Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle interior technology, and in particular to a vehicle center console armrest mechanism and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] The center console armrest mechanism refers to the armrest box on the vehicle's center console, an important auxiliary device in the driver's cabin. Its main function is to provide a comfortable support point for the driver's arms, relieving arm fatigue caused by prolonged driving operations and improving driving comfort, as well as the stability and accuracy of operation.
[0003] In existing technology, the armrest of the center console armrest mechanism in a vehicle is usually used as a cover for the internal storage compartment of the center console. In terms of cabin layout, the rear area of the vehicle is only equipped with seats, and the rear seats are usually far from the air conditioning vents, so rear passengers usually cannot operate the center console armrest mechanism.
[0004] However, since the center console armrest mechanism in existing vehicles mainly serves the front passengers and driver, it has the drawback of being relatively simple in function. The rear passengers have fewer functional parts that they can reach during the ride, resulting in a lack of enjoyment. Furthermore, because the rear seats are far from the air conditioning vents, the rear passengers usually cannot enjoy the appropriate air conditioning in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides a vehicle center console armrest mechanism and a vehicle, which allows the armrest of the vehicle center console armrest mechanism to be flipped towards the rear of the vehicle compartment to form a small table that can be directly operated by rear passengers. Air conditioning air is introduced to the rear seats through the air conditioning duct and air conditioning vent in the small table, thereby not only expanding the use function of the vehicle center console armrest mechanism, but also allowing the rear passengers of the vehicle to enjoy a suitable air conditioning breeze in a timely manner, thus improving the riding experience of the rear passengers.
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a vehicle center console armrest mechanism, which includes: a center console body and an armrest portion;
[0007] The central control box has an upward-opening storage compartment. The target end of the armrest is hinged to the central control box. The armrest can be rotated around the target end to open or close the storage compartment. During the rotation of the armrest, the maximum angle between the armrest and the central control box is greater than or equal to 180 degrees. When the armrest is rotated to the maximum angle, the armrest forms a small table.
[0008] The outer surface of the armrest is provided with a support part when the armrest is flipped open, and the inner surface and / or side of the armrest is provided with a first air conditioning vent. The outer surface is the side facing away from the storage compartment, and the inner surface is the side facing the storage compartment. The inside of the armrest is provided with a first air conditioning duct, which is connected to the first air conditioning vent.

[0009] The target surface of the center console, which is covered by the flipped-out armrest, is provided with a plug hole. The plug hole is connected to the second air conditioning duct inside the center console. The plug hole is used to plug into the support part when the armrest is flipped to the maximum angle, so as to connect the internal cavity of the support part and the second air conditioning duct.
[0010] In one possible design, a dust baffle that can be flipped inwards is provided at the insertion hole in the second air conditioning duct inside the central control box. The dust baffle can block the insertion hole, and when the support is inserted into the insertion hole, the dust baffle avoids the support.
[0011] In one possible design, a magnet is installed on the inner wall of the center console, and the magnet uses magnetic force to attract the dust baffle to the inner wall of the center console.
[0012] In one possible design, the outer surface of the armrest is provided with a mounting groove, and the support can be flipped and connected to the groove wall, and the support can be completely placed in the mounting groove.
[0013] In one possible design, a connecting block is provided at each end of the mounting groove, and a third air conditioning air outlet channel communicating with the first air conditioning air outlet channel is provided inside the connecting block. A connecting pipe communicating with the internal cavity is provided at each end of the support part, and the two connecting pipes can be inserted into the communication ports of the third air conditioning air outlet channels of the two connecting blocks at the surface of the connecting blocks.
[0014] In one possible design, a connecting groove is provided on the side of the connecting block opposite to the connecting port, and positioning holes corresponding to the connecting groove are provided on the side walls at both ends of the mounting groove. The positioning holes extend to the outer side wall of the handrail. A pin is inserted into the connecting groove, and the pin is sealed in the positioning hole by bolts.
