[0009] Against this background, the task was to illuminate the interior of a vehicle appropriately.
[0010] This problem is solved by a display system, an interior fitting, and a method with the features of the independent claims. Embodiments of the display system, the interior fitting, and the method are described in the dependent claims and the description.
[0011] The display system according to the invention is designed for a vehicle component, e.g., for the interior of a motor vehicle, wherein the component comprises a wall section as part of a body. The display system includes a flexible, bendable, and / or deformable display field, a motor, and at least one air opening. This display field is received in a guide in which it can be displaced or moved by means of a motor, wherein the guide has a lower guide section that is arranged parallel to a typically horizontal reference plane of the vehicle, and wherein the guide has an upper guide section.The motor is designed to position the display field relative to and / or with respect to the two guide sections, to divide the display field into at least one sub-field (i.e., either one sub-field or two sub-fields), and to arrange the at least one sub-field within the at least one guide section (i.e., a lower sub-field within the lower guide section and / or an upper sub-field within the upper guide section). The at least one air opening is located below the lower guide section and is designed to blow and / or expel air into the interior.Depending on the specific division of the display field between the two guide sections, the lower sub-field in the lower guide section is designed to emit, e.g., project, a lower display content downwards from the lower guide section onto the air blown and / or flowing from the at least one air opening, and furthermore onto the at least one air opening and / or onto the body and / or wall section of the component. The body is typically designed to reflect the lower display content into the interior. The upper sub-field, located in the upper guide section, is designed to directly display and / or represent an upper display content.
[0012] The guide sections are arranged in a wing and / or housing, e.g., a housing of the wing, of the display system, wherein the wing and / or the housing is connected to the component and / or the body via a support of the display system. The at least one air opening is arranged in the support and / or in the component or its body. The support may contain one or more air openings. Alternatively or additionally, the component or body may contain one or more air openings. The at least one air opening is typically connected to a fan and / or an air conditioning system via a duct.
[0013] The upper guide section is positioned at an angle of up to 90°, e.g., at an acute angle between 30° and 60°, particularly at an angle of approximately 45°, or at an angle of up to 120°, e.g., at an angle of 90° or perpendicular to the reference plane. The angle of the upper guide section is adjustable depending on the position and / or perspective of a vehicle occupant and the position of the upper guide section within the interior.
[0014] In addition to the two guide sections, the display panel, the motor (e.g., an electric motor), and a mechanism for guiding a respective sub-panel are arranged and / or housed within the wing and / or housing (e.g., a housing of the wing). The wing is positioned above the wall section and connected to the component via the support, which carries the wing and housing. The wing or housing may have a typically rectangular opening on its lower side facing the wall section, through which the lower display content from the lower sub-panel is emitted downwards.
[0015] Furthermore, a shaft or roller rotatable about an axis is arranged as a component of the display system at a transition between the two guide sections. The display field is wound, bent, wound, and / or tensioned around this shaft or roller, with the display field resting against an outer wall of the shaft. A line along which the display field rests against and / or touches the shaft forms a transition and / or a boundary between the two sub-fields. Both sub-fields form the continuous display field, which is moved and / or shifted forwards and / or backwards relative to the shaft by and / or via the motor. The display field or the two sub-fields can be arranged in different positions relative to the shaft. In one configuration, the two sub-fields can each have the same size.It is also possible for one of the two sub-fields to be set larger than the other in a further position, i.e., the lower sub-field larger than the upper sub-field or the upper sub-field larger than the lower sub-field. The position of the movable display field relative to the shaft can be dynamically changed by the motor, and any set position can be temporarily locked.
[0016] It is possible that at least one and / or each guide section has a mechanism designed to guide a respective sub-section and thus the display field, wherein at least one guide section has a telescopic mechanism or a worm gear. The lower guide section can have the worm gear or the telescopic mechanism. The upper guide section can have the telescopic mechanism or the worm gear.
