However, existing car tailgate storage boxes have some problems in practical use.

[0003] First, due to varying driving environments, storage compartments are susceptible to moisture and dust intrusion, especially in rainy or dusty conditions. This intrusion not only affects the safety of stored items but can also damage the compartment's structure or shorten its lifespan. Second, traditional storage compartments often lack effective sealing at the connection between the lid and the body, resulting in a large gap and insufficient sealing performance, failing to completely prevent water and dust from entering the storage space. Furthermore, existing sealing structures are mostly complex or cumbersome to install, hindering manufacturing and maintenance, thus increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a car tailgate storage box that is highly efficient in sealing, waterproof and dustproof, and has a simple structure.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] A waterproof and dustproof car tailgate storage box includes a box body, a lid, and a hinge. The inner cavity of the box body is a storage space. The surface of the box body has an open opening that connects to the storage space. One end of the hinge is connected to the box body, and the other end of the hinge is connected to the lid. The lid rotates around the hinge to open or close the storage space. The box body also includes a rubber strip, which is disposed on the lid and located around the corresponding storage space. When the lid rotates to close the storage space, the rubber strip seals the connection gap between the lid and the box body.

[0007] This design achieves effective sealing between the lid and the box body by installing adhesive strips on the lid and placing them around the perimeter of the corresponding storage space. When the lid is rotated to close the storage space, the adhesive strips fit tightly against the edge of the box body, forming a good seal and effectively preventing the entry of external moisture and dust.

[0008] This design ensures that the storage box is waterproof and dustproof under various weather conditions, especially in rainy or snowy weather or when the vehicle is driving in a dusty environment, it can better protect the items inside the storage box from external damage.

[0009] The objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures:

[0010] Furthermore, the lid has raised ribs around the corresponding storage space, and the adhesive strip has snap-fit ​​grooves. The raised ribs are inserted into the snap-fit ​​grooves, and the adhesive strip is snapped onto the lid.

[0011] By incorporating raised ribs around the storage space on the lid and designing snap-fit ​​grooves on the adhesive strip, the strip can be securely fastened to the lid, forming a tight seal. The raised ribs insert into the snap-fit ​​grooves of the adhesive strip, achieving a reliable mechanical locking effect and ensuring that the strip will not loosen during long-term use or vehicle vibration. This design enhances the sealing performance of the adhesive strip while avoiding the problem of traditional adhesive strips potentially detaching due to aging or environmental factors.

[0012] The snap-fit ​​installation method simplifies the assembly process of the rubber strips, improves production efficiency, and facilitates maintenance or replacement. The secure snap-fit ​​of the rubber strips and the precise fit of the ribs further enhance the waterproof and dustproof performance of the storage box, effectively preventing the entry of moisture, dust, or foreign objects in various harsh environments, thus protecting the items inside the storage space.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the snap-fit ​​groove is provided with an elastic rib for increasing the snap-fit ​​effect, and the protruding rib is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove, with the elastic rib tightly attached to the protruding rib.

[0014] By incorporating elastic ribs within the snap-fit ​​groove and extending them towards the center of the groove, the elastic ribs adhere tightly to the protruding ribs when inserted into the groove, further enhancing the tightness and stability of the snap-fit. This design effectively improves the locking effect of the rubber strip, ensuring that the rubber strip remains firmly connected during long-term use or vehicle vibration, preventing loosening or detachment.

[0015] The elastic ribs provide a certain degree of cushioning, accommodating minor dimensional adjustments caused by material expansion and contraction or changes in external pressure, further improving the stability of the sealing performance. Furthermore, the close contact between the elastic ribs and the raised ribs increases the durability of the sealing structure, extending the storage box's service life in various environments.

[0016] Furthermore, the adhesive strip includes a front adhesive strip and a rear adhesive strip, the front adhesive strip is a hollow adhesive strip, the rear adhesive strip has the snap-fit ​​groove, and the front adhesive strip and the rear adhesive strip are connected together by an integral molding method.

