Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of automotive parts, and more particularly to a highly protective tabletop storage box assembly. Background Technology

[0002] A car table storage box assembly refers to a storage space in a car, commonly found in buses or large vehicles, used to store tabletops. When needed, such as for work or dining, the tabletop is opened from the storage box, and after use, it is stored back in the box. Most existing table storage boxes are one-piece molded mechanisms. When the tabletop is large, demolding these one-piece boxes is inconvenient, or even impossible, affecting normal production and use. However, the existing publication CN111422361A provides a seat dining table and an aviation seat containing it. The seat dining table includes a panel, a base plate, and several connecting parts. The base plate is connected to the underside of the panel via connecting parts, which can move towards or away from the panel. Connecting the base plate to the underside of the panel via connecting parts increases the storage area of ​​the seat dining table, providing extra space for other items during meals and avoiding inconvenience to passengers. Furthermore, the connector can move in a direction away from or towards the panel, allowing the base plate to move in the same direction. This provides extra storage space between the base plate and the panel when in use, allowing for the storage of other items. When not in use, the base plate and the panel can fit together to increase passenger seating space and improve passenger comfort. It is mainly used in the aviation industry. Although it can store the table, it still cannot effectively solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] This application provides a highly protective tabletop storage box assembly, which solves the problem in the prior art where large-volume storage boxes cannot be easily demolded during the one-piece molding process due to their large volume, resulting in low production capacity. The specific technical concept is to separate the storage box into a left side and a right side for separate production. After the left and right sides are produced, they are assembled to form the main body of the storage box, thereby achieving efficient production of the storage box.

[0030] However, since the improved storage box consists of two parts, a gap will appear between the left and right sides. During vehicle operation, vibrations can cause abnormal noises between the two parts. For existing storage box structures that are assembled, a sealing ring is used at the joint to address this issue, which solves the noise problem. However, since the storage box is used in conjunction with a table, when the table is heavy and stored in the storage box, vibrations from vehicle operation can still cause the table to vibrate or rub inside the storage box, still producing abnormal noises and affecting usability. The present application provides a pad structure inside the main body of the storage box. When the table is stored, the pad structure supports one end of the table, preventing vibration and abnormal noises. The table is located in the connecting groove above the left side, while the pad structure is located inside the right side. The triangular stability structure formed by the table, the left side, and the pad structure effectively improves the connection stability between the left and right sides, reducing abnormal noises caused by their relative movement. Specific embodiments are as follows:

[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a high-protection tabletop storage box assembly, including a left side part 1 and a right side part 2. The left side part 1 and the right side part 2 are connected by a connector 5 to form a storage box body 3. Compared with the one-piece molded storage box structure in the prior art, the storage box body 3 formed by splicing the left side part 1 and the right side part 2 is easier to produce and easier to demold, which is beneficial for assembly and use.

[0032] The storage box body 3 has a depth greater than 198mm, which allows the storage box body 3 to have a larger volume for placing larger tabletops. The upper end of the storage box body 3 is provided with a connecting groove for connecting with the tabletop. Specifically, the connecting groove is located at the upper end of the left side part 1. The tabletop is provided with a hinge rod that is hinged to the connecting groove to realize the storage and unfolding of the tabletop.

[0033] At least one pad structure 4 is snapped into the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage box body 3. The pad structure 4 cushions the tabletop after it is opened. In this embodiment, since the tabletop is relatively short, a pad structure 4 is provided and installed on the right side 2. When the tabletop is stored, one end of the tabletop is placed on top of the pad structure 4. The pad structure 4 is made of soft rubber material at least on its upper surface, which can effectively wrap and fix one end of the tabletop, reducing the noise caused by the tabletop bumping or colliding with the storage box when stored, and improving the use effect. Since the connecting groove of the tabletop is located at the upper end of the left side and the pad structure 4 is located at the lower end of the right side 2, the left side 1, the tabletop and the pad structure 3 form a stable triangular structure, which can strengthen the connection between the left side 1 and the right side 2, and greatly reduce the noise caused by the relative movement of the two.

[0034] Further, refer to Figures 5-7 The upper surface of the pad structure 4 has a groove structure 41 with an arc-shaped opening edge. The groove structure 41 can fit into the bottom of the tabletop, better limiting and fixing one edge of the tabletop. This prevents the tabletop from wobbling and colliding with the side wall of the storage box body 3 during storage, avoiding noise or scratches on the side wall and tabletop caused by long-term friction, which would affect the overall quality and appearance. Furthermore, the pad structure 4 includes a main structure 42, with at least two clips 43 fixed to its bottom. These clips 43 correspond to the locking holes on the lower right side 2 of the storage box body 3, making the pad structure 4 detachable. It can be removed when not in use or when thorough cleaning of the storage box is required.

[0035] Furthermore, at least one side of the pad structure 4 is a flat surface, and the flat surface is in contact with the inner wall of the left side part 1 or the right side part 2. Since the inner wall of the right side part 2 is a flat surface, the flat side of the pad structure 3 can better fit and fix it to the right side wall 2. Due to the supporting effect of the right side wall 2, the relative movement between the pad structure 4 and the right side wall 2 can be reduced, which could cause the table to slide.

[0036] Furthermore, multiple connectors 5 are provided. Connector 5 includes a first connector 51 and a second connector 52 that cooperates with the first connector 51. Multiple first connectors 51 are provided and are evenly distributed on the side and bottom edge of the left side part 1. The second connector 52 is provided in the same number as the first connector 51 and is evenly distributed on the side and bottom edge of the right side part 2. The first connector 51 can be a snap-fit, while the second connector 52 is a protruding structure that cooperates with the snap-fit. Through the cooperation of the two, a more stable connection between the left side part 1 and the right side part 2 can be achieved. Furthermore, connecting component 1 51 and connecting component 2 52 are staggered on the side and bottom edges of the left side part 1 and the right side part 2. Connecting component 1 51 of the left side part 1 corresponds to connecting component 2 52 of the right side part 2, and connecting component 1 51 of the right side part 2 corresponds to connecting component 2 52 of the left side part 1. This staggered arrangement can avoid the situation where the left side part 1 and the right side part 2 separate when subjected to force in a certain direction, which would be caused by all connecting components 1 51 or connecting components 52 being placed on the same side. The staggered arrangement can further improve the stability of the connection between the left side part 1 and the right side part 2.

[0037] Furthermore, connecting plates 6 are fixed to the outer sides of both the left side 1 and the right side 2. The outer surface of the connecting plates 6 is made of suede, which can improve the tactile feel of the entire storage box 3 and thus enhance the user experience.

[0038] Furthermore, the upper edge and lower edge of the storage box body 3 are provided with connecting slots 7. The connecting slots 7 are connected to external fixing devices. The storage box body 3 can be stably installed in the corresponding position through the connecting slots 7. The fixing devices are structures such as the side of a car seat.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
