Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle interior technology, specifically to a vehicle glove box and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The glove box in a vehicle is a component installed on the dashboard, primarily for storing items. It typically features a flip-up design, consisting of a cover and a compartment. The cover and compartment are connected, and the compartment is secured to the dashboard via a latch mechanism. When the glove box is opened or closed, the cover and compartment rotate synchronously. To avoid interference between the compartment and the dashboard, the compartment is relatively short in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, resulting in limited storage space and impacting the user experience.

[0003] Therefore, in some technologies, the glove box and the dashboard are fixedly connected, while the cover and the glove box are rotatably connected. This can increase the storage space of the glove box. However, the increased volume of the glove box will lead to an increase in weight, which will affect the installation stability of the glove box. In addition, the excessive load on the mounting point will make it easy to be damaged. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this utility model is to provide a vehicle glove box to solve the problems of increased volume, weight, and installation stability of existing vehicle glove boxes, as well as the risk of damage due to excessive load on the installation points; the second objective is to provide a vehicle.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A vehicle glove box includes: a frame including a box body and a mounting plate, one end of the box body in the x-direction being connected to the mounting plate, the mounting plate protruding from the box body in the z-direction and / or y-direction to form an instrument panel connection portion, the box body having a storage cavity, the mounting plate having an opening communicating with the storage cavity, the opening being arranged in pairs in the x, y, and z directions; a front wall panel connecting bracket connected to one side of the box body in the z-direction and located at the end of the box body away from the mounting plate in the x-direction; and a cover rotatably connected to the mounting plate, the cover being rotatable between an open position and a closed position, the cover exposing the opening when in the open position and sealing the opening when in the closed position.

[0007] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the glove box frame is fixedly connected to the dashboard via a mounting plate. When the cover rotates, the glove box frame does not rotate with it, thus eliminating concerns about interference between the frame and the dashboard. The frame's dimensions in the x-direction (i.e., the vehicle's longitudinal direction) can be increased, expanding the storage compartment space. Furthermore, since the relative positions of the frame and the dashboard are fixed, and the frame's dimensions in the x-direction are increased, the frame can effectively conceal the dashboard's internal structure, eliminating the need for an additional passenger-side underbody panel. Consequently, the frame's dimensions in the z-direction (i.e., the vehicle's height direction) can also be increased, further expanding the storage compartment space and improving space utilization. Additionally, the frame is fixedly connected to the front wall panel via a front wall panel connecting bracket, increasing the number of mounting points between the glove box and the vehicle body. This improves the glove box's installation stability and reduces the load on each mounting point, lowering the risk of damage to a single mounting point and ensuring the glove box's rigidity, strength, and modal characteristics.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting plate includes a mounting portion and a boss, the instrument panel connecting portion is formed in the mounting portion, and the boss is connected to the side of the mounting portion facing the box body; the box body includes a first box and a second box, the first box and the second box are connected along the z-direction and together define the storage cavity, the first box is connected to the front wall panel connecting bracket and is integrally formed with the mounting plate, and the second box is connected in the z-direction to the side of the boss facing away from the first box.

[0009] Based on the above technical means, the box body is divided into two parts: the first box body and the second box body. Each part is easy to process and mold, and it is convenient to realize the connection between the box body, the mounting plate and the front wall panel.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting plate is provided on the side of the first housing facing away from the second housing. The mounting plate is located on the side of the first housing away from the mounting plate in the x direction. The front wall panel connecting bracket is connected to the mounting plate.

[0011] According to the above technical means, the distance between the first housing and the front wall panel in the z direction can be shortened, thereby reducing the size of the front wall panel connecting bracket in the z direction. The front wall panel connecting bracket has higher structural strength, which is beneficial for fixing the relative position between the first housing and the front wall panel.

[0012] Furthermore, the instrument panel connection includes a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion. The first mounting portion protrudes from the housing body in the y-direction, and the second mounting portion protrudes from the housing body in the z-direction. The mounting plate is rotatably connected to the cover plate on the side of the mounting plate away from the second mounting portion in the z-direction.

[0013] Based on the above technical means, the connection area between the vehicle glove box and the instrument panel is large, which is conducive to improving the connection strength between the vehicle glove box and the instrument panel, and the cover will not interfere with the connection part of the instrument panel during rotation, which facilitates the rotation of the cover.

