Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glove box technology, specifically to an electric opening structure for an instrument panel glove box. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive industry is rapidly evolving towards full intelligence and electrification. Consumers' demands for vehicles have expanded beyond basic transportation functions to include a synergistic upgrade in the convenience, technological sophistication, and overall user experience of interior interaction. As a core storage component frequently used in automotive interiors, the glove box's operation directly impacts the user's daily experience. Optimizing its functionality has become a crucial detail for automakers to enhance product competitiveness and create differentiated interior experiences.

[0003] However, most mainstream vehicle models on the market still use a traditional manual opening mechanism for their glove boxes. Drivers and passengers must manually pry open the lid by engaging the latches, pressing mechanical buttons, and then manually flipping the lid to open it. Closing also requires manually pushing and closing the lid to lock it in place. This operating mode has several limitations. While driving, if the driver needs to temporarily access items in the glove box, they must reach under the dashboard, potentially causing their attention to wander and increasing driving safety hazards. Furthermore, as vehicle infotainment systems, seat adjustments, window controls, and trunk opening increasingly utilize voice commands or touch-sensitive electric controls, the manually operated glove box becomes disconnected from the overall intelligent interior operating system, disrupting users' expectations for seamless intelligent interaction and diminishing the overall technological feel of the interior.

[0004] Therefore, developing an electrically operated glove box opening structure for dashboards that is adaptable to intelligent operating scenarios and effectively improves ease of use and safety, filling the functional gap of traditional manual structures, has significant practical importance and market application value. To this end, an electrically operated glove box opening structure for dashboards is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: an electrically operated glove box opening structure for an instrument panel, comprising an instrument panel body 1, with a pre-drilled mounting groove on the inner side of the instrument panel body 1, and a glove box body 2 fixedly mounted in the groove by bolts. A drive motor 6 is detachably mounted on the outer wall of the glove box body 2 via a motor bracket. The drive motor 6 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 an energizing signal to the drive motor 6 to realize the automatic opening of the glove box. A manual opening button can also be installed on the vehicle instrument panel.

[0021] The output shaft of the drive motor 6 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 3, and the drive shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the glove box 2 via bearings. A drive arm 4 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 3, and the other end of the drive arm 4 away from the drive shaft 3 is connected to the glove box cover 5.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown: The drive arm 4 includes a drive plate 41. A connecting block 42 is installed on one side of the drive plate 41. The connecting block 42 has a cuboid structure and is used for detachable connection with subsequent components to facilitate later maintenance and replacement.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown: A rotating arm 43 is fixedly installed on the connecting block 42 by bolts. The other end of the rotating arm 43 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 44, which is fastened to a preset mounting point on one side of the glove box cover 5 by bolts to ensure the connection stability between the rotating arm 43 and the glove box cover 5.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown: The rotating arm 43 includes a long, narrow second connecting arm 432. The length of the second connecting arm 432 is designed according to the opening stroke of the glove box cover 5 to ensure that the glove box cover 5 can be fully opened to its maximum angle. A first connecting arm 431 and a third connecting arm 433 are integrally formed at both ends of the second connecting arm 432. Both the first connecting arm 431 and the third connecting arm 433 have rectangular cross-sections. The end of the first connecting arm 431 is connected to the connecting block 42. The end of the third connecting arm 433 is connected to the fixing block 44.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown: the first connecting arm 431 and the third connecting arm 433 are vertically mounted at both ends of the second connecting arm 432, and the angle between the first connecting arm 431 and the second connecting arm 432 is 90°, and the angle between the third connecting arm 433 and the second connecting arm 432 is also 90°, forming a "Z" shaped structure. This structure can change the direction of motion by transmitting force when the drive shaft 3 rotates, converting the rotational motion of the drive shaft 3 into the flipping motion of the glove box cover 5, while ensuring a smooth opening trajectory of the glove box cover 5 and avoiding interference with the instrument panel body 1.

[0026] Working principle: When the user issues a voice command, the vehicle controller receives and recognizes the command. After successful verification, it sends a power signal to the drive motor 6 installed on the outer wall of the glove box 2. If the user chooses to manually open the glove box, pressing the manual opening button on the vehicle instrument panel will also trigger the vehicle controller to supply power to the drive motor 6. After the drive motor 6 is powered on, it starts, and its output shaft drives the drive shaft 3, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate synchronously. The drive shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the glove box 2 through bearings to ensure rotational stability. The drive arm 4 installed on the drive shaft 3 moves synchronously. The drive plate 41 in the drive arm 4 is fixed to the drive shaft 3, and the connecting block 42 on one side of the drive plate 41 rotates with the drive plate 41, thereby driving the rotating arm 43 connected to the connecting block 42.

[0027] The rotating arm 43 has a "Z"-shaped structure, which can convert the rotational motion of the drive shaft 3 into a linear flipping motion. The first connecting arm 431 receives the power from the connecting block 42, and transmits it to the third connecting arm 433 via the second connecting arm 432, changing the direction of power transmission to avoid interference with the instrument panel body 1. The third connecting arm 433 is connected to the fixed block 44, and the power is finally transmitted to the fixed block 44. The fixed block 44 is installed on one side of the glove box cover 5, so the fixed block 44 drives the glove box cover 5 to flip smoothly along a preset trajectory, realizing the opening of the glove box. If it needs to be closed, the vehicle controller controls the drive motor 6 to run in reverse, and each component moves in reverse according to the above process, driving the glove box cover 5 to reset.

[0028] 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.
