[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the elbow pillow assembly 100 has a drive mechanism 3 that can drive the first elbow pillow trim 2 to move forward and upward or backward and downward, that is, to slide along the front and back direction during the lifting and lowering process, thereby adjusting the height and front and back position, providing support for the driver's arm, reducing fatigue, improving safety, and having a simple structure and low cost.

[0038] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the elbow pillow assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: an elbow pillow base 1, a first elbow pillow decorative panel 2, and a drive mechanism 3.

[0039] The elbow rest base 1 can be fixed relative to the vehicle body. For example, the elbow rest base 1 can be installed between the two front seats of the vehicle, that is, between the driver's seat and the passenger seat. The elbow rest base 1 can serve as the bottom support of the elbow rest assembly 100 for installing and fixing the first elbow rest trim 2 and other structural components, ensuring the structural stability of the elbow rest assembly 100, and thus ensuring that the first elbow rest trim 2 provides stable support for the driver's arm and relieves driver fatigue.

[0040] The first elbow rest panel 2 is located above the elbow rest base 1, allowing the driver to support their arm on it. For left-hand drive vehicles, the driver can support their right arm on the first elbow rest panel 2, or for right-hand drive vehicles, the driver can support their left arm on the first elbow rest panel 2. This helps prevent driver fatigue caused by prolonged arm suspension during driving.

[0041] The drive mechanism 3 is mounted on the elbow rest base 1 and is poweredly connected to the first elbow rest trim 2. That is, the drive mechanism 3 provides driving force to the first elbow rest trim 2, allowing the first elbow rest trim 2 to move under the action of the driving force. Thus, the drive mechanism 3 can apply driving force to the first elbow rest trim 2, so that the first elbow rest trim 2 can move under the action of the driving force.

[0042] The drive mechanism 3 is used to drive the first elbow rest panel 2 to move forward and upward to open the elbow rest base 1 or to move backward and downward to close the elbow rest base 1. That is, when the first elbow rest panel 2 is subjected to force, it can not only be adjusted in height in the vertical direction, but also in displacement in the front-back direction. Specifically, when the first elbow rest panel 2 rises and opens the elbow rest base 1, the first elbow rest panel 2 can move forward so that the driver can place his right arm on the first elbow rest panel 2. Also, the first elbow rest panel 2 can move backward and downward, and when the first elbow rest panel 2 falls and closes the elbow rest base 1, the top of the elbow rest assembly 100 is neat.

[0043] In practical use, when the driver needs to support their arm on the first elbow rest panel 2, the drive mechanism 3 can be controlled to drive the first elbow rest panel 2 forward and upward, thereby raising the height of the first elbow rest panel 2 and moving it forward to a position close to the driver's arm. This allows the driver's arm to more easily approach the first elbow rest panel 2, facilitating arm support and relieving arm fatigue. When the driver does not need to support their arm on the first elbow rest panel 2, the drive mechanism 3 can also be controlled to drive the first elbow rest panel 2 backward and downward. During this process, the first elbow rest panel 2 descends to the upper part of the elbow rest base 1 to close the elbow rest base 1. At the same time, the first elbow rest panel 2 moves backward and is offset from the driver's arm, so as not to interfere with the driver's driving operation.

[0044] According to the elbow rest assembly 100 of this utility model embodiment, by setting a drive mechanism 3 on the elbow rest base 1 and making the drive mechanism 3 power-connected to the first elbow rest trim 2, the drive mechanism 3 controls the rise or fall of the first elbow rest trim 2. During the rise and fall process, the position of the first elbow rest trim 2 in the front and back direction can be adjusted flexibly to adjust the relative height and front and back distance between the first elbow rest trim 2 and the driver's arm. This facilitates the first elbow rest trim 2 to provide support for the driver's arm, reduce fatigue, improve safety, and has a simple structure and low cost.

[0045] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 3 includes a drive member 31, a transmission assembly 32, and a drive swing arm 33, which is swayably mounted on the elbow rest base 1. The drive member 31 is fixedly mounted on the elbow rest base 1, the transmission assembly 32 is movably mounted on the elbow rest base 1, and the drive swing arm 33 is connected to the elbow rest base 1 via a pin, meaning the drive swing arm 33 can rotate around the pin on the elbow rest base 1.

