DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the specific technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0057] An embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle-mounted display screen folding device, which can be used on a variety of devices that require the use of screens, such as in the glove box of the co-pilot of a vehicle. It can be understood that the devices that require the use of screens here are not limited to vehicles, but can also be other devices, as long as an installation cavity can be provided to accommodate the screen folding device. The embodiment of the present application does not limit it here.

[0058] Due to limited space, many devices simply install a fixed display. This can interfere with normal operation when the display is not needed. For example, some vehicles have multimedia displays installed in the passenger seat, as the co-pilot seat often requires multimedia. However, limited space limits the size of the display. If the display is placed inside the dashboard, it is typically small, affecting the viewing experience. Placing a large display in the passenger seat can also affect the field of view and the sensory quality of the interior.

[0059] In this regard, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle-mounted display screen folding device. When the display screen is needed, the display screen can be extended from the installation cavity and rotated to an angle suitable for viewing. When the display screen is not needed, the display screen can be retracted into the installation cavity, so that the display screen can change its position according to usage requirements, which can increase the size of the display screen without affecting the normal use of the equipment on which the display screen is installed.

[0060] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0061] For ease of understanding, the following description will be made by taking the glove box of a vehicle as an example, that is, the installation cavity 20 in the following embodiments is the installation space in the glove box at the passenger seat of the vehicle.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle-mounted display screen folding device includes a mounting base 100, a protective plate 600, a first drive assembly 200, and a connecting assembly. The mounting base 100 is fixed within the mounting cavity 20, for example, by welding or bolting. The first drive assembly 200 is disposed on the mounting base 100, and the connecting assembly is in driving connection with the first drive assembly 200. When the first drive assembly 200 is actuated, the connecting assembly drives the display screen 10 to extend or retract within the mounting cavity 20 according to a predetermined trajectory and predetermined angle.

[0063] Illustratively, the connection assembly includes a first connection assembly 300, a second connection assembly 400, and a third connection assembly 500. The first connection assembly 300 is in transmission connection with the first drive assembly 200, and can be driven by the first drive assembly 200 to extend the first connection assembly 300 toward the outside of the installation cavity 20 or retract it toward the inside of the installation cavity 20. The first connection assembly 300 is also connected to one of the second connection assembly 400 and the display screen 10. The second connecting component 400 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 100, and the second connecting component 400 is also used to be rotatably connected to the display screen 10. When the first driving component 200 drives the first connecting component 300 to move so that the display screen 10 extends or retracts into the mounting cavity 20, the second connecting component 400 can make the display screen 10 move according to a preset trajectory. The third connecting component 500 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 100, and the third connecting component 500 is also used to be rotatably connected to the display screen 10. When the display screen 10 moves, the relative position of the third connecting component 500 and the second connecting component 400 will change, so that the third connecting component 500 can pull the display screen 10 to rotate to a preset angle.

[0064] It can be understood that there are two preset angles here. One is the most suitable viewing angle when the display screen 10 extends out of the installation cavity 20 to reach the final viewing position. The other is the original angle after the display screen 10 retracts into the installation cavity 20, so that the display screen 10 can be folded in with other components as much as possible to reduce the occupied space.

[0065] In addition, the connecting component may also be other structures, as long as it can drive the display screen 10 to move and make the display screen 10 move according to a preset track and a preset angle. This embodiment does not limit it here.

[0066] The protective plate 600 can be hinged to the mounting cavity 20 through a hinged base, so that the protective plate 600 can rotate relative to the mounting cavity 20 to open or close the entrance and exit of the mounting cavity 20, and the display screen 10 enters and exits the mounting cavity 20 through the entrance and exit.

[0067] In order to facilitate the display screen 10 to pass through the entrance and exit, a relief portion 620 may be further provided on the top of the protective plate 600 , and the relief portion 620 is used for allowing the second connecting component 400 and the third connecting component 500 to pass through.

[0068] For example, the avoidance portion 620 may be a through slot provided on the top of the protective plate 600 , and its position and size may be adapted to the second connecting assembly 400 and the third connecting assembly 500 .

