Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, and in particular to a sliding armrest box for electric vehicles with heat preservation function. Background Technology

[0002] A car armrest is a car accessory installed between two seats and belongs to the car interior system. Its human-centered design is intended to allow the driver to rest their arm during long drives, so that the arm can be effectively rested and not become sore, numb, or stiff.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following drawbacks exist: Existing armrest boxes are mostly fixed in position within the vehicle. When the car is parked, if the driver's or passenger's side is close enough, the door cannot be opened. In this situation, it is necessary to exit from the other side, but the armrest box cannot be moved, making it difficult for passengers to move from the driver's seat to the passenger seat or vice versa, thus reducing the device's practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a sliding armrest box for electric vehicles with heat preservation function.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a sliding armrest box for electric vehicles with heat preservation function, comprising a hollow armrest box, two cup openings on the upper surface of the armrest box, a storage slot on the upper surface of the armrest box, two symmetrically arranged opening and closing doors on the upper surface of the armrest box, a base on the bottom surface of the armrest box, a slide rail fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the base, the armrest box being slidably connected to the slide rail, an air conditioning vent inside the armrest box, and a control device for controlling the sliding of the armrest box on the base, the control device comprising a control component and a drive component.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the armrest box is in use, the staff can open the door to put items into the armrest box for storage. During this process, the items in the armrest box can be kept warm through the air conditioning vent. When the staff needs to move the armrest box, the staff needs to activate the control device, which will then control the armrest box to slide along the slide rail. In this process, the difficulty for the staff to move from the driver's seat to the passenger seat or vice versa is reduced, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the armrest box is provided with a receiving groove, and the inner wall of the receiving groove is provided with a rotating groove. The control component includes a rack fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base, a rotating rod rotatably mounted in the rotating groove, and a first gear sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod. The first gear is fixed to the rotating rod, the first gear is located in the receiving groove, and the first gear meshes with the rack.

[0008] Furthermore, an installation groove is provided on the inner wall of the rotating groove, and the driving assembly includes a motor fixedly installed on the top wall of the installation groove, a first bevel gear fixedly installed on the end of the motor output shaft, and a second bevel gear fixedly installed on the side wall of the rotating rod, wherein the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear mesh with each other.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when a worker needs to move the armrest box, the worker needs to start the motor, which in turn rotates the motor output shaft. This causes the first bevel gear to rotate under the action of the motor output shaft, which in turn causes the second bevel gear to rotate under the action of the first bevel gear. This, in turn, causes the rotating rod to rotate under the action of the second bevel gear, which in turn causes the first gear to rotate under the action of the rotating rod. This allows the first gear to mesh with the rack, thereby moving the armrest box. Furthermore, when a worker needs to move the armrest box in the opposite direction, the worker simply reverses the motor, thus reducing the difficulty of moving the armrest box and consequently reducing the workload for the worker.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixing groove is provided on the inner wall of the rotating groove, and an electric cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixing groove. A fixing component for fixing the rotating rod is fixedly installed at the end of the piston rod of the electric cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating rod has multiple fixing holes arranged in a circumferential array on the side wall away from the second bevel gear. The fixing assembly includes a fixing member fixedly installed at the end of the electric cylinder piston rod and multiple fixing rods fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixing member. The fixing rods are slidably connected to the fixing holes, and the multiple fixing rods correspond one-to-one with the multiple fixing holes.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the staff has moved the armrest box, they need to fix it. At this time, the staff needs to activate the electric cylinder, which will extend the piston rod of the electric cylinder. This will cause the fixing component to move closer to the rotating rod under the action of the electric cylinder, and then the fixing rod will move closer to the rotating rod under the action of the fixing component. This will move the fixing rod into the fixing hole, thereby fixing the rotating rod. This reduces the probability of the rotating rod rotating when subjected to external force, and thus reduces the probability of the first gear rotating when subjected to external force, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0013] Furthermore, an annular groove is formed on the inner wall of the rotating groove, and an annular block is rotatably arranged in the annular groove, the annular block being fixed to the rotating rod.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotating rod rotates, the annular block rotates synchronously with the rotating rod. During use, the annular block limits the rotation rod, thereby reducing the probability of the rotating rod moving when subjected to external force, thus improving the stability of the device.

