[0046] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this invention, various structural and implementation methods can be interchanged by those skilled in the art without altering the essential spirit of the invention. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of the technical solution of this invention and should not be considered as the entirety of the invention or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of the invention.

[0048] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly used in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. They are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the bi-directional flip-open central armrest box includes a box body 1, a cover plate 2, and a table plate 3. The table plate 3 is disposed on the lower surface of the cover plate 2. The cover plate 2 is mounted on the box body 1. The front side of the cover plate 2 is provided with a first guide shaft 5a and a first unlocking component 4a. The rear side of the cover plate 2 is provided with a second guide shaft 5b and a second unlocking component 4b. The first guide shaft 5a and the second guide shaft 5b are telescopically connected to the box body 1.

[0051] It includes at least the closed state, the forward flip state, and the backward flip state;

[0052] When closed, both the first guide shaft 5a and the second guide shaft 5b are connected to the housing 1, and the cover plate 2 covers the top of the housing 1.

[0053] When in the forward-flipped state, the second unlocking component 4b drives the second guide shaft 5b to separate from the box 1 and remain in the retracted state, and the cover plate 2 can flip forward around the central axis of the first guide shaft 5a.

[0054] When in the reversed position, the first unlocking component 4a drives the first guide shaft 5a to separate from the housing 1 and remain in the retracted position, and the cover plate 2 can flip backward around the central axis of the second guide shaft 5b.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the center armrest box is in the closed state. The cover plate 2 is placed on top of the box body 1, and the table plate 3 is located at the bottom of the cover plate 2. The first unlocking component 4a is located on the front side of the cover plate 2, and the second unlocking component 4b is located on the rear side of the cover plate 2. The first guide shaft 5a extends from the left and right ends of the front side of the cover plate 2 and connects to the box body 1. The second guide shaft 5b extends from the left and right ends of the rear side of the cover plate 2 and connects to the box body 1.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the center armrest box is in the forward-folded state. At this time, the second unlocking component 4b drives the second guide shaft 5b to separate from the box body 1 and remain in the retracted state. The cover plate 2 can rotate forward 180° around the central axis of the first guide shaft 5a, and the table 3 faces upward after flipping. The table 3 can be set as a telescopic structure, and the table 3 can extend and unfold to the left and right sides for the convenience of the two passengers in the front row.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the center armrest box is in the flipped-back state. At this time, the first unlocking component 4a drives the first guide shaft 5a to separate from the box body 1 and keep it in the retracted state. The cover plate 2 can rotate 180° backward around the central axis of the second guide shaft 5b. After flipping, the table 3 faces upward, and the table 3 can be used by the rear passengers.

[0058] In this embodiment, the cover can be rotated 180° in both the front and rear directions, allowing it to be used by users in the front and rear rows; and after unlocking, the guide shaft always remains retracted, avoiding wear on the guide shaft when the cover is closed.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, both the first unlocking component 4a and the second unlocking component 4b include a trigger 41, a gear transmission group 42, a pressure member 43, a slider drive guide sleeve 44, and a slider 45. A top member 11 is installed on the housing 1. The trigger 41 is connected to the pressure member 43 through the gear transmission group 42. The pressure member 43 cooperates with the top member 11. The gear transmission group 42 drives the slider drive guide sleeve 44. The slider drive guide sleeve 44 is connected to the slider 45. The slider 45 is fixedly connected to the first guide shaft 5a and the second guide shaft 5b.

[0060] When unlocking, trigger 41 is triggered, trigger 41 drives gear transmission group 42, gear transmission group 42 drives pressing member 43 to press top member 11, top member 11 pushes pressing member 43 upward, gear transmission group 42 also drives slider drive guide sleeve 44 to rotate forward, slider drive guide sleeve 44 drives slider 45 to retract inward and self-lock, slider 45 drives the first guide shaft 5a or the second guide shaft 5b to disengage from the housing 1;

