Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of electronic product accessories, and particularly relates to a receiving device suitable for an in-vehicle folding screen. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, new energy vehicles are generally popular with large-sized screens installed. However, in a carriage with limited space, the large-sized screen has a large volume, which easily occupies the passenger's sitting space, affects the riding experience, and also causes a certain blockage to the driver's line of sight. Therefore, engineers consider applying the folding screen technology to in-vehicle screens. The in-vehicle screen can extend out of the receiving cavity and unfold for use; when not in use, the in-vehicle screen folds and retracts into the receiving cavity for storage.

[0003] Existing in-vehicle folding screen storage devices generally include a receiving cavity with an opening formed on one side and a hanging curtain made of an elastic material. The hanging curtain is used to block the opening of the receiving cavity. The folding screen assembly, driven by a power mechanism, passes through the opening in a folded state to retract into or extend out of the receiving cavity. When the folding screen assembly extends out of the receiving cavity, the folding screen assembly pushes aside the hanging curtain and drives the hanging curtain to flip outward; when the folding screen assembly retracts into the receiving cavity, the hanging curtain naturally hangs down to block the opening and prevent dust from falling into the receiving cavity.

[0004] However, in the actual use process, the following defects easily exist in the prior art:

[0005] 1. There is a lack of guiding and restraining for the display screen itself. The display screen remains extended or retracted into the receiving cavity in a folded state, and the display screen is easily deformed under the influence of external forces (such as gravity). Therefore, the problem that the display screen cannot accurately pass through the opening will occur.

[0006] 2. When the display screen extends out of or retracts into the receiving cavity, it will inevitably come into contact with the hanging curtain. That is to say, friction is likely to be generated between the display screen and the hanging curtain, which hinders the movement of the display screen and further increases the load of the power mechanism; under accidental touch or the inertia formed by sudden braking of the vehicle, the hanging curtain is very easy to open inward, resulting in the opening of the receiving cavity being exposed, and the probability of dust and other foreign objects falling into the receiving cavity is relatively high. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an improved receiving device suitable for an in-vehicle folding screen.

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A receiving device suitable for an in-vehicle folding screen, which includes a receiving seat and an opening and closing assembly. The receiving seat is formed with a receiving groove that extends backward from the front end and matches the folding screen. The opening and closing assembly includes an end plate provided at the front end of the receiving seat and having an open mouth for the folding screen to enter and exit, a door plate movably connected to the end plate and matching the open mouth, and a driving component. The open mouth is connected to the receiving groove, and the folding screen extends through the open mouth and extends or retracts along the extending direction of the receiving groove. The driving component includes a driving wheel, one or more driven wheels, and a transmission belt that sequentially bypasses the driving wheel and the driven wheels. The transmission belt has a connecting section that extends along the moving direction of the door plate. The door plate is fixedly connected to the connecting section and opens or closes the open mouth synchronously with the transmission of the transmission belt.

[0010] According to a specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present invention, the plane where the front end opening of the receiving groove is located is arranged parallel to the plane where the open mouth is located. Here, it is convenient for the movement of the folding screen and prevents interference.

[0011] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present invention, the receiving seat includes a seat bottom plate and two seat side plates arranged side by side at intervals in the left-right direction on the seat bottom plate. Each seat side plate is recessed backward from the front end to form a sliding groove, and the receiving groove is formed between the left and right sliding grooves.

[0012] According to a specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present invention, the door plate is arranged on the inner wall of the end plate and reciprocates along the width direction of the open mouth. Here, the door plate is built-in to improve the simplicity of the external structure and the aesthetics.

[0013] Preferably, two sliding rails are provided on the inner wall of the end plate on the opposite sides in the length direction of the open mouth. The two sliding rails respectively extend along the width direction of the open mouth, and the door plate is slidably connected to the two sliding rails correspondingly from the opposite sides. Here, the opening and closing movement path of the door plate is short, which is convenient for installation and implementation in a narrow space.

[0014] Preferably, two plugging grooves are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the door plate at intervals along the extending direction of the sliding rails. Two sliding blocks corresponding to the two plugging grooves are respectively provided on the two sliding rails. The two sliding blocks on each side are correspondingly inserted into the two plugging grooves and slide along the sliding rails synchronously with the movement of the door plate.

[0015] Preferably, a groove extending outward from the inner wall surface is formed on the end plate, the open mouth is located at the bottom of the groove, and the door plate is movably arranged in the groove. Here, the movement area of the door plate is limited to prevent the door plate from excessive displacement.

