Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive storage box technology, specifically to an electric drive structure for an automotive storage box. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive industry is rapidly iterating towards intelligence, connectivity, and humanization. As the core carrier of user interaction with the vehicle, the interior's functionality, ease of operation, and user experience have become key dimensions for automakers to create differentiated competitive advantages. Among these, the car storage box, as a frequently used functional component in the interior, not only plays a basic role in storing everyday items and improving the utilization of cabin space, but its user experience also directly affects users' perception of the overall quality of the vehicle's interior.

[0003] However, the storage compartments in most mainstream vehicles on the market still primarily use traditional manual opening and closing mechanisms, which have significant functional limitations. When drivers and passengers are operating the steering wheel, concentrating on the road, or holding items, manually opening or closing the storage compartment requires distraction and adjustment of hand movements, making it not only cumbersome but also potentially posing a safety hazard.

[0004] Against this backdrop, traditional manual storage boxes can no longer meet users' upgraded demands for convenience, safety, and intelligence in the cabin, necessitating a drive structure for automotive storage boxes that can be adapted to the vehicle's electronic control system and achieve automated opening and closing. Therefore, an electric drive structure for automotive storage boxes is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electric drive structure for an automotive storage box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electric drive structure for an automotive storage box, comprising a storage box body, with covers rotatably connected to both sides of the opening of the storage box body, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two covers, a drive component providing linear drive rotatably connected to the inner side of the storage box body, a linkage mechanism installed between the drive component and the connecting plate, and the drive component being electrically connected to a vehicle controller.

[0007] Preferably, the linkage mechanism includes a rhomboid follower shaft plate, the middle of which is rotatably connected to the storage box, and both ends of the follower shaft plate are rotatably connected to one end of a follower shaft arm.

[0008] Preferably, the other end of the follower shaft arm is rotatably connected to a connecting plate, the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the inner side of the storage box, and one end of the connecting shaft is also rotatably connected to the connecting plate, the other end of the connecting shaft being rotatably connected to a connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, a drive plate is mounted on the output rod of the drive component, and the end of the drive plate is rotatably connected to one end of the follower shaft plate.

[0010] Preferably, the driving component is an electric telescopic rod or a linear motor.

[0011] Preferably, each of the two covers has a beveled surface on an adjacent side, and the beveled surfaces on the two covers fit together.

[0012] Preferably, the two connecting plates are located on the side of the two covers away from the inclined surface.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This structure, through the coordinated transmission of the driving component and the linkage mechanism, precisely converts the linear motion of the driving component into the rotational motion of the lid, realizing the fully automated opening and closing of the storage box lid and completely replacing traditional manual operation. There is no need to manually touch the lid, which effectively avoids distraction due to manual operation, especially in driving scenarios, reducing driving safety risks. It also solves the pain point of not being able to easily open the storage box when holding items, significantly improving operational convenience in different usage scenarios.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides a technical solution: an electrically driven structure for an automotive storage box, including a storage box body 1 for storing items, and covers 2 for closing the opening rotatably connected to both sides of the opening of the storage box body 1. Connecting plates 3 for transmitting power are fixedly connected to the bottom of each cover 2. A drive component 5 providing linear drive power is rotatably connected to the inner side of the storage box body 1. A linkage mechanism 4 is installed between the drive component 5 and the connecting plates 3 to convert the linear motion of the drive component 5 into the rotational motion of the cover 2. Power is provided by the drive component 5 and transmitted to the connecting plates 3 via the linkage mechanism 4, driving the cover 2 to rotate, thus achieving automatic opening and closing of the cover 2 without manual operation, improving ease of use and adapting to automotive automation scenarios. The drive component 5 is electrically connected to the vehicle controller via a CAN bus. The vehicle controller can receive user voice commands, and after recognition and verification, sends a power signal to the drive component 5 to achieve automatic opening of the cover 2. A manual opening button can also be installed on the vehicle's instrument panel.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the linkage mechanism 4 includes a rhomboid-shaped follower shaft plate 44 that can rotate around its center. The center of the follower shaft plate 44 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage box 1. Both ends of the follower shaft plate 44 are rotatably connected to one end of a follower shaft arm 43 for transmitting the movement of the follower shaft plate 44. When the rhomboid-shaped follower shaft plate 44 rotates, it can stably drive the follower shaft arms 43 at both ends to move synchronously.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown: The other end of the follower arm 43 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 42, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage box 1. One end of a connecting shaft 41 is also rotatably connected to the connecting plate 42, and the other end of the connecting shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting plate 3 away from the cover 2. The connecting plate 42 can change the direction of movement of the follower arm 43, and accurately transmit the movement to the connecting plate 3 in conjunction with the connecting shaft 41.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: A drive plate 45 for connecting the follower shaft plate 44 is fixedly installed at the end of the output rod of the drive component 5. The drive plate 45 enables the driving force to be applied more evenly to the follower shaft plate 44, ensuring smooth power transmission.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown: Drive component 5 is either an electric telescopic rod capable of linear reciprocating motion or a linear motor capable of outputting stable linear power. Both the electric telescopic rod and the linear motor feature stable power and high control precision, and can be flexibly selected according to the installation space and power requirements of the car storage box. Both can achieve precise start-stop and stroke control through the electronic control system, adapting to the intelligent control requirements of automobiles and facilitating linkage with the vehicle's overall control system.

[0023] like Figure 2As shown: Both lids 2 have beveled surfaces 21 on their sides that are close to each other, which are used to achieve a tight seal. When the two lids 2 are closed, the beveled surfaces 21 on the two lids 2 can fit together. The fitting design of the beveled surfaces 21 can eliminate gaps when the two lids 2 are closed, improve the sealing of the storage box, prevent items from falling out of the box and dust from entering. At the same time, the beveled surfaces can reduce the impact force when closing, reduce closing noise, and improve the user experience.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown: Two connecting plates 3 are respectively fixedly installed on the side of the two covers 2 away from the inclined surface 21. This further ensures the synchronicity of the opening and closing movements and prevents the covers 2 from tilting or jamming due to uneven force.

[0025] Working principle: This structure is triggered by the vehicle's electronic control system. When it is opened, the user issues a request via voice command or manual button on the instrument panel. The vehicle controller sends a command to the drive unit 5 via the CAN bus. The output rod of the drive unit 5 extends and drives the drive plate 45, causing the rhomboid follower shaft plate 44 to rotate around the fixed point inside the storage box 1. The two ends of the follower shaft plate 44 pull the follower shaft arm 43 synchronously, which in turn pushes the connecting plate 42 to swing. The connecting plate 42 drives the connecting plate 3 through the connecting shaft 41, and finally causes the two covers 2 to rotate upward around the opening of the storage box 1 and open synchronously.

[0026] When closing, the process is reversed. The output rod of the drive unit 5 retracts and pulls the drive plate 45. The follower shaft plate 44 rotates in the opposite direction and pushes the follower shaft arm 43. After the connecting plate 42 swings in the opposite direction, it pulls the connecting plate 3 through the connecting shaft 41, causing the cover 2 to rotate downward until the inclined surfaces 21 of the two covers 2 on adjacent sides are completely in contact to achieve a seal. After receiving the stop command, the drive unit 5 stops its operation and completes the closing.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
