[0002] The dashboard glove box, also known as a car glove box, is used to provide storage and retrieval for items for passengers in the front seats of the vehicle. Most existing dashboard glove boxes use a design with a lid and a hinge with a single pivot point. The lid rotates around this pivot point to open and close the storage space. A portion of the lid and the hinge are located within the storage space, reducing the actual usable space inside the box. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a vehicle cabin built-in storage component that can reduce the storage space occupied to increase storage capacity, and provides an instrument panel assembly including the vehicle cabin built-in storage component, and further provides a vehicle including the instrument panel assembly.

[0004] The vehicle cabin built-in storage component of this utility model includes a storage unit, a door cover, and a flip-folding mechanism. The storage unit has an assembly part and an open storage space. The assembly part is used to connect the interior trim of the passenger cabin. The flip-folding mechanism connects the storage unit and the door cover. The flip-folding mechanism brings the door cover to the outside of the opening of the storage space by folding and brings the door cover away from the storage unit by extending.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the built-in storage component in the vehicle cabin of this utility model are: the existing hinge mechanism is replaced by a flip-folding mechanism, thereby increasing the degree of freedom of the door cover and allowing the door cover to be completely removed from the storage space. Driven by the flip-folding mechanism, the door cover performs a compound movement to open and close the storage space. When the flip-folding mechanism is in the folded state, the door cover closes the storage space outside the opening of the storage space without occupying the storage space, and the flip-folding mechanism occupies little storage space.

[0006] In some embodiments, the flip-folding mechanism includes a swing member and an actuator that are rotatably connected to form a folding center. The swing member includes a distal end rotatably connected to the storage component, and the actuator includes a proximal end rotatably connected to the door cover. The rotation centers of the distal and proximal ends are parallel to the folding center.

[0007] In some embodiments, the swinging member includes a first and a second link rotatably connected to the storage component, and the actuating member includes a third and a fourth link rotatably connected to the door cover, wherein the first link is hinged to the third link, and the second link is hinged to the fourth link; and,

[0008] The second link and the third link are arranged intersecting and hinged; or, the first link and the fourth link are arranged intersecting and hinged.

[0009] In some embodiments, the opening edge of the storage space includes a clearance edge connected to a flip-folding mechanism, and also includes a first and a second shaped opening edge spaced apart, wherein:

[0010] The first shape edge includes a first enclosure section that is higher than the avoidance edge and a first inclined section that connects the first enclosure section and the avoidance edge;

[0011] The second shape includes a second enclosure section that is higher than the avoidance enclosure section and a second inclined section that connects the second enclosure section and the avoidance enclosure section.

[0012] In some embodiments, the door cover includes a bent-connected cover body and an avoidance flange. When the flip-folding mechanism is folded, the first enclosure section and the second enclosure section are adapted to the cover body, and the first inclined section, the second inclined section, and the avoidance edge are adapted to the avoidance flange.

[0013] In some implementations, the door cover is connected to the flip-folding mechanism by avoiding the flap.

[0014] In some embodiments, the flip-folding mechanism includes a rotatably connected swing member and an actuator, with the ends of the swing member and the actuator rotatably connected to the storage unit and the door cover, respectively, away from each other. When the flip-folding mechanism is fully extended, the actuator abuts against and avoids the flipped edge.

[0015] In some embodiments, the storage unit includes a storage plate and a hinge seat. The storage plate has a clearance edge, and the hinge seat is fixed to one side of the storage plate for forming the inner wall of the storage space. The end of the flip-folding mechanism that is relatively far from the door cover is hinged to the hinge seat.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] This utility model provides a built-in storage component 100 for a vehicle cabin, and further provides an instrument panel assembly including the built-in storage component 100, and a vehicle including the instrument panel assembly. The built-in storage component 100, as part of the vehicle interior trim, provides occupants with the ability to access and store items. The built-in storage component 100 can be assembled with the instrument panel to form an instrument panel assembly, or it can be assembled with the armrest to form an armrest assembly. Both the instrument panel and the armrest are passenger cabin interior trim components.

