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 driven 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. With the popularization of automobiles and the improvement of people's quality of life, it has become common for people to drive in the rain. In order to improve the user experience, some models are equipped with umbrella storage devices to facilitate the storage of users' umbrellas.

[0003] Currently, umbrella storage devices typically include a housing, a locking component located on the housing, and a driving component located on the housing. The housing has an umbrella-containing cavity inside, and one end of the housing has a passageway communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity, allowing the user to place the umbrella into the cavity through the passageway. The locking component is located on the side of the housing and can lock the umbrella placed in the umbrella-containing cavity to increase the stability of the umbrella. The driving component is located at the end of the housing away from the passageway, and the driving component is usually a spring located in the umbrella-containing cavity. When the umbrella is placed in the umbrella-containing cavity, the umbrella applies pressure to the spring, causing the spring to be in an elastic deformation state. Thus, after the locking component releases the locking of the umbrella, the umbrella can extend at least partially through the passageway to the outside of the umbrella-containing cavity under the elastic force of the spring restoring its deformation, thereby facilitating the user to take the umbrella.

[0004] However, since the driving component is usually a spring, when a short umbrella is placed in the umbrella storage device, the spring cannot apply enough elastic driving force to the umbrella. As a result, when the umbrella is taken out, the spring cannot extend at least part of the umbrella through the opening, which makes it impossible for the user to take the umbrella out of the umbrella cavity, thus affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device to increase the flexibility of the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device, so as to make it easier for users to take out the umbrella from the umbrella cavity, thereby improving the user experience.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: A vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device, comprising: The housing unit has an umbrella-containing cavity inside, and one end of the housing unit is provided with a passage communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity, and the side of the other end is provided with a communicating groove communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity. A drive unit is located at the end of the housing unit away from the passage, and the drive unit includes a pusher located in the umbrella cavity, a transmission member located on the side of the housing unit, and a drive member disposed in the housing unit. The pusher is provided with a driven part that extends out of the umbrella cavity through the communicating groove. The transmission member is connected to the driven part. The drive member is used to drive the transmission member to move, so that the driven part drives the pusher to move along the axial direction of the housing unit under the action of the transmission member.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the umbrella placed in the umbrella cavity is taken out, the driving component is activated so that the driving component drives the transmission component, and then the driven part drives the pushing component to move along the axial direction of the housing unit towards the end near the passage. During the movement of the pushing component, the pushing component can apply a thrust to the umbrella towards the end near the passage, so that the umbrella moves towards the end near the passage under the action of the pushing block, thereby making at least a part of the umbrella extend out of the umbrella cavity through the passage, so as to facilitate the removal of the umbrella.

[0008] In this application, the driving component drives the pushing component through the transmission component and the driven component. By increasing the length of the transmission component, the driving range of the pushing component can be increased. On the one hand, this allows the vehicle umbrella storage device to accommodate umbrellas of various lengths, increasing the flexibility of the vehicle umbrella storage device. On the other hand, it also ensures that the umbrella placed in the umbrella cavity can be moved at least partially to the outside of the umbrella cavity through the opening under the pushing action of the pushing component, so as to facilitate the user to take out the umbrella placed in the umbrella cavity, thereby improving the user experience.

[0009] Furthermore, compared to existing solutions, it no longer relies on the elastic force of a spring to drive the umbrella, thus ensuring stability when driving the umbrella and avoiding the situation where the umbrella cannot be removed due to jamming between the spring and the umbrella. This ensures the stability of the vehicle umbrella storage device during operation and further improves the user experience.

[0010] Because the connecting groove is located on the side of the housing unit, the driven part extends to the outside of the umbrella cavity through the connecting groove, and the transmission part is located on the side of the housing unit and connected to the driven part, the side space of the housing unit can be used in a reasonable way to maximize the length of the housing unit, thereby maximizing the length of the umbrella cavity so that more types of umbrellas can be placed in the umbrella cavity, further improving the flexibility of the vehicle umbrella storage device, and thus further improving the user experience.

[0011] Optionally, the driving component is a lead screw motor, the lead screw of the lead screw motor constitutes the transmission component, and the lead screw thread of the lead screw motor passes through the driven part.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the umbrella placed in the umbrella cavity is taken out, the lead screw motor is started to make the lead screw of the lead screw motor rotate. At the same time, the lead screw of the lead screw motor rotates relative to the driven part. Since the lead screw of the lead screw motor is threaded through the driven part, the driven part drives the pushing member to move along the axial direction of the lead screw. This causes the pushing member to apply a thrust to the umbrella toward the end where the opening is located, so that the umbrella moves toward the end where the opening is located. Finally, at least part of the umbrella extends out of the umbrella cavity through the opening, and then the user can take the umbrella out of the umbrella cavity.

[0013] In this application, by setting the driving component as a lead screw motor, the lead screw of the lead screw motor constitutes the transmission component, and the lead screw thread of the lead screw motor passes through the driven part, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle umbrella storage device on the one hand, and ensuring the transmission efficiency between the transmission component and the driven part on the other hand, so as to ensure the driving efficiency of the pusher on the umbrella, thereby shortening the waiting time required for the user to take the umbrella out of the umbrella cavity, and further improving the user experience.

[0014] Optionally, a fixing position is provided at the end of the housing unit away from the through port, and the motor of the lead screw motor is mounted at the fixing position.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, since a fixed position is provided at the end of the housing unit away from the passage, and the motor of the lead screw motor is installed at the fixed position, the space at the end of the housing unit away from the passage can be reasonably utilized to reduce the size of the vehicle umbrella storage device in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the housing unit. On the one hand, this can facilitate the miniaturization design of the vehicle umbrella storage device, and on the other hand, it can reduce the space requirements of the vehicle umbrella storage device, so as to facilitate the installation of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0016] Optionally, a support portion is provided on the side of the housing unit, the lead screw of the lead screw motor is rotatably connected to the support portion, and the driven portion is located between the support portions.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, since the side of the housing unit is provided with a support part, the lead screw of the lead screw motor is rotatably connected to the support part, and the driven part is located between the support parts. Thus, on the one hand, the support part can be used to support the lead screw of the lead screw motor to increase the stability of the lead screw, thereby ensuring the stability of the threaded connection between the lead screw and the driven part. On the other hand, the support part can be used to limit the driven part to avoid the driven part moving excessively and separating from the lead screw of the lead screw motor. This increases the connection stability between the driven part and the lead screw, thereby ensuring the working stability of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0018] Optionally, the support portion is provided with a buffer portion on the side facing the driven portion, and the driven portion can contact the support portion through the buffer portion.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, since a buffer part is provided on the side of the support part facing the driven part, after the driven part moves to the position of the support part under the action of the lead screw motor, the driven part can contact the support part through the buffer part. On the one hand, this can reduce the impact of the driven part on the support part, so as to ensure the connection stability between the support part and the housing unit, thereby ensuring the support effect of the support part on the lead screw. On the other hand, it can also avoid the abnormal noise caused by direct contact between the driven part and the support part, thereby improving the quality of the vehicle umbrella storage device and further improving the user experience.

