Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of vehicle display modules, and particularly relates to a multi-screen display module and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the accelerated promotion of the intelligentization and networking trend of vehicles, the vehicle infotainment system and the human-computer interaction system have ushered in rapid development, and the traditional mechanical instrument and the central control single screen have been unable to meet the needs of users for intelligent driving experience, so the multi-screen display module emerges as the times require and becomes an important solution for the intelligent cockpit.

[0003] The multi-screen display module refers to the combination of two or more display screens (such as a liquid crystal instrument, a central control screen, a copilot entertainment screen, etc.). In terms of user experience, most multi-screen display modules not only support the deep integration of navigation, entertainment and vehicle control, but also can improve convenience through voice, gesture and other multi-modal interactions.

[0004] However, since the multiple display screens in the existing multi-screen display module are usually arranged continuously along the width direction of the vehicle, the position of the display screen is fixed, so it cannot meet the different viewing and operating needs of users, and thus affects the flexibility of the multi-screen display module. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0005] The application provides a multi-screen display module to increase the flexibility of the multi-screen display module and improve the use experience of users.

[0006] The technical scheme adopted by the application is as follows: A multi-screen display module, comprising a support frame, a first display screen, a second display screen and a driving assembly, the first display screen and the second display screen are arranged in sequence along a first direction, the first display screen is arranged on the support frame, the second display screen is slidingly connected to the support frame and can rotate relative to the support frame, so that the second display screen has a first position extending in a horizontal direction and a second position extending in a vertical direction, and the driving assembly is connected to the second display screen and is used for driving the second display screen to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0007] By adopting the technical scheme, the second display screen is slidably connected to the support frame, so that the distance between the second display screen and the first display screen can be adjusted to form a space for the rotation of the second display screen between the second display screen and the first display screen. Since the second display screen can rotate relative to the support frame, the second display screen can be switched between the first position and the second position to meet different viewing and operating requirements of the user, thereby improving the user experience. Since the driving assembly is used to drive the second display screen to switch between the first position and the second position, the driving assembly can be used to drive the second display screen to automatically switch between the first position and the second position, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0008] Optionally, the support frame is provided with a guide groove extending along the first direction, the second display screen is provided with a guide shaft slidably connected to the guide groove, the driving assembly is connected to the guide shaft, and the driving assembly can drive the guide shaft to slide along the first direction and can drive the guide shaft to rotate.

[0009] By adopting the technical scheme, the second display screen is provided with a guide shaft, and the driving assembly is connected to the guide shaft. The driving assembly can be used to drive the guide shaft to switch the second display screen between the first position and the second position, thereby reducing the difficulty of driving the second display screen to switch between the first position and the second position by the driving assembly, simplifying the structure of the driving assembly, reducing the production cost of the multi-screen display module, and reducing the failure rate of the multi-screen display module. Since the guide shaft is slidably connected to the guide groove, the guide shaft and the guide groove can be used to support and position the second display screen and guide the second display screen, thereby increasing the stability of the second display screen and the stability of the multi-screen display module.

[0010] Optionally, the driving assembly includes a driving member, a first driving arm, and a second driving arm. The first driving arm has a hinged end hinged to the support frame and a driving end hinged to the second driving arm. One end of the second driving arm away from the first driving arm is fixedly connected to the guide shaft. The driving member is drivingly connected to the first driving arm to drive the first driving arm to rotate.

[0011] By adopting the technical scheme, when the second display screen is driven to rotate, the driving member is started to drive the first driving arm to move the second driving arm, and then drive the guide shaft to move, so that the guide shaft rotates relative to the guide groove, thereby driving the second display screen to rotate while moving, and finally driving the second display screen to move from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position, so as to realize the rotation of the second display screen. Since the driving member cooperates with the first driving arm and the second driving arm to realize the rotation of the second display screen while moving, the rotation efficiency of the second display screen is improved.

