Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle storage technology, and specifically relates to an automatic vehicle storage box with a mechanical overload protection device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of intelligent and human-centered automobiles, in-vehicle automatic storage boxes have become an important feature for optimizing in-vehicle space utilization and improving driving safety, thanks to their advantages such as automatic opening / closing and hidden storage. They rely on technologies such as sensor sensing, motor drive, and intelligent control to automate and facilitate storage operations, effectively solving the pain points of traditional manual storage devices, such as distracting the driver and the easy tipping of items.

[0003] However, in actual use, existing automatic car storage boxes frequently face the risk of motor overload due to foreign objects getting stuck, becoming a key pain point affecting the reliability and safety of the equipment. When opening or closing the storage box lid, users may inadvertently get small items such as mobile phones, keys, charging cables, and cards caught between the lid and the box body due to operational negligence, or loose debris from inside the vehicle may fall into the transmission mechanism area, obstructing the opening and closing path and causing foreign objects to get stuck. In this situation, the storage box's drive motor will continuously output torque to maintain the opening and closing action, resulting in a severe overload. The motor being in a stalled state for a long time will cause a sudden increase in current and a rapid rise in core temperature, which can easily lead to motor coil burnout, insulation aging, and damage to mechanical components such as broken transmission gears and deformed slide rails, directly shortening the storage box's lifespan. At the same time, stuck foreign objects may be squeezed, deformed, or ejected under the continuous driving force of the motor, damaging items, interfering with driving operations, and even posing safety hazards such as collisions to passengers. Utility Model Content

[0004] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic car storage box with a mechanical overload protection device. It can not only realize the automatic opening and closing function of the storage box lid, but also realize the overload protection function without the need for an additional overload protection device, making it safer and more reliable.

[0005] Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic vehicle storage box with a mechanical overload protection device, comprising: A storage box with an opening at the top; A sliding box cover, which is slidably disposed on the upper part of the storage box body for opening or closing the storage box body, and the bottom of the sliding box cover is provided with an external toothed rack; A drive plate is movably connected to the sliding box cover. The drive plate is provided with an internal rack, and at least one tooth of the internal rack and the external rack meshes with each other. It also includes a geared motor, which is connected to the drive board to provide power to the drive board.

[0006] With the above solution, if a foreign object obstructs the sliding cover, the inner and outer racks will skip teeth, and the motor torque will not be transmitted to the sliding cover. This not only enables the automatic opening and closing of the storage box cover, but also achieves overload protection without the need for an additional overload protection device, making it safer and more reliable.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the sliding box cover has two rows of T-shaped connecting posts along its length, and the drive plate has a set of receiving grooves connected to the T-shaped connecting posts. The receiving grooves and the T-shaped connecting posts can slide relative to each other. The sliding connection between the receiving grooves and the T-shaped connecting posts ensures that the drive plate can slide freely when a tooth skip occurs, and also facilitates the docking and resetting of the inner and outer racks after a tooth skip.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the storage box extends inward to form a flange, and the sliding box cover has sliding grooves on both sides, with the flange located in the sliding grooves and the two being able to slide relative to each other; The upper end of the slide is flush with the outer surface of the storage box on one side and flush with the inner surface of the storage box on the other side.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer rack is provided on both sides of the bottom surface of the sliding box cover, and the outer rack is arranged along the moving direction of the sliding box cover.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive plate is provided with a drive rack along the sliding box cover moving direction, and the drive rack is poweredly connected to the geared motor.

[0011] Furthermore, a cylindrical gear is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the geared motor, and the cylindrical gear meshes with the drive rack.

[0012] Furthermore, a motor bracket is provided on the side of the storage box, and the geared motor is fixed to the side of the storage box through the motor bracket.

[0013] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. The automatic vehicle storage box with mechanical overload protection device described in this utility model has a reasonable and compact overall structure and simple component settings. It not only realizes the automatic opening and closing function of the storage box lid, but also achieves overload protection without the need for an additional overload protection device, making it safer and more reliable. Adopting this solution can further improve the electrification and intelligence level of automobiles, reduce system complexity, improve system reliability, and further save space.
