[0050] In addition, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such features, and are used to distinguish and describe features, without any distinction in order or importance.

[0051] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0052] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0053] Reference below Figures 1-13 , describing a sliding cover assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the sliding cover assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a bracket 10 , a first sliding cover 20 , a second sliding cover 30 , and a driving mechanism 40 .

[0055] The bracket 10 is provided with an opening 10a having a first direction and a second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to a first plane in which the opening 10a is located and points inwardly of the bracket 10, while the second direction is parallel to the first plane. A first sliding cover 20 and a second sliding cover 30 are arranged side by side at the opening 10a to keep the opening 10a closed. The first sliding cover 20 is movable in the first and second directions, while the second sliding cover 30 is movable in the second direction. A driving mechanism 40 is connected to the first sliding cover 20 and is capable of driving the first sliding cover 20 to move in the first and second directions, respectively. When the first sliding cover 20 moves in the second direction, the second sliding cover 30 is driven.

[0056] The first direction and the second direction are related to the position of the opening 10a, and can be set specifically according to the situation. For example, when the opening 10a is located at the top of the bracket 10, the first plane where the opening 10a is located is a horizontal plane, and the first direction is Figure 1 The second direction is from top to bottom. Figure 1 When the sliding cover assembly 100 is in the open state, the driving mechanism 40 drives the first sliding cover 20 to move downward. At this time, the first sliding cover 20 is located at the lower side of the opening 10a (see Figure 2 ), the driving mechanism 40 continues to work, and can drive the first sliding cover 20 to move to the left, and then the first sliding cover 20 pushes the second sliding cover 30 to move to the left, opening the opening 10a (see Figure 3 ).

[0057] When the first sliding cover 20 and the second sliding cover 30 are opened, the first sliding cover 20 can be hidden inside the bracket 10 (see FIG. Figure 3 ), then drives the second slide cover 30 to slide open the opening 10a. This movement ensures that when the slide cover assembly 100 is closed, the first slide cover 20 and the second slide cover 30 remain flush with the top of the bracket 10, resulting in a smoother surface and improved appearance. Furthermore, the movement of the first and second slide covers 20 and 30 is simple and smooth, which improves the structural stability of the slide cover assembly 100 and helps extend its service life.

[0058] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction can also be other directions. For example, when the opening 10a is provided on the front end surface of the bracket 10, the first direction can refer to the direction from front to back, and the second direction can refer to the up and down direction. The first direction and the second direction can be specifically set according to the situation, and will not be repeated here.

[0059] According to the sliding cover assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the sliding cover assembly 100 can realize the electric sliding opening of the first sliding cover 20 and the second sliding cover 30, and the first sliding cover 20 can be hidden during the opening process. During the whole process, the movement of the sliding cover is smooth and the movement amplitude is relatively small, and it does not occupy the space outside the sliding cover assembly 100, which can save space.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the first sliding cover 20 is provided with a driven portion 201, and the driven portion 201 is provided with a first guide groove 201a. The distance between the first guide groove 201a and the first plane gradually decreases in the direction away from the second sliding cover 30. The driving mechanism 40 includes a connecting seat 410 and a driving component 420 (see Figure 5 ), the connecting base 410 is provided with a guide post 410a, which moves along the first guide groove 201a, and the driving component 420 drives the connecting base 410 to move in the second direction. In other words, the first guide groove 201a is an inclined groove. When the driving component 420 drives the connecting base 410 to move in the second direction, the guide post 410a acts on the first guide groove 201a to drive the first sliding cover 20 to move in the first direction.

