Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vehicle luggage technology, and specifically relates to a vehicle luggage box. Background Technology

[0002] A car trunk is a convenient device for road trips, used to carry a large number of travel supplies or luggage. A car trunk is a box-shaped object fixed to the vehicle's frame. Traditional car trunks typically rely on a lock cylinder to lock the lid, but they usually only open from one side of the vehicle. If the vehicle is parked in an inconvenient location, or if one side is obstructed or difficult for the user to stand on, it will be inconvenient to use the car trunk. Some car trunks have a double-door design, using a support hinge point in the middle of the lid to ensure that the lid can be opened from both sides. However, this design limits the height of luggage. If the height of the luggage is similar to the height of the trunk plus the lid, and the luggage is heavy, it is difficult to place or retrieve the luggage, as the luggage is easily blocked by the support hinge point in the middle of the lid. Therefore, a new type of car trunk is provided. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle luggage compartment that addresses the problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A vehicle luggage box includes a vehicle frame, a box body, and a box lid. Support frames are fixedly provided on the front and rear sides of the lower end of the box body. Mounting components are fixedly provided on both sides of the support frames. The support frames are fixedly installed on the upper end of the vehicle frame through the mounting components. Opening mechanisms are provided on both the left and right sides between the box body and the box lid. A damping support component is assembled between the box body and the box lid.

[0006] The opening mechanism includes a lock cylinder and a rack. The lock cylinder is assembled on the left and right sides of the box body. Adjustment grooves are provided on both sides of the box body. The rotating end of the lock cylinder is located inside the adjustment groove. The rack is slidably assembled inside the adjustment groove. A half gear is fixedly provided on the rotating end of the lock cylinder. The half gear meshes with the rack. The box body has a hinge groove connected to the adjustment groove. A C-shaped block is fixedly provided on the inner side of the box cover. An L-shaped locking pin is fixedly provided on the upper end of the rack. A locking groove matching the L-shaped locking pin is provided on the lower side of the C-shaped block. The L-shaped locking pin is slidably and rotatably assembled inside the locking groove.

[0007] Preferably, the damping support assembly includes two brackets, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the housing and the cover, respectively, and the other ends of the two brackets are connected in a damped rotatable manner.

[0008] Preferably, a stepped circular block is fixedly provided at the front end of the rear bracket, and a rotating groove is provided on the front bracket to match the rotation of the stepped circular block. A damping rubber ring is fixedly provided inside the rotating groove, and the damping rubber ring matches the damping rotation of the stepped circular block.

[0009] Preferably, the hinge groove is located inside the housing, and the opening of the C-shaped block faces outward from the housing.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes a mounting block that is slidably mounted on the support frame. A locking element is provided between the mounting block and the support frame. The mounting block is fixedly mounted on the support frame by the locking element. An L-shaped convergent locking block that matches the vehicle frame is fixedly provided at the lower end of the mounting block.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting block has a groove in the middle, and the vehicle frame slides and matches the groove from left to right.

[0012] Preferably, the locking component includes a knob and a frosted strip. The upper end of the mounting block has a threaded groove connected to the sliding groove. The lower end of the knob is fixedly provided with a threaded rod, which is threadedly rotatably assembled into the threaded groove. The frosted strip is fixedly provided at the lower end of the threaded rod. The upper and lower sides of the support frame are provided with strip-shaped frosted locking grooves. The frosted strip matches the upper strip-shaped frosted locking groove. The lower end of the mounting block has an abutment groove. An abutment block is slidably assembled inside the abutment groove. The upper end of the abutment block is fixedly provided with a top block that penetrates the lower side of the mounting block. The upper end of the top block is fixedly provided with a pusher that matches the lower strip-shaped frosted locking groove.

[0013] The benefits of this invention are as follows: 1. By unlocking the lock cylinders on both sides, the lid can be opened from either side. If there are obstructions on one side of the vehicle, or if it is inconvenient to stand, the user can open the lid from the other side, making it easier to access the luggage inside the box. Moreover, compared to lids that open from both sides with the middle of the lid as the hinge point, this lid opens to a greater extent. Even if the height of the luggage is similar to the height of the box plus the lid, the middle of the lid will not obstruct the access to or storage of the luggage. 2. The lock cylinders on both sides of the box can be opened simultaneously. This allows the lid to be fully lifted and the two brackets to be rotated so that the lid is positioned on the side of the box, making the lid fully open. This makes it easier for the user to check and retrieve luggage, and also makes it easier for the user to arrange the luggage. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 9, a vehicle luggage box of the present invention includes a vehicle frame 1, a box body 11, and a box cover 12. Support frames 13 are fixedly provided on the front and rear sides of the lower end of the box body 11. Mounting components are fixedly provided on both sides of the support frames 13. The support frames 13 are fixedly mounted on the upper end of the vehicle frame 1 via the mounting components. Opening mechanisms are provided on both the left and right sides between the box body 11 and the box cover 12. A damping support assembly is assembled between the box body 11 and the box cover 12. The damping support assembly includes two brackets 21, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the box body 11 and the box cover 12, respectively. 2. On the inner side, the other ends of the two brackets 21 are connected by damping rotation. The front end of the rear bracket 21 is fixedly provided with a stepped circular block 22. The front bracket 21 is provided with a rotating groove 23 that matches the rotation of the stepped circular block 22. The stepped circular block 22 can prevent the front bracket 21 from detaching from the rear bracket 21. A damping rubber ring 24 is fixedly provided inside the rotating groove 23. The damping rubber ring 24 can prevent the two brackets 21 from rotating freely. The damping rubber ring 24 can provide support for the box cover 12. The damping rubber ring 24 matches the damping rotation of the stepped circular block 22.

