[0023] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0024] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up" and "down" generally refer to the up and down of the corresponding component in the direction of gravity, i.e. Figure 1 In the context of directions, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of the component or structure itself. Furthermore, it should be noted that terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate sequence or importance. Additionally, in the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same element.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this disclosure provides a vehicle body panel lock, including a mounting base 3 for being disposed on a first side panel 1 of the vehicle body, a wrench 4 hinged to the mounting base 3, a hanging ring 5 hinged to the wrench 4, and a hook 6 for being disposed on a second side panel 2 adjacent to the first side panel 1 and hooked to the hanging ring 5. The hook 6 is movably disposed in the second side panel 2 so as to extend out of the second side panel 2 in the working state and to be hidden in the second side panel 2 in the non-working state.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, in the vehicle body panel lock provided in this disclosure, the hanging ring 5 is set on the first side plate 1 by a wrench 4. The wrench 4 is hinged to the mounting base 3 to drive the hanging ring 5 to move. For example, a torsion spring can be set at the hinge of the wrench 4 and the mounting base 3 to provide a certain torque so that the wrench 4 will not easily rotate after locking. The hook 6 is movably set in the second side plate 2. It can extend out of the second side plate 2 when hooked with the hanging ring 5 or be hidden in the second side plate 2 when disengaged from the hanging ring 5. After the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are opened, the hook 6 is hidden in the second side plate 2 and will not affect the loading and unloading of goods.

[0027] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 1-3As shown, the first side plate 1 is constructed as a rear side plate, and the second side plate 2 is constructed as a side plate. Two side plates are arranged opposite each other, and both side plates are connected to the rear side plate via a vehicle body plate lock. The upper part of the rear side plate has a horizontal mounting groove 101. The mounting seat 3 is used to be installed in the mounting groove 101 and is located at one end near the second side plate 2. This arrangement allows the hanging ring 5 to contact the hook 6 located inside the side plate. The hook 6 is located on the side of the side plate near the rear plate to hook with the hanging ring 5. In other embodiments, the mounting seat 3 can also be installed on the side plate, and the hook 6 can be installed inside the rear plate.

[0028] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the side panel has an opening for the hook 6 to enter and exit, and an internal cavity for installing the hook 6. When the side panel and the rear panel are installed, the mounting groove 101 corresponds to the opening, and the hooking surface of the hook 6 faces the inside of the side panel so that it can hook with the hook 6 when it extends into the mounting groove 101 through the opening. In this way, the hook 6 will not protrude outside the vehicle body after the vehicle body is installed. The hooking surface is the side of the hook 6 used for hooking.

[0029] The hook 6 can be constructed in any suitable shape. For example, in this disclosure, the hook 6 is constructed as an S-shaped structure. One end of the S-shaped structure serves as the hooking end, and the other end is rotatably connected to the side plate via a pivot 8. The S-shaped structure ensures that the hook 6 can enter the mounting groove 101 and hook with the hanging ring 5 with only a small rotation angle. In other embodiments, the hook 6 can also move horizontally within the second side plate 2.

[0030] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the vehicle panel lock also includes an opening module 7 disposed in the second side plate 2. The opening module 7 is connected to the hook 6 so that the hook 6 can be hidden inside the second side plate 2 or extend out of the second side plate 2. For example, the opening module 7 is disposed near the hinge end of the hook 6, and the hook 6 can extend out of the second side plate 2 or be hidden inside the second side plate 2 through the opening module 7.

[0031] Optionally, the opening module 7 is configured as a locking mechanism. When the hook 6 is hidden inside the second side plate 2, the locking mechanism is in a locked state. When the locking mechanism is in an open state, the hook 6 can extend out of the second side plate 2. When the hook 6 moves into the second side plate 2, the locking mechanism is in a locked state to fix the hook 6. At this time, the hook 6 is hidden inside the second side plate 2. When the hook 6 needs to be extended, the locking mechanism opens, and the hook 6 moves outward of the second side plate 2 to engage with the hanging ring 5. In other embodiments, the opening module 7 can also be configured as a moving mechanism. By pushing or pulling the moving mechanism, the hook 6 can be moved, so that the hook 6 can extend out of the second side plate 2 or be hidden inside the second side plate 2.

[0032] Optionally, the locking mechanism is a self-locking switch. A self-locking switch is a switch with a built-in mechanical locking function. When pressed, the button will not fully pop up after being released, remaining in a locked state. It needs to be pressed again to unlock and fully pop up. That is, pressing the hook 6 moves the hook 6 inward to the second side plate 2 and locks it. Pressing it again pops the hook 6 out. The self-locking switch includes a locking end 71 and an actuating end 72. The actuating end 72 is provided with a collar 10 for fitting onto the hook 6. The collar 10 is hinged to the actuating end 72 so that the collar 10 can slide along the hook 6. When the hook 6 is pressed, the hook 6 pushes the actuating end 72 to move, and at the same time the collar 10 moves along the hook 6. The locking end 71 locks the actuating end 72, and the collar 10 fixes the hook 6. When the hook 6 is pressed again, the locking end 71 is released, and the actuating end 72 pops out.

[0033] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the vehicle panel lock also includes a limiting member 9, such as a limiting post, which is set on one side of the opening. The limiting member 9 is set inside the second side plate 2 and abuts against the side of the hook 6 near the hanging ring 5 to limit the angle of the hook 6 extending. By limiting the angle of the hook 6 extending, the hook 6 can move within a fixed range, ensuring that the hook 6 can hook with the hanging ring 5, while avoiding the hook 6 from colliding with the side plate and causing damage to the side plate.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a second objective of this disclosure is to provide a vehicle body, comprising: the aforementioned vehicle body panel lock; a first side panel 1; and a second side panel 2. The vehicle body panel lock is used to connect the first side panel 1 and the second side panel 2. A hook 6 is movably disposed within the second side panel 2. When hooked with a hanging ring 5, the hook 6 extends out of the second side panel 2 or is hidden within the second side panel 2 when disengaged from the hanging ring 5. After the first side panel 1 and the second side panel 2 are opened, the hook 6 is hidden within the second side panel 2 and will not affect the loading and unloading of goods.

[0035] A third object of this disclosure is to provide a vehicle including the aforementioned cargo box, the vehicle including but not limited to vans, light trucks, etc.

[0036] In actual use, when it is necessary to install the side panel, press the hook 6 to pop it out, lift the side panel and the back panel, turn the wrench 4 to hook the hanging ring 5 with the hook 6, and then press the wrench 4 to make the wrench 4 fit against the back panel; when it is necessary to open the side panel, turn the wrench 4 to disengage the hanging ring 5 from the hook 6, lower the side panel and the back panel, press the hook 6 to hide the hook 6 inside the side panel, and then move the goods. The hook 6 will not affect the movement of the goods.

[0037] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0038] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0039] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
