Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive trunk technology, specifically to an automotive trunk assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Electric vehicles are a type of new energy vehicle with environmental advantages. The trunk of an electric vehicle is one of the important spaces in the car, used to load luggage, boxes, etc., providing convenience for users. Existing technology 1 (Chinese patent application No. 202422359915.3, application date 2024-09-27) describes a flip-up PET waterproof cover for a suitcase. During use, the water-blocking strip effectively isolates moisture, ensuring that the items inside the suitcase will not be soaked by accumulated water; the gaps in the water-blocking strip are designed... The design effectively guides accumulated water into the drainage box, preventing water from accumulating on the cover surface and further improving the waterproof effect. Existing technology 2 (Chinese patent application No. 200910103633.4, application date 2009-04-17) is a waterproof structure for a car trunk. During use, a waterproof baffle is added between the side panel assembly and the rear floor, and overlaps with the rear side panel to form a dam, which can play a waterproof role and prevent rainwater from entering the trunk, thereby improving the waterproof, noise reduction, and air leakage prevention effects of the vehicle body.

[0003] When using a car trunk, users may need to transport special items, such as pet supplies, including animal feces, vomit (unsealed), and infectious pet supplies (such as bedding and food for sick pets). Therefore, a protective enclosure is needed in the trunk to allow for flexible space allocation and safe transport of these special items. However, during transport, the vehicle's movement can cause bacteria to disperse and remain on the protective enclosure. If the operator opens the enclosure directly, bacterial infection can occur. Furthermore, a single protective layer is insufficient for cleaning the enclosure during operation, leaving hazardous residues. The existing technology described in the application lacks a multi-layered cleaning and protection structure, resulting in bacteria remaining on the enclosure's surface and lower safety for users when handling it. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automotive trunk assembly that solves the problem mentioned in the background art, where the lack of a multi-layered cleaning and protection structure during use results in bacteria remaining on the surface of the trunk, leading to lower safety for users when touching the trunk.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a car trunk assembly, comprising a trunk body, a door panel hinged to the surface of the trunk body, an electric slide rail on the right side of the trunk body, and a slide plate slidably disposed inside the electric slide rail; an upper connecting plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide plate, a connecting shaft rotatably disposed inside the upper connecting plate, and a movable rod connected to the upper surface of the slide plate via a reciprocating component, and a brush plate inserted into the movable rod; a limiting plate fixedly connected to the right side surface of the trunk body, a cleaning plate movably connected to the upper surface of the trunk body, a transverse moving component disposed between the cleaning plate and the connecting shaft, and a connecting rod slidably disposed inside the limiting plate, while a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod; a lifting component disposed between the trunk body and the cleaning plate.

[0006] Preferably, the right side of the box body is protruding, and a traction rope is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the protruding part of the box body. The other side of the traction rope is wound and fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft, and a sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the reciprocating component includes a column fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide plate, and an external rod is slidably disposed inside the column, and the external rod is fixedly connected to the movable rod.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the sleeve is provided with a guide groove, the top view of the external rod is an inverted "U" shape, the surface of the movable rod is fixedly connected with a guide rod, and the end of the guide rod is located inside the guide groove, and the guide groove is a continuous annular wave shape.

[0009] The above-described structure allows the connecting shaft to rotate inside the upper plate under the action of the traction rope. The connecting shaft then drives the movable rod and brush plate to slide through the sleeve, guide groove, and guide rod. At this time, the movable rod moves horizontally under the action of the column and the outer rod. That is, the movable rod and brush plate not only clean the door panel vertically with the slide plate, but also clean the door panel horizontally, resulting in high work efficiency and good cleaning effect.

[0010] Preferably, a torsion spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft, and the other side of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper connecting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the lateral movement component includes a circular plate fixedly connected to the left side surface of the connecting shaft, a mating block fixedly connected to the surface of the circular plate, a movable frame sleeved on the surface of the mating block, and a connecting rod fixedly connected to the side of the movable frame.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod, and the fixing plates are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the connecting rod.

[0013] The above structure is designed so that the fixed plate, the lower plate, and the cleaning plate can move horizontally, which can clean impurities on the upper surface of the box.

[0014] Preferably, the lifting component includes a lower plate fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cleaning plate, and the surface of the lower plate has a groove, and an auxiliary rod is fixedly connected to the right side surface of the box.

[0015] Preferably, the end of the auxiliary rod is disposed inside the groove, and the groove is horizontally wavy. A long pin is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lower plate, and the long pin is slidably disposed inside the fixed plate.

[0016] Preferably, the box is installed inside the trunk of the car, and the upper surface of the box and the upper surface of the cleaning plate are both inclined, and the lower surface of the cleaning plate is provided with a brush.

