[0058] The following will describe in detail the specific implementation manners of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only for explaining and illustrating the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0059] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the orientation terms such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right" generally refer to the front, rear, upper, lower, left, and right in the attached drawings. "Inner and outer" refer to the inside and outside of the contour of the corresponding component; "far and near" refer to the corresponding structure or component being far from or close to another structure or component.

[0060] The glove box 100 is an important component of the vehicle's trim panel assembly. It is usually arranged at the front end of the co-pilot's seat, and there are multiple other components arranged around it, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, there is a co-pilot airbag 700, an instrument panel crossbeam 600, and a cockpit domain controller 500 on its upper side, a vehicle body 300 and a central domain controller 400 on its front side, an air conditioning box 900 and a footwell air duct 210 on its left side, a right domain controller 1000 and a wiring harness on its right side, and a kick panel 200 on its lower side. Due to the limitations of components such as the co-pilot airbag and the instrument panel 800, as well as the ground clearance, the space of the glove box 100 in the up-down direction is very small; at the same time, it is arranged relatively long in the front-rear direction to increase the storage space (the volume of the accommodation cavity 101).

[0061] In the related art, the box body 110 of the glove box 100 is usually integrally injection-molded. Affected by the mold release angle of molding, the deeper the box body 110, the smaller the height and / or width dimensions of the rear end of the accommodation cavity 101 of the box body 110. Therefore, the extension in the front-rear direction cannot meet the usage requirements of the storage space of the glove box 100. Additionally, it is difficult for the integrally injection-molded product to meet the actual requirement of having a small opening and a large inner space of the accommodation cavity, that is, the opening size is small and the inner space of the accommodation cavity is large.

[0062] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a glove box 100, a vehicle, and its trim panel assembly. The box body 110 of the glove box 100 is split into a connectable first frame body 111 and a second frame body 112, such that the first frame body 111 and the second frame can be separately manufactured and then connected together to form a box body 110 with an opening 1011, no longer being limited by manufacturing aspects such as the mold release angle. Therefore, both the height dimension and the width dimension of the box body 110 can be maximized, and at the same time, the depth dimension can be increased to a certain extent. Thus, the volume of the accommodation cavity 101 of the glove box 100, that is, the storage space, is increased to at least solve the related technical problems.

[0063] To achieve the above purpose, as Figures 1 to 11As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a glove box 100 for an interior trim assembly of a vehicle. The glove box 100 includes a box body 110 and a box door 120. Among them, the box body 110 includes a first frame body 111 and a second frame body 112, and the first frame body 111 and the second frame body 112 enclose a receiving cavity 101 with an opening 1011; the box door 120 is openably installed at the opening 1011. The closed box door 120 and the box body 110 together enclose a relatively airtight storage space, and the box door 120 can be opened relative to the box body 110, that is, the opening 1011 of the receiving cavity 101 is exposed, for placing items, such as gloves, file bags, documents, etc.

[0064] Through the above technical solution, that is, the glove box 100 of the present disclosure, the box body 110 including the first frame body 111 and the second frame body 112, and the first frame body 111 and the second frame body 112 can enclose a receiving cavity 101 with an opening 1011, and the box door 120 is openably arranged at the opening 1011 for closing and opening the opening 1011. Compared with the related art, the glove box 100 of the present disclosure splits the integrally formed box body 110 into a connectable first frame body 111 and a second frame body 112, so that the first frame body 111 and the second frame can be manufactured separately and then connected together to enclose the box body 110 with an opening 1011, and is no longer limited by manufacturing aspects such as draft angles. Therefore, both the height dimension and the width dimension of the box body 110 can be maximized, and at the same time, the depth dimension can be increased to a certain extent. Therefore, the volume of the receiving cavity 101 of the glove box 100, that is, the storage space, is increased. In addition, it also enables the glove box 100 to meet the placement requirements of special objects such as file bags in the shape of a cuboid or a cube.

[0065] The box door 120 and the box body 110 can adopt any suitable connection method to realize the opening and closing of the box door 120. In some embodiments, the opening 1011 is formed at the front end of the second frame body 112, and the opening 1011 is arranged obliquely upward from below; the lower end of the box door 120 is hinged to the lower part of the second frame body 112, and the upper part of the box door 120 is unlockably connected to the second frame body 112 through a locking structure.

