Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive spare parts transportation technology, and more specifically, to a shockproof and recyclable material box for transporting automotive spare parts. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive logistics sector, the transportation of auto spare parts is one of the main business segments. Auto spare parts (such as headlights, glass, and electronic components) are considered consumables, while bumpers and exhaust pipes are irregularly shaped parts that are difficult to package. These spare parts are easily damaged during transportation due to bumps and collisions. The traditional method is to fill them with foam or bubble wrap within commercial packaging, but this method has three major problems:

[0003] 1. Shape mismatch: The foam needs to be pre-cut and cannot be adapted to parts of different sizes;

[0004] 2. Not securely fixed: When encountering bumps, the parts will shake, causing scratches or breakage;

[0005] 3. High packaging costs: Each packaging requires cardboard boxes and fillers, which is not environmentally friendly and has high costs.

[0006] Furthermore, protective methods using foam or bubble wrap are poorly adaptable, unable to dynamically adjust the cushioning strength according to road conditions, have low space utilization, and their fixed structure limits the flexibility of accessory loading; moreover, they lack real-time monitoring and cannot provide early warning of abnormal vibrations or excessive impacts. Public patent CN20221012345.6 proposes a shock-absorbing recyclable material box based on airbags, but its control logic is simplistic, fails to differentiate between vibration types, and does not address the high-frequency resonance problem.

[0007] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The main objective of this invention is to provide a shockproof and recyclable material box for transporting automotive spare parts, in order to solve the problem that the shockproof and recyclable material boxes in the prior art have poor impact resistance, which leads to damage to automotive spare parts.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a shockproof and recyclable material box for transporting automotive spare parts and its intelligent control method are provided, comprising: an airbag mesh structure, the airbag mesh structure being composed of multiple airbag units, the multiple airbag units being arranged in a honeycomb pattern along the side wall of the material box, each airbag unit being independently arranged, wherein the airbag unit is used to wrap the automotive spare parts stored in the material box; an air pump module, the air pump module being connected to each airbag unit, the air pump module being used to provide filling and deflation gas to the airbag units; a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor being disposed on the inner wall of each airbag unit, the pressure sensor being connected to the airbag unit; and a control module, the control module having a vibration sensor disposed inside, the control module being electrically connected to the pressure sensor and the air pump module, wherein the vibration sensor is used to detect the vibration frequency, amplitude, and direction of the material box during transportation.

[0010] Furthermore, the airbag mesh structure is formed by multiple airbag units surrounding a honeycomb structure, and the airbag unit has an internal airbag space filled with inert gas.

[0011] Furthermore, the control module also includes a control unit, which is located inside the control module and is spaced apart from the vibration sensor 301.

[0012] Furthermore, the airbag unit is equipped with an airway interface, through which the airbag unit is connected to the air pump module.

[0013] Furthermore, the control unit is electrically connected to the pressure sensor, vibration sensor, and air pump module. The control unit is used to receive signal data from the vibration sensor and pressure sensor, thereby controlling the air pump module to perform inflation, so that the airbag unit is in the inflation state of a fixed automotive spare part, and to control the inflation or deflation of the air pump module, so that the airbag unit can ensure the smooth transportation of spare parts when the vehicle encounters bumpy roads, emergency braking, or other special situations.

[0014] Furthermore, when the airbag unit is inflated, it adheres to the surface of the vehicle component. At this time, the airbag unit's expansion volume is 0.5L to 1.5L, and its maximum pressure resistance is 60kpa to 100kpa.

[0015] Furthermore, the airbag unit is made of a multi-layer composite material, including an outer wear-resistant layer, a middle tear-resistant layer, and an inner buffer layer, with gas filling the space between adjacent layers of the airbag unit.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer wear-resistant layer is made of polyurethane material with a thickness ranging from 0.5 mm to 2 mm.

[0017] Furthermore, the intermediate tear-resistant layer is made of aramid fiber material and has a woven structure with a thickness ranging from 1 mm to 3 mm.

[0018] Furthermore, the inner buffer layer is made of closed-cell foamed silicone material with a thickness ranging from 1mm to 3mm.

