[0101] The specific implementation mode of the elastic member 316 installed on the shaft 314 can be various, including but not limited to screw limiting, clamping limiting or riveting limiting, etc., so that one end of the elastic member 316 abuts against the shaft matching surface 3142, and the other end of the elastic member 316 is fixed on the shaft 314. One end of the clamping segment 3162 of the elastic member 316 can be in close contact with the first support 30, or in close contact with the second support 32, which can provide an elastic force for the armrest box cover plate 2.

[0102] The second shaft segment 3143 is also provided with a clamping spring groove 3144 having a notch corresponding to the clamping groove 3145, and the clamping spring 317 is installed in the clamping spring groove 3144. The clamping spring 317 abuts against the elastic member 316, so that the elastic member 316 is not easy to fall off.

[0103] Among them, the armrest box includes two rotating assemblies 31, one of which is connected between a first support leg and a second support leg, and the other of which is connected between another first support leg and another second support leg. By providing two rotating assemblies 31, the hovering mechanism 3 can stably drive the armrest box cover plate 2.

[0104] In specific implementations, the two sets of rotating assemblies 31 include two sets of rotating shafts 314 and / or two sets of elastic members 316. One set of rotating shafts 314 and / or elastic members 316 connects the first side of the first bracket 30 and the first side of the second bracket 32, and the other set of rotating shafts 314 and / or elastic members 316 connects the second side of the first bracket 30 and the second side of the second bracket 32.

[0105] As shown in FIG. 1, the armrest box cover plate 2 has a closed position, an initial hovering position, and an open position, wherein the initial hovering position is between the unlocked position and the open position. The elastic member 316 is used to drive the armrest box cover plate 2 in the unlocked state to move from the closed position to the initial hovering position. Figures 11 to 13

[0106] When the armrest box cover plate 2 is in the unlocked state, the lock tongue 16 is separated from the armrest box cover plate 2, and the elastic force of the elastic member 316 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 314 through the clamping groove 3145, and the rotating shaft 314 in turn transmits to the first bracket 30, which is connected to the armrest box cover plate 2 and drives the armrest box cover plate 2, so that the armrest box cover plate 2 is driven by the elastic force of the elastic member 316 to rotate, providing a pop-up force for the armrest box cover plate 2.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, the second bracket 32 is fixed to the auxiliary instrument panel body 4, the first bracket 30 is mounted on the armrest box cover plate 2, and the elastic member 316 has elastic potential energy to drive the first bracket 30 to move the armrest box cover plate 2 from the closed position to the initial hovering position. Wherein the first bracket 30 has a first position and a second position relative to the second bracket 32, when the first bracket 30 is in the first position, the armrest box cover plate 2 is in the closed position, and when the first bracket 30 is in the second position, the armrest box cover plate 2 is in the initial hovering position. The first bracket 30 has a limiting portion 304, and one end of the elastic member 316 is movably connected to the limiting portion 304. When the first bracket 30 is in the first position, one end of the elastic member 316 abuts against the second bracket 32 to provide the elastic potential energy for the first bracket 30 to rotate from the first position to the second position relative to the second bracket 32, and the elastic member 316 does not abut against the limiting portion 304. When the first bracket 30 is in the second position, the elastic member 316 abuts against the limiting portion 304 to limit the first bracket 30 from continuing to rotate, so that the armrest box cover plate 2 is in the initial hovering position.

[0108] During the process of the armrest box cover plate 2 being popped up, the elastic member 316 gradually separates from the second bracket 32 and releases its elastic potential energy, and when the elastic member 316 abuts against the limiting portion 304 of the first bracket 30, the elastic force of the elastic member 316 is converted into the internal stress of the rotating assembly 31, the first bracket 30 no longer rotates, and the armrest box cover plate 2 is in the initial hovering position.

[0109] ​It can be understood that in the related art, the initial pop-up function of the armrest box cover plate is achieved by a torsional spring mechanism, and a key component of the torsional spring mechanism is a torsional spring. The torsional force of the torsional spring changes with manufacturing errors of the torsional spring and decays with use. The change in the torsional force of the torsional spring causes the initial pop-up angle of the armrest box cover plate to change, thereby causing the initial pop-up angle of the armrest box cover plate to be uncontrollable. In the embodiments of the present application, the limiting portion 304 is arranged on the first support 30, so that the initial hovering position of the armrest box cover plate 2 corresponding to the hovering mechanism is determined by the abutment of the elastic member 316 against the limiting portion 304, thereby keeping the initial hovering position of the armrest box cover plate 2 fixed, and correspondingly keeping the initial pop-up angle of the armrest box cover plate 2 fixed.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first support 30 is provided with a limiting groove 303, and the elastic member 316 is movably arranged in the limiting groove 303. The limiting portion 304 corresponds to the end face of the limiting groove 303.