[0020] Optionally, an elastic portion is provided in the umbrella cavity, and the elastic portion is located on the side of the pusher opposite to the passage opening.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, since an elastic part is provided in the umbrella cavity, and the elastic part is located on the side of the pusher away from the passage, the elastic part can be used to apply an elastic force to the pusher toward the end where the passage is located, so that the driven part can maintain a tight fit with the lead screw of the lead screw motor under the action of the elastic part. This ensures the driving efficiency of the lead screw motor for the pusher on the one hand, and avoids the abnormal noise caused by the relative shaking of the pusher and the lead screw of the lead screw motor on the other hand, thereby further improving the product quality of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0022] Optionally, the pusher is provided with a positioning hole for accommodating the umbrella tip, and the wall of the positioning hole is provided with an elastic ring.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, after the umbrella is placed in the umbrella cavity, the tip of the umbrella extends into the positioning hole, and the elastic ring is sleeved on the outside of the umbrella tip. This allows the positioning hole and the elastic ring to position and limit the umbrella tip, thereby increasing the stability of the umbrella placed in the umbrella cavity. At the same time, it can also prevent the umbrella tip from shaking relative to the wall of the positioning hole, thus avoiding abnormal noises. This further improves the product quality of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0024] Optionally, the positioning hole includes a first through hole and a second through hole with an inner diameter smaller than the first through hole. The second through hole is located at the end of the first through hole away from the through opening, and the elastic ring is attached to the wall of the second through hole.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, since the inner diameter of the second through hole is smaller than that of the first through hole, and the second through hole is located at the end of the first through hole away from the through opening, when the umbrella tip enters the positioning hole, the wall of the first through hole can guide the umbrella tip. This reduces the difficulty for the umbrella tip to enter the second through hole and increases the smoothness of the umbrella tip entering the positioning hole, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0026] Optionally, a pressure sensor is provided in the first through hole, and the pressure sensor is located on the end wall of the first through hole near the second through hole.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, since a pressure sensor is provided in the first through hole, and the pressure sensor is located on the end wall of the first through hole near the second through hole, when the umbrella is placed in the umbrella cavity, the end of the umbrella body can abut against the pressure sensor, causing the pressure value of the pressure sensor to change. This allows the driving component to drive the transmission component through the pressure value of the pressure sensor. That is, when the pressure value of the pressure sensor is greater than the threshold, the driving component drives the transmission component, causing the transmission component to drive the driven part in a direction away from the through hole, thereby causing the pushing component to move in a direction away from the through hole, so that the depth of the umbrella inserted into the umbrella cavity gradually increases until the umbrella is completely inserted into the umbrella cavity. At this time, the user stops pressing the umbrella, the pressure value of the pressure sensor decreases and is less than the threshold, and then the driving component stops driving the transmission component, thus completing the placement of the umbrella into the umbrella cavity.

[0028] In summary, when the umbrella is placed in the umbrella compartment, the pusher can adaptively adjust its position according to the length of the umbrella, so that after the umbrella is fully placed in the compartment, the end of the umbrella is exactly in the opening. This allows the pusher to move a shorter distance when the umbrella is removed, so that at least part of the umbrella can extend out of the compartment through the opening, further reducing the user's waiting time, improving the efficiency of umbrella retrieval, and ultimately enhancing the user experience.

[0029] This application also provides a vehicle to improve the user experience.

[0030] A vehicle including the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device as described above.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, since the vehicle in this application uses the aforementioned vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device, the driving range of the pushing member can be increased by increasing the length of the transmission member. On the one hand, this allows the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device to accommodate umbrellas of various lengths, thereby increasing the flexibility of the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device. On the other hand, it also ensures that the umbrella placed in the umbrella cavity can be moved at least partially to the outside of the umbrella cavity through the opening under the pushing action of the pushing member, so as to facilitate the user to take out the umbrella placed in the umbrella cavity, thereby improving the user experience.

[0032] 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 drive unit. The housing unit has an umbrella-containing cavity inside, and one end of the housing unit is provided with a passage communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity, and the other end of the housing unit is provided with a communicating groove communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity. The drive unit is located at the end of the housing unit away from the passage, and the drive unit includes a pushing member located in the umbrella-containing cavity, a transmission member located on the side of the housing unit, and a drive member provided in the housing unit. The pushing member is provided with a driven part extending out of the umbrella-containing cavity through the communicating groove, the transmission member is connected to the driven part, and the drive member is used to drive the transmission member. The movement allows the driven part to drive the pushing part to move axially along the housing unit under the action of the transmission component. This increases the driving range of the pushing part by increasing the length of the transmission component. On the one hand, this allows the vehicle umbrella storage device to accommodate umbrellas of various lengths, increasing its flexibility. On the other hand, it ensures that the umbrella placed in the umbrella cavity can be moved at least partially to the outside of the umbrella cavity through the opening under the pushing action of the pushing part, making it easier for the user to take out the umbrella placed in the umbrella cavity, thereby improving the user experience.

[0033] 2. The driving component in this application is a lead screw motor. The lead screw of the lead screw motor constitutes a transmission component, and the lead screw thread of the lead screw motor passes through the driven part. This reduces the manufacturing cost of the vehicle umbrella storage device on the one hand, and ensures the transmission efficiency between the transmission component and the driven part on the other hand, so as to ensure the driving efficiency of the pusher on the umbrella. This shortens the waiting time required for the user to take the umbrella out of the umbrella cavity, and further improves the user experience.

