DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, but are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0054] The cup holder according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the cup holder includes a supporting member 1, which is used to place the bottom of the cup body 9 to support the cup body 9; the cup holder also includes a first clamping mechanism 2, which is used to clamp the side wall of the cup body 9; the cup holder also includes a first driving mechanism 3, which is used to drive the first clamping mechanism 2 and the supporting member 1 to move relative to each other in the axial direction of the cup body 9 to adjust the relative distance between the first clamping mechanism 2 and the supporting member 1; the cup holder also includes a shell 4, which forms a receiving space, and the supporting member 1 is placed in the receiving space.

[0056] Specifically, the cup body 9 includes a water cup, a beverage bottle, a coffee cup, or any other object that can be placed in a cup holder. By providing a first clamping mechanism 2, the cup body 9 can be clamped. When the first clamping mechanism 2 clamps the upper portion of the cup body 9 or near the mouth of the cup body 9, the cup body 9 will be more stable when placed in the cup holder. Due to the different shapes and types of cup bodies 9, the sizes and heights of the cup bodies 9 are different, and the position where the first clamping mechanism 2 clamps the cup body 9 is different. By providing the first clamping mechanism and the supporting member 1, relative movement in the axial direction of the cup body 9 is achieved. When cup bodies 9 of different heights are placed in the cup holder, the first clamping mechanism 2 can be adjusted to clamp the upper portion of the cup body 9 or near the mouth of the cup body 9, so that cup bodies 9 of different heights can be stably placed in the cup holder.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the first clamping mechanism 2 and the supporting member 1 can both move relative to the shell 4, and the first driving mechanism 3 can drive both the first clamping mechanism 2 and the supporting member 1 to move relative to the shell 4; or the first clamping mechanism 2 moves relative to the shell 4, and the supporting member 1 is fixed relative to the shell 4, and the first driving mechanism 3 drives the first holding mechanism to move; or the first clamping mechanism 2 is fixed relative to the shell 4, and the supporting member 1 moves relative to the shell 4, and the first driving mechanism 3 drives the supporting member 1 to move relative to the shell 4.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the first driving mechanism 3 drives the supporting member 1 to move relative to the shell 4, wherein the first driving mechanism 3 includes a first elastic member 30, the first elastic member 30 is a spring, the first end of the first elastic member 30 is connected to the supporting member 1, and the second end of the first elastic member 30 is connected to the shell 4 to drive the relative movement between the supporting member 1 and the shell 4.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, when the cup 9 is placed in the cup holder, that is, after the cup 9 is placed in the accommodating space, the first clamping mechanism 2 is stationary relative to the housing 4, and the bottom of the cup 9 rests on the supporting member 1, thereby exerting downward pressure on the cup 9. At this time, the cup 9 presses the supporting member 1 downward, the first elastic member 30 is compressed, and the cup 9 moves downward until the first clamping mechanism 2 can clamp the mouth of the cup 9 so that the cup 9 can be stably placed in the cup holder. There is a minimum distance between the first clamping mechanism 2 and the supporting member 1. When the height of the cup 9 is less than the first clamping mechanism 2, after the cup 9 is placed in the cup holder, the first clamping mechanism 2 will be placed above the cup 9 to cover the cup 9. Therefore, if the first clamping member 20 is required to clamp all cups 9, the minimum distance between the first clamping member 20 and the supporting member 1 needs to be adjusted so that most cups 9 can be placed in the cup holder and clamped by the first clamping member 20.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first clamping mechanism 2 includes a first clamping member 20 and a second elastic member 21 connected to the first clamping member 20 to enable the first clamping member 20 to move radially along the cup body 9. A plurality of first clamping members 20 are provided, and the plurality of first clamping members 20 are spaced apart along the circumference of the housing 4. The first clamping mechanism 2 also includes a roller 23 connected to the first clamping member 20 and configured to engage with the cup body 9.

[0061] Specifically, the first clamping members 20 are disposed on the housing 4 and spaced apart along the circumference of the housing 4. A second elastic member 21 is connected to multiple first clamping members 20 simultaneously, applying an elastic force directed toward the cup 9. When not placed in the cup holder, the multiple first clamping members 20, under the action of the second elastic member 21, approach the axis of the cup holder housing 4, contacting each other. When the cup 9 is placed, the multiple first clamping members 20, under the pressure of the cup 9, move toward the axis of the cup holder housing 4 and, under the action of the second elastic member 21, cling to the sidewalls of the cup 9, providing a clamping force. The second elastic member 21 can be configured as an elastic cord. Each first clamping member 20 is provided with a groove 501 for accommodating the elastic cord, located on a side away from the central axis of the cup holder housing 4. The first clamping mechanism 2 also includes a roller 23 made of rubber. The roller 23 is arranged on one side of the first clamping member 20 close to the central axis of the cup holder shell 4. When the cup body 9 is placed in the cup holder, the roller 23 adheres to the side wall of the cup body 9 and rolls, thereby making it easier for the cup body 9 to be placed in the cup holder and making the cup body 9 more stable when placed in the cup holder.

