AI Technical Summary
The lids of existing car armrest boxes are prone to asynchronous opening, mainly due to the uneven force on the locking hooks on both sides when the button is pressed, resulting in inconsistent opening times.
A car armrest box with split opening was designed. By adding a middle pressure plate structure, the button can press the pressure plates on both sides at the same time, thereby synchronously driving the locking hooks on both sides to rotate and realize the synchronous opening of the two box lids.
This effectively solves the problem of asynchronous opening of the box lids, ensuring that both lids open synchronously at the same time, thus improving the user experience.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive technology, and more specifically, it relates to a double-opening armrest box for automobiles. Background Technology
[0002] A car armrest box is a storage device installed between the car seats, and it has a lid on top. Some current car models have two lids on the top of the armrest box, which open in opposite directions. Generally, both lids are opened simultaneously using a button. However, in current armrest boxes with these double-opening lids, the two lids often open asynchronously. One reason for this is that when the button is pressed, the pressure on the locking hooks of the two lids is uneven, causing the hooks to open at different times, resulting in the asynchronous opening of the two lids. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a double-opening armrest box for automobiles, so as to overcome the problem that the two sides of the double-opening armrest box sometimes open asynchronously during use.
[0004] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a double-opening armrest box for automobiles, comprising a box body, with a box cover rotatably connected to each of the two sides of the top of the box body; a box lock is installed on one side of the box body, the box lock comprising an upper base and a lower base respectively fixedly installed on the box body; a button is provided on the upper side of the upper base, with pressure rods installed on both sides of the bottom of the button, and pressure holes for the pressure rods to be inserted on both sides of the upper base; a spring is installed between the button and the upper base, and an upper limit structure is installed between the upper base and the button to limit the upward movement of the button; locking hooks are rotatably installed on both sides of the lower base, with a locking hook torsion spring installed between the locking hooks and the lower base; the top of the locking hook has a forward-extending locking hook head, and the rear end faces of the two boxes cover respectively have locking holes for the locking hook heads to be engaged; the front end of the locking hook head has a wedge-shaped surface; the bottom of the locking hook is connected to a rearward-extending pressure plate; the lower base is also rotatably connected to an intermediate pressure plate, the intermediate pressure plate being above the pressure plate; a lower limit structure is installed on the lower base to limit the upward rotation of the intermediate pressure plate.
[0005] Furthermore, the upper limit structure includes a limit rod installed in the middle of the button and a limit hole opened on the upper base. The limit rod is inserted into the limit hole, and a lower protrusion is installed on the limit rod. An upper protrusion that cooperates with the lower protrusion is installed on the inner wall of the limit hole on the upper side of the lower protrusion. The spring is sleeved on the limit rod.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper base has a cylindrical protrusion on the upper side of the limiting hole, and the lower side of the spring is fitted onto the protrusion.
[0007] Furthermore, the lower limit structure includes hooks installed on both sides of the lower base, with hook heads extending toward the middle pressure plate and the hook heads being on the upper side of the middle pressure plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the front end of the intermediate pressure plate is rotatably connected to the lower base via a rotating shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower base is fixedly mounted on the housing by screws.
[0010] Furthermore, torsion spring shafts are respectively installed on both sides of the lower base, and the lock hook torsion spring is fitted on the torsion spring shaft. The two ends of the lock hook torsion spring abut against the lock hook and the upper base respectively. The bottom of the lock hook is rotatably connected to the lower base through a rotating shaft.
[0011] Furthermore, pressure heads that cooperate with the pressure plate are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom of the rear end of the intermediate pressure plate, and the pressure heads are on the upper side of the pressure plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the two side covers are rotatably connected to the two sides of the box body via damping shafts, and torsion springs are installed between the two side covers and the box body.