[0066] Among them, the opening 1011 is formed at the front end of the second frame body 112 and is arranged in an inclined manner from bottom to top. The lower end of the box door 120 is hinged to the lower part of the second frame body 112, and the upper door of the box door 120 is connected and fixed to the second frame body 112 and unlocked and separated through a locking structure, so as to realize the closing and locking and opening of the box door 120.

[0067] In order to increase the size of the receiving cavity 101 in the up and down directions, the hinge axis 140 for hinging the box door 120 and the second frame body 112 needs to be arranged as low as possible, such as Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the hinge axis 140 of the door 120 and the second housing 112 is located below the lower sidewall of at least a part of the accommodation cavity 101. With the above arrangement, the lower hinge axis 140 can make the plane of the lower sidewall of the accommodation cavity 101 as low as possible in the up and down directions, thereby increasing the size of the accommodation cavity 101 in the up and down directions and increasing the storage space.

[0068] The locking structure can be constructed using any suitable structure, such as Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking structure includes a first locking portion 1201 provided on the door 120 and a locking member 132 having a locking position and an unlocking position; the locking member 132 is movably connected to the second housing 112; in the locking position, the locking member 132 moves to the first locking portion 1201 to fixedly lock the upper part of the door 120 to the second housing 112; in the unlocking position, the locking member 132 retracts from the first locking portion 1201, so that the door 120 can rotate relative to the second housing 112 to open the opening 1011.

[0069] Among them, the locking member 132 is movably connected to the second housing 112 and has a locking position and an unlocking position. In the locking position, the locking member 132 can move to the first locking portion 1201 of the door 120, thereby locking the rotation of the door 120 relative to the second housing 112 to achieve the closing and locking of the door 120; in the unlocking position, the locking member 132 retracts from the first locking portion 1201 of the door 120, so that the door 120 can rotate relative to the second housing 112, thereby achieving the opening of the door 120. It can be understood that the locking member 132 can be any suitable structural member. For example, the locking member 132 includes but is not limited to a pin, and the first locking portion 1201 can be constructed as a groove or a lock hole provided on the door 120 corresponding to the pin. The pin is inserted into the groove or the lock hole to achieve locking, and the door 120 is unlocked by retracting from the groove or the lock hole.

[0070] In order to further facilitate the operation of the locking member 132, in some embodiments, the locking structure further includes an unlocking button 130 and a connecting member 131; the connecting member 131 is provided on the back of the second housing 112, and one end is connected to the locking member 132; the unlocking button 130 is provided on the door 120 and is connected to the other end of the connecting member 131 after passing through the door 120; by pressing the unlocking button 130, the connecting member 131 is pushed to move the locking member 132 to achieve unlocking.

[0071] The connecting member 131 of the locking structure is provided on the back surface of the second housing 112, and one end thereof is connected to the locking member 132, and the other end is connected to the unlocking button 130 passing through the door 120 of the glove box. By pressing the unlocking button 130, the connecting member 131 drives the locking member 132 to switch from the locking position to the unlocking position, thereby unlocking the door 120 of the glove box.

[0072] Meanwhile, compared with the solution in the related art where the locking rods of most vehicles are arranged on the door of the glove box 100, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the connecting member 131 is arranged on the back surface of the second housing 112, so that there is enough space for reaching objects even after the door 120 of the flat glove box 100 is opened, which is convenient for putting items into the accommodating cavity 101 or taking them out of the accommodating cavity 101.

[0073] In some embodiments, there may be two locking members 132, and the two locking members 132 are respectively slidably connected to the opposite sides of the second housing 112 in the left - right direction. That is, one locking member 132 is slidably connected to one side of the second housing 112 in the left - right direction, and the other locking member 132 is slidably connected to the other side of the second housing 112 in the left - right direction. Corresponding to the two locking members 132, two first locking portions 1201 corresponding to the locking members 132 one - to - one are also provided on the door 120 of the glove box, which are used to cooperate with the locking members 132 to lock the door 120 of the glove box.

