Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a storage device and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] The storage boxes on top of the dashboard in existing cars are usually open, which makes the interior look cluttered and unsightly. If the storage box is designed as a closed storage box with a flip-top, the problem of unsight can be avoided. However, due to the limited space inside the dashboard, which houses functional structural components such as air ducts, wiring harnesses, and pipe beams, it is difficult to install the flip-top. In addition, when the flip-top is open, it will obstruct the driver's forward view and affect driving safety. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to at least solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, such as the unsightly appearance of open storage boxes, the difficulty in arranging the flip-top of closed storage boxes, and the obstruction of the driver's view after the flip-top is opened.
[0004] Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide a storage device installed on the top of a vehicle dashboard, comprising a box body, a box cover, and a box cover movement mechanism connected between the box body and the box cover.
[0005] The lid movement mechanism includes a rotating shaft, a transmission assembly, and a stabilizing rod. The rotating shaft is located on one side of the lid. One end of the transmission assembly is slidably connected to the lid, and the other end of the transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The two ends of the stabilizing rod are rotatably connected to the box body and the lid, respectively. The rotation of the rotating shaft can drive the lid to slide open or close through the transmission assembly, and drive the stabilizing rod to rotate and support the lid.
[0006] When the shaft rotates around its axis, one end of the transmission component slides along the cover, keeping the cover horizontal and thus avoiding obstructing the driver's forward vision, ensuring driving safety.
[0007] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a transmission rod and a slider. One end of the transmission rod is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the slider. The slider is also slidably connected to the box cover.
[0008] Furthermore, the storage device also includes a support rod, which is located inside the lid. The support rod is connected to the transmission rod via a first bushing, and the slider is connected to the support rod via a second bushing.
[0009] The support rod connects the two sliders into one unit, making the movement of the sliders more synchronized and ensuring that the lid remains horizontal during opening and closing.
[0010] Furthermore, the transmission rod includes an arc-shaped rod portion and a straight rod portion. The straight rod portion is connected to the slider, and the arc-shaped rod portion is connected to the rotating shaft. The straight rod portion enables the lid to remain horizontal during horizontal movement.
[0011] Furthermore, the transmission rod has a "J" shaped structure to ensure that the lid remains horizontal when it is opened or closed.
[0012] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is arranged along the length of the box cover, and there are two sets of transmission components, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft.
[0013] Furthermore, the lid is provided with a first position connected to the transmission rod and a second position connected to the stabilizing rod, the first position and the second position being located on both sides of the lid in the width direction.
[0014] The lengths of the stabilizer bar and the transmission bar are fixed, but their rotation axes are in different positions. To ensure that the lid remains horizontal when it is raised and opened, the movement of the slider and groove at the bottom of the lid is used to compensate for the front and rear positions.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a drive unit, which is connected to the rotating shaft.
[0016] Furthermore, the number of stabilizer bars can be one or two. When there is only one stabilizer bar, the drive unit and the stabilizer bar are located on opposite sides of the box along its length. This structure results in balanced forces and better overall stability.
[0017] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a transmission rod receiving groove for accommodating the transmission rod and a stabilizing rod receiving groove for accommodating the stabilizing rod, and the shape of the transmission rod receiving groove matches the shape of the transmission rod.
[0018] The present invention provides a vehicle including the above-described storage device.
[0019] The driver transmits signals to the vehicle controller via a large touchscreen, voice, or gestures, and the vehicle controller then opens and closes the storage compartment.
[0020] The working process of the storage device of the present invention is as follows:
[0021] When the lid is opened, the drive motor unit drives the rotating shaft to rotate the transmission rod, thereby causing the lid to move upward. The stabilizer is driven to rotate. Through the rotation of the stabilizer and the sliding adjustment of the lid in the slider and the groove, the lid is kept in a horizontal position.
[0022] When the lid is closed, the drive motor unit drives the rotating shaft to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the lid to move downward. The stabilizer is also driven to rotate in the opposite direction. Through the rotation of the stabilizer and the sliding adjustment of the lid in the slider and groove, the lid is kept in a horizontal position.
