Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior technology, and in particular to a novel rotating screen for automotive center consoles. Background Technology

[0002] As society develops, cars are becoming increasingly important to people's lives, and people's demands for car operation and comfort are also rising. The center console, as the control center of a car, is an essential component of every vehicle. At the end of the center console, there is usually a screen for passengers to adjust the air conditioning temperature and fan speed; seat massage, heating, and ventilation functions; and other entertainment functions. However, most screens on the market are currently fixed, requiring second-row passengers to get up to operate them, which is not particularly convenient.

[0003] Currently, the screens on the market are fixed in place. When the vehicle is traveling at high speed, second-row passengers may bump or injure the screen when using it. The center console screens on the market are complex in structure. When assembling them, employees need to drive screws from the back of the screen from top to bottom. If the employees do not operate properly, they may miss screws or forget to drive them. Moreover, after assembly, disassembly is also cumbersome, requiring the screws to be removed from the back of the screen. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a new type of rotating screen for car center consoles. This screen does not require screws or fasteners, making its structure simpler. The screen is fixed by clips, latches, and magnets, so there is no need to worry about the risk of the screen falling off.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A new type of rotating screen for car center consoles includes:

[0007] The system includes a frame with a hinged rotating bracket on its outer side, and a screen mounted on the outer side of the rotating bracket. A first unlocking component and a second unlocking component are positioned between the frame and the rotating bracket. When both components are locked, the frame and bracket are in contact. The first unlocking component locks the rotating bracket, and the second unlocking component locks both the rotating bracket and the screen. A rotating component is also positioned between the frame and the rotating bracket, providing a force to simultaneously rotate both components. When the first unlocking component is used to unlock, the rotating component drives the frame to rotate in a first direction. During this rotation, the frame contacts the second unlocking component, unlocking it. After the second unlocking component unlocks, the rotating bracket and screen rotate in a second direction.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the rotating component is used to provide a force for the simultaneous rotation of the mechanism frame and the flipping bracket. The rotating component includes a rotating shaft rotatably disposed within the mechanism frame.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a novel rotating screen for a car center console includes a frame 1, with a rotating bracket 2 hinged to its outer side. A screen 3 is mounted on the outer side of the rotating bracket 2. A first unlocking component and a second unlocking component are provided between the frame 1 and the rotating bracket 2. When the first and second unlocking components are locked, the frame 1 and the rotating bracket 2 are in a fitted state. The first unlocking component is used to lock the rotating bracket 2, and the second unlocking component is used to lock the rotating bracket 2 and the screen 3. A rotating component is provided between the frame 1 and the rotating bracket 2. The rotating component provides a force to rotate the frame 1 and the rotating bracket 2 simultaneously. When the first unlocking component is operated to unlock, the rotating component drives the frame 1 to rotate in a first direction. During the rotation, the frame 1 contacts the second unlocking component to unlock. After the second unlocking component unlocks, the rotating bracket 2 and the screen 3 rotate in a second direction.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the mechanical frame 1 is attached to the flip bracket 2, a first state is formed, and a part of the flip bracket 2 will penetrate the mechanical frame 1. At this time, the first unlocking component and the second unlocking component are in a locked state. When the first unlocking component is unlocked, the mechanical frame 1 will flip first. During the flipping process, the second unlocking component will be unlocked. Then the flip bracket 2 will drive the screen to flip. A part of the flip bracket 2 will gradually detach from the mechanical frame 1 and form a second state after it is in place. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0034] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the rotating component is used to provide a force for the simultaneous rotation of the mechanism frame 1 and the flipping bracket 2. The rotating component includes a rotating shaft 4 rotatably disposed within the mechanism frame 1. The inner side of the flipping bracket 2 has a second connecting block 201, and the extension end of the connecting block 201 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, the extended end of the connecting block 201 is provided with a circular hole, which is adapted to the rotating shaft 4, so that the flipping bracket 2 and the mechanism frame 1 can rotate around the rotating shaft 4.

[0036] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the mechanism frame 1 has two hollow cylinders 101 that are symmetrical about left and right. An opening spring 5 is sleeved on the hollow cylinder 101. One end of the opening spring 5 is fixed inside the mechanism frame 1, and the other end is fixed inside the flipping bracket 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, by setting the opening spring 5, after the mechanism frame 1 and the flip bracket 2 are attached, the opening spring 5 will be compressed. After the mechanism frame 1 and the flip bracket 2 are unlocked, the mechanism frame 1 and the flip bracket 2 will rotate and open due to the elasticity of the opening spring 5.

[0038] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the inner side of the flipping bracket 2 also has an arch frame 202, a damper 6 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 4, the damper 6 is located inside the arch frame 202, the outer side of the damper 6 has a protrusion, and a limiting groove is provided inside the arch frame 202, the protrusion is adapted to the limiting groove.

[0039] In this embodiment, the damping 6 allows the screen 3 to move at an appropriate speed during the opening and closing process. Without the damping 6, the screen 3 may open and close quickly due to its own weight or the user's slight force, which will not only generate a large impact force but may also cause damage to the device. With the damping, the screen can open or close slowly and smoothly, providing the user with a better user experience.

[0040] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the first unlocking component includes a maze lock 7, the mechanism frame 1 has a rectangular through slot, the inner side of the flip bracket 2 has a first locking block 203, and the maze lock 7 is adapted to the first locking block 203 through the rectangular through slot.

[0041] In this embodiment, the maze lock 7 adopts existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here; the internal structure of the lock cylinder of the maze lock is like a maze. Unlike ordinary locks that only have simple pin tumbler or leaf structures, it is composed of a series of complex channels, grooves and obstacles.

