Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior technology, specifically to an automotive interior dashboard. Background Technology

[0002] The dashboard is an assembly in the driver's cab that houses various indicators, ignition switches, and other equipment. It reflects the operating status of various vehicle systems and provides the driver with information on vehicle operating parameters. It is the most eye-catching component in the driver's cab.

[0003] Current dashboards are installed at a fixed angle, but due to differences in driver height, they may not provide the best line of sight and reading experience, thus reducing the driving experience. In addition, existing dashboards are usually installed with screws, making it inconvenient to disassemble and repair them. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive interior dashboard that effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution.

[0006] An automotive interior dashboard includes a dashboard body and a trim panel. The dashboard body has a mounting groove with an arc-shaped inner wall. A frame is provided inside the mounting groove, and the outer surface of the frame matches the inner wall of the mounting groove. A display screen is mounted on the outer surface of the dashboard body, positioned inside the frame. Recesses are formed on both sides of the inner side of the dashboard body near the frame. Connecting shafts are connected to the outer surfaces of both sides of the frame. The ends of the connecting shafts pass through the recesses and are fitted with gears. A drive mechanism capable of driving the gears is located on the outer side of the inner side of the dashboard body near the recesses. A transmission mechanism is located between the two drive mechanisms on the inner side of the dashboard body. Two positioning blocks are mounted on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the trim panel. Fixing mechanisms that engage with the positioning blocks are provided on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the dashboard body.

[0007] Therefore, the design of the frame and mounting slot allows the frame to flip inside the mounting slot. This enables the connecting shaft to rotate through the drive and transmission mechanisms, thus adjusting the display screen angle. This provides drivers of different heights with optimal visibility and reading experience, improving the driving experience. Even after the frame is flipped to a certain angle, it maintains a good seal between the frame and the mounting slot, preventing dust from entering. Furthermore, the fixing mechanism allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the instrument panel and interior trim panel, eliminating the need for screws and improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly. This avoids the tedious screw-tightening process, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the instrument panel.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a toothed plate slidably mounted inside the groove, and the toothed plate meshes with a gear. Two first side blocks are mounted on the inner side of the instrument panel body and on the outer side of the groove. A threaded rod is rotatably connected between the two first side blocks. A drive block is mounted on the outer surface of the threaded rod and is connected to the toothed plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes two fixed blocks mounted on the inner side of the instrument panel body, a transmission shaft rotatably connected between the two fixed blocks, a first bevel gear mounted at both ends of the transmission shaft in the length direction, a second bevel gear mounted at the end of the threaded rod, and the second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear, and a motor mounted on the outer surface of one of the first side blocks, the output shaft of the motor being connected to the threaded rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes two sets of second side blocks installed on the inner side of the instrument panel body. Each set of second side blocks includes two parallel second side blocks. A slide rod is connected between the two second side blocks. A movable rod is slidably installed on the outer surface of the two slide rods. A spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the slide rod. The two ends of the spring abut against the second side block and the movable rod, respectively. Two insert plates that match the positioning inserts are installed on the outer surface of the movable rod. A first wedge block is installed on the outer surface of the movable rod between the two insert plates. A through groove is opened inside the instrument panel body. A second wedge block is arranged inside the through groove. The second wedge block is pressed and engaged with the second wedge block.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the through groove, and a limiting block is set inside the limiting groove, with the end of the limiting block connected to the second wedge block.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of the second wedge is flush with the outer surface of the instrument panel body.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows.

[0014] 1. This utility model, through the setting of the frame and the mounting groove, enables the frame to flip inside the mounting groove. This allows the connecting shaft to rotate through the transmission mechanism and the drive mechanism, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the angle of the display screen. This provides drivers of different heights with the best vision and reading experience, improving the driving experience. Furthermore, when the frame is flipped to a certain angle, the frame and the mounting groove still have good sealing properties, thus preventing dust from entering.

[0015] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the fixing mechanism, can achieve the purpose of quick disassembly and assembly between the instrument panel body and the interior panel, thereby avoiding the use of screws, improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the instrument panel body, avoiding the tedious screw tightening process, and thus facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the instrument panel body.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this utility model.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an automotive interior dashboard, including a dashboard body 100 and an interior panel 101. The dashboard body 100 has a mounting groove 108 with an arc-shaped inner wall. A frame 103 is provided inside the mounting groove 108, and the outer surface of the frame 103 matches the inner wall of the mounting groove 108. A display screen 102 is provided on the outer surface of the dashboard body 100, located inside the frame 103. Grooves 105 are provided on both sides of the inner side of the dashboard body 100, located on both sides of the frame 103. Connecting shafts 104 are connected to the outer surfaces of both sides of the frame 103. The ends of the connecting shafts 104 pass through the grooves 105 and are fitted with gears 106. A drive mechanism 200 capable of driving the gears 106 is provided on the inner side of the dashboard body 100 outside the grooves 105. A transmission mechanism 300 is provided on the inner side of the dashboard body 100 between the two drive mechanisms 200. Two positioning blocks 107 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the interior panel 101, and a fixing mechanism 400 that engages with the positioning blocks 107 is provided on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the instrument panel body 100.

