Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a storage structure and its control method, a door interior panel, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Storage structures (such as door umbrella holders) are usually placed in the door map pocket area, which corresponds to the hip area of ​​the occupant in a side collision. This occupies the energy absorption space of the side collision and causes some damage to the hip of the occupant in the event of a side collision. While providing good convenience for the occupants, this design also increases the risk of aggravated injury to the occupant in a side collision. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Optionally, there is a gap between the outer wall of the inner sleeve and the inner wall of the outer sleeve, and the sleeve assembly further includes a limiting pin, which passes through the side wall of the outer sleeve and has one end located in the gap.

[0011] Optionally, the sleeve assembly further includes a push block located between the limiting pin and the venting gasket. The push block is fixedly connected to the extended end and movably connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve and the push block can move simultaneously relative to the outer sleeve until the push block abuts against the limiting pin.

[0012] Optionally, the sleeve assembly further includes a sealing ring located between the outer wall of the push block and the inner wall of the outer sleeve, for achieving a sealed connection between the push block and the inner wall of the outer sleeve;

[0013] And / or the sleeve assembly further includes a sealing gasket, which is connected to both the push block and the sealing ring, and is sealed to the inner wall of the outer sleeve.

[0014] Optionally, the inner wall of the slide groove is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the storage structure further includes a tensioning member located in the slide groove. The tensioning member includes a first tensioning end and a second tensioning end. The first tensioning end is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the second tensioning end is connected to the storage box. The tensioning member can slide along the slide groove under the drive of the storage box until the first tensioning end abuts against the limiting protrusion.

[0015] Optionally, the storage box is connected to the slide rail by a safety pin, and the storage box and the inner sleeve are connected by a mounting block. The safety pin and the mounting block can be sheared off under external force.

[0016] Based on the same inventive concept, a second aspect of this application provides a door interior panel, the door interior panel including a door guard panel and a door inner panel connected to the inside of the door guard panel, the door guard panel and the door inner panel together forming a receiving cavity, the door inner panel having a storage cavity, the receiving cavity including a storage receiving cavity, the storage receiving cavity communicating with the storage cavity, the storage receiving cavity corresponding to the position of the passenger's pelvis, the storage receiving cavity having a storage structure as described in any of the first aspects above, the storage box of the storage structure being able to slide along a slide until it separates from the slide and falls into the storage cavity.

[0017] Based on the same inventive concept, a third aspect of this application provides a vehicle including the door interior panel described in the second aspect above.

[0018] Based on the same inventive concept, a fourth aspect of this application provides a method for controlling the automatic pop-out of the storage structure described in any of the first aspects, comprising:

[0019] In response to receiving a collision signal from a vehicle side door, the system acquires the pelvic position information of the occupant inside the vehicle corresponding to that side door, as well as the position information of the storage structure on that side door.

[0020] In response to the pelvic position information and the storage structure position information meeting the preset pop-out conditions, and the absence of obstacles on the pop-out path of the storage box, the inner sleeve is controlled to move relative to the outer sleeve, and the storage box is driven to slide along the slide groove until the storage box separates from the slide groove and falls into the storage cavity of the vehicle side door.

The storage box can slide along the slide under the action of the inner sleeve until it separates from the slide. In a specific implementation, the storage structure is installed between the door guard panel and the door interior panel of the vehicle door. When a collision occurs, the movement of the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve can be controlled, thereby causing the inner sleeve to drive the storage box to slide along the slide until it separates from the slide. In this way, the falling of the storage box can release the energy-absorbing space inside the door, improve the safety of the occupants, and prevent the occupants from being seriously injured due to insufficient energy-absorbing space.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are only used to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0040] With the advancement of automotive technology, cars are fulfilling more of consumers' usage needs. To provide consumers with a convenient user experience, many OEMs have designed storage structures on car doors (such as umbrella storage structures for umbrellas, tissue storage structures for tissues, or power bank storage structures for power banks), which have been well received by consumers and have become a selling point for some automakers' new models.

[0041] However, storage structures are usually placed in the door pocket area, which corresponds to the hip area of ​​the occupant in a side collision. This occupies the energy absorption space of the side collision and causes some damage to the hip of the occupant in the event of a side collision. While providing good convenience for the occupants, this design also increases the risk of aggravated injuries to the occupant in a side collision.

[0042] In addition, since the storage structure and the door are usually molded as one piece and cannot be disassembled, it is equivalent to incurring an extra cost for consumers who do not need door storage.

