[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Example Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the storage box 100 provided in this embodiment when applied to the armrest box assembly 200. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the storage box 100 in the closed state from a first-person perspective. Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the storage box 100 when it is fully open.

[0032] The storage box 100 provided in this embodiment is applied to an automobile, specifically it can be installed in a location such as the armrest box assembly 200 of the automobile. The storage box 100 includes a box body 110 and a lid 120. The box body 110 has an opening 111, and the lid 120 has a fixing part 121 and a movable part 122. The fixing part 121 is connected to the box body 110. The storage box 100 has a closed state and a fully open state. In the closed state, the movable part 122 covers the opening 111. In the fully open state, the movable part 122 is folded and / or rolled up to completely open the opening 111 and is magnetically fixed to the fixing part 121.

[0033] In this embodiment, the fixing part 121 is fixedly connected to the box body 110. When the storage box 100 is in the closed state, the movable part 122 covers the opening 111 of the box body 110, preventing the items inside the box body 110 from being exposed. When it is necessary to open the storage box 100, a force is applied to the movable part 122, causing the movable part 122 to be folded and / or rolled up and then magnetically fixed by the fixing part 121, thus completing the switch of the storage box 100 from the closed state to the fully open state.

[0034] For the magnetic fixation between the movable part 122 and the fixed part 121, in this embodiment, one of the movable part 122 and the fixed part 121 is provided with a magnetic component 124, and the other is provided with a magnetic component 124 and / or a magnetic material component 125. It is understood that different magnetic components 124 can be magnetically attracted to each other, and the magnetic material component 125 can be magnetically attracted by the magnetic component 124. In this embodiment, the magnetic component 124 is a magnet, and the magnetic material component 125 is a steel plate.

[0035] Specifically, if the movable part 122 is provided with a magnetic component 124, then the fixed part 121 may also be provided with a magnetic component 124, a magnetic material component 125, or both. Conversely, if the fixed part 121 is provided with a magnetic component 124, then the movable part 122 may also be provided with a magnetic component 124, a magnetic material component 125, or both.

[0036] Because the fixed part 121 and the movable part 122 are magnetically secured, the occupant can easily and quickly secure the movable part 122 without any additional operation when opening the storage box 100. Furthermore, the fixed part 121 provides a stable and reliable constraint on the movable part 122 through magnetic attachment, preventing the movable part 122 from moving on its own due to vibration or inertia during driving. This ensures that the storage box 100 remains stably fully open during driving and also improves driving safety.

[0037] In this embodiment, the movable part 122 is hinged to the fixed part 121. When the storage box 100 is in the closed state, the movable part 122 can be folded to the fixed part 121 to switch the storage box 100 to the fully open state. In another embodiment, the movable part 122 can also be wound around the fixed part 121 and magnetically fixed to the fixed part 121.

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the storage box 100. Figure 5 The diagram shown is another exploded view of the storage box 100.

[0039] The cover 120 includes at least two sequentially arranged plate segments 123, which are hinged to each other. In this embodiment, at least one plate segment 123 at one end of the arrangement forms a fixed part 121, and the remaining plate segments 123 form movable parts 122. In the closed state, the plate segment 123 forming the movable part 122 unfolds to cover the opening 111; in the fully open state, the plurality of plate segments 123 forming the movable part 122 fold together and are magnetically fixed to the fixed part 121.

[0040] In another embodiment, the movable part 122 can be formed by all the plate segments 123, and one side of the plate segment 123 at one end of the arrangement can be hinged to the box body 110 to form a fixed part 121. In this case, when the storage box 100 is closed, the plate segment 123 forming the movable part 122 unfolds to cover the opening 111. When the storage box 100 is fully open, all the plate segments 123 fold together and are magnetically fixed to the box body 110.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one of the first and last plate segments 123 is provided with a magnet 124, and the other is provided with a magnet 124 and / or a magnetic material component 125. The magnets 124 of the two plates are correspondingly arranged, or the magnets 124 and the magnetic material components 125 of the two plates are correspondingly arranged. In the fully open state, the first plate segment 123 and the last plate segment 123 are magnetically fixed together, and all plate segments 123 are magnetically fixed to the box body 110 in a folded state.

