Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a secondary instrument panel, a storage box thereof, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, many cars will have a storage box (inner bucket) at the rear end of the auxiliary instrument panel to facilitate the second row passengers to store and retrieve items and increase the storage space of the storage box.

[0003] However, existing storage boxes all use a push-push structure to open the storage box. Since the push-push structure is a structure that realizes its function through two pressing operations, it is not only complex in structure, but also occupies the internal space of the auxiliary instrument panel, resulting in a smaller storage space of the storage box and low storage practicality; moreover, the two-press operation is not convenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a sub-instrument panel, a storage box thereof and a vehicle, which increase the storage space of the storage box, improve its practicality and simplify the opening operation of the storage box.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problems is:

[0006] A storage box, mounted on a sub-instrument panel body, is characterized by comprising an inner bucket, which is a shell-like structure with a recessed central region. An inner bucket bushing is provided on the inner wall of the inner bucket, and a locking hole is provided in the inner bucket bushing. The locking hole is used to connect with a locking mechanism that locks the inner bucket to the sub-instrument panel body. Unlocking the box requires only disengaging the locking mechanism from the locking hole. This simple structure occupies less space in the inner bucket, thereby increasing the storage box's space.

[0007] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the inner bucket is provided with a rack extending along its length, which is configured to engage with a gear damper disposed within the auxiliary instrument panel body. This allows the inner bucket to move relatively smoothly and at a constant speed, ensuring smooth opening and enhancing the user experience.

[0008] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the inner bucket is provided with a guide rail or a guide groove extending along its length to guide the movement of the inner bucket and ensure the movement stability of the inner bucket.

[0009] In some embodiments, the inner bucket includes an inner bucket body, and a connecting plate is provided at the rear end of the inner bucket body, wherein the connecting plate is used to connect to an outer plate adapted to the auxiliary instrument panel body, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the storage box.

[0010] A secondary instrument panel, comprising:

[0011] A secondary instrument panel body, wherein the secondary instrument panel body is provided with an accommodating space with a rear end opening;

[0012] In the above-mentioned storage box, the inner bucket is inserted into the accommodating space through the opening and can move forward and backward along the accommodating space;

[0013] a locking mechanism connected to the auxiliary instrument panel body and the locking hole, for locking the inner bucket in the accommodating space;

[0014] an elastic reset mechanism, the elastic reset mechanism connecting the inner bucket and the auxiliary instrument panel body;

[0015] an unlocking mechanism, mounted on the inner bucket or the auxiliary instrument panel body, the unlocking mechanism comprising a button;

[0016] By pressing the button, the locking mechanism can be unlocked, so that the locking mechanism disconnects the inner bucket from the auxiliary instrument panel body, and the elastic reset mechanism pushes the inner bucket to move backward relative to the auxiliary instrument panel body under the pre-deformed elastic force.

[0017] As a result, the entire opening process of the storage box only requires a single button press, simplifying the opening operation. In addition, compared with a push-push structure that requires multiple mechanisms to cooperate, the coordination of the locking mechanism, driving mechanism, and unlocking mechanism takes up less space in the storage box, thereby increasing the storage space of the storage box and improving its practicality.

[0018] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism includes a locking tongue that engages with the locking hole, the locking tongue being movably mounted on the auxiliary instrument panel body and connected to the button. The specific structure of the locking mechanism is such that the inner bucket is locked to the accommodating space by engaging the locking tongue with the locking hole.

[0019] In some embodiments, a locking tongue guide sleeve is provided on the auxiliary instrument panel body, and the locking tongue is slidably connected to the locking tongue guide sleeve. When the inner bucket is fully accommodated in the accommodating space, the locking tongue guide sleeve corresponds to the locking hole, and the locking tongue is inserted into the locking hole along the locking tongue guide sleeve. The locking tongue guide sleeve guides the locking tongue, thereby facilitating the connection between the locking tongue and the locking hole.

[0020] In some embodiments, the auxiliary instrument panel body includes two side panels arranged opposite to each other and a bottom panel connecting the two side panels;

[0021] The elastic return mechanism includes a coil spring shaft rotatably mounted on the base plate and a brake slidably connected to the base plate. A coil spring is sleeved on the coil spring shaft, the outer end of which is connected to the brake, which is in turn connected to the inner bucket. The elastic return mechanism's specific structure is such that the coil spring drives the brake, thereby driving the inner bucket's movement.

