Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail passenger vehicle technology, specifically to an armrest for a rail passenger vehicle seat. Background Technology

[0002] Rail passenger cars are vehicles that run on rails and are used to transport passengers. They are an important component of railway transportation and urban rail transit. Based on their service area and function, they can be divided into railway passenger cars and urban rail passenger cars. The former are mainly used for long-distance transportation between cities, such as high-speed rail, bullet trains, and ordinary trains, while the latter mainly serve short-distance commuting within or around cities, such as subways, light rail, and trams. Rail passenger cars are characterized by high capacity, punctuality, speed, safety, and comfort. Compared to other modes of transportation, they can carry a large number of passengers simultaneously and are not affected by road traffic congestion, and can operate on a fixed schedule. The trains operate on a schedule to provide passengers with reliable travel services. In terms of technology, rail passenger cars are constantly developing and innovating, with high speed, intelligence, and lightweight becoming important development trends. Train operating speeds are constantly increasing, and they are equipped with advanced signaling systems, automatic driving systems, intelligent monitoring systems, etc. The body materials of the vehicles are also increasingly using lightweight materials such as high-strength aluminum alloys and carbon fiber to reduce energy consumption and improve operating efficiency. In terms of appearance design, rail passenger cars emphasize the combination of aesthetics and practicality, with smooth lines and modern shapes, which not only enhance the visual effect of the vehicles but also help reduce air resistance.

[0003] However, existing railcar seat armrests have significant limitations in functional design. In daily travel scenarios, passengers often carry various personal items such as mobile phones, water bottles, glasses cases, magazines, and tickets. However, current railcar seat armrests lack designated areas for these items, forcing passengers to awkwardly place them on their laps during the journey. If the seating arrangement lacks a table, frequently getting up to put items on the overhead luggage rack and then repeatedly retrieving them adds further inconvenience. Furthermore, it's extremely common for two sets of seats to share an armrest, but different passengers have varying body types, postures, and armrest usage habits. Significant individual differences exist. Larger passengers may require more space in the handrails to support their arms and relax their bodies, while smaller passengers may prefer to lightly rest their arms on the handrails. Some passengers are accustomed to resting their arms completely on the handrails while traveling, while others prefer to use the handrails to place their personal belongings, such as mobile phones and tablets. These diverse needs are almost impossible to meet simultaneously when sharing a single handrail, especially on long journeys. The conflict arising from the way handrails are used and the allocation of space becomes increasingly prominent during extended periods of shared space, greatly interfering with the passengers' intended comfortable travel experience and reducing travel satisfaction. This situation urgently needs to be changed. Utility Model Content

The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4In this embodiment of the utility model, an armrest for a rail passenger car seat includes: a seat cushion 1, armrests 2 installed on both sides of the seat cushion 1, support legs 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of each set of armrests 2, and support feet 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support legs 12. Two sets of bolt through holes are opened above the support feet 13, which can be tightly connected to the ground of the rail passenger car through bolts. This constitutes a stable support structure, which provides stable support for the entire seat and ensures the stability of the seat during vehicle operation. The other end of the two sets of armrests 2 is rotatably connected to a backrest 3. When the passenger sits down, the backrest 3 can provide reliable support. The headrest 10 installed above the backrest 3 conforms to the curve of the human neck, further improving the comfort of the passenger's head when sitting and effectively relieving neck fatigue during long-distance travel.

[0024] In terms of storage functionality, an inner lifting groove 16 is provided, inside which a lead screw 17 is installed. The lead screw 17 is driven by a motor inside the handrail 2. The lifting groove 16 is slidably connected to a rotating shaft 4. One end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected to a hinge 5, and the other end of the hinge 5 is fixed to a table 6. When passengers need to place items or eat, rotating the rotating shaft 4 will cause the hinge 5 to unfold the table 6, providing a flat surface for placing items or eating, greatly satisfying diverse needs during travel. The height of the table 6 can be adjusted by driving the lead screw to accommodate passengers of different heights. Another set of handrails 2 has a tissue box 7 inside for convenient access to tissues. The outside of the tissue box 7 has a replacement panel installed with bolts, allowing for easy replacement of the tissue box when the tissues are used up, maintaining ease of use. A mobile phone slot 8 is provided on the other end of the inner side of the handrail 2, which can hold a mobile phone for passengers to check at any time. A storage slot 9 is provided above the handrail 2, which can hold small items such as glasses and tickets, fully meeting the diverse storage needs of passengers. In addition, a cover 21 is hinged to the top of the handrail 2. When one side of the cover 21 is opened, the cover 21 flips open around the hinge point. A partition 22 is fixed to the bottom of the cover 21. A mirror 23 is installed on the side of the partition 22. When passengers need to tidy their appearance, they can open the cover 21 to use the mirror. A warm light 24 is installed on the side of the partition 22 below the mirror. The warm light 24 is connected to the power line inside the handrail 2. When the cover 21 is opened, the internal contacts are connected to the circuit, and the warm light 24 lights up, providing soft lighting so that passengers can use the mirror in low light conditions. At the same time, the partition 22 also provides a certain degree of protection for passenger privacy.

