Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of vehicle accessories, specifically relating to a rotating mechanism, a display device, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The central control screen is the core interactive interface of modern vehicle infotainment systems. It can integrate media control, vehicle settings, navigation, communication and intelligent connectivity functions. Since the optimal viewing angle for users of different heights to observe and operate the central control screen is different, and most existing central control screens are fixedly connected to the center console, this affects the user's driving experience.

[0003] To enhance the user experience, some vehicles feature a rotating mechanism on the center console. This mechanism includes a support frame on the center console, a support rod on the support frame, and two telescopic rods on the support frame. The two telescopic rods are located on either side of the support rod, and all three are connected to the center screen via corresponding ball joints. When the tilt angle of the center screen is adjusted, the piston rods of the two telescopic rods extend or retract simultaneously, causing the center screen to rotate around the connection point between the support rod and the screen. This allows for adjustment of the tilt angle of the central control screen. When adjusting the yaw angle of the central control screen, the piston rod of one of the telescopic rods extends or retracts, pushing or pulling one side of the central control screen. This causes the central control screen to rotate around the connection point between the other telescopic rod and the central control screen, as well as the line connecting the support rod and the central control screen. This adjusts the yaw angle of the central control screen, allowing the display screen mounted on the center console via the rotating mechanism to meet the viewing and operation needs of users of different heights, thus improving the user experience.

[0004] However, since the existing rotating mechanism uses telescopic rods to drive the central control screen, it occupies a large space, affecting the convenience of installation and layout. Furthermore, when adjusting the tilt angle of the central control screen, if only one telescopic rod's piston rod extends or retracts, the screen's pitch angle will also change. While simultaneous movement of both telescopic rods allows for individual adjustment of the screen's tilt angle, it complicates the control logic for the rotating mechanism. Therefore, ensuring that the rotating mechanism can independently adjust the screen's pitch and tilt angles while facilitating installation and layout and simplifying control logic has become an urgent technical challenge. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a rotating mechanism that, while ensuring that the rotating mechanism can independently adjust the pitch and yaw angles of the central control screen, also facilitates the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism and simplifies the control logic.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0007] A rotating mechanism includes a base, a ball, a pitch adjustment component, and a yaw adjustment component. The base has a clamping arm for holding the ball and a mounting position for mounting a central control screen. The pitch adjustment component has a first drive tooth and is rotatably connected to the base, connected to the ball, and capable of driving the ball to rotate. The yaw adjustment component has a second drive tooth and is rotatably connected to the base, connected to the ball, and capable of driving the ball to rotate. The rotation axis of the yaw adjustment component is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment component. When the pitch adjustment component drives the ball to rotate, the yaw adjustment component can slide relative to the ball. When the yaw adjustment component drives the ball to rotate, the pitch adjustment component can slide relative to the ball.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the rotating mechanism in this application, the rotating mechanism is installed on the center console of the vehicle, the center console screen is installed on the rotating mechanism, that is, the base is installed on the center console of the vehicle, and the center console screen is installed in the mounting position, so that the center console screen is installed on the center console of the vehicle through the rotating mechanism.

[0009] Since the pitch adjustment component has a first drive tooth and is rotatably connected to the base, a motor can be used to drive the pitch adjustment component to adjust the pitch angle of the central control screen. Since the yaw adjustment component has a second drive tooth and is rotatably connected to the base, a motor can be used to drive the yaw adjustment component to adjust the pitch angle of the central control screen.

[0010] In summary, both the pitch adjustment component and the yaw adjustment component in this application can be driven by a motor, so that the pitch angle and yaw angle of the central control screen can be adjusted by the cooperation of the motor and the pitch adjustment component. Compared with the prior art, which uses a telescopic rod to adjust the pitch angle and yaw angle of the central control screen, this reduces the space occupied by the rotating mechanism, thereby facilitating the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism.

[0011] When adjusting the tilt angle of the central control screen, a motor is used to drive the tilt adjustment component, causing the tilt adjustment component to rotate relative to the base. This causes the tilt adjustment component to rotate the ball, while the yaw adjustment component slides relative to the ball, causing the ball to rotate the central control screen, thus achieving the adjustment of the tilt angle of the central control screen.

[0012] When adjusting the tilt angle of the central control screen, a motor is used to drive the tilt adjustment component, so that the tilt adjustment component rotates relative to the base. This causes the tilt adjustment component to drive the ball to rotate, while the pitch adjustment component slides relative to the ball, so that the ball drives the central control screen to rotate, thereby achieving the adjustment of the tilt angle of the central control screen.

[0013] Because the pitch adjustment component drives the ball to rotate, the yaw adjustment component can slide relative to the ball, and the pitch adjustment component can slide relative to the ball when the yaw adjustment component drives the ball to rotate. This ensures that the pitch adjustment component and the yaw adjustment component do not affect each other. Thus, the pitch angle of the central control screen can be adjusted independently by driving the pitch adjustment component alone, and the yaw angle of the central control screen can be adjusted independently by driving the yaw adjustment component alone. This simplifies the control logic of the rotation mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, by setting the first drive tooth and the second drive tooth in this application, the output speed of the motor can be reduced and the transmission torque of the pitch adjustment component and the yaw adjustment component can be increased, thereby reducing the load on the motor. This allows for the use of smaller motors to drive the pitch adjustment component and the yaw adjustment component, thereby reducing the production cost of vehicles equipped with the rotating mechanism of this application.

[0015] Optionally, the sphere is provided with a plurality of first driven teeth along its own meridian direction, each of the first driven teeth extending along the latitudinal direction of the sphere, and the pitch adjustment component includes a pitch shaft rotatably connected to the base and a first external gear ring provided on the pitch shaft, the teeth of the first external gear ring forming the first driving teeth and meshing with the first driven teeth.

[0016] And / or, the sphere is provided with a plurality of second driven teeth along its own latitude direction, each of the second driven teeth extending along the longitude direction of the sphere, the yaw adjustment component includes a yaw shaft rotatably connected to the base and a second external gear ring provided on the yaw shaft, the teeth of the second external gear ring forming the second driving teeth and meshing with the second driven teeth.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when adjusting the pitch angle of the central control screen, the pitch adjustment component is driven to rotate, so that the pitch axis drives the first external gear ring to rotate. The first external gear ring and the first driven gear rotate relative to each other, which in turn causes the first driven gear to drive the ball to move. The ball drives the central control screen to move, so as to achieve the adjustment of the pitch angle of the central control screen.

