Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle terminal technology, specifically to an intelligent vehicle terminal. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent vehicle terminals are one of the core devices in the field of vehicle terminal technology. They are widely used in operating vehicles such as trucks and buses. They are typically composed of components such as a shell, touch screen, chip, RAM, ROM, bus interface, positioning module, communication module, and power management module. They can realize core functions such as positioning, data communication, and vehicle status monitoring. The touch screen or surface control buttons are exposed in the cab for the driver to operate. The entire device needs to be installed inside the vehicle's central control system to adapt to the vehicle structure and provide support for the dispatching, monitoring, and driving operation of operating vehicles.

[0003] Existing intelligent vehicle terminals have significant drawbacks in practical applications: because the entire device is installed inside the car's central control unit, only the touchscreen, control buttons, and other operating components are exposed through the central control panel, while the wiring interfaces are mostly concentrated on the back of the terminal body and connected to the wiring harness. When a vehicle system malfunctions and it is necessary to measure the current and voltage at the interface to troubleshoot the problem, staff must first remove the car's central control panel from the center console, and then further disassemble the terminal shell and main body to access the interface and wiring harness. The entire operation process is cumbersome and time-consuming. Especially for commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses, the complexity of maintenance operations not only increases labor costs but may also prolong vehicle downtime and affect operational efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent vehicle terminal to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent vehicle terminal, comprising a housing and a vehicle central control unit, wherein a terminal body is installed inside the housing, and a wiring harness is connected to one side of the outer surface of the terminal body; an inspection cover is connected to one side of the inside of the housing via inspection bolts; a first support arm is connected to the other side of the inside of the housing, and a second support arm is connected to both the top and bottom of the first support arm, with a damping pivot penetrating the top of both the first and second support arms; an anti-loss strap is connected to the lower part of the inside of the housing, and anti-loss bolts are connected at both ends of the anti-loss strap to the housing and the inspection cover.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solutions, the terminal body and wiring harness provide the foundation for the equipment functions, the inspection cover and inspection bolts provide a convenient channel for troubleshooting, the anti-loss strap prevents the inspection cover from being lost, and the first support arm, the second support arm and the damping shaft provide support for the optimization of touch screen operation and inspection exposure. Overall, it lays the structural foundation for solving the problems of cumbersome maintenance and inconvenient operation of traditional vehicle terminals.

[0007] Furthermore, the terminal body has an "L" shaped cross-section, and the wire harness has a "U" shaped cross-section.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the L-shaped terminal body and the U-shaped wire harness can form a structural fit, making the interface of the terminal body and the connection part of the wire harness more concentrated, and can accurately correspond to the position of the subsequent maintenance cover plate, reducing the problem of unclear exposure of the interface and wire harness during maintenance, and providing convenience for staff to quickly locate the testing point.

[0009] Furthermore, the position of the inspection cover corresponds to the position of the wiring harness, and the inspection cover is detachably connected to the outer casing via inspection bolts.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when troubleshooting line or interface faults, staff only need to unscrew the inspection bolts to remove the inspection cover. Without disassembling the overall terminal structure, the interface between the wiring harness and the terminal body can be directly exposed, greatly reducing the tedious steps of disassembling the center console trim and shell in traditional maintenance, and reducing the complexity and time consumption of maintenance operations.

[0011] Furthermore, the terminal body is composed of components such as chips, RAM, ROM, bus interfaces, positioning modules, communication modules, and power management modules.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, the chip and storage modules (RAM, ROM) ensure data processing and storage, the bus interface enables data interaction between devices, the positioning module provides location information, the communication module supports real-time data transmission, and the power management module ensures stable power supply. Overall, it provides reliable technical support for operational needs such as vehicle dispatching, real-time monitoring, and status monitoring.

[0013] Furthermore, a touch screen is connected to one end of the second support arm, and a power line and a signal line are respectively connected between the touch screen and the terminal body.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, the power cord can stably provide working power to the touch screen, and the signal line can realize the transmission of instructions and data interaction between the touch screen and the terminal body, ensuring that the driver can operate the terminal functions normally through the touch screen, reducing the problem of the touch screen being unusable due to power or signal interruption, and improving the ease of operation.

[0015] Furthermore, through holes are provided inside the first support arm on both sides, and the power line and signal line are located inside the through holes.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the through hole can neatly store the power line and signal line, reducing the possibility of the line getting tangled or broken when the first support arm and the second support arm drive the touch screen to rotate, thus ensuring the stability of power transmission and signal interaction.

