[0049] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the locking mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a locking tongue assembly 10 and a locking hole assembly 20, wherein the locking tongue assembly 10 includes a mounting seat 1, a locking tongue 2 and an elastic member 3, wherein the locking tongue assembly 10 includes a mounting seat 1, a locking tongue 2 and an elastic member 3, wherein the locking tongue 2 is movably connected to the mounting seat 1 so that the locking tongue 2 moves between a locked position and an unlocked position. The elastic member 3 is connected to the mounting seat 1 and the locking tongue 2 to provide an elastic force to the locking tongue 2 toward the unlocked position. The locking hole assembly 20 includes a locking seat 6, and the locking seat 6 has a locking hole 62.

[0051] The lock tongue 2 includes a first magnetic member 21, and the locking seat 6 includes a second magnetic member 61 capable of adsorbing the first magnetic member 21 to provide a magnetic attraction force to the lock tongue 2 toward the locking position. The mounting seat 1 is movably connected to the locking seat 6 so that the locking mechanism 100 switches between the first state and the second state. In the locking position, the elastic force is less than the magnetic attraction force, the lock tongue 2 protrudes from the surface 101 of the mounting seat 1 and locks with the lock hole 62; in the unlocking position, the elastic force is greater than the magnetic attraction force, the lock tongue 2 leaves the lock hole 62 and retracts into the interior of the mounting seat 1.

[0052] When the elastic force is greater than the magnetic attraction force, the elastic force may be equal to zero or greater than zero.

[0053] In the locking mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, when the lock tongue 2 is in the locked position, the magnetic attraction force provided by the second magnetic member 61 to the lock tongue 2 in the locked position is greater than the elastic force provided by the elastic member 3 to the lock tongue 2 in the unlocked position. At this time, the lock tongue 2 overcomes the elastic force under the action of the magnetic attraction force and remains in the locked position, so that the lock tongue 2 protrudes from the surface 101 of the mounting seat 1 and locks with the lock hole 62. When the lock tongue 2 is in the unlocked position, the magnetic attraction force provided by the second magnetic member 61 to the lock tongue 2 in the locked position is less than the elastic force provided by the elastic member 3 to the lock tongue 2 in the unlocked position. At this time, the lock tongue 2 overcomes the magnetic force under the action of the elastic force and remains in the unlocked position, so that the lock tongue 2 leaves the lock hole 62 and is retracted into the interior of the mounting seat 1, thereby preventing the lock tongue 2 in the unlocked position from being exposed to the outside. Therefore, when the lock tongue 2 is switched from the unlocked position to the locked position, it can be prevented from touching the locking seat 6, thereby preventing the lock tongue 2 from making an abnormal sound when the locking mechanism 100 is locked.

[0054] In addition, the lock tongue 2 utilizes the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic part 21 and the second magnetic part 61 to switch from the unlocking position to the locking position. Compared with the related art in which the lock tongue utilizes the spring force to switch from the unlocking position to the locking position, the locking mechanism 100 can avoid generating a spring rebound sound during the process of switching from the unlocking position to the locking position.

[0055] Optionally, the first magnetic member 21 is a magnetic conductive member, and the second magnetic member 61 is a magnetic member.

[0056] For example, the first magnetic member 21 is an iron block or an iron sheet, and the second magnetic member 61 is a permanent magnet block or a permanent magnet sheet.

[0057] It is understandable that the lock tongue 2 will move to different positions with the mounting base 1, while the locking base 6 provided with the lock hole 62 usually does not need to move, which makes it easier for the lock tongue 2 to approach other objects when it is in the unlocked position. By making the first magnetic piece 21 a magnetic conductive piece, the lock tongue 2 will not attract other magnetic conductive objects close to it even in the unlocked position, thereby affecting the locking cooperation between the lock tongue 2 and the lock hole 62.

[0058] This is beneficial for improving the reliability of the locking mechanism 100 .

