[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations on this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] The first aspect of this application provides a storage box 100 for installation on the bottom side of the floor 200 of a vehicle's trunk along the top-bottom direction.

[0042] Understandably, a vehicle's trunk, also known as the rear cargo box or trunk, is the space at the rear of the vehicle used to store luggage, goods, or other items.

[0043] The floor 200 of the suitcase refers to the bottom surface inside the suitcase, where items are placed. The floor 200 of the suitcase provides a flat and sturdy base for items placed inside the suitcase, ensuring that these items can be stored stably without being damaged.

[0044] The storage box 100 is located on the underside of the floor 200 of the vehicle's trunk, making full use of the space under the trunk floor 200. On the one hand, it increases the trunk's storage space to meet the user's storage needs. Large items can be placed on top of the trunk floor 200, while small items can be placed in the storage box 100, achieving partitioned storage and increasing the neatness of the storage. The floor 200 can also cover and protect the storage box 100, preventing items from falling out of the storage box 100 and improving the user experience. On the other hand, vehicle tools or some infrequently used parts, such as the cargo cover 500, can also be placed in the storage box 100, providing a fixed storage space and increasing the reliability of storage.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The storage box 100 includes a base plate 10, a side panel 20 and a top panel 30. The side panel 20 is connected to the top side of the base plate 10, and the side panel 20 and the base plate 10 together form a storage slot 100a. The top panel 30 is connected to the top side of the side panel 20 and is used to connect to the floor 200 of the suitcase.

[0046] It is understood that the base plate 10 is the bottom structure of the storage box 100, the side panel 20 is connected to the outer periphery of the base plate 10 and to the top side of the base plate 10. The combination of the side panel 20 and the base plate 10 defines the storage slot 100a. Some small items of the user can be placed in the storage slot 100a, and vehicle tools such as reflective vests and repair tool kits can also be placed in the storage slot 100a.

[0047] The top enclosure 30 can be connected to the outer periphery of the side enclosure 20 and to the top side of the side enclosure 20. The storage box 100 is connected to the floor 200 of the suitcase through the top enclosure 30. The connection method between the top enclosure 30 and the floor 200 of the suitcase is not limited. It can be a rotating connection, a sliding connection, or other connection methods, as long as the storage box 100 can be opened and closed. There are no restrictions here.

[0048] The top circumference 30 is provided with a groove 30a, which is used to accommodate part of the structure of the warning sign 300, so that another part of the warning sign 300 protrudes from the top outside of the groove 30a.

[0049] Specifically, the groove 30a is positioned so that the opening faces the floor 200 of the suitcase, meaning that the groove 30a can be seen when the floor 200 of the suitcase is opened to reveal the storage box 100.

[0050] Warning sign 300, also known as a warning sign or triangular warning sign, is used as a vehicle tool. When a vehicle stops due to a breakdown, accident, or other emergency, a warning sign 300 is placed at a certain distance behind the vehicle to warn vehicles behind to slow down and give way.

[0051] For example, the warning sign 300 uses a bright color such as red and is reflective so that it can be clearly seen at night or in low light conditions.

[0052] Understandably, when the warning sign 300 is not in use, the buckles on the warning sign 300 can be removed, and the two movable sides of the warning sign 300 can be folded down one by one for storage.

[0053] Here, the part of the structure of the warning sign 300 is housed in the groove 30a, which means that the warning sign 300 is folded and stored in a way that fits into the groove 30a.

[0054] Part of the structure of the warning sign 300 is housed within the groove 30a, while another part protrudes from the top outer side of the groove 30a. On one hand, the warning sign 300 is stored and fixed in the groove 30a formed by the structure of the top circumference 30, without occupying space in the storage compartment 100a. When the warning sign 300 is needed, there is no need to search for it in the storage compartment 100a. On the other hand, the other part of the warning sign 300 protrudes from the top outer side of the groove 30a, which provides an operating area for the user when the user opens the floor 200 of the suitcase. This allows the user to directly grasp the part of the warning sign 300 protruding from the groove 30a and take it out, increasing the convenience of taking out and putting away the warning sign 300.

