Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The center console is the area inside the vehicle located between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. It can include driving-related controls, multimedia and communication controls, information display functions, storage functions, and may also function as an armrest.

[0003] In the prior art, when installing the center console assembly, the center console assembly is inserted into the dashboard along the length of the vehicle and then fixed to the channel in the vehicle floor with fixing bolts.

[0004] However, existing assembly methods mostly rely on manual alignment or tooling-assisted positioning, resulting in low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a center console assembly and a vehicle, thereby at least addressing the problem of low assembly efficiency in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, a center console assembly is provided for a vehicle, the vehicle including a base assembly, the center console assembly being adapted to connect to the base assembly. One of the center console assembly and the base assembly has a positioning protrusion facing the other, and the other has a positioning recess that mates with the positioning protrusion.

[0008] The above technical solution provides a positioning reference for the connection between the center console assembly and the base assembly by inserting the positioning protrusion into the positioning recess during assembly. This allows for quick and accurate determination of the center console assembly's installation position in the vehicle, reducing repeated adjustments due to inaccurate positioning and thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the center console assembly includes a first connector and a center console, the first connector being connected to the lower side of the center console. A positioning recess is located on the first connector. The base assembly includes a base and a second connector connected to the base. A positioning protrusion is connected to the second connector.

[0010] The first and second connectors allow the connection points between the center console assembly and the base assembly to be concentrated on the first and second connectors, enabling more precise control over the relative positional relationship between the center console assembly and the base assembly.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the positioning protrusion structure serves as a driving element to drive the second connector to move relative to the base.

[0012] The above technical solution uses the positioning protrusion structure as a driving component, enabling the driving component to simultaneously drive the second connecting component and position the positioning recess structure. This reduces the number of devices, simplifies the structure, and thus lowers the cost.

[0013] In one possible implementation, multiple positioning recesses are provided. The number of positioning protrusions and positioning recesses are the same, and they correspond one-to-one.

[0014] Multiple positioning protrusions and recesses can more accurately determine the relative position between the two, reducing deviations and shaking during installation and improving the accuracy and stability of assembly.

[0015] In one possible implementation, one of the center console assembly and the base assembly further includes a first stop and a second stop spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle. The other of the center console assembly and the base assembly further includes a limiting protrusion structure. The limiting protrusion structure is located between the first stop and the second stop.

[0016] By placing the limiting protrusion structure between the first stop and the second stop, the relative position of the center console assembly and the base assembly in the vehicle width direction can be restricted. This improves the positional accuracy of the center console assembly during installation, thereby enhancing the overall assembly quality.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the first stop and the second stop extend along the height direction of the vehicle and are inclined.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the inclined first and second stops can provide a guiding slope for the limiting protrusion structure. When installing the center console assembly, the limiting protrusion structure can more easily slide into the correct position along the inclined surfaces of the first and second stops, reducing assembly difficulty, improving assembly efficiency, and helping to ensure assembly accuracy.

[0019] In one possible implementation, one end of the first stop is connected to one end of the second stop. The first and second stops are inclined in opposite directions from their connected ends to the ends away from each other.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the first stop and the second stop together form a trapezoidal limiting area. The limiting area provides a more stable limiting environment for the limiting protrusion structure, improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the limiting protrusion structure includes a first abutting surface toward the first stop and a second abutting surface toward the second stop. The first abutting surface abuts against the first stop, and the second abutting surface abuts against the second stop.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, the first abutting surface abuts against the first stop, and the second abutting surface abuts against the second stop, which can precisely limit the relative positions of the center console assembly and the base assembly in the width and height directions of the vehicle. This improves the installation accuracy of the center console assembly and enhances the overall assembly quality.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the center console assembly further includes a buffer member located between the first stop member and the limiting protrusion structure, and / or the buffer member located between the second stop member and the limiting protrusion structure.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, when the limiting protrusion structure collides with the stop due to vehicle vibration or other reasons, the buffer can play a buffering role and reduce the rigid impact between the two.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the center console assembly includes a first connector and a center console, the first connector being connected to the lower side of the center console. A first stop and a second stop are both connected to the first connector. The base assembly includes a base and a second connector connected to the base. At least a portion of the second connector forms a limiting protrusion structure.

