[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present solution will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a recessed armrest structure with ambient lighting, which includes a decorative panel 11, a handle box assembly 21, and an armrest 31. The handle box assembly 21 includes a handle box body 22, a first back panel 23, a first light panel 24, and a first ambient light 25 disposed on the first light panel. The handle box body is connected to the lower part of the decorative panel, the first light panel is connected to the first back panel, and the first back panel 23 is connected to the handle box body 22. The handle box body has a first light-transmitting plate 26 opposite to the first ambient light, and the light from the first ambient light passes through the first light-transmitting plate 26 to illuminate the decorative panel 11. The armrest is connected to the handle box body.

[0038] The embedded armrest structure with ambient lighting provided in this embodiment of the invention allows the light from the first ambient light to directly illuminate the surface of the inlaid panel 11, facilitating the formation of a light waterfall effect in the light waterfall area 53 on the surface of the inlaid panel. At the same time, the light can be displayed in different colors in different usage scenarios, allowing it to be well integrated with the cabin environment, thereby effectively improving the driving and riding experience of the occupants, the brand recognition of the car, and the technological feel of the vehicle.

[0039] Furthermore, the first back panel 23 is a U-shaped panel with the opening facing upwards, the first light panel 24 is horizontally arranged in the U-shaped opening of the first back panel, and the first ambient light is arranged on the top surface of the first light panel; the first back panel is connected to the bottom of the handle box body, thereby making the structure of the first back panel relatively simple.

[0040] Specifically, the first back plate 23 is snapped together with the handle box body 22, thereby enabling easy disassembly of the first back plate and the handle box body.

[0041] Preferably, the first back plate 23 has a first snap-fit ​​structure on both its left and right sides, and the handle box body 22 has a second snap-fit ​​structure on both its bottom left and right sides. The first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure are locked together one-to-one, thereby facilitating the snap-fit ​​connection between the first back plate and the handle box body. Specifically, the first snap-fit ​​structure includes a first fixing plate for connecting to the first back plate, and the first fixing plate has a snap-fit ​​hole 231. The second snap-fit ​​structure includes a second fixing plate for connecting to the handle box body and snap-fit ​​feet 221 on the second fixing plate. In use, the snap-fit ​​feet are engaged in the snap-fit ​​holes to achieve the snap-fit ​​connection between the first back plate and the handle box body.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, there are four first snap-fit ​​structures and four second snap-fit ​​structures, with each first snap-fit ​​structure corresponding to each second snap-fit ​​structure.

[0043] Specifically, the first light panel 24 is welded to the first back panel 23; the handle box body is snapped to the armrest; and the handle box body is screwed to the inlay plate.

[0044] Preferably, the handle box body 22 is provided with a protrusion 223, and the armrest is provided with a metal buckle 52 opposite to the protrusion. The protrusion is provided with a buckle hole 224 for engaging and locking with the metal buckle. In use, the metal buckle 52 is inserted into the buckle hole 224 to achieve the snap-fit ​​connection between the handle box body and the armrest. Specifically, there can be four metal buckles and four protrusions, with each metal buckle corresponding to one protrusion. The bottom, upper left side, and upper right side of the handle box body can all be provided with mounting parts 222 for connecting with the inlay panel screws, thereby making the connection between the handle box body and the inlay panel more secure and reliable.

[0045] Furthermore, the embedded armrest structure with ambient lighting also includes a trim assembly 41 connected to the lower part of the armrest, the trim assembly 41 having a second ambient light 44, the light of the second ambient light being able to be reflected on the trim assembly.

[0046] Specifically, the trim assembly includes a second back panel 42, a trim strip 45, and a second light panel 43 for mounting the second ambient light. The upper side of the trim strip 45 is connected to the lower part of the armrest, the second light panel is connected to the second back panel, and the second back panel is connected to the trim strip. A second light-transmitting plate 451 opposite to the second ambient light is provided on the trim strip. There is a gap between the trim strip and the armrest. Below the second light-transmitting plate is an outwardly protruding arc-shaped plate 452. The light from the second ambient light passes through the second light-transmitting plate, is reflected by the surface of the armrest, and then passes through the gap before illuminating the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped plate. With this design, the light from the second ambient light can be reflected onto the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped plate 452 of the trim strip, thus creating a light waterfall effect on the trim strip embedded in the armrest structure. This enhances the light waterfall effect and technological feel of the embedded armrest structure, further improving the driving and riding experience for passengers.

