[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the utility model and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the utility model described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0032] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment", "in another embodiment", "in yet another embodiment" or "in other embodiments", all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present invention.

[0033] The first embodiment of the utility model provides a glove box 10, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the glove box 10 is arranged on the dashboard of the vehicle. Specifically, the glove box 10 is arranged on the lower body 20 of the dashboard of the vehicle, where the lower body 20 of the dashboard is fixed on the dashboard reinforcement beam 30 and extends from the position of the driver's seat to the position of the co-driver's seat. Specifically, the lower body 20 of the dashboard has a space 20a, where the volume of the space 20a is greater than the volume of the glove box 10, so that the glove box 10 can be arranged on the lower body 20 of the dashboard and slide in the space 20a.

[0034] Furthermore, the glove box 10 includes a box assembly 1 with an opening 1a. The box assembly 1 here can be a single-layer structure, and of course can also adopt a double-layer structure. When the box assembly 1 adopts a double-layer structure, it has an inner box 11, and an outer shell 12 is arranged outside the inner box assembly 11. The surface size of the inner box 11 here can be smaller than the surface size of the outer shell 12, and the size of the space 20a here matches the size of the outer shell 12.

[0035] In order to facilitate the use of the driver and passengers, a box cover 2 is provided on the box assembly 1, and the box cover 2 can be rotated relative to the box assembly 1 to open or cover the opening 1a. The box cover 2 can be rotated relative to the lower edge of the box assembly 1, for example, and it can be rotated upward relative to the box assembly 1 to close the opening 1a or rotated downward to open the opening 1a.

[0036] In other embodiments, the box cover 2 is connected to the box body assembly 1 via a rotating structure, and the rotating structure here can be, for example, a rotating shaft arranged at the lower edge of the box body assembly 1, and the box cover 2 is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the rotating structure enables the box cover 2 to rotate relative to the box body assembly 1. Preferably, a limiting device can also be provided on the rotating structure, and the limiting device is used to limit the rotation angle of the box cover 2.

[0037] In addition, a locking device is provided between the box cover 2 and the box body assembly 1, so that when the box cover 2 closes the opening 1a, it can be locked with the box body assembly 1. The locking device is arranged relative to the rotating structure. For example, when the rotating structure is arranged at the lower edge of the box body assembly 1, the locking device can be arranged at the upper edge of the box body assembly 1, so that when the box cover 2 is rotated upward relative to the box body assembly 1 to close the opening 1a, the box cover 2 and the box body assembly 1 can be locked by the locking device.

[0038] In this embodiment, the glove box 10 can reciprocate in the space 20a. Further, the space 20a on the lower body 20 of the instrument panel extends along the width direction of the vehicle from the position corresponding to the co-pilot seat on the lower body 20 of the instrument panel to the middle of the lower body 20 of the instrument panel, so that the glove box 10 can be moved to the position corresponding to the co-pilot seat (such as Figure 1 As shown) so that the passenger sitting in the front passenger seat can open or close the glove box 10, the glove box 10 can also be moved to the middle position of the body 20 under the instrument panel (as shown) Figure 3 As shown), so that the driver sitting in the driving seat can open or close the glove box 10.

