It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0037] To facilitate the explanation of the advantages of the folding curtain storage box in the embodiments of this application, the relevant content of the prior art is first summarized at the beginning of the detailed description of the technical solution of the embodiments of this application:

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a prior art roller shutter storage box. The prior art roller shutter storage box includes a storage box 6, two side plates 7 respectively disposed on both sides of the storage box 6, a roller shutter 8 slidably connected between the two side plates 7, and a retracting structure 9 for storing the roller shutter 8. The roller shutter 8 includes a plurality of blades 81 connected in sequence and arranged in parallel. When it is necessary to open the roller shutter 8, the roller shutter 8 is pushed to slide along the slide rail 71 provided in the side plate 7 to the limit position of the retracting structure 9 to complete the opening of the roller shutter storage box.

[0039] The existing roller shutter storage box has a large rolling structure 9, which occupies a lot of interior space and wastes a certain amount of usable interior space. In addition, the connection structure between the blades 81 in the existing roller shutter storage box is prone to jamming during the sliding process, resulting in a poor experience for drivers and passengers.

[0040] The above analysis shows that the existing roller blind storage box occupies a large space and the roller blind is prone to jamming when sliding. In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the folding curtain storage box of this application, by setting a folding curtain including blades that are rotatably connected in sequence, a side plate including a first guide rail and a second guide rail, and a storage box including a blade receiving area, can realize that the folding curtain can slide and fold smoothly when opening or closing, and the folding curtain occupies a small space after folding.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the folding curtain storage box provided in this application embodiment occupies less space and the folding curtain slides and folds smoothly. The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 An exploded view of a folding curtain storage box provided in an embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, the folding curtain storage box includes a side panel 1, a folding curtain 2, and a storage box 3.

[0043] The storage box 3 has side panels 1 on both sides, and a first guide rail 11 and a second guide rail 12 are provided on the side of the side panel 1 facing the storage box 3.

[0044] The folding curtain 2 is located on the opening side of the storage box 3. The folding curtain 2 includes a plurality of folding blades 21 that are rotatably connected in sequence. The two ends of a single folding blade 21 in the sliding direction are slidably connected to the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, respectively.

[0045] The storage box 3 is provided with a storage area 31 and a blade receiving area 32. Multiple folding blades 21 slide along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 and are folded and placed in the blade receiving area 32.

[0046] In one embodiment, the folding curtain storage box is located on the vehicle's secondary dashboard for storing small items; the folding curtain storage box includes a side panel 1, a folding curtain 2, and a storage box 3.

[0047] Furthermore, the storage box 3 is symmetrically provided with side panels 1 on both sides. The two side panels 1 are respectively provided with a first guide rail 11 and a second guide rail 12 on the side facing the storage box 3. The first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 provide tracks for the sliding and folding of the folding curtain 2. Specifically, the material of the side panels 1 can preferably be PA6 or POM.

[0048] Meanwhile, the folding curtain 2 is located on the opening side of the storage box 3. When the storage box does not need to be opened, the folding curtain 2 is used to cover the storage box 3. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the first state structure of the storage box where the folding curtain completely covers it, as provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0049] Furthermore, the folding curtain 2 includes multiple folding blades 21, which are arranged in parallel in sequence and adjacent folding blades 21 are rotatably connected. Specifically, the folding curtain 2 may include 10 folding blades 21 that are rotatably connected in sequence. The number of folding blades 21 in the folding curtain 2 depends on the actual situation and is not limited here.

[0050] Furthermore, each end of a single folding blade 21 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 in the sliding direction, respectively, to achieve the sliding folding of the folding blade 21 in the folding curtain 2; when the folding curtain storage box is in the first state where the folding curtain 2 completely covers the storage box 3, the 10 sequentially rotatably connected folding blades 21 can be arranged horizontally, and the folding curtain 2 is not folded. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 When the folding curtain storage box is in the second state where the folding curtain 2 partially covers the storage box 3, or in the third state where the folding curtain 2 does not completely cover the storage box 3, the folding blades 21 away from the storage box 3 slide and fold along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, realizing the partial folding of the folding curtain 2. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Compared with the roll-up structure of existing roller shutter storage boxes, the folded blades 21 occupy less space after folding.

