Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interiors, specifically to an embedded storage component and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of outdoor recreation and fishing activities, more and more car owners want to be able to carry and properly store long equipment such as fishing rods when traveling. Current vehicle fishing rod storage methods mainly include: using the trunk's layered partitions or side recesses for secure storage; folding down the rear seats and laying the fishing rods flat on the seats; installing a dedicated fishing rod rack on the roof to expand external storage capacity; and some models utilizing hidden space under the seats to store short fishing rod accessories or attachments.

[0003] While the above solutions can meet the need for carrying fishing rods in the car to some extent, they still have shortcomings: First, they take up additional space in the trunk or inside the car, affecting luggage loading space; second, fishing rods are thin and long and require specific support, and it is cumbersome and time-consuming to repeatedly adjust their position, remove fasteners or fold down the seats when taking them out or putting them in, and they are prone to bumps and damage; third, some external installation methods are not stable and safe in high-speed or bad weather conditions.

[0004] Therefore, it is worthwhile to further explore existing methods for storing fishing rods. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes an embedded storage component that can accommodate fishing rods and other rods, improving space utilization efficiency while ensuring ease of access and protection for the rods.

[0006] This invention also aims to provide a vehicle having the aforementioned embedded storage components.

[0007] An embedded storage component according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a modular interior panel, wherein a storage cavity is formed within the modular interior panel, the modular interior panel being adapted to be disposed within a cavity of a vehicle pillar to replace a pillar interior panel, the storage cavity having an opening on the side facing a window, door, or passenger space; a rod storage portion, the rod storage portion being located within the storage cavity, the rod storage portion being used to hold or fix a rod; and a cover plate, the cover plate being openable and closable at the opening.

[0008] According to the embedded storage component of this utility model embodiment, a modular interior panel replaces the original pillar interior panel and is installed inside the body pillar cavity. This modular interior panel has a storage cavity for placing the rod. The opening of the storage cavity of this modular interior panel can flexibly face different directions—such as towards the window, door, or passenger space—to adapt to different vehicle structures and user habits. For example, users who prefer small, portable rods can choose a storage cavity with a shorter vertical length; the opening of this type of storage cavity can be located on the body pillar facing the window. Users who prefer standard long-section rods can choose a storage cavity with a longer vertical length; the opening of this type of storage cavity needs to be located on the side of the body pillar facing the door or the interior (i.e., the side facing the passenger space).

[0009] When in use, simply place the rod into the rod storage compartment and close the cover to complete the storage; when in use, simply open the cover to take it out directly. The operation process is simple and smooth, which not only meets the needs of storing fishing rods, but also significantly improves the convenience of use.

[0010] Taking fishing rods as an example, compared to the traditional method of placing fishing rods in the side recess or compartment of the trunk, roof rack, or rear seat, the proposed solution integrates the rod into the interior panel of the vehicle pillar. This not only provides car owners with a more convenient and time-saving experience in retrieving and placing the rod, but also covers the needs of different users for fishing rod specifications through a multi-size design. At the same time, the space that was originally scattered is transformed into the "invisible utilization" of the pillar cavity, effectively reducing the encroachment of the fishing rod on the effective space inside the car, and indirectly expanding the storage space for other items of the car owner. This achieves a triple optimization of space utilization, user experience, and compatibility.

[0011] In some embodiments, the embedded storage component further includes a buffer layer disposed on the inner side of the modular interior panel.

[0012] In some embodiments, the buffer layers located on adjacent sides of the receiving cavity are connected by a chamfer.

[0013] In some embodiments, the modular interior panel has ventilation holes on at least one side.

[0014] In some embodiments, the embedded storage component further includes a dustproof mesh covering the ventilation holes.

[0015] In some embodiments, the embedded storage assembly further includes a pull-out shelf mounted on the modular interior panel, a portion of which extends out of the storage cavity through the opening; The rod storage part is provided on the pull-out bracket, and the rod storage part is located outside the opening when the pull-out bracket is pulled out; The cover plate is fixedly connected to the pull-out bracket so that it covers the opening when the pull-out bracket is retracted.

[0016] In some embodiments, the embedded storage assembly further includes: a snap-fit ​​structure connecting the pull-out rack and the modular interior panel; or, the cover plate is provided with a handle.

