Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle-mounted device technology, and in particular to a secondary instrument assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As a functional accessory for automobiles, the in-car tea table combines traditional tea culture with modern technology. Through integrated design, it embeds functions such as water dispensing, heating, and water storage necessary for tea brewing into the vehicle's interior space, providing drivers and passengers with the convenience of drinking tea while traveling. It also serves as an important platform for in-car business and social interaction.

[0003] Existing in-vehicle water dispensers typically include a hot water supply device and a faucet connected to it. When in use, cold water is heated by the hot water supply device, and when it becomes hot water, it carries water vapor (including water vapor and steam) with it through the faucet. This can easily lead to steam overflow and hot water splashing, increasing the risk of fogging of the glass and burns to the user. At the same time, the presence of water vapor can also cause pressure buildup inside the hot water supply device, resulting in uneven water flow and affecting the user's comfort when using hot water, thus hindering the improvement of the user's overall driving experience. Utility Model Content

When the tea table drive mechanism drives the tea table to descend to a preset position, the cover plate drive mechanism drives the cover plate to move to the top of the secondary instrument housing and seal the secondary instrument housing. When the cover plate drive mechanism drives the cover plate to be stored inside the secondary instrument housing, the tea table drive mechanism drives the tea table to rise to the usage position.

[0017] Furthermore, the auxiliary instrument housing is provided with a slide rail, and the cover plate has a sliding part that is slidably disposed in the slide rail; under the drive of the cover plate driving mechanism, the cover plate is guided by the slide rail and can be completely housed in one side of the auxiliary instrument housing.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0022] (1) The auxiliary instrument assembly described in this utility model can meet the user's needs for hot water and tea by setting up a tea table and a hot water supply device. In addition, the water vapor separation mechanism can separate at least part of the gaseous water generated in the hot water supply device, avoiding steam overflow, hot water splashing, and internal air pressure accumulation, which can lead to problems such as glass fogging, user burns, and unsmooth output. This can improve the user's driving safety, hot water use safety, and cabin comfort, thereby improving the user's overall driving experience.

[0023] (2) The hot water supply device includes a water supply pipeline, a water storage section, a heating section, a water outlet section and a water supply pump, which can facilitate the heating and supply of hot water. It has a simple structure and is easy to arrange.

[0024] (3) The water-gas separation unit includes a water-gas separation pipeline and a water-gas separation valve, which facilitates the separation of gaseous water and liquid water in the outlet pipe, thereby facilitating the collection of gaseous water. At the same time, the structure is simple and the parts are easy to maintain and replace.

[0025] (4) By setting up a return pump, the gaseous water separated in the water-gas separation pipeline can be pumped back to the water storage section, thereby preventing problems such as user burns, glass fogging and water flow obstruction caused by steam overflow, hot water splashing, and gas pressure accumulation inside the pipeline.

[0026] (5) The reflux pump is connected to the heating unit via a bypass, which not only facilitates the transportation of gaseous water but also the transportation of water from the heating unit and the outlet. Furthermore, it prevents residual water in the pipeline, thus preventing bacterial growth and ensuring safe drinking water, and also avoids blockages caused by freezing in cold weather, which would affect subsequent use. Simultaneously, by transporting both water and gaseous water to the storage unit, waste is avoided, and water is saved.

[0027] (6) By incorporating anti-sloshing components in the water storage section, the sloshing of water in the water storage section can be reduced, thereby minimizing the noise caused by water sloshing and improving the overall vehicle passenger experience. At the same time, the combination of quick-connect structure and one-way valve makes it convenient for users to disassemble and install the water supply line, and prevents water from flowing out of the water storage section during disassembly and assembly.

[0028] (7) A drain trough and a wastewater collection section are provided, and the drain trough is connected to the wastewater collection section through a wastewater pipeline, which facilitates the collection, filtration and discharge of wastewater generated during the tea brewing process.

[0029] (8) The teaware placement slot facilitates the placement of teaware. At the same time, the movable drain tray makes it easy to disassemble and clean up tea dregs and other waste in the drain tray.

[0030] (9) At least the portion forming the teaware placement slot is made of one of rubber, silicone, or PVC, which gives it a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity, allowing the teaware to be partially embedded in the slot under its own weight, preventing it from shaking during travel, and ensuring easy access to the teaware without any longitudinal resistance. Furthermore, the bottom of the teaware placement slot is connected to a drain trough, facilitating the collection and filtration of wastewater spilled from the teaware.

[0031] (10) The tea table is height-adjustable and is equipped with a cover driven by a cover drive mechanism. When the cover is opened, the tea table can be raised to a position suitable for the user. After the tea table is lowered into the sub-instrument housing, the cover can cover and hide the tea table to improve the safety of using the tea table during driving, make reasonable use of the vehicle interior space, and allow the tea table to better integrate into the cabin environment, thereby enhancing the technological and ceremonial feel of the sub-instrument assembly.

[0032] (11) The use of the slide and the sliding part together can help improve the smoothness of the cover plate movement.

