[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there can be a central component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there can be a central component at the same time.

[0046] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in this application and in the specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0047] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0048] In the related art, the central control screen adopts a straight panel setting. For the central control screen of this structure, the surface of the dashboard often needs to be provided with an opening as large as the area of ​​the central control screen to ensure that the central control screen can be hidden in the center console. An opening that is too large will occupy the setting space of other structures of the dashboard, increase the difficulty for users to interact with other structures of the dashboard, and affect the appearance of the dashboard.

[0049] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a vehicle, which can be a car, a truck, or a motorcycle, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0050] The vehicle includes a chassis and a body, the body is formed with a cockpit, a center console is arranged in the cockpit, and the center console includes a platform body, an instrument panel and a center control screen device. The platform body of the center console is fixedly connected to the vehicle chassis, the platform body is formed with an installation cavity, and the center control screen device is arranged in the installation cavity.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The instrument panel 2000 has an outer side surface 2200 facing the cockpit side and an inner side surface (not shown in the figure) facing the platform side of the center console.

[0052] The central control screen device 1000 includes a flexible screen 600, a folding mechanism 200 and a telescopic mechanism 300. The flexible screen 600 has an unfolded state and a folded state. The flexible screen 600 is used to move relative to the instrument panel 2000, and has a first position located on the inner side of the instrument panel 2000, and a second position where an opening 2100 passing through the instrument panel 2000 is located on the outer side of the instrument panel 2000. In the first position, the flexible screen 600 is in a folded state, and in the second position, the flexible screen 600 is in an unfolded state. The folding mechanism 200 is used to drive the flexible screen 600 to switch between the unfolded state and the folded state. The telescopic mechanism 300 is used to drive the flexible screen 600 to switch between the first position and the second position, and when the flexible screen 600 switches between the first position and the second position, the flexible screen 600 is in a folded state.

[0053] The flexible screen 600 is used to display vehicle information (such as vehicle speed, vehicle temperature, tire pressure data, etc.) or provide an interactive interface for the driver. In the present application, the flexible screen 600 is configured to be flexible. When the flexible screen 600 is subjected to pressure, the flexible screen 600 will not break, but will unfold or fold along with the pressure.

[0054] In the technical solution of the present application, the flexible screen 600 has an unfolded state and a folded state. When the flexible screen 600 is in the first position, the flexible screen 600 is in the unfolded state to display information or provide a driver interaction interface. When the flexible screen 600 is retracted from the second position to the first position under the action of the telescopic mechanism 300, the flexible screen 600 can first be transformed from the unfolded state to the folded state under the action of the folding mechanism 200, and pass through the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000 in the folded state and be stored on the inner side of the instrument panel 2000. In this way, the difficulty of storing the central control screen device 1000 is reduced, the space occupied by the central control screen device 1000 after being stored is reduced, and the layout of the central console is optimized.

[0055] The central control screen device also includes a screen mechanism 100, and the folding mechanism 200 drives the screen mechanism 100 to move so as to drive the flexible screen 600 to switch between the second position and the first position. The structure of the screen mechanism 100 can be various, please refer to Figure 4 In one possible implementation manner of the present application, the screen mechanism 100 includes: a hinge 101 , a first shell 102 , and a second shell 103 .

[0056] The hinge 101 has a first mounting portion 1011 and a second mounting portion 1012 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first housing 102 has a first end 1021 and a second end 1022, and the first end 1021 of the first housing 102 is rotatably connected to the first mounting portion 1011. The second housing 103 has a third end 1031 and a fourth end 1032 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the third end 1031 of the second housing 103 is rotatably connected to the second mounting portion 1012.

[0057] The first shell 102 and the second shell 103 can be rotatably connected to the hinge 101 via gears, or can be rotatably connected to the hinge 101 via hinges, and the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0058] Please combine Figure 4 refer to Figure 6 In one possible implementation manner of the present application, the screen mechanism 100 also includes a hinge assembly 105, and the hinge assembly 105 is used to rotatably connect the first shell 102 and the second shell 103. The hinge assembly 105 includes: a hinge bracket 1051, a first hinge 1052 and a second hinge 1053. The hinge bracket 1051 is installed on the hinge 101. The hinge bracket 1051 and the hinge 101 can be integrally formed or separately formed and then connected to each other. The present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0059] One end of the first hinge 1052 is hinged to the hinge bracket 1051 through a semicircular groove, and the other end is connected to the first shell 102, so that the first shell 102 is rotatably connected to the hinge 101. There are many ways to connect the first hinge 1052 and the first shell 102. The first hinge 1052 can be welded to the first shell 102 or connected to the first shell 102 through threads, and this application does not limit this.

