The present application can also be implemented or applied by other different embodiments, and the details in the description can be modified or changed based on different views and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application, and the following examples and the features in the examples can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0027] It should be noted that the diagrams provided in the following examples only schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present application, and the figures only show the components related to the present application without drawing the number, shape and size of the components when actually implemented, and the shape, number and ratio of the components can be arbitrarily changed when actually implemented, and the layout of the components can also be more complex.

[0028] In the following description, a large number of details are discussed to provide a more thorough explanation of the embodiments of the present application, however, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented without these specific details, and in other embodiments, the known structures and devices are shown in the form of block diagrams rather than in the form of details to avoid making the embodiments of the present application difficult to understand.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 A center console provided by an embodiment of the present application includes a body structure 100, a storage box 200 and an opening and closing assembly 300. By integrating the pullable storage box 200 in the center console and providing the linkage type opening and closing assembly 300, the safety hazards of the traditional armrest box being easily touched by mistake and the seat side storage box 200 being inconvenient to operate are effectively solved. It is located in the core area of the driving vision, and the visibility and operation convenience are both improved. The reliable locking mechanism ensures that the storage box 200 will not accidentally slide out during vehicle driving, and enhances the driving safety and riding stability.

[0030] The center console is an important part of the automotive interior. The center console includes a body structure 100, the body structure 100 is installed on the vehicle floor, and various functions such as the center display screen, air conditioner and vehicle control are integrated on the body structure 100, and the main improvement point of the present application is not in the above functions, which will not be described in detail.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In the embodiment, the body structure 100 includes a through mounting slot 110, which can be arranged above or on the side of the center console. The storage box 200 is movably arranged in the mounting slot 110 along the through direction of the mounting slot 110, so as to realize the pulling of the storage box 200 in the mounting slot 110. The above-mentioned storage box 200 is located in the core area of the driving vision, which improves the visibility and operation convenience. In an embodiment, the mounting slot 110 is arranged on the side of the center console and penetrates in the direction perpendicular to the center console. The storage box 200 includes a bottom wall 210 and a side wall 220 surrounding the bottom wall 210. The mounting slot 110 includes an opening 111 arranged on the wall body of the center console. The side wall 220 includes a first wall body 221 for blocking the opening 111 of the mounting slot 110. That is, when the storage box 200 is located in the mounting slot 110, the first wall body 221 is used for blocking the opening 111. The shape of the first wall body 221 is not limited, as long as it is matched with the shape of the opening 111. The arrangement improves the appearance of the outer surface of the center console and the sealing property of the storage box 200.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 Further, the center console further includes an opening and closing assembly 300 for locking and opening the storage box 200. Specifically, the opening and closing assembly 300 includes a locking member 310 and a handle 320. The locking member 310 is rotationally connected to the first wall body 221. The rotational connection can be in various forms. In the embodiment, the locking member 310 is rotationally connected to the first wall body 221 through a rotating shaft 330. Preferably, a return spring (not shown in the figure) is arranged between the locking member 310 and the rotating shaft 330. The locking member 310 further includes an abutting portion 311 for abutting with the edge of the opening 111. In the natural state, the abutting portion 311 abuts with the edge of the opening 111 under the action of the return spring. The handle 320 is located outside the first wall body 221 and is connected to the end of the locking member 310 away from the abutting portion 311, so as to control the rotation of the locking member 310 around the rotating shaft 330. The locking member 310 is connected to or separated from the edge of the opening 111 through the clamping, so as to realize the locking and opening of the storage box 200. The opening and closing assembly 300 controls the locking member 310 through the handle 320, so that the locking member 310 and the edge of the opening 111 of the mounting slot 110 are firmly clamped and smoothly separated. The mechanism can prevent the storage box 200 from accidentally sliding out due to inertia when the vehicle is driving, turning or running on a bumpy road, avoids the potential danger caused by the scattering of articles, and ensures the safety of passengers and the driving stability.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, in an embodiment of the center console of the present application, the center console further comprises a mounting base plate 400 for supporting the storage box 200 and a sliding assembly 500. The mounting base plate 400 is mounted on the body structure 100 and extends along the through direction of the mounting groove 110. The structure of the mounting base plate 400 is not limited and can be any structure capable of supporting the storage box 200. The mounting base plate 400 provides a stable and reliable mounting base and a force bearing path for the storage box 200, ensuring the structural rigidity and stability during the pulling process. The sliding assembly 500 is arranged between the storage box 200 and the mounting base plate 400. The sliding assembly 500 has various structural forms, such as a sliding rail structure, a roller structure, or a sliding groove 720 sliding channel structure, which is not limited. The arrangement of the sliding assembly 500 enables the storage box 200 to move smoothly and stably along the mounting base plate 400, avoiding jamming or abnormal noise, improving the operation feel and user experience, and at the same time ensuring the long service life and functional consistency of the storage box 200 under frequent pulling working conditions.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in an embodiment of the center console of the present application, the sliding assembly 500 includes a first sliding rail 510 and a second sliding rail 520, both of which extend along the through direction of the mounting groove 110. This double-track arrangement forms a stable two-point or multi-point synchronous sliding support, effectively limiting the possible deflection, jamming or shaking of the storage box 200 during the pulling process, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the movement trajectory. Further, the first sliding rail 510 is mounted on the bottom wall 210, and the side wall 220 further includes a second wall body 222 extending along the through direction of the mounting groove 110, and the second sliding rail 520 is mounted on the second wall body 222. The first sliding rail 510 and the second sliding rail 520 constitute a three-dimensional positioning and constraint mechanism in the height direction and the horizontal direction in space. This structure not only effectively limits the forward and backward displacement of the storage box 200 during the pulling movement, but also enhances the freedom of limitation in the horizontal direction (left and right shaking) and the height direction (up and down jumping).

