Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle-mounted tool technology, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted flashlight assembly and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Flashlights are essential lighting tools that people frequently use in daily life or when going out. Therefore, equipping vehicles with flashlights has become a must-do for people driving.

[0003] However, traditional car flashlight installations suffer from the following problems. First, they are inconvenient to access. Traditional car flashlights are typically placed in storage compartments such as the armrest box, glove box, or door pockets. These locations offer poor visibility, and other items are often stored in these areas, making the flashlight difficult to find in an emergency. Second, charging is inconvenient. Car flashlights usually rely on the vehicle's USB ports for charging. This method is limited by the number and location of USB ports, and the charging cable is prone to tangling, affecting the tidiness of the car interior. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application aims to propose a vehicle flashlight assembly to improve the ease of use of vehicle flashlights in terms of retrieval, placement, and charging.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] A vehicle-mounted flashlight assembly includes a flashlight body and a charging and storage section mounted on a base component within the vehicle's passenger compartment. The flashlight body has a charging port on its rear end face. The charging and storage section includes a storage groove formed on the outer plate of the base component and a charging unit disposed inside the base component. Corresponding to the charging port, a charging pin is provided on the bottom plate of the storage groove, leading from the charging unit. The flashlight body can be inserted into the storage groove, and the charging pin is connected to the charging port.

[0007] Furthermore, the interior of the basic component has an inner cavity corresponding to the bottom plate. The charging unit includes a fixed bracket disposed in the inner cavity and a charging module clamped and fixed between the fixed bracket and the bottom plate. The bottom plate has pin holes, and the charging pins are disposed on the charging module and protrude into the storage groove through the pin holes.

[0008] Furthermore, a flashlight-side adsorption part is provided on the tail end face, and a storage-side adsorption part is provided on the side of the fixed bracket facing the bottom plate corresponding to the flashlight-side adsorption part. The charging module and the bottom plate are respectively provided with adsorption part through holes and adsorption windows. The storage-side adsorption part is arranged in the adsorption window through the adsorption part through holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the flashlight-side adsorption part includes a first magnetic body and a first screw for screwing the first magnetic body to the tail end face; the storage-side adsorption part includes a second magnetic body and a second screw for screwing the second magnetic body to the fixing bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixed bracket is integrally formed with an annular limiting rib, and the second magnetic attractor is disposed in the limiting groove surrounded by the limiting rib.

[0011] Furthermore, a charging positioning hole is provided on the tail end face, and a corresponding positioning post is provided on the bottom plate; when the positioning post is aligned and inserted into the charging positioning hole, the charging pin is simultaneously aligned and inserted into the charging port.

[0012] Furthermore, the flashlight body is cylindrical, and the charging positioning holes are arranged in multiple circular intervals around the center of the tail end face, and multiple positioning posts are correspondingly provided on the bottom plate.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages:

[0014] (1) The vehicle flashlight assembly of this application has a dedicated storage and charging section in the vehicle's passenger compartment. The storage slot of the storage and charging section allows for the fixed placement of the flashlight body, which can be quickly retrieved during use. At the same time, the charging pins on the bottom plate of the storage slot, in conjunction with the charging port on the flashlight body, allow the charging circuit to be connected while the flashlight body is placed in the storage slot, thus facilitating the charging of the flashlight body and improving the convenience of vehicle flashlights in terms of retrieval and charging.

[0015] (2) The internal cavity formed by the internal space of the charging unit can hide the charging unit inside the basic component, preventing the charging unit from being exposed in the passenger compartment; then the charging module is clamped and fixed between the fixed bracket and the bottom plate by the fixed bracket fixed in the internal cavity, which not only completes the installation and fixing of the charging module, but also allows the charging pins led out from the charging module to be exposed into the storage slot through the pin holes set on the bottom plate, thereby realizing the charging function of the flashlight body.

