[0031] Nowadays, when car owners drive out, they may temporarily occupy other people's parking spaces, block parked cars, or obstruct the road. Usually, car owners place a parking sign with their phone number on the windshield so that others can contact them quickly. However, in some technologies, parking signs are usually placed directly on the center console. In the event of sudden braking or an accident, these signs could easily fly off the center console and hit people, posing a safety hazard.

[0032] This utility model proposes a dashboard assembly for automobiles, aiming to solve the technical problem of how to improve the safety of information display devices.

[0033] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the dashboard assembly of the car includes: a dashboard body 10, the surface of which is provided with a mounting groove 11; an information display device 20, which is installed in the mounting groove 11, the information display device 20 having a display area 21 for displaying contact information, and the display area 21 being exposed through the opening of the mounting groove 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the dashboard body 10, also known as the IP (Instrument Panel), is a special component in a car that integrates safety, functionality, comfort, and aesthetics. The display area 21 of the information display device 20 is used to display contact information, which can be a phone number, mobile phone number, or a QR code for a communication software, such as the car owner's WeChat QR code. Since the dashboard body 10 is located near the windshield in the car, the information display device 20, embedded in the mounting slot 11, is also near the windshield. Thus, pedestrians outside the vehicle can see the contact information displayed on the information display device 20 through the windshield, allowing them to contact the car owner promptly.

[0035] By embedding the information display device 20 into the mounting slot 11 of the dashboard body 10, the information display device 20 can avoid occupying the dashboard body 10 surface space, reduce obstruction of the driver's line of sight, and improve driving safety. In addition, the information display device 20 and the dashboard body 10 can be more firmly connected, thereby preventing the information display device 20 from flying out and hitting the human body in an emergency, thus improving the safety of the vehicle's dashboard components.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the display area 21 is located inside the mounting groove 11 and faces the opening of the mounting groove 11. The cross-section of the display area 21 and the opening of the mounting groove 11 are set at an angle so that the display area 21 can face the windshield of the car.

[0037] The windshield of a car is usually at an angle to the surface of the dashboard 10. The plane where the display area 21 is located is also set at an angle to the groove of the mounting slot 11. This is to make the plane where the display area 21 is located at an angle to the surface of the dashboard 10, so that the windshield of the car and the plane where the display area 21 is located can be parallel. In this way, pedestrians outside the car can see the contact information on the display area 21 more clearly through the windshield of the car, thereby improving the information display effect of the information display device 20.

[0038] For example, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the information display device 20 includes a housing 22 and a cover 23. The housing 22 has a display slot 221, and the display area 21 is located in the display slot 221. The cover 23 is deformable or movably connected to the housing 22 to cover or open the opening of the display slot 221.

[0039] The cover 23 can cover or open the display area 21 by deformation or movement. For example, if the user does not want to display contact information after parking, the cover 23 can be driven to cover the display area 21 to protect their privacy. If the user needs to display contact information after parking, the cover 23 can be driven to open the display area 21. Since the display area 21 is set in the display slot 221, when the cover 23 covers the display area 21, it covers the opening of the display slot 221, thus reducing the protrusion of the cover 23 relative to the surface of the dashboard body 10. It can be understood that when the cover 23 covers the display area 21, it can also cover the opening of the mounting slot 11. In this way, when the user is driving, driving the cover 23 to cover the opening of the mounting slot 11 can improve the appearance integrity of the dashboard body 10.

[0040] The covering component 23 can be a rigid component that is not deformable but can be movable, or it can be a flexible or elastic component that is deformable. There are no restrictions here, as long as the covering component 23 can cover or open the display area 21 through deformation or movement.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the covering member 23 includes a flexible covering body 231 that can be extended and retracted. The flexible covering body 231 has an extended state that covers the opening of the display slot 221, and a retracted state that opens the opening of the display slot 221.

[0042] The flexible covering body 231 can switch between an extended state and a retracted state. When the flexible covering body 231 is in the extended state, its area is larger than the opening area of ​​the display slot 221, thus covering the opening of the display slot 221. When the flexible covering body 231 is in the retracted state, it is located entirely on one side of the opening of the display slot 221, thus opening the opening of the display slot 221.

[0043] The flexible covering body 231 can be made of fabric, leather, or other materials, without limitation. For example, the material of the flexible covering body 231 can be the same as the surface decoration layer of the dashboard body 10, so that when the flexible covering body 231 covers the display area 21, it can be integrated with the surface of the dashboard body 10 as much as possible, thereby improving the overall appearance of the dashboard body 10.

[0044] When the flexible cover body 231 is in a retracted state, it folds in a wave-like shape, which makes the shape of the flexible cover body 231 more regular when it is in a retracted state, thereby improving the appearance.

[0045] For example, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the covering member 23 also includes a fixing part 232 and a sliding part 233. The fixing part 232 and the sliding part 233 are respectively connected to the two sides of the flexible covering body 231 in the telescopic direction. The fixing part 232 is fixedly connected to the housing 22, and the sliding part 233 is slidably engaged with the housing 22 so that the sliding part 233 can move closer to or away from the fixing part 232.

