DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0060] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between various components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0062] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0063] In addition, in the present invention, descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0064] When the car is driving, the water cup placed in the car is easily shaken due to the bumps of the car, causing the cup to tip over. In serious cases, the water in the cup will spill out. Generally, a cup holder is used to support and fix the cup.

[0065] In the related art, in order to simplify the design of the cup holder, a groove is usually provided on the cup holder, and the cup is placed in the groove. The bottom wall and side walls of the groove support and limit the cup, so that the cup can only be placed at a fixed height. When the height of the cup is small, the length of the cup extending from the cup holder is short, which makes it inconvenient for passengers to take it. When the height of the cup is high, the length of the cup extending from the cup holder is long. During the driving process of the vehicle, the cup is easily affected by the bumps and shakes of the vehicle, the stability of the cup is poor, and the cup is easy to tip over.

[0066] Therefore, the cup holder in the related art has the technical problem that the height cannot be adjusted. The embodiment of the present application provides a storage box and a vehicle, which can at least solve the technical problem that the height of the cup holder in the related art cannot be adjusted to a certain extent.

[0067] The present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0068] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the storage box 100 is installed on the vehicle body, and includes a box body 110 , a lifting mechanism 120 , a supporting mechanism 130 and a limiting mechanism 140 .

[0069] The box body 110 has a storage slot 110a.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, the storage slot 110a can be used to store items such as umbrellas, keys, mobile phones, and tissues. The cross-section of the storage slot 110a can be circular or rectangular, etc., which is not limited in this application. The box body 110 can be installed on the center console of the vehicle body, and of course it can also be installed in other positions of the vehicle body, which is not limited in this application.

[0071] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the lifting mechanism 120 is located outside the storage slot 110a, and includes a power-coupled fixed unit 121 and a lifting unit 122. The lifting unit 122 is lifted and lowered along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a relative to the fixed unit 121, and the fixed unit 121 is installed on the box body 110 and / or the vehicle body.

[0072] The fixing unit 121 can be installed on the box body 110, on the vehicle body, or on both the box body 110 and the vehicle body. The fixing unit 121 can guide the lifting unit 122 so that the lifting unit 122 can rise or fall along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a. The lifting unit 122 and the fixing unit 121 are both located outside the storage slot 110a and do not occupy the space of the storage slot 110a.

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the support mechanism 130 is located in the storage tank 110a, and includes a cup holder seat 131 connected to the lifting unit 122 and a cup holder assembly 132 installed on the cup holder seat 131 and used to support a water cup.

[0074] The support mechanism 130 is used to support the water cup and is located in the storage tank 110a. Specifically, it includes a cup holder seat 131 and a cup holder assembly 132. The cup holder seat 131 is connected to the lifting unit 122, so the cup holder seat 131 can rise or fall with the lifting unit 122, so the height of the cup holder seat 131 can be adjusted. The cup holder assembly 132 is used to support the water cup and is installed on the cup holder seat 131. Therefore, the cup holder assembly 132 can rise or fall with the lifting unit 122, so the height of the cup holder assembly 132 can be adjusted.

[0075] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the limiting mechanism 140 is located outside the storage slot 110 a and includes an unlocking unit 141 and a limiting member 142 installed on the unlocking unit 141 . The limiting member 142 is connected to or separated from the lifting unit 122 under the drive of the unlocking unit 141 .

[0076] The limiting mechanism 140 is located outside the storage slot 110a and does not occupy the space of the storage slot 110a. The limiting mechanism 140 includes an unlocking unit 141 and a limiting member 142. The limiting member 142 is installed on the unlocking unit 141. The unlocking unit 141 can be installed on the vehicle body, or on the box body 110, or on both the vehicle body and the box body 110. The unlocking unit 141 can drive the limiting member 142 to move, so that the limiting member 142 can be connected to or separated from the lifting unit 122. Specifically, the limiting member 142 is used to limit the lifting unit 122. When the lifting unit 122 descends or rises to a certain height position, the lifting unit 122 can be fixed at the height position by connecting the limiting member 142 to the lifting unit 122, thereby fixing the support mechanism 130 at the height. The structure of the limiting member 142 is diverse. The limiting member 142 may be a protrusion. When the protrusion extends into the lifting unit 122 , the limiting member 142 is connected to the lifting unit 122 . When the protrusion is outside the lifting unit 122 , the limiting member 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122 .

[0077] The cup holder assembly 132 is located at at least two height positions in the storage slot 110a under the drive of the lifting unit 122, and when the cup holder assembly 132 is located at a certain height position, the limiter 142 is connected and locked with the lifting unit 122, or the lifting unit 122 is locked by abutting against the box body 110.

[0078] The cup holder assembly 132 is used to support a water cup. The cup holder seat 131 of the support mechanism 130 is mounted on the lifting unit 122, and the cup holder assembly 132 is mounted on the cup holder seat 131, so that the cup holder assembly 132 can be driven by the lifting unit 122. Driven by the lifting unit 122 to rise or fall, the cup holder assembly 132 can be located at at least two height positions in the storage tank 110a, so that the water cup on it can be located at at least two height positions in the storage tank 110a. When the cup holder assembly 132 is located at a certain height position, the lifting unit 122 is locked by connecting the limiter 142 and the lifting unit 122, so that the lifting unit 122 is fixed at the height position, and the cup holder assembly 132 is locked at the height position; or the lifting unit 122 is prevented from continuing to rise or continue to fall by contacting and abutting with the box body 110, so that the lifting unit 122 is locked at a certain height position.

