Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle equipment, and in particular to a vehicle operation button with imaging function and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As the trend of automotive intelligence deepens, the technological atmosphere inside the cabin is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Various components within the cabin are being updated and redesigned to reflect this technological advancement. However, the numerous physical function buttons distributed across the center console, steering wheel, and door panels have seen almost no innovative changes. Buttons covering functions such as air conditioning, seat temperature control, and driving mode switching still largely retain traditional designs. The icons on these traditional buttons are permanently fixed at the factory, preventing users from adjusting them according to personal preferences or adapting them to different usage scenarios. This contradiction between static representation and dynamic user needs becomes increasingly incongruous in the ever-increasing emphasis on personalized intelligent mobility. Utility Model Content

[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vehicle operation button 10 includes a housing 11 and an imaging component 15. The imaging component 15 is at least partially housed within the housing 11. It can be understood that the imaging component 15 can be fully housed within the housing or partially housed within the housing. In this utility model, the imaging component 15 is partially housed within the housing as an example for description and illustration.

[0056] As one embodiment, the vehicle operation button 10 is cylindrical in shape, which facilitates the twisting operation.

[0057] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The outer casing 11 includes an end face 111, a casing body 110, and an end face 112. The casing body 110 is cylindrical, and the end face 111 and the end face 112 are disposed at opposite ends of the casing body 110. The length of the outer casing 11 in the optical path forward direction is less than or equal to 100 mm, and further, the length of the outer casing 11 in the optical path forward direction is less than or equal to 98 mm.

[0059] In one embodiment, end face 111 is integrally formed with the first outer shell 12, while end face 112 is separately manufactured from the second outer shell 14. End face 112 is then glued to the end of the second outer shell 14 using adhesive or the like. In other embodiments, end face 111 and the first outer shell 12 can also be manufactured separately and then glued to the end of the first outer shell 12 using adhesive or the like.

[0060] In one embodiment, the outer wall dimension of the end of the first outer shell 12 near the second outer shell 14 is equal to the inner wall dimension of the end of the second outer shell 14 near the first outer shell 12, meaning the first outer shell 12 and the second outer shell 14 are plugged together for fixation. In another embodiment, the inner wall dimension of the end of the first outer shell 12 near the second outer shell 14 is equal to the outer wall dimension of the end of the second outer shell 14 near the first outer shell 12, meaning the end of the first outer shell 12 near the second outer shell 14 is plugged into the end of the second outer shell 14 near the first outer shell 12. No screws, screw holes, etc., are needed on the outer surfaces of the first outer shell 12 and the second outer shell 14, resulting in better product integration.

[0061] As one embodiment, the imaging component 15 includes an image source (not shown) and an optical component 151. The light emitted by the image source passes through end face 111 and enters the interior of the housing 11. After being processed by the optical component 151, the light is projected onto end face 112.

[0062] As one embodiment, a through hole 120 is provided on end face 111. An image source is attached to end face 111, and the light-emitting area of ​​the image source corresponds to the through hole 120. The light emitted from the light-emitting area of ​​the image source enters the housing 11 through the through hole 120. After being processed by the optical component 151, the light is projected onto end face 112 to form an image visible to the user.

[0063] As one embodiment, the ratio of the area of ​​the through hole 120 to the image area on the second end face 112 is 1:(1.3-1.8). Further, the ratio of the area of ​​the through hole 120 to the image area on the second end face 112 is 1:(1.5-1.8).

[0064] As one embodiment, the first outer shell 12 and the second outer shell 14 are opaque, and the light transmittance of the second end face 112 is greater than 30%, and further greater than 40% and 50%. The second end face 112 is a diffuser with a diffusion angle of 60°-80°.

[0065] As one embodiment, end face 112 serves as a small projection screen, possessing a certain degree of rigidity. Its surface can be used as a touch-sensitive surface for buttons, and touch circuitry can be integrated within it. Preferably, the control circuitry is integrated in a position that does not obstruct light.

[0066] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the optical component 151 includes a first optical component group 1511 and a second optical component group 1512. The first optical component group 1511 and the second optical component group 1512 are arranged along the light propagation direction and each includes multiple lenses. The first optical component group 1511 is fixed to one end of the first housing 12 near the second housing 14, and the second optical component group 1512 is fixed to one end of the second housing 14 near the first housing 12.

