Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a glove box structure and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The glove box is one of the main functional components of the dashboard assembly. It is often opened and closed during use and is mainly used to store items. After opening, the entire internal surface is exposed to the consumer's sight. If there are any defects, it will affect the user's subjective evaluation of the vehicle. Therefore, the internal surface quality of the glove box is usually used as one of the evaluation indicators of vehicle quality.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, the glove box of a vehicle on the existing market generally includes an outer cover plate 400 and a box body 100, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the cover plate 400 is welded to the box body 100 through the welding ribs 220 on the outer surface of the box body, thereby forming a glove box assembly. The welding ribs are arranged on the flange 200 of the box body as part of the box body structure. Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the flange 200 is usually arranged on the outer wall of the box body and connected to the box body through a connecting structure 500. The opening of the box body 100 facing the cover plate 400 is defined as a seal. In addition, an opening 120 is provided on the side adjacent to the seal. The opening 120 is an entrance and exit for placing items. The outermost plane of the seal is the seal surface 110; the seal is covered by the cover plate to form an inner cavity of the glove box for placing items. The connecting structure 500 connects the flange 200 to the lower position of the edge of the seal surface 110 of the box body 100, so that the seal of the box body protrudes a certain height from the flange. During the production process, the box, connectors and flanges are injection molded. In order to prevent the appearance of the box from shrinking during the injection molding process, the thickness of the connecting structure part as the area where the rubber flows during the injection molding process should be reduced, resulting in the local wall thickness of the connecting structure being much smaller than the wall thickness of the box, and even the local wall thickness of the connecting structure is only 1mm. When the rubber flows through the connecting structure during the injection molding process, it is divided into two opposite directions, one direction forms a protruding sealing edge, and the other direction forms the outer wall structure of the box. Since the wall thickness of the connecting structure area suddenly decreases, the rubber flows through a small area and flows toward opposite sides at the same time to form the box wall, and impact stress is generated at the diversion point, resulting in stress marks on the inner wall surface of the box near the connecting structure. When the glove box is opened, users can easily find the poor appearance. The stress marks on the surface of the product greatly reduce the quality of the vehicle.

[0004] Therefore, the existing situation and technology still need to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a glove box structure and a vehicle to solve the problem in the prior art that stress marks are easily generated on the inner wall surface of the box, resulting in a poor appearance of the glove box and thus greatly reducing the quality of the vehicle.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides a glove box structure, comprising: a box body;

[0008] A flange, the flange protruding on the outer side of the outer wall of the box body;

[0009] A cover plate, which is connected to the box body and covers the flange;

[0010] The flange is connected to the box body through a bent portion, one end of the bent portion is connected to the edge end of the sealing surface of the box body and is flush with the sealing surface, and the other end is connected to the flange.

[0011] According to the above technical means, the flange is connected to the edge end of the sealing surface of the box body through the bend, so that during the molding process, the rubber is guided by the bend, and thus passes through the area where the flange is located and enters the area where the outer wall of the box body is located, thereby forming the flange, the bend and the box body. The rubber flows from the end of the sealing surface of the box body to the entire box body area, so that the rubber can only flow in one direction, so that during the molding process, there is no diversion and no impact stress is generated. It is avoided that the rubber flows in two opposite directions during the molding process and generates impact stress at the diversion point, resulting in stress marks on the inner wall surface of the box body near the connection structure.

[0012] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the flange includes: a support plate body, the support plate body and the outer wall surface of the box body are arranged at a predetermined angle;

[0013] The bending portion includes: a first bent plate, one end of which is connected to one end of the support plate body toward the box body, and the other end of the first bent plate is extended toward the cover plate;

[0014] The second bent plate is connected to one end of the first bent plate facing the cover plate and the other end is connected to the edge end of the sealing surface of the box body.

[0015] According to the above technical means, by setting the bending portion into a bending structure of a first bent plate and a second bent plate, the flange set at a predetermined angle is stably connected to the edge end of the sealing surface of the box body. The first bent plate and the second bent plate only extend toward one path, so that the rubber in the molding process flows smoothly to the edge end position of the box body. Through the structure of the first bent plate and the second bent plate, only one rubber flow path is formed, thereby greatly reducing the stress in the rubber flow process and effectively avoiding the generation of stress marks.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the wall thickness of the first bent plate is the same as that of the second bent plate.

[0017] According to the above technical means, the wall thickness of the second bent plate and the first bent plate is set to be the same, so as to ensure that the thickness of the entire bent portion is consistent, so that the structural strength of each area of ​​the entire bent portion is consistent, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the bent portion, enhancing the bearing capacity of the bent portion, and preventing it from breaking easily.