[0033] (12) The cover plate is configured to include a first cover plate and a second cover plate, and based on the cooperation of the first sliding assembly, the second sliding assembly, the third sliding assembly, the fourth sliding assembly and the connecting rod, as well as the first sub-slide, the second sub-slide and the third sub-slide, it is convenient to completely house the cover plate in the sub-instrument housing.

[0034] (13) The cover plate is driven by a combination of cables and pulleys. This not only achieves the purpose of driving the cover plate smoothly, but also makes the structure simpler, occupies less space, and has a lower cost.

[0035] (14) A sterilization component is provided so that the tea table and the tea utensils on it can be sterilized after each use to prevent bacterial growth.

[0036] This utility model also proposes a vehicle in which an auxiliary instrument assembly as described above is provided.

[0078] To make the technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0079] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0080] Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "outer" appear, indicating orientation or positional relationship, they are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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 utility model. In addition, if terms such as "first" or "second" appear, they are also used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0081] Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "connector" 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 in light of the specific circumstances.

[0082] In this utility model, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example, which is included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0083] The present invention will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0084] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a secondary instrument assembly that facilitates meeting users' hot water usage needs and enhances the driving experience.

[0085] In the prior art, the vehicle-mounted tea table 200 usually includes a hot water supply device and a faucet connected to the hot water supply device. When in use, cold water is heated into hot water by the hot water supply device, and it will carry gaseous water along with it and be output through the faucet. This can easily lead to steam overflow, hot water splashing, etc., increasing the risk of glass fogging and user burns. At the same time, the presence of gaseous water can also easily cause air pressure to accumulate inside the hot water supply device, resulting in poor water flow and affecting the user's hot water experience.

[0086] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the auxiliary instrument assembly in this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the overall design includes a secondary instrument housing 100, a tea table 200, and a hot water supply device disposed within the secondary instrument housing 100. The hot water supply device supplies heated hot water and includes a water vapor separation mechanism capable of at least partially separating the gaseous water generated within the hot water supply device.

[0087] Therefore, by combining the tea table 200 with the hot water supply device, the user's needs for hot water and tea brewing can be met. The hot water supply device is equipped with a water vapor separation mechanism, which can separate the gaseous water generated in the hot water supply device to avoid steam overflow, hot water splashing, and air stagnation inside the device, which could lead to problems such as glass fogging, user burns, and uneven output. This can help improve the user's driving safety and driving experience.

[0088] Based on the above general introduction, specifically, in some exemplary embodiments, the secondary instrument housing 100 of this embodiment preferably refers to the portion of the secondary instrument housing 100 that is assembled between the front and rear seats of the vehicle and located in the central tunnel area, so as to facilitate rear passengers to perform operations such as hot water preparation and tea making.

[0089] It should be noted that the direction-related descriptions in this embodiment are merely illustrative examples. In actual implementation, the direction descriptions in this embodiment will vary depending on the orientation of the auxiliary instrument assembly; that is, the directions in this embodiment refer to a relative coordinate system based on the auxiliary instrument assembly.

[0090] Combination Figures 3 to 9 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the hot water supply device includes a water storage section 301, a heating section 302, and a water outlet section 303 connected by a water supply pipe 305, and a water supply pump 304 provided in the water supply pipe 305. Furthermore, the water outlet section 303 is provided on the tea table 200, and the water vapor separation mechanism includes a water vapor separation unit provided in the water outlet section 303, which is used to separate gaseous water located in the water outlet section 303.

[0091] It is understandable that the hot water supply device includes a water supply pipeline 305, a water storage section 301, a heating section 302, a water outlet section 303, and a water supply pump 304, which can facilitate the heating, production, and supply of hot water. It has a simple structure and is easy to arrange. At the same time, the water vapor separation unit in the water outlet section 303 can facilitate the separation and subsequent collection of gaseous water entering the water outlet section 303.

[0092] It should be mentioned that the water supply pump 304 is a type of pump used to lift and transport water (such as water in a water tank) to a target location. It converts mechanical energy into fluid potential energy to meet the water supply needs of different scenarios. In this embodiment, the water supply pump 304 can be a miniature centrifugal pump or a miniature diaphragm pump well known to those skilled in the art to meet design requirements such as low flow rate, low head, low noise, and safety and energy saving.

[0093] The heating unit 302 in this embodiment can be an instant hot water generating mechanism well known to those skilled in the art, such as an instant boiler. An instant boiler is an instant heating device that requires no prior water storage and provides instant hot water immediately; it is widely used in small household appliances such as tea makers, water dispensers, and coffee machines. The core advantage of an instant boiler lies in overcoming the pain points of "waiting" and "repeated heating" inherent in traditional storage-type heating systems, achieving the effect of heating water as soon as it flows through through efficient heating technology.

