Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of vehicle accessories, specifically relating to a vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device 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] With the increasing popularity of automobiles and the improvement of people's living standards, driving in the rain has become commonplace. To improve the user experience, some car models are equipped with umbrella storage devices, allowing users to store umbrellas in them. To further enhance umbrella stability, these devices typically include locking mechanisms to secure the umbrellas and reduce noise during driving. However, existing locking mechanisms can only lock specific types of umbrellas, limiting the flexibility of the storage device and the overall user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device to increase the flexibility of the umbrella storage device and thus improve the user experience.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: A vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device, comprising: The housing unit has an internal umbrella cavity, one end of the housing unit is provided with a passage communicating with the umbrella cavity, and the side is provided with an extension port communicating with the umbrella cavity. A locking unit is disposed in the housing unit and includes a locking assembly and a driving assembly. The locking assembly has a locking portion that can extend into the umbrella cavity through the extension port, and the locking assembly has a locking position in which the locking portion extends at least partially into the umbrella cavity and an unlocking position in which it is completely disengaged from the umbrella cavity. The driving assembly is used to drive the locking assembly to move between the locking position and the unlocking position.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the vehicle umbrella storage device of this application, the umbrella is first placed into the umbrella cavity through the inlet, and then the drive component is activated so that the drive component drives the locking component, thereby causing the locking component to move from the unlocked position to the locked position. The locking part extends into the umbrella cavity through the extension inlet, thereby causing the locking part to press against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella, so as to lock the umbrella in the umbrella cavity, thereby increasing the stability of the umbrella placed in the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0007] When the locking assembly is in the locked position, at least a portion of the locking part extends into the umbrella cavity, thereby locking the umbrella located in the umbrella cavity by pressing the locking part against the outer circumferential surface of the umbrella. This allows the locking unit to lock various types of umbrellas. Compared with existing solutions, this reduces the requirements of the vehicle umbrella storage device on the umbrellas, avoiding the situation where the umbrella storage device can only store specific umbrellas, thus increasing the flexibility of the umbrella storage device and greatly improving the user experience.

[0008] Since the drive component is used to drive the locking component to move between the locked and unlocked positions, it achieves automatic locking of the umbrella by driving the locking component towards the locked position and automatic unlocking of the umbrella by driving the locking component towards the unlocked position. This allows the vehicle umbrella storage device to lock or unlock the umbrella without user intervention, improving the automation level of the vehicle umbrella storage device and further enhancing the user experience.

[0009] Meanwhile, since the locking component completely disengages from the umbrella cavity when it is in the unlocked position, it can avoid contact with the umbrella, making it easier to place or remove the umbrella from the umbrella cavity, thus further improving the user experience.

[0010] Optionally, the locking assembly includes a first locking arm and a second locking arm, the first locking arm and the second locking arm being located on opposite sides of the housing unit, and both the first locking arm and the second locking arm being provided with the locking part.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, since the first locking arm and the second locking arm are located on opposite sides of the housing unit, and both the first locking arm and the second locking arm are provided with locking parts, on the one hand, the locking points of the locking assembly on the umbrella can be increased to increase the locking stability of the umbrella, and on the other hand, the forces on opposite sides of the umbrella can be balanced to increase the stability of the umbrella.

[0012] Optionally, the driving component includes a driving member and an elastic member. The elastic member is used to drive the locking component to move toward the locking position. When the driving member is energized, it drives the locking component to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member and move toward the unlocking position.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when placing an umbrella into the umbrella cavity, the driving component is first powered to drive the locking component, which then overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element and moves towards the unlocked position. The umbrella is then placed into the umbrella cavity through the port. After the umbrella is placed in the umbrella cavity, the driving component is powered off to stop driving the locking component and reset it. This causes the locking component to move towards the locking position under the action of the elastic element, ultimately causing the locking part to press against the outer circumference of the umbrella, thereby locking the umbrella in the umbrella cavity.

[0014] Because the elastic element in this application is used to drive the locking assembly to move toward the locked position, when the driving element is energized, it drives the locking assembly to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element and move toward the unlocked position. Thus, on the one hand, the locking assembly can be driven to the unlocked position by energizing the driving element, and on the other hand, the locking assembly can be driven to the unlocked position by the elastic force of the elastic element when the driving element is de-energized, thereby realizing the driving of the locking assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position. On the other hand, the elastic force of the elastic element can also be used to automatically adjust the clamping force between the locking part and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella. This not only avoids the situation where the clamping force between the locking part and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella is too large and may damage the umbrella, but also ensures the clamping force between the locking part and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella to ensure the locking effect of the umbrella, thereby increasing the stability of the umbrella placed in the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0015] Meanwhile, since the elastic element drives the locking component to move toward the locked position, and the driving element drives the locking component to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element and move toward the unlocked position when the driving element is energized, then when unlocking or locking the umbrella, it is only necessary to control the driving element to be energized or de-energized, thereby simplifying the control logic of the driving component, ensuring the working stability of the vehicle umbrella storage device, and reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0016] Optionally, the locking assembly includes a first locking arm and a second locking arm disposed opposite to each other, the elastic element is an elastic torsion disc disposed on the housing unit, the first locking arm and the second locking arm are both connected to the elastic torsion disc, the driving element is a push rod motor disposed on the housing unit, and the push rod of the push rod motor can apply a force to the first locking arm or the second locking arm toward the unlocking position.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the umbrella is placed in the umbrella cavity, the push rod motor is first energized, and the push rod of the push rod motor extends, so that the push rod of the push rod motor applies a force to one of the first locking arm and the second locking arm toward the unlocking position. This causes one of the first locking arm and the second locking arm to move toward the unlocking position. Since both the first locking arm and the second locking arm are connected to the elastic torsion disc, when one of the first locking arm and the second locking arm moves toward the unlocking position under the action of the push rod motor, one of them will drive the elastic torsion disc to rotate, causing the elastic component inside the elastic torsion disc to elasticate. The first and second locking arms deform, and under the action of the elastic torsion disc, the other arm also moves toward the unlocking position, eventually causing both the first and second locking arms to move to the unlocking position. Then, the umbrella is inserted into the umbrella cavity through the inlet. After the umbrella is placed in the umbrella cavity, the power to the push rod motor is turned off, the push rod of the push rod motor retracts, and the elastic component inside the elastic torsion disc gradually recovers its deformation, causing the elastic torsion disc to rotate in the opposite direction. Under the action of the elastic torsion disc, the first and second locking arms move toward the locking position, eventually causing the locking part to extend into the umbrella cavity through the inlet and press against the outer circumference of the umbrella, thereby locking the umbrella.

