Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of vehicle emergency stop button structures, and in particular to a window structure for an emergency stop button for an autonomous vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread adoption of driverless subway systems, emergency stop buttons are essential in case of emergencies, especially at the front of the train. When management personnel discover an emergency requiring intervention, the driver's console is enclosed and cannot be opened promptly. Therefore, an emergency stop button needs to be installed at the driver's console. However, the low position of the console and its easy access by passengers increase the possibility of accidental activation. In this situation, a quick-opening window structure that is both fragile in emergencies and designed to prevent accidental activation is required. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this application is to provide a window structure for an emergency stop button on an autonomous vehicle, including a dashboard cover with a window and an emergency stop button inside the dashboard cover. The window is covered with a fragile protective plate, and a rigid cover hinged to the outside of the dashboard cover is provided with a first connector on the side of the rigid cover near the dashboard cover. A second connector, magnetically connected to the first connector, is provided on the dashboard cover at a position corresponding to the first connector.

[0004] Preferably, the rigid cover is hinged to the dashboard cover via a damped hinge.

[0005] Preferably, the damping hinge and the second connector are respectively located on the outer edges of opposite sides of the window.

[0006] Preferably, the first connector is a ferromagnetic metal or a magnet, and the second connector is a plastic-coated magnet.

[0007] Preferably, the fragile guard plate is bonded to the dashboard cover plate, and the fragile guard plate is a fragile PC board with grooves on both sides of the board surface.

[0008] Preferably, the rigid cover is an aluminum alloy protective cover.

[0009] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0010] 1. By using a hinged rigid cover, the emergency stop button is protected by both the fragile guard plate and the rigid cover plate. At the same time, the rigid cover plate can also protect the fragile guard plate and prevent it from being accidentally touched.

[0011] 2. Using plastic-coated magnets as the second connector can achieve both magnetic attraction and prevent wear and tear on the connection between the first and second connectors;

[0012] 3. Using damping hinges as hinged connectors allows the rigid cover to be fixed at any angle after being opened, without affecting the breaking operation of the fragile guard plate. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application provides a further detailed description. An embodiment of this application discloses a window structure for an emergency stop button on an autonomous vehicle, including a dashboard cover 1 with a window, and an emergency stop button located inside the dashboard cover 1. The window is covered by a fragile protective plate 2. By breaking the fragile protective plate 2, the operator can directly access the emergency stop button to control the vehicle's emergency stop operation. To prevent accidental activation of the fragile protective plate 2 and subsequent failure of its protection for the emergency stop button, a rigid cover 3 hinged to the outside of the dashboard cover 1 is provided, shielding the fragile protective plate 2. This dual protection of the fragile protective plate 2 and the rigid cover 3 ensures that the emergency stop button will not be accidentally activated. A first connecting member 4 is provided on the side of the rigid cover 3 closest to the dashboard cover 1, and a second connecting member 5, magnetically connected to the first connecting member 4, is provided on the dashboard cover 1 at a position corresponding to the first connecting member 4. The rigid cover plate 3 can swing around the hinge point, allowing it to switch between covering and not covering the fragile shield 2 relative to the window. This ensures that the fragile shield 2 is protected by the rigid cover plate 3 when covered, preventing accidental breakage. Furthermore, if the fragile shield 2 is damaged, the rigid cover plate 3 can be used to temporarily protect the window before replacement.

[0020] Furthermore, the rigid cover plate 3 is hinged to the dashboard cover plate 1 via a damping hinge 6. Both ends of the damping hinge 6 are fixedly connected to the rigid cover plate 3 and the dashboard cover plate 1 using conventional techniques such as adhesive bonding and threaded connections. The damping effect of the damping hinge 6 ensures that the rigid cover plate 3 has a certain degree of fixation after being opened, preventing it from failing to remain open and thus making it inconvenient for the operator to break the fragile protective plate 2.

[0021] Furthermore, the damping hinge 6 and the second connecting member 5, which cooperates with the first connecting member 4, can be positioned at any location around the window on the dashboard cover 1. In this embodiment, to better achieve the opening action of the rigid cover 3, the damping hinge 6 and the first connecting member 4 are respectively connected to the side of the rigid cover 3 near the dashboard cover 1, and the damping hinge 6 and the first connecting member 4 are respectively located on both sides of the surface of the rigid cover 3. The corresponding damping hinge 6 and the second connecting member 5 are respectively connected to the outer edges of the windows opened on both sides of the dashboard cover 1.

[0022] Furthermore, the first connector 4 is a ferromagnetic metal or a magnet, and is fixedly connected to the rigid cover plate 3 using conventional techniques such as bonding. The second connector 5 is a plastic-coated magnet, and is fixedly connected to the dashboard cover plate 1 using conventional techniques such as bonding and threaded connection. The surface of the plastic-coated magnet is coated with a layer of plastic, which can maintain the magnetic attraction of the magnet while preventing direct contact between the magnetic component and the magnet inside the plastic-coated magnet. This effectively reduces wear and increases lifespan, while also acting as a buffer to prevent impact damage to the magnet inside the plastic-coated magnet caused by the first connector 4. Since the first connector 4 is connected to the rigid cover plate 3, using the heavier plastic-coated magnet as the second connector 5 to connect to the dashboard cover plate 1 can reduce the weight of the rigid cover plate 3, which is beneficial to the stability of the damping hinge 6.

[0023] Furthermore, the edges of the fragile protective plate 2 can be connected to the dashboard cover 1 using any existing technology. In this embodiment, the fragile protective plate 2 is bonded to the dashboard cover 1. To enhance the fragility of the fragile protective plate 2, it is a fragile PC board with grooves on both sides of its surface. These grooves are typically located on either opposite side of the surface of the fragile protective plate 2, near the window area. The grooves on both sides of the surface reduce the overall strength of the fragile protective plate 2 at the groove locations, thus enhancing the shear force effect generated by an impact.

[0024] Furthermore, the rigid cover plate 3 can be made of conventional impact-resistant materials. In this embodiment, the rigid cover plate 3 is an aluminum alloy protective cover, which is not only impact-resistant but also corrosion-resistant, significantly improving its service life.

[0025] To further monitor whether the rigid cover 3 has been accidentally overturned or tampered with, thus posing a safety hazard, a thin rope is fixed to the outer side of the engine cover 1 or the second connecting piece 5. A lifting ring is provided on the side of the rigid cover 3 facing the engine cover 1. The rope is passed through the lifting ring and then sealed with lead. When the staff observes that the lead seal has been broken, it can be determined that the rigid cover 3 has been opened, which facilitates timely inspection of all related structures to determine whether there are any overall safety hazards.

[0026] Working principle: The fragile protective plate 2 is adhered to the window opening in the dashboard cover 1, and a rigid cover 3 is hinged to the outside of the dashboard cover 1. A first connector 4 is connected to the side of the rigid cover 3 near the dashboard cover 1, and a second connector 5 is connected to the dashboard cover 1 at the position corresponding to the first connector 4. Flipping the rigid cover 3 causes the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 to magnetically attract each other. By default, the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are magnetically connected, allowing the rigid cover 3 to cover the fragile protective plate 2, thus blocking external impacts. When the emergency stop button needs to be used, flip open the rigid cover 3, use a body part or tool to impact the fragile protective plate 2 until it breaks, and then press the emergency stop button. If the fragile guard plate 2 breaks and cannot be replaced in time, flip the hard cover plate 3 to magnetically connect the first connector 4 and the second connector 5, so that the hard cover plate 3 can act as a temporary protective measure and serve as a temporary protective layer to prevent external impacts from directly contacting the emergency stop button.
