Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a storage structure, floor assembly, and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of vehicles, storage structures are often incorporated into the interior to increase storage space.

[0003] Currently, most storage structures in vehicle interiors are fixedly located on the dashboard, between the two front seats, and on the door trim panels. Regardless of whether the storage structures are in use, they occupy space in the vehicle interior, making the interior feel cramped and affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a storage structure, a floor assembly, and a vehicle. When the storage structure is applied to a vehicle, it can be stored under the vehicle floor when not in use, without occupying interior space and improving the user experience.

[0005] This application provides a storage structure in which the first edge of the cover plate is rotatably connected to the vehicle floor at a mounting opening in the vehicle floor, and the mounting opening is provided to penetrate the vehicle floor in a vertical direction.

[0006] The linkage component is rotatably connected to the cover plate at a predetermined position away from the first edge, the linkage component is slidably connected to the box body along the first horizontal direction, and the linkage component and the box body abut against each other along the vertical direction;

[0007] When at least part of the linkage component is located above the vehicle floor, an angle is formed between the cover plate and the vehicle floor, and the box body is inserted through the mounting opening; when the linkage component is located below the vehicle floor, the cover plate is flush with the vehicle floor and covers the mounting opening, and the box body is located below the vehicle floor.

[0008] In the storage structure described above, the linkage component includes a first connecting segment and a second connecting segment connected together, wherein the first connecting segment forms an angle with the second connecting segment on one side of the second connecting segment;

[0009] The cover plate also has a second side disposed opposite to the first side, the predetermined position is located between the first side and the second side, the first connecting segment is rotatably connected to the cover plate at the predetermined position, and the second connecting segment is slidably connected to the box body along the first horizontal direction; the cover plate can swing relative to the first connecting segment and drive the linkage component to reciprocate along the vertical direction.

[0010] In the storage structure described above, a guide structure is provided between the second connecting section and the box body. The guide structure includes a first guide member and a second guide member that slide together in a first horizontal direction and abut against each other in the vertical direction. The first guide member is installed in one of the second connecting section and the box body, and the second guide member is installed in the other of the second connecting section and the box body.

[0011] In the storage structure described above, the first guide is a guide groove extending along the first horizontal direction;

[0012] The second guide is a strip-shaped guide block extending along the first horizontal direction. A portion of the guide block is slidably embedded in the guide groove, and the two sides of the guide block along the vertical direction respectively abut against the two side walls of the guide groove along the vertical direction.

[0013] Alternatively, the second guide member includes at least two guide posts spaced apart along the first horizontal direction, a portion of each guide post being slidably embedded in the guide groove, and each guide post abutting against the two side walls of the guide groove along the vertical direction on both sides of the vertical direction.

[0014] In the storage structure described above, the second connecting segment extends along the first horizontal direction.

[0015] In the storage structure described above, the linkage component further includes a third connecting segment, one end of which is connected to the first connecting segment, the second connecting segment, or the connection between the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment, and the third connecting segment forms an angle with the first connecting segment on the other side of the second connecting segment;

[0016] The storage structure also includes a reset component, which has a fixed end and a movable end. The movable end is connected to the third connecting section. During the process of the storage structure switching from the storage state to the use state, the reset component can be stretched along the vertical direction to generate elastic deformation.

[0017] In the storage structure described above, the reset assembly includes a movable rod, a fixed rod, and an elastic element. One end of the movable rod is rotatably connected to the third connecting section, and the other end of the movable rod is rotatably connected to one end of the fixed rod. The fixed rod extends along the first horizontal direction. Both ends of the elastic element are movably connected to the center positions of the movable rod and the fixed rod, respectively. During the process of the storage structure switching from the storage state to the use state, the distance between the position where the elastic element is connected to the movable rod and the position where the elastic element is connected to the fixed rod increases, and the elastic element can be stretched along the vertical direction to generate elastic deformation.