[0061] When locked, the cover plate 2 is pressed down, and the cover plate 2 drives the pressing member 43 to press the top member 11 again. The pressing member 43 is pushed upward by the top member 11. The pressing member 43 drives the gear transmission group 42 to rotate in the opposite direction. The gear transmission group 42 drives the slider to drive the guide sleeve 44 to rotate in the opposite direction and unlock it with the slider 45. The slider 45 extends outward, and the slider 45 drives the first guide shaft 5a or the second guide shaft 5b to extend outward and lock with the housing 1.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first unlocking component 4a and the second unlocking component 4b have the same structure, but the difference is that the first unlocking component 4a is located on the front side of the cover plate 2, and the second unlocking component 4b is located on the rear side of the cover plate 2. Top members 11 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the housing 2.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, taking the first unlocking component 4a as an example, the first unlocking component 4a includes a trigger 41, a gear transmission assembly 42, a pressing component 43, a slider drive guide sleeve 44, and a slider 45. The trigger 41 is connected to the pressing component 43 and the slider drive guide sleeve 44 through the gear transmission assembly 42. The pressing component 43 cooperates with the top component 11, and the slider drive guide sleeve 44 cooperates with the slider 45. The slider 45 is fixedly connected to the first guide shaft 5a. The first unlocking component 4a includes two slider drive guide sleeves 44 and two sliders 45. Each slider 45 is connected to a first guide shaft 5a, and the two first guide shafts 5a extend into the left and right sides of the housing 1, respectively.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the trigger 41 is a handle, which is rotatably connected to the end of the cover plate 2. When the handle is pulled up, the handle drives the pressing member 43 to press the top member 11 through the gear transmission group 42.

[0065] When the trigger 41 is pulled up, it causes the pressing member 43 to press down on the top member 11. The pulled-up trigger 41 remains in the pulled-up position. The trigger 41 can be used as a handle to facilitate the flipping movement of the cover plate 2.

[0066] When it is necessary to flip the cover plate 2 backward, pull up the trigger 41 of the first unlocking assembly 4a. The trigger 41 moves downward, driving the pressing member 43 downward through the gear transmission assembly 42. The pressing member 43 presses down on the top member 11, causing the top member 11 to spring upward and push the pressing member 43 upward. When the trigger 41 is pulled up, the gear transmission assembly 42 simultaneously drives the slider drive guide sleeve 44 to rotate forward. During the forward rotation of the slider drive guide sleeve 44, the slider 45 retracts inward and self-locks, and the slider 45 drives the first guide shaft 5a to disengage from the housing 1. Therefore, when the pressing member 43 is pushed up, the pressing member 43 drives the entire first unlocking assembly 4a upward, causing the front end of the cover plate 2 to be pushed upward. Since the first guide shaft 5a remains in the retracted state, the cover plate 2 can be manually flipped backward 180°, or left at any angle between 0 and 180°.

[0067] For example, when the user does not intend to use the table board 3, but only wants to open the cover plate 2 to take the items stored in the box body 1, the cover plate 2 can be flipped to a smaller angle. If the user in the rear row needs to use the table board 3, the cover plate 2 is flipped backward to the maximum stroke of 180°, facilitating the use of the user in the rear row.

[0068] When the user finishes using, the cover plate 2 is flipped forward, and when it is flipped to near 0°, the cover plate 2 is pressed downward, the pressing piece 43 presses the top piece 11 downward again, the top piece 11 is retracted downward, and when the top piece 11 cannot be pushed downward to the bottom, the cover plate 2 is continuously pressed downward, the top piece 11 lifts the pressing piece 43 upward, the pressing piece 43 drives the gear transmission assembly 42 to rotate reversely, the gear transmission assembly 42 drives the sliding block driving guide sleeve 44 to rotate reversely and unlock the sliding block 45, the sliding block 45 extends outward, the sliding block 45 drives the first guide shaft 5a to extend outward and lock the box body 1, and the pressing piece 43 drives the trigger piece 41 to reset downward to the position of the closed state.

[0069] The unlocking and locking modes of the second unlocking assembly 4b are the same as those of the first unlocking assembly 4a, and the cover plate 2 can be flipped backward and forward by alternately triggering the first unlocking assembly 4a and the second unlocking assembly 4b.

[0070] Optionally, the trigger piece 41 can also be a button, and the pressing of the button can drive the pressing piece 43 to press the top piece 11, so as to realize the unlocking between the guide shaft and the box body 1 and the lifting of the cover plate 2.

[0071] Further, as shown in Figure 6 the gear transmission assembly 42 includes a driving wheel 421, a transmission wheel 422 and a rack 423, the driving wheel 421 is connected with the trigger piece 41 as a whole, the transmission wheel 422 is fixedly connected with the sliding block driving guide sleeve 44, and the rack 423 is connected with the pressing piece 43 as a whole, the driving wheel 421 is engaged with the transmission wheel 422, and the transmission wheel 422 is engaged with the rack 423.

[0072] Specifically, the driving wheel 421 is a half gear, and the driving wheel 421 is integrally formed with the trigger piece 41; the transmission wheel 422 is a circular gear, and the transmission wheel 422 is engaged with the driving wheel 421 and the rack 423 respectively, and the rack 423 is located above the pressing piece 43 and integrally formed with the pressing piece 43.

