DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0060] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall 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 and movement status of 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 specified or limited, the terms "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0063] In addition, in the present invention, descriptions such as "first" and "second" are for descriptive purposes only and should not 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 such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such 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 fall over. In serious cases, the water in the cup may spill out. Generally, a cup holder is used to support and fix the cup.

[0065] To simplify the design of a cup holder, the cup holder typically features a slot within which the cup is placed. The slot's bottom and side walls support and restrain the cup, limiting its placement to a fixed height. When the cup is too low, the cup's extension from the cup holder is short, making it difficult for passengers to reach. When the cup is too high, the cup's extension from the cup holder is long, making it susceptible to vehicle jolting and shaking during driving, resulting in poor stability and a tendency for the cup to tip over.

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

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

[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 110 a.

[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, or of course can be installed in other locations on 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 fixing unit 121 and a lifting unit 122. The lifting unit 122 is lifted and lowered relative to the fixing unit 121 along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a. The fixing unit 121 is installed on the box body 110 and / or the vehicle body.

[0072] The fixing unit 121 can be mounted on the housing 110, the vehicle body, or both. The fixing unit 121 guides the lifting unit 122, allowing it to rise or fall along the depth of the storage slot 110a. Both the lifting unit 122 and the fixing unit 121 are located outside the storage slot 110a and do not occupy space within the storage slot 110a.

[0073] like Figure 1 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the support mechanism 130 is located in the storage tank 110 a 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 slot 110a. Specifically, it includes a cup seat 131 and a cup holder assembly 132. The cup seat 131 is connected with the lifting unit 122, so that the cup seat 131 can rise or fall with the lifting unit 122, and thus the height of the cup seat 131 can be adjusted. The cup holder assembly 132 is used to support the water cup and is installed on the cup seat 131, so that the cup holder assembly 132 can rise or fall with the lifting unit 122, and thus the height of the cup holder assembly 132 can be adjusted.

[0075] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 The limiting mechanism 140 is located outside the storage slot 110a and includes an unlocking unit 141 and a limiting piece 142 installed on the unlocking unit 141. The limiting piece 142 is connected or separated with 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 the unlocking unit 141 and the limiting piece 142, and the limiting piece 142 is installed on the unlocking unit 141. The unlocking unit 141 can be installed on the vehicle body, on the box body 110, or on both the vehicle body and the box body 110. The unlocking unit 141 can drive the limiting piece 142 to move, so that the limiting piece 142 can be connected or separated with the lifting unit 122. Specifically, the limiting piece 142 is used to limit the lifting unit 122. When the lifting unit 122 is lowered or raised to a certain height position, the lifting unit 122 can be fixed at the height position by connecting the limiting piece 142 with the lifting unit 122, and thus the support mechanism 130 is fixed at the height. The structure of the limiting piece 142 is various. The limiting piece 142 can be a protrusion. When the protrusion extends into the lifting unit 122, the limiting piece 142 is connected with the lifting unit 122. When the protrusion is located outside the lifting unit 122, the limiting piece 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122.

[0077] Among them, the cup holder assembly 132 is driven by the lifting unit 122 to be located at least two height positions in the storage slot 110a. When the cup holder assembly 132 is located at a certain height position, it is locked by the limiting piece 142 connected with the lifting unit 122, or by the lifting unit 122 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 supporting mechanism 130 is installed on the lifting unit 122, and the cup holder assembly 132 is installed on the cup holder seat 131, so that the cup holder assembly 132 can be driven by the lifting unit 122. Under the driving of the lifting unit 122 rising or falling, the cup holder assembly 132 can be located at least two height positions in the storage groove 110a, so that the water cup on the cup holder assembly 132 can be located at least two height positions in the storage groove 110a. When the cup holder assembly 132 is located at a certain height position, the lifting unit 122 is locked by the limiting piece 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 the contact and abutment between the lifting unit 122 and the box body 110, and then the lifting unit 122 is locked at a certain height position.

