Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle component technology, and in particular to a center console cover, a center console, and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] In modern society, automobiles have become an indispensable means of transportation in people's daily lives. However, with the acceleration of urbanization and the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events, the risk of vehicles encountering sudden flooding while driving is also increasing. For example, a vehicle may accidentally drive into a river due to driver error or poor road conditions, or enter a flooded tunnel during heavy rain. These situations may not only cause damage to the vehicle, but may also pose a serious threat to the lives of the people inside.
[0003] In the event of a vehicle being submerged in water, occupants need to evacuate quickly to ensure their safety. However, many people may not be able to swim, or may be unable to effectively save themselves due to panic and stress. Traditional vehicle safety designs primarily focus on collision protection and anti-theft features, with less consideration given to escape measures in flooded situations. Therefore, how to provide effective escape methods when a vehicle is submerged, especially for non-swimmers, has become a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present application provides a center console cover, a center console, and a vehicle. By setting an airbag on the cover body of the center console cover, when an emergency occurs in which the vehicle is submerged in water, passengers can inflate the airbag to provide buoyancy support for the people inside the vehicle, thereby increasing the chances of escape for the people inside the vehicle.
[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a center console cover for a vehicle's center console. The center console includes a main body and a cover body for opening and closing the main body, the cover body having an accommodating space; an inflatable airbag foldably disposed within the accommodating space; and an airbag cover detachably connected to the cover body, the airbag cover being used to open and close the accommodating space.
[0006] This utility model's armrest box cover, while fulfilling the conventional opening and closing functions of the armrest box, integrates an airbag for evacuation. Under normal circumstances, the airbag is folded within the storage space, not affecting the normal use of the armrest box and improving the utilization of interior space. In an emergency where the vehicle is submerged, occupants can inflate the airbag, providing buoyancy support and increasing their chances of escape.
[0007] In some embodiments, the rescue airbag has a folded state and an inflated state, wherein in the folded state the rescue airbag is housed within the accommodating space, and in the inflated state at least a portion of the structure of the rescue airbag is outside the accommodating space.
[0008] This design makes the emergency airbag both flexible and practical. Under normal circumstances, the airbag is folded and compactly stored within the compartment of the cover. In emergencies, such as when a vehicle is flooded, the airbag can quickly inflate. This allows the airbag to provide critical safety for occupants without affecting the normal use of the vehicle.
[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rescue airbag is fixedly connected to the cover plate body and the airbag cover plate respectively.
[0010] On the one hand, the rescue airbags are fixedly connected to both the cover body and the airbag cover, which facilitates the rapid deployment of the airbags by occupants in an emergency. By improving the deployment efficiency of the airbags, occupants can quickly obtain buoyancy support from them. On the other hand, because the rescue airbags are fixedly connected to both the cover body and the airbag cover, under normal conditions, it is only necessary to ensure a stable connection between the airbag cover and the cover body. This allows the airbags to be securely stored in the storage space when folded, preventing them from shifting or unfolding due to vehicle bumps or other external factors, and ensuring the normal use of the vehicle's armrest box.
[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rescue airbag, when inflated, has a first side facing the cover plate body along its own thickness direction and a second side facing the airbag cover plate, wherein the first side is adhesively connected to the cover plate body; and / or, the second side is adhesively connected to the airbag cover plate.
[0012] In this way, the rescue airbag, the cover plate, and the airbag cover are all glued together, without damaging the structure of the rescue airbag. This allows the rescue airbag to remain inflated for an extended period during an emergency, thereby increasing the chances of escape for occupants. Simultaneously, because the rescue airbag, cover plate, and airbag cover are glued together to form a single structure, when the rescue airbag inflates to provide buoyancy to the occupants, the rescue airbag, cover plate, and airbag cover form a life-saving float, which further enhances the buoyancy experienced by occupants using the life-saving float, thus increasing their chances of escape.
[0013] In some embodiments, the rescue airbag includes: an airbag body, which is inflatable and has an inflation chamber; and an air nozzle, which is disposed on the airbag body, communicates with the inflation chamber, is openable and closable, and is used to inflate or deflate the inflation chamber.
[0014] In this way, in an emergency, the people inside the vehicle can quickly inflate the air chamber through the air nozzle, thereby expanding the air bag and providing buoyancy.
