Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive interior component technology, and more particularly to an automotive interior component and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With technological advancements and rising living standards, automobiles are becoming increasingly prevalent as a basic mode of transportation. Simultaneously, people's demands for the driving and riding experience are constantly increasing, with the need for convenient storage of personal belongings being particularly prominent. In current technology, vehicle interior components typically include storage compartments for storing small or important items, equipped with closed doors to conceal the openings, thus hiding items from the driver and passengers' view and maintaining the visual uniformity of the vehicle's interior components. However, opening these closed doors often requires considerable space, affecting the convenience of use for drivers and passengers.

[0003] Currently, during the opening or closing process of storage compartments, the closing door usually rotates around a specific arc radius to close the storage compartment opening, which helps protect the items inside the storage compartment and maintains the uniformity of the appearance of the vehicle's interior components.

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned existing technologies, when the closed door rotates around a specific arc radius, it is necessary to keep the spherical space formed by the rotation of the arc radius inside the storage compartment free of obstacles. This makes the setting of the closed door occupy more space inside the storage compartment, and the rotation envelope has a greater impact on the space around the storage compartment, with large gaps that affect the aesthetics. This reduces the convenience for passengers to use the storage compartment and affects the aesthetics of the vehicle interior. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application addresses, to at least some extent, one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0006] Therefore, this application aims to provide an automotive interior component and vehicle, which is intended to limit the movement of the panel so that when the panel moves towards the bottom of the base, it moves towards the first end wall. Since the first sliding section is limited to a horizontal setting, the panel moves parallel to the opening into the storage compartment. Moreover, the first sliding section is located at the top of the storage compartment, so that the panel is located entirely at the top of the storage compartment. This minimizes the problems of internal space encroachment and surface difference in appearance matching gap, thereby improving the overall quality requirements.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides an automotive interior component, comprising: A base, on which a storage compartment is provided; the top of the storage compartment has an opening that connects to the outside. A panel movably connected to the base for moving between a closed position that closes the storage compartment and an open position that exposes the storage compartment; The panel has a first movable point and a second movable point at both ends in the horizontal direction; The base has a first end wall and a second end wall at its two ends in the horizontal direction; When the panel is in the closed position, the panel is located in the opening, the first movable point is close to the first end wall, and the second movable point is close to the second end wall; When the panel moves from the closed position to the open position, the first movable point moves towards the bottom of the base and then towards the top of the first end wall; the second movable point moves towards the top of the first end wall.

[0008] In the technical solution, when the panel is in the closed position, it is located in the opening to seal it. When the panel moves to the open position, the entire panel moves horizontally towards the first end wall and vertically towards the bottom of the base, thereby avoiding structural parts on the side of the opening near the first end wall, so that the panel can be smoothly stored in the storage compartment. The panel then moves horizontally towards the first end wall, so that when the panel is stored in the storage compartment, it is located at the top of the storage compartment, thereby reducing the space occupied by the panel in the storage compartment and improving the space utilization efficiency of the storage compartment.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, a first motion trajectory and a second motion trajectory are defined: a first active point of the panel moves along the first motion trajectory, and a second active point of the panel moves along the second motion trajectory; The first trajectory of motion includes: The first sinking section extends toward the bottom of the base; The first sliding section has one end connected to the bottom end of the first sinking section, and the other end extends toward the top of the first end wall. The second motion trajectory extends in the direction of the first sliding segment.

[0010] In the technical solution, by defining the movement trajectory characteristics of the first and second active points, the movement trajectories of the panel near the first end wall and the panel near the second end wall are represented. By directly defining the movement trajectory surface of the panel's action mode, when the opening is opened, the panel near the first end wall first moves towards the bottom of the base via the first sinking section, realizing the panel's movement and insertion into the storage compartment; then it moves towards the top of the first end wall via the first sliding section, so that the panel is located at the top of the storage compartment after being inserted into the storage compartment, thereby reducing the space occupied by the panel in the storage compartment and improving the space utilization efficiency of the storage compartment.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the top end of the first sunken section is located horizontally on the side of the bottom end of the first sunken section near the second end wall; the opening near the first end wall is provided with a downwardly extending flange.

