Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a front storage box and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] During the vehicle development and design process, a Thermal Management 3.0 system was adopted to improve overall vehicle performance. This system tilts the radiator cooling module assembly and air duct rearward to increase the volume of the cooling module and optimize the use of space in the front engine compartment, while also freeing up more space for the storage box above the front engine compartment. However, this arrangement makes the relative position between the storage box and the electrical box more compact, resulting in limited space for wiring operations and making jump-starting the electrical box difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a front storage box that reduces the difficulty of jump-starting and facilitates emergency charging for users.

The third latching part and the fourth latching part are disposed on the box body. One of the third latching part and the first latching part can be elastically deformed and engaged with the other. One of the fourth latching part and the second latching part can be elastically deformed and engaged with the other. In this process, the first or third latching part in the latching state undergoes an elastic deformation of a first deformation amount to a separation state, and the second or fourth latching part in the latching state undergoes an elastic deformation of a second deformation amount to a separation state, wherein the first deformation amount is less than the second deformation amount.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second latching portions are arranged in pairs, and the second latching portions are configured such that when the first latching portion is separated from the third latching portion, the paired second latching portions can move relative to each other under an external force acting on the cover body, so as to separate from the fourth latching portion.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second opening extends along the vertical direction of the vehicle, wherein, along the vertical direction of the vehicle, the third latching portion is located above the second latching portion.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second latching part is a second elastic hook, and the box body is provided with a positioning groove that penetrates the box body along the normal direction of the second opening. The second latching part passes through the positioning groove to engage with the fourth latching part.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the front storage box further includes a first seal, which is disposed between the cover and the box body and surrounds the second opening.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second opening is at least partially disposed on the annular sidewall, and the front storage box further includes a second seal disposed at the bottom of the cover. When the cover is detachably connected to the box body, the second seal extends into the second opening and elastically abuts against the inner wall of the second opening.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the radial dimension of the second opening ranges from 36mm to 100mm.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-6 This application provides a front storage box 10, disposed in the front engine compartment of a vehicle, the front storage box 10 having a storage cavity 100c for storing items. Please refer to... Figure 1 The vehicle includes a radiator cooling module assembly 40 and an air guide shroud 50. The air guide shroud 50 is connected to the radiator cooling module assembly 40 and is located on the front side of the radiator cooling module assembly 40 to guide airflow to the radiator cooling module assembly 40. Both the radiator cooling module assembly 40 and the air guide shroud 50 are tilted backward. The front storage box 10 is located above the radiator cooling module assembly 40 and the air guide shroud 50.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-7 This application also provides a vehicle, including a front compartment assembly, an electrical box 30, a battery assembly, and a front storage box 10. The front compartment assembly has a front engine compartment, and the front storage box 10 and the electrical box 30 are disposed within the front engine compartment. The electrical box 30 is connected to the battery assembly and has overload or short-circuit protection functions, as well as an external power supply function. The battery assembly is an energy device that provides power to the vehicle; exemplaryly, the battery assembly is disposed in the bottom area of ​​the vehicle seats.

[0031] For ease of understanding, the directions in this invention are first defined as follows: The directions of up, down, front, back, left, and right involved in this invention refer to the orientation of a car in the vehicle's O-XYZ coordinate system. The origin O coincides with the center of mass of the vehicle. The front end refers to the X direction parallel to the ground pointing forward, the rear end refers to the X direction parallel to the ground pointing backward, the left side refers to the Y direction parallel to the ground pointing to the driver's left, the right side refers to the Y direction parallel to the ground pointing to the driver's right, the upper end refers to the Z direction passing through point O pointing upward, and the lower end refers to the Z direction passing through point O pointing downward. The XZ plane is a vertical plane parallel to the X direction.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 The electrical box 30 is located outside the front storage box 10, facilitating connection to external devices without occupying internal space in the storage cavity 100c. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 7 The electrical box 30 has a wiring section 301 for electrically connecting the battery assembly.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The front storage box 10 includes a box body 100, which includes a bottom wall 110 and an annular side wall 120. The bottom wall 110 is connected to one end of the annular side wall 120 and together with the annular side wall 120, forms a storage cavity 100c for storing items.