[0015] In one possible design, a display screen is mounted on the inner surface of the armrest, the display screen is connected to the vehicle's central control circuit, and the first air conditioning vents are located around the display screen.
[0016] In one possible design, the outer surface of the armrest is covered with a covering layer, and the target area on the covering layer is removable. The target area is the area between the corresponding position of the support on the covering layer and the corresponding position of the edge of the armrest on the covering layer.
[0017] In one possible design, a second air conditioning vent is provided on the target surface of the central control box, and the second air conditioning vent is connected to a second air conditioning duct.
[0018] Secondly, this application provides a vehicle that includes the vehicle center console armrest mechanism described in the first aspect of the invention.
[0019] This application provides a vehicle center console armrest mechanism and a vehicle. The mechanism includes a center console body and an armrest portion. The center console body has an upward-opening storage compartment. The target end of the armrest portion is hinged to the center console body. The armrest portion can rotate around the target end to open or close the storage compartment. During the rotation of the armrest portion, the maximum angle between the armrest portion and the center console body is greater than or equal to 180 degrees. When the armrest portion is rotated to its maximum angle, it forms a small table. Furthermore, a support portion for the armrest portion when it is rotated open is provided on the outer surface of the armrest portion, and a support portion for the armrest portion when it is rotated open is provided on the inner surface and / or side surface of the armrest portion. It has a first air conditioning vent, with the outer surface facing away from the storage compartment and the inner surface facing the storage compartment. The armrest has a first air conditioning vent channel inside, which connects to the first air conditioning vent. The internal cavity of the support unit is connected to the first air conditioning vent channel. Furthermore, the target surface of the center console, which is covered by the flipped-out armrest, has a plug hole. The plug hole connects to the second air conditioning vent channel inside the center console. The plug hole is used to plug into the support unit when the armrest is flipped to its maximum angle, so as to connect the internal cavity of the support unit and the second air conditioning vent channel. The following technical effects are achieved: By hinged the target end of the armrest to the upper part of the center console, when the armrest is rotated to its maximum angle around the target end, it forms a small table that can be directly operated by rear passengers. This increases the number of vehicle functional components that rear passengers can access during their ride, thereby increasing their enjoyment of the ride. Furthermore, the center console armrest mechanism can serve not only front and driver passengers but also rear passengers, thus expanding its functionality. By setting a limiting structure, such as a support, at the hinge point of the target end, the stability of the small table formed after the armrest is rotated is ensured, preventing the small table from collapsing. By designing the support as a hollow structure and ensuring that the internal cavity of the support is connected to the interior of the armrest... The first air conditioning vent is connected, and the internal cavity of the support unit is connected to the second air conditioning vent inside the center console via a connector on the center console. This allows the air conditioning air from the second air conditioning vent to pass sequentially through the internal cavity of the support unit, the first air conditioning vent inside the armrest, and the first air conditioning vent on the inner surface and / or side of the armrest, blowing directly onto the passengers in the rear seats. This improves the efficiency of air conditioning delivery and shortens the time it takes for the air conditioning air to reach the rear seats, thus providing the rear passengers with a timely and comfortable air conditioning experience. This avoids the previous drawback of the second air conditioning vent being too far from the rear passengers. Furthermore, due to heat conduction, the armrest quickly reaches a comfortable touch temperature, further enhancing the riding experience for the rear passengers. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0032] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0033] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish identical or similar items with substantially the same function and effect. Those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity or execution order, and that "first" and "second" do not necessarily imply difference. It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is being used as an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being better or more advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner. In the embodiments of this application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more.
[0034] It should be noted that the phrase "at...time" in the embodiments of this application can refer to the instant at which a certain situation occurs, or to a period of time after the occurrence of a certain situation; the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this. Furthermore, the vehicle center console armrest mechanism provided in the embodiments of this application is merely an example; a vehicle center console armrest mechanism may include more or fewer components.
