Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of vehicle storage, specifically relating to a storage box and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] An automobile is a vehicle with multiple wheels that is powered by a power unit. It is mainly used to transport people and goods and is one of the most important means of transportation in modern society.

[0003] Storage compartments are components installed inside vehicles for storing items. To enhance privacy, they are typically fitted with covers to conceal the interior space. Currently, there are two common cover designs: one where the cover rotates to open the compartment, and another where it slides to open. However, both methods require manual operation, impacting the user experience. Therefore, implementing automatic opening of the storage compartment is a pressing technical challenge. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a storage box that can be automatically opened, thereby improving the user's car-using experience.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: A storage box, comprising: The box body has a storage cavity inside and an opening for taking out and putting in the storage cavity; A cover assembly is provided at the retrieval port, and the cover assembly has a closed position that closes the retrieval port and an open position that opens the retrieval port. The cover assembly includes a first cover plate and a second cover plate. During the movement of the cover assembly from the closed position to the open position, both the first cover plate and the second cover plate rotate relative to the box body, and the second cover plate slides toward the side where the first cover plate is located. A drive mechanism is provided on the housing, the drive mechanism is connected to the cover assembly and is used to drive the cover assembly to move between the closed position and the open position.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the storage box is opened, the drive mechanism is activated to drive the cover assembly toward the open position, thereby causing the cover assembly to move from the closed position to the open position. The first and second cover plates rotate relative to the box body, while the second cover plate slides toward the side where the first cover plate is located, so that the cover assembly finally moves to the open position, at which point the cover assembly opens the retrieval port. When the storage box is closed, the drive mechanism is activated to drive the cover assembly toward the closed position, thereby causing the cover assembly to move from the open position to the closed position. The first and second cover plates rotate relative to the box body, while the second cover plate slides toward the side away from the first cover plate, so that the cover assembly finally moves to the closed position, at which point the cover assembly closes the retrieval port.

[0007] Since the drive mechanism is used to drive the cover assembly to move between the closed position and the open position, the automatic opening and closing of the storage box is realized, thereby improving the user's driving experience of the vehicle equipped with the storage box of this application.

[0008] Furthermore, when the cover assembly moves from the closed position to the open position, both the first and second cover plates rotate relative to the box body, and the second cover plate slides toward the side where the first cover plate is located. As a result, after the cover assembly opens the retrieval opening, the second cover plate can slide to the side where the first cover plate is located to ensure the opening area of ​​the retrieval opening, thereby facilitating the user to retrieve and place items, and further improving the user experience.

[0009] Optionally, the driving mechanism includes a driving component and a transmission component. The transmission component is connected to the first cover plate and the second cover plate. The driving component is used to drive the transmission component to move, so that the first cover plate and the second cover plate move between the closed position and the open position under the action of the transmission component.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, since the driving mechanism includes a driving component and a transmission component, the transmission component is connected to the first cover plate and the second cover plate, and the driving component is used to drive the transmission component to move, so that the first cover plate and the second cover plate move between the closed position and the open position under the action of the transmission component. Thus, the first cover plate and the second cover plate can be driven by a set of driving components, thereby reducing the number of driving components, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the storage box, and also reducing the failure rate of the storage box, so as to further improve the user experience.

[0011] Optionally, the transmission assembly includes a first transmission rod, a second transmission rod, a third transmission rod, and a fourth transmission rod. The middle portion of the first transmission rod is hinged to the middle portion of the second transmission rod, and the third transmission rod is hinged to the fourth transmission rod. One end of the first transmission rod is fixedly connected to the first cover plate, and the other end of the first transmission rod is hinged to the fourth transmission rod. The second transmission rod has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, and the second end is hinged to the third transmission rod. The third transmission rod is fixedly connected to the second cover plate. The driving assembly is used to drive the first end to move, so that the included angle formed between the first transmission rod and the second transmission rod changes.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the storage box is opened, the drive component is activated to drive the transmission component. Under the action of the drive component, the transmission component drives the cover assembly toward the open position, thereby causing the first end of the second transmission rod to move away from the first transmission rod, so that the included angle between the first and second transmission rods gradually increases. At the same time, the first and second transmission rods rotate relative to each other. The first cover plate rotates with the first transmission rod, and the second cover plate rotates with the third transmission rod. Simultaneously, the second cover plate moves toward the side where the first cover plate is located, thereby realizing the automatic opening of the storage box.

[0013] When the storage box is closed, the drive assembly is activated to drive the transmission assembly. Under the action of the drive assembly, the transmission assembly drives the cover assembly toward the closed position, which in turn causes the first end of the second transmission rod to move toward the direction closer to the first transmission rod, so that the included angle between the first and second transmission rods gradually decreases. At the same time, the first and second transmission rods rotate relative to each other. The first cover rotates with the first transmission rod, and the second cover rotates with the third transmission rod. Simultaneously, the second cover moves toward the side away from the first cover with the third transmission rod, so as to automatically close the storage box.

