Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicles, in particular to an armrest component for a vehicle, an interior component for a vehicle and a corresponding vehicle. Background Art

[0002] As vehicles enter thousands of households, higher requirements are placed on vehicle comfort.

[0003] In the case of morning and evening rush hours with traffic congestion, the driver and passengers need to sit in the vehicle for a long time, and the vehicle may be in a stop-and-go state for a long time. Therefore, when the vehicle moves slowly or stops temporarily, the driver and passengers may lean their arms on the interior trim on the inside of the door, such as the door panel armrest, or on the center console of the vehicle or the center armrest of the rear seat. In addition, in a vehicle with an automatic driving function, the driver does not need to hold the steering wheel for a long time, so the driver will also lean his arms on the interior trim on the inside of the door to relax.

[0004] However, these parts of the vehicle interior parts are usually constructed of relatively hard structural parts. Therefore, when the driver and the passenger put their arms on these parts to rest, the driver and the passenger will feel uncomfortable, especially at the elbow joints.

[0005] In addition, when the outside environment is cold, if the temperature inside the vehicle is low, the driver and passengers may feel uncomfortable when leaning on these cold parts. When the temperature inside the vehicle is high, the driver and passengers' arms may sweat due to direct contact with these parts, which may also make the driver and passengers feel uncomfortable.

[0006] Therefore, there is still a need for improvement in the prior art to address at least some of the above issues. Summary of the invention

[0007] Based on this, the present invention proposes an efficient solution, which can not only overcome the deficiencies in the prior art solutions, but also can particularly simply install and disassemble the armrest, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0091] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0092] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of a vehicle 1 according to the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the vehicle 1 is configured as a passenger car and is an electric vehicle, in particular, a vehicle 1 having an L2 level or higher autonomous driving function.

[0093] exist Figure 1, the XYZ coordinate system is also shown, wherein the X direction represents the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1, that is, the forward driving direction of the vehicle 1, the Y direction represents the lateral direction of the vehicle 1, that is, transverse to the forward driving direction of the vehicle 1, and the Z direction represents the vertical direction of the vehicle 1.

[0094] Figure 2 Show Figure 1 1 is a partial view of a vehicle 1 , wherein an armrest component 2 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is arranged on an interior component 3 of the vehicle 1 .

[0095] In this embodiment, the interior trim 3 is shown as a door interior trim. The interior trim 3 includes an operating platform for operating vehicle components, such as a lifting window, and a door inner panel. The operating platform can be connected with the door inner panel and protrude inward along the Y direction to form a longitudinal platform along the X direction. The passenger or driver can lean their arms on the interior trim 3 to operate the corresponding function buttons and can also lean their arms on the interior trim 3 when they are tired.

[0096] In other embodiments, the interior trim component 3 may also be a central console of the vehicle 1 and / or a central armrest of rear seats.

[0097] For example, when the vehicle 1 is driving in an automatic driving mode, the driver does not need to hold the steering wheel for a long time and can put his arm on the interior component 3 for a long time, or the passenger can put his arm on the interior component 3 for a long time when resting during the ride. However, since the material of the interior component 3 is relatively hard, the passenger or the driver may feel tired and uncomfortable.

[0098] For this reason, Figure 2 As shown, a detachable armrest 2 is arranged on the interior trim 3. The armrest 2 can be arranged on the interior trim 3 in a fixed position, and the passenger or driver can directly rest his arm on the armrest 2 and thus indirectly support the interior trim 3, thereby improving the comfort of the arm.

[0101] According to this embodiment, the armrest member 2 includes an armrest pad 21. Exemplarily, the armrest pad 21 is rectangular and includes a flexible cushion and a cover covering the cushion. According to this embodiment, the cover is made of leather. Of course, the armrest pad 21 can also be configured in any shape, and the cover can also be made of other materials, such as nylon cloth.

