[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automotive sun visors, and more particularly to a voice-controlled sun visor. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, users are increasingly demanding more intelligent, personalized, and comfortable vehicle interiors. As an important component of automotive interiors, the function of sun visors is no longer limited to traditional manual sunshades.

[0003] In traditional sun visor designs, a simple structural design is typically used to achieve the sun-shading function. It is generally made of a flat plate that is fixed to the interior of the car via a rotating shaft, and the user manually adjusts the angle of the sun visor to block the sunlight.

[0004] However, these designs of traditional sun visors have obvious drawbacks. Manually adjusting the sun visor angle requires the user's attention, which can pose certain safety hazards while driving. At the same time, traditional sun visors have limited functionality and cannot meet users' needs for personalization and intelligence. They cannot be adjusted according to user voice commands, nor can they achieve additional functions such as diverse lighting effects. Utility Model Content

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, and placing the driver, ambient light strip, step-down unit, ambient light control unit, and voice recognition control unit all within the installation chamber, a high degree of integration and intelligence of the sun visor is achieved. The voice recognition control unit can simultaneously issue commands to the driver and ambient light control unit, thereby enabling unified voice control of the rotation and lighting effects, thus achieving intelligent control of the sun visor and improving convenience and safety.

[0008] Preferably, the ambient light strip is disposed on the edge of the sunshade body, and a light guide strip is connected to the outer side of the ambient light strip.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the point light source is transformed into a surface light source using a light guide strip, which solves the problem of uniform and soft light diffusion and optimizes the light output effect of the ambient light strip.

[0010] Preferably, the sunshade body is provided with a buckle, one end of which is engaged with the frame and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the light guide strip.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a detachable connection between the guide strip and the sunshade is achieved through a simple structure.

[0012] Preferably, the ambient light strip includes multiple RGB LEDs that are equidistantly distributed.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and using equidistantly distributed RGB LEDs as the light source for the ambient light strip, the adjustability of light color and brightness is directly realized, providing a foundation for achieving rich lighting effects.

[0014] Preferably, the ambient lighting control unit integrates a wireless communication module, which is connected to an external mobile terminal and / or the vehicle's large screen.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and integrating a wireless communication module into the ambient lighting control unit, it can connect to external mobile terminals and / or the vehicle's large screen, adding another flexible control channel besides voice, which facilitates personalized settings for users.

[0016] Preferably, the voice recognition control unit includes a voice collection module disposed within the sun visor body, and a voice processing module that is signal-connected to the voice collection module.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the voice collection module is used to collect the voice and generate corresponding control commands, and the voice processing module is used to receive the control commands and output them to the ambient light control unit and the drive unit, so as to realize the control of the rotation of the light and the sunshade body.

[0018] Preferably, the voice recognition control unit further includes a speaker, which is disposed on the sun visor body and signal-connected to the voice recognition control unit.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a speaker on the sun visor body that is connected to the voice recognition control unit, voice feedback for operation is realized, completing the closed loop of voice interaction and improving the user experience.

[0020] Preferably, the outer surface of the sunshade body is also provided with a QR code label, which contains a download link for the accompanying application.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a QR code label on the outer surface of the sun visor, users are provided with a convenient entry point to quickly access the accompanying application.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By highly integrating the driver, ambient light strip, ambient light control unit, and voice recognition control unit into the same installation chamber, and outputting commands uniformly through the voice recognition control unit, a localized intelligent terminal integrating electric adjustment and lighting management is constructed; breaking the traditional isolated and uncoordinated control mode of sunshade functions; 2. Users can precisely adjust the sun visor angle by controlling the drive components via voice, and can also command the ambient lighting control unit to control the opening and closing of the ambient lighting strip. This enables coordinated operation between different functions, greatly reducing the safety risks of manual operation during driving and improving interaction efficiency and driving safety.

[0025] The following combination Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a voice-controlled sunshade.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A voice-controlled sun visor includes a mounting base 1 connected to a vehicle body, a sun visor body 2, and a rotating shaft 3. The sun visor body 2 includes a front plate 21, a frame 23, and a rear plate 22. The front plate 21 and the rear plate 22 are interlocked, and the frame 23 is installed between the front plate 21 and the rear plate 22. A mounting chamber 24 is provided between the front plate 21 and the rear plate 22. The mounting chamber 24 is equipped with a drive unit 4, an ambient light strip 8, a step-down unit 7, an ambient light control unit 6, and a voice recognition control unit 5.

