Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle equipment technology, specifically to a vehicle armrest box and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the design of in-vehicle armrest boxes, particularly the refrigerator / heater compartment and storage box, primarily focuses on a single usage mode. In existing technology, the storage box and refrigerator / heater compartment are usually independent, meaning they need to be designed and installed separately in the vehicle. This not only increases the complexity of the vehicle's internal components but may also lead to wasted space. In some integrated designs, the opening methods of the refrigerator / heater compartment and storage box interfere with each other, preventing simultaneous use.

[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a vehicle armrest box and a vehicle, aiming to improve the technical problem that the storage box and the refrigerator / heater box of the vehicle armrest box cannot be used at the same time in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a vehicle armrest box is provided, comprising: an armrest box body having a storage space and extending along a first preset direction, with an operation opening at the top of the armrest box body; a storage box movably connected to the armrest box body, having a first storage cavity for storing items, a closed position for closing the operation opening, and a clearance position for avoiding the operation opening; and a refrigerator / heater drawer movably disposed within the storage space, having a second storage cavity for placing items, wherein when the storage box is in the clearance position, items can be taken out from the second storage cavity through the operation opening, or items can be stored in the second storage cavity through the operation opening.

[0006] The above-mentioned optional embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: By applying the technical solution of this utility model, a storage box and a refrigerator / heater drawer are simultaneously set in the same armrest box. The movable connection between the storage box and the armrest box body allows the storage box to move between a closed position and a clearance position. When the storage box is in the clearance position, the operating port is opened, and the user can directly access the items in the refrigerator / heater drawer without opening the storage box. The storage box and the refrigerator / heater drawer can operate independently and work together, which can make more efficient use of the armrest box space and solve the technical problem that the storage box and refrigerator / heater of the vehicle armrest box cannot be used at the same time in the prior art.

[0007] Furthermore, the storage box and the armrest box body are rotatably connected, and the rotation axis of the storage box is set along the length or width direction of the armrest box body.

[0008] The above-mentioned optional embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: The rotational movement allows the storage box 2 to better adapt to the layout of the vehicle interior space and the usage habits of passengers without increasing the volume of the armrest box, thus improving space utilization efficiency. The rotation axis of the storage box is set along the length direction of the armrest box body, facilitating left-right rotation. This helps increase the accessibility of items when the vehicle's lateral space is narrow, and also allows for adjusting the storage box's position to be closer to passengers, improving the convenience of storing and retrieving items. The rotation axis of the storage box is set along the width direction of the armrest box body, which corresponds to the left-right direction of the vehicle. The storage box can rotate forward and backward, facilitating front and rear passengers to store and retrieve items as needed. Especially when the longitudinal space inside the vehicle is limited, this design effectively utilizes the depth space, improves storage efficiency, and also avoids interference with door, seat, and other components when the storage box rotates.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the armrest box body is provided with a mounting platform that is lower than the top surface of the armrest box body, the operating port is located on the mounting platform, and the bottom of the storage box is hinged to the edge of the mounting platform.

[0010] The above-mentioned optional embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: By designing the installation platform to be lower than the top surface of the armrest box body, additional installation space for the storage box can be provided without significantly increasing the overall height of the armrest box. The design of the operating opening ensures that the top surface of the storage box is flush with the top surface of the armrest box body when the passenger is using it, thereby maintaining the neatness and consistency of the armrest box's appearance and improving the comfort and aesthetics of the vehicle interior. The rotation and avoidance mechanism of the storage box ensures independent operation and timely integration of the storage box and the refrigeration / heating drawer functions. When the storage box is in the closed position, the armrest box can be used as a regular storage space; while when the storage box is rotated to the avoidance position, the operating opening of the refrigeration / heating drawer is fully exposed, allowing passengers to quickly access hot and cold items without affecting the storage function, achieving efficient synergy between storage and refrigeration / heating functions.

[0011] Furthermore, the storage box includes: a storage box body having a first storage cavity, the bottom of the storage box body being hinged to the mounting platform, and a first locking component cooperating with the armrest box body being provided on the side of the storage box body; and a storage box cover being movably connected to the storage box body, the storage box cover having a closed position for closing the first storage cavity, and the storage box body having an open position for opening at least part of the first storage cavity.