[0079] The lifting unit 122 can be driven to rise or fall by hand, and of course can be driven to rise or fall by a motor or the like. In some embodiments, the lifting unit 122 is driven to fall by hand, the lifting mechanism 120 stores energy during the falling process, and under the condition that the limiting piece 142 and the lifting unit 122 are connected, the lifting mechanism 120 is locked at the low position, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 After the limiting piece 142 and the lifting unit 122 are separated, the lifting unit 122 can automatically rise to the high position due to the energy stored during the falling process of the lifting unit 122, until the lifting unit 122 abuts against the box body 110, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the lifting unit 122 is driven to rise by hand, the lifting mechanism 120 stores energy during the rising process, and under the condition that the limiting piece 142 and the lifting unit 122 are connected, the lifting mechanism 120 is locked at the high position; after the limiting piece 142 and the lifting unit 122 are separated, the lifting unit 122 can automatically fall to the bottom position due to the energy stored during the rising process of the lifting unit 122, until the lifting unit 122 abuts against the box body 110.

[0080] The cup holder assembly 132 can be located at different heights under the driving of 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, and the water cups of different heights can be at a height convenient for users to take; on the other hand, when the cup holder assembly 132 is not placed on a water cup, the cup holder assembly 132 can be adjusted to a position that does not interfere with the storage of other objects in the storage groove 110a, thereby facilitating the storage of other objects in the storage groove 110a.

[0081] The lifting mechanism 120 and the limiting mechanism 140 of the storage box 100 are both located outside the storage groove 110a. On the one hand, the storage box 100 does not occupy the space of the storage groove 110a, and the space below the cup holder assembly 132 can be utilized, thereby increasing the utilization rate of the storage groove 110a, and helping to improve the utilization rate of the space in the vehicle, facilitating the storage of umbrellas, keys, mobile phones, paper towels and other articles in the storage groove 110a; on the other hand, the lifting range of the cup holder assembly 132 can be designed to be larger, to a certain extent, avoiding the interference of the cup holder assembly 132 with other articles in the storage groove 110a, and more conveniently supporting water cups with different heights.

[0082] In some embodiments, one of the limiting piece 142 and the lifting unit 122 is provided with a lock tongue 1421, and the other is provided with a lock position 1221a. Under the driving of the unlocking unit 141, the lock tongue 1421 and the lock position 1221a move relative to each other to be locked or unlocked.

[0083] Specifically, under the driving 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 clamped, so that the limiting piece 142 is connected with the lifting unit 122, and then the lifting unit 122 is locked, so that the lifting unit 122 cannot be lifted or lowered. Specifically, under the driving of the unlocking unit 141, the lock tongue 1421 can be located outside the lock position 1221a, so that the limiting piece 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, and then the lifting unit 122 is unlocked, so that the lifting unit 122 can be lifted or lowered. The number of the lock position 1221a can be one or more, and the number of the lock position 1221a is related to the number of positions that need to be locked by the lifting unit 122. The user can adaptively design according to the specific situation, and the number of the lock position 1221a is not limited in the present application.

[0084] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 8 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 slidingly connected to the box body 110 or the vehicle body along the depth direction of the storage groove 110a. One side of the connecting rod 1412 is connected with the button 1411, and the limiting piece 142 is installed on the connecting rod 1412. Under the driving of the button 1411, the connecting rod 1412 drives the limiting piece 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, meaning that after the storage box 100 is installed on the vehicle body, the button 1411 is visible and visible to the passenger. 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 slides downward along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a. The limiting member 142 is mounted on a connecting rod 1412. The connecting rod 1412, driven by the button 1411, drives the limiting member 142 to move, thereby causing the limiting member 142 and the lifting unit 122 to move relative to each other, thereby achieving relative movement between 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 and convenient for passengers.

[0086] like Figure 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] Because 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 achieving relative movement between the limiting member 142 and the lifting unit 122, that is, achieving relative movement between the lock 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, causing the connecting rod 1412 to slide upward and move to its initial, unpressed position. The movement of the connecting rod 1412 can drive the button 1411 to move, also causing the button 1411 to move to its initial, unpressed position. One end of the second restoring member 1414 contacts the limit 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 limit member 142 when the passenger releases the button 1411, so that the limit member 142 moves to the initial position when the button 1411 is not pressed.

