Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of automobile accessories, and in particular relates to an elbow pillow assembly and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] The armrest box is an automotive accessory installed in the middle area between the two front seats and connected to the auxiliary instrument panel. It is part of the car's interior system and is used for the driver and passengers to place their arms. It can also provide a certain amount of storage space. Among them, the elbow rest is part of the armrest box, and usually an openable cover is provided at the upper opening of the armrest box and is used to contact the arm.

[0003] In order to improve the comfort of placing the arms, more and more armrest boxes are equipped with cooling and heating functions, which are mainly achieved through the air duct of the auxiliary instrument panel assembly; specifically, since the elbow pillow does not have ventilation performance, the cold or hot air discharged by the air duct can only be discharged into the armrest box first and then transmitted to the elbow pillow, and then from the elbow pillow to the arm placed thereon.

[0004] The inventors have found that existing elbow pillows are usually made of materials with certain thermal insulation properties such as leather and soft foam materials, which results in the space temperature in the armrest box being unable to be fed back to the outer surface of the elbow pillow in time, causing the arm placed on the elbow pillow to be unable to feel the changes in temperature in time, affecting the comfort of the driver and passengers when placing their arms on the elbow pillow.

[0047] Please also read Figures 1 to 7 The elbow pillow assembly provided in the present application is now described. The elbow pillow assembly provided in the present application comprises an elbow pillow body 1 and an air inlet pipe 2.

[0048] The elbow pillow body 1 is hingedly arranged on the upper side of the armrest box 100, and its hinge axis is usually parallel to the horizontal direction to prevent the elbow pillow body 1 from contacting the people and seats on both sides.

[0049] In this embodiment, the elbow pillow body 1 adopts an internal hollow structure, and a plurality of air outlet holes 121 communicating with the interior of the elbow pillow body 1 are formed on the top surface thereof, and the plurality of air outlet holes 121 are evenly distributed in multiple rows and columns.

[0050] It should be noted that the top surface of the elbow pillow body 1 refers to the side facing upward when the elbow pillow body 1 is covered on the upper side of the armrest box 100; correspondingly, the ground surface of the elbow pillow body 1 refers to the side facing downward (i.e., toward the internal space of the armrest box 100) when the elbow pillow body 1 is covered on the upper side of the armrest box 100.

[0051] The air inlet duct 2 is arranged on the rear side of the armrest box 100, and adopts a structure with a hollow interior and openings at both ends; and one end of the air inlet duct 2 is suitable for communicating with the interior of the elbow rest body 1, and the other end extends to the lower side of the armrest box 100 and communicates with the air duct of the auxiliary instrument panel assembly.

[0052] When the bottom surface of the elbow pillow body 1 covers the opening of the armrest box 100 , the air inlet duct 2 is communicated with the interior of the elbow pillow body 1 .

[0053] It should be noted that when the bottom surface of the elbow pillow body 1 avoids the opening of the armrest box 100 (that is, the elbow pillow body 1 is opened), the air inlet duct 2 can be in a connection relationship separated from the interior of the elbow pillow body 1, or in a connection relationship that remains connected to the interior of the elbow pillow body 1.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the technical purpose of discharging part of the cold air or hot air circulating in the air-conditioning system through the air outlet 121 is achieved by configuring the elbow pillow body 1 as an internally hollow structure, opening an air outlet hole 121 on the top surface of the elbow pillow body 1, and connecting the air inlet duct 2 to the air duct of the auxiliary instrument panel assembly and the internal space of the elbow pillow body 1.

[0055] Compared with the prior art, the elbow pillow assembly provided in this embodiment can realize ventilation of the elbow pillow and achieve rapid transmission of cold air and hot air, ensuring that the temperature change can be quickly sensed when the arm is placed on the top surface of the elbow pillow body 1, thereby ensuring the comfort of the driver or passenger.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the bottom surface of the elbow pillow body 1 covers the opening of the armrest box 100, the rear end of the elbow pillow body 1 extends to the rear side of the armrest box 100, that is, the rear end of the elbow pillow body 1 protrudes backwards from the upper area of ​​the armrest box 100.

[0057] A vent 111 communicating with the interior of the elbow pillow body 1 is provided on the bottom surface of the extended portion of the elbow pillow body 1; based on this feature, the aforementioned air inlet pipe 2 is located at the lower side of the extended portion of the elbow pillow body 1, and the mouth of the air inlet pipe 2 is arranged upward to be suitable for communicating with the vent 111 so that the gas discharged from the air inlet pipe 2 can enter the interior of the elbow pillow body 1 through the vent 111.