[0042] It is understood that in the storage box 100 provided in this embodiment, during the transition from a closed state to a fully open state, all panel segments 123 are folded, and the folded state is maintained by the magnetic attraction between the first and last panel segments 123, preventing some or all of the panel segments 123 from accidentally unfolding. Furthermore, the folded structure formed by all panel segments 123 is also magnetically fixed by the box body 110, preventing the folded structure from moving relative to the box body 110 and obstructing the opening 111.

[0043] In this embodiment, the box body 110 is provided with a magnetic component 124 and / or a magnetic material component 125. If the box body 110 is provided with a magnetic component 124, when all the plate segments 123 constituting the cover 120 are folded to fully open the opening 111, the magnetic component 124 on the box body 110 can magnetically attract at least some of the magnetic components 124 and / or magnetic material components 125 provided on the plate segments 123, thereby achieving magnetic attraction and fixation of all plate segments 123 in the folded state.

[0044] If a magnetic material component 125 is provided on the box body 110, then when all the plate segments 123 constituting the cover 120 are folded, the magnetic material component 125 on the box body 110 can be magnetically attracted by the magnetic component 124 provided on at least some of the plate segments 123, thus achieving magnetic attraction and fixation of all plate segments 123 in the folded state.

[0045] The storage box 100 provided in this embodiment, in practical applications, allows for convenient and quick opening and closing operations due to the sequential hinged connection of multiple panel segments 123. Furthermore, after the storage box 100 is opened, the multiple panel segments 123 fold together, which not only saves interior space but also forms a stable overall structure through magnetic fixation.

[0046] Preferably, in this embodiment, any two adjacent plate segments 123 are flexibly hinged. In another embodiment, depending on the actual application conditions, hinges can also be provided between adjacent plate segments 123. The cover 120 as a whole can also be a flexible structure that can be folded or rolled up in any way.

[0047] In this embodiment, there are two plate segments 123 forming the movable part 122, meaning the cover 120 is composed of three sequentially hinged plate segments 123. In another embodiment, the number of plate segments 123 constituting the cover 120 can be adjusted according to actual application conditions. For example, there can be two plate segments 123, one of which forms a fixed part 121 and is fixedly connected to the box body 110, while the other plate segment 123 forms a movable part 122 that can be flipped and folded relative to the fixed part 121.

[0048] It is understandable that, in order to reliably magnetically fix the movable part 122 to the fixed part 121 in the fully open state, at least some of the multiple plate segments 123 need to be provided with magnets 124. In this embodiment, some of the multiple plate segments 123 are provided with magnets 124, and all plate segments 123 are provided with magnetic material parts 125. In another embodiment, magnetic material parts 125 may be provided only on the plate segments 123 other than those provided with magnets 124, or magnets 124 may be provided on all plate segments 123.

[0049] It should be noted that if the magnetic force of the magnet 124 is strong enough, as long as the two plate segments 123 at both ends are firmly magnetically attracted in the folded state, the middle plate segment 123 can be clamped and fixed, and the stability of the folded structure can also be guaranteed.

[0050] Therefore, in this embodiment, starting from the end of the arrangement queue furthest from the fixing part 121, a magnet 124 is provided on one of the first plate segment 123 and the fixing part 121, and a magnet 124 and / or a magnetic material part 125 is provided on the other. The magnets 124 of the two plates are arranged correspondingly, or the magnets 124 and the magnetic material parts 125 of the two plates are arranged correspondingly. In the fully open state, the first plate segment 123 is magnetically attracted and fixed to the fixing part 121.

[0051] As for the plate segment 123 located in the middle of the arrangement, in another embodiment, it can be provided with a magnet component 124 and / or a magnetic material component 125 to further enhance stability, or neither magnet component 124 nor magnetic material component 125 can be provided to further reduce cost and weight.

[0052] In order to improve the stability of the folding structure of the cover 120 in the fully open state and reduce the cost and weight to a certain extent, in this embodiment, one of the two plate segments 123 forming the movable part 122 is provided with a magnet 124 and a magnetic material 125, while the other is only provided with a magnetic material 125.

[0053] On the one hand, when the storage box 100 is fully open, any two adjacent plate segments 123 can be magnetically fixed to each other, and the plate segments 123 that are spaced apart can also be magnetically fixed to each other, which improves the stability of the overall folding structure; on the other hand, it avoids the excessive cost and weight caused by setting magnet parts 124 on all plate segments 123.