[0067] As one embodiment, the distance between the first optical component group 1511 and end face 111 is less than or equal to 28 mm, and further less than or equal to 25 mm. The distance between the second optical component group 1512 and end face 112 is less than or equal to 48 mm, and further less than or equal to 47 mm. The diameter of the housing 11 is less than or equal to 50 mm, and further less than or equal to 46 mm.

[0068] Along the direction of light propagation, the first optical component group 1511 includes lens 1511a and lens 2 1511b, and the second optical component group 1512 includes lens 3 1512a, lens 4 1512b, aperture 1513, lens 5 1512c, lens 6 1512d and lens 7 1512e. Lenses 3 1512a, 4 1512b, 5 1512c, 6 1512d and 7 1512e alternately converge and diverge the light emitted from the image source. That is, the light converges at lens 3 1512a, diverges at lens 4 1512b, converges again at lens 5 1512c, diverges at lens 6 1512d, and finally converges at lens 7 1512e before being projected onto end face 2 112.

[0069] To optimize the image display effect, lens 1 (1511a) and lens 2 (1511b) were set. Lens 1 (1511a) and lens 2 (1511b) produce positive distortion to offset the negative distortion produced by lens 4 (1512b).

[0070] As one embodiment, lens 1511a has an outwardly convex left and right side faces, with a right radius greater than the left radius and a center thickness greater than the edge thickness. Lenses 2 1511b and 3 1512a both have an outwardly convex left side face and an inwardly convex right side face, with a left radius greater than the right radius and a center thickness greater than the edge thickness. Lens 4 1512b has a flat left side face and a concave right side face. Lens 5 1512c has an outwardly convex left and right side faces, with a right radius greater than the left radius and a center thickness greater than the edge thickness. Lens 6 1512d has a concave left side face and a flat right side face. Lens 7 1512e has a flat left side face and an outwardly convex right side face. Lenses 1511a to 1512e, in combination with aperture 1513, can achieve high-quality imaging on end face 112. It can be understood that "left" and "right" in this paragraph refer to the direction of light propagation; taking lens 1511a as an example... Figure 4 In the image, the bottom surface of lens 1511a is on the left, and the top surface is on the right.

[0071] As one embodiment, lens one 1511a has a left radius of 41.32±5mm, a right radius of 61.46±5mm, a center thickness of 3.8±1mm, and an edge thickness of 1.75±0.8mm. Lens two 1511b has a left radius of 58.85±5mm, a right radius of 31.42±5mm, a center thickness of 4.64±1mm, and an edge thickness of 2±0.8mm. Lens three 1512a has a left radius of 11±2mm, a right radius of 8.5±2mm, a center thickness of 2.51±1mm, and an edge thickness of 2±0.8mm. Lens four 1512b has a left radius of 7.79±1.5mm, a center thickness of 1.1±0.5mm, and an edge thickness of 2±1mm. Lens 5 (1512c) has a left radius of 17.18±3mm, a right radius of 29.05±5mm, a center thickness of 3±1mm, and an edge thickness of 1.3±0.8mm. Lens 6 (1512d) has a right radius of 12.84±2mm, a center thickness of 2.5±1mm, and an edge thickness of 2±1mm. Lens 7 (1512e) has a left radius of 8.94±2mm, a center thickness of 3.8±1mm, and an edge thickness of 1±0.5mm. Aperture 1513 has an aperture of 2.5-3.5mm. Under these parameters, the vehicle operation button 10 can achieve very good imaging results on end face 2 (112) within a small size.

[0072] As one embodiment, air gaps are provided between each pair of lenses 1511a to 1512e. These air gaps refer to the gaps between lenses along the optical axis, specifically the gaps along the lens's central axis. The purpose of providing these air gaps includes:

[0073] First, aberration correction; when different lenses (such as convex lenses and concave lenses) are combined, the change in air gap can specifically counteract various aberrations such as spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, and coma, allowing light to converge more accurately onto the focal plane and improving image clarity. Especially in telephoto or large aperture lenses, it can significantly reduce edge blurring and color shift.

[0074] Secondly, it controls optical performance; reasonable air gaps can optimize the relative aperture and field of view of the lens, while reducing the interference of reflected light between lenses, reducing problems such as glare and ghosting, improving image contrast and image resolution, and replacing a single complex lens to achieve more precise optical path control.

[0075] Third, the structure and process are compatible; it provides the necessary physical space for lens assembly, avoids direct contact and wear of the lenses, and facilitates the addition of special components (such as aperture 1513) between lenses, taking into account the feasibility of optical design and mechanical structure.