[0012] In the technical solution, on the one hand, by limiting the relative positions of the top and bottom of the first sinking section, the first movable point moves towards the first end wall while moving downwards, thereby achieving the avoidance of the space below the opening on the side of the panel close to the first end wall, so that passengers can place items in the storage compartment and open the opening to allow passengers to retrieve items; on the other hand, by limiting the flange to be parallel to the first sinking section, interference between the flange and the movement trajectory of the panel is avoided, further ensuring that the panel can be smoothly stored in the storage compartment along the first and second movement trajectories.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the first sliding segment is horizontally positioned.

[0014] In the technical solution, by limiting the tilt angle of the first sliding section, it is indicated that the side of the panel near the first end wall is always located at the top of the storage compartment when it moves in the storage compartment, thereby reducing the impact of the panel on the space placed in the storage compartment when it moves in the storage compartment, and thus improving the utilization efficiency of the internal space of the storage compartment.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the second motion trajectory includes: The second sliding section extends horizontally from one end of the opening near the second end wall to the other end of the opening; The second sinking section extends toward the bottom of the base; the top of the second sinking section is connected to the end of the second sliding section near the first end wall.

[0016] In the technical solution, by defining the motion trajectory characteristics of the second active point, together with the first motion trajectory, the action mode of the panel moving into the storage compartment is displayed. When the opening is opened, the panel near the second end wall first moves horizontally towards the first end wall through the second sliding section, so that the overall position height of the panel in the storage compartment remains unchanged when the panel moves into the storage compartment, thereby achieving the panel avoiding the internal space of the storage compartment when moving. Then, through the second sinking section, the panel is completely moved into the storage compartment, and the opening is fully opened, achieving the avoidance of the space below the opening.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the first sinking section and the second sinking section overlap.

[0018] In the technical solution, by setting the first sinking section and the second sinking section to overlap, the first movement trajectory and the second movement trajectory partially overlap, thereby achieving the connection between the first movement trajectory and the second movement trajectory, and thus saving the internal space of the storage compartment.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the panel is provided with a first sliding pin and a second sliding pin, the first sliding pin and the second sliding pin are respectively disposed at the first movable point and the second movable point, and the inner wall of the storage compartment is provided with a sliding groove, in which the first sliding pin and the second sliding pin are slidably disposed.

[0020] In the technical solution, it can be deduced from the movement trajectory of the first sliding pin and the second sliding pin that the distribution of the slide groove on the inner wall of the storage compartment is consistent with the first movement trajectory and the second movement trajectory. That is, the slide groove, the first sliding pin and the second sliding pin are the specific manifestations of the movement mode of the panel in the storage compartment, realizing the transformation from point and line relationship to spatial three-dimensional structure.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, a driving device is provided inside the base, and the driving device includes: Drive motor; A rewinder connected to the drive motor; the drive motor drives the rewinder to rotate; A first pull rope, one end of which is connected to the retractor so that the retractor can wind up or release the first pull rope, and the other end of the first pull rope is connected to the first sliding pin. The second pull rope has one end connected to the retractor so that the retractor can wind up or release the second pull rope, and the other end of the second pull rope is connected to the second sliding pin. The first guide wheel is located on the side of the first movable point near the first end wall, and the first pull rope extends from the coiler through the first guide wheel to the first sliding pin. The second guide wheel is located on the side of the second moving point near the second end wall, and the second pull rope extends from the coiler through the second guide wheel to the second sliding pin.

