In-vehicle displays primarily provide drivers with vehicle information, navigation guidance, and multimedia entertainment, greatly enhancing driving convenience and comfort.
[0003] However, in actual driving, drivers often need to use their mobile phones at the same time. Most existing in-vehicle displays only have display functions and lack designs to assist in placing mobile phones. Drivers need to purchase mobile phone holders separately, which increases the cost of use. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a vehicle display to solve the problem that most existing vehicle displays only have display functions and lack a design to assist in placing mobile phones, requiring drivers to purchase a separate mobile phone holder, which increases the cost of use.
[0005] To achieve one, some, or all of the above objectives, or other objectives, this utility model proposes a vehicle-mounted display, comprising a housing, a slider, an elastic element, a clamping arm, and a support arm. A display screen is embedded in the front sidewall of the housing. A storage groove is formed on the left or right end wall of the housing, the storage groove being arranged along the width direction of the housing. A sliding groove is formed on the upper sidewall of the storage groove, the sliding groove being arranged in the same direction as the storage groove. The slider is slidably connected within the sliding groove. The elastic element is located between the slider and the storage groove. Between the upper walls, a sliding block is driven to slide downwards. One end of the clamping arm is hinged to the lower end of the slider. The long side of the clamping arm is provided with an upper locking position for holding the upper end of the phone. One end of the support arm is hinged to the lower inner wall of the storage groove. The long side of the support arm is provided with a lower locking position for holding the lower end of the phone. The clamping arm and the support arm can be stored in the storage groove, or flipped out of the storage groove so that the upper locking position is opposite to the lower locking position. The phone can be locked between the clamping arm and the support arm through the corresponding upper and lower locking positions.
[0006] Preferably, the slider is inverted U-shaped, one end of the clamping arm is hinged to the inner wall of the slider, and when the upper and lower clamping positions are opposite each other, the side wall of the clamping arm facing away from the upper clamping position abuts against the inner bottom wall of the slider, and the side wall of the support arm facing away from the lower clamping position abuts against the lower end wall of the storage groove.
[0007] Preferably, the vehicle display further includes a motor and a lower worm and an upper worm with opposite thread directions. The hinge ends of the clamping arm and the support arm are coaxially provided with worm wheels. The lower worm is rotatably disposed in the storage groove and is arranged in the same direction as the storage groove. The lower worm meshes with the worm wheel at the end of the support arm. A slide rod with a non-circular cross-section is coaxially fixed to the upper end of the lower worm. The upper worm is a hollow structure with both ends through it. The upper worm is sleeved on the slide rod, and its inner cavity profile is adapted to the slide rod. The upper worm meshes with the worm wheel at the end of the clamping arm. A drive cavity is provided at the upper end of the side wall of the housing. The motor is disposed in the drive cavity. The upper end of the slide rod extends into the drive cavity and is driven by the motor.
[0008] Preferably, a slot is provided on one long wall of both the clamping arm and the support arm along the length direction. The slot passes through the end of the clamping arm and the support arm away from the hinge end. The slot on the clamping arm forms an upper locking position, and the slot on the support arm forms a lower locking position.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom wall of each slot is provided with an anti-slip pad.
[0010] Preferably, the elastic element is a spring, one end of which abuts against the upper end of the slider, and the other end of the spring abuts against the upper wall of the receiving groove.
[0011] Implementing the embodiments of this utility model will have the following beneficial effects:
[0012] With the aforementioned in-vehicle display, under normal conditions, both the clamping arm and the support arm are placed within the storage slot. The hinge ends of the clamping arms and the slider, as well as the hinge ends of the support arms and the inner wall of the storage cavity, are interference-fitted to resist the movement of the clamping and support arms, preventing them from easily swinging out of the storage slot and ensuring the display's integrity when folded. When the user needs to place a mobile phone, they simply need to rotate and unfold the clamping and support arms around the corresponding hinge ends, turning them both horizontally. At this point, the upper and lower locking positions are aligned, allowing the user to... Place the lower part of the phone in the lower slot, support the phone with the support arm, and then place the upper part of the phone in the upper slot. At this time, the elastic element will squeeze the slider, which will apply a downward elastic force to the clamping arm, causing the clamping arm to push the phone down and clamp the phone together with the support arm. Users can also slide the slider up the clamping arm to adjust the distance between the clamping arm and the support arm to accommodate phones of different lengths. This allows the car display to also function as a phone holder, eliminating the need for users to purchase a separate phone holder and reducing usage costs. Attached Figure Description

The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.
