Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a push-pull automotive storage box. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive industry, with the rapid development of the social economy and the significant improvement of people's living standards, automobiles have gradually evolved from simple means of transportation into an important part of people's mobile living spaces. People's needs for cars are no longer limited to basic driving functions, but increasingly emphasize the comfort, convenience, and functionality of the in-car environment. As an indispensable storage component in the car, the rationality and practicality of car storage boxes are particularly important. A well-designed storage box can not only help users store various items such as mobile phones, wallets, and tickets in an orderly manner, but also effectively improve the tidiness and utilization of the in-car space, making the in-car environment more beautiful and comfortable, and bringing users a more pleasant driving experience.

[0003] Currently, most car storage box designs remain at the level of traditional static storage functionality. Traditional car storage boxes mainly adopt fixed or simple sliding rail designs. Fixed storage boxes have a simple structure, are directly installed in a specific location inside the car, and have good stability, but lack flexibility, and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the user's actual needs. Users find it difficult to rationally plan storage space according to the size and quantity of items. Simple sliding rail storage boxes have a sliding rail installed at the bottom of the box, which enables the storage box to be pulled out. However, this design is relatively limited in function, only achieving basic pull-out functionality, and cannot meet users' diverse needs for storage boxes. In addition, the lid of current push-pull car storage boxes is usually offset from the box body, which takes up part of the storage space in actual use.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned existing technologies, fixed and simple sliding rail storage boxes lack flexibility and versatility, failing to meet users' needs for convenient and dynamic storage and retrieval of items. Furthermore, the current design of sliding car storage boxes, with the lid offset from the box body, severely reduces the space utilization rate, preventing users from fully utilizing the internal space to store more items. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problem of low space utilization in existing car storage boxes due to the extra space occupied by the sliding cover when opened, this application provides a sliding car storage box, employing the following technical solution: A push-pull car storage box includes a box body and a push-pull cover. The top of the box body has an opening, and guide rails are provided on both sides of the opening. The guide rails include a horizontal section extending horizontally along the edge of the opening and an arc-shaped section bending downward from the end of the horizontal section and toward the outer side of the box body. The push-pull cover includes a plurality of cover pieces connected in sequence. Each cover piece has a guide block at its bottom, and the guide block is slidably disposed within the guide rail. During the opening of the push-pull cover, the arc-shaped section of the guide rail guides the plurality of cover pieces to slide and bend, so that the push-pull cover is retracted and abuts against the outer side of the box body.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the multi-section connected cover can move along a guide rail along a specific path and bend through the guidance of horizontal and arc sections, and finally be completely stored on the outer side of the box, avoiding the occupation of extra space by traditional external sliding rails and greatly improving the space utilization rate of the car storage box.

[0007] Optionally, adjacent cover plates are connected by a hinge.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple cover plates can rotate relative to each other, providing a basis for the bending and storage of the cover plate.

[0009] Optionally, two adjacent covers can be connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a simple and reliable hinge implementation method is provided, which is convenient for assembly and conducive to mass production.

[0011] Optionally, a limiting plate is provided at the end of the arc-shaped section of the guide rail.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the final stroke of the guide block in the arc section is mechanically limited, preventing damage caused by excessive opening of the mechanism.

[0013] Optionally, the inner wall of the box is provided with a wireless charging module, the outer surface of the wireless charging module is flush with the inner wall of the box, and the wireless charging module remains exposed when the sliding cover is retracted and abuts against the outer side of the box.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the charging function and storage space are integrated into one. The design of the wireless charging module flush with the inner wall does not affect the storage and can be exposed and used when the cover is opened. This solves the problems of messy cables and functional separation, and is convenient to use.

