[0060] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.
[0061] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0062] The dashboard is a panel structure installed at the front of the vehicle, below the windshield. It integrates information display, operation control, comfort features and storage functions required for driving, and is the main interactive interface for the driver to obtain vehicle status and operate vehicle functions.
[0063] The dashboard includes an information display area, a central control area, control levers and switches, safety and comfort components, and storage space. The information display area includes a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, coolant temperature gauge, and warning lights, used to display the vehicle's operating status in real time. The central control area includes the multimedia system, air conditioning control panel, audio controls, and vehicle settings buttons. Control levers and switches include light controls, wiper controls, turn signals, and cruise control buttons. Safety and comfort components mainly include airbags, air conditioning vents, sun visors, vanity mirrors, and a cigarette lighter. Storage space is used to store documents, mobile phones, water bottles, and other items.
[0064] The aforementioned storage space typically consists of a box 40, which includes a lid 20 and a body 30, with the lid 20 fitting over the body 30. However, during vehicle operation, bumps can easily occur, causing the lid 20 to wobble. Especially when the lid 20 is open, the wobble can easily cause it to close, making it difficult to retrieve items or perform other operations. There is even a risk of fingers being pinched when the lid 20 closes, posing a safety hazard.
[0065] refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, Figure 1 and Figure 2 All are overall schematic diagrams of the instrument panel 50, in which... Figure 1 The middle box cover 20 and the box body 30 are arranged to close together. Figure 2 The middle box cover 20 and the box body 30 are designed to open and close relative to each other. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the engagement of the shaft unit 100, the first locking unit 200, the second locking unit 300, and the elastic unit 400 when the housing 40 is closed. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the interaction of the shaft unit 100, the first locking unit 200, the second locking unit 300, and the elastic unit 400 when the housing 40 is open.
[0066] This application proposes a pivot section 10 applied to a housing 40, the housing 40 including a cover 20 and a body 30. The pivot section 10 includes a shaft unit 100, a first locking unit 200, a second locking unit 300, and an elastic unit 400. The shaft unit 100 is disposed between the cover 20 and the body 30. The first locking unit 200 is disposed on the cover 20 and connected to the shaft unit 100. The second locking unit 300 is disposed on the body 30 and connected to the shaft unit 100. The second locking unit 300 is located on the side of the shaft unit. The elastic unit 400 is connected to the second locking unit 300 and is used to push the second locking unit 300 toward the first locking unit 200.
[0067] When the housing 40 is opened, the elastic unit 400 pushes the second locking unit 300 to move along the axial direction Y of the shaft unit 100 and locks it in the first locking unit 200 to restrict the rotation of the shaft unit 100.
[0068] It should be noted that the elastic unit 400 here can be a spring, rubber, or other elastic component, as long as it can push the second locking unit 300 to move along the axial direction Y of the shaft unit 100, it is within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, the specific structure of the first locking unit 200 and the second locking unit 300 is not limited, as long as the movement of the second locking unit 300 along the axial direction Y of the shaft unit 100 can restrict the rotation of the first locking unit 200, it is within the scope of protection of this application. For example, it could be two interlocking locking keys; once engaged, the lock cannot move.
[0069] Based on the above configuration, when the box 40 is opened, the second locking unit 300 locks the first locking unit 200, thus preventing the lid 20 from closing directly onto the box 30 due to bumps in the vehicle. This facilitates the removal of items or other operations while eliminating safety risks.
[0070] Furthermore, this application utilizes an elastic unit 400 to achieve the aforementioned functions. When the lid 20 and the body 30 are closed, the elastic unit 400 is compressed to store energy. When the lid 20 is opened, the elastic unit 400 releases energy, pushing the second locking unit 300 towards the first locking unit 200, thereby restricting the rotation of the shaft unit 100. In other words, the mechanism of this application can directly achieve energy charging using the action of closing the lid 20, and energy release using the action of opening the lid 20. The entire operation is smooth and requires no other operations.
[0071] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the first locking unit 200 includes a plurality of first protruding structures 210, which are spaced apart, and a plurality of first receiving spaces 220 are generated between the plurality of first protruding structures 210; the second locking unit 300 includes a plurality of second protruding structures 310, which are spaced apart, and a plurality of second receiving spaces 320 are generated between the plurality of second protruding structures 310. (Reference) Figure 3 As shown, when the housing 40 is closed, the first protruding structure 210 and the second protruding structure 310 abut against each other. (Reference) Figure 4 As shown, when the box 40 is opened, the second protruding structure 310 is inserted into the first receiving space 220 under the push of the elastic unit 400, and the first protruding structure 210 is inserted into the second receiving space 320, thereby restricting the rotation of the shaft unit 100.
[0072] Based on the above configuration, when the box 40 is closed, the first protruding structure 210 and the second protruding structure 310 are in contact with each other. When the box lid 20 is opened, it drives the first protruding structure 210 to rotate. At this time, the first accommodating space 220 gradually engages with the second protruding structure 310, and simultaneously, the second accommodating space 320 gradually engages with the first accommodating space 220.
[0073] When the first receiving space 220 and the second protruding structure 310 are engaged, and the second receiving space 320 and the first protruding structure 210 are engaged, the second protruding structure 310 of the second locking unit 300 locks the first locking unit 200 under the action of the elastic unit 400, thereby preventing the lid 20 from closing naturally due to shaking.
