Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicle technology, specifically relating to a glove box and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As an important storage space in the front row of a car, the glove box generally includes an inner compartment, a frame supporting the inner compartment, and a damper. The damper is connected between the inner compartment and the frame to provide damping force during the opening or closing of the inner compartment relative to the frame, preventing the glove box from falling too quickly when opened.

[0003] In existing technology, dampers are typically connected to the side of the glove box, and are usually exposed during the opening or closing of the glove box. This not only affects the overall appearance of the glove box, but also reduces the safety of the damper and affects the overall service life of the glove box. Utility Model Content

[0014] Optionally, the connecting portion includes a first connecting shaft and a shaft cap, the shaft cap being connected to the end of the first connecting shaft, and the outer diameter of the shaft cap being larger than the outer diameter of the first connecting shaft; wherein,

[0015] The diameter of the shaft cap is less than or equal to the diameter of the first connecting hole to adapt to the first connecting hole, so that the shaft cap can enter or disengage from the first connecting hole. The diameter of the shaft cap is greater than or equal to the diameter of the second connecting hole. The diameter of the first connecting shaft is less than or equal to the diameter of the second connecting hole. When the first connecting shaft is located in the second connecting hole, the first connecting shaft abuts against the hole wall of the second connecting hole to achieve a limiting position.

[0016] Optionally, a limit groove is provided on the frame;

[0017] The inner compartment also includes an outer trim panel and two side panels. The outer trim panel and the back panel are at least partially spaced apart. The side panels are connected between the outer trim panel and the back panel. At least one of the side panels is provided with a limiting block. The limiting block passes through the limiting groove and can move within the limiting groove to limit the opening angle of the inner compartment.

[0018] The limiting block is connected to the side plate.

[0019] Optionally, the side plate is provided with a mounting hole, and the side plate is also provided with a limiting groove communicating with the mounting hole;

[0020] The limiting block is provided with a second connecting shaft, and the second connecting shaft is provided with a limiting protrusion.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] This application provides a glove box that can be used in a vehicle. The vehicle can be a passenger car, primarily including sedans, multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), sport utility vehicles (SUVs), off-road vehicles, and pickup trucks. The vehicle can also be a truck, van, etc. It can be understood that as long as there is a mounting position on the vehicle's dashboard, the glove box can be installed. This application does not specifically limit the type of vehicle to which the glove box is applied.

[0040] Specifically, the glove box provided by this utility model can be installed on the dashboard in the driver's cab of the above-mentioned vehicle models. For example, there are usually mounting holes below the dashboard in the passenger seat, so that the glove box can be embedded in the mounting holes. In this way, the dashboard remains flat when the box is closed, and the box can be flipped open to place items inside.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the glove box described in this application embodiment may specifically include: a frame 10 for mounting on a vehicle; an inner compartment 11 rotatably connected to the frame 10 to open or close relative to the frame 10, the inner compartment 11 having a back plate 112 at one end along the closing direction; and a damper 12 having a fixed end and a free end disposed opposite to each other, the fixed end being connected to the frame 10, and the free end being detachably connected to the back plate 112.

[0042] In this embodiment, the free end of the damper 12 is connected to the back plate 112 of the inner container 11. Thus, during the opening and closing of the damper 12 relative to the frame 10 along with the inner container 11, the damper 12 can be hidden behind the inner container 11. This avoids the damper 12 being exposed and affecting the overall appearance of the glove box, and also improves the safety of using the damper 12, thereby extending the overall service life of the glove box.

[0043] Specifically, the frame 10 provides support, serving as a foundation for the installation and connection of the inner bed 11 and the damper 12. The frame 10 can be installed on the vehicle's dashboard using screws, snap-fit ​​connections, or other methods, seamlessly integrating with the dashboard to avoid any abrupt appearance. One side of the frame 10 has an opening that faces the user (e.g., the passenger side), allowing the inner bed 11 and damper 12 to be installed into the frame 10 through this opening.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the inner compartment 11 has a storage space for placing items. The inner compartment 11 also includes an outer panel 111, with at least a partial gap between the outer panel 111 and the back panel 112. The outer panel 111 is located on the side of the inner compartment 11 that is always exposed, and the back panel 112 can be located on the back of the inner compartment 11. Side panels 113 are also provided between the outer panel 111 and the back panel 112. The outer panel 111, the back panel 112, and the side panels 113 on both sides enclose the storage space for placing items. The bottom of the inner compartment 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the frame 10. For example, the bottom of the inner compartment 11 can be connected to the bottom of the frame 10 via a pivot, or the bottom of the inner compartment 11 can be connected to the bottom via other rotating structures, as long as the rotating structure allows the inner compartment 11 to rotate a certain angle around the rotating connection point at the bottom to open or close the opening of the frame 10. No specific limitations are imposed in this embodiment.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the inner container 11 is rotated to the closed position relative to the frame 10, the inner container 11 can be located inside the frame 10. At this time, the items inside the inner container 11 can be reliably stored without falling out. Figure 3 As shown, when the inner compartment 11 is rotated to the position where it is open relative to the frame 10, the opening of the inner compartment 11 faces upwards, making it easier to put in and take out the items inside.