[0047] Furthermore, the second back panel 42 is a U-shaped panel with its opening facing right, the second light panel 43 is vertically arranged in the U-shaped opening of the second back panel, and the second ambient light is arranged on the right side of the second light panel; the upper and lower sides of the second back panel are detachably connected to the upper and lower sides of the trim strip, respectively, thereby making the structure of the second back panel relatively simple and facilitating the disassembly of the second back panel and the trim strip.

[0048] Preferably, the upper and lower sides of the second back plate 42 are screwed to the upper and lower sides of the trim strip, respectively. Both the upper side of the second back plate and the upper side of the trim strip are provided with snap-fit ​​holes for engaging with the armrest, thus facilitating the connection between the second back plate and the trim strip and the armrest, as well as the detachable connection between the trim strip and the armrest. It can be understood that the snap-fit ​​hole on the upper side of the second back plate can be called the first snap-fit ​​hole 422, and the snap-fit ​​hole on the upper side of the trim strip can be called the second snap-fit ​​hole 455. The second back plate can be provided with a first connecting part 421, and the trim strip can be provided with a second connecting part 454. The first connecting part and the second connecting part are arranged opposite to each other, and the screw connection between the second back plate and the trim strip is achieved through the first connecting part and the second connecting part. Specifically, the first connecting part can be provided with a clear hole, and the second connecting part can be provided with a screw hole for threaded engagement with the threaded section of the screw, with the screw hole and the clear hole arranged opposite to each other.

[0049] Specifically, the materials of the first light-transmitting plate 26 and the second light-transmitting plate 451 can be polycarbonate, or transparent PC for short; the materials of the armrest box body and the rest of the trim strip can be opaque ABS plastic. Understandably, the armrest can also be connected to the trim strip or the second back panel screws, making the connection between the armrest and the trim strip assembly more secure and reliable; the width of the first light-transmitting plate can be 8mm, and the first light-transmitting plate can be located at the lower right corner of the handle box body to ensure the light output of the first ambient light; the first ambient light is obliquely set on the first light plate, and when the first ambient light is lit, the light output angle can be 30° to 60°, which can be adjusted according to the range of the light waterfall effect. The light of the first ambient light shines through the first light-transmitting plate onto the surface of the inlay plate 11, forming a light waterfall area; the handle box body is made of two-color injection molding, which can save assembly space and ensure the integrity of the handle box body. The upper surface of the door interior panel armrest position is prone to water ingress when opened in rainy weather, and the first ambient light is an electronic device. The one-piece molding of the handle box body can better ensure the sealing performance when the door is opened in rainy weather.

[0050] Preferably, the width of the second light-transmitting plate 451 can be 5mm; the angle between the curved plate and the horizontal straight plate 453 at the bottom of the trim strip should not be too large, so as to ensure that the light can be reflected to more areas of the curved surface, that is, to ensure the light output of the second ambient light and facilitate a better light waterfall effect. In a specific embodiment, the radius of the circle containing the curved plate can be greater than 25mm. The trim strip is made of two-color injection molding, which can save a mold and assembly space.

[0051] Specifically, both the first ambient light and the second ambient light are long strip lights composed of multiple LED beads arranged together, which can form a long light waterfall effect below the armrest. At the same time, by lighting up each LED bead in sequence, a flowing light effect can be achieved. Furthermore, by combining it with the cabin scene, different colors and light flow speeds can be displayed in different usage scenarios, which can further enhance the light waterfall effect, the technological feel of the vehicle, and the driving and riding experience of the occupants.

[0052] The embedded armrest structure of this invention achieves a good integration of interior design and lighting. During use, it not only provides the most basic decorative needs of the trim panel, but also achieves a good fusion of lighting atmosphere and interior design in combination with the intelligent cockpit usage scenario. It has a waterfall effect, is full of technological sense, and is detachable and repairable.

[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Moreover, after reading the contents of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various modifications or alterations to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