[0074] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in the direction from the first locking unit 200 to the second locking unit 300, the cross-section of the first protruding structure 210 gradually decreases. Similarly, in the direction from the second locking unit 300 to the first locking unit 200, the cross-section of the second protruding structure 310 gradually decreases.
[0075] Based on the above configuration, the first protruding structure 210 and the second protruding structure 310 gradually decrease in size in the outward direction, that is, the outermost end is the smallest part. Furthermore, the first receiving space 220 and the second receiving space 320 located between the two first locking units 200 gradually increase in size, that is, the outermost end is the largest part.
[0076] This configuration facilitates the engagement of the first protruding structure 210 with the second receiving space 320, and also facilitates the engagement of the second protruding structure 310 with the first receiving space 220. This assembly process smoothly engages the first locking unit 200 and the second locking unit 300, resulting in a better user experience.
[0077] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the rotating shaft 10 includes a fixed platform 500, which includes a groove 510 disposed along the axial direction Y. A second locking unit 300 is at least partially disposed in the groove 510 and can move along the groove 510 under the push of the elastic unit 400. (Reference) Figure 8 As shown, the trough 510 may include two, arranged parallel to each other. It should be noted that the vehicle has a length direction from the front to the rear, and a width direction perpendicular to the length direction. Here, the axial direction Y is the width direction of the vehicle.
[0078] The aforementioned groove 510 can restrict the movement direction of the second locking unit 300 and cooperate with the elastic unit 400 to move along the axial direction Y, thereby better cooperating with the first locking unit 200 and locking the first locking unit 200, further limiting the box cover 20 and preventing it from closing automatically due to vibration.
[0079] In one embodiment, reference continues Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the fixed platform 500 includes a blocking part 520, the blocking part 520 includes a first blocking unit 521, the first blocking unit 521 is disposed at one end of the second locking unit 300 away from the first locking unit 200, the elastic unit 400 at least partially abuts against the first blocking unit 521, and the end of the elastic unit 400 away from the first blocking unit 521 is connected to the second locking unit 300.
[0080] The first blocking unit 521 described above can provide a fulcrum for the elastic unit 400, so as to compress the elastic unit 400 and store energy when the second locking unit 300 approaches, and release the potential energy of the elastic unit 400 when the second locking unit 300 moves away. The above structure is simple, convenient and easy to implement, and can well realize the function of the elastic unit 400.
[0081] In one embodiment, reference continues Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 8 The blocking part 520 shown includes a second blocking unit 522, which is disposed at the end of the second locking unit 300 opposite to the first blocking unit 521. When the housing 40 is opened, the second locking unit 300 is at least partially abutted against the second blocking unit 522. That is, when the first locking unit 200 and the second locking unit 300 are engaged, the second blocking unit 522 can block the second locking unit 300.
[0082] When the elastic unit 400 pushes the second locking unit 300 toward the first locking unit 200, it requires a large impact force, which can easily damage the rotating shaft 10. The second blocking unit 522 here can play a buffering role.
[0083] The first blocking unit 521 and the second blocking unit 522 described above can restrict the second locking unit 300 as a whole within a certain area. Within this area, on the one hand, it can effectively play its role in locking the first locking unit 200, and on the other hand, it will not damage other components.
[0084] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the second locking unit 300 includes a snap-fit member 330 and a locking body 340 connected to each other. The snap-fit member 330 extends into the groove 510 and is snapped onto the groove 510. The snap-fit member 330 can be moved along the axial direction Y of the groove 510. The elastic unit 400 is connected to the locking body 340.
[0085] Based on the above configuration, on the one hand, the snap-fit component 330 can cooperate with the groove 510 to drive the locking body 340 to move closer to or further away from the first locking unit 200. On the other hand, the snap-fit component 330 can fix itself inside the groove 510, thereby fixing the second locking unit 300 as a whole on the fixing platform 500.
[0086] In one embodiment, reference Figures 1-8 As shown, the second locking unit 300 includes a blocking member 350, which is connected to the locking body 340 and spaced apart from the latching member 330. The latching member 330 includes a hook portion 331. When the latching member 330 is engaged in the groove 510, the hook portion 331 is disposed on the lower surface of the fixing platform 500, and the blocking member 350 is disposed on the upper surface of the fixing platform 500.
[0087] Based on the above configuration, the hook 331 and the stop 350 are located on the lower surface of the fixed platform 500 and the upper surface of the fixed platform 500, respectively. Therefore, the second locking unit 300 can be effectively fixed to the fixed platform 500, preventing the second locking unit 300 from coming out.
[0088] In addition, this structure also allows the second locking unit 300 to fit well with the groove 510, enabling it to move back and forth smoothly without falling off.
[0089] This application also proposes a vehicle that includes the dashboard 50 described in any of the preceding claims.
[0090] The vehicle can be a car, truck, van, SUV, or any other type of vehicle equipped with a battery. In one embodiment, the vehicle is a high-voltage traction battery-powered electric vehicle (e.g., a battery electric vehicle (BEV), a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), etc.). In another embodiment, the vehicle is an autonomous vehicle, wherein the vehicle's maneuverability is controlled without direct input from a human driver.
[0091] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
