[0035] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" 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 application based on the specific circumstances.
[0036] Regarding one aspect of the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A storage box structure 10 is provided, which is configured on a vehicle frame 20 for storing items. The storage box structure 10 includes a box body 11 and a box cover 12 rotatably disposed on the box body 11. The box body 11 is used to fix to the vehicle frame 20, and the box cover 12 is rotatably opened and closed to expose or close the opening of the box body 11.
[0037] Please refer to the reference. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The box lid 12 includes a lid body 121 and a lid liner 122. The lid liner 122 is located on the side of the lid body 121 facing the box body 11. An ambient light 13 is provided between the lid body 121 and the lid liner 122. The ambient light 13 is fixed on the lid liner 122 and exposed on the lid body 121.
[0038] It should be noted that the inner liner 122 is fixed to the side of the cover 121 facing the box 11, and the two are preferably detachably connected. The inner liner 122 and the cover 121 enclose a receiving space, and an ambient light 13 is provided in the receiving space. The base of the ambient light 13 is fixed to the inner liner 122, and the light-emitting part is exposed on the cover 121, thereby emitting light out of the cover 121 to achieve the function of illuminating or creating an atmosphere. In this embodiment, the way the ambient light 13 is exposed on the cover 121 is not limited. For example, the cover 121 has an opening, and the ambient light 13 is embedded in the opening so that it is exposed on the cover 121. Alternatively, the area on the cover 121 corresponding to the ambient light 13 is transparent, thereby exposing the ambient light 13, so that the light emitted by the ambient light 13 can penetrate the cover 121.
[0039] The number of ambient lights 13 can be one, two, or more. When there are two or more ambient lights 13, the colors of the two or more ambient lights 13 can be different. Alternatively, the ambient lights 13 themselves can change color, thereby providing consumers with a better user experience.
[0040] When the lid 12 is closed, the inner liner 122 is located inside or above the box body 11. The inner liner 122 can abut against the box body 11 to close the opening of the box body 11.
[0041] The aforementioned storage box structure 10 combines storage and lighting functions, providing consumers with a better user experience. Furthermore, the inner liner 122 integrates the function of the ambient light 13 base shell, simplifying the product structure, reducing the number of parts, and lowering production costs.
[0042] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The inner liner 122 of the lid is provided with an annular groove 1221, and a sealing strip 123 is provided in the annular groove 1221. The sealing strip 123 is used to seal the gap between the box body 11 and the inner liner 122 of the lid, so as to achieve the effect of sealing, waterproofing and dustproofing, and protecting the items inside the storage box structure 10 from damage.
[0043] An annular groove 1221 on the inner liner 122 surrounds the opening of the box body 11. The sealing strip 123 is also annular, partially embedded in the annular groove 1221 and partially exposed outside the inner liner 122. When the lid 12 is closed, the sealing strip 123 abuts against the surface of the box body 11, thus achieving a seal. That is, when the lid 12 is closed, the sealing strip 123 is located between the box body 11 and the inner liner 122, filling the gap between them to achieve a seal.
[0044] For example, the annular groove 1221 is located on the surface of the cover liner 122 away from the cover body 121, and the area of the sealing strip 123 exposed in the cover liner 122 abuts against the upper surface of the box body 11. After abutting, the sealing strip 123 surrounds the opening on the outside of the opening, thereby sealing the opening.
[0045] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The inner liner 122 is provided with a locking hook 124, which is used to engage with the lid lock on the frame 20 to lock or release the lid.
[0046] When the locking hook 124 is locked to the lid lock, the lid 12 cannot be opened. When the locking hook 124 is released from the lid lock, the lid 12 can be opened. The locking hook 124 is provided to prevent items inside the storage box structure 10 from being lost. The structure of the locking hook 124 and the lid lock is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0047] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The box body 11 and the box lid 12 are connected by a hinge 14. The hinge 14 includes a fixed base 141 and a bracket 142. The fixed base 141 and the bracket 142 are rotatably connected by a pivot 143. The fixed base 141 is fixedly connected to the box body 11, and the bracket 142 is fixedly connected to the box lid 12 (e.g., the inner liner 122 of the box lid 12). A torsion spring 144 is sleeved on the pivot 143. One torsion arm of the torsion spring 144 abuts against the bracket 142, and the other torsion arm abuts against the box body 11. Please refer to the reference. Figure 8 When the lid 12 is closed, the torsion spring 144 deforms and stores energy. When the lid 12 is open, the torsion spring 144 supports the lid 12.
[0048] The hinge 14's fixed base 141 and the bracket 142 are rotatable relative to each other, allowing the lid 12 to rotate relative to the box body 11. When the lid 12 is closed, the torsion spring 144 on the pivot 143 is in a deformed state due to the pressure from the bracket 142 and the box body 11, storing energy. At this time, a locking structure is required on the lid 12 to keep it closed. After the locking structure is unlocked, the torsion spring 144 recovers and releases its energy, driving the lid 12 to open and supporting it at its maximum opening angle to prevent it from closing on its own.
