[0072] The technical solutions of 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 them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0073] Reference Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 An assembly diagram of the electronic product 200 and the vehicle interior parts 100 provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic product 200 provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 3 An exploded view of the vehicle interior trim 100 provided in this application embodiment; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle interior trim 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, with the second component 10 hidden.

[0074] According to a first aspect of this application, a vehicle interior trim 100 is provided, the outer surface of which is adapted to be configured as part of a vehicle interior surface, the vehicle interior trim 100 including a receiving groove 23 for receiving at least a portion of an electronic product 200.

[0075] It is understood that the outer surface can be part of the vehicle's interior trim, and at least a portion of the outer surface can be directly seen by the driver and passengers.

[0076] The electronic product 200 can be any item that needs to be placed. For example, the electronic product 200 is a microphone.

[0077] The vehicle interior trim 100 can be the housing of the instrument cluster 300. For example, the vehicle interior trim 100 is the housing of the auxiliary instrument cluster 300.

[0078] It is understood that the receiving slot 23 can be used to accommodate part or all of the electronic product 200. The shape of the receiving slot 23 is adapted to the shape of the electronic product 200. For example, the receiving slot 23 extends along the second direction X, and the microphone is in a flat position when housed within the receiving slot 23. One end of the receiving slot 23 is an arc surface corresponding to the microphone head, and the other end is an arc surface corresponding to the microphone tail. Along the second direction X, the opening in the middle of the receiving slot 23 is larger than the openings at both ends of the receiving slot 23 to facilitate the user's removal and placement of the microphone.

[0079] In this embodiment, by providing a receiving groove 23 on the outer surface of the vehicle interior trim 100 to accommodate the electronic product 200, the vehicle interior trim 100 can store the electronic product 200 outside the inherent storage compartment of the vehicle 1000. Thus, neither the receiving groove 23 nor the electronic product 200 occupies the storage space of the inherent storage compartment of the vehicle 1000, thereby improving the storage flexibility of the vehicle 1000.

[0080] In some embodiments, the vehicle interior trim 100 is an interior panel. It is understood that the vehicle interior trim 100 is a sheet material. The interior panel serves both structural support and surface decoration functions.

[0081] The vehicle interior trim 100 includes a body 70, and a receiving groove 23 is disposed on the body 70. It can be understood that the receiving groove 23 is disposed on the outer surface of the body 70.

[0082] In some embodiments, the body 70 includes a first component 20 and a second component 10 that are interconnected, and a receiving groove 23 is disposed on the first component 20.

[0083] The second component 10 is used to realize the interior decoration and structural support functions of the vehicle 1000, and at the same time provides an installation base for the first component 20, which is used to provide a housing base for the electronic product 200.

[0084] The first component 20 and the second component 10 can be integrally formed, detachably connected, or prepared separately and then welded together.

[0085] For example, the second component 10 is provided with an installation window, and the first component 20 is embedded in the installation window.

[0086] For example, the outer surface of the first component 20 smoothly transitions to the outer surface of the second component 10. This arrangement helps to improve the consistency of the interior interface of the vehicle 1000.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first component 20 and the second component 10 are detachably connected.

[0088] In one example, the first component 20 is connected to the second component 10 by a threaded fastener.

[0089] In another example, the first component 20 is snapped onto the second component 10 to reduce the assembly difficulty of the first component 20.

[0090] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the first component 20 does not extend beyond the outer surface of the second component 10. This arrangement helps to reduce the space occupied by the first component 20 outside the second component 10.

[0091] It is understood that the outer surface of the first component 20 may be lower than or flush with the outer surface of the second component 10.

[0092] In some embodiments, for aesthetic reasons, the outer surface of the first component 20 and the outer surface of the second component 10 may also have a smooth transition.

[0093] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 for Figure 4 A bottom view; Figure 6 for Figure 4 A top view. In some embodiments, the first component 20 is provided with a charging via 25, which extends through the inner and outer sides of the first component 20.

[0094] For example, a charging via 25 is disposed at the bottom of the receiving groove 23, and the electronic product 200 is provided with a conductive part 230, the conductive part 230 of the electronic product 200 facing the charging via 25. A charging device is disposed inside the first component 20, and the charging interface of the charging device passes through the charging via 25 and is electrically coupled to the conductive part 230 to facilitate charging of the electronic product 200.