[0026] In one possible implementation, one of the center console assembly and the base assembly further includes a limiting groove. The limiting groove includes a first limiting surface and a second limiting surface spaced apart along the length of the vehicle. The other of the center console assembly and the base assembly further includes a limiting member. The limiting member is located between the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface.

[0027] By limiting the limiting components along the length of the vehicle using the first and second limiting surfaces, the relative positions of the center console assembly and the base assembly in that direction can be accurately determined, ensuring that the installed center console assembly will not shift along the length of the vehicle, thus improving the accuracy and consistency of the assembly.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the limiting groove further includes: a first guide surface and a second guide surface spaced apart along the length of the vehicle. The first guide surface is connected to the first limiting surface and extends from one end connected to the first limiting surface to one end away from the first limiting surface in a direction away from the second guide surface. The second guide surface is connected to the second limiting surface and extends from one end connected to the second limiting surface to one end away from the second limiting surface in a direction away from the first guide surface.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, the inclined setting of the first and second guide surfaces can guide the assembly of the center console assembly and the base assembly. This makes it easier to align the limiting component with the opening of the limiting groove during assembly, and to install the limiting component between the first and second limiting surfaces along the guide surfaces, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the center console assembly further includes a first connecting hole, and the base assembly further includes a second connecting hole. The first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the vehicle. The center console assembly also includes a fastener. The fastener passes through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole.

[0031] A stable connection can be achieved by inserting fasteners through the first and second connecting holes. This prevents the center console assembly from shifting or loosening, ensures accurate installation, and improves the stability and reliability of the entire center console structure.

[0032] In one possible implementation, there are multiple first connecting holes, and the number of second connecting holes is the same as the number of first connecting holes, and they correspond one-to-one.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, multiple connection holes, in conjunction with corresponding fasteners, can form multiple connection points between the center console assembly and the base assembly, making the connection between the two more stable.

[0034] In one possible implementation, portions of the plurality of first connecting holes are located on a first stop. Other portions of the plurality of first connecting holes are located on a second stop. The first connecting holes located on the first stop and the first connecting holes located on the second stop are spaced apart along the length of the vehicle.

[0035] The above technical solution forms multiple support points along the length of the vehicle, which can more evenly distribute the forces generated during vehicle movement, avoid the force being concentrated in a certain area, and further enhance the stability of the connection.

[0036] Secondly, a vehicle is provided, including a base assembly and a center console assembly provided in any embodiment of the first aspect. One of the center console assembly and the base assembly has a positioning protrusion structure facing the other, and the other has a positioning recess structure that mates with the positioning protrusion structure.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0038] (1) During assembly, the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning recess to provide a positioning reference for the connection between the center console assembly and the base assembly. This allows for quick and accurate determination of the installation position of the center console assembly in the vehicle, reducing repeated adjustments due to inaccurate positioning and thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0039] (2) The positioning protrusion structure is a driving component, which enables the driving component to simultaneously drive the second connecting component and position the positioning recess structure. This reduces the number of devices, simplifies the structure, and thus reduces costs.

[0040] (3) The relative positions between the two can be determined more accurately through multiple positioning protrusions and positioning recesses, reducing deviations and shaking during installation and improving the accuracy and stability of assembly.

[0041] (4) By setting the limiting protrusion structure between the first stop and the second stop, the relative position of the center console assembly and the base assembly can be limited in the vehicle width direction. This improves the positional accuracy of the center console assembly during installation, thereby enhancing the overall assembly quality.

[0042] (5) The inclined first and second stops can provide a guiding slope for the limiting protrusion structure. When installing the center console assembly, the limiting protrusion structure can slide more easily into the correct position along the inclined surfaces of the first and second stops, reducing assembly difficulty, improving assembly efficiency, and helping to ensure assembly accuracy.

[0043] (6) The first stop and the second stop together form a trapezoidal limiting area. The limiting area provides a more stable limiting environment for the limiting protrusion structure, improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0044] (7) When the limiting protrusion structure collides with the stop due to vehicle vibration or other reasons, the buffer can play a buffering role and reduce the rigid impact between the two.

