Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a hook assembly, a storage box, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Storage compartments (such as glove boxes and glove compartments) are common functional components in vehicles and other means of transportation. To enhance ease of use, many storage compartments are also designed with hooks to allow users to temporarily hang items such as keys and shopping bags. The hooks are usually located near the opening of the storage compartment, and a rotating mechanism allows for switching between their external and internal storage states, balancing practicality and aesthetics.

[0003] However, existing hook structures are relatively complex. One end of a sheet metal connector is rotatably connected to the box body via a base pin, and the other end of the sheet metal connector is connected to the hook via a pivot, thus enabling the hook to flip. This structure has several limitations: First, since the base pin is immovable, the pivot must be positioned near the box opening, limiting the overall hook layout; second, when the box shape is complex, the sheet metal connector is difficult to fit well, affecting assembly accuracy and overall aesthetics; especially in the folded state, the hook surface is often higher than the inner surface of the box, making it difficult to achieve flush alignment. If forced to align the hook plane with the inner surface, the sheet metal connector needs to be lengthened, leading to reduced strength and affecting the concealment effect; furthermore, the sheet metal connector is prone to scratching the box surface during repeated use, causing cosmetic defects and reducing product quality.

This hook assembly eliminates the base pin and pivot, simplifying the structural design and eliminating the limitations imposed by the base pin and pivot positions. The connector arrangement is more flexible, effectively solving the problem of limited hook layout. Simultaneously, the flexible connector has strong deformation adaptability, better matching different shaped boxes, improving assembly adaptability, reducing assembly difficulty, and making it easier to achieve flush alignment between the hook surface and the box surface, improving the hook's concealment effect. Furthermore, the flexible material itself has good cushioning properties; during use, friction between the connector and the box surface will not cause scratches, effectively protecting the product's aesthetic appearance. In summary, by using a connector made of flexible material to connect the hook and the box, flexible switching of the hook between the inside and outside of the box is achieved, while simplifying the structure and improving aesthetics, adaptability, and durability.

Detailed Implementation

[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a hook assembly 100, including a hook 1 and a connector 2. The connector 2 includes a main body 21 and a first end 22 and a second end 23 connected to both ends of the main body 21. The first end 22 is connected to the hook 1, and the second end 23 is used for fixed connection within a housing 200. The connector 2 is made of a flexible material so that the hook 1 can be located outside the housing 200 (see...). Figure 3 ), and the box 200 inside (see Figure 4 ).

[0048] In this application's technical solution, utilizing the inherent deformation capability of flexible materials, the connector 2 can be bent or folded under external force, thereby enabling the hook 1 to flexibly switch between the inside and outside of the box 200, realizing the conversion between the hook 1's usage state and its storage state. This hook assembly 100 eliminates the base pin and pivot, simplifying the structural design and eliminating the limitations imposed by the base pin and pivot positions. The connector 2 can be arranged more flexibly, effectively solving the problem of limited hook 1 layout. Simultaneously, the flexible connector 2 has strong deformation adaptability, better matching different shaped boxes 200, improving assembly compatibility, reducing assembly difficulty, and making it easier to achieve flush alignment between the hook 1 surface and the box 200 surface, improving the hook 1's concealment effect. Furthermore, the flexible material itself has good cushioning properties; during use, friction between the connector 2 and the box 200 surface will not cause scratches, effectively protecting the product's aesthetic appearance. In summary, by using a connector 2 made of flexible material to connect the hook 1 and the box 200, the hook 1 can be flexibly switched between inside and outside the box 200, while simplifying the structure and improving aesthetics, adaptability and durability.

[0049] This application does not strictly limit the specific material of the connector 2, as long as it has a certain degree of flexibility and deformation capability, enabling the hook 1 to flexibly switch between inside and outside the box 200. For example, the material of the connector 2 can be a thermoplastic elastomer (such as TPE, TPU), which has good flexibility and wear resistance; it can also be silicone, which is soft, resistant to high and low temperatures and anti-aging properties, giving the connector 2 high safety; it can also be a flexible fabric material (such as nylon cloth, canvas), which is soft and durable and easily meets the requirements of lightweight design; in addition, the material of the connector 2 can also be a composite material (such as a rubber-fiber composite layer), which combines the strength of fibers and the flexibility of rubber, and can provide high load-bearing capacity.

[0050] This application does not specifically limit the way the first end 22 is connected to the hook 1. For example, the first end 22 and the hook 1 can be connected by bonding or overmolding.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the hook 1 has a through hole 11; the first end 22 passes through the through hole 11 to connect with the hook 1. In these embodiments, by inserting the first end 22 into the through hole 11 of the hook 1, the connection between the hook 1 and the connector 2 is achieved, providing a simple and easy-to-assemble connection method. This eliminates the need for complex machining or additional fastening structures, effectively reducing production costs and assembly difficulty, and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, this connection method ensures good connection stability between the hook 1 and the connector 2. Even when the hook 1 is subjected to a certain external force or suspended weight, a stable connection can be maintained, preventing detachment or loosening, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the hook assembly 100 during use.

