Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle-mounted equipment technology, and more specifically, to a storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Some storage devices typically use mechanical locks, which lock the cover by installing a retractable latch. However, when the cover is open, the latch usually extends out of the cover. This design not only affects the aesthetics of the storage device but also poses some safety hazards in actual use. For example, the latch may scratch the user or may collide with other items and be damaged. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application includes, for example, providing a storage device that can conceal the latch when the cover is open, thereby reducing security risks.

[0004] The embodiments of this application can be implemented as follows:

[0005] An embodiment of this application provides a storage device, which includes a housing, a cover, a latch rod, and a limiting member. The cover is movably disposed on the housing, and the latch rod is movably disposed on the cover. During movement, the latch rod has a first position extending out of the cover and a second position retracting into the cover. The limiting member is disposed on the cover and is used to limit the latch rod in the second position so that the latch rod is held in the second position.

[0006] Optionally, the latch rod is provided with a stepped portion, and when the latch rod is in the second position, the limiting member can abut against the stepped portion to keep the latch rod in the second position.

[0007] Optionally, the limiting member is rotatably disposed on the cover plate, and the cover plate is provided with an elastic member that cooperates with the limiting member, the elastic member having a tendency to rotate the limiting member to abut against the step portion.

[0008] Optionally, the limiting member is provided with a supporting part and a triggering part, the cover plate is rotatably disposed on the box body, and the cover plate is provided with a through hole. Under the action of the elastic member, the supporting part can abut against the step part, and the triggering part can extend out of the through hole.

[0009] The housing is provided with a first unlocking part, which can push the trigger part into the through hole during the closing of the cover plate, thereby releasing the abutment part from the step part.

[0010] Optionally, the limiting member has a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface facing opposite directions, and the elastic member has a tendency to rotate the limiting member so that the first abutting surface abuts against the step portion;

[0011] The cover plate is movably disposed on the box body, and the box body is provided with a second unlocking part. The second unlocking part can push the second abutting surface during the closing of the cover plate, so that the first abutting surface is released from abutment with the step portion.

[0012] Optionally, the stepped portion has a first stepped surface and a second stepped surface connected to each other, the first stepped surface and the second stepped surface being arranged at an angle, and the limiting member having a pointed tip;

[0013] When the latch is in the first position, the tip abuts against the first step surface, and the tip forms line contact with the first step surface;

[0014] When the latch rod is in the second position, the limiting member abuts against the second step surface to keep the latch rod in the second position.

[0015] Optionally, the cover plate is provided with a first elastic reset member, which cooperates with the locking tongue rod, and the first elastic reset member has a tendency to move the locking tongue rod from the second position to the first position.

[0016] Optionally, the storage device further includes a handle and a linkage rod. The handle is rotatably mounted on the cover plate, and the linkage rod is movably mounted on the cover plate. The linkage rod cooperates with both the handle and the latch rod. The handle is used to drive the linkage rod to move during rotation, thereby driving the latch rod to move from the first position to the second position.

[0017] Optionally, the latch is provided with a driving part, the linkage rod is provided with a first mating slope for abutting and cooperating with the driving part, the locking tongue is provided with a mating part, and the linkage rod is provided with a second mating slope for abutting and cooperating with the mating part.

[0038] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The embodiments of this application provide a storage device 10, including a housing 100, a cover 200, a locking tongue 300, and a limiting member 400. The cover 200 is movably disposed on the housing 100, and the locking tongue 300 is movably disposed on the cover 200. During movement, the locking tongue 300 has a first position extending out of the cover 200 and a second position retracting into the cover 200. The limiting member 400 is disposed on the cover 200 and is used to limit the locking tongue 300 in the second position so that the locking tongue 300 is held in the second position.

[0041] The locking tongue 300 is movably disposed on the cover plate 200. During movement, it has a first position and a second position. The first position is when the locking tongue 300 extends out of the cover plate 200. At this time, the locking tongue 300 can be used to cooperate with the lock hole 110 on the housing 100 to lock the cover plate 200. The second position is when the locking tongue 300 is retracted into the cover plate 200. At this time, the locking tongue 300 is completely hidden inside the cover plate 200 to avoid the adverse effects of exposure. The limiting member 400 is used to limit the locking tongue 300 in the second position so that the locking tongue 300 can be kept in the second position and prevented from popping out when the cover plate 200 is opened.