[0045] (8) By limiting the limiting component in the length direction of the vehicle through the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface, the relative position of the center console assembly and the base assembly in this direction can be accurately determined, ensuring that the center console assembly will not shift in the length direction of the vehicle after installation, thus improving the accuracy and consistency of assembly.

[0046] (9) The inclined setting of the first guide surface and the second guide surface can play a guiding role when assembling the center console assembly and the base assembly. In this way, it is easier to align the limiting member with the opening of the limiting groove during assembly, and install the limiting member in the position between the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface along the guide surface, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0047] (10) A stable connection can be achieved by fasteners passing through the first and second connecting holes. This prevents the center console assembly from shifting or loosening, ensures its accurate installation position, and improves the stability and reliability of the entire center console structure.

[0048] (11) Through the above technical solution, multiple connection holes and corresponding fasteners can cooperate to form multiple connection points between the center console assembly and the base assembly, making the connection between the two more stable.

[0049] (12) Through the above technical solution, multiple support points are formed in the length direction of the vehicle, which can more evenly distribute the force generated during vehicle operation, avoid the force being concentrated in a certain area, and further enhance the stability of the connection.

[0065] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments provided in this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0066] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this utility model and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0067] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0068] In this application, the length direction of the vehicle is represented by X, the width direction by Y, and the height direction by Z.

[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a center console assembly 100 is provided for a vehicle, the vehicle including a base assembly 200, the center console assembly 100 being adapted to connect to the base assembly 200. One of the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 is provided with a positioning protrusion structure 1 facing the other, and the other is provided with a positioning recess structure 2 that mates with the positioning protrusion structure 1.

[0070] During assembly of the center console assembly 100, the positioning protrusion 1 is inserted into the positioning recess 2, providing a positioning reference for the connection between the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200. This allows for quick and accurate determination of the installation position of the center console assembly 100 in the vehicle, reducing repeated adjustments due to inaccurate positioning and thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0071] For example, the center console assembly 100 is provided with a positioning protrusion structure 1 facing the base assembly 200, and the base assembly 200 is provided with a positioning recess structure 2.

[0072] For example, the base assembly 200 is provided with a positioning protrusion structure 1 facing the base assembly 200, and the center console assembly 100 is provided with a positioning recess structure 2. When the positioning protrusion structure 1 is inserted into the positioning recess structure 2, at least a portion of the positioning protrusion structure 1 is located in the center console assembly 100. This will be further explained below using this example.

[0073] It should be noted that the fit between the positioning protrusion 1 and the positioning recess 2 provides positioning for the center console assembly 100 to be mounted on the base assembly 200. The size of the positioning hole can be slightly larger than the size of the positioning protrusion 1. "Slightly larger" means that there is a gap between the positioning protrusion 1 and the positioning recess 2 when the positioning protrusion 1 is located in the positioning recess 2.

[0074] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the application scenarios of the embodiments of this application are first introduced before the detailed description of the embodiments of this application.

[0075] The center console assembly 100 provided in this application can be applied to vehicles.

[0076] This application also provides a vehicle, including: electric vehicles, gasoline vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, hybrid vehicles, etc., that use electricity as their energy source. The vehicle can also be a sedan, SUV, MPV, sports car, racing car, truck, engineering vehicle, special vehicle, or other vehicle that requires a center console assembly 100.

[0077] The vehicle provided in this application may also be a vehicle with six seats, such as a six-seat sedan, SUV, or MPV.

[0078] The vehicle provided in this application may also be a vehicle including first, second, and third rows of seats. Each row of seats may be a bench seat, a continuous seat, or two separate seats. Typically, the two seats in the first row or the front row are arranged on either side of the center console 02 assembly. The fixed center console 02 between the two separate seats in the second row will obstruct access from the cabin to the third row of seats.

[0079] The vehicle provided in this application includes a base assembly 200 and a center console assembly 100. One of the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 is provided with a positioning protrusion structure 1 facing the other, and the other is provided with a positioning recess structure 2 that mates with the positioning protrusion structure 1.

