Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a bumper for a glove box of a vehicle,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bumper for a glove box of a vehicle, and more particularly, to a bumper for a glove box of a vehicle which can absorb a shock generated between a cover of a glove box and a lower panel when the glove box is closed, To a bumper for a glove box of a vehicle which can reduce noise generated when the bumper is brought into contact with the bumper.

In general, an instrument panel in which a gauge device, an operation switch, audio, and the like are installed in the front of the vehicle, and a glove box for storing simple accessories used in an automobile interior is installed on one side of the instrument panel, And is installed to be openable and closable.

The cover of the glove box is coupled to the lower panel through hinges at both sides of the lower portion of the cover so as to be rotatably installed.

Accordingly, the cover of the glove box is opened and closed with respect to the lower panel constituting the instrument panel while being pivoted on the basis of the hinge pin at the lower end thereof, and the rim thereof is brought into contact with the lower panel.

At this time, since a noise is generated due to the collision between the cover of the glove box and the lower panel, a rubber bumper is placed at the edge of the glove box to prevent noise from being generated by the buffering action.

However, in the past, since the buffering force of the rubber bumper is weak, the overlap of the rubber bumper is greater than the design due to the external force such as vehicle vibration, so that the cover of the glove box collides with the lower panel, When the thickness of the rubber bumper is increased, there is a problem that the resistance becomes strong with an increase in the overlapped amount, causing a closure failure.

Therefore, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2015-0032111 (hereinafter referred to as " the prior art ") discloses a technique for eliminating noise caused by an impact on a cover of a glove box and a low panel And a bumper having an effect of improving the closing force is proposed.

1, the bumper 20 for a vehicle glove box according to the prior art is mounted on a lower panel 10 (not shown) to prevent noise between the cover 1 of the glove box and the lower panel 10 mounted on the vehicle. The bumper 20 is inserted and fixed to a through portion formed in the lower panel 10, and the constricted portion of the middle of the bumper is inserted and fixed in the through portion.

The bumper 20 for a vehicle glove box according to the related art includes a hook portion 20a to be inserted and fixed to the lower panel 10 and a hook portion 20a which is engaged with the hook portion 20a and is in contact with the cover 1 And a cushioning portion 20b substantially in the form of a truncated cone.

However, the bumper and its assembling structure according to the prior art having such a structure have the following problems.

In other words, the trend of recent vehicles is not only a functional aspect but also a more sophisticated and quick change in terms of design. Vehicle design has a curvature in design from the inside and outside, This structure has been introduced.

Therefore, the bumper mounting surface on which the bumper of the lower panel is mounted is a surface (see FIG. 3) having a curvature not a flat surface, unlike the flat mounting surface (see reference numeral 11 in FIG. 2) The bumper having the truncated cone shaped buffer according to the prior art has a drawback that the bumper can not keep up with the design curvature and presents various problems.

In other words, when the user opens the glove box, the bumper is exposed to the outside. The truncated conical bumper follows the flow of the surface shape of the mounting surface of the lower panel (i.e., the shape of the curvature direction surface) There is a problem that the design flow is interrupted.

Since the bumper according to the prior art is basically designed on the assumption that it is installed on a flat surface, it can not cope with the design curvature of the bumper mounting surface of the lower panel, Which is disadvantageous for application to a panel.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8.

3 to 8, the bumper 200 for a vehicle glove box of the present invention is installed in the lower panel 100 to prevent noise between the cover 1 of the glove box and the lower panel 100 A cushioning part 210 which is made of a flexible material and is exposed to the lower panel 100 and is brought into contact with the cover 1 when the glove box is closed and a cushioning part 210 provided below the cushioning part 210, And a hook 230 inserted and fixed to the through hole 100a of the eye panel 100. [

At this time, the buffer part 210 is formed to have a predetermined length along the curvature direction of the bumper mounting surface so as to correspond to the design curvature of the bumper mounting surface of the lower panel 100.

The length L of the cushioning portion 210 is set to be in the range of 2 to 10 times the width W Dimensionally.

More preferably, the length L of the cushioning portion 210 is formed to have a dimension within a range of 3 to 5 times the width W of the cushioning portion 210.