[0018] Since each first driven tooth extends along the latitude of the sphere, on the one hand, when the sphere rotates under the action of the yaw adjustment component, the first driving tooth can slide relative to the first driven tooth, so that when the sphere rotates under the action of the yaw adjustment component, the pitch adjustment component can slide relative to the sphere. On the other hand, when the sphere rotates under the action of the yaw adjustment component, the meshing of the first driving tooth and the first driven tooth can limit the sphere, so that the sphere can rotate on the set path under the action of the yaw adjustment component, thereby increasing the stability of the sphere and ensuring the stability when adjusting the yaw angle of the central control screen.

[0019] When adjusting the tilt angle of the central control screen, the tilt adjustment component is driven to rotate, so that the tilt shaft drives the second external gear ring to rotate. The second external gear ring and the second driven gear rotate relative to each other, which in turn causes the second driven gear to drive the ball to move. The ball drives the central control screen to move, so as to achieve the adjustment of the tilt angle of the central control screen.

[0020] Since each second driven tooth extends along the meridian of the sphere, on the one hand, when the sphere rotates under the action of the pitch adjustment component, the second drive tooth can slide relative to the second driven tooth, so that when the sphere rotates under the action of the pitch adjustment component, the yaw adjustment component can slide relative to the sphere. On the other hand, when the sphere rotates under the action of the pitch adjustment component, the meshing of the second drive tooth and the second driven tooth can limit the sphere, so that the sphere can rotate on the set path under the action of the pitch adjustment component, thereby increasing the stability of the sphere and ensuring the stability when adjusting the yaw angle of the central control screen.

[0021] Optionally, the base has a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the pitch adjustment member and the yaw adjustment member are respectively located at both ends of the first direction of the base, and the clamping arm is located at both ends of the second direction of the base.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, since the pitch adjustment component and the yaw adjustment component are located at both ends of the base in the first direction, the pitch adjustment component can avoid the yaw adjustment component, so as to ensure that the pitch angle and yaw angle of the central control screen can be adjusted. At the same time, the space in the first direction of the base can be reasonably utilized to facilitate the assembly of the rotating mechanism. Furthermore, since the clamping arm is located at both ends of the base in the second direction, the pitch adjustment component and the yaw adjustment component can also avoid the clamping arm, so as to ensure that the pitch angle and yaw angle of the central control screen can be adjusted. At the same time, the circumferential space of the base can be reasonably utilized to facilitate the assembly of the rotating mechanism.

[0023] Optionally, the pitch adjustment component includes a pitch plate rotatably connected to the base and a pitch body disposed on the pitch plate, the first drive tooth is disposed on the circumferential surface of the pitch body, the pitch plate is provided with a pitch groove extending along the rotation axis of the pitch plate, and the ball is provided with a transmission body extending into the pitch groove.

[0024] And / or, the yaw adjustment component includes a yaw body rotatably connected to the base and a yaw plate disposed on the yaw body, the second drive tooth is disposed on the circumferential surface of the yaw body, the yaw plate is provided with a yaw groove extending along the rotation axis of the yaw plate, and the sphere is provided with a transmission body extending into the yaw groove.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when adjusting the pitch angle of the central control screen, the motor drives the first drive tooth to move, so that the first drive tooth drives the pitch body to move, the pitch body drives the pitch plate to rotate, and then the ball rotates with the pitch plate under the action of the transmission body and the stop of the pitch groove wall, so that the ball drives the central control screen to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the pitch angle of the central control screen.

[0026] Because the pitch plate is provided with a pitch groove extending along the rotation axis of the pitch plate, and the ball is provided with a transmission body extending into the pitch groove, on the one hand, the ball can follow the pitch plate under the action of the transmission body and the stop of the pitch groove wall to adjust the pitch angle of the central control screen. On the other hand, when the yaw adjustment component drives the ball to move, the transmission body can also slide relative to the pitch groove to achieve relative sliding between the pitch adjustment component and the ball when the ball follows the yaw adjustment component. Furthermore, when the ball follows the yaw adjustment component, the transmission body and the stop of the pitch groove wall can be used to limit the ball to move along the set path, thereby ensuring the stability when adjusting the yaw angle of the central control screen.

[0027] When adjusting the tilt angle of the central control screen, the motor drives the second drive tooth to move, so that the second drive tooth drives the tilt body to move, the tilt body drives the tilt plate to rotate, and then the ball rotates with the tilt plate under the action of the transmission body and the groove wall stop of the tilt groove, so that the ball drives the central control screen to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tilt angle of the central control screen.

[0028] Because the pitch plate is provided with a sway groove extending along the rotation axis of the sway plate, and the ball is provided with a transmission body extending into the sway groove, the ball can move with the sway plate under the action of the transmission body and the stop of the sway groove wall, so as to adjust the sway angle of the central control screen. On the other hand, when the pitch adjustment component drives the ball to move, the transmission body can also slide relative to the sway groove, so as to realize the relative sliding between the sway adjustment component and the ball when the ball moves with the pitch adjustment component. Furthermore, when the ball moves with the pitch adjustment component, the transmission body and the stop of the sway groove wall can also be used to limit the ball, so that the ball moves along the set path, thereby ensuring the stability when adjusting the pitch angle of the central control screen.

[0029] Optionally, the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment component passes through the center of the sphere;

[0030] And / or, the rotation axis of the yaw adjustment element passes through the center of the sphere.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, since the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment component passes through the center of the sphere, the distance between the pitch adjustment component and the sphere can remain unchanged when the pitch adjustment component rotates. This reduces the space required for the pitch adjustment component to rotate, thereby facilitating the installation and arrangement of the rotation mechanism.

[0032] Since the rotation axis of the yaw adjustment component passes through the center of the sphere, the distance between the yaw adjustment component and the sphere remains constant when the yaw adjustment component rotates. This reduces the space required for the yaw adjustment component to rotate, thereby facilitating the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism.

