[0036] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be exemplary and non-restrictive in nature.

[0037] In the related art, the lower space of the trunk cover in the vehicle is an open space, and passengers can open the trunk cover at will, which poses a safety risk.

[0038] The disclosed embodiment provides a suitcase that can lock the lower space of the suitcase, thereby improving the safety of the suitcase.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 7 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a luggage case in a locked state provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a luggage case in an open state provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 3 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the trunk structure when it is locked; Figure 4 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the trunk structure when it is locked; Figure 5 for Figure 4 Sectional view along the AA direction; Figure 6 for Figure 4 A magnified view of the structure in the middle B area; Figure 7 for Figure 5 A magnified view of the structure of the middle C region.

[0040] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a trunk for a vehicle is provided, including a trunk cover 100 and a trunk body 200 .

[0041] The trunk cover 100 includes a locking mechanism 110 and at least one first limiting mechanism 120, wherein the locking mechanism 110 is fixed to a first end of the trunk cover 100, and the at least one first limiting mechanism 120 is arranged on a second end of the trunk cover 100 opposite to the first end.

[0042] The suitcase body 200, the suitcase body 200 and the suitcase cover 100 form a accommodating space 300, the first side wall 210 of the suitcase body 200 is provided with a first clamping hole 211 that cooperates with the locking mechanism 110, and the second side wall 220 of the suitcase body 200 opposite to the first side wall 210 is provided with at least one second limiting mechanism 221 that cooperates with at least one first limiting mechanism 120.

[0043] The locking mechanism 110 can cooperate with the first locking hole 211, at least one first limiting mechanism 120 and at least one second limiting mechanism 221 in the locked state, so that the luggage compartment cover 100 and the luggage compartment body 200 are locked with each other.

[0044] Therefore, the first limiting mechanism and the locking mechanism on the trunk cover cooperate with the second limiting mechanism and the snap-in hole on the trunk body respectively to lock the lower space of the trunk, thereby improving the safety of the trunk.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first end and the second end may be respectively an end near the rear side of the luggage case and an end near the front side of the luggage case. In some embodiments, the first end and the second end may also be respectively an end on the left side of the luggage case and an end on the right side.

[0046] It is understandable that the front side, rear side, left side and right side mentioned above are only used to explain the relative position relationship between the first end and the second end in conjunction with the drawings, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0047] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned vehicle may be an ordinary vehicle, such as a sedan, SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle), MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicles), or other passenger vehicle, without limitation.

[0048] In some embodiments, the vehicle mentioned above may be an autonomous driving vehicle, and the accommodation space 300 may be used to accommodate the autonomous driving unit 400. The following description will be made by taking the autonomous driving vehicle as an example, but this does not represent a special limitation on the present application.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first side wall 210 may be a luggage case threshold of the luggage case body 200 , and the second side wall 220 may be a trim panel of the luggage case body 200 opposite to the luggage case threshold 210 .

[0050] Therefore, by limiting the opening direction of the trunk cover 100 by the above-mentioned structure, the opening direction can improve the convenience of user operation. For example, when the operation and maintenance personnel need to maintain the automatic driving unit placed in the trunk, they can open the trunk cover more conveniently and perform related operations.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first side wall and the second side wall may also be two other opposite decorative panels of the luggage case body that are different from the luggage case door sill and the decorative panel.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 3-5 and Figure 7 As shown, the at least one first limiting mechanism 120 can be at least one limiting bracket, and the at least one second limiting mechanism 211 can be at least one second clamping hole matched with the at least one limiting bracket. Thus, the luggage compartment cover 100 can be installed and locked through a simplified mechanical structure.

[0053] Understandably, because Figure 5 and Figure 7 for Figure 4 The cross-sectional view along the AA plane includes a cross section of a pair of first limiting mechanisms 120 and a second limiting mechanism 211 (i.e., the second clamping hole). Figure 5 and Figure 7The cavity below the first limiting mechanism 120 is the second limiting mechanism 211 (ie, the second clamping hole).

[0054] In some embodiments, each of the at least one first limiting mechanism 120 and the corresponding second limiting mechanism 211 are hinge components that cooperate with each other. Thus, by using the hinge components, the convenience of operation of the trunk cover is improved.

[0055] In some embodiments, the number of the first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism can be one respectively, and can be arranged at a position directly opposite to the locking mechanism.

[0056] In some embodiments, when there is only one first limiting mechanism and one second limiting mechanism respectively, the length of the first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism in the edge direction of the second end of the trunk cover can be greater than the first preset width, thereby further streamlining the structure and improving the stability of the installation and locking of the trunk cover.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The number of the at least one first limiting mechanism 120 and the number of the at least one second limiting mechanism 221 are both two, and at least one first limiting mechanism 120 is arranged on both sides of the second end, and at least one second limiting mechanism 221 is correspondingly arranged on both sides of the second side wall 220.

[0058] Therefore, by respectively arranging mutually cooperating limiting mechanisms on both sides of the trunk cover, the stability and locking degree of the trunk cover are improved, thereby further improving the safety of the luggage compartment.

[0059] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism may be a rotary locking mechanism.

[0060] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism may be a telescopic locking mechanism.

[0061] As a result, the installation and locking of the trunk cover can be achieved through a streamlined mechanical structure, thereby improving the safety of the trunk.

[0062] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism can achieve locking operation through a matching key.

[0063] In this way, the trunk can be locked by a key, thereby preventing unauthorized persons from opening the trunk cover at will, further improving the safety of the trunk.

[0064] Furthermore, by placing the autonomous driving unit in the luggage box provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure on the autonomous driving operation vehicle,

[0065] During the operation of the autonomous driving vehicle, the first limiting mechanism 120 at the second end of the trunk cover 100 can be firstly inserted into the corresponding second limiting mechanism 221 on the second side wall 220, and the first end of the trunk cover 100 naturally falls down, and the locking mechanism 110 on the trunk cover 100 is operated by the key, so that the locking mechanism 110 and the first locking hole 211 on the first side wall 210 cooperate to lock the trunk cover 110, so as to achieve the following Figure 1 The luggage compartment is in a locked state as shown. In this state, passengers cannot open the luggage compartment cover 100, thereby protecting the safety of the automatic driving unit 400 placed therein.

[0066] During the inspection and maintenance of the autonomous driving vehicle, the maintenance personnel can operate the locking mechanism 110 by a key to release the locked state of the trunk cover 100. The maintenance personnel can manually lift the first end of the trunk cover 100 by a handle provided on the trunk cover to open the accommodation space 300 (such as Figure 2 As shown), and the automatic driving unit 400 is inspected and maintained. After the inspection is completed, the trunk cover 100 can be restored to the locked state by the key.

[0067] In this way, the safety of the automatic driving unit in the suitcase can be guaranteed, and at the same time, it can also be convenient for operation and maintenance personnel to dimension the automatic driving unit.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a vehicle is also provided, comprising a luggage box provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. Thus, by applying the luggage box of the present disclosure to the vehicle, the lower space of the luggage box can be locked, thereby improving the safety of the luggage box.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, there is also provided an autonomous driving vehicle, comprising a luggage box provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the luggage box is used to accommodate an autonomous driving unit of the autonomous driving vehicle. Thus, by applying the luggage box of the present disclosure to the autonomous driving vehicle, the safety of the autonomous driving unit in the luggage box can be ensured, and at the same time, it can also facilitate the operation and maintenance personnel to dimension the autonomous driving unit.
