Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the first aspect of this application provides an automotive sub-instrument assembly 100, which includes a center console 110, a first hinge 120, and a first support plate 130.

[0026] The armrest box 110 is typically installed between the two front seats of a vehicle. It serves as a storage box for storing items. An elbow rest is located above the armrest box 110, designed to support the arms of the front passenger, thus relaxing their arms and reducing fatigue. The elbow rest also functions as a lid, allowing the armrest box 110 to be opened or closed for easy access to items.

[0027] The first hinge 120 is hinged to the armrest box 110 about a vertical axis. The first hinge 120 can rotate relative to the armrest box 110 about a vertical axis, so that the first hinge 120 is in different positions at the same height. The first support plate 130 is hinged to the first hinge 120 about a horizontal axis. The first support plate 130 can rotate relative to the first hinge 120 about a horizontal axis, thereby changing the height of the center of gravity of the first support relative to the armrest box 110. That is, the first support plate 130 can simultaneously adjust its height relative to the armrest box 110 and its position relative to the armrest box 110 at the same height.

[0028] During rotation, the first support plate 130 has at least a first position and a second position. When in the first position, the first support plate 130 is in a closed state, and when in the second position, it is in an unfolded state. The first support plate 130 can rotate from the first position relative to the armrest box 110 to the second position via the first hinge 120. Preferably, the first and second positions can be at the same height, and the second position can be equivalent to the position of the first support plate 130 after rotating 90 degrees relative to the armrest box 110 from the first position along the same height. Of course, the angle between the first and second positions in the horizontal plane can also be other angles.

[0029] When the first support plate 130 is in the first position, it covers the armrest box 110 and serves as an elbow rest, while the armrest box 110 is in a closed state. When the first support plate 130 is in the second position, it extends towards the driver's seat or the passenger seat and serves as a table. However, the first support plate 130 cannot completely cover the opening of the armrest box 110, so the armrest box 110 is in a partially open state.

[0030] In summary, the automotive sub-instrument assembly 100 of this application embodiment can be rotated to different positions, so that the first support plate 130 can serve as both an elbow rest and a table. Furthermore, since there is no need to separately install a table, the automotive sub-instrument assembly 100 of this application embodiment can reduce the manufacturing cost of the automotive sub-instrument assembly 100 while simultaneously fulfilling the functions of an elbow rest and a table, and can reduce the space occupied in the vehicle interior compared to a separate table.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first hinge 120 is disposed at the end of the first support plate 130 near the front of the vehicle. When the first support plate 130 is rotated to the second position as a table, the position of the first support plate 130 can be relatively forward, thereby making the distance between the first support plate 130 and the front seat in the direction of vehicle movement larger, thus facilitating use by passengers.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the armrest box 110 is provided with a first shaft hole 110d extending along the vertical axis, and the first hinge member 120 includes a first rotating shaft extending along the vertical axis and a main body connected to the first rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is rotatably disposed in the first shaft hole 110d, that is, the first hinge member 120 is hinged to the armrest box 110 around the vertical axis through the first rotating shaft.

[0033] Furthermore, the main body is provided with a second shaft hole extending along the horizontal axis, and the first support plate 130 has a second rotating shaft 132 extending along the horizontal axis. The second rotating shaft 132 is rotatably disposed in the second shaft hole, that is, the first support plate 130 is hinged to the first hinge member 120 around the horizontal axis through the second rotating shaft 132.

