Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular relates to a sub-instrument panel storage structure and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Vehicle interior design increasingly prioritizes usability, with the richness and convenience of storage options particularly important in the center console area. Existing vehicles often hollow out the lower portion of the center console to increase storage space, but this location is inconvenient for accessing and placing items, and the design of storage space there also impacts the layout of components such as the rear air ducts, shifter, and wireless charger. Consequently, some vehicles are experimenting with side-opening storage boxes within the center console.

[0003] Currently, side-opening storage boxes are typically constructed by combining a storage space within the secondary instrument panel with a switch cover on the side wall. This makes it easier for drivers and passengers to easily access items. However, since the switch cover is typically hinged on one side and secured with a locking fastener on the other, opening and closing it requires operating the locking fastener, making access more complex. Furthermore, the locking fastener can become worn and loosened with increased frequency, leading to unusual noises. Furthermore, since the switch cover is directly connected to the secondary instrument panel, frequent opening and closing can easily cause wear at the connection point, necessitating replacement of the entire secondary instrument panel to resolve the noise issue. This leads to high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] An embodiment of the utility model provides a storage structure for a sub-instrument panel, aiming to improve the ease of use and operation of the storage structure for the sub-instrument panel, avoid abnormal noise and reduce maintenance costs.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: in the first aspect, a sub-instrument panel storage structure is provided, comprising a sub-instrument panel body, a storage box body and a box cover; the sub-instrument panel body has a concave space on the side wall facing the main driver's seat and / or the co-driver's seat; the storage box body is embedded in the concave space, and forms a storage space with a side opening together with the wall of the concave space; the box cover is hinged to the storage box body and the hinge position is at the lower edge of the side opening, and the front end and / or rear end of the box cover is connected to the storage box body or the sub-instrument panel body by an elastic band; wherein the elastic band is used to pull the box cover to flip over to close the side opening, and is also used to form a barrier to the front end and / or rear end of the side opening when the box cover is opened.

[0006] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, elastic bands are connected to the front and rear ends of the box cover, and first strap holes are opened on the front and rear edges of the storage box body; wherein, each elastic band passes through each first strap hole respectively and is fixedly connected to the auxiliary instrument panel body respectively.

[0007] In some embodiments, a second strap hole is opened on the wall of the auxiliary instrument panel body corresponding to each first strap hole.

The positioning rib is inserted into the positioning hole, and the front and rear sides of the positioning rib are provided with a first connecting ear.

[0010] In a possible implementation, position limiting support ribs are arranged at the locations where the front and rear walls of the concave space meet the lower wall, and the storage box body rests against each position limiting support rib.

[0011] In some embodiments, the box lid includes a frame and a cover plate; wherein, the frame is hinged to the storage box body and connected to the elastic band, and the frame rests against the storage box body under the elastic traction of the elastic band; the cover plate is fixedly connected to the frame and matches the boundary of the side opening.

[0012] For example, a plurality of clamping posts are spaced apart on the edges of the cover plate, a plurality of clamping holes are spaced apart on the frame, and each clamping post passes through each clamping hole and is clamped with the clamping hole.

[0013] For example, buffer pins are inserted into the clamping columns at the top of the front and rear edges of the cover, and the buffer pins are used to elastically press the storage box body when the box cover is closed.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the sub-instrument panel storage structure provided by the utility model is that compared with the prior art, the sub-instrument panel storage structure of the utility model embeds the storage box body in the concave space set on the side wall of the sub-instrument panel body, and forms a storage space with a side opening together with the wall surface of the concave space, and on this basis, the box cover is hinged to the storage box body, which can avoid wear on the sub-instrument panel body during the opening and closing of the box cover, and the box cover and the storage box body can be disassembled and replaced separately for repair and maintenance, thereby reducing maintenance costs; on this basis, the box cover can maintain a closed state with the side opening closed under the traction of the elastic band, and the box cover can be directly pulled to the side to take and put items into the storage space, thereby reducing the additional unlocking action for taking and putting items, improving operational convenience, and utilizing the elastic traction force of the elastic band on the box cover to maintain a stable closed state, so that even if there is slight wear between the box cover and the storage box body, the box cover can be closed without a gap, thereby avoiding abnormal noise problems and improving the user experience.

