Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and in particular to a roller shutter privacy partition for automotive center consoles. Background Technology

[0002] As the automotive consumer market continues to demand higher levels of functionality and privacy in interior design, the privacy and ease of use of storage space in the car's center console area, a frequently used area, has become a core pain point for users. Currently, most mainstream car center consoles adopt open or flip-top designs. Open designs lack privacy protection, making it easy for users to see their stored phones, documents, and accessories, and there is a risk of items slipping out while the vehicle is in motion. While flip-top designs offer some privacy, the flip structure occupies vertical space in the center console area, and can easily interfere with accessories such as phone holders and air fresheners on the center console when opening and closing. Furthermore, after long-term use, the flip hinge is prone to loosening, making noises, and other problems, limiting its lifespan.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, some manufacturers have introduced car storage devices with roller shutter structures. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN207889636U, published on September 21, 2018, discloses a car storage roller shutter box. This patent achieves roller shutter sliding by setting a track on the inner wall of the housing, but it has the following key drawbacks: 1. High structural integration leads to high maintenance and replacement costs: The track and shell are molded as one piece, and the roller is a fixed component inside the shell. If the roller shutter is worn, the track is stuck, or the roller malfunctions, the damaged parts cannot be disassembled and replaced individually. The entire storage box needs to be replaced, which not only increases the user's maintenance costs but also generates a large number of waste parts, which does not conform to the concept of green environmental protection.

[0004] 2. Poor versatility and limited compatibility: This device is custom-designed for the center console box of a specific car model. The track size, drum position and shell structure are strongly bound together, making it impossible to flexibly adjust according to the internal space size of the center console box of different brands and car models. It is difficult to adapt to the diverse car center console layouts on the market, which limits its application in the aftermarket and cross-model production scenarios.

[0005] In summary, existing automotive center console storage roller shutter devices have significant shortcomings in terms of structural detachability and vehicle model adaptability. There is an urgent need for a modular and highly adaptable roller shutter privacy partition solution to meet users' comprehensive needs for center console storage. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model provides a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0007] A roller shutter privacy partition for automotive center console, comprising an automotive center console box and a flexible roller shutter; The flexible roller blind is provided with side panels on both the front and rear sides, and the two side panels are symmetrically arranged in front and behind each other. The inner side of the side panel is formed with roller blind storage groove, and the flexible roller blind is slidably installed between the two roller blind storage grooves. The bottom side of the left end of the side plate is formed with a positioning edge, and a positioning cap is integrally formed on the inner side of the positioning edge. A connecting shaft is snapped between the positioning caps of the two side plates. A limiting component is provided on the bottom side of the right end of the side panel, and the limiting components of the two side panels can be detachably installed on the front and rear sides of the car's central control box.

[0008] Furthermore: the roller blind storage slot includes a straight segment and an arc segment, which are interconnected and form the shape of the number "6". When the soft roller blind is closed, it is placed in the straight segment of the two roller blind storage slots, and when the soft roller blind is open, it is placed in the arc segment of the two roller blind storage slots.

[0009] Furthermore: the straight segment is integrally formed and disposed on the top edge inside the side plate, and the arc segment is integrally formed and disposed on the inner side of the positioning edge.

[0010] Furthermore: both ends of the connecting shaft are formed with slots, and the positioning cap is inserted into the slots. The left and right sides of the positioning cap are formed with grooves, and the grooves are integrally formed with snap-fit ​​edges. The left and right sides of the slot are formed with snap-fit ​​positions, and the snap-fit ​​edges are fitted into the snap-fit ​​positions with a gap fit.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer side of the connecting shaft is formed with several evenly distributed weight-reducing grooves.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper side of the flexible roller blind away from the connecting shaft is formed with a toggle handle.

[0013] Furthermore: a magnetic groove is formed on the lower side of the flexible roller blind away from the connecting shaft, and a magnet is fixedly installed in the magnetic groove. A Hall switch and a light are fixedly installed in the car's central control box. When the flexible roller blind slides in the two roller blind storage slots, the light is turned on and off by the magnet moving closer to or away from the Hall switch.

[0014] Furthermore: the limiting component is integrally formed on the bottom side of the right end of the side plate, and a screw positioning hole is formed on the right side inside the car's central control box. A screw hole is formed on the limiting component, and the screw hole and the screw positioning hole are aligned with each other. A bolt is installed through the screw hole, and the inner end of the bolt is screwed and locked in the screw positioning hole.

[0015] Furthermore: the limiting component is formed with a positioning buckle, the limiting component is integrally formed and set on the bottom side of the right end of the side plate, and the right side inside the car center console box is formed with a buckle groove, and the positioning buckle is fitted and fastened in the buckle groove with a gap fit.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom side of the flexible roller blind is fixedly equipped with several positioning strips arranged in an equidistant array, and the front and rear ends of the positioning strips are respectively slidably fitted into the roller blind storage groove in the side plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The device is disassembled into four independent components: the car's central control box, the flexible roller blind, the side panels, and the connecting shaft. Each component is assembled using a detachable structure such as snap-fit ​​and bolt connection. When the flexible roller blind wears out, the side panel track gets stuck, or the connecting shaft fails, it is not necessary to replace the entire central control box. Only the damaged parts need to be replaced to restore the function, reducing maintenance costs by more than 60% and reducing the generation of waste parts, which is in line with the concept of green manufacturing.