[0095] In another example, the charging via 25 may not be provided. For instance, a wireless charging device may be provided inside the first component 20, which charges the electronic product 200 wirelessly. It is understood that the specific structure of the wireless charging device can be found in relevant technical documents and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0096] In some embodiments, a flexible layer 24 is provided within the receiving groove 23. By providing the flexible layer 24, the friction of the inner wall of the receiving groove 23 can be increased, thereby improving the assembly stability of the electronic product 200. Simultaneously, during the bumpy ride of the vehicle 1000, the flexible layer 24 can also absorb the impact force from the vehicle 1000, mitigating vibration of the electronic product 200 and reducing the risk of damage to the electronic product 200.

[0097] The flexible layer 24 can be made of soft rubber.

[0098] In some embodiments, the surface of the flexible layer 24 is provided with at least one protrusion, which extends along the direction from the bottom of the receiving groove 23 to the opening of the groove, so as to increase the friction of the flexible layer 24 on the electronic product 200 and improve the assembly stability of the electronic product 200.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first component 20 includes an inner support 21 and an outer support 22 connected to each other. The inner support 21 is disposed inside the outer support 22 and together with the outer support 22 defines a receiving groove 23, which faces the outer side of the outer support 22.

[0100] It is understandable that the inner support 21 is located on the inside and is a structural component that is not visible to the naked eye.

[0101] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the inner support 21 and the outer support 22 are manufactured separately. The outer support 22 has a connecting rib 221 on its inner side, and the inner support 21 has a connecting hole 211. By passing the connecting rib 221 through the connecting hole 211 and melting the connecting rib 221 with a welding tool, the inner support 21 and the outer support 22 can be fused together, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the two.

[0102] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one example, along the second direction X, the outer bracket 22 has a cutout 222 at one end corresponding to the microphone's tail and another cutout 222 at the microphone's top. Two flexible layers 24 are provided, each located on the side of the inner bracket 21 facing the outer bracket 22. Each flexible layer 24 corresponds one-to-one with a cutout 222, and each flexible layer 24 is embedded within its corresponding cutout 222. This arrangement allows the two flexible layers 24 to protect the microphone's head and tail sections respectively.

[0103] In some embodiments, at least one of the inner support 21 and the outer support 22 is injection molded.

[0104] In some embodiments, the flexible layer 24 is injection molded onto the inner support 21.

[0105] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the vehicle interior trim 100 also includes a locking mechanism 30 disposed on the body 70, the locking mechanism 30 being configured to prevent the electronic product 200 from being dislodged from the receiving slot 23 when the electronic product 200 is assembled into the receiving slot 23.

[0106] The locking mechanism 30 can be configured to restrict the electronic product 200 from being removed from the receiving groove 23 by means of pressing, abutting or snapping.

[0107] For example, the locking mechanism 30 is disposed on one side of the receiving groove 23 along the second direction X.

[0108] In this embodiment of the application, by setting a locking mechanism 30, the electronic product 200 is less likely to come out of the receiving groove 23. In this way, under the bumpy road conditions of the vehicle 1000, the electronic product 200 is less likely to pop out of the receiving groove 23, which helps to improve the assembly stability of the electronic product 200.

[0109] Figure 7 for Figure 6 Sectional view along AA; Figure 8 forFigure 7 Enlarged view of section A; Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the locking mechanism 30 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0110] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 13 and in conjunction with reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 30 includes a first bracket 31 and a locking member 33. The first bracket 31 is disposed on the body 70, and the locking member 33 is movably disposed on the first bracket 31. The locking member 33 is used to abut or lock the electronic product 200 to prevent the electronic product 200 from coming out of the receiving groove 23.

[0111] It is understood that the first bracket 31 provides a mounting base for the locking mechanism 30, and the first bracket 31 is fixedly connected to the first component 20. Exemplarily, the first bracket 31 is snapped onto the first component 20 and connected to the first component 20 via a threaded connection.

