[0002] The glove box, an indispensable and important component, is typically located within the center console of a car, between the dashboard and the armrest. As a key interior feature, glove boxes come in various layouts, including horizontal and vertical, and their designs typically include sliding, flip-top, roller shutter, and open styles. Due to design constraints, existing vertical sliding glove boxes are generally located at the junction of the dashboard and the glove box. Furthermore, these boxes generally lack features to prevent accidental opening due to gravity, which can lead to items falling out on bumpy roads, posing a driving safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a storage structure that can effectively prevent items from falling out of the storage box due to accidental opening of the cover under bumpy road conditions, thereby improving driving safety.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A storage structure is applied to a sub-dashboard, including a storage box disposed on the sub-dashboard, a cover disposed on the storage box, and a blocking portion disposed on the storage box;

[0006] The cover is manipulated to slide along the vertical direction of the vehicle to switch between an open state and a closed state. The blocking part is located below the cover in the closed state, and the blocking part includes a drive member and a blocking member rotatably disposed on the storage box, and a first elastic member disposed between the drive member and the storage box.

[0007] The driving member is connected to the blocking member in a transmission manner, and the driving member is driven by an external force to drive the blocking member to rotate, and to make part of the blocking member block the bottom of the cover plate. When the external force is removed, the blocking member can release its obstruction of the cover plate under the action of the first elastic member.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving member is provided with a driving tooth, and the blocking member is provided with a driven tooth, the driving tooth and the driven tooth meshing and connected.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving component includes a rod, a driving wheel at one end of the rod, and a counterweight at the other end of the rod; the driving wheel is rotatably connected to the storage box, and the driving gear is located on the driving wheel.

[0010] Furthermore, the blocking member includes a transmission block rotatably mounted on the storage box, and a blocking block protruding to one side of the transmission block; the driven tooth is mounted on the transmission block.

[0011] Furthermore, a second elastic element is provided between the storage box and the cover plate, and the cover plate remains in the closed state under the action of the second elastic element.

[0012] Furthermore, at least one end of the storage box is provided with a slide rail, and the corresponding end of the cover plate is slidably inserted into the slide groove of the slide rail; a first elastic piece is provided in the slide groove, the first elastic piece has a protrusion protruding towards the cover plate, and the cover plate is provided with a groove corresponding to the protrusion. In the closed state, the protrusion is inserted into the groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the cover plate is provided with a second elastic sheet, the second elastic sheet having a protruding portion that abuts against the side wall of the slide groove.

[0014] Furthermore, a locking part is provided between the cover and the storage box, which can lock the cover in the open state; the cover can be released by pressing the locking part.

[0015] Furthermore, a damping part is provided between the storage box and the cover plate, and the damping part can apply resistance to the sliding of the cover plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] (1) The storage structure of this utility model provides a blocking part under the cover in the closed state on the storage box, and the blocking part includes a driving member and a blocking member rotatably disposed on the storage box, and a first elastic member disposed between the driving member and the storage box. The driving member and the blocking member are connected in transmission, and the driving member is driven by an external force to drive the blocking member to rotate, and a part of the blocking member is placed at the bottom of the cover. When the external force is removed, the blocking member can release its obstruction to the cover under the action of the first elastic member. With this arrangement, the blocking member can be placed at the bottom of the cover under bumpy road conditions, thereby effectively preventing the cover from being opened accidentally under bumpy road conditions and causing the items in the storage box to fall out, which is conducive to improving driving safety.

[0018] (2) The driving component is provided with an active tooth and the blocking component is provided with a driven tooth. The active tooth and the driven tooth are meshed and connected. This configuration can stably transmit the driving force of the driving component and avoid slippage. This allows the blocking component to reliably block the cover plate and further prevent the cover plate from being accidentally opened and causing the items in the storage box to fall out under bumpy road conditions.

[0019] (3) The driving component includes a rod, a driving wheel at one end of the rod, and a counterweight at the other end of the rod. The driving wheel is rotatably connected to the storage box, and the driving gear is located on the driving wheel. This configuration allows the driving component to have a long lever arm. Combined with the torque generated by the counterweight at one end of the rod, the driving component can spontaneously deflect on bumpy road sections, thereby driving the driving wheel at one end of the rod to rotate, and thus driving the blocking component to move.

