[0032] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 The glove box assembly according to the embodiments of the present utility model is simple in structure, convenient to use, and has multiple functions, improving integration and meeting different user needs, thereby improving the user experience.
[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a glove box assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a glove box body 1 and a glove box cover 2.
[0034] The glove box assembly is adapted to be retractably installed on the dashboard, the glove box body 1 forms an upwardly open storage space 11, the glove box cover 2 is movably installed above the glove box body 1, and the glove box cover 2 is adapted to selectively open or close the storage space 11 when the glove box assembly is pulled out of the dashboard.
[0035] The glove box assembly is located in front of the passenger seat. The glove box assembly can be opened by flipping or pulling, depending on factors such as vehicle space. The glove box assembly has a storage space that opens towards the passenger compartment when the glove box assembly is opened, allowing users to place miscellaneous items in the storage space to improve the tidiness of the vehicle interior and thus enhance the user's riding experience.
[0036] Specifically, the instrument panel is located at the front of the passenger compartment, with the steering wheel and other structures also positioned on the instrument panel and directly opposite the driver's seat in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The glove box assembly is also located on the instrument panel, directly opposite the passenger seat in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. This allows for the use of the space in front of the passenger seat to open and close the glove box assembly, improving space utilization and avoiding interference with driving, thus ensuring driving safety. The glove box assembly is designed to be pull-out relative to the instrument panel, meaning it can move parallel to the instrument panel in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
