[0002] This application claims priority and interest in Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0078312, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on June 17, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to a compartment for a mobile body and a mobile body including the compartment. Background Technology

[0004] Various types of mobile vehicles can replace human labor. For example, with the development of the express delivery industry, mobile vehicles can transport food, goods, and other items unmanned.

[0005] In some cases, the mobile body can be configured by connecting a compartment (which is configured to store food, goods, etc.) and a moving part (which is attached to the compartment and configured to move the compartment). In some cases, the compartment is configured such that a lid (configured to close an opening for loading and unloading food, goods, etc.) rotates about an axis to open or close the opening.

[0006] For example, the compartment may have a cylindrical body. In this case, the cover may be part of the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder. In this case, the cover and the body have a predetermined step difference, allowing the cover to open or close smoothly. In some cases, the step difference may introduce foreign objects, hindering the operation of the cover or leaving residue in the interior space.

[0007] In some cases, the compartment may include a cover that performs linear and rotational movements to eliminate step differences. In some cases, multiple devices for operating the cover may be provided, which may increase the weight and unit price of the mobile body. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This disclosure relates to a compartment for a mobile body and a mobile body including the compartment, the compartment being able to eliminate the step difference between the cover and the body using a single operating member.

[0009] According to one aspect of the subject matter described herein, a cabin for a mobile body includes a main body formed with (i) an opening that opens in a first direction and (ii) an internal space that is in fluid communication with the opening; a cover configured to open and close at least a portion of the opening; and a cover moving portion disposed in the internal space of the main body and coupled to the cover, the cover moving portion configured for at least one of linearly moving the cover and rotating the cover. The cover moving portion includes (i) an operation member including an operation rotation axis extending in an axial direction that crosses the first direction, the operation member being disposed in the main body and configured to rotate about the operation rotation axis, and (ii) a connection member that connects the operation member and the cover to each other and is configured to transmit a power generated by the operation member to the cover. The connection member includes a first connection piece connected to the operation member and configured to rotate about the operation rotation axis, and a second connection piece connecting the first connection piece and the cover, the second connection piece having (i) a first end portion rotatably connected to the first connection piece and (ii) a second end portion rotatably connected to the cover, wherein the second connection piece is configured to be stretchable and contractible to increase and decrease a distance between the first end portion and the second end portion of the second connection piece.

[0010] Implementations according to this aspect can include one or more of the following features. For example, the second connection piece can include a first region rotatably connected to the first connection piece and forming the first end portion of the second connection piece, a second region rotatably connected to the cover and forming the second end portion of the second connection piece, and an elastic member disposed between the first region and the second region. The elastic member can be configured to form a maximum separation distance between the first region and the second region by stretching to a stretched state, and to form a distance smaller than the maximum separation distance between the first region and the second region by contracting to a contracted state, wherein the elastic member is configured to exert a restoring force pushing the first region and the second region away from each other in the contracted state.

[0011] In some implementations, the second connection piece can extend in a connection direction in which the first region and the second region face each other, wherein the second connection piece further includes a stretch / contraction guide connecting the first region and the second region in the connection direction and configured to guide movement of the elastic member in the connection direction. In some examples, the elastic member has a shape of a coil spring having a hollow portion extending in the connection direction, wherein the stretch / contraction guide penetrates the hollow portion of the elastic member.

[0012] In some implementations, the elastic member can be one of a plurality of elastic members disposed between the first region and the second region, wherein the stretch / contraction guide is one of a plurality of stretch / contraction guides respectively disposed in the plurality of elastic members, and a number of the plurality of elastic members is equal to a number of the plurality of stretch / contraction guides.

[0013] In some embodiments, the second connector may form an insertion groove in a first region, the insertion groove extending in the connection direction and configured to receive a portion of a tension / contraction guide inserted into the insertion groove, wherein the tension / contraction guide includes: a post portion surrounded by an elastic member; and a protrusion disposed at an end of the post portion in the first region and inserted into the insertion groove, the protrusion projecting from the post portion in a direction intersecting the connection direction. The first region may include an engaging portion projecting from a wall surrounding the insertion groove toward the center of the insertion groove, the engaging portion being configured to engage with the protrusion in the insertion groove. In some examples, the ends of the protrusion and the ends of the engaging portion face each other in the connection direction and are configured to: contact each other by the elastic member being in a stretched state and separate each other by the elastic member being in a contracted state.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first connector and the second connector may be configured to form an obtuse angle between the following two straight lines: (i) a first straight line extending radially from the operating rotation axis to a first rotation center located at the end of the first connector connected to a first end of the second connector; and (ii) a second straight line extending from the first rotation center of the first connector to a second rotation center of the second connector located at the second end of the second connector connected to the cover, wherein the size of the obtuse angle formed between the first and second straight lines in the contracted state of the elastic member is greater than or equal to the size of the obtuse angle formed between the first and second straight lines in the stretched state of the elastic member.