[0055] Understandably, although only a portion of the structure of the warning sign 300 is housed within the groove 30a, the warning sign 300 can be secured and stored using Velcro or other methods, reducing the likelihood of it coming out of the groove 30a while the vehicle is in motion. Simultaneously, the depth of the groove 30a does not need to be large, reducing molding difficulty and facilitating one-piece molding without the need for auxiliary structures, thus lowering the manufacturing difficulty of the storage box 100 and increasing its structural simplicity.

[0056] Understandably, the warning sign 300 is a frequently used and important tool among the vehicle's tools, requiring frequent handling. For related technical details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 7 to 12 The entire structure of the warning sign is housed within the top enclosure, making it inconvenient for users to remove.

[0057] The storage box 100 provided in this embodiment makes full use of the space under the floor 200 of the suitcase, increasing the suitcase's storage space. This ensures sufficient storage capacity for users even with the addition of electrical components, meeting their storage needs. The storage box 100 also allows for partitioning the suitcase's storage space into the space above the floor 200 and the space under the floor 200, enabling separate storage. Vehicle tools or less frequently used components such as the cargo cover 500 can be securely stored in the storage box 100, increasing storage reliability. The groove 30a in the top circumference 30 provides a fixed storage space for the warning sign 300. On one hand, the warning sign 300 protrudes from the top outer side of the groove 30a, making it easy to retrieve and place. On the other hand, storing the warning sign 300 in the top circumference 30 does not occupy the storage compartment 100a space, and places the frequently used and important warning sign 300 in an easily visible and accessible location, paying more attention to user needs and improving the user experience.

[0058] In some embodiments, the depth of the groove 30a along the top-bottom direction is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the size of the warning sign 300. That is, along the top-bottom direction, the size of the warning sign 300 located in the groove 30a is not less than 1 / 3 and not more than 1 / 2 of its folded and stored size.

[0059] In other words, the size of the warning sign 300 protruding from the top outer side of the groove 30a is not less than 1 / 2 and not more than 2 / 3 of its size after being folded and stored.

[0060] Thus, in this embodiment, the depth of the groove 30a serves two purposes. First, it facilitates positioning the warning sign 300 and provides certain limiting constraints on the sign, reducing the likelihood of the sign 300 falling out of the groove 30a and increasing the reliability of its storage. Second, it ensures that the sign 300 has sufficient size to be exposed on the top outer side of the groove 30a, making it easy for users to remove and place it, thus providing high convenience for retrieval and placement.

[0061] In some embodiments, the depth of the groove 30a is 5 mm to 15 mm, for example, 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm, 6.6 mm, 7 mm, 7.5 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, etc.

[0062] In this embodiment, the depth of the groove 30a is appropriate, neither too large nor too small, making it easy to adapt to the size of the warning sign 300 and to provide certain limiting constraints on the warning sign 300. At the same time, the groove 30a is easy to form and can be manufactured by integral molding.

[0063] It should be noted that, in the relevant technologies, please refer to... Figures 7 to 12 The warning sign is completely housed within the top enclosure. The depth of the warning sign storage slot is greater than 30mm, making it impossible to form the warning sign storage slot in one step by drawing. Additional auxiliary structures or processes are required, resulting in a higher structural complexity than the storage box 100 in the embodiment of this application.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The top circumference 30 is provided with a placement groove 30b. Part of the bottom wall of the groove 30a is recessed to the bottom side to form the placement groove 30b, which is used to store the trailer hook 400.

[0065] Understandably, the tow hook 400 is a type of vehicle tool used to connect a disabled vehicle to a rescue vehicle in the event of a vehicle malfunction or accident, so that the disabled vehicle can be towed to a safe location or repair station.

[0066] Part of the bottom wall of the groove 30a is recessed to the bottom to form a placement groove 30b, meaning the tow hook 400 can be placed on the bottom side of the warning sign 300. Thus, when a vehicle breaks down, the user can first remove the warning sign 300 and place it behind the vehicle, and then remove the tow hook 400 when the tow truck arrives, maximizing space utilization without needing to set aside additional storage space for the tow hook 400.