[0043] Based on this, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application provides a storage structure 100 applied to a vehicle door interior panel, the vehicle door interior panel including a door guard panel 200 and a door inner panel 300 connected to the inner side of the door guard panel 200, the storage structure 100 including:

[0044] The slide 1 is used to connect with the door panel 200;

[0045] The sleeve assembly 2 includes an inner sleeve 21 and an outer sleeve 22 sleeved on the outer wall of the inner sleeve 21. The inner sleeve 21 is movable relative to the outer sleeve 22. The outer sleeve 22 is used to connect with the inner door panel 300.

[0046] The storage box 3 is connected to both the slide groove 1 and the inner sleeve 21. The storage box 3 can slide along the slide groove 1 under the drive of the inner sleeve 21 until it separates from the slide groove 1.

[0047] Specifically, the slide 1 is used to connect with the door guard plate 200, and the outer sleeve 22 is used to connect with the inner door panel 300. In this way, the storage structure 100 can be firmly set in the cavity formed by the door guard plate 200 and the inner door panel 300, ensuring the stability of the storage structure 100.

[0048] The sleeve assembly 2 includes an inner sleeve 21 and an outer sleeve 22 fitted onto the outer wall of the inner sleeve 21, wherein the inner sleeve 21 is movable relative to the outer sleeve 22. Specifically, the inner sleeve 21 can move relative to the outer sleeve 22 under the action of a driving force. This driving force can be provided by a driving component such as a servo motor, or by the impact force of the high-temperature gas generated after the ignition of the ignition tablet, and is not specifically limited here.

[0049] Storage box 3 is used to store items that users need to place, such as umbrellas, tissues, and power banks. Storage box 3 is slidably connected to the slide groove 1 and connected to the inner sleeve 21. When the car door is impacted, the inner sleeve 21 can move relative to the outer sleeve 22 under the action of driving force. At the same time, the inner sleeve 21 drives the storage box 3 connected to it to slide along the slide groove 1 until the storage box 3 separates from the slide groove 1.

[0050] In this way, when a collision occurs, the driving component can be activated or the ignition tablet can be lit to provide driving force to the inner sleeve 21, which will drive the inner sleeve 21 to move relative to the outer sleeve 22. This will cause the inner sleeve 21 to slide the storage box 3 along the slide rail 1 until it separates from the slide rail 1. The falling of the storage box 3 can release the energy-absorbing space inside the door, improve the safety of the occupants, and prevent the occupants from being seriously injured due to insufficient energy-absorbing space.

[0051] In this application, by setting up the storage structure 100, the user's convenience can be improved. At the same time, the storage box 3 can slide along the slide 1 until it separates from the slide 1, so that in the event of an impact, the storage box 3 can separate from the slide 1 and fall down, releasing the energy-absorbing space inside the door, improving the safety of the occupants and avoiding the risk of aggravated injury to the occupants in a side collision.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The inner sleeve 21 includes an inlet end 212 and an outlet end 213. The inlet end 212 is located inside the outer sleeve 22, and the outlet end 213 is detachably connected to the storage box 3.

[0053] Specifically, the storage box 3 and the extended end 213 of the inner sleeve 21 are connected by a mounting block 5. The mounting block 5 can be weakened and sheared under the action of an external force, which can be the driving force that drives the inner sleeve 21 to move.

[0054] Under normal circumstances, the storage box 3 and the protruding end 213 of the inner sleeve 21 are connected by the mounting block 5 to ensure that the storage box 3 and the inner sleeve 21 remain relatively fixed and to ensure that the storage box 3 will not fall off at will.

[0055] Upon collision, the drive mechanism is activated or the ignition powder is lit, providing a driving force to the inner sleeve 21. This driving force propels the inner sleeve 21 to move away from the outer sleeve 22. Both this driving force and the outward movement of the inner sleeve 21 exert a force on the mounting block 5, weakening it until it is sheared off. Once the mounting block 5 is sheared off, the storage box 3 and the inner sleeve 21 are no longer connected. The storage box 3 continues to move away from the outer sleeve 22 under inertia until it slides out of the slide groove 1, separating from it and releasing the energy-absorbing space of the side door.

[0056] In this application, it is possible to ensure that the storage box 3 can be securely connected to the inner sleeve 21 under normal circumstances, and to disconnect the connection between the storage box 3 and the inner sleeve 21 in the event of a collision, thereby allowing the inner sleeve 21 to separate from the slide 1, so as to release the energy absorption space of the side door and improve the safety of the occupants.