[0020] (4) The blocking component includes a transmission block that is rotatably mounted on the storage box and a blocking block that protrudes to one side of the transmission block. The driven tooth is mounted on the transmission block. This arrangement makes the blocking component structure compact and easy to arrange. The driven tooth is mounted on the transmission block, which can be formed together during the manufacturing process of the transmission block, reducing subsequent assembly processes and improving production efficiency.

[0021] (5) A second elastic element is provided between the storage box and the cover. Under the action of the second elastic element, the cover is kept in the closed state. This setting allows the cover to automatically return to the closed state without external force, thereby effectively preventing items in the storage box from falling off on flat roads and ensuring driving safety.

[0022] (6) At least one end of the storage box is provided with a slide rail, and the corresponding end of the cover is slidably inserted into the slide rail groove. The protrusion on the first elastic piece in the slide rail protrudes into the groove of the cover. In the closed state, the protrusion is inserted into the groove. This setting can effectively prevent the cover from loosening or shifting due to vibration, bumps or shaking of items in the storage box during vehicle operation, ensuring that the cover is always stably closed, avoiding accidental spillage of items, and ensuring driving safety. At the same time, compared with the method of fixing the cover by friction alone, this cooperation between the protrusion and the groove is more secure and helps to improve the reliability of the storage structure. In addition, the slide rail can provide a stable guide for the sliding of the cover, so that the cover always maintains a smooth sliding trajectory during opening and closing.

[0023] (7) A second elastic sheet is provided on the cover plate. The second elastic sheet has a protruding part that abuts against the side wall of the slide groove. In this way, the protruding part of the second elastic sheet abuts against the side wall of the slide groove. During the sliding of the cover plate, the deformation of the second elastic sheet can provide continuous lateral support force, which can effectively prevent the cover plate from swaying left and right in the slide groove, ensure that the two are always tightly fitted, avoid the cover plate loosening or abnormal noise caused by gaps, make the sliding of the cover plate more stable and smooth, and improve the quality of use.

[0024] (8) A locking part is provided between the cover and the storage box. The locking part can lock the cover in the open state. The cover can be released by pressing the locking part. With this setting, the locking part can effectively prevent the cover from closing accidentally due to vibration and other factors during vehicle operation, avoid the user's fingers from being pinched by the cover, and improve the reliability and service life of the entire storage structure. In addition, by pressing to unlock the locking part, it is convenient for the user to operate with one hand, thereby improving the operating efficiency and the convenience of use.

[0025] (9) A damping part is provided between the storage box and the cover. The damping part can apply resistance to the sliding of the cover. In this way, the cover will not suddenly accelerate or decelerate due to inertia during the opening and closing process, so that the cover can move at a smooth speed, which helps to reduce impact and extend the service life of the storage structure. At the same time, the damping part can bring a smooth and uniform sliding feel, which helps to improve the quality of use.

[0026] Another objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle having the storage structure described above.

[0027] The vehicle described in this utility model, by setting the storage structure as described above on the vehicle, can effectively prevent items in the storage box from falling out due to accidental opening of the cover under bumpy road conditions, thereby improving the user experience, enhancing driving safety, and ultimately improving the overall safety of the vehicle.

[0049] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] The glove compartment, an indispensable component, is typically located within the dashboard, on the center console, between the dashboard and the armrest. Due to design constraints, existing vertical sliding glove compartments are generally situated at the junction of the dashboard and the glove compartment. Furthermore, these compartments generally lack features to prevent accidental opening due to gravity, which can lead to items falling out on bumpy roads, posing a driving safety hazard.

[0052] In view of this, this embodiment specifically proposes a storage structure for use on the sub-dashboard, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the storage box 1 is located on the sub-dashboard, the cover 2 is located on the storage box 1, and the blocking part 3 is located on the storage box 1. The cover 2 is slidable along the vertical direction of the vehicle to switch between an open state and a closed state. The blocking part 3 is located below the cover 2 in the closed state, and the blocking part 3 includes a drive member 31 and a blocking member 32 rotatably located on the storage box 1, and a first elastic member 33 located between the drive member 31 and the storage box 1.

[0053] The driving component 31 is connected to the blocking component 32 via a transmission. Driven by an external force, the driving component 31 can rotate the blocking component 32, causing part of the blocking component 32 to be positioned at the bottom of the cover plate 2. When the external force is removed, the blocking component 32 can release its obstruction of the cover plate 2 under the action of the first elastic component 33. This design effectively prevents items in the storage box 1 from falling out due to accidental opening of the cover plate 2 on bumpy roads, thus improving driving safety.