[0015] In some embodiments, the cover faces the operating rotation axis in the forward / reverse direction, wherein the forward / reverse direction is parallel to a first direction when the cover is in the closed state with the cover closed opening. The cover moving portion may include a forward / reverse moving member configured to move linearly relative to the body in the forward / reverse direction, the forward / reverse moving member having (i) a first side fixed to the cover and (ii) a second side rotatably connected to a second connector. In some examples, the forward / reverse moving member may include: a first forward / reverse moving portion fixed to the cover; and a second forward / reverse moving portion having one side fixed to the first forward / reverse moving portion and another side rotatably connected to the second connector, wherein the cover moving portion further includes a rotary moving member configured to rotate the forward / reverse moving member about the operating rotation axis by a predetermined rotation radius. The forward / reverse moving member may be formed with a guide hole that passes through the forward / reverse moving member in the axial direction of the operating rotation shaft and allows a second forward / reverse moving part to be inserted therein. The guide hole extends in the forward / reverse direction and is configured to guide the linear movement of the first forward / reverse moving part and the second forward / reverse moving part in the forward / reverse direction.

[0016] In some examples, the body may have a guide groove recessed to one side of the body in the axial direction of the operating rotation axis. The forward / reverse movement member further includes an insertion portion that inserts into the guide groove and protrudes to one side of the body relative to the first forward / reverse movement portion in the axial direction of the operating rotation axis. The rotational movement member is configured to rotate the forward / reverse movement member in the revolution direction. The guide groove may include a forward / reverse guide region extending in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a rotational guide region extending from the end of the forward / reverse guide region in the revolution direction.

[0017] In some embodiments, the guide groove may further include an intersecting region in which the forward / reverse guide region and the rotation guide region intersect each other, wherein the cover is configured to face the operating rotation axis in the forward / reverse inner direction, and the curvature of the end of the intersecting region in a second direction corresponds to the curvature of the inner side of the rotation guide region in the forward / reverse inner direction.

[0018] According to another aspect, the movable body includes a compartment; and a movable part connected to the compartment and configured to move the compartment. The compartment includes: a main body forming (i) an opening in a first direction and (ii) an internal space in fluid communication with the opening; a cover configured to open and close the opening; and a cover movable part disposed within the internal space of the main body and coupled to the cover, the cover movable part being configured for at least one operation of linearly moving the cover and rotating the cover. The cover movable part includes: an operating member including an operating rotation axis extending in an axial direction intersecting the first direction, the operating member being disposed in the main body and configured to rotate about the operating rotation axis; and a connecting member connecting the operating member and the cover to each other and configured to transmit power generated by the operating member to the cover. The connecting member includes: a first connector connected to the operating member and configured to rotate about an operating rotation axis, and a second connector connecting the first connector and the cover, the second connector having (i) a first end rotatably connected to the first connector and (ii) a second end rotatably connected to the cover, wherein the second connector is configured to be stretchable and retractable to increase and decrease the distance between the first end and the second end of the second connector.

[0019] Embodiments according to this aspect may include one or more of the following features as well as the features described above. For example, the moving part may include one or more wheels disposed under the compartment.

[0038] One or more embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. When assigning reference numerals to components in the corresponding drawings, the same components will be indicated by the same reference numerals, if possible, even when the components are shown in different drawings. Furthermore, in the following description of exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, detailed descriptions of well-known configurations or functions incorporated herein will be omitted when it is determined that a detailed description would obscure the subject matter of the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0039] In some embodiments, a compartment 10 may be provided for the mobile body. The compartment 10 for the mobile body may refer to a structure incorporated into the mobile body's movable portion 20 and configured to house items therein. The mobile body may refer to a structure capable of movement via a movable portion such as wheels or a propeller. Examples of mobile bodies may include a variety of examples, such as vehicles and drones.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the moving object. Figure 2 It is shown Figure 1 The diagram shows the situation where the cover is open.

