[0030] For vehicle passengers, mobile phones have many application scenarios in vehicles, such as navigation, audio and video playback, etc. Therefore, there are certain requirements for mobile phone fixation. However, the existing vehicles generally fix mobile phones by additionally installing mobile phone holders. The additionally installed mobile phone holders not only occupy the space in the vehicle, but also are generally fixed by magnetic attraction, adhesion or clamping at the position of the air outlet of the air conditioner. These fixing structures not only may cause damage to the vehicle body structure, but also may block the view of the passengers or cause safety hazards due to the disengagement of the mobile phone holder caused by sudden braking or other reasons.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The cup holder structure for a vehicle is provided, which utilizes the structure form of the combination of the rotating cup cover and the mobile phone holder, and utilizes the structure space after the opening of the cup cover to set the corresponding accommodation fixing structure for the mobile phone, thereby solving the above problems. Specifically, the cup holder structure for a vehicle 100 includes a cup holder body 10, a cup cover 20 and a clamping jaw 30. The cup holder body 10 is formed with a cup holder space 101 for accommodating cups or other articles. The cup cover 20 is rotationally connected with the cup holder body 10. The cup cover 20 is flipped around the connecting shaft rotationally connected between the cup cover 20 and the cup holder body 10 as the rotation center, so that the cup cover 20 can be switched between the open position and the closed position. When the cup cover 20 is in the open position, the cup holder space 101 is exposed, so that the cup is placed. When the cup cover 20 is in the closed position, the cup holder space 101 is hidden. The clamping jaw 30 is rotationally connected to one side of the cup holder body 10 and is in transmission connection with the cup cover 20. When the cup cover 20 is flipped to the open position, the clamping jaw 30 is rotated under the driving of the cup cover 20, so that one side of the clamping jaw 30 opposite to the cup cover 20 is arranged opposite to the cup cover 20 and forms an accommodation space between the cup cover 20, so as to place the mobile phone. The clamping jaw 20 can fix the mobile phone in the accommodation space.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the cup cover 20 is reversely arranged on the cup body 10, when the cup cover 20 is in the open position, the board surface of the cup cover 20 is in the vertical direction, at this time, the cup cover 20 is used as a mobile phone support, which plays a role in supporting the mobile phone, and the claw 30 is arranged opposite to the board surface of the cup cover 20 to fix the mobile phone; when the cup cover 20 is in the closed position, the board surface of the cup cover 20 is in the horizontal direction. The reversely arranged cup cover 20 is usually a solid plate structure, and this design enables the cup cover 20 to completely reverse when opening and closing, covering or exposing the cup space, and also provides space and convenience for the arrangement of other functions or structures. The reversely arranged design not only effectively protects the cup and the contents from dust, dirt and damage, but also quickly displays and hides when needed, keeping the car interior clean and beautiful. This design usually has a simple and intuitive operation method, and users can easily open or close the cup cover by reversing the plate, making the use more convenient and fast.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the cup cover structure for vehicles further comprises a cover shell 102, which is arranged outside the side of the cup body 10 and the cup cover 20, and a containing cavity 103 is formed between the cover shell 102 and the cup body 10, which is used to accommodate the cup cover 20 and the transmission mechanism between the claw 30 and the cup cover 20. Specifically, when the cup cover 20 is reversed to be in the open position, part of the cup cover 20 is located in the containing cavity 103 to serve as a storage for the cup cover 20. It can be understood that during the reversing process of the cup cover 20 with the connecting shaft between the cup body 10 and the cup cover 20 as the rotation center, interference caused by the reversing of the cup cover 20 needs to be avoided. Therefore, in this embodiment, the cover shell 102 is arranged in an arc shape, and the opening of the arc shape is directed towards the cup body 10, which provides a space for the rotation of the cup cover 20, thereby avoiding interference caused by the reversing of the cup cover 20.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the arc-shaped structure is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 1021 on the side facing the cup body 10, and correspondingly, the end of the cup cover 20 close to the cover shell 102 is provided with a plurality of guide blocks 21, which are located in the guide grooves 1021. When the cup cover 20 is reversed to switch between the open position and the closed position, the guide blocks 21 slide along the guide grooves 1021, that is, under the cooperation of the guide blocks 21 and the guide grooves 1021, the cup cover 20 can slide along the arc surface during the reversing process to ensure the stability of the cup cover 20 during the reversing process.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, in the present embodiment, a groove 1011 is arranged at the top end of the saucer body 10 on one side, specifically, the groove 1011 is arranged at the top end of the saucer body 10 close to the cover 102, when the saucer cover 20 is in the closed position, the claw 30 and the saucer space 101 are hidden, and at this time, the claw 30 is flatly arranged in the groove 1011, so that the claw 30 is flush with the top surface of one side of the saucer space 101, when the saucer cover 20 is in the open position, the claw 30 and the saucer space 101 are exposed, and at this time, the claw 30 is released from the groove 1011, so that it is arranged opposite to the plate surface of the saucer cover 20 to form a containing space for placing and fixing the mobile phone, in the present embodiment, the saucer cover 20 is switched between the open position and the closed position by rotating, when the saucer cover 20 is turned to the open position, the claw 30 is rotated and released under the action of the transmission structure, so that a containing space is formed between the claw 30 and the saucer cover 20 to be used as a mobile phone support to place and fix the mobile phone, the space after the saucer cover 20 is opened is used to design the containing space for the mobile phone, specifically, the claw 30 is arranged opposite to the plate surface of the saucer cover 20 to form a containing space for placing and fixing the mobile phone, the structure and the vehicle body form an overall structure, and the claw 30 will not be separated from the vehicle body due to sudden braking, vibration or other reasons, thereby avoiding the safety hazard caused by the separation of the additional mobile phone support in the traditional structure.

