[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an automotive glove box.

[0024] The automotive glove box includes a frame 100, two pivots 200, a box body 300, two limit posts 400, and a damper 500.

[0025] The frame 100 is used to install in front of the passenger seat of the instrument panel assembly. The rear side of the frame 100 has a receiving cavity, which is open at the rear. The front side of the receiving cavity has a through opening. The housing 300 is installed in the receiving cavity. After the housing 300 is removed from the receiving cavity, the air conditioning filter inside the instrument panel assembly can be replaced through the receiving cavity and the opening.

[0026] The bottom of the frame 100 is provided with a clearance groove 110, which extends downward through the frame 100. The front side wall of the clearance groove 110 is provided with two first hinge seats 120, which are located on the left and right sides of the clearance groove 110 respectively. Each first hinge seat 120 is provided with a first hinge hole 121 extending in the left-right direction. The front side wall of the clearance groove 110 is also provided with a first positioning seat 140, which is located between the two first hinge seats 120. The first positioning seat 140 is provided with a positioning groove 141 extending in the up-down direction.

[0027] The frame 100 is provided with limiting grooves 130 on the left and right sides respectively. The two limiting grooves 130 are symmetrically arranged. Each limiting groove 130 extends in an arc shape along the front-back direction. The center of the arc of each limiting groove 130 coincides with the axis of the first hinge seat 120.

[0028] Each rotating shaft 200 is arranged in the left-right direction. Each rotating shaft 200 has an elastic buckle 210 and a stop block 220 at both ends. The stop block 220 has a handle 230 extending outward along the axis on the side facing away from the elastic buckle 210.

[0029] The elastic buckle 210 is provided with multiple spring pieces, which are distributed circumferentially along the rotating shaft 200. The multiple spring pieces protrude outward from the outer side wall of the rotating shaft 200. After squeezing the spring pieces, the spring pieces are retracted towards the axis of the rotating shaft 200 so that the outer diameter of the elastic buckle 210 is smaller than that of the rotating shaft 200. After releasing the pressure of squeezing the spring pieces, the spring pieces can return to their original shape.

[0030] The diameter of the stop 220 is larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 200. The handle 230 includes a connecting rod and a handle. The connecting rod connects the stop 220 and the handle. The diameter of the connecting rod is smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft 200. The diameter of the handle is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod between the handle and the stop 220 forms an annular groove structure that facilitates finger positioning. This allows the assembler to pinch the connecting rod with their fingers and press it against the handle or the stop 220, and pull the rotating shaft 200 with their fingers for assembly and disassembly.

[0031] The diameter of the first hinge hole 121 matches the diameter of the rotating shaft 200, and the two rotating shafts 200 are respectively inserted into the two first hinge holes 121.

[0032] The housing 300 is movably disposed in the receiving cavity of the frame 100. The bottom of the housing 300 is provided with two second hinge seats 310, which are distributed at intervals from left to right. Each second hinge seat 310 is provided with a second hinge hole 311 that runs through in the left-right direction. The middle of each second hinge seat 310 is provided with a mating groove 312 that runs through in the up-down direction. The positions of the mating grooves 312 of the two second hinge seats 310 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the two first hinge seats 120. The width of the mating groove 312 in the left-right direction corresponds to the width of the first hinge seat 120 in the left-right direction.

[0033] The bottom of the housing 300 is also provided with a second positioning seat 340. The second positioning seat 340 is located between two second hinge seats 310. The position of the second positioning seat 340 corresponds to the position of the positioning groove 141 of the first positioning seat 140. The width of the second positioning seat 340 in the left and right direction corresponds to the width of the positioning groove 141 in the left and right direction.

[0034] The housing 300 is inserted into the receiving cavity of the frame 100 from the rear, and the mating grooves 312 of the two second hinge seats 310 at the bottom of the housing 300 respectively mate with the two first hinge seats 120 of the clearance groove 110. The second positioning seat 340 at the bottom of the housing 300 is inserted into the positioning groove 141 of the first positioning seat 140 of the clearance groove 110, so that the second hinge hole 311 of the second hinge seat 310 is aligned with the first hinge hole 121 of the first hinge seat 120.

[0035] With the elastic latch 210 of the first pivot 200 facing to the left, the first pivot 200 moves to the left from between the second hinge seat 310 and the second positioning seat 340 on the left side, so that the first pivot 200 is inserted from right to left into the second hinge hole 311 of the second hinge seat 310 on the left side and the first hinge hole 121 of the first hinge seat 120 on the left side. The first hinge hole 121 and the second hinge hole 311 squeeze the elastic latch 210 to reduce its outer diameter, so that the first pivot 200 can move smoothly to the left until the elastic latch 210 of the first pivot 200 abuts against the left side of the second hinge seat 310 on the left side and the stop 220 of the first pivot 200 abuts against the right side of the second hinge seat 310 on the left side, thereby restricting the degree of freedom of the first pivot 200 in the left and right directions.

[0036] With the elastic latch 210 of the second pivot 200 facing to the right, the second pivot 200 moves to the right from between the second hinge seat 310 and the second positioning seat 340 on the right side, so that the second pivot 200 is inserted from left to right into the second hinge hole 311 of the second hinge seat 310 on the right side and the first hinge hole 121 of the first hinge seat 120 on the right side. The first hinge hole 121 and the second hinge hole 311 squeeze the elastic latch 210 to reduce its outer diameter, so that the second pivot 200 can move smoothly to the right. The elastic latch 210 of the second pivot 200 abuts against the right side of the second hinge seat 310 on the right side, and the stop 220 of the second pivot 200 abuts against the left side of the second hinge seat 310 on the right side, thereby restricting the degree of freedom of the second pivot 200 in the left and right directions.

