[0057] Embodiment

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 Fig. 1 shows the structure schematic diagram of the center console movement mechanism 100 provided by the embodiment, Figure 2 Fig. 2 shows the structure schematic diagram of the center console movement mechanism 100 in actual application.

[0059] The center console movement mechanism 100 provided by the embodiment comprises a lower slide rail 110 and an upper slide rail 120. The lower slide rail 110 is arranged on the vehicle body, and specifically can be arranged on the floor of the vehicle body and extends between the front seat and the rear seat in the passenger compartment. The upper slide rail 120 is movably arranged on the lower slide rail 110. The upper slide rail 120 is provided with a center console 140. In the process of moving the upper slide rail 120 relative to the lower slide rail 110, the center console 140 is driven to move between the position convenient for the front passenger to use and the position convenient for the rear passenger to use.

[0060] In the embodiment, the upper slide rail 120 is in sliding fit with the lower slide rail 110, and the upper slide rail 120 can slide on the lower slide rail 110 under force. It should be noted that in actual application, the driving of the upper slide rail 120 to slide can be manual action, for example, a passenger pushes the center console 140 by hand; or the driving of the upper slide rail 120 can be realized by configuring a driving device, and the driving device can be a motor, a cylinder or the like.

[0061] It should be noted that Figure 3 , Figure 3 Fig. 4 is an exploded structural schematic view of the center console movement mechanism 100.

[0062] The center console movement mechanism 100 provided in the embodiment further includes a front cover plate 161, a rear cover plate 162, a shielding strip 163, a front buffer 164 and a rear buffer 165. The front cover plate 161 and the rear cover plate 162 are respectively arranged at two ends of the lower slide rail 110 to cover the open structure at the two ends of the lower slide rail 110. The shielding strip 163 is arranged at a position where the surface of the lower slide rail 110 is in sliding fit with the upper slide rail 120 to cover the open structure of the surface of the lower slide rail 110.

[0063] It can be understood that the front cover plate 161, the rear cover plate 162 and the shielding strip 163 collectively realize effective blocking of the internal space of the lower slide rail 110 from the outside, prevent the internal structure of the lower slide rail 110 from leaking out, and can effectively prevent dust and other foreign matters in the outside from entering the lower slide rail 110, thereby ensuring smooth sliding of the upper slide rail 120.

[0064] The front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the lower slide rail 110 and are located inside the lower slide rail 110. The front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165 define the sliding stroke of the upper slide rail 120, that is, the upper slide rail 120 is configured to slide between the front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165.

[0065] It should be noted that the front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165 both have a certain elastic deformation capacity and can be rubber blocks or the like. The front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165 are both used to elastically abut against the upper slide rail 120 to respectively absorb the excess kinetic energy of the upper slide rail 120 when sliding to the maximum stroke in two directions, thereby improving the stability of the sliding process of the upper slide rail 120.

[0066] It should be noted that Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 4 Fig. 3 is a structural schematic view of the lower slide rail 110, Figure 5 Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the A-A section of Figure 4 Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the B-B section of Figure 6 Fig. 6. Figure 4 ​

[0067] In the embodiment, the front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165 are fixed inside the lower slide rail 110 through the pins 166. The front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165 each have a matching hole matched with the pin 166. The side walls at both ends of the lower slide rail 110 are each provided with an assembly hole for assembling the pin 166.

[0068] In actual application, before the front cover plate 161 and the rear cover plate 162 are assembled, the front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165 are respectively sent into the lower slide rail 110 through the open structure at both ends of the lower slide rail 110. When the matching hole of each of the front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165 is respectively aligned with the two assembly holes at both ends of the lower slide rail 110, the two pins 166 are respectively inserted into the two assembly holes until the two pins 166 are respectively matched with the matching holes on the front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165.