[0015] Optionally, a hovering mechanism is also included, which includes a guide wheel disposed in the guide rail and a hovering torsion spring sleeved on the guide wheel shaft. The guide wheel surface has a spiral groove into which the guide block partially extends, and the friction between the guide block and the wall of the spiral groove is greater than the rebound torque of the hovering torsion spring.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and through mechanical balance design, the cover can reliably remain stationary at any position during the push-pull stroke, realizing one-handed operation and on-demand opening, greatly improving the convenience of dynamic access.

[0017] Optionally, the hovering mechanism further includes a friction-enhancing block, which extends partially into the spiral groove to compensate for the wear of the friction pair and adapt to changes in the coefficient of friction under different ambient temperatures.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction-enhancing block can compensate for the change in the material friction coefficient caused by temperature changes and compensate for the wear of the friction pair generated during use, ensuring that the suspension mechanism has stable and reliable performance in long-term use and in various environments where the vehicle is located.

[0019] Optionally, the spiral groove has a first groove surface for defining a fully closed position and a second groove surface for defining a fully open position.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, clear tactile or auditory feedback is provided to users, enabling them to clearly perceive whether the cover is fully open or closed, thus improving the human-computer interaction experience.

[0021] Optionally, a locking mechanism may also be included, which includes a locking block retractably mounted on the guide rail and a locking torsion spring for providing elastic force.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, a stable source of elastic force is provided for the locking mechanism, ensuring the reliability of the locking function.

[0023] Optionally, when the push-pull cover is in the fully closed state, the locking block extends under the action of the locking torsion spring and inserts between two adjacent guide blocks to achieve locking.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution and through the unique design of the locking block being inserted between the guide block, a more reliable and precise mechanical locking is achieved, effectively preventing accidental opening due to vibration during vehicle operation.

[0025] Optionally, applying external force to the push-pull cover can cause the guide block to press the locking block back.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the unlocking operation is intuitive and simple, requiring no additional steps; simply push or pull the cover to release the lock.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By setting guide rails with horizontal and curved sections, the sliding cover is guided to move and bend along a predetermined path when opened, and finally compactly fits against the outer side of the box, greatly improving the space utilization of the car storage box. 2. By setting a wireless charging module flush with the outer surface on the inner side wall of the box and keeping it exposed when the cover is opened for storage, the storage and charging functions are integrated without interference, making it convenient to use; 3. It enables reliable hovering of the cover plate at any position, supports dynamic access, and is easy to operate; 4. It has a safety locking function while driving to prevent accidental opening and ensure safety; 5. Provides clear status feedback, improving the human-computer interaction experience.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a push-pull type car storage box. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 8 The push-pull car storage box includes a box body 10, a push-pull cover 20, a hovering mechanism 30, and a locking mechanism 40. The box body 10 mainly includes guide rails 11 located on both sides of the opening of the box body 10, limiting plates 12 at the ends of the arc-shaped sections of the guide rails 11, and a wireless charging module 13 integrated into the inner wall of the box body 10. The orientation of each guide rail 11 is specially designed. Its main body first extends horizontally along the edge of the opening of the box body 10, and then has an arc-shaped section that bends downwards and outwards towards the box body 10. This bending trajectory matches the ideal storage path of the push-pull cover 20. The guide rail 11 is formed by a base plate and two side walls extending vertically from both sides of the base plate, creating a continuous guide channel with a concave cross-section. The limiting plates 12 at the ends of the guide rails 11 are fixed to the ends of the concave groove by welding or riveting, serving to mechanically block the guide block 24 and limit the maximum opening stroke of the push-pull cover 20.