[0046] In practical applications, the output end of the drive component 31 is poweredly connected to the transmission assembly 32, and the transmission assembly 32 is poweredly connected to the drive swing arm 33. That is, the drive component 31 can be poweredly connected to the drive swing arm 33 through the transmission assembly 32 to drive the drive swing arm 33 to swing. In other words, the drive component 31 can transmit the driving force to the drive swing arm 33 through the transmission assembly 32, and the drive swing arm 33 swings under the action of the driving force.

[0047] The drive arm 33 is used to drive the first elbow pillow trim 2 to move. The drive arm 33 can be connected to the first elbow pillow trim 2. For example, the first elbow pillow trim 2 is installed at the end of the drive arm 33. When the drive arm 33 is swung by the driving force, it can drive the first elbow pillow trim 2 to move synchronously, so that the first elbow pillow trim 2 moves back and forth during the lifting and lowering process.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive component 31 is located inside and fixedly connected to the elbow rest base 1. The bottom of the drive swing arm 33 is rotatably connected to the elbow rest base 1 via a pin. One end of the transmission assembly 32 is poweredly connected to the drive component 31, and the other end is poweredly connected to the drive swing arm 33. Thus, the drive component 31 and the drive swing arm 33 are poweredly connected via the transmission assembly 32. The drive component 31 can transmit driving force to the drive swing arm 33 through the transmission assembly 32, causing the drive swing arm 33 to swing. At the same time, the first elbow rest trim 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive swing arm 33, and the first elbow rest trim 2 moves synchronously with the upper end of the drive swing arm 33. Thus, by transmitting driving force to the first elbow rest trim 2 through the drive mechanism 3, the first elbow rest trim 2 can move, thereby facilitating support for the driver's arm.

[0049] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 32 includes a first transmission rod 321 and a second transmission rod 323. The first transmission rod 321 is rotatably mounted on the elbow rest base 1. Specifically, the first transmission rod 321 is rotatably connected to the elbow rest base 1 via a pin. The second transmission rod 323 is poweredly connected to both the first transmission rod 321 and the drive swing arm 33. That is, the first transmission rod 321 is poweredly connected to the drive swing arm 33. The first transmission rod 321 can transmit driving force to the second transmission rod 323, which in turn transmits driving force to the drive swing arm 33 to cause the drive swing arm 33 to swing. The driving member 31 is used to drive the first transmission rod 321 to rotate, thereby causing the second transmission rod 323 to push the drive swing arm 33 to swing. In other words, the driving member 31 is poweredly connected to the first transmission rod 321. The driving member 31 can transmit driving force to the first transmission rod 321 to rotate the first transmission rod 321 around the pin, and the second transmission rod 323, which is poweredly connected to the first transmission rod 321, moves synchronously, thereby causing the drive swing arm 33 to swing.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the driving component 31, the first transmission rod 321, the second transmission rod 323, and the driving swing arm 33 are sequentially connected by a power connection. Both the first transmission rod 321 and the driving swing arm 33 are connected to the elbow rest base 1 via a pin. That is, the first transmission rod 321 and the driving swing arm 33 only rotate around the pin, while the second transmission rod 323 can move in a vertical plane. The driving component 31 provides the driving force for the rotation of the first transmission rod 321 and the driving swing arm 33, as well as the movement of the second transmission rod 323. During actual operation, the driving component 31 drives the first transmission rod 321 to rotate around the pin. The end of the first transmission rod 321 drives the second transmission rod 323, which in turn drives one end of the driving swing arm 33 to rotate, causing the driving swing arm 33 to swing. Thus, through the cooperation of the first transmission rod 321 and the second transmission rod 323, the power transmission between the driving component 31 and the driving swing arm 33 is achieved.

[0051] In some embodiments, the drive element 31 is configured as a drive motor, which is connected to an input shaft 311. The input shaft 311 can transmit power, that is, the drive motor outputs power through the input shaft 311. The input shaft 311 is provided with a drive gear 312, and one end of the first transmission rod 321 is provided with a transmission gear 322. The drive gear 312 meshes with the transmission gear 322 to drive the first transmission rod 321 to rotate. In actual driving, the drive motor can drive the input shaft 311 and the drive gear 312 to rotate. The drive gear 312 drives the transmission gear 322 meshing with it to rotate synchronously, so that the first transmission rod 321 rotates. Thus, the driving force is transmitted from the drive motor to the first transmission rod 321.

