Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts and equipment, and more specifically, to a method for manufacturing an automotive armrest box. Background Technology

[0002] A car armrest box is a storage space installed between the front seats of a car, usually located in the center between the driver and front passenger seats. It not only provides a convenient support point for the driver and passenger's arms, but also offers additional storage space to help organize items inside the car. Car armrest boxes have ample storage functionality; they are typically designed with a flip-top cover that reveals a spacious storage compartment suitable for various small items such as wallets, phones, keys, snacks, and documents. The interior of the armrest box usually also includes small dividers or zippered pockets for easy organization, increasing tidiness and convenience. Car armrest boxes provide a comfortable support point, making long drives or rides easier. When driving, drivers and passengers need a comfortable support point for their arms to reduce arm and shoulder fatigue. The design of the armrest box provides just such a support point, allowing the arms to relax and rest on it, greatly improving comfort. This is especially true at high speeds or on bumpy roads, where the support of the armrest box is even more noticeable, effectively reducing body sway. In summary, as a practical in-car feature, the car armrest box offers ample storage, provides comfortable support, and has certain safety and auxiliary functions. It not only enhances the comfort of drivers and passengers but also helps organize clutter in the car and improves space utilization. When choosing a car armrest box, consumers can select different styles, materials, and functions according to their own needs to meet their individual requirements.

[0003] In the existing technology, the various components of the armrest box in the processing technology of automotive parts are all injection molded. Due to the inaccuracy of parameters in the injection molding stage of one or more components, the armrest box will be very heavy to manufacture. It is also easy to make it difficult to accurately align the dimensions and angles of the armrest box after molding, which reduces the practicality of the armrest box and the molding effect is not good. Therefore, we propose an automotive armrest box manufacturing method to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an automotive armrest box. By using carbon fiber reinforced plastic or other lightweight materials to make the automotive armrest box, a lighter and stronger armrest box can be achieved, thereby improving the strength, lifespan and aesthetics of the automotive armrest box.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] The manufacturing method of an automobile armrest box includes the following steps:

[0009] S1. Design and Model Making: First, a design is needed to determine the size, shape, structure, and required functions of the car armrest box to be made. At the same time, a physical model is made to verify the design and conduct actual tests.

[0010] S2. Raw material selection: Select appropriate materials to achieve a lighter and more robust armrest box;

[0014] S6. Install hardware accessories: Use screws to fix the hardware accessories to the corresponding parts of the armrest box to ensure that they are secure and safe;

[0015] S7. Surface treatment: Carefully inspect and repair all parts of the armrest box;

[0016] S8. Quality Inspection: After all the production steps are completed, a quality inspection is required.

[0017] S9. Packaging the finished product: Pack the handrail boxes that meet the inspection requirements.

[0018] Furthermore, the material in S2 includes:

[0019] 1) Suitable material: Choose high-quality carbon fiber reinforced plastic sheet, and select the color and texture of the material according to personal preference;

[0020] 2) Armrest box frame material: Lightweight materials can be used to make the armrest box frame to ensure its stability and durability;

[0021] 3) Soft padding materials: Choose soft and comfortable materials, such as sponge and cotton, to fill the inside and top of the armrest box to provide comfort;

[0023] Furthermore, in S3, lightweight materials are used to make the frame of the armrest box, and it is ensured that the various parts are tightly connected, stable and durable.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S4, tools such as saws and cutting machines are used to cut the carbon fiber reinforced plastic sheet to ensure that each part meets the design requirements.

[0025] Furthermore, in step S4, adhesive or screws are used to fix the carbon fiber reinforced plastic sheets together to form the box structure of the armrest box.

[0026] Furthermore, in step S5, the selected cushion material is first cut into the corresponding shape according to the size of the armrest box, and then glue or screws are used to fix the cushion material to prevent it from loosening or shifting.

[0027] Furthermore, in step S6, hinges, latches, and other hardware accessories are installed at appropriate locations in the armrest box according to design requirements to facilitate opening and closing of the armrest box and maintain the stability of the box.

[0028] Furthermore, in S7, the armrest box undergoes processes such as polishing and spraying to ensure that there are no sharp edges or protrusions, thereby enhancing its appearance and durability.

[0029] Furthermore, the quality inspection in S8 includes;

[0030] 1) Visual inspection: Check whether the outer surface of the armrest box is flat and free from obvious defects or damage, such as scratches or dents;

[0031] 2) Structural inspection: Check whether the armrest box structure is sturdy and whether there are any looseness, abnormal noises, etc.;

[0032] 3) Material testing: Check whether the materials used in the armrest box meet the relevant standards, such as the toughness and hardness of plastics, and the corrosion resistance of metal parts;

[0033] 4) Functional test: Test whether the armrest box can be opened, closed and locked normally, and whether it can withstand a certain load;

[0034] 5) Safety test: Through simulated collision test, check whether the armrest box can protect the safety of passengers in the event of a vehicle collision and prevent the items inside the armrest box from causing injury to passengers.

[0035] Furthermore, the structural inspection in S8 can be performed by conducting vibration tests, tightening screws, and other methods to determine whether the structure is stable.
