[0028] Reference Figure 1 , showing a schematic diagram of the structure of the armrest box according to an embodiment of the present application from a top view in an embodiment, referring to Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of an armrest box in an embodiment and Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of an armrest box in a top view under an embodiment. In a first aspect, the present disclosure proposes an armrest box, wherein the armrest box (1) comprises a box body (2), two box doors (3), a rotating shaft (4), a belt (5) and a synchronization mechanism (6), wherein the box doors (3) are rotatably connected to the box body (2) through corresponding rotating shafts (4), and the belt (5) is respectively transmission-connected to the rotating shaft (4) and the synchronization mechanism (6), so that the box doors (3) can synchronously open and close the box body (2).

[0029] The present invention utilizes the characteristic that the belt (5) can absorb and distribute the impact force generated during the transmission process, so that the transmission process is smooth and noiseless.

[0030] A storage space is provided inside the box body (2) for placing articles. The synchronous mechanism (6) drives the belt (5) to synchronously drive in the opposite direction, so that the rotating shaft (4) rotates in the opposite direction synchronously. The box door (3) is synchronously turned in the opposite direction driven by the rotating shaft (4) to open and close the box body (2).

[0031] In some embodiments, the armrest box (1) further comprises a tensioning wheel (72), the tensioning wheel (72) being connected to the box body (2), and the tensioning wheel (72) being connected to the belt (5) so as to keep the belt (5) in a tensioned state, thereby preventing the belt (5) from slipping and losing force transmission, thereby affecting the synchronous opening and closing of the box door (3). The tensioning wheel (72) may be a cylinder, and its side surface abuts against the slack side of the belt (5), so that the entire belt (5) remains tensioned.

[0032] In some embodiments, the armrest box (1) also includes a rotating plate (7), which is rotatably connected to the box body (2) via a first connecting portion (71), and a tensioning wheel (72) is arranged on the rotating plate (7), and the first connecting portion (71) and the tensioning wheel (72) are spaced apart in the width direction (13) of the armrest box (1).

[0033] The synchronization mechanism (6) is connected to the box body (2), a gap is left between the belt (5) and the box body (2), and at least part of the rotating plate (7) extends into the gap; the tensioning wheel (72) can be a protrusion on the rotating plate (7), and the protrusion abuts against the belt (5).

[0034] In some embodiments, the armrest box (1) also includes a tensioning wheel spring (8), one end of the tensioning wheel spring (8) is connected to the box body (2), and the other end is connected to the second connecting portion (73) of the rotating plate (7). The tensioning wheel spring (8) drives the rotating plate (7) to rotate around the first connecting portion (71) so that the tensioning wheel (72) is connected to the belt (5) so that the belt (5) remains in a tensioned state, thereby preventing the belt (5) from slipping and losing transmission force.

[0035] The tension wheel spring (8) drives the rotating plate (7) to rotate to an appropriate position so that the tension wheel (72) provides appropriate tensioning force to the belt (5) to prevent the tension wheel (72) from over-pressing the belt (5) so that the belt (5) is over-tensioned and damaged, or the tensioning force provided to the belt (5) is insufficient so that the belt (5) slips.

[0036] In some embodiments, preferably, the tensioning wheel (72) is arranged between the first connecting portion (71) and the second connecting portion (73) in the width direction (13) of the armrest box (1), increasing the lever arm so that the spring can achieve the desired effect with less force.

[0037] In some embodiments, the armrest box (1) also includes a driving member (11), which is connected to the box body (2) and the rotating shaft (4), so that the rotating shaft (4) drives the box door (3) to flip. Preferably, the driving member (11) can be a spring, etc., and the driving spring drives the rotating shaft (4) to rotate so that the flipping speed of the box door (3) is not too fast, so as to avoid collision with surrounding parts.

[0038] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft (4) includes a driving shaft (43) and a connecting shaft (44). The driving shaft (43) is connected to the driving member (11) to drive the box door (3) to flip. The driving member (11) can be a torsion spring, which is connected to the driving shaft (43) to drive the driving shaft (43) to rotate and thereby flip the box door (3). The connecting shaft (44) is connected to the belt (5), and the belt (5) is connected to the synchronization mechanism (6) in a transmission manner, thereby connecting the movements of the two box doors (3). The driving shaft (43) and the connecting shaft (44) are spaced apart in the length direction (12) of the armrest box (1). Preferably, the driving shaft (43) and the connecting shaft (44) are not coaxially arranged, thereby reducing the usage of the rotating shaft (4), the belt (5) and the synchronization mechanism (6), thereby reducing costs. Optionally, the driving shaft (43) and the connecting shaft (44) can be one rotating shaft.

[0040] One of the box doors (3) is rotatably connected to the box body (2) via a first rotating shaft (41), and the other of the box doors (3) is rotatably connected to the box body (2) via a second rotating shaft (42). The first rotating shaft (41) and the second rotating shaft (42) are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the vehicle. The two box doors (3) form a double-opening box door (3). The first rotating shaft (41) is at one end of the box body (2), and the second rotating shaft (42) is at the other end of the box body (2).

[0042] The first gear (61) and the second gear (62) are rotatably connected to the box body (2), and a space is left between the belt (5) and the box body (2), and at least part of the rotating plate (7) is located in the space. In some embodiments, the first rotating shaft (41) and the second rotating shaft (42) are spaced apart in the width direction (13) of the armrest box (1), and the box door (3) flips around the corresponding rotating shaft (4) in opposite directions.

The box body (2) is provided with a locking portion, and the locking block can be disengaged from the locking portion by pressing the button, so that the box door (3) can be flipped open under the drive of the driving member (11). When at least one of the two parts of the box door (3) is pressed, the locking block is engaged with the locking portion, and the box body (2) is closed.

[0044] In some embodiments, the armrest box (1) further comprises a shaft sleeve (9), and the rotating shaft (9) is connected to the belt via the shaft sleeve, wherein the shaft sleeve (9) can be a gear that cooperates with the belt (5).

[0045] In the second aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes a vehicle, which includes an armrest box (1). The armrest box (1) can be arranged between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat of the vehicle to provide a surface for the driver and passengers to rest their arms and a space for storing items. When any box door (3) is pressed, the two box doors (3) are synchronously flipped to close the box body (2), thereby improving the user experience.