[0014] In summary, by setting the transmission components as a first transmission rod, a second transmission rod, a third transmission rod, and a fourth transmission rod, the first and second cover plates can be driven using the same drive component, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the storage box.

[0015] Optionally, the storage cavity wall is provided with a sliding groove, the extension direction of the sliding groove is parallel to the sliding direction of the second cover plate, and the second cover plate is provided with a fixed shaft fixedly connected to the third transmission rod, the fixed shaft passing through the third transmission rod and extending into the sliding groove.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, since the extension direction of the chute is parallel to the sliding direction of the second cover plate, and the second cover plate is provided with a fixed shaft fixedly connected to the third transmission rod, and the fixed shaft passes through the third transmission rod and extends into the chute, the second cover plate and the third transmission rod are fixedly connected. On the other hand, the sliding cooperation between the fixed shaft and the chute can guide the sliding of the second cover plate to increase the stability of the second cover plate when sliding. Furthermore, the cooperation between the fixed shaft and the chute wall can support the second cover plate to increase the stability of the second cover plate.

[0017] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a motor, a drive shaft that is driven to the output shaft of the motor, and a drive block that is threaded to the drive shaft, the drive block being connected to the first end.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when driving the transmission component, the motor is started so that the output shaft of the motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the transmission block to rotate relative to the transmission shaft. The transmission block drives the first end to move along the axial direction of the transmission shaft, thereby causing the second transmission rod to rotate relative to the first transmission rod, thus realizing the driving of the transmission component.

[0019] Optionally, the storage cavity wall is provided with guide ribs located on both sides of the transmission block, and the extension direction of the guide ribs is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission shaft.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, since the cavity wall of the storage cavity is provided with guide ribs on both sides of the transmission block, and the extension direction of the guide ribs is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission shaft, the guide ribs can be used to guide and limit the transmission block, thereby increasing the stability of the transmission block when it moves along the axial direction of the transmission shaft, thus ensuring the stability of the drive assembly when it is working and ensuring the driving efficiency of the drive assembly on the transmission assembly.

[0021] Optionally, the transmission assembly is provided in two sets, with the two sets of transmission assemblies located on both sides of the first cover plate. The drive assembly also includes a connecting shaft connected to the transmission block, with both ends of the connecting shaft connected to the first ends of the two second transmission rods.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, since there are two sets of transmission components, which are located on both sides of the first cover plate, the cover plate assembly can be balanced when driven, thus ensuring the smoothness of the cover plate assembly movement. Furthermore, since the drive assembly also includes a connecting shaft connected to the transmission block, with both ends of the connecting shaft connected to the first ends of the two second transmission rods, it is possible to use one drive assembly to drive two sets of transmission components, thereby reducing the number of drive assemblies, and thus reducing the production cost and failure rate of the storage box.

[0023] Optionally, the storage cavity wall is provided with a guide groove, and the end of the connecting shaft passes through the first end and extends into the guide groove.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, since the cavity wall of the storage cavity is provided with a guide groove, the end of the connecting shaft passes through the first end of the second transmission rod and extends into the guide groove. Thus, on the one hand, the sliding cooperation between the connecting shaft and the guide groove can be used to guide the first end of the second transmission rod to ensure that the first end of the second transmission rod moves along the set path. On the other hand, the sliding cooperation between the connecting shaft and the guide groove can also be used to guide the connecting shaft to ensure that the connecting shaft moves along the set path.

[0025] Optionally, the second cover plate has a clearance portion located at one end of the second cover plate near the first cover plate.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, since the avoidance part is located at the end of the second cover plate close to the first cover plate, the avoidance part can be used to make the ends of the first cover plate and the second cover plate close to each other form an avoidance. On the one hand, it ensures the smoothness of the cover plate assembly when moving from the closed position to the open position and the smoothness of the cover plate assembly when moving from the open position to the closed position. On the other hand, it can reduce the gap between the first cover plate and the second cover plate to improve the sealing performance of the cover plate assembly for the opening.