[0041] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the movable body may include a compartment 10 and a moving part 20. The moving part 20 may be coupled to the compartment 10 and configured to move the compartment 10. For example, as Figure 1 As shown, the moving part 20 may include wheels 21. However, this configuration is provided for illustrative purposes only. Various modifications can be implemented within the scope of the movable compartment 10, such as unmanned aerial vehicles configured to move the compartment 10 by using propellers or the like.

[0042] Figure 3 This is a diagram showing the compartments used for the mobile body. Figure 4 It is shown Figure 3 The diagram shows the cover being opened. For reference and to illustrate operation, elements such as the shielding component 130 may be omitted from the following figures. Figure 5 Some components of ).

[0043] The compartment 10 may include a main body 100, a cover 200, and a cover moving part 300. The main body 100 may include an opening 110. The opening 110 can be opened along a predetermined first direction D1. Furthermore, the main body 100 may define an internal space 120 communicating with the opening 110. A user can place items in the internal space 120 through the opening 110. For example, the shape of the main body 100 may be part of a cylindrical shape. However, this disclosure is not limited to this. The main body 100 can be transformed into various shapes according to the user's needs. The first direction D1 can be understood as the direction from the internal space 120 through the opening 110 toward the main body 100.

[0044] The cover 200 can be configured to open or close the opening 110. In some examples, the cover 200 may have a shape corresponding to the opening 110. For example, the cover 200 may have a curved shape that is part of the outer circumferential surface of a cylinder.

[0045] The cover moving part 300 can be coupled to the cover 200 and configured to move the cover 200 (e.g., to move the cover 200 linearly or rotate it). Hereinafter, the state in which the cover 200 closes the opening 110 is referred to as the closed state, and the state in which the cover 200 opens the opening 110 is referred to as the open state. In the closed state, the cover 200 can form a continuous surface by contacting a portion of the opening 110 defining the body 100.

[0046] The following will describe the maneuver performed by the cover moving part 300 when its state changes from closed to open. This maneuver could be used to open the opening 110 to insert items or the like into the interior space 120.

[0047] The cover moving part 300 can perform a first action. The first action can be the action of moving the cover 200 into the interior space 120 in a second direction D2 opposite to the first direction D1. The first action can be understood as the action of retracting the cover 200 into the interior space 120 to rotate the cover 200.

[0048] The cover-moving part 300 can perform a second action. This second action can be a rotation of the cover 200 in a third direction D3 following the first action. The third direction D3 can be a direction in which the cover 200 rotates about an imaginary axis spaced apart from the cover 200 in the second direction D2. In the following text, the direction opposite to the third direction D3 is referred to as the fourth direction D4, and the direction of extension of the axis is referred to as the fifth direction D5. For example, the fifth direction D5 can be a downward direction. Figure 5 This is a diagram showing the compartments used for the moving body when viewed from the fifth direction.

[0049] The following will describe the action performed by the cover moving part 300 when the state changes from open to closed. The action could be the case where the opening 110 is closed after the item is fully inserted into the interior space 120.

[0050] The cover-moving part 300 can perform a third action. The third action can be the action of rotating the cover 200 in the fourth direction D4. The third action can be understood as a process opposite to the second action.

[0051] The cover moving part 300 can perform a fourth action. The fourth action can be an action that moves the cover 200 in the first direction D1 after the third action. The fourth action can be understood as an action that moves the cover 200 forward to close the opening 110.

[0052] The specific shape of the cover moving part 300 will be described in detail below.

[0053] Figure 6 This is a diagram showing the cover moving part in the closed state when viewed from the fifth direction with the shielding component removed. Figure 7 This is a diagram showing the movable part of the cover in the closed state. Figure 8 This is a diagram showing the movable part of the cover in a closed state when viewed from another direction.

[0054] The cover moving part 300 may include a forward / backward moving member 310. The forward / backward moving member 310 may be a member configured to guide the cover 200 so that the cover 200 moves in a first direction D1 and a second direction D2. For example, the forward / backward moving member 310 may be a member that participates in performing the first action and the fourth action.

[0055] In some embodiments, one side of the forward / reverse moving member 310 may be fixed to the cover 200, while the other side of the forward / reverse moving member 310 may be rotatably connected to the second connector 342. The forward / reverse moving member 310 may move linearly relative to the body 100 in a forward / reverse direction. The forward / reverse direction may refer to the direction in which the cover 200 and the operating rotation axis 331 face each other. The forward / reverse moving member 310 may include a first forward / reverse moving part 311, a second forward / reverse moving part 312, and a third forward / reverse moving part 313.

