The design features disclosed in the present invention, such as size, direction, positioning and shape, are determined according to specific applications and use environments.

[0028] In the following description, when referring to absolute position qualifiers, such as the terms "front", "back", "top", "bottom", "left", "right", etc., or relative position qualifiers, such as the terms "above", "below", "upper", "lower", etc., or direction qualifiers, such as "horizontal", "vertical", etc., unless otherwise specified, the indicated element numbers are given according to the direction of the drawing.

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. In these drawings, the same reference numerals refer to the same or equivalent elements of the present invention in all the drawings.

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 3 , shows a hidden vehicle interface 100 according to an embodiment of the utility model, which can be installed in the vehicle interior to serve the purpose of reserving an interface, and can also maintain the consistency and aesthetics of the overall design of the vehicle when not in use, without leaving a large hole on the interior to affect the aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0031] The hidden vehicle interface 100 includes a base 1 , a movable cover 2 and two elastic elements 3 .

[0032] The base 1 includes an opening 10 recessed inward from the outer surface of the base. The opening 10 can be set in the middle area of ​​the base 1. The shape of the opening 10 is a rounded square. Of course, it can also be set to other shapes according to needs, such as square, rectangle, circle, oval, rounded rectangle or other custom shapes.

[0033] The movable cover plate 2 may be a thin plate, and its shape is consistent with the shape of the opening 10 of the base 1, and in this example is also a rounded square. The movable cover plate 2 covers the opening 10 and is arranged to be able to rise and fall relative to the opening 10 along its depth direction.

[0034] Two elastic elements 3 are provided at the bottom of the base 1, which are springs in this example, but can also be replaced by springs. The springs are long strips in shape, and the middle of the springs is fixed to the bottom of the base 1 by screws. The two ends of the springs are tilted to elastically support the movable cover 2. When the two ends of the springs are pressed downward, an upward rebound force is generated.

[0035] Optionally or additionally, the bottom of the base 1 also includes two grooves 4 for accommodating the two spring pieces. The two grooves 4 are embedded in the bottom of the base 1 in parallel. The grooves 4 are also in the shape of long strips, with a length slightly larger than the length of the spring piece after being flattened, and a width slightly larger than the width of the spring piece.

[0036] Optionally or additionally, the bottom of the base 1 further includes a magnet 5 for guiding the installation of functional components, wherein the magnet 5 is located between the two grooves 4 and embedded in the bottom of the base 1 .

[0037] Optionally or additionally, the inner wall of the opening 10 of the base 1 may be provided with a socket 6 or a buckle for installing other functional components.

[0038] Since the bottom of the movable cover plate 2 is elastically supported by two springs, when the movable cover plate 2 is pressed, the movable cover plate 2 can move downward together with the springs to expose the socket 6 in the inner wall of the opening 10 for installing other functional components, and can return to the original position under the action of the elastic force of the springs after the pressing force disappears.

[0039] from Figure 2 and 3 It can be seen that in order to prevent the movable cover 2 from being pushed out of the opening 10 of the base 1 by the spring sheet, the base 1 is configured to include four base limit blocks 15, and the four base limit blocks 15 are respectively arranged at the four rounded corners of the base 1 and close to the opening edge 12 of the opening 10. For example, the base limit blocks 15 can be formed by cutting the inner walls at the four rounded corners of the opening 10.

[0040] Correspondingly, the movable cover plate 2 also includes four cover plate limiting blocks 25 , which are respectively arranged at four rounded corners of the movable cover plate 2 , and each cover plate limiting block 25 corresponds to a base limiting block 15 .

[0041] At each rounded corner of the movable cover plate 2 , each cover plate limiting block 25 extends from the cover plate edge 22 toward the back and outer side of the movable cover plate 2 , forming a shape similar to a hook claw.

[0042] When the hidden vehicle interface 100 needs to be used, the user can press the movable cover plate 2 , and the movable cover plate 2 can move between an initial position and an end position relative to the base 1 after being pressed.

