DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] The armrest box is a storage device installed between the driver's seat and the passenger seat of the vehicle. The box body 1 of the armrest box includes a storage portion and a cover portion covering the storage portion. Common armrest boxes can be divided into a double-opening armrest box and a longitudinally-opening armrest box according to the different opening methods of the cover portion. The cover portion of the double-opening armrest box is divided into a left cover and a right cover. When the armrest box is in the open state, the left cover is opposite to the right cover; the cover portion of the longitudinally-opening armrest box is an integral whole. When the armrest box is in the open state, the longitudinal axis of the cover portion forms a certain angle with the longitudinal axis of the storage portion in the vertical direction.

[0047] In order to meet the disinfection and sterilization needs of users, more and more vehicles are equipped with ultraviolet generators 2 in the armrest box, and the items stored in the armrest box are disinfected by ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet generator 2. However, in the related art, when the object is stored in the armrest box, the surface that is in contact with the bottom of the armrest box cannot be irradiated by ultraviolet rays, which creates a dead corner for disinfection and sterilization of the object, and thus cannot achieve comprehensive disinfection of the object.

[0048] Based on this, in order to solve the problem of how to fully disinfect objects, the present application proposes an armrest box, an armrest box control method and a vehicle. The armrest box described in the present application is internally provided with an ultraviolet generator 2, an ultraviolet reflector 3, a storage plate 4 and a lifting device 5 for supporting the storage plate 4, wherein the storage plate 4 is provided with a light-transmitting portion 401 for transmitting ultraviolet rays. After the items are placed in the box 1, when the controller 6 detects that the box 1 is closed, it controls the ultraviolet generator 2 to emit ultraviolet rays and starts to disinfect the items. At this time, the ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet generator 2 can irradiate the items from multiple angles through the reflection effect of the ultraviolet reflector 3. At the same time, the part of the item in contact with the storage plate 4 can be disinfected and sterilized by the ultraviolet rays transmitted from the light-transmitting portion 401, thereby eliminating the dead corners of the disinfection and sterilization of the object and achieving comprehensive disinfection of the object. Specifically including:

[0049] The first aspect of the present application proposes an embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the structural schematic diagram of an armrest box in a disinfected state, the armrest box includes:

[0050] A box body 1, wherein at least one inner wall of the box body 1 is provided with an ultraviolet generator 2 and an ultraviolet reflector 3, and the ultraviolet generator 2 and the ultraviolet reflector 3 are located on different inner walls of the box body 1;

[0051] The storage plate 4 is disposed in the box body 1, and at least one light-transmitting portion 401 is disposed on the storage plate 4;

[0052] The lifting device 5 is disposed on the bottom wall 101 of the box body 1 and is connected to the storage plate 4. The lifting device 5 is used to drive the storage plate 4 to move along a preset direction.

[0053] The controller 6 is connected to the ultraviolet generator 2. The controller 6 is used to detect whether the box body 1 is in a closed state in response to the triggering of the disinfection instruction; when the box body 1 is in a closed state, the controller 6 controls the ultraviolet generator 2 to emit ultraviolet rays.

[0054] refer to Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an armrest box in a disinfection state is shown. Figure 1 The armrest box shown is a split-type armrest box, and the cover of the box body 1 includes a left cover and a right cover. An ultraviolet generator 2 and an ultraviolet reflector 3 are arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1. The ultraviolet generator 2 can be an ultraviolet lamp or other device that can emit ultraviolet rays, and the ultraviolet reflector 3 can be a metal sheet with a smooth surface, such as an aluminum-plated reflective film.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the ultraviolet generator 2 should be arranged on at least two opposite inner walls of the box body 1, and the ultraviolet reflector 3 should be arranged on the inner walls other than the inner wall where the ultraviolet generator 2 is arranged, so that the ultraviolet rays generated by the ultraviolet generator 2 can still achieve a good disinfection and sterilization effect after being reflected by the ultraviolet reflector 3, thereby avoiding the situation where the disinfection ability of the armrest box is reduced due to reflection loss.

