Abstract
This utility model discloses a standardized expansion interface suitable for the sub-panel of an instrument panel, belonging to the field of instrument panel technology. It comprises a first spring, a housing, a switching mechanism, a locking mechanism, a second spring, a first shaft, a pawl, a third spring, a second shaft, and a door. The first spring is arranged inside the rear side of the housing, with one end fixedly connected to the housing and the other end fixedly connected to the switching mechanism. The extension and retraction of the first spring can drive the movement of the switching mechanism. The switching mechanism and the locking mechanism are linked and cooperate. The second spring, the first shaft, and the pawl are linked and cooperate. The first shaft is fixedly connected to the switching mechanism. The third spring, the second shaft, and the door are linked and cooperate. Through this utility model, users can freely combine functional modules according to actual needs, configuring the required modules in different positions, which not only improves the utilization rate of the vehicle interior space but also creates a convenient and comfortable driving experience.
