Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle interior technology, and in particular to a sub-instrument panel structure and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of society and the economy, people have increasingly higher requirements for the refinement of car interiors. Improving the comfort and refinement of the overall vehicle interior has become a development trend. In the traditional design of second-row tables, they are usually placed on the back of the front seats, which is easily affected by the adjustment of the front seats, resulting in poor usability. Some tables are also placed in the armrest box of the sub-dashboard, which takes up the internal space of the sub-dashboard and affects the storage space, which is not conducive to improving the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application aims to propose a sub-dashboard structure to improve the user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows: A sub-instrument structure includes a sub-instrument body having a receiving cavity, a table assembly slidably disposed within the receiving cavity, and a locking part disposed between the table assembly and the sub-instrument body; The locking part can lock the table assembly in the receiving cavity. One end of the sub-dashboard body is provided with an opening, and the unlocked table assembly can enter and exit the receiving cavity through the opening. The table assembly includes a base slidably mounted on the sub-instrument body, a first drive unit mounted on the base, and a table mounted on the drive end of the first drive unit, wherein the first drive unit is capable of driving the table to rise and fall.

[0005] Furthermore, a second driving unit is provided on the driving end of the first driving unit, and the table is disposed on the driving end of the second driving unit; the second driving unit can drive the table to rotate a preset angle.

[0006] Furthermore, an elastic portion is provided between the base and the sub-dashboard body. The elastic portion can store energy when the table assembly is locked in the receiving cavity; the release of energy by the elastic portion can drive the unlocked table assembly to slide out of the receiving cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, the tabletop includes a main board disposed on the drive end of the first drive unit, and a secondary board rotatably disposed on at least one side of the main board via a hinge; the secondary board has a stowed state folded above the main board and an unfolded state unfolded to one side of the main board, and the hinge can hold the secondary board in the unfolded state.

[0008] Furthermore, the hinge portion includes a first connector disposed on the main board, a second connector disposed on the sub-board, and an intermediate member whose two ends are respectively rotatably connected to the first connector and the second connector; in the unfolded state, the first connector and the second connector restrict the sub-board from rotating downward.

[0009] Furthermore, the base is provided with a storage slot; and / or, the elastic part includes a coil spring disposed between the base and the sub-dashboard body.

[0010] Furthermore, at least a portion of the storage compartment is located below the tabletop; and / or, the sub-boards are two located on opposite sides of the main board.

[0011] Furthermore, a slide rail assembly is provided between the base and the auxiliary instrument body, and there are two slide rail assemblies arranged opposite each other; the two slide rail assemblies are arranged in a V-shape.

[0012] Furthermore, the opening is located at one end of the secondary instrument panel body near the front of the vehicle, and the secondary instrument panel body has a storage cavity located at the other end of the secondary instrument panel body; and / or, the locking part includes a push-button spring latch provided on the secondary instrument panel body, and a locking tongue provided on the table assembly.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages: (1) The sub-instrument structure described in this application can save space on the top of the sub-instrument, allowing other structures to be installed on the top of the sub-instrument. A table assembly is slidably installed in the receiving cavity of the sub-instrument body, and a locking part is provided to lock the table assembly within the receiving cavity. When not in use, the table assembly can be locked in the receiving cavity without interfering with other operations by the occupants. Furthermore, the table in the table assembly can be driven to rise and fall by the first drive part, allowing it to descend and reduce its space occupation within the sub-instrument, facilitating its arrangement. It also allows the table assembly to slide out and then rise, improving passenger comfort and enhancing the user experience.

[0014] (2) By setting a second drive unit on the drive end of the first drive unit, the table is set on the drive end of the second drive unit, and the second drive unit can drive the table to rotate at a preset angle, which makes the table easy to store, further reduces the space required for storing the table, makes the table easy to arrange, and also allows the table to obtain a larger area in the width direction of the whole vehicle by rotating the table, which can also improve the user experience.