[0016] (3) Based on the setting of the fixed bracket, a storage-side adsorption part is set on the fixed bracket, and a flashlight-side adsorption part is set on the tail end face. When the flashlight body is placed in the storage slot, the flashlight body can be automatically adsorbed into place and prevent the flashlight body from falling out of the storage slot. At the same time, the storage-side adsorption part is fixed on the side of the fixed bracket facing the bottom plate, and the storage-side adsorption part is exposed in the adsorption window through the adsorption part through the adsorption part through the charging module and the adsorption window on the bottom plate, so as to realize the adsorption and fixing function of the flashlight body; moreover, this setting avoids the situation of setting the installation structure on the plate of the base component, ensuring the integrity of the original structure of the base component, and also providing a solid installation foundation for the setting of the storage-side adsorption part. (4) The magnetic body used for adsorption is screwed and fixed to the relevant components by screw connection, which has the characteristics of firm installation and convenient operation.

[0017] (5) A ring-shaped limiting rib is set on the part of the fixed bracket where the storage side adsorption part needs to be set, thereby forming a limiting groove that can limit the storage side adsorption part to a fixed position. This not only helps to quickly and accurately install the storage side adsorption part to the required position, but also ensures the stability of the installation of the storage side adsorption part.

[0018] (6) By setting a charging positioning hole on the end face of the tail and setting a corresponding positioning post on the bottom plate, the positioning and cooperation of the positioning post and the charging positioning hole can ensure that the charging pin and the charging port are aligned and plugged in when the flashlight body is put into the storage slot, thus preventing damage that may be caused by misalignment of the charging pin and the charging port.

[0019] (7) The flashlight body adopts a cylindrical structure, and the positioning structure between the bottom plate and the tail end face is set into multiple sets. When the positioning post is not aligned with the corresponding charging positioning hole, the end of each positioning post can abut against the surface of the tail end face, forming a relatively balanced support for the flashlight body, thus making the process of rotating the flashlight body to find the alignment position smoother. The positioning post and the charging positioning hole are set in a one-to-one correspondence form to ensure that the charging pins and charging sockets are accurately connected when each set of positioning structures is aligned.

[0020] Another object of this application is to provide a vehicle equipped with the vehicle-mounted flashlight assembly described in this application.

[0021] Furthermore, the storage slot is formed on the outer panel of the sub-instrument assembly, the charging unit is located inside the sub-instrument assembly, and the sub-instrument assembly constitutes the basic component of the vehicle flashlight assembly.

[0022] Furthermore, the sub-instrument assembly includes a control panel and side trim panels disposed on the left and right sides of the control panel; the portion of the control panel near the side trim panel is formed with an upwardly arched protrusion, and a side support plate for the side trim panel to overlap is provided on the lower outer side of the protrusion; the top of the side trim panel is provided with a top overlapping plate body that overlaps the side support plate; the storage groove is formed on the top overlapping plate body, and the portion of the protrusion connected to the side upright plate of the side support plate constitutes the bottom plate body.

[0023] The vehicle described in this application possesses the technical advantages of the aforementioned vehicle-mounted flashlight assembly. Furthermore, using the sub-dashboard assembly as the basic component of the vehicle-mounted flashlight assembly is conveniently positioned, allowing for easy access and placement; it also facilitates the machining of storage slots on the outer panel of the sub-dashboard assembly to accommodate the flashlight itself.

[0024] Meanwhile, the control panel in the sub-dashboard assembly serves as the component for setting up the storage slot, which is centrally located and easier for people to access and operate. Given that a row of control switches is usually set in the middle of the control panel, a protrusion is set near the side trim panel of the control panel. This allows a side upright panel structure that can be used as the bottom panel to be formed on the outer side of the protrusion. Moreover, due to the arched design of the protrusion, an inner cavity for mounting and fixing brackets can be formed inside the control panel, providing good space for the installation and arrangement of the charging unit.