[0033] Optionally, the yaw adjustment component includes a yaw body, the base has a mounting cavity, the yaw body has a connecting section located in the mounting cavity and a yaw section located outside the mounting cavity, the connecting section is rotatably connected to the base, and the second drive tooth is located at the end of the yaw section away from the connecting section.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, since the oscillating body has a connecting section located in the mounting cavity, at least part of the oscillating body can be hidden in the base, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the rotating mechanism. Simultaneously, the cavity wall of the mounting cavity can be used to position and limit the connecting section, increasing the connection stability between the oscillating body and the base. Furthermore, since the second drive tooth is located at the end of the oscillating section away from the connecting section, the distance between the second drive tooth and the rotation axis of the oscillating body can be increased, thereby reducing the load on the motor driving the second drive tooth. This reduces the power of the motor used to drive the oscillating adjustment component, thus lowering the production cost of vehicles equipped with the rotating mechanism of this application.

[0035] Optionally, the pitch adjustment component includes a pitch plate rotatably connected to the base and a pitch body disposed on the pitch plate. The pitch body has a fixed section fixedly connected to the pitch plate and a pitch section extending outward from the fixed section. The first drive tooth is disposed at the end of the pitch section away from the fixed section.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, since the first drive tooth is located at the end of the pitch section away from the fixed section, the distance between the second drive tooth and the rotation axis of the pitch plate can be increased, thereby reducing the load on the motor when driving the first drive tooth, which can reduce the power of the motor used to drive the yaw adjustment component, and thus reduce the production cost of the vehicle equipped with the rotation mechanism of this application.

[0037] Optionally, the sphere is provided with a connecting flange, which constitutes the mounting position.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, since the connecting flange constitutes the mounting position, it not only facilitates the installation of the central control screen on the rotating mechanism, but also increases the connection stability between the central control screen and the mounting position.

[0039] This application also provides a display device to facilitate the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism and simplify the control logic.

[0040] A display device includes a central control screen and a rotating mechanism as described above, the central control screen being connected to the mounting position.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, since the display device in this application uses the aforementioned rotating mechanism, both the pitch adjustment component and the yaw adjustment component in this application can be driven by a motor. This allows for the adjustment of the pitch angle and yaw angle of the central control screen through the cooperation of the motor and the pitch and yaw adjustment components. Compared to the prior art solution that uses a telescopic rod to adjust the pitch and yaw angle of the central control screen, this reduces the space occupied by the rotating mechanism, thus facilitating its installation and arrangement. Simultaneously, the pitch adjustment component and the yaw adjustment component do not interfere with each other when adjusting the central control screen, thereby simplifying the control logic of the rotating mechanism.

[0042] This application also provides a vehicle that facilitates the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism and simplifies the control logic.

[0043] A vehicle includes a center console and a rotating mechanism as described above or a display device as described above.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, since the vehicle in this application uses the aforementioned rotating mechanism or the aforementioned display device, it is possible to use a motor to drive the pitch adjustment component to adjust the pitch angle of the central control screen and to use a motor to drive the yaw adjustment component to adjust the yaw angle of the central control screen. This facilitates the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism. At the same time, when adjusting the pitch angle of the central control screen using the pitch adjustment component and when adjusting the yaw angle of the central control screen using the yaw adjustment component, the two do not affect each other, thereby simplifying the control logic of the rotating mechanism.

[0045] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows:

[0046] 1. The rotating mechanism in this application includes a base, a ball, a pitch adjustment component, and a yaw adjustment component. The base has a clamping arm for holding the ball and a mounting position for mounting the central control screen. The pitch adjustment component has a first drive tooth and is rotatably connected to the base. The pitch adjustment component is connected to the ball and can drive the ball to rotate. The yaw adjustment component has a second drive tooth and is rotatably connected to the base. The yaw adjustment component is connected to the ball and can drive the ball to rotate. The rotation axis of the yaw adjustment component is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment component. Thus, the pitch adjustment component can be driven by a motor to adjust the pitch angle of the central control screen, and the yaw adjustment component can be driven by a motor to adjust the yaw angle of the central control screen. This reduces the space occupied by the rotating mechanism, thereby facilitating its installation and arrangement. Furthermore, the adjustment of the pitch angle of the central control screen by the pitch adjustment component and the adjustment of the yaw angle of the central control screen by the yaw adjustment component do not affect each other, thus simplifying the control logic of the rotating mechanism.

[0047] 2. In this application, the sphere is provided with a plurality of first driven teeth along its own meridian direction, and each first driven tooth extends along the latitudinal direction of the sphere. The pitch adjustment component includes a pitch shaft rotatably connected to the base and a first external gear ring provided on the pitch shaft. The teeth of the first external gear ring constitute the first driving teeth and mesh with the first driven teeth. Thus, on the one hand, when the sphere rotates under the action of the yaw adjustment component, the first driving teeth can slide relative to the first driven teeth, so that when the sphere rotates under the action of the yaw adjustment component, the pitch adjustment component can slide relative to the sphere. On the other hand, when the sphere rotates under the action of the yaw adjustment component, the meshing of the first driving teeth and the first driven teeth can limit the sphere, so that the sphere can rotate on the set path under the action of the yaw adjustment component, thereby increasing the stability of the sphere and ensuring the stability when adjusting the yaw angle of the central control screen.

[0048] 3. In this application, the sphere is provided with multiple second driven teeth along its own latitude direction. Each second driven tooth extends along the longitude direction of the sphere. The yaw adjustment component includes a yaw shaft rotatably connected to the base and a second external gear ring disposed on the yaw shaft. The teeth of the second external gear ring constitute the second driving teeth and mesh with the second driven teeth. Thus, on the one hand, when the sphere rotates under the action of the pitch adjustment component, the second driving teeth can slide relative to the second driven teeth, so that when the sphere rotates under the action of the pitch adjustment component, the yaw adjustment component can slide relative to the sphere. On the other hand, when the sphere rotates under the action of the pitch adjustment component, the meshing of the second driving teeth and the second driven teeth can limit the sphere, so that the sphere can rotate on the set path under the action of the pitch adjustment component, thereby increasing the stability of the sphere and ensuring the stability when adjusting the yaw angle of the central control screen.

