[0040] The invention provides an electric glove box.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 8In an embodiment of the present invention, the electric glove box includes a box frame 20, a box cover 30, an electric lock mechanism 60 and an unlocking push block 50; the box frame 20 is fixedly arranged on the automobile dashboard 10 and is provided with an unlocking through hole 21; the box cover 30 includes a connected box outer plate 31 and a box bucket 32, the box bucket 32 ​​is rotatably connected to the box frame 20, and has a closed position embedded in the box frame 20, in which the box outer plate 31 abuts against the box frame 20, and a gap 40 connected to the unlocking through hole 21 is left at the interface with the automobile dashboard 10; the electric lock mechanism 60 is arranged on the side of the box frame 20 away from the box outer plate 31, and the electric lock mechanism 60 includes a locking assembly 61, which is used to lock the box bucket 32 ​​to the box frame 20; the unlocking push block 50 is arranged corresponding to the unlocking through hole 21, and is fixedly connected to the locking assembly 61, so as to drive the locking assembly 61 and the box bucket 32 ​​to unlock each other by acting on the unlocking push block 50 to move. This can simplify the structure, reduce assembly steps and reduce space occupancy, while improving the convenience and reliability of users unlocking the electric glove box in the event of a power outage.

[0042] The glove box is an important component of the automobile instrument system and is the main storage space on the automobile. It is usually arranged on the side of the automobile dashboard 10 facing the co-pilot. The electric glove box is assembled to the automobile dashboard 10 through a box frame 20, wherein the box frame 20 is formed with a receiving cavity to provide space for the rotation and accommodation of the box cover 30.

[0043] The box cover 30 includes an outer plate 31 and a box bucket 32, wherein the box bucket 32 ​​can be hinged to the lower edge frame of the box frame 20. The outer plate 31 and the box bucket 32 ​​are an integrated structure, which is convenient for the box bucket 32 ​​to rotate relative to the box frame 20. When the box bucket 32 ​​rotates into the accommodating cavity of the box frame 20, the outer plate 31 moves accordingly and abuts against the upper edge frame of the box frame 20, thereby realizing the closing of the box cover 30.

[0044] The electric lock mechanism 60 is arranged on the side of the box frame 20 away from the box outer panel 31, and includes a locking component 61. The locking component 61 can move relative to the box frame 20 and further fix the box bucket 32 ​​and the box frame 20 to prevent the box cover 30 from opening during the operation of the vehicle. Since the electric lock mechanism 60 needs to be powered on to realize the movement of the locking component 61, when the vehicle is powered off or fails to power on, the locking component 61 cannot be driven to move, resulting in the electric glove box being unable to open. Therefore, the present application opens an unlocking through hole 21 on the box frame 20, and An unlocking push block 50 corresponding to the unlocking through hole 21 is provided on the locking component 61, so that when the outer panel 31 of the box abuts against the box frame 20, the unlocking through hole 21 can at least partially face the gap 40 at the interface between the outer panel 31 of the box and the car dashboard 10, thereby shortening the communication channel between the gap 40 and the unlocking through hole 21, so that the user can use items around him, such as keys, cards, etc., to directly extend into the unlocking through hole 21 through the gap 40, and move the unlocking push block 50, thereby moving the locking component 61 to achieve the separation and unlocking of the locking component 61 and the box 32.

[0045] A gap 40 is left at the interface between the outer panel 31 of the box and the car dashboard 10, that is, there is a certain distance between the outer panel 31 of the box and the car dashboard 10. The setting of the gap 40 not only facilitates the smooth rotation of the box cover 30, but also effectively reduces the noise generated by the contact between the outer panel 31 and the car dashboard 10 when it approaches and moves away from the box frame 20, prolongs the life of the outer panel 31 and the car dashboard 10, and can also reveal the unlocking hole 21, which is convenient for users to mechanically open the box cover 30. At the same time, due to the installation position of the electric glove box on the car dashboard 10 and the specific position of the gap, when the passenger sits on the vehicle seat, the opening position of the unlocking hole 21 cannot be directly observed, so that it can achieve a better hiding effect, thereby meeting the aesthetic requirements of the vehicle interior design.

