Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior technology, and in particular to a sub-instrument panel with inductive ambient lighting function. Background Technology

[0002] In today's booming automotive industry, consumers have increasingly stringent requirements for car interiors, no longer satisfied with just basic functionality, but paying more attention to the comfort, technological feel, and personalized experience that the interior brings. As a key part of the car interior, the design and optimization of the sub-instrument panel has become an important aspect of improving the overall quality of the vehicle. However, the traditional sub-instrument panel has shortcomings in many aspects, specifically as follows:

[0003] Traditional secondary dashboard lighting methods are mostly simple dome lights and local fixed light sources, which can only provide basic lighting. When driving at night, the monotonous light can easily cause visual fatigue for drivers and passengers. When creating ambient lighting in the car, dome lights and local fixed light sources require manual operation. When passengers are looking for items, going on dates, or having parties near the secondary dashboard, the practicality, experience, and convenience of the secondary dashboard lighting are reduced.

[0004] Traditional instrument panel buttons and knobs usually require bolts for fastening, making the installation and removal process cumbersome. This not only increases production and assembly time and costs but also makes later maintenance and replacement inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model relates to a secondary instrument panel with inductive ambient lighting function. The sensor sends signals to the light strip, the first ambient light, and the second ambient light, which automatically turn on to create an atmosphere inside the vehicle. For example, when the owner starts the vehicle and a passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat, the light strip illuminates soft light along both sides of the secondary instrument panel body, the first ambient light illuminates the inside of the first storage compartment, and the second ambient light also turns on, adding a warm atmosphere to the vehicle interior.

[0006] This utility model provides a secondary instrument panel with inductive ambient lighting function, specifically including: a secondary instrument panel body, a first storage compartment on one side of the secondary instrument panel body, a second storage compartment on the other side of the secondary instrument panel body, a light strip installed on each side of the secondary instrument panel body, a sensor installed above the first storage compartment with bolts, a bolt mounting hole on each side of the sensor, a second ambient light installed on one side of the second storage compartment, a movably connected support block installed on each side of the first storage compartment, a stabilizing bracket installed at the bottom of the secondary instrument panel body and the first storage compartment, and a push switch and two knobs in the middle of the secondary instrument panel body.

[0007] Furthermore, a set of positioning holes is provided on the outer edge of the sub-instrument body. The positioning holes are rectangular in structure. The upper part of the light strip is installed inside the positioning holes. A set of positioning blocks are provided on both sides of the light strip, the push switch, and the edge of the knob. The positioning blocks are cylindrical in structure. A set of mounting holes corresponding to the positioning blocks are provided on the basis of the sub-instrument body. The positioning blocks are installed inside the mounting holes.

[0008] Furthermore, a stabilizing hole is formed on one side of the first storage compartment. The stabilizing hole has an upward tilting structure, and the sensor is installed inside the stabilizing hole.

[0009] Furthermore, a horizontal sliding hole is opened on each side of the first storage slot. The sliding hole has a rectangular structure, and the support block passes through the interior of the sliding hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a horizontal mounting hole is formed at the bottom of the support block, and a first ambient light is installed inside the mounting hole. A set of annular grooves is formed on the inner side of the mounting hole, and a set of rubber rings is installed inside the annular grooves. The inner side of the rubber rings contacts the outer side of the first ambient light.

[0011] Furthermore, two symmetrically distributed stabilizing holes are provided at the bottom of the first storage compartment, and two positioning blocks are provided at the bottom of the stabilizing frame, with the positioning blocks installed inside the stabilizing holes.

[0012] Furthermore, an elastic plate is provided on one side of the stabilizing frame. The elastic plate has a cylindrical sleeve structure, and the inner side of the elastic plate is in slight contact with the bolts for mounting the sensor.

[0013] Furthermore, a set of openings are formed at the upper position of the elastic plate, and one side of the support block passes through the interior of the openings.

[0014] Furthermore, a horizontal mounting hole is provided on one side of the second storage compartment. The mounting hole has a rectangular structure. One side of the second ambient light extends into the interior of the mounting hole. The outer side of the stabilizing bracket contacts the push switch, the knob, and one side of the second ambient light, respectively.

[0015] This utility model provides a sub-dashboard with sensor-activated ambient lighting, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention utilizes a sensor, light strip, first ambient light, and second ambient light in a coordinated manner to achieve the effect of sensor-activated ambient lighting for the sub-dashboard body. When a person approaches the sensor's sensing range, the light strip, first ambient light, and second ambient light automatically illuminate. The first and second ambient lights illuminate the interior of the storage compartment, allowing passengers to clearly see the items inside even in low-light environments, thus improving the practicality of the storage compartment. At the same time, the light provides an atmosphere that is both technologically advanced and fun.

[0017] The first storage compartment is equipped with flexible support blocks on both sides. These support blocks can help hold cups and other items, reducing the swaying of cups during vehicle operation and increasing the convenience and safety of use.

