DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0063] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the directional words used, such as "upper, lower, top, and bottom", are defined according to the use direction of the cup holder assembly. Specifically, the direction of the tray close to the mouth of the cup tube is defined as upper and top, and the opposite directions are lower and bottom. It can be understood that the placement direction of the cup holder assembly in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the vertical direction, but can also be the horizontal direction or other directions that are angled with the horizontal direction. "Inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside of the corresponding parts, and "first, second", etc. are used to distinguish one element from another, and do not have order and importance.

[0064] Reference Figures 1 to 4, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cup holder assembly, including a cup barrel 10, a tray 20, an electronic component 30 and a wiring harness 40. The cup barrel 10 is configured as a circumferential surrounding structure for accommodating a cup body. The tray 20 is movably disposed in the cup barrel 10, for example, it can move along the extension direction of the cup barrel 10. The cup body can be placed on the tray 20 to extend into or out of the barrel mouth of the cup barrel 10. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cup holder assembly is described as being placed vertically as an example, but it should be understood that the placement direction is provided as an exemplary but non-restrictive description. For example, when a water bottle or a water cup is placed on the tray 20, the tray 20 can be lowered to completely accommodate the water bottle or water cup in the cup barrel 10 so as not to interfere with driving. When the water bottle or water cup needs to be taken, the tray 20 can be raised to allow the water bottle or water cup to leak out. Among them, the way of lifting and lowering the tray 20 along the cup tube 10 is the common knowledge of lifting cup holders in the art, such as setting a stepless damper, manually pressing down the cup body to realize the lowering of the tray 20, and locking the position through the stepless damper, and the lock can be unlocked by pressing the button on the cup holder assembly when rising. The main concept of the present disclosure is not this, so the present disclosure will not elaborate on this.

[0065] At present, many cup holders have other functions besides lifting function, such as heating and cooling, wireless charging and ambient lighting. The electronic components on the trays to realize these functions need to be connected to the wiring harness of the power supply end (such as the vehicle) for power supply. During the lifting process of the tray, the wiring harness may be piled up and entangled, or even damaged, thus affecting the lifting functionality of the cup holder.

[0066] To solve the above problems, in the embodiment provided by the present disclosure, an electronic component 30 is connected to the tray 20 to realize other suitable additional functions, and a wiring harness 40 is connected to the electronic component 30 to supply power to the electronic component 30, and the other end of the wiring harness 40 can be connected to the power supply end 200. The wiring harness 40 can be configured to extend in a predetermined manner or retract in a predetermined manner as the tray 20 moves. For example, when the wiring harness 40 is at the top, the wiring harness 40 can be gradually extended when the tray 20 descends, and the wiring harness 40 can be gradually retracted when the tray 20 rises; when the wiring harness 40 is at the bottom, the wiring harness 40 can be extended when the tray 20 rises, presenting a Fig.11 and Fig.12 The state can make the harness 40 be recovered when the tray 20 rises, showing Fig.10 and Fig.13 or Fig.14The wire harness 40 can be in one of the extended and retracted states according to the movement state of the tray 20, thereby changing the state to adapt to the movement of the tray 20 and ensuring the regularity of the wire harness 40. Here, the wire harness 40 extending or retracting in a predetermined manner means that the wire harness 40 will not be extended or retracted in a disorderly manner, but will be retracted to a desired state according to a predetermined manner, thereby avoiding entanglement of the wire harness 40.

[0067] Through the above technical solution, when the electronic components 30 are arranged on the liftable tray 20, the wiring harness 40 connected to the electronic components 30 can be stretched out or recovered in a predetermined manner according to the movement of the tray 20, so that the wiring harness 40 can adapt to the position of the tray and show a matching length, thereby avoiding the entanglement of the wiring harness 40 and ensuring the safety and reliability of the wiring harness 40 when in use.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 1 and Fig.14 The wire harness 40 can be configured to extend when the tray 20 rises and retract when the tray 20 falls, that is, in the embodiment where the cup holder assembly is arranged vertically, the wire harness 40 extends when the tray 20 is vertically upward, and retracts when the tray 20 is vertically descended, so as to avoid the wire harness 40 shaking and hitting to produce abnormal noise or wire clamping. It can be understood that the rise and fall here are defined according to the positional relationship between the cup tube and the tray, and are not limited to the cup holder assembly being placed vertically. For example, it can also be tilted, and the direction in which the tray 20 provides the cup body from the cup tube to the user is defined as the rising direction, and the opposite is the reverse direction.