[0061] For example, the first direction is Figure 6 The second direction is from top to bottom. Figure 1 In the left-right direction, the first guide slot 201a can be an oblique slot arranged obliquely to the upper left. When the driving component 420 drives the connecting seat 410 to move leftward, the guide column 410a pushes the first guide slot 201a to move downward, and drives the first sliding cover 20 to move downward.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the driven portion 201 is provided with a second guide groove 201b. The second guide groove 201b is located at an end of the first guide groove 201a near the second sliding cover 30 and extends along the second direction. It can be understood that the second guide groove 201b is a straight groove. When the sliding cover assembly 100 is in the closed state, the guide post 410a can be located within the second guide groove 201b. When the sliding cover assembly 100 switches from the closed state to the open state, the guide post 410a first moves a short distance along the second guide groove 201b before entering the first guide groove 201a. This ensures that the first sliding cover 20 moves smoothly in the first direction.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the driven portion 201 may be a plate-shaped member, and the first guide groove 201 a is a through groove penetrating the driven portion 201 .

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the driven portion 201 is provided on both sides of the first sliding cover 20 in the second direction, and guide posts 410a are provided on both sides of the connecting base 410 in the second direction. The guide posts 410a correspond one-to-one with the driven portion 201, and the guide posts 410a are provided in the corresponding first guide grooves 201a. In other words, by providing the guide posts 410a and the driven portion 201 on both sides of the first sliding cover 20 in the second direction, support and guidance can be provided on both sides simultaneously, thereby improving movement stability.

[0065] For example, Figure 7 As shown, the front and rear ends of the first sliding cover 20 are provided with driven parts 201 , and the front and rear ends of the connecting seat 410 are provided with guide pillars 410 a .

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, at least two driven parts 201 are provided on each side of the first sliding cover 20, and at least two guide posts 410a are provided on each side of the connecting base 410. The number of guide posts 410a and the number of driven parts 201 are equal and correspond one to one. By increasing the number of driven parts 201 on each side of the first sliding cover 20 and the number of guide posts 410a on each side of the connecting base 410, the movement stability of the first sliding cover 20 can be further improved.

[0067] For example, Figure 7 As shown, the first sliding cover 20 is provided with two driven parts 201 on the front side and two driven parts 201 on the rear side. The connecting seat 410 is provided with two guide posts 410a on the front side and two guide posts 410a on the rear side.

[0068] Of course, this is just an example, and the number of driven parts 201 on each side of the first sliding cover 20 and the number of guide pillars 410a on each side of the connecting seat 410 can also be other values, which will not be repeated here.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 8 As shown, the connecting base 410 includes a connecting frame 4101 and a connecting block 4102. The guide column 410a is provided on the connecting frame 4101. The connecting block 4102 is fixed to the connecting frame 4101 by screws. The connecting block 4102 is connected to the driving component 420. By configuring the connecting base 410 as a detachable connecting frame 4101 and connecting block 4102, disassembly and replacement are facilitated, which can reduce maintenance costs.

[0070] In some embodiments, the connecting block 4102 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 9 As shown, the second sliding cover 30 includes a sliding cover body 310 and an extension base 320. The extension base 320 is located at one end of the sliding cover body 310 near the first sliding cover 20. The extension base 320 and the sliding cover body 310 form a mounting groove 30a in the first direction, and the first sliding cover 20 is located within the mounting groove 30a. The mounting groove 30a provides a mounting position for the first sliding cover 20. When the first sliding cover 20 moves in the second direction, since the first sliding cover 20 is located in the mounting groove 30a, it can drive the second sliding cover 30 to move in the second direction.

[0072] like Figure 9 As shown, for example, the extension seat 320 may be provided at the lower left end of the sliding cover body 310 and extend in the left-right direction.

[0073] like Figure 9 As shown, specifically, the size of the extension seat 320 in the first direction is smaller than the size of the sliding cover body 310 in the first direction, that is, the thickness of the extension seat 320 is smaller than the thickness of the sliding cover body 310, that is, the second sliding cover 30 has a stepped structure, so that a mounting groove 30a can be formed between the extension seat 320 and the sliding cover body 310.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 10 As shown, the extension base 320 is provided with a guide rail 510, which extends along the second direction, and the connecting base 410 is provided with a slider 520, which is arranged on the guide rail 510. The guide rail 510 and the slider 520 cooperate with each other to provide a guiding effect on the movement of the connecting base 410, thereby improving the movement stability of the connecting base 410.