[0018] Optionally, both the first locking arm and the second locking arm have a connecting section, the connecting section being provided with a connecting groove, and the elastic torsion disc being provided with a connecting part extending into the connecting groove.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, since both the first locking arm and the second locking arm have connecting sections with connecting grooves, and the elastic torsion disc has a connecting part extending into the connecting groove, the elastic torsion disc can rotate under the action of the first locking arm or the second locking arm. On the other hand, the first locking arm and the second locking arm can move toward the locking position under the action of the elastic torsion disc. Furthermore, the elastic torsion disc can also achieve synchronous movement of the first locking arm and the second locking arm, thereby simplifying the structural design of the vehicle umbrella storage device and reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0020] Optionally, the housing unit has a shield covering the outside of the connecting section, the shield having a guide groove, and the connecting section being located in the guide groove.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, since the housing unit has a shield covering the outside of the connecting section, it can, on the one hand, shield the connecting section to prevent the connecting section from being unable to move or being damaged due to the displacement of other parts of the vehicle, thereby ensuring the working stability and service life of the vehicle umbrella storage device. On the other hand, it can also limit the connecting section to increase its stability. Furthermore, since the shield has a guide groove, and the connecting section is located in the guide groove, it can, on the one hand, use the groove wall of the guide groove to position and limit the connecting section to increase the stability of the first locking arm and the second locking arm. On the other hand, when the first locking arm and the second locking arm move, the groove wall of the guide groove can also guide the connecting section to ensure that the first locking arm and the second locking arm move in the set direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the first locking arm and the second locking arm during movement.

[0022] Optionally, the guide groove wall is provided with a plurality of protrusions at intervals along the moving direction of the connecting section, and the guide groove wall contacts the connecting section through the protrusions.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, since the guide groove wall is provided with multiple protrusions at intervals along the moving direction of the connecting section, the guide groove wall contacts the connecting section through the protrusions. This reduces the contact area between the connecting section and the guide groove wall, thereby reducing the friction between the connecting section and the guide groove wall. This reduces the driving load of the push rod motor and the elastic torsion disc on the locking assembly. On the other hand, it ensures the guiding effect of the guide groove wall on the connecting section, thereby ensuring the movement stability of the first locking arm and the second locking arm.

[0024] Optionally, the first locking arm or the second locking arm is provided with an extension section, and the push rod of the push rod motor drives the locking assembly to move toward the unlocking position through the extension section.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, since the first locking arm or the second locking arm is provided with an extension section, the push rod of the push rod motor drives the locking assembly to move toward the unlocking position through the extension section. Thus, on the one hand, the push rod motor can drive the first locking arm or the second locking arm, and on the other hand, the driving stability of the driving component on the first locking arm or the second locking arm is guaranteed.

[0026] Optionally, the housing unit is provided with a guide rib located on the side of the extension section, the guide rib being located between the push rod motor and the locking part.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, since the housing unit is provided with guide ribs located on the side of the extension section, on the one hand, the extension section can be limited by the cooperation of the guide ribs and the extension section to increase the stability of the first locking arm or the second locking arm. On the other hand, the extension section can be guided by the guide ribs to increase the stability of the movement of the first locking arm or the second locking arm. Furthermore, since the guide ribs are located between the push rod motor and the locking part, on the one hand, the space between the push rod motor and the locking part can be reasonably utilized to increase the structural compactness of the vehicle umbrella storage device, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the miniaturization design of the vehicle umbrella storage device. On the other hand, the guide ribs can be made as close as possible to the locking part to increase the stability of the locking part.

[0028] Optionally, the extension section is provided with a connecting portion on the side near the housing unit, and the connecting portion contacts the guide rib.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, since the extension section is provided with a connecting part on the side close to the housing unit, and the connecting part contacts the guide rib, it can increase the contact area between the guide rib and the extension section to increase the guiding effect of the guide rib on the extension section. On the other hand, it can also increase the guiding stroke of the guide rib on the connecting section to further increase the guiding effect of the guide rib on the first locking arm or the second locking arm.