[0012] The above-described optional embodiments of this application achieve the following beneficial effects: the storage box lid and the storage box body are movably connected, enabling the storage box lid to switch between a closed position and an open position. When the storage box lid is in the closed position, the storage box lid and the storage box body form a closed structure, protecting the items in the first storage cavity from external environmental influences, while also providing an additional support surface, increasing the comfort of using the armrest box. When the storage box lid is in the open position, the storage box lid can partially or completely open the first storage cavity to facilitate the storage and retrieval of items. This design, while ensuring the sealing of the storage box, also gives the user greater operational freedom, making the use of the storage box more user-friendly and efficient. The first locking component installed on the side of the storage box cooperates with the armrest box body, not only fixing the storage box in the closed position to prevent accidental opening during vehicle operation, but also releasing the lock when needed, allowing the storage box body to rotate to the open position, providing complete access to the first storage cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, the storage box lid and the storage box body are rotatably connected, and the rotation axis of the storage box lid is set along the length or width direction of the storage box body.

[0014] The optional embodiments described above achieve the following beneficial effects: the rotation operation of the storage box lid is more intuitive and smoother than traditional flip-top or sliding operations, reducing operational complexity. Passengers can easily rotate the storage box lid to the desired position without worrying about jamming or operational difficulties, improving the user experience. The rotating connection design also allows the storage box lid to rotate to a position flush with the top surface of the storage box body when not in use, maintaining the smooth appearance of the armrest box while also providing passengers with an additional resting surface, enhancing riding comfort. The rotation axis of the storage box lid is set along the length direction of the storage box body, allowing the storage box lid to rotate left and right, which helps improve the visibility and selection of items. This design is particularly suitable for wider storage boxes, allowing passengers to easily view the inside of the storage box and select the desired items without being limited by the size of the lid or the interior layout. The rotation axis of the storage box lid is set along the width direction of the storage box body, allowing the storage box lid to rotate in the front and back directions, which is particularly useful in narrow and long storage boxes. When the storage box lid is rotated to the open position, the path to access items becomes shorter, and passengers do not need to move their arms significantly. This design can significantly improve the convenience of accessing items, especially when the interior space of the vehicle is limited.

[0015] Furthermore, the storage box lid is provided with a second locking component that cooperates with the storage box body.

[0016] The above-described optional embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: the second locking component can effectively lock the storage box lid onto the storage box body, forming a closed storage space. During vehicle operation, it can prevent the storage box from being accidentally opened, protecting the internal items from bumps or impacts, and preventing items from scattering or being damaged.

[0017] Furthermore, the vehicle armrest box also includes: a first sealing ring, which is connected to at least one of the edge of the mounting platform and the bottom edge of the storage box body.

[0018] The above-described optional embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: The first sealing ring can ensure a tight seal between the storage box body and the mounting platform, especially when the storage box is rotated to the closed position, it can effectively prevent external dust, moisture or foreign objects from entering the storage cavity, protecting the stored items from environmental factors. For armrest boxes with a hot / cold function, the sealing ring can also help maintain the internal temperature, reduce the leakage of hot and cold air, and improve energy efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, the vehicle armrest box also includes: a guide rail component, which extends along a first preset direction, and is slidably connected to the refrigerator / warmer drawer so that the refrigerator / warmer drawer has a storage position within the storage space, and at least a portion of the refrigerator / warmer drawer has a pull-out position that can be moved out of the storage space.

[0020] The above-described optional embodiments of this application achieve the following beneficial effects: The design of the guide rail component allows the refrigerator / warmer drawer to slide smoothly along a first preset direction, achieving low-resistance and high-efficiency movement whether sliding out from the storage position to the pull-out position or operating in the reverse direction. This not only greatly facilitates passengers' access to items in the refrigerator / warmer but also improves the smoothness of operation and user experience, especially since the stability of the guide rail is particularly important during vehicle operation. The guide rail component uses an electric guide rail, with the actuator end of the electric guide rail connected to the outer bottom surface of the refrigerator / warmer drawer and the fixed end of the electric guide rail connected to the inner bottom surface of the storage space. The bottom-mounted guide rail maximizes the use of vertical space, ensuring that the refrigerator / warmer drawer does not occupy excessive lateral space when fully pulled out. This is especially important for vehicles with compact interior spaces, maintaining a sense of spaciousness inside the vehicle. The drawer slides are electric. The actuating end of the electric drawer slides is connected to the two outer sides of the drawer, and the fixed end of the electric drawer slides is connected to the two inner sides of the storage space. Because the drawer slides are more widely distributed, the weight of the drawer can be more evenly distributed on the slides. The drawer slides on both sides can provide stronger load-bearing capacity.

