[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0038] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" or "above" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0040] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0041] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 3The interlocking structure 100 of the utility model is described. It should be noted that the interlocking structure 100 is used on the cover of the glove box of the vehicle, and the interlocking structure 100 cooperates with the connecting rod in the glove box of the vehicle to form a mechanical transmission system. When the switch of the glove box is operated, the connecting rod will drive the interlocking structure 100 to expand or move accordingly, and transmit the operating force to the entire glove box cover, so that the glove box cover can be opened and closed smoothly.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model provides a linkage structure 100, including a housing 110, a drive assembly 130 and a telescopic member 120. Specifically, the housing 110 has a first movable channel 111 and a second movable channel 112 that are connected, the first movable channel 111 and the second movable channel 112 are perpendicular, and the housing 110 is also provided with a mounting hole 113, which is connected to the second movable channel 112. The telescopic member 120 is connected to the driving connecting rod in the glove box, and the telescopic member 120 is installed in the second movable channel 112 through the mounting hole 113, and the telescopic member 120 is telescopic along the second movable channel 112. The drive assembly 130 is installed in the first movable channel 111, the drive assembly 130 is movable along the first movable channel 111, the drive assembly 130 is connected to the telescopic member 120, and the drive assembly 130 cooperates with the telescopic member 120 to switch the linkage structure 100 between the open state and the closed state. In the open state, the driving assembly 130 drives the telescopic member 120 to move in the second movable channel 112 toward the mounting hole 113 . In the closed state, the telescopic member 120 contracts inwardly along the second movable channel 112 and compresses the driving assembly 130 .

[0043] In this way, when the user opens the glove box cover, the driving assembly 130 pops up, moves from the closed position to the open position in the first movable channel, and pushes the telescopic member 120 outward in the second channel, so that the telescopic member 120 can move in the direction of the mounting hole 113. At this time, the telescopic member 120 drives the connecting rod to move, thereby opening the glove box. When the user closes the glove box cover, the telescopic member 120 moves into the mounting hole 113, so that the telescopic member 120 contracts along the second movable channel 112, and then pushes the driving assembly 130 along the first movable channel 111 from the open position back to the closed position.

[0044] According to the interlocking structure 100 provided by the utility model, by embedding the driving assembly 130 and the telescopic member 120 in the shell 110, the interlocking structure 100 can be independent of other components of the automobile glove box, which not only improves the versatility of the interlocking structure 100 and enables the interlocking structure 100 to be adapted to various models of automobile glove boxes, but also reduces the dependence of the interlocking structure 100 on other components of the glove box, thereby simplifying the overall design and assembly process of the glove box.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the driving member includes a movable member 131 and an elastic member (not shown in the figure). The movable member 131 is provided with a slide groove 1311, and the telescopic member 120 is slidably connected to the slide groove 1311. The elastic member is connected to the movable member 131, and the first movable channel 111 has a receiving groove 1111, and the elastic member is arranged in the receiving groove 1111, wherein the receiving groove 1111 limits the elastic member and guides the elastic member to prevent the elastic member from being dislocated during the rebound or compression process, thereby causing the interlocking structure 100 to get stuck.

[0046] The elastic member is retractable along the extension direction of the accommodating groove 1111, one end of the elastic member abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 1111, and the other end is connected to the movable member 131. When the interlocking structure 100 is in the open state, the elastic member rebounds and lifts up the movable member 131. At this time, the telescopic member 120 slides from the upper end of the slide groove 1311 to the lower end, so that the movable member 131 can push the telescopic member 120 out of the housing 110. When the interlocking structure 100 is in the closed state, the telescopic member 120 moves into the housing 110. At this time, the telescopic member 120 slides from the lower end of the slide groove 1311 to the upper end of the slide groove 1311, pressing down the movable member 131, and the movable member 131 compresses the elastic member. The elastic member can be an elastic member such as a spring or a rubber member.

[0047] The cooperation between the movable member 131 and the elastic member enhances the force transmission efficiency. The design of the slide slot 1311 of the movable member 131 and the slidable connection mode of the telescopic member 120 enable the telescopic member 120 to maintain stable and smooth movement, thereby improving the response speed and accuracy of the glove box switch.

[0048] In addition, the internal layout of the interlocking structure 100 is more concise through the coordinated design of the movable member 131 and the elastic member. This simplification not only reduces the number of parts that need to be manufactured and assembled, but also reduces the production and maintenance costs.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the slide groove 1311 is arranged obliquely on the movable member 131, and in the compression direction of the elastic member, the slide groove 1311 gradually moves away from the axial position of the accommodating groove 1111. In this way, the telescopic member 120 and the movable member 131 occupy less space when moving compared to the traditional linear motion path, thereby reducing the volume of the housing 110, so that the parts inside the housing 110 can be arranged more compactly.

