Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive armrest box technology, specifically to an adjustable automotive armrest box. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional car armrest designs, the armrest cover is usually fixed in shape or can only be opened and closed as a whole, making it impossible to personalize the height and support for different body parts and sitting postures of users. When drivers or passengers have different heights and sitting postures, a fixed-height armrest cover cannot fully conform to the body. For example, a taller person may find that the armrest cover is not high enough, causing their wrist to dangle and leading to fatigue during long drives; a shorter person may find that the armrest cover is too high, requiring them to consciously raise their arms to reach it, causing shoulder tension. Furthermore, traditional armrest covers cannot precisely adjust to the different support needs of different body parts. For example, when a driver is operating the steering wheel, the front and rear of their arms require different levels of support and height from the armrest, and traditional armrest covers cannot meet these precise support requirements. In addition, traditional armrest covers also lack convenience in adjustment, lacking a simple and easy-to-operate centralized control method, making it difficult for users to quickly adjust the armrest's position.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an adjustable car armrest box, including a car center console 1 and an armrest box structure 2. The armrest box structure 2 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the car center console 1. Specifically, the armrest box structure 2 includes a box body 21 and two adjustable armrest covers 22 hinged to the left and right sides of the upper port of the box body 21.

[0030] Regarding the adjustable armrest cover 22, the upper surface of the hollow flip cover 221 is fixedly connected with 6 leather airbags 222 in a linear array, and a miniature air pump 224 is installed in the inner cavity of the hollow flip cover 221. The gas delivery nozzle of the miniature air pump 224 is connected to a main pipeline 226. The right side surface of the main pipeline 226 is fixedly connected with 6 air supply pipes 225 in a linear array. At the same time, 6 electromagnetic air valves 228 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the inner cavity of the hollow flip cover 221 below the leather airbags 222. The air outlet of the electromagnetic air valves 228 is connected to an air inlet pipe 223 that penetrates into the interior of the leather airbags 222. The end of the air supply pipe 225 away from the main pipeline 226 is connected to the air inlet of the electromagnetic air valve 228.

[0031] In practical use, if the driver wishes to raise the height of the three leather airbags 222 near the outer side of the left adjustable armrest cover 22, they only need to open the solenoid valves 228 corresponding to these three airbags 222 and simultaneously start the mini air pump 224. The suction nozzle of the mini air pump 224 draws air from the air inlet, and the air enters the opened solenoid valves 228 through the main pipeline 226 and the corresponding air supply pipe 225, and then enters the corresponding leather airbags 222 through the air intake pipe 223, causing these leather airbags 222 to inflate and rise. The solenoid valves 228 that do not receive the opening signal remain closed, and the height of the corresponding leather airbags 222 remains unchanged, thus realizing the zoned height adjustment function of the adjustable armrest cover 22.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment optimizes the control method of the micro air pump 224 and the solenoid valve 228.

[0034] In this embodiment, the power connection terminal of the miniature air pump 224 is electrically connected to the car's battery, and the control terminals of the miniature air pump 224 and the solenoid valve 228 are electrically connected to the car's control panel. The opening or closing of the miniature air pump 224 and each solenoid valve 228 can be controlled through the car's control panel.

[0035] Example 3:

[0036] Based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, this embodiment optimizes the structure of the adjustable armrest cover 22.

[0037] In this embodiment, the hollow flip cover 221 has seven vertically arranged support partitions 227 fixedly connected in a linear array inside the cavity. Each support partition 227 has a through hole for the main pipeline 226 to pass through. These support partitions 227 divide the cavity of the hollow flip cover 221 into multiple regions, with each solenoid valve 228 located in a different region. The support partitions 227 not only provide more stable support for the hollow flip cover 221, but also facilitate independent control of the leather airbags 222 in different regions.

[0038] Suppose the driver wants to adjust the height of the leather airbags 222 in different areas of the right-side adjustable armrest cover 22. Due to the presence of the support partition 227, each area is relatively independent. When the control panel issues a command, the solenoid valve 228 of the corresponding area opens, the micro air pump 224 operates, and air enters the leather airbag 222 of the target area through the main pipe 226, air supply pipe 225, solenoid valve 228, and intake pipe 223, causing it to inflate and rise. Meanwhile, the solenoid valves 228 of other areas close, and the height of the corresponding leather airbags 222 remains unaffected. This structure allows for more precise zone adjustment, and during the adjustment process, the support partition 227 effectively prevents the hollow flip cover 221 from deforming due to local pressure changes, ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the armrest box.