[0021] Furthermore, the vehicle armrest box also includes: a second sealing ring, and the side of the armrest box body is provided with an opening that communicates with the storage space. The second sealing ring is connected to at least one of the edge of the outer panel of the refrigerator / heater drawer and the edge of the opening.

[0022] The above-described optional embodiments of this application achieve the following beneficial effects: the second sealing ring is connected to at least one of the edge of the outer panel of the warmer drawer and the edge of the opening, ensuring that the drawer maintains good sealing performance in any position. This is particularly important in the function of a warmer, as the effective sealing of the sealing ring reduces the loss of hot and cold air, maintains a stable temperature inside the drawer, improves energy efficiency, and allows the warmer drawer to effectively store and maintain the temperature of items even when partially pulled out.

[0023] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a vehicle is also provided, including a vehicle body and the aforementioned vehicle armrest box.

[0024] The above-described optional embodiments of this application achieve the following beneficial effects: the vehicle armrest box is no longer merely a traditional storage space, but an integrated device combining a cooling and heating function. This design allows passengers to enjoy the convenience of refrigerating or heating beverages and food inside the vehicle, while retaining the storage function and meeting multiple needs. It not only enhances the functionality of the vehicle and passenger comfort, but also provides passengers with a more intelligent, practical, and comfortable in-vehicle environment.

[0034] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0035] Currently, car armrest boxes generally adopt a functional separation strategy for the refrigerator / warmer compartment and the storage box, meaning the refrigerator / warmer compartment and the storage box are designed independently, each occupying a portion of the limited space inside the vehicle. While this design approach meets the basic needs of vehicle interiors for temperature and temperature preservation and daily storage to a certain extent, its inherent limitations are becoming increasingly apparent as consumers' expectations for the efficiency and flexibility of interior space utilization become higher, particularly in the following aspects:

[0036] Most car armrest storage boxes employ either drawer-style or flip-top designs for the refrigerator / warmer compartment and the glove compartment, each design catering to a specific usage scenario. For example, drawer-style designs facilitate direct access to items, especially for rear passengers, while flip-top designs are more convenient for front passengers. However, this functional separation means that at any given time, the driver or passenger can only use one function of the refrigerator / warmer compartment or the glove compartment, rather than both simultaneously, leading to inconvenience and inefficiency in practical use.

[0037] Since both occupy space independently, vehicle interior design often requires compromises between passenger comfort, spatial layout, and functional implementation, resulting in fragmentation and waste of available space inside the vehicle. This is especially true for compact and mid-size vehicles, where efficient use of space is a key consideration in the design.

[0038] Some vehicle models attempt to integrate storage compartments and heated / cooled compartments into a single unit, but these integrated designs often encounter difficulties in switching between functions during actual operation. For example, when a storage compartment is designed to transform into a heated / cooled compartment, its internal structure and operating mode need to switch between heating / cooling and storage modes. This switching often comes with operational complexity and limitations on stored items; that is, in heating / cooling mode, the storage space may become cramped or unusable due to the layout of cooling or heating elements, and vice versa. Therefore, while the hybrid design of storage compartments and heated / cooled compartments aims to provide versatility, it often leads to a lack of functional flexibility and limitations in usage scenarios in practice.

[0039] While hybrid designs improve space utilization efficiency, they sacrifice the smoothness and convenience of the user experience. For example, front-seat passengers may find that the storage compartment is occupied by the freezer / warmer when they want to use it, while rear-seat passengers may find that the freezer / warmer is storing other items and cannot be used immediately when they need a cold drink.