[0014] Furthermore, the first mounting part has an instrument panel snap-fit ​​part on the side facing the box body; both the edge of the first mounting part and the edge of the second mounting part have instrument panel connection holes.

[0015] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the relative position between the frame and the instrument panel can be pre-fixed by the instrument panel snap-fit ​​part, and then the relative position between the frame and the instrument panel can be locked by the fasteners passing through the instrument panel connection hole and the instrument panel, thereby improving installation efficiency and positioning accuracy.

[0016] Furthermore, the second mounting part is also provided with a steering support arm connection hole, which is located in the z-direction between the instrument panel connection hole and the open opening.

[0017] Based on the above technical means, further increasing the number of mounting points for the automotive glove box can improve the installation stability of the glove box and reduce the stress on each mounting point, thereby reducing the risk of damage due to excessive load on a single mounting point and ensuring the rigidity, strength, and modal stability of the automotive glove box.

[0018] Furthermore, the cover plate includes: a plate body; a positioning insert disposed on the side of the plate body facing the box frame, wherein the first mounting part is provided with a positioning socket, and the positioning insert is movably inserted into the positioning socket; and a positioning protrusion disposed on the positioning insert, and disposed on opposite sides of the plate body in the thickness direction of the first mounting part, wherein when the cover plate is in the open position, the positioning protrusion abuts against the side of the first mounting part facing away from the plate body.

[0019] Based on the above technical means, on the one hand, the relative position between the cover and the box frame can be limited, and on the other hand, the maximum opening angle of the cover can be limited, which facilitates the reuse of automotive glove boxes.

[0020] Furthermore, the first mounting part includes a base plate and a guide section. The positioning socket is disposed on the base plate. The guide section is connected to the side of the base plate facing away from the plate body. The guide section is provided with a guide channel communicating with the positioning socket. The positioning plug is inserted into the guide channel. When the cover plate is in the open position, the positioning protrusion abuts against the side of the guide section facing away from the plate body.

[0021] Based on the above technical means, the limiting effect of the first installation part on the positioning plug can be enhanced, which is beneficial to limiting the relative position between the cover plate and the box frame, and can reduce the maximum opening angle of the cover plate to a certain extent, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0022] Furthermore, the automotive glove box also includes a damper, comprising a base and a damping rod. The base is provided with a groove, and the damping rod is slidably inserted into the groove. The base is mounted on the box body. The damper and the positioning protrusion are located on the same side in the thickness direction of the first mounting portion, and the damping rod is connected to the positioning plug.

[0023] Based on the above technical means, the rotation speed of the cover plate relative to the box frame can be controlled, avoiding excessive force on the cover plate and box frame and causing damage.

[0024] A vehicle includes an instrument panel; the aforementioned vehicle glove box, wherein the mounting plate is connected to the instrument panel.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] (1) The glove box frame is fixedly connected to the instrument panel via a mounting plate. When the cover rotates, the glove box frame does not rotate with the cover, so there is no need to worry about interference between the glove box frame and the instrument panel. The size of the glove box frame in the x-direction (i.e., the front-rear direction of the vehicle) can be increased, expanding the storage compartment space. Furthermore, since the relative position of the glove box frame and the instrument panel is fixed, and the size of the glove box frame in the x-direction is increased, the glove box frame can effectively shield the internal structure of the instrument panel, eliminating the need for an additional passenger-side bottom panel. Consequently, the size of the glove box frame in the z-direction (i.e., the height direction of the vehicle) can also be increased, further expanding the storage compartment space and improving space utilization. In addition, the glove box frame is fixedly connected to the front wall panel via a front wall panel connecting bracket, increasing the mounting points between the glove box and the vehicle body. On the one hand, this improves the installation stability of the glove box, and on the other hand, it reduces the load on each mounting point, reducing the risk of damage to a single mounting point and ensuring the rigidity, strength, and modal characteristics of the glove box.

[0027] (2) The box body is divided into two parts: the first box body and the second box body. Each part is easy to process and mold, and it is easy to realize the connection between the box body, the mounting plate and the front wall panel.

[0028] (3) It can shorten the distance between the first box and the front wall panel in the z direction, thereby reducing the size of the front wall panel connecting bracket in the z direction. The front wall panel connecting bracket has higher structural strength, which is beneficial to fixing the relative position between the first box and the front wall panel.