[0075] Specifically, the slider 520 can be provided on the connecting block 4102 .

[0076] In some embodiments, the sliding cover body 310 includes a sliding cover covering frame (not shown in the figure), a sliding cover lower frame (not shown in the figure) and a sliding cover foam block (not shown in the figure). The sliding cover lower frame is connected to the extension seat 320. The sliding cover covering frame is arranged on the sliding cover lower frame, and the gap surface difference appearance requirements are met between the sliding cover covering frame and the sliding cover foam block. The sliding cover foam block is arranged on the sliding cover covering frame. The thickness of the sliding cover foam block is 7 mm, and the upper part is a skin, which meets the appearance requirements.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first sliding cover 20 includes a cover frame (not shown in the figure), a cover bracket (not shown in the figure), and a cover foam block (not shown in the figure). The driven part 201 is arranged on the cover bracket, the cover frame is arranged on the cover bracket to shield the internal structure of the cover bracket, the cover foam block is arranged on the cover frame and meets the appearance requirements, and a skin is provided on the cover foam block to meet the gap surface difference appearance requirements.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 9 As shown, the driving component 420 is disposed on a side of the extension base 320 away from the first sliding cover 20. The extension base 320 is provided with an avoidance hole 320a, which extends in the second direction. The connecting base 410 is provided with a connecting portion 410b, which passes through the avoidance hole 320a and is connected to the driving component 420. In this manner, the driving component 420 and the first sliding cover 20 are disposed on both sides of the extension base 320, and the three structures are compactly arranged, which can save space. The connecting portion 410b can connect the connecting base 410 and the driving component 420 through the avoidance hole 320a, ensuring that the driving component 420 can drive the connecting base 410 to move. The avoidance hole 320a is configured as a strip-shaped hole extending in the second direction, which provides space for movement, so that the extension base 320 does not affect the movement of the connecting base 410 in the second direction.

[0079] Specifically, if Figure 5 、 Figure 10 As shown, the connecting portion 410b is provided on the connecting block 4102 .

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 10As shown, the driving component 420 includes a flexible transmission assembly 4201 and a driving motor 4202. The flexible member 42011 of the flexible transmission assembly 4201 is connected to the connecting portion 410b. The motor shaft of the driving motor 4202 is provided with a driving wheel 42021, which drives the flexible member 42011 to move. The driving motor 4202 drives the driving wheel 42021, and the friction between the driving wheel 42021 and the flexible member 42011 can drive the flexible member 42011 to move. The use of this flexible transmission structure can ensure the continuity and smoothness of the movement. At the same time, the starting and stopping of the driving motor 4202 can also achieve mechanical locking, so that the first sliding cover 20 and the second sliding cover 30 remain locked relative to each other.

[0081] Specifically, the flexible transmission assembly 4201 can be a rope transmission assembly, which includes two pulleys 42012 spaced apart along the second direction, and the flexible member 42011 is a pull rope, which is sleeved on the two pulleys 42012. The driving wheel 42021 is a rope pulley, and the pull rope is stopped on the rope groove of the rope pulley.

[0082] Specifically, if Figure 5 、 Figure 8 As shown, a mounting block 42011a is provided on the flexible member 42011, and the connecting portion 410b is an extension block. A groove 410c is provided on the extension block, and the mounting block 42011a is embedded in the groove 410c, thereby realizing the connection between the flexible member 42011 and the connecting seat 410. This method has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble.

[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, a detachable pulley mounting seat 103 is provided on the bracket 10, and the pulley 42012 is arranged on the pulley mounting seat 103. The pulley mounting seat 103 is connected to the bracket 10 by the rotating shaft thereon, and is used for fixing the pulley 42012 to ensure the stability of the movement process.

