[0058] Several exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that elements not essential for understanding the invention may be omitted from the drawings for ease of illustration and understanding. In the drawings, the same reference numerals may denote the same parts or parts that function identically. Numerous specific details, such as examples of specific parts, devices, and methods, are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that not all of these specific details are necessarily required. The exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limiting.

[0059] Figures 1 to 4 The front of a motor vehicle 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in different perspective views. Currently, the motor vehicle 100 is a purely electric passenger vehicle. Needless to say, other types of motor vehicles, such as those with a rear-mounted internal combustion engine, are also possible. The motor vehicle 100 has a front engine compartment 101 equipped with a pivotally openable and closable hood 102. Figures 1 to 4 In the middle, the front hood 102 is opened to allow observation of the interior of the forward engine compartment 101. A forward trunk 103 is located within the forward engine compartment 101. Figure 1 In the middle, the front trunk 103 is closed, and the cover assembly 10 closes the upward-opening trunk opening of the trunk body 20. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the middle, the front trunk 103 is open, and the cover assembly 10 has been flipped open, thus reaching the storage space of the trunk 20. Figure 4 In this configuration, the cover assembly 10 has been separated from the housing 20 and is placed in an unfolded state, serving as a table on the ground 30. The tabletop, formed by the cover plate 1 of the cover assembly 10, is supported on the ground 30 by a support mechanism 19. For example, in one exemplary application scenario, food stored in the storage space of the housing 20 is removed from the housing 20 and then placed on the tabletop formed by the cover plate 1 of the cover assembly 10 in its unfolded state. In another exemplary application scenario, the cover assembly 10 in its unfolded state can be used as a child's seat, where the cover plate 1 serves as a seat.

[0060] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the housing 20 can be constructed in a generally cuboid shape, including a bottom, a surrounding peripheral wall, and an upwardly opening. The bottom and peripheral wall enclose and define a storage space within the housing, which is accessible through the open opening. The housing 20 has a surrounding flange 24 at the opening. A plurality of mounting holes 22 are distributed on the flange 24, by means of which the housing 20 can be securely fastened to the front engine compartment 101 of the vehicle 100. In an exemplary embodiment, a total of four mounting holes 22 can be arranged generally symmetrically in the regions of two opposing side walls. Two hinge holes 21 can be provided on the flange 24 in the region of a third side wall for detachably connecting the cover assembly 10 to the housing 20. Finally, a locking protrusion 23 may be provided in the area of ​​the fourth side wall opposite the third side wall. This locking protrusion 23 can work in conjunction with the manually operable latch 3 of the cover assembly 10 to lock the cover assembly 10 onto the body 20 when the front trunk 103 is closed.

[0061] The support mechanism 19 of the cover assembly 10 can switch between a retracted state and an unfolded state relative to the cover 1, in which the support mechanism 19 can support the cover 1. Figure 5 In the middle, support structure 19 is in a retracted state. Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the middle, the support mechanism is in the deployed state. When the front trunk 103 is closed, the support mechanism 19, in its retracted state, hardly affects the storage capacity of the trunk 20.

[0062] The support mechanism 19 may include a plurality of legs 2, currently including four legs 2. These legs 2 can switch between a retracted state and an unfolded state relative to the cover plate 1. In the retracted state, these legs 2 can rest against the inside of the cover plate 1. In the unfolded state, these legs 2 stand upright from the inside of the cover plate 1 and can collectively support the cover plate 1. In an exemplary embodiment, each leg 2 is pivotally connected to the cover plate 1 at one of its first ends 13 and is releasably connected to the cover plate 1 at its second end 11 opposite to the first end. Each leg 2 can switch from the retracted state to the unfolded state when its second end 11 is detached from the cover plate 1, and can switch back from the unfolded state to the retracted state. For the retracted state, each leg 2 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 6 provided on the cover plate 1 for releasably receiving the second end 11 of the leg 2 in the retracted state. The second end 11 of the leg 2 can be pressed into the snap-fit ​​groove 6 by overcoming a predetermined resistance. Similarly, the second end 11 of the leg 2 can be pulled out of the latching slot 6 when the predetermined resistance is overcome. For the unfolded state, each leg 2 may be provided with a stop 5 provided on the cover plate 1 to limit the unfolded state of the leg 2, wherein the leg 2 rests against the stop 5 in the unfolded state.