[0070] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this application, a detailed explanation is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0072] Furthermore, it should be understood in the description of this application that the terms "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0073] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0074] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the "above" or "below" of the second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "implementation," "example," "a particular embodiment," "example," or "specific example," etc., indicate that the specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0075] Reference Figures 1 to 15 A rotating mechanism is disclosed, comprising a base 1, a ball 2, a pitch adjustment member 3, and a yaw adjustment member 4. The base 1 has a clamping arm 11 for holding the ball 2 and a mounting position for mounting a central control screen 5. The pitch adjustment member 3 has a first drive tooth 321 and is rotatably connected to the base 1, connected to the ball 2, and capable of driving the ball 2 to rotate. The yaw adjustment member 4 has a second drive tooth 421 and is rotatably connected to the base 1, connected to the ball 2, and capable of driving the ball 2 to rotate. The rotation axis of the yaw adjustment member 4 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment member 3. When the pitch adjustment member 3 drives the ball 2 to rotate, the yaw adjustment member 4 can slide relative to the ball 2. When the yaw adjustment member 4 drives the ball 2 to rotate, the pitch adjustment member 3 can slide relative to the ball 2.

[0076] It is understandable that there are two clamping arms 11, and the two clamping arms 11 are located on opposite sides of the ball 2, so as to use the two clamping arms 11 to clamp the ball 2 and install the ball 2 on the base 1.

[0077] When using the rotating mechanism in this application, the rotating mechanism is installed on the center console of the vehicle, and the center console screen 5 is installed on the rotating mechanism. That is, the base 1 is installed on the center console of the vehicle, and the center console screen 5 is installed in the mounting position. At the same time, when the vehicle is stopped on a horizontal plane, the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment component 3 is set horizontally, and the rotation axis of the yaw adjustment component 4 is set vertically, so that the center console screen 5 is installed on the center console of the vehicle through the rotating mechanism.

[0078] Since the pitch adjustment component 3 has a first drive tooth 321 and is rotatably connected to the base 1, the pitch adjustment component 3 can be driven by a motor to adjust the pitch angle of the central control screen 5. Since the yaw adjustment component 4 has a second drive tooth 421 and is rotatably connected to the base 1, the yaw adjustment component 4 can be driven by a motor to adjust the pitch angle of the central control screen 5.

[0079] In summary, both the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4 in this application can be driven by a motor, so that the pitch angle and yaw angle of the central control screen 5 can be adjusted by the cooperation of the motor with the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4. Compared with the prior art scheme of adjusting the pitch angle and yaw angle of the central control screen 5 by using a telescopic rod, it reduces the space occupied by the rotating mechanism, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism.

[0080] When adjusting the tilt angle of the central control screen 5, the motor drives the tilt adjustment component 3 to rotate relative to the base 1, which in turn causes the tilt adjustment component 3 to rotate the ball 2. At the same time, the yaw adjustment component 4 slides relative to the ball 2, so that the ball 2 drives the central control screen 5 to rotate, thereby achieving the adjustment of the tilt angle of the central control screen 5.

[0081] When adjusting the tilt angle of the central control screen 5, the motor drives the tilt adjustment component 4 so that the tilt adjustment component 4 rotates relative to the base 1, thereby causing the tilt adjustment component 4 to drive the ball 2 to rotate. At the same time, the pitch adjustment component 3 slides relative to the ball 2 so that the ball 2 drives the central control screen 5 to rotate, thereby achieving the adjustment of the tilt angle of the central control screen 5.

[0082] When the pitch adjustment component 3 drives the ball 2 to rotate, the yaw adjustment component 4 can slide relative to the ball 2. When the yaw adjustment component 4 drives the ball 2 to rotate, the pitch adjustment component 3 can slide relative to the ball 2. This allows the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4 to not affect each other. Thus, the pitch angle of the central control screen 5 can be adjusted independently by driving the pitch adjustment component 3, and the yaw angle of the central control screen 5 can be adjusted independently by driving the yaw adjustment component 4. This ensures that the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4 do not affect each other when adjusting the central control screen 5, thereby simplifying the control logic of the rotation mechanism.

[0083] Furthermore, by setting the first drive gear 321 and the second drive gear 421 in this application, the output speed of the motor can be reduced and the torque transmitted by the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4 can be increased, thereby reducing the load on the motor. This allows the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4 to be driven by motors with smaller power, thereby reducing the production cost of vehicles equipped with the rotating mechanism in this application.

[0084] Preferably, the contours of the two clamping arms 11 facing the wall of the sphere 2 are adapted to the outer contour of the sphere 2, so as to increase the contact area between the clamping arms 11 and the sphere 2, thereby increasing the clamping effect of the clamping arms 11 on the sphere 2, and thus increasing the stability of the sphere 2.

[0085] This application does not specify the method by which the pitch adjustment component 3 drives the ball 2 to move when it rotates; it can adopt any of the following embodiments:

[0086] Implementation Method 1, in this implementation method, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sphere 2 is provided with a plurality of first driven teeth 21 along its own meridian direction. Each first driven tooth 21 extends along the latitude direction of the sphere 2. The pitch adjustment component 3 includes a pitch shaft 31 rotatably connected to the base 1 and a first external gear ring 32 provided on the pitch shaft 31. The teeth of the first external gear ring 32 constitute the first driving teeth 321 and mesh with the first driven teeth 21.

[0087] It is understandable that the first external gear ring 32 is coaxially arranged with the pitch axis 31.

[0088] When adjusting the pitch angle of the central control screen 5, the pitch adjustment component 3 is driven to rotate, so that the pitch shaft 31 drives the first external gear ring 32 to rotate. The first external gear ring 32 and the first driven gear 21 rotate relative to each other, which in turn causes the first driven gear 21 to drive the ball 2 to move. The ball 2 drives the central control screen 5 to move, so as to achieve the adjustment of the pitch angle of the central control screen 5.

