Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a rotating screen assembly and a vehicle having the same. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of intelligent and comfortable vehicles, many vehicles are equipped with displays to provide passengers with video playback or entertainment. Some displays can also serve as human-vehicle interaction interfaces, enabling functions such as controlling music playback, air conditioning settings, and seat adjustments.

[0003] Some displays are designed with adjustable angles to accommodate different passengers' viewing preferences. In these technologies, motors are used to drive the angle adjustment. However, incorporating motors increases manufacturing costs and assembly complexity, and may also present reliability issues over long-term use, such as motor failure or lag, impacting user experience. Furthermore, some users prefer manual angle adjustment, and motor-driven angle adjustment eliminates this enjoyment.

[0004] Therefore, one of the research directions is to improve the convenience of adjusting the screen angle while taking into account the user's experience of manual adjustment. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the first aspect of the present invention aims to provide a rotating screen assembly that integrates a locking function in the closed state and an angle positioning capability during manual flipping. Furthermore, the structure employs a mechanical construction, eliminating the need for complex electronic control components, thus contributing to low manufacturing costs and improved reliability.

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 utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0059] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0060] The following is for reference. Figures 1-13The rotating screen assembly 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0061] The application fields of the rotating screen assembly 100 according to some embodiments of the present utility model are not limited. It can be used in transportation vehicles, such as automobiles, rail transit vehicles, airplanes, etc., and can also be used in scenarios where the rotation adjustment of display devices is required, such as smart homes, electronic devices, and industrial control equipment.

[0062] In the following description of this application, the application of the rotating screen assembly 100 in a vehicle is used as an example. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the implementation schemes of the rotating screen assembly 100 in other scenarios after reading the following description.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the rotating screen assembly 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention includes: a fixing base 10, a damping component 30, a display screen assembly 50, and a locking component 70.

[0064] The damping component 30 is mounted on the fixed base 10 to provide moderate rotational resistance, allowing the display screen assembly 50 to rotate smoothly within a certain angle range and remain stably in any adjustable position. After manually flipping the display screen assembly 50, the user can directly position it at the desired angle without additional operation, achieving flexible multi-angle adjustment to meet the viewing and operation needs in different usage scenarios. At the same time, the damping component 30 also acts as a buffer, improving the smoothness and feel of the rotation process, enhancing the overall stability and reliability of operation, and also satisfying some users' enjoyment of manual adjustment.

[0065] Here, the mounting base 10 serves as the installation foundation and can be installed on the vehicle's armrest, dashboard, center console, or other suitable locations within the vehicle. In some technical solutions, the mounting base 10 can also be integrally molded with other components.

[0066] Specifically, the mounting base 10 includes an upper housing and a lower housing, at least a portion of which together form an installation space, in which a portion of the damping assembly 30 is disposed. This provides protection for the damping assembly 30, improves overall stability and service life, and also helps to enhance the neat appearance of the rotating screen assembly 100.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, the display assembly 50 is connected to the damping assembly 30 and is rotatable relative to the fixed base 10, and the display assembly 50 has a first angular position a.

[0068] Here, the display assembly 50 is connected to the mounting base 10 via the damping component 30 and can rotate relative to the mounting base 10. The display assembly 50 has at least one preset corner position, such as the first corner position a. Preferably, the first corner position a is the storage position of the display assembly 50, that is, the state in which the display is folded up close to the mounting surface or hidden in the mounting base 10, which helps to save space and improve the consistency of appearance.

[0069] To stably fix the display assembly 50 at the first corner position a, the rotating screen assembly 100 also includes a locking assembly 70. The locking assembly 70 is disposed between the display assembly 50 and the mounting base 10, and automatically triggers the locking function when the display assembly 50 rotates to the first corner position a, thereby reliably fixing the display assembly 50 at that position.

[0070] In particular, during vehicle operation, the locking assembly 70 can prevent the display assembly 50 from being accidentally opened due to vibration, bumps or other external forces, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the rotating screen assembly 100.

[0071] The locking assembly 70 is disposed on one of the fixed base 10 or the display assembly 50. When the display assembly 50 is located at the first corner position a, the locking assembly 70 elastically abuts against the other of the fixed base 10 and the display assembly 50, thereby forming a locking force.

[0072] It is worth noting that when the display assembly 50 rotates to the first corner position a, the elastic component in the locking assembly 70 contacts the corresponding mating surface and undergoes compression deformation, thereby generating a stable locking force. This locking force can be static friction or mechanical snap-fit, and the specific choice can be made according to design requirements.

