Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle interior technology, specifically to a central console assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The central console assembly is a functional area located between the driver and passenger seats in a vehicle interior, typically including the center console, armrest, and secondary instrument panel. It integrates key vehicle controls (such as the gearshift, climate control, and entertainment system) and provides significant storage space. In related technologies, to meet the needs of passengers, a car refrigerator is integrated into the armrest. This car refrigerator system includes the armrest, a drive unit, a temperature regulator, and a control unit. The armrest can slide forward and backward on the bottom of the vehicle body and has a receiving cavity. The drive unit moves the armrest forward and backward. The temperature regulator is located in the armrest and is used to cool or heat the receiving cavity. The control unit is electrically connected to the drive unit and the temperature regulator, and also communicates with communication control equipment to enable both near-end and far-end control modes.

[0003] However, while the aforementioned integrated design for in-vehicle refrigerators is convenient and intuitive, making full use of the armrest space to provide passengers with immediate refrigeration or freezing functions and meet their adjustment needs, it also has limitations. It fails to fully consider the integration with other components of the central console assembly to enrich the overall vehicle functionality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a central console assembly and a vehicle that can enrich the functionality of the entire central console assembly while meeting the needs of drivers and passengers to switch the position of the armrest box.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] According to the first aspect of this application, this application provides a central console assembly for use in a vehicle. The central console assembly includes a base, an armrest box, and a sub-instrument panel. The armrest box is slidably connected to the base, and the sub-instrument panel is connected to the base. The sub-instrument panel and the armrest box are arranged sequentially along the length of the vehicle. The sub-instrument panel includes a body, which has a first receiving cavity and a first opening communicating with the first receiving cavity and the outside. The armrest box is adapted to open or close the first opening during sliding.

[0007] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the armrest box and the base in this application are designed with a sliding connection, which precisely meets the diverse needs of drivers and passengers for switching the position of the armrest box. In actual driving scenarios, drivers and passengers of different heights, users with different sitting posture habits, or even when different needs arise due to changes in road conditions and driving status during vehicle operation, can conveniently adjust the position of the armrest box to obtain the best user experience.

[0008] Meanwhile, the armrest box directly controls the opening and closing of the first opening on the sub-dashboard body during the sliding process. When the first opening is open, the driver and passengers can take items out of or put items into the first receiving cavity through the first opening. At the same time, when the armrest box closes the first opening, the first receiving cavity and the first opening are hidden, maintaining the cleanliness and beauty of the overall interior of the vehicle and effectively increasing the functional versatility of the central tunnel assembly.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the central channel assembly of this application includes a storage box slidably connected to a first receiving cavity. When the armrest box opens the first opening, the storage box is adapted to enter and exit the first receiving cavity through the first opening.

[0010] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the storage box is well protected when inside the first receiving cavity, preventing items from scattering due to bumps and shaking during vehicle operation. Simultaneously, when the armrest box closes the first opening, the storage box is concealed, which to some extent prevents items from being easily seen or taken by others, ensuring the safety of the items. It also provides users with a novel interactive experience: operating the armrest box to open the first opening allows for easy access to the storage box.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the storage box includes a first panel and a second panel disposed opposite to each other along the length direction of the vehicle, the distance between the first panel and the second panel along the length direction of the vehicle being a first distance; the armrest box slides along the length direction of the vehicle, the body includes a first surface facing the armrest box, the armrest box includes a second surface facing the body, the maximum distance between the first surface and the second surface along the length direction of the vehicle being a second distance; the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance.

[0012] According to the aforementioned technical means, since the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance, the storage box will not be obstructed by the armrest box when entering and exiting the first receiving cavity through the first opening. When the driver or passenger operates the armrest box to open the first opening and pulls out the storage box, the first and second panels can pass smoothly within the space between the armrest box and the main body, ensuring a smooth and unobstructed operation and greatly improving user convenience.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the storage box includes a second receiving cavity and a second opening communicating with the outside. Along the high-speed direction of the vehicle, the second opening is located on the top wall of the storage box.

[0014] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the second opening is located on the top wall of the storage box along the high-speed direction of the vehicle, conforming to ergonomic principles. When retrieving or placing items, drivers and passengers do not need to consciously adjust their hand angles; their arms can hang naturally, allowing for easy operation and greatly improving ease of use.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the storage box is provided with a lower locking structure, and the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity is provided with an upper locking structure that cooperates with the lower locking structure. The storage box is also provided with an unlocking module, which is adapted to separate or lock the lower locking structure and the upper locking structure. The unlocking module is used to receive unlocking information, which includes fingerprint information and / or digital password information.