[0046] In practical applications, the damper 12 can be used to limit the speed at which the inner container 11 rotates and opens. The damper 12 is connected to the inner container 11 so that the inner container 11 can open slowly.

[0047] In some optional embodiments of this application, the damper 12 can be a damping rod, which can be a telescopic damper. The telescopic damper may include a fixed end and a free end disposed opposite to each other. The fixed end can be rotatably connected to the frame 10, the dashboard, or other location in the vehicle. The free end can be detachably connected to the inner hopper 11. Thus, when the inner hopper 11 needs to be removed, the connection between the free end of the damper 12 and the inner hopper 11 can be released, and the inner hopper 11 can be removed. When the inner hopper 11 needs to be installed onto the frame 10, the free end of the damper 12 can be installed onto the inner hopper 11. That is, the detachable connection between the free end of the damper 12 and the inner hopper 11 allows for the connection or disconnection of the damper 12 and the inner hopper 11.

[0048] In this embodiment, since the free end of the damper 12 is connected to the back of the inner hopper 11, the damper 12 can remain unexposed during the opening or closing process of the inner hopper 11. This avoids the damper 12 being exposed and affecting the overall appearance of the glove box, and also improves the safety of using the damper 12, thereby extending the overall service life of the glove box.

[0049] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the damper 12 can also be a rope-type damper. The rope-type damper can be fixed to the frame 10, the dashboard, or other location in the vehicle, and connected directly to the inner hopper 11 via a rope, or the rope can be attached to the inner hopper 11 via a hook-like attachment. There are various ways to implement the damper 12, and the specific form of the damper 12 is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a mounting base 114 is provided on one side of the back plate 112 along the closing direction, and the free end of the damper 12 is detachably connected to the mounting base 114. In practical applications, by providing the mounting base 114 on the back plate 112 and then detachably connecting the free end of the damper 12 to the mounting base 114, the operation of directly connecting the free end of the damper 12 to the back plate 112 can be avoided. This not only simplifies the structure of the back plate 112 but also facilitates a flexible layout of the connection position of the damper 12.

[0051] For example, the mounting base 114 can be connected to the back plate 112 by means of welding, snap-fit, fastener connection, etc. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the connection method of the mounting base 114 on the back plate 112.

[0052] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting base 114 is provided with a connection hole 115. (As indicated...) Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the free end of the damper 12 is provided with a connecting portion 121, which is detachably connected to the connecting hole 115. In specific applications, when it is necessary to install the inner hopper 11 onto the frame 10, the connecting portion 121 on the damper 12 can be inserted into the connecting hole 115. When it is necessary to remove the inner hopper 11 from the frame 10, the connecting portion 121 on the damper 12 can be removed from the connecting hole 115. By providing the connecting portion 121 on the damper 12 and detachably connecting the connecting portion 121 to the connecting hole 115 of the mounting base 114, the installation and removal of the damper 12 and the inner hopper 11 become very convenient.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the connecting hole 115 may specifically include a first connecting hole 1151 and a second connecting hole 1152 that are interconnected. The diameter of the first connecting hole 1151 is larger than the diameter of the second connecting hole 1152. The connecting part 121 can enter the first connecting hole 1151 and enter the second connecting hole 1152 from the first connecting hole 1151. When the connecting part 121 is located in the second connecting hole 1152, the connecting part 121 abuts against the hole wall of the second connecting hole 1152 to achieve a limiting position.

[0054] In practical applications, since the first connecting hole 1151 and the second connecting hole 1152 are connected, the connecting part 121 can be switched between the first connecting hole 1151 and the second connecting hole 1152. Because the diameter of the first connecting hole 1151 is larger, the connecting part 121 can be inserted into or detached from the first connecting hole 1151. When it is necessary to install the damper 12 onto the mounting base 114, the connecting part 121 can be inserted into the first connecting hole 1151, and then pushed from the first connecting hole 1151 into the second connecting hole 1152, so that the hole walls of the connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 121 abut against each other to achieve a limiting position, thereby installing the damper 12 onto the mounting base 114.

