Avn monitor drive unit for vehicle tilting mechanism
The granted patent US12043183B2 describes an innovative audio-video-navigation (AVN) monitor drive unit designed for vehicles. This unit features a monitor assembly with a screen on its front side and a hinge bracket attached to its rear side. A unique tilting mechanism allows the monitor assembly to tilt relative to the hinge bracket, enhancing user accessibility and visibility. The tilting portion consists of multiple rotatable components, including first and second rotation members, and a drive member that adjusts the tilt by varying its length. The monitor assembly is also equipped with a connector for receiving external signals, enabling it to display images based on these inputs.
Further details of the AVN monitor drive unit include a monitor frame that supports the screen, a bracket cover, and a monitor bracket with specific structural features to facilitate rotation and support. The hinge bracket is designed to allow sliding movement of the monitor assembly, and it incorporates various support holes for the rotation members. The drive member, which is housed within a motor housing, is responsible for the linear movement necessary for tilting the monitor assembly towards the passenger seat. The design also includes a hinge housing and a cover member that secures the assembly to the vehicle's dashboard, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic integration within the vehicle's interior.
