Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glove box hinge technology, and more specifically, to a rotary positioning glove box hinge. Background Technology

[0002] The glove box in a car is located in the passenger seat and is generally used to store miscellaneous items, serving as a storage box. There are three main types of glove box opening methods: top-opening lever type, side-opening handle type, and button type. Among them, the button type can be further subdivided into electronic touch type and mechanical press type. The glove box hinge is used to restrain the glove box, limit the range of rotation of the glove box, and thus control the opening and closing process of the glove box.

[0003] However, existing technologies have some problems: although existing glove boxes can be opened and closed smoothly by the hinges installed on them, the rotation angle is fixed after opening and cannot be adjusted. Therefore, for vehicles with limited space, the glove box can take up a lot of space after it is turned, affecting the leg comfort of the passenger. The inability to adjust the rotation angle of the glove box by the hinge makes the hinge less adaptable. Therefore, we propose a rotary positioning glove box hinge. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technical solution for a rotary positioning glove box hinge.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a rotary positioning glove box hinge is provided, including a fixed plate, a rotating plate hinged to the fixed plate, a through hole provided on the fixed plate, an arc-shaped plate fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating plate, the other end of the arc-shaped plate passing through the through hole, a baffle provided on the fixed plate, the baffle being connected to the fixed plate by an adjustment component, the baffle being able to change its height position by the adjustment component, thereby blocking the arc-shaped plate at different positions so that the rotating plate is maintained at the angle after rotation.

[0006] Optionally, the adjusting assembly includes a guide rod, which is fixedly mounted on a fixed plate. A baffle is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod. A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the fixed plate. The baffle is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod. A side groove is formed on the outer surface of the guide rod.

[0007] Optionally, the baffle has an inner groove, and a first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner groove. A steel ball is fixedly connected to the other end of the first spring, and the steel ball is movably engaged inside the side groove.

[0008] Optionally, a shim is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped plate, and the width of the shim is the same as the width of the arc-shaped plate.

[0020] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0021] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0022] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0023] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a rotating positioning glove box hinge includes a fixed plate 1, a rotating plate 2 hinged to the fixed plate 1, a through hole 3 on the fixed plate 1, an arc-shaped plate 4 fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating plate 2, the other end of the arc-shaped plate 4 passing through the through hole 3, a baffle 5 provided on the fixed plate 1, and the baffle 5 connected to the fixed plate 1 by an adjustment component. The baffle 5 can change its height position by adjusting the component, thereby blocking the arc-shaped plate 4 at different positions so that the rotating plate 2 is maintained at the angle after rotation.

[0025] The rotating plate 2 can be connected to the glove box, and the fixing plate 1 is fixed in the mounting slot of the car glove box. When the glove box is opened, it drives the rotating plate 2 to rotate, thereby enabling the arc plate 4 to rotate. When the arc plate 4 abuts against the baffle 5, the rotating plate 2 and the glove box are limited and cannot rotate. By adjusting the height position of the baffle 5 through the adjusting component, the glove box can be limited to different angles after opening, thereby meeting the installation needs of different cars and improving applicability.

[0026] The aforementioned rotary positioning glove box hinge includes an adjustment component comprising a guide rod 6, which is fixedly mounted on a fixed plate 1. A baffle 5 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 6. A threaded rod 7 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 1, and the baffle 5 is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod 7. A side groove 8 is provided on the outer surface of the guide rod 6.

[0027] By rotating the threaded rod 7, the baffle 5 can move up or down along the outer surface of the guide rod 6, thereby adjusting the height of the baffle 5 and controlling the angle between the rotating plate 2 and the glove box after rotation.

[0028] The aforementioned rotary positioning glove box hinge has an inner groove 9 inside the baffle 5. A first spring 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner groove 9. A steel ball 11 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first spring 10. The steel ball 11 is movably engaged inside the side groove 8.

[0029] By setting the first spring 10 to a compressed state, the steel ball 11 will tend to move into the side groove 8 due to the elastic force of the first spring 10. When adjusting the height of the baffle 5, the steel ball 11 will be stuck in the side groove 8 at different positions. This process will produce a gear feel and auditory feedback, so that the operator knows clearly that the glove box has reached the preset position.

[0030] In the aforementioned rotary positioning glove box hinge, a shim 12 is fixedly installed on the arc plate 4, and the width of the shim 12 is the same as the width of the arc plate 4.

[0031] The gasket 12 can be made of rubber, which can prevent the curved plate 4 from making rigid contact with the baffle 5 after rotation, reduce noise and improve the user experience.

[0032] In the aforementioned rotary positioning glove box hinge, the size of the through hole 3 is adapted to the size of the arc plate 4, and the inner wall of the through hole 3 is coated with a lubricating layer.

[0033] The aforementioned rotary positioning glove box hinge has a slot 13 on the arc plate 4, a bent rod 14 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slot 13, and a second spring 15 movably sleeved on the outer surface of the bent rod 14. The two ends of the second spring 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the fixed plate 1 and the rotating plate 2.

[0034] By setting the second spring 15 to its normal state, when the glove box drives the rotating plate 2 to rotate, it will compress the second spring 15 to store elastic potential energy, thereby enabling the glove box to open slowly and providing assistance in closing.

[0035] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0036] When the operator needs to adjust the angle of rotation of the glove box after it is opened, the threaded rod 7 can be rotated to make the baffle 5 move up or down along the outer surface of the guide rod 6, thereby adjusting the height of the baffle 5. When adjusting the height of the baffle 5, the steel ball 11 will be inserted into the side groove 8 at different positions. This process will produce a sense of gear position and audible feedback, so that the operator knows clearly that the glove box has reached the preset position and stops adjusting. In this way, the operator can control the angle between the rotating plate 2 and the glove box after rotation, thereby meeting the installation needs of different cars and improving applicability.

[0037] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