[0069] After the assembly of the front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165 is completed, the front cover plate 161 and the rear cover plate 162 can be assembled at both ends of the lower slide rail 110 to cover the open structure at both ends of the lower slide rail 110. It can be understood that, in order to facilitate the replacement of the front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165, the front buffer 164 and the rear buffer 165 can be inserted or threadedly connected with the corresponding pins 166.

[0070] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the embodiment, the lower slide rail 110 is further provided with a wire harness guide pipe 114 and a drag chain 115. The drag chain 115 is connected with the upper slide rail 120. The wire of the central control console 140 is slidably arranged in the wire harness guide pipe 114 and extends out of one end of the lower slide rail 110 through the drag chain 115 to be connected with a wiring terminal arranged outside. The drag chain 115 and the wire harness guide pipe 114 both have the function of protecting the wire.

[0071] Considering the need to replace the wire harness guide pipe 114, in the embodiment, the wire harness guide pipe 114 is detachably matched with the lower slide rail 110. Specifically, the lower slide rail 110 is provided with a matching rib 116 which extends in the same direction as the lower slide rail 110 inside the lower slide rail 110. The bottom of the wire harness guide pipe 114 is correspondingly provided with a matching groove. The matching rib 116 is embedded in the matching groove and slidably matched with the matching groove. In actual application, when the front cover plate 161 or the rear cover plate 162 is not assembled, the wire harness guide pipe 114 can be slid into or out of the lower slide rail 110 along the matching rib 116.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 for the structural schematic diagram of the upper slide rail 120 in one perspective.

[0073] To realize the locking of the center console 140 at different positions on the lower slide rail 110, the center console movement mechanism 100 provided in the embodiment further comprises a locking mechanism 130 arranged on the upper slide rail 120. The locking mechanism 130 has a locking state and an unlocking state which can be switched by force. In the locking state, the locking mechanism 130 cooperates with the lower slide rail 110 to lock the upper slide rail 120, that is, to realize the locking of the center console 140. In the unlocking state, the locking mechanism 130 is disengaged from the lower slide rail 110 to unlock the upper slide rail 120, that is, to realize the unlocking of the center console 140.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 It is shown that the locking mechanism 130 in the locking state is an exploded schematic view, Figure 9 It is shown that the locking mechanism 130 in the unlocking state is a partial structure schematic view.

[0075] The locking mechanism 130 comprises a housing 131, a linkage 132 and a plurality of locking pieces 133. The housing 131 is mounted on the upper slide rail 120, the plurality of locking pieces 133 are movably arranged in the housing 131, and the linkage 132 cooperates with the plurality of locking pieces 133 to drive the plurality of locking pieces 133 to move from the locking state to the unlocking state by force. In the locking state, at least part of the locking pieces 133 cooperates with the lower slide rail 110 to lock the upper slide rail 120; in the unlocking state, all the locking pieces 133 are disengaged from the lower slide rail 110 to unlock the upper slide rail 120.

[0076] For the installation of the plurality of locking pieces 133 on the housing 131, in the embodiment, the housing 131 has a plurality of parallelly arranged slide ways 1311, the extension direction of each slide way 1311 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the lower slide rail 110, and the plurality of locking pieces 133 are respectively slidably arranged in the plurality of slide ways 1311, so as to move from the locking state to the unlocking state, or from the unlocking state to the locking state.

[0077] In the locking state, at least part of the plurality of locking pieces 133 extends out of the corresponding slide way 1311 and cooperates with the lower slide rail 110, so as to fix the center console 140 at the current position. When it is needed to adjust the position of the center console 140, an acting force is applied to the linkage 132 to drive the linkage 132 to retract all the locking pieces 133 into the corresponding slide ways 1311, so as to disengage from the lower slide rail 110 and switch to the unlocking state.

[0078] To ensure smooth movement of the linkage 132, i.e. to smoothly switch the plurality of locking members 133 to the unlocked state, in the embodiment, the linkage 132 has a guide groove 1321, the extension direction of the guide groove 1321 is parallel to the extension direction of the slide 1311, i.e. perpendicular to the extension direction of the lower slide rail 110, and the shell 131 has a guide portion that slidably cooperates with the guide groove 1321.