[0073] Further, as shown in Figure 6 a part of the sliding block 45 is inserted into the sliding block driving guide sleeve 44, the transmission wheel 422 is fixedly connected with the sliding block driving guide sleeve 44, so that the transmission wheel 422 can drive the rotation of the sliding block driving guide sleeve 44 at the same time, and when the sliding block driving guide sleeve 44 rotates, the sliding block 45 is driven to realize the extension and retraction movement.

[0074] asFigures 7-8 As shown, the inner part of the slider driving guide sleeve 44 is provided with a guide column 441, and the slider 45 is provided with a guide groove 451, which includes an inclined groove 451a and a self-locking groove 451b, the self-locking groove 451b is located at one end of the inclined groove 451a, the guide column 441 is inserted into the guide groove 451, and the slider 45 and the slider driving guide sleeve 44 are further provided with a compression spring 47;

[0075] When the slider driving guide sleeve 44 rotates forward, the guide column 441 slides along the inclined groove 451a and drives the slider 45 to retract inward, when the guide column 441 slides into the self-locking groove 451b, the slider 45 and the slider driving guide sleeve 44 are self-locked, and the compression spring 47 is compressed;

[0076] When the slider driving guide sleeve 44 reverses rotation, the guide column 441 is out of the self-locking groove 451b, the compression spring 47 pushes the slider 45 to extend outward, and the guide column 441 slides along the inclined groove 451a to the initial position.

[0077] Specifically, in the initial state, the guide column 441 is located at the far end A of the inclined groove 451a, and the compression spring 47 pushes the slider 45 towards the left side of the Figure 7 , and the slider 45 drives the first guide shaft 5a to extend leftward.

[0078] When the slider driving guide sleeve 44 rotates in the clockwise direction of the Figure 7 , the guide column 441 slides along the inclined groove 451a from the far end A to the direction of the self-locking groove 451b, the guide column 441 pushes the slider 45 to retract rightward, until the guide column 441 enters the self-locking groove 451b, to lock the slider 45, and keep the first guide shaft 5a in the retracted position.

[0079] When the slider driving guide sleeve 44 reverses rotation, the guide column 441 is out of the self-locking groove 451b, the compression spring 47 pushes the slider 45 to extend leftward, the first guide shaft 5a extends outward, and the guide column 441 returns to the far end A along the inclined groove 451a.

[0080] In this embodiment, as shown in the Figure 9 , the pressing piece 43 is a vertical rod, when the pressing piece 43 presses the top piece 11, the lower end of the pressing piece 43 extends from the lower surface of the cover plate 2, and the top piece 11 is located below the pressing piece 43.

[0081] Specifically, as shown in the Figures 2-3 , when the cover plate 2 is flipped upward, the pressing piece 43 extends from the table plate 3.

[0082] Further, as shown in the Figures 2-4As shown, the damping assembly 6 includes a guide shaft gear 61, a first damping gear 62 and a second damping gear 63, the first damping gear 62 and the second damping gear 63 are installed on the inner wall of the box body 1, the guide shaft gear 61 is connected with the first guide shaft 5a and the second guide shaft 5b, the first damping gear 62 is used for damping when the cover plate 2 is closed, and the second damping gear 63 is used for damping when the cover plate 2 is opened.

[0083] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 The guide shaft gear 61 is connected with the first guide shaft 5a and the second guide shaft 5b, and the first guide shaft 5a and the second guide shaft 5b are retracted, which drives the guide shaft gear 61 to retract.

[0084] The first damping gear 62 and the second damping gear 63 are installed on the side wall of the box body 1, and there are four groups of first damping gears 62 and second damping gears 63 on the front, rear, left and right side walls of the box body 1.

[0085] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 The side wall of the box body 1 is also provided with a guide sleeve 64; as shown in the figure, Figure 5 The outer side of the guide shaft gear 61 is provided with a shaft cylinder 611. When the first guide shaft 5a and the second guide shaft 5b are extended, the shaft cylinder 611 is inserted into the guide sleeve 64, and at this time the guide shaft gear 61 is in the same plane with the first damping gear 62 and the second damping gear 63.

[0086] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 Therefore, when the guide shaft gear 61 rotates to a certain angle, it is engaged with the first damping gear 62 or the second damping gear 63.

[0087] For example: when the cover plate 2 is opened to 0-90° relative to the box body 1, the guide shaft gear 61 is not engaged with the first damping gear 62 and the second damping gear 63; at this time the cover plate 2 can be quickly opened.

[0088] When the cover plate 2 is opened to 90°-180° relative to the box body 1, the guide shaft gear 61 is engaged with the second damping gear 63; the second damping gear 63 is used to reduce the speed of further opening of the cover plate 2, so as to avoid the cover plate 2 from being quickly opened and causing harm to the user.