[0073] Furthermore, the locking assembly 70 and the damping assembly 30 can be disposed on adjacent sides or opposite sides of the display assembly 50. Regardless of the arrangement, sufficient locking or holding force can be applied to the display assembly 50 when it is in the first corner position a, thereby achieving stable angle locking.

[0074] Alternatively, the locking assembly 70 may include only one first elastic element 71. Here, the first elastic element 71 may be an elastic block, a rubber pad, a silicone pad, or other elastic material.

[0075] The first elastic element 71 is disposed on one side of the fixing base 10 or the display assembly 50. When the display assembly 50 rotates to the first corner position a, the elastic block contacts the surface of the other component and generates a large static friction force, thereby achieving the fixing function. In another embodiment, the first elastic element 71 can also be disposed on the display assembly 50 and the fixing base 10 respectively. When the display assembly 50 is at the first corner position a, the two elastic blocks abut against each other to form a bidirectional lock, further enhancing the locking effect.

[0076] In summary, by incorporating a damping component 30 and a locking component 70 into the rotating screen assembly 100, the display screen assembly 50 achieves smooth adjustment and reliable positioning during rotation, ensuring angular positioning of the display screen assembly 50 in both the closed and manually flipped states. In the closed state, the locking component 70 securely locks the screen, guaranteeing a firm closure. In the manually flipped state, the damping component 30 allows the display screen assembly 50 to rotate freely during flipping, and when the flipping stops, the display screen assembly 50 stably maintains its current angle, preventing wobbling.

[0077] Specifically, the damping component 30 provides appropriate rotational resistance, allowing the screen to remain stable at multiple angles, improving the feel and ease of use. The locking component 70 elastically locks the display assembly 50 at the first corner position a, preventing accidental opening due to vibration or external force, further enhancing the stability and security of the display assembly 50. Through the synergistic effect of the damping component 30 and the locking component 70, not only is the practicality and reliability of the rotating screen assembly 100 improved, but the user's experience with manual adjustment is also taken into account, meeting diverse usage needs.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, the locking tongue 72 of the locking assembly 70 is a sphere, in which case... Figure 4 The mounting base 10 is provided with a handle position 12. When the display assembly 50 needs to be unlocked at the first corner position a, the user can directly move the display assembly 50 from the handle position 12. The display assembly 50 rotates and squeezes the ball and the first elastic member 71, thus unlocking the display assembly 50. In some solutions, the locking assembly 70 includes a button. In this case, the mounting base 10 does not need to have a handle position; the button can be used to squeeze the first elastic member 71 to unlock the display assembly 50. Both methods make it very convenient to unlock the display assembly 50 at the first corner position a.

[0079] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the locking assembly 70 further includes a locking tongue 72. The first elastic element 71 is a spring, one end of which is connected to one of the fixing base 10 and the display assembly 50, and the other end of which is connected to the locking tongue 72 to push the locking tongue 72 toward the other of the fixing base 10 and the display assembly 50.

[0080] The locking tongue 72 is used to engage with either the mounting base 10 or the display assembly 50.

[0081] Combination Figure 3 In some specific embodiments, one end of the spring is connected to the fixing seat 10, and the other end of the spring is connected to the locking tongue 72. When the display assembly 50 rotates to the first angle position a, the locking tongue 72 abuts against the display assembly 50 to limit the relative rotation of the display assembly 50 and realize the function of fixing the angle of the display assembly 50.

[0082] Of course, in some optional embodiments, the fixing base 10 or the display assembly 50 is provided with a positioning groove 54 or a limiting structure, etc. The positioning groove 54 or limiting structure is adapted to the locking tongue 72. After the display assembly 50 is rotated into position, the locking tongue 72 is engaged in the positioning groove 54 or limiting structure under the action of the spring, forming a mechanical lock, thereby preventing the display from shifting due to external force or vibration, and achieving the use requirement of fixed angle.

[0083] Here, the first elastic element 71 is a spring. Specifically, under the spring's force, the locking tongue 72 is continuously pushed and moved towards the other of the fixing base 10 and the display screen assembly 50, ensuring that it can continuously and securely achieve the locking function. The spring has a simple structure, low cost, and is highly responsive and reliable, automatically returning to the locked state, improving operational convenience.

