[0073] The technical solutions of the present application are further illustrated in the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0074] Embodiment One

[0075] In view of the defects of the existing automobile cup holder structure, the present applicant, based on rich practical experience and professional knowledge in designing and manufacturing such products for many years, and with the application of theories, actively conducts research and innovation in the hope of creating a technology that can solve the defects in the prior art, so that the automobile cup holder structure is more practical. After continuous research, design, and repeated trial and improvement of samples, the present application is finally created, which has practical value.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 1-2 The embodiment of the present application provides an automobile cup holder, which comprises a cup holder 1, a cup stand 2 and a height adjusting mechanism 3; wherein,

[0077] The cup stand 2 is arranged inside the cup holder 1, and the cup stand 2 is slidingly connected with the cup holder 1.

[0078] The height adjusting mechanism 3 is arranged between the cup holder 1 and the cup stand 2, and is used for adjusting the height of the cup stand 2.

[0079] It should be noted that the cup holder 1 can be cylindrical, and the cup stand 2 is arranged inside the cup holder 1. When the cup stand 2 slides along the height direction of the cup holder 1, the cup holder 1 can guide the sliding of the cup stand 2, so that the sliding of the cup stand 2 is more stable.

[0080] The cup stand 2 and the cup holder 1 are slidingly connected through a sliding assembly composed of a sliding block and a sliding groove. The sliding groove is arranged on the cup holder 1, and the extension direction of the sliding groove is the same as the height direction of the cup holder 1; the sliding block is fixedly connected with the cup stand 2, and the sliding block is clamped in the sliding groove and can slide along the sliding groove. In this way, the sliding block and the sliding groove can guide the sliding of the cup stand 2, so that the sliding of the cup stand 2 is more stable.

[0081] In order to solve the problem of the height of the cup holder in the prior art being not adjustable, the height adjusting mechanism is arranged between the cup holder and the cup stand in the embodiment. Under the action of the height adjusting mechanism, the cup stand 2 can be fixed at different heights of the cup holder 1, that is, the height adjusting mechanism can control the depth of the cup stand 2 to descend, so that the cup holder can be suitable for placing water cups of different heights.

[0082] There are many structure designs for the height adjusting mechanism 3, and different structure designs can be selected according to different requirements, as long as the cup stand 2 can be fixed at different heights of the cup holder 1. In order to more clearly explain the principle of height adjustment, two specific structure designs are introduced in detail in the embodiment.

[0083] In the first embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-2 again, and refer to Figure 3 The height adjusting mechanism 3 comprises a sliding groove 301, a pivot 302 and a stop block 303.

[0084] The sliding groove 301 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the side wall of the cup holder 1, and the sliding groove 301 extends along the height direction of the cup holder 1.

[0085] One end of the pivot 302 is rotatably connected with the cup stand 2, and the other end of the pivot 302 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 301.

[0086] The stop block 303 that can make the pivot 302 slide and / or stay is arranged at positions corresponding to different heights of the cup holder 1 in the sliding groove 301.

[0087] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the locking and unlocking of the pivot 302 are realized by pressing the cup stand 2 and cooperating with the stop block 303. Specifically, the pivot 302 is moved in the sliding groove 301 by pressing the cup stand 2, and in the moving process, the pivot 302 slides along the groove wall of the sliding groove 301 or the guide portion of the stop block 303 and swings, until the pivot 302 reaches the locking portion of the first stop block 303. At this time, if the pressing is stopped, the pivot 302 will be locked at the locking portion of the first stop block 303, and the cup stand 2 is fixed at the height corresponding to the first stop block 303. If the pressing continues, until the pivot 302 leaves the locking portion of the stop block 303, the pivot 302 will be unlocked, and the cup stand 2 will bounce up to the top. If the pressing continues, until the pivot 302 reaches the locking portion of the second stop block 303, the pivot 302 will be locked at the locking portion of the second stop block 303, and the cup stand 2 will be fixed at the height corresponding to the second stop block 303.