[0027] This application also provides a vehicle that enables automatic opening of the storage box, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0028] A vehicle including a storage box as described above.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, since the vehicle in this application uses the aforementioned storage box, the automatic opening and closing of the storage box is realized, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0030] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows: 1. The storage box in this application includes a box body, a cover assembly, and a drive mechanism. The box body has a storage cavity inside and a retrieval opening communicating with the storage cavity. The cover assembly is located at the retrieval opening and has a closed position that closes the retrieval opening and an open position that opens the retrieval opening. The cover assembly includes a first cover plate and a second cover plate. During the movement of the cover assembly from the closed position to the open position, both the first cover plate and the second cover plate rotate relative to the box body, and the second cover plate slides toward the side where the first cover plate is located. The drive mechanism is located in the box body and is connected to the cover assembly and is used to drive the cover assembly to move between the closed position and the open position, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the storage box and improving the user's driving experience of the vehicle equipped with the storage box of this application.

[0031] 2. The drive mechanism in this application includes a drive assembly and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is connected to the first cover plate and the second cover plate. The drive assembly is used to drive the transmission assembly to move, so that the first cover plate and the second cover plate move between the closed position and the open position under the action of the transmission assembly. This reduces the number of drive assemblies, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the storage box and also reducing the failure rate of the storage box, thus further improving the user experience.

[0032] 3. The transmission assembly described in this application includes a first transmission rod, a second transmission rod, a third transmission rod, and a fourth transmission rod. The middle portion of the first transmission rod is hinged to the middle portion of the second transmission rod, and the third transmission rod is hinged to the fourth transmission rod. One end of the first transmission rod is fixedly connected to the first cover plate, and the other end of the first transmission rod is hinged to the fourth transmission rod. The second transmission rod has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The second end is hinged to the third transmission rod, and the third transmission rod is fixedly connected to the second cover plate. The driving assembly is used to drive the first end to move, so that the included angle formed between the first transmission rod and the second transmission rod changes, thereby realizing the driving of the first cover plate and the second cover plate using the same driving assembly, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the storage box.

[0035] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this application, a detailed explanation is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] Furthermore, it should be understood in the description of this application that the terms "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0038] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the "above" or "below" of the second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "implementation," "example," "a particular embodiment," "example," or "specific example," etc., indicate that the specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 10 A storage box is disclosed, comprising a box body 1, a cover assembly 2, and a driving mechanism. The box body 1 has a storage cavity 11 inside and a retrieval opening communicating with the storage cavity 11. The cover assembly 2 is disposed at the retrieval opening and has a closed position for closing the retrieval opening and an open position for opening the retrieval opening. The cover assembly 2 includes a first cover plate 21 and a second cover plate 22. During the movement of the cover assembly 2 from the closed position to the open position, both the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 rotate relative to the box body 1, and the second cover plate 22 slides toward the side where the first cover plate 21 is located. The driving mechanism is disposed in the box body 1, connected to the cover assembly 2, and used to drive the cover assembly 2 to move between the closed position and the open position.

[0041] It is understood that the first cover plate 21 is rotatably connected to the box body 1, and the second cover plate 22 is rotatable relative to the box body 1 and can slide relative to the box body 1 in a direction close to or away from the first cover plate 21; the cover plate assembly 2 also has an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position.

[0042] When the storage box is opened, the drive mechanism is activated to drive the cover assembly 2 toward the open position, causing the cover assembly 2 to move from the closed position to the open position. The first cover 21 and the second cover 22 both rotate relative to the box body 1. At the same time, the second cover 22 slides toward the side where the first cover 21 is located, so that the cover assembly 2 finally moves to the open position, at which point the cover assembly 2 opens the retrieval port. When the storage box is closed, the drive mechanism is activated to drive the cover assembly 2 toward the closed position, causing the cover assembly 2 to move from the open position to the closed position. The first cover 21 and the second cover 22 rotate relative to the box body 1. At the same time, the second cover 22 slides toward the side away from the first cover 21, so that the cover assembly 2 finally moves to the closed position, at which point the cover assembly 2 closes the retrieval port.

[0043] Since the drive mechanism is used to drive the cover assembly 2 to move between the closed position and the open position, the automatic opening and closing of the storage box is realized, thereby improving the user's driving experience of the vehicle equipped with the storage box of this application.

[0044] Furthermore, when the cover assembly 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, both the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 rotate relative to the box body 1, and the second cover 22 slides toward the side where the first cover 21 is located. As a result, after the cover assembly 2 opens the retrieval opening, the second cover 22 can slide to the side where the first cover 21 is located to ensure the opening area of ​​the retrieval opening, thereby facilitating the user to retrieve and place items, and further improving the user experience.