[0055] Conversely, when it is necessary to remove the damper 12 from the mounting base 114, the connecting part 121 can be pushed from the second connecting hole 1152 to the first connecting hole 1151, and the connecting part 121 can be removed from the first connecting hole 1151 to detach the damper 12 from the mounting base 114. In practical applications, this arrangement facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the damper 12 from the mounting base 114, thereby improving the efficiency of assembly and disassembly between the inner hopper 11 and the damper 12.

[0056] Optionally, the maximum outer diameter of the connecting part 121 is smaller than the diameter of the first connecting hole 1151, and the maximum outer diameter of the connecting part 121 is larger than the diameter of the second connecting hole 1152, so that the connecting part 121 can be removed from the first connecting hole 1151 or abut against the second connecting hole 1152 and form a limit, thereby preventing the damper 12 from detaching from the inner bucket 11.

[0057] It should be explained that the maximum outer diameter of the connecting part 121 can be understood as the maximum width, maximum length, or maximum diameter of the connecting part 121. For example, when the connecting part 121 is circular, its maximum outer diameter is its diameter. When the connecting part 121 is rectangular, its maximum outer diameter is its length or width.

[0058] In some optional embodiments of this application, the connecting portion 121 may specifically include a first connecting shaft and a cap. The cap is connected to the end of the first connecting shaft, and the outer diameter of the cap is larger than the outer diameter of the first connecting shaft. This can be understood as the outer diameter of the cap being the maximum size of the connecting portion 121, while the outer diameter of the first connecting shaft below the cap is smaller than the outer diameter of the cap. The outer diameter of the cap is less than or equal to the diameter of the first connecting hole 1151, allowing the cap to enter or exit the first connecting hole 1151. The diameter of the cap is greater than or equal to the diameter of the second connecting hole 1152, and the diameter of the first connecting shaft is less than or equal to the diameter of the second connecting hole 1152. When the first connecting shaft is located in the second connecting hole 1152, the first connecting shaft abuts against the wall of the second connecting hole 1152 to achieve a limiting position.

[0059] It should be noted that the outer diameter of the shaft cap is substantially equal to the diameter of the first connecting hole 1151, or the outer diameter of the shaft cap is slightly smaller than the diameter of the first connecting hole 1151. This facilitates the shaft cap's entry and exit from the first connecting hole 1151. Similarly, the outer diameter of the first connecting shaft is substantially equal to the diameter of the second connecting hole 1152, or the outer diameter of the first connecting shaft is slightly smaller than the diameter of the second connecting hole 1152. This facilitates the first connecting shaft's entry and exit from the second connecting hole 1152 and its contact with the hole wall of the second connecting hole 1152 for positioning.

[0060] Specifically, after the larger-diameter shaft cap enters the first connecting hole 1151, it can pass through the first connecting hole 1151 and abut against the outer surface of the mounting base 114. At this time, only the first connecting shaft is located in the first connecting hole 1151. Then, the first connecting shaft is pushed from the first connecting hole 1151 to the second connecting hole 1152 and abuts against the wall of the second connecting hole 1152. In this way, the movement of the first connecting shaft in the second connecting hole 1152 can be limited, and the limiting effect of the shaft cap can also prevent the connecting part 121 from coming out of the connecting hole 115.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, a limiting groove 101 is provided on the frame 10; the inner compartment 11 may also include two side plates 113, which are connected between the outer trim panel 111 and the back panel 112. At least one side plate 113 is provided with a limiting block 116, which passes through the limiting groove 101 and can move within the limiting groove 101 to limit the opening angle of the inner compartment 11 and prevent the items inside from falling out when the inner compartment 11 is opened. The limiting block 116 is installed on the side wall of the inner compartment 11, and the limiting groove 101 on the frame 10 is slidably engaged.

[0062] like Figure 3As shown, the limiting block 116 on the inner container 11 can cooperate with the limiting groove 101 on the frame 10, and the limiting groove 101 has at least a start position and an end position. When the inner container 11 is closed relative to the frame 10, the limiting block 116 slides to the start position in the limiting groove 101. When the inner container 11 is open relative to the frame 10, the limiting block 116 slides to the end position in the limiting groove 101, thereby limiting the rotational opening of the inner container 11.

[0063] In some optional embodiments of this application, the limiting block 116 is detachably connected to the side plate 113. Thus, when it is necessary to remove the inner container 11 from the frame 10, the limiting block 116 can be removed from the side plate 113 of the inner container 11 first. At this time, since the limiting effect between the limiting block 116 and the limiting groove 101 is lost, the inner container 11 can be opened to... Figure 4 The maximum angle shown. At this time, since the opening angle of the inner container 11 is large, the connection between the inner container 11 and the damper 12 can be easily disconnected, as well as the connection between the inner container 11 and the frame 10 can be easily disconnected, so as to further improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the inner container 11.

