Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, and in particular to a rear center armrest of an automobile seat with a rotating and folding cup holder. Background Art
[0002] The middle armrest in the rear row serves as the backrest of the middle seat after it is folded. In order to facilitate rear passengers to place cups during riding, a cup holder is provided inside the middle armrest. The height of the cup holder needs to meet certain requirements to prevent the cups placed therein from tipping over. Therefore, the bottom of the cup holder is closer to the outer surface of the armrest after it is folded, resulting in a thinner foam thickness in this area. The back is prone to feel hard objects when riding, affecting the comfort of the seat. For example, Chinese patent CN203698056U discloses a foldable cup holder for the middle armrest of a rear seat in a car, including a fixing frame, a fixing frame cover, a flip baffle, a cup holder and a cup holder cover. The cup holder is relatively thin, but has problems such as complex structure, high cost, and low strength. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a rear center armrest of a car seat with a rotating and folding cup holder, which is used to increase the thickness of the foam between the bottom of the cup holder and the outer surface of the armrest, reduce the hard feeling when riding, and improve the comfort of the seat, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art.
[0004] The present invention provides a rear middle armrest of a car seat with a rotating and folding cup holder, comprising: a rear middle armrest body, and a cup holder provided on the rear middle armrest body. The improvement made is that the cup holder is a rotating and folding cup holder, and the rotating and folding cup holder comprises: a fixed cup holder and a movable cup holder, the fixed cup holder is embedded in the cup holder installation cavity of the rear middle armrest body, the movable cup holder is slidably connected in the fixed cup holder, and at least one group of guide grooves is arranged on the inner wall of the fixed cup holder, and one group of the guide grooves comprises: a vertical guide groove provided along the vertical direction; A groove and a horizontal guide groove opened in the horizontal direction, the horizontal guide groove is flush with the top position of the vertical guide groove and is connected with the vertical guide groove, a guide block is arranged on the outer wall of the moving cup holder, the guide block slides in the vertical guide groove and the horizontal guide groove, when the rear middle armrest body is opened and the cup holder needs to be used, the moving cup holder is vertically lifted to make the guide block of the moving cup holder slide upward to the top position in the vertical guide groove, and then the moving cup holder is rotated to make the guide block of the moving cup holder slide into the horizontal guide groove, thereby fixing the moving cup holder at the upper position of the fixed cup holder.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two rotating and folding cup holders are provided on the rear middle armrest body.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two groups of guide grooves are arranged on the inner wall of the fixed cup holder.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top height of the dynamic cup holder after being placed on the fixed cup holder is the same as the upper surface height of the rear center armrest body.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal guide groove and the vertical guide groove are in a rectangular shape.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide block is spherical.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the rotating foldable cup holder of the present invention can reduce the overall height of the cup holder, thereby increasing the thickness of the foam between the bottom of the cup holder and the outer surface of the armrest, reducing the hard feeling when sitting, and improving the comfort of the seat. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0011] By referring to the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and with a more comprehensive understanding of the present invention, other objects and results of the present invention will become more apparent and easy to understand. In the accompanying drawings:
[0012] Figure 1 It is a cross-sectional view of the overall structure of this embodiment.
[0013] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the cup holder of this embodiment after opening.
[0014] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the local structure of the guide groove of this embodiment.
[0015] The reference numerals include: rear center armrest body 1 , fixed cup holder 2 , movable cup holder 3 , vertical guide groove 4 , horizontal guide groove 5 , guide block 6 . DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, the embodiment provides a rear middle armrest of a car seat with a rotating and folding cup holder, comprising: a rear middle armrest body 1, two symmetrically arranged rotating and folding cup holders opened on the rear middle armrest body 1, the rotating and folding cup holder comprising: a fixed cup holder 2 and a moving cup holder 3, the fixed cup holder 2 is embedded in the cup holder installation cavity of the rear middle armrest body 1, the moving cup holder 3 is slidably connected in the fixed cup holder 1, two groups of guide grooves are arranged on the inner wall of the fixed cup holder 2, the two groups of guide grooves respectively include: a vertical guide groove 4 opened in the vertical direction and a horizontal guide groove 5 opened in the horizontal direction, the horizontal guide groove 5 is flush with the top position of the vertical guide groove 4 and is connected to the vertical guide groove 4, and a guide block 6 is arranged on the outer wall of the moving cup holder 3, and the guide block 6 slides in the vertical guide groove 4 and the horizontal guide groove 5. The top height of the moving cup holder after being placed on the fixed cup holder is the same as the upper surface height of the rear middle armrest body. The horizontal guide groove 4 and the vertical guide groove 5 are rectangular in shape. The guide block 6 is spherical.
[0017] Working principle: When the armrest is in the folded state, the movable cup holder 3 is retracted into the fixed cup holder 2. When the armrest is opened and the cup holder needs to be used, the movable cup holder 3 can be lifted vertically to make the guide block 6 slide up to the end in the vertical guide groove 4, and then the fixed cup holder 2 is rotated to make the guide block 6 slide to the end in the horizontal guide groove 5, thereby fixing the movable cup holder 3. The retracting action of the movable cup holder 3 is opposite to the above steps.
[0018] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
