Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a vehicle armrest box structure with a cooling function, comprising:
[0035] The armrest box body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 2 and an air inlet 3 and an air outlet 4 connected to the receiving groove 2. The air inlet 3 and the air outlet 4 are connected to the air conditioning module in the car. A first mesh plate and a second mesh plate are respectively installed on the air inlet 3 and the air outlet 4. A hinge seat 5 and a guide groove 6 are provided on the side of the receiving groove 2.
[0036] The air conditioning module is a car component that connects to the air conditioning vent structure in the car. It is an existing technology used to supply cold or hot air. The air supply control in this armrest box can use the same control switch component as the car's air vent for independent control, which will not be elaborated on here.
[0037] This armrest box is connected to the car's air conditioning module, which can circulate cold or hot air into the armrest box to achieve the cooling function of the armrest box in high-temperature environments, allowing for low-temperature storage of the items inside, and in low-temperature environments, it can keep the items warm, realizing the multi-functional use of the armrest box.
[0038] The first and second mesh plates can be installed and fixed by conventional assembly methods such as bolts or snap-fit assembly. Items that are not easy to move or roll can be placed on the first mesh plate, and cup holders can be placed on it and fixed with bolts. It should be ensured that the ventilation mesh of the first mesh plate is not blocked, so that the airflow can flow fully through the cup holder and cool or heat the cup inside.
[0039] The flip cover 7 is elastically rotatably connected to the hinge seat 5 via the hinge ear 8, and the guide 9 on its side is slidably disposed in the guide groove 6, and the guide 9 is provided with a slider 10.
[0040] A flip lock 11 is rotatably connected in the guide groove 6, and a main slide 13 is formed between the baffles 12 on both sides of it. The slider 10 slides and engages with the main slide 13. A locking block 14 is provided in the main slide 13. The locking block 14 divides the top of the main slide 13 into a first slide 15 and a second slide 16, which are locked and positioned with the slider 10.
[0041] A torsion spring 18 is provided between the hinge seat 5 and the hinge ear 8. This ensures that the elastic force driving the relative rotation of the hinge seat 5 and the hinge ear 8 is more stable.
[0042] The locking block 14 has a V-shaped structure, and its positioning notch 20 locks and positions with the slider 10, thereby improving the structural locking and positioning strength when the flip cover 7 is closed.
[0043] The wedge-shaped surface of the locking block 14 facing the first slide rail 15 partially corresponds to the baffle plate 12 on the opposite side of the flip lock 11. A guide block 21 is also provided within the main slide rail 13, forming a movable gap 22 between the guide block 21 and the locking block 14. The wedge-shaped guide surface 23 of the guide block 21 faces the second slide rail 16. This allows the guide member 9, which moves synchronously with the flip cover 7 when it is pressed to close, to slide along the guide groove 6 and push the flip lock 11, as shown in the image. Figure 5 As shown, the slider 10 pushes the right-side baffle 12, causing the flip lock 11 to flip and rise relative to the guide groove 6 until the lower end of the first slide 15 and the second slide 16. The slider 10 moves into the first slide 15 and abuts against the wedge-shaped surface on the left side of the locking block 14, pushing the locking block 14 to realize the secondary flip drive of the flip lock 11 until the slider 10 moves to the left end of the movable gap 22. At this time, the flip cover 7 and the top of the receiving groove 2 are completely closed. When the flip cover 7 is released, the flip lock 11 is not pushed and flips downward due to its own gravity, causing the slider 10 to move into the positioning recess 20 to realize structural locking.
[0044] When the flip cover 7 is opened, pressing the flip cover 7 causes the slider 10 to disengage from the positioning notch 20 and slide along the movable gap 22 and guide surface 23 toward the second slide rail 16. At this time, the flip lock 11 continues to flip downward under the action of gravity, so that the slider 10 completely enters the upper end of the second slide rail 16. The flip cover 7 is released, causing it to flip in the opposite direction and open under the action of elastic force. During this period, the slider 10 slides along the second slide rail 16 and the main slide rail 13 and stops below the main slide rail 13.
[0045] Example 2:
[0046] Please see Figure 2 The figure shows a vehicle armrest box structure with a cooling function provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: a groove 17 extends downwards from the bottom surface of the receiving slot 2, and the inner wall of the groove 17 is curved. The groove 17 allows for the placement of easily movable and rolling items, ensuring that the items remain within the groove 17 regardless of their movement, thus preventing collisions between the items and the armrest box.
[0047] Example 3:
[0048] Please see Figure 3The figure shows a vehicle armrest box structure with a cooling function provided in Embodiment 3 of this utility model. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: a hinge shaft is provided on the flip lock 11, and several hooks 19 are circumferentially spaced on the outer side of the hinge shaft. The hooks 19 rotatably pass through the through holes on the side of the guide groove 6 and abut against and engage with the surface of the armrest box body 1. This enables rapid and stable assembly of the flip lock 11 and the armrest box, improves the assembly efficiency of the armrest box, and meets the usage requirements for relative rotation between the two.
[0049] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the vehicle armrest box structure with cooling function in this embodiment has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0050] This utility model relates to an armrest box connected to the car's air conditioning module, allowing for the introduction of cold or hot air into the armrest box. This enables cooling in high-temperature environments, allowing for low-temperature storage of internal items, while also providing insulation in low-temperature environments, thus achieving multi-functional use of the armrest box. Through the design of a flip cover, guide components, and a flip lock, the flip cover is rotatably connected to the flip lock on the guide groove via the guide components. The movable labyrinth lock slide on the flip lock slides and engages with the slider, with a locking block engaging with the slider. This achieves flip cover closure, structural locking, and structural guidance during flip cover opening, improving operational smoothness. The structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