[0052] And / or, in other embodiments, one end of the first transmission rod 321 is rotatably mounted on the elbow rest base 1, and the other end of the first transmission rod 321 is rotatably connected to the end of the second transmission rod 323 away from the drive swing arm 33.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, one end of the first transmission rod 321, equipped with a transmission gear 322, is rotatably mounted on the elbow rest base 1. This end is rotatably connected to the elbow rest base 1 via a pin. One end of the input shaft 311, equipped with a drive gear 312, meshes with the transmission gear 322. The other end of the input shaft 311 is connected to a drive motor. Thus, the drive motor transmits driving force to the first transmission rod 321 through the meshing connection of the drive gear 312 and the transmission gear 322, causing the first transmission rod 321 to rotate. The other end of the first transmission rod 321 is rotatably connected to the end of the second transmission rod 323 away from the drive arm 33, thereby driving the second transmission rod 323 to move synchronously. Thus, driving force is transmitted to the second transmission rod 323.

[0054] In some embodiments, one end of the drive swing arm 33 is rotatably connected to the end of the second transmission rod 323 opposite to the first transmission rod 321, and the other end of the drive swing arm 33 is connected to the first elbow pillow trim 2. Thus, the second transmission rod 323 can drive the drive swing arm 33 to swing. A rotatable connection part 331 is provided between the two ends of the drive swing arm 33. The rotatable connection part 331 is rotatably connected to the elbow pillow base 1. Specifically, if the rotatable connection part 331 includes a pin, the drive swing arm 33 is rotatably connected to the elbow pillow base 1 through the pin. Thus, the second transmission rod 323 can drive the drive swing arm 33 to swing around the rotatable connection part 331, thereby driving the first elbow pillow trim 2 to move.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the first transmission rod 321 rotates under the drive of the drive member 31. The end of the second transmission rod 323 that is rotatably connected to the first transmission rod 321 moves synchronously with the rotation of the first transmission rod 321. The other end of the second transmission rod 323 drives the lower end of the drive swing arm 33 connected to it to swing around the rotating connection part 331. Thus, the first elbow pillow trim 2 that is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive swing arm 33 can rise forward and upward or fall backward and downward.

[0056] In some embodiments, the elbow rest assembly 100 further includes at least one follower swing arm 34. That is, the number of drive swing arms 33 can be set to one, two, or more, with the specific number being flexibly selectable. The follower swing arm 34 is oscillatingly mounted on the elbow rest base 1. Specifically, the follower swing arm 34 is rotatably connected to the elbow rest base 1 via a pin. The follower swing arm 34 and the drive swing arm 33 are parallel and spaced apart, and are respectively connected to the first elbow rest trim 2. That is, the follower swing arm 34 and the drive swing arm 33 jointly support the first elbow rest trim 2, and the follower swing arm 34 is configured to swing with the drive swing arm 33. In other words, the drive swing arm 33 can drive the follower swing arm 34 to swing through the first elbow rest trim 2, thereby realizing the raising or lowering of the first elbow rest trim 2.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, a follower swing arm 34 is connected to the elbow rest base 1 via a pin. The follower swing arm 34 corresponds to and is parallel to the drive swing arm 33. The first elbow rest trim 2 is fixedly connected to the drive swing arm 33 and the follower swing arm 34. In the actual driving process, the drive component 31 transmits the driving force to the drive swing arm 33 through the transmission component 32. The drive swing arm 33 swings and drives the first elbow rest trim 2 to move synchronously. The follower swing arm 34, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the first elbow rest trim 2, can rotate around the pin when the first elbow rest trim 2 moves, so that the first elbow rest trim 2 can rise or fall smoothly and can provide support for the first elbow rest trim 2.

[0058] In some embodiments, both the follower arm 34 and the drive arm 33 include a mounting rod portion and two swing portions. One end of each swing portion is rotatably connected to the elbow rest base 1, and the mounting rod portion is connected to the other end of each swing portion. Specifically, the mounting rod portion of the drive arm 33 can be configured as a first mounting rod portion 332, and both swing portions can be configured as first swing portions 333. The mounting rod portion of the follower arm 34 can be configured as a second mounting rod portion 341, and both swing portions can be configured as second swing portions 342. In other words, both first swing parts 333 and both second swing parts 342 are rotatably connected to the elbow pillow base 1. For example, both swing parts can be connected to the elbow pillow base 1 by a pin. The other ends of the first swing parts 333 and the second swing parts 342 are respectively connected to the first mounting rod part 332 and the second mounting rod part 341. That is, the first mounting rod part 332 is connected to the two first swing parts 333 at two positions in the axial direction, and the second mounting rod part 341 is connected to the two second swing parts 342 at two positions in the axial direction. Thus, the driving swing arm 33 and the follower swing arm 34 are formed respectively, and the first elbow pillow trim 2 is mounted and supported above the mounting rod part.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the first mounting rod 332 and the second mounting rod 341 can be fixedly connected to the first elbow rest trim 2, such as by threaded connection or clamp connection. The transmission assembly 32 can transmit the driving force to a first swing part 333, causing the first swing part 333 to swing around the rotating connection part 331. The swing of the first swing part 333 drives the first mounting rod 332 and the other first swing part 333 to swing synchronously in the same direction. The first elbow rest trim 2 connected to the first mounting rod 332 moves accordingly and drives the second mounting rod 341 and the second swing part 342 to swing. Thus, the first elbow rest trim 2 can rise and fall.