[0018] 2. The side panel is detachably connected to the car's center console box via a limiting component. The side panel size can be adjusted according to the front and rear width and internal height of the center console box of different models, and the length of the connecting shaft can also be adapted as needed. The "6"-shaped structure of the roller blind storage slot is compatible with soft roller blinds of different lengths, realizing the adaptation to center console boxes of various models such as sedans, SUVs, and MPVs. This solves the adaptation limitation of the existing device of "one version for one vehicle", greatly expanding the market application scope of the product, and is especially suitable for the large-scale production of the automotive aftermarket and third-party parts manufacturers.

[0019] 3. Positioning strips are set at equal intervals on the bottom side of the flexible roller blind. The front and rear ends of the positioning strips are embedded in the roller blind storage groove of the side plate to form a multi-point guiding structure. Compared with the existing technology where the roller blind slides directly with the track, this design can control the sliding deviation of the roller blind within 0.5mm, effectively avoiding the roller blind offset and jamming problems after long-term use, and increasing the sliding life to more than 5,000 times.

[0020] 4. A toggle handle is provided at the end of the flexible roller blind away from the connecting shaft. Users can quickly push the roller blind to open and close it by pushing the handle without directly touching the edge of the roller blind, making the operation more comfortable. Especially during driving, the opening and closing action can be completed with one hand, which greatly improves the convenience of operation and reduces the risk of distraction while driving.

[0021] 5. Through the linkage structure of "magnet + Hall switch + lighting", the opening and closing of the flexible roller blind and the lighting are automatically controlled. When the flexible roller blind is opened, the magnet moves away from the Hall switch, the circuit is connected, and the lighting automatically turns on, providing sufficient light for taking and putting in items. When the flexible roller blind is closed, the magnet moves closer to the Hall switch, the circuit is disconnected, and the lighting automatically turns off. There is no need for the user to manually operate the interior dome light, especially at night or in dim environments, avoiding the problem of the light operation distracting the driver's attention, improving driving safety, and achieving energy saving.

[0022] 6. When the flexible roller blind is fully closed, it can completely cover the items inside the control box, preventing external observation and meeting the user's privacy protection needs. In addition, the straight and curved sections of the roller blind storage groove work together to ensure that the flexible roller blind fits tightly against the inner wall of the control box when closed, eliminating the risk of light leakage or items slipping out. Compared with an open control box, it can effectively avoid the probability of items slipping out, and the storage security is significantly improved.

[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a roller shutter privacy partition for automotive center consoles, comprising an automotive center console box 1 and a flexible roller shutter 2. The flexible roller blind 2 is provided with side panels 3 on both the front and rear sides. The two side panels 3 are symmetrically arranged in front and behind each other. The inner side of the side panel 3 is formed with roller blind storage groove 4. The flexible roller blind 2 is slidably installed between the two roller blind storage groove 4. The bottom side of the left end of the side plate 3 is formed with a positioning edge 5, and a positioning cap 6 is integrally formed on the inner side of the positioning edge 5. A connecting shaft 7 is snapped between the positioning caps 6 of the two side plates 3. A limiting component 8 is provided on the bottom side of the right end of the side plate 3. The limiting components 8 of the two side plates 3 can be detachably installed on the front and rear sides of the car's central control box 1, respectively. The principle is as follows: First, the flexible roller blind 2 is placed in the roller blind storage slots 4 of the two side panels 3. Then, the two side panels 3 are detachably assembled into the car center console box 1. The connecting shaft 7 is installed between the positioning caps 6 of the two side panels 3 by snap-fit. Since the car center console box 1, side panels 3, flexible roller blind 2 and connecting shaft 7 are all separate parts, they can be stored before installation, occupying little space. They can be assembled in different car center console boxes 1, with a wide range of applications. There is no need to replace the entire car center console box 1 during installation and use, which is convenient for actual use.

[0033] Furthermore, the roller blind storage slot 4 includes a straight section 41 and an arc-shaped section 42, which are interconnected and form the shape of the number "6". When the soft roller blind 2 is closed, it is placed in the straight section 41 of the two roller blind storage slots 4, and when the soft roller blind 2 is open, it is placed in the arc-shaped section 42 of the two roller blind storage slots 4; this facilitates the sliding opening and closing of the soft roller blind 2 between the two side panels 3.

[0034] Furthermore, the straight segment 41 is integrally formed and set on the top edge of the side plate 3, and the arc segment 42 is integrally formed and set on the inner side of the positioning edge 5; making the setting of the roller blind storage groove 4 in the side plate 3 more secure.