[0064] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the limiting block 116 can be disengaged from the limiting groove 101 by the deformation of the side plate 113, or the limiting block 116 can be moved into the limiting groove 101 by the deformation of the side plate 113, thereby installing the limiting block 116 into the limiting groove 101. In this way, the disassembly and installation of the limiting block 116 on the side plate 113 can be avoided, further improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the inner hopper 11.

[0065] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the side plate 113 is provided with a mounting hole 1131, and the side plate 113 is also provided with a limiting groove 1132 communicating with the mounting hole 1131. Figure 6 As shown, a second connecting shaft 1161 is provided on the limiting block 116, and a limiting protrusion 1162 is provided on the second connecting shaft 1161. The shape of the limiting protrusion 1162 is adapted to the shape of the limiting groove 1132. When the limiting protrusion 1162 and the limiting groove 1132 are opposite, the second connecting shaft 1161 can be inserted into the mounting hole 1131. When the second connecting shaft 1161 is rotated to the point where the limiting protrusion 1162 and the limiting groove 1132 are misaligned, the limiting protrusion 1162 abuts against the side plate 113 to fix the limiting block 116 in the mounting hole 1131.

[0066] Specifically, the second connecting shaft 1161 can be cylindrical, with a limiting protrusion 1162 connected to one end of the second connecting shaft 1161. The second connecting shaft 1161 mates with the mounting hole 1131 on the side plate 113 of the inner hopper 11. The second connecting shaft 1161 and the mounting hole 1131 can have a tight fit, a threaded fit, or a loose fit, all of which allow the second connecting shaft 1161 to be inserted into the mounting hole 1131. It should be noted that if the second connecting shaft 1161 and the mounting hole 1131 have a loose fit, a limiting structure is also required to prevent the second connecting shaft 1161 from freely falling out of the mounting hole 1131.

[0067] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 1162 can also be used to limit the insertion depth. The limiting protrusion 1162 can be round-headed, and its structural dimensions can be larger than the outer dimensions of the second connecting shaft 1161. Thus, when the second connecting shaft 1161 is inserted into the mounting hole 1131 from the inside of the inner hopper 11, the limiting protrusion 1162 abuts against the inner surface of the side plate 113 of the inner hopper 11, thereby limiting the insertion depth of the second connecting shaft 1161. Of course, the limiting protrusion 1162 can also be of other structural shapes, as long as it can prevent the second connecting shaft 1161 from continuing to be inserted after the limiting protrusion 1162 is in place. This embodiment does not impose too many restrictions.

[0068] For example, mounting holes 1131 are provided through the opposite side plates 113 of the inner compartment 11 along the width direction of the vehicle. A limiting block 116 is inserted into each mounting hole 1131 from the inside of the inner compartment 11 outward, thereby ensuring the balance of the limiting force. The specific position and number of mounting holes 1131 and limiting blocks 116 are not limited in this embodiment.

[0069] In practical applications, when it is necessary to remove the inner container 11 from the frame 10, the limiting block 116 can be removed from the inner container 11 first. Then, the connection between the inner container 11 and the damper 12 is released, and the connection between the inner container 11 and the frame 10 is also released, until all components of the glove box are assembled. Figure 8 The state shown. Finally, remove the inner container 11 from the frame 10. The disassembly and assembly of the inner container 11 is relatively efficient.

[0070] In summary, the glove box described in the embodiments of this application has at least the following advantages:

[0071] In this embodiment, the free end of the damper is connected to the back panel of the inner hopper. Thus, during the opening or closing of the damper relative to the frame along with the inner hopper, the damper can be hidden behind the inner hopper, preventing it from being exposed and affecting the overall appearance of the glove box, improving the safety of the damper in use, and thereby extending the overall service life of the glove box.

[0072] This utility model embodiment also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body, an instrument panel inside the vehicle body, and a glove box provided in any of the above embodiments installed on the instrument panel.

[0073] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the specific structure of the glove box can be the same as that of the glove box described in any of the above embodiments, and its beneficial effects are similar, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0074] It is understood that the instrument panel has mounting holes for mounting the glove box, and a connecting part for fixing the frame is provided at the mounting holes, so that the frame can be mounted on the mounting holes on the instrument panel through the connecting part.

[0075] The vehicle described in this application embodiment features a glove box. The free end of the glove box's damper is connected to the back panel of the inner hopper. Thus, during the opening and closing of the damper relative to the frame along with the inner hopper, the damper can be concealed behind the inner hopper. This avoids the damper being exposed and affecting the overall appearance of the glove box, improves the safety of the damper during use, and consequently extends the overall service life of the glove box.