[0035] Please refer to Figure 6 , in an embodiment of the center console of the present application, the second wall body 222 is arranged at an angle with the bottom wall 210, and the angle is α, where α > 90°. This arrangement enhances the structural rigidity and anti-deformation capability of the mounting area of the second sliding rail 520, ensuring that the mounting point of the second sliding rail 520 is not easily deformed when subjected to lateral load or torsional load, thereby maintaining the long-term stability and smoothness of the sliding process. At the same time, this obtuse angle structure provides a more optimal force transmission path for the sliding assembly 500, enabling the lateral force to be effectively dispersed to the main body structure of the storage box 200, reducing stress concentration, and further improving the durability and reliability of the pull-out type storage box 200 under frequent vehicle motion working conditions.

[0036] Please refer toFigure 4 And Figure 5 In an embodiment of the center console of the present application, the center console further comprises a first limiting assembly 600, which comprises a limiting hole 610 and a limiting protrusion 620. The shape of the limiting protrusion 620 is not limited and can be a plate protrusion or a columnar protrusion. In the present embodiment, the limiting protrusion 620 is a plate protrusion, and a bent portion 630 is arranged at the end of the plate protrusion, which is used to limit the movement of the storage box 200 in the height direction. The limiting hole 610 extends along the movement direction of the storage box 200, and the limiting protrusion 620 is at least partially inserted into the limiting hole 610 and moves along the extension direction of the limiting hole 610. Through the mechanical engagement of the limiting protrusion 620 and the limiting hole 610, it is prevented that the storage box 200 is pulled out excessively due to inertia or is damaged by impact. Specifically, the limiting protrusion 620 and the limiting hole 610 are arranged on the sliding assembly 500, and the limiting protrusion 620 is arranged on the mounting bottom plate 400; or, the limiting hole 610 is arranged on the mounting bottom plate 400, and the limiting protrusion 620 is arranged on the sliding assembly 500. The above-mentioned two-way interchangeable arrangement mode makes the structural design of the first limiting assembly 600 have higher flexibility and assembly adaptability, while ensuring the reliability of the limiting function, reduces the manufacturing and assembly complexity. It should be noted that the number of limiting assemblies is not limited, and in the present embodiment, two limiting protrusions 620 are arranged on the first sliding rail 510 and the second sliding rail 520, respectively, and two limiting holes 610 corresponding to the limiting protrusions 620 are arranged on the mounting bottom plate 400.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 And Figure 4 In an embodiment of the center console of the present application, the center console further comprises a second limiting assembly 700, which comprises a limiting plate 710 and a sliding groove 720. The limiting plate 710 protrudes from the bottom wall 210 towards the mounting bottom plate 400 and is located at the end of the bottom wall 210 away from the opening 111. The sliding groove 720 is arranged on the side of the mounting bottom plate 400 facing the bottom wall 210 and extends along the movement direction of the storage box 200. The end of the sliding groove 720 close to the opening 111 is provided with a blocking wall 730 limiting the limiting plate 710. The design stroke of the second limiting assembly 700 is greater than that of the first limiting assembly 600, so that the second limiting assembly 700 does not intervene in the pulling movement within the normal range in normal operation, and only finally intervenes in the blocking when the first limiting assembly 600 fails unexpectedly or the storage box 200 is excessively displaced due to abnormal external force. This hierarchical limiting mode not only ensures smooth operation without interference, but also provides reliable overload protection and enhances the anti-disengagement capability in extreme cases.