Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive parts, in particular to a vehicle-mounted flip assembly and an automotive seat. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing intelligence of automobiles, electronic interfaces are provided in many places on the vehicle to facilitate passengers to use electronic devices. Generally, a flip assembly is configured at the electronic interface. When the electronic interface needs to be used, the flip can be opened from the electronic interface; when the electronic interface does not need to be used, the flip shields the electronic interface, ensuring the aesthetics and preventing sundries from entering the electronic interface.
[0003] In the existing vehicle-mounted flip assemblies, a locking mechanism is provided on the flip to ensure that the flip can be locked when the electronic interface is not in use. When the electronic interface needs to be used, the plug-in member unlocks the locking mechanism, and the flip can be turned away from the electronic interface. Specifically, the magnet on the plug-in member approaches the magnet of the locking mechanism, and under the action of magnetic force, the locking mechanism is unlocked. However, the magnet of the locking mechanism is likely to affect the use of some communication devices and electronic devices, and some solutions have the problem of slow response speed. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the above deficiencies existing in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a vehicle-mounted flip assembly with fast response speed and convenient use and an automotive seat.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is to provide a vehicle-mounted flip assembly, including:
[0006] An installation main body, on which an electronic interface is configured;
[0007] A flip, rotatably arranged at the electronic interface, and the flip has a shielding position state and an inward turning position state. When the flip is in the shielding position state, the flip shields the electronic interface; a suction structure is provided on the flip;
[0008] A locking mechanism, arranged on the flip, including a locking member, a magnetic control switch and an electromagnet. The locking member is movably arranged on the flip and can lock the flip at the electronic interface or unlock the flip; the electromagnet and the magnetic control switch are both arranged on the locking member and are connected to each other, and the magnetic control switch can control the conduction or disconnection of the electromagnet;
[0009] When the magnetic control switch is conducted and controls the conduction of the electromagnet, the electromagnet attracts the suction structure, so that the locking member moves towards the suction structure and unlocks the flip.
[0010] Further, the attracting structure is configured as an iron block.
[0011] Further, a first torsion spring is provided between the locking member and the flip cover, and the acting force of the first torsion spring on the locking member causes the locking member to have a tendency to move away from the attracting structure.
[0012] Further, when the locking member is in the locking position, the locking member can lock the flip cover at the electronic interface; when the locking member is in the unlocking position, the locking member releases the locking of the flip cover;
[0013] When the magnetic control switch is turned off, the electromagnet is in a power-off state, and the torsion of the first torsion spring can keep the locking member in the locking position; when the magnetic control switch is turned on and the electromagnet is in a conducting state, the electromagnet attracts the attracting structure, causing the locking member to overcome the torsion of the first torsion spring and move towards the unlocking position, compressing the first torsion spring.
[0014] Further, when the electromagnet is in a power-off state, there is no mutual acting force between the electromagnet and the attracting structure; when the electromagnet is in a conducting state, the suction force between the electromagnet and the attracting structure is greater than the torsion of the first torsion spring.
[0015] Further, the locking member is slidably arranged on the flip cover to switch between the unlocking position and the locking position.
[0016] Further, a second torsion spring is provided between the flip cover and the mounting body, and the acting force of the second torsion spring on the flip cover causes the flip cover to have a tendency to move towards the shielding position state;
[0017] When the flip cover moves to the inner flip position state, the second torsion spring is compressed.
[0018] Further, the magnetic control switch is configured as a normally open reed switch.
[0019] Further, when the flip cover is in the shielding position state and the locking member locks the flip cover, bringing the plug-in block with a magnet close to the flip cover can turn on the magnetic control switch, and then turn on the electromagnet.
