Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to a touch screen waterproof structure of an automobile central control panel. Background Art

[0002] The car's central control panel mainly controls various entertainment and usage switches in the car, such as air conditioning, audio, etc. With the rapid development of technology, the current car's central control panel can also control the vehicle's wipers, lights, gear shifting and other functions, so the protection of the central control panel is indispensable.

[0003] Currently, most of the waterproof methods for touch screens on central control panels are directly protected by applying films. Although the films can ensure that water spilled on the touch screen will not penetrate into its interior, general central control panels are generally set with a certain inclination for the convenience of the driver to watch. This causes water spilled on the central control panel to slide downward with the inclination. Even with a protective film, water droplets will slide through the gaps at the bottom and flow into the interior of the central control panel. At the same time, water droplets dripping into the interior are difficult to handle. The water vapor formed after evaporation will also cause the interior of the central control panel to be damp, thereby affecting the normal use of electronic components. There is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0021] Example 1, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A touch screen waterproof structure for a car center console includes a center console 1, two buckles 2 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the center console 1, two positioning plates 3 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the center console 1, a touch screen 4 is fixedly connected to the front of the center console 1, a knob 5 is rotatably connected to the front of the center console 1, and a plurality of control buttons 6 are fixedly connected to the front of the center console 1;

[0022] A strip groove is provided on the front of the center console 1, and two waterproof components are slidably connected to the inner wall of the strip groove. The waterproof component includes a movable block 7, and the lower surfaces of the two movable blocks 7 are provided with a limited slot. The opposite surfaces of the two movable blocks 7 are provided with a strip hole, and the inner wall of the strip hole is plugged with a sponge pad 8. The front of the center console 1 is rotatably connected to two limit components. The lower surface of the center console 1 is fixedly connected to the porous bottom plate 10 by four mounting bolts 9. The lower surface of the center console 1 is provided with four threaded holes that match the mounting bolts 9. The upper surface of the porous bottom plate 10 is fixedly connected with a strip frame 11. The inner bottom wall of the strip groove is provided with a square groove that matches the strip frame 11. The upper surface of the strip frame 11 is provided with a number of through holes. The inner wall of the through hole is fixedly connected with a fan 12, and the position of the fan 12 corresponds to the position of the sponge pad 8;

[0023] Water droplets can slide down the surface of the touch screen 4 and drip onto the sponge pad 8 in the strip groove. The sponge pad 8 can absorb the water droplets, and the fan 12 can quickly dry the sponge pad 8 after it is started, which can ensure that water droplets will not drip into the interior through the gaps to damage the electronic components. At the same time, it will not cause the water droplets to evaporate and form water vapor that penetrates into the interior to cause moisture, thereby having a better protection effect on the electronic components inside the center console 1.

[0024] Example 2: Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The limit assembly includes a forward and reverse screw rod 13. A cavity is opened inside the center console 1 at the position corresponding to the two forward and reverse screw rods 13. The rear end of the forward and reverse screw rod 13 extends into the interior of the cavity and is rotatably connected to the rear inner wall of the cavity. The inner bottom wall of the cavity is slidably connected to two sliders 14. The front faces of the two sliders 14 are provided with threaded through holes. The two sliders 14 are respectively threadedly connected to the positive and negative threads on the surfaces of the forward and reverse screw rods 13 through the threaded through holes, and the upper surfaces of the two sliders 14 are rotatably connected to a push rod 15. A rectangular hole is opened in the inner top wall of the cavity. The inner wall of the rectangular hole is slidably connected to a limiting plug block 16. The ends of the two push rods 15 away from the sliders 14 are rotatably connected to the lower surface of the limiting plug block 16, and the limiting plug block 16 is adapted to the limiting slot.

[0025] By rotating the forward and reverse screw rod 13, the two sliders 14 can be driven to move toward the opposite sides through the forward and reverse threads of the forward and reverse screw rod 13 itself, thereby driving the limit plug 16 to steadily descend through the two push rods 15 until the limit plug 16 is disengaged from the limit slot, so that the two movable blocks 7 are no longer restricted, making it convenient to remove them from the strip groove and replace the sponge pad 8.

[0026] Working principle: When water is spilled on the touch screen 4, the water will flow downward along the slope and drip onto the sponge pad 8 and be absorbed by the sponge pad 8. It will not flow along the gap of the center console 1 to the inside of the center console 1 to affect the practicality of the electronic components. The user only needs to turn on the fan 12 through the control button 6 to make the fan 12 blow towards the sponge pad 8 to quickly dry the sponge pad 8, thereby preventing the evaporation of water droplets and making the internal electronic components damp, thereby improving the protection effect of the electronic components inside the center console 1. At the same time, rotating the two forward and reverse screw rods 13 can drive the two sliders 14 to move toward the opposite back sides, thereby driving the limit plug 16 to move downward through the top rod 15 until the limit plug 16 is disengaged from the limit slot on the lower surface of the movable block 7. At this time, the two movable blocks 7 can be pulled out of the strip groove, which is convenient for replacing the sponge pad 8 and has high flexibility.

[0027] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
