Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile interior decoration, in particular to a novel buffer button structure suitable for an auxiliary instrument panel armrest. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the automobile industry, end users have more and more functional requirements for vehicle interior products, especially for the functional requirements of the vehicle armrest buffer button structure, which can not only improve the comfort of the armrest, but also increase the beauty of the armrest. At the same time, higher and higher requirements are put forward for the surrounding environment structure of the buffer button, especially the installation and fixing structure.
[0003] Usually, the armrest buffer button used on the auxiliary instrument panel of a car can only play a buffering function. However, with the development of modern cars, more and more functions are given to the car itself, which makes the layout structure of the car interior more complicated and puts forward higher requirements for the product layout space. Therefore, combining the buffer structure of the armrest buffer button with the installation and fixing structure of the armrest body can not only solve the compactness problem of the armrest layout space, but also ensure the buffering and comfort function of the armrest. In view of this, a new type of buffer button structure suitable for the auxiliary instrument panel armrest is urgently needed in the industry. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, provide a new design form, and a new buffer button structure that can meet the comfort function of the armrest. On the basis of the existing common automobile buffer button arrangement structure, the buffer button is combined with the arrangement structure of the armrest fixing screw, which not only meets the collision buffering function when the armrest is closed and locked, but also takes into account the function of shielding the exposed screw after fixing, and also meets the disassembly and assembly requirements of the armrest assembly.
[0005] The utility model solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solutions:
[0006] A novel buffer button structure suitable for a sub-instrument panel armrest, comprising: a buffer button 1, an armrest inner plate 2, an armrest upper cover plate 3, a hinge assembly 4, and mounting screws 5, wherein the armrest upper cover plate 3 is connected to the hinge assembly 4 by bolts, the rear end of the armrest inner plate 2 is fixed to the rear end of the armrest upper cover plate 3 by clamping, and the front end of the armrest inner plate 2 is fixed to the front end of the armrest upper cover plate 3 by mounting screws 5 (such as Figure 2 After the screw 5 is fixed, the buffer button 1 is connected to the inner plate 2 of the armrest by snap connection (as shown); Figure 2 As shown), it serves to cover the screw head of the mounting screw 5 after installation. From the perspective of appearance, this structure is a structure without exposed screws, and can ensure the cushioning comfort function of the armrest (such as Figure 2 shown).
[0007] When in use, the utility model not only meets the surface rigidity requirements of the armrest assembly installation, but also meets the comfort requirements when the armrest is closed, while fully considering the installation layout space inside the armrest and the operability of the installation buffer button. The armrest upper cover plate 3 and the armrest inner plate 2 are reinforced and fastened by installing screws 5, the screw radius size is 5mm, and a buffer button 1 with an outer contour radius of 5.6mm, an internal groove depth of 1mm, and a claw length of 3.9mm at both ends is arranged at the upper end of the screw. After repeated disassembly and assembly experiments and comfort tests of the armrest opening and closing, it was finally verified to be qualified and met all customer requirements.
[0008] The buffer button 1 is a rubber product made of EPDM soft rubber material injection molding, and the material hardness of the EPDM material used is 65±5° Shore hardness. The surface is smooth with sparkle leather texture, and the interior has a pear-shaped cavity, which can effectively reduce the collision noise when the handrail is closed and increase the buffering effect of the handrail (such as Figure 2 The claws at both ends of the buffer button can be properly clamped into the mounting hole formed by the inner plate 2 of the armrest and the top of the fixing screw 5, making it difficult for the buffer button 1 to fall off (as shown). Figure 2 and Figure 4 The 1mm groove at the bottom of the buffer button 1 allows it to fit effectively with the top of the fixing screw 5, while also saving a certain amount of installation space (such as Figure 5 shown).
[0009] The fixing screw 5 is a standard hexagon socket pan head flange self-tapping screw, and the installation torque is 1.6±0.3Nm.
[0010] The advantages and positive effects of the utility model are:
[0011] The utility model has a reasonable design and a compact structure. It fully meets many functional requirements of the auxiliary instrument panel by adopting an effective special buffer button structure. In this state, the appearance can be seen to meet the armrest size requirements and the armrest is beautiful and fashionable. Functionally, it can meet the needs of multiple disassembly and assembly of the armrest and the collision comfort requirements when the armrest is closed, and has good operability.
