These devices are designed with large storage spaces or open storage areas, capable of holding a variety of items. However, these storage devices are not suitable for storing frequently used, small items that cannot be bumped or knocked.

[0003] These in-vehicle items are stored in the armrest box, glove box, door panel map pockets, or seatback mesh pockets, which presents an inconvenience for passengers to access them. Furthermore, items stored in these storage devices are often not securely fastened, potentially causing rattling and creaking noises, and posing a risk of damage or accidental activation due to collisions with other stored items. Existing technology also includes smaller drawer-style storage boxes within the vehicle body to store these items, but accessing them requires pulling out the box, which still presents an inconvenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of inconvenience in retrieving and storing items in existing car storage devices.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a vehicle-mounted storage device, comprising: a housing for mounting on a vehicle body, the housing having a cavity and a first opening for vehicle-mounted items to pass through in a first direction; a box body disposed within the cavity, the box body having a storage cavity and a second opening opposite to the first opening, the second opening for vehicle-mounted items to pass through in the first direction to enter and exit the storage cavity; the box body being slidable relative to the housing in the cavity along the first direction to switch between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first direction, the box body is further away from the first opening in the second position than in the first position; a locking mechanism disposed on the housing and / or the box body; wherein in a locked state, the locking mechanism locks the box body in the second position; in an unlocked state, the locking mechanism allows the box body to slide between the second position and the first position in the cavity; and a return mechanism connected to the box body; in an unlocked state, the return mechanism allows the box body to slide from the second position to the first position.

[0006] The vehicle storage device provided by this utility model allows for easy storage of vehicle items. One end of the item is inserted into the storage cavity through the first and second openings. Under pushing force, the item and the container slide together within the cavity of the outer shell towards a second position. A locking mechanism locks the item when it slides from the first position (outermost position within the cavity) to the second position (innermost position). To remove the item, the locking mechanism unlocks, and a return mechanism allows the container to slide outwards from the second position back to the first position, at which point the item can be removed. Therefore, the storage process for vehicle items is simple and convenient.

[0007] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a vehicle storage device, wherein the locking mechanism includes a matching latch and a labyrinth lock, the latch is disposed at the end of the box body away from the second opening, and the labyrinth lock is disposed at the end of the outer shell away from the first opening; the return mechanism includes at least one first spring; each first spring extends along a first direction, and the end of the first spring away from the first opening is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the box body, and the end of the first spring near the first opening is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the corresponding side of the outer shell; and when the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the first spring is in the stretched state.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, the locking mechanism and the return mechanism have simple structures. When the box slides from the first position to the second position, the first spring provides resistance, improving the user experience. When unlocking is required, pressing the item in the vehicle will unlock the locking mechanism. After unlocking, the preload of the first spring will cause the box to move automatically from the second position to the first position, making operation convenient.

[0009] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a vehicle storage device, which further includes a damping structure. The damping structure includes a gear disposed on the outer wall of one side of the box and a toothed structure disposed on the inner wall of the outer shell, wherein the toothed structure meshes with the gear.

[0036] Cars often contain small, frequently used items that cannot withstand impact. These items are typically stored in the armrest box, glove box, door pocket map pockets, or seatback mesh pockets, which can be inconvenient for passengers to access. Furthermore, items stored in these storage compartments are often not securely fastened, potentially leading to rattling noises or damage from collisions with other stored items. Some cars have small drawer-style storage boxes, but even these require pulling them out to retrieve items, which is still inconvenient. For example, with the development of smart cockpits, the functions of rear seats and entertainment systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated. To enhance the passenger experience, more and more cars are equipped with in-car remote controls, and the storage of these remote controls has become a major pain point in car storage space.

[0037] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a vehicle-mounted storage device, wherein the box body can slide inside and outside the cavity of the outer shell installed on the car body, and can be locked by a locking mechanism when it slides to its farthest point. This vehicle-mounted storage device structure makes the storage process simple and convenient for storing and retrieving items from the vehicle.

