[0036] In the related art, an armrest structure is usually provided on the passenger dashboard of a vehicle to provide a placement position for the elbows of the driver or passengers, relieve fatigue, and improve the comfort of driving and riding. However, the inventor of the present utility model has realized that since the existing armrest structure on the passenger dashboard is usually fixed, the support range of the armrest structure on the passenger dashboard is limited, and sometimes effective support cannot be achieved, affecting the use comfort. For example, when the driver is relatively thin and small, the seat usually needs to be moved forward as a whole to a suitable position. At this time, since the seat moves forward relative to the armrest on the passenger dashboard, it may cause the driver's elbow to be unable to support on the armrest on the passenger dashboard or the supported area is small, resulting in inconvenience during use and poor comfort.

[0037] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned related art, the present utility model provides an armrest structure for a passenger dashboard and a vehicle.

[0038] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an armrest structure for a passenger dashboard provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes:

[0039] A passenger dashboard 1, including a passenger dashboard body 12 and an armrest cover 11 provided on the passenger dashboard body 12;

[0040] And an auxiliary armrest 2, including an armrest skeleton 21, the armrest skeleton 21 is movably arranged on the passenger dashboard body 12 and is located on the side of the armrest cover 11 facing the front of the vehicle. Wherein, the front direction of the vehicle is Figure 1 the positive direction of the X-axis in

[0041] Specifically, the lower instrument panel 1 is usually arranged between the driver's seat and the co-driver's seat, and mainly includes a lower instrument panel body 12 and an armrest cover 11. The armrest cover 11 is usually rotatably arranged at the upper end of the lower instrument panel body 12 (i.e., one end of the lower instrument panel body 12 in the positive direction of the Z-axis in Figure 1 ), and covers the storage space of the lower instrument panel body 12. The auxiliary armrest 2 is arranged on the lower instrument panel body 12 and is located on the side of the armrest cover 11 facing the front of the vehicle (i.e., the front side of the armrest cover 11). Moreover, in order to avoid the setting of the auxiliary armrest 2 affecting the use of other components on the lower instrument panel 1, it is usually designed to be relatively small. The auxiliary armrest 2 mainly includes an armrest skeleton 21. The armrest skeleton 21 is usually movably arranged on the lower instrument panel body 12. Moreover, the armrest skeleton 21 can move on the lower instrument panel body 12 along, for example, the front-back direction (i.e., the Figure 1 X-axis direction in Figure 1 ) and / or the left-right direction (i.e., the Figure 1 Y-axis direction in

[0042] ). The armrest cover 11 and the auxiliary armrest 2 together serve as the lower instrument panel armrest. Among them, the armrest cover 11 is the original armrest structure on the lower instrument panel 1 and is also the more commonly used armrest structure, while the auxiliary armrest 2 is an additional armrest structure on the lower instrument panel 1, which can expand the support area of the lower instrument panel armrest in the front-back direction of the vehicle. Among them, the front-back direction of the vehicle is the Figure 1 X-axis direction in

[0043] When the auxiliary armrest 2 can move in the left-right direction, the auxiliary armrest 2 can be moved to the left to make the auxiliary armrest 2 close to the arm of the user on the driver's side, which is convenient for the user on the driver's side to use, or the auxiliary armrest 2 can be moved to the right to make the auxiliary armrest 2 close to the arm of the user on the co-driver's side, which is convenient for the user on the co-driver's side to use; when the auxiliary armrest 2 can move in the front-back direction, the auxiliary armrest 2 can be moved forward or backward to adjust the support position of the auxiliary armrest 2 so that the support position of the auxiliary armrest 2 better meets the use requirements of the user on the driver's side or the co-driver's side.In the armrest structure of the co-driver instrument panel in this embodiment, an auxiliary armrest 2 can be provided on the co-driver instrument panel body 12, and the auxiliary armrest 2 is located on the side of the armrest cover 11 facing the front of the vehicle, so as to expand the support area of the co-driver instrument panel armrest in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, enabling the co-driver instrument panel armrest to support not only the user's elbow but also the user's forearm. Moreover, for example, a user with a slender build can use the auxiliary armrest 2 to support their elbow after the seat is moved forward, thereby improving the comfort when using the co-driver instrument panel armrest. At the same time, by movably arranging the armrest skeleton 21 of the auxiliary armrest 2 on the co-driver instrument panel body 12, it is convenient for the user to adjust the support position of the auxiliary armrest 2 according to their own conditions and needs. For example, move the auxiliary armrest 2 forward and backward to adjust the support area of the auxiliary armrest 2 for the user's elbow or forearm, or move the auxiliary armrest 2 left and right to make the support position of the auxiliary armrest 2 closer to the user on the driver's side or the co-driver's side, thereby improving the convenience when using the co-driver instrument panel armrest.

