As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the rotating disc 13 is in power coupling connection with the first engaging portion 21, the rotating disc 13 is connected with the first engaging portion 21 through splines, for example, an end surface of the rotating disc 13 facing away from the display terminal 200 is provided with an internal spline, and an end surface of the first engaging portion 21 facing away from the second engaging portion 23 is provided with an external spline.

Of course, the rotary disk 13 may be integrally formed with the first engaging portion 21, so that the number of parts to be assembled can be reduced, and the number of assembling processes can be reduced.

As shown in fig. 9, the rotating disc 13 may be a disc shape, and a circular through hole is provided in the middle of the rotating disc 13, that is, the rotating disc 13 is ring-shaped, and the mounting shaft 15 extends in the axial direction from the inner periphery of the rotating disc 13. The rotary disk 13 is connected to the mounting shaft 15, and the mounting shaft 15 and the rotary disk 13 may be formed integrally. Of course, the mounting shaft 15 and the rotating disc 13 may be separated and connected by a snap structure.

The mounting shaft 15 penetrates the clutch unit and the driving unit 30, the mounting shaft 15 is used for stringing the components into a whole, the mounting shaft 15 does not transmit power, and the mounting shaft can rotate with or without rotating when the rotating disc 13 rotates. The mounting shaft 15 may be a hollow shaft to reduce weight and facilitate routing. The clutch unit is located outside the housing of the drive unit 30.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the clutch unit includes a first engaging portion 21 and a second engaging portion 23, the first engaging portion 21 of the clutch unit is connected to the mounting unit, power transmission can be performed between the first engaging portion 21 and the mounting unit, the second engaging portion 23 of the clutch unit and the first engaging portion 21 are always locked with each other, the second engaging portion 23 of the clutch unit is locked when engaged with the first engaging portion 21, the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 are engaged and have a plurality of engaging positions, and the mounting unit is configured to be manually rotated to rotationally switch the first engaging portion 21 relative to the second engaging portion 23 among the plurality of engaging positions. The clutch unit can transmit torque when the second engaging portion 23 is engaged with the first engaging portion 21, and the second engaging portion 23 and the first engaging portion 21 have a plurality of engaging positions, for example, a plurality of engaging positions are formed on an end surface of the first engaging portion 21 opposite to the second engaging portion 23. The output end of the driving unit 30 is in power coupling connection with the second engaging part 23, and the clutch unit is located outside the housing of the driving unit 30.

Or the clutch unit comprises a first engagement portion 21 and a second engagement portion 23 arranged with their end faces facing each other, and one of the two end faces of the first engagement part 21 and the second engagement part 23 facing each other has a plurality of locking grooves 25, and the other has at least one locking projection 27, the actuator 100 may further comprise means for providing an axial pretension force, each locking projection being adapted to engage with at least two locking grooves 25 under the effect of the axial pretension force to engage the second engagement part 23 with the first engagement part 21 at least in two engagement positions distributed in the circumferential direction, when changing the engagement position, the second engagement portion 23 remains axially stationary relative to the drive unit 30, the first engagement portion 21 moves axially away from the second engagement portion 23, the first engagement portion 21 is connected to the mounting unit, and the output of the drive unit 30 is connected to the second engagement portion 23.

When changing the engagement position, the second engagement portion 23 remains relatively stationary with the drive unit 30 in the axial direction, and the first engagement portion 21 moves in the axial direction in a direction away from the second engagement portion 23. Therefore, the internal components of the driving unit 30 can be prevented from shaking, so that the driving and transmission of the driving unit 30 are more stable.

The driving unit 30 may be electrically driven, hydraulically driven, pneumatic, etc.

As shown in fig. 4, the clutch unit may be located outside the housing of the driving unit 30, so that it is not easily interfered with each component of the driving unit 30 when assembling the clutch unit, and it is not necessary to separately design an installation space of the clutch unit in the housing of the driving unit 30, which may simplify the design. Further, since the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 of the clutch unit are relatively rotated in the manual mode, if a part of the clutch unit is disposed in the housing of the driving unit 30, a problem such as seizing may occur during the operation of the actuator 100.