[0017] At least one guide section can have guide modules, e.g., two guide modules, designed to guide and / or hold the moving display laterally, with the guide modules arranged parallel to a movement direction of the display. Each lateral edge of the display is slidably received and / or arranged in a laterally positioned guide module. The guide modules can be designed as rails or grooves. The guide modules of each guide section are arranged in the wing or its housing.
[0018] The interior fittings according to the invention are designed for a vehicle and comprise at least one embodiment of the display system described above, typically one or more embodiments of the display system, in at least one component, i.e., in only one component or in several components, wherein, for example, two display systems can be arranged directly adjacent to each other in one component. Each component can be designed and / or designated as a control panel, instrument cluster, and / or dashboard. Several adjacent display fields can be moved synchronously or independently of each other by at least one motor of the interior fittings.
[0019] The interior fittings feature at least one support arranged on and / or attached to the component, i.e., one support for one display field or multiple supports for multiple, possibly all, display fields; at least one wing, i.e., one wing for each display field or multiple wings for multiple, possibly all, display fields; at least one shaft, i.e., one shaft for each display field or multiple shafts for multiple, possibly all, display fields; at least one motor, i.e., one motor for each display field or multiple motors for multiple, possibly all, display fields; and at least one mechanism, i.e., one mechanism for each display field or multiple mechanisms for multiple, possibly all, display fields of the interior fittings' display systems. Each display field can have its own position relative to the at least one shaft at any given time and can be divided accordingly into the lower and / or upper sub-field.Typically, several shafts are rotatable around the same common axis. The interior fittings include at least one air opening, which is located in the at least one support and / or in the component.
[0020] The method according to the invention is designed for operating a display system, for example, an embodiment of the display system presented here for a component, usually in the interior of a vehicle, wherein the component comprises a body. The display system has a flexible, bendable and / or deformable display field that is received in a guide, in which it is moved by a motor, for example.an electric motor as a drive, wherein the guide has a lower guide section arranged parallel to the normally horizontal reference plane, and wherein the guide has an upper guide section arranged at an angle greater than 0° relative to the normally horizontal reference plane, wherein the display field is moved by the motor, positioned relative to and / or with respect to the two guide sections, and divided into at least one sub-field, wherein the at least one sub-field is arranged in at least one guide section of the two guide sections. The display field is divided into an upper sub-field and / or a lower sub-field, wherein the upper sub-field is arranged in the upper guide section and / or the lower sub-field is arranged in the lower guide section. The at least one air opening is located below the lower guide section, e.g.The display system is arranged in the component and / or a carrier of the display system, which supports the guide with the guided display field, wherein air is blown and / or expelled into the interior space from at least one air opening. Depending on the respective division of the display field between the two guide sections, a lower display element is emitted from the lower sub-field in the lower guide section downwards onto the outflowing and / or blown-out air and also onto the body, whereby the lower display element is indirectly visible in the interior space. An upper display element from the upper sub-field in the upper guide section, which is arranged in the upper guide section, is directly visible and / or displayed in the interior space.
[0021] In this configuration, the lower sub-area emits at least monochromatic (i.e., single-color or multi-color) light and / or dynamically changing light as the display content. The brightness of the monochromatic light can be dynamically adjusted. Furthermore, the colors of the light can be dynamically changed and / or switched, whereby only light of one color is displayed at a time, and this color changes over time. At least one of the displayed colors can be adjusted to the temperature of the air flowing from the at least one air opening. If the temperature is higher than a specified upper limit, red light is emitted. If the temperature is lower than a specified lower limit, blue light is emitted. The display system can include at least one thermometer that measures the temperature of the outgoing air.The temperature inside the room can also be measured by at least one thermometer. If the temperature of the outgoing air is measured by at least one thermometer and the temperature of the air already inside the room is measured by at least one other thermometer, the measured temperatures can be compared and the color of the light adjusted to the difference between the two temperatures.