[0017] In some embodiments, the rod storage portion includes: At least two first retaining rings are arranged at vertical intervals. Each first retaining ring has a locking slot. The first retaining ring is adapted to clamp the rod body, and the rod body is adapted to be inserted into or pulled out from the locking slot.

[0018] In some embodiments, the embedded storage component further includes at least one storage box disposed inside the modular interior panel or the cover plate.

[0019] The vehicle according to the present utility model includes the embedded storage component described in any of the above embodiments, the embedded storage component is fixedly connected to the vehicle body pillar, and the modular interior panel is at least partially housed within the vehicle body pillar.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] The embedded storage component 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] It should be noted that the embedded storage component 10 of this application is adaptable to various types of rods 30 and is not limited to fishing rods. Besides fishing rods, the embedded storage component 10 is also suitable for storing golf clubs, ski poles, hiking poles, flagpoles, antenna poles, and even small, elongated items. For consistency, the following description will use the storage of a fishing rod 30 as an example.

[0028] According to the embedded storage component 10 of this utility model embodiment, refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 3 It includes: modular interior panel 1, rod storage part 2, and cover plate 3.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a storage cavity a is formed inside the modular interior panel 1. The modular interior panel 1 is suitable for being installed inside the cavity of the body pillar 40 to replace the pillar interior panel.

[0030] The modular interior panel 1 is installed inside the cavity of the vehicle body pillar 40 to replace the original pillar interior panel, thereby achieving hidden storage of the fishing rod without taking up additional vehicle space.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the storage cavity a has an opening 11 on the side facing the window 50, door 60, or passenger space. The rod storage part 2 is located inside the storage cavity a and is used to hold or fix the rod 30. The cover plate 3 is openable and closable at the opening 11.

[0032] The storage cavity a and the vehicle body pillar 40 form an independent storage space. The shape and position of the opening 11 of the storage cavity a can be set according to the structure of the vehicle body pillar 40 and the user's loading and unloading habits to ensure that the fishing rod body 30 can be easily put into or taken out from inside or to the side of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the storage cavity a is longitudinally oriented, and its length matches the longitudinal height of the vehicle body pillar 40, which can accommodate fishing rod bodies 30 in the folded state of fishing rods ranging from 1.8 meters to 2.4 meters. The depth of the storage cavity a is greater than the outer diameter of the rod body 30, and the width of the storage cavity a is greater than or equal to 4 centimeters.

[0033] In some designs, the opening 11 can be rectangular to facilitate alignment between the right-angled cavity structure of the body pillar 40 and the shape of the modular interior panel 1, thus simplifying manufacturing and installation. In another design, the opening 11 can be elongated ellipse, providing more lateral space along its diagonal direction to accommodate thicker rods or fishing rods 30 with guards. The elongated ellipse shape of the opening 11 allows for a smooth transition with the edge of the body pillar 40, reducing interference with the installation of the modular interior panel 1 and creating a softer visual effect, enhancing harmony with the interior style.

[0034] Specifically, the rod storage part 2 is entirely located inside the storage cavity a, and maintains an appropriate gap with the inner wall of the storage cavity a to avoid interference during the placement and removal of the rod 30. The rod storage part 2 can be equipped with a storage structure to hold the rod 30. This storage structure can be a segmented slot, an adjustable elastic strap, or a flexible limiting groove, etc. The storage structure can effectively limit the swaying of the rod 30 when the vehicle is bumpy, thereby achieving the effect of reliably holding or fixing the rod 30 in the rod storage part 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the cover plate 3 is closable at the opening 11, and its shape corresponds to the shape of the opening 11, completely covering the opening 11. This forms a closed barrier to the storage cavity a when closed, effectively preventing dust and debris from entering the storage cavity a during vehicle operation, avoiding contamination of the rod 30, and keeping the surface of the rod 30 clean and intact. Simultaneously, the full-coverage design of the cover plate 3 also prevents the rod 30 from shifting due to external vibration or impact during storage, ensuring stable storage. Preferably, the outer surface of the cover plate 3 is flush with the surface of the vehicle pillar 40 when closed, appearing completely flat without obvious protrusions or depressions. Furthermore, the texture and color of the outer surface of the cover plate 3 are consistent with the interior trim panel of the pillar, ensuring a coherent and unified finish throughout the entire vehicle pillar 40 area. This guarantees both the flatness and aesthetics of the vehicle interior and maintains the overall harmony of the original design.

