Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a luggage compartment for a vehicle. This application also relates to a vehicle including such a luggage compartment. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicles typically include a trunk for storing items. The trunk's trim usually consists of panels such as a floor, support panels, and side panels. The side panels are positioned generally along the height of the vehicle to form the side walls of the trunk. The support panels are positioned adjacent to the inner surface of the side panels (i.e., the surface of the side panels facing the interior of the trunk) and serve to support the floor.

[0003] In some vehicles, the support panel also includes a panel portion spaced apart from the side panel along the width direction of the vehicle, thus forming a storage cavity between the panel portion and the side panel. When using the storage cavity, the user may push and / or pull the upper edge of this panel portion along the width direction of the vehicle. However, due to insufficient rigidity and strength of the upper edge, it is prone to deformation when pushed and / or pulled by the user, causing at least that panel portion of the support panel to deform or even be damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, a first aspect of this application provides a vehicle trunk. The trunk includes a horizontally arranged floor; a side panel disposed along the height direction of the vehicle; and a support plate, at least a portion of which is adjacent to the inner surface of the side panel and is adapted to support the floor; the support plate extends along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and includes a first plate portion spaced apart from the side panel along the width direction of the vehicle, forming a gap between the first plate portion and the side panel; wherein a first reinforcing rib extending along the longitudinal direction is formed at the upper edge of the first plate portion; the first reinforcing rib has a through hole extending along the longitudinal direction and its cross-section is closed.

[0005] In one embodiment, the first reinforcing rib protrudes from the upper edge of the first plate into the spacer.

[0006] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the first reinforcing rib has a first dimension along the height direction and a second dimension along the width direction, wherein the first dimension is larger than the second dimension.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first dimension is between 20 mm and 30 mm, and the second dimension is between 8 mm and 12 mm.

[0008] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the first reinforcing rib is constructed as a rough surface.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first plate portion has an outer surface facing the space, and a second reinforcing rib is provided on the outer surface of the first plate portion.

[0010] In one embodiment, the support plate has an inner surface facing the luggage compartment, and a support structure protruding into the luggage compartment is formed on the inner surface of the support plate, the support structure being adapted to support the floor.

[0011] In one embodiment, the support structure includes a first support structure and a second support structure positioned above the first support structure along the height direction.

[0012] In one embodiment, the lower surface of the second support structure is configured as a guide ramp adapted to guide the floorboards to be placed onto or removed from the first support structure.

[0013] In one embodiment, the support plate includes an end portion adjacent to the rear of the vehicle and a second plate portion adjacent to the first plate portion in a longitudinal direction; wherein a first connector is provided at the end portion and a second connector is provided on the outer surface of the second plate portion facing the side plate; the first connector and the second connector are adapted to connect with the side plate to mount the support plate on the side plate.

[0014] A second aspect of this application discloses a vehicle. This vehicle includes a luggage compartment according to the vehicle described above.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: According to the technical solution of this application, a first reinforcing rib is constructed at the upper edge of the first plate portion of the support plate, and the first reinforcing rib has a through hole extending in the longitudinal direction and a closed cross-section, which improves the bending resistance of the upper edge. When the upper edge is subjected to a thrust or tension force along the width direction of the vehicle, the upper edge is less prone to deformation, and thus the first plate portion is also less prone to deformation and damage.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] In this application, the term "inside" refers to the direction pointing to the inside of the suitcase; the term "outside" refers to the direction pointing to the outside of the suitcase.

[0044] Figure 1 A vehicle 1 according to one embodiment of this application is schematically shown. Figure 1 As shown, a luggage compartment 2 for storing items is constructed at the rear 101 of vehicle 1.

[0045] The following describes suitcase 2.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the luggage compartment 2 includes a floor 3 arranged horizontally, a side panel 4 arranged along the height direction Z of the vehicle 1, and a support plate 5 arranged along the height direction Z. The side panel 4 forms the side wall of the luggage compartment 2. The support plate 5 is arranged adjacent to the inner surface of the side panel 4 (i.e., the surface of the side panel 4 facing the luggage compartment 2). The support plate 5 is also arranged adjacent to the lower edge of the side panel 4 and serves to support the floor 3. It should be understood that the luggage compartment 2 has two side panels and two support plates. For simplicity, the technical solution of this application will be described below using only one side panel and one corresponding support plate as an example.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 The support plate 5 extends along the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle 1 and includes a first plate portion 51 and a second plate portion 52, which are adjacent to each other along the longitudinal direction X. For example, the first plate portion 51 is close to the opening of the trunk 2 (or close to the rear 101 of the vehicle 1), and the second plate portion 52 is away from the opening of the trunk 2 (or away from the rear 101 of the vehicle 1).

