Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a storage element, in particular a storage element for mobile terminals, such as smartphones or the like, and a storage compartment, such as is used or employed in motor vehicles. Background Art

[0002] This type of shelf is especially provided for accommodating or storing mobile terminal devices (such as smart phones) in motor vehicles. Some challenges arise here, because the heat development of the device should not be underestimated whether it is during charging or operation. For example, DE102018216281A1 discloses a component for a vehicle (especially a motorcycle), which has a vehicle component, a storage compartment fixed at the vehicle component, and a negative pressure source, wherein the storage compartment has a storage space for the mobile terminal device, an air supply portion entering the storage space, and an air discharge portion from the storage space, wherein the air discharge portion is fluidly connected to the negative pressure source. Air exchange or cooling can be achieved thereby. Especially in the case of a motorized bicycle (such as a motorcycle), an additional challenge is to provide a certain form of vibration decoupling by the shelf, because obvious vibrations occur during operation, and these vibrations should not be transmitted to the shelf as much as possible. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is therefore to specify a storage element, for example a storage element for a mobile terminal and a storage compartment, in which the best possible vibration decoupling is to be achieved while at the same time achieving the best possible cooling function.

[0004] This object is achieved by a storage element according to claim 1 and a storage compartment according to claim 10. Further advantages and features are apparent from the dependent claims as well as from the description and the drawings.

[0005] According to the present invention, a shelf, in particular a shelf for a mobile terminal device, such as a smart phone, comprises a base element and a support element, the support element is arranged spaced apart and movably relative to the base element, the support element is constructed or provided or has a layout surface, and the support element and the base element are connected by at least partially flexible wall elements so that a closed volume is formed between the support element and the base element, and the volume is designed to act as an air spring or air cushion. Optimized vibration decoupling can be advantageously achieved thereby. The stiffness of the air spring can be adjusted according to the air pressure adjusted in the volume.

[0006] According to one embodiment, the shelf comprises a cover element, wherein the cover element, which is designed, for example, to be movable, in particular to be pivotable, is designed to cover or cover the arrangement surface. Preferably, the cover element is designed to form an arrangement space together with the carrier element, into which the object to be transported, such as a smartphone, can be placed. According to one embodiment, the carrier element comprises at least one fixing means, by which the device to be transported, such as a smartphone, can be fixed to the carrier element in a loss-proof manner. For example, such a fixing means can be a Velcro fastener.

[0007] According to one embodiment, the base element and preferably also the carrier element are designed as a plate or as a plate-like element, on which the flexible wall element is arranged at the edge. The flexible wall element can be designed as such a wall element made of a flexible, movable or soft, especially elastically deformable material. Alternatively, only certain areas or sections can be designed to be soft, flexible, elastically deformable, etc. The flexibility of the wall element should be designed in particular so that the carrier element is movable relative to the base element. In particular, a wall element that is at least partially flexible can achieve a movable support of the carrier element relative to the base element.

[0008] According to one embodiment, the plate-shaped base element is connected to the plate-shaped supporting element at the edge side through a flexible wall element, thereby forming an air spring or air cushion. Alternatively, multiple air springs / air cushions can also be constructed between the base element and the supporting element.

[0009] According to one embodiment, the volume has at least one opening for air exchange with the environment. Air can be sucked in or discharged through the opening. Such an opening also acts as a throttle valve, so that a certain damping effect can be achieved during the springing.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment, the volume is designed to be flowable. This advantageously allows heat to be dissipated, i.e., in particular heat generated, for example, by a mobile terminal device (e.g., a smartphone) to be introduced into the volume. This flow-through can cause heat to be dissipated to the outside, thereby achieving optimal cooling of the device located on the shelf while simultaneously achieving the best possible vibration decoupling. At the same time, a spring effect, in particular a spring / damper effect, can advantageously be provided.

[0011] According to one embodiment, a plurality of first openings or at least one first opening are constructed in the base element, and a plurality of second openings or at least one second opening are constructed in the support element. Additionally or alternatively, at least one third opening is constructed in the wall element. Here, if there are a plurality of openings, the openings are appropriately evenly or unevenly distributed in the corresponding elements. According to one embodiment, only certain areas or sections of the corresponding elements are provided with openings. Alternatively, however, the base element and / or the support element and / or the wall element may also be completely or comprehensively provided with such openings. Typically, such openings are small or relatively small, for example having a diameter between 0.3 and 1.3 mm, wherein diameters of different sizes may also be combined.

[0012] According to one embodiment, the first opening or at least one first opening is configured as an air inlet opening, and the second opening or at least one second opening is configured as an air outlet opening. According to a preferred embodiment, no opening is configured in the wall element. In this embodiment, the shelf is suitably configured to be flowed through or can be flowed through from bottom to top, that is, from the base element toward the support element. Advantageously, ventilation can be combined with the decoupling or vibration decoupling of the support element. Preferably, a plurality of air inlet openings are provided in the base plate. If the air inlet opening is flowed through, the support element is lifted or raised because an air cushion is constructed in the volume. The air cushion advantageously acts as the air spring already mentioned. At the same time, air, especially heated air, can be discharged through the air outlet opening, suitably through the air outlet opening in the support element.

