Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automotive plastic parts, and in particular relates to glove box assembly. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the design and utilization of automotive interior space are receiving increasing attention, especially the design of the glove box. As an important storage space inside the car, the glove box's space utilization, ease of use, and user experience are key factors that designers need to consider.
[0003] Traditional car glove box designs often suffer from inefficient space utilization because the internal space is typically fixed and cannot be flexibly divided according to the user's actual needs. Furthermore, in low-light conditions, users often have difficulty clearly seeing the contents of the glove box, thus affecting its ease of use. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a glove box assembly that allows for flexible adjustment of the internal space, provides lighting inside the box, and facilitates retrieval of items.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: a glove box assembly, including a glove box and a cover plate disposed on one side of the glove box, with limiting strips of the same length as the glove box on both inner walls of the glove box, and multiple movable partitions adapted to the limiting strips inside the glove box, with a magnetic plate embedded in the outer wall of the glove box away from the cover plate, and an adsorption strip adsorbing the magnetic plate on the side of the movable partition facing the magnetic plate.
[0006] The above technical solution, through the setting of movable partitions and limiting strips, allows the internal space of the glove box to be flexibly divided as needed, improving space utilization; by setting an adsorption strip on one side of the movable partition and embedding a magnetic plate in the outer wall of the glove box, the movable partition can be stably adsorbed inside the glove box, preventing it from shifting due to vibration during driving. At the same time, it also makes it convenient for users to adjust the position of the movable partition at any time as needed.
[0007] Optionally, the glove box compartment has an arc surface on the side near the cover plate, the length of the cover plate is greater than the length of the glove box compartment, and the cover plate is provided with elastic retaining plates on the side facing the glove box compartment and on both sides of the glove box compartment.
[0008] Elastic retaining plates are installed on both sides of the glove box compartment to ensure that the cover is more securely fixed to the glove box compartment, preventing it from falling off due to vibration during driving, and also preventing users from touching the elastic retaining plates when taking things out of the glove box compartment.
[0009] Optionally, the movable partition has the same shape as the side of the glove box compartment, and each of the three sides of the movable partition contacts one of the three inner side walls of the glove box compartment. The movable partition can be placed more stably inside the glove box compartment, preventing it from shifting or making abnormal noises due to vibration during driving. At the same time, it also improves the utilization rate and tidiness of the internal space of the glove box compartment.
[0010] Optionally, the limiting strip includes a first limiting strip disposed on the inner wall of one side of the glove box compartment and a second limiting strip disposed on the inner wall of the other side of the glove box compartment. The two limiting strips limit the movable partition from both sides, making the movable partition stand very stably inside the glove box.
[0011] Optionally, both the first and second limiting strips have trapezoidal vertical cross-sections, and the movable partition has grooves on both sides that are adapted to the first and second limiting strips. Using trapezoidal limiting strips can prevent debris from the limiting strips from causing the movable partition to jam, allowing the movable partition to slide more smoothly along the limiting strips.
[0012] Optionally, the bottom of the glove box is provided with a bushing seat for installation with the mounting point of the built-in groove of the automotive glove box, and also provides a support point for the glove box.
[0013] Optionally, the cover plate has a latch on the side away from the glove box compartment for the user to open the glove box compartment.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By setting the movable partition and the limiting strip, the internal space of the glove box can be flexibly divided according to needs, improving the space utilization rate; 2. By setting an adsorption strip on one side of the movable partition and embedding a magnetic plate in the outer wall of the glove box, the movable partition can be stably adsorbed inside the glove box, preventing it from shifting due to vibration during driving. At the same time, it also makes it convenient for users to adjust the position of the movable partition at any time as needed; 3. The use of a trapezoidal limiting strip can avoid debris on the limiting strip, which could cause the movable partition to get stuck, allowing the movable partition to slide more smoothly along the limiting strip.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Example
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, the glove box assembly of this application mainly includes a glove box 1, a cover plate 2, a movable partition 4, a limiting slide bar 3 (including a first limiting bar 31 and a second limiting bar 32), a magnetic plate 6, an adsorption bar 5, an elastic retaining plate 8, a bushing seat 7, and a buckle plate 9. Through the cooperation of these components, the glove box assembly achieves multifunctionality and practicality.
[0023] The glove box 1, as the main part of the entire assembly, features an arc-shaped upper section, a design that fully considers space utilization and aesthetics. Both inner walls of the glove box 1 are equipped with limiting strips of the same length as the glove box 1, providing stable sliding tracks for the movable partition 4. Users can flexibly adjust the position of the movable partition 4 according to actual needs, thereby changing the internal spatial layout of the glove box 1. This design not only improves space utilization but also makes the interior of the glove box 1 more organized and tidy.
[0024] The movable partition 4 has the same shape as the side of the glove box 1, but is slightly smaller in height to ensure it can be stably placed inside the glove box 1. Three sides of the movable partition 4 contact the three inner walls of the glove box 1, further enhancing its stability. Simultaneously, grooves 41 adapted to the limiting strips are provided on both sides of the movable partition 4, allowing it to slide smoothly along the limiting strips. This sliding mechanism not only facilitates user adjustment of the movable partition 4's position but also prevents friction and noise between the movable partition 4 and the limiting strips during sliding.
[0025] The limiting slide bar 3 consists of a first limiting bar 31 and a second limiting bar 32, which are respectively installed on the inner walls of both sides of the glove box hopper 1. These two limiting bars limit the movable partition 4 from both sides, allowing the movable partition 4 to stand stably inside the glove box. To optimize the sliding experience and avoid jamming, the vertical cross-sections of both the first limiting bar 31 and the second limiting bar 32 are designed as trapezoids. This design not only increases the contact area between the limiting bar and the movable partition 4 but also reduces the friction during sliding. At the same time, the sliding grooves 41 on both sides of the movable partition 4 are adapted to the trapezoidal cross-sections of the limiting bars, further ensuring that the movable partition 4 can slide smoothly along the limiting bars.