[0063] These legs 2 can be arranged in pairs; specifically, four legs 2 can form two pairs. In a corresponding pair of legs 2, the first end 13 of the first leg, the stop 5 for the first leg, and the snap-fit ​​groove 6 for the second leg are arranged adjacent to each other 25 in the first region of the cover plate 1, and the first end 13 of the second leg, the stop 5 for the second leg, and the snap-fit ​​groove 6 for the first leg are arranged adjacent to each other in the second region 26 of the cover plate 1, with the first region 25 and the second region 26 spaced apart. Advantageously, as by Figure 4 As shown, the main length sections 12 of the first and second legs extend parallel to each other and rest against the inside of the cover plate 1 in the retracted state. The first end 13 and the second end 11 of each leg 2 can be bent relative to the main length section 12.

[0064] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the cover assembly 10 may have a hinge device 8 for establishing a detachable connection between the cover 1 and the body 20 of the front trunk 103. The hinge device 8 is disposed on the cover 1 and is capable of being connected to and disconnected from the body 20. The hinge device 8 can switch between a first state (or engaged state) connected to the body 20 and a second state (or disengaged state) disconnected from the body 20. For this purpose, the hinge device 8 may be equipped with a slider 16 disposed in the cover 1, which allows the hinge device 8 to switch between the first and second states by moving the slider 16.

[0065] Therefore, the cover plate 1 can have a receiving groove 4, particularly a receiving groove 4 with a T-shaped cross-section, and the slider 16, particularly a T-shaped slider 16, is movably received in the receiving groove. The direction of movement of the slider 16 in the receiving groove 4 is... Figure 10 and Figure 11 The slider 16 is indicated by a double-headed arrow P. The slider 16 may have a central section 41 and two end sections 42 on either side of the central section 41, descending relative to it. The two end sections 42 of the slider 16 are received in two side recesses of the receiving groove 16, and the central section 41 of the slider 16 protrudes from the receiving groove 4, allowing the user to touch and press the outer surface of the central section 41, thus moving the slider 16 within the receiving groove 4. The slider 16 also has two inclined surfaces 43, thereby enabling the slider 16 to manipulate the hinge device 8, allowing the hinge device 8 to switch between an engaged state and a disengaged state.

[0066] The hinge device 8 may include two opposing rods 15, each rod 15 having a slider 16 actuating at one free end and a hinge pin 33 at the other free end, which can interact with a hinge hole 21 in the body 20 of the front trunk 103. It goes without saying that the hinge pin 33 and hinge hole 21 can be arranged in reverse; in other words, the body 20 may have a hinge pin 33, and the hinge device 8, more specifically, the two rods 15, may have hinge holes 21.

[0067] Each lever 15 may have a first segment 31 and a second segment 32 connected to the first segment 31 at an angle, particularly perpendicularly. The free ends of the first segments 31 of the two levers 15 are opposite each other and can be jointly manipulated by the slider 16. For this purpose, the free end of each first segment 31 may have an end piece 34, which may have an inclined surface 35. The two inclined surfaces 43 of the slider 16 can slide against the inclined surfaces 35 of the two end pieces 34 to convert the movement of the slider 16 into the separation or opposing movement of the two levers 15. The free end of the second segment 32 of each lever 15 may have a hinge pin 33. The hinge pin 33 may extend parallel to the first segment 31.