[0052] This application does not impose specific restrictions on how the first end 22 is limited after passing through the through hole 11. In some examples, the end of the first end 22 facing away from the main body 21 is provided with an anti-detachment part, for example, by knotting to form a structure larger than the diameter of the through hole 11, so as to prevent the first end 22 from accidentally sliding out of the through hole 11 of the hook 1, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the hook 1 and the connector 2.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first end 22 includes a first segment 221, a middle segment 222, and a second segment 223 connected in sequence. The second segment 223 is connected to the main body 21, and the middle segment 222 passes through a through hole 11. The first segment 221 is also fixedly connected to the second segment 223. In these embodiments, the first segment 221 and the second segment 223 are connected through the middle segment 222, and the first segment 221 and the second segment 223 are also fixedly connected to each other, so that the first segment 221, the middle segment 222, and the second segment 223 together form a closed ring structure. The middle segment 222 passes through the through hole 11 of the hook 1. By forming a closed ring structure, even if the hook 1 is subjected to a large external force or a heavy object is suspended, it will not accidentally fall off or loosen. Because whether a pulling force is applied from one side or the other side of the through hole 11, it will be constrained by the ring structure, ensuring a reliable connection between the hook 1 and the connector 2. This closed-loop structure simplifies assembly by simply passing the middle section 222 through the through hole 11 of the hook 1 and then fixing the first section 221 and the second section 223 together. It eliminates the need for complex machining or additional fasteners 3, greatly simplifying the assembly process and reducing production costs and assembly difficulty. Because the closed-loop structure can be adapted to hook 1 through holes 11 of different thicknesses by adjusting the fixed positions of the first section 221 and the second section 223, it offers high versatility and adaptability, making it suitable for hook 1 designs of various specifications and shapes.

[0054] This application does not limit the specific method of achieving a fixed connection between the first segment 221 and the second segment 223, as long as a stable closed-loop structure can be formed. In some examples, the first segment 221 and the second segment 223, made of flexible materials (such as fabric, webbing, etc.), can be fixedly connected by sewing. In other examples, the first segment 221 and the second segment 223 are bonded together by applying glue or using double-sided tape. In still other examples, a heating device is used to soften and fuse the contact area between the first segment 221 and the second segment 223, made of thermoplastic materials (such as TPE, TPU, etc.), and a strong connection is formed after cooling.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the second end 23 is provided with a connecting hole 231, and the hook assembly 100 also includes a fastener 3. The fastener 3 passes through the connecting hole 231 and is used to connect with the housing 200 to fix the second end 23 to the housing 200. In these embodiments, the fastener 3 (such as screws, rivets, etc.) achieves a fixed connection between the connector 2 and the housing 200. The fastener 3 passes through the connecting hole 231 of the second end 23 and cooperates with the housing 200, which can provide a reliable structural connection, so that the hook assembly 100 remains stable when subjected to external pulling or vibration, and is not easy to loosen or fall off, thereby effectively improving the reliability and safety of the overall structure. This method can use standardized fastening components, which is convenient for mass production and assembly operations, and is compatible with the structure of the housing 200 of various materials, such as plastic, metal or composite materials, with good versatility and wide applicability. At the same time, this connection method has low requirements for the molding process of the housing 200, does not require complex structural design, and only needs to reserve the installation hole to complete the assembly, reducing the manufacturing difficulty and production cost. Furthermore, when maintenance or replacement of the hook assembly 100 is required, quick separation can be achieved simply by removing the fastener 3, which is easy to operate and beneficial for later maintenance and product iteration.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the second end portion 23 includes a body portion 232 and a reinforcing portion 233, with the reinforcing portion 233 passing through the body portion 232 and having a connecting hole 231. In these embodiments, by embedding the reinforcing portion 233 in the body portion 232, the area where the connecting hole 231 is located has higher structural strength and resistance to deformation. This effectively disperses stress concentration during the insertion and fixing of the fastener 3 to the housing 200, preventing material tearing or connection failure due to excessive force.

[0057] In some examples, the reinforcing part 233 can be made of rigid materials such as metal or high-strength plastic to enhance its load-bearing capacity and wear resistance, and be able to withstand greater external forces, while the body part 232 can be made of flexible material, consistent with the material of other parts of the connector 2, so as to ensure the overall flexibility and deformation capacity, while achieving functional reinforcement of key parts through local reinforcement.