[0067] Understandably, when the warning sign 300 is connected to the groove 30a via Velcro, the Velcro can be positioned in the area of ​​the groove 30a where the placement slot 30b is not formed, so as to secure the warning sign 300 without interfering with the storage of the tow hook 400. For example, the placement slot 30b can be located in the middle area of ​​the groove 30a, thus the Velcro can be positioned on opposite sides of the placement slot 30b to increase the stability of the warning sign 300.

[0068] Understandably, the trailer hook 400 can be completely contained within the placement slot 30b. When removing it, the trailer hook 400 is taken out by its own pull ring. In this way, the placement stability of both the trailer hook 400 and the warning sign 300 is relatively high. The warning sign 300 can be placed stably in the groove 30a. At the same time, the trailer hook 400 is limited, making it difficult for the trailer hook 400 to fall out of the placement slot 30b.

[0069] In this embodiment, a placement slot 30b for storing the trailer hook 400 is formed by the groove 30a, which effectively utilizes space and allows for the simultaneous storage of the frequently used and important warning sign 300 and trailer hook 400 within a small space. This does not affect the ease of access for both the warning sign 300 and the trailer hook 400. Users can use the warning sign 300 first and then the trailer hook 400 as needed. At the same time, the warning sign 300 can also be used to limit and constrain the trailer hook 400 without the need for additional limiting and fixing structures, thus increasing the placement stability of the trailer hook 400.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The top enclosure 30 includes a first top plate 31, which is connected to one side of the side enclosure 20 along a first direction. A groove 30a is recessed in the top wall of the first top plate 31. The first top plate 31 extends horizontally, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the top and bottom direction.

[0071] It is understood that the first direction can be a front-to-back direction or a left-to-right direction; for example, the first direction can be a front-to-back direction. For example, the first top plate 31 can be connected to the front side of the side panel 20.

[0072] The first top plate 31 extends horizontally, meaning it is generally formed as a flat plate extending in a horizontal direction. The first top plate 31 extends horizontally from its connection point with the side wall 20 in a first direction away from the side wall 20. The first top plate 31 has no bent or inclined portions. The horizontal direction is parallel to the ground and can be either front-to-back or left-to-right.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first top plate 31 extends horizontally, which facilitates its forming. Simultaneously, the position of the first top plate 31 can be set as low as possible, thereby increasing the space between the first top plate 31 and the floor 200 of the suitcase. This ensures sufficient space between the first top plate 31 and the floor 200 of the suitcase to accommodate other items such as the cargo cover 500, reducing the space occupied by the storage compartment 100a and increasing space utilization. Of course, the horizontal extension of the first top plate 31 also increases the aesthetic reliability of the storage box 100.

[0074] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The first top plate 31 is the lowest point of the top circumference 30 along the top-bottom direction.

[0075] In other words, along the top-to-bottom direction, with respect to the top circumference 30, the first top plate 31 is the lowest point, closest to the bottom plate 10, and furthest from the floor 200 of the suitcase. This provides sufficient height space between the first top plate 31 and the floor 200 of the suitcase, allowing for the use of this space to accommodate structures such as the cargo cover 500, providing a fixed storage space for the cargo cover 500, reducing space waste, and increasing the storage reliability of the storage box 100.

[0076] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The top enclosure 30 also includes a first enclosure panel 32 and two second top panels 33. The first enclosure panel 32 and the second top panels 33 are respectively connected to the top side of the first top panel 31. The two second top panels 33 are connected to the opposite sides of the side enclosure 20 along the second direction. One end of the two second top panels 33 along the first direction is respectively connected to the first enclosure panel 32, and together with the first enclosure panel 32, they enclose a storage area 30c. The storage area 30c is used to store the curtain 500. The first direction, the second direction, and the top and bottom directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0077] For example, when the first direction is the front-back direction, the second direction can be the left-right direction.

