Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to vehicles, specifically providing a storage box for a vehicle and the vehicle itself. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing electric vehicles adopt a layout where the drive unit is located at the bottom of the vehicle, thus reserving space at the front for a front trunk to meet users' storage needs. This front trunk typically includes a body and a matching lid, which can be opened or closed relative to the body to access items. During use, to enhance the sealing performance when the lid is closed and prevent external dust, moisture, or rainwater from seeping into the trunk and affecting the dryness and cleanliness of stored items, existing technologies often include a sealing strip along the edge of the body. This strip engages with the lid when closed, forming an effective sealing structure. (See details...) Figure 1 .

[0003] However, while placing the sealing strip at the edge of the suitcase achieves basic sealing, it introduces new technical problems. First, the sealing strip raises the edge of the suitcase, making it difficult for users to smoothly place or retrieve luggage, especially larger suitcases. Second, because the sealing strip is exposed at the top edge of the suitcase, users are prone to contact with it during luggage handling, potentially causing localized scratches or wear, affecting its sealing performance, and also allowing dust accumulated on the sealing strip to transfer to the luggage surface, reducing the overall user experience. Third, some users may need to sit on the edge of the front trunk; a sealing strip at the edge of the suitcase can obstruct this seating, and dirt on the sealing strip can easily stain clothing. Furthermore, from an aesthetic perspective, this type of sealing structure often affects the overall visual appeal of the front trunk.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field for a vehicle storage box and a vehicle to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, to solve the problems that the existing trunk has high edges, making it inconvenient to take out and put in luggage and causing wear on the sealing strip, and the sealing strip also prevents users from sitting on the edge of the front trunk, as well as the poor appearance of the front trunk.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a storage box for a vehicle, the storage box including a box body, a box lid and a sealing strip, the box body including a sealing part, the sealing strip being disposed on the box lid, and when the box lid closes the box body, the sealing strip abutting against the sealing part to close the gap between the box lid and the box body.

[0007] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned storage box, a mounting bracket is provided on the lower surface of the box lid, and the sealing strip is provided at the mounting bracket.

[0008] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned storage box, the sealing strip includes a connecting part, which is snap-fitted or adhesively connected to the mounting bracket.

[0009] In a specific embodiment of the storage box described above, one of the connecting part and the mounting bracket is provided with a through hole, and the other is provided with a buckle. The buckle extends into the through hole so that the sealing strip is connected to the mounting bracket.

[0010] In a specific embodiment of the storage box described above, the connecting part is disposed on the back side of the sealing strip, and the front side of the sealing strip is used to abut against the sealing part.

[0011] In a specific embodiment of the storage box described above, the box body further includes a drainage groove disposed inside the sealing part, the drainage groove being used to collect liquid entering from the gap between the box cover and the box body.

[0012] In a specific embodiment of the above-described storage box, the sealing portion is higher than the bottom of the drainage channel; and / or

[0013] The top of the side wall of the drainage groove, away from the seal, is higher than the seal.

[0014] In a specific embodiment of the above storage box, a drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the drainage trough, and the drainage hole connects the inside of the drainage trough and the outside of the box body.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a vehicle that includes the aforementioned storage compartment.

[0016] In the specific embodiment of the above-described vehicle, the storage box is configured as the front trunk of the vehicle, and the box cover is the front trunk cover of the vehicle; and / or

[0017] The storage box is configured as the trunk of the vehicle, and the box cover is the trunk cover of the vehicle.

[0018] With the above technical solution, the sealing strip of this utility model is set on the lid and can move synchronously with the opening of the lid. This avoids the structural protrusion problem caused by the sealing strip being set on the edge of the suitcase in the traditional structure, which helps to reduce the height of the suitcase edge and improve the convenience for users when loading and unloading luggage. This structure also prevents users from contacting the sealing strip when handling luggage, reducing wear caused by scratches, and preventing dust adhering to the surface of the sealing strip from contaminating luggage, further improving cleanliness and overall aesthetics. It also avoids obstructing users from sitting on the edge of the front trunk. When the lid is closed, the sealing strip can make sealing contact with the sealing part set on the suitcase body, effectively sealing the gap between the suitcase body and the lid, enhancing the sealing effect.

