Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a vehicle sun visor, a sun visor assembly, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of vehicle intelligence, vehicles often need to display and interact with people outside the vehicle in scenarios such as parking, low-speed driving, or waiting for pick-up. Current technologies mainly offer the following solutions for achieving visual display and interaction on the vehicle's exterior: One is an external, independent display module, where a display screen or indicator component is installed separately on the outer or inner surface of the vehicle body. This type of solution typically requires additional mounting locations, support structures, wiring harnesses, and brackets, as well as impact resistance and safety design, resulting in high system costs and complex vehicle integration. Furthermore, exposed components are susceptible to bumps or vandalism, leading to high maintenance costs and affecting the vehicle's appearance. Another solution is based on window / windshield imaging: projecting or actively displaying images using the windshield or side windows. This type of solution requires strict requirements in terms of optical transmittance, reflectivity, and haze control, and demands high compatibility with substrates, films, and optomechanical modules. In addition, the high cost of use, large hardware investment, and significant software development requirements limit mass production feasibility and after-sales maintenance costs.

[0003] In summary, existing solutions for displaying information and providing basic interaction on the exterior of vehicles generally suffer from problems such as numerous new components, significant structural modifications, high costs, complex reliability and regulatory verification, and high modification difficulty. Especially in existing vehicle models or low-to-medium cost platforms, there remains a lack of solutions that balance engineering feasibility and economy, aiming to provide sufficient visibility and interactivity for people outside the vehicle while minimizing changes to the vehicle structure, reusing existing components, and ensuring low cost, ease of integration, and ease of maintenance. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a technical solution that can reuse existing vehicle components, enable external information display / interaction even when people are outside the vehicle, and minimize vehicle modifications, maintain controllable costs, and offer good reliability and maintainability, thereby addressing the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies in external display and interaction.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0049] The following is combined Figures 1 to 9 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle sun visor is provided, comprising a supporting frame 1, a pivoting mechanism 2, a display component 3, and a light-transmitting outer cover 4; the supporting frame 1 constitutes a support structure for the sun visor; the pivoting mechanism 2 is connected to the supporting frame 1 and is used to rotate the vehicle sun visor between a retracted position and an extended position; the display component 3 is fixed to a first side of the supporting frame 1; the light-transmitting outer cover 4 covers the outside of the supporting frame 1 and the display component 3, and the light-transmitting outer cover 4 is used to transmit the light emitted by the display component 3 to the outside of the vehicle sun visor.

[0051] The display component 3 is fixed to the first side of the supporting frame 1. The first side is the side of the vehicle sun visor facing the windshield when it is unfolded, or the side of the vehicle sun visor facing the seat inside the vehicle when it is retracted, or the side of the vehicle sun visor opposite to the mounting lens. The supporting frame 1 can fix the display component 3. The light-transmitting outer cover 4 covers the supporting frame 1, which can not only ensure the overall appearance and integrity of the vehicle sun visor, but also shield and protect the display component 3, preventing the display component 3 from being exposed and damaged. The light-transmitting area on the light-transmitting outer cover 4 can make the light emitted by the display component 3 transmit through to form a visible light-emitting effect, so that information can be exchanged with passengers and drivers inside the vehicle when the vehicle sun visor is in the retracted position, and information can be exchanged with pedestrians outside the vehicle when the vehicle sun visor is in the unfolded position.

[0052] In summary, the display component 3 is arranged on the first side of the supporting frame 1 and covered by the light-transmitting outer cover 4. When the sun visor is in the unfolded position and facing the windshield, the light emitted by the display component 3 can be transmitted to the outside of the sun visor. This achieves the goal of providing visual interactive information to people outside the vehicle without changing the vehicle body parts and windshield structure. At the same time, when the sun visor is in the retracted position, the components are not exposed and the exterior shape and body structure of the vehicle are not changed. The modification to the vehicle installation is small, and the increase in wiring harness and bracket is limited, which is conducive to mass production. Furthermore, information interaction with passengers and drivers inside the vehicle is also possible when the sun visor is in the retracted position.

[0053] In one embodiment, the supporting frame 1 forms a receiving space 12 extending along the long side of the vehicle sun visor, and the pivoting mechanism 2 is at least partially disposed within the receiving space 12. The receiving space 12 and the pivoting mechanism 2 together constitute the pivot part of the vehicle sun visor.

