Automobile interior hand cover plate

Abstract

This utility model discloses a car interior handrail cover, including a rotating plate hinged to the top of the storage compartment. A connecting plate is slidably mounted on the surface of the rotating plate, and the surface of the connecting plate is detachably covered with a soft fabric. The rotating plate has two symmetrically distributed limiting grooves inside, with a slot between the two limiting grooves, and the slot communicating with the two limiting grooves. Two symmetrically distributed sliders are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, and the sliders are slidably mounted within the limiting grooves. Two mutually movable baffles are provided inside the slot, with both ends of the baffles slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot. In this utility model, by operating the drive assembly, the distance between the two baffles decreases, reducing the degree of compression → reducing friction → reducing the sliding resistance of the sliders. At this time, the driver and passengers can easily push the connecting plate, improving operational convenience (especially suitable for one-handed adjustment scenarios).

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior technology, specifically to an automotive interior hand cover. Background Technology

[0002] The armrest box cover is a core component of the armrest box between the front seats of a car. It mainly serves three purposes: enclosing storage space, providing comfortable support, and ensuring convenient operation. It is a key structure connecting the "practical function" and "driving experience" of the armrest box. Its design must simultaneously meet storage needs, ergonomic support, and in-vehicle operation compatibility.

[0003] Existing technologies utilize a rotating panel on top of the storage compartment in the armrest box, with a movable connecting plate on top of the rotating panel to accommodate the ergonomic needs of different groups. Significant differences in height, arm length, and shoulder width among different groups directly determine the "comfortable support position" when the arm hangs naturally. The movable connecting plate, through linear adjustment (left and right sliding), can cover most body sizes. Traditional structures have fixed and unchangeable sliding resistance (determined by a single parameter such as the material of the friction components, assembly gaps, and spring preload at the factory), which cannot adapt to user needs in different scenarios, leading to inconsistent user experiences. Furthermore, the varying operating force required by different users (e.g., female users and elderly users have weaker strength) results in excessive resistance, making adjustments difficult and requiring forceful pushing and pulling with both hands to move the cover, leading to poor operational convenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automotive interior hand cover, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a car interior hand cover panel, comprising a rotating plate hinged to the top of a storage compartment, a connecting plate slidably disposed on the surface of the rotating plate, a soft covering fabric detachably disposed on the surface of the connecting plate, two symmetrically distributed limiting grooves inside the rotating plate, a slot between the two limiting grooves, the slot communicating with the two limiting grooves, two symmetrically distributed sliders fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, the sliders slidably disposed within the limiting grooves, two mutually movable baffles disposed inside the slot, both ends of the baffles slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot, a driving assembly disposed inside the slot, the driving assembly capable of pushing the baffles to abut against the side wall of the sliders.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a screw that is rotatably inserted into the inner wall of the slot, the screw having two symmetrically distributed opposite threads, two symmetrically distributed nut blocks being threaded onto the screw, the nut blocks being fitted onto the opposite threads at both ends, and connecting rods being rotatably provided on both sides of the nut blocks, the other end of the connecting rods being rotatably connected to the stop bar.

[0009] Preferably, the other end of the screw extends through to the outside of the rotating plate and is fixedly connected to a handwheel, the handwheel having multiple protrusions evenly distributed on it.

[0010] Preferably, both the limiting groove and the slider are inverted T-shaped structures.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting plate has two Velcro loops fixedly connected to its surface, and the soft wrapping fabric has two Velcro hooks fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the soft wrapping fabric is either PU leather or textile fabric.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] This utility model provides a hand cover for automotive interior trim, which has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. In this invention, by operating the drive component, the distance between the two stop bars decreases, reducing the degree of compression → decreasing friction → reducing the sliding resistance of the slider. At this time, the driver or passenger can easily push the connecting plate to achieve forward and backward sliding operation without applying excessive force, improving operational convenience (especially suitable for one-handed adjustment scenarios). Conversely, when the drive component pushes the stop bars away from each other, the degree of compression increases → increasing friction → the slider is "clamped," increasing sliding resistance. This is suitable for male users with greater strength, and even when the vehicle is traveling on bumpy roads, the armrest box cover will not shift due to vibration, ensuring a stable arm support position.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the soft covering fabric is fixedly attached to the soft covering fabric by the cooperation of the hook side and the loop side of the hook and loop, and the soft fabric can be directly removed completely to achieve deep cleaning; light stains: can be hand washed directly with water and neutral detergent, or clean the debris in the gaps with a soft brush; heavy stains: the fabric can be put into the washing machine for gentle washing.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a car interior hand cover, including a rotating plate 2 that is hinged and rotatably mounted on the top of a storage compartment 1. A connecting plate 3 is slidably mounted on the surface of the rotating plate 2. A soft covering fabric 4 is detachably mounted on the surface of the connecting plate 3. Two symmetrically distributed limiting grooves 201 are opened inside the rotating plate 2. A slot 202 is opened between the two limiting grooves 201 and is connected to the two limiting grooves 201. Two symmetrically distributed sliders 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 3. The sliders 5 are slidably mounted in the limiting grooves 201. Two mutually movable baffles 9 are provided inside the slot 202. Both ends of the baffles 9 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot 202. A driving component is provided inside the slot 202. The driving component can push the baffles 9 to abut against the side wall of the sliders 5.

