Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of armrest box damping brackets, specifically, to an adjustable damping bracket for an automotive armrest box. Background Technology

[0002] The car armrest box is a central storage device located between the front seats. It usually functions as an armrest, providing elbow support for drivers and passengers, while also featuring internal storage space for small items such as mobile phones and documents. Its outer shell is often made of plastic or leather, and some models also include USB ports, cup holders, or cooling / heating functions.

[0003] Most car models have a spring mechanism inside the armrest box. When a button or switch is pressed, the spring releases tension, pushing the lid to pop up. To slow down the popping speed and increase safety, a damping structure is designed on the armrest box. However, the existing armrest box damping structure does not have the function of adjusting the damping effect, and the opening speed of the lid cannot be controlled, which cannot meet the needs of some users. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable damping bracket for a car armrest box, comprising:

[0024] Armrest box connector 1, with a first mounting hole 11 on the side and through holes 12 on both the front and back of the armrest box connector 1.

[0025] Rotary opening mechanism 2 is provided on armrest box connector 1. Rotary opening mechanism 2 is used to make the armrest box and the cover rotatedly connected.

[0026] Damping mechanism 3 is installed on the rotary opening mechanism 2 and is used to control the opening speed of the cover.

[0027] The damping mechanism 3 includes an adjustable damping assembly and a limiting assembly. The adjustable damping assembly includes a support arm 31, with a support block 311 fixedly mounted at the end of the support arm 31. A threaded rod 312 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the support block 311. A support pad 313 is rotatably connected to the end of the threaded rod 312. A connecting rod 314 is fixedly mounted on the side of the support pad 313 away from the threaded rod 312. A damping block 315 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 314 away from the support pad 313. A sliding rod 316 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support pad 313. The sliding rod 316 is slidably connected to the support block 311. The threaded rod 312 is located away from the support block 313. A handle 317 is fixedly connected to the end of the pad 313. The support block 311 is fixed to the first rotating disk 21 by means of the support arm 31. The damping block 315 is located in the inner cavity of the through groove 22. If the damping effect of this structure needs to be adjusted, the handle 317 is manually rotated during maintenance, which drives the threaded rod 312 to rotate inside the support block 311. At this time, the slide rod 316 will limit the support pad 313 to translate relative to the support block 311. Through the transmission of the connecting rod 314, the force of the damping block 315 and the armrest box connector 1 can be adjusted, thus realizing the function of adjusting the damping effect of this structure.

[0028] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting component includes a circular component 32, which is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating handle 317. An elastic component 323 is fixedly connected to the side of the circular component 32 away from the rotating handle 317. A circular pad 322 is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic component 323 away from the circular component 32. A rubber pad 324 is fixedly connected to the side of the circular pad 322 away from the elastic component 323. The sliding wing 321 is used to limit the translation of the circular pad 322 relative to the circular component 32. Through the initial elastic force of the elastic component 323, the circular pad 322 can be pushed with the rotating handle 317 as a reference, so that the rubber pad 324 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the second rotating disk 23. This realizes the function of attaching and fixing the rotating handle 317 with the help of the second rotating disk 23, increasing the stability of the rotating handle 317 when idle, reducing the probability of the rotating handle 317 loosening due to vehicle vibration, and ensuring the damping effect after the structure is adjusted.

[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, a sliding wing 321 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular part 32. The end of the sliding wing 321 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circular pad 322. If the handle 317 needs to be rotated for adjustment, the sliding wing 321 is pulled away from the second rotating disk 23, causing the rubber pad 324 to release from the state of being attached to the second rotating disk 23. Then the handle 317 can be rotated for adjustment. During the process of pulling the sliding wing 321, the elastic element 323 will be axially compressed. After the handle 317 is adjusted, the sliding wing 321 is released, and the elastic force of the elastic element 323 can drive the rubber pad 324 to return to its original position.

[0030] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rotating opening mechanism 2 includes a first rotating disk 21 and a second rotating disk 23. The first rotating disk 21 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of one of the through holes 12. A through groove 22 is provided on the outer wall of the first rotating disk 21. The second rotating disk 23 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the other through hole 12. The support arm 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating disk 21. Through the connection design between the through hole 12 and the first rotating disk 21, and the connection design between the through hole 12 and the second rotating disk 23, the armrest box connector 1 and the cover connecting arm 24 are rotatably connected. They are respectively installed on the armrest box and the cover, so that the cover can be rotatably connected to the armrest box.

[0031] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, cover connecting arms 24 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of rotating disk 21 and rotating disk 23. The side of the cover connecting arm 24 is provided with mounting hole 25. A connecting beam 26 is fixedly connected between adjacent sides of the two cover connecting arms 24. The design of the connecting beam 26 connects the two cover connecting arms 24, increasing the overall stability of the cover connecting arms 24. During installation, the cover connecting arm 24 can be connected to the cover by bolts from mounting hole 25.

[0032] Working principle: During installation, the cover connecting arm 24 is connected to the cover body through the second mounting hole 25 using bolts, and the armrest box connecting piece 1 is connected to the armrest box through the first mounting hole 11 using bolts. When the spring releases tension and the cover opens, the damping block 315 will rub against the armrest box connecting piece 1 to achieve the damping function and prevent the cover from opening too quickly. If the damping effect needs to be adjusted, the sliding wing 321 is pulled away from the second rotating disk 23, causing the rubber pad 324 to release from the state of adhering to the second rotating disk 23. The handle 317 is manually rotated to adjust the force of the damping block 315 adhering to the armrest box connecting piece 1, thus achieving the function of adjusting the damping effect of this structure. After adjustment, the sliding wing 321 is released.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