[0084] It should be noted that the flexible transmission assembly 4201 can also be a belt transmission assembly, a chain transmission assembly, etc. Its composition and operation are known to ordinary technicians in this field and will not be repeated here.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, a motor support 104 is provided on the bracket 10, and the driving motor 4202 is fixed to the motor support 104 by screws to ensure that the driving motor 4202 can be stable when running.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, the extension seat 320 is provided with a limiting groove 320b extending in a first direction, and the driven portion 201 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 320b. The sliding engagement between the driven portion 201 and the limiting groove 320b not only improves the coupling between the first and second sliding covers 20 and 30, ensuring stable movement of the second sliding cover 30 with the first sliding cover 20, but also serves as a guide, preventing the driven portion 201 from deviating from the first direction, thereby improving the movement reliability of the first sliding cover 20.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, a sliding portion 201c is provided on the driven portion 201, and the sliding portion 201c is provided in the limiting groove 320b. The sliding portion 201c can be a slide rail, and the slide rail is slidably fitted in the limiting groove 320b.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the limiting grooves 320b are provided on both sides of the extension seat 320 in the second direction, and correspond one-to-one with the driven parts 201 on both sides of the first sliding cover 20 in the second direction.

[0095] Specifically, the main body frame 110 can be constructed in a box shape and connected to other boxes that need to be installed through bolts to serve as a box cover.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, a support column 110 b is provided in the receiving groove 110 a , and the support column 110 b abuts against the outer frame 120 to support the outer frame 120 .

[0097] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a switch member 110c is provided on the outer side of the body frame 110. The switch member 110c is electrically connected to the drive motor 4202 to control the start of the drive motor 4202. Specifically, the switch member 110c can be a switch button.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bracket 10 further includes a reinforcing plate 140, which is disposed on the exoskeleton 120, with a cavity (not shown) formed between the reinforcing plate 140 and the exoskeleton 120. A flexible member 42011 of the flexible transmission assembly 4201 is linked to the movement of the first sliding cover 20. A drive wheel 42021 is provided on the motor shaft of the drive motor 4202, which drives the flexible member 42011 to move. The flexible transmission assembly 4201 is disposed within the cavity, and the drive motor 4202 is disposed within the receiving groove 110a. On the one hand, the reinforcing plate 140 can increase the strength of the exoskeleton 120, ensuring that the exoskeleton 120 has sufficient strength to support the movement of the first sliding cover 20 and the second sliding cover 30, thereby ensuring smooth movement of the sliding cover assembly 100 during opening or closing. On the other hand, the reinforcing plate 140 can also provide a good shielding effect, ensuring that the flexible transmission assembly 4201 is not exposed.

[0099] In some embodiments, the reinforcement plate 140 is a reinforced sheet metal.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 12 As shown, the sliding cover assembly 100 further includes an elastic member 90, which is arranged along a first direction. One end of the elastic member 90 is connected to the first sliding cover 20 and the other end is connected to the second sliding cover 30. The elastic member 90 remains straight under normal conditions, which keeps the first sliding cover 20 and the second sliding cover 30 tightly connected, allowing the second sliding cover 30 to better follow the movement of the first sliding cover 20.

[0101] In some embodiments, the elastic member 90 is a spring, a gas spring, etc. For example, when the elastic member 90 is a spring, the first sliding cover 20 is provided with a first hanging column 202 (see Figure 7 ), the second sliding cover 30 is provided with a second hanging column 30c (see Figure 9 ), one end of the spring is hooked on the first hanging post 202, and the other end is hooked on the second hanging post 30c.

[0102] In some embodiments, at least two elastic members 90 are provided spaced apart along the second direction. Figure 12 As shown, there are two elastic members 90 , which are disposed at two ends of the first sliding cover 20 along the second direction.