[0069] See Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the inlet and outlet are opened, the protective plate 600 rotates toward the outside of the installation cavity 20. It can be manually rotated, that is, the protective plate 600 is manually pulled to open or close the inlet and outlet. The protective plate 600 can also be linked with the display screen 10, that is, when the display screen 10 is extended, the inlet and outlet are automatically opened, and the inlet and outlet are automatically closed after the display screen 10 is extended. In this way, not only can the display screen 10 be protected when it is retracted into the installation cavity 20, but also when the display screen 10 is extended, the protective plate 600 can also be attached to the outside of the installation cavity 20, thereby reducing the occupied space.

[0070] In addition, the first driving component 200 can drive the first connecting component 300 to move, which can be a common structure such as a cylinder, an electric cylinder, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it here.

[0071] For example, see Figure 3 As shown, the first driving assembly 200 includes a screw 220 and a screw driving motor 210. The screw driving motor 210 is fixed on the mounting base 100. The output end of the driving connection of the screw 220 is connected to the screw 220. When the screw driving motor 210 is started, the screw 220 can be driven to move forward and backward relative to the screw driving motor 210 to drive the first connecting assembly 300 to move, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the display screen 10.

[0072] When you need to use the display 10, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first driving component 200 drives the first connecting component 300 to move, pushing the display screen 10 to move toward the outside of the installation cavity 20. During this process, the second connecting component 400 can make the display screen 10 move according to a preset trajectory to prevent the protective plate 600 from interfering with the display screen 10 and the second connecting component 400 during the movement of the display screen 10. The third connecting component 500 can also make the display screen 10 rotate to a preset angle when it extends out of the installation cavity 20 to reach the final position, so as to facilitate viewing. At the same time, the avoidance portion 620 can avoid the second connecting component 400 and the third connecting component 500. Therefore, at this time, the protective plate 600 can close the inlet and outlet, so that the protective plate 600 will not Occupies external space; when the display screen 10 is not needed, the first driving component 200 can be used to drive the first connecting component 300 to move in the opposite direction, so that the display screen 10 returns to the installation cavity 20 along the original path. At the same time, the third connecting component 500 drives the display screen 10 to rotate to the original angle, so that the display screen 10 can be stored in the installation cavity 20, so that the display screen can not only be installed on the center console or dashboard, but also in a larger space, such as in the glove box on the vehicle body, effectively increasing the size of the installable display screen 10, which is convenient for passengers to use. At the same time, the protective plate 600 can also protect the display screen 10 in the installation cavity 20, reducing the probability of damage to the display screen 10.

[0073] As a possible implementation of the second connection component 400 and the third connection component 500, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second connecting assembly 400 includes at least one first connecting rod, and the third connecting assembly 500 includes at least one second connecting rod. Of course, when multiple first connecting rods are provided, they are arranged side by side, and when multiple second connecting rods are provided, they are also arranged side by side.

[0074] The first connecting rod has two ends that are rotatably connected to the mounting base 100 and the display screen 10, respectively. The first connecting assembly 300 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod to drive the first connecting rod to push the display screen 10 along a predetermined trajectory. The second connecting rod has two ends that are rotatably connected to the mounting base 100 and the display screen 10, respectively. The second connecting rod is used to drive the display screen 10 to rotate when the first connecting rod pushes the display screen 10 to move.

[0075] Among them, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod can be set as one or more. When set as one, it is appropriate that the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are both connected to the middle of the display screen 10. Of course, the back of the display screen 10 is connected to the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to avoid affecting the viewing effect of the display screen 10.

[0076] To enhance support for the display screen 10, two first and second connecting rods can be provided, with one first connecting rod and one second connecting rod forming a set. These two sets are then positioned on either side of the display screen 10, thereby supporting the display screen 10 from both sides. This allows the display screen 10 to be folded while also providing greater stability during use. In this case, the first connecting assembly 300 serves as a third connecting rod, which is connected to the end of the screw rod 220 near the inlet and outlet via a bolt or other structure. The ends of the third connecting rod are connected to the two first connecting rods, respectively. When the screw drive motor 210 drives the screw rod 220 to move, the third connecting rod simultaneously pulls the two first connecting rods to move.