[0062] In some other embodiments, the second elastic member 21 can be configured in any other form, as long as it can provide elastic force to the first clamping member 20 so that the first clamping member 20 clamps the cup body 9 under the action of the elastic force.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cup holder further includes a second clamping mechanism 5 for clamping the side wall of the cup body 9 . In the axial direction of the cup body 9 , the second clamping mechanism 5 is located on a side of the first clamping mechanism 2 close to the supporting member 1 .

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the second clamping mechanism 5 is used to clamp the side wall of the cup body 9 close to the bottom of the cup body 9, that is, when the cup mouth of the cup body 9 is placed upward, the second clamping mechanism 5 is located below the first clamping mechanism 2, so that when the cup body 9 is placed in the cup holder, the first clamping mechanism 2 and the second clamping mechanism 5 can clamp the cup body 9 at the same time, making the cup body 9 more stable when placed.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second clamping mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the supporting member 1 .

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the second clamping mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the supporting member 1, so that when the cup body 9 is placed on the supporting member 1, the second clamping mechanism 5 clamps the cup body 9. When the supporting member 1 moves up and down relative to the cup holder shell 4, the second clamping mechanism 5 can also move up and down relative to the cup holder shell 4 together with the supporting member 1. Therefore, as long as the cup body 9 is placed on the supporting member 1, the second clamping mechanism can clamp the side wall of the cup body 9.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the second clamping mechanism 5 further includes: a support seat 50 , the support seat 50 is placed below the supporting member 1 , and the support seat 50 is fixedly connected to the supporting member 1 .

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, a connecting rod 11 is connected between the support base 50 and the supporting member 1. The first end of the connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the supporting member 1, and the other end of the connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the support base 50. The first end of the first elastic member 30 is connected to the support base 50, and the second end of the first elastic member 30 is connected to the shell 4. When the cup body 9 is pressed downward to cause the supporting member 1 to move downward relative to the shell 4, the support base 50 moves downward relative to the shell 4, so that the first elastic member 30 accumulates force, providing an upward elastic force for the support base 50 to support the support base 50 and the supporting member 1, thereby supporting the cup body 9.

[0069] like Figure 13 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the cup holder further includes a locking assembly 7. When the locking assembly 7 is in an unlocked state, the second clamping mechanism 5 can move relative to the housing 4; and / or, when the locking assembly 7 is in a locked state, the second clamping mechanism 5 is stationary relative to the housing 4.

[0070] Specifically, when the cup body 9 presses the supporting member 1 downwardly relative to the housing 4, the support seat 50 moves downwardly, and the first elastic member 30 accumulates force. At this time, the first elastic member 30 exerts an upward elastic force on the support seat 50. At this time, the locking assembly 7 needs to be in a locked state, locking the support seat 50 so that the support seat 50 and the supporting member 1 do not move upward under the elastic force of the first elastic member 30. When the cup body 9 needs to be taken out, the locking member needs to be in an unlocked state, so that the first elastic member 30 exerts an upward elastic force on the support seat 50, causing the support seat 50 and the supporting member 1 to move upward, thereby moving the cup body 9 upward. At this time, the cup body 9 can be taken out of the cup body 9.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the locking assembly 7 includes: a magnetic drive assembly 7060; and also includes a lock tongue 71. The magnetic drive assembly 7060 can drive the lock tongue 71 to move radially along the cup body 9 to put the locking assembly 7 in a locked state or an unlocked state. The support seat 50 is provided with a groove 501 for accommodating the lock tongue 71. When the lock tongue 71 is placed in the groove 501, the locking assembly 7 is in a locked state.

