Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, and in particular to a concealable and storable automobile glove box and a vehicle thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the automotive field, with the development of science and technology, people's requirements for car interiors are no longer limited to beauty and practicality. The requirements for user comfort during riding are also gradually increasing. Therefore, for modern automotive technology that has high functionality but cannot meet user comfort, various companies have gradually begun to innovate and transform in order to provide users with a better riding experience while ensuring functionality.

[0003] The co-pilot seat is the second most frequently used seat after the driver's seat, and its workmanship and comfort level in all aspects are comparable to those of the driver's seat. However, since the driver's seat needs to take into account the driver's comfort when controlling the vehicle, a large space is left in front of the driver's seat to ensure the driver's comfort. However, in order to make full use of the space, the co-pilot seat has been using the car glove box designed in the early days of automobiles to store items. This results in the user sitting in the co-pilot seat not having enough room to stretch their legs, especially when opening the glove box to take items. Since the glove box has to open forward, the legs need to be further stretched to leave enough opening space, which greatly reduces the user's comfort during the ride.

[0004] For example, the Chinese patent with publication number "CN208006861U" discloses a "glove box and a vehicle having the same", in which the glove box comprises: a box body, a chamber with an opening on one side is defined in the box body, and a mounting portion is provided on the box body; a switch device, the switch device is arranged on the mounting portion of the box body, and the switch device can cooperate with the interior structure of the vehicle to detachably mount the box body on the interior structure, but in actual application, the glove box can only be disassembled to increase the leg extension space for the user sitting in the front passenger seat, and frequent disassembly will also increase the risk of damage, and the disassembled glove box still occupies the space in the vehicle, and if things are stored in the glove box, the space cannot be well utilized, and it is inconvenient to take it if it is placed elsewhere in the vehicle after disassembly, and when the glove box is disassembled, it needs to be reloaded when items need to be stored later, which is not convenient for users to use conveniently. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the fact that the glove box in the prior art mentioned in the background art expands the user's leg stretching space in a detachable manner, but the disassembly and installation process is rather troublesome and does not save the space inside the whole vehicle. The present invention provides a hidden-type automotive glove box. By providing an outer plate and a slide rail card slot that are movably connected, the free sliding of the outer plate in the slide rail card slot is realized, and the "hidden" and "revealed" states of the storage box are adjusted according to actual needs. Moreover, the storage bag provided on the outer plate moves together with the outer plate, and the outer plate can be slid according to the amount of items stored in the storage bag to compress the redundant storage space in the storage bag, maximizing the space utilization rate of the storage bag and saving space to the greatest extent. Compared with the glove box storage space made of the existing plastic plate, the storage bag has better adaptability and can adjust the stretching area according to the shape and quantity of the stored items. Especially when storing a large number of items, the storage bag has better deformation ability to expand its own storage function.

[0006] The second object of the present invention is to save the stretching space of the user when opening the glove box by sliding the outer plate downward to open the access opening of the glove box, avoiding the problem of squeezing the co-pilot space again when opening the glove box in a pull-out manner in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A hidden car glove box, comprising a mounting seat, a glove box is arranged in the mounting seat, the glove box includes a slide rail, the slide rail is provided with a slide rail slot, the slide rail slot is movably connected with an outer plate, and the outer plate is connected with a storage bag. Through the movable connection between the slide rail slot and the outer plate, the outer plate can freely slide in the slide rail slot. The outer plate is connected with a storage bag, and during the sliding process of the outer plate, the storage bag can move together with the outer plate, thereby changing the size of the entire storage space and the position of the storage bag. When there are a small number of items or no items stored in the storage bag, the outer plate can slide to the uppermost end of the slide rail, thereby squeezing the storage space inside the storage bag and clearing all the redundant storage space, hiding the glove box, and converting the original storage space into a space for the user to stretch their legs. The slide rail can be connected by multiple sections of slide rails, and the slide rail slots with different track directions are built in. At this time, a deformable outer plate is required to adapt to different sliding directions. The slide rail can also be a straight rail or an arc rail with only one track direction. The straight rail is arranged vertically, and the size of the storage space is adjusted by sliding the outer plate up and down. The arc rail matches the shape of the outer plate and is concentric, ensuring that the arc-shaped outer plate can slide smoothly in the arc rail. In this way, the outer plate can be made of a plate-shaped material that does not need to be deformed. The storage bag is made of a flexible fabric, including but not limited to materials such as cloth, rubber, and nylon that have good elastic deformation and plasticity. This can ensure that the storage bag deforms during the movement of the outer plate. And because the storage bag has good deformation ability, compared with the prior art, it can better adapt to the shape of the stored object and can adapt to more irregular items in life, getting rid of the limitation of the shape and size of the stored items by the glove box made of plastic materials in the prior art. At the same time, due to the adoption of the storage bag structure that is easy to deform, the storage bag can not only reduce the storage space as the outer plate slides, but also produce elastic deformation when there are too many stored items, expanding the storage space.

