Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior parts technology, and in particular to a sliding cover assembly applied to the central tunnel assembly. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, people have increasingly higher demands for car quality. Over the past decade, my country's automobile production has achieved significant growth. As people's living standards improve, the comfort of cars is also receiving more and more attention from consumers. As an important part of the car interior, the comfort and functionality of the central console have become one of the important criteria for evaluating the interior design.

[0003] In existing technologies, various cover structures are installed on the central tunnel assembly to meet different needs. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN204055459U, entitled "An Upper Cover Structure for a Car Central Tunnel," discloses an upper cover structure for a car central tunnel, which includes a joint between the upper cover and the dashboard. Guide posts are designed at the front end of the upper cover to facilitate positioning during assembly and to fix the position of the upper cover. There is one guide post on each of the left and right sides. This type of cover is mainly used to cover various structures in the central tunnel.

[0004] The above solution uses a fixed structure. Of course, some cover plates are designed to be pull-out to meet design requirements. However, these structures rely on their own elasticity to return to their original position. The impact during the return is relatively large, which can easily damage the cover plate, reduce its service life, and affect the performance. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a sliding cover assembly for use in central channel assemblies that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and capable of uniform speed return.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sliding cover assembly for a central channel assembly, comprising a sliding seat, wherein the sliding seat is provided with a sliding groove, a locking mechanism and an auxiliary component, the sliding cover being slidably connected to the sliding seat through the sliding groove, and being locked and uniformly reset through the locking mechanism and the auxiliary component.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the sliding seat is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves, and the working surface of the sliding seat between the two sliding grooves is provided with an auxiliary component mounting position and a locking mechanism mounting position. The sliding grooves are provided at the two working ends of the sliding seat and protrude from the working surface of the sliding seat, and the groove openings of the two sliding grooves are arranged opposite to each other.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the locking mechanism is a labyrinth lock, which is mounted on the sliding seat via a locking mechanism mounting position.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the auxiliary component includes a first reset mechanism and a second reset mechanism disposed on the auxiliary component mounting position and located on both sides of the locking mechanism, as well as an auxiliary rebound control mechanism disposed on one side of the first reset mechanism, so that the sliding cover plate can be linked with the reset mechanism when sliding, and the speed of reset is smoothed by the rebound force, which helps to avoid the impact caused by rapid rebound.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the auxiliary springback control mechanism includes a rack seat integrally mounted on the sliding seat, and a limit groove is provided on one side of the rack seat to achieve uniform motion during the return process with the mating components.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the working ends of the first reset mechanism and the second reset mechanism are respectively connected to the sliding cover plate.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the two working ends of the sliding cover are integrally and symmetrically provided with sliders, and the sliding cover achieves sliding connection with the sliding seat through the cooperation of the sliders and the sliding groove.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the lower working surface of the sliding cover is provided with a first linkage part corresponding to the first reset mechanism and a second linkage part corresponding to the second reset mechanism. The working end of the first reset mechanism is connected to the first linkage part, and the working end of the second reset mechanism is connected to the second linkage part, thereby realizing that the sliding cover forms a linkage with the reset mechanism when it slides, and the reset is completed by the rebound force.

[0014] In the above technical solution, a cooperating component corresponding to the auxiliary rebound control mechanism is provided on one side of the first linkage part, including a damping gear that cooperates with the rack seat and a limiting block that is cooperating in the limiting groove, which helps to prevent the sliding cover from shaking during the sliding process and makes the operation more stable.

[0015] In the above technical solution, a locking engagement rod corresponding to the locking mechanism is provided on the lower working surface of the sliding cover plate for locking and releasing the locking mechanism.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: by cooperating with the locking mechanism and auxiliary components, the sliding cover can be locked and reset at a constant speed. This not only avoids the damage to the cover caused by the large impact during return due to the use of a return spring in the prior art, but also provides a good operating feel, brings driving pleasure, and improves the customer experience.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 6 A sliding cover assembly for use in a central channel assembly includes a sliding seat 1 and a sliding plate disposed on the sliding seat 1. The sliding cover 2 is slidably connected to the sliding seat 1 through a sliding groove 12, and the sliding cover 2 is kept in a locked state or a reset state in the working position by the cooperation of a locking mechanism 3. The auxiliary component not only provides tactile force during sliding, but also resets the sliding cover 2 at a uniform speed during the reset process, reducing the impact caused by the reset pull and improving the service life of the cover assembly.

[0029] The sliding seat 1 is a frame structure with a sliding seat working surface 11. The two working ends of the sliding seat 1 protrude from the sliding seat working surface 11 and are provided with sliding groove 12 structures. That is, the sliding groove 12 formed by the concave structure is opened on the structure protruding from the sliding seat working surface 11, and the groove openings of the two sliding grooves 12 are arranged opposite to each other. This is beneficial for the sliding cover plate 2 structure to be horizontally installed on the sliding seat 1 through the sliding groove 12.

