For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] In one aspect of the embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a storage box structure 10 is provided, which is configured on a vehicle frame 20 for storing items. The storage box structure 10 includes: a box body 11 and a box cover 12 rotatably arranged on the box body 11. The box body 11 is used to be fixed on the vehicle frame 20, and the box cover 12 rotates to open and close to expose or close the opening of the box body 11.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 in combination. The box cover 12 includes a cover body 121 and a cover inner lining 122. The cover inner lining 122 is arranged on the side of the cover body 121 facing the box body 11. An ambient light 13 is provided between the cover body 121 and the cover inner lining 122. The ambient light 13 is fixed on the cover inner lining 122 and exposed from the cover body 121.

[0038] It should be noted that the cover inner lining 122 is fixed on the side of the cover body 121 facing the box body 11, and the two are preferably detachably connected. An accommodation space is formed by enclosing between the cover inner lining 122 and the cover body 121, and an ambient light 13 is provided in the accommodation space. The base of the ambient light 13 is fixed on the cover inner lining 122, and the light-emitting part is exposed from the cover body 121, so as to emit light out of the cover body 121, realizing the function of illuminating or rendering the atmosphere. In this embodiment, the way the ambient light 13 is exposed from the cover body 121 is not limited. For example, an opening is provided on the cover body 121, and the ambient light 13 is embedded in the opening to be exposed from the cover body 121. Or, the area of the cover body 121 corresponding to the ambient light 13 is transparent, so as to expose the ambient light 13, enabling the light emitted by the ambient light 13 to penetrate the cover body 121.

[0039] The number of the ambient lights 13 can be one, two or more. When the number of the ambient lights 13 is two or more, the colors of the two or more ambient lights 13 can be different. Or, the ambient light 13 itself can change color, so as to provide a better user experience for consumers.

[0040] When the box cover 12 is closed, the cover inner lining 122 is located inside the box body 11 or above the box body 11, and the cover inner lining 122 can be in contact with the box body 11 to seal the open mouth of the box body 11.

[0041] The above storage box structure 10 has both storage function and lighting function, and can provide a better user experience for consumers. Moreover, the cover inner lining 122 also integrates the function of the bottom shell of the ambient light 13, simplifies the product structure, reduces the number of parts, and lowers the production cost.

[0042] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , a circular groove 1221 is provided on the cover inner lining 122, and a sealing strip 123 is provided in the circular groove 1221. The sealing strip 123 is used to seal the gap between the box body 11 and the cover inner lining 122, achieving the effects of sealing, waterproofing and dustproofing, and protecting the items in the storage box structure 10 from being easily damaged.

[0043] The circular groove 1221 on the cover inner lining 122 is arranged around the open mouth of the box body 11, and the sealing strip 123 is also circular. Part of the sealing strip 123 is embedded in the circular groove 1221, and part of it is exposed from the cover inner lining 122. When the box cover 12 is closed, the sealing strip 123 is in contact with the surface of the box body 11, so as to achieve sealing. That is, when the box cover 12 is closed, the sealing strip 123 is located between the box body 11 and the cover inner lining 122, filling the gap between the two to achieve the sealing between the two.

[0044] Exemplarily, the annular groove 1221 is located on the surface of the lid liner 122 facing away from the lid body 121. The sealing strip 123 exposes in the area of the lid liner 122 and abuts against the upper surface of the box body 11. After abutting, the sealing strip 123 surrounds the opening in a circle on the outside of the opening, thereby sealing the opening.

[0045] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , a locking hook 124 is provided on the lid liner 122. The locking hook 124 is used to cooperate with the box lid lock on the vehicle frame 20 to lock or release the box lid.

[0046] When the locking hook 124 is locked with the box lid lock, the box lid 12 cannot be opened. When the locking hook 124 is unlocked from the box lid lock, the box lid 12 can be opened. Setting the locking hook 124 can prevent the items in the storage box structure 10 from being lost. The structures of the locking hook 124 and the box lid lock are prior arts and will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0047] Optionally, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 , the box body 11 and the box lid 12 are connected by a hinge 14. The hinge 14 includes a fixed seat 141 and a bracket 142. The fixed seat 141 and the bracket 142 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 143. The fixed seat 141 is fixedly connected to the box body 11, the bracket 142 is fixedly connected to the box lid 12 (such as the lid liner 122 of the box lid 12), and a torsion spring 144 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 143. One torsion arm of the torsion spring 144 abuts against the bracket 142 and the other torsion arm abuts against the box body 11. Please refer to Figure 8 in combination, when the box lid 12 is in the closed state, the torsion spring 144 deforms and stores energy. When the box lid 12 is in the open state, the torsion spring 144 supports the box lid 12.

