In the stowed position, the load-bearing surface faces the interior of the dashboard, and the exterior surface is exposed outside the dashboard to form part of the dashboard's exterior surface. In the unfolded position, the load-bearing surface of the first table faces upward.

[0006] Optionally, the vehicle-mounted table assembly further includes a second table, which is movably disposed on the dashboard. The second table has a hidden position and an exposed position. In the hidden position, the second table is located inside the dashboard. In the exposed position, at least a portion of the second table is located outside the dashboard. The first table is rotatably connected to the second table and can move synchronously with the second table.

[0007] Optionally, the vehicle-mounted table assembly further includes a mounting base disposed within the dashboard. The second table is movably disposed on the mounting base. One of the first table and the mounting base is provided with a first locking structure, and the other is provided with a first mating structure. The second table is in the hidden position and the first table is in the stowed position. The first locking structure and the first mating structure can be mated together to unlockably lock the mounting base and the first table.

[0008] Optionally, the first tabletop includes a first receiving chamber, the first locking structure is disposed in the first receiving chamber and includes a movable first locking member, the first receiving chamber has a clearance hole through which the first locking member movably passes, the first mating structure includes a first slot disposed on the mounting base, and the first locking member can be inserted into the first slot to lock the mounting base and the first tabletop.

[0009] Optionally, the mounting base or the first receiving cavity is provided with a first driving member, which is used to drive the first locking member to insert into and / or disengage from the first slot; and / or, the number of the first locking members is at least two, and the first receiving cavity is provided with a first synchronizer, which is used to connect two adjacent first locking members so that the two first locking members can move synchronously; and / or, the first receiving cavity is provided with a first elastic member, which is used to provide elastic force for the first locking member to be inserted into the first slot; and / or, the mounting base and / or the first locking member is provided with a guide structure, which is used to guide the first locking member to be inserted into the first slot.

[0010] Optionally, a second elastic member is provided between the first tabletop and the second tabletop, the second elastic member being used to provide elastic force for the first tabletop to switch from the storage position to the unfolded position; and / or, a damper is provided between the first tabletop and the second tabletop.

[0011] Optionally, the mounting base includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate spaced apart, with a second receiving chamber formed between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate for accommodating the second tabletop; and / or, one of the second tabletop and the mounting base is provided with a second locking structure, and the other is provided with a second mating structure, the second locking structure being able to engage with the second mating structure to lock the second tabletop in the concealed position; and / or, the mounting base is provided with a gear damper, and the second tabletop is provided with a toothed structure extending along its own moving direction, the toothed structure being meshed with the gear damper; and / or, the mounting base is provided with a third elastic member, the third elastic member being used to provide elastic force for at least a portion of the second tabletop to move outside the dashboard.

[0014] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle including the aforementioned vehicle-mounted table assembly.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, when the first table panel of this disclosure is in the folded position, its bearing surface can face the inside of the dashboard, and its outer surface can face the outside of the dashboard. That is, the outer surface of the first table panel can become part of the dashboard's outer surface. This saves space occupied by the first table panel in the folded state and also ensures the aesthetics of the vehicle's interior when the first table panel is folded. When the first table panel is needed, it can be simply rotated from the folded position to the unfolded position. Based on this, the vehicle-mounted table panel assembly installed on the dashboard of this disclosure does not require other connecting structures on the outside of the dashboard, and the outer surface of the first table panel can be part of the dashboard's outer surface. Therefore, while simplifying the use of the first table panel, it reduces the space occupied by the vehicle-mounted table panel assembly when not in use, maintains the aesthetics of the vehicle's interior, and improves the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0020] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" generally refer to the "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" positions of a vehicle during normal driving. For details, please refer to... Figures 2 to 4 In the drawings shown, "inner" and "outer" refer to "inner" and "outer" relative to the contour of the corresponding component itself. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., used in this disclosure are for distinguishing one element from another and do not indicate sequence or importance. Additionally, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The above definitions are for explanation and illustration only and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0021] The vehicle-mounted table assembly in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] refer to Figures 1 to 8As shown, in a first aspect of this disclosure, a vehicle-mounted table assembly is provided, including a first table 1. The first table 1 is rotatably mounted on a dashboard 100 of a vehicle and has a bearing surface 101 and an exterior surface 102 facing away from each other. The first table 1 may have a stowed position and an unfolded position. In the stowed position, the bearing surface 101 faces the interior of the dashboard 100, and the exterior surface 102 is exposed outside the dashboard 100 to serve as part of the exterior surface of the dashboard 100. In the unfolded position, the bearing surface 101 of the first table 1 faces upward.

