Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile interior decoration, and in particular to a cup holder device and a vehicle having the cup holder device. Background Art

[0002] The design of traditional car cup holders often focuses on close integration with the overall structure of the car, which means that the cup holders are usually firmly connected to the body or interior structure. However, this close connection method has some limitations in the context of modern consumers' increasing emphasis on personalized and customized services.

[0003] First, because the cup holder is closely connected to the vehicle body or interior structure, when the vehicle itself vibrates or shakes, the cup holder will vibrate or shake synchronously. For items placed in the cup holder, especially open containers filled with liquids, the liquid may splash out, which will not only dirty the interior environment of the car, but also may cause damage to the electronic equipment or leather interior decoration. If the splashed liquid is hot, it may also scald the passengers, especially in emergency situations, such as sudden braking or turning, the risk will be greatly increased.

[0004] Secondly, because the cup holder is closely connected to the vehicle body or interior structure, the position of the cup holder is fixed and the angle is not adjustable, so the cup holder cannot be adjusted according to the individual needs of the passengers. For passengers with special needs, such as business people who need to use the cup holder frequently or child passengers who need special containers, this limitation may be more significant.

[0005] Finally, the way the cup holder is tightly connected to the body or interior structure limits the expandability and replaceability of the cup holder, meaning that it is difficult to upgrade or replace it without destroying the internal structure of the car, which limits the innovation space for automakers in cup holder design.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a cup holder device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is a schematic top view of a cup holder device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 This is a schematic structural diagram of a cup holder device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application from a bottom perspective after the support frame 21 is hidden.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a cup holder device 100, which includes a cup holder 10, a support assembly 20, a balancing assembly 30, and an angle adjustment mechanism 40. Each part is described in detail below.

[0034] The cup holder 10 is mainly used to place a cup-shaped container, and can also be used to place some small items. The cross section of the cup holder 10 is usually circular, and can also be rectangular or other similar shapes.

[0035] The inner wall of the cup holder 10 is provided with an anti-slip portion (not shown in the figure). The anti-slip portion can achieve the anti-slip effect by increasing friction. For example, the anti-slip portion can be a coating of rubber, silicone or other similar materials; the anti-slip portion can be a texture that can increase the roughness of the inner wall of the cup holder 10; the anti-slip portion can be a raised support point.

[0036] For a cup-shaped container or small object made of metal, the anti-slip portion can be designed to be magnetic to achieve an anti-slip effect. For example, the anti-slip portion can be a small magnet embedded on the inner wall of the cup holder 10 .

[0037] The support assembly 20 is disposed on the outer side of the cup holder 10 to support the cup holder 10 and absorb vibration and impact. The support assembly 20 includes a support frame 21 and a plurality of elastic support members 22.

[0038] The support frame 21 is cylindrical and is disposed outside the cup holder 10. The cross section of the support frame 21 may be rectangular, circular or other similar shapes.

[0039] A plurality of elastic support members 22 are connected between the outer wall of the cup holder 10 and the inner wall of the support frame 21. Specifically, the plurality of elastic support members 22 may be connected between the outer wall of the cup holder 10 and the inner wall of the support frame 21, and may also be connected between the outer bottom surface of the cup holder 10 and the inner bottom surface of the support frame 21. The elastic support member 22 may be a spring, which is low in cost and easy to install and replace.

[0040] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the cross section of the cup holder 10 is circular, and the cross section of the support frame 21 is square. Eight elastic support members 22 are connected between the outer wall of the cup holder 10 and the inner wall of the support frame 21. Every four elastic support members 22 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction to form a circle, and there are two circles in total. Four elastic support members 22 are connected between the outer bottom surface of the cup holder 10 and the inner bottom surface of the support frame 21. These four elastic support members 22 are also evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. In this way, there are a total of 12 elastic support members 22 to provide elastic support to the cup holder 10 from four directions on the side of the cup holder 10 and the bottom of the cup holder 10.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the balancing assembly 30 enables the cup holder 10 to be adaptively adjusted to maintain balance. The balancing assembly 30 includes a movable frame 31 , two first rotating shafts 32 , two second rotating shafts 33 , and a base support 34 .

[0042] The movable frame 31 is arranged outside the support frame 21. The movable frame 31 can be rectangular, circular or other similar shapes, and the movable frame 31 shown in the figure is a square frame.