[0074] Meanwhile, each locking member 132 is connected to a connecting member 131, and the two connecting members 131 are connected by a synchronizing member 133; the unlocking button 130 is connected to one connecting member 131. When the unlocking button 130 pushes the connecting member 131 and the locking member 132 connected to the connecting member 131 to be unlocked, the connecting member 131 can drive the other connecting member 131 and the locking member 132 to be unlocked through the synchronizing member 133. Through the above - mentioned arrangement, when the unlocking button 130 is pressed, one of the locking members 132 is unlocked through the connecting member 131 directly connected to the unlocking button 130 and the locking member 132 connected to the connecting member 131, and the other locking member 132 can be unlocked through the connecting member 131, the synchronizing member 133 and the other connecting member 131, so that the two locking members 132 are synchronously unlocked by one unlocking button 130. It should be noted that the two connecting members 131 and the synchronizing member 133 are all provided on the back surface of the second housing 112, which can ensure the space for taking objects while realizing synchronous unlocking.

[0075] It should be noted that the synchronizing member 133 can be constructed in any suitable structure. For example, in some embodiments, the synchronizing member 133 can be constructed as an annular member rotatably connected to the back surface of the second housing 112 and having two connecting arms. The two connecting arms are arranged opposite to the rotation center of the annular member. The ends of the two connecting members 131 away from the locking member 132 are respectively connected to the two connecting walls, so as to realize the synchronous movement of the two locking members 132 connected to the connecting member 131, that is, to synchronously reach the unlocking position or the locking position.

[0076] In some embodiments, in order to enable the pressing action of the unlocking button 130 to push the connecting member 131 to unlock the locking member 132, the connecting member 131 extends in the left-right direction, the unlocking button 130 extends in the front-back direction, the unlocking button 130 is formed with a wedge portion 1301, and the connecting member 131 is formed with a columnar portion 1311 that cooperates with the wedge portion 1301. When the unlocking button 130 is pressed, through the cooperation of the wedge portion 1301 and the columnar portion 1311, the connecting member 131 is pushed to move in the left-right direction to achieve unlocking. Among them, the wedge portion 1301 and the columnar portion 1311 can be in a butting relationship. When the unlocking button 130 is pressed, the wedge portion 1301 pushes the columnar portion 1311 to slide away from the first locking portion 1201, so that the connecting member 131 can drive the locking member 132 to retract from the first locking portion 1201 to unlock the box door 120.

[0077] In order to enable the locking member 132 to reset from the unlocking position to the locking position when the pressing of the unlocking button 130 is cancelled, so as to lock the box door 120 and the second housing 112, the locking structure further includes a first reset member 134, which is respectively connected to the unlocking button 130 and the second housing 112 to drive the unlocking button 130 to reset; and / or, the locking structure further includes a second reset member 135, which is respectively connected to the connecting member 131 and the second housing 112 to drive the locking member 132 to reset from the unlocking position to the locking position through the connecting member 131.

[0078] In some embodiments, the locking structure can include a first reset member 134. The first reset member 134 can be directly connected between the unlocking button 130 and the second housing 112 or indirectly connected between the two. For example, one end of the first reset member 134 can be connected to the unlocking button 130, and the other end is connected to the second housing 112 or a fixing member fixedly connected to the second housing 112. When the unlocking button 130 is pressed, the first reset member 134 can be compressed or stretched. When the unlocking button 130 is released, the first reset member 134 is used to drive the unlocking button 130 to reset.

[0079] In addition, the first reset member 134 can also drive the unlocking button 130 to reset, so that the unlocking button 130 pushes the connecting member 131 in the reverse direction, enabling the connecting member 131 to drive the locking member 132 to switch from the unlocking position to the locking position.

[0080] In some embodiments, the locking structure may further include a second reset member 135. The second reset member 135 is respectively connected to the connecting member 131 and the second housing 112. When the unlocking button 130 is pressed, the second reset member 135 can be compressed or stretched, and the connecting member 131 drives the locking member 132 to retract from the first locking portion 1201 to unlock the box door 120. When the unlocking button 130 is released, the second reset member 135 is used to drive the connecting member 131 to reset, and the connecting member 131 drives the locking member 132 to extend into the first locking portion 1201 to lock the box door 120. It can be understood that when there are two locking members 132 and two connecting members 131 are respectively and correspondingly connected to the locking members 132, the second reset member 135 can also be two, and are respectively connected to one connecting member 131 and the second housing 112, so as to realize the simultaneous reset of the two connecting members 131.