[0012] Optionally, the driving member has an output shaft, the output shaft is provided with a driving gear, and the hinge end is provided with a driven gear meshing with the driving gear.

[0013] By adopting the technical scheme, since the output shaft of the driving member is provided with a driving gear, and the hinge end is provided with a driven gear meshing with the driving gear, on the one hand, the driving member and the first driving arm can be transmissionally connected by the meshing of the driving gear and the driven gear, and on the other hand, the transmission efficiency between the driving member and the first driving arm can be adjusted by adjusting the gear ratio of the driving gear and the driven gear, so as to reduce the load of the driving member, thereby being able to configure a driving member with relatively low power for the multi-screen display module, so as to reduce the production cost of the multi-screen display module.

[0014] Optionally, the support frame is provided with a guide groove, the guide groove is slidably connected with a sliding plate, and the second display screen is provided with a guide shaft penetrating the sliding plate.

[0015] By adopting the technical scheme, since the guide shaft penetrates the sliding plate, the sliding plate can be used to position and limit the guide shaft, so as to increase the stability of the guide shaft. Since the sliding plate is slidably connected with the guide groove, the sliding plate can slide relative to the guide groove under the action of the guide shaft, so as to ensure that the guide shaft can slide relative to the guide groove, and further ensure that the second display screen can rotate normally.

[0016] Optionally, the sliding plate is provided with a positioning portion, and the positioning portion surrounds the guide shaft.

[0017] By adopting the technical scheme, since the positioning portion surrounds the guide shaft, the contact area between the guide shaft and the sliding plate is increased, so as to further improve the positioning and limiting effect of the sliding plate on the guide shaft, and further increase the stability of the guide shaft, so as to further increase the stability of the second display screen.

[0018] Optionally, the support frame is provided with a guide slot penetrating in the thickness direction of the support frame, the second display screen is provided with a guide shaft slidingly connected to the guide slot, and the driving assembly is connected to the guide shaft and located on the side of the support frame away from the second display screen.

[0019] By adopting the above technical scheme, since the driving assembly is located on the side of the support frame away from the second display screen, on the one hand, the support frame can be used to shield the driving assembly, so as to improve the appearance quality of the multi-screen display module, and on the other hand, the distance between the second display screen and the support frame can be reduced, so as to facilitate the miniaturization design of the multi-screen display module.

[0020] Optionally, the side of the support frame facing the second display screen is provided with a decorative cover, the guide slot comprises a plate accommodating groove provided in the support frame and a shaft accommodating groove provided in the decorative cover, a sliding plate is slidingly connected in the plate accommodating groove, and the guide shaft penetrates through the sliding plate and is slidingly connected to the shaft accommodating groove.

[0021] By adopting the above technical scheme, since the guide shaft penetrates through the sliding plate and is slidingly connected to the shaft accommodating groove, the groove wall of the shaft accommodating groove and the sliding plate can be used to position and limit the guide shaft, so as to further increase the stability of the guide shaft and the second display screen.

[0022] Optionally, the support frame is provided with a guide slot, and the side of the second display screen facing the support frame is provided with a boss, and the boss is provided with a guide shaft slidingly connected to the guide slot.

[0023] By adopting the above technical scheme, since the side of the second display screen facing the support frame is provided with a boss, and the guide shaft is arranged in the boss, after the second display screen is installed on the support frame, the second display screen contacts the support frame through the boss, so as to ensure the stability of the second display screen while reducing the contact area between the second display screen and the support frame, thereby reducing the friction force to be overcome by the second display screen during rotation, so as to ensure the smoothness of the rotation process of the second display screen on the one hand, reduce the load of the driving member on the other hand, so as to reduce the power of the driving member, and avoid the situation that the second display screen cannot shield the scratched position on the support frame when the second display screen is in the second position due to the large contact area between the second display screen and the support frame, so as to further improve the user experience.

[0024] The application also provides a vehicle to improve the user experience.

