[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the following will be described clearly and completely in combination with the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0021] The co-pilot expansion screen of the preferred embodiment of the utility model is as follows Figure 1 As shown, see Figure 2, a protective shell 1 is mounted on the central control screen of the car, and a sub-screen 2 is arranged on the right side of the protective shell 1.

The connecting frame is connected to the reinforcement bracket of the original car through buckles or double-sided tape.
[0022] The secondary screen kit is designed to be detachably connected, which allows users to easily install or remove the secondary screen as needed. When the secondary screen is not needed, it can be quickly removed from the vehicle for easy maintenance or transfer between different vehicles. The design of the protective case not only fixes the secondary screen, but also provides additional protection to prevent collisions and scratches during daily use. The hollow design in the middle maintains the functionality of the screen and the usability of touch, while the opening in the lower part facilitates the connection of power or other auxiliary devices. The bracket is fixed to the vehicle, providing a stable base for the secondary screen. This fixing method can effectively reduce vibration and shaking during driving, ensuring the readability of the screen content and the accuracy of operation. This design makes the secondary screen kit suitable for a variety of models and environments. Whether it is a personal vehicle or a commercial vehicle, it can be simply adapted and used through the corresponding bracket and protective case. By designing the secondary screen to be connected to the side of the protective case of the car's central control screen, it not only saves space in the car, but also allows the position of the secondary screen to be adjusted according to the user's line of sight and usage habits, improving the efficiency of space use and the user's operating comfort. By setting two connectors in different orientations (first connector and second connector), this design allows the secondary screen to be adjusted and connected accordingly according to the orientation of the car's central control screen (horizontal or vertical). Such flexibility allows the device to adapt to more usage scenarios, such as different viewing angles or operating requirements.
[0023] Another embodiment of the present invention is Figure 3As shown, this embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that the bracket 3 includes a second base 33 fixed on the secondary screen 2, and an adjustment component 34 arranged on the second base 33, and the end of the adjustment component 34 is connected to a support plate 35, and the adjustment component 34 includes two damping hinged adjustment arms. The bracket is arranged on the side away from the protective shell, and the support plate is made to fit the car center console by adjusting the support arm to support the secondary screen. Some cars are not provided with a reinforcement bracket, so the utility model can provide stable support for the secondary screen through the design of the adjustment component and the support plate. The existence of the adjustment arm allows the support plate to be flexibly adjusted to a position that fits closely with the car center console, thereby ensuring that the secondary screen remains fixed during driving and reducing vibration and shaking caused by vehicle movement. The adjustment component in the design makes the bracket not only limited to use in a specific model or configuration, but can be widely adapted to a variety of vehicle environments. Users can adjust the support plate according to personal needs and vehicle specific conditions to ensure the optimal installation position of the secondary screen. The combination of the adjustment arm and the support plate not only provides strong support, but also helps optimize the use of space in the car. The secondary screen can be integrated into the vehicle's central control area more compactly, without taking up extra space, while also improving the overall aesthetics and functionality of the interior. The adjustment arm is equipped with a damping mechanism, which makes the adjustment process smoother and more precise, effectively absorbing vibrations and reducing noise, ensuring stability and comfort during use.
[0024] Another embodiment of the present invention is Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that it also includes a connecting component for connecting the auxiliary screen 2 and the protective shell 1, and the connecting component includes a first connecting member 5 respectively arranged on the right side of the protective shell 1, and a second connecting member 6 on the upper side. When the car's central control screen is in a horizontal screen state, the auxiliary screen 2 is detachably connected to the right side of the protective shell 1 through the first connecting member 5. When the car's central control screen is in a vertical screen state, its original upper side is converted to the right side. At this time, the auxiliary screen 2 is detachably connected to the right side of the protective shell 1 through the second connecting member 6.
[0025] When the user needs to change the screen orientation, the secondary screen can be switched between the first and second connectors through a simple removal and reinstallation process, without the need for complex tools or cumbersome setup. This design significantly improves the user experience and makes the transition process quick and convenient. Each connector is designed to ensure the stability and security of the secondary screen when connected, preventing it from falling off or being damaged due to vibration or operation during use. This is especially important for devices in mobile environments, such as inside a vehicle. The connection options in different directions make the layout of the device more diverse and efficient, and users can optimize the placement of the device based on specific space and usage needs.
[0026] like Figure 4As shown, the first connecting member 5 includes a first fixing plate 51 arranged on the right side of the protective shell 1, and a first rotating shaft 52 arranged on the left side of the auxiliary screen 2, and the second connecting member 6 includes a second fixing plate 61 arranged on the upper side of the protective shell 1, and a second rotating shaft 62 arranged on the upper side of the auxiliary screen 2; the first fixing plate 51 is provided with a plurality of vertically distributed first inclined grooves 53, and the first inclined grooves 53 are inclined upward away from the side of the protective shell 1, and the second fixing plate 61 is provided with a plurality of horizontally distributed second inclined grooves 63, and the first inclined grooves 53 and the second inclined grooves 63 have the same inclination angle; the first The inclined groove 53 and the second inclined groove 63 are used to accommodate the first rotating shaft 52 and the second rotating shaft 62 respectively. The ends of the first rotating shaft 52 and the second rotating shaft 62 are both provided with a sliding rod 7. The first inclined groove 53 and the second inclined groove 63 are respectively provided with sliding grooves 8 on the side walls to which the two ends of the sliding rod 7 are slidably connected. The first inclined groove 53 is provided with a first installation opening 55 corresponding to the sliding rod 7 at the end away from the protective shell 1, and the second inclined groove 63 is provided with a second installation opening 65 corresponding to the sliding rod 7 at the end close to the protective shell 1. The first installation opening 55 and the second installation opening 65 are parallel to the side of the protective shell 1. The second connecting member can also be provided on the lower side of the protective shell, which is specifically determined according to the rotation direction of the screen. When the second connecting member is provided on the lower side, an opening corresponding to the lower side of the protective shell is provided in the middle of the second fixing plate to facilitate the installation of the protective shell.
