Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a glove box. Background Art

[0002] Generally, a glove box of a vehicle is installed on a dashboard located in front of a driver's seat and a passenger seat to be opened or closed, and provides a storage space in which simple items can be stored to improve the convenience of occupants (drivers, passengers, users, etc.).

[0003] This glove box is generally divided into a rotating type with a hinge axis, a sliding type and a cover type.

[0004] In the rotary glove box according to the related art, as the depth of the housing increases, the rear upper edge of the housing may collide with the inner upper surface of the instrument panel, leaving no choice but to create an unused and misused space inside.

[0005] In the sliding glove box according to the related art, since all the unused and misused space inside can be used, the glove box may be caught on the passenger's knees due to the structure whenever the shell is pulled out, so the pulling out amount should be limited.

[0006] In the lid type glove box according to the related art, since the glove box is opened or closed in a state in which the housing itself is fixed, it may be inconvenient to insert or remove items into or from the housing.

[0007] As a result, since various types of glove boxes according to the related art each have some disadvantages according to the type, a new structure that can compensate for the existing disadvantages is being sought. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present disclosure aims to provide a glove box that can maximize storage space and improve convenience in use through various operating mechanisms.

[0051] The advantages and features of the present disclosure and the methods for achieving these advantages and features will become apparent with reference to the embodiments described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described below, but will be implemented in various forms, and the present embodiment only makes the disclosure of the present disclosure complete, is provided to fully inform the technical personnel of the field to which the present disclosure belongs of the scope of the present disclosure, and is limited by the description of the appended claims. At the same time, the terms used in this specification are intended to describe the embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. In this specification, unless specifically mentioned in the phrase, the singular form also includes the plural form. In addition to the above-mentioned parts, steps, operations and / or elements, the terms "including" or "comprising" used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other parts, steps, operations and / or elements. In this specification, the term "and / or" includes any one or all possible combinations of the listed items.

[0052] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] First embodiment

[0054] Figures 1 to 5 A glove box according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated.

[0055] refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the glove box 1000 can be accommodated in the dashboard in the direction of the passenger seat.

[0056] The glove box 1000 includes a cover 1100 , a housing 1200 , a transmission link 1300 , a locking member 1400 , and an elastic member 1500 .

[0057] With its front surface open, cover 1100 creates a clear space in the vehicle's dashboard. Specifically, the upper surface, both side surfaces, and rear surface of cover 1100 are sealed. In this case, sidewalls 1110 are provided on both sides of cover 1100, forming wall surfaces. Arched guide holes 1111 are formed in sidewalls 1110.

[0058] The housing 1200 is located in the clear space of the cover 1100 with one of its open surfaces covered and has a storage space therein. The housing 1200 selectively opens or closes the open front surface of the cover 1100 via a predetermined conveying path. Here, the predetermined conveying path refers to the conveying path along which the housing 1200 rotates along the guide hole 1111 formed in the side wall 1110 of the cover 1100.

[0059] The conveying link 1300 is disposed between both outer ends of the housing 1200 and both inner ends of the cover 1100 and provides a conveying track of the housing 1200 .

[0060] The conveying links 1300 are arranged at both ends of the housing 1200 .

[0061] The transfer link 1300 includes a first link part 1310 and a second link part 1320 .

[0062] One ends (support points) of the first and second link parts 1310 and 1320 are rotatably connected to the inner lower portion of the cover 1100. The other ends of the first and second link parts 1310 and 1320 are rotatably connected to the outer upper portion of the housing 1200.

[0063] The first link part 1310 and the second link part 1320 are spaced apart from each other, and one end of the first link part 1310 and one end of the second link part 1320 have a structure in which the one ends can rotate in parallel at the same level. The other ends of the first link part 1310 and the other ends of the second link part 1320 have different angles, even though the first connecting rod 1311 and the second connecting rod 1321 to be described below have the same length and therefore have a structure in which the other ends can rotate non-parallel to each other.

[0064] Here, the first link part 1310 and the second link part 1320 have different installation angles, and thus it is possible to adjust the opening rotation angle of the housing 1200. Therefore, objects can be easily stored and taken out.

[0065] Furthermore, the supporting points of the first link part 1310 and the second link part 1320 are provided at the lower end of the cover 1100 and the locking member 1400 is provided at the upper end of the cover 1100 , so the stability 1200 of the housing in the locked state is improved.

[0066] The first link part 1310 includes a first connecting rod 1311 , a first hinge shaft 1312 , a first movable shaft 1313 and a link fixing protrusion 1314 .

[0067] The first connection rod 1311 is formed in a linear rod shape.

[0068] The first hinge shaft 1312 connects one end of the first connecting rod 1311 and an inner lower portion of the cover 1100 .

[0069] The first movable shaft 1313 connects the other end of the first connecting rod 1311 and the outer upper portion of the housing 1200 .

[0070] The second link part 1320 includes a second connecting rod 1321 , a second hinge shaft 1322 , a second movable shaft 1323 and a guide protrusion 1324 .

[0071] The second connecting rod 1321 is installed and rotated at a different angle from the first connecting rod 1311. For example, the installation angle α of the first connecting rod 1311 is different from the installation angle β of the second connecting rod 1321, and the linear length L1 of the first connecting rod 1311 and the linear length L2 of the second connecting rod 1321 can be the same or different.

