Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of armrest box technology, and in particular to an armrest box with a heating and cooling ventilation switch assembly. Background Technology

[0002] A car armrest is an accessory installed between two seats, belonging to the car's interior system. Its ergonomic design aims to provide a place for the driver's arm to rest during long drives, preventing soreness, numbness, and stiffness. Currently, wireless charging devices are mostly mounted horizontally on the armrest for ease of use. Furthermore, current charging docks have high charging power. When in use, the back of the phone is pressed against the dock, causing significant heat generation. Insufficient heat dissipation can directly affect the phone's internal electronic components.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN116653731B discloses a car armrest box with a heating and cooling ventilation switch assembly. Addressing the issue that the charging dock is exposed, and given the complex internal environment of a vehicle, contact with water or other debris can cause short circuits or static electricity leading to open flames, posing a safety hazard, this invention proposes the following solution: The armrest box body includes a front box, a middle box, and a rear box, with a wireless charging phone box mounted on the middle box. This car armrest box with a heating and cooling ventilation switch assembly utilizes a flip-up wireless charging phone box. During charging, the box flips upwards for easy placement and charging of the phone. When not in use, the wireless charging phone box is horizontal, with the opening concealed, effectively preventing water or other debris from entering and avoiding short circuits or static electricity from debris causing open flames, thus improving safety and enhancing usability. Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects exist: the device closes the storage compartment by rotating the lid located above the storage compartment. In actual use, when staff use the wireless charging phone box, the top of the phone tends to extend towards the lid, which can lead to a short distance between the phone and the lid. When staff rotate the lid, they may accidentally touch the charging phone, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a handrail box with a heating and cooling ventilation switch assembly.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an armrest box with a hot and cold ventilation switch assembly, including an armrest box body, a wireless charging mobile phone box disposed on the armrest box body, a hot and cold air switch disposed on the armrest box body, and a water cup holder disposed on the armrest box body. The upper surface of the armrest box body is provided with a storage groove, the armrest box body is provided with a box cover for closing the storage groove, and the armrest box body is provided with a limiting component for limiting the box cover.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when staff need to charge their mobile phones, they simply place the phone in the wireless charging box, which automatically charges the phone. At this time, staff can adjust the vehicle's air conditioning by turning the hot / cold air switch to regulate the interior temperature. Subsequently, when staff need to open the lid, they simply press the drive block on their side and lift the lid upwards to separate one side of the lid from the drive block. Simultaneously, the limiting component still limits the other side of the lid, thus improving its stability. Throughout this process, all operations are performed on the staff's side, reducing the probability of accidental phone touches and improving the user experience.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the box cover is provided with a rotating groove, and both sides of the inner wall of the rotating groove are provided with sliding grooves. The limiting component includes a first rotating block fixed to the upper surface of the armrest box body, two rotating rods respectively slidably disposed in the two sliding grooves, two compression springs with one end fixed to the side wall of the two rotating rods away from the first rotating block, and a driving device disposed on the box cover for driving the rotating rods. The other ends of the two compression springs are respectively fixed to the inner walls of the two sliding grooves that are far apart from each other. Both ends of the side wall of the first rotating block are provided with rotating holes that match the rotating rods.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lid closes the storage slot, the two rotating rods are connected to the two rotating holes under the action of two compression springs, thus allowing the two rotating rods to cooperate in limiting the lid's position and keeping it stable. Subsequently, when the staff needs to open the lid, they only need to press the drive block closest to them, causing the rotating rod on that side to separate from the rotating hole under the action of the drive device. At this point, the staff only needs to lift the lid to rotate it upwards, thereby opening the lid and reducing the probability of the staff accidentally touching their phone.