[0057] In some embodiments, see continue to see Figure 6 As shown, the sleeve assembly 2 further includes an exhaust gasket 25, which includes an exhaust hole. The exhaust gasket 25 is connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22 and spaced apart from the extension end 212. An ignition chamber is formed between the exhaust gasket 25 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22. An ignition powder tablet 28 is placed in the ignition chamber. The ignition powder tablet 28 is used to drive the inner sleeve 21 to move relative to the outer sleeve 22.

[0058] Specifically, the exhaust gasket 25 is provided with an exhaust hole. On the one hand, the exhaust hole can discharge the high-temperature gas generated after the ignition tablet 28 is ignited, so that the high-temperature gas is sprayed towards the inner sleeve 21, thereby pushing the inner sleeve 21 to move. On the other hand, the exhaust gasket 25 can prevent the residue and other substances generated after the ignition tablet 28 is ignited from being discharged from the exhaust hole, so as to avoid adverse effects on the people in the car door.

[0059] The exhaust gasket 25 is spaced apart from the insertion end 212 to ensure that there is a certain gap between the exhaust gasket 25 and the insertion end 212, so that the high-temperature gas generated after the ignition of the ignition powder 28 can be discharged and sprayed toward the inner sleeve 21 to push the inner sleeve 21 to move.

[0060] The ignition chamber contains an ignition tablet 28. When a collision occurs, the vehicle body controller receives the collision signal and immediately sends an ignition command to the controller of the storage structure 100. At this time, the controller of the storage structure 100 controls the ignition tablet 28 to ignite. The high-temperature gas generated after the ignition tablet 28 is ignited is discharged from the exhaust hole of the exhaust gasket 25 and sprayed towards the inner sleeve 21, thereby pushing the inner sleeve 21 to move.

[0061] It is worth noting that the driving force of the high-temperature gas generated by igniting the ignition tablet 28 is sufficient to push the inner sleeve 21 a certain distance and disconnect the connection between the storage box 3 and the inner sleeve 21.

[0062] In this application, the ignition tablet 28 is used as the driving source. On the one hand, it ensures that the inner sleeve 21 can move along the outer sleeve 22, thereby driving the storage box 3 to move along the slide 1. On the other hand, the space occupied by the driving source is small enough to avoid reducing the energy absorption space inside the door.

[0063] In some embodiments, there is a gap 29 between the outer wall of the inner sleeve 21 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22. The sleeve assembly 2 also includes a limiting pin 23, which passes through the side wall of the outer sleeve 22 and has one end located in the gap 29.

[0064] Specifically, one end of the limiting pin 23 is located within the gap 29, and this end of the limiting pin 23 does not contact the inner sleeve 21. The limiting pin 23 is provided to limit the movement of the inner sleeve 21. When the extension end 212 of the inner sleeve 21 moves to the position of the limiting pin 23, the limiting pin 23 blocks it to prevent the inner sleeve 21 from completely detaching from the outer sleeve 22, thereby preventing the high-temperature gas generated by the ignition tablet 28 from being ejected from the outer sleeve 22, ensuring the safety of the vehicle and personnel.

[0065] In some embodiments, the sleeve assembly 2 further includes a push block 26, which is located between the limiting pin 23 and the venting gasket 25. The push block 26 is fixedly connected to the extension end 212 and movably connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22. The inner sleeve 21 and the push block 26 can move relative to the outer sleeve 22 simultaneously until the push block 26 abuts against the limiting pin 23.

[0066] Specifically, the push block 26 is fixedly connected to the extension end 212 and movably connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22. Thus, when the inner sleeve 21 moves relative to the outer sleeve 22 under the action of the driving force, the push block 26 also moves relative to the outer sleeve 22 along with the inner sleeve 21.

[0067] Since the push block 26 is movably connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22, and the limiting pin 23 is located in the gap 29 between the outer wall of the inner sleeve 21 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22, when the push block 26 moves relative to the outer sleeve 22 along with the inner sleeve 21, when the push block 26 moves to the side of the limiting pin 23 near the protruding end 213, the limiting pin 23 will lock the push block 26, so that the push block 26 cannot continue to move away from the outer sleeve 22. This prevents the push block 26 and the inner sleeve 21, which is fixedly connected to the push block 26, from continuing to move away from the outer sleeve 22. This can block and limit the movement distance of the inner sleeve 21, preventing the inner sleeve 21 from completely detaching from the outer sleeve 22, and thus preventing the high-temperature gas generated by the ignition tablet 28 from being ejected from the outer sleeve 22, ensuring the safety of the vehicle and personnel.