[0089] Since each first driven tooth 21 extends along the latitude of the sphere 2, on the one hand, when the sphere 2 rotates under the action of the yaw adjustment member 4, the first driving tooth 321 can slide relative to the first driven tooth 21, so that when the sphere 2 rotates under the action of the yaw adjustment member 4, the pitch adjustment member 3 can slide relative to the sphere 2. On the other hand, when the sphere 2 rotates under the action of the yaw adjustment member 4, the meshing of the first driving tooth 321 and the first driven tooth 21 can limit the sphere 2, so that the sphere 2 can rotate on the set path under the action of the yaw adjustment member 4, thereby increasing the stability of the sphere 2 and ensuring the stability when adjusting the yaw angle of the central control screen 5.

[0090] This application does not specifically limit the positional relationship between the first external gear ring 32 and the pitch axis 31, nor the fixed connection method between the first external gear ring 32 and the pitch axis 31. Preferably, the first external gear ring 32 is integrally formed on the pitch axis 31 and located at the middle position along the length of the pitch axis 31. This increases the connection stability between the first external gear ring 32 and the pitch axis 31 and facilitates the installation of the pitch axis 31. In other embodiments, the first external gear ring 32 may also be integrally formed on the end along the length of the pitch axis 31; or the first external gear ring 32 may be connected to the pitch axis 31 by screws or snap-fit ​​structures.

[0091] This application does not specify the mounting method of the pitch axis 31; preferably, refer to... Figures 1 to 3 The base 1 has two pitch support arms 12 spaced apart. The two pitch support arms 12 have holes arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. The two ends of the pitch shaft 31 pass through the holes in the two pitch support arms 12 to achieve a rotatable connection between the pitch shaft 31 and the base 1. Simultaneously, a first external gear ring 32 is located between the two pitch support arms 12 to limit the movement of the first external gear ring 32, thereby increasing its stability. In other embodiments, the base 1 has a wall on its periphery, and the pitch shaft 31 passes through the wall located on the periphery of the base 1 to achieve a rotatable connection between the pitch shaft 31 and the base 1.

[0092] This application does not specify the driving method of the motor to the pitch axis 31. Preferably, refer to Figure 4The pitch axis 31 is coaxially provided with a central hole 311, the central hole 311 having a square cross-sectional shape. A linkage shaft, also with a square cross-sectional shape, is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor driving the pitch axis 31. The motor's output shaft is coaxially arranged with the pitch axis 31, and the linkage shaft extends into the central hole 311, with its outer circumferential surface contacting the hole wall of the central hole 311. This allows the motor's output shaft to rotate, driving the pitch axis 31 to rotate via the linkage shaft, thus achieving motor-driven pitch axis 31. In other embodiments, the motor's output shaft is coaxially arranged with the pitch axis 31, and a gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the motor's output shaft. The gear meshes with a first external gear ring 32, allowing the motor's output shaft to rotate, driving the pitch axis 31 to rotate via the gear and the first external gear ring 32.

[0093] Implementation Method Two: In this implementation method, refer to... Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 14 The pitch adjustment component 3 includes a pitch plate 33 rotatably connected to the base 1 and a pitch body 34 disposed on the pitch plate 33. A first drive tooth 321 is disposed on the circumferential surface of the pitch body 34. The pitch plate 33 is provided with a pitch groove 333 extending along the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33. The ball 2 is provided with a transmission body 23 extending into the pitch groove 333.

[0094] It is understandable that the pitch body 34 is fixedly connected to the pitch plate 33, the transmission body 23 is fixedly connected to the ball 2, and the pitch groove 333 penetrates the pitch plate 33 in the thickness direction of the pitch plate 33.

[0095] When adjusting the pitch angle of the central control screen 5, the motor drives the first drive gear 321 to move, so that the first drive gear 321 drives the pitch body 34 to move, the pitch body 34 drives the pitch plate 33 to rotate, and then the ball 2 rotates with the pitch plate 33 under the action of the stop of the transmission body 23 and the groove wall of the pitch groove 333, so that the ball 2 drives the central control screen 5 to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the pitch angle of the central control screen 5.

[0096] Since the pitch plate 33 is provided with a pitch groove 333 extending along the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33, and the ball 2 is provided with a transmission body 23 extending into the pitch groove 333, the ball 2 can follow the pitch plate 33 under the action of the transmission body 23 and the groove wall stop of the pitch groove 333 to adjust the pitch angle of the central control screen 5. On the other hand, when the yaw adjustment component 4 drives the ball 2 to move, the transmission body 23 can also slide relative to the pitch groove 333 to achieve relative sliding between the pitch adjustment component 3 and the ball 2 when the ball 2 follows the yaw adjustment component 4. Furthermore, when the ball 2 follows the yaw adjustment component 4, the transmission body 23 can also be used to limit the ball 2 by cooperating with the groove wall stop of the pitch groove 333 to make the ball 2 move along the set path, thereby ensuring the stability when adjusting the yaw angle of the central control screen 5.

[0097] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the pitch plate 33; preferably, refer to... Figure 9 and Figure 14 The pitch plate 33 includes an arc-shaped segment 331 and straight segments 332 located at both ends of the arc-shaped segment 331. The two straight segments 332 are arranged in parallel and fixedly connected to the arc-shaped segment 331. The pitch groove 333 is provided in the arc-shaped segment 331 and extends along the outer contour of the arc-shaped segment 331 and along the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33. The two straight segments 332 are respectively rotatably connected to the two clamping arms 11 to further reduce the space occupied by the rotation mechanism, thereby further achieving the effect of facilitating the miniaturization design of the rotation mechanism. In other embodiments, the pitch plate 33 includes a first segment and second segments located at both ends of the first segment. The first segment is straight. The two second segments are arranged in parallel and fixedly connected to the first segment. The pitch groove 333 is provided in the first segment and extends along the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33. The two second segments are respectively rotatably connected to the two clamping arms 11 or rotatably connected to opposite sides of the base 1.

[0098] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the pitch body 34; preferably, refer to... Figure 9 and Figure 14 The pitch adjustment component 3 includes a pitch plate 33 rotatably connected to the base 1 and a pitch body 34 disposed on the pitch plate 33. The pitch body 34 has a fixed section 341 fixedly connected to the pitch plate 33 and a pitch section 342 extending outward from the fixed section 341. A first drive tooth 321 is disposed at the end of the pitch section 342 away from the fixed section 341.