[0094] Furthermore, instant boilers typically have a power output of around 1350W-2200W and can achieve precise temperature control, with an accuracy of ±1-2℃. Therefore, using an instant boiler allows for arbitrary temperature adjustment, precise temperature control, and rapid hot water output. Compared to existing technologies that use heating films for hot water production, it is advantageous for producing hot water at different temperatures to meet the brewing temperature requirements of different teas (such as 95-100℃ hot water for brewing Pu'er tea and no more than 85℃ hot water for brewing green tea), thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0095] In specific implementations, in some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the water outlet 303 in this embodiment includes a water outlet pipe 3032 that communicates with the heating unit 302. The water-gas separation unit includes a water-gas separation pipeline 306 that communicates with the water outlet pipe 3032, and a water-gas separation valve disposed in the water-gas separation pipeline 306. The water-gas separation valve is used to separate the gaseous water and liquid water entering the water-gas separation pipeline 306 and output the gaseous water.

[0096] A water-vapor separator is a device used to separate gas and liquid in a fluid medium. It separates the gas mixed in the liquid through physical or mechanical principles, ensuring the purity of the fluid in the system and preventing the gas from affecting equipment operation. Therefore, in this embodiment, the water-vapor separation unit includes a water-vapor separation pipeline 306 and a water-vapor separation valve. This facilitates the separation of gaseous and liquid water in the outlet pipe 3032, thereby facilitating the collection of gaseous water. Furthermore, it features a simple structure and convenient component maintenance and replacement.

[0097] Furthermore, in some exemplary embodiments, the water-gas separation pipeline 306 is connected to the water storage section 301, and a return pump 308 is provided in the water-gas separation pipeline 306. The return pump 308 is used to pump the separated gaseous water back to the pipeline, and the gaseous water is cooled in the pipeline and transported to the water storage section 301.

[0098] This configuration allows the return pump 308 to pump the gaseous water separated in the water-gas separation pipe 306 back to the water storage section 301, thereby preventing problems such as scalding of users, fogging of glass, and obstructed water flow caused by steam overflow, hot water splashing, and gas pressure accumulation inside the pipe. At the same time, it also achieves the goal of saving water.

[0099] In this embodiment, in some exemplary implementations, the return pump 308 is connected in a bypass manner to the heating unit 302, and the return pump 308 is capable of drawing water from the heating unit 302 and the water outlet 303 and returning it to the water storage unit 301.

[0100] By bypassing the heating unit 302 with the return pump 308, it is possible to not only pump back the gaseous water, but also to pump back the water from the heating unit 302 and the outlet 303. Furthermore, it prevents residual water in the pipes, thus preventing bacterial growth and ensuring safe drinking water, and also prevents blockages caused by freezing in cold weather, which could affect subsequent use. Simultaneously, by delivering both water and gaseous water to the storage unit 301, waste is avoided, and water is conserved.

[0101] It is worth mentioning that the reflux pump 308 is a type of pump used to return part or all of the fluid (liquid or gas) output from the system to the input end. By adjusting the reflux flow rate, the system pressure, flow rate or temperature can be controlled to achieve stable operation of the process.

[0102] The reflux pump 308 in this embodiment can specifically be a temperature-resistant centrifugal pump or peristaltic pump well known to those skilled in the art, to meet requirements such as hot water resistance, stable flow rate, and low noise. Therefore, based on the inclusion of the reflux pump 308 in this embodiment, compared to existing solutions without it, it facilitates the return and recovery of residual water in the water supply pipeline 305 and gaseous water in the water-air separation pipeline 306, better preventing problems such as bacterial growth due to residual water and blockage due to freezing in cold seasons. Furthermore, in some exemplary embodiments, the heating unit 302 is connected to the water storage unit 301 via the water supply pipeline 305, and the end of the heating unit 302 furthest from the water storage unit 301 is connected to the outlet pipe 3032. The return pump 308 is connected to the water storage section 301 through the return pipeline, and the end of the return pump 308 away from the water storage section 301 is connected to the water outlet pipe 3032 through the water-air separation pipeline 306. This constitutes the above-mentioned structure in which the return pump 308 is connected to the heating section 302 by a bypass.

[0103] Meanwhile, in some exemplary embodiments, the return pump 308 of this embodiment can be directly connected to the heating unit 302. This allows the water remaining in the heating unit 302 and the water outlet 303 to be transported and returned to the water storage unit 301 via the return pump 308. Furthermore, if necessary, a control valve is provided between the return pump 308 and the heating unit 302 to prevent water from flowing back from the return pump 308 during water supply.

[0104] In addition, combined Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the water storage section 301 is equipped with a wave-damping component to reduce the sloshing of water in the water storage section 301. Therefore, by providing a wave-damping component in the water storage section 301, compared to existing water tank solutions, it is beneficial to reduce the sloshing of water in the water storage section 301, thereby reducing the noise impact caused by water sloshing and improving the overall vehicle passenger experience.

[0105] In specific implementations, in some exemplary embodiments, the water storage unit 301 of this embodiment includes a water storage tank 3011, a water inlet provided on the water storage tank 3011, and a plug 3014 provided on the water storage tank 3011 for sealing the water inlet. When water needs to be added, the plug 3014 is opened, and clean water can be injected into the water storage tank 3011 through the water inlet.

