With the increasing prevalence of electric vehicles in transportation, the requirements for the reliability, ease of use, and functionality of instrument panels are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] Currently, most electric vehicle dashboard panels on the market suffer from limitations in structural design and functional implementation. Structurally, traditional dashboard panels are embedded inside the vehicle body, making inspection difficult and hindering clear observation and operation by maintenance personnel, thus affecting maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, functionally, their anti-fogging and decontamination methods are limited, relying solely on physical moisture absorption or simple wiping, which cannot quickly and effectively address water mist caused by temperature differences or everyday dirt, obstructing the driver's vision and posing a safety hazard. To address this technical problem, this application proposes an electric vehicle dashboard panel with an anti-fogging device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an electric vehicle instrument panel with an anti-fog device. In this invention, the embedded sealing structure effectively prevents dust and water damage, extending service life; the double-bar linkage mechanism facilitates instrument panel inspection and replacement. Simultaneously, the dual anti-fog system, combining physical moisture absorption and mechanical cleaning, removes water mist and stains, ensuring a clear and transparent panel.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An electric vehicle instrument panel with an anti-fog device includes a glass panel and a frame. The glass panel is fixedly connected to the inside of the frame. A connecting plate is rotatably connected to the lower side of the glass panel. A base is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting plate. A lifting component is provided inside the base. A protrusion is provided inside the base. An instrument panel is provided on the upper side of the protrusion. A pointer is rotatably connected to the upper side of the instrument panel. A groove is provided on the upper side of the frame. A fixing block is slidably connected in the groove. A button is provided on the upper side of the frame. A rotating component is provided below the button. A desiccant is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inside of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a second gear fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting plate, a first rack column meshing with the lower side of the second gear, a first gear meshing with the right side of the first rack column, and the first rack column slidably connected inside the base.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a rack post two fixedly connected to the lower side of the button, a gear three meshing with the front side of the rack post two, an auxiliary block fixedly connected to the left side of the gear three, a rotating sleeve rotatably connected to the left side of the auxiliary block, and a bidirectional lead screw rotatably connected to the left side of the rotating sleeve.

[0009] Furthermore, a support rod is fixedly connected to the right side of the gear, the support rod is rotatably connected to the left side of the instrument panel, and the gear is rotatably connected to the inside left side of the base.

[0010] Furthermore, a second support rod is rotatably connected to the left side of the base, and an instrument panel is rotatably connected to the right side of the second support rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the rack column two, and a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the rack column two.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting block is threaded onto the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw, and a cleaning roller is rotatably connected to the rear side of the connecting block.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating sleeve has a groove inside, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the front side of the auxiliary block.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, an embedded sealing structure is used to fix the glass plate and the frame, which can effectively block rainwater and dust, ensure the cleanliness of the instrument panel interior, and extend its service life. Through a double-bar linkage mechanism composed of a connecting plate, gears, rack and pinion, and support rod, the internal instrument panel can be smoothly rotated out when the frame is flipped backward, and the instrument panel always remains facing upward. This avoids the inconvenience caused by the easy tilting of traditional flip-type instruments and provides maintenance personnel with a direct and stable inspection perspective, greatly facilitating the inspection and replacement of the instrument panel.

[0016] 2. This utility model integrates a dual anti-fog system combining physical moisture absorption and mechanical cleaning, which can quickly eliminate water mist caused by temperature differences. After pressing the button, components such as the rack and pinion column, gears, auxiliary blocks, rotating sleeve, and bidirectional lead screw work together to make the cleaning roller reciprocate linearly inside the glass plate, achieving automatic cleaning and timely removal of water mist and stains. Furthermore, the limiting plate on the rack and pinion column, in conjunction with a spring, allows the button to automatically reset, enabling the cleaning action to be repeated cyclically. This ensures the glass plate remains clear and transparent for a long time, preventing blurred vision from affecting driving safety and creating good observation conditions for electric vehicle drivers.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of an electric vehicle instrument panel with an anti-fog device, comprising a glass plate 1 and a frame 4. The glass plate 1 is fixedly connected to the inside of the frame 4. A connecting plate 9 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the glass plate 1, and a base 5 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 9. A gear 2 10 is provided inside the base 5. A rack column 11 is meshed with the lower side of the gear 2 10, and a gear 6 is meshed with the right side of the rack column 11. The rack column 11 is slidably connected inside the base 5. A protrusion is provided inside the base 5, and an instrument panel 12 is provided on the upper side of the protrusion. A pointer 7 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the instrument panel 12. A groove is provided on the upper side of the frame 4, and a fixing block 2 is slidably connected in the groove. A button 3 is provided on the upper side of the frame 4, and a rack column 2 18 is provided below the button 3. A gear 3 19 is meshed with the front side of the rack column 2 18. An auxiliary block 20 is fixedly connected to the left side of the gear 3 19. A rotating sleeve 21 is rotatably connected to the left side of the auxiliary block 20, and a bidirectional lead screw 23 is rotatably connected to the left side of the rotating sleeve 21. A desiccant 8 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inside of the base 5.

