[0036] In this disclosure, it should be noted that the terms used, such as "first" and "second", are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have order or importance. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same elements.

[0037] It should also be noted that, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "connected," "connected," and "installed" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; and they may refer to direct connections or indirect connections via an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure based on specific circumstances.

[0038] This application provides an installation auxiliary tool 100, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the installation of the central control console and armrest assembly 210 in the vehicle includes a first support portion 10, a first arm 20, a second support portion 30, a second arm 40 and a push-down handle 50. The first support portion 10 is connected to one end of the first arm 20, and the other end of the first arm 20 is rotatably connected to one end of the push-down handle 50. The first support portion 10 is suitable for abutting against the seat 220 in the vehicle. The second support portion 30 is connected to one end of the second arm 40, and the other end of the second arm 40 is rotatably connected to the other end of the push-down handle 50. The second support portion 30 is suitable for abutting against the armrest assembly.

[0039] Through the above technical solution, a first support portion 10 and a second support portion 30 are provided, and the first support portion 10 is abutted against the seat 220 in the vehicle. Since the seat 220 is installed on the vehicle and has a fixed position, when the second support portion is supported on the seat 220, it is equivalent to fixing the position of the first support portion 10. Then, when abutting against the second support portion 30 and the armrest assembly, since the position of the first support portion 10 is fixed, the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 30 are both connected to the pressing handle 50. Therefore, in the process of the second support portion 30 abutting against the armrest assembly, the armrest assembly will be pushed toward a position away from the seat 220, that is, pushed toward the front end of the vehicle body. Such a setting is conducive to tightening the central operating console and the armrest assembly 210, reducing the gap between the central operating console and the armrest assembly 210, and improving the installation tightness between the central operating console, the armrest assembly 210 and the instrument panel.

[0040] Among them, the seat 220 of the car can be a rear seat 220 that provides a support point for the installation auxiliary tool 100. The central operating console in the vehicle can be an area located between the driver and the co-driver's seat, which usually includes a variety of functions and control devices. The central operating console can provide convenient operation and storage space to enhance the driving and riding experience. The armrest assembly 210 is mainly used to provide support for the driver and passenger's arms to increase riding comfort. The central operating console and the armrest assembly can be integrated into an integrated arrangement. The installation auxiliary tool 100 can be used to push the central operating console and the armrest assembly 210 toward the dashboard to complete the installation of the central operating console and the armrest assembly 210, and improve the installation tightness between the central operating console, the armrest assembly 210 and the dashboard.

[0041] In this disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, the interior of the push handle 50 can be formed into a cylindrical structure having a hollow portion 51. A first rotating shaft 52 and a second rotating shaft 53 are respectively disposed within the hollow portion 51. A first connecting hole 21 is provided on the first arm 20, which is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 52, allowing the first arm 20 to rotate along the axis of the first rotating shaft 52. A second connecting hole 41 is provided on the second arm 40, which is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 53, allowing the second arm 40 to rotate along the axis of the second rotating shaft 53. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the first rotating shaft 52 and the second rotating shaft 53. Furthermore, by disposing the first rotating shaft 52 and the second rotating shaft 53 within the hollow portion 51, the first rotating shaft 52 and the second rotating shaft 53 and their adjacent components are protected from damage, thereby increasing their service life.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first arm 20 and the second arm 40 are rotatably connected in the hollow portion 51, and the side walls of the hollow portion 51 can also limit the ends of the first arm 20 and the second arm 40 to prevent them from rotating at too large an angle and causing injury to the operator.

[0043] In this disclosure, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a return spring 60 can be disposed within the push-down handle 50. A first connection point 22 is disposed on the first arm 20, located between the middle portion of the first arm 20 and the first connection hole 21. A second connection point 42 is disposed on the second arm 40, located between the middle portion of the second arm 40 and the second connection hole 41. The return spring 60 is connected at both ends to the first connection point 22 and the second connection point 42. The return spring 60 is configured to provide a force that causes the first and second arms 20, 40 to rotate toward each other. This arrangement facilitates storage of the installation assisting tool 100. Specifically, when the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 30 come into contact, the return spring 60 stretches, exerting a contraction force that pulls the first and second arms 20, 40 toward each other. When the installation assisting tool 100 is to be removed, this contraction force assists in contracting the first and second arms 20, 40 toward each other, making it easier for the operator to remove the installation assisting tool 100.

[0044] Among them, the return spring 60 can be in a stretched state or a free state when installed between the first arm 20 and the second arm 40. In this state, when the installation auxiliary tool 100 is installed between the seat 220 and the armrest assembly 210, the return spring 60 is stretched. When the installation auxiliary tool 100 is removed from between the seat 220 and the armrest assembly 210, the return spring 60 contracts and resets.