[0054] The accommodating space 12 extends along the long side, which can provide more accommodating space 12 to facilitate the installation of the pivot mechanism 2 and better hide and protect at least part of the pivot mechanism 2, without significantly altering the existing vehicle sun visor.

[0055] In one embodiment, the pivoting part is a driven pivoting part, including a power output component, such as a motor component, so that when driven inside the vehicle sun visor, the vehicle sun visor can rotate between the unfolded position and the retracted position, and at least part of the power output component can be well hidden in the accommodating space 12, ensuring the integrity and aesthetic appearance of the vehicle sun visor.

[0056] In another embodiment, the pivot is a driven pivot, for example, a driven mechanism is provided in the accommodating space for cooperating with the vehicle interior drive mechanism, so that the vehicle sun visor can rotate between the unfolded position and the retracted position when actuated externally. At least some of the driven transmission components can also be well hidden in the accommodating space 12 to ensure the integrity and aesthetic appearance of the vehicle sun visor.

[0057] In one embodiment, either the pivot or the vehicle interior trim is provided with a shaft structure, and the other is provided with a support structure, wherein the shaft structure is rotatably engaged with the supported structure.

[0058] By designing the pivot point and the vehicle interior trim as a combination of shaft and support structures, pivot accuracy and durability can be improved.

[0059] In one specific embodiment, a shaft structure is provided on the pivot part, and a support structure is provided on the vehicle interior trim.

[0060] In another specific embodiment, the vehicle interior trim is provided with a shaft structure, and the pivot is provided with a support structure.

[0061] In one embodiment, a metal insert and / or bearing bushing are further provided on the pivot contact surface between the pivot portion and the vehicle interior trim.

[0062] Metal inserts and / or bearing bushings are placed on the contact surface to reduce wear and noise between the pivot and the vehicle interior parts, and to prevent the increase of clearance between the shaft structure and the support structure.

[0063] In one embodiment, a display mounting portion 11 is formed on the first side of the supporting frame 1, and the display mounting portion 11 is a mounting base or mounting frame.

[0064] The display mounting part 11 is a mounting base or mounting frame, which can limit and fix the display component 3.

[0065] In a further embodiment, a makeup mirror mounting portion is formed on the second side of the support frame 1. The makeup mirror mounting portion is used to mount a makeup mirror, and the second side is arranged opposite to the first side. By providing a display mounting portion 11 on the first side of the support frame 1, a standardized installation interface is provided, enabling precise alignment and stable assembly of the display component 3.

[0066] In one embodiment, the supporting frame 1 has an annular limiting frame 13 formed on the outer periphery of the area corresponding to the display mounting part 11.

[0067] The annular limiting frame 13 can limit the display component 3 to prevent the display component 3 from shaking or misaligning.

[0068] In one embodiment, the support frame 1 is provided with a heat dissipation structure in the adjacent area of ​​the display mounting part 11. The heat dissipation structure includes at least one of a heat conduction channel, a heat sink, a heat conduction adhesive, and a heat conduction pad. The heat dissipation structure is thermally connected to the support frame 1. The adjacent area of ​​the display mounting part 11 can be the side of the display mounting part 11 of the support frame 1 facing the display component 3, the side of the display mounting part 11 of the support frame 1 facing away from the display component, or one side of the annular area surrounding the display mounting part 11 of the support frame 1.

[0069] By setting up a heat dissipation structure, the heat generated by the display component 3 can be transferred to the supporting frame 1 through the heat dissipation structure, and the display surface of the display component 3 can also be guaranteed to have a good display effect.

[0070] In one embodiment, the supporting frame 1 is provided with a wiring channel communicating with the display mounting part 11, and the wiring channel is used to accommodate the cable connected to the display component 3.

[0071] The cable routing channel can accommodate cables connected to the display component 3, limit and fix the cables, and lead the cables from the display component 3 to the outside of the support frame 1.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, the wiring channel connects the edge of the display mounting part 11 and the supporting frame 1.

[0073] In one embodiment, the supporting frame 1 is an injection-molded integral structure, or the supporting frame 1 is an injection-molded integral structure with inserts.