[0077] Specifically, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod can be configured as special-shaped rods to avoid interference with the protective plate 600 during movement. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the mounting base 100 includes a first bracket and a second bracket, the first bracket is located on the inner side of the second bracket, and the first bracket is closer to the inlet and outlet than the second bracket, the two ends of the first bracket are connected to the two first connecting rods through corresponding pins, and the two ends of the second bracket are connected to the two second connecting rods through corresponding pins, the screw drive motor 210 can be connected to the second bracket, and the moving direction of the screw 220 can be adjusted according to actual needs, but the whole moves in the direction of approaching or moving away from the inlet and outlet under the drive of the screw drive motor 210, the end of the screw 220 close to the inlet and outlet is connected to the end of the first connecting rod close to the first bracket through a pin, and the first connecting rod can rotate in the same direction relative to the bracket, the third connecting rod and the display screen 10.

[0078] This approach can not only effectively improve the support effect of the display screen 10 , but also avoid mutual interference among the components, so that the display screen 10 can be normally extended or retracted into the installation cavity 20 .

[0079] In one possible implementation, see Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the vehicle-mounted display screen folding device also includes at least one transmission rod 700, and the two ends of the transmission rod 700 are respectively rotatably connected to the first connecting rod and the protective plate 600. When the first connecting rod moves, the transmission rod 700 drives the protective plate 600 to open or close the entrance and exit accordingly.

[0080] When the screw drive motor 210 drives the screw 220 to move, the first connecting rod rotates around the hinge point with the first bracket, and the transmission rod 700 is connected to the first connecting rod and moves synchronously with the first connecting rod. However, the lower end of the protective plate 600 is hinged to the installation cavity 20. At this time, as the first connecting rod rotates, the transmission rod 700 drives the protective plate 600 to switch between the open and closed states of the inlet and outlet. It is only necessary to adjust the connection position of the transmission rod 700 and the first connecting rod, as well as the connection position of the transmission rod 700 and the protective plate 600 according to actual conditions. Please refer to Figure 4As shown, when the display screen 10 moves toward the outside of the installation cavity 20, the protective plate 600 gradually opens the inlet and outlet, and after the display screen 10 extends out of the installation cavity 20, as the display screen 10 gradually moves outward, the inlet and outlet are gradually closed. After the display screen 10 reaches the final position, the protective plate 600 completely closes the inlet and outlet, and when the display screen 10 is retracted, the first connecting rod moves in the opposite direction according to the original trajectory, so that the protective plate 600 gradually opens the inlet and outlet, and when the display screen 10 reaches the inlet and outlet position, the inlet and outlet are completely opened so that the display screen 10 can smoothly enter the inlet and outlet, and after the display screen 10 completely enters the inlet and outlet, the inlet and outlet are gradually closed again. When the display screen 10 returns to the initial position, the inlet and outlet are completely closed, thereby realizing the linkage between the protective plate 600 and the display screen 10, without the need to separately control the opening and closing of the protective plate 600.

[0081] Specifically, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the display screen 10 is unfolded and folded, the motion states of the various components are as follows:

[0082] The screw drive motor 210 drives the screw 220 to move toward the direction close to the inlet and outlet, the display screen 10 begins to expand outward, the first connecting rod rotates clockwise around the connection point with the first bracket, and pushes the transmission rod 700 to move. When the connection point between the first connecting rod and the first bracket, the connection point between the first connecting rod and the transmission rod 700, and the connection point between the transmission rod 700 and the protective plate 600 are on the same straight line, the transmission rod 700 pushes the protective plate 600 to rotate in the direction away from the inlet and outlet to the farthest position, that is, the protective plate 600 is opened to the maximum angle. At this time, the display screen 10 passes through the inlet and outlet to reach the outside of the installation cavity 20.

[0083] The first connecting rod continues to rotate clockwise, and the push of the transmission rod 700 on the protective plate 600 is transformed into a pulling force, pulling the protective plate 600 to rotate in the direction close to the entrance and exit, gradually closing the entrance and exit. When the display screen 10 reaches the final position, the protective plate 600 completely closes the entrance and exit. During this process, the avoidance portion 620 can provide space for the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, so that the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod will not interfere with the protective plate 600.

[0084] When the display screen 10 is folded, the first connecting rod rotates counterclockwise, and the transmission rod 700 first pushes the protective plate 600 to open the entrance and exit. After the display screen 10 enters the installation cavity 20, the protective plate 600 is pulled to gradually close the entrance and exit. When the display screen 10 returns to the initial position, the protective plate 600 completely closes the entrance and exit.

