Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile manufacturing, in particular to an installation structure for a suspended handrail and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] The door armrest is one of the important components of the door trim of the car. Its functions include decorating the door trim, facilitating the passengers to open and close the door, and holding the passengers' arms to reduce driving fatigue. The door armrests are usually of three types: integral, suspended (separate through) and segmented. The integral type is formed by the armrest frame and the door trim, while the suspended type is formed by the armrest part independently. Then, the whole armrest trim assembly is assembled and matched with the door trim according to a specific connection method. The segmented type is to install the relevant parts in sections to finally form the armrest.

[0003] With the development of automobile manufacturing technology, people's requirements for car interior are getting higher and higher. Therefore, existing vehicles usually use floating armrests in the process of research and development and innovation to meet user experience. However, floating armrests have the following defects when used: (1) Structural design: Most of the floating armrests on the market use two connecting columns, which penetrate the armrest seat assembly and the door interior panel. A handle box or the handle structure itself is designed between the connecting columns for passengers to open and close the door. However, this design makes the appearance more abrupt, and the front and rear ends are left with space, which has low space utilization and is not conducive to the user's riding experience. (2) Support strength: Because the floating armrest is connected to the door interior panel and lacks a supporting structure, it is easy to be unevenly stressed. Therefore, the key to the design of the floating armrest cover is the assembly method with the door interior panel so that it does not deform when subjected to high-intensity pressure. The strength of the connecting column structure depends entirely on the connection of the connecting column screws, which is relatively unevenly stressed. The bolts are subjected to a large force and there is a risk of cracking. Utility Model Content
