[0065] Reference Figures 1-9As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a double connecting rod mechanism for opening the both sides of the handrail, which comprises a first connecting rod 1, a second connecting rod 2 and a base plate 3. The first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 are spaced apart along the X direction of the vehicle body. The first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 are both used for connecting with the handrail box. The first connecting rod 1 can rotate relative to the handrail box about a first axis parallel to the X direction of the vehicle body. The second connecting rod 2 can rotate relative to the handrail box about a second axis parallel to the X direction of the vehicle body. The first axis and the second axis are spaced apart along the Y direction of the vehicle body. The base plate 3 is used for connecting with the handrail cover. The base plate 3 is arranged between the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2. The base plate 3 is connected with the first connecting rod 1 through a first connecting structure and connected with the second connecting rod 2 through a second connecting structure. The first connecting structure enables the base plate 3 to rotate relative to the first connecting rod 1 about a third axis parallel to the first axis and enables the base plate 3 to rotate with the first connecting rod 1 about the first axis. The first connecting rod 1 can be rotated to the third axis coinciding with the second axis. The second connecting structure enables the base plate 3 to rotate relative to the second connecting rod 2 about a fourth axis parallel to the second axis and enables the base plate 3 to rotate with the second connecting rod 2 about the second axis. The second connecting rod 2 can be rotated to the fourth axis coinciding with the first axis. When the third axis does not coincide with the second axis, the second connecting structure restricts the relative rotation between the base plate 3 and the first connecting rod 1. When the fourth axis does not coincide with the first axis, the first connecting structure restricts the relative rotation between the base plate 3 and the second connecting rod 2.

[0066] With reference to Figures 1-3 Specifically, as shown, the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 are both arranged with the axis perpendicular to the X direction of the vehicle body. One end of the first connecting rod 1 is connected with the handrail box and can rotate about the first axis. The first connecting structure connects the other end of the first connecting rod 1 and the base plate 3. One end of the second connecting rod 2 is connected with the handrail box and can rotate about the second axis. The second connecting structure connects the other end of the second connecting rod 2 and the base plate 3. The first connecting structure comprises a first mounting block 31 and a first rotating shaft. The first mounting block 31 is fixed with the base plate 3. The axis of the first rotating shaft is parallel to the X direction of the vehicle body. The two ends of the first rotating shaft are rotatably connected with the first connecting rod 1 and the first mounting block 31 respectively. The first rotating shaft can rotate with the first connecting rod 1 to be coaxial with the second axis. The third axis is the axis of the first rotating shaft. The second connecting structure comprises a second mounting block 32 and a second rotating shaft. The second mounting block 32 is fixed with the base plate 3. The axis of the second rotating shaft is parallel to the X direction of the vehicle body. The two ends of the second rotating shaft are rotatably connected with the second connecting rod 2 and the second mounting block 32 respectively. The second rotating shaft can rotate with the second connecting rod 2 to be coaxial with the first axis. The fourth axis is the axis of the second rotating shaft.

[0067] With reference to Figures 1-3As shown, when the first link 1 rotates to the third axis coincides with the second axis and the second link 2 rotates to the fourth axis coincides with the first axis, the base plate 3 and the connected armrest cover are in the closed state. In order to keep the armrest cover in this state as a stable elbow support, a first locking structure 4 is arranged between the first link 1 and the armrest box, which is used to limit the rotation of the first link 1 around the first axis when the third axis coincides with the second axis, and the first locking structure 4 can release the limitation of the first link 1. A second locking structure 5 is arranged between the second link 2 and the armrest box, which is used to limit the rotation of the second link 2 around the second axis when the fourth axis coincides with the first axis, and the second locking structure 5 can release the limitation of the second link 2.

[0068] Referring to Figures 2-3 As shown, the first locking structure 4 includes a first lock hole 42 arranged on the armrest box and a first lock rod 41 connected to the first link 1 and movable relative to the first link 1 along the direction of the third axis. When the third axis coincides with the second axis, the first lock rod 41 can be moved to insert into the first lock hole 42 to limit the rotation of the first lock rod 41 around the first axis. The second locking structure 5 includes a second lock hole 52 arranged on the armrest box and a second lock rod 51 connected to the second link 2 and movable relative to the second link 2 along the direction of the fourth axis. When the fourth axis coincides with the first axis, the second lock rod 51 can be moved to insert into the second lock hole 52 to limit the rotation of the second lock rod 51 around the second axis.

