Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of armrest box technology, and in particular to armrest boxes and vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] The armrest box, as a storage unit in a vehicle, is usually designed to open in multiple directions.

[0003] Some current armrest boxes use a planar four-bar mechanism to achieve bidirectional opening. However, due to the limitations of the planar four-bar mechanism, they can only be opened in the left-right or front-back direction, and cannot be opened in two adjacent directions.

[0004] In addition, some armrest boxes need to be equipped with an unlocking mechanism to enable multi-directional opening from two adjacent directions. This unlocking mechanism must also have an anti-accidental touch design. Otherwise, when the driver and passenger open the armrest box at the same time, it will unlock, which may cause the armrest box cover to fall off and make it inconvenient to use the armrest box. Utility Model Content

Through the interlock formed after opening, it avoids multiple drivers and passengers from opening the armrest box in different directions at the same time, which would cause the armrest box opening mechanism to fail or be damaged, thus at least partially solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0018] Optionally, the housing is provided with a bracket, and the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are respectively mounted on the bracket so that the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are respectively rotatably connected to the housing.

[0019] Optionally, when the handrail is closed relative to the housing:

[0020] The rotation axis of the second connector coincides with the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft;

[0021] The rotation axis of the first connector coincides with the rotation axis of the second shaft;

[0022] The rotation axis of the first rotating shaft is misaligned with the rotation axis of the second rotating shaft.

[0023] Optionally, the armrest is provided with:

[0024] The first protrusion is rotatably connected to the first connector; and / or

[0025] The second protrusion forms a rotatable connection with the second connector.

[0026] Optionally, the first link and the second link are provided with dampers to provide resistance when the handrail is opened and closed.

[0027] Optionally, the first link and the second link are configured to be disposed relatively independently on the handrail.

[0028] Optionally, the handrail is provided with a cover, and the linkage mechanism is disposed in the space formed between the handrail and the cover.

[0037] An embodiment of this application provides an armrest box. Through the aforementioned technical solution, a linkage mechanism enables the armrest to open in both adjacent but staggered first and second directions. After opening, by locking the opening freedom in either the first or second direction, the armrest cannot be opened in either direction after opening in the first direction, thus creating an interlock between the first and second directions. This prevents the armrest box from opening simultaneously in both directions, avoiding the malfunction or damage to the opening mechanism caused by multiple occupants opening the armrest box in different directions at the same time. Furthermore, the linkage mechanism eliminates the need for an unlocking mechanism, simplifying the armrest box structure, reducing operating costs and assembly difficulty, and streamlining the opening process for occupants, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0057] The inventors discovered that some current armrest boxes use a planar four-bar mechanism to achieve bidirectional opening. However, due to the limitations of the planar four-bar mechanism, they can only be opened in the left-right or front-back direction, and cannot be opened in two adjacent directions.

[0058] In addition, some armrest boxes need to be equipped with an unlocking mechanism to enable multi-directional opening from two adjacent directions. This unlocking mechanism must also have an anti-accidental touch design. Otherwise, when the driver and passenger open the armrest box at the same time, it will unlock, which may cause the armrest box cover to fall off and make it inconvenient to use the armrest box.

[0059] Based on this, this application provides the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The armrest box shown is a type of armrest box. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the armrest box provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the linkage mechanism provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application arranged on the handrail 10. The handrail box includes a box body 20 and a handrail 10. The handrail 10 is openable and closeable relative to the box body 20. The handrail box also includes a linkage mechanism that is connected to the handrail 10 and the box body 20 respectively, so that the handrail 10 can be opened relative to the box body 20 in adjacent and staggered first and second directions; and after the handrail 10 is opened in the first direction, the linkage mechanism locks the opening degree of the handrail 10 in the second direction; and / or, after the handrail 10 is opened in the second direction, the linkage mechanism locks the opening degree of the handrail 10 in the first direction.

[0060] Through the aforementioned technical solution, the linkage mechanism enables the armrest 10 to open in both adjacent but staggered first and second directions. After opening, by locking the degrees of freedom in either the first or second direction, the armrest 10 cannot continue to open in the second direction after opening in the first direction, or vice versa. Therefore, the armrest 10 forms an interlock in both directions after opening, preventing the armrest box from opening simultaneously in both directions. This avoids multiple occupants opening the armrest box in different directions at the same time, preventing malfunction or damage to the opening mechanism. Furthermore, the interlock formed by the linkage mechanism after the armrest 10 is opened eliminates the need for an unlocking mechanism, simplifying the armrest box structure, reducing operating costs and assembly difficulty, and streamlining the steps for occupants to open the armrest box, thus improving the user experience.