[0030] Optionally, the locking part is elastic and has a deformation notch and contact sections located on both sides of the deformation notch, the contact sections being used to contact the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking part is elastic, has a deformation notch and contact sections on both sides of the deformation notch, and the contact sections are used to contact the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella. Thus, on the one hand, when the locking part is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella under the action of the driving component, the locking part can deform to increase the contact area between the locking part and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella, thereby increasing the locking stability of the umbrella. On the other hand, it can increase the deformation range of the locking part, so that when the locking part is in the locked position, it can lock more types of umbrellas, thereby further increasing the flexibility of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0032] This application also provides a vehicle to increase vehicle flexibility, thereby improving the user experience.

[0033] A vehicle including the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device as described above.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, since the vehicle in this application uses the aforementioned umbrella storage device, the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device can lock various types of umbrellas. Compared with the existing technology, it reduces the requirements of the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device on the umbrellas, thereby avoiding the situation where the umbrella storage device can only store special umbrellas, thus increasing the flexibility of the vehicle and greatly improving the user experience.

[0035] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows: 1. The vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device of this application includes a housing unit and a locking unit. The housing unit has an umbrella-containing cavity inside. One end of the housing unit is provided with a passage communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity, and the side is provided with an extension port communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity. The locking unit is located in the housing unit and includes a locking component and a driving component. The locking component has a locking part that can extend into the umbrella-containing cavity through the extension port. The locking component has a locking position in which the locking part at least partially extends into the umbrella-containing cavity and an unlocking position in which it is completely disengaged from the umbrella-containing cavity. The driving component is used to drive the locking component to move between the locking position and the unlocking position, so that the locking unit can lock umbrellas of various models. Compared with the prior art, this reduces the requirements of the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device on the umbrellas, so as to avoid the situation where the umbrella storage device can only store special umbrellas, thereby increasing the flexibility of the umbrella storage device and greatly improving the user experience.

[0036] 2. The locking assembly in this application includes a first locking arm and a second locking arm. The first locking arm and the second locking arm are located on opposite sides of the housing unit. Both the first locking arm and the second locking arm are provided with locking parts. This can increase the number of locking points of the locking assembly on the umbrella, thereby increasing the locking stability of the umbrella. On the other hand, it can also balance the forces on opposite sides of the umbrella, thereby increasing the stability of the umbrella.

[0037] 3. The driving component in this application includes a driving member and an elastic member. The elastic member is used to drive the locking component to move toward the locking position. When the driving member is energized, it drives the locking component to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member and move toward the unlocking position. Thus, on the one hand, the locking component can be driven to the unlocking position by energizing the driving member, and on the other hand, the locking component can be driven to the unlocking position by the elastic force of the elastic member when the driving member is de-energized, thereby realizing the driving of the locking component between the locking position and the unlocking position. On the other hand, the elastic force of the elastic member can also be used to automatically adjust the clamping force between the locking part and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella. This not only avoids the situation where the clamping force between the locking part and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella is too large and may damage the umbrella, but also ensures the clamping force between the locking part and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella to ensure the locking effect of the umbrella, thereby increasing the stability of the umbrella placed in the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 12 A vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device is disclosed, comprising a housing unit 1 and a locking unit. The housing unit 1 has an umbrella-containing cavity inside, one end of the housing unit 1 is provided with a passage 111 communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity, and the side is provided with an extension port 131 communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity. The locking unit is disposed in the housing unit 1 and includes a locking component 2 and a driving component 3. The locking component 2 has a locking part 211 that can extend into the umbrella-containing cavity through the extension port 131, and the locking component 2 has a locking position in which the locking part 211 at least partially extends into the umbrella-containing cavity and an unlocking position in which it is completely disengaged from the umbrella-containing cavity. The driving component 3 is used to drive the locking component 2 to move between the locking position and the unlocking position.

[0046] It is understood that the locking part 211 can move relative to the housing unit 1 so that the locking part 211 can be inserted into the umbrella cavity through the extension port 131 and pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5 located in the umbrella cavity under the action of the drive assembly 3, or completely detached from the umbrella cavity to separate from the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5.

[0047] When using the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device of this application, the umbrella 5 is first placed into the umbrella cavity through the port 111, and then the drive assembly 3 is activated so that the drive assembly 3 drives the locking assembly 2, thereby causing the locking assembly 2 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position. The locking part 211 extends into the umbrella cavity through the extension port 131, thereby causing the locking part 211 to press against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5, so as to lock the umbrella 5 in the umbrella cavity, thereby increasing the stability of the umbrella 5 placed in the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device.

[0048] When the locking assembly 2 is in the locked position, at least a portion of the locking part 211 extends into the umbrella cavity, thereby locking the umbrella 5 located in the umbrella cavity by pressing the locking part 211 against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5. This allows the locking unit to lock various types of umbrellas 5. Compared with existing solutions, this reduces the requirements of the vehicle umbrella storage device on the umbrella 5, avoiding the situation where the umbrella storage device can only store special umbrellas 5, thus increasing the flexibility of the umbrella storage device and greatly improving the user experience.

[0049] It should be noted that, depending on the model of the umbrella, when the locking component 2 locks the umbrella, the locking part 211 can be pressed against the outer circumferential surface of the umbrella handle, or the locking part 211 can be pressed against the outer circumferential surface of the umbrella body.