[0029] (4) The large connection area between the glove box and the instrument panel is beneficial to improving the connection strength between the glove box and the instrument panel, and the cover will not interfere with the connection part of the instrument panel during rotation, which facilitates the rotation of the cover.

[0030] (5) The relative position between the box frame and the instrument panel can be pre-fixed by the instrument panel snap-fit ​​part, and then the relative position between the box frame and the instrument panel can be locked by the fasteners passing through the instrument panel connection hole and the instrument panel, thereby improving installation efficiency and positioning accuracy;

[0031] (6) Further increase the number of installation points for the vehicle glove box. On the one hand, this can improve the installation stability of the vehicle glove box. On the other hand, it can reduce the stress on each installation point, reduce the risk of damage due to excessive load on a single installation point, and ensure the rigidity, strength and modality of the vehicle glove box.

[0032] (7) On the one hand, it can limit the relative position between the cover and the box frame, and on the other hand, it can limit the maximum opening angle of the cover, which facilitates the reuse of the vehicle glove box;

[0033] (8) It can enhance the limiting effect of the first installation part on the positioning plug, which is conducive to limiting the relative position between the cover plate and the box frame, and can reduce the maximum opening angle of the cover plate to a certain extent, thus improving the user's comfort.

[0034] (9) It can control the rotation speed of the cover plate relative to the box frame, so as to avoid the cover plate and box frame being damaged due to excessive force. Attached Figure Description

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0048] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this utility model and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0049] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0050] The following is combined Figures 1 to 9 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a first aspect, a vehicle glove box 1 is provided, the vehicle glove box 1 including a box frame 100, a front wall panel connecting bracket 600 and a cover plate 200.

[0052] The frame 100 includes a body 110 and a mounting plate 120. One end of the body 110 in the x-direction is connected to the mounting plate 120. The mounting plate 120 protrudes from the body 110 in the z-direction and / or y-direction to form an instrument panel connection 150. The body 110 has a storage cavity 101, and the mounting plate 120 has an opening 102 that communicates with the storage cavity 101. The x-direction, y-direction, and z-direction are arranged in pairs, and can also be arranged perpendicularly to each other.

[0053] The front wall panel connecting bracket 600 is connected to one side of the box body 110 in the z direction, and the front wall panel connecting bracket 600 is located at the end of the box body 110 away from the mounting plate 120 in the x direction. The front wall panel connecting bracket 600 is connected to the front wall panel 4 of the vehicle.

[0054] The cover plate 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 120. The cover plate 200 can rotate between an open position and a closed position. When the cover plate 200 is in the open position, the opening 102 is exposed, and when the cover plate 200 is in the closed position, the opening 102 is closed. The cover plate 200 and the mounting plate 120 are connected by a pivot 500.

[0055] In this context, when the glove box 1 is installed on a vehicle, the x-direction represents the vehicle's front-to-back direction, the y-direction represents the vehicle's left-to-right direction, and the z-direction represents the vehicle's height direction. Specifically, the rear end of the glove box body 110 is connected to the mounting plate 120, the front wall panel connecting bracket 600 is connected to the lower surface of the glove box body 110, the front wall panel connecting bracket 600 is located at the front end of the glove box body 110, and the instrument panel connecting part 150 is located on the left / right or upper / lower sides of the glove box body 110. The following descriptions of directions refer to the orientation when the glove box 1 is installed on a vehicle.

[0056] The vehicle glove box 1 may also include a locking mechanism 300, which includes a first locking part 310 and a second locking part 320. The first locking part 310 is disposed on the box frame 100, and the second locking part 320 is disposed on the cover plate 200. When the cover plate 200 is in the open position, the first locking part 310 and the second locking part 320 are separated. When the cover plate 200 is in the closed position, the first locking part 310 and the second locking part 320 are locked together.

[0057] For example, the first locking part 310 is connected to the box frame 100 via a locking part mounting member 350. The locking part mounting member 350 may include a threaded fastener and a fixing plate. The fixing plate and the box frame 100 clamp the first locking part 310. The threaded fastener passes through the fixing plate and is mounted on the box frame 100 to position the fixing plate and the box body 110. The threaded fastener may be a screw or a bolt.