[0088] It can be understood that although the present embodiment provides two segments of height adjustment, more segments of height adjustment can be provided in the slide groove 301 at different height positions of the cup holder 1 if necessary, i.e. the stop block 303 is provided at more height positions.

[0089] In the second embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-2 again, and refer to Figure 4 , the height adjustment mechanism 3 comprises a slide groove 301, a pendulum pin 302, a stop block 303, an unlocking button 304 and an unlocking link 305.

[0090] The slide groove 301 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the side wall of the cup holder 1, and extends along the height direction of the cup holder 1.

[0091] One end of the pendulum pin 302 is rotatably connected with the cup holder 2, and the other end of the pendulum pin 302 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 301.

[0092] The unlocking button 304 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the side wall of the cup holder 1, and the unlocking button 304 is in contact with the unlocking link 305 through a first inclined block 306.

[0093] The unlocking link 305 is arranged in the side wall of the cup holder 1, and extends along the height direction of the cup holder 1.

[0094] The unlocking link 305 is provided with the stop block 303 corresponding to different height positions of the cup holder 1, which can make the pendulum pin 302 slide and / or stay.

[0095] The stop block 303 penetrates into the slide groove 301.

[0096] The unlocking link 305 is in contact with the stop block 303 through a second inclined block 307.

[0097] When the unlocking button 304 is pressed, the unlocking button 304 drives the unlocking link 305 to move through the first inclined block 306, so that the unlocking link 305 drives the stop block 303 to move into the side wall of the cup holder 1 through the second inclined block 307, so as to unlock the pendulum pin 302.

[0098] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the locking of the pendulum pin 302 is achieved by pressing the cup holder 2 to cooperate with the stop block 303, and the unlocking of the pendulum pin 302 is achieved by the unlocking key 304 and the unlocking connecting rod 305 cooperating with the stop block 303. Specifically, by pressing the cup holder 2 to drive the pendulum pin 302 to move in the sliding groove 301, during the movement, the pendulum pin 302 will slide and swing along the groove wall of the sliding groove 301 or the guide part of the stop block 303, until the pendulum pin 302 reaches the locking part of the first stop block 303, at this time, if the pressing is stopped, the pendulum pin 302 will be locked at the locking part of the first stop block 303, and the cup holder 2 is fixed at the height corresponding to the first stop block 303; if the pressing continues, until the pendulum pin 302 reaches the locking part of the second stop block 303, the pendulum pin 302 will be locked at the locking part of the second stop block 303, and the cup holder 2 is fixed at the height corresponding to the second stop block 303. If you want to unlock the pendulum pin 302, you only need to press the unlocking key 304, the movement of the unlocking key 304 will drive the unlocking connecting rod 305 to move along the first inclined surface block 306 (specifically, the unlocking connecting rod 305 moves from low to high), during the movement of the unlocking connecting rod 305, the unlocking connecting rod 305 will also drive the stop block 303 to move along the second inclined surface block 307 (specifically, the stop block 303 moves from the outside of the side wall of the cup holder 1 to the inside of the side wall of the cup holder 1), that is, the stop block 303 changes from protruding from the side wall of the cup holder 1 to hidden in the side wall of the cup holder 1, so that the pendulum pin 302 is unlocked from the locking part of the stop block 303, and the cup holder 2 rebounds to the top.

[0099] It can be understood that different stop blocks 303 at different height positions correspond to a second inclined surface block 307 cooperating therewith.

[0100] In addition, for the same reason, although the drawings provided by the present embodiment have only two segments of height adjustment, if necessary, more segments of height adjustment can be provided in the sliding groove 301 corresponding to different height positions of the cup holder 1, that is, the stop block 303 is provided at more height positions.