[0069] Reference Figure 1 and Fig.14 , the harness 40 can be configured to be recovered under the cup tube 10 in a predetermined manner. In this case, the harness 40 is arranged under the cup tube 40 to avoid occupying the upper space, so that the occupied space can be reduced as much as possible at the end close to the user, ensuring that the user has sufficient operating space. In the following, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments described will all be based on the harness 40 being arranged under the cup tube 10, the harness 40 being pulled to stretch when the tray 20 rises, and the harness 40 being recovered when the tray 20 descends, but it should be understood that this method is an exemplary description rather than a restrictive description.

[0070] Accordingly, the wire harness 40 can be configured to be installed in a predetermined manner and extend upwardly from the cup tube 10. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the extension in a predetermined manner can be achieved by installing a structure that allows the wire harness 40 to be retracted in a predetermined manner. For example, when there is a winding device as described below or the wire harness 40 is partially constructed as a spring wire, the winding device 50 and the spring wire will restrict the wire harness during the extension process of the wire harness, thereby controlling the extension of the wire harness 40 to be achieved in a predetermined manner. In other embodiments, a device for controlling the extension of the wire harness 40 in a predetermined manner can also be provided to achieve the effect.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the wire harness 40 can extend from the bottom of the cup holder assembly into the cup tube 10. That is, the hole for the wire harness 40 to pass through is opened on the bottom of the cup holder assembly, so that foreign matter can be prevented from entering the cup holder assembly from the hole and affecting its use.

[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup holder assembly may include a bottom cover 60 , which is sealed at the bottom end of the cup tube 10 . The wire harness 40 may be inserted into the cup tube 10 from below the bottom cover 60 to be connected to the tray 20 located above the bottom cover 60 .

[0073] The bottom cover 60 may be provided with a via structure for the wire harness 40 to pass through. The opening area of ​​the via structure may be larger than the outer contour of the wire harness 40 to prevent the wire harness 40 from getting stuck on the edge of the via structure during movement and affecting its service life.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cup holder assembly may include a first return structure, and the recovery of the wire harness 40 may be achieved through the first return structure. The first return structure is configured to recover the wire harness in a predetermined manner. For example, in the embodiment in which the wire harness 40 is arranged below as described above, the wire harness 40 may be recovered in a predetermined manner when the tray 20 is lowered.

[0075] Specifically, the first return structure can be an electric drive mechanism, and when receiving a signal that the tray 20 is lowered, the electric drive mechanism drives the wire harness 40 to be recovered in a predetermined manner. In one embodiment, the first return structure can be configured to store force or exert force as the tray 20 moves, and can drive the wire harness 40 to be recovered in a predetermined manner. For example, when the wire harness 40 is at the top, the first return structure can store force when the tray 20 descends and drives the wire harness 40 to extend, and exert force to drive the wire harness 40 to recover when the tray 20 rises; when the wire harness 40 is at the bottom, the first return structure can store force when the tray 20 rises and drives the wire harness 40 to extend, and exert force to drive the wire harness 40 to recover when the tray 20 descends. In summary, in one embodiment, the first return structure can store force when the wire harness 40 is extended, and then the wire harness 40 can be retracted by the force exerted by the first return structure, and the force exertion process can occur when the tray 20 no longer exerts a pulling force on the wire harness 40.

[0076] There are many ways to recycle the wire harness 40. In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cup holder assembly may include a wire reel 50, which may be connected to the wire harness 40 to reel in or unreel the wire harness 40 according to the movement of the tray 20. In this embodiment, the wire harness 40 may be recovered by winding.

