[0030] In the specific embodiment provided by the present disclosure, a sub-instrument panel is provided. Refer to Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the passenger dashboard includes: a dashboard body 1, a flexible screen 2, and a fixing member. Among them, the dashboard body 1 has a storage cavity 101. The flexible screen 2 includes a fixed section 201 and a movable section 202 connected by a hinge. The bottom plate of the fixed section 201 is fixedly connected to the dashboard body 1, and the movable section 202 covers the storage cavity 101; the fixing member is arranged on the dashboard body 1 to fix the movable section 202.

[0031] In some embodiments, the flexible screen 2 not only serves as an electronic switch but also can display various vehicle information, such as navigation, vehicle speed, fuel consumption, etc., making the driving information more intuitive and easy to read, improving the driving experience of the driver. At the same time, the flexible screen 2 can adjust the interface style according to the user's preference and display different interfaces and functions.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, the flexible screen 2 is installed on the dashboard body 1. By providing an electronic switch on the flexible screen 2, a large number of physical switches located at the position of the gear lever 8 are cancelled, making the vehicle interior clean and beautiful. At the same time, a storage cavity 101 is provided on the dashboard body 1. The fixed section 201 of the flexible screen 2 is fixedly connected to the dashboard body 1, and the movable section 202 of the flexible screen 2 can be rotatably connected to the dashboard body 1 through a hinge. At this time, the movable section 202 can act as a cover for the storage cavity 101 to shield the inside of the storage cavity 101, protecting the privacy of the driver and passengers and keeping the interior of the vehicle clean and beautiful; when the vehicle is driving on a bumpy road, the items placed in the storage cavity 101 are easily jolted out of the storage cavity 101. At this time, the movable section 202 acting as the cover of the storage cavity 101 can effectively prevent the items in the storage cavity 101 from being jolted out. At the same time, the fixing member arranged on the dashboard body 1 can effectively fix the movable section 202 so that the movable section 202 can stably cover the storage cavity 101.

[0033] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a border 4 is also provided on the dashboard body 1. The border 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the dashboard body 1 to form an embedding groove 401 for accommodating the flexible screen 2. Among them, the setting of the border 4 has the following effects: (1) The border 4 can protect the edge of the flexible screen 2 and avoid the edge of the flexible screen 2 from being worn, that is, reduce the direct contact between the flexible screen 2 and the external environment and extend the service life of the screen; (2) The use of the border 4 can simplify the installation and disassembly process of the flexible screen 2, facilitating maintenance and replacement; (3) Accommodating the flexible screen 2 through the embedding groove 401 can provide a clean boundary for the flexible screen 2 and enhance the overall visual effect; (4) The border 4 can select materials and colors that are coordinated with other components in the vehicle interior to enhance the consistency of the interior.

[0034] In some embodiments not shown, the fixing member includes a rotating plate. One end of the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the frame 4. A rubber block in the shape of a frustum is provided at the end of the rotating plate facing away from the frame 4. By rotating the rotating plate, the rubber block can abut against the upper surface of the movable section 202, thereby achieving the fixation of the movable section 202.

[0035] In some embodiments, since the flexible screen 2 is received in the embedding groove 401, in order to facilitate the driver and passenger to conveniently lift the movable section 202 covering the storage cavity 101, the driving unit 5 can be used to assist the driver and passenger. The driving unit 5 includes a driving member and an abutting member fixedly connected. The driving member is arranged on the instrument panel body 1. The driving member is used to drive the abutting member to abut against the bottom plate of the movable section 202. When the driver and passenger operate the fixing member to cancel the fixation of the fixing member on the movable section 202 (taking the rotating plate as an example, the driver and passenger rotate the rotating plate so that the rubber block in the shape of a frustum no longer contacts the upper surface of the movable section 202), the driving member can drive the abutting member to give an upward thrust to the bottom plate of the movable section 202, so that the movable section 202 can tilt upward, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the driver and passenger to lift the movable section 202 covering the storage cavity 101.

