[0033] Specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the claimed embodiments are merely examples of the present invention, which may be implemented in various ways. Well-known and / or repeated functions and structures have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessary or redundant details that could obscure the present invention. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details claimed herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely to serve as the basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use the present invention in a variety of substantially any suitable detailed structures.

[0034] The first embodiment of this utility model provides a sub-instrument panel structure, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the sub-dashboard structure includes a sub-dashboard body 1 and a table assembly 2 slidably mounted within the sub-dashboard body 1. An opening 11 is provided on the rear side of the sub-dashboard body 1, where the rear side refers to the side of the sub-dashboard body 1 closest to the rear seats of the vehicle. When not in use, the table assembly 2 is housed within the sub-dashboard body 1; when in use, the table assembly 2 can be pulled out from the opening 11. The opening 11 on the rear side of the sub-dashboard allows the table assembly 2 to be supported at the rear of the sub-dashboard assembly. When the table assembly 2 is open, it provides a desktop storage function for rear passengers, meeting their needs for storing items on the desktop and improving user comfort.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a storage box 12 is provided inside the sub-instrument panel body 1. The storage box 12 has a side wall, and the table assembly 2 is slidably connected to the side wall. Here, the side wall of the storage box 12 is the rear side wall of the sub-instrument panel body 1. When the table assembly 2 is not in use, it is located on the rear side wall of the sub-instrument panel body 1, saving the overall space of the sub-instrument panel and not affecting the storage space inside the sub-instrument panel body 1, thus achieving high space utilization.

[0036] Furthermore, a partition can be installed inside the storage box 12 to divide the storage box 12 into multiple storage areas. In order to facilitate the classification of miscellaneous items in the storage box 12, the storage box 12 is divided into sections. The storage area located on the front side of the sub-dashboard body 1 is for the use of the driver and front passenger, while the storage area located on the rear side of the sub-dashboard body 1 is for the use of rear passengers. The partitioned use of the storage box 12 can improve the comfort of the user.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-6As shown, the table assembly 2 includes a table panel 21 and a fixed plate 22, which are hinged together. In the non-use state, the table panel 21 and fixed plate 22 are housed within the sub-instrument body 1. The sub-instrument body 1 has a guide groove 13, and the table panel 21 and fixed plate 22 are provided with guide rails 3 that are slidably connected to the guide groove 13. Exemplarily, two guide rails 3 are spaced apart along the length of the table panel 21 and fixed plate 22. When the table assembly 2 is needed, the table panel 21 and fixed plate 22 move along the guide groove 13 of the sub-instrument body 1 via the guide rails 3 until the table panel 21 slides out of the opening 11. The table panel 21 can then flip relative to the fixed plate 22 to form a support plate, which provides storage functionality. After the table panel 21 extends from the opening 11, the fixed plate 22 remains housed within the sub-instrument body 1, limiting one end of the table panel 21 to prevent the entire table assembly 2 from being pulled out of the opening 11. Here, the tabletop 21 and the fixing plate 22 are hinged together by hinge 23, which helps to reduce production costs. The guide groove 13 is set on the rear side wall of the sub-instrument body 1, which provides support for the tabletop assembly 2, ensuring strength and stability; and meeting the requirements of durability and stability.

[0038] In other embodiments, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the table assembly 2 includes a table panel 21 and a fixed plate 22, which are hinged together. In the non-use state, the table panel 21 and fixed plate 22 are housed within the sub-instrument body 1. The sub-instrument body 1 has a guide rail 3, and the table panel 21 and fixed plate 22 have guide grooves 13 that are slidably connected to the guide rail 3. Exemplarily, two guide grooves 14 are spaced apart along the length of the table panel 21 and fixed plate 22. When the table assembly 2 is needed, the table panel 21 and fixed plate 22 move along the guide rail 3 of the sub-instrument body 1 via the guide grooves 13 until the table panel 21 slides out of the opening 11. The table panel 21 can then flip relative to the fixed plate 22 to form a support plate, which provides storage functionality. After the table panel 21 extends from the opening 11, the fixed plate 22 remains housed within the sub-instrument body 1, limiting one end of the table panel 21 to prevent the entire table assembly 2 from being pulled out of the opening 11. When unfolded, the table 21 is positioned in front of the rear seats, similar to a household coffee table. It is at a suitable height and easy to unfold and store. The table 21 and the fixed plate 22 are hinged together by hinges 23, which helps reduce production costs. The guide rail 3 is positioned on the rear side wall of the sub-instrument panel body 1, which provides support for the table assembly 2, ensuring strength and stability; meeting the requirements for durability and stability.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, a flip-up leg 4 is also connected to the table 21. One end of the flip-up leg 4 is located near the positioning part 211 on the table 21 and is movably connected to the table 21. When the table assembly 2 is not in use, the flip-up leg 4 is in a folded state, with one end movably connected to the table 21 and the other end in contact with the body of the table 21. After the table assembly 2 is pulled out from the opening 11, the flip-up leg 4 is rotated to rotate along the table 21, supporting the flip-up leg 4 inside the vehicle (e.g., the rear floor). The flip-up leg 4 limits the other end of the table 21, thus providing support for the table 21. Supporting the table 21 on the floor inside the vehicle improves the stability of the table assembly 2 compared to supporting the table 21 on the dashboard. Even when driving on bumpy roads, the stability is higher because the flip-up leg 4 is supported on the rear floor of the vehicle. For example, two flip-up legs 4 are provided.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the end of the tabletop 21 is provided with a first connector 5, and the end of the fixing plate 22 is provided with a second connector 6 that cooperates with the first connector 5. For example, the first connector 5 is a first magnetic component, and the second connector 6 is a second magnetic component that attracts the first magnetic component; or the first connector 5 is a first snap-fit ​​part, and the second connector 6 is a second snap-fit ​​part that matches the first snap-fit ​​part.

