Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a vehicle storage structure and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Storage space design in passenger vehicles typically considers cup holders for beverage bottles or cups, and increasingly, also includes phone holders. Generally, in spacious areas, phone holders are flat trays, while in more confined spaces, they are designed as narrow slots to allow phones to be placed vertically to save space. Current technology primarily arranges cup holders and phone holders side-by-side in storage structures that require both. However, in door panels, where width is very limited, there isn't enough space to arrange cup holders and phone holders side-by-side, often necessitating a compromise. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a door panel storage structure that simultaneously provides a cup holder for accommodating cups and bottles, as well as a mobile phone slot for accommodating mobile phones in a narrow space. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a vehicle.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a car door panel storage structure, including a car door panel body, the car door panel body is provided with an armrest, the top surface of the armrest is provided with a cup holder and a mobile phone slot, the long side of the cup holder and the mobile phone slot are adjacent to each other and the cup holder and the mobile phone slot are in communication.

[0005] Furthermore, the phone slot is located on the side of the cup holder closer to the car door.

[0006] The solution places the phone slot near the car door, making the cup holder position more oriented towards the passenger, making it easier to grab beverage cups and bottles. Even though the door panel above the armrest has a certain curvature design, it will not affect the access to beverage cups and bottles. The small height space required for accessing and placing the phone makes both easy to access and place.

[0007] Furthermore, at least one of the bottoms of the cup holder and the mobile phone holder is provided with a rubber pad.

[0008] This solution uses rubber pads to create a buffer within the groove, reducing noise generated during driving.

[0009] Furthermore, the edge of the adhesive pad is provided with a protruding flap extending along the wall of the cup holder groove or the mobile phone groove.

[0010] The protruding flap design makes it easy to remove the rubber pad from the cup holder or phone holder, facilitating cleaning and maintenance.

[0011] Furthermore, the door panel body includes a center trim panel, the armrest includes a body and an assembly, the assembly is fitted into the armrest body, the cup holder and the mobile phone slot are disposed in the assembly, and the assembly is fixedly connected to the center trim panel.

[0012] Furthermore, the side of the phone slot that is not adjacent to the cup holder slot is formed by the middle decorative panel as the slot wall.

[0013] Furthermore, the assembly is fixed to the center trim panel by screws and welding.

[0014] Another technical solution of this utility model is a vehicle, which includes the aforementioned door panel storage structure.

[0015] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: By connecting the cup holder and the phone holder, both are integrated into the narrow door armrest, providing more storage space and improving space utilization. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the door panel storage structure in an embodiment.

[0017] Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the assembly of the door panel storage structure in an embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0019] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle involved in this embodiment includes a door panel storage structure. Specifically, the door panel storage structure includes a door panel body 1, a center trim panel 2 and an armrest 3 on the door panel body 1, and a cup holder 4 and a mobile phone slot 5 on the top surface of the armrest 3. The cup holder 4 is used to place water cups, beverage bottles, etc., and the mobile phone slot 5 is used to place mobile phones.

[0020] The cup holder 4 is approximately cylindrical, while the phone holder 5 is a narrow, elongated shape. To fully utilize the space and maintain the usability of both storage compartments, the length of the phone holder 5 runs along the front-to-back direction of the armrest 3 (i.e., the vehicle's front-to-back direction). The cup holder 4 is positioned adjacent to the long side of the phone holder 5, and the cup holder 4 is continuous with the phone holder 5. In this way, the cup holder 4 utilizes a portion of the width of the phone holder 5, making the total width required for both (cup holder 4 diameter + phone holder 5 width - overlap width) less than the total width if they were designed separately (cup holder 4 diameter + phone holder 5 width + distance between them). This fully utilizes the space of the armrest 3 and increases storage functionality. Furthermore, by subtracting the overlap width between the phone holder 5 and the cup holder 4 from the width of the phone holder 5, the design still accommodates the thickness of most phones, allowing both the cup holder 4 and the phone holder 5 to store items simultaneously, thus ensuring their usability.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the phone slot 5 is positioned on the side of the cup holder 4 closest to the door, making it more convenient for passengers to grip beverage cups and bottles. Generally, since the width of a phone is smaller than the height of a beverage cup, the upper space required to pick up or place a phone is smaller, while the upper space required to pick up or place a beverage cup is larger. Therefore, when the phone slot 5 is positioned on the side of the cup holder 4 closest to the door, the door panel above the armrest 3 can still be designed with a certain curvature. The phone can be picked up or placed by rotating it outwards while placing / picking it up, which gives the door panel a more flexible design space.

[0022] In this embodiment, the door panel body 1 includes a center trim panel 2, and the armrest includes a body 301 and an assembly 302. The assembly 302 is fitted into the armrest body 301. Screw fixing positions 302a are provided at both the front and rear ends of the assembly 302, and a welding position 302b is provided in the middle. The assembly 302 is fixed to the center trim panel 2 by screws and welding, thereby improving structural strength. A cup holder 4 and a mobile phone slot 5 are provided on the assembly 302. To further reduce the space occupied by the cup holder 4 and the mobile phone slot 5, the mobile phone slot 5 is located on one side of the assembly 302, with one long side of the mobile phone slot 5 overlapping with the side of the assembly 302. That is, when the assembly 302 is viewed alone, the side of the mobile phone slot 5 that is not adjacent to the cup holder 4 is open. After the assembly 302 is connected to the center trim panel 2, the side of the mobile phone slot 5 that is not adjacent to the cup holder 4 is formed by the center trim panel 2 as the slot wall. This further reduces the width required for the armrest.

[0023] In addition, to improve the user experience and reduce noise caused by the bumps of the storage during vehicle movement, a rubber pad 6 is provided at the bottom of the cup holder 4 and the mobile phone slot 5. It is easy to understand that the rubber pad 6 can also be selectively added to the cup holder 4 and the mobile phone slot 5. The edge of the rubber pad 6 has a protrusion 601 extending along the wall of the cup holder 4 or the mobile phone slot 5, which makes it convenient for users to grab the protrusion 601 and remove the rubber pad 6 from the cup holder 4 and the mobile phone slot 5 for cleaning and maintenance.
