Detailed implementation manners

[0044] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related invention, rather than limiting the invention. In addition, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only the parts related to the invention are shown in the drawings.

[0045] It should be noted that the armrest box provided by the present application is a box body with a storage function provided at the central armrest position of the vehicle, which can be an armrest box only with a storage function, or an in-vehicle temperature box with refrigeration and heating functions. Without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 - 24 The structural schematic diagram of an armrest box cover body structure with a two-way switch mechanism provided by the present embodiment shown in the figure, including: a cover body 12 rotatably arranged on the top of the armrest box body 11; a two-way switch mechanism is arranged inside the cover body 12; The two-way switch mechanism at least includes: a first switch assembly and a second switch assembly arranged inside the cover body 12; The first switch assembly includes a first key 01 arranged on one side of the cover body 12, and a connection structure drivingly connected to the first key 01. The second switch assembly includes a second key 02 arranged on the other side of the cover body 12, and a connection structure 5 drivingly connected to the second key 02. The connection structures 5 are both clamped to the armrest box body 11; After the first key 01 or the second key 02 is pressed, it can drive the respective connection structure 5 to release the clamping with the armrest box body 11, so that the cover body 12 is opened according to the position of the key in the pressed state.

[0047] The armrest box 1 is arranged inside the car, and its main function is to provide a convenient storage space for the driver and passengers; specifically, the armrest box 1 mainly includes: an armrest box body 11 and a cover body 12 rotatably arranged on the top of the armrest box body 11, and the opening and closing of the armrest box is realized by controlling the opening and closing of the cover body 12, and the space inside the armrest box body 11 provides storage convenience for passengers; in the embodiment of the present application, in order to make it easier for passengers to open the cover body 12, a two-way switch mechanism is arranged in the cover body 12 to meet the operational requirements of passengers sitting in different positions to conveniently open the armrest box.

[0048] Specifically, the two-way switch mechanism at least includes: a first switch assembly and a second switch assembly arranged inside the cover body 12, and the first switch assembly and the second switch assembly also respectively include a first switch key 01 and a second switch key 02 arranged on different sides of the cover body 12, which is more convenient for passengers on both sides of the front row to press, so that the cover body 12 can be flipped toward itself and opened; because the first switch assembly and the second switch assembly are also transmission-connected with the connecting structure 5, in actual application scenarios, after being pressed, the first switch key 01 or the second switch key 02 can be driven by the respective The connected connecting structure 5 is separated from the armrest box body 11; that is, when the connecting structure 5 is engaged with the armrest box body 11, the cover body 12 naturally cannot be separated from the armrest box body 11, but when the connecting structure 5 is unengaged from the armrest box body 11, the cover body 12 can be flipped open in the direction of the first switch key 01 or the second switch key 02 corresponding to the separated connecting structure 5. At this time, the connecting structure 5 on the other side that has not been separated from the armrest box body 11 also becomes a rotating support point for the cover body 12 to flip open, that is, the cover body 12 opens according to the position of the switch key in the pressed state.

[0049] It can be seen that by arranging a switch on each side, the function of opening the upper cover of the armrest on both sides can be realized, so that the passengers in the main driving and co-pilot positions can open the armrest box conveniently, but it is still inconvenient for the rear passengers to open it. In view of this, in a preferred embodiment, the two-way switch mechanism also includes: a linkage switch assembly 8, the linkage switch assembly 8 includes at least one third switch key 03 arranged on the cover 12 and at least one side adjacent to the side where the first switch assembly is located; The third switch key 03 is connected to the connection structure 5 corresponding to the first switch assembly, or is connected to the connection structure 5 corresponding to the second switch assembly. When the third switch key 03 is pressed, the connection structure 5 connected to it can be released from the armrest box main body 11.

[0050] Specifically, see Figures 21 - 24, the third key 03 included in the linkage switch assembly 8 can be linked with the first switch assembly. Of course, it can also be the second switch assembly, and no special limitation is made specifically; the design position of the third key 03 needs to be on different sides of the cover body 12 from the first switch assembly and the second switch assembly. For example, if the first switch assembly and the second switch assembly are set on the left and right sides of the armrest box 1 to meet the basic needs of passengers, then the third key 03 included in the linkage switch assembly 8 can be set on the front side or the rear side of the armrest box 1. In this way, not only can more operable keys be provided for passengers, but it is also convenient for passengers in different positions to touch and press.

[0051] Furthermore, the linkage switch assembly 8 may further include: a fourth key, which is set on the side of the cover body 12 opposite to the third key 03, that is, on a side different from the third key 03, the first key 01, and the second key 02; the fourth key here can also be connected to the connection structure 5 in the first switch assembly or the second switch assembly, so as to release the clamping connection with the armrest box main body 11 by pressing the fourth key.