[0023] The storage device and vehicle of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0024] By installing a covered storage device on top of the dashboard, the structure is compact and the space utilization is high, meeting the user's storage and aesthetic requirements; through the rotational movement of the stabilizer bar and the forward and backward sliding of the slider at the bottom of the cover, the cover is kept horizontal when opened and closed, which does not affect the driver's forward vision and improves user satisfaction.
[0025] This invention discloses a vehicle comprising the aforementioned storage device and a vehicle controller. The driver transmits signals to the vehicle controller via a large-screen touchscreen, voice, or gestures. The vehicle controller then opens and closes the storage device, automating the operation and enhancing driver safety. Attached Figure Description

[0051] Example 1
[0052] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage device installed on the top of the dashboard 400, including a box body 100, a box cover 200, and a box cover moving mechanism 300 connected between the box body 100 and the box cover 200.
[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lid movement mechanism 300 includes a rotating shaft 301, a transmission assembly, and a stabilizing rod 306. The two ends of the stabilizing rod 306 are rotatably connected to the box body 100 and the lid 200, respectively, and the connection method is hinged. Two sets of transmission assemblies are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 301. One end of the transmission assembly is slidably connected to the lid 200, and the other end of the transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301.
[0054] The rotation of the rotating shaft 301 can drive the box cover 200 to move horizontally to open or close via the transmission assembly, and drive the stabilizing rod 306 to rotate to support the box cover 200.
[0055] When the shaft 301 rotates around its axis, one end of the transmission component slides along the cover 200, keeping the cover 200 horizontal, thereby avoiding obstructing the driver's forward vision and ensuring driving safety.
[0056] Example 2
[0057] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage device installed on the top of the dashboard 400, including a box body 100, a box cover 200, and a box cover moving mechanism 300 connected between the box body 100 and the box cover 200.
[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lid movement mechanism 300 includes a rotating shaft 301, a transmission assembly, and a stabilizing rod 306. The two ends of the stabilizing rod 306 are rotatably connected to the box body 100 and the lid 200, respectively, and the connection method is hinged. Two sets of transmission assemblies are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 301. One end of the transmission assembly is slidably connected to the lid 200, and the other end of the transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301.
[0059] The rotation of the rotating shaft 301 can drive the box cover 200 to move horizontally to open or close via the transmission assembly, and drive the stabilizing rod 306 to rotate to support the box cover 200.
[0060] When the shaft 301 rotates around its axis, one end of the transmission component slides along the cover 200, keeping the cover 200 horizontal, thereby avoiding obstructing the driver's forward vision and ensuring driving safety.
[0061] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that:
[0062] Specifically, the number of stabilizer bars 306 can be one or two. When the number is one, it can save space on the box 100 to accommodate the stabilizer bars 306 and also save material costs. When the number is two, it can better maintain the stability of the box cover 200 during the translation process.
[0063] The transmission assembly includes a transmission rod 302 and a slider 303. One end of the transmission rod 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301, and the other end of the transmission rod 302 is rotatably connected to the slider 303, preferably hinged. The top of the slider 303 is slidably connected to the cover 200, which can realize position compensation during the rotation of the stabilizer 306, so that the cover 200 always remains in a horizontal state.
[0064] The lid 200 has a first position connected to the transmission rod 302 and a second position connected to the stabilizing rod 306, and the first position and the second position are located on both sides of the lid in the width direction.
[0065] The rotating shaft 301 is arranged along the length of the cover 200, and there are two sets of transmission components, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 301 to ensure the stability of the translation of the cover 200.
[0066] The transmission rod 302 includes an arc-shaped rod portion and a straight rod portion. The straight rod portion is located between the arc-shaped rod portion and the slider 303, and one end of the arc-shaped rod portion is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301. The straight rod portion enables the cover 200 to remain horizontal during horizontal movement.
