Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive interior accessories, and in particular to the design of a storage device for in-vehicle umbrellas. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of domestically produced new energy vehicles, automotive interior accessories are becoming increasingly luxurious, and competition among OEMs for the research and development of various configurations is intensifying, with in-depth research focused on each configuration to showcase the high-end nature of automobiles. Umbrellas are commonly used rain gear on rainy days. Currently, most car manufacturers provide recessed areas on car doors for storing umbrellas, which is quite conventional. However, the moisture from the umbrella connects with the passenger compartment, increasing its size and making it feel even wetter and more uncomfortable on rainy days. Furthermore, water from the umbrella often drips onto the feet when placed there. On the other hand, umbrellas placed on car doors appear rather messy. For example, Chinese Patent Database publication number CN216231995U describes an umbrella fixing structure on a car door panel. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-end umbrella storage device that can solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing in-vehicle umbrella storage devices that are located in the passenger compartment and appear cluttered when placed on the door panels, this invention provides a high-end umbrella storage device that is separate from the passenger compartment.
[0004] The advantages of this invention are: the separation of the passenger compartment and the umbrella storage area ensures dry and wet separation; the umbrella storage area is hidden and not exposed; the umbrella is securely fixed in the storage compartment, and the side is fixed with limiting parts, so no abnormal noise will be generated.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: a vehicle umbrella storage device, including a storage compartment located on the door panel, an opening provided on the door panel, the storage compartment being inclinedly disposed in the opening, a pop-out device provided at the bottom of the storage compartment, the pop-out device including a bottom cover, including at least one connecting surface connecting the edge of the bottom cover to the bottom edge of the storage compartment, including a guide post located between the connecting surfaces, the lower end of the guide post being fixed on the bottom cover, a spring being sleeved on the guide post, and a pop-out surface, the edge of the pop-out surface being provided with an ear piece sleeved on the guide post, the ear piece being pressed by the spring and having a tendency to move away from the bottom cover; Locking device for the pop-out surface: The locking device includes a lock disc that can be rotatably fixed on the bottom cover. The lock disc has a buckle hole. The bottom of the pop-out surface has a buckle claw that matches the buckle hole. The buckle claw is set in the tangential direction of the lock disc. The locking device also includes a torsion spring. The torsion spring moves the lock disc area toward the buckle claw. The outer end of the buckle claw is a guide slope. When the slope contacts the edge of the buckle hole, it can rotate the lock disc and make the buckle claw finally enter the buckle hole. Unlocking device: The unlocking device includes a protrusion on the edge of the lock disc and a pressing post that cooperates with the protrusion. The lower side of the pressing post is an inclined surface that contacts the side of the protrusion and the length of the inclined surface is greater than the latching surface of the latch claw.
[0006] As one of the preferred solutions for vehicle umbrella storage devices, a damping device is also included, which includes a rack located on the side of the ear piece and a damping gear fixed to the storage compartment and / or the connecting surface.
[0007] To prevent the umbrella from swaying inside the storage compartment, as one of the preferred methods for a vehicle umbrella storage device, an opening is provided on the side of the storage compartment. A limiting component is installed inside the opening, including a limiting block that is hinged on one side to the opening of the storage compartment and extends into the opening. A torsion spring is provided at the hinge axis. The limiting block is hinged to the side near the opening of the storage compartment, and the limiting block is triangular.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, the guide post has reinforcing ribs on its side, and the ear plate through hole has the same shape as the guide post cross-section.
[0009] Preferably, the pop-out surface is connected to the ear piece through an upwardly extending extension surface, and the extension surface has limiting surfaces on both sides that wrap around the spring.
[0010] As one of the preferred solutions for in-vehicle umbrella storage devices, the pressing column extends upwards to the door panel.