The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, "multiple" and "several" mean two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0026] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 6The auxiliary instrument panel storage structure provided by the present invention will now be described. The auxiliary instrument panel storage structure comprises an auxiliary instrument panel body 10, a storage box body 20, and a box cover 30. The auxiliary instrument panel body 10 has a concave space 100 on its side wall facing the driver's seat and / or the passenger seat. The storage box body 20 is embedded in the concave space 100 and, together with the wall of the concave space 100, forms a storage space 200 having a side opening 201. The box cover 30 is hinged to the storage box body 20 at the lower edge of the side opening 201. The front and / or rear end of the box cover 30 is connected to the storage box body 20 or the auxiliary instrument panel body 10 via an elastic band 40. The elastic band 40 is used to pull the box cover 30 to flip over to close the side opening 201, and is also used to form a barrier against the front and / or rear end of the side opening 201 when the box cover 30 is opened.

[0027] It should be noted that the auxiliary instrument panel body 10 is located between the main driver's seat and the passenger seat. For models with a gear shifter on the auxiliary instrument panel, since the gear shifter is usually set close to the main driver's seat, considering the installation layout space, it is preferred to set a concave space 100 on the side wall of the auxiliary instrument panel facing the passenger seat for embedding the storage box body 20; for some models that set the gear shifter in other positions, such as hand-shift models, concave spaces 100 can be set on both side walls of the auxiliary instrument panel facing the main driver's seat and the passenger seat, and the storage box body 20 can be embedded in each.

[0028] In this embodiment, the recessed space 100 is preferably positioned on the auxiliary instrument panel so that it does not interfere with the open lid 30 when the seat 50 is adjusted forward to its maximum position. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the storage space 200 can utilize the wall surface of the recessed space 100, so the storage box body 20 can be a closed frame structure or a U-shaped frame structure with an open top. When a U-shaped frame structure is adopted, the upper cover of the auxiliary instrument panel can be used to seal the opening of the U-shaped frame. Since the storage box body 20 can eliminate two side walls located in the width direction of the vehicle body, it can reduce material consumption, save costs, and promote lightweighting. To improve installation reliability, after the storage box body 20 is embedded in the recessed space 100, additional screwing, bonding, or clamping structures can be added to enhance the connection and fixing strength.

[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom of the box cover 30 is hinged to the bottom of the storage box body 20 to form a connection mode in which the upper edge of the box cover 30 flips the switch to the side. On this basis, the elastic band 40 can be connected to the middle or upper edge of the box cover 30, thereby ensuring that the elastic band 40 can pull the flipping force arm of the box cover 30, thereby improving the closing force of the box cover 30 under the elastic traction force of the elastic band 40, thereby avoiding the box cover 30 from closing tightly and causing abnormal noise problems; specifically, an elastic band 40 can be connected to the front end of the box cover 30, or an elastic band 40 can be connected to the rear end of the box cover 30. Considering the force balance at the front and rear ends of the box cover 30, it is preferred to connect an elastic band 40 to the front and rear ends of the box cover 30; in addition, since a front opening gap appears between the box cover 30 and the storage box body 20 after the box cover 30 is opened, the elastic band 40 can form a barrier to the opening gap, thereby preventing items in the storage space 200 from falling.