[0076] Fourth, simplifying the optical structure: compared to relying on special lenses with high refractive index, a reasonable air gap of 174 can reduce the number of lenses, thereby reducing the reflection loss of light between multiple lenses and improving light transmittance while controlling the size and weight of the lens.

[0077] As one embodiment, the air gap between lens 1 (1511a) and lens 2 (1511b), and the air gap between lens 2 (1511b) and lens 3 (1512a) are both 0.3 ± 0.1 mm. The air gap between lens 3 (1512a) and lens 4 (1512b) is 1.2 ± 0.2 mm. The air gap between lens 4 (1512b) and lens 5 (1512c) is 2.6 ± 0.5 mm. The air gap between lens 5 (1512c) and lens 6 (1512d) is 0.8 ± 0.2 mm. The air gap between lens 6 (1512d) and lens 7 (1512e) is 0-0.4 mm.

[0078] It is understandable that the vehicle operation button 10 with imaging function can be scaled up or down according to the actual size required.

[0079] Please see Figures 5 to 9As one embodiment, the first optical component group 1511 is provided with first limiting structures 181 on both sides of the first housing 12 in the radial direction, that is, two of the first limiting structures 181 in the same pair are distributed in the radial direction of the first housing 12. The first optical component group 1511 is limited by a pair of first limiting structures 181. It can be understood that the number of first limiting structures 181 is at least one pair, or there can be multiple pairs, such as multiple lenses in the first optical component 151 being limited by different pairs of first limiting structures 181.

[0080] As one embodiment, the second optical component group 1512 is provided with second limiting structures 182 on both sides of the second housing 14 in the radial direction, that is, two of the second limiting structures 182 in the same pair are distributed in the radial direction of the second housing 14. The second optical component group 1512 is at least partially limited by a pair of second limiting structures 182. It can be understood that the number of second limiting structures 182 is at least one pair, or there can be multiple pairs, such that the lenses in the second optical component group 1512 are limited by different pairs of second limiting structures 182. In the figure, the second limiting structures 182 include two pairs: a lower second limiting structure 182a and an upper second limiting structure 182b. Lens three 1512a and lens four 1512b are limited by a pair of second limiting structures 182a, while lenses four 1512b to seven 1512e are limited by another pair of second limiting structures 182b. Some components of the second optical component group 1512 are not limited by the second limiting structure 182, such as the aperture 1513.

[0081] As one embodiment, a limiting groove 180a is formed on the side of the first limiting structure 181 facing the first optical component group 1511; a limiting groove 180a is formed on the side of the second limiting structure 182 facing the second optical component group 1512. It can be understood that the opposite ends of the lens are accommodated in the limiting groove 180a to limit the position of the lens.

[0082] As one embodiment, a pair of first fixing structures 121 are provided on the inner wall of the first housing 12, and the pair of first fixing structures 121 are distributed on opposite sides of the first optical component group 1511. Specifically, the pair of first fixing structures 121 are distributed in the radial direction of the first housing 12. The first limiting structure 181 and the first fixing structure 121 are fixed together by a first connector (not shown), thereby realizing the fixation of the first optical component group 1511 in the first housing 12.

[0083] As a specific embodiment, the first fixing structure 121 is a fixing post extending from the bottom of the end face 111. The fixing post is provided with a mounting hole (unnumbered) for the first connector to pass through. The first connector can be a screw or rivet, etc., which passes through the first limiting structure 181 and then into the mounting hole, thereby realizing the fixing between the first optical component group 1511 and the first outer shell 12.

[0084] It is understood that the specific forms of the first fixing structure 121 and the first limiting structure 181 are not limited, as long as they can cooperate with each other to fix and limit the first optical component group 1511.

[0085] As one embodiment, the fixing post has support plates 122 on both sides along the circumferential direction of the first housing 12 for supporting the first limiting structure 181. The support plates 122 can be formed by extending from the side or end face 111 of the first housing 12. The presence of the support plates 122 makes it easy to position the first limiting structure 181 during installation, facilitating the fixing of the first limiting structure 181 and the first optical component group 1511 in the first housing 12.

[0086] As one embodiment, a pair of second fixing structures 142 are provided on the inner wall of the second housing 14. Specifically, the pair of second fixing structures 142 are distributed in the radial direction of the first housing 12. The second limiting structure 182 and the second fixing structure 142 are fixed together by a second connector, thereby realizing the fixation of the second optical component group 1512 in the second housing 14.