The clutch unit is at least partially located within the mounting unit. Such as the first engagement portion 21 or the second engagement portion 23 described in the above embodiments, is located at least partially within the rotary disk 13, which can significantly reduce the overall axial length of the actuator 100, and thus can be more compact and more compact in arrangement and connection.

The first engagement portion 21 and the second engagement portion 23 are always locked to each other, and the mounting unit is configured to be manually rotated to bring the first engagement portion 21 to be rotatably switched between a plurality of engagement positions with respect to the second engagement portion 23.

When the driving unit 30 is operated, the second engaging portion 23 engages with the first engaging portion 21, and it can be understood that the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 are engaged with each other under the action of an axial pretension force in a normal state, so that a torque can be transmitted, and a driving force is transmitted along the driving unit 30, the second engaging portion 23, the first engaging portion 21, the rotating disc 13, the mounting bracket 11 and the display terminal 200, so that the display terminal 200 is rotated, and the rotation or horizontal and vertical screen switching of the display terminal 200 is realized.

The first engagement portion 21 and the second engagement portion 23 form a circumferential static friction force under the action of the axial pretension force, and the circumferential static friction force forms an opening force for relative rotation of the first engagement portion 21 and the second engagement portion 23. When the torque applied to the first engaging portion 21 is larger than the opening force, the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 rotate relatively to change the engaging position; when the first engagement portion 21 is subjected to a torque smaller than the opening force, the first engagement portion 21 and the second engagement portion 23 are kept engaged with each other to transmit the torque.

Specifically, during operation of the actuator 100, when the driving unit 30 is not operated and the torque applied to the first engaging portion 21 is greater than the opening force, the second engaging portion 23 rotates relative to the first engaging portion 21 to change the engaging position.

For example, a torque for rotating the display terminal 200 is manually applied to the display terminal 200, the torque is transmitted to the first engaging portion 21 through the mounting unit, the driving unit 30 is fixedly connected to the second engaging portion 23 since the driving unit 30 is locked when not operating, and when the torque is not greater than the opening force, the first engaging portion 21 is engaged with the second engaging portion 23, and the display terminal 200 is not rotated; when the torque is greater than the opening force, the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 rotate relative to each other from the previous engaging position to the next engaging position, and when the first engaging portion 21 rotates relative to the second engaging portion 23 from the first engaging position to the second engaging position, the manual rotation of the display terminal 200 is achieved.

According to the actuator 100 for adjusting the display terminal 200 of the embodiment of the present invention, the manual rotation display terminal 200 and the automatic rotation display terminal 200 are coupled into a whole by the clutch unit, and the two screen-cutting modes do not interfere with each other.

The following describes a specific structural form of the clutch unit according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The clutch unit according to an embodiment of the present invention may be used as a part of the actuator 100 for adjusting the display terminal 200 to output power output from the driving unit 30 of the actuator 100 to the display terminal 200, thereby coupling the manual function and the automatic driving function together.

In one embodiment of the clutch unit, as shown in fig. 4-6, the clutch unit includes: a first engaging portion 21 and a second engaging portion 23, end faces of the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 being disposed opposite to each other, one of both end faces of the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 facing each other having a plurality of locking grooves 25, and the other of both end faces of the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 facing each other having at least one locking projection 27.

For example, the end surface of the first engagement portion 21 is provided with a locking groove 25, and the end surface of the second engagement portion 23 is provided with a locking projection 27; alternatively, the end surface of the second engagement portion 23 is provided with a locking groove 25, and the end surface of the first engagement portion 21 is provided with a locking projection 27.