[0039] To make the technical solution and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be stated in the description of this application that if terms indicating orientation or positional relationship, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "inner," and "outer," appear, they are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this application and for clarity and conciseness of expression, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed or operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. Taking the vehicle described in this application as an example, the directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" used in the embodiments are defined based on the vehicle's vertical direction (also known as the height direction), horizontal direction (also known as the width direction), and front-back direction (also known as the length direction). Specifically, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the X direction is the vehicle's front-back direction, where the side pointed by the arrow is "front," and the opposite is "rear." The Y direction is the vehicle's horizontal direction, where the side pointed by the arrow is "left," and the opposite is "right." The Z direction is the vehicle's vertical direction, where the side pointed by the arrow is "up," and the opposite is "down." "Inner" and "outer" are defined based on the outline of the corresponding components. For example, "inner" and "outer" are defined based on the outline of the vehicle. The side of the vehicle outline closer to the middle of the vehicle is "inner", and the other side is "outer".

[0042] Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly defined, the terms "installation," "connection," "joint," and "connector" should be interpreted broadly. For example, a connection can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection within 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. The qualifying terms such as "first," "second," "A," "B," "C," and "D" appearing in the description of this application are merely for distinguishing similar features in different locations, attributions, or uses, in order to avoid ambiguity and confusion, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] 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.

[0044] In related technologies, the placement of car flashlights presents the following problems. First, they are inconvenient to access. Traditional car flashlights are usually placed in storage compartments inside the car, such as the armrest box, glove box, or door storage compartments. Flashlights placed in these locations have poor visibility, and these locations are often occupied by other items, making it difficult to find the flashlight in an emergency. Second, charging is inconvenient. Car flashlights typically rely on the vehicle's USB ports for charging. This charging method is limited by the number and location of USB ports, and the charging cable is prone to tangling, affecting the tidiness of the car interior.

[0045] Moreover, traditional car flashlights are inconvenient to use. For example, when camping outdoors, there is no suitable place to put the flashlight, so it needs to be held in the hand, which occupies both hands and makes it impossible to pick up or put down other items or operate them.

[0046] Based on the above analysis, traditional car flashlights have many problems, such as being inconvenient to pick up, difficult to find, not being able to be quickly accessed in emergencies, limited charging methods, and inconvenient to place when camping outdoors, which affect the user experience.

[0047] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the related technologies, this application innovatively proposes a brand-new vehicle flashlight assembly, which can improve the convenience of vehicle flashlights in terms of picking up, placing and charging.

[0048] 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.

[0049] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a vehicle-mounted flashlight assembly, applicable to scenarios where a flashlight is installed in the driver's cabin; one exemplary structure is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown.

[0050] Overall, the vehicle flashlight assembly includes a flashlight body 1 and a charging and storage unit mounted on a base component within the vehicle's passenger compartment. The flashlight body 1 has a charging port 100 on its rear end face 10. The charging and storage unit includes a storage groove 3 formed on the outer plate of the base component and a charging unit 4 located inside the base component. Corresponding to the charging port 100, a charging pin 400 leading from the charging unit 4 is provided on the bottom plate 30 of the storage groove 3. The flashlight body 1 can be inserted into the storage groove 3, and the charging pin 400 can be connected to the charging port 100.

[0051] Based on the above overall design concept, a dedicated storage and charging unit is set up in the vehicle's passenger compartment. The storage slot 3 of the storage and charging unit allows for the fixed placement of the flashlight body 1, which can be quickly retrieved when in use. At the same time, the charging pins 400 set on the bottom plate 30 of the storage slot 3, together with the charging port 100 set on the flashlight body 1, can connect the charging circuit when the flashlight body 1 is placed in the storage slot 3, so as to conveniently charge the flashlight body 1. This improves the ease of use of the vehicle flashlight in terms of retrieval, placement, and charging.