[0034] A first opening 100a, communicating with the storage cavity 100c, is formed on the side of the box 100 opposite to the bottom wall 110. The first opening 100a is used for taking out and putting in items. A second opening 100b is provided on the box 100, wherein the second opening 100b is located on the bottom wall 110 or the annular side wall 120, or the second opening 100b is partially located on the bottom wall 110 and partially on the annular side wall 120. It is understood that, along the vertical direction of the vehicle, the first opening 100a is located above the second opening 100b.

[0035] The second opening 100b communicates with the storage cavity 100c, allowing a jumper cable to extend from the storage cavity 100c to connect to the electrical box 30. For example, the jumper cable 20 includes a cable body and electrician's pliers connected to both ends of the cable body. One end of the electrician's pliers connects to the electrical box 30 and, through the electrical box 30, to the battery assembly. The other end of the electrician's pliers connects to the electrical box 30 of the discharging vehicle, thereby achieving connection to the battery assembly of the discharging vehicle. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 In the middle, only the electrician's pliers are shown in the wiring 20 section.

[0036] In the above embodiment, by opening a second opening 100b in the front storage box 10, when the vehicle cannot be started, one end of the jumper cable 20 can be connected to the vehicle being discharged, and the other end can be inserted into the front storage box 10 from the first opening 100a of the vehicle to be charged, and then extended out from the second opening 100b of the front storage box 10 and connected to the electrical box 30, thereby realizing emergency charging of the battery assembly of the vehicle to be charged. The above emergency charging operation is relatively simple and effectively improves the convenience of use in emergency scenarios.

[0037] It should be noted that there are generally two sets of jumper cables 20, one for positive connection and the other for negative connection. Specifically, one set of jumper cables 20 connects to the positive terminal 301 of both the vehicle being discharged and the vehicle being charged, and the other set connects to the negative terminal 301 of both vehicles. The negative terminal 301 of the vehicle can be an area without insulating paint coating on the door hinge or the hood hinge.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the electrical box 30 has a wiring portion 301 for electrically connecting the vehicle's battery assembly; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 Along the normal direction of the second opening 100b, the second opening 100b is positioned opposite the wiring part 301. In this way, the jumper cable can pass through the second opening 100b and directly connect to the wiring part 301, thereby facilitating connection in confined spaces and environments where visibility is limited, and improving operational efficiency.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 7 For example, the electrical box 30 has a groove, and the wiring part 301 is a conductive sheet. The conductive sheet is disposed in the groove. The groove can protect the wiring part 301 and also guide the electrician's pliers of the jumper cable 20 to accurately connect to the conductive sheet.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the wiring portion 301 is covered by the front storage box 10 along the top-to-bottom direction of the vehicle. It is understood that since the jumper cable 20 extends from the first opening 100a of the front storage box 10 and connects to the wiring portion 301 of the electrical box 30 via the second opening 100b, the above arrangement does not affect the normal connection and operation of the jumper cable 20. At the same time, it significantly reduces the gap between the front storage box 10 and the electrical box 30, resulting in a more compact structure and a better overall visual effect.

[0041] For example, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper edge of the box 100 has a folded edge that folds outwards. Along the vehicle height from top to bottom, the folded edge covers the wiring portion 301 of the electrical box 30. Furthermore, along the vehicle height from bottom to top, the storage cavity 100c gradually expands, giving the box 100 a wide-at-the-top, narrow-at-the-bottom open structure, which helps to increase the volume of the storage cavity 100c. Along the top-to-bottom direction, part of the electrical box 30 is also covered by the aforementioned inclined sidewalls of the box 100.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the electrical box 30 is located on one side of the front storage box 10 along the vehicle width direction. For example, the electrical box 30 is located on the left side of the front storage box 10. Specifically, along the vehicle's longitudinal direction, the electrical box 30 is positioned between the piping structure of the radiator cooling module assembly 40 and the front frame. The front frame is fixed to the longitudinal beams of the front compartment assembly on both sides, and the front storage box 10 is mounted on the crossbeam of the front compartment assembly. The front frame serves as the mounting reference for the vehicle's headlights and front bumper.