[0017] By designing the sealing strip as a combination of a front and rear sealing strip and connecting them in one piece, the sealing strip achieves superior sealing performance and installation stability. The front sealing strip is hollow, possessing good flexibility and elasticity, allowing it to adapt to minor unevenness on the contact surface when the lid and body are closed, providing a tighter seal. The rear sealing strip engages with the lid's ribs via a snap-fit ​​groove, ensuring the strip is firmly fixed to the lid and preventing it from falling off due to vibration or prolonged use.

[0018] The one-piece molding design not only simplifies the production process and reduces processing and assembly steps, but also improves the overall durability and anti-aging performance of the sealing strip. The combined structure of the front and rear sealing strips provides a secure fixation while adding multiple layers of sealing protection, further enhancing the storage box's waterproof and dustproof capabilities.

[0019] Furthermore, the hinge includes a first piece and a second piece, the first piece and the second piece are connected, the second piece restricts the rotation angle of the first piece to be less than 90°, the second piece is connected to the side of the box body, and the first piece is connected to the side of the box lid.

[0020] The hinge consists of a first piece and a second piece. The first piece is connected to the side of the lid, and the second piece is connected to the side of the box. The structural design between the two can effectively limit the rotation angle of the first piece to less than 90°, ensuring that the lid will not exceed the design range when opened, and preventing damage or misoperation due to excessive rotation.

[0021] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the box is provided with a locking hook, and the box cover is provided with a lock body corresponding to the locking hook position. When the box cover is rotated to close the storage space, the locking hook is inserted into the locking groove of the lock body.

[0022] By incorporating a locking hook within the internal cavity of the storage compartment and a corresponding lock body on the lid, a secure locking mechanism is achieved between the lid and the compartment. When the lid is rotated to close the storage space, the locking hook engages with the lock body's groove, creating a reliable closure. This design ensures the lid's stability when closed, preventing accidental opening due to bumps or vibrations during vehicle movement, thus effectively protecting the items inside the storage compartment.

[0023] Furthermore, the locking mechanism between the hook and the lock body is simple, reliable, and easy to operate, allowing users to quickly open and close the storage box, thus enhancing its convenience. At the same time, this concealed locking method avoids the aesthetic impact of traditional exposed locks, making the overall design of the storage box more attractive.

[0024] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the side of the lid away from the first piece to facilitate the user's rotation of the lid.

[0025] The lid has a handle on the side away from the hinge, which makes it easier for users to rotate the lid, improving the ease of operation and allowing users to open or close the lid more easily, thus optimizing the user experience of the storage box.

[0026] Furthermore, the handle is formed by providing a groove on the side of the lid away from the hinge.

[0027] The slotted handle design cleverly integrates the handle into the structure of the lid, so that it does not protrude from the lid surface. This avoids the visual impact of traditional exposed handles and enhances the overall design of the storage box and the harmony with the car interior.

[0028] This concealed handle design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also convenient for users. Users can easily grip the lid through the slot and rotate it to open or close it, with smooth operation and a comfortable feel.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] In this invention, the protruding rib is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove of the rubber strip, achieving a reliable mechanical locking effect and ensuring that the rubber strip will not loosen during long-term use or vehicle vibration. This design enhances the fixing performance of the rubber strip and avoids the problem of traditional adhesive rubber strips falling off due to aging or environmental influences. Moreover, the snap-fit ​​installation method simplifies the assembly process of the rubber strip, improves production efficiency, and facilitates maintenance or replacement of the rubber strip.

[0031] In this invention, the front rubber strip is a hollow strip with good flexibility and elasticity. When the lid and body of the box are closed, it can adapt to the slight unevenness of the contact surface and provide a tighter seal. The rear rubber strip is engaged with the rib of the lid through a snap-fit ​​groove, ensuring that the rubber strip is firmly fixed to the lid and avoiding the problem of falling off due to vibration or long-term use. When the lid is rotated to close the storage space, the rubber strip can fit tightly against the edge of the box to form a good seal, thereby effectively preventing the entry of external moisture and dust.
