Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of anticollision structures, more specifically, it relates to a glove compartment anticollision structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, glove compartment on most vehicles is mainly used to store articles, and its safety performance is not considered much, and its external structure is basically flat, with low strength and smaller force that can be withstood, which can even cause uncomfortable experience to the passenger's leg at the co-driver position.

[0003] Chinese patent publication No.CN210822058U, published on June 23, 2020, the utility model name is a glove compartment for vehicle and a vehicle comprising the glove compartment. The application discloses a glove compartment for vehicle, which can provide sufficient buffer and energy absorption to protect passengers when emergency deceleration, sudden stop or frontal collision occurs during vehicle driving. However, the glove compartment is provided with many structures such as elastic material air bag, which not only has high cost, but also may not work in some cases. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application overcomes the deficiencies of the glove compartment for vehicle and the vehicle comprising the glove compartment, and provides a glove compartment anticollision structure, which changes the flat structure of the normal glove compartment to corrugated structure, increases the strength of the product without increasing the weight of the product and the number of parts, and improves the product qualification rate. In addition, when the glove compartment cannot be normally opened in emergency, the glove compartment can be opened by an additional protective plate.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application adopts the following technical scheme: a glove compartment anticollision structure, comprising a box body, the box body comprises a box body mounting surface and a cover plate mounting surface, the box body mounting surface is provided with an anti-impact area. The box body mounting surface is away from the side of the co-driver passenger position, and the cover plate mounting surface is the side facing the co-driver passenger. The anti-impact area is mainly to prevent the box body from being damaged under the action of strong external force

[0006] As a preferred, the anti-impact area is provided with a corrugated structure, and the corrugated structure can enhance the rigidity of the glove compartment box body.

[0007] As preferred, the corrugated structure has the following features: convex ridges and concave grooves, convex ridges and concave grooves arranged alternately, the transition connection between the convex ridges and the concave grooves by the inclined surface, the convex ridges and the concave grooves are respectively connected with the inclined surface with rounded corners. The inner and outer surfaces of the glove box are both corrugated structures, and the alternating arrangement enhances the overall strength and rigidity of the box in the corrugated plane, but the convex ridges and the concave grooves and the inclined surface therebetween also play a role in buffering and energy absorption in the vertical corrugated plane. When external force acts on the corrugated structure, most of the force will be unloaded.

[0008] As preferred, the angle α between the inclined surface and the plane of the anti-collision area is between 20° and 60°. When external force impacts the corrugated structure, the convex ridges, the concave grooves and the inclined surface will be temporarily bent under the action of external force, which greatly buffers and absorbs energy. When the external impact disappears, the convex ridges, the concave grooves and the inclined surface will quickly return to their original state. If the angle α is less than 20°, the effect of the corrugated structure will be similar to that of a flat plate structure, reducing the strength and buffering effect of the corrugated structure. If the angle α is greater than 60°, when external force impacts the corrugated structure, the angle α is too large and can be approximated as a right angle. The rigidity of the corrugated structure will reach the maximum range, and the inclined surface between the convex ridges and the concave grooves will bear most of the force and break, damaging the corrugated structure.

[0009] As preferred, the corrugated structure is provided with a wedge-shaped block between the two side walls of the box. The wedge-shaped block arranged between the side wall and the corrugated structure can enhance the strength of this position, and when external force impacts, it can better protect the corrugated structure and the two box side walls from breaking.

[0010] As preferred, a protective plate is rotatably connected to one side of the cover plate mounting surface, a convex block is provided in the middle of the corrugated structure, an elastic member is provided at each end, and the convex block and the two elastic members are connected by a wire. The elastic member is used for fixed connection of the protective plate and the box at this time. The convex block in the middle of the corrugated structure has protrusions on the inner and outer surfaces of the box. The protrusion inside the box is to fix the wire connecting the elastic member, and the protrusion outside the box is to enable the corrugated structure to be extruded with the vehicle body when subjected to external impact force, so that the corrugated structure deforms in the vertical plane. After the corrugated structure deforms, a tensile force is generated on the wire, so as to pull the elastic member to move. At the same time, the convex block can also improve the stability and strength of the middle part of the corrugated structure.

