[0071] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0072] This application proposes a vehicle armrest storage structure. Figures 1 to 10 These are some embodiments of the present application.

[0073] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present application, a vehicle armrest storage structure includes a main body 1 and a temperature-controlled air supply system 3. The main body 1 is provided with a storage compartment 2. The storage compartment 2 has a conventional storage function and can also store items at a preset temperature. In other words, the storage compartment 2 now also functions as a vehicle refrigerator and can store items at a preset temperature. The present application connects the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 to the storage compartment 2 to adjust the temperature within the storage compartment 2.

[0074] In the related art, in order to store items at a preset temperature, it is often necessary to install a vehicle refrigerator in the vehicle armrest. The vehicle refrigerator will occupy a large space in the vehicle armrest, which will compress the conventional storage space of the vehicle armrest and reduce the storage capacity. The solution shown in this application does not require the integration of the related art refrigerator in the main body 1 of the armrest, thereby improving the storage capacity of the main body 1. The main body 1 not only has the refrigeration storage function of the related art refrigerator, but also has heating storage and room temperature storage functions, thereby providing a storage environment suitable for different types of items.

[0075] If the external ambient temperature is low and the items need to be heated or maintained at a temperature, the items can be placed in the storage compartment 2 and the storage compartment 2 can be heated by the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 so that the temperature inside the storage compartment 2 is higher than the ambient temperature.

[0076] If the external ambient temperature is high and the items need to be cooled, the items can be placed in the storage compartment 2, and the storage compartment 2 can be cooled by the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 so that the temperature inside the storage compartment 2 is lower than the ambient temperature.

[0077] If the items need to be stored in a room temperature environment, the temperature control and air supply system 3 is controlled not to work, and the items can be directly placed in the storage compartment 2 for storage.

[0078] Of course, there is no limitation on the way in which the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 adjusts the temperature of the storage compartment 2. It can be done by changing the temperature inside the storage compartment 2 through heat exchange, or by introducing cold air or hot air into the storage compartment 2 to change the temperature inside the storage compartment 2.

[0079] When the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 provides a storage environment suitable for the items in the storage compartment 2, the state of the storage compartment 2 is not restricted; at this time, the storage compartment 2 can be in an open state or a closed state.

[0080] It is understandable that when the temperature control and air supply system 3 is not working, the storage environment in the storage compartment 2 is the same as the external environment.

[0081] The storage compartment 2 may be positioned on the main body 1 in any manner, and may be positioned horizontally or vertically on the main body 1 .

[0082] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, a storage compartment 2 is provided on one side of the main body 1 in the horizontal direction.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the main body 1 is a sub-instrument panel; that is, a storage compartment 2 is provided on one side of the sub-instrument panel in the horizontal direction, and the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 can adjust the temperature of the storage compartment 2 of the sub-instrument panel, so that the sub-instrument assembly not only has the refrigeration storage function of the refrigerator in the related technology, but also has heating storage and normal temperature storage functions, thereby providing a storage environment suitable for different types of items.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the storage compartment 2 is the second-layer storage compartment of the sub-instrument panel in the related art; that is, in this embodiment, the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 adjusts the temperature of the second-layer storage compartment of the sub-instrument panel in the related art or the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 does not work, so that the second-layer storage compartment meets the requirements of refrigeration storage, heating storage and normal temperature storage, and there is no need to integrate a car refrigerator in the sub-instrument panel, that is, the sub-instrument panel will not be provided with a car refrigerator that encroaches on the storage space, so that the storage capacity of the sub-instrument panel is improved, and the storage capacity of the sub-instrument panel is more diversified to meet the actual needs of users.

[0085] Of course, the main body 1 can also be set at any position in the vehicle, without limitation; for example, the main body 1 is set between two rows of seats in the back seat of the vehicle; or the main body 1 is part of a bar in the vehicle.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle armrest storage structure also includes at least one cover plate 4, which is movably arranged on the main body 1, and the cover plate 4 has a first state and a second state; when the cover plate 4 is in the first state, the cover plate 4 can open the opening of the storage compartment 2; when the cover plate 4 is in the second state, the cover plate 4 can close the opening of the storage compartment 2; in this embodiment, the cover plate 4 can open or close the storage compartment 2 according to user needs; when the cover plate 4 is in the second state, the storage compartment 2 is in a closed environment, and when the temperature control air supply system 3 heats or cools the storage compartment 2, it can maintain a constant temperature in the storage compartment 2 while reducing the required power consumption, and when the cover plate 4 is in the first state, it is convenient for users to take and put items in the storage compartment 2.