[0050] Since the drive component 3 is used to drive the locking component 2 to move between the locked position and the unlocked position, it achieves automatic locking of the umbrella 5 by driving the locking component 2 towards the locked position using the drive component 3, and automatic unlocking of the umbrella 5 by driving the locking component 2 towards the unlocked position using the drive component 3. This allows the vehicle umbrella storage device to lock or unlock the umbrella 5 without user intervention, thereby improving the automation level of the vehicle umbrella storage device and further enhancing the user experience.

[0051] Meanwhile, when the locking component 2 is in the unlocked position, the locking part 211 completely disengages from the umbrella cavity, thereby enabling the locking part 211 to avoid contact with the umbrella 5, which facilitates placing or removing the umbrella 5 from the umbrella cavity, thus further improving the user experience.

[0052] This application does not specifically limit the structure of shell unit 1; preferably, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing unit 1 includes a first housing 11, a second housing 12, and an intermediate housing 13 disposed between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The first housing 11, the second housing 12, and the intermediate housing 13 are coaxially arranged, and the first housing 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the intermediate housing 13 away from the second housing 12. The second housing 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the intermediate housing 13 away from the first housing 11. The internal spaces of the first housing 11, the second housing 12, and the intermediate housing 13 together form a housing cavity. The end of the first housing 11 away from the intermediate housing 13 is open and forms a passage 111. A locking unit is disposed in the intermediate housing 13, and an extension 131 is disposed on the side of the intermediate housing 13, so as to facilitate the manufacturing of the housing unit 1.

[0053] The better one is to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A connecting plate 112 is fixedly connected to the end of the first housing 11 away from the middle housing 13, so that the vehicle umbrella storage device can be installed in the vehicle through the fixed connection of the connecting plate 112 to the vehicle. A sealing ring 113 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 112 near the middle housing 13, so that after the vehicle umbrella storage device is installed in the vehicle, the sealing ring 113 is located between the connecting plate 112 and the vehicle to increase the sealing between the connecting plate 112 and the vehicle.

[0054] This application does not specify the connection method between the sealing ring 113 and the connecting plate 112. Preferably, the sealing ring 113 is attached to the connecting plate 112 with double-sided adhesive to increase the connection stability between the sealing ring 113 and the connecting plate 112, thereby avoiding the situation where the sealing ring 113 is easy to shift. This makes it easier to accurately install the sealing ring 113 into place, so as to ensure the sealing performance between the sealing ring 113 and the connecting plate 112 and the vehicle.

[0055] In other embodiments, the housing unit 1 may also be composed of an integrally formed housing structure.

[0056] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the locking component 2; preferably, refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The locking assembly 2 includes a first locking arm 21 and a second locking arm 22. The first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 are located on opposite sides of the housing unit 1, and both the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 are provided with a locking part 211.

[0057] It is understood that the shell unit 1 has an extension port 131 on both sides opposite to each other. The two extension ports 131 are provided one-to-one with the two locking parts 211. Each locking part 211 can extend into the umbrella cavity or detach from the umbrella cavity through its corresponding extension port 131.

[0058] Since the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 are located on opposite sides of the housing unit 1, and both the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 are provided with locking parts 211, on the one hand, the locking points of the locking assembly 2 on the umbrella 5 can be increased to increase the locking stability of the umbrella 5, and on the other hand, the forces on opposite sides of the umbrella 5 can be balanced to increase the stability of the umbrella 5.

[0059] In other embodiments, the locking assembly 2 includes a locking rod that is slidably connected to the housing unit 1 radially. The driving assembly 3 is used to drive the locking rod to slide so that one end of the locking rod can extend into the umbrella cavity through the extension port 131 under the action of the driving assembly 3. The end of the locking rod near the housing unit 1 forms the locking part 211, which simplifies the structural design of the locking assembly 2 and thus reduces the manufacturing cost of the vehicle umbrella storage device. Alternatively, the locking assembly 2 includes an arm body that is hinged to the housing unit 1 at the middle position along the length of the arm body. The locking part 211 is located on the side of the arm body opposite to the extension port 131. The driving assembly 3 is located at the end of the arm body away from the locking part 211 and is used to drive the arm body to rotate so that when the driving assembly 3 drives the arm body, the locking part 211 moves toward the side where the umbrella cavity is located or toward the side away from the umbrella cavity under the driving action of the arm body.

[0060] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the driving component 3; preferably, refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The drive assembly 3 includes a drive member 31 and an elastic member 32. The elastic member 32 is used to drive the locking assembly 2 to move toward the locking position. When the drive member 31 is energized, it drives the locking assembly 2 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 32 and move toward the unlocking position.

[0061] It is understandable that when the drive unit 31 is energized, the drive unit 31 moves the locking component 2 toward the unlock position so that the locking component 2 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 32 and moves toward the unlock position; while when the drive unit 31 is de-energized, the drive unit 31 resets so that the elastic member 32 gradually recovers its deformation and drives the locking component 2 toward the locking position.

[0062] When placing the umbrella 5 into the umbrella cavity, power is first supplied to the drive member 31 so that the drive member 31 drives the locking component 2, thereby causing the locking component 2 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 32 and move toward the unlocked position, so that the locking component 2 moves to the unlocked position, and then the umbrella 5 is placed into the umbrella cavity through the through port 111; after the umbrella 5 is placed into the umbrella cavity, the power is de-energized to the drive member 31 so that the drive member 31 stops driving the locking component 2 and resets, so that the locking component 2 moves toward the locking position under the action of the elastic member 32, and finally the locking part 211 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5, so as to lock the umbrella 5 in the umbrella cavity.