[0036] The cover plate 3 serves as the opening and closing component of the opening 11, and its specific structure can be selected according to the vehicle's interior style, ease of use, and sealing protection requirements.

[0037] In some designs, the cover 3 is a rotating cover, which is connected to the modular interior panel 1 by a hinge or pivot and can be opened outward along a single axis. The advantages of this structure are that the opening angle is controllable, the positioning is stable, and the mechanical structure is simple and reliable. It is suitable for use in scenarios where the opening 11 is located near the door 60 or window 50 and the user often opens it by hand. When the rotating cover is closed, it can be securely fastened by a buckle or a limiting boss, which effectively prevents the cover 3 from being opened accidentally due to driving bumps.

[0038] In other designs, the cover 3 is a magnetic cover, where permanent magnets or electromagnets are embedded at corresponding positions on the cover 3 and the modular interior panel 1, attracting each other. To open, only a certain external force is needed to overcome the magnetic force; to close, it automatically retracts and remains flush with the pillar trim surface. The advantages of this structure are its ease of operation, absence of visible hinges or pivots, cleaner and more integrated appearance, and quiet closure, making it suitable for use in passenger spaces and other areas where quietness is important. Furthermore, the magnetic cover can be used with a flexible sealing strip to improve dust and moisture protection when the opening 11 is closed, better protecting the fishing rods and other rods 30 stored in the storage cavity a from external environmental influences.

[0039] In addition to the common forms mentioned above, the cover plate 3 can also be designed as a sliding cover (pushed and pulled horizontally or vertically along the guide rail), a flip cover and magnetic hybrid structure (which retains the rotating shaft and is supplemented by magnetic positioning) according to actual needs, so as to take into account the spatial layout of different vehicle models, user operating habits and decorative styles.

[0040] The embedded storage component 10 of this application is completely separated from the trunk and seat area, avoiding the problems of "taking up luggage space and affecting passenger capacity when folding down the seats" in traditional storage. It is especially suitable for family cars that also serve fishing needs. During daily commutes, the appearance of the vehicle pillar 40 is no different from that of an ordinary vehicle. When fishing, users can quickly retrieve their rods without adjusting the interior layout. Moreover, the traditional method of storing rods requires retrieving them from the trunk: one must park, walk around to the rear of the car, and search for equipment. However, the embedded storage component of this application can be retrieved and stored instantly when the door 60 is opened. It is especially suitable for the scenario of "moving between multiple fishing spots" - one can retrieve the rods immediately after parking and opening the door 60, avoiding the loss of equipment or delaying the fishing opportunity.

[0041] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 The embedded storage component 10 also includes a buffer layer 4 disposed inside the modular interior panel 1.

[0042] The buffer layer 4 is usually attached or embedded on the side of the modular interior panel 1 facing the storage cavity a, for example, it can be attached to the inner wall of the storage cavity a with high-temperature resistant double-sided adhesive.

[0043] The buffer layer 4 can cover the inner wall of the storage cavity a or the area adjacent to the rod storage part 2, so as to ensure that when the rod 30 is placed in the storage cavity a and the vehicle is in motion, the rod 30 and the hard surface of the modular interior panel 1 form a flexible contact, so as to avoid the rod 30 being worn or bumped.

[0044] The buffer layer 4 can be made of polyurethane foam, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer foam, silicone pad, or fabric-covered elastic material. It has a certain thickness and resilience, effectively absorbing vibrations and impacts from vehicle movement, preventing scratches on the paint layer of the pole body 30 from the inner wall of the receiving cavity a, or dents from repeated impacts. In some specific embodiments, the buffer layer 4 has a thickness of 5 mm and a hardness of 30° to 40°.