[0046] The unlocking hole 21 is arranged on the box frame 20, the process is simple, and there is no need to add subsequent assembly steps, wherein the unlocking hole 21 is an elongated hole extending along the width direction of the box frame 20, such as a waist-shaped hole or a square hole, and the width can be set according to the specific unlocking stroke between the locking component 61 and the box bucket 32, or it can be set in the width direction of the box frame 20 so that a certain distance is left between the two ends of the elongated hole and the two opposite sides of the box frame 20. Such a setting makes it convenient for the tool to push the unlocking push block 50 along the elongated hole, and unlock the locking component 61 and the box bucket 32 ​​from each other.

[0047] The unlocking push block 50 can be formed on the locking component 61 by, for example, integral molding, bonding, etc., and is arranged near the unlocking through hole 21, so that it is convenient to quickly act on the unlocking push block 50 through the unlocking through hole 21, thereby reducing the possibility of unlocking the electric glove box by removing the surrounding trim of the glove box, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of users unlocking the electric glove box; the unlocking push block 50 occupies a smaller space on the side of the box frame 20 away from the box outer panel 31, so that the overall space occupied by the electric lock mechanism 60 and the unlocking push block 50 changes little. Compared with setting a button structure, a pull rope structure, etc. in the electric glove box to realize the unlocking operation of the locking component 61 and the box bucket 32, the structure is simple, and no other connecting structure is required, such as the connecting structure between the button and the locking component 61, and the connecting structure between the pull rope and the locking component 61, to assist in the realization of the unlocking operation. There is no need for parts arranged on the back of the box frame 20 to provide avoidance space for the realization of the unlocking operation, which effectively reduces the assembly steps and reduces the occupied space to facilitate the layout of other parts and the realization of other functions.

[0048] The technical solution of the present invention is to open an unlocking hole 21 on the box frame 20, and set an unlocking push block 50 corresponding to the unlocking hole 21 on the locking assembly 61, so that when the outer panel 31 of the box abuts against the box frame 20, through the gap 40 at the interface between the outer panel 31 and the car dashboard 10, the user can use a tool to directly reach into the unlocking hole 21 and move the unlocking push block 50, thereby moving the locking assembly 61 to achieve the separation and unlocking of the locking assembly 61 and the box 32.

[0049] Among them, when the box outer plate 31 is in contact with the box frame 20, the unlocking hole 21 is connected to the gap 40, and from the perspective of the passenger sitting on the vehicle seat, the opening position of the unlocking hole 21 cannot be directly observed, so that its hiding effect can be achieved, thereby meeting the aesthetic requirements of the vehicle interior design. In addition, since the unlocking push block 50 is arranged close to the unlocking hole 21, it can not only improve the convenience and reliability of the user unlocking the electric glove box; it can also simplify the unlocking structure and reduce the assembly steps while meeting the unlocking requirements of the electric glove box in the case of power failure, ensuring that the overall space occupied by the electric lock mechanism 60 and the unlocking push block 50 is as small as possible, reducing the space occupancy rate.

[0050] Optionally, in one embodiment, in the closed position, the unlocking via 21 is at least partially exposed in the gap 40, and the height range of the unlocking via 21 partially exposed in the gap 40 is a, and a is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm. It can be understood that the unlocking via 21 can be fully exposed in the gap 40, and the minimum height dimension of the unlocking via 21 is 0.5 mm, and the maximum height dimension is set by the specific width of the gap 40, wherein the specific width of the gap 40 depends on the processing materials and processing technology of the box outer panel 31 and the automobile dashboard 10.

[0051] Specifically, when a is less than 0.5 mm, due to the small size, the tool that can be inserted into the unlocking hole 21 is very likely to be insufficiently strong, resulting in the inability to reliably find and push the unlocking push block 50, or special tools are needed to meet the insertion requirements and structural strength requirements. Such a setting can easily reduce the convenience and reliability of unlocking.

