Problems solved by technology

When the temperature of the cup holder is not controlled, the cup holder can overheat and cause problems such as: the user's hands can easily be burned, and the contents of the cup expand due to heating and may spray out of the cup
However, this solution not only introduces cost issues such as increased manpower in the manufacturing process and increased cost of raw materials, but also durability and reliability issues such as the risk of temperature sensor failure

Abstract

An automobile cup holder may include a holding unit which accommodates a cup and exchanges heat with the cup, a thermoelectric element which is in contact with an outer surface of the holding unit to cool or heat the holding unit, and a bimetal which is arranged adjacent to the holding unit and connected to respective ends of a circuit of the thermoelectric element.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to automotive cup holders, in particular automotive cup holders configured to prevent overheating and thereby protect the hands of a driver or passenger from excessive temperatures of the cup holder. Background technique [0002] Car cup holders with heating and cooling already exist. When the cup holder is heated, the surface of the cup accommodated in the cup holder is heated and becomes very hot. When the temperature of the cup holder is not controlled, the cup holder can overheat and cause such problems that the user's hands are easily burned, and the contents of the cup expand due to heating and may be sprayed from the cup. [0003] Traditional solutions to this problem include attaching temperature sensors to the cup holders and installing logic circuits that control the temperature of the cup holders. However, this solution introduces not only cost issues, such as an increase in manpower in the manufacturing proce...