[0015] (3) By setting an elastic part between the base and the sub-dashboard body, which can store energy while the table assembly is locked in the receiving cavity, and the release of energy of the elastic part can drive the unlocked table assembly to slide out of the receiving cavity without the need for the passenger to pull it manually, the operation of the table assembly can be made convenient, which is conducive to further improving the user experience. At the same time, this structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0016] (4) The tabletop includes a main board and a secondary board that is rotatably disposed on at least one side of the main board via a hinge. The secondary board has a folded-over-the-main board storage state and an unfolded-to-one-side main board state, and the hinge can hold the secondary board in the unfolded state. This structure makes the tabletop compact, reduces the space required for storage, and makes the tabletop easy to arrange. The foldable secondary board design also allows for flexible adjustment of the tabletop area according to actual scenarios, meeting different usage needs and improving the user experience.

[0017] (5) The hinge part includes a first connector, a second connector, and an intermediate part whose two ends are rotatably connected to the first connector and the second connector, respectively. In the unfolded state, the first connector and the second connector abut against each other, restricting the downward rotation of the sub-plate. The abutting design of the first connector and the second connector ensures reliable support of the hinge part and guarantees the flatness of the sub-plate when unfolded, preventing items from slipping and improving the user experience. At the same time, no additional limiting structure is required, and the structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0018] (6) By setting a storage slot on the base, the storage space inside the vehicle can be increased, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate and ease of use of the sub-instrument panel body space. The elastic part includes a coil spring located between the base and the sub-instrument panel body. The coil spring has a compact structure, can adapt to narrow spaces, and has good stability and large load-bearing capacity, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the elastic part, thereby improving the overall user experience. At the same time, the coil spring has a simple structure, is easy to design and implement, and has low cost, which is conducive to the cost control of the whole vehicle.

[0019] (7) At least some of the storage compartments are located under the table, which can increase storage space while reducing the space occupied by the base in the front and rear directions of the vehicle, making it easier to arrange on the sub-dashboard. Setting the sub-boards on two opposite sides of the main board can effectively expand the area of ​​the table, increase the space for placing items, and allow the unfolding method to be adjusted according to needs, which is beneficial for adapting to different scenarios and improving the user experience.

[0020] (8) A slide rail assembly is provided between the base and the sub-instrument body. The slide rail assembly consists of two opposing and V-shaped components, which can improve the stability of sliding. It can also utilize the V-shaped side walls to prevent the base from swaying left and right due to vehicle vibration, causing items to slip or generate noise, which is beneficial to ensuring the user experience.

[0021] (9) The opening is located at the end of the secondary instrument panel body near the front of the vehicle, which does not affect the space at the top of the secondary instrument panel, allowing for the installation of control buttons and other structures at the top of the secondary instrument panel. The storage cavity on the secondary instrument panel body is located at the other end of the secondary instrument panel body, which can prevent the table panel assembly from interfering with the storage cavity, allowing it to have a larger storage space, improving the space utilization rate inside the secondary instrument panel body, and helping to improve the user experience.

[0022] The locking mechanism includes a push-button spring latch on the instrument panel and a locking tongue on the table assembly. This makes the locking mechanism easy and convenient to operate, and ensures a secure and reliable lock. It effectively prevents the table from loosening while the vehicle is in motion, and unlocking is easy, improving the convenience and safety of use and enhancing the user experience.

[0023] Another object of this application is to provide a vehicle having a sub-instrument panel structure as described above.

[0024] The vehicle described in this application, by setting the sub-dashboard structure as described above, can increase its functionality, thereby improving the user experience and enhancing the vehicle's market competitiveness. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0029] Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly 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 between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in light of the specific circumstances.

[0030] In this application, 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 application. 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.

[0031] The present application 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.

[0032] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a sub-instrument panel structure suitable for vehicle interiors. Furthermore, the sub-instrument panel structure of this embodiment, through its innovative structural design, can save space within the sub-instrument panel, improve the utilization rate of interior space, and enhance the user experience.

