[0048] The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and structures is omitted in the following description.

[0049] The "first", "second", "third", etc. involved in the embodiments of the present invention are to distinguish different structures or components or different positions of the same structure, and are not intended to limit the number, order, etc. of structures or components, etc. In addition, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0050] It should be pointed out that the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features therein may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0051] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of a central armrest according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, a central armrest according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly comprises a cover body 10, a moving assembly 20 and a box body 30; wherein,

[0052] The box body 30 includes a tissue storage space 31 for storing tissues;

[0053] The moving assembly includes a clamping component 21 and a conveying component 22; the clamping component 21 and the conveying component 22 are arranged in the cover body 10;

[0054] The cover body 10 is arranged on the top of the box body 30, and a first paper outlet 11 is arranged at the front end of the cover body 10, and a second paper outlet 12 is arranged at the rear end of the cover body 10; it can be understood that the front end and the rear end of the cover body correspond to the front and rear directions of the vehicle respectively, that is, the front direction of the vehicle is the front end of the cover body, and the rear direction of the vehicle is the rear end of the cover body.

[0055] The clamping component 21 is used to clamp paper towels from the paper towel storage space 31 under the drive of external force and transfer them to the conveying component 22; the conveying component 22 is used to convert its own movement into a linear motion that drives the paper towel forward or backward under the drive of external force, so as to convey the clamped paper towel to the first paper outlet 11 or the second paper outlet 12.

[0056] The conveying component 22 can be implemented in various forms, such as a combination of a slide rail, a roller and a conveyor belt, or a combination of a roller and a conveyor belt. The clamping component 21 can also be implemented in various forms, such as a roller that cooperates with each other, a roller that cooperates with each other, or a clamp, etc. The working mechanism of the conveying component 22 and the clamping component 21 will be further described in detail in the subsequent embodiments.

[0057] The vehicle controller can control the movement direction of the conveying component by controlling the power assembly corresponding to the conveying component 22, so as to realize the output of the paper towel from the first paper outlet 11 or the second paper outlet 12. For example, when the front passenger in the car needs a paper towel, the paper towel function button near the side door (such as the door on the passenger side) or under the seat can send a paper towel acquisition instruction to the controller, and the controller controls the conveying component to move forward according to the position of the triggered paper towel function button (at the passenger side door) to drive the clamped paper towel to be output from the first paper outlet 11 at the front end of the central armrest. Alternatively, when the rear passenger in the car needs a paper towel, the paper towel acquisition instruction can also be sent to the controller through the side door near the side door (such as the right rear door) or under the seat, and the controller controls the conveying component to move backward according to the position of the triggered paper towel function button (at the right rear door) to drive the clamped paper towel to be output from the second paper outlet 12 at the front end of the central armrest.

[0058] In order to facilitate the control of the forward or backward conveyance of the paper towel, in one embodiment of the present invention, continue to refer to Figure 1 The conveying component 22 includes: two first conveying mechanisms respectively arranged on both sides of the clamping component 21; one end of the first conveying mechanism is connected to the clamping component 21; the first conveying mechanism 221 located at the front side of the clamping component 21 is used to convey the paper towel forward to the first paper outlet 11, and the first conveying mechanism 221' located at the rear side of the clamping component 21 is used to convey the paper towel backward to the second paper outlet 12.

