Description

A vehicle storage box locking mechanism Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a lock mechanism for automotive storage boxes. Background Technology

[0002] The locking mechanism of a car's glove compartment typically consists of a handle, locking lever, pivot bracket, spring, and other parts. Pulling the handle activates all components in a coordinated manner to open the glove compartment; releasing the handle returns all components to their original positions, closing the glove compartment. This type of glove compartment locking mechanism has many parts, is complex to assemble, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it prone to errors such as misassembly or omission. ， That would require scrapping the entire storage box, which would be costly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle storage box lock mechanism to solve the problem.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A vehicle storage box locking mechanism includes a cover, a button, a locking linkage, a rotating arm, a spring, an outer door, and a storage box. The storage box has a locking opening, and the outer door has a latch and is hinged to the storage box. The cover has a sliding opening, a sliding groove, and a cavity, and is fixed to the outer door. The rotating arm has three connecting fingers: an upper finger, a lower finger, and a middle finger. Two rotating arms are hinged to the cover within its cavity. The spring is connected between the lower fingers of the two rotating arms. The button is movably mounted on the sliding arm of the cover. The locking rod is hinged to the middle finger of the rotating arm or movably engaged with the middle finger of the rotating arm. The locking rod has a step and is located in the sliding mouth of the cover. One end of the rod is hinged to the upper finger of the rotating arm, and the other end is a locking tongue corresponding to the lock opening of the storage box and the tongue of the outer door. The locking tongue has a bevel. The outer door or cover has a limiting structure, which is limited by the step of the locking rod. When the outer door is closed, the locking tongue at its end extends out of the tongue of the outer door and into the lock opening of the storage box to lock the outer door.

[0006] This utility model of a car storage box lock mechanism is scientifically designed, has a simple and compact structure, is easy to install and use, is safe and reliable, has ideal effects, saves costs, and is durable. Attached Figure Description

[0007] The accompanying drawings, which are provided to further illustrate this application and form part of this application, illustrate exemplary embodiments of this application and are used to explain this application, but do not constitute an undue limitation of this application.

[0008] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the vehicle storage box lock mechanism of this utility model;

[0009] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the installation of the outer door panel of the vehicle storage box according to this utility model.

[0011] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described below are merely illustrative of this utility model. Key terms that need attention in these descriptions, including "locking tongue," "tongue opening," "locking opening," "sliding opening," "locking opening," "upper finger," "lower finger," and "middle finger," are only for the purpose of facilitating and simplifying the description of this utility model, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0012] Referring to Figure 1, the vehicle storage box lock mechanism of this utility model includes a cover 1, a button 2, a locking linkage 3, a rotating arm 4, a spring 5, an outer door 6, and a storage box. The storage box has a lock opening. The outer door 6 has a tongue 61 corresponding to the lock opening of the storage box and is hinged to the storage box. The cover 1 has a sliding opening, a sliding groove, and a cavity, and is fixed to the outer door 6. The rotating arm 4 has three connecting fingers: an upper finger, a lower finger, and a middle finger. The two rotating arms 4 are hinged to the cover 1 in its cavity. The spring 5 is a tension spring and is connected between the lower fingers of the two rotating arms 4. The button 2 is movable. The locking rod 3 is installed in the slide groove of the cover 1 and is hinged to the middle finger of the rotating arm 4, or is movably engaged with the middle finger of the rotating arm 4 through the provided latch. The locking rod 3 has a step and is located in the slide of the cover 1. One end of the rod is hinged to the upper finger of the rotating arm 4, and the other end is a locking tongue corresponding to the lock opening of the storage box and the tongue opening 61 of the outer door 6. The locking tongue has a bevel. The outer door 6 or the cover 1 has a limiting structure, which is limited by the step of the locking rod 3. When the outer door 6 is closed, the locking tongue at its end extends out of the tongue opening 61 of the outer door 6 and into the lock opening of the storage box to lock the outer door 6.

[0013] In use, if it is necessary to open the covered outer door 6, the button 2 can be pressed, and the rotating arm 4 will drive the locking rod 3, causing the locking rod 3 to disengage from the latch 61 of the outer door 6 and simultaneously disengage from the lock of the storage box. The outer door 6 then opens by hinged connection with the storage box. When the outer door 6 is closed, the locking rod 3 slides into the lock through the inclined surface of the latch and locks the outer door 6. A limiting structure is provided at the location of the outer door 6 or the cover 1 corresponding to the button 2, rotating arm 4, or locking rod 3 to limit the pressing action of the button 2.

[0014] The above description is only a general embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there are various other embodiments with modifications and variations, which will not be elaborated here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model are included within the protection scope claimed by this utility model.