[0063] Since the elastic element 32 in this application is used to drive the locking component 2 to move toward the locked position, when the driving element 31 is energized, it drives the locking component 2 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 32 and move toward the unlocked position. Thus, on the one hand, the driving element 31 can be energized to drive the locking component 2 to the unlocked position, and when the driving element 31 is de-energized, the elastic force of the elastic element 32 can be used to drive the locking component 2 to the unlocked position, thereby realizing the driving of the locking component 2 between the locked position and the unlocked position. On the other hand, the elastic force of the elastic element 32 can also be used to automatically adjust the clamping force between the locking part 211 and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5. This not only avoids the situation where the clamping force between the locking part 211 and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5 is too large and may damage the umbrella 5, but also ensures the clamping force between the locking part 211 and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5 to ensure the locking effect of the umbrella 5, thereby increasing the stability of the umbrella 5 placed in the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0064] Meanwhile, since the elastic element 32 drives the locking component 2 to move toward the locked position, and the driving element 31 drives the locking component 2 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 32 and move toward the unlocked position when it is energized, then when unlocking or locking the umbrella 5, it is only necessary to control the driving element 31 to be energized or de-energized, thereby simplifying the control logic of the driving component 3, ensuring the working stability of the vehicle umbrella storage device, and reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0065] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic element 32 and the driving element 31. Preferably, refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The locking assembly 2 includes a first locking arm 21 and a second locking arm 22 disposed opposite to each other. The elastic element 32 is an elastic torsion disc disposed on the housing unit 1. The first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 are both connected to the elastic torsion disc. The driving element 31 is a push rod motor disposed on the housing unit 1. The push rod of the push rod motor can apply a force to the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22 toward the unlocking position.

[0066] It is understandable that a push rod motor has a push rod. When the push rod motor is powered on, the push rod of the push rod motor extends, and when the push rod motor is powered off, the push rod of the push rod motor retracts.

[0067] When the umbrella 5 is placed in the umbrella cavity, the push rod motor is first energized, and the push rod of the push rod motor extends, so that the push rod of the push rod motor applies a force to one of the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 toward the unlocking position. This causes one of the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 to move toward the unlocking position. Since both the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 are connected to the elastic torsion disc, when one of the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 moves toward the unlocking position under the action of the push rod motor, one of them will drive the elastic torsion disc to rotate, causing the elastic components inside the elastic torsion disc to undergo elastic deformation. Simultaneously, the two... The other arm, under the action of the elastic torsion disc, also moves toward the unlocking position, eventually causing both the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 to move to the unlocking position. Then, the umbrella 5 is inserted into the umbrella cavity through the passage 111. After the umbrella 5 is placed in the umbrella cavity, the push rod motor is de-energized, the push rod of the push rod motor retracts, and the elastic component inside the elastic torsion disc gradually recovers its deformation, causing the elastic torsion disc to rotate in the opposite direction. Under the action of the elastic torsion disc, the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 move toward the locking position, eventually causing the locking part 211 to be inserted into the umbrella cavity through the insertion port 131 and pressed against the outer circumference of the umbrella 5, thereby locking the umbrella 5.

[0068] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic torsion disc. Preferably, the elastic torsion disc includes a housing, a torsion spring, and a disc body. The housing has a receiving cavity, in which the torsion spring and the disc body are located. The disc body is coaxially connected to a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the housing. The rotating shaft passes through the torsion spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the housing, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the disc body. The housing is fixedly connected to the intermediate housing 13 of the housing unit 1. When the push rod of the push rod motor drives the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22, the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22 drives the elastic torsion disc to rotate, causing the disc body to rotate around the rotating shaft. At this time, the torsion spring gradually undergoes elastic deformation and applies an elastic force to the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 toward the locking position. In other embodiments, the housing design can be omitted, and one end of the torsion spring can be directly fixedly connected to the intermediate housing 13 of the housing unit 1.

[0069] Preferably, the housing unit 1 is provided with a first mounting position and a second mounting position. The elastic torsion disc is fixedly mounted to the first mounting position by screws, and the push rod motor is fixedly mounted to the second mounting position by screws to increase the stability of the elastic torsion disc and the push rod motor.

[0070] This application does not specifically limit the relative positional relationship between the elastic torsion disc and the push rod motor. Preferably, both the elastic torsion disc and the push rod motor are located between the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22, and are located on opposite sides of the housing unit 1. This makes reasonable use of the space on opposite sides of the housing unit 1, allowing the elastic torsion disc and the push rod motor to avoid each other, thus facilitating their installation and improving the assembly efficiency of the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device. In other embodiments, the elastic torsion disc and the push rod motor may also be located on the same side of the housing unit 1.

[0071] This application does not specify the connection method between the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 and the elastic torsion disc. Preferably, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Both the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 have a connecting section 212, the connecting section 212 is provided with a connecting groove 215, and the elastic torsion disc is provided with a connecting part 321 extending into the connecting groove 215.