[0016] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the storage box is equipped with a lower locking structure, which works in conjunction with the upper locking structure of the first receiving cavity wall to form a reliable physical protection mechanism. When the storage box is inserted into the first receiving cavity, the lower locking structure and the upper locking structure are tightly locked, effectively preventing the storage box from being accidentally pulled out. Simultaneously, the unlocking module only separates the lower locking structure from the upper locking structure upon receiving correct fingerprint information and / or digital password information, greatly enhancing the security of the items.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the body includes a third receiving cavity and a third opening connecting the third receiving cavity to the outside. The third opening is located on the top wall of the body along the height direction of the vehicle.

[0018] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the third accommodating cavity can make full use of the top space of the main body, avoiding the waste of space that may be caused by openings on the side or other positions, and making the interior space layout more reasonable.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the secondary dashboard also includes a roller shutter slidably connected to the main body, the roller shutter being used to open or close the third opening.

[0020] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the roller blind adopts a sliding connection to the main body design, which is simple and smooth to operate. Drivers and passengers can easily complete the opening and closing actions with one hand without complicated operations. At the same time, the design of the roller blind makes the opening area of ​​the third opening controllable, meeting the diverse needs of drivers and passengers.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the central channel assembly of this application further includes a wireless charging device, which includes a mounting plate rotatably connected to the main body and located on the side of the main body away from the armrest box.

[0022] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the mounting plate is rotatably connected to the main body. When the mounting plate is in a horizontal position, it provides a stable charging platform for various devices that support wireless charging. Whether it's charging a mobile phone while driving or placing other electronic devices for charging, it meets the convenient charging needs of drivers and passengers. Simultaneously, when the wireless charging function is not in use, the mounting plate can be rotated up or down to fold away, effectively saving interior space. When it's necessary to switch between the driver and front passenger seats, rotating the mounting plate up or down provides an unobstructed passage for movement, ensuring a smooth switching process.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the base is further provided with a receiving groove located on the front side of the sub-dashboard along the length of the vehicle.

[0024] Using the aforementioned technical methods, creating a storage compartment in the space in front of the sub-dashboard is a rational way to plan the limited interior space. Without increasing the overall size of the vehicle, it effectively utilizes space that might otherwise be wasted, making the interior layout more compact and rational.

[0025] According to a second aspect of this application, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including the aforementioned central console assembly and a temperature regulating device, the armrest box having a storage cavity, the temperature regulating device being disposed in the storage cavity, and the temperature regulating device being adapted to regulate the temperature inside the storage cavity.

[0026] Based on the aforementioned technologies, different temperature control modes can adapt to a wider range of storage needs. In addition to food and medicine, it can also store temperature-sensitive electronic products, cosmetics, and other items, further expanding the usage scenarios of the armrest storage compartment and increasing the functionality of the vehicle's storage space.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0028] (1) This application realizes the switching of the armrest box position and the opening and closing control of the first opening of the sub-dashboard through the linkage between the armrest box and the sub-dashboard. The storage box and the main body lock and lock structure cooperate with each other, and there are various unlocking methods. There is also a roller shutter to control the third opening, and the wireless charging device mounting plate can be rotated. In addition, the temperature adjustment device of the armrest box storage cavity meets the needs of drivers and passengers in many aspects such as storage, charging, privacy protection and item preservation, which greatly enriches the functions of the central tunnel assembly.

[0029] (2) In this application, whether it is the sliding of the armrest box, storage box, and roller blind, the rotation of the wireless charging device mounting plate, or the operation of the temperature adjustment device, all take ergonomics into full consideration, making it convenient for drivers and passengers to operate with one hand and to be easily completed during driving, reducing interference with driving and improving the convenience and comfort of use.

[0030] (3) The base of this application is equipped with a receiving groove, the sub-dashboard is equipped with various receiving cavities and the armrest box storage cavity, etc., which fully utilize the interior space and rationally plan the storage area of ​​items; at the same time, each component can be stored when not in use, avoiding occupying too much space, maximizing the use of the limited interior space, and making the interior layout more orderly.

[0031] It should be noted that the technical effects of the second implementation method can be found in the technical effects of the corresponding implementation method in the first aspect, and will not be repeated here.

