Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive interior parts technology, and particularly relates to an automotive cup holder with a lifting and clamping linkage mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, various user-friendly features in cars are becoming increasingly common. For example, passengers often need to carry medicines, food, or favorite drinks while driving or on long trips. Therefore, car cup holders are often designed to provide convenient storage for passengers. However, traditional car cup holders are usually designed with an open structure, which can affect the overall shape of the car's interior when no cup is placed in it. Furthermore, traditional car cup holders have a fixed volume; when accommodating small cups, the bumps and vibrations during car movement can cause the cups to wobble or even tip over, resulting in spillage of water or beverages.

[0003] Chinese patent (CN202211140212.0) discloses a compact single-slide-rail cup holder. Through its clamping component, it can accommodate containers of different sizes and clamp them securely, improving the user experience. However, when no container is placed in the holder, one end of the clamping component is located within the receiving cavity, interfering with the container's movement and making it difficult to remove, thus negatively impacting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a car cup holder with a lifting and clamping linkage mechanism to solve the problem that the clamping components on the cup holder interfere with the rise of the container and affect the user experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a car cup holder with a lifting and clamping linkage mechanism, comprising a cup holder body, a clamping mechanism, and a locking mechanism. The cup holder body has a receiving cavity, and a cover plate is provided at the opening end of the receiving cavity. The cover plate is slidably connected within the receiving cavity. A hook is provided at the bottom of the cover plate. A bottom cover is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity. A reset component is provided between the bottom cover and the cover plate. A first through hole for the hook to enter and exit is provided on the bottom cover. The locking mechanism is located at the first through hole, and the hook passes through the first through hole and hooks onto the locking mechanism. A plurality of clamping mechanisms are provided on the side wall of the cup holder body. The clamping mechanisms are arranged circumferentially along the cup holder body and are rotatably connected to the cup holder body. The cup holder body has second and third through holes corresponding to the two ends of the clamping mechanisms. When the hook at the bottom of the cover plate hooks onto the locking mechanism, a pressure plate on the cover plate abuts against one side of the bottom of the clamping mechanism, causing the top of the clamping mechanism to enter the receiving cavity through the second through hole.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The clamping mechanism includes a first linkage plate, a clamping block, and a clamping plate. The first linkage plate is rotatably connected to the bottom cover, the clamping block is rotatably connected to the cup holder body, the clamping block is located between the first linkage plate and the third through hole, the clamping plate is rotatably connected to the first linkage plate, and a torsion spring is provided between the clamping plate and the first linkage plate.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The first linkage plate is provided with a fourth through hole for the clamping plate to move.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The first linkage plate is provided with a limiting groove, the limiting groove is provided with a limiting rod, and the cup holder body is provided with a first spring at the position corresponding to the limiting groove.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The bottom cover is provided with a mounting base corresponding to the position of the first linkage plate, and the first linkage plate is rotatably connected to the mounting base via a rotating shaft.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The locking mechanism includes a button, a second linkage plate, and a third linkage plate. The button is located at one end of the second linkage plate and extends into the receiving cavity. The second linkage plate is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the cup holder body. One end of the third linkage plate is rotatably connected to the end of the second linkage plate. The third linkage plate is slidably connected to the bottom cover. The third linkage plate is provided with a fifth through hole for the hook to enter and exit, and the hook is hooked onto the third linkage plate.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] A first locking block is provided on one side of the fifth through hole, and a second spring is provided on the first locking block. The other end of the second spring is connected to a second locking block on the bottom cover.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The third linkage plate is provided with a clearance hole, and the second locking block is located in the clearance hole.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The cover plate is provided with multiple connecting plates, which extend out of the cup holder body through sliding holes. The connecting plates are provided with gears, which mesh with the rack on the cup holder body.

[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0023] The reset component is a spring.

[0024] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In the initial state, the cover plate is flush with the top of the cup holder body. When placing a container, the container applies a downward force to the cover plate, causing the cover plate to move down until the hook passes through the first through hole and the fifth through hole and engages with the third linkage plate. At this time, the pressure plate at the bottom of the cover plate pushes the clamping block out of the receiving cavity. The clamping block drives the first linkage plate to rotate, thereby allowing part of the clamping plate to pass through the second through hole and enter the receiving cavity, thus clamping the container. When removing the container, pressing the button drives the second linkage plate to rotate. The second linkage plate drives the third linkage plate to move, causing the hook to disengage from the third linkage plate. Under the action of the reset component, the cover plate can move upward. During the upward movement of the cover plate, when the cover plate disengages from the clamping block, under the action of the first spring, the clamping plate separates from the container and exits the receiving cavity, thus allowing the container to rise with the cover plate. The linkage between the clamping mechanism and the lifting and lowering of the cover plate is realized, making the operation simple and convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Please see Figure 1-7 This invention provides a car cup holder with a lifting and clamping linkage mechanism, including a cup holder body 1, a clamping mechanism 2, and a locking mechanism 3. The cup holder body 1 has a receiving cavity 4, and a cover plate 5 is provided at the opening end of the receiving cavity 4. The cover plate 5 is slidably connected within the receiving cavity 4, and a hook 51 is provided at the bottom of the cover plate 5. A bottom cover 6 is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity 4, and a reset component is provided between the bottom cover 6 and the cover plate 5. A first through hole 61 for the hook 51 to enter and exit is provided on the bottom cover 6. The locking mechanism 3 is located at the first through hole 61. The cup holder body 1 is hooked onto the locking mechanism 3 through the first through hole 61. A plurality of clamping mechanisms 2 are provided on the side wall of the cup holder body 1. The clamping mechanisms 2 are arranged around the circumference of the cup holder body 1 and are rotatably connected to the cup holder body 1. The cup holder body 1 is provided with a second through hole 7 and a third through hole 8 corresponding to the two ends of the clamping mechanism 2. When the hook 51 at the bottom of the cover plate 5 is hooked onto the locking mechanism 3, the pressure plate 54 on the cover plate 5 abuts against one side of the bottom of the clamping mechanism 2, so that the top of the clamping mechanism 2 enters the receiving cavity 4 through the second through hole 7.

