Detailed Implementation

[0026] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0027] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the sliding handrail structure in an embodiment of this utility model; Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the sliding handrail structure in an embodiment of this utility model; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the sliding handrail structure in its initial state in an embodiment of this utility model; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the sliding handrail structure in the foremost state in an embodiment of this utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the sliding armrest structure provided by this utility model includes a sub-instrument panel 10 and an armrest unit 20 disposed on the sub-instrument panel 10. The armrest unit 20 is movably disposed on the sub-instrument panel 10. The armrest unit 20 can flexibly adjust its position according to the driver's height and driving habits to meet the driver's needs for the armrest support of the sub-instrument panel. An armrest locking component 30 is provided between the sub-instrument panel 10 and the armrest unit 20. The armrest locking component 30 can lock the armrest unit 20, thereby improving the support function of the armrest unit 20. This makes the sliding armrest structure provided by this utility model simple in structure, and allows for flexible adjustment of the position of the armrest unit 20 according to the driver's height and driving habits. It has good flexibility and can meet the needs of the driver and passengers for the armrest support of the sub-instrument panel.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the sub-instrument panel 10 includes a sub-instrument panel frame 11, a left trim panel 12, a right trim panel 13, and an upper trim panel 14. The left trim panel 12 and the right trim panel 13 are respectively disposed on both sides of the sub-instrument panel frame 11, and the upper trim panel 14 is disposed on top of the sub-instrument panel frame 11. The sub-instrument panel 10 also includes a rear cover plate 15, which is disposed at the rear end of the sub-instrument panel frame 10, thereby improving the structural strength and aesthetics of the sub-instrument panel 10 and effectively supporting the armrest unit 20.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the upper trim panel 14 is provided with armrest guide rails 16, which are located on both sides of the upper trim panel 14. Two armrest guide rails 16 are respectively located on both sides of the upper trim panel 14. The armrest unit 20 is slidably mounted on the armrest guide rails 16. The armrest unit 20 includes an upper armrest cover 21 and a lower armrest cover 22. The upper armrest cover 21 is mounted on the lower armrest cover 22, and the lower armrest cover 22 is movably mounted on the armrest guide rail 21. The lower armrest cover 22 has grooves 23 on both sides, and the grooves 23 are concave. The armrest guide rail 16 is provided with sliding protrusions 161 that are adapted to the grooves 23. The sliding protrusions 161 are slidably mounted in the grooves 23, so that the lower armrest cover 22 and the upper armrest cover 21 can slide along the armrest guide rail. This allows for flexible adjustment of the position of the armrest unit 20 according to the driver's height and driving habits, providing good flexibility and meeting the needs of the driver and passengers for the support of the instrument panel armrest.

[0031] The slide groove 23 is provided with a contact flange 24, which is evenly distributed in the slide groove 23. The contact flange 24 abuts against the sliding protrusion 161 and the armrest guide rail 16. The contact flange 24 makes the armrest lower cover 22 and the armrest guide rail 16 in linear contact, which can reduce the friction between the armrest lower cover 22 and the armrest guide rail 16. No lubrication structure is needed, which reduces costs and makes the position adjustment process of the armrest unit 20 smoother and more efficient, further improving the user experience of the driver and passengers.

[0032] Figure 5 yes Figure 2 A magnified view of part A in the middle.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper cover 21 of the handrail is provided with a first through hole 211, and the lower cover 22 of the handrail is provided with a second through hole 221. The first through hole 211 and the second through hole 221 are used for the installation and fixing of the handrail locking unit 30.

[0034] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the armrest locking unit in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1 ; Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the locking armrest unit in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 .

[0035] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the handrail locking assembly 30 includes a sleeve 31, a locking rod 32, and a locking spring 33. The sleeve 31 is fitted into the second through hole 221. The locking rod 32 is telescopically mounted inside the sleeve 31. The locking spring 33 is sleeved on the locking rod 32. One end of the locking spring 33 is connected to the sleeve 31, and the other end is connected to the locking rod 32. A decorative cover 34 is provided on the end of the locking rod 32 away from the handrail guide rail 16. The decorative cover 34 is located in the first through hole 211 and can... To improve aesthetics and prevent dust and other impurities from entering the handrail locking unit 30 through the first through hole 211, a locking hole 162 is provided on the handrail guide rail 16. When the handrail unit 20 slides along the handrail guide rail 16, one end of the locking rod 32 abuts against the handrail guide rail 16. When it passes through the locking hole 162, the locking spring 33 drives the locking rod 32 to extend, and one end of the locking rod 32 is locked in the locking hole 162, thereby locking the handrail unit 20 and improving the supporting function of the handrail unit 20.

[0036] Locking holes 162 are evenly arranged on the armrest guide rail 16. Locking holes 162 are provided at distances of 100mm, 200mm, 300mm and 400mm in front of the armrest unit 20, which improves the range of movement and adjustment of the armrest unit 20. The cross-section of the locking hole 162 is trapezoidal, so that when the driver or passenger applies force to the armrest unit 20, one end of the locking rod 32 can be easily disengaged from the locking hole 162, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the armrest unit 20. This makes the sliding armrest structure provided by this utility model simple in structure, and can flexibly adjust the position of the armrest unit 20 according to the driver's height and driving habits. It has good flexibility and can meet the needs of the driver and passengers for the support function of the sub-dashboard armrest.