[0079] The lifting unit 122 can be driven up or down manually, or by a driving component such as a motor. In some embodiments, the lifting unit 122 is driven down manually, and the lifting mechanism 120 stores energy during the descent process. When the stopper 142 is connected to the lifting unit 122, the lifting mechanism 120 is locked in a low position. Figure 2 and Figure 4 After the stopper 142 and the lifting unit 122 are separated, the lifting unit 122 can automatically rise to a high position due to the energy storage during the descending process, until the lifting unit 122 abuts against the box body 110, as shown Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the lifting unit 122 is manually driven to rise, and the lifting mechanism 120 stores energy during the rising process, and the lifting mechanism 120 is locked in a high position when the stopper 142 and the lifting unit 122 are connected; after the stopper 142 and the lifting unit 122 are separated, the lifting unit 122 can automatically descend to the bottom position due to the energy stored in the lifting unit 122 during the rising process, until the lifting unit 122 abuts against the box body 110.

[0080] The cup holder assembly 132 can be located at different heights driven by the lifting unit 122. On the one hand, the height of the cup holder assembly 132 can be adjusted so that the storage box 100 can store water cups of different heights, so that the water cups of different heights can be at heights that are convenient for users to pick up; on the other hand, when there is no water cup placed on the cup holder assembly 132, the cup holder assembly 132 can be adjusted by the lifting unit 122 to a position that does not interfere with the storage of other items, thereby facilitating the storage of other items in the storage slot 110a.

[0081] The lifting mechanism 120 and the limiting mechanism 140 of the storage box 100 are both located outside the storage slot 110a. On the one hand, not only will the space of the storage slot 110a not be occupied, but the space below the cup holder assembly 132 can be utilized, thereby increasing the utilization rate of the storage slot 110a, thereby helping to improve the utilization rate of the space in the vehicle, and facilitating the storage of umbrellas, keys, mobile phones, tissues and other items in the storage slot 110a; on the other hand, the lifting range of the cup holder assembly 132 can be designed to be larger, which to a certain extent avoids the cup holder assembly 132 from interfering with other items in the storage slot 110a, and makes it more convenient for the cup holder assembly 132 to support water cups of different heights.

[0082] In some embodiments, one of the limiting member 142 and the lifting unit 122 is provided with a locking tongue 1421, and the other is provided with a locking position 1221a. When driven by the unlocking unit 141, the locking tongue 1421 and the locking position 1221a move relative to each other to lock or unlock.

[0083] Specifically, under the drive of the unlocking unit 141, the lock tongue 1421 can extend into the lock position 1221a, so that the lock tongue 1421 and the lock position 1221a are engaged, so that the limit member 142 is connected to the lifting unit 122, and then the lifting unit 122 is locked, so that the lifting unit 122 cannot rise or fall. Specifically, under the drive of the unlocking unit 141, the lock tongue 1421 can be located outside the lock position 1221a, so that the limit member 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, and then the lifting unit 122 is unlocked, so that the lifting unit 122 can rise or fall. The number of lock positions 1221a can be one or more. The number of lock positions 1221a is related to the number of positions that the lifting unit 122 needs to lock. The user can design it adaptively according to the specific situation, and it is not limited in this application.

[0084] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the unlocking unit 141 includes a button 1411 and a connecting rod 1412; the button 1411 is at least partially exposed; the connecting rod 1412 is slidably connected to the box body 110 or the vehicle body along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a, one side of the connecting rod 1412 is connected to the button 1411, and the limit member 142 is installed on the connecting rod 1412; wherein, the connecting rod 1412 is driven by the button 1411 to drive the limit member 142 to move, so that the lock tongue 1421 and the lock position 1221a move relative to each other.

[0085] The button 1411 is at least partially exposed, which means that after the storage box 100 is installed on the vehicle body, the button 1411 is exposed to the outside, and the passenger can see the button 1411. The connecting rod 1412 is slidably connected to the box body 110 or the vehicle body along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a. It can be slidably connected to the box body 110 along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a, or it can be slidably connected to the vehicle body along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a. One side of the connecting rod 1412 is connected to the button 1411. When the passenger presses the button 1411, the connecting rod 1412 can be driven to slide downward along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a. The limiter 142 is mounted on the connecting rod 1412, and the connecting rod 1412 can drive the limiter 142 to move under the drive of the button 1411, so that the limiter 142 and the lifting unit 122 can move relative to each other, thereby realizing the relative movement of the locking tongue 1421 and the locking position 1221a, thereby locking or unlocking the lifting unit 141. Locking or unlocking the lifting unit 141 by pressing the button 1411 is simple to operate and can be convenient for passengers to operate.

[0086] like Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting rod 1412 and the limit member 142 are matched through inclined surfaces, and the unlocking unit 141 also includes a first reset member 1413 and a second reset member 1414, and the two ends of the first reset member 1413 act on the connecting rod 1412 and the box body 110 or the vehicle body respectively; the two ends of the second reset member 1414 act on the limit member 142 and the box body 110 or the vehicle body respectively.