[0048] For example Figure 6 As shown, the support plate 5 also has an end portion 507 facing the rear portion 101 of the vehicle 1. A plurality of first connectors 501 are constructed at the end portion 507. A plurality of second connectors 502 are provided on the outer surface of the second plate portion 52 (i.e., the surface of the second plate portion 52 facing the side plate 4). These first connectors 501 and second connectors 502 are all connected to the side plate 4 to mount the support plate 5 onto the side plate 4. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, the side panel 4 includes a first connecting portion 41 extending along the width direction Y of the vehicle 1 and a second connecting portion 42 extending along the longitudinal direction X. A first connector 501 is connected to the first connecting portion 41, and a second connector 502 is connected to the second connecting portion 42. Of course, depending on the actual situation, the first connector and / or the second connector can also be connected to other structures of the luggage compartment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The first panel 51 and the side panel 4 are spaced apart along the width direction Y of the vehicle 1, thereby forming a space 201 that opens upward along the height direction Z between the first panel 51 and the side panel 4. The space 201 can be used as a storage cavity for placing items. For example, bottles or other items can be placed in the space. During vehicle operation, the first panel 51 and / or the side panel 4 limit the movement of items placed in the space 201, preventing significant shaking. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the side panel 4 has a recessed portion 401 that is recessed outward in the width direction Y at the opening near the trunk 2. The first panel portion 51 is directly opposite the recessed portion 401. In this way, the first panel portion 51 and the recessed portion 401 together form a partition space 201 (that is, the first panel portion 51 and the recessed portion 401 form the circumferential sidewall of the partition space 201). In addition, the partition space 201 is close to the opening of the trunk 2 (or close to the rear 101 of the vehicle 1) to facilitate the user to take and put items into the partition space 201.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A first reinforcing rib 514 extending in the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle 1 is provided at the upper edge 515 of the first plate portion 51 (i.e., the edge away from the floor 3). A through hole 516 extending in the longitudinal direction X is provided in the first reinforcing rib 514, and the cross-section of the first reinforcing rib 514 is a closed shape.

[0051] With this structure, the bending resistance of the upper edge 515 is improved after the first reinforcing rib 514 is provided at the upper edge 515 of the first plate portion 51. When the user applies a pushing or pulling force to the upper edge 515 along the width direction Y of the vehicle (for example, the user's hand holds the upper edge 515 and pushes or pulls the first plate portion 51 along the width direction Y), the upper edge 515 is not easily deformed, and consequently the first plate portion 51 is not easily deformed or damaged.

[0052] Furthermore, in some existing vehicles, a flange is constructed at the upper edge of the support plate as a reinforcing structure; however, the cross-section of this reinforcing structure is not closed. Compared to this flange-type reinforcing structure, the cross-section of the first reinforcing rib 514 of this application is closed (i.e., a box structure). Therefore, the bending resistance of the upper edge 515 reinforced by the first reinforcing rib 514 of this application is higher than that of the flange-reinforced upper edge in the prior art. Consequently, compared to the support plates in the prior art, the first plate portion 51 of the support plate 5 of this application can withstand greater thrust or tension without deformation or damage.

[0053] The first reinforcing rib 514 and the support plate 5 can be integrally injection molded to facilitate the manufacturing of the support plate 5. The through hole 516 reduces the wall thickness of the first reinforcing rib 514, preventing irregular shrinkage during injection molding that could negatively impact its quality. In one embodiment, the wall thickness of the first reinforcing rib 514 is between 2.5 mm and 3 mm. Of course, the wall thickness can be set to other values ​​depending on the actual situation. In one embodiment, the first reinforcing rib 514 can be formed by gas-assisted injection molding. Gas-assisted injection molding is well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be discussed further here. It should also be understood that the first reinforcing rib and the support plate can also be integrally molded in other ways, without limitation.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the first reinforcing rib 514 protrudes from the upper edge 515 of the first plate portion 51 into the space 201. Thus, the first reinforcing rib 514 is completely within the space 201. When the user takes items into the suitcase 2, they will not be obstructed by the first reinforcing rib 514, improving the user's experience.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the cross-section of the first reinforcing rib 514 has a first dimension along the height direction Z and a second dimension along the width direction Y, with the first dimension being larger than the second dimension. According to this structure, the first reinforcing rib 514 has a small dimension extending into the space 201 along the width direction Y, which reduces the encroachment of the first reinforcing rib 514 on the space 201, facilitating the user's placement of items within the space 201. The larger dimension of the first reinforcing rib 514 along the height direction Z results in a larger contact area between the user's hand and the first reinforcing rib 514 when the user's hand grips the upper edge 515 and the first reinforcing rib 514. This reduces the pressure on the hand, resulting in less pain and a better user experience.