[0072] It is understood that the connecting section 212 and the elastic torsion disk are located on the same side of the housing unit 1. There are two connecting parts 321, which are respectively provided in the connecting grooves 215 on the two connecting sections 212, and each connecting part 321 is located in its corresponding connecting groove 215. The first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 can slide relative to the housing unit 1 along the first direction. The rotation axis of the elastic torsion disk is the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The connecting groove 215 extends along a third direction perpendicular to the first direction, which is perpendicular to the second direction. The connecting part 321 is provided on the disk body of the elastic torsion disk so that when the disk body rotates, the connecting part 321 can rotate relative to the connecting groove 215, and at the same time, the connecting part 321 can also slide relative to the connecting groove 215 along the third direction to ensure the smooth rotation of the disk body.

[0073] Since both the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 have a connecting section 212, and the connecting section 212 is provided with a connecting groove 215, and the elastic torsion disc is provided with a connecting part 321 extending into the connecting groove 215, the elastic torsion disc can rotate under the action of the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22. On the other hand, the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 can move towards the locking position under the action of the elastic torsion disc. Furthermore, the elastic torsion disc can also achieve synchronous movement of the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22, thereby simplifying the structural design of the vehicle umbrella storage device and thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0074] Preferably, the two connecting parts 321 are located on opposite sides of the rotation axis of the disc body, so that the connecting section 212 of the first locking arm 21 and the connecting section 212 of the second locking arm 22 can avoid each other, and when the disc body of the elastic torsion disc rotates, the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 can move toward each other or toward each other.

[0075] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the connecting part 321. Preferably, the connecting part 321 is a sphere fixedly connected to the elastic torsion disk body to improve the smoothness of the relative movement between the connecting part 321 and the connecting groove 215. In other embodiments, the connecting part 321 can also be other structures, such as a cylinder.

[0076] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The housing unit 1 has a shield 132 covering the outside of the connecting section 212. The shield 132 has a guide groove 133, and the connecting section 212 is located in the guide groove 133.

[0077] It is understood that the shield 132 is fixedly connected to the intermediate housing 13, and the connecting section 212 is located between the intermediate housing 13 and the shield 132.

[0078] Since the housing unit 1 has a shield 132 covering the outside of the connecting section 212, the shield 132 can be used to shield the connecting section 212 to prevent the connecting section 212 from being unable to move or being damaged due to the displacement of other parts of the vehicle, thereby ensuring the working stability and service life of the vehicle umbrella storage device. On the other hand, the shield 132 can also be used to limit the connecting section 212 to increase the stability of the connecting section 212.

[0079] Furthermore, since the shield 132 has a guide groove 133 and the connecting section 212 is located in the guide groove 133, the connecting section 212 can be positioned and limited by the groove wall of the guide groove 133 to increase the stability of the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22. On the other hand, when the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 move, the connecting section 212 can also be guided by the groove wall of the guide groove 133 to ensure that the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 move in the set direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 during movement.

[0080] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The guide groove 133 has multiple protrusions 134 spaced apart along the moving direction of the connecting section 212, and the guide groove 133 contacts the connecting section 212 through the protrusions 134.

[0081] It is understood that the two opposite walls of the guide groove 133 are provided with a plurality of protrusions 134 at intervals along the moving direction of the connecting section 212, so that the two opposite sides of the connecting section 212 respectively contact the groove wall of the guide groove 133 through the protrusions 134.

[0082] Since the guide groove 133 has multiple protrusions 134 spaced apart along the moving direction of the connecting section 212, the guide groove 133 contacts the connecting section 212 through the protrusions 134. This reduces the contact area between the connecting section 212 and the guide groove 133, thereby reducing the friction between the connecting section 212 and the guide groove 133, and thus reducing the driving load of the push rod motor and the elastic torsion disc on the locking assembly 2. On the other hand, it ensures the guiding effect of the guide groove 133 on the connecting section 212, so as to ensure the movement stability of the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22.

[0083] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the protrusion 134. Preferably, the protrusion 134 is a protrusion structure with a semi-circular cross-sectional shape, so as to further reduce the contact area between the connecting section 212 and the groove wall of the guide groove 133, thereby further reducing the driving load of the push rod motor and the elastic torsion disc. In other embodiments, the protrusion 134 can also be other structures, such as a block structure.

[0084] In other embodiments, both the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 are hinged with hinge arms, one end of which is hinged to the body of the elastic torsion disk, so that both the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 are connected to the elastic torsion disk through the hinge arms, so that the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 can be moved synchronously by using the elastic torsion disk and driven towards the locking position.

[0085] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22 is provided with an extension section 213, and the push rod of the push rod motor drives the locking assembly 2 to move toward the unlocking position through the extension section 213.

[0086] It is understood that the extension section 213 is fixedly connected to the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22, and the push rod of the push rod motor is located on the side of the extension section 213 closer to the housing unit 1.

[0087] Since the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22 is provided with an extension section 213, the push rod of the push rod motor drives the locking assembly 2 to move toward the unlocking position through the extension section 213. This enables the push rod motor to drive the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22, and ensures the driving stability of the drive component 31 on the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22.

[0088] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing unit 1 is provided with a guide rib 135 located on the side of the extension section 213, and the guide rib 135 is located between the push rod motor and the locking part 211.

[0089] It is understandable that there are two guide ribs 135, which are located on opposite sides of the extension section 213.

[0090] Since the housing unit 1 is provided with a guide rib 135 located on the side of the extension section 213, on the one hand, the extension section 213 can be limited by the cooperation of the guide rib 135 and the extension section 213 to increase the stability of the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22. On the other hand, the extension section 213 can be guided by the guide rib 135 to increase the stability of the movement of the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22.

