[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile manufacturing industry, the market's technical requirements for the field of automobile parts have also increased rapidly. The seat armrests of vehicles generally have adjustable functions. Existing armrests generally use the friction generated when the retaining spring holds the shaft to position the armrest. Although this technology is simple, the worn retaining spring cannot hold the shaft tightly and cause failure. It also needs to be manually unlocked when used; the adjustment angle is fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted upward or downward, which makes it difficult to meet the driving needs of different drivers. There are also armrests that use a ratchet structure for adjustment, but this structure of armrests not only cannot achieve the effect of stepless adjustment, but also have a "clicking" noise when adjusting.