[0080] For example, the positioning protrusion structure 1 can be a positioning boss, and its specific shape can be conical, frustum-shaped, or cylindrical.

[0081] For example, the positioning recess structure 2 can be a positioning hole or a positioning groove.

[0082] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one possible implementation, the center console assembly 100 includes a first connector 01 and a center console 02, with the first connector 01 connected to the lower side of the center console 02. A positioning recess structure 2 is located on the first connector 01. The base assembly 200 includes a base 03 and a second connector 04 connected to the base 03. A positioning protrusion structure 1 is connected to the second connector 04.

[0083] By using the first connector 01 and the second connector 04, the connection points between the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 can be concentrated on the first connector 01 and the second connector 04. This allows for more precise control of the relative positional relationship between the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200.

[0084] The first connector 01 is connected to the lower side of the center console 02. The positioning recess structure 2 is set on the first connector 01, so that when the center console assembly 100 is connected to the base assembly 200, the force is distributed to the entire center console 02 through the first connector 01, avoiding excessive local force that could damage the center console 02.

[0085] Meanwhile, the second connector 04 connects the base 03 and the positioning protrusion structure 1, which can evenly transmit the force from the center console 02 to the base 03, enhance the stability of the entire connection structure, and protect the internal structure of the vehicle.

[0086] By integrating the positioning function into the first connector 01 and the second connector 04, the relevant components between different vehicles can have better universality and interchangeability for different models or configurations.

[0087] During the production process, the first connector 01 and the second connector 04 facilitate the standardized production and management of parts, thereby reducing production costs.

[0088] In one possible implementation, the positioning protrusion structure 1 is a driving member to drive the second connector 04 to move relative to the base 03.

[0089] For example, the second connector 04 can move relative to the base 03 along the length of the vehicle. When the vehicle includes multiple rows of seats, the drive unit can drive the second connector 04 to move relative to the base 03 between the multiple rows of seats. It is understood that when the first connector 01 is connected to the second connector 04, the movement of the second connector 04 relative to the base 03 between the multiple rows of seats can drive the center console assembly 100 to move between the second connector 04 and the base 03 between the multiple rows of seats.

[0090] The positioning protrusion structure 1 serves as a driving component, enabling it to simultaneously drive the second connecting component 04 and position the positioning recess structure 2. This reduces the number of devices, simplifies the structure, and consequently lowers costs.

[0091] In one possible implementation, the drive member is perpendicular to the second connector 04. This facilitates the installation and securing of the drive member.

[0092] In one possible implementation, the number of positioning recesses 2 is multiple. The number of positioning protrusions 1 and positioning recesses 2 are the same, and they correspond one-to-one.

[0093] The relative positions between the two can be determined more accurately by using multiple positioning protrusions 1 and positioning recesses 2, reducing deviations and shaking during installation and improving the accuracy and stability of assembly.

[0094] For example, the number of positioning recesses 2 can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more.

[0095] When there are four positioning recesses 2, the four positioning recesses 2 can be located at the four corners of the center console assembly 100. At this time, the bottom surface of the center console assembly 100 is rectangular or rectangular.

[0096] See Figure 4 As shown, in one possible embodiment, one of the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 further includes a first stop 3 and a second stop 4 spaced apart along the vehicle width direction. The other of the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 further includes a limiting protrusion structure 5. The limiting protrusion structure 5 is located between the first stop 3 and the second stop 4.

[0097] By placing the limiting protrusion 5 between the first stop 3 and the second stop 4, the relative position of the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 in the vehicle width direction can be restricted. This improves the positional accuracy of the center console assembly 100 during installation, thereby enhancing the overall assembly quality.

[0098] For example, the base assembly 200 includes a first stop 3 and a second stop 4, and the center console assembly 100 includes a limiting protrusion structure 5.

[0099] For example, the center console assembly 100 includes a first stop 3 and a second stop 4, and the base assembly 200 includes a limiting protrusion structure 5. This will be further explained below using this example.