[0034] 3. In this application, a fixed position is provided at the end of the housing unit away from the passage, and the motor of the lead screw motor is installed at the fixed position. This allows for the reasonable use of the space at the end of the housing unit away from the passage, thereby reducing the size of the vehicle umbrella storage device in the axial direction perpendicular to the housing unit. On the one hand, this facilitates the miniaturization of the vehicle umbrella storage device, and on the other hand, it reduces the space requirements of the vehicle umbrella storage device, thus facilitating its installation.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 12 A vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device is disclosed, comprising a housing unit 1 and a drive unit 2. The housing unit 1 has an umbrella-containing cavity inside, and one end of the housing unit 1 is provided with a passage 111 communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity, and the other end of the housing unit 1 is provided with a connecting groove 121 communicating with the umbrella-containing cavity. The drive unit 2 is located at the end of the housing unit 1 away from the passage 111, and the drive unit 2 includes a pusher 21 located in the umbrella-containing cavity, a transmission member 22 located on the side of the housing unit 1, and a drive member 23 provided in the housing unit 1. The pusher 21 is provided with a driven part 211 extending out of the umbrella-containing cavity through the connecting groove 121. The transmission member 22 is connected to the driven part 211. The drive member 23 is used to drive the transmission member 22 to move, so that the driven part 211 drives the pusher 21 to move along the axial direction of the housing unit 1 under the action of the transmission member 22.

[0043] It is understood that the through port 111 is located at one end of the housing unit 1, and the connecting groove 121 extends along the axial direction of the housing unit 1; the umbrella 5 includes an umbrella body, an umbrella tip located at one end of the umbrella body, and an umbrella handle located at the other end of the umbrella body. When the umbrella 5 is placed in the umbrella cavity, the umbrella tip of the umbrella 5 first enters the umbrella cavity through the through port 111, so that the end of the umbrella handle away from the umbrella tip is located at the through port 111.

[0044] When the umbrella 5 placed in the umbrella cavity is taken out, the drive member 23 is activated so that the drive member 23 drives the transmission member 22. Then, the driven part 211 drives the pusher 21 to move along the axial direction of the housing unit 1 toward the end where the through-hole 111 is located under the action of the transmission member 22. During the movement of the pusher 21, the pusher 21 can apply a thrust to the umbrella 5 toward the end where the through-hole 111 is located, so that the umbrella 5 moves toward the end where the through-hole 111 is located under the action of the pusher block. Thus, at least part of the umbrella 5 extends to the outside of the umbrella cavity through the through-hole 111, so as to facilitate the removal of the umbrella 5.

[0045] In this application, the driving member 23 drives the pushing member 21 through the transmission member 22 and the driven part 211. In turn, the driving range of the pushing member 21 can be increased by increasing the length of the transmission member 22. On the one hand, this allows the vehicle umbrella storage device to accommodate umbrellas 5 of various lengths, thereby increasing the flexibility of the vehicle umbrella storage device. On the other hand, it also ensures that the umbrella 5 placed in the umbrella cavity can be moved at least partially to the outside of the umbrella cavity through the opening 111 under the pushing action of the pushing member 21, so as to facilitate the user to take out the umbrella 5 placed in the umbrella cavity, thereby improving the user experience.

[0046] Furthermore, compared to existing solutions, it no longer relies on the elastic force of the spring to drive the umbrella 5, thus ensuring the stability of driving the umbrella 5 and avoiding the situation where the umbrella 5 cannot be removed due to jamming between the spring and the umbrella 5. This ensures the stability of the vehicle umbrella storage device during operation and further improves the user experience.

[0047] Since the connecting groove 121 is located on the side of the housing unit 1, the driven part 211 extends to the outside of the umbrella cavity through the connecting groove 121. The transmission member 22 is located on the side of the housing unit 1 and connected to the driven part 211. This allows for the reasonable use of the side space of the housing unit 1, thereby maximizing the length of the housing unit 1 and thus maximizing the length of the umbrella cavity. This allows for the placement of more types of umbrellas 5 in the umbrella cavity, further improving the flexibility of the vehicle umbrella storage device and enhancing the user experience.

[0048] In existing technologies that use springs to drive umbrellas 5, longer springs are required to elastically drive umbrellas 5 of different lengths. While longer springs can elastically drive shorter umbrellas 5, they increase the distance the umbrella 5 needs to overcome the spring's elastic force, making it more difficult to place longer umbrellas 5 into the umbrella holder, thus affecting the user experience. The solution in this application, however, equips the vehicle umbrella storage device with a longer transmission component 22 at the factory, increasing the range of motion of the pusher 21. This ensures that the pusher 21 can drive umbrellas 5 of various lengths without increasing the force required to place the umbrella 5 into the umbrella holder. Therefore, the solution in this application improves the user experience.

[0049] Preferably, the housing unit 1 has a connecting groove 121 on both sides, and the pusher 21 has a driven part 211 on both sides. The driven part 211 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the connecting groove 121. Each driven part 211 is slidably connected to its corresponding connecting groove 121 to increase the sliding engagement points between the pusher 21 and the housing unit 1, thereby increasing the stability of the pusher 21 when it moves along the axial direction of the housing unit 1, so as to ensure the smoothness of the pusher 21 when driving the umbrella 5.

[0050] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the driven part 211. Preferably, the driven part 211 is a block-shaped structure provided on the side of the pusher 21, and the driven part 211 and the pusher 21 are integrally formed to increase the connection stability between the driven part 211 and the pusher 21. In other embodiments, the driven part 211 may also be other structures that are fixedly connected to the pusher 21 by means of adhesive, screws, etc.

[0051] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the driving component 23 and the transmission component 22. Preferably, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The driving component 23 is a lead screw motor, the lead screw of the lead screw motor constitutes the transmission component 22, and the lead screw thread of the lead screw motor passes through the driven part 211.

[0052] It is understood that the lead screw motor includes a motor and a lead screw coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The axial direction of the lead screw is parallel to the axial direction of the housing unit 1. The driven part 211 is provided with a threaded hole, and the lead screw is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the driven part 211.