[0054] Furthermore, the first elastic element 33 in this embodiment can be a torsion spring, which is well known to those skilled in the art. It has a long fatigue life and can work stably for a long time. At the same time, the production cost and manufacturing process of torsion springs are relatively mature, which helps to control the cost of storage structures, thereby reducing the overall vehicle cost and enhancing the market competitiveness of the vehicle.

[0055] At the same time, such as Figure 3 As shown, the storage box 1 is also equipped with multiple buffer pins 14 corresponding to the open and closed states of the cover 2. The buffer pins 14 are used to reduce noise and cushion the cover 2, thereby reducing the noise generated when the cover 2 collides with the storage box 1, which helps to improve the overall quietness of the vehicle. The buffering effect of the buffer pins 14 can also effectively prevent the cover 2 from colliding due to vibration when the vehicle is driving on bumpy roads, thus preventing damage to the cover 2 and improving the durability of the storage structure. In this embodiment, the buffer pins 14 can be made of EPDM (Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Monomer) or other rubber materials with a long service life. This design helps to further reduce the maintenance frequency of the storage structure and improve its durability.

[0056] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cover 2 in this embodiment comprises an outer cover 21, a cover knob 22, and an inner cover 23. The cover knob 22 is fixed to the outer cover 21 by snap-fitting and welding, while the outer cover 21 and the inner cover 23 are fixed together by multiple countersunk self-tapping screws. This design reduces manufacturing difficulty and helps control production costs. Furthermore, manufacturing the outer cover 21 separately facilitates quality inspection and control, ensuring surface quality and improving user experience and satisfaction, thereby enhancing brand image. The separately manufactured outer cover 21 also better meets the personalized needs of different users, improving the product's market competitiveness.

[0057] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that any related structures not mentioned in this embodiment can be referred to in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, such as Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the driving component 31 is provided with a driving tooth 3121, and the blocking component 32 is provided with a driven tooth 3211. The driving tooth 3121 and the driven tooth 3211 are meshed together. This arrangement can stably transmit the driving force of the driving component 31, avoid slippage, and enable the blocking component 32 to reliably block the cover plate 2. At the same time, the gear transmission can also easily adjust the transmission ratio to optimize the motion relationship between the driving component 31 and the blocking component 32, meeting actual usage requirements and spatial layout.

[0059] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the driving component 31 includes a rod 311, a driving wheel 312 located at one end of the rod 311, and a counterweight 313 located at the other end of the rod 311. The driving wheel 312 is rotatably connected to the storage box 1, and the driving gear 3121 is located on the driving wheel 312. This configuration allows the driving component 31 to have a long lever arm. Combined with the torque generated by the counterweight 313 located at one end of the rod 311, the driving component 31 can spontaneously deflect on bumpy road sections, thereby driving the driving wheel 312 located at one end of the rod 311 to rotate, and thus driving the blocking component 32 to move.

[0060] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the blocking member 32 includes a transmission block 321 rotatably mounted on the storage box 1, and a blocking block 322 protruding to one side of the transmission block 321. A driven tooth 3211 is disposed on the transmission block 321. This arrangement makes the blocking member 32 compact and easy to implement. The driven tooth 3211 is disposed on the transmission block 321, which can be formed during the manufacturing process of the transmission block 321, reducing subsequent assembly steps and improving production efficiency.

[0061] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a second elastic element 11 is provided between the storage box 1 and the cover 2. Under the action of the second elastic element 11, the cover 2 remains in the closed state. This design allows the cover 2 to automatically return to the closed state without external force, making it convenient for users to use. It also effectively ensures that the cover 2 remains closed when the vehicle is driving on bumpy roads, thereby effectively preventing items in the storage box 1 from falling out and ensuring driving safety.

[0062] In specific implementation, the second elastic element 11 in this embodiment can be a coil spring, which is well known to those skilled in the art. While ensuring a simple and reliable structure, it also has the advantages of low cost and easy production. Its related structure can refer to the existing coil spring structure, and will not be described in detail here.

[0063] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 11 As shown, at least one end of the storage box 1 is provided with a slide rail 12, and the corresponding end of the cover plate 2 is slidably inserted into the slide groove 121 of the slide rail 12. The slide groove 121 is provided with a first elastic piece 1211, the first elastic piece 1211 has a protrusion 12111 protruding towards the cover plate 2, and the cover plate 2 is provided with a groove 231 corresponding to the protrusion 12111. In the closed state, the protrusion 12111 is inserted into the groove 231.

