Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of vehicle interior design, and more specifically, to a table assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the hidden tables used in the automotive industry are folded and stored in the armrest box. The small table needs to be folded three times before it can be opened, and the table area depends on the storage space of the armrest box, so it cannot be expanded in terms of size.

[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the technical problem of the small usable area of ​​the hidden table in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a table assembly and a vehicle, aiming to improve the technical problem of the small usable area of ​​the hidden table in the prior art.

[0005] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a tabletop assembly is provided, comprising: an armrest assembly having a first storage box and a first armrest, the first storage box having a first receiving cavity with a top opening, the first armrest being movably connected to the first storage box, the first armrest having a first blocking position that blocks the opening of the first receiving cavity, and a first clearance position that avoids the opening of the first receiving cavity; a tabletop, the tabletop being movably connected to the first storage box via a lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism being used to drive the tabletop to move in a vertical direction, so that the tabletop has a storage position located within the first receiving cavity, and a working position that is at least partially located outside the first receiving cavity; when the tabletop is in the working position, the first armrest is in the first clearance position, the first armrest is located on at least one side of the tabletop, and the working surface of the tabletop is flush with the supporting surface of the first armrest.

[0006] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: When the tabletop is not in use, it can be stored in the first storage box, without occupying any other space besides the first storage box; when the tabletop is in use, it can be moved vertically to the working position, while the first armrest moves to the first clearance position, so that the working surface of the tabletop and the supporting surface of the first armrest are joined to form a load-bearing surface, thereby enabling the tabletop assembly to provide a larger usable area. Compared with the traditional tabletop design that requires folding and hiding, the effective usable area provided by the tabletop assembly in this application is no longer completely limited by the size of the armrest box, and can be used in conjunction with the first armrest, realizing the expansion of the tabletop size and better meeting the needs of passengers.

[0007] Furthermore, there are two first handrails, which are respectively located on both sides of the first storage box along a first preset direction. The two first handrails can move away from each other along the first preset direction to avoid the opening of the first receiving cavity, and can also move closer to each other along the first preset direction to block the opening of the first receiving cavity. When the table is in the working position, the two first handrails are in the first avoidance position, and the table is located between the two first handrails.

[0008] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: when the table is in the working position, the two first handrails are located on the left and right sides or the front and back sides of the table, so that passengers located on the left and right sides or the front and back sides of the handrail assembly can use them at the same time.

[0009] Furthermore, the first handrail is connected to a portion of the lifting mechanism, and the first handrail switches between a first blocking position and a first avoidance position to drive the table to move vertically.

[0010] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: the first handrail is linked to the table via a lifting mechanism, and passengers can move the table along the vertical direction by moving the first handrail. The synchronous adjustment of the table and handrail can be completed with only one operation, which simplifies the operation process and improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two lifting mechanisms, each corresponding to one of the two first handrails. Each lifting mechanism includes: a swing assembly, which is located inside the first storage box and is at least partially hinged to the first storage box; the swing assembly includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, which are fixedly connected and hinged to the first handrail; and a third connecting rod, which is located inside the first storage box, with one end hinged to the second connecting rod and the other end hinged to the tabletop.

[0012] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: Two lifting mechanisms are connected one-to-one with two first handrails, which can evenly distribute the load on the tabletop. This not only enables stable lifting and lowering of the tabletop but also provides stable support, preventing mechanism failure due to excessive load at a single point. The first and second connecting rods are fixedly connected. The first connecting rod is hinged to the first handrail, and the second connecting rod is hinged to the tabletop via a third connecting rod. That is, the first and second connecting rods move synchronously, the first connecting rod is linked to the first handrail, and the second connecting rod is linked to the third connecting rod and the tabletop. When the first handrail is moved, the tabletop can respond quickly to achieve lifting and lowering.

[0013] Furthermore, the swing assembly also includes a gear, which is fixedly connected to at least one of the first link and the second link, and the two lifting mechanisms mesh with each other through the gear.

[0014] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: the two sets of swing components are meshed by gears, enabling the two lifting mechanisms to achieve better synchronous movement, ensuring that the table remains horizontal during lifting and lowering, and also reducing the vibration of the table during movement. In addition, the meshing of gears between the two sets of swing components means that passengers only need to operate one of the first handrails to achieve synchronous movement of both first handrails and lifting and lowering of the table, thereby increasing the convenience of operation.

