[0035] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0036] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0037] The vehicle interior is not provided with a support for supporting the mobile terminal, and the user frequently uses the mobile terminal navigation function, so the application of the mobile terminal support is becoming more and more common. The mobile terminal support is mainly fixed on the automobile instrument desk through a suction cup or a jaw, and the mobile terminal support not only easily falls off but also occupies a large space, thereby affecting the user's riding experience.

[0038] In view of this, as shown in the Figures 1 to 6 application embodiment, a storage box is provided, which comprises a box body 1, a cover plate 2, a support structure 3 and a limiting assembly. The box body 1 comprises a placing cavity, and the top of the placing cavity is provided with an open mouth. The cover plate 2 is connected with the box body 1 and can cover the box body 1, so as to avoid dust and other sundries from falling into the box body 1. At least part of the cover plate 2 is hinged with the box body 1 and can rotate relative to the box body 1, as shown in the Figure 3 , so as to expose the open mouth for the user to take and place articles and close the open mouth.

[0039] The limiting assembly is arranged between the cover plate 2 and the box body 1, and when the cover plate 2 rotates to a target position relative to the box body, as shown in the Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the cover plate 2 is kept at the target position by the limiting assembly. The side surface of the cover plate 2 facing the box body 1 is provided with the support structure 3, and the support structure 3 is used for supporting the mobile terminal 5. The target position can be understood as: the appropriate angle position of the cover plate 2 relative to the box body 1 when the mobile terminal 5 installed on the support structure 3 meets the user's visual angle requirement.

[0040] The storage box provided by the embodiments of the present application is provided with a support structure 3 on the side surface of the cover plate 2 facing the box body 1. When the cover plate 2 is covered on the box body 1, the box body 1 is shielded from dust. When the cover plate 2 is rotated relative to the box body 1 to expose the opening, the user can take and place the cup holder and other articles. When the cover plate 2 is rotated relative to the box body 1 and kept in the target position by the limiting assembly, the mobile terminal 5 can be placed on the support structure 3, and the mobile terminal 5 support is no longer needed, thereby avoiding the installation of the mobile terminal 5 support on the instrument desk and saving the space for installing the mobile terminal 5 support.

[0041] The storage box can be a cup holder. The mobile terminal can be a mobile phone or a tablet computer or other electronic equipment.

[0042] In some embodiments, the cover plate 2 comprises a first plate 21 and a second plate 22 connected together. The first plate 21 and the second plate 22 are both slidably connected to the box body and can slide along the length direction of the box body 1, and the sliding distance is 60-70 mm. The first plate 21 and the second plate 22 are located in the same plane and abut against each other. A traction structure (not shown in the figure) is arranged between the first plate 21 and the second plate 22. One of the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 is pushed and pulled by the traction structure, and can rotate relative to the other. When any one of the first plate 21 or the second plate 22 slides to expose the opening under the action of the pushing force or the pulling force, the other also slides under the action of the pushing force or the pulling force of the any one. At least one of the first plate 21 or the second plate 22 is hinged to the box body 1, for example, the second plate 22 is hinged to the box body 1, as shown in the figure. When the second plate 22 slides along the box body 1 under the action of the external force, the first plate 21 also slides in the same direction under the action of the force of the second plate 22. The first plate 21 and the second plate 22 slide simultaneously to expose the opening. The second plate 22 rotates relative to the box body 1 to the target position. The second plate 22 is kept in the target position by the limiting assembly. The mobile terminal 5 is placed on the support structure 3 on the second plate 22. At this time, the cover plate 2 is used as the support of the mobile terminal 5. Figure 2

[0043] The traction structure can be a ring body, which passes through the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 to connect the two plates. The traction structure can also comprise a connecting plate, which is provided with two openings. A first connecting column is formed on the side wall of the first plate 21, and a second connecting column is formed on the side wall of the second plate 22. The first connecting column is in clearance fit with one of the openings, and the second connecting column is in clearance fit with the other opening. The free ends of the first connecting column and the second connecting column are both formed into knobs to avoid the first connecting column and the second connecting column from being separated from the openings on the connecting plate.

[0044] ​Because the opening of the storage box must meet the user's use requirements, in the case of the area of the cover plate 2 being constant, that is, the area of the opening being standard, compared with the cover plate 2 being unable to slide and being directly rotated to the target position relative to the box body 1, the cover plate 2 being able to slide and part of the cover plate 2 (the second plate 22) being rotated to the target position relative to the box body 1 requires a larger movement space when all the cover plate 2 is rotated, and the movement space required for the part of the cover plate 2 (the second plate 22) being rotated relative to the box body 1 is smaller, and the space occupied is also less.

