Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a vehicle-mounted flip-top cup holder. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automotive technology and the upgrading of consumption, users' functional requirements for cars are constantly increasing, gradually shifting from a means of transportation to functions such as intelligence, comfort, aesthetics, safety, and ample storage space.

[0003] Car cup holders are used to hold cups in place, preventing liquids from spilling while the vehicle is in motion. Modern cup holders typically have a flip-top cover at the opening, which seals the cup holder for a clean and aesthetically pleasing surface. However, cup holders cannot be used to hold mobile phones, tablets, or other electronic devices, making their function relatively limited. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a car-mounted flip cup holder that can not only hold water cups, but also serve as a stand to hold mobile phones, tablets and other electronic products, thus offering multiple functions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0006] This application provides a vehicle-mounted flip-top cup holder, comprising: a box body with two placement cavities and a partition between them, the placement cavities being used to accommodate cups; and two lids, each closable in its corresponding placement cavity. In a first state, the lids are closed over their respective placement cavities; in a second state, the two lids are flipped toward the partition to form a clamping space between the two lids and the partition for holding a target object.

[0007] According to the above settings, the placement cavity can be opened by flipping the cover plate. The placement cavity can be used to fix the water cup, and a clamping space is formed between the two covers plate. Mobile phones and tablets can be placed in the clamping space. The partition supports the mobile phones and tablets in the clamping space, and it can be used as a stand to fix the mobile phones and tablets. It has multiple functions.

[0008] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove that communicate with the placement cavity, and the cover plate is provided with a first sliding post and a second sliding post respectively. The first sliding post is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove, and the second sliding post is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove. The car flip cup holder also includes a rocker arm that is rotatably connected to the box body. One end of the rocker arm is provided with a movable hole, and the second sliding post is also slidably disposed in the movable hole.

[0009] According to the above configuration, the first sliding column slides along the first sliding groove, and the second sliding column slides along the second sliding groove, so that the cover plate can be flipped along a specific trajectory, ensuring that the cover plate can cover the opening of the placement cavity when it is in a horizontal state, and can be partially located outside the placement cavity when it is in a vertical state; the elastic component pulls the rocker arm, and applies an elastic force to the cover plate to flip towards the second state through the rocker arm. The structure is simple and has a high degree of integration.

[0010] Furthermore, the in-vehicle flip cup holder also includes an elastic component disposed between the box body and the cover, with one end of the elastic component connected to the box body and the other end of the elastic component connected to the rocker arm.

[0011] According to the above settings, when the cover is in a horizontal state, it seals the opening of the placement cavity, and the opening is closed to ensure the flatness of the box surface. When the cover is flipped to a vertical state, the opening is open, and a water cup can be placed into the placement cavity through the opening to fix the water cup. The elastic component provides elastic force for the cover to flip towards the vertical state, thereby ensuring that the two covers can effectively clamp and fix the mobile phone or tablet in the middle. It can also be used to clamp mobile phones or tablets of different thicknesses to ensure the fixation effect of the mobile phone or tablet.

[0012] Furthermore, a lock head is provided on the rocker arm, and a switch assembly that cooperates with the lock head is provided on the box body. The switch assembly is used to limit the lock head so that the cover plate is kept in a horizontal state.

[0013] According to the above configuration, the switch assembly is installed on the box body and has a lock hole. When the cover is flipped to a horizontal position to cover the opening, the lock head of the rocker arm is inserted into the lock hole of the switch assembly to limit the lock head, thereby keeping the cover in a horizontal position. When it is necessary to open the opening, simply press the cover again to release the switch assembly from limiting the lock head.

[0014] Furthermore, a support boss is provided inside the cavity, and a buffer pad is provided on the cover plate. When the switch assembly fixes the lock head, the buffer pad abuts against the support boss.

[0015] According to the above settings, when the lock head is inserted into the lock hole of the switch assembly, the cover plate is in a horizontal state. At this time, the buffer pad on the cover plate abuts against the support boss in the placement cavity, which can ensure the stability of the cover plate. Moreover, the buffer pad can be used to press the cover plate downward to release the switch assembly from limiting the lock head.

[0016] Furthermore, a third sliding groove is provided on the box body. The third sliding groove is centered on the rotation axis of the rocker arm, and a third sliding column is provided on the rocker arm. The third sliding column is slidably disposed in the third sliding groove.