[0030] An auxiliary component mounting position 13 and a locking mechanism mounting position 14 are provided near the front end of the sliding seat working surface 11. The auxiliary component mounting position 13 and the locking mechanism mounting position 14 are both located between two symmetrical sliding grooves 12. The auxiliary component mounting position 13 is an inner groove structure, and the number of auxiliary component mounting positions 13 corresponds to the number of auxiliary components.

[0031] The locking mechanism mounting position 14 is located between the auxiliary component mounting positions 13, that is, at the center of the front end of the sliding seat working surface 11. This arrangement helps to ensure a more stable locking force with a single locking structure.

[0032] The locking mechanism 3 is a labyrinth lock. A working groove 31 with one end open and the other end closed is provided on the working surface of the labyrinth lock. A stop block 32 is provided in the working groove 31 to divide the working groove 31 into a locking channel and a releasing channel. A locking working position 321 is provided on the working end of the stop block 32. The locking mechanism 3 is mounted on the sliding seat 1 through the locking mechanism mounting position.

[0033] The auxiliary components include a first reset mechanism 41, a second reset mechanism 42, and an auxiliary springback control mechanism.

[0034] The first reset mechanism 41 and the second reset mechanism 42 are respectively located at the auxiliary component mounting position 13. Of course, as a preferred embodiment, both the first reset mechanism 41 and the second reset mechanism 42 adopt the method of coiling springs. Both the working end 411 and the working end 421 of the first reset mechanism are provided with connection positions. In this way, the working end 411 and the working end 421 of the first reset mechanism are respectively connected to the sliding cover plate 2. Under the action of the sliding cover plate 2, the coiling spring will be stretched. When locking is required, it is locked by a labyrinth lock. When the sliding cover plate 2 needs to return to its original position, it returns to its original position under the rebound force of the coiling spring. Of course, since the rebound force of the coiling spring will cause an impact when the sliding cover plate 2 retracts, it is not only easy to be damaged, but also noisy. Therefore, an auxiliary rebound control mechanism is provided on one side of the first reset mechanism 41 to maintain the slow movement of the sliding cover plate 2 when it retracts.

[0035] The auxiliary springback control mechanism includes a rack seat 431 integrally mounted on the sliding seat 1, and a limit groove 432 is provided on one side of the rack seat.

[0036] Of course, both the locking mechanism 3 and the auxiliary springback control mechanism need to cooperate with the sliding cover plate 2 to achieve the action.

[0037] The sliding cover plate 2 includes two sliders 21 integrally and symmetrically arranged at two working ends, and a first linkage part 22, a second linkage part 23, a mating component, and a locking mating rod 26 arranged on the lower working surface of the sliding cover plate 2.

[0038] The slider 21 is set on both working ends of the sliding cover plate 2, and its size and setting position correspond to the sliding groove 12. The first linkage part 22 is set to the first reset mechanism 41, and the second linkage part 23 is set to the second reset mechanism 42. Both the first linkage part 22 and the second linkage part 23 adopt the connecting column structure. In this way, they can be quickly connected with the working ends 411 and 421 of the first reset mechanism, so as to realize the linkage between the sliding cover plate 2 and the first reset mechanism 41 and the second reset mechanism 42.

[0039] The mating components are located on one side of the first linkage part 22 and are set in accordance with the auxiliary springback control mechanism. They include a damping gear 24 and a limit block 25. During assembly, the damping gear 24 meshes with the rack seat 431, and the limit block 25 is inserted into the limit slide groove 432 to prevent the sliding cover 2 from shaking during the sliding process and to ensure smoothness.

[0040] Of course, the locking engagement rod 26 is located between the first linkage part 22 and the second linkage part 23, corresponding to the locking mechanism 3. The locking engagement rod 26 realizes the locking and resetting of the sliding cover plate 2 by displacement within the labyrinth lock.

[0041] In use, when the sliding cover 2 slides to the position of the locking mechanism 3 on the sliding seat 1, the locking engagement rod 26 enters the working groove 31 through the open end of the working groove 31, and moves along the locking channel under the drive of the sliding cover 2, until it stops and locks at the locking working position 321 set on the working end of the stop block 32, so that the sliding cover 2 maintains this position. When the sliding cover 2 needs to be reset, continue to pull the sliding cover 2, so that the locking engagement rod 26 disengages from the locking working position 321 and enters the release channel 311, and then disengages from the working groove 31 from the open end of the working groove 31. Under the meshing of the damping gear 24 and the rack seat 431, the rebound force of the first reset mechanism 41 and the second reset mechanism 42 is reduced, so that the sliding cover 2 can return to its original position at a uniform speed. At the same time, the limiting stop block 25 is inserted in the limiting slide groove 432 to prevent the sliding cover 2 from shaking and to ensure smoothness during the sliding process.

[0042] The above solution not only avoids the damage to the cover caused by the large impact during return due to the use of a return spring in the existing technology, but also reconstructs the driver's spatial perception through tactile feedback, namely damping, visual obstruction, and operating rhythm, as well as the timing of pushing and pulling. This setting makes the mechanical structure an extension of bodily perception, creating a "transparent" operating experience, bringing driving pleasure and improving the customer experience.

The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