[0106] Meanwhile, the wave-dissipating component of this embodiment includes multiple wave-damping baffles 3012 disposed in the water storage tank 3011 to prevent water from sloshing within the water storage tank 3011. Specifically, there are two wave-damping baffles 3012, which are visually arranged in a figure-eight shape to facilitate a relatively superior wave-dissipating effect.

[0107] In this embodiment, in some exemplary implementations, the water supply pipeline 305 is connected to the water storage section 301 via a quick-connect structure 3013, and the quick-connect structure 3013 is provided with a one-way valve, which is configured to automatically block the water flow to the water storage section 301 when the quick-connect structure 3013 is disconnected.

[0108] The main advantage of this design is that the quick-connect structure 3013, in conjunction with the one-way valve, facilitates the user's disassembly and assembly of the water supply pipe 305, and prevents water leakage from the water storage unit 301 during disassembly and assembly. In some exemplary embodiments, the quick-connect structure 3013 may be a quick-connect connector, including a quick-connect female connector on the side wall of the water storage tank 3011 and a quick-connect male connector on the water supply pipe 305. The quick-connect female connector and the quick-connect male connector are connected to achieve the connection between the water supply pipe 305 and the water storage unit 301.

[0109] In this embodiment, the check valve can be a pressure-sensitive check valve built into the quick-connect fitting. When a separation signal between the water supply line 305 and the quick-connect fitting is detected, the pressure-sensitive check valve closes within 0.5 seconds. That is, it is configured to automatically block the water flow in the water storage section 301 when the quick-connect fitting 312 is disconnected.

[0110] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the water outlet 303 in this embodiment includes a water outlet housing 3031 provided on the tea table 200. The water outlet housing 3031 is used to support and hold the water outlet pipe 3032, part of the water supply pipe 305, and part of the water-air separation pipe 306.

[0111] Furthermore, in some exemplary embodiments, the water outlet 303 of this embodiment is rotatably mounted on the tea table 200 to facilitate the user's access to hot water. Specifically, the water outlet housing 3031 is rotatably mounted on the tea table 200, and a driven gear 311 is provided at the bottom of the water outlet housing 3031. A housing drive unit 310 is provided on the tea table 200, and a drive gear 3101 is provided on the power output shaft of the housing drive unit 310. The drive gear 3101 is meshed with the driven gear 311, thereby driving the drive gear 3101 to rotate through the housing drive unit 310, which in turn drives the driven gear 311 to rotate the water outlet housing 3031.

[0112] In addition, combined Figure 6 , Figures 14 to 17 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the tea table 200 is provided with a drain trough 2021, and the auxiliary instrument housing 100 is provided with a wastewater collection section 307. The drain trough 2021 is connected to the wastewater collection section 307 via a wastewater pipe 3071. It can be understood that by providing the drain trough 2021 and the wastewater collection section 307, and by connecting the drain trough 2021 to the wastewater collection section 307 via the wastewater pipe 3071, it is convenient to collect, filter, and discharge the wastewater generated during the tea brewing process.

[0113] In specific implementation, the wastewater collection unit 307 of this embodiment can be a wastewater tank. The wastewater tank and the wastewater pipeline 3071 can also be connected by the above-mentioned quick-connect structure 3013. If necessary, the wastewater tank can also be equipped with a wave-dissipating component, such as that in the water storage tank 3011, to prevent the wastewater from sloshing.

[0114] In some exemplary embodiments, the outer wall of the wastewater collection section 307 is provided with a guide buckle, and the inner wall of the corresponding wastewater collection section 307 of the auxiliary instrument housing 100 is provided with a guide groove. The wastewater collection section 307 and the auxiliary instrument housing 100 are fixed by insertion and removal through the cooperation of the guide buckle and the guide groove. In this way, it is convenient to connect the wastewater collection section 307 and the auxiliary instrument housing 100 by insertion, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the wastewater collection container 307, and thus facilitate the cleaning of wastewater in the wastewater collection section 307.

[0115] Similarly, the water storage tank 3011 and the auxiliary instrument housing 100 can also be connected by the above-mentioned guide buckle and guide groove insertion and snap-fit, so as to realize the insertion connection between the water storage tank 3011 and the auxiliary instrument housing 100, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the water storage tank 3011, and thus facilitates the replenishment of water to the water storage tank 3011.

[0116] In some exemplary embodiments, the tea table 200 of this embodiment is provided with a tea seat 202. A drain trough 2021 is provided on the tea seat 202, and the tea seat 202 is provided with a tea utensil placement slot 2022 and a movable drain tray 2023, which is used to cover the drain trough 2021. Here, by providing the tea utensil placement slot 2022, it is convenient to place the tea utensils 2024. At the same time, the movable drain tray 2023 is also convenient to disassemble and assemble, and to clean up tea leaves and other waste in the drain trough 2021.