[0038] To better understand the vehicle storage device and automobile provided by this utility model, the vehicle storage device will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] This utility model provides a vehicle-mounted storage device, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the vehicle storage device 1 includes a housing 10 for mounting on a vehicle body, a box 11 mounted in the housing 10, a locking mechanism 12 mounted on the housing 10 and / or the box 11, and a return mechanism 13 connected to the box 11.

[0041] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a cavity is formed within the outer casing 10, and a first opening 101 is provided for the vehicle-mounted item 2 to pass through in the first direction X. Specifically, when the vehicle-mounted storage device 1 is installed on the vehicle body, the first opening 101 should face the vehicle cabin; a box 11 is disposed within the cavity, and a storage cavity is formed within the box 11 for storing the vehicle-mounted item 2; and as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the box body 11 has a second opening 111 opposite to the first opening 101. The second opening 111 is used for the vehicle-mounted item 2 to pass through in the first direction X to enter and exit the storage cavity. The box body 11 can slide relative to the outer shell 10 in the cavity along the first direction X to switch between a first position and a second position. In the first direction X, the box body 11 is further away from the first opening 101 in the second position than in the first position. That is, when the vehicle-mounted storage device 1 is installed on the vehicle body, the first position is closer to the vehicle cabin than the second position, where the first direction X is the direction from the vehicle cabin to the interior of the vehicle body.

[0042] The locking mechanism 12 can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking mechanism 12 is in the locked state, it locks the box 11 in the second position. When the locking mechanism 12 is in the unlocked state, the box 11 can slide between the second position and the first position in the cavity. When the locking mechanism 12 is in the unlocked state, the return mechanism 13 causes the box 11 to slide from the second position to the first position.

[0043] Using the vehicle storage device 1 provided by this utility model, when storing vehicle items 2, one end of the vehicle item 2 is inserted into the storage cavity of the box body 11 through the first opening 101 and the second opening 111. Under the action of pushing force, the vehicle item 2 and the box body 11 slide together into the vehicle body within the cavity of the outer shell 10. When sliding from the first position (the box body 11 is at the outermost edge of the cavity of the outer shell 10) to the second position (the box body 11 is at the innermost edge of the cavity of the outer shell 10), the locking mechanism 12 locks it. When removing the vehicle item 2, the locking mechanism 12 is unlocked, and the box body 11 is slid outward using the return mechanism 13. When sliding from the second position back to the first position, the vehicle item 2 is removed. Therefore, the storage process of the vehicle item 2 is simple to operate and convenient to take out and put away.

[0044] The specific structure of each component of the vehicle storage device 1 provided by this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0045] To facilitate the explanation of the structure of the vehicle-mounted storage device 1 of this utility model, as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, a first direction X, a second direction Z, and a third direction Y are defined. The first direction X is the direction along the vehicle cabin to the interior of the vehicle when the vehicle-mounted storage device 1 is installed in the vehicle body. The second direction Z and the third direction Y are mutually perpendicular and each perpendicular to the first direction X. The first direction X can be parallel to the length direction of the box 11 or the length direction of the outer shell 10; (See attached diagram) Figures 1-3 The diagram shows that the first direction X can be parallel to the length direction of the box 11, and the second direction Z can be the direction along the height of the car body when the vehicle storage device 1 is installed on the car body. The third direction Y is a direction that is perpendicular to both the first direction X and the second direction Z.

[0046] The outer casing 10 is designed according to the size of the items to be stored. In one specific embodiment, the vehicle storage device 1 is used to store a vehicle remote control. The first direction X is parallel to the length direction of the outer casing 10. The difference between the length of the cavity of the outer casing 10 and the length of the vehicle remote control is within a preset threshold range, that is, the length of the cavity is basically the same as the length of the vehicle remote control. Even if they are not the same length, the length of the cavity is only slightly greater than or slightly less than the length of the vehicle remote control. In this way, after the vehicle remote control is stored (the box 11 is in the second position), the front end is basically at the position of the first opening 101. When it is necessary to take out the vehicle remote control, when the box 11 reaches the first position, the front end of the vehicle remote control is exposed at the first opening 101, making it easy to take out.

