[0038] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0039] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 This application describes a sub-instrument panel assembly 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0040] According to an embodiment of this application, a sub-instrument panel assembly 100 for a vehicle is adapted to be disposed between vehicle seats. The sub-instrument panel assembly 100 includes a first housing 1, a second housing 2, and a limiting device 3. A first storage cavity 111 is formed in the first housing 1. An opening 13 communicating with the first storage cavity 111 is provided on the outer surface of the first storage cavity 111. The second housing 2 is movably disposed on the first housing 1. The second housing 2 is translated relative to the opening 13 to selectively cover or avoid the opening 13. A second storage cavity 21 is formed on the second housing 2. The limiting device 3 is disposed on the first housing 1. The limiting device 3 is configured to be movable or deformable to unlock or lock with the vehicle floor.

[0041] In related technologies, the secondary dashboard is typically located between the seats in a vehicle, primarily serving to provide a convenient operating interface and storage space for occupants. However, when camping or fishing outdoors, a mobile bar is needed to hold drinks, food, and various outdoor supplies, and placing it inside the vehicle would increase space usage.

[0042] The sub-dashboard assembly 100 is disposed between the vehicle seats. A first storage cavity 111 is formed within the first housing 1, and an opening 13 communicating with the first storage cavity 111 is provided on its outer surface, providing storage space for occupants. Occupants can place their personal belongings in the first storage cavity 111, meeting their storage needs. Meanwhile, the second housing 2 is movably disposed within the first housing 1 and can be shifted relative to the opening 13 to selectively cover or avoid it. This provides a sealing and protective function to the first storage cavity 111 after items are placed inside, preventing items from entering. Items may fall out due to shaking during vehicle operation. When the first storage compartment 111 is not needed, the second housing 2 can cover the open opening 13, making the surface of the sub-dashboard assembly 100 flat, increasing safety and aesthetics. The second storage compartment 21 formed on the second housing 2 further enriches the types of storage space. Passengers can place different items in the first storage compartment 111 and the second storage compartment 21 according to the type and frequency of use, achieving classified storage and convenient access, greatly satisfying the diverse storage needs of passengers.

[0043] The limiting device 3, mounted on the first housing 1, is movable or deformable to unlock or lock with the vehicle floor. During vehicle operation, when the limiting device 3 is locked to the vehicle floor, the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 is securely fixed between the seats. In this state, the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 will not shift due to vehicle bumps, acceleration, or deceleration, thus ensuring the safety of items in the first storage compartment 111 and the second storage compartment 21 and preventing damage or falling due to component movement. When the interior space needs to be rearranged, or when the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 is used outside the vehicle, the limiting device 3 is operated to move or deform, unlocking or locking with the vehicle floor. After the device 3 is unlocked, the sub-dashboard assembly 100 is no longer fixed to the vehicle floor, and the occupants can move the assembly freely inside the vehicle or remove it from the vehicle. After the sub-dashboard assembly 100 is removed from the vehicle, its storage function can be used in outdoor scenarios. In outdoor activities such as camping and fishing, the sub-dashboard assembly 100 can be used as a mobile bar or shelf. The first storage cavity 111 and the second storage cavity 21 can store beverages, food and various outdoor supplies, providing storage space for items. This avoids the traditional in-vehicle sub-dashboard being only suitable for the in-vehicle environment, and expands the usage scenario from inside the vehicle to outside the vehicle, enriching the application range of the sub-dashboard assembly 100 and effectively improving its functionality.

[0044] In short, since the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 is located between the vehicle seats, it can provide storage space for occupants inside the vehicle. At the same time, by unlocking or locking the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 to the vehicle floor through the limiting device 3, the storage function can be used in outdoor scenarios after the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 is removed from the vehicle. In outdoor activities such as camping and fishing, the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 can be used as a mobile bar or shelf. The first storage cavity 111 and the second storage cavity 21 can store beverages, food and various outdoor supplies, providing a stable and practical storage space for items. This avoids the sub-instrument panel being limited to the in-vehicle environment. The mobility and removal of the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 through the limiting device 3 expand the usage scenarios from inside the vehicle to outside the vehicle, greatly enriching the application range of the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 and effectively improving its functionality.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this application, a sub-dashboard assembly 100 for a vehicle includes a limiting device 3 comprising a limiting member 31 movably disposed in a first housing 1 to switch between an unlocked or locked state, wherein the limiting member 31 is used to engage with a locking hole provided on the vehicle floor, the limiting member 31 being inserted into the locking hole in the locked state and disengaged from the locking hole in the unlocked state.