[0053] When the umbrella 5 is removed from the umbrella cavity, the lead screw motor is started to rotate the lead screw of the lead screw motor. At the same time, the lead screw of the lead screw motor rotates relative to the driven part 211. Since the lead screw of the lead screw motor is threaded through the driven part 211, the driven part 211 drives the pusher 21 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw. This causes the pusher 21 to apply a thrust to the umbrella 5 toward the end where the opening 111 is located, so that the umbrella 5 moves toward the end where the opening 111 is located. Finally, at least a part of the umbrella 5 extends out of the umbrella cavity through the opening 111. Then the user can remove the umbrella 5 from the umbrella cavity.

[0054] In this application, by setting the driving component 23 as a lead screw motor, the lead screw of the lead screw motor constitutes the transmission component 22, and the lead screw thread of the lead screw motor passes through the driven part 211, the production and manufacturing cost of the vehicle umbrella storage device is reduced on the one hand, and the transmission efficiency between the transmission component 22 and the driven part 211 is guaranteed on the other hand, so as to ensure the driving efficiency of the pusher 21 on the umbrella 5, thereby shortening the waiting time required for the user to take the umbrella 5 out of the umbrella cavity, and further improving the user experience.

[0055] This application does not specify the installation location of the lead screw motor; preferably, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The end of the housing unit 1 away from the port 111 is provided with a fixing position 122, and the motor of the lead screw motor is installed in the fixing position 122.

[0056] Since a fixing position 122 is provided at the end of the housing unit 1 away from the passage 111, the motor of the lead screw motor is installed at the fixing position 122. This allows for the reasonable use of the space at the end of the housing unit 1 away from the passage 111, thereby reducing the size of the vehicle umbrella storage device in the axial direction perpendicular to the housing unit 1. On the one hand, this facilitates the miniaturization of the vehicle umbrella storage device, and on the other hand, it reduces the space requirements of the vehicle umbrella storage device, thus facilitating its installation.

[0057] This application does not specifically limit the formation of the fixed position 122. Preferably, the end of the housing unit 1 away from the through port 111 is provided with a rib structure, and the fixed position 122 is formed inside the rib structure to increase the stability of the lead screw of the lead screw motor installed in the fixed position 122.

[0058] Preferably, the motor of the lead screw motor is fixedly connected to the fixed position 122 by screws to further increase the stability of the lead screw motor.

[0059] In other embodiments, the fixing position 122 may also be formed by a hole structure located at one end of the housing unit 1 away from the through port 111.

[0060] In other embodiments, the motor of the lead screw motor may also be located on the side of the housing unit 1 to reduce the length of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing unit 1 has a support part 123 on its side, the lead screw of the lead screw motor is rotatably connected to the support part 123, and the driven part 211 is located between the support parts 123.

[0062] It is understandable that there are two support parts 123 spaced apart, and the driven part 211 is located between the two support parts 123. Both support parts 123 are provided with hole structures, and the lead screw of the lead screw motor passes through the hole structures of the two support parts 123 so that the lead screw of the lead screw motor can rotate relative to the two support parts 123.

[0063] Since the housing unit 1 has a support part 123 on its side, the lead screw of the lead screw motor is rotatably connected to the support part 123, and the driven part 211 is located between the support parts 123, the support part 123 can be used to support the lead screw of the lead screw motor to increase the stability of the lead screw, thereby ensuring the stability of the threaded connection between the lead screw and the driven part 211. On the other hand, the support part 123 can be used to limit the driven part 211 to prevent the driven part 211 from moving excessively and separating from the lead screw of the lead screw motor, thereby increasing the connection stability between the driven part 211 and the lead screw, so as to ensure the working stability of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0064] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the support part 123. Preferably, the support part 123 is a block structure located on the side of the housing unit 1, and the support part 123 is integrally formed with the housing unit 1 to increase the connection stability between the support part 123 and the housing unit 1, thereby increasing the support effect of the support part 123 on the lead screw of the lead screw motor. At the same time, it reduces the number of parts required to be assembled when assembling the vehicle umbrella storage device, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the vehicle umbrella storage device. In other embodiments, the support part 123 can also be other structures that are fixedly connected to the side of the housing unit 1 by means of adhesive, screws, etc.

[0065] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A buffer portion 125 is provided on the side of the support portion 123 facing the driven portion 211, and the driven portion 211 can contact the support portion 123 through the buffer portion 125.

[0066] Since the support part 123 has a buffer part 125 on the side facing the driven part 211, after the driven part 211 moves to the position of the support part 123 under the action of the lead screw motor, the driven part 211 can contact the support part 123 through the buffer part 125. On the one hand, this can reduce the impact of the driven part 211 on the support part 123, so as to ensure the connection stability between the support part 123 and the housing unit 1, thereby ensuring the support effect of the support part 123 on the lead screw. On the other hand, it can also avoid the abnormal noise caused by the direct contact between the driven part 211 and the support part 123, thereby improving the quality of the vehicle umbrella storage device and further improving the user experience.

[0067] This application does not specifically limit the structure and material of the buffer portion 125. Preferably, the buffer portion 125 is a block structure made of nylon material to ensure the buffering effect of the buffer portion 125 on the driven portion 211. In other embodiments, the buffer portion 125 can also be made of other structures made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone.

[0068] This application does not specifically limit the connection method between the buffer portion 125 and the support portion 123. Preferably, the buffer portion 125 has a plug-in post on the side opposite to the driven portion 211, and the buffer portion 125 has a plug-in hole. The plug-in post and the plug-in hole are interference-fitted, so that the buffer portion 125 is connected to the support portion 123 by means of interference fit. In other embodiments, the buffer portion 125 can also be connected to the support portion 123 by other means such as adhesive.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 An elastic part 124 is provided in the umbrella cavity, and the elastic part 124 is located on the side of the pusher 21 away from the passage 111.

[0070] It is understood that the end of the housing unit 1 away from the passage 111 is closed, one end of the elastic part 124 abuts against the end wall of the housing unit 1 away from the passage 111, and the other end of the elastic part 124 abuts against the pusher 21.

