[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle component technology, specifically to a seat drawer-type storage box and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for rear seat storage space in vehicles, storage boxes under the rear seats have emerged. Currently, these storage boxes mainly suffer from the following shortcomings or defects: the drawer locking mechanism is commonly a one-way plastic lock. While the drawer is easy to push into the frame, it requires disassembling the storage box or breaking the one-way plastic lock to remove it. This is inconvenient for some user scenarios, such as cleaning the drawer or retrieving items that have fallen into the gap between the drawer and the frame. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above, the purpose of this application is to provide a seat drawer-type storage box and vehicle to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a seat drawer-type storage box, comprising: a frame having a drawer receiving cavity with one end open, and first slide rails provided on both sides of the drawer receiving cavity; a drawer inserted into the drawer receiving cavity from the opening, and second slide rails and locking structures provided on both outer side walls of the drawer, the second slide rails being used for sliding cooperation with the first slide rails; and an elastic locking member, at least one elastic locking member being provided on both sides of the drawer receiving cavity, the elastic locking member being used for locking cooperation with the locking structure; wherein, when the locking structure engages with the elastic locking member to achieve locking, the drawer is locked in the open position, and when the locking structure disengages from the elastic locking member to release the locking, the drawer can be pushed into or pulled out of the drawer receiving cavity under the action of external force.

[0005] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some alternative embodiments, the frame includes a top plate and two side plates connected to both sides of the top plate, each side plate having an inner surface protrusion forming a first slide rail.

[0006] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some optional embodiments, the upper and lower sides of the end of the first slide rail away from the opening are provided with limiting protrusions, which are used to cooperate with the stop at the end of the second slide rail away from the opening to prevent the drawer from sliding excessively into the drawer receiving cavity.

[0007] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some optional embodiments, the second slide rail includes two first slide rails and one second slide rail. The two first slide rails are arranged in parallel and slide in contact with the upper and lower surfaces of the first slide rails, respectively. The second slide rail is arranged in parallel between the two first slide rails and slides in contact with the side surface of the first slide rails.

[0008] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some alternative embodiments, the resilient locking element is a metal spring and includes a locking portion and two fixing portions connected on both sides of the locking portion. The locking portion protrudes from the inner surface of the side plate, and the two fixing portions are respectively engaged with two locking element latches formed on the side plate.

[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some alternative embodiments, at least one positioning protrusion is provided on the side of each locking member buckle on the side plate, the positioning protrusion being used to position the fixing part.

[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some alternative embodiments, the locking structure includes a locking protrusion that protrudes from the outer side wall of the drawer and has a slot for engaging with the locking part.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some alternative implementations, the frame is a plastic frame and the drawer is a plastic drawer.

[0012] In conjunction with the first aspect, some alternative embodiments further include: a mounting panel mounted on one end of the frame, the mounting panel having a drawer opening corresponding to the opening for the drawer to enter and exit.

[0013] Secondly, this application provides a vehicle that includes a seat drawer-type storage box as described in any of the embodiments of the first aspect above.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the seat drawer-type storage box and vehicle provided in this application have locking structures on the outer walls of both sides of the drawer that lock in conjunction with elastic locking parts on both sides of the drawer receiving cavity of the frame. Compared with the traditional one-way plastic locking structure, the locking structure on the outer wall of the drawer in this application, in conjunction with the elastic locking parts, can achieve two-way locking during the process of pushing the drawer in and pulling it out. When the locking structure disengages from the elastic locking parts and is unlocked, the drawer can be completely pulled out from the drawer receiving cavity under the action of external force without damaging the locking structure. The operation is very convenient and suitable for scenarios where it is necessary to clean the dirt inside the drawer or to remove items that have fallen into the gap between the drawer and the frame.

Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined in a suitable manner.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a seat drawer-type storage box 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 These are exploded structural diagrams and top structural diagrams of a seat drawer-type storage box 100 with the hidden mounting panel 10, as provided in the embodiments of this application. Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this application provides a seat drawer-type storage box 100, including a mounting panel 10, a frame 20, a drawer 30, and a resilient locking member 40. The various components are described in detail below.

[0036] Mounting panel 10 is connected to one end of frame 20 via fasteners and snap-fit ​​interfaces on its inner surface. Mounting panel 10 has drawer openings for drawer 30 to enter and exit frame 20. The outer surface of mounting panel 10 uses a spraying process consistent with the vehicle interior, serving a decorative purpose. The edges of mounting panel 10 feature a rounded transition design, which can reduce the risk of abnormal noise when the vehicle is bumpy.