[0072] The conveying link 1300 in this case can utilize the unused and misused space at the rear as an effective space, effectively controlling the opening rotation angle γ of the housing 1200, thereby maximizing the convenience of storing and / or taking out items.

[0073] The second connecting rod 1321 has a central portion extending rearward between both ends in the longitudinal direction thereof. A guide protrusion 1324 protrudes from such a central portion. The guide protrusion 1324 is slidably coupled to a guide hole 1111 formed in the side wall 1110 of the cover 1100.

[0074] The second hinge shaft 1322 is disposed parallel to the first hinge shaft 1312 at the same level while being spaced apart from the first hinge shaft 1312. The second hinge shaft 1322 connects one end of the second connection bar 1321 and the inner lower portion of the cover 1100.

[0075] The second movable shaft 1323 connects the other end of the second connecting rod 1321 and the outer upper portion of the housing 1200 .

[0076] The locking member 1400 is connected between the cover 1100 and the housing 1200 for selectively locking or unlocking the housing 1200 to or from the cover 1100 .

[0077] The elastic member 1500 has a structure for correcting the rotational force of the conveying link 1300 .

[0078] For example, the elastic member 1500 may be formed as a torsion spring and have a structure in which one end thereof is coupled to the conveying link 1300 and the other end thereof is coupled to the cover 1100 .

[0079] One end of the elastic member 1500 is coupled to a cover fixing protrusion 1112 protruding from the inner side of the sidewall 1110 of the cover 1100. That is, the cover fixing protrusion 1112 protrudes from one surface of the cover 1100 in a direction in which the conveying link 1300 is provided.

[0080] The other end of the elastic member 1500 is coupled to a link fixing protrusion 1314 protruding from a central portion of the first link 1311. Here, the link fixing protrusion 1314 protrudes from one surface of the first link 1311 in a direction in which the cover 1100 is disposed.

[0081] When the housing 1200 in the open state is rotated to enter the closed state, the elastic member 1500 may allow the occupant to easily rotate the housing 1200 with a small force using elastic force.

[0082] When the link fixing protrusion 1314 is located above the virtual line 1510 connecting the first hinge shaft 1312 and the cover fixing protrusion 1112 , elastic force is generated between one end and the other end of the elastic member 1500 moving away from each other when the housing 1200 is closed.

[0083] In contrast, when the link fixing protrusion 1314 is located below the virtual line 1510 connecting the first hinge shaft 1312 and the cover fixing protrusion 1112 , elastic force approaching each other is generated between one end and the other end of the elastic member 1500 when the housing 1200 is opened.

[0084] Therefore, the elastic member 1500 may allow the occupant to easily open or close the housing 1200 from the cover 1100 .

[0085] When the housing 1200 is opened, the distance between the link fixing protrusion 1314 and the virtual line 1510 is relatively smaller than when the housing 1200 is closed.

[0086] For example, when the occupant closes the housing 1200 in the open state, the housing 1200 is lifted a short distance between the link fixing protrusion 1314 and the virtual line 1510. Therefore, the link fixing protrusion 1314 moves to the upper part of the virtual line 1510, and due to the elastic force of the elastic member 1500, the housing 1200 semi-automatically closes the lid 1100.

[0087] In contrast, when the occupant opens the housing 1200 in the closed state, the link fixing protrusion 1314 moves to the lower portion of the virtual line 1510 , and the housing 1200 safely opens the lid 1100 because the rotational force is attenuated by the elastic member 1500 .

[0088] At the same time, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in the description of the operating mechanism of the glove box 1000 , the glove box 1000 has a structure in which the housing 1200 moves linearly and rotationally to open or close the lid 1100 .

[0089] The housing 1200 has a trajectory in which the housing 1200 rotates and is transferred along the guide hole 1111 relative to the first hinge shaft 1312 and the second hinge shaft 1322 of the transfer link 1300 .

[0090] In this case, the first movable shaft 1313 and the second movable shaft 1323 are rotatably connected to both ends of the housing 1200 .

[0091] When the installation angle α of the first connecting rod 1311 is different from the installation angle β of the second connecting rod 1321, and the linear length L1 of the first connecting rod 1311 is the same as or different from the linear length L2 of the second connecting rod 1321, the glove box 1000 can effectively control the opening rotation angle γ of the shell 1200 to maximize the convenience of storing and / or taking out items.

[0092] That is, since the opening rotation angle γ of the housing 1200 varies according to the installation angles α and β and the linear lengths L1 and L2 of the first and second connecting rods 1311 and 1321, the required opening rotation angle γ can be controlled when corresponding conditions are differently applied according to each case.

[0093] According to such changes in conditions, the glove box 1000 may adjust the protruding length L3 of the housing 1200. For example, when the installation angle β of the second connecting rod 1321 is greater than the installation angle α of the first connecting rod 1311, the opening rotation angle γ of the housing 1200 may increase.

[0094] As the installation angles α and β of the first and second connecting rods 1311 and 1321 increase regardless of the relative angular sizes, the opening rotation angle γ of the housing 120 increases.