[0067] The lengths of the stabilizer bar 304 and the transmission bar 302 are both fixed, but their rotation axes are in different positions. In order to ensure that the lid 200 is always horizontal when it is raised and opened, the movement of the slider 303 and the groove 201 at the bottom of the lid 200 is needed to compensate for the front and rear positions.
[0068] Example 3
[0069] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage device installed on the top of the dashboard 400, including a box body 100, a box cover 200, and a box cover moving mechanism 300 connected between the box body 100 and the box cover 200.
[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The lid movement mechanism 300 includes a rotating shaft 301, a transmission assembly, and a stabilizing rod 306. The two ends of the stabilizing rod 306 are rotatably connected to the box body 100 and the lid 200, respectively, and the connection method is hinged. Two sets of transmission assemblies are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 301. One end of the transmission assembly is slidably connected to the lid 200, and the other end of the transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301.
[0071] The rotation of the rotating shaft 301 can drive the box cover 200 to move horizontally to open or close via the transmission assembly, and drive the stabilizing rod 306 to rotate to support the box cover 200.
[0072] When the shaft 301 rotates around its axis, one end of the transmission component slides along the cover 200, keeping the cover 200 horizontal, thereby avoiding obstructing the driver's forward vision and ensuring driving safety.
[0073] Specifically, the number of stabilizer bars 306 can be one or two. When the number is one, it can save space on the box 100 to accommodate the stabilizer bars 306 and also save material costs. When the number is two, it can better maintain the stability of the box cover 200 during the translation process.
[0074] The transmission assembly includes a transmission rod 302 and a slider 303. One end of the transmission rod 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301, and the other end of the transmission rod 302 is rotatably connected to the slider 303, preferably hinged. The top of the slider 303 is slidably connected to the cover 200, which can realize position compensation during the rotation of the stabilizer 306, so that the cover 200 always remains in a horizontal state.
[0075] The lid 200 has a first position connected to the transmission rod 302 and a second position connected to the stabilizing rod 306, and the first position and the second position are located on both sides of the lid in the width direction.
[0076] The rotating shaft 301 is arranged along the length of the cover 200, and there are two sets of transmission components, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 301 to ensure the stability of the translation of the cover 200.
[0077] The transmission rod 302 includes an arc-shaped rod portion and a straight rod portion. The straight rod portion is located between the arc-shaped rod portion and the slider 303, and one end of the arc-shaped rod portion is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301. The straight rod portion enables the cover 200 to remain horizontal during horizontal movement.
[0078] The lengths of the stabilizer bar 304 and the transmission bar 302 are both fixed, but their rotation axes are in different positions. In order to ensure that the lid 200 is always horizontal when it is raised and opened, the movement of the slider 303 and the groove 201 at the bottom of the lid 200 is needed to compensate for the front and rear positions.
[0079] The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that:
[0080] The storage device also includes a support rod 304, and a transmission assembly including a transmission rod 302 and a slider 303. The lower part of the slider 303 is rotatably or fixedly connected to the support rod 304 via a second bushing 308. One end of the transmission rod 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301, and the other end of the transmission rod 302 is rotatably connected to the support rod 304 via a first bushing 307, preferably hinged. The upper part of the slider 303 is slidably connected to the cover 200.
[0081] The support rod 304 connects the two sliders 303 into one unit, making the movement of the sliders 303 more synchronized and ensuring that the lid 200 remains horizontal during opening and closing.
[0082] The box cover 200 has a slide groove 201 below it that matches the slider 303. The length direction of the slide groove 201 is parallel to the width direction of the box body 100.
[0083] Specifically, the slide 201 is provided with two parallel slide rails, which are slidably connected to the slider 303, and the sliding direction is consistent with the width direction of the box 200.
[0084] The transmission rod 302 has a "J" shaped structure, which makes it easier for the cover 200 to remain horizontal during opening or closing, thus avoiding obstructing the driver's forward vision.
[0085] Specifically, the "J"-shaped structure includes a hook and a rod. One end of the hook is connected to the rotating shaft 301, and the opening of the hook faces the rotating shaft 301. Driving the rotating shaft 301 can cause the hook to rotate towards or away from the box 100. The rod is connected to the slider 303.