[0056] The first forward / backward moving part 311 can be fixed to the cover 200. For example, the first forward / backward moving part 311 can be the part of the forward / backward moving member 310 that is attached to the second direction D2 side of the cover 200.

[0057] The second forward / reverse moving part 312 may be a portion that protrudes from the first forward / reverse moving part 311 in the fifth direction D5. One side of the second forward / reverse moving part 312 may be fixed to the first forward / reverse moving part 311, while the other side of the second forward / reverse moving part 312 may be rotatably connected to the second connector 342.

[0058] A guide hole 314 may be formed in the third forward / reverse moving part 313. The guide hole 314 may be formed by passing through the third forward / reverse moving part 313 in the extending direction of the operating rotation shaft 331. The guide hole 314 may extend in the forward / reverse direction. For example, based on the closed state, the forward / reverse direction may be parallel to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.

[0059] That is, the guide hole 314 can have a shape extending in the second direction D2 based on the closed state, and is configured to be inserted into the second forward / reverse moving part 312. Since the second forward / reverse moving part 312, protruding from the first forward / reverse moving part 311 that is coupled with the cover 200, is inserted into the guide hole 314 having a shape extending in the second direction D2, the cover 200 can be guided so that the cover 200 moves in the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. In other words, the guide hole 314 can guide the linear movement of the first forward / reverse moving part 311 and the second forward / reverse moving part 312 in the forward / reverse direction. The guide hole 314 can be connected to the rotary moving member 320, which will be described below.

[0060] In some examples, the forward / reverse movement member 310 may also include an insertion portion 315. The insertion portion 315 may be coupled to the side of the first forward / reverse movement member 311 opposite to the fifth direction D5. For example, the insertion portion 315 may extend from the second forward / reverse movement member 312 toward the direction of the operating rotation axis (e.g., opposite to the fifth direction D5). The insertion portion 315 may penetrate the first forward / reverse movement member 311 and be positioned on the side opposite to the fifth direction D5 than the first forward / reverse movement member 311. That is, the insertion portion 315 may have a shape that protrudes relative to the first forward / reverse movement member 311 in the direction opposite to the fifth direction D5.

[0061] The insertion unit 315 may be configured to guide a second action so that the second action can be performed after the first action is performed, and to guide a fourth action so that the fourth action can be performed after the third action is performed.

[0062] An insertion portion 315 can be disposed in a guide groove 160, which is defined by a guide portion 150 protruding in the fifth direction D5 from a surface of the body 100 in the direction opposite to the fifth direction D5. The guide groove 160 may include a forward / backward guide region 161 extending in the second direction D2, and a rotation guide region 162 extending in the third direction D3 from the end of the forward / backward guide region 161 in the second direction D2. For example, the shape of the guide groove 160 may resemble the shape of the upper portion of a question mark.

[0063] For example, the insertion portion 315 may include a bearing. The bearing may be configured to rotate about a bearing axis extending in the fifth direction D5 and to contact the guide portion 150. The use of the bearing allows the cover 200 to move more smoothly. For example, the bearing may be located on the side of the second forward / reverse moving portion 312 opposite to the fifth direction D5.

[0064] In some embodiments, the cover moving part 300 may further include an operating member 330 and a connecting member 340. The operating member 330 may have a rotation axis 331 extending in the fifth direction D5. The rotation axis 331 of the operating member 330 may be referred to as the "operating rotation axis 331". The operating member 330 can rotate the rotation axis 331 in the third direction D3 and the fourth direction D4. For example, the operating member 330 may be an electric motor. The operating member 330 may be rotatably mounted in the central part of the main body 100.

[0065] The connecting member 340 can connect the operating member 330 and the forward / backward moving member 310. For example, the connecting member 340 can connect the rotation shaft 331 of the operating member 330 and the second forward / backward moving part 312 of the forward / backward moving member 310. Since the operating member 330 and the forward / backward moving member 310 are interconnected, when the operating member 330 rotates the rotation shaft 331, the cover 200 can be moved forward or backward by the forward / backward moving member 310. The connecting member 340 can transmit the power generated by the operating member 330 to the cover 200. For example, the power generated by the operating member 330 can be transmitted sequentially to the connecting member 340, the forward / backward moving member 310, and the cover 200.

[0066] The connecting member 340 may include a first connecting member 341 and a second connecting member 342. The first connecting member 341 may be a portion configured to rotate with the rotation axis 331. The first connecting member 341 may be fixed to the operating member 330 and rotate together with the operating member 330.