Each locking projection 27 is adapted to engage with at least two locking grooves 25 to engage the second engaging portion 23 with the first engaging portion 21 at least at two engagement positions in the circumferential direction.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 may be both circular rings, and one end surface of the first engaging portion 21 and one end surface of the second engaging portion 23 are disposed opposite to each other. An end surface of one of the first engagement portion 21 and the second engagement portion 23 is provided with an oil groove 24, and the oil groove 24 is used for storing lubricating oil to reduce friction, for example, an end surface of one of the first engagement portion 21 and the second engagement portion 23, which is provided with a locking groove 25, is provided with an oil groove 24, and the oil groove 24 may be plural, specifically, plural oil grooves 24 are provided between two adjacent locking grooves 25.

One of two end faces of the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 facing each other is provided with a plurality of locking grooves 25, the other is provided with at least one locking protrusion 27, at least one part of the locking protrusion 27 extends into the locking groove 25, and when the side face of the locking protrusion 27 is pressed against the side wall of the locking groove 25, the locking protrusion 27 is engaged with the locking groove 25, namely, the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 are engaged. For example, the end surface of the first engagement portion 21 is provided with a locking groove 25, and the end surface of the second engagement portion 23 is provided with a locking projection 27; alternatively, the end surface of the second engagement portion 23 is provided with a locking groove 25, and the end surface of the first engagement portion 21 is provided with a locking projection 27. For convenience of description, the following description will be further made by taking an example in which only the end surface of the first engagement portion 21 is provided with the locking projection 27 and the end surface of the second engagement portion 23 is provided with the locking groove 25.

The first engagement portion 21 may be splined or formed integrally with the rotary disk 13 as in the above-described embodiments, and in other alternative embodiments, the first engagement portion 21 is configured such that the end surface of the rotary disk 13 facing the second engagement portion 23 is formed with the locking projection 27, that is, the disk surface of the first engagement portion 21 is omitted, so that the overall actuator 100 is lightweight. The locking projection 27 may be integrally formed on the end surface of the rotary disk 13 facing the second engagement portion 23, or the locking projection 27 may be detachably connected to the rotary disk 13, which facilitates the structure of the rotary disk 13 to be simpler and the molding to be facilitated.

The plurality of locking grooves 25 are uniformly spaced along the circumference of the second engagement portion 23, the plurality of locking protrusions 27 are uniformly spaced along the circumference of the first engagement portion 21, and the number of the locking grooves 25 and the number of the locking protrusions 27 are the same, for example, at least three, such as four, of the locking grooves 25 and the locking protrusions 27 are provided. In the embodiment where the locking grooves 25 and the locking protrusions 27 are four, under the condition that machining errors are not considered, the included angle between the center lines of two adjacent locking grooves 25 is 90 °, in the initial state, the locking protrusions 27 are engaged with the locking grooves 25 in a one-to-one correspondence, and when the first engaging portion 21 rotates relative to the second engaging portion 23 until a locking protrusion 27 is engaged with another adjacent locking groove 25, the rotation of the display terminal can be realized.

Each locking projection 27 is adapted to engage at least two locking grooves 25 such that the second engagement portion 23 and the first engagement portion 21 are adapted to engage at least in two engagement positions. For example, for a certain locking protrusion 27, the locking protrusion 27 can engage with two locking grooves 25, and the angle between the two locking grooves 25 is an angle indicating relative rotation of the first engagement portion 21 and the second engagement portion 23.

As shown in fig. 18, or the locking grooves 25 may include a plurality of sets, each set including a plurality of locking grooves 25, the locking grooves 25 of different sets are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction, when the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 are engaged at one of the engaging positions, the plurality of locking protrusions 27 correspond to the plurality of locking grooves 25 of one of the sets one to one, and when the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 are rotated to the other engaging position, the plurality of locking protrusions 27 correspond to the plurality of locking grooves 25 of the other set one to one, wherein the angle between the axes of the two locking grooves 25 corresponding to each other in the locking grooves 25 of the two sets is 90 °.