[0018] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the first bent plate has the same wall thickness as an end of the flange facing the bent portion;

[0019] The second bent plate has the same wall thickness as the edge end of the box body.

[0020] According to the above technical means, since the second bent plate is connected to the end of the outer wall of the box body, the T-shaped connection structure at the connection is avoided, and the appearance shrinkage effect is not caused. Therefore, the wall thickness of the first bent plate, the wall thickness of the second bent plate, and the wall thickness of one end of the flange and the wall thickness of the box body are set to be the same or similar, so that the connection between the bent portion, the flange and the box body is more stable and not easy to break, thereby greatly reducing the risk of the flange falling off.

[0021] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the wall thickness of the bending portion is 2-3 mm.

[0022] According to the above technical means, the thickness of the bent part is made greater than the thickness of the existing connection structure, so that the connection strength between the bent part, the flange and the box body is high, ensuring that the connection between the glove box body and the flange is more firm and reliable, and avoiding the flange from falling off during welding.

[0023] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the second bent plate protrudes from a surface of the flange facing the cover plate, and is spaced apart from the cover plate to form a gap;

[0024] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the gap is 0.4-0.6 mm.

[0025] According to the above technical means, the second bent plate is provided with a protruding flange, so that the flange located behind the sealing surface of the box body can be stably connected to the edge end of the sealing surface of the box body. In addition, the second bent plate and the cover plate are spaced apart so that when the cover plate and the sealing surface of the box body are welded, the cover plate is prevented from being welded to the second bent plate, which can effectively prevent mis-welding.

[0026] In combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the flange further comprises: a welding rib, which is disposed on a surface of the support plate body facing the cover plate and is used to weld and fix the cover plate;

[0027] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the welding rib has an interference section at one end facing the cover plate, and the length of the interference section is 1-1.5 mm.

[0028] According to the above technical means, the welding ribs provide welding positions with the cover plate, which facilitates the fixed connection of the box body, the flange and the cover plate. In addition, the welding ribs can also enhance the structural strength of the flange, increase the bearing capacity of the flange, and make the flange less likely to break. By arranging interference sections at the ends of the welding ribs, the welding strength during welding can be ensured.

[0029] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the flange further includes: an edge sealing plate, which is arranged at an end of the support plate body away from the bending portion and extends obliquely toward the cover plate.

[0030] According to the above technical means, the edge sealing plate is abutted against the cover plate, and the end of the cover plate and the end of the flange are sealed. The two are abutted and connected at the end, so that the flange and the cover plate are more firmly matched, thereby improving the stability of the structure.

[0031] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the box body, the flange and the bent portion are integrally formed.

[0032] According to the above technical means, the box body, flange and bent portion are formed into an integral structure through one-piece injection molding, which facilitates processing and improves production efficiency.

[0033] In a second aspect, the utility model further provides a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body and the glove box structure as described above, wherein the glove box structure is movably arranged on a dashboard assembly of the vehicle body.

[0034] The beneficial effects of a glove box structure and a vehicle provided by the utility model are at least that: by setting a bending portion to connect the flange and the end of the box body, during the production process, the rubber flows from the position of the end of the box body to the entire box body area, so that the rubber can only flow in one direction, so that during the molding process, there is no diversion, no impact stress is generated, and there are no stress marks on the product surface, thereby improving the appearance quality of the product.

[0045] refer to Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown in the structural diagram in the figure, the existing glove box structure is not only prone to surface stress marks, which greatly reduces the quality of the vehicle; but also the local wall thickness of the connection structure is much smaller than the wall thickness of the box body, and the local wall thickness of the connection structure is even only 1mm, which greatly weakens the strength of the connection structure. During welding, the connection structure is easy to break and cause the flange to fall off. Therefore, this solution proposes the following embodiments to solve the above problems.

[0046] Embodiment 1

[0047] This embodiment provides a glove box structure, which is used to be arranged on the dashboard assembly of a vehicle and is used to be opened or closed to store items. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment only improves the connection structure 500 in the prior art, so the structural diagram of this embodiment can refer to the prior art. Figure 1-Figure 6 structure to facilitate understanding of the structure of this embodiment.

