Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle interior components. More specifically, the utility model relates to a split-type sub-instrument panel and a vehicle including such a split-type sub-instrument panel. Background Art

[0002] The sub-instrument panel (also known as the center console) disposed between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat of a vehicle, as an important interior part of the vehicle, is usually directly fixed to the vehicle floor and integrates various functional components such as a shift interface, a driving mode switching interface, cup holders, a storage box, an armrest, a human-machine interaction button or platform, and an electronic product charging interface. Therefore, the design of the sub-instrument panel is required to ensure both the comfort of passengers and the convenience of use.

[0003] Currently, more and more vehicles are equipped with zero-gravity seats, which improve the comfort of passengers by providing a specific lying posture to reduce the concentration of gravity. However, when the front passenger seat is in the zero-gravity mode, due to changes in height and front-back position, the passengers sitting on this seat often have difficulty in continuing to use the functions of the sub-instrument panel. If the front-back length of the sub-instrument panel is increased to improve this situation, it will affect the rear space of the vehicle. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a split-type sub-instrument panel that can continue to meet the use needs of passengers when the seat state changes and does not affect the rear space of the vehicle.

[0005] To this end, in a first aspect of the utility model, there is provided a split-type sub-instrument panel, which is configured to be arranged between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat of a vehicle and includes a driver's sub-instrument panel component and a front passenger's sub-instrument panel component that are independent of each other. Among them, the front passenger's sub-instrument panel component is configured to be fixedly connected to the front passenger seat so as to be adapted to move with the front passenger seat relative to the driver's sub-instrument panel component.

[0006] According to the above technical concept, the utility model may further include any one or more of the following optional forms.

[0007] In some optional forms, the driver's sub-instrument panel component is configured to be fixedly connected to the driver's seat or the vehicle floor.

[0008] In some optional forms, the front passenger's sub-instrument panel component is configured to be adapted to move back and forth along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle relative to the driver's sub-instrument panel component, and at least a part of the front passenger's sub-instrument panel component is adapted to be stacked with the driver's sub-instrument panel component in the vertical direction of the vehicle.

[0009] In some alternative forms, the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component is configured to be adapted to rotate with the co-pilot's seat relative to the vehicle floor.

[0010] In some alternative forms, the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component includes: a housing configured to be fixedly connected to the co-pilot's seat and defining a cavity with an opening; and a cooler box configured to be adapted to move relative to the cavity from a first storage position where it is received in the cavity towards the rear seats via the opening.

[0011] In some alternative forms, the housing is configured to be fixedly connected to the co-pilot's seat through an L-shaped mounting bracket.

[0012] In some alternative forms, the cooler box is configured to be adapted to move relative to the cavity through a first guide rail set.

[0013] In some alternative forms, the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component further includes a compressor and an evaporator fixedly disposed in the cavity and connected to each other, and is configured to cause the evaporator to contact the metal housing of the cooler box when the cooler box is in the first storage position, and to separate the evaporator from the metal housing when the cooler box leaves the first storage position.

[0014] In some alternative forms, the cooler box is provided with a sealing door, which is opened when the cooler box is in the first storage position to cause the evaporator to contact the metal housing, and is closed when the cooler box leaves the first storage position to separate the evaporator from the metal housing and keep the cooler box sealed.

[0015] In some alternative forms, the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component further includes a drawer configured to be adapted to move relative to the cooler box from a second storage position where it is received in the cooler box towards the rear seats.

[0016] In some alternative forms, the drawer is configured to be adapted to move relative to the cooler box through a second guide rail set.

[0017] In some alternative forms, the split-type lower instrument panel integrates one or more of a shift interface, a driving mode switching interface, a cup holder, a storage box, an armrest, a human-machine interaction button or platform, and an electronic product charging interface.

[0018] A second aspect of the present utility model provides a vehicle, which includes the split-type lower instrument panel according to the first aspect of the present utility model.

[0019] The beneficial technical effects of the split-type lower instrument panel of the present utility model lie particularly in that by dividing the lower instrument panel into two independent components, wherein the co-pilot lower instrument panel component is fixedly connected to the co-pilot seat so as to be able to move synchronously with the co-pilot seat. Therefore, when the state of the co-pilot seat changes (such as being in the zero-gravity mode), the usage requirements of passengers can still be met, and when the co-pilot seat is in the normal mode position, these two components of the lower instrument panel can, for example, save space by means of stacking or the like.