[0058] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the reinforcing portion 233 includes a first portion 2331 and a second portion 2332. The first portion 2331 passes through the body portion 232, and the second portion 2332 is located on one side of the body portion 232, extending away from the center of the connecting hole 231 (see also...). Figure 6 In these embodiments, by dividing the reinforcing portion 233 into two parts, the overall strength and stability of the second end portion 23 can be significantly improved. Specifically, the first portion 2331 is embedded inside the body portion 232, enhancing the local rigidity and tensile strength around the connecting hole 231, effectively preventing material tearing or deformation caused by external forces applied by the fastener 3; while the second portion 2332 extends outward, increasing the stress-bearing area and support range, further dispersing stress concentration, and improving the load-bearing capacity and durability of the overall structure.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the second end 23 is further provided with a positioning hole 234, which is used to cooperate with a positioning pin 211 provided on the housing 200 to position the second end 23 on the housing 200 (see reference). Figure 8 In these embodiments, the precise positioning between the connector 2 and the housing 200 is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning hole 234 and the positioning pin 211, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the hook assembly 100 during installation. Specifically, the cooperation of the positioning hole 234 and the positioning pin 211 effectively prevents the connector 2 from shifting or misaligning during installation, thereby ensuring that the fastener 3 can accurately pass through the connecting hole 231 and be firmly fixed, improving assembly accuracy and reliability. In addition, this positioning mechanism simplifies the assembly process, reduces the need for manual adjustment, improves production efficiency, and avoids stress concentration or structural failure caused by positional deviations during use, further enhancing the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0060] Please see Figure 1In some embodiments, the hook assembly 100 further includes a positioning element 4, which is installed on the housing 200 and used to position the hook 1. It is understood that since the connector 2 is made of a flexible material, it can bend or fold under external force to move the hook 1 between the inside and outside of the housing 200. Therefore, in actual use, there may be problems with the position of the hook 1 shifting or becoming unstable due to flexible deformation. In these embodiments, by setting the positioning element 4, the hook 1 can be effectively limited when it is in use or stored, ensuring that it is always in the preset position, improving the convenience of use or the neatness of storage. Furthermore, the hook 1 itself usually has a certain degree of rigidity. Without positioning constraints, it is prone to unnecessary displacement or even collision with other components due to shaking or external force in the flexible connection state, affecting the user experience or causing cosmetic damage. The introduction of the positioning element 4 can effectively prevent such situations from occurring, improving the safety and reliability of the overall structure by limiting its position.

[0061] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the positioning member 4 includes a first positioning member 41, which is disposed at a first position on the housing 200 to limit the hook 1 outside the housing 200 (see reference). Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In these embodiments, by providing a first positioning element 41 at a first position on the housing 200, the hook 1 in use can be effectively limited, ensuring that it is stably maintained at a preset position outside the housing 200. This structure avoids positional shifts or swaying problems caused by flexible connections, providing users with a more stable support experience when hanging items.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the positioning member 4 includes a second positioning member 42, which is disposed at a second position in the housing 200 to confine the hook 1 within the housing 200 (see also...). Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In these embodiments, a second positioning element 42 is provided at the second position of the box 200 to ensure that the hook 1 can be stably stored in the box 200 when not in use, avoiding positional displacement or shaking caused by the flexible connection, and avoiding affecting the normal use of the storage space.

[0063] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the positioning member 4 includes a first positioning member 41 and a second positioning member 42. The first positioning member 41 is positioned at a first position on the housing 200 to limit the hook 1 outside the housing 200 (see reference). Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10The second positioning element 42 is used to be disposed at a second position in the housing 200 to confine the hook 1 within the housing 200 (see reference). Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In these embodiments, positioning elements 4 are provided at different positions on the housing 200 to define the usage and storage states of the hook 1, achieving bidirectional precise positioning of the hook 1 in both states. Through this structure, the hook 1 can be stably positioned outside the housing 200 when unfolded for use, providing good support; while when retracted, it can accurately reside inside the housing 200 and maintain its storage state, improving overall aesthetics and space utilization.

[0064] In some embodiments, the positioning element 4 includes a first magnetic object, and the hook 1 includes a second magnetic object; the first and second magnetic objects are magnetically attracted to each other. In these embodiments, magnetic positioning eliminates the need for complex mechanical locking devices. The user simply brings the hook 1 close to the predetermined position, and the magnetic force automatically attracts it into place, greatly simplifying the operation and improving ease of use. Magnetic positioning is particularly efficient and practical in scenarios where usage states are frequently switched. Furthermore, since there are no mechanically worn parts, magnetic positioning reduces the risk of aging or failure that may occur with traditional snap-fit ​​structures, extending the product's lifespan. In addition, magnetic positioning eliminates the need for additional protruding parts or complex assembly structures, maintaining a simple and aesthetically pleasing product appearance.