[0035] In modern vehicle design, the center console armrest is an indispensable auxiliary device in the driver's cabin. Its primary function is to provide a comfortable support point for the driver's arms. Drivers and front passengers can rest their arms on the armrest to reduce fatigue from long drives and improve the stability and accuracy of driving operations. Furthermore, as an important functional component in modern vehicle design, the center console armrest typically offers storage space suitable for storing small items such as driver's licenses, vehicle registration certificates, mobile phones, and loose change, thus helping to keep the interior tidy and increasing the practicality of the passenger compartment.
[0036] However, the functions of the center console armrest mechanism in existing vehicles typically serve primarily the front passengers and driver, resulting in a relatively limited functionality. Rear passengers have difficulty accessing or operating the center console armrest mechanism, limiting the interactive features available to them and leading to a monotonous riding experience. Furthermore, because the rear seats are usually designed to be far from the air conditioning vents, rear passengers cannot promptly enjoy the comfort of the air conditioning.
[0037] Based on this, this application proposes a vehicle center console armrest mechanism and a vehicle, applicable to the fields of vehicle intelligent driving assistance technology and vehicle interior technology, aiming to solve the aforementioned technical problems of the prior art. By modifying the armrest of the vehicle center console armrest mechanism to flip towards the rear of the vehicle, it can be flexibly flipped towards the rear of the vehicle, cleverly transforming it into a small table that can be directly operated by rear passengers, thus providing rear passengers with the possibility of directly operating the vehicle center console armrest mechanism. Furthermore, the design incorporates air conditioning ducts and vents in this small table to introduce air conditioning air towards the rear seats, allowing rear passengers to enjoy suitable air conditioning in a timely manner. This not only expands the functional range of the vehicle center console armrest mechanism, giving it more diverse functions, but also significantly enhances the riding pleasure and comfort of rear passengers, allowing them to enjoy greater convenience and interactivity during the ride, thereby improving the overall riding experience and satisfaction of passengers in the vehicle.
[0038] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0039] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle center console armrest mechanism provided in this application embodiment. Figure 1 .like Figure 1As shown, the vehicle's center console armrest mechanism includes: a center console body 10 and an armrest 20;
[0040] The central control box 10 has an upward-opening storage compartment 11. The target end 21 of the armrest 20 is hinged to the central control box 10, and the armrest 20 can be rotated around the target end 21 to open or close the storage compartment 11. Figure 1 The image shows the state of storage compartment 11 when it is closed.
[0041] Specifically, the target end 21 of the armrest 20 can be hinged to the upper part of the central control box 10. During the process of the armrest 20 rotating around the target end 21, the maximum angle between the armrest 20 and the central control box 10 is greater than or equal to 180 degrees. When the armrest 20 is rotated to the maximum angle, the armrest 20 forms a small table.
[0042] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle center console armrest mechanism provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 .in, Figure 2 The image shows the state of storage compartment 11 when it is open. Figure 2 In the middle, the armrest section 20 from Figure 1 The position shown is rotated 180 degrees around the target end 21 to form a small table in a horizontal state. This is only one example. In other alternative embodiments, the armrest 20 can also be rotated at a larger angle to form a small table with a certain tilt angle.
[0043] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a support portion 23 is provided on the outer surface 22 of the armrest portion when the armrest portion 20 is flipped open.
[0044] Specifically, to ensure the stability of the small table formed after the armrest 20 flips over and to prevent the small table from collapsing, a limiting structure can be provided at the hinge portion of the target end 21 to fix the maximum flipping angle and stability of the armrest 20. For example, a support portion 23 can be further provided on the outer surface 22 of the armrest 20 when it flips open. This supports the small table after the armrest 20 flips over, preventing it from collapsing backward after flipping.
[0045] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the armrest portion of a vehicle center console armrest mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, a first air conditioning vent 25 is provided on the inner surface 24 and / or side of the armrest.
