Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides an armrest box, including an armrest box body 1. The armrest box body 1 is equipped with an integrated control module 2 and a wireless communication device placement module 3. The integrated control module 2 includes multiple electrical control buttons 201, and the wireless communication device placement module 3 includes at least one wireless communication device mounting base 301. This embodiment also provides a vehicle including the above-mentioned armrest box. The vehicle is preferably a modified vehicle, such as a survey vehicle or a motorhome.

[0019] To expand functionality, modified vehicles often have various additional onboard electrical appliances installed, such as exterior warning lights, flashing lights, exterior lighting, or exterior LED displays. However, existing traditional armrest boxes lack integrated control functions for these newly added onboard electrical appliances, requiring drivers and passengers to operate the individual control components of different onboard electrical appliances separately. This is cumbersome, with scattered operation paths and insufficient convenience, failing to meet the needs of modified vehicles for centralized control of electrical appliances.

[0020] In this embodiment, the number of electrical control buttons 201 in the armrest box can be more than three, for example, nine. The integrated control module 2 may also include an integrated control circuit board disposed inside the upper seat 101. Each control button is electrically connected to a signal processing unit on the integrated control circuit board. The integrated control circuit board is electrically connected to the vehicle's on-board electrical controller via wires. After receiving the trigger signal from the control button, the signal processing unit of the integrated control circuit board converts it into a control command for the corresponding vehicle's on-board electrical controller and outputs it. After receiving the control command, the corresponding vehicle's on-board electrical controller executes the corresponding switching action to control the newly added vehicle's electrical appliances. For a survey vehicle, the newly added vehicle's electrical appliances may include exterior warning lights, flashing lights, site lighting, exterior outline marker lights, exterior audio equipment, and exterior LED displays. For a motorhome, the newly added vehicle's electrical appliances may include exterior lighting, ambient lighting in the living compartment, exterior outline marker lights, and exterior audio equipment. In summary, the armrest box in this embodiment integrates multiple control buttons of the integrated control module 2, which can be used as control buttons for vehicle lighting, entertainment systems and other electrical appliances. It is easy to operate, the operation path is centralized, and the convenience is greatly improved, which can meet the needs of modified vehicles for centralized control of electrical appliances.

[0021] Reconnaissance vehicles are a type of specialized fire truck, primarily used for special missions within public security, judicial, and fire departments. They may require multiple wireless communication devices such as walkie-talkies and pagers to meet the communication needs of different teams and missions. In the context of RV group travel, there are RV-wide communication needs and in-vehicle zone communication needs. Walkie-talkies and pagers facilitate communication between occupants of different RVs within the RV group, while in-vehicle zone communication allows communication between the driver's cab and the living quarters. Therefore, modified vehicles often contain one or more wireless communication devices such as walkie-talkies and pagers. Traditional armrest boxes cannot effectively secure these devices, forcing them to be stored in storage compartments, which is inconvenient for retrieval.

[0022] In this embodiment, the armrest box can have one or more wireless communication device mounting bases 301, which can be selected adaptively according to the specific type of modified vehicle; for example, four can be selected. Each of the four wireless communication device mounting bases 301 has a mounting slot structure, allowing wireless communication devices such as walkie-talkies and pagers to be fixed on the mounting bases 301, facilitating the placement and removal of wireless communication devices and improving ease of use.

[0024] Below the vehicle drive switching knob 4 is a vehicle drive switching control circuit board. The vehicle drive switching knob 4 is electrically connected to the signal processing unit of the vehicle drive switching control circuit board. The vehicle drive switching control circuit board is electrically connected to the power control system of the modified vehicle through wires. After receiving the signal from the vehicle drive switching knob 4, the signal processing unit of the vehicle drive switching control circuit board converts it into a corresponding control command and outputs it. After receiving the control command, the vehicle's power control system adjusts the transfer case status to realize the switching between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive, which makes it easy for the driver to quickly adjust the drive mode.

[0025] The first wireless charging device 5 uses a wireless charger that supports the Qi wireless charging protocol in the prior art, and is able to charge mobile phones or other electronic devices with wireless charging capabilities.
