Detailed Implementation
[0027] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the car flip cover assembly of this embodiment includes a fixed bracket assembly 1, a cover assembly 2, and a cup holder assembly 3. The fixed bracket assembly 1 includes a bracket body 11, and the cover assembly 2 includes an outer cover 21. The outer cover 21 is rotatably disposed on the bracket body 11 and has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the outer cover 21 is substantially in contact with the bracket body 11. In the second position, the outer cover 21 is substantially horizontally disposed. The cup holder assembly 3 includes a cup holder body 31, which is rotatably disposed on the bracket body 11 and disposed between the bracket body 11 and the outer cover 21. The cup holder body 31 is provided with a limiting hole 311 for placing a cup. The cup holder body 31 has a third position and a fourth position. In the third position, the cup holder body 31 is substantially vertically disposed. In the fourth position, the cup holder body 31 is substantially horizontally disposed and located above the outer cover 21.
[0029] When in use, the outer cover 21 of the car flip cover assembly of this embodiment can be rotated toward the support body 11 to position the outer cover 21 in the first position. During the rotation, the outer cover 21 drives the cup holder body 31 to move toward the support body 11 until the cup holder body 31 rotates to the third position, thereby closing the car flip cover assembly. When opening the car flip cover assembly, the outer cover 21 can be rotated to the second position, and the cup holder body 31 can rotate to the fourth position under the action of gravity. At this time, the cup holder body 31 and the outer cover 21 are set in a roughly parallel state. By placing the cup in the limiting hole 311 of the cup holder body 31, the base of the cup contacts the outer cover 21, thereby realizing the placement and fixation of the cup.
[0030] The car flip cover assembly of this invention, by setting an outer cover plate 21 and a cup holder body 31 that are rotatably engaged with the bracket body 11, can rotate the outer cover plate 21 to a first position and the cup holder body 31 to a third position to close the flip cover assembly, saving interior space and improving driving comfort. It can also rotate the outer cover plate 21 to a second position and the cup holder body 31 to a fourth position to open the flip cover assembly. The second position of the outer cover plate 21 provides support for the cup, and the fourth position of the cup holder body 31 provides a limit for the cup, so as to place and fix the cup on the outer cover plate 21, thereby improving the ease of use of the flip cover assembly and passenger comfort.
[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bracket body 11 is provided with a first magnet 12, and the cup holder body 31 is provided with a second magnet 32 corresponding to the first magnet 12. The second magnet 32 is used to magnetically cooperate with the first magnet 12 when the cup holder body 31 is in the third position. By setting the first magnet 12 and the second magnet 32, when the cup holder body 31 is in the third position, the cup holder body 31 is easily positioned under the magnetic cooperation of the first magnet 12 and the second magnet 32, which improves the stability of the cup holder body 31 during the car's movement, reduces or avoids noise caused by shaking and impact, and improves driving comfort.
[0032] Optionally, the first magnet 12 and the second magnet 32 are the same and have a repulsive force; or, the first magnet 12 and the second magnet 32 are opposite and have an attractive force.
[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a third magnet 33 is provided on the cup holder body 31, and a fourth magnet 22 is provided on the outer cover plate 21 corresponding to the third magnet 33. The fourth magnet 22 is used to magnetically cooperate with the third magnet 33 when the outer cover plate 21 is in the first position. By setting the third magnet 33 and the fourth magnet 22, when the outer cover plate 21 is in the first position, the cup holder body 31 is easily positioned under the magnetic cooperation of the third magnet 33 and the fourth magnet 22, which improves the stability of the cup holder body 31 during the car's movement, reduces or avoids noise caused by shaking and impact, and improves driving comfort.
[0034] Optionally, the third magnet 33 and the fourth magnet 22 are the same and have a repulsive force; or, the third magnet 33 and the fourth magnet 22 are opposite and have an attractive force.
[0035] In some embodiments, the first magnet 12 and the second magnet 32 have opposite magnetic properties, and the third magnet 33 and the fourth magnet 22 have opposite magnetic properties. When the outer cover plate 21 is in the first position and the cup holder body 31 is in the third position, the first magnet 12 attracts the second magnet 32, and the third magnet 33 attracts the fourth magnet 22. This helps to limit the cup holder body 31 between the outer cover plate 21 and the bracket body 11, reducing the shaking of the cup holder body 31 during vehicle operation and reducing or avoiding noise caused by shaking and impact. At the same time, when the outer cover plate 21 is opened, the fourth magnet 22 on the outer cover plate 21 can drive the cup holder body 31 to rotate through the third magnet 33, making it easy for the cup holder body 31 to rotate to the fourth position, which is convenient to operate.