[0025] A vehicle comprising the multi-screen display module as described above.

[0026] By adopting the technical scheme, the vehicle in the application adopts the multi-screen display module, so that the second display screen can be rotated to meet the different observation and operation needs of the user, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0027] Due to the adoption of the above technical scheme, the application has the following beneficial effects: 1. The multi-screen display module in the application comprises a support frame, a first display screen, a second display screen and a driving assembly. The first display screen and the second display screen are arranged in sequence along a first direction. The first display screen is arranged on the support frame. The second display screen is slidingly connected to the support frame and can rotate relative to the support frame. The second display screen has a first position extending in a horizontal direction and a second position extending in a vertical direction. The driving assembly is connected to the second display screen and is used to drive the second display screen to switch between the first position and the second position. Thus, the different viewing and operation needs of the user are met, and the user's experience is improved.

[0028] 2. The support frame in the application is provided with a guide groove extending along the first direction. The second display screen is provided with a guide shaft slidingly connected to the guide groove. The driving assembly is connected to the guide shaft. The driving assembly can drive the guide shaft to slide along the first direction and can drive the guide shaft to rotate. Thus, the switching of the second display screen between the first position and the second position can be realized by driving the guide shaft with the driving assembly. This reduces the difficulty of driving the second display screen to switch between the first position and the second position by the driving assembly, thereby simplifying the structure of the driving assembly, reducing the production cost of the multi-screen display module and reducing the failure rate of the multi-screen display module.

[0029] 3. The driving assembly in the application comprises a driving member, a first driving arm and a second driving arm. The first driving arm has a hinged end hinged to the support frame and a driving end hinged to the second driving arm. The second driving arm is fixedly connected to the guide shaft at an end away from the first driving arm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present application, the following will be described in detail in an exemplary manner with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, however, the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, therefore, the protection scope of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0036] In the present application, unless specifically defined and limited otherwise, the first feature is "on" or "under" the second feature, which can be direct contact between the first and second features, or indirect contact between the first and second features through an intermediate medium. In the description of the specification, the description of the terms "embodiment", "example", "one embodiment", "example" or "specific example" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In the present specification, the illustrative description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 8 The present application discloses a multi-screen display module, which comprises a support frame 1, a first display screen 2, a second display screen 3 and a driving assembly 4. The first display screen 2 and the second display screen 3 are arranged in sequence along a first direction. The first display screen 2 is arranged on the support frame 1. The second display screen 3 is slidingly connected to the support frame 1 and can rotate relative to the support frame 1, so that the second display screen 3 has a first position extending in a horizontal direction and a second position extending in a vertical direction. The driving assembly 4 is connected to the second display screen 3 and is used to drive the second display screen 3 to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0038] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "the second display screen 3 has a first position extending horizontally and a second position extending vertically" means that when the second display screen 3 is in the first position, the length direction of the second display screen 3 is parallel to the width direction of the vehicle; while when the second display screen 3 is in the second position, the length direction of the second display screen 3 is parallel to the height direction of the vehicle or at an angle to the height direction of the vehicle, depending on the pitch angle of the second display screen 3; or it can be understood that when the second display screen 3 is in the second position, one end of the second display screen 3 in the length direction is above the other end.

[0039] Because the second display screen 3 is slidably connected to the support frame 1, the distance between the second display screen 3 and the first display screen 2 can be adjusted, so that a space for the second display screen 3 to rotate can be formed between the second display screen 3 and the first display screen 2. Furthermore, because the second display screen 3 can rotate relative to the support frame 1, the second display screen 3 can switch between a first position and a second position to meet different viewing and operation needs of users, thereby improving the user experience. Moreover, because the drive component 4 is used to drive the second display screen 3 to switch between the first position and the second position, the second display screen 3 can be driven automatically to switch between the first position and the second position, further improving the user experience.