[0033] In related technologies, with the continuous development of society and the economy, people have increasingly higher requirements for the refinement of car interiors. Improving the comfort and refinement of the overall vehicle interior has become a development trend. In the traditional design of second-row tables, they are usually placed on the back of the front seats, which is easily affected by the adjustment of the front seats, resulting in poor usability. Some tables are also placed in the armrest box of the sub-dashboard, which occupies the internal space of the sub-dashboard, affecting storage space and hindering the improvement of the user experience.

[0034] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of related technologies, the sub-instrument structure of this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 17 As shown, the overall design includes a sub-instrument body 100 with a receiving cavity 101, a table assembly slidably disposed in the receiving cavity 101, and a locking part 400 disposed between the table assembly and the sub-instrument body 100.

[0035] The locking part 400 can lock the table assembly within the receiving cavity 101. One end of the sub-instrument body 100 has an opening 102, through which the unlocked table assembly can enter and exit the receiving cavity 101. The table assembly includes a base 200 slidably mounted on the sub-instrument body 100, a first drive part 201 mounted on the base 200, and a table 300 mounted on the drive end of the first drive part 201. The first drive part 201 can drive the table 300 to rise and fall.

[0036] Therefore, by providing an opening 102 at one end of the sub-instrument panel body 100, space at the top of the sub-instrument panel can be saved, allowing other structures to be installed on top of the sub-instrument panel. A table assembly is slidably disposed within the receiving cavity 101 of the sub-instrument panel body 100, and a locking part 400 locks the table assembly within the receiving cavity 101. When not in use, the table assembly can be locked within the receiving cavity without interfering with other operations by the occupants. Furthermore, the table 300 in the table assembly can be raised and lowered by the first drive part 201. It can be lowered to reduce its space occupation within the sub-instrument panel, facilitating its placement, and can also be raised after sliding out, improving passenger comfort and enhancing the user experience.

[0037] Based on the above overview, combined with Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, specifically, any related structures not mentioned in the sub-instrument body 100 of this embodiment can refer to the related structures in existing sub-instrument bodies. In one exemplary embodiment, the sub-instrument body 100 includes an outer shell 104, a frame 105 disposed inside the outer shell 104, and a receiving cavity 101 defined on the frame 105. The structures of the outer shell 104 and the frame 105 of the sub-instrument body 100 can be referred to in related technologies and will not be described in detail here; it is sufficient that the receiving cavity 101 is defined on the frame 105.

[0038] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the base 200 in this embodiment has a trim panel 204 on one side of the opening 102 of the receiving cavity 101. When the base 200 is inside the receiving cavity 101, the trim panel 204 can seal the opening 102 to prevent debris from entering the receiving cavity 101, causing noise or affecting the normal operation of the table assembly. When the trim panel 204 seals the opening 102, the plane of the trim panel 204 can be flush with the sub-dashboard body 100, which helps to enhance the refinement of the interior.

[0039] The aforementioned first drive unit 201 can refer to the relevant structures of hydraulic cylinders known to those skilled in the art, in order to reduce noise generated during lifting while providing good support, thereby improving the NVH performance of the entire vehicle. Of course, it can not only be a hydraulic cylinder, but also a lifting mechanism such as a connecting rod, gear, or slider, but this may result in a more complex structure for the first drive unit 201 and make it difficult to control noise generation.

[0040] Combination Figures 7 to 10 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, a second drive unit 202 is provided on the drive end of the first drive unit 201, and the table 300 is disposed on the drive end of the second drive unit 202. The second drive unit 202 can drive the table 300 to rotate by a preset angle. This arrangement makes the table 300 easy to store, further reducing the space required for storage. It also makes the table 300 easy to arrange and allows it to have a larger surface area across the width of the vehicle by rotating it, thus improving the user experience.

