[0051] With the development of intelligent electric vehicles, different from traditional vehicles which mainly focus on driving and riding, intelligent electric vehicles also undertake multiple attributes such as socializing, entertainment, and office work, and gradually become the "third living space" in addition to living and working spaces. However, the traditional glove box has a single storage space and cannot meet the higher needs of the co-pilot passengers.

[0052] The main object of the present invention is to propose an in-vehicle glove box, a control method, and a vehicle, aiming to at least solve the technical problem of the single storage space of the traditional glove box.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in an embodiment of the present invention, the in-vehicle glove box 100 includes a box body 1, a box cover 2, and a partition plate 3. The box body 1 has a storage cavity, and the front side of the storage cavity is open; the lower end of the box cover 2 is rotatably arranged on the lower end of the box body 1 along the axis extending in the width direction of the box body 1 so as to be able to open and close the opening of the storage cavity during the rotation stroke; the partition plate 3 is movably arranged relative to the box body 1, and the partition plate 3 has a partition position and a support position during its movement stroke; in the partition position, the partition plate 3 is located in the storage cavity to divide the storage cavity into two chambers in the up-down direction; in the support position, at least part of the partition plate 3 extends out of the opening of the storage cavity to form a support panel.

[0054] In the technical solution of the present invention, the in-vehicle glove box 100 includes a box body 1, a box cover 2 and a partition plate 3. The box body 1 has a storage cavity, and the front side of the storage cavity is open; the lower end of the box cover 2 is rotatably arranged on the lower end of the box body 1 along the axis extending in the width direction of the box body, so as to be able to open and close the opening of the storage cavity during the rotation stroke; the partition plate 3 is movably arranged relative to the box body, and the partition plate 3 has a partition position and a support position during its movement stroke. By providing the partition plate, the partition plate 3 is movably arranged relative to the box body, so that it has a partition position and a support position. When the partition plate 3 is in the partition position, the storage cavity is divided into two chambers, increasing the utilization rate of the storage space. Different items can be stored in each chamber, which is convenient to use; at the same time, the partition plate 3 can be operated to move from the partition position to the support position, that is, at least part of the partition plate 3 extends out of the opening of the storage cavity, and the partition plate 3 can be used as a support panel for operations such as working, applying makeup, and eating, increasing the usage functions.

[0055] There are various ways for the partition plate 3 to move relative to the box body 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, a plurality of mounting positions can be provided on the box body 1, specifically in the storage cavity. The partition plate 3 is detachably connected to the mounting positions. When the partition plate 3 is installed in one of the mounting positions, the partition plate 3 is completely located in the storage cavity, that is, the partition plate 3 is in the partition position. In another mounting position, the partition plate 3 can partially or completely extend out of the opening of the storage cavity and be used as a support panel. Among them, the present design does not limit the detachable connection method between the partition plate 3 and the mounting positions, which can be through snap connection or magnetic attraction connection, etc.

[0057] In some embodiments, the partition plate 3 can be rotatably arranged relative to the box body 1. Specifically, the front end of the partition plate 3 is rotatably arranged in the storage cavity. When it is necessary to switch from the partition position to the support position, with the front end of the partition plate 3 as the rotation center, the rear end can be rotated outside the storage cavity.

[0058] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, sliding grooves 11 extending in the front-rear direction are provided on both side walls of the storage cavity in the width direction. The partition plate 3 is slidably arranged in the sliding grooves 11 so as to be able to reach the partition position and the support position during the sliding stroke. When it is necessary to switch from the partition position to the support position, the partition plate 3 is slid forward so that the partition plate 3 slides out of the opening of the storage cavity; when it is necessary to switch from the support position to the partition position, the partition plate 3 is slid backward so that the partition plate 3 is completely located in the storage cavity.