[0100] When the center console assembly 100 needs to be assembled onto the base assembly 200 along the vehicle height, the first stop 3 and the second stop 4 provide a limit along the vehicle width direction for the center console 100, further providing positioning reference for the assembly process. During the installation of the center console assembly 100, the assembler can quickly and accurately complete the installation by aligning the limiting protrusion 5 with the area between the first stop 3 and the second stop 4, improving assembly efficiency, reducing assembly difficulty, and also helping to ensure consistency in each assembly.

[0101] See also Figure 4 As shown, in one possible implementation, the first stop 3 and the second stop 4 extend along the height direction of the vehicle and are inclined.

[0102] The inclined first stop 3 and second stop 4 can provide a guiding slope for the limiting protrusion structure 5. When installing the center console assembly 100, the limiting protrusion structure 5 can more easily slide into the correct position along the inclined surfaces of the first stop 3 and second stop 4, reducing assembly difficulty, improving assembly efficiency, and helping to ensure assembly accuracy.

[0103] Meanwhile, the contact length and area between the stop and the limiting protrusion 5 are increased by extending along the vehicle height direction. This more effectively limits the displacement of the center console assembly 100 in multiple directions during vehicle operation and also has a certain suppressive effect on swaying in the height direction.

[0104] When subjected to external impact, the inclined stop can decompose the force into components in different directions, thus playing a better role in buffering and shock absorption.

[0105] See also Figure 4 As shown, in one possible implementation, one end of the first stop 3 is connected to one end of the second stop 4. The first stop 3 and the second stop 4 are inclined in opposite directions from the end they are connected to each other to the end they are away from each other.

[0106] The first stop 3 and the second stop 4 together form a trapezoidal limiting area. The limiting area provides a more stable limiting environment for the limiting protrusion structure 5, improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0107] When the limiting protrusion 5 is subjected to external force to press against the stop, since the stop is inclined and connected at one end, the force will be dispersed and transmitted along the inclined direction of the stop. This force dispersion method allows the stop to better withstand external force, playing a role in buffering and shock absorption, thereby protecting the connection between the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 from damage.

[0108] In one possible implementation, the first stop 3 and the second stop 4 are inclined toward each other from one end connected to the other end away from the connection.

[0109] When installing the limiting protrusion structure 5, the limiting protrusion structure 5 is slid along the extending direction of the first stop 3 and the second stop 4 to the space between the first stop 3 and the second stop 4.

[0110] After being connected in the above manner, the limiting protrusion structure 5 can be engaged between the first stop 3 and the second stop 4, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0111] See also Figure 4 As shown, in one possible implementation, the limiting protrusion structure 5 includes a first abutting surface 51 facing the first stop 3 and a second abutting surface 52 facing the second stop 4. The first abutting surface 51 abuts against the first stop 3, and the second abutting surface 52 abuts against the second stop 4.

[0112] The first abutting surface 51 abuts against the first stop 3, and the second abutting surface 52 abuts against the second stop 4, which can precisely limit the relative position of the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 in the width and height directions of the vehicle. This improves the installation accuracy of the center console assembly 100 and enhances the overall assembly quality.

[0113] The two contact surfaces abut against the two stop members respectively, increasing the contact area and force between the limiting protrusion structure 5 and the stop members. This allows it to better withstand various forces generated during vehicle operation, such as vibration, bumps, and inertial forces generated during acceleration and braking. This reduces the swaying or displacement of the center console assembly 100 in all directions, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200, and reducing the possibility of abnormal noises or component damage due to loosening.

[0114] For example, both the first stop 3 and the second stop 4 can be elastic elements. When the first stop 3 and the second stop 4 are elastic elements, they can further play a role in buffering and shock absorption.

[0115] In one possible implementation, the center console assembly 100 further includes a buffer located between the stop and the limiting protrusion 5.

[0116] Through the above technical solution, when the limiting protrusion structure 5 collides with the stop due to vehicle vibration or other reasons, the buffer can play a buffering role and reduce the rigid impact between the two.

[0117] For example, the buffer can be located between the first stop 3 and the limiting protrusion 5. The buffer can also be located between the second stop 4 and the limiting protrusion 5. The buffer can also be located between the stop and the limiting protrusion 5, the stop including the first stop 3 and the second stop 4.