[0040] This application does not specifically limit the first direction. Preferably, the first direction is the width direction of the vehicle, that is, the first display screen 2 and the second display screen 3 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the vehicle. In other embodiments, the first direction may also be the height direction of the vehicle or a direction that is at an angle to the height direction of the vehicle.

[0041] This application does not specifically limit the positional relationship between the length direction and the first direction of the first display screen 2. Preferably, referring to... Figure 1 The length direction of the first display screen 2 is parallel to the first direction to improve user convenience. In other embodiments, the length direction of the first display screen 2 may also be perpendicular to the first direction, that is, the width direction of the first display screen 2 is parallel to the first direction.

[0042] This application does not specifically limit the positional relationship between the second display screen 3 and the first display screen 2 when the second display screen 3 is in the first position. Preferably, referring to... Figure 1 When the first display screen 2 is in the first position, its end abuts against the end of the second display screen 3 to improve the user's visual experience. In other embodiments, the second display screen 3 may also have a gap with the first display screen 2 when it is in the first position.

[0043] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the support frame 1. Preferably, the support frame 1 is formed by a portion of the vehicle center console housing to reduce the production cost of the multi-screen display module. In other embodiments, the support frame 1 can also be mounted on a bracket structure of the vehicle center console.

[0044] This application does not specifically limit the sliding connection method between the second display screen 3 and the support frame 1, nor the driving method of the driving component 4 on the second display screen 3. Preferably, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The support frame 1 is provided with a guide groove 11 extending along the first direction, the second display screen 3 is provided with a guide shaft 31 slidably connected to the guide groove 11, the drive assembly 4 is connected to the guide shaft 31, and the drive assembly 4 can drive the guide shaft 31 to slide along the first direction and can drive the guide shaft 31 to rotate.

[0045] It is understood that the guide shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the second display screen 3, and the second display screen 3 achieves a sliding connection with the support frame 1 through the sliding cooperation between the guide shaft 31 and the guide groove 11; the drive assembly 4 drives the second display screen 3 to switch between the first position and the second position by driving the guide shaft 31 to slide and rotate.

[0046] Since the second display screen 3 is provided with a guide shaft 31 and the drive component 4 is connected to the guide shaft 31, the second display screen 3 can be switched between a first position and a second position by driving the guide shaft 31 with the drive component 4. This reduces the difficulty of the drive component 4 in driving the second display screen 3 to switch between the first position and the second position, thereby simplifying the structure of the drive component 4, reducing the production cost of the multi-screen display module and reducing the failure rate of the multi-screen display module. Furthermore, since the guide shaft 31 is slidably connected to the guide groove 11, the cooperation between the guide shaft 31 and the guide groove 11 can be used to support, position, and guide the second display screen 3, thereby increasing the stability of the second display screen 3 and thus increasing the stability of the multi-screen display module.

[0047] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the driver component 4; preferably, refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The drive assembly 4 includes a drive member, a first drive arm 41 and a second drive arm 42. The first drive arm 41 has a hinged end that is hinged to the support frame 1 and a drive end that is hinged to the second drive arm 42. The end of the second drive arm 42 away from the first drive arm 41 is fixedly connected to the guide shaft 31. The drive member is drivenly connected to the first drive arm 41 so as to drive the first drive arm 41 to rotate.

[0048] When driving the second display screen 3 to rotate, the driving component is activated so that the first driving arm 41 drives the second driving arm 42 to move under the action of the driving component. In turn, the second driving arm 42 drives the guide shaft 31 to move, so that the guide shaft 31 rotates relative to the guide groove 11 at the same time. This causes the second display screen 3 to rotate while moving, and finally causes the second display screen 3 to move from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position, thereby realizing the rotation of the second display screen 3. Since the cooperation between the driving component and the first driving arm 41 and the second driving arm 42 can realize the rotation of the second display screen 3 while moving, the rotation efficiency of the second display screen 3 is improved.