[0059] Furthermore, the present application also proposes that the lid 2 has multiple opening angles during its rotation stroke, and the multiple opening angles include a first opening angle and a second opening angle greater than the first opening angle; when the partition plate 3 is in the support position and the lid 2 is at the first opening angle, the upper end of the lid 2 supports the lower side of the partition plate 3.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the lid 2 has multiple opening angles, including a first opening angle and a second opening angle. When the partition plate 3 is in the support position and the lid 2 is at the first opening angle, the upper end of the lid 2 can support the lower side of the partition plate 3. In this way, it can be ensured that when the lid 2 is at a specific opening angle, the partition plate 3 can be reliably supported, solving the problem of instability of the partition plate 3 in the support position; and the lid 2 can be opened to a second opening angle greater than the first opening angle, that is, the lid 2 has a larger opening, which is convenient for taking and placing items.

[0061] The multiple opening angles of the lid 2 can be realized by a mechanical limiting structure 4 or an electronic control device. During the rotation stroke of the lid 2, a mechanical limiting structure 4 can be set to limit the first opening angle and the second opening angle of the lid 2. For example, a limiting block 43 can be provided between the box body 1 and the lid 2, and the limiting block 43 contacts the lid 2 when the lid 2 rotates to the first opening angle to form a physical limit. In addition, an electronic control device can also be used to monitor the opening angle of the lid 2 and perform limit control when the preset angle is reached.

[0062] By setting multiple opening angles during the rotation stroke of the lid 2 in the present application, it is ensured that when the lid 2 is at the first opening angle, the upper end of the lid 2 can support the lower side of the partition plate 3. The problem of possible instability of the partition plate 3 in the support position is solved, and the usability and safety of the in-vehicle glove box 100 are improved.

[0063] Furthermore, the present application also proposes that the in-vehicle glove box 100 further includes the limiting structure 4 provided between the box body 1 and the lid 2, and the limiting structure 4 is used to limit the lid 2 when the lid 2 is at the first opening angle.

[0064] The function of the limiting structure 4 is to ensure that the lid 2 can be fixed when it is at the first opening angle, preventing it from continuing to rotate when not needed. The limiting structure 4 is arranged between the box body 1 and the lid 2 to play a limiting role. By restricting the rotation angle of the lid 2, the partition plate 3 is stably supported by the lid 2, ensuring the stability and safety of the in-vehicle glove box 100 during use. By arranging the limiting structure 4 between the lid 2 and the box body 1, the stability of the lid 2 at the first opening angle is ensured, thereby improving the stability and safety when working, eating, or working on the partition plate 3.

[0065] The limiting structure 4 can be implemented in various ways. For example, mechanical limiting devices such as spring pins and positioning pins can be used. These devices can achieve the limiting effect when the lid 2 is at the first opening angle through cooperation with the lid 2 and the box body 1. Another possible implementation method is to use an electric limiting device. The angle of the lid 2 is detected by a sensor, and when the lid 2 reaches the first opening angle, the electric device automatically locks the lid 2. In addition, a magnetic limiting device can also be used to achieve the limiting function of the lid 2 through the mutual attraction of a magnet and a metal sheet.

[0066] In another embodiment, a card slot can be provided on the lower side of the partition plate 3. When the partition plate 3 is in the supporting position, the upper end of the lid 2 is clamped with the card slot, thereby stably supporting the partition plate 3.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Furthermore, the present application also proposes that the limiting structure 4 includes the gear 41, the rack 42, and the limiting block 43: the gear 41 is in transmission connection with the lid 2 to rotate following the lid 2 when the lid 2 rotates; the rack 42 is slidably arranged on the box body 1 along a first direction and meshes with the gear 41; the limiting block 43 is arranged on the box body 1 to contact one side of the rack 42 in a second direction when the lid 2 is at the first opening angle, where the second direction intersects the first direction.

[0068] The limiting structure 4 is composed of the gear 41, the rack 42, and the limiting block 43. The gear 41 is in driving connection with the box cover 2 and can rotate following the rotation of the box cover 2. The rack 42 is slidably arranged on the box body 1 along a first direction and meshes with the gear 41. The limiting block 43 is arranged on the box body 1. When the box cover 2 is at a first opening angle, the limiting block 43 contacts one side of the rack 42 in a second direction. In this way, the limiting structure 4 can limit the box cover 2 when it is at the first opening angle, preventing the box cover 2 from continuing to rotate, thereby ensuring that the box cover 2 is stable at a predetermined angle. At the same time, the way the limiting block 43 limits the rack 42 is by frictional damping, and when the box cover 2 is driven to rotate manually, it will not hinder the box cover 2 from rotating to a second opening angle.