[0067] The second connector 342 can be rotatably coupled to the end of the first connector 341 and rotatably coupled to the second forward / reverse moving part 312. The length of the first connector 341 can be greater than the length of the second connector 342.

[0068] In some examples, the structure connecting the operating member 330, the connecting member 340, and the forward / reverse movement member 310 can resemble a slider-crank structure. In this case, the first connecting member 341 can act as a crank, while the second connecting member 342 can act as a connecting rod.

[0069] Since the forward / backward moving member 310 can move forward or backward by rotating the rotation axis 331 of the operating member 330, it is not necessary to provide a structure such as a linear motor for forward / backward movement, which simplifies the structure and reduces weight and cost.

[0070] In some embodiments, the cover moving part 300 may include a rotational moving member 320. The rotational moving member 320 may be a member configured to guide the cover 200 such that the cover 200 rotates in a third direction D3 and a fourth direction D4. For example, the rotational moving member 320 may be a member involved in performing a second action and a third action.

[0071] The cover-moving part 300 may also include a track member 350. The track member 350 may protrude from the main body 100 and extend in a third direction D3. The rotating moving member 320 may be seated on the track member 350. In this case, seating can be understood as the configuration in which the rotating moving member is accommodated in the track member by gravity, and the state in which the rotating moving member is movably engaged with the track member. When the rotating moving member 320 seated on the track member 350 moves in the third direction D3, a second action is performed. Furthermore, when the rotating moving member 320 seated on the track member 350 moves in the fourth direction D4, a third action is performed.

[0072] In the following text, the outer radius of the imaginary circle having a shape corresponding to the track member 350 will be referred to as the radial outer side. The first forward / reverse moving part 311 may be provided on the radial outer side of the track member 350. In addition, the guide part 150 may be provided on the radial outer side of the track member 350.

[0073] The third forward / reverse moving part 313 can be integrated with the rotary moving member 320. For example, the rotary moving member 320 can be configured to move together with the forward / reverse moving member 310 when the forward / reverse moving member 310 moves. When viewed in the fifth direction D5, the guide hole 314 and the track member 350 can partially overlap each other.

[0074] The movement of cover 200 will be described in detail below with reference to the above structure and accompanying drawings. Figure 9 It is shown Figure 6 A diagram showing the state where the first action has been performed. Figure 10 It is shown Figure 7 A diagram showing the state where the first action has been performed. Figure 11 It is shown Figure 9 The diagram shows the state where the second action has been performed. Figure 12 It is shown Figure 10 The diagram shows the state where the second action has been performed.

[0075] The first action will be described. The first action can be understood as starting from... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The state in becomes Figure 9 and Figure 10 The state in.

[0076] When the operating member 330 is activated, its rotation axis 331 rotates in the third direction D3. During this process, the first connecting member 341 rotates in the third direction D3, while the second connecting member 342 moves the second forward / backward moving part 312 in the second direction D2 via the connection between the guide hole 314 and the second forward / backward moving part 312. During this process, the forward / backward moving member 310 is not allowed to move in the third direction D3 due to the insertion part 315 and the forward / backward guiding area 161. Therefore, the cover 200 can only move in the second direction D2.

[0077] In some examples, as the cover 200 moves in the second direction D2, the insertion portion 315 leaves the forward / backward guide region 161 and enters the rotation guide region 162. Furthermore, after the second connector 342 and the guide hole 314 are orthogonally configured, the movement of the second forward / backward moving portion 312 in the second direction D2 is limited by the first connector 341, which is about to move in the third direction D3. Therefore, considering the fourth action, it can be designed such that when the angle between the second connector 342 and the guide hole 314 gradually increases and then reaches a predetermined reference angle of less than 90 degrees, the insertion portion 315 leaves the forward / backward guide region 161 and enters the rotation guide region 162.

[0078] In some examples, the distance that the insertion part 315 moves until it leaves the forward / backward guide area 161 and enters the rotation guide area 162 can correspond to the distance that the second forward / backward moving part 312 moves until the angle between the second connector 342 and the guide hole 314 reaches a predetermined reference angle.

[0079] The second action will be introduced. The second action can be understood as... Figure 9 and Figure 10The state in becomes Figure 11 and Figure 12 The state in.