[0015] Furthermore, the first storage box is provided with a first limiting pin, the gear has a first position that abuts against the first limiting pin, and a second position that is separated from the first limiting pin. When the gear is in the first position, the table is in the working position.

[0016] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: The gear rotates around the first pivot pin to drive the table to move vertically. When the table moves vertically upward to the working position, the first limiting pin abuts against the gear to restrict the gear's rotation and prevent the table from continuing to move upward. This allows for precise control of the table reaching the preset working position, avoiding inaccurate positioning due to excessive movement. Because the table and the first handrail are linked, the first limiting pin restricts the table's vertical upward movement while also limiting the handrail's lateral movement, thus limiting the handrail's position. The first limiting pin, used in conjunction with the gear, eliminates the need for passengers to manually adjust the table height to be flush with the first handrail, simplifying the operation.

[0017] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism also includes a fourth link, which is located inside the first storage box. One end of the fourth link is hinged to the first storage box, and the other end of the fourth link is hinged to the first handrail.

[0018] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: the fourth link provides another support point for the first handrail, thereby making the movement of the first handrail more stable. In addition, when the first handrail is in the first avoidance position, the fourth link, together with the first link, provides stable support for the first handrail, so that the first handrail can better resist bumps and improve the passenger's user experience.

[0019] Furthermore, the first storage box is provided with a second limiting pin, and the first link or the fourth link has a third position that abuts against the second limiting pin and a fourth position that is separated from the second limiting pin. When the first link or the fourth link is in the third position, the first handrail is in the first clearance position.

[0020] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: When the first handrail moves to its position on both sides, the second limiting pin abuts against the first or fourth connecting rod to restrict the first and fourth connecting rods from continuing to rotate outward, that is, to restrict the first handrail from continuing to move to both sides, thereby limiting the first handrail and preventing it from moving excessively and interfering with other components; since the tabletop and the first handrail are linked, the second limiting pin restricts the tabletop from moving to both sides while also restricting the tabletop from continuing to move upward, thus limiting the tabletop. The second limiting pin, in conjunction with the first or fourth connecting rod, achieves the adjustment of the tabletop and the first handrail in one step, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments and simplifying the operation process.

[0021] Furthermore, the first link or the fourth link is provided with a second limiting groove. When the first link or the fourth link is in the third position, the second limiting pin is located in the second limiting groove, and part of the groove wall of the second limiting groove is located above the second limiting pin and abuts against the second limiting pin.

[0022] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: when the second limiting pin is located in the second limiting groove, it not only achieves horizontal limiting of the first handrail, but also achieves vertical limiting of the first handrail through the groove wall of the second limiting groove and the upper and lower abutment of the second limiting pin, thereby locking the first handrail in the first clearance position. Since the first handrail and the table are linked, the table is also locked in the working position. When the support surface of the table assembly is subjected to downward pressure, the table and the first handrail can still be stably maintained in the original position.

[0023] Furthermore, the handrail assembly also includes: a second storage box connected to the first storage box, the second storage box having a second receiving cavity with a top opening; and a second handrail movably connected to the second storage box, the second handrail having a second blocking position that blocks the opening of the second receiving cavity, and a second yielding position that avoids the opening of the second receiving cavity.

[0024] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: the design of the second storage box increases the storage space of the table assembly, allowing passengers to store items in the second storage box while using the table function, thus improving the practicality of the table assembly.

[0025] Furthermore, the armrest assembly also includes: a second storage box connected to the first storage box, the second storage box having a second receiving cavity with an opening on one side; a second armrest disposed on the top of the second storage box; and a drawer having a storage slot, the drawer being slidably connected to the second storage box, the drawer having an open position in which at least part of the storage slot is located outside the second receiving cavity, and a closed position in which the storage slot is completely located inside the second receiving cavity.

[0026] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: the design of the second storage box and drawer increases the storage space of the table assembly, allowing passengers to store items in the second storage box while using the table function, thus improving the practicality of the table assembly.

[0027] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including a table assembly, the table assembly being the table assembly described above.