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lock tongue 2 includes a lock rod 22 , which is movably connected to the mounting base 1 , and the first magnetic member 21 is connected to the lock rod 22 .

[0060] Therefore, the lock rod 22 can be made of non-magnetic and non-magnetic materials, and only relies on the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 21 and the second magnetic member 61, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the lock tongue 2, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the locking mechanism 100.

[0061] In order to make the technical solution of the present application easier to understand, the following takes the moving direction of the lock tongue 2 being consistent with the left-right direction as an example to further describe the technical solution of the present application. Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown.

[0062] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking rod 22 extends in the left-right direction, and the first magnetic member 21 is connected to one end of the locking rod 22 in the left-right direction.

[0063] Optionally, the first magnetic member 21 is embedded in the locking rod 22 .

[0064] For example, the locking rod 22 is a plastic component, and the first magnetic component 21 is injection molded into the locking rod 22 , so that the first magnetic component 21 is embedded in the locking rod 22 .

[0065] By embedding the first magnetic member 21 in the locking rod 22 , the connection area between the first magnetic member 21 and the locking rod 22 is increased, thereby improving the connection reliability between the first magnetic member 21 and the locking rod 22 and improving the reliability of the locking mechanism 100 .

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, the first magnetic member 21 may also be bonded and fixed to the surface of the locking rod 22 .

[0067] Alternatively, if Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking rod 22 includes a connecting section 221 and a locking section 222 which are sequentially arranged, and the connecting section 221 is arranged inside the mounting seat 1. In the locked position, the locking section 222 of the locking tongue 2 protrudes from the surface 101 of the mounting seat 1 and is locked with the locking hole 62, and the first magnetic member 21 is arranged at one end of the locking section 222 away from the connecting section 221.

[0068] By arranging the first magnetic member 21 at the end of the locking section 222 away from the connecting section 221, the first magnetic member 21 is arranged closer to the second magnetic member 61, so that the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 21 and the second magnetic member 61 is larger. Therefore, when the volume of the first magnetic member 21 and the second magnetic member 61 is small, the first magnetic member 21 and the second magnetic member 61 can be used to provide a larger magnetic attraction to the lock tongue 2, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the locking mechanism 100 and reducing the cost and weight of the locking mechanism 100.

[0069] Alternatively, if Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting seat 1 is provided with a plurality of guide portions 11 arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the locking tongue 2 , and the connecting section 221 is movably guided and matched with the guide portions 11 .

[0070] For example, the mounting seat 1 is provided with a plurality of guide portions 11 spaced apart along the left-right direction, and the connecting section 221 is movably guided and matched with the guide portions 11 along the left-right direction.

[0071] Therefore, during the movement of the lock tongue 2, the connecting section 221 can be used to cooperate with the guide portion 11 to guide the movement of the lock tongue 2 and avoid the lock tongue 2 from deflecting, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the locking mechanism 100.

[0072] Alternatively, if Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of guide sleeves are provided on the mounting seat 1 . The guide sleeves are sleeved on the outside of the connecting section 221 . The inner holes of the guide sleeves are matched with the outer peripheral surface of the connecting section 221 , and the guide sleeves form the guide portion 11 .

[0073] Optionally, the mounting base 1 has a first limiting portion 12, the connecting section 221 has a first stop portion 2211, and the lock hole 62 is a blind hole, and the hole of the blind hole is for the lock tongue 2 to pass through. In the locked position, the first stop portion 2211 stops at the first limiting portion 12, and there is a gap between the lock tongue 2 and the bottom of the lock hole 62.

[0074] By providing the first limiting portion 12 on the mounting seat 1 and the first stopping portion 2211 on the connecting section 221, when the lock tongue 2 moves to the locking position, the first stopping portion 2211 stops against the first limiting portion 12 to limit the position of the lock tongue 2, so that there is a gap between the lock tongue 2 and the bottom of the lock hole 62. Therefore, when the lock tongue 2 moves from the unlocking position to the locking position, it will not contact the bottom of the lock hole 62, which can avoid the lock tongue 2 from generating noise of hitting the locking seat 6, which is conducive to reducing the noise of the locking mechanism 100.