[0018] In the storage structure described above, the cover plate is connected to the box body on both sides of the second horizontal direction via the linkage member; the vertical direction, the first horizontal direction, and the second horizontal direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0019] In the storage structure described above, the sidewall of the box body includes at least two annular walls. The end of the annular wall near the opening of the box body is a first end, and the end of the annular wall near the bottom of the box body is a second end. Along the direction from the first end to the second end, the radial dimension of each annular wall gradually decreases, and the radial dimension of the first end of each annular wall is greater than the radial dimension of the second end of the annular wall sleeved on its outer side. In the storage state, each annular wall is coaxially sleeved. In the use state, at least a portion of the annular wall extends outward from the cover plate to the outside of the annular wall sleeved on its outer side.

[0020] The storage structure described above further includes a bottom shell, the top of which has an opening and is connected to the vehicle floor. The opening communicates with the mounting port, and at least a portion of the box body extends through the mounting port into the interior of the bottom shell.

[0021] The bottom plate of the box is connected to the innermost annular wall, and the bottom plate of the box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom shell.

[0022] In the storage structure described above, the interior of the bottom shell has a stepped surface facing the opening, and in the retracted state, a portion of the cover plate near the second edge covers the stepped surface;

[0023] A locking assembly is provided between the cover plate and the step surface. The locking assembly includes a first locking member and a second locking member that can lock each other. The first locking member is located in one of the cover plate and the step surface, and the second locking member is located in the other of the cover plate and the step surface.

[0024] In the storage structure described above, a switch is provided on the side surface of the cover plate that is flush with the vehicle floor. The switch is connected to the locking assembly, and the locking between the first locking member and the second locking member can be released by operating the switch.

[0025] In the storage structure described above, a buffer is provided between the cover plate and the bottom shell.

[0026] This application also provides a floor assembly, wherein the floor assembly includes the storage structure described above.

[0027] This application also provides a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes the storage structure described above or the floor assembly described above.

[0028] The storage structure, floor assembly, and vehicle provided in this application embodiment are installed on the vehicle floor. When items need to be retrieved or placed, the cover is flipped, causing it to swing away from the vehicle floor. This allows a predetermined position on the cover for contact with the linkage component to be displaced vertically, thereby causing the linkage component and the box that abuts against the linkage component vertically to move vertically. This allows a portion of the box to extend through the mounting opening above the vehicle floor, facilitating the user's retrieval of items. In the non-use state, the cover is flipped, causing it to swing towards the vehicle floor until it is flush with the vehicle floor. At this point, the box and linkage component are stored under the vehicle floor, without occupying space in the vehicle interior, thus improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0040] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0041] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0042] The terms "up" and "down" used in the application documents to indicate direction are defined according to the vehicle's height: the top of the vehicle is "up," and the bottom of the vehicle is "down."

[0043] The terms "vertical direction X," "first horizontal direction Y," and "second horizontal direction Z" appearing in the application documents are merely for the purpose of more clearly describing the specific structure of the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and this application is not limited thereto. For example, when the storage structure is applied in a vehicle, the vertical direction X is approximately the height direction of the vehicle, the first horizontal direction Y is approximately the length direction of the vehicle, and the second horizontal direction Z is approximately the width direction of the vehicle. Optionally, the vertical direction X, the first horizontal direction Y, and the second horizontal direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application embodiment provides a storage structure, wherein the storage structure is installed on the vehicle floor 8. The storage structure includes a cover plate 1, a box body 2, and a linkage component 3. The box body 2 is a box-shaped or cylindrical structure with an open top and a closed bottom, forming a recessed accommodating space for placing items. The cover plate 1 can cover the opening at the top of the box body 2 to close the accommodating space, preventing items in the accommodating space from moving to the outside of the box body 2 unnecessarily through the opening at the top of the box body 2. The linkage component 3 is used to connect the cover plate 1 and the box body 2, and also drives the box body 2 to reciprocate along the vertical direction X during the movement of the cover plate 1, so that the opening and closing of the cover plate 1 is linked to the lifting and lowering of the box body 2.

[0045] Specifically, the vehicle floor 8 has an installation opening 81 that extends vertically X through the vehicle floor 8. The first edge of the cover plate 1 is rotatably connected to the vehicle floor 8 at the installation opening 81. The shape and size of the cover plate 1 are adapted to the shape and size of the installation opening 81 to ensure that the cover plate 1 can be embedded in the installation opening 81 to fully cover the installation opening 81 and cooperate with the vehicle floor 8 to provide a flat surface.

