structure. In this way, the process complexity of the lighting device 20 can be reduced, and the manufacturing difficulty and operation difficulty of the lighting device 20 can be reduced; at the same time, electronic failure points can be reduced, and problems caused by aging or failure of electronic components can be reduced, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire system.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary instrument panel assembly 100 further includes: a first elastic member 30, and the second electrical connector 22 is connected to the mounting plate 111 through the first elastic member 30, so that the second electrical connector 22 can move between the first position and the second position. The first elastic member 30 has an elastic reset function, and thus, it can be understood that the lighting device 20 is powered off and powered on by the elastic reset of the first elastic member 30, so that the operation steps of the lighting device 20 can be further simplified and the user experience can be improved.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the mounting plate 111 includes: a plate body 1111 and an extension portion 1112, one end of the extension portion 1112 is connected to the plate body 1111, and the other end extends toward the rear cover 12, and the first electrical connector 21 and the second electrical connector 22 are arranged on the extension portion 1112 at intervals along the front-to-back direction. In this way, the rationality of the layout of the lighting device 20 can be improved, and at the same time, it can also ensure that when the rear cover 12 is opened, the second electrical connector 22 can smoothly move to a position in contact with the first electrical connector 21 to achieve circuit connectivity.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the first electrical connector 21 has a first contact, which is arranged on the side of the first electrical connector 21 facing the second electrical connector 22. The second electrical connector 22 includes: a connecting rod 221 and a second contact 222. One end of the connecting rod 221 is movably connected to the extension 1112, and the other end of the connecting rod 221 is connected to the plate body 1111 through the first elastic member 30; the second contact 222 is fixed on the side of the connecting rod 221 facing the first electrical connector 21. When the second electrical connector 22 is in the first position, the first contact is electrically connected to the second contact 222. It can be understood that as the rear cover 12 opens and closes, the second electrical connector 22 moves back and forth through the movable end of its connecting rod 221 under the action of the first elastic member 30, so as to achieve accurate docking and separation between the second contact 222 and the first contact. Among them, such a design does not require external power supply control, and relies on pure mechanical movement to complete the on-off of the circuit, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the lighting device 20, simplifying the complexity of the device, and improving the reliability and durability of the lighting device 20. At the same time, the structure of the contacts is relatively simple and the cost is low, thereby also reducing the production cost and maintenance cost of the lighting device 20.

[0040] Optional, see Figure 3-Figure 4 The first electrical connector 21 is arranged at the front end of the second electrical connector 22, and a protrusion is formed on the side of the rear cover 12 facing the accommodating cavity. When the rear cover 12 is in a closed opening, the protrusion abuts against the connecting rod 221, so that the end of the connecting rod 221 away from the second contact 222 is close to the side of the plate body 1111, and the first elastic member 30 is in a compressed state; when the rear cover 12 is in an open opening, the protrusion separates from the connecting rod 221, the external force on the connecting rod 221 is canceled, and the connecting rod 221 moves toward the first electrical connector 21 under the elastic reset action of the first elastic member 30, so that the first contact is electrically connected to the second contact 222, thereby powering on the lighting device 20.

[0041] Optionally, the rear cover 12 is connected to the box body by snapping, a plurality of buckles are formed on the rear cover 12, a plurality of snap holes are formed on the box body, and the buckles fit into the snap holes to connect the rear cover 12 to the box body.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the lighting device 20 includes: a lamp body and a lampshade 23, wherein the lamp body is arranged inside the lampshade 23, and the lampshade 23 is connected to the board body 1111. The lamp body is the core part of the lighting source, and is mainly used to generate light sources; the lampshade 23 provides installation space and support for the lamp body, so that the lamp body can be installed inside the box 10, and at the same time, it can also protect the lamp body, preventing other components from interfering with the lamp body and thus causing damage to the lamp body, thereby prolonging the service life of the lighting device 20.