[0061] Understandably, the armrest box includes an armrest 10 and a box body 20. The box body 20 has an upward-facing opening for storing items belonging to the driver and passengers. The armrest 10 is located on the box body 20 and is used to cover the opening of the box body 20. The armrest 10 can be flipped open and closed relative to the box body 20.

[0062] Understandably, the degree of freedom of opening refers to the number of parameters that a component can move independently relative to other components. When the handrail 10 opens in the first direction, the linkage mechanism locks the opening degree of freedom of the handrail 10 in the second direction, that is, restricts the movement of the handrail 10 in the opening degree of freedom direction in the second direction, so that the handrail 10 can no longer rotate in the second direction. Similarly, when the handrail 10 opens in the second direction, the linkage mechanism locks the opening degree of freedom of the handrail 10 in the first direction, that is, restricts the movement of the handrail 10 in the opening degree of freedom direction in the first direction, so that the handrail 10 can no longer rotate in the first direction.

[0063] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some specific embodiments, the linkage mechanism includes a first link 30 and a second link 40; the first link 30 is disposed on the handrail 10 along a first direction and the second link 40 is disposed on the handrail 10 along a second direction, and both the first link 30 and the second link 40 are rotatably connected to the housing 20. Through the rotatable connection, the handrail 10 can be flipped around the first direction or around the second direction after it is opened.

[0064] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the rear end of the first connecting rod 30 is hinged to the housing 20 via the first pivot 51, and the other end of the first connecting rod 30 is hinged to the handrail 10 via the first connector 52. Figure 6 As shown, the right side of the second link 40 is hinged to the housing 20 via the second pivot 61, and the other end of the second link 40 is hinged to the handrail 10 via the second connector 62. The first link 30 is connected to the handrail 10 and the housing 20, and the second link 40 is hinged to the handrail 10 and the housing 20, which facilitates the handrail 10 to rotate around the first direction or around the second direction.

[0065] See Figure 2For example, the handrail 10 is provided with a first protrusion 13 and a second protrusion 14 protruding outwards. One end of the first connector 52 is rotatably connected to the first protrusion 13, and the other end of the first connector 52 is rotatably connected to one end of the first link 30. One end of the second connector 62 is rotatably connected to the second protrusion 14, and the other end of the second connector 62 is rotatably connected to one end of the second link 40. Through the first protrusion 13 and the second protrusion 14, one end of the first link 30 and one end of the second link 40 are respectively rotatably connected to the handrail 10, which facilitates the handrail 10 to rotate around a first direction or around a second direction.

[0066] In some examples, the armrest 10, the first link 30, the second link 40 and the housing 20 are connected by hinges to form a variable-cell four-bar linkage. The first pivot 51, the first connector 52, the second pivot 61 and the second connector 62 constitute the four hinges of the variable-cell four-bar linkage.

[0067] In some examples, see Figure 9 The first link 30 and the second link 40 are set relatively independently on the handrail 10, that is, the first link 30 is not directly connected to (for example, through end connection) the second link 40. When the handrail 10 rotates around the first direction or around the second direction, the ends of the first link 30 and the second link 40 will not interfere with each other, so as not to affect the flipping of the handrail 10.

[0068] Understandably, during continuous operation, changes in the number of effective components or the type of kinematic pairs caused by geometric constraints lead to topological evolution and changes in the degree of activity of the mechanism. A type of mechanism that continues to operate after at least one change in the degree of activity is called a variable-cell mechanism.

[0069] See Figure 4 In some specific embodiments, a bracket 21 is provided on the housing 20. The bracket 21 has at least two mounting holes, and a first rotating shaft 51 and a second rotating shaft 61 are installed in the mounting holes. The first rotating shaft 51 and the second rotating shaft 61 are rotatably connected to the bracket 21. For example, the bracket 21 is located at the right rear corner of the housing 20, and the first rotating shaft 51 and the second rotating shaft 61 are mounted on the bracket 21. The bracket 21 provides bearings for the first rotating shaft 51 and the second rotating shaft 61, making the hinge connection between the first connecting rod 30 and the second connecting rod 40 and the housing 20 more convenient and helping to reduce the assembly difficulty of the linkage mechanism.

[0070] For example, the bracket 21 and the housing 20 are rigidly connected, such as by screws, clips, welding or other fasteners.

[0071] See 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some specific embodiments, the armrest box also includes a positioning mechanism, which is used to limit the relative position of the armrest 10 and the box body 20 when the armrest box is closed, so that the armrest box meets the geometric constraints required by the variable-cell four-bar linkage when it is closed.

