[0029] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown: This embodiment discloses an armrest 16 (used on a car seat, with its rear end rotatably mounted on the seat and capable of rotating relative to the seat), including an armrest body, an adjuster 18, and an adjuster control mechanism. The armrest body includes a cup holder frame 19 and a cup holder body 20 located inside the cup holder frame 19. The cup holder frame 19 has a cuboid structure, part of which serves as the skeleton structure of the armrest 16. The interior of the cup holder frame 19 has a cup holder cavity for accommodating the cup holder body 20. The front end of the cup holder frame 19 has an opening communicating with the cup holder cavity. The cup holder body 20 is placed in the cup holder cavity, with its front end located outside the front end of the cup holder frame 19. The cup holder body 20 can slide relative to the cup holder frame 19, thereby sliding out of or into the cup holder frame 19. The specific structure of the cup holder body 20 and the principle of its sliding within the cup holder frame 19 are not improvements of this application and are not specifically described in this embodiment, as they are existing technologies. For example, please refer to the specific disclosure of a seat armrest cup holder with authorization announcement number CN215883414U.
[0030] In this embodiment, the angle adjuster 18 is installed at the rear end of the armrest 16. The angle adjuster 18 in this application is not an improvement of this patent. The angle adjuster 18 is currently quite mature and is commonly found in car seats. Therefore, this embodiment does not describe the structure and principle of the angle adjuster 18 in detail. The angle adjuster 18 adopts the existing angle adjuster structure.
[0031] Combination Figure 3As shown, the improvement in this embodiment lies in proposing an angle adjuster control mechanism. The angle adjuster control mechanism includes a housing, a fixed rack 11, a movable rack 7, a movable block 3, a gear 6, and a button 13. The housing includes a main body 1 and a cover 12. The interior of the main body 1 has a receiving space 2 for accommodating the fixed rack 11, gear 6, movable block 3, and movable rack 7. The cover 12 covers the main body 1. (Combined with...) Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed rack 11 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the receiving space 2. A rack hole is provided on the right side of the housing, through which the movable rack 7 passes. The movable rack 7 and the fixed rack 11 are opposite each other. The movable block 3 is located in the receiving space 2. The right end of the movable block 3 is a gear end 10, and a gear 6 is rotatably connected to the gear end 10. The specific rotation method of the gear 6 is as follows: the gear end 10 has a clamping groove, the gear 6 is located in the clamping groove, and the shaft of the gear 6 is rotatably inserted into the holes on both sides of the clamping groove. The gear 6 simultaneously meshes with both the fixed rack 11 and the movable rack 7.
[0032] The right end of the moving rack 7 is the connecting end 8, which is located on the outside of the housing. The connecting end 8 is connected to the cable 9 by a snap-fit connection. The button 13 is connected to the moving block 3. Pressing the button 13 moves the moving block 3. In this embodiment, the button 13 moves the moving block 3 as follows: the moving block 3 has a socket 5 and a first inclined surface 4 on the left inner wall of the socket 5. The housing cover 12 has a button hole, and the button 13 is located in the button hole. Figure 4 As shown, the back of the button 13 is integrally provided with an insertion part 15, which is used to insert into the socket 5. The side of the insertion part 15 is provided with a second inclined surface 14, so that after the angle adjuster control mechanism is assembled, the first inclined surface 4 and the second inclined surface 14 slide together.
[0033] Additionally, it's easy to understand that an elastic element (not shown in the figure) connects the moving block 3 and the housing. The function of this elastic element is that when button 13 is pressed down, Figure 3 When the movable block 3 moves to the left, the elastic element stores force. When button 13 is released, the movable block 3 can move to the right and reset under the elastic force of the elastic element. The elastic element can be a compression spring or a tension spring. If the elastic element is a compression spring, it needs to be connected to... Figure 3 If the elastic element is a tension spring, it needs to be connected to both the moving block 3 and the housing, with the connection point between the tension spring and the housing located to the right of the connection point between the tension spring and the moving block 3. The form and installation position of the elastic element are not specifically limited in this embodiment, as they can be adapted to the actual situation.
[0034] The angle adjuster control mechanism of the embodiment is fixed and installed on the outer top of the cup holder frame 19 by screws after being assembled, and specifically, the shell is fixed on the top of the cup holder frame 19, so that the angle adjuster control mechanism and the cup holder frame 19 are fixed.
[0035] The other end of the cable 9 is connected with the unlocking handle 17 of the angle adjuster 18 in the embodiment.
[0036] The specific implementation process is as follows: when the armrest 16 on the seat needs to be adjusted in rotation, the button 13 is manually pressed, the button 13 moves downward, the button 13 drives the moving block 3 to move left through the cooperation of the first inclined surface 4 and the second inclined surface 14, Figure 3 The moving block 3 in the moving block 3 moves left, the moving block 3 drives the gear 6 to move left, the gear 6 rolls on the fixed rack 11, and the gear 6 drives the moving rack 7 to move left at the same time, the moving rack 7 pulls the cable 9 left through the connecting end 8, the cable 9 pulls the unlocking handle 17 of the angle adjuster 18, so that the armrest 16 is unlocked in rotation, and the armrest 16 can rotate on the seat.
[0037] In the embodiment, the moving block 3 drives the gear 6 to move left, the gear 6 rolls on the fixed rack 11, and the gear 6 drives the moving rack 7 to move at the same time, the moving stroke of the moving rack 7 is the moving stroke of the moving rack 7 driven by the linear left movement of the gear 6 plus the moving stroke of the moving rack 7 driven by the rotation of the gear 6, so the moving stroke of the moving rack 7 is greater than the moving stroke of the moving block 3, so that the moving block 3 does not need to move a large stroke, and the button 13 also does not need to move a large stroke, when the angle adjuster 18 is controlled, the button 13 moves a small stroke to make the moving rack 7 move a large stroke, so that the cable 9 is fully pulled, and the angle adjuster 18 can be fully unlocked. In the actual product, the moving stroke of the button 13 is 8mm, and the moving stroke of the moving gear 6 can reach 20mm. Since the pressing stroke of the button 13 in the embodiment is small, the operation is more convenient, and the operation feeling of the operator on the button 13 is improved.
[0038] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model, and the specific technical solutions and / or common knowledge of the scheme are not described in detail. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solutions of the utility model, some deformations and improvements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the utility model, and these will not affect the effect and practicality of the utility model. The protection scope of the present application should be subject to the content of its claims, and the specific implementation mode and the like in the specification can be used to explain the content of the claims.