[0071] Because an elastic part 124 is provided in the umbrella cavity, and the elastic part 124 is located on the side of the pusher 21 away from the passage 111, the elastic part 124 can apply an elastic force to the pusher 21 toward the end where the passage 111 is located, so that the driven part 211 keeps in close contact with the lead screw of the lead screw motor under the action of the elastic part 124. This ensures the driving efficiency of the lead screw motor to the pusher 21 on the one hand, and avoids the abnormal noise caused by the relative shaking of the pusher 21 and the lead screw of the lead screw motor on the other hand, thereby further improving the product quality of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0072] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic part 124. Preferably, the elastic part 124 is a spring, which is coaxially arranged with the housing unit 1 to ensure that the elastic force applied by the elastic part 124 to the pusher 21 is sufficient, thereby further ensuring that the lead screw of the lead screw motor can maintain a tight fit with the driven part 211. In other embodiments, the elastic part 124 can also be an elastic sleeve, elastic sheet, or other elastic structures.

[0073] In other embodiments, the driving member 23 may also be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric actuator, or other structure with a retractable piston rod, the piston rod being arranged parallel to the axial direction of the housing unit 1, and the piston rod constituting a transmission member 22, which is fixedly connected to the driven part 211 to drive the pushing member 21 by means of the extension and retraction of the piston rod; or, the transmission member 22 may be a rod-shaped structure coaxially fixedly connected to the piston rod of the driving member 23.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 5The pusher 21 has a positioning hole 212 for accommodating the umbrella tip inside, and the wall of the positioning hole 212 is provided with an elastic ring 216.

[0075] After the umbrella 5 is placed in the umbrella cavity, the tip of the umbrella 5 extends into the positioning hole 212, and the elastic ring 216 is sleeved on the outside of the tip of the umbrella 5. This allows the positioning hole 212 and the elastic ring 216 to position and limit the tip of the umbrella 5, thereby increasing the stability of the umbrella 5 placed in the umbrella cavity. It also prevents the tip of the umbrella 5 from shaking relative to the wall of the positioning hole 212, thus avoiding abnormal noise and further improving the product quality of the vehicle umbrella 5 storage device.

[0076] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 The positioning hole 212 includes a first through hole 213 and a second through hole 214 with an inner diameter smaller than that of the first through hole 213. The second through hole 214 is located at the end of the first through hole 213 away from the through opening 111, and the elastic ring 216 is disposed on the hole wall of the second through hole 214.

[0077] It is understandable that the inner diameter of the first through hole 213 is larger than the inner diameter of the second through hole 214. The first through hole 213 and the second through hole 214 are coaxially arranged and connected. After the umbrella 5 is placed in the umbrella cavity, the tip of the umbrella passes through the second through hole 214, and the end of the umbrella body near the tip is located in the first through hole 213.

[0078] Since the inner diameter of the second through hole 214 is smaller than that of the first through hole 213, and the second through hole 214 is located at the end of the first through hole 213 away from the through opening 111, when the tip of the umbrella 5 enters the positioning hole 212, the hole wall of the first through hole 213 can guide the tip of the umbrella 5. This reduces the difficulty for the tip of the umbrella 5 to enter the second through hole 214 and increases the smoothness of the tip of the umbrella 5 entering the positioning hole 212, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0079] This application does not specify the material of the elastic ring 216. Preferably, the elastic ring 216 is made of elastic non-metallic materials such as rubber and silicone, so that after the umbrella tip is inserted into the second through hole 214, the elastic ring 216 can abut against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella tip under the action of its own elastic force, thereby increasing the stability of the umbrella 5.

[0080] This application does not specifically limit the connection method between the elastic ring 216 and the second through hole 214. Preferably, the wall of the second through hole 214 is provided with an annular groove, and at least a portion of the elastic ring 216 is located in the annular groove. This utilizes the groove wall to block and limit the elastic ring 216, thereby achieving the connection between the elastic ring 216 and the wall of the second through hole 214. Simultaneously, it prevents the elastic ring 216 from detaching from the second through hole 214 under the action of the umbrella tip. In other embodiments, the elastic ring 216 can also be connected to the pusher 21 using a two-color injection molding process to ensure the connection stability between the elastic ring 216 and the wall of the second through hole 214.

[0081] In other embodiments, the elastic ring 216 may also be made of an elastic metallic material.

[0082] The better one is to refer to Figure 3 Multiple elastic rings 216 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the second through hole 214 to increase the contact points between the hole wall of the second through hole 214 and the umbrella tip, thereby further increasing the stability of the umbrella tip and thus further increasing the stability of the umbrella 5.

[0083] Preferably, the inner diameter of the end of the first through hole 213 away from the second through hole 214 is gradually increased in the direction away from the second through hole 214, so as to further facilitate the insertion of the umbrella tip into the second through hole 214 through the first through hole 213; the inner diameter of the end of the second through hole 214 near the first through hole 213 is gradually increased in the direction near the first through hole 213, so as to further facilitate the insertion of the umbrella tip into the second through hole 214.

[0084] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 A pressure sensor 215 is provided in the first through hole 213, and the pressure sensor 215 is located on the end wall of the first through hole 213 near the second through hole 214.

[0085] Understandably, the pressure sensor 215 is annular so that the umbrella tip can pass through the pressure sensor 215 into the second through hole 214.

[0086] Since a pressure sensor 215 is provided in the first through hole 213, and the pressure sensor 215 is located on the end wall of the first through hole 213 near the second through hole 214, when the umbrella 5 is placed in the umbrella cavity, the end of the umbrella body can abut against the pressure sensor 215, causing the pressure value of the pressure sensor 215 to change. This allows the driving member 23 to drive the transmission member 22 through the pressure value of the pressure sensor 215. That is, when the pressure value of the pressure sensor 215 is greater than the threshold, the driving member 23 drives the transmission member 22, so that the transmission member 22 drives the driven part 211 in a direction away from the through hole 111, thereby causing the pushing member 21 to move in a direction away from the through hole 111, so that the depth of the umbrella 5 inserted into the umbrella cavity gradually increases until the umbrella 5 is completely inserted into the umbrella cavity. At this time, the user stops pressing the umbrella 5, the pressure value of the pressure sensor 215 decreases and is less than the threshold, and then the driving member 23 stops driving the transmission member 22, thus completing the placement of the umbrella 5 into the umbrella cavity.