[0045] It should be noted that the cover assembly 2 moves from the closed position to the open position in two ways. In one way, when the cover assembly 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, both the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 rotate towards the outside of the storage cavity 11. Since the cover assembly 2 in this application includes the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22, the end face area of ​​each cover plate can be reduced, thereby reducing the swishing area of ​​the cover assembly 2 when it moves from the closed position to the open position, thus avoiding the cover assembly 2 from moving between the closed and open positions. During movement, interference with other components inside the vehicle may occur, thus increasing the versatility of the storage box; another is that when the cover assembly 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, both the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 rotate toward the interior of the storage cavity 11. In this application, by setting the cover assembly 2 as the first cover 21 and the second cover 22, the end face area of ​​each cover can be reduced, thereby reducing the sweeping area of ​​the cover assembly 2 and reducing the space encroachment of the cover assembly 2 on the storage cavity 11, so as to ensure the effective storage space of the storage cavity 11.

[0046] This application does not specify the location of the access port; see reference... Figure 1 and Figure 4 It can be set on the top of the box body 1 so that the user can pick up the item in the vertical direction, thereby facilitating the picking up of the item and further improving the user experience; it can also be set on the side of the box body 1 so that the user can pick up the item in the horizontal direction; in this application, the example of the pick-up and put-out opening being set on the top of the box body 1 is used for illustration.

[0047] This application does not impose specific limitations on the structure of the drive mechanism, which can adopt any of the following embodiments: Implementation Method 1, in this implementation method, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 The driving mechanism includes a driving component 4 and a transmission component 3. The transmission component 3 is connected to the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22. The driving component 4 is used to drive the transmission component 3 to move, so that the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 move between the closed position and the open position under the action of the transmission component 3.

[0048] It is understandable that the drive component 4 can drive the cover plate component 2 by driving the transmission component 3.

[0049] Since the drive mechanism includes a drive assembly 4 and a transmission assembly 3, the transmission assembly 3 is connected to the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22, and the drive assembly 4 is used to drive the transmission assembly 3 to move, so that the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 move between the closed position and the open position under the action of the transmission assembly 3. Thus, the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 can be driven by a set of drive assemblies 4, thereby reducing the number of drive assemblies 4, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the storage box, and also reducing the failure rate of the storage box, so as to further improve the user experience.

[0050] This application does not impose specific limitations on the structure of the transmission component 3, which can adopt any of the following embodiments: Example 1, in this example, refers to Figures 2 to 8 The transmission assembly 3 includes a first transmission rod 31, a second transmission rod 32, a third transmission rod 33, and a fourth transmission rod 34. The middle part of the first transmission rod 31 is hinged to the middle part of the second transmission rod 32, and the third transmission rod 33 is hinged to the fourth transmission rod 34. One end of the first transmission rod 31 is fixedly connected to the first cover plate 21, and the other end of the first transmission rod 31 is hinged to the fourth transmission rod 34. The second transmission rod 32 has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The second end is hinged to the third transmission rod 33, and the third transmission rod 33 is fixedly connected to the second cover plate 22. The driving assembly 4 is used to drive the first end to move so that the included angle formed between the first transmission rod 31 and the second transmission rod 32 changes.

[0051] It is understandable that the middle part of the first transmission rod 31 in the length direction is hinged to the middle part of the second transmission rod 32 in the length direction.

[0052] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "driving component 4 is used to drive the first end to move so that the included angle formed between the first transmission rod 31 and the second transmission rod 32 changes" refers to the change in the included angle formed between the first transmission rod 31 and the second transmission rod 32 when the driving component 4 drives the first end.

[0053] Specifically, when the cover assembly 2 is in the closed position, both the transmission assembly 3 and the drive assembly 4 are located below the cover assembly 2 and within the storage cavity 11, so that the cover assembly 2 can cover the transmission assembly 3 and the drive assembly 4; the first transmission rod 31 and the third transmission rod 33 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart, and the second transmission rod 32 and the fourth transmission rod 34 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart, and the first transmission rod 31, the second transmission rod 32, the third transmission rod 33 and the fourth transmission rod 34 together form a parallelogram; the connection position between the first transmission rod 31 and the first cover 21 is located above the second transmission rod 32. When the cover assembly 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, both the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 rotate toward the interior of the storage cavity 11, and the first end of the second transmission rod 32 is slidably connected to the box body 1 in the vertical direction; the drive assembly 4 is used to drive the first end to move in the vertical direction.

[0054] When the storage box is opened, the drive assembly 4 is activated to drive the transmission assembly 3. Under the action of the drive assembly 4, the transmission assembly 3 drives the cover assembly 2 toward the open position, thereby causing the first end of the second transmission rod 32 to move away from the first transmission rod 31, that is, the first end of the second transmission rod 32 moves downward, so that the included angle between the first transmission rod 31 and the second transmission rod 32 gradually increases. At the same time, the first transmission rod 31 and the second transmission rod 32 rotate relative to each other. The first transmission rod 31 rotates relative to the fourth transmission rod 34, and the second transmission rod 32 rotates relative to the third transmission rod 33. The first cover 21 rotates with the first transmission rod 31, and the second cover 22 rotates with the third transmission rod 33. At the same time, the second cover 22 moves toward the side where the first cover 21 is located, thereby realizing the automatic opening of the storage box.