[0069] Referring to Figures 2-3 As shown, further, in order to automatically pop open the armrest cover when the first locking structure 4 or the second locking structure 5 is in the unlocked state, a first elastic member 6 is arranged between the base plate 3 and the first link 1, and a second elastic member 7 is arranged between the base plate 3 and the second link 2. When the base plate 3 rotates with the first link 1 from the state that the third axis does not coincide with the second axis to the state that the third axis coincides with the second axis, the base plate 3 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic member 7. When the base plate 3 rotates with the second link 2 from the state that the fourth axis does not coincide with the first axis to the state that the fourth axis coincides with the first axis, the base plate 3 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 6.

[0070] Specifically, the first elastic member 6 and the second elastic member 7 are torsion springs, the first elastic member 6 is coaxially sleeved outside the first rotating shaft and connected with the first mounting block 31 and the first connecting rod 1 at two ends, and the second elastic member 7 is coaxially sleeved outside the second rotating shaft and connected with the second mounting block 32 and the second connecting rod 2 at two ends. When the first connecting rod 1 rotates to the third axis coinciding with the second axis, the second elastic member 7 is in an elastic deformation state, at this time, the first elastic member 6 can be inserted into the first lock hole 42 to resist the elastic force of the first elastic member 6 to make the first connecting rod 1 remain in this state, and when the first lock rod 41 is separated from the first lock hole 42, the first lock rod 41 and the base plate 3 can rotate to an open state under the elastic force of the second elastic member 7, that is, the armrest cover can be automatically opened. Similarly, when the fourth axis coincides with the first axis, the first elastic member 6 is in an elastic deformation state, at this time, the second lock rod 51 can be inserted into the second lock hole 52 to resist the elastic force of the first elastic member 6, and when the second lock rod 51 is separated from the second lock hole 52, the base plate 3 and the second lock rod 51 can rotate under the elastic force of the first elastic member 6, and the armrest cover is automatically opened. Therefore, the first elastic member 6 and the second elastic member 7 can realize the function of automatically opening the armrest cover.

Since the base plate 3 needs to be rotatable relative to the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2, in order to avoid the first driving assembly 8 and the second driving assembly 9 affecting this function, the first lock rod 41 is arranged coaxially with the third axis and rotatable relative to the first connecting rod 1 about the axis of the first lock rod 41, and the second lock rod 51 is arranged coaxially with the fourth axis and rotatable relative to the second connecting rod 2 about the axis of the second lock rod 51.

[0074] Referring to Figures 4-6 As shown, in the embodiment, the plane of the substrate 3 is parallel to the plane formed by the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis, the moving direction of the first driving member 81 and the second driving member 91 is parallel to the plane of the substrate 3, and the first driving member 81 and the second driving member 91 are distributed in a direction parallel to the plane of the substrate 3 and perpendicular to the third axis.

[0075] Specifically, the first driving member 81 comprises a first driving block, the second driving member 91 comprises a second driving block, the first connecting member 82 comprises a first connecting block which is fixedly connected with the first locking rod 41, and the second connecting member 92 comprises a second connecting block which is fixedly connected with the second locking rod 51.

[0076] Referring to Figures 5-6 As shown, the first driving structure comprises a first driving slot 811 and a first driving column, the first driving slot 811 is opened on the first driving block, the first driving slot 811 is opened in a direction parallel to the plane of the substrate 3, and the two ends of the extension direction of the first driving slot 811 are distributed in the third axis direction and in the moving direction of the first driving member 81, the first driving column is embedded in the first driving slot 811 and fixed with the first connecting block, so that when the first driving block moves, the first driving column can be driven to move in the third axis direction through the first driving slot 811, so as to drive the first locking rod 41 to move in the third axis direction. The second driving structure comprises a second driving slot 911 and a second driving column, the second driving slot 911 is opened on the second driving block, the second driving slot 911 is opened in a direction parallel to the plane of the substrate 3, and the two ends of the extension direction of the second driving slot 911 are distributed in the third axis direction and in the moving direction of the second driving member 91, the second driving column is embedded in the second driving slot 911 and fixed with the second connecting block, so that when the second driving block moves, the second driving column can be driven to move in the third axis direction through the second driving slot 911, so as to drive the second locking rod 51 to move in the third axis direction.