[0087] Since the connecting rod 1412 and the limiting member 142 cooperate through the inclined surface, when the connecting rod 1412 moves downward, the connecting rod 1412 can apply a force perpendicular to the inclined surface to the limiting member 142, thereby driving the limiting member 142 to move, thereby realizing the relative movement of the limiting member 142 and the lifting unit 122, that is, realizing the relative movement of the locking tongue 1421 and the locking position 1221a. One end of the first reset member 1413 contacts the connecting rod 1412, and the other end contacts the box body 110 or the vehicle body. The function of the first reset member 1413 is to apply a force to the connecting rod 1412 when the passenger releases the button 1411, so that the connecting rod 1412 slides upward and moves to the initial position that is not pressed. The movement of the connecting rod 1412 can drive the button 1411 to move, and also causes the button 1411 to move to the initial position that is not pressed. One end of the second restoring member 1414 contacts the limiting member 142, and the other end contacts the box body 110 or the vehicle body. The function of the second restoring member 1414 is to apply a force to the limiting member 142 when the passenger releases the button 1411, so that the limiting member 142 moves to the initial position when the button 1411 is not pressed.

[0088] like Fig.10As shown, in some embodiments, a through hole is opened in the middle of the stopper 142, and an inner wall of the through hole is provided with an upward inclined surface, a portion of the connecting rod 1412 is located in the through hole, and a side wall of the connecting rod 1412 is provided with a downward inclined surface, and the inclined surface of the stopper 142 is parallel to and in contact with the inclined surface of the connecting rod 1412. The stopper 142 is also slidably connected to the box body 110, so that the stopper 142 can slide in a direction close to the lifting unit 122 (such as Fig.10 , i.e. sliding to the left), or sliding in a direction away from the lifting unit 122 (i.e. sliding to the left). Fig.10 As shown, that is, sliding to the right), the left end of the second reset member 1414 contacts the limiting member 142, and the right end contacts the box body 110. The lower part of the connecting rod 1412 is slidably connected to the box body 110, and the first reset member 1413 is arranged at the lower part of the connecting rod 1412. The upper end of the first reset member 1413 contacts the connecting rod 1412, and the lower end contacts the box body 110. The button 1411 is arranged at the upper end of the connecting rod 1412 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 1412. A first avoidance hole 110c for avoiding the button 1411 is provided on the box body 110, and the button 1411 extends out of the box body 110 through the first avoidance hole 110c to be exposed to the outside. When the button 1411 is pressed, the button 1411 drives the connecting rod 1412 to slide downward, and the connecting rod 1412 drives the limiting member 142 to slide in the direction away from the lifting unit 122 (as shown in FIG. 11). Fig.10 When the button 1411 is not pressed, the connecting rod 1412 slides upward under the action of the first reset member 1413, and the limiting member 142 slides toward the direction close to the lifting unit 122 under the action of the second reset member 1414 (as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown, that is, sliding to the left), the locking tongue 1421 is located in the locking position 1221a, so that the limiting member 142 can be connected to the lifting unit 122, so that the lifting unit 122 is locked.

[0089] The first reset member 1413 and the second reset member 1414 can be elastic members such as springs or rubber rings. The first reset member 1413 and the second reset member 1414 can also be driving members such as linear motors and electric telescopic rods, which are not limited in this application. In some embodiments, the first reset member 1413 and the second reset member 1414 are both springs, and the two springs are respectively sleeved on the connecting rod 1412 and the limit member 142. When the button 1411 is pressed, the first reset member 1413 and the second reset member 1414 are both compressed to store energy. When the button 1411 is not pressed, the first reset member 1413 and the second reset member 1414 recover and deform, thereby driving the limit member 142 and the connecting rod 1412 to reset.

[0090] like Figure 8 and Fig.10As shown, in some embodiments, the locking tongue 1421 is provided on the limiting member 142, the lifting unit 122 is provided with a locking position 1221a, and the locking position 1221a is configured to lock the lifting unit 122 in a low position when cooperating with the locking tongue 1421, and the lifting unit 122 is locked in a high position by abutting against the box body 110.

[0091] The locking tongue 1421 is disposed on the limiting member 142, and the limiting member 142 itself may serve as the locking tongue 1421, or the locking tongue 1421 may be fixed to the limiting member 142. In these embodiments, the lifting unit 122 has two height positions, so that the cup holder assembly 132 can be at two height positions, thereby achieving two-level adjustment of the height of the cup holder assembly 132. The two height positions of the lifting unit 122 are respectively a high position and a low position, and the lifting unit 122 is locked in the low position by the locking tongue 1421 being located in the locking position 1221a. Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown; the lifting unit 122 is locked in the high position by abutting against the box body 110, as Figure 5 and Figure 8 shown.

[0092] like Fig.12 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting member 142 is provided with two or more locking positions 1221 a spaced apart along the lifting direction of the lifting unit 122 , and the lifting unit 122 is provided with a locking tongue 1421 .

[0093] In these embodiments, the limit member 142 is provided with more than two locking positions 1221a arranged at intervals along the lifting direction of the lifting unit 122, and the lifting unit 122 is provided with a locking tongue 1421, and the locking tongue 1421 can be located in any locking position 1221a, so that the lifting unit 122 can be maintained at more than two height positions, so that the cup holder assembly 132 can be at more than two height positions, and multi-level adjustment of the height of the cup holder assembly 132 is realized, which is convenient for passengers to place water cups of different heights.

[0094] like Fig.12 As shown, in some embodiments, when the limiting member 142 is provided with more than two locking positions 1221a, the limiting member 142 is a first rack provided with ratchet teeth, and the locking tongue 1421 is a ratchet pawl.

[0095] It is easy to understand that the cross-section of the ratchet is triangular, the groove formed between two adjacent ratchet teeth is the lock position 1221a, the cross-section of the pawl is also triangular, and the pawl and the ratchet are configured as follows: when the rack and the pawl are in coordination, the pawl can only move downward in one direction. When the pawl wants to move upward, the pawl will be engaged by the inner wall of the lock position 1221a, preventing the pawl from moving upward.

