Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior accessories technology, and in particular to an installation structure for a soft rubber pad for automotive center console. Background Technology

[0002] Most car center console armrests have storage slots, primarily for storing items like phones and keys. Taking a phone as an example, there's space between the phone and the slot wall. When driving on bumpy roads, the phone might slide and make noise. To prevent this, a soft rubber pad is usually placed at the bottom of the slot. This pad increases the phone's grip and effectively protects it.

[0003] Existing soft rubber pads generally use a plug-in installation method, which facilitates cleaning and replacement. However, the existing installation structure typically involves a circular locking hole in the storage slot of the center console, with a locking protrusion on the bottom of the soft rubber pad that matches the outer contour of the locking hole. During assembly, the locking protrusion of the soft rubber pad is inserted into the locking hole to complete the installation. In practical applications, this consistent contour structure makes it easy for the soft rubber pad to detach from the storage slot. Therefore, existing technology incorporates an undercut at the bottom of the locking protrusion of the soft rubber pad. The outer diameter of the undercut is larger than the diameter of the locking hole, thus preventing the soft rubber pad from detaching after assembly. However, in the actual assembly process, since the storage slot is a rigid structure, the size of the locking hole is fixed. The locking protrusion is made of soft rubber. During assembly, the buckle of the locking protrusion can only be pressed hard towards the locking hole to deform the buckle and slide into the locking hole. In this assembly process, the locking protrusion is very easy to be damaged, which can easily lead to a tear between the locking protrusion and the soft rubber pad, making the entire soft rubber pad unusable and causing assembly difficulties. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an installation structure for a soft rubber pad in the center console of an automobile. This installation structure, by improving the hole structure and the snap-fit ​​structure, can easily and conveniently install the soft rubber pad into the storage slot and form an anti-detachment structure, thus solving the problem of difficult assembly in the past.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model discloses an automotive center console soft rubber pad installation structure, including a storage groove and a rubber pad body. The bottom of the storage groove is provided with at least a pair of locking holes. Each locking hole includes a first circular hole and a second circular hole communicating with the first circular hole. The diameter of the second circular hole is larger than the diameter of the first circular hole, so that the locking hole is arranged in a gourd shape. At least a pair of guide posts extend downward from the bottom surface of the rubber pad body. The bottom end of each guide post forms an undercut portion. The outer diameter of the undercut portion is larger than the diameter of the first circular hole, the outer diameter of the undercut portion is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the second circular hole, and the outer diameter of the guide post is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the first circular hole.

[0006] The distance between the second circular holes of each pair of the card holes is less than the distance between the corresponding two first circular holes, and correspondingly, the distance between the undercut portions of each pair is equal to the distance between the pair of first circular holes.

[0007] The number of the card holes is two pairs, and the two pairs of card holes are mirror images of each other and are located on the upper and lower sides of the bottom of the storage slot, respectively.

[0008] In each pair, the two card holes are located on the left and right sides of the bottom of the storage slot, respectively.

[0009] The insertion openings of the first and second circular holes are rounded.

[0010] The cross-sectional shape of the inverted part is one of the following: polygon, rectangle, circle, frustum, triangle, and semicircle.

[0011] The upper part of the outer peripheral side of the inverted part and the lower part of the outer peripheral side of the inverted part are both conical or spherical surfaces.

[0012] The guide post has a first through hole arranged along its axial direction, and the undercut part has a second through hole that communicates with the first through hole.

[0013] The four edges of the rubber pad body curve upwards to form an enclosing portion.

[0014] Among them, multiple reinforcing ribs are provided between the outer side of the surrounding part and the bottom surface of the rubber pad body, and the multiple reinforcing ribs are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rubber pad body.

[0015] The top surface of the rubber pad body has multiple grooves arranged at intervals along the width or length of the rubber pad body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: by setting a pair of gourd-shaped locking holes, the pair of inverted parts at the bottom of the soft rubber pad can be inserted first through the second through hole with a larger diameter. After the inverted parts pass through the second through hole, the guide post is driven to slide horizontally into the first through hole, so that the pair of inverted parts lock the outer bottom surface of the storage groove, thereby limiting the vertical displacement of the rubber pad body. Since the distance between the second round holes of each pair of locking holes is smaller than the distance between the corresponding two first round holes, the pair of first round holes limit the horizontal movement of the rubber pad body, thereby preventing the rubber pad body from falling off. This replaces the previous circular locking holes, making the disassembly and assembly of the rubber pad body more convenient and quick, solving the problem of difficult assembly in the past. Moreover, the overall structure of the rubber pad body of this application is simple and compact, and the inverted parts will not be damaged during installation, so that the rubber pad body has a longer service life.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, mechanism, product, or end that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or ends.