[0088] like Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, a through hole is opened in the middle of the limit member 142, and the inner wall of the through hole is provided with an upward inclined surface. Part of the connecting rod 1412 is located in the through hole, and the side wall of the connecting rod 1412 is provided with a downward inclined surface. The inclined surface of the limit member 142 is parallel to and in contact with the inclined surface of the connecting rod 1412. The limit member 142 is also slidably connected to the box body 110, so that the limit member 142 can slide in the direction close to the lifting unit 122 (such as Figure 10 , i.e., sliding to the left), or sliding in a direction away from the lifting unit 122 (as shown Figure 10 As shown, that is, sliding to the right), the left end of the second reset member 1414 contacts the limit 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 provided 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 provided 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 limit member 142 to slide in the direction away from the lifting unit 122 (as shown in FIG. Figure 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. Figure 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 mounted 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 compressed to store energy. When the button 1411 is not pressed, the first reset member 1413 and the second reset member 1414 recover their deformation, thereby driving the limit member 142 and the connecting rod 1412 to reset.

[0090] like Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the locking tongue 1421 is provided on the limit 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 provided on the limiting member 142. 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 height adjustment of the cup holder assembly 132. The two height positions of the lifting unit 122 are respectively a high position and a low position. 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 shown Figure 5 and Figure 8 shown.

[0092] like Figure 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 limiting member 142 is provided with two or more locking positions 1221a spaced apart along the lifting direction of the lifting unit 122. The lifting unit 122 is provided with a locking tongue 1421. 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 located at more than two height positions, thereby realizing multi-level height adjustment of the cup holder assembly 132, making it convenient for passengers to place cups of different heights.

[0094] like Figure 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 pawl.

[0095] It is easy to understand that the cross-section of the ratchet is triangular, the groove formed between two adjacent ratchets is the lock position 1221a, the cross-section of the pawl is also triangular, and the pawl and 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, it drives the pawl 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, locking the lifting unit 122 and preventing it from moving upward. When the button 1411 is pressed downward, the rack moves away from the lifting unit 122, causing the first rack to separate from the pawl, thereby unlocking the lifting unit 122 and allowing it to slide upward.

[0097] like Figure 9 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting unit 122 includes a mounting seat 1221 and a transmission assembly 1222 mounted on the mounting seat 1221, the transmission assembly 1222 is power-coupled to 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 131 is connected to the mounting base 1221, and the transmission assembly 1222 is mounted on the mounting base 1221. Therefore, the cup holder 131 and the transmission assembly 1222 will rise and fall synchronously with the mounting base 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 base 1221, the transmission assembly 1222 and the mounting base 1221 will move relative to each other, thereby enabling the transmission assembly 1222 to drive the coil spring 123 to rotate, causing the coil spring 123 to store energy. When the coil spring 123 releases energy, the coil spring 123 can drive the transmission assembly 1222 to move, thereby causing the transmission assembly 1222 and the fixing unit 121 to move relative to each other, causing the lifting unit 122 to return to its initial position.

[0099] Specifically, in these embodiments, the lifting unit 122 is raised or lowered by manual operation. If the lifting unit 122 is lowered by manual operation, the transmission assembly 1222 drives the coil spring 123 to rotate during the lowering of the lifting unit 122, so that the coil spring 123 stores energy. When the locking tongue 1421 is located outside the locking position 1221a and the limiting piece 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 releases the stored energy to drive the transmission assembly 1222 to move upward, 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 raised by manual operation, the transmission assembly 1222 drives the coil spring 123 to rotate during the raising of the lifting unit 122, so that the coil spring 123 stores energy. When the limiting piece 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 releases the stored energy to drive the transmission assembly 1222 to move downward, 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 of the lifting unit 122. When the locking tongue 1421 is located outside the locking position 1221a and the limiting piece 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 releases the stored energy to drive the transmission assembly 1222 to move upward, thereby driving the support mechanism 130 to move upward and reset to the initial position when not pressed.

[0101] As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 Figure 14 In some embodiments, the fixed 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 walking gear 12222. The coil spring gear 12221 is rotationally 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 walking gear 12222 is rotationally connected to the mounting seat 1221 and the cup holder seat 131, and is engaged with the second rack and the coil spring gear 12221.