[0046] The fixing part 232 can fix one side of the flexible covering body 231 to the housing 22, while the sliding part 233 can slide the other side of the flexible covering body 231 to drive the flexible covering body 231 to extend or retract. When the sliding part 233 slides away from the fixing part 232, the flexible covering body 231 is in an extended state; when the sliding part 233 slides close to the fixing part 232, the flexible covering body 231 is in a retracted state. When it is necessary to drive the flexible covering body 231 to deform, the sliding part 233 can be driven to slide, so that the driving force can first act on the sliding part 233 and not directly act on the flexible covering body 231, thereby avoiding the flexible covering body 231 from being easily pulled and damaged, thus improving the stability of the deformation process of the covering part 23 and increasing the service life of the covering part 23.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the sliding part 233 extends along the side of the flexible covering body 231, and a guide post 234 protrudes from the end of the sliding part 233 in the length direction. A guide groove 222 is provided on the top wall of the housing 22. The guide groove 222 is located on one side of the display groove 221 and extends along the sliding direction of the sliding part 233. The guide post 234 and the guide groove 222 are slidably engaged.

[0048] The length of the sliding part 233 is greater than or equal to the length of the movable side of the flexible covering body 231. The sliding part 233 can slide along the top wall of the housing 22. The guide post 234 can be protruded only at one end of the sliding part 233 in the length direction, or it can be protruded at both ends of the sliding part 233 in the length direction. There is no limitation here.

[0049] The guide post 234 and the guide groove 222 are slidably engaged, which can guide the sliding process of the sliding part 233, so that the sliding part 233 slides along the preset trajectory, thereby deforming the flexible covering body 231 in the preset direction, so as to improve the deformation stability of the flexible covering body 231.

[0050] In practical applications, the housing 22 is provided with a mounting cavity 223, the guide groove 222 passes through the mounting cavity 223, and the information display device 20 also includes a drive device 24 installed in the mounting cavity 223. The output shaft of the drive device 24 is coupled to the guide post 234 to drive the guide post 234 to slide.

[0051] The output shaft of the drive device 24 is connected to a lead screw, which extends along the length of the guide groove 222. A guide post 234 is connected to a slider, and the lead screw and slider are threaded together. Therefore, when the drive device 24 drives the lead screw to rotate, it converts the rotation of the lead screw into linear motion of the slider, which in turn drives the guide post 234 and the sliding part 233 to move linearly. For example, when the drive device 24 drives the lead screw to rotate clockwise, the slider causes the sliding part 233 to slide away from the fixed part 232; when the drive device 24 drives the lead screw to rotate counterclockwise, the slider causes the sliding part 233 to slide closer to the fixed part 232. Thus, when it is necessary to drive the cover 23 to cover or open the opening of the display slot 221, only the drive device 24 needs to be controlled, eliminating the need for the user to manually move the cover 23, thereby improving the ease of use of the information display device 20.

[0052] The main control board 25 can be installed in the mounting cavity 223. The top wall of the housing 22 can be provided with control keys. The control keys and the drive device 24 are electrically connected to the main control board 25, so that the user can control the operation of the drive device 24 by operating the control keys.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the housing 22 is provided with a mounting cavity 223 and a projection data interface 224. The information display device 20 also includes a main control board 25, a projection unit 26, and a rear projection screen 27. The main control board 25 and the projection unit 26 are mounted in the mounting cavity 223. The projection data interface 224 and the projection unit 26 are both electrically connected to the main control board 25. The projection data interface 224 is used to electrically connect to the OBD interface of the car. The rear projection screen 27 is mounted in the housing 22 and extends out of the mounting groove 11. The wall of the display groove 221 has a light outlet 225. The light outlet 225 passes through the mounting cavity 223. The projection unit 26 is located at the light outlet 225 to project images toward the back of the rear projection screen 27.

[0054] The main control board 25 is used to distribute electrical energy and transmit electrical signals. The projection unit 26 is used to convert data signals into image light for projection. The back of the rear projection screen 27 can receive the image projection from the projection unit 26 and display the projected image on the front. The projection data interface 224 is located in the part of the housing 22 embedded in the mounting slot 11, so that the projection data interface 224 and the car's OBD interface can be connected by wiring inside the dashboard body 10, thus hiding and protecting the projection data interface 224.

[0055] The OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) interface is the interface for the vehicle's on-board automatic diagnostic system. By electrically connecting the OBD interface to the projection data interface 224 of the information display device 20, the projection unit 26 can read the vehicle's speed, navigation instructions, warning signals, and other operating data, and convert the relevant data into images that are projected onto the back of the rear projection screen 27, allowing the driver to see the vehicle's operating parameters from the front of the rear projection screen 27. Because the rear projection screen 27 protrudes from the dashboard body 10, its position is higher than the vehicle's instrument panel, allowing the driver to see the vehicle's operating parameters without looking down, thus improving driving safety.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the rear projection screen 27 is rotatably connected to the top wall of the housing 22, so as to have an unfolded position that stands upright relative to the top wall of the housing 22, and a storage position that covers the opening of the display slot 221; when the rear projection screen 27 is in the storage position, and the cover 23 covers the opening of the display slot 221, the rear projection screen 27 is located below the cover 23.

[0057] The rear projection screen 27 can rotate and switch between an unfolded position and a retracted position. When in the retracted position, the rear projection screen 27 is stored within the opening of the display slot 221; when in the unfolded position, the rear projection screen 27 stands upright relative to the top wall of the housing 22. When the car is parked, the user can rotate the rear projection screen 27 to the retracted position, thus hiding and protecting it when not in use. When the rear projection screen 27 is in the unfolded position and the cover 23 is in the retracted state, the rear projection screen 27 and the cover 23 are located on opposite sides of the display slot 221. When the rear projection screen 27 is in the retracted position and the cover 23 covers the opening of the display slot 221, the rear projection screen 27 is located below the cover 23, allowing the cover 23 to also cover the rear projection screen 27, thus improving the hiding and protection effect.