[0046] The limiting component 31 is movably disposed on the first housing 1 and can switch between unlocked and locked states. It is used to cooperate with the locking hole provided on the vehicle floor. When it is necessary to fix the sub-instrument panel assembly 100, the limiting component 31 is operated to put it into the locked state. At this time, the limiting component 31 is inserted into the locking hole of the vehicle floor to form a mechanical connection, connecting the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 to the vehicle floor. When there is a need to adjust the interior layout or use the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 outside the vehicle, the limiting component 31 can be operated to switch it from the locked state to the unlocked state. In the unlocked state, the limiting component 31 is disengaged from the locking hole of the vehicle floor, and the mechanical connection between the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 and the vehicle floor is released. At this time, the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 is no longer fixed and restricted. The occupant can move the assembly inside the vehicle and place it in a position that better meets the needs of use. At the same time, the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 can also be taken out of the vehicle for outdoor camping, fishing and other scenarios.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this application, the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 for a vehicle includes a limiting device 3 further comprising a rotating disk 32 rotatably disposed on a first housing 1 about a first axis, wherein a first hinge point 321 and a second hinge point 322 are symmetrically arranged on the rotating disk 32; the limiting member 31 is configured as a first latch 311 and a second latch 312, wherein the end of the first latch 311 is rotatably connected to the first hinge point 321, and the end of the second latch 312 is rotatably connected to the second hinge point 322, wherein the rotating disk 32 rotates and drives the ends of the first latch 311 and the second latch 312 to move away from or closer to each other to insert into or disengage from the locking hole.

[0048] The rotating disk 32 is rotatably mounted on the first housing 1 around the first axis. The first hinge point 321 and the second hinge point 322, which are symmetrically distributed on the rotating disk 32, provide a rotating connection basis for the first latch 311 and the second latch 312. When it is necessary to fix the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 between the vehicle seats, the rotating disk 32 is rotated. As the rotating disk 32 rotates, the end of the first latch 311, which is rotatably connected to the first hinge point 321, and the end of the second latch 312, which is rotatably connected to the second hinge point 322, gradually move away from each other. During this process, the two latches move synchronously and are inserted into the corresponding locking holes on the vehicle floor. The simultaneous insertion of the two latches into the locking holes forms a double fixing effect. Compared with the single latch structure, it can withstand greater external force without loosening or displacement.

[0049] When the user needs to adjust the position of the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 or remove it for use outside the vehicle, the rotating disk 32 is rotated in the opposite direction. At this time, the rotating disk 32 causes the ends of the first locking tongue 311 and the second locking tongue 312 to gradually move closer to each other, and the two locking tongues simultaneously disengage from the locking hole. Since the first locking tongue 311 and the second locking tongue 312 are connected to the rotating disk 32 through the hinge point, the unlocking process is simple and smooth. The user only needs to rotate the rotating disk 32 to control the movement of the two locking tongues at the same time, without having to operate each locking tongue separately, which greatly reduces the unlocking steps and the difficulty of operation, and improves the convenience and efficiency of use.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, a pressing part 34 is also included. At least a portion of the pressing part 34 is exposed on the surface of the first housing 1 and is linked with the rotating disk 32. The linear pressing of the pressing part 34 triggers the rotation of the rotating disk 32, so as to further drive the ends of the first locking tongue 311 and the second locking tongue 312 away from or closer to each other.

[0051] According to some embodiments of this application, a sub-instrument panel assembly 100 for a vehicle includes a first housing 1 comprising an outer housing 12 and an inner housing 11, the outer housing 12 being disposed on the outer periphery of the inner housing 11 and spaced apart from each other to form a mounting cavity 121, and the inner housing 11 being provided with a first storage cavity 111; the limiting device 3 further includes a locking housing 33, the locking housing 33 being disposed on the outer housing 12 and received within the mounting cavity 121.

[0052] The first housing 1 includes an outer shell 12 and an inner shell 11. The outer shell 12 is disposed on the outer periphery of the inner shell 11 and spaced apart to form an installation cavity 121. The inner shell 11 is used to set the first storage cavity 111, which provides occupants with directly usable storage space. The installation cavity 121 provides an installation position for the locking housing 33 of the limiting device 3. The locking housing 33 is disposed on the outer shell 12 and housed in the installation cavity 121, so that the limiting device 3 can be hidden in the housing structure without occupying additional interior space or affecting the overall appearance and aesthetics of the sub-instrument panel assembly 100. Without increasing the external dimensions of the sub-instrument panel assembly 100, the storage function and the limiting function are integrated, which effectively improves the utilization efficiency of the vehicle interior space and makes the structural design of the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 more reasonable.

