Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly relates to an armrest assembly, a vehicle door, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] An armrest is usually provided at the vehicle door of a current automobile to support the arm of a passenger close to the door side, which plays an important role in ensuring riding comfort. With the development of the vehicle cockpit, the multi-posture design of seats is becoming increasingly rich. For example, the large reclining rest scenario is different from the normal riding posture. In the large reclining posture, the positions of a person's hands and elbows are significantly displaced. Most of the door panel armrests in the related art are adjusted longitudinally or horizontally in a single way, and cannot meet the support for the passenger's arm in the large reclining situation, affecting the riding experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the related art to some extent. For this purpose, an embodiment of the present invention provides an armrest assembly, which can meet the armrest adjustment in different usage scenarios and improve the riding experience.

[0038] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 16 shown, the armrest assembly of the embodiment of the present invention includes a first armrest 1, a second armrest 2, a lifting assembly 3 and a transmission assembly 9. The first armrest 1 is adapted to be connected to the door body 10. The lifting assembly 3 includes a first guide rail 31 and a lifting member. The first guide rail 31 is connected to the door body 10. The first guide rail 31 extends in the height direction of the vehicle. One end of the lifting member is connected to the first armrest 1, and the other end of the lifting member is clamped in the first guide rail 31. The lifting assembly 3 drives the first armrest 1 to be movable relative to the door body 10 in the height direction of the vehicle. The transmission assembly 9 includes a second driving gear 91, a first driving rod 92 and a link member 93. The second driving gear 91 is connected to the lifting assembly 3. One end of the first driving rod 92 is engaged with the second driving gear 91. The other end of the first driving rod 92 is connected to the link member 93. One end of the link member 93 is connected to the first armrest 1, and the other end of the link member 93 is connected to the second armrest. The link member 93 is rotatable relative to the first armrest 1, and the rotation axis of the link member 93 extends in the width direction of the vehicle.

[0040] According to the armrest assembly of the embodiment of the present invention, when it is necessary to adjust the armrest assembly, the first armrest 1 can be driven by the lifting assembly 3 to move in the up and down direction to realize the longitudinal adjustment of the armrest assembly. By providing the second driving gear 91, the first driving rod 92 and the link member 93 connected to the lifting assembly 3, when the first armrest 1 moves up and down, the lifting assembly 3 can drive the second driving gear 91 to rotate, so that the first driving rod 92 drives the link member 93 to rotate, and further the lower end of the link member 93 moves in the front and rear direction of the vehicle, thereby realizing the adjustment of the armrest assembly in the front and rear direction of the vehicle.

[0041] When the occupant lies down, the height of the first armrest 1 can be lowered, and the position of the second armrest 2 in the front and rear direction of the vehicle can be adjusted, so as to meet the arm support in the lying state. When the occupant is sitting normally on the seat, the first armrest 1 and the second armrest 2 can be reset. Therefore, the armrest assembly of the embodiment of the present invention can meet the armrest adjustment in different use scenarios, which is beneficial to improving the riding experience of the occupants.

[0042] Specifically, the rear end of the first armrest 1 is connected to the front end of the door body 10. The first armrest 1 is movable in the up and down direction. The lower end of the first armrest 1 is connected to the upper end of the second armrest 2.

[0043] The lifting component 3 can be a lifting motor or a lifting oil cylinder. One end of the lifting component 3 is fixed to the vehicle door body 10, and the movable end of the lifting component 3 is connected to the first armrest 1. The first armrest 1 is driven by the lifting component 3 to move in the up and down direction, thereby adjusting the height of the armrest assembly.

[0044] One end of the transmission component 9 is connected to the first armrest 1, and the other end of the transmission component 9 is connected to the second armrest 2. The transmission component 9 can be a telescopic motor, a telescopic oil cylinder or a driving link mechanism. The first armrest 1 and the second armrest 2 are driven by the transmission component 9 to unfold or fold in the front and rear directions of the vehicle, or to unfold and retract. In other words, the position of the second armrest 2 in the front and rear directions of the vehicle can change relative to the first armrest 1, thereby adjusting the position of the armrest assembly in the front and rear directions of the vehicle.