[0024] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0025] This utility model discloses a specific embodiment of an automotive center console soft rubber pad mounting structure. Please see [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The installation structure includes a storage groove 1 and a rubber pad body 2. It should be noted that the storage groove 1 is a groove on the car's central control box, which is mainly used to store miscellaneous items such as mobile phones and keys. It can be understood that the installation structure in this embodiment is an assembly structure between the rubber pad body 2 and the car's central control box.

[0026] Furthermore, the bottom of the storage slot 1 is provided with multiple locking holes 10. The number of locking holes 10 can be selectively set according to needs, such as one, two, three, four, five, etc. Each locking hole 10 includes a first circular hole 11 and a second circular hole 12 that communicates with the first circular hole 11. The first circular hole 11 and the second circular hole 12 are arranged side by side, and the diameter of the second circular hole 12 is larger than the diameter of the first circular hole 11, so that the entire locking hole 10 is arranged in a gourd shape.

[0027] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 As shown, multiple guide posts 3 extend downward from the bottom surface of the rubber pad body 2. The number of guide posts 3 is the same as the number of locking holes 10 in the storage groove 1, and each guide post 3 is used in conjunction with one locking hole 10. A buckle 4 is formed at the bottom end of the guide post 3. The outer diameter of the buckle 4 needs to be larger than the diameter of the first round hole 11 so that the buckle 4 can lock onto the outer bottom surface of the storage groove 1 after assembly. Moreover, the outer diameter of the buckle 4 needs to be smaller than or equal to the diameter of the second round hole 12 so that the buckle 4 can easily pass through the second round hole 12. At the same time, the outer diameter of the guide post 3 is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the first round hole 11 so that the guide post 3 can slide smoothly between the first round hole 11 and the second round hole 12.

[0028] In some embodiments, the insertion openings of the first circular hole 11 and the second circular hole 12 are provided with rounded corners so that the guide post 3 can be smoothly inserted into the second circular hole 12 and also so that the guide post 3 can slide smoothly between the first circular hole 11 and the second circular hole 12.

[0029] In this embodiment, multiple card holes 10 are arranged in a matrix at intervals on the bottom of the storage slot 1. In other embodiments, the multiple card holes 10 can be arranged in a circular matrix. When there are three, they can be evenly distributed in a triangular arrangement. Preferably, there are four card holes 10, with each pair of card holes 10 forming a group. The two card holes 10 in each group are mirror images of each other and are located on the upper and lower sides of the bottom of the storage slot 1, respectively. The two groups of card holes 10 are located on the left and right sides of the bottom of the storage slot 1, respectively.

[0030] See Figure 2 As shown, since the two card holes 10 on the same upper and lower sides are mirror images of each other, the installation method of the rubber pad body 2 can be restricted. The assembly process of the automotive center console soft rubber pad mounting structure in this embodiment is as follows: First, place the rubber pad body 2 into the storage slot 1. Then, press and move the left and right sides of the rubber pad body 2 towards the center, causing the center of the rubber pad body 2 to arch up. Align the undercut part 4 on the left side of the rubber pad body 2 with the second round hole 12 below it, and align the undercut part 4 on the right side of the rubber pad body 2 with the second round hole 12 below it. Insert the undercut part 4 and the guide post 3 into the corresponding second round hole 12. Then, press the arched center of the pad body 2 to flatten it, causing the left and right sides of the rubber pad body 2 to move to the left and right respectively. At the same time, all the guide posts 3 on the left and right sides slide from the second round hole 12 into the corresponding first round hole 11. Since the diameter of the undercut part 4 is larger than the diameter of the first round hole 11, the undercut part 4 and the first round hole 11 cooperate to limit the upward direction of the rubber pad body 2. At this time, the installation of the rubber pad body 2 into the storage slot 1 is completed. Since the distance between the left and right undercut parts 4 of the rubber pad body 2 is approximately equal to the distance between the left and right first round holes 11 of the storage slot 1, it ensures that after the rubber pad body 2 is installed, the left and right undercut parts 4 of the rubber pad body 2 are located below the corresponding left and right first round holes 11 of the storage slot 1.

