Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior accessories technology, and in particular to a novel glove box claw structure. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of automotive interior parts, the glove box not only affects the car's appearance and aesthetics but also the comfort and driving experience of passengers. To ensure that the glove box can open and close smoothly without easily getting stuck or loose, existing glove boxes are generally mounted on the center console of the car's interior using a hinge. In addition, the hinged installation of the glove box generally uses a pivot as the hinge component.

[0003] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 The existing glove box 1 has two hooks 11 at its bottom, and each hook 11 has a hinge hole 12 at its bottom, which is a partially open structure. This type of glove box 1 is generally manufactured using injection molding. To form the hinge hole 12 during injection molding, the mold typically has a movable insert 13. This insert 13, after injection molding, needs to work with a core-pulling mechanism on the mold to open from the side of the glove box 1. Figure 1 (Arrow direction) Slide out of the hinge hole 12. However, in order to drive the insert 13 to complete the core pulling process, the mold generally needs an external drive source to drive the movement of the insert 13 or a corresponding inclined slide mechanism inside the mold. This will result in a complex internal structure of the mold. The hook 11 is easily damaged due to the core pulling of the insert 13. In addition, the core pulling action of the insert 13 also has the risk of mold collision, which leads to frequent mold maintenance and production stoppage, resulting in low productivity. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a novel glove box claw structure. This claw structure, by improving the design of the claw itself, can eliminate the original side core pulling mechanism of the mold and solve the problem of low production efficiency in the past.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a novel glove box claw structure, including a glove box body. The glove box body includes a panel and an inner compartment formed on the back of the panel. At least one claw is formed between the bottom surface of the inner compartment and the back of the panel. A groove is formed in the middle of the bottom surface of the claw so that the end of the claw forms a hook. A through hole is formed at the bottom of the groove. A forming groove communicating with the through hole is formed on the front surface of the panel.

[0006] The device has at least four claws, which are arranged in pairs along the length of the inner hopper.

[0007] The outer side of the claw is provided with a reinforcing rib between the outer side of the claw and the bottom surface of the inner hopper. One end of the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the claw, and the other end of the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner hopper.

[0008] The outer side of the hook of the chuck has a groove.

[0009] The inner side of the claw has a retaining portion that extends toward the panel.

[0010] The end face of the holding part facing the panel is a guide slope that is inclined upwards.

[0011] The end face of the retaining part facing the through hole is an arc surface.

[0012] The end face of the retaining part away from the through hole is a rounded corner.

[0013] The length of the holding part is smaller than the length of the claw, and the holding part is centrally located at the hook of the holding part.

[0014] The claw has a hollowed-out structure in the middle.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) By opening a molding groove on the front of the panel, since the molding groove and the groove of the claw are connected through the through hole, during the injection molding process of the glove box body, a molding insert for molding claw can be set in the lower mold of the molding mold. With the upper and lower mold opening and closing process of the molding mold, the molding insert can be removed from the molding groove of the panel during the demolding process, realizing core pulling in the mold opening and closing direction, replacing the previous scheme that required setting a side core pulling mechanism, and solving the problems of complex mold and low production efficiency in the past.

[0017] (2) The overall structure is simple and compact. While ensuring that the claw has sufficient structural strength, it reduces the material required for forming the claw, saves production costs, and reduces the total amount of the glove box body, thus having good economic benefits.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, mechanism, product, or end that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or ends.

[0026] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0027] This utility model discloses a specific embodiment of a novel glove box claw structure. Please see [link / reference]. Figure 2The claw structure includes a glove box body 2, which includes a panel 21 and an inner hopper 22 formed on the back of the panel 21. Multiple claws 3 are formed between the bottom surface of the inner hopper 22 and the back of the panel 21. The number of claws 3 can be selectively set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, four claws 3 are provided, arranged in pairs along the length of the inner hopper 22. The two claws 3 in each pair are also arranged side-by-side, which effectively improves the smoothness of glove box body 2 installation and operational stability.