[0017] The above structure is designed so that the lower plate and the cleaning plate clean the cabinet in the vertical direction. At this time, the cleaning plate can gently tap the cabinet with its brushes to make the cabinet vibrate slightly, causing impurities to fall off and also to be shaken off the impurities on its own surface, so that no impurities remain on the cabinet and door panel, resulting in a good cleaning effect.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Adopting a novel structural design, the reciprocating components allow the brush plate to move both vertically and horizontally, efficiently cleaning impurities from the door panel surface. Furthermore, a lateral movement component allows the cleaning plate to clean the upper surface of the cabinet, and impurities on the cleaning plate's own surface are shaken off during movement. Additionally, a lifting component allows the cleaning plate to move vertically during movement, at which point the brush pieces gently tap the cabinet, causing slight vibrations that dislodge impurities and further shake off impurities from its own surface, preventing residue on the cabinet and door panel, resulting in excellent cleaning performance. The specific details are as follows:

[0019] This car trunk assembly is installed vertically inside the trunk of an electric vehicle during use. When the vehicle bumps during operation, and there are impurities or bacteria on the surface of the trunk and door panels, the electric slide rail is activated, which makes the brush plate and cleaning plate work. The brush plate and cleaning plate are in a multi-directional working state, which has a good cleaning effect, avoids bacterial residue, and improves safety.

[0020] In this car trunk assembly, when the electric slide rail moves the sliding plate downwards, the connecting shaft rotates inside the upper plate under the action of the traction rope. At this time, the connecting shaft drives the movable rod and brush plate to slide through the sleeve, guide groove and guide rod. The movable rod moves horizontally under the action of the column and the outer rod. That is, the movable rod and brush plate not only clean the door panel in the vertical direction with the sliding plate, but also clean the door panel in the horizontal direction. The work efficiency is high and the cleaning effect is good.

[0021] Furthermore, the brush plate and the movable rod are connected by an insertion mechanism. After prolonged use, the brush plate can be directly pulled out from the movable rod for cleaning, and then inserted back into the movable rod.

[0022] When the connecting shaft of this car trunk assembly rotates, it drives the circular plate to rotate. At this time, the circular plate drives the connecting rod to move through the docking block and the movable frame. Under the action of the connecting rod, the connecting rod and the limiting plate, the fixed plate makes a reciprocating linear motion in the horizontal direction. When the fixed plate moves, it will drive the lower connecting plate and the cleaning plate to move synchronously. In this way, the cleaning plate can clean the dust on the upper surface of the trunk and shake off the impurities on its own surface, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the trunk.

[0023] In this car trunk assembly, when the lower plate and the fixed plate move, the auxiliary rod on the outer wall of the trunk moves relative to the groove. At this time, the lower plate moves vertically under the action of the groove and the auxiliary rod, and the long pin slides inside the fixed plate. The lower plate slides stably inside the fixed plate. At this time, the lower plate and the cleaning plate are still cleaning the trunk in the vertical direction. The cleaning plate can gently tap the trunk with its brush to make the trunk vibrate slightly, causing impurities to fall off and also to be better shaken off the impurities on its own surface, so that no impurities remain on the trunk and door panels, resulting in a good cleaning effect.

[0024] In this car trunk assembly, when the slide descends, the torsion spring is stretched during the rotation of the connecting shaft. When the slide rises under the action of the electric slide rail, the connecting shaft rotates back under the action of the torsion spring. At this time, the operation of the connecting shaft will cause the above process to occur again. That is, during the rising and falling of the slide, both the brush plate and the cleaning plate have excellent cleaning effect and high work efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, when the connecting shaft rotates, it will rewind the traction rope, making it easier for the connecting shaft and traction rope to work again. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a car trunk assembly.

[0040] Example 1: A brush plate 12, which can move vertically and horizontally, can efficiently clean the door panel 2, preventing bacterial residue and improving safety. Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a door panel 2 hinged to the surface of the housing 1, an electric slide rail 3 on the right side of the housing 1, and a slide plate 4 slidably mounted inside the electric slide rail 3; an upper connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide plate 4, and a connecting shaft 6 is rotatably mounted inside the upper connecting plate 5; a movable rod 11 is connected to the upper surface of the slide plate 4 via a reciprocating component, and a brush plate 12 is inserted and connected inside the movable rod 11; the right side of the housing 1 is protruding, and a traction rope 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the protruding part of the housing 1; the other side of the traction rope 7 is wound and fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 6, and a sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 6.

[0041] The reciprocating component includes a column 10 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide plate 4, and an external rod 13 is slidably arranged inside the column 10. The external rod 13 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 11. A guide groove 9 is opened on the surface of the sleeve 8. The top view of the external rod 13 is an inverted "U" shape. A guide rod 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable rod 11, and the end of the guide rod 14 is located inside the guide groove 9. The guide groove 9 is a continuous annular wave shape.

[0042] During the operation of an electric vehicle, continuous bumps can cause bacteria to spread inside the casing 1, necessitating cleaning of the casing 1 and door panel 2. At this time, the electric slide rail 3 activates, moving the slide plate 4 downwards. Simultaneously, the connecting shaft 6, under the influence of the traction rope 7, rotates inside the upper connecting plate 5. The connecting shaft 6, through the sleeve 8, guide groove 9, and guide rod 14, drives the movable rod 11 and brush plate 12 to slide on the slide plate 4. The movable rod 11, under the influence of the column 10 and external connecting rod 13, moves horizontally. This means that the movable rod 11 and brush plate 12 not only clean the door panel 2 vertically with the slide plate 4 but also horizontally (e.g., ...). Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, it has high work efficiency and good cleaning effect, which improves the safety of the cabinet 1 and the door panel 2, so that the operator will not be affected by bacteria when opening the door panel 2.