[0060] One end of the second hinge 1053 is hinged to the hinge bracket 1051 through a semicircular groove, and the other end is connected to the second housing 103, so that the second housing 103 is rotatably connected to the hinge 101. There are many ways to connect the second hinge 1053 and the second housing 103. The second hinge 1053 can be welded to the second housing 103 or connected to the second housing 103 by threads, and this application does not limit this.

[0061] It can be understood that compared with the use of multi-stage gear connection, the hinge assembly 105 has lower processing and assembly precision requirements, lower processing and assembly costs, and after assembly, it occupies a small space, can save a large folding space, and make the screen more delicate and beautiful.

[0062] Taking into account the manufacturing errors in the hinge mechanism processing process, there will still be an assembly gap in the screen after assembly. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present application, the hinge assembly 105 also includes a damping device, which is used to increase the rotational damping of the first hinge 1052 and the second hinge 1053, thereby reducing the shaking frequency of the first hinge 1052 and the second hinge 1053 during the assembly process, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the hinge assembly 105.

[0063] The folding mechanism 200 drives the first shell 102 and the second shell 103 to move, so as to drive the flexible screen 600 to switch between the unfolded state and the folded state. There are many ways for the folding mechanism 200 to drive the first shell 102 and the second shell 103. Figure 1 refer to Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present application, the folding mechanism 200 includes a central control screen support seat 201, a flip sliding seat 202, a first flip rod 203, a second flip rod 204, and a first driving assembly 205. The central control screen support seat 201 is connected to the platform, and the hinge 101 of the screen body mechanism 100 is fixed on the central control screen support seat 201; the flip sliding seat 202 is movably arranged on the first driving assembly 205. One end of the first flip rod 203 is rotatably connected to the flip sliding seat 202, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first shell 102; one end of the second flip rod 204 is rotatably connected to the flip sliding seat 202, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second shell 103; the first driving assembly 205 is used to drive the flip sliding seat 202 to slide along the length direction of the central control screen support seat 201.

[0064] In specific practice, when the flexible screen 600 switches from a folded state to an unfolded state, the first drive assembly 205 works and drives the flip sliding seat 202 to move away from the hinge 101; the flip sliding seat 202 moves and then drives the first flip rod 203 and the second flip rod 204 to move away from the hinge 101; the first flip rod 203 and the second flip rod 204 move away from each other, and at the same time drive the second end 1022 of the first shell 102 and the fourth end 1032 of the second shell 103 connected thereto move away from each other, the second end of the first shell 102 and the fourth end 1032 of the second shell 103 are spaced apart from each other, and the flexible screen 600 is unfolded.

[0065] When the flexible screen 600 switches from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first driving assembly 205 works and drives the flip sliding seat 202 to move toward the side close to the hinge 101; the movement of the flip sliding seat 202 drives the first flip rod 203 and the second flip rod 204 to move toward the side close to the hinge 101, and the first flip rod 203 and the second flip rod 204 move closer to each other, and at the same time drive the second end of the first shell 102 and the fourth end 1032 of the second shell 103 connected thereto to move toward each other, the second end of the first shell 102 and the fourth end 1032 of the second shell 103 contact each other, the first shell 102 and the second shell 103 are in a folded state, and the flexible screen 600 is folded between the first shell 102 and the second shell 103.

[0066] It can be understood that in the above embodiment, the first drive component 205 can be a cylinder or an oil cylinder, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this. In one embodiment of the present application, the first drive component 205 includes a first motor 2051, a first screw rod 2052 and a first screw rod nut 2053. The motor seat of the first motor 2051 is fixed on the central control screen support seat 201; one end of the first screw rod 2052 is drive-connected to the first motor 2051, and the other end is rotationally connected to the central control screen support seat 201; the first screw rod nut 2053 is connected to the first screw rod 2052, and the flip sliding seat 202 is arranged on the first screw rod nut 2053.

[0067] In specific practice, the first motor 2051 can drive the first screw nut 2053 to move by rotating, thereby driving the flip sliding seat 202 connected to the first screw nut 2053 to move. The first motor 2051 changes the rotation direction, which can change the movement direction of the flip sliding seat 202, thereby realizing the switching of the flexible screen 600 between the folded state and the unfolded state.

