[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 4The 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 driving 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] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the interlocking structure 100 includes a housing 110, a telescopic member 120, a synchronous gear 130 and a reset member. The housing 110 has an active channel 111 inside. The housing 110 has telescopic openings arranged opposite to each other at both ends, and the telescopic openings are connected to the active channel 111. The telescopic member 120 is suitable for connecting with the driving connecting rod in the glove box. There are two telescopic members 120, and the two telescopic members 120 are arranged at the telescopic openings. The telescopic members 120 can move relatively along the active channel 111. The synchronous gear 130 is connected to the two telescopic members 120 so that the two telescopic members 120 are synchronously driven. The transmission distance of the telescopic member 120 is greater than half of the length of the active channel 111. In this way, the travel of the telescopic member 120 in the active channel 111 is larger, and the telescopic member 120 is retracted into the housing 110 by a deeper distance, so that the interlocking structure 100 can adapt to the size and design requirements of different glove box covers, providing a wider range of applications. In addition, the use of the synchronous gear 130 helps to reduce the resistance of the glove box cover when opening or closing, making the user operation smoother and more natural, thereby improving the user experience.

[0043] The reset member is connected to the telescopic member 120 so that the telescopic member 120 switches between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the telescopic member 120 retracts along the movable channel 111 toward the inside of the housing 110. In the second state, the reset member drives the telescopic member 120 to extend toward the telescopic opening. In this way, when the user opens the glove box, the reset member drives the telescopic member 120 to extend toward the telescopic opening, thereby pushing open the driving connecting rod in the glove box. When the user closes the glove box, the driving connecting rod drives the telescopic member 120 to retract into the housing 110 and compresses the reset member, thereby closing the telescopic opening.

[0044] According to the interlocking structure 100 provided by the utility model, by arranging a synchronous gear 130 inside the shell 110, the synchronous gear 130 and the telescopic member 120 are connected, and the transmission distance of the telescopic member 120 is made greater than half of the length of the active channel 111. In this way, when the telescopic member 120 is in the first state, the length of the telescopic member 120 contracted into the shell 110 is increased, and the length of the telescopic member 120 protruding from the telescopic opening is reduced, thereby reducing the volume occupied by the interlocking structure 100 in the glove box, so that the interlocking structure 100 can adapt to the sizes and design requirements of different glove box covers and provide a wider range of applications.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the telescopic member 120 includes a telescopic portion 121 and a transmission portion 122. The telescopic portion 121 is movable along the movable channel 111, and the telescopic portion 121 is suitable for connecting with the driving connecting rod in the glove box. The transmission portion 122 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 1221, and the guide grooves 1221 cooperate with the synchronous gear 130 so that the transmission portion 122 drives the telescopic portion 121 to move. In this way, the guide grooves 1221 cooperate with the synchronous gear 130 to help ensure the synchronous movement of the left and right telescopic members 120. Regardless of which side of the glove box cover is operated by the driving connecting rod, the two telescopic members 120 can be coordinated and extended to ensure that the glove box cover is opened and closed smoothly. The guide grooves 1221 can also optimize the force transmission path, so that the operating force of the driving connecting rod is efficiently transmitted to the telescopic portion 121 through the transmission portion 122 and the synchronous gear 130, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and reducing energy loss. The guide grooves 1221 can guide the transmission portion 122 to operate smoothly and reduce friction and wear during the activity. Such a design improves the durability and service life of the interlocking structure 100 and reduces maintenance costs. The guide groove 1221 cooperates with the synchronous gear 130 to make the transmission part 122 and the telescopic part 121 more stable during the activity, avoiding the synchronous gear 130 from getting stuck or malfunctioning due to looseness or misalignment.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the length of the transmission part 122 is L1, the length of the telescopic part 120 is L, and L1 / L≥0.5. For example, in one embodiment, L1 / L can be 0.5. When the length L1 of the transmission part 122 accounts for half or more of the overall length L of the telescopic part 120, effective force transmission can be guaranteed. The longer transmission part 122 can provide higher transmission efficiency, so that the force of operating the glove box cover is more evenly and effectively transmitted to the telescopic part 121, thereby ensuring the smooth opening and closing of the glove box cover. In addition, the longer transmission part 122 can be in more complete contact with the synchronous gear 130, thereby enhancing the synchronization of the telescopic parts 121 on the left and right sides. This synchronization helps to avoid deviation or skew during the opening and closing of the glove box cover, and improves the operating experience.

