DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, so as to facilitate a clear understanding of the present application, but they do not constitute a limitation on the present application.

[0022] As Figures 1-3As shown, the present invention includes an armrest cover plate, a lock frame 3 fixed at the front end of the armrest cover plate, and button decorative parts 2 fixed on both sides of the lock frame 3. Two buttons 1 are respectively located in the frames of the button decorative parts 2 on the left and right sides. One part of the button 1 is located outside the button decorative part 2, and the other part is fixed to the push rod 4 inside the button decorative part 2. The push rod 4 matches the lock tongue 5. The lock tongue 5 is engaged with the front end slot of the armrest cover plate. The two sides of the armrest cover plate are respectively fixed to the upper hinge arm 8. The upper hinge arm 8 is hinged to the armrest hinge shaft 10. The two ends of the armrest hinge shaft 10 are respectively located on the lower hinge support 9. A spring 13 is sleeved on the armrest hinge shaft 10, and the end of the spring 13 contacts the lower hinge support 9.

[0023] In some alternative embodiments, the pivot bushing 14 is disposed on the armrest hinge pivot 10, and the spring 13 is mounted outside the pivot bushing 14.

[0024] In some alternative embodiments, a hinge washer 12 is mounted on the outside of the pivot bushing 14 to secure the spring 13.

[0025] In some alternative embodiments, the retaining ring 11 is fixed to the lower hinge support 9.

[0026] In some alternative embodiments, the damper 15 is mounted on the lower hinge support 9.

[0027] In some optional embodiments, the lower hinge support 9 is located on both sides of the handrail cover plate, the lower hinge support 9 is provided with a lifting lug, the two ends of the handrail hinge shaft 10 are provided on the lifting lug, and the retaining spring 11 is located between the lifting lug and the handrail hinge shaft 10.

[0028] In some optional embodiments, the handrail cover includes an inner handrail cover 6 and an outer handrail cover 7. The rear end of the outer handrail cover 7 is fixed to the hinge arm 8, and the inner handrail cover 6 is fixed below the outer handrail cover 7. A slot is provided on the inner side of the front end of the inner handrail cover 6.

[0029] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the working process of this invention is as follows: When button 1 is manually pressed, and force is applied to push rod 4, the guide surface of push rod 4 and locking tongue 5 causes locking tongue 5 to retract inward to unlock. The armrest cover is then opened by the hinge arm 8 and spring 13. Button 1 and push rod 4 return to their original positions under the reaction force of the push rod spring, and locking tongue 5 returns to its original position under the reaction force of the internal spring.

[0030] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
