Detailed Implementation

[0034] Before explaining any embodiment of the present invention in detail, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to its application to the structural details and component arrangements set forth in the following description or shown in the above drawings.

[0035] In this invention, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0036] In this utility model, the terms "connection," "combination," and "installation" can refer to direct connection, combination, or installation, or indirect connection, combination, or installation. For example, a direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without the need for an intermediary, while an indirect connection refers to two parts or components each being connected to at least one intermediary, with the connection achieved through the intermediary.

[0037] In this invention, those skilled in the art will understand that the function performed by a component can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can be performed by one part, one component, or a combination of multiple parts.

[0038] In this utility model, the directional terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" are used to describe the orientation and positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when one element is mentioned as being connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional terms such as upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side, and rear side not only represent the direct orientation but can also be understood as the lateral orientation. For example, "below" can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front, and lower rear.

[0039] An instrument panel assembly is installed in the vehicle's cab. To ensure the cab's aesthetics while allowing for quick installation and removal of the instrument panel display screen, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a display screen mounting structure. The display screen mounting structure 1 includes a locking post 11, a locking assembly 12, and an unlocking component 13.

[0040] The locking pin 11 can be fixedly mounted on one of the display screen 2 and the instrument panel 3. The locking assembly 12 can be mounted on the other of the display screen 2 and the instrument panel 3. The locking assembly 12 has a locking position that locks with the locking pin 11 and an unlocking position that is separated from the locking pin 11. The unlocking member 13 is drivenly connected to the locking assembly 12 to drive the locking assembly 12 to switch from the locking position to the unlocking position.

[0041] In this embodiment, the locking post 11 is fixedly mounted on the instrument panel 3, and the locking assembly 12 is mounted on the end of the display screen 2 facing the instrument panel 3. During the installation of the display screen 2, the locking assembly 12 cooperates with the locking post 11, and the locking assembly 12 is in the locked position, thereby locking the display screen 2 onto the instrument panel 3. When disassembly is required, the locking assembly 12 can be driven by the unlocking component 13 to separate the locking assembly 12 from the locking post 11. Then, the display screen 2 can be removed by directly separating the locking assembly 12 from the locking post 11, facilitating quick disassembly and assembly. Moreover, no bolts are required for fixing, therefore, no maintenance cover is needed. The locking post 11 and the locking assembly 12 are concealed by the display screen 2, ensuring the aesthetics of the cab after the display screen 2 is installed.