[0051] Meanwhile, the storage box 3 is provided with a storage area 31 and a blade receiving area 32. The blade receiving area 32 is located on the lower side of the folding blades 21 away from the storage box 3, and is used to receive the folding blades 21 that are folded after sliding along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12.

[0052] The folding curtain storage box of this application is based on the principle of roller blinds and folding doors. By setting up a folding curtain including blades that are rotated and connected in sequence, a side plate including a first guide rail and a second guide rail, and a storage box including a blade receiving area, the folding curtain can slide smoothly when opening or closing, and the folding curtain and the folding curtain storage box occupy little space after folding.

[0053] In this embodiment, the end of the first guide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32 can be an S-shaped guide rail, and the second guide rail 12 can be a straight rail.

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a folding curtain structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a side plate provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0055] Furthermore, the end of the first guide rail 11 near the storage area 31 is a horizontal straight rail, and the end of the first guide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32 is an S-shaped rail. The horizontal straight rail at the end of the first guide rail 11 near the storage area 31 and the S-shaped rail at the end of the first guide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32 are smoothly connected.

[0056] Meanwhile, the second guide rail 12 is a horizontal straight rail.

[0057] Furthermore, the horizontal straight rail of the first guide rail 11 near the storage area 31 and the second guide rail 12 are parallel, so that the two ends of the folding blade 21 can slide horizontally along the horizontal straight rail of the first guide rail 11 near the storage area 31 and the horizontal straight rail of the second guide rail 12 near the storage area 31, respectively. Specifically, the horizontal straight rail of the first guide rail 11 near the storage area 31 can be set above the second guide rail 12. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 7 .

[0058] Meanwhile, the S-shaped slide rail of the first guide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32 extends smoothly from the upper side of the second guide rail 12 to the lower side of the second guide rail 12. The first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 smoothly intersect through the S-shaped slide rail of the first guide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32. This allows the two ends of the partially folded blade 21 to slide and fold along the S-shaped slide rail of the first guide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32 and the horizontal slide rail of the second guide rail 12 near the blade receiving area 32, respectively. After sliding and folding, the partially folded blade 21 is placed in the blade receiving area 32, and the storage box 3 is opened.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, the folding curtain storage box may also include multiple sets of mutually matched rotating shafts 4 and bushings 5, and the rotating shafts 4 and bushings 5 ​​may be disposed between adjacent folding blades 21.

[0060] The two ends of the rotating shaft 4 in the upward direction can be engaged with the first guide rail 11 or the second guide rail 12 respectively.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The folding curtain storage box includes multiple sets of matching rotating shafts 4 and bushings 5. The rotating shafts 4 and bushings 5 ​​are arranged between adjacent folding blades 21, and the rotating shafts 4 and bushings 5 ​​are respectively arranged at corresponding positions of different folding blades 21 in adjacent folding blades 21. The rotational connection of the rotating shafts 4 and bushings 5 ​​realizes the rotational connection of adjacent folding blades 21.

[0062] Furthermore, after the rotating shaft 4 and bushing 5 are rotatably assembled, both ends of the rotating shaft 4 protrude from the bushing 5 in the axial direction. The rotating shaft 4 protruding from the bushing 5 slides in the first guide rail 11 or the second guide rail 12, realizing the opening or closing of the folding curtain 2. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 9 .

[0063] For details, please refer to Figure 10The folding blade 21 includes a first folding blade 211, a second folding blade 212, a third folding blade 213, and a fourth folding blade 214. The first folding blade 211 and the second folding blade 212 are intermediate blades, and the third folding blade 213 and the fourth folding blade 214 are the first and last blades, respectively. The adjacent folding blades 21 connected in sequence are provided with a matching rotating shaft 4 and a bushing 5 as described above.