[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rescue airbag is provided with a gripping part.
[0016] During the inflation and deployment of the rescue airbag, the grip helps occupants more easily control and position it, ensuring proper deployment and providing optimal buoyancy support. Simultaneously, the grip provides a clear point of contact, allowing occupants to quickly and securely grasp the airbag in an emergency. This is especially important for non-swimmers or those who feel uneasy in the water, as the stable grip provides added reassurance.
[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the gripping part is formed as a hollow structure that penetrates the air bag body along the thickness direction of the air bag body, and in the inflated state, the inflation cavity surrounds the hollow structure.
[0018] The grip section, a perforated structure, extends through the thickness of the airbag body. This means that when the airbag is inflated, the inflation chamber surrounds this perforated structure. This design provides a natural gripping point, making it easier for users to grasp the rescue airbag in an emergency. When inflated, the inflation chamber surrounds the perforated structure, ensuring not only the overall buoyancy and stability of the airbag but also keeping the grip section open for easy handling. This surrounding design enhances the structural integrity of the airbag during inflation, preventing insufficient strength or leakage due to the perforation, and ensuring sustained buoyancy.
[0019] In some embodiments, the cover plate body is provided with a snap-fit structure, the snap-fit structure is located around the accommodating space, and the air bag cover plate is provided with a snap-fit engagement structure, the snap-fit engagement structure engaging with the snap-fit structure.
[0020] The combination of the snap-fit structure and the snap-fit engagement structure improves the stability of the rescue airbag during daily use and prevents it from deploying during normal opening and closing of the armrest box. At the same time, in the event of an emergency where the vehicle is submerged in water, the snap-fit engagement structure can be unlocked to allow the rescue airbag to deploy quickly.
[0021] Secondly, this utility model embodiment also provides an armrest box for a vehicle, comprising: a box body having a receiving cavity; and the aforementioned armrest box cover, wherein the cover body of the armrest box cover is movably connected to the box body to open or close the box body.
[0022] The armrest box of this utility model, due to the use of the aforementioned armrest box cover, allows for the removal of the armrest box cover or the rescue air bag on the armrest box cover in emergency situations where the vehicle is submerged in water. By blowing air into the rescue air bag, the inflated rescue air bag provides buoyancy support for the people inside the vehicle, thereby increasing the chances of escape for the people inside the vehicle.
[0023] Thirdly, this utility model embodiment also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned armrest box.
[0024] The vehicle of this utility model, due to the use of the aforementioned armrest box, allows for the removal of the armrest box cover or the rescue air bag on the armrest box cover in emergency situations where the vehicle is submerged in water. By blowing air into the rescue air bag, the inflated rescue air bag provides buoyancy support for the people inside the vehicle, thereby increasing the chances of their escape.

Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.
[0042] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.
[0043] In the event of a vehicle being submerged in water, occupants need to evacuate quickly to ensure their safety. However, many people may not be able to swim, or may be unable to effectively save themselves due to panic and stress. Traditional vehicle safety designs primarily focus on collision protection and anti-theft features, with less consideration given to escape measures in flooded situations. Therefore, how to provide effective escape methods when a vehicle is submerged, especially for non-swimmers, has become a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved.
[0044] In view of this, the present application provides a center console cover, a center console, and a vehicle. By setting an airbag on the cover body of the center console cover, when an emergency occurs in which the vehicle is submerged in water, passengers can inflate the airbag to provide buoyancy support for the people inside the vehicle, thereby increasing the chances of escape for the people inside the vehicle.
[0045] refer to Figures 1 to 6 In one aspect, the present invention provides a center armrest cover 100 for a vehicle center armrest 200, the center armrest 200 including a body 210.
[0046] The armrest box cover 100 may include: a cover body 110, an airbag 120, and an airbag cover 130.
[0047] refer to Figure 1 The cover body 110 is used to open and close the box body 210. For example, the cover body 110 can open and close the box body 210 by sliding, or the cover body 110 can open and close the box body 210 by flipping.
[0048] refer to Figures 2 to 6 The cover body 110 has a receiving space 111. The rescue airbag 120 is inflatable and foldable within the receiving space 111. That is, the rescue airbag 120 can have two states: one is folded and stored within the receiving space 111, without affecting the opening and closing process of the cover body 110; the other state is inflated. In an emergency where the vehicle is submerged, the occupants can inflate the rescue airbag 120, providing buoyancy support and increasing their chances of escape.