[0096] When the lifting unit 122 slides downward, the pawl can be driven to slide downward, and the pawl is sequentially located in each locking position 1221a. When the lifting unit 122 stops sliding, the pawl engages with the inner wall of the corresponding locking position 1221a, so that the lifting unit 122 is locked and the lifting unit 122 cannot move upward. When the button 1411 is pressed downward, the rack moves in a direction away from the lifting unit 122, so that the first rack separates from the pawl, thereby unlocking the lifting unit 122 and allowing the lifting unit 122 to slide upward.

[0097] like Fig. 9 and Fig.14 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting unit 122 includes a mounting seat 1221 and a transmission assembly 1222 installed on the mounting seat 1221, the transmission assembly 1222 is power-coupled with the fixing unit 121, and the cup holder 131 is connected to the mounting seat 1221; the lifting mechanism 120 also includes a coil spring 123, the coil spring 123 is connected to the mounting seat 1221 and the transmission assembly 1222, the coil spring 123 is used to store energy and drive the transmission assembly 1222 to move when the limit member 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, thereby driving the lifting unit 122 to reset.

[0098] The cup holder seat 131 is connected to the mounting seat 1221, and the transmission assembly 1222 is installed on the mounting seat 1221, so the cup holder seat 131 and the transmission assembly 1222 will rise and fall synchronously with the mounting seat 1221. Since the transmission assembly 1222 is power-coupled with the fixing unit 121, when the transmission assembly 1222 rises and falls synchronously with the mounting seat 1221, the transmission assembly 1222 will move relative to the mounting seat 1221, so that the transmission assembly 1222 can drive the coil spring 123 to rotate, so that the coil spring 123 stores energy, and when the coil spring 123 releases energy, the coil spring 123 can drive the transmission assembly 1222 to move, so that the transmission assembly 1222 and the fixing unit 121 move relative to each other, so that the lifting unit 122 is reset to its initial position.

[0099] Specifically, in these embodiments, the lifting unit 122 is manually operated to make the lifting unit 122 rise or fall. If the lifting unit 122 is manually operated to fall, the transmission assembly 1222 will drive the coil spring 123 to rotate during the process of the lifting unit 122 falling, so that the coil spring 123 stores energy. When the lock tongue 1421 is outside the locking position 1221a and the limiter 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 will release the stored energy and drive the transmission assembly 1222 to move, thereby driving the lifting unit 122 to move upward and reset to the initial position at the high position. If the lifting unit 122 is manually operated to rise, the transmission assembly 1222 will drive the coil spring 123 to rotate during the process of the lifting unit 122 rising, so that the coil spring 123 stores energy. When the limiter 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 will release the stored energy and drive the transmission assembly 1222 to move, thereby driving the lifting unit 122 to move downward and reset to the initial position at the low position.

[0100] In some embodiments, the lifting unit 122 is lowered by manually pressing the support mechanism 130, and the coil spring 123 stores energy during the lowering process of the lifting unit 122; when the lock tongue 1421 is outside the locking position 1221a and the limit member 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 releases the stored energy and drives the transmission assembly 1222 to move upward, thereby driving the support mechanism 130 to move upward and reset to the initial position when it is not pressed.

[0101] Figure 11 Fig.14 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing unit 121 is a second rack arranged along the depth direction of the mounting groove, and the transmission assembly 1222 includes a coil spring gear 12221 and a traveling gear 12222; the coil spring gear 12221 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 1221, and the coil spring 123 is connected to the coil spring gear 12221 and the mounting seat 1221; the traveling gear 12222 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 1221 and the cup holder 131, and is meshed with the second rack and the coil spring gear 12221.

[0102] The coil spring gear 12221 and the travel gear 12222 are both rotatably connected to the mounting base 1221, so that the coil spring gear 12221 and the travel gear 12222 can rotate. The travel gear 12222 is meshed with the coil spring gear 12221, so that when the travel gear 12222 rotates, the coil spring gear 12221 can be driven to rotate, and when the coil spring gear 12221 rotates, the travel gear 12222 can be driven to rotate. The travel gear 12222 is meshed with the second rack, and a gear rack structure is formed between the travel gear 12222 and the second rack. When the travel gear 12222 rotates, it moves along the length direction of the second rack, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the lifting unit 122.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the mounting seat 1221 and the cup holder seat 131 are connected via a running gear 12222, and the running gear 12222 is rotatably connected to both the mounting seat 1221 and the cup holder seat 131. It is easy to understand that the lifting mechanism 120 is located outside the storage tank 110a, and the supporting mechanism 130 is located inside the storage tank 110a. Figure 6 As shown, the side wall of the box body 110 should be provided with a second avoidance hole 110d that avoids the traveling gear 12222 and extends in the depth direction of the storage slot 110a, so that at least a portion of the traveling gear 12222 can extend into the storage slot 110a and be rotatably connected to the cup holder 131. In these embodiments, when the locking tongue 1421 is located outside the locking position 1221a and the limiting member 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 will release the stored energy and drive the transmission assembly 1222 to move upward until the traveling gear 12222 abuts against the upper end surface of the second avoidance hole 110d, and the lifting unit 122 is locked in a high position by the abutment of the traveling gear 12222 against the upper end surface of the second avoidance hole 110d.