[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate assembly 2 includes a first rotating plate 23 in the shape of a gooseneck. One end of the first rotating plate 23 is fixedly connected to the outer cover plate 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bracket body 11 through the first rotating shaft 24. By setting the first rotating plate 23, it is easy to hide the first rotating shaft 24, avoiding the first rotating shaft 24 from being exposed on the side of the bracket body 11 near the outer cover plate 21. It has a high aesthetic appeal, a simple structure, and is easy to install.
[0037] Optionally, the fixed bracket assembly 1 includes a drive motor 25 and a swing arm 26. The drive motor 25 is fixedly mounted on the bracket body 11, and the swing arm 26 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 25. The other end of the swing arm 26 is rotatably connected to the first rotating plate 23. The rotation of the swing arm 26 is controlled by the rotation of the drive motor 25, thereby driving the first rotating plate 23 to rotate.
[0038] Optionally, the fixed bracket assembly 1 includes a drive motor 25, a first gear and a second gear. The first gear is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 25, and the second gear is coaxially mounted with the first rotating shaft 24 and fixedly connected to the first rotating plate 23. The first gear and the second gear mesh and drive each other, and the drive motor 25 drives the first rotating plate 23 to rotate through the first gear and the second gear.
[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the cup holder assembly 3 includes a second rotating plate 34 in the shape of a gooseneck. One end of the second rotating plate 34 is fixedly connected to the cup holder body 31, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bracket body 11 through a second rotating shaft 35. By setting the second rotating plate 34, it is easy to hide the second rotating shaft 35, avoiding the second rotating shaft 35 being exposed on the side of the bracket body 11 near the outer cover plate 21. This results in a high aesthetic appeal, a simple structure, and easy installation.
[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, the support body 11 is provided with a limiting member 13. The limiting member 13 is used to stop and cooperate with the cup holder body 31 or the second rotating plate 34 when the cup holder body 31 is in the fourth position. By setting the limiting member 13, it is convenient to limit the cup holder body 31 when it is in the fourth position, thereby improving the stability of the flip cover assembly when it is opened, making it convenient to place the cup, and improving the reliability of the cup when it is placed.
[0041] Optionally, the limiting component 13 is a limiting plate.
[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the limiting member 13 is provided with a fifth magnet 14, and the second rotating plate 34 is provided with a sixth magnet 36 with opposite magnetic properties to the fifth magnet 14. The sixth magnet 36 is used to magnetically cooperate with the fifth magnet 14 when the cup holder body 31 is in the fourth position.
[0043] In this embodiment, by setting a fifth magnet 14 and a sixth magnet 36, the fifth magnet 14 and the sixth magnet 36 attract each other, which improves the stability of the cup holder body 31 when it is in the fourth position, avoids the cup holder body 31 from shaking when the vehicle is traveling on a bumpy road, and improves the stability and reliability of the cup when it is placed.
[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the limiting member 13 is provided with a first buffer member 37. The buffer member is used to fit with the first rotating plate 23 when the outer cover plate 21 is in the second position. By providing the first buffer member 37, it is convenient to buffer the impact between the first rotating plate 23 and the limiting member 13 when the first rotating plate 23 rotates, reduce or eliminate the noise caused by the collision, and improve the driving comfort.
[0045] Optionally, the first buffer 37 is a buffer block, which may be made of rubber, foam or sponge.
[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bracket body 11 is provided with a second buffer 15. The second buffer 15 is used to fit against the outer cover plate 21 when the outer cover plate 21 is in the first position. By setting the second buffer 15, it is easy to fix the outer cover plate 21, buffer the impact between the outer cover plate 21 and the bracket body 11, and reduce or eliminate the noise caused by the collision between the outer cover plate 21 and the bracket body 11, thereby improving the driving comfort.
[0047] Optionally, the second buffer 15 is a buffer block, which may be made of rubber, foam or sponge.
[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the cup holder body 31 is provided with a third buffer 38. The third buffer 38 is used to fit against the outer cover plate 21 located in the first position when the cup holder body 31 is in the third position. By setting the third buffer 38, it is easy to fix the cup holder body 31 and buffer the impact between the cup holder body 31 and the outer cover plate 21, reduce or eliminate noise caused by the collision, and improve driving comfort.
[0049] Optionally, the third buffer 38 is a buffer block, which may be made of rubber, foam or sponge.
[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the cup holder body 31 is provided with a fourth buffer 39 corresponding to the limiting hole 311. The fourth buffer 39 is used to fit and conform to the side wall of the cup body. By setting the fourth buffer 39, it is easy to fix the cup body and reduce or eliminate the noise caused by the collision between the cup body and the cup holder body 31, thereby improving the driving and riding comfort.
[0051] Optionally, the fourth buffer 39 is a buffer ring, which may be made of rubber, foam or sponge.
[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the outer cover plate 21 is provided with a relief groove 211 corresponding to the limiting hole 311. The relief groove 211 is used for placing the cup body base, which facilitates the placement of the cup body, improves the stability of the cup body when it is placed, and prevents the cup body from shaking and slipping.