[0011] As a preference, the area of the wedge-shaped block on the side of the box mounting surface is larger than the area on the side close to the cover plate mounting surface, and is connected with all the corrugated end portions. The area of the wedge-shaped block on the side of the box mounting surface is larger than the area on the side close to the cover plate mounting surface, on the one hand, the wedge-shaped block can save a certain space for the glove box, on the other hand, it can well protect the anti-impact area from breaking damage. The direction of external impact force is often perpendicular to the anti-impact area, so the larger the connecting part area of the wedge-shaped block and the anti-impact area, the better the external impact force can be dispersed, thereby effectively protecting the glove box. The wedge-shaped block is connected with all the corrugated end portions, which to some extent reduces the effective length of the corrugated structure, but increases the strength of the corrugated structure, on the other hand, the end portion of the corrugated structure can withstand stronger external impact force under the action of the wedge-shaped block, so that the corrugated end portion is not easy to break and damage.

[0012] As a preference, the guard plate and the wedge-shaped block are provided with a hole matched with the elastic member. The elastic member passes through the hole on the guard plate and the wedge-shaped block to fix the guard plate and the wedge-shaped block together, so that the guard plate cannot rotate around the box under normal circumstances. When the corrugated structure is deformed by external force, the elastic member is separated from the hole on the guard plate and the wedge-shaped block due to the stretching of the protruding block and the line, and the guard plate and the wedge-shaped block lose the relative fixing effect, so that the guard plate and the wedge-shaped block rotate around the shaft between the box and the cover plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: (1) without increasing the weight of the product and the number of parts, the strength of the product is increased, and the product qualification rate is improved; (2) a structure for opening the glove box is added to cope with emergency situations; (3) the structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and has lower cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1: as shown in Fig. 1 Figure 1 to Fig. 14 Figure 4As shown, a glove box anti-collision structure, comprising a box body 1, the box body 1 comprising a box mounting surface and a cover plate mounting surface, the box mounting surface is provided with an anti-impact area 2, the anti-impact area 2 is provided with a corrugated structure 4, the corrugated structure 4 has the following characteristics: convex edges 7 and recessed grooves 9; convex edges 7 and recessed grooves 9 are arranged alternately; the convex edges 7 and recessed grooves 9 are connected by a slope 8; the convex edges 7, recessed grooves 9 and slope 8 are connected with rounded corners. The box mounting surface is away from the side of the co-driver passenger position, and the cover plate mounting surface is the side facing the co-driver passenger. The anti-impact area 2 is mainly to prevent the box from being damaged under the action of strong external force. The corrugated structure 4 on the anti-impact area 2 can enhance the rigidity of the glove box body 1. The inner and outer surfaces of the glove box are both corrugated structures 4, which enhance the overall strength and rigidity of the box 1 in the corrugated plane, but the convex edges 7 and recessed grooves 9 and the slope 8 between them connected in the vertical corrugated plane also play a role in buffering and energy absorption. The angle α10 between the slope and the plane of the anti-impact area 2 is between 20° and 60°. When the corrugated structure 4 is impacted by external force, the convex edges 7, recessed grooves 9 and slope 8 between them will be temporarily bent under the action of external force, which will greatly buffer and absorb energy. When the external impact disappears, the convex edges 7, recessed grooves 9 and slope 8 will quickly return to their original state. If the angle α10 is less than 20°, the effect of the corrugated structure 4 will be similar to that of a flat plate structure, reducing the strength and buffering effect of the corrugated structure 4; if the angle α10 is greater than 60°, when the corrugated structure 4 is impacted by external force, due to the large angle α10, it can be approximately regarded as a right angle, the rigidity of the corrugated structure 4 will reach the maximum range, and the slope 8 between the convex edges 7 and recessed grooves 9 will bear most of the force and be broken, damaging the corrugated structure 4.