[0077] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the winding device 50 may include a reel 51, which is configured to be rotatable so as to be able to reel or unreel the wire harness 40. For example, when the tray 20 moves upward, the reel 51 will rotate to unreel the wire harness 40 and stretch it, and when the tray 20 moves downward, the reel 51 will rotate in the opposite direction to reel the wire harness 40 and recycle it.

[0078] The wire winding device 50 may further include an end cover 52 , and the winding shaft 51 is rotatably disposed on the end cover 52 . The end cover 52 may provide a mounting base for the winding shaft 51 to allow the winding shaft 51 to rotate.

[0079] The number of the end covers 52 may be two, and the reel 51 may be rotatably disposed between the two end covers 52, so that when the reel 51 rotates, both ends may be supported, thereby ensuring reliable and stable rotation.

[0080] The rotation of the reel 51 in the winding device 50 when retrieving the wire harness 40 can be driven by a motor. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to simplify control and save costs, and in order to have a faster response speed, the winding device 50 may include an elastic member 53, which is connected between the end cover 52 and the reel 51, and stores or exerts force as the shaft rotates. The rotation of the reel 51 when retrieving the wire harness 40 can be achieved by the elastic reset force of the elastic member 53. When the tray 20 moves upward, the wire harness 40 connected to the tray 20 will be unwound, and the reel 51 will rotate relative to the end cover 52. At this time, the elastic member 53 will store force driven by the rotation of the reel 51; when the tray 20 moves downward, the wire harness 40 connected to the tray 20 will no longer be pulled by the tray 20. At this time, the elastic member 53 will exert force to drive the reel 51 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby reversely rewinding the wire harness 40, so that the wire harness 40 is wound around the reel 51 again.

[0081] To ensure smooth rotation of the reel 51 , elastic members 53 may be provided at both ends of the reel 51 , and the elastic members 53 at both ends are respectively connected between the two ends of the reel 51 and the corresponding end covers 52 .

[0082] Among them, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the elastic member 53 may be a first coil spring. When the wire harness 40 is unwound, the first coil spring is wound into a tightened state, and when the wire harness 40 is wound, the first coil spring is wound into a relaxed state, that is, as the first coil spring exerts force from the tightened state to the relaxed state, the wire harness 40 can be wound onto the reel 51. It can be understood that the free state of the first coil spring is a wound and relaxed state. When the wire harness 40 is unwound, the first coil spring becomes wound and tightened. At this time, the first coil spring is in a force storage state. When the tray 20 no longer applies tension, the first coil spring will return itself to the wound and relaxed state by exerting force. In this process, the wire harness 40 can be driven to be rewound onto the reel 51.

[0083] Reference Fig. 9 As shown, the first coil spring has an inner extension end 531 and an outer extension end 532. The inner extension end 531 is formed by extending from the radial inner end of the first coil spring, and the outer extension end 532 is formed by extending from the radial outer end of the first coil spring. A first notch 520 may be formed on the end cover 52 to allow the outer extension end 531 to be inserted along the axial direction of the first coil spring, so that the end cover 52 and the outer extension end 531 are connected in a circumferentially limited manner, that is, there is no relative displacement in the circumferential direction between the two. Fig. 9 and Fig.15As shown, the first notch 520 can be constructed to be formed by being axially concave from the end of the reel 51 and then concave along the circumference of the reel 51. A second notch 510 can be formed at the end of the reel 51 for the inner extension end 531 to be inserted axially into the first coil spring, so that the reel 51 and the inner extension end 531 can be connected in a circumferentially limited manner, that is, there will be no relative displacement between the two in the circumferential direction. The second notch 510 can be formed by being concave outward from the inner side of the circumferential wall of the end cover 52. Figure 8 As shown, a protrusion may be formed in the middle area of ​​the end cover 52, and the first coil spring and the reel 51 may be sleeved on the outer periphery of the protrusion to rotate with the protrusion. When the reel 51 rotates, the inner extension end 531 moves with the reel 51, while the outer extension end 531 and the end cover 52 remain stationary, and the first coil spring is relaxed or tightened according to the rotation direction of the inner extension end 531.