[0020] The technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve its technical problems is to further propose an automotive seat, including the above-mentioned vehicle-use flip cover assembly.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0022] In the present utility model, when the electronic interface is not in use, the magnetic control switch is in an open state, the electromagnet is not conducting, and the locking member locks the flip cover at the electronic interface, preventing foreign objects from entering the electronic interface and ensuring high aesthetics. The first torsion spring can keep the locking member in the locked state. When the electronic interface needs to be used, the connector with a magnet approaches the flip cover, causing the magnetic control switch to conduct and the electromagnet to conduct. A magnetic force is generated between the electromagnet and the attracting structure, causing the locking member to move towards the side close to the attracting structure and reach the unlocking position, releasing the lock on the flip cover. The plug-in member can then be inserted into the electronic interface, and the electronic interface can be used normally. As the flip cover is turned inwards, the magnetic control switch disconnects again, the electromagnet is in an open state, and the magnetism disappears. That is, there is no magnetic field before unlocking and when using the electronic interface, ensuring that it will not affect the normal use of the electronic device. And a magnetic field is generated as soon as electricity is applied, with a rapid response and high unlocking efficiency of the flip cover. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present utility model.
[0038] As Figures 1 - 6 shown, the vehicle-mounted flip assembly of this embodiment can be applied to the center console, armrest, vehicle seat, etc. The vehicle-mounted flip assembly mainly includes: a mounting body 1, a flip 2, and a locking mechanism 3.
[0039] The mounting body 1 is configured with an electronic interface 10 thereon, which can be used by users when using electronic devices. A face cover is also provided on the mounting body 1 to ensure aesthetics. For the convenience of manufacturing, the mounting body 1 can be assembled from multiple components.
[0040] The flip cover 2 is rotatably arranged at the electronic interface 10 through a rotating shaft, and the flip cover 2 has a shielding position state and an inward turning position state. When the flip cover 2 is in the shielding position state, the flip cover 2 shields the electronic interface 10; when the flip cover 2 is pushed by the plug-in part and switched to the inward turning position, the electronic interface 10 can be used normally. A suction structure 20 is arranged on the flip cover 2, and the suction structure 20 is configured as an iron block. When the electromagnet 32 is not energized, there is no mutual force between the iron block and the electromagnet 32, and there is no magnetic field, which will not affect the normal use of surrounding electronic devices. A second torsion spring 120 is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the flip cover 2, and the second torsion spring 120 is arranged between the flip cover 2 and the installation main body 1. During use, the acting force of the second torsion spring 120 on the flip cover 2 makes the flip cover 2 tend to move to the shielding position state; when the flip cover 2 moves to the inward turning position state, the second torsion spring 120 is compressed. When the plug-in part is pulled out from the electronic interface 10, the torsion force of the second torsion spring 120 enables the flip cover 2 to reset to the shielding position state.
[0041] As Figures 3 - 6 shown, a locking mechanism 3 is arranged on the back side of the flip cover 2. The locking mechanism 3 includes a locking part 30, a magnetic control switch 31, an electromagnet 32 and a first torsion spring 33. The locking part 30 is movably arranged on the flip cover 2. Specifically, the locking part 30 is slidably arranged on the back side of the flip cover 2 left and right, and the locking part 30 can lock or unlock the flip cover 2 at the electronic interface 10. The electromagnet 32 and the magnetic control switch 31 are both arranged on the locking part 30. Preferably, the electromagnet 32 and the magnetic control switch 31 are both detachably clamped and fixed on the locking part 30 and are connected to each other. The magnetic control switch 31 can control the conduction or disconnection of the electromagnet 32. The magnetic control switch 31 of this embodiment is optimally configured as a normally open reed switch, that is, under normal conditions, it is in a normally open state, making the circuit not conductive, and it can be made conductive only when a magnet approaches, controlling the circuit to conduct. During use, when the magnetic control switch 31 conducts and controls the electromagnet 32 to conduct, the electromagnet 32 attracts the suction structure 20, making the locking part 30 move towards the suction structure 20 to unlock the flip cover 2. After the flip cover 2 is unlocked, it can be switched to the inward turning state to facilitate the use of the electronic interface 10. That is, when the flip cover 2 is in the shielding position state and the locking part 30 locks the flip cover 2, when the plug-in block with a magnet approaches the flip cover 2, the magnetic control switch 31 can be made conductive, and then the electromagnet 32 can be made conductive to further unlock the locking part 30.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first torsion spring 33 is arranged between the locking part 30 and the flip cover 2, and the acting force of the first torsion spring 33 on the locking part 30 makes the locking part 30 tend to move to the side away from the suction structure 20. That is, when the electromagnet 32 is not powered on, there is no attraction between the electromagnet 32 and the suction structure 20, and the first torsion spring 33 can keep the locking part 30 in the locked position state.
