[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an adjustable and movable cup holder mechanism for a car includes a base 1, and two groups of symmetrically arranged rotating clamping parts are arranged on the lower side of the base 1, and the cup body is limited and placed by the two groups of rotating clamping parts; two groups of symmetrical limiting parts are arranged on the lower side of the base 1, and the rotating clamping parts are slidably arranged in the limiting parts, and two groups of symmetrically arranged elastic adjustment parts are also arranged on the lower side of the base 1, each group of elastic adjustment parts is located on the outer side of the rotating clamping parts, and the convex part of the elastic adjustment parts abuts against the outer side of the rotating clamping parts, so that the inward squeezing force always acts on the elastic adjustment parts; when the inner side end of the elastic adjustment part is subjected to an outward thrust, and the outward thrust is greater than the inward squeezing force, the convex feature of the elastic adjustment part is deformed, and the rotating clamping part moves outward at the same time.

[0024] The cup body is elastically limited and placed by two groups of rotating clamping parts; two groups of symmetrical limiting parts are arranged on the lower side of the base, and the horizontal sliding structure of the rotating clamping part is installed in the limiting part. Two groups of symmetrical elastic adjustment parts are also arranged on the lower side of the base, which are used to freely control the adjustment of different cup shapes and sizes. Each group of elastic adjustment parts is located on the outer side of the rotating clamping part, and the raised part of the elastic adjustment part abuts against the outer side of the rotating clamping part, so that the inward squeezing force is always applied to the elastic adjustment part, so as to keep the rotating clamping part from moving arbitrarily in a static and normal use state; or to deform in the extreme use state of extraction, so that the rotating clamping part can undergo the required forward and backward displacement in the limiting part. When used in the extreme state of extraction, the inner end of the elastic adjustment component is subjected to an outward thrust on the rotating engaging component when the cup holder is extracted, and the outward thrust is greater than the inward squeezing force designed in the elastic adjustment design state. At this time, the elastic adjustment component is squeezed and physically deformed, and the rotating engaging component moves horizontally along the inner groove of the limiting portion to the displacement required for the maximum size of the cup; when the cup holder gradually separates from the engaging component or the outermost size of the cup is gradually reduced, the squeezing force of the elastic adjustment component decreases and rebounds to the design state, and the rotating engaging component moves horizontally in the opposite direction along the inner groove of the limiting portion, and the cup holder will not get stuck.

[0025] In this embodiment, by setting the rotating clamping component, the cup body can be adapted to the cup body without being affected when being inserted; by setting the elastic adjustment component, the position of the rotating clamping component can be maintained at the same position for a long time, but if there is an external force, the position of the rotating clamping component will move, so as to adapt to cup bodies with different diameters and cup bodies with special-shaped outer walls.

[0026] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a circular hole for placing the cup body is opened on the base 1, and the lower edge of the circular hole has two oppositely arranged arc plates 100, and a slot is provided between the two arc plates, and the inner end of the rotating locking part extends into the inside of the circular hole through the slot.

[0027] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the limiting portion includes two symmetrically arranged fixed limiting blocks 101, a sliding groove is opened in the middle of the fixed limiting blocks 101, the outer end of the sliding groove is open, the rotating locking component is slidably arranged in two parallel sliding grooves, and the raised part of the elastic adjustment component is located in the sliding groove.

[0028] In this embodiment, the sliding groove is provided to limit the displacement direction of the rotating engaging component so that it can only move in the direction of the sliding groove track.

[0029] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the rotating engaging component includes a claw 2, and the outer ends of both sides of the claw 2 have a rotating shaft 200 extending outward, and the outer end of the rotating shaft 200 is fixed with a socket 201. The claw 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft 200 as the rotation center, and the inner end of the claw 2 is an arc structure that is recessed inward; the rotating shaft 200 is located in the slide groove, and the socket 201 is located on the outside of the fixed limit block 101.

[0030] In this embodiment, both sides of the clamping claw 2 are respectively close to the inner end surfaces of the corresponding fixed limiting block 101 , with a gap therebetween, so that the fixed limiting block 101 will not affect the rotation of the clamping claw 2 .

[0031] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the elastic adjustment component includes a first mounting seat 102 and two second mounting seats 103 fixed to the lower side of the base 1, and the two second mounting seats 103 are located on both sides of the first mounting seat 102. The first mounting seat 102 and the two second mounting seats 103 are provided with a spring sheet 3, and the spring sheet 3 is formed by bending to form a protruding portion, and the protruding portion is located in the slide groove and abuts against the outer side of the rotating locking component.

[0032] In this embodiment, rectangular grooves are provided on the upper sides of the first mounting seat 102 and the two second mounting seats 103, and the spring sheet 3 is clamped and installed in the rectangular grooves; the height of the sliding groove of the fixed limit block 101 is greater than the width of the spring sheet 3, so that the fixed limit block 101 will not interfere with the spring sheet 3.

[0033] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the base 201 has a cylinder inside, and a torsion spring 4 is installed on the cylinder. One end of the torsion spring 4 is fixed on the base 201, and the other end extends to the outside of the base 201 and abuts against the upper step groove of the fixed limit block 101.