[0064] This design effectively prevents the cover 2 from loosening or shifting due to vibrations, bumps, or movement of items inside the storage box 1 during vehicle operation, ensuring that the cover 2 remains stably closed at all times, preventing items from accidentally scattering and ensuring driving safety. Furthermore, compared to relying solely on friction to fix the cover 2, the fit between the protrusion 12111 and the groove 231 is more robust, improving the reliability of the storage structure under complex operating conditions. The slide rail 12 provides stable guidance for the sliding of the cover 2, ensuring that the cover 2 maintains a smooth sliding trajectory during opening and closing.

[0065] In practical implementation, when it is necessary to open the cover plate 2, simply slide the cover plate 2. The first elastic piece 1211 deforms under force, causing the protrusion 12111 to disengage from the groove 231. The cover plate 2 can then slide smoothly along the guide rail 12 without any additional unlocking action. When it is necessary to close the cover plate 2, the second elastic element 11 will drive the cover plate 2 upward along the guide rail 12. In the closed state, the protrusion 12111 inserts into the groove 231, thereby limiting the cover plate 2. When the protrusion 12111 inserts into the groove 231, it will also make a "click" sound, which can indicate to the user that the cover plate 2 has been locked in place. This allows the user to not need to look down to check whether the cover plate 2 is closed, and their eyes do not need to leave the direction of vehicle travel, which helps to improve driving safety and thus improves the overall vehicle safety.

[0066] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, such as Figure 11 As shown, the cover plate 2 is provided with a second elastic piece 232, which has a protruding portion 2321 that abuts against the side wall of the slide groove 121. This arrangement, with the protruding portion 2321 of the second elastic piece 232 abutting against the side wall of the slide groove 121, provides continuous lateral support during the sliding of the cover plate 2, effectively preventing the cover plate 2 from wobbling left and right in the slide groove 121. This ensures a tight fit between the two, avoiding loosening or abnormal noise caused by gaps, making the sliding of the cover plate 2 more stable and smooth, and improving the user experience.

[0067] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a locking part 4 is provided between the cover 2 and the storage box 1. The locking part 4 can lock the cover 2 in the open state, and pressing the cover 2 can release the locking part 4. This design effectively prevents the cover 2 from accidentally closing due to vibrations or other factors during vehicle operation, avoiding injury to the user's fingers from being pinched by the cover 2. Furthermore, fixing the cover 2 in the open state by the locking part 4 reduces wear caused by frequent small-amplitude shaking between the cover 2 and the storage box 1, improving the reliability and service life of the entire storage structure. Pressing to unlock the locking part 4 allows for easy one-handed operation, thus improving operational efficiency.

[0068] In this embodiment, the locking part 4 can be a labyrinth lock, which specifically includes a needle 41 on the cover plate 2 and a labyrinth cavity 42 on the storage box 1. When the cover plate 2 moves downward, the needle 41 moves along a predetermined tortuous path under the guidance of the labyrinth cavity 42 and finally reaches the locking position to complete the locking action. When it is necessary to close the storage box 1, by pressing the cover plate 2, the needle 41 moves in the opposite direction along the path of the labyrinth cavity 42, overcomes the obstruction of the labyrinth cavity 42, and finally makes the needle 41 disengage from the locking position to complete the unlocking action. At this time, the second elastic member 11 will automatically pull the cover plate 2 back to the closed state.

[0069] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, the following continues... Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a damping part is provided between the storage box 1 and the cover 2, which can apply resistance to the sliding of the cover 2. The advantage of this design is that the cover 2 will not suddenly accelerate or decelerate due to inertia during the opening and closing process, so that the cover 2 can move at a smooth speed, which helps to reduce impact and extend the service life of the storage structure. The damping part can also bring a smooth and uniform sliding feel, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0070] Furthermore, in specific implementation, the damping part in this embodiment includes a rack 51 on the cover plate 2 and a gear damper 52 on the storage box 1. This arrangement can impede the small relative displacement of the cover plate 2, effectively reducing abnormal noise generated during driving. Specifically, the gear damper 52 can be a silicone oil gear damper, which does not require frequent addition or replacement of silicone oil, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the damping part, thus helping to reduce costs and improve product competitiveness. It should be noted that the damping part in this embodiment can also be other existing structures such as granular dampers, as long as the damping meets the requirements of enabling the cover plate 2 to move at a smooth speed and impeding small relative displacement.

