[0027] Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail. In the case of no conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] Embodiments

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The embodiment provides a vehicle 200.

[0030] The vehicle 200 may, for example, be a fuel vehicle (such as a gasoline vehicle, a diesel vehicle, etc.), an electric vehicle (such as a pure electric vehicle, a fuel cell vehicle), or a hybrid electric vehicle.

[0031] The vehicle 200 is provided with a main driver seat 201, a co-driver seat 202, a display device assembly 100, and the like in the passenger compartment. The display device assembly 100 can be installed on a center console 203 in the passenger compartment and used as a center console screen.

[0032] The display device assembly 100 in the embodiment includes a display device 40 and a display device adjusting device 10. The display device adjusting device 10 is installed on the center console 203, and the display device 40 is installed on the display device adjusting device 10. The display device adjusting device 10 in the embodiment can drive the display device 40 to rotate to adjust the orientation of the display device 40.

[0033] For example, the display device assembly 100 is installed on the center console 203 at a position substantially between the main driver seat 201 and the co-driver seat 202. The display device 40 is driven by the display device adjusting device 10 to deflect left and right, so as to be turned to the side of the main driver or the side of the co-driver, to facilitate the use of the main driver or the co-driver.

[0034] For the convenience of description, the front-rear direction of the vehicle 200 is defined as a first direction X, and the left-right direction of the vehicle 200 is defined as a second direction Y.

[0035] Reference Figures 2-4 The display device adjusting device 10 provided by the embodiment includes a base 11, a first rack 12, a second rack 13, a driving member 14, and a gear 15.

[0036] The first rack 12 and the second rack 13 are respectively slidably connected to the base 11; the first rack 12 and the second rack 13 are respectively hinged to the display device 40. The driving member 14 is mounted to the base 11. The gear 15 is connected to the driving member 14 for rotation under the driving of the driving member 14; the gear 15 is located between the first rack 12 and the second rack 13 and is respectively engaged with the first rack 12 and the second rack 13.

[0037] The second rack 13 is hinged to the display device 40, which can be directly hinged, i.e. there is one hinged point between the second rack 13 and the display device 40; or the second rack 13 is hinged to the display device 40 through an intermediate member (such as the connecting rod 16), in which case there are two hinged points between the second rack 13 and the display device 40, one being the hinged connection between the one end of the connecting rod 16 and the second rack 13, and the other being the hinged connection between the other end of the connecting rod 16 and the display device 40. In use, the display device adjusting device 10 in the embodiment drives the gear 15 to rotate under the driving of the driving member 14, and then drives the first rack 12 and the second rack 13 to slide in opposite directions, and then drives the display device 40 to deflect. The display device adjusting device 10 drives the display device 40 to deflect by pulling the display device 40 in opposite directions through the first rack 12 and the second rack 13, which is more efficient than the existing mode of realizing the rotation of the display device 40 by using one telescopic shaft, and can realize the deflection of the display device 40 by a larger angle under the condition that the movement stroke of the rack is relatively short.

[0038] In addition, the movement mechanism of the two racks in the embodiment is more stable and efficient, and the output torque of the motor for realizing the same angle deflection is smaller.

[0039] Optionally, the base 11 is provided with a first mounting groove 17 and a second mounting groove 18, and the first mounting groove 17 and the second mounting groove 18 are arranged in parallel and at intervals. The first rack 12 is slidably fitted in the first mounting groove 17, and the second rack 13 is slidably fitted in the second mounting groove 18. By arranging the first mounting groove 17 and the second mounting groove 18, it is beneficial to make the first rack 12 and the second rack 13 slide in a determined direction, so that the turning of the display device 40 is accurate and reliable.

[0040] In the embodiment, the display device 40 has an intermediate state and a deflection state. In the intermediate state, the extension direction of the first mounting groove 17 is perpendicular to the display device 40, at this time, the light emitting surface of the display device 40 is substantially perpendicular to the front-rear direction (i.e. the first direction X) of the vehicle 200, which can be seen from the figure Figure 1The display device 40 can be deflected to different deflected states from the intermediate state to either side under the driving of the driving member 14, such as deflected to the side towards the main driver seat 201 to the left or deflected to the side towards the co-driver seat 202 to the right. Thus, the display device assembly 100 of the present embodiment can be used by the main driver or the co-driver as required.

[0041] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the first mounting slot 17 has the same slot depth as the second mounting slot 18, and in the intermediate state, the distance from the first rack 12 to the bottom surface of the first mounting slot 17 is equal to the distance from the second rack 13 to the bottom surface of the second mounting slot 18, so that the angle range of the left and right turning of the display device 40 is consistent. The slot depth of the first mounting slot 17 / second mounting slot 18 refers to the depth of the first mounting slot 17 / second mounting slot 18 along the first direction X, i.e. the distance from the opening of the first mounting slot 17 / second mounting slot 18 to the bottom surface of the first mounting slot 17 / second mounting slot 18. The distance from the first rack 12 / second rack 13 to the bottom surface of the first mounting slot 17 / second mounting slot 18 refers to the distance from the end surface of the first rack 12 / second rack 13 away from the display device 40 along the first direction X to the bottom surface of the first mounting slot 17 / second mounting slot 18 away from the display device 40.

[0042] Of course, in other embodiments, other size settings can also be used to make the angle range of the left and right turning of the display device 40 inconsistent.