[0031] Alternatively, the pad body 2 can be installed in the following way: First, place the pad body 2 into the storage slot 1. Then, press down on the left and right sides of the pad body 2 and drag the left side to slide to the right. The middle of the pad body 2 will arch upwards. During the sliding process, since the guide post 3 and the buckle part 4 are both soft rubber, the guide post 3 can bend at a certain angle. The buckle part 4 gradually slides along the bottom of the storage slot 1 so that the buckle part 4 slides to the second round hole 12 with a larger diameter. Then, press the left side of the pad body 2 downwards so that the entire buckle part 4 passes through the corresponding second round hole 12, and the guide post 3 is located in the second round hole 12. Next, slide the left side of the pad body 2 to the left so that the guide post 3 slides from the second round hole 12 to the first round hole 11 with a smaller diameter. After assembly, the buckle part 4 is fastened to the outer bottom surface of the storage slot 1, completing the assembly of the left side of the pad body 2. Since the two locking holes 10 on the same side are mirror images of each other, the installation method for the right side of the rubber pad body 2 requires sliding the right side of the rubber pad body 2 towards the left, and its assembly process is the same as that for the left side. Because the distance between the left and right undercut parts 4 of the rubber pad body 2 is approximately equal to the distance between the left and right first round holes 11 of the storage slot 1, it ensures that after the rubber pad body 2 is installed, both the left and right undercut parts 4 are located below the corresponding left and right first round holes 11 of the storage slot 1.

[0032] Therefore, the installation of the rubber pad body 2 requires sliding it to the left and right respectively, or moving both sides of the rubber pad body 2 towards the center. Combined with the elasticity of the rubber pad body 2 itself, this better secures the rubber pad body 2 within the storage slot 1. In this way, no matter which direction the rubber pad body 2 slides, its undercut 4 cannot dislodge from the first round hole 11, further preventing the rubber pad body 2 from falling out of the storage slot 1. Furthermore, during the installation process, the bendable nature of the rubber material of the rubber pad body 2 can be fully utilized, eliminating the need for forced deformation of the undercut 4 to engage with the first round hole 11, thus extending the service life of the undercut 4.

[0033] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the undercut 4 is approximately octagonal, so that the upper part and lower part of the outer peripheral side surface of the undercut 4 form a conical or spherical surface. The conical or spherical surface can guide the undercut 4 to be smoothly inserted into the second circular hole 12, making the assembly process easier and more convenient. In other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the undercut 4 can be one of polygonal, rectangular, circular, frustum-shaped, triangular, or semi-circular, and can be selectively set according to actual needs.

[0034] In this embodiment, the guide post 3 has a first through hole 31 arranged along its axial direction, and the undercut part 4 has a second through hole 41 communicating with the first through hole 31, so that both the guide post 3 and the undercut part 4 form a hollow structure. This facilitates the deformation of the guide post 3 and the undercut part 4, thereby facilitating the folding or storage of the soft rubber pad. The guide post 3 and the undercut part 4 can also deform with the folding of the soft rubber pad, avoiding tearing at the connection between the guide post 3 and the rubber pad body 2 when the soft rubber pad is folded, thus facilitating the transportation and storage of the entire soft rubber pad.

[0035] In this embodiment, the four edges of the rubber pad body 2 curve upwards to form a surrounding portion 21. The surrounding portion 21 can protect the wall of the storage groove 1 and prevent dust or water from entering the bottom of the storage groove 1 through the gap between the rubber pad body 2 and the storage groove 1. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 23 are provided between the outer side of the surrounding portion 21 and the bottom surface of the rubber pad body 2. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 23 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rubber pad body 2. The reinforcing ribs 23 can enhance the structural strength of the surrounding portion 21, so that the surrounding portion 21 can better fit the wall of the storage groove 1.

[0036] Additionally, see Figure 2 As shown, the top surface of the pad body 2 has a plurality of grooves 22 spaced apart along the width direction of the pad body 2. The grooves 22 can increase the contact area between the pad body 2 and the support, and provide elastic cushioning for the support. In addition, the grooves 22 can prevent the support from being too firmly attached to the pad body 2, making it inconvenient to remove the support. In other embodiments, the plurality of grooves 22 may also be spaced apart along the length direction of the pad body 2.

[0037] The soft rubber pad installation structure of this embodiment uses a gourd-shaped locking hole 10 to allow the inverted part 4 at the bottom of the soft rubber pad to be inserted first through the larger diameter second through hole 41. After the inverted part 4 passes through the second through hole 41, the soft rubber pad is flattened, which drives all the guide posts 3 to slide horizontally into the corresponding first through hole 31, so that the inverted part 4 is located at the bottom of the corresponding first through hole 31, thereby locking the outer bottom surface of the storage groove 1 and preventing the rubber pad body 2 from falling off. This replaces the previously circular locking hole 10, making the disassembly and assembly of the rubber pad body 2 more convenient and quick, solving the previous assembly difficulties. The overall structure is simple and compact, and the rubber pad body 2 has a longer service life.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the automotive center console soft rubber pad installation structure disclosed in this utility model embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model.
