Detailed Implementation
[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] This application provides a front trunk and a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a front trunk and a hood, and the hood can be closed over the front trunk.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the front trunk includes a main body 1 and a sealing part 3. The main body 1 is provided with a storage compartment 2 and an operating port 4. The sealing part 3 is connected to the main body 1 and surrounds the upper surface of the main body 1 to form a sealing area. The storage compartment 2 and the operating port 4 are both located within the sealing area. A cover plate 6 is also provided at the operating port 4. The cover plate 6 covers the operating port 4 and a first sealing element 9 is sandwiched between it and the sealing area. The first sealing element 9 is arranged along the circumference of the operating port 4.
[0031] After the hood is closed over the front trunk, the sealing part 3 can achieve a seal between the hood and the front trunk, and form a sealed space above the sealing area. When the hood is closed, the sealed space is isolated from the external environment, effectively preventing external dust, water and other substances from entering the sealed space and ensuring the overall cleanliness of the sealed space.
[0032] When the user operates the control port 4, they can open the hood, then open the corresponding cover plate 6, and operate the control port 4. Since a first sealing element 9 is sandwiched between the cover plate 6 and the sealing area, and the first sealing element 9 is arranged around the circumference of the control port 4, it can also prevent external dust, water, etc. from entering the sealed space through the control port 4 from the bottom of the vehicle. This ensures the sealing and cleanliness of the sealed space when the hood is closed in the front trunk, thereby preventing dust from entering the storage box and ensuring the cleanliness of the items in the storage box.
[0033] Furthermore, due to the cleanliness of the sealed space, the surface of the cover plate 6 is free of dust. When the user opens the cover and operates the control port 4, the surface of the cover plate 6 is free of dust, which facilitates user operation and effectively improves the user experience.
[0034] All the control ports 4 are covered and hidden by the cover plate 6. When the user opens the front trunk, they do not see the multiple messy control ports 4 directly, but only the cover plate 6, which makes the front trunk more organized and improves the user experience.
[0035] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the sealing part 3 is not limited. The sealing part 3 can be a sealing strip, and a mating surface corresponding to the sealing strip is provided on the side wall of the hood facing the front trunk. After the hood is closed to the front trunk, the sealing strip can be pressed by the mating surface to achieve a seal. Alternatively, the sealing part 3 can be set as a protrusion, and the upper surface of the protrusion forms a sealing surface. At the same time, a sealing strip corresponding to the protrusion is provided on the side wall of the hood facing the front trunk. When the hood is closed, the sealing surface of the protrusion abuts against the sealing strip to achieve a seal.
[0036] Additionally, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the sealing part 3 may be arranged along the circumference of the body part 1 to form a larger sealing area, the area of which is similar to the area of the body part 1. Alternatively, the sealing part 3 may be a partial area of the body part 1 enclosing the sealing area, the area of which may be smaller than the area of the body part 1. No specific restrictions are imposed here.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the sealing area is also provided with a mating groove 11 corresponding to the cover plate 6. The operating port 4 is located on the bottom wall of the mating groove 11. The mating groove 11 can position the cover plate 6, ensuring that when the cover plate 6 is closed with the operating port 4, it can clamp the first sealing element 9 with the bottom wall of the mating groove 11, ensuring sealing. Furthermore, when the cover plate 6 is closed with the operating port 4, the cover plate 6 is completely located within the mating groove 11. The outer wall surface of the cover plate 6 can also be aligned with the end face of the opening end of the mating groove 11, so that the cover plate 6 does not protrude from the surface of the sealing area, resulting in a more regular overall structure and a better user experience. The cover plate 6 and the sealing area can be fixed by means of snap-fit, bolt connection, etc., without specific restrictions.