[0087] It is understandable that the provision of the cover plate 4 can also prevent the items in the storage compartment 2 from falling out of the storage compartment 2 due to factors such as vehicle bumps during driving.

[0088] In addition, the provision of the cover plate 4 can also protect the user's privacy, ensuring that the items stored by the user in the storage compartment 2 will not be directly seen.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the cover 4 is detachably connected to the main body 1; that is, in this embodiment, the cover 4 can be installed to or removed from the main body 1 according to the actual needs of the user, thereby meeting the different needs of the user.

[0090] See also Figures 3 and 4 , Figures 3 and 4 This is a schematic diagram in which no cover 4 is provided on the main body 1; at this time, since there is no cover 4 on the main body 1, the user does not need to switch the state of the cover 4 when taking or placing items, so that the user can take or place items in the storage compartment 2.

[0091] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a cover 4 provided on the main body 1; at this time, the user can switch the state of the cover 4 so that the storage compartment 2 is in a closed environment, which is conducive to changing the temperature inside the storage compartment 2 and maintaining the temperature inside the storage compartment 2 to meet the storage environment required by different items.

[0092] In the above embodiment where the cover plate 4 is movably provided on the main body 1 , there is no limitation on the form of movable cooperation between the cover plate 4 and the main body 1 , which may be a sliding cooperation or a rotating cooperation.

[0093] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the cover 4 is rotatably arranged on the main body 1; that is, the user can open or close the opening of the storage compartment 2 by rotating the cover 4. The rotating switch method requires less space for movement than a sliding switch and is not easy to interfere with other components in the vehicle. Therefore, there is no need to leave more avoidance space in the vehicle for the rotation of the cover 4, thereby facilitating the assembly of other structures in the vehicle.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the angle of rotation of the cover 4 relative to the main body 1 is A; wherein A satisfies: 0°≤A≤180°; in this embodiment, the angle A of rotation of the cover 4 relative to the main body 1 is set to satisfy this interval range, thereby facilitating the user to store and retrieve items of different sizes into the storage compartment 2.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, the cover 4 is rotatably disposed on the main body 1 and can be removed from the main body 1, thereby meeting different usage requirements of users and the switch of the cover 4 does not occupy much space in the vehicle.

[0096] The switch of the cover plate 4 refers to the switch of the cover plate 4 between the first state and the second state.

[0097] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the cover plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the main body 1 via a detachable hinge to achieve assembly and disassembly of the cover plate 4 from the main body 1 and rotation of the cover plate 4 on the main body 1 .

[0098] In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle armrest storage structure also includes at least one first storage box 5, which is located on one side of the cover plate 4 and is movably arranged in the storage compartment 2; in this embodiment, the first storage box 5 is located in the storage compartment 2 to facilitate the user to store items in the storage compartment 2.

[0099] The first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4 may or may not have an assembly relationship; this is not limited here.

[0100] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, there is no assembly relationship between the first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4 . In this case, after the user opens the cover plate 4 , the user needs to take out the first storage box 5 in order to take out the items.

[0101] As in some other embodiments of the present application, there is an assembly relationship between the first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4. Then, after the user opens the cover plate 4, at least a portion of the first storage box 5 can be simultaneously driven to move out of the storage compartment 2, so that the items in the first storage box 5 can be taken out; such an arrangement can improve the portability of the vehicle armrest storage structure.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, the first storage box 5 is detachably connected to the cover 4; that is, the first storage box 5 can be assembled on the cover 4, so that after the user opens the cover 4, at least a portion of the first storage box 5 can be simultaneously driven out of the storage compartment 2 and the items in the first storage box 5 can be taken out, thereby improving the portability of the vehicle armrest storage structure.

[0103] Of course, when the user does not need to use the first storage box 5 , the user can detach the first storage box 5 from the cover plate 4 and only use the cover plate 4 to open or close the storage compartment 2 .