[0069] The gear 41 can be a conventional cylindrical gear 41 or a bevel gear 41, and the rack 42 can be a straight rack 42 or a helical rack 42. The limiting block 43 can be fixed to the box body 1 by means such as screws or welding. The transmission connection between the gear 41 and the box cover 2 is achieved by means such as key connection or spline connection. The meshing between the rack 42 and the gear 41 can be achieved by adjusting the number of teeth of the gear 41 and the pitch of the rack 42. The position of the limiting block 43 can be adjusted according to the opening angle of the box cover 2 to ensure that when the box cover 2 is at the first opening angle, the limiting block 43 can accurately contact the rack 42.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 Furthermore, the present application also proposes that the vehicle glove box 100 further includes a locking structure 5. The locking structure 5 includes a locking cooperation part 51, a locking part 52, and a locking driving part 53. The locking cooperation part 51 is arranged on the box cover 2; the locking part 52 is movably arranged on the box body 1; the locking driving part 53 is in driving connection with the locking part 52 to drive the locking part 52 to move. Wherein, when the box cover 2 closes the opening of the storage cavity, the locking part 52 can move to cooperate with the locking cooperation part 51 to lock the box cover 2.

[0071] By arranging the locking cooperation part 51, the locking part 52, and the locking driving part 53, when the box cover 2 closes the opening of the storage cavity, the locking part 52 can move to cooperate with the locking cooperation part 51, thereby locking the box cover 2, and the locking structure 5 of the present application solves the problem that the box cover 2 of the vehicle glove box 100 cannot be automatically opened and locked.

[0072] The locking and mating part 51 can adopt various forms. For example, it can be a groove or a protrusion provided on the box cover 2. The locking part 52 can be a hook or a snap structure provided on the box body 1, and can be movable under the drive of the locking drive part 53. The locking drive part 53 can adopt a motor, a cylinder or other driving devices, and can provide sufficient power to drive the locking part 52 to move. For example, when using a motor as the locking drive part 53, the motor can drive the locking part 52 to move through the transmission of the gear 41, so as to realize the locking function.

[0073] Furthermore, the present application also proposes that both the locking part 52 and the locking drive part 53 are provided on the outer side wall of the box body 1, and one end of the locking part 52 can extend into the storage cavity during its moving stroke to cooperate with the locking and mating part 51.

[0074] By arranging the locking part 52 and the locking drive part 53 on the outer side wall of the box body 1, the space in the storage cavity can be avoided from being occupied, thereby improving the space utilization rate. One end of the locking part 52 can extend into the storage cavity during the moving stroke to cooperate with the locking and mating part 51, so as to realize the locking function of the box cover 2. This design solves the problems of low space utilization rate and complex installation caused by the arrangement of the locking part 52 and the locking drive part 53 inside the box body 1.

[0075] Specifically, the locking part 52 can be moved by an electric driving device or a mechanical driving device. For example, the electric driving device can include a motor and a transmission mechanism, and the motor drives the locking part 52 to move; the mechanical driving device can include a spring and a sliding mechanism, and the elastic force of the spring drives the locking part 52 to move. As a preferred implementation manner, the moving stroke of the locking part 52 can be controlled by a limiting device to ensure that the locking part 52 can accurately extend into the storage cavity and cooperate with the locking and mating part 51 during the moving stroke.