[0078] Understandably, the cargo cover 500, also known as a luggage compartment cover or trunk cover, can effectively block the view of rear seat passengers directly into the trunk, increasing privacy and effectively protecting the privacy and security of personal belongings. At the same time, the cargo cover 500 can also prevent valuables from being stolen by smashing windows.

[0079] Understandably, in related technologies, storage curtains do not have fixed storage space, such as... Figures 7 to 12 As shown, the storage box does not have enough space along the top and bottom to accommodate the cargo cover (i.e., there is not enough space above the warning sign to store the cargo cover). The cargo cover can only be placed in the space above the floor of the trunk. During vehicle operation, the cargo cover is prone to shaking, causing abnormal noises and affecting the user experience.

[0080] The first enclosure panel 32 and the second top panel 33 are respectively connected to the top side of the first top panel 31, that is, the positions of the first enclosure panel 32 and the second top panel 33 are both higher than the first top panel 31.

[0081] For example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first enclosure panel 32 can extend approximately along the top and bottom direction. In this way, the first enclosure panel 32 has sufficient length along the top and bottom direction to provide good restraint and support for the curtain 500.

[0082] In this embodiment, a storage area 30c is formed by the first enclosure 32 and the two second top plates 33 to store the curtain 500. The space on the top side of the first top plate 31 is fully utilized to provide a fixed storage space for the curtain 500. At the same time, the first enclosure 32 and the two second top plates 33 work together to position and limit the curtain 500, increasing the stability of the curtain 500.

[0083] It is understandable that the structure of the first panel 32 or the second top panel 33 can be configured to limit the cargo cover 500. At the same time, the cargo cover 500 can also be limited in the top and bottom direction by contacting the floor 200 of the trunk, so that the cargo cover 500 is not easy to fall off during vehicle movement.

[0084] For example, please refer to Figure 6 The object shield 500 can be installed at an interval from the warning sign 300. Along the top and bottom direction, the interval between the object shield 500 and the warning sign 300 shall not exceed 5mm, for example, 5mm, 4.5mm, 4.2mm, 4mm, 3.8mm, 3.5mm, 3.3mm, 3mm, 2.5mm, 2mm, 1.8mm, 1.5mm, 1mm, etc. In this way, the object shield 500 and the warning sign 300 will not interfere with each other, reducing the chance of friction and wear between them.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The second top plate 33 includes a flat plate portion 331 and a protrusion portion 332 protruding from the top wall of the flat plate portion 331. The flat plate portion 331 is connected to the first enclosure plate 32, and the protrusion portion 332 is spaced apart from the first enclosure plate 32 along a first direction to limit the position of the curtain 500.

[0086] For example, the flat plate portion 331 extends horizontally, and the protrusion portion 332 is positioned higher than the flat plate portion 331. Thus, the bottom of the curtain 500 can be supported on the flat plate portion 331, and the curtain 500 abuts against the protrusion portion 332 and the first enclosure plate 32 on opposite sides along the first direction.

[0087] For example, the edges of the rods of the cargo cover 500 at opposite ends along the first direction can be engaged between the protrusion 332 and the first enclosure 32. The protrusion 332 and the first enclosure 32 limit the cargo cover 500 along the first direction, thereby enabling the cargo cover 500 to be stably stored and preventing shaking or abnormal noise during vehicle operation.

[0088] In this embodiment, the protrusion 332 cooperates with the first enclosure 32 to limit and fix the curtain 500, thereby further increasing the storage reliability of the curtain 500.

[0089] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The top wall of the protrusion 332 near the first enclosure 32 is recessed to the bottom to form a sunken area 332a, which is used to avoid and support the curtain 500.

[0090] For example, in the retracted state, part of the curtain of the blind 500 is outside the rod to facilitate pulling it out.

[0091] In this embodiment, the recessed area 332a allows the curtain of the blind 500 to avoid being located outside the frame. Simultaneously, the recessed area 332a provides support for the blind 500, increasing its placement reliability. Furthermore, the non-recessed top wall of the protrusion 332 forms a stepped structure with the recessed area 332a, which can limit the position of the blind 500's fabric along the first direction.