[0022] In some embodiments, the bottom plate is provided with a guide groove extending along the front-to-back direction of the accommodating space, and the brake is slidably connected to the guide groove to ensure the movement accuracy of the brake.

[0023] In some embodiments, the gear damper is disposed on the bottom wall of the accommodating space, and a gear on the gear damper meshes with the rack. The specific location of the gear damper ensures that the movement of the inner bucket is relatively smooth and uniform, ensuring smooth opening of the inner bucket and improving the user experience.

[0024] In some embodiments, the guide rail is provided between the bottom wall of the inner bucket and the bottom wall of the accommodating space, and the inner bucket moves along the guide rail;

[0025] The inner wall of the accommodating space is provided with a guide bar extending along the front-rear direction thereof, and the other side of the guide bar abuts against the inner bucket.

[0026] The specific setting position of the guide rail ensures the movement stability of the inner bucket through the cooperation of the guide rail and the guide bar.

[0027] In some embodiments, a support frame is fixed to the upper end of the rear portion of the auxiliary instrument panel body, the unlocking mechanism is disposed on the support frame, and the locking mechanism is connected to the unlocking mechanism via a connecting rod. The unlocking mechanism is specifically configured. The unlocking structure and the locking mechanism are connected by a connecting rod, so that when a button is pressed, the unlocking mechanism is unlocked via the connecting rod.

[0028] In some embodiments, the unlocking mechanism includes a mounting base fixed to the support frame, the button being movably mounted within the mounting base, a knob being rotatably mounted at the lower end of the mounting base, one end of the connecting rod being hingedly connected to the knob, and the other end being connected to the unlocking mechanism. When the button is pressed, the button drives the knob to rotate, thereby driving the locking mechanism to disconnect the inner bucket from the auxiliary instrument panel body. The specific structure of the unlocking mechanism is that unlocking is achieved by the button driving the knob to rotate.

[0029] In some embodiments, the mounting seat is provided with a mounting slot, a torsion spring and a slider are provided in the mounting slot, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the knob, and the other end is connected to the slider;

[0030] The button is located within the mounting slot and abuts against the slider. When the button is pressed, it drives the slider to slide along the bottom surface of the mounting slot, causing the torsion spring to drive the knob to rotate. The specific connection structure between the button and the knob realizes the button driving the knob through the torsion spring and the slider.

[0031] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the slider is inclined toward the horizontal plane, the button includes a button body, the bottom of the button body is provided with a sleeve and a driving rod that are parallel and spaced apart, a return spring is provided in the sleeve, the lower end of the return spring abuts against the bottom surface of the mounting groove, and the lower end of the driving rod abuts against the upper surface of the slider.

[0032] The specific matching structure of the slider and the button enables the button to drive the slider and reset the button itself.

[0033] A vehicle comprises the above-mentioned auxiliary instrument panel.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0035] The storage box of the present application is provided with an inner bucket bushing on the inner wall of the inner bucket, and a locking hole is provided on the inner bucket bushing. The locking hole is used to connect with a locking mechanism that locks the inner bucket and the auxiliary instrument panel body. That is, when unlocking, it is only necessary to disengage the locking mechanism from the locking hole. The structure is simple and takes up less space in the inner bucket, thereby increasing the space of the storage box.

[0036] The auxiliary instrument panel and vehicle of the present application lock the inner bucket to the storage space by providing a locking mechanism, and provide an elastic reset mechanism to connect the inner bucket and the auxiliary instrument panel body. Simultaneously, the locking mechanism can be unlocked by pressing a button, so that the locking mechanism disconnects the inner bucket from the auxiliary instrument panel body. The elastic reset mechanism, under the elastic force of pre-deformation, pushes the inner bucket backward relative to the auxiliary instrument panel body to open the storage box. That is, the entire opening process only requires a single button press, simplifying the storage box opening operation. In addition, the coordination of the locking mechanism, elastic reset mechanism, and unlocking mechanism takes up less space in the storage box than a push-push structure that requires the coordination of multiple mechanisms, thereby increasing the storage space of the storage box and improving the practicality of the storage box.