[0009] Furthermore, drive grooves are provided on the two opposite side walls of the box cover. The drive device includes two connecting ropes with one end fixed to the two rotating rods on the side walls that are far apart from each other, and two drive blocks that are slidably disposed in the two drive grooves. The two drive blocks are fixed to the two connecting ropes respectively.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when workers need to open the box lid, they need to separate the rotating rod on the side closest to them from the rotating hole. At this time, workers only need to press the corresponding drive block to make the connecting rope move with the drive block, thereby moving the rotating rod connected to the connecting rope closer to the drive block, and thus separating the rotating rod from the rotating hole, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation for workers.

[0011] Furthermore, a return spring is fixed on the inner wall of each of the two drive slots, and the other end of each return spring is fixed to one of the two drive blocks respectively.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator releases the drive block, the drive block quickly resets under the action of the reset spring, and the operator does not need to actively slide the drive block, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation for the operator.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the box cover is provided with a receiving groove, and a second rotating block is fixed on the upper surface of the armrest box body. The receiving groove is used to receive the second rotating block.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the second rotating block improves the stability of the lid and reduces the probability of the lid shaking under external force, thereby improving the user experience of the lid.

[0015] Furthermore, both of the rotating rods have inclined surfaces on their bottom surfaces.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the staff opens the box cover, they only need to pull the box cover down to make the inclined surface of the rotating rod press against the edge of the first rotating block, so that the rotating rod can be automatically retracted into the sliding groove. There is no need for the staff to actively retract the rotating rod, thus reducing the difficulty of operation for the staff.

[0017] Furthermore, the drive block is made of stainless steel.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper surface of the lid is covered with suede.

[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. In this application, when a staff member needs to charge their mobile phone, they simply place the phone in the wireless charging box, which automatically charges the phone. At this time, the staff member can adjust the vehicle's air conditioning by turning on the hot / cold air switch, thus regulating the interior temperature. Subsequently, when the staff member needs to open the lid, they simply press the drive block on their side and lift the lid upwards, separating one side of the lid from the drive block. Simultaneously, the limiting component still limits the other side of the lid, improving its stability. Throughout this process, all operations are performed on the staff member's side, reducing the probability of accidental phone touch and improving the user experience.

[0021] 2. In this application, when the lid closes the storage slot, the two rotating rods are connected to the two rotating holes under the action of two compression springs, thereby limiting the lid's position and keeping it stable. Subsequently, when the worker needs to open the lid, they only need to press the drive block closest to them, causing the rotating rod on that side to separate from the rotating hole under the action of the drive device. At this point, the worker only needs to lift the lid to rotate it upwards, thus opening the lid and reducing the probability of accidental phone touch. 3. In this application, when the worker needs to open the lid, they need to separate the rotating rod closest to them from the rotating hole. At this point, the worker only needs to press the corresponding drive block, causing the connecting rope to move with the drive block, thus moving the rotating rod connected to the connecting rope closer to the drive block, thereby separating the rotating rod from the rotating hole, thus reducing the worker's operational difficulty.

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown in the illustration, this application discloses an armrest box with a heating and cooling ventilation switch assembly, including an armrest box body 1, a wireless charging phone holder 11, a heating and cooling ventilation switch 2, a water cup holder assembly 21, a lid 31, a limiting assembly 4, a return spring 6, and a second rotating block 7. The wireless charging phone holder 11 is mounted on the armrest box body 1, and the heating and cooling ventilation switch 2 is also mounted on the armrest box body 1. The water cup holder assembly 21 is mounted on the armrest box body 1 and is used to store water cups. A storage groove 3 is formed on the upper surface of the armrest box body 1, and the lid 31 is mounted on the armrest box body 1 to close the storage groove 3.

[0030] The bottom surface of the lid 31 has a rotating groove 32, and both sides of the inner wall of the rotating groove 32 have sliding grooves 33. A limiting component 4 is installed on the armrest box body 1 to limit the lid 31. The limiting component 4 includes a first rotating block 41, a rotating rod 42, a compression spring 43, and a driving device 5. The first rotating block 41 is a rectangular block structure, fixed to the upper surface of the armrest box body 1, and both ends of the side wall of the first rotating block 41 have rotating holes 44 that match the rotating rod 42. The rotating rod 42 is a round rod structure, and there are two rotating rods 42, which are slidably installed in the two sliding grooves 33 respectively. There are two compression springs 43, and one end of each compression spring 43 is fixed to the side wall of the two rotating rods 42 away from the first rotating block 41, and the other end of each compression spring 43 is fixed to the inner wall of the two sliding grooves 33 away from each other.