[0019] By employing the technical solution of this invention, independent airbag units arranged in a honeycomb pattern are used, each airbag unit being independently sealed. This allows for adaptive local inflation based on the shape and position of the spare parts within the bin, achieving a tight, "zero-gap" filling between spare parts. This significantly enhances the fixing effect and reduces the risk of damage caused by shaking. The control module's control unit receives data from vibration and pressure sensors to dynamically adjust the air pressure, ensuring a direct connection between the air pump module and each airbag unit under different transportation conditions. This enables rapid inflation and deflation, meeting dynamic needs during transportation and improving transportation safety. This application solves the problem of poor impact resistance in existing shockproof recyclable bins, which leads to damage to automotive spare parts. Attached Figure Description

[0046] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the specific embodiment of this application, a shockproof and recyclable material box for transporting automotive spare parts is provided.

[0047] Specifically, the shockproof and recyclable material box includes: an airbag mesh structure 400, an air pump module 4025, a pressure sensor 4026, and a control module 300. The airbag mesh structure 400 consists of multiple airbag units 401 arranged in a honeycomb pattern along the side wall of the material box 1. Each airbag unit 401 is independently configured, and is used to wrap the automotive spare parts stored in the material box 1. The air pump module 4025 is connected to each airbag unit 401 and is used to provide filling and deflation gas to the airbag units 401. The pressure sensor 4026 is disposed on the inner wall of each airbag unit 401 and is connected to the airbag unit 401. The control module 300 contains a vibration sensor 301 and is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 4026 and the air pump module 4025. The vibration sensor 301 is used to detect the vibration frequency, amplitude, and direction of the material box 1 during transportation.

[0048] By employing the technical solution of this invention, independent airbag units 401 arranged in a honeycomb pattern are used, each airbag unit 401 being independently sealed. This allows for adaptive local inflation based on the shape and position of the spare parts within the material box 1, achieving a tight, "zero-gap" filling between the spare parts. This significantly enhances the fixing effect and reduces the risk of damage caused by shaking. The control module 300 receives data from the vibration sensor 301 and the pressure sensor 4026 to dynamically adjust the air pressure, ensuring a direct connection between the air pump module 4025 and each airbag unit 401 under different transportation conditions. This enables rapid inflation and deflation, meeting dynamic needs during transportation and improving transportation safety. This application solves the problem of poor impact resistance in existing shockproof recyclable material boxes, which leads to damage to automotive spare parts.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the airbag units 401 are arranged in a honeycomb pattern along the side wall of the hopper 1, which ensures that the gaps between the airbag units 401 are minimized, thereby achieving the maximum coverage area and filling efficiency within a limited space. This means that the airbag mesh structure can more tightly wrap the automotive spare parts 200, reducing space waste and increasing the loading capacity of the hopper. The honeycomb structure has extremely high structural stability; even if some airbag units 401 are damaged or deflated, the remaining airbag units 401 can still maintain the integrity of the structure and continue to provide shock absorption. In addition, the honeycomb arrangement of the airbag units 401 can disperse the impact force, reduce the stress borne by individual airbag units 401, thereby extending the service life of the entire airbag mesh structure. Each airbag unit 401 works independently, which means that the device can adaptively perform local inflation according to the shape and size of the spare parts without uniformly adjusting the air pressure of the entire hopper 1. This design can adapt to spare parts of various shapes and sizes, providing customized shock absorption protection.

[0050] Optionally, the airbag mesh structure 400 is formed by multiple airbag units 401 arranged to form a honeycomb structure. Each airbag unit 401 has an internal airbag space 4024 filled with inert gas. By filling the internal airbag space 4024 with inert gas, it is possible to ensure that the spare parts are fully wrapped, reducing shaking and collisions during transportation, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shockproof recyclable hopper also includes a control unit 302, which is located inside the control module 300. The control unit is spaced apart from the vibration sensor 301. It integrates a microprocessor and a fuzzy PID control algorithm to receive sensor data and generate pressure regulation commands. In this embodiment, the vibration sensor 301 is electrically connected to the control unit 302. The placement of the vibration sensor 301 allows for comprehensive monitoring of the hopper 1's vibration in three dimensions (vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal). This provides the control module 300 with more comprehensive vehicle status information, ensuring accurate response to vibrations in different directions. By continuously monitoring vibrations, the shockproof recyclable hopper can determine the vehicle's road conditions in real time, such as smooth roads, potholes, and sudden braking, and then dynamically adjust the air pressure of the airbag unit 401 to provide shockproof protection adapted to the current road conditions. It maintains lower air pressure on flat roads to save energy; and rapidly increases air pressure on bumpy roads or during sudden braking to enhance support and protect spare parts.

