[0037] Combine Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a cable 60-type front and rear bidirectional opening button structure for the armrest cover 20 of the automobile center console, which includes: a box fixing frame 10, used to connect with the armrest box; the armrest cover 20, used to be rotatably connected to the box fixing frame 10; and a locking mechanism for locking the armrest cover 20 on the box fixing frame 10, a front button 40, which is installed on the front side of the box fixing frame 10, and the front button 40 is driven and connected to the locking mechanism to drive the locking mechanism to unlock; a rear button 50, which is installed on the rear side of the box fixing frame 10, and the rear button 50 is driven and connected to the locking mechanism through a cable 60 to drive the locking mechanism to unlock.

[0038] Specifically, when a front passenger wants to open the armrest cover 20, they press the front button 40 to unlock the latch mechanism. When a rear passenger wants to open the armrest cover 20, they press the rear button 50 to unlock the latch mechanism via the cable 60, without having to unfasten their seatbelt. Compared to the prior art, the rear button 50 of this application innovatively connects the latch mechanism with the cable 60, allowing rear passengers to unlock the latch mechanism by pressing the rear button 50, opening the armrest cover 20 and then taking items from or placing items in the armrest compartment.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cable 60 is provided on the left and / or right side of the box-mounted bracket 10. One end of the cable 60 is connected to the rear button 50, and the other end of the cable 60 is connected to the locking mechanism. In this embodiment, space is reserved on the left and right sides of the box-mounted bracket 10 to accommodate the cable 60. The cable 60 can be provided on either the left or right side of the box-mounted bracket 10, or on both the left and right sides of the box-mounted bracket 10, as required.

[0040] Furthermore, the cable-type 60-type front-to-rear bidirectional opening button structure for the vehicle center console armrest cover 20 further includes a linkage rod 70 rotatably mounted on the box mounting bracket 10. The rear button 50 is connected to the cable 60 via the linkage rod 70, so that the position of the rear button 50 can be varied by utilizing the linkage rod 70. The rear button 50 is no longer limited to directly corresponding to the cable 60. Instead, the rear button 50 can be positioned in the middle of the rear side of the box mounting bracket 10 and then connected to the cable 60 located on the left side of the box mounting bracket 10 via the linkage rod 70. Specifically, when the rear button 50 is pressed, it moves toward the linkage rod 70, pushing the linkage rod 70 to rotate. The end of the linkage rod 70 connected to the cable 60 then pulls the cable 60, driving the locking mechanism to unlock.

[0041] Regarding the structure of the locking mechanism, in this embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a locking member 310, which is rotatably connected to the box fixing frame 10; the locking member 310 includes a driving rod 311 and a locking tongue 312, the driving rod 311 being connected to the cable 60, and the locking tongue 312 being arranged corresponding to the locking groove 210 on the armrest cover 20; the locking member 310 is driven by the rear button 50 to rotate forward, and the locking tongue 312 moves away from the locking groove 210, thereby releasing the lock of the armrest cover 20. The locking member 310 has a locked position and an unlocked position relative to the box fixing frame 10. When the locking member 310 is in the locked position, the locking tongue 312 is inserted into the locking groove 210 on the armrest cover 20; when the locking member 310 is in the unlocked position, the locking tongue 312 moves away from the locking groove 210 of the armrest cover 20.

[0042] Specifically, when the locking member 310 is in the locked position, after the rear button 50 is pressed, the rear button 50 moves in the direction of the linkage rod 70, pushing the linkage rod 70 to rotate, and the end of the linkage rod 70 connected to the cable 60 then pulls the cable 60, and the cable 60 pulls the driving rod 311, causing the locking member 310 to rotate in the forward direction, and the lock tongue 312 leaves the lock slot 210 to release the lock on the armrest cover 20 and open the armrest cover 20.

[0043] Regarding the driving method of the front button 40 and the locking member 310, the front button 40 is further abutted against the driving rod 311; the locking member 310 is driven by the front button 40 to rotate forward, and the locking tongue 312 leaves the locking slot 210, thereby releasing the lock on the armrest cover 20. Specifically, after the front button 40 is pressed, the front button 40 moves toward the driving rod 311, pushing the locking member 310 to rotate forward, and the locking tongue 312 leaves the locking slot 210, thereby releasing the lock on the armrest cover 20 and opening the armrest cover 20.

[0044] Furthermore, the locking mechanism also includes a torsion spring 320, one end of the torsion spring 320 is against the box fixing frame 10, and the other end of the torsion spring 320 is against the driving rod 311; when the locking member 310 loses the driving action of the front button 40 or the rear button 50, the locking member 310 rotates in the opposite direction under the elastic force of the torsion spring 320, thereby realizing the resetting of the locking member 310.

[0045] It should be noted that both the front button 40 and the rear button 50 are provided with return springs to assist in resetting.

[0046] Specifically, the collar portion of the torsion spring 320 is sleeved onto the rotation axis of the locking member 310, securing the torsion spring 320. When the locking member 310 rotates forward, the drive rod 311 compresses the torsion spring 320, accumulating elastic potential energy. Once the locking member 310 loses the drive of the front button 40 or the rear button 50, the torsion spring 320 releases its elastic potential energy, causing the locking member 310 to rotate in the reverse direction under the elastic force of the torsion spring 320, thereby resetting the locking member 310.

[0047] Furthermore, when the locking member 310 rotates in the reverse direction, the linkage rod 70 can be pulled by the cable 60 to reset.

[0048] Furthermore, a sliding surface is provided on the upper side surface of the locking tongue 312. When the armrest cover 20 is closed, the armrest cover 20 will contact the sliding surface and push the locking member 310 to rotate forward until the locking groove 210 is opposite to the locking tongue 312. The armrest cover 20 no longer pushes the locking member 310, and the locking member 310 is reset and the locking tongue 312 is inserted into the locking groove 210 on the armrest cover 20, thereby completing the locking of the armrest cover 20.

[0049] In this embodiment, the armrest cover 20 includes a left armrest cover and a right armrest cover. The left armrest cover is pivotally connected to the left side of the box fixing bracket 10, and the right armrest cover is pivotally connected to the right side of the box fixing bracket 10. The left and right armrest covers are both provided with a locking slot 210 on the side facing the locking member 310, thereby realizing a double-door structure. In other embodiments, only one armrest cover 20 may be provided.

[0050] There are two locking members 310; in order to be able to use one cable 60, the driving rods 311 of the two locking members 310 are further connected to the cable 60 through a connecting member 330, so that the two locking members 310 can be synchronously driven to rotate in the forward direction through the connecting member 330.

[0051] In this embodiment, the box mounting bracket 10 includes a mounting bracket body 110 and a mounting cover 120. The mounting cover 120 is detachably connected to the mounting bracket body 110 and forms a receiving cavity. The locking mechanism is located within the receiving cavity. If the locking mechanism malfunctions or becomes damaged, the mounting cover 120 can be opened for repair and replacement.

[0052] Furthermore, the fixing frame body 110 is provided with a through hole; the pull cable 60 passes through the through hole and is connected to the locking mechanism in the accommodating cavity, so as to reasonably utilize the structure of the fixing frame body 110 .
