Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interiors, specifically to a soft rubber pad and a door panel armrest box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, car door panels have an armrest box on the inside. This armrest box can be used to rest one's arm, providing support for the driver and passengers and improving their comfort. It also features a storage slot for small items, enhancing convenience and making it easy to grip and open / close the door panel.

[0003] Currently, a soft rubber pad is placed in the storage compartment. This soft rubber pad is quite flexible. By placing a soft rubber pad at the bottom of the storage compartment, the bottom of the compartment is more comfortable to hold when the hand is gripping the door panel armrest box, which improves the tactile feel. On the other hand, when small items are placed in the storage compartment, the soft rubber pad reduces the impact noise between the small items and the bottom of the storage compartment during vehicle bumps, thus reducing abnormal noises.

[0004] However, the conventional way to set up soft rubber mats is to simply lay them flat at the bottom of the placement slot without any fixing between the mat and the slot. This poses a risk that the mat may become loose and slide, and during vehicle use, passengers or children may easily pry it out of the slot. The mat is also easily played with or discarded by children. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a soft rubber pad and a door panel armrest box to solve the problem that the soft rubber pad is prone to loosening and sliding at the bottom of the placement groove.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a soft rubber pad, comprising a pad body, wherein a downwardly bent fixing piece is integrally fixed to the end of the pad body.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a door panel armrest box, including a box body, a placement groove on the box body, the box body being divided into a front part and a rear part, the front part and the rear part being detachably connected, the placement groove being surrounded by the front part and the rear part after being assembled; a soft rubber pad of the present application is placed in the placement groove, the pad being placed at the bottom of the placement groove; a fixing piece is clamped between the bottom end face of the front part and the rear part.

[0008] The principle and advantages of this application are as follows: The inventor of this application designed a soft rubber pad with a fixing plate. The fixing plate is bent downwards and placed in the placement groove. Since the box body is composed of a detachable connection between the front and rear parts, the fixing plate can be placed between the bottom end face of the front part and the rear part during the assembly process. After the front and rear parts are assembled and fixed, the fixing plate is clamped by the bottom end face of the front part and the rear part, thereby fixing the soft rubber pad. The soft rubber pad will not loosen or slide in the placement groove, which can effectively prevent the soft rubber pad from falling out of the placement groove and being lost, thus improving the quality of the automotive interior.

[0009] In the initial stages of research, the inventors attempted various structures and methods to fix the soft rubber pad, but the results were unsatisfactory or difficult to implement. For example, directly gluing the soft rubber pad to the bottom of the placement groove resulted in poor adhesion and the possibility of detachment later. If the fixing plate was placed on the bottom surface of the pad, it would be located on the larger surface area of ​​the pad, leading to shrinkage during injection molding due to factors such as injection pressure and injection speed. This would result in pits on the surface of the pad after injection molding, affecting its appearance. In contrast, the fixing plate in this application is located at the end of the pad, not on the larger surface area, preventing shrinkage and ensuring a good appearance. Furthermore, the fixing plate in this application is bent downwards at the end of the pad, and its flat, smooth surface allows for normal demolding after injection molding, preventing structural deformation or breakage of the soft rubber pad. Therefore, the structure of this application facilitates demolding of the soft rubber pad. Meanwhile, the soft rubber pad in this application is easy to repair and replace later. When it is necessary to repair or replace the soft rubber pad in the placement slot, simply loosen the front and back of the box to easily remove the soft rubber pad from the placement slot and replace it.

[0010] Therefore, in this application, the inventors improved the structure of the soft rubber pad by setting a downwardly bent fixing piece at the end of the pad body. The fixing piece is clamped by the bottom end face of the front part of the box and the rear part of the box to fix the soft rubber pad, thus solving the problem that the soft rubber pad is easy to slide, loosen and fall off in the placement groove.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement to the soft rubber pad, the number of fixing pieces is 2-3. Therefore, the number of fixing pieces is appropriate. If only one fixing piece is used, the stability of the pad will be affected; if more fixing pieces are used, it will be inconvenient to assemble and fix the soft rubber pad in the placement groove.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement to the soft rubber pad, the lateral width of the fixing piece is 3-10mm.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement to the soft rubber pad, the vertical length of the fixing piece is 8-15mm.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement to the soft rubber pad, the length of the pad body is 150-350mm.

[0015] Therefore, this application uses the above-mentioned parameters of the fixing plate, and the size of the fixing plate is appropriate, which can not only fix the soft rubber pad, but also facilitate the assembly and subsequent maintenance of the soft rubber pad. If the parameters of the fixing plate are not within the above range, the volume of the fixing plate may be too small or too large, which would make it inconvenient to assemble and fix the soft rubber pad in the placement groove.

[0016] Preferably, as an improvement to the door panel armrest box, a protrusion is provided at the rear of the box for pressing the fixing piece. Thus, the protrusion can press the fixing piece, and the protrusion design ensures an interference fit between the bottom front end face of the box, the fixing piece, and the rear of the box, thereby guaranteeing the fixing effect of the fixing piece and preventing the soft rubber pad from falling off.

