Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle component technology, and in particular to a vehicle handrail and a vehicle having the same. Background Technology

[0002] Armrests are a standard feature in car interiors, commonly found on the dashboard and seats. They typically include functional support blocks for users to place items or support their elbows. In existing technology, these support blocks are usually hinged to the armrest's support structure, such as in storage compartments. This means they only offer support or item placement on one side, limiting versatility and resulting in a less than ideal user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a vehicle-mounted handrail and a vehicle having the same. The handrail allows for the use of both surfaces of the functional support block as needed, providing diverse usage scenarios and improving the user experience.

[0004] This invention provides a vehicle armrest, including a base, a functional surface support block, a button assembly, and a pivot. A storage compartment is formed on the base. The pivot passes through the central region of the functional surface support block, which is rotatably mounted on the storage compartment via the pivot. The functional surface support block has multiple functional surfaces, each with a different functional module. The button assembly includes a slider with a first limiting mechanism on it. A second limiting mechanism corresponding to the first limiting mechanism is provided on the pivot. The slider reciprocates relative to the pivot, switching between engagement and disengagement of the first and second limiting mechanisms. When the first and second limiting mechanisms are engaged, rotation of the functional surface support block relative to the base is prevented. The functional surface support block includes a first plate and a second plate, which are fitted together. Two functional surfaces are respectively disposed on the first plate surface and the second plate surface. When the first limiting mechanism is separated from the second limiting mechanism, the functional surface support block rotates 180° relative to the base via the rotating shaft, so that either the first plate surface or the second plate surface can be selectively disposed facing upwards. A rotating shaft connecting frame is also disposed between the first plate surface and the second plate surface, and a rotating shaft fixing frame is disposed on the base. A rotating shaft through hole is formed on the side wall of the storage box. The rotating shaft passes through the rotating shaft fixing frame and the rotating shaft through hole and is connected to the rotating shaft connecting frame. The rotating shaft fixing frame includes a base and a pressure plate. A space for the rotating shaft to pass through is formed between the pressure plate and the base. On the pressure plate, two limiting plates are disposed at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating shaft. A limiting groove is formed between the two limiting plates. A limiting ring is formed on the rotating shaft. The limiting ring extends into the limiting groove. The limiting groove limits the axial direction of the rotating shaft to prevent the rotating shaft from coming out.

[0005] Furthermore, one of the first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism is a protrusion, and the other of the first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism is a recess.

[0006] Furthermore, the functional surface support block is plate-shaped, and the functional surface is formed on two plates of the functional surface support block. The functional surface support block is rotatably mounted on the storage box via the rotating shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, when the second limiting mechanism is a protrusion or a recess, there are at least two protrusions or recesses on the second limiting mechanism, and the positions of the two protrusions or recesses correspond to the two plate surfaces of the functional surface support block.

[0008] Furthermore, there are four recesses or protrusions on the rotating shaft. Two of the four recesses or protrusions correspond to the two plates of the functional surface support block, and the remaining two correspond to the two sides of the functional surface support block, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the protrusion gradually increases from the top to the bottom; and the width of the recess gradually increases from the bottom to the top.

[0010] Furthermore, the button assembly also includes a reset spring, a button mounting base, a control button, and a button decorative plate. The button mounting base and the button decorative plate are fixed in an accommodating space. The control button is disposed on the upper surface of the slider and slidably disposed in the button decorative plate. The slider is slidably disposed in the accommodating space. The reset spring is disposed between the slider and the button mounting base.

[0011] The present invention also provides a vehicle including the above-described vehicle armrest.

[0012] In summary, in this invention, by rotatably mounting the functional surface support block onto the storage compartment, the vehicle design allows the functional surface support block 2 to have multiple functional surfaces, on which different functional modules (not shown in the figure) can be arranged, such as a table, projector, or monitor. Users can rotate the functional surface support block as needed, so that one of its functional surfaces faces upwards. That is, when the storage compartment is closed, while covering the storage compartment, the functional surface support block can also selectively provide multiple usage scenarios through its rotation, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the slider, first limiting mechanism, and second limiting mechanism, among other related structures, facilitate the user's flipping of the functional surface support block.