[0102] According to one embodiment, a personalized pattern is designed on the outerwear, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0103] According to one embodiment, the cushion of the armrest pad 21 is made of memory foam, which can not only provide sufficient support but also adjust the height of the cushion and adapt to different sizes of users' arms.

[0104] In order to arrange the armrest member 2 on the interior component 3, the armrest member 2 further includes a connecting portion 22. The connecting portion 22 is arranged on the bottom of the armrest pad 21. The connecting portion 22 and the receiving portion 31 constructed on the interior component 3 can establish a detachable connection. When the armrest pad 21 is arranged on the interior component 3 (see also Figure 2 ), the user of the vehicle 1, such as the driver or the passenger, cannot see the connection portion 22 from the outside. Therefore, the armrest member 2 according to this embodiment is not only convenient for the user to install and remove, but also realizes the aesthetic appearance after the armrest pad 21 is installed.

[0105] In the present invention, “detachably arranged” is to be understood as manually separating two components in a non-destructive manner without tools, for example, removing the armrest component 2 from the interior component 3 in this embodiment.

[0106] The connecting portion 22 includes at least one first connecting belt 23 fixedly connected to the outer cover. The first connecting belt 23 includes a fixed end 231 fixedly connected to the armrest pad 21 or the bottom side of the outer cover and a free end 232 detachably fixed to the bottom of the interior trim 3.

[0107] like Figure 4 As shown, the receiving portion 31 is configured as a through-hole, which extends through the interior trim 3 in the thickness direction or Z direction. The first connecting strip 23 can extend through the through-hole to the bottom side of the interior trim 3, wherein a locking connection is formed between the free end 232 of the first connecting strip 23 and the bottom side of the interior trim 3.

[0108] In this embodiment, two pairs of first connecting bands 23 are exemplarily provided. For the sake of clarity, only the specific components of one pair of first connecting bands 23 and the corresponding figure marks are shown. The two pairs of connecting bands are arranged spaced apart from each other along the X direction, and the two first connecting bands 23 of each pair of connecting bands are arranged spaced apart from each other along the Y direction. Correspondingly, two pairs of through openings are constructed on the interior trim 3, and the two pairs of through openings are arranged spaced apart from each other along the X direction, and the two through openings of each pair of through openings are arranged spaced apart from each other along the Y direction. The free end 232 of one first connecting band 23 in each pair of connecting bands is detachably fixed to the bottom of the interior trim 3, and the free end 232 of the other first connecting band 23 is detachably fixed to the one first connecting band 23 via the receiving portion 31, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 shown.

[0109] According to one embodiment, a snap-fit ​​portion 233 is provided on the free end 232 , and the snap-fit ​​portion 233 establishes a locking connection with a corresponding snap-fit ​​portion 311 provided on the bottom side of the interior trim 3 .

[0110] Through this embodiment, not only can the armrest part 2 be installed, removed or replaced particularly simply, but also the accurate positioning of the armrest part 2 on the interior trim part 3 can be reliably ensured, and a luxurious and beautiful appearance can be ensured.

[0111] Of course, it is also possible to consider arranging other locking structures, such as a buckle portion or a hook portion, on the free end 232 to achieve a corresponding locking connection. Therefore, a buckle fitting portion or a hook fitting portion is also correspondingly arranged on the bottom side of the interior trim 3.

[0112] According to one embodiment, the first connecting belt 23 is configured as an elastic connecting belt. Therefore, the armrest member 2 can be adapted to interior decoration members 3 of different specifications, sizes and shapes through the elastic expansion and contraction of the elastic connecting belt.

[0113] Figure 6 A schematic diagram shows another exemplary embodiment of an interior trim part 3 of a vehicle 1 according to the present invention, wherein an armrest part 2 according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention is arranged on the interior trim part 3 .

[0114] and Figure 5 The embodiment of the present invention is different in that the armrest pad 21 further includes a ventilation structure 26. The ventilation structure 26 is exemplarily configured as a ventilation hole extending through the armrest pad 21 in the thickness direction or in the Z direction. For the sake of clarity, only one ventilation structure is marked with the reference numeral "26". In addition, the interior trim 3 includes a ventilation device 34 for ventilating the armrest member 2 and a ventilation channel 35 leading to the upper surface of the interior trim 3.

