Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior parts technology, and in particular to a structure for the cooperation of an upper guide rail and a lower guide rail. Background Technology

[0002] The center console, an important component of the automotive interior system, was originally designed to provide elbow support for occupants and enhance passenger comfort. However, with the rapid development of automotive technology, especially the widespread application of automation and intelligent technologies, the function and form of the center console are constantly evolving. Traditionally, the center console is usually fixed in place, but with the rise of intelligent cockpits, designers have begun to explore designing movable center consoles to accommodate the needs of different drivers and passengers.

[0003] In the design of movable armrests in automobiles, the moving structure located in the middle of the armrest typically uses a sliding assembly. Existing sliding assemblies usually consist of a fixed platform and a sliding platform, which are connected by an upper guide rail and a lower guide rail for sliding engagement.

[0004] Although the existing sliding components can realize the basic movement function of the armrest box, there are still some issues that need to be optimized in actual use. The cooperation between the upper and lower guide rails is not flexible enough, which makes the armrest box move less smoothly and affects the user's operating experience. Moreover, long-term use may lead to wear and tear of parts, abnormal noise, and even affect the structural stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the upper and lower guide rails in the existing moving structure of the armrest box at the middle position are not flexible enough, resulting in the armrest box not moving smoothly, which may cause component wear and abnormal noise after long-term use, and the movement process is not stable.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An upper guide rail and a lower guide rail mating structure are disclosed. The mating structure is installed on the upper guide rail and serves as a sliding medium between the upper and lower guide rails. The mating structure includes a support wheel and a rocking wheel. The support wheel is used to support the upper guide rail to slide on the lower guide rail, and the rocking wheel is used for sliding buffering between the upper and lower guide rails.

[0008] Preferably, the upper guide rail is located on the sliding platform, the lower guide rail is located on the fixed platform, and the support wheel includes a first roller, a second roller, and a side roller. The first roller and the second roller are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the upper guide rail, and the side roller is located on the side of the upper guide rail. Through the first roller and the second roller, the friction between the upper guide rail and the lower guide rail can be effectively reduced, making the sliding process smoother.

[0009] Preferably, there are multiple rollers one and two, and the rocking wheels are located at the two ends of the upper guide rail. Roller one is located between the two rocking wheels. The multiple rollers one and two can more evenly distribute the weight and external force of the sliding platform. The rocking wheels at the two ends of the upper guide rail can adapt to the unevenness or slight deformation that may occur in the lower guide rail during manufacturing, installation or long-term use. Moreover, the rocking wheels can automatically adjust their angle according to the actual surface of the lower guide rail to ensure close contact with the lower guide rail, further improving the smoothness of sliding, avoiding the jamming phenomenon caused by the unevenness of the guide rail surface, and ensuring the stability of the armrest box during movement.

[0010] Preferably, the upper guide rail is provided with a movable hole to provide space for the rocking wheel to move. The rocking wheel is located in the movable hole. When the rocking wheel encounters an uneven surface of the lower guide rail, it can swing freely and adjust its angle within the movable hole. The rocking wheel can reduce the sliding resistance caused by defects on the guide rail surface, ensuring that the sliding platform remains smooth throughout the entire movement process.

[0011] Preferably, the side roller includes a mounting frame, a roller three, and a mounting groove. The roller three is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove, and the mounting frame is mounted on the side of the upper guide rail. The side roller can further improve the stability of the upper guide rail and lower guide rail mating structure. During the movement of the sliding platform, the side roller can effectively prevent the guide rail from shifting or shaking in the lateral direction by laterally limiting the upper guide rail and lower guide rail.

