[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides the following technical solution: an expandable armrest, including a center console body 1 and an armrest located on the rear side of the center console body 1. The armrest includes an upper armrest 2, a lower armrest 3, and a connecting plate 4. The lower armrest 3 is rotatably connected to the center console body 1. The upper and lower sides of the connecting plate 4 are respectively rotatably connected to one side of the upper armrest 2 and one side of the lower armrest 3. One way to open the armrest is by rotating the entire armrest around the center console body 1, i.e., flipping the armrest back to open. At this time, the upper armrest 2 and the lower armrest 3 are locked. The center console body 1 can store items inside; another way to open the armrest is by having the upper armrest 2 and the connecting plate 4 flip forward around the lower armrest 3. At this time, the lower armrest 3 is locked to the center console body 1. After the upper armrest 2 flips forward, it is supported by the front of the center console body 1. After the upper armrest 2 and the connecting plate 4 are flipped and flattened, they are on the same plane as the lower armrest 3. The setting of the connecting plate 4 allows the upper armrest 2 and the lower armrest 3 to be laid flat. After opening the armrest in this way, a small tabletop can be formed for the driver and passengers to use.

[0016] Specifically, notches 8 are provided on one side of the upper armrest 2 and one side of the lower armrest 3. The connecting plate 4 is located in the notch 8. A flip-up switch 5 is provided in the front end of the lower armrest 3. A notch adapted to the flip-up switch 5 is opened in the front end of the lower armrest 3. After the flip-up switch 5 is placed in the notch, the surface of the flip-up switch 5 is exposed outside the front end of the lower armrest 3, making it easy to press the flip-up switch 5. One end of the flip-up switch 5 is hooked on the center console body 1. After pressing the flip-up switch 5 horizontally, one end of the flip-up switch 5 is disengaged from the center console body 1, and the lower armrest 3 can be rotated. An unfolding switch 6 is provided in the rear end of the upper armrest 2. A notch adapted to the unfolding switch 6 is opened in the rear end of the upper armrest 2. The switch 6 has a matching notch. After the switch 6 is placed in the notch, the surface of the switch 6 is exposed outside the rear end of the upper armrest 2, making it easy to press the switch 6. One end of the switch 6 is hooked onto the lower armrest 3. The lower armrest 3 has an opening so that one end of the switch 6 can be inserted into the lower armrest 3 to hook onto it. When the switch 6 is pressed, one end of the switch 6 is disengaged from the lower armrest 3, and the upper armrest 2 can rotate. Both the flip switch 5 and the switch 6 will spring back after being pressed and released. Therefore, when the lower armrest 3 or the upper armrest 2 is closed, the lower armrest 3 is locked to the center console body 1, and the upper armrest 2 is locked to the lower armrest 3.

[0017] Specifically, a rear hinge 7 connects the rear side of the center console body 1 to the rear side of the lower armrest 3. The lower armrest 3 flips around the center console body 1 via the rear hinge 7. Connecting plate hinges are provided on the upper and lower sides of the connecting plate 4 respectively. The connecting plate hinges rotatably connect the upper and lower sides of the connecting plate 4 to one side of the upper armrest 2 and one side of the lower armrest 3 respectively. After the upper armrest 2 flips forward via the connecting plate 4 and the connecting plate hinge, the upper armrest 2, the connecting plate 4 and the lower armrest 3 are flattened.

[0018] When this utility model is in normal use: first press the back-flip switch 5, one end of the back-flip switch 5 will disengage from the central control body 1, at which time the unfold switch 6 is locked, the upper layer 2 of the armrest and the lower layer 3 of the armrest are locked, so the entire armrest can be flipped back and opened to meet the requirements of normal access to items.

[0019] When using this utility model: first press the unfolding switch 6, one end of the unfolding switch 6 will disengage from the lower layer 3 of the armrest. At this time, the back-flipping switch 5 is locked, and the lower layer 3 of the armrest is in its original position. Therefore, after the upper layer 2 of the armrest is flipped forward and opened, it contacts and supports the front of the center console body 1. At this time, the upper layer 2 of the armrest, the connecting plate 4 and the lower layer 3 of the armrest are on the same plane to form a small tabletop.

[0020] When you need to close the handrail, simply flip it forward to close it or flip the upper 2 of the handrail backward to close it.

[0021] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