[0095] Therefore, increasing the installation angles α and β of first and second connecting rods 1311, 1321 can prevent the passenger's knees from being pinched when seated, while also widening the storage access area. However, if the storage space is physically tilted downward and housing 1200 is opened, the items stored in housing 1200 may immediately scatter, so a separate action should be performed. A second embodiment, one of these actions, will be described.

[0096] Second embodiment

[0097] Figures 6 to 10 A glove box according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated.

[0098] refer to Figures 6 to 10 , the glove box 2000 in the second embodiment has an operating mechanism under conditions different from those of the glove box 1000 .

[0099] In particular, the glove box 2000 in the second embodiment has a horizontal angle opening structure in which the housing 2200 converges to 0 degrees without being rotated downward.

[0100] In the corresponding embodiment, the repeated configuration with the glove box 1000 will be omitted, and the differences will be mainly described. However, for the convenience of description, the repeated configuration may be described.

[0101] The first connecting rod 2311 and the second connecting rod 2321 are installed and rotated with the same length and the same angle.

[0102] For example, when the installation angle α' of the first connecting rod 2311 and the installation angle β' of the second connecting rod 2321 are the same, and when the linear length L1' of the first connecting rod 2311 and the linear length L2' of the second connecting rod 2321 are the same, the glove box 2000 has a structure that can utilize the rear unused and misused space as an effective space, and the shell 2200 is opened by descending forward at a horizontal angle (in the direction of the occupant) without vertical rotation.

[0103] Here, the glove box 2000 has a structure in which, since the housing 2200 protrudes horizontally by a predetermined length L4 without being rotated, when the passenger opens the housing 2200 when taking out items from the storage space, items are prevented from being scattered downward.

[0104] The housing 2200 improves support stability by disposing a support point of the conveying link 2300 at the lower end of the cover 2100 and disposing the locking member 2400 between the locking member 2400 and the cover 2100 at the upper end.

[0105] At the same time, if Figures 8 to 10 As shown in the description of the operating mechanism of the glove box 2000, in the glove box 2000, since the first connecting rod 2311 and the second connecting rod 2321 of the first link part 2310 and the second link part 2320 have the same installation angle and the same length, the storage space of the housing 2200 can be opened or closed in the horizontal direction.

[0106] The housing 2200 has a trajectory in which the housing 2200 rotates and is transferred along the guide hole 2111 relative to the first hinge shaft 2312 and the second hinge shaft 2322 of the transfer link 2300 .

[0107] The first movable shaft 2313 and the second movable shaft 2323 are rotatably connected to both ends of the housing 2200 and are located at the same height, so that one end of the housing 2200 does not tilt downward even if rotated.

[0108] That is, when rotating along the guide hole 2111, the housing 2200 is lowered forward from the initial position to the open position but does not tilt downward and remains horizontal. In other words, the glove box 2000 has a structural mechanism in which the housing 2200 opens horizontally, thereby preventing the storage space from tilting downward.

[0109] In this case, the installation angle α′ of the first connecting rod 2311 and the installation angle β′ of the second connecting rod 2321 are the same, and the linear length L1 ′ of the first connecting rod 2311 and the linear length L2 ′ of the second connecting rod 2321 may be the same.

[0110] In this case, the glove box 2000 may have a structure in which the storage space is effectively opened without the housing 2200 being rotated open, thereby maximizing the convenience of storing and / or taking out items.

[0111] As a result, since the first connecting rod 2311 and the second connecting rod 2321 installed between the housing 2200 and the cover 2100 have the same angle and the same length, the housing 2200 may be opened horizontally / vertically without being rotated downward when opened.

[0112] Therefore, the glove box 2000 minimizes the protruding length L4 of the housing 2200 to prevent the passenger's knees from being pinched in the seated state.

[0113] Third embodiment

[0114] Figures 11 to 16 A glove box according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated.

[0115] refer to Figures 11 to 16 In the glove box 3000 according to the third embodiment, in order to maximize the opening of the housing 3200 , the first connecting rod 3311 and the second connecting rod 3321 of the transmission link 3300 have a relatively long linear rod shape.

[0116] In detail, the upper surface, both side surfaces and rear surface of the cover 3100 are sealed. In this case, both sides of the cover 3100 are provided with side walls 3110 forming wall surfaces. Arched guide holes 3111 are formed in the side walls 3110.

[0117] The conveying link 3300 is disposed between both outer ends of the housing 3200 and both inner ends of the cover 3100 and provides a conveying track of the housing 3200. The conveying link 3300 is disposed at both ends of the housing 3200.

[0118] The transmission link 3300 includes a first link part 3310 and a second link part 3320 .

[0119] One ends of the first link part 3310 and the second link part 3320 are rotatably connected to an inner upper portion of the cover 3100 .

[0120] The other ends of the first link part 3310 and the second link part 3320 are rotatably connected to the outer upper portion of the housing 3200 .

[0121] The first link part 3310 and the second link part 3320 are positioned to be spaced apart from each other.

[0122] One end of the first link part 3310 and one end of the second link part 3320 have a structure in which the one ends can rotate in parallel at the same level.

[0123] In this case, the first link part 3310 and the second link part 3320 have different installation angles, and thus it is possible to adjust the opening rotation angle of the housing 3200. Therefore, objects can be easily stored and taken out.