[0068] In some embodiments, the sleeve assembly 2 further includes a sealing ring 24 located between the outer wall of the push block 26 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22, for achieving a sealed connection between the push block 26 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22.

[0069] Specifically, by setting the sealing ring 24, a sealed connection can be achieved between the push block 26 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22, preventing the residue of the ignition tablet 28 from being discharged from the gap 29 between the outer wall of the inner sleeve 21 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22, thus ensuring the safety of the vehicle and personnel. At the same time, the setting of the sealing ring 24 will not affect the pushing effect of the high-temperature gas on the push block 26 and the inner sleeve 21, and the sealing ring 24 will move together with the push block 26 and the inner sleeve 21.

[0070] In some embodiments, the sleeve assembly 2 further includes a sealing washer 27, which is connected to both the push block 26 and the sealing ring 24, and is sealed to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22.

[0071] Specifically, in addition to the sealing ring 24, a sealing gasket 27 is further provided to further improve the sealing effect and ensure that the residue of the ignition tablet 28 produced by ignition is discharged from the gap 29 between the outer wall of the inner sleeve 21 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 22, ensuring the safety of the vehicle and personnel. At the same time, since the sealing ring 24 and the sealing gasket 27 are very light, they will not affect the pushing action of the high-temperature gas on the push block 26 and the inner sleeve 21. The sealing gasket 27 and the sealing ring 24 will move together with the push block 26 and the inner sleeve 21.

[0072] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the inner wall of the slide groove 1 is provided with a limiting protrusion 11. The storage structure 100 also includes a tensioning member 7, which is located in the slide groove 1. The tensioning member 7 includes a first tensioning end 71 and a second tensioning end 72. The first tensioning end 71 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 1, and the second tensioning end 72 is connected to the storage box 3. The tensioning member 7 can slide along the slide groove 1 under the drive of the storage box 3 until the first tensioning end 71 abuts against the limiting protrusion 11.

[0073] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 11 is disposed on the inner wall of the slide groove 1 on the side near the protruding end 213 of the inner sleeve 21, and the inner wall of the slide groove 1 is provided with two opposing limiting protrusions 11. The distance between the two limiting protrusions 11 is sufficient for the storage box 3 to pass through, that is, the setting of the limiting protrusions 11 will not affect the sliding of the storage box 3 in the slide groove 1 or its separation from the slide groove 1.

[0074] The storage structure 100 also includes a tensioning member 7, which is located in the slide groove 1. The tensioning member 7 includes a first tensioning end 71 and a second tensioning end 72. The first tensioning end 71 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 1, and the second tensioning end 72 is connected to the storage box 3. Thus, the two ends of the tensioning member 7 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 1 and the storage box 3 to realize the connection between the two.

[0075] The first tensioning end 71 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 1. However, the distance between the two limiting protrusions 11 is less than the size of the first tensioning end 71. That is, the setting of the limiting protrusions 11 will not affect the sliding of the first tensioning end 71 in the slide groove 1. However, when the first tensioning end 71 slides to the two limiting protrusions 11, it will be blocked by the two limiting protrusions 11 and will not be able to continue sliding. Thus, the setting of the limiting protrusions 11 can limit the movement distance of the tensioning member 7. That is, the tensioning member 7 can slide along the slide groove 1 under the drive of the storage box 3 until the first tensioning end 71 abuts against the limiting protrusions 11.

[0076] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 While storage box 3 is still within slide groove 1, tensioning member 7 is not straightened; it is merely positioned within slide groove 1. Continuing as... Figure 9As shown, when the storage box 3 slides along the slide groove 1 until it separates from the slide groove 1, the second tensioning end 72 of the tensioning member 7 leaves the slide groove 1 along with the storage box 3, while the first tensioning end 71 continues to slide in the slide groove 1 until the first tensioning end 71 abuts against the limiting protrusion 11. At this time, the first tensioning end 71 can no longer slide, which restricts the continued movement of the second tensioning end 72 and the storage box 3, thereby restricting the falling position of the storage box 3 and preventing the storage box 3 from falling randomly and causing adverse effects on the occupants of the vehicle.

[0077] For example, the tensioning member 7 may be a steel wire rope to ensure that the tensioning member 7 has a certain degree of elasticity and rigidity.

[0078] Furthermore, the bottom of the storage box 3 may also be provided with a groove 31 for placing the tensioning member 7. The second tensioning end 72 of the tensioning member 7 is connected to the inner wall of the groove 31 and can slide in the groove 31 but will not slide out of the groove 31, so as to ensure a stable connection between the tensioning member 7 and the storage box 3.

