DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described in conjunction with the following examples.

[0021] For a specific implementation of the lighting switch mechanism of a car storage box of the present invention, please see Figure 1 , storage box assembly, the storage box assembly includes a box body 1 and side panels 2 that can be detachably installed on both sides of the box body 1. The specific detachable method can be fixed with screws. In this embodiment, the storage box is a roller shutter storage box, and the sliding cover 3 provided on the box body 1 is a roller shutter.

[0022] As an improvement, the switch mechanism includes a slide cover 3, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a slide plate 4 is provided below either side of the bottom surface of the slide cover 3. It should be noted that, since this embodiment is a roller shutter storage box, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner side of the side plate 2 extends a surrounding portion 91 toward the box body 1, and the side plate 2, the surrounding portion 91 and the slide plate 4 together form a slide groove 9 for accommodating the slide cover 3. In fact, the slide plate 4 is only a side wall of the slide groove 9. In this embodiment, the slide plate 4 is integrally formed with the side plate 2, and can also be fixedly connected to the box body 1. The specific selection can be made according to actual production needs. For a flip-top storage box, there is no need to set the surrounding portion 91, and only the slide plate 4 is required.

[0023] In this embodiment, the slide plate 4 is provided with a limit hole 41. A rotating member 5 is provided below the slide plate 4, and the rotating member 5 is provided with a torsion spring 6 for driving the rotating member 5 to rotate. The rotating member 5 extends a first rotating arm 51 inserted into the limit hole 41 toward the limit hole 41, and a contact switch 7 with a button is provided on the side of the rotating member 5. The rotating member 5 extends a second rotating arm 52 located above the button toward the contact switch 7. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the contact switch 7 is a normally open switch, and therefore, in the closed state, the second rotating arm 52 is located above the button so as not to trigger the button. Of course, the contact switch 7 can also adopt a normally closed switch. When the button of the normally closed contact switch 7 is in a pressed state, the circuit is broken. In the closed state, the second rotating arm 52 presses against the button to achieve a short circuit. When the rotating part 5 rotates, the second rotating arm 52 disengages from the button or moves a certain distance, and the button pops up to turn on the lighting circuit. Therefore, the selection of normally open contact switch 7 or normally closed contact switch 7, the selection of torsion spring 6 to drive the rotating part 5 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and whether the rotating contact switch 7 is installed on the left or right side of the rotating part 5 can all be selected according to actual needs.

[0024] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the sliding cover 3 extends toward the slide plate 4 to form a push block 31 that can abut against the first rotating arm 51. In the closed state, the push block 31 abuts against the end of the first rotating arm 51, restricting the rotation of the rotating member 5 and the second rotating arm 52 being located above the button. When the cover is opened, the sliding cover 3 drives the push block 31 to break away from the contact with the first rotating arm 51, and the torsion spring 6 drives the rotating member 5 to rotate clockwise, and drives the second rotating arm 52 to rotate the button that triggers the contact switch 7. Compared with the prior art, the switch mechanism of this embodiment is reasonably designed, simple and compact in structure, easy to operate, and can realize the function of turning on the lighting when the storage box is opened.

[0025] In this embodiment, the inner side of the side plate 2 extends a mounting post 8 toward the box body 1, the rotating member 5 is annular and sleeved on the mounting post 8, and the outer peripheral side of the mounting post 8 is provided with at least two claws 81 arranged at intervals and fixed to the side plate 2, and the claws 81 are provided with hooks for hooking the rotating member 5. This rotatable structure is convenient for disassembly and assembly, easy for maintenance, and has a simple and compact structure.

[0026] In this embodiment, the torsion spring 6 is arranged between the mounting column 8 and the rotating member 5, one of the working ends of the torsion spring 6 is clamped on the mounting column 8, and the other working end of the torsion spring 6 is against the upper end surface of the second rotating arm 52 to drive the rotating member 5 to rotate clockwise. The installation can be performed specifically according to the direction in which the rotating member 5 needs to rotate.

[0027] In this embodiment, the contact switch 7 is further provided with an electric contact piece hinged to the body of the contact switch 7 .

[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and cannot be used as a limitation on the structure of the present invention. Through this embodiment, ordinary technicians can obtain technical methods with equivalent use effects through simple modifications or equivalent replacements, which should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