[0087] In summary, when the umbrella 5 is placed in the umbrella cavity, the pusher 21 can adaptively adjust its position according to the length of the umbrella 5, so that after the umbrella 5 is fully placed in the umbrella cavity, the end of the umbrella 5 is exactly in the passage 111. This allows the pusher 21 to move a shorter distance when the umbrella 5 is taken out, so that at least part of the umbrella 5 can extend out of the umbrella cavity through the passage 111. This further shortens the user's waiting time, thereby improving the user's umbrella retrieval efficiency and further enhancing the user's experience.

[0088] Preferably, the wall of the first through hole 213 is provided with a connecting notch so that the wiring harness of the pressure sensor 215 can extend to the outside of the first through hole 213 through the connecting notch, thereby making the wiring harness of the pressure sensor 215 avoid the umbrella body, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the wiring harness of the pressure sensor 215 and facilitate the insertion of the umbrella tip into the second through hole 214.

[0089] This application does not specifically limit the structure of shell unit 1; preferably, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2The 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. The drive unit 2 is disposed in the second housing 12 to facilitate the manufacturing of the housing unit 1.

[0090] 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.

[0091] 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.

[0092] In other embodiments, the housing unit 1 may also be composed of an integrally formed housing structure.

[0093] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figures 6 to 12 The housing unit 1 has an extension port 131 on its side that communicates with the umbrella cavity. The vehicle umbrella storage device also includes a locking unit, which includes a locking component 3 and a power component 4. The locking component 3 has a locking part 311 that can extend into the umbrella cavity through the extension port 131. The locking component 3 has a locking position in which the locking part 311 extends at least partially into the umbrella cavity and an unlocking position in which it is completely disengaged from the umbrella cavity. The power component 4 is used to drive the locking component 3 to move between the locking position and the unlocking position.

[0094] Understandably, the locking part 311 can move relative to the housing unit 1 so that the locking part 311 can be inserted into the umbrella cavity through the inlet 131 and pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5 located in the umbrella cavity under the action of the power component 4, or completely detached from the umbrella cavity to separate from the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5.

[0095] 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 power component 4 is activated so that the power component 4 drives the locking component 3, thereby causing the locking component 3 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position. The locking part 311 extends into the umbrella cavity through the extension port 131, thereby causing the locking part 311 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.

[0096] When the locking assembly 3 is in the locked position, at least a portion of the locking part 311 extends into the umbrella cavity, thereby locking the umbrella 5 located in the umbrella cavity by pressing the locking part 311 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 vehicle umbrella storage device and greatly improving the user experience.

[0097] It should be noted that, depending on the model of the umbrella 5, when the locking component 3 locks the umbrella 5, the locking part 311 can be pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella handle of the umbrella 5, or the locking part 311 can be pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella body of the umbrella 5.

[0098] Since the power component 4 is used to drive the locking component 3 to move between the locked position and the unlocked position, it achieves automatic locking of the umbrella 5 by driving the locking component 3 towards the locked position using the power component 4, and automatic unlocking of the umbrella 5 by driving the locking component 3 towards the unlocked position using the power component 4. Thus, the vehicle umbrella storage device does not require user intervention in locking or unlocking the umbrella 5, thereby improving the automation level of the vehicle umbrella storage device and further enhancing the user experience.

[0099] Meanwhile, when the locking component 3 is in the unlocked position, the locking part 311 completely disengages from the umbrella cavity, thereby enabling the locking part 311 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.

[0100] Preferably, the locking unit is located in the middle housing 13, so that the locking unit can be closer to the middle position in the length direction of the housing unit 1, so that the locking unit can lock umbrellas 5 of various lengths.

[0101] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the locking component 3; preferably, refer to... Figures 7 to 12 The locking assembly 3 includes a first locking arm 31 and a second locking arm 32. The first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 are located on opposite sides of the housing unit 1, and both the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 are provided with a locking part 311.

[0102] 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 311. Each locking part 311 can extend into the umbrella cavity or detach from the umbrella cavity through its corresponding extension port 131.

[0103] Since the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 are located on opposite sides of the housing unit 1, and both the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 are provided with locking parts 311, on the one hand, the locking points of the locking assembly 3 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.

[0104] In other embodiments, the locking assembly 3 includes a locking rod that is slidably connected to the housing unit 1 radially. The power assembly 4 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 inlet 131 under the action of the power assembly 4. The end of the locking rod near the housing unit 1 forms the locking part 311, which simplifies the structural design of the locking assembly 3 and thus reduces the manufacturing cost of the vehicle umbrella storage device. Alternatively, the locking assembly 3 includes an arm body that is hinged to the housing unit 1 at the middle position in the length direction. The locking part 311 is located on the side of the arm body opposite to the inlet 131. The power assembly 4 is located at the end of the arm body away from the locking part 311 and is used to drive the arm body to rotate, so that when the power assembly 4 drives the arm body, the locking part 311 moves toward the side where the umbrella cavity is located or toward the side away from the umbrella cavity under the action of the arm body.

[0105] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the power assembly 4; preferably, refer to... Figures 7 to 12 The power assembly 4 includes a power element 41 and an elastic element 42. The elastic element 42 is used to drive the locking assembly 3 to move toward the locking position. When the power element 41 is energized, it drives the locking assembly 3 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 42 and move toward the unlocking position.

[0106] Understandably, when the power component 41 is energized, the power component 41 moves the locking component 3 toward the unlock position so that the locking component 3 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 42 and moves toward the unlock position; and when the power component 41 is de-energized, the power component 41 resets so that the elastic element 42 gradually recovers its deformation and drives the locking component 3 toward the locking position.

[0107] When placing the umbrella 5 into the umbrella cavity, power is first supplied to the power unit 41 so that the power unit 41 drives the locking component 3, thereby causing the locking component 3 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 42 and move towards the unlocked position, so that the locking component 3 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 power unit 41 so that the power unit 41 stops driving the locking component 3 and resets, so that the locking component 3 moves towards the locking position under the action of the elastic member 42, and finally the locking part 311 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5, so as to lock the umbrella 5 in the umbrella cavity.

