AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current car armrest boxes are generally designed to open from only one side, making it inconvenient to access items on the other side. Furthermore, the locking lever requires significant force to reset, which can easily cause hand injuries.

Method used

Design a side-opening armrest box for automobiles. The left and right opening can be achieved through the cooperation of a linkage structure and a damper. The locking rod reset operation force is reduced by the linkage between the button assembly and the linkage wheel.

Benefits of technology

The armrest box can be opened from both sides, making it easier for passengers to access items from both sides, reducing the force required to reset the locking lever, improving the user experience, and preventing the locking lever from injuring the hand.