[0023] When the user does not need to use the first table 1, the first table 1 can be in a storage position, and at least part of its outer surface 102 can be part of the outer surface of the dashboard 100. That is, the shape and / or color and other features of the outer surface 102 of the first table 1 can be adapted to the shape and / or color of the dashboard 100, so that when the first table 1 is in the storage position, the first table 1 can be roughly integrated with the dashboard 100. In this way, the space occupied by the vehicle table assembly when not in use can be reduced, and the aesthetics of the vehicle interior can be guaranteed. When a user needs to use the first tabletop 1, they only need to rotate it. This will cause the first tabletop 1 to flip outwards towards the dashboard 100 and rotate to the unfolded position. In the unfolded position, the supporting surface 101 of the first tabletop 1 is exposed and facing upwards, while the outer surface 102 of the first tabletop 1 can face downwards. The user can place items on the supporting surface 101 of the first tabletop 1 for easy use. After using the first tabletop 1, simply rotate it in the opposite direction to rotate it from the unfolded position to the folded position. The whole process is simple, convenient, and easy for users to use.

[0024] Based on this, the in-vehicle table assembly installed on the dashboard 100 does not require any other connecting structures to be installed on the outside of the dashboard 100, and the outer surface 102 of the first table 1 can be part of the outer surface of the dashboard 100. As a result, the space occupied by the in-vehicle table assembly when not in use is reduced and the aesthetics of the vehicle interior are maintained, thereby improving the user experience.

[0025] Furthermore, the shape of the outer surface 102 of the first table panel 1 can be adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the dashboard 100 near the installation position of the first table panel 1. For example, the dashboard 100 can be provided with an arc-shaped structure, and correspondingly, the outer surface 102 of the first table panel 1 can also be constructed as an arc-shaped surface. The arc-shaped structure of the dashboard 100 can be provided with an installation space for arranging the vehicle table panel assembly. When the first table panel 1 is in the storage position, its arc-shaped surface can be configured in conjunction with the arc-shaped structure to jointly form the outer surface of the dashboard 100. This disclosure does not specifically limit the specific shape of the outer surface 102, as long as it can be adapted to the shape of the dashboard 100.

[0026] In embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle-mounted table assembly may further include a second table 2, which is movably mounted on the dashboard 100. The second table 2 has a hidden position and an exposed position. In the hidden position, the second table 2 is located inside the dashboard 100. In the exposed position, at least a portion of the second table 2 is located outside the dashboard 100. The first table 1 is rotatably connected to the second table 2 and can move synchronously with the second table 2. When not in use, the second table 2 is in the hidden position, i.e., inside the dashboard 100. This avoids the second table 2 occupying space outside the dashboard 100 and makes full use of the space inside the dashboard 100. Users can choose to use the first table 1 or both the first table 1 and the second table 2 according to their own needs, thereby meeting diverse user requirements.

[0027] For example, when a user needs to place small items such as a mobile phone or a water cup, only the first tabletop 1 can be used. After the user flips the first tabletop 1, which is in the storage position, outward, the bearing surface 101 is exposed. Then, the user can place the small items that need to be placed directly on the bearing surface 101 of the first tabletop 1.

[0028] When users need to use large items such as laptops or tablets, they can flip out the first table 1 and pull out the second table 2, which is hidden in the hidden position, so that the second table 2 is in the display position. The first table 1 and the second table 2 work together to increase the usable area of ​​the vehicle table assembly, thereby providing sufficient space for placing large items.

[0029] As can be seen, the arrangement of the first table 1 and the second table 2 allows users to adjust the usable space of the vehicle table components to a certain extent, thereby meeting different user needs and improving the user experience.

[0030] Since the space between the vehicle's seats, such as the front passenger seat and the dashboard 100, is limited, the size of the first table 1 can be set to be relatively small, as long as it can stably support small items.

[0031] In addition, users can select the length of the second pull-out tabletop 2 according to the size and quantity of the items they need to place.

