Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive armrest technology, and in particular relates to a structure for preventing abnormal noise in a split armrest. Background Technology
[0002] The center armrest of a car, also known as a car armrest, was originally designed to provide elbow support for passengers. Later, it evolved into an in-car storage box, including an armrest panel, which facilitates conversation, work, and reading documents.
[0003] The upper and lower covers of a car armrest are fixed together by welding, with the lower cover moving with the upper cover. A pivot hole runs through the armrest frame base and the upper cover, keeping the armrest frame base and pivot stationary while the upper cover moves around the pivot. A certain gap needs to be maintained between the upper cover's pivot hole and the pivot to ensure proper opening and use. However, due to this gap, a collision noise occurs between the upper cover's pivot hole and the pivot when the vehicle is test-driven on cobblestone or other rough roads. Typically, to solve this noise problem, the gap between the pivot and the pivot hole needs to be adjusted to 0.02mm, which places excessively high demands on welding processes and injection molds, making it difficult to achieve. Therefore, this invention proposes a noise-preventing structure for split-opening armrests to address the aforementioned problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a structure for preventing abnormal noise in a split handrail, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a structure for preventing abnormal noise in a split handrail, comprising an upper handrail cover, a lower handrail cover, and a handrail base;
[0006] The upper cover of the armrest is provided with two pivots, and the base of the armrest is provided with four lugs arranged in a matrix. Each end of the pivot passes through one lug. The lower cover of the armrest is provided with a through hole and a boss. The boss is connected to the base of the armrest, and the through hole is concentric with the pivot.
[0007] When the handrail is in the closed state, the lower cover of the handrail and the handrail base are locked. At this time, the boss applies pressure to the handrail base, increasing the friction between the lower cover of the handrail and the handrail base, preventing the handrail from moving in the Y direction, and at the same time preventing the lower cover of the handrail, the handrail base and the pivot from colliding and vibrating with each other.
[0008] Preferably, the upper armrest cover and the lower armrest cover are fixed by welding and snap-fitting.
[0009] Preferably, the armrest cover is provided with a shaft hole, a damper is provided in the shaft hole, and the rotating shaft passes through the damper.
[0010] Preferably, a torsion spring is fitted onto the end of the rotating shaft away from the damper.
[0011] Preferably, it also includes a locking tongue, which locks the upper cover and lower cover of the armrest when the armrest is in the closed state, and the torsion spring is in a torsional and taut state at this time.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This structure includes an upper armrest cover, a lower armrest cover, and an armrest base. The lower armrest cover has a through hole and a boss, which connects to the armrest base. The through hole is concentric with the pivot. When the split armrest is closed, the armrest cover is locked by a latch, and the torsion spring is in a torsional tension. The lower armrest cover and the armrest base are locked together. At this time, the boss applies pressure to the armrest base, increasing the friction between the lower armrest cover and the armrest base, preventing the armrest from moving in the Y direction, and preventing the lower armrest cover, the armrest base, and the pivot from colliding and vibrating. By controlling the shaking and noise through the structure, the welding process requirements are reduced, the condition is more stable during mass production, and there is no need to repeatedly check and match the pivot hole, reducing mold requirements and costs.