[0015] Furthermore, multiple heat dissipation holes are provided through the inner bottom wall of both the fixing groove and the mounting groove.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat dissipation holes dissipate heat from the mounting slot and fixing slot, thereby reducing the probability of the motor and electric cylinder overheating and being damaged.

[0017] Furthermore, the armrest box is equipped with two buttons, both of which are electrically connected to the motor and the electric cylinder.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the button reduces the difficulty for staff to control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, thereby reducing the workload of the staff.

[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. In this application, when the armrest box is in use, the staff can open the door and put items into the armrest box for storage. During this process, the items in the armrest box can be kept warm through the air conditioning vent. When the staff needs to move the armrest box, the staff needs to activate the control device, which will then control the armrest box to slide along the slide rail. In this process, the difficulty for the staff to move from the driver's seat to the passenger seat or vice versa is reduced, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0021] 2. In this application, when a worker needs to move the armrest box, the worker needs to start the motor, which in turn rotates the motor output shaft. This causes the first bevel gear to rotate under the action of the motor output shaft, which in turn causes the second bevel gear to rotate under the action of the first bevel gear. This causes the rotating rod to rotate under the action of the second bevel gear, which in turn causes the first gear to rotate under the action of the rotating rod. This allows the first gear to mesh with the rack, thereby moving the armrest box. Furthermore, when a worker needs to move the armrest box in the opposite direction, the worker simply reverses the motor, thus reducing the difficulty of moving the armrest box and consequently reducing the workload for the worker.

[0022] 3. In this application, after the worker has moved the armrest box, the worker needs to fix the armrest box. At this time, the worker needs to activate the electric cylinder, which causes the piston rod of the electric cylinder to extend, thereby causing the fixing part to move towards the rotating rod under the action of the electric cylinder. This causes the fixing rod to move towards the rotating rod under the action of the fixing part, thereby moving the fixing rod into the fixing hole and fixing the rotating rod. This reduces the probability of the rotating rod rotating when subjected to external force, and thus reduces the probability of the first gear rotating when subjected to external force, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] like Figure 1-4As shown in the figure, this application discloses a sliding armrest box for electric vehicles with heat preservation function, including an armrest box 1, a switch door 13, a base 14, a slide rail 15, a control component 3, a drive component 4, an electric cylinder 5, a fixing component 6, and an annular block 7. The armrest box 1 is a hollow rectangular structure. Two cup openings 11 are provided on the upper surface of the armrest box 1, and a storage slot 12 is provided on the upper surface of the armrest box 1. An air conditioning vent (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the armrest box 1. Two switch doors 13 are provided and symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the armrest box 1 for opening and closing the armrest box 1. The base 14 is a rectangular plate structure and is located on the bottom surface of the armrest box 1. The slide rail 15 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 14, and the armrest box 1 is slidably connected to the slide rail 15. The control device is located on the base 14 and is used to control the sliding of the armrest box 1. The control device includes a control component 3 and a drive component 4.

[0030] When the armrest box 1 is in use, the staff can open the switch door 13 to put items into the armrest box 1 for storage. During this process, the items in the armrest box 1 can be kept warm through the air conditioning vent. When the staff needs to move the armrest box 1, the staff needs to activate the control device, which will then control the armrest box 1 to slide along the slide rail 15. In this process, the difficulty for the staff to move from the driver's seat to the passenger seat or vice versa is reduced, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0031] The bottom surface of the armrest box 1 has a receiving groove 2, and the inner wall of the receiving groove 2 has a rotating groove 21. The control component 3 includes a rack 31, a rotating rod 32, and a first gear 33. The rack 31 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 14. The rotating rod 32 is a round rod structure with its axis horizontal, and the rotating rod 32 is rotatably mounted in the rotating groove 21. The first gear 33 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 32, and its axis coincides with the axis of the rotating rod 32. The first gear 33 and the rotating rod 32 are fixed to each other. The first gear 33 is located in the receiving groove 2, and the first gear 33 meshes with the rack 31.

[0032] An installation groove 22 is formed on the inner wall of the rotating groove 21. The drive assembly 4 includes a motor 41, a first bevel gear 42, and a second bevel gear 43. The motor 41 is fixedly mounted on the inner top wall of the installation groove 22, and its output shaft axis is vertical. The first bevel gear 42 is fixedly mounted on the end of the output shaft of the motor 41, and its axis coincides with the axis of the output shaft of the motor 41. The second bevel gear 43 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the rotating rod 32, and its axis coincides with the axis of the rotating rod 32. The first bevel gear 42 and the second bevel gear 43 mesh with each other.