[0052] It should be explained that the fourth key, the third key 03, the first key 01, and the second key 02 are preferably set on four different sides of the cover body 12, and the fourth key and the third key 03 need to be connected to different connection structures 5.

[0053] Combined with the above introduction of the connection relationships of each key, the following will further explain according to Figures 4 - 6 the actual pressing conditions for opening the armrest box 1. Figures 4 - 6 The arrow schematic symbols in Figure 4 are the keys to be pressed; as can be seen from

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the cover body 12 includes: a fixing plate 6 and a top cover 7 provided on the fixing plate 6; a mounting space for a two-way switch mechanism is formed between the fixing plate 6 and the top cover 7.

[0055] Specifically, the cover 12 of the armrest box body 11 includes a fixing plate 6 and a top cover 7. The fixing plate 6 forms an installation space for the two-way switch mechanism. The installation space is a space for fixing and installing the first switch assembly, the second switch assembly, and the linkage switch assembly 8. On the fixing plate 6, a plurality of positioning and clamping structures can be provided to achieve the quick positioning and installation of each component, accelerate the assembly efficiency of the two-way switch mechanism and the cover 12, and also provide a guiding direction for the movement of the components inside the switch assembly.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figures 4 - 6 , the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 16 provided on the top surface of the armrest box body 11, and both ends of the connecting structure 5 are rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 16 respectively, so that when one of the connecting structures 5 is disengaged from the armrest box body 11, the cover 12 can be flipped open around the other connecting structure 5.

[0057] Specifically, the armrest box 1 is similar in appearance to a conventional armrest box. The first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 16 on its top surface are both rotatably connected to the cover 12. Essentially, it means that both connecting structures 5 are provided between the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 16, and both ends of the connecting structure 5 are rotatably connected to the corresponding side walls of the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 16 respectively, so as to provide stable support for the two-way flipping and opening of the cover 12. When the first key 01 or the second key 02 is pressed, the corresponding connecting structure 5 will be unlocked from the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 16, so that the cover 12 can be opened; in addition, referring to Figure 3 or Figure 4 , when the first connecting seat 9 and the cover 12 are in a connected state, their top surfaces are flush, and the overall appearance of the armrest box 1 is complete. The second connecting seat 16 is provided in the middle of the cover 12 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cover 12. When the second connecting seat 16 and the cover 12 are in a connected state, the cover 12 covers the outside of the second connecting seat 16.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figures 12 - 21 , the connecting structure 5 includes: A rotating transmission plate 10, which is rotatably arranged on the fixing plate 6, and at least three transmission ends 13 are provided on the rotating transmission plate 10; among them, the transmission end 13 for receiving the acting force transmitted by the first key 01 or the second key 02 and driving the rotating transmission plate 10 to rotate is used as the key-connected transmission end; A key transmission plate 14, which is connected to the key-connected transmission end. One end of the key transmission plate 14 extending outside the fixing plate 6 is used to connect to the first key 01 or the second key 02; the acting force at the first key 01 or the second key 02 can be transmitted to the key transmission plate 14, so that the key transmission plate 14 drives the rotating transmission plate 10 to rotate; The front drive plate 15 is connected to the drive end 13 of the rotary drive plate 10 on the side close to the first key 01 or the second key 02; a first clamping portion 17 for clamping with the first connecting seat 9 is provided on the front drive plate 15; when the key drive plate 14 drives the rotary drive plate 10 to rotate, the front drive plate 15 moves to the side away from the first connecting seat 9, and the first clamping portion 17 is disengaged from the first connecting seat 9. The rear drive plate 18 is connected to the drive end 13 of the rotary drive plate 10 on the side away from the first key 01 or the second key 02, and a second clamping portion 19 for clamping with the second connecting seat 16 is provided on the rear drive plate 18; when the key drive plate 14 drives the rotary drive plate 10 to rotate, the rear drive plate 18 moves to the side away from the second connecting seat 16, and the second clamping portion 19 is disengaged from the armrest box body 11; wherein, the second clamping portion 19 and the first clamping portion 17 are coaxially arranged.

[0059] Specifically, referring to Figure 22 , the first switch assembly and the second switch assembly on the fixed plate 6 are arranged side by side, and the connection structures 5 in the two switch assemblies are symmetrically arranged; here, the rotary drive plate 10 is a component that drives the key drive plate 14 and the front drive plate 15 to rotate, and is also the key to realizing the clamping and unlocking of the cover body 12; combined with Figure 2 It can be seen that the rotary drive plate 10 in the embodiment of the present application has a triangular structure, and a drive end 13 is provided at each vertex angle, that is, the three drive ends 13 are arranged staggeredly. A connection hole is opened in the middle of the rotary drive plate 10 for rotatably connecting with the rotating shaft 24 on the fixed plate 6; taking Figure 2 the perspective of the rotary drive plate 10 in as an example, the drive end 13 (key-connected drive end) located in the middle or at the vertex angle of the triangular structure at this time among the three drive ends 13 is connected to the key drive plate 14, and the end of the key drive plate 14 extending outside the fixed plate 6 is used to connect with the first key 01 or the second key 02. Then, after the first key 01 or the second key 02 is pressed, the key drive plate 14 will actually drive the rotary drive plate 10 to rotate around the rotating shaft 24 in the direction close to the inside of the cover body 12.