[0064] In this embodiment, two adjacent sets of matching rotating shafts 4 and bushings 5 ​​are arranged diagonally.

[0065] In one embodiment, see Figure 10 Each folding blade 21 has a rotating shaft 4 and a bushing 5 arranged diagonally along the side of its sliding direction at both ends to ensure sufficient folding space during folding. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 6 .

[0066] Specifically, the first folding blade 211 has a first rotating shaft 41 and a first bushing 51 at both ends along the sliding direction, and the first rotating shaft 41 and the first bushing 51 are arranged diagonally; the second folding blade 212 has a second rotating shaft 42 and a second bushing 52 at both ends along the sliding direction, and the second rotating shaft 42 and the second bushing 52 are arranged diagonally; the third folding blade 213 has a third rotating shaft 43 and a third bushing 53 at both ends along the sliding direction, and the third rotating shaft 43 and the third bushing 53 are arranged horizontally; the fourth folding blade 214 has a fourth rotating shaft 44 and a fifth rotating shaft 45 at both ends along the sliding direction, and the fourth rotating shaft 44 and the fifth rotating shaft 45 are arranged diagonally.

[0067] Multiple sets of matching rotating shafts 4 and bushings 5 ​​can realize the rotational connection of adjacent folding blades 21, and at the same time, can realize the sliding of folding blades 21 along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, so as to realize the smooth opening or closing of the folding curtain.

[0068] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5 can be clearance fit.

[0069] In one embodiment, the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5 are fitted with a clearance to achieve a smooth rotational connection between the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5, thereby preventing jamming when the folding curtain 2 is opened or closed, and making it easy to assemble.

[0070] In this embodiment of the application, the rotating shaft 4 may include an optical shaft 46; the bushing 5 may be provided with a C-shaped opening structure 54.

[0071] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10The rotating shaft 4 includes an optical shaft 46, and the bushing 5 is provided with a C-shaped opening structure 54; the optical shaft 46 and the C-shaped opening structure 54 can realize the snap-fit ​​between the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5, which is simple to assemble and easy to disassemble.

[0072] In one embodiment, the mating points of the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5 can each be provided with a reinforcing structure. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 A first reinforcing structure 47 is provided at the mating point between the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5, and a second reinforcing structure 55 is also provided at the mating point between the bushing 5 and the rotating shaft 4, in order to strengthen the structural strength of the mating point between the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5 and to prevent structural breakage at the mating point between the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5 during the snap-fit ​​assembly process.

[0073] In this embodiment, the side of the first folding blade 21 away from the storage box 3 may be provided with an operating structure 215.

[0074] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 An operating structure 215 is provided on the side of the first folding leaf 21 away from the storage box 3. The operating structure 215 is a protruding structure that is easy for the operator to hold. The manual push / pull operating structure 215 enables the easy opening or closing of the folding curtain 2.

[0075] Specifically, when the folding curtain storage box needs to be opened, the operator manually pushes / pulls the operating structure 215 in the direction of opening the folding curtain storage box. The operating structure 215 drives the first folding blade 21 to slide along the second guide rail 12. The other folding blades 21 slide along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 under the push of the first folding blade 21. Due to the limiting at the tail end of the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, some folding blades 21 are folded in the blade storage area 32 until the storage area 31 is fully opened, thus completing the opening of the folding curtain storage box.

[0076] When the folding curtain storage box needs to be closed, the operator manually pushes / pulls the operating structure 215 in the direction of closing the folding curtain storage box. The operating structure 215 drives the first folding blade 21 to slide along the second guide rail 12. The other folding blades 21 slide along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 under the pull of the first folding blade 21. Due to the limit at the beginning of the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, the sliding of the first folding blade 21 stops, thus completing the closing of the folding curtain storage box.