[0030] It needs to be explained that, Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a groove 302 can be provided on the outer surface of the box cover 30 to facilitate the hand-pull operation to open it. At the same time, in order to ensure that a relatively open access opening can be formed between the box cover 30 and the upper part of the storage box body 20 after the box cover 30 is opened, the upper edge of the box cover 30 can be appropriately turned outward to form a wide-mouthed form after it is opened.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the sub-instrument panel storage structure provided by this embodiment has a storage box body 20 embedded in the concave space 100 provided on the side wall of the sub-instrument panel body 10, and forms a storage space 200 with a side opening 201 with the wall surface of the concave space 100. On this basis, the box cover 30 is hinged to the storage box body 20, which can avoid the sub-instrument panel body 10 from being worn during the opening and closing of the box cover 30. The box cover 30 and the storage box body 20 can be disassembled and replaced separately for maintenance, thereby reducing maintenance costs. The box lid 30 can maintain a closed state with the side opening 201 sealed under the traction of the elastic band 40. The box lid 30 can be directly pulled to the side to take out and put items into the storage space 200, thereby reducing the additional unlocking action for taking and putting items, improving operational convenience, and utilizing the elastic traction force of the elastic band 40 on the box lid 30 to maintain a stable closed state. Even if there is slight wear between the box lid 30 and the storage box body 20, the box lid 30 can be closed without a gap, thereby avoiding abnormal noise problems and improving the user experience.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 6Elastic bands 40 are connected to the front and rear ends of the lid 30, and first band holes 21 are formed on the front and rear edges of the storage box body 20. Each elastic band 40 passes through a corresponding first band hole 21 and is fixedly connected to the auxiliary instrument panel body 10. Considering that the elastic bands 40 need to have sufficient elastic elongation when the lid 30 is opened, if the elastic bands 40 are insufficiently long, the lid 30 cannot be fully opened. Therefore, the elastic bands 40 are passed through the first band holes 21 and then connected to the auxiliary instrument panel body 10. This meets the elastic band 40's extension length requirement, thereby ensuring that the lid 30 can form a larger opening angle, making it easier to take items into and out of the storage space 200.

[0033] Please note that Figure 5 and Figure 6 The auxiliary instrument panel body 10 is provided with second strap holes 103 at the wall positions corresponding to each first strap holes 21. The elastic band 40 passes through the second strap holes 103 and forms a telescopic section 41 inside the auxiliary instrument panel body 10. The telescopic section 41 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary instrument panel body 10.

[0034] The elastic band 40 can pass through the second band hole 103 and penetrate deep into the interior of the auxiliary instrument panel body 10, thereby preventing the elastic band 40 from hooking onto items in the storage space 200 and affecting the smooth opening and closing of the box cover 30. At the same time, the elastic band 40 can also form a longer telescopic section 41 inside the auxiliary instrument panel body 10, thereby increasing the overall tensile deformation of the elastic band 40 and ensuring that the box cover 30 has a sufficient opening angle to facilitate the taking and placing of items into the storage space 200.

[0035] For details, see Figure 3 A hook rib 105 is provided on the inner wall of the sub-instrument panel body 10 at a position corresponding to the recessed space 100. The expansion section 41 formed by the elastic band 40 extending into the sub-instrument panel body 10 can be connected to the hook rib 105 by tying or hooking. Alternatively, the end of the expansion section 41 can be fixed to the inner wall of the sub-instrument panel body 10 by bonding, riveting, or screwing.

[0036] For some possible implementations, see Figures 3 to 6 The lower wall of the concave space 100 is provided with an air avoidance hole 101, the bottom of the storage box body 20 is provided with a first connecting ear 22, and the lower edge of the box cover 30 is provided with a second connecting ear 301. The second connecting ear 301 is hinged to the first connecting ear 22 and both extend downward into the air avoidance hole 101.

[0037] By setting a downwardly extending first connecting ear 22 and a second connecting ear 301 that are hinged to each other and then extend into the air avoidance hole 101, not only can the hinged part be avoided from being exposed and the appearance texture be improved, but also the storage space 200 can be fully released and the volume of the storage space 200 can be increased.