[0045] Furthermore, the buffer layers 4 located on adjacent sides of the storage cavity a are connected by chamfering. Specifically, when the buffer layer 4 is applied or embedded on the inner side of the modular interior panel 1, the edges of the buffer layer 4 are cut or molded into a chamfered shape at a certain angle at the edges where the side walls of different storage cavities a meet, so that the buffer layers 4 on adjacent sides of the storage cavity a smoothly transition at the corners. On the one hand, this eliminates the risk of scratching the rod 30 that may be caused by hard edges, and avoids the surface of the rod 30 being scratched by the edges when it is picked up or when the vehicle is bumpy; on the other hand, the chamfered structure makes the contact surface between the buffer layer 4 and the rod 30 fit better, reducing local stress concentration, thereby improving the uniformity of the buffering and protection effect.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the chamfer between the buffer layers 4 on the adjacent sides of the receiving cavity a is 45°.

[0047] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The modular interior panel 1 has a ventilation hole 12 on at least one side.

[0048] The location and number of vents 12 can be determined based on the internal space of the storage cavity a, the material properties of the rod 30, and the vehicle's operating environment. For example, to ensure air circulation, the vents 12 are typically located close to the door 60 or window 50. The vents 12 can be located on one side of the modular interior panel 1; or there can be two vents 12 located on opposite sides of the modular interior panel 1 to ensure air convection within the storage cavity a; or there can be four vents 12 located around the perimeter of the modular interior panel 1 to allow for rapid changes in temperature and humidity within the storage cavity a.

[0049] The shape of the vent 12 can be circular, elliptical or narrow groove. Its pore diameter or groove width design needs to take into account both ventilation performance and protection. It can allow the moisture and heat in the storage cavity a to be discharged appropriately when the vehicle is stationary or in motion, while preventing dust, water droplets or foreign objects from directly entering the storage cavity a.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the vent 12 is provided on the top of the modular interior panel 1, and the vent diameter is 0.1 mm.

[0051] Furthermore, the embedded storage component 10, as shown in the reference... Figure 4 It also includes a dustproof net 5 covering the ventilation holes 12.

[0052] The dustproof net 5, while functioning with the ventilation holes 12, effectively blocks external pollutants from entering the storage cavity a, preventing dust from affecting the feel or appearance of the rod 30. It also prevents fine particles from entering and abrading the surface of the rod 30 or the buffer layer 4 during vehicle vibration. For vehicles frequently used in dusty, humid, or rainy environments, the dustproof net 5 enhances the environmental adaptability and durability of the embedded storage component 10.

[0053] In addition, the fine structure of the dustproof net 5 has little resistance to airflow and will not affect the air pressure balance and ventilation efficiency. Therefore, while ensuring protection, it can still maintain the original moisture-proof, stuffiness-proof and temperature regulation functions of the ventilation holes 12.

[0054] In some embodiments, the dustproof net 5 can be tightly attached to the periphery of the outer or inner ventilation holes 12 of the modular interior panel 1 by ultrasonic welding, hot pressing, or snap fastening, so that the dustproof net 5 is flush with or slightly recessed with the trim surface of the body pillar 40, thereby preventing it from easily falling off during daily use or cleaning and maintaining the integrity of the vehicle interior appearance.

[0055] Optionally, the dustproof net 5 may be made of a fine fiber mesh or a metal microporous mesh.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the embedded storage component 10 also includes a pull-out bracket 8, which is mounted on the modular interior panel 1. A portion of the pull-out bracket 8 can extend out of the storage cavity a through the opening 11. The rod storage part 2 is provided on the pull-out bracket 8, and when the pull-out bracket 8 is pulled out, the rod storage part 2 is located outside the opening 11.

[0057] The pull-out drawer 8 is mounted on the modular interior panel 1 and can use a sliding rail with rollers 81, a linear guide groove, or a sliding groove limiting structure to allow the pull-out drawer 8 to move smoothly back and forth towards the passenger space. One end or part of the pull-out drawer 8 can extend outward through the opening 11 into the storage cavity a, thereby extending the internal storage cavity a to the outside of the opening 11, providing users with a larger operating space and field of vision when taking out or taking out the rod 30. The rod storage part 2 is fixedly mounted on the pull-out drawer 8, and the position of the rod storage part 2 matches the extension stroke of the pull-out drawer 8. When the pull-out drawer 8 is pulled out to the predetermined position, the rod storage part 2 is completely outside the opening 11, and the user can directly reach in or take out the rod 30 without having to fumble inside the narrow storage cavity a, significantly improving the convenience of operation.

[0058] In addition, the cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to the pull-out bracket 8 so that the cover plate 3 covers the opening 11 when the pull-out bracket 8 is retracted.

