The driver 4 drives the armrest assembly 2 to move relative to the bracket 1 through the lifting mechanism, so that the armrest assembly 2 has at least a first state and a second state with different heights relative to the bracket 1, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the armrest assembly 2 relative to the bracket 1.

[0029] In one embodiment, the bracket 1 is at least partially frame-shaped, and includes a first bracket 11 and a second bracket 12 that are oppositely disposed, and an accommodating space 13 formed between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 for installing the lifting mechanism and the driver 4 .

[0030] Furthermore, the armrest assembly 2 includes an armrest body 21 and a lifting rod 22 that are fixedly connected to each other. The lifting rod 22 is slidably inserted into the bracket 1 and connected to the lifting mechanism. The first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are respectively provided with guide holes 1a, and the guide holes 1a on the first bracket 11 coincide with the center lines of the guide holes 1a on the second bracket 12. The guide holes 1a are used for the lifting rod 22 to pass through and limit the moving direction of the lifting rod 22, so as to realize the sliding connection between the lifting rod 22 and the bracket 1. The number of lifting rods 22 is preferably two, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the armrest to improve stability.

[0031] Please continue reading Figure 1 , Figure 2 The pulley body 34a includes a first pulley 341 mounted on the first bracket 11, and a second pulley 342 mounted on the second bracket 12. The number of the first pulley 341 and the second pulley 342 are both two. Optionally, the two first pulleys 341 and the second pulley 342 are respectively arranged at positions of the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 close to the guide rods, and are both located between the two guide rods, so that the lifting mechanism can run more smoothly.

[0032] See also Figure 3 The lifting mechanism includes an adjusting member 31 fixedly connected to the lifting rod 22 , a wire reel 33 mounted on the bracket 1 , and a transmission rope 32 fixedly connected to the adjusting member 31 and transmission-connected to the wire reel 33 .

[0033] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism further includes a housing 51 and a mounting plate 52, wherein the housing 51 is used to mount the cable reel 33 and the driver 4, and the mounting plate 52 is used to fix the housing 51 to the bracket 1. Specifically, the mounting plate 52 is fixedly arranged on the bracket 1 by fastener connection or welding. Preferably, the mounting plate 52 is installed between the two lifting rods 22, and the distance between the mounting plate 52 and the two guide rods is equal or close, that is, the geometric center of the mounting plate 52 is located on the center line of the accommodating space 13 along the direction parallel to the axial direction of the lifting rod 22, or near the center line, thereby further improving stability.

[0034] In one embodiment, the mounting plate 52 includes a first mounting portion 521 connected to the bracket 1, and a second mounting portion 522 connected to the housing 51; optionally, the first mounting portion 521 is in the shape of a plate, and vertically extends from one end thereof in a direction close to the accommodating space 13 to form the second mounting portion 522. At least two connecting holes are respectively provided on the first mounting portion 521 and the second mounting portion 522 for fasteners to pass through, and the housing 51 is fixed to the second mounting portion 522, and the first mounting portion 521 is fixed to the second bracket 12, respectively, by the fasteners, so as to facilitate installation.

[0035] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism further includes a pulley block 34 for changing the moving direction of the transmission rope 32, and the pulley block 34 includes a mounting frame 35 fixedly connected to the bracket 1, and a pulley body 34a rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 35. Specifically, the mounting frame 35 includes a support portion 35a fixedly connected to the bracket 1 and a connecting rod 353 connected to the support portion 35a, and the pulley body 34a is sleeved on the connecting rod 353.

[0036] Further, the support portion 35a includes a first support portion 351 and a second support portion 352 that are symmetrically arranged, and the pulley body 34a is at least partially located between the first support portion 351 and the second support portion 352. In one embodiment, the support portion 35a is in a "J" shape, that is, the first support portion 351 and the second support portion are integrally connected. In another embodiment, the first support portion 351 and the second support portion 352 are both in an "L" shape and are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the bracket 1 close to the accommodating space 13.

[0037] The vehicle door armrest of the utility model also includes a controller connected to the driver 4 for communication, and a lifting switch connected to the controller for communication. In one embodiment, the driver 4 is a rotary motor, and the driver 4 is fixed to the vehicle door or the bracket 1. The lifting switch is used to control the driver 4 to rotate forward or reverse through the controller, thereby driving the lifting rod 22 to extend or shorten the part extending relative to the first bracket 11 along the center line direction of the guide hole 1a, thereby adjusting the height of the armrest body 21.

[0038] When in use, when the controller receives the signal from the lifting switch to raise the door armrest, it controls the motor to rotate forward and drives the reel 33 to rotate forward, thereby pulling the first transmission section 321, and the transmission rope 32 drives the two adjusting members 31 and the lifting rod 22 fixedly connected to the adjusting member 31 to move upward relative to the bracket 1 through the pulley group 34, so that the height of the armrest body 21 relative to the bracket 1 is increased; conversely, the motor reverses and drives the reel 33 to reverse, thereby pulling the second transmission section 322, and the transmission rope 32 drives the two adjusting members 31 and the lifting rod 22 fixedly connected to the adjusting member 31 to move downward relative to the bracket 1 through the pulley group 34, so that the height of the armrest body 21 relative to the bracket 1 is decreased.

[0039] The above is only a specific implementation of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