[0018] The sub-instrument panel body, through the cooperation of positioning holes, positioning blocks and mounting holes, enables the quick positioning and stable installation of light strips, push switches and knobs, which facilitates production assembly and later maintenance and replacement. The design of the stabilizing bracket not only prevents the locking bolts of the sensors from loosening, but also quickly locks the position of push switches, knobs and the second ambient light without the need for bolt tightening, realizing convenient disassembly and assembly of components and improving product maintenance efficiency.

[0019] By making reasonable use of the space in the secondary instrument panel, the layout of the secondary instrument panel is more compact and reasonable, making it easier for the driver to operate. The induction ambient lighting function can also provide lighting guidance for the driver to operate knobs and push switches at night or in low light conditions, reducing misoperation and improving driving safety.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-10 :

[0044] This utility model proposes a sub-instrument panel with inductive ambient lighting function, including: a sub-instrument panel body 1, a first storage compartment 101 on one side of the sub-instrument panel body 1, a second storage compartment 102 on the other side of the sub-instrument panel body 1, a light strip 2 installed on each side of the sub-instrument panel body 1, a set of positioning holes with a rectangular structure on the outer edge of the sub-instrument panel body 1, the upper part of the light strip 2 is installed inside the positioning holes, the positioning holes achieve the effect of positioning the installation position of the light strip 2, a set of positioning blocks with a cylindrical structure are provided on both sides of the light strip 2, the push switch 6, and the edge of the knob 7, the positioning blocks are provided, and a set of mounting holes corresponding to the positioning blocks are opened on the base of the sub-instrument panel body 1, the positioning blocks are installed inside the mounting holes, the positioning blocks and mounting holes achieve the effect of further positioning the installation positions of the light strip 2, the push switch 6, and the knob 7; a sensor 3 is installed on the upper part of the first storage compartment 101 with a bolt, the second... A stabilizing hole is opened on one side of the first storage compartment 101. The stabilizing hole has an upward tilting structure. The sensor 3 is installed inside the stabilizing hole. After the sensor 3 is installed, it works with the stabilizing hole to achieve the effect of hiding and positioning the installation position. The sensor 3 can tilt upward after installation, which can expand the detection range of the sensor 3 and point the detection position of the sensor 3 towards the passenger seat. The tilting structure of the sensor 3 can detect the passenger seat at the same time. A bolt mounting hole is opened on each side of the sensor 3 for installing locking bolts. A second ambient light 8 is installed on one side of the second storage compartment 102. A movable support block 4 is installed on each side of the first storage compartment 101. A horizontal sliding hole is opened on each side of the first storage compartment 101. The sliding hole has a rectangular structure. The support block 4 passes through the interior of the sliding hole. The sliding hole achieves the effect of circumferential and vertical positioning of the support block 4. The support block 4 can move horizontally stably in the position of the sliding hole.

[0045] In this embodiment, a stabilizing bracket 5 is installed at the bottom of the sub-instrument panel body 1 and the first storage compartment 101. Two symmetrically distributed stabilizing holes are opened at the bottom of the first storage compartment 101. Two positioning blocks are provided at the bottom of the stabilizing bracket 5. The positioning blocks are installed inside the stabilizing holes. The two positioning blocks cooperate with each other to achieve the effect of lateral and circumferential positioning of the stabilizing bracket 5. An elastic plate 501 is provided on one side of the stabilizing bracket 5. The elastic plate 501 is a cylindrical sleeve structure. The inner side of the elastic plate 501 is in slight contact with the bolt on which the sensor 3 is installed. Therefore, after the stabilizing bracket 5 is installed, the elastic plate 501 can prevent the locking bolt of the sensor 3 from loosening and prevent the sensor 3 from loosening. A set of opening slots is opened at the top of the elastic plate 501. The material of the elastic plate 501 is selected from the metal material commonly used in springs in the prior art. One side of the support block 4 passes through the inside of the opening slots. The elastic plate 501 cooperates with the opening slots to achieve the effect of flexible positioning of the support block 4. When the cup is placed inside the first storage compartment 101, the support block 4 and the elastic plate 501 can help hold the cup, thereby reducing the shaking of the cup during driving.

[0046] In this embodiment, a horizontal mounting hole is opened at the bottom of the support block 4, and a first ambient light 402 is installed inside the mounting hole. A set of annular grooves is opened on the inner side of the mounting hole, and a set of rubber rings 401 is installed inside the annular grooves. The rubber rings 401 are positioned laterally in conjunction with the annular grooves. The inner side of the rubber rings 401 contacts the outer side of the first ambient light 402. Since the rubber rings 401 have an elastic friction effect, the rubber rings 401 can stably install the support block 4 inside the support block 4. The support block 4 is made of transparent plastic, which is common in the prior art. When the first ambient light 402 is illuminating, the transparent material of the support block 4 can diffuse the light, and the first ambient light 402 can provide inductive ambient lighting for the interior of the first storage compartment 101.