[0060] Next, the drive end 13 on the side close to the outside of the cover body 12 among the three drive ends 13 is connected to the front drive plate 15. When the key drive plate 14 drives the rotary drive plate 10 to rotate around the rotating shaft 24 in the direction close to the inside of the cover body 12, based on the shape of the rotary drive plate 10 and the connection position of the front drive plate 15, at this time, the front drive plate 15 will move away from the first connecting seat 9 under the drive of the rotary drive plate 10, and the first clamping portion 17 is pulled out from the shaft hole in the first connecting seat 9, completing the separation of the first connecting portion from the storage box body 1.

[0061] Furthermore, the connecting structure 5 further includes a rear transmission plate 18 that is snap-connected to the second connecting seat 16. The rear transmission plate 18 is located on the side of the front transmission plate 15 close to the inside of the cover body 12. The rear transmission plate 18 is connected to the remaining one transmission end 13, and undertakes the motion state of the aforementioned rotating transmission plate 10. When the front transmission plate 15 moves away from the first connecting seat 9 under the drive of the rotating transmission plate 10, at this time, the transmission end 13 connected to the rear transmission plate 18 will move towards the first connecting seat 9 under the rotation of the rotating transmission plate 10. Then, the second engaging portion 19 that is snap-connected to the second connecting seat 16 at the bottom of the rear transmission plate 18 will also be pulled out, realizing the separation from the second connecting seat 16.

[0062] It should be noted that, combined with Figure 20 the arrow markings above, the above actions are a linkage process. Following one rotation of the rotating transmission plate 10, that is, after the power switch is pressed by the user, the key transmission plate 14 receives the corresponding pressing force and drives the rotating transmission plate 10 to rotate towards the inside of the cover body 12 around the rotating shaft 24. The front transmission plate 15 will move away from the first connecting seat 9 under the drive of the rotating transmission plate 10, and the rear transmission plate 18 will move towards the first connecting seat 9 under the drive of the rotating transmission plate 10. The first engaging portion 17 and the second engaging portion 19 are respectively separated from the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 16; in addition, for the structural forms of the first engaging portion 17 and the second engaging portion 19, a rotating shaft can be selected, and the rotating shaft can be inserted into the connecting holes opened on the inner walls of the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 16. Other snap-connecting structures can also be selected, such as snap-connecting blocks or other snap-connecting protrusions, which can be separately arranged from the corresponding transmission plates or integrally formed. No special limitation is made here.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, the linkage switch assembly 8 includes: at least one linkage key transmission plate 20; The number of the linkage key transmission plates 20 is correspondingly set according to the number of power switches included in the linkage switch assembly 8. One end of the linkage key transmission plate 20 is connected to the third power switch 03, and the other end thereof is rotatably connected to the rotating transmission plate 10 corresponding to the first power switch 01.

[0064] Specifically, in the linkage switch assembly 8, in order to achieve the linkage with the first switch assembly, that is, whether the third power switch 03 or the first power switch 01 in the first switch assembly is pressed, the action of opening on the side where the first power switch 01 is located can be performed (specifically, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6); The linkage switch assembly 8 further includes a linkage button drive plate 20 corresponding to the number of key switches included in the linkage switch assembly 8. The linkage button drive plate 20 needs to be connected to the drive end 13 on the corresponding rotary drive plate 10 to ensure that the third key switch 03 and the first key switch 01 rotate in the same direction when driving the connection structure 5 to rotate, so that the second latching portion 19 and the first latching portion 17 can be smoothly disengaged.

[0065] Furthermore, it can also be combined with Figures 23 - 26 to see that the number of linkage button drive plates 20 can be one or two, and they are respectively matched with different switch assemblies. For example, comparing Figure 23 and Figure 1 as well as Figure 24 and Figure 25 shown in the connection method, the linkage button drive plate 20 is connected to the switch assemblies on different sides. Then, when pressing the key switch corresponding to the linkage button drive plate 20 at this time, the flipping and opening directions of the cover body 12 are also different; Figure 26 That is, two linkage button drive plates 20 are provided and are respectively connected to different switch assemblies. Under the same principle, pressing the key switches latched with the two linkage button drive plates 20 at this time will also make the flipping and opening directions of the cover body 12 different. If the two linkage button drive plates 20 are connected to the switch assemblies on the same side, the flipping and opening directions of the cover body 12 are the same. Therefore, the design of the linkage button drive plate 20 here needs to be considered in combination with the actual situation.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the rear drive plate 18 away from the second connection seat 16 has a latching end 181; a limit latching member 21 corresponding to the rear drive plate 18 is rotatably provided on the fixing plate 6, and the limit latching member 21 is provided with a latching groove 211 corresponding to the latching end 181; when the first latching portion 17 and the second latching portion 19 are unlocked and latched with the first connection seat 9 and the second connection seat 16, under the rotation of the rotary drive plate 10, the latching end 181 can be latched into the latching groove 211.