[0040] The elements in the drawings are shown for simplicity and clarity and are not necessarily drawn to exact scale and shape. It should be understood that the drawings are not only used for the explanation and illustration of the present invention, but also help to define the present invention when necessary. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0041] The implementation and use of specific embodiments are discussed in detail below. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments discussed are only illustrative of specific ways of implementing and using the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0042] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms such as "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this specification can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] In this specification and the accompanying drawings, the X direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle V, the Y direction corresponds to the transverse direction of the vehicle V, and the Z direction corresponds to the vertical direction of the vehicle V.

[0044] As Figure 1A and Figure 1B shown, the present utility model relates to a center console CL disposed between the driver's seat 100 and the passenger's seat 200 of the vehicle V. As mentioned above, as an important interior part of the vehicle, the center console CL integrates multiple functional components, including but not limited to a shift interface, a driving mode switching interface, a cup holder, a storage box, an armrest, a human-machine interaction button or platform, and an electronic product charging interface, one or more of them. The main object of the present utility model is to provide a split center console CL to ensure the usage requirements of the passengers on the passenger's seat 200 for the center console CL even when the passenger's seat 200, for example, is a zero-gravity seat and can move back and forth in the X direction.

[0045] The following will describe the preferred embodiments of the split center console CL of the vehicle according to the present utility model with the aid of Figures 2 to 12 to describe.

[0046] As Figures 2 to 5 shown, the split center console CL according to the present utility model includes a driver's side center console component 300 and a passenger's side center console component 400 that are independent of each other. Among them, the driver's side center console component 300 can be fixedly connected to the driver's seat 100 as shown in the illustrated embodiment, or can be fixedly connected to the vehicle floor 500. The passenger's side center console component 400 is fixedly connected to the passenger's seat 200 so as to be able to move with the passenger's seat 200 relative to the driver's side center console component 300, for example, move back and forth in the X direction relative to the driver's side center console component 300.

[0047] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3A and Figure 4As shown, when both the driver's seat 100 and the passenger seat 200 are in the normal mode position, that is, when the passenger seat 200 is in the front end position along the X direction, for example, so as to be substantially aligned with the driver's seat 100 along the Y direction and the backrest is in a substantially vertical position, for example, at this time, at least a part of the passenger side lower instrument panel component 400 can be stacked with the driver's side lower instrument panel component 300 along the Z direction, so as to save the interior space of the vehicle, that is, it can leave a sufficiently large floor space 502 for the passengers of the rear seat 600 to provide convenience. At this time, for example, the driver's side lower instrument panel component 300 located above can provide the functional components of the lower instrument panel CL for both the driver and the passenger at the same time, such as cup holders, storage boxes, armrests, human-computer interaction buttons or platforms, electronic product charging interfaces, etc., while at least a part of the passenger side lower instrument panel component 400 located below is hidden by the driver's side lower instrument panel component 300. It can be understood that the passenger side lower instrument panel component 400 can also be stacked above the driver's side lower instrument panel component 300 at this position to at least partially hide the driver's side lower instrument panel component 300.

[0048] As Figure 3B and Figure 5 shown, when the passenger seat 200 is in the zero-gravity mode position, that is, when the passenger seat 200 moves backward along the X-direction track 501 on the floor 500 relative to the driver's seat 100 and the backrest tilts backward at the same time, the passenger side lower instrument panel component 400 moves backward along the X direction relative to the driver's side lower instrument panel component 300 with the passenger seat 200 to partially occupy Figure 4 the floor space 502 in. At this time, the driver's side lower instrument panel component 300 provides functional components for the driver, such as a shift interface, a driving mode switching interface, a cup holder, a storage box, an armrest, a human-computer interaction button or platform, an electronic product charging interface, etc., while the passenger side lower instrument panel component 400 provides functional components for the passenger, such as a cup holder, a storage box, an armrest, a human-computer interaction button or platform, an electronic product charging interface, etc. In particular, when the passenger seat 200 is in the zero-gravity mode position, since the top surface 401 of the passenger side lower instrument panel component 400 extends backward and is lower in height compared with the top surface 301 of the driver's side lower instrument panel component 300, therefore, the relatively lower top surface 401 of the passenger side lower instrument panel component 400 can just meet the height requirement of the armrest of this zero-gravity seat.