[0052] The principle of vibration sensors is to detect the frequency and amplitude of vehicle vibration during transportation, providing real-time road condition information to the control module, so that the inflation and deflation actions of the air pump module can be intelligently adjusted according to the actual vibration conditions.

[0053] In this embodiment, the vibration sensor uses a triaxial accelerometer (sensitivity ±5g), which can measure acceleration changes in the x, y, and z directions, making it ideal for monitoring multi-dimensional vibrations. Other vibratory sensors that can be selected include MEMS accelerometers, vibration switch sensors, and fiber optic vibration sensors.

[0054] In another specific embodiment, the shockproof recyclable bin may also include a wireless communication module and a remote monitoring platform. The vibration sensor is electrically connected to the wireless communication module and the remote monitoring platform. The real-time data of the vibration sensor can not only be used for instant air pressure adjustment, but also be uploaded to the remote monitoring platform through the wireless communication module to realize early warning of abnormal vibration or excessive impact, and take measures in advance to reduce transportation risks.

[0055] Optionally, the airbag unit 401 is provided with an airway interface, through which the airbag unit 401 is connected to the air pump module 4025. The airway interface is designed to allow gas flow between the airbag unit 401 and the air pump module 4025, enabling the air pump module 4025 to quickly inflate or deflate according to the instructions of the control module 300, ensuring rapid provision of protection or release of spare parts in emergency situations.

[0056] Specifically, the control unit is electrically connected to the pressure sensor, vibration sensor, and air pump module. The control unit 302 is used to receive signal data from the vibration sensor 301 and the pressure sensor 4026, thereby controlling the air pump module 4025 to perform an inflation action, so that the airbag unit 401 is in an inflated state as a fixed automotive spare part, and controlling the air pump module 4025 to perform an inflation or deflation action, so that the airbag unit 401 can ensure the smooth transportation of spare parts when the vehicle encounters bumpy roads, emergency braking, or other special situations.

[0057] In one specific embodiment, the vibration sensor 301 continuously monitors changes in vehicle acceleration, detecting different types of bumps (such as small potholes, uneven road surfaces, and sudden braking), and transmits this data to the control unit 302 in real time. The pressure sensor 4026 monitors the air pressure level inside the airbag unit 401, ensuring that the airbag unit is always within a safe and effective pressure range, and the data is also fed back to the control unit 302 in real time. When the control unit 302 detects that the vehicle is traveling smoothly (such as on a flat road), it maintains the airbag unit 401 at a low, fixed air pressure (such as 30 kPa) to gently fit the component and provide basic protection. When the vehicle encounters moderate bumps (such as minor potholes), and the acceleration value exceeds a preset threshold (such as 0.5g) but has not yet reached the level of sudden braking, the control unit 302 linearly increases the air pressure of the airbag unit (such as to 50 kPa) according to the vibration intensity to enhance its support and adapt to the current vibration conditions. When the vehicle encounters emergency braking or severe bumps (acceleration value exceeding 1.5g), the control unit 302 will immediately send a command to the air pump module 4025 to quickly inflate it to the maximum pressure (e.g., 80kPa) to form a rigid barrier and prevent spare parts from flying out or being damaged by collision due to inertia.

[0058] In this embodiment, the air pump module 4025 employs a bidirectional air pump (500W power). The bidirectional air pump design allows it to rapidly inflate and deflate the airbag unit, a crucial capability for handling emergencies and unloading needs. When the vehicle encounters severe bumps, sudden braking, or other unexpected situations, the control module can immediately command the air pump to rapidly inflate, increasing the airbag pressure to instantly enhance shock absorption and protect spare parts from damage. Upon arrival at the destination and unloading, the bidirectional air pump can quickly evacuate the airbag, restoring it to a disused state for easy removal of spare parts, improving loading and unloading efficiency. The 500W power of the air pump signifies a high gas flow rate and instantaneous pressure output capability. During inflation and deflation, the high-power air pump significantly reduces operation time, which is crucial for transportation environments requiring rapid response. For example, in emergencies, the high-power air pump can quickly reach its maximum inflation rate, ensuring the airbag provides maximum support in the shortest time, enhancing immediate protection against emergencies.