[0053] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0054] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "mounted," "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components or interactions between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

[0055] In this application, the front and rear are both based on the side panel installed in the car, the end close to the second row of seats is the rear, and the end close to the instrument panel is the front. Figure 4 The vehicle's forward direction is the front-back direction.

[0056] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present application includes a sub-instrument panel, comprising a sub-instrument panel body 1, a storage box 2, a locking mechanism 3, an elastic return mechanism 4, and an unlocking mechanism 5. The sub-instrument panel body 1 is provided with a storage space 14 with a rear end opening. The storage space 14 is enclosed by a base plate, the outer wall of which is provided with reinforcing ribs. Specifically, the base plate includes two opposing side panels 11 and a bottom plate 12 connecting the two side panels 11. The front ends of the side panels 11 are connected to the vehicle's instrument panel, and a cup holder, etc., is provided in the middle between the two side panels 11.

[0057] Please see the attached Figure 7 The storage box 2 includes an inner bucket 21, which is a shell-like structure with a recessed middle area. The recessed middle area is used to place items. The inner wall of the inner bucket 21 is provided with an inner bucket bushing 23, and the inner bucket bushing 23 is provided with a locking hole 24. The locking hole 24 is used to connect with the locking mechanism 3 that locks the inner bucket 21 with the auxiliary instrument panel body. By providing the inner bucket bushing 23 on the inner wall of the inner bucket 21, and providing the locking hole 24 on the inner bucket bushing 23, and connecting with the locking mechanism that locks the inner bucket 21 with the auxiliary instrument panel body 1, that is, when unlocking, it is only necessary to disengage the locking mechanism 3 from the locking hole 24. The structure is simple, and less space is occupied in the inner bucket 21, thereby increasing the space of the storage box.

[0058] The inner bucket 21 is inserted into the accommodating space 14 through the opening and can move along the front-rear direction of the accommodating space 14; the locking mechanism 3 connects the locking hole 24 of the auxiliary instrument panel body 1 and the inner bucket 21, and is used to lock the inner bucket 21 in the accommodating space 14; the elastic reset mechanism 4 connects the inner bucket 21 and the auxiliary instrument panel body 1; the unlocking mechanism 5 is installed on the inner bucket 21 or the auxiliary instrument panel body 1, and includes a button 51. By pressing the button 51, the locking mechanism 3 can be unlocked, so that the locking mechanism 3 disconnects the connection between the inner bucket 21 and the auxiliary instrument panel body 1, and the elastic reset mechanism 4 pushes the inner bucket 21 to move backward relative to the auxiliary instrument panel body 1 under the elastic force of the pre-deformation. Inner bucket 21

[0059] Based on the above-mentioned features, the auxiliary instrument panel locks the inner bucket 21 in the accommodating space 14 by providing a locking mechanism 3, and provides an elastic reset mechanism 4 to connect the inner bucket 21 and the auxiliary instrument panel body 1. At the same time, the locking mechanism 3 can be unlocked by pressing the button 51, so that the locking mechanism 3 disconnects the inner bucket 21 from the auxiliary instrument panel body 1. The elastic reset mechanism 4, under the elastic force of the pre-deformation, pushes the inner bucket 21 backward relative to the auxiliary instrument panel body 1 to open the storage box. That is, the entire opening process only requires pressing the button 51 once, which simplifies the storage box opening operation. In addition, the coordination of the locking mechanism 3, the elastic reset mechanism 4, and the unlocking mechanism 5 takes up less space in the storage box than a push-push structure that requires the coordination of multiple mechanisms, thereby increasing the storage space of the storage box 100 and improving the practicality of the storage box.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking mechanism 3 includes a locking tongue 31 that engages with the locking hole 24. The locking tongue 31 is movably mounted on the auxiliary instrument panel body 1 and connected to the button 51. Specifically, there are two inner bucket bushings 23, one on each side of the inner bucket 21. Correspondingly, there are also two locking tongues 31. This ensures that when locking, the force is evenly applied to both sides of the inner bucket 21, ensuring a secure locking effect. When the button 51 is pressed, it drives the locking tongue 31 out of the locking hole 24, thereby unlocking the locking mechanism 3.