[0041] In specific implementation, the second drive unit 202 of this embodiment can be a stepper motor, which is well known to those skilled in the art. Of course, it can also be other motors, as long as they can drive the tabletop 300 to rotate by a preset angle. In detail, the first drive unit 201 has a mounting groove 2011 at its drive end, and the aforementioned second drive unit 202 is disposed in the mounting groove 2011, with its drive end connected to the tabletop 300, capable of driving the tabletop 300 to rotate. The aforementioned preset angle is 90° to increase the length of the tabletop 300 after it is unfolded.

[0042] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, an elastic portion 500 is provided between the base 200 and the sub-dashboard body 100. The elastic portion 500 can store energy while the table assembly is locked within the receiving cavity 101, and releasing this energy can cause the unlocked table assembly to slide out of the receiving cavity 101. The advantage of this design is that it eliminates the need for manual pulling by the passenger, making the table assembly easy to operate and further enhancing the user experience. At the same time, this structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0043] In specific implementation, the elastic part 500 described in this embodiment can also be replaced by a linear power output device such as a cylinder, which is well known to those skilled in the art, as long as it can drive the unlocked table assembly to slide out of the receiving cavity 101. Further details will not be provided here.

[0044] Combination Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 as well as Figure 13 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the tabletop 300 includes a main board 301 disposed on the drive end of the first drive unit 201, and a secondary board 302 rotatably disposed on at least one side of the main board 301 via a hinge portion 600. The secondary board 302 has a stowed state folded above the main board 301 and an unfolded state unfolded to one side of the main board 301, and the hinge portion 600 is capable of holding the secondary board 302 in the unfolded state.

[0045] This design allows for a compact tabletop 300 structure, reducing the space required for storage and making it easier to arrange. The foldable sub-board 302 design also allows for flexible adjustment of the tabletop 300's area to suit different usage needs, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0046] In specific implementation, this embodiment includes two hinge portions 600 arranged along the width direction of the tabletop 300. This ensures the reliability of the connection structure while reducing the impact of the hinge structure on the appearance of the tabletop 300, thereby enhancing the refinement of the vehicle interior and improving user satisfaction. Of course, this embodiment can also use only one hinge portion 600, which may weaken the structural strength; or it can use three or more, which may increase costs or affect the appearance of the tabletop 300.

[0047] Combination Figures 12 to 17 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the hinge portion 600 includes a first connector 601 disposed on the main board 301, a second connector 602 disposed on the sub-board 302, and an intermediate member 603 whose two ends are respectively rotatably connected to the first connector 601 and the second connector 602. In the unfolded state, the first connector 601 abuts against the second connector 602 and restricts the sub-board 302 from rotating downward.

[0048] Thus, the abutting design of the first connector 601 and the second connector 602 ensures reliable support for the hinge 600 and guarantees the flatness of the sub-plate 302 when unfolded, preventing items from slipping and improving the user experience. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for additional limiting structures, and the structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0049] In specific implementation, the first connector 601 and the second connector 602 of the hinge portion 600 in this embodiment each include a first connecting portion 604 for connecting to the main board 301 or the sub-board 302. The first connecting portion 604 is plate-shaped and has a limiting boss 6041. Both the main board 301 and the sub-board 302 have grooves 303 that fit together. When the limiting boss 6041 is inserted into the groove 303, it can position the first connecting portion 604 to the main board 301 or the sub-board 302, thereby facilitating subsequent assembly.

[0050] The main board 301 and the sub-board 302 have countersunk holes 304 and through holes 305 coaxially arranged on the side away from the first connecting portion 604. A threaded hole 6042 is provided on the limiting boss 6041. A bolt 606 passes through the through hole 305 and is screwed into the threaded hole 6042 on the limiting boss 6041 to connect the main board 301 and the sub-board 302 to the corresponding first connecting portion 604. The countersunk hole 304 is designed to accommodate the bolt head 606 and ensure that the bolt head is flush with the surface of the main board 301 or the sub-board 302, thus maintaining the refined appearance of the tabletop 300.

