Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicle technology, specifically relating to an armrest box and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In a car, the armrest box is a car accessory installed between two seats, which serves to support the occupant's arm and provide storage.

[0003] In related technologies, armrest boxes have a two-sided opening function to meet the usage needs of occupants on both sides. Armrest boxes with this two-sided opening function utilize locking rods on both sides of the lid. These locking rods can lock the lid to the body of the armrest box and also allow the lid to flip over on the body.

[0004] In the armrest box, the pusher is connected to the locking lever. Pushing the pusher on one side of the cover disengages the locking lever from the box, unlocking the cover. The box can then be opened by flipping one side of the cover. However, the pusher must remain in the pushed position to keep the cover unlocked, which can make opening the box inconvenient. If the pusher is not kept in the pushed position, the locking lever may reset during the flipping process, returning the cover to the locked position. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problem that opening the box is inconvenient because the pusher needs to be kept in a pushing state to flip the cover, this application provides a handrail box and a vehicle.

[0006] In a first aspect of this application, an armrest box is provided, comprising:

[0007] Box;

[0008] A cover is provided on the box body and has a mounting cavity;

[0009] Two flipping components are both located inside the mounting cavity and are respectively located on both sides of the cover. Each flipping component includes a pusher and a locking rod. The pusher is movably located on the cover along a direction that is angularly set with respect to the rotation axis of the locking rod. The locking rod passes through the cover and extends into the housing. The pusher and the locking rod are connected in a driving manner.

[0010] Two limiting members are provided in the mounting cavity to limit the rotation axis direction of the locking rod;

[0011] When one of the pushers is moved, the locking rod corresponding to the pusher moves along the rotation axis to a position where it is disengaged from the box. The limiting member limits the rotation axis of the locking rod so that the cover is unlocked from the box. The cover and the two flipping components rotate around the rotation axis of the other locking rod to open the box.

[0012] In some embodiments, the locking rod includes a transmission part, a contact part, and a locking part connected in sequence. The transmission part is pulsatorically connected to the pusher, the locking part extends into the housing, and the contact part limits the movement of the locking rod along the rotation axis direction to the rotation axis direction of the limiting member.

[0013] In some embodiments, the locking rod includes a pivot and a connecting rod, one end of the pivot is connected to the middle of the connecting rod, the locking part is located at the other end of the pivot, and the transmission part and the contact part are respectively located at both ends of the connecting rod.

[0014] In some embodiments, the limiting member is movably mounted on the cover to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the limiting member is in the locked position, it limits the locking rod. When the limiting member is in the unlocked position, it releases the limiting member from the locking rod.

[0015] In some embodiments, the cover is provided with a guide groove;

[0016] The limiting member includes a guide portion and a limiting portion. The guide portion is movably disposed in the guide groove, and the limiting portion is correspondingly disposed with the locking rod. When the limiting member is in the locked position, the limiting portion limits the locking rod. When the limiting member is in the unlocked position, the limiting portion releases the limiting of the locking rod.

[0017] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the guide portion passes through the cover and is correspondingly disposed with the housing. When the cover is closed, the bottom end of the guide portion abuts against the housing, so that the limiting member moves from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0018] The flipping assembly further includes a first reset member connected between the limiting member and the cover, for providing a driving force for the limiting member to move from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0019] In some embodiments, the armrest box further includes a rotating seat matching the number of locking rods, the locking rods extending into the rotating seat.

[0020] In some embodiments, the rotating seat includes:

[0021] seat body;

[0022] A bushing is rotatably disposed within the seat body, and the locking rod is connected to the bushing;

[0023] The second reset element, connected between the bushing and the seat, provides a driving force for the cover to rotate around another locking rod when the cover is unlocked from the housing.

[0024] In some embodiments, four rotating seats are provided, and each of the flipping components is provided with two locking rods. The two locking rods are located on both sides of the pusher, and the four rotating seats are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the four locking rods.

