[0030] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the utility model, please refer to Figure 1The utility model provides a kind of instrument desk 100, including front plate 1, tray 2, air outlet panel 3 and atmosphere lamp component 4, air outlet panel 3 is installed between front plate 1 and tray 2, front plate 1 is located above air outlet panel 3, tray 2 is located below air outlet panel 3, the surface of air outlet panel 3 is provided with arc long strip protrusion 31, arc long strip protrusion 31 is formed with highlight surface 311, atmosphere lamp component 4 includes light source, light guide strip 41 and fixed frame 42, fixed frame 42 is formed with the opening groove 421 being arranged towards tray 2, light source and light guide strip 41 are all installed in opening groove 421, fixed frame 42 is installed in front plate 1, light guide strip 41 is used to conduct light of light source irradiation to air outlet panel 3 and tray 2, highlight surface 311 can reflect the light tooth of light guide strip 41.It is specifically to install light source and light guide strip 41 in opening groove 421, then make opening groove 421 towards tray 2, install fixed frame 42 on front plate 1, so atmosphere lamp component 4 is installed on front plate 1, when using atmosphere lamp, light guide strip 41 projects light of light source to air outlet panel 3, because arc long strip protrusion 31 is provided on air outlet panel 3, arc long strip protrusion 31 is formed with highlight surface 311, so highlight surface 311 will form the effect of sparkling with starlight, simultaneously to give consideration to cost, the highlight surface 311 of arc long strip protrusion 31 does not use common piano lacquer spraying process or diaphragm process, but air outlet panel 3 adopts high light injection molding material and is integrally injection molded to form arc long strip protrusion 31, then it is guaranteed that highlight surface 311 glossiness by mould polishing, compared with atmosphere lamp in the prior art, the utility model cooperates atmosphere lamp with air outlet panel 3 with highlight surface 311, makes highlight surface 311 form the effect of sparkling with starlight when using atmosphere lamp, so that the environment in whole vehicle has very high delicate feeling, simultaneously need not to set up shell independently, so that the constituent piece of atmosphere lamp component 4 is reduced, production cost is reduced, so that atmosphere lamp on instrument desk 100 satisfies low production cost and high delicate feeling simultaneously.

[0031] In an embodiment, the air outlet panel 3 is provided with an air outlet knob, the surface of the air outlet knob is a circular arc electroplated surface, and the circular arc electroplated surface is used in cooperation with the light rays conducted by the light guide strip 41 to form a high-brightness reflection area. When using the atmosphere lamp, the light guide strip 41 projects the light rays emitted by the light source to the air outlet knob on the air outlet panel 3. The surface of the air outlet knob is decorated with a circular arc electroplating. When the light rays conducted by the light guide strip 41 strike the air outlet knob, the reflection surface is large and the brightness is high. At night, it is equivalent to the air outlet knob being lit by itself. The light teeth of the light guide strip 41 can also be observed at close range, sparkling with starlight. This improves the delicate feeling and facilitates accurate operation of the knob by passengers.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In an embodiment, the number of arc-shaped long strip protrusions 31 is multiple, and the multiple arc-shaped long strip protrusions 31 are arranged in the height direction of the air outlet panel 3. By arranging multiple arc-shaped long strip protrusions 31 on the air outlet panel 3, the level and three-dimensionality of the instrument panel 100 can be further significantly increased, especially when used with the ambient light, a more rich and dynamic light reflection effect can be formed, and the luxury and delicacy of the vehicle interior can be improved. The multiple spaced arc-shaped long strip protrusions 31 help to more evenly diffuse the light. The spaced arc-shaped long strip protrusions 31 can maximize their interaction with light without increasing additional material consumption. This not only ensures the aesthetics, but also considers the cost control and the feasibility of the production process.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment, the air outlet panel 3 is also provided with a plurality of planar matte surfaces 32, the multiple planar matte surfaces 32 are arranged in the height direction of the air outlet panel 3, and each planar matte surface 32 is arranged between two adjacent arc-shaped long strip protrusions 31. By inserting matte surfaces between arc-shaped long strip protrusions 31 with high light gloss, the visual complexity and level of the surface of the instrument panel 100 can be significantly increased. The contrast between the matte surface and the high-gloss surface 311 makes the overall design more rich and three-dimensional; the matte surface has a lower gloss, which can effectively reduce direct light reflection, especially during vehicle driving, avoiding interference or glare problems caused by reflections on the instrument panel 100; the matte surface not only looks good, but also provides a more comfortable tactile experience, and is less likely to show fingerprints or stains in daily use, making it easy to clean and maintain. The planar matte surface 32 is made by skin texture etching, which is lower in cost compared to painting or film technology. This arc-shaped high-gloss and planar matte surface 32 setting can also improve scratch resistance.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 In an embodiment, the surface of the tray 2 is covered with a suede skin 21. Compared with a common light surface skin, the suede skin 21 has stronger diffuse reflection of light, softer reflected light, and stronger atmosphere, and the reflected image brightness on the left and right rearview mirrors is not high, which does not affect driving and is safe.