[0042] During the process of opening the cover 200, the locking tongue 300 is driven by external force to move from the first position to the second position. The limiting member 400 limits the locking tongue 300 when it moves to the second position, ensuring that the locking tongue 300 is stably in the second position. This prevents the locking tongue 300 from being exposed when the cover 200 is open, thus effectively avoiding the risk of the locking tongue 300 colliding with other components and causing damage when the cover 200 is open, and improving the safety and aesthetics of the product.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 4-7In some embodiments, the latch bar 300 is provided with a stepped portion 310, and when the latch bar 300 is in the second position, the limiting member 400 can abut against the stepped portion 310 to keep the latch bar 300 in the second position.

[0044] The stepped portion 310 serves as a force-bearing structure for the limiting member 400 to apply force. It protrudes from the surface of the latch rod 300, allowing the limiting member 400 to contact and apply a limiting force. When the latch rod 300 moves from the first position to the second position under the action of an external force, the stepped portion 310 moves synchronously with the latch rod 300, and after the latch rod 300 reaches the second position, the limiting member 400 abuts against the stepped portion 310 to limit its movement.

[0045] When the locking tongue 300 is in the second position, the limiting member 400 and the step portion 310 form an effective limiting support, preventing the locking tongue 300 from retracting to the first position under the action of other external forces, thereby achieving stable holding of the locking tongue 300 in the second position. This limiting method is not only simple in structure and easy to manufacture, but also can effectively improve the locking reliability of the locking tongue 300 in the second position.

[0046] By providing a stepped portion 310 on the latch rod 300, and having the limiting member 400 abut against the stepped portion 310 when the latch rod 300 is in the second position, the limiting member 400 can mechanically retain the latch rod 300, preventing the latch rod 300 from retracting to the first position, and effectively concealing the latch rod 300 when the cover plate 200 is open.

[0047] In some embodiments, the limiting member 400 is rotatably disposed on the cover plate 200, and the cover plate 200 is provided with an elastic member that cooperates with the limiting member 400. The elastic member has a tendency to rotate the limiting member 400 to abut against the step portion 310.

[0048] The rotatable setting of the limiting member 400 allows the limiting member 400 to automatically adjust its contact state with the step portion 310 according to the movement state of the locking tongue rod 300, so that after the locking tongue rod 300 reaches the second position, it forms a stable mechanical abutment relationship with the step portion 310 through the rotation action.

[0049] An elastic element is mounted on the fixed base 220 and cooperates with the limiting element 400. Its function is to provide elastic force to the limiting element 400, so that the limiting element 400 always tends to rotate to abut against the step portion 310. The elastic element can be a torsion spring, with one end fixed to the fixed base 220 and the other end fixed to the limiting element 400. When the locking tongue 300 moves to the second position, the limiting element 400 rotates under the drive of the elastic element and finally abuts against the step portion 310, forming an effective limiting support and preventing the locking tongue 300 from retracting to the first position.

[0050] By setting the limiting member 400 as a rotatable component and combining it with the elastic driving action of the elastic member, the limiting member 400 can automatically adjust its relative position with the locking tongue rod 300 as the locking tongue rod 300 moves, thereby achieving stable abutment and limiting when the locking tongue rod 300 is in the second position.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the limiting member 400 is provided with a supporting part 420 and a triggering part 430. The cover plate 200 is rotatably disposed on the housing 100. The cover plate 200 is provided with a through hole 230. Under the action of the elastic member, the supporting part 420 can abut against the step part 310, and the triggering part 430 can extend out of the through hole 230. The housing 100 is provided with a first unlocking part. The first unlocking part can push the triggering part 430 into the through hole 230 during the closing process of the cover plate 200, thereby releasing the supporting part 420 from abutting against the step part 310.

[0052] The elastic element is the first elastic element 210. The abutting part 420 on the limiting member 400 can stably abut against the stepped part 310 on the locking tongue rod 300 under the action of the first elastic element 210. At the same time, the triggering part 430 on the limiting member 400 extends out of the through hole 230 on the cover plate 200 under the action of the first elastic element 210, forming a mechanical triggering point that can be used by the first unlocking part.

[0053] The abutting part 420 is used to form an abutting engagement with the stepped part 310 on the latch rod 300 to restrict the movement of the latch rod 300 and keep it in the second position; the triggering part 430 can extend out from the through hole 230 opened on the cover plate 200. Under the action of the first elastic member 210, the limiting member 400 always has a rotational tendency to abut the abutting part 420 and the stepped part 310, so that when the latch rod 300 is in the second position, the contact force between the abutting part 420 and the stepped part 310 prevents the latch rod 300 from retracting to the first position; at the same time, the triggering part 430 can extend out of the through hole 230 so that it can retract into the through hole 230 when it comes into contact with the first unlocking part on the housing 100.