[0025] The wedge-shaped block 3 is arranged between the box side wall 5 and the corrugated structure 4, which can enhance the strength of the position, and can better protect the corrugated structure 4 and the two box side walls 5 from breaking when an external force hits. The area of the wedge-shaped block 3 on the side of the box mounting surface is larger than that on the side close to the cover plate mounting surface. On the one hand, the wedge-shaped block 3 can save space for the glove box, and on the other hand, it can well protect the anti-collision area 2 from breaking. In actual situations, the direction of external impact force is often perpendicular to the anti-collision area 2, so the larger the area of the connecting part of the wedge-shaped block 3 and the anti-collision area 2, the better the external impact force can be dispersed, thereby effectively protecting the glove box. The wedge-shaped block 3 is connected with all the ends of the corrugated structure 4, which reduces the effective length of the corrugated structure 4 to a certain extent, but increases the strength of the corrugated structure 4. On the other hand, the ends of the corrugated structure 4 can withstand stronger external impact force under the action of the wedge-shaped block 3, so that the corrugated ends are not easy to break.

[0026] Example 2: as shown in the accompanying Figure 5 to the accompanying Figure 8 The glove box anti-collision structure comprises a box 1, the box 1 comprises a box mounting surface and a cover plate mounting surface, the box mounting surface is provided with an anti-collision area 2, the anti-collision area is provided with a corrugated structure 4, the corrugated structure 4 is provided with a wedge-shaped block 3 between the two box side walls 5, the cover plate mounting surface is rotatably connected with a protective plate 12, the corrugated structure 4 is provided with a protruding block 14 in the middle and an elastic element 11 at each end, the protruding block 14 and the elastic element 11 are connected by a wire 15, and the protective plate 12 and the wedge-shaped block 3 are both provided with a hole matched with the elastic element 11.

[0027] The cover plate mounting surface is used to install a cover plate, but this side is also rotatably connected with a protective plate 12, the protective plate 12 can rotate together with the shaft between the box 1 and the cover plate, the protective plate 12, the cover plate and the box 1 can independently rotate around the shaft, and the protective plate 12 should be close to the two box side walls 5, which is conducive to the relative fixation of the protective plate 12 and the box side wall 5. In normal driving, the lock catch 13 on the cover plate and the protective plate 12 is normally locked, the cover plate can be normally opened through the lock catch 13, the elastic element 11 fixes the protective plate 12 and the wedge-shaped block 3 together through the hole on the protective plate 12 and the wedge-shaped block 3, so that the protective plate 12 cannot rotate around the box 1 in normal circumstances.

[0028] The convex block 14 in the middle of the corrugated structure 4 is connected with the two elastic members 11 by a wire 15. The convex block 14 in the middle of the corrugated structure 4 is convex on the inner and outer surfaces of the box 1. The convex block on the inner surface of the box 1 is used to fix the wire connecting the elastic members, and the convex block on the outer surface of the box 1 is used to extrude the vehicle body when the corrugated structure 4 is impacted from the outside, so that the corrugated structure 4 is deformed in the vertical plane. After the corrugated structure 4 is deformed, a pulling force is generated on the wire 15, so that the elastic members 11 are pulled to move. The elastic members 11 are thus separated from the holes on the wedge-shaped block 3 and the protective plate 12, and the protective plate 12 and the wedge-shaped block 3 lose the relative fixing effect, and thus rotate around the shaft between the box 1 and the cover plate. At this time, the protective plate 12, the cover plate and the lock 13 are locked together and rotate around the shaft between the cover plate and the box 1, so that the glove box is opened. Generally, the wire 15 needs to be protected to prevent the glove box from being opened automatically when the glove box is used normally. Therefore, a protective cover can be added to cover the wire 15, but it will not affect the tensioning effect of the wire 15 when the glove box is impacted.

[0029] Generally, the glove box can be opened in this way when the vehicle is impacted and the door glove box cannot be normally opened, so that the emergency escape tool can be taken in time. At the same time, the glove box can also be opened by applying external impact force to the glove box by human, which is helpful for passengers to cope with dangerous situations in emergency situations.
