[0032] The following describes a vehicle storage box according to an embodiment of the present application. Figures 1-4 The following describes a vehicle storage box according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0033] The vehicle storage box of the present embodiment comprises a box body, a box cover 3, a damper 4 and a locking member. The box body defines a storage cavity and an opening communicating with the storage cavity. The box cover 3 is pivotably connected to the box body by a pivot 5, and the box cover 3 has a first critical position for closing the opening. The damper 4 comprises a first damping part 41 and a second damping part 42, the first damping part 41 is pivotably connected to the second damping part 42 about an axis of the pivot 5, the first damping part 41 is connected to the box body, and the second damping part 42 is connected to the box cover 3. The locking member is arranged on the box body, and the box cover 3 is detachably connected to the locking member at the first critical position.
[0034] According to the vehicle storage box of the present embodiment, the box cover 3 is pivotably connected to the box body by the pivot 5 and the damper 4. When the box cover 3 rotates relative to the box body, the frictional force generated by the relative rotation of the first damping part 41 and the second damping part 42 in the damper 4 makes the opening of the box cover 3 slow and smooth. Thus, on the one hand, the practical experience is improved, and on the other hand, in the case of accidental opening of the box cover 3, the opening speed of the box cover 3 is effectively reduced to shorten the reaction time of the rider, thereby effectively reducing the probability of falling of the items in the storage cavity and improving the safety of the rider. At the same time, by arranging the box cover 3 to be connected to the locking member on the box body at the first critical position, the probability of accidental opening of the box cover 3 is further reduced, and the risk of falling of the items in the storage cavity is further reduced.
[0035] Optionally, the box cover 3 also has a second critical position for complete opening, and the box cover 3 is preferably connected to the locking member by a clamping connection, so as to reduce the difficulty of opening the box cover 3.
[0036] In some embodiments, the opening hole is inclined to the height direction of the box body, the lower end of the box cover 3 is pivotably connected to the box body, and the upper end of the box cover 3 is detachably connected to the locking member.
[0037] Therefore, after the connection between the box cover 3 and the locking member is released, the box cover 3 can be slowly opened under the action of its own gravity, the user experience is good, and the elastic member for automatically pressing the box cover 3 to the second critical position does not need to be arranged, so that the manufacturing cost of the vehicle storage box is effectively reduced.
[0038] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 the opening hole extends obliquely downward, and the upper end of the box cover 3 located at the first critical position is arranged to be suspended compared to the upper end, so that after the box cover 3 is unlocked from the locking member, the box cover 3 can be slowly moved to the second critical position under the action of gravity.
[0039] In some embodiments, the locking member includes a push-push structure 6, and the box cover 3 is provided with a buckle 321, which is clamped with the push-push structure 6.
[0040] At this time, the buckle 321 and the push-push structure 6 can be fixed by pressing the box cover 3. At the same time, the push-push structure 6 can pop out the buckle 321 by pressing the box cover 3 again, so as to give the box cover 3 a spring force to separate from the first critical position. The box cover 3 can be better slowly opened to the second critical position, the box cover 3 and the box body are convenient to disassemble, and the user experience is high.
[0041] Optionally, the push-push structure 6 is a self-popping clamping structure commonly used in the mechanical field, and its specific structure will not be described here. The push-push structure 6 is clamped on the box body.
[0042] In some embodiments, the box body includes a front windshield 1 and a shell 2, the front windshield 1 defines an opening hole, and the shell 2 is connected to the front windshield 1. The shell 2 and the front windshield 1 form a storage cavity.
[0043] That is, the storage cavity is formed on the inner side of the front windshield 1, and the front windshield 1 itself forms an opening hole communicating with the accommodation cavity. Compared with the storage structure located on the front side of the front windshield 1, the vehicle storage box of the embodiment provides more additional storage space for the vehicle, and the user satisfaction is higher.

In some embodiments, the box body further includes a mounting bracket 7, the mounting bracket 7 is connected to the front windshield 1, a pivot cavity is defined between the mounting bracket 7 and the front windshield 1, and the pivot 5, the first damping part 41 and the second damping part 42 are arranged in the pivot cavity.
[0046] The mounting frame 7 is connected with the front windshield 1 to pivotably mount the pivot shaft 5, the first damping part 41 and the second damping part 42 between the mounting frame 7 and the front windshield 1, and the box cover 3 can be detached by only detaching the mounting frame 7 from the front windshield 1, so that the box cover 3 is simple and convenient to detach.
[0047] Specifically, the mounting frame 7 is connected with the front windshield 1 by bolts, and the pivot cavity is composed of multiple coaxial cylindrical cavity segments with different diameters.
