Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aviation seat technology, and in particular to a novel stepless adjustable aviation seat armrest. Background Technology

[0002] Aircraft seats play a crucial role in flight safety, and their performance directly impacts product quality. Armrests are an important component of the seat, providing support for pilots and passengers during work and rest. If the armrests cannot be adjusted, the pilot's and passenger's arms will remain in one position for extended periods, leading to fatigue. The importance of armrest angle adjustment is even more pronounced for pilot seats.

[0003] Currently, passenger seat armrests generally cannot be angle-adjusted, only having two states: flat and upright. Driver seat armrests generally require buttons to control locking mechanisms to achieve angle adjustment, but buttons have a high failure rate, and the armrests cannot achieve stepless adjustment. Alternatively, angle adjustment can be achieved through ratchet and pawl mechanisms, but stepless adjustment is not possible, and the adjustment is generally limited to 5° or 10° increments.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the above problems has become an urgent issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0057] Armrest cover 1: It is snapped onto the armrest shell 3 with a buckle and fixed with screws, providing a comfortable support surface while protecting the internal structure and improving the user experience.

[0058] Rotating wheel 2 drives screw 5 to rotate, which in turn drives tapered threaded sleeve 6 to rotate along shaft 7, achieving stepless adjustment and locking of the armrest angle. The adjustment range is -3° to +90° relative to the horizontal plane. When not in use, it can be folded up and stored behind the backrest. This design not only meets the diverse needs of passengers and drivers for armrest angle but also has advantages such as simple structure, high strength, and light weight, significantly improving the comfort and functionality of aviation seats.

[0059] In some specific embodiments, the armrest mounting base 8 is connected to the seat back by bolts to support the entire armrest structure, ensuring the stability and reliability of the armrest, and also serving as the mounting base for other components.

[0060] This connection method ensures that the armrest mounting base 8 can be firmly fixed to the bottom of the seat back, thereby supporting the entire armrest structure and ensuring the stability and reliability of the armrest. The armrest mounting base 8 not only serves as the supporting foundation for the entire armrest structure but also provides mounting interfaces for other components, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire armrest system.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, bearings are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 7. The bearings are installed on the inner side wall of the handrail housing 3 to reduce rotational friction, improve service life, and ensure the smooth rotation of the handrail.

[0062] The bearing design significantly reduces friction on the pivot 7 during rotation, resulting in smoother armrest rotation and extending the lifespan of the pivot 7. This design ensures stable rotation of the armrest during adjustment, enhancing the user experience.

[0063] In some specific embodiments, the sleeve 9 is fixed to the handrail mounting base 8 by welding, providing stable rotational support for the rotating shaft 7 and ensuring the installation strength of the sleeve 9.

[0064] Welding is a robust connection method that ensures that the sleeve 9 will not loosen or shift during long-term use, thus providing stable rotational support for the shaft 7. This connection method ensures the installation strength of the sleeve 9, enabling the shaft 7 to rotate stably, thereby guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the entire handrail adjustment mechanism.

[0065] In some specific embodiments, the threaded fit between 6 and the rotating shaft 7 is a high-precision trapezoidal thread, which improves transmission efficiency and self-locking performance, and ensures the accuracy and stability of the handrail angle adjustment.

[0066] The threaded fit between the tapered threaded sleeve 6 and the rotating shaft 7 adopts a high-precision trapezoidal thread. The tapered threaded sleeve 6 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 7, located inside the sleeve 9. This high-precision trapezoidal thread fit improves transmission efficiency and ensures the accuracy and stability of the handrail angle adjustment. The trapezoidal thread has good self-locking performance, maintaining stability after adjustment to the required angle and preventing accidental movement of the handrail during use.

[0067] In some specific embodiments, the screw 5 and the screw mounting part 4 are connected by a key to ensure the rotational stability of the screw 5 and prevent the screw 5 from undergoing radial displacement during rotation.

[0068] The screw 5 and the screw mounting part 4 are connected by a key. The screw 5 is vertically mounted on the rear side of the handrail mounting base 8, and the screw mounting part 4 is fixed to the handrail mounting base 8. Key connection is a common mechanical connection method, achieved by machining keyways on both the screw 5 and the screw mounting part 4 and inserting a key. This connection method effectively transmits torque, ensuring the stability of the screw 5 during rotation and preventing radial displacement, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the entire handrail adjustment mechanism.

[0069] In some specific embodiments, the outer edge of the rotating wheel 2 is provided with anti-slip texture, which facilitates user operation and improves the feel and safety during the adjustment process.

[0070] The rotating wheel 2, fixed to the upper end of the screw 5, is the operating component for adjusting the armrest angle. The anti-slip textured design increases the friction on the outer edge of the rotating wheel 2, making it easier for users to grip and rotate, improving the feel and safety during adjustment. This design is especially effective in preventing slippage when hands are wet or oily, ensuring users can easily and accurately adjust the armrest angle.

[0071] In some specific embodiments, the armrest shell 3 is made of carbon fiber in one piece. It has a hollow structure, is fitted onto the pivot 7 and connected to the tapered threaded sleeve 6, forming the outer shell of the armrest, protecting the internal components and providing support.

[0072] In a specific embodiment, the armrest shell 3 is manufactured using a one-piece carbon fiber molding process, forming a hollow structure. The armrest shell 3 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 7, located on the outside of the shaft 7, and connected to the tapered threaded sleeve 6. The tapered threaded sleeve 6 is on the rotating shaft 7. The armrest shell 3 is connected to the tapered threaded sleeve 6 through its internal structure, forming a whole and constituting the outer shell of the armrest, protecting the internal components and providing support. This design not only reduces the weight of the armrest but also improves its strength and rigidity, ensuring the stability and reliability of the armrest during adjustment.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, the armrest cover 1 is made of polycarbonate and covered with a layer of soft polyurethane on the upper surface. It is snapped onto the armrest shell 3 by a buckle and then fixed from the rear end of the armrest shell 3 with screws to provide a comfortable support surface while protecting the internal structure.

