[0018] like Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the elbow rest cover 1 is covered with a PVC skin 11, which can provide users with a comfortable touch.

[0019] like Figure 5 As shown, the elbow rest mounting bracket assembly 2 consists of an upper elbow rest mounting bracket 21, a lower elbow rest mounting bracket assembly 22, a left damping hinge 23, a right damping hinge 24, and mounting bolts and nuts 25. The upper elbow rest mounting bracket 21 is hinged to the lower elbow rest mounting bracket assembly 22 via the left damping hinge 23 and the right damping hinge 24.

[0020] The elbow-down mounting bracket assembly 22 includes an elbow-down mounting bracket 221. A left support plate 225 and a right support plate 226 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the elbow-down mounting bracket 221. A left rear cover mounting bracket 222 is welded to the outer side of the left support plate 225, and a right rear cover mounting bracket 223 is welded to the outer side of the right support plate 226. Both the left and right rear cover mounting brackets 222 and 223 have rear cover slots 228. The elbow-down mounting bracket 221 is fixedly connected to the sub-instrument panel 8 below by four welded bolts 224. Shaft holes 227 are respectively provided on the left support plate 225 and the right support plate 226.

[0021] The elbow rest mounting bracket 21 includes an elbow rest mounting bracket main board 211 fixedly connected to the elbow rest cover plate 1. Two connecting arms 212 are provided on the rear side of the elbow rest mounting bracket main board 211, and each connecting arm 212 has a mounting hole 213 at its end.

[0022] Both the left damping hinge 23 and the right damping hinge 24 include a mounting plate and a pivot 232 mounted on the mounting plate. The pivot of the left damping hinge 23 is provided with a left embossed tooth 231, and the pivot of the right damping hinge 24 is provided with a right embossed tooth 241. The pivots 232 on the left damping hinge 23 and the right damping hinge 24 are respectively inserted into the shaft holes 227 on the left support plate 225 and the right support plate 226, and the embossed teeth on the pivots 232 are pressed into the mounting holes 213 on the elbow rest mounting bracket 21, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the left and right damping hinges with the elbow rest mounting bracket 21.

[0023] Meanwhile, the left damping hinge 23 and the right damping hinge 24 are respectively mounted on the elbow-lower mounting bracket assembly 22 by bolts and nuts 25.

[0024] The installation process of the elbow rest assembly, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown: 1. For example Figure 6 As shown, the elbow rest mounting bracket assembly 2 is mounted on the elbow rest upper cover plate 1 by self-tapping screws 6; 2. For example Figure 6 As shown, two cushioning pads 4 are installed on the elbow rest cover plate 3; 3. For example Figure 6 As shown, a clip structure is provided on the lower elbow cover plate 3, and a slot is provided on the upper elbow cover plate 1. In this way, the lower elbow cover plate 3 is snapped together with the upper elbow cover plate 1 through its own snap-fit ​​structure. 4. For example Figure 7 As shown, the elbow rest upper cover 1, elbow rest mounting bracket assembly 2, elbow rest lower cover 3, and buffer pad 4, which are assembled together, are installed on the sub-instrument panel 8 using 4 fastening nuts 7. 5.