[0054] The first unlocking part can be a first buffer pin 120. Correspondingly, a second buffer pin 240 can be provided on the cover plate 200, with the second buffer pin 240 partially exposed on the cover plate 200. When the cover plate 200 is closed, the first buffer pin 120 pushes the trigger part 430 back into the through hole 230 and then abuts against the second buffer pin 240, which has a buffering effect. The part where the first buffer pin 120 and the second buffer pin 240 contact can be made of rubber.

[0055] The cover plate 200 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 via the first pivot 290. During the rotational closing of the cover plate 200, as the cover plate 200 and the housing 100 rotate relative to each other, the first unlocking part will contact the trigger part 430 and apply a pushing force, causing the trigger part 430 to retract into the through hole 230. At this time, the limiting member 400 rotates, thereby causing the abutting part 420 to disengage from the abutting state with the step part 310. Once the abutting force between the abutting part 420 and the step part 310 disappears, the locking tongue 300 can move from the second position to the first position, that is, change from the state of being retracted into the cover plate 200 to the state of being extended out of the cover plate 200, and relock onto the housing 100.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 8 In another optional embodiment, the limiting member 400 has a first abutting surface 440 and a second abutting surface 450 facing opposite directions, and the elastic member has a tendency to rotate the limiting member 400 to abut the first abutting surface 440 against the step portion 310; the cover plate 200 is movably disposed on the housing 100, and the housing 100 is provided with a second unlocking part, which can push the second abutting surface 450 during the closing of the cover plate 200 so as to release the first abutting surface 440 from abutting the step portion 310.

[0057] The first abutting surface 440 is used to form an abutting engagement with the step portion 310 on the latch rod 300 when the latch rod 300 is in the second position, thereby restricting the movement of the latch rod 300 and keeping it in the state of being retracted into the cover plate 200; the elastic member is a second elastic member, under the action of the second elastic member, the limiting member 400 can rotate in the direction that makes the first abutting surface 440 abut against the step portion 310, thereby ensuring that the latch rod 300 can be stably limited; the second abutting surface 450 is oriented in the opposite direction to the first abutting surface 440 so as to form contact with the second unlocking part on the housing 100 and receive the force applied thereto during the closing of the cover plate 200.

[0058] With the cover 200 open, the latch 300 is in the second position. Under the action of the second elastic member, the limiting member 400 rotates until the first abutment surface 440 is in close contact with the step portion 310 on the latch 300, forming a limiting fit to prevent the latch 300 from retracting to the first position. During the closing of the cover 200, as the cover 200 moves relative to the housing 100, the second unlocking part on the housing 100 gradually approaches and contacts the second abutment surface 450 of the limiting member 400, applying a pushing force. At this time, the limiting member 400 rotates under the pushing force of the second unlocking part, causing the first abutment surface 440 to gradually disengage from the contact state with the step portion 310. Once the abutment relationship between the first abutment surface 440 and the step portion 310 is released, the latch 300 can move from the second position to the first position, changing from being retracted inside the cover 200 to being extended outside the cover 200, thus relocking itself to the housing 100.

[0059] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 4 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, the step portion 310 has a first step surface 311 and a second step surface 312 connected to each other, the first step surface 311 and the second step surface 312 being arranged at an included angle, and the limiting member 400 having a tip 421; when the locking tongue 300 is in the first position, the tip 421 abuts against the first step surface 311, and the tip 421 forms line contact with the first step surface 311; when the locking tongue 300 is in the second position, the limiting member 400 abuts against the second step surface 312, so that the locking tongue 300 is held in the second position.

[0060] The second step surface 312 can be perpendicular to the moving direction of the latch rod 300, and the first step surface 311 can be perpendicular to the second step surface 312. When the limiting member 400 is provided with a supporting part 420 and a trigger part 430, the tip 421 is provided on the supporting part 420. The tip 421 is used to form a line contact with the first step surface 311. During the movement of the latch rod 300 relative to the limiting member 400, it is beneficial to reduce the frictional resistance between the limiting member 400 and the step part 310.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the first step surface 311 extends to the tail end of the latch bar 300 in a direction away from the second step surface 312, or the first step surface 311 extends a certain distance in a direction away from the second step surface 312, as long as the tip 421 can always abut against the first step surface 311 when the latch bar 300 is in the first position.