[0049] In addition, it can be understood that in the case where the seat can rotate, the lower instrument panel component fixedly connected to the seat can rotate synchronously with the seat. For example, as Figure 6As shown, due to the fixed connection between the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component 400 and the co-pilot's seat 200, when the co-pilot's seat 200 rotates relative to the vehicle floor 500 to a leisure mode position where the co-pilot passenger faces the door direction, the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component 400 can rotate synchronously with the co-pilot's seat 200 relative to the vehicle floor 500. Similarly, in the case where the driver's lower instrument panel component 300 is fixedly connected to the driver's seat 100, the driver's lower instrument panel component 300 can also rotate synchronously with the driver's seat 100 relative to the vehicle floor 500.

[0050] The fixed connection manner between the seat and the lower instrument panel component is not restrictive. For example, as Figure 7A and Figure 7B shown, the base 302 of the driver's lower instrument panel component 300 is fixedly connected to the base 101 of the driver's seat 100 along the Y direction by a plurality of bolts 700. Also for example, as Figure 8A and Figure 8B shown, the bottom of the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component 400 is fixedly connected to the co-pilot's seat 200 through a substantially L-shaped mounting bracket 202. More specifically, the bottom of the housing 402 of the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component 400 is fixedly connected to the substantially horizontal portion of the mounting bracket 202 along the Z direction by a plurality of bolts 700, and the substantially vertical portion of the mounting bracket 202 is fixedly connected to the base 201 of the co-pilot's seat 200 along the Y direction by a plurality of bolts. It can be understood that rivet connection, welding and other fixing methods can be used to replace bolt connection, as long as sufficient connection strength is satisfied.

[0051] Preferably, the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component 400 of the lower instrument panel CL of the present utility model includes a warming box 410. More specifically, as Figure 9A 、 Figure 9B and Figure 12 shown, the housing 402 of the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component 400 defines a cavity 403 having an opening facing rearward, and the warming box 410 can move relative to the cavity 403 through, for example, a first guide rail set 415 from a first storage position where it is substantially entirely received in the cavity 403 as shown in Figure 9A toward the rear seat 600 through the opening of the cavity 403, so as to conveniently provide functions for the rear passengers when the co-pilot's seat 200 is in the normal mode position.

[0052] Also preferably, as Figure 9A 、 Figure 9B and Figure 12 shown, the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component 400 further includes a drawer 420, and the drawer 420 can move relative to the warming box 410 through, for example, a second guide rail set 421 from as Figure 9AThe one shown is generally moved from the second storage position entirely received in the incubator 410 towards the rear seat 600 to facilitate the rear passengers to put in or take out items. It can be understood that the specific structures of the first guide rail group 415 and the second guide rail group 421 are not restrictive, as long as the relative movement of the two components can be achieved, and the first guide rail group 415 and the second guide rail group 421 can also be replaced by similar functional components such as slide blocks and chutes, or gears and racks.

[0053] In addition, as Figure 10A , Figure 10B , Figure 11A and Figure 11B shown, the co-pilot's lower instrument panel component 400 further includes a compressor 413 and an evaporator 414 fixedly arranged in the cavity 403 of the outer shell 402 and connected to each other (the refrigeration pipe of the compressor 413 is connected to the evaporator 414). That is to say, the compressor 413 and the evaporator 414 are independent of the incubator 410 and cannot move back and forth relative to the outer shell 402 along with the incubator 410. Optionally, a sealing door 411 is provided at the front end of the incubator 410, and the sealing door 411 is arranged to be opened when the incubator 410 is in the first storage position (as Figure 10A and Figure 10B shown) so that the evaporator 414 contacts the inner metal shell 412 (such as an aluminum shell, and the outside of the shell is usually thermal insulation foam) of the incubator 410 to achieve heat conduction, and is closed when the incubator 410 leaves the first storage position (as Figure 11A and Figure 11B shown) so that the evaporator 414 is separated from the inner metal shell 412 of the incubator 410 and the incubator 410 is kept sealed.

[0054] Since the compressor 413 and the evaporator 414 are fixedly arranged in the cavity 403 of the outer shell 402 independently of the incubator 410, this structure advantageously reduces the weight of the moving parts. It can be understood that the structure of the sealing door 411 is not restrictive. For example, a trigger switch can be set to trigger the opening and closing of the sealing door 411 according to the position of the incubator 410, or it can be designed to have a shape structure that matches the front end of the incubator 410 to automatically open and close the sealing door 411 through physical contact with the incubator 410.

[0055] The technical content and technical features of the present utility model have been disclosed above. However, it can be understood that under the creative concept of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make various changes and improvements to the above-disclosed concept, but all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0056] The description of the above embodiments is illustrative rather than restrictive, and the protection scope of the present utility model is determined by the claims.