[0013] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Detailed Implementation To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention in order to achieve the intended purpose, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0032] This invention provides a vehicle-mounted handrail and a vehicle having the same. The handrail can utilize the two surfaces of the functional support block as needed, providing diverse usage scenarios and improving the user experience.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the vehicle armrest provided in the first embodiment of the present invention includes a base 10, a functional surface support block 20, a button assembly 30, and a rotating shaft 40. A storage compartment 11 is formed on the base 10, and the functional surface support block 20 is rotatably mounted on the storage compartment 11 via the rotating shaft 40. The button assembly 30 includes a slider 31 and a return spring 32. The slider 31 can slide along an axis perpendicular to the rotating shaft 40, and the return spring 32 is connected to the slider 31 and assists the slider 31 in resetting. A first limiting mechanism 311 is provided on the slider 31, and a second limiting mechanism 41 corresponding to the first limiting mechanism 311 is provided on the rotating shaft 40. The slider 31 slides back and forth relative to the rotating shaft 40 to switch between engagement and disengagement between the first limiting mechanism 311 and the second limiting mechanism 41. Multiple functional surfaces are formed on the functional surface support block 20, and each functional surface is provided with a functional module (not shown in the figure). When the first limiting mechanism 311 and the second limiting mechanism 41 are engaged, the functional surface support block 20 is prevented from rotating relative to the base 10. When the first limiting mechanism 311 and the second limiting mechanism 41 are separated, the functional surface support block 20 rotates relative to the base 10 through the rotating shaft 40, and a certain functional surface on the functional surface support block 20 can be selectively set to face upward.

[0034] In this embodiment, by rotatably mounting the functional surface support block 20 onto the storage compartment 11, the vehicle design allows the functional surface support block 20 to have multiple functional surfaces, on which different functional modules (not shown), such as a table, projector, or monitor, can be mounted. Users can rotate the functional surface support block 20 as needed, so that one of its functional surfaces faces upwards to use that functional module. That is, even when the storage compartment 11 is closed, while covering the storage compartment 11, the functional surface support block 20 can selectively provide multiple usage scenarios through its rotation, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the slider 31, the first limiting mechanism 311, and the second limiting mechanism 41, among other related structures, facilitate the user's ability to flip the functional surface support block 20.

[0035] Understandably, in this embodiment, when the functional module is positioned on the functional surface, the size of the functional module can be controlled to avoid affecting the rotation of the functional surface support block 20. In other embodiments, a groove can also be directly provided on the functional surface support block 20 to accommodate facilities or electronic devices on the functional surface.

[0036] In this embodiment, the functional surface support block 20 is plate-shaped, and it can be understood that it can have two functional surfaces. When the functional surface support block 20 is rotated 180°, the functional surfaces can be switched.

[0037] Further, please continue to refer to Figures 2 to 5 The end of the rotating shaft 40 away from the functional surface support block 20 has a free end. The second limiting mechanism 41 is disposed on the free end of the rotating shaft 40, while the first limiting mechanism 311 is disposed on the side of the slider 31 facing the rotating shaft 40. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the rotation of the functional surface support block 20, rotating shafts 40 are provided at both ends of the functional surface support block 20, while the first limiting mechanism 311 is only disposed on the end face of one rotating shaft 40.

[0038] More specifically, in this embodiment, one of the first limiting mechanism 311 and the second limiting mechanism 41 is a protrusion, and the other of the first limiting mechanism 311 and the second limiting mechanism 41 is a recess. When the second limiting mechanism 41 is a protrusion or a recess, there are at least two protrusions or recesses on the second limiting mechanism 41, and the positions of the two protrusions or recesses correspond to the two plate surfaces of the functional surface support block 20.