[0077] In the embodiment, the first driving block is connected with a button penetrating the armrest cover at one end away from the second driving block, and the second driving block is connected with a button penetrating the armrest cover at one end away from the first driving block. The first driving slot 811 and the second driving slot 911 are arranged such that when the first driving block moves towards the second driving block, the first locking rod 41 is driven to move towards the direction of disengaging from the first locking hole 42, and when the second driving block moves towards the first driving block, the second locking rod 51 is driven to move towards the direction of disengaging from the second locking hole 52. In this way, when it is needed to unlock the armrest cover, a person can press the button to move the first driving block or the second driving block, so as to move the first locking rod 41 or the second locking rod 51 to unlock the armrest cover.

[0078] Referring to Figures 4-6 Further, the first driving member 81 includes a locking state in which the first locking rod 41 is moved to be inserted into the first locking hole 42, and an unlocking state in which the first locking rod 41 is moved to be disengaged from the first locking hole 42, and the second driving member 91 includes a locking state in which the second locking rod 51 is moved to be inserted into the second locking hole 52, and an unlocking state in which the second locking rod 51 is moved to be disengaged from the second locking hole 52. The first driving assembly 8 further includes a third elastic member 83 arranged between the first driving member 81 and the base plate 3, and when the first driving member 81 is moved from the locking state to the unlocking state, the third elastic member 83 is overcome by the elastic force. The second driving assembly 9 further includes a fourth elastic member 93 arranged between the second driving member 91 and the base plate 3, and when the second driving member 91 is moved from the locking state to the unlocking state, the fourth elastic member 93 is overcome by the elastic force. When the first driving member 81 is moved to the unlocking state by pressing the button, the third elastic member 83 is overcome by the elastic force, and when the second driving member 91 is moved to the unlocking state by pressing the button, the fourth elastic member 93 is overcome by the elastic force. After the button is released, the first driving member 81 is reset to the locking state by the elastic force of the third elastic member 83, and the second driving member 91 is reset to the locking state by the elastic force of the fourth elastic member 93. When the armrest cover is closed, the first locking rod 41 can be automatically inserted into the first locking hole 42 by the third elastic member 83, and the second locking rod 51 can be automatically inserted into the second locking hole 52 by the fourth elastic member 93, so as to quickly lock the armrest cover. In the embodiment, the third elastic member 83 and the fourth elastic member 93 are both compression springs, the axis of the third elastic member 83 is parallel to the moving direction of the first driving member 81, and the axis of the fourth elastic member 93 is parallel to the moving direction of the second elastic member 7.

[0079] Referring to Figures 4-6As shown, further, the third locking rod 10 and the fourth locking rod 101 are arranged on the substrate 3 and can move relative to the substrate 3 along the third axis direction. The first connecting rod 1 is provided with a third locking hole 11 for cooperating with the third locking rod 10, and the second connecting rod 2 is provided with a fourth locking hole 21 for cooperating with the fourth locking rod 101. When the substrate 3 rotates with the first connecting rod 1 around the first axis, the third locking rod 10 is inserted into the third locking hole 11 on the first connecting rod 1 to limit the rotation of the substrate 3 relative to the first connecting rod 1. When the substrate 3 rotates with the second connecting rod 2 around the second axis, the fourth locking rod 101 is inserted into the fourth locking hole 21 to limit the rotation of the substrate 3 relative to the second connecting rod 2.

[0080] The first driving assembly 8 is further configured to drive the fourth locking rod 101 to move, and the second driving assembly 9 is further configured to drive the third locking rod 10 to move. The first driving assembly 8 simultaneously drives the first locking rod 41 and the fourth locking rod 101 to move, so that the first locking rod 41 is inserted into the first locking hole 42 and the fourth locking rod 101 is inserted into the fourth locking hole 21, or the first locking rod 41 is separated from the first locking hole 42 and the fourth locking rod 101 is separated from the fourth locking hole 21. The second driving assembly 9 simultaneously drives the second locking rod 51 and the third locking rod 10 to move, so that the second locking rod 51 is inserted into the second locking hole 52 and the third locking rod 10 is inserted into the third locking hole 11, or the second locking rod 51 is separated from the second locking hole 52 and the third locking rod 10 is separated from the third locking hole 11.