[0049] Understandably, the rescue airbag 120 of this application can be removed from the storage space 111 and used directly.
[0050] Alternatively, the rescue airbag 120 of this application can also be an integral structure with the cover body 110, with the cover body 110 detachably connected to the box body. For example, the cover body 110 can be rotatably mounted on the box body via a flip shaft. The box body can be provided with a notch communicating with the flip shaft. In an emergency, occupants can pull the flip shaft out through the notch to unlock the cover body 110 from the box body. Alternatively, the cover body 110 can be slidably mounted on the box body via a slide groove. One end of the slide groove (the front or rear end along the vehicle's longitudinal direction) can be set as an opening. In an emergency, occupants can pull the cover body 110 out through the opening to unlock the cover body 110 from the box body. In this way, the rescue airbag 120 and the cover body 110 are an integral structure. In an emergency, when the rescue airbag 120 is inflated, the cover body 110 can provide the user with a certain degree of support and grip, providing the user with a sense of security in an emergency.
[0051] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The airbag cover 130 is used to open and close the accommodating space 111. The airbag cover 130 and the cover body 110 can be detachably connected. In other words, when the airbag cover 130 is connected to the cover body 110, the airbag cover 130 blocks the cover body 110. At this time, the rescue airbag 120 is folded and stored in the accommodating space 111, the airbag cover 130 is separated from the cover body 110, and the accommodating space 111 is opened so that the rescue airbag 120 can be taken out and inflated so that the rescue airbag 120 can provide buoyancy support for the user. For example, the cover body 110 may be provided with an elastic latch facing into the box. When the airbag cover 130 blocks the accommodating space 111, the elastic latch abuts against the periphery of the side wall of the airbag cover 130 facing away from the accommodating space 111, so that the airbag cover 130 and the cover body 110 are relatively fixed. When an emergency occurs and the rescue airbag 120 needs to be used, the user only needs to move the elastic latch to unlock the airbag cover 130, which is conducive to the people in the vehicle quickly deploying the rescue airbag 120 and increasing the chance of rescue.
[0052] The armrest box cover 100 of this utility model, while satisfying the conventional opening and closing functions of the armrest box 200, integrates an airbag 120 on the cover body 110. Under normal conditions, the airbag 120 is folded within the accommodating space 111, not affecting the normal use of the armrest box 200, thus improving the space utilization rate inside the vehicle. In an emergency where the vehicle is submerged, occupants can inflate the airbag 120, providing buoyancy support and increasing their chances of escape.
[0053] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the rescue airbag 120 has a folded state and an inflated state. In the folded state, the rescue airbag 120 is housed in the accommodating space 111, so that the rescue airbag 120 does not occupy too much space when not in use, and does not affect the normal use function of the armrest box 200.
[0054] When inflated, at least a portion of the structure of the rescue airbag 120 is outside the accommodating space 111. In other words, the rescue airbag 120 can only be inflated after the airbag cover 130 is opened to prevent it from interfering with the normal use of the armrest box 200. Specifically, when inflated, the rescue airbag 120 may be partially located inside the accommodating space 111 and partially outside, or it may be entirely located outside the accommodating space 111, ensuring sufficient support area for the user during inflation.
[0055] This design allows the rescue airbag 120 to be both flexible and practical. Under normal circumstances, the rescue airbag 120 is folded and compactly stored within the storage space 111 of the cover body 110. In emergencies (such as when the vehicle is flooded), the rescue airbag 120 can quickly transform from a folded state to an inflatable state. This allows the rescue airbag 120 to provide critical safety for occupants without affecting the normal use of the vehicle.