[0104] In some embodiments, the lifting unit 122 is lowered by manually pressing the support mechanism 130, and the lifting unit 122 is reset to the high initial position by the action of the coil spring 123. Specifically, when the support mechanism 130 is manually pressed, the lifting mechanism 120 is lowered, and the traveling gear 12222 rotates under the action of the second rack, and the traveling gear 12222 drives the coil spring gear 12221 to rotate, and the coil spring gear 12221 drives the coil spring 123 to rotate, so that the coil spring 123 accumulates force. When the limiter 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 releases energy, and the coil spring 123 rotates, driving the coil spring gear 12221 to rotate, thereby driving the traveling gear 12222 to rotate, and because the traveling gear 12222 is meshed with the second rack, the lifting unit 122 rises.

[0105] In some embodiments, the lifting unit 122 is raised by manually lifting the support mechanism 130, and the lifting unit 122 is reset to the low initial position by the action of the coil spring 123. Specifically, when the support mechanism 130 is manually lifted, the lifting mechanism 120 rises, the traveling gear 12222 rotates under the action of the second rack, the traveling gear 12222 drives the coil spring gear 12221 to rotate, and the coil spring gear 12221 drives the coil spring 123 to rotate, so that the coil spring 123 accumulates force. When the limiter 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 releases energy, the coil spring 123 rotates, and drives the coil spring gear 12221 to rotate, thereby driving the traveling gear 12222 to rotate. Since the traveling gear 12222 is meshed with the second rack, the lifting unit 122 descends.

[0106] The number of the second rack can be one or two. Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments, two second racks are provided, and the two second racks are respectively located on both sides of the coil spring gear 12221, and two traveling gears 12222 are provided, and the two traveling gears 12222 are respectively meshed with the two second racks.

[0107] like Fig.14 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 1222 further includes a damper 12223 mounted on the seat body 1311, and the damper 12223 is meshed with the traveling gear 12222 and the coil spring gear 12221, that is, the traveling gear 12222 and the coil spring gear 12221 are connected through the damper 12223, the traveling gear 12222 drives the damper 12223 to rotate, and the damper 12223 drives the coil spring gear 12221 to rotate. The damper 12223 can improve the operating feel of the passenger, and the specific structure of the damper 12223 is diverse and known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0108] like Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the support mechanism 130 also includes a first limit member 133 installed on the cup holder seat 131; one side of the cup holder assembly 132 is rotatably connected to the cup holder seat 131, and the cup holder assembly 132 rotates relative to the cup holder seat 131 to switch between an expanded state for supporting a water cup and a folded state in contact with the side wall of the storage slot 110a, and in the expanded state, the first limit member 133 supports the cup holder assembly 132.

[0109] One side of the cup holder assembly 132 is rotatably connected to the cup holder seat 131, and the cup holder assembly 132 can rotate around the cup holder seat 131. When the cup holder assembly 132 rotates to fit the side wall of the storage tank 110a, the cup holder assembly 132 is in a folded state. Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the cup holder assembly 132 is rotated away from the side wall of the storage slot 110a, the cup holder assembly 132 is in an unfolded state, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the cup holder assembly 132 is in the unfolded state, a water cup can be placed on the cup holder assembly 132, and the cup holder assembly 132 supports the water cup to prevent the water cup from shaking and tipping over during the driving of the vehicle. When the cup holder assembly 132 is not in use, the cup holder assembly 132 can be adjusted to a folded state, at which time the cup holder assembly 132 fits against the side wall of the storage slot 110a, which can reduce the interference of the cup holder assembly 132 with other items stored in the storage box 100 to a certain extent, making it easier to place items such as water cups, tissues, and keys in the storage slot 110a.

[0110] The first stopper 133 supports the cup holder assembly 132 so that the cup holder assembly 132 can remain in the unfolded state and prevent the cup holder assembly 132 from rotating to the folded state around the cup holder seat 131. The structure of the first stopper 133 is diverse and can be a torsion spring, a plunger, etc., which is not limited in this application.

[0111] like Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the cup holder assembly 132 includes a cup holder 1321 and a bottom support 1322, one side of the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322 is rotatably connected to the cup holder seat 131, and one side of the bottom support 1322 is rotatably connected to the cup holder 1321; two first limiting members 133 are provided, one of which abuts against the cup holder 1321 and the cup holder seat 131, and the other abuts against the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322; in the unfolded state, the first limiting member 133 supports the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322, so that the cup holder 1321 is set at an angle to the side wall of the storage slot 110a, and the bottom support 1322 is set at an angle to the cup holder 1321, and the bottom support 1322 is located below the cup holder 1321.

[0112] The cup holder 1321 is rotatably connected to the cup holder seat 131, and the bottom support 1322 is rotatably connected to the cup holder 1321, and both the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322 can rotate. The first limiting member 133 is provided with two, one of which is abutted against the cup holder 1321 and the cup holder seat 131, so that the cup holder 1321 can be kept in the unfolded state, and the other is abutted against the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322, so that the bottom support 1322 can be kept in the unfolded state. In the unfolded state, the first limiting member 133 applies a force to the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322, so that the cup holder 1321 is set at an angle with the side wall of the storage tank 110a, and also makes the bottom support 1322 and the cup holder 1321 set at an angle. In the unfolded state, the bottom support 1322 is located below the cup holder 1321. The angled setting can be a right angle setting, an obtuse angle setting, or an acute angle setting, which is not limited in this application.

