[0014] Advantages and beneficial effects of the present utility model

[0015] 1. The present utility model is an electric horizontal telescopic water cup holder. Through the reasonable arrangement of the cup holder motor, the cup holder assembly is ingeniously connected to the armrest assembly. Through the reverse drive of the screw, the cup holder motor drives the cup holder assembly to be slidably connected inside the armrest assembly, comprehensively improving the sliding speed and movement noise of the cup holder assembly, and being more suitable for the new energy electrification trend of the current automotive industry.

[0016] 2. This utility model has a plastic decorative panel on the top of the armrest frame. When the cup holder assembly is in the closed state, the cup holder on the cup holder assembly can be hidden under the decorative panel to realize the function of a hidden cup holder.

[0017] 3. The cup holder assembly and the armrest assembly of this utility model are slidably connected by the cooperation of a slide rail and a slide track. The slide rail is integrally connected to the cup holder frame of the cup holder assembly. The axial side walls of the slide rail body have polygonal through holes at positions relative to the inner cavity. The slide track is a hollow circular metal tube. When the slide rail is engaged with the slide track, the polygonal through holes on the side walls engage with the circular metal tube. The slidable connection between the side walls and the slide track reduces the contact area between the slide rail and the slide track. The engagement of the polygonal through holes with the slide track avoids large-area contact between the circular through holes and the circular slide track, reducing the clamping force and preventing the slide track from being unable to slide or sliding unevenly within the slide rail.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a novel electric cup holder includes a cup holder assembly 1. The rear end of the cup holder assembly 1 has two cup holders 14, and the front end of the cup holder assembly 1 has a control button 15 and a wireless charging module 16. The control button 15 includes a cup holder motor on button 151, an armrest motor off button 152, and a cup holder motor off button 153. The cup holder motor on button 151 and the cup holder motor off button 153 are connected to a cup holder motor 4, and the armrest motor off button 152 is connected to an armrest motor. The cup holder motor 4, the armrest motor, and the wireless charging module 16 are connected to a seat wiring harness or a vehicle wiring harness. The wireless charging module 16 can wirelessly charge electronic products.

[0035] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the cup holder assembly 1 has slides 12 on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the cup holder frame 11. Each slide 12 includes a connecting arm 121, one end of which is connected to the cup holder frame 11, and the other end is integrally connected to the slide body 122. The connecting arm 121 connects the cup holder frame 11 to the slide body 122 and also allows the slide body 122 to avoid contact with the cup holder 14. The inner cavity of the slide body 122 is hollow. The axial side walls 123 of the slide body 122 have polygonal through holes 124 at positions relative to the inner cavity. The polygonal through holes 124 are polygonal in shape, allowing for... To avoid large-area contact between the circular through hole and the circular slide rail, which would increase the clamping force and cause the slide rail 2 to be unable to slide or slide unevenly within the slide body 122, the bottom of the inner cavity of the slide body 122 has a through groove 125. The through groove 125 can reduce the weight of the slide 12 and reduce the contact area between the slide body 122 and the slide rail 2. The slide 12 is slidably connected to the slide rail 2 through the two side walls 123 of the slide body 122 along the axial direction. The side walls of the slide body 122 have multiple first reinforcing ribs 126, which strengthen the slide body 122.

[0036] The slide rail 2 is a hollow circular metal tube. Its middle section passes through the slide rail 12 and connects to the cup holder assembly 1. Both ends are fixed to the armrest frame 31 on the armrest assembly 3. Specifically, the armrest frame 31 has a front support 32 and a rear support 33 integrally connected to the front and rear ends of the slide rails 2 on both sides. Figure 6 As shown, the front side of the front bracket 32 ​​is a front stop arm 321, and the rear side of the front stop arm 321 is integrally connected to a first support arm 322. The top of the first support arm 322 has a first groove 323, and the first groove 323 has a first through hole at the position opposite to the front stop arm 321. The front end of the slide rail 2 passes through the slide rail 12 and is inserted into the first groove 323 and the first through hole in sequence. The front stop arm 321 limits the front end of the slide rail 2. The front stop arm 321 and the first support arm 322 have a second reinforcing rib 324, which strengthens the front stop arm 321 and the first support arm 322.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the rear support 33 includes a support body 331. The support body 331 has second support arms 332 on its front and rear sides. The top of the second support arm 332 has a second groove 333. The second groove 333 has a second through hole 334 at a position relative to the support body 331. A baffle 335 is integrally connected to the rear side of the second support arm 332 on the side away from the front support 32. The inner side of the baffle 335 has an outwardly recessed limiting opening 336 at a position relative to the second groove 333.

