[0027] The following are specific implementation cases and appendices. Figure 1-8 The present invention will be further described below, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0028] An electric locomotive operating control console includes a console body 1. The top of the console body 1 is characterized by having a freight control button area 2, a driving control button area 3, and an auxiliary function button area 4 floatingly disposed thereon. The interior of the console body 1 is provided with button area lifting components for independently controlling the freight control button area 2, driving control button area 3, and auxiliary function button area 4, which are hidden within the internal cavity of the console body 1. Hidden slots corresponding to the freight control button area 2, driving control button area 3, and auxiliary function button area 4 are formed on the top of the console body 1, allowing the freight control button area 2, driving control button area 3, and auxiliary function button area 4 to slide up and down within the hidden slots.

[0029] The main body of the control console 1 is equipped with lifting drive components corresponding to the freight button area 2, the driving button area 3, and the auxiliary function button area 4 in sequence. The freight button area 2, the driving button area 3, and the auxiliary function button area 4 move up and down through the button area lifting components. Through each independent lifting drive component, the freight button area 2, the driving button area 3, and the auxiliary function button area 4 can be moved out of the hidden slot.

[0030] When performing a corresponding operation, the corresponding button area 3 is moved outside the main body of the console 1 to avoid accidental touches to other areas. This cuts off the accidental touch path from a structural perspective, reduces the risk of misoperation in complex operation scenarios, simplifies the driver's visual recognition and operation process, and improves the safety and ease of use of the console.

[0031] The button area lifting component includes a base support bracket 15 embedded in the inner cavity of the control panel body 1. An outer cylinder 17 is rotatably mounted on the base support bracket 15. The bottoms of the freight button area 2, the driving button area 3, and the auxiliary function button area 4 are all fixedly connected to studs 16 threadedly connected to the outer cylinder 17. The base support bracket 15 is provided with a rotary drive component for driving the outer cylinder 17 to rotate. The rotary drive component includes a driven gear fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 17. A motor is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the base support bracket 15. A driving gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the motor output shaft through a central mounting hole. The driving gear meshes with the driven gear. The outer cylinder 17 rotates through a through hole in the base support bracket 15. A threaded through hole is longitudinally opened on the outer cylinder 17. The outer cylinder 17 is threadedly connected to the outside of the stud 16.

[0032] The control console features a split structure for easy installation. Its upper part is designed to fit the vehicle's frame, while the lower inner side has a pre-installed bracket to maintain a certain distance between the console and the frame, facilitating welding. The aesthetically pleasing curved design includes a cup holder and a rotating ashtray holder, meeting the driver's daily needs.

[0033] The modular design allows for quick and easy installation, increases installation space, and improves driver convenience and visibility. The entire platform is independently covered by multiple panels and support frames, making maintenance easier.

[0034] After the motor is connected to the power supply through the wire, the output shaft of the motor drives the drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear that meshes with the drive gear to rotate the outer cylinder 17, which in turn drives the stud 16 that is threadedly connected to the outer cylinder 17 to move the corresponding button area.

[0035] The outer wall of the control console body 1 is rotatably provided with accidental contact covers 5 respectively sleeved on the outside of each lifting drive component, and the accidental contact covers 5 are rotatably set on the side wall of the control console body 1 through a reset rotating component. The accidental contact covers 5 are provided with a latch 12 that locks with the control console body 1. A card block that engages with the latch 12 is fixedly installed on the control console body 1 through an elastic support plate. The cross section of the card block is triangular.

[0036] As the accidental touch cover 5 closes, the latch 12 on the accidental touch cover 5 engages with the latch block on the main body of the control console 1, ensuring the stability of the accidental touch cover 5 after it covers the drive button 6.

[0037] It is worth noting that the reset-type rotating component includes a fixed frame 13 fixed to the side wall of the control panel body 1, the accidental touch cover 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 13 via a rotating shaft 10, and a rewind spring 11 sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 10 is provided between the fixed frame 13 and the accidental touch cover 5.

[0038] When selecting the corresponding button area, rotate the accidental touch cover 5. At this time, the return spring 11 generates elastic force, which moves the corresponding button area out. After that, the accidental touch cover 5 covers the outside of the corresponding button through the elastic force of the return spring 11, preventing the drive button 6 from being accidentally touched when operating the button.

[0039] Furthermore, the lifting drive component includes a support 7 embedded in the side wall of the control console body 1. A drive button 6 is embedded in the outward side of the support 7. A moving contact 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the drive button 6. The support 7 is fixedly embedded in the surface of the control console 1. A groove is formed on the surface of the support 7, and a fixed contact 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove. The drive button 6 slides against the inner wall of the groove. The fixed contact 9, which is opposite to the moving contact 8, is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support 7, and the inner wall of the support 7 and the drive button 6 are connected by a spring 14.

[0040] When it is necessary to operate the corresponding area button, first press the drive button 6 where the corresponding area is located, so that the moving contact 8 on the drive button 6 moves to the fixed contact 9. When the moving contact 8 and the fixed contact 9 make contact, the corresponding button area moves out from the top of the console body 1, while the other button areas remain hidden inside the console body 1 to avoid accidentally touching other button areas.

[0041] In addition, the moving contact 8 is electrically connected to an external power source via a wire, and the fixed contact 9 is electrically connected to the drive end of the rotary drive component via a wire. Both the moving contact 8 and the fixed contact 9 are made of conductive metal. The fixed contact 9 is electrically connected to the motor where the drive gear is located via a wire. When the moving contact 8 and the fixed contact 9 are in contact, the motor is connected to an external power source to operate.

[0042] Furthermore, a guide frame is fixedly installed on the top of the bottom support bracket 15. Guide blocks that slide on the inner wall of the guide frame are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the freight button area 2, the driving button area 3, and the auxiliary function button area 4. The transverse cross section of the guide block and the slide groove on the inner wall of the guide frame is T-shaped. A guide frame fixed to the top of the bottom support bracket 15 is fixedly installed on both sides of each button area.

[0043] During position adjustment, each button area slides within a groove on the inner wall of the guide frame via a guide block, thus ensuring the stability of the process of concealing each button area.

[0044] In actual manufacturing, the control panel is made of high-strength 304 stainless steel plate with a brushed outer surface. The parts that fit against the vehicle body structure are fully welded to ensure stability, durability, and aesthetics. The support frame is bolted to the control panel, and buttons and other components are connected to the internal circuitry of the control panel via standard interfaces for easy installation and maintenance.
