At the same time, the cooperation of the limiting ring 4021 and the limiting piece 201 can also provide a certain supporting force for the flip cover 10, so that the flip cover 10 can be kept stable in the opened state and is not easy to shake, thereby improving the user's use experience.

[0028] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the connecting piece 20 comprises a first connecting body 21 and a second connecting body 22, one end of the first connecting body 21 is connected with the flip cover 10, the other end of the first connecting body 21 is assembled in the second connecting body 22, and the second connecting body 22 is connected with one end of the damper 30. Through the arrangement of the first connecting body 21 and the second connecting body 22, the connecting piece 20 is equivalent to a split structure, which not only facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the connecting piece 20, but also improves the flexibility and adaptability of the hand rest 100. Users or manufacturers can choose different specifications or types of first connecting bodies 21 and second connecting bodies 22 for assembly according to actual needs to meet different use scenarios and needs.

[0029] In addition, in some embodiments, the other end of the first connecting body 21 is detachably assembled in the second connecting body 22, for example, through screw connection. This detachable connection design makes it easier to repair and replace the connecting piece 20 when it is damaged, reduces the use cost, and prolongs the service life of the hand rest 100.

[0030] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the limiting piece 201 is arranged on the first connecting body 21, and when the flip cover 10 is opened to expose the opening 40h, the second connecting body 22 abuts against one side of the limiting ring 4021 facing the groove bottom of the mounting groove 402s. Through this arrangement, the cooperation between the limiting piece 201 and the limiting ring 4021 is more stable, and due to the abutting action of the second connecting body 22, the stability of the flip cover 10 can be further enhanced, so that the flip cover 10 is less likely to shake in the open state.

[0031] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the flip cover 10 comprises a foaming piece 11 and a lining plate 12, the lining plate 12 is stacked on one side of the foaming piece 11 facing the accommodation space 40s, and one end of the connecting piece 20 is connected to one side of the lining plate 12 facing the accommodation space 40s.

The foaming piece 11 provides a soft touch, which can reduce the fatigue of the user when using the hand rest 100 for a long time, and the lining plate 12 increases the rigidity and durability of the flip cover 10, so that the flip cover 10 can better withstand the pressure of heavy objects. At the same time, this combined design also makes the manufacturing and maintenance of the flip cover 10 more convenient, reduces the production cost, and improves the performance-price ratio of the hand rest 100.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that in some embodiments, the handrest 100 further comprises a first magnetic member 50 and a second magnetic member 60, the first magnetic member 50 is arranged on the side of the backboard 12 facing the accommodation space 40s, and the second magnetic member 60 is arranged on the shell 40. When the flip cover 10 covers the opening 40h, the first magnetic member 50 and the second magnetic member 60 are magnetically attracted and fixed. Through the magnetic attraction and fixation of the first magnetic member 50 and the second magnetic member 60, the flip cover 10 can be kept stable when covering the opening 40h, and is not easy to be accidentally opened due to external factors. At the same time, the magnetic attraction and fixation method also has a certain buffering effect, which can reduce the impact of the flip cover 10 on the shell 40 in the handrest 100 when closing, and prolong the service life of the handrest 100.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that when the flip cover 10 is opened, there will be resistance at the moment of opening under the action of the first magnetic member 50 and the second magnetic member 60. During the opening process, the damper 30 works to achieve the effect of hovering. When reaching the maximum opening angle, the limiting piece 201 in the connecting piece 20 is limited by the limiting ring 4021, so as to fix the flip cover 10 in the open state, facilitating user operation. When closing the flip cover 10, the flip cover 10 is slowly buckled on the shell 40 under the action of the first magnetic member 50 and the second magnetic member 60, reducing the impact of the flip cover 10 on the shell 40 when closing.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that the arrangement position and number of the first magnetic member 50 and the second magnetic member 60 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the first magnetic member 50 can be arranged at multiple positions of the flip cover 10 to provide more uniform magnetic attraction force when the flip cover 10 covers the opening 40h, ensuring the stability of the flip cover 10. At the same time, a corresponding number of second magnetic members 60 can also be arranged at the corresponding positions of the shell 40 to achieve good magnetic attraction cooperation with the first magnetic members 50.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that in some embodiments, the handrest 100 further comprises an expansion function mounting position 70 in the accommodation space 40s, and the expansion function mounting position 70 is used for mounting an expansion function operating piece. Through this arrangement, users can flexibly install various expansion function operating pieces on the expansion function mounting position 70 according to personal preferences or actual needs of the interior space of the handrest box, further enriching the practicality of the handrest 100.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that in some embodiments, the shell 40 is further recessed in the direction away from the flip cover 10 to form a hand holding position 403, and the hand holding position 403 is exposed to form a gap when the flip cover 10 covers the opening 40h. Through this arrangement, the hand holding position 403 provides a space for users to operate conveniently.