[0118] In one possible scenario, the collision between the limiting protrusion 5 and the stop member could generate noise. The buffer reduces the rigid impact between the two, thereby reducing collision noise, improving NVH performance, and ultimately enhancing passenger comfort.

[0119] During production and assembly, there may be certain tolerances in the size and position of parts. Buffer components can compensate for these tolerances. Even if the fit between the stop and the limiting protrusion 5 is not very precise, the buffer component can adapt to this difference through its own elastic deformation, improving the effective connection and limiting function between the two.

[0120] For example, the cushioning element is made of polyurethane rubber.

[0121] See also Figure 4 As shown, in one possible implementation, both the first stop 3 and the second stop 4 are connected to the first connector 01, and a positioning recess 2 is provided on the first connector 01. At least a portion of the second connector 04 forms a limiting protrusion 5. This reduces the number of individual components, making the structure of the center console 02 and the base assembly 200 more compact.

[0122] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one possible embodiment, one of the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 further includes a limiting groove 7. The limiting groove 7 includes a first limiting surface 71 and a second limiting surface 72 spaced apart along the length of the vehicle. The other of the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 further includes a limiting member 8. The limiting member 8 is located between the first limiting surface 71 and the second limiting surface 72.

[0123] By limiting the limiting member 8 in the vehicle length direction through the first limiting surface 71 and the second limiting surface 72, the relative position of the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 in this direction can be fixed, so that the installed center console assembly 100 will not shift in the vehicle length direction, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of assembly.

[0124] When the center console assembly 100 needs to be assembled onto the base assembly 200 along the vehicle height, the first limiting surface 71 and the second limiting surface 72 provide limiting along the vehicle length direction for the center console 100, further providing positioning reference for the assembly process. When installing the center console assembly 100, the assembler can install it by aligning the limiting member 8 with the limiting groove 7.

[0125] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one possible implementation, the limiting groove 7 further includes a first guide surface 73 and a second guide surface 74 spaced apart along the length of the vehicle. The first guide surface 73 is connected to the first limiting surface 71 and extends from one end connected to the first limiting surface 71 to the end away from the first limiting surface 71 in a direction away from the second guide surface 74. The second guide surface 74 is connected to the second limiting surface 72 and extends from one end connected to the second limiting surface 72 to the end away from the second limiting surface 72 in a direction away from the first guide surface 73.

[0126] The inclined arrangement of the first guide surface 73 and the second guide surface 74 can guide the assembly of the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200. This allows the limiting member 8 to enter the limiting groove 7 from the wider opening. Thus, during assembly, it is easier to align the limiting member 8 with the opening of the limiting groove 7 and install it between the first limiting surface 71 and the second limiting surface 72 along the guide surfaces, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0127] When the limiting member 8 is located between the first guide surface 73 and the second guide surface 74, it cannot simultaneously contact the first guide surface 73 and the second guide surface 74. In this way, a margin of error is provided for the limiting member 8 when it is installed in the length direction of the vehicle.

[0128] In some cases, the limiting groove 7 and the limiting member 8 are small in size or located in a position that is not easily observed by the assembler. Even if the limiting member 8 deviates slightly from the position of the limiting groove 7 during initial installation, it can be finely adjusted along the guide surface to allow the limiting member 8 to smoothly enter the limiting groove 7 and be accurately positioned between the first limiting surface 71 and the second limiting surface 72. The tolerance space between the first guide surface 73 and the second guide surface 74 helps to improve the success rate of assembly and reduce the risk of component damage due to assembly errors.

[0129] For example, the center console assembly 100 includes a limiting groove 7, and the base assembly 200 includes a limiting member 8.

[0130] For example, the base assembly 200 includes a limiting groove 7, and the center console assembly 100 includes a limiting member 8.

[0131] Furthermore, the first connector 01 is provided with a limiting groove 7, and the second connector 04 is connected to the limiting member 8.

[0132] For example, the limiting member 8 can be a limiting post or a limiting platform that cooperates with the limiting groove 7.