[0056] In one embodiment, the first dimension is between 20mm and 30mm; the second dimension is between 8mm and 12mm. Of course, depending on the actual situation, the first and second dimensions can be other values, which will not be elaborated here.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the cross-section of the first reinforcing rib 514 is generally rectangular and annular. For example, the first reinforcing rib 514 includes a first wall 511, a second wall 512, and a third wall 513. The first wall 511 extends generally along the width direction Y of the vehicle 1 from the upper edge 515 of the first plate portion 51 into the spacer space 201. The second wall 512 extends downward along the height direction Z of the vehicle 1 (i.e., away from the opening of the spacer space 201) from the free end of the first wall 511 and is spaced apart from the first plate portion 51. The third wall 513 extends generally along the width direction Y of the vehicle 1 from the free end of the second wall 512 toward the first plate portion 51 and connects to the first plate portion 51. The second wall 512 is generally parallel to the first plate portion 51; the third wall 513 is generally parallel to the first wall 511. In this case, the first wall 511, the second wall 512, the third wall 513, and the corresponding portions of the first plate portion 51 together form the through hole 516 described above. The second wall 512 has the first dimension described above, and the third wall 513 and the first wall 511 have the second dimension described above.

[0058] In addition, depending on the actual situation, the first reinforcing rib can also be constructed with a cross-section of other shapes, such as circles, ellipses, other polygons, etc., without any restrictions.

[0059] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the connection between the first wall 511 and the second wall 512 is rounded, and the outer surface of the connection between the third wall 513 and the second wall 512 is also rounded (i.e., the cross-section of the first reinforcing rib 514 is generally a rounded rectangle), which also helps to improve the user's experience.

[0060] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the first reinforcing rib 514 is roughened. This prevents a slippery feeling when the user touches the first reinforcing rib 514, thereby improving the user experience. For example, the roughened surface can be formed by sandblasting the outer surface of the first reinforcing rib 514. Of course, the roughened surface can also be formed by creating patterns on the outer surface of the first reinforcing rib 514 using other processes. In other embodiments, the outer surface of the first plate portion 51, or even the entire surface of the support plate 5, can be roughened.

[0061] For example Figure 6 As shown, a second reinforcing rib 517 is provided on the outer surface of the first plate portion 51 facing the spacer space 201. The second reinforcing rib 517 increases the rigidity and strength of the first plate portion 51, which further helps to prevent the first plate portion 51 from deforming or being damaged when the upper edge 515 of the first plate portion 51 and / or other parts of the first plate portion 51 are subjected to force. In addition, the second reinforcing rib 517 is located within the spacer space 201 and is not easily seen or noticed by the user, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle 1.

[0062] Figure 6The diagram schematically shows that the second reinforcing rib 517 is mesh-like. In reality, the second reinforcing rib can also be constructed into other shapes depending on the actual situation. For example, the second reinforcing rib can be constructed to extend generally along the height direction of the vehicle or along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, a first support structure 503 and a second support structure 504 are constructed on the inner surface of the support plate 5 facing the luggage compartment 2. Both the first support structure 503 and the second support structure 504 protrude into the luggage compartment 2 and are used to support the floor 3. Furthermore, the second support structure 504 is positioned above the first support structure 503 along the height direction Z. The floor 3 can be positioned at a relatively low position inside the luggage compartment 2 via the first limiting structure 503 and at a relatively high position inside the luggage compartment 2 via the second limiting structure 504. This allows the height of the floor 3 inside the luggage compartment 2 to be adjusted according to actual conditions. It should be understood that, although... Figure 4 Two support structures 505 (i.e., the first support structure 503 and the second support structure 504) are schematically shown, but in practice, multiple support structures at different heights can be constructed on the support plate according to the actual situation.

[0064] For example Figure 4 As shown, the lower surface of the second support structure 504 (i.e., the surface near the first support structure 503) is configured as a guide ramp 506. When the floor 3 is placed onto the first support structure 503, the base plate 3 can be inserted obliquely into the space between the first support structure 503 and the second support structure 504 along the guide ramp 506, thereby setting the floor 3 onto the first support structure 503. When removing the floor 3 from the first support structure 503, the end of the floor 3 facing the rear 101 of the vehicle is first lifted, so that the floor 3 is in an inclined state consistent with the guide ramp 506. Then, the floor 3 is pulled obliquely upward along the guide ramp 506 from the space between the first support structure 503 and the second support structure 504, thereby removing the floor 3 from the first support structure 503. The angle of inclination of the guide ramp 506 relative to the horizontal direction can be determined as needed and is not limited here.

[0065] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