[0085] Generally speaking, the first connecting rod and the protective plate 600 are connected by the transmission rod 700. When the display screen 10 is unfolded, the protective plate 600 performs a reciprocating motion from open to closed. When the display screen 10 is folded, the protective plate 600 also performs a reciprocating motion from open to closed, thereby realizing the linkage between the protective plate 600 and the display screen 10 and improving the convenience of use.

[0086] As another embodiment of the second connection component 400 and the third connection component 500, see Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the first connecting assembly 300 is rotatably connected to the display screen 10 and the screw rod 220 respectively, the second connecting assembly 400 includes at least one first guide groove 410 and a first guide member 420, and the third connecting assembly 500 includes at least one second guide groove 510 and a second guide member 520. The first guide groove 410 and the second guide groove 510 are both provided on the mounting base 100, and the first guide member 420 and the second guide member 520 are respectively slidably connected to the first guide groove 410 and the second guide groove 510, that is, the first guide member 420 is provided corresponding to the first guide groove 410, and the second guide member 520 is provided corresponding to the second guide groove 510. The first guide member 420 and the second guide member 520 are both rotatably connected to the display screen 10. Of course, the extension directions of the first guide groove 410 and the second guide groove 510 are different, see Figure 13 As shown, when the screw 220 moves through the first connecting assembly 300 to drive the display screen 10 to move, the first guide member 420 will move along the first guide groove 410, so that the display screen 10 moves according to the preset trajectory and unfolds outside the installation cavity 20, and the second guide member 520 is slidably connected to the second guide groove 510. During the movement of the display screen 10, the relative position relationship between the first guide member 420 and the second guide member 520 will change due to the restrictions of the first guide groove 410 and the second guide groove 510, so that the second guide member 520 can pull the display screen 10 to rotate to the preset angle when the display screen 10 moves to the final position.

[0087] It can be understood that the first guide groove 410 and the second guide groove 510 can be curved tracks, or linear tracks, or a combination of curved tracks and linear tracks. As long as the first guide groove 410 can enable the display screen 10 to unfold and fold according to a preset trajectory, the second guide groove 510 can enable the display screen 10 to rotate to a preset angle when moving to the final position, this embodiment does not limit it here.

[0088] The number of the first guide grooves 410 and the second guide grooves 510 can be determined according to actual conditions, and is not limited in this embodiment.

[0089] Exemplarily, only one of the first guide groove 410, the first guide member 420, the second guide groove 510 and the second guide member 520 can be provided. In this case, the first guide member 420 and the second guide member 520 are both connected to the middle area of ​​the display screen 10 to support the display screen 10 from the middle area to prevent the display screen 10 from tilting.

[0090] For example, Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, two of the first guide groove 410, the second guide groove 510, the first guide member 420 and the second guide member 520 can be provided, the two first guide members 420 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the display screen 10, and the two second guide members 520 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the display screen 10, and a connecting bracket can be provided on the back of the display screen 10, and the first connecting part, the second connecting part and the third connecting part are correspondingly provided on the connecting bracket, the first guide member 420, the second guide member 520 and the first connecting assembly 300 are all connecting columns, the first guide member 420 is rotatably connected to the first connecting part, the second guide member 520 is rotatably connected to the second connecting part, and the first connecting assembly 300 is rotatably connected to the third connecting part, and the extension directions of the first guide member 420, the second guide member 520 and the first connecting assembly 300 are all the same.

[0091] Among them, the positions of the first guide member 420 and the second guide member 520 can be adjusted accordingly through the first connecting part and the second connecting part to adapt them to the usage requirements. At the same time, the third connecting part can be set between the two second connecting components 400, which can save space and help improve the driving effect.

[0092] It is understandable that both the first guide member 420 and the second guide member 520 can be provided in plurality. When provided in plurality, as long as the extending directions are the same, this embodiment does not limit them.

[0093] In one possible implementation, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the avoidance portion 620 includes a flap 621 and a return spring 622 . The flap 621 and the protective plate 600 are rotatably connected via a pin 623 , and the return spring 622 is disposed on the pin 623 .