[0045] In some embodiments, the box body 1 is provided with a sliding groove 4, the first plate 21 is provided with a first sliding block, and the second plate 22 is provided with a second sliding block 6. The first sliding block and the second sliding block 6 are slidably matched with the sliding groove 4. The sliding matching is low in implementation cost and long in service life. In specific implementation, parallel sliding grooves 4 are arranged at the edges of the opening of the box body 1, at least one first sliding block is arranged at each side of the first plate 21, and at least one second sliding block 6 is arranged at each side of the second plate 22.

[0046] As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , the opening of the sliding groove 4 faces the side of the box body 1, the first sliding block is located on the side wall of the first plate 21 facing the box body 1, and an outlet 41 is formed on the side wall of the sliding groove 4 facing the cover plate 2. The second plate 22 has a first end and a second end close to the first plate 21, the second end is hinged to the box body 1, the first end is provided with the second sliding block 6, and the second sliding block 6 can be taken out of the outlet 41 to enable the second plate 22 to be rotated to the target position relative to the box body 1. The position of the outlet 41 on the sliding groove 4 determines that the second sliding block 6 can only be taken out of the outlet 41 at this position to realize the rotation of the second plate 22, and cannot be rotated to open the opening at other positions, thereby avoiding the cover plate 2 being opened due to vibration and the like during vehicle driving.

[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the limiting assembly includes a third sliding block 7 and an arc-shaped groove 42 arranged on the side wall of the sliding groove 4. The third sliding block 7 is arranged at the hinged position of the second end and the box body 1. The third sliding block 7 has a polygonal structure. When the second plate 22 is rotated to the target position relative to the box body 1, the corners of the third sliding block 7 are clamped in the arc-shaped groove 42, so that the second plate 22 is constrained by the limiting structure and cannot be rotated relative to the box body 1 when not subjected to external force. During the rotation of the second plate 22, the second plate 22 can be kept at the turning angle position relative to the box body 1 at multiple positions. When each corner of the polygonal third sliding block 7 is clamped in the arc-shaped groove 42, the third sliding block 7 will be clamped at the next corner after being rotated by external force, so as to be suitable for the adjustment of the target position of the second plate 22 by users of different vehicle models or different habits. Further, the opposite two side walls of the sliding groove 4 are each provided with an arc-shaped groove 42, so as to facilitate the rotation of the third sliding block 7 in the sliding groove 4 when subjected to external force.

[0048] In specific implementation, the third sliding block 7 is rectangular, as shown inFigure 5 As shown, when the second plate 22 is parallel to the box body 1, the two side faces of the third sliding block 7 are in contact with the two side walls of the sliding groove 4 and can slide relative to the two side walls, without affecting the sliding of the third sliding block 7 in the sliding groove 4 to realize the sliding of the cover plate 2 relative to the box body 1 to expose or cover the opening. When the second plate 22 is rotated to the target position relative to the box body 1, as shown, Figure 6 As shown, the two diagonal corners of the third sliding block 7 are clamped in the arc-shaped groove 42, and when the second plate 22 is not subjected to an external force, the second plate 22 cannot be rotated relative to the box body 1, so as to be kept in this posture. When the mobile terminal 5 is placed on the support structure 3, the mobile terminal 5 is kept in a posture inclined to the horizontal plane of the box body 1, which is convenient for a user to watch the mobile terminal 5.

[0049] Further, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the corners of the third sliding block 7 have rounded corners, so as to facilitate the rotation of the second plate 22 relative to the box body 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, the limiting assembly includes a support leg (not shown in the figure), and the support leg is embedded in the cover plate 2 and is hinged to the cover plate 2. The free end of the support leg is used to abut on the upper surface of the box body 1 to support the cover plate 2. When at least part of the cover plate 2 is rotated to the target position relative to the box body 1, the support leg abuts between the cover plate 2 and the box body 1 to support the cover plate 2 to be kept in the target position. Of course, the upper surface of the box body 1 can also be hinged with a support leg, which is embedded in the upper surface of the box body 1. The free end of the support leg is used to abut on the cover plate 2 to support the cover plate 2. Further, the length of the support leg can be adjusted, for example, the support leg can be a telescopic rod structure, so as to be suitable for different target positions of the cover plate 2 and the box body 1 at different angles, thereby being suitable for the adjustment of the target position of the second plate 22 by different vehicle models or different habits of users.

[0051] In some embodiments, the support structure 3 includes a bent plate 31 connected to the cover plate 2, and a support groove is formed between the bent plate 31 and the cover plate 2. The support groove is used to support the bottom end of the clamped mobile terminal 5, which is simple in structure, low in cost and good in use.

[0052] In some embodiments, the surface of the cover plate 2 away from the box body 1 is provided with a handle 8. A user applies an external force to the cover plate 2 through the handle 8 to rotate or slide the cover plate 2.

[0053] Another embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, which includes the storage box described above.

[0054] It has to be noted that, in the present document, relational terms are intended only to convey a possible relationship between elements or