[0032] Furthermore, if a display screen 400 is installed on the dashboard 100, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the vehicle-mounted table assembly can be roughly located at the bottom of the display screen 400. Depending on the positions of the first table panel 1 and the second table panel 2, the display screen 400 and these panels can have different relative positions. For example, in both the hidden and displayed positions, at least a portion of the second table panel 2 can be located at the bottom of the display screen 400 and positioned as close to it as possible. When the first table panel 1 is in the unfolded position and the second table panel 2 is in the hidden position, the junction of the first table panel 1 and the second table panel 2 can be located at the bottom of the display screen 400. When the first table panel 1 is in the stowed position and the second table panel 2 is in the hidden position, the first table panel 1 can partially obscure the bottom area of ​​the display screen 400 in the front-to-back direction. The display interface of the display screen 400 can be adjusted to different aspect ratios depending on the position of the first table panel 1, thereby facilitating user access to the vehicle-mounted table assembly while avoiding interference with the normal operation of the display screen 400. In some possible implementations, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle-mounted table assembly may also include a mounting base 3, which is disposed within the dashboard 100. The second table 2 is movably disposed on the mounting base 3. One of the first table 1 and the mounting base 3 is provided with a first locking structure 4, and the other is provided with a first mating structure 5. The second table 2 is in a hidden position and the first table 1 is in a stowed position. The first locking structure 4 and the first mating structure 5 can be mated and connected to unlockably lock the mounting base 3 and the first table 1.

[0033] The mounting base 3 is located inside the dashboard 100. It can provide effective support for the first table 1 and the second table 2 while avoiding occupying space outside the dashboard 100. The first locking structure 4 and the first mating structure 5 can lock the first table 1 in the storage position when the user is not using the vehicle table assembly. Thus, the first table 1 can also restrict the movement of the second table 2, so that the second table 2 can be kept in the hidden position. This can prevent the first table 1 and the second table 2 from falling out of the mounting base 3 due to shaking during vehicle operation.

[0034] In addition, since the first locking structure 4 or the first mating structure 5 can be set on the mounting base 3, these structures can also be hidden to a certain extent, thereby reducing the space occupied by the vehicle table assembly on the external surface of the dashboard 100 while ensuring the aesthetics of the vehicle interior.

[0035] In addition, the mounting base 3 can be installed inside the instrument panel 100 by fasteners such as bolts or screws. This disclosure does not specify the connection method between the mounting base 3 and the instrument panel 100, as long as the two can be stably connected.

[0036] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, the first tabletop 1 may include a first receiving chamber 200, a first locking structure 4 disposed in the first receiving chamber 200 and including a movable first locking member 401, the first receiving chamber 200 having a clearance hole through which the first locking member 401 movably passes, and a first mating structure 5 including a first slot 501 disposed on the mounting base 3, the first locking member 401 being able to be inserted into the first slot 501 to lock the mounting base 3 and the first tabletop 1. The first locking structure 4 is disposed within the first receiving chamber 200, such that the first receiving chamber 200 can at least hide the main body of the first locking structure 4, thus preventing the main body of the first locking structure 4 from being exposed and affecting the aesthetics of the vehicle interior. For example, the first table 1 may include a first plate and a second plate. The first plate may be constructed as a planar plate, and the second plate may be constructed as an arc-shaped plate. When the first plate is in the storage position, the arc-shaped plate can be adapted to the structure of the dashboard 100. The second plate can be connected to the first plate to form the first receiving chamber 200 together with the first plate. The outer surface of the first plate can form a bearing surface 101, and the arc-shaped outer surface of the second plate can form an outer trim surface 102.

[0037] When the first tabletop 1 is in the folded position, the first locking member 401 can be inserted into the first slot 501 through the clearance hole, thereby locking the first tabletop 1 in the folded position. When the user needs to use the first tabletop 1, the first locking member 401 can be moved out of the first slot 501 to unlock the first tabletop 1 and the mounting base 3.

[0038] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first locking member 401 can be inserted into or disengaged from the first slot 501 in various ways. For example, a first driving member 6 may be provided within the mounting base 3 or the first receiving chamber 200. The first driving member 6 is used to drive the first locking member 401 to insert into and / or disengage from the first slot 501. The first driving member 6 may include a driving part 601 and a connecting part 602. Alternatively, the first driving member 6 may include a driving part 601, wherein the driving part 601 may be constructed as a linear motor or an electric push rod, and the connecting part 602 may be constructed as a rod-shaped structure. This allows the first driving member 6 to drive the first locking member 401 to insert into and / or disengage from the first slot 501.