[0022] The flexible, movable display panel, also known as a display, is arranged as a component within a (usually) freestanding support and / or wing on a control panel, dashboard, or center console. The display panel is positioned and / or integrated within the wing, which is mounted and / or positioned on the support and / or within the component. A space between the display panel within the wing and the component can be used, for example, for an air duct with an air opening. This air duct terminates in at least one air opening in the component and / or support. The display panel can be cooled by air flowing from or being blown out of this air opening.
[0023] The ambient light, typically emitted from the lower display area and directed downwards, can emphasize and / or highlight a function of the air conditioning system, which includes the at least one air outlet. Blue light is emitted when cooling air is flowing, and red light is emitted when warming air is flowing. The at least one air outlet can also be designed and / or referred to as a diffuser.
[0024] The lower and / or upper sub-area of the flexible display field can display information and symbols, such as vehicle-related information and symbols, for example, information and symbols about the vehicle during a journey, and thus vehicle-related display content, but also entertaining display content, such as videos. Furthermore, each sub-area can simply display light that changes color over time and / or animations, creating an ambient, dynamically changing light that is reflected, for example, by the wall section and / or the component when emitted from the lower sub-area. Animated images can also be emitted from the lower sub-area as display content, which are reflected and / or emitted by the component and / or the wall section as an animated illuminated surface.The lower display content can also show information and / or warnings for the vehicle's driver, for example, a visual warning of an approaching road user. The lower display content can also show the function of the vehicle's turn signals and / or direction indicators.
[0025] The display panel is moved relative to the shaft, typically by shifting, with the upper section extending or retracting. When the upper section extends or retracts, the sizes of both sections and the content they can display change synchronously. Both sections can emit the same or different content at any given time. Furthermore, both sections can be activated simultaneously. It is also possible for only one section to be activated while the other is deactivated. The lower section is invisible from within the housing. Its lower display content is only indirectly visible as a reflection. The entire flexible display panel, and thus both sections, uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs), such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and / or micro-light-emitting diodes (µLEDs), as light sources.Each subfield can thus be used to generate moving light as display content, which is not possible with marker lights, for example.
[0026] It is possible that an embodiment of the presented display system and / or the presented interior fittings is / are designed to carry out an embodiment of the presented method, wherein the embodiment of the presented method is carried out with the embodiment of the presented display system and / or the presented interior fittings.
[0027] It is understood that the features mentioned above and those to be explained below can be used not only in the combinations specified, but also in other combinations or on their own, without leaving the scope of the present invention.
[0028] The invention is schematically illustrated with reference to embodiments in the drawing and is described schematically and in detail with reference to the drawing. Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a first embodiment of the display system according to the invention for carrying out a first embodiment of the method according to the invention as a component of a first embodiment of the interior fittings according to the invention for a vehicle. Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b, Fig. Figures 2c show schematic details of the first embodiment of the display system according to the invention when carrying out the first embodiment of the method according to the invention. Fig. Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the interior fittings according to the invention, which includes several first embodiments of the display system according to the invention.
[0029] The figures are described in a coherent and comprehensive manner. The same reference symbols are assigned to the same components.
[0030] The in Fig. Figure 1, schematically depicted, is a first embodiment of the display system according to the invention, designed here for a component 2 in the interior of a vehicle, which is here designed as a motor vehicle. A reference plane (not shown in detail here), largely horizontal, is provided for this component, spanned by a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis of the vehicle. The first embodiment of the display system according to the invention is also a component of the first embodiment of the interior fittings according to the invention, which are located in Fig. 4 is shown schematically. Component 2 extends in front of the front vehicle seats towards the base of the vehicle's windshield and is designed and / or designated here as a control panel.
[0031] Component 2 has a wall section on its surface, inclined at an acute angle of a few degrees, for example 5° to 10°, relative to the reference plane. Furthermore, a support 6 is arranged on the surface of component 2, extending upwards from the surface. This support 6 carries a wing 8 as a further component, and these aforementioned components are also components of the first embodiment of the display system.