[0045] The transmission component 9 moves the second armrest 2 in the front and rear directions of the vehicle, increasing the support area of the armrest assembly in the front and rear directions of the vehicle, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the second armrest 2 in the front and rear directions of the vehicle, and facilitating the support of the palm and elbow of the passenger in different sitting postures. For example, when the passenger is lying down, the height of the passenger's elbow in the up and down direction decreases, and the second armrest 2 moves with the first armrest 1 in the up and down direction, thereby supporting the palm and elbow of the passenger and enhancing the passenger's use experience.

[0046] It can be understood that the second armrest 2 has a retracted state and an unfolded state, and the swing of the link member 93 in the front and rear directions of the vehicle causes the second armrest 2 to change between the retracted state and the unfolded state. When the passenger lies down, the height of the first armrest 1 can be reduced, and the position of the second armrest 2 in the front and rear directions of the vehicle can be adjusted, thereby meeting the arm support in the lying state, improving the riding experience, and the link member 93 can ensure the stability and safety of the second armrest 2 during the movement.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second armrest 2 has an unfolded state and a retracted state. In the retracted state, the second armrest 2 is hidden under the first armrest 1. In the unfolded state, the first armrest 1 extends out of the second armrest 2. In the retracted state, the side of the first armrest 1 adjacent to the second armrest 2 contacts the side of the second armrest 2 adjacent to the first armrest 1.

[0048] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, the lower end of the first armrest has a first mating portion 11, and the upper end of the second armrest has a second mating portion 22. The outer contours of the first mating portion 11 and the second mating portion 22 are mutually adapted. In other words, the outer contours of the first mating portion 11 and the second mating portion 22 are the same, and when the second armrest 2 is in the retracted state, the first mating portion 11 and the second mating portion 22 are in contact with each other.

[0049] The second armrest 2 has a deployed state and a retracted state. In the retracted state, the second armrest 2 is located directly below the first armrest 1. For example, a groove is provided below the first armrest 1 to facilitate at least partial insertion of the upper end of the second armrest 2 into the groove to hide the second armrest 2 and reduce the volume of the armrest assembly when not deployed. When the passenger is sitting and not lying down, the arm and elbow are placed on the first armrest 1.

[0050] In the deployed state, the first armrest 1 moves downward, the height of the first armrest 1 in the vertical direction decreases, the second armrest 2 moves away from the first armrest 1, and the second armrest 2 moves to the left. In other words, while the second armrest 2 moves to the left, the downward movement of the first armrest 1 drives the second armrest 2 to move downward, that is, the second armrest 2 moves in the lower left direction away from the first armrest 1, thereby increasing the size of the armrest assembly in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and increasing the support area of the first armrest 1 and the second armrest 2 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0051] When the passenger lies down in the vehicle, the height of the palm and elbow in the vertical direction decreases. The first armrest 1 moves downward to facilitate supporting the passenger's palm, and the second armrest 2 decreases in height in the vertical direction and moves to the left to support the elbow of the passenger's arm, meeting the usage requirements of different postures of the passenger and enhancing the passenger's usage experience. Further, the position of the first armrest 1 in the vertical direction and the position of the second armrest 2 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle can also be adjusted, thereby meeting the usage of passengers of different body sizes.

[0052] In some embodiments, the lifting component includes a first driving gear 32 and a first slider 33. The first guide rail 31 is connected to the door body 10. The first guide rail 31 extends along the height direction of the vehicle. The first slider 33 is clamped on the first guide rail 31, and the first slider 33 is movable along the extending direction of the first guide rail 31. The first driving gear 32 is connected to the first slider 33. A rack meshing with the first driving gear 32 is provided on the first guide rail 31. The armrest assembly further includes a driver 4. The driver 4 is connected to the first armrest 1, and the output shaft of the driver 4 is connected to the first driving gear 32.

[0053] Specifically, the first guide rail 31 extends in the vertical direction. The first slider 33 is clamped on the first guide rail 31. The front end of the first slider 33 is connected to the rear end of the first driving gear 32. The first slider 33 is movable along the vertical direction on the first guide rail 31.