[0052] It should be noted that, based on the above overall design concept, the technical solution of this application can adopt various different specific implementation structures, forms, or configuration sequences. For example, the flashlight-side adsorption part 11 and the storage-side adsorption part 41 described below can be fixed in the storage slot 3 by magnetic adsorption or suction cup adsorption, or by a combination of a slot and a locking protrusion to fix the flashlight body 1 in the storage slot 3, so as to prevent the flashlight body 1 from detaching from the storage slot 3 at will. The basic components can be the sub-dashboard assembly 2, the inner door panel, the inner side panel, etc. in the vehicle. The specific arrangement sequence and assembly method of the storage-side adsorption part 41 on the bottom plate 30 of the storage slot 3, as well as the charging unit 4 and its charging pins 400, can also be flexibly adjusted. For the parts required for the implementation of the overall solution but not covered in the above overall settings, reasonable and flexible designs can be made by referring to mature design methods in the field and the actual situation during implementation, which will not be elaborated here. The specific implementation scheme described below is merely one of the preferred solutions among the many solutions that can be formed by the various combinations and variations described above. In actual implementation, those skilled in the art can make flexible adjustments and improvements based on the actual situation. Obviously, the many solutions that can be formed by the various combinations and variations described above, as well as the specific implementation scheme of this embodiment, are all within the protection scope of this application.

[0053] The following will elaborate on the scheme of this application.

[0054] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, as a preferred exemplary implementation among various feasible solutions, the basic component of this embodiment has an internal cavity 203 corresponding to the bottom plate 30. Accordingly, the charging unit 4 of this embodiment includes a fixing bracket 42 disposed in the internal cavity 203 and a charging module 40 clamped and fixed between the fixing bracket 42 and the bottom plate 30. Meanwhile, the bottom plate 30 has a pin through hole 300, and the charging pins 400 are disposed on the charging module 40 and protrude into the storage groove 3 through the pin through hole 300.

[0055] The inner cavity 203 formed by the internal space of the charging unit can hide the charging unit 4 well inside the base component, preventing the charging unit 4 from being exposed in the passenger compartment. Then, the charging module 40 is clamped and fixed between the fixed bracket 42 and the bottom plate 30 by the fixed bracket 42 fixed in the inner cavity 203. This not only completes the installation and fixation of the charging module 40, but also allows the charging pins 400 led out from the charging module 40 to be exposed into the storage slot 3 through the pin holes 300 provided on the bottom plate 30, thereby realizing the charging function of the flashlight body 1.

[0056] In specific implementation and application, to improve the accuracy of the fixed position of the charging module 40, multiple positioning pins 424 can be set on the fixed bracket 42, and corresponding mounting positioning holes 402 can be set on the charging module 40. By using the insertion and cooperation of the positioning pins 424 and the mounting positioning holes 402, the charging module 40 can be accurately positioned on the fixed bracket 42, preventing the charging module 40 from moving. In order to facilitate the arrangement of the wiring of the charging module 40, the wire harness plug-in 43 for powering the charging module 40 can be set inside the fixed bracket 42, and the connection with the external wiring can be realized through the wire harness through hole 425 set at the rear end of the fixed bracket 42; at the same time, a wire harness through hole 420 is opened on the plate of the fixed bracket 42 where the charging module 40 is mounted, so that the plug-in port of the wire harness plug-in 43 can be inserted into the charging module 40 located outside the charging module 40 after passing through the wire harness through hole 420.

[0057] continue Figure 5 As shown, as a preferred exemplary embodiment among various feasible solutions, the tail end face 10 of this embodiment is provided with a flashlight-side adsorption part 11. Corresponding to the flashlight-side adsorption part 11, a storage-side adsorption part 41 is provided on the side of the fixed bracket 42 facing the bottom plate 30. Moreover, the charging module 40 and the bottom plate 30 are respectively provided with an adsorption part through hole 401 and an adsorption window 302. The storage-side adsorption part 41 is arranged in the adsorption window 302 through the adsorption part through hole 401.