[0124] In addition, the supporting points of the first link part 3310 and the second link part 3320 are arranged at the upper end of the cover 3100, and the locking member 3400 is provided in a horizontal position.

[0125] The first link part 3310 includes a first connecting rod 3311 , a first hinge shaft 3312 , a first movable shaft 3313 and a guide protrusion 3314 .

[0126] The first connection rod 3311 is formed in a linear rod shape.

[0127] The first hinge shaft 3312 connects one end of the first connecting rod 3311 and an inner upper portion of the cover 3100 .

[0128] The first movable shaft 3313 connects the other end of the first connecting rod 3311 and the outer lower portion of the housing 3200 .

[0129] A guide protrusion 3324 is formed in a central portion of the first connecting rod 3311 .

[0130] Here, the guide protrusion 3324 is connected to the first connecting rod 3311, which is different from the above embodiment. The guide protrusion 3324 is exposed while being connected to the guide hole 3111 and assists the rotation of the first connecting rod 3311.

[0131] The second link part 3320 includes a second connecting rod 3321 , a second hinge axis 3322 and a second movable axis 3323 .

[0132] The second connecting rod 3321 has one end connected to the upper supporting point of the cover 3100 through a second hinge shaft 3322 .

[0133] The lower end of the second connecting rod 3321 is rotatably connected to the side surface of the lower end of the housing 3200 through a second movable shaft 3323 .

[0134] The installation angle of the first connecting rod 3311 is different from the installation angle of the second connecting rod 3321 , and the linear length of the first connecting rod 3311 is different from the linear length of the second connecting rod 3321 .

[0135] Basically, since the installation angle of the first connecting rod 3311 and the second connecting rod 3321 is within the acute angle range exceeding about 45 degrees and the linear length thereof is greater than that of the above embodiment, the opening rotation angle of the housing 3200 can be greater than that of the above embodiment.

[0136] In addition, the first connecting rod 3311 and the second connecting rod 3321 are different from the above-mentioned embodiments in that their support points are not located at the lower end of the side surface, but at the upper end of the side surface of the cover 3100, and the shell 3200 is transmitted within the range of the guide hole 3111.

[0137] That is, when the guide protrusion 3314 of the first connecting rod 3311 moves from the starting point of the guide hole 3111 when the shell 3200 is closed to the end point of the guide hole 3111 when the shell 3200 is opened, the installation angle of the first connecting rod 3311 and the second connecting rod 3321 can be changed.

[0138] For example, when the first connecting rod 3311 and the second connecting rod 3321 maintain a flat installation angle until a certain point and then reach the end point of the guide hole 3111 on the guide protrusion 3314, the installation angle of the first connecting rod 3311 and the second connecting rod 3321 can be changed to a different installation angle, while the opening rotation angle of the shell 3200 increases sharply.

[0139] Even in this case, the glove box 3000 can effectively control the opening rotation angle of the housing 3200 to maximize the convenience of storing and / or taking out items.

[0140] The second hinge shaft 3322 is disposed parallel to the first hinge shaft 3312 while being spaced apart from the first hinge shaft 3312 and connects one end of the second connection rod 3321 and an inner upper portion of the cover 3100 .

[0141] The second movable shaft 3323 connects the other end of the second connecting rod 3321 and the outer lower portion of the housing 3200 while being spaced apart from the first movable shaft 3313 .

[0142] The glove box 3000 may additionally include an opening / closing assisting part 3330 that guides the rotation of the first link part 3310 .

[0143] The opening / closing assisting part 3330 corrects the rotational force of the transmission link 3300 to help smoothly open or close the housing 3200 .

[0144] For example, the opening / closing assisting part 3330 attenuates the opening rotational force of the housing 3200 and amplifies the closing rotational force of the housing 3200 .

[0145] That is, when the housing 3200 is opened, the opening speed increases rapidly in the downward direction, and the items in the storage space may be scattered. Therefore, the opening / closing auxiliary part 3330 attenuates the opening rotation force of the housing 3200.

[0146] Therefore, the opening / closing assisting part 3330 prevents items in the storage space of the housing 3200 from scattering downward.

[0147] In addition, when the housing 3200 is closed, the opening / closing auxiliary part 3330 helps transmit the rotational force of the link 3300 so that the housing 3200 moves smoothly to the initial position.

[0148] To this end, the opening / closing auxiliary part 3330 includes a housing 3331 , a cam 3332 , a support rod 3333 and a spring 3334 .

[0149] The housing 3331 has an accommodation space therein and is positioned on the sidewall 3110 of the cover 3100 in a state of being inclined toward the center of the guide hole 3111 .

[0150] Further, the housing 3331 is provided with a connection bracket 3331 a protruding from an outer surface thereof and fixed to the side wall 3110 of the cover 3100 by bolt connection.

[0151] The cam 3332 is rotatably positioned in the accommodation space of the housing 3331. A cam protrusion 3332a protrudes from the outer surface of the cam 3332. Here, the cam protrusion 3332a has an inverted triangle shape and has a chamfered structure with a gentle apex.

[0152] The cam 3332 is formed substantially in a circular shape. A cam hole 3332b is formed at the center point of the cam 3332. The first hinge shaft 3312 connected to the first shaft hole 3312a of the first connecting rod 3311 may be fastened to the cam hole 3332b.

