Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent automobiles, in particular to an automobile system with replaceable accessories. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, the popularity of intelligent cars continues to increase. For most domestic consumers, choosing an intelligent car for family transportation is a common choice. So when buying an intelligent car, in addition to the good appearance, the configuration is also very important. At present, the intelligent cars on the market will launch different configurations for the same model, and customers can choose models with different configurations according to their own needs and economic conditions. However, once the model is fixed, if you want to upgrade to a higher-configuration model due to changes in usage needs or economic conditions, you have to buy a new car. The biggest difference between smart cars and smart phones is that the iteration speed of mobile phones is fast and the unit price of the goods is cheap. The unit price of smart cars is high, and it is impossible to achieve the same iteration as mobile phones. In addition, there is a problem of depreciation when selling used cars, which will cause a lot of economic losses to car owners. Utility Model Content

Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present application belongs.
[0029] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific implementation manners and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application; as used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or their combinations.
[0030] In this embodiment, standard slots can be reserved in the front and rear of the roof, the front and rear of the vehicle, the front and rear fenders, etc. The same standard slot can be installed with standard accessories produced according to the required technical standards and performance parameters, such as: laser radar, millimeter wave radar, microwave radar, camera, etc. If the standard accessory is a laser radar 100, refer to Figure 2 , the laser radar 100 is distributed in various parts of the vehicle; the standard accessories can be laser radar, or millimeter wave radar, or microwave radar or camera, these accessories are all standard accessories; when the reserved standard slot has no equipment installed, it can be covered with a prefabricated decorative cover to play the role of rectification, beauty, dustproof and waterproof.
[0031] Each standard accessory must be designed and produced in strict accordance with the technical standards and performance parameters set by the vehicle manufacturer. Each standard accessory has a dedicated hardware identifier (Hardware ID) and vendor identifier (Vendor ID). These identifiers are usually unique identifiers for each standard accessory and can help the operating system accurately identify the type and manufacturer information of each standard accessory.
[0032] An automotive system with replaceable parts, reference Figures 1 - 13 , comprising a vehicle body, wherein the front part of the roof, the rear part 5 of the roof, the front part 7, the rear part, the front fender part 4, and the rear fender part 6 of the vehicle body 1 are provided with standard slots 3 for installing standard accessories 31; the standard slots 3 are provided with a plurality of guide slots 35, and one of the guide slots 35 is provided with a lock hole 36, and the lock hole is equipped with a module lock 39;
[0033] The device further comprises a suction-type data socket 33, wherein the suction-type data socket 33 is provided with a positioning hole 331, a data pinhole 332, and two elastic arms 334 on each side, wherein the elastic arms 334 are clamped under the action of the spring 333; the upper end of the elastic arms 334 has curling edges 3341 that are tilted toward both sides, so as to facilitate the insertion of the suction-type data plug 34;
[0034] The inlet data plug 34 is used to be inserted into the inlet data socket 33 . The inlet data plug 34 is provided with a positioning pin 341 , a data pin 342 , and a triangular protrusion 344 on each side.
[0035] Taking the standard slot on the roof as an example, the hardware installation steps are as follows:
[0036] Remove the roof standard slot decorative cover 32, then you can see the roof standard slot 3 and the power and data suction type data socket 33 of the roof standard slot. The standard slot is provided with multiple guide grooves 35, one of which is provided with a lock hole 36, and a module lock 39 is installed on the rear side of the lock hole (when the vehicle is driving or locked with a remote control key, the lock pin 391 of the module lock 39 extends and inserts into the lock hole 36 on the standard accessory 31 to prevent the standard accessory from being lost or falling when driving or parking). The standard slot is equipped with a circle of rubber ring 38 to prevent rainwater from entering the device when the device or decorative cover is installed.
[0037] The suction-type data socket 33 has a positioning hole 331, a data pinhole 332, and an elastic arm 334 on each side. The elastic arm 335 is used as a rotation axis and is clamped under the action of the spring 333. The upper end of the elastic arm 334 has a curling edge 3341 that is tilted to both sides to facilitate the insertion of the plug.
[0038] The suction type data plug 34 is used to be inserted into the suction type data socket 33, and has a positioning pin 341, a data pin 342, and a triangular protrusion 344 on both sides.
[0039] The standard accessory 31 includes a suction-type data plug 34 , a card slot 37 , and a lock hole 36 .
[0040] The standard accessory 31 is inserted into the standard slot 3 on the roof. First, the card slot 37 is aligned with the guide slot 35 to play a role in positioning and stabilizing. After alignment, the standard accessory 31 is pressed in forcefully. Before the suction data plug 34 is inserted into the suction data socket 33, the positioning pin 341 is first aligned with the positioning hole 331 to prevent the data pin from being bent downward. When the suction data plug 34 is continuously pressed in, the side edge 345 of the suction data plug 34 enters the curling edge 3341 of the suction data socket 33, overcomes the force of the spring 333, and pushes the elastic arm 334 along the inclined surface of the triangular protrusion 344 to both sides. When the curling edge 3341 of the elastic arm 334 passes the tip position 346 of the triangular protrusion 344, the elastic arm 334 is clamped inwardly under the force of the spring 333, sucking the standard accessory 31 into place, ensuring that the plug is firmly installed and not easy to loosen. Moreover, under the action of the elastic arm 334, the standard accessory 31 is tightly pressed into the standard slot 3, and the rubber ring 38 is also pressed tightly, so that the sealing performance is better.
[0041] If the roof standard slot standard accessory 31 is a hot-swappable device, the roof standard slot standard accessory 31 can be directly inserted into the roof standard slot 3. If the roof standard slot standard accessory 31 is not a hot-swappable device, the vehicle must be turned off before the roof standard slot standard accessory 31 is inserted into the roof slot 3. At the same time, the roof standard slot standard accessory power and data suction data plug 34 is inserted into the roof standard slot power and data suction data socket 33 to achieve the installation of the device hardware.
[0042] For the removal of the standard accessory 31 or the decorative cover 32, when the vehicle is parked and unlocked, you can use a suction cup 9 to suck on the surface of the device and pull it out forcefully, or insert a special plastic prying piece 8 into the edge gap. After prying out a larger gap, then pull it out forcefully.
