The first connector 11 is formed as a plug, and the second connector is formed as a socket, with the plug adapted to extend into the socket. Preferably, the first connector 11 and the second connector are magnetically connected, using the vehicle's low voltage to power the cup holder assembly 100. Thus, the connection between the cup holder assembly 100 and the armrest box assembly is simple, reducing the difficulty of assembly and maintenance, and facilitating disassembly and assembly.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle further includes a central control unit configured to determine whether to remind the driver or passenger to drink water based on occupant information. The cup holder assembly 100 is signal-connected to the central control unit via a first connector 11 and a second connector. That is, the first connector 11 and the second connector are not only electrically connected but also signal-connected. The connection between the cup holder assembly 100 and the central control unit facilitates control of the cup holder assembly 100 by the driver or passenger during driving, reducing the difficulty of using the cup holder assembly 100.

[0041] In other embodiments, the cup holder assembly 100 can be connected to the central control unit via Bluetooth to address the issue of reminding drivers and passengers to drink water while driving.

That is, the cup holder assembly 100 also includes a heating module and a switch module 4. Since the water temperature in the cup may decrease over time, the heating module is used to reheat the water in the cup to maintain the water temperature at 55°C. Therefore, the cup holder assembly 100 is ingeniously designed, improving user convenience and ease of use.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cup holder assembly 100 further includes a switch module 4, which is signal-connected to the reminder module 3 and / or signal-connected to the heating module. That is, the switch module 4 can be signal-connected to the reminder module 3, the switch module 4 can also be signal-connected to the heating module, or the switch module 4 can be signal-connected to both the reminder module 3 and the heating module simultaneously. Therefore, the reminder module 3 or the heating module can be turned on and off via the switch module 4, reducing unnecessary power consumption, lowering vehicle energy consumption, and extending vehicle range.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a hook 12 is formed on the outer wall of the seat 1, and the hook 12 has a hook arm 121 for hanging items. In this way, the problem of placing items in the cup holder assembly 100 is solved, as well as the problem of maintaining water temperature in the cup holder assembly 100. Furthermore, the problem of insufficient water intake by drivers and passengers is solved, thereby increasing the water intake of drivers and passengers and ensuring their health.