[0054] A rack meshing with the first driving gear 32 is provided on the first guide rail 31. The rack extends in the vertical direction. The output shaft of the driver 4 is connected to the first driving gear 32. The front end of the driver 4 is connected to the rear end of the first armrest 1. The rear end of the first guide rail 31 is connected to the door body 10.

[0055] AsFigure 2 As shown, when the output shaft of the driver 4 rotates clockwise, the first slider 33 moves downward, and then the first driving gear 32, the driver 4 and the first armrest 1 move downward. The downward movement of the first armrest 1 causes the second armrest 2 to change from the retracted state to the deployed state. When the armrest assembly changes from the deployed state to the retracted state, Figure 2 in, the output shaft of the driver 4 rotates counterclockwise, and the first slider 33, the first driving gear 32 and the first armrest 1 move upward, thereby causing the second armrest 2 to change from the deployed state to the retracted state.

[0056] For the armrest assembly of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the driver 4 and the lifting assembly 3, the front end of the driver 4 is connected to the first armrest 1, and the rear end of the first guide rail 31 is connected to the vehicle door body 10. Then, the rotation of the output shaft of the driver 4 causes the slider, the first driving gear 32 and the first armrest 1 to move in the up and down directions, which is convenient for supporting the palms of passengers in the lying and non-lying states, meets different usage scenarios, and improves the usage experience of the armrest assembly.

[0057] In some embodiments, the armrest assembly further includes a second guide rail 5 and a second slider 6. The second guide rail 5 is connected to the vehicle door body 10. The second guide rail 5 and the first guide rail 31 are arranged at intervals in the vehicle length direction, and the second guide rail 5 and the first guide rail 31 are arranged in parallel. The second slider 6 is clamped on the second guide rail 5, and the second slider 6 is connected to the first armrest 1.

[0058] Specifically, the rear end of the second guide rail 5 is connected to the vehicle door body 10. The second guide rail 5 extends in the up and down direction. The second guide rail 5 and the first guide rail 31 are arranged at intervals in the vehicle front-rear direction. The front end of the second slider 6 is connected to the left end of the first armrest 1. The second slider 6 is clamped on the second guide rail 5. The second slider 6 is movable in the up and down direction. The second guide rail 5 and the second guide rail 5 are arranged in parallel in the up and down direction. Then, when the output shaft of the driver 4 rotates to cause the first slider 33 to move in the up and down direction on the first guide rail 31, the first armrest 1 causes the second slider 6 to move in the up and down direction on the second guide rail 5. The parallel arrangement of the second guide rail 5 and the first guide rail 31 makes the movement of the first armrest 1 in the up and down direction smoother, and avoids the wear between the first guide rail 31 and the first slider 33 and between the second guide rail 5 and the second slider 6 caused by the non-parallel arrangement of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 5 in the up and down direction. The connection between the second slider 6 and the first armrest 1 limits and guides the movement of the first armrest 1 in the up and down direction.

[0059] In the armrest assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the second slider 6 and the second guide rail 5, the movement of the first armrest 1 in the up and down directions is guided and limited, and the second guide rail 5 and the first guide rail 31 are arranged in parallel in the up and down directions, avoiding the wear between the first slider 33 and the first guide rail 31 during up and down movement, and avoiding the wear between the second slider 6 and the second guide rail 5, improving the smoothness of the up and down movement of the first slider 33 on the first guide rail 31, and improving the smoothness of the up and down movement of the second slider 6 on the second guide rail 5, thereby improving the use experience of the armrest assembly.

[0060] In some embodiments, the armrest assembly further includes a first fixing member 7 and a second fixing member 8. The first fixing member 7 and the second fixing member 8 are respectively connected to the vehicle door body 10. The first guide rail 31 is connected to the first fixing member 7, and the second guide rail 5 is connected to the second fixing member 8.

