Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application involves the center console, interior system, and cockpit. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, in the cockpit 1000 of the car, a center console 1001 and a dashboard 1002 are usually provided. Figure 1 In a comparative scheme shown, the center console 1001 is integrally connected to the instrument panel 1002 in the length direction, so that the two are visually connected and integrated in the cockpit for the user, which has a better aesthetic appearance for the user.

[0003] However, since the center console 1001 is integrally connected to the instrument panel 1002 in the length direction, the legs of the users serving as the driver and the front passenger in the car cabin will touch the center console 1001, especially for users with larger bodies or longer legs, which will make the users feel cramped and affect the users' sense of space.

[0004] In response to the above problem, in another comparative scheme, the front end of the center console 1001 in the length direction is shortened as a whole, so that there is a certain distance between the front end of the center console 1001 and the dashboard 1002. However, the inventors found that this structure will also affect the user experience, especially the front end position is generally a better position for the driver or passenger in the front row to reach out and put their hands. For example, a cup holder is provided here to facilitate the front row personnel to take and put cups. The overall shortening of the comparative scheme here will make the front row personnel feel uncomfortable using it, affecting the user experience.

[0005] Therefore, the art needs a center console, an interior system, and a cockpit to overcome the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0054] The present application is further explained below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings. More details are elaborated in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can obviously be implemented in a variety of other ways different from this description. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations and deductions based on actual application situations without violating the connotation of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should not be limited by the content of this specific embodiment.

[0055] At the same time, the present application uses specific words to describe the embodiments of the present application. The directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself. In addition, "one embodiment", "an embodiment", and / or "some embodiments" mean a certain feature, structure or characteristic related to at least one embodiment of the present application. Therefore, it should be emphasized and noted that "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" mentioned twice or more in different locations in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, certain features, structures or characteristics in one or more embodiments of the present application can be appropriately combined.

[0056] Although the center console, interior system, and cockpit disclosed in the embodiments of the present application are preferably suitable for automobiles, they are not limited to this. For example, they can be applied to other transportation applications, such as railway trains, ships, and airplanes as long as they are transportation vehicles to which the beneficial effects of the center console, interior system, and cockpit disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be applied.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the cockpit 1000 takes a car cockpit as an example, and includes an interior system 100 . The interior system 100 may include, for example, a center console 10 located in the middle, and a dashboard 20 located in front of the center console 10 .

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the center console 10 is in the first structure 101 at this time, and the front end of the extended functional platform 21 in the open position 211 is connected to the instrument panel 20, so that the extended functional platform 21 can provide functions such as a cup holder, and a through space 30 is provided between the extended functional platform 21 and the plane where the bottom 12 of the center console body is located, so that the legs of the front seat passengers or drivers can pass freely without being bumped. Preferably, as Figure 2As shown, the functional surface 210 is a curved surface, wherein the center console 10 is the first structure 101, and the front end of the functional surface 210 of the extended functional platform 21 located in the open position 211 is connected to the instrument panel 20. The curved surface here means that it does not strictly extend along the length direction of the center console body 1, but extends obliquely as shown in the figure, and the functional surface itself can be a curved surface. When the functional surface 210 is obliquely extended or is a curved surface itself, the front end of the functional surface 210 of the extended functional platform 21 located in the open position 211 is connected to the instrument panel 20, and the overall visual effect is better, so that the interior system and the cockpit have more visual beauty.

[0059] When the center console 10 is the second structure 102, there is a gap in the length direction between the extended functional platform 21 located at the folded position 212 and the instrument panel 20 to provide the above-mentioned through space, or the extended functional platform 21 is folded into the interior of the center console body 1, then it is the space between the front end 11 of the center console body and the instrument panel 20 that provides the above-mentioned through space, so that the leg space of the front passengers or the driver can be further widened when the extended functional platform 21 is not needed, thereby further improving the sense of space.

[0060] refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the specific structure of the center console 10 is described in detail below.

[0061] In some embodiments, the center console 10 includes a center console body 1 and an extended functional portion 2. The center console body 1 here is a component that connects the center console 10 to the ground of the car cabin.

[0062] The extended functional part 2, as the name implies, is a component that can extend forward from the center console body 1 and can provide one or more functions of the center console, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the functional surface 210 of the extended functional part 2 has an opening of a cup holder 2111, and / or a wireless charging functional surface 2112, and / or an operation panel 2113. The wireless charging functional surface 2112 is an area where electronic devices can be wirelessly charged. Its structure is generally that a wireless charging coil is arranged inside the extended functional part 2. The operation panel 2113 can be a case for operating various components, for example, it can be an operation interface for adjusting the air conditioning temperature, the direction of the air outlet, etc., but it is not limited to this. As shown in the figure, the wireless charging functional surface 2112 and the operation panel 2113 can be integrated in the same area or at different positions of the functional surface 210. The extended functional part 2 includes an extended functional platform 21 and an opening and closing component 22. The extended functional platform 21 is openably connected to the front end 11 of the center console body through the opening and closing component 22, that is, there is an open (open) or closed (folded) position between the extended functional platform 21 and the front end 11 of the center console body.

