Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft seat armrests, and more specifically to an aircraft seat armrest. Background Technology

[0002] Seat armrests are an integral part of a seat, typically located on either side, and designed to provide additional support and comfort. Armrests can be found in various types of seats, including airplane seats, office chairs, and sofas. Some key features and functions of armrests are providing arm support for seated individuals, reducing pressure on the shoulders and spine, and increasing comfort. However, existing airplane seat armrests lack the function of massaging the passenger's arms; therefore, this application is proposed to address the aforementioned technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aircraft seat armrest that can massage the passenger's arms and improve passenger comfort.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an aircraft seat armrest, including a support base and a positioning rod fixedly connected to the top left side of the support base, a base rotatably connected to the positioning rod, a flip seat fixedly connected to the upper side of the base, a cushion installed on the upper side of the flip seat, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the middle of the flip seat, and multiple protruding seats fixedly connected to the rotating rod.

[0005] The cushion is made of rubber.

[0006] Each of the aforementioned protrusions is made of stainless steel.

[0007] Each of the protruding seats has multiple protrusions evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.

[0008] Each of the aforementioned protrusions is the same size. Attached Figure Description

[0009] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0016] In the figure: support base 101; positioning rod 102; limiting plate 103; flip base 201; cushion 202; support rod 203; base 204; bidirectional telescopic rod 301; spring 302; hemisphere 303; rotating rod 401; protruding seat 402. Detailed Implementation

[0017] An aircraft seat armrest includes a support base 101 and a positioning rod 102 fixedly connected to the top left side of the support base 101. A base 204 is rotatably connected to the positioning rod 102. A flip seat 201 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the base 204. A cushion 202 is installed on the upper side of the flip seat 201. A rotating rod 401 is rotatably connected to the middle of the flip seat 201. A plurality of protruding seats 402 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 401.

[0018] This section is based on Figure 1-7 The working process described is as follows: To facilitate the massage of passengers' arms by the aircraft seat armrests and improve passenger comfort, the support base 101 is installed on both sides of the aircraft seat. Then, the positioning rod 102 causes the flip base 201 to flip upward to a horizontal state, allowing the passenger's arms to rest on the two cushions 202. The output shaft of a motor is fixedly connected to the front side of the rotating rod 401 via a coupling. The motor is fixedly connected to the front side of the flip base 201 by bolts. The motor drives the rotating rod 401 to rotate, which in turn causes the multiple protruding seats 402 located in the middle of the rotating rod 401 to rotate, repeatedly pushing the cushions 202 upward. This repeated pushing of the cushions 202 creates localized bulges that massage and relax the user's arms, making it easy for the aircraft seat armrests to massage passengers' arms and improve passenger comfort. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0019] The cushion 202 is made of rubber.

[0020] Each of the aforementioned protrusions 402 is made of stainless steel.

[0021] Each of the protruding seats 402 has a plurality of protrusions evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.

[0022] This section is based on Figure 1-7The working process described is as follows: multiple protrusions 402 in the middle of the rotating rod 401 rotate, repeatedly pushing the cushion 202 upward. When the cushion 202 is repeatedly pushed upward to massage and relax the user's arm, the multiple protrusions in the circumferential direction of each protrusion 402 can form a repeated upward push of the cushion 202, thereby massaging the passenger's arm.

[0023] Each of the aforementioned protrusions 402 is the same size.

[0024] A limiting plate 103 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the support base 101, and a plurality of limiting holes are evenly provided on each limiting plate 103.

[0025] The right side of the flip seat 201 is rotatably connected to a support rod 203. The bottom of the support rod 203 is fixedly connected to a bidirectional telescopic rod 301. A hemisphere 303 is fixedly connected to each of the two movable ends of the bidirectional telescopic rod 301. The two hemispheres 303 can be respectively engaged in the limiting holes at corresponding positions on the two limiting plates 103.

[0026] A spring 302 is sleeved on each of the two movable ends of the bidirectional telescopic rod 301. The two sides of the two springs 302 are fixedly connected to the two hemispheres 303 and the front and rear sides of the fixed end of the bidirectional telescopic rod 301, respectively.

[0027] Each of the springs 302 is a compression spring.

[0028] This section is based on Figure 1-7 The working process described is as follows: When adjusting the rotation angle of the flip seat 201 and fixing it, it is convenient to place the arm to meet the different angle requirements of the passenger. When adjusting the flip angle of the flip seat 201, the passenger squeezes the two hemispheres 303 towards the center, simultaneously squeezing the two springs 302. Then, the support rod 203 is pushed to move laterally and the angle between the support rod 203 and the flip seat 201 is adjusted so that the flip seat 201 is at the angle required by the passenger. At this time, the pressure on the two hemispheres 303 is released, and the two hemispheres 303 are locked into the corresponding two limiting holes by the reverse force of the other spring 302. When adjusting the rotation angle of the flip seat 201 and fixing it, it is convenient to place the arm to meet the different angle requirements of the passenger. The structure is simple and convenient to use.