[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, the glove box structure of this embodiment mainly includes: a box body 100, a flange 200, a bent portion 300 and a cover plate 400. For the convenience of structural description, the position description of the structure in this embodiment is made with reference to the direction of the glove box when in use: the side of the box body 100 facing the user is the front side, the side where the opening 120 of the box body 100 is located when it is opened is the upper side, the front side of the box body 100 (the side connected to the cover plate 400) forms a seal, and the outer surface of the seal is the sealing surface 110. The flange 200 is protrudingly arranged on the outer side of the outer wall of the box body 100, and the cover plate 400 is connected to the box body 100 and covers the flange 200. The box body 100 and the cover plate 400 are fixed by the flange 200, which improves the fixing stability of the cover plate 400 and makes it difficult for the cover plate 400 to fall off from the box body 100. The cover plate 400 is fixedly located at the front side of the box body 100, and covers and seals the seal on the front side of the box body 100, leaving only the opening 120 on the upper side of the box body 100, so as to facilitate the placement and removal of objects. The flange 200 in this embodiment is connected to the box body 100 through the bending portion 300, one end of the bending portion 300 is connected to the edge end of the sealing surface 110 of the box body 100 and is flush with the sealing surface 110, and the other end is connected to the flange 200. The flange 200 is connected to the edge end of the box body 100 through the bending portion 300, and the surface of the bending portion 300 facing the cover plate 400 is flush with the sealing surface 110 of the box body 100, so that during the molding process, the rubber material only has one directional flow path, thereby avoiding the stress problem caused by the rubber material diversion.

[0049] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the use principle and effect of the glove box structure in this embodiment are as follows: the flange 200 is connected to the edge end of the sealing surface 110 of the box body 100 through the bending portion 300 and is flush with the sealing surface 110, so that during the molding process, the rubber is guided by the bending portion 300, and thus passes through the area where the flange 200 is located and enters the area where the outer wall of the box body 100 is located, thereby forming the flange 200, the bending portion 300 and the box body 100. The rubber flows from the end of the sealing surface 110 of the box body 100 to the entire box body 100 area, so that the rubber can only flow in one direction, so that during the molding process, there is no diversion and no impact stress is generated. It is avoided that the rubber flows in two opposite directions during the molding process and generates impact stress at the diversion, resulting in stress marks on the inner wall surface of the box body 100 near the connection structure.

[0050] like Figure 7As shown, further, the flange 200 in this embodiment specifically includes: a support plate 210, which is located outside the outer wall of the box body 100 and extends away from the box body 100. The support plate 210 is arranged at a predetermined angle with the outer wall of the box body 100, and the angle can be in the range of 90°+ / -15°. With this predetermined angle, the support plate 210 can be expanded as much as possible to provide sufficient installation positions for the connection of the cover plate 400.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the bending portion 300 in this embodiment specifically includes: a first bent plate 310 and a second bent plate 320. One end of the first bent plate 310 is connected to one end of the support plate body 210 facing the sealing surface 110, and the other end is extended toward the cover plate 400; the first bent plate can be tilted with the support plate body 210 to produce a certain tilt angle, so as to facilitate demoulding during the production process. The second bent plate 320 is connected to one end of the first bent plate 310 facing the cover plate 400, and the other end is connected to the edge end of the box body 100. The second bent plate 320 is connected to the front end of the first bent plate 310, and the support plate body 210 is connected to the rear end of the first bent plate 310, so that the first bent plate 310 and the second bent plate 320 are connected to form a "┘"-shaped structure, and the support plate body 210 is stably fixed to the rear side of the air outlet surface of the box body 100 through the bending portion 300. By setting the bending portion 300 into a bending structure of a first bent plate 310 and a second bent plate 320, the flange 200 set at a predetermined angle is stably connected to the edge end of the sealing surface 110 of the box body 100. The first bent plate 310 and the second bent plate 320 extend only toward one path, so that the rubber in the molding process flows smoothly to the edge end position of the box body 100. Through the structure of the first bent plate 310 and the second bent plate 320, only one rubber flow path is formed, thereby greatly reducing the stress in the rubber flow process and effectively avoiding the generation of stress marks.

[0052] like Figure 7 As shown, further, in this embodiment, the wall thickness of the first bent plate 310 is the same as that of the second bent plate 320. The wall thickness of the second bent plate 320 and the first bent plate 310 is set to be the same, so as to ensure that the thickness of the entire bending portion 300 is consistent, so that the structural strength of each area of ​​the entire bending portion 300 is consistent. The structural strength of the bending portion 300 is enhanced, the bearing capacity of the bending portion 300 is enhanced, and it is not easy to break.