[0044] Optionally, in combination with Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the co-driver instrument panel body 12 is provided with a first sliding groove 121, and the armrest skeleton 21 is provided with a sliding block 213, and the sliding block 213 is in sliding fit with the first sliding groove 121.

[0045] In this optional embodiment, the sliding block 213 is usually arranged at the lower end of the armrest skeleton 21, and the sliding block 213 and the armrest skeleton 21 can be connected by welding or integral molding. The first sliding groove 121 is usually arranged on the upper end surface of the co-driver instrument panel body 12, and moreover, the first sliding groove 121 is usually formed by a partial depression on the upper end surface of the co-driver instrument panel body 12. The first sliding groove 121 can be a straight groove structure extending in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction, or a curved groove structure composed of a transverse groove (i.e., a groove extending in the left-right direction) and a longitudinal groove (i.e., a groove extending in the front-rear direction) connected together, as Figure 5 shown. At this time, the auxiliary armrest 2 can move both forward and backward and left and right. In practical applications, it can be selected and designed according to needs, and no specific limitation is made here. In this way, using the method of setting the first sliding groove 121 and the sliding block 213 to realize the movement of the auxiliary armrest 2 on the co-driver instrument panel body 12 not only has a simple structure and is easy to process and manufacture, but also, compared with setting a slide rail on the co-driver instrument panel body 12 and using the sliding block 213 to slide with the slide rail to realize the movement of the auxiliary armrest 2, it can avoid the need to reserve additional layout space for the slide rail, thereby reducing the space occupation and facilitating the layout.

[0046] Optionally, in combination with Figures 3 to 5As shown, the lower instrument panel 1 further includes a cup holder panel 13 provided on the lower instrument panel body 12. The slider 213 includes a connecting portion 2131 and a sliding portion 2132. The sliding portion 2132 is located between the lower instrument panel body 12 and the cup holder panel 13 and is in sliding fit with the first chute 121. One end of the connecting portion 2131 is connected to the armrest frame 21, and the other end extends between the lower instrument panel body 12 and the cup holder panel 13 and is connected to the sliding portion 2132.

[0047] In this alternative embodiment, the cup holder panel 13 is usually provided at the upper end of the lower instrument panel body 12 and is located on the front side of the armrest cover 11. The connecting portion 2131 and the sliding portion 2132 of the slider 213 are usually integrally formed. Among them, the connecting portion 2131 is usually in an L-shaped structure, and the sliding portion 2132 is usually in a columnar structure arranged vertically and is located between the lower instrument panel body 12 and the cup holder panel 13. The vertical section of the connecting portion 2131 is connected to the armrest frame 21, and the horizontal section of the connecting portion 2131 extends between the lower instrument panel body 12 and the cup holder panel 13 and is connected to the sliding portion 2132. The sliding portion 2132 is in sliding fit with the first chute 121. At this time, both the sliding portion 2132 and the first chute 121 are located below the cup holder panel 13 and are covered by the cup holder panel 13, which can not only prevent dust from falling into the first chute 121, but also ensure the neatness and beauty of the appearance of the lower instrument panel armrest structure. In addition, by providing a connecting portion 2131 between the sliding portion 2132 and the armrest frame 21 and extending the end of the connecting portion 2131 away from the armrest frame 21 between the lower instrument panel body 12 and the cup holder panel 13 and connecting it to the sliding portion 2132, a gap is formed between the armrest frame 21 and the sliding portion 2132. This gap can avoid the cup holder panel 13 on the lower instrument panel 1 when the slider 213 slides along the first chute 121 and prevent the slider 213 from interfering with the cup holder panel 13.