[0047] In this embodiment, a push-button switch 6 and two knobs 7 are located in the middle of the sub-instrument panel body 1. The push-button switch 6 is selected from a model commonly used in automotive headlights. The knobs 7 are set as the control parts for the electronic handbrake and gear shift in the prior art. The specific structure of the knobs 7 is directly selected by the operator from the prior art. The light strip 2, the first ambient light 402, and the second ambient light 8 are all selected from the prior art LED light structure. The specific size, model, and shape of the light strip 2, the first ambient light 402, and the second ambient light 8 are selected according to actual needs and installation positions. The sensor 3 is... The sensor 3 is electrically connected to the light strip 2, the first ambient light 402, and the second ambient light 8, respectively, so that the sensor 3 is electrically connected to the light strip 2, the first ambient light 402, the second ambient light 8, and the push switch 6, respectively. Referring to the prior art, the sensor 3, the light strip 2, the first ambient light 402, the second ambient light 8, and the push switch 6 form a complete inductive ambient lighting circuit. When the sensor 3 senses the movement of the reference person's body, the light strip 2, the first ambient light 402, and the second ambient light 8 automatically illuminate. The operator controls the power supply and de-energization of the sensor 3 by operating the push switch 6.

[0048] In this embodiment, a horizontal mounting hole is opened on one side of the second storage slot 102. The mounting hole has a rectangular structure, and one side of the second ambient light 8 extends into the interior of the mounting hole. The mounting hole achieves the effect of horizontal and circumferential positioning of the second ambient light 8. The outer side of the stabilizer 5 contacts one side of the push switch 6, the knob 7, and the second ambient light 8 respectively. Therefore, after installation, the stabilizer 5 can achieve the effect of quickly locking the positions of the push switch 6, the knob 7, and the second ambient light 8. The setting of the stabilizer 5 solves the problem that the push switch 6, the knob 7, and the second ambient light 8 need to be fastened with bolts, and achieves the effect of easy disassembly and assembly of the push switch 6, the knob 7, and the second ambient light 8.

[0049] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, sensor 3 is selected from existing technologies that integrate human infrared, proximity and gesture sensing. The specific size and model of sensor 3 are selected based on actual needs and a mature technology. Human infrared is used to detect whether there is someone sitting in the front passenger seat, proximity sensing is used to detect whether the user's hand or other objects are close, and gesture sensing can recognize simple hand gestures of the user, such as waving or clenching a fist.

[0050] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0051] The operator assembles the sub-instrument panel body 1, light strip 2, sensor 3, support block 4, rubber ring 401, first ambient light 402, push switch 6, knob 7, and second ambient light 8 in sequence according to the corresponding installation structure. Then, the stabilizer 5 is installed at the bottom of the sub-instrument panel body 1 for positioning. At this time, the positioning of light strip 2, sensor 3, support block 4, rubber ring 401, first ambient light 402, push switch 6, knob 7, and second ambient light 8 is completed. The sub-instrument panel body 1 needs to be installed in the center of the car for stability with reference to existing technology.

[0052] When the vehicle is started, the entire inductive ambient lighting circuit is powered on. In Embodiment 2, the human infrared sensing function of sensor 3 starts to work to detect whether there is someone sitting in the passenger seat. If someone is detected, sensor 3 will send signals to light strip 2, first ambient light 402, and second ambient light 8. These lights will automatically turn on to create an atmosphere inside the car. For example, when the owner starts the vehicle and there is a passenger in the passenger seat, light strip 2 will light up with soft light along both sides of the instrument panel body 1, first ambient light 402 will illuminate the inside of the first storage compartment 101, and second ambient light 8 will also turn on to add a warm atmosphere to the car.

[0053] When a cup needs to be placed in the first storage slot 101, the sensor 3 will control the brightness of the first ambient light 402 to increase when it detects an approach signal, so as to illuminate the inside of the storage slot more clearly. At this time, the support block 4, together with the elastic plate 501, will help to hold the cup. The support block 4 can move laterally in the sliding hole to adapt to cups of different sizes. The rubber ring 401 ensures that the first ambient light 402 is stably installed in the support block 4. At the same time, the transparent material of the support block 4 can diffuse the light of the first ambient light 402 and continuously provide lighting for the storage slot.

[0054] To control the power supply and de-energization of sensor 3, the operator presses the push switch 6. For example, when the ambient light does not need to be on continuously, pressing the push switch 6 will disconnect the circuit connection between sensor 3 and light strip 2, first ambient light 402, and second ambient light 8, and the ambient light will turn off. When operating knob 7, the operation can be performed according to the normal driving operation procedure.

[0055] When the second storage compartment 102 is needed, the item is placed inside the second storage compartment 102. At this time, the tilting structure of the sensor 3 can simultaneously sense the movement of the arm. When the sensor 3 detects the proximity signal, it will control the brightness of the second ambient light 8 to increase, illuminating the inside of the second storage compartment 102.

[0056] After the vehicle arrives at its destination and is turned off, the entire sensor-activated ambient lighting circuit is de-energized, and the light strip 2, the first ambient light 402, and the second ambient light 8 automatically turn off. If the sensor 3 was previously turned off by pressing the switch 6, the next time the vehicle is started, the switch 6 needs to be pressed again to energize the sensor 3 so as to realize the automatic sensor lighting function.