[0086] Example 4
[0087] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage device installed on the top of the dashboard 400, including a box body 100, a box cover 200, and a box cover moving mechanism 300 connected between the box body 100 and the box cover 200.
[0088] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lid movement mechanism 300 includes a rotating shaft 301, a transmission assembly, and a stabilizing rod 306. The two ends of the stabilizing rod 306 are rotatably connected to the box body 100 and the lid 200, respectively, and the connection method is hinged. Two sets of transmission assemblies are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 301. One end of the transmission assembly is slidably connected to the lid 200, and the other end of the transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301.
[0089] The rotation of the rotating shaft 301 can drive the box cover 200 to move horizontally to open or close via the transmission assembly, and drive the stabilizing rod 306 to rotate to support the box cover 200.
[0090] When the shaft 301 rotates around its axis, one end of the transmission component slides along the cover 200, keeping the cover 200 horizontal, thereby avoiding obstructing the driver's forward vision and ensuring driving safety.
[0091] Specifically, the number of stabilizer bars 306 can be one or two. When the number is one, it can save space on the box 100 to accommodate the stabilizer bars 306 and also save material costs. When the number is two, it can better maintain the stability of the box cover 200 during the translation process.
[0092] The transmission assembly includes a transmission rod 302 and a slider 303. One end of the transmission rod 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301, and the other end of the transmission rod 302 is rotatably connected to the slider 303, preferably hinged. The top of the slider 303 is slidably connected to the cover 200, which can realize position compensation during the rotation of the stabilizer 306, so that the cover 200 always remains in a horizontal state.
[0093] The lid 200 has a first position connected to the transmission rod 302 and a second position connected to the stabilizing rod 306, and the first position and the second position are located on both sides of the lid in the width direction.
[0094] The rotating shaft 301 is arranged along the length of the cover 200, and there are two sets of transmission components, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 301 to ensure the stability of the translation of the cover 200.
[0095] The transmission rod 302 includes an arc-shaped rod portion and a straight rod portion. The straight rod portion is located between the arc-shaped rod portion and the slider 303, and one end of the arc-shaped rod portion is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301. The straight rod portion enables the cover 200 to remain horizontal during horizontal movement.
[0096] The lengths of the stabilizer bar 304 and the transmission bar 302 are both fixed, but their rotation axes are in different positions. In order to ensure that the lid 200 is always horizontal when it is raised and opened, the movement of the slider 303 and the groove 201 at the bottom of the lid 200 is needed to compensate for the front and rear positions.
[0097] The difference between this embodiment and embodiments 1, 2, and 3 is that:
[0098] The present invention also includes a drive unit 305, which drives the rotating shaft 301 to rotate around its axis, thereby causing the transmission rod 302 to rotate and the slider 303 to slide.
[0099] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive unit 305 includes a drive motor 3051 and a gear pair 3052. The output shaft of the drive motor 3051 is connected to the gear pair 3052, and the gear pair 3052 is also connected to the rotating shaft 301.
[0100] Furthermore, the drive motor 3051 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor.
[0101] When the number of stabilizer bars 306 is a single one, the drive unit 305 and the stabilizer bars 306 are respectively located on both sides of the length direction of the housing 100. This structure has a balanced force and better overall stability.
[0102] Example 5
[0103] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage device installed on the top of the dashboard 400, including a box body 100, a box cover 200, and a box cover moving mechanism 300 connected between the box body 100 and the box cover 200.
[0104] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lid movement mechanism 300 includes a rotating shaft 301, a transmission assembly, and a stabilizing rod 306. The two ends of the stabilizing rod 306 are rotatably connected to the box body 100 and the lid 200, respectively, and the connection method is hinged. Two sets of transmission assemblies are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 301. One end of the transmission assembly is slidably connected to the lid 200, and the other end of the transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301.