[0052] The unlocking via 21 is partially exposed in the gap 40, that is, the minimum height dimension of the unlocking via 21 is the sum of the height dimension exposed in the gap 40 and the height dimension blocked. At this time, the maximum height dimension of the unlocking via 21 can be the area of ​​the box frame 20 corresponding to the unlocking push block 50, that is, the maximum height of the upper frame of the box frame 20. It can also be set according to factors such as aesthetics, that is, while meeting the tool insertion requirements and strength requirements, ensure that the parts arranged on the side of the box frame 20 away from the box outer panel 31 are not excessively exposed in the unlocking via 21.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment, the unlocking push block 50 is at least partially exposed in the unlocking through hole 21, so that the user can easily find it and use a tool to push the side wall of the unlocking push block 50, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of unlocking.

[0054] In another embodiment, the unlocking push block 50 is close to the edge of the unlocking through hole 21 and hidden on the side of the box frame 20 away from the box outer panel 31, which effectively reduces the possibility of accidentally touching the unlocking push block 50. At the same time, it is convenient for the user to subjectively use tools to push the unlocking push block 50 to move, thereby realizing the separation and unlocking of the locking component 61 and the box bucket 32.

[0055] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a push groove 51 is provided on the surface of the unlocking push block 50 facing the box frame 20, so that the user can insert a tool into the push groove 51 and push the unlocking push block 50 to move through the push groove 51, thereby improving the driving effectiveness. In addition, the setting of the push groove 51 also facilitates the demoulding of the unlocking push block 50, effectively reducing the possibility of cracks, breakage, etc.

[0056] Reference Figures 3 to 5In one embodiment, the locking assembly 61 includes a first interlocking locking rod 611 and a second interlocking locking rod 612 which are connected in a transmission manner. Both the first interlocking locking rod 611 and the second interlocking locking rod 612 can pass through the box frame 20 and respectively lock and unlock with two opposite sides of the box bucket 32. The unlocking push block 50 is provided on at least one of the first interlocking locking rod 611 and the second interlocking locking rod 612. It can be understood that the first interlocking locking rod 611 and the second interlocking locking rod 612 are symmetrically arranged and are connected in a transmission manner through a linkage 613. In this way, by triggering one of the first interlocking locking rod 611 and the second interlocking locking rod 612, the other of the first interlocking locking rod 611 and the second interlocking locking rod 612 can move toward or away from the first interlocking locking rod 611, thereby locking and unlocking the locking assembly 61 and the two opposite sides of the box bucket 32, thereby reliably fixing and separating the box bucket 32 ​​from the box frame 20. The linkage 613 can be a linkage mechanism such as a gear rack set and a rocker assembly, as long as it can realize the linkage of the first interlocking locking rod 611 and the second interlocking locking rod 612.

[0057] Specifically, one unlocking push block 50 may be provided, and it is located at the first interlocking lock rod 611 or the second interlocking lock rod 612, and in this case, one unlocking through hole 21 is correspondingly provided; two unlocking push blocks 50 may be provided, and the two unlocking push blocks 50 are respectively provided at the first interlocking lock rod 611 and the second interlocking lock rod 612, and in this case, two unlocking through holes 21 are correspondingly provided. Of course, the two unlocking through holes 21 may also be provided in communication, so that one of the first interlocking lock rod 611 and the second interlocking lock rod 612 can be moved through the unlocking push block 50, and the other of the first interlocking lock rod 611 and the second interlocking lock rod 612 can be moved accordingly through the linkage of the linkage 613.

[0058] Reference Figures 6 to 8 In one embodiment, locking holes 331 are provided on two opposite sides of the box bucket 32, and the first interlocking locking rod 611 and the second interlocking locking rod 612 can be respectively inserted into the corresponding locking holes 331. By inserting the first interlocking locking rod 611 and the second interlocking locking rod 612 into the two locking holes 331 on the box bucket 32 ​​accordingly, it is beneficial to uniformly apply force to the box bucket 32 ​​and facilitates improving the connection stability between the box bucket 32 ​​and the box frame 20.

