Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle component technology, and in particular to a body component and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of cars, people have higher and higher requirements for them. Among these, the problem of in-car garbage disposal has always been a concern for many users. In the current technology, users usually attach disposable garbage bags or hang plastic garbage cans in the car to collect garbage. However, the attached disposable garbage bags are easy to fall off and scatter garbage in the car, and the plastic garbage cans will take up the already cramped interior space. All of these will affect the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle body component that allows for better utilization of interior space and enhances the user experience when collecting garbage.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a vehicle body component, which is applied to a vehicle. The vehicle body component includes a main body, a mounting base, and a bin. The main body has an opening corresponding to the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The mounting base is movably disposed in the opening, having a closed position for covering the opening and an open position for opening the opening. The bin is disposed on the mounting base and is used to collect garbage. In the closed position, the bin is housed within the opening, and in the open position, the bin is exposed outside the opening.

[0005] Optionally, the bin is foldable; in the open position, the bin unfolds to form a storage cavity for collecting garbage; in the closed position, the bin folds.

[0006] Optionally, the sidewall of the barrel includes at least four flaps, and two adjacent flaps are rotatably connected by at least one hinge so that the barrel is foldable.

[0007] Optionally, one side wall of the barrel is rotatably connected to the mounting base, so that the barrel can be rotated to a position with the opening facing upward when unfolded, and can be rotated to a position that fits against the mounting base when folded.

[0008] Optionally, the mounting base is rotatably connected to the cavity wall of the oral cavity.

[0009] Optionally, the barrel body is detachably connected to the mounting base.

[0010] Optionally, in the closed position, the mounting base engages with the opening.

[0011] Optionally, the vehicle body component includes a snap-fit ​​element and a push-pull structure. The snap-fit ​​element is disposed on the mounting base, and the push-pull structure is disposed on the cavity wall of the opening. The push-pull structure has an extended state corresponding to the open position and a retracted state corresponding to the closed position. When the push-pull structure is in the extended state and is subjected to the resistance of the snap-fit ​​element, the push-pull structure can switch to the retracted state, thereby engaging the snap-fit ​​element with the push-pull structure. When the push-pull structure is in the retracted state and is subjected to the resistance of the snap-fit ​​element, the push-pull structure switches to the extended state, thereby lifting the mounting base.

[0012] Optionally, the mounting base includes a main body and a protective flange provided on the edge of the main body, the barrel is connected to the main body, and the protective flange is bent relative to the main body.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting base is further provided with a support protrusion, which is provided opposite to and spaced apart from the barrel body to form a space for accommodating the mobile phone between the support protrusion and the barrel body. The mobile phone can be placed on the mounting base at an angle to the horizontal plane with the support of the support protrusion and the barrel body.

[0014] The present invention also proposes a vehicle comprising the aforementioned body components.

[0015] The technical solution of this invention involves movably connecting the mounting base to an opening in the passenger compartment, allowing the mounting base to have both a closed and an open position. When the mounting base is in the closed position, the bin is housed within the opening, with the mounting base closing the opening to minimize damage to the structural surfaces of the vehicle's interior, thus avoiding impact on the overall vehicle design and user experience. When the mounting base is in the open position, it opens the opening to expose the bin and allow for the collection of waste. After waste collection, the mounting base closes the opening again, returning to the closed position. This prevents the bin from occupying interior space when the user does not need to collect waste. In this way, the vehicle body component of this invention improves the utilization efficiency of interior space and ensures a better user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0027] This invention proposes a vehicle body component.

[0028] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The vehicle body component is used in a vehicle and includes a main body, a mounting base 200, and a bin 300. The main body has an opening 100 corresponding to the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The mounting base 200 is movably disposed in the opening 100 to have a closed position for closing the opening 100 and an open position for opening the opening 100. The bin 300 is disposed on the mounting base 200 for collecting garbage. In the closed position, the bin 300 is housed in the opening 100, and in the open position, the bin 300 is exposed outside the opening 100.

[0029] The technical solution of this invention movably connects the mounting base 200 to the opening 100 in the passenger compartment, so that the mounting base 200 has a closed position and an open position. When the mounting base 200 is in the closed position, the bin 300 is housed in the opening 100, and the mounting base 200 closes the opening of the opening 100, thereby minimizing damage to the structural surface of the inner side of the vehicle body and avoiding affecting the overall vehicle shape and user experience. When the mounting base 200 is in the open position, the mounting base 200 opens the opening 100 to expose the bin 300 and allow it to collect garbage. After collecting the garbage, the mounting base 200 closes the opening 100 again to return to the closed position, preventing the bin 300 from occupying interior space when the user does not need to collect garbage. In this way, the vehicle body component of this invention improves the utilization efficiency of interior space and ensures the user experience.

