[0025] like Figure 1-5The armrest bracket shown in the figure includes a pair of side guard plates 2. The structures of the two side guard plates 2 are mirror images of each other and are arranged symmetrically. The spacing between the two side guard plates 2 is not uniform. Usually, the spacing at the rear end of the side guard plate 2 is larger than the spacing at the front end. A clearance groove 204 is opened on the upper surface of each side guard plate 2 for the outer expansion upper edge of the built-in cup holder to be embedded. A partition frame 1 and a bottom support plate 3 are fixedly connected between the side guard plates 2. The partition frame 1 is a structure that separates the front cup holder and the rear armrest box, and the bottom support plate 3 is a structure that supports a wireless charging plate or a mobile phone tray. The partition frame 1 and the bottom support plate 3 are respectively close to the two ends of the side guard plate 2, the partition frame 1 is close to the rear end of the side guard plate 2, and the bottom support plate 3 is close to the front of the side guard plate 2. End, but the two are not flush with the end faces of the side guard plates 2. Each side guard plate 2 is provided with a positioning groove 201 and an embedded groove 202 at the end close to the bottom support plate 3. The positioning groove 201 is located on the bottom surface of the side guard plate 2, which is actually connected to the bottom surface of the side guard plate 2 and is used to fit with the rack under the center console. It can provide a pre-positioning effect when installing the armrest bracket. The embedded groove 202 is close to the top surface of the side guard plate 2, and also fits with the rack under the hollow table, which is used to constrain the armrest bracket in a specific direction. The bottom surface of each side guard plate 2 is provided with a lower card slot 203 between the partition frame 1 and the bottom support plate 3, which fits with the rack between the main and co-pilot seats to suppress the armrest bracket from moving back and forth.

[0026] The partition frame 1 and the side guard plate 2 are separate, and the specific structure of the partition frame 1 includes a bridge plate 101. The bridge plate 101 is usually placed horizontally, and the upper surface of the bridge plate 101 is usually flush with the top surface of the side guard plate 2. Both ends of the bridge plate 101 have inner lining plates 102 fixedly connected to the side guard plate 2. The inner lining plate 102 is longitudinal and fixedly connected to the side guard plate 2 by welding. The lower end of the inner lining plate 102 extends to the bottom of the side guard plate 2 and is fixedly connected to a foot plate 103. The foot plate 103 is horizontally arranged, and the upper surface of the foot plate 103 is flush with the bottom surface of the side guard plate 2. The foot plate 103 is provided with a rear end connecting hole 104 that passes through the upper and lower surfaces, for bolts and other connecting parts to pass through to fix the foot plate 103 to the frame between the driver and the co-driver.

[0027] The bridge plate 101 is provided with a load-reducing groove 105 that passes through the upper and lower surfaces. Because the bridge plate 101 is not a regular shape, the load-reducing groove 105 usually needs to be provided in the part of the bridge plate 101 with a larger horizontal area. Under the premise of ensuring structural stability, it reduces consumables and reduces dead weight, thereby avoiding being contrary to the design goal of lightweighting the entire vehicle. Each side guard plate 2 is provided with a positioning hole 205 that passes through the inner and outer walls, which is used to provide installation positioning for the rear armrest box to improve the matching accuracy. The positioning hole 205 is located between the end face of the side guard plate 2 and the partition frame 1, so the positioning hole 205 is closer to the rear end of the side guard plate 2 than the partition frame 1. In this way, the positioning hole 205 is closer to the armrest box configured at the rear, making it easier to achieve the installation positioning function. The bottom support plate 3 is provided with a front end connecting hole 301 that passes through the upper and lower surfaces, which is also for bolts and other connecting parts to pass through to fix the bottom support plate 3 to the rack below the center console. In this way, the front and rear end bottoms of the armrest bracket are constrained on the rack inside the vehicle, which can maintain stability well.

[0028] The bottom surface of the bottom support plate 3 is flush with the lower surface of the side guard plate 2 and is in direct contact with the frame, which can disperse the contact stress between the armrest bracket and the frame. A vertical inner support frame 4 is also fixedly connected between the two side guard plates 2 to further improve the stability of the spacing between the two side guard plates 2. The inner support frame 4 is located between the lower card slot 203 and the bottom support plate 3, which is actually located between the wireless charging plate and the central control cup holder. A reinforcing plate 5 is fixedly connected between the inner support frame 4 and the side guard plate 2. The reinforcing plate 5 is located between the front and rear sides of the inner support frame 4 and the inner wall of the side guard plate 2 to improve the connection stability between the inner support plate 4 and the side guard plate 2.

[0029] Installation instructions: During installation, first insert the front end of the armrest bracket diagonally downward into the gap below the center console, so that the positioning groove 201 and the embedded groove 202 are engaged with the in-vehicle frame below the center console to position them first, then lower the armrest bracket so that the lower slot 203 fits with the in-vehicle frame between the driver and the co-driver. At this time, the bottom support plate 3 and the foot plate 103 are engaged with the upper surface of the in-vehicle frame between the driver and the co-driver. Finally, bolts can be used to pass through the front and rear connection holes respectively to achieve a fastening connection. After the armrest bracket is installed, the wireless charging plate and mobile phone tray can be installed between the bottom support plate 3 and the inner support frame; the cup holder can be installed between the inner support frame 4 and the partition frame 1; and the armrest box structure can be installed behind the partition frame 1.