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle armrest storage structure also includes at least one second storage box 6, which is movably arranged in the storage compartment 2, and the second storage box 6 is arranged in the first storage box 5 or on one side of the first storage box 5; in this embodiment, by providing the second storage box 6, that is, the storage compartment 2 can have at least one first storage box 5 and at least one second storage box 6 at the same time, it is convenient for users to classify and store different items.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present application, the second storage box 6 can be detachably connected to at least one of the first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4; in this embodiment, by setting the second storage box 6 to be detachably connected to at least one of the first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4, the user can flexibly combine the second storage box 6, the first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4 according to the items to be stored, thereby facilitating the user to classify and store different items.

[0106] As in some embodiments of the present application, the second storage box 6 is assembled on the cover plate 4 ; in this case, the first storage box 5 can be provided in the storage compartment 2 or not.

[0107] As in some other embodiments of the present application, the second storage box 6 is assembled on the first storage box 5 ; in this case, the storage compartment 2 contains both the first storage box 5 and the second storage box 6 .

[0108] As in some other embodiments of the present application, the first storage box 5 and the second storage box 6 are not provided in the storage compartment 2 .

[0109] In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle armrest storage structure further includes at least one first matching portion and at least one second matching portion, the first matching portion is arranged on at least one of the first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4, and the second matching portion is arranged on the second storage box 6; wherein, the first matching portion and the second matching portion cooperate to fix the second storage box 6 to at least one of the first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4; that is, in this embodiment, the first matching portion and the second matching portion cooperate with each other to achieve fixed matching of the second storage box 6 with the first storage box 5 or the cover plate 4.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, the first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4 are both provided with a first matching portion.

[0111] There is no limitation on the form of engagement between the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion, and the engagement may be a snap connection or a screw connection.

[0112] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, one of the first mating portion and the second mating portion is a latching protrusion 7, and the other is a latching groove, and at least a portion of the latching protrusion 7 can be embedded in the latching groove; that is, in this embodiment, the second storage box 6 and the first storage box 5 or the cover plate 4 are fixedly mated together by the mutual cooperation of the latching protrusion 7 and the latching groove.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present application, the latching protrusion 7 can be inserted into the latching slot along the extending direction of the latching slot and cooperate with the latching slot.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present application, the first mating part is a card slot, and the second mating part is a card protrusion 7. The card protrusion 7 is arranged on the second storage box 6. Card slots are provided on the first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4, so that the second storage box 6 can be removably assembled to the first storage box 5 and the cover plate 4.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present application, the second matching portion is also provided on the first storage box 5, and the first storage box 5 is detachably connected to the cover plate 4 through the second matching portion. In this embodiment, the first storage box 5, the second storage box 6 and the cover plate 4 can all be detachably connected to each other through the cooperation of the first matching portion and the second matching portion, so that different combinations can be selected for cooperation according to the actual needs of the user, so as to flexibly place different items in the storage compartment 2 and classify different items.

[0116] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the cover plate 4 and the first storage box 5 are both provided with a card slot, and the first storage box 5 and the second storage box 6 are both provided with a card protrusion 7. Therefore, the cover plate 4, the first storage box 5, the second storage box 6 and the main body 1 have the following assembly relationships:

[0117] The main body 1 is rotatably provided with a cover plate 4 , a first storage box 5 is fixedly provided on the cover plate 4 , and a second storage box 6 is fixedly provided inside the first storage box 5 .

[0118] The main body 1 is rotatably provided with a cover plate 4 , and a first storage box 5 is fixedly provided on the cover plate 4 .

[0119] The main body 1 is rotatably provided with a cover plate 4 , and a second storage box 6 is fixedly provided on the cover plate 4 .

[0120] Only the cover plate 4 is rotatably provided on the main body 1 .

[0121] The main body 1 is not provided with a cover plate 4 , a first storage box 5 and a second storage box 6 .

[0122] See also Figures 6 and 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the size of the first storage box 5 is larger than the size of the second storage box 6; therefore, the second storage box 6 can be assembled inside the first storage box 5 when assembled with the first storage box 5.

[0123] There is no restriction on the shape of the second storage box 6 , and specific structural features can be designed for different items to be placed, so as to facilitate user use.