[0040] This application provides an embodiment of a vehicle armrest box; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The system includes: a center armrest box body 1, a storage box 2, and a refrigerator / heater drawer 3. The center armrest box body 1 has a storage space 11 and extends along a first preset direction, which is the length direction from one end of the center armrest box body 1 to the other end. The length direction of the center armrest box body 1 corresponds to the front-rear direction of the vehicle. An operation port 13 is provided on the top of the center armrest box body 1. The storage box 2 is movably connected to the center armrest box body 1. The storage box 2 has a first storage cavity 24 for storing items. The storage box 2 has a closed position for closing the operation port 13 and a clearance position for avoiding the operation port 13. The refrigerator / heater drawer 3 is movably installed in the storage space 11. The refrigerator / heater drawer 3 has a second storage cavity 31 for placing items. When the storage box 2 is in the clearance position, items can be taken out from the second storage cavity 31 through the operation port 13, or items can be stored in the second storage cavity 31 through the operation port 13.

[0041] The above-mentioned optional embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: By applying the technical solution of this utility model, a storage box and a refrigerator / heater drawer are simultaneously set in the same armrest box. The movable connection between the storage box and the armrest box body allows the storage box to move between a closed position and a clearance position. When the storage box is in the clearance position, the operating port is opened, and the user can directly access the items in the refrigerator / heater drawer without opening the storage box. The storage box and the refrigerator / heater drawer can operate independently and work together, which can make more efficient use of the armrest box space and solve the technical problem that the storage box and refrigerator / heater of the vehicle armrest box cannot be used at the same time in the prior art.

[0042] In this embodiment, the storage box 2 is rotatably connected to the armrest box body 1, and the rotation axis of the storage box 2 is set along the length or width direction of the armrest box body 1.

[0043] The above-mentioned optional embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: the rotational movement enables the storage box 2 to better adapt to the layout of the vehicle interior space and the passenger's usage habits without increasing the volume of the armrest box, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the rotation axis of the storage box 2 is arranged along the length direction of the armrest box body 1, which facilitates the rotation of the storage box 2 in the left and right directions. This helps to increase the accessibility of items by rotating the storage box 2 when the lateral space of the vehicle is narrow. At the same time, the position of the storage box can be adjusted by rotating it to make it closer to the passenger, thereby improving the convenience of storing and retrieving items.

[0045] In another exemplary embodiment, the rotation axis of the storage box 2 is set along the width direction of the armrest box body 1, and the width direction of the armrest box body 1 corresponds to the left and right direction of the vehicle. The storage box can rotate in the front and rear directions, which makes it convenient for front and rear passengers to store and retrieve items as needed. Especially when the longitudinal space inside the vehicle is limited, this design can effectively utilize the depth space and improve storage efficiency, while also avoiding interference between the storage box 2 and components such as doors and seats when it rotates.

[0046] Furthermore, the top of the armrest box body 1 is provided with an installation platform 12 that is lower than the top surface of the armrest box body 1, the operation port 13 is installed on the installation platform 12, and the bottom of the storage box 2 is hinged to the edge of the installation platform 12.

[0047] The above-mentioned optional embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: By designing the mounting platform 12 to be lower than the top surface of the armrest box body 1, additional installation space can be provided for the storage box 2 without significantly increasing the overall height of the armrest box. The design of the operating opening 13 ensures that the top surface of the storage box 2 is flush with the top surface of the armrest box body 1 when the passenger is using it, thereby maintaining the neatness and consistency of the armrest box's appearance and improving the comfort and aesthetics of the vehicle interior. The rotation avoidance mechanism of the storage box 2 ensures the independent operation and timely integration of the storage box 2 and the refrigeration / heating drawer 3. When the storage box 2 is in the closed position, the armrest box can be used as a regular storage space; while when the storage box 2 is rotated to the avoidance position, the operating opening 13 of the refrigeration / heating drawer 3 is fully exposed, allowing passengers to quickly access hot and cold items without affecting the storage function, achieving efficient synergy between storage and refrigeration / heating functions.

[0048] In this embodiment, the storage box 2 includes a storage box body 23 and a storage box cover 22. The storage box body 23 has a first storage cavity 24. The bottom of the storage box body 23 is hinged to the mounting platform 12. A first locking component 25 that cooperates with the armrest box body 1 is installed on the side of the storage box body 23. The storage box cover 22 is movably connected to the storage box body 23. The storage box cover 22 has a closed position for closing the first storage cavity 24, and the storage box body 23 has an open position for opening at least part of the first storage cavity 24.