[0012] Preferably, roller one and roller two are attached to the upper and lower sides of the lower guide rail respectively, the side roller is attached to the side of the lower guide rail, and roller three can reduce the side friction between the upper and lower guide rails.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] By setting roller one and roller two between the upper and lower guide rails, and having them respectively fit against the upper and lower sides of the lower guide rail, sliding friction can be converted into rolling friction, greatly reducing the friction between the upper and lower guide rails. This makes the sliding platform slide more smoothly on the fixed platform. Furthermore, by setting multiple rollers, the weight and external force of the sliding platform can be distributed more evenly, ensuring the stability of the armrest box during movement.

The mating structure is installed on the upper guide rail 21 and serves as a sliding medium between the upper guide rail 21 and the lower guide rail. The mating structure includes a support wheel and a rocking wheel 6. The support wheel is used to support the upper guide rail 21 to slide on the lower guide rail, and the rocking wheel 6 is used for sliding buffering between the upper guide rail 21 and the lower guide rail.

[0027] The upper guide rail 21 is located on the sliding platform 2, and the lower guide rail is located on the fixed platform 1. The support wheels include roller 3, roller 4, and side roller 5. Roller 3 and roller 4 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the upper guide rail 21, and the side roller 5 is located on the side of the upper guide rail 21. Through roller 3 and roller 4, the friction between the upper guide rail 21 and the lower guide rail can be effectively reduced, making the sliding process smoother.

[0028] Several rollers 3 and 4 are provided. The rocking wheel 6 is located at both ends of the upper guide rail 21. Roller 3 is located between the two rocking wheels 6. The multiple rollers 3 and 4 can more evenly distribute the weight and external force of the sliding platform 2. The rocking wheels 6 at both ends of the upper guide rail 21 can adapt to the unevenness or slight deformation that may occur in the lower guide rail during manufacturing, installation or long-term use. The rocking wheels 6 can automatically adjust their angle according to the actual surface of the lower guide rail to ensure close contact with the lower guide rail, further improving the smoothness of sliding and avoiding jamming caused by uneven guide rail surface, thus ensuring the stability of the armrest box during movement.

[0029] The upper guide rail 21 is provided with a movable hole 22 to provide space for the rocking wheel 6 to move. The rocking wheel 6 is located in the movable hole 22. When the surface of the lower guide rail is uneven, the rocking wheel 6 can swing freely and adjust its angle within the movable hole 22. The rocking wheel 6 can reduce the sliding resistance caused by defects on the guide rail surface, ensuring that the sliding platform 2 remains smooth throughout the entire movement process.

[0030] The side roller 5 includes a mounting frame 51, a roller 3 52, and a mounting groove 53. The roller 3 52 is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove 53. The mounting frame 51 is mounted on the side of the upper guide rail 21. The side roller 5 can further improve the stability of the cooperation structure between the upper guide rail 21 and the lower guide rail. During the movement of the sliding platform 2, the side roller 5 can effectively prevent the guide rail from shifting or shaking in the lateral direction by laterally limiting the upper guide rail 21 and the lower guide rail.

[0031] Roller 3 and roller 4 are attached to the upper and lower sides of the lower guide rail respectively, and side roller 5 is attached to the side of the lower guide rail. Roller 52 can reduce the side friction between the upper guide rail 21 and the lower guide rail.

[0032] When the upper guide rail 21 slides within the lower guide rail, roller 3 and roller 4 respectively contact the upper and lower sides of the lower guide rail. Roller 52 on the side roller 5 contacts the side of the lower guide rail. When the sliding platform 2 moves relative to the fixed platform 1, roller 4 rolls along the lower side of the lower guide rail, and roller 3 rolls along the upper side of the lower guide rail. During the sliding process, the rocking wheel 6 automatically adjusts its swing angle within the movable hole 22 according to the actual situation of the upper side of the lower guide rail to ensure close contact with the upper side of the lower guide rail. At the same time, roller 52 on the side roller 5 rolls within the mounting groove 53 to provide lateral limit for the upper guide rail 21 and the lower guide rail, reduce lateral friction, and ensure that the entire sliding process is smooth, stable, and stable.

[0033] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
