[0063] As another implementation, the limiting structure can also be a limiting block arranged on the side wall of the storage groove 201. The limiting block is close to the first opening 202. When the cover body 300 is in the open state, the side of the cover body 300 away from the bottom wall of the storage groove 201 abuts against the limiting block, which can also limit the cover body 300 from continuing to rotate relative to the handrail lower cover 200, thereby limiting the opening angle of the cover body 300, which is not limited here.

[0064] In the embodiment, the cover body 300 comprises a bottom plate 310 and first side plates 320 arranged opposite along the axial direction of the connecting piece 500, each of the first side plates 320 is provided with a through hole 303, the connecting piece 500 and the threaded hole 204 are correspondingly provided with two, the rod part of the connecting piece 500 is arranged in the corresponding through hole 303 and is screwed with the corresponding threaded hole 204, so that the cover body 300 is uniformly stressed, and the rotation stability of the cover body 300 can be improved.

[0065] For example Figure 7 As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, each of the first side plates 320 is provided with a groove 321, the groove 321 penetrates to the side of the first side plate 320 away from the bottom plate 310, when the cover body 300 is in the open state, the user can place the flat plate-shaped object in the groove 321 to facilitate supporting and fixing the flat plate-shaped object, and the functional diversity of the handrail assembly can be improved.

[0066] It should be noted that along the axial direction of the connecting piece 500, the groove 321 penetrates through both sides of the corresponding first side plate 320, when the cover body 300 is in the open state, flat plate-shaped objects of different lengths can be placed in the groove 321, such as mobile phones or tablets and other electronic devices, which can be suitable for flat plate-shaped objects of different lengths, thereby improving the versatility of the handrail assembly.

[0067] For example Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the groove 321 is a straight groove, when the cover body 300 is at the maximum opening angle, the groove 321 is inclined to the handrail lower cover 200, in this way, the mobile phone can be conveniently rested on the handrail lower cover 200 to avoid falling.

[0068] It should be noted that, for example Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the cover body 300 is at the maximum opening angle, the smallest included angle between the surface of the side of the bottom plate 310 away from the first side plate and the surface of the side of the handrail lower cover 200 away from the handrail upper cover 100 is θ, which satisfies: 30°≤θ≤60°, on the one hand, it ensures that the user has enough space to take and place the objects in the storage slot 201 through the first opening 202, on the other hand, it can avoid the objects in the storage slot 201 from falling. The value of θ can be 30°, 32°, 34°, 36°, 38°, 40°, 42°, 44°, 46°, 48°, 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, 60°, which is not limited herein.

[0069] In the embodiment, when the cover body 300 is in the closed state, the side of the bottom plate 310 away from the first side plate 320 is flush with the side of the handrail lower cover 200 away from the handrail upper cover 100, when the handrail assembly closes the storage cavity of the handrail box, the cover body 300 does not occupy the internal space of the storage cavity, so that the capacity of the storage cavity is not affected by the cover body 300, and it is ensured that the storage cavity can accommodate more objects.

[0070] As another implementation, when the cover body 300 is in the closed state, the bottom plate 310 is arranged in the storage groove 201 away from one side of the first side plate 320, which can also ensure that the cover body 300 does not occupy the internal space of the storage cavity, which will not be described here.

[0071] For example Figure 7 As shown, in the embodiment, the cover body 300 further comprises a second side plate 330, the second side plate 330 and the oppositely arranged first side plate 320 integrally form a U-shaped structure, the second side plate 330 is connected between the opposite first side plates 320, and the second side plate 330 is connected with the bottom plate 310 and can support the first side plate 320. Since the first side plate 320 is rotationally connected with the lower armrest cover 200 through the connecting piece 500, the first side plate 320 is subjected to a large force, and by arranging the second side plate 330, the first side plate 320 can be prevented from being bent and deformed in the direction of approaching the opposite first side plate 320, the structural strength of the first side plate 320 can be improved, the structural stability of the first side plate 320 can be improved, and thus the service life of the cover body 300 can be improved, and the smooth rotation of the cover body 300 can be ensured.

[0072] It should be noted that the lock tongue 301 is connected to one side of the bottom plate 310 and the first side plate 320, and the lock tongue 301 is oppositely arranged with the second side plate 330. When the cover body 300 is in the closed state, the lock tongue 301 is accommodated in the storage groove 201, and the lock tongue 301 can be hidden to improve the appearance of the vehicle interior.

[0073] For example Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment, the armrest assembly further comprises a foamed layer 710 and a skin layer 720, the skin layer 720 is arranged on one side of the upper armrest cover 100 away from the lower armrest cover 200, and the foamed layer 710 is clamped between the skin layer 720 and the upper armrest cover 100.