[0049] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the driving component or the transmission connection method between the driving component and the first driving arm 41. Preferably, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The driving component has an output shaft (not shown in the figure), the output shaft is provided with a driving gear, and the hinge end is provided with a driven gear 411 that meshes with the driving gear.

[0050] It is understood that the driving component is a motor, the driving gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving component, the hinge end of the first driving arm 41 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 412 which is rotatably connected to the support frame 1, and the driven gear 411 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 412.

[0051] Since the output shaft of the drive component is equipped with a driving gear and the hinge end is equipped with a driven gear 411 that meshes with the driving gear, the drive component and the first drive arm 41 can be connected by transmission through the meshing of the driving gear and the driven gear 411. On the other hand, the transmission efficiency between the drive component and the first drive arm 41 can be adjusted by adjusting the gear ratio of the driving gear and the driven gear 411, so as to reduce the load on the drive component. This allows for the configuration of a relatively low-power drive component for the multi-screen display module, thereby reducing the production cost of the multi-screen display module.

[0052] This application does not specify a particular method for fixing the drive component. Preferably, the drive component is fixedly connected to the support frame 1 via a mounting base to ensure the stability of the transmission connection between the drive component and the first drive arm 41. In other embodiments, the drive component can also be fixedly connected to the frame of the vehicle's center console to reduce the load on the support frame 1.

[0053] Preferably, the driving component is a servo motor to achieve precise control of the rotation angle of the first drive arm 41.

[0054] To facilitate understanding of the process of the second display screen 3 moving from the first position to the second position, Figure 8Taking this example, when the second display screen 3 needs to switch from the first position to the second position, the drive unit is activated. The output shaft of the drive unit drives the driving gear to rotate, causing the driving gear and the driven gear 411 to rotate relative to each other. The driven gear 411 rotates clockwise, and the driving end of the first drive arm 41 pushes the end of the second drive arm 42 away from the guide shaft 31 upward, so that the end of the second drive arm 42 away from the guide shaft 31 moves upward with the driving end of the first drive arm 41. The guide shaft 31 moves and rotates with the end of the second drive arm 42 away from the hinge to the first drive arm 41, thereby causing the second display screen 3 to move and rotate with the guide shaft 31, so that the second display screen 3 moves in a direction away from the first display screen 2. The drive arm 41 rotates counterclockwise. When the first drive arm 41 and the second drive arm 42 are collinear, the second display screen 3 is between the first position and the second position, at which point the guide shaft 31 is furthest from the first display screen 2. Then, the output shaft of the drive unit continues to rotate clockwise, and the drive end of the first drive arm 41 continues to push the end of the second drive arm 42 away from the guide shaft 31 upward, so that the end of the second drive arm 42 away from the guide shaft 31 continues to move upward with the drive end of the first drive arm 41. The guide shaft 31 continues to move and rotate with the end of the second drive arm 42 away from the hinge to the first drive arm 41, so that the second display screen 3 continues to move and rotate with the guide shaft 31, ultimately causing the second display screen 3 to switch to the second position. When the second display screen 3 needs to switch from the second position to the first position, the output shaft of the drive unit simply needs to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0055] In other embodiments, the output shaft of the drive unit can be directly fixedly connected to the hinge end of the first drive arm 41 to achieve a transmission connection between the drive unit and the first drive arm 41; or, the drive unit can be a structure with a piston rod, such as a cylinder or electric actuator, with the piston rod of the drive unit fixedly connected to a rack, and the hinge end of the first drive arm 41 fixedly connected to a gear that meshes with the rack, so as to achieve a transmission connection between the drive unit and the first drive arm 41 by utilizing the meshing of the rack and the gear.