[0039] Furthermore, a foot pedal 40 may be provided below the lower body 20 of the instrument panel. Here, the foot pedal 40 may be provided at a position corresponding to the co-pilot seat. When the glove box 10 can be moved to a position corresponding to the co-pilot seat, the foot pedal 40 is provided below the glove box 10. The foot pedal 40 is driven by a motor to extend or retract. For example, the foot pedal 40 is rotated toward the passenger to extend and away from the passenger to retract. For example, when the glove box 10 is moved to the middle position of the lower body 20 of the instrument panel, the foot pedal 40 may be driven by a motor to extend so as to facilitate use by the passenger sitting in the co-pilot seat. When the glove box 10 needs to be moved to a position corresponding to the co-pilot seat, the foot pedal 40 may be driven by a motor to retract in advance to avoid hindering the passenger from using the glove box 10.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to realize the sliding connection between the box assembly 1 and the instrument panel body 20, specifically, the instrument panel body 20 has an inner back panel 201, and a slide groove 203 is arranged on the inner back panel 201, and a slide rail 13 is arranged on the box back panel 15 of the box assembly 1, wherein the slide groove 203 here extends along the width direction of the vehicle, and the slide rail 13 can be accommodated in the slide groove 203, so that the glove box 10 is not only arranged on the lower body 20 of the instrument panel through the cooperation of the slide rail 13 and the slide groove 203, but the glove box 10 can also be moved along the extension direction of the slide groove 203 in the space 20a.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the movement of the glove box 10 in the space 20a, the instrument panel body 20 has an inner bottom plate 202, and a rolling member 14 is arranged at the bottom of the box assembly 1, wherein when the box assembly 1 adopts a double-layer structure, the rolling member 14 is particularly arranged at the two ends of the lower side of the shell 12, and the glove box 10 slides on the inner bottom plate 202 of the instrument panel lower body 20 through the rolling member 14, so that the glove box 10 can roll in the space 20a of the instrument panel lower body 20 through the rolling member 14, so as to enhance the sliding effect between the box assembly 1 and the instrument panel lower body 20. The rolling member 14 here can be, for example, a soft rubber wheel, so as to achieve a mute effect.

[0042] Thus, the cooperation between the rolling element 14 and the slide rail 13 not only enables the glove box 10 to be disposed in the space 20a of the under-instrument body 20, but also facilitates the glove box 10 to move to a designated position in the space 20a along the width direction of the vehicle.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the glove box 10 is moved to the position corresponding to the co-pilot seat, a storage box can also be set in the middle of the instrument panel lower body 20. At the same time, combined with other storage structures on the co-pilot instrument panel, the storage capacity of the main and co-pilot instrument panel positions can be greatly expanded; when the glove box 10 is moved to the middle position of the instrument panel lower body 20 in the space 20a along the vehicle width direction, both the driver in the driving seat and the passenger in the co-pilot seat can easily open and close the glove box 10, making it more convenient to use the glove box 10; in addition, the position on the instrument panel lower body 20 corresponding to the co-pilot seat can have space to expand the passenger's leg room, and the footrest device 40 located below the instrument panel lower body 20 is rotated and extended to provide a comfortable foot support angle for the passenger.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sliding of the glove box 10 along the width direction of the vehicle, the opening and closing of the box cover 2, and the extension or retraction of the foot pedal 40 can all be automated. For example, when a passenger sitting in the front passenger seat needs to use the glove box 10, the glove box 10 is controlled to move in front of the passenger and the box cover 2 is opened to facilitate the passenger to take items. For another example, when a driver sitting in the driver's seat needs to use the glove box 10, the glove box 10 is controlled to move to the middle position and the box cover 2 is opened to facilitate the driver to take items. At the same time, the foot pedal 40 can also be controlled to extend for the passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. Here, for example, the vehicle controller uniformly allocates demand instructions, combined with other comfort configurations such as the cockpit and zero-gravity seats, to provide passengers with a more comfortable riding environment.

[0045] The second embodiment of the utility model provides a vehicle, which includes the glove box 10 in the above embodiment. Specifically, the vehicle has a dashboard lower body 20, the dashboard lower body 20 is fixed on the dashboard reinforcement beam 30, the glove box 10 is arranged on the dashboard lower body 20 of the vehicle, and the dashboard lower body 20 has a space 20a, where the volume of the space 20a is greater than the volume of the glove box 10, so that the glove box 10 can be arranged on the dashboard lower body 20 and slide in the space 20a.

[0046] The utility model can fully expand the storage space on the dashboard, improve the convenience of the driver and the front passenger using the glove box together, and provide a more comfortable riding space for the front passenger, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0047] In the above embodiments of the present invention, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
