[0042] like Figure 1-13As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a double-sided armrest is provided, comprising a base 100, a support arm 200, a cover plate 300, a rotation mechanism 400, and two unlocking mechanisms 500. The base 100 is mounted on a passenger instrument panel (not shown in the figures) and defines an opening 101. The left side of the opening 101 is designated as a first side 102 (i.e., the side closest to the driver's seat), and the right side of the opening 101 is designated as a second side 103 (i.e., the side closest to the passenger seat). The support arm 200 is rotatably mounted on the base 100 and has a first rotation axis close to the second side 103, about which the support arm 200 is rotatable. The rotation mechanism 400 has a second rotation axis close to the first side 102 and a third rotation axis close to the second side 103, the third rotation axis coinciding with the first rotation axis. The rotation mechanism 400 is used to connect the cover plate 300 to the base 100 and the support arm 200 and to rotate the cover plate 300 about either the second or third rotation axis.

[0043] One unlocking mechanism 500 is located near the first side 102 and is used to release or restore the connection between the rotating mechanism 400 and the base 100 on the first side 102. The other unlocking mechanism 500 is located near the second side 103 and is used to release or restore the connection between the rotating mechanism 400 and the base 100 and the support arm 200 on the second side 103. When the unlocking mechanism 500 releases the connection between the rotating mechanism 400 and the base 100 on the first side 102, the cover 300 and the support arm 200 can rotate about the third rotation axis and the first rotation axis. When the unlocking mechanism 500 releases the connection between the rotating mechanism 400 and the base 100 and the support arm 200 on the second side 103, the cover 300 can rotate about the second rotation axis.

[0044] The present embodiment discloses a double-sided armrest, which is designed to cooperate with the rotation mechanism 400 by designing two unlocking mechanisms 500 respectively. The passenger in the main driver's seat or the co-driver's seat can rotate the cover plate 300 around the second rotation axis or the third rotation axis to expose the opening 101 by operating the unlocking mechanism 500 on the corresponding side, thereby facilitating the passenger to take and put items in the armrest box, thereby improving the convenience of using the armrest. Since the main driver's side opens the cover plate 300 more times, the support arm 200 is designed to connect the cover plate 300. The first rotation axis of the support arm 200 coincides with the third rotation axis. The support arm 200 is always connected to the base 100. When the main driver's side opens the cover plate 300, the cover plate 300 and the support arm 200 will rotate around the third rotation axis. In this way, the support arm 200 can provide more stable support for the cover plate 300, thereby improving the stability of the cover plate 300.

[0045] In one embodiment, the front side of the opening 101 is designated as the third side 104, and the rear side of the opening 101 is designated as the fourth side 105. A first boss 106 and two second bosses 107 are integrally formed on the base 100. The first boss 106 is located near the fourth side 105. A first insertion hole 108 is provided on the first boss 106, and the first insertion hole 108 is located near the first side 102. The two second bosses 107 are located near the third side 104. A second insertion hole 109 is provided on the second boss 107, and the two insertion holes are located near the first side 102 and the second side 103, respectively. The bottom of the cover 300 is provided with a first groove 301 for accommodating the first boss 106, and a second groove 302 for accommodating the second bosses 107.

[0046] The support arm 200 has a slot 201 located near the first rotation axis. The rotation mechanism 400 includes a first rod 401, a second rod 402, two third rods 403, and two first rotating shafts 404. The first rod 401 is located near the first side 102 and inserted into the first insertion hole 108. The second rod 402 is located near the second side 103 and inserted into the slot 201. The two third rods 403 are located near the first side 102 and the second side 103, respectively, and are inserted into the second insertion holes 109 on the corresponding side.

[0047] Two first rotating shafts 404 are located near the first side 102 and the second side 103, respectively. One of the first rotating shafts 404 is connected to the first rod 401 and the third rod 403 on the corresponding side, while the other first rotating shaft 404 is connected to the second rod 402 and the third rod 403 on the corresponding side. The unlocking mechanism 500 is used to drive the corresponding first rotating shaft 404 to rotate, so that the rotation of the first rotating shaft 404 causes the first rod 401 and the third rod 403 on the corresponding side to move closer to or farther from each other. Alternatively, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 404 causes the second rod 402 and the third rod 403 on the corresponding side to move closer to or farther from each other.