[0076] Thus, by arranging the locking part 52 and the locking drive part 53 on the outer side wall of the box body 1, the space in the storage cavity is avoided from being occupied, and the space utilization rate is improved. At the same time, one end of the locking part 52 can extend into the storage cavity during the moving stroke to cooperate with the locking and mating part 51, so as to realize the locking function of the box cover 2. This design not only simplifies the installation process, but also improves the use efficiency of the box body 1.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 1Furthermore, the present application also proposes that the upper end of the box cover 2 is provided with the hook 6 along the axis extending in the width direction of the box body 1, and the hook 6 has a use position and a storage position in its rotation stroke. In the use position, the hook 6 is located on the side of the box cover 2 away from the storage cavity; in the storage position, the hook 6 is located on the side of the box cover 2 opposite to the storage cavity.

[0078] The function of these features is to provide a convenient hook 6. When it is necessary to hang items, the hook 6 can be rotated to a use position; when it is not needed, the hook 6 can be rotated to a storage position, so as not to occupy space and not to affect the appearance. Specifically, the design of the hook 6 allows it to be conveniently used when needed and can be hidden when not needed, without affecting the overall function and appearance of the glove box.

[0079] In order to better store the hook 6, in a further embodiment, a receiving groove is provided on the inner side of the box cover 2, and the hook 6 is received in the receiving groove when in the storing position.

[0080] The hook 6 can be made of a variety of materials, such as metal, plastic or composite materials. The rotation axis of the hook 6 can be realized by a hinge or other rotating mechanism to ensure that the hook 6 rotates smoothly between the use position and the storage position. In order to enhance the stability of the hook 6, a buckle or the limiting structure 4 can be provided at the use position and the storage position of the hook 6 respectively to prevent the hook 6 from rotating in an unexpected state. As a preferred embodiment, an anti-slip coating or texture can be provided on the hook 6 to increase friction and ensure that it is not easy to slip when hanging and taking items.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 7 Furthermore, the present application also proposes a control method for the vehicle glove box 100, wherein the vehicle glove box 100 includes an acquisition device, a reminder device and a driving device, and the driving device is used to drive the box cover 2 to rotate. The control method includes the following steps: upon receiving the opening instruction of the box cover 2, controlling the acquisition device to work to obtain the leg position information of the passenger; calculating the distance between the box cover 2 and the legs when the box cover 2 is opened to a preset angle according to the leg position information; comparing the distance between the box cover 2 and the legs with the preset opening distance; if the distance between the box cover 2 and the legs is greater than the preset opening distance, controlling the driving device to work so that the box cover 2 is opened to the preset angle; if the distance between the box cover 2 and the legs is less than the preset opening distance, controlling the reminder device to work and send a reminder signal.

[0082] This method determines whether the glove box 2 can be safely opened by obtaining the leg position information of the passenger, calculating the distance between the glove box 2 and the leg when it is opened, and comparing it with a preset opening distance. The acquisition device is responsible for collecting the leg position information, the driving device is responsible for controlling the rotation of the glove box 2, and the reminder device emits a warning signal when the distance is insufficient. This solution realizes automatic opening by obtaining and calculating the leg position information, and avoids collision between the glove box 2 and the passenger's leg during the opening process, ensuring the safe use of the in-vehicle glove box 100.

[0083] The acquisition device can take various forms, such as infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, or cameras, etc., which can accurately obtain the leg position of the passenger. The reminder device can be in various forms such as sound reminder, light reminder, or vibration reminder, etc., to ensure that the passenger can timely notice the situation that the glove box 2 cannot be safely opened. The driving device can use an electric motor or a hydraulic device, etc., to achieve smooth rotation of the glove box 2.

[0084] Through this control method, the in-vehicle glove box 100 can effectively avoid collision with the passenger's leg during the opening process, improving the safety and intelligence of use. Compared with the prior art, the control method of this application can automatically judge the distance between the glove box 2 and the passenger's leg by introducing an acquisition device, a reminder device, and a driving device, and issue a reminder signal or stop the opening of the glove box 2 when necessary, greatly improving the use safety of the in-vehicle glove box 100.

[0085] The present invention also proposes a vehicle, which includes the in-vehicle glove box 100. The specific structure of the in-vehicle glove box 100 refers to the above-mentioned embodiments.
