Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of driver's cabs, and particularly relates to a driver's cab with a folding storage box. Background Technology
[0002] A patent titled "Tabletop Structure for Automobile Cabin" is disclosed in the existing Chinese patent database, with application number CN202220403524.5 and application date of 2022-02-25. This patent describes a tabletop structure for an automobile cab, comprising a support rod, a connecting component at one end of the support rod, and a tabletop connected to the connecting component. The connecting component includes a connecting seat at one end connected to the end of the support rod via a flip shaft, and a rotating seat rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting seat. The rotating seat is connected to the tabletop. A flip-limiting unit is provided between the support rod and the connecting seat, and a rotation-limiting unit is provided between the rotating seat and the connecting seat. The flip-limiting unit restricts the tabletop to a folded position stored on one side of the support rod, or an unfolded position relative to the support rod. The rotation-limiting unit restricts the tabletop to a certain rotation angle. This invention provides a tabletop structure for an automobile cab that allows for flipping and rotating the tabletop, occupies minimal space, and offers high convenience, meeting the needs of drivers and passengers.
[0003] The limited space in existing driver's cabs makes it difficult to place a dedicated table, preventing drivers from eating properly inside the cab. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a driver's cab with a folding storage box. The storage box is designed as a foldable and extendable structure, which can also serve as a table, making it convenient for drivers to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that the existing cab space is limited, making it difficult to free up space to place a dedicated table, which prevents the driver from eating normally in the cab. In order to improve this shortcoming, this utility model provides a cab with a folding storage box.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0006] A driver's cab with a folding storage box includes a cab body, a box located at the rear bottom of the cab body, a cover plate covering the top of the box, the cover plate being connected to the inner wall of the box via a parallel four-bar linkage mechanism, the parallel four-bar linkage mechanism including a set of parallel long connecting rods, the upper ends of two long connecting rods being hinged to the cover plate, the lower ends being hinged to the inner wall of the box, a corner section integrally provided at the lower end of one long connecting rod, a connecting seat being hinged to the corner section, another connecting seat being hinged to the inner wall of the box, and a compression spring being provided between the two connecting seats.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: due to the foldable design of the box cover, the box can not only serve as a storage function, but also be used as a table after the cover is opened, which makes up for the defect that the table cannot be placed due to the limited space in the cab. This device is suitable for industrial production and has strong practicality.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the box, and the long connecting rod is hinged to the connecting plate.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting seat includes an ear plate seat, and a shaft is integrally formed on the outer surface of the base plate of the ear plate seat. The compression spring is sleeved on the shaft and its end face abuts against the surface of the base plate.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the cover plate includes an outer plate body, with supporting ribs fixedly connected at intervals at the bottom of the outer plate body, and a connecting flange integrally provided on the side of the supporting ribs. The connecting flange is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the outer plate body by bolts, and the upper end of the long connecting rod is hinged to the supporting ribs.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, an elastic pad is laid on the bottom surface of the box. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] like Figure 1-3The diagram shows a driver's cab with a folding storage box, comprising a cab body 1, a box 2 located at the rear bottom of the cab body 1, a cover plate 3 covering the box 2, and a parallel four-bar linkage connecting the cover plate 3 to the inner wall of the box 2. The parallel four-bar linkage includes a set of parallel long connecting rods 4, the upper ends of which are hinged to the cover plate 3, and the lower ends of which are hinged to the inner wall of the box 2. A corner section 5 is integrally formed at the lower end of one long connecting rod 4, and a connecting seat 6 is hinged to the corner section 5. Another connecting seat 6 is hinged to the inner wall of the box 2, and a compression spring 7 is located between the two connecting seats 6. A connecting plate 8 is fixed to the inner wall of the box 2, and the long connecting rods 4 are hinged to the connecting plate 8. The connecting seat 6 includes an ear plate seat 601. A shaft 602 is integrally formed on the outer surface of the base plate of the ear plate seat 601. A compression spring 7 is sleeved on the shaft 602, and its end face abuts against the surface of the base plate. The cover plate 3 includes an outer plate 301. Support ribs 302 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer plate 301 at intervals. A connecting flange 303 is integrally formed on the side of the support rib 302. The connecting flange 303 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the outer plate 301 by bolts. The upper end of the long connecting rod 4 is hinged to the support rib 302. An elastic soft pad 9 is laid on the bottom surface of the inner box 2. The elastic soft pad 9 is provided to facilitate the driver to place some fragile items.
[0018] When this utility model is in operation, the box 2 is fixed behind the driver's seat in the cab. When the cover 3 is closed, the box 2 is used as a storage box, which is convenient for the driver to place items. When the driver opens the cover 3, the long connecting rod 4 rotates clockwise, and the compression spring 7, which was originally in a compressed state, returns to its natural state. At the same time, the cover 3 remains in a horizontal state during the rotation of the long connecting rod 4. After the cover 3 is opened, it can be used as a table, which is convenient for the driver to eat in the vehicle. After use, the cover 3 is closed, the long connecting rod 4 rotates counterclockwise, and the compression spring 7 is compressed during the closing of the cover 3.
[0019] This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Based on the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model, those skilled in the art can make some substitutions and modifications to some of the technical features without creative labor, and these substitutions and modifications are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