[0108] Since the elastic element 42 in this application is used to drive the locking component 3 to move toward the locked position, when the power element 41 is energized, it drives the locking component 3 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 42 and move toward the unlocked position. Thus, on the one hand, the power element 41 can be energized to drive the locking component 3 to the unlocked position, and when the power element 41 is de-energized, the elastic force of the elastic element 42 can be used to drive the locking component 3 to the unlocked position, thereby realizing the driving of the locking component 3 between the locked position and the unlocked position. On the other hand, the elastic force of the elastic element 42 can also be used to automatically adjust the clamping force between the locking part 311 and the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5. This not only avoids the situation where the clamping force between the locking part 311 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 311 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.

[0109] Meanwhile, since the elastic element 42 drives the locking component 3 to move toward the locked position, and the power element 41 drives the locking component 3 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 42 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 power element 41 to be energized or de-energized, thereby simplifying the control logic of the power element 4, ensuring the working stability of the vehicle umbrella storage device, and reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0110] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic element 42 and the power element 41. Preferably, refer to... Figures 7 to 12The locking assembly 3 includes a first locking arm 31 and a second locking arm 32 disposed opposite to each other. The elastic element 42 is an elastic torsion disc disposed on the housing unit 1. Both the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 are connected to the elastic torsion disc. The power element 41 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 31 or the second locking arm 32 toward the unlocking position.

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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 31 and the second locking arm 32 toward the unlocking position. This causes one of the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 to move toward the unlocking position. Since both the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 are connected to the elastic torsion disc, when one of the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 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 part 124 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 31 and the second locking arm 32 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 part 124 inside the elastic torsion disc gradually recovers its deformation, so that the elastic torsion disc rotates in the opposite direction. Under the action of the elastic torsion disc, the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 move toward the locking position, eventually causing the locking part 311 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.

[0113] 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 31 or the second locking arm 32, the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32 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 31 and the second locking arm 32 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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 31 and the second locking arm 32, 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.

[0116] This application does not specify the connection method between the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 and the elastic torsion disc. Preferably, refer to Figures 7 to 12 Both the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 have a connecting section 312, the connecting section 312 is provided with a connecting groove 315, and the elastic torsion disc is provided with a connecting part 421 extending into the connecting groove 315.

[0117] It is understood that the connecting section 312 and the elastic torsion disk are located on the same side of the housing unit 1. There are two connecting parts 421, which are respectively provided in the connecting grooves 315 on the two connecting sections 312, and each connecting part 421 is located in its corresponding connecting groove 315. The first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 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 315 extends along a third direction perpendicular to the first direction, which is perpendicular to the second direction. The connecting part 421 is provided on the disk body of the elastic torsion disk so that when the disk body rotates, the connecting part 421 can rotate relative to the connecting groove 315, and at the same time, the connecting part 421 can also slide relative to the connecting groove 315 along the third direction to ensure the smooth rotation of the disk body.

[0118] Since both the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 have a connecting section 312, and the connecting section 312 is provided with a connecting groove 315, and the elastic torsion disc is provided with a connecting part 421 extending into the connecting groove 315, the elastic torsion disc can rotate under the action of the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32. On the other hand, the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 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 31 and the second locking arm 32, thereby simplifying the structural design of the vehicle umbrella storage device and thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0119] Preferably, the two connecting parts 421 are located on opposite sides of the rotation axis of the disc body, so that the connecting section 312 of the first locking arm 31 and the connecting section 312 of the second locking arm 32 can avoid each other, and when the disc body of the elastic torsion disc rotates, the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 can move towards each other or towards each other.

[0120] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the connecting part 421. Preferably, the connecting part 421 is a sphere fixedly connected to the elastic torsion disk body to improve the smoothness of the relative movement between the connecting part 421 and the connecting groove 315. In other embodiments, the connecting part 421 can also be other structures, such as a cylinder.

[0121] Furthermore, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 9 The housing unit 1 has a shield 14 covering the outside of the connecting section 312. The shield 14 has a guide groove 141, and the connecting section 312 is located in the guide groove 141.

[0122] It is understood that the shield 14 is fixedly connected to the intermediate housing 13, and the connecting section 312 is located between the intermediate housing 13 and the shield 14.

[0123] Since the housing unit 1 has a shield 14 covering the outside of the connecting section 312, the shield 14 can be used to shield the connecting section 312 to prevent the connecting section 312 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 14 can also be used to limit the connecting section 312 to increase the stability of the connecting section 312.

[0124] Furthermore, since the shield 14 has a guide groove 141 and the connecting section 312 is located in the guide groove 141, the connecting section 312 can be positioned and limited by the groove wall of the guide groove 141 to increase the stability of the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32. On the other hand, when the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 move, the connecting section 312 can also be guided by the groove wall of the guide groove 141 to ensure that the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 move in the set direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 during movement.

[0125] Furthermore, refer to Figure 9 The guide groove 141 has a plurality of protrusions 142 spaced apart along the moving direction of the connecting section 312, and the guide groove 141 contacts the connecting section 312 through the protrusions 142.

[0126] It is understood that the two opposite walls of the guide groove 141 are provided with a plurality of protrusions 142 at intervals along the moving direction of the connecting section 312, so that the two opposite sides of the connecting section 312 respectively contact the groove wall of the guide groove 141 through the protrusions 142.

[0127] Since the guide groove 141 has multiple protrusions 142 spaced apart along the moving direction of the connecting section 312, the guide groove 141 contacts the connecting section 312 through the protrusions 142. This reduces the contact area between the connecting section 312 and the guide groove 141, thereby reducing the friction between the connecting section 312 and the guide groove 141, which reduces the driving load of the push rod motor and the elastic torsion disc on the locking assembly 3. On the other hand, it ensures the guiding effect of the guide groove 141 on the connecting section 312, so as to ensure the movement stability of the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32.

[0128] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the protrusion 142. Preferably, the protrusion 142 is a protrusion structure with a semi-circular cross-sectional shape, so as to further reduce the contact area between the connecting section 312 and the groove wall of the guide groove 141, thereby further reducing the driving load on the push rod motor and the elastic torsion disc. In other embodiments, the protrusion 142 can also be other structures, such as a block structure.

[0129] In other embodiments, both the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 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 31 and the second locking arm 32 are connected to the elastic torsion disk through the hinge arms, so that the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 can be moved synchronously by using the elastic torsion disk and driven towards the locking position.

[0130] Furthermore, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32 is provided with an extension section 313, and the push rod of the push rod motor drives the locking assembly 3 to move toward the unlocking position through the extension section 313.