[0043] The position of the second opening 100b on the box 100 is not limited, but is adapted to the position of the electrical box 30 and the layout of the wiring part 301 to ensure that the jumper wire 20 can be connected smoothly.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the annular sidewall 120 includes a first sidewall 121, a second sidewall 122, a third sidewall 123, and a fourth sidewall 124. The first sidewall 121 and the second sidewall 122 are sequentially arranged along the vehicle's left-to-right direction, and the third sidewall 123 and the fourth sidewall 124 are sequentially arranged along the vehicle's front-to-rear direction. The second opening 100b is located at the connection point of the bottom wall 110, the first sidewall 121, and the fourth sidewall 124. This location allows the second opening 100b to be close to the wiring portion 301 of the electrical box 30, shortening the wiring path of the jumper cable 20 and avoiding interference with other components.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the front storage box 10 includes a cover 200, which is detachably connected to the box body 100 and closes the second opening 100b. Thus, when the cover 200 is connected to the box body 100, the second opening 100b is sealed, thereby not affecting the storage function of the front storage box 10, while preventing water from leaking out of the second opening 100b and affecting live components such as the electrical box 30. When the jumper cable 20 is needed, the cover 200 can be removed to open the second opening 100b, allowing the jumper cable 20 to pass through and connect to the wiring portion 301 of the electrical box 30.

[0046] Furthermore, the connection method between the cover 200 and the box 100 is not limited; it can be a snap-fit ​​connection or a screw connection.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 5In some embodiments, the cover 200 includes a cover body 210, a first latching portion 220, and a second latching portion 230, which are disposed on the cover body 210. Exemplarily, the cover body 210 is a planar plate structure, the shape and size of which are adapted to the second opening 100b to ensure that the cover 200 can completely cover and seal the second opening 100b. There are multiple first latching portions 220 and second latching portions 230, all spaced apart along the edge of the cover body 210.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 6 The box body 100 includes a box body 160, a third latching part 170, and a fourth latching part 180, with the third latching part 170 and the fourth latching part 180 disposed on the box body 160. The third latching part 170 and the fourth latching part 180 are respectively disposed on the circumferential edges of the second opening 100b.

[0049] One of the third latching part 170 and the first latching part 220 can be elastically deformed and engaged with the other, and one of the fourth latching part 180 and the second latching part 230 can be elastically deformed and engaged with the other, thereby realizing the quick assembly and disassembly between the cover 200 and the box 100 and improving the ease of operation.

[0050] In this process, the first latching part 220 or the third latching part 170 in the latching state elastically deforms to a first deformation amount until it is separated, and the second latching part 230 or the fourth latching part 180 in the latching state elastically deforms to a second deformation amount until it is separated, with the first deformation amount being smaller than the second deformation amount.

[0051] Thus, on the one hand, the first deformation of the first latching part 220 and the third latching part 170 from the latching state to the separated state is relatively small, so the separation difficulty is relatively low, which can reduce the operational difficulty for users when installing or removing the cover 200. On the other hand, when the cover 200 is deformed due to vibration or impact during vehicle operation, even if the first latching part 220 and the third latching part 170 separate, the second deformation of the second latching part 230 and the fourth latching part 180 from the latching state to the separated state is relatively large, so they can still maintain effective latching, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the cover 200 and the box 100.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6For example, the first snap-fit ​​part 220 is a first elastic hook. The first elastic hook extends out of the storage cavity 100c from the second opening 100b. During the process, the first elastic hook is squeezed inward by the inner wall of the second opening 100b, and after passing the second opening 100b, it rebounds outward and engages with one end of the inner wall of the second opening 100b. The third snap-fit ​​part 170 is a portion of one end of the inner wall of the second opening 100b. The aforementioned portion can be set as a slot to limit the first snap-fit ​​part 220 in the engaged state and improve the stability of the connection.

[0053] The second latching part 230 is a second elastic hook. The cross-section of the second latching part 230 is larger than the cross-sectional size of the first latching part 220, making the second latching part 230 less prone to elastic deformation, thus making it more stable and reliable when subjected to external impact.