[0099] It is understood that the "pitch section 342 extending outward from the fixed section 341" mentioned above refers to the pitch section 342 extending outward from the fixed section 341 in a direction away from the rotation axis of the pitch body 34; the pitch body 34 is a plate-shaped structure, and the pitch body 34 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33. The end face of the pitch section 342 away from the fixed section 341 is an arc-shaped surface, and the center of the arc is located on the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33. Multiple first drive teeth 321 are arranged sequentially along the arc direction of the arc-shaped surface, and the end face of the pitch section 342 away from the fixed section 341 constitutes part of the circumferential surface of the pitch body 34.

[0100] Since the first drive tooth 321 is located at the end of the pitch section 342 away from the fixed section 341, the distance between the second drive tooth 421 and the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33 can be increased, thereby reducing the load on the motor when driving the first drive tooth 321, so as to reduce the power of the motor used to drive the yaw adjustment member 4, and thus reduce the production cost of the vehicle equipped with the rotation mechanism of this application.

[0101] In other embodiments, the pitch body 34 may also be a gear fixedly connected to the pitch plate 33, with the gear and the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33 being coaxial.

[0102] The better one is to refer to Figure 11 The pitch body 34 is located on the side of the pitch plate 33 away from the ball 2, so that the pitch body 34 can avoid the clamping arm 11, so as to avoid the possible friction between the pitch body 34 and the base 1 when the pitch body 34 rotates. On the one hand, it reduces the driving force required to drive the pitch body 34 to rotate, and on the other hand, it avoids the noise generated by the friction between the pitch body 34 and the base 1 when the pitch body 34 rotates.

[0103] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the transmission body 23 or the method of fixing it to the ball 2. Preferably, refer to Figures 6 to 8 The transmission body 23 is a columnar structure integrally formed on the sphere 2 to increase the connection stability between the transmission body 23 and the sphere 2, and the cross-sectional shape of the transmission body 23 is square. In other embodiments, the transmission body 23 can also be fixedly connected to the sphere 2 by screw fixing or threaded connection; or, the transmission body 23 can be a structure with other cross-sectional shapes.

[0104] Preferably, the central axis of the transmission body 23 passes through the center of the sphere 2 to ensure the smoothness of the relative sliding between the transmission body 23 and the pitch groove 333.

[0105] This application does not specifically limit the positional relationship between the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment component 3 and the ball 2. Preferably, the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment component 3 passes through the center of the ball 2.

[0106] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment component 3 passes through the center of the sphere 2" refers to the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33 passing through the center of the sphere 2.

[0107] Since the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33 passes through the center of the sphere 2, the distance between the pitch plate 33 and the sphere 2 can remain unchanged when the pitch plate 33 rotates, thereby reducing the space required for the pitch plate 33 to rotate, and further facilitating the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism.

[0108] In other embodiments, the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment member 3 may also be spaced apart from the center of the sphere 2, that is, the rotation axis of the pitch adjustment member 3 will not pass through the center of the sphere 2.

[0109] This application does not specifically limit the driving method of the motor on the pitch body 34. Preferably, the output shaft of the motor is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the pitch plate 33, and a drive gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The drive gear meshes with the first drive gear 321, so that the output shaft of the motor drives the pitch body 34 to rotate through the drive gear and the first drive gear 321. In other embodiments, a transmission gear can also be provided between the drive gear and the first drive gear 321. The transmission gear meshes with the drive gear and the first drive gear 321, and the diameter of the drive gear is smaller than the diameter of the transmission gear, so as to further reduce the load when the motor drives the pitch adjustment member 3 to rotate.

[0110] This application does not specify the manner in which the yaw adjustment component 4 drives the ball 2 to move when it rotates; it can adopt any of the following embodiments:

[0111] Implementation Method 1, in this implementation method, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sphere 2 is provided with a plurality of second driven teeth 22 along its own latitude direction. Each second driven tooth 22 extends along the meridian direction of the sphere 2. The yaw adjustment component 4 includes a yaw shaft 41 rotatably connected to the base 1 and a second outer gear ring 42 provided on the yaw shaft 41. The teeth of the second outer gear ring 42 constitute the second driving tooth 421 and mesh with the second driven tooth 22.

[0112] It is understandable that the second external gear ring 42 is coaxially arranged with the yaw shaft 41.

[0113] When adjusting the tilt angle of the central control screen 5, the tilt adjustment component 4 is driven to rotate, so that the tilt shaft 41 drives the second external gear ring 42 to rotate. The second external gear ring 42 and the second driven gear 22 rotate relative to each other, which in turn causes the second driven gear 22 to drive the ball 2 to move. The ball 2 drives the central control screen 5 to move, so as to achieve the adjustment of the tilt angle of the central control screen 5.

[0114] Since each second driven tooth 22 extends along the meridian of the ball 2, on the one hand, when the ball 2 rotates under the action of the pitch adjustment member 3, the second drive tooth 421 can slide relative to the second driven tooth 22, so that when the ball 2 rotates under the action of the pitch adjustment member 3, the yaw adjustment member 4 can slide relative to the ball 2. On the other hand, when the ball 2 rotates under the action of the pitch adjustment member 3, the meshing of the second drive tooth 421 and the second driven tooth 22 can limit the ball 2, so that the ball 2 can rotate on the set path under the action of the pitch adjustment member 3, thereby increasing the stability of the ball 2 and ensuring the stability when adjusting the yaw angle of the central control screen 5.

[0115] This application does not specifically limit the positional relationship between the second external gear ring 42 and the yaw shaft 41, nor the fixed connection method between the second external gear ring 42 and the yaw shaft 41. Preferably, the second external gear ring 42 is integrally formed on the yaw shaft 41 and located at the middle position along the length of the yaw shaft 41. This increases the connection stability between the second external gear ring 42 and the yaw shaft 41 and facilitates the installation of the yaw shaft 41. In other embodiments, the second external gear ring 42 may also be integrally formed on the end along the length of the yaw shaft 41; or the second external gear ring 42 may be connected to the yaw shaft 41 by screws or snap-fit ​​structures.

