Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a vehicle front trunk and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, due to the limitations of their material properties, magnets may corrode when installed in vehicles due to environmental factors, leading to irreversible attenuation of magnetic attraction force. This can result in the inability to meet the designed magnetic load-bearing requirements, thus affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This disclosure aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure provide a vehicle front trunk, comprising: a trunk body, a sealing frame, and a magnet, wherein the sealing frame is connected to the trunk body and defines a sealed cavity between the sealing frame and the trunk body, and the magnet is disposed within the sealed cavity. The vehicle front trunk according to embodiments of this disclosure can protect the magnet and reduce the attenuation of its magnetic force.

[0005] In some embodiments, a sealant surrounding the magnet is provided between the sealing frame and the housing. The sealant fills the gap between the sealing frame and the housing, thereby preventing external moisture from easily entering the sealed cavity and further reducing the possibility of magnet corrosion.

[0006] In some embodiments, the sealing frame has a sealing groove, the magnet is disposed within the sealing groove, and the sealing ring is disposed on the outer periphery of the sealing groove. This can improve the installation efficiency of the magnet and the sealing frame.

[0007] In some embodiments, there are multiple sealing grooves arranged at lateral intervals along the sealing frame, and multiple magnets are disposed one-to-one within each of the multiple sealing grooves. This reduces the difficulty of magnet installation and increases the area of ​​the magnetic attraction region.

[0008] In some embodiments, the sealing frame includes a first adhesive portion protruding toward the housing, the first adhesive portion having a first adhesive surface surrounding the sealing groove, and the sealant being disposed on the first adhesive surface. This reduces installation difficulty and improves installation efficiency.

[0009] In some embodiments, the sealing frame further includes a plurality of second adhesive portions protruding toward the housing, each second adhesive portion having a second adhesive surface that is bonded to the housing. This ensures a secure connection between the sealing frame and the housing.

[0010] In some embodiments, the sealing groove is provided with mounting ribs and positioning ribs. The mounting ribs engage with the outer peripheral surface of the magnet, and the outer peripheral surface of the magnet includes a positioning surface. The positioning ribs engage with the positioning surface of the magnet. This facilitates the positioning of the magnet's position and its front and back sides.

[0011] In some embodiments, the sealing frame is disposed on the side of the enclosure near the passenger compartment, the sealing frame has a positioning groove, and the enclosure is provided with a positioning element that mates with the positioning groove. This facilitates the installation of magnets into a preset position.

[0012] In some embodiments, the positioning element is formed by a reinforcing rib on the outer side of the housing; the reinforcing rib is located within the positioning groove, and / or the groove wall of the positioning groove is provided with welding holes, a portion of the reinforcing rib passing through the welding holes and welded to the sealing frame. This reduces production difficulty and improves production efficiency.

[0013] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the top edge of the sealing frame is bent outward to form a connecting portion, which is connected to an outwardly extending flange on the top edge of the housing by screws. A reinforcing groove is provided at the bend in the top edge of the sealing frame. The edge of the sealing frame has a side portion extending toward the housing, which abuts against the housing. This reduces the entry of external moisture into the sealing frame, thereby further reducing the corrosion of the magnet.

[0014] An embodiment of this disclosure includes a vehicle front trunk with a magnetically attached night light assembly that is responsive to illumination and attracted to the magnet. The night light assembly provides responsive illumination.

[0015] Embodiments of this disclosure also provide a vehicle including a front trunk, said front trunk being the aforementioned vehicle front trunk. This makes the magnets on the front trunk of the vehicle according to embodiments of this disclosure less prone to corrosion and extends the lifespan of the magnets.

[0016] In some embodiments, the sealing frame and the magnet are located on the side of the front trunk near the passenger compartment. This creates a magnetic attraction area on the side of the front trunk near the passenger compartment and reduces the corrosion of the magnet 3. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, with examples of these embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0029] The front trunk of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the front trunk of a vehicle according to an embodiment of this disclosure includes a box body 2, a sealing frame 1, and a magnet 3.