[0056] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the rescue airbag 120 is fixedly connected to the cover plate body 110 and the airbag cover plate 130, respectively. On the one hand, since the rescue airbag 120 is fixedly connected to the cover plate body 110 and the airbag cover plate 130, when an emergency occurs, the user unlocks the airbag cover plate 130 and removes the airbag cover plate 130 from the cover plate body 110. The part of the rescue airbag 120 connected to the airbag cover plate 130 extends out of the accommodating space 111, so that the occupants of the vehicle can quickly deploy the rescue airbag 120 in an emergency. By improving the deployment efficiency of the rescue airbag 120, the occupants of the vehicle can obtain the buoyancy support of the rescue airbag 120 as soon as possible. On the other hand, since the rescue airbag 120 is fixedly connected to the cover body 110 and the airbag cover 130 respectively, in normal conditions, it is only necessary to ensure that the connection between the airbag cover 130 and the cover body 110 is stable, so that the rescue airbag 120 can be stably stored in the storage space 111 in the folded state, and will not be displaced or unfolded due to vehicle bumps or other external factors, and will not affect the normal use of the vehicle's armrest box 200.
[0057] refer to Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the inflated state, the rescue airbag 120 has a first side 121 and a second side 122 along its own thickness direction. The first side 121 faces the cover body 110, and the second side 122 faces the airbag cover 130. The first side 121 is glued to the cover body 110, so that the rescue airbag 120 and the cover body 110 are relatively fixed, thereby making the airbag stable when inflated and compactly stored in the accommodating space 111 in the folded state.
[0058] Optionally, the second side 122 can also be glued to the air bag cover 130, so that the rescue air bag 120 and the air bag cover 130 are relatively fixed together, and the rescue air bag 120 is simultaneously deployed when the air bag cover 130 is opened, so as to improve the inflation efficiency of the rescue air bag 120.
[0059] Thus, the rescue airbag 120 is glued to the cover body 110 and the airbag cover 130, without damaging the structure of the rescue airbag 120. This allows the rescue airbag 120 to remain inflated for an extended period during an emergency, thereby increasing the chances of escape for occupants. Simultaneously, because the rescue airbag 120, cover body 110, and airbag cover 130 are glued together to form an integral structure, when the rescue airbag 120 inflates to provide buoyancy to occupants, the rescue airbag 120, cover body 110, and airbag cover 130 form a life-saving float, which further enhances the buoyancy experienced by occupants using the life-saving float, thereby increasing their chances of escape.
[0060] Understandably, in other embodiments of this application, the rescue airbag 120 may be connected only to one of the airbag cover plate 130 or the cover plate body 110. For example, the rescue airbag 120 may be glued only to the airbag cover plate 130. In this case, the rescue airbag 120 can be removed simultaneously when the airbag cover plate 130 is opened. Alternatively, the rescue airbag 120 may also be glued only to the cover plate body 110 to prevent the rescue airbag 120 from falling off during normal use of the armrest box 200. It should be noted that the cover plate body 110 and the box body are detachably connected. In an emergency, the cover plate body 110 can be removed to inflate the rescue airbag 120, causing it to expand and provide buoyancy.
[0061] refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the rescue airbag 120 may include an airbag body 123 and an air nozzle 124. The airbag body 123 is inflatable and has an inflation chamber. The air nozzle 124 is disposed on the airbag body 123 and communicates with the inflation chamber. The air nozzle 124 is openable and closable, used to inflate or deflate the inflation chamber. For example, when the air nozzle 124 is open, a user can blow air into the inflation chamber through the air nozzle 124 to inflate the rescue airbag 120. When the rescue airbag 120 inflates to a certain extent, the air nozzle 124 closes to prevent air leakage, allowing the rescue airbag 120 to provide buoyancy for a long time. Thus, in an emergency, occupants can quickly inflate the inflation chamber through the air nozzle 124, thereby inflating the airbag body 123 and providing buoyancy.
[0062] Under normal circumstances, the air valve 124 can be in the open position to facilitate rapid inflation of the air chamber in an emergency.
[0063] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the rescue airbag 120 is provided with a grip portion 125. Exemplarily, the rescue airbag 120 may have a handle forming the grip portion 125, or a portion of the structure of the rescue airbag 120 (such as the portion near the edge) may be hollowed out, with the hollowed-out portion forming the grip portion 125. This allows the portion of the rescue airbag 120 surrounding the grip portion 125 to provide a gripping base for the user. During the inflation and deployment of the rescue airbag 120, the grip portion 125 helps occupants in the vehicle to more easily control and position the rescue airbag 120, ensuring that the rescue airbag 120 deploys correctly and provides optimal buoyancy support for the user. Simultaneously, the grip portion 125 provides the user with a clear grasping point, enabling occupants in the vehicle to quickly and securely grasp the rescue airbag 120 in an emergency.
