Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0027] In related technologies, during vehicle use, umbrellas with rainwater or wet garbage generated inside the vehicle are usually inconvenient to store, and leaving them lying around may dirty the vehicle interior.
[0028] Based on the above, a first aspect of this application provides a drawer 10 for an armrest box. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1 to 4 The drawer 10 includes a housing 11 and a folding drawer 12. The housing 11 has a receiving groove 112a. The housing 11 is movably disposed in the armrest box. The folding drawer 12 is disposed within the receiving groove 112a. The folding drawer 12 is configured to retract into the receiving groove 112a and extend out of the receiving groove 112a.
[0029] It should be noted that the drawer 10 in this application can be installed in the armrest box or in any other location inside the vehicle, and there are no restrictions on this.
[0030] For example, the drawer 10 in this application can be located in the armrest box of the center console, that is, in the position between the driver's seat and the passenger seat.
[0031] Furthermore, the drawer 10 in this application can be located behind the armrest box of the center console and below the air conditioning vent of the armrest box of the center console.
[0032] For example, a storage drawer is provided behind the armrest box of the center console of the vehicle. The storage drawer can be pulled out backward along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The drawer 10 in this application is located below the storage drawer, which can make reasonable use of the space below the storage drawer and does not affect the storage needs of the upper drawer.
[0033] Drawer 10 includes a housing 11 and a folding bin 12. The housing 11 is movably mounted on the armrest box, meaning it can slide to the armrest box, allowing the drawer 10 to extend and retract to close. The folding bin 12 is used to store items such as rain-soaked umbrellas, trash or liquids generated inside the vehicle.
[0034] The housing 11 has a receiving groove 112a, and the folding bucket 12 is disposed in the receiving groove 112a. When the housing 11 extends out of the armrest box, the folding bucket 12 can be exposed in the receiving groove 112a, which is conducive to the user's awareness and use of the folding bucket 12, and can be used to store garbage or other items, which can improve the experience of the occupants. When the housing 11 retracts into the armrest box, the folding bucket 12 can retract into the armrest box along with the housing 11, and the folding bucket 12 can be hidden in the armrest box without affecting or occupying the space inside the vehicle.
[0035] It should be noted that the receiving groove 112a is used to provide positioning and support for the folding barrel 12. The groove wall of the receiving groove 112a and the folding barrel 12 can be detachably connected or non-detachably connected, and there is no limitation here.
[0036] The folding bucket 12 is configured to retract into the receiving slot 112a and extend out of the receiving slot 112a. In other words, the user can selectively change the shape of the folding bucket 12. The folding bucket 12 can reduce its own space occupation by folding, thereby retracting into the receiving slot 112a, making it easier to retract the drawer 10 into the armrest box and close it. The folding bucket 12 can also be unfolded and extended out of the receiving slot 112a, thereby increasing the holding space of the folding bucket 12 and increasing the applicable scenarios of the folding bucket 12.
[0037] The drawer 10 provided in this application embodiment has a receiving groove 112a formed by the housing 11, and the folding bucket 12 is disposed in the receiving groove 112a. So when the housing 11 extends out of the armrest box, the folding bucket 12 can be exposed in the receiving groove 112a, which is conducive to the user's awareness and use of the folding bucket 12, and can be used to store garbage or other items, which can improve the experience of the occupants in the vehicle. When the housing 11 retracts into the armrest box, the folding bucket 12 can retract into the armrest box along with the housing 11, and the folding bucket 12 can be hidden in the armrest box without affecting or occupying the space inside the vehicle. Meanwhile, the folding bucket 12 is configured to retract into the receiving slot 112a and extend out of the receiving slot 112a. In this way, the user can selectively change the shape of the folding bucket 12. The folding bucket 12 can reduce its own space occupation by folding, thereby retracting into the receiving slot 112a, making it easier for the drawer 10 to retract into the armrest box and close. The folding bucket 12 can also be unfolded and extended out of the receiving slot 112a, thereby increasing the holding space of the folding bucket 12 and increasing the applicable scenarios of the folding bucket 12.
[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The housing 11 includes a main body 111 and a base 112. A mounting groove 111a is formed within the main body 111. The base 112 is disposed within the mounting groove 111a. A storage groove 11a is defined between the outer periphery of the base 112 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 111a. A receiving groove 112a is formed in the base 112.
[0039] The mounting groove 111a formed within the main body 111 is used to mount the base 112. The base 112 and the mounting groove 111a can be fixedly connected or movably connected, and there is no limitation here.