[0103] In some embodiments, the drive motor 4202 is configured to cause current fluctuations when the resistance increases. The slide assembly 100 further includes a controller 60 electrically connected to the drive motor 4202. When the current fluctuation exceeds a set range, the controller 60 controls the drive motor 4202 to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0104] When the first sliding cover 20 and the second sliding cover 30 encounter resistance, jamming, etc. during the opening and closing process, the resistance of the drive motor 4202 increases, which may cause current fluctuations. When the current fluctuation exceeds the set range, the controller 60 is triggered. The controller 60 controls the drive motor 4202 to rotate in the opposite direction, that is, the first sliding cover 20 and the second sliding cover 30 slide a distance in the direction opposite to the set direction, and then stop working, which can play an anti-pinch function and protect user safety.

[0105] For example, when the first and second sliding covers 20 and 30 are closing from left to right, if they encounter resistance, the resistance of the drive motor 4202 increases, causing current fluctuations. When the current fluctuations exceed a set range, the controller 60 controls the drive motor 4202 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the first and second sliding covers 20 and 30 to slide a short distance (e.g., 20 mm) from right to left, thereby preventing the user's hand from being pinched. It should be noted that the set range of the current fluctuations can be specifically set as needed and will not be described in detail here.

[0106] Specifically, the controller 60 can be connected to a control element in the device in which the sliding cover assembly 100 is used. For example, when the sliding cover assembly 100 is used in a vehicle, the controller 60 can receive an electrical signal command sent by the vehicle to start or stop the drive motor 4202 to open or close the sliding cover assembly 100. Secondly, the controller 60 can also communicate with a smart terminal to open or close the sliding cover. The smart terminal can be a mobile phone, a computer, a vehicle's central control screen, etc. When the smart terminal is a mobile phone, the opening or closing of the sliding cover can be controlled by communicating with the controller 60 through an app.

[0107] In some embodiments, the controller 60 is disposed at the bottom of the receiving groove 110 a.

[0108] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, an inner frame 150 is disposed within the receiving groove 110a. The inner frame 150 is provided with a storage hole 150a extending through the main frame 110. The outer frame 120 abuts against the inner frame 150. The outer frame 120 is provided with a through hole 120a. The through hole 120a corresponds to the storage hole 150a and also corresponds to the second sliding cover 30. The storage hole 150a forms a storage compartment on the main frame 110 for storing items. When the first sliding cover 20 and the second sliding cover 30 are opened, items can be stored in the storage hole 150a.

[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 13 As shown, the sliding cover assembly 100 also includes a first detection member 70 and a second detection member 80. The first detection member 70 is located on the bracket 10 and is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 40. When the sliding cover assembly 100 is in the open state, the second sliding cover 30 can trigger the first detection member 70 to close the drive mechanism 40. The second detection member 80 is located on the bracket 10 and is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 40. When the sliding cover assembly 100 is in the closed state, the first sliding cover 20 can trigger the second detection member 80 to close the drive mechanism 40. The first detection member 70 and the second detection member 80 can perform real-time sensing, ensuring that the first sliding cover 20 and the second sliding cover 30 perform corresponding actions when they are in the specified position, thereby improving the automation and intelligence of the sliding cover assembly 100.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first detection member 70 and the second detection member 80 may be mechanical switches or sensors, wherein the mechanical switch may be a micro switch, and the sensor may be a photoelectric sensor, an infrared sensor, or the like.

[0111] The storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a storage box and the aforementioned sliding cover assembly 100 .

[0112] The bracket 10 of the sliding cover assembly 100 is mounted on the opening of the storage box. The storage device can be a storage box, refrigerator, cup holder, axle pillow box, or a box with a lid. For example, if the storage device is a car refrigerator, the sliding cover assembly 100 can serve as the lid of the car refrigerator.

[0113] According to the storage device of the embodiment of the present invention, the sliding cover assembly 100 is provided to ensure that the sliding cover moves smoothly and with a relatively small amplitude during opening and closing, does not occupy too much space, and can improve the user experience.

[0114] A vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the aforementioned storage device.