[0032] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0042] In some embodiments, this application provides a vehicle. The specific type of vehicle is not specifically limited in this application; for example, the vehicle provided in this application can be an electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a solar-powered vehicle. Furthermore, the vehicle provided in this application can also be of different forms. For example, the vehicle provided in this application can be a sedan, a sport utility vehicle (SUV), or a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).

[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The vehicle in this application includes a central console assembly 001, which is located in the functional area between the driver's seat and the passenger seat. The central console assembly 001 integrates the vehicle's key control functions and also provides important storage space.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 The central console assembly 001 in this application is applied to a vehicle. The central console assembly 001 includes a base 100, an armrest box 300, and a sub-instrument panel 200. The armrest box 300 is slidably connected to the base 100, and the sub-instrument panel 200 is connected to the base 100. The sub-instrument panel 200 and the armrest box 300 are arranged sequentially along the length of the vehicle. The sub-instrument panel 200 includes a body 201. The body 201 has a first receiving cavity 2011 and a first opening 2012 connecting the first receiving cavity 2011 to the outside. The armrest box 300 is adapted to open or close the first opening 2012 during sliding.

[0045] Among them, the base 100 serves as the basic support structure for the central tunnel assembly 001 and can be fixed to the vehicle floor.

[0046] It should be noted that the armrest box 300 can slide along the width or length of the vehicle, and this application does not limit this. For ease of explanation, this application uses the example of the armrest box 300 sliding along the length of the vehicle for illustration. Figures 1-3 The X direction shown is the length direction of the vehicle.

[0047] Based on this, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and combined Figure 1 In this application, when the armrest box 300 slides backward, its front end gradually moves away from the sub-dashboard 200, exposing the first opening 2012 of the first receiving cavity 2011, through which the user can take or put items. When the armrest box 300 slides forward, its front end gradually approaches the sub-dashboard 200, eventually covering the first opening 2012, thus closing the armrest box. The first receiving cavity 2011 of the sub-dashboard 200 can be used to store items (such as mobile phones, keys, cards, etc.), while the sliding design of the armrest box 300 allows it to function as both a storage space and a device for controlling the opening and closing of the first receiving cavity 2011, achieving multi-functional integration.

[0048] The sliding of the armrest box 300 not only adjusts its own position, but also controls the availability of the first receiving cavity 2011 through the change of its relative position with the sub-dashboard 200. This application combines the storage space of the sub-dashboard 200 with the function of the armrest box 300, thereby improving the practicality and aesthetics of the central tunnel assembly 001.

[0049] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 2 In this application, the armrest box 300 is provided with a storage cavity, and the vehicle also includes a temperature regulating device, which is located in the storage cavity and is suitable for regulating the temperature inside the storage cavity.

[0050] Understandably, when the temperature control device is used for cooling, the armrest box 300 can be considered a small in-vehicle refrigerator.

[0051] Building upon this, this application expands the functionality of the armrest box 300, making it not only a regular storage space but also providing temperature control. The storage compartment can be used to refrigerate or heat items (such as beverages, food, and medicine), meeting users' storage needs for temperature-sensitive items. For example, users can enjoy cold or hot drinks at any time inside the vehicle, enhancing driving and passenger comfort.

[0052] The temperature control device is integrated into the armrest box 300, which avoids the need for an additional independent refrigerator or heater, saving interior space. The multi-functional design of the storage compartment improves space utilization.

[0053] Taking cooling regulation as an example, users select the cooling mode via the control panel or central control screen. The cooling module of the temperature regulation device then starts working, lowering the temperature inside the storage compartment through a semiconductor cooling chip or compressor cooling system. A temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the storage compartment in real time and feeds the data back to the control system to ensure the temperature is maintained within the set range.

[0054] Furthermore, this application can be equipped with multiple control modules. For example, drivers and passengers can set the temperature mode and target temperature through the control buttons on the armrest box 300, the central control screen, or the voice control system.

[0055] For example, a gravity sensor can also be installed in the storage compartment. The gravity sensor is linked to the in-vehicle screen, so that the driver and passengers can intuitively know whether there are drinks in the mini-fridge from the large screen.

[0056] As another example, please continue reading Figure 2 and combined Figure 1 In order to enable intelligent adjustment of the armrest box 300, the central channel assembly 001 also includes a motor that can drive the armrest box 300 to slide along the length of the vehicle.