[0045] In this disclosure, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first support portion 10 can be cylindrical and fixedly connected to the first arm 20. This configuration facilitates the connection between the first support portion 10 and the seat 220, as the cylinder can be adapted to contact and abut against a variety of surfaces. Furthermore, the cylindrical structure facilitates rolling adjustment of the installation aid 100.

[0046] In this disclosure, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second support portion 30 may have at least one connecting surface 31, which is suitable for abutting the armrest assembly 210. This configuration can ensure the stability of the abutment between the second support portion 30 and the armrest assembly 210, that is, it can ensure that the force applied to the armrest assembly 210 is uniform, which in turn facilitates the tight connection between the armrest assembly 210 and the central console and the instrument panel.

[0047] In this disclosure, Figures 1 to 4As shown, the second support portion 30 may include a support body 32 and a connecting portion 33. The support body 32 and the connecting portion 33 are fixedly connected, and the connecting portion 33 is rotatably connected to the second arm 40. This arrangement facilitates adjustment of the second support portion 30. In the confined space inside the vehicle, this arrangement allows the second support portion 30 to adjust its relative position to the push-down handle 50, thereby facilitating the second support portion 30 to press against the center console, preventing the second support portion 30 from becoming stuck and unable to be adjusted.

[0048] In the present disclosure, a third rotation axis 331 is provided on the connecting portion 33, and a mounting slot 332 is constructed on the connecting portion 33. The third rotation axis 331 is installed in the mounting slot 332. A third connection hole 43 is provided on the end of the second arm 40 away from the second connection hole 41. The third connection hole 43 and the third rotation axis 331 are sleeved together, and the second support portion 30 is configured to rotate along the axis of the third rotation axis 331. This configuration facilitates the installation of the third rotation axis 331. Placing the third rotation axis 331 in the mounting slot 332 also protects the third rotation axis 331 and nearby components from damage, thereby increasing their service life. Furthermore, the sidewalls of the mounting slot 332 also limit the rotation of the end of the second arm 40 connected to the second support portion 30, preventing it from rotating excessively, thereby facilitating a secure abutment between the second support portion 30 and the armrest assembly 210.

[0049] In the present disclosure, the installation auxiliary tool 100 can have a use state and an unuse state. In the use state, Figure 4 As shown, the first support portion 10 abuts against the seat 220, the second support portion 30 abuts against the armrest assembly 210, and the return spring 60 is in a stretched state. At this time, the angle between the first arm 20 and the pressing handle is 184°~188°, and the angle between the second arm 40 and the pressing handle is 192°~197°; in the unused state, as shown Figure 3 As shown, the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 30 are both suspended in the air, and the angle between the first arm 20 and the second arm 40 and the pressing handle can be 133°~135°.

[0050] For example, when not in use, the installation assist tool 100 is 280 mm long, the angle between the first arm 20 and the handle is 130°, and the angle between the second arm 40 and the handle is also 130°. When in use, the installation assist tool 100 is 306 mm long, the angle between the first arm 20 and the handle is 186°, and the angle between the second arm 40 and the handle is 195°. The first arm 20 is 70 mm long, the push-down handle 50 is 105 mm long, and the second arm 40 is 50 mm long.

[0051] In the present disclosure, the first support portion 10 may be made of polyurethane foam. Since polyurethane foam is lightweight, it is convenient for operators to pick up. At the same time, polyurethane foam can have high compressive strength while ensuring lightness, thus ensuring the reliability of the tight fit.

[0052] The second connection portion 33 may be made of polyurethane foam, with a thickness of 50 mm, a length of 115 mm, and a width of 95 mm.

[0053] In the present disclosure, the second support portion 30 can be made of nylon. Since nylon is lightweight, it is convenient for operators to pick up. At the same time, nylon has high strength and wear resistance while ensuring lightness, ensuring the reliability of the tight fit and increasing the service life.

[0054] The installation aid tool 100, as summarized in this disclosure, employs a three-stage structure. The tool 100 extends to support the rear of the center console and armrest assembly 210 while simultaneously pressing against the vehicle seat 220, pushing the tool 100 forward. When the push-down handle 50 is pressed downward, the angles between the first arm 20, the second arm 40, and the push-down handle 50 change, causing the tool 100 to extend as a whole, providing support. When the angles between the first arm 20, the second arm 40, and the push-down handle 50 are all greater than 180 degrees, the reaction force between the tool 100's in-vehicle support point (the seat 220) and the front center console and armrest assembly 210 components automatically locks, providing secure support. After using the tool 100 for support, the center console and armrest assembly 210 components can be installed and screwed in, reducing installation gaps.

[0055] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0056] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction, and the present disclosure will not further explain various possible combinations.

[0057] In addition, the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