[0032] The wing 8 is also designed as a housing for further components of the first embodiment of the display system, namely for a display field 9, for a motor 12, for a worm gear 14, for a telescopic mechanism 16, and for a shaft 20, which is rotatable about an axis 21. Details of these components of the display system are taken from the Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b. The flexible, bendable and / or deformable display panel 9 is mounted in a guide, which has a lower guide section arranged parallel to the largely horizontal reference plane and incorporating the worm gear 14 as its mechanism. An upper guide section of the guide is arranged at an acute angle of approximately 60° relative to the largely horizontal reference plane and incorporates the telescopic mechanism 16 as its mechanism. The shaft 20 is arranged at a transition between the two guide sections, around which the display panel 9 is wound, bent, rolled and / or tensioned.
[0033] Furthermore, the first embodiment of the display system features an air opening 30 as part of the vehicle's air conditioning system, which is positioned and / or arranged below the lower guide section in the wing 8, with an air duct opening into the vehicle's interior at the wall section and / or surface of the component 2. The air opening 30 is concealed by the wing 8. An air duct of the air conditioning system runs within the component 2 up to the air opening 30, which may also be designed as an air nozzle and / or may include an air nozzle.
[0034] When carrying out the first embodiment of the inventive method for and / or operating the first embodiment of the display system, the display field 9 is moved by the motor 12 relative to and / or with respect to the shaft 20 and further positioned relative to and / or with respect to the two guide sections. Depending on the position and / or orientation of the entire display field 9, it is divided into a lower sub-field 10a within the lower guide section and an upper sub-field 10b within the upper guide section.
[0035] Depending on the specific division of display field 9 between the two guide sections, a lower display content is emitted from the lower sub-field 10a in the lower guide section downwards onto the body and thus onto the wall section, where it is reflected by the body or the wall section. The lower display content is designed as a dynamically changing ambient light for the interior. Additionally, an upper display content is directly displayed and / or shown from the upper sub-field 10b in the upper guide section and emitted from the upper sub-field 10b into the interior.
[0036] The upper display content can show static and / or dynamically changing images, such as symbols and / or text, to inform the vehicle occupants. The two display contents are dynamically and / or automatically set by a control unit of the display system (not shown) for display field 9, depending on the respective division into the two subfields 10a and 10b, with display field 9 simultaneously generating both display contents.
[0037] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the presented method, air 84 of the air conditioning system is blown and / or directed into the interior space from the air opening 30 starting from the component 2 in an adjustable direction.
[0038] The Fig. 2a and Fig. Figure 2b shows details of the guide and mechanisms for the display field 9 of the first embodiment of the display system, which is shown here in Fig. 2a in a first position and in Fig. 2b is arranged in a second position relative to the shaft 20 which is rotatable about the axis 21, wherein the display field 9 is divided into the lower subfield 10a and the upper subfield 10b. In this case, Fig. 2a In a first division of the display field 9, the upper subfield 10b is larger than the lower subfield 10a. In Fig. In 2b, with a second division of the display field 9, the lower subfield 10a is larger than the upper subfield 10b. Each subfield 10a, 10b emits a respective display content originating from its front side.
[0039] The lower mechanism is designed and / or designated here as a worm gear 14, which has two screw shafts 58 arranged parallel to each other and oriented perpendicular to the shaft 20 or its axis 21. Two nuts 62 are attached to the rear side of the display panel 9 at an end facing the motor 12. The motor 12, designed here as an electric motor, is arranged between the two screw shafts 58 and is connected to each screw shaft 58 via a transmission gear 60. Each screw shaft 58 has an external thread and each nut 62 has an internal thread, with each screw shaft 58 being screwed into a nut 62. The upper mechanism is designed and / or designated here as a flat telescopic mechanism 16, which supports the upper sub-panel 10b. The telescopic mechanism 16 comprises an inner and / or central plate 64, two outer plates 66, and a half-frame 68.All three plates 64, 66 have the same height perpendicular to the shaft 20. The two outer plates 66 have the same width parallel to the shaft 20. The width of the inner plate 64 parallel to the shaft 20 is greater than the combined widths of both outer plates 66, with the inner plate 64 being approximately four times as wide as any one of the outer plates 66. The half-frame 68 comprises a longitudinal beam, which is oriented parallel to the shaft 20, and two transverse beams oriented perpendicular to it, with one transverse beam being arranged at each end of the longitudinal beam.
