Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and more specifically, to a storage device in the lower slot of a car door. Background Technology

[0002] A car is not only a means of transportation but also a mobile "living space." With limited interior space, storage areas provide convenient storage for personal items such as vehicle registration documents, change, charging cables, mobile phones, wallets, keys, and water bottles. Door slots, in particular, make efficient use of the unused space inside the doors, maximizing space utilization. Passengers can easily access their belongings while the car is moving or stopping. For example, while driving, the driver can easily retrieve frequently used items like tickets and mobile phones from the door slot storage area without having to search for them elsewhere in the car, reducing distraction and improving driving safety. Passengers can also conveniently place and retrieve their own items, such as grabbing a water bottle for a drink. Furthermore, people may need to temporarily store small items such as parking cards, keys, and coins. Door slot storage areas provide a suitable place to put these items, preventing them from being scattered throughout the car and maintaining a neat and tidy interior. However, the horizontal openings of car door storage areas are relatively narrow and the vertical depth is relatively deep, making them inconvenient to clean. In particular, when storing items containing moisture, the seeping water, mud, and dust can easily remain in the door storage area, which not only affects the aesthetics of the car's interior but also easily breeds bacteria, reducing the hygiene of the car's interior. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to overcome at least one defect (deficiency) of the prior art and provide a door under-slot storage device to solve the problem that the horizontal opening of the car door under-slot storage area is narrow and the vertical depth is deep, making it inconvenient to clean.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is a door under-slot storage device, including a storage box and a cup holder. The storage box is a box structure with an opening on the upper side, having a first side, a second side, a front side, a rear side, and a lower side. The first side is close to the car door, and the second side is away from the car door. The first side, the second side, the front side, the rear side, and the lower side together form a storage cavity. The cup holder is located on the front side of the storage box and is a cylindrical shape with an opening on the upper side, having a side wall and a bottom wall.

[0005] The door under-slot storage unit is located within the lower part of the car door and includes a storage box for storing items and a cup holder for placing water cups or bottles. The storage box is used to hold various items such as vehicle registration documents, wallets, mobile phones, and keys, while the cup holder is for the driver's or passenger's water cups or bottles. When the storage unit accumulates mud, dust, moisture, or needs replacement, it can be removed individually for cleaning or replacement without needing to clean the entire door under-slot, improving cleaning and maintenance efficiency and saving time.

[0006] Furthermore, the lower side of the storage box and the bottom wall of the water cup position gradually slope downwards from back to front and from the first side to the second side.

[0007] To facilitate easy access for drivers and passengers to items in the lower storage area of ​​car doors, the storage area is typically designed to slope towards the front and inside of the vehicle. The lower side of the storage box and the bottom wall of the cup holder are designed to gradually slope downwards from back to front and from the first side to the second side, so that the bottom of the storage device matches the bottom of the lower storage area of ​​the car door for a tighter fit.

[0008] Furthermore, a rib is provided on the front side of the water cup position.

[0009] The lower door recess is typically circular in front, used to hold cups and bottles. However, its angled design makes it easy for liquids to spill while the car is moving. In this case, the cup holder in the lower door recess storage unit is vertically positioned, creating a gap between the side wall of the cup holder and the front side wall of the lower door recess. Adding ribs fills this gap, allowing the storage unit to fit more snugly against the inner wall of the lower door recess, preventing movement within the unit. Furthermore, the ribs enhance the structural stability of the storage unit. Given the angled circular design of the lower door recess and the vertical side wall of the cup holder, the gap between the upper part of the cup holder's side wall and the front side wall of the lower door recess is larger, while the gap between the lower part and the cup holder's side wall is smaller. Therefore, the ribs are designed in a triangular shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0010] Furthermore, the rear side and lower side of the storage box are connected by a rounded transition.

[0011] The opening of the lower door storage compartment is relatively narrow and deep. Therefore, the rear and lower sides of the compartment are usually rounded to allow items placed inside to move towards the center of the compartment, making them easier to access. The rounded transition between the rear and lower sides of the storage box is to match the lower door storage compartment, and also allows items placed inside to move towards the center of the box, facilitating access and reducing dust accumulation in hard-to-reach areas.

[0012] Furthermore, the side wall of the water cup position is provided with multiple inwardly protruding protrusions.

