[0021] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 and Figure 6-7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a door map pocket structure, including a door panel body 1 with a receiving groove 11 and a map pocket cover 2 installed on one side of the door panel body 1 and capable of covering the receiving groove 11.

[0023] The map bag cover 2 includes an inner cover plate 21 and an outer cover plate 22 connected to the inner cover plate 21.

[0024] The inner plate 21 of the cover is slidably connected to a cup holder partition 23. One end of the cup holder partition 23 is connected to the inner plate 21 of the cover through a first elastic member 24. The cup holder partition 23 extends into the receiving groove 11 and divides the receiving groove 11 into two parts. The cup holder partition 23 can move back and forth within the receiving groove 11 for adjustment.

[0025] The lower end of the outer cover plate 22 is pivotally connected to the door panel body 1, and the map pocket cover plate 2 can swing open and close relative to the door panel body 1.

[0026] The map pocket structure provided by this invention is a component of an automobile door. This map pocket structure includes a door panel body 1 and a map pocket cover 2. The door panel body 1 is part of the interior door panel, and the map pocket cover 2 is installed on the inner side of the door panel body 1. Here, "inner and outer direction" refers to the direction from the outer side of the door to the inner side. The inner side of the door panel body 1 has a receiving groove 11, which gradually widens from bottom to top. The receiving groove 11 forms a storage space for placing items, such as water cups, umbrellas, etc.

[0027] The map pocket cover 2 is installed on the inside of the door panel body 1 and can block the inner opening of the receiving groove 11, so as to serve as the wall of the receiving groove 11.

[0028] The map bag cover 2 includes an inner cover plate 21 and an outer cover plate 22. The outer cover plate 22 is connected to the inner cover plate 21, and the two can move together as one.

[0029] The inner and outer sides referred to here mean that, with the receiving groove 11 as the reference, the inner cover plate 21 is located on the side closer to the receiving groove 11, and the outer cover plate 22 is located on the side opposite to the receiving groove 11. If defined by the direction of inside and outside the vehicle, the door panel body 1, the receiving groove 11, the inner cover plate 21 and the outer cover plate 22 are arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside.

[0030] The inner plate 21 of the cover is connected to a cup holder partition 23, which extends into the receiving groove 11 to divide the receiving groove 11 into two. The cup holder partition 23 is slidably connected to the inner plate 21 of the cover, allowing the cup holder partition 23 to move back and forth within the receiving groove 11 for adjustment. One end (front or rear end) of the cup holder partition 23 is connected to the inner plate 21 of the cover via a first elastic element 24, which can be a spring. The first elastic element 24 provides a certain pulling or pushing force to the cup holder partition 23, keeping it in a position close to one end in the front-back direction within the receiving groove 11. For ease of description, the end of the cup holder partition 23 close to the receiving groove 11 is referred to as the proximal end of the receiving groove 11.

[0031] When a relatively small item needs to be placed in the cup holder, the cup holder divider 23 can be pulled or pushed towards the far end of the receiving slot 11 to place the small item between the cup holder divider 23 and the near end of the receiving slot 11. After the small item is placed, under the action of the first elastic member 24, the cup holder divider 23 automatically moves towards the near end of the receiving slot 11 to clamp the item. This prevents the item from shaking and making noise, and also prevents the item from jumping out of the receiving slot 11, improving product performance and user experience, and also contributing to driving safety.

[0032] In this invention, the lower end of the outer cover plate 22 is pivotally connected to the door panel body 1, for example, via a damping hinge, or via other rotating mechanisms. The map pocket cover 2 can swing open and close relative to the door panel body 1. Figure 7 As shown, when the map bag cover 2 is in the position shown in 2-1, the map bag cover 2 is in the closed state, also known as the initial state; when the map bag cover 2 is in the position shown in 2-2, the map bag cover 2 is in the open state.

[0033] Users can swing the outer cover 22 to open the map bag cover 2. When the map bag cover 2 is opened, the inner cover 21 and the cup holder partition 23 will swing together.

[0034] When a relatively large item needs to be placed in the storage slot 11, the user swings the outer cover 22 outward to open the map bag cover 2, increasing the storage space of the storage slot 11, thus allowing for the placement of relatively large items and further improving the product's performance and the user's experience.

[0035] In summary, the car door map pocket structure, car door structure, and automobile provided by the present invention have a cup holder partition 23 that can move and adjust back and forth within the receiving slot 11 and can hold relatively small items. The map pocket cover 2 can swing open relative to the door panel body 1 and can be used to place relatively large items, thus improving the user experience.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-3 and Figure 6 As shown, the cup holder divider 23 includes a slide plate 232 and a divider plate 231 connected to the slide plate 232.

[0037] The inner plate 21 of the cover plate is provided with an inner plate opening 211 for the partition plate 231 to pass through and slide, and the area of ​​the sliding plate 232 is larger than the area of ​​the inner plate opening 211.

[0038] The slide plate 232 is slidably disposed on the side of the inner plate 21 of the cover plate facing the outer plate 22 of the cover plate, and one end of the slide plate 232 is connected to the inner plate 21 of the cover plate through the first elastic member 24.

[0039] The partition plate 231 passes through the inner plate opening 211 and extends into the receiving groove 11.

[0040] In this embodiment, the cup holder divider 23 includes a sliding plate 232 and a divider plate 231, which are connected in a T-shape. The inner plate 21 of the cover has an inner plate opening 211 for the divider plate 231 to pass through and slide.