[0039] For example, when both the first driving member 6 and the first locking member 401 are disposed in the first receiving chamber 200, the first driving member 6 may include a connecting part 602, and the first locking member 401 may be connected to the output end of the first driving member 6. In this way, when it is necessary to insert the first locking member 401 into the first slot 501, the first driving member 6 may drive the first locking member 401 toward the first slot 501 and insert it into the first slot 501 when the first tabletop 1 is in the storage position, thereby achieving locking between the first tabletop 1 and the mounting base 3; when the user needs to use the first tabletop 1, the first driving member 6 may drive the first locking member 401 to move in the opposite direction to disengage from the first slot 501, thereby achieving unlocking between the first tabletop 1 and the mounting base 3.

[0040] Or, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, when the first driving member 6 is mounted on the mounting base 3, the first driving member 6 may include a driving part 601 and a connecting part 602. The output end of the driving part 601, for example, a linear motor, can be connected to the connecting part 602, for example, a rod. When the first tabletop 1 is in the retracted position, the connecting part 602 and the first locking member 401 can be arranged opposite to each other in the extending direction of the first slot 501. The first locking member 401 can be inserted into the first slot 501 from one side under the elastic force of an elastic member, thereby locking the first tabletop 1 and the mounting base 3. When the user needs to use the first tabletop 1, the driving part 601 can drive the connecting part 602 to enter the first slot 501 from the other side. This allows the driving part 601 to abut against the first locking member 401 in the first slot 501 and push the first locking member 401 out of the first slot 501, thereby unlocking the first tabletop 1 and the mounting base 3.

[0041] In addition, in order to improve the stability of the first table 1 and the mounting base 3 after locking, multiple first slots 501 and multiple first locking members 401 can be provided. Multiple first slots 501 can be located on the same side of the mounting base 3 in the left-right direction, or they can be set on the left and right sides of the mounting base 3 respectively. Multiple first locking members 401 can be set one-to-one with the first slots 501, so that there are multiple locking points between the first table 1 and the mounting base 3.

[0042] For example, such as Figure 2As shown, the number of first locking members 401 can be at least two. A first synchronizer 7 is provided in the first receiving chamber 200. The first synchronizer 7 can be used to connect two adjacent first locking members 401 so that the two first locking members 401 can move synchronously. The first synchronizer 7 may include a gear structure, and the two first locking members 401 may be provided with a rack structure to mesh with the first synchronizer 7. The first locking members 401 can move in the left and right directions of the first receiving chamber 200. Among the two first locking members 401 connected to the same first synchronizer 7, one can extend from the left side of the first receiving chamber 200 and be inserted into the first slot 501 located on the left side of the first receiving chamber 200, and the other first locking member 401 can extend from the right side of the first receiving chamber 200 and be inserted into the first slot 501 located on the right side of the first receiving chamber 200. In this way, the first table 1 can be limited from both sides, thereby improving the stability of the first table 1 and the mounting base 3 after locking.

[0043] In some embodiments not shown, multiple first synchronizers 7 may be provided, and multiple first synchronizers 7 may be spaced apart in the first receiving chamber 200. In this way, more first locking members 401 can be linked to ensure the connection stability between the first table 1 and the mounting base 3.

[0044] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first elastic member 8 can be provided inside the first receiving chamber 200. The first elastic member 8 is used to provide elastic force for the first locking member 401 to be inserted into the first slot 501. One end of the first elastic member 8 can be connected to the first receiving chamber 200, and the other end can be connected to the first locking member 401. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member 8, the end of the first locking member 401 can protrude outward from the first receiving chamber 200. Thus, when the first tabletop 1 needs to be flipped to the storage position, the first elastic member 8 can undergo elastic deformation, such as compression, and the end of the first locking member 401 will retract into the first receiving chamber 200. The elastic member 8 applies a spring force to the first locking member 401, which moves outward toward the first receiving chamber 200. When the first tabletop 1 is flipped to the storage position, the first locking member 401 is inserted into the first slot 501 under the action of the spring force, thereby achieving locking between the first tabletop 1 and the mounting base 3. When the first tabletop 1 needs to be used, the first driving member 6 can drive the first locking member 401 to disengage from the first slot 501. At this time, the first elastic member 8 is compressed, and during the process of the first tabletop 1 switching from the storage position to the unfolded position, the first elastic member 8 can provide a spring force to the first locking member 401 and allow its end to protrude outward from the first receiving chamber 200.