[0043] Specifically, a mounting hole is formed on the board body 1111, and one end of the lampshade 23 away from the lamp body passes through the mounting hole and is connected to the board body 1111. In this way, the space occupied by the lighting device 20 can be reduced, thereby improving the integration of the auxiliary instrument panel assembly 100.

[0044] Optionally, there are many types of lamp bodies, for example, the lamp body may be an LED lamp bead, a fluorescent lamp tube or other light-emitting elements.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the end of the lampshade 23 away from the lamp body has a mounting piece 231, and the lampshade 23 is detachably connected to the plate body 1111 through the mounting piece 231. In this way, the user can easily install or remove the lampshade 23 without professional tools or a lot of effort, which is conducive to daily cleaning, maintenance or replacement of the lighting device 20.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the mounting member 231 includes: a second elastic member 2311 and a stopper 2312, wherein the stopper 2312 is fixed to at least one end of the second elastic member 2311 in the axial direction, and a through hole 232 is formed on the lampshade 23, which penetrates the lampshade 23 in the axial direction of the second elastic member 2311, and the stopper 2312 is movably fitted in the through hole 232 in the axial direction of the second elastic member 2311. The second elastic member 2311 has an elastic reset function, which is mainly used to realize the movement of the stopper 2312 in the through hole 232, thereby realizing the detachability of the lampshade 23; the stopper 2312 is mainly used to fix the lampshade 23 on the plate body 1111, so as to prevent the lampshade 23 from falling off the plate body 1111.

[0047] Furthermore, the stopper 2312 has a stop position and an unlocking position, wherein when the stopper 2312 is in the stop position, part of the stopper 2312 extends out of the through hole 232 and abuts against a surface of the side of the plate body 1111 facing away from the lamp body, and when the stopper 2312 is in the unlocking position, the stopper 2312 is completely received in the through hole 232.

[0048] Specifically, when the lampshade 23 needs to be disassembled, an external force needs to be applied to the stopper 2312 so that the stopper 2312 moves toward the inside of the lampshade 23, thereby making the outer surface of the entire mounting member 231 flush with or lower than the outer surface of the lampshade 23, and then the entire lampshade 23 is pulled out of the mounting hole; when the lampshade 23 is installed on the plate body 1111, the stopper 2312 is pressed, and at this time the stopper 2312 exerts a force on the second elastic member 2311, and the second elastic member 2311 undergoes elastic deformation, and the stopper 2312 moves toward the inside of the lampshade 23, and then the lampshade 23 is pushed into the mounting hole. When part of the mounting member 231 extends out of the mounting hole, the external force of the stopper 2312 is cancelled, and the second elastic member 2311 generates an opposite force on the stopper 2312 under the action of its own elastic reset function, pushing the stopper 2312 to extend out of the through hole 232 to fix the lampshade 23.

[0049] It should be noted that the stopper 2312 may be fixed to one end of the second elastic member 2311 in the axial direction, or to both ends of the second elastic member 2311 in the axial direction.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the second elastic member 2311 is a spring, and the number of the stoppers 2312 is two, and the two stoppers 2312 are respectively clamped at the two ends of the spring. The spring has a simple structure and is inexpensive, so the use of the spring as the second elastic member 2311 can reduce the production cost and maintenance cost of the entire lighting device 20; at the same time, the number of the stoppers 2312 is two, which can increase the connection stability between the lampshade 23 and the plate body 1111, thereby increasing the safety of the lighting device 20.

[0051] Optionally, the stopper 2312 is formed into a spherical shape, so that it can be easily engaged with the spring.

[0052] Optional, see Figure 3 The auxiliary instrument panel assembly 100 also includes: a controller 40, which is arranged on one side of the accommodating cavity close to the rear cover 12 and is used to control the electrical components arranged inside the accommodating cavity. The lighting device 20 is arranged at an adjacent position to the controller 40. When the rear cover 12 is opened, the lighting device 20 can at least illuminate the controller 40 and its connection harness area.