[0039] Example 4:

[0040] Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3, this embodiment further optimizes the sealing and air intake design of the adjustable armrest cover 22.

[0041] In this embodiment, a through hole is provided on the top surface of the inner cavity of the hollow flip cover 221 at the connection position with the leather airbag 222 for the air inlet pipe 223 to pass through, and a sealing ring is provided inside the through hole to prevent gas from leaking to other areas, thus ensuring the independence of the height adjustment of the leather airbag 222 in different areas.

[0042] Meanwhile, the side wall of the hollow flip cover 221 has an air inlet for the micro air pump 224 to draw air. The air inlet is reasonably designed to ensure that the micro air pump 224 can draw air stably.

[0043] Based on the above-described preferred technical solution, the workflow of this technical solution is explained as follows:

[0044] When the driver or passenger needs to use the armrest box or adjust the armrest height, they issue a command through the vehicle's control panel. Upon receiving the command, the vehicle control panel transmits a signal to the control terminals of the miniature air pump 224 and the solenoid valve 228.

[0045] If the driver wishes to adjust the height of the leather airbags 222 in different areas on the left adjustable armrest cover 22, such as raising the four leather airbags 222 near the outside, the electromagnetic valves 228 corresponding to these four leather airbags 222 will receive an opening signal and their internal channels will open; at the same time, the miniature air pump 224 will be activated. The air intake nozzle of the miniature air pump 224 will draw in external air through the air inlet on the side wall of the hollow flip cover 221. After the air is drawn in, it will enter the miniature air pump 224 and be compressed. The compressed air will enter the main pipeline 226 through its gas delivery nozzle. Since the right side surface of the main pipeline 226 is linearly arrayed with air supply pipes 225 corresponding to the number of electromagnetic valves 228, and the four electromagnetic valves 228 in the target area are open, air is diverted through the main pipeline 226 to the corresponding four air supply pipes 225, and then enters the air inlet of the opened electromagnetic valve 228 through the air supply pipe 225. Then, it enters the corresponding leather airbag 222 from the air outlet of the electromagnetic valve 228 through the air inlet pipe 223.

[0046] As air is continuously injected, the four leather airbags 222 gradually inflate and rise. The sealing ring inside the through-hole at the connection point between the top surface of the hollow flip cover 221 and the leather airbag 222 effectively prevents gas leakage to other areas, ensuring that the gas is concentrated on the target leather airbag 222. For the electromagnetic valve 228 that does not receive an opening signal, its internal channel remains closed, and the corresponding leather airbag 222 remains at a constant height because it cannot be inflated with air. This achieves the zoned height adjustment function of different areas of the left adjustable armrest cover 22.

[0047] When the driver wishes to lower the height of these leather airbags 222, they can operate the car control panel again to issue a corresponding command. The control terminal causes the solenoid valve 228 to reverse its operation, changing the state of its internal channel. Under the action of internal pressure, the gas in the leather airbag 222 flows back to the main pipeline 226 through the intake pipe 223, the solenoid valve 228, and the air delivery pipe 225. Some gas is discharged from the exhaust port of the mini air pump 224 due to pressure changes. As the gas is discharged, the height of the leather airbag 222 gradually decreases, thereby realizing bidirectional control of height adjustment and further improving the practicality and flexibility of the armrest box's zoned height adjustment.

[0048] If the height of the right-side adjustable armrest cover 22 needs to be adjusted in sections, the operation method is similar to that on the left side. The electromagnetic valve 228 of the corresponding area is opened or closed through the car control panel, and the micro air pump 224 works in conjunction to realize the section height adjustment of the leather airbags 222 in different areas of the right-side adjustable armrest cover 22.

[0049] It should be stated that the above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, equivalent substitutions, and variations can be made to this utility model. However, such variations, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, should be within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, some terminology used in this application specification and claims is not limiting, but merely for ease of description.