[0028] The embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects: when the table is not in use, the table can be stored in the first storage box without occupying any other space besides the first storage box. When the table is in use, the table can be spliced ​​with the first armrest to form a larger load-bearing surface, which not only optimizes the interior space of the vehicle, but also improves passenger comfort and convenience, thereby enhancing the vehicle's competitive advantage.

[0046] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a tabletop assembly is provided.

[0047] Specifically, the table assembly includes an armrest assembly and a table 30. The armrest assembly has a first storage box 10 and a first armrest 20. The first storage box 10 has a first receiving cavity 11 with a top opening. The first armrest 20 is movably connected to the first storage box 10. The first armrest 20 has a first blocking position that covers the opening of the first receiving cavity 11 and a first clearance position that avoids the opening of the first receiving cavity 11. The table 30 is movably connected to the first storage box 10 via a lifting mechanism 40. The lifting mechanism 40 is used to drive the table 30 to move vertically so that the table 30 has a storage position located within the first receiving cavity 11 and a working position located at least partially outside the first receiving cavity 11. When the table 30 is in the working position, the first armrest 20 is in the first clearance position. The first armrest 20 is located on at least one side of the table 30, and the working surface of the table 30 is flush with the supporting surface of the first armrest 20.

[0048] In the embodiments of this application, when the tabletop 30 is not in use, it can be stored in the first storage box 10, without occupying any other space besides the first storage box 10. When the tabletop 30 is in use, it can be moved vertically to the working position, while the first armrest 20 moves to the first clearance position, so that the working surface of the tabletop 30 and the supporting surface of the first armrest 20 are joined to form a bearing surface, thereby enabling the tabletop assembly to provide a larger usable area. Compared with the traditional tabletop 30 design that needs to be folded and hidden, the effective usable area provided by the tabletop assembly in this application is no longer completely limited by the size of the armrest box, and can be used in conjunction with the first armrest 20, realizing the expansion of the size of the tabletop 30, which better meets the needs of passengers.

[0049] Understandably, compared with traditional tabletop designs that require folding and hiding, the tabletop assembly of this application uses a lifting mechanism 40 to drive the tabletop 30 to move in the vertical direction, which reduces the complexity of the driving mechanism and thus reduces design and manufacturing costs.

[0050] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, there is one first armrest 20, which can move back and forth or left and right to block or not block the opening of the first receiving cavity 11 of the first storage box 10. When the tabletop 30 is in the working position, the first armrest 20 is located on one side of the tabletop 30 to form a load-bearing surface.

[0051] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, there are two first armrests 20, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the first storage box 10 along a first preset direction. The two first armrests 20 can be spaced apart from each other along the first preset direction to avoid the opening of the first receiving cavity 11, and can also be moved closer to each other along the first preset direction to block the opening of the first receiving cavity 11. When the table 30 is in the working position, the two first armrests 20 are in the first avoidance position, and the table 30 is located between the two first armrests 20.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, when the table 30 is in the working position, the two first armrests 20 are located on the left and right sides or the front and back sides of the table 30, so that passengers located on the left and right sides or the front and back sides of the armrest assembly can use them at the same time.

[0053] Furthermore, the first armrest 20 is connected to part of the lifting mechanism 40, and the first armrest 20 switches between a first blocking position and a first avoidance position to drive the table 30 to move in the vertical direction.

[0054] In the embodiments of this application, the first handrail 20 is linked to the table 30 through the lifting mechanism 40. By moving the first handrail 20, the passenger can move the table 30 in the vertical direction. The synchronous adjustment of the table 30 and the handrail can be completed with only one operation, which simplifies the operation process and improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0055] Specifically, there are two lifting mechanisms 40, each connected to one of the two first handrails 20. Each lifting mechanism 40 includes a swing assembly and a third link 43. The swing assembly is located inside the first storage box 10, and at least part of the swing assembly is hinged to the first storage box 10. The swing assembly includes a first link 41 and a second link 42, which are fixedly connected. The first link 41 is also hinged to the first handrail 20. The third link 43 is located inside the first storage box 10, with one end hinged to the second link 42 and the other end hinged to the tabletop 30.

