It should be noted that: unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions, and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0034] The description of at least one exemplary embodiment below is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way a limitation on the present invention or its application or use.

[0035] Technologies, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the said technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0036] In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0037] According to the first aspect of the present invention, as Figures 1-9As shown, a locking structure of a storage box is provided, comprising a mounting panel 1 and a storage box 2 mounted on the mounting panel 1, a locking device and a driving device, wherein the storage box 2 is pivotally connected to the mounting panel 1, two locking parts 21 are arranged opposite to each other on the storage box 2, a through hole 11 corresponding to the position of the locking part 21 is arranged on the mounting panel 1, when the storage box 2 is closed, the locking part 21 passes through the through hole 11 and is partially located on a side of the mounting panel 1 where the locking device is mounted, and a locking hole 211 is arranged on the locking part 21; the locking device comprises a gear 5 and two locking rods 4, two of which are The locking rod 4 includes a rack 41, a connecting part 42 and a locking shaft 43 connected in sequence. The two racks 41 are arranged relatively parallel and meshed with the middle gear 5 at the same time. The two connecting parts 42 are respectively located on both sides of the gear 5. The two locking shafts 43 are respectively plugged into the locking holes 211 on the two locking parts 21; the driving device is connected to one of the locking rods 4 and drives the locking rod 4 to move translationally, and drives the other locking rod 4 to move translationally relative to the gear 5, so that the two locking shafts 43 are disconnected from the locking holes 211 at the same time, thereby unlocking the storage box 2.

[0038] With the continuous development and progress of the automobile industry, the functions of automobile interiors are becoming more and more intelligent and technological. The ease of use of the storage box 2 has become more and more of a focus of concern for users. How to make the storage box 2 more convenient to use and more technological has become a major research and development task. The storage box 2 is the main storage space on an electric car and has a very high usage rate. During long-term use, it needs to be opened and closed frequently. Most of the existing storage boxes 2 are unlocked with mechanical buckles, which can only meet basic functional requirements and do not conform to the trend of increasingly electric and intelligent development of automobiles.

[0039] The utility model adopts a driving device to drive one of the lock rods 4 connected thereto to translate, and drives the other lock rod 4 to translate relatively through the gear 5, and the two locking shafts 43 are disconnected from the stop holes at the same time to realize the opening of the storage box 2. This motion structure is compact, simple to implement, and convenient for the operator to use.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the driving device includes a motor 3 and a driving shaft 31 drivingly connected to the output shaft of the motor 3, wherein a driving portion 44 is provided on the outer wall of one of the locking rods 4, and the driving shaft 31 is abutted against the driving portion 44 and drives the locking rod 4 to move translationally.

[0041] The motor 3 drives the drive shaft to apply a thrust to the pushing part 44, thereby driving a locking rod 4 to translate, and driving another locking rod 4 to translate relatively through the gear 5, so that the two locking shafts 43 are disengaged from the locking holes 211 at the same time, thereby unlocking the storage box 2. This movement structure is compact, while enhancing the technological sense of the product and improving the user experience.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figures 7-8 shown, the locking device further includes a fixed seat 6 installed on the installation panel 1. A linkage shaft is vertically provided on the fixed seat 6, and the gear 5 is sleeved on the linkage shaft 61 and can rotate around the linkage shaft.

[0043] The gear 5 is sleeved on the linkage shaft on the fixed seat 6 and can rotate around the linkage shaft 61, realizing that the racks 41 on the two locking rods 4 are relatively parallel and meshed with the middle gear 5 at the same time, ensuring the stable operation of the locking device during the unlocking and locking processes.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, it further includes a return tension spring 7. One end of the fixed seat 6 close to any one of the locking parts 21 is vertically provided with an installation post 62. One end of the return tension spring 7 is connected to the installation post 62, and the other end is connected to the free end of the rack 41 away from the installation post 62. When the storage box 2 is unlocked, the return tension spring 7 is in a stretched state. When the driving device is reset, the return tension spring 7 drives the locking rod 4 connected to it to translate, and drives another locking rod 4 to translate through the gear 5, so that the two locking shafts 43 move towards the position of the locking part 21.