[0025] In some embodiments, the pushers of the two flipping components are arranged opposite each other, and the gap between the two pushers is not less than the stroke of the pushers and less than twice the stroke of the pushers.

[0026] In some embodiments, the flipping assembly further includes a third reset member disposed between the locking rod and the cover, which provides a driving force for the locking rod to move along the rotation axis to a position disengaged from the housing.

[0027] In some embodiments, the flipping assembly further includes a fourth reset member disposed between the pusher and the cover, for providing a driving force for the pusher to move in the opposite direction of the pushing direction.

[0028] In a second aspect of this application, a vehicle is provided that includes the aforementioned armrest box.

[0029] According to one or more embodiments of this application, a center console and vehicle are provided. To enable the center console lid to open from both sides, a flip-up assembly is provided on the lid. The flip-up assembly is installed in a mounting cavity within the lid, thus achieving installation of the flip-up assembly on the lid. Two flip-up assemblies are provided, respectively located on both sides of the lid, so that the lid can be opened from both sides of the center console using the flip-up assemblies on both sides.

[0030] The flipping assembly includes a pusher and a locking rod. The locking rod passes through the cover and extends into the box, connecting the cover and the box together and enabling the cover to flip on the box. The pusher is driven to the locking rod. By pushing one of the flipping assemblies, the corresponding locking rod can be moved along the rotation axis to a position detached from the box, thus unlocking the cover. At this time, the locking rod of the other flipping assembly remains connected between the cover and the box, rotating the cover and both flipping assemblies around the rotation axis of the locking rod, thereby opening the box. It should be noted that the locking rod is not necessarily a straight rod structure. When the locking rod is a straight rod structure, its axis is in the direction of the rotation axis; when the locking rod is not a straight rod structure, its axis is not necessarily in the direction of the rotation axis. Furthermore, since the pusher is driven to the locking rod, by pushing the pusher, the corresponding locking rod can be moved along the rotation axis to a position detached from the box, unlocking the cover. Conversely, by pulling the pusher, the locking rod corresponding to the pusher can be moved along the rotation axis to the position where it extends into the box, thus locking the cover to the box.

[0031] The positions of the pushers of the flipping components correspond to the positions of the flipping components themselves. The two flipping components are positioned on both sides of the cover, that is, on the two sides of the cover that need to be opened on the box. Therefore, the pushers of the two flipping components are located on the same two sides. When one side of the cover needs to be opened, pushing the pusher on the same side will open that side of the cover. When opening one side of the cover, that side of the cover rotates around the other side, meaning the rotation axis of the locking lever is perpendicular to the direction of the two sides of the cover that need to be opened. Therefore, in order to position the pushers of the two flipping components on the two sides of the cover that need to be opened on the box, and to ensure the transmission connection between the pushers and the locking lever, the movement direction of the pushers is angled to the rotation axis of the locking lever.

[0032] Based on the above configuration, during the opening of the box, the pusher needs to be kept in a pushed state to keep the lid and box unlocked, thus making it inconvenient to open the box. If the pusher is not kept in a pushed state, the locking lever may reset during the lid flipping process, causing the lid and box to return from the unlocked state to the locked state. Therefore, a limiting component is installed in the mounting cavity of the lid, and each locking lever of the two flipping components is also equipped with a corresponding limiting component. The limiting component can limit the rotation axis direction of the locking lever. Thus, when the pusher of one of the two flipping components is pushed, the locking lever corresponding to that pusher moves along the rotation axis direction to the position detached from the box, and the limiting component limits the rotation axis direction of the locking lever. This avoids the locking lever resetting during the lid flipping process. After pushing the pusher, the lid can be flipped directly to open the box, eliminating the need to keep the pusher in a pushed state during the lid flipping process. This improves the convenience of opening the box. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 7 According to a first aspect of this application, an armrest box 10 is provided. Figures 1-3 As shown, the armrest box 10 includes a box body 100, a cover 200, a flip assembly 300, and a limiting member 400.