[0027] The working principle is as follows: when the central control screen of the car is in a horizontal screen state, the secondary screen is detachably connected to the right side of the protective shell through the first connecting piece. At this time, the sliding rod of the first rotating shaft is located at the end of the sliding slot where it is located away from the first mounting opening. When the central control screen of the car needs to be rotated 90 degrees, the secondary screen is rotated first so that the central control screen of the car and the secondary screen are attached to each other, and at this time, the sliding rod of the second rotating shaft is located in the second mounting opening. During the degree rotation of the central control screen of the car, due to the inclination of the first inclined slot and the second inclined slot, the sliding rod on the first rotating shaft will move downward along the sliding slot under the influence of gravity until it falls into the first mounting opening, and the sliding rod on the second rotating shaft will also move downward along the sliding slot and slide from the second mounting opening to the other end of the sliding slot. After the screen is rotated, the first rotating shaft can be detached from the first sliding slot through the first mounting opening. At this time, the secondary screen can be rotated with the sliding rod on the second rotating shaft as the axis to unfold it.
[0028] Similarly, when the car's central control screen needs to be converted from a vertical screen state to a horizontal screen state, the secondary screen is rotated first so that the car's central control screen is attached to the secondary screen, and at this time, the sliding rod of the first rotating shaft is located in the first mounting port. During the 90-degree rotation of the car's central control screen, due to the inclination of the first inclined groove and the second inclined groove, the sliding rod on the second rotating shaft will move downward along the sliding groove under the influence of gravity until it falls into the second mounting port, and the sliding rod on the first rotating shaft will also move downward along the sliding groove and slide from the first mounting port to the other end of the sliding groove. After the screen rotation is completed, the second rotating shaft can be detached from the first sliding groove through the second mounting port. At this time, the secondary screen can be rotated with the sliding rod on the first rotating shaft as the axis to unfold it.
[0029] Therefore, the utility model realizes the smooth rotation of the central control screen and the secondary screen of the car between the horizontal and vertical screens through the design of the slide bar and the bevel groove. When the screen needs to be rotated 90 degrees, the slide bar moves along the inclined bevel groove to ensure that the conversion process is smooth and reliable. With the help of the bevel groove and the slide bar structure, the screen is automatically locked when it is rotated to the appropriate position. When the slide bar reaches the end of the bevel groove, it naturally falls into place and locks, ensuring that the screen is stable and fixed in the correct position. When the slide bar reaches the installation port of the bevel groove, it can be disengaged from the slide groove. Users can easily switch between horizontal and vertical screens without using additional tools or performing complicated operations. This design greatly reduces the complexity of operation and improves the user experience. The combination of the shaft and the bevel groove not only facilitates rotation, but also enhances the stability of the overall structure and reduces wear and damage caused by frequent operation. This design allows the secondary screen to be unfolded in different directions, so that users can adjust the position of the secondary screen as needed to display more content or better share screen information with others.
[0030] In this embodiment, the first fixing plate 51 and the second fixing plate 61 are connected to the protective shell through a telescopic member. The design of the telescopic member allows the position and angle of the secondary screen to be adjusted under different usage environments and requirements while providing stable support. The telescopic member can be extended or shortened as needed, which not only increases the physical stability of the device, but also ensures the best match of the sight angle. Through the use of telescopic members, the secondary screen can be installed in different directions (such as the upper side or the right side) and adjusted according to the user's perspective and usage habits. This adaptability enables the device to provide a better user experience in a variety of environments, such as adjusting according to the needs of the driver or passengers when used inside a vehicle. The design of the telescopic member makes it simple and quick to adjust the position of the secondary screen. The user can easily manually adjust the length of the telescopic rod without using any tools, thereby quickly changing the position of the screen.
[0031] The bracket and the secondary screen can be connected by double-sided tape or by magnetism. There are two magnetic points on the secondary screen, which are used to connect to the bracket in landscape and portrait mode respectively. By using double-sided tape or magnetic connection, the connection and removal process between the bracket and the secondary screen becomes very quick and convenient. Users can easily install or remove the secondary screen as needed without using any tools, which greatly improves the flexibility of the device and the user's convenience of operation. There are two magnetic points on the secondary screen, corresponding to the landscape and portrait modes respectively. This design allows the secondary screen to easily switch between the two modes as needed, while ensuring that the connection in each mode is stable and reliable.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the first rotating shaft 52 and the second rotating shaft are both rotatably connected to the sliding rod 7 thereon, so that the sliding rod can slide in the sliding groove. The first rotating shaft 52 and the second rotating shaft 62 are both hinged to the auxiliary screen 2, and the rotation angle after the hinge is less than 15 degrees, which is used to ensure that the auxiliary screen can be attached to the central control screen of the car after rotation, so that the first sliding shaft\second rotating shaft can fall into the first installation port\second installation port.
[0033] Through innovative design, the utility model provides a highly flexible and powerful secondary screen connection system suitable for mobile environments such as vehicles. It includes a detachable bracket, a car central control screen with a hollow protective shell, and a secondary screen connected to the side, and supports fast switching between horizontal and vertical screen modes through connectors in two directions (first connector and second connector). This design not only ensures stability and safety during use, but also greatly improves user experience and adaptability of the device by simplifying the operation process. Whether it is viewing angle adjustment, space optimization or daily use of the device, this solution can effectively meet the high requirements for versatility and flexibility in modern mobile environments.
[0034] It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone can derive other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, all technical solutions that are the same or similar to those of the present application fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