[0034] In some embodiments, a limiting protrusion is provided on the surface of the main body facing the armrest box 110, and a limiting groove 110a is provided on the surface of the armrest box 110 facing the limiting protrusion. The limiting groove 110a has a fixed length, and the limiting protrusion is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 110a. The limiting groove 110a limits the rotation range of the first rotating shaft by its fixed length. Preferably, the limiting groove 110a limits the rotation range of the first rotating shaft to 0-90 degrees. It should be noted that the limiting groove 110a is arc-shaped, thereby enabling the main body to rotate via the first rotating shaft.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first support plate 130 also has a third position. The first support plate 130 can rotate from the first position relative to the armrest box 110 via the second pivot 132 to the third position, thereby changing the height of the center of gravity of the first support plate 130 relative to the armrest box 110, that is, raising the height of the end of the first support plate 130 away from the second pivot 132, thereby avoiding interference from the armrest box 110 when the first support plate 130 rotates around the vertical axis. When the first support plate 130 is in the third position, the armrest box 110 can be in a fully open state. Preferably, the third position is the position where the first support plate 130 is after rotating 90 degrees away from the first position around the second pivot 132, that is, the first support plate 130 can rotate from a horizontal state covering the armrest box 110 to a vertical state, so as to open the armrest box 110 and facilitate passengers to take out or put in items from the armrest box 110.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the first support plate 130 also has a fourth position, which is a transition position. The first support plate 130 can rotate from the third position relative to the armrest box 110 via the first pivot to the fourth position. The fourth position is the position where the first support plate 130 is after rotating 90 degrees away from the armrest box 110 from the third position around the first pivot. The first support plate 130 can rotate from the fourth position relative to the armrest box 110 via the second pivot 132 to the second position. That is, the first support plate 130 can rotate from the first position around the second pivot 132 to the third position, then from the third position around the first pivot to the fourth position, and then from the fourth position around the second pivot 132 to the second position, thereby completing the switch of the first support plate 130 from the first position to the second position, that is, switching the first support plate 130 from the usage state as an elbow rest to the usage state as a table. It is understood that the process of switching the first support plate 130 from the usage state as a table to the usage state as an elbow rest is the reverse of the above process, and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] In some embodiments, the vehicle sub-instrument assembly 100 further includes a second hinge member disposed on the first support plate 130 and detachably connected to the armrest box 110.

[0038] When the first support plate 130 is in the first and third positions, the second hinge can be connected to the armrest box 110. The first support plate 130 is hinged to the armrest box 110 in the horizontal axis via the second hinge. At the same time, the first support plate 130 is also hinged to the armrest box 110 in the horizontal axis via the second pivot 132. The simultaneous hinge of the first support plate 130 to the armrest box 110 via both the second hinge and the second pivot 132 improves the stability of the first support plate 130 when rotating around the horizontal axis, for example, improving the stability when rotating from the first position to the third position. The second hinge restricts the first support plate 130 to rotate only around the horizontal axis and not around the vertical axis.

[0039] When the first support plate 130 is in the second and fourth positions, the second hinge is separated from the armrest box 110. At this time, the first support plate 130 can rotate around the vertical axis via the first pivot and can also rotate around the horizontal axis via the second pivot 132.

[0040] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the second hinge includes a plug-in pivot 141, which is movably disposed on the first support plate 130 along a horizontal axis. The plug-in pivot 141 and the second pivot 132 are located on the same axis. The armrest box 110 is provided with a plug-in pivot hole 110e corresponding to the plug-in pivot 141. The plug-in pivot 141 can be inserted into or withdrawn from the plug-in pivot hole 110e. When the plug-in pivot 141 is inserted into the plug-in pivot hole 110e, the plug-in pivot 141 restricts the first support plate 130 from rotating from a third position to a fourth position. When withdrawn from the plug-in pivot hole 110e, the first support plate 130 can rotate from the third position relative to the armrest box 110 to the fourth position via the first pivot. Of course, the second hinge can also be a hinge, with one end fixedly connected to the first support plate 130 and the other end detachably connected to the armrest box 110.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the automotive sub-instrument assembly 100 further includes a switch button 150 and a first return spring 160. The switch button 150 is movably disposed on the first support plate 130 and is throttle-connected to the insertion shaft 141. When the switch button 150 is subjected to external force, the switch button 150 can drive the insertion shaft 141 to be pulled out from the insertion shaft hole 110e. The two ends of the first return spring 160 are respectively connected to the switch button 150 and the first support plate 130. When the switch button 150 is not subjected to external force, the first return spring 160 drives the insertion shaft 141 to be inserted into the insertion shaft hole 110e.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the automotive sub-instrument assembly 100 further includes a locking member 180, which is disposed on the first support plate 130. When the first support plate 130 is in a first position or a second position, the locking member 180 is locked to the armrest box 110. That is, whether the first support plate 130 is used as an elbow rest or as a table, the locking member 180 can be locked to the armrest box 110, thereby fixing the first support plate 130 to the armrest box 110 in both the first and second positions. In addition, since it is not necessary to provide two locking members 180, the cost can be reduced and the structure of the automotive sub-instrument assembly 100 can be simplified.