[0048] Furthermore, in combination with Figure 3 As shown, there are two sliders 213, and the locking mechanism 22 is located between the two sliders 213. In this way, using the two sliders 213 to support the auxiliary armrest 2 can ensure the stability of the movement of the auxiliary armrest 2 and make it more convenient to use. At the same time, placing the locking mechanism 22 between the two sliders 213 makes the overall structure of the auxiliary armrest 2 more compact, thus facilitating layout and being beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the locking and unlocking operations of the locking mechanism 22.

[0049] Furthermore, in combination with Figure 7 As shown, the auxiliary armrest 2 further includes a leather layer 23 and a sponge layer 24. The leather layer 23 is coated on the sponge layer 24, and the sponge layer 24 is bonded to the armrest frame 21. In this way, by providing the leather layer 23 and the sponge layer 24 on the armrest frame 21, the comfort of using the auxiliary armrest 2 can be further improved.

[0050] Optionally, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, on one side of the cup holder panel 13 facing the main instrument panel body 12, a second sliding groove 131 is provided. The second sliding groove 131 corresponds to the position of the first sliding groove 121 and has opposite slot openings. The slider 213 is also slidably engaged with the second sliding groove 131.

[0051] In this optional embodiment, the second sliding groove 131 is generally arranged along the edge of the cup holder panel 13, and the arrangement position of the second sliding groove 131 corresponds to that of the first sliding groove 121, and their shapes also match. For example, if the first sliding groove 121 is a horizontal groove, then the second sliding groove 131 is also a horizontal groove; if the first sliding groove 121 is a U-shaped groove, then the second sliding groove 131 is also a U-shaped groove. The first sliding groove 121 is generally arranged on the upper end face of the main instrument panel body, and its slot opening is generally upward; the second sliding groove 131 is generally arranged on the lower end face of the cup holder panel 13, and its slot opening is generally downward. Moreover, the upper end of the sliding part 2132 of the slider 213 is inserted into the second sliding groove 131, and the lower end of the sliding part 2132 is inserted into the first sliding groove 121. In this way, when the main instrument panel 1 is provided with the cup holder panel 13, by providing the second sliding groove 131 matching the first sliding groove 121 on the cup holder panel 13 and making the slider 213 slidably arranged in the first sliding groove 121 and the second sliding groove 131, it is convenient to use the bottom walls of the first sliding groove 121 and the second sliding groove 131 (i.e., the groove walls opposite to the slot openings) to limit the slider 213 up and down, reducing the risk of the slider 213 disengaging from the first sliding groove 121, thereby further ensuring the stability of the movement of the auxiliary armrest 2.

[0052] Optionally, in combination with Figure 5 As shown, the first sliding groove 121 includes a first groove section 1211, a second groove section 1212, and a third groove section 1213 that are sequentially connected end to end. The first groove section 1211 and the third groove section 1213 extend in a direction perpendicular to the second groove section 1212 and are located on the side of the second groove section 1212 away from the armrest cover 11.

[0053] In this optional embodiment, the second slot section 1212 generally extends in the left-right direction, while the first slot section 1211 and the third slot section 1213 generally extend in the front-back direction and are located at the left and right ends of the second slot section 1212, respectively, so that the first chute 121 has a generally U-shaped slot structure. Furthermore, the second slot section 1212 is generally located at the rear side of the cup holder panel 13, while the first slot section 1211 and the third slot section 1213 are generally located at the left and right sides of the cup holder panel 13, respectively. Since the auxiliary armrest 2 can move in the first, second, and third slot sections 1211, 1212, and 1213, the first, second, and third slot sections 1211, 1212, and 1213 can be referred to as the first, second, and third adjustment positions, respectively. The auxiliary armrest 2 can move in the front-back direction in the first and third adjustment positions, and can move in the left-right direction in the second adjustment position. When the auxiliary armrest 2 moves from the second adjustment position to the first adjustment position or the third adjustment position, the auxiliary armrest 2 can rotate so that its length direction changes from parallel to the left and right direction to parallel to the front and back direction, so that the auxiliary armrest 2 located at the first adjustment position or the third adjustment position is arranged longitudinally; when the auxiliary armrest 2 moves from the first adjustment position or the third adjustment position to the second adjustment position, the auxiliary armrest 2 can rotate so that its length direction changes from parallel to the front and back direction to parallel to the left and right direction, so that the auxiliary armrest 2 located at the second adjustment position is arranged horizontally. In this way, when the auxiliary armrest 2 moves to the first slot section 1211, it is convenient for the user on the driver's side to adjust the support position of the auxiliary armrest 2 forward and backward according to his or her own adjustments and needs. When the auxiliary armrest 2 moves to the third slot section 1213, it is convenient for the user on the co-pilot side to adjust the support position of the auxiliary armrest 2 forward and backward according to his or her own adjustments and needs. When the auxiliary armrest 2 moves to the second slot section 1212, the auxiliary armrest 2 can be moved left and right to facilitate the user on the driver's side or the co-pilot side to use the auxiliary armrest 2, making the application range of the auxiliary armrest 2 wider, thereby being able to meet the usage needs of different users.

[0054] In addition, the auxiliary armrest 2 slides along the first sliding groove 121 of the generally U-shaped groove structure, and its movement path is also generally U-shaped. In this way, the auxiliary armrest 2 can move along the edge of the cup holder panel 13 to avoid the cup holder structure on the cup holder panel 13 without affecting the placement of items on the cup holder panel 13.

[0055] Optionally, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary armrest 2 further includes a locking mechanism 22 , which is disposed between the armrest frame 21 and the auxiliary instrument panel 1 and is used to unlock or lock the armrest frame 21 .

[0056] In this alternative embodiment, the locking mechanism 22 can be disposed between the armrest skeleton 21 and the main instrument panel body 12 of the main instrument panel 1, or can be disposed between the armrest skeleton 21 and the cup holder panel 13 of the main instrument panel 1, and no specific limitation is made here. When the locking mechanism 22 unlocks the armrest skeleton 21, the armrest skeleton 21 can move in the front-back direction and / or the left-right direction on the main instrument panel body 12, and moreover, the locking mechanism 22 also moves together with the armrest skeleton 21; when the armrest skeleton 21 moves to the desired position, the locking mechanism 22 can be used to lock the armrest skeleton 21 to fix the auxiliary armrest 2 at the current position.

[0057] In this way, by setting the locking mechanism 22 to unlock or lock the armrest skeleton 21, it is convenient for the user to adjust the support position when the auxiliary armrest 2 is unlocked, and it can be fixed at the current support position by the locking mechanism 22 after being adjusted to the desired position, preventing the auxiliary armrest 2 from shaking during vehicle driving, thereby improving the stability of the auxiliary armrest 2 during support.

[0058] Optionally, as shown in combination with Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the locking mechanism 22 includes a button body 221 and an elastic reset member 222. The button body 221 is disposed inside the armrest skeleton 21. The pressing end and the locking end of the button body 221 respectively extend outside the armrest skeleton 21, and the locking end of the button body 221 is used for plugging and mating with the main instrument panel 1 to lock the auxiliary armrest 2. The elastic reset member 222 is disposed inside the armrest skeleton 21, and both ends of the elastic reset member 222 are respectively connected to the button body 221 and the armrest skeleton 21.

[0059] In this alternative embodiment, the pressing end and the locking end of the button body 221 respectively extend outside the armrest skeleton 21 to facilitate releasing the plugging and mating between the locking end of the button body 221 and the main instrument panel 1 by pressing the pressing end of the button body 221 outside the armrest skeleton 21, thereby realizing the unlocking of the auxiliary armrest 2. The elastic reset member 222 is usually a spring, and both ends thereof are respectively connected to the button body 221 and the armrest skeleton 21. When the button body 221 is released, the button body 221 can automatically reset under the action of the elastic reset member 222, so that the locking end of the button body 221 forms a plugging and mating with the main instrument panel 1, thereby realizing the locking of the auxiliary armrest 2.

[0060] Furthermore, as shown in combination with Figures 8 to 10As shown, the button body 221 includes an integrally connected pressing portion 2211 and a locking portion 2212. The armrest frame 21 is provided with a first through-hole 217 and a second through-hole 218. The pressing portion 2211 extends horizontally through the first through-hole 217 and extends out of the armrest frame 21, while the locking portion 2212 extends downward through the second through-hole 218 and extends out of the armrest frame 21. This facilitates assembly between the button body 221 and the armrest frame 21. The pressing portion 2211 is typically horizontally disposed, while the locking portion 2212 is typically L-shaped, resulting in the button body 221 generally forming a "匚"-shaped structure, with the opening of the "匚"-shaped structure facing the cup holder panel 13. Furthermore, the end of the pressing portion 2211 distal from the locking portion 2212 serves as the pressing end of the button body 221, while the end of the locking portion 2212 distal from the pressing portion 2211 serves as the locking end of the button body 221.