[0054] For further details, please refer to... Figure 6 In some embodiments, the box body 160 is provided with a positioning groove 161 that extends through the box body 160 along the normal direction of the first opening 100a. The second latching part 230 is a second elastic hook, which passes through the positioning groove 161 and engages with the fourth latching part 180. During installation, the second latching part 230 is first inserted into the positioning groove 161, and the positioning groove 161 limits and guides the second latching part 230, thereby ensuring that the second latching part 230 is accurately aligned with the fourth latching part 180, and that the first latching part 220 and the third latching part 170 are also aligned simultaneously, improving assembly efficiency. When the second latching part 230 passes through the positioning groove 161, the second latching part 230 elastically expands outward and engages with the fourth latching part 180.

[0055] The positioning groove 161 can be a closed annular groove structure, which can effectively limit the lateral displacement of the second snap-fit ​​part 230 and improve the connection stability.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second latching portions 230 are arranged in pairs. The second latching portions 230 are configured such that when the first latching portion 220 separates from the third latching portion 170, the paired second latching portions 230 can move relative to each other under an external force acting on the cover body 210, thereby separating from the fourth latching portion. Specifically, the cover body 210 can elastically deform under the external force, causing the paired second latching portions 230 to retract inwards, thus separating from the fourth latching portion. In this embodiment, when the cover 200 needs to be disassembled, the connection between the first latching portion 220 and the third latching portion 170 needs to be separated first. Then, an external force is applied to cause the cover body 210 to elastically deform, causing the paired second latching portions 230 to retract inwards and disengage from the slot of the fourth latching portion 180, achieving quick disassembly.

[0057] In some embodiments, the second opening 100b extends along the vertical direction of the vehicle, and in this case, the second opening 100b is at least partially located on the annular sidewall 120. Along the vertical direction of the vehicle, the third latching portion 170 is positioned above the second latching portion 230. It is understood that the first latching portion 220 and the third latching portion 170 are relatively easy to separate, therefore, the third latching portion 170 is positioned above the first to facilitate separation by the operator.

[0058] For example, there are multiple first latching parts 220, such as three, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cover body 210. There are two third latching parts 170, which are located symmetrically around the circumference of the cover body 210 and in the middle region of the second opening 100b along the vertical direction.

[0059] In some embodiments, the front storage compartment 10 further includes a first seal disposed between the cover 200 and the compartment 100, and surrounding the second opening 100b. The first seal is made of an elastic material, effectively filling the gap between the cover 200 and the compartment 100, providing reliable sealing performance after the snap-fit ​​connection is completed, preventing dust or liquid leakage. Exemplarily, a portion of the first seal is disposed on the cover 200, and the remaining portion is disposed on the compartment 100. When the cover 200 and the compartment 100 are snapped together, the two portions of the first seal abut and compress and deform.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, when the second opening 100b is at least partially located on the annular sidewall 120, the front storage box 10 further includes a second seal 300. The second seal 300 is located at the bottom of the cover 200. When the cover 200 is detachably connected to the box body 100, the second seal 300 extends into the second opening 100b and elastically abuts against the inner wall of the second opening 100b. The elastic abutment between the second seal 300 and the inner wall of the second opening 100b further enhances the sealing effect at the bottom of the cover 200. In particular, when the second opening 100b is partially located on the bottom wall 110, the aforementioned second seal 300 can significantly improve the waterproof effect.

[0061] In some embodiments, the bottom of the second opening 100b is a straight edge, and the second seal 300 extends along the straight edge and elastically abuts against the inner wall of the straight edge.

[0062] Drainage holes can be provided on the bottom wall 110 to facilitate the drainage of water accumulated in the storage cavity 100c.

[0063] The size of the second opening 100b is not limited, and should be designed reasonably based on the ease of operation of the wiring 20.

[0064] In some embodiments, the radial dimension of the second opening 100b ranges from 36mm to 100mm. The second opening 100b is irregularly shaped, with a minimum radial dimension of 36mm passing through its geometric center and a maximum radial dimension not exceeding 100mm.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electrical box 30 includes an electrical box body and a protective cover, with a wiring portion 301 disposed in the electrical box body. The protective cover is movable to a first position or a second position. In the first position, the protective cover is located in the gap between the second opening 100b and the wiring portion 301 to cover the wiring portion 301. In the second position, the protective cover is at least partially located outside the gap between the second opening 100b and the wiring portion 301 to expose the wiring portion 301. During operation, the operator's hand partially passes through the second opening 100b and pushes the protective cover from the first position to the second position, thereby exposing the wiring portion 301 for a connection operation.