[0045] In this embodiment, a cover 200 is placed over a box 100, and the cover 200 has a mounting cavity 201. Two flipping components 300 are provided, each located within the mounting cavity 201 and positioned on opposite sides of the cover 200. Each flipping component 300 includes a pusher 310 and a locking rod 320. The pusher 310 is movably disposed on the cover 200 along a direction angled to the rotation axis of the locking rod 320. The locking rod 320 passes through the cover 200 and extends into the box 100. The pusher 310 and the locking rod 320 are connected in a driving manner. Two limiting components 400 are provided, each located within the mounting cavity 201, and each limiting component 400 is used to limit the rotation axis direction of the locking rod 320 of the two flipping components 300.

[0046] When one of the pushers 310 is pushed to move, the locking rod 320 corresponding to the pusher 310 moves along the rotation axis to a position where it is disengaged from the box 100. The limiting member 400 limits the rotation axis of the locking rod 320 so that the cover 200 is unlocked from the box 100. The cover 200 and the two flipping components 300 rotate around the rotation axis of the other locking rod 320 to open the box 100.

[0047] Specifically, to achieve the function of opening the cover 200 of the armrest box 10 from both sides of the box body 100, a flip-up component 300 is provided on the cover 200. The flip-up component 300 is installed in the mounting cavity 201 of the cover 200, thereby achieving the installation of the flip-up component 300 on the cover 200. Two flip-up components 300 are provided, one on each side of the cover 200, so that the cover 200 can be opened from both sides of the box body 100 respectively.

[0048] The flipping assembly 300 includes a pusher 310 and a locking rod 320. The locking rod 320 passes through the cover 200 and extends into the box 100, connecting the cover 200 and the box 100 together and enabling the cover 200 to flip on the box 100. The pusher 310 is kinetically connected to the locking rod 320. By pushing the pusher 310 of one of the two flipping assemblies 300, the locking rod 320 corresponding to that pusher 310 can be moved along the rotation axis to a position detached from the box 100, thereby unlocking the cover 200 from the box 100. At this time, the locking rod 320 of the other flipping assembly 300 remains connected between the cover 200 and the box 100, causing the cover 200 and the two flipping assemblies 300 to rotate around the rotation axis of the locking rod 320, thereby opening the box 100. It should be noted that the locking rod 320 is not necessarily a straight rod structure. When the locking rod 320 is a straight rod structure, its axial direction is in the direction of the rotation axis. However, when the locking rod 320 is not a straight rod structure, its axial direction is not necessarily in the direction of the rotation axis. Furthermore, since the pushing member 310 is connected to the locking rod 320 via a transmission connection, pushing the pushing member 310 can move the locking rod 320 corresponding to it along the rotation axis to a position where it is disengaged from the housing 100, thus unlocking the cover 200 from the housing 100. Conversely, pulling the pushing member 310 can move the locking rod 320 corresponding to it along the rotation axis to a position where it extends into the housing 100, thus locking the cover 200 from the housing 100.

[0049] The positions of the pushers 310 of the flip assembly 300 correspond to the positions of the flip assembly 300. Two flip assemblies 300 are positioned on both sides of the cover 200, that is, on the two sides of the cover 200 on the housing 100 that need to be opened. Therefore, the pushers 310 of the two flip assemblies 300 are positioned on the same two sides. When one side of the cover 200 needs to be opened, that side of the cover 200 can be opened by pushing the pusher 310 on the same side. When one side of the cover 200 is opened, that side of the cover 200 rotates around the other side, meaning the rotation axis of the locking rod 320 is perpendicular to the direction of the two sides of the housing 100 that need to be opened. Therefore, in order to position the pushers 310 of the two flip assemblies 300 on the two sides of the cover 200 that need to be opened on the housing 100, and to ensure the transmission connection between the pushers 310 and the locking rod 320, the moving direction of the pushers 310 is angled to the rotation axis of the locking rod 320.