[0009] Preferably, the slide rail includes a hidden rail, a working rail and a bending part. The bending part is the intersection of the hidden rail and the working rail, and the length of the working rail is h 1 , the width of the outer plate in the sliding direction of the slide rail slot is h 2 , the h 1 ≥h 2。The hidden rail and the working rail are arranged inside the slide rail. The hidden rail is arranged at the upper part of the mounting base and is generally horizontally arranged. The working rail is installed according to the shape of the mounting base and the sliding requirement of the outer panel to be achieved, and forms a "V" - shaped angle with the hidden rail. Slide rail slots are arranged in both the hidden rail and the working rail for clamping with the outer panel. A bending part is arranged between the hidden rail and the working rail, and a slide rail slot is also arranged inside the bending part, which smoothly connects the slide rail slots between the hidden rail and the working rail to ensure that the outer panel can slide between the hidden rail and the working rail. When there are no items or very few items in the storage bag, the entire outer panel is slid into the hidden rail, driving the storage bag upward, thus eliminating the original storage space and achieving the purpose of "hiding" the glove box. When storing items, the outer panel is pushed onto the working rail to restore the storage space of the glove box for storing items. The length of the working rail is greater than the width of the outer panel. If the width of the outer panel is too large, when the outer panel is fully unfolded, the upper end of the outer panel will be placed inside the hidden rail. In this case, if the outer panel is set as a non - compressible structure, there will be no access opening to take the items inside the glove box. If the outer panel is set as a compressible structure, it is also not convenient for users to compress the outer panel to expand the access opening.

[0010] Preferably, a number of elastic protrusions are provided on the outer panel, and grooves are provided on the slide rail slots. The elastic protrusions and the grooves are snap - connected. By setting grooves on the slide rail slots and snap - connecting them with a number of elastic protrusions on the outer panel, the fixation and sliding functions of the outer panel in the slide rail slots are ensured. The number of protrusions provided on the outer panel ensures that the outer panel can be fixed at any position on the slide rail slots according to user needs. The gaps between the protrusions are the same and should not be too wide to meet the user's requirement for infinitely adjusting the position of the outer panel. Uniformly arranged grooves are provided in the slide rail slots to enhance the fixing effect of the slide rail slots on the outer panel.