[0043] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in the present embodiment, the base 11 includes a peripheral wall 19, a first inner wall 20 and a second inner wall 21. The peripheral wall 19 encloses an internal space 22, and the first inner wall 20 and the second inner wall 21 are spaced apart from each other in the internal space 22 and are fixedly connected to the peripheral wall 19, respectively. The first inner wall 20 encloses the first mounting slot 17, and the second inner wall 21 encloses the second mounting slot 18. The opposite sides of the first inner wall 20 and the second inner wall 21 are each provided with a through opening 23. The driving member 14 is connected to the peripheral wall 19, the gear 15 is connected to the output portion 26 of the driving member 14, and the two sides of the gear 15 respectively extend into the first rack 12 and the second rack 13 from the through openings 23 to engage and cooperate with the first rack 12 and the second rack 13. Thus, the base 11 has a simple and reasonable structure, and the driving member 14, the gear 15, the first rack 12 and the second rack 13 can reliably and stably cooperate on the base 11, ensuring reliable and stable transmission of these moving parts.

[0044] In addition, the first mounting slot 17 and the second mounting slot 18 have a guiding effect on the first rack 12 and the second rack 13, which is beneficial to providing the accuracy of the angle adjustment of the display device 40.

[0045] Mainly referring to Figure 3Optionally, the gear 15 is limited between two sides of the through hole 23 along the thickness direction Z of the gear 15. In this way, the movement of the gear 15 along the thickness direction Z can be limited, ensuring the stability of the position of the gear 15 and preventing the gear 15 from deflecting.

[0046] In the embodiment, gaps 28 are present between the first inner wall 20 and the second side wall 25 on the side of the first inner wall 20, and between the second inner wall 21 and the second side wall 25 on the side of the second inner wall 21. The gear 15 presses the first rack 12 against the first inner wall 20 and presses the second rack 13 against the second inner wall 21, so as to ensure the reliable engagement of the first / second rack 12 / 13 and the gear 15 and to ensure the position of the first / second rack 12 / 13 along the second direction Y remains unchanged.

[0047] Optionally, referring to Figure 3 , the peripheral wall 19 is in the shape of a rectangular frame and includes two first side walls 24 spaced apart along the thickness direction Z of the gear 15 and two second side walls 25 spaced apart along the second direction Y. The first inner wall 20 and the second inner wall 21 are respectively provided on one of the first side walls 24. The driving member 14 is a rotary motor, the output portion 26 of the driving member 14 is an output shaft 27, the driving member 14 is fixed to the other first side wall 24, and the output shaft 27 of the driving member 14 extends to the first side wall 24 on which the first inner wall 20 and the second inner wall 21 are provided and is rotationally connected to the gear 15.

[0048] In the embodiment, the first rack 12 and the second rack 13 are respectively connected to the back side of the display device 40. For example, the back side of the display device 40 is provided with a first connecting portion 41 and a second connecting portion 42 spaced apart from each other. The first connecting portion 41 is rotationally connected to the first rack 12, and the second connecting portion 42 is rotationally connected to the connecting rod 16. In this way, the display device adjusting device 10 of the embodiment can be arranged on the back side of the display device 40 as a whole, does not protrude from the outer side of the display device 40, does not block the line of sight, is easy to assemble with the display device 40, improves the convenience of the user in operating the display device 40 and improves the experience of the user in operating the display device 40, and makes the display device assembly 100 more beautiful.

[0049] Referring to Figure 4 , in the embodiment, a square connecting hole 29 is provided in the middle of the gear 15 and is used to connect the output shaft 27 of the driving member 14 (see Figure 3 ) so as to receive the torque from the driving member 14.

[0050] In summary, the display device adjusting apparatus 10 in the embodiment has the following advantages: the display device assembly 100 can be conveniently adjusted in orientation, the motion stroke of the motion mechanism (e.g. the first rack 12 and the second rack 13) is relatively short, and a large angle of deflection of the display device 40 can be achieved; the display device adjusting apparatus 10 can be arranged substantially completely on the back side of the display device 40, and has a low requirement for the surrounding motion space and does not block the line of sight.

[0051] By contrast, in the prior art, the fixed central control screen is inconvenient for the driver and the passenger to read and operate the information on the central control screen, and the man-machine comfort is poor due to the height of the driver or the passenger and the light in the vehicle. Some known central control screens of vehicles are connected with a rotating disc on the back side to achieve horizontal and vertical screen conversion, but the motion envelope is relatively large, and the space requirement for the surrounding parts is relatively high. Some other known central control screens of vehicles are connected with a sliding rail to achieve forward and backward and left and right translation, but cannot be deflected, and occupy a large space. Some other known central control screens of vehicles are electrically deflected up and down, but the angle is limited, and the structure that can achieve electric adjustment of the view angle of the driver and the passenger generally relies on a telescopic lead screw transmission, and a large stroke of the lead screw is required to deflect a large angle, the efficiency is relatively low, and the deflection angle is also limited due to the limited space.

[0052] The display device adjusting apparatus 10 in the embodiment can also be used in any scenario other than a vehicle.

[0053] For example, the display device adjusting apparatus 10 is used in a display device assembly 100 in the form of a wall-mounted display device, and the display device adjusting apparatus 100 is mounted on a building wall. In this way, the display device assembly 100 can be conveniently adjusted in orientation to facilitate the user at different positions to watch the display device 40.

[0054] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