[0054] In another embodiment, if the number of plate segments 123 forming the active part 122 is greater than two, then one of any two adjacent plate segments 123 forming the active part 122 may be provided with a magnet 124 and the other with a magnetic material 125.

[0055] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the storage box 100 provided in this embodiment when it is in the closed state, viewed from a second perspective. Figure 7 As shown Figure 6 Sectional view of AA, Figure 8 As shown Figure 6 A cross-sectional view of BB.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the storage box 100 is in the closed state, the movable part 122 is magnetically fixed by the box body 110. That is, in the closed state, at least a portion of the plate segment 123 forming the movable part 122 can be magnetically fixed by the box body 110, thereby ensuring stable shielding of the opening 111 of the box body 110 and preventing the storage box 100 from being accidentally opened during driving.

[0057] Specifically, the housing 110 is provided with a plurality of magnetic components 124, and the plurality of magnetic components 124 on the housing 110 are respectively provided with a plurality of plate segments 123 forming the movable part 122. In another embodiment, magnetic components 124 and magnetic material components 125 may be provided at different locations on the housing 110, with the magnetic components 124 on the housing 110 corresponding to plate segments 123 where only magnetic material components 125 are provided, and the magnetic material components 125 on the housing 110 corresponding to plate segments 123 where magnetic components 124 are provided. If the plurality of plate segments 123 forming the movable part 122 are all provided with magnetic components 124, then the plurality of magnetic material components 125 may be provided only on the housing 110.

[0058] In this embodiment, in order to achieve accurate positioning of the cover 120 in the closed state, a magnet 124 is provided on the first plate segment 123 starting from the end of the arrangement queue away from the fixed part 121, and a magnet 124 is also provided on the box body 110 at the position corresponding to the magnet 124 on the first plate segment 123.

[0059] In practical applications, when the storage box 100 needs to be closed, the multiple plates 123 forming the movable part 122 unfold. The first plate 123 moves towards the end of the opening 111 away from the fixed part 121. Before the movable part 122 covers the opening 111, the magnet 124 on the first plate 123 is attracted by the corresponding magnet 124 on the box body 110. Under this attraction, the first plate 123 is guided to the accurate position, so that the multiple plates 123 forming the movable part 122 accurately cover the opening 111, thereby avoiding the opening 111 not being accurately covered due to misalignment between the movable part 122 and the opening 111. Furthermore, preferably, in this embodiment, starting from the end of the arrangement away from the fixed part 121, the plates 123 in the odd-numbered positions are provided with magnets 124, while the plates 123 in the even-numbered positions are only provided with magnetic material parts 125.

[0060] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the cover 120 consists of three plate segments 123, each of which is provided with a magnetic material component 125. Starting from the end of the arrangement away from the fixing part 121, the first plate segment 123 and the last plate segment 123 are also provided with a magnet component 124. The box body 110 is also provided with a magnet component 124 at the position corresponding to the magnet component 124 on the first plate segment 123, and a magnet component 124 is also provided at the position corresponding to the second cover plate.

[0061] When the storage box 100 is closed, the magnetic component 124 on the box body 110 magnetically attracts the first plate segment 123 and the second plate segment 123, thus magnetically fixing the movable part 122. When the storage box 100 is fully open, the three plate segments 123 are folded, and the second plate segment 123 is between the first plate segment 123 and the last plate segment 123. The magnetic component 124 on the first plate segment 123 magnetically attracts the magnetic material component 125 on the second plate segment 123, thus magnetically fixing the first plate segment 123 and the second plate segment 123; the magnetic component 124 on the last plate segment 123 magnetically attracts the magnetic material component 125 on the second plate segment 123, thus magnetically fixing the last plate segment 123 and the second plate segment 123.

[0062] In practical applications, the opening 111 may have at least two opening regions that are at an angle to each other on the plane. In the closed state, each opening region is covered by at least one of the multiple plate segments 123 forming the movable part 122 to shield the opening region.

[0063] In this embodiment, the opening 111 of the box body 110 has a first opening region 1111 and a second opening region 1112 that are at an angle to each other on their respective planes. In the closed state, two of the multiple plate segments 123 forming the movable part 122 are at an angle to each other and respectively cover the first opening region 1111 and the second opening region 1112. It can be understood that since any two adjacent plate segments 123 are hinged together, the size of each plate segment 123 can be adjusted to adapt to openings 111 of different shapes.

