DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] A glove box comprises a glove box body 1, which is used to be installed on a car body 20. The top of the glove box body 1 is open, and its inner cavity is used as a storage space for items. The front side of the glove box body 1 is provided with an outer panel 2, which is detachably mounted on the front side of the glove box body 1 by bolts. By setting the outer panel 2 as a detachable structure, the locks in the glove box body 1 can be easily repaired.

[0026] A lock is installed in the glove box body 1, and the lock is used to fix the glove box body 1 relative to the automobile body 20. A lock box 25 is provided on the upper side of the front end of the glove box body 1, and the lock is installed in the lock box 25. Through holes for the lock tongue 4 to extend are respectively provided on both sides of the glove box body 1, and the through holes are provided on both sides of the lock box 25.

[0027] The lock comprises connecting rods 3 on both sides, and a lock tongue 4 is installed at the outer end of the connecting rod 3. A wedge-shaped surface 5 is provided at the outer end of the rear side surface of the lock tongue 4, so that the outer end of the lock tongue 4 is in a wedge-shaped structure. When the automobile body 20 squeezes the wedge-shaped surface 5 of the lock tongue 4, the wedge-shaped surface 5 can act on the lock tongue 4 to move laterally inward. When the glove box body 1 rotates outward and the lock tongue 4 moves out of the glove box installation groove 21, the lock tongues 4 on both sides will move outward a certain distance under the action of the springs 12 on the rotating plates 8 on both sides, so that the outer ends of the wedge-shaped surface 5 of the lock tongue 4 exceed the edge of the glove box installation groove 21. When the glove box body 1 rotates inward, the edge of the glove box installation groove 21 will contact the wedge-shaped surface 5 of the lock tongue 4 and squeeze the wedge-shaped surface 5, so that the lock tongue 4 moves inward until the lock tongue 4 is inserted into the lock tongue holes 24 on both sides of the glove box installation groove 21.

[0028] The inner end of the connecting rod 3 is provided with a lever groove 6 which is open downwards, and a lever 7 is inserted into the lever groove 6. The width of the lever groove 6 is greater than the width of the lever 7. The lever 7 can drive the connecting rod 3 to move laterally during rotation. Since the width of the lever 7 is less than the width of the lever groove 6, the lever 7 can rotate in the lever groove 6. During rotation, the lever 7 will push the connecting rod 3 to move laterally. A lever head is provided at the top of the lever 7. The width of the lever head is greater than the width of the lever 7. The contact surface between the lever head and the lever groove 6 can be set to an arc surface.

[0029] The bottom of the lever 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 8, which can be designed as a circular structure. The rotating plate 8 is rotatably installed on the glove box body 1. The glove box body 1 is installed with a rotating shaft 19, and a rotating hole 18 is provided on the rotating plate 8 for the rotating shaft 19 to pass through. The rotating plate 8 rotates around the rotating shaft 19, thereby causing the lever 7 to rotate around the rotating shaft 19. Of course, we can also provide a rotating hole 18 on the glove box body 1 and install the rotating shaft 19 on the rotating plate 8.

[0030] Rotating rods 9 are respectively installed on the inner sides of the rotating plates 8 on both sides, and the rotating rods 9 on both sides are arranged oppositely. A lower pressing plate 13 is movably installed on the outer plate 2. The lower pressing plate 13 is on the upper side of the rotating rod 9 and can drive the rotating rods 9 on both sides to rotate downward at the same time. One of the rotating rods 9 on both sides is provided with a long groove 10, and a limiting rod 11 inserted into the long groove 10 is installed on the other rotating rod 9. When the rotating rods 9 on both sides rotate downward or upward at the same time, the limiting rod 11 can move in the long groove 10. The width of the limiting rod 11 is smaller than the width of the long groove 10. By reasonably designing the size of the long groove 10, the rotation angle of the rotating plates 8 on both sides can be well limited, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the maximum extension or retraction length of the lock tongue 4.

[0031] A spring 12 is connected between the rotating plates 8 on both sides. The spring 12 is always in a stretched state. When the lower pressure plate 13 does not press down the rotating rod 9, the elastic force of the spring 12 drives the levers 7 on both sides to rotate at the same time until the connecting rod 3 drives the locking tongues 4 on both sides to move outward to the maximum position. At this time, the limit rod 11 moves to the extreme position on one side of the long groove 10, and the limit rod 11 and the long groove 10 restrict the rotating plates 8 on both sides from continuing to rotate.