[0058] Based on the fixed bracket 42, a storage-side adsorption part 41 is provided on the fixed bracket 42, and a flashlight-side adsorption part 11 is provided on the tail end face 10. When the flashlight body 1 is placed in the storage slot 3, the flashlight body 1 can be automatically adsorbed into place, preventing the flashlight body 1 from falling out of the storage slot 3. At the same time, the storage-side adsorption part 41 is fixed to the side of the fixed bracket 42 facing the bottom plate 30, and the storage-side adsorption part 41 is exposed in the adsorption window 302 through the adsorption part through hole 401 on the charging module 40 and the adsorption window 302 on the bottom plate 30, realizing the adsorption and fixing function of the flashlight body 1. Moreover, this setting avoids the situation of setting the mounting structure on the plate of the base component, ensuring the integrity of the original structure of the base component, and also providing a solid mounting foundation for the setting of the storage-side adsorption part 41.

[0059] There are, of course, various technical solutions to be chosen for the specific configuration of the flashlight-side suction part 11 and the storage-side suction part 41. For example, a vacuum suction cup can be used with a clean flat surface (such as glass). When the tail end face 10 is set as a mirror structure, a suction cup can be set on the bottom plate 30, so that when the flashlight body 1 is inserted into the storage slot 3, the flashlight body 1 can also be attracted into the storage slot 3. However, in order to obtain a better technical effect, the following configuration is preferred.

[0060] Specifically, as a preferred exemplary embodiment among various feasible solutions, the flashlight-side adsorption part 11 of this embodiment includes a first magnetic 110 and a first screw 111 for screwing the first magnetic 110 onto the tail end face 10; the storage-side adsorption part 41 includes a second magnetic 410 and a second screw 411 for screwing the second magnetic 410 onto the fixing bracket 42. Using screws to screw the magnetic 110 onto the relevant components provides the advantages of secure installation and convenient operation.

[0061] In the above-mentioned configuration, preferably, the first magnetic accumulator 110 is made of a magnet in the shape of a ring, and a first washer 112 is provided for the first screw 111. The first magnetic accumulator 110 is then fixedly installed at the middle position of the tail end face 10 of the flashlight body 1. The second magnetic accumulator 410 of the storage side adsorption part 41 can be made of iron in the shape of a ring, and a second washer 412 is provided for the second screw 411 to fix the second magnetic accumulator 410 to the corresponding position on the fixing bracket 42. To facilitate the screwing of the second screw 411, a screw hole 423 should be provided on the fixing bracket 42. When the fixing bracket 42 is provided with the limiting rib 421, the screw hole 423 should be located at the center of the limiting groove 422 formed by the limiting rib 421. To improve the structural stability of this position, reinforcing ribs, reinforcing brackets, or other structures can also be provided on the inner side of the plate at this location.

[0062] Based on the above configuration, the fixed bracket 42 in this embodiment also has an annular limiting rib 421 integrally formed on it, and the second magnetic absorbing body 410 is disposed within the limiting groove 422 formed by the limiting rib 421. The annular limiting rib 421 is provided on the fixed bracket 42 at the location where the storage-side adsorption part 41 needs to be installed, thereby forming the limiting groove 422 that can limit the storage-side adsorption part 41 to a fixed position. This not only facilitates the quick and accurate installation of the storage-side adsorption part 41 to the required position, but also ensures the stability of the installation of the storage-side adsorption part 41.

[0063] In addition, to achieve accurate positioning between the tail end face 10 and the bottom plate 30, the tail end face 10 of the flashlight body 1 in this embodiment is provided with a charging positioning hole 101, and the bottom plate 30 of the storage slot 3 is correspondingly provided with a positioning post 301; when the positioning post 301 is aligned and inserted into the charging positioning hole 101, the charging pin 400 is simultaneously aligned and inserted into the charging socket 100. By providing a charging positioning hole 101 on the tail end face 10 and a corresponding positioning post 301 on the bottom plate 30, the positioning cooperation between the positioning post 301 and the charging positioning hole 101 can ensure that the charging pin 400 and the charging socket 100 are aligned and inserted when the flashlight body 1 is placed into the storage slot 3, thus preventing damage that may be caused by misalignment of the charging pin 400 and the charging socket 100.