[0117] In specific implementations, in some exemplary embodiments, the tea table 200 of this embodiment includes a tea table shell 201, the tea seat 202 is disposed in the tea table shell 201, and the drain tray 2023 is provided with a plurality of drain holes 20231 corresponding to the drain groove 2021, and a placement groove through hole 20232 corresponding to the tea utensil placement groove 2022.

[0118] The number and arrangement of the teaware placement slots 2022 can be set and adjusted according to the actual needs of placing the teaware 2024. For example, the teaware placement slots 2022 on the tea stand 202 can be arranged in three spaced-apart rows, and the line connecting the three teaware placement slots 2022 can form a triangle. Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the drain tray 2023 can be magnetically connected to the tea stand 202 to form a movable arrangement of the drain tray 2023. Specifically, magnets can be installed on the tea stand 202, and the drain tray 2023 can be made of magnetic materials such as ferritic stainless steel or enamel cast iron, thereby enabling the drain tray 2023 to be magnetically connected to the tea stand 202. Furthermore, in this embodiment, if necessary, in addition to providing teaware placement slots 2022 on the tea stand 202, teaware placement slots 2022 can also be arranged in other areas of the tea table shell 201.

[0119] Furthermore, in some exemplary embodiments, in the tea holder 202 of this embodiment, at least the portion forming the teaware placement slot 2022 is made of one of rubber, silicone, and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Compared to the existing tea holders where the portion of the teaware placement slot 2022 is made of hard materials (such as wood, hard plastic, etc.), this allows the teaware placement slot 2022 to have a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity. This makes it easier for the teaware 2024 to be embedded in the teaware placement slot 2022 to a certain extent under its own weight, preventing the teaware 2024 from shaking during travel. Moreover, there is no longitudinal resistance to hinder the retrieval of the teaware 2024, thereby ensuring the convenience of retrieving the teaware 2024.

[0120] In this embodiment, in addition to using rubber to make the teaware placement groove 2022, the tea stand 202 can also be made of food-grade silicone or liquid silicone materials to give it elastic deformation ability, cushioning performance and a certain degree of wear resistance, so that when the teaware 2024 is placed, it can be embedded into the groove by its own weight, and the encapsulation and friction of the material can be used to fix the teaware 2024, while avoiding shaking.

[0121] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, in some exemplary implementations, the bottom of the teaware placement slot 2022 is connected to the drain slot 2021, for example... Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, each teaware placement slot 2022 is connected to the drain slot 2021 via a connecting slot 2025. This facilitates the collection and filtration of wastewater spilled from the teaware 2024.

[0122] Moreover, in some exemplary embodiments, the tea stand 202 is provided with a filter screen 203 located at the drain outlet at the bottom of the drain trough 2021, that is, a filter screen 203 is provided between the drain outlet of the drain trough 2021 and the wastewater pipe 3071 to facilitate the filtering and cleaning of waste such as tea dregs.

[0123] In addition, continue to combine Figures 2 to 5 ,as well as Figures 18 to 21 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the tea table 200 is vertically mounted in the sub-instrument housing 100, the sub-instrument housing 100 is provided with a tea table drive mechanism 2041 for driving the tea table 200 to rise and fall, and the sub-instrument housing 100 is provided with a cover plate 400 and a cover plate drive mechanism 500 connected to the cover plate 400.

[0124] Furthermore, when the tea table drive mechanism 2041 drives the tea table 200 to descend to the preset position, the cover drive mechanism 500 drives the cover 400 to move to the top of the sub-instrument housing 100 and seal the sub-instrument housing 100. When the cover drive mechanism 500 drives the cover 400 to be stored inside the sub-instrument housing 100, the tea table drive mechanism 2041 drives the tea table 200 to rise to the use position.

[0125] It is understandable that by making the tea table 200 height-adjustable, and in conjunction with the cover 400 driven by the cover drive mechanism 500, the tea table 200 can be raised to a position suitable for user use when the cover 400 is opened. After the tea table 200 is lowered into the sub-instrument housing 100, the cover 400 covers and hides the tea table 200, thereby improving the safety of using the tea table 200 while driving, making reasonable use of the interior space, and allowing the tea table 200 to better integrate into the cabin environment, thus enhancing the technological and ceremonial feel of the sub-instrument assembly.

[0126] In some exemplary embodiments, the auxiliary instrument housing 100 of this embodiment includes a second housing 102 and a first housing 101 arranged vertically, wherein a tea table 200 and a tea table drive mechanism 2041 are disposed in the first housing 101, and a cover plate 400 and a cover plate drive mechanism 500 are disposed on the second housing 102.

[0127] In specific implementation, the tea table 200 of this embodiment is installed in the first housing 101 via a lifting mechanism 204 to achieve the purpose of raising and lowering the tea table 200. Furthermore, the tea table 200 and the lifting mechanism 204 are arranged vertically in sequence, with the water storage tank 3011 and the wastewater tank both located below the lifting mechanism 204. The first housing 101 is also provided with a door 103 for sealing the water storage tank 3011 and the wastewater tank. By opening the door 103, the water storage tank 3011 and the wastewater tank can be taken out and put in.