[0059] Among them, Figure 1As shown, the rear end of the first conveying mechanism 221 located at the front side of the clamping member 21 is connected to the clamping member 21, and the front end of the first conveying mechanism 221' located at the rear side of the clamping member 21 is connected to the clamping member 21. Therefore, by connecting the clamping member 21 with the first conveying mechanism, the clamping member 21 can be convenient for transmitting the clamped paper towel to the first conveying mechanism at the front or rear side thereof. And by arranging the two first conveying mechanisms at both sides of the clamping member 21 respectively, the two first conveying mechanisms can be controlled respectively, so as to facilitate the control of the transmission of paper towels. For example, when the front row passengers in the car need paper towels, only the first conveying mechanism 221 located at the front side of the clamping member 21 can be controlled to move, while the first conveying mechanism 221' located at the rear side of the clamping member can remain motionless, so that the paper towels are transported to the first paper outlet 11 through the first conveying mechanism 221. When the rear passengers in the vehicle need tissues, only the first conveying mechanism 221 ′ located at the rear side of the clamping component can be controlled to move, while the first conveying mechanism 221 located at the front side of the clamping component can remain stationary.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first conveying mechanism may be a combination of a roller and a conveyor belt, or a combination of a roller and a conveyor belt. Figure 2 The first conveying mechanism, the clamping component and their working mechanism are schematically shown. Figure 2 As shown, the first conveying mechanism located on the front and rear sides of the clamping component 21 includes a first rotating structure 2211, a second rotating structure 2212 and a first conveyor belt 2213; wherein, the first rotating structure 2211 is connected to the clamping component 21, the second rotating structure 2212 is arranged at the end of the cover body 10, and the first conveyor belt 2213 is surrounded by the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212; the clamping component 21 is used to transmit the clamped paper towel to the first conveyor belt 2213 through the first rotating structure 2211; the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212 are used to rotate under the drive of an external force, and drive the first conveyor belt 2213 to move, so as to drive the paper towel located on the first conveyor belt 2213 to move forward or backward.

[0061] The first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212 can be rollers or wheels. It is understood that in order to maintain balance during the movement, the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212 are of the same structure; that is, if the first rotating structure 2211 is a roller, then the second rotating structure 2212 is also a roller; if the first rotating structure 2211 is a wheel, then the second rotating structure 2212 is also a wheel, so that the first conveyor belt 2213 wrapped around the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212 is subjected to the same force at both ends. Preferably, in order to improve the stability of the movement process and to stably transport the paper towels, the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212 in the embodiment of the present invention use rollers, and the length of the rollers (the length along the transverse direction of the vehicle) is adapted to the width of the first conveyor belt, so that the first conveyor belt 2213 can be stably wrapped around the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212.

[0062] The direction of movement during paper towel delivery can be referred to Figure 2 In the direction of the arrow shown, when the front passenger in the vehicle needs a tissue, the vehicle controller controls the first rotating mechanism 2211 and the second rotating mechanism 2212 in the first conveying mechanism 221 located at the front side of the clamping component 21 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the first conveying belt 2213 wrapped around the first rotating mechanism 2211 and the second rotating mechanism 2212 to also move counterclockwise. Therefore, after the clamping component 21 conveys the clamped tissue to the first conveying belt 2213 through the first rotating structure 2211 connected thereto, the first conveying belt 2213 can drive the tissue to move forward to transport the tissue to the first paper outlet 11.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first rotating mechanism 2211 and the second rotating mechanism 2212 can be driven by their respective corresponding power components, that is, the first rotating mechanism 2211 and the second rotating mechanism 2212 can be connected to the power components respectively, so that the vehicle-mounted controller can control the two power components respectively to achieve control of the movement direction of the first rotating mechanism 2211 and the second rotating mechanism 2212. Alternatively, the first rotating mechanism 2211 and the second rotating mechanism 2212 can correspond to only one power component, such as the first rotating mechanism 2211 is connected to the power component as an active roller, and the vehicle-mounted controller controls the movement direction of the first rotating mechanism 2211 by controlling the power component, while the second rotating mechanism 2212 is a driven roller and moves under the drive of the first rotating mechanism 2211. Similarly, the second rotating mechanism 2212 can also be used as an active motion mechanism, and the first rotating mechanism 2211 can be used as a driven motion mechanism, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to better cooperate with the first conveying mechanism, when the first conveying mechanism adopts a combination of a roller and a conveyor belt, or a combination of a roller and a conveyor belt, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping component 21 includes two fourth rotating structures 211; the inner edges of the two fourth rotating structures 211 are connected, and the outer edges are connected to the first rotating structure 2211; the bottom of the fourth rotating structure 211 is in contact with the paper towels stored in the paper towel storage space 31, and the two fourth rotating structures 211 move toward each other under the drive of external force to clamp the paper towels.