[0058] Additionally, the first locking part 310 may include a button 340, a spring 330, and a locking member 360. When the button 340 is not pressed and the cover plate 200 is in the closed position, the locking member 360 is locked in place with the second locking part 320. When the button 340 is pressed, the button 340 drives the locking member 360 to move, and the locking member 360 separates from the second locking part 320. At this time, the cover plate 200 can rotate relative to the box frame 100. When the button 340 is stopped being pressed, the spring 330 can drive the locking member 360 to reset, so as to realize the next locking engagement between the locking member 360 and the second locking part 320.

[0059] In this utility model, when opening the vehicle glove box 1, pressing the button 340 on the box body 110 will push the locking member 360 to move along the y direction (i.e., the left and right direction of the vehicle). When the locking member 360 reaches a certain stroke, the locking member 360 and the second locking part 320 separate, and the cover plate 200 can rotate relative to the box frame 100. Rotating the cover plate 200 to the open position allows items to be taken out from the storage cavity 101 through the open opening 102, or items to be placed into the storage cavity 101. Stop pressing the button 340, and the locking member 360 will return to the initial state under the action of the spring 330.

[0060] When closing the vehicle glove box 1, rotate the cover 200 from the open position to the closed position. When the second locking part 320 contacts the locking member 360, continue rotating the cover 200. The second locking part 320 will push the locking member 360 to move in the y direction. When the cover 200 is rotated to the closed position, the locking member 360 is reset to the initial state under the action of the spring 330. The locking member 360 and the second locking part 320 lock together, and the cover 200 is locked in the closed position.

[0061] In this utility model, the box frame 100 is fixedly connected to the instrument panel 2 via the mounting plate 120. When the cover plate 200 rotates, the box frame 100 does not rotate with the cover plate 200. Therefore, there is no need to worry about interference between the box frame 100 and the instrument panel 2. The size of the box frame 100 in the x direction (i.e., the front-rear direction of the vehicle) can be increased, making full use of the space located in front of the vehicle glove box 1, expanding the space of the storage cavity 101, and improving the space utilization rate.

[0062] In addition, in the prior art, in order to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle interior, a passenger-side bottom panel is added to the bottom area of ​​the glove box to cover the internal structure of the dashboard. However, in this utility model, since the relative positions of the glove box 1 and the dashboard 2 are fixed, and the size of the glove box 1 in the x direction is increased, the glove box 1 can cover the internal structure of the dashboard 2 without the need for an additional passenger-side bottom panel. As a result, the size of the glove box 1 in the z direction (i.e., the height direction of the vehicle) can also be increased, further improving the space utilization of the glove box 1.

[0063] In this way, by increasing the space of the storage cavity 101 in two directions, the user's space requirements for the storage cavity 101 can be met, the user's acceptance of the product can be improved, and the product's competitiveness can be enhanced.

[0064] Furthermore, in this utility model, due to the increased volume of the vehicle glove box 1, the weight of the vehicle glove box 1 will also increase. The box frame 100 is fixedly connected to the front wall panel 4 through the front wall panel connecting bracket 600, increasing the mounting points between the vehicle glove box 1 and the vehicle body. On the one hand, this can improve the installation stability of the vehicle glove box 1, and on the other hand, it can reduce the load on a single mounting point, reduce the risk of damage to each mounting point, and ensure the rigidity, strength, and modal properties of the vehicle glove box 1.

[0065] Furthermore, since the volume of the front wall panel connecting bracket 600 is much smaller than that of the box frame 100, the box frame 100 and the front wall panel connecting bracket 600 can be molded separately by setting them separately. Therefore, there is no need to increase the volume of the mold for the front wall panel connecting bracket 600, which can reduce costs and improve production convenience.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-4 , Figure 8 As shown, the mounting plate 120 includes a mounting portion 121 and a boss 122. An instrument panel connecting portion 150 is formed in the mounting portion 121, and the boss 122 is connected to the side of the mounting portion 121 facing the housing body 110. The housing body 110 includes a first housing 111 and a second housing 112. The first housing 111 and the second housing 112 are connected along the z-direction and together define a storage cavity 101. The first housing 111 is connected to the front wall panel connecting bracket 600, and the first housing 111 is integrally formed with the mounting plate 120. The second housing 112 is connected in the z-direction to the side of the boss 122 facing away from the first housing 111.

