Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Without loss of generality, the present embodiment will be described in detail with the interior of the vehicle cabin shown in the drawings as a description basis, and a specific scheme of the vehicle center console that can move in the space is described. It should be understood that the specific dimensions of the vehicle cabin and the seat anatomy, etc., are not central to the present application and do not constitute a substantial limitation on the movable center console claimed herein.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a schematic view illustrating a usage state of a movable center console according to the present embodiment, and fig. 2 is a schematic view illustrating an overall structure of the movable center console.

The automobile cabin is provided with a rear row storage space A, an inter-seat cabin channel B and a middle cabin space C which are communicated in sequence to form a continuous area, for example, but not limited to, the scheme takes three partial spaces as a displaceable area of the center console 1.

In this solution, the center console 1 of the movable position is designed to be independent of the vehicle body, wherein a plurality of first coils 12 are arranged at intervals on the bottom of the console body 11, and the first coils 12 are adapted to a plurality of second coils 21 arranged on the floor of the vehicle body and a plurality of third coils 22 arranged on the inner side of the vehicle.

Wherein the second coil 21 is arranged at intervals in a displaceable area of the vehicle body floor, please refer to fig. 3, which shows a schematic layout of the second coil 21. Accordingly, the first coil 12 and the second coil 21 have opposite current directions, so that lorentz forces with opposite directions are generated to form high-frequency levitation force of the center console 1. Based on the formation of this levitation force, the console 1 is already in equilibrium with forces in the air in the vertical direction, in which state the resistance to movement in the horizontal direction is negligible.

Wherein, the first coil 12 can form the driving guiding acting force of the displacement of the console body 1 in the displaceable area according to the magnetic signal formed by electrifying the third coil 22. Referring also to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of the third coil 22 is shown. That is, the third coil 22 disposed at the vehicle interior side portion generates an electromagnetic signal upon energization, and the first coil 12 on the center console body 11 receives inductively, and thereby forms the driving guide force.

Specifically, the signal amplification processing can be performed after the electromagnetic signal is received in an induction mode, so that more reliable driving guide acting force can be obtained, and therefore the console can freely move in a horizontal plane relative to the floor. Referring to fig. 5a and 5b, two typical usage statuses of the console are shown respectively.

Based on the change of the position in the cabin of the center console 1, the cabin system space can be flexibly utilized according to the requirements of passengers, and better user experience is achieved. In practical application, as shown in fig. 1, the center console 1 can be placed in the rear storage space a, which corresponds to a hidden area of the center console and does not occupy the main use area of passengers in the cabin. When the center console 1 is used, the center console can be displaced to any position in the displaceable area by the aid of the driving guide acting force on the basis of the suspension acting force.

It can be understood that different vehicle models have different internal design schemes, and the internal space arrangement is not completely consistent. Therefore, the "displaceable region" should be configured and set according to the specific vehicle type as long as the "displaceable region" is formed between the continuous regions, and is not limited to the preferred exemplary three regions provided by the present embodiment.

As shown in fig. 2, the plurality of first coils 12 are arranged at the bottom of the console body 11 at a spacing in a row, and as shown in fig. 3, the plurality of second coils 21 are arranged at a spacing in a row in a vehicle body floor displaceable area, which is a combination of space for arrangement and functional requirements for forming a functional force. Specifically, the first coil 12 and the second coil 21 are preferably coils of high-frequency current, and may adopt a modular structure as shown in fig. 6, the coils may be disposed in a module housing, and fixed connection with the center console body 11 and the vehicle body floor is achieved by using the coil module fixing positions 31, respectively; meanwhile, the corresponding electrical connections are completed one by one after the coil wiring correspondingly extends out through the coil module wiring harness hole 32.

In addition, the portion of the vehicle interior on which the third coil 22 is disposed may be selected according to specific regulatory requirements. Preferably, the plurality of third coils 22 may be arranged in four directions of front, rear, left, and right of the vehicle body inner side as needed, without limitation to the B-pillars on both sides of the vehicle inner side portion and the back area of the front seat as shown in the drawings, as long as the function of drive guide is enabled within the scope of the present application.

Further, the console 1 with a movable position provided by the present embodiment can use the control unit 41 to output instructions for controlling the operating currents of the first coil 12, the second coil 21 and the third coil 22, respectively, so as to achieve the functional requirements of automatic control. On the basis, the system further comprises a collecting unit 42 for collecting a vehicle operation stability signal, please refer to fig. 7, which is a control block diagram of the center console. In this way, if the displacement lock condition is satisfied by the vehicle operation stabilization signal, the control unit 41 outputs a command for controlling the first coil 12 and the second coil 21 to have the same current direction, so as to form a lock force for fixing the relative positions of the two. Such as but not limited to vehicle shaking or vehicle start/stop, etc., which are influenced by external force input, the magnetic force generated by the first coil 12 of the console 1 and the second coil 21 of the chassis attract each other based on the magnetic effect of the current, so as to form a locking force for fixing the relative positions of the two. By the arrangement, the automatic locking of the center console can be realized in an unstable state, the unlimited arbitrary movement of the center console 1 is prevented, and the safety and the reliability are better.

Of course, the control unit 41 may be a newly added controller or an automobile ECU; the acquisition unit 42 may be a sensor with a corresponding information acquisition function, or may be an automobile ECU data acquisition unit, as long as the above-mentioned automatic locking function can be realized and a corresponding control instruction is output.

In this embodiment, the console body 11 preferably establishes signal transmission with the vehicle ECU through a wireless communication interface, and specifically, the console body 11 is configured with an operation function area and a storage area (not shown). The operating function area comprises a storage box and/or a cup seat, the operating function area comprises an air conditioner control panel and a multimedia control panel, and the operating function area also comprises functions of a USB interface, a cigarette lighter and the like.

According to the movable center console provided by the embodiment, through the combined application of the technologies such as the electromagnetic effect, the high-frequency electromagnetic field suspension and the like, passengers can sense and unlock the moving function of the center console in the cabin through a human-computer interaction system, and the center console is hidden in the storage space in the rear row of the automobile and can move to any position in the cabin. Redefining the console, abandoning the traditional big and complete characteristics, inheriting the concept of small and ingenious and captured hands, and greatly facilitating travel while effectively utilizing the internal space of the cockpit.

In addition to the movable center console, the present embodiment also provides an automobile including the center console as described above. It is understood that other functions of the automobile constitute non-core points of the invention, and those skilled in the art can implement the functions based on the prior art, so that the detailed description is omitted herein.

The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