[0102] The coil spring gear 12221 and the walking gear 12222 are both rotationally connected to the mounting seat 1221, so that the coil spring gear 12221 and the walking gear 12222 can rotate. The walking gear 12222 is engaged with the coil spring gear 12221, so that the walking gear 12222 can drive the coil spring gear 12221 to rotate when the walking gear 12222 rotates, and the coil spring gear 12221 can drive the walking gear 12222 to rotate when the coil spring gear 12221 rotates. The walking gear 12222 is engaged with the second rack, and a gear and rack structure is formed between the walking gear 12222 and the second rack. The walking gear 12222 moves along the length direction of the second rack while rotating, thereby achieving the lifting of the lifting unit 122.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the mounting base 1221 and the cup holder 131 are connected via a travel gear 12222, which is rotatably connected to both the mounting base 1221 and the cup holder 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 extending along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a to avoid the travel gear 12222. This allows at least a portion of the travel gear 12222 to extend into the storage slot 110a and be rotatably connected to the cup holder 131. In these embodiments, when the locking tongue 1421 is outside the locking position 1221a and the limiting member 142 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the coil spring 123 releases stored energy, driving the transmission assembly 1222 upward until the travel gear 12222 abuts against the upper end surface of the second avoidance hole 110d. The lifting unit 122 is locked in the high position by the abutment between the travel gear 12222 and 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 its initial high position by the action of the coil spring 123. Specifically, when the support mechanism 130 is manually pressed, the lifting mechanism 120 descends, and the travel gear 12222 rotates under the action of the second rack. The travel gear 12222 drives the coil spring gear 12221 to rotate, and the coil spring gear 12221 drives the coil spring 123 to rotate, causing the coil spring 123 to accumulate force. When the limit member 142 separates 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 travel gear 12222 to rotate. As the travel gear 12222 engages 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 its 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 travel gear 12222 rotates under the action of the second rack, the travel gear 12222 drives the coil spring gear 12221 to rotate, and the coil spring gear 12221 drives the coil spring 123 to rotate, causing the coil spring 123 to accumulate force. When the limit member 142 separates 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 travel gear 12222 to rotate. As the travel gear 12222 engages with the second rack, the lifting unit 122 descends.

[0106] The number of the second rack can be one or two. Figure 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 engaged with the two second racks.

[0107] like Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 1222 further includes a damper 12223 mounted on the seat body 1311. The damper 12223 is engaged with the traveling gear 12222 and the coil spring gear 12221. In other words, the traveling gear 12222 and the coil spring gear 12221 are connected via 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 provision of the damper 12223 can improve the operating feel for passengers. The specific structure of the damper 12223 is diverse and well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0108] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the support mechanism 130 further includes a first limiting member 133 mounted 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 limiting 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 tank 110a, the cup holder assembly 132 is in the expanded state, as shown; Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the cup holder assembly 132 is in the unfolded state, a cup can be placed on it, supporting the cup and preventing it from shaking and tipping over while the vehicle is in motion. When not in use, the cup holder assembly 132 can be adjusted to a folded state, where it fits against the sidewalls of the storage slot 110a. This minimizes interference with other items stored in the storage box 100, making it easier to place items such as cups, tissues, and keys in the storage slot 110a.

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

[0111] like Figure 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; there are two first limiting members 133, one of which abuts the cup holder 1321 and the cup holder seat 131, and the other abuts 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 tank 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. Both the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322 are rotatable. Two first stoppers 133 are provided, one of which abuts the cup holder 1321 and the cup holder seat 131, maintaining the cup holder 1321 in the deployed state, and the other abuts the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322, maintaining the bottom support 1322 in the deployed state. In the deployed state, the first stopper 133 applies a force to the cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322, causing the cup holder 1321 to be positioned at an angle to the sidewall of the storage tank 110a and the bottom support 1322 to be positioned at an angle to the cup holder 1321. In the deployed state, the bottom support 1322 is positioned below the cup holder 1321. The angled arrangement can be a right angle, an obtuse angle, or an acute angle, which is not limited in this application.

