Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a sliding armrest system coupled with a console knob using wiring,

The present invention relates to an opening and closing operation of a lid portion for opening and closing an upper portion of a console installed inside a vehicle and an armrest sliding forward and rearward from the upper surface of the lid portion in cooperation with opening and closing operations of the lid portion.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of controlling a latch, which is provided with a wiring linking an armrest and a lid portion, and a latch provided in front of the lid portion by interfacing with a manipulation of a user operation portion (e.g., a knob, a button) The present invention relates to a sliding armrest system in which a console knob is interlocked with a console console so that the armrest can be freely slid forward and backward with respect to the lid portion without being affected by the wiring.

Generally, a console installed inside a vehicle is provided with a control panel including a charging terminal, an AUX terminal, and the like among various functions of the vehicle.

In addition, the console is configured so that it can also function by accommodating an empty space therein.

In order to accommodate the control panel of the console, the lid portion provided at the upper portion of the console must be opened and closed. In order to open and close the lid portion, the latch portion provided at the front of the lid portion and the latching groove of the console are detached from each other, Opening and closing is performed.

In addition, the lid part also provides a function for the driver or passenger of the vehicle to perform an armrest (armrest). In recent years, the armrest function is extended to be able to slide forward and backward from the upper surface of the console.

As a result, the sliding function of the armrest is optimized by dividing the console into a cover portion that is directly opened and closed and an armrest that can slide forward and backward from the upper surface of the cover portion.

However, in order to implement the sliding function of the armrest with respect to the lid part and to easily lock and unlock the latch part provided on the lid part from the latching groove of the console, It is a reality that the configuration for releasing is complicated.

That is, as the number of parts for each configuration increases, there is a disadvantage that the cost increases and the weight increases, and as the number of parts increases, the management factor also increases.

In addition, as the complicated configuration increases, the probability of failure increases in the process of repeatedly performing the sliding operation of the armrest and the locking / unlocking operation of the lid portion, resulting in a disadvantage in maintenance.

In order to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages, it is required to implement a technique of lowering the manufacturing cost and reducing the management burden by adopting a simple and efficient construction compared to the existing opening and closing operation of the lid of the console and sliding operation of the armrest.