[0080] In some examples, a second action can be performed based on the completion of the first action. At this time, a rotational force is applied to the second forward / backward moving part 312 in the third direction D3, and because the insertion part 315 has entered the rotation guide area 162, the second forward / backward moving part 312 is allowed to rotate in the third direction D3. Therefore, by applying a rotational force to the second forward / backward moving part 312 in the third direction D3, a force is applied to the forward / backward moving member 310, causing the forward / backward moving member 310 to move in the third direction D3. Since the rotational moving member 320 connected to the third forward / backward moving part 313 is seated on the track member 350 extending in the third direction D3, the forward / backward moving member 310 can rotate in the third direction D3. Therefore, the cover 200 connected to the first forward / backward moving part 311 also moves in the third direction D3. After the second action is completed through the above process, it becomes open, allowing the user to store items in the interior space 120.

[0081] In some implementations, forward / backward movement and rotational motion can both be accomplished by rotating the rotation axis 331 of a single operating member 330, which can simplify the structure and reduce weight and cost.

[0082] The third action can be understood as the reverse of the second action, and the fourth action can be understood as the reverse of the first action. After the third action is completed as described above, when the angle between the second connector 342 and the guide hole 314 is 90 degrees, the first connector 341 pushes against the second connector 342 in a direction orthogonal to the guide hole 314, preventing the smooth execution of the fourth action. Therefore, the reference angle can be less than 90 degrees. For example, when completing the third action, the angle between the second connector 342 and the guide hole 314 can be 90 degrees or less.

[0083] The following section will detail the components that can also be installed in compartment 10.

[0084] In some embodiments, the main body 100 may include a shielding component 130. Figure 5 The shielding member 130 can be disposed in the internal space 120, and can be disposed on the fifth direction D5 side of the cover moving part 300. When viewed from the fifth direction D5, the shielding member 130 can cover the cover moving part 300. That is, the cover moving part 300 can be understood as being disposed in the space between the shielding member 130 and the surface of the main body 100 in the direction opposite to the fifth direction D5.

[0085] The compartment 10 may also include a support member 140.Figure 7 The support member 140 may be a member that protrudes from a surface of the main body 100 in the fifth direction D5 and is configured to support the shielding member 130. The length of the support member 140 in the fifth direction D5 may be greater than the length of the cover moving part 300 in the fifth direction D5.

[0086] In some embodiments, compartment 10 may also include a camera unit 400. Figure 5 The camera unit 400 can be integrated with the fifth direction D5 side of the shielding member 130 and is configured to capture images of the interior space 120. Therefore, images of items placed in the interior space 120 can be captured.

[0087] Reference Figures 13 to 17 Another example of a compartment for a mobile body is described. The description of the compartment for a mobile body will focus on the differences from the embodiments described above.

[0088] Figure 13 This is a 3D view of the second connector. Figure 14 It is along Figure 13 The cross-sectional view of the second connector taken from line A-A' in the diagram. Figure 15 This is a diagram showing the cover moving part in the closed state of the compartment for the moving body when viewed from the fifth direction with the shielding parts removed. Figure 16 It is shown in Figure 15 The diagram shows the state where the first action has already been performed, and Figure 17 It is shown in Figure 16 The diagram shows the state where the second action has already been performed.

[0089] The compartment for a mobile body may include a main body 100, a cover 200, a cover moving part 300, and a camera part 400. The description of the cover 200, cover moving part 300, and camera part 400 in this other example can be replaced with the description of the cover 200, cover moving part 300, and camera part 400 above.

[0090] The main body 100 may include an opening 110, an interior space 120, a shielding member 130, a support member 140, a guide portion 150, and a guide groove 160. The description of the opening 110, interior space 120, shielding member 130, support member 140, and guide portion 150 in this other example may be replaced by the description of the opening 110, interior space 120, shielding member 130, support member 140, and guide portion 150 described above.

[0091] The guide groove 160 may be formed in the body 100 and has a shape that is recessed toward the direction of the operating rotation axis 331 (e.g., the direction opposite to the fifth direction D5). The insertion portion 315 may be inserted into the guide groove 160. The guide groove 160 may include a forward / backward guide region 161a and a rotation guide region 162.

[0092] refer to Figure 17 The forward / reverse guide region 161a can extend in the second direction D2. Furthermore, the rotation guide region 162 can extend from the end of the forward / reverse guide region 161a in the second direction D2 in the revolution direction. The revolution direction can refer to the direction in which the rotational moving member 320 causes the forward / reverse moving member 310 to rotate about the operating rotation axis 331.