[0067] Specifically, when the automotive glove box 1 is installed in a vehicle, the first box body 111 is located below the second box body 112, the front wall panel connecting bracket 600 is located below the first box body 111, the lower edge of the mounting part 121 is connected to the first box body 111, the boss 122 has the front side of the mounting part 121, the second box body 112 is connected to the upper surface of the boss 122, and the first locking part 310 is also connected to the upper surface of the boss 122. The first box body 111 and the second box body 112 can be connected by screws.

[0068] By dividing the box body 110 into two parts, the first box body 111 and the second box body 112, the processing and molding of each part is convenient, and it is easy to realize the connection between the box body 110, the mounting plate 120 and the front wall plate 4. Furthermore, since the mounting plate 120 and the first box body 111 are integrally formed, the connection strength between the mounting plate 120 and the first box body 111 can be improved.

[0069] Furthermore, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, a mounting plate 140 is provided on the side of the first housing 111 facing away from the second housing 112. The mounting plate 140 is located on the side of the first housing 111 away from the mounting plate 120 in the x-direction, and is connected to the front wall panel connecting bracket 600. Alternatively, the mounting plate 140 and the front wall panel connecting bracket 600 can be connected by bolts. In other words, the mounting plate 140 has the lower surface of the first housing 111, and is located at the front end of the first housing 111.

[0070] This shortens the distance between the first housing 111 and the front wall panel 4 in the z direction, thereby reducing the size of the front wall panel connecting bracket 600 in the z direction. The front wall panel connecting bracket 600 has higher structural strength, which is beneficial for fixing the relative position between the first housing 111 and the front wall panel 4 and improving the safety and stability of the housing frame 100.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-8As shown, the instrument panel connection 150 includes a first mounting portion 151 and a second mounting portion 152. The first mounting portion 151 protrudes from the housing body 110 in the y direction, and the second mounting portion 152 protrudes from the housing body 110 in the z direction. The mounting plate 120 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 200 on the side of the mounting plate 120 away from the second mounting portion 152 in the z direction.

[0072] The first mounting part 151 is located on the left and right sides of the box body 110, the second mounting part 152 is located on the upper side of the box body 110, and the cover plate 200 is rotatably connected to the lower edge of the mounting plate 120.

[0073] In this way, the connection area between the glove box 1 and the instrument panel 2 is large, which helps to improve the connection strength between the glove box 1 and the instrument panel 2, and the cover 200 will not interfere with the instrument panel connection part 150 during rotation, which facilitates the rotation of the cover 200.

[0074] Furthermore, the first mounting part 151 is provided with an instrument panel snap-fit ​​part 155 on the side facing the box body 110, and the edges of the first mounting part 151 and the second mounting part 152 are both provided with instrument panel connection holes 153.

[0075] Specifically, when the automotive glove box 1 is assembled into the vehicle body, the instrument panel latching part 155 is first passed through the corresponding hole on the instrument panel 2. The instrument panel latching part 155 is a commonly used latching structure in the art. For example, the instrument panel latching part 155 includes elastic latches. After the elastic latches pass through the corresponding hole on the instrument panel 2, they elastically open and abut against the front surface of the instrument panel 2 to achieve pre-positioning between the box frame 100 and the instrument panel 2. Then, the relative position between the box frame 100 and the instrument panel 2 is locked by fasteners (such as bolts or screws) passing through the instrument panel connecting hole 153 and the instrument panel 2, thereby improving installation efficiency and positioning accuracy.

[0076] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the second mounting portion 152 is also provided with a steering support arm connecting hole 154, which is located in the z-direction between the instrument panel connecting hole 153 and the open opening 102. For example, when the automotive glove box 1 is installed on a vehicle, threaded fasteners such as bolts or screws can be passed through the steering support arm connecting hole 154 and installed onto the steering support arm 3. There can be multiple steering support arm connecting holes 154, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the steering support arm 3.

[0077] In this way, increasing the number of mounting points for the automotive glove box 1 can improve the installation stability of the automotive glove box 1 on the one hand, and reduce the stress on each mounting point on the other hand, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the mounting points and ensuring the rigidity, strength and modal properties of the automotive glove box 1.