[0059] The cover plate 3 can be fixedly linked to the pull-out bracket 8 by screws, clips, or integrated injection molding. When the pull-out bracket 8, together with the rod storage part 2, retracts inward into the storage cavity a, the cover plate 3 resets and completely covers the opening 11, restoring the outer surface of the modular interior panel 1 to a flat state and keeping it flush with the vehicle pillar 40 and surrounding interior panels. At the same time, the texture of the outer surface of the cover plate 3 is consistent with the pillar interior panel, ensuring the overall aesthetics of the vehicle interior. When the pull-out bracket 8 is pulled outward, the cover plate 3 moves away from the opening 11 along with the pull-out bracket 8, fully exposing the opening 11 for easy access to the rod 30.

[0060] In some designs, the pull-out bracket 8 is a concealed drawer structure. The outer layer of the pull-out bracket 8 has a decorative cover plate of the same material and texture as the B-pillar interior panel, approximately 2-3mm thick, which perfectly conforms to the B-pillar curvature, ensuring the pull-out bracket 8 is flush with the B-pillar interior panel when not in use, with no exposed gaps or handles, maintaining the overall integrity of the vehicle's appearance. The inner layer of the pull-out bracket 8 has a drawer frame made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, fixed to the B-pillar sheet metal, and has guide grooves on the frame to facilitate sliding of the storage cavity a. Sealing strips are fitted around the groove edges to prevent dust from entering. The pull-out bracket 8 forms a linkage mechanism with the concealed button and the magnetic component. When the magnetic component is locked, the decorative cover is completely attached to the B-pillar interior panel, and the pull-out opening is blocked. When the user presses the concealed button, the magnetic component is unlocked, and the pull-out bracket 8 slides outward under the action of the spring. The decorative cover naturally exposes the pull-out channel as the pull-out bracket 8 moves, or the cover 3 is kept fixed and slides out directly from under the cover 3, realizing the function of concealed retrieval rod 30.

[0061] In other designs, the pull-out rod holder 8 is designed as a pull-out rod compartment structure. The compartment of the pull-out rod holder 8 has a long, hollow, rectangular shape, made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer reinforced with glass fiber, providing waterproof and impact-resistant properties. Its inner diameter is adapted to common fishing rod diameters (typically 25–35mm), and its length is set to 60–100cm depending on the height of the B-post and the length of the fishing rod. Guide rails are installed on both sides of the pull-out rod holder 8, cooperating with the fixed guide rails inside the B-post to ensure a smooth, jam-free pulling process. A spring return mechanism consisting of a compression spring is installed between the tail of the compartment and the fixed end of the B-post for automatic extension of the rod compartment after unlocking; a limit block is provided at the front of the compartment to prevent complete dislodgement, and a cushioning pad is installed at the tail to reduce impact noise during storage. When not in use, the rod compartment is fully retracted inside the B-pillar, the spring is compressed and locked by the magnetic component; when the user presses the hidden button to unlock, the spring releases its elasticity, pushing the pull-out bracket 8 to slide outward along the slide rail about 15cm, exposing the rod compartment for easy access; after use, manually push the pull-out bracket 8 back, the spring is compressed again, the magnetic component is locked again, and storage is complete.

[0062] In some designs, the pull-out rod holder 8 integrates a magnetic assembly as a locking and unlocking mechanism. A magnetic plate, made of ferromagnetic material (such as galvanized steel), is fixed to the tail of the pull-out rod holder 8, precisely aligning with a magnetic base fixed inside the B-pillar. The magnetic base contains a permanent magnet with a magnetic force of at least 5N, reliably securing the pull-out rod holder 8 while the vehicle is in motion, resisting vibration and inertial forces. The magnetic base and magnetic plate each have a tapered positioning protrusion and groove to ensure precise alignment during adsorption and prevent misalignment. When not fully retracted, the magnetic plate separates from the magnetic base, allowing the pull-out rod holder 8 to be pushed in freely; when fully retracted, the two adhere together, generating an adsorption force of at least 5N to lock the rod compartment. To unlock, pressing the concealed button transmits mechanical force to separate the magnetic base from the magnetic plate (or, in an electrically controlled magnetic design, triggering the electromagnet to de-energize), the magnetic force disappears, and a spring return mechanism pushes the pull-out rod holder 8 outwards, achieving quick and silent unlocking and ejection.