[0022] In the technical solution, a drive motor drives the retractor to rotate forward and backward, thereby moving the first pull rope and the second pull rope. By setting the first guide wheel and the second guide wheel, the direction of the tension of the first pull rope and the second pull rope is determined, so that the first pull rope applies a tension force to the first sliding pin in the direction of the first end wall, and the second pull rope applies a tension force to the second sliding pin in the direction of the second end wall, so as to pull the two ends of the panel, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the panel and opening and closing the opening.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, in the open position, the positions of the first active point and the second active point are both located on the side of the opening closest to the first end wall in the horizontal direction.

[0024] In the technical solution, the positions of the first and second connection points when the opening is opened are determined so that after the panel moves to its final position, the panel is completely removed from the space directly opposite the opening, so that passengers can retrieve items from the storage compartment to the maximum extent.

[0025] Secondly, this application provides a vehicle, including: Body; The aforementioned automotive interior components are installed inside the vehicle body.

[0026] In the technical solution, by setting up interior trim pieces at this location, it not only makes it easier for the driver and front passenger to access items, but also increases the convenience for rear passengers to access their items, while ensuring the uniformity of the vehicle's interior appearance.

[0027] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, additional aspects and advantages of this application will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this application.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0031] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments. It should be noted that in the automotive industry, as users' demands for user experience increase, when purchasing a car, users not only consider the vehicle's driving performance, but also its storage performance during use.

[0032] In existing technologies, to improve the convenience of storing small items for passengers, vehicle interiors are typically designed with storage compartments in areas easily accessible to drivers and passengers, such as the dashboard, center console, and door panels. The rear half of the center console, due to its relatively ample space and ease of use for rear passengers, often features a relatively large storage compartment. To maintain the overall neatness and uniformity of the vehicle's interior components, the opening of these compartments usually has a movable, closed door to effectively conceal various small items, thereby achieving a visual obstruction effect for drivers and passengers and maintaining the visual harmony of the vehicle's interior components.

[0033] Currently, storage compartments typically have a rotating shaft inside, which is used to open or close the compartment. However, when the door rotates around a specific radius, the spherical space needs to remain open to prevent collisions with the internal structure or items. This results in the door occupying a significant amount of internal space, affecting the convenience of using the storage compartment for passengers.

[0034] Based on this, this application proposes an automotive interior component and vehicle. By defining the motion trajectory at both ends of the panel and the relative end walls of the base, the overall motion state of the panel on the base is displayed, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the storage compartment opening. By setting a sliding groove on the side wall of the base according to the motion trajectory at both ends of the panel, when the storage compartment opening is opened, the panel moves towards the center console while simultaneously moving towards the bottom of the base, thereby avoiding the structure on the side of the base near the opening, allowing the panel to smoothly enter the storage compartment, and then moving the panel horizontally, thereby reducing the space occupied by the panel movement inside the storage compartment, and thus increasing the space utilization efficiency inside the storage compartment.

[0035] In the following, embodiments of this application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] As attached Figures 1 to 3As shown in an illustrative embodiment of the automotive interior trim and vehicle of this application, the automotive interior trim includes a base 100, on which a storage compartment 200 is provided. The top of the storage compartment 200 has an opening 300 communicating with the outside. When storing items, the driver or passenger puts the items into the storage compartment 200 through the opening 300; when retrieving items, they reach into the opening 300 to retrieve the desired items from the storage compartment 200.

[0037] In some embodiments, the automotive interior trim includes a panel 400 movably connected to the base 100. The panel 400 is movable between a closed position of the enclosed storage compartment 200 and an open position of the exposed storage compartment 200, thereby closing or opening the opening 300. When the panel 400 is in the closed position, on the one hand, the panel 400 can protect the items inside the storage compartment 200, preventing items from being moved out of the storage compartment 200 through the opening 300 and damaged due to bumps when the vehicle is traveling on special road conditions; on the other hand, the panel 400 can block the view of the occupants, maintaining the uniformity and neatness of the vehicle interior trim.