[0061] To facilitate the connection between the locking tongue 31 and the locking hole 24, a locking tongue guide sleeve 32 is provided on the inner wall of the side panel 11. The locking tongue 31 slides onto the locking tongue guide sleeve 32. When the inner bucket 21 is fully contained within the accommodating space 14, the locking tongue guide sleeve 32 aligns with the locking hole 24, i.e., the centerline of the locking tongue guide sleeve 32 coincides with the center of the circle of the locking hole 24. The locking tongue 31 slides along the locking tongue guide sleeve 32, thereby connecting the locking tongue 31 to the locking hole 24 through the guidance of the locking tongue guide sleeve 32, ensuring a smooth connection. During installation, a mounting plate can be provided on the side panel 11, and the locking tongue guide sleeve 32 can be mounted on the mounting plate.

[0062] like Figure 4 、 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic return mechanism 4 includes a coil spring shaft 41 rotatably mounted on the base plate 12 and a brake 42 slidably connected to the base plate 12. The coil spring shaft 41 is rotatable, and a coil spring 43 is sleeved on the coil spring shaft 41. The inner end of the coil spring 43 is fixedly connected to the coil spring shaft 41, and the outer end of the coil spring 43 is connected to the brake 42. The brake 42 is connected to the inner bucket 21. Specifically, the brake 42 includes a sliding portion 421 and a driving portion 422. The sliding portion 421 is connected to the coil spring 43. The driving portion 422 abuts against the front end surface of the inner bucket 21. A felt 44 is provided between the driving portion 422 and the inner bucket 21 to prevent the brake 42 from damaging the inner bucket 21. The felt 44 can be directly fixed to the driving portion 422 or to the front end surface of the inner bucket 21.

[0063] When the inner bucket 21 is completely accommodated in the accommodating space 14, the coil spring 43 is in a stretched state. As a result, the drive unit generates a backward thrust on the inner bucket 21 under the action of the coil spring 43. However, the inner bucket 21 does not move under the action of the locking mechanism 3. When the unlocking mechanism 5 is unlocked, the inner bucket 21 moves backward under the action of this thrust, thereby opening the inner bucket 21.

[0064] At the same time, in order to facilitate the installation of the coil spring 43, a downwardly recessed installation groove is provided in the middle of the base plate 12, and the coil spring 43 is arranged in the installation groove, and a cover 45 is provided on the upper cover of the coil spring 43. When the cover 45 is installed, the upper surface of the cover 45 is roughly flush with the upper surface of the base plate 12, thereby avoiding the installation of the coil spring 43 from encroaching on the space of the accommodating space 14 in the height direction, thereby ensuring the storage space of the storage box 100.

[0065] Furthermore, to ensure the precise movement of the brake 42, a guide groove 13 extending along the length of the base plate 12 is provided, into which the brake 42 slides. The guide groove 13 is shorter than the length of the base plate 12. When the brake 42 reaches the rearmost end of the guide groove 13, it cannot move further backward. This means that the brake 42 will not fully open the inner bucket 21. In actual use, if the inner bucket 21 needs to be opened further, even if it moves further backward relative to the accommodating space 14, the inner bucket 21 can be manually moved backwards. At this point, the brake 42 will disengage from the inner bucket 21.

[0066] In this embodiment, since the opening of the inner bucket 21 is achieved by the action of the coil spring 43, and the contraction of the coil spring 43 is not uniform, to ensure the stability of the movement of the inner bucket 21, a rack 22 extending along the length of the outer surface of the bottom wall of the inner bucket 21 is provided. The bottom plate 12 is provided with a gear damper 7, and the gear on the gear damper 7 meshes with the rack 22. The interaction between the gear damper 7 and the rack 22 ensures that the movement of the inner bucket 21 is relatively smooth and uniform, ensuring smooth opening of the inner bucket and improving the user experience.