[0063] In other solutions, the operation of the pull-out rack 8 is controlled by a concealed button. This concealed button features an embedded design, flush with the B-pillar interior trim panel, with no visible protrusion. The pressing travel is approximately 1-2mm, and the material matches the trim panel, ensuring a comfortable feel and no aesthetic damage. A microswitch or mechanical push rod is located beneath the button as a trigger mechanism, linked to the magnetic assembly. A small internal return spring ensures the button automatically rebounds after being pressed, providing quiet operational feedback. Users identify the button's location through the texture of the trim panel or subtle tactile feedback and press it. Pressing the button triggers the microswitch or push rod, transmitting an unlock signal to the magnetic assembly, causing it to separate and release the pull-out rack 8. After releasing the button, it resets, awaiting the next operation. This design, combined with the magnetic locking and spring return mechanism of the pull-out rack 8, achieves concealed, convenient, and quiet rod holder retrieval and placement control.

[0064] In some embodiments, the embedded storage component 10 further includes a snap-fit ​​structure 9 connecting the pull-out shelf 8 and the modular interior panel 1.

[0065] Preferably, the latching structure 9 adopts a PUSH-PUSH structure known in the prior art. That is, when pressed towards the cover plate 3, it can achieve the effect of alternating latching and unlocking.

[0066] In this application, the push-push structure used in the snap-fit ​​structure 9 can adopt a solution known in the prior art. For example... Figure 6 The buckle structure 9 shown adopts a labyrinth push-push structure. Specifically, the buckle structure 9 includes a guide block 91 and a torsion spring 92. The surface of the guide block 91 is provided with a guide groove. The guide block 91 can be installed on the modular interior panel 1. The torsion spring 92 is installed on the pull-out bracket 8 via a support shaft 93. One cantilever of the torsion spring 92 presses against the pull-out bracket 8, and the other cantilever of the torsion spring 92 can cooperate in the guide groove and reciprocate within the guide groove.

[0067] Specifically, the guide groove is an annular groove with a starting point A and a positioning point B at both ends. The cantilever of the torsion spring 92 is limited to sliding unidirectionally clockwise (or counterclockwise) along the guide groove. When the cantilever of the torsion spring 92 is at the positioning point B, the guide block 91 locks the torsion spring 92. The outer peripheral wall of the guide block 91 has an opening P that extends to the starting point A. Thus, when the pull-out bracket 8 is pushed back into the receiving cavity a by a thrust, one cantilever of the torsion spring 92 can extend into the guide groove from the opening P, and then slide from the starting point A along the guide groove to the positioning point B, where the torsion spring 92 is locked, securing the pull-out bracket 8.

[0068] When the locked pull-out bracket 8 is pushed again, one cantilever of the torsion spring 92 can slide from positioning point B along the guide groove to the starting point of movement A, and then slide out from the opening P, thereby unlocking the pull-out bracket 8.

[0069] Here, at each turn, the bottom of the guide groove has steps, allowing the cantilever of the torsion spring 92 to slide unidirectionally along the bottom of the groove, ensuring a fixed motion trajectory.

[0070] In other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​structure 9 employs other types of structures. Specifically, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 9 includes a latch 94, a locking pin 95, a locking ball 96, and an elastic body 97. The latch 94 can be mounted on the modular interior panel 1, and a locking channel 941 is provided on the latch 94. The locking pin 95 can be mounted on the pull-out bracket 8, and one end of the locking pin 95 can be inserted into the locking channel 941. The locking ball 96 and the elastic body 97 are located within the locking channel 941. After the locking pin 95 is inserted into the locking channel 941, the locking ball 96 moves towards the locking pin 95 under the action of the elastic body 97 and locks into the lock hole 951 of the locking pin 95. When it is necessary to open the pull-out bracket 8, the pull-out bracket 8 can be pulled outwards. The pulling force overcomes the elasticity of the elastic body 97, causing the locking ball 96 to be squeezed out of the lock hole 951, unlocking the locking pin 95, which can then slide out of the locking channel 941.