[0019] Furthermore, the sealing strip is connected to the cover via a connecting part. The connecting part is located on the outside of the sealing strip. The connecting part is connected to the cover via a through hole or a snap-fit, which simplifies the overall structural layout of the sealing strip while ensuring installation security. Compared to existing technologies, this structural design simplifies the internal structure of the sealing strip, eliminating the need for an internal skeleton, resulting in a lighter and smaller overall weight and volume. This helps reduce material usage and manufacturing costs, while also contributing positively to the lightweight design of the entire vehicle, further improving the vehicle's energy efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the drainage groove located inside the sealing part can collect and guide the liquid that seeps into the gap, preventing external rainwater and other liquids from entering the interior of the box, thereby further improving the waterproof performance and reliability of the front trunk.

[0021] Furthermore, the bottom of the drain channel is lower than the sealing part, while the top of the side wall of the drain channel away from the sealing part is higher than the sealing part. This arrangement creates an effective liquid barrier channel when the lid is closed, guiding liquid that has seeped between the sealing strip and the sealing part into the drain channel, preventing liquid from crossing the sealing part and entering the interior of the trunk, thus significantly improving the waterproof performance and reliability of the front trunk.

[0022] Furthermore, a drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the drainage trough, which connects the inside of the drainage trough to the outside of the tank. The drainage hole can promptly discharge the liquid collected in the drainage trough to the outside of the tank, preventing liquid accumulation, further improving drainage efficiency, effectively preventing liquid from seeping into the tank, and enhancing the reliability of the vehicle in rainy and other environments.

These are merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," and "connection" 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 direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] Reference Figure 1In existing technology, the sealing strip 3 of the front trunk of a vehicle typically has a frame 4 inside, and the sealing strip 3 is secured to the edge of the trunk body 1 by the frame 4. Although this arrangement secures the sealing strip 3, the presence of the frame 4 results in a larger volume and heavier sealing strip 3, thus increasing the overall vehicle weight and material costs. Furthermore, placing the sealing strip 3 at the edge of the trunk body 1 increases the structural height at that point, making it difficult for users to smoothly place or retrieve items, especially when carrying large suitcases. Users are prone to contact with the sealing strip 3 during use, causing wear and tear and affecting its sealing performance; moreover, dust easily adheres to the surface of the sealing strip, which may contaminate the luggage items it comes into contact with, reducing the user experience and affecting the overall aesthetic appearance of the front trunk.

[0035] To address the problems of existing trunk lids having high edges, causing inconvenience in loading and unloading luggage and wear on the sealing strip 3, as well as the sealing strip preventing users from sitting on the edge of the front trunk and resulting in an unattractive appearance of the front trunk, this embodiment discloses a vehicle including a front trunk. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The front trunk includes a trunk body 1, a trunk lid 2, and a sealing strip 3.

[0036] Regarding the box 1, it should be noted that although the box 1 in this embodiment is the front trunk of the vehicle, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can set the box 1 in other parts of the vehicle according to specific application needs. For example, the box 1 is the rear trunk of the vehicle, or other storage box structures. This does not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and therefore will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] The main structure of the box body 1 is the same as that of the front trunk box body 1 in the prior art, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here. A sealing part 11 and a drainage groove 12 are provided at the edge of the box body 1, and the sealing part 11 and drainage groove 12 are provided along the edge of the box body 1, at least on the portion of the edge of the box body 1 facing outwards from the vehicle body. The sealing part 11 is shaped as a horizontal surface at the edge of the box body 1. The drainage groove 12 is located inside the sealing part 11. Figure 2 A drainage groove 12 is located on the left side of the sealing part 11. The left side of the drainage groove 12 is an internal cavity of the housing 1, which is not shown in the figure. The drainage groove 12 is a downwardly recessed groove used to collect liquid. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the drainage groove 12 can be set as a slope to allow the liquid in the drainage groove 12 to flow along the slope, facilitating liquid drainage. The bottom of the drainage groove 12 is lower than the sealing part 11, and the top of the side wall of the drainage groove 12 away from the sealing part 11 is higher than the sealing part 11. Figure 2The left side wall of the drainage trough 12. This arrangement forms an effective liquid barrier structure, preventing external liquid from crossing the seal 11 and entering the interior of the housing 1. A drainage hole 13 is provided at the bottom of the drainage trough 12, connecting the drainage trough 12 to the outside of the housing 1. The drainage hole 13 allows liquid accumulated in the drainage trough 12 to be discharged promptly, further enhancing drainage and seepage prevention performance. Furthermore, multiple drainage holes 13 can be provided at the bottom of the drainage trough 12; the specific number of drainage holes 13 can be determined according to the length and width of the drainage trough 12.