[0128] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figures 26 to 28 As shown, the lifting mechanism 204 includes a first base 2042 and a second base 2043 disposed vertically spaced in the first housing 101, a transmission assembly 2044 disposed between the first base 2042 and the second base 2043, and the tea table driving mechanism 2041 disposed on the second base 2043. The tea table 200 is disposed on the first base 2042, the second base 2043 is fixedly connected to the first housing 101, the tea table driving mechanism 2041 is connected to the transmission assembly 2044, and when the tea table driving mechanism 2041 drives the transmission assembly 2044, the transmission assembly 2044 can drive the first base 2042 to rise and fall, thereby driving the tea table 200 to rise and fall.

[0129] In specific implementations, in some exemplary embodiments, the transmission assembly 2044 of this embodiment includes a first hinge rod 20441 and a second hinge rod 20442 that are hinged to each other. One end of the first hinge rod 20441 is hinged to the first base 2042, and the other end of the first hinge rod 20441 is slidably disposed on the second base 2043. One end of the second hinge rod 20442 is hinged to the second base 2043, and the other end of the second hinge rod 20442 is slidably disposed on the first base 2042.

[0130] Meanwhile, the tea table drive mechanism 2041 includes a drive motor mounted on the second base 2043, a screw 2045 connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor, and a moving component 2046 connected to the screw 2045. The movable component 2046 includes a connecting block 20461 threadedly connected to the screw 2045, and a sliding rod 20462 disposed on the connecting block 20461. The sliding rod 20462 is hinged to the first hinge rod 20441. Both ends of the sliding rod 20462 are slidably disposed on the second base 2043. The axial direction of the screw 2045 is parallel to the sliding direction of the first hinge rod 20441 and the second hinge rod 20442. Thus, the screw 2045 can be driven to rotate by the drive motor, so that the screw 2045 drives the connecting block 20461 to slide along the axial direction of the screw 2045. In this way, the first base 2042 can be raised and lowered with the cooperation of the transmission component 2044, that is, the tea table 200 can be raised and lowered.

[0131] In some exemplary embodiments, the second base 2043 of this embodiment is provided with two second guide rails 20431 arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the second base 2043. The two ends of the sliding rod 20462 slide in the two second guide rails 20431 respectively through the guide slider 20463, so as to improve the lifting stability of the first base 2042.

[0132] Similarly, in some exemplary embodiments, the second hinge rod 20442 can be slidably mounted on the first base 2042 via a support rod. The first base 2042 is provided with two first guide rails 20421 arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the first base 2042. The two ends of the support rod slide in the two first guide rails 20421 respectively via guide sliders 20463, thereby improving the stability of the lifting and lowering of the first base 2042.

[0133] Furthermore, in order to further improve the stability of the lifting of the first base 2042, in some exemplary embodiments, a guide assembly is provided between the first housing 101 and the first base 2042 in this embodiment. The guide assembly includes a lifting guide rail 205 provided on the first housing 101 and a lifting slider 20422 provided on the first base 2042. The lifting slider 20422 is slidably provided on the lifting guide rail 205.

[0134] Of course, in the specific implementation of this embodiment, the number and arrangement of the guide components can be set and adjusted according to the lifting requirements of the tea table 200. For example, guide components are provided at both ends of the length direction of the first base 2042 to improve the stability of the lifting of the first base 2042.

[0135] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, to further ensure the stability of the lifting and lowering of the first base 2042, the number and arrangement of the first hinge rod 20441 and the second hinge rod 20442 in the transmission assembly 2044 can be adjusted accordingly. For example, the first hinge rod 20441 and the second hinge rod 20442 are two sets arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the first base 2042, and the two sets of first hinge rods 20441 are connected by a sliding rod 20462, and the two sets of second hinge rods 20442 are connected by a support rod, etc.

[0136] In addition, continue to combine Figures 18 to 22 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the sub-instrument housing 100 is provided with a slide rail, and the cover plate 400 has a sliding portion slidably disposed in the slide rail. Driven by the cover plate drive mechanism 500, the cover plate 400 is guided by the slide rail and can be completely housed in one side of the sub-instrument housing 100.

[0137] Thus, the combined use of the slide and the sliding part helps to improve the smoothness of the movement of the cover plate 400. At the same time, as mentioned above, the cover plate 400 is located on the second housing 102, and the cover plate 400 can be completely stored in one side of the second housing 102. Compared with the existing solution where the cover plate is partially exposed when stored in one side, the tea table 200 can be directly raised to the top of the second housing 102 and cooperate with the annular frame 104 at the top of the second housing 102 to eliminate the gap between the edge of the tea table 200 and the second housing 102, thereby enhancing the exquisite feel of the tea table 200 when in use.