[0043] When the locking member 30 is in the locked position, the locking block 301 on the locking member 30 is offset from the notch 11 on the mounting body 1, and the locking member 30 can lock the flip cover 2 at the electronic interface 10; when the locking member 30 is in the unlocked position, the locking block 301 on the locking member 30 is aligned with the notch 11 on the mounting body 1, and the locking member 30 releases the locking of the flip cover 2. When the magnetic control switch 31 is disconnected and the electromagnet 32 is in the powered-off state, the torsion force of the first torsion spring 33 can keep the locking member 30 in the locked position. When the magnetic control switch 31 is turned on and the electromagnet 32 is in the conductive state, the electromagnet 32 attracts the attracting structure 20, causing the locking member 30 to overcome the torsion force of the first torsion spring 33 and move towards the unlocked position, and compressing the first torsion spring 33. That is, when the electromagnet 32 is in the powered-off state, there is no interaction force between the electromagnet 32 and the attracting structure 20; when the electromagnet 32 is in the conductive state, the suction force between the electromagnet 32 and the attracting structure 20 is greater than the torsion force of the first torsion spring 33.
[0044] Generally speaking, when the electronic interface 10 is not in use, the magnetic control switch 31 is in the off state, the electromagnet 32 is not conductive, and the locking member 30 locks the flip cover 2 at the electronic interface 10 to prevent foreign objects from entering the electronic interface 10 and ensure high aesthetics. The first torsion spring 33 can keep the locking member 30 in the locked state. When the electronic interface 10 needs to be used, the connector with a magnet approaches the flip cover 2, causing the magnetic control switch 31 to turn on and the electromagnet 32 to conduct. The electromagnet 32 and the attracting structure 20 generate a magnetic force, causing the locking member 30 to move towards the side close to the attracting structure 20 and move to the unlocked position to release the locking of the flip cover 2. The connector can be inserted into the electronic interface 10, and the electronic interface 10 can be used normally. As the flip cover 2 is turned inwards, the magnetic control switch 31 is disconnected again, the electromagnet 32 is in the off state, and the magnetism disappears. That is, there is no magnetic field before unlocking and when using the electronic interface 10, ensuring that it will not affect the normal use of the electronic device. And a magnetic field is generated immediately when powered on, with a rapid response and high unlocking efficiency of the flip cover 2.
[0045] The working principle of the flip cover assembly for this vehicle is as follows:
[0046] Under normal conditions, the flip cover 2 is in the shielding position, shielding the electronic interface 10. At this time, the locking member 30 is in the locked position, locking the flip cover 2 at the electronic interface 10, and the flip cover 2 cannot be opened, that is, the electronic interface 10 cannot be used. When the electronic interface 10 needs to be used, a plug-in member with a magnet (such as an ipad conversion bracket) approaches the flip cover 2. The magnet causes the magnetic control switch 31 to close and conduct, and then causes the electromagnet 32 to conduct. The electromagnet 32 generates a magnetic field, which attracts the suction structure 20 (i.e., an iron block) on the flip cover 2, driving the locking member 30 to move towards the iron block side, so that the two locking blocks 301 on the locking member 30 are aligned with the two notches 11 on the installation main body 1, that is, the locking member 30 moves to the unlocked position state. The plug-in member is inserted into the electronic interface 10, and the flip cover 2 can be pushed against, causing the flip cover 2 to switch to the inward-flipping state. After the plug-in member is inserted into the electronic interface 10 in place, the magnet on the plug-in member is far away from the magnetic control switch 31, so the magnetic control switch 31 will disconnect again, and the electromagnet 32 also disconnects, and the magnetic force disappears. Under the action of the first torsion spring 33, the locking member 30 moves towards the side away from the iron block, but is limited by the inner wall of the installation main body 1 and cannot fully return to the locked position state. When the plug-in member is pulled out from the electronic interface 10, the acting force of the second torsion spring 120 causes the flip cover 2 to rotate outwards and switch to the shielding position state, while the locking member 30, under the torsion of the first torsion spring 33, fully resets to the locked position state, and the locking member 30 locks the flip cover 2 again, and the flip cover 2 cannot be inward-flipped.