[0072] Specifically, the magnetic drive assembly 7060 includes an electromagnetic mechanism. When powered on, the electromagnetic mechanism is magnetic, and when powered off, the magnetism of the electromagnetic mechanism disappears; the lock tongue 71 is a magnet or ordinary iron material that can be attracted by the electromagnetic mechanism. When the electromagnetic mechanism is magnetic, the lock tongue 71 is attracted by the electromagnetic mechanism in the direction away from the support seat 50. At this time, the lock tongue 71 disengages from the groove 501, and the support seat 50 and the supporting member 1 can move upward relative to the cup holder shell 4 under the action of the first elastic member 30, and the cup body 9 can be easily taken out; a spring is provided between the electromagnetic mechanism and the lock tongue 71, one end of the spring is connected to the electromagnetic mechanism, and the other end is connected to the lock tongue 71. When the electromagnetic structure is not magnetic, the lock tongue 71 moves in the direction close to the support seat 50 under the action of the spring. At this time, the lock tongue 71 is placed in the accommodating groove, and the supporting member 1 and the support seat 50 cannot move upward relative to the cup holder shell 4 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 30. At this time, the cup body 9 can be stably placed in the cup holder. The end of the locking tongue 71 near the support seat 50 is provided with an inclined surface. When the cup body 9 needs to be placed in the cup holder, the cup body 9 is pressed downward, causing the cup body 9 to push the support member 1 downward, thereby moving the support member 1 and the support seat 50 downward. The support seat 50 pushes the inclined surface to move the locking tongue 71 away from the groove 501 of the support seat 50. In this embodiment of the present invention, multiple locking tongues 71 are provided along the axis of the cup holder housing 4. The cup holder housing 4 is provided with multiple through holes corresponding to the multiple locking tongues 71. When the cup body 9, the support member 1, and the support seat 50 move downward to the position of the first locking tongue 71, the first locking tongue 71 is placed in the groove 501. When the cup body 9, the support member 1, and the support seat 50 are further pressed downward, the second locking tongue 71 is placed in the groove 501. If the cup body 9, the support member 1, and the support seat 50 are no longer pressed downward, the second locking tongue 71 is placed in the groove 501, and the cup body 9 is stabilized in this position. The arrangement of multiple locking tongues 71 and multiple through holes allows the cup body 9 to be placed at a specific position in the axial direction of the cup holder shell 4. The number of locking tongues 71 and through holes can be changed as needed so that the cup body 9 can be placed in multiple positions.

[0073] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the second clamping mechanism 5 includes a second clamping member 51 for clamping the cup body 9; a sheave 52 provided with a slide groove 520, and the second clamping member 51 is provided with a protrusion 510 disposed within the slide groove 520. When the sheave 52 rotates, the protrusion 510 slides within the slide groove 520, allowing the second clamping member 51 to move relative to the support base 50 to clamp the cup body 9. There are multiple second clamping members 51, each of which is movably connected to the support base 50. The cup holder also includes a second driving mechanism 6 for driving the second clamping mechanism 5 to clamp or release the cup body 9.

[0074] Specifically, the sheave 52 is disposed between the supporting member 1 and the support seat 50, that is, the supporting member 1 is disposed above the sheave 52, and the support seat 50 is disposed below the sheave 52. When the supporting member 1 and the support seat 50 move up and down along the cup holder housing 4, they drive the sheave 52 and the second clamping member 51 to move up and down together. The protrusion 510 of the second clamping member 51 is placed in the slide groove 520 of the sheave 52. When viewed from above, when the sheave 52 rotates clockwise, the protrusion 510 slides in the slide groove 520 and drives the second clamping member 51 to move toward the cup body 9, that is, Figure 7 Position changed to Figure 8 location, or by Figure 11 Position changed to Figure 12 position, thereby causing the second clamping member 51 to clamp the cup body 9; when the sheave 52 rotates counterclockwise, the protrusion 510 slides in the slide groove 520 and drives the second clamping member 51 to move away from the cup body 9, causing the second clamping member 51 to release the cup body 9. A limit member is provided on the support base 50. The second clamping member 51 is L-shaped. The supporting portion of the L-shaped second clamping member 51 extends along the axial direction of the cup body 9, and the other connecting portion extends along the radial direction of the cup body 9. The connecting portion is inserted into the limit member, so that the second clamping member 51 is restricted by the limit member during movement, thereby preventing it from deviating from the motion trajectory and stably clamping the cup body 9. Multiple second clamping members 51 are provided, spaced apart along the circumference of the cup holder housing 4. This arrangement allows the second clamping members 51 to more stably grip the cup body 9. Each second clamping member 51 is provided with a protrusion 510, each corresponding to a slot 520 on the sheave 52. The number of protrusions 510 and slots 520 is equal. Anti-slip rubber pads are provided at the contact points between the second clamping members 51 and the cup body 9, preventing slippage and ensuring a more secure placement of the cup body 9 in the cup holder.