[0101] Please refer to Figures 1-2 , and refer to Figure 5 In the present embodiment, the automobile cup holder further comprises a lifting mechanism 4;

[0102] The cup holder 1 is provided with a lifting guide groove 5 extending in the height direction of the cup holder 1;

[0103] The lifting mechanism 4 comprises a coil spring shaft seat 401, a coil spring shaft 402 and a coil spring 403;

[0104] The coil spring shaft base 401 is slidingly arranged in the lifting guide slot 5;

[0105] The coil spring shaft 402 is arranged on the coil spring shaft base 401;

[0106] The coil spring 403 is wound on the coil spring shaft 402, and one end of the coil spring 403 is connected with the coil spring shaft 402, and the other end of the coil spring 403 is connected with the top of the cup holder 1.

[0107] It should be noted that when the pendulum pin 302 is unlocked, the cup holder 2 is pulled up to the top by the lifting mechanism 4. Specifically, when the cup holder 2 is at the top, the coil spring 403 is in the initial compressed state, and when the cup holder 2 is pressed down from the top due to external force, the coil spring 403 changes from the compressed state to the stretched state, and the lower the cup holder 2 is lowered, the greater the stretch of the coil spring 403. The process of this stretch makes the elastic potential energy of the coil spring 403 increase continuously, so that after the external force is removed, the kinetic energy is released, and the coil spring 403 returns to the compressed state, which can provide a pulling force to the cup holder 2.

[0108] Exemplarily, the lifting mechanism 4 is arranged with at least two spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the cup holder 1.

[0109] Please refer to Figures 1-2 , and refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the automobile cup holder further comprises a damping mechanism 6;

[0110] The cup holder 1 is provided with a damping guide slot 7 extending in the height direction of the cup holder 1;

[0111] The damping mechanism 6 comprises a damping shaft base 601, a damping shaft 602, a damper 603 and a rack 604;

[0112] The damping shaft base 601 is slidingly arranged in the damping guide slot 7;

[0113] The damping shaft 602 is arranged on the damping shaft base 601;

[0114] The damper 603 is arranged on the damping shaft 602, and the gear on the damper 603 is engaged with the rack 604;

[0115] The rack 604 is arranged on the cup holder 1.

[0116] It should be noted that in the process of the cup holder 2 rising and falling, especially in the process of rising, the damping mechanism 6 can play a role in deceleration and buffering, so that the cup holder 2 rises and falls more gently, and the impact is reduced.

[0117] Exemplarily, the damping mechanism 6 is arranged with at least one in the circumferential direction of the cup holder 1.

[0118] Please refer again to Figures 1-2 , and refer to Figures 7-9 In the embodiment, the automobile cup holder further comprises at least two clamping mechanisms 8.

[0119] The at least two clamping mechanisms 8 are arranged at intervals on the inner wall surface of the side wall of the cup holder 1.

[0120] It should be noted that the arrangement of the clamping mechanism 8 can improve the fixing effect of the water cup and provide a better user experience.

[0121] Exemplarily, the clamping mechanism 8 is arranged with three in the circumferential direction of the cup holder 1, and the three clamping mechanisms 8 are distributed in an equilateral triangle shape. In this way, the stress of the water cup is more balanced, and the clamping of the water cup is more stable and firm.

[0122] Please refer again to Figures 7-9 In the embodiment, the clamping mechanism 8 comprises a first swing arm 801, a second swing arm 802 and an elastic member 803.

[0123] The first swing arm 801 is rotatably arranged in the side wall of the cup holder 1.

[0124] The second swing arm 802 is rotatably arranged in the side wall of the cup holder 1, and the second swing arm 802 extends into the interior of the cup holder 1.

[0125] One end of the elastic member 803 is connected with the first end of the first swing arm 801, and the other end of the elastic member 803 is in movable contact with the first end of the second swing arm 802.

[0126] When the cup holder 2 is lowered to contact the second end of the second swing arm 802 and drive the second swing arm 802 to rotate, the second swing arm 802 contacts the elastic member 803 and drives the first swing arm 801 to rotate through the elastic member 803, so that the second end of the first swing arm 801 extends into the interior of the cup holder 1 to provide a clamping force.