[0113] In some embodiments, in the unfolded state, the cup holder 1321 is vertically disposed with respect to the side wall of the storage tank 110a, and the bottom support 1322 is disposed at a 45° angle with respect to the cup holder 1321. In some embodiments, the bottom support 1322 is rotatably connected to the cup holder 1321 at one side close to the cup holder seat 131.

[0114] The cup holder 1321 limits the position of the water cup in the horizontal direction to reduce the shaking of the water cup, and the bottom support 1322 supports the bottom of the water cup. It is easy to understand that the cup holder 1321 is provided with a limiting hole, such as Fig.13As shown, at least part of the cup holder bottom support 1322 is located below the water cup. After the lower part of the water cup passes through the cup holder 1321 through the limiting hole, it is supported on the bottom support 1322. The cup holder 1321 is sleeved outside the water cup to limit the water cup in the horizontal direction and reduce the shaking amplitude of the water cup.

[0115] In some implementations, the first limiting member 133 is an elastic member, and the supporting mechanism 130 further includes a second limiting member 134 mounted on the cup holder assembly 132 . In the folded state, the second limiting member 134 overcomes the elastic force of the first limiting member 133 and is connected to the lifting unit 122 .

[0116] The second limiting member 134 is used to limit the cup holder assembly 132 so that the cup holder assembly 132 can be kept in a folded state. The first limiting member 133 is an elastic member. When the cup holder assembly 132 is in a folded state, the first limiting member 133 is in a compressed state, and the second limiting member 134 needs to overcome the elastic force of the first limiting member 133 to connect with the lifting unit 122. When the second limiting member 134 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the cup holder assembly 132 can be in an unfolded state under the elastic force of the first limiting member 133. When the first limiting member 133 is an elastic member, the second limiting member 134 is provided so that the cup holder assembly 132 can be kept in a folded state, and the cup holder assembly 132 is prevented from automatically unfolding when supporting a water cup, so that items such as a water cup, a tissue, and a key can be placed in the storage slot 110a.

[0117] In some embodiments, the first stopper 133 is a torsion spring. In some embodiments, the second stopper 134 is disposed on the cup holder frame 1321 of the cup holder assembly 132 and is disposed on a side of the cup holder frame 1321 away from the cup holder seat 131 .

[0118] The first stopper 133 may be an elastic member or a non-elastic member such as a support rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the cup holder 131, and in the unfolded state, the other end of which abuts against the cup holder 1321 and is supported on the bottom support 1322. The structure of the first stopper 133 is diverse and is not limited in this application. When the first stopper 133 is a non-elastic member, the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322 will not automatically unfold, and the second stopper 134 may not be provided.

[0119] It is easy to understand that, since the cup holder assembly 132 is disposed in the storage slot 110a and the lifting unit 122 is disposed outside the storage slot 110a, a third avoidance hole 110e is provided on the side wall of the storage box 100 for avoiding the second stopper 134, so that the second stopper 134 can pass through the side wall of the box body 110 through the third avoidance hole 110e and then connect with the lifting unit 122. Figure 1As shown, the third avoidance hole 110e can be a strip hole extending along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a, and the design of the strip hole; Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of third avoidance holes 100e may be provided at intervals along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a, and the positions of the respective third avoidance holes 100e correspond to the positions of the second limiting members 134 at different heights, which are not limited in the present application.

[0120] like Figure 8 and Fig.12 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 120 also includes a PUSH-PUSH lock body 124 installed on the lifting unit 122, and the second limiting member 134 is a PUSH-PUSH lock tongue adapted to the PUSH-PUSH lock body 124. When connected, the PUSH-PUSH lock tongue is located in the PUSH-PUSH lock body 124.

[0121] The structures of the PUSH-PUSH lock body 124 and the PUSH-PUSH lock tongue are various and well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here. With this design, the operator can press the cup holder 1321 to connect the cup holder 1321 to the lifting unit 122, and press the cup holder 1321 again to separate the cup holder 1321 from the lifting unit 122, which facilitates the connection and separation of the cup holder 1321 and the lifting unit 122.

[0122] In some embodiments, the PUSH-PUSH lock body 124 is disposed on the mounting base 1221 of the lifting unit 122 .

[0123] like Fig.15 , Fig.16 , Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, in some embodiments, the cup holder seat 131 includes a seat body 1311, a mounting shaft 1312, a load-bearing member 1313 and a load-bearing sleeve 1314, the mounting shaft 1312 is fixedly connected to the seat body 1311, the load-bearing sleeve 1314 is fixedly sleeved on the mounting shaft 1312, the cup holder assembly 132 is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft 1312, the seat body 1311 is connected to the lifting unit 122; the circumferential surface of the load-bearing sleeve 1314 is provided with a guide groove 1314a and a device The load-bearing part 13141 is disposed in the guide groove 1314a, one end of the load-bearing part 1313 is fixedly connected to the cup holder assembly 132, and the other end is located in the guide groove 1314a; wherein, in the unfolded state, the other end of the load-bearing part 1313 can slide along the guide groove 1314a to abut against the load-bearing part 13141; in the folded state, the other end of the load-bearing part 1313 can slide along the guide groove 1314a to separate from the load-bearing part 13141.