[0138] That is, driven by the cover plate drive mechanism 500, the cover plate 400 has a first position covering the top of the second housing 102, or a second position being housed in the second housing 102. A slide is used to guide the cover plate 400 to move between the first position and the second position, and in the second position, the cover plate 400 is fully housed in one side of the second housing 102.

[0139] In some exemplary embodiments, the cover plate 400 of this embodiment includes a first cover plate 401 and a second cover plate 402. The sliding part includes a first sliding component 4011 and a second sliding component 4012 disposed on the first cover plate 401, and a third sliding component 4021 and a fourth sliding component 4022 disposed on the second cover plate 402. A connecting rod 403 is hinged between the second sliding component 4012 and the third sliding component 4021.

[0140] Furthermore, the slide includes a first sub-slide 1021, a second sub-slide 1022, and a third sub-slide 1023 arranged sequentially. A first sliding component 4011 is slidably disposed in the first sub-slide 1021, a second sliding component 4012 and a third sliding component 4021 are both slidably disposed in the second sub-slide 1022, and a fourth sliding component 4022 is slidably disposed in the third sub-slide 1023.

[0141] It is understandable that by configuring the cover plate 400 to include a first cover plate 401 and a second cover plate 402, and based on the cooperative configuration of the first sliding component 4011, the second sliding component 4012, the third sliding component 4021, the fourth sliding component 4022 and the connecting rod 403, as well as the first sub-slide rail 1021, the second sub-slide rail 1022 and the third sub-slide rail 1023, it is possible to completely house the cover plate 400 in the second housing 102.

[0142] Combination Figures 18 to 24 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the cover plate drive mechanism 500 drives the first cover plate 401 and the second cover plate 402 to move synchronously via the cable 503, and the auxiliary instrument housing 100 is provided with a pulley group 504 for supporting and guiding the cable 503.

[0143] Here, the cover plate 400 is driven by a combination of cable 503 and pulley block 504. Compared with the existing scheme of using connecting rod and drive wheel to drive the cover plate, this not only achieves the purpose of driving the cover plate 400 smoothly, but also makes the structure simpler, occupies less space, and has a lower cost.

[0144] In specific implementations, in some exemplary embodiments, the cable 503 of this embodiment is wound around the pulley block 504, and the cover plate drive mechanism 500 is connected to the first cover plate 401 and the second cover plate 402 via the cable 503. Meanwhile, to prevent interference between the cable 503 and the sliding part, the pulley block 504 includes multiple fixed pulleys disposed in the housing, with the fixed pulleys arranged corresponding to the outer periphery to which the slide is to be reached, and the cable 503 is wound sequentially around each fixed pulley.

[0145] In detail, the first sliding component 4011, the second sliding component 4012, the third sliding component 4021, and the fourth sliding component 4022 of this embodiment all include a support leg and a sliding wheel disposed on the support leg. That is, the sliding wheel in the first sliding component 4011 is slidably disposed in the first sub-slide rail 1021, the sliding wheels in the second sliding component 4012 and the sliding wheels in the third sliding component 4021 are both slidably disposed in the second sub-slide rail 1022, and the sliding wheel in the fourth sliding component 4022 is slidably disposed in the third sub-slide rail 1023. The cable 503 is connected to the support leg of the first sliding component 4011. That is, the cable 503 drives the first cover plate 401 to move through the first sliding component 4011, thereby driving the entire cover plate 400 to move.

[0146] Furthermore, to ensure that the second cover plate 402 and the first cover plate 401 are sequentially housed in the second housing 102, the slide rail in this embodiment, as shown... Figure 22 As shown, the first sub-slide 1021, the second sub-slide 1022, and the third sub-slide 1023 are arranged vertically. The first sub-slide 1021 is an inclined straight line. The upper half of the second sub-slide 1022 is parallel to and close to the first sub-slide 1021, while the lower half of the second sub-slide 1022 gradually slopes downward. The third sub-slide 1023 has a first section, a second section, a third section, and a fourth section arranged sequentially. The first section gradually slopes forward from top to bottom, the second section is horizontal, the third section gradually slopes forward from top to bottom, and the fourth section extends downward from the end of the third section while gradually slopes backward.

[0147] Furthermore, in specific implementations, in some exemplary embodiments, the multiple fixed pulleys include a first fixed pulley 5041, a second fixed pulley 5042, a third fixed pulley 5043, a fourth fixed pulley 5044, a fifth fixed pulley 5045, and a sixth fixed pulley 5046. For example... Figure 20 As shown, the first fixed pulley 5041 is located at the rear end of the first sub-slide 1021, the second fixed pulley 5042 is located at the front end of the first sub-slide 1021, the third fixed pulley 5043 is located behind the rear ends of the second sub-slide 1022 and the third sub-slide 1023, the fourth fixed pulley 5044 is located in front of the front end of the second sub-slide 1022, the fifth fixed pulley 5045 is located behind the bottom of the third section of the third sub-slide 1023, and the sixth fixed pulley 5046 is located in front of the fourth section of the third sub-slide 1023. This arrangement of multiple fixed pulleys around the periphery of the slides avoids interference between the cable 503 and the cover plate 400 during sliding.