[0049] For example, there are two hinges 14, which are symmetrically distributed to improve the stability of the movement of the lid 12.
[0050] Optionally, the hinge 14 also includes a damper 145 disposed on the bracket 142, the damper 145 being sleeved on the pivot 143, the damper 145 being used to prevent the cover 12 from suddenly popping up.
[0051] The damper 145 allows the support 142 to move slowly when the torsion spring 144 recovers its energy, thus preventing the lid 12 connected to the support 142 from suddenly popping up and accidentally injuring the consumer. The damper 145 improves the safety of the storage box structure 10.
[0052] For example, the bracket 142 is provided with a mounting hole 1421, the damper 145 is embedded in the mounting hole 1421 and sleeved on the rotating shaft 143.
[0053] Optionally, the ambient light 13 has a power cord 131, and the bracket 142 has a wire groove 1422, in which the power cord 131 is fixed. The power cord 131 is secured in the wire groove 1422, which can prevent the power cord 131 from being exposed and scratched, thus increasing electrical safety.
[0054] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 The box body 11 includes a base plate 111 and an annular outer frame 112 disposed on the base plate 111. The base plate 111 closes the bottom of the annular outer frame 112, while the top of the annular outer frame 112 forms an opening in the box body 11. The base plate 111 is used to mount on the frame 20 and abuts against the top of the battery 40 disposed on the frame 20 to prevent the battery 40 from shaking up and down. A rotating handle 113 and a locking plate 114 linked to the rotating handle 113 are provided on the side of the base plate 111 facing the box cover 12. The consumer can drive the locking plate 114 to rotate by rotating the rotating handle 113.
[0055] The locking plate 114 engages with a limiting structure on the frame 20. When the rotating handle 113 drives the locking plate 114 to engage with the limiting structure, the base plate 111 is fixed to the frame 20, thereby limiting the battery 40 and preventing the base plate 111 from opening abnormally due to movement of the locking plate 114 during vehicle operation. When the rotating handle 113 disengages the locking plate 114 from the limiting structure, the base plate 111 can be removed from the frame 20, allowing the battery 40 to be taken out. Further disassembly of the housing 11 facilitates maintenance of the electrical components mounted on the frame 20, increasing maintenance convenience.
[0056] It should be noted that the rotating handle 113 and the locking plate 114 can be an integral structure, that is, two parts of the same part, or they can be separate structures, which are fixedly connected together by connectors or welding.
[0057] Furthermore, a buffer block 115 is provided on the side of the base plate 111 away from the cover 12, and the base plate 111 abuts against the battery 40 through the buffer block 115.
[0058] The buffer block 115 can act as a buffer at the point where the base plate 111 contacts the battery 40 to prevent damage to the battery 40. The material of the buffer block 115 is preferably rubber.
[0059] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The locking plate 114 is provided with a limiting boss 1141, which is used to cooperate with the limiting hole 21 on the frame 20.
[0060] When the limiting boss 1141 on the locking plate 114 is rotated into the limiting hole 21, the base plate 111 is fixed on the frame 20, which can prevent the locking plate 114 from moving during vehicle operation and causing the base plate 111 to open abnormally. When the limiting boss 1141 is rotated out of the limiting hole 21, the base plate 111 can be removed.
[0061] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 11 The base plate 111 is provided with two limiting ribs 1111, which are used to limit the opening and closing positions of the rotating handle 113 respectively.
[0062] Optionally, the base plate 111 is provided with a positioning boss 1112, which is used to abut against the bottom of the frame 20 for limiting the position.
[0063] This embodiment also provides an electric vehicle; please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 8 It includes a frame 20 and a storage box structure 10, as described above, disposed on the frame 20.
[0064] The electric vehicle includes the same structure and beneficial effects as the storage box structure 10 in the foregoing embodiments. The structure and beneficial effects of the storage box structure 10 have been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0065] Optionally, the electric vehicle also includes a battery box 30 and a battery 40 disposed in the battery box 30. The battery box 30 is fixed to the frame 20, and the bottom plate 111 of the storage box structure 10 abuts against the top of the battery 40.
[0066] The battery box 30 is used to constrain the movement of the battery 40 in the horizontal direction, and the base plate 111 is used to constrain the movement of the battery 40 in the vertical direction.
[0067] Optionally, the electric vehicle also includes a body trim rack 50, with a body bracket 142 covering the frame 20 and storage box structure 10 to enhance the appearance of the electric vehicle.
[0068] It is understandable that the vehicle body trim rack 50 should not interfere with the opening and closing of the storage box structure 10 and the lid 12.
[0069] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