[0061] Optionally, combined Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the auxiliary instrument panel 1 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 132 , which are spaced apart along the moving direction of the armrest frame 21 , and the locking end of the button body 221 is used to be plugged into and matched with any one of the plurality of fixing holes 132 .

[0062] In this optional embodiment, multiple fixing holes 132 are typically provided on the cup holder panel 13 of the auxiliary instrument panel 1. When the first slide groove 121 includes a first groove section 1211, a second groove section 1212, and a third groove section 1213, at least one fixing hole 132 can be provided on the cup holder panel 13 at a position corresponding to the first groove section 1211, the second groove section 1212, or the third groove section 1213, so that the auxiliary armrest 2 can be locked at three adjustment positions by plugging the locking end of the button body 221 into one of the fixing holes 132. When the first slide groove 121 is a transverse groove or a longitudinal groove, multiple fixing holes 132 can be provided on the cup holder panel 13 at positions corresponding to the first slide groove 121, so that the auxiliary armrest 2 can have multiple fixed points at corresponding adjustment positions. In this way, the provision of fixing holes 132 to plug and mate with the locking end of the button body 221 to achieve locking of the auxiliary armrest 2 has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0063] Optionally, combined Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the button body 221 is provided with a guide post 2213 , one end of the elastic return member 222 is sleeved outside the guide post 2213 , and the other end is in contact with the armrest frame 21 .

[0064] In this optional embodiment, the guide column 2213 is usually extended along the pressing direction of the button body 221. In this way, it is convenient to use the guide column 2213 to guide the pressing movement of the button body 221 when pressing the button body 221, thereby ensuring that the locking part 2212 of the button body 221 can be accurately inserted into or disengaged from the fixing hole 132, thereby achieving unlocking or locking.

[0065] Optionally, combined Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a limiting buckle 215 is provided in the armrest frame 21, and the limiting buckle 215 engages with the button body 221 to limit the button body 221 in a pressing direction perpendicular to the button body 221. In this way, the limiting buckle 215 is used to engage and limit the button body 221, thereby improving the accuracy and convenience of the installation of the button body 221.

[0066] Further, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the position-limiting buckle 215 includes a first claw and a second claw that are arranged opposite each other and spaced apart. The gap between the first claw and the second claw forms a slot, and the button body 221 is engaged and movable within the slot. Specifically, taking the example of pressing the button body 221 along its length, since the claw generally includes an arm portion and a claw portion that are interconnected, based on this structural feature, the two claws are engaged with the two ends of the button body 221 in the width direction, thereby simultaneously limiting the button body 221 in both the width direction and the height direction. Furthermore, the use of two claws to limit the button body 221 in the position is simple in structure and easy to manufacture.

[0067] Further, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the armrest frame 21 includes an upper armrest frame 211 and a lower armrest frame 212. The upper armrest frame 211 is covered on the lower armrest frame 212. The lower armrest frame 212 is provided with a receiving cavity 214. The button body 221 and the elastic return member 222 are located in the receiving cavity 214. The position-limiting buckle 215 is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 214. In this way, by designing the armrest frame 21 as a split structure, it is convenient to carry out segmented production. At the same time, it is also convenient to assemble the upper armrest frame 211 and the lower armrest frame 212 with other structures and then assemble them into the armrest frame 21, thereby improving production efficiency. In addition, by providing the receiving cavity 214 on the lower armrest frame 212, a space for installing the locking mechanism 22 is provided. At the same time, the armrest frame 21 can also be used to protect the locking mechanism 22.

[0068] Further, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, a convex structure 216 is provided on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 214, and the convex structure 216 is used to abut against the lower end surface of the pressing portion 2211 of the button body 221. Among them, the convex structure 216 can be a convex point or a convex strip, etc., and usually there are multiple. In this way, by providing the convex structure 216, the contact area between the pressing portion 2211 of the button body 221 and the lower skeleton 212 of the armrest is reduced, thereby reducing the frictional resistance, and further reducing the force when pressing the button body 221, improving the convenience of use.