[0081] Referring to Figures 4-6 Specifically, the first locking rod 41 and the fourth locking rod 101 are arranged on both sides of the first driving member 81, and the first driving member 81 is further provided with a fourth driving groove 812. Correspondingly, the fourth driving column connected to the fourth locking rod 101 is embedded in the fourth driving groove 812, so that the first driving member 81 moves synchronously to drive the first locking rod 41 and the fourth locking rod 101 to move close to or away from each other. The third locking rod 10 and the second locking rod 51 are arranged on both sides of the second driving member 91, and the second driving member 91 is further provided with a third driving groove 912. Correspondingly, the third driving column connected to the third locking rod 10 is embedded in the third driving groove 912, so that the second driving member 91 moves synchronously to drive the second locking rod 51 and the third locking rod 10 to move. Thus, when the armrest cover is opened to one side by rotating with one connecting rod, the other side is locked and the substrate 3 and the other connecting rod are fixed at the same time, so as to improve the stability of the armrest cover when it is opened.

[0082] Further, the first driving member 81 and the second driving member 91 are configured to limit the movement of the second driving member 91 to the unlocking state when the first driving member 81 is in the unlocking state, and limit the movement of the first driving member 81 to the unlocking state when the second driving member 91 is in the unlocking state. That is, when the first driving member 81 drives the first locking rod 41 to disengage from the first locking hole 42, the second locking rod 51 cannot move to disengage from the second locking hole 52, and vice versa. When the armrest cover is flipped open on one side, the other side is locked and cannot be opened. Specifically, the first driving member 81 is configured to abut against the second driving member 91 when in the unlocking state, thereby limiting the movement of the second driving member 91 to the unlocking state. Correspondingly, the second driving member 91 is configured to abut against the first driving member 81 when in the unlocking state, thereby limiting the movement of the first driving member 81 to the unlocking state.

[0083] With reference to Figures 7-8 To achieve the above functions, the first driving assembly 8 further comprises a first limiting structure disposed between the first driving member 81 and the base plate 3. The first limiting structure is adapted to limit the movement of the first driving member 81 to the locking state when the third axis and the second axis are not coincident and the first driving member 81 is in the unlocking state, and is adapted to release the limitation of the first driving member 81 by the first limiting structure when the first connecting rod 1 rotates from the state where the third axis and the second axis are not coincident to the state where the third axis and the second axis are coincident, through the first unlocking structure on the armrest box. The second driving assembly 9 further comprises a second limiting structure disposed between the second driving member 91 and the base plate 3. The second limiting structure is adapted to limit the movement of the second driving member 91 to the locking state when the fourth axis and the first axis are not coincident and the second driving member 91 is in the unlocking state, and is adapted to release the limitation of the second driving member 91 by the second limiting structure when the second connecting rod 2 rotates from the state where the fourth axis and the first axis are not coincident to the state where the fourth axis and the first axis are coincident, through the second unlocking structure on the armrest box.

[0084] The first limiting structure and the second limiting structure can make the handrail cover open on one side and be locked on the other side, thereby improving the stability of the handrail cover when it is opened. Meanwhile, when the handrail cover is opened around the first axis, the first lock rod 41 is kept in a state of being unable to be inserted into the first lock hole 42, and the first lock rod 41 does not affect the closing action of the handrail cover in the opened state. Correspondingly, when the handrail cover is opened around the second axis, the second lock rod 51 is kept in a state of being unable to be inserted into the second lock hole 52, and the second lock rod 51 does not affect the closing action of the handrail cover. The first unlocking structure and the second unlocking structure on the handrail box can release the restriction of the first limiting structure on the first driving member 81 when the handrail cover is closed, so that the first driving member 81 can be moved to the locking state under the elastic force of the third elastic member 83, and the first lock rod 41 can be automatically inserted into the first lock hole 42 to lock the handrail cover. Similarly, the second limiting structure and the second unlocking structure can make the second lock rod 51 automatically inserted into the second lock hole 52 to lock the handrail cover when the handrail cover is closed.