[0011] Preferably, a soft connection belt is provided between adjacent elastic protrusions. The soft connection belt provided between the elastic protrusions can achieve the bending deformation ability of the outer plate, adapt to different sliding trajectories, make the bending ability of the outer plate stronger, extend the service life of the outer plate. Due to the soft connection belt, the overall outer plate is a segmented structure, where the rigid support of each segment is composed of the outer plate and the elastic protrusions. Each segment is connected by a soft connection belt. At the same time, the soft connection belt also provides the outer plate with compression and restoration capabilities, and can further compress the outer plate to save more usage space. When taking an item, the outer plate can be directly compressed to expand the access opening, which is more convenient for the user to take the item. This avoids the problem that the user needs to pull out the glove box when taking an item, resulting in more space occupation. After taking the item in the glove box, the outer plate can be directly stretched. Or when all the items in the storage bag are taken away, the outer plate can be directly slid upward into the hidden track without stretching the outer plate to hide the storage space. And the compressed outer plate occupies a smaller area in the state of hiding the glove box; to achieve the compression and stretching of the outer plate through the soft connection belt, it is necessary to set the groove interval in the slide rail slot to be smaller than the interval between the elastic protrusions on the outer plate to obtain a better compression effect and ensure the fixing effect of the slide rail slot on the outer plate in the compressed state. This achieves the second invention purpose of the present invention; the outer plate can be set as a multi-segment separation type, so that on the basis of hiding the storage space, it is more convenient to take items. If it is an integral outer plate, the entire outer plate needs to be slid down to expose the access opening when taking an item, and then slid up again after taking it. The working stroke is large and more noise problems will occur. While the separated outer plate can, according to the storage size, only retain some separated outer plates on the working track. When taking an item, only the part of the outer plate on the working track needs to be slid up and down to achieve the opening and closing function of the glove box. At the same time, all the outer plates can be directly placed on the working track. When taking an item, only a part of the outer plate needs to be slid up to the hidden track to open the access opening. The separated outer plate makes the entire glove box have a more convenient function and more diverse functions. Among them, storage bags can be installed on each separated outer plate to meet the need for hierarchical storage of items in the glove box. Multiple storage bags are detachably connected to the outer plate, including but not limited to convenient detachable connection methods such as magnetic attraction and Velcro. When placing large items, all the storage bags except the bottom one are disassembled and connected to the bottom outer plate to form a large storage bag. And the connection of multiple storage bags to the bottom storage bag can increase the bearing capacity of the storage bag. At the same time, to ensure the firmness of the connection of each outer plate and avoid problems such as the outer plate being damaged or the items falling due to the inertial impact on the outer plate during braking when storing items, magnetic attraction devices are provided at both the upper and lower ends of each outer plate to increase the connection firmness.

[0012] Preferably, the storage bag includes a storage bottom surface, which includes a connecting portion connected to the bottom end of the outer plate, a fixing portion connected to the mounting seat, and a side connecting surface is provided between the storage bottom surface and the outer plate. The storage space inside the storage bag is formed by the storage bottom surface, the side connecting surface and the outer plate. Both the storage bottom surface and the side connecting surface are made of materials that can be flexibly deformed or elastically deformed. In this way, during the sliding process of the outer plate, the storage bottom surface and the side connecting surface can deform with the sliding without hindering the sliding of the outer plate. If the storage bottom surface and the side connecting surface with flexible deformation are designed in size, deformation allowance needs to be considered; at the same time, at the fixing portion where the storage bottom surface is connected to the mounting seat, due to the good deformation ability of the storage bag, there will be a situation of storing large-mass items. Therefore, generally, the fixed area of the fixing portion is set between 1 / 3 and 1 / 2 of the entire storage bottom surface. On the basis of ensuring sufficient storage space and deformation space generated with the sliding of the outer plate, the connection degree with the mounting seat is strengthened; a fixing device is provided between the storage bottom surface, the side connecting surface and the mounting seat. In this way, when the outer plate slides onto the hidden track to "hide" the glove box, the storage bottom surface, the side connecting surface and the mounting seat can be fixed through the fixing device, preventing the storage space inside the storage bag from not being re-squeezed, which affects the appearance and causes the user's leg to rub against the storage bag during the movement, thus affecting the stability of the entire glove box concept. The fixing device includes but is not limited to devices such as Velcro and magnetic attraction devices that are easy to disassemble and convenient to fix, and can also limit the outer plate to avoid the influence brought by vibration during vehicle operation.

[0013] Preferably, the side connecting surface is a corrugated structure. Since the side connecting surface often deforms, the corrugations are beneficial to avoiding the problem of tearing of the side connecting surface due to excessive pulling during the sliding process of the outer plate. The corrugations are set as regular patterns and processed and shaped to prevent the deformation from being too chaotic during the sliding process, resulting in interference with other parts of the glove box.

[0014] Preferably, a stop handle is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the outer plate. A stop handle is provided at the bottom of the outer plate, which is convenient for the user to operate during the process of sliding the outer plate up or down. Since the outer plate is deformable, operating the stop handle also avoids the deformation caused by uneven force on the outer plate due to the user directly pushing or pulling the outer plate, and also avoids the safety problems such as the user's hand hitting the mounting seat or getting stuck in the mounting gap during the process of pushing the outer plate to slide due to factors such as inertia and insufficient friction; when the stop handle slides into the hidden track too deeply when the outer plate slides to the hidden track, it will cause inconvenience for the user to operate again when pulling down again, providing a limiting function for the sliding of the outer plate in the hidden track.