[0053] like Figure 7As shown, further, in this embodiment, the first bent plate 310 has the same wall thickness as the end of the flange 200 facing the bent portion 300, the upper and lower ends of the entire support plate body 210 have approximately the same thickness, and the first bent plate 310 has the same thickness as the upper end of the support plate body 210, so that the structural strengths of the first bent plate 310 and the support plate body 210 are close. The second bent plate 320 has the same wall thickness as the edge end of the box body 100, and the thickness of the first bent plate 310 is the same as the edge thickness of the sealing surface 110 of the box body 100, so that the structural strengths of the second bent plate 320 and the outer wall of the box body 100 are close. Since the second bent plate 320 is connected to the end of the outer wall of the box body 100, the T-shaped connection structure at the connection is avoided, and the appearance shrinkage effect will not be caused. Therefore, by setting the wall thickness of the first bent plate 310, the wall thickness of the second bent plate 320, the wall thickness of one end of the flange 200 and the wall thickness of the box body 100 to be the same or similar, the connection between the bent portion 300, the flange 200 and the box body 100 can be more stable and less likely to break, thereby greatly reducing the risk of the flange 200 falling off.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, further, the wall thickness of the bending portion 300 in this embodiment is 2-3 mm. That is, the wall thickness of the first bent plate 310 and the second bent plate 320 is approximately 2.5 mm. Compared with the 1 mm thickness of the existing connection structure, the thickness of the bending portion 300 in this embodiment is greater than the thickness of the existing connection structure, so that the connection strength between the bending portion 300, the flange 200 and the box body 100 is high, ensuring that the connection between the glove box box body 100 and the flange 200 is more firm and reliable, and preventing the flange 200 from falling off during welding.

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, further, in this embodiment, the second bent plate 320 protrudes from the surface of the flange 200 facing the cover plate 400, and is spaced apart from the cover plate 400. The second bent plate 320 protrudes and is connected to the support plate body 210 through the first bent plate 310, and the second bent plate 320 protrudes forward. By setting the second bent plate 320 protruding from the flange 200, the flange 200 located behind the sealing surface 110 of the box body 100 can be stably connected to the edge end of the sealing surface 110 of the box body 100. In addition, the second bent plate 320 is spaced apart from the cover plate 400, so that there is a gap when the cover plate 400 is welded to the sealing surface 110 of the box body 100, so as to avoid welding the cover plate 400 to the second bent plate 320, which can effectively prevent mis-welding.

[0056] In this embodiment, the gap between the second bent plate 320 and the cover plate 400 may be 0.4-0.6 mm, and specifically 0.5 mm, which can prevent the cover plate 400 from being welded to the bent portion 300 while minimizing the gap between the cover plate 400 and the bent portion 300, thereby preventing the connection between the cover plate 400 and the box body 100 from being too loose.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, further, the flange 200 in this embodiment also includes: welding ribs 220, which are arranged on the surface of the support plate body 210 facing the cover plate 400, and are used to weld and fix the cover plate 400. A plurality of welding ribs 220 can be arranged on the front surface of the support plate body 210, and the welding ribs 220 can be arranged crisscross on the surface of the support plate body 210. The welding ribs 220 provide welding positions with the cover plate 400, which facilitates the fixed connection of the box body 100, the flange 200 and the cover plate 400. In addition, the welding ribs 220 can also enhance the structural strength of the flange 200, increase the bearing capacity of the flange 200, and make the flange 200 not easy to break. The interference section 221 is provided at the end of the welding rib 220 to ensure the welding strength during welding.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, further, the end of the welding rib 220 facing the cover plate 400 in this embodiment has an interference section 221, and the length of the interference section 221 is 1-1.5 mm. Specifically, 1 mm can be used. When the interference section 221 with this length is welded with the cover plate 400, it is ensured that there is enough welding volume during welding, thereby ensuring the welding strength of the cover plate 400 and the welding rib 220.

[0059] like Figure 7 As shown, further, the flange 200 in this embodiment also includes an edge sealing plate 230, which is arranged at one end of the support plate body 210 away from the bent portion 300 and extends obliquely toward the cover plate 400. The edge sealing plate 230 is located at the lower end of the support plate body 210 and is arranged obliquely toward the front and lower sides. The edge sealing plate 230 abuts against the cover plate 400, and the end of the cover plate 400 and the end of the flange 200 are sealed, and the two are connected at the end, so that the flange 200 and the cover plate 400 are more firmly matched, and the stability of the structure is improved.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, further, the box body 100, the flange 200 and the bending portion 300 in this embodiment are integrally formed. Through injection molding, the box body 100, the flange 200 and the bending portion 300 form an integral structure, which is convenient for processing and improves production efficiency.

On the other hand, the flange and the end of the box body are connected by the bending part, and the wall thickness of the three is consistent without any change in wall thickness, which thickens the wall thickness of the bending part, making the connection between the box body and the flange more firm and reliable.