[0116] This application does not specify the mounting method of the yaw shaft 41. Preferably, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The base 1 has two yaw support arms 13 spaced apart, with a support ring between the two yaw support arms 13. One bottom end of the pitch shaft 31 passes through the support ring to achieve a rotatable connection between the yaw shaft 41 and the base 1. In other embodiments, support rings can be provided at the top of both yaw support arms 13, spaced apart. The two ends of the yaw shaft 41 pass through the two support rings respectively, and the second external gear ring 42 is located between the two support rings, so that the two support rings can limit the second external gear ring 42 to increase the stability of the second external gear ring 42; or, a wall is provided on the periphery of the base 1, and the yaw shaft 41 passes through the wall on the periphery of the base 1 to achieve a rotatable connection between the yaw shaft 41 and the base 1.

[0117] This application does not specify the driving method of the motor on the yaw shaft 41. Preferably, refer to Figure 4The yaw shaft 41 is coaxially provided with a transmission hole 411, the cross-sectional shape of which is square. The output shaft of the motor used to drive the yaw shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to a linkage shaft, which is also square in cross-sectional shape. The output shaft of the motor is coaxially provided with the yaw shaft 41. The linkage shaft extends into the transmission hole 411, and the outer peripheral surface of the linkage shaft contacts the hole wall of the transmission hole 411, so that when the output shaft of the motor rotates, the output shaft of the motor drives the yaw shaft 41 to rotate through the linkage shaft, thereby realizing the motor driving the yaw shaft 41.

[0118] Preferably, the motor used to drive the yaw shaft 41 to rotate is located between the two yaw support arms 13, so as to make reasonable use of the space between the two yaw support arms 13 and improve the space utilization rate of the rotating mechanism.

[0119] In other embodiments, the motor output shaft is coaxially arranged with the yaw shaft 41, and a gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the motor output shaft. The gear meshes with the second external gear ring 42 so that when the motor output shaft rotates, the motor output shaft drives the pitch shaft 31 to rotate through the gear and the second external gear ring 42.

[0120] Implementation Method Two: In this implementation method, refer to... Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 15 The yaw adjustment component 4 includes a yaw body 43 rotatably connected to the base 1 and a yaw plate 44 disposed on the yaw body 43. A second drive tooth 421 is disposed on the circumferential surface of the yaw body 43. The yaw plate 44 is provided with a yaw groove 441 extending along the rotation axis of the yaw plate 44. The ball 2 is provided with a transmission body 23 extending into the yaw groove 441.

[0121] It is understood that the oscillating plate 44 is fixedly connected to the oscillating body 43, the transmission body 23 is fixedly connected to the ball 2, and the oscillating groove 441 passes through the oscillating plate 44 in the thickness direction of the oscillating plate 44.

[0122] When adjusting the tilt angle of the central control screen 5, the motor drives the second drive gear 421 to move, so that the second drive gear 421 drives the tilt body 43 to move, the tilt body 43 drives the tilt plate 44 to rotate, and then the ball 2 rotates with the tilt plate 44 under the action of the stop of the groove wall of the transmission body 23 and the tilt groove 441, so that the ball 2 drives the central control screen 5 to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tilt angle of the central control screen 5.

[0123] Since the pitch plate 33 is provided with a sway groove 441 extending along the rotation axis of the sway plate 44, and the ball 2 is provided with a transmission body 23 extending into the sway groove 441, the ball 2 can move with the sway plate 44 under the action of the transmission body 23 and the groove wall stop of the sway groove 441 to adjust the sway angle of the central control screen 5. On the other hand, when the pitch adjustment component 3 drives the ball 2 to move, the transmission body 23 can also slide relative to the sway groove 441 to achieve relative sliding between the sway adjustment component 4 and the ball 2 when the ball 2 moves with the pitch adjustment component 3. Furthermore, when the ball 2 moves with the pitch adjustment component 3, the transmission body 23 can also be used to limit the movement of the ball 2 by cooperating with the groove wall stop of the sway groove 441, so that the ball 2 moves along the set path, thereby ensuring the stability when adjusting the pitch angle of the central control screen 5.

[0124] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the oscillating plate 44. Preferably, the oscillating plate 44 is an arc-shaped plate structure, and the center of the arc of the oscillating plate 44 coincides with the center of the sphere 2. The oscillation groove 441 extends along the outer contour of the oscillating plate 44 and parallel to the rotation axis of the oscillating body 43, so as to further reduce the space occupied by the rotation mechanism, thereby further achieving the effect of facilitating the miniaturization design of the rotation mechanism. In other embodiments, the oscillating plate 44 can also be a straight plate structure.

[0125] This application does not specify the structure of the oscillating body 43 or the installation method of the oscillating body 43. Preferably, refer to Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 15 The yaw adjustment component 4 includes a yaw body 43, the base 1 has a mounting cavity 14, the yaw body 43 has a connecting section 431 located in the mounting cavity 14 and a yaw section 432 located outside the mounting cavity 14, the connecting section 431 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the second drive tooth 421 is located at the end of the yaw section 432 away from the connecting section 431.

[0126] It is understandable that one end of the sway plate 44 is fixedly connected to the sway section 432. The end face of the sway section 432 away from the connecting section 431 is an arc-shaped surface. The center of the arc-shaped surface is located on the rotation axis of the sway body 43. Multiple second drive teeth 421 are arranged sequentially along the arc direction of the arc-shaped surface. The end face of the sway section 432 away from the connecting section 431 constitutes part of the circumferential surface of the sway body 43.

[0127] Because the yaw body 43 has a connecting section 431 located in the mounting cavity 14, at least a portion of the yaw body 43 can be hidden in the base 1, facilitating the miniaturization of the rotating mechanism. Simultaneously, the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 14 can be used to position and limit the connecting section 431, increasing the connection stability between the yaw body 43 and the base 1. Furthermore, because the second drive tooth 421 is located at the end of the yaw section 432 away from the connecting section 431, the distance between the second drive tooth 421 and the rotation axis of the yaw body 43 can be increased. This reduces the load on the motor driving the second drive tooth 421, thereby reducing the power of the motor used to drive the yaw adjustment member 4, and ultimately lowering the production cost of the vehicle equipped with the rotating mechanism of this application.

