[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a new type of central control armrest upper cover, including an upper surface skin 1, a sponge 2, an upper cover plate 3, a lower cover plate 4 and a lower surface skin 5.

The use of the sponge 2 makes the armrest cover soft to the touch, and the shapes of the upper surface skin 1, the sponge 2, the upper cover plate 3, the lower cover plate 4 and the lower surface skin 5 are adaptive and flexible.

[0020] Specifically, the upper epidermis 1 is provided with card slots 11 on all sides, grooves 31 are provided on one side of the upper cover plate 3 in a circle, and protrusions 32 matching the card slots 11 are provided on the other side. The upper epidermis 1 is wrapped on the upper cover plate 3, and the side edges of the upper epidermis 1 are wrapped under the upper cover plate 3, so that the card slots 11 on the upper epidermis 1 and the protrusions 32 on the upper cover plate 3 are buckled together.

[0021] Specifically, the sponge 2 is filled around and fixed in the groove 31, and the upper skin 1 is wrapped together with the sponge 2 and the upper cover plate 3, so that the sponge 2 will not deviate during use.