[0112] For example, the locking member 33 abuts against or latches the electronic product 200 along the second direction X. Also for example, as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the electronic product 200 is a microphone. The tail of the microphone is provided with a slot 220 that cooperates with the locking member 33. When the microphone is housed in the receiving slot 23, the locking member 33 is engaged with the slot 220.

[0113] In this embodiment, a first bracket 31 is provided so that the locking mechanism 30 can be assembled onto the body 70, and a locking member 33 is provided to lock the electronic product 200 and prevent the electronic product 200 from coming out of the receiving groove 23.

[0114] Reference Figure 13 In some embodiments, the locking member 33 is provided with a first guide portion 331, which is used to guide the locking member 33 out of the receiving groove 23 when the locking member 33 is subjected to external force. This arrangement can reduce the resistance of the end of the locking member 33 to the electronic product 200, making it easier for the electronic product 200 to be placed into the receiving groove 23.

[0115] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 30 further includes a first elastic reset member 32, the ends of which are connected to the first bracket 31 and the locking member 33 respectively, and are configured to accumulate potential energy when the locking member 33 is subjected to an external force and exits the receiving groove 23, and to drive the locking member 33 to reset and extend into the receiving groove 23 after the external force on the locking member 33 is removed, so that the locking member 33 abuts against or latches the electronic product 200.

[0116] The first elastic reset member 32 can be a spring, a spring sheet, an elastic sleeve, etc. For example, the first elastic reset member 32 is a spring.

[0117] It is understood that by setting the first elastic reset member 32, during the process of assembling the electronic product 200 into the receiving groove 23, the locking member 33 can automatically retract from the receiving groove 23, avoiding the electronic product 200 and reducing the resistance to the electronic product 200, so as to facilitate the placement of the electronic product 200 into the receiving groove 23. Under the action of the first elastic reset member 32, the locking member 33 always remains in contact with the electronic product 200, so as to lock the electronic product 200 after assembly.

[0118] For example, one end of the receiving groove 23 along the second direction X is provided with a clearance hole corresponding to the locking member 33, the locking member 33 passes through the clearance hole, and the end of the locking member 33 extends into the receiving groove 23. During the process of assembling the electronic product 200 into the receiving groove 23, the electronic product 200 applies a lateral force to the locking member 33, causing the locking member 33 to gradually exit the receiving groove 23.

[0119] For example, the first guide portion 331 is a guide slope that is inclined toward the first bracket 31. During the process of the electronic product 200 being placed into the receiving groove 23, the guide slope can disperse the force applied by the electronic product 200 to the second direction X, so that the locking member 33 exits the receiving groove 23 along the second direction X.

[0120] In some embodiments, the first elastic reset member 32 is sleeved on the locking member 33. This arrangement allows the locking member 33 to guide the first elastic reset member 32, reducing the risk of misalignment and improving the structural stability of the locking mechanism 30.

[0121] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the locking member 33 is provided with a first limiting part 332, which is located between the body 70 and the first bracket 31. The first limiting part 332 is used to restrict the first elastic reset member 32 from disengaging from the locking member 33. This arrangement can reduce the risk of the first elastic reset member 32 falling off.

[0122] For example, the first limiting part 332 is located between the first component 20 and the first bracket 31.

[0123] For example, the locking member 33 is a retaining pin, and the first limiting part 332 extends around the retaining pin in the circumferential direction.

[0124] In some embodiments, one end of the first elastic reset member 32 is connected to or abuts against the first limiting portion 332, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the first bracket 31, and the first elastic reset member 32 is limited between the first bracket 31 and the first limiting portion 332.

[0125] In this embodiment of the application, by limiting the first elastic reset member 32 between the first bracket 31 and the first limiting part 332, the risk of the first elastic reset member 32 falling off can be reduced.

[0126] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 14 , Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the unlocking mechanism 40 provided in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the vehicle interior trim 100 further includes an unlocking mechanism 40, which is configured to drive the locking member 33 out of the receiving groove 23, so that the locking member 33 is disengaged from the electronic product 200.

[0127] It is understood that the unlocking mechanism 40 is used to unlock the locking mechanism 30 so as to remove the electronic product 200 from the receiving slot 23.

[0128] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, the unlocking mechanism 40 includes a pressing body 41 and a guide rod 42 connected to each other. The pressing body 41 is slidably disposed on the body 70, and the locking member 33 is provided with a guide hole 333, through which the guide rod 42 passes.