[0077] In another embodiment, an operating structure 215 is provided on the side of the first folding leaf 21 away from the storage box 3. The operating structure 215 is a recessed structure that is easy for the operator to hold. The manual push / pull operating structure 215 enables the easy opening or closing of the folding curtain 2.

[0078] In this embodiment, the folding curtain storage box may further include a drive mechanism and a transmission mechanism that is driven and connected to the drive mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is driven and connected to the first folding blade 21.

[0079] In one embodiment, the folding curtain storage box further includes a drive mechanism and a transmission mechanism driven by the drive mechanism, wherein the transmission mechanism is driven by the first folding blade 21; the drive mechanism drives the first folding blade 21 to move through the transmission mechanism, thereby realizing the electric opening or closing of the folding curtain 2.

[0080] Specifically, when the folding curtain storage box needs to be opened, the operator sends an open signal to the folding curtain storage box via the vehicle's central control screen or smart key. The vehicle's control system responds to the open signal and controls the drive mechanism to work. The drive mechanism drives the first folding blade 21 to move along the second guide rail 12 in the direction of opening the folding curtain storage box through the transmission mechanism. The other folding blades 21 slide along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 under the push of the first folding blade 21. Due to the limit at the tail end of the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, some folding blades 21 are folded into the blade storage area 32. When the vehicle's control system controls the drive mechanism to stop moving, the storage area 31 is fully opened, completing the opening of the folding curtain storage box. Electric operation is more convenient.

[0081] When the folding curtain storage box needs to be closed, the operator sends a closing signal to the folding curtain storage box via the vehicle's central control screen or smart key. The vehicle's control system responds to the opening signal of the folding curtain storage box and controls the drive mechanism to work. The drive mechanism drives the first folding blade 21 to move along the second guide rail 12 in the direction of closing the folding curtain storage box through the transmission mechanism. The other folding blades 21 slide along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 under the pull of the first folding blade 21 until the vehicle's control system controls the drive mechanism to stop moving, and the storage area 31 is completely closed, completing the closing of the folding curtain storage box. Electric operation is more convenient.

[0082] Meanwhile, the folding curtain storage box can also electrically close the folding curtain 2 in response to the vehicle's locking signal, which can better protect the owner's privacy and provide better vehicle security.

[0083] In this embodiment, the blade receiving area 32 can be an S-shaped receiving area.

[0084] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 11 The blade receiving area 32 is an S-shaped receiving area. When the folding curtain storage box is in the open state, the blade receiving area 32 is used to receive the folded blades 21.

[0085] In this embodiment, the side panel 1 and the storage box 3 can be detachably connected.

[0086] In one embodiment, the side panel 1 and the storage box 3 are fixedly connected by screws, which provides a stable connection, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and is low in cost.

[0087] The folding curtain storage box of this application is based on the principles of roller blinds and folding doors. It connects adjacent folding blades by setting a pivot and a rotating sleeve to achieve rotational connection between the folding blades and ensure smooth sliding of the folding curtain. By setting a first guide rail and a second guide rail on the side panel, the first guide rail includes a straight rail and an S-shaped rail to achieve sequential sliding folding of the folding blades. By setting a blade receiving area on the storage box, when the folding curtain storage box is in the open state, the blade receiving area is used to accommodate the folded folding blades. The folded curtain occupies little space, and the folding curtain storage box occupies little space.

[0088] Furthermore, this application also provides an automobile that includes the folding curtain storage box described above.

[0089] The vehicle in this embodiment includes a folding curtain storage box as described above. The folding curtain storage box connects adjacent folding blades by setting a pivot and a rotating sleeve, realizing the rotational connection between the folding blades and ensuring smooth sliding of the folding curtain. By setting a first guide rail and a second guide rail on the side panel, the first guide rail includes a straight rail and an S-shaped rail, realizing the sequential sliding folding of the folding blades. By setting a blade receiving area on the storage box, when the folding curtain storage box is in the open state, the blade receiving area is used to accommodate the folded folding blades. The folded curtain occupies little space, and the folding curtain storage box occupies little space.