[0016] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present invention, a connection module is fixedly provided on one side of the door plate. A channel matching the connecting section is formed in the connection module, and the connecting section passes through the channel and is relatively fixed to the channel.

[0017] Preferably, engaging teeth that cooperate with each other are respectively provided on one side surface of the channel and the corresponding side surface of the connecting section. Herein, the movement of the door panel is achieved through gear transmission, and the transmission is reliable and stable.

[0018] Specifically, a guiding groove extending along the length direction of the connecting section is formed on the other side surface of the channel, and the connecting section is located in the guiding groove. Herein, the stability of the connecting section of the transmission belt is improved through the guiding groove.

[0019] Preferably, the driving component further includes a base, wherein two connecting ears spaced apart along the movement direction of the door panel are formed on the base, there are two driven wheels which are correspondingly rotatably connected to the two connecting ears, and the transmission belt between the two driven wheels forms a connecting section, and the connection lines between the driving wheel and the two driven wheels form a triangle.

[0020] Specifically, an adjusting groove extending along a direction perpendicular to the connecting section is further formed on the base, and the driving wheel can be adjusted along the adjusting groove towards or away from the connecting section and fixed on the base. Herein, it is convenient to adjust the surface tension of the transmission belt to match the wear degree of the transmission belt and extend the service life.

[0021] Due to the implementation of the above technical solutions, the utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0022] The prior art lacks the guiding and constraining of the display screen itself. When the display screen is in the folded state, it remains extended or retracted into the receiving cavity. The display screen is prone to deformation under the influence of external forces (such as gravity). Therefore, there will be a problem that the display screen cannot accurately pass through the opening. When the display screen extends or retracts into the receiving cavity, it inevitably comes into contact with the hanging curtain. That is to say, it is easy to generate frictional force between the display screen and the hanging curtain, which hinders the movement of the display screen and further increases the load on the motor. Under the influence of accidental touch or inertia caused by sudden braking of the vehicle, the hanging curtain is very easy to open inward, resulting in the opening of the receiving cavity being exposed, and the probability of foreign objects such as dust falling into the receiving cavity is relatively high. However, the present application conducts an overall design on the receiving device applicable to the vehicle-mounted folding screen, skillfully solving the deficiencies and defects of the prior art. After adopting this receiving device, when opening the door panel, through the cooperation of the driving wheel and the driven wheel, the driving belt is driven to drive. The door panel fixed to the connecting section of the driving belt moves synchronously and opens the opening. The folding screen extends or retracts along the extension direction of the receiving groove through the opening. When closing the door panel, again through the cooperation of the driving wheel and the driven wheel, the driving belt is driven in the reverse direction, so that the door panel is reset and the opening is closed. Therefore, compared with the prior art, on the one hand, based on the cooperative transmission of the driving wheel, the driven wheel and the driving belt, the door panel automatically opens or closes the opening, thus avoiding contact with the folding screen, ensuring the smooth extension or retraction of the folding screen, and at the same time greatly improving the sealing degree of the door panel to the opening and reducing the probability of foreign objects entering the receiving seat. On the other hand, the movement of the folding screen is guided and constrained by the receiving groove, ensuring the accurate extension or retraction of the folding screen. In addition, the structure is simple and reliable, which is convenient for installation and implementation in the narrow compartment space. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the accommodating device applicable to an in-vehicle folding screen involved in this embodiment includes an accommodating seat A and an opening / closing assembly B.

[0038] Specifically, the accommodating seat A includes a seat bottom plate A0 and two seat side plates A1 arranged side by side at intervals along the left-right direction on the seat bottom plate A0. Each seat side plate A1 is recessed backward from the front end to form a sliding groove A10, and an accommodating groove A11 is formed between the left and right sliding grooves A10. The accommodating groove A11 extends backward from the front end of the accommodating seat A and matches the folding screen P in the folded state.

[0039] In this example, the opening / closing assembly B includes an end plate 1, a door plate 2 and a driving component 3 arranged at the front end of the accommodating seat A.

[0040] Specifically, an open opening 10 for the folding screen to enter and exit is formed on the end plate 1, where the open opening 10 is connected to the receiving groove A11. The folding screen P extends through the open opening 10 along the extending direction of the receiving groove A11 to protrude or retract. As for the power mechanism for driving the folding screen P in the folded state to protrude or retract, it is a conventional telescopic driving member, which will not be elaborated here; the door panel 2 is movably connected to the end plate 1 and matches the open opening 10.