[0042] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the second unlocking component includes a locking hook 8. The rear side of the mechanism frame 1 has a protruding mounting bracket. The fixed end of the locking hook 8 is hinged to the lower side of the mounting bracket. The inner side of the screen 3 has a locking groove. The upper end of the inner wall of the locking groove has an extending trapezoidal groove. The extended end of the locking hook 8 has a bent hook. The hook passes through the flip bracket 2 and is adapted to the trapezoidal groove. A locking hook spring 9 is installed inside the locking hook 8. One end of the locking hook spring 9 is fixed to the mounting bracket, and the other end abuts against the lower end of the locking hook 8. The two sides of the locking hook 8 have outwardly extending protrusions 81. The mechanism frame 1 has a through groove for easy passage of the locking hook 8. The inner wall of the through groove has a slope 1010. When the mechanism frame 1 rotates in the first direction, the slope 1010 will gradually contact the protrusions 81. After contact, the movable end of the locking hook 8 will rotate, thereby unlocking the flip bracket 2 and the screen 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the hook-fixed mechanism frame 1 and the flip bracket 2 facilitate synchronous locking of the mechanism frame 1 and the flip bracket 2. The hook 8 is hinged, allowing for easy up-and-down movement of the hook end to unlock or lock. The hook spring 9 ensures a constant inward locking force on the hook 8. When the mechanism frame 1 rotates in the first direction, this rotation triggers a series of chain reactions. As the mechanism frame 1 rotates, the inclined surface of the groove gradually contacts the protrusions 81 on both sides of the hook 8. Due to the special shape and angle design of the inclined surface, at the moment of contact, the inclined surface applies a lateral thrust to the protrusions 81, causing the hook 8 to rotate around its fixed end. The movable end of the hook 8 (i.e., the end with the hook) correspondingly lifts upward, causing the hook to gradually disengage from the trapezoidal groove of the lock slot, thereby unlocking the flip bracket 2 and the screen 3. This unlocking method, based on a clever combination of mechanical structures, requires no additional power drive or complex electronic control. It has the advantages of simple structure, high reliability, and rapid response. It can stably perform the unlocking function in various practical application scenarios, effectively ensuring the smooth operation of screen flipping. Whether in consumer electronics products that are used frequently in daily life or in industrial control equipment displays with extremely high reliability requirements, it can demonstrate excellent performance and greatly improve the overall user experience and stability of the product.

[0044] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the interior of the mechanism frame 1 has two protruding partitions 102, and the highest point of the partitions 102 is fitted with a limiting spring 10; the inner side of the flipping bracket 2 has two protruding positioning pieces 204, the side of the positioning pieces 204 is provided with a groove 205, and one side of the limiting spring 10 has a protrusion, the protrusion and the groove 205 cooperate to form a limiting.

[0045] In this embodiment, the groove 205 is a rectangular groove with an inclined outer surface on its lower side, forming an inclined arc-shaped groove within the inclined surface. An inclined protrusion exists between the rectangular groove and the arc-shaped groove. All four sides of the groove 205 are inclined surfaces. When the mechanism frame 1 and the flipping bracket 2 are attached and fixed, the protrusion of the limiting spring 10 will be located at the top of the rectangular groove. As the flipping bracket 2 gradually rotates, the protrusion of the limiting spring 10 will gradually move to the lowest side of the arc-shaped groove. If force is continued, the protrusion of the limiting spring 10 will disengage from the arc-shaped groove. The limiting spring 10 is a thin, sheet-shaped elastic element. It generally has a certain curved shape, such as an arc or a zigzag shape. This shape allows the spring to undergo elastic deformation when subjected to external force. The protrusion of the limiting spring 10 is used to contact the component being limited.

[0046] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of magnets 11 are fixed on the inner wall of the flipping bracket 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, the arrangement of several magnets 11 facilitates the adsorption of the screen.

[0048] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a buffer nail 12 is also fixed on the mechanism frame 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, the buffer pin 12 adopts existing technology. A buffer pin typically consists of a pin head, a pin body, and a base (or fixing part). The pin head is the part that directly contacts and bears the impact, and is generally hemispherical, conical, or flat-headed. This shape design helps to disperse the impact force and avoid stress concentration. The pin body mainly serves to connect the pin head and the base, and its shape can be cylindrical, prismatic, etc. The base is used to fix the buffer pin in the corresponding position of the equipment, possibly through threaded connection, inlay, or welding. By setting the buffer pin 12, after the mechanism frame 1 rotates to a certain angle, it is limited by an external object, which then contacts the mechanism frame 1, allowing the mechanism frame 1 to rotate only to the corresponding angle. After being limited, the force of the rotating component is entirely applied to the tilting bracket 2.

[0050] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the outer side of the flip bracket 2 is further provided with a protruding bending portion 206, and the inner side of the screen 3 is provided with a slot, which is adapted to the bending portion 206.

[0051] In this embodiment, the bending direction of the bending portion 206 is opposite to the bending direction of the hook 8, so that the screen 3 can be placed more stably.

[0052] Working principle of this utility model:

[0053] Under normal conditions, the maze lock 7 and the hook 8 lock the mechanism frame 1, the flipping bracket 2, and the screen 3. After manual operation by the operator, the maze 7 unlocks the mechanism frame 1, which flips out through the hook spring 9 and rotates in the first direction. During the movement of the mechanism frame 1, the hook 8 is unlocked at the same time. After the hook 8 is unlocked, the flipping bracket 2 and the screen 3 rotate in the second direction and flip out. After the screen 3 is raised, it can be removed by hand for related operations, such as adjusting the air conditioner's on / off switch, fan speed, and temperature; the seat's massage, heating, and ventilation functions; and entertainment functions.