[0026] The cover plate 2 is longer than the glove box compartment 1, allowing it to more fully cover the opening of the glove box compartment 1. Elastic retaining plates 8 are located on both sides of the glove box compartment 1 and on the side of the cover plate 2 facing the glove box compartment 1. These retaining plates 8 are made of elastic material and possess a certain degree of elasticity and resilience. When the cover plate 2 is placed on the glove box compartment 1, the elastic retaining plates 8 press firmly against the side walls of the glove box compartment 1, generating a certain compressive force, thus ensuring that the cover plate 2 is more securely fixed to the glove box compartment 1. This design effectively prevents the cover plate 2 from falling off due to vibration during operation.
[0027] Meanwhile, the design of the flexible tray 8 also prevents users from touching it when taking items from the glove box compartment 1. This is because the flexible tray 8 is cleverly positioned between the side walls of the glove box compartment 1 and the cover 2, so users will not directly contact it when taking items. This design not only improves ease of use but also protects user safety.
[0028] To further enhance the stability of the movable partition 4, this application provides an adsorption strip 5 on the side of the movable partition 4 facing the magnetic plate 6, which is attracted to the magnetic plate 6. The magnetic plate 6 is embedded in the outer wall of the glove box 1 on the side away from the cover plate 2. When the movable partition 4 moves to the appropriate position, the adsorption strip 5 is attracted by the magnetic plate 6 and firmly adsorbed inside the glove box 1. This design effectively prevents the movable partition 4 from shifting during driving, improving the stability and safety of the glove box 1 assembly.
[0029] The glove box has a bushing seat 7 at its bottom, which is used for mounting to the internal slot of the automotive glove box. The design of the bushing seat 7 not only provides a stable support point for the glove box, but also facilitates the installation and removal of the glove box. Users only need to align the bushing seat 7 with the mounting point of the internal slot of the automotive glove box and fix it in place. This installation method is not only simple and quick, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the glove box assembly 1.
[0030] A latch 9 is located on the side of the cover 2 away from the glove box 1, serving as the main operating component for the user to open the glove box 1. The latch 9 has a simple and straightforward design; the user can easily pull out the glove box 1 by simply gripping the latch 9 and pulling outwards. This design not only facilitates user operation but also improves the ease of use of the glove box 1 assembly. In actual production, the latch 9 can be installed in an exposed design on the outside of the cover 2, or a pre-drilled groove can be made on the cover 2 above the movable partition, allowing the latch 9 to be concealed within the groove. The concealed design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also prevents the latch 9 from being accidentally touched during operation.
[0031] Example 2: Based on Example 1, this example has been optimized and improved in some details, as follows:
[0032] In Embodiment 1, the elastic clamping plate 8 is directly disposed on the side of the cover plate 2 facing the glove box hopper 1. In this embodiment, to further improve the stability and durability of the elastic clamping plate 8, a reinforcing rib is added between the elastic clamping plate 8 and the cover plate 2. The reinforcing rib not only enhances the structural strength of the elastic clamping plate 8 but also makes it more firmly fixed to the cover plate 2.
[0033] In Embodiment 1, the adsorption strip 5 is directly disposed on the side of the movable partition 4 facing the magnet plate 6. In this embodiment, to further enhance the adsorption force between the adsorption strip 5 and the magnet plate 6, a micro-protrusion structure is added to the surface of the adsorption strip 5. These micro-protrusion structures increase the contact area and friction between the adsorption strip 5 and the magnet plate 6, thereby improving the adsorption force. Simultaneously, the design of the micro-protrusion structure also prevents the adsorption strip 5 from reducing its adsorption effect due to wear after prolonged use.
[0034] In Embodiment 1, the limiting slide bar 3 consists of a first limiting bar 31 and a second limiting bar 32, both of which have trapezoidal vertical cross-sections. In this embodiment, to further improve the stability and durability of the limiting slide bar 3, a wear-resistant layer is added to the surfaces of the first limiting bar 31 and the second limiting bar 32. The wear-resistant layer reduces friction and wear between the movable partition 4 and the limiting slide bar 3 during sliding, thereby extending its service life.
[0035] In Embodiment 1, the buckle plate 9 can be either exposed on the outside of the cover plate 2 or concealed. In this embodiment, we prefer the concealed design. This is because the concealed design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also prevents the buckle plate 9 from being accidentally touched during driving. To achieve the concealed design, we created a pre-reserved groove on the cover plate 2 above the movable partition and placed the buckle plate 9 within the groove. Furthermore, we optimized the shape and size of the buckle plate 9 to ensure it fits snugly within the groove and provides a good tactile feel.
[0036] Working principle: When using the glove box, the user first pulls out the glove box compartment 1 using the snap-on plate 9. Then, the user slides the movable partition 4 left or right to adjust the spatial layout inside the glove box compartment 1 according to actual needs. After the movable partition 4 is positioned, the magnetic strip 5 will be attracted by the magnetic plate 6 and firmly adhered inside the glove box compartment 1. In this way, the user can classify and place items of different sizes in the glove box compartment 1 according to their needs.
[0037] In summary, the glove box assembly 1 of this application effectively solves the problems existing in traditional glove box designs through its flexible space division, stable partition fixing, and convenient opening method. Furthermore, through the detailed description and comparative analysis of Embodiments 1 and 2, we can see that the optimizations and improvements in the details of this application further enhance the stability and durability of the glove box assembly 1. Therefore, this application has broad market application prospects and significant socio-economic benefits.