[0046] The linkage component 3 is rotated and connected to the cover plate 1 at a predetermined position away from the first edge, so as to ensure that the predetermined position has displacement along the vertical direction X during the flipping process of the cover plate 1, thereby realizing that the cover plate 1 drives the linkage component 3 to reciprocate along the vertical direction X.

[0047] The linkage component 3 and the box body 2 are slidably connected along the first horizontal direction Y. When the cover plate 1 swings back and forth relative to the vehicle floor 8 and drives the linkage component 3 to move, the linkage component 3 has displacement along both the vertical direction X and the first horizontal direction Y. By making the linkage component 3 and the box body 2 slide together along the first horizontal direction Y, when the linkage component 3 has displacement along the first horizontal direction Y, it can move relative to the box body 2, so that the box body 2 does not move in the first horizontal direction Y. At the same time, the linkage component 3 and the box body 2 abut against each other along the vertical direction X. When the linkage component 3 moves along the vertical direction X, the box body 2 can move back and forth along the vertical direction X under the drive of the linkage component 3.

[0048] When at least part of the linkage component 3 is above the vehicle floor 8, the cover plate 1 forms an angle with the vehicle floor 8, and the box 2 passes through the mounting opening 81; when the linkage component 3 is below the vehicle floor 8, the cover plate 1 is flush with the vehicle floor 8 and covers the mounting opening 81, and the box 2 is below the vehicle floor 8.

[0049] That is, the storage structure has a storage state and a use state. In the storage state, the cover plate 1 is flush with the vehicle floor 8 and covers the installation port 81. The box body 2 is located below the vehicle floor 8 to achieve the concealment of the box body 2, so that the box body 2 will not occupy the space above the vehicle floor 8 in the storage state.

[0050] In use, the cover 1 swings relative to the vehicle floor 8, forming an angle between the cover 1 and the vehicle floor 8, so that the opening at the top of the box 2 is exposed, making it convenient for consumers to take and put in items. At the same time, during the swinging process, the predetermined position where the cover 1 is in contact with the linkage component 3 is displaced in the vertical direction X, thereby driving the linkage component 3 and the box 2, which is in contact with the linkage component 3 in the vertical direction X, to move in the vertical direction. This causes the box 2 to pass through the mounting opening 81, that is, a part of the box 2 moves upward to above the vehicle floor 8, thereby reducing the distance between the box 2 and the consumer and further improving the convenience for consumers to take and put in items.

[0051] Optionally, the cover 1 can be opened to be perpendicular to the vehicle floor 8 to ensure that the projection of the cover 1 in the vertical direction X is offset from the projection of the box 2, so that the cover 1 will not block the opening at the top of the box 2, thereby improving the convenience for consumers to take and put items in the box 2.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the storage structure provided includes a linkage component 3 comprising a first connecting segment 31 and a second connecting segment 32 fixedly connected together. The first connecting segment 31 forms an angle with the second connecting segment 32 on one side. Both the first connecting segment 31 and the second connecting segment 32 are rod-shaped structures, and the first connecting segment 31 and the second connecting segment 32 are connected in a zigzag shape.

[0053] The cover plate 1 also has a second side disposed opposite to the first side. The first side and the second side are the two sides of the cover plate 1 along the first horizontal direction Y when it is in the storage state. The predetermined position is located between the first side and the second side. The end of the first connecting segment 31 away from the second connecting segment 32 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 1 at the predetermined position. The second connecting segment 32 is slidably connected to the box body 2 along the first horizontal direction Y. When the cover plate 1 swings back and forth around the first side, the predetermined position is displaced along the vertical direction X, so that the first connecting segment 31 swings and drives the second connecting segment 32 to move back and forth simultaneously along the vertical direction X and the first horizontal direction Y, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the box body 2 along the vertical direction X.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the storage structure provided includes a guide structure 4 between the second connecting section 32 and the box body 2. The guide structure 4 includes a first guide member 41 and a second guide member 42 that slide together along the first horizontal direction Y and abut against each other along the vertical direction X. The first guide member 41 is installed in one of the second connecting section 32 and the box body 2, and the second guide member 42 is installed in the other of the second connecting section 32 and the box body 2.