[0128] In other embodiments, the oscillating body 43 can also be a gear, with one end of the oscillating plate 44 fixedly connected to the end face of the gear; or, the design of the mounting cavity 14 can be omitted, and the oscillating body 43 can be rotatably connected to the bottom of the base 1.

[0129] This application does not specifically limit the positional relationship between the rotation axis of the yaw adjustment member 4 and the ball 2. Preferably, the rotation axis of the yaw adjustment member 4 passes through the center of the ball 2.

[0130] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "rotation axis of the yaw adjustment component 4 passes through the center of the ball 2" refers to the rotation axis of the yaw body 43 passing through the center of the ball 2.

[0131] Since the rotation axis of the oscillating body 43 passes through the center of the sphere 2, the distance between the oscillating plate 44 and the sphere 2 can remain unchanged when the oscillating body 43 rotates. This reduces the space required for the oscillating plate 44 to rotate, thereby facilitating the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism.

[0132] In other embodiments, the rotation axis of the yaw adjustment member 4 may also be spaced apart from the center of the ball 2, that is, the rotation axis of the yaw adjustment member 4 will not pass through the center of the ball 2.

[0133] This application does not specifically limit the driving method of the motor on the yaw body 43. Preferably, the output shaft of the motor is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the yaw body 43, and a drive gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The drive gear meshes with the second drive gear 421, so that the output shaft of the motor drives the yaw body 43 to rotate through the drive gear and the second drive gear 421. In other embodiments, a transmission gear can also be provided between the drive gear and the second drive gear 421. The transmission gear meshes with the drive gear and the second drive gear 421, and the diameter of the drive gear is smaller than the diameter of the transmission gear, so as to further reduce the load when the motor drives the yaw adjustment member 4 to rotate.

[0134] When the pitch adjustment component 3 includes a pitch shaft 31 and a first external gear ring 32, and the yaw adjustment component 4 includes a yaw shaft 41 and a second external gear ring 42, or when the pitch adjustment component 3 includes a pitch shaft 31 and a first external gear ring 32, and the yaw adjustment component 4 includes a yaw body 43 and a yaw plate 44, or when the pitch adjustment component 3 includes a pitch plate 33 and a pitch body 34, and the yaw adjustment component 4 includes a yaw shaft 41 and a second external gear ring 42, the following embodiments can also be adopted:

[0135] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The base 1 has a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The pitch adjustment member 3 and the yaw adjustment member 4 are located at both ends of the first direction of the base 1, and the clamping arm 11 is located at both ends of the second direction of the base 1.

[0136] It should be noted that the first direction can be either the length direction or the width direction of the base 1, and the second direction is the other one. The attached diagram shows the first direction as the length direction of the base.

[0137] Since the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4 are located at both ends of the base 1 in the first direction, the pitch adjustment component 3 can avoid the yaw adjustment component 4, so as to ensure that the pitch angle and yaw angle of the central control screen 5 can be adjusted. At the same time, the space in the first direction of the base 1 can be reasonably utilized to facilitate the assembly of the rotating mechanism. Since the clamping arm 11 is located at both ends of the base 1 in the second direction, the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4 can also avoid the clamping arm 11, so as to ensure that the pitch angle and yaw angle of the central control screen 5 can be adjusted. At the same time, the circumferential space of the base 1 can be reasonably utilized to facilitate the assembly of the rotating mechanism.

[0138] This application does not specify the method of forming the mounting position; preferably, refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The ball 2 is provided with a connecting flange 24, which forms a mounting position. This facilitates the installation of the central control screen 5 on the rotating mechanism and increases the connection stability between the central control screen 5 and the mounting position.

[0139] This application does not specify the fixed connection method between the connecting flange 24 and the ball 2. Preferably, the connecting flange 24 is integrally formed into the ball 2. This increases the connection stability between the connecting flange 24 and the ball 2, and reduces the number of parts required to assemble the rotating mechanism, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the rotating mechanism. In other embodiments, the connecting flange 24 can also be fixedly connected to the ball 2 by screws.

[0140] In other embodiments, the sphere 2 is provided with a connection hole on its exterior, and the location of the connection hole constitutes a mounting position.

[0141] Reference Figures 16 to 18 This application also discloses a display device, which includes a central control screen 5 and a rotating mechanism as described above, wherein the central control screen 5 is connected to the mounting position.

[0142] Because the display device in this application uses the aforementioned rotating mechanism, both the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4 can be driven by a motor. This allows the adjustment of the pitch angle and yaw angle of the central control screen 5 through the cooperation of the motor with the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4. Compared with the prior art scheme that uses a telescopic rod to adjust the pitch and yaw angles of the central control screen 5, this reduces the space occupied by the rotating mechanism, thereby facilitating the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism. At the same time, the pitch adjustment component 3 and the yaw adjustment component 4 do not affect each other when adjusting the central control screen 5, thereby simplifying the control logic of the rotating mechanism.

[0143] The better one is to refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 The central control screen 5 is fixedly connected to a connecting arm 51, which is fixedly connected to the mounting position to increase the distance between the central control screen 5 and the ball 2, thereby ensuring that the rotating mechanism can adjust the central control screen 5 within its range.

[0144] This application also discloses a vehicle that includes a center console and a rotating mechanism as described above or a display device as described above.

[0145] Since the vehicle in this application uses the aforementioned rotating mechanism or the aforementioned display device, the pitch adjustment component 3 can be driven by a motor to adjust the pitch angle of the central control screen 5, and the yaw adjustment component 4 can be driven by a motor to adjust the yaw angle of the central control screen 5. This facilitates the installation and arrangement of the rotating mechanism. At the same time, when the pitch adjustment component 3 is used to adjust the pitch angle of the central control screen 5 and when the yaw adjustment component 4 is used to adjust the yaw angle of the central control screen 5, the two do not affect each other, thereby simplifying the control logic of the rotating mechanism.

[0146] Furthermore, the center console is equipped with a first motor for driving the pitch adjustment component 3 to rotate and a second motor for driving the yaw adjustment component 4 to rotate.

[0147] For any parts not mentioned in this application, existing technologies may be used or referenced.

[0148] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0149] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