[0068] It can be understood that in other possible implementation modes of the present application, the folding mechanism 200 can also be other structures. For example, the folding mechanism 200 can also be two cylinders, and the piston rods of the two cylinders are respectively connected to the shell wall surfaces of the first shell 102 and the second shell 103 facing the hinge 101. The movement of the cylinder piston rods drives the first shell 102 and the second shell 103 to rotate, thereby realizing the switching of the flexible screen 600 between the folded state and the unfolded state.

[0069] Similarly, in other possible implementation modes of the present application, the screen mechanism 100 may also include a third shell and a fourth shell, the third shell is hinged to the fourth shell, the flexible screen 600 is connected to the third shell and the fourth shell, and the folding mechanism drives the third shell or the fourth shell to move, and the flexible screen 600 can also be switched from an unfolded state to a folded state.

[0070] Please combine Figure 1 refer to Figure 8 The telescopic mechanism 300 includes a fixed seat 301 and a second drive assembly 302; the fixed seat 301 is used to provide support for the second drive assembly and the folding mechanism. The fixed seat 301 can be a separate support member or a part of the platform body, and the present application does not limit this. Exemplarily, in the present application, the fixed seat 301 is configured as a support member independent of the platform body, the fixed seat 301 is fixed to the platform body of the center console, one end of the fixed seat 301 extends toward the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000, and the center control screen support seat 201 is movably disposed on the second drive assembly 302, and can move toward and away from the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000 along the extension direction of the fixed seat 301.

[0071] In specific practice, when the flexible screen 600 needs to switch from the first position to the second position, the second driving component 302 works, thereby driving the central control screen support seat 201 to move toward the opening 2100 close to the instrument panel 2000; the screen body mechanism 100 is driven by the central control screen support seat 201 to pass through the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000, and then appear outside the center console.

[0072] When the flexible screen 600 needs to switch from the second position to the first position, the second driving component 302 works, thereby driving the central control screen support base 201 to move in the direction of the opening 2100 away from the dashboard 2000; the screen body mechanism 100 is driven by the central control screen support base 201 and is retracted into the center console.

[0073] The second drive component 302 can be a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this. In one embodiment of the present application, the second drive component 302 includes a second motor 3021, a second screw rod 3022 and a second screw rod 3022 nut 3023. The motor base of the second motor 3021 is fixed on the fixed base 301, one end of the second screw rod 3022 is drive-connected to the second motor 3021, and the other end is rotationally connected to the fixed base 301. The second screw rod nut 3023 is arranged on the second screw rod 3022, and the central control screen support base 201 is fixedly connected to the second screw rod nut.

[0074] In specific practice, the second motor 3021 can drive the second screw nut 3023 to move by rotating, thereby driving the central control screen support base 201 connected to the second screw nut 3023 to move, and finally driving the screen body mechanism 100 to move. The first motor 2051 can change the direction of rotation to change the direction of movement of the screen body mechanism 100, thereby realizing the switching of the flexible screen 600 relative to the instrument panel 2000 between the folded state and the unfolded state.

[0075] The central control screen device 1000 can also realize the switching of the flexible screen 600 between the first position and the second position relative to the dashboard 2000 in other ways. For example, in other embodiments of the present application, the fixed seat 301 of the telescopic mechanism 300 is integrated, an electromagnet is laid on the table, and a permanent magnet is provided on the central control screen support seat 201. By changing the direction of the electromagnet current, the flexible screen 600 can also be driven to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 1The central control screen device 1000 further includes a shielding door 400, which is disposed on the central control screen support seat 201 and is located between the screen body mechanism 100 and the central control screen support seat 201. The position and shape of the shielding door 400 are adapted to the position and shape of the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000. Thus, when the screen body mechanism 100 is driven by the central control screen support seat 201 and moves to the fourth position, the shielding door 400 can cover the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000, thereby preventing the dust in the cockpit or the outside from entering the central console through the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000 when the screen body mechanism 100 is in the second position, thereby affecting the normal use of other devices in the central console.

[0077] Please combine Figure 1 Please refer to Fig. 9 The center console also includes a hidden door mechanism 500, which includes a hidden door 501. When the flexible screen 600 is in the first position, that is, hidden in the center console, the hidden door 501 covers the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000 to prevent external dust or water vapor from entering the center console and damaging the electronic components of the center console. When the flexible screen 600 switches from the first position to the second position, the hidden door 501 will be separated from the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000 to leave space for the screen mechanism 100 to move.