[0075] In some embodiments, a sensor can be set up to connect with the second clamping mechanism 5. When the sensor detects that the cup body 9 is placed on the support member 1, the sensor sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the second clamping mechanism 5 to work and clamp the cup body 9. Manual operation instructions can also be set to control the second clamping mechanism 5 to work and clamp the cup body 9 according to user needs.

[0076] In some embodiments, a one-touch eject button is provided. When the one-touch eject button is pressed, the electromagnetic mechanism is activated, the locking assembly 7 is in an unlocked state, and the controller controls the second driving mechanism 6 to drive the second clamping mechanism 5 to release the cup body 9. At this time, the cup body 9 is released by the second clamping mechanism 5 and is ejected upward by the elastic force of the first elastic member 30.

[0077] In some other embodiments, a limiting structure is connected to the protrusion 510 of the second clamping member 51, and the limiting structure is further connected to the slide groove 520 of the sheave 52, so that when the sheave 52 and the second clamping member 51 move up and down, the protrusion 510 will not fall out of the slide groove 520. The slide groove 520 on the sheave 52 can be configured according to actual needs to cooperate with the rotation direction to drive the second clamping member 51 to move.

[0078] In some other embodiments, the second clamping member 51 can clamp or not clamp the cup body 9 according to actual needs.

[0079] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cup holder further includes a second drive mechanism 6, which is used to drive the second clamping mechanism 5 to clamp or release the cup body 9. The second drive mechanism 6 includes a drive assembly 60, and a drive rod 61, wherein a first end of the drive rod 61 is connected to the groove wheel 52, and a second end of the drive rod 61 is connected to the drive assembly 60. The drive assembly 60 includes a drive motor 600 and a drive gear 601, wherein a second end of the drive rod 61 is connected to the drive gear 601. The drive gear 601 drives the drive rod 61 to rotate axially under the drive of the drive motor 600.

[0080] Specifically, a hole for passing the drive rod 61 is provided at the center of the support seat 50. After passing through the support seat 50, the drive rod 61 is fixedly connected to the center of the groove wheel 52. The drive motor 600 includes a motor gear. The motor gear and the drive gear 601 are engaged so that the motor drives the drive gear 601 to rotate. When the drive gear 601 rotates, it drives the drive rod 61 to rotate, thereby driving the groove wheel 52 to rotate.

[0081] When the cup holder structure is in use, the cup is manually placed into the cup holder on the supporting member 1 and pressed down, the first elastic member 30 is compressed, and the cup body 9 can be fixed to different positions through the provision of multiple locking mechanisms.

[0082] like Figure 14As shown, according to some other embodiments of the present invention, a locking mechanism is not provided, but a screw mechanism 8 is provided, wherein the screw mechanism 8 includes a screw motor 80, a screw and a screw nut 82, the screw nut 82 cooperates with the screw and is connected to the support base 50, and under the drive of the screw motor 80, the screw 81 is driven by the screw motor 80 to rotate, thereby driving the screw nut 82 to move up and down along the axis direction of the cup holder shell 4, driving the support base 50 to move up and down, thereby driving the second clamping mechanism 5 and the supporting member 1 to move up and down. A sensor is set on the supporting member 1. When the water cup is placed on the supporting member 1, the sensor detects a signal and sends it to the controller. The controller controls the second driving mechanism 6 to drive the second clamping mechanism 5 to clamp the cup body 9, and controls the screw motor 80 to drive the screw nut 82 to move downward, so that the water cup sinks; a one-button lifting button is also set. When the button is pressed, the screw motor 80 is controlled to drive the screw nut 82 to move upward, so that the water cup rises. At this time, the sensor senses that the supporting member 1 has risen to a position where the water cup can be taken out. The controller controls the second driving mechanism 6 to drive the second clamping mechanism 5 to release the cup body 9 and take out the cup body 9.

[0083] In some other embodiments, a waterproof layer, specifically waterproof nylon cloth, or any other waterproof material, is provided within the cup holder's accommodating space. The waterproof layer covers the entire inner surface of the cup holder housing 4. Furthermore, a drainage mechanism is provided at the bottom of the cup holder to drain water leaking from the cup body 9, thereby preventing water from corroding the cup holder's internal components and extending the cup holder's service life.

[0084] In some other embodiments, a cooling device, a heating device, an insulation device, etc. may be further provided in the cup holder to expand the function of the cup holder, make it more diverse, and enhance the user experience.