[0017] According to the above configuration, the third sliding column on the rocker arm slides along the third sliding groove, further ensuring the stability of the rocker arm rotation.

[0018] Furthermore, a damper is provided on the box body. The damper includes a fixed base connected to the box body and a rotating part rotatably disposed in the fixed base. There is a damping force between the rotating part and the fixed base, and the rocker arm is connected to the rotating part.

[0019] Based on the above settings, the damper can provide resistance to the rocker arm, so that the cover can be turned slowly, preventing the cover from opening quickly under the elastic force of the elastic component and colliding with the mobile phone or partition, thus protecting the cover and the mobile phone.

[0020] Furthermore, in the first state, the cover plate is in a horizontal state; in the second state, the cover plate is flipped to a vertical state, with a portion of the cover plate inside the placement cavity and another portion outside the placement cavity to form a clamping space.

[0021] According to the above configuration, when the cover is flipped to the vertical position, part of the cover is located inside the placement cavity, and the other part is located outside the placement cavity. The part of the cover outside the placement cavity is used to hold the mobile phone, which can reduce the obstruction of the mobile phone by the cover. The area of ​​obstruction of the mobile phone is smaller, which makes it convenient for users to view important information in time and to take the mobile phone out and put it in.

[0022] Furthermore, buttons are provided on the cover plates, and when the two cover plates are in the second state, the buttons on the two cover plates are positioned opposite each other.

[0023] Based on the above design, the buttons are made of elastic material. When the cover is flipped to a vertical or near-vertical position, the phone is clamped by the two opposing buttons on the two cover plates, increasing the friction between the phone and the device, thus improving the clamping effect. Furthermore, the buttons reduce the minimum clamping space, allowing for effective clamping of even thinner phones.

[0024] Furthermore, a first elastic frame is provided on the side of the cavity away from the partition, and a second elastic frame is provided on the cover. When the cover is in the second state, the second elastic frame is positioned opposite to the first elastic frame to clamp the water cup between them.

[0025] According to the above settings, when the cover is flipped to the vertical position, the second elastic frame is positioned opposite to the first elastic frame. The oppositely positioned first and second elastic frames can ensure the fixation of the water cup and can be used to fix water cups with different outer diameters.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The vehicle-mounted flip cup holder provided in this application opens the placement cavity by flipping the cover plate. The placement cavity can be used to fix a water cup, and a clamping space is formed between the two cover plates. Mobile phones, tablets and other electronic products can be placed in the clamping space. The partition plate supports the mobile phones, tablets and other electronic products in the clamping space. It can be used as a bracket to fix mobile phones, tablets and other electronic products, and has multiple functions. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0042] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a vehicle-mounted flip-top cup holder, including: a box body 1, which has two placement cavities 11 and a partition 12 between the two placement cavities 11, the placement cavities 11 being used to accommodate cups; and two cover plates 2, which are respectively openable and closable in their respective placement cavities 11. In a first state, the cover plates 2 are closed in their respective placement cavities 11; in a second state, the two cover plates 2 are flipped toward the partition 12, so that a clamping space 3 for clamping a target object is formed between the two cover plates 2 and the partition 12.

[0043] In this application, the opening 111 of the placement cavity 11 is opened by flipping the cover plate 2. The placement cavity 11 can be used to fix the water cup a. Moreover, a clamping space 3 is formed between the two cover plates 2, in which mobile phone b and tablet electronic products can be placed. The partition plate 12 supports the mobile phone b and tablet electronic products in the clamping space 3. It can be used as a bracket to fix the mobile phone b and tablet electronic products, and has multiple functions.

[0044] Specifically, the in-vehicle flip cup holder is located on the passenger side of the car's dashboard. By making the cover 2 flip-out, the two cover plates 2 are mirror images of each other. After flipping open the two cover plates 2, a clamping space 3 is formed between the two cover plates 2. Mobile phones b and tablet-like electronic products can be placed on the partition 12. The cover plates 2 on both sides of the partition 12 are used to position and clamp the mobile phone b and tablet-like electronic products. Of course, other tablet-shaped items can also be clamped and fixed.

[0045] In some embodiments, the box body 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 13 and a second sliding groove 14 communicating with the placement cavity 11, and the cover plate 2 is provided with a first sliding post 22 and a second sliding post 23 respectively. The first sliding post 22 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 13, and the second sliding post 23 is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove 14. The vehicle flip cup holder also includes a rocker arm 5 rotatably connected to the box body 1. One end of the rocker arm 5 is provided with a movable hole 51, and the second sliding post 23 is also slidably disposed in the movable hole 51.

