Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior parts technology, and in particular to a retractable and foldable car armrest. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of car interiors, car armrests primarily function to provide elbow support for drivers and passengers, alleviating physical fatigue from long drives, while also serving as a place to store personal belongings. However, with the increasing demands for interior comfort and spatial flexibility in the automotive market, the limitations of traditional car armrests in terms of structural design are becoming increasingly apparent.

[0003] The existing folding structure design of foldable car armrests is not optimized enough. After folding, they still occupy a lot of interior space and are difficult to store compactly, thus failing to make full use of the limited interior space. Therefore, we propose a retractable foldable car armrest. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a retractable and foldable car armrest. By setting a design that can be folded and retracted to be hidden inside the seat, the space occupied in the non-use state can be greatly reduced without affecting the armrest support function, thereby improving the utilization rate of the interior space and avoiding interference with seat adjustment, personnel entry and exit, etc.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A retractable and foldable car handrail includes a telescopic mechanism, a cover plate mechanism connected to the front end of the telescopic mechanism, and a folding mechanism installed at the inner end of the cover plate mechanism.

[0007] The folding mechanism includes a main board with locking blocks on both sides of its outer end. A controller is installed on the lower inner side of the main board, and an electric push rod is connected to the lower end of the controller. A base plate is connected to the lower end of the electric push rod. A movable shaft is installed on the upper side of the main board, and a sub-plate is connected to the outer side of the movable shaft. A handle is installed on the inner end of the sub-plate. By designing a foldable and retractable mechanism that can be hidden inside the seat, the space occupied in the non-use state can be significantly reduced without affecting the armrest support function, thereby improving the utilization rate of the interior space and avoiding interference with seat adjustment and passenger entry and exit.

[0008] Furthermore, the cover mechanism includes a connecting block, the front end of which is connected to a cover body. A handle is installed in the middle of the front end of the cover body. An installation groove is provided on the upper side of the inner end of the connecting block. Limiting grooves are provided on the left and right side walls of the inner end of the installation groove. By setting the cover body to close the opening after the armrest is hidden inside the seat, the appearance of the seat can be kept flat and uniform, preventing debris from entering the seat. At the same time, the exposed opening is avoided from affecting the cleanliness of the interior and the safety of use.

[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic mechanism includes a cylinder groove, an inner end of which is connected to a telescopic rod, and a front end of the telescopic rod is connected to a pivot. The front end of the pivot is provided with a connecting part. By setting the telescopic rod, the telescopic function of the device is realized, and the pivot improves the flexibility of use. This allows the handrail to adapt to the height, body shape and usage posture of different drivers and passengers, accurately meet diverse support needs, and enhance the convenience and comfort of use.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting block is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting part. By setting the connecting block to be fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting part, the main body of the handrail can be stably connected to other functional components, ensuring the smooth transmission of telescopic and folding actions, and improving the overall connection reliability and structural stability of the device.

[0011] Furthermore, the motherboard is movably nested inside the mounting slot.

[0012] Furthermore, the card block is installed at the inner end of the limiting groove, and the card block is adapted to the limiting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, there are two electric push rods. After retraction, the lower end of the main board is hidden inside the mounting groove, and the upper end of the main board is flush with the height of the cover plate body.

[0014] Furthermore, the sub-plate has the same width as the main plate, and after the sub-plate is flipped along the movable axis, its lower surface fits into the upper surface of the main plate.

[0015] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. By setting a foldable and retractable design that is hidden inside the seat, the space occupied when not in use can be greatly reduced without affecting the armrest support function, thereby improving the utilization of interior space and avoiding interference with seat adjustment and passenger entry and exit. By setting a cover body to close the opening after the armrest is hidden inside the seat, the appearance of the seat can be kept flat and uniform, preventing debris from entering the seat, while avoiding the opening being exposed and affecting the cleanliness of the interior and safety of use.

[0017] 2. By setting a telescopic rod, the device can be extended and retracted, and the pivot can be used to improve flexibility. The handrail can be adapted to the height, body shape and usage posture of different drivers and passengers, accurately meet diverse support needs, and enhance the convenience and comfort of use. By setting a connecting block to fix the connection at the front end of the connection part, the handrail body can be firmly connected to other functional components, ensuring the smooth transmission of extension and folding actions, and improving the overall connection reliability and structural stability of the device.
