[0030] The following describes the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the present utility model provides an armrest hinge device for an automotive passenger-side instrument panel with a hovering function, including: a connecting mechanism 1, a fixed seat 2, and a hinge mechanism 3. The fixed seat 2 is connected to the connecting mechanism 1, and the hinge mechanism 3 is connected to the connecting mechanism 1.

[0032] In Figures 1 to 3 In an alternative embodiment, the connecting mechanism 1 includes a nut 11, a rotating shaft 12, a screw nut 13, and a partition 14. One end of the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the nut 11, the other end of the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the screw nut 13, a partition 14 is arranged in the middle of the rotating shaft 12, a first elastic piece 15 is arranged on the inner side of the end face of the nut 11, a first gap 16 is formed between the first elastic piece 15 and the partition 14, a second elastic piece 17 is arranged on the inner side of the end face of the screw nut 13, and a second gap 18 is formed between the second elastic piece 17 and the partition 14.

[0033] Furthermore, the first elastic piece 15 is a wear-resistant elastic piece, the material of the first elastic piece 15 is POM material, and the second elastic piece 17 is an elastic sheet. The wear-resistant elastic piece can provide better friction and has a longer service life.

[0034] Specifically, the fixed seat 2 is installed in the second gap 18. The hinge mechanism 3 includes a rotating arm 31 and a fixing plate 32. The rotating arm 31 is connected to the fixing plate 32, and the rotating arm 31 is installed in the first gap 16.

[0035] Furthermore, straight knurling is arranged on the rotating shaft 12. The first elastic piece 15 and the second elastic piece 17 are in interference fit with the rotating shaft 12. The fixed seat 2 is in clearance fit with the rotating shaft 12, and the rotating arm 31 is in interference fit with the rotating shaft 12. The straight knurling can increase the friction between each component and the rotating shaft 12, enabling better cooperation between each component and the rotating shaft 12.

[0036] It should be noted that a first connection hole 21 is arranged on the fixed seat 2, and the first connection hole 21 is connected to the armrest body of the automotive passenger-side instrument panel by bolts. A second connection hole 33 is arranged on the hinge mechanism 3, and the second connection hole 33 is connected to the armrest cover of the automotive passenger-side instrument panel by bolts.

[0037] Furthermore, the nut 11, the rotating shaft 12, the screw nut 13, the partition 14, the first elastic piece 15, and the second elastic piece 17 are coaxial.

[0038] A hinge device for the armrest of the auxiliary instrument panel of an automobile with a hovering function according to the present utility model, the specific steps are as follows:

[0039] The bolt passes through the first connection hole 21 to connect the fixed seat 2 with the armrest body of the automobile auxiliary instrument panel. The bolt passes through the second connection hole 33 to connect the hinge mechanism 3 with the armrest cover of the automobile auxiliary instrument panel. The occupied structural space is small and the installation is convenient.

[0040] The hinge mechanism 3 is installed in the first gap 16, and the fixed seat 2 is installed in the second gap 18. When the experimenter opens the armrest cover of the automobile auxiliary instrument panel, the hinge mechanism 3 is driven and thus rotates in the connection mechanism 1. Since there is a second elastic piece 17 in the connection mechanism 1, and the second elastic piece 17 is a wear-resistant elastic piece, the wear-resistant elastic piece can generate a large frictional force. Therefore, under the action of the frictional force, hovering can be achieved, avoiding the hinge mechanism 3 directly driving the armrest cover to close until the user applies a force to the armrest cover, improving the user experience.

[0041] For the same or similar parts among the various embodiments in this specification, reference can be made to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0042] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