[0013] Furthermore, the housing has a cover plate installed on the upper side of the upper base, and the cover plate has a pressing hole for the button to pass through.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This invention effectively solves the problem of asynchronous opening of the two side lids by adding a middle pressure plate. When using the lock, first press the button. As the button moves downward, it presses down on the middle pressure plate. Since the front end of the middle pressure plate is rotatably connected to the lower base via a pivot, the middle pressure plate will rotate downward around its front end. During this downward rotation, the middle pressure plate will simultaneously press down on the two side pressure plates. Because the middle pressure plate can only rotate up and down, regardless of whether the button is pressed off-center, the middle pressure plate will press down on the two side pressure plates simultaneously. This causes the two side pressure plates to simultaneously drive the two side lock hooks to rotate, thereby achieving synchronous opening of the two side lids. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] A split-opening armrest box for automobiles includes a box body 1, with a lid 2 rotatably connected to each of the two sides of the top of the box body 1. The lids 2 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the box body 1 via damping shafts, and torsion springs are installed between each lid 2 and the box body 1. This invention, by setting damping shafts, allows for smoother rotation of the lids 2 during opening. The torsion springs of the lids 2 can drive the corresponding lids 2 to rotate outwards. When the locking hook head 11 on the locking hook 9 does not engage with the locking hole 12 on the rear end face of the lid 2, the torsion springs will drive the lids 2 to rotate outwards, thereby enabling the two lids 2 to open outwards.
[0026] A lock is installed on one side of the box body 1. The lock is used to lock the two box covers 2, so that the box covers 2 cannot rotate outward under the action of the torsion spring of the box cover 2.
[0027] The lock includes an upper base 3 and a lower base 4, which are respectively fixedly installed on the box body 1. The lower base 4 is fixedly installed on the box body 1 by screws. The upper base 3 can be integrally formed with the box body 1. The lower base 4 mainly supports the limit lock hook 9, the intermediate pressure plate 14 and other components. The upper base 3 mainly supports the limit button 5 and other components.
[0028] A button 5 is provided on the upper side of the upper base 3. A cover plate 24 is installed on the upper side of the housing 1. A pressing hole 26 is opened on the cover plate 24 for the button 5 to pass through. A pressure rod 6 is installed on both sides of the bottom of the button 5. A pressure hole 7 is opened on both sides of the upper base 3 for the pressure rod 6 to be inserted. The pressure rod 6 passes through the pressure hole 7. The bottom of the pressure rod 6 always abuts against the top of the middle pressure plate 14.
[0029] A spring 8 is installed between the button 5 and the upper base 3. The spring 8 provides an upward restoring force to the button 5. After the button 5 is pressed downwards, the spring 8 drives the button 5 to return to its original position. An upper limit structure is installed between the upper base 3 and the button 5 to restrict the upward movement of the button 5. During the upward movement of the button 5, the upper limit structure restricts the upward movement of the button 5, ensuring that the button 5 can only move upwards to a certain height. The spring 8 can be configured to always be in a compressed state; that is, when the button 5 moves upwards to its maximum height, the spring 8 is in a compressed state.
[0030] The upper limit structure includes a limiting rod 15 installed in the middle of the button 5 and a limiting hole 16 opened on the upper base 3. The limiting rod 15 is inserted into the limiting hole 16. The upper base 3 has a cylindrical protrusion 19 on the upper side of the limiting hole 16, which increases the depth of the limiting hole 16. The upper and lower sides of the spring 8 are respectively fitted onto the limiting rod 15 and the protrusion 19, so that the spring 8 will not shift during the pressing of the button 5.
[0031] A lower protrusion 17 is installed on the limiting rod 15. An upper protrusion 18 that cooperates with the lower protrusion 17 is installed on the inner wall of the limiting hole 16 above the lower protrusion 17. Since the button 5 can only move up and down and cannot rotate, the upper protrusion 18 will always be above the lower protrusion 17. Since the upper protrusion 18 is fixed to the upper base 3 and the lower protrusion 17 is fixed to the button 5, when the lower protrusion 17 contacts the upper protrusion 18 upward, the upper protrusion 18 will restrict the lower protrusion 17 from moving upward, thereby limiting the upward movement of the button 5 by the upper protrusion 18.
[0032] Locking hooks 9 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the lower base 4. The bottom of the locking hooks 9 is rotatably connected to the lower base 4 via a pivot. A locking hook torsion spring 10 is installed between the locking hooks 9 and the lower base 4. Torsion spring shafts 22 are installed on both sides of the lower base 4. The locking hook torsion spring 10 is fitted onto the torsion spring shafts 22, and the two torsion arms at both ends of the locking hook torsion spring 10 abut against the locking hooks 9 and the upper base 3, respectively. In this invention, the locking hook torsion spring 10 will always provide a driving force for the locking hooks 9 to rotate counterclockwise, that is, a driving force for the locking hook head 11 to rotate towards the box cover 2. In this invention, the locking hook torsion spring 10 will always act on the two side pressure plates 13 to abut against the bottom of the middle pressure plate 14.