[0031] like Figure 2-4 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the opening mechanism includes a lock cylinder 14 and a rack 15. The lock cylinder 14 is assembled on the left and right sides of the housing 11. Adjustment grooves 141 are provided on both the left and right sides of the housing 11. The rotating end of the lock cylinder 14 is located inside the adjustment groove 141. The rack 15 is slidably assembled inside the adjustment groove 141. A half gear 142 is fixedly provided on the rotating end of the lock cylinder 14. The half gear 142 meshes with the rack 15. The rotation of the half gear 142 can drive the rack 15 to move left and right, thereby enabling the L-shaped lock to open. Pin 162 disengages from or enters the locking groove 163. The housing 11 has a hinge groove 16 connected to the adjustment groove 141. A C-shaped block 161 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the cover 12. The hinge groove 16 is opened on the inner side of the housing 11. The opening of the C-shaped block 161 faces the outer side of the housing 11. An L-shaped locking pin 162 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the rack 15. A locking groove 163 matching the L-shaped locking pin 162 is opened on the lower side of the C-shaped block 161. The L-shaped locking pin 162 is slidably and rotatably assembled on the inner side of the locking groove 163.

[0032] like Figure 10-11As shown, the mounting assembly includes a mounting block 31, which is slidably mounted on the support frame 13. A groove 33 is provided in the middle of the mounting block 31, and the vehicle frame 1 slides and matches the groove 33. A locking element is provided between the mounting block 31 and the support frame 13, and the mounting block 31 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 13 by the locking element. An L-shaped converging locking block 32 matching the vehicle frame 1 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the mounting block 31. The locking element includes a knob 34 and a frosted strip 35. A threaded groove 341 connected to the groove 33 is provided at the upper end of the mounting block 31, and a threaded groove 341 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the knob 34. A threaded rod 342 is threaded and rotated in a threaded groove 341. A frosted strip 35 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the threaded rod 342. The support frame 13 has strip-shaped frosted locking grooves 343 on both the upper and lower sides. The frosted strip 35 matches the upper strip-shaped frosted locking groove 343. The mounting block 31 has an abutment groove 36 at the lower end. An abutment block 361 is slidably installed inside the abutment groove 36. A top block 362 that penetrates the lower side of the mounting block 31 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the abutment block 361. A pusher 363 that matches the lower strip-shaped frosted locking groove 343 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the top block 362.

[0033] When the user uses this device, they insert the key into the lock cylinder 14 and turn it. The rotating end of the lock cylinder 14 rotates accordingly. Since the half gear 142 is fixedly mounted on the rotating end of the lock cylinder 14 and meshes with the rack 15, the rotation of the rotating end of the lock cylinder 14 causes the half gear 142 to drive the rack 15 to move. The movement of the rack 15 causes the L-shaped locking pin 162, which is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the rack 15, to slide out of the locking groove 163 of the C-shaped block 161, thereby releasing the fixation between one side of the box cover 12 and the box body 11. The other side of the box cover 12 is rotated by the L-shaped locking pin 162 and the locking groove 163. Therefore, at this time, the user... The lid 12 can be rotated and opened. The lid 12 opens to a large extent and will not obstruct the retrieval of items inside the box 11. The operation method of opening the lid 12 on the other side is the same. The advantage of being able to open from both sides is that if there is an obstruction on one side of the vehicle body or it is inconvenient to stand, the user can open the lid 11 from the other side, which makes it convenient for the user to retrieve the luggage inside the box 11. Moreover, compared with the lid 12 that opens from both sides with the middle of the lid 12 as the hinge point, the lid 12 opens to a large extent. Even if the height of the luggage is similar to the height of the box 11 plus the height of the lid 12, the middle of the lid 12 will not obstruct the retrieval and storage of the luggage.

[0034] Furthermore, this device can be used with the lid 12 fully open, such as... Figure 8 As shown, by unlocking the lock cylinders 14 on both sides of the suitcase 11, the lid 12 can be fully lifted and the two brackets 21 can be rotated so that the lid 12 is located on the side of the suitcase, so that the lid 12 is in a fully open state. This makes it easier for users to check and take out their luggage, and also makes it easier for users to arrange their luggage.

[0035] When this device is installed on the vehicle frame 1, the L-shaped gathering locking block 32 frames the vehicle frame 1 by sliding the mounting block 31 left and right. Then, the knob 34 is rotated. Since the threaded rod 342 fixed in the western section of the knob 34 is threaded and matched with the threaded groove 341, the rotation of the knob 34 can cause the abrasive strip 35 to move downward and push the support frame 13. Since the push bar 363, the top block 362 and the abutment block 361 are fixedly connected from top to bottom, the downward movement of the support frame 13 in the slide groove 33 can push the push bar 363 downward, and finally cause the abutment block 361 to move downward. The abutment block 361 and the L-shaped gathering locking block 32 clamp the support frame 13, thereby achieving the effect of quickly fixing the box 11. The installation and disassembly of the box 11 are very convenient.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