[0133] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one possible implementation, the center console assembly 100 further includes a first connecting hole 91, and the base assembly 200 further includes a second connecting hole 92. The first connecting hole 91 and the second connecting hole 92 are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the vehicle. The center console assembly 100 also includes a fastener 933. The fastener 93 passes through the first connecting hole 91 and the second connecting hole 92.

[0134] By means of fastener 93 passing through the oppositely arranged first connecting hole 91 and second connecting hole 92, the stop and limiting protrusion structure 5 are firmly connected together, thereby achieving a connection and fixation. This makes the connection between the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200 tighter and more stable.

[0135] The first connecting hole 91 and the second connecting hole 92 are arranged opposite each other along the width direction of the vehicle, providing a precise positioning reference for the fastener 93. During installation, as long as the fastener 93 is accurately inserted into these two connecting holes, the relative positional accuracy of the stop and the limiting protrusion structure 5 can be guaranteed.

[0136] For example, fastener 93 is a cylindrical pin.

[0137] In one possible implementation, the fastener 93 may be hardened to improve its hardness and wear resistance.

[0138] The tolerance range of fastener 93 is ±0.5mm to improve the installation position accuracy of the center console assembly.

[0139] For example, the first connecting hole 91 is provided on the stop member, and the second connecting hole 92 is provided on the limiting protrusion structure 5.

[0140] In one possible implementation, there are multiple first connecting holes 91, and the number of second connecting holes 92 is the same as the number of first connecting holes 91, and they correspond one-to-one.

[0141] Multiple connecting holes, in conjunction with corresponding fasteners 93, create multiple connection points between the center console assembly 100 and the base assembly 200, making the connection between the two more secure. This enhances connection stability and improves assembly precision. Furthermore, the multiple connection points also increase structural strength.

[0142] For example, the number of first connection holes 91 can be set to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or more.

[0143] For example, the number of second connection holes 92 can be set to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or more.

[0144] See also Figure 8 In one possible implementation, a portion of the plurality of first connecting holes 91 is located on the first stop 3. Other portions of the plurality of first connecting holes 91 are located on the second stop 4. The first connecting holes 91 located on the first stop 3 and the first connecting holes 91 located on the second stop 4 are spaced apart along the length of the vehicle.

[0145] Multiple support points are formed along the length of the vehicle, which can more evenly distribute the forces generated during vehicle movement, avoid the concentration of forces in a certain area, and further enhance the stability of the connection.

[0146] In one possible scenario, forces in various directions are generated during vehicle operation. By placing some of the first connecting holes 91 in the first stop 3 and others in the second stop 4, the forces generated during vehicle operation can be distributed more evenly, preventing force concentration in a certain area. This reduces deformation and damage to components caused by excessive local stress, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire structure.

[0147] It should be noted that when the first connecting hole 91 is provided on the first stop 3 and the second stop 4, the second connecting hole 92 is provided on the limiting protrusion structure 5 at the position corresponding to the first connecting hole 91, so as to meet the requirements of installing the fixing part 93.

[0148] In summary, and in conjunction with all the accompanying drawings, when installing the center console assembly 100, the positioning protrusion structure 1 and the positioning recess structure 2 first provide a positioning reference for the center console assembly 100 to be installed on the base assembly 200, so that the assembly personnel can quickly find the approximate installation range of the center console assembly 100.

[0149] Next, the center console assembly 100 is limited along the vehicle width direction by the stop and the limiting protrusion structure 5. The center console assembly 100 is also limited along the vehicle length direction by the limiting groove 7 and the limiting member 8. By limiting the center console assembly 100 in both the vehicle width and length directions, it is mounted onto the base assembly 200 along the vehicle height direction. At this point, the positioning and installation are complete.

[0150] Finally, the fastener 93 is inserted into the first connecting hole 91 and the second connecting hole 92 to complete the fixed installation of the center console assembly 100.

[0151] It should be noted that the base assembly 200 includes a base 03 and a second connector 04. The above fixing method is to fix the center console assembly 100 to the second connector 04.

[0152] In one possible embodiment provided in this application, the second connector 04 can slide relative to the base 03.

[0153] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
