Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to a novel armrest structure of a sub-instrument panel capable of being suspended. 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 center console. Not only general functionality needs to be considered, but more functions need to be realized within a limited layout space. Therefore, for high-end vehicles of luxury brands, how to optimize the product structure so that the product structure can meet both the operability requirements of the installation function and the layout restrictions of the surrounding installation environment space is a design difficulty for many automotive interior products. Especially for the style and size requirements of the armrest on the center console, among the many existing armrest types, there are flip type, split type, side flip type, etc., with different sizes. The main function of the car's auxiliary dashboard armrest is to provide comfort and convenience. The armrest was originally designed to provide elbow support for passengers, especially during long-term driving or riding, to relieve arm fatigue, soreness or stiffness. In addition to providing basic armrest support functions, the armrest is also used as a storage box cover. When the existing armrest is opened, it is divided into two types: non-hovering and hovering. The non-hovering armrest has only two use states: closed and fully opened, and cannot stay in any position in the middle; the hinge structure of the non-hovering armrest is relatively complex, and most of the metal parts are heavy. In view of this, a new auxiliary instrument panel hovering armrest structure is urgently needed in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a new auxiliary instrument panel hovering armrest structure which has a reasonable design, a compact structure and can meet the needs of customers. The armrest structure uses a damping mechanism at the pin positions on both sides to enable the armrest to hover at any angle during the opening and closing process, thereby meeting the convenience of customer use. At the same time, during the entire opening and closing process of the customer, the operating force of the armrest is uniform. After 18,000 high and low temperature tests for durable operation, the operating force of the armrest has no functional failure, and the operating force attenuation is ≤20%, thereby greatly improving the stability of the operating force of the armrest.

[0004] The utility model solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0005] A novel auxiliary instrument panel armrest structure capable of hovering comprises: an armrest assembly 1, an auxiliary panel assembly assembly 2, a hinge assembly 3, an armrest surface skin 4, an armrest foam 5, an armrest frame 6, an armrest inner panel 7, a rear end panel assembly 8, and a damper 9. The hinge assembly 3 in the armrest assembly 1 is connected to the auxiliary panel assembly 2 by bolts (such as Figure 6The armrest foam 5 is fixed to the upper surface of the armrest frame 6 by clamping, and its surface is covered with the armrest surface skin 4 by nailing; the hinge assembly 3 is connected to the armrest frame 6 by bolts (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 The rear end plate assembly 8 is connected to the sub-plate assembly 2 by a snap connection (as shown); Figure 8 The armrest inner plate 7 is connected to the armrest frame 6 by a snap connection (as shown); Figure 7 The hinge assembly 3 has two ends of the pin position riveted damper 9 (as shown); Figure 4 shown);

[0006] The armrest assembly 1 is composed of a hinge assembly 3, an armrest surface skin 4, an armrest foam 5, an armrest frame 6 and an armrest inner plate 7;

[0007] The hinge assembly 3 is fixed by riveting a stamped bracket made of SAPH440 stainless steel, and dampers 9 are riveted and installed at the pin positions at both ends, and the operating force and hovering function of the hinge assembly 3 are adjusted by the dampers 9;

[0008] The armrest surface skin 4 is made of PVC surface with back foam, and its surface color and texture are matched according to different armrest assembly 1 configurations. The armrest surface skin 4 is fixed to the armrest frame 6 by nailing.

[0009] The armrest foam 5 is formed by foaming PUR foam material, and the Shore hardness of the foam is 25±5. It is fixed to the armrest frame 6 by snap-fitting.

[0010] The armrest frame 6 is made of PC / ABS material by injection molding.

[0011] The armrest inner plate 7 is made of PC / ABS material by injection molding, and its surface is black flocking process.

[0012] The damper 9 is a spring-type damper;

[0013] When the utility model is in use, the armrest assembly 1 has a pair of spring-type dampers on the left and right sides. During the opening and closing process of the armrest assembly 1, the damper 9 provides a damping force to eliminate the armrest's own gravity generated at different angles, thereby adjusting the armrest operating force to make it constant during the opening and closing process of the armrest assembly, and providing the armrest assembly 1 with a hovering function that can achieve a rotation angle of 0° to 85° during the movement. When the armrest assembly 1 needs to be disassembled, the rear end plate assembly 8 is first removed, and then the armrest assembly 1 is separated from the sub-plate assembly assembly 2 by rotating the mounting screws.

[0014] The advantages and positive effects of the utility model are:

[0015] The utility model has a reasonable design and a stable structure. By installing it on the auxiliary instrument panel assembly, it realizes the comfort of the armrest assembly, the stability of the operating force, the hovering during the flipping process, and the larger storage space. In this state, it can be seen that the different appearance configurations of the armrest assembly are realized by covering the surface with different colors. In addition, the assembly and disassembly of this armrest assembly are convenient and have good operability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