[0071] In addition, the combined use of the blocking part 3 and the damping part in this embodiment can effectively prevent the second elastic member 11 from being repeatedly stretched when the vehicle is driving on bumpy roads, thereby improving the service life of the second elastic member 11 and thus improving the overall service life of the storage box 1.

[0072] In this embodiment, the storage structure, specifically, when the vehicle is traveling on a bumpy road, the cover 2 of the closed storage box 1 will tend to move up and down due to inertia. When the cover 2 tends to move downward, the drive member 31 on the storage box 1 will rotate downward under the action of the counterweight 313 at one end of the rod 311. At this time, the drive wheel 312 at the other end of the drive member 31 will drive the driven tooth 3211 meshing with it through the active tooth 3121, thereby driving the blocking member 32 to rotate, causing the blocking block 322 on the blocking member 32 to extend out of the storage box 1 and block the bottom of the cover 2, thereby preventing the cover 2 from moving downward and preventing the items in the storage box 1 from falling out due to accidental opening of the cover 2, thus improving driving safety.

[0073] When the inertia is eliminated, the first elastic member 33 located between the drive member 31 and the storage box 1 will drive the drive member 31 to rotate upward, thereby driving the blocking block 322 located on the blocking member 32 to reset, thereby releasing the obstruction of the cover plate 2, so that the cover plate 2 can be controlled to slide along the vertical direction of the whole vehicle to switch between the open state and the closed state.

[0074] It should be noted that when the cover 2 of the storage box 1, which is in the closed state, tends to move upward due to inertia, the cover 2 will prevent the storage box 1 from opening under its own weight. Simultaneously, in severely bumpy road conditions, the cover 2 will also abut against the top wall of the slide 121, thus preventing the cover 2 from moving. Therefore, no additional blocking structure is needed. When the cover 2 is in the open state, the locking part 4 will keep the cover 2 in the open position, thus preventing it from being affected by bumps and effectively avoiding situations where the cover 2 accidentally closes, resulting in finger injuries or noise that could affect driving safety.

[0075] The storage structure of this embodiment includes a storage box 1 on the sub-dashboard, a cover 2 on the storage box 1, and a blocking part 3 on the storage box 1. The cover 2 can be slidable along the vertical direction of the vehicle to switch between an open and closed state. The blocking part 3 is located below the cover 2 in the closed state, and the blocking part 3 includes a drive member 31 and a blocking member 32 rotatably mounted on the storage box 1, and a first elastic member 33 located between the drive member 31 and the storage box 1. The drive member 31 is tractively connected to the blocking member 32, and the drive member 31 is driven by an external force to rotate the blocking member 32, causing part of the blocking member 32 to be positioned at the bottom of the cover 2. When the external force is removed, the blocking member 32 can release its obstruction of the cover 2 under the action of the first elastic member 33, thereby effectively preventing the cover 2 from being accidentally opened under bumpy road conditions, which would cause items in the storage box 1 to fall out, thus improving driving safety.

[0076] Example 2

[0077] This embodiment relates to a vehicle in which a storage structure as described in Embodiment 1 is provided. The storage structure in this embodiment is typically located at the junction of the dashboard and the sub-dashboard.

[0078] The vehicle in this embodiment, by incorporating the storage structure described in Embodiment 1, effectively prevents items in the storage box 1 from scattering due to vibration or inertia during vehicle operation, especially during bumps or sudden braking. This prevents items from rolling inside the vehicle and causing safety hazards, such as getting stuck under the brake pedal and affecting driving safety, thus improving the overall safety of the vehicle. Furthermore, the design of the locking part 4 and the second elastic member 11 allows for convenient one-handed operation, facilitating quick access to items while the vehicle is in motion. This allows the user to keep their eyes on the road ahead, further enhancing driving safety.

[0079] In addition, the slide 121 and the corresponding second elastic plate 232, damping part, etc., can effectively ensure the stability of the cover plate 2 and the storage box 1 itself. Even if the vehicle is driving under complex road conditions, the storage box 1 will not produce abnormal noise or damage due to vibration or shaking, effectively ensuring the quietness of the vehicle, thereby improving passenger satisfaction and goodwill towards the vehicle and enhancing the vehicle's competitiveness in the market.

[0080] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