[0053] The locking housing 33 is disposed on the outer shell 12 and housed within the mounting cavity 121, providing a support structure for the limiting device 3. The outer shell 12 serves as the mounting base for the locking housing 33, which can evenly distribute the external forces received by the limiting device 3 during operation, avoiding excessive local stress that could lead to structural damage. At the same time, the mounting cavity 121 provides a good protective environment for the locking housing 33. Since the locking housing 33 is housed within the mounting cavity 121, the mounting cavity 121 can play a buffering role to a certain extent. When the vehicle is involved in a collision or impact, the structure of the mounting cavity 121 can absorb some energy, reducing the direct impact of external forces on the locking housing 33 and the internal limiting components 31, reducing the risk of component damage, helping to extend the service life of each component of the limiting device 3, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, and lowering the cost of use.

[0054] According to some embodiments of this application, a sub-instrument panel assembly 100 for a vehicle has a locking housing 33 having a limiting block 331 formed on it for limiting the rotation range of the rotating disk 32.

[0055] The limiting block 331 on the locking housing 33 limits the rotation range of the rotating disk 32. During the locking operation of the sub-instrument assembly 100, when the rotating disk 32 rotates to a specific position, allowing the first latch 311 and the second latch 312 to accurately insert into the locking holes in the vehicle floor, the limiting block 331 prevents the rotating disk 32 from continuing to rotate. This ensures that the rotating disk 32 does not rotate excessively, thus preventing situations where the latch is not properly inserted or where excessive rotation causes a misalignment between the latch and the locking hole. Similarly, during the unlocking operation, the limiting block 331 also limits the rotation range of the rotating disk 32, ensuring that the first latch 311 and the second latch 312 are completely disengaged from the locking hole. This prevents insufficient rotation of the rotating disk 32 from causing the latch to fail to fully unlock, or excessive rotation from causing unnecessary wear or damage to other components of the limiting device 3. In this way, the limiting block 331 ensures that each locking and unlocking operation achieves the expected results, making the sub-instrument assembly 100 more accurate and reliable when switching between fixed and movable states.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, a protruding limiting block 331 can be provided on the locking housing 33, and an arc-shaped groove can be machined at the corresponding position on the edge of the rotating disk 32.

[0057] In some other embodiments of this application, a retractable elastic pin is installed on the locking housing 33 as a limiting block 331, and a spring is provided inside the pin to provide elastic force. Limiting slots are provided at preset rotation range intervals along the edge of the rotating disk 32. When the rotating disk 32 rotates, the elastic pin remains in contact with the edge of the rotating disk 32 under the action of the spring. When the rotating disk 32 rotates to the locked or unlocked position, the pin will engage with the corresponding limiting slot under the action of the spring, thus limiting the rotation of the rotating disk 32 through the engaging action.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this application, a sub-instrument panel assembly 100 for a vehicle includes a housing 12 comprising a front housing 122 and a plug-in housing 123. The front housing 122 is at least partially spaced from an inner housing 11 to form a mounting cavity 121. The plug-in housing 123 is disposed on the rear side of the front housing 122 and together with the inner housing 11 defines a first storage cavity 111. The outer surface of the plug-in housing 123 has a recessed plug-in notch 124 adapted to mate with at least a portion of a vehicle seat.

[0059] The front housing 122 and the inner housing 11 are at least partially spaced apart to form a mounting cavity 121, which provides a spatial basis for the internal functional integration of the sub-instrument panel assembly 100. The mounting cavity 121 can be used to accommodate the locking housing 33 of the limiting device 3, etc., so that the locking housing 33, etc. can be hidden inside the housing without occupying additional interior space. The plug-in housing 123 is located on the rear side of the front housing 122 and together with the inner housing 11 defines the first storage cavity 111. The first storage cavity 111 can provide a place for passengers to store personal items such as water cups and mobile phones, meet the storage needs of daily travel, and realize the efficient use of space and the rational layout of functions. The concave plug-in notch 124 formed on the outer surface of the plug-in housing 123 is used to at least partially cooperate with the vehicle seat. When installing the sub-instrument panel assembly 100, the plug-in notch 124 can be embedded into the corresponding part of the seat to form a connection method similar to a mortise and tenon structure. Through the tight cooperation with the seat, the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 can obtain additional support during vehicle driving, enhancing the stability of installation and use.

[0060] According to some embodiments of this application, a sub-dashboard assembly 100 for a vehicle has a plug housing 123 forming a pin 125 on the wall of a plug notch 124 for engaging with a vehicle seat.