[0068] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 as well as Figures 13 to 16 As shown, the cover plate 1 may have a first guide 14 for a first rod segment 31 of each rod 15 and a second guide 18 for a hinge pin 33 of each rod 15. The first guide 14 and the second guide 18 movably hold the corresponding rod 15 on the cover plate 1. The first rod segment 31 may pass through a receiving hole in the first guide 14 and be movable along the receiving hole. The hinge pin 33 may pass through a receiving hole in the second guide 18 and be movable along the receiving hole. The hinge device 8 may be equipped with a return spring 17 for pre-tensioning the hinge device 8 toward an engaged state. Currently, a return spring 17 may be provided on the first rod segment 31 of each rod 15, which is connected on one side to the corresponding rod 15 and on the other side to the corresponding first guide 14.

[0069] Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 Displays the engagement state of hinge device 8.

[0070] In such Figure 11 In the indicated state, slider 16 rests against the wall of receiving groove 4 along the direction of movement (as indicated by the double-headed arrow P), spaced apart from the end pieces 34 of the two rods 15 that extend into the receiving groove. At this time, as... Figure 14 As shown, under the action of the return spring 17, the two hinge pins 33 remain engaged in the two hinge holes 21 of the housing 20.

[0071] When the slider 16 is moved toward the hinge device 8, the two inclined surfaces 43 of the slider 16 first contact the inclined surfaces 35 of the two end pieces 34 and then slide against each other, forcing the two rods 15 to separate, causing the two hinge pins 33 to be pulled out of the two hinge holes 21, as... Figure 16 As shown. Now, the slider 16 is inserted between the two end pieces 34, the hinge device 8 is in the disengaged state, and the cover assembly 10 can be removed from the housing 20. After removing the cover assembly 10, the support mechanism 19 of the cover assembly 10 can be switched from the retracted state to the position shown. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The unfolded state shown allows the cover assembly 10 to be used as a table.

[0072] The cover assembly 10, which serves as the table, can be switched from the unfolded state to the retracted state again. Then, by manipulating the slider 16, the two hinge pins 33 retract into the corresponding second guides 18. Next, the cover assembly 10 can be placed on the housing 20. Then, by releasing the slider 16, the two hinge pins 33 of the hinge device 8 can reconnect with the two hinge holes 21 of the housing 20 under the action of the return spring 17.

[0073] Advantageously, the cover plate 1 can be integrally made of plastic. In another embodiment, the cover plate 1 may include a base made of plastic and a robust surface layer applied to the base. The surface layer may, for example, be a layer of wood paneling.

[0074] As an option, the cover assembly 10 may have a surrounding seal 7 disposed on the inner side of the cover 1, the seal 7 sealing between the cover 1 and the surrounding flange 24 of the housing 20 when the cover assembly 10 closes the housing 20.

[0075] As an alternative, the cover assembly 10 may have a manually operable latch 3, by means of which the cover 1 can be locked onto the locking protrusion 23 of the housing 20.

[0076] As an alternative, the cover plate 1 may have reinforcing members 9, particularly interlaced reinforcing ribs, on its inner side to strengthen the cover plate 1. This would enable the cover plate 1 to have increased load-bearing capacity.

[0077] Figure 17 A schematic diagram of a support leg 50 of a support mechanism according to another embodiment of the invention is shown. The support mechanism may include two such support legs 50, which are arranged opposite each other and connected to the inside of the cover plate 1. Specifically, each support leg 50 may be U-shaped and connected, for example, hinged to the inside of the cover plate 1 at its two free ends 51. Each support leg 50 can substantially rest against the inside of the cover plate 1 in a retracted state and stand upright from the inside of the cover plate 1 in an unfolded state. The two support legs 50 jointly support the cover plate 1, such that the cover plate 1, as a tabletop or seat, has a predetermined height from the ground. Advantageously, the two side legs of each support leg 50 may each include two telescopically adjustable leg segments 52, 53, and thus the support height of the respective support leg 50 can be adjusted. Relatively soft, non-slip support bodies 54 may be additionally provided at the two corners of each support leg 50. Therefore, in the unfolded state, the total of four support bodies 54 of the support mechanism are in contact with the ground, and the cover assembly that constitutes a table or stool can be placed stably on the ground, and the cover as a table or seat can have good load-bearing capacity.