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 12 includes a hook 121 and an elastic element 122. The hook 121 is rotatably mounted on the display screen 2 or dashboard 3, and the elastic element 122 is disposed between the hook 121 and the display screen 2 or dashboard 3 on which the hook 121 is mounted. The elastic element 122 tends to keep the hook 121 in a locked position, and the unlocking element 13 is drively connected to the hook 121. By setting the elastic element 122, the hook 121 can be kept in a locked position, so that when the display screen 2 is installed, it can quickly engage with the locking post 11 to connect the display screen 2 and the dashboard 3. When it is necessary to remove the display screen 2 from the dashboard 3, the unlocking element 13 drives the hook 121 to rotate, the elastic element 122 deforms, and after the hook 121 separates from the locking post 11 and the display screen 2 is removed, the elastic element 122 can drive the hook 121 to return to the locked position. The elastic element 122 can be a spring, torsion spring, or spiral spring, and no further restrictions are imposed here. In other embodiments, the locking assembly 12 includes a snap-fit ​​plate, and an elastic element 122 is disposed between the snap-fit ​​plate and the display screen 2 or instrument panel 3 on which the hook 121 is provided. A snap-fit ​​groove is formed on the snap-fit ​​plate. When the snap-fit ​​plate is in the locked position, the snap-fit ​​groove engages with the locking pin 11, thereby stably connecting the display screen 2 and the instrument panel 3. When it is necessary to remove the display screen 2 from the instrument panel 3, the snap-fit ​​plate is driven to move by the unlocking element 13, the elastic element 122 deforms, and after the locking pin 11 disengages from the snap-fit ​​groove and the display screen 2 is removed, the elastic element 122 can drive the snap-fit ​​plate to return to the locked position.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 12 further includes a limiting member 123 and a fixing member 124. The fixing member 124 is disposed on the display screen 2 or instrument panel 3 with the hook 121. The fixing member 124 has a rotating shaft 1241, and the hook 121 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 1241. The limiting member 123 is disposed on the rotating shaft 1241 to limit the axial position of the hook 121 on the rotating shaft 1241. Specifically, a mounting hole is provided on the hook 121, and the hook 121 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 1241 through the mounting hole. The limiting member 123 is a screw, and the end diameter of the limiting member 123 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole. After the hook 121 is installed on the rotating shaft 1241, the limiting member 123 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 1241. Since the end diameter of the limiting member 123 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole, it prevents the hook 121 from separating from the rotating shaft 1241. In other embodiments, the limiting member 123 may also be interference-fitted with the rotating shaft 1241, or fixed with adhesive, without further restrictions.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the unlocking element 13 is a pull rope, which is fixedly connected to the hook 121. By designing the unlocking element as a pull rope, the flexibility of the pull rope facilitates its placement, and it can effectively drive the hook 121 to move. In other embodiments, the unlocking element 13 can be a steel wire rope with a certain rigidity. During the installation of the display screen 2, pushing the unlocking element 13 in the opposite direction of the unlocking direction can drive the hook 121 to the locking position, thereby cooperating with the locking post 11 to lock the display screen 2 onto the dashboard 3.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixing post 1211 is fixedly provided on the hook 121, and the pull rope is wound around the fixing post 1211. Specifically, the fixing post 1211 and the hook 121 are integrally formed, which ensures the connection strength between the fixing post 1211 and the hook 121, facilitates manufacturing, and saves installation steps. When unlocking, pulling the pull rope causes the hook 121 to rotate through the fixing post 1211, switching from the locked position to the unlocked position, thus separating the hook 121 from the locking post 11, and allowing the display screen 2 to be removed from the instrument panel 3. Of course, a connection hole can also be provided on the hook 121, and the pull rope can be connected to the connection hole to achieve the connection between the pull rope and the hook 121. In other embodiments, the unlocking component 13 can also be a servo motor or a motor. The servo motor or motor is fixed on the display screen 2 or instrument panel 3 where the hook 121 is set, and the output shaft of the servo motor or motor is connected to the hook 121. The rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor or motor drives the hook 121 to rotate, realizing the switching of the hook 121 between the unlocked position and the locked position. Of course, a gear and rack transmission can also be used, where the operator drives the rack to rotate the gear connected to the hook 121, thereby causing the hook 121 to rotate. No further restrictions are imposed here.

[0046] In some embodiments, when the elastic element 122 is a torsion spring, the torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft 1241, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the rotating shaft 1241, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the hook 121. During the process of the hook 121 rotating to the unlock position, the torsion spring deforms to store energy. After the force of the unlocking element 13 on the hook 121 is canceled, the torsion spring can drive the hook 121 to automatically reset.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 12 further includes a fixing member 124, which is disposed on the display screen 2 or dashboard 3 equipped with a hook 121. The hook 121 is rotatably disposed on the fixing member 124, and a support plate 1242 is fixedly disposed on the fixing member 124. The pull rope passes through the support plate 1242. Specifically, two support plates 1242 are spaced apart on the fixing member 124, and the rotating shaft 1241 is located between the support plates 1242. A groove is formed on the support plate 1242, and the pull rope passes through the groove. By providing the support plate 1242, the pull rope can be supported and guided, preventing the pull rope from getting tangled.