[0105] The rotation of the rotating shaft 301 can drive the box cover 200 to move horizontally to open or close via the transmission assembly, and drive the stabilizing rod 306 to rotate to support the box cover 200.
[0106] When the shaft 301 rotates around its axis, one end of the transmission component slides along the cover 200, keeping the cover 200 horizontal, thereby avoiding obstructing the driver's forward vision and ensuring driving safety.
[0107] Specifically, the number of stabilizer bars 306 can be one or two. When the number is one, it can save space on the box 100 to accommodate the stabilizer bars 306 and also save material costs. When the number is two, it can better maintain the stability of the box cover 200 during the translation process.
[0108] The transmission assembly includes a transmission rod 302 and a slider 303. One end of the transmission rod 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301, and the other end of the transmission rod 302 is rotatably connected to the slider 303, preferably hinged. The top of the slider 303 is slidably connected to the cover 200, which can realize position compensation during the rotation of the stabilizer 306, so that the cover 200 always remains in a horizontal state.
[0109] The lid 200 has a first position connected to the transmission rod 302 and a second position connected to the stabilizing rod 306, and the first position and the second position are located on both sides of the lid in the width direction.
[0110] The rotating shaft 301 is arranged along the length of the cover 200, and there are two sets of transmission components, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 301 to ensure the stability of the translation of the cover 200.
[0111] The transmission rod 302 includes an arc-shaped rod portion and a straight rod portion. The straight rod portion is located between the arc-shaped rod portion and the slider 303, and one end of the arc-shaped rod portion is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301. The straight rod portion enables the cover 200 to remain horizontal during horizontal movement.
[0112] The lengths of the stabilizer bar 304 and the transmission bar 302 are both fixed, but their rotation axes are in different positions. In order to ensure that the lid 200 is always horizontal when it is raised and opened, the movement of the slider 303 and the groove 201 at the bottom of the lid 200 is needed to compensate for the front and rear positions.
[0113] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that:
[0114] like Figure 4 The box body 100 has extensions 101 on both sides, and each extension 101 has a transmission rod receiving groove 1012 inside. When the number of stabilizing rods 306 is single, the extension 101 also has a stabilizing rod receiving groove 1011 inside. When the box cover 200 is closed, the stabilizing rod receiving groove 1011 can accommodate the stabilizing rod 306, and the transmission rod receiving groove 1012 can accommodate the transmission rod 302. The stabilizing rod receiving groove 1011 is located on the side of the transmission rod receiving groove 1012 away from or away from the box body 200. The shape of the transmission rod receiving groove 1012 matches the shape of the transmission rod 302.
[0115] Specifically, the extension 101 and the box body 100 are an integral structure.
[0116] Specifically, the extension 101 and the box body 100 are integrally formed.
[0117] Example 6
[0118] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage device installed on the top of the dashboard 400, including a box body 100, a box cover 200, and a box cover moving mechanism 300 connected between the box body 100 and the box cover 200.
[0119] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the lid movement mechanism 300 includes a rotating shaft 301, a transmission assembly, and a stabilizing rod 306. The two ends of the stabilizing rod 306 are rotatably connected to the box body 100 and the lid 200, respectively, and the connection method is hinged. Two sets of transmission assemblies are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 301. One end of the transmission assembly is slidably connected to the lid 200, and the other end of the transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301.
[0120] The rotation of the rotating shaft 301 can drive the box cover 200 to move horizontally to open or close via the transmission assembly, and drive the stabilizing rod 306 to rotate to support the box cover 200.
[0121] When the shaft 301 rotates around its axis, one end of the transmission component slides along the cover 200, keeping the cover 200 horizontal, thereby avoiding obstructing the driver's forward vision and ensuring driving safety.
[0122] Specifically, the number of stabilizer bars 306 can be one or two. When the number is one, it can save space on the box 100 to accommodate the stabilizer bars 306 and also save material costs. When the number is two, it can better maintain the stability of the box cover 200 during the translation process.