[0064] The shape of the storage slot 3 should match the shape of the flashlight body 1; preferably, the flashlight body 1 adopts a cylindrical structure; correspondingly, the storage slot 3 can be set as a cylindrical shape of the same shape, or it can also be a semi-cylindrical shape as shown in the figure. Due to the adsorption effect between the storage side adsorption part 41 and the flashlight side adsorption part 11, the flashlight body 1 placed in the semi-cylindrical storage slot 3 will not detach.

[0065] As a preferred exemplary implementation among various feasible solutions, when the flashlight body 1 is cylindrical, the charging positioning holes 101 in this embodiment are arranged in multiple intervals around the center of the tail end face 10, and multiple positioning posts 301 are correspondingly provided on the bottom plate 30. The flashlight body 1 adopts a cylindrical structure, and the positioning structure between the bottom plate 30 and the tail end face 10 is set in multiple groups. When the positioning post 301 is not yet aligned with the corresponding charging positioning hole 101, the ends of each positioning post 301 can abut against the surface of the tail end face 10, forming a relatively balanced support for the flashlight body 1, thus making the process of rotating the flashlight body 1 to find the alignment position smoother. The positioning posts 301 and the charging positioning holes 101 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence to ensure accurate docking of the charging pins 400 and the charging socket 100 when each group of positioning structures is aligned.

[0066] Furthermore, it should be noted that during the process of placing the flashlight body 1 into the storage slot 3, the flashlight body 1 can be rotated to allow the charging positioning hole 101 to find the corresponding positioning post 301, thereby achieving positioning and insertion. This position also ensures that the charging pin 400 and the charging port 100 are correctly aligned. The specific number of positioning posts 301 and charging positioning holes 101 can be flexibly chosen; for example, two or three sets can be set. When setting two sets, preferably, the two positioning posts 301 should not be placed in a centrally symmetrical position, i.e., the two sets of positioning structures should not differ by exactly 180 degrees. This could easily lead to a situation where, although the positioning post 301 and the charging positioning hole 101 are aligned, the charging pin 400 and the charging port 100 are misaligned by 180 degrees. Of course, the two positioning structures can also be arranged in a 180-degree difference. In this case, the two positioning posts 301 can have different radial dimensions, and two charging positioning holes 101 with different radial dimensions can be set accordingly to prevent the positioning posts 301 from being inserted into non-corresponding charging positioning holes 101. This avoids the situation where the charging pins 400 and the charging sockets 100 are 180 degrees apart.

[0067] In summary, the vehicle flashlight assembly of this embodiment, by setting a dedicated storage and charging section in the vehicle's passenger compartment, utilizes the storage slot 3 of the storage and charging section to achieve fixed-point placement of the flashlight body 1, allowing for quick retrieval during use. Simultaneously, through the storage-side suction part 41 and charging pin 400 provided on the bottom plate 30 of the storage slot 3, in conjunction with the flashlight-side suction part 11 and charging port 100 provided on the flashlight body 1, the flashlight body 1 can be automatically suctioned into place when placed in the storage slot 3, thus connecting the charging circuit. This prevents the flashlight body 1 from falling out of the storage slot 3 while also facilitating charging, thereby improving the convenience of using the vehicle flashlight in terms of retrieval, placement, and charging.

[0068] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle equipped with the vehicle-mounted flashlight assembly provided in Embodiment 1; an exemplary structure thereof may also be referred to. Figures 1 to 8 As shown.

[0069] Specifically, as a preferred exemplary implementation among various feasible solutions, in this embodiment, the storage slot 3 is formed on the outer panel of the sub-instrument assembly 2, and the charging unit 4 is located inside the sub-instrument assembly 2. At this time, the sub-instrument assembly 2 constitutes the basic component for assembling the vehicle flashlight assembly. Using the sub-instrument assembly 2 as the basic component of the vehicle flashlight assembly is appropriate in position and convenient for people to flexibly pick up and put away; it also facilitates the processing and forming of the storage slot 3 on the outer panel of the sub-instrument assembly 2 to facilitate the placement of the flashlight body 1.