[0041] Specifically, taking the first connecting member 5 as the first magnetic element and the second connecting member 6 as the second magnetic element as an example, the following explanation is provided. When the tabletop assembly 2 is not in use, the tabletop 21 and the fixed plate 22 are coplanar, and the first connecting member 5 and the second connecting member 6 attract each other, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the tabletop 21 and the fixed plate 22. During the process of pulling out the tabletop 21 and the fixed plate 22 together, the first connecting member 5 and the second connecting member 6 attract each other, ensuring the consistency of movement between the tabletop 21 and the fixed plate 22 and improving the stability of their movement. When the table panel 21 is pulled out from the opening 11 while the fixing plate 22 is still accommodated within the sub-dashboard body 1, the table panel 21 is flipped downwards, releasing the first connector 5 and the second connector 6 from their magnetic attraction. The table panel 21 can then be flipped relative to the fixing plate 22. When the table panel 21 is flipped to form an angle with the fixing plate 22 (for example, when the table panel 21 is horizontal), it is supported on the rear floor of the vehicle by the flipping support leg 4. Exemplarily, the first connector 5 and the second connector 6 are magnets, which are inexpensive and have a simple structure. "Flipping downwards" refers to flipping towards the side facing the rear floor of the vehicle.

[0042] When the first connecting member 5 is the first snap-fit ​​part and the second connecting member 6 is the second snap-fit ​​part that matches the first snap-fit ​​part, one of the first connecting member 5 and the second connecting member 6 is a slot and the other is a buckle. During the process of pulling out the table 21 and the fixing plate 22 together, they are snapped together and fixed. The fixing plate 22 is pulled out together with the table 21. When the table 21 is pulled out from the opening 11, a certain force is applied to the table 21 so that the buckle is disengaged from the slot. The fixation between the table 21 and the fixing plate 22 is released, and the table 21 can be flipped relative to the fixing plate 22. After the table 21 is flipped to form an angle with the fixing plate 22, it is supported on the rear floor of the vehicle by the flipping support leg 4.

[0043] The first connecting member 5 and the second connecting member 6 can also be other structures that can be connected, fixed and disconnected from each other, such as a structure that fits a pressing pin and a pin hole. The specific structure of the first connecting member 5 and the second connecting member 6 is not specifically limited in this utility model.

[0044] Furthermore, when the first connecting member 5 is a first magnetic member and the second connecting member 6 is a second magnetic member that attracts the first magnetic member, the end of the tabletop 21 where the first magnetic member is located has a first mounting hole for accommodating the first magnetic member, and the end of the fixing plate 22 where the second magnetic member is located has a second mounting hole for accommodating the second magnetic member. By placing the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member respectively in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, space is saved and the structure is more compact. For example, the first magnetic member is located at the end of the guide rail 3 of the tabletop 21, and the second magnetic member is located at the end of the guide rail 3 of the fixing plate 22.