[0040] In this process, the display panel 9 is moved relative to the shaft 20, starting from the motor 12, and is guided along and / or through the guide sections by the mechanisms. A movement performed and / or caused by the motor 12 is transmitted via a transmission gear 60 to a screw shaft 58, whereby the screw shafts 58 are rotated synchronously about their respective axes. The two nuts 62 on the display panel 9 are moved synchronously relative to the motor 12, which is fixedly mounted in the wing 8 or its housing. The entire display panel 9 is also moved perpendicular to the shaft 20, which rotates about its axis 21 as the flexible display panel 9 slides around an outer wall of the shaft 20 against which it rests.The moving display field 9 also moves the telescopic mechanism 16, changing the positions of its aforementioned components relative to each other. The lower sub-field 10a is moved along the lower guide section parallel to the reference plane, and the upper sub-field 10b is moved along the upper guide section at an acute angle relative to the reference plane.
[0041] In both Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b indicates a displacement of the lower subfield 10a by a first double arrow 71a and a displacement of the upper subfield 10b by a second double arrow 71b. In the Fig. In the first division and / or position of the display field 9 shown in 2a, the two nuts 62 are at a smaller distance to the shaft 20 than in the Fig. The second division and / or position of the display field 9 shown in 2b. Here, the telescopic mechanism 16 is at least partially extended and has a set length and / or height along the upper guide section. In the Fig. In the second division and / or position of the display field 9 shown in 2b, the two nuts 62 are at a greater distance from the shaft 20 than in the Fig. 2a shows the first division and / or position of the display field 9. In this case, the telescopic mechanism 16 is fully retracted and has a minimum length and / or height along the upper guide section. If the telescopic mechanism 16 is fully extended, it has a maximum length and / or height. In the second division and / or position of the telescopic mechanism 16 according to Fig. In 2b, the inner plate 64 is arranged directly between the two outer plates 66. Furthermore, the semi-frame 68 encloses all three adjacent plates 64, 66, with the longitudinal beam touching the upper edges of the three plates 64, 66. Additionally, a transverse beam touches an outer edge of each outer plate 66.
[0042] Typically, the lower mechanism of the display system comprises, in addition to the motor 12, at least one worm gear 14 with at least one screw shaft 58 and at least one nut 62. The at least one screw shaft 58 is rotated by the motor 12. As described above, two screw shafts 58 and two nuts 62 are provided, with the two screw shafts 58 being rotated indirectly by the motor 12 via the transmission gear 60. Alternatively, the worm gear 14 can have only one screw shaft 58 and only one nut 62, with the screw shaft 58 being centrally located relative to the display 9, and the nut 62 being centrally attached to the display 9. In this case, the single screw shaft 58 is rotated directly by the motor 12.
[0043] In one embodiment, the upper sub-section 10b can have a maximum height and / or length when it is fully extended upwards and the telescopic mechanism 16 is at its maximum length. Similarly, a maximum length can be provided for the lower sub-section 10a. In another embodiment, the length of the entire display field 9 can be the sum of the maximum lengths of the two sub-sections 10a and 10b, plus the length of that part of the display field 9 that is wound and / or bent around the shaft 20. To move and / or position the display field 9 or its sub-sections 10a and 10b by the motor 12, each screw shaft 58 has a length that is at least equal to the maximum length of the upper sub-section 10b when fully extended.