On the other hand, the buffer part 210 is formed such that its central part along the longitudinal direction has the largest thickness and its thickness decreases gradually toward both side edges. 4 to 7, the buffer 210 may be formed at a central portion of the buffer 210 along the longitudinal direction of the buffer 210. In other words, The upper surface of the buffer part 210 may be inclined along the longitudinal direction of the buffer part 210. That is, the upper surface of the buffer part 210 may have a mountain shape.

A circular arc shaped groove 210a is provided at the center along the longitudinal direction of the buffer part 210. The hook 230 provided below the buffer part 210 is formed on both sides of the circular groove 210a Respectively. 5 to 7, the groove 210a is formed on the bottom surface of the buffer part 210, and the hook 230 is provided on both sides of the groove 210a.

In addition, the area between the hooks 230 of the buffer part 210 and the area outside the hook 230 have an empty cavity shape (see FIG. 6).

The recess 210a is provided in the buffer part 210 and the inner part is hollow when the bumper is assembled to the lower panel 100 so that the bumper advantageously follows the curved surface flow of the lower panel.

An upper portion of the hook 230 is formed with a hook groove 230 for fixing the hook 230 by an interference action of an edge portion of the through hole 100a of the lower panel 100 when the lower panel 100 is assembled, 230a.

The operation of the bumper 200 of the present invention thus configured is as follows.

The bumper 200 according to the present invention is a flexible material provided on the lower panel 100 to prevent noise between the cover 1 of the glove box and the lower panel 100, And is fixed on the lower panel 100 as the hook 230 is inserted into the through hole 100a formed in the mounting surface.

The bumper 200 of the present invention is formed to have a larger length L than the width W of the cushioning portion 210 so that the design curvature of the bumper mounting surface of the lower panel 100 It can cope effectively.

The bumper 200 according to the present invention is formed such that the thickness of the central region of the bumper 210 in the longitudinal direction is the thickest, and the thickness of the bumper 200 becomes gradually thinner toward both side edges.

7, when the bumper 200 is viewed from the side, the buffer part 210 along the longitudinal direction has an approximately smooth mountain shape. When the cover 1 is closed, the bumper 200 Overlap only by a predetermined distance (for example, 3 mm) only in the middle region of the buffer part 210, so that the resistance applied to the cover 1 can be minimized.

In other words, when the thickness of the center portion is maintained to the both side edges, the bumper 200 does not become thinner toward both side edges of the buffer portion 210 of the bumper 200, The resistance acting on the cover 1 becomes very large. In this case, the cover 1 is not easily closed and inconvenience is caused that a very large force is required to be applied when the cover 1 is closed.

Therefore, the bumper 200 of the present invention is configured such that overlap occurs only in the central region of the cushion 210, thereby minimizing the resistance received from the bumper 200 when the cover 1 of the glove box is closed. ) Can be closed.

Since the bumper 200 of the present invention is provided with the arcuate groove 210a on the lower side of the central portion along the longitudinal direction of the buffer part 210, It is possible to deal more flexibly with the change of

The bumper 200 of the present invention is formed such that the length L is larger than the width W of the buffer part 210 and the groove 210a is formed in the buffer part 210, The bumper 200 is positioned at a position corresponding to the design curvature of the bumper mounting surface of the lower panel 100 when the bumper 200 is installed in the lower panel 100. [ It can cope effectively.

That is, since the bumper 200 for the glove box of the vehicle is made of a flexible material and the formation after the bumper assembly follows the design curvature of the lower panel 100, the present invention eliminates the phenomenon that the flexible flow of design is cut off from the design point of view Thus increasing the degree of freedom for the application position of the bumper 200. In other words, unlike the prior art, there is no limitation in determining the bumper application position depending on the curvature of the bumper mounting surface of the lower panel 100, the size of the curvature, and the like.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It is obvious to them.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the hook 230 is provided on both sides of the arcuate groove 210a when the hook provided below the buffer 210 is shown. However, But is not limited thereto. That is, the hooks may be provided below the buffer 210 in a state in which the hooks are not divided into two sides (i.e., one hook connected thereto).

Therefore, the above-described embodiments are to be considered as illustrative rather than restrictive, and thus the present invention is not limited to the above description, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
