In this embodiment, the mounting base 2 forms an installation cavity 21 with an opening facing the rear of the vehicle, and the side plate 211 is the side wall of the installation cavity 21.

[0051] In one embodiment, there is 1 socket 121. In another embodiment, there are 3 or more than 3 sockets 121, and they are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the vehicle. In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, there are two sockets 121, and they are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the vehicle. Each socket 121 corresponds to an installation cavity 21. That is to say, there are at least two sockets 121 on the instrument panel 1.

[0052] It can be understood that with the setting of at least two sockets 121, the user can increase the splicing area of the table board 412, the number of hooks or the number of cup holders 411 according to actual needs. One of the sockets 121 can also be used alone.

[0053] The plugging and unplugging direction of the above-mentioned plugging part 42 is the first direction. The direction defined as being substantially perpendicular to the first direction is the second direction, and the direction defined as being substantially perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction is the third direction. Obviously, both the second direction and the third direction intersect with the plugging and unplugging direction of the plugging part 42, and the second direction and the third direction are in the same plane. It should be noted that "substantially perpendicular" includes but is not limited to being completely perpendicular, if slightly or slightly deviating from perpendicular.

[0054] As Figures 4 to 8 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, a cover plate 5 is provided at the above-mentioned socket 121, which can open or cover the socket 121. The cover plate 5 is rotatably constrained to the above-mentioned mounting seat 2 through a mounting shaft 52, and the cover plate 5 is located on the insertion path of the insertion portion 42. In one embodiment, the rotation axis of the cover plate 5 extends along the second direction. In another embodiment, the rotation axis of the cover plate 5 extends along the third direction. In the present embodiment, the cover plate 5 is located within the installation cavity 21. The above-mentioned first direction is the front-back direction of the vehicle, i.e., the x direction. The second direction is the left-right direction of the vehicle, i.e., the y direction, and the third direction is the up-down direction of the vehicle, i.e., the z direction. That is to say, the above-mentioned mounting shaft 52 extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0055] In one embodiment, as Figure 12 shown, the mounting shaft 52 is located below the installation cavity 21. In the present embodiment, the mounting shaft 52 is located above the installation cavity 21. Specifically, a support foot 51 is provided on the side of the cover plate 5 facing away from the socket 121. An opening 212 for the support foot 51 to pass through is provided on the top wall of the installation cavity 21. The mounting seat 2 is provided with a mounting foot at a position corresponding to the support foot 51. The support foot 51 and the mounting foot are correspondingly provided with through holes for the mounting shaft 52 to pass through.

[0056] The above-mentioned mounting seat 2 is further provided with an elastic member 53 that always causes the cover plate 5 to rotate in the direction of the socket 121 to close the socket 121. The elastic member 53 acts on the cover plate 5. In the present embodiment, the elastic member 53 is a torsion spring sleeved on the mounting shaft 52. The front end of the torsion spring abuts against the support foot 51, and the rear end of the torsion spring abuts against the mounting seat 2.

[0057] It can be understood that when installing the component to be installed 4, the insertion portion 42 of the component to be installed 4 is pressed against the cover plate 5, and the cover plate 5 is turned inward until the elastic buckle 421 on the insertion portion 42 is snapped into the card interface, and the installation of the component to be installed 4 can be achieved. When disassembly and assembly are required, only need to pull the component to be installed 4 outward, the elastic buckle 421 is disengaged from the card interface, so that the insertion portion 42 can be withdrawn from the socket 121. At this time, the cover plate 5 covers the socket 121 under the action of the torsion spring, while preventing dust from entering the socket 121, and increasing the integrity and aesthetics of the entire instrument panel 1.

[0058] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.

[0059] The embodiments described above merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. Their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patented application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