[0075] Optionally, the first stop portion 2211 is a stop protrusion, and the first limiting portion 12 is a limiting protrusion.

[0076] Alternatively, if Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting seat 1 has a second limiting portion 13, and the connecting section 221 has a second stop portion 2212. In the unlocking position, the second stop portion 2212 stops at the second limiting portion 13, and the locking tongue 2 is flush with the surface 101 of the mounting seat 1.

[0077] By providing the second limiting portion 13 on the mounting seat 1 and the second stopping portion 2212 on the connecting section 221, when the lock tongue 2 moves to the unlocking position, the second stopping portion 2212 is used to stop against the second limiting portion 13 to limit the position of the lock tongue 2, so that the lock tongue 2 is flush with the surface 101 of the mounting seat 1. Therefore, in the process of the lock tongue 2 moving from the locking position to the unlocking position, the overall moving distance of the lock tongue 2 can be shorter, which is conducive to reducing the overall volume of the locking mechanism 100 and reducing the cost and weight of the locking mechanism 100.

[0078] Optionally, the second stop portion 2212 is a stop protrusion, and the second limiting portion 13 is a limiting rib.

[0079] Alternatively, if Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the elastic member 3 is a tension spring, and two ends of the elastic member 3 are connected to the mounting seat 1 and the locking tongue 2 respectively.

[0080] The elastic member 3 is configured as a tension spring, which has a simple structure and is convenient for fixing and installing.

[0081] Alternatively, if Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting seat 1 is provided with a first connecting portion 14 , the connecting section 221 is provided with a second connecting portion 223 , and both ends of the elastic member 3 are respectively connected to the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 223 .

[0082] For example, hooks are respectively provided at both ends of the elastic member 3 , and hanging holes are provided on the first connection portion 14 and the second connection portion 223 , and the hooks are connected with the hanging holes by hooking.

[0083] Alternatively, if Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, there are two lock tongues 2 and two lock holes 62, and the two lock holes 62 are arranged on opposite sides of the mounting seat 1. In the locked position, the two lock tongues 2 are respectively protruded from the two opposite surfaces 101 of the mounting seat 1. The lock tongue assembly 10 also includes a linkage member 4, which is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 1, and the two lock tongues 2 are both connected to the linkage member 4, and the linkage member 4 drives the two lock tongues 2 to move between the locked position and the unlocked position at the same time.

[0084] For example, Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, two locking tongues 2 are arranged in the left-right direction, and one of the locking tongues 2 is arranged on the left side of the other locking tongue 2, and two locking holes 62 are arranged on the left and right sides of the mounting base 1. The locking tongue 2 arranged on the left side is used for locking with the locking hole 62 arranged on the left side, and the locking tongue 2 arranged on the right side is used for locking with the locking hole 62 arranged on the right side.

[0085] By arranging the linkage member 4 between the two locking tongues 2, it can be effectively ensured that the two locking tongues 2 move between the locking position and the unlocking position, so that the two locking tongues 2 are locked with the corresponding locking holes 62 and leave the corresponding locking holes 62 at the same time. This is conducive to improving the state switching efficiency of the locking mechanism 100 and improving the user experience.

[0086] Optionally, the linkage member 4 has a first protrusion and a second protrusion, and the connecting section 221 of each lock tongue 2 is provided with a guide groove 2213, the first protrusion is arranged in the guide groove 2213 of one of the lock tongues 2, and is movable along the extension direction of the guide groove 2213; the second protrusion is arranged in the guide groove 2213 of the other lock tongue 2, and is movable along the extension direction of the guide groove 2213.