[0056] In other embodiments, the drive assembly 4 includes a drive box slidably connected to the support frame 1 along a first direction and an electric actuator for moving the drive box along the first direction. The drive box includes a housing slidably connected to the support frame 1 and a motor disposed in the housing. A guide shaft 31 passes through the housing and is parallel to and spaced apart from the output shaft of the motor. Both the guide shaft 31 and the output shaft of the motor are coaxially fixedly connected with gears, and the two gears mesh with each other. The cylinder of the electric actuator is connected to the support frame 1, and the piston rod of the electric actuator is connected to the housing.

[0057] Specifically, when the second display screen 3 needs to switch from the first position to the first position, the piston rod of the electric actuator extends first, which then drives the drive box. The drive box, through the guide shaft 31, moves the second display screen 3 away from the first display screen 2, gradually increasing the distance between the first display screen 2 and the second display screen 3. When the distance between the first display screen 2 and the second display screen 3 is sufficient for the second display screen 3 to rotate, the piston rod of the electric actuator stops moving. Then, the output shaft of the motor rotates, which in turn drives the gear to rotate. The gear drives the guide shaft 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the second display screen 3 to rotate, thus switching the second display screen 3 from the first position to the second position. When the second display screen 3 needs to switch from the second position to the first position, the motor first drives the second display screen 3 to rotate, and then the piston rod of the electric actuator retracts, causing the drive box to move the second display screen 3 closer to the first display screen 2, ultimately causing the second display screen 3 to come into contact with the first display screen 2.

[0058] In this embodiment, a cylinder or hydraulic rod can be used to replace the electric actuator, or a motor and a gear and rack transmission structure can be used to replace the electric actuator.

[0059] The technical solution in this embodiment can not only switch the second display screen 3 between the first position and the second position, but also realize the parallel movement of the second display screen 3, thereby further increasing the flexibility of the multi-screen display module and further improving the user experience.

[0060] In other embodiments, the support frame 1 is provided with a guide rail, the length direction of which is parallel to the first direction, and a slider is slidably connected to the guide rail; the drive assembly 4 includes an electric push rod for driving the slider to slide along the length direction of the guide rail and a motor fixedly connected to the slider. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the second display screen 3, so that the output shaft of the motor can drive the second display screen 3 to rotate, and the second display screen 3 can also move with the slider, so that the distance between the second display screen 3 and the first display screen 2 can be adjusted, thereby ensuring that the second display screen 3 can switch between the first position and the second position.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The support frame 1 is provided with a guide groove 11, and a slide plate 113 is slidably connected in the guide groove 11. The second display screen 3 is provided with a guide shaft 31 passing through the slide plate 113.

[0062] It is understandable that the guide groove 11 extends along the first direction, that is, the length direction of the guide groove 11 is parallel to the first direction, and the slide plate 113 is provided with a hole structure for the guide shaft 31 to pass through.

[0063] Since the guide shaft 31 passes through the slide plate 113, the slide plate 113 can be used to position and limit the guide shaft 31, thereby increasing the stability of the guide shaft 31. Since the slide plate 113 is slidably connected to the guide groove 11, the slide plate 113 can slide relative to the guide groove 11 under the action of the guide shaft 31, thereby ensuring that the guide shaft 31 can slide relative to the guide groove 11, and thus ensuring that the second display screen 3 can rotate normally.

[0064] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The slide plate 113 is provided with a positioning part 114, which is arranged around the guide shaft 31.

[0065] Understandably, the positioning part 114 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the guide shaft 31.

[0066] Since the positioning part 114 is arranged around the guide shaft 31, the contact area between the guide shaft 31 and the slide plate 113 is increased, thereby further improving the positioning and limiting effect of the slide plate 113 on the guide shaft 31, and further increasing the stability of the guide shaft 31, so as to further increase the stability of the second display screen 3.

[0067] This application does not specifically limit the formation of the positioning part 114; preferably, refer to... Figure 7 The positioning part 114 is formed as an integral ring structure on the slide plate 113. This increases the connection stability between the positioning part 114 and the slide plate 113, thereby further enhancing the positioning and limiting effect of the slide plate 113 on the guide shaft 31. Furthermore, it reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the slide plate 113 and the number of components required for assembling the multi-screen display module, thus lowering the production cost of the multi-screen display module. In other embodiments, the positioning part 114 can also be formed as multiple block-shaped structures spaced circumferentially along the guide shaft 31.