[0046] Specifically, the armrest 20 may have multiple first air conditioning vents 25 on its inner surface 24 and / or surrounding sides. The outer surface 22 of the armrest faces away from the storage compartment 11, while the inner surface 24 faces the storage compartment 11. The armrest 20 contains a first air conditioning vent 26, which connects to multiple first air conditioning vents 25. Furthermore, the support 23 may be a hollow structure, with its internal cavity 231 connected to the first air conditioning vent 26. This allows air conditioning air to be delivered through the internal cavity 231 of the support 23 to the first air conditioning vent 26, and then blown from the first air conditioning vents 25, which are closer to the rear seats after the armrest 20 is flipped open, onto the passengers in the rear seats, thus providing them with timely and comfortable air conditioning and improving their riding experience.
[0047] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle center console armrest mechanism provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 .in, Figure 4 for Figure 2 An enlarged schematic diagram of a portion of the structure connecting the support part 23 and the central control box 10, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a plug hole 123 is provided on the target surface 12 of the center control box 10 that is covered by the flipped-out armrest 20. The plug hole 123 is connected to the second air conditioning outlet duct 13 inside the center control box 10. The plug hole 123 is used to plug the support part 23 when the armrest 20 is flipped to the maximum angle, so as to connect the internal cavity 231 of the support part 23 and the second air conditioning outlet duct 13.
[0048] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second air conditioning vent 14 is provided on the target surface 12 of the central control box 10, and the second air conditioning vent 14 is connected to the second air conditioning duct 13.
[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, when the armrest 20 is flipped to its maximum angle, it usually obstructs the second air conditioning vent 14 on the center console 10, which is not conducive to the diffusion and flow of air conditioning air. This may, to some extent, block the air conditioning air from blowing onto the passengers in the rear seats, affecting the temperature control effect of the air conditioning in the rear of the vehicle. Therefore, by providing the insertion hole 123, not only can the support part 23 be inserted when the armrest 20 is flipped to its maximum angle to stabilize the small table formed after the armrest 20 is flipped and prevent the armrest 20 from collapsing backward after flipping, but it can also connect the internal cavity 231 of the support part 23 and the second air conditioning vent 13. This allows the air conditioning air blown out of the second air conditioning vent 13 to be blown onto the passengers in the rear seats at close range through the internal cavity 231 of the support part 23, the first air conditioning vent 26 provided inside the armrest 20, and the inner surface 24 and / or the first air conditioning vent 25 provided on the side of the armrest. Compared to delivering air conditioning air to the rear seats via the second air conditioning vent 14 on the central control box 10, this method improves the efficiency of air conditioning air delivery and shortens the time it takes for the air conditioning air to reach the rear seats, thus providing passengers in the rear seats with a timely and comfortable air conditioning temperature.
[0050] This embodiment provides a vehicle center console armrest mechanism, which includes a center console body and an armrest portion. The center console body has an upward-opening storage compartment. The target end of the armrest portion is hinged to the center console body. The armrest portion can rotate around the target end to open or close the storage compartment. During the rotation of the armrest portion, the maximum angle between the armrest portion and the center console body is greater than or equal to 180 degrees. When the armrest portion is rotated to its maximum angle, it forms a small table. Furthermore, a support portion is provided on the outer surface of the armrest portion when it is rotated open, and a support portion is provided on the inner surface and / or side surface of the armrest portion. The first air conditioning vent has an outer surface facing away from the storage compartment and an inner surface facing the storage compartment. The armrest has a first air conditioning vent channel connected to the first air conditioning vent. The internal cavity of the support unit is connected to the first air conditioning vent channel. Furthermore, the target surface of the center console, which is covered by the flipped-out armrest, has a plug hole connected to the second air conditioning vent channel inside the center console. The plug hole is used to plug into the support unit when the armrest is flipped to its maximum angle, so as to connect the internal cavity of the support unit and the second air conditioning vent channel.