[0062] When the latch lever 300 is in the first position, the tip 421 of the limiting member 400 forms a line contact with the first step surface 311 on the step portion 310. Since the line contact has a smaller contact area than the surface contact, it can effectively reduce the friction between the two, allowing the latch lever 300 to move smoothly from the first position to the second position under the drive of external force, thus overcoming friction and avoiding problems such as jamming or excessive operating force due to excessive friction. After the latch lever 300 moves to the second position, the limiting member 400 rotates under the action of the elastic member until the abutment portion 420 forms an abutment engagement with the second step surface 312 on the step portion 310. At this time, the latch lever 300 is effectively limited in the second position, preventing it from returning to the first position.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 9-11 In some embodiments, the cover plate 200 is provided with a first elastic reset member 250, which cooperates with the locking tongue rod 300. The first elastic reset member 250 has a tendency to move the locking tongue rod 300 from the second position to the first position.

[0064] The first elastic reset element 250 can be a common elastic element such as a spring or torsion spring. The first elastic reset element 250 can accumulate elastic potential energy when the latch rod 300 is in the second position, and release the energy after the limiting element 400 releases the limiting effect on the latch rod 300, thereby pushing the latch rod 300 to move from the second position to the first position.

[0065] With the cover plate 200 open, the latch rod 300 is in the second position. At this time, the limiting member 400, under the action of the elastic member, abuts against the step portion 310 on the latch rod 300, keeping the latch rod 300 in the second position and preventing it from being exposed. When the cover plate 200 is closed, the unlocking part on the housing 100 contacts the limiting member 400 and pushes it to rotate, causing the limiting member 400 to release its limiting effect on the latch rod 300. Once the limiting is released, the elastic force accumulated by the first elastic reset member 250 acts on the latch rod 300, pushing it to move from the second position to the first position until the latch rod 300 is fully extended out of the cover plate 200, restoring the locked state.

[0066] In some embodiments, the storage device 10 further includes a handle 500 and a linkage rod 600. The handle 500 is rotatably disposed on the cover plate 200, and the linkage rod 600 is movably disposed on the cover plate 200. The linkage rod 600 cooperates with both the handle 500 and the locking tongue rod 300. The handle 500 is used to drive the linkage rod 600 to move during rotation, thereby driving the locking tongue rod 300 to move from a first position to a second position.

[0067] A base 260 is provided on the cover plate 200. The handle 500 serves as the direct contact component for user operation. The handle 500 is rotatably mounted on the base 260 via the second pivot 520. The linkage rod 600 is movably mounted on the cover plate 200. Its movement direction is perpendicular to the movement direction of the latch rod 300. The linkage rod 600 forms a cooperative relationship with both the handle 500 and the latch rod 300. Thus, during the rotation of the handle 500, it can drive the linkage rod 600 to move. The linkage rod 600 further pushes the latch rod 300 from the first position to the second position.

[0068] When the user performs the unlocking operation, the lever 500 is rotated, causing the linkage rod 600 to shift. During this movement, the linkage rod 600 causes the latch rod 300 to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic reset member 250 and move from the first position to the second position. Once the latch rod 300 reaches the second position, the limiting member 400 rotates under the action of the elastic member until it forms a retaining engagement with the stepped portion 310 on the latch rod 300, thus stably maintaining the latch rod 300 in the second position and completing the unlocking action.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, the handle 500 is provided with a drive part 510, the linkage rod 600 is provided with a first mating slope 610 for abutting and engaging with the drive part 510, the locking tongue rod 300 is provided with a mating part 320, and the linkage rod 600 is provided with a second mating slope 620 for abutting and engaging with the mating part 320.

[0070] The drive unit 510 is an extension arm structure used to contact and apply force to the first mating inclined surface 610 on the linkage rod 600 during the rotation of the handle 500. The linkage rod 600 serves as a transmission structure, with the first mating inclined surface 610 forming a retaining engagement with the drive unit 510, and the second mating inclined surface 620 forming a retaining engagement with the mating part 320 on the latch rod 300. The mating part 320 on the latch rod 300 can be a column, used to receive the pushing force transmitted from the linkage rod 600, thereby driving the latch rod 300 to move from the first position to the second position.