[0038] The front trunk also includes a front trunk light and a mounting plate 5. The mounting plate 5 is located on the side wall of the storage compartment 2, and the front trunk light is installed on the mounting plate 5. If the light is too dim after the user opens the hood, the user can turn on the front trunk light to provide illumination, which is convenient for the user to put in or take out items or to operate the control port 4. There is no need to set up additional lighting equipment, which provides a good user experience.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the storage compartment 2 also has a hood lock adjustment hole 21 on its side wall. The hood lock can be adjusted through the hood lock adjustment hole 21. Setting the hood lock adjustment hole 21 on the side wall of the storage compartment 2, compared with setting it in other areas of the front trunk, such as the sealing area, can make the overall structure of the front trunk more regular and reduce the clutter caused by dividing the front trunk into too many areas.
[0040] The mounting plate 5 is detachably connected to the side wall of the storage compartment 2, and the mounting plate 5 can cover the hood lock adjustment hole 21 when it is installed. When the hood lock needs to be adjusted, the mounting plate 5 can be removed directly for adjustment. After adjustment, the mounting plate 5 can be installed on the side wall of the storage compartment 2 to cover the hood lock adjustment hole 21.
[0041] Of course, additional components such as covers can be used to cover the hood lock adjustment hole 21. Covering the hood lock adjustment hole 21 with the mounting plate 5 can further simplify the overall structure, making the overall structure more regular and effectively improving aesthetics and user experience.
[0042] like Figure 2As shown, the hood lock adjustment hole 21 is located on the front side wall of the storage compartment 2. The front side wall refers to the side wall facing the front of the vehicle, which is convenient for the user to operate.
[0043] The number of operating ports 4 is not limited; one, two, or more are all acceptable. In this embodiment, the operating ports 4 are configured to allow gas, liquid, or tools to pass through, and users can perform liquid replenishment, gas replenishment, or maintenance operations through the operating ports 4.
[0044] The operation port 4 located on the main body 1 includes at least one of the following: brake fluid filling port, coolant filling port, fuse box maintenance port, and cleaning fluid filling port. This facilitates operation of each operation port 4 and ensures cleanliness. The specific configuration can be adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0045] In this embodiment, when the number of operation ports 4 is two or more, each cover plate 6 may correspond to only one operation port 4, or each cover plate 6 may correspond to at least two operation ports 4, or some cover plates 6 may correspond to one operation port 4, or some cover plates 6 may correspond to at least two operation ports 4.
[0046] When a cover plate 6 is closed onto at least two operating ports 4, the cover plate 6 can be configured as a single unit. After the cover plate 6 is opened, the user can operate on each operating port 4 corresponding to the cover plate 6. Alternatively, it can be configured as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, part of the cover plate 6 includes a first cover body 7 and a second cover body 8. The first cover body 7 has an operation hole 71, which communicates with at least one operation port 4. The operation hole 71 is covered by the second cover body 8. A second sealing member 10 is also sandwiched between the second cover body 8 and the first cover body 7. The second sealing member 10 is arranged circumferentially along the operation hole 71 to ensure the sealing performance of the second cover body 8 and the operation hole 71 when they are closed.
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cover plate 6 is provided on each side of the storage compartment 2. One cover plate 6 is used to cover the fuse box maintenance port, and the other cover plate 6 is used to cover the coolant filling port and the cleaning fluid filling port. The cover plate 6 used to cover the coolant filling port and the cleaning fluid filling port includes a first cover body 7 and a second cover body 8. The first cover body 7 covers the coolant filling port and has an operating hole 71. The second cover body 8 covers the operating hole 71 and the cleaning fluid filling port. A second sealing member 10 is sandwiched between the second cover body 8 and the first cover body 7. The second sealing member 10 is arranged circumferentially along the operating hole 71. The cleaning fluid filling port is located at the operating hole 71. The user can open the second cover plate 6 to perform the cleaning fluid filling operation without opening the first cover plate 6.