[0017] Preferably, as an improvement to the door panel armrest box, the front and rear parts of the box are detachably connected by screws or bolts. This detachable connection method using screws or bolts facilitates installation and is simple and convenient to operate.

[0018] Preferably, as an improvement to the door panel armrest box, the front of the box is provided with a fixing post for fixing screws or bolts, and the fixing post is fixedly located on the bottom end face of the front of the box.

[0019] Thus, screws or bolts pass through the rear of the box and are screwed into the fixing post, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the front and rear of the box. Since the fixing post is fixed to the bottom end face of the front of the box, the fixing force of the screws or bolts can be directly applied to the bottom end face of the front of the box. The bottom end face of the front of the box directly bears the force and clamps the fixing piece, thereby ensuring the clamping and fixing effect of the bottom end face of the front of the box on the fixing piece.

[0020] Preferably, as an improvement to the door panel armrest box, the door panel interior trim panel serves as the rear of the box. Thus, the door panel interior trim panel can directly function as the rear of the box. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0027] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: rear of box 1, pad 2, front of box 3, fixing plate 4, bottom end face 5, fixing post 6, screw 7, protrusion 8, placement groove 9.

[0028] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figures 1-5 As shown.

[0029] Combination Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a soft rubber pad, which is made of rubber and includes a pad body 2. The pad body 2 has a thickness of 1-3 mm and a length of 150-350 mm, specifically 200 mm in this embodiment. A downwardly bent fixing piece 4 is integrally fixed to the end of the pad body 2. The number of fixing pieces 4 is 2-3, and the number of fixing pieces 4 in this embodiment is two. The horizontal width of the two fixing pieces 4 is 3-10 mm, specifically 5 mm in this embodiment. The vertical length of the fixing piece 4 is 8-15 mm, specifically 10 mm in this embodiment. The thickness of the fixing piece 4 is 1-3 mm.

[0030] Combination Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a door panel armrest box, including a box body with a placement groove 9. The box body is divided into a front part 3 and a rear part 1. In this embodiment, the rear part 1 is part of the door panel interior panel of the car. The front part 3 and the rear part 1 are detachably connected (for example, specifically by screws 7 or bolts). After the front part 3 and the rear part 1 are detachably connected, the placement groove 9 is surrounded by the front part 3 and the rear part 1. Therefore, when this door panel armrest box is used in a car, the person holding it can place their arm or hand on the front part 3 for support. The placement groove 9 facilitates the hand gripping the front part 3, thereby facilitating the opening and closing of the car door panel.

[0031] In this embodiment, a soft rubber pad of this embodiment is placed in the placement groove 9, and the pad body 2 is placed at the bottom of the placement groove 9; combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, before the front part 3 and the rear part 1 of the box are connected, the pad 2 is placed at the bottom of the placement groove 9, and the fixing piece 4 is located at the bottom end face 5 of the front part 3. Then, the front part 3 and the rear part 1 of the box are detachably connected. The bottom end face 5 of the front part 3 and the rear part 1 of the box are tightly abutted together. The fixing piece 4 is clamped between the bottom end face 5 of the front part 3 and the rear part 1 of the box, thereby fixing the soft rubber pad. The soft rubber pad is not easy to slide, loosen or fall off from the placement groove 9.

[0032] To ensure effective clamping of the fixing piece 4 and improve clamping stability, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the rear part 1 of the box is provided with a protrusion 8 for pressing the fixing piece 4. The height of the protrusion 8 is 1mm. The protrusion 8 is opposite to the bottom end face 5 of the front part 3 of the box. In this way, after the front part 3 of the box and the rear part 1 of the box are assembled together, the protrusion 8 and the bottom end face 5 of the front part 3 of the box tightly clamp the fixing piece 4, thereby improving the clamping and fixing effect of the fixing piece 4.

[0033] To further improve the clamping and fixing effect of the fixing piece 4, multiple fixing posts 6 are provided on the bottom end face 5 of the front part 3 of the box in this embodiment. The multiple fixing posts 6 are arranged horizontally, and the fixing piece 4 is located between two adjacent fixing posts 6. After the front part 3 and the rear part 1 of the box are assembled together, screws 7 or bolts are used to pass through the back of the rear part 1 and threaded onto the fixing posts 6, thereby realizing the connection between the front part 3 and the rear part 1 of the box. At this time, the fixing force of the screws 7 or bolts is directly applied to the bottom end face 5 of the front part 3 of the box. The bottom end face 5 of the front part 3 of the box is directly subjected to force to clamp the fixing piece 4, thereby ensuring the fixing effect of the fixing piece 4.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the rear part 1 of the box is used as the interior panel of the car door panel. Of course, in other embodiments, the rear part 1 of the box is not used as the interior panel of the door panel. The rear part 1 of the box adopts a structure independent of the interior panel of the door panel. When the rear part 1 of the box and the rear part 1 of the box are connected as a whole to form the door armrest box, the rear part 1 of the door armrest box is then fixedly installed on the interior panel of the car door panel.