[0028] The rotating shaft 3 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1. One end of the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive component 4, and the other end of the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1. In this embodiment, the drive component 4 is set as a servo motor, which can precisely control the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 3, and thus precisely control the rotation angle of the sunshade body 2.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 The ambient light strip 8 is generally located on the three sides of the rear plate 22, excluding the side where the rotating shaft 3 is located. A light guide strip 81 is provided on the outer side of the ambient light strip 8 relative to the mounting chamber 24. Multiple clips 82 are provided on the rear plate 22 near the ambient light strip 8. One end of each clip 82 is inserted into the frame 23, and the other end is fixedly connected to the light guide strip 81. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the other end of the clip 82 and the light guide strip 81 are integrally formed. The ambient light strip 8 is fixed to the light guide strip 81. The ambient light strip 8 includes multiple light-emitting elements distributed along its length. These light-emitting elements are light source components with adjustable color and brightness. In this application, all light-emitting elements are RGB LEDs. RGB LEDs can display various colors by controlling the light intensity of different colors, achieving rich lighting effects. Multiple light-emitting elements are equidistantly distributed on the ambient light strip 8, which allows the light to be conducted and diffused more evenly through the light guide strip 81, transforming the point light source into a surface light source and optimizing the light output effect of the ambient light strip 8. This combination of the light guide strip 81 and the ambient light strip 8 allows the light emitted by the ambient light strip 8 to be better diffused around the sun visor through the light guide strip 81, creating a unique atmosphere.

[0030] refer to Figure 4The vehicle body power supply port is electrically connected to the input terminal of the step-down unit 7, and the output terminal of the step-down unit 7 is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the voice recognition control unit 5. In this embodiment, the step-down unit 7 is used to convert the 12V voltage to 5V to meet the power supply requirements. Specifically, the step-down unit 7 can be a switching power supply step-down module, which has advantages such as high efficiency and small size; or, it can be a linear regulated power supply step-down module, which outputs a more stable voltage.

[0031] Specifically, the output of the ambient lighting control unit 6 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the ambient lighting strip 8. The ambient lighting control unit 6 also integrates a wireless communication module 61, which is used to establish a signal connection with an external terminal. In this embodiment, the wireless communication module 61 uses the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol for bidirectional data transmission with the external terminal. The Bluetooth Low Energy protocol has advantages such as low power consumption, moderate transmission distance, and fast connection speed. Through the wireless communication module 61, the ambient lighting control unit 6 can receive control commands from an external terminal (such as a mobile phone), thereby controlling the opening and closing, color, frequency, and display effects of the ambient lighting strip 8, such as flowing lines or breathing lights. Furthermore, the ambient lighting control unit 6 is also connected to the vehicle's large screen, enabling control of the ambient lighting strip 8 through the large screen.

[0032] The voice recognition control unit 5 includes a voice collection module 51 and a voice processing module 52. The voice collection module 51 is disposed on the surface of the sun visor body 2 and can be configured as a microphone, capable of sensitively collecting external voice commands. The voice processing module 52 is signal-connected to the voice collection module 51 and is used to recognize the collected voice commands, thereby generating corresponding control commands. The first output terminal of the voice recognition control unit 5 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the drive component 4, enabling control of the rotation of the sun visor body 2 and the angle of rotation; the second output terminal of the voice recognition control unit 5 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the ambient light control unit 6, enabling control of the opening and closing of the ambient light strip 8. (Reference) Figure 2 In addition, a speaker 53 is also installed on the sun visor body 2. The speaker 53 is connected to the voice recognition control unit 5. When the voice recognition control unit 5 receives and processes a voice command, the speaker 53 can play a feedback tone to inform the user that the command has been received and processed. The voice recognition control unit 5 enables the sun visor to intelligently adjust according to the user's voice commands, improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0033] A QR code label 9 is also fixed on the sun visor body 2, containing an application download link. Users can scan the QR code label 9 to download the accompanying APP, which allows for more personalized settings and controls on the sun visor, including controlling the color, frequency, and different lighting effects of the ambient light strip 8.

[0034] The implementation principle of a voice-controlled sun visor in this application embodiment is as follows: the vehicle body voltage is converted into a suitable voltage by the step-down unit 7 to power various components. The voice recognition control unit 5 can collect and recognize the user's voice commands, and control the drive component 4 to adjust the flip angle of the sun visor according to the commands, while controlling the ambient light control unit 6 to adjust the lighting effect of the ambient light strip 8. The light from the ambient light strip 8 is diffused through the light guide strip 81 to create a unique atmosphere. Users can also download an APP by scanning a QR code and interact with the sun visor using the wireless communication module 61. The limiting structure ensures the safe use of the sun visor. This design improves the intelligence and personalization of the sun visor, meets users' higher requirements for the comfort and functionality of the car interior, and solves the problems of the traditional sun visor's single function and the safety hazards of manual adjustment, making a significant improvement and contribution to the existing technology.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