[0038] In order to improve the structural stability, Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a positioning hole 102 is provided in the middle of the lower wall of the inner recessed space 100, and a downwardly extending positioning rib 23 is provided at the bottom of the storage box body 20. The positioning rib 23 is inserted into the positioning hole 102, and first connecting ears 22 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the positioning rib 23. The insertion and cooperation between the positioning rib 23 and the positioning hole 102 can improve the installation position accuracy and stability of the storage box body 20 within the inner recessed space 100, thereby ensuring the flatness between the side walls of the rain and the auxiliary instrument panel body 10 when the box cover 30 is closed, and improving the appearance and texture. On this basis, the first connecting ear 22 and the second connecting ear 301 are hingedly provided on the front and rear sides of the positioning rib 23, thereby improving the opening and closing stability and connection strength of the box cover 30.

[0039] For some examples, see Figure 6 The locations where the front and rear walls of the concave space 100 meet the lower wall are all provided with limiting support ribs 104, and the storage box body 20 abuts against each limiting support rib 104. By providing the limiting support ribs 104, the embedded position of the storage box body 20 can be accurately limited, ensuring a uniform gap between the storage box body 20 and the concave space 100. This not only prevents the lid 30 from rubbing against the edge of the storage box body 20 during opening and closing, causing abnormal noise, but also ensures that the gap width between the boundary of the lid 30 and the boundary of the concave space 100 is consistent when the lid 30 is closed, thereby improving the appearance and texture.

[0040] As a specific structural form of the above-mentioned box cover 30, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The box cover 30 comprises a frame 31 and a cover plate 32. The frame 31 is hinged to the storage box body 20 and connected to an elastic band 40. The elastic band 40 pulls the frame 31 against the storage box body 20. The cover plate 32 is fixedly connected to the frame 31 and aligns with the edge of the side opening 201. The frame 31 improves the overall structural strength of the cover plate 32 and allows it to be hinged to the storage box body 20, thereby increasing the strength of the connection and preventing twisting deformation of the cover plate 32 during opening and closing, which could cause unusual noise.

[0041] Specifically, the connection structure between the cover plate 32 and the frame 31 in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 5As shown, the cover plate 32 is provided with multiple latches 321 spaced apart around its edges, and the frame 31 is provided with multiple latch holes 311 spaced apart. Each latch 321 passes through and engages with a corresponding latch hole 311. The engagement of multiple sets of latches 321 with the latch holes 311 not only facilitates assembly and disassembly of the cover plate 32 but also improves the uniformity of force applied to the connection between the cover plate 32 and the frame 31. Furthermore, welds or adhesive points can be added to the edges of the cover plate 32 and the frame 31 to further enhance the connection strength. This ensures the torsional rigidity and structural strength of the cover plate 32 and prevents abnormal noise when opening and closing the switch.

[0042] It should be noted that, see Figure 5 Buffer pins 322 are installed on the top posts 321 at the front and rear edges of the cover 32. The buffer pins 322 are used to elastically press the storage box body 20 when the box lid 30 is closed. With the help of the two top posts 321, the buffer pins 322 are installed and elastically abut the storage box body 20. On the one hand, this can prevent the box lid 30 from rigidly colliding with the storage box body 20 when it is closed. On the other hand, it can improve the stability of the box lid 30 in the closed state, avoid the problem of shaking and abnormal noise caused by the uneven gap between the box lid 30 and the storage box body 20, thereby improving the user experience.

[0043] Based on the same inventive concept, combined Figures 1 to 6 It is understood that an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned auxiliary instrument panel storage structure.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the vehicle provided in this embodiment adopts the above-mentioned sub-instrument panel storage structure, which not only allows the box cover 30 and the storage box body 20 to be disassembled and replaced separately, thereby reducing maintenance costs, but also reduces the additional unlocking action for taking and placing items, thereby improving operational convenience. In addition, even if there is slight wear between the box cover 30 and the storage box body 20, the elastic band 40 can be used to ensure that the box cover 30 is in a gapless closed state, thereby avoiding abnormal noise problems and improving the user experience.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