[0039] by Figures 3 to 5For example, the first limiting mechanism 311 is a protrusion, while the second limiting mechanism 41 is a recess. When the second limiting mechanism 41 on the rotating shaft 40 is a recess, there are at least two recesses. The two recesses correspond to the positions of the two plates of the functional surface support block 20, respectively. When the protrusion is combined with a recess, the position of the functional surface support block 20 is fixed, so that one plate of the functional surface support block 20 remains in an upward position; when the protrusion is combined with another recess, the other plate of the functional surface support block 20 remains in an upward position.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width of the protrusion gradually increases from the top to the bottom (the end of the protrusion facing the recess is the top of the protrusion). Correspondingly, the width of the recess gradually increases from the bottom to the top (the end of the recess facing the protrusion is the top of the recess). Through the above arrangement, when the slider 31 moves, the first limiting mechanism 311 and the second limiting mechanism 41 can better engage, and the position of the functional surface support block 20 can be corrected. This ensures that when the functional surface support block 20 is in a slightly tilted position, after the first limiting mechanism 311 and the second limiting mechanism 41 engage, the upward-facing surface of the functional surface support block 20 can automatically return to the correct position.

[0041] More specifically, in this embodiment, the recess or protrusion provided on the rotating shaft 40 ( Figure 4 The diagram shows four recesses on the rotating shaft 40. Two of these recesses or protrusions correspond to the two surfaces of the functional surface support block 20, while the remaining two correspond to the two sides of the functional surface support block 20. When the protrusions or recesses corresponding to the two surfaces of the functional surface support block 20 are engaged with the first limiting mechanism 311, the functional surface support block 20 can cover the storage box 11 (e.g., ...). Figure 13 As shown), and one of the plate surfaces is kept facing upwards. When the protrusions or recesses corresponding to the two sides of the functional surface support block 20 are engaged with the first limiting mechanism 311, the functional surface support block 20 can be vertically positioned relative to the storage box 11 (as shown). Figure 14 As shown in the figure, at this time, the storage box 11 is in an open state, which makes it easy to take out and put in the objects inside the storage box 11.

[0042] That is, in this embodiment, the functional surface support block 20 is directly mounted on the base 10 via the pivot 40. The storage box 11 is opened by adjusting the functional surface support block 20 to a vertical position, and the storage box 11 is closed by setting one of the functional surfaces of the functional surface support block 20 to face upwards.

[0043] Please continue to refer to Figure 3The button assembly 30 also includes a button mounting base 33, a control button 34, and a button decorative plate 35. A receiving space 37 for accommodating the button assembly 30 is formed on the base 10, and the button mounting base 33 and the button decorative plate 35 are directly fixed within the receiving space 37 of the base 10. The control button 34 is disposed on the upper surface of the slider 31 and slidably disposed within the button decorative plate 35. The slider 31 is slidably disposed within the button mounting base 33, and a return spring 32 is disposed between the slider 31 and the button mounting base 33. By controlling the button 34, the slider 31 can be driven to move downward relative to the button mounting base 33, causing the first limiting mechanism 311 and the second limiting mechanism 41 to disengage.

[0044] The upper surface of the slider 31 is also provided with a positioning rib 36 for combining with the control button 34.

[0045] Furthermore, a first slide rail 312 is provided on the slider 31, and a second slide rail 331 is provided on the button fixing seat 33. The first slide rail 312 and the second slide rail 331 are combined to facilitate the movement of the slider 31 on the button fixing seat 33.

[0046] like Figures 6 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the functional surface support block 20 includes a first plate surface 21, a second plate surface 22, and end surfaces 23. The first plate surface 21 and the second plate surface 22 are fitted together, and the two end surfaces 23 are respectively disposed at both ends of the functional surface support block 20. That is, the two functional surfaces of the functional surface support block 20 are respectively disposed on the first plate surface 21 and the second plate surface 22.

[0047] More specifically, the first plate surface 21 and the second plate surface 22 are welded together by the first welding rib 211 and the second welding rib 221. An end face mounting bracket 24 is provided between the first plate surface 21 and the second plate surface 22, and a fixing buckle 231 is provided on the end face 23. The fixing buckle 231 extends into the mounting hole on the end face mounting bracket 24 to fix the end face 23.

[0048] like Figures 8 to 12 As shown, a pivot connecting frame 25 is also provided between the first plate surface 21 and the second plate surface 22. A pivot fixing hole 251 is formed on the pivot connecting frame 25, and a first through hole 232 is provided on the end face 23 at a position corresponding to the pivot fixing hole 251. A pivot fixing frame 12 is also provided on the base 10, and a pivot through hole 44 is formed on the side wall of the storage box 11. The pivot 40 passes through the pivot fixing frame 12, the pivot through hole 44, and the first through hole 232 and is fixed in the pivot fixing hole 251. This allows the functional surface support block 20 to drive the pivot 40 to rotate relative to the pivot fixing frame 12.

