[0031] Example 1

[0032] This embodiment provides a vehicle-use sterilization storage component, which is a manually openable storage component. The storage device of this embodiment is a storage component on the passenger side, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a fixed plate 11 and a storage box 13. The outer side of the storage box 13 is provided with a storage box cover 12. The storage box 13 is a storage box on the co-pilot side of the car. The storage box 13 can be rotated to be opened and closed. In the closed state, the storage box cover 12 cooperates with the fixed plate 11 to achieve sealing. The fixed plate 11 is the instrument fixing plate of the car. The above structure can adopt the structure of the existing co-pilot side storage device in the car, and its further technical details are not described in detail here.

[0033] In this embodiment, an improvement is made on the basis of the existing storage device. A sterilization device is detachably fixed on the inner side of the fixed plate 11. When the storage box 13 is in a closed state, the sterilization device can sterilize the objects in the storage box 13.

[0034] In this embodiment, Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the sterilization device includes a housing 2, wherein the housing wall in the housing 2 that cooperates with the fixing plate 11 is defined as the bottom housing wall, the housing wall on the opposite side is defined as the top housing wall, and the remaining housing walls are defined as side housing walls. The size of the bottom housing wall is greater than that of the top housing wall.

[0035] Buckles 3 are provided on two oppositely disposed side shell walls. Buckles 3 are made of materials such as plastic that can be deformed and restored to their original shapes. Buckles 3 can be deformed under the action of external force and can return to their original shapes after the external force is removed.

[0036] The fixing plate 11 is provided with a card hole, which includes a first hole portion matching the top shell wall of the shell and second hole portions arranged on both sides of the first hole portion and corresponding to the card buckle. The shell 2 can pass through the fixing plate 11 through the first hole portion, so that the top shell wall and the side shell wall move to the inner side of the fixing plate 11, and the size of the bottom shell wall is larger than the size of the first hole portion, so that the bottom shell wall fits the outer side surface of the fixing plate 11. When the card buckle 3 passes through the second hole portion, it is squeezed and deformed under the action of the second hole portion, so that the card buckle 3 can pass through the fixing plate 11. After the card buckle 3 passes through the fixing plate 11, the card buckle 3 returns to its original state and contacts with the inner side surface of the fixing plate 11, and the bottom shell wall contacts with the outer side surface of the fixing plate 11, thereby jointly realizing the fixing of the shell 2 on the fixing plate 11.

[0037] Of the other two opposite side walls of the outer shell 2, one of the side walls facing the storage box 13 is made of a lens 10. A germicidal lamp 7 is arranged inside the outer shell 2 towards the storage box 13. The lamp tube rays generated by the germicidal lamp 7 can pass through the lens 10 to sterilize the items inside the storage box 13.

[0038] Preferably, the germicidal lamp 7 is an ultraviolet germicidal lamp, which is connected to a power supply circuit on a circuit board 8 fixed in the housing 2. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp is located on one side of the circuit board 8. The circuit board 8 is provided with a wiring terminal 9, and the wiring terminal 9 is used to connect to the entire vehicle wiring harness of the automobile. The power supply circuit of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp uses the 12V voltage of the entire vehicle wiring harness as the power supply end. After the current flows through the power supply circuit of the circuit board, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp is driven to emit a spectrum with a bactericidal effect and realize the sterilization function of the irradiated area. The light of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp passes through the lens and irradiates the sterilization area. The lens can scatter the spectrum and avoid accidental touch damage to the circuit board 8.

[0039] The power supply circuit is provided with an off position, and the off position uses a conductive component to control the switching of its on and off states.

[0040] Specifically, a contact button 5 is provided on the other side of the circuit board. The contact button 5 adopts a stepped shaft structure and is vertically arranged with the bottom shell wall. It includes a first button part and a second button part which are coaxially arranged. The diameter of the first button part is larger than the diameter of the second button part, wherein the first button part passes through the bottom shell wall through an opening on the bottom shell wall and is slidably connected with the bottom shell wall. The end of the first button part extending to the outside of the bottom shell wall can cooperate with the storage box cover 12. When the storage box cover 12 is in a closed state, it can contact the outer end of the first button part.

[0041] An elastic member is also provided between the contact button 5 and the shell. The elastic member is a spring 4, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second button part. One end of the spring 4 is connected to the step surface formed between the first button part and the second button part, and the other end is connected to the inner side surface of the top shell wall.

[0042] A conductive component 14 is provided at the junction of the first button portion and the second button portion. The conductive component 14 includes an insulating portion and a conductive portion. The insulating portion is fixedly connected to the contact button 5, and the conductive portion is used to cooperate with the two ports at the disconnection position of the power supply circuit to realize the switching of the on and off states of the power supply circuit.

[0043] Furthermore, limit seats 6 are provided on both sides of the contact button 5, which are fixedly connected to the bottom shell wall and are used to cooperate with the insulating part. Under the action of the spring 4, the contact button 5 extends outward. When the insulating part contacts the limit seat 6, it will no longer extend, thereby limiting the extension movement of the contact button 5 outward.

