Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instrument structure technology, specifically to an LED instrument integrated with a TFT instrument structure. Background Technology

[0002] The existing product structure consists of an independent PCBA circuit board, housing, and wiring, and all functional displays are achieved by lighting LED beads. For example... Figure 1 As shown: The existing light panel illuminates the corresponding LED beads by receiving the controller signal to achieve the function display effect. At present, the display function of the instrument is limited and can only realize a few simple functions (left turn, right turn, headlights, side marker lights, Bluetooth, speed display, battery display, mileage display, etc.).

[0003] Currently, existing instrument structures still have some technical problems, such as limited functionality: only supporting basic signal display and lacking interactivity (e.g., no touch or navigation functions); poor scalability: the hardware structure is rigid and cannot be adapted to new sensors (e.g., tire pressure monitoring); and insufficient user experience: static display cannot meet the needs of dynamic information (e.g., real-time navigation). Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an LED instrument integrated with a TFT instrument structure to solve some technical problems that still exist in the current instrument structure, such as limited functionality: only supporting basic signal display and lacking interactivity (such as no touch or navigation functions); poor expandability: the hardware structure is fixed and cannot be adapted to new sensors (such as tire pressure detection); and insufficient user experience: static display cannot meet the needs of dynamic information (such as real-time navigation).

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0006] An LED instrument integrated with a TFT instrument structure includes an instrument housing, a digital mid-plate on the front end of the instrument housing, static indicator markings on the surface of the digital mid-plate, a TFT screen slot in the middle of the digital mid-plate, and a TFT high-resolution dynamic screen installed in the middle of the TFT screen slot.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the static indicator includes several indicator signs of different colors disposed on the surface of the digital center plate. The several indicator signs of different colors are left turn signal, right turn signal, high beam, low beam, fog light, side marker light, and indicator lights for various parameters.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the TFT high-resolution dynamic screen is installed in the middle of the digital plate in an embedded manner, with the TFT high-resolution dynamic screen embedded in the middle position of the digital plate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a PCBA circuit board is provided inside the instrument housing, and the surface of the PCBA circuit board is provided with an LED static indicator area and a dynamic indicator area.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the surface of the LED static indicator area is provided with a plurality of static LED beads corresponding to the static indicator mark.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a TFT circuit board is provided on the surface of the dynamic indication area, and a plurality of dynamic LED beads are provided on the surface of the TFT circuit board. The TFT circuit board is located in the TFT screen slot.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the surface of the PCBA circuit board is coated with adhesive, and the TFT high-resolution dynamic screen is bonded to the TFT screen slot of the digital version using the adhesive.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the PCBA circuit board and the TFT circuit board adopt a split structure design, and a standardized communication interface is provided between the PCBA circuit board and the TFT circuit board.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] Reduce electronic waste: Modular design allows instrument components to be replaced or upgraded independently (such as replacing only the TFT screen instead of the entire device), significantly reducing the scrap rate of the whole machine due to partial failures, extending the product life cycle, and reducing the generation of electronic waste.

[0016] Efficient resource utilization: Standardized interfaces and modular structures simplify the production process and reduce material redundancy. For example, LED and TFT modules can be mass-produced separately, reducing energy consumption and raw material waste, which aligns with the concept of a circular economy.

[0017] Carbon reduction potential: through extending product lifecycles and improving production efficiency.

[0018] In addition, this utility model also has other technical effects:

[0019] 1. Achieve dual-screen collaborative display and interaction optimization

[0020] By integrating a high-resolution dynamic TFT screen with a static LED indicator area, a split-screen collaboration mechanism is constructed. This allows the TFT screen to handle complex interactive tasks (such as navigation and fault diagnosis), while the LED area is dedicated to high-priority status warnings (such as turn signals and battery warnings), balancing information richness and security.

