Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a glove box latch, specifically a detachable glove box latch structure, and belongs to the field of glove box latch technology. Background Technology

[0002] The glove box is a closed storage space located in front of the passenger seat and below the dashboard in the interior of a car. It is usually opened or closed by rotating or pressing a switch. In the locking system of the glove box, the current mainstream design adopts an integrated structure of the latch and the inner pin. That is, the latch and the inner pin used to achieve the locking function are connected by injection molding or welding, and the two form an inseparable whole component.

[0003] However, most existing glove box latches have various problems. For example, in a glove box latch structure disclosed in announcement number CN221462095U, although the front panel allows the mechanism to smoothly push the locking block to cooperate with the mechanism to control the opening and closing of the glove box, in this technical solution and most current glove box latch structures, the glove box latch needs to frequently cooperate with the lock body to achieve opening and closing actions. Long-term stress or accidental impact can easily cause the latch to break and be damaged. Since the latch and the inner pin are integrated, when the latch breaks, it cannot be replaced separately. The entire glove box locking inner box, including the inner pin, must be removed and replaced. This repair method not only significantly increases the user's repair costs but also wastes resources of undamaged parts such as the inner pin. At the same time, replacing the entire assembly requires disassembling more interior structures, prolonging repair time, reducing the user experience, and hindering the efficiency of automotive after-sales repair. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing technologies are too simplistic. Specifically, the purpose of this utility model is to solve the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a detachable glove box locking tongue structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A detachable glove box latch structure includes a first latch, a second latch, and a locking assembly. The first latch is fixed to the glove box cover, the second latch is fixed to the glove box body, and the locking assembly is disposed between the first latch and the second latch, including a mounting cavity, a linkage seat, a docking rod, a latch, and a locking plate. The mounting cavity is located within the first latch. The linkage seat is slidably engaged within the mounting cavity. One end of the docking rod is fixed to the second latch, and the locking tongue is fixed to the other end of the docking rod. The end of the locking tongue away from the docking rod has an upright L-shaped structure and docks with the linkage seat. One end of the locking plate is fixed to the linkage seat, and the other end has an inverted L-shaped structure and slides against the inner wall of the mounting cavity. The end of the locking tongue away from the docking rod is engaged between the linkage seat and the locking plate.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the locking component also includes an abutment plate, which is fixed to the bottom of the linkage seat in an outward convex manner, and the locking plate abuts against the bottom of the abutment plate.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: an unlocking ramp is provided at the bottom of the end of the first latch near the second latch, and the unlocking ramp has an inclined structure.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the locking component also includes a sliding groove and a slider. The sliding groove is located on the top of the first latch and communicates with the mounting cavity. The slider is fixed on the top of the linkage seat and is slidably engaged in the sliding groove.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a first fixing buckle is fixed on each side of the first latch, and the two first fixing buckles are arranged symmetrically.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: a second fixing buckle is fixed on each side of the second lock, and the two second fixing buckles are arranged symmetrically.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: In this invention, the locking tongue is fixed to one end of the docking rod, breaking away from the traditional integrated design. When the locking tongue breaks, there is no need to replace the entire inner box; only the locking tongue needs to be disassembled from its connection with the linkage seat and the locking plate for individual replacement. This reduces user maintenance costs and the waste of undamaged parts. The end of the locking tongue furthest from the docking rod has an upright L-shaped structure that docks with the linkage seat, while the end of the locking plate has an inverted L-shaped structure that slides against the inner wall of the mounting cavity. The double L-shaped structure enhances the structural stability when locking. Furthermore, the inclined unlocking surface allows the locking plate to open when the locking tongue is unlocked, achieving the desired unlocking effect. The assembly and disassembly paths of the overall components are clear, facilitating after-sales maintenance and reducing maintenance time. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0015] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a detachable glove box latch structure includes a first latch 1, a second latch 2, and a locking assembly 3. The first latch 1 is fixed on the glove box cover, the second latch 2 is fixed on the glove box body, and the locking assembly 3 is disposed between the first latch 1 and the second latch 2, including a mounting cavity 31, a linkage seat 32, a docking rod 33, a latch 34, and a locking plate 35. The mounting cavity 31 is located inside the first latch 1. The linkage seat 32 is slidably engaged in the mounting cavity 31. One end of the docking rod 33 is fixed on the second latch 2. The locking tongue 34 is fixed on the other end of the docking rod 33. The end of the locking tongue 34 away from the docking rod 33 has an upright L-shaped structure and docks with the linkage seat 32. One end of the locking plate 35 is fixed on the linkage seat 32. The other end has an inverted L-shaped structure and slides against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 31. The end of the locking tongue 34 away from the docking rod 33 is engaged between the linkage seat 32 and the locking plate 35. The locking assembly 3 also includes an abutment plate 36, which is fixed to the bottom of the linkage seat 32 in an outward convex manner, and the locking plate 35 abuts against the bottom of the abutment plate 36; The bottom of the first latch 1 near the second latch 2 is provided with an unlocking ramp 37. The unlocking ramp 37 has a ramp structure. The locking component 3 also includes a slide groove 38 and a slider 39. The slide groove 38 is located on the top of the first latch 1 and communicates with the mounting cavity 31. The slider 39 is fixed on the top of the linkage seat 32 and is slidably engaged in the slide groove 38.

[0016] In this utility model, the locking tongue 34 is fixed to one end of the docking rod 33, breaking the traditional integrated design. When the locking tongue 34 breaks, there is no need to replace the entire inner box. Only the snap-fit ​​relationship between the locking tongue 34 and the linkage seat 32 and the locking plate 35 needs to be disassembled for individual replacement, reducing user maintenance costs and resource waste of undamaged parts. Moreover, the end of the locking tongue 34 away from the docking rod 33 has an upright L-shaped structure that docks with the linkage seat 32, and the end of the locking plate 35 has an inverted L-shaped structure that slides against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 31. The double L-shaped structure improves the structural stability when locking. Furthermore, the setting of the unlocking slope 37 allows the locking tongue 34 to be unlocked by guiding the locking plate 35 to open through the slope, thus achieving the unlocking effect of the locking tongue 34. The assembly and disassembly path of the overall components is clear, which facilitates after-sales maintenance and shortens maintenance time. Example 2

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in addition to all the technical features included in Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes: The first locking buckle 1 is fixed with a first fixing buckle 4 on each side, and the two first fixing buckles 4 are symmetrically arranged. The first fixing buckle 4 enables the first locking buckle 1 to be quickly engaged with and disengaged from the glove box lid.

[0018] The second locking buckle 2 is fixed with a second fixing buckle 5 on each side, and the two second fixing buckles 5 are symmetrically arranged. The second locking buckle 2 can be quickly engaged and disengaged from the glove box body through the second fixing buckle 5.

[0019] Working principle: When using the glove box latch, first fix the first latch 1 to the glove box lid with the first fixing buckle 4, and fix the second latch 2 to the glove box body with the second fixing buckle 5. Before the two are connected, one end of the locking plate 35 abuts against the unlocking ramp 37 and is in the "open" state. At this time, the latch 34 is inserted into the mounting cavity 31 and abuts against the abutting plate 36. Then push the first latch 1 as a whole, so that the linkage seat 32 slides synchronously in the mounting cavity 31. While sliding, the locking plate 35 slides from the unlocking ramp 37 to the bottom plane of the mounting cavity 31 and deforms, thus "engaging" with the latch 34, thereby locking the first latch 1 and the second latch 2.