[0050] Based on the above configuration, during the opening of the housing 100, the pusher 310 needs to be kept in a pushing state to keep the cover 200 and the housing 100 unlocked, thus allowing the cover 200 to be flipped, which causes inconvenience in opening the housing 100. If the pusher 310 is not kept in a pushing state, the locking lever 320 may reset during the flipping of the cover 200, causing the cover 200 and the housing 100 to return from the unlocked state to the locked state. Therefore, a limiting member 400 is provided in the mounting cavity 201 of the cover 200, and each locking lever 320 of the two flipping components 300 is respectively provided with a limiting member 400, which can limit the rotation axis direction of the locking lever 320. Therefore, when one of the two flipping components 300 is pushed to move, the locking rod 320 corresponding to that pushing component 310 moves along the rotation axis to a position disengaged from the housing 100, and the limiting member 400 limits the rotation axis direction of the locking rod 320. This avoids the locking rod 320 resetting during the flipping of the cover 200. After pushing the pushing component 310, the cover 200 can be flipped directly to open the housing 100, eliminating the need to keep the pushing component 310 in a pushing state during the flipping of the cover 200. This improves the convenience of opening the housing 100.

[0051] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the locking bar 320 includes a locking part 321, a contact part 322, and a transmission part 323 connected in sequence. The locking part 321 extends into the housing 100, the transmission part 323 is connected to the pusher 310, and the contact part 322 is limited in the direction of the rotation axis of the limiting member 400 when the locking bar 320 moves along the rotation axis.

[0052] To achieve the following configuration: the locking rod 320 passes through the cover 200 and extends into the housing 100; the locking rod 320 is connected to the pusher 310; and the locking rod 320 is correspondingly positioned with the limiting member 400, a transmission part 323, a contact part 322, and a locking part 321 are provided on the locking rod 320. These parts are connected sequentially, with the transmission part 323 and the locking part 321 located at opposite ends of the locking rod 320, and the contact part 322 located in the middle. Specifically, the transmission part 323 is connected to the pusher 310, the locking part 321 extends into the housing 100, and the contact part 322 corresponds to the limiting member 400. When the pusher 310 is pushed, the pusher 310 acts on the transmission part 323, causing the locking rod 320 to move along the rotation axis direction, the locking part 321 disengages from the housing 100, and the limiting member 400 limits the rotation axis direction of the locking part 321, that is, limits the rotation axis direction of the locking rod 320.

[0053] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the locking rod 320 includes a rotating shaft 324 and a connecting rod 325. One end of the rotating shaft 324 is connected to the middle of the connecting rod 325. The locking part 321 is provided at the other end of the rotating shaft 324. The transmission part 323 and the contact part 322 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting rod 325.

[0054] The locking lever 320, by providing a locking part 321, a contact part 322, and a transmission part 323, achieves the functional effects of the locking lever 320 passing through the cover 200 and extending into the box 100, the locking lever 320 correspondingly positioned with the limiting member 400, and the locking lever 320 being connected to the pushing member 310. To better achieve its functional effects, the locking lever 320 includes a rotating shaft 324 and a connecting rod 325. One end of the rotating shaft 324 is connected to the middle of the connecting rod 325, the locking part 321 is located at the other end of the rotating shaft 324, and the transmission part 323 and the contact part 322 are located at both ends of the connecting rod 325. This allows the connecting rod 325 to be limited in the direction of rotation of the limiting member 400, enabling the limiting member 400 to better limit the locking lever 320. The pivot 324 is primarily used to connect the housing 100 and the cover 200, and to allow the cover 200 to rotate on the housing 100. In other words, different components achieve different functional effects, making the structure of the locking rod 320 more rational and thus better realizing its functional effects.