[0079] Through the sliding cooperation of the guide portion and the guide groove 1321, the sliding track of the linkage 132 is accurately limited, avoiding the linkage 132 from being stuck during sliding, thereby smoothly sliding the plurality of locking members 133 in the respective corresponding slides 1311, ensuring smooth switching of the locking mechanism 130. In other embodiments, other cooperation structures can be used to limit the movement track of the linkage 132, for example, the guide portion is arranged on the linkage 132, and the guide groove 1321 is arranged on the shell 131.

[0080] The locking mechanism 130 provided in the embodiment further includes a plurality of elastic return members 136, which are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the plurality of locking members 133. One end of each elastic return member 136 abuts against the corresponding locking member 133, and the other end abuts against the shell 131, for driving the plurality of locking members 133 to move to the locked state when the force applied to the linkage 132 is removed.

[0081] It can be understood that during the process of the upper slide rail 120 driving the center console 140 to slide along the lower slide rail 110, the locking members 133 remain in the unlocked state, i.e. the linkage 132 is always in a stressed state, the plurality of locking members 133 are all retracted into the respective slides 1311, and each elastic return member 136 is in a compressed state.

[0082] When the center console 140 reaches the target position, the force applied to the linkage 132 is removed, the elastic potential energy of each elastic return member 136 is released, and a pushing force is applied to the plurality of locking members 133, so that at least part of the plurality of locking members 133 extends out of the corresponding slide 1311 and cooperates with the lower slide rail 110, successfully switching to the locked state.

[0083] In the embodiment, the side wall of each locking member 133 protrudes a stop ring wall 1332, and the shell 131 further has a stop wall 1312. One end of each elastic return member 136 abuts against the stop ring wall 1332 of the corresponding locking member 133, and the other end abuts against the stop wall 1312.

[0084] In fact, one end of each of the plurality of sliding grooves 1311 is formed on one side surface of the shell 131, and the other end of each of the plurality of sliding grooves 1311 penetrates the stop wall 1312. Each of the plurality of locking members 133 penetrates the stop wall 1312 and is in sliding cooperation with the stop wall 1312. Each of the plurality of elastic return members 136 is between the stop ring wall 1332 of the corresponding locking member 133 and the stop wall 1312. During the movement of the plurality of locking members 133 from the unlocking state to the locking state, the stop ring wall 1332 gradually approaches the stop wall 1312 and extrudes the elastic return member 136 to deform.

[0085] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic return member 136 in the embodiment is a spring, which is sleeved on the outer side wall of the locking member 133. In another embodiment, the elastic return member 136 can be selected according to the actual application condition, and the cooperation structure of the elastic return member 136, the locking member 133 and the shell 131 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 Fig. 6 shows a structure schematic diagram of the cooperation structure of the linkage member 132 and the plurality of locking members 133 in one perspective, Figure 11 Fig. 7 shows a structure schematic diagram of the cooperation structure of the linkage member 132 and the plurality of locking members 133 in another perspective.

[0087] In the embodiment, the linkage member 132 has a plurality of abutting portions 1322 inserted into the gap formed between each two adjacent locking members 133, and a main body portion 1323 connecting the plurality of abutting portions 1322. The plurality of abutting portions 1322 abut against the plurality of locking members 133, so as to be able to drive the plurality of locking members 133 to move from the locking state to the unlocking state.

[0088] In fact, the guide groove 1321 is recessed on the surface of the main body portion 1323. The abutting portion 1322 and the elastic return member 136 are on opposite sides of the stop ring wall 1332. The abutting portion 1322 abuts against the side of the stop ring wall 1332 away from the stop wall 1312. The linkage member 132 pushes the stop ring wall 1332 through the abutting portion 1322, and drives the plurality of locking members 133 to move to the unlocking state.