[0084] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 A hook 511 may be formed on the reel 51, and the wire harness 40 may be connected to the reel 51 by hooking on the hook 511. The hooking form is convenient for installation and replacement, and the structure is simple and easy to implement. In other embodiments, a clamp clamping method may also be provided to connect the wire harness 40 to the reel 51.

[0085] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 , the wire harness 40 can be wound around the axis of the reel 51 from the hook 511 to both sides of the reel 51. Fig.10 For example, after the wire harness 40 is hung on the hook 511, the wire harnesses 40 on both sides of the hook 511 will be wound upward and then perpendicular to the plane of the figure, gradually winding to the two ends of the reel 51. When the reel 51 rotates, the wire harnesses 40 on both sides will also be unwound or reeled synchronously.

[0086] In the axial direction of the reel 51, the hook 511 can be arranged to be located in the middle of the reel 51, so that the lengths of the wire harnesses wound on both sides are consistent, avoiding the situation where the wire harness cannot be reeled or unreeled due to asymmetry.

[0087] Among them, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Fig.10 and Fig.11The wire harness 40 may include a first lead-out terminal 41 and a second lead-out terminal 42. The first lead-out terminal 41 and the second lead-out terminal 42 are located on both sides of the hook 511 and can be retracted and released synchronously. The first lead-out terminal 41 is electrically connected to the electronic component 30 to provide power to the electronic component 30. The second lead-out terminal 42 can be connected to the power supply terminal 200, so as to provide power to the electronic component 30 through the power supply terminal 200. The power supply terminal 200 here can be somewhere in the vehicle circuit. The wire harness connected to the power supply terminal 200 and the electronic component 30 can be wound on the reel 51 and rotate synchronously.

[0088] The first lead-out end 41 and the second lead-out end 42 can both be connected to the tray 20, so that the wire harnesses 40 on both sides can be synchronously raised and lowered together with the tray 20 to prevent entanglement, so that the wire harnesses 40 can be integrated.

[0089] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the tray 20 may partially extend radially out of the cup barrel 10, the first lead-out end 41 is connected to the portion of the tray 20 located inside the cup barrel 10, and the second lead-out end 42 is connected to the portion of the tray 20 extending outside the cup barrel 10, so that the wire harness 40 inside and outside the cup barrel 10 is connected to the tray 20 to prevent the wire harness 40 from hitting other structures to produce abnormal noise or wire clamping. The portion of the tray 20 extending out of the cup barrel 10 may be provided with a connecting piece, and the second lead-out end 42 may be connected to the connecting piece, or a clamp may be provided on the tray 20, and the second lead-out end 42 may be connected to the tray 20 through the clamp.

[0090] In addition, if Figure 8 As shown, the wire winding device 50 may include a housing 54, which may be sleeved on the outer periphery of the reel 51 and coaxially arranged with the reel 51. The wire harness 40 may pass through the housing 54 to be retracted and released through the housing 54. A through hole may be provided on the housing to allow the wire harness 40 to pass through the housing 54. The housing 54 may also be used to attach other components, such as a vehicle wiring harness.

[0091] Reference Figure 8 As shown, the wire winding device may further include an end cover 52, a housing 54 may be connected to the end cover 52, and the reel 51 may be rotatably accommodated in a cavity surrounded by the housing and the end cover to protect the reel 51 and the wire harness 40 wound thereon.

[0092] There may be two end covers 52 , which are disposed at both ends of the housing 54 to enclose a cavity and provide all-round protection for the reel 51 .

[0093] The wire winding device 50 can be connected to the bottom cover 60 , and specifically can be connected to the bottom of the bottom cover 60 , so that the cup holder assembly is more integrated as a whole and can avoid other structures.