[0153] Therefore, the cam 3332 may rotate in the same direction and at the same speed as the first hinge shaft 3312 along with the rotation of the first hinge shaft 3312 .

[0154] The support rod 3333 vertically reciprocates inside the housing 3331 according to the rotation of the cam 3332 while being in contact with the cam protrusion 3332 a .

[0155] The support rod 3333 may have one end in contact with the upper inner surface of the housing 3331 and the other end located between the lower bottom surface of the housing 3331 and the support rod 3333 .

[0156] The support rod 3333 has an inclined surface 3333 a and a spring hole 3333 b.

[0157] The inclined surface 3333 a is inclined in one direction from the upper surface of the support rod 3333 .

[0158] According to the rotation of the cam 3332 provided on the inclined surface, the inclined surface 3333 a contacts the cam protrusion 3332 a , thereby guiding the movement of the support rod 3333 , so that the support rod 3333 moves inside the housing 3331 in a sliding manner.

[0159] In detail, such as Figure 12 As shown, the inclined surface 3333a is inclined upward from one end to the other end of the upper surface of the support rod 3333. The inclined surface 3333a guides the cam protrusion 3332a of the cam 3332 so that the cam protrusion 3332a rotates in the left and right directions for the purpose of opening / closing.

[0160] The inclined surface 3333 a guides the rotation direction of the cam 3332 while being in contact with the cam protrusion 3332 a .

[0161] The spring hole 3333b is a portion in which the spring 3334 is embedded.

[0162] An anti-buckling pin 3333c for preventing the spring 3334 from buckling protrudes axially from an inner center portion of the spring hole 3333b.

[0163] The buckling prevention pin 3333 c may be integrally formed with the lower center portion of the support rod 3333 , or may have a detachable structure in which the buckling prevention pin 3333 c is separable from the lower center portion of the support rod 3333 .

[0164] The outer circumferential surface of the anti-buckling pin 3333c is spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the spring hole 3333b and has a smaller size than the inner circumferential surface of the spring 3334. Therefore, the spring 3334 can be easily inserted into the anti-buckling pin 3333c.

[0165] The spring 3334 is a compression coil spring and is built into the support rod 3333. When the support rod 3333 slides, the spring 3334 provides elastic force to the support rod 3333 through a stretching / compression process.

[0166] After the cam protrusion 3332 a of the cam 3332 moves the support rod 3333 downward, when the cam protrusion 3332 a passes through the inflection point and returns to the initial position, the support rod 3333 is restored to the initial position by the spring 3334 .

[0167] The effects of the opening / closing assisting part 3330 on the glove box 3000 are summarized as follows.

[0168] When the housing is opened, as the cam protrusion 3332a moves toward the curved portion at the other end of the inclined surface 3333a, the opening speed of the housing 3200 is attenuated.

[0169] In contrast, when the housing 3200 is closed, as the cam protrusion 3332 a passes through the curved portion and moves toward one end of the inclined surface 3333 a , the opening speed of the housing 3200 increases, thereby helping the occupant to easily close the housing 3200 .

[0170] Therefore, due to the opening / closing auxiliary part 3330, the housing 3220 can easily semi-automatically close the storage space.

[0171] Figures 11 to 16 The illustrated opening / closing auxiliary part 3330 may be implemented not in the first link part 3310 but in the second link part 3320 , or may be implemented in both the first link part 3310 and the second link part 3320 .

[0172] When the opening / closing assisting part 3330 is implemented in both the first link part 3310 and the second link part 3320 , the opening rotation speed of the housing 3200 may be more effectively controlled.

[0173] Fourth embodiment

[0174] Figure 17 is a perspective view illustrating a glove box according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 18 It is an icon Figure 17 A partial enlarged view of part A shown in FIG.

[0175] refer to Figure 17 and 18 The glove box 4000 according to the fourth embodiment adopts a stopper 4324 to prevent the housing 4200 from moving left and right and to control the opening angle of the housing 4200 .

[0176] The stopper 4324 may be passed within a guide hole 4111 formed in the sidewall 4110 of the cover 4100 and protrude toward the cover 4100 on a section of the second connecting rod 4321 of the second link part 4320 .

[0177] The stopper 4324 may include a seating protrusion 4325 that can be selectively seated in the seating grooves 4112 located at the start and end points of the guide hole 4111 when the housing 4200 is opened. The seating protrusion 4325 is formed in a polygonal shape. The seating protrusion 4325 may be located at the lower end of the stopper 4234 and seated in the seating groove 4112 when the stopper 4324 is transferred to the guide hole 4111.

[0178] The seating groove 4112 is implemented at a position where the housing 4200 is closed to avoid interference with the assembly of the cover 4100 due to the shape of the seating protrusion 4325 .

[0179] The seating protrusion 4325 extends from the lower portion of the stopper 4324 and has a shape corresponding to the seating groove 4112. Figure 18 As shown, when the seating protrusion 4325 has an upper surface shorter than a lower surface and is inclined upward from both ends of the lower surface toward both ends of the upper surface, the seating groove 4112 is recessed into a shape corresponding to the seating protrusion 4325 .