[0043] The brush plate 12 and the movable rod 11 are connected by an insertion mechanism. After prolonged use, the brush plate 12 can be directly pulled out from the movable rod 11 for cleaning, and then inserted back into the movable rod 11.

[0044] Example 2: Unlike Example 1, the cleaning plate 20 can move left and right on the upper surface of the housing 1 through the provided transverse moving component. This allows the cleaning plate 20 to efficiently clean the upper surface of the housing 1 while also shaking off its own impurities. Figures 6-8 as well as Figure 10 As shown, a limiting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the right side surface of the box 1, and a cleaning plate 20 is movably connected to the upper surface of the box 1. A transverse moving component is provided between the cleaning plate 20 and the connecting shaft 6. A connecting rod 24 is slidably provided inside the limiting plate 23, and a fixing plate 22 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 24. The transverse moving component includes a circular plate 16 fixedly connected to the left side surface of the connecting shaft 6. A docking block 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the circular plate 16. A movable frame 18 is sleeved and connected to the surface of the docking block 17. A connecting rod 19 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable frame 18. A fixing plate 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 19. The fixing plates 22 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the connecting rod 24.

[0045] When the vehicle body vibrates, other impurities in the trunk will splash onto the cleaning plate 20. When the connecting shaft 6 rotates, it drives the circular plate 16 to rotate. At this time, the circular plate 16, through the docking block 17 and the movable frame 18, drives the connecting rod 19 to move. Meanwhile, the fixed plate 22, under the action of the connecting rod 19, the connecting rod 24, and the limiting plate 23, performs reciprocating linear motion in the horizontal direction. As the fixed plate 22 moves, it drives the lower connecting plate 21 and the cleaning plate 20 to move synchronously (e.g., ...). Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the cleaning plate 20 can clean the dust on the upper surface of the box 1, and at the same time shake off the impurities on its own surface, ensuring the cleanliness of the box 1.

[0046] Example 3: Unlike Example 2, the cleaning plate 20 is moved vertically during operation via a lifting component, such as... Figures 9-11 As shown, a lifting component is provided between the box body 1 and the cleaning plate 20. The lifting component includes a lower connecting plate 21 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cleaning plate 20, and a groove 25 is provided on the surface of the lower connecting plate 21. An auxiliary rod 26 is fixedly connected to the right side surface of the box body 1.

[0047] The end of the auxiliary rod 26 is located inside the groove 25, and the groove 25 is horizontally wavy. The lower surface of the lower plate 21 is fixedly connected to a long pin 27, and the long pin 27 is slidably located inside the fixed plate 22. The box 1 is located inside the trunk of the car, and the upper surface of the box 1 and the upper surface of the cleaning plate 20 are both inclined. The lower surface of the cleaning plate 20 is provided with a brush.

[0048] When the lower plate 21 and the fixed plate 22 move, the auxiliary rod 26 on the outer wall of the box 1 will move relative to the groove 25. At this time, the lower plate 21 moves vertically under the action of the groove 25 and the auxiliary rod 26 (at this time, the long pin 27 will slide inside the fixed plate 22). The lower plate 21 slides stably inside the fixed plate 22. The lower plate 21 also drives the cleaning plate 20 to clean the box 1 vertically. At this time, the cleaning plate 20 can also tap the box 1 lightly with the brush, causing the box 1 to vibrate slightly, causing stubborn impurities to fall off, and also making the impurities on its own surface to be shaken off better, so that no impurities remain on the box 1 and the door panel 2, and the cleaning effect is good.

[0049] Example 4: Unlike Example 3, the torsion spring 15 allows the cleaning work of the brush plate 12 and the cleaning plate 20 to be repeated, resulting in high work efficiency. Figure 7 As shown, a torsion spring 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 6, and the other side of the torsion spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper connecting plate 5.

[0050] When the skateboard 4 descends, the torsion spring 15 inside the upper connecting plate 5 is stretched during the rotation of the connecting shaft 6. When the skateboard 4 rises under the action of the electric slide rail 3, the connecting shaft 6 rotates under the action of the torsion spring 15. At this time, the operation of the connecting shaft 6 will cause the cleaning process of the brush plate 12 and the cleaning plate 20 to occur again. That is, during the rising and falling of the skateboard 4, the brush plate 12 and the cleaning plate 20 have excellent cleaning effect, high work efficiency, no bacteria residue, and further improve safety. At the same time, when the connecting shaft 6 rotates inside the upper connecting plate 5, it will rewind the traction rope 7, which is convenient for the next operation of the connecting shaft 6 and the traction rope 7.

[0051] The above is the entire working process of the device, and all contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0052] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