[0011] As one of the preferred solutions for in-vehicle umbrella storage devices, the storage compartment is located on the side of the door panel and is set at an angle. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown: Embodiment 1 A vehicle umbrella storage device, the door panel 1 has an opening, the storage compartment 2 is inclinedly set in the opening, the bottom of the storage compartment 2 has a bottom cover 3, the edge of the bottom cover 3 and the bottom edge of the storage compartment 2 are connected by three connecting surfaces 4, the connecting surfaces 4 are provided with guide posts 5, the two ends of the guide posts 5 are respectively fixed to the bottom cover 3 and the side of the storage compartment 2, the bottom cover 3 has a pop-out surface 7, the side of the pop-out surface 7 has an ear piece 71, the ear piece 71 passes through the guide post 5 and is pressed by the spring 72 and has a tendency to move away from the bottom cover 3; The locking device for the pop-out surface 7 includes a locking disc 8 rotatably fixed to the bottom cover 3. The locking disc 8 has a latching hole 81, and the bottom of the pop-out surface 7 has a latching claw 73 that matches the latching hole 81. The latching claw 73 is positioned tangentially to the locking disc 8. The locking device also includes a torsion spring 82, which moves the area of the locking disc 8 towards the latching claw 73. The outer end of the latching claw 73 is a guide slope, which, upon contacting the edge of the latching hole 81, causes the locking disc 8 to rotate and the latching claw 73 to eventually enter the latching hole 81. During locking, the latching hole 81 on the locking disc 8 engages with the latching claw 73 at the bottom of the pop-out surface 7. At this time, the spring 72 is compressed, and the pop-out surface 7 tends to move away from the locking disc 8. The locking disc 8 is pressed onto the bottom cover 3 by a pressure cap 83. The locking disc 8 has an arc-shaped shoulder hole 84, and a fixing post 85 passing through the arc-shaped shoulder hole 84 is provided between the locking disc 8 and the pressure cap 83. The other end of the torsion spring 82 is fixed to the pressure cap 83. It also includes a limiting mechanism to restrict the rotation range of the lock disc. The limiting mechanism ensures that the beveled surface of the latch contacts the edge of the latch hole when it contacts the latch hole. The limiting mechanism consists of a first limiting protrusion 61 on the lock disc 8 and a second limiting protrusion 62 located in the torsion spring driving direction and abutting the limiting protrusion. The second limiting protrusion is located on the bottom cover 3.
[0022] Unlocking device: The unlocking device includes a protrusion 91 located on the edge of the lock disc 8, and a pressing post 92 that cooperates with the protrusion 91. The pressing post 92 extends upward to the door panel 1. The lower side of the pressing post 92 is an inclined surface that contacts the side of the protrusion 91, and the length of the inclined surface is greater than the latching surface of the latch claw 73 that contacts the latch hole 81. When the pressing post 92 is pressed down, the lower side of the pressing post 92 contacts the protrusion 91 on the edge of the lock disc 8, causing the lock disc 8 to rotate, thereby disengaging the latch hole 81 from the latching surface of the latch claw 73 and causing the pop-out surface 7 to pop out.
[0023] If there is an umbrella inside, it will pop out from the side of the door panel. When the umbrella is inserted, the beveled surface of the latch 73 contacts the edge of the latch hole 81, causing the locking disc 8 to rotate and eventually the latch 73 to enter the latch hole 81. The locking disc 8 is then subjected to the action of the torsion spring 82, which causes the latch 73 to enter the latch hole 81.
[0024] As one of the preferred solutions for the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device, a damping device is also included. The damping device includes a rack 10 located on the side of the ear piece 71 and a damping gear 11 fixed on the connecting surface 4. In this embodiment, the damping gear 11 is disposed on one of the connecting surfaces 4, but it is not limited to the connecting surface 4. It can also be disposed on the side of the storage compartment 2 or between the storage compartment 2 and the connecting surface 4, which will not be elaborated here.
[0025] In this embodiment, three connection surfaces 4 are used. In actual implementation, four, five or even more can be used, but this will not be elaborated here.
[0026] In this embodiment, the guide post 5 is provided with reinforcing ribs on its side, and the through hole of the ear piece 71 is the same shape as the cross-section of the guide post 5.
[0027] Example 2 is an improvement on Example 1. To prevent the umbrella from shaking inside the storage compartment 2 and making noise upon contact, an opening 21 is provided on the side of the storage compartment 2. A limiting member is provided inside the opening 21. The limiting member includes a limiting block 22 that is hinged on one side to the opening 21 and extends into the opening 21. A torsion spring is provided at the hinge. The limiting block 22 is hinged to the side near the opening of the storage compartment 2. The limiting block 22 is triangular and includes an inclined surface that contacts the umbrella when it is inserted, an inclined surface that contacts the side when the umbrella is removed, and an inclined surface that contacts the edge of the opening 21.
[0028] Example 3 is an improvement on Example 1. The pop-out surface 7 is connected to the ear piece 71 through an upwardly extending extension surface 101. Limiting surfaces 102 that wrap around the spring 72 are provided on both sides of the extension surface 101. The connection between the extension surface 101 and the ear piece 71 effectively prevents the pop-out surface 7 from getting stuck between the pop-out surface 7 and the guide post 5 due to lateral tilting.
[0029] For ease of description, the technical features of some dependent claims are combined in the same embodiment without going into too much detail. This does not mean that these technical features are necessary. Those skilled in the art can make changes based on the content of this patent and the actual situation. It should be noted that whether the above modifications infringe on any rights should be determined by the scope of the claims.
