VEHICLE DISPLAY ASSEMBLY
A display assembly for a vehicle, the assembly including: a trim element; a display device; and a rotational actuator for the display device. The display device is movable in rotation relative to the trim element according to a first axis of rotation between a rest position and at least a first inclined position. The display device is movable in rotation relative to the trim element according to a second axis of rotation, distinct from the first axis of rotation, between the rest position and at least a second inclined position. The rotational actuator is configured to move the display device between the rest position and the first inclined position and vice versa, or between the rest position and the second inclined position and vice versa.
Display adjustment system and method for positioning a display for a dashboard of a vehicle
A display and an adjustment device are included in a display adjustment system for an instrument panel of a vehicle. The adjustment device adjusts the display from an original position in the instrument panel into a central position in a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The adjustment device moves the display from the original position of the display in the instrument panel along a central longitudinal axis of the vehicle in the direction of a rear part of the vehicle and transversely with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the vehicle in the direction of a driver's seat so that the display is adjusted into the central position in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
EQUIPMENT COMPONENT FOR A VEHICLE
An equipment part for a vehicle, including a wing device having at least one wing. The wing is pivotably about a pivot axis between a first pivot position and a second pivot position. The wing has a base part and an extension part that is supported movably relative to the base part in a translatory manner between a base position and an extended position. An adjusting device has at least one motor drive and a transmission for executing the pivoting movement as well as the translatory movement of the wing. By way of the transmission, a conversion takes place of a rotary movement of the drive to a translatory movement of the extension part, wherein a torque about the axis of rotation is produced in the base part, with which torque the wing is pivotable between the first pivot position and the second pivot position.
Aerodynamically enhanced sensor housing
Described herein are aerodynamically enhanced sensor housings. An aerodynamically enhanced sensor housing has an asymmetrical lateral cross-section that includes a first portion having a substantially spherical curvature and a second portion having a non-spherical curvature. The second portion having the non-spherical curvature may be elongated in relation to the first portion. An aerodynamically enhanced housing can also include one or more indentations formed in an exterior surface thereof to further enhance drag reducing characteristics of the housing. In addition, air flow characteristics around the sensor housing during vehicle operation can be assessed and a drag reduction protocol can be generated and implemented to further enhanced the drag reducing characteristics of the sensor housing.
CAMERA DEVICE
A camera device comprises: a bracket; a camera module coupled to the bracket to be rotatable about a first axis; a viewing angle adjustment member including a side coupled to the bracket and an opposite side coupled to the camera module; and a support member coupled to the bracket, wherein the side of the viewing angle adjustment member includes a hook portion arranged between the bracket and the support member.
DISPLAY DEVICE
A display device 20 includes: a hinge 91; a first monitor device 21 including a first front surface 22; and a second monitor device 31 including a second front surface 32. Parallel planes from a virtual second front surface on a rear side by predetermined distances at a first angle a to a third angle c between the first front surface 22 and the virtual second front surface are defined as first to third virtual planes E to G. A rotation axis X1 of the hinge 91 is disposed on anyone of these three virtual planes or inside a space formed by the three virtual planes in a view in a direction parallel to the rotation axis X1, and the second front surface 32 is disposed at a position away from the rotation axis X1 on a front side of the second monitor device 31 by a predetermined distance.
Vehicle Mounted Articulating Camera
An articulatable mount for temporarily affixing a camera and illumination system to a vehicle is disclosed. The articulating drive mechanism is lightweight, vertically compact, and ruggedized for severe service such as withstanding shocks from off-road travel and abrupt maneuvering. Articulation and illumination may be controlled remotely over Wi-Fi from inside or nearby the vehicle, and encrypted video feeds may be received by authorized users of an ad-hoc network of available smart-phone users and in-vehicle computer systems authorized and authenticated to participate in the network.
TAPE HOLDER FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Described is a passenger seat (100) having a support (200) for holding a portable electronic device (106) coupled to a seat back (102) of the passenger seat (100). The support (200) includes an upper support (202) having an extendable portion (206) that extends from a housing (204) of the upper support (202), and a lower support (208) coupled to an end of the extendable portion (206). The extendable portion (206) has a retracted position, wherein the extendable portion (206) is located within the housing (204), and an extended position, wherein the extendable portion (206) is disposed outside of the housing (204) such that a passenger can place a portable electronic device (106) within the support (200).
Systems With Sensor Deployment Mechanisms
A vehicle may have a vehicle body and one or more movable sensors mounted to the body. A movable sensor may be rotated, linearly translated, or otherwise moved between multiple positions in response to location information, driving mode information, vehicle speed, and/or other information. The movable sensor may be moved to track objects, to provide pedestrians and others with visual feedback, to allow the sensor to gather desired sensor information to support driver assistance and autonomous driving operations, to place the sensor in a stowed position, and to perform other functions. The movable sensor may be protected with a movable cover. A cleaner may clean the sensor. The sensor may be a radar sensor, lidar sensor, camera, or other sensor. Information from the sensor may be used to detect roadway obstructions, to detect objects near the vehicle, to monitor pedestrians, and to monitor other conditions.
SENSOR ASSEMBLY FOR VEHICLE AND VEHICLE
The disclosure relates to a sensor assembly for a vehicle, comprising: a sensor body; and a positioning bracket for positioning the sensor body. A first rotary shaft and a second rotary shaft are respectively provided on the opposing first and second sides of the sensor body, and the first rotary shaft and the second rotary shaft are respectively rotatably accommodated in a first rotary shaft receiving portion and a second rotary shaft receiving portion provided on the positioning bracket so as to achieve the rotation of the sensor body relative to the positioning bracket. A toothed structure is provided on a third side of the sensor body, other than the first side and the second side, and a detent structure is correspondingly provided on the positioning bracket, and when the sensor body rotates to a desired angle relative to the positioning bracket, fixing of the sensor body relative to the positioning bracket is enabled by means of the engagement between the toothed structure and the detent structure. The disclosure further relates to a vehicle comprising the sensor assembly.