[0033] The top of the locking hook 9 is provided with a forward-extending locking hook head 11. The front end of the locking hook head 11 is provided with a wedge-shaped surface 25. By setting the wedge-shaped surface 25, it is convenient for the box cover 2 to drive the locking hook 9 to rotate when it rotates inward, so that the locking hook head 11 can be inserted into the locking hole 12 on the rear end face of the box cover 2. The rear end faces of the box cover 2 on both sides are respectively provided with locking holes 12 for the locking hook heads 11 on both sides to be inserted.
[0034] The bottom of the locking hook 9 is connected to a rearward-extending pressure plate 13. By pressing down on the pressure plate 13, the locking hook 9 can be driven to rotate clockwise, causing the locking hook head 11 to disengage from the locking hole 12 on the box cover 2.
[0035] The lower base 4 is also rotatably connected to a middle pressure plate 14. The front end of the middle pressure plate 14 is rotatably connected to the lower base 4 via a rotating shaft. Pressure heads 23, which cooperate with pressure plates 13, are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom of the rear end of the middle pressure plate 14. The bottom surface of the pressure head 23 is arc-shaped. The pressure head 23 is located on the upper side of the pressure plate 13. When the middle pressure plate 14 rotates downwards, it presses down on the pressure plate 13, thereby causing the pressure plate 13 to drive the locking hook 9 to rotate clockwise and disengage the locking hook head 11 from the locking hole 12 on the lid 2. Since the middle pressure plate 14 can only rotate up and down, regardless of whether the button 5 is pressed off-center, the middle pressure plate 14 will simultaneously press both pressure plates 13, thereby causing both pressure plates 13 to simultaneously drive both locking hooks 9 to rotate, thus achieving synchronous opening of both lids 2.
[0036] A lower limit structure is installed on the lower base 4 to restrict the upward rotation of the intermediate pressure plate 14. This lower limit structure restricts the upward rotation of the intermediate pressure plate 14, ensuring that the intermediate pressure plate 14 is always in a state that restricts the counterclockwise rotation of the pressure plate 13. That is, the pressure plate 13 will always be in contact with the bottom of the intermediate pressure plate 14 under the action of the locking hook torsion spring 10. When the intermediate pressure plate 14 is not pressed, the locking hook 9 will engage with the locking hole 12 of the lid 2.
[0037] The lower limit structure includes hooks 20 installed on both sides of the lower base 4. The hook heads 21 on the hooks 20 extend toward the middle pressure plate 14 and are on the upper side of the middle pressure plate 14. The hooks 20 are fixedly connected to the lower base 4. When the middle pressure plate 14 rotates upward and the top of the middle pressure plate 14 contacts the hook head 21, the hook head 21 will restrict the middle pressure plate 14 from continuing to rotate.
[0038] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When opening the split lid 2 on the box body 1, the button 5 is pressed first. The two pressure rods 6 on the button 5 move downward along the two pressure holes 7. The two pressure rods 6 drive the middle pressure plate 14 to rotate downward. The middle pressure plate 14 drives the two pressure plates 13 to rotate downward through the two pressure heads 23, thereby driving the locking hook 9 to rotate clockwise and causing the two locking hook heads 11 to disengage from the corresponding locking holes 12 on the lid 2. The two lids 2 rotate outward simultaneously under the action of the lid 2 torsion spring. When the button 5 is stopped, the button 5 will return to its original position under the action of the spring 8, and the locking hook 9 will... The lock hook 9 rotates counterclockwise under the action of the lock hook torsion spring 10, causing the lock hook head 11 to reset. At the same time, the intermediate pressure plate 14 rotates upward under the drive of the pressure plate 13, and the top of the intermediate pressure plate 14 contacts the locking hook head 21. When it is necessary to close the box cover 2, simply press the box cover 2 downward. During the downward pressing process, the box cover 2 will contact the wedge-shaped surface 25 of the lock hook head 11 and drive the lock hook 9 to rotate clockwise, causing the lock hook head 11 to abut against the rear end face of the box cover 2 until the lock hook head 11 is driven by the lock hook torsion spring 10 and is locked into the lock hole 12 of the box cover 2. This achieves the locking of the box cover 2.