[0093] The forward / reverse guide region 161a and the rotation guide region 162 may form an intersecting region. The intersecting region can be defined as the area where the forward / reverse guide region 161a and the rotation guide region 162 intersect each other. For example, the end of the intersecting region in the second direction D2 may be formed by the end of the forward / reverse guide region 161a in the second direction D2. Furthermore, the end of the intersecting region in the revolution direction (e.g., the fourth direction D4) may be formed by the end of the rotation guide region 162 in the revolution direction (e.g., the fourth direction D4).

[0094] The curvature of the end of the second direction D2 of the intersecting region can correspond to the curvature of the end of the forward / reverse inner direction of any region in the rotation guide region 162. The forward / reverse inner direction can refer to the direction of the cover 200 toward the operating rotation axis 331.

[0095] The description of the lid 200 in this other example can be replaced with the description of the lid 200 above.

[0096] The cover moving part 300 may include a forward / backward moving member 310, a rotational moving member 320, an operating member 330, and a connecting member 340.

[0097] In some embodiments, the forward / reverse moving member 310 may include a first forward / reverse moving part 311, a second forward / reverse moving part 312, a third forward / reverse moving part 313, and a guide hole 314. The description of the first forward / reverse moving part 311, the second forward / reverse moving part 312, the third forward / reverse moving part 313, and the guide hole 314 in this other example can be replaced with the description of the first forward / reverse moving part 311, the second forward / reverse moving part 312, the third forward / reverse moving part 313, and the guide hole 314 described above.

[0098] The description of the rotary moving member 320 and the operating member 330 in this other example can be replaced with the description of the rotary moving member 320 and the operating member 330 described above.

[0099] The connecting member 340 may include a first connector 341 and a second connector 342a. The description of the first connector 341 in this alternative example can be replaced with the description of the first connector 341 described above.

[0100] In some implementations, reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 The second connector 342a can be configured to be stretchable and retractable, such that the distance between its two opposite ends increases or decreases. The second connector 342a may include a first region 342-1, a second region 342-2, an elastic member 342-3, and a stretch / retractable guide 342-4.

[0101] The first region 342-1 may form an end (i.e., a first end) of the second connector 342a. For example, assuming that the first region 342-1 and the second region 342-2 face each other in a connection direction DL, the first region 342-1 may define one end of the second connector 342a in the connection direction DL. The connection direction DL may include a first connection direction and a second connection direction. The first connection direction may be defined as the direction from the second region 342-2 toward the first region 342-1. The second connection direction may be defined as the direction opposite to the first connection direction.

[0102] For example, the first region 342-1 may be rotatably connected to the second connector 342a. For example, the first region 342-1 may be configured to rotate about a first rotation center relative to the second connector 342a.

[0103] An insertion slot 342-1a may be formed in the first region 342-1. A portion of the stretch / contraction guide 342-4 may be inserted into the insertion slot 342-1a. The insertion slot 342-1a may extend in the first connection direction. Multiple insertion slots 342-1a may be provided. Multiple insertion slots 342-1a may be spaced apart from each other in a direction intersecting the connection direction DL. The first region 342-1 may include a first body 342-11 and a catching portion 342-12.

[0104] The first body 342-11 can form the appearance of the first region 342-1. A plurality of insertion slots 342-1a can be formed in the first body 342-11. The first body 342-11 may include a wall surrounding the insertion slots 342-1a.

[0105] The protrusions 342-42 described below can engage with the engaging portion 342-12. The engaging portion 342-12 can define the end of the insertion groove 342-1a in the second connection direction. The engaging portion 342-12 can have a shape that protrudes from the wall surrounding the insertion groove 342-1a to the center of the insertion groove 342-1a. The width of the inner peripheral surface of the engaging portion 342-12 in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction DL can be smaller than the width of the wall surface in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction DL. In other words, the width of the end of the insertion groove 342-1a in the second connection direction (hereinafter referred to as the "end region") in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction DL can be smaller than the width of the remaining region of the insertion groove 342-1a (hereinafter referred to as the "remaining region") in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction DL.

[0106] The second region 342-2 may form the other end (i.e., the second end) of the second connector 342a. For example, the second region 342-2 may form the other end of the second connector 342a in the connection direction DL. The other end of the second connector 342a in the connection direction DL may refer to the end opposite to one end of the second connector 342a in the connection direction DL.

[0107] The second region 342-2 may be rotatably connected to the cover 200. For example, the second region 342-2 may be rotatably connected to the second forward / backward moving part 312. In a detailed example, the second region 342-2 may be configured to rotate about a second rotation center relative to the second forward / backward moving part 312. For example, the length of the second region 342-2 in the connection direction DL may be less than the length of the first region 342-1 in the connection direction DL. However, this disclosure is not limited to this example. The length of the second region 342-2 in the connection direction DL may be equal to or greater than the length of the first region 342-1 in the connection direction DL.