[0092] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The top enclosure 30 also includes a first flap 34, which is connected to one side of the first enclosure 32 along the first direction and is used to contact the floor 200 of the suitcase to provide support for the floor 200 of the suitcase.

[0093] The first flap 34 can extend horizontally or be at a certain angle, as long as it can make contact with the floor 200 of the suitcase.

[0094] In this embodiment, the first flap 34 provides support for the floor 200 of the suitcase, which increases the load-bearing reliability of the floor 200 of the suitcase. At the same time, it can also share the pressure on the cargo cover 500 and increase the structural reliability of the storage box 100.

[0095] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The top enclosure 30 also includes a connecting plate 35 and a second flap 36. The first flap 34 and the second flap 36 are spaced apart along a first direction. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting plate 35 along the top and bottom direction is U-shaped. The connecting plate 35 connects the first flap 34 and the second flap 36. The second flap 36 is used to connect with the floor 200 of the suitcase.

[0096] In other words, from the first flap 34 to the second flap 36, there was one downward fold, one horizontal fold, and one upward fold.

[0097] In this embodiment, the first flap 34 and the second flap 36 can jointly provide support for the floor 200 of the suitcase. The connecting plate 35 is connected between the first flap 34 and the second flap 36. The first flap 34 and the second flap 36 can distribute the pressure on the floor 200 of the suitcase and increase the structural stability of the storage box 100. At the same time, the second flap 36 is connected to the floor 200 of the suitcase, which facilitates the opening and closing of the lid.

[0098] For example, the second flap 36 may be rotatably connected to the floor 200 of the suitcase. The end of the floor 200 of the suitcase away from the second flap 36 is the free end.

[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The side panel 20 includes a first side panel 21, two second side panels 22 and a third side panel 23 that are respectively connected to the bottom plate 10. The first side panel 21 and the third side panel 23 are spaced apart along a first direction, and the two second side panels 22 are spaced apart along a second direction and are respectively connected to the first side panel 21 and the third side panel 23 to jointly define the storage compartment 100a.

[0100] That is, the first side plate 21, one of the second side plates 22, the third side plate 23, and the other second side plate 22 are connected in sequence, and together with the bottom plate 10, they form a storage trough 100a.

[0101] The first side plate 21 is connected to the bottom side of the first top plate 31. The first side plate 21 includes a first sub-plate 211 and a second sub-plate 212 that are connected to each other. The bottom end of the second sub-plate 212 is connected to the bottom plate 10. One end of the first sub-plate 211 is connected to the top end of the second sub-plate 212, and the other end extends obliquely towards the top and away from the third side plate 23 to connect with the first top plate 31. The first direction, the second direction, and the top-bottom direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0102] In other words, along the direction from the bottom to the top, the cross-sectional area of ​​the storage compartment 100a at the first sub-plate 211 is greater than the cross-sectional area at the second sub-plate 212. The distance between the first sub-plate 211 and the third side plate 23 is greater than the distance between the second sub-plate 212 and the third side plate 23.

[0103] It is understood that the first sub-plate 211 is inclined relative to the top and bottom direction, and the second sub-plate 212 can be parallel to the top and bottom direction or inclined relative to the top and bottom direction. The inclination angle of the second sub-plate 212 relative to the top and bottom direction can be less than the inclination angle of the first sub-plate 211 relative to the top and bottom direction, or it can be equal to the inclination angle of the first sub-plate 211 relative to the top and bottom direction. There is no restriction here.

[0104] In this embodiment, the space of the storage slot 100a can be further increased by setting the first sub-board 211, thereby increasing the storage capacity of the storage box 100 to meet the user's storage needs.

[0105] In some embodiments, the storage box 100 is a one-piece structure.

[0106] That is, the storage box 100 can be manufactured in one piece, which can reduce assembly steps and improve the structural strength of the storage box 100.

[0107] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle, including a storage box 100, a luggage compartment, vehicle tools, and a cargo cover 500, according to any embodiment of this application.

