[0038] See Figures 1 - 4 as shown;

[0039] A glove box lock structure includes a glove box outer panel 1, a glove box inner panel 2, a left locking tongue 3, a right locking tongue 4, a glove box handle 5, a felt 6, and a locking tongue guide sleeve 7. The glove box outer panel 1 and the glove box inner panel 2 are welded to form a glove box assembly. The left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 are installed inside the glove box assembly. The glove box handle 5 is installed on the glove box outer panel 1 and extends inward to the right locking tongue 4. Felt 6 is installed on the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4. The two ends of the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 are respectively inserted and blocked on one side of the locking tongue guide sleeve 7. It further includes:

[0040] A locking tongue connecting seat 8, which is installed on the glove box inner panel 2 by a self-tapping screw 9;

[0041] A bushing 10 is movably installed between the locking tongue connecting seat 8 and the self-tapping screw 9;

[0042] The locking tongue connecting seat 8 is connected between the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4;

[0043] The left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 are respectively connected to the glove box inner panel 2 by springs 11;

[0044] Press the glove box handle 5 until the right locking tongue 4 moves and drives the locking tongue connecting seat 8 to rotate clockwise along the bushing 10, causing the spring 11 to be gradually stretched, and the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 move towards each other away from the locking tongue guide sleeve 7 to open the box body;

[0045] Release the glove box handle 5, causing the spring 11 to gradually reset and drive the locking tongue connecting seat 8 to rotate counterclockwise along the bushing 10, and the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 move in the reverse direction to be inserted and blocked on the side of the locking tongue guide sleeve 7 to close the box body.

[0046] Specifically, for a glove box lock structure, a locking tongue connecting seat 8 is installed between the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4, replacing the traditional synchronizer structure with the locking tongue connecting seat 8. Among them, the locking tongue connecting seat 8 is fixed to the glove box inner panel 2 using a self-tapping screw 9. A bushing 10 is sleeved outside the self-tapping screw 9, and the locking tongue connecting seat 8 is installed outside the bushing 10. The locking tongue connecting seat 8 can rotate along the bushing 10. The two ends of the locking tongue connecting seat 8 are respectively connected to the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4. At the same time, springs 11 are respectively connected to the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4, and the other ends of the springs 11 are fixed to the glove box inner panel 2. When the left locking tongue 3 or the right locking tongue 4 moves, the spring 11 will stretch or rebound. The glove box handle 5 is installed on the glove box outer panel 1, and the glove box handle 5 can be pressed towards the inside of the box body;

[0047] When pressing the glove box handle 5, the glove box handle 5 moves towards the interior of the box body. As the glove box handle 5 gradually moves inwards, it squeezes the right locking tongue 4. At this time, the glove box handle 5 drives the right locking tongue 4 to move towards the left locking tongue 3. While the right locking tongue 4 is moving, it drives the locking tongue connecting seat 8 to rotate clockwise around the bushing 10, thereby driving the left locking tongue 3 to move towards the right locking tongue 4. After the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 move to a certain extent, there is no obstruction between them and the locking tongue guide sleeve 7, that is, the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 move together towards their central positions, and one end of the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 that originally blocked the locking tongue guide sleeve 7 moves away from the blocking position. At this time, the glove box opens;

[0048] When releasing the glove box handle 5, the springs 11 at both ends of the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 drive the locking tongues to move away from each other, and the locking tongue connecting seat 8 rotates counterclockwise around the bushing 10. When moving to the limit position, at this time, a blockage is formed between the left locking tongue 3, the right locking tongue 4 and the locking tongue guide sleeve 7, that is, both ends of the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 retreat back to the locking tongue guide sleeve 7. At this time, the glove box closes.

[0049] Furthermore, during the opening and closing processes of the glove box, the felts 6 on the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 play a role in buffering and noise reduction.

[0050] The locking tongue connecting seat 8 includes:

[0051] A connecting part one 81, a connecting part two 82 and a connecting part three 83 that are integrally formed and have their centers on the same straight line;

[0052] The connecting part one 81 is located between the connecting part two 82 and the connecting part three 83;

[0053] An installation hole 811 is provided at the center of the connecting part one 81;

[0054] The connecting part one 81 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bushing 10 through the installation hole 811;

[0055] The connecting part two 82 and the connecting part three 83 are respectively connected to the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4.

[0056] A first installation groove 31 is provided on the left locking tongue 3;

[0057] A second installation groove 41 is provided on the right locking tongue 4;

[0058] The connecting part two 82 and the connecting part three 83 are respectively installed in the first installation groove 31 and the second installation groove 41.

[0059] Among them, the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 have the same structure. The first installation groove 31 and the second installation groove 41 are respectively opened on the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4. The two end parts of the locking tongue connecting seat 8 are respectively installed in the first installation groove 31 and the second installation groove 41. Specifically, the middle part of the locking tongue connecting seat 8 is an annular structure, that is, the connecting part 81. The middle of the annular structure is the installation hole 811, which is used to install the bushing 10 and the self-tapping screw 9. The two sides of the connecting part 81 extend outward to form the connecting part 82 and the connecting part 82. And the connecting part 81, the connecting part 82 and the connecting part 82 are located on a straight line. When installed and used, the connecting part 82 is located in the first installation groove 31, and the connecting part 82 is located in the second installation groove 41. During the process of the locking tongue connecting seat 8 rotating under force, the connecting part 82 and the connecting part 83 drive the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 to move synchronously respectively. When the locking tongue connecting seat 8 rotates clockwise, the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 move towards each other. When the locking tongue connecting seat 8 rotates counterclockwise, the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 move away from each other. In this way, one end of the left locking tongue 3 and the right locking tongue 4 blocked at the locking tongue guide sleeve 7 is moved out or returned, thereby realizing the opening and closing actions of the glove box.

[0060] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described by way of illustration above. Undoubtedly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