[0048] A first guide groove 405 and a second guide groove 406 are formed on the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 404. The first guide groove 405 and the second guide groove 406 extend spirally along the axis of the first rotating shaft 404. One end of the first rod 401 is bent to form a first connecting portion 407, one end of the second rod 402 is bent to form a second connecting portion, and one end of the third rod 403 is bent to form a third connecting portion 408. The first connecting portion 407 or the second connecting portion cooperates with the first guide groove 405, and the third connecting portion 408 cooperates with the second guide groove 406.

[0049] Take the example of opening the cover 300 on the driver's side:

[0050] When the passenger on the driver's side operates the unlocking mechanism 500 on the first side 102, the unlocking mechanism 500 drives the corresponding first rotating shaft 404 to rotate. As the first rotating shaft 404 rotates, the first guide groove 405 drives the first connecting portion 407 to move the first rod 401 toward the first rotating shaft 404. The second guide groove 406 also simultaneously drives the third connecting portion 408 to move the third rod 403 toward the first rotating shaft 404. This causes the first rod 401 and the corresponding third rod 403 to move closer to each other, causing the first rod 401 to exit the first insertion hole 108 and the third rod 403 to exit the second insertion hole 109. This releases the unlocking mechanism 500 from the connection between the rotating mechanism 400 and the base 100 on the first side 102, allowing the cover 300 and the support arm 200 to rotate about the third rotation axis and the first rotation axis, thereby opening the cover 300 from the driver's side.

[0051] When the driver or passenger closes the cover 300, the unlocking mechanism 500 drives the corresponding first rotating shaft 404 to rotate and reset. The first guide groove 405 drives the first connecting portion 407 to move the first rod 401 away from the first rotating shaft 404. The second guide groove 406 also drives the third connecting portion 408 to move the third rod 403 away from the first rotating shaft 404. This causes the first rod 401 and the third rod 403 on the corresponding side to move away from each other, allowing the first rod 401 to be reinserted into the first receptacle 108 and the third rod 403 to be reinserted into the second receptacle 109. In this way, the unlocking mechanism 500 restores the connection between the rotating mechanism 400 and the base 100 on the first side 102, thereby locking the cover 300. The principle of opening the cover 300 on the passenger side is similar to the above principle and will not be repeated here.

[0052] In one embodiment, the rotation mechanism 400 further includes an insert 409, which slides within the cover 300 and is proximate to the second side 103. The insert 409 is connected to the second rod 402 and engages with the slot 201. A sleeve 202 is provided through the support arm 200, proximate to the first side 102, and the first rod 401 is movably inserted within the sleeve 202. The support arm 200 is mounted on the first boss 106 via a mounting base 203. The mounting base 203 is provided with a pin, on which the support arm 200 rotatably engages. A fourth return member 204 is provided on the pin to ensure the stability of the connection between the support arm 200 and the insert 409.

[0053] The design of the insert 409, which connects the second rod 402 to the support arm 200, enhances the stability of the connection between the second rod 402 and the support arm 200. When the cover 300 is opened from the driver's side (first side 102), the end of the first rod 401 retracts into the sleeve 202. However, at this time, the first rod 401 remains connected to the sleeve 202 on the support arm 200. Therefore, when the cover 300 rotates about the third rotation axis, the cover 300 also drives the support arm 200 to rotate synchronously. When the cover 300 is opened from the passenger side (second side 103), the insert 409 disengages from the support arm 200. Therefore, when the cover 300 rotates about the second rotation axis, the cover 300 does not drive the support arm 200 to rotate.