[0036] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the driving member includes a spring 501, and the abutting member includes a connecting column 502, a limiting plate 503 and a rubber cushion block 504. One end of the connecting column 502 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 503, and the other end is fixedly connected to the spring 501. A rubber cushion block 504 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting plate 503 facing away from the connecting column 502. A limiting groove 4011 for receiving the limiting plate 503 is provided on the bottom surface of the embedding groove 401, and a receiving groove 4012 for receiving the spring 501 is provided on the bottom surface of the limiting groove 4011. The end of the spring 501 facing away from the connecting column 502 abuts against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 4012. When the fixation of the fixing member on the movable section 202 is cancelled, the spring 501 gives an upward jacking force to the connecting column 502, so that the limiting plate 503 and the rubber cushion block 504 move upward synchronously, and then the movable section 202 is jacked up by the rubber cushion block 504, thereby facilitating a person to lift the movable section 202 and take the items placed in the storage cavity 101.

[0037] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1As shown, in order to further facilitate the driver and passengers to lift the movable section 202 of the flexible screen 2, an opening 402 is provided on one side of the frame 4 close to the gear lever 8. That is, when the rubber cushion block 504 jacks up the movable section 202 upward, there is a gap between the movable section 202 and the embedding groove 401. The driver and passengers can contact the side wall surface of the movable section 202 of the flexible screen 2 through the opening 402, so as to lift the movable section 202 more conveniently. At the same time, the number of the openings 402 can be one, and the opening 402 is arranged on the side of the frame 4 close to the driver's seat, or the number of the openings 402 is two, and the two openings 402 are respectively arranged on the side of the frame 4 close to the driver's seat and the side of the frame 4 close to the co-driver's seat.

[0038] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to prevent the spring 501, the connecting column 502, the limiting plate 503 and the rubber cushion block 504 from disengaging from the instrument panel body 1, a baffle 6 for limiting the limiting plate 503 can be provided in the limiting groove 4011. When the spring 501 drives the limiting plate 503 to move upward, the upper surface of the limiting plate 503 abuts against the lower surface of the baffle 6, so as to limit the limiting plate 503. At the same time, a through hole 601 for allowing a part of the rubber cushion block 504 to extend out of the receiving groove 4012 is formed on the baffle 6. When the spring 501 drives the limiting plate 503 to move upward, the limiting plate 503 drives the rubber cushion block 504 to move upward synchronously, and the rubber cushion block 504 partially extends out of the limiting groove 4011 through the through hole 601 on the baffle 6, so that the movable section 202 of the flexible screen 2 is tilted up.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting ear plate 602 is further provided on the baffle 6, and a connecting groove 4013 for receiving the connecting ear plate 602 is provided on the bottom surface of the embedding groove 401. The connecting groove 4013 is communicated with the limiting groove 4011. A connecting hole for allowing a screw to pass through is provided on the connecting ear plate 602, and a threaded hole for connecting the screw is provided on the bottom surface of the connecting groove 4013. The connecting ear plate 602 is fixed by the screw, so that the baffle 6 is fixed above the limiting plate 503. At the same time, in order to improve the connection strength of the baffle 6, the number of the connecting ear plates 602 is two, and the two connecting ear plates 602 are arranged oppositely along the length direction of the baffle 6.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 As shown, in order to extend the service life of the flexible screen 2, a rubber cushion layer 7 corresponding to the rubber cushion block 504 can be provided on the bottom plate of the movable section 202. When the movable section 202 covers the storage cavity 101, the rubber cushion block 504 abuts against the rubber cushion layer 7.

[0041] In some embodiments not shown, the driving member includes a torsion spring, and the abutting member includes an abutting rod. Wherein, a receiving groove for receiving the abutting rod is formed on the bottom surface of the embedding groove 401. A rotating shaft is provided on the abutting rod, and a slot for inserting the rotating shaft is provided on the side wall surface of the receiving groove. The torsion spring is installed on the rotating shaft, and the torsion spring provides elastic force for the abutting member so that one end of the abutting rod can extend out of the receiving groove and abut against the bottom plate of the movable section 202 covering the storage cavity 101.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the fixing member includes a magnet 3 embedded in the bottom surface of the embedding groove 401. Wherein, the movable section 202 can be stably covered above the storage cavity 101 by the magnetic attraction of the magnet 3. At this time, the driver and passengers can contact the side wall surface of the movable section 202 of the flexible screen 2 through the opening 402 provided on the frame 4, so as to lift the movable section 202 of the flexible screen 2.

[0043] In some embodiments, a large number of physical switches at the position of the gear lever 8 are cancelled by providing an electronic switch on the flexible screen 2, so that the interior of the vehicle is tidy and beautiful, and the layout of the electronic switch can be set on the flexible screen 2 according to the personal habits of the driver and passengers.