[0040] In this embodiment, a storage slot 11a is defined between the outer periphery of the base 112 and the wall of the mounting slot 111a. The base 112 has a receiving slot 112a. Thus, by setting the base 112 in the mounting slot 111a, the space inside the main body 111 is divided into the receiving slot 112a and the storage slot 11a formed on the base 112. In addition to the receiving slot 112a used to set the folding bucket 12, extra storage space is added. The storage slot 11a can be used to store other items, which is convenient for storage and classification, and can improve the storage capacity and space utilization of the drawer 10.
[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The shape of the groove wall of the receiving groove 112a is adapted to the outer wall of the folding barrel 12 so that the outer wall of the folding barrel 12 fits the groove wall of the receiving groove 112a.
[0042] The shape of the folding barrel 12 is not limited and can be cylindrical, prismatic, etc.
[0043] Here, by adapting the shape of the groove wall of the receiving groove 112a to the outer wall of the folding barrel 12, the outer wall of the folding barrel 12 is made to fit with the groove wall of the receiving groove 112a. The groove wall of the receiving groove 112a can provide a certain support and limit for the outer wall of the folding barrel 12, and can provide stability and reliability for fixing the folding barrel 12 with the receiving groove 112a.
[0044] In one embodiment, the base 112 is slidably disposed within the mounting groove 111a.
[0045] The base 112 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove 111a, which means that the base 112 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 111a form a sliding fit.
[0046] For example, one of the base 112 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 111a forms a slide rail, and the other forms a slide groove. The base 112 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 111a form a sliding fit with the slide rail through the slide groove.
[0047] For example, the sliding direction of the base 112 is the same as the sliding direction of the housing 11 relative to the armrest box. In this way, when the user does not need to use the folding bucket 12, the base 112 can be driven to slide towards the inside of the armrest box, hiding the folding bucket 12 inside the drawer 10, so that the storage slot 11a is switched to the outside, which is beneficial for the user to use the storage slot 11a on the outside for storage.
[0048] Here, the base 112 is slidably set in the mounting groove 111a, and the position of the base 112 in the mounting groove 111a can be changed, thereby changing the position of the folding bucket 12, which helps to improve the storage flexibility of the drawer 10.
[0049] In another embodiment, the base 112 is integrally formed with the main body 111.
[0050] In other words, the base 112 is fixedly connected to the main body 111. Thus, by integrally molding the base 112 and the main body 111, the manufacturing difficulty of the drawer 10 can be reduced, saving production costs. At the same time, the connection strength between the base 112 and the main body 111 is higher.
[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The storage compartment 11a and the receiving compartment 112a are arranged in a first direction. The drawer 10 includes a handle 13 disposed at one end of the housing 11 along the first direction. Along the first direction, the base 112 is located at the end near the handle 13.
[0052] It should be noted that the first direction can be parallel to the direction of movement of the housing 11 relative to the armrest box.
[0053] The handle 13 is located at one end of the housing 11 along the first direction, which is convenient for the user to drive the housing 11 through the handle 13 to pull the drawer 10 out of the armrest box or push the drawer 10 into the armrest box.
[0054] Here, the base 112 is integrally formed with the main body 111. The base 112 is located at one end near the handle 13, so that the folding bucket 12 is closer to the handle 13. This makes it easier for the base 112 to be exposed outside the drawer 10 when the user pulls out part of the drawer 10 through the handle 13, so that the folding bucket 12 on the base 112 can be used.
[0055] For example, when there are other drawers 10 above the drawer 10 in this application, when the drawer above the drawer 10 in this application is pulled out, the base 112 near the handle 13 of the drawer 10 in this application is more easily exposed, thereby improving the flexibility of using the folding bucket 12.
[0056] In one embodiment, the folding barrel 12 is detachably disposed within the receiving groove 112a.
[0057] It should be noted that the method of detachable connection between the folding barrel 12 and the wall of the receiving groove 112a is not limited. For example, fastener connection, snap-fit, threaded connection, etc.
[0058] For example, the folding bucket 12 can be detached and used to collect water, serving as a water bucket.
[0059] Here, the folding bucket 12 is detachably connected to the wall of the receiving slot 112a, so that the folding bucket 12 can be detached and used independently, which can improve the flexibility of the use of the folding bucket 12 and increase the usage scenarios of the folding bucket 12. At the same time, the folding bucket 12 can also be installed and fixed in the receiving slot 112a to hold garbage or other items, thereby realizing the multi-functional use of the folding bucket 12.