[0015] Preferably, a magnetic plate is provided on the upper surface of the stop handle, and a magnetic switch that can be magnetically connected to the magnetic plate is provided on the mounting seat. The magnetic plate provided on the stop handle can be linked with the magnetic switch on the mounting seat. When the outer plate slides into the hidden rail, the stop handle abuts against the mounting seat, and the magnetic plate on the stop handle magnetically fits with the magnetic switch on the mounting seat to achieve the effect of fixing the outer plate. The magnetic switch can be set as a on-off electromagnet device, and the magnetic force generated by the magnetic fitting of the magnetic plate and the magnetic switch drives the electromagnet inside the magnetic switch to be energized and generate magnetic force, thereby increasing the fitting degree with the magnetic plate. The electromagnet device on the mounting seat can be linked with the magnetic connection between the storage bottom surface and the side connection surface. Through the large magnetic suction force of the electromagnet, the magnetic strips on the storage bottom surface and the side connection surface are directly adsorbed without manual operation, forming a complete "hidden" of the entire glove box. When it is necessary to pull down the outer plate, only need to operate the magnetic switch to cut off the power of the electromagnet. At this time, the adsorption force of the magnetic switch on the magnetic plate and between the storage bottom surface and the side connection surface disappears, and the outer plate can be smoothly pulled down to realize the storage function.

[0016] The present application also discloses a vehicle, including the above-mentioned retractable automotive glove box. A vehicle equipped with a retractable automotive glove box can better meet the requirements of modern people for riding comfort. Especially when the comfort of the seats is gradually improved nowadays, a vehicle equipped with a retractable automotive glove box can further improve the comfort of the leg space during the user's ride.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] (1) Through the slidability of the outer plate, the storage bag is driven to contract and recover, realizing the self-adaptability of the storage space, saving space and increasing the leg movement space;

[0019] (2) By setting the width of the outer plate to be smaller than that of the working rail and the compressibility of the outer plate, the function of the user to conveniently take items is realized, avoiding the problem of further squeezing the leg space when taking items in a pull-out manner;

[0020] (3) Through the deformability of the storage bag, various items can be stored without being limited to the shape and size, and the storage space can be expanded by using the deformability;

[0021] (4) Using the stop handle can facilitate the user to open and close the glove box and avoid safety problems at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manners

[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] As Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 5 show, a kind of retractable automotive glove box 2, including a mounting seat 1, a glove box 2 is arranged inside the mounting seat 1, the glove box 2 includes a slide rail 3, the slide rail 3 is provided with a slide rail slot 31, the slide rail slot 31 is movably connected with an outer panel 4, and the outer panel 4 is connected with a storage bag 5; the slide rail 3 includes a hidden rail 32, a working rail 33 and a bending point 34, the bending point 34 is the intersection of the hidden rail 32 and the working rail 33, and the length of the working rail 33 is h 1 , the width of the outer panel 4 in the sliding direction of the slide rail slot 31 is h 2 , h 1 ≥h 2 .

[0034] Through the movable connection between the slide rail slot 31 and the outer plate 4, the outer plate 4 can freely slide within the slide rail slot 31. The outer plate 4 is connected with a storage bag 5. During the sliding process of the outer plate 4, the storage bag 5 can move together with the outer plate 4, thereby changing the size of the entire storage space and the position of the storage bag 5. When there are few items or no items stored in the storage bag 5, the outer plate 4 can slide to the uppermost end of the slide rail 3, thus squeezing the storage space inside the storage bag 5 and clearing all the redundant storage space, hiding the glove box 2 and converting the original storage space into a space for the user to stretch their legs. The storage bag 5 is made of cloth, which can ensure deformation during the movement of the outer plate 4. And because the storage bag 5 has good deformation ability, it can better adapt to the shape of the stored object compared with the prior art, can adapt to more irregular items in life, and get rid of the limitation of the shape and size of the stored items by the glove box 2 made of plastic materials in the prior art. At the same time, due to the use of the easily deformable structure of the storage bag 5, the storage bag 5 can not only reduce the storage space as the outer plate 4 slides, but also produce elastic deformation to expand the storage space when there are too many stored items.