[0067] Specifically, referring to Figure 14 , Figure 18 and Figure 21 , in the normal state, after the passenger presses the key switch and then releases it, it is necessary to ensure that the first latching portion 17 and the second latching portion 19 are continuously disengaged. Therefore, one end of the rear drive plate 18 away from the second connection seat 9 is the latching end 181. When the rear drive plate 18 moves upward under the drive of the rotary drive plate 10, the latching end 181 can be latched into the latching groove 211 to achieve fixed latching, ensuring that after the action of the passenger pressing the key switch ends, the first latching portion 17 and the second latching portion 19 can be continuously separated from the first connection seat 9 and the second connection seat 16 under the latching of the latching end 181 and the latching groove 211.

[0068] In addition, the limit clamping member 21 further includes a pressing end 212 extending outside the fixed plate 6. When the cover body 12 is closed, the pressing end 212 is in contact with and pressed by the armrest box body 11 under the drive of the cover body 12, and rotates in a direction away from the engaging end 181, and the limit clamping member 21 is separated from the rear transmission plate 18.

[0069] In this way, only when the passenger presses down the cover body 12, the armrest box body 11 will press the limit clamping member 21, causing the limit clamping member 21 to disengage from the engaging end 181. At this time, the first clamping portion 17 and the second clamping portion 19 lose the clamping force, and the first clamping portion 17 and the second clamping portion 19 are reinserted into the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 16.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of positioning and clamping structures are provided on the fixed plate 6, and the positioning and clamping structures are used to clamp the components in the first switch assembly, the second switch assembly, and the linkage switch assembly 8; Among them, at least one through hole is formed on each of the front transmission plate 15 and the rear transmission plate 18, and a convex portion 22 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole; one of the plurality of positioning and clamping structures is located in the through hole and is fixed with an elastic element 23 in cooperation with the convex portion 22.

[0071] Specifically, in combination with the above-mentioned situation that after the first clamping portion 17 and the second clamping portion 19 lose the clamping force, the first clamping portion 17 and the second clamping portion 19 will be reinserted into the first connecting seat 9 and the second connecting seat 16. In order to ensure the quick reset, through holes for arranging the elastic element 23 are also formed on the front transmission plate 15 and the rear transmission plate 18; when the cover body 12 is opened, the elastic element 23 is compressed by force, and after the clamping force is released, the elastic element 23 releases its elasticity to assist the first clamping portion 17 and the second clamping portion 19 to quickly reset.

[0072] It should be explained that for the positioning and clamping structure, reference can be specifically made to Figure 2 , which shows multiple clamping protrusions on the figure, corresponding to the arrangement positions of the button transmission plate 14, the front transmission plate 15, the rear transmission plate 18, and the linkage button transmission plate 20. After the assembly is completed, these positioning and clamping structures can be clamped at the edges of the button transmission plate 14, the front transmission plate 15, the rear transmission plate 18, and the linkage button transmission plate 20 to fix them; in addition, the fixed plate 6 is also provided with a plurality of guiding structures for assisting the movement of components such as the rotating transmission plate 10, the button transmission plate 14, the front transmission plate 15, the rear transmission plate 18, and the linkage button transmission plate 20. After the connection structure 5 and the linkage switch assembly 8 are assembled, these guiding structures will be distributed on the periphery of each component. When the first switch button 01 and the second switch button 02 are pressed and the corresponding components move, the guiding structures can ensure their orderly movement.

[0073] Embodiment 2 Based on the armrest box cover structure with a two-way switch mechanism described in Embodiment 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an automotive armrest box. The interior of the armrest box body 11 has a first space for storing items, and the top is provided with an armrest box cover structure with a two-way switch mechanism.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing an armrest box cover structure with a two-way switch mechanism on the top of the automotive armrest box, the automotive armrest box has a multi-directional opening function. The cover 12 can be opened by pressing the key switches on different sides of the cover body 12. In this way, it can not only meet the needs of the passengers on both sides of the front row to press and open, but also meet the needs of the rear passengers to press and open, greatly improving the convenience of use of the automotive armrest box.