[0124] It should be supplemented that, when the shapes of the second storage box 6 are different, it is necessary to ensure that the latching protrusion 7 on the second storage box 6 can be matched with the latching groove on the first storage box 5 or the cover plate 4 .

[0125] See also Figure 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 includes a temperature conducting member 31, which is arranged in the storage compartment 2 or at least part of the temperature conducting member 31 forms a groove wall of the storage compartment 2; wherein the temperature of the temperature conducting member 31 can change; in this embodiment, the temperature inside the storage compartment 2 changes through the temperature change of the temperature conducting member 31, so that the user can adjust the temperature of the storage compartment 2 according to actual needs.

[0126] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the heat conducting member 31 is disposed in the storage compartment 2 and is semi-enclosed.

[0127] When the first storage box 5 is disposed in the storage compartment 2 , at least a portion of the first storage box 5 is located in the semi-enclosed space of the thermal conductive member 31 ; this ensures that the installation of the first storage box 5 does not interfere with the installation of the thermal conductive member 31 .

[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 also includes a temperature regulating component 32, which is used to control the temperature of the temperature conducting component 31; that is, in this embodiment, the temperature regulating component 32 is provided to control the temperature of the temperature conducting component 31, so that the temperature of the temperature conducting component 31 changes, and then the temperature inside the storage compartment 2 changes, so that the user can adjust the temperature of the storage compartment 2 according to actual needs.

[0129] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature regulating component 32 includes a liquid conduit 321, which is arranged on one side of the temperature conducting component 31 or inside the temperature conducting component 31, and a medium can be passed into the liquid conduit 321 to exchange heat with the temperature conducting component 31; that is, in this embodiment, media with different temperatures are transported through the liquid conduit 321, heat exchange is performed between the medium and the temperature conducting component 31, and heat exchange is performed between the temperature conducting component 31 and the environment in the storage compartment 2 to realize the cooling and heating functions of the storage compartment 2.

[0130] See also Figure 10 In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 also includes a compressor 33, which is connected to the temperature regulating component 32; both the compressor 33 and the temperature regulating component 32 can pass through the medium, and the compressor 33 is used to transport the medium to the temperature regulating component 32; in this embodiment, the compressor 33 can continuously transport the medium to the temperature regulating component 32 to ensure that the temperature of the temperature regulating component 32 is constant, and then ensure that the temperature of the heat conducting component 31 is constant, so as to achieve the stability of the temperature inside the storage compartment 2.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 also includes a heat exchanger 34, and the compressor 33, the heat exchanger 34 and the thermostat 32 are connected end to end in sequence; wherein, the compressor 33, the heat exchanger 34 and the thermostat 32 can all pass through the medium, and the medium can circulate between the compressor 33, the thermostat 32 and the heat exchanger 34; wherein, by arranging the medium to circulate between the compressor 33, the heat exchanger 34 and the thermostat 32, media of different temperatures can pass through the thermostat 32 and adjust the temperature of the temperature conducting component 31 to achieve the adjustment of the internal temperature of the storage compartment 2.

[0132] Specifically, when it is necessary to heat the internal environment of the storage compartment 2, the compressor 33 is controlled to transport the medium and heat the medium. The heated medium passes through the liquid conduit 321 and exchanges heat with the thermal conductive component 31. The thermal conductive component 31 transfers the heat to the storage compartment 2 to complete the insulation and heating function of the items in the storage compartment 2; at this time, the heat exchanger 34 is used to dissipate heat from the compressor 33 and the medium of the liquid conduit 321.

[0133] When it is necessary to cool the internal environment of the storage compartment 2, the compressor 33 is controlled to transport the medium and cool the medium. The cooled medium passes through the liquid conduit 321 and exchanges heat with the temperature conducting component 31. The temperature conducting component 31 transfers the heat to the storage compartment 2 to complete the refrigeration and cooling function of the items inside the storage compartment 2; at this time, the heat exchanger 34 is used to heat the medium of the compressor 33 and the liquid conduit 321.