[0108] The elastic member 342-3 can be disposed between the first region 342-1 and the second region 342-2 in the connection direction DL. For example, the first region 342-1 and the second region 342-2 can be configured to be spaced apart from each other in the connection direction DL, with the elastic member 342-3 between them.

[0109] The elastic member 342-3 can be configured into a stretched state where it is stretched to its maximum extent, or a contracted state where it has contracted from the stretched state. (Reference) Figure 16 Under the tension of the elastic member 342-3, the interval distance de between the first region 342-1 and the second region 342-2 can be the maximum interval distance.

[0110] In addition, refer to Figure 15Compared to the stretched state, the distance between the first region 342-1 and the second region 342-2 can be smaller when the elastic member 342-3 is in a contracted state.

[0111] In the contracted state, a restoring force can be applied to the elastic member 342-3 in a direction that keeps the first region 342-1 and the second region 342-2 away from each other. For example, the elastic member 342-3 may have a helical spring shape, having a hollow portion extending in the connection direction DL. For example, the elastic member 342-3 may be a compression helical spring. Multiple elastic members 342-3 may be provided.

[0112] refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 Assuming the imaginary straight line passing through the operating rotation axis 331 and the first rotation center is the first straight line L1, and the imaginary straight line passing through the first rotation center and the second rotation center is the second straight line L2, the angle formed between the first straight line L1 and the second straight line L2 in the contracted state of the elastic member 342-3 is the contraction angle a1, and the angle formed between the first straight line L1 and the second straight line L2 in the stretched state of the elastic member 342-3 is the stretching angle a2, then the contraction angle a1 can be equal to or greater than the stretching angle a2.

[0113] The stretch / contraction guide 342-4 can connect the first region 342-1 and the second region 342-2 in the connection direction DL. The stretch / contraction guide 342-4 can guide the stretching and contraction of the elastic member 342-3 in the connection direction DL. The stretch / contraction guide 342-4 can pass through the hollow portion and be inserted into the hollow portion of the elastic member 342-3. Multiple stretch / contraction guides 342-4 can be provided.

[0114] Multiple elastic members 342-3 can correspond one-to-one with multiple tension / contraction guides 342-4. For example, any one of the multiple tension / contraction guides 342-4 can be configured to be inserted into the hollow portion of any one of the multiple elastic members 342-3. The tension / contraction guide 342-4 may include a column portion 342-41 and a protrusion portion 342-42.

[0115] The column portion 342-41 may have a shape in which it is surrounded by the elastic member 342-3 in a stretched state. For example, the column portion 342-41 may have a column shape extending in the connection direction DL. The width of the column portion 342-41 in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction DL may be equal to or less than the width of the insertion groove 342-1a in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction DL. The protrusion 342-42 may be provided at the end of the column portion 342-41 in the first connection direction.

[0116] The protrusion 342-42 may have a shape that protrudes from the post portion 342-41 in a direction intersecting the connection direction DL. The protrusion 342-42 may be configured to insert into the remaining area of ​​the insertion groove 342-1a. Alternatively, the protrusion 342-42 may not be present in the end region of the insertion groove 342-1a. For example, the width of the protrusion 342-42 in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction DL may be greater than the width of the end region of the insertion groove 342-1a in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction DL. In a more detailed example, the width of the protrusion 342-42 in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction DL may be less than the width of the remaining area of ​​the insertion groove 342-1a in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction DL.

[0117] In the stretched state of the elastic member 342-3, the end of the protrusion 342-42 in the second connecting direction and the end of the engaging portion 342-12 in the first connecting direction can come into contact with each other. In other words, in the stretched state of the elastic member 342-3, the protrusion 342-42 can prevent the stretching / contraction guide 342-4 from separating from the insertion groove 342-1a.

[0118] Furthermore, in the contracted state of the elastic member 342-3, the end of the protrusion 342-42 in the second connecting direction and the end of the engaging part 342-12 in the first connecting direction can be spaced apart from each other.

[0119] The above description is provided merely to illustrate the technical concept of this disclosure, and those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains will understand that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the essential characteristics of this disclosure. Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the technical concept of this disclosure. The scope of the technical concept of this disclosure is not limited thereto. All technical ideas within the equivalent scope of the protection scope of this disclosure should be interpreted as falling within the scope of this disclosure.