[0045] In addition, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a guide structure 9 may be provided on the mounting base 3 and / or the first locking member 401. The guide structure 9 can be used to guide the first locking member 401 to be inserted into the first slot 501. For example, the guide structure 9 can be constructed as a slope. When the guide structure 9 is provided on the mounting base 3 and the first locking member 401 is provided with the first elastic member 8, during the process of the first table 1 flipping from the unfolded position to the storage position, the end of the first locking member 401 protruding from the first receiving chamber 200 can abut against the slope. During the movement of the first table 1, the slope will gradually push the end of the first locking member 401 into the interior of the first receiving chamber 200. Thus, the first elastic member 8 can be compressed. After the first table 1 flips to the storage position, the elastic force applied by the first elastic member 8 to the first locking member 401 will push the end of the first locking member 401 into the first slot 501, thereby realizing the locking of the first table 1 and the mounting base 3.

[0046] In embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, a second elastic element 10 is provided between the first tabletop 1 and the second tabletop 2. The second elastic element 10 can provide the elastic force for the first tabletop 1 to switch from the retracted position to the unfolded position. The second elastic element 10 allows the first tabletop 1 to flip from the retracted position to the unfolded position under the elastic force of the second elastic element 10 after the lock between the first tabletop 1 and the mounting base 3 is unlocked. Thus, the first tabletop 1 can be switched from the retracted position to the unfolded position without manual operation by the user, improving the efficiency of using the first tabletop 1 and the user experience. For example, the second elastic element 10 can be configured as a torsion spring hinge, with two hinges 18 coaxially connected to the first tabletop 1 and the second tabletop 2 respectively. The torsion spring 19 in the torsion spring hinge can also be coaxially connected to the hinges 18, with the two ends of the torsion spring 19 connected to the two hinges 18 respectively. In this way, when the first tabletop 1 is in the retracted position, the two hinges 18 are closed together, and the torsion spring 19 generates the elastic force to switch the first tabletop 1 from the retracted position to the unfolded position.

[0047] In addition, a damper is provided between the first tabletop 1 and the second tabletop 2. The damper allows the first tabletop 1 to be smoothly flipped from the storage position to the unfolded position, avoiding accidents such as the first tabletop 1 bumping into the user due to excessive flipping speed.

[0048] In embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 6As shown, the mounting base 3 may include a first mounting plate 301 and a second mounting plate 302 spaced apart. A second receiving chamber 300 for accommodating the second table 2 is formed between the first mounting plate 301 and the second mounting plate 302. Since the second table 2 can move in the front-rear direction, the second receiving chamber 300 between the first mounting plate 301 and the second mounting plate 302 can make full use of the space inside the dashboard 100, especially the space inside the dashboard 100 in the vertical direction. This improves the space utilization rate inside the vehicle dashboard 100 and avoids the situation where the mounting base 3 and the second table 2, which can be located inside the dashboard 100, occupy too much space inside the dashboard 100 and affect the layout of other components inside the dashboard 100.

[0049] To further improve the stability of the vehicle table assembly when the first tabletop 1 is in the stowed position and the second tabletop 2 is in the concealed position, or when the first tabletop 1 is in the unfolded position and the second tabletop 2 is in the concealed position, such as... Figure 4 As shown, one of the second table panel 2 and the mounting base 3 may be provided with a second locking structure 11, and the other may be provided with a second mating structure 12. The second locking structure 11 can be mated and connected with the second mating structure 12 to lock the second table panel 2 in a hidden position. In this way, when the second table panel 2 is in the hidden position, the second locking structure 11 and the second mating structure 12 can be locked together to prevent the second table panel 2 from shaking due to vehicle movement during driving, thereby affecting the user's use of the first table panel 1 or affecting the fit between the first table panel 1 and the dashboard 100.