[0025] A headrest 10 is installed above the backrest 3, and a control panel 11 is installed on the side of the armrest 2. This control panel 11 is connected to the rotating shafts on both sides of the backrest 3 through an internal motor. When the passenger operates the control panel 11, the internal motor can be started. The motor drives the rotating shafts on both sides of the backrest 3 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the backrest 3 to meet the sitting posture needs of different passengers and significantly improve the comfort of riding.

[0026] A partition 14 is installed between each pair of adjacent armrests 2. The partition 14 separates the adjacent seat space to a certain extent. When passengers need more privacy, the extended and stretchable partition 15 inserted into the side of the partition 14 can be pulled out to further block the view between adjacent seats, enhance privacy protection, and create a relatively independent personal space for passengers.

[0027] Both the seat cushion 1 and the backrest 3 are filled with a flexible padding layer made of memory foam, which better conforms to the passenger's lumbar curve and relieves passenger fatigue.

[0028] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When a passenger enters the railcar and finds their seat, the first thing they encounter is a seat system consisting of a seat cushion 1, armrests 2, backrest 3, and an underlying support structure. Support legs 12 and support feet 13 are securely connected, and the support feet 13 are firmly fixed to the car floor via bolt holes, ensuring the stability of the entire seat and providing a safe foundation for the passenger to sit. The passenger sits on the seat cushion 1, their body naturally resting on the backrest 3, which is rotatably connected between the two sets of armrests 2. The headrest 10 above the backrest 3 conforms to the passenger's head and neck, initially enhancing seating comfort. At this time, the passenger can place their arms naturally on the armrests 2 according to their own habits. If the passenger needs to place items or eat, they can operate... One set of handrails 2 has a rotating shaft 4 on its inner side. When the rotating shaft 4 is rotated, the hinge 5 connected to it drives the fixed table 6 to rotate and unfold until the table 6 reaches a horizontal position, providing passengers with a flat surface for placing items or eating. The height of the table 6 can be adjusted by a drive screw to accommodate passengers of different heights. If passengers need to use tissues, they can directly take them from the tissue box 7 placed on the inner side of another set of handrails 2. When the tissues in the tissue box 7 are used up, a new tissue box can be easily replaced by removing the replacement panel on the outside of the tissue box 7, which is installed with bolts. Passengers can also put their mobile phones in the mobile phone slot 8 opened on the inner side of the handrail 2 for easy access to information. At the same time, small items such as glasses and tickets can be placed on the handrail 2. The storage slot 9 at the top accommodates diverse storage needs. Additionally, a cover 21 is hinged to the top of the armrest 2. Opening one side of the cover 21 causes it to flip open around the hinge point. A partition 22 is fixed below the cover 21, and a mirror 23 is installed on the side of the partition 22. Passengers can use the mirror by opening the cover 21 when they need to groom themselves. A warm light 24 is installed below the mirror on the side of the partition 22. The warm light 24 is connected to the power circuit inside the armrest 2. When the cover 21 is opened, the internal contacts connect the circuit, and the warm light 24 illuminates, providing soft lighting for passengers to use the mirror in low light conditions. The partition 22 also provides a degree of privacy for passengers. Passengers can also adjust the backrest 3 for greater comfort. With a comfortable sitting posture, the control panel 11 installed on the side of the armrest 2 can be operated. After pressing the corresponding adjustment button on the control panel 11, the internal motor receives the instruction and starts to run. The power generated by the motor is transmitted to the rotating shafts connected to both sides of the backrest 3, causing the rotating shafts to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the backrest 3 to adapt to the sitting posture needs of different passengers and improve the riding comfort. When passengers wish to maintain a certain privacy space with passengers in adjacent seats, they can operate the baffle 14 installed between each pair of adjacent armrests 2. The extension and stretching partition 15 is pulled out from the side insertion point of the baffle 14. The extension and stretching partition 15 gradually unfolds, further blocking the view between adjacent seats, enhancing the privacy protection effect, and creating a relatively independent personal space for passengers.