[0051] In addition, the first connector 601 and the second connector 602 also include a second connecting portion 605 for connecting with the intermediate member 603. The second connecting portion 605 is elongated, with one side fixed to the first connecting portion 604. On the side away from the first connecting portion 604, there is a receiving groove 6051 for accommodating the intermediate member 603. The two side walls of the receiving groove 6051 in the length direction are provided with first through holes 6052 for inserting pins 607, so as to realize the rotatable connection between the first connector 601 or the second connector 602 and the intermediate member 603. On the side of the second connecting portion 605 corresponding to the other connector, there is an abutment protrusion 6053 for restricting the rotation of the sub-plate 302. In the unfolded state, the two abutment protrusions 6053 can abut against each other to restrict the sub-plate 302 from rotating downward.

[0052] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the intermediate component 603 described in this embodiment has a long strip-shaped cross-section, with arc surfaces 6032 at both ends, and grooves 6033 spaced apart on the arc surfaces 6032. The intermediate component 603 also has second through holes 6031 at both ends for inserting pins 607. The pins 607 can pass through the first through hole 6052 and the second through hole 6031, rotatably connecting the first connecting component 601 or the second connecting component 602 to the intermediate component 603. It should be noted that any unmentioned structures of the hinge portion 600 in this embodiment can be referenced from existing hinge structures, and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Combination Figure 3 as well as Figure 11 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the base 200 is provided with a storage compartment 203. This arrangement increases the storage space inside the vehicle, thereby improving the utilization rate and ease of use of the space in the sub-dashboard body 100.

[0054] In specific implementation, the storage compartment 203 in this embodiment can be a cup holder to prevent the cup from tipping over due to vibrations in the vehicle, which could cause liquid to spill out and affect driving safety. There are two cup holders arranged along the left and right directions of the vehicle, and the relevant structure of the cup holders can be referred to the relevant cup holder structures known to those skilled in the art.

[0055] Of course, the storage compartment 203 in this embodiment can also take other shapes, and can be adapted to meet actual usage needs and design requirements, which will not be elaborated here.

[0056] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 11As shown, the elastic part 500 includes a coil spring 501 disposed between the base 200 and the sub-instrument panel body 100. The advantage of this arrangement is that the coil spring 501 has a compact structure, can adapt to confined spaces, and possesses good stability and a large load-bearing capacity, which helps improve the reliability of the elastic part 500, thereby enhancing the overall user experience. At the same time, the coil spring 501 has a simple structure, is easy to design and implement, and has low cost, which helps control the overall vehicle cost.

[0057] Furthermore, in a specific implementation, the elastic part 500 of this embodiment further includes a coil spring shaft 502 for fixing the coil spring 501, and a bearing seat 504 disposed at the bottom of the base 200 and extending rearward along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The coil spring shaft 502 is engaged with the bearing seat 504 and is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 504.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the coil spring 501 is connected to the sub-instrument panel body 100, positioning grooves 5011 are provided on both sides of the end of the coil spring 501 connected to the sub-instrument panel body 100. A connecting seat 503 is provided on the side of the sub-instrument panel body near the front of the vehicle. The connecting seat 503 includes a snap-fit ​​groove 5031 that is spaced apart along the left-right direction of the whole vehicle and extends along the front-rear direction of the whole vehicle. The opening of the snap-fit ​​groove 5031 is opened on the side of the front of the vehicle. The side wall of the positioning groove 5011 can abut against the bottom wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 5031, thereby realizing the connection between the coil spring 501 and the instrument panel body.

[0059] In specific operation, as the base 200 is gradually pushed into the receiving cavity 101, the bearing seat 504 is gradually pushed away from the connecting seat 503, causing the coil spring 501 to be gradually stretched, thus storing energy in the coil spring 501. When the base 200 is in the receiving cavity 101 and locked in the receiving cavity 101 by the locking part 400...

[0060] At this time, the elastic part 500 is in an energy storage state, that is, the coil spring 501 is stretched. When the locking part 400 is unlocked, the elastic part 500 is in an energy release state, and the coil spring 501 will pull the shaft seat 504 close to the connecting seat 503, so that the base 200 can be driven to slide out of the receiving cavity 101, thereby realizing that the table assembly can automatically slide out of the receiving cavity 101 after unlocking.