[0049] In order to ensure the relative fixation of the rotating shaft 40 and the functional surface support block 20, in this embodiment, the end of the rotating shaft 40 that extends into the rotating shaft fixing hole 251 is formed with a non-circular rotating shaft fixing end 42. The shape of the rotating shaft fixing hole 251 corresponds to the shape of the rotating shaft 40 to prevent the rotating shaft 40 from rotating relative to the rotating shaft fixing hole 251.

[0050] Furthermore, the rotating shaft fixing bracket 12 includes a base 121 and a pressure plate 122. The base 121 is fixed to the base 10, and the pressure plate 122 is fixed to the base 121. When the pressure plate 122 is engaged with the base 121, a space is formed between the pressure plate 122 and the base 121 for the rotating shaft 40 to pass through. On the pressure plate 122, two spaced-apart limiting plates are formed along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 40, and a limiting groove 123 is formed between the two limiting plates. A limiting ring 43 is formed on the rotating shaft 40. When the rotating shaft 40 extends into the rotating shaft fixing hole 251, the pressure plate 122 engages with the base 121, allowing the limiting ring 43 to extend into the limiting groove 123. The limiting groove 123 can limit the axial direction of the rotating shaft 40 to prevent the rotating shaft 40 from coming out.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, at the end of the storage box 11 away from the button assembly 30, there is also a decorative panel assembly 50 to decorate the entire vehicle armrest.

[0052] like Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the vehicle armrest provided in the second embodiment of the present invention is basically the same as that in the first embodiment, except that in this embodiment, the functional surface support block 20 can be in the shape of a triangular prism, that is, as shown in the figure. Figure 15 As shown, its cross-section perpendicular to the pivot 40 can be triangular. In this case, the functional surface support block 20 can have three functional surfaces. The vehicle armrest also includes a cover plate 60, one end of which is hinged to the storage compartment 11. The functional surface support block 20 is rotatably mounted on the cover plate 60 via the pivot 40. Rotation between the cover plate 60 and the storage compartment 11 allows the storage compartment 11 to be opened or closed. Rotation of the functional surface support block 20 around the pivot 40 allows a specific functional surface to be selectively oriented upwards.

[0053] In this embodiment, the receiving space 37 of the receiving button assembly 30 is formed on the cover plate 60. That is, the receiving space 37 and the rotating shaft 40 are corresponding to each other, and the rotating shaft 40 will not move relative to the receiving space 37 except for its own rotation.

[0054] A pivot fixing plate 61 is formed on the cover plate 60, and a pivot through hole 44 is formed on the pivot fixing plate 61. After the pivot 40 passes through the pivot through hole 44, it is connected to the button assembly in the accommodating space 37.

[0055] Further, please continue to refer to Figure 17Because of the cover plate 60, the functional surface support block 20 itself no longer serves the function of opening and closing the storage box 11. In this embodiment, there are three protrusions or recesses on the second limiting mechanism 41, and their positions correspond to the positions of the functional surfaces on the functional surface support block 20. That is, when the functional surface support block 20 rotates, every 120° rotation makes another functional surface face upward.

[0056] Understandably, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the connection method between the rotating shaft 40 and the button assembly 30 can refer to the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] In summary, in this invention, by rotatably mounting the functional surface support block 20 onto the storage compartment 11, the vehicle design allows the functional surface support block 20 to have multiple functional surfaces, on which different functional modules (not shown in the figure) can be arranged, such as a table, projector, or monitor. Users can rotate the functional surface support block 20 as needed, so that one of its functional surfaces faces upwards to use that functional module. That is, even when the storage compartment 11 is not open, while covering the storage compartment 11, the functional surface support block 20 can selectively provide multiple usage scenarios through its rotation, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the slider 31, the first limiting mechanism 311, and the second limiting mechanism 41, among other related structures, facilitate the user's flipping of the functional surface support block 20.

[0058] The present invention also provides a vehicle including the above-mentioned vehicle handrail. For other technical features of the vehicle, please refer to the prior art, which will not be repeated here.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