[0078] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, the hidden door mechanism 500 includes a hidden door 501 and a third driving assembly 502. The hidden door 501 is movably disposed on the platform or the dashboard 2000. The hidden door 501 has a third position and a fourth position. When in the third position, the hidden door 501 covers the opening 2100 of the dashboard 2000. When in the fourth position, the hidden door 501 is away from the opening 2100 of the dashboard 2000. The third driving assembly 502 is used to drive the hidden door 501 to switch between the third position and the fourth position.

[0079] In one possible implementation of the present application, the hidden door 501 mechanism 500 further includes an elastic member, which is disposed on the side of the hidden door 501 facing the platform. The provision of the elastic member can, on the one hand, provide a buffer for the contact between the hidden door 501 and the platform, so as to prevent the hidden door 501 from colliding with the platform during movement, thereby preventing the hidden door 501 from colliding with the platform and causing damage to the platform. On the other hand, the hidden door 501 can reduce the sound of the hidden door 501 contacting the platform, improve the quietness of the operation of the hidden door mechanism 500, and thus improve the user experience.

[0080] The elastic member may be a damping rubber or a spring damping shock absorber, which is not limited in the present application.

[0081] It is understandable that the hidden door 501 can move in the up-down direction to cover and move away from the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000, and can also move in the front-back direction to cover and move away from the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000. The present application does not limit this. It is understandable that when the hidden door 501 moves in the front-back direction, the movement trajectory of the hidden door 501 is perpendicular to the instrument panel 2000, and the movement trajectory of the hidden door 501 occupies a large space of the center console; and when the hidden door 501 moves in the up-down direction, the movement trajectory of the hidden door 501 can fit with the inner side of the instrument panel 2000, thereby reducing the space occupied by the movement of the hidden door 501 on the center console and optimizing the layout structure of the center console.

[0082] Therefore, in one possible implementation mode of the present application, the hidden door 501 covers and is away from the opening 2100 of the dashboard 2000 in the up-down direction, and the third driving assembly 502 is used to drive the hidden door 501 to move in the up-down direction.

[0083] It can be understood that in order to drive the hidden door 501 to move, the third driving component 502 can be a cylinder or a motor, and this application does not limit this. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In one embodiment of the present application, the third driving assembly 502 includes a connecting rod mechanism 5021 and a driving member 5022. The connecting rod mechanism 5021 has a fixing portion and a mounting portion that are relatively arranged. The fixing portion is connected to the platform body so that the connecting rod mechanism 5021 is fixedly connected to the platform body. The mounting portion is movably arranged on the platform body in the up-down direction, the hidden door 501 is arranged on the mounting portion, and the driving member 5022 is used to drive the mounting portion to move in the up-down direction.

[0084] In specific practice, the driving member 5022 moves, thereby driving the mounting portion to move in the up-down direction. The mounting portion moves, driving the connected hidden door 501 to move in the up-down direction, thereby realizing the switching of the hidden door 501 between the third position and the fourth position.

[0085] The structure of the connecting rod mechanism 5021 can be various. In one embodiment of the present application, the connecting rod mechanism 5021 includes a connecting rod seat 50211, a first connecting rod 50212, and a second connecting rod 50213. The fixing part is provided on the connecting rod seat 50211, and the connecting rod seat 50211 is fixed to the platform through the fixing part. There are various ways to fix the connecting rod seat 50211 to the platform. The connecting rod seat 50211 can be fixed to the platform by magnetic attraction; it can also be connected to the platform by threading, and the present application does not limit this.

[0086] The first connecting rod 50212 includes a first rod end 50212a and a second rod end 50212b that are oppositely arranged, and the first rod end 50212a is rotatably connected to the connecting rod seat 50211; the second connecting rod 50213 includes a third rod end 50213a and a fourth rod end 50213b, and the third rod end 50213a and the second rod end 50212b are rotatably connected, and the mounting portion is disposed at the fourth rod end 50213b to mount the hidden door 501. The driving member 5022 is drivingly connected to the first connecting rod 50212 to drive the second rod end 50212b to rotate around the first rod end 50212a.

