Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of automotive supplies, and more particularly to a vehicle storage box with a retractable combination warning label. Background Technology

[0002] Existing car storage boxes help drivers organize and store items, keeping their car trunks neat and tidy. Most plastic storage boxes are waterproof, protecting items from moisture. Using them not only makes your trunk tidier but also makes it easier to find the items you need, improving travel efficiency.

[0003] In addition, according to traffic regulations, cars are also required to carry warning signs, which are placed behind the car when the user makes an emergency stop on the road to warn vehicles behind and avoid rear-end collisions. These signs are generally required to be stored in the trunk of the car.

[0004] This invention combines the two items mentioned above, utilizing their respective characteristics to reduce the amount of vehicle tools or items to be carried, and to improve upon existing warning signs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a vehicle-mounted storage box with a retractable warning label. The technical solution of this invention is: a vehicle storage box with telescopic combined warning signs. The storage box includes a box body and combined warning signs. The box body contains at least three flat sidewalls of a certain thickness, each with a hollow interior. A sign insertion / exit gap is provided on the upper surface of each sidewall. A combined warning sign is placed within the cavity of each sidewall. The combined warning sign is triangular in shape, and a warning icon is provided on its outer surface. The combined warning sign is divided into N sections along the height direction from top to bottom, where N≥2. The first section is triangular, and the lower sections are progressively larger trapezoids. The second to Nth sections all have an open upper cavity structure to accommodate the previous section. The multi-section telescopic warning sign, when retracted, matches the height of the box body's sidewalls. When opened, the height of the warning sign is approximately 3-4 times the height of the box body's sidewalls. Thus, multiple warning signs are combined to form a slender conical cylinder, similar in proportion to existing warning sign cylinders, facilitating observation and acceptance.

[0006] Preferably, the combined warning sign is shaped like an isosceles triangle, with the first section being an isosceles triangle and the lower sections being progressively larger isosceles trapezoids. The N sections have equal heights, matching the height of the internal cavity of the flat sidewall. Each combined warning sign has the same shape, so three or more combined warning signs together form a regular polygonal pyramid, with a shape closer to existing warning sign cylinders.

[0007] Preferably, a vertical guide strip and guide groove are provided between the inner surface of the upper plate and the inner surface of the cavity of the lower plate, with the guide strip parallel to the centerline of the plate. This guide structure controls the movement of the plates along the centerline when they are pulled apart, preventing them from moving erratically within the cavity.

[0008] Preferably, the two ends of the access gap of the flat sidewall are provided with inward positioning steps, and the two bottom edges of the Nth section plate have laterally extending positioning clips; the inner surface of the Nth section plate and the cavity surface of the flat sidewall are provided with matching guide strips and guide grooves. The bottom edges of the upper section plate have laterally extending positioning clips, and the two ends of the upper opening of the cavity of the 2nd-Nth sections plate are provided with inward positioning steps. The positioning clips and positioning steps work together to achieve positioning after being pulled out, preventing adjacent sections of the plate from being pulled apart.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the first section of the plate is provided with a tie or Velcro strap, and corresponding ties or Velcro straps are provided near the access gap on the flat side panel. These are used to secure the plate after opening and maintain the shape of the cone.

[0010] Preferably, the box is a triangular prism box, and the combined warning signs are three corresponding signs.

[0011] Preferably, the box is a quadrangular prism box, and the combined warning signs are four corresponding signs.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom surface of the cavity in the side wall of the housing is provided with a downward-through ventilation hole. This allows rainwater to drain away promptly during rainy weather, while also creating a ventilation channel. It also allows the housing to dry quickly, preventing moisture buildup and mold growth.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom surface of the enclosure is provided with several support legs, the sides of which have a hollow structure, and lights are installed inside the support legs. The support legs can prevent wear and tear caused by friction between the bottom of the enclosure and the ground, and the lights are used at night or in situations with poor visibility, serving both as illumination and warning.

[0014] Preferably, clamping protrusions A are provided on both sides of the inner surface of the cavity of the box sidewall, and clamping protrusions B are provided on both sides of the inner surface of the cavity of the 2nd-Nth section plate. Both clamping protrusions A and B act on the inner surface of the plate. The clamping protrusions are used for fixing after being pulled out and for fixing after being inserted and stacked, so that the combined telescopic warning sign can only be extended and retracted by human operation, avoiding problems caused by its arbitrary extension and retraction.

[0015] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are: A car storage box with retractable combination warning signs includes a box body and combination warning signs. The box body has at least three flat sidewalls of a certain thickness, each with an internal cavity. Each sidewall has a slit for the sign on its upper surface, and a retractable combination warning sign is installed within the cavity of each sidewall. When used as a storage box, the retractable combination warning signs retract section by section and are then stored entirely within the cavities of the sidewalls. Items can be placed inside the box, which can be placed in the trunk or inside the car. When the car stops due to a situation, the retractable combination warning signs are extended section by section, and the upper ends are secured together with straps or Velcro, forming a pyramidal warning sign cylinder at the top of the box, which can be used for warnings from multiple sides.