[0041] For convenience of implementation, the plane where the front end opening of the receiving groove A11 is located is arranged parallel to the plane where the open opening 10 is located; the door panel 2 is arranged on the inner wall of the end plate 1 and is reciprocally moved along the width direction of the open opening 10; two slide rails g are provided on the inner wall of the end plate 1 on the opposite sides in the length direction of the open opening 10, where the two slide rails g respectively extend along the width direction of the open opening 10, and the door panel 2 is correspondingly slidably connected to the two slide rails g from the opposite sides.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, two insertion slots 20 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the door panel 2 at intervals along the extending direction of the slide rail g, and two sliding blocks k corresponding to and matching the two insertion slots 20 are respectively provided on the two slide rails g, where the two sliding blocks k on each side are correspondingly inserted into the two insertion slots 20 and slide along the slide rail g synchronously with the movement of the door panel 2.

[0043] Meanwhile, a groove 11 extending outward from the inner wall surface is formed on the end plate 1, the open opening 10 is located at the bottom of the groove 11, and the door panel 2 is movably arranged in the groove 11. Here, the moving area of the door panel is limited to prevent the door panel from excessive displacement.

[0044] In this example, the driving component 3 includes a base 30, a driving wheel 31, one or more driven wheels 32, and a transmission belt 33 that sequentially bypasses the driving wheel 31 and the driven wheels 32. The transmission belt 33 has a connecting section 330 extending along the moving direction of the door panel 2. The door panel 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting section 330 and opens or closes the open opening 10 synchronously with the transmission of the transmission belt 33.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the base 30 is arranged on the side close to the door panel 2 and fixed on the seat bottom plate A0. Two connecting ears 300 are formed on the base 30 at intervals along the moving direction of the door panel 2. There are two driven wheels 32 which are correspondingly rotatably connected to the two connecting ears 300, and the transmission belt 33 between the two driven wheels 32 forms the connecting section 330. The connection line between the driving wheel 31 and the two driven wheels 32 forms a triangle.

[0046] Meanwhile, an adjustment groove 301 extending along a direction perpendicular to the connecting section 330 is formed on the base 30. The driving wheel 31 can be adjusted along the adjustment groove 301 towards or away from the connecting section 330 and fixed on the base 30. That is to say, the motor for driving the driving wheel 31 is connected to the adjustment groove 301 through a bolt member. When the bolt member is loosened, the motor and the driving wheel 31 can be adjusted towards or away from the connecting section 330; after the adjustment is completed, the bolt member is tightened to fix the motor and the driving wheel 31 on the base 30.

[0047] In addition, a connection module m is fixedly provided on one side of the door panel 2. A channel t matching the connecting section is formed in the connection module m, and the connecting section 330 passes through the channel t and is relatively fixed to the channel t.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, engaging teeth c that are relatively matched are respectively provided on one side surface of the channel t and the corresponding side surface of the connecting section 330. A guiding groove t0 extending along the length direction of the connecting section 330 is formed on the other side surface of the channel t, and the connecting section 330 is located in the guiding groove t0.

[0049] In summary, after adopting this accommodating device, when the door panel is opened, through the cooperation of the driving wheel and the driven wheel, the transmission belt is driven to move. The door panel fixed to the connecting section on the transmission belt moves synchronously and the open opening is opened. The folding screen extends or retracts through the open opening along the extending direction of the accommodating groove; when the door panel is closed, again through the cooperation of the driving wheel and the driven wheel, the transmission belt is driven to move in the reverse direction, so that the door panel is reset and the open opening is closed. Therefore, compared with the prior art, on the one hand, based on the cooperative transmission of the driving wheel, the driven wheel and the transmission belt, the door panel automatically opens or closes the open opening, thereby avoiding contact with the folding screen, ensuring the smooth extension or retraction of the folding screen, and at the same time greatly improving the sealing degree of the door panel to the open opening and reducing the probability of foreign objects entering the accommodating seat; on the other hand, the movement of the folding screen is guided and restricted by the accommodating groove to ensure the accurate extension or retraction of the folding screen. In addition, the structure is simple and reliable, which is convenient for installation and implementation in a narrow carriage space; on the third hand, the door panel is built-in to improve the simplicity of the external structure and the aesthetics; on the fourth hand, the opening and closing movement path of the door panel is short, which is convenient for installation and implementation in a narrow space. On the fifth hand, the movement of the door panel is realized through gear transmission, and the transmission is reliable and stable; on the sixth hand, through the adjustability of the driving wheel, it is convenient to adjust the surface tension of the transmission belt to match the wear degree of the transmission belt and extend the service life; on the seventh hand, through the cooperation of the front end opening of the accommodating groove and the open opening on the end plate, it is convenient for the movement of the folding screen and prevents interference.