[0084] In some technical solutions, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The locking assembly 70 and the damping assembly 30 are located on opposite sides of the display assembly 50. The locking assembly 70 is mounted on the fixed base 10, and the extension and retraction direction of the spring is perpendicular to the rotation axis L of the display assembly 50.

[0085] Specifically, the locking assembly 70 and the damping assembly 30 are positioned on opposite sides so that they do not interfere with each other. This structure is more reasonable and easier to install.

[0086] The spring's extension and retraction direction is perpendicular to the rotation axis L of the display assembly 50, making the spring laterally arranged and providing a lateral force to the locking tongue 72. During vehicle operation, the display assembly 50 is often subjected to lateral vibrations, and the lateral locking force on the locking tongue 72 can resist these external forces, allowing the display assembly 50 to remain stable when subjected to external vibrations or minor impacts, reducing the possibility of accidental unlocking.

[0087] When the screen rotates to the first corner position a, the locking tongue 72 automatically engages with the positioning groove 54 under the action of the spring, thus fixing it in place. The direction of extension and retraction of this spring is perpendicular to the axis of screen rotation—you can imagine the spring moving horizontally, not pressing up and down.

[0088] Furthermore, the locking tongue 72 can be a sphere or a rod.

[0089] In some such Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the locking tongue 72 is a sphere. The contact between the spherical locking tongue 72 and the abutment surface is a point contact or a small-area contact, resulting in low frictional resistance. This makes the screen move more smoothly when leaving / entering the first corner position a, without any stuttering sensation, thus improving the smoothness of operation.

[0090] In some such Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the locking tongue 72 is a rod. The rod-shaped locking tongue 72 provides stronger stability after positioning. Specifically, the rod-shaped locking tongue 72 cooperates with the positioning groove 54 to provide higher stability. Optionally, the rod can be constructed in various shapes according to different needs. For example, cylindrical, prismatic, etc., to be used with positioning grooves 54 of different shapes.

[0091] Further optional, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 10 or display screen assembly 50 equipped with the locking assembly 70 also has a guide hole 11. The latch 72 has an unlocking guide surface 721, and the guide hole 11 is positioned opposite the unlocking guide surface 721. The locking assembly 70 also includes an unlocking button 73 that engages within the guide hole 11. One end of the unlocking button 73 abuts against the unlocking guide surface 721, and the unlocking button 73 is slidable on the unlocking guide surface 721. When the locking assembly 70 is mounted on the mounting base 10, the unlocking guide surface 721 forms an inclined surface extending away from the unlocking button 73 in the direction towards the display screen assembly 50. When the locking assembly 70 is mounted on the display screen assembly 50, the unlocking guide surface 721 forms an inclined surface extending away from the unlocking button 73 in the direction towards the mounting base 10.

[0092] In this application, users can either manually press the button to unlock, or rely on the card lock component 70 to automatically lock when rotating the screen, making it more convenient to use.

[0093] Specifically, when the user presses the unlock button 73, one end of the button slides relative to the unlock guide surface on the bolt 72, pushing the bolt 72 inward. During this process, the bolt 72 overcomes the elastic force and retracts, disengaging from the contact surface and completing the unlocking process.

[0094] When the user releases the unlock button 73, the bolt 72 is pushed forward by the elastic force, extending out of the guide hole 11 and returning to its initial position, ready for the next locking. This automatic reset structure allows the entire locking assembly 70 to enter the next locking state at any time without additional operation, improving the continuity and convenience of use.

[0095] When the display assembly 50 rotates from its current angle to the first corner position a, the abutment surface on the display assembly 50 gradually approaches and presses against the latch 72. At this time, under pressure, the unlocking guide surface 721 on the latch 72 retracts along the guide hole 11, achieving automatic unlocking. Once the screen continues to rotate and passes through this corner position, the latch 72 will pop out again under the action of the spring and accurately abut against the abutment surface, completing the locking.

[0096] According to some alternative embodiments, in combination Figures 5-7 The damping assembly 30 includes a first connecting plate 31, a second connecting plate 32, and a damping shaft. The first connecting plate 31 is connected to the fixed base 10. The second connecting plate 32 is connected to the display assembly 50. The damping shaft connects the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32.