[0032] The box body 10 may also be equipped with functional components such as a cup holder 14. Figure 1 The overall shape of the box 10, the closed state of the push-pull cover 20, the position of the push-pull rod 21, and the installation positions of the guide wheel 31 and the spiral groove 32 of the suspension mechanism 30 are clearly shown.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The push-pull cover 20 is formed by hinged multiple cover pieces 22 sequentially via snap fasteners 23. Each snap fastener 23 includes a protrusion 23b integrally formed on the side of one cover piece 22 and a groove 23a formed on the corresponding side of adjacent cover pieces 22. The protrusion 23b is rotatably engaged within the groove 23a, forming a pivot structure that allows adjacent cover pieces 22 to rotate relative to each other within a certain angle range without separating. A guide block 24 is fixedly provided at the bottom of each cover piece 22. The cross-sectional shape of the guide block 24 is adapted to the inner cavity of the concave groove of the guide rail 11, allowing it to be embedded and engaged within the guide channel.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking mechanism 40 is mounted on the guide rail 11 and mainly includes a locking block 41 and a locking torsion spring 42. Figure 3 The area A shown in the dashed box is the installation location of the locking mechanism 40. Figure 4This is a magnified view of a portion of the structure. When the push-pull cover 20 is fully closed, the locking torsion spring 42 pushes the locking block 41 out, and the locking tongue 41a engages between two adjacent guide blocks 24, achieving mechanical locking. To open, the user applies external force via the push-pull rod 21, and the guide blocks 24 press against the locking tongue 41a, causing the locking block 41 to retract, thus releasing the lock. When the push-pull cover 20 closes again, the guide blocks 24 move with the cover to the inclined surface of the locking block 41, squeezing the locking block 41 and causing it to retract. After the guide blocks 24 have completely passed the locking block 41, the locking torsion spring 42 pushes the locking block 41 to pop out again, returning it to the locked-ready state, thus achieving automatic locking each time it is closed.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The hovering mechanism 30 is disposed in the guide rail 11 and mainly includes a guide wheel 31, a spiral groove 32, a hovering torsion spring 33, and a friction-increasing block 34. Figure 5 The area B shown in the dashed box is the installation location of the hovering mechanism 30. Figure 6 This is a magnified view of a portion of the structure. The guide block 24 partially extends into the spiral groove 32, and the friction-enhancing block 34 also partially extends into the spiral groove 32 to increase friction. The suspension torsion spring 33 is sleeved on the shaft of the guide wheel 31, providing a rebound torque. During operation, the user pushes and pulls the cover plate 20, causing the guide block 24 to slide within the spiral groove 32. The static friction between the guide block 24 and the groove wall drives the guide wheel 31 to rotate against the force of the suspension torsion spring 33. When the push is removed, the rebound torque of the suspension torsion spring 33 attempts to reverse the direction of the guide wheel 31. However, the static friction between the guide block 24 and the groove wall of the spiral groove 32 is always greater than this rebound torque, thus achieving self-locking of the mechanism. The push and pull cover plate 20 can then be stably suspended in any position.

[0036] Reference Figure 7 The spiral groove 32 on the guide wheel 31 has a specially designed groove shape, including a first groove surface 32a for defining a fully closed position and a second groove surface 32b for defining a fully open position. When the guide block 24 slides to the end of the groove, a clear sense of positioning is generated, providing status feedback.

[0037] Reference Figure 8 The diagram illustrates the internal layout of the box body 10. The wireless charging module 13 is integrated into the inner wall of the box body 10, with its charging coil embedded inside the plastic trim panel of the inner wall. Its outer surface remains flush with the inner wall of the box body 10 to avoid interfering with the placement of items. Furthermore, when the sliding cover 20 is opened and retracted against the outer side of the box body 10, the wireless charging module 13 remains exposed for easy use. The cup holder 14 is located within the box body 10, embodying the design concept of functional integration.

[0038] The implementation principle of a push-pull car storage box according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the user operates the push-pull cover 20 by pushing and pulling the rod 21, the guide block 24 slides along the guide rail 11 and drives the guide wheel 31 to rotate. The suspension mechanism 30 achieves the suspension of the cover at any position through the balance of friction and torsion spring force. The locking mechanism 40 automatically locks when closed to prevent accidental opening. The entire mechanism achieves multiple effects of space optimization, functional integration and user-friendly operation through the coordinated cooperation of multiple components.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
