[0002] In related technologies, the secondary instrument cluster is an integral structure. In scenarios where the seat needs to rotate, the secondary instrument cluster will interfere with the seat rotation, affecting the seat rotation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a secondary instrument cluster, a seat rotation system, and a vehicle to solve the problems in the aforementioned related technologies.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, one aspect of this disclosure provides a sub-instrument assembly, comprising:
[0005] Fasteners;
[0006] A cutout area, wherein the cutout area is configured to avoid the seat in a scenario where the seat rotates;
[0007] A movable component, movably connected to the floor of the vehicle, capable of moving to or out of the cutout area;
[0008] The fastener includes a body and a first connecting part, the first connecting part being disposed at the rear end of the body and used to connect to the floor of the vehicle.
[0009] The aforementioned technical solution, through the designed hollow area, can avoid interference with the seat when it needs to rotate, ensuring the seat rotates to the desired angle and meeting the needs of different scenarios. It is understandable that when the seat does not need to rotate, the moving part can be located within the hollow area, utilizing the space and avoiding waste. When the seat needs to rotate, the moving part can be outside the hollow area, ensuring no structural interference with seat rotation. The rear end of the fixing component has a first connecting part that connects to the vehicle floor. This first connecting part supports the rear end of the component, ensuring its stability and improving the overall structural strength of the fixing component, preventing insufficient support due to the hollow area.

[0029] In some possible implementations, the sub-instrument assembly further includes a limiting mechanism and an unlocking mechanism;
[0030] The limiting mechanism includes a locking part and a cooperating part. The locking part and the cooperating part can be locked together to restrict the sliding of the housing. The locking part is connected to the housing, and the cooperating part is connected to the sliding mechanism.
[0031] The unlocking mechanism is connected to the locking part and / or the mating part, and the unlocking mechanism can decouple the locking part and the mating part so that the housing can slide.

[0069] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.
[0070] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up," "down," "front," "rear," "left," and "right" are generally defined according to the vehicle's operating state. "Front" refers to the front of the vehicle, and "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer parts of the relevant components. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are used only for distinguishing descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0071] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.
[0072] With the development of vehicles, there is an increasing demand for vehicles to be used in various scenarios. For example, in order to meet the needs of two rows of seats facing each other, when the vehicle is stopped, the front seats can be rotated to face the rear seats, which can be used for gatherings of many people.
[0073] In related technologies, the secondary instrument cluster is an integral structure. In scenarios where the seat does not need to rotate, there will be no interference problem. However, in scenarios where the seat needs to rotate, the secondary instrument cluster will interfere with the seat rotation, affecting the seat rotation and making it impossible to meet the needs of scenarios where two rows of seats face each other.
[0074] Therefore, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, one aspect of this disclosure provides a secondary instrument assembly, including a fixing member 1, a hollow area 3, and a moving member 2.
[0075] The cutout area 3 is designed to avoid the seat in scenarios where the seat is rotating.
[0076] The movable part 2 is movably connected to the floor of the vehicle, and the movable part 2 can move to or out of the hollow area 3.
[0077] The fastener 1 includes a body 11 and a first connecting part 12. The first connecting part 12 is located at the rear end of the body 11 and is used to connect with the floor of the vehicle.
[0078] The auxiliary instrument assembly is provided with a first state and a second state. In the first state, the moving part 2 is located inside the hollow area 3, and in the second state, the moving part 2 is located outside the hollow area 3.
[0079] In the above technical solution, the hollow area 3 allows the mechanism to avoid interference when the seat needs to rotate, ensuring the seat rotates to the desired angle and meeting the needs of different scenarios. It is understood that when the seat does not need to rotate, the moving part 2 can be located within the hollow area 3, utilizing the space and avoiding waste. When the seat needs to rotate, the moving part 2 can be removed from the hollow area 3, ensuring no structural interference with seat rotation. The rear end of the main body 11 of the fixing part 1 is provided with a first connecting part 12, which connects to the vehicle floor. The first connecting part 12 supports the rear end of the main body 11, ensuring its stability and improving the overall structural strength of the fixing part 1, thus preventing insufficient support due to the hollow area 3.