[0180] When the housing 4200 is opened or closed from the cover 4100 , the seating protrusions 4325 are seated in the seating grooves 4112 located at the start and end points of the guide holes 4111 , so that the torsional rigidity of the glove box 4000 can be secured.

[0181] That is, even when the glove box 4000 is in the open state, the stopper 4324 can minimize the shaking of the transmission motion relative to the housing 4200 and continuously ensure the left-right torsional rigidity.

[0182] Here, the seating protrusion 4325 may be made of a soft rubber material or a silicone material, and preferably made of a shock-absorbing material such as sponge.

[0183] As a result, the stopper 4324 from which the protrusion 4325 is positioned to extend downward may control the opening angle of the housing 4200 and simultaneously prevent the left and right movement of the housing 4200, thereby enhancing torsional rigidity.

[0184] Meanwhile, the transmission link 4300 itself has a structural feature that prevents the housing 4200 from moving left and right.

[0185] That is, the anti-movement step 4321a that contacts the inner side of the side wall 4110 serving as the periphery of the guide hole 4111 protrudes from the central portion of the second connecting rod 4321 constructed in the second link part 4320 of the conveying link 4300.

[0186] When the second connecting rod 4321 has a “T” shape, the anti-movement step 4321 a protrudes along a vertical section of the “I” shape in the “T” shape.

[0187] In addition, the anti-movement step 4321 a is provided at a gap between the anti-movement step 4321 a and the second link part 4320 fastened between the cover 4100 and the housing 4200 , and thus may have a thickness corresponding to the gap.

[0188] Even when the housing 4200 is opened, the anti-movement step 4321a can be detached or attached from a position covered by the cover 4100 and not exposed to the outside.

[0189] The stopper 4324 (in which the protrusion 4325 is positioned to extend downward) and the anti-movement step 4321 a do not deviate from the cover 4100 in the operating section of the conveying link 4300 , so the housing 4200 can continuously maintain left-right rigidity during the opening movement of the housing 4200 .

[0190] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 The glove box 4000 according to the fourth embodiment shown is only one embodiment, and the stopper 4234 and the anti-movement step 4321 a may be located not in the second link part 4320 but in the first link part 4310 or in both the first link part 4310 and the second link part 4320 .

[0191] As another example, the stopper 4234 and the anti-movement step 4321a may be located not in the conveying link 4300 but between the cover 4100 and the housing 4200, thereby preventing left-right movement of the housing 4200 and ensuring torsional rigidity.

[0192] In this case, the stopper 4324 may protrude from a rotation protrusion (not shown) separately protruding from the outer surface of the housing 4200 to the cover 4100 and thus may be transferred into the guide hole 4111 of the sidewall 4110 .

[0193] Fifth embodiment

[0194] Figure 19 is a side view illustrating a glove box according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 20 5 is a schematic operational diagram illustrating an opening / closing structure of a glove box according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0195] refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 The glove box 5000 according to the fifth embodiment has a structure that prevents the speed from increasing as the rotation slope becomes greater at the end point than at the initial point when the housing 5200 operates nonlinearly.

[0196] To this end, the glove box 5000 includes a cover 5100 , a housing 5200 , a transmission link 5300 , a locking member 5400 , and a damper 5600 .

[0197] The cover 5100 is built into the instrument panel of the vehicle in a state where its front surface is opened. An arched guide hole 5111 is formed in the side wall 5110 of the cover 5100 so as to extend from the top to the bottom.

[0198] The housing 5200 may be accommodated in a state in which one open surface thereof is covered by the cover 5100 , and the opened front surface of the cover 5100 is transferred along a rotation trajectory of the guide hole 5111 to open or close the storage space.

[0199] The conveying link 5300 is disposed between both outer ends of the housing 5200 and both inner ends of the cover 5100 and conveys the housing 5200 along a rotational trajectory of the guide hole 5111 .

[0200] The locking member 5400 is connected between the cover 5100 and the housing 5200 for selectively locking or unlocking the housing 5200 to or from the cover 5100 .

[0201] The damper 5600 is provided between the cover 5100 and the housing 5200 to dampen speed when the housing 5200 is rapidly tilted by operation of the piston.

[0202] The damper 5600 includes a damper body 5610 and a piston rod 5620 .

[0203] The damper body 5610 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the side wall 5110 of the cover 5100 .

[0204] The piston rod 5620 is constructed in a stretchable manner in the damper body 5610. One end of the piston rod 5620 is connected to the inside of the damper body 5610, and the other end of the piston rod 5620 is connected to the guide protrusion 5324 of the second connecting rod 5321.

[0205] When the occupant unlocks the locking member 5400 and then separates the housing 5200 from the cover 5100 to open the storage space, the housing 5200 is rotated forward due to the transmission link 5300, so that the storage space is opened.

[0206] In this case, since the piston rod 5620 of the damper 5600 extends downward according to the movement of the guide protrusion 5324, the damper 5600 limits the rapid change of the inclination of the housing 5200 and further prevents the rapid increase of the descending speed.

[0207] at the same time, Figure 19 and Figure 20 The damper 5600 is shown to be rotatably disposed at the upper end of the side wall 5110 of the cover 5100.