[0072] For example, when closed, the geometric constraints of the variable-cell four-bar linkage cause the armrests 10 to interlock after flipping open in either a first or second direction. After the armrests 10 flip open in the first direction, their opening freedom in the second direction is locked, meaning the armrests 10 lose the ability to flip open in the second direction again; conversely, after the armrests 10 flip open in the second direction, their opening freedom in the first direction is locked, meaning the armrests 10 lose the ability to flip open in the first direction again. Therefore, the interlocking of the armrests 10 after opening in either the first or second direction prevents multiple occupants from simultaneously opening the armrest box in different directions, thus avoiding malfunction or damage to the armrest box's opening mechanism.

[0073] In some examples, the positioning mechanism includes cooperating positioning blocks 12 and positioning recesses 22. For example, the positioning mechanism includes at least two positioning blocks 12 and at least two positioning recesses 22. The positioning blocks 12 are disposed on the lower end face of the armrest 10, and the positioning recesses 22 are disposed on the housing 20. When the armrest housing is closed, the lower surface of the positioning block 12 engages with the positioning recesses 22; when the armrest housing is open in any form, the positioning blocks 12 and positioning recesses 22 have no engagement relationship. For example, at least one positioning block 12 is disposed on the armrest 10 away from the bracket 21, such as on the armrest 10 diagonally opposite to the bracket 21 in the same mounting plane, while a corresponding cooperating positioning recess 22 is disposed on the housing 20 to ensure positioning accuracy when the armrest housing is closed.

[0074] For example, the mating relationship between the positioning block 12 and the positioning counter 22 has a limiting function, such as planar mating, positioning pin hole mating, or other positioning mating methods that can limit the relative position of the two.

[0075] For example, the positioning block 12 and the handrail 10, and the positioning platform 22 and the box 20 are respectively connected by rigid means, such as screws, clips or welding.

[0076] See Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some specific embodiments, when the positioning block 12 is aligned with the positioning platform 22, the handrail 10 is closed relative to the housing 20. The geometric constraints at this time are as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 51 coincides with the rotation axis of the second connecting member 62, that is, the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 51 and the rotation axis of the second connecting member 62 are collinear along the first direction; as shown Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the rotation axis of the second rotating shaft 61 coincides with the rotation axis of the first connecting member 52, that is, the rotation axis of the second rotating shaft 61 and the rotation axis of the first connecting member 52 are collinear along the second direction, while the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 51 and the rotation axis of the second rotating shaft 61 are not collinear and are misaligned.

[0077] In some examples, based on the linkage mechanism, the process of the armrest 10 flipping open and close relative to the housing 20 in a first direction and a second direction is as follows:

[0078] The initial state is defined as the armrest 10 being closed relative to the housing 20. At this time, the positioning block 12 and the positioning platform 22 are engaged. (See reference...) Figure 5 , Figure 6 The rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 51 coincides with the rotation axis of the second connecting member 62, and the rotation axis of the second rotating shaft 61 coincides with the rotation axis of the first connecting member 52. The handrail 10 can be opened by flipping around the first direction or by flipping around the second direction.

[0079] When the driver or passenger operates the armrest 10 to rotate it in the first direction to open the armrest box, such as Figure 7 As shown, the rotation axis of the second pivot 61 and the rotation axis of the first connector 52 are collinear in the second direction, becoming the rotation axis for the armrest 10 to open in the first direction. The armrest 10 can be flipped in the first direction to open the armrest box. At this time, the position of the second connector 62 moves upward with the armrest 10, while the position of the first pivot 51 is stationary relative to the box 20. Therefore, the rotation axis of the first pivot 51 and the rotation axis of the second connector 62, which were collinear when the armrest 10 was closed, become misaligned and cannot form a rotation axis. Under this condition, the armrest 10 is prevented from flipping around the second link 40, and thus the armrest 10 can no longer be flipped open in the second direction. Under the above circumstances, the driver and passenger can only continue to flip the armrest 10 to open and close the armrest box in the first direction. When the driver and passenger finish using the armrest and close it in place, the armrest box returns to its initial state, the collinear relationship between the rotation axis of the first pivot 51 and the rotation axis of the second connector 62 is restored, and the armrest box can be flipped open in both directions again.