[0148] Furthermore, in some exemplary embodiments, the cover plate driving mechanism 500 of this embodiment includes a rotary power output device 501 and a drive wheel 502 disposed on the drive shaft of the rotary power output device 501, with one end of a cable 503 wound around the drive wheel 502. The rotary power output device 501 may be an electric motor, and the drive wheel 502 may be a traction wheel for traction cable 503.

[0149] Of course, to ensure the stability of the movement of the cover plate 400, in this embodiment, the sliding part, the slide rail, the cable 503 and the pulley block 504 can be arranged on opposite sides. For example, specifically, the inner sidewalls on both sides of the second housing 102 along the width direction of the auxiliary instrument housing 100 are provided with slide rails and pulley blocks 504, the sliding part is adapted to the slide rail, the cable 503 is adapted to the pulley block 504, the drive wheel 502 is adapted to the cable 503, etc.

[0150] Meanwhile, in some exemplary embodiments, in this embodiment, the top of the second housing 102 is provided with a locking mechanism 600. When the cover plate 400 is in the first position, the locking mechanism 600 is triggered, which can lock the cover plate 400 on the housing to prevent the cover plate 400 from being accidentally opened due to pressing.

[0151] In a specific implementation, the locking mechanism 600 includes a locking drive mechanism 601 disposed on the housing, and a locking member 602 driven by the locking drive mechanism 601. When the cover plate 400 is in the first position, the locking member 602 is driven by the locking drive mechanism 601 to abut against the cover plate 400, thereby locking the cover plate 400. The locking drive mechanism 601 may be a cylinder, and the locking member 602 may be a cylinder rod of the cylinder, or a locking rod connected to the cylinder rod, and so on. Figure 22 As shown, the second housing 102 may preferably be provided with a locking mounting groove 1024 for mounting the locking drive mechanism 601.

[0152] Of course, in some exemplary embodiments, the driving mechanism 601 can be an electromagnetic locking mechanism. In this case, the locking driving mechanism 601 is an electromagnet assembly, and the locking element 602 is a locking tongue. That is, the electromagnetic locking mechanism includes an electromagnet assembly disposed on the auxiliary instrument housing 100, and a locking tongue driven by the electromagnet assembly. When the cover plate reaches the first position, the electromagnet assembly is energized and activated to drive the locking tongue to extend and abut against the cover plate 400, thereby locking the cover plate 400. It can be understood that the electromagnetic locking mechanism includes an electromagnet assembly and a locking tongue, which makes the structure simple and the operation more reliable.

[0153] Still refer to Figure 3As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, a sterilization component 700 is provided in the sub-instrument housing 100. When the tea table 200 is lowered and the cover plate 400 is closed on the top of the sub-instrument housing 100, the sterilization component 700 can sterilize the working surface of the tea table 200. Here, by providing the sterilization component 700, the tea table 200 and its components such as the tea utensils 2024 can be sterilized after each use, preventing bacterial growth. Of course, the sterilization component 700 adopts a common germicidal lamp component.

[0154] It is worth noting that, regarding the auxiliary instrument assembly of this embodiment, based on the above exemplary implementations, in specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment, it is still composed of... Figures 1 to 28 As shown, it includes, for example, a secondary instrument housing 100, a tea table 200 and a hot water supply device disposed in the secondary instrument housing 100, and the hot water supply device is provided with a water vapor separation mechanism.

[0155] The hot water supply device includes a water storage section 301, a heating section 302, and a water outlet section 303 connected by a water supply pipeline 305, as well as a water supply pump 304 installed in the water supply pipeline 305. The water outlet section 303 is installed on the tea table 200, and the water vapor separation mechanism includes a water vapor separation unit installed in the water outlet section 303.

[0156] The water outlet section 303 includes a water outlet pipe 3032 that communicates with the heating section 302. Meanwhile, the water-gas separation unit includes a water-gas separation pipeline 306 that communicates with the water outlet pipe 3032, and a water-gas separation valve connected in the water-gas separation pipeline 306. The water-gas separation valve is used to separate gaseous water and liquid water entering the water-gas separation pipeline 306 and output gaseous water.

[0157] The water-gas separation pipeline 306 is connected to the water storage section 301, and a return pump 308 is installed in the water-gas separation pipeline 306. The return pump 308 is used to pump the separated gaseous water back into the pipeline, where the gaseous water is cooled and transported to the water storage section 301. Furthermore, the return pump 308 is connected to the heating section 302 in a bypass manner, and the return pump 308 can draw water from the heating section 302 and the water outlet section 303 and return it to the water storage section 301.

[0158] The water storage section 301 is equipped with a wave-damping component to reduce water sloshing within it. Meanwhile, the water supply pipe 305 is connected to the water storage section 301 via a quick-connect structure 3013, which is equipped with a one-way valve configured to automatically block water flow to the water storage section 301 when the quick-connect structure 3013 is disconnected.