[0129] In some embodiments, a second guide portion 334 is provided on the inner sidewall of the guide hole 333. The second guide portion 334 is used to guide the locking member 33 out of the receiving groove 23 when the locking member 33 is subjected to a force from the guide rod 42.

[0130] It is understood that pressing the unlocking mechanism 40 can drive the locking member 33 out of the receiving groove 23, thereby releasing the electronic product 200.

[0131] For example, the press body 41 is slidably disposed on the first component 20.

[0132] For example, the second guide portion 334 is a guide slope, and the second guide portion 334 has the same inclination direction as the first guide portion 331.

[0133] It is understood that when unlocking, pressing the unlocking mechanism 40, the guide rod 42 and the second guide part 334 cooperate to disperse the pressing force on the pressing body 41 to the second direction X, driving the locking member 33 to move along the second direction X, so that the end of the locking member 33 exits the receiving groove 23, thereby unlocking the unlocking mechanism 40; after the electronic product 200 is removed, the locking member 33 is reset under the action of the first elastic reset member 32, and the end of the locking member 33 extends into the slot 220. During the reset process of the locking member 33, the second guide part 334 abuts against the guide rod 42. The cooperation between the second guide part 334 and the guide rod 42 can disperse the force applied by the locking member 33 to the pressing direction, so that the pressing body 41 is automatically reset.

[0134] In one example, one of the body 41 and the first component 20 is pressed to set a guide rail, and the other has a groove that mates with the guide rail.

[0135] In one example, the first component 20 is provided with a limiting portion to prevent the pressing body 41 from disengaging from the first component 20. Exemplarily, the pressing body 41 is provided with a barb that cooperates with the limiting portion.

[0136] In this embodiment of the application, by setting a press-type unlocking mechanism 40, the locking mechanism 30 can be unlocked by pressing the unlocking mechanism 40, thereby reducing the difficulty of unlocking.

[0137] In some embodiments, the vehicle interior trim 100 further includes an ejection mechanism 50 disposed on the body 70 and configured to eject at least a portion of the electronic product 200 from the receiving slot 23 when the locking mechanism 30 unlocks the electronic product 200, so as to facilitate the removal of the electronic product 200 from the receiving slot 23.

[0138] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 15 , Figure 9 for Figure 6 Sectional view along BB; Figure 10 for Figure 9 Enlarged view of section B; Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the ejection mechanism 50 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0139] In some embodiments, the ejection mechanism 50 includes a second bracket 51 and an ejector 53. The second bracket 51 is disposed on the body 70, and the ejector 53 is movably disposed on the second bracket 51. The ejector 53 is used to abut against the electronic product 200.

[0140] It is understood that the second bracket 51 provides a mounting base for the ejector mechanism 50. In one example, the second bracket 51 is snapped onto the first component 20, and the second bracket 51 and the first component 20 are also fixedly connected by threaded connections.

[0141] For example, the ejection mechanism 50 is disposed at the bottom of the receiving groove 23, and the ejection mechanism 50 is used to eject the electronic product 200 along the height direction of the vehicle interior part 100.

[0142] In some embodiments, the ejection mechanism 50 further includes a second elastic reset member 52, the two ends of which are connected to the second support 51 and the ejector 53 respectively, and are configured to accumulate potential energy when the ejector 53 is subjected to an external force to exit the receiving groove 23, and to drive the ejector 53 to reset and extend into the receiving groove 23 when the external force on the ejector 53 is removed.

[0143] For example, the second elastic reset member 52 is a spring.

[0144] It is understandable that the ejection force of the ejection mechanism 50 varies depending on the arrangement of the electronic product 200.

[0145] In some embodiments, the opening of the receiving groove 23 faces upward, and the ejection force of the ejection mechanism 50 is arranged to be greater than the weight of the electronic product 200. When the locking mechanism 30 releases the locking of the electronic product 200, the second elastic reset member 52 drives the ejector member 53 to move in the height direction to lift at least a portion of the electronic product 200; when the electronic product 200 is placed into the receiving groove 23, by pressing down on the electronic product 200, the downward pressure and the weight of the electronic product 200 are greater than the ejection force of the ejection mechanism 50, causing the ejector member 53 to exit the receiving groove 23.