[0067] At the same time, to further ensure the movement stability of the inner bucket 21, a guide rail 10 is provided between the bottom wall of the inner bucket 21 and the bottom plate 12. Preferably, two guide rails 10 are provided, one on each side of the inner bucket 21, thereby ensuring balanced support for the inner bucket 21 and improving movement stability. The guide rail 10 can be a two-section guide rail, one side of which is connected to the inner bucket 21 and the other side is connected to the bottom plate 12. Alternatively, a strip-shaped guide rail can be provided on the inner bucket 21, with a chute provided on the bottom plate 12, along which the guide rail 10 moves; or the guide rail 10 can be provided on the bottom plate 12, with a chute provided on the inner bucket 21. Under the action of the guide rail 10, the bottom of the inner bucket 21 moves smoothly. In addition, the inner wall of the side panel 11 is provided with a guide bar 20 extending along the front-to-rear direction thereof, and the other side of the guide bar 20 abuts against the inner bucket 21, that is, when the inner bucket 21 moves, the side wall moves along the guide bar 20, combined with the guide rail 10, the movement stability of the inner bucket 21 is fully guaranteed.

[0068] In this embodiment, a support frame 8 is fixed to the upper rear end of the auxiliary instrument panel body 1, and the unlocking mechanism 5 is disposed on this support frame 8. Specifically, the support frame 8 includes a frame body 81, with connecting plates provided at both ends of one side of the frame body 81. These connecting plates are connected to the upper ends of the side panels 11 via screws 6. A mounting plate may also be provided on the frame body 81, and the lock tongue guide sleeve 32 is disposed on this mounting plate. The unlocking mechanism 5 is disposed on this frame body 81.

[0069] like Figure 3 、 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the unlocking mechanism 5 includes a mounting base 52 fixed to the frame 81. The button 51 is movably disposed in the mounting base 52. A knob 53 is rotatably disposed at the lower end of the mounting base 52. Specifically, a rotating shaft is disposed at the lower end of the mounting base 52, and the knob 53 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. Two mounting posts 54 are disposed on the edge of the knob 53 facing away from the mounting base 52. The mounting posts 54 and the knob are mated to a ball-shaped hole, i.e., the mounting posts 54 and the knob 53 are hingedly connected. Two connecting rods 55 are provided, each connected to the two locking tongues 31. The other end of the connecting rod 55 is rotatably connected to the mounting post 54, thereby achieving a hinged connection between the connecting rod 55 and the knob 53. The connecting rod 55 can also be directly connected to the knob 53, i.e., the mounting post 54 is part of the connecting rod 55. When the button 51 is pressed, the button 51 drives the knob 53 to rotate, so as to drive the locking mechanism 3 to disconnect the inner bucket 21 from the auxiliary instrument panel body 1 .

[0070] In this embodiment, a mounting groove is provided inside the mounting seat 52, and a torsion spring 57 and a slider (not shown in the figure) are provided in the mounting groove. One end of the torsion spring 57 is connected to the knob 53, and the other end is connected to the slider. The button 51 is provided in the mounting groove and abuts against the slider. When the button 51 is pressed, the button 51 drives the slider to slide along the bottom surface of the mounting groove, so that the torsion spring 57 drives the knob 53 to rotate, thereby causing the two mounting posts 54 to rotate around the rotating shaft. During the rotation, the relative distance between the mounting post 54 and the locking hole 24 changes, thereby driving the connecting rod 55 to drive the locking tongue 31 to move relative to the locking hole 24, thereby realizing the locking and release of the inner bucket 21.

[0071] During installation, a slide groove can be provided on the bottom surface of the installation groove, and the slider moves along the slide groove. A positioning shaft can also be provided on the bottom surface of the installation groove, and the torsion spring 57 is sleeved on the positioning shaft.

[0072] The upper surface of the slider is tilted toward the horizontal plane. The button includes a button body. The bottom of the button body is provided with a sleeve and a drive rod extending away from the button body. The sleeve and the drive rod are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the sleeve is preferably arranged in the middle of the button body. A return spring 56 is provided in the sleeve. The lower end of the return spring 56 abuts against the bottom surface of the mounting groove, and the lower end of the drive rod abuts against the upper surface of the slider. That is, when the button 51 is pressed, the drive rod applies force to the slider. Due to the tilted upper surface of the slider, the slider slides, thereby driving the torsion spring 57 to rotate, which in turn drives the knob 53 to rotate. After the button 51 is released, the button 51 is reset under the action of the return spring 56.