[0030] In the passenger compartment, the main body can be a door, a seat, or a fixed seat under the seat. In this embodiment, the main body is a center armrest 500, and the opening 100 is located at the end of the center armrest 500 near the rear seat for the convenience of passengers. Furthermore, when the mounting seat 200 is in the closed position, that is, when the mounting seat 200 covers the opening of the opening 100, the opening 100 and the mounting seat 200 form a sealed cavity. When the mounting seat 200 is in the open position, that is, when the mounting seat 200 opens the opening 100, the cavity of the opening 100 is exposed to the vehicle interior environment, and the opening of the opening 100 is oriented towards the direction of movement of the mounting seat 200, so that the mounting seat 200 can switch between the closed and open positions.

[0031] It is understood that the mounting base 200 can be rotatably or slidably connected to the opening 100, which can give the mounting base 200 a closed position and an open position. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4The mounting base 200 is rotatably connected to the cavity wall of the opening 100. Without sacrificing its generality, the mounting base 200 rotates in a vertical plane. Simultaneously, the opening 100 on the central handle 500 has a clearance opening and a bearing surface. The clearance opening is vertically oriented and communicates with a horizontally opening at the top of the opening 100, ensuring that the mounting base 200 can smoothly rotate from the closed position to the open position, thus facilitating user operation. Furthermore, when the mounting base 200 is in the open position, it abuts against the bearing surface, ensuring that one side of the mounting base 200 connecting to the bin 300 is flush with the horizontal plane, guaranteeing that the bin 300 remains horizontally stable when collecting waste and is less likely to fall. Of course, in other embodiments, the opening 100 is located at the door, and the mounting seat 200 rotates on one side of the opening of the opening 100 in a horizontal or vertical plane. When the mounting seat 200 rotates in the horizontal direction, a bearing surface for the bearing body 300 is provided on the lower side of the mounting seat 200, so that when the mounting seat 200 is in the open position, the opening of the body 300 can be set upward, so as to ensure that the body 300 is in a horizontal and stable state when collecting garbage.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting base 200 is rotatably connected to the opening 100 via a rotating shaft 250. The rotating shaft 250 is located near the opening on the inner wall of the opening 100 to ensure that the mounting base 200 can be stably connected to the opening 100. When the mounting base 200 is in the open position, the bearing surface can provide effective support for the mounting base 200.

[0033] When the mounting base 200 is in the closed position, it can engage or insert with the opening 100 to prevent it from detaching from the opening 100 and thus avoiding it falling out of the opening 100 when there is no need to collect garbage, thereby affecting the use of the vehicle's interior space. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 At the closed position, the mounting base 200 is snapped into the opening 100 to improve the stability of the mounting base 200 at the closed position.

[0034] The mounting base 200 can be engaged with the opening 100 in its direction of movement, or it can be engaged in a direction intersecting the opening 100 in its direction of movement. When the mounting base 200 needs to be switched from the closed position to the open position, an actuating part can be provided on the mounting base 200. An external force is applied to the actuating part to switch the mounting base 200 to the open position. Alternatively, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4The vehicle body component includes a snap-fit ​​element 240 and a push-pull structure 400. The snap-fit ​​element 240 is disposed on the mounting base 200, and the push-pull structure 400 is disposed on the cavity wall of the opening 100. Thus, the push-pull structure 400 has an extended state corresponding to the open position and a retracted state corresponding to the closed position. When the push-pull structure 400 is in the extended state and is subjected to the resistance of the snap-fit ​​element 240, the push-pull structure 400 can switch to the retracted state, causing the snap-fit ​​element 240 to engage with the push-pull structure 400. When the push-pull structure 400 is in the retracted state and is subjected to the resistance of the snap-fit ​​element 240, the push-pull structure 400 switches to the extended state, lifting the mounting base 200. In this way, through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​element 240 and the push-pull structure 400, the user can easily switch the mounting base 200 between the open and closed positions to effectively utilize the interior space.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a torsion spring (not shown) is also provided at the pivot 250. The elastic arms at both ends of the torsion spring abut against the cavity walls of the mounting seat 200 and the opening 100, respectively. When the mounting seat 200 is switched from the closed position to the open position, the torsion spring will lift the mounting seat 200 from the opening 100, so that the mounting seat 200 rotates around the pivot 250 to the open position, thereby reducing the difficulty of operating the vehicle body parts of the present invention and improving the user's operating convenience.