[0115] like Figure 6As shown, according to one embodiment, the ventilation device 34 is configured as a fan, which is arranged in the door inner panel of the vehicle 1, and the ventilation channel 35 is configured in the interior trim 3 and includes a main channel 351 extending along the Y direction and a branch channel 352 branching from the main channel 351 and extending upward along the Z direction. Therefore, the air flow provided by the fan flows from the main channel 351 via the branch channel 352 toward the armrest pad 21 and flows to the ventilation hole of the armrest pad 21. Therefore, when the user's arm is placed on the armrest pad 21, the part where the arm contacts the armrest pad 21 can be ventilated, so that the user will not feel stuffy and even sweat when placing on the armrest pad 21. This further improves the comfort of the user.

[0116] Of course, the ventilation device 34 may be omitted and the air flow may be provided by utilizing the cooling air of the air conditioning system of the vehicle 1 , which can be achieved by modifying the corresponding fluid passages.

[0117] In addition, according to this embodiment, the armrest pad 21 includes a heating portion 27 therein, and the heating portion 27 is used to heat at least the portion where the user's arm contacts the armrest pad 21. This improves the comfort of the user's arm when resting on the armrest pad in cold winter when the temperature inside the vehicle is low or when the temperature of the interior trim 3 is low.

[0118] According to one embodiment, the heating portion 27 is configured as an electric heating wire, and a low-voltage power source for providing energy to the heating wire is correspondingly arranged in the armrest pad 21 .

The second connecting strip 24 is arranged in the edge region of the bottom side of the armrest part 2, away from the first connecting strip 23.

[0121] Correspondingly, at least one further receiving portion 32 is also configured on the interior trim 3, which is arranged at an angle to the receiving portion 31, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 shown.

[0122] In this embodiment, two second connecting strips 24 are provided by way of example. Accordingly, two further receiving portions 32 are configured on the interior trim component 3 , which are arranged spaced apart from each other in the X direction and are at the same height in the Z direction.

[0123] The additional connection portion 32 is configured as a groove and a bridge portion 321 is provided at the groove opening. The bridge portion 321 divides the groove opening into two parts, an upper part and an lower part. One end of the second connection belt 24 is fixedly connected to the armrest 2, and the other end passes through the upper opening, bypasses the bridge portion 321, passes through the lower opening and is fixed to the armrest 2, forming a locking connection.

[0124] This also provides corresponding comfort when the user rests his arm on, for example, the inner door panel.

[0125] For example, the second connecting belt 24 is also configured as an elastic connecting belt, so that the armrest component 2 can be adapted to interior components 3 of different specifications, sizes and shapes through the elastic expansion and contraction of the elastic connecting belt.

[0135] According to this embodiment, the size of the bracket 25 is smaller than the size of the groove. When the bracket 25 is engaged in the groove, when viewed along the X direction, the bracket 25 is inserted into the bayonet 312 in the groove by means of the plug-in portion 251 on one side, and is locked in the groove by means of the locking portion 33 on the other side. In this way, the armrest member 2 can be reliably fixed to the interior trim member 3.

[0136] According to one embodiment, the locking portion 33 includes an unlocking element 331 and a locking element 332. Exemplarily, the locking element 332 is configured as a spring-loaded locking tongue. The unlocking element 331 is configured as a button and the locking element 331 can be unlocked by pressing the button.

[0137] Of course, other locking parts 33 may also be considered, which are not further limited here.

[0138] and Fig.10 Similarly, the armrest pad 21 can also be fixed to the bracket 25 via its first connecting belt 23 and form a pre-assembled whole.

[0139] By means of such an armrest part 2 with the bracket 25 , the armrest part 2 can also be mounted on the interior trim part 3 with accurate positioning and reliability.