[0124] Specifically, the guide groove 1314a includes a first groove section 1314b, a second groove section 1314c and a third groove section 1314d which are interconnected. When the cup holder assembly 132 is in a folded state, the other end of the load-bearing member 1313 is located in the first groove section 1314b, and when the cup holder assembly 132 is in an unfolded state, the other end of the load-bearing member 1313 abuts against the bearing portion. In the process of the cup holder assembly 132 changing from a folded state to an unfolded state, the other end of the load-bearing member 1313, driven by the cup holder assembly 132, slides from the first groove section 1314b to the second groove section 1314c and abuts against the bearing portion 13141; in the process of the cup holder assembly 132 changing from an unfolded state to a folded state, the other end of the load-bearing member 1313, driven by the cup holder assembly 132, first slides into the third groove section 1314d and then slides into the first groove section 1314b.

[0125] Specifically, when folding the cup holder assembly 132, the cup holder assembly 132 is lifted up so that the other end of the load-bearing member 1313 is separated from the load-bearing portion 13141 and enters the third groove section 1314d, and then the cup holder assembly 132 is pressed down, and the load-bearing portion 13141 slides along the third groove section 1314d to the first groove section 1314b, thereby achieving the folding of the cup holder assembly 132.

[0126] With this design, when the cup holder assembly 132 is in the unfolded state, the load-bearing member 1313 can abut against the load-bearing portion 13141 to prevent the cup holder assembly 132 from rotating around the folding direction. The cup holder assembly 132 is supported not only by the first limit member 133 but also by the load-bearing member 1313, which helps to improve the load-bearing performance of the cup holder assembly 132, so that the cup holder assembly 132 can support a heavier cup.

[0127] In the embodiment where the cup holder assembly 132 includes a cup holder frame 1321 and a bottom support 1322, the cup holder frame 132 of the cup holder assembly 132 is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft 1312, and the load bearing member 1313 is fixedly connected to the cup holder frame 1321 of the cup holder assembly 132. In the embodiment where the lifting unit 122 includes a traveling gear 12222, the seat body 1311 is rotatably connected to the traveling gear 12222 of the lifting unit 122.

[0128] like Fig.19 As shown, in some embodiments, the support mechanism 130 further includes a third limiting member 135 mounted on the cup holder seat 131, and two limiting grooves 1321a are spaced apart from each other on one side of the cup holder assembly 132 and the cup holder seat 131 being rotatably connected. In the unfolded state, the third limiting member 135 is located in one of the limiting grooves 1321a, and in the folded state, the third limiting member 135 is located in the other limiting groove 1321a.

[0129] It is easy to understand that the two limiting grooves 1321a are arranged at intervals around the rotating shaft of the cup holder assembly 132. The third limiting member 135 is installed on the cup holder seat 131, and the cup holder assembly 132 is arranged on the seat body 1311. Since the cup holder assembly 132 is rotatably connected to the cup holder seat 131, the cup holder assembly 132 can move relative to the third limiting member 135, so that the third limiting member 135 can be located in the two limiting grooves 1321a respectively. Specifically, when the cup holder assembly 132 is in the unfolded state, the third limiting member 135 is located in one of the limiting grooves 1321a, and the third limiting member 135 contacts the groove wall of the limiting groove 1321a. The third limiting member 135 limits the cup holder assembly 132. Under the action of the third limiting member 135, the cup holder assembly 132 cannot continue to unfold. When the cup holder assembly 132 is in the folded state, the third limiting member 135 is located in another limiting groove 1321a, and the third limiting member 135 contacts the groove wall of the limiting groove 1321a. The third limiting member 135 limits the cup holder assembly 132. Under the action of the third limiting member 135, the cup holder assembly 132 cannot be further folded.

[0130] With this design, the third limiting member 135 limits the folded state and the unfolded state of the cup holder assembly 132 respectively, so that the cup holder assembly 132 cannot continue to rotate after it rotates to the unfolded state, and assists the first limiting member 133 in limiting the cup holder assembly 132, which helps to ensure that the cup holder assembly 132 remains in the unfolded state and prevents the cup holder assembly 132 from being over-expanded; with this design, the cup holder assembly 132 cannot continue to rotate after it rotates to the folded state, and assists the second limiting member 142 in limiting the cup holder assembly 132, which helps to ensure that the cup holder assembly 132 remains in the folded state and prevents the cup holder assembly 132 from being over-folded and broken.

[0131] In the embodiment where the cup holder assembly 132 includes a cup holder frame 1321 and a bottom support 1322 , the limiting groove 1321 a is formed on the cup holder frame 1321 .

[0132] In some embodiments, the third limiting member 135 is a plunger. The structure of the plunger is diverse and is known to those skilled in the art. When the cup holder assembly 132 is in a folded state or an unfolded state, the steel ball of the plunger is located in the limiting groove 1321a. When the cup holder assembly 132 rotates, the steel ball of the plunger is located outside the limiting groove 1321a.

[0133] like Figure 1 and Fig.12 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the box body 110 is provided with a sinking area 110 b , and in the folded state, the cup holder assembly 132 is located in the sinking area 110 b .

[0134] When the cup holder assembly 132 is in the folded state, the cup holder assembly 132 is partially or completely located in the sinking area 110b. This design can reduce the space occupied by the storage slot 110a when the cup holder assembly 132 is in the folded state, reduce the interference of the cup holder assembly 132 with other items in the storage slot 110a when not in use, and facilitate the storage slot 110a to store umbrellas, keys, mobile phones, tissues, etc. The shape and size of the sinking area 110b should be compatible with the shape and size of the cup holder assembly 132 to ensure that the cup holder assembly 132 can be located in the sinking area 110b.

[0135] like Figure 1 and Fig.12 As shown, in some embodiments, the support mechanism 130 further includes a guide member 136 mounted on the box body 110 . The guide member 136 is disposed in the sinking area 110 b . The cup holder 131 is slidably connected to the guide member 136 along the lifting direction.

