1. A hinge unit of a console armrest for a vehicle, comprising: an upper bracket comprising an armrest installation part fixedly coupled to an armrest, and upper hinge parts formed at both sides of the armrest installation part while extending therefrom, each of the upper hinge parts having a first upper hinge hole through which a hinge shaft passes;a lower bracket comprising a console installation part fixedly coupled to a console, and lower hinge parts formed at both sides of the console installation part while extending therefrom, each of the lower hinge parts having a first lower hinge hole formed at a position corresponding to the first upper hinge hole, the hinge shaft passing through the first lower hinge hole;an upper bracket cover configured to surround at least a portion of each of the upper hinge parts of the upper bracket and to have a second upper hinge hole formed at a position corresponding to the first upper hinge hole; anda lower bracket cover configured to surround at least a portion of each of the lower hinge parts of the lower bracket and to have a second lower hinge hole formed at a position corresponding to the first lower hinge hole,wherein the upper bracket cover and the lower bracket cover guide relative rotation between the upper bracket and the lower bracket while coming into contact with each other. 2. The hinge unit according to claim 1, wherein: the upper bracket cover comprises a guide protrusion protruding toward the lower bracket cover; andthe lower bracket cover comprises a guide jaw for guiding the guide protrusion during the rotation of the upper bracket. 3. The hinge unit according to claim 2, wherein the guide jaw has an arc shape that is centered on the second lower hinge hole. 4. The hinge unit according to claim 2, wherein the guide jaw comprises inclined jaws formed at both ends thereof such that a user feels that the guide protrusion is latched by the inclined jaws, and seating jaws extending from the respective inclined jaws to seat and support the guide protrusion, thereby allowing the upper bracket to be in a fully open state or in a fully closed state, the inclined jaws being paired with the seating jaws. 5. The hinge unit according to claim 4, wherein the guide protrusion is more convex at both ends thereof than a central portion thereof so as to be held in and supported by the seating jaws. 6. The hinge unit according to claim 1, further comprising a spring directly or indirectly installed to the hinge shaft to apply opening rotational force during opening of the upper bracket. 7. The hinge unit according to claim 6, wherein the spring is rotatable along with the rotation of the upper bracket. 8. The hinge unit according to claim 7, wherein: the respective upper hinge parts of the upper bracket have first spring fixing holes that are symmetrical, and the respective upper bracket covers have second spring fixing holes that are symmetrically formed at positions corresponding to the first spring fixing holes; andthe spring is assembled in such a manner that both ends thereof pass through the first and second spring fixing holes. 9. The hinge unit according to claim 1, wherein the upper bracket is made of a steel material, the upper bracket cover is made of a plastic material, and the upper bracket and the upper bracket cover are integrally manufactured by insert molding. 10. The hinge unit according to claim 1, wherein the lower bracket is made of a steel material, the lower bracket cover is made of a rubber material, and the lower bracket and the lower bracket cover are integrally manufactured by insert molding.