[0013] Preferably, openings are (also) formed in the support element in the region of the arrangement surface, i.e. in the region in which the device to be transported is arranged (cf. the above-mentioned second opening). These openings are not used for air outlet (because they are covered by the device / smartphone). The openings advantageously allow good conduction of heat from the device / smartphone into the volume. The heated air can then be discharged from there through at least one air outlet opening.

[0014] The at least one air inlet opening is expediently connected in a suitable manner to a channel or the like, through which the air flow can be directed to the at least one air inlet opening. Preferably, the channel is shaped such that all air inlet openings can be reached simultaneously. Thus, expediently not every air inlet opening has to be connected to a separate (air) channel, but this is also possible.

[0015] According to one embodiment, air-guiding elements such as chambers, wings or the like are arranged in the volume in order to achieve an optimized air distribution, air circulation (in the volume) or also air discharge in the direction of the air outlet opening.

[0016] According to one embodiment, additionally or alternatively at least one air inlet opening or at least one air outlet opening is also provided in the flexible wall element.

[0017] As already mentioned, the flexible wall element is expediently formed at least partially from a textile material and / or a rubber material. Thus, the flexibility can be adjusted by the material itself, but can also be adjusted additionally or alternatively by the geometric design. Thus, according to one embodiment, the wall element is constructed in the manner of a bellows.

[0018] According to one embodiment, the shelf comprises a device for generating an air flow, so that the volume can be actively flowed through or can be actively flowed through. For example, such a device can be a fan or the like, which is connected to at least one air inlet opening in an air-guiding manner. Alternatively, a device that is always present in a motor vehicle can also be used. For example, a device that is always present in a motor vehicle can refer to the intake area of ​​an internal combustion engine, in which both an overpressure and a negative pressure can be applied at least temporarily. The above-mentioned flow can also be caused by, that is, at least additionally working with a negative pressure.

[0019] According to one embodiment, the storage element comprises an air guide which is designed in particular to achieve a passive flow through the volume. In the case of a passive flow through, for example, the travel wind of the vehicle is used in order to achieve a flow through the volume.

[0020] According to one embodiment, the shelf element comprises a charging device, in particular an inductive charging device. According to one embodiment, the support element is equipped with a charging device, in particular an inductive charging device.

[0021] The invention also relates to a storage compartment, in particular a storage compartment for a motor vehicle, in particular a motor scooter, such as a kickboard, a motorcycle or a tilting vehicle in general, which should also include LNM vehicles (tilting multi-wheel vehicles). This storage compartment can also be called a glove box. The storage compartment can be constructed to be open or closed. According to a preferred embodiment, the storage compartment can achieve air exchange with the environment. In particular, the storage compartment includes the following space or area, in which the storage parts are arranged. The space or area is preferably constructed to be able to be flowed through.

[0022] Further advantages and features emerge from the following description of an embodiment of the storage element with reference to the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The accompanying drawings show:

[0024] Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing an embodiment of a storage element in a first state;

[0025] Figure 2 The second state is shown by Figure 1 Known shelf implementation method. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of a shelf is shown, which comprises a base element 10 and a carrier element 20 arranged above it. The carrier element 20 and the base element 10 are connected by a wall element 40 that is at least partially flexible. This is a sectional view, so that a plurality of openings 12 or 22 can be seen in both the carrier element 20 and the base element 10. The carrier element 20 comprises a layout surface 24, on which a mobile terminal device 60 (e.g., a smart phone) is currently arranged or resting. The first opening 12 constructed in the base element 10 is currently used as an air inlet opening, and the second opening 22 constructed in the carrier element 20 is used as an air outlet opening. However, the volume 30 constructed in the interior is not currently flowed through, which can also be seen at the bulging wall element 40.

[0027] Figure 2 Shown from Figure 1 , wherein the volume 30 is now flowed through. This is briefly drawn by an arrow, which is provided with reference numeral P. It is currently briefly drawn that air is introduced only through an air inlet opening 12. In the same way, air is discharged only through a second opening 22. In reality, preferably all first openings 12 are used for air introduction, and preferably all second openings 22 are used for air discharge. This is not suitable for such openings 22 covered by the device 60. Suitably, good heat dissipation in the volume 30 can be achieved through these openings. Air accumulates in the volume 30, so that an air spring can be constructed, because the second opening 22 also provides a throttling effect. Air guide elements or the like (not shown here) can also be arranged inside the volume 30. At present, a shelf with optimized vibration decoupling and a very good cooling function at the same time is provided.