[0013] There are many types of water cups and bottles, and different water cups and bottles have different diameters. Multiple inward protrusions are set on the side wall of the water cup position to restrict the water cup or bottle, prevent the water cup or bottle from moving and making noise in the water cup position, or to prevent the water cup or bottle from falling due to vehicle bumps.

[0014] Furthermore, the storage box is provided with a partition, which divides the storage cavity into a first storage cavity and a second storage cavity, with the second storage cavity located in front of the first storage cavity.

[0015] A clearance area is provided behind the cup holder to avoid protruding components located in the lower door groove. This clearance area is relatively close to the cup holder, which could lead to wasted space. A divider separates the storage compartment into a first and a second storage compartment. The clearance area is located within the second storage compartment, which is smaller than the first. The smaller second storage compartment can be used to store smaller items such as coins and keys, while the larger first storage compartment can be used to store larger items such as wallets, mobile phones, and chargers. This design avoids large items taking up too much space, leaving no room for smaller items, or small items appearing cluttered in a large space. It facilitates the categorization and retrieval of items and also more rationally plans the internal space of the lower door groove storage box, improving space utilization.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the first and second storage cavities is provided with an anti-slip structure.

[0017] The storage space under the car door is relatively small and is mostly used to place small items such as wallets, coins, keys, and mobile phones. During vehicle operation, these items tend to move back and forth in the storage box, generating noise. Anti-slip structures are installed at the bottom of the first and second storage compartments to prevent items from sliding inside and reduce noise generation.

[0018] Furthermore, a cover plate is provided on the top of the first storage cavity, and the cover plate is hinged to the storage box.

[0019] The first storage compartment is relatively large and tends to hold many and varied items. Adding a cover creates a closed storage space, making it convenient for passengers to store personal belongings and preventing them from being exposed, thus enhancing the refinement and aesthetics of the vehicle's interior. For example, when storing private items, the closed storage compartment protects personal privacy while also making the interior look neater and more organized. The cover also prevents items from falling out of the storage compartment due to vehicle bumps.

[0020] Furthermore, the first storage cavity has a frame, and a notch is provided on the rear frame, with round holes on both sides of the notch; a round retaining strip is provided on the rear side of the cover plate, and the round retaining strip is detachably disposed in the round hole.

[0021] By setting a round hole on the rear edge of the first storage compartment and a round retaining strip on the rear side of the cover, the cover and storage box are hinged by placing the retaining strip inside the round hole. The structure is simple and highly practical. Furthermore, hinged to the rear of the storage box, the cover can be opened from the front, which is more in line with human habits.

[0022] Furthermore, a first magnetic attraction element is provided on the front side of the first storage cavity, and a second magnetic attraction element is provided at a corresponding position on the cover plate.

[0023] A first magnetic suction element is provided on the front side of the first storage cavity, and a second magnetic suction element is provided at the corresponding position on the cover. The magnetic force between the first and second magnetic suction elements can be used to attach the cover to the storage box, preventing the cover from vibrating and generating noise during the car's operation.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a storage device in the lower door groove for storage, when the storage device contains residual mud, dust, moisture, etc., or needs to be replaced, it can be removed separately for cleaning or replacement without cleaning the entire lower door groove. This improves cleaning and maintenance efficiency, saves time, and solves the problem of inconvenient cleaning caused by the narrow horizontal opening and deep vertical depth of the car door groove storage area. The storage device includes a storage box and a cup holder, which can be used to place personal items and cups respectively. The bottom of the storage device slopes downward from back to front and from the side of the door towards the inside of the car to match the shape of the car door groove, making it fit tightly against the door groove. At the same time, it also allows items to move towards the driver and passengers under the action of gravity for easy access. Ribs are provided on the front side of the cup holder to enhance the stability of the structure and to fill the gap between the cup holder and the front side of the car door groove, preventing the storage device from moving within the car door groove. The side wall of the cup holder features multiple inward-protruding bumps to restrict the movement of cups or bottles. The storage compartment is divided into first and second storage compartments of different sizes, facilitating the categorization and retrieval of items while improving space utilization. A cover is installed on top of the first storage compartment, creating a closed storage space for passengers to store personal belongings, preventing items from being exposed and enhancing the refinement and aesthetics of the vehicle interior.
