DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0032] Here, the technical solutions in the embodiments (or "embodiment modes") of this application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings. When the following description involves the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.
[0033] If there are terms related to directional indications or positional relationships in the embodiments of this application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings); if this specific posture changes, then the directional indication or positional relationship will also change accordingly. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. involved in the embodiments of this application are only for the purpose of convenient description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0034] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a storage box 1 for a vehicle. The storage box 1 includes a storage frame 11 and a connecting portion 12. The storage frame 11 includes a wall body 111 and a storage space 112 formed by the wall body 111. The wall body 111 includes a connected top wall 1111 and a first side wall 1112. The storage space 112 includes a side opening 1122 arranged on the first side wall 1112. The connecting portion 12 is arranged on the side wall and exposes the side opening 1122. The connecting portion 12 is used to connect to the vehicle. Among them, the storage frame 11 and the connecting portion 12 are integrally formed.
[0035] Compared to the separately arranged connecting portion 12 and storage frame 11, the storage box 1 of the present application does not need to assemble the connecting portion 12 and the storage frame 11 in advance when it is assembled in a vehicle, thereby improving the efficiency of assembly. At the same time, the separately arranged connecting portion 12 and the storage frame 11 need to match the surface difference during the assembly process, otherwise it will cause inconvenience in taking things out. For example, the surface of the connecting portion 12 facing the top wall 1111 needs to match the top wall 1111 to avoid a height difference between the two. This setting method requires strict control of the assembly accuracy during assembly, which increases the difficulty of assembly. It can be seen that the one-piece molding design of the storage box 1 of the present application can further reduce the difficulty of assembly.
[0036] In addition, the integrally formed storage box 1 can be formed using one set of molds. Compared with the two sets of molds of the separately arranged storage box 1, the storage box 1 of the present application can greatly reduce the mold opening cost, thereby reducing the production cost and the management cost of the mold in the later stage.
[0037] The storage box 1 may be an injection molded part, i.e., a storage box 1 formed by an injection molding process. Alternatively, the storage box 1 may also be formed by a foaming process. In this embodiment, the storage box 1 may be a polypropylene foam storage box, a polyurethane foam storage box, a polystyrene foam storage box, or a polyvinyl chloride foam storage box. The foam material is light in weight and low in unit price, which can further control the production cost of the storage box 1.
[0038] refer to Figure 3 Based on the storage box 1, the present application also provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes a vehicle body and a storage box 1. The vehicle body includes an opening and closing cover (not shown), a side panel 2 and a floor 3. The side panel 2 includes an access port 21. The opening and closing cover is connected to the side panel 2 for covering or exposing the access port 21. The storage frame 11 is connected to the floor 3. The connecting portion 12 is connected to the side panel 2. The side opening 1122 is connected to the access port 21. In this way, passengers of the vehicle can access items from the storage space 112 via the access port 21 through the side opening 1122. The provision of the opening and closing cover can prevent items in the storage space 112 from falling or being contaminated by sewage dust.
[0039] Since the side plate 2 of the vehicle is usually an irregular surface structure rather than an integral plane, the arrangement of the connecting part 12 of the storage box 1 can adapt to and fit the irregular surface structure of the side plate 2, thereby reducing the gap between the storage box 1 and the side plate 2 and facilitating the assembly connection. In addition, the integrally formed storage box 1 reduces the number of vehicle components, and reduces the mold development cost and the subsequent mold management cost. At the same time, when assembling the vehicle, the assembler can directly connect the integrally formed storage box 1 to the side plate 2 and the floor 3, realizing modular assembly and improving the production efficiency.
[0040] When the storage box 1 is assembled to the vehicle, the vehicle may only be able to access items from the storage space 112 through the access port 21. Alternatively, in some alternative embodiments, the storage space 112 includes a top opening 1121 provided in the top wall 1111. The vehicle further includes a cover plate (not shown) detachably connected to the top wall 1111. When a vehicle passenger needs to take or store items from the storage space 112 inside the cockpit, the storage space 112 can be exposed through the top opening 1121 by moving the cover plate away, without having to walk outside the vehicle to store items through the access port 21 of the side plate 2. It can be seen that this setting method enables passengers to have access to the items in the storage space 112 both inside and outside the vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the passenger's usage experience of the vehicle.
[0041] The top opening 1121 can also facilitate the detachment of the storage box 1 from the mold during the processing of the storage box 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of extracting the core from the side opening 1122 from the storage space 112, which is beneficial to ensuring the processing yield of the storage box 1.
[0042] The wall body 111 includes a bottom wall 1113 disposed opposite to the top wall 1111. The connection between the storage box 1 and the floor 3 can be bonding, snap - fitting, etc. between the bottom wall 1113 and the floor 3. As Figure 2 shown, the storage frame 11 includes a plurality of mounting holes 114 provided in the bottom wall 1113. The plurality of mounting holes 114 are exposed from the top opening 1121. In other words, the assembler can see all the mounting holes 114 in the Figure 2 shown perspective. Compared with connecting the mounting holes 114 and the floor 3 by extending into the storage space 112 from the side opening 1122, this setting method enables the assembler to conveniently and intuitively connect the storage frame 11 and the floor 3 through the top opening 1121, improving the assembly efficiency. It can be seen that in this embodiment, even if the storage frame 11 is connected to the vehicle and items can only be obtained from the storage space 112 through the side opening 1122, the top opening 1121 can also play a role in facilitating assembly.
