The horizontal adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the position of the armrest box 1 along a first direction in the horizontal plane; the vertical adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the position of the armrest box 1 along a second direction in the vertical plane; the vertical swing mechanism is used to rotate the armrest box 1 around a third direction in the horizontal plane to adjust the tilt angle of the armrest box 1; the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. This application provides the posture adjustment function of the armrest box 1 by setting a posture adjustment mechanism, thereby enabling adaptive adjustment of the armrest box's front-to-back position, height, and tilt angle according to different drivers, improving operational comfort.

[0034] Specifically, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction form a spatial coordinate system, so that the horizontal adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the front and rear position of the armrest box 1, the vertical adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the height position of the armrest box 1, and the vertical swing mechanism is used to drive the armrest box 1 to rotate up and down to adjust the pitch angle of the armrest box 1.

[0035] Preferably, the horizontal adjustment mechanism includes: a first guide assembly 21, a first locking device 22, and a first connecting plate 23. The first guide assembly 21 connects to the first connecting plate 23 and restricts the movement of the first connecting plate 23 along a first direction. The first locking device 22 is used to lock the position of the first connecting plate 23. The first connecting plate 23 is connected to the vertical adjustment mechanism. The first connecting plate 23 moves back and forth under the guidance of the first guide assembly 21 and is then locked by the first locking device 22, thus accommodating the arm spans of drivers of different heights.

[0036] Specifically, the first guide assembly 21 adopts a linear guide rail, and the slider of the linear guide rail is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 23 by a first set of screws, so that the first connecting plate 23 slides along the guide rail with the slider. In this embodiment, the first guide assembly 21 adopts two sets of linear guide rails, and each set of linear guide rails is provided with two sliders connected to the first connecting plate 23.

[0037] Specifically, the first locking device 22 uses a set screw, which is screwed into the slider of the linear guide. When the set screw is tightened, it presses against the guide to lock the slider, thereby locking the position of the first connecting plate 23.

[0038] Preferably, the vertical adjustment mechanism includes a second guide assembly 31, a second locking device 32, and a second connecting plate 33. The second guide assembly 31 connects to the second connecting plate 33 and restricts the movement of the second connecting plate 33 in a second direction.

[0048] Specifically, a baffle 423 is fixedly installed on the side plate of the connecting seat 41. The baffle 423 is opposite to the fixing block 421. After the head of the adjusting bolt 422 protrudes, it presses against the side of the baffle 423 to apply torque to the connecting seat 41. The fixing block 421 is located at the edge of the second connecting plate 33. After the head of the adjusting bolt 422 retracts into the fixing block 421, the side of the baffle 423 abuts against the fixing block 421, at which point the top plate of the connecting seat 41 is horizontal. In this embodiment, the adjusting bolt 422 is a hand-tightening bolt.

[0049] Preferably, the vertical swing mechanism further includes a second floating component 43, which is used to support and buffer the connecting seat 41, and assists in pitch adjustment and prevents the adjusting bolt 422 from being damaged by impact.

[0050] Specifically, the lower end of the second floating component 43 is mounted on the outside of the second connecting plate 33 via a hinge seat, and the upper end is mounted on the bottom of the top plate of the connecting seat 41 via a hinge seat.

[0051] Specifically, both the first floating component 34 and the second floating component 43 employ gas springs.

[0054] Specifically, the armrest box 1 is rotatably connected to the top plate of the connecting seat 41 via a rotating shaft assembly 51. The T-shaped shaft of this rotating shaft assembly 51 passes through the bottom of the armrest box 1 and the top plate of the connecting seat 41 in sequence from inside the armrest box 1 and is fitted with a locking sleeve.

[0055] Specifically, a friction pad is provided between the bottom of the armrest box 1 and the top plate of the connecting seat 41 for smooth rotation of the armrest box 1.