[0071] As the user pulls the lever 500 to rotate it, the drive unit 510 on the lever 500 acts on the first mating inclined surface 610 on the linkage rod 600. As the lever 500 rotates, the drive unit 510 applies a pushing force to the first mating inclined surface 610, causing the linkage rod 600 to move. During the movement of the linkage rod 600, the second mating inclined surface 620 on it comes into contact with the mating part 320 of the latch rod 300, and further transmits the pushing force to the latch rod 300, causing it to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic reset member 250 and move from the first position to the second position, thus completing the unlocking action.

[0072] In some embodiments, the cover plate 200 is provided with a second elastic reset member 270 and a third elastic reset member 280, which cooperate with the handle 500 and the linkage rod 600 respectively to reset the handle 500 and the linkage rod 600.

[0073] The second elastic reset member 270 engages with the handle 500. The second elastic reset member 270 has a tendency to rotate the handle 500 back to its initial position. That is, after the user releases the handle 500, the second elastic reset member 270 provides a restoring force, causing the handle 500 to rotate in the opposite direction and return to its unactivated state. The third elastic reset member 280 engages with the linkage rod 600. The third elastic reset member 280 has a tendency to move the linkage rod 600 back along its movement path from its position after being pushed by the driven part 510. Therefore, after the handle 500 resets, the linkage rod 600 can also synchronously return to its undriven state.

[0074] During the user's operation of the lever 500, the lever 500 rotates, causing the linkage rod 600 to shift. At this time, the second elastic reset member 270 and the third elastic reset member 280 accumulate elastic potential energy due to the movement of the lever 500 and the linkage rod 600, respectively. When the user completes the operation and releases the lever 500, the elastic force accumulated by the second elastic reset member 270 causes the lever 500 to rotate in the opposite direction, returning to its initial position. Simultaneously, the elastic force accumulated by the third elastic reset member 280 pushes the linkage rod 600 to move back along its movement path, restoring it to its initial state before it was driven.

[0075] The cover plate 200 may optionally include a bottom plate 201 and a top plate 202 connected to each other, forming a cavity between the bottom plate 201 and the top plate 202. The latch rod 300, the limiting member 400, the fixing seat 220, the first elastic reset member 250, the linkage rod 600, the second elastic reset member 270, and the third elastic reset member 280 are all disposed on the bottom plate 201 and located within the cavity. The limiting member 400 is provided with a pin 410, and the cover plate 200 is provided with a fixing seat 220 that rotatably engages with the pin 410 to realize the rotation of the limiting member 400. The bottom plate 201 may also be provided with a limiting boss to limit the movement of the latch rod 300 and the linkage rod 600, so that the latch rod 300 and the linkage rod 600 can move stably in a predetermined direction and are not prone to deviating in other directions. The top plate 202 is provided with an opening for the handle 500 to be partially exposed so that the user can operate the handle 500.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, there are two locking tongue rods 300, which are arranged in parallel and move in the same direction. Correspondingly, there are two limiting members 400, two elastic members, two first elastic reset members 250, and two lock holes 110 on the housing 100. The two limiting members 400 are used to limit the two locking tongue rods 300 under the action of the two elastic members. The two first elastic reset members 250 are used to reset the two locking tongue rods 300 from the second position to the first position, and when the two locking tongue rods 300 are reset to the first position, they extend out of the cover plate 200 and lock into the two lock holes 110 on the housing 100.

[0077] Furthermore, when there are two locking tongue rods 300, the linkage rod 600 is provided with a second mating inclined surface 620 on each of the opposite sides. The two second mating inclined surfaces 620 are respectively used to abut against the mating part 320 on the two linkage rods 600 so as to drive the two locking tongue rods 300 to move simultaneously from the first position to the second position.

[0078] Figure 12 A schematic diagram is shown of the storage device 10 used as an armrest box in a car. It is understood that the storage device 10 can also be used as a glove box, and this is not a limitation.

[0079] In summary, this application provides a storage device 10, which includes a housing 100, a cover 200, a latch rod 300, and a limiting member 400. During the opening of the cover 200, the latch rod 300 is driven to move from a first position to a second position by pulling the lever 500. The limiting member 400 limits the latch rod 300 when it moves to the second position, ensuring that the latch rod 300 is stably in the second position and that the latch rod 300 is not exposed. This effectively avoids the risk of the latch rod 300 colliding with other components and being damaged when the cover 200 is open, thus improving the safety and aesthetics of the product.

[0080] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