[0030] The sealing frame 1 is connected to the housing 2, and a sealing cavity is defined between the sealing frame 1 and the housing 2. The magnet 3 is disposed within the sealing cavity. This allows the sealing frame 1 and the housing 2 to seal and protect the magnet 3, thereby reducing corrosion of the magnet 3, minimizing the attenuation of its magnetic force, ensuring the magnet 3 meets the designed magnetic load-bearing requirements, and extending its service life. For example, the sealing frame 1 is connected to the outer surface of the housing 2.

[0031] Therefore, the front trunk of the vehicle according to the embodiments of this disclosure can protect the magnet 3 and reduce the attenuation of the magnetic force of the magnet 3.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a sealant 4 is provided between the sealing frame 1 and the housing 2, surrounding the magnet 3. This allows the sealant 4 to fill the gap between the sealing frame 1 and the housing 2, preventing external moisture from easily entering the sealed cavity, thereby further reducing the possibility of corrosion of the magnet 3.

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the sealing frame 1 has a sealing groove 11, the magnet 3 is disposed within the sealing groove 11, and the sealant 4 is arranged around the outer periphery of the sealing groove 11. Specifically, the sealing groove 11 is used to place the magnet 3. The magnet 3 is first installed into the sealing groove 11, and then the sealing frame 1 is bonded to the housing 2 by the sealant 4. The magnet 3 is attached to the housing 2, so that the sealing groove 11, the sealant 4, and the housing 2 define a sealing cavity for accommodating the magnet 3. This improves the installation efficiency of the magnet 3 and the sealing frame 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, there are multiple sealing grooves 11 arranged at intervals along the lateral direction of the sealing frame 1, and multiple magnets 3 are provided one-to-one in the multiple sealing grooves 11. Specifically, there are multiple sealing grooves 11 and multiple magnets 3, thereby forming multiple magnetic attraction areas on the housing 2, which increases the area of ​​the magnetic attraction areas. Compared with setting a large magnet, setting multiple small magnets 3 can reduce the installation difficulty of the magnets 3 and facilitate the adaptation and adhesion of the magnets 3 to the surface of the housing 2. For example, if the lateral direction of the sealing frame 1 is horizontal, two magnets 3 are provided one-to-one in two sealing grooves 11 spaced apart in the horizontal direction.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the sealing frame 1 includes a first adhesive portion 12 protruding towards the housing 2. The first adhesive portion 12 has a first adhesive surface 121 surrounding the sealing groove 11, and sealant 4 is disposed on the first adhesive surface 121. Specifically, the first adhesive surface 121 faces the housing 2, and both the first adhesive portion 12 and the first adhesive surface 121 are annular structures surrounding the sealing groove 11. The sealant 4 can be first bonded to the first adhesive surface 121 and then bonded to the housing 2 to reduce installation difficulty and improve installation efficiency. For example, the sealant 4 is double-sided adhesive.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the sealing frame 1 further includes a plurality of second adhesive portions 13 protruding toward the housing 2. Each second adhesive portion 13 has a second adhesive surface 131, which is bonded to the housing 2. Specifically, the sealing frame 1 can be connected to the housing 2 via adhesive on the second adhesive surface 131, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the sealing frame 1 and the housing 2. The plurality of second adhesive portions 13 are located outside and adjacent to the corresponding first adhesive portions 12 to reduce the likelihood of the sealant 4 coming unglued. For example, the adhesive is double-sided tape. Alternatively, a corresponding second adhesive portion 13 may be provided below the first adhesive portion 12, or between two first adhesive portions 12. The second adhesive surface 131 is a rectangular surface facing the housing 2.