[0094] When the display screen 10 is unfolded, the flap 621 is pushed to flip toward the outside of the installation cavity 20, which will not affect the unfolding of the display screen 10. At this time, the return spring 622 is stretched to store potential energy. After the display screen 10 is folded, the force pushing the flap 621 to flip disappears, and the return spring 622 releases the stored potential energy, causing the flap 621 to return to its original position and cooperate with the protective plate 600 to completely close the entrance and exit, thereby providing better protection for the display screen 10.

[0095] It is understandable that the return spring 622 may be a torsion spring or a spring, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0096] Furthermore, the protective plate 600 can also include an inner door panel 630 and an outer door panel 610. The outer door panel 610 and the inner door panel 630 can be connected by welding or bolting. The outer door panel 610 is located on the side of the inner door panel 630 away from the installation cavity 20. The inner door panel 630 is provided with an avoidance groove 631 for the second connecting component 400 and the third connecting component to pass through, and the flap 621 is provided on the outer door panel 610.

[0097] When the display screen 10 is in the unfolded state, the second connecting component 400 and the third connecting component 500 are both at least partially exposed. Figure 15 As shown, when the protective panel 600 is closed, the flap 621 contacts the second connecting assembly 400. As the protective panel 600 continues to close, the flap 621 is pushed to rotate relative to the outer door panel 610. The second connecting assembly 400 and the third connecting assembly 500 are both engaged in the avoidance groove 631 provided on the inner door panel 630 and extend outside the installation cavity 20 through the position of the flap 621. The avoidance groove 631 prevents the second connecting assembly 400 and the third connecting assembly 500 from interfering with the inner door panel 630, and the flap 621 prevents the second connecting assembly 400 and the third connecting assembly 500 from interfering with the outer door panel 610. After the display screen 10 is folded, the return spring 622 drives the flap 621 to rotate to the closed position.

[0098] After the protective plate 600 is divided into the inner door panel 630 and the outer door panel 610, not only the strength of the protective plate 600 can be improved, and the second connecting component 400 and the third connecting component 500 can be helped to be restrained, but also no interference will be generated with the first connecting component 300 and the second connecting component 400.

[0099] In one possible implementation, see Figure 9 As shown, the vehicle-mounted display screen folding device also includes a second drive component 800, which is connected to the protective plate 600 and is used to drive the protective plate 600 to close the entrance and exit when the display screen 10 is located inside or outside the installation cavity 20, or to open the entrance and exit when the display screen 10 passes through the entrance and exit.

[0100] Specifically, the second drive assembly 800 can be a motor, which is arranged on the hinge base and can be connected to the protective plate 600 as a transmission component through a gear set or connecting rod structure, driving the protective plate 600 to rotate around the hinge point with the hinge base to open or close the entrance and exit.

[0101] In order to enable the protective plate 600 and the display screen 10 to be linked together, the first drive component 200 and the second drive component 800 can be connected to the vehicle controller for communication, and a button for controlling the folding or unfolding of the display screen 10 can be added to the control panel. The linkage control of the display screen 10 and the protective plate 600 can be achieved only through the control panel. The specific control logic and method are conventional technical means in this field, and this embodiment does not limit them here.

[0102] The present application also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body, such as Figure 4 As shown, a glove box is provided at the passenger seat of the vehicle body, and an installation cavity 20 is formed inside the glove box. The installation cavity 20 is provided with an inlet and outlet facing the seat side. The bottom of the protective plate 600 is hinged to the lower end of the inlet and outlet through a hinge seat, and the installation seat 100 is provided in the installation cavity 20.

[0103] At this time, a larger display screen 10 can be set in the glove box. The display screen 10 can be folded into the installation cavity 20 in the glove box. When the passenger on the front passenger seat needs to use the display screen 10, the display screen 10 can be opened as shown in the figure. Figure 4 In the manner shown, the display screen 10 is rotated and raised from the installation cavity 20 for use by passengers. When not in use, the display screen 10 can be folded back into the accommodation cavity and protected by the protective plate 600, which does not affect the overall vehicle atmosphere and helps to enhance the grade and comfort of the vehicle.

[0104] It is understandable that the vehicle-mounted display screen folding device of the embodiment of the present application can also be used on other devices with similar installation requirements, and this embodiment does not limit it here.