[0045] Furthermore, the tabletop 21 has a split structure, comprising multiple interconnected panels. By setting multiple interconnected panels, only some panels can be pulled out, or all panels can be pulled out, depending on usage requirements. The flip-up support leg 4 is located near the panel with opening 11. In addition, the multiple panels can be connected by hinges 23.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the end of the tabletop 21 has a positioning part 211, which engages with the opening 11. When the tabletop assembly 2 is not in use, the positioning part 211 engages with the opening 11, preventing the entire tabletop assembly 2 from entering the interior of the sub-instrument panel body 1 and making it inconvenient to pull out. When it is necessary to pull the tabletop assembly 2 out of the sub-instrument panel body 1, the positioning part 211 can be used as a handle, improving the convenience of user operation.

[0047] Furthermore, the rear side of the sub-instrument panel body 1 has a rear trim panel, with an opening 11 disposed at the rear trim panel. The positioning part 211 matches the opening 11. When the table panel assembly 2 is not in use, the appearance of the table panel 21 is integrated with the rear trim panel of the sub-instrument panel, enhancing the aesthetics. In some embodiments, the rear trim panel is disposed above the rear side of the sub-instrument panel body 1, and in other embodiments, the rear trim panel is disposed below the rear side of the sub-instrument panel body 1.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the tabletop 21 is provided with a third connecting member 7, and the flip-up leg 4 is provided with a fourth connecting member that cooperates with the third connecting member 7. For example, the third connecting member 7 is a third magnetic member, and the fourth connecting member is a fourth magnetic member that attracts the third magnetic member; or the third connecting member 7 is a third snap-fit ​​part, and the fourth connecting member is a fourth snap-fit ​​part that matches the third snap-fit ​​part, etc. Specifically, the example of the third connecting member 7 being a third magnetic member and the fourth connecting member being a fourth magnetic member will be explained. When the tabletop assembly 2 is not in use, the third connecting member 7 and the fourth connecting member attract each other, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the flip-up leg 4 and the tabletop 21. During the process of the tabletop 21 and the fixed plate 22 being pulled out together, the third connecting member 7 and the fourth connecting member attract each other, ensuring the consistency of movement of the flip-up leg 4 and the tabletop 21, improving the stability of the movement of the tabletop 21 and the flip-up leg 4, and preventing the flip-up leg 4 from opening and obstructing the tabletop 21 from being pulled out of the opening 11 during the process of the tabletop assembly 2 being pulled out. For example, the third connector 7 and the fourth connector are magnets. Magnets are used here to connect the flip-up leg 4 and the table 21, and the parts are inexpensive and the structure is simple.

[0049] Furthermore, the table assembly 2 is angled on the side wall. When the table 21 is pulled out from the opening 11, it is easier for rear-seat users to operate and requires less effort.

[0050] Usage of the table panel assembly 2 in the sub-dashboard structure:

[0051] The tabletop 21 is pulled out by the positioning part 211. After the tabletop 21 is pulled out diagonally upward, the tabletop 21 can be flipped downward after avoiding the guide groove 13. The fixing plate 22 remains inside the guide groove 13 and plays a fixing role. The first connecting piece 5 of the bottom guide rail 3 of the tabletop 21 is separated from the second connecting piece 6 of the bottom guide rail 3 of the fixing plate 22. After the tabletop 21 is flipped horizontally, the flipping support leg 4 is flipped downward and opened. The fourth connecting piece at the end of the flipping support leg 4 is separated from the third connecting piece 7 on the bottom surface of the tabletop 21.

[0052] When the table 21 is folded up, the two flip-up legs 4 are flipped up to fit against the bottom of the table 21, and the fourth connector at the end of the flip-up legs 4 cooperates with and fixes the third connector 7 on the bottom surface of the table 21; the table 21 is flipped up until the guide rail 3 of the table 21 and the guide rail 3 of the fixing plate 22 are aligned, and the first connector 5 of the bottom guide rail 3 of the table 21 cooperates with and fixes the second connector 6 of the bottom guide rail 3 of the fixing plate 22; the table 21 is placed diagonally downward into the sub-instrument panel, and the positioning part 211 is engaged with the opening 11.

[0053] The second embodiment of this utility model provides a vehicle including the above-described sub-instrument panel structure.

[0054] A table panel assembly 2 is designed on the rear side of the sub-instrument panel body 1. When the table panel 21 is closed, its appearance is integrated with the rear trim panel of the sub-instrument panel body 1, which is aesthetically pleasing. When in use, the table panel 21 is pulled up at an angle to a certain height, then flipped down to flatten the tabletop. Finally, the flip-up legs 4 at the bottom of the tabletop are opened to support it on the floor, ensuring the stability of the tabletop. When folding up the table panel 21, the flip-up legs 4 of the table panel 21 are first flipped and closed to the bottom of the table panel 21, then the table panel 21 is flipped up to the correct position, and finally placed down into the sub-instrument panel for concealment.