[0061] Specifically, the first fixing member 7 and the second fixing member 8 are arranged at intervals in the front and rear directions of the vehicle. The rear end of the first guide rail 31 is connected to the front end of the first fixing member 7, and the rear end of the second guide rail 5 is connected to the front end of the second fixing member 8. The rear end of the first fixing member 7 is connected to the front end of the vehicle door body 10, and the rear end of the second fixing member 8 is connected to the vehicle door body 10. The first fixing member 7 and the second fixing member 8 can be installed first, which is convenient for the installation and positioning of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 5. Different first fixing members 7 and second fixing members 8 can also be replaced to suit different vehicle doors, or the positions of the first fixing member 7 and the second fixing member 8 on the vehicle door can be adjusted to adjust the position of the first armrest 1 on the vehicle door, so as to meet different usage requirements.

[0062] In some embodiments, in the length direction of the vehicle, the transmission assembly 9 is located between the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 5.

[0063] Specifically, in the front and rear directions of the vehicle, the transmission assembly 9 is located between the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 9, which can improve the structural compactness of the armrest assembly and reduce the occupied space of the armrest assembly.

[0064] The driver 4 is connected to the transmission assembly 9, and the transmission assembly 9 drives the second armrest 2 to move in the front and rear directions of the vehicle. It is easy to understand that when the first armrest 1 moves in the up and down directions, the second armrest 2 moves in the up and down directions accordingly.

[0065] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 9 includes a second driving gear 91, a first driving rod 92, a third driving gear 94 and a link member 93. The second driving gear 91 is connected to the output shaft of the driver 4, and the third driving gear 94 is connected to the link member 93.

[0066] The first driving rod 92 is pivotally connected to the first armrest 1. The first driving rod 92 has a first end and a second end in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The first end and the second end respectively have a first tooth portion 921 and a second tooth portion 922. The first tooth portion 921 meshes with the second driving gear 91, and the second tooth portion 922 meshes with the third driving gear 94.

[0067] Specifically, the connecting rod member 93 includes a second driving rod 931 and a third driving rod 932. The third driving gear 94 is fixedly connected to one end of the second driving rod 931. The end of the second driving rod 931 away from the third driving gear 94 is pivotally connected to the second armrest 2. One end of the third driving rod 932 is pivotally connected to the first armrest 1, and the other end of the third driving rod 932 is pivotally connected to the second armrest 2.

[0068] Specifically, the second driving gear 91 is connected to the output shaft of the driver 4. In other words, the second driving gear 91 is sleeved on the output shaft of the driver 4. The first driving rod 92 extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The right end of the first driving rod 92 has a first tooth portion 921, and the left end of the first driving rod 92 has a second tooth portion 922. The first tooth portion 921 meshes with the second driving gear 91, and the second tooth portion 922 meshes with the third driving gear 94. The third driving gear 94 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second driving rod 931, and the third driving gear 94 rotates relative to the second driving rod 931. The lower end of the second driving rod 931 is pivotally connected to the second armrest 2. The middle section of the first driving rod 92 is pivotally connected to the first armrest 1. It can be understood that any part of the first driving rod 92 between the first tooth portion 921 and the second tooth portion 922 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is pivotally connected to the first armrest 1.

[0069] As Figure 2 shown, when the output shaft of the driver 4 rotates clockwise, the first tooth portion 921 moves upward, and the second tooth portion 922 moves downward. Thereby, the third driving gear 94 rotates. The third driving gear 94 drives the second driving rod 931 to rotate clockwise. Thereby, the lower end of the second driving rod 931 moves leftward. And the movement of the first armrest 1 in the up-down direction drives the second armrest 2 to move in the up-down direction, that is, the downward movement of the first armrest 1 drives the second armrest 2 to move downward. The upper end of the third driving rod 932 is pivotally connected to the first armrest 1, and the lower end of the third driving rod 932 is pivotally connected to the second armrest 2. When the lower end of the second driving rod 931 moves leftward, the lower end of the third driving rod 932 moves leftward accordingly. The third driving rod 932 and the second driving rod 931 cooperate to guide and limit the movement of the second armrest 2.

