Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in one embodiment, a vehicle control device 10 is provided that includes an operator station 100, a function key 200, an auxiliary key 300 and a shutter 400. The operation panel 100 can be installed in a vehicle, the function keys 200 and the auxiliary keys 300 are both disposed on the operation panel 100, and the function keys 200 are used for electrically connecting to a vehicle driving device. The shutter 400 is also disposed on the console 100 and can move to a predetermined position relative to the console 100, and the predetermined position includes at least a first position P1 and a second position P2. When the shutter 400 is in the first position P1, the shutter 400 is used to shield the function keys 200, and the auxiliary keys 300 are exposed to the console 100, i.e. the auxiliary keys 300 are not shielded by the shutter 400. When the shutter 400 is in the second position P2, the function keys 200 are exposed to the console 100.

Specifically, the user can install the console 100 at the center armrest position on the right side of the main driving position in the vehicle, which is more suitable for the user's daily driving habits, and makes the user more convenient and comfortable when operating the vehicle control device 10.

The function button 200 may be a power key or the like for controlling the operation state of the vehicle driving apparatus, and when the user wants to start the vehicle, the operable shutter 400 moves to the second position P2 with respect to the console 100 to expose the function button 200, and then the vehicle driving apparatus is turned on by the function button 200 to start the vehicle. After the vehicle is started, the user-operable shielding piece 400 moves to the first position P1 relative to the console 100 to shield the function key 200, so that the user is prevented from mistakenly touching the function key 200 to turn off the power supply of the vehicle driving device during the driving of the vehicle, and the safety during the driving of the vehicle is improved.

During the driving of the vehicle, since the auxiliary button 300 is exposed to the console 100, i.e., the auxiliary button 300 is not shielded by the shielding member 400, the user can operate the vehicle through the auxiliary button 300. It should be noted that the auxiliary key 300 may be set according to the function to be implemented by the user. For example, when the auxiliary key 300 is connected to a driving system in a vehicle and is used to select a driving mode of the vehicle, which includes an automatic driving mode and a manual driving mode, the user can autonomously select the driving mode of the vehicle through the auxiliary key 300. For another example, when the auxiliary button 300 is electrically connected to the window regulator for controlling the lifting of the window, the user can control the lifting of the window through the auxiliary button 300. Therefore, the arrangement in which the auxiliary key 300 is exposed to the console 100 may make the operation by the user more convenient.

When the user wants to stop the vehicle, the operable shutter 400 moves to the second position P2 with respect to the console 100 to expose the function button 200, and then turns off the power of the vehicle driving apparatus through the function button 200 to stop the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle control apparatus 10 improves the convenience of vehicle control and secures safety during vehicle travel.

Referring to fig. 2, the function key 200 and the auxiliary key 300 may be disposed on the same side of the console 100. For example, when the user mounts the console 100 at the center armrest position in the vehicle, the function keys 200 and the auxiliary keys 300 are both located on the side of the console 100 facing the roof, which is more suitable for the user's usage habit and is convenient for the user to operate.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the number of function keys 200 is at least two. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 3, the console 100 is provided with a first function key 210, a second function key 220, and a third function key 230. The first function key 210 may be a power key for controlling the operating state of the interactive screen in the vehicle, the second function key 220 may be a power key for controlling the operating state of the sensor device, and the third function key 230 may be a power key for controlling the operating state of the unmanned computing unit. Thus, the user may turn on and off the in-vehicle interactive screen through the first function key 210, may turn on and off the sensor device through the second function key 220, and may turn on and off the unmanned computing unit through the third function key 230.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the number of the auxiliary keys 300 is at least two. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 3, the console 100 is provided with a first auxiliary key 310 and a second auxiliary key 320. The first auxiliary button 310 is connected to a driving system in the vehicle and is used for selecting a driving mode of the vehicle, which includes an automatic driving mode and a manual driving mode. The second auxiliary button 320 is connected to a driving system in the vehicle and is used to forcibly exit the automatic driving mode, i.e., to switch the driving mode of the vehicle to the manual driving mode. When the vehicle is in the automatic driving mode while the vehicle is in a driving process, if the first auxiliary key 310 fails and the user cannot exit the automatic driving mode of the vehicle, the user may further operate the second auxiliary key 320 to forcibly exit the automatic driving mode to manually control the vehicle, thereby ensuring driving safety.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the shielding member 400 is rotatably connected to the console 100, the console 100 may be provided with a first groove 510, the function key 200 is disposed in the first groove 510, and the auxiliary key 300 is disposed outside the first groove 510. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, the function key 200 is disposed at the bottom of the first groove 510 with the key surface facing the opening direction of the first groove 510, the auxiliary key 300 is disposed outside the first groove 510, and the shielding member 400 is rotatably connected to the edge of the first groove 510. When the shutter 400 rotates to the first position P1 with respect to the first groove 510, the shutter 400 shields the first groove 510 and the function keys 200 in the first groove. When the shutter 400 rotates to the second position P2 with respect to the first groove 510, the first groove 510 and the function keys 200 in the first groove 510 are simultaneously exposed to the console 100. The key surface of the function key 200 is disposed toward the opening direction of the first groove 510, which is convenient for a user to press the function key 200 from above the key surface of the function key 200 after inserting a finger into the first groove 510.