[0089] In order to realize the limiting of the linkage member 132 and drive the plurality of locking members 133 to move accurately to the unlocking state, in the embodiment, the linkage member 132 further has a plurality of limiting portions 1324 connected with the main body portion 1323. The plurality of limiting portions 1324 are inserted into the gap formed between each two adjacent locking members 133. Each limiting portion 1324 is between the stop wall 1312 and the abutting portion 1322, and the limiting portion 1324 is used to selectively abut against the stop wall 1312.

[0090] It can be understood that in the state that the linkage 132 cooperates with the plurality of locking members 133, the plurality of limiting portions 1324 are between the stop ring walls 1332 on the locking members 133 and the stop wall 1312 on the shell 131. Therefore, in the process that the linkage 132 pushes the plurality of locking members 133 to move from the locked state to the unlocked state, the plurality of limiting portions 1324 reach the stop wall 1312 before the stop ring walls 1332 on the plurality of locking members 133 and abut against the stop wall 1312. Due to the abutting action of the stop wall 1312, the linkage 132 cannot move further, avoiding that the plurality of locking members 133 move excessively and achieving accurate positioning of the unlocked state.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , Figure 12 Fig. 4 shows a schematic view of a cooperation structure of the locking mechanism 130 and the lower slide rail 110, Figure 13 Fig. 5 shows another schematic view of a cooperation structure of the locking mechanism 130 and the lower slide rail 110.

[0092] In order to realize cooperation with the locking members 133, in the embodiment, the lower slide rail 110 is provided with a plurality of locking holes 111 which are arranged in sequence and at intervals in the extension direction of the lower slide rail 110, and in the locked state, at least part of the locking members 133 are respectively inserted into the corresponding number of locking holes 111; in the unlocked state, the plurality of locking members 133 are separated from the plurality of locking holes 111.

[0093] It can be understood that in the process that the upper slide rail 120 drives the center console 140 to slide along the lower slide rail 110, each locking member 133 remains retracted in the corresponding slide channel 1311 and moves between the plurality of locking holes 111. When the center console 140 reaches the target position and needs to be fixed, the force applied to the linkage 132 is removed, and at least part of the locking members 133 are extended out of the corresponding slide channel 1311 under the pushing force of the corresponding elastic return member 136 and are inserted into the corresponding number of locking holes 111 on the lower slide rail 110, thereby completing the locking of the upper slide rail 120.

[0094] In order to ensure that the plurality of locking members 133 can be closely cooperated with the lower slide rail 110 in the locked state and reduce the slidable stroke of the upper slide rail 120 in the locked state, in the embodiment, each locking member 133 has a tapered portion 1331 which extends perpendicularly to the extension direction of the lower slide rail 110. In the locked state, the two tapered portions 1331 are respectively inserted into the two locking holes 111 and abut against the hole walls on the side of the two locking holes 111 which are close to each other, as shown in Fig. 6; or the two tapered portions 1331 respectively abut against the hole walls on the side of the two locking holes 111 which are away from each other, as shown in Fig. 7. Figure 12 Figure 13

[0095] ​​It can be understood that the tapered portion 1331 is actually at one end of the locking member 133 extending or retracting the slide 1311, for plugging with the locking hole 111. In this embodiment, the number of locking members 133 is three, and the number of corresponding tapered portions 1331 is also three. Through the design of the size of the tapered portion 1331, the distance between adjacent tapered portions 1331, the size of the locking hole 111, and the distance between adjacent locking holes 111, it is ensured that in the locked state, two of the three tapered portions 1331 are plugged with two adjacent locking holes 111, and the remaining one tapered portion 1331 is resisted by the solid part on the lower slide rail 110.