[0068] Preferably, the positioning part 114 is located on the side of the slide plate 113 away from the second display screen 3, so that the slide plate 113 can block the positioning part 114, thereby improving the appearance quality of the multi-screen display module and thus improving the user's visual experience.

[0069] This application does not specifically limit the positional relationship between the drive assembly 4 and the support frame 1, nor the structure of the guide groove 11. Preferably, refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6The support frame 1 is provided with a guide groove 11 that runs through its own wall thickness direction. The second display screen 3 is provided with a guide shaft 31 that is slidably connected to the guide groove 11. The drive assembly 4 is connected to the guide shaft 31 and is located on the side of the support frame 1 away from the second display screen 3.

[0070] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "support frame 1 is provided with a guide groove 11 that penetrates in its own wall thickness direction" means that the guide groove 11 penetrates the support frame 1 in the wall thickness direction of the support frame 1.

[0071] Since the driving component 4 is located on the side of the support frame 1 away from the second display screen 3, the support frame 1 can be used to shield the driving component 4 to improve the appearance quality of the multi-screen display module and enhance the user's visual experience. On the other hand, it can also reduce the distance between the second display screen 3 and the support frame 1 to facilitate the miniaturization of the multi-screen display module.

[0072] Furthermore, refer to Figures 1 to 6 The support frame 1 has a decorative cover 12 on the side facing the second display screen 3. The guide groove 11 includes a receiving plate groove 112 provided on the support frame 1 and a receiving shaft groove 111 provided on the decorative cover 12. A sliding plate 113 is slidably connected in the receiving plate groove 112. The guide shaft 31 passes through the sliding plate 113 and is slidably connected to the receiving shaft groove 111.

[0073] It is understood that the receiving plate groove 112 and the receiving shaft groove 111 are interconnected and both extend along the first direction, that is, the length direction of the receiving plate groove 112 and the receiving shaft groove 111 are both parallel to the first direction. The width of the sliding plate 113 is greater than the diameter of the guide shaft 31, the width of the receiving shaft groove 111 is equal to the diameter of the guide shaft 31, the width of the receiving plate groove 112 is greater than the width of the receiving shaft groove 111, and the length of the receiving plate groove 112 is greater than the length of the receiving shaft groove 111. The sliding plate 113 is located between the second drive arm 42 and the decorative cover 12.

[0074] It should be noted that the width of the shaft groove 111 refers to the dimension of the shaft groove 111 perpendicular to its own length direction; the width of the plate groove 112 refers to the dimension of the plate groove 112 perpendicular to its own length direction.

[0075] Since the guide shaft 31 passes through the slide plate 113 and is slidably connected to the shaft groove 111, the guide shaft 31 can be positioned and limited by the groove wall of the shaft groove 111 and the slide plate 113, thereby increasing the stability of the guide shaft 31 and thus increasing the stability of the second display screen 3. Since the decorative cover 12 is located on the side of the support frame 1 facing the second display screen 3 and the slide plate 113 is slidably connected to the shaft groove 112, the second drive arm 42 and the decorative cover 12 can block the slide plate 113, thereby increasing the stability of the slide plate 113. At the same time, the decorative cover 12 and the slide plate 113 can also limit the axial movement of the second display screen 3 along the guide shaft 31, thereby increasing the stability of the second display screen 3.

[0076] This application does not specifically limit the connection method between the decorative cover 12 and the support frame 1. Preferably, the decorative cover 12 is integrally formed into the support frame 1. This increases the connection stability between the decorative cover 12 and the support frame 1, thereby increasing the blocking effect of the decorative cover 12 on the slide plate 113. Furthermore, it reduces the number of components required for assembling the multi-screen display module, thus improving the assembly efficiency. In other embodiments, the decorative cover 12 can also be connected to the support frame 1 by adhesive or screw fixing.