[0113] In some embodiments, in the expanded state, the cup holder 1321 is perpendicular to the sidewall of the storage tank 110a, and the bottom support 1322 is arranged at a 45° angle to the cup holder 1321. In some embodiments, the bottom support 1322 is rotatably connected to the cup holder 1321 on a side adjacent to the cup holder seat 131.

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

[0115] In some embodiments, the first limiting member 133 is an elastic member, and the support mechanism 130 further comprises a second limiting member 134 mounted on the cup holder assembly 132, and in the folded state, the second limiting member 134 is connected with the lifting unit 122 by overcoming the elastic force of the first limiting member 133.

[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 the folded state. The first limiting member 133 is an elastic member, and when the cup holder assembly 132 is in the folded state, the first limiting member 133 is in the compressed state, and the second limiting member 134 needs to be connected with the lifting unit 122 by overcoming the elastic force of the first limiting member 133. When the second limiting member 134 is separated from the lifting unit 122, the cup holder assembly 132 can be in the unfolded state under the action of 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 the folded state, avoiding the automatic unfolding of the cup holder assembly 132 in the state of supporting the water cup, and facilitating the placement of the water cup, paper towel, key and other articles in the storage groove 110a.

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

[0118] In addition to being an elastic member, the first limiting member 133 can also be a non-elastic member such as a support rod, one end of which is rotationally connected with the cup holder seat 131, and in the unfolded state, the other end thereof abuts against the cup holder frame 1321 and is supported on the bottom support 1322. The structure of the first limiting member 133 is various, which is not limited in the present application. When the first limiting member 133 is a non-elastic member, the cup holder frame 1321 and the bottom support 1322 will not automatically unfold, and the second limiting member 134 can not be arranged.

[0119] It is easy to understand that since the cup holder assembly 132 is arranged in the storage groove 110a and the lifting unit 122 is arranged outside the storage groove 110a, a third avoiding hole 110e is arranged on the side wall of the storage box 100 for avoiding the second limiting member 134, so that the second limiting member 134 can pass through the third avoiding hole 110e of the side wall of the box body 110 and be connected with the lifting unit 122. It is easy to understand that, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the third avoidance hole 110e can be a strip hole extending along the depth direction of the storage tank 110a, and the design of the strip hole; Figure 5 As shown, multiple third avoidance holes 100e can also be opened at intervals along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a. The position of each third avoidance hole 100e corresponds to the position of the second limit member 134 at different heights, which is not limited in this application.

[0120] like Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 120 further includes a PUSH-PUSH lock body 124 mounted 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 inside 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, thus facilitating 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 Figure 15 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 17 and Figure 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, and 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, and the seat body 1311 is connected to the lifting unit 122; the circumference of the load-bearing sleeve 1314 is provided with a guide groove 1314a and a device The load-bearing portion 13141 is placed in the guide groove 1314a, and one end of the load-bearing member 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 member 1313 can slide along the guide groove 1314a to abut against the load-bearing portion 13141; in the folded state, the other end of the load-bearing member 1313 can slide along the guide groove 1314a to separate from the load-bearing portion 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 the folded state, the other end of the load-bearing member 1313 is located in the first groove section 1314b. When the cup holder assembly 132 is in the unfolded state, the other end of the load-bearing member 1313 abuts the bearing portion. When the cup holder assembly 132 moves from the folded state to the 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 into the second groove section 1314c, where it abuts the load-bearing portion 13141. When the cup holder assembly 132 moves from the unfolded state to the 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 separates from the load-bearing portion 13141 and enters the third groove section 1314d. Then, the cup holder assembly 132 is pressed down, and the load-bearing portion 13141 slides along the third groove section 1314d into 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, preventing the cup holder assembly 132 from rotating about 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 an 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 an embodiment where the lifting unit 122 includes a traveling gear 12222, the base 1311 is rotatably connected to the traveling gear 12222 of the lifting unit 122.

