Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of vehicle components and relates to a vehicle armrest box. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement and development of manufacturing technology, the functional structure of the armrest box has also increased. For example, the armrest box structure that should be used on existing vehicles usually includes a box body with a storage cavity, a box cover that is flippable and buckled on the box body, and in order to add more storage functions, a sundry box for holding sundries is added between the box body and the box cover. When the sundry box is set, it is usually set to a structure that can be flipped synchronously with the box cover. In this way, when opening the box body or the sundry box, you only need to select the switch button for opening the box body and the box cover or the switch button for the sundry box and the box cover to achieve selective opening of the box body or the sundry box.

[0003] Patent CN106143327A discloses an armrest box, comprising a box body with a storage cavity with a top opening, a box cover pivotally connected to the box body through a pivot member to cover the top of the box body, and a glove box located between the box body and the box cover. The armrest box also includes: a first connecting member, which is rotatably connected to the glove box and the box body respectively; a second connecting member, which is fixedly connected to the pivot member and slidably arranged in the box cover, and a pivot portion pivotally connected to the glove box is provided on the second connecting member; when the box cover is opened or closed relative to the box body, the second connecting member slides in the box cover to drive the glove box to move out of the storage cavity or sink into the storage cavity.

[0004] However, the existing armrest box includes a storage part and a cup holder part. When installed on a car, the distance between the cup holder part and the car seat is large, and debris is easy to fall into the gap and is difficult to take out. It is easy to deteriorate over time, affecting the interior environment of the car and thus affecting the comfort of passengers. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the comfort of passengers, the present application provides a vehicle armrest box.

[0006] The vehicle armrest box provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

The driving gear is coaxially fixed on the hinge shaft, the driven gear is rotatably arranged on the storage part and meshes with the driving gear, and the rack part meshes with the driven gear.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover plate swings to drive the hinge shaft to rotate, and then drives the driving rod to slide through the driving gear, the driven gear and the rack part, thereby compressing the volume of the air chamber and inflating or sucking air into the airbag.

[0017] Preferably, the airbag includes a fixing part and an elastic bag body. The fixing part is fixed on the side wall of the cup holder part, the elastic bag body is fixed on the fixing part, and the pipeline is communicated with the elastic bag body.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the air cylinder inflates the elastic bag body through the pipeline to adjust the size of the elastic bag body, and the fixing part facilitates the installation of the airbag.

[0019] Preferably, the elastic bag body is strip-shaped and distributed along the front-back direction of the cup holder part, and the cross-section of the elastic bag body is L-shaped.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic bag body is strip-shaped, which can effectively reduce the distance. The cross-section of the elastic bag body is L-shaped, which can form a wrapping support for the passengers and improve the passenger experience.

[0021] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. When the cover plate is closed, the airbag expands to fill the gap between the cup holder part and the seat, reducing the risk of impurities falling in the vehicle and being difficult to clean, improving the vehicle interior environment and enhancing the passenger comfort; when the cover plate is opened, the airbag contracts, reducing the risk of inconvenience in taking items caused by the airbag wrapping the passengers and improving the passenger use convenience.
