Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive cup holder technology, and particularly relates to a car cup holder with an adjustable and fixing structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of human-centered design in automotive interiors, car cup holders have become an indispensable storage structure inside vehicles, primarily used to hold items such as water cups and beverage bottles to prevent them from tipping over or slipping off while the vehicle is in motion. However, existing car cup holders still have many shortcomings in practical use:
[0003] First, traditional cup holders are mostly fixed-depth groove structures, which cannot accommodate containers of different heights. When placing shorter cans or small cups, most of the cup is exposed, making it easy for them to shake or even tip over when the vehicle is bumpy. If the cup holder is forcibly deepened, it will take up too much space under the center console, affecting the layout of other components.
[0004] Secondly, the adjustment mechanisms of some existing adjustable cup holders are quite complex, usually relying on threaded rotation or cumbersome snap-fit structures. These structures are not only inconvenient to operate, but also prone to wear and loosening of the adjustment parts due to frequent stress after long-term use, leading to support failure. In addition, many cup holders use an integrated design or simple bolt fixing between the cup holder and the base, making it difficult to disassemble and clean once the inside of the cup holder gets dirty, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of traditional cup holders, which mostly use a fixed-depth groove structure. This not only fails to accommodate containers of different heights, but also causes most of the cup to be exposed when placing shorter cans or small water cups, making them prone to shaking or even tipping over during vehicle bumps. Forcibly deepening the cup groove would occupy too much space under the center console, affecting the layout of other components. Furthermore, some cup holders with adjustable functions often rely on threaded rotation or cumbersome buckle structures, which are not only inconvenient to operate, but also prone to wear and loosening of the adjusting parts due to frequent stress after long-term use, leading to support failure. At the same time, most cup holders use an integrated design or simple bolt fixation with the base, making it difficult to disassemble and clean the inside of the cup groove when it gets dirty, resulting in a poor overall user experience. Therefore, this invention proposes a car cup holder with an adjustable and fixed structure.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a car cup holder with an adjustable and fixing structure, comprising:
[0007] The connecting base is attached to the interior of the vehicle;
[0008] The cup body has its bottom snapped onto the connecting base, and a cup groove is formed between the cup body and the connecting base;
[0009] The placement plate is slidably connected to the cup body, and the placement plate is elastically connected to the connecting base by a spring.
[0010] Furthermore, the cup body is provided with several adjustment channels, the cup body is provided with a limiting rack and a first sliding groove, and the placement plate is provided with several connecting blocks. The connecting blocks pass through the adjustment channels and are connected to the first sliding block, and the first sliding block is slidably connected in the first sliding groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned limiting rack is provided with several toothed grooves, and limiting holes are provided in the toothed grooves, with positioning pins connected in the limiting holes.
[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned placement plate is provided with a number of sliding blocks, and the inner side wall of the cup is provided with a number of second sliding grooves, with the sliding blocks slidably connected in the second sliding grooves.
[0013] Furthermore, the aforementioned connecting base is provided with a limiting groove, and the bottom of the cup body is engaged in the limiting groove.
[0014] Furthermore, a snap-fit block is provided on the outer side of the cup body, and a snap-fit ear is provided on the connecting base, which snaps into the snap-fit block.
[0015] Furthermore, a limit head is provided at the bottom of the aforementioned placement plate, and the top of the spring is sleeved on the limit head.
[0016] Furthermore, a limit block is provided at the bottom of the aforementioned connecting base.
[0017] The present invention provides a car cup holder with an adjustable fixing structure. In its natural state, the placement plate is supported by the elastic force of the bottom spring and is located at the upper part of the cup slot. At this time, the connecting block connected to the placement plate drives the first sliding block to be located at the upper end of the first sliding groove, and the positioning pin is inserted into the limiting hole at the top of the limiting rack to lock the height of the placement plate. When it is necessary to place water cups or cans of different heights, the user pulls the positioning pin upward to release it from the locking of the limiting hole. Then, the user presses the placement plate downward by hand. The sliding block on the periphery of the placement plate slides downward along the second sliding groove on the inner wall of the cup, ensuring the stability of the vertical movement of the placement plate and preventing tilting and jamming. At the same time, the placement plate drives the first sliding block to move downward along the first sliding groove through the connecting block, compressing the bottom spring. When the placement plate moves down to the appropriate height, the positioning pin is re-inserted. The placement plate is fixed in position by inserting it into the limiting hole in the corresponding toothed groove, thereby shortening the effective cup groove depth and accommodating the placement of different cups. The bottom of the cup engages with the locking ear on the connecting base via a locking block, and the bottom of the cup is simultaneously locked into the limiting groove of the connecting base. This double locking structure ensures the stability of the cup in the horizontal direction and allows the cup to be pulled out as a whole, facilitating thorough cleaning of the inside of the cup groove. This structure solves the problem of poor adaptability of single-depth cup holders. Furthermore, using the cooperation structure of the limiting toothed rack and the positioning pin, users can simply insert or remove the positioning pin to complete the height adjustment, making the operation intuitive and simple. The toothed groove structure provides multi-level adjustment, and with the positioning of the limiting hole, it can effectively resist the spring rebound force and driving vibration, preventing the placement plate from accidentally sliding down, providing a good locking effect and improving the user experience.
[0018] Therefore, this embodiment has the following advantages compared to the prior art:
