Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hinge brackets for armrest boxes, and specifically to an upper hinge bracket for a sub-instrument panel armrest box. Background Art

[0002] The upper hinge bracket of the armrest box is one of the key components connecting the armrest box and the vehicle interior structure, mainly used to support the armrest box and allow it to open and close within a certain angle range. The hinge bracket is part of the hinge system, which is usually fixed at a specific position inside the vehicle, and the hinge is connected to the armrest box through this bracket. The armrest box hinge bracket usually has a damping piece or a torsion spring to keep the armrest box lid in the desired position without sliding by itself.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventor found the following problems: The elastic force of the torsion spring of the current armrest box hinge is usually fixed and cannot be adjusted. If the elastic force is too large, the resistance to closing the armrest box lid will be too large, while if the elastic force is small, the armrest box lid will not bounce up, which is not convenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, research and improvement are carried out on the existing structure and deficiencies, and an upper hinge bracket for a sub-instrument panel armrest box is provided, in order to achieve the purpose of having more practical value. Summary of the Invention