[0035] The hidden rail 32 and the working rail 33 are arranged in the slide rail 3. The hidden rail 32 is arranged at the upper part of the mounting seat 1 and is horizontally arranged, while the working rail 33 forms a "V" - shaped angle with the hidden rail 32. Slide rail slots 31 are arranged in both the hidden rail 32 and the working rail 33 for clamping connection with the outer plate 4. A bending part 34 is arranged between the hidden rail 32 and the working rail 33, and slide rail slots 31 are also arranged in the bending part 34, and the slide rail slots 31 between the hidden rail 32 and the working rail 33 are smoothly transition - connected, ensuring that the outer plate 4 can slide between the hidden rail 32 and the working rail 33. When there are no items or few items in the storage bag 5, the entire outer plate 4 is slid into the hidden rail 32, driving the storage bag 5 upward, eliminating the original storage space and achieving the purpose of "hiding" the glove box 2. When storing items, the outer plate 4 is pushed onto the working rail 33 to restore the storage space of the glove box for storing items. The length of the working rail 33 is greater than the width of the outer plate 4. If the width of the outer plate 4 is too large, when the outer plate 4 is fully unfolded, the upper end part of the outer plate 4 will be placed in the hidden rail 32. In this way, when the user opens the glove box, since there is no access opening for the outer plate 4 on the working rail 33, items cannot be quickly taken, affecting the user experience.

[0036] As Figure 3 、 4 shown, elastic protrusions 41 are provided on the outer plate 4, and grooves 311 are provided on the slide rail slots 31. The elastic protrusions 41 and the grooves 311 are snap - connected; a deformable and recoverable soft connection band 312 is arranged between adjacent elastic protrusions 41.

[0037] A groove 311 is provided on the slide rail slot 31, and the groove 311 is engaged with the elastic protrusion 41 on the outer plate 4, ensuring the fixing and sliding functions of the outer plate 4 within the slide rail slot 31. The protrusions provided on the outer plate 4 ensure that the outer plate 4 can be fixed at any position on the slide rail slot 31 according to user needs. The gaps between several protrusions are the same to meet the user's requirement for infinitely adjusting the position of the outer plate 4. Uniformly arranged grooves 311 are provided within the slide rail slot 31 to enhance the fixing effect of the slide rail slot 31 on the outer plate 4.

[0038] The soft connection belt 312 provided between the elastic protrusions 41 can achieve the bending deformation ability of the outer plate 4, adapt to different sliding trajectories, make the bending ability of the outer plate 4 stronger, and extend the service life of the outer plate 4. Due to the provision of the soft connection belt 312, the overall outer plate is a segmented structure. The rigid support of each segment is composed of the outer plate and the elastic protrusions. Each segment is connected by the soft connection belt 312. The soft connection belt 312 provides the compression and restoration ability for the outer plate 4, and can further compress the outer plate 4 to save more usage space. When taking items, the outer plate 4 can be directly compressed to expand the taking opening, which is more convenient for users to take items. This avoids the problem that users need to pull out the glove box 2 when taking items, resulting in occupying more space. After taking the items in the glove box 2, the outer plate 4 can be directly stretched. Or when all the items in the storage bag 5 are taken away, the outer plate 4 can be directly slid upward into the hidden rail 32 without stretching the outer plate 4 to hide the storage space. Moreover, the compressed outer plate 4 occupies a smaller area when hiding the glove box 2. To achieve the compression and stretching of the outer plate 4 through the soft connection belt 312, it is necessary to set the interval of the grooves 311 in the slide rail slot 31 to be smaller than the interval between the elastic protrusions 41 on the outer plate 4 to obtain a better compression effect and ensure the fixing effect of the slide rail slot 31 on the outer plate 4 in the compressed state.

[0039] As Figure 2 、 3 shown, the storage bag 5 includes a storage bottom surface 51. The storage bottom surface 51 includes a connection portion 511 connected to the bottom end of the outer plate 4, the storage bottom surface 51 includes a fixing portion 512 connected to the mounting seat 1, and a side connection surface 52 is provided between the storage bottom surface 51 and the outer plate 4; the side connection surface 52 is a corrugated structure.

