[0002] With the continuous development of automobiles and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more functions are installed on automobiles to continuously meet people's different needs. According to the needs of styling design and universal design of left and right rudders, the central placement of automobile shift handles (in the center of the auxiliary instrument panel) has become more and more a common arrangement. However, the layout of double shallow cup holders will affect the human-machine operation of shifting when placing deep cups. Therefore, the application of lifting cup holders has become increasingly popular. However, the structure of lifting cup holders is complex. In the prior art, the cup holders include automatic unlocking mechanisms, gears, damping wheels, springs, etc. The movable cup bottom and the lower cup holder have racks, and the assembly structure is complex. The manufacturing cost is high, and the cost pressure of using them on economy models is very high.

[0003] Based on the above problems, a cup holder with a simple structure and expandable bottom space is proposed. The cup bottom can be expanded. Compared with the fixed cup holder, only a movable cup bottom, a manual unlocking mechanism and a lower cup holder need to be added. The cost is relatively low, and it can be used to place shallow cups as well as deep cups. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art, so that the use requirements of different cups can be achieved through adjustments during use and the cost can be reduced, the present application proposes a cup holder with expandable depth.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] 1. The cup holder with expandable depth described in the present invention supports the movable cup bottom by arranging a manual unlocking mechanism. When the manual unlocking mechanism is pushed downward, the support for the movable cup bottom is released. At this time, the movable cup bottom can be opened by placing a long cup. Since the movable cup bottom is rotatably connected to the lower cup holder through a rotating shaft, the movable cup bottom can be rotated and opened. When the movable cup bottom loses the squeezing of the object, the torsion spring drives the movable cup bottom to reset, and the cup holder body can support the cup. By the above, cups of different lengths can be placed, avoiding the impact of the long cup on the driving operation.

[0014] 2. In the cup holder with expandable depth described in the present invention, the staff can manually push the protrusion on the manual unlocking mechanism downward, and the manual unlocking mechanism moves downward along the slide slot, stops when it moves to the lower limit stop block, releases the support for the movable cup bottom, and realizes the placement of cups of different depths. When the protrusion is pushed upward, the manual unlocking mechanism moves upward along the slide slot, stops when it moves to the upper limit stop block, and realizes the support for the movable cup bottom. This method has a simple structure and a low production cost compared to electronic costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cup holder with expandable depth described in the present invention comprises a cup holder,

[0024] The cup holder comprises a cup holder body 1 and a lower cup holder 2. The lower cup holder 2 is a rectangular parallelepiped with an open upper end and an internal cavity, and the cup holder body 1 is an idle cylinder. The cup holder body 1 is fixedly connected to the lower cup holder 2 by screws. The movable cup bottom 3 is located at the upper open position of the lower cup holder 2. The movable cup bottom 3 is composed of two rectangular plates and is rotatably connected to the lower cup holder 2 by a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring is fixed on the rotating shaft. The movable cup bottom 3 plays a role of separation.

[0025] The inner wall of the cup holder body 1 is provided with two symmetrical slide grooves 5 , in which a manual unlocking mechanism 4 is movably connected. The bottom of the manual unlocking mechanism 4 passes through the movable cup bottom 3 to support the movable cup bottom 3 .

[0026] When in use, when it is necessary to place small items or shallow cups such as cans, the movable cup bottom 3 will not rotate due to the support of the manual unlocking mechanism 4 on the movable cup bottom, and the items can be placed on the cup holder body 1 for easy access. When it is necessary to place a long cup, in order to prevent the cup from sticking out too much after being placed and affecting the driving operation, the manual unlocking mechanism 4 is manually moved to remove the support for the movable cup bottom 3. At this time, due to gravity, the movable cup bottom 3 opens, and the long cup enters the lower cup holder 2, and the long cup does not leak out much, so it will not affect the driving shifting operation; when the cup is taken out, the torsion spring drives the rotating shaft to reset the movable cup bottom 3 to close the movable cup bottom 3, and then the manual unlocking mechanism 4 is adjusted to support it;

[0027] The surface of the movable cup bottom 3 is provided with a through groove which does not affect the movement of the manual unlocking mechanism 4;

[0028] During use, if the movable cup bottom 3 is not provided with a through groove, the manual unlocking mechanism 4 will cause the movable cup bottom to get stuck, and the opening and closing function cannot be realized;

[0029] There are two manual unlocking mechanisms 4, and the two manual unlocking mechanisms 4 are respectively slidably connected to the two slide grooves 5 of the cup holder body 1. A convex block is provided on the upper end of the manual unlocking mechanism 4 facing the inside of the cup holder body 1, so that personnel can operate the sliding manual unlocking mechanism 4. A support block is provided on the part of the lower end of the manual unlocking mechanism 4 that passes through the movable cup bottom 3, which is used to support the movable cup bottom 3; an upper limit stop block 9 is provided on the upper part of the slide groove 5 on the cup holder body 1, and a lower limit stop block 8 is provided on the lower part of the slide groove 5, which is used to limit the moving range of the manual unlocking mechanism 4.

[0030] When in use, when a long cup needs to be placed, the personnel can manually push the protrusion on the manual unlocking mechanism 4 downward, and the manual unlocking mechanism 4 moves downward along the chute 5, and stops when it moves to the lower limit stop block 8, releasing the support for the movable cup bottom 3 to achieve the placement of cups of different depths, and when the protrusion is pushed upward. The manual unlocking mechanism 4 moves upward along the chute 5, and stops when it moves to the upper limit stop block 9, to achieve the support for the movable cup bottom 3. This method has a simple structure and a low production cost compared to electronic costs.

[0031] A protrusion is provided on the side of the slide groove 5 corresponding to the position of the convex block on the upper part of the manual unlocking mechanism 4; a recess is provided on the upper part of the slide groove 5 below the upper limit stop block 9 and on the lower part of the slide groove 5 below the lower limit stop block 8, and the protrusion and the recess correspond to each other to lock the manual unlocking mechanism 4.

[0032] During use, when the position of the protrusion of the manual unlocking mechanism 4 moves to the position of the upper limit stop block 9, at this time, you only need to press the protrusion on the manual unlocking mechanism 4 into the recessed opening on the slide groove 5 to realize the locking function. The function is the same when it moves to the lower limit stop block 8, ensuring that the manual unlocking mechanism 4 can realize the normal supporting function.

[0033] The surface of the slide groove 5 is evenly provided with convex points. The convex points are provided to prevent the manual unlocking mechanism 4 from sliding down after the protrusion on the manual unlocking mechanism 4 falls off the slide groove 5, thereby opening the movable cup bottom 3 and causing the shallow cup to fall and spill liquid or the cup to be difficult to take out. Due to the provision of the convex points, if the protrusion slides down, it will be stuck on the convex points to ensure the support of the movable cup bottom 3, thereby preventing the shallow cup from falling and being difficult to take out, or the problem of liquid spilling.

[0034] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention.