[0056] The storage plate 4 refers to a component provided in the box body 1 for carrying objects. The storage plate 4 can be a plate-like component with a flat surface, or a plate-like component with a barrier strip provided at the edge of the surface. In an optional embodiment, when a barrier strip is provided at the edge of the surface of the storage plate 4, if the object placed on the storage plate 4 is spherical or cylindrical in shape as a whole, the barrier strip can block the object and prevent the object from rolling off the storage plate 4, thereby ensuring the continuous and comprehensive disinfection and sterilization effect of the armrest box on the object.

[0057] At least one transparent portion 401 is provided on the storage plate 4. The transparent portion 401 should allow ultraviolet rays to irradiate the surface of the object while supporting the object. For example, the transparent portion 401 can be a glass plate or a plastic plate that does not block ultraviolet rays.

[0058] The lifting device 5 is disposed on the bottom wall 101 inside the box 1 and is connected to the storage plate 4 to support the storage plate 4. The preset direction may be a direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 101, generally speaking, the up and down direction. When the object needs to be disinfected, the lifting device 5 drives the storage plate 4 to move upward, placing the light-transmitting portion 401 in the cavity of the box 1, so that ultraviolet rays can pass through the light-transmitting portion 401 to irradiate the object.

[0059] The controller 6 is connected to the ultraviolet generator 2 and is used to control the ultraviolet generator 2 to emit ultraviolet rays or stop emitting ultraviolet rays. During the use of the armrest box, in order to avoid ultraviolet rays irradiating the user, the controller 6 first detects the opening and closing state of the box body 1 when receiving a disinfection instruction from the user, and controls the ultraviolet generator 2 to start emitting ultraviolet rays when the cover of the box body 1 is in a closed state.

[0060] The armrest box of the present application is provided with an ultraviolet generator 2, an ultraviolet reflector 3, a storage plate 4 and a lifting device 5 for supporting the storage plate 4, wherein a light-transmitting portion 401 for transmitting ultraviolet rays is provided on the storage plate 4. After the items are placed in the box 1, when the controller 6 detects that the box 1 is closed, it controls the ultraviolet generator 2 to emit ultraviolet rays and starts to disinfect the items. At this time, the ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet generator 2 can irradiate the items from multiple angles through the reflection effect of the ultraviolet reflector 3. At the same time, the part of the item that contacts the storage plate 4 can be disinfected and sterilized by the ultraviolet rays transmitted through the light-transmitting portion 401, thereby eliminating the dead angles of the disinfection and sterilization of the object and achieving comprehensive disinfection of the object.

[0065] The driving member is a driving member of the lifting device 5, and is used to provide driving force for the lifting device 5 to drive the storage plate 4 to move. The scissor assembly is an execution member of the lifting device 5, and is used to drive the storage plate 4 to move by changing its own shape under the drive of the driving member.

[0066] The scissor assembly includes a first connecting rod 504 and a second connecting rod 505 that are mutually hinged. The scissor hinge means that the first connecting rod 504 and the second connecting rod 505 can rotate around the connection point between the two after being connected to each other, and the shape of the first connecting rod 504 and the second connecting rod 505 after being connected is similar to a "scissor" structure. The first connecting rod 504 and the second connecting rod 505 respectively include two ends, the first connecting rod 504 includes a first end and a second end, and the second connecting rod 505 includes a third end and a fourth end.

When the motor 501 outputs kinetic energy outward, the output shaft of the motor 501 drives the gear 502 to rotate, and the gear 502 converts the rotational motion of the output shaft into linear motion through the rack 503 engaged therewith, thereby driving the target end connected to the rack 503 to move.

[0073] When the target end connected to the rack 503 is the first end or the second end of the first connecting rod 504, the length direction of the rack 503 extends toward the direction close to the second connecting rod 505; when the target end connected to the rack 503 is the third end of the second connecting rod 505, the length direction of the rack 503 extends toward the direction close to the first connecting rod 504.

[0074] Optionally, refer to Figure 2As shown, a first sliding portion 504a is provided at the first end, a second sliding portion 504b is provided at the second end, and a third sliding portion 505c is provided at the third end;

[0075] The storage plate 4 is provided with a first connecting end 402, and a first long hole 403 is provided on the first connecting end 402, the length direction of which is parallel to the plate surface of the storage plate 4, and the first sliding portion 504a is located in the first long hole 403;

[0080] Optionally, the controller 6 is also connected to the lifting device 5;

[0081] The controller 6 is also used to control the lifting device 5 to drive the storage plate 4 to move to a preset position after controlling the ultraviolet generator 2 to emit ultraviolet rays.