[0080] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the fastener 1 further includes a second connecting portion 13, which is disposed at the front end of the body 11 and is used to connect with the center console of the vehicle. The hollow area 3 is located below the body 11 and the second connecting portion 13.
[0081] The second connecting part 13 is connected to the center console of the vehicle. Thus, the front end of the main body 11 is connected to the center console through the second connecting part 13, and the rear end of the main body 11 is connected to the floor of the vehicle through the first connecting part 12. This can improve the support and structural strength of the entire main body 11, thereby improving the support of the entire fixing part 1. It can support seat rotation while ensuring the continuity and integrity of the center console and the sub-instrument assembly.
[0082] The hollow area 3 is located below the main body 11 and the second connecting part 13, which increases the size of the hollow area 3, thus facilitating the rotation of the seat and avoiding interference. In addition, the hollow area 3 is set in this way so that the seat can rotate in a forward position without interference, thereby improving the rotation efficiency of the seat and eliminating the need to move the seat back first and then rotate.
[0083] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the main body 11 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the second connecting part 13 is located at the front end of the main body 11 and is integrally formed with the main body 11, the main body 11 and the second connecting part 13 are both located above the floor of the vehicle, and the area between the main body 11, the second connecting part 13 and the floor of the vehicle is set as a hollow area 3.
[0084] The main body 11 and the second connecting part 13 are both suspended above the floor, so the area below the main body 11 and the second connecting part 13 to the surface of the floor is set as a hollow area 3, which can more effectively avoid interference with the rotation of the seat. In addition, the integral molding of the second connecting part 13 and the main body 11 can facilitate the production and manufacturing process.
[0085] In some examples, the main body 11 is configured as a long strip-shaped structure, and the second connecting part 13 can extend along the height and width directions of the vehicle at the front end of the main body 11, thereby enabling the second connecting part 13 to connect with the center console surface-to-surface, improving the connection strength between the second connecting part 13 and the center console. The second connecting part 13 can be a strip-shaped structure.
[0086] In some other examples, the second connecting part 13 may be bolted to the end of the front end of the body 11.
[0087] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the main body 11 is located above the floor of the vehicle, the top of the first connecting part 12 is connected to the rear end of the main body 11, the bottom of the first connecting part 12 is connected to the floor of the vehicle, and the hollow area 3 is located in front of the first connecting part 12.
[0088] The main body 11 is suspended above the floor, and the first connecting part 12 connects the main body 11 and the floor, providing support and improving the support of the rear end of the main body 11. The first connecting part 12 is located at the rear end of the main body 11, so that the hollow area 3 is in front of the first connecting part 12, preventing the rear end of the main body 11 from being cantilevered, ensuring the support of the rear end of the main body 11 and preventing damage due to insufficient support.
[0089] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the first connecting part 12 is configured as a bracket 121, which extends along the height direction of the vehicle, and the body 11 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The top of the bracket 121 and the bottom of the rear end of the body 11 are integrally formed.
[0090] The bracket 121 provides support, occupying little space while offering strong support, thus reducing space usage while ensuring adequate support. Furthermore, the bracket 121 is integrally formed with the rear bottom of the main body 11, facilitating manufacturing and improving the overall integrity of the fastener 1. In some examples, the bracket 121 is designed as a plate-like structure.
[0091] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, there are two brackets 121. The two brackets 121 are arranged at intervals relative to each other in the width direction of the vehicle and are separated by a moving channel 14. The moving channel 14 is connected to the hollow area 3. The moving part 2 can move to the hollow area 3 or move out of the hollow area 3 through the moving channel 14.
[0092] The two supports 121 are spaced apart, meaning they are located near the rear ends of the main body 11 on either side. This improves the support balance on both sides of the rear end of the main body 11, ensuring overall support for the rear end. A moving channel 14 is formed between the two supports 121, enclosed by the main body 11, the two supports 121, and the floor. The movable component 2 can move within this channel, allowing it to move into or out of the openwork area 3, thus meeting the positional requirements of the movable component 2 in different usage scenarios. The moving channel 14 ensures that the movement of the movable component 2 into or out of the openwork area 3 is not affected, while maintaining the support performance of the rear end of the main body 11.
[0093] Alternatively, in another embodiment of this disclosure, the first connecting part 12 is a base, which is located below the rear end of the body 11. The base can be a block structure, and the movable part 2 can be directly taken out or put into the hollow area 3.