[0043] Two first rotating shafts 32 are coaxially connected to the movable frame 31 and are respectively located on both sides of the support frame 21. One end of each first rotating shaft 32 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 31 through a T-shaped joint 35, and the other end is rotatably connected to the side wall of the support frame 21, so that the movable frame 31 and the support frame 21 can rotate relative to each other.

[0044] Two second rotating shafts 33 are coaxially connected to the movable frame 31 and are respectively located on the other two sides of the support frame 21. The axis of the second rotating shaft 33 is perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft 32. One end of each second rotating shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 31 through a T-shaped joint 35, and the other end is rotatably connected to the base bracket 34, so that the movable frame 31 and the base bracket 34 can rotate relative to each other.

[0045] The base support 34 includes two vertical plates 341 and a bottom plate 342 connecting the two vertical plates 341. The two second rotating shafts 33 are rotatably connected to the two vertical plates 341 respectively.

[0046] In addition to being used to mount the two second rotating shafts 33 , the base bracket 34 is also used to detachably connect the cup holder device 100 to the vehicle body or interior structure, so that the cup holder device 100 can be installed and removed without damaging the internal structure of the vehicle.

[0047] Among them, the base bracket 34 is provided with buckles and / or slots (not shown in the figure), which can cooperate with corresponding slots and / or buckles on the vehicle body or interior structure to achieve the function of detachable connection.

[0048] Working principle of the balancing assembly 30: When the vehicle vibrates or shakes, the balancing assembly 30 allows the vehicle to decompose the mutual motion around the first rotating shaft 32 and the second rotating shaft 33, so that the cup holder 10 does not vibrate or shake synchronously with the vehicle, but is always in a vertical position under the action of gravity to maintain stability.

[0049] The angle adjustment mechanism 40 is used to adjust the angle of the cup holder 10. Figure 3 As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 40 includes a reduction motor 41 , a motor seat 42 , a winding wheel 43 , a guide wheel 44 , a guide wheel seat 45 , and a traction rope 46 .

[0050] The reduction motor 41 is mounted on the base bracket 34 via a motor base 42. The reduction motor 41 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle and can be manually controlled by setting a corresponding control switch.

[0051] The winding wheel 43 is mounted on the output shaft of the reduction motor 41 .

[0052] The guide wheel 44 is mounted on the base bracket 34 via a guide wheel seat 45 .

[0053] One end of the traction rope 46 is connected to and wound on the winding wheel 43, and the other end is guided by the guide wheel 44 and passed through the inner side of the support frame 21 to be connected to the cup holder 10. The support frame 21 is provided with an opening (not shown in the figure) for the traction rope 46 to pass through.

[0054] Exemplarily, the other end of the traction rope 46 is connected to a protrusion 11 formed at the center of the outer bottom surface of the cup holder 10 , the non-wound portion of the traction rope 46 is parallel to the bottom surface of the cup holder 10 in a vertical position, and the motor seat 42 and the guide wheel seat 45 are installed on the same vertical plate 341 .

[0055] When the cup holder 10 is in the vertical position, the traction rope 46 does not apply traction to the cup holder 10 . At this time, the cup holder 10 can be adaptively adjusted under the action of the support assembly 20 and the balance assembly 30 and maintain a stable position.

[0056] When the angle of the cup holder 10 needs to be adjusted, the control switch of the deceleration 41 is operated, and the control switch transmits a signal to the vehicle's electronic control unit, and the electronic control unit outputs a signal to the deceleration motor 41, and the deceleration motor 41 pulls the cup holder 10 toward the guide wheel 44 through the traction rope 46, so that the cup holder 10 is tilted at the required angle. At this time, the support assembly 20 and the balance assembly 30 can still play their respective roles to a certain extent. The angle-adjustable cup holder 10 can meet some special requirements of passengers for taking and placing items.

[0057] In summary, the cup holder device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is supported on the outer side of the cup holder 10 by the support assembly 20, which can absorb vibration and impact to ensure the stable position of the cup holder 10. The cup holder 10 can be adaptively adjusted to maintain balance through the balancing assembly 30, and the angle of the cup holder 10 can be adjusted through the angle adjustment mechanism 40, which can meet some special item taking and placing needs of the passengers. The cup holder device 100 has broad application prospects and practical value.

[0058] The embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, which includes the cup holder device 100 described above.

[0059] The cup holder device 100 is detachably connected to the vehicle body or interior structure via the base bracket 34 , so that the cup holder device 100 can be upgraded or replaced without damaging the internal structure of the vehicle, thereby improving the expandability and replaceability of the cup holder.

[0060] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the field can easily think of various changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