[0108] The suitcase includes a floor 200, which covers the top side of the storage box 100 and together with the storage box 100, forms a storage space. The groove 30a and the storage slot 100a are part of the storage space.

[0109] The vehicle tools include a warning sign 300, a tow hook 400, and a reflective vest. Part of the warning sign 300 is located in the groove 30a, and another part protrudes from the top outside of the groove 30a. The tow hook 400 is located on the bottom side of the warning sign 300, and the reflective vest is located in the storage compartment 100a.

[0110] Understandably, vehicle tools refer to a set of tools provided with the vehicle at the factory, designed to help users perform simple repairs and maintenance in emergency situations. For example, vehicle tools may also include a jack and tire repair tools. The jack and tire repair tools can be stored in storage compartment 100a.

[0111] The storage curtain 500 is housed outside the recess 30a and the storage slot 100a. The storage curtain 500 abuts against the floor 200 and is spaced apart from the warning sign 300.

[0112] It should be noted that after the vehicle of this application adopts the storage box 100 of any embodiment of this application, the vehicle of this application has all the advantages of the storage box 100 of that embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0113] It should be noted that the vehicle in this application embodiment can be of various types, such as sedan, commercial vehicle, off-road vehicle or sports utility vehicle, etc.

[0115] Figures 1 to 6In the storage box 100 of this application embodiment, part of the warning sign 300 is accommodated in the groove 30a, and another part protrudes from the top outer side of the groove 30a. The tow hook 400 is accommodated on the bottom side of the warning sign 300. The first top plate 31 extends horizontally and is the lowest point of the top enclosure 30. Along the top-bottom direction, the distance between the first top plate 31 and the floor 200 of the luggage compartment is h. h is greater than the size of the warning sign 300 protruding from the top outer side of the groove 30a and the size of the cargo cover 500 along the top-bottom direction. Therefore, the top enclosure 30 forms a storage area 30c to store the cargo cover 500. The cargo cover 500 is placed in the space on the top side of the warning sign 300 and is spaced apart from the warning sign 300 along the top-bottom direction.

[0116] Figures 7 to 9 In a related technology, the entire structure of the storage box 100' and the warning sign 300' is housed in the warning sign storage slot. In this related technology, the structure corresponding to the first top plate 31 of this application extends upward at an angle away from the storage slot, and the distance between it and the floor 200' of the suitcase is h1.

[0117] Compared with related technologies, the storage box 100 and warning sign 300 of this application embodiment are highly convenient to access, and the horizontal extension of the first top plate 31 helps to increase the aesthetic appeal of the storage box 100. Meanwhile, the groove 30a of the storage box 100 of this application is shallow, making it easy to manufacture in one piece, while the warning sign storage groove of the related technology is deeper and not easily formed by drawing. Furthermore, h > h1, the storage box 100 of this application has sufficient space above the first top plate 31 to accommodate the storage curtain 500, while the related technology lacks sufficient height space.

[0118] Therefore, the storage space of the storage box 100 of this application is greater than the storage space of the storage box 100' of the related technology.

[0119] Figures 10 to 12 In another related technology, the entire structure of the storage box 100 and the warning sign 300 is housed in the storage slot of the warning sign 300. In this related technology, the structure corresponding to the first top plate 31 of this application is flattened, and the distance between it and the floor 200” of the suitcase is h2.

[0120] Compared with related technologies, the storage box 100” and warning sign 300 of the present application embodiment are more convenient to access. Meanwhile, the groove 30a of the storage box 100 of the present application is shallow, making it easy to manufacture in one piece, while the warning sign storage groove of the related technology is deeper and not easily formed by drawing. Furthermore, h > h2, the storage box 100 of the present application has a lower position for the first top plate 31, providing sufficient space above to accommodate the storage curtain 500, while the related technology lacks sufficient height space. Additionally, the storage box 100 of the present application has a tilted expansion design for the first side plate 21, resulting in a larger storage slot 100a space than the related technology.

[0121] Therefore, the storage space of the storage box 100 of this application is greater than the storage space of the storage box 100 of the related technology.