[0128] like Figure 19 As shown, in some embodiments, the support mechanism 130 further includes a third limiting member 135 mounted on the cup holder seat 131. Two limiting grooves 1321a are spaced apart from each other on one side of the cup holder assembly 132 that is rotatably connected to the cup holder seat 131. In the unfolded state, the third limiting member 135 is located in one of the limiting grooves 1321a. 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 spaced apart around the rotation axis of the cup holder assembly 132. The third limiting member 135 is mounted on the cup holder seat 131, and the cup holder assembly 132 is mounted on the seat body 1311. Because 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, thereby allowing the third limiting member 135 to be positioned within each of the two limiting grooves 1321a. Specifically, when the cup holder assembly 132 is in the expanded state, the third limiting member 135 is positioned within one of the limiting grooves 1321a, contacting the wall of the limiting groove 1321a. The third limiting member 135 limits the cup holder assembly 132, and under the action of the third limiting member 135, the cup holder assembly 132 cannot be further expanded. When the cup holder assembly 132 is in the folded state, the third limiting member 135 is located in another limiting groove 1321 a and contacts the groove wall of the limiting groove 1321 a. 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 rotating to the unfolded state, and assists the first limiting member 133 in limiting the cup holder assembly 132, helping to ensure that the cup holder assembly 132 remains in the unfolded state and prevents the cup holder assembly 132 from over-expanding. With this design, the cup holder assembly 132 cannot continue to rotate after rotating to the folded state, and assists the third limiting member 142 in limiting the cup holder assembly 132, helping to ensure that the cup holder assembly 132 remains in the folded state and prevents the cup holder assembly 132 from being excessively 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 defined 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 well known to those skilled in the art. When the cup holder assembly 132 is in the folded state or the unfolded state, the steel ball of the plunger is located in the limiting groove 1321a. When the cup holder assembly 132 is rotated, the steel ball of the plunger is located outside the limiting groove 1321a.

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

[0134] When the cup holder assembly 132 is folded, it is partially or entirely located within the sunken area 110b. This design reduces the space occupied by the cup holder assembly 132 in the storage slot 110a when folded, and reduces interference with other items in the storage slot 110a when not in use. This facilitates the storage slot 110a in storing items such as umbrellas, keys, mobile phones, and tissues. The shape and size of the sunken area 110b should match those of the cup holder assembly 132 to ensure that the cup holder assembly 132 can be located within the sunken area 110b.

[0135] like Figure 1 and Figure 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 , and 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 base 1221 and the cup holder 131 are connected via a travel gear 12222, which is rotatably connected to both the mounting base 1221 and the cup holder 131. A second avoidance hole 110d extending along the depth direction of the storage slot 110a and avoiding the travel gear 12222 should be provided on the side wall of the box body 110, so that at least a portion of the travel 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 110 d is opened behind the guide member 136 , and the guide member 136 covers the second avoidance hole 110 d , 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 cup needs to be placed on the cup holder assembly 132:

[0140] When the passenger presses the area where the second limiting member 134 is provided on the cup holder 1321, the second limiting member 134 is separated from the PUSH-PUSH lock body 124 due to the PUSH-PUSH structure, and the cup holder 1321 is unlocked from the mounting base 1221 of the lifting unit 122. The cup holder 1321 and the bottom support 1322 rotate upward around the mounting axis 1312 of the mounting base 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 arranged 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, causing the other end of the load-bearing member 1313 to separate from the load-bearing portion 13141 and enter the third groove section 1314d. The passenger then presses down on the cup holder assembly 132, causing the load-bearing portion 13141 to slide along the third groove section 1314d into the first groove section 1314b, allowing the cup holder assembly 132 to be folded, and the cup holder frame 1321 to rotate 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 axis 1312 of the mounting seat 1221, and the second limiting member 134 on the cup holder 1321 will also rotate downward around the mounting axis 1312. During the rotation of the cup holder 1321, the first limiting member 133 is compressed and 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 the other limiting groove 1321a of the cup holder 1321.

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

[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 separate from the lifting unit 122, and 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. Since the traveling gear 12222 is engaged 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. 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. 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, and 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. Then the hand pressing the cup holder assembly 132 is released, and the cup holder assembly 132 is locked at the specified height. In an embodiment where the limiting member 142 is provided with two or more locking positions 1221 a , 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 lower the cup holder assembly 132 .

[0148] The storage box 100 can be installed on the center console of the vehicle. Since the vehicle has the storage box 100 described above, it naturally has all the beneficial effects of the storage box 100 of the present application, which will not be described in detail here.
