[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a glove box, comprising a glove box frame 1, a glove box compartment 2, and a damper 3. The glove box frame 1 is used to connect to the dashboard of a car, the glove box compartment 2 is embedded in the glove box frame 1, and the glove box compartment 2 is pivotally connected to the glove box frame 1. The damper 3 is mounted on the glove box frame 1, and the damper 3 is detachably connected to the glove box compartment 2. It should be noted that the dashboard referred to here refers to an assembly in the cab where various indicator instruments and an ignition switch are installed. The principle of the damper 3 is mainly to use the damping force generated by a medium such as gas, oil, or magnetic eddy current in the damper 3 to slow down the movement of the glove box compartment 2. Specifically, when the glove box compartment 2 begins to close, the medium (such as gas or oil) in the damper 3 will be squeezed, thereby generating a damping force. This force will slow down the movement of the glove box compartment 2, allowing it to close smoothly.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the damper 3 includes a cable 31, a body 32, and a pull rod (not shown). The body 32 is cylindrical, the pull rod is mounted within the body 32, and the cable 31 is detachably connected between the pull rod and the glove box 2. It should be noted that the damping force of the damper 3 is related to the stretched length of the cable 31. When the stretched length of the cable 31 is shorter, the damping force of the damper 3 is greater.

[0038] The glove box 2 is bucket-shaped, with a storage space 21 formed in the middle, opening upward, for convenient storage. It should be noted that, to facilitate detachable connection with the pull cord 31, the glove box 2 includes a hook 22, which is disposed on one side of the outer surface of the glove box 2. Furthermore, to facilitate pivotal connection with the glove box frame 1, the glove box 2 also includes a pivot portion 23, which is in the shape of a bump and disposed on one side of the outer surface of the bottom of the glove box 2. In some embodiments, there may be multiple pivot portions 23. In this embodiment, there are three pivot portions 23, which are linearly arranged at regular intervals along the length of the glove box 2.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the glove box frame 1 comprises a main frame 11 and a first connecting portion 12. The main frame 11 is generally a frame structure, with an opening 111 formed in the center, facing the passenger seat, to facilitate storage of the glove box 2. The first connecting portion 12 is disposed on the side of the main frame 11 and is used to connect a cable 31 removed from the glove box 2 to maintain the preset damping force of the damper 3. Specifically, the first connecting portion 12 is flange-shaped, or in this embodiment, cylindrical. It is formed within the main frame 11 and extends away from the side of the main frame 11. This allows the operator to secure one end of the cable 31 to the outer surface of the first connecting portion 12 after removing it from the hook 22 of the glove box 2. This helps avoid the need to retract the cable 31, which can lead to inconvenience when reattaching it to the hook 22, thus facilitating operation.

[0040] In this embodiment, to facilitate pivotal connection with the pivot portion 23 of the glove box hopper 2, the glove box frame 1 further includes a second connecting portion 13 disposed on the bottom of the frame body 11. Specifically, the second connecting portion 13 is a bump-shaped portion formed on the inner surface of the bottom of the frame body 11 and defines a pivot hole corresponding to the pivot portion 23 of the glove box hopper 2. This facilitates pivotal connection of the glove box hopper 2 to the glove box frame 1 via a pivot extending through the pivot hole.

[0041] Furthermore, to limit the rotation angle of the glove box hopper 2 relative to the glove box frame 1, the glove box frame 1 further includes a limiter 14. The limiter 14 is arc-shaped and disposed on the side of the frame body 11. Preferably, the limiter 14 is formed on the rotation path of the glove box hopper 2.

[0042] The glove box further includes a knob 5 that cooperates with the stopper 14. The knob 5 extends through the glove box compartment 2 and is detachably connected thereto. It is also movably connected to the stopper 14 on the frame body 11 to preferably limit the rotation angle of the glove box compartment 2 relative to the glove box frame 1. In some embodiments, there may be multiple knobs 5. In this embodiment, there are two knobs 5, one mounted on either side of the frame body 11.

[0043] like Figure 7As shown, to facilitate installation of the damper 3, the glove box frame 1 also includes a third connecting portion 15 disposed on the side of the frame body 11. Specifically, the third connecting portion 15 is in the shape of a convex column, disposed on the outer surface of the side of the frame body 11, and has a connecting hole corresponding to the damper 3, facilitating installation of the damper 3 on the glove box frame 1 via a fixing member inserted through the connecting hole. It should be noted that the fixing member referred to here may refer to a fastening screw. In some embodiments, there may be multiple third connecting portions 15. In this embodiment, there are two third connecting portions 15.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the damper 3 installed on the glove box frame 1 , reinforcing ribs in a staggered arrangement may be provided between the two third connecting portions 15 .

[0045] In this embodiment, to facilitate installation and maintenance of the vehicle air conditioner, the glove box frame 1 is provided with an opening 16. Specifically, the opening 16 and the third connecting portion 15 are located on the same side of the frame body 11, which in this embodiment may be the side of the glove box frame 1 closer to the front of the vehicle.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure the beauty and flatness of the vehicle body interior, the glove box also includes a glove box outer panel 4 that fits the glove box compartment 2. The glove box outer panel 4 is in the shape of an arc plate. Preferably, the shape of the glove box outer panel 4 matches the side shape of the glove box compartment 2.

[0047] A second embodiment of the present invention provides an automobile, comprising a glove box as described in the above embodiment. When it is necessary to remove the glove box compartment 2 for automobile maintenance, such as maintenance of an air conditioning filter located within the glove box, after opening the glove box compartment 2 and loosening the knob 5 to open the glove box compartment 2 to its maximum extent (approximately 90 degrees), one end of the pull wire 31 of the damper 3 can be removed from the hook 22 of the glove box compartment 2 and then connected to the outer surface of the first connecting portion 12 nearby to maintain the damping force of the damper 3 within the desired range. This facilitates the operator to reattach the pull wire 31 to the hook 22 on the glove box compartment 2 after the maintenance work is completed, thereby making the automobile convenient to disassemble and assemble during maintenance.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0049] The present invention provides a first connecting portion 12 on the glove box frame 1 for connecting the pull wire 31 removed from the glove box bucket 2 to maintain the preset damping force of the damper 3. This not only facilitates the replacement of the pull wire 31 removed from the glove box bucket 2 with the glove box bucket 2 after maintenance, but also helps reduce the labor intensity of the operator and makes the operation more convenient.