[0050] The second locking structure 11 and the second mating structure 12 can be locked together in various ways. For example, the mounting base 3 may be provided with a second locking structure 11, which may include a second locking member 1101. The second table 2 may be provided with a second mating structure 12, which may include a second slot 1201. When it is necessary to lock the second table 2 in a hidden position, the second locking member 1101 may be inserted into the second slot 1201 to lock the second table 2 and the mounting base 3. When it is necessary to move the second table 2 to an exhibition position, the second locking member 1101 may be disengaged from the second slot 1201 to unlock the second table 2 and the mounting base 3.

[0051] In addition, the second locking member 1101 can be connected to a driving component such as a linear motor or an electric push rod. The linear motor or electric push rod connected to the second locking member 1101 can be mounted on the mounting base 3, thereby driving the second locking member 1101 to insert into or disengage from the second slot 1201.

[0052] In addition, multiple second locking elements 1101 and second slots 1201 can be provided. The second locking elements 1101 can be provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the second slots 1201. In this way, the stability of the second table 2 after being locked with the mounting base 3 can be guaranteed.

[0053] For example, the second slot 1201 can be provided on both sides of the second tabletop 2 in the left-right direction. The main body of the second locking member 1101 and the linear motor or electric push rod connected to the second locking member 1101 can be provided on the top of the first mounting plate 301. The second locking member 1101 can have a bent portion 500. The bent portion 500 can make the end of the second locking member 1101 and the left or right side of the second receiving chamber 300 opposite each other, and can be correspondingly provided with the second slot 1201 provided on the second tabletop 2 when the second tabletop 2 is in the hidden position.

[0054] When the end of the second locking member 1101 is correspondingly set with the second slot 1201, a linear motor or electric push rod can drive the second locking member 1101 to move, thereby locking the second table 2 with the mounting base 3 or unlocking the second table 2 with the mounting base 3.

[0055] Or, such as Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle-mounted table assembly may include a fourth elastic member 20. One end of the fourth elastic member 20 may be connected to the top of the first mounting plate 301, and the other end may be connected to the second locking member 1101. The fourth elastic member 20 may provide the second locking member 1101 with elastic force to insert into the second slot 1201. When the end of the second locking member 1101 is correspondingly set with the second slot 1201, the second locking member 1101 may be inserted into the second slot 1201 under the elastic force of the fourth elastic member 20, thereby locking the second table 2 and the mounting base 3. When it is necessary to move the second table 2 from the hidden position to the display position, a linear motor or electric push rod may drive the second locking member 1101 to disengage from the second slot 1201, thereby unlocking the second table 2 and the mounting base 3.

[0056] In embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 4As shown, at least two second locking members 1101 can be provided, and a rotatable second synchronizer 21 can also be provided on the top of the first mounting plate 301. The second synchronizer 21 can connect two adjacent second locking members 1101 so that the two second locking members 1101 can move synchronously. One of the two second locking members 1101 connected to the same second synchronizer 21 can be set to correspond to the second slot 1201 on the left side of the second table plate 2, and the other can be set to correspond to the second slot 1201 on the right side of the second table plate 2. In this way, the driving components such as linear motors or electric push rods and / or the fourth elastic element 20 only need to be set on one second locking member 1101 to realize the locking and unlocking between multiple second locking members 1101 and multiple second slots 1201. This simplifies the structure on the mounting plate 3 and improves the locking and unlocking efficiency between the second table plate 2 and the mounting base 3 while ensuring the stability of the locking between the second table plate 2 and the mounting base 3.

[0057] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second synchronizer 21 can be configured as a gear structure, and the second locking member 1101 can be provided with a rack structure to mesh with the second synchronizer 21; or, one of the second synchronizer 21 and the second locking member 1101 is provided with a groove, and the other is provided with a protrusion structure that can cooperate with the groove. The protrusion structure can be inserted into the groove to realize the connection between the second synchronizer 21 and the second locking member 1101.