[0017] Furthermore, the first support arm is rotatably connected to the outer casing via a damping pivot, and the two ends of the second support arm are rotatably connected to the first support arm and the touch screen respectively via damping pivots.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the resistance of the damping shaft can be manually overcome to drive the first support arm and the second support arm to rotate synchronously. On the one hand, the orientation of the touch screen can be flexibly adjusted to improve the convenience of operation. On the other hand, after rotation, the inspection cover and inspection bolts that were originally covered by the touch screen can be exposed, providing space for subsequent maintenance operations. At the same time, the damping characteristics can reduce the situation where the touch screen rotates on its own due to vehicle bumps, ensuring the stability of use.

[0019] Furthermore, multiple mounting holes are provided on both sides of the bottom of the housing, and bolts are provided between the multiple mounting holes and the car's central control unit.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, bolts can pass through the mounting holes to firmly fix the housing inside the car's central control unit, forming a reliable installation position. This reduces the problem of displacement or loosening of the housing due to vibration during vehicle operation, and provides installation assurance for the overall stable operation of the equipment.

[0021] Furthermore, a center console trim panel is connected to the outer surface of the car's center console, and a slot is provided on the outer surface of the outer shell, with the slot abutting against the center console trim panel.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, after the center console trim panel is installed, its pre-set holes can abut against the slots of the outer shell, further restricting the displacement of the outer shell in the car's center console, enhancing the stability of the outer shell after installation, reducing the risk of loosening that may exist if it is fixed by bolts alone, and maintaining the integrity of the vehicle's center console appearance.

[0023] Furthermore, the outer casing has heat dissipation holes on both sides and the back, and there are multiple heat dissipation holes.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple heat dissipation holes can accelerate the air circulation between the inside of the casing and the central control unit, effectively dissipate the heat generated by the terminal body and wiring harness during operation, and reduce the accumulation of heat inside the casing.

[0025] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0026] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of a first support arm, a second support arm, and a damping pivot, allows the first and second support arms to rotate synchronously when the driver manually applies a large force to push or pull the touchscreen. This overcomes the resistance of the damping pivot and allows the touchscreen to be flexibly adjusted to the driver's direction, reducing the inconvenience of operating the touchscreen. Compared to traditional touchscreens with a fixed orientation, this is more convenient to use. Furthermore, due to the damping effect of multiple damping pivots, the vibrations during driving are less likely to cause the touchscreen to rotate and adjust its orientation, ensuring the stability of the touchscreen while driving. On the other hand, the rotation process exposes the inspection cover and inspection bolts that were originally covered by the touchscreen, providing convenient space for subsequent wiring inspection operations. This makes it both easy to maintain and easy to use.

[0027] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the inspection cover and inspection bolts, allows workers to remove the inspection cover simply by unscrewing the inspection bolts when it is necessary to inspect the lines or interfaces. This eliminates the need to disassemble the overall terminal structure, allowing the interfaces and wiring harnesses of the terminal body to be directly exposed. This facilitates quick troubleshooting operations such as current and voltage measurements. This design significantly reduces the tedious steps of disassembling the center console trim and outer shell in traditional maintenance, lowers the complexity of maintenance operations, and saves maintenance time. It is particularly suitable for the maintenance efficiency requirements of commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses, and creates a more convenient maintenance access.