[0047] In addition, the longer transmission part 122 can ensure a larger contact area and support points when transmitting the operating force, effectively improving the stability and impact resistance of the entire structure, and avoiding structural weaknesses caused by local stress concentration. The longer transmission part 122 can better cooperate with the guide groove 1221 and the synchronous gear 130 during movement to form a smoother movement path. Friction and wear are reduced, thereby extending the service life of the interlocking structure 100 and reducing the frequency of subsequent maintenance and replacement. When the length of the transmission part 122 is increased, it can also better disperse and withstand the load applied during operation, avoid excessive local pressure, protect the various components of the transmission system, and increase the load capacity of the overall system.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the synchronous gear 130 includes a rotating disk 131 and a gear portion 132, the gear portion 132 is arranged on both sides of the rotating disk 131, and the gear portion 132 cooperates with the transmission portion 122 to drive the transmission portion 122 to move. The design of the rotating disk 131 can smoothly transmit the driving force to the gear portion 132, and then drive the transmission portion 122 to move through the gear portion 132. The gear portions 132 are arranged on both sides of the rotating disk 131, which can provide a more balanced force transmission structure, reduce the deflection or instability during the transmission process, and thus improve the overall stability of the system.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the telescopic portion 121 has a slider 1211, and the movable channel 111 has a slide groove 112. The slider 1211 cooperates with the slide groove 112 to enable the telescopic portion 121 to slide in the movable channel 111. The slide groove 112 guides the slider 1211, preventing the telescopic portion 121 from being offset or misaligned during the telescopic process, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the reset member is a spring 140, and the movable path of the spring 140 is parallel to the movable channel 111, so that the space in the vertical direction of the housing 110 can be saved. It avoids the unnecessary space occupation in the vertical direction and improves the space utilization rate. It can also reduce the height of the housing 110, and further reduce the volume of the interlocking structure 100. It also makes the internal structure of the housing 110 more concise, improves the efficiency of manufacturing and assembly, reduces the error probability in the production process, and improves the manufacturing accuracy and consistency. The spring 140 is connected to the telescopic part 121. In the first state, the telescopic part 121 relatively shrinks along the movable channel 111 toward the inside of the housing 110 to compress the spring 140. The spring 140 can limit the maximum displacement of the telescopic part 121, prevent possible excessive shrinkage during operation, and protect other components from damage. In the second state, the spring 140 stretches and pushes the telescopic part 121 to move toward the outside of the housing 110.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the telescopic member 120 also includes a first connecting portion 1213, the first connecting portion 1213 is connected to the telescopic portion 121, the first connecting portion 1213 has an installation inclined surface 1214, and the installation inclined surface 1214 is provided with a connecting hole 1212. In addition, the spring 140 has a second connecting portion 141, the second connecting portion 141 of the spring 140 is arranged in the connecting hole 1212, and the second connecting portion 141 is Z-shaped. In this way, it is convenient for the spring 140 to be inserted into the connecting hole 1212, and the Z-shaped design makes the insertion process smoother, reduces the difficulty of operation during the installation process, is convenient for the operator to quickly complete the connection, and improves the installation efficiency. In addition, the Z-shaped connecting portion of the spring 140 can form multi-point support and fixation in the connecting hole 1212, providing a more stable connection effect, and effectively preventing the spring 140 from loosening or displacement during use. The Z-shaped design increases the difficulty of the spring 140 falling off, reduces the probability of the spring 140 falling off when the spring 140 is subjected to external force, reduces the probability of the spring 140 accidentally separating from the telescopic member 120 during operation, and improves the safety performance of the structure.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an angle 123 is formed between the connecting portion and the telescopic portion 121, and the housing 110 is formed with a protrusion 113 corresponding to the angle 123. When the telescopic member 120 is in the second state, the protrusion 113 on the housing 110 is inserted into the angle 123 between the connecting portion and the telescopic portion 121, forming a physical barrier to prevent the telescopic member 120 from escaping from the housing 110. This locking mechanism reduces the risk of accidental sliding and falling off of the telescopic member 120, ensures that the entire interlocking structure 100 remains stable and safe during movement, and improves the user experience. In addition, by designing the angle 123 and the protrusion 113 of the housing 110, the locking effect of the telescopic portion 121 can be achieved, thereby reducing additional locking components, making the entire interlocking structure 100 more compact and simple.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the housing 110 has a housing chamber 114 connected to the active channel 111, and the reset member is installed in the housing chamber 114 and arranged in a unified area, so that the internal structure of the housing 110 is more compact and orderly, and the space utilization is optimized. The reset member is surrounded by the housing chamber 114, which effectively avoids the influence of the external environment, such as dust, moisture or other pollutants on the reset member, and improves the working stability and service life of the reset member. In addition, the housing chamber 114 provides a relatively closed operating environment for the reset member, reduces the friction and collision of the reset member with other components or external objects during operation, thereby protecting the reset member. Therefore, in the housing chamber 114, the reset member can work in a more stable environment, greatly improving the reliability of the overall system and the ability to operate stably for a long time. By optimizing the spatial layout and reducing complex components, the probability of failure is reduced and the overall reliability of the system is enhanced.

[0054] The utility model also 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. In the open state, the telescopic member 120 is in the first state to open the vehicle glove box. In the closed state, the reset member drives the telescopic member 120 to be in the second state to close the vehicle glove box.

[0055] 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. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