[0035] In an embodiment, the surface of the suede skin 21 is provided with multiple triangular structures. When the ambient light assembly 4 is irradiated on the multiple triangular structures, the multiple triangular structures are more prominent, the vehicle interior is more beautiful, which can provide a delicate feeling to the user and improve the richness of the interior.

[0036] In an embodiment, the triangular structures are triangular grooves or triangular protrusions. When the ambient light assembly 4 shines on these triangular structures, whether grooves or protrusions, they can reflect and scatter light in different ways. Such a design makes the light not directly reflected back into the observer's eyes, but diffusely reflected through the special shape of the triangular structure, thereby producing a softer and more uniform lighting effect, enhancing the atmosphere in the car. The presence of triangular grooves or protrusions adds additional texture and depth to the interior, increasing visual complexity and appeal. Compared to flat designs, this three-dimensional structure can significantly improve the stereoscopic effect of the interior, making the car environment look more delicate and high-end.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 In an embodiment, the fixing frame 42 is formed with a mounting plate 421, which is provided with a clamping block 421a, and the front plate 1 is provided with a mounting rod 11, which is formed with a mounting slot 111 and a tightening block 112, and the mounting plate 421 extends into the mounting slot 111, the clamping block 421a abuts against the side of the mounting rod 11 away from the fixing frame 42, and the tightening block 112 abuts against the fixing frame 42. Specifically, the mounting plate 421 is inserted into the mounting slot 111, and then the clamping block 421a abuts against the side of the front plate 1 away from the fixing frame 42, and at this time the tightening block 112 abuts against the fixing frame 42, so that the fixing frame 42 can be stably mounted on the front plate 1. Through the cooperation between the clamping block 421a and the mounting slot 111, and the tightening block 112, it can ensure that the fixing frame 42 is firmly installed on the front plate 1, providing good support and stability, and avoiding the loosening or falling off of the components due to the vibration of the vehicle during driving. This design makes the installation of the ambient light assembly 4 simple and fast, without the need for complex tools or steps to complete the installation. The mounting plate 421 is directly inserted into the mounting slot 111 and fixed by the clamping block 421a, reducing the installation time and difficulty. When maintenance or replacement of parts is required, this structure also facilitates quick disassembly and reinstallation. By releasing the locking state of the clamping block 421a, the fixing frame 42 can be easily removed from the mounting rod 11, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0038] In an embodiment, the mounting plate 421 is provided with anti-slip teeth, which are in contact with the slot wall of the mounting slot 111. The anti-slip teeth increase the friction between the mounting plate 421 and the mounting slot 111, making the fixing frame 42 more stable and firm after installation. Even if the vehicle encounters bumps or vibrations during driving, the displacement or loosening of the fixing frame 42 can be effectively prevented.

[0039] According to another aspect of the present application, the present application also provides a vehicle, which comprises a vehicle shell and the instrument desk 100 as described above, and the instrument desk 100 is installed in the vehicle shell.

[0040] The above is only an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the protection scope of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation, direct / indirect application in other related technical fields under the technical concept of the present application, or the content of the present application specification and drawings are included in the protection scope of the present application.