[0043] In the initial position, the movable cover 2 is elastically supported by two springs and raised to be flush with the outer surface of the base 1. At this time, the cover limit block 25 of the movable cover 2 and the base limit block 15 of the base 1 are pressed against each other to prevent the movable cover 2 from being pushed out of the opening 10 of the base 1 by the two springs.

[0044] At the final position, the movable cover plate 2 presses the two spring sheets and descends to the bottom of the opening 10 . At this time, the two spring sheets are accommodated in the two grooves 4 at the bottom of the base 1 .

[0045] When the movable cover 2 moves from the initial position to the final position, the inner wall of the opening 10 of the base 1 and the outer surface of the movable cover 2 form a receiving space, which can be used to receive items or install other functional components.

[0046] When the movable cover 2 returns from the terminal position to the initial position, the accommodation space gradually becomes smaller until it disappears. Therefore, when the hidden vehicle interface 100 is not used, the consistency and aesthetics of the overall interior design of the vehicle can be maintained without leaving a large hole on the interior decoration to affect the aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0047] Optionally or additionally, in order to make the hidden vehicle interface 100 more consistent and aesthetically pleasing with the overall design of the vehicle interior, the outer surface of the movable cover 2 can be covered with a decorative layer, such as leather or fabric, especially leather or fabric with the same texture as the vehicle interior material.

[0048] Optionally or additionally, in order to enable the hidden vehicle interface 100 to provide more functions, the movable cover 2 may be provided with a power supply interface or a data interface 50 (see Figure 4 ).

[0049] refer to Figure 4 , shows an interior decoration component 200 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, which includes the hidden vehicle interface 100 described above.

[0050] The outer surface of the interior trim 200 is provided with an opening to accommodate the movable cover plate 2 of the hidden vehicle interface 100. The size and shape of the opening on the outer surface of the interior trim 200 are consistent with the movable cover plate 2 of the hidden vehicle interface 100 so as to completely surround the movable cover plate 2. The base 1 of the hidden vehicle interface 100 is installed inside the interior trim 200 (not shown).

[0051] Optionally or additionally, in order to make the hidden vehicle interface 100 more consistent and aesthetically pleasing with the overall design of the vehicle interior, the outer surface of the movable cover 2 can be covered with a decorative layer, such as leather or fabric, especially leather or fabric with the same texture as the vehicle interior material. Preferably, the outer surface of the movable cover 2 has the same color as the outer surface of the interior trim 200.

[0052] When the hidden vehicle interface 100 of the interior trim 200 is not used, the movable cover 2 is in the initial position, at which time the movable cover 2 is flush with the outer surface of the interior trim 200, thereby maintaining the consistency and aesthetics of the overall appearance design of the interior trim 200.

[0053] It is worth noting that, in addition to the advantage of maintaining the consistency and aesthetics of the overall appearance design of the interior trim 200, it also has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation, especially saving the user's operating steps.

[0054] Specifically, existing interior decoration parts with vehicle-mounted interfaces often use baffles to cover the interfaces. When the interfaces need to be used, users first need to manually open the baffles before using them. And when the interfaces are finished, users also need to manually close the baffles.

[0055] According to the interior decoration part 200 of the utility model, when the hidden vehicle interface 100 of the interior decoration part 200 needs to be used, the user only needs to press the object or other functional components against the movable cover plate 2, and the movable cover plate 2 will move toward the inside of the opening 10 of the base 1 under the action of pressure together with the spring piece inside the hidden vehicle interface 100 until it reaches the final position.

[0056] Moreover, after use, the movable cover plate 2 will automatically return to the initial position under the action of the elastic force of the spring sheet, and the process does not require any operation by the user.

[0057] refer to Figure 5 The hidden vehicle interface 100 of the interior decoration component 200 of the present invention can be used to fix an external display device 60, for example.

[0058] In addition, the present invention also relates to a vehicle comprising at least one interior trim component as described above.