[0091] Furthermore, since the guide rib 135 is located between the push rod motor and the locking part 211, it can make reasonable use of the space between the push rod motor and the locking part 211 to increase the structural compactness of the vehicle umbrella storage device, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the vehicle umbrella storage device. On the other hand, it can also make the guide rib 135 as close as possible to the locking part 211 to increase the stability of the locking part 211.

[0092] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The extension section 213 is provided with a connecting part 216 on the side near the shell unit 1, and the connecting part 216 contacts the guide rib 135.

[0093] It is understood that the connecting part 216 is fixedly connected to the extension section 213, and the connecting part 216 is located between the two guide ribs 135.

[0094] Since the extension section 213 is provided with a connecting part 216 on the side close to the housing unit 1, and the connecting part 216 contacts the guide rib 135, it can increase the contact area between the guide rib 135 and the extension section 213 to increase the guiding effect of the guide rib 135 on the extension section 213. On the other hand, it can also increase the guiding stroke of the guide rib 135 on the connecting section 212 to further increase the guiding effect of the guide rib 135 on the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22. At the same time, the connecting part 216 can also increase the structural strength of the extension section 213 to ensure the service life of the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22.

[0095] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the connecting portion 216. Preferably, the connecting portion 216 is a block-shaped structure provided on the extension section 213, and the side of the connecting portion 216 near the housing unit 1 is provided with an arc-shaped surface adapted to the outer contour of the housing unit 1, so that the connecting portion 216 can be used to abut against the outer peripheral surface of the housing unit 1 to limit the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 216 can also be other structures provided on the extension section 213, such as a columnar structure.

[0096] Preferably, the push rod of the push rod motor is used to drive the first locking arm 21, that is, the first locking arm 21 is provided with an extension section 213, and the push rod of the push rod motor drives the first locking arm 21 toward the unlocking position through the extension section 213, while the second locking arm 22 moves toward the unlocking position along with the first locking arm 21 under the action of the elastic torsion disc.

[0097] In other embodiments, the elastic element 32 can also be a tension spring, with one end of the tension spring attached to the first locking arm 21 and the other end attached to the second locking arm 22. The driving element 31 is a double-rod cylinder, with one piston rod of the double-rod cylinder positioned opposite to the first locking arm 21 and used to drive the first locking arm 21 to move downward to the unlock position. The other piston rod of the double-rod cylinder is positioned opposite to the second locking arm 22 and used to drive the second locking arm 22 to move towards the unlock position. When the piston rod of the double-rod cylinder extends, the double-rod cylinder drives the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 towards the unlock position, and the tension spring is subjected to tension, causing the tension spring to deform and apply an elastic force to the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 to move towards the locking position. When the piston rod of the double-rod cylinder retracts, the tension spring gradually recovers its deformation, so that the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 move towards the locking position under the tension of the tension spring.

[0098] In other embodiments, the drive assembly 3 may also be a telescopic drive structure such as an electric actuator, a cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder, with the piston rod of the electric actuator, cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder fixedly connected to the locking part 211 to drive the locking part 211 to move between the unlocked position and the locked position; or, the drive assembly 3 may include a motor and a lead screw coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, with the lead screw having external threads that are opposite to each other extending from the middle position along its own length direction, and the two ends of the lead screw being threaded through the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 respectively, so that the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 move toward each other or away from each other under the rotation of the lead screw.

[0099] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the locking part 211; preferably, refer to... Figure 5 The locking part 211 is elastic and has a deformation notch 214 and contact sections located on both sides of the deformation notch 214. The contact sections are used to contact the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5.

[0100] It is understandable that the locking part 211 is made of an elastic material, such as rubber, silicone, nylon, etc., and the two contact sections are spaced apart along the axis of the housing unit 1.

[0101] Because the locking part 211 is elastic, the locking part 211 has a deformation notch 214 and contact sections located on both sides of the deformation notch 214. The contact sections are used to contact the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5. Thus, on the one hand, when the locking part 211 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5 under the action of the drive component 3, the locking part 211 can deform to increase the contact area between the locking part 211 and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5, thereby increasing the locking stability of the umbrella 5. On the other hand, it can increase the deformation range of the locking part 211 so that when the locking part 211 is in the locked position, it can lock more types of umbrellas 5, thereby further increasing the flexibility of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0102] This application does not specifically limit the method of fixing the locking part 211 to the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22. Preferably, each locking part 211 is fixedly connected to its corresponding first locking arm 21 or second locking arm 22 by screws, so as to increase the connection stability between the locking part 211 and the first locking arm 21 and the second locking arm 22 and to facilitate the assembly of the locking part 211. In other embodiments, the locking part 211 can also be fixedly connected to its corresponding first locking arm 21 or second locking arm 22 by adhesive.

[0103] Of course, in other embodiments, the contact segments are also spaced circumferentially along the housing unit 1 so that the opening wall of the clearance notch can contact the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5, thereby increasing the contact area between the locking part 211 and the umbrella 5, and thus increasing the locking stability of the umbrella 5; or, the locking part 211 is made of plastic material so that the locking part 211 can be fixedly connected to the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22 by integral molding, thereby increasing the connection stability between the locking part 211 and the first locking arm 21 or the second locking arm 22.