[0047] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the outer casing 10 can be configured to include an upper casing 102, a lower casing 103, and an outer cover 104. The upper casing 102 is disposed on the upper side of the vehicle body, and the lower casing 103 is disposed on the lower side of the vehicle body. The upper casing 102 and the lower casing 103 can be fastened together by a plurality of circumferentially arranged buckles 105. Furthermore, the end of the outer casing 10 away from the first opening 101 is also provided with a connecting structure 106 for connecting with the interior of the vehicle body. Specifically, it can be two connecting structures 106 respectively disposed on both sides of the end away from the first opening 101. The outer cover 104 is disposed on the end facing the vehicle cabin. The outer cover 104 is provided with the first opening 101, and the outer cover 104 can be detachably connected to the vehicle body to facilitate the removal of the outer cover 104 and the removal of the box 11 inside.

[0048] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the box body 11 is smaller than the outer shell 10, allowing the box body 11 to slide within the cavity of the outer shell 10; and, in one specific embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle-mounted storage device 1 also includes a cover plate 14 and a second spring 15; as Figure 5 As shown, the cover plate 14 is rotatably connected to the position of the second opening 111 in the box body 11, so as to switch between the open position A and the closed position B; when the cover plate 14 is in the open position A, the cover plate 14 rotates into the storage cavity, opening the second opening 111; when the cover plate 14 is in the closed position, the second opening 111 is closed. The second spring 15 is disposed at the rotatable connection position between the cover plate 14 and the box body 11, providing a restoring force to rotate the cover plate 14 from the open position A outwards from the storage cavity to the closed position B.

[0049] Specifically, the cover plate 14 is connected to the box body 11 via a pivot. The second spring 15 is a torsion spring, sleeved on the outer circumference of the pivot, with one end of the torsion spring connected to the inner wall of the storage cavity and the other end connected to the inner wall of the cover plate 14. Furthermore, when the cover plate 14 flips inward (to the open position A), it can flip upward, downward, or to the sides. In this embodiment, for example… Figure 5 As shown, when the cover 14 is flipped inward, it flips downward. When the vehicle-mounted item 2 is placed in, it passes through the first opening 101 from the first direction X and pushes the cover 14, causing the cover 14 to flip inward to the open position A, opening the position of the second opening 111. The vehicle-mounted item 2 presses down on the cover 14 and slides to the second position along with the box body 11.

[0050] The locking mechanism 12 can be any structure capable of restricting the movement of the box 11 relative to the outer shell 10, and the locking mechanism 12 can be located near the first opening 101 or away from the first opening 101. In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the locking mechanism 12 includes a matching latch 121 and a labyrinth lock 122, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the latch 121 is located at the end of the box 11 away from the second opening 111, as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the maze lock 122 is located at the end of the outer shell 10 away from the first opening 101; more specifically, the maze lock 122 can be located in the middle of the outer wall of the end of the outer shell 10 away from the first opening 101, and the latch 121 is located in the middle of the outer wall of the end of the box 11 away from the second opening 111, and the outer shell 10 is provided with a hole through which the latch 121 can pass.

[0051] The locking mechanism 12 adopts a labyrinth lock 122, which has a simple structure and is easy to lock and unlock. In use, when the vehicle item 2 is placed in the box 11, the vehicle item 2 and the box 11 slide together in the cavity along the first direction X to the second position under the action of pushing force. At this time, the latch 121 passes through the hole, and the labyrinth lock 122 locks the latch 121. The locking mechanism 12 is in the locked state, and the box 11 is locked in the second position. When it is necessary to remove the vehicle item 2, a tool or hand is used to enter the box 11 through the first opening 101 and the second opening 111. The vehicle item 2 is pressed, and the latch 121 is disengaged from the labyrinth lock 122. The locking mechanism 12 is in the unlocked state. The return mechanism 13 allows the vehicle item 2 and the box 11 to slide together in the cavity to the first position.