[0040] The storage space inside the storage bag 5 is formed by the storage bottom surface 51, the side connection surface 52 and the outer plate 4. The storage bottom surface 51 and the side connection surface 52 can deform as they slide. At the same time, there is a fixing part 512 where the storage bottom surface 51 is connected to the mounting seat 1. Since the storage bag 5 has good deformation ability, there will be cases of storing large-mass items. Therefore, the fixed area of the fixing part 512 is generally set to 1 / 3 of the entire storage bottom surface 51. On the basis of ensuring sufficient storage space and deformation space generated by the sliding of the outer plate 4, the connection degree with the mounting seat 1 is strengthened; since the side connection surface 52 often deforms, the folds are beneficial to avoiding the problem of tearing of the side connection surface 52 due to excessive pulling during the sliding of the outer plate 4. The folds are set as regular patterns and are processed and shaped to prevent the deformation from being too chaotic during the sliding process, resulting in interference with other parts of the glove box 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, the assembly process of the retractable car glove box is as follows: In this embodiment, the glove box 2 is fixed on the mounting seat 1. The slide rails 3 provided inside the glove box 2 are respectively fixed to the left and right ends of the mounting seat 1. The slide rails 3 are divided into a hidden rail 32, a bending part 34 and a working rail 33. The hidden rail 32 is arranged on the upper part of the mounting seat 1. The working rail 33 is connected to the hidden rail 32 in a "V" shape. The bending part 34 is the connection part between the hidden rail 32 and the working rail 33. At the same time, slide rail slots 31 are provided on the hidden rail 32, the working rail 33 and the bending part 34. Grooves 311 are arranged inside the slide rail slots 31. The slide rail slots 31 are movably connected to the outer plate 4 to realize the free movement of the outer plate 4 on the slide rail 3. At the same time, the grooves 311 are engaged with the elastic protrusions 41 on the outer plate 4 to realize the semi-fixing function of the outer plate 4. Among them, the outer plate 4 is connected with a storage bag 5 made of cloth. One end of the storage bottom surface 51 of the storage bag 5 is connected to the bottom of the outer plate 4, and the other end is connected to the mounting seat 1. A side connection surface 52 is arranged between the storage bottom surface 51 and the outer plate 4. The side connection surface 52 is a folded structure, which is convenient for the storage bag 5 to deform during the sliding process of the outer plate 4. When storing items, the outer plate 4 is slid out from the hidden rail 32 to the working rail 33. At this time, a storage space is formed between the outer plate 4, the side connection surface 52 and the storage bottom surface 51. The width of the outer plate 4 is compressed by the soft connection belt 312 on the outer plate 4 to expand the access opening of the storage bag 5, which is convenient for storing and taking items, and avoids the problem of squeezing space when the glove box 2 is opened in a pull-out manner. When the storage is completed, the outer plate 4 can be adjusted according to the amount of stored items. If there are very few stored items, the outer plate 4 can be slid into the hidden rail 32 and the outer plate 4 can be compressed. The width of the outer plate 4 is reduced by the soft connection belt 312 to realize the "hiding" of the glove box 2 and expand the leg movement space of the user. Among them, the storage bag 5 can deform freely to adapt to items of different shapes, achieving the purpose of making full use of the storage space.

[0042] Embodiment 2:

[0043] As Figure 6 shown, different from Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the outer plate 4 is of a split type. The entire outer plate 4 is divided into four parts, namely the first outer plate 401, the second outer plate 402, the third outer plate 403, and the fourth outer plate 404. And the four outer plates 4 are respectively connected to different storage bags 5. When only a small amount of items are stored in the first outer plate 401 and the second outer plate 402, the third outer plate 403 and the fourth outer plate 404 can be pushed into the hidden track 32, and only the first outer plate 401 and the second outer plate 402 are left to work in the working track 33. At the same time, the first outer plate 401 and the second outer plate 402 are pushed to the position near the bending part 34 in the working track 33. In this way, on the basis of ensuring the storage function, space is saved, and when taking items, only the first outer plate 401 or the second outer plate 402 needs to be slid down to open the glove box 2. At the same time, hierarchical storage is carried out, with clear order and better purpose when taking items. Among them, the second outer plate 402, the third outer plate 403, and the fourth outer plate 404 are connected to their respective storage bags 5 through Velcro, and the storage bag of the fourth outer plate 404 is sleeved inside the storage bag of the third outer plate 403, and the storage bag of the third outer plate 403 is sleeved inside the storage bag of the second outer plate 402, and so on. The four storage bags are in a relationship of being sleeved layer by layer. The first outer plate 401 is connected to the storage bag 5 by sewing and gluing. In this way, when storing large items, the three storage bags 5 connected by Velcro are disassembled and adhered to the storage bag 5 connected to the first outer plate 401 to form a storage bag 5 with a larger storage space and stronger bearing capacity.