[0021] 2. Promote modular design and multi-scenario adaptation

[0022] Through independent structural design (such as separate mounting slots for the TFT screen and LED circuit board, and standardized communication interfaces),

[0023] Modular hardware enables the same instrument platform to be quickly adapted to different vehicle models or functional requirements (such as motorcycles, electric vehicles, and industrial equipment), reducing R&D and production costs.

[0042] The core objective of this invention is to address the fundamental shortcomings of traditional instruments in terms of intelligence and functional expandability through technological innovation. Specific objectives include:

[0043] Achieve dual-screen collaborative display and interaction optimization

[0044] • By integrating a high-resolution dynamic TFT screen with a static LED indicator area, a split-screen collaboration mechanism is constructed. This allows the TFT screen to handle complex interactive tasks (such as navigation and fault diagnosis), while the LED area is dedicated to high-priority status warnings (such as turn signals and battery warnings), balancing information richness and security.

[0045] • It supports touch operation and voice command input, breaking through the limitations of traditional instruments' one-way information output and improving the user interaction experience.

[0046] Promoting modular design and multi-scenario adaptation

[0047] • Through independent structural design (such as separate mounting slots for the TFT screen and LED circuit board, and standardized communication interfaces),

[0048] Modular hardware enables the same instrument platform to be quickly adapted to different vehicle models or functional requirements (such as motorcycles, electric vehicles, and industrial equipment), reducing R&D and production costs.

[0049] • It has reserved an expansion interface for sensors, which is compatible with new functional modules such as tire pressure detection and ambient temperature and humidity, to meet the needs of future intelligent upgrades.

[0050] Improved reliability and automotive-grade performance

[0051] • Employ signal isolation technology (such as dual MCU time-sharing drive and independent power supply circuit) to avoid electromagnetic interference between the TFT and LED screens, ensuring the immediate response and stability of critical signals (such as brake warning).

[0052] • Through structural optimization (such as waterproof and dustproof sealing design and shock-resistant brackets), the instrument meets the IP67 protection rating and a wide operating temperature range of -40℃ to +85℃, which complies with automotive electronic reliability standards.

[0053] Empowering the intelligent ecosystem of products

[0054] • Supports Bluetooth wireless protocol, enabling functions such as mobile phone information projection and OTA remote upgrade, making the instrument panel an entry point for vehicle intelligent terminal.

[0055] • By opening up API interfaces, third-party developers can integrate customized applications (such as cycling trajectory recording and energy consumption analysis). This builds a closed-loop ecosystem for meter functionality.

[0056] By achieving the aforementioned technical objectives, this discovery aims to upgrade traditional instruments from single information display tools into intelligent and scalable in-vehicle interactive hubs, driving the industry's transformation from "functional rigidity" to "ecosystem development."

[0070] • Supporting SMEs: Open API interfaces and standardized designs lower the technical threshold, enabling SMEs to quickly access the ecosystem and develop differentiated functions (such as customized instruments for agricultural machinery) to revitalize the regional economy.

[0071] Building a healthy competitive ecosystem and stimulating industry innovation.

[0072] • Break down technological barriers: By opening up technical standards and modular interfaces, avoid monopolies by leading companies, encourage SMEs to participate in innovation, and form an industry pattern of "technology sharing and differentiated competition".

[0073] • Accelerate technological iteration: Market competition forces companies to continuously optimize their products (such as improving the response speed of TFT screens and reducing power consumption), driving the overall technological level of the industry towards automotive-grade and military-grade standards.

[0074] • Enhanced consumer sovereignty: Users can freely choose functional modules (such as navigation, entertainment, and health monitoring), which encourages manufacturers to shift from "feature stacking" to a "demand-driven" R&D model, truly realizing user-centric product design.

[0075] Empowering smart city construction and digital transformation

[0076] • Value of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) nodes: Supports Bluetooth / Wi-Fi and cloud data synchronization, making the instrument panel a terminal for interaction between the vehicle and the urban traffic management system, providing real-time data support for intelligent transportation (such as congestion warning and route optimization).