[0038] The front bracket 32 ​​and the rear bracket 33 are made of plastic. When the slide rail 2 is inserted into the rear bracket 33 and the front bracket 32, the baffle 335 needs to be manually moved to prevent the baffle 335 from blocking the second through hole 334 on the rear bracket 33. After the slide rail 2 is inserted into the front bracket 32 ​​and the rear bracket 33, the baffle 335 is released. The baffle 335 achieves quick installation and limiting of the slide rail 2 through its own elastic reset, preventing the slide rail 2 from moving axially after being inserted into the rear bracket 33 and the front bracket 32.

[0039] like Figure 12As shown in the figure, an installation frame 13 is provided at the bottom of the cup holder skeleton 11 between the two slideways 12. A cup holder motor 4 is connected in the inner cavity of the installation frame 13 by screws. A screw rod 41 is provided on the cup holder motor 4. A stop point 42 is provided at the front end of the screw rod 41. The rear end of the screw rod 41 passes through the installation frame 13, the screw rod fixing sleeve, the fixing bracket 5 and the gasket in sequence and is fixed by a nut, so that the rear end of the screw rod 41 is fixed on the fixing bracket 5. The stop point 42 is the limit stop for the front-end stroke of the cup holder motor 4, and the screw rod fixing sleeve is the limit stop for the rear-end stroke of the cup holder motor 4. When the cup holder motor 4 drives the cup holder assembly 1 to move forward to the stop point 42, the cup holder assembly 1 is in the open state. When the cup holder motor 4 drives the cup holder assembly 1 to move backward to the screw rod fixing sleeve, the cup holder assembly 1 is in the closed state. The fixing bracket 5 functions to fix the screw rod 41, and the fixing bracket 5 is connected to the armrest skeleton 31 by screws.

[0040] As Figure 7 shown, the fixing bracket 5 is in a "U" shape, including a connecting plate 51 connected to the screw rod 41 and two arms 52 bent from both sides of the connecting plate 51 towards the armrest skeleton 31. A screw rod through hole 53 (see Figure 3 ) is provided at the relative position of the connecting plate 51 and the installation frame 13. Flanges 54 extending outwards are provided at the ends of the two arms 52. The flanges 54 are connected to the armrest skeleton 31 by screws, so that the fixing bracket 5 is fixed on the armrest skeleton 31.

[0041] As Figure 12 shown, rubber rings 6 are provided at both ends of the slide rail 2 between the front bracket 32 and the rear bracket 33. The rubber rings 6 can prevent the noise generated by the direct collision between the cup holder assembly 1 and the front bracket 32 and the rear bracket 33 when the cup holder assembly 1 drives the slideway 12 to slide along the slide rail 2.

[0042] An armrest assembly with a new type of electric water cup holder, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the rear end of the armrest assembly 3 is a storage box 7, the front end of the armrest assembly 3 is the cup holder assembly 1 described above. The cup holder assembly 1 can linearly move horizontally relative to the armrest assembly 3 through the cup holder motor. The armrest assembly 3 has a decorative plate 8 relative to the top of the cup holder in the cup holder assembly 1. When the cup holder assembly 1 moves inwards and contracts, the cup holder 14 will be hidden under the decorative plate 8. When the cup holder assembly 1 expands outwards, the cup holder 14 will extend out from under the decorative plate 8, exposing the cup holder 14 outside, which is convenient for placing a water cup.

[0043] During installation, first connect the cup holder motor 4, the slide rail 2 and the cup holder assembly 1, and then connect them to the armrest skeleton 31 through the front bracket 32 and the rear bracket 33.

[0044] Working process: With the armrest assembly 3 stationary, when the cup holder motor 4 operates, it drives the screw 41 to rotate. Since the screw 41 is connected to the armrest frame 31, it remains stationary. Under the action of the counter-drive force, the cup holder motor 4 drives the cup holder assembly 1 to move back and forth along the slide rail 2, that is, the cup holder assembly 1 extends or retracts relative to the armrest assembly 3. Figure 8 The diagram shown is a schematic of the cup holder assembly 1 retracting below the decorative panel 8 after the cup holder motor 4 drives it. In other words, it is a schematic of the cup holder assembly 1 being closed. Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the cup holder assembly 1 after it has been extended.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit them. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the present utility model.