[0045] When the storage box 2 is unlocked, the return tension spring 7 drives a locking rod 4 connected to it to translate, and drives another locking rod 4 to translate relatively through the gear 5, so that the two locking shafts 43 move towards the position of the locking part 21. The solution of realizing the reset of the locking rod 4 to the locking position through the return tension spring 7 has a simple and stable structure, low cost of parts, convenient installation and stronger practicability.

[0046] In some embodiments, one end of the locking shaft 43 facing its corresponding through hole 11 is provided with a first guide inclined surface. When the storage box 2 is closed, the locking part 21 pushes the first guide inclined surface to make the locking rod 4 translate, and the return tension spring 7 is in a stretched state. After the locking part 21 is in place, the locking shaft 43 is inserted into the locking hole 211 under the drive of the return tension spring 7.

[0047] During the closing process of the storage box 2, the locking portion 21 pushes the first guiding inclined surface to translate the locking rod 4. This is to prevent interference between the locking shaft 43 in the locking position and the storage box 2 pivoted to the closed position, which may affect the closing of the storage box 2. Guided by the first guiding inclined surface, the translation of the locking rod 4 can also reduce the damage to both the locking portion 21 and the locking rod 4 when they come into contact, protecting the structures of the locking portion 21 and the locking shaft 43.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, a second guiding inclined surface 431 is provided on one side of the free end of the locking portion 21 facing the locking hole 211. When the storage box 2 is closed, the second guiding inclined surface 431 cooperates with the first guiding inclined surface to push the locking rod 4 to translate.

[0049] The second guiding inclined surface 431 can play a role in guiding the translational movement of the locking rod 4, so that the locking shaft 43 enters the locking hole 211 under the guidance of the second guiding inclined surface 431 and locks with the locking hole 211.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 9 shown, at least one guiding post 12 is provided on the mounting panel 1 in close contact with the outer surface of the locking rod 4.

[0051] During the process of the two locking shafts 43 connecting to and disengaging from the locking holes 211 simultaneously, the guiding post 12 plays a guiding role in the translational process of the locking rod 4, making the locking device operate stably, and the two locking shafts 43 can be accurately inserted into and disengaged from the locking holes 211 coaxially.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 shown, at least two bending portions are provided on the locking rod 4 to make the axis of the locking shaft 43 close to the symmetry axis of the two racks 41.

[0053] This design not only ensures the coaxiality of the two locking shafts 43, but also can reduce the layout space of the locking device. The overall structure is small, precise and operates stably.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the rack 41, the connecting portion 42 and the locking shaft 43 are integrally formed by an injection molding process.

[0055] The rack 41, the connecting portion 42 and the locking shaft 43 are integrally formed by an injection molding process, making the structure of the locking rod 4 have higher overall strength, longer service life and is not easily damaged.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a rotating shaft 22 is provided at the lower end of the storage box 2, and the storage box 2 is pivotally connected to the mounting panel 1 through the rotating shaft 22. A torsion spring 8 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 22. After the two locking shafts 43 are disengaged from the locking holes 211 at the same time, the torsion spring 8 drives the storage box 2 to open.

[0057] The driving device drives one of the locking rods 4 connected thereto to move translationally, and drives the other locking rod 4 to move relatively translationally through the gear 5. The two locking shafts 43 are disengaged from the locking holes 211 at the same time, so that the storage box 2 is unlocked. The torsion spring 8 drives the storage box 2 to open. With the cooperation of the driving device, the locking device and the torsion spring 8, the electric opening of the storage box 2 is realized, which has a sense of technology and conforms to the development trend of the increasingly electric and intelligent automobiles.

[0058] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are only for illustration and not for limiting the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments can be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