[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the sealing groove 11 is provided with mounting ribs 14 and positioning ribs 15. The mounting ribs 14 engage with the outer peripheral surface of the magnet 3. The outer peripheral surface of the magnet 3 includes a positioning surface, and the positioning ribs 15 engage with the positioning surface of the magnet 3. Specifically, the positioning surface of the magnet 3 is a mistake-proof / foolproof design on the magnet 3, which facilitates the positioning of the magnet 3 and its front and back sides, so that the magnet is designed with the "N" position facing the preset surface. Only when the positioning ribs 15 engage with the positioning surface of the magnet 3 can the magnet 3 be placed into the sealing groove 11 and engaged with the positioning ribs 15, so as to complete the positioning and installation of the magnet 3. For example, the positioning surface of the magnet 3 is a notch at the corner of the magnet 3.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the sealing frame 1 is located on the side of the housing 2 near the passenger compartment. The sealing frame 1 has a positioning groove 16, and the housing 2 is provided with a positioning element that mates with the positioning groove 16. Specifically, the positioning element is located on the side of the housing 2 near the passenger compartment, and the positioning groove 16 of the sealing frame 1 mates with the positioning element of the housing 2, which can position the sealing frame 1 and the magnet 3, thereby facilitating the installation of the magnet 3 into a preset position. For example, the sealing frame 1 is located on the rear side (back side) of the housing 2. The sealing frame 1 is located on the outer side of the housing 2.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning element is formed by reinforcing ribs 21 on the outer side of the housing 2. By utilizing the inherent reinforcing structure of the housing 2 as the positioning element, the number of components on the housing 2 can be reduced, thereby reducing production difficulty and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, it can maintain the consistency and stability of product quality throughout the vehicle's lifecycle without sacrificing the structural strength of the housing 2.

[0040] The reinforcing rib 21 is located within the positioning groove 16. Specifically, when the positioning groove 16 of the sealing frame 1 is engaged with the reinforcing rib 21 of the housing 2, the magnet 3 can be installed in a preset position.

[0041] In some embodiments, the positioning groove 16 has welding holes 161 on its groove wall, and a portion of the reinforcing rib 21 passes through the welding holes 161 and is welded to the sealing frame 1. Specifically, a portion of the reinforcing rib 21 extends out of the positioning groove 16, and then this portion of the reinforcing rib 21 is welded to the ribs around the welding holes 161, thereby connecting the sealing frame 1 to the reinforcing rib 21, making the connection between the sealing frame 1 and the housing 2 more stable. For example, the reinforcing rib 21 (generally) extends in the vertical direction, the lower groove wall of the positioning groove 16 has welding holes 161, and the sealing frame 1 has ribs on both sides of the welding holes 161 that are welded to the reinforcing rib 21.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the top edge of the sealing frame 1 is bent outward to form a connecting portion 17, which is connected to an outwardly extending flange 22 on the top edge of the housing 2 by screws 5. Specifically, the connecting portion 17 has a connecting hole through which the screw 5 passes and is threaded to a connecting post on the lower surface of the flange 22 of the housing 2, so that the sealing frame 1 can be fixed to the housing 2 by the screws 5. A reinforcing groove 171 is provided at the bend of the top edge of the sealing frame 1, thereby improving the structural strength of the sealing frame 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, the sealing frame 1 has a side portion 18 extending toward the housing 2 along its edge, and the side portion 18 abuts against the housing 2. Specifically, the sealing frame 1 includes a sealing body and a connecting portion 17. The edges of both the sealing body and the connecting portion 17 are provided with a side portion 18 extending toward the housing 2. The side portion 18 abuts against the outer surface of the housing 2, thereby reducing the entry of external moisture into the sealing frame 1, so as to further reduce the corrosion of the magnet 3.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the vehicle's front trunk includes a magnetically attached night light assembly that is capable of sensing illumination and is attracted to a magnet 3. For example, the night light assembly is located inside the trunk 2 and is attracted to the magnet 3 across the trunk 2, thereby being positioned at a predetermined location within the trunk 2 to provide inductive illumination. Alternatively, the night light assembly is located outside the trunk 2 and is attracted to the magnet 3.

[0045] Embodiments of this disclosure also propose a vehicle including a front trunk. The front trunk is the vehicle's front trunk according to this disclosure. This makes the magnet 3 on the front trunk less prone to corrosion and extends its service life. The trunk has a magnetic function, supporting the attachment of magnetic components, such as a sensor-activated night light for providing front cabin lighting, making the vehicle more personalized and customizable, increasing playability and expansion possibilities, and enhancing the user experience.

[0046] In some embodiments, the sealing frame 1 and the magnet 3 are located on the side of the front trunk near the passenger compartment. That is, the sealing frame 1 is located on the outer surface of the front trunk near the passenger compartment, thereby forming a magnetic attraction area on the side of the front trunk near the passenger compartment. The magnet 3 is located in the vehicle's wet environment, which is a severely corrosive area as defined by the vehicle. The sealing frame 1 cooperates with the housing 2 to seal the magnet 3, thereby reducing the corrosion of the magnet 3.