[0074] The one-piece molded structure is simple in structure and easy to process and form. Among them, the load-bearing skeleton 1 is a one-piece molded structure formed by injection molding and inserts, and the inserts can also increase the strength of the load-bearing skeleton 1.

[0075] Alternatively, the supporting frame 1 may be a multi-piece assembly structure, specifically including a first frame 14 and a second frame 15. The first frame 14 and the second frame 15 may be connected by ultrasonic welding, or the first frame 14 and the second frame 15 may be connected by snap-fit, or the first frame 14 and the second frame 15 may be connected by fasteners, or the first frame 14 and the second frame 15 may be connected by welding.

[0076] The supporting frame 1 is a multi-piece assembly structure, which makes it easier to generate and process the first frame 14 and the second frame 15 separately, thus reducing production costs.

[0077] In one embodiment, the supporting frame 1 is a U-shaped structure formed by bending an integral plate material, and the bent part of the U-shaped structure and the two side walls enclose the receiving space 12.

[0078] The load-bearing frame 1 is a U-shaped structure formed by bending an integral plate material, which is easy to process and shape, and also easy to form a receiving space 12 through the bending part. Furthermore, the formation of the receiving space 12 can also prevent damage such as breakage during the bending process. The bending of the integral plate material can also further improve the stress strength of the load-bearing frame 1 itself.

[0079] In one embodiment, the U-shaped structure comprises a first surface and a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being arranged parallel to each other; in a direction perpendicular to the first surface, the distance between the first surface and the second surface is less than the maximum distance between the two sides of the bend.

[0080] In the direction perpendicular to the first surface, the distance between the first surface and the second surface is less than the maximum distance between the two sides of the bent portion. This ensures that the vehicle sun visor at the first and second surfaces is not too thick, thus avoiding affecting the overall appearance of the vehicle sun visor. It also increases the internal space of the accommodating space 12, so as to better store and hide at least part of the pivoting mechanism 2.

[0081] In one embodiment, the pivoting mechanism 2 includes a position detection sensor for acquiring angle or position information of the vehicle sun visor.

[0082] Position detection sensors acquire angle or position information of the vehicle sun visor to better control the rotation and position of the vehicle sun visor, ensuring the accuracy of control between the retracted and unfolded positions of the vehicle sun visor, and also ensuring that the vehicle sun visor opens to the preset position when interacting with the unfolded position.

[0083] In one embodiment, the pivoting mechanism 2 is provided with a manual overriding mechanism to allow manual adjustment of the position of the vehicle sun visor in the event of power failure.

[0084] The manual overriding mechanism allows manual adjustment of the vehicle sun visor position in the event of power failure, ensuring normal use of the vehicle sun visor during power outages.

[0085] In a specific embodiment, the manual overriding mechanism may be a separable clutch and / or a limited-slip mechanism and / or a disengageable gear meshing structure.

[0086] In one embodiment, a follower wiring structure is provided between the pivoting mechanism 2 and the supporting frame 1, and the follower wiring structure is arranged along the axial direction of the pivoting mechanism 2.

[0087] The follow-up routing structure not only allows for neat and smooth routing but also prevents wear caused by friction during the pivoting process.

[0088] In one embodiment, the vehicle sun visor and the interior trim are rotatably connected via a hinge, the pivot is a drive component, the drive component is a motor, and the torque of the motor is directly or indirectly transmitted to the hinge.

[0089] The torque of the motor is transmitted directly or indirectly to the hinge seat, which in turn controls the rotation of the vehicle sun visor.

[0090] In one embodiment, the pivot is a driven transmission member, which is a drive shaft disposed within the accommodating space 12 and fixedly connected to the supporting frame 1. The driven transmission member is used to transmit the torque generated by external actuation to the vehicle sun visor.

[0091] The drive shaft can transmit the driving force of external braking to the vehicle sun visor, so as to control the rotation of the vehicle sun visor between the unfolded position and the retracted position. It can also better hide at least some of the driven transmission components in the accommodating space 12, ensuring the integrity and aesthetic appearance of the vehicle sun visor.

[0092] In one embodiment, a display mounting portion 11 is formed on the first side of the supporting frame 1, and the display component 3 is positioned and engaged with the display mounting portion 11 by positioning posts and / or positioning grooves, and is fixed to the display mounting portion 11 by snaps and / or fasteners.