[0136] The cup holder 131 slides up and down driven by the lifting unit 122, and the guide member 136 provides guidance for the cup holder 131, which helps to ensure the sliding stability of the cup holder 131 and reduce the shaking of the cup holder 131 when sliding, thereby reducing the shaking of the water cup and ensuring the stability of the water cup.

[0137] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 1221 and the cup holder 131 are connected via a running gear 12222, and the running gear 12222 is rotatably connected to both the mounting seat 1221 and the cup holder 131. A second avoidance hole 110d is provided on the side wall of the box body 110 to avoid the running gear 12222 and to extend in the depth direction of the storage slot 110a, so that at least a portion of the running gear 12222 can extend into the storage slot 110a and be rotatably connected to the cup holder 131. In these embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second avoidance hole 110d is opened behind the guide member 136 , and the guide member 136 shields the second avoidance hole 110d , which helps to ensure the aesthetics of the storage box 100 .

[0138] The working principle of the storage box 100 is described below:

[0139] When a water cup needs to be placed on the cup holder assembly 132:

[0140] When the passenger presses the area on the cup holder 1321 where the second limiting member 134 is provided, the second limiting member 134 is separated from the PUSH-PUSH lock body 124 due to the PUSH-PUSH structure, the cup holder 1321 is unlocked from the mounting seat 1221 of the lifting unit 122, and the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322 rotate upward around the mounting shaft 1312 of the mounting seat 1221 under the action of the first limiting member 133 until the third limiting member 135 extends into one of the limiting grooves 1321a of the cup holder 1321; During the upward rotation, the other end of the load-bearing member 1313, driven by the cup holder assembly 132, slides from the first groove section 1314b to the second groove section 1314c, and abuts against the load-bearing portion 13141; when the third limiting member 135 extends into the limiting groove 1321a of the cup holder seat 131, the cup holder assembly 132 is in an expanded state, and the passenger can place a water cup on the cup holder assembly 132. Specifically, the bottom of the water cup contacts the bottom support 1322, the bottom support 1322 supports the water cup, and the cup holder 1321 is sleeved outside the water cup to prevent the water cup from shaking.

[0141] When no cup is placed on the cup holder assembly 132:

[0142] The passenger first lifts up the cup holder assembly 132, so that the other end of the load-bearing member 1313 is separated from the load-bearing portion 13141 and enters the third groove section 1314d, and then presses down the cup holder assembly 132, and the load-bearing portion 13141 slides along the third groove section 1314d to the first groove section 1314b, so that the cup holder assembly 132 can be folded, and the cup holder frame 1321 rotates downward around the mounting axis 1312 of the mounting seat 1221. Driven by the cup holder 1321, the bottom support 1322 will also rotate downward around the mounting shaft 1312 of the mounting seat 1221, and the second limiting member 134 on the cup holder 1321 will also rotate downward around the mounting shaft 1312. During the rotation of the cup holder 1321, the first limiting member 133 is compressed, and the first limiting member 133 gradually accumulates energy. When the second limiting member 134 rotates to pass through the third avoidance hole 110e and engages with the PUSH-PUSH lock body 124 on the lifting assembly, the cup holder assembly 132 is in a folded state. At this time, the third limiting member 135 extends into another limiting groove 1321a of the cup holder 1321.

[0143] When the height of the cup holder assembly 132 needs to be adjusted:

[0144] The passenger can press the button 1411, which will drive the connecting rod 1412 to move downward and the first reset member 1413 to be gradually compressed, the connecting rod 1412 will drive the limiting member 142 to move in the direction away from the lifting unit 122 and the second reset member 1414 to be gradually compressed, the limiting member 142 will be separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 of the lifting unit 122 will release energy, the coil spring 123 will rotate, driving the coil spring gear 12221 to rotate, thereby driving the traveling gear 12222 to rotate, and since the traveling gear 12222 is meshed with the rack, the lifting unit 122 will rise, thereby causing the cup holder assembly 132 to rise. When the cup holder assembly 132 rises to the specified position, the passenger releases the button 1411, and the connecting rod 1412 and the button 1411 will rise under the action of the first reset member 1413, and the limiting member 142 will move toward the lifting unit 122 under the action of the second reset member 1414 and connect with the lifting unit 122, and the lifting unit 122 will be locked by the limiting member 142.

[0145] When the height of the cup holder assembly 132 needs to be lowered:

[0146] The passenger can press the button 1411 with one hand, the button 1411 drives the connecting rod 1412 to move downward and the first reset member 1413 is gradually compressed, the connecting rod 1412 drives the limiting member 142 to move in the direction away from the lifting unit 122 and the second reset member 1414 is gradually compressed, and the limiting member 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122; the passenger presses the cup holder assembly 132 with the other hand to make the cup holder assembly 132 descend, when the cup holder assembly 132 descends to the specified height, the passenger releases the hand pressing the button 1411, so that the limiting member 142 is reset and the lifting unit 122 is locked by the limiting member 142, and then releases the hand pressing the cup holder assembly 132, and the cup holder assembly 132 is locked at the specified height. In an embodiment where the limiting member 142 is provided with more than two locking positions 1221a, the limiting member 142 is a rack with ratchet teeth, and the locking tongue 1421 is a pawl, the passenger can directly press the cup holder assembly 132 without pressing the button 1411 to make the cup holder assembly 132 descend.