[0056] In the embodiments of this application, two lifting mechanisms 40 are connected one-to-one with two first armrests 20, which can evenly distribute the load on the tabletop 30. This not only enables stable lifting and lowering of the tabletop 30, but also provides stable support for the tabletop 30, preventing mechanism failure due to excessive load on a single point. The first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 are fixedly connected. The first connecting rod 41 is hinged to the first armrest 20, and the second connecting rod 42 is hinged to the tabletop 30 through the third connecting rod 43. That is, the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 move synchronously. The first connecting rod 41 is linked with the first armrest 20, and the second connecting rod 42 is linked with the third connecting rod 43 and the tabletop 30. When the first armrest 20 is moved, the tabletop 30 can respond quickly to achieve lifting and lowering.

[0057] like Figure 1As shown, two lifting mechanisms 40 are correspondingly located below the two first handrails 20, and each lifting mechanism 40 includes a first link 41, a second link 42 and a third link 43. The first link 41 and the second link 42 are fixedly connected, and the first link 41 and the second link 42 are set at an acute angle. The first end of the first link 41 and the first end of the second link 42 are both sleeved on the first axle pin 12 on the inner wall of the first storage box 10. The first end of the first link 41 is hinged to the first axle pin 12, and the second end of the first link 41 is hinged to the fourth axle pin on the side wall of the first armrest 20. The first end of the second link 42 is hinged to the first axle pin 12, and the second end of the second link 42 is hinged to the first end of the third link 43. The second end of the third link 43 is hinged to the third axle pin 31 on the side wall of the table 30. The table 30 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first storage box 10. For example, a vertically set guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the first storage box 10, and part of the table 30 extends into the guide groove. The guide groove is used to restrict the table 30 from moving in the vertical direction.

[0058] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, when a passenger operates the two first armrests 20 to move them to the sides of the first storage compartment 10, the two lifting mechanisms 40 move synchronously, thereby driving the table 30 to move vertically upward until the working surface of the table 30 is flush with the supporting surface of the first armrests 20, thus unfolding the table assembly. When a passenger operates the two first armrests 20 to move them to the center of the first storage compartment 10, the two lifting mechanisms 40 move synchronously, thereby driving the table 30 to move vertically downward until the table 30 is completely retracted into the first storage compartment 10, and the two first armrests 20 completely cover the opening of the first storage compartment 10, thus retracting the table assembly.

[0059] In other embodiments, the first armrest 20 can be moved left and right or back and forth, and the tabletop 30 can be moved vertically, by driving the swing assembly to rotate. For example, the swing assembly can be driven by a motor to rotate around the first pivot pin 12.

[0060] Furthermore, the swing assembly also includes a gear 44, which is fixedly connected to at least one of the first link 41 and the second link 42, and the two lifting mechanisms 40 are engaged by the gear 44.

[0061] In the embodiments of this application, the two sets of swing components are engaged by gears 44, enabling the two lifting mechanisms 40 to achieve better synchronous movement, ensuring that the table 30 remains horizontal during lifting and lowering, and also reducing the vibration of the table 30 during movement. Furthermore, with the two sets of swing components engaged by gears 44, passengers only need to operate one of the first handrails 20 to achieve synchronous movement of both first handrails 20 and lifting and lowering of the table 30, thereby increasing operational convenience.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, for the lightweight design of the lifting mechanism 40, the gear 44 adopts a sector-shaped structure. The first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 are fixedly connected to the center of the gear 44 respectively. The gear 44 is sleeved on the first shaft pin 12 and hinged to the first shaft pin 12. The two gears 44 in the two sets of swing components mesh.

[0063] Furthermore, the first storage box 10 is provided with a first limiting pin 14. The gear 44 has a first position that abuts against the first limiting pin 14 and a second position that is separated from the first limiting pin 14. When the gear 44 is in the first position, the table 30 is in the working position. The first limiting pin 14 is used to restrict the gear 44 from rotating to a predetermined position. When the gear 44 rotates to the predetermined position, the table 30 is simultaneously in the working position.