[0048] In some embodiments, the support plate 1242 and the fixing member 124 are an integrated structure. Specifically, the support plate 1242, the rotating shaft 1241, and the fixing member 124 can be integrally molded using an injection molding process. This facilitates manufacturing while ensuring the connection strength between the rotating shaft 1241, the support plate 1242, and the fixing member 124.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a first limiting part 111 is fixedly provided at the end of the locking post 11. The first limiting part 111 is used to prevent the locking assembly 12 from separating from the locking post 11 along the axial direction of the locking post 11. By providing the first limiting part 111, the display screen 2 can be locked on the instrument panel 3 after the locking post 11 and the hook 121 are engaged, preventing the display screen 2 from detaching from the instrument panel 3 along the axial direction of the locking post 11. The first limiting part 111 can be integrally formed with the locking post 11, or the first limiting part 111 can be installed on the locking post 11 using screws.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a second limiting part 112 is provided at the other end of the locking post 11 away from the first limiting part 111. The second limiting part 112 cooperates with the first limiting part 111 to restrict the locking assembly 12 from moving axially along the locking post 11. With the above arrangement, after the display screen 2 is locked with the locking post 11 by the hook 121, the position of the display screen 2 on the instrument panel 3 can be limited. During subsequent driving, even if the vehicle is bumpy, the display screen 2 will not shake. The second limiting part 112 can be integrally formed with the locking post 11, or the second limiting part 112 can be installed on the locking post 11 by screws.

[0051] like Figures 5-6As shown, this embodiment also provides an instrument panel assembly, including an instrument panel 3, a display screen 2, and at least one set of display screen mounting structures 1 as described above. The display screen 2 is mounted to the instrument panel 3 via the display screen mounting structures 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, six sets of display screen mounting structures 1 are arranged to ensure a stable connection between the instrument panel 3 and the instrument panel 3 via the display screen mounting structures 1. Using the display screen mounting structures 1 to mount the display screen 2 to the instrument panel 3 ensures the aesthetics of the cab while facilitating quick installation and removal of the display screen 2 from the instrument panel assembly.

[0052] In some embodiments, multiple sets of display screen mounting structures 1 are provided, and multiple sets of display screen mounting structures share a single unlocking element 13. In this embodiment, six sets of display screen mounting structures 1 are provided. The six sets of display screen mounting structures 1 are arranged in two rows. The unlocking element 13 is a pull rope, which includes a main rope 132 and two branch ropes 131 connected to each other. The two branch ropes 131 correspond to one row of display screen mounting structures 1 respectively. When a person pulls the main rope 132, the two branch ropes 131 move synchronously, thereby driving the hooks 121 of all display screen mounting structures 1 to rotate. With the above arrangement, the display screen 2 and the instrument panel 3 can be stably connected and easily disassembled and assembled.

[0053] In some embodiments, the instrument panel 3 is provided with an air vent, and the operating end of the unlocking member 13 is located at the air vent. Specifically, the unlocking member 13 is a pull rope, and the operating end of the unlocking member 13 is a pull head 133, which is convenient for personnel to operate. Personnel can operate it with one hand, and there is no need to open an additional operating hole on the instrument panel 3, thus ensuring the aesthetics of the instrument panel 3.

[0054] In some embodiments, the locking post 11 of the display mounting structure 1 is integrally formed with the display screen 2 or the instrument panel 3. In this embodiment, the locking post 11 is disposed on the instrument panel 3, and the locking post 11 is connected to the instrument panel 3 by injection molding. Of course, the locking post 11 can also be mounted on the instrument panel 3 with screws, and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0055] In some embodiments, the fastener 124 of the display mounting structure 1 is integrally formed with the display screen 2 or the dashboard 3. In this embodiment, the fastener 124 is disposed on the side of the display screen 2 facing the dashboard 3, and the fastener 124 is connected to the display screen 2 by injection molding. Of course, the fastener 124 can also be installed on the display screen 2 by screws, without further restrictions.

[0056] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body and the instrument panel assembly as described above. The instrument panel assembly is located in the vehicle body, which ensures the aesthetics of the cab while facilitating quick installation and removal of the display screen 2 of the instrument panel assembly.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