[0059] Optionally, when the airbag unit 401 is inflated, it adheres to the surface of the automotive spare part. At this time, the airbag unit 401 has an inflated volume of 0.5L to 1.5L and a maximum pressure resistance of 60kPa to 100kPa. In the inflated state, the airbag unit 401 expands and adheres to the surface of the automotive spare part. The 0.5L to 1.5L inflated volume range is optimized to accommodate spare parts of different sizes and shapes. The smaller volume (0.5L) is suitable for wrapping small or lightweight parts, such as screws and small accessories, providing precise fixation; while the larger volume (1.5L) is more suitable for wrapping larger or heavier components, such as headlights and bumpers, providing more comprehensive and robust protection. Within the limited space of the transport box, the inflated volume of the airbag unit 401 directly affects loading efficiency. The volume range of 0.5L to 1.5L ensures that the airbag can provide sufficient protection while maximizing space utilization, avoiding space waste caused by over-inflation and improving transportation efficiency.

[0060] Specifically, the maximum pressure resistance of the airbag unit is designed to ensure it can withstand anticipated external forces during transport, including impacts from sudden braking, collisions, or bumps. This pressure resistance setting allows the airbag unit to dynamically adjust its inflation pressure based on real-time vibration intensity and sensor data, under the control module's regulation, thereby providing optimal shock absorption.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the airbag unit 401 is inflated, its expansion volume is 1L and its maximum pressure bearing capacity is 80kPa. At this time, the airbag unit 401 can fit tightly against the spare part, ensuring that the part is securely fixed during transportation and reducing shaking and collisions caused by gaps.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the airbag unit 401 is made of multi-layer composite material. The airbag unit 401 includes: an airbag body 4020, an outer wear-resistant layer 4021, a middle tear-resistant layer 4022, and an inner cushioning layer 4023. Gas is filled between adjacent layers of the airbag unit 401. The design principle of the multi-layer composite material is to achieve the wear resistance, tear resistance, and cushioning functions of the airbag unit 401 through the combination of different materials, thereby protecting spare parts and extending the service life of the airbag unit 401.

[0063] Specifically, the outer wear-resistant layer 4021 is made of polyurethane material with a thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 2mm. Polyurethane is a high-performance synthetic material with excellent wear resistance, tear resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. The thickness of the polyurethane wear-resistant layer is designed to be between 0.5mm and 2mm. This material thickness range ensures that the airbag effectively resists wear and minor abrasive damage when in contact with the external environment, while maintaining good flexibility and weight control. This thickness range was chosen to find the optimal balance between wear resistance and lightweight design, ensuring that the airbag unit provides sufficient protection without significantly increasing the weight of the entire device.

[0064] In this embodiment, the outer wear-resistant layer 4021 has a thickness of 1 mm. The outer wear-resistant layer 4021, made of 1 mm thick polyurethane material, serves as the outer layer of the airbag unit 401, which can effectively resist friction and impact during transportation and extend the service life of the airbag unit 401.

[0065] The outer wear-resistant layer 4021 can also be made of materials such as polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, and polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0066] Specifically, the intermediate tear-resistant layer 4022 is made of aramid fiber material and has a woven structure with a thickness ranging from 1 mm to 3 mm. Aramid fiber (such as Kevlar) is a synthetic fiber with extremely high strength and light weight. As the intermediate layer of the airbag unit, it can effectively enhance the structural strength of the airbag unit 401 and prevent it from rupturing under large impacts.

[0067] Optionally, the intermediate tear-resistant layer 4022 is configured with a woven structure to provide uniform mechanical properties, meaning the aramid fibers have the same strength in all directions. This uniformity helps the airbag unit distribute pressure evenly when subjected to external forces in different directions, preventing tearing or damage caused by excessive localized stress. During transportation, this structure effectively copes with pressure from spare parts and potential collisions within the hopper, ensuring the integrity and shock absorption of the airbag unit. The woven structure enhances material stability through the interlacing of fibers. When the airbag unit is inflated, the woven layer provides additional support, preventing over-inflation or deformation of the airbag, maintaining the shape and size stability of the airbag unit, and thus ensuring effective protection of the spare parts under various inflation conditions.