[0097] In the above technical solution, when the user adjusts the angle of the display assembly 50, the display assembly 50 drives the second connecting plate 32 to rotate around the damping axis, while the first connecting plate 31 remains relatively stationary. The damping axis, as the connecting component between the two, provides support and generates appropriate rotational resistance through its internal structure, ensuring that the required angle of the display assembly 50 remains stable and does not slip due to gravity. This structure enables the manual flipping function of the display assembly 50.

[0098] In some alternative embodiments, combined with Figures 6-8 The second connecting plate 32 is provided with a positioning hole 322 and a first connecting hole 323. The display assembly 50 is provided with a positioning post 51 and a second connecting hole 52, with the positioning post 51 inserted into the positioning hole 322. The display assembly 50 also includes a threaded connector that mates with the first connecting hole 323 and the second connecting hole 52.

[0099] During assembly, the positioning pin 51 is inserted into the positioning hole 322 to achieve initial positioning between the second connecting plate 32 and the display screen assembly 50, ensuring that the two are accurately positioned and do not shift during installation. Subsequently, threaded connectors (such as screws) are passed through the first connecting hole 323 and the second connecting hole 52 in sequence and tightened to complete the fixed connection.

[0100] This connection structure improves assembly efficiency and enhances the overall stability and reliability of the connection. The cooperation between the positioning post 51 and the positioning hole 322 effectively prevents misalignment of the display assembly 50 during installation or use, improving the reliability of the display assembly 50. At the same time, the use of threaded connectors ensures sufficient connection strength between the second connecting plate 32 and the display assembly 50, enabling it to withstand repeated stress during rotation, thereby extending its service life.

[0101] Specifically, the damping assembly 30 includes at least two dampers 34, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the rotation axis L of the display assembly 50. Each damper 34 includes a first connecting plate 31, a second connecting plate 32, and a damping shaft. By setting multiple dampers 34, the stability during rotation can be effectively improved, making the force on the display assembly 50 more uniform during rotation. At the same time, it is beneficial to stabilize the display assembly 50 in the required position and avoid skew or swaying problems caused by single-point support.

[0102] In each damper 34, the second connecting plate 32 has at least two first connecting holes 323, which are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis L of the display assembly 50, and the positioning hole 322 is located between two adjacent first connecting holes 323.

[0103] The perforated design makes the connection between the second connecting plate 32 and the display assembly 50 more secure, and also helps to disperse the stress on the threaded connector, preventing excessive local stress from causing the parts to deform or loosen.

[0104] Furthermore, the positioning hole 322 is set between two adjacent first connecting holes 323, so that after the positioning post 51 is inserted into the positioning hole 322, it can play a good centering and positioning role for the second connecting plate 32, thereby ensuring that it maintains an accurate relative position with the display screen assembly 50 during assembly, improving assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy.

[0105] Furthermore, since the positioning hole 322 is located between multiple connecting holes, it can enhance the symmetry and balance of the overall structure and improve the stability during rotation.

[0106] Specifically, one of the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 is provided with a first rotation limiting protrusion 321, and the other is provided with a first rotation limiting groove 311. The first rotation limiting protrusion 321 and the first rotation limiting groove 311 cooperate to limit the rotation angle range of the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32.

[0107] In other words, during rotation, when the first limiting rotation protrusion 321 moves to the boundary position of the first limiting rotation groove 311, it will be blocked, thereby limiting further rotation and controlling the rotation angle. This provides a mechanical limit for the damping component 30 itself, preventing the display component 50 from exceeding the preset angle during rotation, avoiding damage or loosening of connections due to excessive rotation, and improving the safety and reliability of the display component 50.

[0108] Here, the rotation limit structure 83 achieves its function entirely through mechanical cooperation, without the need for additional electronic sensors or other complex components. It has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to manufacture and assemble. At the same time, it has high durability and stability, and has a certain degree of practicality and economy.

[0109] It is worth noting that the dimensions of the first rotation groove 311 and / or the first rotation protrusion 321 can be adapted and adjusted according to the required rotation angle of the display assembly. This application does not impose specific limitations on the dimensions of the first rotation groove 311 and the first rotation protrusion 321.

[0110] According to some embodiments of the rotating screen assembly 100, the damping component 30 includes: two dampers 34, which are coaxially arranged, each damper 34 including a first shaft portion 341 and a second shaft portion 342, the first shaft portion 341 being connected to the display screen assembly 50; the rotating screen assembly 100 also includes: a shaft bracket 90 connected to the fixed base 10, the two dampers 34 being mounted and fixed at both ends of the shaft bracket 90, and the second shaft portion 342 of each damper 34 being connected to the shaft bracket 90.