[0031] When the lid 31 closes the storage slot 3, the two rotating rods 42, under the action of the two compression springs 43, are connected to the two rotating holes 44, thereby allowing the two rotating rods 42 to cooperate in limiting the lid 31 and keeping it stable. Subsequently, when the staff needs to open the lid 31, they only need to press the drive block 52 on their side, which will cause the rotating rod 42 on their side to separate from the rotating hole 44 under the action of the drive device 5. At this time, the staff only needs to lift the lid 31 to rotate it upwards, thus opening the lid 31 and reducing the probability of the staff accidentally touching their phone.

[0032] The lid 31 has drive grooves 45 on its two opposite side walls. A drive device 5 is mounted on the lid 31 and is used to drive the rotating rod 42. The drive device 5 includes a connecting rope 51 and a drive block 52. There are two connecting ropes 51, and one end of each connecting rope 51 is fixed to the two mutually distant side walls of the two rotating rods 42. The drive block 52 is a block structure, and there are two drive blocks 52, which are slidably mounted in the two drive grooves 45. The two drive blocks 52 are fixed to the two connecting ropes 51 respectively, and the drive blocks 52 are made of stainless steel.

[0033] When an operator needs to open the box cover 31, they must separate the rotating rod 42 closest to them from the rotating hole 44. At this time, the operator simply needs to press the corresponding drive block 52 to move the connecting rope 51 along with the drive block 52. This causes the rotating rod 42, which is connected to the connecting rope 51, to move closer to the drive block 52, thereby separating the rotating rod 42 from the rotating hole 44, thus reducing the operator's difficulty in operation.

[0034] Two return springs 6 are provided, with one end of each spring fixed to the inner wall of one drive groove 45, and the other end of each spring fixed to one drive block 52. When the operator releases the drive block 52, the drive block 52 quickly resets under the action of the return springs 6, eliminating the need for the operator to actively slide the drive block 52, thus reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0035] The bottom surface of the lid 31 has a receiving groove 61. The second rotating block 7 is a rectangular block structure and is fixed to the upper surface of the armrest box body 1. The second rotating block 7 improves the stability of the lid 31 and reduces the probability of the lid 31 shaking under the action of external force, thereby improving the user experience of the lid 31.

[0036] To reduce the difficulty of operation for workers, both rotating rods 42 have inclined surfaces on their bottom surfaces. When the worker opens the box cover 31, the worker only needs to pull down the box cover 31 to make the inclined surfaces of the rotating rods 42 press against the edge of the first rotating block 41, thereby causing the rotating rods 42 to automatically retract into the sliding groove 33. There is no need for the worker to actively retract the rotating rods 42, thus reducing the difficulty of operation for workers.

[0037] To improve the user experience of the lid 31, the upper surface of the lid 31 is covered with suede 8.

[0038] The working principle of the armrest box with the heating and cooling ventilation switch assembly in this embodiment is as follows: When the staff needs to charge their mobile phone, they only need to place the phone in the wireless charging phone box 11, which will automatically charge the phone. At this time, the staff only needs to turn the heating and cooling switch 2 to adjust the air conditioning in the car, thereby regulating the temperature inside the car. Subsequently, when the staff needs to open the lid 31, they only need to press the drive block 52 on their own side and lift the lid 31 upwards, which will separate one side of the lid 31 from the drive block. At the same time, the limiting component 4 still limits the other side of the lid 31, thereby improving the stability of the lid 31. During this process, all operations of the staff are located on their own side, thereby reducing the probability of the staff accidentally touching the phone, and thus improving the user experience. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions within the scope of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principles of this utility model should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