[0111] In some embodiments, the second support 32 is provided with a force applying groove 321, and the top end of the force applying groove 321 is open. The elastic member 316 can be movably connected to the force applying groove 321 after passing through the limiting groove 303. Specifically, when the first support 30 is in the first position, the elastic member 316 is clamped to the force applying groove 321, so that the elastic member 316 has elastic potential energy. When the first support 30 gradually moves from the first position to the second position, the elastic member 316 gradually separates from the force applying groove 321 and releases its elastic potential energy. When the first support 30 is in the second position, the elastic member 316 abuts against the force applying groove 321, and the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 316 is substantially consumed. The first support 30 has a third position relative to the second support 32, and the third position corresponds to the limit opening state of the armrest box cover plate 2. When the first support 30 is in the third position, the elastic member 316 abuts against the limiting portion 304, and the elastic member 316 is separated from the force applying groove 321.

[0112] It can be understood that, in the process of driving the first support 30 to rotate the armrest box cover plate 2 by the elastic member 316, the elastic member 316 abuts against the limiting portion 304, corresponding to the armrest box cover plate 2 being in the hovering position. The lifting angle of the armrest box cover plate 2 is defined as the included angle between the armrest box cover plate 2 in the hovering position and the armrest box cover plate 2 in the closed position. When the armrest box cover plate 2 is in the closed position, the included angle between the axis of the connecting segment 3163 of the elastic member 316 and the end face of the limiting groove is equal to the lifting angle of the armrest box cover plate 2.

[0113] Since the lifting angle of the armrest box cover plate 2 only depends on the included angle between the axis of the connecting segment 3163 of the elastic member 316 and the end face of the limiting groove, and is independent of the elastic force error of the elastic member 316 generated during manufacturing and long-term use, the lifting angle of the armrest box cover plate 2 can be accurately controlled.

[0114] As shown in Figure 12 , when the armrest box cover 2 is in the initial hovering position, the damping member 313 between the first support 30 and the rotation shaft matching surface 3142 utilizes the friction generated by the close contact with the first support 30 and the rotation shaft matching surface 3142 to provide rotation damping for the armrest box cover 2, so that the armrest box cover 2 can be stably hovered in the hovering position. It can be understood that the armrest box cover 2 can be hovered at any position between the initial hovering position and the carding position, and the damping member 313 is used to maintain any hovering position of the armrest box cover 2.

[0115] As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 , after the armrest box cover 2 is in the initial hovering position, the user can continue to rotate the armrest box cover 2 to the open position by pulling. In the process of rotating the armrest box cover 2, the elastic member 316 closely contacts the limiting portion 304 and rotates synchronously with the armrest box cover 2, the first support 30 has a first support limiting surface 306, and the second support 32 has a second support matching surface 323. When the second support matching surface 323 abuts against the first support limiting surface 306, the first support 30 moves to the limit position, and correspondingly, the armrest box cover 2 also moves to the limit open position. The limit open angle of the armrest box cover 2 is defined as the included angle between the armrest box cover 2 in the open position and the armrest box cover 2 in the unlocked state. The angle between the first support limiting surface 306 and the second support matching surface 323 when the armrest box cover 2 is in the closed position is defined as a second angle, and the limit open angle of the armrest box cover 2 is equal to the second angle.

[0116] The closing process of the armrest box cover 2 from the open position or the initial hovering position to the closed position is that a downward Z-direction force is applied to the armrest box cover 2, the armrest box cover 2 drives the first support 30 and the rotation mechanism 31 to rotate, the first support 30 and the elastic member 316 rotate synchronously to approach the force applying groove 321 of the second support 32, and continue to rotate until the elastic member 316 contacts the force applying groove 321. The elastic member 316 is clamped in the force applying groove 321 and accumulates elastic potential energy for the elastic member 316.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to prevent abnormal sound generated by the armrest box cover 2 in the process of opening or closing, as shown in Figure 8 , a first buffer 315 is arranged between the rotation shaft 314 and the elastic member 316, which is used to prevent the elastic member 316 from directly contacting the rotation shaft 314, and the first buffer 315 can be a rubber-coated structure.

[0118] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 13As shown, a second buffer 324 is sleeved outside the second support 32, which is used to prevent the second support 32 from directly contacting the first support 30 to produce abnormal sound, and when the second support 32 abuts against the first support limiting surface 306, the second buffer 324 abuts against the first support limiting surface 306, wherein the second buffer 324 can be a rubber-coated structure, so as to eliminate abnormal sound.

[0123] In the hovering mechanism of the embodiments of the present application, the limiting portion is arranged on the first support, the first support has a first position and a second position, and the first position of the first support corresponds to the closed position of the armrest box cover plate, and the second position of the first support corresponds to the initial hovering position of the armrest box cover plate. Taking the hovering mechanism used to drive the armrest box cover plate as an example, when the first support is at the first position, the elastic member abuts against the second support to provide elastic potential energy for the first support to rotate from the first position to the second position relative to the second support, and when the first support is at the second position, the elastic member abuts against the limiting portion, so that the armrest box cover plate driven by the hovering mechanism is kept stable at the initial hovering position, thereby enabling the initial pop-up angle of the armrest box cover plate to be accurately controlled.