[0080] When the driver or passenger operates the armrest 10 to open the armrest box in the second direction, such as Figure 8As shown, the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 51 and the rotation axis of the second connecting member 62 are collinear in the second direction, becoming the rotation axis for the armrest 10 to flip open in the second direction. At this time, the position of the first connecting member 52 moves upward with the armrest 10, while the position of the second rotating shaft 61 is stationary relative to the housing 20. The rotation axis of the second rotating shaft 61 and the rotation axis of the first connecting member 52, which were collinear when the armrest 10 was closed, become misaligned and cannot form a rotation axis. Under this condition, the armrest 10 is prevented from flipping around the first connecting rod 30, and thus the armrest 10 can no longer flip open in the first direction. Under the above conditions, the driver and passenger can only flip open and close the armrest box in the second direction. When the driver and passenger finish using the armrest and close it in place, the armrest box returns to its initial state, the collinear relationship between the rotation axis of the second rotating shaft 61 and the rotation axis of the first connecting member 52 is restored, and the armrest box can be flipped open in both directions again.

[0081] Understandably, "overlap" specifically refers to two axes that are completely overlapped (collinear) in three-dimensional space and are the same infinitely extending straight line. Two revolute joints in this "overlapping" state can rotate smoothly around the axis as a whole without generating additional constraint forces, causing motion interference or jamming due to slight axis deviations.

[0082] "Misalignment" specifically refers to the failure of two axes to achieve collinearity in three-dimensional space. Two revolute pairs in this "misaligned" state cannot rotate relative to the axes.

[0083] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 5 , 6 As shown, dampers 70 are provided on the first pivot 51, the first connector 52, the second pivot 61, and the second connector 62. The dampers 70 provide resistance to the opening and closing of the armrest 10, thereby controlling the speed at which the armrest 10 opens and closes. They also help drivers and passengers to more easily close the armrest 10 relative to the housing 20, and prevent the armrest housing from opening during vehicle vibration or shaking.

[0084] See Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 For example, the damper 70 passes through the first connector 52 and is disposed between the first protrusion 13 and the first link 30; or the damper 70 passes through the second connector 62 and is disposed between the second protrusion 14 and the second link 40.

[0085] For example, the damper 70 may be made of gas, liquid, spring, gear, or other damping structures that can generate damping force.

[0086] For example, the first connector 52, the second connector 62, the first rotating shaft 51 and the second rotating shaft 61 are made of pins.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a cover 11 is provided on the armrest 10, and the linkage mechanism is located in the space formed between the armrest 10 and the cover 11. Therefore, when the armrest box is opened, neither the first linkage 30 nor the second linkage 40 is exposed to the driver's or passenger's visible area, resulting in a better visual effect and helping to enhance the sense of quality of the car. At the same time, the cover 11 can also protect the linkage mechanism.

[0088] For example, the cover 11 is an upper cover, which includes a skeleton, a soft foam layer and a covering skin connected in sequence. The skeleton is set on the armrest 10 and the covering skin is the outermost layer. The cover 11 provides a soft support platform for the elbows of the driver and passengers.

[0089] In some specific embodiments, the first direction and the second direction are two adjacent but staggered directions, orthogonal to each other and staggered. During the opening process, the handrail 10 can be flipped open around the first direction or around the second direction, thereby achieving a more compact unfolding path within a limited space and avoiding interference with other structures. The first direction and the second direction are also perpendicular to each other. The handrail 10 can be flipped open around the first direction or around the second direction. The load is distributed through the synergistic effect of the first link 30 and the second link 40, reducing single-point stress concentration, lowering the risk of wear, and extending the service life of the mechanism.

[0090] For example, the first direction is the front-to-back direction of the vehicle body, the second direction is the width direction of the vehicle body, and the width direction of the vehicle body is perpendicular to the front-to-back direction of the vehicle body. The armrest 10 can be flipped open or closed relative to the box 20 around the first direction or around the second direction, so as to facilitate the driver and passengers to open the armrest box.

[0091] According to a second aspect of this application, a vehicle is provided that includes the armrest box as described in the first aspect. This vehicle possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned armrest box, which will not be elaborated upon further herein. The vehicle may be a gasoline-powered vehicle, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, etc., and this application does not specifically limit its application to these categories.

[0092] Based on the above embodiments, this application exemplarily describes the working process of the armrest box as follows: when the armrest 10 is closed relative to the box body 20, the positioning block 12 and the positioning platform 22 cooperate, and the armrest 10 can be flipped open around the first direction or around the second direction.

[0093] When the armrest 10 opens the armrest box in the first direction, the second pivot 61 and the first connector 52 constitute the rotation axis for the armrest 10 to open in the first direction. The armrest 10 can be rotated in the first direction to open the armrest box. At this time, the armrest 10 cannot continue to rotate in the second direction to open the armrest box.

[0094] When the armrest 10 opens the armrest box in the second direction, the first pivot 51 and the second connector 62 constitute the rotation axis for the armrest 10 to open in the second direction. The armrest 10 can be rotated in the second direction to open the armrest box. At this time, the armrest 10 cannot continue to rotate in the first direction to open the armrest box.

[0095] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