[0043] It should be noted that since the first support plate 130 is locked in both the first and second positions, it cannot rotate directly from the first position to the second position. Therefore, when switching from the elbow rest state to the table state, the first support plate 130 rotates sequentially through the first, third, and fourth positions to reach the second position. When switching from the table state to the elbow rest state, the first support plate 130 rotates sequentially through the second, fourth, and third positions to reach the first position.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the armrest box 110 is provided with a first locking hole 110b and a second locking hole 110c, and the locking member 180 is locked in place with either the first locking hole 110b or the second locking hole 110c. When the first support plate 130 is in the first position, the locking member 180 is locked in place with the first locking hole 110b to fix the first support plate 130, which serves as an elbow rest. When the first support plate 130 is in the second position, the locking member 180 is locked in place with the second locking hole 110c to fix the first support plate 130, which serves as a tabletop.

[0045] Refer again Figure 7 In some embodiments, the locking member 180 includes an unlocking button 181, a locking hook 182, and a second return spring 183. The unlocking button 181 is movably disposed on the first support plate 130. The locking hook 182 is tractively connected to the unlocking button 181 and can engage with the first latching hole 110b or the second latching hole 110c. The two ends of the second return spring 183 are respectively connected to the unlocking button 181 and the first support plate 130. When the unlocking button 181 is subjected to an external force, the unlocking button 181 drives the locking hook 182 to move until it separates from the first latching hole 110b or the second latching hole 110c, at which time the locking member 180 is in an unlocked state. When the unlocking button 181 is not subjected to an external force, the second return spring 183 drives the unlocking button 181 to reset, thereby driving the locking hook 182 to move until it engages with the first latching hole 110b or the second latching hole 110c, at which time the locking member 180 is in a locked state.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first support plate 130 has a protruding shell 131 corresponding to the locking hook 182. The protruding shell 131 partially covers the locking hook 182 and can protect the locking hook 182. The protruding shell 131 has an opening for the locking hook 182 to extend out. The wall of the second locking hole 110c is provided with a rubber pad. When the locking hook 182 is engaged with the second locking hole 110c, the protruding shell 131 abuts against the rubber pad. When the locking hook 182 is engaged with the second locking hole 110c, the first support plate 130 is in a second position. At this time, the stability of the first support plate 130 is relatively poor. The rubber pad can reduce the collision between the protruding shell 131 and the wall of the second locking hole 110c and reduce abnormal noise. When the locking hook 182 is engaged with the first locking hole 110b, the first support plate 130 is in the first position. At this time, the stability of the first support plate 130 is relatively good, so the first locking hole 110b does not need to be equipped with a rubber pad.

[0047] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the armrest box 110 includes a front plate 111, a left side plate 112, a rear plate 113 and a right side plate 114 connected end to end. A first locking hole 110b is provided on the front plate 111, and a first shaft hole 110d and a second locking hole 110c are provided on the left side plate 112.

[0048] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in some embodiments, the automotive sub-instrument assembly 100 further includes a second support plate 170 and a third hinge member. The third hinge member is hinged to the armrest box 110 about a vertical axis, and the second support plate 170 is hinged to the third hinge member about a horizontal axis. The second support plate 170 has a fifth position and a sixth position, and the second support plate 170 is rotatable relative to the armrest box 110 from the fifth position to the sixth position via the third hinge member.

[0049] The third hinge has a similar function to the first hinge 120, and their specific structures can be the same. When the first support plate 130 is in the first position and the second support plate 170 is in the fifth position, both the first support plate 130 and the second support plate 170 cover the armrest box 110, and both serve as elbow rests. When the first support plate 130 is in the second position and the second support plate 170 is in the sixth position, both serve as tabletops.

[0050] The third hinge member and the first hinge member 120 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center plane of the armrest box 110, and the second support plate 170 and the first support plate 130 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center plane of the armrest box 110. Alternatively, the automotive sub-instrument assembly 100 may also include a fourth hinge member, which is symmetrically arranged symmetrically with respect to the center plane of the armrest box 110 with respect to the second hinge member. The fourth hinge member has a similar function to the second hinge member, and their specific structures may be identical.

[0051] Refer again Figure 7 In some embodiments, the automotive sub-instrument assembly 100 further includes a return torsion spring 190. The two force-applying ends of the return torsion spring 190 abut against the main body and the first support plate 130, respectively. The return torsion spring 190 applies force to the first support plate 130, causing the first support plate 130 to tend to rotate around the second shaft hole via the second rotating shaft 132. For example, when the first support plate 130 is in the first position, pressing the unlock button 181 will cause the first support plate 130 to automatically rotate to the third position under the force of the return torsion spring 190. When the first support plate 130 is in the second position, pressing the unlock button 181 will cause the first support plate 130 to automatically rotate to the fourth position under the force of the return torsion spring 190.

[0052] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle that includes the aforementioned automotive sub-instrument assembly 100.