[0078] In existing technologies, besides the cover plate 200 and the glove box, some automotive glove boxes 1 also have a mounting frame connected to the steering support arm 3 to ensure the installation stability of the automotive glove box 1. In this utility model, the frame 100 of the automotive glove box 1 is directly connected to the steering support arm 3, eliminating the need for an additional mounting frame, reducing the number of parts, simplifying the structure of the automotive glove box 1, increasing the volume of the frame 100, and thus increasing the storage space of the frame 100.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cover plate 200 also includes a plate body 210, a positioning insert 230, and a positioning protrusion 231. The plate body 210 is connected to the second locking part 320. The positioning insert 230 is located on the side of the plate body 210 facing the box frame 100. The first mounting part 151 is provided with a positioning socket 1513, which is located on opposite sides of the open opening 102 in the y direction. The positioning insert 230 is movably inserted into the positioning socket 1513. The positioning protrusion 231 is located on the positioning insert 230, and the positioning protrusion 231 and the plate body 210 are located on opposite sides in the thickness direction of the first mounting part 151. When the cover plate 200 is in the open position, the positioning protrusion 231 abuts against the side of the first mounting part 151 facing away from the plate body 210.

[0080] By using the positioning plug 230 and the positioning socket 1513, the relative position between the cover 200 and the box frame 100 can be defined. By using the positioning protrusion 231, the maximum opening angle of the cover 200 can be defined, which facilitates the reuse of the automotive glove box 1.

[0081] Specifically, the first mounting part 151 includes a base plate 1511 and a guide section 1512. A positioning socket 1513 is provided on the base plate 1511. The guide section 1512 is connected to the side of the base plate 1511 facing away from the plate body 210. The guide section 1512 is provided with a guide channel 1514 communicating with the positioning socket 1513. The positioning plug 230 is inserted into the guide channel 1514. When the cover plate 200 is in the open position, the positioning protrusion 231 abuts against the side of the guide section 1512 facing away from the plate body 210.

[0082] This strengthens the limiting effect of the first mounting part 151 on the positioning plug 230, which helps to limit the relative position between the cover plate 200 and the box frame 100, and can reduce the maximum opening angle of the cover plate 200 to a certain extent, thus improving the user's comfort.

[0083] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the vehicle glove box 1 also includes a damper 400. The damper 400 includes a seat 410 and a damping rod 430. The seat 410 is provided with a groove, and the damping rod 430 is slidably inserted into the groove. The seat 410 is located on the box body 110. The damper 400 and the positioning protrusion 231 are located on the same side of the thickness direction of the first mounting part 151. The damping rod 430 is connected to the positioning plug 230.

[0084] For example, the housing body 110 is provided with a mounting base 130, and the side wall of the mounting base 130 is provided with a through hole. The damper 400 also includes a rotating part 420, which is rotatably mounted on the base 410. When the housing body 110 and the damper 400 are installed, the base 410 is first installed on the mounting base 130, then the rotating part 420 passes through the through hole, and finally the rotating part 420 is rotated so that the rotating part 420 and the base 410 clamp the side wall of the mounting base 130 to achieve positioning between the housing body 110 and the base 410.

[0085] By setting the damper 400, the rotation speed of the cover plate 200 relative to the box frame 100 can be controlled, so as to avoid the cover plate 200 rotating too fast during the opening and closing process, reduce the probability of damage at the connection between the cover plate 200 and the box frame 100, and prevent the cover plate 200 and the box frame 100 from being damaged due to excessive force.

[0086] Specifically, in order to balance aesthetics and structural strength, the panel 210 includes an outer panel 211 and an inner panel 212. The inner panel 212 is provided with reinforcing ribs, and the outer panel 211 is a smooth plane. The inner panel 212 is used to ensure structural strength, while the outer panel 211 is used to be observed by customers and improve aesthetics.

[0087] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cover plate 200 also includes a buffer pad 220, which is disposed on the side of the plate body 210 facing the box frame 100. When the cover plate 200 is in the closed position, the buffer pad 220 is located between the plate body 210 and the mounting plate 120. The buffer pad 220 is capable of elastic deformation, and the material of the buffer pad 220 may include elastic materials such as rubber or silicone.

[0088] When the cover 200 switches from the open position to the closed position, the buffer pad 220 can elastically deform to absorb the collision force between the cover 200 and the box body 110, further reducing the probability of damage to the cover 200 or the box body 110.

[0089] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including an instrument panel 2 and the aforementioned vehicle glove box 1, and a mounting plate 120 is connected to the instrument panel 2.

[0090] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle glove box 1 described above can increase the space of the storage cavity 101 and improve the space utilization rate.
