Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vehicle-mounted appliance technology, and more specifically, relates to a sliding structure for a vehicle-mounted cup holder. Background Technology

[0002] Car cup holders are common car interior accessories used to hold water cups and other items. With the improvement of people's living standards, their requirements for car interiors have also increased. Most people prefer cars with large interior space and multiple functions. Therefore, many car cup holders have developed storage structures that can be folded up when not in use, without taking up extra space. Generally, there are two ways to fold them up: sliding and folding. However, most cup holders are made of plastic and slide by locking. This method can easily cause dust to accumulate over time, making it difficult to slide and eventually producing noise, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a sliding structure for a car cup holder in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a sliding structure for a car cup holder. This solves the problem that sliding car cup holders, when used for extended periods, tend to get stuck due to dust accumulation, causing obstruction and noise, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0005] The purpose and effect of the sliding structure for a car cup holder of the present invention are achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0006] A sliding structure for a car cup holder includes a base, with mounting frames vertically arranged at both ends of the base, two sliding rods passing through the two mounting frames, and movable seats slidably connected to the two sliding rods;

[0007] The movable seat includes a support bracket, and sleeves are integrally formed on both sides of the support bracket. The sleeves are respectively fitted onto corresponding slide rods. The sleeves have an inner hole with a diameter larger than that of the slide rod. The sleeves also have a positioning groove, and a connecting sleeve is engaged in the positioning groove. The connecting sleeve is fitted onto the slide rod. A retaining strip is provided between the positioning groove and the connecting sleeve. One sleeve has four retaining strips distributed in it, located at the top, bottom, left, and right respectively, and the other sleeve has two retaining strips distributed at the top and bottom.

[0008] Furthermore, each side of the bearing support has two sleeves coaxially distributed, and the inner holes of the two coaxial sleeves are connected. Two retaining strips are distributed vertically inside the two coaxial sleeves on one side, and four retaining strips are distributed horizontally and vertically inside the two coaxial sleeves on the other side.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the connecting sleeve is wavy.

[0010] Furthermore, a resistance mechanism is provided between the movable seat and the base. The resistance mechanism includes a gear damper. A limit plate is provided on the base along its length direction. A rack is provided on the limit plate along its length direction. The gear damper is engaged at the bottom of the movable seat and meshes with the rack.

[0011] Furthermore, a sliding control mechanism is provided between the movable seat and the limiting plate. The sliding control mechanism includes a cam buckle, which is rotatably connected to the movable seat. A guide rod is provided at the bottom of the end of the cam buckle. A slot track is provided on the limiting plate. The guide rod passes through the notch on the movable seat and is engaged in the slot track. The movable seat is connected to the end of the base through an elastic tension structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the cam buckle is connected to the movable seat via a shaft pin.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The sliding method using double slide rods increases the stability of the moving seat and makes it less prone to jamming during sliding. Furthermore, the two locking strips distributed vertically within the single sleeve of the moving seat allow for movement between the connecting sleeve and the positioning groove at the horizontal level, effectively compensating for the angular offset caused by the two slide rods not being completely parallel. This prevents noise and sliding obstruction caused by squeezing and rubbing the slide rods during sliding. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example:

[0027] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:

[0028] This invention provides a sliding structure for a car cup holder, including a base 1. The base 1 is used to be installed inside the storage box between the driver's cab and the passenger seat in the car. The base 1 has a mounting frame 2 vertically installed at both ends. Two sliding rods 3 are passed through the two mounting frames 2. A movable seat 4 is slidably connected to the two sliding rods 3. The movable seat 4 is used to support the cup holder. The movable seat 4 can move the cup holder by sliding on the sliding rods 3, so that the cup holder can be extended on the storage box for use and can be stored and hidden.