[0055] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the limiting member 400 is movably installed on the cover 200 to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the limiting member 400 is in the locked position, the limiting member 400 limits the locking rod 320. When the limiting member 400 is in the unlocked position, the limiting member 400 releases the limitation on the locking rod 320.

[0056] By pushing the pusher 310, the locking rod 320 moves along the rotation axis. When the locking rod 320 moves to the position where it is disengaged from the housing 100, the limiting member 400 limits the rotation axis direction of the locking rod 320. To achieve locking and unlocking of the locking rod 320 by the limiting member 400, the limiting member 400 is movably installed on the cover 200. By moving the limiting member 400, it can switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. Furthermore, when the limiting member 400 is in the locked position, it limits the locking rod 320; when it is in the unlocked position, it releases the limitation on the locking rod 320. That is, when the locking rod 320 moves to the position where it is disengaged from the housing 100 along the rotation axis, the limiting member 400 is moved to the locked position to limit the locking rod 320. When it is necessary to reset the locking rod 320, move the limiting member 400 to the unlock position to release the limitation on the locking rod 320, and move the locking rod 320 along the rotation axis to the position where it extends into the housing 100.

[0057] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the cover 200 is provided with a guide groove 202; the limiting member 400 includes a guide part 401 and a limiting part 402. The guide part 401 is movably provided in the guide groove 202, and the limiting part 402 is correspondingly provided with the locking rod 320. When the limiting member 400 is in the locked position, the limiting part 402 limits the locking rod 320. When the limiting member 400 is in the unlocked position, the limiting part 402 releases the limitation on the locking rod 320.

[0058] To enable the movement of the limiting member 400 on the cover 200 and the switching between a locked and unlocked position, a guide groove 202 is provided on the cover 200. The limiting member 400 includes a guide portion 401, which is movably disposed within the guide groove 202. This allows the limiting member 400 to move on the cover 200, and the switching between the locked and unlocked positions is achieved by moving the limiting member 400 to different positions within the guide groove 202. The limiting member 400 also includes a limiting portion 402, which corresponds to the locking lever 320 (contact portion 322). When the limiting member 400 is in the locked position, the limiting portion 402 contacts the locking lever 320; when the limiting member 400 is in the unlocked position, the limiting portion 402 does not contact the locking lever 320. This configuration ensures that when the limit member 400 is in the unlocked position, the limit member 400 will not interfere with the movement of the locking rod 320 along the rotation axis.

[0059] In some implementations, such as Figure 4As shown, the bottom end of the guide portion 401 passes through the cover 200 and is correspondingly disposed with the housing 100. When the cover 200 is closed, the bottom end of the guide portion 401 abuts against the housing 100, so that the limiting member 400 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position. The flipping assembly 300 also includes a first reset member 330, which is connected between the limiting member 400 and the cover 200 and is used to provide the driving force for the limiting member 400 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0060] To enable the switching of the limiting member 400 between the locked and unlocked positions, the bottom end of the guide portion 401 of the limiting member 400 is provided through the cover 200 and correspondingly positioned with respect to the housing 100. Simultaneously, a first reset member 330 is connected between the limiting member 400 and the cover 200. Thus, when the housing 100 needs to be opened, pushing the push member 310 causes the locking rod 320 corresponding to the push member 310 to move along the rotation axis to a position disengaged from the housing 100, thereby unlocking one side of the cover 200 from the housing 100. Under the action of the first reset member 330, the bottom end of the guide portion 401 fully extends out of the cover 200, and the limiting member 400 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, limiting the rotation axis of the locking rod 320. Simultaneously, the cover 200 flips to a certain angle under the abutment of the bottom end of the guide portion 401, facilitating direct opening of the cover 200. When the housing 100 is closed, during the process of closing the cover 200, the bottom end of the guide part 401 abuts against the housing 100, causing the bottom end of the guide part 401 to retract into the housing 100, and the limiting member 400 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, so that the limiting member 400 releases the limiting of the locking rod 320.