[0033] When a worker needs to move the armrest box 1, they need to start the motor 41, which in turn rotates the output shaft of the motor 41. This causes the first bevel gear 42 to rotate under the action of the motor 41's output shaft, which in turn causes the second bevel gear 43 to rotate under the action of the first bevel gear 42. This causes the rotating rod 32 to rotate under the action of the second bevel gear 43, which in turn causes the first gear 33 to rotate under the action of the rotating rod 32. This allows the first gear 33 to mesh with the rack 31, thereby moving the armrest box 1. Furthermore, when a worker needs to move the armrest box 1 in the opposite direction, they simply reverse the motor 41, thus reducing the difficulty of moving the armrest box 1 and consequently lowering the workload for the worker.

[0034] A fixed groove 23 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating groove 21. The electric cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed groove 23, and the axis of its piston rod is horizontal.

[0035] The fixing assembly 6 is fixedly mounted on the end of the piston rod of the electric cylinder 5 to fix the rotating rod 32. The fixing assembly 6 includes a fixing member 61 and fixing rods 62. The fixing member 61 is fixedly mounted on the end of the piston rod of the electric cylinder 5, and its axis coincides with the axis of the rotating rod 32. Multiple fixing rods 62 are provided and fixedly mounted on the side wall of the fixing member 61. The fixing rods 62 are slidably connected to the fixing holes 24, and the multiple fixing rods 62 correspond one-to-one with the multiple fixing holes 24.

[0036] After the staff has moved the armrest box 1, they need to secure it. At this time, the staff needs to activate the electric cylinder 5, causing the piston rod of the electric cylinder 5 to extend. This causes the fixing member 61 to move closer to the rotating rod 32 under the action of the electric cylinder 5, which in turn causes the fixing rod 62 to move closer to the rotating rod 32 under the action of the fixing member 61. This moves the fixing rod 62 into the fixing hole 24, thus securing the rotating rod 32. This reduces the probability of the rotating rod 32 rotating under external force, and consequently reduces the probability of the first gear 33 rotating under external force, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0037] An annular groove 25 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating groove 21. The annular block 7 is rotatably disposed in the annular groove 25, and its axis coincides with the axis of the rotating rod 32. The annular block 7 and the rotating rod 32 are fixed to each other.

[0038] When the rotating rod 32 rotates, the annular block 7 rotates synchronously with the rotating rod 32. During use, the annular block 7 limits the rotating rod 32, thereby reducing the probability of the rotating rod 32 moving when subjected to external force, thus improving the stability of the device.

[0039] To reduce the probability of overheating and damage to the motor 41 and electric cylinder 5, multiple heat dissipation holes 8 are provided through the inner bottom wall of both the fixing groove 23 and the mounting groove 22. The heat dissipation holes 8 dissipate heat from the mounting groove 22 and fixing groove 23, thereby reducing the probability of overheating and damage to the motor 41 and electric cylinder 5.

[0040] To reduce the workload for staff, the armrest box 1 is equipped with two buttons 9, both of which are electrically connected to the motor 41 and the electric cylinder 5. Buttons 9 reduce the difficulty for staff in controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 41, thereby reducing the workload for staff.

[0041] The operating principle of a sliding armrest box for electric vehicles with heat preservation function in this embodiment is as follows: When the armrest box 1 is in use, the operator can open the switch door 13 to put items into the armrest box 1 for storage. During this process, the items in the armrest box 1 can be kept warm through the air conditioning vent. When the operator needs to move the armrest box 1, the operator needs to start the motor 41, which causes the output shaft of the motor 41 to rotate. This causes the first bevel gear 42 to rotate under the action of the output shaft of the motor 41, which in turn causes the second bevel gear 43 to rotate under the action of the first bevel gear 42. This causes the rotating rod 32 to rotate under the action of the second bevel gear 43, which in turn causes the first gear 33 to rotate under the action of the rotating rod 32. This causes the first gear 33 to mesh with the rack 31, thereby causing the armrest box 1 to move. In addition, when the operator needs to move the armrest box 1 in the opposite direction, the operator simply reverses the motor 41.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