[0061] Combination Figures 8 to 9 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, at least a portion of the storage compartment 203 is located below the table 300. This increases storage space while reducing the space occupied by the base 200 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, facilitating its placement on the sub-dashboard body 100.

[0062] In specific implementation, the storage compartment 203 in this embodiment is located below the table 300, which facilitates the user's access to and from items and reduces the space occupied by the base 200 in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle. Of course, the storage compartment 203 can also be entirely located below the table 300, but the table 300 may affect the access to and from items in the storage compartment 203, thereby affecting the improvement of the user experience.

[0063] Combination Figure 9 , Figure 12 as well as Figure 13 As shown, the secondary boards 302 are located on two opposite sides of the main board 301, which can effectively expand the area of ​​the tabletop 300, increase the space for placing items, and adjust the unfolding method according to needs, which is beneficial for adapting to different scenarios and improving the user experience.

[0064] In specific implementation, when the secondary board 302 is folded above the main board 301 in its stowed state, each of the two secondary boards 302 has a handle on its opposite side for easy operation. This handle includes a first groove 3021 extending along the thickness direction of the secondary board 302, and a second groove 3022 communicating with the first groove 3021 and extending along the width direction of the secondary board 302. This design facilitates user operation while avoiding the need for additional parts that could affect the flatness of the desktop, thus improving both the user experience and the perceived quality of the desktop 300.

[0065] Combination Figure 2 as well as Figure 11 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, a slide rail assembly 700 is provided between the base 200 and the sub-instrument body. Two slide rail assemblies 700 are arranged opposite each other in a V-shape. This arrangement improves sliding stability and, by utilizing the V-shaped side walls, prevents the base 200 from swaying left and right due to vehicle vibrations, thus avoiding items slipping or noise, and ultimately ensuring a better user experience.

[0066] Of course, in specific implementation, the specific structure of the slide rail assembly 700 in this embodiment can refer to the existing slide rail structure.

[0067] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the opening 102 is located at the end of the secondary instrument panel body near the front of the vehicle, without affecting the space at the top of the secondary instrument panel, allowing for the installation of structures such as control buttons at the top of the secondary instrument panel. The secondary instrument panel body 100 has a storage cavity 103 located at the other end of the secondary instrument panel body 100, which prevents the table assembly from interfering with the storage cavity 103, allowing for a larger storage space, improving the space utilization within the secondary instrument panel body 100, and enhancing the user experience.

[0068] In practical implementation, the top of the sub-dashboard body is also provided with a first clearance opening 106 for installing the control panel and a second clearance opening 107 for installing control buttons. These buttons can be connected to the first drive unit 201 or the second drive unit 202 to control the raising and lowering of the table, allowing users to easily control the table's height and improve usability. When a control button is pressed, a signal is transmitted to the vehicle control unit. The vehicle control unit first sends a command to the second drive unit 202, causing the table 300 to rotate a predetermined angle. After completion, the second drive unit 202 sends feedback to the vehicle control unit, which then sends a command to the first drive unit 201 to raise the table 300. Once the predetermined height is reached, the first drive unit sends feedback to the vehicle control unit, completing the action.

[0069] The specific structures of the control screen and control buttons can refer to existing technologies. The electrical connections between the first drive unit, the second drive unit, the buttons, and the vehicle control unit can also refer to existing related technologies and will not be elaborated upon here. Of course, other related structures that can improve the user experience can also be incorporated.

[0070] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the locking part 400 includes a push-button spring latch 401 on the sub-instrument body and a locking tongue 402 on the table assembly. This makes the locking part 400 easy and convenient to operate, and provides a secure and reliable lock, effectively preventing the table 300 from loosening during vehicle operation. Unlocking is also easy, improving convenience and safety, and enhancing the user experience.

[0071] In specific implementation, the push-type spring latch 401 in this embodiment can be described in detail with reference to the relevant structures of push-type spring latches 401 well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be repeated here. Of course, it can also be replaced with other types of latches, such as electromagnetic locks, but this may increase space occupation and increase costs.