[0087] Therefore, during the rotation of the linkage member 4 , the first protrusion and the second protrusion move along the corresponding guide groove 2213 respectively, and drive the two locking tongues 2 to move relative to the mounting seat 1 .

[0088] Alternatively, if Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the linkage member 4 is connected to the mounting seat 1 via screws 5 .

[0089] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking seat 6 includes a locking sleeve 63, and the second magnetic member 61 is connected to the locking sleeve 63. The locking sleeve 63 and the second magnetic member 61 surround a locking hole 62, or the locking sleeve 63 surrounds the locking hole 62.

[0090] Among them, when the second magnetic piece 61 protrudes from the inner surface of the locking sleeve 63, that is, a part of the second magnetic piece 61 or the whole is located inside the inner hole of the locking sleeve 63, the locking sleeve 63 and the second magnetic piece 61 form a locking hole 62; when the second magnetic piece 61 is located as a whole on the outside of the inner surface of the locking sleeve 63, that is, the second magnetic piece 61 is located as a whole on the outside of the inner hole of the locking sleeve 63, the locking sleeve 63 forms a locking hole 62.

[0091] Therefore, the locking sleeve 63 can be made of non-magnetic and non-magnetic materials, and only relies on the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 21 and the second magnetic member 61, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the locking sleeve 63, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the locking mechanism 100.

[0092] Optionally, the second magnetic member 61 is embedded in the locking sleeve 63 .

[0093] For example, the locking sleeve 63 is a plastic component, and the second magnetic component 61 is injection-molded into the locking sleeve 63 , so that the second magnetic component 61 is embedded in the locking sleeve 63 .

[0094] By embedding the second magnetic member 61 in the locking sleeve 63 , the connection area between the second magnetic member 61 and the locking sleeve 63 is increased, thereby improving the connection reliability between the second magnetic member 61 and the locking sleeve 63 and improving the reliability of the locking mechanism 100 .

[0095] Of course, in other embodiments, the second magnetic member 61 may also be bonded and fixed to the surface of the locking sleeve 63 .

[0096] Alternatively, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lock hole 62 is a blind hole, the hole opening of the blind hole is for the lock tongue 2 to pass through, and the second magnetic member 61 is arranged at the bottom of the blind hole.

[0097] As a result, the magnetic attraction force generated between the first magnetic member 21 and the second magnetic member 61 extends parallel to the extension direction of the lock hole 62, thereby preventing the lock tongue 2 from contacting the side wall of the lock hole 62 during the process of inserting the lock tongue 2 into the lock hole 62, and preventing the lock tongue 2 from generating noise due to hitting the locking seat 6, which is beneficial to further reduce the noise of the locking mechanism 100.

[0098] Alternatively, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking seat 6 further includes a seat body 64 , and the edge of the locking sleeve 63 is provided with a flange 631 , and the flange 631 is connected to the seat body 64 .

[0099] It is understandable that, since the locking sleeve 63 is provided with a locking hole 62 for cooperating with the locking tongue 2, the machining accuracy of the locking sleeve 63 is required to be relatively high. By setting the locking seat 6 to also include the seat body 64, and the locking sleeve 63 is connected to the seat body 64, while ensuring the overall strength of the locking seat 6, the overall volume of the locking sleeve 63 can be reduced, thereby reducing the machining difficulty of the locking seat 6, which is conducive to further reducing the cost of the locking mechanism 100. In addition, by providing a flange 631 on the edge of the locking sleeve 63 and connecting it to the seat body 64 by means of the flange 631, it is conducive to increasing the connection area between the locking sleeve 63 and the seat body 64, and increasing the connection reliability between the locking sleeve 63 and the seat body 64.

[0106] Since the lock tongue 2 does not make an abnormal knocking sound when the locking mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is locked, the lock tongue 2 of the glove box 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention does not make an abnormal knocking sound when the glove box 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention is closed.