[0059] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the box 32 is provided with a reinforcing plate 33, and a locking hole 331 is formed in the reinforcing plate 33, wherein the box 32 is provided with an installation position, and the reinforcing plate 33 can be assembled to the installation position of the box 32 by buckling, embedding, etc., effectively enhancing the structural strength at the installation position, and compared with directly opening the locking hole 331 in the box 32, the locking hole 331 located in the reinforcing plate 33 has better structural stability, effectively preventing excessive wear and deformation of the locking hole 331 during long-term use, and also facilitating later disassembly and maintenance. Among them, the locking hole 331 can be configured as a polygonal hole or a circular hole.

[0060] Reference Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the electric lock mechanism 60 further includes a drive assembly 62, which is drivingly connected to one of the first interlocking lock rod 611 and the second interlocking lock rod 612, has a compact structure and efficient driving, and realizes electric unlocking of the electric glove box.

[0061] Specifically, in one embodiment, the driving assembly 62 includes a driving motor 621 and a driving rod 622. The driving motor 621 is fixedly connected to the box frame 20. One end of the driving rod 622 is transmission-connected to the driving motor 621, and the other end extends toward one of the first interlocking locking rod 611 and the second interlocking locking rod 612. Driven by the driving motor 621, the driving rod 622 supports and drives one of the first interlocking locking rod 611 and the second interlocking locking rod 612 to move.

[0062] Among them, the driving motor 621 is fixed to the side of the box frame 20 away from the box outer panel 31 by bolting or the like, and is transmission-connected with a driving rod 622 extending in a direction close to one of the first interlocking lock rod 611 and the second interlocking lock rod 612. When the glove box is closed, if the electric glove box is to be opened, the driving motor 621 is energized to push the second interlocking lock rod 612 as an example. At this time, under the driving action of the driving motor 621, the driving rod 622 approaches the second interlocking lock rod 612 until it supports the second interlocking lock rod 612. The driving rod 622 continues to move, thereby pushing the second interlocking lock rod 612 to move, and through the linkage 613, the first interlocking lock rod 611 moves in the opposite direction, so that the first interlocking lock rod 611 and the second interlocking lock rod 612 are separated from the lock hole 331 on the box bucket 32, thereby realizing the mutual unlocking of the locking assembly 61 and the box bucket 32.

[0063] Since the driving rod 622 is separately arranged from the first interlocking locking rod 611 or the second interlocking locking rod 612, when the power is off, the tool only needs to drive the first interlocking locking rod 611 or the second interlocking locking rod 612 to move through the unlocking push block 50, and there is no need to increase the force applied to the unlocking push block 50 due to the corresponding resistance. This is labor-saving and convenient, effectively improving the convenience and reliability of unlocking, and reducing the risk of structural fracture of the unlocking push block 50 due to excessive force.

[0064] Optionally, in one embodiment, the automobile instrument panel 10 includes an instrument panel lower body and a middle trim panel 11, the box frame 20 is fixedly arranged on the instrument panel lower body, the middle trim panel 11 is connected to the instrument panel lower body and is located above the box frame 20, and in the closed position, a gap 40 is left between the box outer panel 31 and the middle trim panel 11. It can be understood that the box frame 20 is provided with the above-mentioned unlocking hole 21 on the upper frame near the middle trim panel 11. Taking the perspective of a passenger sitting on a vehicle seat as an example, when the box outer panel 31 is in the closed position, the unlocking hole 21 will be blocked by the middle trim panel 11, and the unlocking hole 21 is at least partially exposed in the gap 40, and the passenger cannot directly observe the unlocking hole 21. In this way, the hiding effect of the unlocking hole 21 can be enhanced to meet the aesthetic requirements of the vehicle interior design. At the same time, when there is a need to open the electric glove box in a power-off state, it is only necessary to use the tools around you to pass through the gap 40 and the unlocking hole 21 in turn, and push the unlocking push block 50 with the tools. The unlocking operation is simple and convenient.

[0065] The present invention also proposes a car, which includes an electric glove box. The specific structure of the electric glove box refers to the above embodiment. Since the car adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] The above descriptions are only optional embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