[0052] The return mechanism 13 can be any structure that allows the box 11 to move relative to the outer shell 10 from the second position to the first position. For example, the return mechanism 13 may include a pull rope, with one end of the pull rope connected to the position of the second opening 111 on the box 11, and the other end of the pull rope located at the end of the outer shell 10 where the first opening 101 is located. Alternatively, the other end of the pull rope may be located outside the outer shell 10, so that the box 11 can move relative to the outer shell 10 by pulling the pull rope. Or, the other end of the pull rope may be connected to a transmission mechanism located outside the outer shell 10, so that the pull rope can be moved to the first position by manually operating the transmission mechanism, such as a knob.

[0053] An elastic return mechanism can also be provided on the housing 11, which uses the rebound force to move the housing 11 relative to the outer shell 10 from the second position to the first position. In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the return mechanism 13 includes at least one first spring 131; each first spring 131 extends along a first direction X, and the end of the first spring 131 away from the first opening 101 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the housing 11, and the end of the first spring 131 near the first opening 101 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the corresponding side of the outer casing 10; and when the locking mechanism 12 is in the locked state, the first spring 131 is in a stretched state (e.g., Figure 4 As shown). Specifically, it can be as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the return mechanism 13 includes two parallel and aligned first springs 131. Each first spring 131 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the box 11 at the lower end of the box 11 (when installed on the vehicle body) and relatively away from the second opening 111. Of course, the first spring 131 can also be installed above or to the side of the box 11, depending on the needs.

[0054] The aforementioned return mechanism 13 has a simple structure. When the vehicle-mounted item 2 and the box 11 slide together in the cavity from the first position to the second position, the first spring 131 provides resistance, improving the user experience. When the locking mechanism 12 is in the unlocked state, the first spring 131 has a pre-tightening force that becomes a contracted state. Under the action of the pre-tightening force, the box 11 automatically moves from the second position to the first position, making operation convenient.

[0055] Furthermore, based on the aforementioned return mechanism 13, in one specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle-mounted storage device 1 may also include a damping structure 16; the damping structure 16 includes a gear 161 disposed on the outer wall of one side of the housing 11 and a toothed structure 162 disposed on the inner wall of the housing 10. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the toothed structure 162 meshes with the gear 161. Specifically, the gear 161 can be disposed on one side of the first spring 131 disposed on the housing 11, or it can be disposed on different sides. The gear 161 protrudes from the outer wall of the housing 11 and is rotatable. The toothed structure 162 of the outer shell 10 is specifically a rack extending along the first direction X, which is correspondingly disposed and meshes with the gear 161.

[0056] When the vehicle-mounted item 2 and the box 11 slide from the first position to the second position, the damping structure 16 provides damping force, which, together with the resistance provided by the first spring 131, improves the user experience. When the locking mechanism 12 is in the unlocked state, the box 11 automatically moves from the second position to the first position under the preload of the first spring 131. Since the gear 161 meshes with the toothed structure 162, the movement of the box 11 drives the gear 161 to rotate and move relative to the toothed structure 162, providing a certain damping force during the movement of the box 11 from the second position to the first position, slowing down the movement time of the box 11, and thus improving the user experience. More specifically, it can be as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, gear 161 and first spring 131 are both located below the housing 11 (when located on the vehicle body), and gear 161 is closer to the second opening 111 than first spring 131, and gear 161 is located between the two first springs 131 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0057] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the vehicle storage device 1 also includes a locking structure 17, which stores the vehicle items 2 in the storage cavity. When the box 11 is in the second position, the locking structure 17 abuts against the vehicle items 2 to restrict the relative movement of the vehicle items 2 within the box 11.

[0058] Specifically, the locking structure 17 can be an elastic latching element installed on the box body 11, or it can be an elastic body such as rubber installed inside the box body 11. If the volume of the box body 11 is relatively large compared to the vehicle-mounted item 2, the vehicle-mounted item 2 stored in the box body 11 may experience problems such as bumping and abnormal noise due to not being properly secured. The locking structure 17 is provided to lock the vehicle-mounted item 2 in place, restricting the relative movement of the vehicle-mounted item 2 within the box body 11. This prevents the vehicle-mounted item 2 stored in the storage cavity from moving or colliding, thus avoiding problems such as abnormal noise, damage, or accidental activation.