[0107] Optionally, the glove box 30 includes a glove box door 301 and a box 302, the connecting section 221 of the lock tongue 2 is arranged in the glove box door 301, and the locking section 222 of the lock tongue 2 is arranged on the box 302. In the closed state, the lock tongue 2 protrudes from the surface 101 of the box 302 so that the lock tongue 2 is locked with the lock hole 62; in the open state, the lock tongue 2 is retracted into the box 302 under the elastic force of the elastic member 3.

[0108] The glove box 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention uses the elastic member 3 to apply elastic force to the lock tongue 2 toward the inside of the glove box body 30, so that when the glove box body 30 is opened, the lock tongue 2 is hidden in the glove box body 30 and does not protrude from the surface 101 of the glove box body 30, thereby improving the perceived quality of the interior. A first magnetic member 21 is provided on the lock tongue 2 to play a role in the magnetic attraction movement of the lock tongue 2, and a second magnetic member 61 is provided on the locking seat 6. When the lock tongue 2 moves to the position of the locking seat 6, the lock tongue 2 is sucked out under the magnetic force of the second magnetic member 61 and the first magnetic member 21. During the closing process of the glove box 1000, the lock tongue 2 has only a single stroke of extending out, and there is no impact or rebound sound between the lock tongue and the locking seat 6, which is different from the double stroke of retracting and returning of the traditional lock tongue, thereby improving the quiet and comfortable quality of the use of the interior functional parts.

[0109] In some embodiments, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the glove box body 30 includes a glove box door 301 and a box body 302, the box body 302 includes a glove box plate 3021, and the glove box door 301 is connected to the glove box plate 3021.

[0113] By providing a positioning protrusion 912 on the frame 911 and a surface positioning hole on the fixing portion 922 of the surface layer 92, when connecting the surface layer 92 and the frame 911, the positioning protrusion 912 can be first inserted into the surface positioning hole to achieve pre-positioning of at least a portion between the surface layer 92 and the frame 911, thereby facilitating flattening the covering portion 921, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the surface layer 92 and the frame 911, thereby facilitating improving the manufacturing efficiency of the glove box door 301.

[0114] Optionally, the number of the positioning protrusions 912 and the surface positioning holes are both multiple, the multiple positioning protrusions 912 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the frame 911, and the multiple surface positioning holes are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the covering portion 921. The multiple surface positioning holes correspond to the multiple positioning protrusions 912 one by one, and each positioning protrusion 912 is inserted into the corresponding surface positioning hole and is positioned and matched with the corresponding surface positioning hole.

[0115] When connecting the surface layer 92 and the frame 911, each positioning protrusion 912 is first inserted into the corresponding surface positioning hole to achieve pre-positioning between the surface layer 92 and the frame 911 and keep the covering part 921 in a flattened state; then the surface layer 92 and the frame 911 are connected.

[0116] Optionally, a latch is fixed on the frame 911 , and the latch forms a positioning protrusion 912 .

[0117] Alternatively, if Fig.13 As shown, the positioning protrusion 912 includes a first positioning section 9121 and a second positioning section 9122. The first positioning section 9121 is arranged closer to the covering portion 921 than the second positioning section 9122 in the thickness direction of the frame 911. The first positioning section 9121 is inserted into the corresponding surface positioning hole and is positioned and matched with the surface positioning hole, and the second positioning section 9122 is arranged outside the surface positioning hole. The glove box plate 3201 is provided with a box door positioning hole 3022, and the second positioning section 9122 is inserted into the box door positioning hole 3022 and is positioned and matched with the box door positioning hole 3022.

[0118] When connecting the surface layer 92 and the frame 911, in addition to using the first positioning segment 9121 and the surface positioning hole to achieve pre-positioning between the surface layer 92 and the frame 911, the second positioning segment 9122 can also be used to be inserted into the box door positioning hole 3022 to achieve pre-positioning between the glove box door 301 and the box body 302, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the glove box door 301 and the box body 302.
