[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a car interior armrest structure, comprising:
[0029] The handrail housing 1 has a connecting support rod 11 fixedly connected to its outer wall;
[0030] Hidden storage mechanism 2 is installed on the armrest shell 1 and is used to store items in a hidden manner.
[0031] Adjustable support mechanism 3 is located on top of the hidden storage mechanism 2 and is used to provide adjustable support for the user's arm.
[0032] The hidden storage mechanism 2 includes a first side plate 21, a second side plate 22, a reinforcing frame 23, and a top plate 28. The first side plate 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the handrail housing 1 on one side, and the second side plate 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the handrail housing 1 on the other side. The reinforcing frame 23 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the handrail housing 1. A slider 26 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the reinforcing frame 23. A connecting rod 27 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the slider 26. A hidden door panel 24 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 27 away from the slider 26. An elastic element 25 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the hidden door panel 24. The end of the elastic element 25 away from the hidden door panel 24 is fixedly connected to the second side plate 22. The top plate 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the handrail housing 1. 21. The cooperation of the second side panel 22 and the top panel 28 can integrate a box structure into this structure. The inner cavity of this box structure can be used to store valuables and private items. In the event of theft, the items inside the cavity are not easily stolen, reducing the probability of item loss. Through the design of the reinforcing frame 23, the entire armrest shell 1 can be reinforced. Pushing the hidden door panel 24 in the direction of the connecting support rod 11 can open the box structure, allowing the user to store and retrieve items. When the hidden door panel 24 is opened, the elastic element 25 is compressed, and the slider 26 slides on the outer wall of the reinforcing frame 23. After releasing the hidden door panel 24, the elastic force of the elastic element 25 can drive the slider 26 to return to its axial position, realizing the automatic closing function and increasing the convenience of use.
[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a through groove 221 is provided on the second side panel 22, and a strip groove is provided on the hidden door panel 24. The design of the through groove 221 makes the box structure formed by the armrest shell 1, the first side panel 21, the second side panel 22 and the top panel 28 have an opening, which can be used to store and retrieve items. The design of the strip groove makes it easy for users to push the hidden door panel 24.
[0034] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a connecting strip 222 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second side panel 22 near the top. A covering cloth 223 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting strip 222. A sub-hook and loop fastener 224 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the covering cloth 223. A female hook and loop fastener 225 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second side panel 22. Through the design of the covering cloth 223, the through groove 221 can be covered, reducing the probability of being discovered and increasing the anti-theft performance. In the initial state, the sub-hook and loop fastener 224 is attached to the female hook and loop fastener 225 to fix the position of the covering cloth 223. When in use, the sub-hook and loop fastener 224 is peeled off from the female hook and loop fastener 225, and then the hidden door panel 24 can be operated.
[0035] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the adjustable support mechanism 3 includes an I-shaped track 31, which is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 28. Limiting blocks 32 are fixedly installed at both ends of the I-shaped track 31. A sliding strip seat 33 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the I-shaped track 31. Through the connection design between the I-shaped track 31 and the sliding strip seat 33, the user can slide and adjust the support structure at the top to adjust the extension amount, which can provide better support for users of different sizes.
[0036] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, an adjusting plate 34 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding bar seat 33, and an L-shaped block 35 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the adjusting plate 34. A locking bolt 36 is threadedly connected to the L-shaped block 35. The threaded end of the locking bolt 36 is in movable contact with the top of the top plate 28. When the adjusting plate 34 is slidably adjusted as a whole, the locking bolt 36 is loosened first, and then the adjusting plate 34 can be slidably adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the locking bolt 36 is tightened.
[0037] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a polyurethane foam filler 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment plate 34, and a leather sleeve 38 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment plate 34. The polyurethane foam filler 37 is located in the inner cavity of the leather sleeve 38. Through the cooperation of the polyurethane foam filler 37 and the leather sleeve 38, the user's arm can be flexibly supported, improving the user's comfort. The design of the leather sleeve 38 improves the dirt resistance.
[0038] Working principle: In use, this structure is connected to the vehicle's armrest box structure from the connecting support rod 11. Through the cooperation of polyurethane foam filler 37 and leather sleeve 38, it can provide flexible support for the user's arm. If the position of the leather sleeve 38 needs to be adjusted, first loosen the locking bolt 36, and then the leather sleeve 38 can be slidably adjusted. After adjustment, tighten the locking bolt 36. The armrest shell 1, side plate 21, side plate 22 and top plate 28 cooperate to integrate a box structure on this structure. The inner cavity of the box structure can be used to store valuables and private items. When storing or retrieving items, push the hidden door panel 24 in the direction of the connecting support rod 11. When the hidden door panel 24 is opened, the elastic element 25 will be compressed. At the same time, the slider 26 will slide on the outer wall of the reinforcing frame 23. After releasing the hidden door panel 24, the elastic force of the elastic element 25 can drive the slider 26 to return to its axial position, realizing the automatic closing function.
[0039] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