[0059] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the engaging structure 17 includes a pressing member 171 disposed on at least one side of the housing 11 along the second direction Z; wherein the second direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X, that is, the second direction Z can be the vehicle height direction when disposed on a car, or the direction that is perpendicular to both the vehicle height direction and the direction from the car cabin to the interior of the vehicle. Figure 3 The second direction Z shown is the vehicle height direction. The crimping member 171 includes at least one first elastic portion 1711, each first elastic portion 1711 having a protruding end protruding towards the corresponding side of the housing 10. The elastic portion can specifically be a cantilever mechanism or a spring sheet, etc. The inner wall of the housing 10 along at least one side of the second direction Z is provided with: a first front inner wall surface, at least one first inclined surface 107, and a first rear inner wall surface sequentially arranged in the first direction X. The first front inner wall surface is closer to the first opening 101 in the first direction X than the first rear inner wall surface, and in the second... The first inclined surface 107 extends from the first front inner wall surface to the first rear inner wall surface in a direction inclined relative to the first direction X; at least one first inclined surface 107 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with at least one first elastic part 1711; and when the storage cavity contains the vehicle item 2 and the box 11 is in the second position, the protruding end of the first elastic part 1711 elastically abuts against the end of the first inclined surface 107 away from the first opening 101 or the first rear inner wall surface, so that the pressing member 171 presses the vehicle item 2.

[0060] When the box 11 slides from the second position to the first position, the protruding end of the first elastic part 1711 abuts against the end of the first inclined surface 107 near the first opening 101 or the first front inner wall surface, causing the pressing member 171 to release the loaded item 2.

[0061] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the crimping member 171 further includes a pressure plate 1713, which forms a portion of at least one sidewall of the housing 11 along the second direction Z away from the second opening 111, and can be as follows: Figure 3As shown, the pressure plate 1713 forms part of the wall of the box 11; each first elastic part 1711 is a first cantilever 17111, the first cantilever 17111 extends in a direction inclined relative to the first direction X, the fixed end of the first cantilever 17111 is fixedly connected to the end of the pressure plate 1713 near the second opening 111 and the free end is closer to the first opening 101, the end where the free end of the first cantilever 17111 is located forms a protruding end; the first cantilever 17111 has a second inclined surface 1712 inclined towards the outer shell 10 from the fixed end to the free end, the second inclined surface 1712 is used to cooperate with the first inclined surface 107. Preferably, it can be as follows: Figure 3 As shown, two first cantilever arms 17111 are provided.

[0062] Furthermore, when the storage cavity contains the vehicle-mounted item 2 and is in the second position, the free end of each first cantilever 17111 elastically abuts against the end of the first inclined surface 107 away from the first opening 101, causing each first cantilever 17111 and the pressure plate 1713 to deform and abut against the vehicle-mounted item 2; when the box body 11 slides relative to the outer shell 10 between the first position and the second position, the second inclined surface 1712 slides into contact with the first inclined surface 107.

[0063] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the engaging structure 17 includes a snap-fit ​​member 172 disposed on at least one side of the housing 11 along the third direction Y, wherein the third direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. When the engaging structure 17 further includes a pressing member 171 disposed on at least one side of the housing 11 along the second direction Z and a snap-fit ​​member 172 disposed on at least one side of the housing 11 along the third direction Y, the second direction Z is perpendicular to the third direction Y, and the third direction Y is parallel to the extension direction of the first opening 101. The snap-fit ​​member 172 includes a second elastic portion 1721, which has a protruding end that protrudes toward the side of the outer casing 10. The outer casing 10 is provided with at least one side along the third direction Y: a second front inner wall surface, a third inclined surface 108, and a second rear inner wall surface arranged sequentially in the first direction X. The second front inner wall surface is closer to the first opening 101 in the first direction X than the second rear inner wall surface, and farther away from the box body 11 in the third direction Y. The third inclined surface 108 extends gradually from the second front inner wall surface to the second rear inner wall surface in a direction that is inclined relative to the first direction X. The third inclined surface 108 is provided correspondingly to the second elastic portion 1721.