[0064] In the embodiments of this application, gear 44 rotates around the first pivot pin 12 to drive the table 30 to move vertically. When the table 30 moves vertically upward to the working position, the first limiting pin 14 abuts against gear 44 to limit gear 44 from rotating and driving the table 30 to continue moving upward. This allows for precise control of the table 30 to reach the preset working position, avoiding inaccurate positioning due to excessive movement. Since the table 30 and the first armrest 20 are linked, the first limiting pin 14 restricts the table 30 from moving vertically upward while also restricting the first armrest 20 from moving to both sides, thus limiting the first armrest 20. The first limiting pin 14 works in conjunction with gear 44, eliminating the need for passengers to manually adjust the height of the table 30 to be flush with the height of the first armrest 20, simplifying the operation process.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the first storage box 10 is fixedly provided with two first limiting pins 14, and the two first limiting pins 14 are correspondingly arranged with two gears 44. The gears 44 have a sector-shaped structure, and a hollow part is provided in the middle of the gears 44. The first limiting pins 14 are located in the hollow part. The inner side wall of the hollow part of the gears 44 is provided with a first limiting groove 441. The first limiting groove 441 has an arc-shaped structure and is used to cooperate with the first limiting pins 14. Specifically, located in Figure 1 The gear 44 on the left rotates counterclockwise, and is located... Figure 1The gear 44 on the right rotates clockwise to drive the tabletop 30 to move vertically upward; when the tabletop 30 moves to the working position, it is located in... Figure 1 The gear 44 on the left side abuts against the first limiting pin 14 via the first limiting groove 441 to restrict the gear 44 from continuing to rotate counterclockwise. Figure 1 The gear 44 on the right side abuts against the first limiting pin 14 through the first limiting groove 441 to limit the gear 44 from continuing to rotate clockwise, thereby achieving vertical limiting of the table 30.

[0066] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 40 also includes a fourth link 45, which is located inside the first storage box 10. One end of the fourth link 45 is hinged to the first storage box 10, and the other end of the fourth link 45 is hinged to the first handrail 20.

[0067] In the embodiments of this application, the fourth link 45 provides another support point for the first handrail 20, thereby making the movement of the first handrail 20 more stable. In addition, when the first handrail 20 is in the first avoidance position, the fourth link 45, together with the first link 41, provides stable support for the first handrail 20, so that the first handrail 20 can better resist bumps and improve the passenger's user experience.

[0068] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first end of the fourth link 45 is hinged to the second pin 13 on the inner wall of the first storage box 10, and the second end of the fourth link 45 is hinged to the fifth pin on the side wall of the first armrest 20. During the movement of the first armrest 20 to both sides, the first armrest 20 first moves upward a certain distance in the vertical direction, and then moves downward a certain distance until it is flush with the tabletop 30.

[0069] Furthermore, the first storage box 10 is provided with a second limiting pin 15, and the first link 41 or the fourth link 45 has a third position that abuts against the second limiting pin 15 and a fourth position that is separated from the second limiting pin 15. When the first link 41 or the fourth link 45 is in the third position, the first handrail 20 is in the first avoidance position, and the second limiting pin 15 is used to restrict the first handrail 20 from continuing to move in the direction of avoiding the opening of the first receiving cavity 11.

[0070] In the embodiments of this application, when the first armrest 20 moves to its lateral positions, the second limiting pin 15 abuts against the first connecting rod 41 or the fourth connecting rod 45 to restrict the first connecting rod 41 and the fourth connecting rod 45 from continuing to rotate outward, that is, to restrict the first armrest 20 from continuing to move to the lateral positions, thereby limiting the first armrest 20 and preventing it from moving excessively and interfering with other components. Since the tabletop 30 is linked to the first armrest 20, the second limiting pin 15 restricts the first armrest 20 from moving to the lateral positions while also restricting the tabletop 30 from continuing to move upward, thus limiting the tabletop 30. The second limiting pin 15, in conjunction with the first connecting rod 41 or the fourth connecting rod 45, achieves the adjustment of the tabletop 30 and the first armrest 20 in one step, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments and simplifying the operation process.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the inner wall of the first storage box 10 is fixedly provided with two second limiting pins 15, and the two second limiting pins 15 are correspondingly set with two fourth connecting rods 45. A second limiting groove 451 is provided on the side of the fourth connecting rod 45 near the second limiting pin 15. The second limiting groove 451 has an arc-shaped structure, and the fourth connecting rod 45 cooperates with the second limiting pin 15 through the second limiting groove 451. Specifically, when the two first handrails 20 are moved to the sides respectively, the... Figure 1 The fourth link on the left, 45, swings to the left, and is located in... Figure 1 The fourth link 45 on the right side swings to the right, and when the first handrail 20 moves to the first avoidance position, it is located... Figure 1 The fourth link 45 on the left side abuts against the second limit pin 15 through the second limit groove 451 to restrict the corresponding first handrail 20 from moving further to the left. Figure 1 The fourth link 45 on the right side abuts against the second limit pin 15 through the second limit groove 451 to restrict the corresponding first handrail 20 from continuing to move to the right, thereby limiting the first handrail 20.