[0050] In addition, when there are multiple telescopic members 120, the movable member 131 having the inclined slide groove 1311 can play a role in synchronously moving the telescopic members 120. Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, there are two telescopic members 120, the number of the slide grooves 1311 is the same as the number of the telescopic members 120, and the two telescopic members 120 are arranged opposite to each other. When one of the telescopic members 120 is subjected to a force that compresses along the second active channel 112 toward the inside of the shell 110, the driving assembly 130 will drive the other telescopic member 120 to move together.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the movable member 131 has a first side 1132 and a second side relative to each other, wherein a chute 1311 is arranged on the first side 1132, and the other is arranged on the second side. In this way, the chute 1311 is distributed on both sides of the movable member 131, so that the overall structure can be made more compact. In the case where there are chute 1311 on both sides, the motion path of the telescopic member 120 is effectively utilized and shortened, so relative to the design with only a single chute 1311, the space occupied by the coordinated activity of the movable member 131 and the telescopic member 120 can be significantly reduced. This design not only reduces the volume requirement of the entire assembly during activity, but also allows the housing 110 to be designed to be more compact and light, thereby further reducing the weight of the entire device and improving space efficiency. In addition, the direct benefit of reducing the volume of the housing 110 is to improve the installation flexibility, so that this interlocking structure 100 can be more easily integrated into various sizes and layout restrictions in the automotive glove box.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the telescopic member 120 is provided with a slider 121, and the slider 121 is connected to the slide groove 1311, and the slider 121 can drive the telescopic member 120 to slide in the slide groove 1311. The slide groove 1311 has a guiding effect on the slider 121, preventing the telescopic member 120 from being offset or misplaced during the telescopic process, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the movable member 131 has a protrusion 1133, and the elastic member is sleeved on the protrusion 1133. The protrusion 1133 provides a clear installation position for the elastic member. After the elastic member is sleeved on the protrusion 1133, the movement trajectory of the elastic member can be better guided and restricted by the protrusion 1133, which reduces the friction and wear caused by the abnormal movement or misalignment of the elastic member and prolongs the service life of the elastic member and related parts. In addition, the rebound force of the elastic member can be more accurately transmitted to the movable member 131, improving the stability and reliability of the operation.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the wall surface of the first movable channel 111 has at least one positioning slot 1112, and the movable member 131 is provided with a positioning block 1134, and the positioning block 1134 cooperates with the positioning slot 1112 to fix the movable member 131 to the wall surface of the first movable channel 111. The cooperation between the positioning slot 1112 and the positioning block 1134 enables the movable member 131 to be accurately fixed in the first movable channel 111, thereby preventing the movable member 131 from accidentally moving or misaligning in the channel, reducing the wear of the movable member 131 caused by misalignment, thereby extending the service life of the movable member 131, and further ensuring the overall reliability of the interlocking structure 100.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the telescopic member 120 includes a telescopic portion 122 and a sliding portion 123. The telescopic portion 122 is arranged in the second movable channel 112, and one end of the telescopic portion 122 protrudes from the mounting opening 1221. The telescopic portion 122 is used to connect with a connecting rod in a glove box (not shown in the figure), and the telescopic portion 122 has a mounting opening 1221, and the connecting rod can be installed in the mounting opening 1221. The sliding portion 123 is arranged in the first movable channel 111, and the sliding portion 123 is connected to the other end of the telescopic portion 122, and the sliding portion 123 is connected to the slide groove 1311, and the sliding portion 123 can move in the slide groove 1311, thereby driving the telescopic portion 122 to telescope in the second movable channel 112.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the wall surface of the second movable channel 112 has a stopper 1121 protruding from the wall surface, and the stopper 1121 can stop the telescopic member 120. Among them, a groove 124 is formed between the telescopic portion 122 and the sliding portion 123 of the telescopic member 120, and when the telescopic member 120 slides in the second channel, the stopper 1121 slides in the groove 124. When the interlocking structure 100 is in an open state, one side of the sliding portion 123 abuts against the stopper 1121, thereby stopping the sliding portion 123, and then limiting the telescopic portion 122, preventing the entire telescopic member 120 from escaping from the second movable channel 112. When the interlocking structure 100 is in a closed state, one side of the telescopic portion 122 abuts against the stopper 1121, thereby stopping the telescopic portion 122, and preventing the entire telescopic member 120 from continuing to move in the direction of the first movable channel 111.

[0057] The utility model further provides a vehicle (not shown in the figure), comprising a vehicle glove box (not shown in the figure) and the above-mentioned interlocking structure 100, wherein the interlocking structure 100 is arranged in the vehicle glove box to switch the vehicle glove box between an open state and a closed state. The vehicle proposed by the utility model, because it comprises the above-mentioned interlocking structure 100, also has the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned interlocking structure 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