[0131] It is understood that the extension section 313 is fixedly connected to the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32, and the push rod of the push rod motor is located on the side of the extension section 313 closer to the housing unit 1.

[0132] Since the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32 is provided with an extension section 313, the push rod of the push rod motor drives the locking assembly 3 to move toward the unlocking position through the extension section 313. This enables the push rod motor to drive the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32, and ensures the driving stability of the power component 41 on the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32.

[0133] Furthermore, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The housing unit 1 is provided with a guide rib 15 located on the side of the extension section 313, and the guide rib 15 is located between the push rod motor and the locking part 311.

[0134] It is understandable that there are two guide ribs 15, which are located on opposite sides of the extension section 313.

[0135] Since the housing unit 1 is provided with a guide rib 15 located on the side of the extension section 313, the extension section 313 can be limited by the cooperation of the guide rib 15 and the extension section 313 to increase the stability of the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32. On the other hand, the extension section 313 can be guided by the guide rib 15 to increase the stability of the movement of the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32.

[0136] Furthermore, since the guide rib 15 is located between the push rod motor and the locking part 311, it can make reasonable use of the space between the push rod motor and the locking part 311 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 15 as close as possible to the locking part 311 to increase the stability of the locking part 311.

[0137] Furthermore, refer to Figure 10 The extension section 313 is provided with a connecting part 316 on the side near the shell unit 1, and the connecting part 316 contacts the guide rib 15.

[0138] It is understood that the connecting part 316 is fixedly connected to the extension section 313, and the connecting part 316 is located between the two guide ribs 15.

[0139] Since the extension section 313 is provided with a connecting part 316 on the side close to the housing unit 1, and the connecting part 316 contacts the guide rib 15, it can increase the contact area between the guide rib 15 and the extension section 313 to increase the guiding effect of the guide rib 15 on the extension section 313. On the other hand, it can also increase the guiding stroke of the guide rib 15 on the connecting section 312 to further increase the guiding effect of the guide rib 15 on the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32. At the same time, the connecting part 316 can also increase the structural strength of the extension section 313 to ensure the service life of the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32.

[0140] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the connecting portion 316. Preferably, the connecting portion 316 is a block-shaped structure provided on the extension section 313, and the side of the connecting portion 316 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 316 can be used to abut against the outer peripheral surface of the housing unit 1 to limit the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 316 can also be other structures provided on the extension section 313, such as a columnar structure.

[0141] Preferably, the push rod of the push rod motor is used to drive the first locking arm 31, that is, the first locking arm 31 is provided with an extension section 313, and the push rod of the push rod motor drives the first locking arm 31 toward the unlocking position through the extension section 313, while the second locking arm 32 moves toward the unlocking position along with the first locking arm 31 under the action of the elastic torsion disc.

[0142] In other embodiments, the elastic element 42 can also be a tension spring, with one end of the tension spring attached to the first locking arm 31 and the other end attached to the second locking arm 32. The power element 41 is a double-rod cylinder, with one piston rod of the double-rod cylinder positioned opposite to the first locking arm 31 and used to drive the first locking arm 31 to move downward to the unlock position, and the other piston rod of the double-rod cylinder positioned opposite to the second locking arm 32 and used to drive the second locking arm 32 to move toward the unlock position. When the piston rod of the double-rod cylinder extends, the double-rod cylinder drives the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 toward 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 31 and the second locking arm 32 to move toward 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 31 and the second locking arm 32 move toward the locking position under the tension of the tension spring.

[0143] In other embodiments, the power assembly 4 may also be a telescopic drive structure such as an electric actuator, a cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. The piston rod of the electric actuator, cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the locking part 311 to drive the locking part 311 to move between the unlocked position and the locked position. Alternatively, the power assembly 4 may include a motor and a lead screw coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The lead screw has external threads that are opposite to each other, extending from the middle position along its own length direction. The two ends of the lead screw are respectively threaded through the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32, so that the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 move toward each other or away from each other under the rotation of the lead screw.

[0144] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the locking part 311; preferably, refer to... Figure 8 The locking part 311 is elastic and has a deformation notch 314 and contact sections located on both sides of the deformation notch 314. The contact sections are used to contact the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5.

[0145] It is understandable that the locking part 311 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.

[0146] Because the locking part 311 is elastic, the locking part 311 has a deformation notch 314 and contact sections located on both sides of the deformation notch 314. The contact sections are used to contact the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5. Thus, on the one hand, when the locking part 311 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the umbrella 5 under the action of the power component 4, the locking part 311 can deform to increase the contact area between the locking part 311 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 311 so that when the locking part 311 is in the locked position, it can lock more types of umbrellas 5, thereby further increasing the flexibility of the vehicle umbrella storage device.

[0147] This application does not specifically limit the method of fixing the locking part 311 to the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32. Preferably, each locking part 311 is fixedly connected to its corresponding first locking arm 31 or second locking arm 32 by screws, so as to increase the connection stability between the locking part 311 and the first locking arm 31 and the second locking arm 32 and to facilitate the assembly of the locking part 311. In other embodiments, the locking part 311 can also be fixedly connected to its corresponding first locking arm 31 or second locking arm 32 by adhesive.

[0148] 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 311 and the umbrella 5, and thus increasing the locking stability of the umbrella 5; or, the locking part 311 is made of plastic material so that the locking part 311 can be fixedly connected to the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32 by integral molding, thereby increasing the connection stability between the locking part 311 and the first locking arm 31 or the second locking arm 32.

[0149] This application also discloses a vehicle that includes the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device as described above.

[0150] Since the vehicle in this application adopts the aforementioned vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device, the driving range of the pusher 21 can be increased by increasing the length of the transmission member 22. On the one hand, this allows the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device to accommodate umbrellas 5 of various lengths, thereby increasing the flexibility of the vehicle-mounted umbrella storage device. On the other hand, it also ensures that the umbrella 5 placed in the umbrella cavity can be moved at least partially to the outside of the umbrella cavity through the opening 111 under the pushing action of the pusher 21, so as to facilitate the user to take out the umbrella 5 placed in the umbrella cavity, thereby improving the user experience.

[0151] 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.

[0152] For any parts not mentioned in this application, existing technologies may be used or referenced.

[0153] 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.

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.
