Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, and in particular to a novel automobile flip armrest. Background Art

[0002] The car armrest box is used to provide a space for storing items in the car. In order to facilitate the driver and passengers to take and put items, the armrest box is opened by unlocking the internal locking structure. At present, the flip armrest buttons on the market are generally inconvenient to operate. The reason is that the internal opening mechanism is a direct unlocking mechanism, which makes it impossible to design the flip armrest opening button in a position that most people can easily reach.

[0003] In the Chinese utility model patent with publication number: CN219316699U, an armrest box cover and a center console armrest box are disclosed, which are intended to solve the problem that the existing center console armrest has large friction resistance and poor hand feel during the unlocking process. To this end, the armrest box cover of the present invention includes a cover body that is snapped on the top of the box body, and an unlocking mechanism, a lever transmission mechanism and a slide bar locking mechanism arranged on the cover body; wherein the lever transmission mechanism includes at least one rotating rod assembly, the rotating rod assembly is arranged at the front end and / or the rear end of the cover body, the rotating rod assembly is pivotally connected to the cover body and is pivotally connected to the slide bar locking mechanism; the unlocking mechanism is arranged on the side of the cover body, and pressing or pulling out the unlocking mechanism can drive the rotating rod assembly to rotate, thereby driving the slide bar locking mechanism to disengage from the box body to open the box body. Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the lever transmission mechanism is used to realize the transmission of force, reduce the friction resistance of the armrest during the unlocking process, increase the force transmission efficiency, and improve the user experience. The X-axis relative position of the center line of the armrest button assembly to point H of this patent is close to the back of the human body, causing inconvenience in operation. Limited by the stability of its structure (generally the upper limit of the distance from the opening button to the unlocking does not exceed 200mm), the armrest opening button cannot be designed in a position that most people can easily reach, causing great inconvenience for passengers to use.