[0068] In this embodiment, the intermediate tear-resistant layer 4022 is made of aramid fiber material, with a woven structure and a thickness of 2mm. During spare parts loading and transportation, the aramid fiber intermediate tear-resistant layer 4022 can effectively enhance the structural strength of the airbag unit 401, ensuring its integrity and airtightness when subjected to impact.

[0069] The intermediate tear-resistant layer 4022 can also be made of materials such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, and nylon.

[0070] Specifically, the inner buffer layer 4023 is made of closed-cell foamed silicone material with a thickness ranging from 1mm to 3mm. Closed-cell foamed silicone has excellent elasticity and cushioning capacity, while preventing the penetration of moisture and impurities, keeping the inside of the airbag clean and dry. The inner buffer layer 4023, made of closed-cell foamed silicone, provides sufficient cushioning to reduce the impact force on the contact surface between the spare parts and the airbag, while maintaining a soft touch and preventing scratches on the spare parts surface. The elastic properties of the foamed silicone also allow it to quickly return to its original shape, providing stable protection even under continuous vibration conditions.

[0071] In this embodiment, the inner buffer layer 4023, made of closed-cell foamed silicone material, has a thickness of 2mm. The closed-cell foamed silicone inner buffer layer can directly contact the spare part, providing buffer protection while avoiding scratches on the surface of the spare part, ensuring the spare part remains intact.

[0072] The inner buffer layer 4023 can also be made of materials such as EVA foam or flexible silicone.

[0073] Alternatively, traditional automotive spare parts transportation often uses disposable foam, bubble wrap, and other materials, which not only consumes a lot of resources but also generates a large amount of waste packaging after each shipment, burdening the environment. In contrast, the shock-absorbing airbag unit 401 in this solution is made of durable composite materials, including polyurethane, aramid fiber, and silicone. These materials not only provide efficient shock absorption but can also be inflated and deflated multiple times without damage, enabling material recycling. This significantly reduces the need for disposable packaging, lowers waste generation during transportation, and aligns with the trend of green logistics.

[0074] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the multi-layered composite structure of the airbag unit 401 has spaces between it for filling with inert gas (such as nitrogen). Inert gas is chemically stable and does not readily react with the external environment or the airbag material, thus improving the long-term stability and safety of the airbag unit. Gas filling not only ensures sufficient cushioning capacity for the airbag unit 401 but also utilizes the compressibility and fluidity of the gas, allowing the airbag unit 401 to respond to changes in external pressure, forming a dynamic support structure. In the inflated state, the gas causes the airbag unit 401 to expand, filling the gaps between the spare parts and the airbag unit 401, achieving a tight seal; in the deflated state, the expulsion of gas causes the airbag unit 401 to return to its flat state, facilitating the removal of the spare parts and the storage of the airbag unit 401.

[0075] Figure 3 The diagram shows a top view of an embodiment of the shockproof recyclable hopper of the present invention with its airbag mesh structure unfilled. Figure 4 A top view of an embodiment of the shockproof recyclable hopper according to the present invention, with its airbag mesh structure filled, is shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The comparison shows that in the uninflated state, the airbag mesh structure is usually relatively flat, with relatively large spaces between the airbag units 401. At this time, because the internal gas volume of each airbag unit 401 is very small or nonexistent, its shape is closer to a flat, bag-like structure, similar to an uninflated air cushion. The connections between the airbag units 401 do not form a tight wrapping effect. In contrast, when the airbag units 401 are inflated, each airbag unit 401 expands to its designed expansion volume (e.g., 0.5L to 1.5L), forming a honeycomb-like dense structure. After the airbag units 401 inflate, the gaps between them are greatly reduced, or even eliminated, thus forming a continuous, seamless protective layer in the top view. At this time, the airbag mesh structure 400 can closely conform to the shape of the automotive spare part 200, forming a "customized" wrapping, providing uniform and strong support regardless of the spare part's shape.

