In this specification, the schematic descriptions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0029] The solution of this application provides a central control panel assembly, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, which includes a display area. The display area is provided with a combined instrument part 1 and a multimedia part 2, and a connection component 3 is arranged between the combined instrument part 1 and the multimedia part 2;

[0030] The central control panel assembly further includes a housing, and the housing includes a front cover plate 4 and a rear cover plate 5. The front cover plate 4 is an integral panel, and the front cover plate 4 and the rear cover plate 5 enclose an internal area. The combined instrument part 1, the multimedia part 2 and the connection component 3 are located in the internal area.

[0031] By arranging the connection component 3 to physically connect the combined instrument part 1 and the multimedia part 2, a stable connection between the combined instrument part 1 and the multimedia part 2 is realized. At the same time, it is not necessary to adopt an integrated process to manufacture the combined instrument part 1 plus the multimedia part 2, effectively controlling the manufacturing cost and reducing the manufacturing difficulty. Moreover, the separately arranged combined instrument part 1 and multimedia part 2 are convenient for separate maintenance or replacement, further reducing the cost.

[0032] In an implementation manner, there is an installation gap between the combined instrument part 1 and the multimedia part 2. The connection component 3 includes a positioning plate 31 located between the display area and the rear cover plate 5 and a reinforcing plate 32 that at least fills part of the installation gap.

[0033] By arranging the positioning plate 31 and the reinforcing plate 32, it is ensured that the combined instrument part 1 and the multimedia part 2 are respectively fixed to the rear cover plate 5. While the reinforcing plate 32 connects the combined instrument part 1 to the multimedia part 2, it also further improves the connection stability between the separately arranged combined instrument part 1 and multimedia part 2 and the rear cover plate 5. And the reinforcing plate 32 connects the two positioning plates 31 on both sides between the combined instrument part 1 and the multimedia part 2, further improving the connection stability of the two positioning plates 31. At the same time, by arranging the reinforcing plate 32 to fill the installation gap and adding connection points in the installation gap, it is possible to make full use of this space to arrange other components, improving the space utilization rate of the central control panel assembly.

[0034] In an implementation manner, the positioning plate 31 is connected to the back surfaces of the combined instrument part 1 and the multimedia part 2, the reinforcing plate 32 is respectively connected to the side walls of the combined instrument part 1 and the multimedia part 2, and the positioning plate 31 is connected to the reinforcing plate 32.

[0035] The back sides of the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2 (the sides facing the rear cover plate 5) are fixedly connected to the positioning plate 31 and the rear cover plate 5 respectively through fasteners 6. The two sides of the positioning plate 31 are adapted to the shapes of the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2, as well as the rear cover plate 5, and can provide protection for the back sides of the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2. The further connection between the positioning plate 31 and the reinforcing plate 32 located in the installation gap improves the overall stability of the connection assembly 3 and is beneficial to strengthening the positioning stability of the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2.

[0036] In one embodiment, the positioning plate 31 is provided with a bending section 33, and the bending section 33 extends along the side walls of the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2 to be connected to the reinforcing plate 32.

[0037] Alternatively, the two sides of the reinforcing plate 32 are provided with bending sections 33, and the two bending sections 33 respectively extend along the side walls of the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2 to be connected to the positioning plate 31. Both of the above two methods can achieve the connection between the positioning plate 31 and the reinforcing plate 32, and a suitable connection method can be selected according to the actual processing conditions and installation convenience.

[0038] In addition, the positioning plate 31 and the reinforcing plate 32 can also be integrally formed, which further improves the overall structural stability and reduces the assembly steps.

[0039] In one embodiment, the front cover plate 4 is provided with a mobile phone holder 7, and the mobile phone holder 7 is fixed to the reinforcing plate 32. This improves the space utilization rate of the center control panel assembly.

[0040] In one embodiment, both the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2 are provided with display screens, and the front cover plate 4 is provided with clearance areas 41 for the two display screens to be exposed, and an installation gap is formed between the two clearance areas 41. It can be understood that the installation gap is formed between the two display screens, and the reinforcing plate 32 is arranged here, which is beneficial to further improving the installation force strength of the center control panel assembly on the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2 and enhancing the overall structural stability.

[0041] In a preferred implementation manner of the center control panel assembly, the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2 are arranged side by side. This is beneficial to the visual appearance, and is convenient for determining the installation positions of the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2, and at the same time is convenient for the quick connection installation and connection stability of the connection assembly 3 between the two.

[0042] In a preferred implementation manner of the center control panel assembly, the front cover plate 4 is a piano lacquer panel. The piano lacquer panel is provided as the front cover plate 4 outside the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2, so that the combined instrument unit 1 and the multimedia unit 2 form an integral body in appearance, improving the user's visual experience, and enhancing the aesthetics of the center control panel while reducing costs.