[0037] One end of the frame 20 is connected to the inner surface of the mounting panel 10 via fasteners and panel clips 223. The frame 20 is used to accommodate and support the drawer 30 and to connect to the vehicle body structure. The frame 20 has a drawer receiving cavity, one end of which has an opening corresponding to the drawer opening. Both sides of the drawer receiving cavity are provided with first slide rails 23 for sliding engagement with second slide rails 32 on both sides of the drawer 30.

[0038] As an example, such as Figure 4As shown, the frame 20 includes an integral top plate 21 and two side plates 22. The top plate 21 is rectangular and has first ear plates 211 at each of its four corners, which are used to connect to the vehicle body structure via fasteners. The two side plates 22 are respectively connected to the two sides of the top plate 21. The upper edge of each side plate 22 is connected to the top plate 21, and the lower edge of the side plate 22 is bent inward to form a supporting flange 221 for supporting the drawer 30. One end of the side plate 22 has a second ear plate 222 and a panel clip 223. The second ear plate 222 is used to connect to the inner surface of the mounting panel 10 via fasteners, and the panel clip 223 is used to connect to the clip interface on the inner surface of the mounting panel 10. The cross-section of each side plate 22 (referring to the sectional section perpendicular to the length direction of the side plate 22) is a convex-concave "Z" shape (see...). Figure 6 (In a partially enlarged view), the protruding portion of the inner surface of the side panel 22 forms the first slide rail 23, and the concave portion of the outer surface of the side panel 22 is provided with a first reinforcing structure. The first reinforcing structure includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 24 evenly distributed along the extending direction of the first slide rail 23. Each first slide rail 23 has a limiting protrusion 231 on its upper and lower sides at the end furthest from the opening. The limiting protrusion 231 is used to cooperate with the stop at the end of the second slide rail 32 furthest from the opening to prevent the drawer 30 from sliding excessively into the drawer receiving cavity of the frame 20.

[0039] Drawer 30 is slidably disposed in the drawer receiving cavity of frame 20. One end of drawer 30 corresponds to the drawer opening on mounting panel 10 and is provided with an operating structure 31 for manually operating drawer 30. Second slide rails 32 are provided on the outer side walls on both sides of drawer 30 for sliding cooperation with the first slide rails 23 on both sides of drawer receiving cavity.

[0040] As an example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the operating structure 31 is a groove for easy finger insertion, which reduces weight and saves space compared to traditional handle structures. Combined with... Figure 6As shown in the enlarged view, each second slide rail 32 includes two first slide rail strips 321 and one second slide rail strip 322. The two first slide rail strips 321 are arranged parallel to each other vertically and slide in contact with the upper and lower surfaces of the corresponding first slide rail 23, respectively. The second slide rail strip 322 is arranged parallel between the two first slide rail strips 321 and slides in contact with the side surface of the corresponding first slide rail 23. The two first slide rail strips 321 and one second slide rail strip 322 restrict the corresponding first slide rail 23 from three directions, which can prevent the first slide rail 23 from sliding and deforming in one direction. The fit gap between each slide rail and the first slide rail 23 is 0.5mm, which can ensure both smooth sliding and firm sliding without shaking. In this design, the end of each first slide rail 321 away from the opening is bent to form a slope 3211, and the limiting protrusion 231 is provided with a stop slope. The end of each first slide rail 321 away from the opening and the corresponding limiting protrusion 231 are in contact with the stop slope through the slope 3211 to achieve a stop engagement, preventing the drawer 30 from sliding excessively into the frame 20.

[0041] As an example, the outer side walls on both sides of the drawer 30 are provided with a second reinforcing structure. The second reinforcing structure includes multiple polygonal reinforcing ribs 33, which are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the two first slide rails 321, thereby improving the structural strength of the drawer 30 side walls and the two first slide rails 321.

[0042] The frame 20 and drawer 30 are preferably made of plastic, which can significantly reduce weight and cost compared to metal parts. As an example, the frame 20 is injection molded from PC+ABS (polycarbonate-acrylonitrile butadiene styrene blend) plastic, and the drawer 30 is injection molded from PP-GF20 (polypropylene-20% glass fiber reinforced) plastic. This not only ensures structural rigidity and strength, reduces deformation, and solves the problem of uneven sliding of the drawer 30, but also solves the compatibility problem of abnormal noise between the materials of the frame 20 and the drawer 30.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, at least one resilient locking element 40 is provided on both sides of the drawer receiving cavity of frame 20, such as... Figure 5 As shown, at least one locking structure 34 is provided on each of the outer side walls of both sides of the drawer 30. The locking structure 34 is used to lock in place with the elastic locking member 40. When the locking structure 34 engages with the elastic locking member 40 to lock, the drawer 30 is locked in the open position and is in the open state. When the locking structure 34 disengages from the elastic locking member 40 and is unlocked, the drawer 30 can be pushed into or pulled out of the drawer receiving cavity of the frame 20 under the action of external force.

