Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention discloses a multi-functional armrest box for rear seats with an integrated control screen, belonging to the field of automotive manufacturing technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the modification design of commercial vehicles, the rear seat armrest box does not simultaneously integrate a control panel, hidden cup holders, hidden storage boxes, a tilting wine cabinet, and a kettle cabinet; it only offers a simple combination of some of these functions. Ordinary exposed cup holders, horizontal wine cabinets, and storage functions are difficult to perfectly meet the needs of high-end business use. Common exposed cup holder arrangements, horizontally opening and closing wine cabinet doors without retractable mechanisms, and the absence of a kettle function result in aesthetic deficiencies and inconvenience, significantly lowering users' expectations and demands for a high-end, comfortable experience in commercial vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing rear seat armrest boxes having limited functionality and being exposed, resulting in poor aesthetics and inconvenience in use. The invention proposes a multi-functional rear seat armrest box with an integrated control screen for vehicle use.

[0004] The problem to be solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0005] A multi-functional rear seat armrest box with integrated control screen for vehicles includes a kettle cabinet assembly located at the bottom of one end of the armrest box body. A tilted wine cabinet assembly is inclinedly arranged inside the armrest box body at the top of the kettle cabinet assembly. A vehicle-mounted integrated control screen assembly corresponding to the tilted wine cabinet assembly is arranged at one end of the upper opening of the armrest box body. A hidden cup holder assembly is arranged adjacent to the vehicle-mounted integrated control screen assembly at the upper opening of the armrest box body. A hidden storage box assembly adjacent to the hidden cup holder assembly is arranged inside the armrest box body.

[0006] Preferably, the armrest box includes a box body, and the box body is provided with a box frame that cooperates with its inner wall. One end of the box body is provided with a kettle cabinet mounting hole and a wine cabinet mounting hole.

[0007] Preferably, the kettle cabinet assembly includes a telescopic mechanism connected to the bottom of the cabinet frame. The telescopic platform of the telescopic mechanism is provided with an L-shaped kettle cabinet tray and an electric synchronous wiring harness winding mechanism. The top of the horizontal surface of the L-shaped kettle cabinet tray is used to place the kettle, and its vertical surface cooperates with the kettle cabinet mounting hole to enclose the kettle in the armrest box. The telescopic mechanism is electrically connected to the vehicle body control unit through a wiring harness. The chassis power cable of the kettle is wound on the electric synchronous wiring harness winding mechanism and electrically connected to the vehicle body control unit.

[0008] Preferably, the tilting wine cabinet assembly includes a sliding mechanism tilted on the cabinet frame. The sliding platform of the sliding mechanism is provided with an upper-opening tilting cabinet wine rack. The tilting cabinet wine rack has a semi-open mouth for placing wine bottles. Its end vertical plate cooperates with the wine cabinet mounting hole to close the wine bottles in the armrest box. The sliding mechanism is electrically connected to the vehicle body control unit through a wiring harness.

[0009] Preferably, the sliding mechanism is inclined at an angle of 35° to the horizontal plane.

[0010] Preferably, the vehicle-mounted integrated control screen assembly includes a vehicle-mounted integrated control screen disposed at one end of the upper part of the housing frame, and the vehicle-mounted integrated control screen is electrically connected to the vehicle body control unit via a wiring harness.

[0011] Preferably, the concealed cup holder assembly includes a cup holder body disposed on the upper part of the cabinet frame, and U-shaped guide rails are disposed on the cabinet frame on both sides of the top of the cup holder body. A cup holder curtain that can slide along the U-shaped guide rails is disposed on the U-shaped guide rails, and the cup holder curtain can enclose the cup holder body in the armrest box.

[0012] Preferably, the concealed storage box assembly includes an upper-opening storage box body disposed inside the box body and disposed on the box frame, and a storage box cover connected to the upper edge of the box frame by a hinge, the storage box cover and the upper-opening storage box body cooperating to form a closed storage space.

[0013] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows:

[0014] This invention discloses a multi-functional rear seat armrest box with an integrated control screen for vehicles. It features a concealed cup holder design, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the armrest box while improving the cleanliness and hygiene of the cup holder area. A 35° tilted wine cabinet optimizes space utilization and provides a more ergonomic and user-friendly retrieval method. The electric synchronous wiring harness winding mechanism for the kettle cabinet simultaneously winds up and down the kettle's wiring harness when the electric switch extends or retracts, preventing pulling and crushing damage and improving wiring harness safety.

Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the tilting wine cabinet assembly 500 includes a sliding mechanism 502 tilted at a 35° angle to the horizontal plane and mounted on the cabinet frame 102. A tilting wine rack 501 with an upper opening is mounted on the sliding platform of the sliding mechanism 502. The tilting wine rack 501 has a semi-open cavity for placing wine bottles, and its end vertical plate mates with the wine cabinet mounting holes to enclose the wine bottles within the armrest box 100. The sliding mechanism 502 is electrically connected to the vehicle body control unit via a wiring harness. Both the telescopic mechanism 602 and the sliding mechanism 502 employ linear guide slide modules known in the art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Finally, let me introduce the hidden cup holder assembly 300, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the concealed cup holder assembly 300 includes a cup holder body 301 installed on the upper part of the cabinet frame 102. U-shaped guide rails 302 are installed on the cabinet frame 102 on both sides of the top of the cup holder body 301. A cup holder curtain 303 that can slide along the U-shaped guide rails 302 is installed on the U-shaped guide rails 302. The cup holder curtain 303 can close the cup holder body 301 inside the armrest box 100.
