[0040] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0042] As disclosed in the background section, automobiles typically feature storage boxes or other forms of storage devices, which are usually fitted with covers. These covers often employ a push-button unlocking mechanism; however, this method carries a risk of accidental activation. Embodiments of this application provide a storage device that at least addresses this technical problem.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1-5The storage device 10 provided in the embodiments of this application includes a box body 100, a cover plate 200, a locking member 300, an unlocking member 400, and a torsion spring 500. A locking part 110 is provided on the box body 100; the cover plate 200 is disposed on the box body 100 and is used to open or close the box body 100; the locking member 300 is movably disposed on the cover plate 200; the locking member 300 is used to cooperate with the locking part 110 to lock the cover plate 200 to the box body 100; the unlocking member 400 is rotatably disposed on the cover plate 200 and drives the locking member 300 to move during rotation in a single direction, so that the locking member 300 is disengaged from the locking part 110; the torsion spring 500 is connected to both the unlocking member 400 and the cover plate 200 to reset the unlocking member 400.

[0044] The cover plate 200 is rotatably disposed on the box body 100 to open or close the box body 100; when the locking member 300 cooperates with the locking part 110, the locking member 300 locks the cover plate 200 to the box body 100, at which time the box body 100 is in a closed state; the locking part 110 can be a lock hole; the single direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0045] The axis of rotation of the unlocking member 400 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the locking member 300. As the unlocking member 400 rotates in a single direction, it drives the locking member 300 to move, thereby disengaging the locking member 300 from the locking part 110. When the locking member 300 is disengaged from the locking part 110, the cover plate 200 can rotate relative to the box body 100 to open the box body 100.

[0046] When it is necessary to unlock the cover 200, the unlocking member 400 is rotated in one direction. During the rotation, the unlocking member 400 drives the locking member 300 to move. During the movement, the locking member 300 disengages from the locking part 110. At this time, the cover 200 can rotate relative to the box 100 to open the box 100. Compared with the press-type unlocking method, the one-way rotation unlocking method of the cover 200 in this embodiment of the application better avoids the risk of accidentally touching the cover 200 and causing the cover 200 to unlock.

[0047] When the unlocking member 400 rotates in one direction, the torsion spring 500 deforms. When the rotational force acting on the unlocking member 400 disappears, the torsion spring 500 drives the unlocking member 400 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby resetting the unlocking member 400. After the unlocking member 400 is reset, the locking member 300 can re-engage with the locking part 110.

[0048] In this embodiment, the unlocking member 400 includes a guide rod 410 and an abutment portion 420 disposed on the guide rod 410. The guide rod 410 is rotatably disposed on the cover plate 200. The guide rod 410 is used to drive the abutment portion 420 to abut against and push the locking member 300 during rotation, so that the locking member 300 and the locking portion 110 are disengaged.

[0049] The abutment portion 420 may be integrally formed with the guide rod 410 and protrude from one side surface of the guide rod 410 along its own axis. The number of abutment portions 420 may be one or two.

[0050] The cover plate 200 includes an inner cover 210 and an outer cover 220 connected to each other. The inner cover 210 is rotatably mounted on the box body 100, and the guide rod 410 is rotatably mounted on the outer cover 220. The guide rod 410 can drive the abutment part 420 to move during rotation. During the movement, the abutment part 420 abuts against and pushes the locking member 300 so that the locking member 300 is disengaged from the locking part 110.

[0051] In some embodiments, the torsion spring 500 is connected to both the guide rod 410 and the cover plate 200, and the torsion spring 500 is used to reset the guide rod 410.

[0052] It should be noted that the connection methods between the torsion spring 500 and the guide rod 410 or the cover plate 200 include, but are not limited to, abutting, sleeve, and snap-fit.

[0053] In some embodiments, the storage device 10 further includes a reset structure 600 disposed on the cover plate 200. The reset structure 600 acts on both the cover plate 200 and the locking member 300 to make the locking member 300 tend to cooperate with the locking part 110.

[0054] The inner cover 210 has a mounting cavity 211, and the reset structure 600 is disposed in the mounting cavity 211. When the guide rod 410 rotates, the abutment part 420 abuts against and pushes the locking member 300, causing the reset structure 600 to deform. After the guide rod 410 is released, the torsion spring 500 can reset the guide rod 410, and the reset structure 600 makes the locking member 300 re-engage with the locking part 110. The reset structure 600 can be selected as a spring, with its two ends abutting against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 211 and the locking member 300, respectively.

[0055] In some embodiments, the unlocking member 400 includes a handle 430, which is fixedly connected to the guide rod 410.

[0056] The handle 430 is located outside the cover plate 200 for user operation. When the handle 430 is connected to the guide rod 410, rotating the handle 430 will cause the guide rod 410 to rotate. It is understood that the connection methods between the handle 430 and the guide rod 410 include, but are not limited to, snap-fit, plug-in, welding, and bonding.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the guide rod 410 is provided with a spline groove 413, and a portion of the handle 430 is fixedly connected to the spline groove 413 by spline engagement.