[0085] Referring to Figure 7 Specifically, the first limiting structure includes a first elastic portion 84, a first limiting portion 841 and a second limiting portion 33. The first elastic portion 84 is connected to the first driving member 81, the first limiting portion 841 is arranged on the first elastic portion 84, and the second limiting portion 33 is arranged on the base plate 3. In the undeformed state of the first elastic portion 84, the projections of the first limiting portion 841 and the second limiting portion 33 in the moving direction of the first driving member 81 intersect. The first elastic portion 84 can be elastically deformed to make the projections of the first limiting portion 841 and the second limiting portion 33 in the moving direction of the first driving member 81 not intersect. When the first driving member 81 moves from the locking state to the unlocking state, the second limiting portion 33 and the first limiting portion 841 cooperate to drive the first elastic portion 84 to elastically deform, so that the first limiting portion 841 moves from one side of the second limiting portion 33 to the other side. When the first driving member 81 is in the unlocking state and is restricted by the first limiting portion 841 and the second limiting portion 33 from moving to the locking state, and the first connecting rod 1 rotates from the state that the third axis and the second axis do not coincide to the state that the third axis and the second axis coincide, the first elastic portion 84 is deformed by the first unlocking structure on the handrail box to make the projections of the first limiting portion 841 and the second limiting portion 33 in the moving direction of the first driving member 81 not intersect, thereby releasing the restriction of the first limiting portion 841 and the second limiting portion 33 on the movement of the first driving member 81.

[0086] Referring to Figure 7As shown, specifically, the first elastic part 84 is arranged to extend along the moving direction of the first driving member 81, one end of the first elastic part 84 is fixed to the first driving member 81, and the other end is deformable towards the direction of approaching or moving away from the plane of the substrate 3, the first limiting part 841 is arranged on the side of the first elastic part 84 close to the substrate 3, and the second limiting part 33 is arranged on the side of the substrate 3 close to the first elastic part 84, the side of the first limiting part 841 towards the second driving member 91 and the side of the second limiting part 33 moving away from the second driving member 91 are arranged as inclined surfaces, and the side of the first limiting part 841 moving away from the second driving member 91 and the side of the second limiting part 33 towards the second driving member 91 are arranged as planes perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 3, when the first driving member 81 moves towards the unlocking state, the first limiting part 841 and the second limiting part 33 are relatively movable and the first elastic part 84 is elastically deformed by the cooperation of the inclined surfaces on the first limiting part 841 and the second limiting part 33, so that the first limiting part 841 can move to the other side of the second limiting part 33, and when the first driving member 81 moves towards the locking state, the planes of the first limiting part 841 and the second limiting part 33 abut, thereby limiting the movement of the first driving member 81.

[0087] Referring to Figure 7 As shown, further, a first elastic wire 85 is arranged on the first driving member 81 and arranged along the third axis direction, one end of the first elastic wire 85 is fixed to the first driving member 81, and the other end extends to the side of the first elastic part 84 moving away from the substrate 3, and the first elastic part 84 deforms away from the substrate 3 against the elastic force of the first elastic wire 85, when the first driving member 81 moves to the unlocking state, the first limiting part 841 moves to the side of the second limiting part 33 close to the second driving member 91, at this time, the first elastic part 84 is reset under the action of its own elastic force and the elastic force of the first elastic wire 85, so that the projections of the first limiting part 841 and the second limiting part 33 in the moving direction of the first driving member 81 intersect, thereby ensuring that the first limiting part 841 and the second limiting part 33 can enter the state of limiting the movement of the first driving member 81.

[0088] Referring to Figure 9As shown, further, the first unlocking structure is formed by the armrest box side wall, and a first unlocking column 842 is connected to one end of the first elastic part 84, extends through the base plate 3 to a side of the base plate 3 away from the first elastic part 84, and corresponds to a groove provided on the base plate 3 for the first unlocking column 842 to pass through and move with the first driving member 81. When the armrest cover is rotated to the open state around the first axis, the first driving member 81 is in the unlocked state, and the first limiting part 841 and the second limiting part 33 cooperate to limit the movement of the first driving member 81 to the locked state. During the closing process of the armrest cover, the first unlocking column 842 is abutted against the armrest box side wall, moves away from the armrest box through the armrest box side wall, and moves the first elastic part 84 away from the base plate 3 through the first unlocking column 842, until the projections of the first limiting part 841 and the second limiting part 33 in the movement direction of the first driving member 81 do not intersect, at which time the armrest cover is rotated to a state where the third axis and the second axis are coaxial, the first limiting part 841 and the second limiting part 33 are out of the abutment state, and the first driving member 81 moves to the locked state under the elastic force of the third elastic member 83. The first locking rod 41 is driven to be inserted into the first lock hole 42 to lock the first connecting rod 1, thereby locking the armrest cover.