[0096] Specifically, in the state shown in FIG. 1, the two adjacent tapered portions 1331 are plugged with the two adjacent locking holes 111, respectively, and are resisted by the hole walls on the side of the two locking holes 111 that are close to each other, respectively. Figure 12 Figure 13 In the state shown in FIG. 2, the two spaced-apart tapered portions 1331 are plugged with the two adjacent locking holes 111, respectively, and are resisted by the hole walls on the side of the two locking holes 111 that are away from each other, respectively.

[0097] To ensure the close resistance of the two adjacent tapered portions 1331 to the two locking holes 111, in this embodiment, the distance between the top ends of the two adjacent tapered portions 1331 is slightly greater than the distance between the hole walls on the side of the two adjacent locking holes 111 that are close to each other, and the distance between the bottom ends of the two adjacent tapered portions 1331 is slightly less than the distance between the hole walls on the side of the two adjacent locking holes 111 that are close to each other.

[0098] To ensure the close resistance of the two spaced-apart tapered portions 1331 to the two locking holes 111, in this embodiment, the distance between the top ends of the two spaced-apart tapered portions 1331 is less than the distance between the hole walls on the side of the two adjacent locking holes 111 that are away from each other, and the distance between the bottom ends of the two spaced-apart tapered portions 1331 is greater than the distance between the hole walls on the side of the two adjacent locking holes 111 that are away from each other.

[0099] Therefore, in actual application, when the upper slide rail 120 stops at any position of the lower slide rail 110 and the force applied to the linkage 132 is removed, the plurality of locking members 133 can always cooperate with the lower slide rail 110 in the state shown in one of FIGS. 1 and 2 under the pushing force of the corresponding elastic return member 136, to complete the close locking of the upper slide 1311. Figure 12 and Figure 13

[0100] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 ​​The locking mechanism 130 provided in the embodiment further comprises an unlocking rocker arm 134 and a pull cable 135. The unlocking rocker arm 134 is rotatably arranged on the housing 131 and cooperates with the linkage 132. The pull cable 135 is connected with the unlocking rocker arm 134 and is configured to be pulled to rotate the unlocking rocker arm 134, so that the unlocking rocker arm 134 applies force to the linkage 132 to drive the plurality of locking pieces 133 to move from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0101] As a preferred example, the unlocking rocker arm 134 in the embodiment is L-shaped, one end of which abuts against the side of the main body part 1323 of the linkage 132 away from the stop wall 1312, and the other end of which is connected with the pull cable 135. The corner position between the two ends is rotatably connected with the housing 131. When the pull cable 135 is pulled, a pulling force is applied to the one end of the unlocking rocker arm 134, which is substantially parallel to the extending direction of the lower slide rail 110, so as to drive the unlocking rocker arm 134 to rotate relative to the housing 131. The other end of the unlocking rocker arm 134 applies a pushing force to the linkage 132, which is substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the lower slide rail 110, so as to drive the linkage 132 to push the plurality of locking pieces 133 to slide along the respective slide tracks 1311 to the unlocked state.

[0102] In the embodiment, the linkage 132 is configured to drive the plurality of locking pieces 133 to move synchronously, so that only one unlocking rocker arm 134 and one pull cable 135 are provided, and the structure of the locking mechanism 130 and the whole center console movement mechanism 100 is simple and compact.

[0103] It should be noted that, for the unlocking operation, the pull cable 135 can be manually pulled by a person, for example, a movable handgrip structure can be arranged on the center console 140, and the handgrip structure is connected with the end of the pull cable 135 away from the unlocking rocker arm 134. Alternatively, a unlocking device can be configured to pull the pull cable 135 instead of a person, and the unlocking device can be an electric motor.

[0104] In other embodiments, the number of unlocking rocker arms 134 and pull cables 135 can be adjusted according to actual application requirements. For example, please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 , Figure 14 Fig. 6 shows a structural schematic view of a locking mechanism 130 provided in another embodiment, and Figure 15 Fig. 7 shows an exploded view of the locking mechanism 130.