[0065] This application does not limit the specific forms of the first and second magnetic objects, as long as they can be magnetically attracted and fixed together. In some embodiments, the first magnetic object can be a permanent magnet (such as a magnet), and the second magnetic object can be a magnetic material or a metal material that can be attracted by a magnet (such as iron, nickel, steel, etc.). For example, in one specific embodiment, the positioning element 4 is a magnet, and the hook 1 is made of a metal material that can be attracted by a magnet. When the hook 1 approaches the positioning element 4, the two automatically attract and fix under the action of magnetic force, realizing stable positioning of the hook 1 in the use state or the hidden state. In other embodiments, both the first and second magnetic objects can be magnets, and they have opposite polarities to achieve a stronger attraction force.

[0066] Please see Figures 3 to 5 According to a second aspect of this application, a storage box 1000 is provided, including a box body 200 and a hook assembly 100. The structure of the hook assembly 100 is as described above. Since the storage box 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0067] Please see Figures 3 to 5In some embodiments, the housing 200 includes a base plate 210 and an outer plate 220 disposed on one side of the base plate 210; the base plate 210 is provided with a through hole 212 (see reference). Figure 6 The second end 23 is located between the base plate 210 and the outer plate 220, and the main body 21 protrudes through the through hole 212. In these embodiments, by concealing the second end 23 between the base plate 210 and the outer plate 220, a stable installation of the connector 2 is achieved, while avoiding exposure of the connection structure and improving the overall neatness and aesthetics. The design of the main body 21 protruding through the through hole 212 allows the connector 2 to be stored in the hook 1 within the housing 200 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown), and moves to the outside of the box 200 by bending or folding the connector 2, thereby realizing the use state of the hook 1 (as shown). Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 (As shown). This design makes full use of the internal space of the 200-cell enclosure, improving the rationality of the layout.

[0068] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the substrate 210 includes a base portion 213 and a connecting portion 214. The base portion 213 is disposed opposite to the outer plate 220, and the connecting portion 214 is disposed between the base portion 213 and the outer plate 220 and connected to the connecting portion 214. The connecting portion 214 is provided with a through hole 212. In these embodiments, the through hole 212 is disposed in the connecting portion 214 instead of the base portion 213, so that the connector 2 can pass through along the side wall direction of the housing 200 instead of perpendicular to the outer plate 220. This makes it easier to install and guide the connector 2. When the connector 2 extends along the housing wall direction, its bending path is more natural and the stress distribution is more uniform. This reduces the stress concentration problem caused by excessive bending angle, helps to extend the service life of the flexible connector 2, and improves the stability and smoothness of the hook 1 during use.

[0069] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the substrate 210 further includes a first edge portion 215, which is bent and connected to the end of the connecting portion 214 away from the base portion 213 and extends toward the side away from the base portion 213. In these embodiments, by providing the first edge portion 215, the connector 2 protruding from the connecting portion 214 can be effectively concealed, allowing the hook 1 and the connector 2 to be better hidden inside the housing 200 when not in use, thus improving the overall neatness and aesthetics.

[0070] Please see Figure 6In some embodiments, the outer panel 220 includes a panel body 2201 and a second edge portion 2202. The panel body 2201 and the base portion 213 are disposed opposite to each other and connected to the connecting portion 214. The second edge portion 2202 is connected to the end where the panel body 2201 is connected to the connecting portion 214. In these embodiments, the second edge portion 2202 can cooperate with the base plate 210 to enhance the connection strength and overall rigidity between the outer panel 220 and the base plate 210. At the same time, the second edge portion 2202 forms a transition structure at the intersection of the outer panel 220 and the connecting portion 214, which helps guide the winding path of the connector 2 and improves the support stability, further optimizing the smoothness of movement and structural reliability of the hook assembly 100, making the hook 1 more stable and smooth during unfolding and storage, improving the user's operating experience and product durability.

[0071] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the substrate 210 has a groove 216 on the side opposite to the outer plate 220, and the hook 1 can be accommodated in the groove 216 (e.g. Figure 4 (As shown). In these embodiments, the groove 216 provides a dedicated space for the hook 1 when it is stored, allowing the hook 1 to be completely embedded under the surface of the substrate 210, avoiding it from protruding from the inner wall of the box 200 and affecting the utilization rate of the storage space; at the same time, this design improves the flatness and aesthetics of the hook 1 after it is hidden, and also reduces the risk of the hook 1 being damaged by accidental collisions, thereby enhancing the overall structural rationality and safety of the product.

[0072] According to a third aspect of this application, a vehicle is provided, including a storage box 1000. The structure of the storage box 1000 is as described above. Since this vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0073] The vehicle may be a gasoline-powered vehicle, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, etc., and this disclosure does not make any specific restrictions.

[0074] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.