[0094] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the main body 11 is provided with at least one storage section 15 for placing items. The storage section 15 allows for the placement of various items, such as water cups. In some examples, there may be multiple storage sections 15, which may include cup holders, placement slots, storage cavities, etc. The placement slots can hold items such as mobile phones. The cup holders and placement slots are located at the front of the main body 11 for better ease of operation. An elbow rest armrest may be provided at the rear end of the main body 11.
[0095] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the movable component 2 and the fixed component 1 are separate. The movable component 2 includes a housing 21, and the auxiliary instrument assembly also includes a sliding mechanism 4. The sliding mechanism 4 is used to connect to the floor of the vehicle. The housing 21 is connected to the sliding mechanism 4 so that the housing 21 can slide into or out of the hollow area 3.
[0096] The movable component 2 and the fixed component 1 are separate, allowing the movable component 2 to move relative to the fixed component 1, thus moving into or out of the hollow area 3. A sliding mechanism 4 allows the movable component 2 to slide back and forth, sliding into or out of the hollow area 3, making operation convenient and movement rapid. The movable component 2 can be a box 21, which can perform various functions, such as storage, placement of items, or other functional arrangements, meeting diverse needs.
[0097] In some examples, the movable component 2 and the fixed component 1 may not be connected. When the movable component 2 is in the cutout area 3, it is not connected to the fixed component 1. When the movable component 2 slides out of the cutout area 3, the movable component 2 and the fixed component 1 are in two different positions. In other examples, the movable component 2 and the fixed component 1 may have a detachable connection. That is, when the movable component 2 is in the cutout area 3, it can contact the fixed component 1. When the movable component 2 slides out of the cutout area 3, it separates from the fixed component 1.
[0098] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the sliding mechanism 4 includes a slide rail 41 and a sliding part 42, the sliding part 42 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 41, the sliding part 42 is connected to the bottom of the housing 21, the slide rail 41 is used to connect to the floor of the vehicle, and the slide rail 41 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
[0099] The slide rail 41 provides guidance, and the sliding part 42 can slide relative to the slide rail 41. The housing 21 can slide in a preset direction under the combined action of the sliding part 42 and the slide rail 41, thus sliding into or out of the hollow area 3. The slide rail 41 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, providing guidance in that direction, allowing the housing 21 to slide back and forth. It can be understood that when the housing 21 slides forward, it can slide into the hollow area 3, and when it slides backward, it can slide out of the hollow area 3.
[0100] The sliding part 42 is located at the bottom of the box 21, and the slide rail 41 is on the floor. Thus, the box 21 is above the sliding mechanism 4. One end of the slide rail 41 extends to the hollow area 3 through the moving channel 14, and the other end of the slide rail 41 is set outside the hollow area 3, so that the box 21 can slide into or out of the hollow area 3 under the guidance of the slide rail 41.
[0101] Alternatively, in another embodiment of this disclosure, the sliding mechanism 4 includes a groove and a roller. The groove is disposed on the floor of the vehicle, and the roller is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box 21. The roller is rotatably disposed in the groove, and the box 21 can slide relative to the floor by the roller rolling in the groove.
[0102] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the housing 21 is provided with a pulling part 22, which is used for a person to pull the housing 21 to make the housing 21 slide. By providing the pulling part 22, the housing 21 can be moved, thereby creating a hollow area 3, allowing the hollow area 3 to avoid the rotating seat. It is understood that the occupant can manually operate the pulling part 22 to move the housing 21, allowing it to slide into or out of the hollow area 3.
[0103] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the lower instrument panel assembly further includes a driving mechanism, which is connected to the box body 21 and / or the sliding mechanism 4, and is used to drive the box body 21 to slide. By providing the driving mechanism, the driving mechanism can drive the box body 21 to move, without the need for manual pulling, which is more convenient to use and has a more premium feeling. The driving mechanism can drive the box body 21 to move, slide into the hollow area 3 or slide out of the hollow area 3.
