[0023] The specific implementation methods of the utility model are further explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through the description of embodiments, with the aim of helping technicians in the field to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the concept and technical solution of the utility model and facilitating its implementation.

[0024] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower" and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly connected by technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terminology used in the specification of the present invention is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the utility model provides a multifunctional safety cup holder, including an elastic element 2, a disc heating tube 3, an inner wall of the cup holder 4, an outer wall of the cup holder 5, a driving motor 6, a winding tie 7, a winding motor 8 and a collision sensor 9.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner wall 4 of the cup holder is an open structure at the upper end, closed at the lower end and in the middle of the inner wall, and is used to place items, such as a water cup, etc. The inner wall 4 of the cup holder is made of a heat-conducting material, and the disc-type heating tube 3 heats the inner wall 4 of the cup holder after being energized, and the inner wall 4 of the cup holder then conducts the temperature to the water cup, thereby heating the water in the cup.

[0028] Furthermore, the elastic element 2 is a cylindrical helical spring and a compression spring. The lower end of the elastic element 2 is fixed on the outer wall 5 of the cup holder, and the other end is compressed between the outer wall 5 and the inner wall 4 of the cup holder through the ear piece 41 protruding from the inner wall 4 of the cup holder. The outer wall 5 of the cup holder is an open structure at the upper end, a closed structure at the lower end, and a middle structure inside. The elastic element 2 is located in the inner cavity of the outer wall 5 of the cup holder, and the elastic element 2 is sleeved on the inner wall 4 of the cup holder. 2. The cup is fixed by the expansion and contraction of the spring, thereby saving the layout space and making the car interior more concise.

[0029] Furthermore, the driving motor 6 passes through the center hole of the cup holder outer wall 5 and is connected to the cup holder inner wall 4. The driving motor 6 can drive the cup holder inner wall 4 to rotate. When the driving motor 6 drives the cup holder inner wall 4 to rotate, the elastic element 2 is driven to stretch, and the elastic element 2 is controlled to switch from a compressed state to an extended state, thereby playing a role of extension.

[0030] Furthermore, two ends of the winding tie 7 are fixed to the upper end of the elastic element 2 , and the middle of the winding tie 7 is connected to the winding motor 8 .

[0031] Furthermore, when the car collides, the collision sensor 9 receives the collision signal, triggers the retracting motor 8 to rotate, and quickly pulls back the retracting tie 7, thereby pulling back the elastic element 2. Therefore, when encountering a collision accident, the cup holder can be quickly retracted into the installation structure, which is safer.

[0032] like Figure 8 As shown, the outer wall 5 of the cup holder is arranged on the dashboard of the vehicle, which is convenient for the passengers to take and put the cup. However, since this position is also a position where the head is easily hit, it is easy to cause harm to the passengers. There is also a dashboard crossbeam at the lower end of this position.

[0033] like Figure 3 The stretching principle of the elastic element 2 is shown. When the driving motor 6 can drive the inner wall 4 of the cup holder to rotate clockwise, the ear piece 41 is inserted into the gap of the metal wire of the elastic element 2, thereby releasing the uncompressed part of the elastic element 2. The uncompressed part of the elastic element 2 extends the longitudinal length of the spring according to its own elastic force. The more the inner wall 4 of the cup holder rotates, the more the elastic element 2 is released. Conversely, when the driving motor 6 can drive the inner wall 4 of the cup holder to rotate counterclockwise, the ear piece 41 presses the elastic element 2 back into the cup holder.

[0034] At the same time, both ends of the winding tie 7 are fixed to the upper end of the elastic element 2, and the middle of the winding tie 7 is connected to the winding motor 8. When the driving motor 6 can drive the inner wall 4 of the cup holder to rotate clockwise and the elastic element 2 stretches, the winding tie 7 stretches together with it. On the contrary, when the driving motor 6 can drive the inner wall 4 of the cup holder to rotate counterclockwise and the elastic element 2 is compressed, the winding tie 7 is wound and compressed together with it. At this time, the winding motor 8 is a driven motor and does not apply a winding force to the winding tie. The final use state is as follows Figure 5 shown.

[0035] Figure 6 The working principle of the collision safety device of the cup holder is shown. When the collision sensor 9 receives the collision signal, the circuit is immediately turned on, causing the retracting motor 8 to rotate at a high speed. At this time, the retracting motor 8 becomes a driving motor, and retracts the retracting cable tie 7 to the retracting center of the retracting motor 8. Under the pulling force of the retracting cable tie 7, the retracting cable tie 7 quickly pulls the elastic element 2 back into the cup holder, which ensures safety and reduces space.

[0036] The utility model also provides a vehicle, including the multifunctional safety cup holder of the above structure. The specific structure of the multifunctional safety cup holder can be referred to Figures 1 to 8 Since the vehicle of the utility model includes the multifunctional safety cup holder in the above embodiment, it has all the advantages of the above multifunctional safety cup holder.

[0037] The utility model is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the utility model, or the concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