[0070] As Figure 2As shown, when the driver 4 rotates counterclockwise, the first tooth part 921 moves downward, and the second tooth part 922 moves upward, thereby causing the third driving gear 94 to rotate. The third driving gear 94 drives the second driving rod 931 to rotate clockwise. Then, the lower end of the second driving rod 931 moves to the right. Moreover, the movement of the first armrest 1 in the up-and-down direction drives the second armrest 2 to move in the up-and-down direction, that is, the downward movement of the first armrest 1 drives the upward movement of the second armrest 2. The upper end of the third driving rod 932 is pivotally connected to the first armrest 1, and the lower end of the third driving rod 932 is pivotally connected to the second armrest 2. When the lower end of the second driving rod 931 moves to the right, the lower end of the third driving rod 932 moves to the right. When only the second driving rod 931 drives the second armrest 2 to move in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the second armrest 2 rotates relative to the first armrest 1, and it is impossible to limit and guide the second armrest 2. By providing the third driving rod 932, the third driving rod 932 and the second driving rod 931 cooperate to guide and limit the movement of the second armrest 2, thereby preventing the second armrest 2 from flipping downward due to gravity during the movement.

[0071] In the armrest assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the second driving gear 91, the first driving rod 92, the third driving gear 94, the second driving rod 931, and the third driving rod 932, the rotation of the first driving rod 92 can be driven indirectly to drive the rotation of the second driving rod 931 and the third driving rod 932. Then, the lower ends of the second driving rod 931 and the third driving rod 932 move in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, so that the second armrest 2 is transformed between the retracted state and the deployed state, improving the stability and safety of the second armrest 2 during the movement. Moreover, by providing one driver 4, the first armrest 1 and the second armrest 2 can be adjusted. The first armrest 1 moves in the up-and-down direction, and while the first armrest 1 drives the second armrest 2 to move in the up-and-down direction, the driver 4 drives the transmission assembly 9 to drive the second armrest 2 to move in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, reducing the cost of the armrest assembly, enabling the synchronous adjustment of the first armrest 1 and the second armrest 2, and improving the smoothness and stability of the adjustment of the first armrest 1 and the second armrest 2.

[0072] In some embodiments, the second armrest 2 includes an armrest sheet metal 21, and the armrest sheet metal 21 is pivotally connected to the third driving rod 932 and the second driving rod 931.

[0073] Specifically, the armrest sheet metal 21 is pivotally connected to the lower end of the third driving rod 932, and the armrest sheet metal 21 is pivotally connected to the lower end of the second driving rod 931. Then, the movement of the lower end of the second driving rod 931 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle drives the third driving rod 932 to move in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, making the movements of the second driving rod 931 and the third driving rod 932 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle synchronous, enhancing the smoothness of the second armrest 2 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and thus improving the visual experience of using the armrest assembly.

[0074] The door of the embodiment of the present invention includes a door body 10 and an armrest assembly. The armrest assembly is the armrest assembly of any one of the above, and the first armrest 1 is connected to the door body 10.

[0075] Specifically, the rear end of the armrest assembly is connected to the door body 10. In the retracted state, the first armrest 1 and the second armrest 2 approach each other in the vertical direction to reduce the volume of the armrest assembly, thereby facilitating the support of the passenger's palm and elbow during riding. In the deployed state, the first armrest 1 moves downward and the second armrest 2 moves leftward to increase the support area of the armrest assembly in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the lowered armrest assembly is convenient for supporting the passenger's palm and elbow in the lying state, improving the passenger's use experience.

[0076] Furthermore, the position of the first armrest 1 in the vertical direction and the position of the second armrest 2 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle can be adjusted to meet the usage requirements of passengers of different body sizes.

[0077] The door of the embodiment of the present invention, adopting the above armrest assembly, can meet the armrest adjustment in different usage scenarios and improve the riding experience.

[0078] The vehicle of the embodiment of the present invention includes the door as described above.

[0079] The vehicle of the embodiment of the present invention, adopting the above door, adjusts the armrest assembly to meet the support of the passenger's palm and elbow in different riding states, meets the armrest adjustment in different usage scenarios, and improves the riding experience.