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 4 And Figure 6, in an embodiment of the console of the present application, the wall body further comprises a third wall body 223 opposite the first wall body 221 and a fourth wall body 224 opposite the second wall body 222; along the depth direction of the storage box 200, the end of the first wall body 221 away from the bottom wall 210 is higher than the ends of the second wall body 222, the third wall body 223 and the fourth wall body 224 away from the bottom wall 210, the shortest distance from the end of the first wall body 221 away from the bottom wall 210 to the ends of the second wall body 222, the third wall body 223 and the fourth wall body 224 away from the bottom wall 210 is L1, the height of the limiting plate 710 is L2, wherein L1>L2, as shown in Figure 6 . This setting achieves the effect that the storage box 200 can be completely separated from the mounting groove 110. Specifically, when the storage box 200 is pulled to the maximum stroke, since the top end of the first wall body 221 is higher than the heights of the other wall bodies plus the limiting plate 710, sufficient operating space and visual gap are provided for the user. The user can conveniently lift the storage box 200 upward, so that the limiting plate 710 with a smaller height is disengaged from the sliding groove 720, thereby easily taking out the entire storage box 200 from the mounting groove 110. This design ingeniously combines the pulling movement with the separation action, realizes the deep cleaning or flexible replacement of the storage box 200 without additional complex mechanisms, and also allows access to the interior of the console through the mounting groove 110 for corresponding maintenance work.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in an embodiment of the console of the present application, the console further comprises a mask 800 covering and mounted on the outside of the first wall body 221, and the mask 800 comprises a recess 810 accommodating the handle 320. The mask 800 as the visible part of the interior decoration of the console effectively shields the internal mounting structure, significantly enhancing the overall visual neatness and seniority. The design of the recess 810 allows the handle 320 to be embedded therein, realizing the hidden or semi-hidden layout of the handle 320, which not only avoids accidental scratches or misoperations caused by additional protrusions, but also improves the aesthetic appearance of the interior decoration.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in an embodiment of the console of the present application, the console further comprises a decorative piece 900 arranged around the mask 800, and the decorative piece 900 is mounted on the edge of the opening 111, and along the moving direction of the storage box 200, the mask 800 is recessed in the decorative piece 900. The decorative piece 900 as the visible component mounted on the edge of the opening 111 effectively shields the assembly gap between the storage box 200 and the mounting groove 110, improving the integrity and aesthetic appearance of the interior decoration. The recessed design of the mask 800 relative to the decorative piece 900 not only clearly defines the operation area in terms of touch and vision, but also avoids accidental touch by the user, and forms a three-dimensional modeling.

[0041] The application also provides a vehicle (not shown in the figure), which can be a fuel automobile, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle or a new energy vehicle, and the application does not specifically limit the vehicle, and the vehicle comprises the above-mentioned center console, and the center console is provided with the storage box 200, and the center console comprises the body structure 100, the storage box 200 and the opening and closing assembly 300. The vehicle effectively solves the safety hazards of the traditional armrest box being easy to be touched by mistake and the seat side storage box 200 being inconvenient to operate by integrating the pullable storage box 200 in the center console and being provided with the linkage type opening and closing assembly 300. The storage box 200 is located in the core area of the driving vision, and the visibility and the operation convenience are improved.