[0064] Continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6According to some embodiments of this utility model, the grip portion 125 is formed as a hollow structure penetrating the airbag body 123 along its thickness direction. In the inflated state, the inflation cavity surrounds the hollow structure. Exemplarily, in the inflated state, the user's palm extends into the hollow structure to grip the portion of the airbag body 123 located around the hollow structure. The grip portion 125, as a hollow structure penetrating the thickness direction of the airbag body 123, means that in the inflated state, the inflation cavity surrounds the hollow structure. This design provides a natural gripping point, making it easier for the user to grasp the rescue airbag 120 in an emergency. In the inflated state, the inflation cavity surrounds the hollow structure, which not only ensures the overall buoyancy and stability of the airbag but also keeps the grip portion 125 open when the airbag inflates, facilitating gripping. The surrounding design helps improve the structural integrity of the airbag during inflation, preventing insufficient strength or leakage due to the hollow structure, and providing buoyancy for a longer period.
[0065] Furthermore, in order to enhance grip stability and prevent the rescue airbag 120 from slipping out of the hand, the user grip portion 125 on the airbag body 123 can be provided with leather or a flexible plate with a rough textured surface to improve grip stability.
[0066] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the cover plate body 110 is provided with a snap-fit structure 112, which is located around the accommodating space 111. The airbag cover plate 130 is provided with a snap-fit engagement structure 131, which engages with the snap-fit structure 112. For example, the snap-fit structure 112 may include a mounting post with a rotatable locking piece. When the airbag cover plate 130 blocks the accommodating space 111, the locking piece rotates and contacts a portion of the surface of the airbag cover plate 130 facing away from the accommodating space 111, forming the snap-fit engagement structure 131 in the contact area between the airbag cover plate 130 and the locking piece. When the locking piece contacts the surface of the airbag cover plate 130, the airbag cover plate 130 is relatively fixed to the cover plate body 110. When it is necessary to open the accommodating space 111 to remove the rescue airbag 120, simply rotate the locking piece to disengage it from the airbag cover plate 130.
[0067] The engagement structure 112 and the engagement structure 131 work together to improve the stability of the rescue airbag 120 during daily use and prevent the rescue airbag 120 from unfolding during the normal opening and closing of the armrest box 200. At the same time, in the event of an emergency where the vehicle is submerged in water, the engagement structure 131 and the engagement structure 112 can be unlocked to allow the rescue airbag 120 to unfold quickly.
[0068] refer to Figure 1Secondly, this utility model embodiment also provides an armrest box 200 for a vehicle. The armrest box 200 may include a box body 210 and the aforementioned armrest box cover 100. The box body 210 is provided with a receiving cavity 211. The cover body 110 of the armrest box cover 100 is movably connected to the box body 210 to open or close the box body 210.
[0069] The armrest box 200 of this utility model, due to the use of the armrest box cover 100 mentioned above, can provide buoyancy support for the people in the vehicle by removing the armrest box cover 100 or the rescue air bag 120 on the armrest box cover 100 in case of an emergency where the vehicle is flooded. This increases the chances of the people in the vehicle escaping.
[0070] Thirdly, this utility model embodiment also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned armrest box 200.
[0071] It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to large vehicles, small vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. Generally, a vehicle is equipped with wheels, a power source, and a transmission system between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit the power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing the wheels to rotate and thus driving the vehicle.
[0072] It should be noted that the type of power source of the vehicle is not limited in the embodiments of this application. For example, for fuel vehicles, the power source can refer to fuel engines such as gasoline engines and diesel engines; for electric vehicles, the power source can refer to electric motors; for hybrid vehicles, the power source can refer to engines or electric motors; for vehicles powered by other means, the power source can refer to devices that generate power.
[0073] The vehicle of this utility model, due to the use of the aforementioned armrest box 200, can, in the event of an emergency where the vehicle is submerged in water, remove the armrest box cover 100 or the rescue air bag 120 on the armrest box cover 100, inflate the rescue air bag 120, and provide buoyancy support to the people inside the vehicle through the inflated rescue air bag 120, thereby increasing the chances of the people inside the vehicle escaping.
[0074] 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.
