[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a convenient car central tunnel structure, including a central tunnel frame body 1. A placement slot 2 is provided on the upper front of the central tunnel frame body 1. The placement slot 2 is convenient for placing and storing items such as mobile phones. Preferably, the placement slot 2 is a wireless charging area to facilitate charging mobile phones. A cup holder 3 is provided on the upper side of the central tunnel frame body 1 near the placement slot 2. The cup holder 3 is used to store items such as teacups and water bottles. The cup holder 3 can also be used for storing and placing items. A sliding groove is provided on the upper side of the central tunnel frame body 1 that communicates with the cup holder 3. A protective component is slidably arranged in the sliding groove to protect the cup holder 3. The protective component blocks and seals the cup holder 3, which facilitates the protection and storage of items in the cup holder 3.
[0019] The protective component includes a movable plate 4 that slides within a groove. A curtain 5 is installed on one side of the movable plate 4. The curtain 5 is moved by the movable plate 4 to cover and seal the cup holder 3, facilitating the use of the protective component. Small items, such as keys and cards, can be stored in the cup holder 3 when the protective component is in use. A storage slot for storing the curtain 5 is provided on the side of the main body 1 of the central channel structure. When the curtain 5 is slid open to open the cup holder 3, the curtain 5 moves into the storage slot for storage. After opening the cup holder 3, larger items such as water cups can be placed in the cup holder 3. The cup holder 3 limits and restrains the items, preventing the water cup from moving and spilling during driving.
[0020] A support assembly is provided inside the cup holder 3. The support assembly is used to support and position items inside the cup holder 3. The support assembly includes a mounting plate 10 disposed inside the cup holder 3, and a support plate 11 is disposed above the mounting plate 10. It should be noted that both the mounting plate 10 and the support plate 11 are adapted to the cup holder 3. An elastic element 12 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 10 to support and position the support plate 11. The elastic element 12 is preferably a spring. When small items are placed in the cup holder 3 or when no items are placed in the cup holder 3, the elastic element 12 uses its own elastic support to place the mounting plate 10 in the upper part of the inner cavity of the cup holder 3, which facilitates the removal and placement of small items in the cup holder 3 or the cleaning of dust, debris and other foreign objects in the cup holder 3. A limit frame 13 is installed on the upper edge of the support plate 11. The limit frame 13 increases the contact area between the support plate 11 and the cup holder 3 to ensure the stability of the support assembly during use.
[0021] The main body 1 of the central passage structure has a storage slot on the upper rear side. The storage slot is used as a storage space. The main body 1 of the central passage structure has a sealing cover 6 on the side to cover and seal the storage slot. A storage component is installed on the lower side of the sealing cover 6 and is slidably installed in the storage slot. The storage component is designed to facilitate the storage of items in the storage slot in different sections, and is used for the storage and retrieval of different types of items, which facilitates the use of the storage space in this central passage structure. By sliding the storage component out of the storage slot, it is convenient to store and retrieve items in the storage component.
[0022] The storage component includes a shelf 8 installed on the lower side of the sealing cover 6. Several storage boxes 9 are slidably arranged inside the shelf 8. The storage boxes 9 are arranged adjacent to each other vertically, and the top of the storage boxes 9 is open. The shelf 8 is provided with a partition for positioning and supporting the storage boxes 9. The several storage boxes 9 facilitate the storage and organization of different types of items. The storage boxes 9 also have a certain degree of privacy, and more private items can be placed in the storage box 9 at the bottom.
[0023] An electric telescopic rod 14 is installed in the storage slot, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 14 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the sealing cover 6. A switch 15 is provided on the side of the main body 1 of the central channel structure to control the operation of the electric telescopic rod 14. The electric telescopic rod 14 is controlled by the switch 15 to push the sealing cover 6 upward and move the storage component out of the storage slot, which facilitates the use of the storage component. The electric telescopic rod 14 includes, but is not limited to, a servo electric rod or an electric push rod. A groove 7 is provided on the upper side of the sealing cover 6, which facilitates the storage of items.
[0024] The central passage structure 1 has a storage slot 18 at the lower front side, which is convenient for placing and using cleaning items such as tissues and wet wipes. The central passage structure 1 has a spare slot 16 at the upper rear side, which can be used as a rear air conditioning vent, a rear speaker playback port, a rear charging port, etc. The central passage structure 1 also has a rear storage slot 17 at the lower rear side, which is convenient for placing and storing items for rear passengers.
