[0026] This application provides an in-vehicle structure that integrates USB and AUX functions, thus solving the technical problem that the installation of the device would alter the style and appearance of the original vehicle components.

[0027] The technical solution in this application is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and the general idea is as follows:

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this application provides an in-vehicle structure integrating USB and AUX functions, the in-vehicle structure comprising:

[0029] The upper housing 1 is provided with a first opening 2 and a second opening 3, and the upper housing 1 is installed in the hole of the cigarette lighter interface on the center console of the car.

[0030] The lower housing 4 is a separate unit, and the separate lower housing 4 is connected by snap-fit. The upper housing 1 is connected to the lower housing 4 by snap-fit.

[0031] Both the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 4 are made of plastic. The snap-fit ​​connection between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 4 is existing technology and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0032] The interface module 5 includes a first interface 6 and a second interface 7. The first opening 2 and the second opening 3 correspond to the first interface 6 and the second interface 7, respectively. The interface module 5 is disposed in the space formed by the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 4. The interface module 5 is used to match the cigarette lighter interface of the center console in the car. The interface module 5 integrating USB and AUX functions has been disclosed in the prior art, such as patent numbers CN207303591U3 and CN204858200U. This application does not improve the USB and AUX functions in the interface module 5, so the specific internal structure of the interface module 5 will not be described in detail.

[0033] The vehicle-mounted structure, which is composed of the upper housing 1, the lower housing 4, and the interface module 5, is directly installed in the cigarette lighter interface hole of the center console in the car. This avoids changes to the dashboard and does not alter the style or appearance of the original car components. The installation process is simple and convenient. During use, the user connects to the first interface 6 and the second interface 7 by inserting the corresponding connectors through the first opening 2 and the second opening 3.

[0034] Preferably, the vehicle structure also includes a protective cover 8, which is hinged to the upper housing 1. After the protective cover 8 is placed on the upper housing 1, it is secured by a snap-fit. When not in use, placing the protective cover 8 on the upper housing 1 can prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the first interface 6 and the second interface 7 through the first opening 2 and the second opening 3 respectively, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the vehicle structure.

[0035] In order to ensure that the upper housing 1 can be stably locked in the hole of the cigarette lighter interface on the center console of the car, a ring of fasteners 9 is provided on the side of the upper housing 1. After installation, the fasteners 9 are engaged with the hole of the cigarette lighter interface on the center console of the car.

[0036] Preferably, the interface module 5 is provided with at least one first positioning hole 10, and the inner side of the lower housing 4 is provided with at least one first positioning post 11. The first positioning hole 10 and the first positioning post 11 cooperate with each other. During the installation process, the interface module 5 is fixedly installed in the lower housing 4 through the first positioning hole 10 and the first positioning post 11, so that the interface module 5 is more stable in the vehicle structure.

[0037] Preferably, the interface module 5 is provided with at least one groove 12, and the inner side of the lower housing 4 is provided with at least one positioning bone 13. The groove 12 and the positioning bone 13 cooperate with each other. Both the groove 12 and the positioning bone 13 are arranged in the horizontal direction, so as to ensure that the interface module 5 will not move up and down when plugging and unplugging USB and AUX.

[0038] Preferably, the interface module 5 is provided with at least one positioning plate 14, and the inner side of the lower housing 4 is provided with at least one positioning groove 15. The positioning groove 15 and the positioning plate 14 are numerically set and cooperate with each other to ensure that the interface module 5 will not loosen in the horizontal direction when the USB and AUX are plugged in and out.

[0039] In order to ensure that the separate lower housing 4 can be aligned during installation, the separate lower housing 4 is positioned by providing a second positioning hole 16 on the inner wall of one lower housing 4 and a first positioning post 11 on the inner wall of the other lower housing 4. When installing the lower housing, the first positioning post 11 passes through the first positioning hole 10 and is then fixed in the second positioning hole 16.

[0040] To ensure more precise installation of the vehicle-mounted structure in the original vehicle mounting holes, a limiting block 17 is provided on the side of the upper housing 1. The limiting block 17 is set vertically and is inserted into the original vehicle's slot during installation to position the vehicle-mounted structure in the original vehicle mounting holes.

[0041] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

[0042] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