[0071] In some embodiments, the cover plate 3 is provided with a handle, which is usually located in an easy-to-grip area on the exposed surface of the cover plate 3. When the user needs to take out the rod 30, he / she only needs to grasp the handle and pull the cover plate 3 outward to remove the rod 30. The connection between the handle and the cover plate 3 can be achieved by snap-fit, screw fixing or integral injection molding to ensure that it is not easy to loosen under vehicle bumps or frequent use.

[0072] In other embodiments, micro-grids can be designed on the side of the pull-out rack 8 for storing small items such as floats and mainline boxes.

[0073] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3The rod storage part 2 includes at least two first retaining rings 21 arranged at intervals along the top and bottom. The first retaining rings 21 are provided with a retaining slot 211. The first retaining rings 21 are adapted to clamp the rod 30, and the rod 30 is adapted to be inserted into or pulled out from the retaining slot 21.

[0074] In some schemes, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the rod storage section 2 can be arranged externally, with the first retaining ring 21 partially exposed outside the storage cavity a or near the opening 11. For example, when the pull-out bracket 8 is pulled out to the use position, the latches 211 of the upper and lower first retaining rings 21 are directly exposed outside the opening 11, allowing the user to directly see and insert or remove the fishing rod from the latches 211 without having to fumble around in the storage cavity a. Simultaneously, the exposed portion of the first retaining ring 21 can use the same or similar material and texture as the modular interior panel 1 or the pull-out bracket 8, making it visually coordinated with the interior and reducing any abruptness. To prevent dust accumulation or foreign objects from entering the exposed latches 211, removable dust plugs or flexible baffles can be installed at the edges of the latches 211.

[0075] In other designs, the first retaining ring 21 is entirely located inside the storage cavity a. When the pull-out bracket 8 is fully retracted, all first retaining rings 21 and latches 211 are concealed by the cover plate 3, thus maximizing the integrity and simplicity of the vehicle body pillars 40 and interior. When taking out or putting in the fishing rod, the pull-out bracket 8 or the cover plate 3 must first be opened to expose the first retaining ring 21, and then the rod 30 is inserted through the latch 211. After storage, the pull-out bracket 8 is pushed back or the cover plate 3 is closed, and the first retaining ring 21 is hidden back in the storage cavity a.

[0076] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The embedded storage component 10 also includes at least one storage box 7, which is disposed inside the modular interior panel 1 or the cover 3.

[0077] The number of storage boxes 7 can be one or more. When there is one storage box 7, it can be set on the modular interior panel 1 or on the inside of the cover plate 3. When there are two storage boxes 7, one of them can be set on the modular interior panel 1 and the other can be arranged on the inside of the cover plate 3. Users can place multiple rods 30 at the same time.

[0078] Additionally, pliers, fishing hooks, and other items can be placed in the empty storage box 7 to achieve integrated and hidden storage of "rods and accessories," further enhancing practicality.

[0079] The design of this application is very flexible. In some designs, due to the excessive length of the fishing rod, the lower end of the rod can extend beyond the storage cavity a. When the cover plate 3 is in place, it can cover the upper part of the fishing rod. This also achieves a certain degree of protection and visual appeal.

[0080] The vehicle according to the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the embedded storage component 10, including any of the above embodiments, is fixedly connected to the vehicle body pillar 40.

[0081] As an important structural component of the vehicle's passenger compartment, the body pillar 40 is usually located between the front or rear door 60 and the window 50 (such as the common B-pillar and C-pillar positions). The body pillar 40 has a usable cavity space inside. The embedded storage component 10 replaces the original pillar interior panel with a modular interior panel 1 and forms a stable connection with the cavity wall of the body pillar 40 by means of fasteners, buckles or adhesives, so as to ensure that it does not loosen or shift under conditions such as vehicle bumps, steering or emergency braking.

[0082] Alternatively, the embedded storage component 10 can be used as a separate modular structure, allowing users to modify the original vehicle themselves. Priority is given to models with B-pillars and C-pillars featuring a "hollow steel structure + removable interior panel" (such as SUVs and MPVs, where the B-pillars and C-pillars are 8mm wider than those of smaller cars, providing a basis for modification). No body cutting is required; the modification can be achieved simply by replacing the original pillar interior panels with the customized embedded storage component 10, reducing vehicle adaptation costs.