[0089] When the cover plate 2 is closed to 180°-90° relative to the box body 1, the guide shaft gear 61 is not engaged with the first damping gear 62 and the second damping gear 63; so as to enable the cover plate 2 to be quickly closed.

[0090] When the cover plate 2 is flipped to close to 90°-3° relative to the box body 1, the guide shaft gear 61 is engaged with the first damping gear 62, at this time, the cover plate 2 is close to the closed position with the box body 1, in order to avoid pinching hands when the cover plate 2 is quickly closed, the first damping gear 62 slows down the closing speed of the cover plate 2.

[0091] Optionally, the cover plate 2 can also be designed to other flip opening and closing angles, the guide shaft gear 61 is engaged with the damping gear, which meets the better user experience and safety.

[0093] As shown in the figure, embodiment two is different from embodiment one in that the trigger 41 is a buckle hand, the buckle hand is rotatably connected to the end of the cover plate 2, when the buckle hand is pulled up, the buckle hand drives the pressing piece 43 to press the top piece 11 through the gear transmission group 42. Figure 10 When the trigger 41 is pulled up, the pressing piece 43 is pressed downward to press the top piece 11, the pulled-up trigger 41 remains in the pulled-up position, the trigger 41 can be used as a handle to facilitate the flip movement of the cover plate 2.

[0094] Further, as shown in the figure, the pressing piece 43 is an L-shaped rod piece, when the pressing piece 43 presses the top piece 11, the lower end of the pressing piece 43 extends from the side of the cover plate 2.

[0095] Figure 10 Since the pressing piece 43 extends from the side of the cover plate 2 instead of the table plate 3, it does not affect the use of the table plate 3.

[0096] Further, as shown in the figure, the top piece 11 includes a first horizontal block 111, a first vertical block 112, a second horizontal block 113 and a second vertical block 114.

[0097] After the lower end of the pressing piece 43 extends from the side of the cover plate 2, the lower end of the pressing piece 43 pushes the first horizontal block 111, the first horizontal block 111 pushes the first vertical block 112 to move downward, the first vertical block 112 pushes the second horizontal block 113 to move, the second horizontal block 113 pushes the second vertical block 114 to move upward, and the second vertical block 114 lifts the cover plate 2. Figure 10 Specifically, the top piece 11 includes four movable blocks spliced together, arranged in the shape of a "mouth". In anticlockwise direction, they are the first horizontal block 111, the first vertical block 112, the second horizontal block 113 and the second vertical block 114, and the abutting surfaces of the first horizontal block 111, the first vertical block 112, the second horizontal block 113 and the second vertical block 114 are inclined surfaces.

[0099]

[0100] ​​​When the pressing piece 43 extends out from the side, the lower end of the pressing piece 43 pushes the first horizontal block 111 to the left, the first horizontal block 111 pushes the first vertical block 112 to move downwards, the first vertical block 112 pushes the second horizontal block 113 to move to the right, the second horizontal block 113 pushes the second vertical block 114 to lift up, the second vertical block 114 lifts up the cover plate 2, at this time, the first guide shaft or the second guide shaft has been separated from the box body 1, after the cover plate 2 is lifted up, the user pulls the trigger 41 to drive the cover plate 2 to flip forward or backward.

[0101] When the cover plate 2 is closed, the bottom of the cover plate 2 pushes the second vertical block 114 downwards, the second vertical block 114 pushes the second horizontal block 113 to the left, the second horizontal block 113 pushes the first vertical block 112 upwards, the first vertical block 112 pushes the first horizontal block 111 backwards, the first horizontal block 111 pushes the pressing piece 43 back into the cover plate 2, the pressing piece 43 moves upwards to drive the sliding block 45 to extend outwards, and the sliding block 45 drives the first guide shaft or the second guide shaft to extend outwards and then insert into the box body 1.

[0102] The present application has the following advantages:

[0103] 1. The cover plate can be opened bidirectionally by 180°;

[0104] 2. When the cover plate is opened, the trigger always keeps a pressed state, the guide shaft keeps a retracted state, and the cover plate is automatically popped up at a small angle, so that the state of the cover plate can be intuitively prompted;

[0105] 3. When the cover plate is closed, the guide shaft also keeps a retracted state, and is released only when it returns to the initial position, so that the guide shaft is prevented from being pressed by the side wall of the box body for a long time;

[0106] 4. The Z-direction space is maximally saved, the thickness of the cover plate is ensured to be small, and the manual flipping is not heavy.

[0107] The above only describes the principles and preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, on the basis of the principles of the present application, a number of other variants can also be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