[0051] The following technical effects are achieved: By hinged the target end of the armrest to the upper part of the center console, when the armrest is rotated to its maximum angle around the target end, it forms a small table that can be directly operated by rear passengers. This increases the number of vehicle functional components that rear passengers can access during their ride, thereby increasing their enjoyment of the ride. Furthermore, the center console armrest mechanism can serve not only front and driver passengers but also rear passengers, thus expanding its functionality. By setting a limiting structure, such as a support, at the hinge point of the target end, the stability of the small table formed after the armrest is rotated is ensured, preventing the small table from collapsing. By designing the support as a hollow structure and ensuring that the internal cavity of the support is connected to the interior of the armrest... The first air conditioning vent is connected, and the internal cavity of the support unit is connected to the second air conditioning vent inside the center console via a connector on the center console. This allows the air conditioning air from the second air conditioning vent to pass sequentially through the internal cavity of the support unit, the first air conditioning vent inside the armrest, and the first air conditioning vent on the inner surface and / or side of the armrest, blowing directly onto the passengers in the rear seats. This improves the efficiency of air conditioning delivery and shortens the time it takes for the air conditioning air to reach the rear seats, thus providing the rear passengers with a timely and comfortable air conditioning experience. This avoids the previous drawback of the second air conditioning vent being too far from the rear passengers. Furthermore, due to heat conduction, the armrest quickly reaches a comfortable touch temperature, further enhancing the riding experience for the rear passengers.
[0052] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the second air conditioning duct 13 inside the central control box 10, a dust baffle 124 that can be flipped into the central control box 10 is provided at the plug hole 123. The dust baffle 124 can block the plug hole 123. When the support part 23 is inserted into the plug hole 123, the dust baffle 124 avoids the support part 23.
[0053] Specifically, inside the central control box 10, a dust baffle 124 that can be flipped inward can be installed on the inner wall above the plug hole 123 to cover the plug hole 123 when the storage compartment 11 is closed, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the second air conditioning outlet duct.
[0054] Furthermore, a magnet can be installed on the inner wall of the central control box 10, so that the dust baffle 124 can be attracted to the inner wall of the central control box 10 by the magnetic force of the magnet, thereby making it easier for the dust baffle 124 to avoid the support part 23 when the support part 23 is inserted into the insertion hole 123.
[0055] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the outer surface 22 of the armrest is provided with a mounting groove 27, and the support part 23 can be flipped and connected to the groove wall of the mounting groove 27. The support part 23 can be completely placed in the mounting groove 27.
[0056] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle center console armrest mechanism provided in this application embodiment. Figure 4 . Figure 5 A partial cross-sectional view is shown at the connection between the support portion 23 and the armrest portion 20. (See attached image.) Figure 5 As shown, a connecting block 271 is provided at each end of the mounting groove 27 on the outer surface 22 of the handrail. The connecting block 271 is provided with a third air conditioning outlet 272 that communicates with the first air conditioning outlet 26. The two ends of the support 23 are provided with connecting pipes 232 that communicate with the internal cavity 231. The two connecting pipes 232 can be inserted into the communication ports 273 of the third air conditioning outlet 272 of the two connecting blocks 271 on the surface of the connecting block 271.
[0057] Specifically, a connecting block 271 is symmetrically arranged at each end of the mounting slot 27, and an "L"-shaped third air conditioning outlet channel 272 communicating with the first air conditioning outlet channel 26 is arranged inside the connecting block 271. Connecting pipes 232 communicating with the internal cavity 231 are symmetrically arranged at each end of the support part 23. When the two connecting pipes 232 are inserted into the corresponding "L"-shaped third air conditioning outlet channel 272 in the connecting block 271, the internal cavity 231 of the support part 23 remains connected to the first air conditioning outlet channel 26 inside the handrail part 20 through the connecting pipes 232 and the third air conditioning outlet channel 272.