[0063] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the center console 10 has Figure 3 The first structure 101 shown, or Figure 4 The second structure 102 is shown. In the first structure 101, the extended functional table 21 of the extended functional part 2 is located at the open position 211, extending forward from the front end 11 of the center console body in the length direction, so that the functional surface 210 of the functional table faces the use direction. The use direction means that the direction of the functional surface 210 at this time enables the functions of the functional surface 210 to be used, for example Figure 3 As shown, the functional surface 210 is oriented so that the opening of the cup holder 2111 faces upward, and the cup can be supported by the cup holder 2111. Figure 4 As shown, in the second structure 102, the functional surface 210 is oriented so that the opening of the cup holder 2111 faces forward, and the cup cannot be supported by the cup holder, that is, it is in a non-use orientation. Figure 3 As shown, a through space 30 is provided between the extended functional platform 21 and the plane where the bottom 12 of the center console body is located, that is, the floor of the cabin. The through space allows the legs of the front row passengers, such as the driver and / or the front passenger, to pass through the space below the extended functional platform 21, that is, the legs of the front row passengers can pass through the through space 30 in the left and right directions without being bumped, so that the front row passengers have a better sense of space. The extended functional platform 21 is switched between the open position 211 and the folded position 212 by the opening and closing component 22. Figure 4 As shown, in the second structure 102, the extension function platform 21 of the extension function part 2 is located at the folded position 212, folded at the front end 11 of the center console body. The specific folded position can be as follows Figure 4 It is shown as being located outside the front end wall 110 of the center console body, but it is not limited thereto and may also be located inside the front end wall 110 of the center console body, that is, the internal space of the center console body 1 .

[0064] In the first structure 101 of the center console 10, the length of the center console 10 is the maximum length of the center console, and the maximum length is from the front end of the extended functional platform 21 in the open position 211 to the rear end of the center console body 1; at this maximum length, the front end of the extended functional platform 21 is actually connected to the instrument panel 20, or connected at most of the user's visual angles, so that the two are visually connected to the user in the cockpit, which has a better aesthetic appearance for the user. In the second structure 102 of the center console 10, the length of the center console 10 is the minimum length of the center console, and the minimum length is the sum of the length of the center console body 1 and the length of the extended functional platform 21 extending out of the center console body 1 when it is in the folded position 212, for example Figure 4As shown, the minimum length at this time is the sum of the thickness of the center console body 1 and the extended functional table 21. It can be understood that when the extended functional table 21 is located inside the center console body 1 in the folded position, the minimum length ends with the length of the center console body 1. At the minimum length, the length gap between the center console 10 and the dashboard 20 is the largest, the user's leg movement space is larger, and the sense of space is better.

[0065] Continue to refer Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the specific structure of the opening and closing assembly 22 can be that the opening and closing assembly 22 includes a connecting rod assembly 4, including a first connecting rod 41 and a second connecting rod 42; the front end 11 of the center console body is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 41, and the extended functional platform 21 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 41 through the second connecting rod 42; when the extended functional platform 21 moves from the folded position 212 to the open position 211, the first connecting rod 41 rotates forward around the front end 11 of the center console body, and the extended functional platform 21 flips upward around the rotating connection portion 421 between the second connecting rod 42 and the first connecting rod 41. The forward and upward mentioned above can also be described as rotating counterclockwise in the figure, so that a supporting structure can be formed by the extended functional platform 21, the front end wall 110 of the center console body, and the connecting rod assembly 4, for example, it can be Figure 3 The triangular supporting structure shown has the beneficial effect of adopting the structure of the above opening and closing component 22, that the extended functional table 21 can be folded vertically to reduce the external space occupied when in the folded position 212, and the structure is stable when in the open position, so as to stably support objects such as cups and wireless charging electronic devices.

[0066] It can be understood that the opening and closing assembly 22 is not limited to Figures 3 to 5 The structure shown in the figure may also be, for example, in the second structure 102, the extension function platform 21 of the extension function part 2 is located at the folded position 212, folded inside the center console body 1, instead of Figure 4 The structure shown as being located outside the center console body 1 and being folded inside the center console body 1 may be a pop-up structure, such as a structure similar to a pop-up cup holder, which can further reduce the external space occupied when in the folded position 212. However, for a general embodiment, the center console body 1 also provides a storage space 13 as one of the storage spaces in the cabin, such as Figure 3 As shown, using Figure 3The structure of the opening and closing component 22 shown can avoid reducing the storage space 13, while if a pop-up extension functional platform 21 structure is adopted, more storage space 13 will be occupied. Since when the connecting rod assembly 4 is used as the opening and closing component 22, the extension functional platform 21 can be arranged vertically in the folded position, and the external space occupied when folded is already small, generally speaking, the beneficial effect of saving the external folding space by adopting the pop-up structure is difficult to offset the negative effect of occupying the storage space 13. Therefore, it is preferred to adopt the connecting rod assembly 4. However, if the requirement for the storage space 13 is not high, and in particular, the space between the center console and the instrument panel when folded as large as possible is required, a pop-up structure can be selected.

[0067] Continue to refer Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the opening or closing of the extended functional platform 21 can be realized by the operator pressing a button, and the central console body 1 is provided with a button 5, which is used as an operation interface for operating the opening and closing component 22 to switch between the open position 211 and the closed position 212, and is connected to the opening and closing component 22. The connection here can be a mechanical connection, that is, the button 5 is connected to the opening and closing component 22 through a transmission mechanism, etc., so that the operating force is directly converted into a driving force to drive the opening or closing of the extended functional platform 21, or an electrical connection, that is, after the button is operated, the control unit sends a control signal to drive a driving member such as a motor to drive the opening or closing of the extended functional platform 21 according to the force signal of the button being pressed, and it is not limited to this.

[0068] In summary, the beneficial effects of the center console, interior system, and cockpit introduced in the above embodiments include but are not limited to: by providing an extended functional part that can be opened relative to the front end of the center console body, the extended functional part can provide a functional surface of the extended functional table for passengers to use when in the open position, which conforms to the user's usage habits, and the extended functional part can also provide a through space, so that the passengers' legs are not easily touched, and the sense of space is better. The setting can switch the extended functional table to a folded position to further provide space for the legs of the front row passengers to move, thereby enhancing the user experience.