[0028] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom surface of the claw 3 has a groove 31 in the middle, so that the end of the claw 3 forms a hook. The bottom of the groove 31 has a through hole 32. The front of the panel 21 has a forming groove 23 that communicates with the through hole 32. The forming groove 23 makes the claw 3 have a hollow structure in the middle. While ensuring that the claw 3 has sufficient structural strength, it saves the consumables for manufacturing the claw 3 and saves production costs. In addition, the through hole 32 at the bottom of the groove 31 is rectangular, which allows the molding insert 4 of the mold to be easily demolded. In other embodiments, the through hole 32 can be polygonal, circular or other shapes.

[0029] To improve the structural strength of the claw 3 and extend the service life of the glove box body 2, combined with Figure 4 A reinforcing rib 33 is provided between the outer side of the claw 3 and the bottom surface of the inner hopper 22. One end of the reinforcing rib 33 is fixedly connected to the claw 3, and the other end of the reinforcing rib 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner hopper 22. The number of reinforcing ribs 33 can be selectively set according to needs, such as two, three, or four. In addition, a groove 34 is formed on the outer side of the hook of the claw 3. The function of the groove 34 is to provide a certain deformation space for the deformation of the hook, thus also playing a role in strengthening the structural strength of the claw. The groove 34 formed on the outer side of the hook of the claw 3 can further improve the structural strength of the hook. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 34 can be rectangular, semi-circular, or other shapes, which can be set according to needs.

[0030] To improve the ease of assembly of the glove box body 2, the inner side of the claw 3 has a retaining portion 35 extending towards the panel 21. Optionally, the end face of the retaining portion 35 facing the panel 21 is an upwardly inclined guide slope 351. The guide slope 351 allows the opening of the groove 31 to form a locking channel with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area, facilitating the insertion of external hinge components (rotating shafts, guide posts, etc.) into the groove 31. It should be noted that since the outer side of the hook has a groove 34, the groove 34 can provide a certain deformation space for the deformation of the hook, facilitating the small-range deformation of the retaining portion 35, so that the external hinge component can smoothly engage in the groove 31 without damaging the retaining portion 35. In this embodiment, the end face of the retaining portion 35 facing the through hole 32 is an arc surface 352. The arc surface 352 can cooperate with the groove 31 to form an approximately circular hinge hole, facilitating the rotational engagement of the claw 3 with the external hinge component. In addition, the end face of the holding part 35 away from the through hole 32 is a rounded corner surface 353. The rounded corner surface 353 can prevent the claw 3 from damaging the surface of the external hinge during the assembly process. Moreover, the rounded corner surface 353 can also play a guiding role, making it easier for the external hinge to slide into the groove 31.

[0031] In this embodiment, the length of the holding part 35 is smaller than the length of the hook part of the claw 3, and the holding part 35 is centrally located on the hook part. This design further facilitates the deformation of the hook part of the claw 3, ensuring that the claw 3 has sufficient structural strength.

[0032] This embodiment presents a novel glove box claw structure, combined with... Figure 5 By creating a molding groove 23 on the front of the panel 21, and since the molding groove 23 and the groove 31 of the claw 3 are connected through a through hole 32, during the injection molding process of the glove box body 2, a molding insert 4 for molding the claw 3 can be set in the lower mold of the molding mold. The molding insert 4 can be fixed on the lower mold without the need for a core-pulling structure. In conjunction with the opening and closing process of the molding mold, the molding insert 4 can be removed from the molding groove 23 of the panel 21 during demolding. Figure 5 The direction of the center arrow enables core pulling in the mold opening and closing direction, replacing the previous solution that required a side core pulling mechanism, thus solving the problems of complex molds and low production efficiency.

[0033] The overall structure is simple and compact. While ensuring that the claw 3 has sufficient structural strength, it reduces the material required to form the claw 3, saves production costs, and reduces the total amount of the glove box body 2, resulting in good economic benefits.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the novel glove box claw structure disclosed in this utility model embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model.