[0021] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a vehicle-mounted display includes a housing 1, a slider 2, an elastic element 3, a clamping arm 4, and a support arm 5. A display screen 6 is embedded in the front side wall of the housing 1. A storage groove 11 is formed on the left or right end wall of the housing 1, extending along the width of the housing 1. A sliding groove 12 is formed on the upper side wall of the storage groove 11, oriented in the same direction as the storage groove 11. The slider 2 is slidably connected within the sliding groove 12. The elastic element 3 is located between the slider 2 and the upper end wall of the storage groove 11, driving the slider 2 to slide downwards. The clamping arm 4... One end of the clamping arm 4 is hinged to the lower end of the slider 2. The long side of the clamping arm 4 has an upper locking position 41 for holding the upper part of the phone. One end of the support arm 5 is hinged to the lower inner wall of the storage groove 11. The long side of the support arm 5 has a lower locking position 51 for holding the lower part of the phone. The clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 can be stored in the storage groove 11, or flipped out of the storage groove 11 until the upper locking position 41 and the lower locking position 51 are opposite each other. The phone can be secured between the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 through the opposite upper locking position 41 and lower locking position 51. Normally, both the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 are placed in... Inside the storage slot 11, the hinge ends of the clamping arms 4 and the slider 2, and the hinge ends of the support arms 5 and the inner wall of the storage cavity, are all interference fits. This provides resistance to the swinging of the clamping arms 4 and the support arms 5, preventing them from easily swinging out of the storage slot 11 and ensuring the integrity of the display in the stored state. When the user needs to place a mobile phone, they only need to rotate and unfold the clamping arms 4 and the support arms 5 around the corresponding hinge ends, so that both are rotated to the horizontal position. At this time, the upper locking position 41 and the lower locking position 51 are opposite each other, and the user can place the lower end of the mobile phone in the lower locking position. Within 51, the phone is supported by the support arm 5, and then the upper part of the phone is placed in the upper slot 41. At this time, the elastic element 3 will squeeze the slider 2, which will apply a downward elastic force to the clamping arm 4, causing the clamping arm 4 to push the phone down and clamp the phone together with the support arm 5. The user can also slide the clamping arm 4 up by the slider 2 to adjust the distance between the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 to accommodate phones of different lengths, thereby realizing the placement of the phone. This allows the car display to also function as a phone holder, eliminating the need for users to purchase a separate phone holder and reducing the cost of use.
[0024] In one embodiment, when the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 are placed in the storage slot 11, both can be fixed by magnetic attraction to improve the stability during storage (not shown in the attached figure).
[0025] Furthermore, the slider 2 is inverted U-shaped, and one end of the clamping arm 4 is hinged to the inner wall of the slider 2. When the clamping arm 4 swings upward and extends out of the storage groove 11, and the support arm 5 swings downward and extends out of the storage groove 11, until the upper locking position 41 and the lower locking position 51 are opposite each other, the side wall of the clamping arm 4 facing away from the upper locking position 41 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the slider 2, and the side wall of the support arm 5 facing away from the lower locking position 51 abuts against the lower end wall of the storage groove 11, so as to limit the further swing of the support arm 5 and the clamping arm 4, so that the two can hold the mobile phone flat in a horizontal state.
[0026] Furthermore, the vehicle display also includes a motor 7 and a lower worm 81 and an upper worm 83 with opposite thread directions. The hinge ends of the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 are coaxially provided with worm wheels 42. The lower worm 81 is rotatably disposed within the storage groove 11 and is arranged in the same direction as the storage groove 11. The lower worm 81 meshes with the worm wheel 42 at the end of the support arm 5. A slide rod 82 with a non-circular cross-section is coaxially fixed to the upper end of the lower worm 81; in this embodiment, it is preferably hexagonal. The upper worm 83 is a hollow structure with both ends through it. The upper worm 83 is sleeved on the slide rod 82, and its inner cavity profile matches the slide rod 82. The upper worm 83 meshes with the worm wheel 42 at the end of the clamping arm 4. A drive cavity is provided at the upper end of the side wall of the housing 1. The motor 7 is disposed within the drive cavity. The upper end of the slide rod 82 extends into the drive cavity and is driven by the motor 7. Taking the support arm 5 and the clamping arm 4 as an example, when in use, the motor 7 can... The sliding rod 82 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the upper worm 83 and the lower worm 81 to rotate synchronously. The lower worm 81 drives the support arm 5 to flip downward and extend out of the storage slot 11 through the corresponding worm wheel 42, while the upper worm 83 drives the clamping arm 4 to flip upward and extend out of the storage slot 11 through the corresponding worm wheel 42, until the two are nearly horizontal to clamp the mobile phone. When the user needs to adjust the distance between the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 to accommodate a longer mobile phone, he only needs to slide the clamping arm 4 upward to drive the slider 2 to slide upward. During this period, the worm wheel 42 will synchronously drive the upper worm 83 to slide upward along the sliding rod 82 to adapt, thereby avoiding interference of the worm with the sliding of the clamping arm 4. At the same time, the elastic element 3 will always be in a compressed state, applying a reset elastic pressure to the slider 2 so that the clamping arm 4 can press down to clamp the mobile phone. The motor 7 can also drive the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 to flip and retract into the storage slot 11, on the same principle.
[0027] Specifically, by utilizing the self-locking characteristic of the worm gear, when the upper worm 83 and the lower worm 81 are stationary, the rotation of the corresponding worm wheel 42 can be restricted respectively, so that the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 are suspended and fixed, which is conducive to the two clamping the mobile phone; the output shaft of the motor 7 is drivenly connected to the upper end of the slide bar 82 through a gear (not shown in the attached figure).
[0028] Furthermore, slots are provided along the length of one side of the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5. The slots penetrate the end of the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 away from the hinge end. The slots on the clamping arm 4 form the upper slot 41, and the slots on the support arm 5 form the lower slot 51. In use, a wider mobile phone can be partially extended from the end opening of the slot, thereby further improving the compatibility of the vehicle display.
[0029] Furthermore, anti-slip pads 9 are provided on the bottom wall of the card slot. When the clamping arm 4 and the support arm 5 clamp the mobile phone, the anti-slip pads 9 can increase the frictional resistance between the bottom wall of the card slot and the end wall of the mobile phone, thereby improving the clamping stability of the mobile phone.
[0030] Furthermore, the elastic element 3 is a spring. One end of the spring abuts against the upper end of the slider 2, and the other end of the spring abuts against the upper wall of the storage groove 11. When the clamping arm 4 drives the slider 2 to slide upward, it will squeeze the spring together with the upper wall of the storage groove 11. The reaction force generated by the spring on the slider 2 drives the clamping arm 4 to clamp the mobile phone.
[0031] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model, but do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing specific embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any equivalent structures made using the content of this utility model specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