[0028] 3. This utility model, through the setting of the terminal body and the wire harness, the terminal body adopts an L-shaped cross-section design, and the wire harness is bent into a U-shape. The structural adaptation of the two allows the interface and the wire harness to accurately correspond to the position of the inspection cover, further improving the clarity of the exposure of the interface and the wire harness during maintenance, and making it convenient for staff to quickly locate the inspection point; further optimizing the convenience of maintenance.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0037] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] A smart vehicle terminal, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the system includes a housing 1 and a central control unit 17. A terminal body 2 is installed inside the housing 1. The terminal body 2 has an "L"-shaped cross-section. A wiring harness 3 is connected to one side of the outer surface of the terminal body 2. The wiring harness 3 has a "U"-shaped cross-section. Due to the L-shaped design of the terminal body 2 and the U-shaped design of the wiring harness 3, their interface is directly exposed, allowing staff to quickly disconnect the wiring harness 3 and perform troubleshooting operations such as current and voltage measurements on the interface and wiring harness 3. This significantly reduces the need for disassembling the central control panel 1 during traditional maintenance. The cumbersome steps of connecting the outer casing 1 and the inner casing 8 are simplified, reducing maintenance complexity and time consumption. An inspection cover 13 is connected to one side of the inner casing 1 via inspection bolts 14. The position of the inspection cover 13 corresponds to the position of the wiring harness 3. The inspection cover 13 is detached from the outer casing 1 via inspection bolts 14. The operator first uses the aforementioned adjustment method for the touchscreen 5 to rotate it, completely exposing the inspection cover 13 and inspection bolts 14, which were previously obscured by the touchscreen 5. Then, the operator only needs to unscrew the inspection bolts 14 to remove the inspection cover 13. Inside the first support arm 1, a first support arm 10 is connected to the other side. A second support arm 11 is connected to both the top and bottom of the first support arm 10. A damping shaft 12 passes through the top of both the first and second support arms 10. Due to the damping effect of the damping shaft 12, the vibrations and bumps during vehicle operation do not easily cause the touchscreen 5 to rotate on its own, ensuring the stability of the touchscreen 5 during daily use and providing convenient conditions for maintenance. The first support arm 10 is rotatably connected to the outer casing 1 via the damping shaft 12, and the two ends of the second support arm 11 are connected via… The damping shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the first support arm 10 and the touch screen 5 respectively. When the driver needs to adjust the orientation of the touch screen 5, he can manually apply a pushing or pulling force to the touch screen 5. After overcoming the resistance of the damping shaft 12, the first support arm 10 will rotate inside the outer shell 1, the second support arm 11 will rotate at one end of the first support arm 10, and the touch screen 5 will rotate at one end of the second support arm 11. Finally, the touch screen 5 will be adjusted to face the driver or other directions, which is more convenient to use than the traditional fixed orientation touch screen 5.

[0040] See Figures 2-4In the above embodiment, the terminal body 2 is composed of components such as a chip, RAM, ROM, bus interface, positioning module, communication module, and power management module. During daily use, the intelligent vehicle terminal can work with sensors, cameras, and recorders in the vehicle. The wiring harnesses 3 of these devices also pass through the back of the outer shell 1 and connect to the terminal body 2, thereby facilitating the intelligent vehicle terminal to realize functions such as audio and video recording, driving data recording, IC card registration, real-time monitoring, real-time positioning, fleet management and dispatching, and V2X. One end of the second support arm 11 is connected to a touch screen 5. The touch screen 5 and the terminal body 2 are respectively connected by a power line 6 and a signal line 7, which can provide functions and transmit signals for the touch screen 5. The first support arm 10 has through holes on its interior and sides. The power line 6 and signal line 7 are located inside the through holes. The power line 6 and signal line 7 between the touch screen 5 and the terminal body 2 will pass through the through holes on both sides of the first support arm 10, reducing the problem of wiring harness 3 getting tangled when the first support arm 10, the second support arm 11, and the touch screen 5 rotate.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] Based on the above embodiment one, in order to facilitate the installation of this intelligent vehicle terminal in the car's central control unit, the following settings are now implemented.

[0043] See Figure 6 In the above embodiment, multiple mounting holes 8 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the outer shell 1. Bolts are provided between the multiple mounting holes 8 and the car central control 17. A central control trim panel 18 is connected to the outer surface of the car central control 17. A slot 9 is provided on the outer surface of the outer shell 1. The slot 9 abuts against the central control trim panel 18. During the equipment installation stage, the staff needs to first insert the car wiring harness 3 into the interior of the outer shell 1 from the back side. Then, the staff bends the wiring harness 3 into a U-shape and inserts it into the interface of the terminal body 2 to facilitate the power supply and transmission of electrical signals to the terminal body 2, which is composed of components such as chips, RAM, ROM, bus interface, positioning module, communication module, and power management module. Subsequently, the staff uses the multiple mounting holes 8 and bolts to install the outer shell 1 inside the car central control 17. After the outer shell 1 is positioned, the staff snaps the central control trim panel 18 on the outer surface of the car central control 17 back into its original position. At this time, the preset hole of the central control trim panel 18 will abut against the slot 9, further restricting the displacement of the outer shell 1 and reducing the possibility of the outer shell 1 becoming loose during vehicle operation.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] Based on the above embodiment 1, in order to avoid heat accumulation inside the sealed outer casing 1, the following settings are now implemented.

[0046] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4In the above embodiment, heat dissipation holes 4 are provided on both sides and the back of the outer shell 1. Multiple heat dissipation holes 4 are provided, and the multiple heat dissipation holes 4 on both sides and the back of the outer shell 1 reduce the accumulation of heat inside the outer shell 1.

[0047] Example 4:

[0048] Based on the above embodiment 1, in order to avoid the loss of the inspection cover 13, the following settings are now implemented.