[0060] In some embodiments, the elbow rest assembly 100 further includes a second elbow rest panel 4, which is fixedly installed on the elbow rest base 1. The first elbow rest panel 2 and the second elbow rest panel 4 are distributed along the front-back direction on the elbow rest base 1 to jointly cover the top of the elbow rest base 1. The second elbow rest panel 4 can be threaded to the elbow rest base 1 with bolts or fixedly connected to the elbow rest base 1 in other ways. The specific connection method is optional. The first elbow rest panel 2 and the second elbow rest panel 4 are distributed along the front-back direction, such as... Figure 4 As shown, when the first elbow pillow trim 2 closes the elbow pillow base 1, the first elbow pillow trim 2 and the second elbow pillow trim 4 cooperate to cover the elbow pillow base 1.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first elbow rest panel 2 is configured to be slidably connected to the drive mechanism 3 along the vehicle's lateral direction, and the first elbow rest panel 2 is slidable along the vehicle's lateral direction to selectively open or close at least a portion of the top of the elbow rest base 1. That is, the first mounting rod portion 332 and the second mounting rod portion 341 can slide laterally on the first swing portion 333 and the second swing portion 342, respectively, and the mounting rod portion and the swing portion are slidably connected. The first mounting rod portion 332 and the second mounting rod portion 341 are respectively provided with a first annular limiting portion 3321 and a second annular limiting portion 3411, that is, the first mounting rod portion 332 and the second mounting rod portion 341 slide laterally only toward the position of the driver, thereby providing support for the driver's arm.

[0062] It should be noted that the elbow pillow base 1 is provided with a first limiting groove 11 and a first limiting protrusion 12 that cooperate with the first elbow pillow decorative panel 2. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figures 2-4 As shown, the elbow rest base 1 is provided with a first limiting groove 11 and a first limiting protrusion 12. Simultaneously, the first elbow rest trim 2 is provided with a second limiting groove 21 and a second limiting protrusion 22 that limit and engage with the elbow rest base 1. When the elbow rest trim 2 is closed, the first limiting protrusion 12 moves into the second limiting groove 21, and the second limiting protrusion 22 moves into the first limiting groove 11. This causes the first limiting protrusion 12 and the second limiting protrusion 22 to press against each other in the front-back direction, thereby achieving a limiting engagement of the first elbow rest trim 2 in the front-back direction. This ensures the stability of the position of the first elbow rest trim 2; that is, when the elbow rest assembly 100 is in the closed state, the first elbow rest trim 2 and the elbow rest base 1 will not experience relative displacement in the front-back direction.

[0063] It should be noted that the drive mechanism 3 can be fixedly installed to the elbow rest base 1 by bolts. The elbow rest assembly 100 is provided with a cover plate 5, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the cover plate 5 can shield the elbow pillow base 1 and the drive mechanism 3 to prevent foreign objects from entering the elbow pillow assembly 100 when the first elbow pillow trim plate 2 opens the elbow pillow base 1, thereby ensuring that the drive mechanism 3 can work normally.

[0064] This utility model also proposes a vehicle.

[0065] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an elbow rest assembly 100 of any of the above embodiments. By providing a drive mechanism 3 on the elbow rest base 1 and power-connecting the drive mechanism 3 to the first elbow rest trim 2, the drive mechanism 3 controls the raising or lowering of the first elbow rest trim 2. During the raising and lowering process, the position of the first elbow rest trim 2 in the front-to-back direction can be adjusted flexibly to regulate the relative height and front-to-back distance between the first elbow rest trim 2 and the driver's arm. This facilitates the first elbow rest trim 2 in providing support for the driver's arm, reducing fatigue, improving safety, and is characterized by its simple structure and low cost.