[0041] The clamping mechanism 2 includes a first linkage plate 21, a clamping block 22, and a clamping plate 23. The first linkage plate 21 is rotatably connected to the bottom cover 6, and the clamping block 22 is rotatably connected to the cup holder body 1. The clamping block 22 is located between the first linkage plate 21 and the third through hole 8. The clamping plate 23 is rotatably connected to the first linkage plate 21, and a torsion spring is provided between the clamping plate 23 and the first linkage plate 21. When the clamping block moves away from the receiving cavity, one end of the first linkage plate connected to the clamping block moves away from the cup holder body, and the other end of the first linkage plate moves towards the cup holder body, thereby causing the clamping plate to extend into the receiving cavity. The clamping plate and the first linkage plate are rotatably connected by the torsion spring, which can adapt to clamping containers of different sizes.

[0042] The first linkage plate 21 is provided with a fourth through hole 211 for the clamping plate 23 to move. This facilitates the movement of the clamping plate.

[0043] The first linkage plate 21 is provided with a limiting groove 24, and a limiting rod 241 is provided in the limiting groove 24. The cup holder body 1 is provided with a first spring 9 corresponding to the position of the limiting groove 24. This can make the contact between the first linkage plate and the first spring more stable, and prevent the first linkage plate from deviating during the reset process, thus affecting the entry and exit of the clamping plate.

[0044] The bottom cover 6 is provided with a mounting base 62 corresponding to the position of the first linkage plate 21. The first linkage plate 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 62 via a rotating shaft. The mounting base serves to connect the plates, limit the rotation angle of the first linkage plate, and cover the clamping block to protect it.

[0045] The locking mechanism 3 includes a button 31, a second linkage plate 32, and a third linkage plate 33. The button 31 is located at one end of the second linkage plate 32 and extends into the receiving cavity 4. The second linkage plate 32 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the cup holder body 1. One end of the third linkage plate 33 is rotatably connected to the end of the second linkage plate 32. The third linkage plate 33 is slidably connected to the bottom cover 6. The third linkage plate 33 is provided with a fifth through hole 34 for the hook 51 to enter and exit. The hook 51 is hooked onto the third linkage plate 33.

[0046] A first locking block 35 is provided on one side of the fifth through hole 34, and a second spring 36 is provided on the first locking block 35. The other end of the second spring 36 is connected to a second locking block 37 on the bottom cover 6. This allows...

[0047] The third linkage plate 33 is provided with a clearance hole 38, and the second locking block 37 is located within the clearance hole 38. The clearance hole can prevent the second locking block from interfering with the movement of the third linkage plate.

[0048] The cover plate 5 is provided with multiple connecting plates 52, which extend out of the cup holder body 1 through sliding holes 10. Gears 53 are provided on the connecting plates 52, and these gears 53 mesh with a rack 11 on the cup holder body 1. The gears and rack limit the speed of the cover plate's movement, making its movement smoother and preventing liquid from spilling out of the container.

[0049] The reset component is a spring.

[0050] Working Principle: In the initial state, the lid is flush with the top of the cup holder. When a container is placed, the container exerts a downward force on the lid, causing it to move down until the hook passes through the first and fifth through holes and engages with the third linkage plate. At this time, the pressure plate at the bottom of the lid pushes the clamping block out of the receiving cavity. The clamping block then drives the first linkage plate to rotate, allowing part of the clamping plate to pass through the second through hole and enter the receiving cavity, thus clamping the container. When the container is removed, pressing the button drives the second linkage plate to rotate, which in turn drives the third linkage plate to move, causing the hook to disengage from the third linkage plate. Under the action of the reset component, the lid can move upward. During the upward movement of the lid, when the lid disengages from the clamping block, the clamping plate separates from the container under the action of the first spring and exits the receiving cavity, allowing the container to rise with the lid. This achieves linkage between the clamping mechanism and the lid's lifting and lowering, making operation simple and convenient.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