[0111] In the above technical solution, firstly, by using two symmetrical and coaxially arranged dampers 34, the force on both sides during rotation can be more uniform, thereby improving the rotational stability.

[0112] Secondly, since the second shaft portion 342 of each damper 34 is fixedly connected to the shaft bracket 90, and the shaft bracket 90 itself is mounted on the fixed seat 10, the entire damping assembly 30 forms a stable and reliable support structure. This structure not only enhances the overall rigidity but also improves the stability of rotational movements, ensuring that the display assembly 50 maintains a good posture at the required angle without any deviation.

[0113] In some further alternative embodiments, the damper 34 may be a gasket damper.

[0114] In some further optional embodiments, one of the bearing 90 and the display assembly 50 is provided with a second rotation limiting protrusion 92 and the other is provided with a second rotation limiting groove (not shown). The second rotation limiting protrusion 92 and the second rotation limiting groove cooperate to limit the rotation angle range of the display assembly 50.

[0115] In the above technical solution, by setting the second limiting bracket 92 and the second limiting slot to limit each other, the rotation angle of the display assembly 50 can be controlled without adding extra parts or electronic components. For example, the rotation angle can be limited to between 0° and 50°, or an angle range can be set according to product requirements to help users identify the maximum flip position and avoid over-rotation of the display assembly 50.

[0116] In some such Figure 9 In the embodiment shown, the second rotation limiting protrusion 92 is disposed on the shaft bracket 90, and the second rotation limiting groove is located on the display assembly 50.

[0117] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, at least one damper 34 has a first hollow hole 343, and the shaft bracket 90 has a corresponding second hollow hole 91. The wiring harness 53 of the display assembly extends through the first hollow hole 343 and the second hollow hole 91.

[0118] By providing corresponding hollow holes on the damper 34 and the shaft bracket 90, a concealed wiring channel is provided for the wiring harness 53 of the display assembly. This avoids exposing the wiring harness 53, improving aesthetic consistency and safety. At the same time, this layout is reasonable and will not interfere with the rotation of the display assembly 50, ensuring smooth and flexible rotation.

[0119] In some specific embodiments, the first hollow hole 343 and the second hollow hole 91 are disposed on the rotation axis of the display assembly 50. This keeps the wiring harness 53 in the rotation center area and prevents it from being excessively stretched or twisted due to changes in the angle of the display assembly, thereby preventing the wiring harness 53 from breaking and causing poor contact, and improving the reliability and lifespan of the product.

[0120] A rotating screen assembly 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention, see also... Figure 10 The display assembly 50 has a second angular position b. Here, the second angular position b means that the display assembly 50 is rotated and opened to a preset angle, so that a certain gap is formed between the display assembly 50 and the fixing base 10. In this position, the user can put his hand into the gap and flip the display assembly 50 to adjust it to the desired position.

[0121] Combination Figure 1 , Figures 11-13 The rotating screen assembly 100 also includes an elastic rotation support assembly 80. The elastic rotation support assembly 80 includes a support member 81, a support body 82, a rotation limiting structure 83, and a second elastic member 84. The support member 81 is mounted on the fixed base 10, and the support member 81 and the damping assembly 30 are located on the same side of the display screen assembly 50. The support body 82 is rotatably connected to the support member 81 and is located on one side of the display screen assembly 50. When the display screen assembly 50 is at a first corner position a, the support body 82 is at a first limiting angle; when the display screen assembly 50 is at a second corner position b, the support body 82 is at a second limiting angle. The rotation limiting structure 83 is located between the support member 81 and the support body 82 to lock the support body 82 when it reaches the second limiting angle. The second elastic member 84 connects the support member 81 and the support body 82 to push the support body 82 to rotate from the first limiting angle to the second limiting angle.

[0122] In the above technical solution, the support body 82 is rotatably connected to the support member 81, and the second elastic member 84 is disposed between the support member 81 and the support body 82, providing an upward elastic support force for the support body 82. When the display assembly 50 rotates downward or is subjected to external force, the support body 82 will compress the second elastic member 84 downward under pressure; when the external force is removed, the support body 82 will automatically rebound under the action of the second elastic member 84, restoring its supporting state for the display assembly 50.

