Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle external storage technology, and in particular to a dual-purpose magnetically compatible module for both internal and external storage, featuring conversion between internal storage and external attachment, magnetic power supply via side wall contacts, and universal three-point attachment. Background Technology

[0002] As in-vehicle storage scenarios extend to both inside and outside the vehicle, the demand for flexible deployment of storage modules is increasing. Existing external in-vehicle solutions mainly suffer from the following problems: (1) Dead external attachment without power: The existing rear external attachment box and bracket are purely mechanical external attachments. The module has no electrical interface. The lighting, cooling and other loads in the module cannot be powered when it is attached. (2) Single purpose, not dual purpose: Existing external parts can only be attached to the outside of the vehicle, and internal storage parts can only be used inside the box. The same module cannot be switched between storage and external states; (3) Dedicated mounting points: Existing mounting structures are bound to specific vehicle frames or dedicated bases, resulting in poor vehicle versatility and laborious loading and unloading of large mechanisms such as swing-off rear bases; (4) Driving safety hazards: Existing external parts are prone to loosening under driving vibration, and there are no anti-theft measures after parking.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a dual-purpose magnetically compatible module that can be used for both internal storage and external attachment, magnetically compatible power supply in external attachment mode, and universal three-point attachment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a magnetically compatible module that can be used both inside and outside the enclosure, in order to solve the technical problems of existing technologies such as fixed external attachment without power, single-purpose and not dual-purpose, dedicated attachment points, and driving safety hazards.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A dual-purpose magnetically compatible module for both internal and external mounting in a vehicle enclosure includes a module body, a dual-purpose mounting lock, a magnetically compatible power supply component, a universal mounting structure, and an anti-loosening and anti-theft structure. The dual-purpose mounting lock has a storage position and an external mounting position: in the storage position, the module is mounted inside a standardized storage unit, receiving vertical shear; in the external mounting position, it is mounted at an external mounting point on the vehicle, receiving axial tension, providing two force paths with the same lock. The magnetically compatible power supply component is compatible with the specifications of the magnetic conductive contacts on the side wall of the standardized storage unit, receiving power when mounted on the side of the unit, maintaining a charged state when the module is externally mounted. The universal mounting structure includes three mounting points: the side of the unit, the back of the seat, and the inside of the tailgate. The anti-loosening and anti-theft structure includes an elastic locking component and an anti-theft lock.

[0006] The preferred technical solutions of the present invention are as described in claims 2 to 10: the flip-up locking plate is as described in claim 2; the gold-plated layer of the magnetic male connector and the load circuit are as described in claim 3; the hanging strap and the dovetail insert are as described in claim 4; the spring pin and the mechanical lock cylinder are as described in claim 5; the streamlined guide surface is as described in claim 6; the housing material is as described in claim 7; the partition plate is as described in claim 8; the locking force and full load are as described in claim 9; and the storage station size is as described in claim 10. The dual-purpose conversion method is as described in claim 11. Embodiments one to four in the specific embodiments respectively provide implementation methods for the above solutions.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: 1. In the external state, the module draws power from the contact point on the side wall of the unit via a magnetically compatible power-gathering component, and the external module remains energized, which is different from a dead external module without an electrical interface; 2. The same locking component can be converted between a storage station and an external mounting station, allowing for two different force paths and making one box serve two purposes; 3. The unit can be universally attached at three points: the side of the unit, the back of the seat, and the inside of the tailgate. It does not require a special base and is easy to install and remove. 4. Elastic locking components prevent loosening during driving and anti-theft locks prevent theft when parking; streamlined airflow surface reduces external wind resistance. 5. The above features form a synergistic effect: dual-use conversion is the core of the form, compatible power supply is the guarantee of live power, universal connection is the extension of the scenario, and anti-loosening and anti-theft is the bottom line of safety. The four constitute a closed loop of "dual-use → live power → universal → safety", rather than a simple superposition of features. Attached Figure Description

[0010] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the module body (500) is injection molded from PP-TPE composite material with a wall thickness of 2 mm and a full load weight not exceeding 10 kg. The dual-purpose hook-and-lock component (510) is a flip-up locking plate located on the side wall of the module body (500): when flipped to the storage position, it is inserted and locked with the hook groove on the inner wall of the standardized storage unit, and the locking plate bears shear loads vertically; when flipped to the external hanging position, it is inserted and locked with the hook seat at the external hanging point, and the locking plate bears tensile loads along the hanging axis. The same locking component has two positions and two force paths, and the locking force is not less than 12 Newtons.

[0011] like Figure 3 As shown, the magnetically compatible power-generating component (520) is located on the side wall of the module body (500), including a magnetic male connector and a conductive gold-plated contact surface. It is compatible with the specifications of the magnetic female connector on the side wall of the standardized storage unit, and the concave and convex joints provide conductive connection. When the module body (500) is externally attached to the side of the unit, it draws power. The built-in load circuit (lighting strip) draws power through the magnetically compatible power-generating component (520), and remains energized in the externally attached state. When in the storage position, the magnetically compatible power-generating component (520) contacts the power supply contacts inside the unit to draw power.

[0012] like Figure 4 As shown, the first hook-up part (531) hooks onto the side of the standardized storage unit; the second hook-up part (532) is a hook-up strap and a buckle that wraps around the seat back; the third hook-up part (533) is a dovetail plate that inserts into the inner hanging plate of the tailgate. The elastic locking element (541) is a spring pin that pops out to the limit after locking and will not loosen during driving vibration; the anti-theft lock (542) is a mechanical lock cylinder that cannot be unlocked after locking.

[0013] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, in the external state, the windward surface of the module body (500) is a streamlined guide surface (550), which arches and transitions along the driving direction to reduce wind resistance and wind noise; in the storage state, the external dimensions of the module body (500) are smaller than the internal net dimensions of the unit, and it is placed in a standardized storage unit to accompany the vehicle. The storage space is divided into storage compartments by a partition plate (501).

[0014] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
