Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Referring to Figures 1-3, one embodiment of this utility model provides an electric vehicle instrument panel housing, including a transparent instrument panel housing 1, a fixing frame 2, and an instrument panel main board 3. An adjustment mechanism 6 and an auxiliary mechanism 7 are provided on the transparent instrument panel housing 1. The adjustment mechanism 6 includes a control data line 60, which is fixedly connected to the rear inner wall of the instrument panel main board 3. A bidirectional motor 61 is fixedly connected to the left inner wall of the fixing frame 2. The output end of the bidirectional motor 61 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 62 via a coupling. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the outer side wall of the threaded rod 62. The threaded sleeve allows a sliding plate 63 to move accordingly. The sliding plate 63 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the threaded sleeve. An L-shaped groove 64 is formed on the top inner wall of the sliding plate 63. The L-shaped groove 64 limits the brush holder 65 to prevent it from shifting during cleaning. The brush holder 65 is engaged with the top inner wall of the L-shaped groove 64, and the cleaning brushes on the brush holder 65 directly act on the transparent instrument panel housing 1. The surface effectively removes dust and stains. An adjustment plate 67 is slidably connected to the top inner wall of the sliding plate 63. A handle 66 is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the adjustment plate 67. An insert plate 68 is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the adjustment plate 67. A compression spring 69 is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the adjustment plate 67. The compression spring 69 keeps the insert plate 68 in the locked position when not in operation, preventing the brush holder 65 from accidentally falling off.
[0025] Referring to Figures 2-4, the sliding plate 63 is slidably connected to the top inner wall of the fixed frame 2, the brush holder 65 is in contact with the front outer wall of the instrument transparent housing 1, a frosted pad is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the handle 66, the insert plate 68 passes through the left inner wall of the brush holder 65, the end of the compression spring 69 away from the adjusting plate 67 is fixedly connected to the left inner wall of the sliding plate 63, the control data line 60 passes through the front inner wall of the instrument main board 3, and the front end of the control data line 60 is fixedly connected to the rear inner wall of the bidirectional motor 61. The bidirectional motor 61 drives the threaded rod 62 to adjust the speed and start / stop. The fixed frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom outer walls of the instrument transparent housing 1, the instrument main board 3 is snapped into the rear outer wall of the instrument transparent housing 1, and a data display screen 4 is fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the instrument main board 3.
[0026] Referring to Figures 3-4, the auxiliary mechanism 7 includes a bayonet 71, which is located on the inner front wall of the fixing frame 2. The bayonet 71 is a locking plate 72. A sliding rail is provided to ensure smooth disassembly. A locking plate 72 is slidably connected to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the bayonet 71. A front abutment plate 73 is fixedly connected to the outer front wall of the locking plate 72. A movable plate 74 is slidably connected to the inner left side of the locking plate 72. A rear abutment plate 75 is fixedly connected to the outer rear wall of the movable plate 74. A telescopic spring 77 is fixedly connected to the outer right side of the movable plate 74. The bayonet 71 penetrates the inner front wall of the instrument main board 3. The front abutment plate 73 contacts the outer front wall of the fixing bracket 2, and the rear abutment plate 75 contacts the outer rear wall of the instrument main board 3. An arc-shaped surface 76 is provided on the outer rear wall of the rear abutment plate 75, and the arc-shaped surface 76 contacts the inner front wall of the bayonet 71. There are two movable plates 74. The two ends of the telescopic spring 77 are fixedly connected to the outer side walls of the two movable plates 74 respectively. The telescopic spring 77 keeps the movable plates 74 in a stable position when not in operation, ensuring the reliability of the structure.
[0027] Working principle: By pressing the control button on the electric vehicle, the signal is transmitted to the bidirectional motor 61 via the control data line 60. The bidirectional motor 61 turns on, driving the threaded rod 62 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 62 drives the threaded sleeve to move, which in turn drives the sliding plate 63 to move. The sliding plate 63 then drives the brush holder 65 to move left and right, allowing the brush holder 65 to wipe and clean the surface of the instrument transparent housing 1. During long-term use, pulling the handle 66 moves the adjusting plate 67, which in turn moves the insert plate 68. The insert plate 68 then separates from the brush holder 65, allowing the brush holder 65 to be lifted and separated from the L-shaped groove 64, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. When the instrument transparent housing 1 shows signs of wear and aging, pulling the movable plate 74 moves the rear abutment plate 75, separating it from the rear outer wall of the instrument main board 3. Pulling the movable plate 74 then pulls out the locking plate 72 from the locking slot 71, allowing for easy separation of the instrument transparent housing 1 from the instrument main board 3 for timely replacement.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