[0044] Embodiment 3:

[0045] As Figure 7 shown, different from Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, a stop handle 6 is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the outer plate 4; a magnetic plate 61 is provided on the upper surface of the stop handle 6, a magnetic switch 11 that can be magnetically connected to the magnetic plate 61 is provided on the mounting seat 1, and a magnetic strip 513 is provided on the storage bag 5. After the magnetic plate 61 is magnetically connected to the magnetic switch 11, the opening switch 11 of the magnetic switch 11 is pressed to be touched. After the magnetic switch 11 is powered on, the built-in electromagnet 113 generates strong magnetic force to adsorb the stop handle 6 and the storage bag 5 provided with the magnetic strip 513. During the driving of the vehicle, the strong magnetic force generated by the electromagnet 113 can better fix the outer plate 4 and the storage bag 5, avoiding the accidental sliding out of the outer plate 4 and the shaking of the storage bag 5 with the vehicle body affecting the beauty. At the same time, it is also more convenient for the design of the size of the storage bag 5. When hiding, there is no need to worry about problems such as the storage bag 5 being too large and drooping to affect the beauty; when the glove box 2 needs to be opened, the external closing switch 112 of the magnetic switch 11 is used to cut off the power supply of the electromagnet 113, the strong magnetic force disappears, and at the same time, the mechanical linkage opening switch 11 pops out, and the stop handle 6 is popped out of the slot, which is more convenient for the user to open the glove box 2.

[0046] Embodiment 4:

[0047] As Figure 8 shown, different from Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, an arc-shaped slide rail 3 is adopted. The arc rail matches the shape of the outer plate and is concentric, ensuring that the arc-shaped outer plate can slide smoothly within the arc rail. The outer plate 4 is also made of non-deformable plastic. The elastic protrusions 41 provided on the outer plate 4 are combined with the grooves 311. Since there is only one track direction for the slide rail 3, the outer plate 4 can slide through the elastic protrusions 41 and the grooves 311 without deformation, driving the storage bag 5 to realize the "hidden" function of the glove box 2. While ensuring the free transformation of the storage space, the structural strength of the outer plate 4 is enhanced. Since the shape of the outer plate is arc-shaped and it is an integral structure, and a material that is not easily deformed is used, it can resist the impact force generated by the inertial shaking of the items stored inside the glove box, and at the same time, it can also protect the items stored inside from being hit and squeezed by the user's legs. The outer plate has good self-structural strength and can improve the overall service life of the glove box 2.

[0048] Embodiment 5:

[0049] In this embodiment, a vehicle equipped with a retractable vehicle glove box is adopted. Setting a retractable vehicle glove box in the vehicle can facilitate the user in the co-pilot seat to better stretch the leg space and is more convenient to take items. With a seat with good comfort, a very good driving experience can be obtained without worrying about a series of problems such as waste of the vehicle interior space due to no items being stored in the glove box and having to bend the legs to give way when taking items. Moreover, according to different usage environments, the storage space of the glove box 2 can be expanded by using the deformation function of the storage bag 5, making the journey more comfortable and convenient.

[0050] In addition to the above embodiments, within the scope disclosed in the claims and the specification of the present invention, the technical features of the present invention can be reselected and combined to form new embodiments, which can be realized by those skilled in the art without creative labor. Therefore, these embodiments not detailedly described in the present invention should also be regarded as specific embodiments of the present invention and within the protection scope of the present invention.