[0028] Specifically, the built-in storage component 100 and the dashboard can be assembled to allow front-seat passengers to access items. In this case, the built-in storage component 100 can be the glove box for the front passenger seat. The armrest assembly obtained by assembling the built-in storage component 100 and the armrest can be set between the front driver's seat and the front passenger seat, or between the left and right rear passenger seats.

[0029] See Figure 1 The vehicle cabin built-in storage component 100 of this utility model includes a storage component 10 and a door cover 20. The storage component 10 is a hollow box structure, including an assembly part 15 and a storage space. The assembly part 15 is used to connect the interior trim of the passenger cabin, which includes the dashboard and armrest as described above. The storage space is used to place objects. The storage component 10 has an open end through which the storage space is connected. The open end has a storage opening that connects to the storage space. The door cover 20 is used to cover and open the storage opening to open and close the storage space.

[0030] Specifically, when the assembly unit 15 is connected to the instrument panel and the in-cabin storage component 100 is assembled with the instrument panel to form the dashboard assembly, the storage opening faces the front driver's seat or the front passenger seat; when the assembly unit 15 is connected to the armrest and the in-cabin storage component 100 is assembled with the armrest to form the armrest assembly, the storage opening can face either the roof or the center console area of ​​the dashboard.

[0031] Figures 1-6 The interior storage component 100 shown is adapted to connect with the dashboard to form a dashboard assembly, see reference. Figure 6 The assembly part 15 is a fixing buckle fixed to the outer wall of the storage component 10 housing. The dashboard has a storage component receiving cavity and a fixing seat located inside the storage component receiving cavity. The built-in storage component 100 allows the storage component 10 to be embedded entirely into the storage component receiving cavity, and is fixedly connected to the dashboard by the engagement of the assembly part 15 and the fixing seat. Preferably, the assembly part 15 and the storage component 10 housing body are integrally formed structures.

[0032] See Figure 1 See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The built-in storage component 100 also includes a flip-folding mechanism 30, which is configured to fold and extend under external force control. The flip-folding mechanism 30, through its folding motion, moves the door cover 20 closer to the opening end of the storage component 10 until the folding mechanism 30 is fully folded, bringing the door cover 20 to engage with the opening end. At this point, the door cover 20 closes the storage opening outside the storage space. Conversely, the flip-folding mechanism 30, through its extending motion, moves the door cover 20 away from the opening end of the storage component 10, opening the storage opening as the door cover 20 moves away from the opening end. The door cover 20 is always entirely outside the storage component 10.

[0033] Figure 1 This illustration shows the interior storage component 100 in the vehicle cabin when the folding mechanism 30 is fully folded. Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the flip-folding mechanism 30 after the folding is completed; Figure 2 and Figure 3 This illustration shows the interior storage component 100 of the vehicle cabin when the flip-folding mechanism 30 is fully extended. Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the fully extended flip-folding mechanism 30.

[0034] See Figures 2-5 In some embodiments, the flip-folding mechanism 30 includes a swing member 31 and an actuator 32 rotatably connected to form a folding center. The swing member 31 includes a distal end rotatably connected to the storage member 10, and the actuator 32 includes a proximal end rotatably connected to the door cover 20. The rotation centers of the distal end, the proximal end, and the folding center are parallel to each other. It can be understood that the flip-folding mechanism 30 is a planar motion mechanism.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figures 2-3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the swing member 31 includes a first link 311 and a second link 312 rotatably connected to the storage member 10. The actuator 32 includes a third link 321 and a fourth link 322 rotatably connected to the door cover 20. The first link 311 is hinged to the third link 321, and the second link 312 is hinged to the fourth link 322. The second link 312 and the third link 321 are arranged crosswise and hinged to each other. The hinge center of the second link 312 and the third link 321 is located between the two ends of the second link 312 and also between the two ends of the third link 321. The distal end includes a first distal end 3111 and a second distal end 3121, and the proximal end includes a first proximal end. 3211 and second proximal end 3221, first distal end 3111 is the end of the first link 311 that is relatively far away from the third link 321, second distal end 3121 is the end of the second link 312 that is relatively far away from the fourth link 322, first proximal end 3211 is the end of the third link 321 that is relatively far away from the first link 311, and second proximal end 3221 is the end of the fourth link 322 that is relatively far away from the second link 312; the folding center includes the hinge center between the second link 312 and the third link 321, the hinge center between the first link 311 and the third link 321, and the hinge center between the second link 312 and the fourth link 322.