[0026] During use, the instrument panel body 100 can be quickly disassembled and assembled through the insertion and engagement of the fixing mechanism 400 and the positioning plug 107, which is beneficial for the inspection and maintenance of the instrument panel body 100. When it is necessary to adjust the display angle of the display screen 102 during use, the drive mechanism 200 and the transmission mechanism 300 can be engaged to drive the gears 106 on both sides to rotate. When the gears 106 rotate, they drive the frame 103 to rotate through the connecting shaft 104, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the angle of the display screen 102. This allows the driver to obtain the best vision and reading experience, improving the driving experience. In addition, a sealing gasket (not shown in the figure) can be set on the inner wall of the mounting groove 108. Therefore, when the frame 103 is rotated to a certain angle, the frame 103 and the mounting groove 108 still have good sealing performance, thus preventing dust from entering. Furthermore, the two sides of the frame 103 can be driven at the same angle, which can provide better stability for the frame 103 and avoid the situation where the frame 103 structure is unstable due to vehicle bumps.

[0027] Specifically, the drive mechanism 200 includes a toothed plate 201 slidably installed inside the groove 105, and the toothed plate 201 is meshed with the gear 106. Two first side blocks 202 are installed on the inner side of the instrument panel body 100 and on the outer side of the groove 105. A threaded rod 203 is rotatably connected between the two first side blocks 202. A drive block 204 is installed on the outer surface of the threaded rod 203 and is connected to the toothed plate 201. When the threaded rod 203 rotates, it can drive the drive block 204 to move along its length direction and drive the toothed plate 201 to move. Since the toothed plate 201 and the gear 106 mesh with each other, the purpose of driving the gear 106 to rotate and driving the frame 103 to adjust the angle can be achieved.

[0028] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 300 includes two fixed blocks 301 mounted on the inner side of the instrument panel body 100. A transmission shaft 302 is rotatably connected between the two fixed blocks 301. A first bevel gear 303 is mounted at both ends of the transmission shaft 302 along its length. A second bevel gear 304 is mounted at the end of the threaded rod 203, and the second bevel gear 304 meshes with the first bevel gear 303. A motor 305 is mounted on the outer surface of one of the first side blocks 202. The output shaft of the motor 305 is connected to the threaded rod 203. When the motor 305 is started to drive the threaded rod 203 connected to it to rotate, the second bevel gear 304 meshes with the first bevel gear 303, thus driving the transmission shaft 302 to rotate. Through the transmission action of the transmission shaft 302, the other threaded rod 203 can be driven to rotate. Therefore, the motor 305 can simultaneously drive the two threaded rods 203 to rotate and drive the two toothed plates 201 to move simultaneously, thereby achieving the purpose of simultaneously driving the angles of both sides of the frame 103.

[0029] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 400 includes two sets of second side blocks 401 installed on the inner side of the instrument panel body 100. Each set of second side blocks 401 includes two parallel second side blocks 401. A slide rod 402 is connected between the two second side blocks 401. A movable rod 403 is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the two slide rods 402. A spring 404 is sleeved on the outer surface of the slide rod 402. The two ends of the spring 404 abut against the second side block 401 and the movable rod 403, respectively. Two insert plates 405 that match the positioning insert 107 are installed on the outer surface of the movable rod 403. A first wedge block 406 is installed on the outer surface of the movable rod 403 and between the two insert plates 405. A through groove 407 is opened inside the instrument panel body 100. A second wedge block 408 is disposed inside the through groove 407. The second wedge blocks 408 are pressed together. When the instrument panel body 100 is subjected to pressure, the second wedge block 408 is pressed together with the second wedge block 408. When disassembling, the second wedge block 408 can be pressed inward. The inclined surface of the second wedge block 408 and the inclined surface of the first wedge block 406 press against each other, thereby driving the movable rod 403 to move away from the through groove 407 and driving the two insert plates 405 to be pulled out from the through groove 407 at the same time, thus releasing the fixation. At this time, the instrument panel body 100 can be directly removed outward. When installing the instrument panel body 100, the second wedge block 408 is pressed first, driving the two movable rods 403 to move closer to each other and compress the spring 404, and causing the insert plates 405 to retract. Then, the instrument panel body 100 is installed into the interior panel 101, and the second wedge block 408 is released. At this time, the compressed spring 404 releases its elasticity, pushes the movable rod 403 to move, and drives the insert plates 405 to be re-inserted into the positioning insert 107 for fixation, thus completing the quick installation of the instrument panel body 100.

[0030] Specifically, a limiting groove 500 is provided on the inner wall of the through groove 407, and a limiting block 501 is provided inside the limiting groove 500. The end of the limiting block 501 is connected to the second wedge block 408. Through the setting of the limiting groove 500 and the limiting block 501, the second wedge block 408 can be limited to prevent it from falling out of the through groove 407 and being lost.

[0031] Specifically, the end of the second wedge block 408 is flush with the outer surface of the instrument panel body 100, making the outer surface of the instrument panel body 100 flat, smooth, and without protrusions, thus improving its aesthetics.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