[0064] When the storage cavity holds the vehicle-mounted item 2 and the box body 11 is in the second position, the protruding end of the second elastic part 1721 elastically abuts against the end of the third inclined surface 108 away from the first opening 101 or the second rear inner wall surface, so that the locking member 172 presses the vehicle-mounted item 2; when the box body 11 slides from the second position to the first position, the protruding end of the second elastic part 1721 abuts against the end of the third inclined surface 108 near the first opening 101 or the second front inner wall surface, so that the locking member 172 releases the vehicle-mounted item 2.

[0065] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second elastic part 1721 is a second cantilever 17211. The second cantilever 17211 extends in a direction inclined relative to the first direction X. The free end of the second cantilever 17211 is closer to the first opening 101. The end of the free end of the second cantilever 17211 faces into the box 11 and has a rib 1722 facing the outer shell 10 in the middle. The rib 1722 forms a protruding end.

[0066] It should be noted that the locking structure 17 in this utility model includes a pressing member 171 disposed on at least one side of the box body 11 along the second direction, and / or, the locking structure 17 includes a locking member 172 disposed on at least one side of the box body 11 along the third direction; specifically, the locking structure 17 can be configured to have only one of the pressing member 171 or the locking member 172, disposed on at least one side of the box body 11; or it can be configured to have both the pressing member 171 and the locking member 172, with the pressing member 171 disposed on at least one side of the box body 11 along the second direction Z, and the locking member 172 disposed on at least one side of the box body 11 along the third direction Y. It should be noted that the location of the locking structure 17 should also consider avoiding the location of the return mechanism 13, and in the case of a damping structure 16, it should also consider avoiding the location of the damping structure 16, so as to avoid interference between the functions of different mechanisms. More specifically, as... Figures 3-4 As shown, the return mechanism 13 includes two first springs 131 and a damping structure 16 (including gears 161). The engaging structure 17 is configured to have both pressing members 171 and engaging members 172. The return mechanism 13 and the damping structure 16 are located on the lower side of the box body 11 in the height direction (on one side along the second direction Z). The pressing member 171 is located on the upper side of the box body 11 in the height direction (on the other side along the second direction Z). There are two engaging members 172, which are respectively located on both sides of the box body 11 in the width direction (on both sides along the third direction Y).

[0067] In one specific embodiment, one end of the vehicle remote control has a magnet; such as Figure 6As shown, the vehicle storage device 1 also includes a magnetic suction member 18 disposed on the end of the box 11 away from the second opening 111. More specifically, the magnetic suction member 18 may be disposed on the lower side of the box 11 in the height direction. During the process of the vehicle item 2 entering the storage cavity, under the magnetic attraction of the magnet and the magnetic suction member 18, the vehicle item 2 is completely inserted into the storage cavity.

[0068] In the above configuration, when storing vehicle-mounted items 2, the vehicle-mounted items 2 are inserted into the storage cavity of the box body 11 through the first opening 101 and the second opening 111. Under the magnetic attraction of the magnet on the vehicle-mounted items 2 and the magnetic attraction component 18 of the box body 11, the vehicle-mounted items 2 are completely inserted into the storage cavity. When the vehicle-mounted items 2 and the box body 11 slide together from the first position to the second position under the action of the thrust, the return mechanism 13 and the damping structure 16 provide resistance and damping force respectively. After reaching the second position, the pressing component 171 and the snap-fit ​​component 172 press together synchronously to fix the vehicle-mounted items 2 in the storage cavity, and the latch 121 snaps into the maze lock 122 to lock the box body 11, thus completing the storage action. When taking out the vehicle item 2, gently push the vehicle item 2 to disengage the maze lock 122 from the latch 121, thus unlocking it. The pre-tightening force of the return mechanism 13 causes the box 11 to slide from the second position to the first position. During the sliding process, the damping structure 16 provides damping force, and the pressing component 171 and the latching component 172 relax simultaneously, allowing the vehicle item 2 to relax into a free state in the storage cavity. When the box 11 reaches the first position, take out the vehicle item 2. Under the action of the second spring 15, the cover 14 returns to its original position to close the second opening 111, thus completing the retrieval of the vehicle item 2.