[0041] The area of ​​the sliding plate 232 is larger than the area of ​​the inner plate opening 211. The sliding plate 232 is slidably mounted on the side of the inner plate 21 of the cover plate opposite to the receiving groove 11. The first elastic member 24 is located on the back side of the inner plate 21 of the cover plate and is connected between the sliding plate 232 and the inner plate 21 of the cover plate. This arrangement allows the front side of the inner plate 21 of the cover plate to remain smooth, does not occupy additional space in the receiving groove 11, and facilitates the movement of items in the receiving groove 11.

[0042] The partition plate 231 passes through the inner plate opening 211 and extends into the receiving groove 11. The inner plate opening 211 extends in the front-back direction, and the partition plate 231 can slide in the front-back direction within the inner plate opening 211.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-5 As shown, a linear guide rail 233 is provided at one end of the slide plate 232 opposite to the first elastic member 24.

[0044] The inner plate 21 of the cover plate is provided with a linear guide groove 212 for cooperating with the linear guide rail 233. The linear guide groove 212 is located on the side of the inner plate 21 facing the outer plate 22 of the cover plate, and the linear guide groove 212 is arranged opposite to the first elastic member 24.

[0045] The linear guide 233 is slidably fitted into the linear guide groove 212.

[0046] In this embodiment, the stability of the sliding plate 232 can be guided by the cooperation of the linear guide rail 233 and the linear guide groove 212.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer cover plate 22 and the inner cover plate 21 are connected by a snap fastener 27, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the outer cover plate 22 and the inner cover plate 21.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the lower end of the outer cover plate 22 is connected to the door guard plate body 1 via a pivot shaft 25.

[0049] A second elastic element 26 is connected between the outer cover plate 22 and the door panel body 1, which is used to pull the map bag cover plate 2 toward the door panel body 1 to close.

[0050] In this embodiment, the pivoting structure of the outer cover plate 22 adopts a pivot shaft 25, which is installed at the lower end of the outer cover plate 22. Both ends of the pivot shaft 25 are connected to the door panel body 1. One connection method is that both ends of the pivot shaft 25 are fixedly connected to the door panel body 1, and the lower end of the outer cover plate 22 is fitted onto the pivot shaft 25 and can rotate around the pivot shaft 25. Another connection method is that both ends of the pivot shaft 25 are rotatably connected to the door panel body 1, and the lower end of the outer cover plate 22 is fixedly fitted onto the pivot shaft 25, allowing the outer cover plate 22 and the pivot shaft 25 to rotate integrally.

[0051] The second elastic element 26 is connected between the outer cover plate 22 and the door guard plate body 1, and is used to pull the map bag cover plate 2 toward the door guard plate body 1 to close.

[0052] The second elastic element 26 can be a spring. Hooks can be provided on the outer cover plate 22 and the door guard plate body 1 respectively to hook the two ends of the second elastic element 26.

[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are two second elastic members 26 connected between the outer cover plate 22 and the door guard plate body 1. The two second elastic members 26 are connected between the front and rear ends of the outer cover plate 22 and the door guard plate body 1, which helps to improve the stability when the map bag cover 2 is pulled closed, and can also tighten the map bag cover 2 in the closed position.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8-9As shown, the outer plate 22 of the cover plate has outer plate flanges 221 extending toward the receiving groove 11 at both the front and rear ends. When the map bag cover plate 2 is in the closed state, the outer plate flanges 221 are in the receiving groove 11 and are attached to the groove wall of the receiving groove 11.

[0055] When the user opens the map bag cover 2, the outer panel flange 221 gradually moves to the outside of the receiving groove 11, but still blocks both ends of the receiving groove 11, thus preventing items from falling through the gap between the two ends of the cover outer panel 22 and the door guard plate body 1.

[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the groove wall of the receiving groove 11 is provided with a limiting pin 12. The outer plate flange 221 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting hole 222, through which the limiting pin 12 passes.

[0057] In this embodiment, a limiting pin 12 is provided on the front and / or rear wall of the receiving groove 11, extending towards the inside of the receiving groove 11. An arc-shaped limiting hole 222 is provided on the outer flange 221 of the front and / or rear side. The arc-shaped limiting hole 222 extends in the inward and outward directions, and the diameter of the limiting pin 12 is smaller than the width of the arc-shaped limiting hole 222 in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the limiting pin 12 is inserted into the arc-shaped limiting hole 222, the arc-shaped limiting hole 222 can swing inward and outward relative to the limiting pin 12. When the map bag cover 2 is closed, the limiting pin 12 contacts one end of the arc-shaped limiting hole 222; when the map bag cover 2 is opened to the maximum angle, the limiting pin 12 contacts the other end of the arc-shaped limiting hole 222. Through the cooperation of the limiting pin 12 and the arc-shaped limiting hole 222, the maximum angle when the map bag cover 2 is opened can be limited.

[0058] An embodiment of the present invention provides a car door structure, including the car door map pocket structure described in any of the preceding embodiments. The car door map pocket structure is a component of the car door structure and is generally located in the bottom area of ​​the inner side of the car door structure.

[0059] An embodiment of the present invention provides a car including the door structure described in the foregoing embodiments, wherein the door structure may be the front or rear doors of the car.

[0060] As needed, the above technical solutions can be combined to achieve the best technical effect.

[0061] The above are merely the principles and preferred embodiments of the present invention.
