[0034] According to a first aspect of this utility model, a vehicle central control screen is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 4As shown, the in-vehicle central control screen in this embodiment includes a screen body 11, a camera 2 detachably connected to the screen body 11, and a sealing cover 3. The camera 2 can monitor the situation inside the vehicle. The specific structure of each of the above-mentioned parts of the in-vehicle central control screen according to this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0035] In this embodiment, the screen body 11 is formed into a cuboid structure, with its top end formed at the first connecting portion 12. The sealing cover 3 and the camera 2 are both detachably connected to the first connecting portion 12. Specifically, as... Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first connecting portion 12 includes a connecting groove 121 and a first interface 122 located at the bottom of the connecting groove 121. The connecting groove 121 is formed into a cuboid structure, extending along the length direction of the connecting groove 121 (i.e., Figure 2 In the X direction, first protrusions are formed on the two inner walls of the connecting groove 121. Correspondingly, two first claws 21 are formed on the bottom of the camera 2, and the first claws 21 can engage with the first protrusions.

[0036] It should be noted that there are no restrictions on the specifications and specific structure of the first claw 21 and the first protrusion, as long as they facilitate the detachable connection between the camera 2 and the first connecting part 12. For example, in this embodiment, the first claw 21 is formed into a J-shaped structure, with an inclined surface 211 at its hook and a wedge-shaped groove 212 corresponding to the first protrusion at the inclined surface 211. The engagement between the first claw 21 and the first protrusion is essentially the engagement between the wedge-shaped groove 212 and the first protrusion. The inclined surface 211 and the wedge-shaped groove 212 facilitate the engagement and disengagement of the first claw 21 and ensure the stability of the engagement between the first claw 21 and the first protrusion. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first protrusion is formed as a wedge-shaped protrusion. Engagement is a conventional connection method in the mechanical field, so the principle of the engagement structure will not be elaborated further. In this way, the user can assemble or disassemble the camera 2 and the screen body 11 through a simple plugging and unplugging action.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the camera 2 is also provided with a second interface 22 that can be electrically connected to the first interface 122. The second interface 22 is located between the two first claws 21. When the first claws 21 are engaged with the first protrusion, the first interface 122 and the second interface 22 are electrically connected. The first interface 122 and the second interface 22 are existing connector structures. Thus, through components such as a data processor, the camera 2 can transmit the collected information (i.e., the content it captures) to the screen body 11 for storage or playback. The above-mentioned functions and components such as the data processor are all existing technologies and have been widely used in information transmission and storage in various industries. Therefore, their principles will not be elaborated further.

[0038] It should be noted that the main body of the camera 2 (including its internal structure) can be made using existing technology. The first claw 21 mentioned above can be fixed to the bottom of the housing of the camera 2 by welding or other means. The second interface 22 is an extension of the housing after being electrically connected to the corresponding internal components of the camera 2. It also belongs to existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] When the camera 2 is removed from the screen body 11 for upgrades or maintenance, a sealing cover 3 is provided at the first connection part 12 to prevent dust and other impurities from falling into the first connection part 12 and affecting the performance of the first interface 122. Figure 4 As shown, the sealing cover 3 has a trapezoidal cross-section (i.e., the sealing cover 3 has two inclined sides), which facilitates the user's assembly or disassembly of the sealing cover 3. In addition, the bottom end face of the sealing cover 3 should correspond to and fit the opening of the connecting groove 121, so that the sealing cover 3 can completely seal the opening of the first connecting part 12. The sealing cover 3 is also detachably connected to the first connecting part 12 by snap-fit, and its bottom end face has a second claw 31 corresponding to the first protrusion. The specifications and structure of the second claw 31 can be set to be the same as the first claw 21 mentioned above.

[0040] When the second claw 31 engages with the first protrusion, the sealing cover 3 and the opening of the connecting groove 121 are matched accordingly. In order to further ensure the performance of the first interface 122, after the sealing cover 3 engages with the first connecting part 12, there should be a gap between its bottom end face and the top end of the first interface 122. The setting position of the first protrusion should ensure this technical effect.

[0041] Furthermore, although not shown in the figure, the side of the screen body 11 in this embodiment is also provided with a snap-fit ​​groove. The inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove has a second protrusion corresponding to the second claw 31. The structural specifications of the snap-fit ​​groove can be consistent with those of the connecting groove 121, and the second protrusion can be consistent with the first protrusion. That is, when the second claw 31 snaps into the second protrusion, the sealing cover 3 is matched with the opening of the snap-fit ​​groove. When the camera 2 is connected to the first connecting part 12, the sealing cover 3 can be placed at the snap-fit ​​groove to prevent the sealing cover 3 from being lost.

[0042] It should be noted that the positions of the first connecting part 12 and the card slot are not fixed. For example, they can be located on the left or right side of the screen body 11, as long as the stability of the connection between the camera 2 and the sealing cover 3 and the shooting quality of the camera 2 can be guaranteed.

[0043] According to the in-vehicle central control screen of this utility model, the camera 2 is detachably installed on the screen body 11 of the central control screen. This arrangement does not affect the aesthetics of the vehicle interior and allows the camera 2 to be placed in the optimal position to obtain the largest monitoring field of view inside the vehicle. In addition, since the camera 2 is detachably connected to the screen body 11, when the camera 2 needs to be upgraded or maintained, it can be removed from the screen body 11, and the sealing cover 3 is set on the first connecting part 12 to prevent dust and other impurities from entering and affecting the use of the camera 2. When the camera 2 is connected to the screen body 11 through the first connecting part 12, the sealing cover 3 can be set at the snap-fit ​​groove to prevent the sealing cover 3 from being lost.

[0044] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including the in-vehicle central control screen as described above.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features, within the technical scope disclosed in this application.