[0048] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional outer contour of the pivot cavity is circular, and the pivot cavity includes a first cavity segment 71 and a second cavity segment 72 arranged along the axial direction of the pivot shaft 5. The first damping part 41 and the second damping part 42 are coaxially arranged in the first cavity segment 71, the inner surface of the first cavity segment 71 is provided with a first limiting groove 75, the outer surface of the first damping part 41 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 411, and the first limiting protrusion 411 is fitted in the first limiting groove 75. The box cover 3 is provided with a first pivot part 322, which is pivotably arranged between the first cavity segment 71 and the second cavity segment 72. The first pivot part 322 and the second damping part 42 are respectively provided with a second limiting groove 3221 and a second limiting protrusion 421 on the two sides opposite to each other, and the second limiting protrusion 421 is fitted in the second limiting groove 3221. The pivot shaft 5 passes through the first damping part 41, the second damping part 42 and the first pivot part 322 and is partially pivotably fitted in the second cavity segment 72.
[0049] The cooperation between the first limiting protrusion 411 and the first limiting groove 75 ensures the relative fixation of the first damping part 41 and the front windshield 1 in the axial direction of the pivot shaft 5, and the cooperation between the second limiting protrusion 421 and the second limiting groove 3221 ensures the relative fixation of the second damping part 42 and the box cover 3 in the axial direction of the pivot shaft 5, thereby effectively ensuring the relative rotation of the first damping part 41 and the second damping part 42 when the box cover 3 rotates, and ensuring the slow and smooth rotation of the box cover 3.
[0050] Specifically, as shown in Figures 2-4 the first damping part 41, the second damping part 42 and the first pivot part 322 are all provided with through holes for clearance fitting of the pivot shaft 5, the second limiting groove 3221 has two and is a strip-shaped groove, and the two strip-shaped grooves are arranged along the radial direction of the first pivot part 322. Correspondingly, the second limiting protrusion 421 has two and is arranged along the radial direction of the second damping part 42.
[0051] In some embodiments, the pivot cavity further comprises a third cavity segment 73 and a fourth cavity segment 74 arranged axially along the pivot shaft 5, both of which are located on the side of the second cavity segment 72 away from the first cavity segment 71. The second pivot part 323 is provided on the box cover 3, and a first part of the second pivot part 323 is pivotably fitted in the third cavity segment 73 and the fourth cavity segment 74, and a second part is pivotably arranged between the third cavity segment 73 and the fourth cavity segment 74.
[0052] The second pivot part 323 is rotatably mounted between the mounting bracket 7 and the front windshield 1, and is arranged axially along the pivot shaft 5, so that the pivot stability of the box cover 3 relative to the front windshield is higher.
[0053] Specifically, as shown in Figures 2-4 , the part of the second pivot part 323 that is pivotably arranged in the third cavity segment 73 and the fourth cavity segment 74 is a cylindrical rod coaxial with the pivot shaft 5.
[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , the opening comprises a first hole segment and a second hole segment arranged in sequence from the inner surface to the outer surface of the front windshield 1, the cross-sectional area of the first hole segment is smaller than that of the second hole segment, and a stepped surface 11 surrounding the first hole segment is formed between the first hole segment and the second hole segment. The box cover 3 located at the first critical position is fitted in the second hole segment.
[0055] That is, when the box cover 3 is pivoted to the first critical position, the box cover 3 is hidden in the second hole segment, so that the outer surface of the box cover 3 is lower than or flush with the outer surface of the front windshield 1, effectively improving the appearance of the vehicle storage box. The arrangement of the stepped surface 11 further increases the contact area between the box cover 3 and the front windshield 1, and the connection between them is more sealed.

[0057] In some embodiments, the vehicle storage box further comprises a buffer 8 arranged on the stepped surface 11, and when the box cover 3 is located at the first critical position, the buffer 8 is clamped between the stepped surface 11 and the box cover 3.
[0058] That is, when the box cover 3 is pivoted to the first critical position, the buffer 8 separates the box cover 3 from the stepped surface 11, effectively preventing the box cover 3 from rigidly colliding with the front windshield 1 and producing loud noise, and the vehicle storage box has better use and detail experience.
[0059] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the buffer 8 includes two buffer foams, which are bonded on the stepped surface 11 and respectively located at the left and right sides of the push-push structure 6.
[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle storage box further includes a charging port 9, which is installed in the storage cavity.
[0061] Therefore, the rider can open the box cover 3 to complete the charging through the charging port 9, so that the vehicle is more functional.