[0061] The insertion housing 123 forms a pin 125 on the wall of the insertion notch 124, further providing a positioning method for the connection between the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 and the vehicle seat. During installation, the pin 125 can be inserted into the pre-set holes or slots on the seat, ensuring that the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 is installed in the correct position and angle. Compared to relying on the engagement of the insertion notch 124, the addition of the pin 125 increases the number of connection points, creating a multi-point fixing effect. Multiple pins 125 can be set, and after multiple pins 125 engage with the corresponding positions on the seat, the tension and torque on the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 are distributed to each connection point, enhancing the overall connection strength. During vehicle operation, the sub-instrument panel assembly 100 remains stable and will not affect its safety and storage functions due to shaking or displacement.

[0062] According to some embodiments of this application, a sub-dashboard assembly 100 for a vehicle has an opening 13 disposed on the top of a first housing 1, and a second housing 2 slidably disposed on the top of the first housing 1 to open or close the opening 13.

[0063] The opening 13 is located at the top of the first housing 1. During the ride, passengers can easily place or retrieve items such as water cups and mobile phones into the first storage cavity 111 without bending over or adjusting their posture. The top opening makes the interior space of the storage cavity visible, allowing for quick location and retrieval of target items. This is especially convenient in low-light environments, eliminating the need for blind searching. The second housing 2 is slidably mounted on the top, allowing the opening 13 to be opened or closed by sliding horizontally. The operation is simple and direct, and passengers can complete the opening and closing action with one hand even while the vehicle is in motion, reducing operational difficulty and safety risks. When the second housing 2 slides to close the opening 13, it forms a physical shield for the first storage cavity 111, effectively preventing items from slipping out of the opening 13 due to bumps or sudden braking during vehicle operation. This provides safety protection, especially for easily rolling or fragile items such as bottled beverages and electronic devices. At the same time, the closed second housing 2 can prevent dust and debris from entering the storage cavity, keeping the interior clean and reducing the risk of item contamination. In addition, the second shell 2 can also protect privacy to a certain extent, prevent items in the storage cavity from being exposed, and enhance the user's sense of security.

[0064] According to some embodiments of this application, a sub-instrument panel assembly 100 for a vehicle has a first storage slot 211 and a second storage slot 212 formed at both ends of the top surface of the second housing 2, and a charging panel 213 located between the first storage slot 211 and the second storage slot 212 is also formed on the top surface of the second housing 2; wherein a wireless charging device 214 corresponding to the charging panel 213 is provided inside the second housing 2.

[0065] The second housing 2 has a first storage slot 211 and a second storage slot 212 at both ends of its top surface. The first storage slot 211 is a square slot, suitable for placing small personal items such as keys, cards, and earphones, which can be easily accessed by the user, improving the efficiency of frequently used items. The second storage slot 212 can be constructed as a cup holder, suitable for placing cups to prevent them from tipping over. The charging panel 213 located between the two storage slots is linked to the wireless charging device 214 inside the second housing 2, allowing electronic devices such as mobile phones to be charged directly while stored in the storage slots without the need for an additional data cable connection, solving the problem of tangled charging cables in traditional vehicles and improving convenience.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the device further includes: a side pocket 4 and a pull strap 5. The side pocket 4 is disposed on both sides of the width direction of the first housing 1. A third storage cavity is formed inside the side pocket 4. An opening communicating with the third storage cavity is provided on the outer surface of the third storage cavity. Two pull straps 5 are respectively disposed on both sides of the width direction of the first housing 1. The two ends of each pull strap 5 are spaced apart and disposed on the same side of the first housing 1. The pull strap 5 is configured to be unfolded to lift the first housing 1 or to be stored in the third storage cavity.

[0067] The third storage compartment, located on both sides, can accommodate long or flat items such as umbrellas, folding water bottles, and maps. Two pull straps 5 are respectively located on both sides of the first housing 1, with their ends fixed at intervals on the same side. The pull straps 5 can be unfolded or retracted. In the unfolded state, the pull straps 5 can be taken out of the third storage compartment and stretched to form a handle structure. Since the two ends of the pull straps 5 are fixed at intervals, the weight of the component can be evenly distributed when lifting, preventing tilting or falling. The sub-dashboard component 100 can be easily taken out of the vehicle or its position adjusted inside the vehicle through the pull straps 5. It is especially suitable for outdoor camping and can be moved outside the vehicle to be used as a bar. There is no need to lift the bottom of the component by hand, which improves the convenience of operation. In the retracted state, the pull straps 5 can be put into the third storage compartment to avoid being exposed and causing hooks or affecting the appearance of the interior. After being retracted, the outer surface of the side pocket 4 remains flat and consistent with the side contour of the first housing 1, without affecting the legroom of the occupants or the cleanliness of the vehicle interior.

[0068] According to some embodiments of this application, it also includes an electrical connection wire, one end of which is connected to the charging panel 213, and the other end is adapted to be connected to the vehicle's power supply.

[0069] The vehicle according to an embodiment of this application is briefly described below.