[0055] When the storage box is closed, the drive assembly 4 is activated to drive the transmission assembly 3. Under the action of the drive assembly 4, the transmission assembly 3 drives the cover assembly 2 toward the closed position, thereby causing the first end of the second transmission rod 32 to move toward the direction closer to the first transmission rod 31, that is, the first end of the second transmission rod 32 moves upward, so that the included angle between the first transmission rod 31 and the second transmission rod 32 gradually decreases. At the same time, the first transmission rod 31 and the second transmission rod 32 rotate relative to each other. The first transmission rod 31 rotates relative to the fourth transmission rod 34, and the second transmission rod 32 rotates relative to the third transmission rod 33. The first cover 21 rotates with the first transmission rod 31, and the second cover 22 rotates with the third transmission rod 33. At the same time, the second cover 22 moves toward the side away from the first cover 21 with the third transmission rod 33, so as to automatically close the storage box.

[0056] In summary, by configuring the transmission assembly 3 as a first transmission rod 31, a second transmission rod 32, a third transmission rod 33, and a fourth transmission rod 34, the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 can be driven using the same drive assembly 4, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the storage box.

[0057] The better one is to refer to Figure 3 The first cover plate 21 is fixedly connected to a hinge shaft 211, which is fixedly connected to the first transmission rod 31. The hinge shaft 211 passes through the first transmission rod 31 and is inserted into the wall of the box body 1. This achieves both a fixed connection between the first cover plate 21 and the first transmission rod 31 and a rotatable connection between the first cover plate 21 and the box body 1.

[0058] This application does not specify the fixed connection method between the hinge shaft 211 and the first transmission rod 31. The hinge shaft 211 can be fixedly connected to the first transmission rod 31 by adhesive, the hinge shaft 211 can be fixedly connected to the first transmission rod 31 by screws, or even the hinge shaft 211 can be fixedly connected to the first transmission rod 31 by other means.

[0059] This application does not specify the number of the second cover plate 22; preferably, refer to... Figures 1 to 7 Multiple second cover plates 22 are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the first cover plate 21. To facilitate understanding of the technical solution in this application, the second cover plate 22 is arranged in three pieces, and the three second cover plates 22 in a direction away from the first cover plate 21 are respectively defined as the first plate body, the second plate body, and the third plate body. The third transmission rod 33 and the fourth transmission rod 34 are each provided in three pieces and are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the three second cover plates 22. The third transmission rod 33 and the fourth transmission rod 34 arranged corresponding to the same second cover plate 22 are defined as a rod group. The three rod groups are respectively defined as the first rod group arranged corresponding to the first plate body, the second rod group arranged corresponding to the second plate body, and the third rod group arranged corresponding to the third plate body.

[0060] The first plate is fixedly connected to the end of the third transmission rod 33 in the first rod group near the first cover plate 21. The middle part of the third transmission rod 33 in the first rod group is hinged to the middle part of the fourth transmission rod 34 in the length direction. The end of the third transmission rod 33 in the first rod group near the first cover plate 21 is hinged to the second end of the second transmission rod 32. The end of the third transmission rod 33 away from the first cover plate 21 is hinged to the end of the fourth transmission rod 34 in the second rod group near the first cover plate 21. The end of the fourth transmission rod 34 in the first rod group near the first cover plate 21 is hinged to the first transmission rod 31. The end of the fourth transmission rod 34 away from the first cover plate 21 is hinged to the end of the third transmission rod 33 in the second rod group near the first cover plate 21.

[0061] The second plate is fixedly connected to the end of the third transmission rod 33 in the second rod group near the first cover plate 21. The middle part of the third transmission rod 33 in the second rod group is hinged to the middle part of the fourth transmission rod 34 in the second rod group in the second length direction. The end of the third transmission rod 33 in the second rod group away from the first cover plate 21 is hinged to the fourth transmission rod 34 in the third rod group. The end of the fourth transmission rod 34 in the second rod group away from the first cover plate 21 is hinged to the third transmission rod 33 in the third rod group.

[0062] The third plate is fixedly connected to the end of the third transmission rod 33 in the third rod group that is close to the first cover plate 21. The end of the third transmission rod 33 in the third rod group that is away from the first cover plate 21 is hinged to the end of the fourth transmission rod 34 that is away from the first cover plate 21, so as to ensure that the pick-up and drop-off port can be completely closed when the cover plate assembly 2 is in the closed position.

[0063] Of course, in other implementation examples, the second cover plate 22 may also be provided as a single piece.