[0076] Optionally, the uninflated airbag mesh structure is relatively flat and lacks effective shape adaptation. Therefore, when spare parts are placed in the bin, it only provides basic support and cannot effectively fill the gaps between spare parts. This can cause the spare parts to shake during transportation due to vehicle bumps, increasing the risk of damage. Conversely, the inflated airbag mesh structure can adaptively expand according to the shape and size of the spare parts, providing tight and uniform protection and significantly reducing the damage rate. In the uninflated state, the airbag mesh structure has low fixing strength and cushioning capacity, and cannot effectively resist the impact force during transportation. In the inflated state, each inflated airbag unit has a certain pressure-bearing capacity (e.g., 60kPa~100kPa). Together, they can form a rigid barrier, effectively absorbing and dispersing external forces and preventing damage to the spare parts. The uninflated airbag mesh structure appears as large gaps in a top view, which reduces space utilization to some extent, especially when loading spare parts of different sizes and shapes, potentially leading to wasted space inside the bin. The airbag mesh structure in the inflated state can reduce or even eliminate gaps between spare parts by expanding the airbag units, thus optimizing the spatial layout and improving loading efficiency and transportation density.

[0077] Figure 5 A front view of an embodiment of the airbag mesh structure of the shockproof recyclable hopper according to the present invention, without filling, is shown. Figure 6The diagram shows a front view of an embodiment of the shockproof recyclable hopper according to the present invention with its airbag mesh structure filled. In the uninflated state, the airbag mesh structure typically appears as a relatively flat planar structure in the front view. The airbag units 401 are not inflated at this time, and the entire airbag mesh presents itself as a network composed of multiple flat, interconnected airbag units. Each airbag unit appears as a thin layer in the front view, without forming obvious protrusions or a sense of layering. Due to the extremely small or absent internal gas volume, there may be large spaces and gaps between the airbag units, giving a "loose" visual effect. In contrast, when the airbag units 401 are inflated, the airbag mesh structure in the front view exhibits a more three-dimensional and fuller shape. After the airbag units inflate, they form a raised airbag structure in the front view, with the height and fullness of the protrusion varying depending on the amount of inflation. In the fully inflated state, the airbag units expand to their designed maximum volume, forming a structure similar to a "pillow" or "air cushion," significantly enhancing the thickness and strength of the entire airbag mesh. At this point, the airbag mesh appears as a uniform and continuous protective layer in the front view. The car parts are tightly surrounded by the airbag unit with almost no gaps, giving a visual effect of "tightness" and "safety".

[0078] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0079] 1. By arranging honeycomb-shaped airbag units on the side wall of the material bin, each airbag unit can be inflated independently, tightly fitting the surface of the spare part. Regardless of the shape of the spare part, it can achieve "zero gap" wrapping, thereby reducing the damage rate of vulnerable and irregularly shaped parts during transportation. Moreover, the control module can dynamically adjust the air pressure based on real-time monitoring of vibration intensity and pressure sensor data, absorbing impact energy and further reducing damage to parts caused by vibration and collision.

[0080] 2. This solution employs a one-button deflation design, significantly shortening unloading time and eliminating the need for manual disassembly of traditional packaging materials such as foam or bubble wrap, thus dramatically improving loading and unloading efficiency. Simultaneously, the recyclability of the airbag unit material avoids the need for new packaging materials for each shipment, reducing waste and lowering logistics costs, achieving a win-win situation of environmental protection and economic benefits.

[0081] The above embodiments can also be applied to the field of equipment technology. Specifically, according to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, including a shock-resistant recyclable storage bin, which is any of the shock-resistant recyclable storage bins described in the above embodiments. The design principle of integrating the shock-resistant recyclable storage bin into the vehicle is to achieve full-process dynamic protection for automotive spare parts. Through the vehicle's built-in shock-resistant recyclable storage bin, continuous protection can be provided throughout the entire process of loading, transporting, and unloading spare parts, improving the safety and efficiency of transporting automotive spare parts, reducing damage to spare parts caused by vibration, and simplifying the loading and unloading process.

[0082] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0083] In addition to the above, it should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "another embodiment," and "embodiment" used in this specification refer to specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment, which are included in at least one embodiment described in the general description of this application. The appearance of the same expression in multiple places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with any embodiment, the intention is to suggest that implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments also falls within the scope of this invention.

[0084] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0085] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
