The reset member 5 is specifically a torsion spring. One connecting end of the torsion spring is connected to the cover plate 2, and the other connecting end is connected to the handle 3.

[0084] Lift the main body portion of the handle 3, the torsion spring stores energy, and the second clamping portion 301 and the second clamping and mating portion 1021 cancel the clamping connection, so that the cover plate 2 can rotate around the first shaft body 7 to open the opening of the box body 1. When the cover plate 2 is in the closed position, the torsion spring releases energy, which can make the second clamping portion 301 connected to the second clamping and mating portion 1021, so that the cover plate 2 is kept in the closed position of closing the opening, making it more convenient to open and close the cover plate 2.

[0085] When the cover plate 2 is kept in the closed position, it can press the sealing portion 4. In this embodiment, the sealing portion 4 can be a conventional sealing ring specifically. The opening edge of the box body 1 is recessed downward relative to the flanging. An upward protruding insertion boss is provided at the bottom of the recessed portion. The sealing ring is inserted and connected to the insertion boss through an insertion groove at the lower part. The sealing structure at the upper part of the sealing ring, also known as the foaming portion, is clamped between the cover plate 2 and the box body 1, which can preferably improve the sealing performance between the cover plate 2 and the box body 1.

[0086] During the opening and closing process of the cover plate 2, in order to prevent abnormal noise during the rotation of the cover plate 2, as Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, as a preferred embodiment, a damping portion 6 is provided at the part where the cover plate 2 and the box body 1 are pivotally connected. The damping portion 6 is used to apply damping to the rotation of the cover plate 2 relative to the box body 1. In this way, the opening and closing speed of the cover plate 2 can be preferably controlled, and a comfortable use experience can be provided for the user.

[0087] Specifically, there are two pivotal connection structures between the cover plate 2 and the box body 1. The two pivotal connection structures are arranged at intervals in the left - right direction of the vehicle, and the specific structures of the two pivotal connection structures are the same. Therefore, one of the pivotal connection structures will be taken as an example for description below.

[0088] In terms of the specific structure, the pivotal connection structure includes a first shaft hole provided on the box body 1, two second shaft holes provided on the cover plate 2, and a second shaft body 8. The two second shaft holes are located on both sides of the first shaft hole, and the second shaft body 8 in both second shaft holes can be inserted into the first shaft hole, so that the cover plate 2 and the box body 1 are pivotally connected. The aforementioned damping part 6 can specifically be a rubber sleeve sleeved on the second shaft body 8, which is beneficial to increasing the friction force of the cover plate 2 rotating relative to the box body 1, facilitating the control of the rotation speed of the cover plate 2, and increasing the comfort of the user opening and closing the cover plate 2.

[0089] The assembly process of the front trunk is as follows: Snap the reset part 5 onto the cover plate 2, install the handle 3, and then insert the first shaft body 7 to connect the cover plate 2, the handle 3, the reset part 5, and the first shaft body 7 together to form the opening mechanism of the cover plate 2.

[0090] After the above - mentioned opening mechanism is assembled on the cover plate 2, as a cover plate assembly, it is installed on the box body 1. The specific assembly process is as follows: Snap the damping part 6 into the damping installation groove on the box body 1, place the cover plate 2 at the corresponding position of the box body 1, insert the second shaft body 8 to connect the box body 1 and the cover plate assembly to form a complete front trunk. Then insert the sealing part 4 at the opening edge of the box body 1, rotate the handle 3 so that the second clamping part 301 of the handle 3 is clamped at the second clamping and mating part of the box body 1 to achieve the sealing between the cover plate 2 and the box body 1. Finally, the entire front trunk can be installed in the front engine compartment with reference to the installation structure described above.

[0091] For the front trunk of this embodiment, by setting the cover plate 2 to press the sealing part 4, the sealing is tight, it is not easy for soil and water to enter the front trunk. Even if some food with a strong smell is stored, it is not easy to spread into the cab, which is beneficial to improving the driving experience. In addition, due to the setting of the cover plate 2, it is beneficial to improve the flatness of the front hood, thereby facilitating the improvement of the refinement.

[0092] Embodiment Two

[0093] This embodiment relates to a vehicle, and the front trunk of Embodiment One is provided in the front engine compartment of the vehicle.

[0094] For the vehicle of this embodiment, by applying the front trunk of Embodiment One, the sealing performance of the front trunk can be improved, water and soil can be prevented from entering the front trunk, and the smell of items with a strong smell stored in the front trunk can also be prevented from overflowing, thereby preventing the impact on the driving experience. By adding the cover plate 2 of the front trunk, it is beneficial to ensure the flatness of the engine compartment surface and improve the refinement of the vehicle.

[0095] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