[0077] Preferably, the guide shaft 31 is located at the end of the slide plate 113 near the first display screen 2, so that when the second display screen 3 is in the second position, the slide plate 113 can block the shaft groove 111 to prevent dirt from entering the vehicle center console through the shaft groove 111 and the plate groove 112, and at the same time improve the user's visual experience.

[0078] The better one is to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the second display screen 3 is in the first position or the second position, the end of the slide plate 113 near the first display screen 2 abuts against the end wall of the receiving plate groove 112 near the first display screen 2, and the guide shaft 31 abuts against the end wall of the receiving shaft groove 111 near the first display screen 2; when the second drive arm 42 is parallel to the first drive arm 41, the end of the slide plate 113 away from the first display screen 2 abuts against the end arm of the receiving plate groove 112 away from the first display screen 2, and the guide shaft 31 abuts against the end wall of the receiving shaft groove 111 away from the first display screen 2, so that the movement range of the second display screen 3 can be limited by the cooperation between the slide plate 113 and the end wall of the receiving plate groove 112 and the guide shaft 31 and the end wall of the receiving shaft groove 111, so as to further increase the stability of the second display screen 3.

[0079] In other embodiments, the drive assembly 4 may also be located between the support frame 1 and the second display screen 3. The guide groove 11 is a T-shaped groove structure formed by the rib structure provided on the support frame 1, and the guide shaft 31 is adapted to the shape of the T-shaped groove so that the guide shaft 31 can slide relative to the T-shaped groove and can rotate relative to the T-shaped groove.

[0080] This application does not specify the method of fixing the guide shaft 31 to the second display screen 3. Preferably, refer to Figure 5 The support frame 1 is provided with a guide groove 11, and the second display screen 3 is provided with a boss 32 on the side facing the support frame 1. The boss 32 is provided with a guide shaft 31 that is slidably connected to the guide groove 11.

[0081] It is understandable that the boss 32 is fixedly connected to the second display screen 3, the end face of the boss 32 facing away from the second display screen 3 is flat, and the guide shaft 31 is vertically fixedly connected to the end face of the boss 32 facing away from the second display screen 3, so that the guide shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the second display screen 3 through the boss 32.

[0082] Since the second display screen 3 has a boss 32 on the side facing the support frame 1, and the guide shaft 31 is located on the boss 32, after the second display screen 3 is installed on the support frame 1, the second display screen 3 contacts the support frame 1 through the boss 32. This ensures the stability of the second display screen 3 while reducing the contact area between the second display screen 3 and the support frame 1, thereby reducing the friction force that the second display screen 3 needs to overcome when rotating. This ensures the smoothness of the rotation process of the second display screen 3, reduces the load on the drive components, and reduces the power of the drive components. Furthermore, it avoids the situation where the second display screen 3 cannot cover the scratched areas on the support frame 1 when it is in the second position due to the large contact area between the second display screen 3 and the support frame 1, thus further improving the user experience.

[0083] In other embodiments, the boss 32 can be omitted, and the guide shaft 31 can be directly fixed to the second display screen 3.

[0084] This application does not specifically limit the power supply method of the second display screen 3. Preferably, the guide shaft 31 has a central hole so that the wiring harness used to power the second display screen 3 can pass through the central hole and be electrically connected to the second display screen 3 to provide power to the second display screen 3. In other embodiments, the power supply method of the second display screen 3 may also refer to the prior art.

[0085] This application also discloses a vehicle that includes the multi-screen display module as described above.

[0086] Because the vehicle in this application uses the aforementioned multi-screen display module, the second display screen 3 can rotate to meet the different observation and operation needs of users, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0087] For any parts not mentioned in this application, existing technologies may be used or referenced.

[0088] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0089] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