[0064] Furthermore, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 9 The storage cavity 11 has a groove 12 on its cavity wall. The extension direction of the groove 12 is parallel to the sliding direction of the second cover plate 22. The second cover plate 22 has a fixed shaft 221 fixedly connected to the third transmission rod 33. The fixed shaft 221 passes through the third transmission rod 33 and extends into the groove 12.

[0065] It is understandable that the fixed shaft 221 is fixedly connected to the second cover plate 22.

[0066] Since the extension direction of the slide groove 12 is parallel to the sliding direction of the second cover plate 22, and the second cover plate 22 is provided with a fixed shaft 221 fixedly connected to the third transmission rod 33, and the fixed shaft 221 passes through the third transmission rod 33 and extends into the slide groove 12, the second cover plate 22 and the third transmission rod 33 are fixedly connected. On the other hand, the sliding cooperation between the fixed shaft 221 and the slide groove 12 can guide the sliding of the second cover plate 22 to increase the stability of the second cover plate 22 when sliding. Furthermore, the cooperation between the fixed shaft 221 and the groove wall of the slide groove 12 can support the second cover plate 22 to increase the stability of the second cover plate 22.

[0067] This application does not specify the fixed connection method between the fixed shaft 221 and the third transmission rod 23. The fixed shaft 221 can be fixedly connected to the third transmission rod 23 by adhesive, the fixed shaft 221 can be fixedly connected to the third transmission rod 23 by screws, or even the fixed shaft 221 can be fixedly connected to the third transmission rod 23 by other methods.

[0068] Preferably, the fixed shaft 221 passes through the second transmission rod 32, so as to realize the hinge connection between the third transmission rod 33 and the second transmission rod 32 by using the fixed shaft 221, thereby simplifying the structural design of the transmission assembly 3.

[0069] This application does not specifically limit the positional relationship between the hinge shaft 211 and the first cover plate 21, or the positional relationship between the fixed shaft 221 and the second cover plate 22. Preferably, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The hinge shaft 211 is located at one end of the first cover plate 21, and the fixed shaft 221 is located at one end of the second cover plate 22. When the cover plate assembly 2 is in the closed position, the hinge shaft 211 is located at the end of the first cover plate 21 away from the second cover plate 22, and the fixed shaft 221 is located at the end of the second cover plate 22 closer to the first cover plate 21. Of course, in other embodiments, the hinge shaft 211 may also be located in the middle of the width direction of the first cover plate 21, and the fixed shaft 221 may be located in the middle of the second cover plate 22.

[0070] Preferably, a shielding rib 13 is provided at the top of the transmission component 3 at the retrieval port. The top view projection of the shielding rib 13 can completely cover the transmission component 3. On the one hand, the shielding rib 13 can be used to shield the transmission component 3 to improve the appearance quality of the storage box. On the other hand, it can also reduce the gap between the cover assembly 2 and the retrieval port to improve the privacy of the storage box.

[0071] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that the second cover plate 22 is rotatably connected to the third transmission rod 33, thus eliminating the fixed connection between the fixed shaft 221 and the third transmission rod 33. The fixed shaft 221 can rotate relative to the third transmission rod 33. Meanwhile, a gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the fixed shaft 221, and a rack is fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the storage cavity 11. The rack extends along the sliding direction of the second cover plate 22, and the gear meshes with the teeth of the rack. The third transmission rod 33 drives the second cover plate 22 to move closer to or further away from the first cover plate 21. During the movement of the second cover plate 22, the gear and rack cooperate to adjust the angle of the second cover plate 22.

[0072] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the cover plate assembly 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, the first cover plate 21 rotates toward the inside of the storage cavity 11, while the second cover plate 22 rotates toward the outside of the storage cavity 11.

[0073] This application does not impose specific limitations on the structure of the driving component 4, which can adopt any of the embodiments: Example 1, in this example, refers to Figures 2 to 8 The drive assembly 4 includes a motor, a drive shaft 41 that is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and a drive block 42 that is threaded to the drive shaft 41. The drive block 42 is connected to the first end.

[0074] It is understood that the central axis of the drive shaft 41 extends vertically, the drive shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the external of the drive shaft 41 has external threads, and the drive block 42 has threaded holes that are adapted to the external threads of the drive shaft 41.

[0075] When driving the transmission assembly 3, the motor is started so that the output shaft of the motor drives the transmission shaft 41 to rotate, which in turn causes the transmission block 42 to rotate relative to the transmission shaft 41. The transmission block 42 drives the first end to move along the axial direction of the transmission shaft 41, thereby causing the second transmission rod 32 to rotate relative to the first transmission rod 31, thus realizing the driving of the transmission assembly 3.