[0058] By adopting the above technical solution, when the bottom surface of the elbow pillow body 1 covers the opening of the armrest box 100, the air inlet duct 2 is connected to the inside of the elbow pillow body 1; when the elbow pillow body 1 is opened to its bottom surface to avoid the opening of the armrest box 100, the air inlet duct 2 is not connected to the inside of the elbow pillow body 1.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the bottom surface of the elbow pillow body 1 is connected to a sealing ring 112 arranged around the vent 111; specifically, when the air inlet pipe 2 is connected to the vent 111, the pipe mouth of the air inlet pipe 2 is embedded in the sealing ring 112, thereby ensuring that the gas discharged from the air inlet pipe 2 can completely enter the vent 111; when the air inlet pipe 2 is separated from the vent 111, the sealing ring 112 and the air inlet pipe 2 are separated.

[0060] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing ring 112 can seal the space between the elbow pillow body 1 and the air inlet duct 2, ensuring sufficient transmission of cold air and hot air and avoiding energy loss; at the same time, the sealing ring 112 can also improve the structural stability of the elbow pillow body 1 when covering the opening of the armrest box 100, avoiding loosening of the surface of the elbow pillow body 1.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the extended end of the elbow rest body 1 is hinged to the armrest box 100 along the left-right direction of the vehicle body to avoid the interior components on both sides of the vehicle, and at the same time, it is more convenient for the driver and passengers to operate.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the elbow pillow body 1 also includes a bracket 3.

[0063] The bracket 3 is detachably connected to the rear side of the armrest box 100 through a threaded structure, and has an upwardly extending support arm 31; wherein the rear end of the support arm 31 is located in front of the rear end of the elbow pillow body 1 to ensure the aesthetics of the overall structure.

[0064] A reserved hole 113 communicating with the interior of the elbow pillow body 1 is formed on the bottom surface thereof, and the reserved hole 113 is located at the rear side of the vent 111 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the support arm 31 is inserted into the interior of the elbow pillow body 1 through the reserved hole 113, and the inserted end of the support arm 31 is hinged to the elbow pillow body 1 along the left-right direction of the vehicle body; since the reserved hole 113 is located on the rear side of the vent 111, the elbow pillow body 1 will not abut against the air inlet duct 2 when swinging, thereby avoiding damage to the air inlet duct 2 and ensuring the service life of the air inlet duct 2.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the insertion end of the support arm 31 is connected with the elastic member 4.

[0067] By adopting the above technical solution, when the elbow pillow body 1 is opened to its bottom surface to avoid the opening of the armrest box 100 , the elastic member 4 undergoes elastic deformation to drive the elbow pillow body 1 to cover the opening of the armrest box 100 .

[0068] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the elastic member 4 includes a connecting rod 41 and a torsion spring 42 .

[0069] The connecting rod 41 is fixedly arranged inside the elbow rest body 1, with its axial direction parallel to the left-right direction of the vehicle body, and is hinged to the insertion end of the supporting arm 31 along the left-right direction of the vehicle body.

[0070] The torsion spring 42 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the connecting rod 41 , and two ends of the torsion spring 42 are connected to the connecting rod 41 and the supporting arm 31 respectively.

[0071] By adopting the above technical solution, when the elbow pillow body 1 is opened to avoid the opening of the armrest box 100, the support arm 31 drives the torsion spring 42 to undergo elastic deformation to accumulate elastic potential energy; after the human power is withdrawn, the elbow pillow body 1 can swing relative to the support arm 31 under the action of the torsion spring 42 to realize the elbow pillow body 1 being restored from the open state to the state covering the armrest box 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the elbow pillow body 1 includes a lower shell 11 and an upper shell 12.

[0073] The lower shell 11 is hingedly disposed on the upper side of the armrest box 100 , and the upper shell 12 is detachably connected to the upper side of the lower shell 11 .

[0074] When the lower shell 11 is connected to the upper shell 12 , a cavity is formed between the lower shell 11 and the upper shell 12 , and each air outlet 121 is disposed on the upper shell 12 .

[0075] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper surface of the upper shell 12 is covered with a foam layer 122 and a skin layer 123 , and each air outlet 121 is arranged through the foam layer 122 and the skin layer 123 .

[0076] Among them, the foam layer 122 is usually formed by a separate mold, so that it can form preset shapes such as rounded corners and curved surfaces at both ends, while ensuring that it can adapt to different shaped surfaces; the skin layer 123 is made of skin-friendly leather to ensure the comfort when the arm is placed on the top surface of the upper shell 12.

[0077] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a car, comprising the elbow rest assembly proposed in any of the aforementioned items.

[0078] The beneficial effects of the automobile provided by this embodiment are the same as the beneficial effects of the aforementioned elbow rest assembly, and will not be described in detail here.

[0079] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