[0089] Referring to Figure 8 As shown, the second limiting structure includes a second elastic part 94, a third limiting part 941, and a fourth limiting part 34. The second elastic part 94 is connected to the second driving member 91, the third limiting part 941 is provided on the second elastic part 94, and the fourth limiting part 34 is provided on the base plate 3. In the undeformed state of the second elastic part 94, the projections of the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 in the movement direction of the first driving member 81 intersect, and the second elastic part 94 can be elastically deformed until the projections of the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 in the movement direction of the second driving member 91 do not intersect. When the second driving member 91 moves from the locked state to the unlocked state, the fourth limiting part 34 and the third limiting part 941 cooperate to drive the second elastic part 94 to elastically deform, so that the third limiting part 941 moves from one side of the fourth limiting part 34 to the other side. When the first driving member 81 is in the unlocked state and is limited by the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 to move to the locked state, and the second connecting rod 2 rotates from the state where the fourth axis and the first axis are not coaxial to the state where they are coaxial, the second elastic part 94 is deformed by the second unlocking structure on the armrest box until the projections of the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 in the movement direction of the second driving member 91 do not intersect, so as to release the limitation of the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 on the movement of the second driving member 91.

[0090] Referring to Figure 8As shown, specifically, the second elastic part 94 is arranged to extend along the moving direction of the second driving member 91, one end of the second elastic part 94 is fixed to the second driving member 91, and the other end is deformable towards the direction of approaching or moving away from the plane of the substrate 3, the third limiting part 941 is arranged on the side of the second elastic part 94 close to the substrate 3, the fourth limiting part 34 is arranged on the side of the substrate 3 close to the second elastic part 94, the side of the third limiting part 941 towards the first driving member 81 and the side of the fourth limiting part 34 moving away from the first driving member 81 are arranged as inclined surfaces, and the side of the third limiting part 941 moving away from the first driving member 81 and the side of the fourth limiting part 34 towards the first driving member 81 are arranged as planes perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 3. When the second driving member 91 moves towards the unlocking state, the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 are relatively movable and the second elastic part 94 is elastically deformed by the cooperation of the inclined surfaces on the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34, so that the third limiting part 941 can move to the other side of the fourth limiting part 34. When the second driving member 91 moves towards the locking state, the planes of the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 abut, thereby limiting the movement of the second driving member 91.

[0091] Referring to Figure 8 As shown, further, a second elastic wire 95 is arranged on the second driving member 91 and arranged along the third axis direction, one end of the second elastic wire 95 is fixed to the second driving member 91, and the other end extends to the side of the second elastic part 94 moving away from the substrate 3. When the second elastic part 94 deforms away from the substrate 3, the elastic force of the second elastic wire 95 is overcome. When the second driving member 91 moves to the unlocking state, the third limiting part 941 moves to the side of the fourth limiting part 34 close to the first driving member 81. At this time, the second elastic part 94 is reset under the elastic force of itself and the elastic force of the second elastic wire 95, so that the projections of the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 in the moving direction of the second driving member 91 intersect, thereby ensuring that the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 can enter the state of limiting the movement of the second driving member 91.

[0092] Further, the second unlocking structure is also formed by the armrest box side wall. One end of the second elastic part 94 is connected with a second unlocking column 942. The second unlocking column 942 extends through the base plate 3 to the side of the base plate 3 away from the second elastic part 94. A groove is arranged on the base plate 3 for the second unlocking column 942 to pass through and move with the second driving member 91. When the armrest cover rotates to the open state around the second axis, the second driving member 91 is in the unlocking state, and the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 cooperate to limit the movement of the second driving member 91 to the locking state. During the closing process of the armrest cover, the second unlocking column 942 is abutted against the armrest box side wall. The second unlocking column 942 is moved away from the armrest box by the armrest box side wall. The second elastic part 94 is moved away from the base plate 3 by the second unlocking column 942. When the projection of the third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 in the movement direction of the second driving member 91 does not intersect, the armrest cover is rotated to the state that the third axis and the second axis are coaxial. The third limiting part 941 and the fourth limiting part 34 are in the abutment state. The second driving member 91 moves to the locking state under the elastic force of the fourth elastic part 93. The second locking rod 51 is driven to be inserted into the second lock hole 52 to lock the second connecting rod 2, so as to lock the armrest cover.