The number of the locking grooves 25 may correspond to the number of the positions of the display terminal 200, for example, when the display terminal 200 includes two positions, i.e., the display terminal 200 includes two horizontal and vertical screens, the locking grooves 25 are 2, for example, the locking grooves 25 include two sets, each set includes three locking grooves 25 uniformly spaced along the circumferential direction, the two sets of locking grooves 25 are staggered along the circumferential direction, for example, each locking groove 25 of the first set is provided with one locking groove 25 of the second set at both sides, so that each locking protrusion 27 only needs to be inserted into one locking groove 25 from another locking groove 25 during each rotation, and will not fall into a non-target locking groove 25 during rotation, the angle between the locking groove 25 of the first set and one of the two locking grooves 25 of the second set is 90 °, the angle between the locking groove 25 of the first set and another locking groove 25 of the second set is 30 °, the locking protrusion 27 includes three, the three locking protrusions 27 are uniformly spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and the rotation of the display terminal 200 is achieved when the three locking protrusions 27 are engaged with the different sets of locking grooves 25.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, each of the locking groove 25 and the locking protrusion 27 has an arc-shaped cross section, and the width of the root of the locking protrusion 27 is greater than the width of the tip of the locking protrusion 27, the width of the open end of the locking groove 25 is greater than the width of the bottom of the locking groove 25, and the width of the locking protrusion 27 is gradually reduced from the root to the tip.

When the arc-shaped side surface of the locking protrusion 27 is pressed against the arc-shaped side wall of the locking groove 25, torque can be transmitted between the first engagement part 21 and the second engagement part 23; when the torque between the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 is greater than the opening force, the arc-shaped side surface of the locking protrusion 27 slides relative to the arc-shaped side wall of the locking groove 25, when the locking protrusion 27 abuts against the end surface of the first engaging portion 21 or the second engaging portion 23, the first engaging portion 21 disengages from the second engaging portion 23, and the locking protrusion 27 slides to the other locking groove 25 along the end surface of the first engaging portion 21 or the second engaging portion 23, so that the rotation of the display terminal 200 is realized.

Due to the arc-shaped locking groove 25 and the arc-shaped locking protrusion 27, the first engaging part 21 and the second engaging part 23 can be disengaged through relative sliding of the arc-shaped surfaces when the torque is large, and the clamping condition is not easy to occur. After the locking groove 25 and the locking protrusion 27 are disengaged, the arc-shaped locking protrusion 27 slides along the end surface of the second engaging portion 23, and the friction force between the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 is small, so that the locking device can slide to the next engaging position quickly and is not easy to block.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the lock groove 25 and the lock projection 27 each have a sector ring shape concentric with the first engagement portion 21 or the second engagement portion 23, and the lock groove 25 and the lock projection 27 each have a sector ring-shaped cross section concentric with the first engagement portion 21 or the second engagement portion 23, as viewed in the axial direction of the clutch unit. That is, the width of the locking groove 25 becomes gradually larger from the inside to the outside in the radial direction, and the width of the locking projection 27 becomes gradually larger from the inside to the outside in the radial direction. It can be understood that when the first joint part 21 and the second joint part 23 transmit torque, the torque applied to the outer end is large, and by arranging the structure, the force-bearing area of the outer end can be increased, the pressure applied to the outer end can be reduced, the strength of the outer end can be enhanced, and the outer end can be prevented from being broken.

As shown in fig. 4-6, at least a portion of the locking protrusion 27 has a width greater than the width of the open end of the locking groove 25, and at least one side of the locking protrusion 27 is pressed against the corresponding side of the locking groove 25 to engage the locking protrusion 27 with the locking groove 25. Therefore, each locking protrusion 27 can be ensured to be engaged with the corresponding locking groove 25, and when a certain error exists between the actual rotation angle and the design angle of the display terminal 200, each locking protrusion 27 is kept engaged with the corresponding locking groove 25, so that the situation that part of the locking protrusions 27 are in virtual engagement with the corresponding locking grooves 25 is prevented.

