Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat armrest technology, specifically a novel automotive seat armrest. Background Technology
[0002] In modern automotive design, car seat armrests, as an important comfort feature, directly impact the passenger's driving and riding experience. As people's demands for automotive comfort and functionality continue to rise, the limitations of traditional car seat armrests are becoming increasingly apparent.
[0003] Traditional car seat armrests mostly serve only as arm support components, meeting only basic support needs and failing to provide passengers with more practical functions. For example, passengers often need to place personal items such as mobile phones and water bottles while traveling, but existing armrests lack dedicated storage and placement areas, causing items to be left lying around on the seat, easily leading to items slipping and being lost. To address this, we propose a new type of car seat armrest. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of car seat armrest to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing armrests lack a dedicated storage and placement area, which causes items to be placed randomly on the seat, making it easy for items to slip and be lost.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A novel car seat armrest includes a car seat armrest body and a base plate. The base plate is movably installed inside the car seat armrest body. Support plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the base plate surface. Sliding grooves are formed on both sides of the support plate surface. A retaining ring is fixedly installed at the center of the base plate surface. Placement plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the retaining ring surface. Through grooves are formed on both sides of the upper surface of the car seat armrest body. Fixing blocks are rotatably installed on both sides inside the through grooves. A handle is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block surface. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block. A lifting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod surface.
[0006] The upper surface of the car seat armrest is movably fitted with an opening and closing plate, and the surface of the opening and closing plate is provided with a pull-out groove.
[0007] There are two support plates, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the opening and closing plate.
[0008] The base plate has sliders fixedly installed on both sides of its surface. The sliders are perpendicular to the slide grooves, and the base plate can be raised and lowered on the support plate surface by means of the sliders and slide grooves.
[0009] The lifting plate extends to the bottom of the base plate and rotates on the surface of the through groove through the fixing block and connecting rod, making rotational contact with the bottom surface of the base plate.
[0010] The fixing block and connecting rod rotate from right to left in the through groove, which drives the lifting plate to move upward from the bottom of the base plate, and simultaneously lifts the base plate from inside the car seat armrest body.
[0011] The grip surface has a frosted finish.
[0012] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] A retaining ring fixed at the center of the base plate can be used to secure water cups, preventing them from spilling during driving. The storage plates on both sides of the retaining ring provide places to store small items such as phones and keys, making them easily accessible to passengers. The design of the hinged panel and the height-adjustable base plate allows the base plate to be stored inside the car seat armrest when not in use, effectively saving interior space. Furthermore, the pull-out groove design on the hinged panel maintains a flat surface when closed, further optimizing space utilization. This design is particularly suitable for vehicles with limited space, maximizing interior space utilization without affecting the normal use of the armrest, making the interior more tidy and spacious.
[0014] The base plate is adjusted in height on the support plate surface via sliders and grooves. Simultaneously, the fixing block and connecting rod rotate from right to left in the through groove, causing the lifting plate to move upward from the bottom of the base plate, which in turn lifts the base plate from inside the car seat armrest body. This design allows the armrest height to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual needs of passengers. Whether the passenger is tall or petite, they can find the most suitable arm support height, effectively relieving arm fatigue during long journeys and significantly improving seating comfort. In addition, the frosted surface of the grip increases friction when holding it, further enhancing ease of use and comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel car seat armrest, including a car seat armrest body 100 and a base plate 200. The base plate 200 is movably installed inside the car seat armrest body 100. Support plates 201 are fixedly installed on both sides of the surface of the base plate 200. There are two support plates 201, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the opening and closing plate 101. Sliding grooves 202 are formed on both sides of the surface of the support plates 201. A retaining ring 203 is fixedly installed at the center of the surface of the base plate 201. Placement plates 204 are fixedly installed on both sides of the surface of the retaining ring 203. Through grooves 208 are formed on both sides of the upper surface of the car seat armrest body 100. Fixing blocks 209 are rotatably installed on both sides of the part. The fixing blocks 209 and the connecting rod 206 rotate and adjust from right to left in the through groove 208, which drives the lifting plate 207 to move upward from the bottom of the base plate 200. At the same time, it drives the base plate 200 to be lifted from inside the car seat armrest body 100. A handle 205 is fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the fixing block 209. The surface of the handle 205 is frosted. The bottom of the fixing block 209 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 206. The lifting plate 207 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the connecting rod 206. The lifting plate 207 extends to the bottom of the base plate 200 and rotates on the surface of the through groove 208 through the fixing blocks 209 and the connecting rod 206, making rotational contact with the bottom surface of the base plate 200.
[0024] An opening and closing plate 101 is movably installed on the upper surface of the car seat armrest body 100, and a pull-out groove 102 is formed on the surface of the opening and closing plate 101.
[0025] Slider blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the surface of the base plate 200. The sliders are perpendicular to the slide groove 202. The base plate 200 can be raised and lowered on the surface of the support plate 201 by means of the sliders and the slide groove 202.
[0026] Working principle: When passengers need to use the multi-functional platform of the handrail, they can hold the handle 205. Since the handle 205 is fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the fixing block 209, and the fixing block 209 is rotatably installed on both sides inside the through groove 208, when a rotational force is applied to the handle 205 from right to left, the fixing block 209 will rotate within the through groove 208. The connecting rod 206 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 209 will rotate accordingly, and the lifting plate 207 fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the connecting rod 206, since it extends to the bottom of the base plate 200 and rotates in contact with the bottom surface of the base plate 200, will move upward from the bottom of the base plate 200 when the connecting rod 206 rotates.
[0027] Meanwhile, the sliders fixedly installed on both sides of the base plate 200 correspond perpendicularly to the grooves 202 opened on both sides of the support plate 201. The base plate 200 can be raised and lowered on the surface of the support plate 201 through the sliders and grooves 202. When the lifting plate 207 moves upward, it pushes the base plate 200, causing the base plate 200 to gradually rise from inside the car seat armrest body 100 along the grooves 202 of the support plate 201 until it reaches the height required by the passenger. Different passengers can precisely adjust the lifting height of the base plate 200 by controlling the rotation angle of the handle 205 to meet their personalized needs for arm support height and relieve arm fatigue during long-term sitting.
[0028] When the base plate 200 is lifted, the retaining ring 203 fixedly installed at the center of its surface and the placement plates 204 on both sides of the retaining ring 203 are revealed. Passengers can place their water cups in the retaining ring 203, which can fix the water cups in place and prevent them from tipping over and spilling during the journey. Small items such as mobile phones and keys can be placed on the placement plates 204 for easy access, realizing the multi-functional use of the handrail.
[0029] When the multi-functional platform of the armrest is not needed, the handle 205 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the fixing block 209 and connecting rod 206 to rotate in the opposite direction within the through groove 208. The lifting plate 207 then moves downwards, no longer providing support to the base plate 200. At this time, under the action of gravity, the base plate 200 slides downwards along the slide groove 202 via the slider and is stored inside the car seat armrest body 100. Simultaneously, the opening and closing plate 101, which is movably installed on the upper surface of the car seat armrest body 100, can be closed. The pull-out groove 102 on the surface of the opening and closing plate 101 keeps the surface of the armrest flat when closed, thereby effectively saving interior space. This is especially suitable for vehicles with limited space, improving the utilization rate of interior space and keeping the interior clean and spacious.