[0079] In this application, by setting the tensioning member 7, the falling position of the storage box 3 can be restricted, so as to prevent the storage box 3 from falling randomly and causing adverse effects on the occupants of the vehicle.

[0080] In some embodiments, see continue to see Figure 5 As shown, the storage box 3 is connected to the slide 1 by a safety pin 6, which can be sheared off under external force.

[0081] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the storage box 3 and the slide 1 are connected by a safety pin 6 to ensure that the storage box 3 and the slide 1 remain relatively fixed and to ensure that the storage box 3 will not fall off at will.

[0082] Upon collision, the drive mechanism is activated or the ignition tablet 28 is lit, providing a driving force to the inner sleeve 21. This driving force propels the inner sleeve 21 along the outer sleeve 22 in a direction away from the outer sleeve 22, and also moves the storage box 3 away from the slide rail 1. The outward movement of the storage box 3 exerts a force on the safety pin 6, which weakens or even shears it off. Once the safety pin 6 is sheared off, the storage box 3 and the slide rail 1 are no longer connected. At this point, the storage box 3 can continue to slide along the slide rail 1 until it separates from the slide rail 1, thereby releasing the energy-absorbing space of the side door.

[0083] In this application, it is possible to ensure that the storage box 3 can be securely connected to the inner sleeve 21 under normal circumstances, and to disconnect the connection between the storage box 3 and the inner sleeve 21 in the event of a collision, thereby allowing the inner sleeve 21 to separate from the slide 1, so as to release the energy absorption space of the side door and improve the safety of the occupants.

[0084] In practice, when the vehicle controller detects a side collision and the occupant's pelvis is located in the storage box 3 area, it sends an ignition command to ignite the ignition tablet 28. At the same time, the safety pin 6 will be cut off. The cutting method can be either weakening or gunpowder.

[0085] The high-temperature gas generated by the pill enters the chamber between the extension end 212 and the venting pad 25 through the venting hole of the venting pad 25. The pressure in the chamber pushes the push block 26 and the inner sleeve 21 to slide, which in turn drives the storage box 3 to slide.

[0086] To prevent the inner sleeve 21 from slipping out and causing high-temperature gas leakage, a limiting pin 23 is provided. When the storage box 3 moves to the designed distance, the mounting block 5 will weaken and even break (breaking force less than 700N). At this time, the top of the storage box 3 will be in a free state, and the storage box 3 will continue to move away from the slide 1 by inertia. At this time, the storage box 3 is only constrained by the tensioning member 7.

[0087] The tensioning element 7 is located at the bottom of the storage box 3. Its function is to tighten the storage box 3 so that it falls into the storage compartment of the door, thus preventing the storage box 3 from flying out.

[0088] This application provides a detachable active pop-out storage structure 100, which can automatically pop out the storage box 3 in the event of a side collision to avoid the occupants of the vehicle, increase the energy absorption space in the side collision, and improve the overall vehicle safety performance.

[0089] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, this application also provides a door interior panel, which includes a door guard plate 200 and a door inner panel 300 connected to the inside of the door guard plate 200. The door guard plate 200 and the door inner panel 300 together form a receiving cavity. The door inner panel 300 is provided with a storage cavity 400. The receiving cavity includes a storage receiving cavity, which is connected to the storage cavity 400. The storage receiving cavity corresponds to the position of the passenger's pelvis. The storage receiving cavity is provided with the storage structure 100 described in any of the above embodiments. The storage box 3 of the storage structure 100 can slide along the slide groove 1 until it separates from the slide groove 1 and falls into the storage cavity 400.

[0090] Specifically, under normal circumstances, such as Figure 10 As shown, the storage structure 100 is disposed in the cavity formed by the door guard panel 200 and the inner door panel 300, and is used to place items that the user needs to place, such as umbrellas, tissues, and power banks.

[0091] When an impact occurs, such as Figure 11As shown, the storage box 3 of the storage structure 100 can slide along the slide 1 until it separates from the slide 1. At the same time, the tensioning member 7 causes the storage box 3 to fall into the storage cavity 400. In this way, the falling of the storage box 3 can release the energy absorption space inside the door, increase the energy absorption space at the pelvic position of the passenger, improve the safety of the occupants, and avoid the occupants from being seriously injured due to insufficient energy absorption space.

[0092] Meanwhile, the storage box 3 is slidably connected to the slide 1, so that the storage box 3 can be disassembled when not needed, which can provide more energy absorption space and increase the variety of choices for customers.

