[0020] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustration and explanation of the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0021] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above", "over", "on the upper surface", "upper" etc. can be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature shown in the figure with other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure for the device. For example, if the device in the attached drawing is inverted, a device described as "above" or "over" other devices or structures will then be positioned "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both the orientations of "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and corresponding interpretations are made for the spatial relative descriptions used here.

[0022] A modular display assembly for a racing simulator, the modular display assembly is detachably mounted on the front base cover 1, and the steering wheel of the racing simulator is also mounted on the front base cover 1.

[0023] As Figure 1 shown, a mounting seat 6 is provided on the front base cover 1, and the mounting seat 6 is inserted into the steering wheel of the racing simulator to achieve the mounting of the steering wheel.

[0024] The modular display assembly includes a base 5, a magnetic component, and a display component. A magnetic adsorption interface groove 2 is provided on the base 5, the magnetic component is located in the magnetic adsorption interface groove 2, and the display component and the magnetic component are magnetically connected.

[0025] The display component is used to display information. Preferably, the display component is a display screen 3 and / or an indicator light 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, the magnetic component is a magnet.

[0027] The connection mode between the base 5 and the magnetic component can be a magnetic adsorption connection or a non-magnetic adsorption connection. Specifically, when the base 5 has magnetism, when the base 5 and the magnetic component can attract each other by magnetism, it is a magnetic adsorption connection without other limiting and connecting components. When the base 5 has no magnetism, the magnetic component needs to be connected to the base 5 by relying on limiting or connecting components.

[0028] The base 5 includes a first base portion 51 and a second base portion 52, and the first base portion 51 and the second base portion 52 are fixedly connected together. As Figure 3 and 4As shown, the magnetic interface slot 2 is located at the connection between the first base part 51 and the second base part 52 and is formed after the first base part 51 and the second base part 52 are connected. The top surface D of the second base part 52 is a side wall of the magnetic interface slot 2. The opening of the magnetic interface slot 2 is on a surface K of the first base part 51. The surface K where the opening of the magnetic interface slot 2 is located is not perpendicular to the top surface D of the second base part 52. Preferably, the top surface D of the second base part 52 extends beyond the surface K where the opening of the magnetic interface slot 2 is located.

[0029] When the base 5 and the magnetic component are magnetically connected together, the magnetic component can be inserted into the magnetic interface slot 2 from the opening of the magnetic interface slot 2 and connected together by relying on the attraction between the base 5 and the magnetic component, without setting a limiting component at the opening of the magnetic interface slot 2 to prevent the magnetic component from falling out of the magnetic interface slot 2.

[0030] When the base 5 and the magnetic component are non-magnetically connected, a limiting protrusion is provided at the opening of the magnetic interface slot 2 to limit the magnetic component in the magnetic interface slot 2 and prevent the magnetic component in the magnetic interface slot 2 from falling out. At this time, the opening of the magnetic interface slot 2 is smaller than the magnetic component, that is, the magnetic component cannot be inserted into the magnetic interface slot 2 from the opening. Therefore, when installing the magnetic component, the first base part 51 and the second base part 52 can be separated first. At this time, it is equivalent to moving the side wall of the magnetic interface slot 2 away to form a side wall opening. After inserting the magnetic component into the magnetic interface slot 2 from this side wall opening, the first base part 51 and the second base part 52 are connected together, so that the side wall opening is closed by the second base part 52, and the magnetic component is restricted in the magnetic interface slot 2.

[0031] When the display component is connected to the base 5, the display component is attracted by the magnetic component in the magnetic interface slot 2, and the display component contacts the surface K where the opening of the magnetic interface slot 2 is located. At the same time, the part of the second base part 52 that extends beyond the surface K where the opening of the magnetic interface slot 2 is located forms a support platform, which plays a role in assisting in supporting the display component. In this way, the display component is stably supported on the base 5 and presents an inclined state, which is convenient for the competitors to watch.

[0032] The base 5 is detachably mounted on the front cover 1 of the base to enable the modular display component to be detachably mounted on the front cover 1 of the base. Specifically, a first module interface (not shown in the figure) is provided on the front cover 1 of the base, and a second module interface (not shown in the figure) is provided on the first base portion 51. Both the first module interface and the second module interface can achieve CAN communication and USB communication. The first module interface and the second module interface can be plugged into each other. The first module interface on the front cover 1 of the base is electrically connected to the control system of the racing simulator, and the second module interface on the first base portion 51 is electrically connected to the display component on the base 5. After the first module interface and the second module interface are plugged together, the display component on the base 5 is electrically connected to the control system of the racing simulator.

[0033] In addition, the connection manner between the base 5 and the front cover 1 of the base can also be magnetic connection or other non-magnetic connection. When the base 5 and the front cover 1 of the base are magnetically connected, a magnetic component, designated as the second magnetic component, can be further mounted on the base 5. This second magnetic component can magnetically attract the front cover 1 of the base to enable the base 5 to be adsorbed on the front cover 1 of the base. When the base 5 and the front cover 1 of the base are non-magnetically connected, the base 5 can be connected to the front cover 1 of the base by means of snap connection, threaded connection, etc.

[0034] Finally, it is necessary to state here that: the above embodiments are only used to further illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention in detail, and cannot be construed as a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. Some non-essential improvements and adjustments made by those skilled in the art based on the above content of the present invention all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
