[0006] The above-mentioned inside and outside are defined as follows: taking the center between the two first circular shaft holes at the end of the fixed frame as the reference, the side close to the center is the inside, and the side far from the center is the outside.

[0007] Generally, the car handrail box comprises a cover, a base and an upper hinge structure, the cover is installed on the movable frame, and the fixed frame is installed on the base.

[0008] The stem of the pin shaft passes through the first rubber washer, the two metal ring pieces, the first circular shaft hole, the second rubber washer and the second circular shaft hole in proper order to form a tight fit, the head of the pin shaft and the nut clamp the fixed frame and the movable frame to form a stable hinge structure.

The disc-shaped metal annular sheet can be understood as a shallow dish shape, the top and bottom of the shallow dish are relatively flat and circular or approximately circular, and the periphery of the shallow dish gradually inclines outward, and the edge is usually round and not too sharp. This shape often appears in various objects, such as dishes. The disc-shaped metal annular sheet has good elasticity. For example, in mechanical connection, the disc-shaped metal annular sheet can be used as an elastic element that can deform elastically when subjected to axial pressure, thereby buffering and absorbing vibration.

This opposite contact can increase the load-bearing capacity of the structure. When subjected to axial pressure, the concave peripheries of the two disc-shaped metal annular sheets support each other and can disperse the pressure to a larger contact area. This combined structure can withstand greater loads.

When the concave surface of one disc-shaped metal ring piece faces and closely contacts the convex edge of another disc-shaped metal ring piece, this combination effectively optimizes force transmission. When subjected to pressure, the convex surface transfers force to the concave surface, which then acts like a container to absorb and distribute this force.

[0015] In a further preferred embodiment, the thickness of the metal ring sheet is 0.9 mm to 1.1 mm.

[0016] In a further preferred embodiment, the thickness of the metal ring piece from the plane where the concave edge is located to the convex surface is 1.4 mm to 1.6 mm.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the first rubber gasket and the thickness of the second rubber gasket are both 0.9 mm-1.1 mm.

[0032] The above-mentioned definition of inside and outside is: based on the center between the two first circular shaft holes 11 at the end of the fixing frame 1, the side close to the center between the two first circular shaft holes 11 is inside, and the side away from the center between the two first circular shaft holes 11 is outside.

[0033] Generally, the automobile armrest box comprises a top cover, a base and an upper hinge structure, the top cover is installed on the movable frame 2, and the fixed frame 1 is installed on the base.

The above-mentioned dish shape can be understood as a shallow dish shape, the top and bottom of the shallow dish are relatively flat and circular or approximately circular, and the edge of the shallow dish gradually inclines outward, and the edge is generally rounded and not too sharp. Such a shape often appears in various objects, such as dishes. The above-mentioned dish-shaped metal ring has good elasticity, for example, in mechanical connection, the dish-shaped metal ring can be used as an elastic element, which can produce elastic deformation when subjected to axial pressure, and can play a role in buffering and absorbing vibration. When the vehicle runs on a bumpy road, the engine and other components will vibrate, and the dish-shaped metal ring can reduce the transmission of these vibrations to other components, protect the mechanical structure from excessive impact force, and prolong the service life of the mechanical components.
