Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0037] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 This application describes the armrest box assembly 10 provided in an embodiment.

[0038] Firstly, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, this application embodiment provides an armrest box assembly 10, including: armrest box body 1, support plate 2 and locking member 3.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-4 The support plate 2 is movably disposed on the upper side of the armrest box body 1 along the length direction of the armrest box body 1; the locking member 3 is used to lock the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2. It can be understood that by making the support plate 2 movable along the length direction of the armrest box body 1, the position of the user's arm support in the length direction of the armrest box body 1 can be adjusted, which can meet the personalized needs of different users and improve driving comfort.

[0040] The locking component 3 is used to lock the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2, so that when the user adjusts the support plate 2 to a suitable position, the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2 can be locked together, thereby preventing the support plate 2 from slipping, improving the support reliability of the support plate 2, further improving driving comfort, and ensuring driving safety.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the armrest box body 1 includes a storage box 11 and a cover plate 12. The cover plate 12 is rotatably disposed on the upper opening of the storage box 11, and the support plate 2 is disposed on the upper side of the cover plate 12. Thus, the stacked arrangement of the cover plate 12 and the support plate 2 in the vertical direction improves the reliability of support for the user's arm.

[0042] The armrest box assembly 10 provided in this embodiment of the application has a support plate 2 movably disposed on the upper side of the armrest box body 1 along the length direction of the armrest box body 1, thereby realizing the adjustment of the user's arm support position in the length direction of the armrest box body 1, which can meet the personalized needs of different users and improve driving comfort. The locking member 3 is used to lock the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2, so that when the user adjusts the support plate 2 to a suitable position, the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2 can be locked together, thereby preventing the support plate 2 from slipping, improving the support reliability of the support plate 2, and further improving driving comfort.

[0043] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the support plate 2 has protrusions 21 at both ends along the width direction of the armrest box body 1, and the armrest box body 1 has sliding grooves 13 on both sides along the width direction of the armrest box body 1 that cooperate with the protrusions 21. The sliding grooves 13 extend along the length direction of the armrest box body 1, and the protrusions 21 are movably disposed in the sliding grooves 13 along the length direction of the armrest box body 1. It should be noted that the sliding grooves 13 are disposed on the cover plate 12 of the armrest box body 1.

[0044] It is understandable that the protrusions 21 at both ends of the support plate 2 along the width direction of the armrest box body 1 are provided in the sliding grooves 13 on both sides of the armrest box body 1 along the width direction of the armrest box body 1. On the one hand, this can limit the vertical movement of the support plate 2 and the armrest box body 1, thereby ensuring reliable installation of the support plate 2 and the armrest box body 1, preventing the support plate 2 from detaching from the armrest box body 1, and improving the reliability of the support. On the other hand, it makes the sliding of the support plate 2 relative to the armrest box body 1 smooth and reliable.

[0045] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the locking member 3 is disposed on at least one side of the support plate 2 along the width direction of the armrest box body 1. For example, in this utility model, the locking member 3 is disposed on one side of the support plate 2 along the width direction of the armrest box body 1. However, this utility model is not limited to this, and the locking member 3 can also be disposed on both sides of the support plate 2 along the width direction of the armrest box body 1. The locking member 3 is movably inserted through the protrusion 21 along the width direction of the armrest box body 1 and is adapted to abut against the bottom wall of the slide groove 13. It should be noted that the slide groove 13 is disposed on the cover plate 12 of the armrest box body 1, and the locking member 3 is adapted to abut against the cover plate 12 of the armrest box body 1, thereby realizing the locking between the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2.

[0046] It is understandable that the locking element 3 and the protrusion 21 can be connected by threads, that is, the outer peripheral wall of the locking element 3 has external threads, and the inner peripheral wall of the corresponding through hole of the protrusion 21 has internal threads. Thus, while the locking element 3 and the protrusion 21 are connected, they can also be adjusted by moving along the width direction of the armrest box body 1.

[0047] When it is necessary to lock the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2, the locking member 3 moves along the width direction of the armrest box body 1 toward the bottom wall of the slide groove 13, so that the locking member 3 abuts against the bottom wall of the slide groove 13, and the protrusion 21 and the bottom wall of the slide groove 13 are tightly pressed together, thereby achieving the locking of the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2.

[0048] When it is necessary to unlock the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2, the locking member 3 moves away from the bottom wall of the slide groove 13 along the width direction of the armrest box body 1, so that the locking member 3 is separated from the bottom wall of the slide groove 13, so that the protrusion 21 can move along the length direction of the armrest box body 1 on the slide groove 13, thereby unlocking the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2.

[0049] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, on one side of the armrest box body 1 in the width direction, there is a protrusion 21 extending along the length direction of the armrest box body 1; thereby, it is convenient to manufacture the protrusion 21 and the strength of the protrusion 21 is improved.

[0050] In one possible implementation of this application, the protrusions 21 are a plurality of spaced apart along the length of the armrest box body 1. This reduces the weight of the support plate 2.

[0051] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the armrest box assembly 10 also includes: a base plate 4 and a drive mechanism 5. The armrest box body 1 is movably disposed on the base plate 4 in the vertical direction; the drive mechanism 5 is disposed on the base plate 4 and is used to drive the armrest box body 1 to move in the vertical direction.