[0064] In this embodiment, the plate segment 123 forming the fixing part 121 is welded to the box body 110. In another embodiment, it can also be connected to the box body 110 by means of bonding, snap-fitting, etc. Alternatively, the plate segment 123 forming the fixing part 121 can also be magnetically fixed to the box body 110. If necessary, the fixing part 121 can be separated from the box body 110, thereby completely removing the cover 120 from the box body 110.

[0065] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, all plate segments 123 are provided with magnetic material components 125, and one of any two adjacent plate segments 123 is also provided with a magnet component 124. Therefore, in practical applications, multiple plate segments 123 can be partially folded from the end away from the fixing part 121, thereby partially opening the opening 111. Specifically, the storage box 100 provided in this embodiment also has a half-open state. In the half-open state, at least some of the multiple plate segments 123 forming the movable part 122 are folded together and magnetically fixed to partially open the opening 111.

[0066] In this embodiment, each opening area of ​​the opening 111 corresponds to a plate segment 123. Therefore, in the half-open state, the first plate segment 123 is folded onto the second plate segment 123, thereby opening the first opening area 1111. The second plate segment 123 still covers the second opening area 1112, that is, the second opening area 1112 remains in a covered state.

[0067] In another embodiment, when the storage box 100 is closed, the first opening area 1111 and / or the second opening area 1112 can also be jointly covered by two or more plate segments 123. In this embodiment, when the storage box 100 is in a half-open state, the first portion of the plate segment 123 is folded to open the first opening area 1111, and the second portion of the plate segment 123 is unfolded to cover the second opening area 1112, with the first and second portions magnetically secured together.

[0068] It is understood that in this embodiment, the first part can be either a single plate segment 123 or composed of two or more plate segments 123 that are hinged together in sequence.

[0069] To reduce the thickness of the cover 120 in the folded state, thereby further saving space and improving the stability of the folding structure, in this embodiment, when the storage box 100 is in the fully open state, any three consecutive plate segments 123 are folded in a Z-shape. In embodiments where the number of plate segments 123 forming the movable part 122 is three or more, and when three or more plate segments 123 of the movable part 122 are folded together in the half-open state, any three consecutive plate segments 123 are also folded in a Z-shape.

[0070] It is understandable that among the three plate segments 123 of the Z-shaped fold, the middle plate segment 123 is located between the two plate segments 123 at both ends, so that the width of the hinge part between any two adjacent plate segments 123 can be minimized, thereby minimizing the overall size of the cover 120 and thus minimizing the overall thickness of the folding structure.

[0071] In this embodiment, since the cover 120 is composed of three plate segments 123, the cover 120 can be folded in three stages during the process of the storage box 100 switching from the closed state to the fully open state. Please refer to the following: Figure 9 , Figure 9 The diagram shown illustrates the process of the storage box 100 provided in this embodiment switching from a closed state to a fully open state.

[0072] In this embodiment, the storage box 100, when folding the lid 120, firstly flips the first panel 123 towards the underside of the second panel 123 until the underside surfaces of the first and second panels 123 are in contact. Then, a second stage is performed where the second panel 123 is flipped towards the topside of the last panel 123 until the topside surfaces of the second and last panels 123 are in contact. At the end of the second stage, the storage box 100 has switched to a fully open state, and the lid 120 forms a Z-shaped folding structure.

[0073] In another embodiment, if the number of plate segments 123 constituting the cover 120 is an odd number greater than 3, when folding the cover 120, it is only necessary to start from the first plate segment 123 and fold multiple plate segments 123 in the order of downward and then upward, so that a Z-shaped folding structure can be obtained when the folding is completed.

[0074] If the number of plate segments 123 constituting the cover 120 is an even number greater than 2, when folding the cover 120, it is only necessary to start from the first plate segment 123 and fold multiple plate segments 123 in the order of first upward and then downward, so that a Z-shaped folding structure can be obtained when the folding is completed.

[0075] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 The figure shown is a cross-sectional view of the storage box 100 in an embodiment in which the number of plate segments 123 constituting the cover 120 is four. Figure 11 As shown Figure 10 The diagram shows the process of the storage box 100 switching from a closed state to a fully open state.

