AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The existing glove box is too large, taking up legroom in the front passenger seat, resulting in poor passenger comfort, and it cannot accommodate footrests or zero-gravity seats.
Method used
Design a glove box that can retract laterally, using a lateral sliding mechanism and drive system. The lateral movement of the glove box is achieved through slide rails and sliding frames. Combined with the design of the protective shell and door, the glove box can be hidden or revealed.
Benefits of technology
It improves passenger comfort by providing extra legroom and space for footrests or zero-gravity seats, while concealing the glove box when not in use, balancing storage and comfort needs.