[0072] Furthermore, a second limiting groove 451 is provided on the first link 41 or the fourth link 45. When the first link 41 or the fourth link 45 is in the third position, the second limiting pin 15 is located in the second limiting groove 451, and part of the groove wall of the second limiting groove 451 is located above the second limiting pin 15 and abuts against the second limiting pin 15.

[0073] In the embodiments of this application, when the second limiting pin 15 is located in the second limiting groove 451, it not only achieves horizontal limiting of the first armrest 20, but also achieves vertical limiting of the first armrest 20 through the groove wall of the second limiting groove 451 and the second limiting pin 15, thereby locking the first armrest 20 in the first clearance position. Since the first armrest 20 is linked with the table 30, the table 30 is also locked in the working position. When the support surface of the table assembly is subjected to downward pressure, the table 30 and the first armrest 20 can still be stably maintained in their original positions.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, when the first armrest 20 moves to the first clearance position, the fourth link 45 abuts against the second limit pin 15 through the second limit groove 451, thereby restricting the first armrest 20 from moving further to both sides, i.e., horizontally limiting the first armrest 20. At the same time, part of the groove wall of the second limit groove 451 is located above the second limit pin 15 and abuts against the second limit pin 15, thereby vertically limiting the first armrest 20. When it is necessary to store the tabletop 30, the first armrest 20 must first be moved upward to unlock the fourth link 45, and then the first armrest 20 is pushed towards the center of the first storage box 10 to store the tabletop 30.

[0075] Furthermore, the handrail assembly also includes a second storage box and a second handrail. The second storage box is connected to the first storage box 10 and has a second receiving cavity with a top opening. The second handrail is movably connected to the second storage box and has a second blocking position that blocks the opening of the second receiving cavity and a second avoiding position that avoids the opening of the second receiving cavity.

[0076] In the embodiments of this application, the design of the second storage box increases the storage space of the table assembly. While using the functions of the table 30, passengers can also use the second storage box to store items, thereby improving the practicality of the table assembly.

[0077] Specifically, the first storage box 10 is fixedly connected to the second storage box, and the first storage box 10 can be located in front of or behind the second storage box. The second handrail can be opened by flipping it open, allowing passengers on both sides of the second storage box to use it.

[0078] Furthermore, the armrest assembly also includes a second storage box, a second armrest, and a drawer. The second storage box is connected to the first storage box 10 and has a second receiving cavity with an opening on one side. The second armrest is located on the top of the second storage box. The drawer has a storage slot and is slidably connected to the second storage box. The drawer has an open position where at least part of the storage slot is outside the second receiving cavity, and a closed position where the storage slot is completely inside the second receiving cavity.

[0079] In the embodiments of this application, the design of the second storage box and drawer increases the storage space of the table assembly. While using the functions of the table 30, passengers can also use the second storage box to store items, thereby improving the practicality of the table assembly.

[0080] Specifically, the first storage box 10 is fixedly connected to the second storage box, and the first storage box 10 can be located in front of the second storage box. Passengers located behind the second storage box can open the drawer by pulling it out to retrieve or put in their items.

[0081] According to another specific embodiment of this application, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including a table assembly, the table assembly being the same as the table assembly in the above embodiment.

[0082] In the embodiments of this application, when the table 30 is not in use, the table 30 can be stored in the first storage box 10 without occupying any other space besides the first storage box 10. When the table 30 is in use, the table 30 can be spliced ​​with the first armrest 20 to form a larger load-bearing surface, which not only optimizes the interior space of the vehicle, but also improves passenger comfort and convenience, thereby enhancing the competitive advantage of the vehicle.