[0104] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 A lifting assembly 4 is provided at the end of the second housing 12 away from the intermediate housing 13. The lifting assembly 4 includes a lead screw motor 41 fixedly connected to the second housing 12 and a lifting block 42 located inside the second housing 12. A connecting groove 121 communicating with the umbrella cavity is provided on the side of the second housing 12. The extending direction of the connecting groove 121 is parallel to the axial direction of the second housing 12. The lifting block 42 is provided with a positioning block 421 extending out of the umbrella cavity through the connecting groove 121. The positioning block 421 is provided with a threaded hole. The lead screw of the lead screw motor 41 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the positioning block 421 so that the rotation of the lead screw of the lead screw motor 41 drives the positioning block 421 to move the lifting block 42 along the axial direction of the second housing 12. This allows the end of the umbrella 5 installed in the umbrella cavity away from the second housing 12 to move to the outside of the umbrella cavity through the through-hole 111, so as to facilitate the user to take the umbrella 5 out of the umbrella cavity.

[0105] Preferably, the second housing 12 has a connecting groove 121 on each of its opposite sides, and the lifting block 42 has a positioning block 421 on each of its opposite sides. The screw of the motor is threaded to one of the positioning blocks 421 to increase the limiting effect of the positioning block 421 on the lifting block 42. When the vehicle umbrella storage device extends at an angle to the horizontal direction, the screw of the screw motor 41 is located above the housing unit 1, so that one of the connecting grooves 121 is located at the bottom of the housing unit 1, so that the rainwater that follows the umbrella 5 into the umbrella cavity can be discharged along the connecting groove 121 located at the bottom of the housing unit 1.

[0106] The better one is to refer to Figure 11The second housing 12 has an integrally formed support block 122 on its side. The lead screw of the lead screw motor 41 passes through the support block 122 and can rotate relative to the support block 122. The support block 122 supports the lead screw of the lead screw motor 41 to increase the stability of the lead screw motor 41. Two support blocks 122 are arranged at intervals. A positioning block 421 is located between the two support blocks 122 to limit the positioning block 421 and prevent the positioning block 421 from disengaging from the lead screw of the lead screw motor 41.

[0107] Furthermore, refer to Figure 10 Each of the two support blocks 122 is provided with a buffer body 123 on the side where they are close to each other. The buffer body 123 is used to isolate the positioning block 421 from the support block 122. This avoids the abnormal noise caused by the collision between the positioning block 421 and the support block 122, thereby improving the user experience. On the other hand, the buffer body 123 can reduce the impact of the positioning block 421 on the support block 122, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the support body and the second housing 12.

[0108] This application does not specify the material used to manufacture the buffer body 123. Preferably, the buffer body 123 is made of rubber to ensure the buffering effect of the buffer body 123 on the positioning block 421. In other embodiments, the buffer body 123 may also be made of other materials, such as silicone, nylon, etc.

[0109] Furthermore, the lifting block 42 is provided with a central hole, and an elastic ring 422 is engaged with the wall of the central hole. After the umbrella 5 is placed in the umbrella cavity, the tip of the umbrella 5 passes through the central hole, and the elastic ring 422 is sleeved on the outside of the tip and undergoes elastic deformation under the action of the tip. The lifting block 42 supports the umbrella 5 and the elastic ring 422 fixes the tip of the umbrella 5, thereby further increasing the stability of the umbrella 5 placed in the umbrella cavity.

[0110] Furthermore, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12 A pressure sensor 423 is provided around the central hole at one end of the lifting block 42 near the first housing 11. When the umbrella 5 is placed in the umbrella cavity, the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5 near the tip comes into contact with the pressure sensor 423, causing the pressure value of the pressure sensor 423 to change. At this time, the pressure sensor 423 sends a signal to the lead screw motor 41, so that the lead screw motor 41 moves the positioning block 421 away from the first housing 11, thereby allowing the umbrella 5 to be fully placed in the umbrella cavity.

[0111] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 10A spring 124 is provided inside the second housing 12. One end of the spring 124 abuts against the wall of the second housing 12 away from the first housing 11, and the other end of the spring 124 abuts against the lifting block 42. The spring 124 applies an elastic force toward the end of the first housing 11 to the lifting, so that the positioning block 421 and the lead screw of the lead screw motor 41 always maintain a tight fit. This avoids the situation where there is a gap between the external thread of the lead screw and the internal thread of the positioning block 421, which would affect the driving efficiency of the lead screw motor 41 on the positioning block 421, thus ensuring the driving efficiency of the lead screw motor 41 on the positioning block 421.

[0112] This application also discloses a vehicle that includes a vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device as described above.

[0113] Because the vehicle in this application uses the aforementioned vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device, the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device can lock various types of umbrellas 5. Compared with the prior art, it reduces the requirements of the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device on the umbrellas 5, so as to avoid the situation where the umbrella storage device can only store special umbrellas 5, thereby increasing the flexibility of the vehicle and greatly improving the user experience.

[0114] This application does not specifically limit the installation location of the vehicle umbrella storage device. Preferably, the vehicle umbrella storage device is installed on the vehicle door, and the device is inclined downwards from the first housing 11 to the second housing 12, so that the umbrella 5 can enter the umbrella cavity by its own weight, making it convenient for the user to place the umbrella 5 in the cavity and increasing the stability of the umbrella 5 within it. Of course, in other embodiments, the vehicle umbrella storage device can also be installed in other locations on the vehicle, such as the trunk.

[0115] For any parts not mentioned in this application, existing technologies may be used or referenced.

[0116] 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.

[0117] 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.
