Description

Vehicle-mounted device, motor vehicle, and method of installing the vehicle-mounted device

Technical field

The present invention relates to an in-vehicle device for a motor vehicle, a motor vehicle having the aforementioned in-vehicle device, and a method of mounting the in-vehicle device.

Background technique

With the rapid development of motor vehicle technology and electronic technology, people are not satisfied with the function of motor vehicles as a means of transportation. They also expect motor vehicles to be comfortable, electronically entertaining, interactive, and maneuvering. Further improvements have been made in such areas as to place increasing demands on functional modules or on-board devices, such as on the center console of a motor vehicle.

1 is a schematic perspective view showing an in-vehicle device mounted on a center console of a motor vehicle according to a prior art. A plurality of functional modules or vehicle-mounted devices are arranged on the center console of a conventional motor vehicle in the prior art to provide a certain ride comfort and electronic entertainment for the occupant, for example, as shown in FIG. A radio module 1 is provided on the center console to provide electronic entertainment for the occupants, and the rider is provided with the ride comfort by the air conditioner module 2, wherein the radio module 1 has a small display 1A for the occupant to operate the radio. . Modules such as car CD modules and car DVD modules are also placed on the center console of some motor vehicles to provide further electronic entertainment for the occupants.

With the development of electronic technology, people began to be dissatisfied with the small screen display 1A of the prior art as shown in FIG. 1, and began to manufacture a larger screen at low cost. As shown in FIG. 2, it is a schematic perspective view showing an in-vehicle device mounted on a center console of a motor vehicle according to another prior art, wherein the radio module 1 and the air conditioning module 2 are as shown in FIG. The embedded touch screen 1' is upgraded to a larger screen, and the occupant can manipulate, for example, a radio and an air conditioner by touching the touch screen 1', and the touch screen 1' sometimes also functions as a navigator. Although the large touch screen 1' of the prior art as shown in FIG. 2 has been greatly improved with respect to the small screen 1A of the prior art as shown in FIG. 1, since the touch screen 1' is embedded in the center control Taichung, its size is limited by the size of the center console itself and the size of the mounting module on the center console, so the size of the touch screen 1' is difficult to make a greater breakthrough, and since the touch screen 1' is embedded and fixed, its attitude / The angle cannot be adjusted, and the attitude/angle is often not the most ergonomic with respect to the occupants, and it is not very convenient to operate. In particular, for the driver, he/she needs to maintain one on the one hand during the driving process. The fixed body posture is convenient for safely manipulating the steering wheel and the accelerator pedal, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to observe the road surface condition. In this case, it is often difficult to simultaneously perform touch operation on the embedded touch screen 1' while ensuring sufficient safety. From these perspectives, the large embedded touch screen in the prior art still has a large room for improvement.

In order to overcome the above shortcomings of embedded screens, some simple alternatives have emerged in recent years. For example, some designers have proposed to use an external navigator instead of an embedded car navigation system embedded in the center console, and adopt a suction cup, such as a suction cup. The device mounts the navigator on the front windshield, so that the size of the navigator is not limited to the size of the center console itself, and the posture of the navigator can be easily adjusted. However, this simple alternative also has some disadvantages. For example, due to the use of an adsorption connection, the connection is not secure enough, and in the event of a bump or collision of the vehicle, the navigator may be thrown out and cause injury to the occupant. Moreover, this simple alternative is not high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade due to the exposure of the navigator, which is difficult to meet the needs of some high-end markets. In short, this simple alternative has irreparable defects in terms of safety, reliability, non-influence of the driver's vision, and interconnection with the vehicle's electronic system, and cannot be widely promoted in the market.

Therefore, there is a need to provide an improved in-vehicle device having a display screen for a motor vehicle, which is referred to as a vehicle-mounted screen device in the prior art, which overcomes the prior art. One or more or even all of the aforementioned problems of the in-vehicle device.