[0070] Regarding the above-mentioned setup, in the specific implementation and application process, mature methods or mature products in this field can be used, and adjustments can be made based on the convenience, rationality, applicability, and other factors of implementation.

[0071] As a preferred exemplary implementation among various feasible solutions, the depth of the storage slot 3 should be slightly shorter than the total length of the flashlight body 1, so that after the flashlight body 1 is placed into the storage slot 3, the head of the flashlight body 1 can be slightly exposed outside the storage slot 3, so that when taking out the flashlight body 1, the head of the flashlight body 1 can be easily grasped by hand to pull out the flashlight body 1.

[0072] In terms of specific configuration, the sub-instrument panel assembly 2 of this embodiment includes a control panel 20 and side trim panels 23 disposed on the left and right sides of the control panel 20. The control panel 20 near the side trim panels 23 has an upwardly arched protrusion 201, and a side support plate 202 for the side trim panels 23 to overlap is provided on the lower outer side of the protrusion 201. The top of the side trim panels 23 has a top overlapping plate 230 that overlaps the side support plate 202. Based on the above configuration, the storage groove 3 of this embodiment is formed on the top overlapping plate 230, and the protrusion 201 connects to the side upright portion of the side support plate 202 to form a bottom plate 30.

[0073] Using the control panel 20 in the sub-instrument assembly 2 as the component for setting the storage slot 3, the position is convenient and easy for people to access and operate. Since the control panel 20 usually has a row of control switches 200 in the middle, a protrusion 201 is set near the side trim panel 23 of the control panel 20. This allows a side upright structure that can be used as the bottom plate 30 to be formed on the outer side of the protrusion 201. Moreover, due to the arched setting of the protrusion 201, an inner cavity 203 for mounting the fixing bracket 42 can be formed inside the control panel 20, providing good space for the installation and arrangement of the charging unit 4.

[0074] Furthermore, in practical applications, the secondary instrument panel assembly 2 typically includes a mobile phone charging panel 21, a control panel 20, and a cup holder panel 22 arranged sequentially in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The side trim panels 23 located on both sides of the secondary instrument panel assembly 2 specifically include a left trim panel 231 and a right trim panel 232, which cover the sides of the aforementioned mobile phone charging panel 21, control panel 20, and cup holder panel 22. Obviously, the aforementioned vehicle flashlight assembly can be installed only on one side trim panel 23, or a vehicle flashlight assembly can be installed on both the left trim panel 231 and the right trim panel 232 at the connection positions with the control panel 20, thereby achieving the purpose of simultaneously equipping the passenger compartment with two flashlights for the driver and front passenger to use separately.

[0075] Based on the overall setup described above, it can be seen that by configuring the vehicle-mounted flashlight assembly of this application on the vehicle and utilizing a magnetic fixing structure, the flashlight body 1 can be securely placed in the storage slot 3, preventing loss. Furthermore, the flashlight body 1, placed in the storage slot 3, allows for connection and power supply through the charging pins 400 and the charging port 100, eliminating the need for charging cables and creating a form similar to wireless charging. This avoids the problem of tangled wires, providing a better user experience, keeping the vehicle interior tidy, and improving ease of use. Because the flashlight body 1 is fixed in place, the flashlight can be quickly retrieved, making it very convenient for emergency use and improving driving safety.

[0076] Furthermore, it should be understood that because a flashlight-side adsorption part 11 is provided on the tail end face 10 of the flashlight body 1, the flashlight body 1 can be easily adsorbed onto the body sheet metal when camping outdoors, which improves the ease of use of the flashlight body 1.

[0077] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application. Detailed explanations of configurations, examples of specific structural arrangements, and descriptions of assembly and connection methods are provided to ensure sufficient disclosure so that those skilled in the art can better implement this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