[0094] like Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, a clamping member 61 may be provided on the bottom cover 60, and the wire winding device 50 may be clamped on the clamping member 61 for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0095] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the wire harness 40 can be stretched or retracted by constructing at least a portion of the wire harness 40 to be elastically retractable, so that the wire harness 40 is retracted to its initial state as a spring wire under the action of elastic force, that is, this portion of the wire harness 40 itself serves as the first return structure mentioned above.

[0096] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the wire harness 40 may be configured as a spring wire to be elastically retractable. Fig.14 As shown, the spring wire is in a free recovery state. When the tray 20 gradually rises, the spring wire gradually transitions to Fig.13 The semi-extended state shown until reaching Fig.12 The fully extended state is shown. The spring wire can be set to be harder so that it is less likely to be affected by the shaking of the whole vehicle during the extension process and hit other structures to produce abnormal noise or shaking and entanglement.

[0097] In the disclosed embodiment, the cup holder assembly may include a second return structure, which is connected between the tray 20 and the cup tube 10 and is configured to store or exert force according to the movement of the tray 20, and to drive the tray 20 to move when exerting force. When the tray 20 is lowered under the external force of the user, the second return structure stores force, and when it is necessary to return, after the button is pressed to unlock in the manner described above, the second return structure exerts force to raise the tray 20. In other embodiments, the second return structure may also be configured to store force when the tray 20 is raised according to actual needs, and the tray 20 may be lowered by exerting force.

[0098] The second return structure can be connected between the top of the cup sleeve 10 and the tray 20 so as not to affect the normal movement of the tray 20. Specifically, the position where the second return structure is connected to the cup sleeve 10 can be set to be higher than the highest point of the movement of the tray 20 so as not to affect the operation of the tray 20.

[0099] like Figure 2 As shown, the second return structure may include a second coil spring 71, and the second coil spring 71 is telescopically connected between the cup sleeve 10 and the tray 20. Figures 4 to 7 One end of the second coil spring 71 can be connected to the cup tube 10 through the rotating shaft 711, and the other end can be connected to the tray 20, wherein Figure 4 Shown are views of the tray 20 in both the top and bottom positions. Figure 6 As shown, when the tray 20 descends, the second coil spring 71 is unfolded downward. Figure 5As shown, when it is necessary to return to the original position, the second coil spring 71 returns to the initial coiled state to drive the tray 20 to rise and return to the original position. Compared with the compression spring solution, the coil spring can prevent the wire harness from being entangled with it, and also avoid the wire harness from colliding with it to produce abnormal noise or wire clamping. In addition, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the bottom is hollowed out for the wire harness 40 to pass through, the bottom strength is difficult to ensure the effect of the compression spring below it. Therefore, by setting the coil spring on the side, this problem can be effectively avoided.

[0100] To ensure smooth return and uniform force, refer to Figure 4 As shown, a second coil spring 71 may be provided on the opposite side of the tray 20. Alternatively, a plurality of second coil springs 71 may be evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the tray 20.

[0101] In the disclosed embodiment, the cup holder assembly may further include a transmission guide structure 80 , and the tray 20 is lifted and lowered in the cup tube 10 via the transmission guide structure 80 .

[0102] The transmission guide structure 80 may include guide ribs formed on the cup tube 10, and the tray 20 may be provided with a slider that slidably cooperates with the guide ribs. The guide ribs may be formed on the outside of the cup tube 10, and the slider may extend from the cup tube 10 to slidably cooperate with the guide ribs. There are many specific implementation methods of the transmission guide structure 80, which are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0103] As an exemplary but not limiting description, the electronic component 30 may include a light emitting component. Of course, it is understandable that the electronic component 30 may also include an audio element, a charging element, or a heating and cooling element.

[0104] According to a second aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure, a vehicle is provided, including the above cup holder assembly, and having all the beneficial effects of the above cup holder assembly, which will not be described in detail here. The power supply end 200 can be a wiring harness of the entire vehicle.

[0105] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0106] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0107] In addition, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