[0093] Positioning pins and / or positioning slots enable positioning between the display mounting part 11 and the display component 3, facilitating the installation of the display component 3. Clips and / or fasteners secure the display component 3 to the display mounting part 11, preventing the display component 3 from shaking or misaligning, thereby achieving precise installation and long-term stable fixation of the display component 3, and improving overall reliability and vibration resistance.

[0094] In one embodiment, the light-emitting side of the display component 3 is fitted to the light-transmitting outer cover 4, so that the light emitted by the display component 3 is transmitted to the outside of the sunshade through the light-transmitting outer cover 4.

[0095] The light-emitting side of the display component 3 is fitted to the light-transmitting outer cover 4, so that the light emitted by the display component 3 is transmitted to the outside of the sunshade through the light-transmitting outer cover 4, reducing light leakage, improving display brightness, uniformity and visual consistency, and improving the light emission effect, thus ensuring the display effect of the display component 3.

[0096] In one embodiment, an optical control structure is provided between the light-emitting side of the display component 3 and the light-transmitting outer cover 4. The optical control structure is one or more optical functional structures, and is at least one film or sheet structure selected from scattering, collimation, polarization, or anti-glare, used to improve display uniformity. For example, a diffusion film or polarizer is provided between the light-emitting side of the display component and the outer cover, with optical control structures having functions such as scattering, collimation, polarization, or anti-glare, to improve the uniformity of light distribution, improve visibility and comfort, and provide better display effects for pedestrians outside the vehicle and drivers and passengers inside the vehicle.

[0097] In one embodiment, the backlight side of the display component 3 is provided with a heat dissipation structure, which includes a thermally conductive sheet, thermally conductive adhesive, or thermally conductive pad, and the heat dissipation structure is thermally connected to the supporting frame 1.

[0098] By setting up a heat dissipation structure, the heat generated by the display component 3 can be dissipated from the backlight side through the heat dissipation structure and dissipated to the outside of the vehicle sun visor through the supporting frame 1, maintaining a stable operating temperature of the display component 3 and ensuring that the light-emitting side of the display component 3 has a good display effect.

[0099] In one embodiment, a sealed light-limiting structure is provided between the periphery of the display component 3 and the light-transmitting outer cover 4.

[0100] The sealed light-limiting structure is set around the periphery of the display component 3, which can both seal the area where the display component 3 is located and limit the light from the display component 3, ensuring that the display component 3 can better diffuse through the light-emitting side.

[0101] Display component 3 can be at least one of OLED, Micro-LED, Mini-LED backlit LCD, or electronic paper display. The light-transmitting outer cover 4 is a light-transmitting sheet made of thermoplastic composite material, which can improve the light transmittance of the light-transmitting outer cover 4. Without increasing the power of RGBLED, it ensures that the RGBLED light source can pass through efficiently to meet the display brightness requirements, while reducing energy consumption and glare risk. Optimizing the microstructure of the light-transmitting outer cover 4 achieves uniform pore distribution, avoiding "bright spots" and "dark areas" caused by uneven light scattering, and ensuring overall image consistency. Improving the optical stability of the light-transmitting outer cover 4 reduces wavelength obstruction and absorption of the LED light source, ensuring balanced transmission of the three primary colors of RGB light, and solving the distortion problems of image color shift and edge blurring. Through in-depth research and optimization design of the compatibility between the material of the light-transmitting outer cover 4 and the LED light source, the obstruction of the LED light source by the light-transmitting outer cover 4 is minimized, ensuring that the video image generated by the RGB LED beads can pass through the light-transmitting outer cover 4 completely and accurately. Whether it is the detail of the image, the accuracy of the color, or the saturation, it can be effectively guaranteed, so that the surface image can be displayed clearly and without distortion. At the same time, it also takes into account the shielding function of the light-transmitting outer cover 4, effectively hiding the supporting frame 1 and the electronic components behind it (such as circuit boards, connectors, etc.), and avoiding the exposure of the internal structure and affecting the aesthetic appearance of the product.

[0102] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting outer covering 4 is a light-transmitting sheet made of thermoplastic composite material.

[0103] Thermoplastic composite materials possess specific optical absorption and scattering properties, along with good toughness and resilience. Their molecular structure interacts with specific wavelengths within the visible light band.