[0087] In specific practice, when the hidden door 501 switches from the third position to the fourth position, the driving member 5022 moves, thereby driving the second rod end 50212b to move in a clockwise direction around the first rod end 50212a; the second rod end 50212b moves, driving the third rod end 50213a to move downward; the third rod end 50213a moves, driving the fourth rod end 50213b to move downward, and the fourth rod end 50213b moves downward, driving the hidden door 501 connected to the fourth rod end 50213b to move downward, and the hidden door 501 is switched to the third position, and the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000 is revealed, thereby enabling the screen mechanism 100 to extend out of the center console from the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000.

[0088] When the hidden door 501 switches from the fourth position to the third position, the driving member 5022 moves, thereby driving the second rod end 50212b to move counterclockwise around the first rod end 50212a; the second rod end 50212b moves, driving the third rod end 50213a to move upward; the third rod end 50213a moves, driving the fourth rod end 50213b to move upward; the fourth rod end 50213b moves upward, driving the hidden door 501 connected to the fourth rod end 50213b to move upward; the hidden door 501 is covered at the opening 2100 of the dashboard 2000.

[0089] The driving member 5022 may be a cylinder or a motor, and this application does not limit this. Fig.10In one embodiment of the present application, the first connecting rod 50212 has an elongated hole 50214 extending through the first connecting rod 50212 along its thickness direction, and the elongated hole 50214 extends along the length direction of the first connecting rod 50212. The driving member 5022 includes a clamping block 5022a, one end of the clamping block 5022a is connected to the central control screen support seat 201, and the other end is movably arranged in the elongated hole 50214. In this way, when the central control screen support base 201 moves in the direction close to the instrument panel 2000, the clamping block 5022a will move in the direction of the elongated hole 50214 driven by the central control screen support base 201; during the movement, the clamping block 5022a will conflict with the lower end surface of the elongated hole 50214, thereby pushing the second rod end 50212b to move clockwise; the hidden door 501 is switched to the fourth position, and the hidden door 501 is disengaged from the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000; at the same time, the screen body mechanism 100 will also be driven by the central control screen support base 201 to pass through the opening 2100 of the instrument panel 2000 and appear outside the center console.

[0090] When the screen mechanism 100 needs to be hidden, the central control screen support seat 201 moves away from the dashboard 2000, and the screen mechanism 100 is retracted into the center console. During this process, the clamping block 5022a will also move along the elongated hole 50214 driven by the central control screen support seat 201, and will conflict with the upper end surface of the elongated hole 50214, thereby pushing the second rod end 50212b to move in a counterclockwise direction, and the hidden door 501 is switched back to the third position, and the hidden door 501 covers the opening 2100 of the dashboard 2000.

[0091] In this embodiment, the setting of the clamping block 5022a enables the telescopic mechanism 300 and the hidden door mechanism 500 to be linked as one, and then the power mechanism of the telescopic mechanism 300 is used to drive the hidden door 501 to move, thereby streamlining the mechanical structure of the hidden door mechanism 500, reducing the space occupied by the hidden door mechanism 500, and saving the layout cost of the hidden door mechanism 500.

[0092] It is understandable that the material of the clamping block 5022a can be plastic, metal, or rubber, and the present application does not limit this. Similarly, the shape of the clamping block 5022a can be a cylinder or a square, and the present application does not limit this. In one embodiment of the present application, the clamping block 5022a uses a rubber bearing. The setting of the rubber bearing, on the one hand, can convert the contact between the clamping block 5022a and the elongated hole 50214 from a sliding contact to a rolling contact, thereby reducing the movement resistance of the clamping block 5022a in the elongated hole 50214 and improving the smoothness of the operation of the hidden door mechanism 500. On the other hand, the clamping block 5022a is made of rubber material, which can reduce the movement sound of the clamping block 5022a in the elongated hole 50214, improve the quietness of the movement of the hidden door mechanism 500, and improve the user experience.

[0093] The hidden door mechanism 500 includes a slide rail 503 having a slide groove. The slide rail 503 is fixed to the center console, and the hidden door 501 is clamped in the slide groove. The slide rail 503 can provide guidance for the movement of the hidden door 501 and improve the stability of the operation of the hidden door 501.

[0094] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship of terms such as "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside" and "outside" are based on the orientation or positional relationship described in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0095] What is disclosed above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and it certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field can understand that all or part of the processes of implementing the above embodiment and equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application are still within the scope covered by the present application.