[0061] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the armrest box 10 also includes a rotating seat 500, the number of which matches the number of locking rods 320, and the locking rods 320 extend into the rotating seat 500.

[0062] To facilitate a better connection between the locking rod 320 and the housing 100, and to allow the cover 200 to rotate more smoothly on the housing 100, a rotating seat 500 is provided on the housing 100. The rotating seat 500 is positioned in a one-to-one correspondence with the locking rod 320, with the locking rod 320 extending into the rotating seat 500. This allows the rotating seat 500 to connect the locking rod 320 to the housing 100 and to facilitate the rotation of the cover 200 on the housing 100.

[0063] In some implementations, such as Figure 7As shown, the rotating seat 500 includes a seat body 510, a bushing 520, and a second reset member 530. The bushing 520 is rotatably disposed inside the seat body 510. The locking rod 320 (locking part 321) is connected to the bushing 520. The second reset member 530 is connected between the bushing 520 and the seat body 510. When the cover 200 is unlocked from the box 100, it is used to provide a driving force for the cover 200 to rotate around the other locking rod 320.

[0064] To facilitate the flipping of the cover 200 on the housing 100 when the housing 100 is opened, a rotating base 500 is provided, including a base 510 and a second reset member 530. The second reset member 530 is positioned between the locking rod 320 and the base 510 to provide a driving force for the cover 200 to rotate about the rotation axis of the other locking rod 320. Once one side of the cover 200 is unlocked, that side of the cover 200 can rotate about the other side of the cover 200 under the action of the second reset member 530.

[0065] However, since the locking rod 320 needs to move along the rotation axis, the rotating seat 500 also includes a bushing 520. The bushing 520 is rotatably disposed within the seat body 510, and the bushing 520 and the seat body 510 are connected by a second reset member 530. By inserting the locking rod 320 into the bushing 520, the cover 200 and the box body 100 can be locked, or the cover 200 can be flipped on the box body 100; by disengaging the locking rod 320 from the bushing 520, the cover 200 and the box body 100 can be unlocked.

[0066] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, there are four rotating seats 500. Each flipping component 300 is provided with two locking rods 320. The two locking rods 320 are located on both sides of the pusher 310. The four rotating seats 500 and the four locking rods 320 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The locking rods 320 pass through the corresponding rotating seats 500.

[0067] To ensure a stable connection between the cover 200 and the housing 100, and to guarantee the flipping effect of the cover 200 on the housing 100, each flipping assembly 300 is equipped with two locking rods 320, which are respectively located on both sides of the pusher 310. The two locking rods 320 of each flipping assembly 300 extend into the housing 100 to ensure a stable connection between the cover 200 and the housing 100. Simultaneously, the rotation axes of the two locking rods 320 of each flipping assembly 300 are collinear to ensure the flipping effect of the cover 200 on the housing 100.

[0068] In some embodiments, each of the two locking rods 320 of each flipping component 300 may be provided with a limiting member 400, or one of the two locking rods 320 of each flipping component 300 may be provided with a limiting member 400. This application does not limit this.

[0069] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pushers 310 of the two flipping components 300 are arranged opposite each other, and the gap between the two pushers 310 is not less than the stroke of the pushers 310, and less than twice the stroke of the pushers 310.

[0070] To prevent the other side of the cover 200 from being accidentally opened while opening one side, thus causing the entire cover 200 to detach from the housing 100, the pushers 310 of the two flipping components 300 are positioned opposite each other, allowing them to mutually limit each other's movement. The stroke of one pusher 310 is sufficient to move the locking lever 320 along the rotation axis to a position detached from the housing 100. Therefore, the gap between the two pushers 310 is limited to being no less than the stroke of the pusher 310 and no more than twice the stroke of the pusher 310. This ensures that one pusher 310 can complete its full stroke, allowing the corresponding locking lever 320 to move along the rotation axis to a position detached from the housing 100; it also ensures that when one pusher 310 is pushed to its full stroke, the other pusher 310 cannot be pushed to its full stroke, thus preventing the cover 200 from detaching from the housing 100 if both pushers 310 are pressed simultaneously.