In other embodiments, the shielding member 400 may be a cover rotatably connected to the console 100, and the user may turn the shielding member 400 over to cover the function keys 200 on the console, or may turn the shielding member 400 over to expose the function keys 200 to the console 100.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the shutter 400 may be nested within the first groove 510 when in the first position P1. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 4, the shutter 400 is in the first position P1, and the side of the shutter 400 facing away from the function keys 200 is flush with the surface of the console 100, i.e., the edge of the shutter 400 does not protrude from the surface of the console 100. This can prevent the user from accidentally touching the edge of the shielding member 400 during the driving process of the vehicle to cause the shielding member 400 to deviate from the first position P1, so as to better ensure that the function key 200 is in a state of being shielded by the shielding member 400, thereby further ensuring the safety during the driving process of the vehicle.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the console 100 is provided with a second groove 520 at an edge of the first groove 510, which is in communication with the first groove 510, and the shutter 400 is exposed to the second groove 520 in the first position P1. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the shutter 400 is located at the first position P1, the side of the shutter 400 facing away from the function key 200 is flush with the surface of the console 100, and the shutter 400 is hinged to the groove wall of the first groove 510. The second recess 520 is located at the edge of the shield 400 and in the first position P1, the shield 400 is exposed in the second recess 520. It is emphasized that the second recess 520 provides sufficient space for a user's finger to extend into the second recess 520 and contact the edge of the shield 400.

Thus, when the shield 400 is in the first position P1, a user can insert a finger into the second recess 520 to abut an edge of the shield 400 and operate the shield 400 to flip over relative to the console 100 to reach the second position P2, i.e., the second recess 520 is positioned so that the user can more easily flip the shield 400 in the first position P1.

In one embodiment, a vehicle is also provided that includes a base 20 and a vehicle control device 10 as described in any of the embodiments of fig. 1-3. Here, the base 20 is provided in the vehicle, and the console 100 of the vehicle control device 10 may be mounted to the base 20. Specifically, the base 20 may be positioned within the vehicle as desired by the user, such as by positioning the base 20 at a center armrest position to the right of a primary driver's seat within the vehicle.

As shown in fig. 1, when the console 100 is mounted to the base 20, a side of the console 100 facing away from the function keys 200 encloses a third groove 530 with the base 20. This can prevent the console 100 from interfering with the original structure of the base 20 during the installation of the console 100 to the base 20, and thus the console 100 can be more adaptable to different installation environments, that is, the installation flexibility of the vehicle control device 10 is improved.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in an embodiment, the base 20 is provided with a fourth groove 540, and the console 100 protrudes with the first support leg 110 on a side facing the base 20. Wherein, the first supporting leg 110 can extend into the fourth recess 540, and the first supporting leg 100 can be detachably connected to the base 20. It should be noted that the detachable connection of the first supporting leg 100 and the base 20 can include, but is not limited to, screwing, clipping, snapping, nesting, etc.

Specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, the fourth groove 540 is formed by recessing the base 20, and a mounting hole (not shown) is opened on one side wall of the fourth groove 540. When the console 100 is installed on the base 20, the first supporting leg 100 extends into the fourth recess 540 and is located on a side wall of the fourth recess 540, on which the installation hole is opened. The first supporting leg 100 is formed with a through hole 111 corresponding to the mounting hole, and a user can use a fixing screw to pass through the through hole 111 and connect to the mounting hole, so as to mount the first supporting leg 100 on the groove wall of the fourth recess 540. As can be seen in fig. 1 and 2, the first supporting leg 100 is only located at one side in the fourth recess 540, and the fourth recess 540 can still provide a storage space for a user to store articles therein.

In other embodiments, the console 100 may be attached to the vehicle interior by bonding. For example, when the user wants to install the console 100 in other places without installation holes, the user can directly use the fixing glue to stick the console 100 at a specified position without punching, the installation is more convenient, and the structure of the original vehicle is not damaged.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the console 100 further protrudes from a side facing the base 20 with a second supporting leg 120, the second supporting leg 120 and the first supporting leg 110 are disposed at an interval, and the second supporting leg 120 is located outside the fourth recess 540 and abuts against the base 20, so that the console 10 is supported more reliably.

The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