[0060] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 4 The folding barrel 12 is connected to the wall of the receiving groove 112a by Velcro 14.
[0061] Hook and loop fastener 14, also known as hook and loop tape or zip fastener, usually has two sides. One side is made of fine and soft round fibers, and the other side is made of stiffer, hooked fibers.
[0062] For example, one side of the Velcro 14 can be disposed at the bottom of the folding barrel 12, and the other side can be disposed at the bottom wall of the receiving groove 112a. The folding barrel 12 is fixed to the groove wall of the receiving groove 112a by the Velcro 14 at the bottom.
[0063] Here, the two sides of the Velcro 14 are fixed to the walls of the folding barrel 12 and the receiving groove 112a respectively. The fixed connection can be adhesive, sewn, or snap-on, etc., and there are no restrictions here.
[0064] Here, the detachable connection between the folding bucket 12 and the wall of the receiving slot 112a is achieved by Velcro 14, which makes the detachable connection structure simpler and reduces the space occupied by the connection structure, thereby increasing the space available for the receiving slot 112a to accommodate the folding bucket 12.
[0065] In another embodiment, the folding barrel 12 is connected to the wall of the receiving groove 112a by a thread.
[0066] For example, the bottom outer wall of the folding barrel 12 is formed with an external thread, the bottom of the groove wall of the receiving groove 112a is formed with an internal thread, and the folding barrel 12 and the groove wall of the receiving groove 112a are engaged by the external thread and the internal thread.
[0067] Here, the screw connection enables the folding bucket 12 to be disassembled and installed. The direction of the force required for disassembly and installation is different from the direction of folding or unfolding the folding bucket 12. This can improve the situation where the user can easily remove the folding bucket 12 from the wall of the receiving groove 112a when driving the folding bucket 12 to fold or unfold, prevent misoperation, and improve the fixed reliability of the folding bucket 12.
[0068] In one embodiment, the base 112 is integrally formed with the main body 111, and the storage slot 11a and the receiving slot 112a are arranged in a first direction. The drawer 10 includes a handle 13 disposed at one end of the housing 11 along the first direction. Along the first direction, the base 112 is located at the end near the handle 13. The folding bucket 12 and the slot wall of the receiving slot 112a are connected by Velcro 14 or by threads.
[0069] Here, the base 112 is integrally formed with the main body 111, which makes the connection strength between the base 112 and the main body 111 stronger, reduces the chance of moving the base 112 when disassembling and assembling the folding bucket 12, and improves the user experience. At the same time, the base 112 is located at the end closer to the handle 13, which makes the folding bucket 12 closer to the handle 13. This makes it easier for the user to pull out part of the drawer 10 through the handle 13, so that the base 112 can be exposed outside the drawer 10, and the folding bucket 12 on the base 112 can be used. This helps to increase the working space required for disassembling or fixing the folding bucket 12, and makes it easier for the user to disassemble and install the folding bucket 12.
[0070] In one embodiment, the drawer 10 includes a housing 11 and a folding drawer 12. The housing 11 is movably disposed within the armrest box. The housing 11 includes an integrally formed body 111 and a base 112. A mounting groove 111a is formed within the body 111. The base 112 is disposed within the mounting groove 111a. A storage groove 11a is defined between the outer peripheral side of the base 112 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 111a. A receiving groove 112a is formed within the base 112. The folding drawer 12 is disposed within the receiving groove 112a. The folding drawer 12 is configured to retract into the receiving groove 112a and extend out of the receiving groove 112a. The folding drawer 12 is connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 112a via Velcro 14.
[0071] Here, by setting the base 112 within the mounting slot 111a, the space within the main body 111 is divided into a receiving slot 112a and a storage slot 11a formed on the base 112. This adds additional storage space beyond the receiving slot 112a used to house the folding bucket 12. The storage slot 11a can be used to store other items, facilitating organization and categorization. Simultaneously, the Velcro 14 enables a detachable connection between the folding bucket 12 and the wall of the receiving slot 112a. This allows the folding bucket 12 to be fixed within the receiving slot 112a for storing items, or to be detached and used independently. This enhances the flexibility of the folding bucket 12 and expands its usage scenarios. Furthermore, the Velcro 14 reduces the space occupied by the detachable connection structure, increasing the space available in the receiving slot 112a for accommodating the folding bucket 12, and improving the positioning and stability of the folding bucket 12 by the surrounding walls of the receiving slot 112a.
