[0022] Example 1

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 3, this embodiment provides a folding and anti-loosening seat armrest structure, including an armrest body assembly, a rotating shaft 7, an armrest fixed side plate 4 and an armrest limiting mechanism, the armrest body assembly is connected to the armrest fixed side plate 4 through the rotating shaft 7; the armrest limiting mechanism includes an armrest limiting rod 3 and an armrest body limiting hole 11; the armrest body assembly includes an armrest body 6, a shaft sleeve 8, and an armrest side cover 9; the rotating shaft 7 includes a cylindrical rotating section and a U-shaped platform stage, the U-shaped platform stage is fixedly connected to the armrest fixed side plate, and the cylindrical rotating section is cooperatively connected to the armrest assembly to prevent the armrest from loosening due to the rotation of the rotating shaft. When the armrest body assembly rotates at a high frequency, the cylindrical rotating section can move smoothly, and the U-shaped platform stage is cooperatively embedded in the armrest fixed side plate 4 to ensure that the armrest body assembly will not loosen due to the rotation of the rotating shaft during movement.

[0024] In this embodiment, the armrest body 6 is mounted on the rotating shaft 7 via a sleeve 8. The sleeve 8 is made of plastic. Sleeves 8 are installed on the contact surface between the rotating shaft 7 and the armrest body 6. When the armrest rotates up and down, the sleeve 8 can eliminate the abnormal noise caused by friction. A wear-resistant sheet 2 is installed between the armrest body assembly 1 and the armrest fixed side plate 4. When the armrest body assembly 1 is folded up during use, the wear-resistant sheet 2 can buffer the friction between the two and extend the service life of the armrest. At the same time, the thickness of the wear-resistant sheet 2 can be adjusted to adjust the force required to fold the armrest body assembly 1. When a thicker wear-resistant sheet is selected, tightening the fixing bolt 5 will increase the pressure between the armrest body assembly 1 and the armrest fixed side plate 4, and the force required to rotate the armrest body assembly 1 will also increase; when a thinner wear-resistant sheet is selected, tightening the fixing bolt 5 will reduce the pressure between the armrest body assembly 1 and the armrest fixed side plate 4, and the force required to rotate the armrest body assembly 1 will also decrease.

[0025] In this embodiment, the armrest body assembly 1 is provided with an armrest limiting hole 11, and an arc-shaped hole is also provided at the corresponding position of the wear-resistant plate 2. The limiting rod 3 is installed in the armrest limiting hole 11 and is fixed to the armrest fixed side plate 4 through a nut 5. After the armrest is rotated to a certain angle, the limiting rod 3 contacts the end of the armrest limiting hole 11, and the armrest cannot continue to advance, thereby achieving a limiting effect.

[0026] Example 2

When the armrest body assembly rotates at a high frequency, the cylindrical rotating section can move smoothly, and the U-shaped platform stage is cooperatively embedded in the armrest fixed side plate 4 to ensure that the armrest body assembly will not loosen due to the rotation of the rotating shaft during movement.

[0028] In this embodiment, the armrest body 6 is mounted on the rotating shaft 7 via a sleeve 8. The sleeve 8 is made of plastic. Sleeves 8 are installed on the contact surface between the rotating shaft 7 and the armrest body 6. When the armrest rotates up and down, the sleeve 8 can eliminate the abnormal noise caused by friction. A wear-resistant sheet 2 is installed between the armrest body assembly 1 and the armrest fixed side plate 4. When the armrest body assembly 1 is folded up during use, the wear-resistant sheet 2 can buffer the friction between the two and extend the service life of the armrest. At the same time, the thickness of the wear-resistant sheet 2 can be adjusted to adjust the force required to fold the armrest body assembly 1. When a thicker wear-resistant sheet is selected, tightening the fixing bolt 5 will increase the pressure between the armrest body assembly 1 and the armrest fixed side plate 4, and the force required to rotate the armrest body assembly 1 will also increase; when a thinner wear-resistant sheet is selected, tightening the fixing bolt 5 will reduce the pressure between the armrest body assembly 1 and the armrest fixed side plate 4, and the force required to rotate the armrest body assembly 1 will also decrease.

[0029] In this embodiment, the armrest body assembly 1 is provided with an armrest limiting hole 11, and an arc-shaped hole is also provided at the corresponding position of the wear-resistant plate 2. The limiting rod 3 is installed in the armrest limiting hole 11 and is fixed to the armrest fixed side plate 4 through a nut 5. After the armrest is rotated to a certain angle, the limiting rod 3 contacts the end of the armrest limiting hole 11, and the armrest cannot continue to advance, thereby achieving a limiting effect.

[0030] Furthermore, the arc angle of the armrest limiting hole can be changed according to actual needs. The stroke size of the limiting rod in the circumferential position can be changed by adjusting the arc angle of the armrest limiting hole 11, thereby changing the rotation angle of the armrest to meet the needs of different people for the folding angle of the armrest; when the arc angle is set to 90°, the limiting rod 3 can achieve 1 / 4 of the movement around the rotation axis on the circumference, thereby realizing the 90° upward folding movement of the armrest.

When the armrest body assembly 1 is folded up during use, the wear-resistant sheet 2 can buffer the friction between the two and extend the service life of the armrest. At the same time, the thickness of the wear-resistant sheet 2 can be adjusted to adjust the force required to fold the armrest body assembly 1. When a thicker wear-resistant sheet is selected, tightening the fixing bolt 5 will increase the pressure between the armrest body assembly 1 and the armrest fixed side plate 4, and the force required to rotate the armrest body assembly 1 will also increase; when a thinner wear-resistant sheet is selected, tightening the fixing bolt 5 will reduce the pressure between the armrest body assembly 1 and the armrest fixed side plate 4, and the force required to rotate the armrest body assembly 1 will also decrease.