[0208] However, the glove box 5000 in the fifth embodiment is not limited thereto, and the damper 5600 is rotatably provided at the lower end of the side wall 5110 of the cover 5100 .

[0209] For example, the damper body 5610 may be connected to any one of the first link part 5310 and the second link part 5320 , and the piston rod 5620 may be connected to the lower end of the outer surface of the housing 5200 .

[0210] When the damper body 5610 is connected to the first link part 5310 , the piston rod 5620 may be connected to the lower end of the outer surface of the housing 5200 .

[0211] In this case, a separate rotation protrusion (not shown) that protrudes toward the cover 5100 may be formed at a lower end of the outer surface of the housing 5200 .

[0212] The rotating protrusion may be transmitted along the trajectory of the guide hole 5111 and may be connected to the piston rod 5620 .

[0213] As another example, the damper body 5610 may be connected to the first link part 5310, and the piston rod 5620 may be connected to the guide protrusion 5324 and may perform a stroke motion.

[0214] As another example, when the damper body 5610 is connected to the second hinge shaft 5322 of the second link part 5320, the piston rod 5620 may be connected to a separate rotating protrusion (not shown) protruding from the lower end of the outer surface of the housing 5200 toward the cover 5100 and may perform a stroke motion.

[0215] As yet another example, the damper 5600 may connect the front of the cover 5100 and the front of the housing 5200. In this case, the damper 5600 may be connected to any one of the upper and lower ends of the front of the cover 5100 and may be connected to any one of the upper and lower ends of the front of the housing 5200 in proportion thereto.

[0216] Sixth embodiment

[0217] Figure 21 is a side view illustrating a glove box according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 22 is an operational diagram illustrating an opening / closing structure of a glove box according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 23 yes Figure 21 An enlarged partial view of part B is shown.

[0218] refer to Figures 21 to 23The glove box 6000 in the sixth embodiment has a main feature in that an opening shock that may occur when the housing 6200 is opened is absorbed by the elastic body 6325 surrounding the stopper 6324.

[0219] The glove box 6000 includes a cover 6100 , a housing 6200 , a transmission link 6300 , and a locking member 6400 .

[0220] The cover 6100 is built in a dashboard of a vehicle with its front surface opened and includes a rod connecting part 6210 provided at the front of the outer side wall 6110 and an arched guide hole 6111 extending from the upper portion to the lower portion of the outer side wall 6110 .

[0221] The guide hole 6111 is formed so that the width of the end point (front side) on the rotation trajectory is smaller than the width of the starting point (rear side). The elastic body 6325 that changes toward the end point of the guide hole 6111 to attenuate the opening speed of the housing 6200 is located on the trajectory of the guide hole 6111.

[0222] The guide hole 6111 can be variably configured to maintain a gap between the guide hole 6111 and the elastic body 6325 when the housing 6200 is closed, and to overlap the elastic body 6325 when the housing 6200 is opened. In this case, the elastic body 6325 enters the end point of the guide hole 6111 and overlaps with it. In other words, the elastic body 6325 overlaps the guide hole 6111 to reduce the opening speed of the housing 6200 and thus absorb the opening shock. This will be described in detail below.

[0223] The housing 6200 may be housed in a state where one open surface thereof is covered by the cover 6100 .

[0224] The housing 6200 selectively opens or closes the opened front surface of the cover 6100 .

[0225] The conveying link 6300 is disposed between both outer ends of the housing 6200 and both inner ends of the cover 6100 and conveys the housing 6200 along a rotational trajectory of the guide hole 6111 .

[0226] The conveying link 6300 includes a first link part 6310 and a second link part 6320 connecting the cover 6100 and the housing 6200 while being spaced apart from each other.

[0227] Ends of the first link part 6310 and the second link part 6320 are rotatably connected to an inner lower portion of the cover 6100 .

[0228] The other ends of the first link part 6310 and the second link part 6320 are rotatably connected to the outer upper portion of the housing 6200 .

[0229] The supporting points of the first link part 6310 and the second link part 6320 are arranged at the lower end of the cover 6100 .

[0230] The locking member 6400 is provided at the upper ends of the first link part 6310 and the second link part 6320 , thereby improving the stability of the housing 6200 in a locked state.

[0231] The first link part 6310 includes a first connecting rod 6311 , a first hinge axis 6312 and a first movable axis 6313 .

[0232] The first connection rod 6311 is formed in the shape of a linear rod and has both ends rotatably mounted on the side wall 6110 of the cover 6100 within an acute angle range.

[0233] The first hinge shaft 6312 connects one end of the first connecting rod 6311 and the inner lower portion of the cover 6100 .

[0234] The first movable shaft 6313 connects the other end of the first connecting rod 6311 and the outer upper portion of the housing 6200 .

[0235] The second link part 6320 includes a second connecting rod 6321 , a second hinge shaft 6322 , a second movable shaft 6323 and a stopper 6324 .

[0236] The second connecting rod 6321 is installed and rotated at the same angle as or different from the first connecting rod 6311 .

[0237] The second connecting rod 6321 has a central portion extending rearward between both ends in the longitudinal direction thereof, and a stopper 6324 protrudes from such a central portion.

[0238] The stopper 6324 is slidably coupled to a guide hole 6111 formed in the side wall 6110 of the cover 6100. In this case, the stopper 6324 is surrounded by the elastic body 6325.