[0036] It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, the claw 30 is in transmission connection with the saucer cover 20 through the transmission mechanism, so that the turning of the claw 30 and the saucer cover 20 forms a linkage structure, when the saucer cover 20 is switched from the closed position to the open position, in the switching process, the turning of the saucer cover 20 releases the claw 30 from the groove 1011 under the linkage of the transmission mechanism, so that the claw 30 is arranged opposite to the plate surface of the saucer cover 20; when the saucer cover 20 is switched from the open position to the closed position, in the switching process, the turning of the saucer cover 20 rotates the claw 30 from the state of being arranged opposite to the plate surface of the saucer cover 20 to the state of being flatly arranged in the groove 1011.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the claw 30 and the cup holder cover 20 are connected by a gear and rack assembly, that is, the claw 30 and the cup holder cover 20 form a linkage mechanism through the gear and rack assembly. Specifically, the gear and rack assembly includes a rack structure 1041, a first gear 1042, and a second gear 1043. The rack structure 1041 is formed at the end of the cup holder cover 20 near the end rotatably connected to the cup holder body 10. The first gear 1042 is formed at the end of the claw 30 rotatably connected to the cup holder body 10. The second gear 1043 is located in the receiving cavity 103 formed between the cover 102 and the cup holder body 10 and is rotatably connected to the cup holder body 10. The second gear 1043 meshes with the rack structure 1041 and the first gear 1042 respectively to form a transmission mechanism. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the rack structure 1041 can be configured as an integrally formed structure with the cup holder cover 20, and the first gear 1042 can be configured as an integrally formed structure with the claw 30.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, since the cup holder cover 20 needs to rotate to achieve flipping, in this embodiment, the rack structure 1041 is an arc-shaped rack formed on the side of the cup holder cover 20 facing the cup holder body 10. During the rotation of the cup holder cover 20, the second gear 1043 always meshes with the rack structure 1041 and the first gear 1042 to ensure that the transmission process is not interrupted, thereby forming a stable linkage mechanism between the pawl 30 and the cup holder cover 20. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the cup holder lid 20 is switched from the closed position to the open position or from the open position to the closed position, during the switching process, the cup holder lid 20 flips over, and since the rack structure 1041 is always engaged with the second gear 1043, it can drive the second gear 1043 to rotate. The second gear 1043 drives the first gear 1042 to rotate. The first gear 1042 is fixedly connected to the pawl 30, so that the pawl 30 is released from the groove 1011 by the drive of the first gear 1042, so that it is set opposite to the plate surface of the cup holder lid 20, or so that the pawl 30 rotates from the state of being set opposite to the plate surface of the cup holder lid 20 to the state of being laid flat in the groove 1011.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention also proposes a vehicle including a cup holder structure for a vehicle as described in any of the above embodiments. To avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.

[0040] This invention proposes a cup holder structure and vehicle for use in vehicles. By rotating the cup holder lid, it can be switched between an open and closed position. When the cup holder lid is flipped to the open position, the pawl is released by the action of the transmission structure, thereby forming an accommodating space between the pawl and the cup holder lid, which can be used as a mobile phone holder to place and fix the mobile phone. When the mobile phone holder or cup holder space is needed, the cup holder space can be exposed by folding the cup holder lid, and the mobile phone holder can be opened at the same time. When the mobile phone holder or cup holder space is not needed, the cup holder space and mobile phone holder can be hidden by folding the cup holder lid, making the interior of the vehicle look cleaner and more refined.

[0041] This invention proposes a cup holder structure and vehicle for use in vehicles. The structure combines a rotating cup holder cover with a mobile phone holder. The cup holder cover not only enables opening and closing but also increases storage space for placing a mobile phone after the cup holder cover is opened. By utilizing the structural space after the cup holder cover is opened, there is no need to set up a separate space for the mobile phone, which is convenient and reliable to use. It also avoids occupying other useful space, reduces costs, and avoids the safety hazards caused by the detachment of an additional mobile phone holder.