[0065] Similar to the first rotating structure and the second rotating structure, the fourth rotating structure can also be a roller or a roller. It can be understood that the fourth rotating structure 211 is the same structure as the first rotating structure and the second rotating structure, that is, when the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212 are rollers, the fourth rotating structure 211 is also a roller; when the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212 are rollers, the fourth rotating structure 211 is also a roller. In addition, the diameter and length of the first rotating structure 2211, the second rotating structure 2212 and the fourth rotating structure 211 are the same, so that the fourth rotating structure can transfer the clamped paper towel to the first conveyor belt 2213.

[0066] refer to Figure 2 When clamping the paper towel, the fourth rotating structure at the front side moves counterclockwise, and the fourth rotating structure at the rear side moves clockwise, thereby clamping the paper towel in contact with the fourth rotating structure 211. In addition, since the first rotating mechanism 2211 in the first conveying mechanism 221 at the front side of the clamping component 21 moves counterclockwise and is connected to the fourth rotating structure at the front side, the clamped paper towel can be transported to the top of the first conveying belt 2213 in the first conveying mechanism 221, and driven to the first paper outlet 11 under the movement of the first conveying belt 2213.

[0067] On the other hand, in order to make it easier for rear passengers in the car to obtain paper towels, in one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the moving assembly 20 also includes: a first sliding component (not shown in the figure); the first sliding component is arranged at the bottom of the cover body 10, and the cover body 10 is slidably connected to the top of the box body 30 through the first sliding component; the first sliding component is used to drive the cover body 10 to slide backward under the drive of external force, so as to drive the paper towel storage space 31 to move backward.

[0068] Therefore, when the rear passengers in the vehicle need tissue paper, they can send a tissue acquisition instruction to the controller through the tissue function button near the side door or under the seat, and then the controller can control the first sliding component 23 to slide backward, thereby driving the tissue storage space 31 and the tissue paper stored therein to move backward. Then, the controller controls the first conveying mechanism 221' located at the rear side of the clamping component 21 to move. Specifically, when the first conveying mechanism 221' also includes a first rotating structure 2211, a second rotating structure 2212 and a first conveying belt 2213, after the controller controls the two fourth rotating structures 211 in the clamping component 21 to move toward each other to clamp the tissue paper, the controller controls the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212 in the first conveying mechanism 221' to rotate clockwise, so that the first conveying belt 2213 in the first conveying mechanism 221' drives the clamped tissue paper to move backward, and finally conveys the tissue paper to the second paper outlet 12. The movement directions of the first rotating structure 2211, the second rotating structure 2212 and the first conveying belt 2213 in the first conveying mechanism 221' are as follows: Figure 3 Indicated by the arrow.

[0069] Further, in order to facilitate the movement of the paper towel storage space 31 and the paper towels stored therein backward, in one embodiment of the present invention, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The box body 30 also includes a storage space 32 for storing items. The tissue storage space 31 is arranged at the rear side of the storage space 32, and the storage space 32 and the tissue storage space 31 are isolated from each other. A second sliding component 321 adapted to the first sliding component is arranged on the top of the storage space 32. The first sliding component and the second sliding component can be any form of components adapted to each other, such as the first sliding component is a slider and the second sliding component is a slide groove; or the first sliding component is a roller and the second sliding component is a guide rail. Through the cooperation of the first sliding component and the second sliding component, and the isolation of the storage space 32 and the tissue storage space 31, not only the cover 10 of the central armrest only needs to drive the tissue storage space 31 to move backward, so that the central armrest in the existing vehicle is less modified, but also it is conducive to reducing the energy consumption during the movement process. Moreover, other items can be stored in the storage space 32 without being disturbed by the storage of tissues, which is conducive to the effective use of the storage space in the vehicle.