[0134] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 includes a temperature conductor 31, a compressor 33 and a heat exchanger 34. A flow channel is opened in the temperature conductor 31, and the medium can flow in the flow channel in the temperature conductor 31. The temperature conductor 31, the compressor 33 and the heat exchanger 34 are connected to each other end to end through pipe sections, and the medium can flow between the temperature conductor 31, the compressor 33 and the heat exchanger 34 to adjust the temperature of the storage compartment 2 through the combination of the temperature conductor 31, the compressor 33 and the heat exchanger 34; wherein, the functions of the temperature conductor 31, the compressor 33 and the heat exchanger 34 refer to the above embodiments and are not repeated here.

[0135] In some embodiments of the present application, the main body 1 is further provided with an air inlet 8 connected to the storage compartment 2; the temperature-controlled air supply system 3 includes an air outlet device 35, the air outlet end of the air outlet device 35 is connected to the air inlet 8, and the air outlet device 35 can deliver airflow of different temperatures and / or different flow rates into the storage compartment 2 through the air inlet 8; that is, in this embodiment, the air outlet device 35 can deliver cold air or hot air to the storage compartment 2 according to the actual needs of the user, and can adjust the flow rate of the delivered airflow so that the storage compartment 2 can have a variety of storage environments.

[0136] For example, when the outdoor temperature is high, vegetables and fruits can be placed in the storage compartment 2 and the air outlet device 35 can be turned on. The air outlet device 35 can pass cold air with a temperature lower than the outdoor ambient temperature into the storage compartment 2, thereby ensuring that the vegetables and fruits are dry and fresh; when the outdoor temperature is low, food can be placed in the storage compartment 2 and the air outlet device 35 can be turned on. The air outlet device 35 can pass hot air with a temperature lower than the outdoor ambient temperature into the storage compartment 2, thereby maintaining the temperature of the food.

[0137] It can be understood that the method of using the air outlet device 35 to introduce cold air or hot air into the storage compartment 2 to change the temperature inside the storage compartment 2 can more effectively reduce energy consumption compared to the method of adjusting the temperature inside the storage compartment 2 using the temperature conducting element 31, the temperature regulating element 32, the compressor 33 and the heat exchanger 34.

[0138] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet device 35 is an air conditioner.

[0142] In some embodiments of the present application, barrier nets are provided at the air inlet 8 and the air outlet 9, or the air inlet 8 and the air outlet 9 are mesh-type vents to limit impurities from entering the storage compartment 2 through the air inlet 8 or the air outlet 9.

[0143] In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle armrest storage structure also includes a first channel 10 and a second channel 11, the first channel 10 is connected to the air outlet end and the air inlet 8 of the air outlet device 35, and the second channel 11 is connected to the air outlet 9; in this embodiment, the airflow blown out by the air outlet device 35 can flow from the first channel 10 into the storage compartment 2, and then flow out of the storage compartment 2 through the second channel 11.

[0144] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature-controlled air supply system also includes a third channel 12, and the air outlet end of the air outlet device 35 is also connected to the third channel 12; wherein, the second channel 11 is also connected to the third channel 12; in this embodiment, the air outlet device 35 can transport the airflow to the passenger compartment of the vehicle through the third channel 12 to adjust the temperature in the passenger compartment, and at the same time, the airflow blown out from the storage compartment 2 can also flow through the second channel 11 to the third channel 12 and then flow into the passenger compartment to adjust the temperature in the passenger compartment.

[0145] In some embodiments of the present application, the first channel 10 and the second channel 11 can be designed in the third channel 12 and opened and closed by an electrically controlled valve, thereby effectively reducing the volume of the vehicle armrest storage structure.

[0146] In some embodiments of the present application, the storage compartment 2 passes through the main body 1 in the horizontal direction. With this arrangement, the storage compartment 2 has two openings in the horizontal direction, making it convenient for passengers in different positions to take and place items in the storage compartment 2.

[0147] When the main body 1 is a sub-instrument panel, the storage compartment 2 passes through the sub-instrument panel in a horizontal direction to facilitate the driver and co-driver passengers to take out and put items in the storage compartment 2 .

[0148] It is understandable that, since the storage compartment 2 has two openings in the horizontal direction, the main body 1 can be provided with two cover plates 4 at positions corresponding to the two openings to seal the two openings of the storage compartment 2 .

[0149] In some embodiments of the present application, both cover plates 4 are detachably connected with a first storage box 5 and a second storage box 6; when both cover plates 4 are provided with a first storage box 5, the two first storage boxes 5 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction.