[0044] Fig. 2c represents a further detail of the first embodiment of the display system according to the invention, showing Fig. 2c next to the display field 9, a retaining structure 72 and a holding device 74 for the display field 9 are shown. The retaining structure 72 has a honeycomb-shaped grid with hexagonal fields. The retaining structure 72 is firmly connected to the outer edges of the display field 9, e.g., laminated and / or glued to it. The retaining structure 72 moves with the moving display field 9. The retaining structure 72 is rigid and / or unchanged when pressure is applied perpendicularly to the touch-sensitive display field 9. However, the retaining structure 72 allows the display field 9 to rotate and / or bend around the shaft 20. When the display field 9 is lowered or retracted, it is supported by the retracted telescopic mechanism 16 ( Fig. 2b).
[0045] When the display panel 9 is raised, it is pushed upwards by the motor 12 and the shaft 20, thereby expanding the telescopic mechanism 16. When the display panel 9 is raised or extended, gaps are created between the plates 64, 66 and the half-frame 68 of the expanding telescopic mechanism 16 ( Fig. 2a), wherein the retaining structure 72 also stiffens and / or supports the display field 9 at the positions of the gaps when pressure is applied perpendicularly to the display field 9 at these points. Furthermore, the retaining structure 72 is bent around the shaft 20 with the display field 9 and remains rigid perpendicular to the surface of the display field 9.
[0046] The distance between the honeycomb cells or fields of the honeycomb-shaped support structure 72 is always the same where it is laminated and / or glued to the display field 9. The support structure 72 is bendable parallel to the surface of the display field 9. If the display field 9 is bent around the shaft 20 by a bending radius, the honeycomb-shaped support structure 72 bends along with the display field 9, whereby the distance between the cells decreases with increasing distance from the surface of the display field 9.
[0047] The holding device 74 has two mutually perpendicular holding parts, with a shorter upper holding part covering the upper edge of both the display field 9 and the holding structure 72. A longer holding part covers the holding structure 72 from behind.
[0048] The in Fig. 3 schematically illustrated three first embodiments of the invention already in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b and Fig. The display systems presented in Figure 2c are arranged side by side in component 2 of the vehicle, with component 2 being located in the vehicle's interior between the front seats, typically a driver's seat and a passenger seat (not shown), and the base of the vehicle's windshield. A steering wheel 80 of the vehicle is mounted on component 2. A first display system is located in front of the driver's seat (here on the left), a third display system is located to the right in front of the passenger seat, and a second display system is located in front of a center console, centrally positioned between the other two display systems. All three display systems are distributed across the entire width of component 2. The three first embodiments of the display system according to the invention also constitute the embodiment of the interior fittings according to the invention.
[0049] Component 2 here features the wall section common to all display systems as its body. The interior fittings here feature a support 6 and a common wing 8 common to all three display systems, each extending across the entire width of component 2 in a transverse direction parallel to the transverse axis of the vehicle, with the wing 8 being at a distance z greater than 0 from the wall section.
[0050] Within the housing wing 8, three guides for three display fields 9 are arranged side by side, one guide and one display field 9 for each display system. The three display fields 9 are positioned in different ways relative to a respective shaft 20 for each display field 9. Each display field 9 can be moved and / or traversed within the common wing 8 by its own motor 12 and its own mechanism, and each display field 9 can be moved and / or traversed individually and independently of the other two display fields 9. Only the upper sub-field 10b of each display field 9, or the display content it projects, is visible here.Furthermore, the lower display content of each lower subfield 10a is emitted onto the wall section below, illuminating the wall section with the lower display content. This lower display content is then reflected from the wall section as ambient light into the interior, contributing to a light and airy appearance of the interior. (Based on...) Fig. In the overall configuration of the interior fittings shown in Figure 3, the upper sub-sections 10b on the left and in the middle exhibit the same low height and / or size setting. The upper right sub-section 10b in front of the passenger seat, however, extends further than either of the other two upper sub-sections 10b (arrow 90).
[0051] In a further embodiment of the inventive method with the three first embodiments of the display system and thus with the embodiment of the interior fittings, air 84 or an airflow is blown and / or directed into the interior from each air opening of each display system, which here is concealed by a wing 8 of a display system in and / or on the surface of the component 2, and which is illuminated by light as the lower display content of a respective lower subfield 10a.