[0028] By operating the drive component, the distance between the two stop bars 9 is reduced, decreasing the pressure, friction, and sliding resistance of the slider 5. At this point, the driver or passenger can easily push the connecting plate 3 to slide it forward and backward without applying excessive force, improving ease of operation (especially suitable for one-handed adjustment). Conversely, the drive component pushes the stop bars 9 away from each other, increasing the pressure, friction, and "clamping" the slider 5, thus increasing sliding resistance. This is suitable for male users with greater strength, and even when the vehicle is traveling on bumpy roads, the connecting plate 3 will not shift due to vibration, ensuring a stable arm support position.

[0029] It should be noted that the actual adjustment process is based on the comfort level of different drivers. The flexibility of the "adjustable structure" is used to adapt to the individual differences of drivers and ultimately achieve a comfortable and supportive experience.

[0030] In practical use, first rotate the rotating plate 2 and the connecting plate 3 to a horizontal position. After adjusting the horizontal position of the connecting plate 3, place the driver's elbow joint on the soft wrapping fabric 4 on the surface of the connecting plate 3 to achieve the purpose of support, which directly determines the "comfortable support position" when the arm hangs down naturally.

[0031] When the connecting plate 3 is pushed to move linearly, the two sliders 5 can slide inside the limiting groove 201, generating resistance. The sliders 5 are in physical contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove 201, and "sliding friction" is generated when they slide.

[0032] The storage slot 101 at the top of the storage compartment 1 has the function of storing items, and the rotating plate 2 and the connecting plate 3 are set to close the storage slot 101.

[0033] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The drive assembly includes a screw 6 that is rotatably inserted into the inner wall of the slot 202. The screw 6 has two symmetrically distributed opposite threads. Two symmetrically distributed nut blocks 7 are threaded on the screw 6, and the nut blocks 7 are fitted on the opposite threads at both ends. Connecting rods 8 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the nut blocks 7, and the other end of the connecting rods 8 is rotatably connected to the stop bar 9.

[0034] The other end of the screw 6 extends through to the outside of the rotating plate 2 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel 10. The handwheel 10 has multiple protrusions that are evenly distributed to facilitate applying pressure to the handwheel 10 and rotating it.

[0035] Turning the handwheel 10 rotates the screw 6, causing the two nut blocks 7 to move closer together. This, in turn, via the connecting rod 8, causes the two stop bars 9 to move closer together, bringing them into contact with the slider 5. This increases the pressure, positive force, friction, and sliding resistance. This design is suitable for strong male users, and even when the vehicle is traveling on bumpy roads, the armrest cover will not shift due to vibration, ensuring a stable arm support position.

[0036] Reversing the handwheel 10 causes the screw 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, moving the two nut blocks 7 away from each other. This, in turn, causes the two stop bars 9 to move away from each other via the connecting rod 8. This reduces the degree of compression, decreases friction, and reduces the sliding resistance of the slider 5. At this point, the driver or passenger can easily push the connecting plate 3 to achieve forward and backward sliding operation without applying excessive force, thus improving ease of operation.

[0037] Reference Figure 6 Both the limiting groove 201 and the slider 5 have an inverted T-shaped structure.

[0038] Both the limiting groove 201 and the slider 5 are designed as inverted T-shaped structures, which is a typical "complementary and adaptable" mechanical design. The core purpose is to achieve precise constraint of the sliding direction of the slider 5, anti-disengagement limit in the vertical direction, and stability of the sliding process through the matching of structural shapes.

[0039] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 Two Velcro loops 12 are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 3, and two Velcro hooks 11 are fixedly connected to the side of the soft wrapping fabric 4 near the connecting plate 3.

[0040] The two hook and loop fasteners 12 and the two hook and loop fasteners 11 create a "two-point force" to prevent the soft wrapping fabric 4 from curling or shifting during use. The fixation on both sides can distribute the tension to the two contact areas, making the fabric fit more tightly overall.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The soft wrapping fabric 4 is one of the following: PU leather or textile fabric.

[0042] PU leather (artificial leather) is a mainstream choice for car interiors. Its surface has a dense polymer coating that makes it difficult for liquids (such as beverages and sweat), dust, and oil to penetrate. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or disinfectant wipes without the need for deep cleaning. It perfectly solves the problem of car armrests getting "easily stained with arm sweat and snack crumbs". It is especially suitable for families with children or pets, or for ride-hailing cars and family cars that are frequently used.

[0043] The textile fabric's core advantage lies in "contact comfort," being skin-friendly and temperature-neutral: its soft fiber structure reduces fatigue when the arm is draped over it for extended periods, making it suitable for scenarios requiring prolonged contact, such as "temporary rest stops" and "long-distance driving support."

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