Preferably, the width of the locking groove 25 is gradually reduced from the open end to the bottom, the width of the locking protrusion 27 is gradually reduced from the root to the top, and the width of the open end of the locking groove 25 is smaller than the width of the root of the locking protrusion 27. In other words, the central angle of the sector ring shape of the open end of the locking groove 25 is smaller than the central angle of the sector ring shape of the root of the locking projection 27, and when the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23 are engaged, the engagement position of the locking projection 27 with the locking groove 25 is correlated with the circumferential alignment position of the locking projection 27 with the locking groove 25.

It can be understood that, ideally (regardless of the processing error between the locking protrusion 27 and the locking groove 25), the equal heights of the two sides of each locking boss respectively abut against the two side edges of the open end of the locking groove 25; due to machining errors, for example, the included angle between two adjacent locking bosses is not equal to 90 °, the width of each locking boss is different, a part of the locking bosses and the corresponding locking grooves 25 may be pressed on one side, and at least one side of the locking protrusion 27 is pressed on the corresponding side of the locking groove 25, so that the locking protrusion 27 is engaged with the locking groove 25.

That is to say, through setting up locking arch 27 and locking groove 25 of above-mentioned structural style, can guarantee that every locking arch 27 all interlocks with corresponding locking groove 25, and when there is certain error in the actual turned angle of display terminal 200 and design angle, every locking arch 27 all keeps the interlock with corresponding locking groove 25, prevent the condition that some locking arch 27 and corresponding locking groove 25 are virtual to interlock, on the other hand locking arch 27 partly interlock with locking groove 25, locking arch 27 roll-off locking groove 25 when being convenient for manual operation.

The depth of the locking groove 25 is smaller than the height of the locking projection 27, so that the strength of the second engagement portion 23 is large.

In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the actuator 100 further comprises: the elastic member 40 elastically presses between the mounting unit and the driving unit 30 along the axial direction of the clutch unit, so that the driving unit 30, the clutch unit, and the mounting unit are sequentially pressed, the elastic pre-tightening force (i.e. the axial pre-tightening force) of the elastic member 40 is used for engaging the second engaging portion 23 with the first engaging portion 21, and the elastic member 40 may be a spring.

In the manual mode, when a torque is applied to the first engaging portion 21, for example, the display terminal 200 is manually rotated, a torque is generated between the first engaging portion 21 and the second engaging portion 23, when the torque is larger than the opening force, the locking protrusion 27 gradually escapes from the locking groove 25, after the locking protrusion 27 escapes from the locking groove 25, the second engaging portion 23 and the driving unit 30 are axially fixed with respect to the entire vehicle, the elastic member 40 is compressed, the first engaging portion 21 moves in the axial direction in a direction away from the second engaging portion 23, and the display terminal 200 also moves in the axial direction in a direction away from the second engaging portion 23, that is, the display terminal 200 moves in the backward direction (the backward direction of the entire vehicle).

The axial fixed connection between the axial stop 42, the mounting shaft 15 and the rotating disc 13 limits the axial length of the system. Therefore, a certain positive pressure (provided by the compression deformation of the elastic element 40) can be kept between the components connected in series, the locking function of the system is realized, and the axial limiting among the components is realized at the same time.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 10, the other end of the elastic member 40 is pressed against the housing of the driving unit 30 by an elastic member end face bearing 41, and the elastic member end face bearing 41 may be a thrust bearing. Accordingly, when the display terminal 200 rotates, the housing of the driving unit 30 does not move, the mounting shaft 15 rotates, and the elastic end face bearing 41 is provided to remarkably reduce the frictional force between the elastic member 40 and the housing of the driving unit 30. The casing of the driving unit 30 has an axial limiting portion 37g, an annular mounting groove is formed at the axial limiting portion 37g, the end face bearing 41 of the elastic member is mounted in the mounting groove and abuts against one side face (bottom wall of the mounting groove) of the axial limiting portion 37g, and a part of the elastic member 40 is also located in the mounting groove, so that the axial length of the whole actuator 100 is short. Meanwhile, the first groove 13a and the second groove 13b of the rotating disc and the cavity 11a of the mounting bracket 11 are structurally combined with each other, so that the whole mechanism is more compact and reasonable in arrangement and more compact in connection.

