[0032] In the description of the present invention, "multiple" means two or more, and "several" means one or more.
[0033] The following describes a center console box 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the central console box 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a console box housing 100 and a heating wire 200 .
[0035] A cavity is formed inside the armrest box shell 100. The armrest box shell 100 has a first side wall and a second side wall opposite to each other, and the first side wall and the second side wall both extend in the front-to-back direction. The heating wire 200 is accommodated in the cavity and its two ends are suitable for being electrically connected to the wiring harness of the entire vehicle. The heating wire 200 is attached to and extends on the first side wall and the second side wall. The heating wire 200 extends back and forth in a continuous "S-shape" along the front-to-back direction on the first side wall, and extends back and forth in a continuous "S-shape" along the front-to-back direction on the second side wall. The heating wire 200 of the first side wall and the heating wire 200 of the second side wall are connected at the rear side of the armrest box shell 100.
[0036] According to the central armrest box 1 of the embodiment of the utility model, the "S-shaped" arrangement of the heating wire 200 increases the contact area with the air, thereby increasing the heating surface. This means that the heat can be more evenly distributed over a larger area, speeding up the heating speed of the central armrest box 1. Compared with the traditional straight-line arrangement, the "S-shaped" arrangement can increase the temperature inside the central armrest box 1 more quickly, providing a faster heating effect. In addition, the "S-shaped" arrangement design is also conducive to heat preservation. Due to the increase in the length of the heating wire 200, the heat can be more effectively transferred to various parts of the central armrest box 1, reducing temperature loss. This helps to maintain the temperature inside the central armrest box 1 and provide a better heat preservation effect, especially when used in a cold environment.
[0037] Therefore, the central armrest box 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model has the advantages of increasing the heating area and more uniform heat distribution.
[0038] In other embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the heating wire 200 extends back and forth in a continuous "S-shape" on the first side wall and the second side wall, and the bend can be an arc structure. Compared with the heating wire with a right-angle structure at the bend, this arrangement can make the assembly of the resistor easier and more convenient. The top of the "S-shaped" arrangement is designed to be an arc shape, which can better adapt to the shape and space of the central armrest box 1 shell, reduce the difficulties and obstacles in the resistor assembly process, avoid the problem of the resistor being stuck or unable to pass through, and improve the assembly efficiency and convenience of operation.
[0039] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, both ends of the heating wire 200 are located in front of the first side wall, one end of the heating wire 200 extends out of the first side wall and is connected to an ambient temperature sensor outside the armrest box housing 100, and the heating wire 200 is connected to an armrest box temperature sensor 10 inside the armrest box housing 100. The ambient temperature sensor may be labeled t1, and the armrest box temperature sensor may be labeled t2. By connecting the ambient temperature sensor to one end of the heating wire 200, the ambient temperature outside the central armrest box 1 can be monitored in real time. Such a structure allows the user to understand the temperature of the surrounding environment and decide whether to turn on the electric heating function according to the external temperature, thereby improving the intelligence and comfort of use.
[0040] The armrest box temperature sensor 10 connected to the heating wire 200 can monitor the temperature inside the central armrest box 1 in real time. By monitoring the temperature inside the central armrest box 1, the system can automatically adjust the heating power of the heating wire 200 according to the set temperature range, keep the temperature inside the central armrest box 1 within the comfortable range set by the user, and provide more personalized temperature control services.
[0041] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the central armrest box 200 also includes a heat preservation regulating resistor and a heat preservation switch. The heat preservation regulating resistor is connected in series with the electric heating wire 200. The heat preservation switch is connected in parallel with the heat preservation regulating resistor. When the heat preservation switch is closed, the electric heating wire 200 is heated, and when the heat preservation switch is opened, the current passes through the heat preservation regulating resistor to stop heating the electric heating wire.
[0042] Among them, the label of the insulation adjustment resistor can be R2, and the label of the insulation switch can be K1. After the ambient temperature sensor t1 and the armrest box temperature sensor t2 are connected in series in the electrical circuit, they are connected in parallel with the insulation adjustment resistor R2. At the same time, a variable resistor R1 can be added to the electrical circuit. The variable resistor R1 is connected in series with the ambient temperature sensor t1 and the armrest box temperature sensor t2. By adjusting the resistance value of the variable resistor R1, the safety of the entire circuit is increased. For example, when the vehicle is driving in a cold area, the ambient temperature sensor t1 detects that the ambient temperature of the cab is lower than 0°C, and the central armrest box 1 automatically adjusts the resistance value of the variable resistor R1 to achieve the heating of the central armrest box 1. When the armrest box temperature sensor t2 detects that the shield temperature reaches 28°C±2°C, the insulation switch K1 of the central armrest box 1 is automatically disconnected and the insulation function of the insulation adjustment resistor R2 is triggered.
[0043] In short, the heat preservation regulating resistor and the heat preservation switch provide heat preservation regulating function, energy saving control, safety protection and good user experience for the central armrest box 1. Such a structure makes the heating function of the central armrest box 1 more intelligent, convenient and safe, providing a comfortable driving experience for the vehicle passengers.