[0049] See Figure 5 In the above embodiment, an anti-loss strap 15 is connected to the lower part of the inner shell 1. When the maintenance cover 13 is removed, the anti-loss strap 15 reduces the occurrence of the maintenance cover 13 falling off and being lost. The anti-loss strap 15 is made of nylon braided tape, and its wear resistance meets the requirements for use. Anti-loss bolts 16 are connected between the two ends of the anti-loss strap 15 and the shell 1 and the maintenance cover 13. If the anti-loss strap 15 wears out and ages later, the anti-loss bolts 16 can be removed to disconnect the two ends of the anti-loss strap 15 from the shell 1 and the maintenance cover 13, which facilitates replacement. After replacing the anti-loss strap 15, the anti-loss bolts 16 are reinstalled and tightened.

[0050] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, during the equipment installation stage, the staff needs to insert the car wiring harness 3 into the interior of the housing 1 from the back side. Then, the staff bends the wiring harness 3 into a U-shape and inserts it into the interface of the terminal body 2 so as to supply power and transmit electrical signals to the terminal body 2, which is composed of components such as chips, RAM, ROM, bus interface, positioning module, communication module, and power management module. Subsequently, the staff uses multiple mounting holes 8 and bolts to install the housing 1 inside the car center console 17. After the housing 1 is positioned, the staff snaps the center console trim 18 on the outer surface of the car center console 17 back into its original position. At this time, the preset holes of the center console trim 18 will abut against the slots 9, further restricting the displacement of the housing 1 and reducing the possibility of the housing 1 becoming loose during vehicle operation.

[0051] During daily use, the intelligent vehicle terminal can coordinate with sensors, cameras, and recorders within the vehicle. The wiring harnesses 3 of these devices also pass through the back of the outer casing 1 and connect to the terminal body 2, facilitating functions such as audio and video recording, driving data recording, IC card registration, real-time monitoring, real-time positioning, fleet management and dispatching, and V2X. The touchscreen 5 forms a linkage structure with the outer casing 1 through the second support arm 11 and the first support arm 10. When the driver needs to adjust the orientation of the touchscreen 5, they can manually apply a pushing or pulling force to the touchscreen 5. After overcoming the resistance of the damping shaft 12, the first support arm 10 will rotate inside the outer casing 1, and the second... The support arm 11 rotates at one end of the first support arm 10, while the touch screen 5 rotates at one end of the second support arm 11, ultimately adjusting the touch screen 5 to face the driver or other directions, making it more convenient to use compared to a traditional fixed-direction touch screen 5. Simultaneously, the power cable 6 and signal cable 7 between the touch screen 5 and the terminal body 2 provide power and signal transmission for the touch screen 5, and are threaded through through holes on both sides of the first support arm 10, reducing problems such as wire harness 3 tangling when the first support arm 10, second support arm 11, and touch screen 5 rotate. During this process, multiple heat dissipation holes 4 on both sides and the back of the outer casing 1 reduce heat buildup inside the outer casing 1.

[0052] When equipment malfunctions and requires testing of interfaces or wiring, unlike existing technologies that require disassembling the central control panel 18 first, staff can first rotate the touchscreen 5 using the aforementioned adjustment method, completely exposing the inspection cover 13 and inspection bolts 14 that were previously obscured by the touchscreen 5. Then, staff only need to unscrew the inspection bolts 14 to remove the inspection cover 13. Simultaneously, the anti-loss strap 15 reduces the likelihood of the inspection cover 13 falling or being lost. The anti-loss strap 15 is made of nylon braided tape, with sufficient wear resistance. If the anti-loss strap 15 wears out later, the anti-loss bolts 16 can be removed to disconnect the ends of the anti-loss strap 15 from the outer casing 1 and the inspection cover 13. The connection facilitates replacement; after replacing the anti-loss strap 15, simply reinstall and tighten the anti-loss bolt 16. Due to the L-shaped structure of the terminal body 2 and the U-shaped structure of the wiring harness 3, the interface between the two is directly exposed, making it easy for staff to quickly disconnect the wiring harness 3 and perform troubleshooting operations such as current and voltage measurements on the interface and wiring harness 3. This significantly reduces the tedious steps of disassembling the center console trim panel 18 and the outer shell 1 in traditional maintenance, reducing the complexity and time consumption of maintenance. At the same time, due to the damping effect of the damping shaft 12, the bumps and vibrations during vehicle operation are unlikely to cause the touch screen 5 to rotate on its own, ensuring the stability of the touch screen 5 during daily use and providing convenient conditions for maintenance operations.