[0057] Of course, the motor can be linked with the vehicle's voice control module or central control screen to enrich the diversity of vehicle interaction functions.

[0058] In other embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The armrest box 300 is also equipped with an air vent 301, which is positioned towards the rear of the vehicle along the length of the vehicle.

[0059] Furthermore, to accommodate the sliding of the armrest box 300, the air outlet 301 is connected to a telescopic air duct (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the vehicle's air conditioning system. When the armrest box 300 slides, the telescopic air duct ensures that the air outlet 301 is always connected to the air conditioning system, preventing airflow interruption due to the movement of the armrest box 300.

[0060] Based on this, this application integrates the air vent 301 into the armrest box 300, making full use of the space in the central tunnel assembly 001 and avoiding the need for additional installation of a separate air vent 301. At the same time, the air vent 301 and the telescopic air duct are hidden inside the armrest box 300, maintaining the cleanliness and aesthetics of the interior.

[0061] When the air conditioning system is activated, cold or hot air enters the telescopic duct through the main air duct. The telescopic duct delivers the airflow to the air outlet 301 inside the armrest box 300, and the air outlet 301 directs the airflow to the rear of the vehicle. When the armrest box 300 slides along the length of the vehicle, the telescopic duct extends and retracts accordingly, ensuring that the connection between the air outlet 301 and the air conditioning system is not interrupted.

[0062] For example, the telescopic duct uses a flexible material (such as rubber or silicone) and a telescopic structure (such as a corrugated pipe) to accommodate the range of motion of the armrest box 300.

[0063] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 3The central channel assembly 001 includes a storage box 202, which is slidably connected to the first receiving cavity 2011. When the armrest box 300 opens the first opening 2012, the storage box 202 is adapted to enter and exit the first receiving cavity 2011 through the first opening 2012.

[0064] Furthermore, the storage box 202 allows passengers to easily access their belongings and keeps them organized. Simultaneously, the storage box 202 is located within the first receiving cavity 2011 and is only revealed when the armrest box 300 opens the first opening 2012, ensuring the vehicle's tidiness and meeting the passengers' need for discreet storage of their items.

[0065] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 3 The storage box 202 includes a first panel and a second panel disposed opposite to each other along the length direction of the vehicle, and the distance between the first panel and the second panel along the length direction of the vehicle is a first distance; the armrest box 300 slides along the length direction of the vehicle, the body 201 includes a first surface facing the armrest box 300, the armrest box 300 includes a second surface facing the body 201, and the maximum distance between the first surface and the second surface along the length direction of the vehicle is a second distance; the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance.

[0066] Understandably, when the armrest box 300 slides along the length of the vehicle, the distance between its second surface and the first surface of the body 201 (the second distance) will change. Since the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance, the storage box 202 can always adapt to the sliding range of the armrest box 300 and maintain its functional integrity.

[0067] It should be noted that this application specifies that the first distance is less than or equal to the second distance in order to meet the needs of the driver and passengers to fully open the storage box 202. Of course, the driver and passengers can control the actual degree of opening of the storage box 202 themselves, and it does not necessarily have to be the first distance; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0068] Based on this, after the armrest box 300 slides, the storage box 202 can slide using the space between the armrest box 300 and the main body 201. In this way, the storage box 202 can still be used normally when the armrest box 300 slides, ensuring the availability of the storage box 202 and improving functionality and user experience.

[0069] The first and second distances differ for different vehicle models. For example, the first distance is greater than or equal to 100mm and less than or equal to 117mm.

[0070] Another example is that the second distance is greater than or equal to 0 mm and less than or equal to 175 mm.

[0071] In other embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 3 The storage box 202 can also utilize the principle of elastic waves to achieve its anti-pinch function. This involves embedding elastic materials (such as rubber, silicone, or springs) in the moving parts of the storage box 202 (such as the cover, slide rail, or opening edge). These elastic materials deform under external force, generating a rebound force. When a user's hand or item approaches the moving parts of the storage box 202, the elastic material makes contact and deforms first. The resulting elastic waves disperse the external force, preventing it from being directly transmitted to the user's hand or item. Simultaneously, the rebound force of the elastic material slows down the closing speed of the moving parts, further reducing the risk of pinching.