[0073] In this embodiment, the rear end of the inner bucket 21 is provided with an outer plate 9. When the inner bucket 21 is fully accommodated in the accommodating space 14, the outer plate 9 is located directly below the frame 81 of the support frame 8, and the projection of the outer side of the support frame 8 on the outer plate 9 completely overlaps with the outer side surface of the outer plate 9. Preferably, the outer side surface of the outer plate 9 is arc-shaped, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the storage box 100. At the same time, to ensure the stability of the connection between the inner bucket 21 and the outer plate 9, the inner bucket 21 includes an inner bucket body 211. The rear end of the inner bucket body 211 is provided with a connecting plate 212 that matches the shape of the outer plate 9. The connecting plate 212 is connected to the outer plate 9. The inner bucket bushing 23 is provided on the connecting plate 212.

[0074] As can be seen from the above, the storage box 100 of the present application can be divided into four working conditions during operation, namely, the storage box 100 is closed, automatically opened, manually opened, and closed. The working principle of each working condition is as follows:

[0075] 1. Closed state

[0076] When the storage box 100 is in the closed state, the torsion force of the torsion spring 57 causes the knob 53 to have a rotational force, which acts on the lock tongue 31 through the connecting rod 55, causing the lock tongue 31 to move toward the locking hole 24 and connect with the locking hole 24, thereby locking the inner bucket 21 relative to the accommodating space 14. At this time, the coil spring 43 is in a stretched state, and the felt 44 on the brake 42 is in contact with the inner bucket 21 under the action of the coil spring 43, generating a backward thrust on the inner bucket 21. Since the inner bucket bushing 23 is fixed to the inner bucket 21, that is, the inner bucket bushing 23 has a backward force, the inner bucket bushing 23 and the lock tongue 31 are in contact, ensuring that the storage box 100 is in the closed state.

[0077] 2. Automatic opening process (spring action process)

[0078] When the button 51 is pressed, it overcomes the forces of the return spring 56 and torsion spring 57, pushing the knob 53 to begin rotating. The mounting posts 54 and knob 53 are spherically mated. As the knob 53 begins rotating, the two mounting posts 54 rotate about the center of the knob 53. The two connecting rods 55, driven by the mounting posts 54, move toward the center of the knob 53, causing the locking tongue 31 to disengage from the locking hole 24. When the connecting rods 55 drive the locking tongue 31 to disengage from the locking hole 24 of the inner bucket bushing 23, the brake 42, driven by the coil spring 43, begins to move along the guide groove 13 on the bottom plate 12 toward the rear of the storage box 100. During this movement, the rack 22 cooperates with the gear damper 7 mounted on the base plate, ensuring a relatively smooth and uniform motion of the inner bucket 21 until the brake 42 reaches the limit position of the guide groove 13, completing the automatic opening process of the inner bucket 21.

[0079] 3. Manual opening process

[0080] After the inner bucket 21 completes the automatic opening process (spring action process), a force can be applied to the inner bucket 21 along the guide rail 10 toward the rear of the storage box 100 to continue opening the inner bucket 21 to the extreme sliding position of the guide rail 10, thereby achieving the maximum opening of the inner bucket 21.

[0081] 4. Closing Process

[0082] When the storage box 100 needs to be closed, a force is applied to the outer plate 9 of the storage box 100 along the guide rail 10 toward the front of the storage box 100, and the inner bucket 21 is pushed forward along the guide rail 10 until the inner bucket 21 contacts the brake 42. The force forward along the guide rail 10 continues to be applied. At this time, the brake 42 will move along the guide groove 13 together with the inner bucket 21. When the inner bucket bushing 23 contacts the lock tongue 31, the lock tongue 31 pushes the connecting rod 55 to move toward the knob 53. Under the action of the two opposite connecting rods 55, the knob 53 overcomes the force of the torsion spring 57 and rotates. When the inner bucket 21 moves to the locking hole 24 corresponding to the lock tongue guide sleeve 32, the torsion spring 57 is reset. Under the action of the torsion spring 57, the lock tongue 31 extends into the locking hole 24, stops applying force to the outer plate 9 of the storage box 100, and the storage box 100 is in a closed state.

[0083] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application also provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned auxiliary instrument panel.

[0084] Based on the above-mentioned features, the storage box 100 of the auxiliary instrument panel only needs to be opened by pressing the button 51 once, which simplifies the opening operation of the storage box 100. At the same time, the auxiliary instrument panel is an integrated substrate, and the storage box 100 has a large storage space, which improves the practicality of the storage box 100.

[0085] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
