[0028] The utility model provides an angle-adjustable instrument structure and a vehicle having the same. The angle-adjustable instrument structure can change the angle of an instrument panel body to improve driving experience.

[0029] Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of the axial structure of the angle-adjustable instrument structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 Shown Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the axle side structure of the middle angle adjustable instrument structure from the second perspective. Figure 3 Shown Figure 1 The rear view structure diagram of the instrument panel body. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the angle-adjustable instrument structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes an instrument panel body 10 and a plurality of push-pull mechanisms 20. Each push-pull mechanism 20 includes a power source 211 and a push rod 212. The power source 211 is disposed on a support member 30, such as a front decorative panel of a vehicle. One end of the push rod 212 is connected to the power source 211, and the other end is hinged to the instrument panel body 10. The power source 211 drives the push rod 212 to move forward and backward, that is, to move toward and away from the instrument panel body 10. Figure 3 As shown, the different push rods 212 are at different heights of the hinge points with the instrument panel body 10 .

[0030] In this embodiment, when the angle of the dashboard body 10 needs to be adjusted, the movement state of the push-pull mechanism 20 can be controlled. When the dashboard body 10 needs to be tilted backward (that is, tilted in the direction away from the steering wheel), the push rod 212 with a higher hinge point between the push rod 212 and the dashboard body 10 can be pulled backward by the power source 211, and the push rod 212 with a lower hinge point between the push rod 212 and the dashboard body 10 can be pushed forward by the power source 211. At this time, the dashboard body 10 can be tilted backward; when the dashboard body 10 needs to be tilted forward (that is, tilted in the direction close to the steering wheel), the push rod 212 with a higher hinge point between the push rod 212 and the dashboard body 10 can be pushed forward by the power source 211, and the push rod 212 with a lower hinge point between the push rod 212 and the dashboard body 10 can be pulled backward by the power source 211. At this time, the dashboard body 10 can be tilted forward.

[0031] That is, in this embodiment, by providing a plurality of push-pull mechanisms 10 and making the heights of the hinge points between the push-pull mechanisms 10 and the instrument panel body 10 different, the instrument panel body 10 can be tilted forward or backward by controlling the push-pull mechanisms 10 with different hinge heights, thereby adjusting the height or angle of structures such as seats and steering wheels to improve driving comfort.

[0032] For further information, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the push-pull mechanism 20 includes a first push-pull mechanism 22 and a second push-pull mechanism 23, and the first push-pull mechanism 22 is disposed between the two second push-pull mechanisms 23. Preferably, the hinge point between the push rod 212 of the first push-pull mechanism 22 and the instrument panel body 10 (such as Figure 3 The point A in the figure is located in the middle of the instrument panel body 10, and the hinge point between the push rods 212 of the two second push-pull mechanisms 23 and the instrument panel body 10 (such as Figure 3 The height of the hinge point between the push rod 212 in the first push-pull mechanism 22 and the instrument panel body 10 is higher than the height of the hinge point between the push rod 212 in the two second push-pull mechanisms 23 and the instrument panel body 10.

[0033] When the angle of the instrument panel body 10 is controlled, when the push rod 212 in the first push-pull mechanism 22 is pushed forward and the push rod 212 in the second push-pull mechanism 23 is pulled backward, the instrument panel body 10 tilts forward; when the push rod 212 in the first push-pull mechanism 22 is pulled backward and the push rod 212 in the second push-pull mechanism 23 is pushed forward, the instrument panel body 10 tilts backward. By limiting the positions of the first push-pull mechanism 22 and the second push-pull mechanism 23, the instrument panel body 10 can move more smoothly during the process of changing the angle.

[0034] Figure 4 Shown Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the axial structure of the push-pull mechanism. Figure 5 Shown Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the push-pull mechanism without the push rod. Please continue to refer to Figures 2 to 5 In this embodiment, the power source 211 can be a motor. The motor is connected to the push rod 212 through a worm 213 and a worm wheel 214. The push rod 212 is driven to move by the rotation of the motor.

[0035] More specifically, the push-pull mechanism 20 further includes a driving gear 215 and a rack 216. The driving gear 215 is concentrically arranged with the worm gear 214. The rack 216 meshes with the driving gear 215 and moves in the forward and backward directions under the drive of the driving gear 215. The push rod 212 is connected to the rack 216. Furthermore, the diameter of the driving gear 215 can be smaller than the diameter of the worm gear 214 to reduce the speed of the motor.

[0036] Please continue to refer to the figure Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The push-pull mechanism 20 also includes a fixing plate 217 for fixing on the support member 30. The power source 211 is fixed on the fixing plate 217. A support column 2171 is provided on the fixing plate 217. A strip hole 2161 is formed on the rack 216. The rack 216 can be slidably mounted on the support column 2171 through the strip hole 2161, so that the rack 216 can be movably arranged on the fixing plate 217 forward and backward.

[0037] More specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of support columns 2171 may be provided on the same fixed plate 217 , and the plurality of support columns 2171 are arranged in sequence at the same height to facilitate the stability of the rack 216 during movement.

[0038] In order to facilitate layout and installation, in this embodiment, in a plurality of push-pull mechanisms 20, the racks 216 are installed at the same height, while the push rods 212 are installed at different heights on the racks 216. Figure 2 For example, the height of the push rod 212 on the rack 216 of the first push-pull mechanism 22 is higher than the height of the push rod 212 on the rack 216 of the second push-pull mechanism 23. This makes the height of the hinge point between the push rod 212 in the first push-pull mechanism 22 and the instrument panel body 10 higher than the height of the hinge point between the push rod 212 in the two second push-pull mechanisms 23 and the instrument panel body 10.

[0039] Figure 6 The figure shows a system block diagram of the angle adjustable instrument structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 6 As shown, the angle-adjustable instrument structure also includes a controller 41, and at least one of an angle sensor 42 for sensing a seat angle and a height sensor 43 for sensing a seat height. The controller 41 is electrically connected to the angle sensor 42, the height sensor 43 and the power source 211. The controller 41 is used to control the power source 211 to adjust the inclination angle of the instrument panel body 10 according to the angle of the seat sensed by the angle sensor 42 and / or the height of the seat sensed by the height sensor 43.

[0040] When in use, the controller 41 can automatically adjust the inclination of the instrument panel body 10 according to the height of the seat and / or the angle of the seat to adapt to changes in the driver's viewing angle.

[0041] In summary, in the present invention, by providing a plurality of push-pull mechanisms 20 and making the heights of the hinge points between the push-pull mechanisms 20 and the instrument panel body 10 different, the instrument panel body 10 can be tilted forward or backward by controlling the push-pull mechanisms 20 with different hinge heights, thereby adapting the height or angle of structures such as seats and steering wheels, thereby improving driving comfort.

[0042] The utility model also provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned angle-adjustable instrument structure. Regarding other technical features of the vehicle, please refer to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