[0048] Of course, in this embodiment, each cover plate 6 can also be set as a complete structure without the operation hole 71. In this case, the coolant filling port and the cleaning fluid filling port are respectively covered by an independent cover plate 6. When they are covered by a single cover plate 6, and the cover plate 6 includes a first cover body 7 and a second cover body 8, the overall structure can be more regular, such as... Figure 1 The two covers 6 shown are located on both sides of the storage compartment 2. Compared with the structure of setting multiple covers 6 on the outer periphery of the storage compartment 2, the overall structure can be simplified, making the front trunk structure more regular, more aesthetically pleasing, and providing a better user experience.
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first cover 7 is also provided with a receiving groove 72, and the bottom of the receiving groove 72 is provided with the aforementioned operating hole 71. The second cover 8 is located in the receiving groove 72, and the outer wall surface of the second cover 8 is flush with the outer wall surface of the first cover 7. In this way, the second cover 8 does not protrude from the surface of the first cover 7, resulting in a better user experience.
[0050] A sealing protrusion 721 is also provided on the bottom of the receiving groove 72 along the circumference of the operating hole 71. The second sealing element 10 is sandwiched between the second cover 8 and the sealing protrusion 721 to ensure the sealing between the second cover 8 and the first cover 7. Of course, the sealing protrusion 721 can also be omitted, and the second cover 8 can directly adhere to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 72 and clamp the second sealing element 10. The provision of the sealing protrusion 721 can ensure the degree and uniformity of clamping of the second sealing element 10 between the first cover 7 and the second cover 8, and ensure the sealing along the circumference of the operating hole 71.
[0051] An operating space 722 is left between one edge of the second cover 8 and the corresponding side wall of the receiving groove 72. The cover 6 extends towards the operating space 722 and is provided with an extension 81 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown, when opening the second cover 8, the user can directly insert their finger into the operating space 722 and open the second cover 8 through the extension 81, or use an operating tool, such as a screwdriver, to insert its end into the operating space 722 and pry open the extension 81 to open the cover 6. Of course, in this embodiment, the outer surface of the second cover 8 may also be provided with a handle or other operating component. When the receiving groove 72 is set as the operating space 722 and the second cover 8 is provided with the extension 81, it can facilitate the opening of the second cover 8 while simplifying the overall structure. Furthermore, the outer wall surface of the second cover 8 has no protruding structure, avoiding interference when the user takes items out of the storage slot.
[0052] Furthermore, the sidewalls of the receiving slot 72 and the operating space 722 are curved. In other words, the sidewalls of the operating space 722 are curved. Of course, the sidewalls of the operating space 722 can also be set as a flat structure. The curved surface setting improves the user's manual operation comfort when opening the second cover 8, resulting in a better user experience.
[0053] The second cover 8 and the side wall of the receiving groove 72 are fixed together by a snap-fit connection, specifically, as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the receiving groove 72 is provided with a first snap-fit structure 723, and the second cover 8 is provided with a second snap-fit structure 82. After the second cover 8 is fastened to the operating hole 71, it can be snapped and fixed by the first snap-fit structure 723 and the second snap-fit structure 82. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the second cover 8 is also provided with multiple positioning protrusions 83, each positioning protrusion 83 arranged circumferentially along the operating hole 71. In the installed state, the outer wall surface of each positioning protrusion 83 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the operating hole 71 to ensure that the second cover 8 can completely cover the operating hole 71 in the installed state, and can also clamp the second sealing element 10 with the first cover 7. To facilitate installation and improve installation efficiency, the outer wall surface of the positioning protrusion 83 can also be provided with a guide surface. During installation, the end of the positioning protrusion 83 is first inserted into the operating hole 71, and then the inner wall of the operating hole 71 slides along the guide surface until it is engaged and fixed by the first snap-fit structure 723 and the second snap-fit structure 82.
[0055] Of course, the second cover 8 and the first cover 7 can also be pivotally connected. The pivot axis is located on the side of the cover away from the operating space 722. When the user manually operates the extension 81, the second cover 8 can rotate around the pivot axis after the cover is opened on the side facing the operating space 722. When closed, the second cover 8 can be pivoted in the opposite direction and pressed on the side of the cover facing the operating space 722, which is relatively convenient.