[0058] In some possible implementations, a guide ramp can be provided on the side wall of the second locking member 1101 and / or the second table 2, thereby facilitating the locking engagement between the second table 2 and the mounting base 3. Taking the example of the guide ramp being provided on the side wall of the second table 2 and the second locking member 1101 being provided with a fourth elastic member 20, during the process of the second table 2 moving from the display position to the hidden position, the guide ramp can abut against the end of the second locking member 1101 and push the end of the second locking member 1101 to move away from the second table 2. At this time, the fourth elastic member 20 will undergo elastic deformation, such as stretching, and apply elastic force to the second locking member 1101 until the second table 2 moves to the hidden position. Then, the end of the second locking member 1101 will be positioned opposite the second slot 1201, and the second locking member 1101 will be inserted into the second slot 1201 under the elastic force of the fourth elastic member 20, thereby achieving the locking of the second table 2 and the mounting base 3.

[0059] In embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 6As shown, a gear damper 13 can be provided on the mounting base 3, and a toothed structure extending along its own moving direction can be provided on the second table 2. The toothed structure and the gear damper 13 are meshed and connected. In this way, when the second table 2 moves between the hidden position and the unfolded position, the gear damper 13 can ensure the stability of the second table 2 during movement. This can avoid the impact of the shaking generated during vehicle operation on the second table 2 and improve the user experience.

[0060] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the removal of the second tabletop 2 from the second receiving chamber 300, a third elastic element 14 may also be provided on the mounting base 3. The third elastic element 14 is used to provide elastic force for at least a portion of the second tabletop 2 to move outside the instrument panel 100. The third elastic member 14 can be disposed on the first mounting plate 301, and it can be disposed opposite to the side wall of the second table panel 2 in the direction of movement of the second table panel 2. In this way, when the second table panel 2 is in the hidden position and locked with the mounting base 3, the second table panel 2 will squeeze the third elastic member 14, so that the third elastic member 14 is compressed and generates an elastic force to push the second table panel 2 out of the dashboard 100. When the second table panel 2 and the mounting base 3 are unlocked, the elastic force applied to the second table panel 2 by the third elastic member 14 will push at least a part of the second table panel 2 out of the dashboard 100. In this way, the second locking member 1101 and the second slot 1201 used to lock the second table panel 2 and the mounting base 3 can be changed from being disposed opposite to being disposed misaligned, thereby preventing the second locking member 1101 from being reinserted into the second slot 1201 under the elastic force of the fourth elastic member 20. Thus, the user can adjust the length of the second table panel 2 extending out of the dashboard 100 by, for example, manually pushing and pulling, and use the second table panel 2.

[0061] It should be noted that the first elastic element 8, the third elastic element 14, and the fourth elastic element 20 of this disclosure can be adaptively configured as compression springs or tension springs according to the movement mode of each locking element and table and their own installation position.

[0062] In addition, in order to enable the second table 2 to move more smoothly between the hidden position and the display position, a slide rail 600 can also be provided in the second receiving chamber 300. The slide rail 600 can be extended in the moving direction of the second table 2, and a slider 700 that can cooperate with the slide rail 600 can be provided on the second table 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the second table 2 when moving.

[0063] The slide rail 600 can also be equipped with a limit block, which can limit the sliding area of ​​the slider 700 on the slide rail 600, thereby preventing the second table 2 from sliding off the slide rail 600.

[0064] In embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, a weight sensor 16 can be installed in the first receiving chamber 200. The weight sensor 16 can detect whether there are still items on the vehicle table assembly, and the weight sensor 16 can be linked to the door opening and closing for early warning. For example, when the vehicle detects that the user is opening or closing the door and the weight sensor 16 detects that there are items on the first table 1, the vehicle will issue an early warning to remind the user to retract the first table 1. The first table 1 is configured to be flipped by a drive motor, and when the vehicle detects that the user is opening or closing the door but the weight sensor 16 does not detect that there are items on the first table 1, the drive motor will also simultaneously flip the first table 1 to the storage position. This avoids situations where the user bumps into the table or knocks over items on the table when getting in and out of the vehicle.

[0065] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle-mounted table assembly also includes a sensor switch 15, which is mounted on the mounting base 3. The sensor switch 15 includes a first sensor switch 1501, with the first tabletop 1 in contact with the first sensor switch 1501 when in the retracted position; and / or, the sensor switch 15 includes a second sensor switch 1502, with the second tabletop 2 in contact with the second sensor switch 1502 when in the hidden position. The first sensor switch 1501 can detect whether the first tabletop 1 is in the retracted position, and the second sensor switch 1502 can detect whether the second tabletop 2 is in the hidden position. The sensor switch 15 is equipped with a spring; when the first tabletop 1 and the second tabletop 2 move to their corresponding positions, the spring of the sensor switch 15 will be compressed, thereby sensing whether the first tabletop 1 is in the retracted position and whether the second tabletop 2 is in the hidden position.