[0058] It should be noted that a part of the handle 430 is located outside the cover plate 200, and the other part of the handle 430 passes through the outer cover 220 and extends into the spline groove 413 and engages with the spline groove 413 through spline. At this time, turning the handle 430 can drive the guide rod 410 to rotate.

[0059] To prevent relative movement between the guide rod 410 and the handle 430 along the axial direction of the guide rod 410, the portions of the guide rod 410 and the handle 430 that extend into the spline groove 413 can be fixed with screws.

[0060] In some embodiments, the handle 430 includes a handle body 431 and a cover 432 connected to the handle body 431. A mounting base 224 is detachably provided on the outer cover 220. A portion of the handle body 431 extends into the spline groove 413 after passing through the mounting base 224 and the outer cover 220.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 6-10 In the embodiments of this application, a sleeve 225 is provided on the cover plate 200, and a torsion spring 500 is sleeved on the sleeve 225. One end of the torsion spring 500 is connected to the cover plate 200, and the other end of the torsion spring 500 is connected to the guide rod 410.

[0062] In the case where the cover plate 200 includes an inner cover 210 and an outer cover 220, the torsion spring 500 and the guide rod 410 are both located between the inner cover 210 and the outer cover 220. The sleeve 225 is disposed on the outer cover 220. One end of the torsion spring 500 passes through the slot 223 on the outer cover 220, and the other end of the torsion spring 500 passes through the through hole 414 on the guide rod 410.

[0063] It should be noted that the torsion spring 500 provides different restoring forces to the guide rod 410 when the guide rod 410 rotates clockwise and counterclockwise, resulting in different resistances felt by the user when turning the handle 430 clockwise or counterclockwise. Therefore, the torsion spring 500 is suitable for one-way unlocking. It is understandable that the torsion spring 500 could also be a spring-loaded or other elastic restoring element.

[0064] In some embodiments, the guide rod 410 is provided with an extension portion 412 extending outward along its own radial direction, and the cover plate 200 is provided with a limiting portion 222, which is used to abut against the extension portion 412 to limit the guide rod 410.

[0065] When the cover plate 200 includes an inner cover 210 and an outer cover 220, the limiting part 222 is provided on the outer cover 220. When the guide rod 410 rotates, the extension part 412 on the guide rod 410 will abut against the limiting part 222. At this time, the limiting part 222 prevents the guide rod 410 from rotating further and plays a limiting role on the guide rod 410.

[0066] An extension 412 may be provided on one side of the guide rod 410, and a through hole 414 is opened in the extension 412. One end of the torsion spring 500 passes through the through hole 414. During the rotation of the guide rod 410, the extension 412 abuts against the limiting part 222 on the outer cover 220 to limit the rotation angle of the guide rod 410.

[0067] Optionally, two limiting parts 222 may be provided on the outer cover 220 along the circumferential direction, and the extension 412 moves between the two limiting parts 222. When the guide rod 410 is in the reset state, the extension 412 abuts against one of the limiting parts 222, so that the guide rod 410 can only rotate in one direction.

[0068] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, when the guide rod 410 is in the reset state, the extension 412 abuts against one of the limiting parts 222. At this time, the guide rod 410 can only rotate clockwise until the extension 412 abuts against the other limiting part 222.

[0069] The working principle of the storage device 10 provided in this application embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to unlock the cover 200, the handle 430 is rotated in one direction. The handle 430 drives the guide rod 410 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation, the abutment part 420 on the guide rod 410 abuts against and pushes the locking member 300 to move. During the movement, the locking member 300 disengages from the locking part 110. At this time, the cover 200 can be rotated outward relative to the box body 100 to open the box body 100. Then, the cover 200 is rotated towards the box body 100 to close the box body 100. Then, the handle 430 is released, the torsion spring 500 resets the guide rod 410, and the reset structure 600 re-engages the locking member 300 with the locking part 110, thereby locking the cover 200 back into the box body 100.

[0070] The storage device 10 provided in this application embodiment can be applied to transportation vehicles such as automobiles, ships, and aircraft. Figure 13 The storage device 10 is shown in the state of being applied to a car.

[0071] In summary, this application provides a storage device 10, which includes a housing 100, a cover 200, a locking member 300, an unlocking member 400, and a torsion spring 500. When the cover 200 needs to be unlocked, the unlocking member 400 is rotated. During the rotation of the unlocking member 400 in a single direction, the locking member 300 is moved, thereby disengaging the locking member 300 from the locking part 110. At this time, the cover 200 can move relative to the housing 100. When the rotational force on the unlocking member 400 disappears, the torsion spring 500 drives the unlocking member 400 to rotate in the opposite direction to reset, and the locking member 300 re-engages with the locking part 110. Compared with the press-type unlocking method, the one-way rotation unlocking method of the cover 200 in this application better avoids the risk of accidentally unlocking the cover 200.

[0072] 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.