[0090] The following describes specific embodiments of this application based on the above technical solution.

[0091] Example 1

[0092] Please refer to Figure 2-11 Example 1 provides a folding curtain storage box, which is installed on the passenger side dashboard of a car. The folding curtain storage box includes a side panel 1, a folding curtain 2, and a storage box 3.

[0093] The storage box 3 has symmetrical side panels 1 on both sides. The side panel 1 facing the storage box 3 has a first guide rail 11 and a second guide rail 12. The first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 provide tracks for the sliding and folding of the folding curtain 2. Specifically, the material of the side panel 1 can preferably be PA6 or POM.

[0094] Furthermore, the end of the first guide rail 11 near the storage area 31 is a horizontal straight rail, and the end of the first guide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32 is an S-shaped rail. The horizontal straight rail at the end of the first guide rail 11 near the storage area 31 and the S-shaped rail at the end of the first guide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32 are smoothly connected.

[0095] Meanwhile, the second guide rail 12 is a horizontal straight rail.

[0096] Furthermore, the horizontal straight rail of the first guide rail 11 near the storage area 31 and the second guide rail 12 are parallel, so that the two ends of the folding blade 21 can slide horizontally along the horizontal straight rail of the first guide rail 11 near the storage area 31 and the horizontal straight rail of the second guide rail 12 near the storage area 31, respectively. Specifically, the horizontal straight rail of the first guide rail 11 near the storage area 31 can be set on the upper side of the second guide rail 12. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 7 .

[0097] Meanwhile, the S-shaped slide rail of the first guide slide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32 extends smoothly from the upper side of the second guide slide rail 12 to the lower side of the second guide slide rail 12. The first guide slide rail 11 and the second guide slide rail 12 smoothly intersect through the S-shaped slide rail of the first guide slide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32, so that the two ends of the partially folded blade 21 slide and fold after sliding along the S-shaped slide rail of the first guide slide rail 11 near the blade receiving area 32 and the horizontal slide rail of the second guide slide rail 12 near the blade receiving area 32, respectively.

[0098] Meanwhile, the folding curtain 2 is located on the opening side of the storage box 3. When the storage box does not need to be opened, the folding curtain 2 is used to cover the storage box 3. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 The folding curtain 2 includes multiple folding blades 21 that are rotatably connected in sequence. Each folding blade 21 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 at both ends in the sliding direction.

[0099] Specifically, the folding curtain 2 includes 10 folding blades 21 that are rotatably connected in sequence.

[0100] Furthermore, each end of a single folding blade 21 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 in the sliding direction, respectively, to achieve the sliding folding of the folding blade 21 in the folding curtain 2; when the folding curtain storage box is in the first state where the folding curtain 2 completely covers the storage box 3, the 10 sequentially rotatably connected folding blades 21 can be arranged horizontally, and the folding curtain 2 is not folded. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 When the folding curtain storage box is in the second state where the folding curtain 2 partially covers the storage box 3, or in the third state where the folding curtain 2 does not completely cover the storage box 3, the folding blades 21 away from the storage box 3 slide and fold along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, realizing the partial folding of the folding curtain 2. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Compared with the roll-up structure of existing roller shutter storage boxes, the folded blades 21 occupy less space after folding.

[0101] Furthermore, the folding curtain includes multiple sets of mutually matching pivots 4 and bushings 5. The pivots 4 and bushings 5 ​​are positioned between adjacent folding blades 21, and are respectively positioned at corresponding positions on different folding blades 21 within the adjacent folding blades 21. The rotatable connection of the pivots 4 and bushings 5 ​​enables the rotatable connection of adjacent folding blades 21. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8 .

[0102] Furthermore, after the rotating shaft 4 and bushing 5 are rotatably assembled, both ends of the rotating shaft 4 protrude from the bushing 5 in the axial direction. The rotating shaft 4 protruding from the bushing 5 slides in the first guide rail 11 or the second guide rail 12, realizing the opening or closing of the folding curtain 2. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 9 .