[0044] As an example, such as Figure 7As shown, each of the two side plates 22 of the frame 20 near the opening is equipped with an elastic locking element 40. Each elastic locking element 40 is a metal spring, including a locking part 41 and two fixing parts 42 connected to both sides of the locking part 41. The locking part 41 is bent into a V shape and protrudes from the inner surface of the corresponding side plate 22. The two fixing parts 42 are bent into a Z-shape and respectively locked onto two locking element buckles 25 formed on the corresponding side plate 22. Each locking element buckle 25 has a positioning protrusion 26 on both sides for positioning the fixing part 42. The installation area of ​​the elastic locking element 40 of each side plate 22 has a notch 27 to facilitate the installation of the elastic locking element 40. The damping and feel of the drawer 30 when pushed in and pulled out can be adjusted by adjusting the compressive deformation force of the metal spring. The compressive deformation force of the metal spring can be adjusted by adjusting the hardness, thickness, bending angle, etc. of the metal spring.

[0045] As an example, such as Figure 5 As shown in the enlarged view, each of the outer side walls of the drawer 30, at the end furthest from the opening, is provided with a locking structure 34. The locking structure 34 includes at least one locking protrusion 341 (two are shown in the figure). The locking protrusion 341 protrudes from the corresponding outer side wall and has a slot 3411 on it. The slot 3411 is used to engage with the locking portion 41 of the elastic locking member 40. Figure 8 As shown, when drawer 30 is pulled outward from frame 20 until the slot 3411 of locking protrusion 341 engages with the locking part 41 of elastic locking member 40, drawer 30 is locked in the open position and remains open. When drawer 30 is locked, if it is pulled outward from frame 20, causing the locking part 41 of elastic locking member 40 to deform due to compression and disengage from the slot 3411 of locking protrusion 341, the lock on drawer 30 is released, and drawer 30 can then be pulled outward from frame 20. When the drawer is fully pulled out of the cavity, it is suitable for scenarios such as cleaning the inside of the drawer 30 or removing items that have fallen into the gap between the drawer 30 and the frame 20. When the drawer 30 is locked, when the drawer 30 is pushed into the frame 20, the locking part 41 of the elastic locking member 40 is deformed by compression and disengages from the slot 3411 of the locking protrusion 341, the lock of the drawer 30 is released, and the drawer 30 can be fully pushed into the drawer cavity of the frame 20.

[0046] It should be noted that the number of frames 20 and drawers 30 is not limited to one; there can be multiple. As an example, such as... Figure 9 As shown, there are two frames 20 and two drawers 30. The two frames 20 share a mounting panel 10. Each frame 20 has elastic locking elements 40 on both sides of the drawer receiving cavity.

[0047] This application also provides a vehicle that includes the aforementioned seat drawer-type storage box 100.

[0048] As an example, such as Figure 10 As shown, the seat drawer-type storage box 100 is mounted on the rear seat fixing bracket 1, wherein the frame 20 is connected to the rear seat fixing bracket 1 by fasteners. The drawer 30 can be arranged with its inner end slightly downward, and the friction between the drawer 30 and the frame 20 can prevent the drawer 30 from sliding out automatically during vehicle operation.

[0049] In summary, the seat drawer-type storage box and vehicle provided in this application embodiment have locking structures on the outer walls of the drawer that engage with elastic locking elements on both sides of the drawer's receiving cavity. Compared to traditional unidirectional plastic locking structures, the locking structure on the outer walls of the drawer in this application, combined with the elastic locking elements, enables bidirectional locking during the drawer's pushing and pulling processes. When the locking structure disengages from the elastic locking elements, the drawer can be completely pulled out of the receiving cavity under external force without damaging the locking structure, making operation very convenient. This is suitable for scenarios requiring cleaning of the drawer's interior or removing items that have fallen into the gap between the drawer and the frame. The frame and drawer are preferably made of plastic, which reduces the weight and cost of the slide rails and solves the problem of material noise compatibility.

[0050] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these should all be included within the scope of protection of this application.