[0026] Specifically, the glass plate 1 and frame 4 adopt an embedded fixing structure, and the joint surface is sealed to effectively prevent rainwater and dust from entering. Frame 4 is connected to base 5 through connecting plate 9 to form a rotating joint. When frame 4 flips backward, connecting plate 9 drives gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives rack column 11, which meshes with it, to slide forward. Rack column 11 simultaneously meshes with gear 6, causing gear 6 to rotate around the rotation fulcrum on the left side of base 5. Support rod 13, which is fixedly connected to the right side of gear 6, rotates with the gear, and its other end is rotatably connected to the left side of instrument panel 12. At the same time, support rod 14 on the left side inside base 5 is connected to instrument panel 12 through the right rotating joint. This double-bar linkage mechanism ensures that instrument panel 12 always faces upward during the flipping process of frame 4, effectively avoiding the inconvenience of reading caused by instrument tilt in traditional flipping structures. Fixing block 2, which is slidably connected in the groove on the upper side of frame 4, can lock the panel position and prevent vibration from loosening it. When button 3 is pressed down, the rack column 18 on the lower side drives the auxiliary block 20 to rotate via the front gear 19. The locking block 24 on the front side of the auxiliary block 20 and the internal groove of the rotating sleeve 21 form a one-way clutch mechanism: when the locking block 24 turns to the narrower side of the groove, it drives the rotating sleeve 21 and the bidirectional lead screw 23 to rotate synchronously; when it turns to the wider side, it slips and spins freely. The connecting block 22 on the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 23 makes a reciprocating linear motion with the rotation of the lead screw, and the cleaning roller 15 connected to its rear side moves synchronously, realizing automatic cleaning of the inner side of the glass plate 1. The limiting plate 16 on the upper side of the rack column 18 cooperates with the sleeved spring 17 to ensure the reset function after the button 3 is operated, forming a cyclic cleaning action. The anti-fog system integrates the dual functions of physical moisture absorption and mechanical cleaning. In conjunction with the above cleaning mechanism, it can quickly remove water mist caused by temperature difference, ensuring that the glass plate 1 remains clear and transparent for a long time.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A support rod 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of gear 6. Support rod 13 is rotatably connected to the left side of instrument panel 12. Gear 6 is rotatably connected to the left side inside base 5. Support rod 24 is rotatably connected to the left side inside base 5. Instrument panel 12 is rotatably connected to the right side of support rod 24. Limit plate 16 is fixedly connected to the upper side of rack column 28. Spring 17 is sleeved on the outer wall of rack column 28. Connecting block 22 is threaded to the outer wall of double-acting screw 23. Cleaning roller 15 is rotatably connected to the rear side of connecting block 22. Groove is opened inside rotating sleeve 21. Locking block 24 is fixedly connected to the front side of auxiliary block 20.

[0028] Specifically, the glass panel 1 and frame 4 adopt an embedded fixing structure, and the joint surface is sealed to effectively prevent rainwater and dust from entering, extending the service life of internal electronic components. The frame 4 and base 5 are connected by a rotating joint design formed by the connecting plate 9, allowing the panel to be flipped backward. The beneficial effect of this structural innovation is that when the instrument panel 12 needs to be inspected or replaced, the operator can flip the panel with one hand to expose the maintenance area, saving maintenance time compared to traditional fixed panels. The gear and rack transmission system inside the base 5 is precisely designed, and the module matching between gear 2 10 and rack column 11 ensures smooth transmission, while also achieving stability during the flipping process of the instrument panel 12, ensuring the legibility of instrument readings during operation. The sliding locking mechanism formed by the groove on the upper side of the frame 4 and the fixing block 2 can withstand lateral impact without loosening, effectively preventing the panel from loosening due to vibration during vehicle operation. The innovation of the anti-fog system lies in the integration of physical moisture absorption and mechanical cleaning functions. The desiccant 8 uses high-efficiency molecular sieve material and is combined with the cleaning mechanism driven by the button 3. Through the one-way transmission system composed of gear 3 19 and auxiliary block 20, the cleaning roller 15 can make reciprocating linear motion under the drive of the bidirectional lead screw 23. It can quickly remove water mist caused by temperature difference, ensure that the glass plate 1 remains clear and transparent for a long time, and improve the safety of reading during driving.

[0029] Working principle: The frame 4 has a slot on the rear side. Rotating the frame 4 backward will cause the connecting plate 9 to rotate. Because the connecting plate 9 is meshed with the rack column 11 on the lower side, the gear 10 fixed on the lower side of the connecting plate 9 will rotate and push the rack column 11 to slide forward. At the same time as the rack column 11 slides, the gear 6 will rotate backward, thereby rotating the support rod 13 upward, which will drive the instrument panel 12 to move upward. The frame 4 can rotate 180°, so the instrument panel 12 can also rotate 180°. As a result, the frame 4 will flip backward, and the instrument panel 12 will rotate backward, always keeping the instrument panel face upward. The connection method of the support rod 14 is rotation, which can ensure the stability of the device during the movement of 12 and will not interfere with the movement of the instrument panel 12. This allows the instrument panel 12 to be displayed for easy replacement and inspection. Similarly, placing the instrument panel 12 into the base 5 can close the device. The sliding fixing block 2 can fix the connection of the device to prevent shaking. Pressing button 3 will cause the rack column 2 18 below to move downwards, driving gear 3 19 to rotate. The rotation of gear 3 19 will cause the auxiliary block 20 to rotate. The auxiliary block 20 and the rotating sleeve 21 are nested. When the auxiliary block 20 rotates towards the shorter side of the locking block 24, it will be locked in the limiting groove inside the rotating sleeve 21, thereby driving the rotating sleeve 21 and the bidirectional lead screw 23 on the left to rotate. When the auxiliary block 20 rotates towards the thicker side of the locking block 24, it will not be constrained by the limiting groove. Therefore, the auxiliary block 20 rotates, but the rotating sleeve 21 does not rotate. Furthermore, the spring 17 allows button 3 to rise after it has fallen, enabling multiple uses. The combined effect of these features is that the bidirectional lead screw 23 can rotate continuously in one direction. Due to the nature of the bidirectional lead screw 23, the cleaning roller 15 can be moved back and forth continuously to achieve the effect of cleaning the internal water mist.

[0030] 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.