[0104] Among them, the driving mechanism can be connected to the box body 21, and the box body 21 is directly driven by the driving mechanism to slide. In some examples, the driving mechanism may include a motor and a transmission member, and the transmission member is connected to the output end of the motor and the box body 21, so that the box body 21 moves along the extension direction of the sliding mechanism 4. Optionally, the driving mechanism can also be connected to the vehicle control system, which can achieve active control and can be associated with the seat rotation function to realize the linkage of the two, making it more convenient to use and having a more premium feeling.
[0105] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the lower instrument panel assembly further includes a limiting mechanism 5 and an unlocking mechanism 6.
[0106] The limiting mechanism 5 includes a locking part 51 and a cooperating part 52. The locking part 51 and the cooperating part 52 can be locked to limit the sliding of the box body 21. The locking part 51 is connected to the box body 21, and the cooperating part 52 is connected to the sliding mechanism 4.
[0107] The unlocking mechanism 6 is connected to the locking part 51 and / or the cooperating part 52, and the unlocking mechanism 6 can decouple the locking part 51 and the cooperating part 52, so that the box body 21 can slide.
[0108] Among them, the locking part 51 and the cooperating part 52 can be connected to each other. After the locking part 51 and the cooperating part 52 are connected, the box body 21 can be locked, so that the box body 21 can be fixed in the required position and the box body 21 will not move randomly, avoiding affecting the use. And by providing the unlocking mechanism 6, the locking part 51 and the cooperating part 52 can be decoupled, that is to say, the locking part 51 and the cooperating part 52 are separated, and at this time, unlocking is achieved. The box body 21 is no longer locked and the box body 21 can slide as needed, and the position of the box body 21 can be adjusted to meet different requirements.
[0109] Among them, in some examples, the unlocking mechanism 6 can be connected to the locking part 51, and the unlocking mechanism 6 drives the locking part 51 to move to decouple from the cooperating part 52. In other examples, the unlocking mechanism 6 can be connected to the cooperating part 52, and the unlocking mechanism 6 drives the cooperating part 52 to move to decouple from the locking part 51. In other examples, the unlocking mechanism 6 can be connected to the locking part 51 and the cooperating part 52, and the unlocking mechanism 6 drives the locking part 51 and the cooperating part 52 to move to decouple the locking part 51 and the cooperating part 52.
[0110] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the number of locking parts 51 is at least one, and the number of mating parts 52 is set to multiple, with the multiple mating parts 52 spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, so that the housing 21 can be locked at different positions.
[0111] The multiple mating parts 52 can each engage with the locking part 51, thereby locking the housing 21 when the locking part 51 is connected to different mating parts 52. It is understood that when the housing 21 moves, the locking part 51 moves accordingly; when the housing 21 stops moving, the locking part 51 stops moving as well, and at this point, the locking part 51 connects with the corresponding nearest mating part 52 to lock the housing 21. In some examples, there is one locking part 51; in other examples, there can be multiple locking parts 51 spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. When the housing 21 needs to be locked, multiple locking parts 51 can be connected to multiple mating parts 52 respectively, achieving multi-point locking and thus improving the locking effect on the housing 21 and preventing movement of the housing 21.
[0112] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, one of the locking part 51 and the mating part 52 is configured as a locking pin, and the other is configured as a locking groove or lock hole, wherein the locking pin can be inserted into the locking groove or lock hole. The engagement of the locking pin with the locking groove or lock hole facilitates locking and unlocking, simplifying operation. In some examples, the locking part 51 is a locking pin, and the mating part 52 is a locking groove or lock hole. It is understood that the locking pin can move back and forth, and can be inserted into or disengaged from the locking groove or lock hole.
[0113] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the unlocking mechanism 6 includes a cable 61 connected to the locking part 51 and / or the mating part 52. The cable 61 is used to decouple the locking part 51 and the mating part 52. By moving the locking part 51 and / or the mating part 52 through the cable 61, the locking part 51 and the mating part 52 can be decoupled, thereby unlocking the device and allowing the housing 21 to move. In some examples, the cable 61 can be connected to the locking part 51; in other examples, the cable 61 can be connected to the mating part 52; of course, the cable 61 can also be connected to both the locking part 51 and the mating part 52.
[0114] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the housing 21 and / or the sliding mechanism 4 are provided with a positioning part, which is connected to the pull cable 61. The positioning part can position the pull cable 61, preventing it from extending arbitrarily and ensuring that the pull cable 61 produces a pulling effect.