[0038] Regarding the sealing part 11, it should be noted that although the sealing part 11 in this embodiment is a horizontal surface, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can use other arrangements in other embodiments. For example, the sealing part 11 can also be set as an inclined surface to adapt to different installation requirements or drainage needs; grooves, protrusions, or other auxiliary structures can also be provided on the sealing part 11 to further enhance the sealing effect or achieve the function of guiding liquid flow. These modifications do not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and therefore fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] The structure of the trunk lid 2 is the same as that of the front trunk lid 2 in the prior art, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here. A mounting bracket 21 is provided on the lower edge surface of the trunk lid 2. The mounting bracket 21 is in the shape of an inverted "V". Those skilled in the art will understand that this utility model does not impose any limitations on the shape of the mounting bracket 21. The mounting bracket 21 can obviously be set to other shapes, and these changes obviously do not deviate from the basic principles of this utility model and fall within the protection scope of this utility model. When the trunk lid 2 closes the trunk body 1, a preset gap is provided between the mounting bracket 21 and the sealing part 11, and the sealing strip 3 is set at this preset gap. The mounting bracket 21 is provided with a through hole 22 for connecting the sealing strip 3. The sealing strip 3 includes a connecting part 31, and the connecting part 31 is provided with a buckle. The buckle can extend into the through hole 22 to connect the sealing strip 3 to the trunk lid 2. Since the sealing strip 3 is set on the trunk lid 2, when the trunk lid 2 is opened, the sealing strip 3 will move accordingly. This design avoids the structural protrusion problem caused by the sealing strip 3 being located at the edge of the compartment 1 in traditional structures, effectively reducing the edge height of the compartment 1 and improving user convenience when loading and unloading luggage. This structure reduces the risk of scratches on the sealing strip 3 when handling luggage, and prevents dust on the sealing strip 3 from contaminating luggage, further improving the cleanliness and aesthetics of the front trunk. This design also prevents the sealing strip 3 from obstructing the user's seating position on the edge of the compartment, enhancing the user experience of the front trunk.

[0040] Regarding the connection structure between the lid 2 and the sealing strip 3, it should be noted that although the mounting bracket 21 of the lid 2 in this embodiment has a through hole 22 and the connecting part 31 of the sealing strip 3 has a snap fastener, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can use other arrangements in other embodiments. For example: the mounting bracket 21 of the lid 2 has a snap fastener, and the connecting part 31 of the sealing strip 3 has a through hole 22, achieving the connection between the lid 2 and the sealing strip 3 through a snap-fit ​​method; or, the sealing strip 3 is adhered to the lid 2; or, the sealing strip 3 is fixed to the lid 2 by threaded fasteners; or, the sealing strip 3 is installed on the lid 2 by a magnetic structure; or, a groove is provided on the lid 2, allowing the sealing strip 3 to be embedded in the groove for easy replacement and maintenance; or, any two or more of the above connection methods can be used in combination. These modifications do not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and therefore fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] The connecting part 31 is located outside the sealing strip 3; in other words, there is no skeleton 4 inside the sealing strip 3. This arrangement simplifies the internal structure of the sealing strip 3, making the overall weight of the sealing strip 3 lighter and the volume smaller, which helps to reduce the amount of material used and manufacturing costs. At the same time, it plays a positive role in the lightweight design of the whole vehicle and further improves the energy efficiency performance of the vehicle.

[0042] The sealing strip 3 has a cavity inside. When the sealing strip 3 comes into contact with the sealing part 11, it is squeezed by the sealing part 11, causing the sealing strip 3 to deform. Figure 2 The shape of the deformed sealing strip 3 is not shown. A sealing surface is formed between the deformed sealing strip 3 and the sealing part 11. The sealing strip 3 is provided along the edge of the lid 2, and the sealing strip 3 is correspondingly provided with the sealing part 11. When the lid 2 closes the box body 1, the sealing surface between the sealing strip 3 and the sealing part 11 can seal the gap between the box body 1 and the lid 2.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Compared to existing technologies, the sealing surface in this embodiment is located below the sealing strip 3. This allows external liquids such as rainwater and road puddles outside the front trunk to easily seep into the interior of the trunk 1 through the sealing surface. To prevent liquid from entering the interior of the trunk 1, a drainage groove 12 is provided on the inner side of the sealing surface to collect any liquid that may seep in. Since the top of the side wall of the drainage groove 12, which is away from the sealing surface, is higher than the sealing surface, this side wall can also effectively prevent liquid from further flowing into the interior of the trunk 1. The liquid collected in the drainage groove 12 can be discharged to the outside of the trunk 1 through the drainage hole 13 located at its bottom, thereby achieving effective drainage and seepage prevention functions.

[0044] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