[0038] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The panel 400 has a first movable point 401 and a second movable point 402 at both ends in the horizontal direction. The setting of the first movable point 401 and the second movable point 402 serves as a reference base point for the panel 400 to determine the movement trajectory of the panel 400.

[0039] In some embodiments, the base 100 is provided with a first end wall and a second end wall 101 at both ends in the horizontal direction. The setting of the first end wall and the second end wall 101 serves as a reference base point on both sides of the base 100. In conjunction with the first movable point 401 and the second movable point 402 set on the panel 400, the relative movement direction of the panel 400 on the base 100 is determined, so as to determine the trajectory of the movement of the panel 400 on the base 100.

[0040] In some embodiments, when the panel 400 is in the closed position, the first movable point 401 is located near the first end wall and the second movable point 402 is located near the second end wall 101, at which time the panel 400 completely closes the opening 300.

[0041] In some embodiments, when the panel 400 moves from the closed position to the open position, the first movable point 401 first moves towards the bottom of the base 100, at which time the second movable point 402 moves towards the first end wall; then the first movable point 401 moves towards the top of the first end wall, at which time the second movable point 402 continues to move towards the first end wall.

[0042] In the above technical solution, by determining the first active point 401, the second active point 402, the first end wall and the second end wall 101 as reference base points, the direction of movement of the panel 400 relative to the base 100 and the action state of the panel 400 when moving relative to both sides of the base 100 are determined, thereby determining the movement trajectory of the panel 400 through the action state of the panel 400. When the panel 400 is in the closed position, it is located in the opening 300 to close the opening 300. When the panel 400 is moved to the open position, the panel 400 moves horizontally towards the first end wall and vertically towards the bottom of the base 100, thereby avoiding structural parts on the side of the opening 300 near the first end wall, so that the panel 400 can be smoothly put into the storage compartment 200. The panel 400 then moves horizontally towards the first end wall, so that when the panel 400 is put into the storage compartment 200, it is located at the top of the storage compartment 200, thereby reducing the space occupied by the panel 400 in the storage compartment 200 and improving the space utilization efficiency of the storage compartment 200.

[0043] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 A first motion trajectory 500 and a second motion trajectory 600 are defined. The first active point 401 of the panel 400 moves along the first motion trajectory 500, and the second active point 402 of the panel 400 moves along the second motion trajectory 600. The establishment of the first motion trajectory 500 and the second motion trajectory 600 reflects the overall motion state of the panel 400.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first motion trajectory 500 includes a first sinking section 501 that extends toward the bottom of the base 100. The first moving point 401 moves along the extending direction of the first sinking section 501, that is, the panel 400 moves toward the bottom of the base 100 from the side near the first end wall, thereby causing one side of the panel 400 to enter the interior of the storage compartment 200.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first motion trajectory 500 includes a first sliding segment 502, one end of which is connected to the bottom end of the first sinking segment 501, and the other end of which extends toward the top of the first end wall. The first moving point 401 moves along the extension direction of the first sliding segment 502, that is, after the panel 400 near the first end wall is moved into the storage compartment 200, it continues to move toward the top of the first end wall. At this time, the panel 400 near the first end wall is located near the top of the base 100, so as to reduce the internal space of the storage compartment 200 occupied by the panel 400 when it is put into the storage compartment 200, thereby increasing the space utilization rate of the storage compartment 200.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second motion trajectory 600 extends towards the first sliding segment 502. The second movable point 402 moves along the second motion trajectory 600, that is, when the first movable point 401 moves, the side of the panel 400 near the second end wall 101 moves towards the top of the first end wall. In conjunction with the first motion trajectory 500, the panel 400 is positioned close to the top of the base 100 when it is stored in the storage compartment 200. This reduces the impact of the panel 400 occupying space inside the storage compartment 200 on passengers' ability to retrieve and place items, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the storage compartment 200.