[0048] The fixed seat 141 and the bracket 142 of the hinge 14 can rotate relative to each other, so the box lid 12 can rotate relative to the box body 11. When the box lid 12 is closed, the torsion spring 144 on the rotating shaft 143 is in a deformed state and stores energy under the oppression of the bracket 142 and the box body 11. At this time, a locking structure needs to be set on the box lid 12 to keep the box lid 12 in the closed state. After the locking structure is unlocked, the torsion spring 144 restores and releases energy, which can drive the box lid 12 to open and support the box lid 12 when the box lid 12 is opened to the maximum angle to prevent the box lid 12 from closing by itself.

[0049] Exemplarily, the number of the hinges 14 is two, and the two hinges 14 are symmetrically distributed, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the box lid 12.

[0050] Optionally, the hinge 14 further includes a damper 145 provided on the bracket 142. The damper 145 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 143, and the damper 145 is used to prevent the box lid 12 from suddenly bouncing up.

[0051] The damper 145 can make the bracket 142 move slowly when the torsion spring 144 is restored and released, thereby preventing the box cover 12 connected to the bracket 142 from suddenly bouncing up and accidentally injuring consumers. The damper 145 can improve the safety of the storage box structure 10.

[0052] For example, the bracket 142 is provided with a mounting hole 1421 , and the damper 145 is embedded in the mounting hole 1421 and sleeved on the rotating shaft 143 .

[0053] Optionally, the atmosphere lamp 13 has a power cord 131, and a wire groove 1422 is provided in the bracket 142, and the power cord 131 is fixed in the wire groove 1422. The power cord 131 is stuck in the wire groove 1422, which can prevent the power cord 131 from being exposed and scratched, thereby increasing electrical safety.

[0054] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 8 The box body 11 includes a bottom plate 111 and an annular outer frame 112 disposed on the bottom plate 111. The bottom plate 111 closes the bottom of the annular outer frame 112, and the top of the annular outer frame 112 forms an opening of the box body 11. The bottom plate 111 is used to be disposed on the frame 20 and abut against the top of the battery 40 disposed on the frame 20 to prevent the battery 40 from shaking up and down. A rotating handle 113 and a locking plate 114 linked to the rotating handle 113 are provided on the side of the bottom plate 111 facing the box cover 12. The consumer can drive the locking plate 114 to rotate by turning the rotating handle 113.

[0055] The lock plate 114 is used to cooperate with the limiting structure on the frame 20. When the rotating handle 113 drives the lock plate 114 to cooperate with the limiting structure, the bottom plate 111 is fixed on the frame 20, thereby limiting the battery 40 and preventing the lock plate 114 from moving during driving and causing the bottom plate 111 to open abnormally. When the rotating handle 113 drives the lock plate 114 to release the cooperation with the limiting structure, the bottom plate 111 can be removed from the frame 20, and then the battery 40 can be taken out. Continuing to disassemble the box body 11 can facilitate the maintenance of the electrical components installed on the frame 20, increasing the convenience of maintenance.

[0056] It should be noted that the rotating handle 113 and the locking plate 114 can be an integrated structure, that is, the two are two parts of the same part, or they can be a split structure, fixedly connected together by a connector or welding.

[0057] Furthermore, a buffer block 115 is provided on a side of the bottom plate 111 facing away from the box cover 12 , and the bottom plate 111 abuts against the battery 40 via the buffer block 115 .

[0058] The buffer block 115 can play a buffering role at the position where the bottom plate 111 contacts the battery 40 to prevent damage to the battery 40. The material of the buffer block 115 is preferably rubber.

[0059] Optionally, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , a limiting boss 1141 is provided on the lock plate 114, and the limiting boss 1141 is used to cooperate with the limiting hole 21 on the vehicle frame 20.