[0072] It is worth noting that, regarding the sub-dashboard structure of this embodiment, based on the above exemplary implementations, in specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment, it is still composed of... Figures 1 to 17 As shown, it may include, for example, a sub-instrument body 100 having a receiving cavity 101, a table assembly slidably disposed within the receiving cavity 101, and a locking portion 400 disposed between the table assembly and the sub-instrument body 100.

[0073] The locking part 400 can lock the table assembly within the receiving cavity 101. One end of the sub-instrument panel body 100 has an opening 102, through which the unlocked table assembly can enter and exit the receiving cavity 101. The table assembly includes a base 200 slidably mounted on the sub-instrument panel body 100, a first drive part 201 mounted on the base 200, and a table 300 mounted on the drive end of the first drive part 201. The first drive part 201 can drive the table 300 to rise and fall. A second drive part 202 is mounted on the drive end of the first drive part 201, and the table 300 is mounted on the drive end of the second drive part 202. The second drive part 202 can drive the table 300 to rotate by a preset angle.

[0074] An elastic portion 500 is provided between the base 200 and the sub-instrument panel body 100. The elastic portion 500 can store energy when the table assembly is locked in the receiving cavity 101. Releasing the energy of the elastic portion 500 can drive the unlocked table assembly to slide out of the receiving cavity 101. The table 300 includes a main board 301 disposed on the drive end of the first drive unit 201, and a sub-board 302 rotatably disposed on at least one side of the main board 301 via a hinge portion 600. The sub-board 302 has a folded-over-the-main board 301 and an unfolded-to-one-side main board 301 state, and the hinge portion 600 can hold the sub-board 302 in the unfolded state. The hinge portion 600 includes a first connector 601 disposed on the main board 301, a second connector 602 disposed on the sub-board 302, and an intermediate member 603 whose two ends are respectively rotatably connected to the first connector 601 and the second connector 602. In the unfolded state, the first connector 601 abuts against the second connector 602, restricting the sub-plate 302 from rotating downwards.

[0075] The base 200 has a storage compartment 203. The elastic part 500 includes a coil spring 501 located between the base 200 and the sub-instrument panel body 100. The storage compartment 203 is located below the tabletop 300. Two sub-plates 302 are located on opposite sides of the main plate 301. A slide rail assembly 700 is provided between the base 200 and the sub-instrument panel body; two slide rail assemblies 700 are arranged opposite each other in a V-shape. An opening 102 is located at the end of the sub-instrument panel body near the front of the vehicle, and the sub-instrument panel body 100 has a storage cavity 103 located at the other end of the sub-instrument panel body 100. The locking part 400 includes a push-button spring latch 401 on the sub-instrument panel body and a locking tongue 402 on the tabletop assembly.

Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, the beneficial effects brought about by the design of the sub-instrument body 100, the table assembly, and the locking part 400, etc., can also be referred to the descriptions in the above-described exemplary embodiments.

[0077] In this embodiment, the sub-instrument structure is designed so that, in practical use, simply pressing the base 200 unlocks the push-button spring latch 401 on the sub-instrument body. At this time, the coil spring 501 releases its energy, causing the unlocked base 200 to slide out of the receiving cavity 101. Once the second drive unit 202 is triggered, it causes the tabletop 300 to rotate 90°. Subsequently, the first drive unit 201 raises and lowers the tabletop 300 to a convenient position. Finally, the user can unfold the sub-board 302 folded onto the main board 301 as needed for placing items.

[0078] The sub-instrument structure of this embodiment adopts the above design. By setting a table assembly that is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity 101 of the sub-instrument body 100, and enabling the table 300 to be driven to rise and fall by the first drive unit 201, it can save space in the sub-instrument and improve the utilization rate of vehicle interior space. At the same time, it can also make the table assembly adaptable to the usage needs of different users, which is conducive to improving the user experience.