[0127] It should be noted that the cup holder 2 is driven by the downward external force to drive the clamping mechanism 8 to work. Specifically, when the cup holder 2 is lowered to contact the second end of the second swing arm 802, the second swing arm 802 rotates, and the second swing arm 802 changes from the state of extending into the interior of the cup holder 1 to the state of being hidden in the side wall of the cup holder 1. In the process of rotating the second swing arm 802, the second swing arm 802 will contact the elastic member 803, thereby driving the first swing arm 801 to rotate through the elastic member 803, and the first swing arm 801 changes from the state of being hidden in the side wall of the cup holder 1 to the state of extending into the interior of the cup holder 1 (specifically, the second end of the first swing arm 801 extends into the interior of the cup holder 1), thereby clamping and fixing the water cup, making the water cup firmly in the interior of the cup holder 1, and effectively reducing the shaking of the water cup during the driving of the vehicle and avoiding the overturning of the water cup.

[0128] In addition, since the elastic member 803 itself has elastic potential energy, if the first end of the second swing arm 802 contacts the elastic member 803 in the initial state, the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 803 will act on the second swing arm 802 at the beginning, so that a larger force is required to press down the cup holder 2 at the beginning, resulting in poor user experience. Therefore, in order to improve the user experience, the first end of the second swing arm 802 is not in contact with the elastic member 803 in the initial state.

[0129] Please refer to Figures 1-2 and Figures 7-9 In the embodiment, the second end of the first swing arm 801 is provided with a roller 804.

[0130] The tangent direction of the rolling of the roller 804 is the same as the height direction of the cup holder 1.

[0131] It should be noted that, in order to reduce the possibility of scratching the water cup by the first swing arm 801 when clamping the water cup, and improve the smoothness of the water cup when clamping the water cup, the second end of the first swing arm 801 extending into the interior of the cup holder 1 is provided with the roller 804, and the roller 804 realizes the rolling contact with the water cup.

[0132] Preferably, the roller 804 is provided with a rubber 805.

[0133] It should be noted that under the joint action of the rubber 805 and the roller 804, the water cup will be subjected to a resistance in the circumferential direction of the cup holder, thereby facilitating the effect of opening the bottle cap with one hand.

[0134] It can be understood that the upper surface of the cup holder 2 can also be detachably provided with a pad plate, and the surface of the pad plate is provided with a plurality of anti-skid lines, so that the pad plate can play a horizontal anti-skid role and ensure that the water cup is not easily overturned during single-handed bottle cap opening.

[0135] For reference Figures 10-12 In the embodiment, the bottom of the cup holder 2 is provided with at least two abutting portions 9 corresponding to and movably contacting the at least two clamping mechanisms 8.

[0136] The at least two abutting portions 9 protrude from the bottom of the cup holder 2 at different heights.

[0137] It should be noted that when the cup holder 2 is lowered to contact the clamping mechanism 8, specifically, the abutting portion 9 at the bottom of the cup holder 2 contacts the second end of the second swing arm 802. The embodiment considers that when at least two abutting portions 9 are provided to cooperate with at least two clamping mechanisms 8, if the at least two abutting portions 9 are simultaneously in contact with the corresponding clamping mechanisms 8, the cup holder 2 will be subjected to greater resistance at that moment, and greater downward pressure is required to press down the cup holder 2, resulting in poor user experience. Therefore, in order to improve the user experience, the embodiment sets different heights of the abutting portions 9 protruding from the bottom of the cup holder 2, so that different abutting portions 9 are not simultaneously in contact with the corresponding clamping mechanisms 8, specifically, different abutting portions 9 sequentially contact the corresponding clamping mechanisms 8 in time, so that the force is dispersed, solving the problem of excessive downward pressure.
