Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiment of the utility model generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiment of the utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiment of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] like Figure 1 to Figure 3As shown, the double-opening armrest with a gear adjustment structure proposed by the utility model includes a load-bearing and accommodating component, a cover cover protection component, a deflection force component, a gear switching component, a locking and matching component and an opening and closing damping component.

The opening and closing damping component is installed between the load-bearing and accommodating component and the cover cover protection component, and the opening and closing damping component applies damping to the opening or closing process of the cover cover protection component.

[0034] In this embodiment, the load-bearing and containing assembly includes a load-bearing bottom shell 100, which is formed by enclosing plates and is installed in the vehicle body through connectors, and forms a containing space with a top opening therein.

[0035] The shield cover assembly includes a deflection shaft rod 210 and a cover shell plate 220. There are two pairs of deflection shaft rods, and each pair of deflection shaft rods is respectively installed at the two ends of the load-bearing bottom shell. There is a pair of cover shell plates, and each cover shell plate is respectively located on both sides of the load-bearing bottom shell. Each pair of deflection shaft rods is respectively inserted at the two ends of the cover shell plate, so that the cover shell plate can be deflected on the load-bearing bottom shell to open or close the top opening of the accommodating space.
