[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] The utility model provides a portable cup holder capable of being taken out and placed for water.

[0029] In one embodiment of the utility model, a portable removable cup holder can be detachably mounted on a vehicle body and is used to place cups, comprising a mounting seat 1, a base 2, a limiting assembly and a positioning assembly. A through hole 3 is provided on the top of the mounting seat 1, and the base 2 is hingedly connected to the bottom of the mounting seat 1. The limiting assembly comprises two limiting claws 4, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting seat 1 and are respectively hinged to the mounting seat 1. The two limiting claws 4 and the base 2 form a placement space for supporting the cups, and the positioning assembly is arranged between the two limiting claws 4 and is used to abut against the cups.

[0030] Specifically, when the portable cup holder of the utility model is used, the driver or passenger can directly install the utility model to the air outlet of the air conditioner on the vehicle dashboard by means of threaded connection or snap connection, so as to meet the needs of the driver or passenger to place the cup. Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, since the bottom of the mounting seat 1 is hinged with the base 2, the two limiting claws 4 in the limiting assembly are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting seat 1 and are hinged with the mounting seat 1, so that the base 2 and the two limiting claws 4 can enclose a placement space for placing a water cup, and the driver and passenger can directly put the water cup into the placement space from top to bottom. At this time, the base 2 can stably support the water cup, and the two limiting claws 4 can prevent the water cup from falling from the base 2, thereby achieving stable support and placement of the water cup, and the structural design is simple and reasonable; at the same time, when the utility model does not place a water cup, by turning the base 2 upward and turning and swinging the two limiting claws 4 in the direction close to the mounting seat 1 respectively, the base 2 and the two limiting claws 4 can be folded and stored, thereby reducing the size of the utility model occupied by the interior space of the car, which can not only effectively reduce the impact on the driver or passengers and improve the driving experience of the driver or passengers, but also can be used in conjunction with the through hole 3 opened on the top of the mounting seat 1 for transportation and carrying, and is flexible and convenient to use.

[0031] It can be understood that, since a positioning component for contacting with the water cup is also provided between the two limiting claws 4, the positioning component can be an elastic pad in the prior art, and the elastic pad is located on the mounting seat 1. When the water cup is placed in the placement space, the gap between the water cup and the two limiting claws 4 can be filled by the elastic pad, so that the water cup is placed more firmly, effectively preventing the water cup from bouncing due to road bumps during the driving of the car, and improving stability; at the same time, since the two limiting claws 4 are respectively hinged with the mounting seat 1, the two limiting claws 4 can swing at a certain angle relative to the mounting seat 1. When the size of the water cup to be placed becomes larger, it can also be directly placed in the placement space, and the elastic pad can be compressed and deformed, so that the water cup can still be stably placed and reliable to use. Compared with the prior art, the driver and passengers can directly put the water cup into the placement space without adjusting the other components. The positioning component automatically contacts and positions the water cup, so that a larger water cup can be placed, which not only simplifies the design structure, but also omits the operation steps, and is easy to use.

[0032] In one embodiment, a mounting hole is provided on one side of the mounting seat 1 facing the placement space, and the positioning assembly includes an elastic member 5 and a stop block 6. The elastic member 5 is disposed in the mounting hole, and one end of the elastic member 5 away from the mounting hole is connected to the stop block 6, so that the stop block 6 can extend out of the mounting hole and abut against the outer wall of the water cup. Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, since the elastic member 5 in the positioning assembly is arranged in the mounting hole, the elastic member 5 can be selected as a spring in the prior art. The spring has the characteristics of being easy to obtain and having a large elastic deformation force. The end of the elastic member 5 away from the mounting hole is connected to the limit block 6, thereby being able to drive the limit block 6 to move in a direction away from the mounting seat 1, and then being able to abut and limit the water cup in the placement space through the limit block 6, thereby improving the placement stability of the water cup.

[0033] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side of the limit block 6 away from the base 2 is tilted from top to bottom in the direction away from the mounting seat 1, and any side edges of the limit block 6 are chamfered, which not only guides the water cup so that the water cup can be smoothly placed in the placement space, but also prevents the edge of the limit block 6 from scratching the paint surface of the outer wall of the water cup, and is reliable to use.

[0034] In one embodiment, any limiting claw 4 includes a fixed portion 7 and a movable portion 8, the fixed portion 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 1, the movable portion 8 is hinged to the fixed portion 7, and a weight-reducing hole 9 is provided on the fixed portion 7. It can be understood that, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, by fixing the fixing portion 7 and the mounting base 1, the overall structural strength of the limiting claw 4 can be improved. In the actual use and manufacturing process of the utility model, the fixing portion 7 and the mounting base 1 can be made into an integrated structure, thereby omitting the assembly step between the fixing portion 7 and the mounting base 1, avoiding assembly gaps, eliminating assembly errors, and making it easy to manufacture; at the same time, by providing a weight-reducing hole 9 on the fixing portion 7, not only can the overall weight of the utility model be reduced while ensuring a firm clamping of the water cup, which is convenient for transportation and carrying, but also the impact on the air outlet of the automobile air conditioner can be reduced, that is, when the utility model does not place a water cup, the air blown out by the automobile air conditioner can pass through the weight-reducing hole 9.

[0035] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 1 includes a mounting plate 10 and a connecting portion 11, a positioning assembly and a limiting assembly are located on the mounting plate 10, the bottom of the mounting plate 10 is bent toward the placement space to form a connecting portion 11, the extension direction of the connecting portion 11 is perpendicular to the mounting plate 10 and is used to be hinged with the base 2, so that the base 2 can only be flipped relative to the mounting plate 10 in the range of 0° to 90°, that is, when the base 2 is flipped upward to be parallel to the mounting plate 10, the angle between the base 2 and the mounting plate 10 is 0°, at this time, the outer wall of the base 2 away from the connecting portion 11 abuts against the limiting block 6, and the limiting block 6 can prevent the base 2 from flipping arbitrarily relative to the mounting base 1, thereby completing the storage of the base 2; similarly, when the base 2 is flipped downward to be perpendicular to the mounting plate 10, the angle between the base 2 and the mounting plate 10 is 90°, at this time the base 2 can stably support the water cup, which is flexible and convenient to use.

[0036] In one embodiment, the mounting base 1 further includes a limiting portion 12, the top of the mounting plate 10 is bent toward the placement space to form the limiting portion 12, and the through hole 3 is located on the limiting portion 12. It can be understood that Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, since the limiting portion 12 is bent toward the placement space, when the water cup is placed in the placement space, the limiting portion 12 can block and limit the top of the water cup to prevent the water cup from jumping up and down in the placement space, thereby further improving the stability of the placement of the water cup and ensuring reliable use.

[0037] In one embodiment, a pin is provided on the connection portion 11, a groove 13 is provided on the side of the base 2 facing the placement space, and holes for inserting the pin are provided on the opposite sides of the groove 13. Figure 1 As shown, when the base 2 flips downward to be perpendicular to the mounting plate 10, the bottom surface of the groove 13 abuts against the connecting portion 11, thereby limiting the base 2 and preventing the base 2 from continuing to flip and swing downward, thereby being able to stably support the water cup, and the structural design is simple and reasonable.

[0038] In one embodiment, a limiting groove 14 for the water cup to extend into is provided on one side of the base 2 facing the placement space. Figure 1 As shown, the limiting groove 14 can limit the circumferential position of the bottom of the water cup in the placement space, effectively preventing the bottom of the water cup from sliding off the base 2 due to bumps on the road during driving, further improving the placement stability of the water cup and ensuring reliable use.

[0039] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