[0071] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the flipping assembly 300 also includes a third reset member 340, which is disposed between the locking rod 320 and the cover 200, and is used to provide a driving force for the locking rod 320 to move along the rotation axis to a position away from the box 100.

[0072] To facilitate better disengagement of the locking lever 320 from the housing 100 when unlocking the cover 200, a third reset member 340 is provided. The third reset member 340 is located between the locking lever 320 and the cover 200, providing a driving force for the locking lever 320 to move along the rotation axis to the position disengaged from the housing 100. Pushing the push member 310 causes the locking lever 320 to move along the rotation axis to the position disengaged from the housing 100 under the action of the third reset member 340. Conversely, pulling the push member 310 moves the locking lever 320 along the rotation axis to the position inserted into the housing 100.

[0073] In some implementations, such as Figure 3As shown, the flipping assembly 300 also includes a fourth reset member 350, which is disposed between the pusher 310 and the cover 200, and is used to provide a driving force for the pusher 310 to move in the opposite direction of the push direction.

[0074] To enable the pusher 310 to reset after being pushed (i.e., to pull the pusher 310), a fourth resetter 350 is provided between the pusher 310 and the cover 200. The fourth resetter 350 provides a driving force to the pusher 310 to move in the opposite direction of the pushing direction. Correspondingly, when the fourth resetter 350 drives the pusher 310 to reset in the opposite direction of the pushing direction, the locking lever 320 moves along the rotation axis toward the position extending into the housing 100. In other words, when it is necessary to close the housing 100, the pusher 310 must remain in the pushing state until the cover 200 is completely closed onto the housing 100. Then, the pusher 310 is disengaged from the pushing state, and the pusher 310 resets under the action of the fourth resetter 350, so that the locking lever 320 locks the cover 200 and the housing 100.

[0075] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the size of the portion of the pusher 310 that contacts the locking rod 320 increases along the pushing direction of the pusher 310, so that when the pusher 310 is pushed, the locking rod 320 moves in the direction of disengaging from the housing 100 under the action of the third reset member 340. Conversely, when the pusher 310 moves in the opposite direction of the pushing direction, the pusher 310 pushes the locking rod 320 to move in the direction of extending into the housing 100.

[0076] In other embodiments, racks can be provided on both the pusher 310 and the locking rod 320, and a gear can be provided between the pusher 310 and the locking rod 320, so that the racks of the pusher 310 and the locking rod 320 mesh with the gear for transmission. By controlling the movement of the pusher 310, the movement of the locking rod 320 in the direction of the rotation axis can also be realized.

[0077] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cover 200 is provided with a first guide 240 and a second guide 250. The connecting rod 325 is disposed in the first guide 240 and the first guide 240 guides the connecting rod 325. The rotating shaft 324 is disposed in the second guide 250 and the second guide 250 guides the rotating shaft 324.

[0078] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cover 200 includes an upper cover 210 and a lower cover 220. The upper cover 210 and the lower cover 220 form an installation cavity 201, so that the flipping assembly 300 can be installed on the cover 200 through the structure of the upper cover 210 and the lower cover 220.

[0079] In some embodiments, the flipping assembly 300 is disposed on the lower cover 220, the lower cover 220 is provided with a protrusion structure 230, the protrusion structure 230 of the lower cover 220 covers the rotating seat 500, the locking rod 320 passes through the protrusion structure 230 of the lower cover 220 and extends into the rotating seat 500, and the upper cover 210 is provided with an opening 203 for the pusher 310 to move.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first reset member 330, the second reset member 530, the third reset member 340, and the fourth reset member 350 may be tension springs, torsion springs, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.