[0046] In this application, the first sliding post 22 slides along the first sliding groove 13, and the second sliding post 23 slides along the second sliding groove 14, so that the cover plate 2 can be flipped along a specific trajectory, ensuring that the cover plate 2 can cover the take-up and take-down opening 111 of the placement cavity 11 in the first state, and can be partially located outside the placement cavity 11 in the second state; the elastic component 4 pulls the rocker arm 5, and the rocker arm 5 applies an elastic force to the cover plate 2 to flip toward the second state. The structure is simple and has a high degree of integration.

[0047] Specifically, the cover plate 2 rotates around the first sliding post 22 as the center, and the first sliding post 22 slides along the first sliding groove 13, thereby realizing the flipping of the cover plate 2, so that the cover plate 2 can switch between the first state and the second state, and ensure that the cover plate 2 can seal the take-up and put-down port 111 of the placement cavity 11 in the first state, and open the take-up and put-down port 111 in the second state, with part of it located in the placement cavity 11, saving space.

[0048] In this application, the first slide 13 is horizontally positioned, and the second slide 14 is a curved structure. The opening of the second slide 14 faces away from the first slide 13, allowing the cover plate 2 to flip along a specific trajectory. The cover plate 2 achieves flipping in a narrow space through the double slide structure. Compared with the cup holders in the prior art where the cover plate rotates around a fixed center, this method saves more space and ensures that the cover plate 2 can be partially located outside the placement cavity when flipped to a vertical state. Compared with the cup holders where the cover plate flipping is controlled by a multi-link, the cover plate in this application achieves flipping through the double slide structure, which is simpler in structure. By cooperating with the rocker arm to assist in the cover plate reset, the operation is more reliable.

[0049] In some embodiments, the in-vehicle flip cup holder also includes an elastic component 4 disposed between the housing 1 and the cover 2, with one end of the elastic component 4 connected to the housing 1 and the other end of the elastic component 4 connected to the rocker arm 5.

[0050] In this application, when the cover plate 2 is in the first state, it covers the take-up and put-down opening 111 of the placement cavity 11, and the take-up and put-down opening 111 is in the closed state to ensure the flatness of the surface of the box body 1; when the cover plate 2 is flipped to the second state, the take-up and put-down opening 111 is in the open state, and the water cup a can be put into the placement cavity 11 through the take-up and put-down opening 111 to fix the water cup a; the elastic component 4 provides the cover plate 2 with the elastic force to flip toward the second state, thereby ensuring that the two cover plates 2 can be effectively clamped and fixed to the mobile phone b or tablet located in the middle, and it can also be applied to clamping mobile phones b or tablets of different thicknesses to ensure the fixing effect of mobile phones b or tablets.

[0051] In some embodiments, a lock head 52 is provided on the rocker arm 5, and a switch assembly 6 that cooperates with the lock head 52 is provided on the housing 1. The switch assembly 6 is used to limit the lock head 52 so that the cover plate 2 is kept in the first state.

[0052] In this application, the switch assembly 6 is disposed on the housing 1, and the switch assembly 6 is provided with a lock hole. When the cover plate 2 is flipped to the first state to cover the take-out port 111, the lock head 52 of the rocker arm 5 is inserted into the lock hole of the switch assembly 6 to limit the lock head 52, thereby keeping the cover plate 2 in the first state. When it is necessary to open the take-out port 111, the lock head 52 can be released by pressing the cover plate 2 again.

[0053] Specifically, the switch assembly 6 uses a labyrinth lock with a keyhole at the bottom. After the lock head 52 is inserted into the keyhole, it automatically locks and limits its position. By pressing the cover plate 2 again, the lock head 52 can be moved further into the keyhole, thus unlocking the device. The rocker arms 5 are located on both sides of the housing 1, making both the switch assembly 6 and the lock head 52, which form the locking structure, a concealed design, improving the neatness of the flip-top cup holder.

[0054] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is further provided with a third slide groove 15, the third slide groove 15 is centered on the rotation axis of the rocker arm 5, the rocker arm 5 is provided with a third sliding post 53, and the third sliding post 53 is slidably disposed in the third slide groove 15.

[0055] In this application, the third sliding post 53 on the rocker arm 5 slides along the third sliding groove 15, which ensures the stability of the rotation of the rocker arm 5 in some embodiments.