[0054] In one embodiment, the unlocking mechanism 500 includes a driving block 501, a first reset member 502, a transmission assembly, a limit assembly, and an unlocking member 508. The driving block 501 is movably disposed within the cover 300 and is located between the third side 104 and the second boss 107. The first reset member 502 is used to reset the first rotating shaft 404 after rotation. The transmission assembly is used to connect the driving block 501 to the first rotating shaft 404. The limit assembly is used to limit the driving block 501 after the driving block 501 drives the first rotating shaft 404 to rotate. The unlocking member 508 is disposed on the base 100 and is used to release the limit assembly from restricting the driving block 501.

[0055] The limiting assembly includes a limiting arm 503 and a second reset member 504. The limiting arm 503 is rotatably mounted within the cover plate 300 and is equipped with a limiting block 505 and a trigger post 506. The limiting block 505 rests on the driving block 501, which is provided with a notch 507 that mates with the limiting block 505. When a driving block 501 moves toward another driving block 501, the notch 507 aligns with the limiting block 505. The second reset member 504 is used to apply a spring force to the limiting arm 503, causing the limiting block 505 to align with the notch 507 and then snap into place. The limiting post extends outside the cover plate 300 and mates with an unlocking member 508, which pushes against the trigger post 506 to allow the limiting block 505 to exit the notch 507. The unlocking mechanism 500 further includes a button 517 and a third reset member 518 . The button 517 is movably disposed on the cover 300 and extends out of the first side 102 or the second side 103 . The third reset member 518 abuts against the button 517 and the driving block 501 , respectively.

[0056] The transmission assembly includes a second rotating shaft 509 and a third rotating shaft 510 rotatably mounted within the cover plate 300. A first gear 511 and a second gear 512 are respectively provided at both ends of the second rotating shaft 509, while a third gear 513 and a fourth gear 514 are respectively provided at both ends of the third rotating shaft 510. The driving block 501 is provided with a rack 515 that meshes with the first gear 511. The second gear 512 meshes with the third gear 513. A fifth gear 516 that meshes with the fourth gear 514 is provided on the first rotating shaft 404.

[0057] Let's take the example of opening the cover 300 on the driver's side:

[0058] When the passenger on the driver's side presses the button 517, the button 517 will push the driving block 501 to move toward the other driving block 501, and the rack 515 on the driving block 501 will engage with the first gear 511 of the second rotating shaft 509 for transmission, and the second gear 512 of the second rotating shaft 509 will engage with the third gear 513 of the third rotating shaft 510 for transmission, and the fourth gear 514 of the third rotating shaft 510 will engage with the fifth gear 516 of the first rotating shaft 404 for transmission. In this way, the first rotating shaft 404 is driven to rotate. At this time, the first reset member 502 mounted on the first rotating shaft 404 will continue to apply elastic force to the first rotating shaft 404. After the first rotating shaft 404 rotates, the first rod 401 and the third rod 403 on the corresponding side will move closer to each other, so that the first rod 401 will exit the first socket 108, and the third rod 403 will exit the second socket 109. In this way, the unlocking mechanism 500 releases the connection between the rotating mechanism 400 and the base 100 on the first side 102, and the cover 300 and the support arm 200 can rotate around the third rotation axis and the first rotation axis, so that the cover 300 is opened from the main driver's side.

[0059] During the movement of the driving block 501, when the limit block 505 is aligned with the notch 507, the second reset member 504 will drive the limit arm 503 to rotate, so that the limit block 505 is stuck in the notch 507. In this way, the limit block 505 will lock the driving block 501, making the driving block 501 unable to move.

[0060] When the driver or passenger closes the cover 300, the trigger post 506 abuts the unlocking member 508 on the base 100, which lifts the trigger post 506, allowing the stopper 505 to disengage from the notch 507. The first return member 502 drives the first rotating shaft 404 to rotate, which moves the first rod 401 and the corresponding third rod 403 away from each other, allowing the first rod 401 to reinsert into the first receptacle 108 and the third rod 403 to reinsert into the second receptacle 109. Simultaneously, the first rotating shaft 404 also drives the third rotating shaft 510, the second rotating shaft 509, and the drive block 501 to reset.
