When the glove box is opened, the handle is pulled, and the connecting head rotates around the hole as the center, and at the same time, the lower connecting rod and the upper connecting rod move horizontally toward the middle of the glove box synchronously, thereby opening the glove box.

[0006] Furthermore, horizontal thin sheets are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the connecting head, the lower thin sheet is horizontally connected to the lower connecting rod, and the upper thin sheet is horizontally connected to the upper connecting rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower connecting rod and the upper connecting rod are both Z-shaped, the lower connecting rod is located on the left side of the connecting head, and the upper connecting rod is located on the right side of the connecting head. The lower connecting rod is provided with a notch adapted to the end of the connecting head.

[0008] Furthermore, a first hook is provided at the middle of the lower connecting rod, and a second hook is provided at the middle of the upper connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a hand-grip groove is provided at one end of the lower connecting rod away from the connecting head.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model is a three-in-one flexible connecting rod mechanism, and one part replaces the traditional three or four parts, which can ensure that the glove box opens and closes smoothly and stably, saving costs; the utility model has only one part, with a simple and exquisite structure, simple installation, and the connecting rod mechanism design has high reliability and practicality; the utility model uses PA612 material, which has good wear resistance.

[0012] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A in the middle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0014] See also Figure 1-2 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a three-in-one flexible link mechanism for a glove box, comprising a lower link 1, an upper link 2 and a connector 3, one end of the connector 3 is connected to one end of the lower link 1, and the other end is connected to one end of the upper link 2, the lower link 1, the upper link 2 and the connector 3 are integrated, the connector 3 is symmetrical up and down and is ear-shaped, a hole 31 is provided in the middle of the connector 3, the hole 31 is the center of the three-in-one flexible link mechanism, when the glove box is opened, the handle is pulled, the connector 3 rotates counterclockwise around the hole 31 as the center, and at the same time the handle drives the lower link 1 and the upper link 2 to move horizontally toward the middle of the glove box synchronously, thereby opening the glove box.

[0015] Specifically, horizontal thin sheets 32 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the connecting head 3. The lower thin sheet 32 ​​is horizontally connected to one end of the lower connecting rod 1, and the upper thin sheet 32 ​​is horizontally connected to one end of the upper connecting rod 2. When the glove box is opened, the connecting head 3 can rotate around the hole 31, so that the lower connecting rod 1 and the upper connecting rod 2 move horizontally synchronously.

[0016] Specifically, the lower connecting rod 1 and the upper connecting rod 2 are both Z-shaped, the lower connecting rod 1 is located on the left side of the connecting head 3 and one end of the lower connecting rod 1 is connected to the lower end thin film 32 of the connecting head 3, the upper connecting rod 2 is located on the right side of the connecting head 3 and the upper connecting rod 2 is connected to the upper end thin film 32 of the connecting head 3, the end of the lower connecting rod 1 away from the connecting head 3 is inserted into the left side of the glove box, and the end of the upper connecting rod 2 away from the connecting head 3 is inserted into the right side of the glove box, the horizontal sections of the upper connecting rod 1 and the lower connecting rod 2 connected to the connecting head 3 are designed to be reversely symmetrical with the hole 31 as the center, and the lower connecting rod 1 is provided with a notch 13 adapted to the end of the connecting head 3, and the notch 13 is located at the end of the lower connecting rod 1 near the connecting head 3, so that the connecting head 3 and the lower connecting rod 1 are also horizontally connected through the thin film 32 to ensure horizontal movement of the lower connecting rod 1.

[0017] Specifically, a hook 11 is provided in the middle of the lower connecting rod 1, and a hook 21 is provided in the middle of the upper connecting rod 2. Both the hook 11 and the hook 21 are abutted with springs. After the lower connecting rod 1 and the upper connecting rod 2 move horizontally toward the middle synchronously, when the glove box needs to be closed, the lower connecting rod 1 and the upper connecting rod 2 move horizontally to both sides respectively under the action of the springs to restore to the closed state of the glove box.

[0018] Specifically, a hand-grip groove 12 is provided at one end of the lower connecting rod 1 away from the connecting head 3 , and the hand-grip groove 12 is installed in the hand-grip groove 12 .

[0019] Specifically, the material of the three-in-one flexible link mechanism is PA612, which has good wear resistance.

[0020] The assembly process of the utility model is as follows: first, install the hole 31 on a three-in-one flexible connecting rod mechanism to the glove box, then install the spring to the glove box and abut against the hook 11 and the hook 2 21, and finally install the buckle hand in the buckle hand groove 12, and the assembly is completed. The connecting rod mechanism has only one part, a sophisticated structure, low cost, and no mis-assembly or missing assembly will occur.