[0076] In this embodiment, when folding the cover 120, the first stage involves flipping the first plate segment 123 upwards towards the upper side of the second plate segment 123 until the upper surfaces of the first plate segment 123 and the second plate segment 123 are in contact. Then, the second stage involves flipping the second plate segment 123 downwards towards the lower side of the third plate segment 123 until the lower surfaces of the second plate segment 123 and the second stage ends. Next, the third stage involves flipping the third plate segment 123 upwards towards the upper side of the fourth plate segment 123 until the upper surfaces of the third plate segment 123 and the third stage ends. At the end of the third stage, the storage box 100 has switched to a fully open state, and the cover 120 forms a Z-shaped folding structure.

[0077] In this embodiment, the box body 110 includes a main body 112 and a decorative panel 113. An opening 111 is disposed on the main body 112, and the decorative panel 113 covers the surface of the main body 112 and exposes the opening 111. A magnetic component 124 is disposed on the box body 110 between the decorative panel 113 and the main body 112. In embodiments where a magnetic material component 125 is disposed on the box body 110, the magnetic material component 125 may also be arranged between the decorative panel 113 and the main body 112.

[0078] Understandably, the decorative panel 113 serves two purposes: firstly, it flattens and supports the cover 120, and secondly, it covers the magnetic component 124 to prevent it from being exposed, thus ensuring the integrity of the box 110 structure. Preferably, in this embodiment, the surface of the main body 112 is recessed with a groove 1121, and the magnetic component 124 is embedded in the groove 1121.

[0079] It should be noted that, in another embodiment, the magnet component 124 and / or the magnetic material component 125 can also be directly injection molded into the main body 112, in which case the decorative panel 113 can be omitted.

[0080] In this embodiment, the cover 120 is actually an integral structure formed by insert injection molding and hot pressing of a silicone shell 126, two plastic frames 127, three magnetic material components 125, and multiple magnetic components 124. Specifically, the two plastic frames 127 are respectively disposed at both ends of the silicone shell 126. The three magnetic material components 125 are sequentially and spaced apart in the silicone shell 126, with the two magnetic material components 125 at both ends respectively mounted on the two plastic frames 127, and the multiple magnetic components 124 respectively mounted on the two plastic frames 127.

[0081] In this embodiment, the magnetic material component 125 is a steel plate. Three steel plates arranged at intervals divide the silicone shell 126 into three parts, corresponding to three plate segments 123. One end of the silicone shell 126 encloses a plastic skeleton 127, a magnetic material component 125, and multiple magnet components 124 to form a plate segment 123. The other end of the silicone shell 126 includes another plastic skeleton 127, another magnetic material component 125, and the remaining multiple magnet components 124 to form another plate segment 123. The middle region of the silicone shell 126 encloses the remaining magnetic material component 125 to form the remaining plate segment 123.

[0082] Because the silicone shell 126 is flexible, the portion of the silicone shell 126 between any two adjacent plate segments 123 forms a flexible hinge to those two plate segments 123. In another embodiment, the individual plate segments 123 constituting the cover 120 can be independent of each other, and the adjacent plate segments 123 are additionally connected by a flexible member to achieve a flexible hinge.

[0083] As can be seen, in the closed state, the storage box 100 provided in this embodiment magnetically fixes the movable part 122 of the cover 120 to the box body 110, effectively restraining the movable part 122 in the closed state and preventing the storage box 100 from accidentally opening during driving. In the fully open state, the fixing part 121 of the cover 120 magnetically fixes the movable part 122, effectively restraining the movable part 122 in the fully open state and preventing the storage box 100 from accidentally closing during driving. Furthermore, the cover 120, composed of multiple plate segments 123, folds in a Z-shape and is magnetically fixed to each other in the fully open state, ensuring the stability of the folding structure and saving space.

[0084] In addition, the magnetic attraction between the box body 110 and the movable part 122 plays a positioning and guiding role in the movement of the movable part 122 to cover the opening 111, ensuring that the movable part 122 can accurately cover the opening 111 when the storage box 100 switches from the fully open state to the closed state, making the operation easy.

[0085] In summary, the storage box 100 provided in this embodiment can stably remain closed or fully open during driving, and also has the advantages of occupying less space, being easier to operate, and providing a better user experience.

[0086] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