[0103] Meanwhile, the folding blades 21 are symmetrically arranged at both ends near the two side plates 1. Each folding blade 21 has a rotating shaft 4 and / or a bushing 5 at both ends along the sliding direction near one of the side plates 1, allowing the folding blade 21 to slide within the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12. The rotating shafts 4 and / or bushings 5 ​​can be arranged diagonally or horizontally to ensure sufficient folding space for the folding blades 21 during folding. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 6 .

[0104] Specifically, the folding blade 21 includes a first folding blade 211, a second folding blade 212, a third folding blade 213, and a fourth folding blade 214. The first folding blade 211 and the second folding blade 212 are intermediate blades, and the third folding blade 213 and the fourth folding blade 214 are the first and last blades, respectively. Adjacent folding blades 21 in the sequentially rotatable folding blades 21 are provided with mutually matching rotating shafts 4 and bushings 5 ​​as described above. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 .

[0105] Furthermore, the first folding blade 211 has a first rotating shaft 41 and a first bushing 51 respectively at both ends along the sliding direction, and the first rotating shaft 41 and the first bushing 51 are arranged diagonally; the second folding blade 212 has a second rotating shaft 42 and a second bushing 52 respectively at both ends along the sliding direction, and the second rotating shaft 42 and the second bushing 52 are arranged diagonally; the third folding blade 213 has a third rotating shaft 43 and a third bushing 53 respectively at both ends along the sliding direction, and the third rotating shaft 43 and the third bushing 53 are arranged horizontally; the fourth folding blade 214 has a fourth rotating shaft 44 and a fifth rotating shaft 45 respectively at both ends along the sliding direction, and the fourth rotating shaft 44 and the fifth rotating shaft 45 are arranged diagonally.

[0106] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5 are fitted with a clearance to achieve a smooth rotational connection between the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5, so that there is less chance of jamming when the folding curtain 2 is opened or closed, and it is easy to assemble.

[0107] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 4 includes an optical shaft 46, and the bushing 5 has a C-shaped opening structure 54. The optical shaft 46 and the C-shaped opening structure 54 can achieve a snap-fit ​​connection between the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5, which is simple to assemble and easy to disassemble. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 .

[0108] Furthermore, the mating joints of the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5 can each be equipped with a reinforcing structure; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 A first reinforcing structure 47 is provided at the mating point between the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5, and a second reinforcing structure 55 is also provided at the mating point between the bushing 5 and the rotating shaft 4. These structures are used to strengthen the structural strength of the mating point between the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5 and to prevent structural breakage at the mating point between the rotating shaft 4 and the bushing 5 during the snap-fit ​​assembly process.

[0109] Furthermore, an operating structure 215 is provided on the side of the first folding leaf 21 away from the storage box 3. The operating structure 215 is a raised / recessed structure that is easy for the operator to hold. The manual push / pull operating structure 215 enables the folding curtain 2 to be opened or closed easily.

[0110] Meanwhile, the storage box 3 is provided with a storage area 31 and a blade receiving area 32. The blade receiving area 32 is located on the lower side of the folding blades 21 away from the storage box 3, and is used to receive the folding blades 21 that are folded after sliding along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12.

[0111] Furthermore, the blade receiving area 32 is an S-shaped receiving area. When the folding curtain storage box is in the open state, the blade receiving area 32 is used to accommodate the folded blades 21. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 11 .

[0112] Furthermore, the side panel 1 and the storage box 3 are fixedly connected by screws, which makes the connection stable, easy to assemble and disassemble, and low in cost.

[0113] The folding curtain storage box provided in Example 1 is opened or closed manually.

[0114] Specifically, when the folding curtain storage box needs to be opened, the operator manually pushes / pulls the operating structure 215 in the direction of opening the folding curtain storage box. The operating structure 215 drives the first folding blade 21 to slide along the second guide rail 12. The other folding blades 21 slide along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 under the push of the first folding blade 21. Due to the limiting at the tail end of the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, some folding blades 21 are folded in the blade storage area 32 until the storage area 31 is fully opened, thus completing the opening of the folding curtain storage box.

