DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0026] The invention is hereinafter described in detail with reference to an embodiment and the drawings, to better illustrate the technical problem the invention is designed to solve, as well as the technical solution and beneficial effects. It should be understood that the embodiment described hereinafter is illustrative and non-restrictive in every respect.

[0027] An embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 9. A vehicle-mounted storage box 100 comprises boxes 1; the boxes 1 are provided with push-pull drawers 2; both sides of the drawer 2 are provided with a sliding mechanism 22 that is used to slide the drawer 2; the mechanism 22 comprises guide pulley seats 221, guide pulleys 222, and a guide track 223; the guide pulleys 222 are installed on the guide pulley seats 221, and are rotatable; the guide track 223 is located at one side of the drawer 2; the guide pulley seats 221 are fixed in the box 1 at the positions corresponding to the location of the guide track 223; the guide pulleys 222 are embedded in the guide track 223 and can roll on the guide track 223; there is a ringed groove 2221 carved at the outer edge of the guide pulley 222, and there are raised lines 2231 on the guide track 223, which can be set in the ringed groove 2221; the shape of the ringed groove 2221 is well matched with that of the raised line 2231.

[0028] In this embodiment, the cross sections of both the ringed groove 2221 and raised line 2231 are half-round. the structural design of the half-round raised line 2231 at the contact area between the guide track 223 and guide pulleys 222, as well as the overall structural design realize tight joint between the guide pulleys 222 and guide track 223, and no deformation of the guide track 223 when bearing loads, and thus ensure the drawer 2 would slide freely even when carrying high load and produce no excessive clearance. The mechanism can also prevent external impurities from entering the storage box, bring high dust, sand, water, and weather resistance, and keep the guide track 223 unblocked. The guide pulleys 222 used in this embodiment are customized and consistent with the standards of export to Germany. The maximum load capacity of a guide pulley is 30 kg, and each drawer is provided with 10-12 guide pulleys 222. So, the drawer 2 can bear a load of 300 kg without causing any deformation to the guide track 223. The mechanism ensures the drawer 2 would slide freely even when carrying high load and there wouldn't be any abnormal sounds or noise during operation. By contrast, balls and slide track structures used in other vehicle-mounted storage boxes in the market cannot achieve the above effect, and what's more, the slide track would be slack or even blocked with the accumulation of dust.

[0029] The said vehicle-mounted storage box 100 further includes the side plates 13 at the sides of the drawer 2; the guide pulley seat 221 includes two symmetrically arranged installation parts 2211, which are respectively fixed on both sides of the side plate 13 and division plate 101; the side plate 13 at the position corresponding to the said installation parts 2211 is well matched with the installation parts 2211 in shape, guaranteeing the installation accuracy and service strength of the guide track 223 bearing & sliding system.

[0030] Further, the drawer 2 is provided with a locking device 21; the boxes 1 are provided with fixed blocks 11; the locking device 21 comprises a rotary drive part 212 and a hook 213 that can be driven by the said rotary drive part 212; when the drawer is closed, the hook 213 and fixed block 211 would be buckled.

[0031] The said boxes 1 are provided with push-pull drawers 2, so that users can pick and store articles without having to remove the articles on the boxes 1 and lift its top covers 12, and thus save a lot of time and labor. Meanwhile, the drawer 2 is provided with a locking device 21, and users can rotate the rotary drive part 212 of the locking device 21 to lock or open the drawer 2 and thus prevent the drawer 2 from sliding out of the vehicle-mounted storage box 100 due to car body vibration.

[0032] Specifically, the said locking device 21 further includes a shield 214, a hinge pin 215, two helical torsion springs 216, drive blocks 217, and a drive link 218 that can be driven by the rotary drive part 212; the shield 214 is placed above the rotary drive part 212 and used to cover the part; the hinge pin 215 is placed through the rotary drive part 212, with its two ends out of the rotary drive part 212; the helical torsion springs 216 are placed at both the ends of the hinge pin 215 by putting them through the hinge pin 215, with the two ends of each spring extending in two opposite directions normal to the hinge pin 215, one end pressing against the bottom surface of the shield 214, and the other end buckling against the bottom surface of the rotary drive part 212; the drive link 218 is placed through the shield 214 and is rotatable; the rotary drive part 212 includes a clasp part 2121 and a drive part 2122 that protrudes from the side of the rotary drive part 212; one end of the drive block 217 is placed on the drive part 2122 by putting it through the drive part, and the other end is fixed on the drive link 218; the hook 213 is fixed on the drive link 218. The vehicle-mounted storage box 100 further includes a division plate 101; the fixed block 11 is fixed on the division plate 101, which divides the inner space of the boxes 1 into at least two storage spaces 102; every one of the storage spaces 102 is provided with a drawer 2.

[0033] Once pulling the clasp part 2121, one end of the helical torsion spring 216 would be pressed down, and the drive part 2122 would turn downwards with the hinge pin 215 as the axis and drive the drive block 217, drive link 218, and the hook 213 to rotate anticlockwise. Then, the hook 213 would escape from the fixed block 11, and you can pull the rotary drive part 212 to pull out the drawer 2. Once releasing the rotary drive part 212, the helical torsion spring 216 would return to normal, and its elastic force would make the drive part 2122 turn upwards with the hinge pin 215 as the axis and then drive the drive block 217, drive link 218, and the hook 213 to rotate clockwise. Then the hook 213 would catch the fixed block 11 and the drawer 2 would be locked tightly. Thus, the mechanism can prevent the drawer 2 from sliding out of the vehicle-mounted storage box 100 due to car body vibration. By contrast, existing vehicle-mounted storage boxes are not provided with the locking device and their covers are prone to getting off the boxes duo to car body vibration for the covers are simply nested on the boxes.

[0034] The above content is only the description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, and not intended to restrict the scope of the invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made in accordance with principles and meaning of the invention shall be included in the protection scope of this patent.