[0087] In one specific embodiment, the second fixing structure 142 is a plate extending from the inner wall of the second housing 14, which extends radially along the second housing 14. The plate has mounting holes for a second connector to pass through; the second connector can be a screw or rivet, which passes through the second limiting structure 182 and then into the mounting holes on the plate, thereby achieving the fixation between the second optical component group 1512 and the second housing 14.

[0088] As one embodiment, a positioning protrusion 141 is provided on the side of the plate away from the end face 112. The area enclosed by the positioning protrusion 141 has the same shape as one end of the first limiting structure 181. During installation, the top of the first limiting structure 181 is located in the area enclosed by the positioning protrusion 141 to form a limit, which facilitates the next step of installation.

[0089] It is understood that the specific form of the second fixing structure 142 and the second limiting structure 182 is not limited, as long as the two can cooperate with each other to fix and limit the second optical component group 1512.

[0090] As one embodiment, the top of the second limiting structure 182 is provided with a protrusion 1821, and the bottom of the third limiting structure 183 is provided with a recessed area 1831. During installation, the protrusion 1821 is accommodated in the recessed area 1831 to limit relative movement between the second limiting structure 182 and the third limiting structure 183.

[0091] As one embodiment, the distribution direction of the aforementioned pair of first fixing structures 121 and pair of first limiting structures 181 is perpendicular to the distribution direction of the pair of second fixing structures 142 and pair of second limiting structures 182. Since the lens can be adjusted in four vertical directions, it is convenient to manually adjust to reduce the lens group eccentricity, that is, to reduce the phenomenon that the optical axis of each component in the optical assembly 151 does not coincide with the designed reference optical axis.

[0092] It can be understood that the distribution direction of the pair of first fixing structures 121 is based on the line connecting the connection positions of the first fixing structure 121 and the first connector. The distribution direction of the pair of first limiting structures 181 is based on the line connecting the connection positions of the first limiting structure 181 and the first connector. The distribution direction of the pair of second fixing structures 142 is based on the line connecting the connection positions of the second fixing structure 142 and the second connector. The distribution direction of the pair of second limiting structures 182 is based on the line connecting the connection positions of the second limiting structure 182 and the second connector.

[0093] As one embodiment, a pair of third fixing structures 143 are provided on the inner wall of the second outer shell 14, and the third fixing structures 143 are staggered from the second fixing structures 142. Specifically, their distribution directions are perpendicular. The third fixing structure 143 extends along the axial direction of the second outer shell 14 and extends into the first outer shell 12. The projection of the position of the third fixing structure 143 in the axial direction of the outer shell 11 coincides with the position of the first fixing structure 121. During installation, the first connector passes through the third fixing structure 143 and fixes it to the first fixing structure 121 to fix the first outer shell 12 and the second outer shell 14. This further stably connects the first outer shell 12 and the second outer shell 14. In this way, there is no need to provide screw holes, threads, etc. on the outside of the first outer shell 12 and the second outer shell 14, which is beneficial to the integrated shape of the outer shell 11.

[0094] During assembly, the vehicle operation button 10 positions the first optical component group 1511 within the first housing 12 via the first limiting structure 181, and installs the second optical component group 1512 within the second housing 14 via the second limiting structure 182 and the second connector. The first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are then connected. The top of the first limiting structure 181 is accommodated within the area enclosed by the positioning protrusion 141 of the second fixing structure 142 away from the end face 112. The first connector extends into the second housing 14 via the end of the housing body 110 near the end face 112. Furthermore, after the first connector passes through the mounting holes on the first fixing structure 121 and the third fixing structure 143, the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are fixed together.

[0095] This utility model also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle panel and vehicle operation buttons with imaging function as described above, wherein the vehicle operation buttons with imaging function are disposed through the vehicle panel.

[0096] It is particularly important to emphasize that the specific numerical selection of the various parameters involved in this utility model not only requires the inventor to possess a theoretical foundation far exceeding that of ordinary personnel in the field, but also necessitates creative experimentation and selection based on the expected design results, supplemented by several arduous trials, before the desired target results can be obtained. The determination of these values ​​cannot be achieved by those skilled in the art without creative effort.

[0097] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-mentioned preferred solutions can be freely combined and superimposed without conflict. It should be understood that the above-described embodiments are merely exemplary and not restrictive. Various obvious or equivalent modifications or substitutions made by those skilled in the art regarding the above details without departing from the basic principles of this utility model will be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