[0072] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 3 The storage box 202 includes a second receiving cavity 2021 and a second opening 2022 connecting the second receiving cavity 2021 to the outside. Along the high-speed direction of the vehicle, the second opening 2022 is located on the top wall of the storage box 202.

[0073] Building upon this, the second opening 2022 in this application is located on the top wall of the storage box 202, allowing users to directly access and place items from above, making operation more convenient. It is particularly suitable for storing frequently used small items (such as mobile phones, keys, cards, etc.), which users can easily access without bending over or turning sideways. Simultaneously, the top wall opening design prevents items from slipping out of the side wall openings when the vehicle is bumpy.

[0074] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 3 The storage box 202 is provided with a lower locking structure, and the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity 2011 is provided with an upper locking structure that cooperates with the lower locking structure. The storage box 202 is also provided with an unlocking module, which is suitable for separating or locking the lower locking structure and the upper locking structure. The unlocking module is used to receive unlocking information, which includes fingerprint information and / or digital password information.

[0075] For example, the lower locking structure is located on the storage box 202, and the lower locking structure includes a latch or a buckle. The upper locking structure is located on the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity 2011, and cooperates with the lower locking structure to realize the locking function. The unlocking module includes a fingerprint reader, a digital password input device, and a control unit for receiving and processing unlocking information.

[0076] When storage box 202 is closed, the lower locking mechanism and the upper locking mechanism work together automatically or manually to lock the box. Once locked, storage box 202 cannot be opened, ensuring the safety of the items.

[0077] Users input unlock information via fingerprint recognition or digital password input. Upon receiving the information, the unlock module verifies its validity: if the information is correct, the control unit drives the unlocking mechanism (such as an electromagnetic lock or motor) to separate the lower and upper locking structures, opening the storage compartment 202. If the information is incorrect, the unlock module refuses to unlock; in this case, a trigger warning (such as an audible alert or visual indicator light) can also be set.

[0078] It should be noted that fingerprint information is collected by a fingerprint reader and compared with pre-stored fingerprint data. Numerical password information is entered through an input device (such as a touchscreen or physical button) and compared with a preset password.

[0079] Building upon this, the combined design of the upper and lower locking mechanisms enhances the physical security of the storage box 202. Fingerprint recognition and digital password unlocking methods are simple to operate, allowing users to quickly unlock the box without carrying keys or additional devices. The intelligent design of the unlocking module improves the user experience.

[0080] Storage box 202 can be used to store valuables or personal items, and the locking function effectively protects user privacy. Fingerprint and digital password information offers high security and is difficult to crack or copy.

[0081] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The main body 201 includes a third receiving cavity 2013 and a third opening 2014 connecting the third receiving cavity 2013 with the outside. Along the height direction of the vehicle, the third opening 2014 is located on the top wall of the main body 201.

[0082] Based on this, the third accommodating cavity 2013 makes full use of the vertical space of the main body 201. The opening on the top wall is suitable for storing items of different shapes and sizes. Users can use it flexibly according to their needs. It is suitable for storing items of various shapes and sizes to meet different usage needs.

[0083] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 3 and combined Figure 1 The sub-dashboard 200 also includes a roller shutter 203, which is slidably connected to the main body 201 and is used to open or close the third opening 2014.

[0084] Based on this, closing the roller shutter 203 during vehicle operation prevents items from spilling out of the third opening 2014, ensuring a clean and safe interior. The sliding design of the roller shutter 203 allows for quick closure, adapting to unexpected situations (such as sudden braking). After closing the roller shutter 203, the third opening 2014 is completely covered, resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the sub-dashboard 200. Simultaneously, the driver and passengers can control the degree to which the roller shutter 203 opens the third opening 2014 as needed.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer back to the reference. Figure 1 and combined Figure 4 The central channel assembly 001 also includes a wireless charging device 204, which includes a mounting plate 2041. The mounting plate 2041 is rotatably connected to the main body 201 and is located on the side of the main body 201 away from the armrest box 300.

[0086] Based on this, the wireless charging device 204 is integrated into the central channel assembly 001, making full use of the interior space and avoiding the occupation of other areas. The rotating connection design of the mounting plate 2041 allows users to adjust the angle and position of the wireless charging device 204 according to their needs, adapting to the size and charging requirements of different devices.

[0087] Furthermore, when the mounting plate 2041 is folded at an angle greater than or equal to 85°, the space of the central tunnel assembly 001 is freed up, providing a convenient passage between the driver's seat and the passenger seat.