[0056] In some embodiments, a damper 7 is provided on the housing 1. The damper 7 includes a fixed base 71 connected to the housing 1 and a rotating part 72 rotatably disposed in the fixed base 71. The rotating part 72 has a damping force with the fixed base 71, and the rocker arm 5 is connected to the rotating part 72.

[0057] In this application, the damper 7 can provide resistance to the rocker arm 5, so that the cover 2 can be turned slowly, avoiding the cover 2 from opening quickly under the elastic force of the elastic component 4 and colliding with the mobile phone b or the partition 12, thus protecting the cover 2 and the mobile phone b.

[0058] In some embodiments, in the first state, the cover plate 2 is in a horizontal state; in the second state, the cover plate 2 is flipped to a vertical state, and a portion of the cover plate 2 is located inside the placement cavity 11, while another portion is located outside the placement cavity 11 to form a clamping space 3.

[0059] In this application, when the cover plate 2 is flipped to the vertical position, a part of the cover plate 2 is located inside the placement cavity 11, and another part is located outside the placement cavity 11. The part of the cover plate 2 located outside the placement cavity 11 is used to hold the mobile phone b, which can reduce the obstruction of the mobile phone b by the cover plate 2. The obstruction area of ​​the mobile phone b is smaller, which makes it convenient for users to view important information in a timely manner and to take the mobile phone b out and put it in.

[0060] In some embodiments, a button 21 is provided on the cover plate 2, and when the two cover plates 2 are in the second state, the button 21 on the two cover plates 2 is arranged opposite to each other.

[0061] In this application, the button 21 is made of elastic material. When the cover plate 2 is flipped to a vertical or near-vertical position, the two opposing buttons 21 on the two cover plates 2 clamp the mobile phone b, increasing the friction between the two devices and the mobile phone b, thereby improving the clamping effect. Moreover, by setting the button 21, the minimum width of the clamping space 3 can be reduced, enabling effective clamping of thinner mobile phones b.

[0062] In some embodiments, a support boss 112 is provided in the placement cavity 11, and a buffer pad 24 is provided on the cover plate 2. When the switch assembly 6 fixes the lock head 52, the buffer pad 24 abuts against the support boss 112.

[0063] In this application, when the lock head 52 is inserted into the lock hole of the switch assembly 6, the cover plate 2 is in a horizontal state. At this time, the buffer pad 24 on the cover plate 2 abuts against the support boss 112 in the placement cavity 11, which can ensure the stability of the cover plate 2. Moreover, the cover plate 2 can be pressed down through the buffer pad 24 to release the switch assembly 6 from limiting the lock head 52.

[0064] Specifically, the cover plate 2 includes an inner cover 26, an outer cover 27, and an integrated button 28. The integrated button 28 is provided with a button 21 and a buffer pad 24. The integrated button 28 is located between the outer cover 27 and the inner cover 26. The outer cover 27 is provided with a first mounting hole for the button 21 to extend out, and the inner cover 26 is provided with a second mounting hole for the buffer pad 24 to extend out. Mounting plates 29 are provided on opposite sides of the inner cover 26, and a first sliding post 22 and a second sliding post 23 are located on the outside of the mounting plates 29.

[0065] In some embodiments, a first elastic frame 16 is provided on the side of the placement cavity 11 away from the partition 12, and a second elastic frame 25 is provided on the cover plate 2. When the cover plate 2 is in the second state, the second elastic frame 25 is arranged opposite to the first elastic frame 16 to clamp the water cup a between the two.

[0066] In this application, when the cover plate 2 is flipped to the vertical position, the second elastic frame 25 is arranged opposite to the first elastic frame 16. The first elastic frame 16 and the second elastic frame 25 arranged opposite to each other can ensure the fixing effect of the water cup a, and can be applied to fixing water cups a with different outer diameters.

[0067] The car-mounted flip cup holder opens the placement cavity 111 by flipping the cover 2. The placement cavity 11 can be used to fix the water cup a, and a clamping space 3 is formed between the two cover plates 2, which can hold mobile phones b and tablet electronic products. The partition 12 supports the mobile phones b and tablet electronic products in the clamping space 3, and it can be used as a bracket to fix mobile phones b and tablet electronic products, with multiple functions.

[0068] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate this application, and the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this application are all within the scope of protection of this application.