[0047] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 To further facilitate passengers' access to their belongings, in the open position, the positions of the first movable point 401 and the second movable point 402 are both located horizontally on the side of the opening 300 closest to the first end wall. By limiting the positions of the first movable point 401 and the second movable point 402 when the opening 300 is open, the panel 400 is completely removed from the space directly opposite the opening 300 after moving to its final position. This allows passengers to retrieve items from the storage compartment 200 to the maximum extent possible, ensuring convenient operation for passengers.

[0048] In some embodiments, a downwardly extending flange 102 is provided at one end of the opening 300 near the first end wall. By providing the flange 102, the structural stability of the base 100 at the opening 300 is increased.

[0049] In some embodiments, to avoid the flange 102 so that the panel 400 can be smoothly moved into the storage compartment 200, the top end of the first recessed section 501 is located horizontally on the side of the first recessed section 501 near the second end wall 101. By defining the relative positions of the top and bottom ends of the first recessed section 501, the first movable point 401 moves downwards while moving towards the first end wall, thereby avoiding the flange 102 on the side of the panel 400 near the first end wall, so that the panel 400 can move and open the opening 300 to allow passengers to retrieve or place items.

[0050] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 To further improve the opening efficiency of the opening 300, the flange 102 is parallel to the first recessed section 501. By limiting the relative positional relationship between the flange 102 and the first recessed section 501, the relative distance between the panel 400 and the flange 102 on the side of the panel 400 closest to the first end wall is minimized when the panel 400 is moved into the storage compartment 200, thereby shortening the movement trajectory of the panel 400 and improving the opening and closing speed of the opening 300.

[0051] In some embodiments, to improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the storage compartment 200, the first sliding section 502 is horizontally arranged. Since the first sliding section 502 is the path for the panel 400 to enter the storage compartment 200, by limiting the tilt angle of the first sliding section 502, it is indicated that the side of the panel 400 near the first end wall is always located at the top of the storage compartment 200 when it moves inside the storage compartment 200. Its lowest height in the storage compartment 200 is the position of the bottom end of the first sinking section 501 on the inner wall of the storage compartment 200. This achieves the limitation of the overall position of the panel 400 in the internal space of the storage compartment 200, reduces the impact of the panel 400 on the space placed in the storage compartment 200 when it moves in the storage compartment 200, and thus improves the utilization efficiency of the internal space of the storage compartment 200.

[0052] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the storage compartment 200, when the panel 400 is moved into the storage compartment 200 as a whole, the relative distance between the side of the panel 400 away from the bottom of the base 100 and the side of the flange 102 close to the bottom of the base 100 is shortened as much as possible, so that the position of the panel 400 in the storage compartment 200 has as little impact on the items in the storage compartment 200 as possible, so as to facilitate passengers to place items in the storage compartment 200.

[0053] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second motion trajectory 600 includes a second sliding segment 601, which extends horizontally from one end of the opening 300 near the second end wall 101 to the other end of the opening 300. During the opening of the opening 300, the movement of the second movable point 402 in the second sliding segment 601 corresponds to the movement of the first movable point 401 in the first sliding segment 502, both of which involve the panel 400 moving as a whole towards the first end wall to complete the action of moving the panel 400 into the storage compartment 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second motion trajectory 600 includes a second recessed section 602, the top of which is connected to the end of the second sliding section 601 near the first end wall. The movement trajectory of the second movable point 402 in the second recessed section 602 is the movement state of the panel 400 near the second end wall 101. When the opening 300 is fully opened, as the panel 400 near the second end wall 101 moves toward the bottom of the base 100, the panel 400 near the first end wall moves in the first sliding section 502.

[0055] In the above technical solution, by defining the motion trajectory characteristics of the second active point 402, and in conjunction with the first motion trajectory 500, the movement mode of the panel 400 moving into the storage compartment 200 is demonstrated. When the opening 300 is opened, the panel 400, near the second end wall 101, first moves horizontally towards the first end wall via the second sliding section 601, so that when the panel 400 moves into the storage compartment 200, the overall height of the panel 400 in the storage compartment 200 remains unchanged, thereby achieving the panel 400 avoiding the internal space of the storage compartment 200 during movement. Then, via the second sinking section 602, the panel 400 is completely moved into the storage compartment 200, and the opening 300 is fully opened, achieving the avoidance of the space below the opening 300.