[0036] When the flip-folding mechanism 30 completes folding, the angle between the first link 311 and the third link 321 reaches its minimum, the angle between the second link 312 and the fourth link 322 reaches its minimum, and the swing member 31 and the actuator 32 move closer to each other; when the flip-folding mechanism 30 is fully extended, the angle between the first link 311 and the third link 321 reaches its maximum, the angle between the second link 312 and the fourth link 322 reaches its maximum, and the swing member 31 and the actuator 32 move further apart from each other.

[0037] With this configuration, the storage unit 10, the flip-folding mechanism 30, and the door cover 20 form two four-bar linkages. The storage unit 10, the first link 311, the second link 312, and the third link 321 form one four-bar linkage, and the second link 312, the third link 321, the fourth link 322, and the door cover 20 form another four-bar linkage. The flip-folding mechanism 30 has a defined folding and extending motion trajectory, and the door cover 20 and the storage unit 10 have a defined relative motion trajectory. The door cover 20 will not produce erroneous movements that interfere with the occupants of the vehicle when opening and closing the storage opening.

[0038] It is understood that in other embodiments, the cross-connection of the second link 312 and the third link 321 and their mutual hinge can be cancelled, and the first link 311 and the fourth link 322 are cross-connected and hinged to each other.

[0039] See again Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figures 2-3 The illustrated in-cabin storage assembly 100 is adapted to be assembled with the dashboard to form an instrument panel assembly. The storage component 10 includes a loading platform 12, a first side wall 13, and a second side wall 14 for enclosing and forming a storage space. The loading platform 12 is used to support the weight of items in the storage space. The first side wall 13 and the second side wall 14 are spaced apart along the lateral direction of the vehicle and are respectively connected to the two sides of the loading platform 12. When the vehicle is traveling in a straight direction on a horizontal road, the horizontal direction perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel is the lateral direction of the vehicle. The opening edge of the storage space includes a clearance edge 121 formed on the loading platform 12, and also includes a first shaped edge 131 and a second shaped edge 141 formed on the first side wall 13 and the second side wall 14 and spaced apart. The storage opening is formed by the clearance edge 121, the first shaped edge 131, and the second shaped edge 141 together.

[0040] Specifically, the swing member 31 of the flipping and folding mechanism 30 is rotatably connected to the clearance edge 121. The first shaped clearance edge 131 includes a first enclosing section 1311 and a first inclined section 1312 that are bent. The second shaped clearance edge 141 includes a second enclosing section 1411 and a second inclined section 1412 that are bent. The first enclosing section 1311 and the second enclosing section 1411 are both higher than the clearance edge 121. That is, the first enclosing section 1311 and the second enclosing section 1411 protrude from the clearance edge 121 along the depth direction of the storage space. The two ends of the first inclined section 1312 are respectively connected to one end of the first enclosing section 1311 and one end of the clearance edge 121. The two ends of the second inclined section 1412 are respectively connected to the other end of the second enclosing section 1411 and the other end of the clearance edge 121.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the door cover 20 includes a bent and connected cover body 22 and an abutment flange 23. The door cover 20 is connected to the actuator 32 of the flip-folding mechanism 30 through the abutment flange 23. That is, the swing member 31 is rotatably connected to the carrying plate 12 at the far end relative to the actuator 32, and the actuator 32 is rotatably connected to the abutment flange 23 at the near end relative to the swing member 31. When the flip-folding mechanism 30 completes the folding and the storage opening is closed by the door cover 20, the first enclosure section 1311 is adapted to the cover body 22, the second enclosure section 1411 is adapted to the cover body 22, the first inclined section 1312 is adapted to the abutment flange 23, the second inclined section 1412 is adapted to the abutment flange 23, and the abutment edge 121 is adapted to the abutment flange 23. When the flip-folding mechanism 30 is fully extended and the storage opening is opened, the actuator 32 abuts against the side of the abutment flange 23 closest to the storage space.