[0049] The above-described optional embodiments of this application achieve the following beneficial effects: the storage box lid 22 and the storage box body 23 are movably connected, enabling the storage box lid 22 to switch between a closed position and an open position. When the storage box lid 22 is in the closed position, the storage box lid 22 and the storage box body 23 form a closed structure, protecting the items in the first storage cavity 24 from the influence of the external environment, while also providing an additional support surface, increasing the comfort of using the armrest box. When the storage box lid 22 is in the open position, the storage box lid 22 can partially or completely open the first storage cavity 24 to facilitate the storage and retrieval of items. This design, while ensuring the sealing of the storage box 2, also gives the user greater operational freedom, making the use of the storage box more user-friendly and efficient. The first locking component 25 installed on the side of the storage box 2 cooperates with the armrest box body 1. It can not only fix the storage box 2 in the closed position to prevent the storage box 2 from being accidentally opened during vehicle operation, but also release the lock when needed, allowing the storage box body 23 to rotate to the open position, providing complete access to the first storage cavity 24.

[0050] Furthermore, the storage box lid 22 is rotatably connected to the storage box body 23, and the rotation axis of the storage box lid 22 is set along the length or width direction of the storage box body 23.

[0051] The above-described optional embodiments of this application achieve the following beneficial effects: the rotation operation of the storage box lid 22 is more intuitive and smoother than the traditional flip-top or sliding operation, reducing operational complexity. Passengers can easily rotate the storage box lid 22 to the desired position without worrying about jamming or operational difficulties, improving the user experience. The rotating connection design also allows the storage box lid 22 to rotate to a position flush with the top surface of the storage box body 23 when not in use, maintaining the smooth appearance of the armrest box while also providing passengers with an additional resting surface, enhancing riding comfort.

[0052] In one exemplary embodiment, the rotation axis of the storage box lid 22 is arranged along the length direction of the storage box body 23, which is the same as the length direction of the armrest box body 1. This allows the storage box lid 22 to rotate left and right, which helps to improve the visibility and selection of items. This design is particularly suitable for wider storage boxes, allowing passengers to easily view the inside of the storage box and select the desired items without being limited by the size of the lid or the interior layout.

[0053] In another exemplary embodiment, the rotation axis of the storage box lid 22 is arranged along the width direction of the storage box body 23, which is the same as the width direction of the armrest box body 1. This allows the storage box lid 22 to rotate in the front-to-back direction, which is particularly useful in narrow storage boxes 2. When the storage box lid 22 is rotated to the open position, the path for accessing items becomes shorter, and passengers do not need to move their arms significantly. This design significantly improves the convenience of accessing items, especially in situations where vehicle interior space is limited.

[0054] Furthermore, the storage box lid 22 is equipped with a second locking component 21 that cooperates with the storage box body 23.

[0055] The above-described optional embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: the second locking component 21 can effectively lock the storage box lid onto the storage box body, forming a closed storage space. During vehicle operation, it can prevent the storage box from being accidentally opened, protect the internal items from bumps or impacts, and prevent items from falling out or being damaged.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle armrest box also includes a first sealing ring 26, which is connected to at least one of the edge of the mounting platform 12 and the bottom edge of the storage box body 23.

[0057] The above-described optional embodiments of this application achieve the following beneficial effects: the first sealing ring 26 ensures a tight seal between the storage box body 23 and the mounting platform 12, especially when the storage box 2 is rotated to the closed position, effectively preventing external dust, moisture, or foreign objects from entering the storage cavity and protecting the stored items from environmental factors. For armrest boxes with a hot / cold function, the sealing ring also helps maintain the internal temperature, reduces leakage of hot and cold air, and improves energy efficiency.

[0058] In this embodiment, the vehicle armrest box further includes: a guide rail component, which extends along a first preset direction of the storage space 11, and is slidably connected to the refrigerator / heater drawer 3 so that the refrigerator / heater drawer 3 has a storage position within the storage space 11, and at least a portion of the refrigerator / heater drawer 3 has a pull-out position that can be moved outside the storage space 11.