[0082] refer to Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an armrest box in a disinfected state is shown, and Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the structure of the armrest box in the storage state is shown. In order to further improve the degree of automation of the disinfection and sterilization of the armrest box, the controller 6 can be further connected to the lifting device 5. After the ultraviolet generator 2 is controlled to emit ultraviolet rays, it indicates that there is a need to disinfect the items, so the lifting device 5 should be driven to move the storage plate 4 to a preset position so that the ultraviolet rays can be projected onto the surface of the object through the light-transmitting portion 401.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, when the armrest box is in a storage state, that is, when the ultraviolet generator 2 stops emitting ultraviolet rays, it indicates that there is currently no need to disinfect the items, so the lifting device 5 can be driven to move the storage plate 4 to the position closest to the bottom wall 101 to obtain a larger storage capacity.

[0084] Optionally, the controller 6 is connected to the target terminal;

[0085] The controller 6 is used to determine the time when the ultraviolet generator 2 emits ultraviolet rays and / or the time when it stops emitting ultraviolet rays based on the control instruction sent by the target terminal.

[0086] In order to realize remote control of the armrest box, the controller 6 can also be connected to a target terminal. The target terminal can be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, a wearable device, or other types of terminals. When the controller 6 is connected to the target terminal, the user can control the ultraviolet generator 2 through the operation interface on the target terminal.

[0087] For example, the user can set the start time and the start duration of the ultraviolet generator 2 on the target terminal. In response to the start duration set by the user, the target terminal sends a control instruction carrying the start duration to the controller 6. Based on the control instruction sent by the target terminal, the controller 6 determines the time when the ultraviolet generator 2 emits ultraviolet rays as the start time, and determines the time when the ultraviolet generator 2 stops emitting ultraviolet rays as the time of the start duration after the start time.

[0088] Optionally, the storage plate 4 includes a frame connected to the lifting device 5;

[0089] The light-transmitting portion 401 includes a supporting net, and the supporting net covers the frame.

[0091] Optionally, the armrest box further comprises a protective cover 7, and the protective cover 7 is used to cover the surface of the ultraviolet reflector 3 when the ultraviolet generator 2 stops emitting ultraviolet rays.

[0092] refer to Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the structure of an armrest box in a storage state is shown. In order to ensure the reflection effect of the ultraviolet reflector 3 on ultraviolet rays and prevent the ultraviolet box reflector from being scratched by objects, a protective cover 7 can be provided on the surface of the ultraviolet reflector 3 when the ultraviolet reflector 3 does not need to reflect ultraviolet rays, that is, when the ultraviolet generator 2 stops emitting ultraviolet rays.

[0093] refer to Figure 4 As shown in the schematic diagram of the structure of a protective cover, the protective cover 7 can be a shell adapted to the inner side of the box body 1. When the ultraviolet generator 2 stops emitting ultraviolet rays, the storage plate 4 is lowered to the lowest position, and then the protective cover 7 is placed on the surface of the storage plate 4. At this time, the cavity inside the shell is used as a storage space, and the protective cover 7 can be used to isolate the objects from the ultraviolet reflector 3 during storage, thereby preventing the ultraviolet reflector 3 from being scratched by the objects.

[0094] The second aspect of the present application proposes an embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown in the step diagram of a control method of an armrest box, the method is applied to the armrest box, the armrest box includes a box body 1, a controller 6, and an ultraviolet generator 2 arranged in the box body 1, wherein the controller 6 is connected to the ultraviolet generator 2, and the method includes:

[0095] Step S101, in response to the triggering of the disinfection instruction, detecting whether the box body 1 is in a closed state.

[0096] The disinfection command is a command triggered by the user to instruct the armrest box to start disinfecting items. The user can trigger the disinfection command through the virtual disinfection button set on the central control screen or the physical disinfection button set in the button area.