[0029] The movable seat 4 includes a support bracket 41, with sleeves 46 integrally formed on both sides. The sleeves 46 are respectively fitted onto corresponding sliding rods 3. The movable seat 4 can slide along the sliding rods 3 by means of the sleeves 46 fitted onto them. Each sleeve 46 has an inner hole 44, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the sliding rod 3. A positioning groove 43 is also provided inside the sleeve 46, and a connecting sleeve 42 is fitted into the positioning groove 43. The connecting sleeve 42 is fitted onto the sliding rod 3. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting sleeve 42 slides in contact with the slide rod 3, and the slide rod 3 is suspended in the inner hole 44. A retaining strip 45 is provided between the positioning groove 43 and the connecting sleeve 42. Four retaining strips 45 are distributed in one sleeve 46, located at the top, bottom, left and right respectively, and two retaining strips 45 are distributed at the top and bottom in the other sleeve 46. The setting of the retaining strips 45 allows the connecting sleeve 42 on one side to have a space for left and right offset in the corresponding positioning groove 43. When the two slide rods 3 are not parallel or have errors, it can compensate for the offset caused by the horizontal angle and prevent the moving seat 4 from jamming due to the change in the distance between the two slide rods 3.

[0030] In a typical production process, the height of the sliding rods 3 on the two mounting frames 2 can be kept at the same level. However, during the installation of the sliding rods 3, the thin sides of the base 1 are prone to deformation, resulting in the two sliding rods 3 being at the same height but having an error in the vertical direction and not being parallel, thus failing to achieve absolute levelness. Therefore, the special design of the locking strip 45 allows the connecting sleeve 42 to swing left and right during the sliding process of the moving seat 4, avoiding noise caused by errors brought about by the external installation of the sliding rods 3, and preventing the cup holder from being obstructed or jammed, thereby improving the user experience.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, each side of the support bracket 41 has two sleeves 46 coaxially distributed, and the inner holes 44 between the two coaxial sleeves 46 are connected. Two retaining strips 45 are distributed vertically inside the two coaxial sleeves 46 on one side, and four retaining strips 45 are distributed horizontally and vertically inside the two coaxial sleeves 46 on the other side. The support bracket 41 is provided with two coaxial sleeves 46 on each side, which makes the structure more stable, increases the stability of the sliding seat 4 when sliding, and increases the load-bearing capacity of the support bracket 41.

[0032] The inner wall of the connecting sleeve 42 is wavy, which allows the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 42 to deform under pressure, making it less prone to damage. At the same time, it reduces the contact area between the connecting sleeve 42 and the slide rod 3, making the sliding more flexible. In addition, the design of the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 42 increases the amount of error compensation for the non-parallelism of the two slide rods 3 while deforming under pressure.

[0033] Among them, a limiting plate 6 is provided on the base 1 along its length direction, and a rack is provided on the limiting plate 6 along its length direction. A gear damper is installed at the bottom of the movable seat 4, and the gear damper meshes with the rack. During the forward sliding of the movable seat 4, the gear damper rotates on the rack, which plays a buffering role. The movable seat 4 is buffered and its moving speed is reduced when it is pulled by external force.

[0034] A cam buckle 51 is also provided between the movable seat 4 and the limiting plate 6. The cam buckle 51 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 4. A guide rod 54 is provided at the bottom of the end 53 of the cam buckle 51. A slot track is provided on the limiting plate 6. The guide rod 54 passes through the notch on the movable seat 4 and is locked in the slot track. The movable seat 4 is connected to the end of the base 1 through an elastic tension structure. In this embodiment, the elastic tension structure is a tension spring or a coil spring. Pushing the cup holder backward causes the movable seat 4 to slide backward. The guide rod 54 swings in the slot track and disengages from the slot. The tension spring or coil spring can then drive the cup holder forward through the movable seat 4 and pop out. To retract the cup holder, push the cup holder to make the movable seat 4 slide backward until the guide rod 54 is locked back into the slot to complete the storage.

[0035] The cam buckle 51 is connected to the movable seat 4 by a shaft pin 52, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the cam buckle 51.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical application of the invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention and to design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