[0044] Furthermore, a wire harness clamping mechanism 1 is provided on the outer surface of the top shell wall for branching the wiring harness of the entire vehicle. The wire harness clamping mechanism 1 can adopt the existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0045] The sterilization storage device of this embodiment only needs to set corresponding card holes on the fixing plate 11. The shell of the sterilization device can be fixed to the inner side of the fixing plate through the card holes and the buckles. The remaining structures of the storage device do not need to be improved. The sterilization device is easy to install and can be easily installed on the basis of the existing automobile storage device.

[0046] It is understandable that the storage device may also be a central armrest box or a map pocket, etc., and those skilled in the art may configure it according to actual needs.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] This embodiment provides a working method of the vehicle sterilization storage device described in Embodiment 1:

[0049] The storage box 13 rotates to a closed state, and the storage box cover 12 contacts the outer end of the contact button 5. During the rotation of the storage box cover 12, the contact button 5 is driven to move, and the spring 4 is compressed. The storage box 13 rotates to a fully closed state, and the contact button 5 drives the conductive part of the conductive component 14 to connect with the two connectors at the disconnected position of the power supply circuit, turning on the power supply circuit, and the ultraviolet sterilization lamp works to sterilize the items in the storage box.

[0050] When the storage box 13 is rotated to open, the storage box cover 12 is separated from the contact button 5. Under the action of the spring 4, the contact button 5 extends outward, the conductive part of the conductive component 14 is separated from the power supply circuit, the power supply circuit is disconnected, and the ultraviolet sterilization lamp stops working, avoiding light pollution to the passengers in the car.

[0051] In the sterilization storage device of this embodiment, when the storage box 13 is opened, the sterilization lamp stops working, thereby avoiding the health damage of the passengers caused by the sterilization lamp when the passengers accidentally open the storage box during the sterilization process. When the storage box 13 is opened, the sterilization lamp can be automatically turned off through the purely mechanical structure composed of the contact button 5 and the spring 4, which is suitable for the sterilization use of the manually opened and closed storage mechanism.

The size of the bottom housing wall is greater than that of the top housing wall.

[0054] Buckles 3 are provided on two oppositely disposed side shell walls. Buckles 3 are made of materials such as plastic that can be deformed and restored to their original shapes. Buckles 3 can be deformed under the action of external force and can return to their original shapes after the external force is removed.

[0055] Of the other two opposite side walls of the shell 2, one of the side walls facing the area to be sterilized is made of a lens 10. A sterilization lamp 7 is arranged inside the shell 2 and is arranged in the direction of the area to be sterilized. The lamp tube rays generated by the sterilization lamp 7 can pass through the lens to sterilize the items inside the sterilization area.

[0056] Preferably, the germicidal lamp 7 is an ultraviolet germicidal lamp, which is connected to a power supply circuit on a circuit board 8 fixed in the housing 2. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp is located on one side of the circuit board 8. The circuit board 8 is provided with a wiring terminal 9, and the wiring terminal 9 is used to connect to the entire vehicle wiring harness of the automobile. The power supply circuit of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp uses the 12V voltage of the entire vehicle wiring harness as the power supply end. After the current flows through the power supply circuit of the circuit board 8, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp is driven to emit a spectrum with a bactericidal effect and realize the sterilization function of the irradiated area. The light of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp passes through the lens 10 and irradiates the sterilization area. The lens can scatter the spectrum and avoid accidental touch damage to the circuit board.

[0057] The power supply circuit is provided with an off position, and the off position uses a conductive component 14 to control the switching of the on and off states.

[0058] Specifically, a contact button 5 is provided on the other side of the circuit board 8. The contact button 5 adopts a stepped shaft structure and is vertically arranged with the bottom shell wall. It includes a first button portion and a second button portion which are coaxially arranged. The diameter of the first button portion is larger than the diameter of the second button portion, wherein the first button portion passes through the bottom shell wall through an opening on the bottom shell wall and is slidably connected with the bottom shell wall, and the end of the first button portion extending to the outside of the bottom shell wall is used to cooperate with a rotating part of the storage device to be sterilized in the automobile.

[0059] An elastic member is also provided between the contact button 5 and the housing 2. The elastic member is a spring 4, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second button part. One end of the spring 4 is connected to the step surface formed between the first button part and the second button part, and the other end is connected to the inner side surface of the top shell wall.

[0060] A conductive component 14 is provided at the junction of the first button portion and the second button portion. The conductive component 14 includes an insulating portion and a conductive portion. The insulating portion is fixedly connected to the contact button, and the conductive portion is used to cooperate with two ports at the disconnection position of the power supply circuit to achieve switching between the on and off states of the power supply circuit.

[0061] Furthermore, limit seats 6 are provided on both sides of the contact button, which are fixedly connected to the bottom shell wall and are used to cooperate with the insulating part. Under the action of the spring, the contact button 5 extends outward. When the insulating part contacts the limit seat 6, it will no longer extend, thereby limiting the extension movement of the contact button 5 outward.

[0062] Furthermore, a wire harness clamping mechanism 1 is provided on the outer surface of the top shell wall for branching the wiring harness of the entire vehicle.