[0055] Optionally, the first guide member 41 is a guide groove extending along the first horizontal direction Y; the second guide member 42 is a strip-shaped guide block extending along the first horizontal direction Y, a portion of the guide block is slidably embedded in the guide groove, and the two sides of the guide block along the vertical direction X respectively abut against the two side walls of the guide groove along the vertical direction X; or, the second guide member 42 includes at least two guide posts spaced apart along the first horizontal direction Y, a portion of each guide post is slidably embedded in the guide groove, and the two sides of each guide post along the vertical direction X respectively abut against the two side walls of the guide groove along the vertical direction X.

[0056] By setting a strip-shaped guide block extending along the first horizontal direction Y as the second guide 42, or by using at least two guide posts spaced apart along the first horizontal direction Y as the second guide 42, it can be effectively ensured that the second connecting section 32 and the box 2 can only have relative displacement along the first horizontal direction Y, and cannot move relative to each other in other directions, thus preventing the second connecting section 32 from flipping over and affecting its driving of the box 2 along the vertical direction X.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the storage structure includes a second connecting segment 32 extending along a first horizontal direction Y. An angle greater than 90° and less than 180° is formed between the first connecting segment 31 and the second connecting segment 32. This ensures that the first connecting segment 31 extends upwards towards the cover plate 1, effectively pushing against the end of the first connecting segment 31 away from the second connecting segment 32 during the reciprocating swing of the cover plate 1, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the reciprocating movement of the cover plate 1 driving the linkage member 3 along the vertical direction X.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the storage structure includes a third connecting segment 33 in the linkage component 3. One end of the third connecting segment 33 is connected to the connection between the first connecting segment 31, the second connecting segment 32, or the connection between the first connecting segment 31 and the second connecting segment 32. The third connecting segment 33 forms an angle with the first connecting segment 31 on the other side of the second connecting segment 32. The first connecting segment 31, the second connecting segment 32, and the third connecting segment 33 are integrally formed. The first connecting segment 31, the second connecting segment 32, and the third connecting segment 33 generally form a Y-shaped structure with three ends. One end is connected to the cover plate 1, another end is connected to the box body 2, and the third end is used to connect to the reset component 5.

[0059] The storage structure also includes a reset component 5, which has a fixed end and a movable end. The movable end is connected to the third connecting section 33. During the process of switching the storage structure from the storage state to the use state, the reset component 5 can be stretched in the vertical direction X to produce elastic deformation. In the use state, a force is applied to the cover 1 to move it towards the box 2, so that the cover can automatically return to being flush with the vehicle floor 8 under the action of this force, completing the process of switching the storage structure from the use state to the storage state.

[0060] Optionally, the fixed end of the reset component 5 can be connected to a fixed plate, and the fixed plate and the vehicle floor 8 are spaced apart along the vertical direction X. In the storage state, the box 2 is located between the fixed plate and the vehicle floor 8.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the embodiment of this application, the storage structure includes a reset component 5 comprising a movable rod 51, a fixed rod 52, and an elastic element 53. One end of the movable rod 51 is rotatably connected to the third connecting section 33, and the other end of the movable rod 51 is rotatably connected to one end of the fixed rod 52. The fixed rod 52 is connected to a fixed plate and extends along the first horizontal direction Y. Both ends of the elastic element 53 are movably connected to the center position of the movable rod 51 and the center position of the fixed rod 52, respectively. This ensures that during the process of switching the storage structure from a storage state to a use state, the distance between the position where the elastic element 53 is connected to the movable rod 51 and the position where the elastic element 53 is connected to the fixed rod 52 increases, thereby stretching the elastic element 53 to produce elastic deformation along the vertical direction X, so that the elastic element 53 can provide the movable rod 51 with a force that moves along the vertical direction X toward the fixed rod 52.

[0062] Optionally, in the storage structure provided in this application embodiment, the cover plate 1 is connected to the box body 2 on both sides of the second horizontal direction Z by linkage members 3, so as to provide effective connection and support for the box body 2 and the cover plate 1 through the two linkage members 3, and ensure that the cover plate 1 and the box body 2 are subjected to uniform force during movement.