[0044] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the armrest box housing 100 includes a control part 110 and an armrest part 120. The control part 110 is located at the front of the armrest box housing 100, and the control part 110 is configured with a shifting hole 111, and the shifting hole 111 is suitable for the shifting mechanism to pass through. The armrest part 120 is located behind the control part 110, and the top of the armrest part 120 is higher than the control part 110. The top of the armrest part 120 is configured with a handbrake hole 121, and the handbrake hole 121 is suitable for the handbrake mechanism to pass through. And the distance between the shifting hole 111 and the handbrake hole 121 should be controlled at least 110mm to avoid the problem of interference between the shifting mechanism and the braking mechanism during the gear shifting process of the vehicle.
[0045] The shift hole 111 is provided through the shift mechanism so that the driver can conveniently perform the shift operation through the control part of the central armrest box 1, which improves the convenience and comfort of operation. The armrest part 120 is located behind the control part 110, and the top of the armrest part 120 is higher than the control part 110. The top is structured with a handbrake hole 121, which is suitable for the handbrake mechanism to pass through, so that the central armrest box 1 can not only be used as a position for shifting operations, but also as an armrest for placing arms, providing additional comfortable support, conforming to the design concept of ergonomics, and improving the driver's car experience.
[0046] At the same time, by integrating the shift hole 111 and the handbrake hole 121 into the design of the armrest box shell, the space is effectively utilized, so that the central armrest box 1 can realize the shift and handbrake operations while having a simpler and more elegant appearance, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.
[0047] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the top of the armrest portion 120 is constructed with a receiving groove 122. The receiving groove 122 can be located behind the handbrake through hole 121. Through the structure of the receiving groove 122, the scattered storage items can be avoided during driving, so that the items can be placed in the central armrest box 1 in an orderly manner, which improves the neatness and aesthetics of the internal space and reduces the interference of sundries on the driver's driving. In addition, the structure of the receiving groove 122 makes full use of the top space of the central armrest box 1, making the originally relatively single structure of the central armrest box 1 more multifunctional, thereby improving the practicality and functionality of the central armrest box 1.
[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the accommodating groove 122 includes a cup groove 101 and a mobile phone charging groove 102. The cup groove 101 and the mobile phone charging groove 102 are arranged at intervals along the front-to-back direction. The heating wire 200 is located at the bottom of both sides of the cup groove 101 to heat the cup groove 101. The depth of the cup groove 101 is greater than the depth of the mobile phone charging groove 102. The heating wire 200 can heat the cup groove 101, while the charging groove 102 is located at the top, and the heat will not be transferred to the charging groove 102. When the central armrest box 1 is heated, the mobile phone in the mobile phone charging groove 102 can be charged. When the central armrest box 1 is in a heat preservation state, the cup in the cup groove 101 can be kept warm.
[0049] By arranging the water cup slot 101 and the mobile phone charging slot 102 in a spaced manner along the front-to-back direction, the areas with different functions are clearly separated, avoiding interference caused by mixing water cups and mobile phones, so that users can choose the appropriate slot to use according to their needs. At the same time, the electric heating wire 200 arranged at the bottom of the water cup slot 101 can heat the water cup slot 101, maintain the temperature of the liquid in the cup, effectively extend the insulation time of the liquid, and provide a more comfortable drinking experience, especially suitable for cold weather or when long-term insulation is required. The structure of the mobile phone charging slot 102 can facilitate the driver or passenger to charge during driving, avoid the situation where the mobile phone is out of power, and ensure smooth communication.
[0050] In some specific embodiments of the utility model, a fastener is provided on the top of the armrest box shell 100, and the fastener passes through the cavity and is suitable for fixing to the floor of the cab. The fastener passes through the top of the armrest box shell 100 and is fixed to the floor of the cab, which can effectively fix the position of the central armrest box 1 in the vehicle compartment, prevent movement or shaking due to bumps during driving, maintain the stability of the central armrest box 1, avoid inconvenience or safety hazards caused by the movement of the central armrest box 1 to the driver or passengers, and improve driving safety.
[0051] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the armrest box housing 100 is provided with a plug cover 130 on the top of the fastener to cover the fastener. The plug cover 130 can perfectly cover the fastener, making the overall appearance more beautiful and neat, and avoiding the fastener being directly exposed to the outside, giving people an untidy or rough feeling. At the same time, the plug cover 130 can also effectively protect the fastener, prevent foreign objects or dust from entering around the fastener, avoid the problem of weakening or damage, and also help to protect the surface of the fastener from damage.
[0052] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the blocking cover 130 includes a top cover 131 and a buckle 132. The top cover 131 is sealed on the top of the fastener. The buckles 132 are connected to both sides of the bottom of the top cover, and the buckles 132 on both sides are gradually inclined downward in a direction away from each other. The inner wall of the armrest box shell 100 is configured with a slot, and the buckle 132 is engaged with the slot. For example, the top cover 131 is cylindrical with a diameter of 22mm and a height of 2mm. The lower end of the top cover 131 has two buckles 132 with a width of 7mm, a thickness of 1.5mm, and a height of 9.3mm. The buckles 132 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top cover 131, and the buckles 132 are designed in an eight-shaped shape.
[0053] The buckle 132 is connected to both sides of the bottom of the top cover 131, and gradually tilts downward in a direction away from each other. When the cover 131 needs to be opened, just press lightly on the top of the top cover 131, and the buckle 132 will automatically loosen according to the tilted direction, which is convenient and quick. At the same time, the inclined direction structure of the buckle 132 allows the buckle 132 to be tightly combined with the inner wall slot when closed, ensuring the stability and sealing of the central console box 1 cover when closed, and avoiding loosening or cracking.