[0070] In addition, in order to facilitate the clamping component 21 to clamp the paper towel, in one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, a tissue tray 311 and a spring 312 are provided in the tissue storage space 31; wherein, the tissue tray 311 is used to store stacked tissues, and the spring 312 is provided at the bottom of the tissue tray 311. The tissue tray 311 is lifted and lowered under the expansion and contraction of the spring 312, so that the stacked tissues are in contact with the clamping member 21. Thus, by providing the spring 312 at the bottom of the tissue tray 311, the height of the tissue tray 311 can be adaptively adjusted by the spring 312 (as the number of tissues decreases, the tissue tray 311 is closer to the clamping member 21), so that the distance between the tissues and the fourth rotating structure 211 will not change due to the amount of tissues, so that the fourth rotating structure 211 can always be in contact with the tissues, so as to clamp the tissues, until the stacked tissues are used up. In addition, in order to facilitate the clamping of paper towels, two adjacent paper towels in the stacked multiple paper towels are folded onto each other, so that when the clamping component 21 clamps the upper paper towel, the lower paper towel adjacent to it is automatically brought out, thereby facilitating the paper towel to enter the gap between the two fourth rotating structures 211 during the next clamping, thereby achieving the clamping of the paper towel.

[0071] In addition to the above-mentioned method in which the roller or roller cooperates with the conveyor belt to form the clamping component and the first conveying mechanism, in another embodiment of the present invention, the clamping component and the first conveying mechanism can also be in other forms. Figure 4 The clamping component 21 is a clamp, and the first conveying mechanisms 221, 221' are slide rails. In order to facilitate the clamping component 21 to clamp the paper towel, and the clamping component 21 cooperates with the first conveying mechanism, the clamping component 21 can also be used in conjunction with the guide mechanism, by controlling the direction of the guide mechanism, the clamping component 21 is driven to move downward to clamp the paper towel, and then the clamping component 21 is driven to move forward or backward to transfer the clamped paper towel to the first conveying mechanism 221 located at the front side of the clamping component 21, or to transfer the paper towel to the first conveying mechanism 221' at the rear side of the clamping component 21.

[0072] Furthermore, in order to improve the delivery efficiency of paper towels, as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the conveying component further includes a second conveying mechanism 222; wherein the second conveying mechanism 222 is arranged at the upper end of the first conveying mechanism, and the space between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism 222 is used to accommodate the clamped paper towel. Therefore, after the clamped paper towel is conveyed between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, it basically no longer generates relative movement with the first conveying mechanism or the second conveying mechanism, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the paper towel on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also conducive to keeping the paper towel flat and improving the user experience.

[0073] Specifically, on the basis that the first conveying mechanism includes the first rotating structure 2211, the second rotating structure 2212 and the first conveying belt 2213, the second conveying mechanism 222 includes: two third rotating structures 2221 and the second conveying belt 2222; wherein the two third rotating structures 2221 are respectively arranged at the ends of the cover body 10 and are respectively located at the upper ends of the two second rotating structures 2212, and the movement direction of the third rotating structure 2221 is opposite to the movement direction of the second rotating structure 2212; the second conveying belt 2222 surrounds the two third rotating structures 2221;

[0074] The clamping member 21 is used to transfer the clamped paper towel to between the first conveyor belt 2213 and the second conveyor belt 2222 through the first rotating structure 2211. The moving direction of the paper towel forward is referenced to Figure 2 , the direction of movement of the paper towel conveying backwards is referenced Figure 3 Thus, the paper towel is conveyed by the cooperation of the upper and lower rotating structures, so that the paper towel remains substantially stationary between the first conveyor belt 2213 and the second conveyor belt 2222 until it is smoothly conveyed to the first paper outlet 11 or the second paper outlet 12 .

[0075] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate the replacement of paper towels, the central armrest further includes: a movable cover; wherein the movable cover is arranged at the back of the box body 30, and the position of the movable cover corresponds to the paper towel storage space 31. Therefore, when it is necessary to replace paper towels, the movable cover can be opened from the rear side of the central armrest, and the new stacked paper towels can be placed on the paper towel tray.

[0076] The working mechanism of the central armrest provided by the embodiment of the present invention is further described below in combination with the above-mentioned components:

[0077] The cover of the central armrest is connected to the box body through a sliding component, and a tissue storage space dedicated to storing tissues is provided in the box body. A tissue tray and a spring are provided in the tissue storage space. The tissue tray and the tray spring can ensure that the distance between the tissue and the clamping component will not change due to the amount of tissues.