[0076] This application does not specify the rotational connection method between the drive shaft 41 and the housing 1. Preferably, refer to... Figure 8 and Figure 9 The storage cavity 11 has supporting ribs 14 on its cavity wall, and the drive shaft 41 passes through the supporting ribs 14 and can rotate relative to the supporting ribs 14, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the storage box. In other embodiments, the drive shaft 41 can also be rotatably connected to the box body 1 through the cooperation of the bearing seat and the bearing.

[0077] This application does not specifically limit the positional relationship between the motor and the storage cavity 11. Preferably, the motor is located in the storage cavity 11 and at the bottom of the drive shaft 41. The motor is fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the storage cavity 11 to reduce the volume of the storage box, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the storage box design. In other embodiments, the motor can also be located at the bottom of the box body 1, and the output shaft of the motor extends into the storage cavity 11 through the wall of the box body 1.

[0078] This application does not specify the transmission connection method between the motor's output shaft and the transmission shaft 41. Preferably, refer to... Figure 10 The bottom of the drive shaft 41 is provided with a coupling hole 411 with a non-circular cross-section. The output shaft of the motor is coaxially and fixedly connected to an adapter shaft that matches the cross-sectional shape of the coupling hole 411. The adapter shaft extends into the coupling hole 411 to realize the transmission connection between the output shaft of the motor and the drive shaft 41. In other embodiments, the output shaft of the motor can also realize the transmission connection with the drive shaft 41 through other structures such as couplings and reducers.

[0079] Furthermore, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The storage cavity 11 has guide ribs 15 located on both sides of the transmission block 42. The extension direction of the guide ribs 15 is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission shaft 41.

[0080] It is understood that the guide ribs 15 extend vertically, and there are at least two guide ribs 15, which are located on both sides of the transmission block 42.

[0081] Since the storage cavity 11 is provided with guide ribs 15 on both sides of the transmission block 42, and the extension direction of the guide ribs 15 is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission shaft 41, the guide ribs 15 can be used to guide and limit the transmission block 42, thereby increasing the stability of the transmission block 42 when it moves along the axial direction of the transmission shaft 41, thus ensuring the stability of the drive assembly 4 when it is working and ensuring the driving efficiency of the drive assembly 4 on the transmission assembly 3.

[0082] This application does not specify the number of transmission components 3; preferably, refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 7 The transmission assembly 3 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of transmission assemblies 3 are respectively located on both sides of the first cover plate 21. The drive assembly 4 also includes a connecting shaft 43 connected to the transmission block 42, and the two ends of the connecting shaft 43 are respectively connected to the first ends of the two second transmission rods 32.

[0083] Since there are two sets of transmission components 3, which are located on both sides of the first cover plate 21 respectively, the cover plate 2 can be balanced when it is driven, so as to ensure the smoothness of the movement of the cover plate 2.

[0084] Furthermore, since the drive assembly 4 also includes a connecting shaft 43 connected to the transmission block 42, with the two ends of the connecting shaft 43 respectively connected to the first ends of the two second transmission rods 32, it is possible to use one set of drive assembly 4 to drive two sets of transmission assemblies 3, thereby reducing the number of drive assemblies 4, and thus reducing the production cost of the storage box and the failure rate of the storage box.

[0085] Furthermore, refer to Figure 9 The storage cavity 11 has a guide groove 16 on its cavity wall, and the end of the connecting shaft 43 passes through the first end of the second transmission rod 32 and extends into the guide groove 16.

[0086] It is understandable that the guide groove 16 extends vertically, and the two opposite walls of the storage cavity 11 are provided with guide grooves 16, with the two ends of the connecting shaft 43 extending into the two guide grooves 16 respectively.

[0087] Since the storage cavity 11 has a guide groove 16, the end of the connecting shaft 43 passes through the first end of the second transmission rod 32 and extends into the guide groove 16. Thus, on the one hand, the sliding cooperation between the connecting shaft 43 and the guide groove 16 can guide the first end of the second transmission rod 32 to ensure that the first end of the second transmission rod 32 moves along the set path. On the other hand, the sliding cooperation between the connecting shaft 43 and the guide groove 16 can also guide the connecting shaft 43 to ensure that the connecting shaft 43 moves along the set path.

[0088] This application does not specifically limit the connection method between the connecting shaft 43 and the transmission block 42. Preferably, the connecting shaft 43 is fixedly connected to the transmission block 42, and the connecting shaft 43 passes through the second transmission rod 32 and can rotate relative to the second transmission rod 32 to increase the connection stability between the connecting shaft 43 and the transmission shaft 41. In other embodiments, the connecting shaft 43 can also be rotatably connected to the transmission block 42, and the connecting shaft 43 is fixedly connected to the second transmission rod 32.