[0032] The two sides of the glove box body 1 are respectively provided with connecting rod limiting structures that cooperate with the connecting rod 3 on the same side. The connecting rod limiting structure limits the connecting rod 3 to move horizontally. The connecting rod limiting structure includes an upper limit protrusion 16 installed on the glove box body 1. The limiting protrusion 16 has a limiting groove 17 along the horizontal direction. The connecting rod 3 passes through the limiting groove 17 and slides horizontally along the limiting groove 17. The limiting groove 17 is a C-shaped structure. The connecting rod 3 is stuck in the limiting groove 17 and can move horizontally along the limiting groove 17. The utility model discloses that a plurality of limiting protrusions 16 are respectively installed on both sides of the glove box body 1, and a limiting groove 17 is provided on each limiting protrusion 16. The connecting rod 3 passes through the plurality of limiting grooves 17, and a plurality of annular grooves corresponding to the limiting grooves are provided on the connecting rod 3 to form a thin rod 23. The connecting rod 3 inserts the thin rod 23 into the limiting groove 17. The diameter of the limiting groove 17 is larger than the width of the thin rod 23 and smaller than the width of the connecting rod. By reasonably designing the length of the annular groove, the maximum distance that the connecting rod can be extended or retracted can be limited.

[0033] The outer plate 2 is provided with a hand catch groove 14, and the outer plate 2 is rotatably installed with a hand catch 15 in the hand catch groove 14 through a rotating shaft. The outer plate 2 is provided with a rotating hole 26 for the hand catch 15 to rotate in the hand catch groove 14, and the lower pressure plate 13 is connected to the upper side of the hand catch 15, and the lower pressure plate 13 passes through the rotating hole 26. When the hand catch 15 rotates relative to the outer plate 2, it will drive the lower pressure plate 13 to rotate downward. When the lower pressure plate 13 rotates downward, the contact point between the lower pressure plate 13 and the rotating rods 9 on both sides will move downward, so that the lower pressure plate 13 drives the rotating rods 9 on both sides to rotate downward at the same time. During the downward rotation process, the rotating rods 9 on both sides will drive the rotating plates 8 on both sides to rotate inward at the same time, so that the lever 7 drives the connecting rods 3 on both sides to move laterally inward at the same time during the rotation process, until the limit rod 11 moves to the limit position on the other side of the long groove 10, the limit rod 11 and the long groove 10 are in the limit position. The groove 10 limits the two side rotating plates 8 to continue to rotate, so that the lower pressure plate 13 cannot continue to press down the two side rotating rods 9; when the two side rotating plates 8 are rotating inwardly relative to each other at the same time, the spring 12 will be further stretched; when the lower pressure plate 13 does not press down the two side rotating rods 9, the spring 12 will pull back the two side rotating plates 8 under the action of elastic force and drive the two side rotating plates 8 to rotate outward relative to each other at the same time, and at the same time drive the two side lever rods 7 to drive the two side connecting rods 3 to move outward laterally at the same time, and at the same time drive the two side rotating rods 9 to rotate and move upward at the same time, until the limit rod 11 moves to the extreme position on one side of the long groove 10, and the limit rod 11 and the long groove 10 limit the two side rotating plates 8 from continuing to rotate; a torsion spring is installed between the buckle hand 15 and the outer plate 2, and the torsion spring is installed on the rotating shaft between the buckle hand 15 and the buckle hand groove 14, and the torsion spring can make the buckle hand 15 reset after rotating relative to the buckle hand groove 14.

[0034] An automobile comprises an automobile body 20 and the above-mentioned glove box, wherein a glove box installation groove 21 is provided in the automobile body 20, and the glove box body 1 is rotatably installed in the glove box installation groove 21 through a rotating shaft at the bottom, and locking tongue holes 24 cooperating with locking tongues 4 on both sides are respectively provided on both sides of the glove box installation groove 21, and when the glove box body 1 rotates relative to the glove box installation groove 21, the locking tongues 4 on both sides can be inserted into the locking tongue holes 24 on both sides, thereby realizing relative locking of the glove box body 1 and the automobile body 20.

[0035] Sliding grooves are respectively provided on both sides of the glove box mounting groove 21, and sliding blocks 22 matched with the sliding grooves are respectively installed on both sides of the glove box body 1. The utility model can make the glove box body 1 slide more smoothly in the glove box mounting groove 21 by arranging the sliding groove and the sliding block 22. At the same time, by reasonably designing the length of the sliding groove, the rotation angle of the glove box body 1 in the glove box mounting groove 21 can be well limited. The sliding block 22 adopts a rubber block, and the rubber block has an interference fit with the sliding groove. The rubber block can be used as a damper through the interference fit, so that the glove box body 1 can stop rotating at any position, which is convenient for use.