[0097] The controller 6 detects whether the box 1 is in a closed state, which can be detected by a light sensor installed inside the box 1. The light sensor is connected to the controller 6. When the box 1 is in a closed state, the light intensity received by the light sensor should be less than a preset threshold. At this time, the controller 6 can determine whether the box 1 is currently in a closed state by the light intensity sent by the light sensor. Alternatively, the controller 6 can also determine whether the box 1 is in a closed state by a position sensor for detecting the position of the cover body. When the position of the cover body moves to a position corresponding to the box 1 being in a closed state, it is determined that the box 1 is in a closed state.

[0098] Step S102, when the box body 1 is in a closed state, controlling the ultraviolet generator 2 to emit ultraviolet rays.

[0099] In the process of using the armrest box, in order to avoid ultraviolet radiation to the user, the controller 6 should first detect the opening and closing state of the box body 1 when receiving the disinfection instruction issued by the user. When the cover of the box body 1 is in the closed state, the ultraviolet generator 2 is controlled to start emitting ultraviolet rays.

[0100] Alternatively, if Figure 6 As shown in the step diagram of a lifting device control method, the armrest box also includes a lifting device 5 connected to the controller 6, and the lifting device 5 is used to drive the storage plate 4 to move along a preset direction. The method includes:

[0101] Step S201, in response to the triggering of the disinfection instruction, detecting whether the box body 1 is in a closed state.

[0102] The specific implementation of step S201 is the same as that of step S101, and reference may be made to the relevant description of step S101.

[0103] Step S202, when the box body 1 is in a closed state, controlling the ultraviolet generator 2 to emit ultraviolet rays.

[0104] The specific implementation of step S202 is the same as that of step S102, and reference may be made to the relevant description of step S102.

[0105] Step S203 , controlling the lifting device 5 to drive the storage plate 4 to move to a preset position.

[0106] In order to further improve the degree of automation of the disinfection and sterilization of the armrest box, the controller 6 can be further connected to the lifting device 5. After the ultraviolet generator 2 is controlled to emit ultraviolet rays, it indicates that there is a need to disinfect the items, so the lifting device 5 should be driven to move the storage plate 4 to a preset position so that the ultraviolet rays can be projected onto the surface of the object through the light-transmitting portion 401.

[0107] Optionally, the controller 6 is connected to the target terminal, and the method further includes: determining the time when the ultraviolet generator 2 emits ultraviolet rays and / or the time when it stops emitting ultraviolet rays based on the control instruction sent by the target terminal.

[0108] In order to realize remote control of the armrest box, the controller 6 can also be connected to a target terminal. The target terminal can be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, a wearable device, or other types of terminals. When the controller 6 is connected to the target terminal, the user can control the ultraviolet generator 2 through the operation interface on the target terminal.

[0109] For example, the user can set the start time or the shut down time of the ultraviolet generator 2 on the target terminal. In response to the start time or the shut down time set by the user, the target terminal sends a control instruction carrying the start time or the shut down time to the controller 6. Based on the control instruction sent by the target terminal, the controller 6 determines the time when the ultraviolet generator 2 emits ultraviolet rays as the start time, or determines the time when the ultraviolet generator 2 stops emitting ultraviolet rays as the shut down time.

[0110] A third aspect of the present application provides a vehicle, the vehicle comprising the armrest box described in the present application;

[0111] The vehicle further includes a processor, which is used to execute the steps of the control method of the armrest box described in the present application.

[0112] The armrest box described in the present application is internally provided with an ultraviolet generator 2, an ultraviolet reflector 3, a storage plate 4 and a lifting device 5 for supporting the storage plate 4, wherein a light-transmitting portion 401 for transmitting ultraviolet rays is provided on the storage plate 4. After the items are placed in the box 1, when the controller 6 detects that the box 1 is closed, it controls the ultraviolet generator 2 to emit ultraviolet rays and starts to disinfect the items. At this time, the ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet generator 2 can irradiate the items from multiple angles through the reflection effect of the ultraviolet reflector 3. At the same time, the part of the item in contact with the storage plate 4 can be disinfected and sterilized by the ultraviolet rays transmitted through the light-transmitting portion 401, thereby eliminating the dead angles of the disinfection and sterilization of the object and achieving comprehensive disinfection of the object.