[0105] In the embodiment, the number of unlocking rocker arms 134 and pull cables 135 is two. The two unlocking rocker arms 134 are rotatably arranged on the housing 131 and cooperate with the linkage 132. The two pull cables 135 are connected with the two unlocking rocker arms 134 one by one, forming two unlocking units. The linkage 132 is configured to drive the plurality of locking pieces 133 to move under the drive of any one of the two unlocking units.

[0106] It can be understood that in actual applications, the two cables 135 can be arranged at different positions in the passenger compartment of the vehicle respectively away from one end of the corresponding unlocking rocker arm 134, so that unlocking operations can be performed at two different positions in the passenger compartment.

[0107] For example, one of the cables 135 can be arranged on the center console 140 corresponding to one side of the front row of the passenger compartment to facilitate unlocking operations by the front row passengers. The remaining cable 135 is arranged on the center console 140 corresponding to one side of the rear row of the passenger compartment to facilitate unlocking operations by the rear row passengers.

[0108] In other embodiments, more unlocking rocker arms 134 and cables 135 can be configured according to actual application requirements to form more unlocking units.

[0109] Referring back to Figure 16 , Figure 16 Fig. 8 shows a structural schematic view of another locking mechanism 130 provided in other embodiments.

[0110] The locking mechanism 130 in this embodiment includes one unlocking rocker arm 134 and two cables 135, both of which are connected to the unlocking rocker arm 134, and the unlocking rocker arm 134 can rotate under the force of any one cable 135.

[0111] Similarly, the locking mechanism 130 provided in this embodiment can also enable unlocking operations at two different positions in the passenger compartment by arranging the two cables 135 respectively away from one end of the corresponding unlocking rocker arm 134 at different positions in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

[0112] In other embodiments, more cables 135 can be configured according to actual application requirements on the basis of the locking mechanism 130 shown in Figure 16 Fig. 8.

[0113] For reference, please refer to Figure 17 , Figure 17 Fig. 9 shows a structural schematic view of the upper slide rail 120 from another perspective.

[0114] The center console movement mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment further includes a tensioning mechanism 150 installed on the upper slide rail 120 and cooperating with the lower slide rail 110 to ensure smooth sliding of the upper slide rail 120 on the lower slide rail 110, avoiding jolts and abnormal noises during sliding.

[0115] For reference, please refer to Figure 18 , Figure 18 Fig. 10 shows a connection structural schematic view of the tensioning mechanism 150, the upper slide rail 120 and the lower slide rail 110.

[0116] The tensioning mechanism 150 comprises a connecting bracket 151 and a supporting roller 152. The connecting bracket 151 is connected with the upper slide rail 120, and the supporting roller 152 is rotatably arranged on the connecting bracket 151. The lower slide rail 110 has a supporting bottom wall 112, and the supporting roller 152 is in contact with the supporting bottom wall 112. It can be understood that when the upper slide rail 120 is subjected to a force, the supporting roller 152 rolls on the supporting bottom wall 112, so as to realize the sliding of the upper slide rail 120 on the lower slide rail 110.

[0117] The tensioning mechanism 150 further comprises a limiting roller 153 rotatably arranged on the connecting bracket 151. The lower slide rail 110 further has a limiting top wall 113 above the supporting bottom wall 112 and opposite to the supporting bottom wall 112. There is a gap between the supporting roller 152 and the limiting top wall 113. The limiting roller 153 is in contact with the limiting top wall 113 and there is a gap between the limiting roller 153 and the supporting bottom wall 112.

[0118] Similarly, when the upper slide rail 120 is subjected to a force, the limiting roller 153 rolls on the limiting top wall 113. Since there is a gap between the supporting roller 152 and the limiting top wall 113, the rolling process of the supporting roller 152 on the supporting bottom wall 112 is not interfered by the limiting top wall 113. Since there is a gap between the limiting roller 153 and the supporting bottom wall 112, the rolling process of the limiting roller 153 on the limiting top wall 113 is not interfered by the supporting bottom wall 112.

