Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a type of side storage box, and in particular there is a side storage box for locomotives. Prior technology

[0002] In the habitual technique, the storage box consists of a box body and a box lid, which are connected by a rotating arm. One end of the rotating arm is pivoted to the box body, and its other end is fixed to the box cover. When the lid is open, in order to facilitate access to the items in the case, the lid needs to be positioned in the open state to facilitate the user to access the items. A positioning bump is formed on the rotating arm, and a positioning hole is formed in the inner wall of the box corresponding to the rotating arm, which provides a positioning role after the lid is opened. Locating the height of the bump requires the ability to penetrate deep into the positioning hole. However, after repeated use, the positioning bumps will wear with the inner wall of the box, causing the positioning effect to be reduced. Contents of the invention

[0028] Figures 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D illustrate the opening process of a side-mounted storage box according to an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the lid is adapted to rotate relative to the box body between a first position (Figure 5A, closed state), a second position (Figure 5C, 63 degrees open), and a third position (Figure 5D, 70 degrees open). Referring to Figures 5A, 5B, and 5C, as the lid rotates from the first position (Figure 5A, closed state) to the second position (Figure 5C, 63 degrees open), the guide portion 73 slides along the first track. In one embodiment, as the lid rotates from the first position to the second position (refer to Figure 5B), the guide portion 73 pushes the arcuate rib 12, the second elastic element 32 is compressed, and provides the second elastic force to the second slider 2.

[0029] Referring to Figure 5C, in one embodiment, when the lid is in the second position (Figure 5C, open 63 degrees), the guide portion 73 is stopped by the stop portion 21 and abuts against the limiting portion 11. The guide portion 73 is also limited by the limiting portion 11. At this time, the second elastic element 32 is compressed and provides the second elastic force to the second slider 2. In this state, the lid is positioned in the open state.

[0030] Referring to Figures 5C and 5D, in one embodiment, during the rotation of the lid from the second position to the third position, the second elastic force pushes the second slider 2 and the first slider 1 back to their original positions, causing the guide portion 73 to disengage from the limiting portion 11. When the lid reaches the third position (Figure 5D, 70 degrees open), the guide portion 73 disengages from the limiting portion 11. In this state, the lid's positioning is released, allowing it to close downwards.

Specifically, in one embodiment, as the lid rotates from the third position to the first position, the guide portion 73 pushes the arcuate rib 12, and the first elastic element 31 is compressed, providing the first elastic force to the first slider 1. Thus, when the lid reaches the first position (Figure 5A, closed state), the first slider 1 is pushed back to its original position by the first elastic element 31.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present invention, the opening angles described above, such as 63 degrees, 70 degrees, etc., are merely examples, and the above disclosure does not limit the present invention.

[0033] In embodiments of the present invention, the orientation limiting mechanism provides support for the rotating arm, thereby allowing the lid to be positioned in the open state when it is open, facilitating user access to items. Compared to conventional technology, the orientation limiting mechanism and the guide portion of the rotating arm in the embodiments of the present invention have a stronger structure and will not be damaged by wear during prolonged use, significantly improving product lifespan and reliability.