[0078] When the driver or the front passenger wants to use tissue paper, they can press the tissue paper function button on the front and rear doors, and the controller controls the two fourth rotating mechanisms in the clamping component to move in opposite directions to clamp the stacked tissue paper on the tissue paper tray and transport it upward. After clamping the tissue paper, the fourth rotating mechanism can stop moving. At the same time, the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212 in the first conveying mechanism 221 located on the front side of the clamping component 21 move counterclockwise, and the third rotating structure 2221 in the second conveying mechanism 222 moves clockwise. The movement of several rotating structures drives the conveyor belt wrapped around them to move, so that the tissue paper is transported to the first paper outlet 11 on the front side of the central armrest, and the user can extract the tissue paper from the first paper outlet 11.

[0079] When the rear passengers want to use tissues, they press the tissue function button on the rear door, and the cover of the central armrest slides backwards through the sliding component, while the clamping component 21 clamps the tissue upwards, and the first rotating structure 2211 and the second rotating structure 2212 in the first conveying mechanism 221' located at the rear side of the clamping component 21 move clockwise, while the third rotating structure 2221 in the second conveying mechanism 222 moves counterclockwise, and the movement of several rotating structures drives the conveyor belts wrapped thereon to move, thereby conveying the tissues to the second paper outlet 12 at the rear side of the central armrest, and the rear passengers can draw tissues from the second paper outlet 12. If the rear tissue function button is not pressed again within a preset time (e.g., within 5 seconds) after the tissues are conveyed to the second paper outlet, the cover of the central armrest will automatically reset to its original position.

[0080] When the paper towels in the paper towel storage space are used up, the movable cover on the rear side of the central armrest can be opened, and then the folded paper towels can be placed on the paper towel tray and the first paper can be clamped between the two fourth rotating mechanisms in the clamping component 21 for continued use.

[0081] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a vehicle, comprising a central armrest provided by any of the above embodiments. The central armrest can be arranged between the driver's seat and the co-driver's seat. A moving component 20 is arranged in the cover body, which is used to realize the delivery of paper towels to the first paper outlet 11 on the front side of the cover body, or to deliver the paper towels to the second paper outlet on the rear side of the cover body after driving the cover body to move backward. Since the moving component 20 is arranged in the central armrest cover body, it does not need to occupy additional space in the vehicle, and there is no need to significantly modify the structure of the existing central armrest. Conventional vehicle components such as air-conditioning outlets 40 can still be arranged on the lower side of the central armrest, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0082] In addition, the vehicle may also include a tissue function button and a controller. The tissue function button is arranged on the door or under the seat, and is configured to send a tissue acquisition instruction to the controller when triggered; so that when the passenger needs a tissue, he can trigger the tissue function button on the corresponding side door, or trigger the tissue function button under his seat, thereby facilitating the passenger's operation.

[0083] After acquiring the tissue acquisition instruction, the controller sends a driving instruction to the power component corresponding to the moving component according to the position of the triggered tissue function button, so as to drive the moving component to move and control the moving direction of the moving component. For example, when the tissue function button on the passenger side door is triggered, the controller determines that the tissue needs to be controlled to be conveyed forward according to the position of the tissue function button, and based on this, sends a driving instruction to the power component, so that the power component drives the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism in the moving component 20 to move forward, so as to convey the tissue to the first paper outlet on the front side of the central armrest.

[0084] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, a paper towel storage space dedicated to storing paper towels is provided in the box body of the central armrest, and paper towels are clamped from the paper towel storage space by a clamping component, and the paper towels are driven forward or backward to make a linear motion by a conveying component, so as to convey the paper towels to the first paper outlet at the front end of the central armrest or the second paper outlet at the rear end of the central armrest, so that the front row passengers in the car can obtain paper towels from the first paper outlet, and the rear row passengers in the car can obtain paper towels from the second paper outlet. In this way, the front and rear rows in the car can share paper towels, which is beneficial to improving user experience and driving safety. In addition, the clamping component and the conveying component are arranged in the cover body of the central armrest, thereby saving the setting space of the mobile component, and no additional space in the car is occupied for paper towel sharing. This saves storage space in the car on the one hand, and is also beneficial to improving the aesthetics of the car on the other hand.

[0085] The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions may occur depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