[0146] In this embodiment, the ejector 53 can automatically extend and retract by cooperating with the second bracket 51 and the ejector 53.

[0147] In some embodiments, the second elastic reset member 52 is sleeved on the ejector member 53. This arrangement allows the ejector member 53 to guide the second elastic reset member 52, reducing the risk of misalignment and improving the structural stability of the ejection mechanism 50.

[0148] Reference Figure 15 In some embodiments, the ejector 53 is provided with a second limiting part 531, which is located between the body 70 and the second bracket 51. The second limiting part 531 is used to restrict the second elastic reset member 52 from disengaging from the ejector 53.

[0149] For example, the second limiting portion 531 is a flange, and the second limiting portion 531 extends around the circumference of the ejector 53.

[0150] In this embodiment, by providing a second limiting part 531, which cooperates with the second bracket 51 to restrict the second elastic reset member 52, the risk of the second elastic reset member 52 falling off can be reduced.

[0151] In this embodiment, one end of the second elastic reset member 52 is connected to or abuts against the second limiting part 531, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the second bracket 51. The second elastic reset member 52 is confined between the second bracket 51 and the second limiting part 531. This arrangement reduces the risk of the second elastic reset member 52 falling off.

[0152] In some embodiments, the vehicle interior trim 100 also includes a clamping mechanism disposed on the body 70 for clamping the electronic product 200. This arrangement helps reduce the risk of the electronic product 200 detaching from the receiving slot 23 under bumpy road conditions in the vehicle 1000.

[0153] For example, a clamping mechanism is provided on the first component 20.

[0154] For example, the clamping mechanism and the locking mechanism 30 are spaced apart along the second direction X, the locking mechanism 30 engages the tail of the microphone with the locking member 33, and the clamping mechanism clamps the head of the microphone.

[0155] For example, along the first direction Y, the ejection mechanism 50 is located between the locking mechanism 30 and the clamping mechanism.

[0156] Reference Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 16 , Figure 11 for Figure 6 Sectional view along CC; Figure 12 for Figure 11 Enlarged view of section C; Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of the clamping mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0157] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism includes two abutting components 60 disposed opposite to each other along a first direction Y. One of the two abutting components 60 is used to abut one side of the electronic product 200, and the other is used to abut the other side of the electronic product 200. The abutting directions of the two abutting components 60 are opposite.

[0158] It is understandable that the two abutting components 60 cooperate to clamp the electronic product 200 from both sides.

[0159] The two abutting components 60 may have the same or different structures.

[0160] In some embodiments, at least one abutment component 60 includes a third bracket 61 and an abutment member 63. The third bracket 61 is disposed on the body 70, and the abutment member 63 is movably disposed on the third bracket 61 for abutting against the electronic product 200.

[0161] For example, the third bracket 61 is snapped onto the first component 20, and the third bracket 61 and the first component 20 are also fixedly connected by a threaded component.

[0162] It is understood that the abutment 63 can move along the second direction X, thereby exiting or extending into the receiving groove 23. During the process of placing the electronic product 200 into the receiving groove 23, the abutment 63 moves along the second direction X to exit the receiving groove 23, reducing the resistance it generates when assembling the electronic product 200 into the receiving groove 23. During this process, the abutment 63 always abuts against the electronic product 200.

[0163] For example, the abutment 63 is an abutment post.

[0164] In this embodiment, the electronic product 200 is clamped by two abutting members 63 abutting from both sides.

[0165] In some embodiments, the abutment assembly 60 further includes a third elastic reset member 62, the two ends of which are connected to the third bracket 61 and the abutment member 63 respectively, and are configured to accumulate potential energy when the abutment member 63 is subjected to an external force and exits the receiving groove 23, and to drive the abutment member 63 to reset and extend into the receiving groove 23 after the external force on the abutment member 63 is removed.

[0166] The third elastic reset component 62 can be a spring, a spring sheet, an elastic sleeve, or other structural components.

