[0040] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and not intended to limit it. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0041] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A perspective view of a top storage box assembly 2 installed on the roof 1 of a vehicle is disclosed. The top storage box assembly 2 is used for installation on the roof 1 of a vehicle. The top storage box assembly 2 includes a storage box 21, a storage cover 22, and a locking mechanism 23. The storage box 21 includes a box body 211, a storage cavity 213, and a mounting part 212. The storage cavity 213 is disposed on the box body 211, and the mounting part 212 is disposed on the top of the box body 211 for installation on the roof 1. One side of the storage cover 22 is rotatably disposed at the opening of the storage box 21 body. The locking mechanism 23 is disposed on the storage box 21 body to lock the storage cover 22 onto the storage box 21 body.

[0042] Since the top storage box assembly 2 of this application can be arranged on the roof 1 via the mounting part 212, it can utilize the space of the roof 1 for storage, thereby effectively utilizing the roof space inside the vehicle and increasing the storage function. In addition, since a locking mechanism 23 is provided, the storage cover 22 can be stably locked on the box body 211 when closed.

[0043] The aforementioned mounting part 212 can be understood as a fastener, through which the housing part 211 can be mounted on the roof 1. The fastener can be pre-fabricated on the housing part 211, or it can be detachably connected to the housing part 211. Any part that can achieve the connection between the housing part 211 and the roof 1 can be understood as the aforementioned mounting part 212 of this application.

[0044] To enhance the strength of the top storage box assembly 2, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the box body 211 is provided with a reinforcing plate 24 that matches the shape of the storage cavity 213. For ease of description, the direction corresponding to the vehicle width direction of the top storage box assembly 2 is the width direction, the direction corresponding to the vehicle length direction is the length direction, and the direction corresponding to the vehicle height direction is the height direction. The reinforcing plate 24 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs, which can extend along the width direction, length direction, and / or height direction to improve the connection strength in the corresponding directions, such as... Figures 3 to 6 As shown. The reinforcing plate 24 is connected to the housing part 211 by fasteners or snap-fit. For example, a riveting connection process can be used.

[0045] By setting the storage cover 22, the items inside the storage box 21 can be covered, preventing them from being directly seen from the outside and reducing the risk of theft of valuables inside the vehicle. At the same time, the closed state can prevent items from flying out and injuring people during sudden braking or bumps.

[0046] The storage lid 22 includes a lid body 221, a connecting part 222, and a pin 223. One end of the connecting part 222 is connected to the lid body 221, and the other end of the connecting part 222 is rotatably mounted on the box body 211 via the pin 223. The storage lid 22 is rotatably mounted on the box body 211 and has a closed state and an open state. In the closed state, it can cover the opening of the box body 211 to achieve the effect of covering the items inside the storage box 21, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown; in the open state, items can be placed into or removed from the storage box 21 through the opening, such as... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown.

[0047] To accommodate the usage habits of drivers or passengers, the storage cover 22 also includes a torsion spring. The torsion spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the pin 223, with one end of the torsion spring abutting against the box body 211 and the other end of the torsion spring abutting against the cover body 221. The storage cover 22 is configured to be in a closed state and an open state. When the storage cover 22 is in the closed state, the torsion spring stores energy; when the storage cover 22 is in the open state, the torsion spring releases energy.

[0048] By incorporating a torsion spring, the storage lid 22 can be kept open without external force, allowing items to be placed into or removed from the storage box 21 without needing to hold the lid 22.

[0049] To reduce maintenance costs, the storage cover 22 may also include a decorative panel, which is disposed on the outer side of the cover body 221. The main function of the cover body 221 is to cover the storage box 21, while the main function of the decorative panel is decoration. Separating the two functions of covering and decoration facilitates maintenance, and the image on the decorative panel can be customized for different users to meet the different needs of customers.

[0050] The locking mechanism 23 described above functions to cooperate with the storage lid 22 to lock and unlock the latch 2211 on the storage lid 22. The locking mechanism 23 includes a lock body 231, a locking block 232, an elastic element 233, and a button 234. The lock body 231 is mounted on the box body 211 and has a first locking hole 2311. The locking block 232 is slidably mounted on the lock body 231 and has a second locking hole 2321. The elastic element 233 is compressed and positioned between the locking block 232 and the lock body 231. The button 234 is slidably mounted on the box body 211. When the locking mechanism 23 is locked, the first locking hole 2311 and the second locking hole 2321 are misaligned, allowing the latch 2211 of the storage lid 22 to lock into both the first and second locking holes 2311. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown; when the locking mechanism 23 is unlocked, the first lock hole 2311 and the second lock hole 2321 are aligned, and the bolt 2211 can pass through the first lock hole 2311 and the second lock hole 2321, as shown. Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown.

[0051] It should be noted that the locking mechanism 23 can be located at the bottom of the box body 211 for easy operation, or it can be located on the side of the box body 211.

[0052] To reduce noise when the storage lid 22 is closed, a cushioning pad is provided at the part where the opening mates with the storage lid 22, or a cushioning pad is provided at the part where the storage lid 22 mates with the opening.

[0053] In addition, to save installation space, the bottom of the storage box 21 is also equipped with a sunshade base for installing a sunshade or a makeup mirror.

[0054] It should be noted that the number of storage cavities 213 can be one or two. In the figure, there are two storage cavities 213, one of which corresponds to the driver's cab and the other corresponds to the passenger cab.

[0055] This application provides a vehicle including a body and a top storage box assembly 2 as described above, the top storage box assembly 2 being mounted on the roof 1 of the body. Because the top storage box assembly 2 has the aforementioned effects, the vehicle including this top storage box assembly 2 has the corresponding effects.

[0056] The vehicle can be a van, commercial vehicle, or any other vehicle with ample headroom.