[0081] In other embodiments, the locking structure may simultaneously include the first reset member 134 and the second reset member 135. One end of the first reset member 134 can be connected to the unlocking button 130, and the other end is connected to the second housing 112 or fixedly connected to a fixing member of the second housing 112. The second reset member 135 is respectively connected to the connecting member 131 and the second housing 112. When the unlocking button 130 is pressed, the first reset member 134 can be compressed or stretched, and the second reset member 135 can be compressed or stretched. The connecting member 131 drives the locking member 132 to retract from the first locking portion 1201 to unlock the box door 120. When the unlocking button 130 is released, the first reset member 134 is used to drive the unlocking button 130 to reset, and the second reset member 135 is used to drive the connecting member 131 to reset. The connecting member 131 drives the locking member 132 to extend into the first locking portion 1201 to lock the box door 120.

[0082] It should be noted that the first reset member 134 and the second reset member 135 can be elastic members such as springs, springs or elastic rubbers. When the user presses the unlocking button 130, they can be stressed or stretched, and can drive the unlocking button 130 and the connecting member 131 to reset after the pressing force is removed.

[0083] The unlocking button 130 can be arranged at any suitable position on the box door 120.

The wind guiding structure 222 is used to guide the air from the air outlet 221b to the feet position of the occupant. It can also meet the heating requirements of the occupant's feet.

[0092] Among them, the kick panel 200 includes a kick panel body 220 and a wind guiding structure 222. The kick panel body 220 includes an air duct 221 having an air inlet 221a and an air outlet 221b; the wind guiding structure 222 is provided in the air duct 221. The wind guiding structure 222 can be constructed using any suitable structure. In some embodiments, the wind guiding structure 222 can be provided at the air outlet 221b in the air duct 221. It can include a first plate body 2221 extending in the left-right direction and at least partially inclined forward in the front-rear direction, and a second plate body 2222 extending in the front-rear direction and at least partially inclined to the right in the left-right direction. The first plate body 2221 and the second plate body 2222 act together to guide the air in the air duct 221 to blow from the air outlet 221b to the feet position of the occupant.

[0093] As Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, in some other embodiments, the air duct 221 includes at least four side walls, namely a front side wall 2211, a rear side wall 2212, a left side wall 2213 and a right side wall 2214. The air outlet 221b can be divided into two parts by the first plate body 2221. Among them, the first plate body 2221 and the front side wall 2211, the rear side wall 2212, and the left side wall 2213 of the air duct 221 enclose a first air flow path I for heating the left foot of the occupant; the first plate body 2221 and the front side wall 2211, the rear side wall 2212, and the right side wall 2214 of the air duct 221 enclose a second air flow path II for heating the right foot of the occupant. That is, at least a part of the first plate body 2221 is arranged in an inclined manner to the right, so as to distribute the air in the air duct 221 to the feet of the occupant in the left-right direction. At the same time, the second plate body 2222 can be multiple, arranged at and at least partially in an inclined-forward manner, so as to guide the air in the air duct 221 forward in the front-rear direction (i.e., the position of the occupant's feet). Therefore, the first plate body 2221 and the second plate body 2222 cooperate to guide the air at the air outlet 221b of the air duct 221 to blow to the feet position of the occupant, meeting the use requirements.

[0094] In some embodiments, the air duct 221 can be located at any suitable position on the kick panel body 220. Among them, the kick panel body 220 includes a first lateral edge 2201 and a second lateral edge 2202 that are oppositely arranged in the left-right direction. In some preferred embodiments, the air outlet 221b can be arranged close to the first lateral edge 2201 of the kick panel body 220, that is, at this time the air duct 221 is located on the left side of the kick panel body 220, and can be set at the left side position of the glove box 100, that is, the left side of the co-pilot occupant, without occupying the bottom space of the glove box 100. The air outlet 221b of the air duct 221 is arranged at the left front side of the occupant. At this time, the first lateral edge 2201 is the side edge of the kick panel body 220 close to the vehicle center console. Thus, the air in the first air flow path I flows towards the left foot of the occupant, and the air in the second air flow path II flows towards the right foot of the occupant.

[0095] In some other embodiments, the air outlet 221b can be arranged close to the second lateral edge 2202 of the kick panel body 220, that is, at this time the air duct 221 is located on the right side of the kick panel body 220, that is, the right side of the co-pilot occupant, or the air outlet 221b can be located in the middle of the kick panel body 220, that is, at this time the air duct 221 is located at any position between the first lateral edge 2201 and the second lateral edge 2202 of the kick panel body 220. The present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.