[0074] The armrest cover 1 is made of polycarbonate, which has good strength and toughness. A layer of soft polyurethane is covered on the upper surface of the armrest cover 1 to provide a comfortable support surface. The armrest cover 1 is snapped into the opening of the armrest shell 3 by a buckle, and then fixed from the rear end of the armrest shell 3 with screws to ensure reliable connection and protect the internal structure.

[0075] The working method of this utility model mainly includes the following steps:

[0076] Device start

[0077] Initial state: The armrest is in the stowed state, with the armrest cover flush against the back of the seat.

[0078] Activation procedure: When a passenger needs to use the handrail, they should grasp the handrail cover and gently pull the handrail outwards to form an angle with the seat back. The handrail is then ready for use.

[0079] Armrest angle adjustment

[0080] Adjustment preparation: When the handrail is in use, if passengers want to adjust the angle of the handrail for more comfortable support, they can perform the angle adjustment operation.

[0081] Adjustment process:

[0082] Clockwise rotation of the wheel: The wheel is fixed to the upper end of the screw. Rotating the wheel clockwise causes the screw to rotate accordingly. The screw and the tapered threaded sleeve are in gear meshing. The rotation of the screw drives the tapered threaded sleeve to move in a certain direction along the axis of rotation. The tapered threaded sleeve is connected to the armrest shell. Its movement causes the armrest shell to rotate counterclockwise around the axis of rotation, thereby reducing the opening angle of the armrest.

[0083] Counterclockwise rotation of the wheel: If it is necessary to increase the opening angle of the handrail, the wheel can be rotated counterclockwise. The screw rotates in the opposite direction, and the tapered threaded sleeve moves in the opposite direction along the axis of rotation, causing the handrail shell to rotate clockwise around the axis of rotation, thereby increasing the opening angle of the handrail.

[0084] Adjustment range: The armrest angle can be adjusted from -3° to +90° to meet the needs of passengers in different flight phases and different sitting positions.

[0085] Angle Lock

[0086] Locking principle: When the passenger stops rotating the wheel, the screw engages with the tapered threaded sleeve, creating a self-locking effect that locks the handrail at its current angle, ensuring stability during use. This self-locking mechanism utilizes the friction between the threads and the stability of the mechanical structure to prevent the handrail from changing angle due to external forces during use.

[0087] Armrest Collection

[0088] Folding operation: When passengers no longer need to use the armrest, it can be folded up to the back of the seat, with the armrest cover close to the back of the seat, saving space and making it convenient for passengers to move around.

[0089] The beneficial effects of this utility model are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0090] Improve passenger comfort

[0091] Ergonomic fit: With stepless angle adjustment, passengers can adjust the armrest to a position that perfectly fits their arms and sides, conforming to ergonomics and effectively reducing arm and shoulder fatigue during long-haul flights, thus improving passenger comfort.

[0092] Adaptable to various body types and postures: Different passengers have different body types. This handrail allows passengers to adjust the angle of the handrail according to their own body type and sitting posture preferences, find the most suitable support method, and meet diverse needs.

[0093] Enhance driving safety

[0094] Precision control assistance: For pilots, the adjustable armrests enable them to maintain the correct sitting posture and arm position when operating flight controls, reducing operational errors caused by improper posture, enhancing the pilot's precise control of the aircraft, and improving flight safety.

[0095] Self-locking stability guarantee: After adjustment, the self-locking function ensures that the handrail remains stable during use and will not change its angle due to external force or vibration, providing reliable support for passengers and drivers and avoiding safety hazards caused by accidental movement.

[0096] Optimize space utilization and interior design

[0097] Flexible storage: When not in use, the armrests can be folded down and stored behind the seat back, saving cabin space, facilitating passenger movement and aisle passage, and also making cleaning and maintenance easier.

[0098] The interior design is user-friendly: the armrest shell is made of one-piece carbon fiber, and the hollow structure reduces weight while increasing strength. The surface of the armrest is covered with soft polyurethane to provide a comfortable support surface. The overall design is beautiful and practical, and it is coordinated and unified with the interior style of the aviation seats, enhancing the overall visual effect of the cabin.

[0099] Improve durability and reliability

[0100] High-strength structure: The armrest mounting base is bolted to the seat back, providing stable support for the entire armrest structure; the sleeve is welded to the armrest mounting base to ensure the rotational stability of the pivot; the screw and screw mounting part are connected by a key to prevent radial displacement of the screw and enhance rotational stability. The robust connection between the components improves durability, enabling it to operate for a long time under vibration and load conditions.

[0101] Stable self-locking performance: The screw and tapered threaded sleeve are fitted with high-precision trapezoidal threads, resulting in high transmission efficiency and excellent self-locking performance. After adjustment, it can stably maintain the set angle, preventing accidental movement, and can maintain precise adjustment and stable support even after long-term use.

[0102] Reduce maintenance costs

[0103] Simple structure and easy maintenance: The overall structure is simple with few parts, reducing potential failure points. Furthermore, the connection methods for each component, such as bolts, welding, and key connections, are mature and reliable, facilitating inspection and maintenance and reducing maintenance costs.

[0104] Long lifespan design: The use of high-performance materials such as carbon fiber and polycarbonate, along with high-precision trapezoidal threads, ensures that the handrails maintain good performance even with frequent adjustments and long-term use, reducing replacement frequency, extending service life, and lowering airline operating costs.

[0105] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
