Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of automobile interior decoration structures, and more particularly to a hidden flip-type cup holder structure. Background Art

[0002] The cup holder is one of the most common configurations in car interiors. It is usually installed on the auxiliary dashboard between the driver's seat and the co-driver's seat. Its main function is to place cups or other objects. The design of the cup holder can meet the need for storage and also play a certain role in beautification and decoration.

[0003] There are three common cup holder structures on the auxiliary instrument panel in the current automobile market:

[0004] 1. Open cup holders are usually independent two-hole water cups or are limited by space. The cup holders are connected. The advantages are simple structure and low cost. The disadvantages are that the shape is affected and it is not beautiful. The bottom of the cup holder is easy to hide dirt.

[0005] 2. Closed covered cup holder, the lid is in the form of push-on flip type and roller shutter type. The advantage is beautiful shape. The lid and roller shutter can present different effects according to the shape requirements, such as piano paint, diaphragm decoration, etc. The disadvantage is high cost, high space requirements and complex structure.

[0006] 3. Hidden lifting cup holder, the cup holder is an independent functional part, arranged on the auxiliary instrument panel, and is kept flush with the surrounding parts when not in use. When in use, it has the same function as a regular cup holder. However, it is difficult to arrange it on a specific surface or under large space restrictions; and the strength is weak, the cup holder is not deep enough, and cannot reliably fix the cup, nor can it be compatible with cups of different sizes.

[0038] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0039] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.

[0040] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0041] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0042] according to Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present invention provides a hidden flip-up cup holder structure, including a shell 1, a decorative plate 2 and a cup holder body 3.

[0043] The housing 1 has a cavity inside, and a group of through holes are opened on the two side walls of the cavity;

[0044] The decorative plate 2 is arranged at the opening of the cavity, and a window is provided on the decorative plate 2. It is used to cover the internal structure, and integrates a USB interface and a 12V power supply structure, and can present different surface treatments through spray painting to match interiors of different styles.

[0045] A set of rotating shafts 5 are provided on the rear side of the cup holder body 3. The rotating shafts 5 pass through the window and are rotatably connected in the through hole. The cup holder body 3 can be flipped from the window with the rotating shafts 5 as the center. A locking mechanism 7 is provided at the bottom of the cup holder body 3 in the shell 1. The locking mechanism 7 cooperates with the cup holder body 3 to make the cup holder body 3 snap into the cavity and close the window.

[0046] When the user is not using it, Figure 1 As shown, the appearance is relatively neat, and when in use, the locking mechanism 7 can be pressed to open, such as Figure 2 As shown, a cup can be placed, and cups of different sizes can be accommodated.

[0047] Furthermore, if Figure 8 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking mechanism 7 is installed in the middle of the cup holder body 3 to realize the functions of pressing to open and locking. It mainly includes a lock seat 71, a lock hook 73 and a lock tongue 72; the lock seat 71 is arranged in the housing 1 and is located below the cup holder body 3, the lock hook 73 is connected to the bottom of the cup holder body 3, the lock tongue 72 is connected to the lock seat 71 through a pin, and the buckling end of the lock tongue 72 is buckled with the lock hook 73, and the pressing end is used to unlock the buckling between the lock tongue 72 and the lock hook 73.

[0048] Furthermore, the return spring 74 abuts against the pressing end of the lock tongue 72. The return spring 74 makes the locking end of the lock tongue 72 always lock with the lock hook 73. Only when the pressing end is subjected to external force, the lock tongue 72 no longer locks with the lock hook 73, so that the locking mechanism 7 no longer restricts the cup holder body 3, and the cup holder body 3 can be flipped out of the window.

[0049] Furthermore, a group of guide rods are provided at the upper rear end of the cup holder body 3, arc grooves are provided on the two side walls of the cavity, the center of the arc grooves is located at the through hole, and the guide rods are embedded in the arc grooves. During implementation, the motion trajectory of the cup holder body 3 is guided and restricted by the guide rods to ensure the flatness of the cup holder body 3.

[0050] Furthermore, if Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, a cup holder baffle 4 is further provided on the rear side of the cup holder body 3, and the width of the cup holder baffle 4 is greater than the width of the window. In practice, when the cup holder is opened, the internal structure is shielded to ensure a neat appearance during use. At the same time, the cup holder body 3 is always kept in a horizontal state by the width difference between the cup holder baffle 4 and the decorative panel 2.

[0051] Furthermore, two groups of connecting rods are provided on the cup holder baffle 4, and the two groups of connecting rods are connected to the rear side of the cup holder body 3 by screws. A limit torsion spring 8 is also provided at the connection between the connecting rod and the cup holder body 3, and the initial state of the limit torsion spring 8 makes the cup holder baffle 4 and the decorative plate 2 always abut against each other. When the cup holder is opened, the baffle can be closely attached to the back of the decorative plate 2 to avoid abnormal noise in bumpy road conditions.

[0052] Furthermore, a self-resetting torsion spring is provided on the portion of the rotating shaft 5 outside the housing 1, and the initial state of the self-resetting torsion spring enables the cup holder body 3 to flip out of the window. As mentioned above, the cup holder body 3 and the housing 1 are connected via a locking mechanism 7. In the unlocked state, the present invention provides a flipping force to the cup holder body 3 via the self-resetting torsion spring on the rotating shaft 5, so that the cup holder body 3 can automatically flip out of the window, making it more convenient to use.

[0053] Furthermore, the shell 1 is further provided with a reduction gear 6 beside the rotating shaft 5, and the rotating shaft 5 is provided with gear teeth. The rotating shaft 5 is meshed with the reduction gear 6 through the gear teeth to reduce the flipping rate of the cup holder body 3, so that the cup holder flips more smoothly during the process, and prevents the cup holder body 3 from suddenly flipping and causing damage to personnel.

[0054] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of example, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments may be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