[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the storage structure provided includes a box body 2 whose side wall includes at least two annular walls 21. The end of the annular wall 21 near the opening of the box body 2 is the first end, and the end of the annular wall 21 near the bottom of the box body 2 is the second end. Along the direction from the first end to the second end, the radial dimension of each annular wall 21 gradually decreases, and the radial dimension of the first end of each annular wall 21 is greater than the radial dimension of the second end of the annular wall 21 fitted on its outer side. In the storage state, each annular wall 21 is coaxially fitted, and the interior of the innermost annular wall 21 can be used to hold items. In the use state, at least a portion of the annular wall 21 extends outward toward the outer side of the annular wall 21 fitted on its outer side in a direction away from the cover plate 1, so that the side wall of the box body 2 unfolds downward to form a frustum or truncated pyramid structure, thereby increasing the internal storage space of the box body 2.

[0064] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the storage structure further includes a bottom shell 9. The top of the bottom shell 9 has an opening that connects to the vehicle floor 8 and is connected to the mounting opening. Optionally, in the vertical direction, the projection of the mounting opening falls into the projection of the opening, or the projection of the mounting opening coincides with the projection of the opening. At least a portion of the box body 2 is disposed inside the bottom shell 9 through the mounting opening. The bottom shell 9 can protect the box body 2.

[0065] The bottom plate of box 2 is connected to the innermost annular wall, and the bottom plate of box 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom shell 9. This fixes the bottom of box 2 and ensures that box 2 can be smoothly stretched and unfolded to form an effective accommodating space during the opening and closing of cover 1.

[0066] Optionally, the bottom plate of the bottom shell 9 can serve as the fixing plate in the above embodiments.

[0067] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the storage structure provided has a stepped surface 91 facing the opening inside the bottom shell 9. In the stored state, a portion of the cover plate 1 near the second side covers the stepped surface 91.

[0068] A locking assembly 6 is provided between the cover plate 1 and the step surface 91. The locking assembly 6 includes a first locking member 61 and a second locking member 62 that can lock each other. The first locking member 61 is located in one of the cover plate 1 and the step surface 91, and the second locking member 62 is located in the other of the cover plate 1 and the step surface 91, thereby realizing the locking between the cover plate 1 and the box body 2 and preventing the cover plate 1 from separating from the box body 2 unnecessarily, which would cause the items inside the box body 2 to fall out.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the storage structure provided has a switch 11 on the side surface of the cover plate 1 that is flush with the vehicle floor 8. The switch 11 is connected to the locking assembly 6, and the lock between the first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62 can be released by operating the switch 11.

[0070] Optionally, the first locking element 61 can be a buckle, and the second locking element 62 can be a locking hole. The buckle and the locking hole can be separated by operating the switch 11 to unlock them.

[0071] Optionally, the first locking element 61 can be an electromagnet, and the second locking element 62 can be an iron sheet. The electromagnet can be de-energized by operating the switch 11 to make the electromagnet lose its magnetism, thereby releasing the lock between the first locking element 61 and the second locking element 62.

[0072] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the storage structure provided has a buffer 7 between the cover plate 1 and the bottom shell 9. The buffer 7 can provide a buffer for the cover plate 1 during the process of switching the storage structure from the use state to the storage state, so as to prevent the cover plate 1 from being closed forcefully and generating noise.

[0073] This application embodiment also provides a floor assembly, wherein the floor assembly includes the storage structure described above.

[0074] The floor assembly provided in this application embodiment has a storage structure in the storage state, with the cover plate flush with the floor and the box body stored under the floor; in the use state, the cover plate and the linkage component can drive the box body to move upward, so that a part of the box body extends through the installation opening to the top of the floor, providing storage space for consumers and thus improving the consumer's user experience.

[0075] This application also provides a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes the storage structure described above or the floor assembly described above.

[0076] In the vehicle provided in this application embodiment, the storage structure of the floor assembly is in the stored state, with the cover plate flush with the floor and the box body stored under the floor; in the use state, the cover plate and the linkage component can drive the box body to move upward, so that a part of the box body extends through the installation opening to the top of the floor, providing storage space for consumers and thus improving the consumer's user experience.

[0077] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the term "comprising" or any other variations thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