[0123] Specifically, when the display assembly 50 is at the first corner position a (e.g., the display assembly 50 is in a retracted state), the support 82 is located at the first limiting angle on its rotation path. At this time, the angle between the support 82 and the bottom wall of the fixing base 10 is 0°. When the display assembly 50 rotates to the second corner position b (e.g., the display assembly 50 is opened to a certain angle), the support 82 also rotates accordingly to the second limiting angle on its path. At this time, an angle is formed between the support 82 and the bottom wall of the fixing base 10. Of course, this angle can be adjusted according to actual structural requirements, for example, set to any angle between 5° and 30° to adapt to display assemblies 50 of different sizes and weights.

[0124] Optionally, the rotation limiting structure 83 includes a limiting groove 831 and a hook 832. The limiting groove 831 is formed on the support member 81, and the hook 832 is located at one end of the support body 82. The limiting groove 831 includes an inclined surface and a bottom wall. The second elastic member 84 is a torsion spring, which includes a first end abutting against the bottom of the support body 82 and a second end abutting against the inclined surface. The second end is slidable on the inclined surface as the support body 82 rotates. When the display assembly 50 rotates to the second corner position b, the second end of the torsion spring abuts against the bottom wall of the groove, thereby limiting and fixing the support body 82.

[0125] In some alternative embodiments, the support body 82 is a support plate, and the second elastic element 84 is a torsion spring.

[0126] A torsion spring is installed on the side of the support plate away from the display assembly 50. The torsion spring applies a continuous elastic force to the support plate through its own torsional deformation. Under the action of this force, the support plate is pressed tightly against the bottom of the display assembly 50, thus providing support.

[0127] Because the support plate has a large contact area, it can transmit the elastic force provided by the torsion spring to the surface of the display assembly 50 more evenly, avoiding damage that may be caused by localized force concentration and improving the stability of the display assembly 50 during rotation adjustment.

[0128] Alternatively, the mounting base 10 is a fixed frame, and the display assembly 50 is located within the fixed frame at the first corner position a.

[0129] Here, the fixing frame is set around part or all of the peripheral area of ​​the display assembly 50, serving a positioning and protection function. When the display assembly 50 is in the first corner position a, such as the retracted state or the initial closed angle, the display assembly 50 is wholly or partially accommodated in the internal space of the fixing frame, forming an embedded or semi-embedded configuration.

[0130] By setting a fixed frame, the exposed display component 50 can be reduced, making the overall appearance of the machine cleaner and more uniform.

[0131] A vehicle according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a rotating screen assembly 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention.

[0132] It is worth noting that the specific type of vehicle referred to in this application is not limited. For example, the vehicle can be a gasoline-powered vehicle, a natural gas-powered vehicle, or a new energy vehicle. New energy vehicles can be pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, solar-powered electric vehicles, gas fuel vehicles (such as hydrogen engine vehicles), or biofuel vehicles (such as vehicles powered by ethanol, biodiesel, etc.). In the vehicle according to this utility model embodiment, the improved rotating screen assembly 100 facilitates angle adjustment of the display screen component 50 within the vehicle. Users can rotate the screen to a suitable position according to actual usage needs, thereby improving viewing convenience and operational comfort.

[0133] In some embodiments, the vehicle has a center console, and the mounting bracket 10 is mounted on the center console. Alternatively, the vehicle has an armrest, and the mounting bracket 10 is mounted on the armrest.

[0134] In some technical solutions, the mounting bracket 10 for the rotating screen assembly 100 on the center console allows the display screen component 50 to be positioned within the visual area of ​​the driver and passenger seats, facilitating the centralized display and operation of navigation, entertainment, vehicle control, and other information. Users can easily adjust the display component with a simple reach, reducing manufacturing costs while improving ease of use.

[0135] In some other technical solutions, installing a mounting bracket 10 on the armrest is more suitable for middle and rear passengers to use the display screen assembly 50. For example, middle and rear passengers can manually operate the display screen assembly 50, improving their riding experience.

[0136] In other embodiments, the vehicle has a center console, and the mounting base 10 is integrally formed on the center console. Or the vehicle has an armrest, and the mounting base 10 is integrally formed on the armrest.

[0137] By integrating the mounting bracket 10 with the center console components or integrating the mounting bracket 10 with the armrest, traditional assembly methods such as screw connections and clip fasteners are eliminated, reducing the possibility of loose connections and ensuring that the rotating screen assembly 100 remains stable and reliable during vehicle operation. This also simplifies the assembly process and improves spatial consistency.