[0119] In the embodiment, the line between the rotation center of the limiting roller 153 and the rotation center of the supporting roller 152 forms a tensioning angle with the height direction of the lower slide rail 110,The angle α in the formula is the tensioning angle. The tensioning mechanism 150 further comprises an elastic tensioning piece 154. The connecting bracket 151 is connected with the upper slide rail 120 through the elastic tensioning piece 154. The elastic tensioning piece 154 continuously applies a force to the connecting bracket 151, so that the connecting bracket 151 has a tendency to rotate around the rotation center of the supporting roller 152 in a direction in which the tensioning angle decreases. As a preferred example, the elastic tensioning piece 154 in the embodiment is a spring, which is fixed to the upper slide rail 120 through a rivet 193. Figure 18 Since the connecting bracket 151 has a tendency to rotate around the rotation center of the supporting roller 152 in a direction in which the tensioning angle decreases under the action of the elastic tensioning piece 154, the supporting roller 152 and the limiting roller 153 are kept in close contact with the supporting bottom wall 112 and the limiting top wall 113, respectively, under the driving of the connecting bracket 151, so as to realize reliable limiting of the upper slide rail 120 in the height direction of the lower slide rail 110, avoid jumping of the upper slide rail 120 in the height direction of the lower slide rail 110, and thus ensure smooth movement of the upper slide rail 120 on the lower slide rail 110.

[0120]

[0121] It should be noted that in order to realize the tensioning of the upper slide rail 120 in the prior art, the supporting roller 152 and the limiting roller 153 are respectively installed on two different supports, the support on which the supporting roller 152 is installed is fixed, and the support on which the limiting roller 153 is installed is rotatable relative to the upper slide rail 120, and the rotatable support is configured with a torsion spring to drive the limiting roller 153 to keep abutting against the lower slide rail 110.

[0122] In the embodiment, the supporting roller 152 and the limiting roller 153 are installed on the same connecting support 151, and the connecting support 151 always has a tendency to rotate around the rotation center of the supporting roller 152 under the action of the elastic tensioning member 154, thereby realizing the tensioning of the upper slide rail 120. It can be seen that, compared with the prior art, the tensioning mechanism 150 in the embodiment has a simpler structure, the number of parts is reduced, and has the advantages of more stable and reliable tensioning effect.

[0123] The upper slide rail 120 of the center console movement mechanism 100 provided in the embodiment can be driven by manpower or automatically driven by configuring a driving device. In the scenario of being applied to the manpower driving, the center console movement mechanism 100 can further include a damping mechanism 190, which is arranged on the upper slide rail 120 and cooperates with the lower slide rail 110 to provide a damping effect for the sliding process of the upper slide rail 120, thereby improving the user experience.

[0124] Specifically, please refer to Figure 19 , Figure 19 for the connection structure diagram of the damping mechanism 190, the upper slide rail 120 and the lower slide rail 110.

[0125] In the embodiment, the damping mechanism 190 includes a damping block 191 and an elastic abutting member 192, the elastic abutting member 192 is connected with the upper slide rail 120, and the damping block 191 is arranged on the elastic abutting member 192. The elastic abutting member 192 continuously applies a force to the damping block 191 to make the damping block 191 continuously abut against the lower slide rail 110.

[0126] As a preferred, the elastic abutting member 192 in the embodiment is also a spring, and the two ends thereof are fixed to the upper slide rail 120 through rivets 193. The damping block 191 is arranged between the two ends of the spring and keeps abutting against the lower slide rail 110 under the action of the elastic force of the spring, thereby providing a damping feeling for the sliding of the upper slide rail 120 driven by manpower.

[0127] In fact, the locking mechanism 130 of the center console moving mechanism 100 provided in the embodiment is used to lock or unlock the upper slide rail 120 in the horizontal direction, which is actually the width direction of the lower slide rail 110. In other words, a plurality of locking holes 111 are arranged on one side surface of the lower slide rail 110 in the width direction, and the locking member 133 is used to move in the width direction of the lower slide rail 110 to be inserted into or separated from the locking hole 111.

