They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a vehicle-mounted folding armrest box includes a box body 1. The box body 1 has an interior partition 11, and a flip-up table 2 is provided on one side of the partition 11. The two table panels 2 are hinged to opposite sides of the box body 1 via hinges 21 and pivots 22. When the table panels 2 are closed, they fit against the partition 11, significantly reducing the space occupied in the rear seats and providing arm support as a standard armrest box, thus improving passenger comfort. When the table panels 2 are opened, they flip to the same horizontal plane as the partition 11 via hinges 21 and pivots 22, increasing the area of the upper surface of the armrest box, facilitating dining in the vehicle, and increasing the area for placing items on the tabletop, thereby improving the practicality of the armrest box.
[0034] Furthermore, the partition 11 is provided with cup slots 111, and the two cup slots 111 are distributed under the two tabletops 2. A retractable cup sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to each cup slot 111. The cup sleeve 4 has a rubber structure around its perimeter and a metal structure at its bottom. The rubber structure of the cup sleeve 4 facilitates vertical stretching, while the metal structure conducts heat. When a cup is placed in the cup slot 111, the cup sleeve 4 stretches downwards onto the storage box 3, and the metal bottom of the cup sleeve 4 fits against the metal plate of the box shell 32. This allows heat from inside the box shell 32 to be conducted to the cup sleeve 4 through the two metal plates, thus heating and keeping the cup warm. When the cup is removed, the cup sleeve 4 retracts upwards to its original position, improving the convenience of the armrest box.
[0035] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 11As shown, a storage box 3 for storing food is provided on the other side of the partition 11. The storage box 3 is located inside the box body 1 and below the tabletop 2. The storage box 3 includes a storage drawer 31 and a box shell 32. The storage drawer 31 is equipped with a pull groove 33 for easy pulling. The storage drawer 31 is placed inside the box shell 32. The top and bottom panels of the box shell 32 are made of metal, and the side panels are made of plastic. That is, the metal material of the box shell 32 serves to conduct heat, while the plastic material of the box shell 32 serves to prevent heat dissipation. When the pull groove is pulled, the storage drawer 31 is pulled out to place food. After the food is placed, the storage drawer 31 is pushed into the box shell of the storage box 3, that is, the storage drawer 31 serves to store food.
[0036] Furthermore, a heating plate 5 is installed at the bottom of the storage drawer 31. The heating plate 5 is placed inside the casing 32. The heating plate 5 is electrically connected to a push-button switch 9 above the partition 11. The push-button switch 9 is located in the middle of the tabletop 2 and the cover 6 when the tabletop 2 and the cover 6 are closed. When the heating button of the push-button switch 9 is pressed, the heating tube 51 inside the heating plate 5 generates heat through the built-in heating wire, and the heat is transferred through the metal plate at the bottom of the casing 32 to heat and keep the food in the storage drawer 31 warm. In addition, the heat inside the storage drawer 31 can be transferred through the metal plate at the top of the casing 32 to the cup sleeve 4 on the storage box 3. That is, the storage drawer 31 and the heating plate 5 serve to heat and keep the food and water warm.
[0037] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the partition 11 is equipped with a horizontally sliding cover 6. The cover 6 has a pull groove 61 for easy pulling. Slider 62 is installed on opposite sides of the bottom of the cover 6. The partition 11 is equipped with a slide rail 111 corresponding to the position of the slider 62. When the cover 6 is closed, the center of the slider at the bottom of the cover 6 coincides with the center of the slide rail 112 on the partition 11, which greatly reduces the space occupied by the rear row and provides arm support as a general armrest, improving passenger comfort. When the cover 6 is open, pulling the pull groove 61 on the cover 6 will slide the cover 6 linearly along the horizontal direction of the slide rail 112, increasing the area of the armrest table for placing items.
[0038] Furthermore, when the cover plate 6 is opened, an ashtray 113 and a bin slot 114 are provided below the cover plate 6. Both the ashtray 113 and bin slot 114 are located above the trash can 8. A detachable ashtray 7 for easy ash removal is provided on the ashtray 113. The bottom of the ashtray 7 is fastened to the slot 73 by a buckle 72 to secure the two base plates 71, effectively preventing the ashtray 7 from unfolding on its own. In other words, the buckle 72 and the slot 73 serve to fix the base plates 71. When the buckle 72 separates from the slot 73, the two base plates 71 unfold, and the ash inside the ashtray 7 falls into the trash can 8. Thus, the ashtray 7 serves to store and dispose of ash, increasing the convenience and practicality of the handrail box. Below the ashtray 7 is a trash can 8 for easy storage of trash. The trash can 8 has a pull groove 83 for easy pulling. When the pull groove 83 is pulled, the ashtray 7 can be pulled upwards to facilitate the removal of the trash can 8. In addition, the upper cover 81 of the trash can 8 is set on the partition 11. The upper cover 81 is movably connected to the slot 114 of the partition 11 by a torsion spring 82. When emptying the trash, pressing the upper cover 81 will flip it downwards, and the trash will fall into the trash can 8 below. After the trash is disposed of, the upper cover 81 can automatically spring back to the same plane as the partition 11, that is, the upper cover 81 improves the convenience of the handrail box.
[0039] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, the outer shell of the armrest box 1 is made of ABS frosted plastic, ensuring a good feel during use. Several light strips 12 are arranged on opposite sides of the armrest box 1 to provide lighting for rear passengers while dining, improving the practicality of the armrest box. In addition, several ventilation slots 13 are located below the light strips 12 to ensure even temperature distribution within the armrest box 1. The armrest box 1 is equipped with several safety buckles 14, which can be connected to seat belts, thereby improving the stability and safety of the armrest box.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