[0123] The transmission assembly includes a transmission rod 302 and a slider 303. One end of the transmission rod 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301, and the other end of the transmission rod 302 is rotatably connected to the slider 303, preferably hinged. The top of the slider 303 is slidably connected to the cover 200, which can realize position compensation during the rotation of the stabilizer 306, so that the cover 200 always remains in a horizontal state.
[0124] The lid 200 has a first position connected to the transmission rod 302 and a second position connected to the stabilizing rod 306, and the first position and the second position are located on both sides of the lid in the width direction.
[0125] The rotating shaft 301 is arranged along the length of the cover 200, and there are two sets of transmission components, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 301 to ensure the stability of the translation of the cover 200.
[0126] The transmission rod 302 includes an arc-shaped rod portion and a straight rod portion. The straight rod portion is located between the arc-shaped rod portion and the slider 303, and one end of the arc-shaped rod portion is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 301. The straight rod portion enables the cover 200 to remain horizontal during horizontal movement.
[0127] The lengths of the stabilizer bar 304 and the transmission bar 302 are both fixed, but their rotation axes are in different positions. In order to ensure that the lid 200 is always horizontal when it is raised and opened, the movement of the slider 303 and the groove 201 at the bottom of the lid 200 is needed to compensate for the front and rear positions.
[0128] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that:
[0129] like Figure 4 The box body 100 has extensions 101 on both sides, and each extension 101 has a transmission rod receiving groove 1012 inside. When there are two stabilizing rods 306, the extension 101 also has a stabilizing rod receiving groove 1011 inside. When the box cover 200 is closed, the stabilizing rod receiving groove 1011 can accommodate the stabilizing rod 306, and the transmission rod receiving groove 1012 can accommodate the transmission rod 302. The stabilizing rod receiving groove 1011 is located on the side of the transmission rod receiving groove 1012 away from or away from the box body 200. The shape of the transmission rod receiving groove 1012 matches the shape of the transmission rod 302.
[0130] Specifically, the transmission rod receiving groove 1012 is arranged along the width direction of the box body 100 to ensure that the transmission rod 302 can smoothly enter the transmission rod receiving groove 1012.
[0131] Specifically, the stabilizer bar receiving groove 1011 is arranged along the width direction of the box body 100 to ensure that the transmission rod 302 can smoothly enter the stabilizer bar receiving groove 1011.
[0132] The box 100 is rectangular, cylindrical, polygonal, or other irregularly shaped.
[0133] The box body 100 has an opening at the top, and a matching box lid 200 is provided above the opening. The shape of the box lid matches the shape of the opening of the box body 100, ensuring that the box body 100 can be closed.
[0134] An opening matching the shape of the extension 101 is provided above the dashboard.
[0135] Specifically, the extension 101 is square, semi-circular, or other irregularly shaped.
[0136] like Figures 5-7 As shown, the working process of a storage device of the present invention is as follows:
[0137] like Figure 6 As shown, when the box cover 200 is opened, the drive motor unit 305 drives the rotating shaft 301 to rotate the transmission rod 302, thereby causing the box cover 200 to move upward. The stabilizer rod 306 is driven to rotate. Through the rotation of the stabilizer rod 306 and the sliding adjustment of the box cover 200 in the slider 303 and the slide groove 201, the box cover 200 is always kept in a horizontal state.
[0138] like Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, when the lid 200 is closed, the drive motor unit 305 drives the rotating shaft 301 to rotate the transmission rod 302 in the opposite direction, thereby causing the lid 200 to move downward. The stabilizer rod 306 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction. Through the rotation of the stabilizer rod 306 and the sliding adjustment of the lid 200 in the slider 303 and the slide groove 201, the lid 200 is always kept in a horizontal state.
[0139] Example 7
[0140] This embodiment provides a vehicle that includes any of the storage devices described in the above embodiments.
[0141] The driver transmits signals to the vehicle controller via a large touchscreen, voice, or gestures, and the vehicle controller then opens and closes the storage compartment. This avoids the safety hazards associated with manually opening the compartment lid and ensures driving safety.
