Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of seat armrests, and particularly relates to a rotating mechanism for a seat armrest and the seat armrest. Background Art

[0002] A seat armrest refers to a configuration located on the side of a seat or between two seats. Its main function is to provide elbow support to increase riding comfort.

[0003] In the design and application of seat armrests, the rotation angle of the armrest has always been a key consideration. Traditional seat armrests often limit the rotation angle of the armrest to ensure safety. Although this restriction reduces the possibility of armrest instability or detachment to a certain extent, it also brings obvious disadvantages. The excessive angle restriction makes the armrest severely inflexible in different usage scenarios and user needs. For example, when the user needs to lean on the armrest in various postures or positions, the limited rotation angle cannot provide comfortable and effective support. This not only affects the user experience, but also limits the functionality and applicability of the seat armrest.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to design a seat armrest rotation mechanism and a seat armrest. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a rotating mechanism for a seat armrest and a seat armrest, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the angle of the seat armrest needs to be adjusted, the user can rotate the support plate 1 relative to the disc 2 and the rotating seat 3. During the rotation process, each C-shaped portion 103 will squeeze the first positioning ball screw 4 in turn, and when the support plate 1 stops rotating, it will be stuck in the current C-shaped portion 103, thereby realizing a 360° rotation positioning function to lock the support plate 1 at different angles to meet the different usage needs of users.

[0053] A special-shaped recess 202 is provided at the bottom of the first protrusion 201; a special-shaped protrusion 301 is provided at the top of the rotating seat 3; the special-shaped protrusion 301 is adapted to the special-shaped recess 202; and the special-shaped protrusion 301 is suitable for being inserted into the special-shaped recess 202; the adaptation design of the special-shaped recess 202 and the special-shaped protrusion 301 ensures a firm connection between the disc 2 and the rotating seat 3, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability.

[0054] A threaded hole 302 is provided at the top of the special-shaped protrusion 301; a through hole 203 is provided in the middle of the disc 2; the rotating seat 3 and the disc 2 are suitable for being connected by bolts; and the bolts are suitable for passing through the through hole 203 and then engaging with the threaded hole 302; the rotating seat 3 and the disc 2 are connected by bolts, which greatly enhances the connection strength between them.

[0055] At least two hemispherical recesses 104 are provided in the first recess 101; wherein the two hemispherical recesses 104 are equidistantly arranged around the first through portion 102; at least two second positioning ball screws 5 are embedded in the bottom of the disc 2; wherein the two second positioning ball screws 5 are equidistantly arranged around the through hole 203; when the support plate 1 is rotated to a specified angle, the two second positioning ball screws 5 are snapped into the corresponding hemispherical recesses 104; wherein, by providing the hemispherical recesses 104 and the second positioning ball screws 5, it is achieved that when rotating to a certain angle, the second positioning ball screw 5 is snapped into the hemispherical recess 104 (when not snapped into the hemispherical recess 104, it is offset against the first recess 101) to enhance the rotation resistance and remind the user of the current rotation angle of the support plate 1 (the support plate 1 is perpendicular to the backrest). If the angle of the support plate 1 needs to be adjusted again, the user can slide the second positioning ball screw 5 in the hemispherical recess 104 to the first recess 101 by applying a slight force.

[0056] An armrest base 6 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 1 ; a long through portion 601 is provided in the middle of the armrest base 6 ; and the special-shaped protrusion 301 is adapted to pass through the long through portion 601 and then be inserted into the special-shaped recess 202 .