[0115] When the folding curtain storage box needs to be closed, the operator manually pushes / pulls the operating structure 215 in the direction of closing the folding curtain storage box. The operating structure 215 drives the first folding blade 21 to slide along the second guide rail 12. The other folding blades 21 slide along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 under the pull of the first folding blade 21. Due to the limit at the beginning of the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, the sliding of the first folding blade 21 stops, thus completing the closing of the folding curtain storage box.

[0116] The folding curtain storage box provided in Example 1 is based on the principles of roller blinds and folding doors. It connects adjacent folding blades by setting a pivot and a rotating sleeve to achieve rotational connection between the folding blades and ensure smooth sliding of the folding curtain. By setting a first guide rail and a second guide rail on the side panel, the first guide rail includes a straight rail and an S-shaped rail to achieve sequential sliding folding of the folding blades. By setting a blade receiving area on the storage box, when the folding curtain storage box is in the open state, the blade receiving area is used to accommodate the folded folding blades. The folded curtain occupies little space, and the folding curtain storage box occupies little space.

[0117] Example 2

[0118] The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the folding curtain storage box provided in Embodiment 2 is opened or closed electrically. The similarities with Embodiment 1 will not be repeated here. The differences between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 are explained below:

[0119] The folding curtain storage box also includes a drive mechanism and a transmission mechanism that is driven and connected to the drive mechanism. The transmission mechanism is connected to the first folding blade 21. The drive mechanism drives the first folding blade 21 to move through the transmission mechanism, which can realize the electric opening or closing of the folding curtain 2.

[0120] Specifically, when the folding curtain storage box needs to be opened, the operator sends an open signal to the folding curtain storage box via the vehicle's central control screen or smart key. The vehicle's control system responds to the open signal and controls the drive mechanism to work. The drive mechanism drives the first folding blade 21 to move along the second guide rail 12 in the direction of opening the folding curtain storage box through the transmission mechanism. The other folding blades 21 slide along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 under the push of the first folding blade 21. Due to the limit at the tail end of the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, some folding blades 21 are folded into the blade storage area 32. When the vehicle's control system controls the drive mechanism to stop moving, the storage area 31 is fully opened, completing the opening of the folding curtain storage box. Electric operation is more convenient.

[0121] When the folding curtain storage box needs to be closed, the operator sends a closing signal to the folding curtain storage box via the vehicle's central control screen or smart key. The vehicle's control system responds to the opening signal of the folding curtain storage box and controls the drive mechanism to work. The drive mechanism drives the first folding blade 21 to move along the second guide rail 12 in the direction of closing the folding curtain storage box through the transmission mechanism. The other folding blades 21 slide along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 under the pull of the first folding blade 21 until the vehicle's control system controls the drive mechanism to stop moving, and the storage area 31 is completely closed, completing the closing of the folding curtain storage box. Electric operation is more convenient.

[0122] Meanwhile, the folding curtain storage box can also electrically close the folding curtain 2 in response to the vehicle's locking signal, which can better protect the owner's privacy and provide better vehicle security.

[0123] The electric folding curtain storage box provided in Example 2 is based on the principles of roller blinds and folding doors. It connects adjacent folding blades via a pivot and a rotating sleeve, achieving rotational connection between the blades and ensuring smooth sliding of the folding curtain. A first guide rail and a second guide rail are provided on the side panel. The first guide rail includes a straight rail and an S-shaped rail, enabling sequential sliding folding of the blades. A blade-accommodating area is provided on the storage box. When the folding curtain storage box is open, the blade-accommodating area accommodates the folded blades, resulting in a small space occupied by both the folded curtain and the storage box. A drive mechanism indirectly drives the movement of the first folding blade, enabling the electric opening and closing of the folding curtain, making electric operation more convenient.

[0124] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