[0066] Depending on the movement of the first tabletop 1 and the second tabletop 2, the first induction switch 1501 and the second induction switch 1502 can be set at different positions on the mounting base 3.

[0067] For example, when the first receiving chamber 200 has two first locking members 401, the first inductive switch 1501 can be disposed on the side of the first receiving chamber 200 in the left-right direction. The two first locking members 401 can be synchronously connected through the first synchronizer 7. The two first locking members 401 can extend from the left and right sides of the first receiving chamber 200 respectively, thereby making the two first locking members 401 correspond to the two first slots 501 on the mounting base 3 respectively. One of the first locking members 401 is inserted into the first slot 501. The first locking member 401 can be set to correspond with the first driving member 6 after being inserted into the first slot 501. The other first locking member 401 can be set to correspond with the first inductive switch 1501 and compress the spring inside the first inductive switch 1501. In this way, when the first table 1 needs to be flipped to the unfolded position, the first driving member 6 pushes its corresponding first locking member 401 to disengage from the first slot 501. Under the action of the first synchronizer 7, the other first locking member 401 can also disengage from the first slot 501, thereby realizing the unlocking between the first table 1 and the mounting base 3.

[0068] The second sensor switch 1502 is disposed in the second receiving chamber 300 and can be disposed opposite to the second table 2 in the direction of movement. In this way, when the second table 2 is in the hidden position, the second table 2 can squeeze the second sensor switch 1502.

[0069] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, a wireless charging module 17 can also be integrated in the first accommodating chamber 200. The wireless charging module 17 can charge the user's mobile phone or tablet and other electronic devices when the user uses the first table 1, thereby meeting the user's battery life needs for electronic devices and improving the user's experience.

[0070] In addition, other components can be integrated into the first receiving chamber 200, thereby making full use of the space of the first receiving chamber 200 and ensuring the functionality of the first table 1.

[0071] Furthermore, the first locking member 401 and / or the second locking member 1101 of this disclosure can be constructed as a rod-shaped structure. The specific extension direction of the rod-shaped structure can be adaptively adjusted according to its installation position, as long as it can be inserted into the corresponding slot.

[0072] In addition, in order to reduce the space occupied by the vehicle table assembly in the dashboard 100, the first drive member 6 and the drive components such as linear motors for controlling the movement of the second locking member 1101 can be set on the top surface of the first mounting plate 301, or on the bottom surface of the second mounting plate 302.

[0073] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle including the aforementioned vehicle-mounted table assembly. It should be noted that this vehicle possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned vehicle-mounted table assembly, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0074] In summary, this disclosure exemplarily illustrates the working principle of an in-vehicle table assembly.

[0075] When the vehicle is in motion, if the user does not need to use the in-vehicle table assembly, the first table 1 can be in a retracted position, and the second table 2 can be in a hidden position. The outer surface 102 of the first table 1 can be adapted to the outer surface of the dashboard 100. If the user needs to place or use small items such as mobile phones or water cups, they can control the first driving component 6 through the mobile phone or the vehicle's display screen 400 to push the first locking component 401 to disengage the first locking component 401 from the first slot 501. This unlocks the mounting base 3 and the first table 1, and the first table 1 will then flip from the retracted position to the unfolded position. At this time, the bearing surface 101 of the first table 1 is horizontal and facing upwards, which can be used by the user to place or use small items. If the user needs to place or use larger items such as laptops or tablets, they can unlock the second table 2 and the mounting base 3 through the mobile phone or the vehicle's display screen 400. In this way, the user can adjust the length of the second table 2 extending from the dashboard 100 according to their needs. Based on this, the in-vehicle table assembly installed on the dashboard 100 does not require any other connecting structures to be installed on the outside of the dashboard 100, and the outer surface 102 of the first table 1 can be part of the outer surface of the dashboard 100. Thus, while simplifying the use steps of the first table 1, the space occupied by the in-vehicle table assembly when not in use is reduced, the aesthetics of the vehicle interior are maintained, and the user experience is improved.