[0059] The above-described optional embodiments of this application achieve the following beneficial effects: the design of the guide rail component allows the refrigerator / warmer drawer 3 to slide smoothly along a first preset direction, achieving low-resistance and high-efficiency movement whether sliding out from the storage position to the pull-out position or operating in the reverse direction. This not only greatly facilitates passengers in accessing items inside the refrigerator / warmer but also improves the smoothness of operation and user experience, especially since the stability of the guide rail is particularly important during vehicle operation.

[0060] In one exemplary embodiment, the guide rail component adopts an electric guide rail. The actuating end of the electric guide rail is connected to the outer bottom surface of the refrigerator / warmer drawer 3, and the fixed end of the electric guide rail is connected to the inner bottom surface of the storage space 11. The guide rail set at the bottom can make maximum use of vertical space, so that the refrigerator / warmer drawer will not occupy too much lateral space when it is fully pulled out. This is especially important for vehicles with compact interior space, as it can maintain the spaciousness of the vehicle interior.

[0061] In another exemplary embodiment, the guide rail component adopts an electric guide rail. The actuating end of the electric guide rail is connected to the two outer sides of the refrigerator / warmer drawer 3, and the fixed end of the electric guide rail is connected to the two inner sides of the storage space 11. Since the guide rail is more widely distributed, the weight of the drawer can be more evenly distributed on the guide rail, and the guide rails set on both sides can provide stronger load-bearing capacity.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle armrest box also includes a second sealing ring 32. The side of the armrest box body 1 is provided with an opening 14 that communicates with the storage space 11. The second sealing ring 32 is connected to at least one of the edge of the outer panel 33 of the refrigerator / heater drawer 3 and the edge of the opening 14.

[0063] The above-described optional embodiments of this application achieve the following beneficial effects: In this embodiment, the second sealing ring 32 is connected to at least one of the edge of the outer panel 33 of the warm / cold compartment drawer 3 and the edge of the opening 14, ensuring that the drawer maintains good sealing performance in any position. This is particularly important in the function of a warm / cold compartment, as the effective sealing of the sealing ring can reduce the loss of hot and cold air, maintain a stable temperature inside the compartment, improve energy efficiency, and enable the warm / cold compartment drawer 3 to effectively store and maintain the temperature of items even when partially pulled out.

[0064] Work process:

[0065] The vehicle armrest box is closed, storage box 2 is in the closed position, and storage box cover 22 is also in the closed position. The first storage cavity 24 and the second storage cavity 31 are both sealed. The refrigerator / warmer drawer 3 is stored in the storage space 11 and is in the stored position. At this time, the entire armrest box presents a neat and closed whole, which is suitable for the vehicle interior environment.

[0066] Accessing items in storage box 2: The user unlocks the second latch component 21, exposing at least part of the first storage cavity 24, at which point items such as mobile phones, keys, and other daily necessities can be accessed in storage box 2. After use, the user closes the storage box lid 22 and locks it with the second latch component 21.

[0067] When using the refrigerator / heater drawer 3: The user unlocks the first locking component 25 of the storage box 2, rotates the storage box 2 to the clearance position, exposing the operating opening 13. The user can access items inside the refrigerator / heater drawer 3 through the operating opening 13. After use, the storage box 2 is rotated back to the closed position, and the first locking component 25 is locked, ensuring the top surface of the storage box is flush with the top surface of the armrest box body 1, maintaining a clean and safe interior environment.

[0068] Users can also slide the warmer drawer 3 along the guide rail to pull it out of its storage position, exposing at least part of the second storage compartment 31 for easy access to beverages, food, and other items requiring temperature control. After use, the user slides the warmer drawer 3 back into its storage position within the storage space 11, restoring it to its initial closed state.

[0069] According to another specific embodiment of this application, a vehicle is also provided, including a vehicle body and the vehicle armrest box in the above embodiment.

[0070] The above-described optional embodiments of this application achieve the following beneficial effects: By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the vehicle armrest box is no longer merely a traditional storage space, but an integrated device combining a cooling and heating function. This design allows passengers to enjoy the convenience of refrigerating or heating beverages and food inside the vehicle, while retaining the storage function and meeting various needs. It not only enhances the functionality of the vehicle and the comfort of passengers, but also provides passengers with a more intelligent, practical, and comfortable in-vehicle environment.