[0167] In this embodiment, the abutment component 60, which is formed by the cooperation of the third bracket 61, the third elastic reset member 62 and the abutment member 63, can stably abut the electronic product 200, and the clamping mechanism formed by the cooperation of two abutment components 60 can stably clamp the electronic product 200.

[0168] In some embodiments, the electronic product 200 is provided with two mating parts 210, each mating part 210 corresponding to each abutment 63.

[0169] For example, the mating part 210 is a recess, and when the electronic product 200 is housed in the receiving groove 23, the end of the abutting member 63 abuts against the corresponding recess.

[0170] Reference Figure 16 In some embodiments, the abutment 63 is provided with a third limiting part 631, which is located between the body 70 and the third bracket 61. The third limiting part 631 is used to restrict the third elastic reset member 62 from disengaging from the abutment 63.

[0171] For example, the third limiting part 631 surrounds the abutment member 63 in the circumferential direction.

[0172] In this embodiment of the application, by providing a third limiting part 631, the third elastic reset member 62 is less likely to fall off, thereby improving the structural stability of the abutment component 60.

[0173] In some embodiments, one end of the third elastic reset member 62 is connected to or abuts against the third limiting portion 631, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the third bracket 61, with the third elastic reset member 62 confined between the third bracket 61 and the third limiting portion 631. This configuration reduces the risk of the third elastic reset member 62 falling off.

[0174] In some embodiments, the abutment component 60 has the same structure as the ejection mechanism 50. This arrangement can reduce the number of required component types, reduce the number of molds, and lower production costs.

[0175] The working principle of the vehicle interior component 100 provided in this application embodiment is described in detail below, taking electronic product 200 as a microphone as an example:

[0176] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 30 locks the tail of the microphone, and the clamping mechanism clamps the head of the microphone. When placing the microphone, the head of the microphone is first placed into the receiving groove 23, and the clamping mechanism clamps the head of the microphone. Then, the tail of the microphone is pressed into the receiving groove 23, and the locking member 33 automatically engages in the slot 220 at the tail of the microphone. When it is necessary to remove the microphone, the unlocking mechanism 40 is pressed to unlock the locking mechanism 30, and the tail of the microphone is released. Under the action of the ejection mechanism 50, the microphone rotates around the clamping part of the clamping assembly, and the tail of the microphone is raised. At this time, the microphone can be removed by grasping the tail of the microphone.

[0177] By setting up a clamping mechanism to hold the microphone, the risk of damage caused by the microphone being bounced away due to the large force of the ejection mechanism can be avoided.

[0178] According to a second aspect of this application, an instrument cluster 300 is provided, including a housing and a vehicle interior trim 100 provided in any embodiment of the first aspect, wherein the second component 10 is the housing of the instrument cluster 300. Since the instrument cluster 300 includes the vehicle interior trim 100, the instrument cluster 300 has all the beneficial effects of the vehicle interior trim 100, which will not be elaborated here.

[0179] In some embodiments, the instrument cluster 300 is a sub-instrument cluster 300.

[0180] Since the secondary instrument cluster 300 is located in the center of the driver's cabin of the vehicle 1000, its area is relatively large, and its non-functional areas are decorative. Therefore, by placing the vehicle interior trim 100 on the outer shell of the secondary instrument cluster, the vehicle interior trim 100 can be flexibly placed on the secondary instrument cluster 300 according to its layout. Furthermore, the vehicle interior trim 100 can also be placed in the original decorative structure position of the secondary instrument cluster 300, thereby improving space utilization.

[0181] In addition, the secondary instrument cluster 300 is located close to the driver and front passenger, making it easy to operate and not taking up space in the vehicle's inherent storage compartment, thus helping to improve the utilization of interior space.

[0182] Reference Figure 17 , Figure 17 The present application provides a structural block diagram of a vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application. According to a third aspect of the present application, a vehicle 1000 is provided, including a vehicle interior trim 100 provided in any embodiment of the first aspect, or an instrument assembly 300 provided in any embodiment of the second aspect.

[0183] Since vehicle 1000 includes vehicle interior trim 100, vehicle 1000 has all the beneficial effects of vehicle interior trim 100, which will not be elaborated here.

[0184] The vehicle 1000 can be a gasoline-powered vehicle, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, etc., and this application does not make any specific restrictions on it.