[0037] When it is necessary to disassemble the two rotating shafts 200, since the handles 230 of both rotating shafts 200 are facing the first positioning seat 140, the handles 230 can be squeezed by hand and moved towards the first positioning seat 140, so that the rotating shafts 200 are disengaged from the first hinge seat 120 and the second hinge seat 310, making the disassembly and installation of the two rotating shafts 200 more convenient and avoiding the frame 100 or the housing 300 from obstructing the movement of the rotating shafts 200.

[0038] The box 300 is provided with a storage cavity 301, and the top of the storage cavity 301 is open.

[0039] The left and right sides of the housing 300 are respectively provided with mounting holes 320 that run through in the left and right directions. The mounting holes 320 connect to the storage cavity 301. The two mounting holes 320 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides. The inner side wall of each mounting hole 320 is provided with two snap-fit ​​grooves 321 that run through in the left and right directions. The two snap-fit ​​grooves 321 are symmetrically arranged vertically with the axis of the mounting hole 320 as the center. The outer end face of each mounting hole 320 is provided with two anti-rotation blocks. The two anti-rotation blocks are symmetrically arranged front and back with the axis of the mounting hole 320 as the center.

[0040] The shape of each limiting post 400 matches the shape of the mounting hole 320. Each limiting post 400 has two snap-fit ​​blocks 410 on its side wall. The two snap-fit ​​blocks 410 are symmetrically arranged with the axis of the limiting post 400 as the center. Each limiting post 400 has a knob 420 at its end. The diameter of the knob 420 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 320.

[0041] Two limiting posts 400 are correspondingly installed in two mounting holes 320, and the knob 420 is located on the end face of the mounting hole 320 facing the storage cavity 301. After the two locking blocks 410 of the limiting posts 400 are passed through the two locking grooves 321 and protrude from the end face of the mounting hole 320 facing outward, the two limiting posts 400 are respectively inserted into the limiting grooves 130 on the left and right sides of the frame 100. Rotating the knob 420 causes the two locking blocks 410 to rotate around the axis of the mounting hole 320, so that the two locking blocks 410 respectively abut against the two anti-rotation blocks, and the two The snap-fit ​​block 410 abuts against the outer end face of the mounting hole 320, and the knob 420 abuts against the inner side wall of the storage cavity 301, so that the limiting post 400 is fixed in the mounting hole 320 and the limiting post 400 moves in the limiting groove 130, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the box 300. The top of the box 300 rotates backward around the rotating shaft 200 so that the top of the storage cavity 301 extends out of the receiving cavity of the frame 100, or the top of the box 300 rotates forward around the rotating shaft 200 so that the storage cavity 301 is stored in the receiving cavity of the frame 100.

[0042] The right side wall of the housing 300 is provided with an insertion hole 330 and a snap-fit ​​hole 331 arranged side by side, with the diameter of the insertion hole 330 being larger than the diameter of the snap-fit ​​hole 331.

[0043] The damper 500 includes a mounting part 510 and a sliding part 520. The mounting part 510 is mounted on the right side wall of the frame 100 and rotates about an axis extending in the left-right direction. The sliding part 520 is slidably connected to the mounting part 510 and can slide relative to the mounting part 510. A snap-fit ​​post 521 is provided at the end of the sliding part 520. An annular groove is provided on the outer side wall of the snap-fit ​​post 521. The annular groove surrounds the circumference of the snap-fit ​​post 521. The diameter of the snap-fit ​​post 521 is smaller than the diameter of the insertion hole 330 and larger than the diameter of the snap-fit ​​hole 331. The diameter of the annular groove matches the diameter of the snap-fit ​​hole 331.

[0044] After the snap-fit ​​post 521 passes through the insertion hole 330, it moves downward, causing the annular groove to fall into the snap-fit ​​hole 331. The left and right sides of the annular groove abut against the left and right end faces of the snap-fit ​​hole 331, thereby causing the sliding part 520 to snap against the right side wall of the housing 300.

[0045] Rotate the top of the housing 300 backward to expose the storage cavity 301. Rotate the knob 420 of the limiting post 400 from the storage cavity 301 so that the locking block 410 of the limiting post 400 is aligned with the locking groove 321 of the mounting hole 320. Then, remove the limiting post 400 from the mounting hole on the side wall of the housing 300, allowing the limiting post 400 to separate from the limiting groove 130. Next, rotate the top of the housing 300 backward to expose the sliding part 520 of the damper 500. Move the sliding part 520 upward to move the locking post 521 from the locking hole 331 into the insertion hole 330. Then, pull the sliding part 521 to the right to separate the locking post 521 from the housing 300. Finally, rotate the top of the housing 300 forward to close the housing 300 into the receiving cavity of the frame 100, exposing the clearance groove 110. Remove the two rotating shafts 200 from the clearance groove 110 at the bottom of the frame 100, and separate the rotating shafts 200 from the first hinge hole 121 of the first hinge seat 120 and the second hinge hole 311 of the second hinge seat 310. Separate the rotating shafts 200, the first hinge seat 120 of the frame 100, and the second hinge seat 310 of the housing 300. Then the housing 300 can be removed from the frame 100 fixed to the dashboard, exposing the air conditioning filter in front of the frame 100, and the housing 300 will not obstruct the replacement of the air conditioning filter.