[0043] Refer to Figure 1, the wall body 111 includes a bottom wall 1113 and a second side wall 1114. The bottom wall 1113, the first side wall 1112, and the second side wall 1114 are connected to each other pairwise. In some embodiments, the side opening 1122 is centrally disposed on the first side wall 1112. In some alternative embodiments, the side opening 1122 is disposed near the second side wall 1114 and the bottom wall 1113. In Figure 1 the illustrated embodiment and perspective, if the second side wall 1114 is the right wall surface, then the side opening 1122 is disposed near the lower right corner of the first side wall 1112. In other embodiments, the second side wall 1114 can also be Figure 1 the left wall surface in the perspective, then the side opening 1122 is disposed near the lower left corner of the first side wall 1112. Since space is required for the pivot connection between the opening / closing cover and the side plate 2, the offset design of the side opening 1122 can leave space for the pivot connection between the opening / closing cover and the side plate 2, improving the overall structural compactness of the vehicle. At the same time, this design also enables the side opening 1122 to be completely exposed after the opening / closing cover is opened, facilitating the access of objects.
[0044] Refer to Figure 2 , the connecting portion 12 includes an end face 121 away from the first side wall 1112. In some embodiments, the end face 121 is inclined. Among them, the distance D1 between the portion of the end face 121 close to the second side wall 1114 and the first side wall 1112 is less than the distance D2 between the portion of the end face 121 away from the second side wall 1114 and the first side wall 1112. In this way, the inclined end face 121 can be adapted to the inclined side plate 2 and the storage opening. This setting enables the storage box 1 to still be in contact with the side plate 2 when the side plate 2 of the vehicle is inclined, improving the appearance and strength of the vehicle.
[0045] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the connecting portion 12 has a sloped transition from the end face 121 towards the top wall 1111, and the connecting portion 12 has a sloped transition from the end face 121 towards the third side wall 1115. Compared with a right-angle transition at the position of the side opening 1122, this setting method can improve the strength of the storage box 1. And compared with a right-angle transition at the top wall 1111 and the third side wall 1115, this setting method is beneficial for saving materials and reserving sufficient positions for the pivot connection between the opening / closing cover and the side plate 2.
[0046] It should be noted that the connecting portion 12 can be such that it only has a sloped transition from the end face 121 towards the top wall 1111 and does not have a sloped transition from the end face 121 towards the third side wall 1115. Or, the connecting portion 12 can be such that it only has a sloped transition from the end face 121 towards the third side wall 1115 and does not have a sloped transition from the end face 121 towards the top wall 1111.
[0047] Refer to Figure 1, in some embodiments, the storage box 1 further includes a lighting bracket 13. The lighting bracket 13 is disposed on the side of the wall body 111 facing the storage space 112 and is used for assembling a lighting component. The lighting bracket 13 enables the lighting component to be installed in the storage box 1, thereby providing illumination for the storage space 112, making it more convenient for passengers to observe and find items in the storage space 112. The lighting bracket 13 can be arranged as Figure 1 shown on the side of the storage space 112 away from the side opening 1122. This is because when a passenger exposes the storage space 112 through the side opening 1122, the light from the outside of the vehicle can enter the interior of the storage space 112 through the side opening 1122, providing illumination for the storage space 112 near the side opening 1122, while the lighting component can provide illumination for the storage space 112 away from the side opening 1122. It can be seen that this way can make full use of all the light.
[0048] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, there can be only one lighting bracket 13 and it can be arranged at any position. Or, there can also be multiple lighting brackets 13 to provide more sufficient illumination.
[0049] In the embodiments where the storage box 1 includes the lighting bracket 13, the storage box 1 may further include a switch bracket 14. The switch bracket 14 is disposed on the side of the wall body 111 facing the storage space 112. The switch bracket 14 is arranged near the top opening 1121 and is used for assembling the switch of the lighting component. Arranging the switch bracket 14 near the top opening 1121 can make the switch connection operation and wiring operation during assembly more convenient. In addition, in the embodiments where the vehicle includes a cover plate detachably connected to the top wall 1111, the switch bracket 14 is exposed after the cover plate is removed, allowing passengers to more conveniently operate the switch to turn on or off the lighting component.
[0050] In this embodiment, the switch of the lighting component is arranged in the storage box 1, making it more convenient for passengers to operate the lighting component through the switch when needed. In other embodiments, the switch can also be arranged in the cockpit, and passengers can turn on or off the lighting component through the switch in the cockpit.
[0051] In an alternative embodiment, the storage frame 11 includes a wiring hole 113 provided on the wall body 111. The wiring hole 113 communicates with the storage space 112 and is arranged near the lighting bracket 13. Since the lighting component is assembled on the lighting bracket 13 and the lighting component needs to be electrically connected to achieve illumination. Therefore, the design of the wiring hole 113 can facilitate the wires of the lighting component to leave the storage space 112 through the wiring hole 113, avoiding occupying the volume of the storage space 112 or being touched by items in the storage space 112, which may cause poor wiring. And arranging the wiring hole 113 near the lighting bracket 13 further reduces the occupation of the storage space 112 by the wires.
[0052] Since the storage box 1 is assembled on the floor 3, and various different structural components are also connected to the floor 3, the storage frame 11 of the present application is further provided with a plurality of avoidance structures 115 for avoiding the components of the vehicle arranged around the storage box 1, such as suspensions, water pipes, storage drawers, etc., or it can be to avoid other sheet metal structures. The present application does not limit the setting position, quantity and specific form of the avoidance structure 115. Those skilled in the art can set the avoidance structure 115 on the storage frame 11 according to the actual situation, so that the storage box 1 can fill the vacant position without interfering with other structures.
[0053] It should be noted that the technical solutions or technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the drawings. All modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