[0089] In Example 2, the drive assembly 4 includes an electric actuator. The piston rod of the electric actuator is hinged to the first end of the second transmission rod 32, and the cylinder of the electric actuator is fixed or hinged to the housing 1, so as to realize the movement of the transmission assembly 3 by using the electric actuator.

[0090] In this embodiment, the electric actuator can be completely located in the storage cavity 11, and the cylinder of the electric actuator is fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the storage cavity 11, so as to facilitate the miniaturization of the storage box and the installation of the storage box; the electric actuator can also be partially located in the storage cavity 11, for example, the cylinder of the electric actuator is located at the bottom of the box body 1, and the piston rod of the electric actuator extends from the bottom of the box body 1 into the storage cavity 11 and is hinged to the first end of the second transmission rod 32.

[0091] Of course, in other embodiments, the drive assembly 4 may also include other structures such as a cylinder that can drive the first end of the second transmission rod 32 to move in the vertical direction.

[0092] In the second embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor and telescopic components. The number of drive motors is equal to the sum of the number of first cover plates 21 and the number of second cover plates 22. The drive motors are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first cover plates 21 and the second cover plates 22. The output shaft of each drive motor is fixedly connected to its corresponding first cover plate 21 or second cover plate 22, so as to drive the corresponding first cover plate 21 or second cover plate 22 to rotate. The number of telescopic components is equal to the number of second cover plates 22 and is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the second cover plates 22. Each telescopic component is connected to its corresponding drive motor and is used to drive the drive motor so that the drive motor moves in a direction closer to or away from the first cover plate 21.

[0093] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the telescopic component. Preferably, the telescopic component is an electric actuator, cylinder, or other structure that can drive the drive motor so that the drive motor drives the second cover plate 22 to move. The extension and retraction direction of the piston rod of the telescopic component is set parallel to the sliding direction of the second cover plate 22. The piston rod of the telescopic component is directly fixedly connected to the housing of the drive motor, or the drive motor is fixedly connected to the fixed plate. The piston rod of the telescopic component is fixedly connected to the fixed plate so that the fixed plate can realize the fixed connection between the piston rod of the telescopic component and the drive motor. The cylinder of the telescopic component is fixedly connected to the housing 1.

[0094] To reduce the gap between the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 when the cover plate assembly 2 is in the closed position, preferably, referring to Figure 5 The second cover plate 22 has a clearance portion 222, which is located at the end of the second cover plate 22 near the first cover plate 21.

[0095] It is understandable that when the cover assembly 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, the avoidance part 222 can avoid the first cover 21; when the cover assembly 2 is about to move to the closed position, the avoidance part 222 can avoid the first cover 21.

[0096] It should be noted that the "avoidance part 222 is located at the end of the second cover plate 22 near the first cover plate 21" mentioned above means that when the cover plate assembly 2 is in the closed position, the avoidance part 222 is located at the end of the second cover plate 22 near the first cover plate 21.

[0097] Since the clearance part 222 is located at the end of the second cover plate 22 close to the first cover plate 21, the clearance part 222 can be used to make the ends of the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 close to each other to form a clearance. On the one hand, it ensures the smoothness of the cover plate assembly 2 when moving from the closed position to the open position and the smoothness of the cover plate assembly 2 when moving from the open position to the closed position. On the other hand, it can reduce the gap between the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 to improve the sealing performance of the cover plate assembly 2 for the opening.

[0098] Preferably, the end of the first cover plate 21 away from the second cover plate 22 is also provided with a clearance part 222 to reduce the gap between the first cover plate 21 and the wall of the loading and unloading opening.

[0099] This application does not specifically limit the formation of the clearance portion 222. Preferably, the second cover plate 22 has a clearance notch at one end near the first cover plate 21, and the wall surface of the clearance notch forms the clearance portion 222. In other embodiments, the clearance portion 222 may also be formed by a chamfer at one end of the second cover plate 22 near the first cover plate 21.

[0100] In other embodiments, for a scheme in which the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 both rotate toward the inside of the storage cavity 11 when the cover plate assembly 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, the second cover plate 22 is provided with an abutment. When the cover plate assembly 2 is in the closed position, the abutment rests against the top of the first cover plate 21 near the end of the second cover plate 22, so as to cover the gap between the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22.

[0101] This application also discloses a vehicle that includes a storage box as described above.

[0102] Because the vehicle in this application uses the aforementioned storage box, the automatic opening and closing of the storage box is achieved, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0103] This application does not specify the installation location of the storage box. It can be installed on the armrest between the driver's seat and the passenger seat, in the center of the rear seats, or even in other locations in the vehicle.

[0104] For any parts not mentioned in this application, existing technologies may be used or referenced.

[0105] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0106] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