[0128] In another embodiment, a locking assembly 170 can also be configured to lock and unlock the upper slide rail 120 in the height direction of the lower slide rail 110. For example, please refer to Figure 20 and Figure 21 , Figure 20 The connection structure between the locking assembly 170 provided in other embodiments and the upper slide rail 120 and the lower slide rail 110 is shown in Figure 21 , Figure 20 The structure of the locking assembly 170 in

[0129] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 170 includes a lock body 171, a tension spring 172, and an unlocking pin 173. The lock body 171 is suspended in the inner side of the top wall of the upper slide rail 120 by the tension spring 172. The lock body 171 has a plurality of locking teeth 1711 arranged at intervals in the extension direction of the lower slide rail 110. The lower slide rail 110 has a plurality of matching teeth 117 engaged with the plurality of locking teeth 1711. The top wall of the upper slide rail 120 is provided with a clearance hole 121. One end of the unlocking pin 173 is connected with the lock body 171, and the other end extends out through the clearance hole 121.

[0130] Under the condition of no external force, the plurality of locking teeth 1711 and the plurality of matching teeth 117 are engaged to achieve the locking of the upper slide rail 120. When it is necessary to unlock the upper slide rail 120, a downward pressure is applied to the unlocking pin 173 to push the lock body 171 to move downward so that the plurality of locking teeth 1711 and the plurality of matching teeth 117 are disengaged to achieve the unlocking of the upper slide rail 120. During the unlocking process, the tension spring 172 is elongated and accumulates elastic potential energy. When the downward pressure applied to the unlocking pin 173 is removed, the tension spring 172 releases the elastic potential energy to pull the lock body 171 to move upward so that the plurality of locking teeth 1711 and the plurality of matching teeth 117 are engaged to restore the locking of the upper slide rail 120.

[0131] Similarly, in practical application, the downward pressure applied to the unlocking pin 173 can be manually applied by human, or can be replaced by a locking device. For example, in this embodiment, a locking pressing plate 181 and a synchronization rod 182 connected with each other are also configured. The synchronization rod 182 is connected with the locking device. The locking device can be a motor which can drive the synchronization rod 182 to rotate to drive the locking pressing plate 181 to press the unlocking pin 173 to achieve automatic unlocking.

[0132] In order to ensure the smoothness of the unlocking process and the locking process, the locking assembly 170 provided by the embodiment further comprises an elastic buffer 174 arranged between the lock body 171 and the top wall of the upper slide rail 120, and the unlocking pin 173 passes through the elastic buffer 174. The elastic buffer 174 is used for elastically abutting and limiting the lock body 171, so as to absorb the excess kinetic energy of the upward movement of the lock body 171 in the locking process, so that the lock body 171 maintains a stable state, and the locking teeth 1711 and the matching teeth 117 are prevented from colliding to cause jamming and noise.

[0133] Similarly, in order to ensure that the locking teeth 1711 can be tightly matched with the locking teeth 1711 on the lower slide rail 110 in the locking process, and reduce the slidable stroke of the upper slide rail 120 after the locking is completed, at least one locking tooth 1711 in the embodiment has a tapered surface 1712 at both ends in the extension direction of the lower slide rail 110, so as to be tightly abutted with the corresponding matching teeth 117 through the tapered surface 1712.

[0134] In summary, the center console movement mechanism 100 provided by the embodiment has a locking mechanism 130 with a more simple and compact structure, the unlocking action is smoother, and multi-position unlocking can be achieved, which is more suitable for a wider range of scenarios and provides a better user experience. In addition, the slidable stroke of the upper slide rail 120 in the locked state is effectively reduced, so that better structural stability in the locked state is ensured.

[0135] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various changes and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