[0239] like Figure 23 As shown, since the guide hole 6111 has a variable width, a predetermined gap is maintained between the guide hole 6111 and the elastic body 6325 when the housing 6200 is closed. Therefore, when the housing 6200 is initially opened, the descending speed of the housing 6200 is not reduced due to the elastic body 6325.

[0240] However, since the width of the guide hole 6111 decreases in the direction toward the end point, the gap between the guide hole 6111 and the elastomer 6325 decreases after the elastomer 6325 has passed through the predetermined section, so the elastomer 6325 and the guide hole 6111 can overlap each other.

[0241] Therefore, the rotation speed of the conveying link 6300 is reduced, and as a result, the opening speed of the housing 6200 is reduced due to the overlap between the elastic body 6325 and the guide hole 6111.

[0242] The second hinge shaft 6322 is provided in parallel with the first hinge shaft 6312 while being spaced apart from the first hinge shaft 6312. The second hinge shaft 6322 connects one end of the second connection rod 6321 and the inner lower portion of the cover 6100.

[0243] The second movable shaft 6323 connects the other end of the second connecting rod 6321 and the outer upper portion of the housing 6200 .

[0244] The locking member 6400 is connected between the cover 6100 and the housing 6200 for selectively locking or unlocking the housing 6200 to or from the cover 6100 .

[0245] The glove box 6000 may further include a damper 6600 for correcting the opening speed of the housing 6200 .

[0246] The damper 6600 includes a damper body 6610 and a piston rod 6620 .

[0247] The damper body 6610 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the housing 6200 .

[0248] The piston rod 6620 connects the damper body 6610 and the rod connection part 6210. The piston rod 6620 performs a stroke motion from the damper body 6610 to control the opening speed of the housing 6200.

[0249] At the same time, the stopper 6324 may also protrude from the fastening surface between the housing 6200 and the cover 6100. In this case, the stopper 6324 may protrude from the housing 6200 toward the cover 6100 and may be transferred into the guide hole 6111.

[0250] In this case, the elastic body 6325 for correcting the rotational force of the housing 6200 can be fastened to the stopper 6324 while surrounding the stopper 6324 with a snap fit.

[0251] Seventh embodiment

[0252] Figure 24 is a side view illustrating a glove box according to a seventh embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 25 and Figure 26 1 is an operational diagram illustrating the opening / closing structure of the glove box according to the seventh embodiment.

[0253] refer to Figures 24 to 26 , a glove box 7000 according to the seventh embodiment includes a cover 7100 , a housing 7200 , a transmission link 7300 , and a damper 7600 .

[0254] The cover 7100 is built into the instrument panel of the vehicle in a state where its front surface is opened. An arched guide hole 7111 is formed in a side wall 7110 of the cover 7100 so as to extend from the top to the bottom.

[0255] The housing 7200 may be housed in a state in which one open surface thereof is covered by the cover 7100 .

[0256] When the opened front surface of the cover 7100 is transferred along the rotation trajectory of the guide hole 7111 , the housing 7200 opens or closes the storage space.

[0257] The conveying link 7300 is disposed between both outer ends of the housing 7200 and both inner ends of the cover 7100 and conveys the housing 7200 along a rotational trajectory of the guide hole 7111 .

[0258] The damper 7600 is connected between the cover 7100 and the transmission link 7300 to dampen speed when the housing 7200 is rapidly tilted by operation of the piston.

[0259] In this case, the damper 7600 only rotates in place in the closed state or the preset initial opening section of the housing 7200 without expansion / contraction of its length.

[0260] However, the damper 7600 may generate a damping force by an increase in stroke in a preset terminal opening section.

[0261] The damper 7600 includes a damper body 7610 and a piston rod 7620 .

[0262] The damper body 7610 is rotatably connected to the side wall 7110 of the cover 7100 .

[0263] The piston rod 7620 is connected between the damper body 7610 and the side wall 7110 of the cover 7100 and performs a stroke motion from the damper body 7610 to control the opening speed of the housing 7200 .

[0264] When the housing 7200 is opened, the damper 7600 controls the rotation speed increasing from the rotation start point to the rotation end point so that the rotation speed remains within a preset range.

[0265] For example, the damper 7600 is rotated into place only in the installation position, so that no damping force is generated in the section where the housing 7200 rotates smoothly, and the stroke of the piston rod 7620 is not increased.

[0266] In contrast, the damper 7600 has a structure in which the damping force is generated as the stroke of the piston rod 7620 starts to increase in a section where the opening speed increases rapidly as the housing 7200 opens after passing through a specific section.

[0267] In this case, when the housing 7200 is in a closed state or an initially opened state, the strokes L5 and L6 of the piston rod 7620 may be approximately 10 mm, and the stroke L7 of the piston rod 7620 may be 40 mm when the housing 7200 is fully opened.

[0268] According to the present disclosure, a glove box may have maximized storage space and provide improved convenience of use through various operating mechanisms.

[0269] In particular, the glove box may provide improved quality compared to the prior art and furthermore ensure structural safety.

[0270] This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0104150, filed on August 6, 2021, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0271] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be variously modified and implemented without departing from the permissible range of the technical spirit of the present disclosure.