[0056] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 To improve production efficiency and simplify the representation of the first motion trajectory 500 and the second motion trajectory 600 on the inner wall of the storage compartment 200, the first sinking section 501 and the second sinking section 602 overlap. Since the top of the second sinking section 602 is connected to the end of the second sliding section 601 near the first end wall, the first motion trajectory 500 and the second motion trajectory 600 partially overlap, thus achieving connectivity between the first motion trajectory 500 and the second motion trajectory 600. This saves internal space in the storage compartment 200, facilitating production while improving the space utilization rate of the storage compartment 200.

[0057] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A first sliding pin 403 is provided on the side of the panel 400 near the bottom of the base 100. The first sliding pin 403 is located at the first connection point, that is, the movement trajectory of the first sliding pin 403 on the inner wall of the storage compartment 200 is the first movement trajectory 500.

[0058] In some embodiments, a second sliding pin 404 is provided on the side of the panel 400 near the bottom of the base 100. The second sliding pin 404 is located at the second connection point, that is, the movement trajectory of the second sliding pin 404 on the inner wall of the storage compartment 200 is the second movement trajectory 600.

[0059] In some embodiments, a groove 700 is provided on the inner wall of the storage compartment 200, and the first sliding pin 403 and the second sliding pin 404 are both slidably disposed in the groove 700. In the above technical solution, it can be inferred from the movement trajectory of the first sliding pin 403 and the second sliding pin 404 that the distribution of the groove 700 on the inner wall of the storage compartment 200 is consistent with the first movement trajectory 500 and the second movement trajectory 600. That is, the groove 700, the first sliding pin 403 and the second sliding pin 404 are the first moving point 401 and the second moving point 402 of the panel 400, and the specific manifestation of the movement form in the storage compartment 200, realizing the corresponding transformation from point and line mapping to three-dimensional space.

[0060] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to enable the automatic movement of the panel 400, a drive device 800 is provided inside the base 100. The drive device 800 is used to drive the panel 400 to move, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the opening 300. The drive device 800 includes a drive motor 801, which serves as a power source to provide initial power for the movement of the panel 400.

[0061] In some embodiments, the drive device 800 includes a retractor 802, which is connected to the output shaft of a drive motor 801, and the drive motor 801 is used to drive the retractor 802 to rotate.

[0062] In some embodiments, the drive device 800 includes a first pull cord 803. One end of the first pull cord 803 is connected to a retractor 802 to allow the retractor 802 to wind up or unwind the first pull cord 803. The other end of the first pull cord 803 is connected to a first sliding pin 403. That is, the first pull cord 803 is used to drive the first sliding pin 403 to move. Assuming that the retractor 802 rotates in the forward direction at this time, the first pull cord 803 provides power for the panel 400 to move closer to the first end wall.

[0063] In some embodiments, the drive device 800 includes a second pull rope 804. One end of the second pull rope 804 is connected to the retractor 802 so that the retractor 802 can retract or release the second pull rope 804. The other end of the second pull rope 804 is connected to the second sliding pin 404, that is, the second pull rope 804 is used to drive the second sliding pin 404 to move. Assuming that the rotation direction of the retractor 802 is in the opposite direction at this time, the second pull rope 804 provides power for the panel 400 to move closer to the second end wall 101.

