[0040] Refer to the appendix Figure 7 In general, the screen component 1 includes a screen frame 100 as a support structure, and structures such as a screen main board 101, a liquid crystal display 102, a touch screen 103, a front shell 104 and a decorative frame 105 installed on the screen frame 100. The structures are fixedly connected by screws, bonding or snap connection, etc. The control main board component 2 and the bracket assembly 3 are directly fixedly connected to the screen frame 100. For example, the U-shaped frame 201 of the control main board component 2 and the two frame bodies of the bracket assembly 3 are screwed to the screen frame 100.

[0041] In some embodiments, a number of mounting holes 303 are provided at both ends of the U-shaped frame 201, as well as on the left frame body 300 and the right frame body 301 to adapt the in-vehicle player for installation on different vehicle models. There are differences in the fixed mounting positions of the in-vehicle player within the mounting positions of different brands and models of vehicles, but generally mounting holes 303 are provided at both the left and right ends of the in-vehicle player, and it is fixed within the mounting position by screwing. Therefore, at both ends of the in-vehicle player, specifically, the mounting holes 303 required for different vehicle models on the market are provided at both ends of the U-shaped frame 201 of the in-vehicle player, as well as on the left frame body 300 and the right frame body 301, and users can select the corresponding mounting holes 303 for assembly according to the actual situation.

[0042] Refer to the appendix Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the in-vehicle player further includes a sleeve 4 that penetrates through from front to back. The sleeve 4 is generally square, and the player main body 1001 is detachably sleeved in the sleeve 4. The sleeve 4 and the player main body 1001 are cooperated in a plug-and-play manner, and users can choose whether to retain the sleeve 4 according to actual needs. Some vehicle models on the market install the in-vehicle player through the sleeve 4. First, the sleeve 4 is installed in the mounting position reserved in the center console, and then the in-vehicle player is inserted; while for some vehicle models that do not require the sleeve 4, the player main body 1001 can be directly installed.

[0043] Refer to the appendix Figures 10-12 , in some embodiments, a number of elastic shrapnel 401 that elastically abut against the player main body 1001 are provided on the sleeve 4. A plug-in portion 403 is provided at the free end 402 of each shrapnel 401. The plug-in portion 403 includes two inserted pieces that extend inwards and have different layout directions; a number of slot groups 3000 are provided on the player main body 1001. Each slot group 3000 includes two slot bodies 3001 / 3002 with different layout directions, and the inserted pieces of each plug-in portion 403 are inserted into the slot bodies of the corresponding slot group 3000.

[0044] Specifically, two shrapnel 401 are provided at both the left and right ends of the sleeve 4. One shrapnel 401 abuts against the U-shaped frame 201, and the other shrapnel 401 abuts against the left frame body 300 or the right frame body 301. The plug-in portion 403 of each shrapnel 401 includes a horizontal inserted piece 4031 and a vertical inserted piece 4032. Each slot group 3000 on the corresponding U-shaped frame 201, left frame body 300, and right frame body 301 is provided with a horizontal slot body 3002 and a vertical slot body 3001. The horizontal inserted piece 4031 on the shrapnel 401 is inserted into the horizontal slot body 3002, and the vertical inserted piece 4032 is inserted into the vertical slot body 3001. By using the cooperation of two groups of inserted pieces and slot bodies with different directions, the cooperation stability between the shrapnel 401 and the player main body 1001 is strengthened, and they are not easily loosened even when subjected to multiple forces.

[0045] In some embodiments, an arc-shaped protrusion 404 protruding inward is provided at the free end 402 of each elastic piece 401. The arc-shaped protrusion 404 extends in the front-rear direction. An arc-shaped groove 3003 recessed inward is provided on the player main body 1001, and the arc-shaped protrusion 404 is embedded in the arc-shaped groove. One or more slots 6 extending in the front-rear direction are formed between the housing 4 and the player main body 1001. The front end of the slot 6 is open, and the rear end of the slot 6 extends to the arc-shaped protrusion 404. The in-vehicle player further includes an independent unlocking plate 5. The unlocking plate 5 is provided with one or more tongues 500. The tongues 500 can be inserted through the front end of the slot 6 between the arc-shaped protrusion 404 and the arc-shaped groove 3003 to release the locking of the plugging portion 403 and the slot group 3000.

[0046] Specifically, the decorative frame 105 of the screen assembly 1 can be set to be detachable, for example, connected to other components by screws, which is convenient for disassembly. The slot 6 is formed between the housing 4, the control main board assembly 2, and the bracket assembly 3. When the housing 4 needs to be removed, first remove the decorative frame 105 of the screen assembly 1 to expose the opening of the slot 6, and then insert the unlocking plate 5 along the slot 6 to complete the disassembly.

[0047] The embedding of the arc-shaped protrusion 404 in the arc-shaped groove 3003 can enhance the assembly stability between the housing 4 and the player main body 1001. In an installation environment where the housing 4 is not required, insert the unlocking plate 5 along the front end of the slot 6. The tongue 500 is inserted between the arc-shaped protrusion 404 and the arc-shaped groove, pushing the arc-shaped protrusion 404 outwards, so that the plugging portion 403 is separated from the slot group 3000, and then the housing 4 can be pulled away from the player main body 1001. The number of tongues 500 corresponds to the number of slots 6, which is convenient for unlocking the locking of all the elastic pieces 401 at one end of the housing 4 to the player main body 1001 at the same time.

[0048] In some embodiments, a guiding boss 501 is provided at the tail end of the tongue 500, and the guiding boss 501 is provided with an inclined guiding surface 502. When the tongue 500 travels along the slot, the thinner position of the guiding boss 501 contacts the arc-shaped protrusion 404 first, and then the tongue 500 continues to travel, and the thicker position of the guiding boss 501 gradually pushes the arc-shaped protrusion 404 away and out of the arc-shaped groove 3003.

[0049] In summary, the improved in-vehicle player can freely disassemble and assemble the bracket assembly 3, and the single-din structure and the corresponding combined double-din structure can be switched. In addition, the player main body 1001 is configured with a detachable housing 4, so that the in-vehicle player can be installed to adapt to a variety of vehicle models.