[0052] It is understandable that by driving the armrest box body 1 to move in the vertical direction through the drive mechanism 5, the position of the armrest box body 1 can be adjusted in the vertical direction, thereby meeting the support height requirements of users of different heights, further satisfying the personalized needs of different users, and improving driving comfort.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the armrest box body 1 is also equipped with a control button 6. The control button 6 can control the drive mechanism 5 to drive the armrest box body 1 to move a certain distance in the vertical direction, thereby further meeting the personalized needs of different users and improving driving comfort.

[0054] Meanwhile, the distance of the armrest box body 1 in the vertical direction can be adjusted by machine, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of the armrest box body 1. This simplifies operation and requires less attention from the user, allowing the user to focus more on driving control while adjusting the armrest box body 1, thereby improving driving safety.

[0055] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 51, a lead screw 52, ​​and a lifting block 53. The drive motor 51 is mounted on the base plate 4. The lead screw 52 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 51 and extends in the vertical direction. The lifting block 53 is sleeved on the lead screw 52 and can move in the vertical direction. The lifting block 53 is connected to the armrest box body 1.

[0056] It is understood that the drive motor 51 is fixedly connected to the base plate 4, and the output shaft of the drive motor 51 drives the lead screw 52 to rotate. The external thread on the outer peripheral wall of the lead screw 52 cooperates with the internal thread in the through hole of the lifting block 53, thereby driving the lifting block 53 to move in the vertical direction. Through the connection between the lifting block 53 and the armrest box body 1, the armrest box body 1 is driven to move in the vertical direction, thus realizing that the drive mechanism 5 drives the armrest box body 1 to move in the vertical direction.

[0057] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive mechanism 5 also includes a guide cylinder 54 and a guide rod 55. The guide cylinder 54 is mounted on the base plate 4. The guide rod 55 is movably mounted in the guide cylinder 54 in the vertical direction and is connected to the lifting block 53.

[0058] It is understandable that by setting the guide rod 55 and the guide cylinder 54, the lifting block 53 can move along the length of the guide rod 55. The guide rod 55 can prevent the lifting block 53 from moving in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, making the movement of the lifting block 53 in the vertical direction more stable, thereby making the movement of the armrest box body 1 in the vertical direction more stable.

[0059] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, there are multiple guide cylinders 54 and multiple guide rods 55 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple guide cylinders 54. It should be noted that "multiple guide cylinders 54 and guide rods 55" refers to the presence of multiple guide cylinders 54 and guide rods 55 within a single drive mechanism 5. This further improves the stability of the armrest box body 1 in the vertical direction.

[0060] For example, in this utility model, there are two guide cylinders 54 and guide rods 55, which are respectively located on both sides of the lifting block 53 along the width direction of the armrest box body 1. However, this utility model is not limited to this. There can be more guide cylinders 54 and guide rods 55, such as 3, 4, 5 or 6.

[0061] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drive mechanism 5 is rotatably connected to the armrest box body 1. It can be understood that this rotatable connection allows for adjustment of the angle between the armrest box body 1 and the base plate 4, further meeting the personalized needs of different users and improving driving comfort. The rotation axis between the drive mechanism 5 and the armrest box body 1 can extend along the length of the armrest box body 1, along its width, or along its vertical direction.

[0062] For example in Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the example shown, the drive mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 51, a lead screw 52, ​​and a lifting block 53. The armrest box body 1 and the lifting block 53 are rotatably connected by a hinge, and the rotation axis of the hinge extends along the width direction of the armrest box body 1.

[0063] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive mechanism 5 consists of multiple components spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the armrest box body 1. This makes the drive of the armrest box body 1 more stable and reliable.

[0064] For example in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example shown, there are two drive mechanisms 5 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the armrest box body 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. There can be more drive mechanisms 5, such as 3, 4, 5 or 6.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4As shown, multiple drive mechanisms 5 are rotatably connected to the armrest box body 1, and at least two drive mechanisms 5 are respectively located on both sides of the armrest box body 1 in the width direction or on both sides of the armrest box body 1 in the length direction. Thus, by independently controlling the perimeter of the armrest box body 1 through multiple drive mechanisms 5, the perimeter of the armrest box body 1 is made to have different heights in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the rotation of the armrest box body 1. This allows adjustment of the angle between the armrest box body 1 and the base plate 4, further meeting the personalized needs of different users and improving driving comfort.

[0066] For example in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example shown, there are two drive mechanisms 5, which are respectively located on both sides of the armrest box body 1 along its length. At this time, the rotation axis of the armrest box body 1 relative to the drive mechanism 5 extends along the width direction of the armrest box body 1.

[0067] Meanwhile, there are multiple control buttons 6, and each of the multiple control buttons 6 can control multiple drive mechanisms 5 respectively.

[0068] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle including the aforementioned armrest box assembly 10.

[0069] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment, by setting the aforementioned armrest box assembly 10, has a support plate 2 movably disposed on the upper side of the armrest box body 1 along the length direction of the armrest box body 1. This allows for adjustment of the user's arm support position along the length direction of the armrest box body 1, meeting the personalized needs of different users and improving driving comfort. The locking member 3 is used to lock the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2, enabling the user to lock the armrest box body 1 and the support plate 2 when adjusting the support plate 2 to a suitable position. This prevents the support plate 2 from slipping, improves the support reliability of the support plate 2, and further enhances driving comfort.

[0070] The sequence numbers of the embodiments in this application are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application.
