[0030] Example 1:
[0031] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatically opening car armrest box. The top of the armrest box body 8 is provided with a rectangular frame 6, and a cover plate 7 is rotatably mounted on the rectangular frame 6. An opening structure is provided between the rectangular frame 6 and the cover plate 7. In this opening structure, a push rod motor 1 and a slide rail 2 are installed in the cavities on both the left and right sides of the rectangular frame 6. The slide rail 2 is parallel to the moving direction of the output rod of the push rod motor 1. The push rod motor 1 is connected to the car's power supply and is powered by the car's power supply. A slider 3 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 2. The output rod of the push rod motor 1 is fixedly connected to the slider 3. A connecting block 4 is installed on the side of the slider 3. A strip-shaped through hole is provided for the connecting block 4 to pass through. One end of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 4, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cover plate 7. When the driver or passenger needs to open the car armrest box, they send a command to the controller through the control button 15 on the left or right side of the rectangular frame 6. The controller controls the push rod motor 1 to start, and its output rod drives the slider 3 to move backward along the slide rail 2. The connecting block 4 on the slider 3 moves backward accordingly, pushing the connecting rod 5 to lift the cover plate 7, thereby realizing the automatic opening of the car armrest box. When closing, the push rod motor 1 moves in the opposite direction, the slider 3 moves forward, and drives the connecting rod 5 to pull the cover plate 7 to close.
[0032] Example 2:
[0033] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment retains the existing manual opening function of the car armrest box to facilitate handling unexpected emergencies. In this embodiment, the rectangular frame 6 is rotatably installed at the top opening of the box body 8. A snap-fit structure is provided between the rectangular frame 6 and the box body 8. In this snap-fit structure, two symmetrical cylindrical cavities are opened on the top front side of the box body 8. Each cylindrical cavity is provided with a cylindrical block 11 that can slide left and right. The two cylindrical blocks 11 are connected to a spring 12 that is always in a compressed state at opposite ends. A buckle 13 is fixed on the top of the cylindrical block 11, and a pressure block 14 is fixed in front. The cylindrical cavities have strip-shaped through holes on the top and front for the buckle 13 and the pressure block 14 to pass through. A corresponding slot is opened at the bottom of the rectangular frame 6 to cooperate with the buckle 13.
[0034] In case of an unexpected situation, such as a power failure of the push rod motor 1, the user can manually open the car armrest box by pressing the pressure block 14 inward with two fingers at the same time, causing the cylindrical block 11 to slide into the cylindrical cavity against the elastic force of the spring 12, thereby driving the buckle 13 to move. When the buckle 13 disengages from the slot at the bottom of the rectangular frame 6, the lock between the rectangular frame 6 and the box body 8 can be released, and the rectangular frame 6 and the cover plate 7 can be flipped open together, thereby realizing the manual opening of the car armrest box.
[0035] When the car armrest box needs to be closed, first press down the two pressure blocks 14, then cover the rectangular frame 6, and then release the two pressure blocks 14. At this time, the two cylindrical blocks 11 return to their original positions under the elastic force of the spring 12, and the two buckles 13 are engaged in the slots at the bottom of the rectangular frame 6 to achieve locking between the rectangular frame 6 and the box body 8.
[0036] Example 3:
[0037] Based on Embodiment 2, this embodiment also includes a spring-loaded structure. Two arc-shaped protrusions 9 are fixed at the bottom of the rectangular frame 6. A groove is opened at the corresponding position on the top of the box body 8 and a spring piece 10 is installed. When manually opening the car armrest box, the user only needs to press the two pressure blocks 14 with two fingers at the same time. At the moment the buckle 13 disengages from the slot, the spring piece 10 will push the protrusions 9 upward, so that the buckle 13 completely leaves the slot. This design makes it easy for the user to open the car armrest box with one hand.
[0038] Meanwhile, the top of the buckle 13 is designed with a chamfer. When manually closing the car armrest box, simply press the rectangular frame 6 down to the bottom. The chamfered bevel of the buckle 13 is squeezed by the edge of the slot, which will cause the cylindrical block 11 to slide into the cylindrical cavity. After the buckle 13 is fully inserted into the slot, the cylindrical block 11 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the spring 12. The buckle 13 is then locked in the slot. This design makes it easy for users to close the car armrest box with one hand.
[0039] Example 4:
[0040] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides three charging ports 16 on the back of the housing 8 to meet the charging needs of electronic devices in the vehicle, such as a USB-A port, a USB-C port, and a Type-C port. These ports can be adapted to different types of data cables and electronic devices. When the electronic devices of rear passengers are low on power, they can plug the data cable into the corresponding charging port 16 to charge the devices without having to find additional charging equipment, thus improving the convenience of use in the vehicle. The charging ports 16 are connected to the vehicle's power supply and are powered by the vehicle's power supply.
[0041] Example 5:
[0042] To improve user comfort when using the armrest box, this embodiment improves the cover plate 7. The cover plate 7 is covered with leather, which is soft and has a good feel, increasing the comfort of contact with the arm. The space between the cover plate 7 and the leather is filled with sponge, which has good cushioning and shock absorption properties. When the arm is placed on the cover plate 7, the sponge can effectively reduce the pressure on the arm and reduce the discomfort caused by prolonged placement. At the same time, the combination of leather and sponge also improves the overall texture and aesthetics of the armrest box.
[0043] In actual use, when the driver needs to access items in the armrest box while driving, there is no need to manually and laboriously open the cover 7. Simply press the control button 15, and the push rod motor 1 will drive the cover 7 to open automatically, realizing the intelligence of the car armrest box and improving the convenience of using the car armrest box.
[0044] It should be stated that the above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, equivalent substitutions, and variations can be made to this utility model. However, such variations, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, should be within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, some terminology used in this application specification and claims is not limiting, but merely for ease of description.