[0036] For the bin body 300, the connection between the bin body 300 and the mounting base 200 can be fixed, detachable, or rotatable. In one embodiment, the bin body 300 is detachably connected to the mounting base 200. Thus, when the mounting base 200 is in the open position, the bin body 300 can collect garbage on the mounting base 200, or it can detach from the mounting base 200 and move to the location where the user needs to collect garbage, thereby improving the flexibility of using this vehicle body component.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4The bin 300 is foldable. In the open position, the bin 300 unfolds to form a storage cavity for collecting garbage. In the closed position, the bin 300 folds. It can be understood that when the mounting base 200 is housed within the opening 100, the bin 300 is in a folded state to reduce the space occupied by the bin 300 within the opening 100, thus reducing the internal space of the opening 100 and minimizing damage to the original vehicle body caused by the newly installed bin 300. When the mounting base 200 is in the open position, the bin 300 unfolds, and the resulting storage cavity meets the needs for collecting garbage. Furthermore, the lower side of the bin 300 can have a bottom wall, or the mounting base 200 can be used directly as the bottom wall, with garbage bags placed inside the storage cavity to hold garbage. Of course, in other embodiments, the bin 300 may not be folded, and the depth of the space within the opening 100 containing the bin 300 is adapted to the height of the bin 300.

[0038] Specifically, the barrel body 300 can be folded vertically or horizontally. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 The sidewall of the barrel 300 includes at least four flaps 310, forming a triangular storage space. Adjacent flaps 310 are rotatably connected by at least one hinge 320, allowing the barrel 300 to be foldable. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the barrel 300 folds horizontally. The sidewall of the barrel 300 includes six flaps 310 arranged in a square. In the unfolding direction of the barrel 300, each of the opposite sidewalls has two flaps 310, and the two flaps 310 form a sidewall through at least one hinge 320. The opposite sides of the two flaps 310 are connected to the adjacent sidewall through at least one hinge 320. This ensures that the barrel 300 can be folded smoothly, and the folded barrel 300 can achieve a minimum thickness in its unfolding direction, further reducing the volume of the opening 100.

[0039] When the barrel 300 is folded horizontally, regardless of whether the mounting base 200 and the opening 100 are slidably or rotatably connected, the opening 100 has a clearance groove corresponding to the barrel 300 in the closed position to ensure that the mounting base 200 in the closed position can seal the opening of the opening 100. In this embodiment, please continue to refer to... Figures 1 to 4One side wall of the barrel body 300 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 200, so that the barrel body 300 can rotate to a position with the opening facing upwards when unfolded, and can rotate to a position that fits against the mounting base 200 when folded. Without loss of generality, in the unfolding direction of the barrel body 300, one side wall of the barrel body 300 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 200 via a hinge 320, so that when in the open position, the barrel body 300 can rotate to a position that unfolds smoothly, and when in the closed position, the barrel body 300 can rotate to a position that fits against the mounting base 200, ensuring that the shape of the opening 100 is a regular cuboid shape, which facilitates the processing of the vehicle body. At the same time, when the barrel body 300 rotates to the position that fits against the mounting base 200, the possibility of the barrel body 300 being damaged by external objects during the switching between the open and closed positions can be reduced. Of course, in other embodiments, the barrel body 300 can remain fixedly connected to the mounting base 200.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In the open position, the mounting base 200 supports the bin 300. Without loss of generality, in this embodiment, the bin 300 is vertically continuous, and its side walls form a storage cavity that restricts the garbage bag 700 to collect garbage. In this embodiment, the mounting base 200 can also prevent garbage leaking from the garbage bag 700 from falling off the mounting base 200 and polluting the vehicle interior. The mounting base 200 includes a main body 210 and a protective flange 220 located on the edge of the main body 210. The bin 300 is connected to the main body 210, and the protective flange 220 is bent from the main body 210. In the open position, the bin 300 is essentially installed within the groove formed by the protective flange 220 on the main body 210. Thus, even if the garbage bag 700 leaks, the leaked garbage will be contained within the main body 210 by the protective flange 220, preventing pollution of the vehicle interior. In addition, the folded barrel 300 is housed in a protective groove formed by the protective flange 220 to prevent the barrel 300 from being damaged by foreign objects during the switching between the open and closed positions.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4The mounting base 200 also features a support protrusion 230, which is positioned opposite and spaced apart from the barrel 300 to create a space between the support protrusion 230 and the barrel 300 for accommodating the mobile phone 600. Supported by the support protrusion 230 and the barrel 300, the mobile phone 600 can be placed on the mounting base 200 at an angle to the horizontal plane. Thus, when the mounting base 200 is in the open position, the mobile phone 600 can be placed on the support protrusion 230 and stably supported by the barrel 300. This allows passengers to place their mobile phone on the mounting base 200 during travel, satisfying their needs for watching videos and enhancing the passenger experience. Furthermore, a charging port can be provided on the mounting base 200, allowing the mobile phone 600 to be charged and used while placed on the mounting base 200.

[0042] Specifically, in a direction parallel to the side wall of the barrel 300, the support protrusions 230 can be arranged in a row to form a space for placing the mobile phone 600 between the row of support protrusions 230 and the barrel 300; the support protrusions 230 can also be arranged in two rows to form a space for placing the mobile phone 600 between the two rows of support protrusions 230.

[0043] The present invention also proposes a vehicle, which includes a body component. The specific structure of the body component is as described in the above embodiments. Since the vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0044] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