[0093] This application also provides a method for controlling the automatic pop-out of the storage structure 100 described in any of the above embodiments, including:

[0094] Step S100: In response to receiving a collision signal from a vehicle side door, obtain the pelvic position information of the occupant inside the vehicle corresponding to the vehicle side door and the position information of the storage structure on the vehicle side door.

[0095] Step S200: In response to the pelvic position information and the storage structure position information meeting the preset pop-out conditions, and the absence of obstacles on the pop-out path of the storage box, the inner sleeve 21 is controlled to move relative to the outer sleeve 22, and the storage box 3 is driven to slide along the slide groove 1 until the storage box 3 separates from the slide groove 1 and falls into the storage cavity 400 of the vehicle side door.

[0096] Specifically, see Figure 12 As shown, this application will be further explained by taking the storage structure as an umbrella storage structure and the storage box as an umbrella box as an example.

[0097] When a vehicle is involved in a collision, the airbag control unit (ACU) will monitor whether a side collision has occurred. If it is not a side collision, the umbrella box will not deploy. If a side collision is detected, a collision signal will be sent to the vehicle control unit.

[0098] The vehicle controller obtains the pelvic position information of the occupant corresponding to the side door of the vehicle and the position information of the umbrella storage structure on the side door of the vehicle through the in-vehicle camera. It then determines whether there is any overlap between the pelvic position information of the occupant and the position information of the umbrella storage structure, that is, whether the pelvic area of ​​the occupant is within the setting area of ​​the umbrella storage structure.

[0099] If the umbrella box is not located within the umbrella storage structure's designated area, it will not pop out. If the occupant's pelvis is within the umbrella storage structure's designated area, the system will further monitor whether there are any "obstacles" within the umbrella box's pop-out stroke. If there are, the umbrella box will not pop out; otherwise, an ignition command will be sent to ignite the ignition tablet within the umbrella storage structure, driving the umbrella box to slide along the slide 1 until it separates from the slide 1 and falls into the door's storage cavity 400. In this way, the umbrella box can pop out and avoid the occupant's pelvis, improving the occupant's safety and preventing the occupant from being seriously injured due to insufficient energy absorption space.

[0100] Furthermore, when determining whether there are obstacles in the pop-out path of the storage box 3, image information of the inside of the car door can be obtained through an in-vehicle camera. The image information is compared with preset image information to determine whether there are obstacles in the pop-out path. The preset image information is an image of the inside of the car door when there are no obstacles in the preset pop-out path.

[0101] Furthermore, to prevent the storage box 3 from colliding with objects inside the storage cavity 400 of the car door when it pops out, the maximum pop-out distance of the storage box 3 is less than or equal to a preset distance, such as... Figure 13 As shown in A in the diagram.

[0102] After storage box 3 pops out, it falls into storage cavity 400 due to gravity and the constraint of the side airbags. The stroke A needs to be calculated based on relevant design parameters. The functional relationship is as follows:

[0103] A = f(p, F) s F t F c (g, h)

[0104] p: Pressure of ignition tablet 28;

[0105] Fs: The frictional force exerted on the storage box 3 by the inner and outer sleeves 22 and the slide 1;

[0106] Ft: Storage box 3 is subjected to the tension of tension member 7;

[0107] Fc: Shear force of safety pin 6 and sleeve mounting block 5;

[0108] g: Gravity of storage box 3

[0109] h: The height of storage box 3.

[0110] The storage structure 100, its control method, and the door interior panel provided in this application include a slide 1, a sleeve assembly 2, and a storage box 3. The sleeve assembly 2 includes an inner sleeve 21 and an outer sleeve 22 fitted on the outer wall of the inner sleeve 21. The inner sleeve 21 can move relative to the outer sleeve 22. The storage box 3 is connected to both the slide 1 and the inner sleeve 21. The storage box 3 can slide along the slide 1 under the action of the inner sleeve 21 until it separates from the slide 1. In a specific implementation, the storage structure 100 is installed between the door guard plate 200 and the door interior panel of the car door. When a collision occurs, the movement of the inner sleeve 21 relative to the outer sleeve 22 can be controlled, thereby causing the inner sleeve 21 to drive the storage box 3 to slide along the slide 1 until it separates from the slide 1. Thus, the falling of the storage box 3 can release the energy-absorbing space inside the car door, improve the safety of the occupants, and prevent the occupants from being seriously injured due to insufficient energy-absorbing space.