[0064] In some embodiments, the drive device 800 includes a first guide wheel 805, which is located on the side of the first active point 401 near the first end wall. A first pull rope 803 extends from the coiler 802 through the first guide wheel 805 to the first sliding pin 403. Since the rope, as a flexible body, can only withstand tension, its geometry is entirely determined by external forces, resulting in directional instability. Therefore, the direction of the tension force of the first pull rope 803 on the first sliding pin 403 is uncertain. By setting the first guide and limiting the position of the first guide wheel 805, the tension force of the first pull rope 803 on the first sliding pin 403 is directed towards the first end wall in the horizontal direction and towards the bottom of the base 100 in the vertical direction. This is generally consistent with the direction of the movement trajectory of the first sliding pin 403 when the opening 300 is opened, thereby ensuring the tension force for the movement of the panel 400 when the opening 300 is opened.

[0065] In some embodiments, the drive device 800 includes a second guide wheel 806, which is located on the side of the second movable point 402 near the second end wall 101. A second pull rope 804 extends from the retractor 802 through the second guide wheel 806 to the second sliding pin 404. By setting the second guide wheel 806 and defining its position, the pulling force of the second guide wheel 806 on the second sliding pin 404 is directed horizontally toward the second end wall 101, which is generally consistent with the movement trajectory direction of the second sliding pin 404 when the panel 400 is closed. This ensures the pulling force guarantees the movement of the panel 400 when the opening 300 is closed.

[0066] In the above technical solution, refer to Figures 1 to 3 When the opening 300 is opened, the drive motor 801 drives the retractor 802 to rotate in the forward direction. The retractor 802 winds up the first pull rope 803, thereby driving the first sliding pin 403 to move along the first motion trajectory 500. This causes the panel 400 to move along the first sinking section 501 into the storage compartment 200, and then along the first sliding section 502 towards the first end wall. Finally, when the panel 400 is close to the second end wall 101 and the flange 102 is close to the base 100, the opening 300 is opened, minimizing the use of space inside the storage compartment 200 and facilitating the storage and retrieval of items by passengers.

[0067] When the opening 300 is closed, the drive motor 801 drives the retractor 802 to rotate in the opposite direction. The retractor 802 winds up the second pull rope 804, thereby driving the second sliding pin 404 to move along the second motion trajectory 600. This causes the panel 400, which is close to the second end wall 101, to move along the second sinking section 602 towards the opening 300 and the second end wall 101. The entire panel 400 is moved out of the storage compartment 200 and then moves along the second sliding section 601 towards the second end wall 101. When the panel 400 moves to the initial position, the opening 300 is closed.

[0068] In some embodiments, to further optimize the traction effect of the first pull rope 803 and the second pull rope 804 on both ends of the panel 400, the storage compartment 200 sidewall is provided with a plurality of transition wheels 807, which are located on the side close to the first end wall and the second end wall 101, respectively. Taking the traction of the first pull rope 803 on the first sliding pin 403 as an example, due to the inherent flexibility of the rope, if the first pull rope 803 extends directly from the retractor 802 to the first guide wheel 805, the first pull rope 803 will form a large bend at the first guide wheel 805, causing local load concentration in the contact area. This can easily exacerbate the risk of wear and failure of the first pull rope 803, thus increasing the probability of wear. Furthermore, the bend creates excessive radial constraint force, which can easily cause the first pull rope 803 to jam during movement. At the same time, due to the large relative distance between the first guide wheel 805 and the retractor 802, the first pull rope 803 may swing in the middle position, affecting the stability of the first pull rope 803 in traction of the first sliding pin 403, and thus causing the panel 400 to jam during movement. In summary, by setting multiple transition wheels 807 to ensure the normal use of the first pull rope 803 and the second pull rope 804, the smooth movement of the panel 400 can be guaranteed.

[0069] In some embodiments, to further improve the effect of the transition wheel 807, taking the transition wheel 807 near the first end wall as an example, multiple transition wheels 807 are distributed in an arc shape, thereby further optimizing the tension transmission channel of the first pull rope 803 to the first sliding pin 403 and eliminating swaying.

Simultaneously, the panel 400 ensures a unified aesthetic appearance within the vehicle's interior.