[0042] With this configuration, the clearance edge 121, the first inclined section 1312, and the second inclined section 1412 create a clearance notch at the opening end of the storage unit 10. The bending angle between the cover body 22 and the clearance flange 23 matches the clearance notch, thus providing more legroom for the passenger in the front passenger seat. The clearance flange 23 allows the storage unit 10 to avoid the passenger's knees, allowing the passenger's knees to be placed below the clearance flange 23. When the passenger applies force to the side of the cover body 22 that is relatively away from the clearance flange 23 to open or close the storage space, the hands will not interfere with the legs when applying force, making it convenient to open and close the door cover 20. When the flip-folding mechanism 30 is fully extended, the actuator 32 abuts against and reacts to the clearance flange 23 to maintain the open state of the door cover 20, eliminating the need for the passenger to manually maintain the door cover 20, making it convenient for the passenger to take out and put in items.

[0043] Optionally, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the storage unit 10 also includes a hinge seat 11 fixedly installed on the loading plate 12. The hinge seat 11 can be fixedly installed on the clearance edge 121. The door cover 20 also includes a connecting rod seat 21 fixedly installed on the clearance flange 23. The first distal end 3111 of the first connecting rod 311 and the second distal end 3121 of the second connecting rod 312 are hinged to the hinge seat 11. The first proximal end 3211 of the third connecting rod 321 and the second proximal end 3221 of the fourth connecting rod 322 are hinged to the connecting rod seat 21.

[0044] With this configuration, the assembly of the vehicle compartment built-in storage component 100 can be carried out in the following order: first, connect the swing member 31 and the actuator 32, then connect the swing member 31 and the hinge seat 11, and connect the actuator 32 and the linkage seat 21, and finally fix the hinge seat 11 to the cargo plate 12 and fix the linkage seat 21 to the clearance flange 23, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the vehicle compartment built-in storage component 100.

[0045] The dashboard assembly of this utility model includes a dashboard and a cabin-integrated storage component 100, which is used to assemble with the dashboard to form the dashboard assembly. Figures 1-3 As shown, the assembly unit 15 is fixedly connected to the dashboard. The built-in storage component 100 can be positioned opposite either the driver's seat or the passenger seat. When the built-in storage component 100 is positioned opposite the driver's seat, the storage space can hold items such as tickets, wallets, and mobile phones. When the built-in storage component 100 is positioned opposite the passenger seat, the storage space can also hold items such as umbrellas, water bottles, and backpacks.

[0046] The beneficial effects of the built-in storage component 100 in the vehicle cabin of this utility model are as follows: the existing hinge mechanism is replaced by the flip-folding mechanism 30, thereby increasing the degree of freedom of movement of the door cover 20, and the door cover 20 can be completely moved out of the storage space. Under the drive of the flip-folding mechanism 30, the door cover 20 performs a compound movement to open and close the storage space; when the flip-folding mechanism 30 is in the folded state, the door cover 20 closes the storage space outside the opening of the storage space without occupying the storage space, and the flip-folding mechanism 30 occupies little storage space.

[0047] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
