[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a magnetic glove box includes a box body 1, a storage slot 2 inside the box body 1, a locking mechanism 3 on the inner wall of the box body 1, a hand lock mechanism connected to one side of the locking mechanism 3 through the box body 1, and a switch button 7 on the front of the box body 1.
[0025] In this embodiment, by setting the locking mechanism 3, when the car is powered on normally, the box 1 can be opened by pressing the switch button 7 normally. When the car is not powered on, the box 1 can be opened temporarily by using the hand lock mechanism, which solves the problem that the existing glove box cannot be opened when the vehicle is powered off or the circuit is faulty.
[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking mechanism 3 includes a fixed housing 301, a spring 306, and a pair of electromagnets 302. The top of the fixed housing 301 has a limiting groove 305. The middle part of the spring 306 is connected to the fixed housing 301, and both ends of the spring 306 are connected to the electromagnets 302 respectively. The end of the electromagnet 302 away from the spring 306 is connected to a locking tongue 303. The top of the locking tongue 303 is provided with a limiting slider 304 that is slidably connected to the limiting groove 305. The electromagnets 302 are connected to the car power supply and the switch button 7 through wires. When energized, the two electromagnets 302 attract each other, causing the locking tongues 303 on both sides to retract and unlock the glove box. When not energized, the electromagnets 302 lose their attraction, and the spring 306 resets, causing the locking tongues 303 to pop out and lock.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the handlock mechanism includes a connecting slider 307, one end of which is connected to the latch 303, and the other end of which, away from the latch 303, passes through the housing 1 and is connected to a button 309. The connecting slider 307 is slidably connected to the housing 1, and an inner slide bar 308 is fixedly connected to the connecting slider 307. The inner slide bar 308 slides within the housing 1. When the vehicle is not powered on, the button 309 can be manually pushed to retract the latch 303 and unlock the door. The inner slide bar 308 acts as a shield for the slide groove, solving the problem of not being able to open the glove box when the vehicle is powered off.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the back of the box 1 is provided with a slow-release mechanism 4 on both sides. The slow-release mechanism 4 can make the box 1 pop out slowly when unlocking to avoid damage.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the slow-release mechanism 4 includes a fixed plate 401 fixedly connected to the box body 1. A push rod 402 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed plate 401. A piston block 403 is fixedly connected to the end of the push rod 402 away from the fixed plate 401. The push rod 402 is slidably connected to the air chamber 404. A rubber block 405 is provided inside the air chamber 404. A rotating assembly 406 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the air chamber 404. The rotating assembly 406 is fixed inside the glove box compartment. When the box body 1 is unlocked, the air in the air chamber 404 is slowly drawn in through the rubber block 405, thereby causing the push rod 402 to slowly release, preventing the box body 1 from popping out too quickly after unlocking.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a sealing layer is provided at the connection between the push rod 402 and the air chamber 404 to maintain the airtightness between the push rod 402 and the air chamber 404;
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the box body 1 has a first ventilation hole 5 on both sides and a second ventilation hole 6 on the front. The first ventilation hole 5 and the second ventilation hole 6 can prevent the box body 1 from being unable to ventilate and producing odors.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the storage compartment 2 is equipped with a partition 8, and a folding bag 9 is provided on one inner wall of the storage compartment 2. The partition 8 can store items such as water cups and cans, while the folding bag 9 is convenient for storing narrower items such as books, which facilitates the classification and storage of items in the storage compartment 2 and enhances the storage effect.
[0033] The above embodiment discloses a magnetic glove box. When the car is powered on, pressing the switch button 7 turns on the power, causing the two electromagnets 302 to attract each other magnetically, which drives the locking tongues 303 on both sides to retract and unlock the glove box. When the car is not powered on, the electromagnets 302 lose their attraction, the spring 306 resets, and the locking tongues 303 pop out and lock. When the car is not powered on, the button 309 can be pushed manually to drive the locking tongues 303 to retract and unlock. The inner slide bar 308 acts as a shield for the slide groove, solving the problem of not being able to open the glove box when the vehicle is powered off. After the box 1 is unlocked, the air in the air chamber 404 is slowly drawn in through the rubber block 405, so that the push rod 402 is slowly pushed out, preventing the box 1 from popping out too quickly after unlocking. The first ventilation hole 5 and the second ventilation hole 6 on the box 1 can prevent the box 1 from not being ventilated and producing odors. The partition 8 can store items such as water cups and cans, and the folding bag 9 is convenient for storing narrow items such as books, which facilitates the classified storage of the storage compartment 2.
[0034] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