[0016] Furthermore, the items inside the lower part of the box serve as counterweight for the warning sign, preventing it from being blown away by the wind and improving its stability during use. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Example 1: See Figure 1-14The image shows a vehicle storage box with telescopic combined warning signs. The box includes a box body 1 and combined warning signs 2. The box body 1 has at least three flat sidewalls of a certain thickness, each with a hollow interior. Each sidewall has a slit for the sign at its upper end. The combined warning signs 2 are housed within the cavities of each sidewall. The combined warning signs 2 are triangular in shape, with warning icons on their outer surface. The combined warning signs 2 are divided into three sections along their height from top to bottom. The first section is triangular, with the lower sections progressively increasing in size as trapezoids. The second and third sections each have an open upper cavity structure to accommodate the upper section. This multi-section telescopic structure allows the warning signs to retract to match the height of the sidewalls of the box body 1. When extended, the height of the warning signs is approximately three times the height of the sidewalls of the box body 1. This arrangement of multiple warning signs forms a slender, conical cylinder, similar in proportion to existing warning sign cylinders, making it easier for people to observe and understand.

[0019] The combined warning sign 2 is generally in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The first section 22 is an isosceles triangle, and the lower section is an isosceles trapezoid that gradually expands. The three sections are of equal height and match the height of the internal cavity of the flat sidewall. Each combined warning sign 2 has the same shape, and the four combined warning signs 2 together form a regular polygonal pyramid, which is closer in shape to the existing warning sign cylinder.

[0020] A vertical guide strip and guide groove are provided between the inner surface of the upper plate and the inner surface of the cavity of the lower plate. The guide strip is parallel to the center line of the plate. The guide structure controls the movement of the plates along the center line when they are pulled apart, preventing the plates from moving randomly within the cavity.

[0021] The flat sidewall has inwardly pointing positioning steps 12 at both ends of the access gap. Positioning clips extend laterally from both sides of the two bottom edges of the third section plate 24. Matching guide strips and guide grooves are provided between the inner surface of the third section plate 24 and the cavity surface of the flat sidewall. Positioning clips extend laterally from both sides of the bottom edge of the upper section plate, and inwardly pointing positioning steps 12 are provided at both ends of the upper opening of the cavity of the second-third section plate. The positioning clips and positioning steps 12 work together to achieve positioning after being pulled out, preventing adjacent sections of the plate from being pulled apart.

[0022] The top of the first section 22 is provided with a tie or Velcro 21, and corresponding ties or Velcro fasteners are provided near the access gap on the flat side panel. These are used to secure the panel after it is opened and to maintain the shape of the cone.

[0023] The box 1 is a quadrangular prism box 1, and the combined warning signs 2 are four corresponding signs.

[0024] The cavity in the side wall of the box 1 and the cavity inside the plate can be configured to be an interference fit in terms of size. The clamping force is formed by the elastic deformation of the material itself, so as to prevent the plate and the cavity from moving randomly.

[0025] Work process: ① The state of being stored away; see also Figure 14 Insert each section of the combined warning sign 2 downwards and fold it up, finally inserting them all into the cavity on the side wall of the box 1. At this time, the box 1 can be used as a vehicle storage box, with some items placed inside.

[0026] ② Activate warning sign: When encountering an emergency on the road and needing to use a warning sign, first move box 1 to a certain distance behind the vehicle and place it on the ground. See [link / reference]. Figure 1-3 By pulling the combined warning sign 2 upwards, and then gradually pulling each section out from the bottom section, a triangular combined warning sign 2 is formed. The connecting straps or Velcro 21 at the top of the four combined warning signs 2 are connected together to form a cone shape, which can remind vehicles behind to avoid the accident in time.

[0027] Example 2: See Figure 15-16 The following changes were made based on Example 1.

[0028] The cavity bottom surface of the side wall of the box 1 is provided with a downward-through ventilation hole. When used in rainy weather, it can drain rainwater in time and form a ventilation channel. After being put away, it can also be dried in time to avoid the accumulation of moisture and the formation of mold.

[0029] The bottom surface of the box 1 is provided with several support legs 14. The sides of the support legs 14 are hollowed out, and lights 15 are installed inside the support legs 14. The support legs 14 can avoid wear and tear caused by friction between the bottom of the box and the ground. The lights 15 are used at night or when visibility is poor, serving both as lighting and warning.

[0030] Example 3: See Figure 16-17 Based on Example 1, the following changes were made.

[0031] The inner surface of the cavity on the side wall of the box body 1 is provided with clamping protrusions A16 on both sides, and the inner surface of the cavity inside the second-Nth section of the plate is provided with clamping protrusions B on both sides. Both clamping protrusions A16 and B act on the inner surface of the plate. The clamping protrusions are used for fixing after being pulled out and after being inserted and stacked, so that the combined telescopic warning sign can only be extended and retracted by human operation, avoiding problems caused by its arbitrary extension and retraction.

[0032] Example 4: See Figure 18-19Example 4 is basically the same as Example 1, except that the box 1 in Example 4 is a triangular prism box 1, and the combined warning signs 2 are three corresponding signs that, when opened, form a triangular pyramid shape. The working process is the same as in Example 1, and will not be described again.

[0033] The box 1 described in Embodiments 1 to 3 above can also have five or six sides. No further drawings are needed. For the structure and working process, please refer to Embodiments 1 and 2.