The function realization principle is as follows:

1) transfer route of the actuator 100 in automatic mode: the output torque of the motor is decelerated and increased by the driving unit 30, the scheme is realized by a speed reducer, the second joint part 23 of the output end of the first joint part is transmitted to the first joint part 21, the first joint part 21 transmits torque to the rotating disc 13 through a plurality of circumferential locking grooves 25 (through corresponding boss structures of the rotating disc 13), the rotating disc 13 is driven to realize plane rotation, thereby driving the mounting bracket 11 and the display terminal 200 fixedly connected thereto to perform plane rotation, and when the rotation is 90 degrees, the limiting groove 14 on the rotating disc 13 reaches the end, the limiting groove is limited by the positioning pin on the driving unit 30, the motor is locked, the current is increased, the control system detects a locked-rotor signal and transmits an in-place signal through the gyroscope arranged in the display terminal 200, the control system recognizes the in-place state and carries out power-off processing on the motor, the transmission of the power system is interrupted, and the system is locked in place.

2) Transfer route of the rotating system in manual mode: in the automatic mode, the second joint parts 23, 05 and the first joint part 21 rotate together relative to the rest, but in the manual mode, the second joint part 23 is locked and fixed due to the self-locking function of the straight gear wheel in the inner part of the movement. So that only the first engaging portion 21 integrally rotates following the rotary disk 13, the mounting bracket 11 and the display terminal 200. The torque transmission path starts when the display terminal 200 is turned by a human hand, via the mounting bracket 11 to the turn plate 13 to the first engaging portion 21. The locking function in the manual mode is realized by the special structure of the first and

second engagement parts

21 and 23.

3) Locking and protection system in place: the in-place locking function of the rotary mechanism system in the automatic mode is ensured by providing positive pressure through the compression deformation of the elastic piece 40; the enough system positive pressure between the contact surfaces of the components can effectively isolate the influence of the road impact transmitted to the system from the base 50 on the display terminal 200, thereby effectively protecting the transmission system and further improving the reliability of the system.

One end of the automatic mode rotating disc 13 uses the axial limiting part 42 to form the retaining wall to compress the elastic part 40, the other end is a disc body, similar to the action of a shaft shoulder, the locking action of a plurality of axial parts is realized together, the design can effectively prevent the display terminal 200 from vibrating and circling round a circle because of the existence of a tooth gap in the driving unit 30, the visual retention phenomenon caused by the display terminal is avoided, meanwhile, the damage risk of a transmission system caused by micro-vibration in the vibration impact is prevented, and therefore the anti-vibration and anti-vibration performance of the system is ensured.

And the cross sections of the locking groove 25 and the locking bulge 27 are arc-shaped, so that not only can the clear positioning be realized, but also the better hand feeling can be considered. The locking groove 25 is slightly larger than the locking protrusion 27 to reserve a proper pre-pressing angle, so that the phenomenon of no-position clamping caused by manufacturing tolerance can be avoided, the requirements on the precision of a clutch unit and a position are reduced, and the shaking and instability of parts caused by a gap generated by production errors can be avoided. The oil groove 24 is formed in the end face of the second joint part 23, so that the friction state of the first joint part 21 and the second joint part 23 during relative rotation is greatly improved, the service life of parts is prolonged, and the hand feeling of a user during manual rotation is improved to a certain extent.

4) In order to improve the riding experience of the customer, the display terminal 200 of the present system rotates at a very slow rotation speed (about 6-10 r/min), which requires the driving unit 30 to have a large transmission ratio, about 1500-2000. The double-worm speed reduction system of the planetary gear train speed reducer or the two-stage worm and straight gear can be selected according to the specific structural layout, the integral rotating shaft is designed to be of a hollow structure, and the design of a locking system is facilitated.