[0058] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, a connecting groove 274 is provided on the side of the connecting block 271 opposite to the connecting port 273. Positioning holes 275 corresponding to the connecting groove 274 are provided on the side walls of both ends of the mounting groove 27. The positioning holes 275 extend to the outer side wall of the handrail part 20. A pin 276 is inserted into the connecting groove 274, and the pin 276 is sealed in the positioning hole 275 by bolts 28.
[0059] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a connecting block provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 A partial cross-sectional view is shown of the portion of the connecting block 271 where the connecting groove 274 is located. (See attached image.) Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, on the side of each of the two connecting blocks 271 opposite to the connecting port 273, there are hexagonal connecting grooves 274 facing away from the third air conditioning outlet duct 272. Positioning holes 275 corresponding to the hexagonal connecting grooves 274 of the connecting blocks 271 are provided on the side walls at both ends of the mounting groove 27. The positioning holes 275 extend laterally directly to the outer wall of the armrest portion 20. The end of the positioning hole 275 facing the connecting groove 274 is a hexagon corresponding to the hexagonal connecting groove 274. The end of the positioning hole 275 away from the connecting groove 274 (i.e., the end located on the outer wall of the armrest portion 20) is a threaded circular hole. The connecting block 271 can be rectangular.
[0060] During installation, first connect the connecting pipe 232 of the support 23 to the "L"-shaped third air conditioning outlet duct 272, so that the two connecting blocks 271 are located at the corresponding ends of the support 23. Then, place the support 23 into the mounting groove 27, and ensure that the "L"-shaped third air conditioning outlet duct 272 in the connecting block 271 is connected to the connecting pipe 232 of the support 23 and the first air conditioning outlet duct 26 provided inside the handrail 20. At this time, the hexagonal connecting groove 274 is opposite to the positioning hole 275. One end of the hexagonal pin 276 can be inserted into the hexagonal connecting groove 274 of the connecting block 271 through the positioning hole 275, and the hexagonal pin 276 can be sealed in the positioning hole 275 using bolts 28.
[0061] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the inner surface of the armrest provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 As shown, a display screen 241 is provided on the inner surface 24 of the armrest. The display screen 241 is connected to the vehicle's central control circuit, and the first air conditioning vent 25 is located around the display screen 241.
[0062] Specifically, after the main body of the armrest 20 is flipped up, it can not only form a small table for rear passengers, but also have a display screen 241 electrically connected to the vehicle's central control circuit installed on the inner surface 24 of the armrest. Rear passengers can set the air conditioning parameters through the display screen 241, thereby enabling rear passengers to independently control various airflow parameters of the air conditioning, improving the comfort and enjoyment of the ride.
[0063] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer surface 22 of the armrest is covered with a covering layer 221. The target area on the covering layer 221 is removable. The target area is the area between the corresponding position of the support 23 on the covering layer 221 and the corresponding position of the edge of the armrest 20 on the covering layer.
[0064] Specifically, the area of the covering layer 221 corresponding to the support portion 23 is removable, thereby facilitating the support portion 23 to be flipped out of the mounting groove 27. By providing the covering layer 221 on the outer surface 22 of the armrest, the aesthetics of the outer surface 22 of the armrest can be improved.
[0065] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the end of the support part 23 used for insertion into the plug hole 123 can be designed as a retaining step surface with a sudden change in thickness at the end. This step surface design can provide additional support area for the support part 23, enhance the connection strength between the support part 23 and the target surface 12 of the central control box 10, and thus achieve the fixation between the support part 23 and the central control box 10 after the support part 23 is flipped.
[0066] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the outer surface of the armrest provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 8 As shown, a support 23 is provided in the mounting groove 27 on the outer surface 22 of the armrest, and a connecting block 271 is provided at each end of the mounting groove 27.
[0067] This application also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned vehicle center console armrest mechanism.
