[0026] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0027] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0028] At present, in vehicles, storage boxes and cup holders are provided on the center consoles located at the driver's seat and the co-driver's seat. In the related art, for the provision of the cup holder, one or two cup grooves are formed on the storage box, and if a cup needs to be placed, the cup can be placed in the cup groove.

[0029] However, since the sizes of the above-mentioned cup slots are fixed, if the size of the cup does not match the size of the cup slot, for example, when the size of the cup is smaller than the size of the cup slot, the cup will not be placed stably, and when the size of the cup is larger than the size of the cup slot, the cup cannot be placed. This makes the versatility of the cup clamp structure poor, thereby making the vehicle's performance poor.

[0030] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a cup holder assembly, a center console assembly and a vehicle, wherein, through the structural design of the cup holder assembly, the cup holder assembly can be suitable for water cups of different sizes, thereby improving the overall performance of the vehicle.

[0031] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a partial structure of a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure from another perspective. Figure 3 for Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a cup holder assembly, including a base 1, a driving mechanism and a plurality of cup clamping structures 2, the driving mechanism is arranged on the base 1; each cup clamping structure 2 includes a connecting member 21 and an arc-shaped clamping member 22 connected together, the connecting member 21 is connected to the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the plurality of cup clamping structures 2 to move closer to or away from each other, so that the water cup is clamped between the plurality of clamping members 22; wherein the radii of the plurality of clamping members 22 are not equal.

[0033] In this way, the cup holder assembly provided in this embodiment can be applied to cups of more sizes. For example, for large-sized cups, the multiple cup clamping structures 2 can be moved away from each other to clamp the cups; for small-sized cups, the multiple cup clamping structures 2 can be moved closer to each other to clamp the cups. Moreover, in this embodiment, the radii of the multiple clamping members 22 are not equal, so that the size range of the cups clamped by the multiple clamping members 22 is larger. Specifically, the smallest cup is matched with the clamping member 22 with a smaller radius, and the largest cup is matched with the clamping member 22 with a larger radius. For cups between the smallest and largest cups, the distance between the multiple clamping members 22 can be adjusted to effectively clamp the cups.

[0034] It should be noted that the clamping member 22 can be an arc-shaped plate, and the concave direction of the arc-shaped plate is toward the side away from the other clamping member 22, and the bottom of the water cup is in contact with the connecting member 21, which can provide a certain supporting effect on the water cup and improve the stability of the water cup after being clamped.

[0035] When there are two cup clamp structures 2, the radius of the two clamping members 22 is relatively large; when there are three or more cup clamp structures 2, as the number of back clamp structures 2 increases, the radius of the clamping members 22 will decrease.

[0036] The following is a further introduction using the example of the cup holder assembly provided in this embodiment including two cup clamp structures 2 .

[0037] In some optional embodiments, the driving mechanism in this embodiment includes a bidirectional screw 3 rotatably connected to the base 1, and the bidirectional screw 3 includes a first rod segment 31 and a second rod segment 32 with different thread directions; the first rod segment 31 is threadedly connected to one of the two connecting members 21, and the second rod segment 32 is threadedly connected to the other of the two connecting members 21; wherein the bidirectional screw 3 can rotate under the action of an external force and drive the two cup clamp structures 2 to move closer to or away from each other. That is, when the bidirectional screw 3 rotates, the movement directions of the two cup clamp structures 2 are opposite.

[0038] Of course, in some other embodiments, two one-way screws may be used, one screw being threadedly connected to a connector 21, so that the two one-way screws are coaxially arranged. In this embodiment, the use of the bidirectional screw 3 can not only improve the convenience of setting the drive mechanism, but also ensure the movement synchronization of the two cup clamp structures 2.

[0039] The bidirectional screw rod 3 may be driven by a motor or other drive member, or may be driven manually. It is understandable that the motor or other drive member needs to be electrically connected to other control modules, and noise may be generated during operation, which is inconvenient to set up and reduces the user experience.

[0040] Therefore, in the specific implementation of this embodiment, one end of the bidirectional screw 3 has a hand-held rotating portion 4, and the rotating portion 4 is provided with an anti-slip portion 5. In other words, by holding the rotating portion 4, the bidirectional screw 3 can be rotated, and the rotation of the bidirectional screw 3 drives the two cup clamp structures 2 to move closer to or away from each other.

[0041] In order to better apply force to the rotating part 4, the above-mentioned anti-slip part 5 is provided. The provision of the anti-slip part 5 can increase the friction between the rotating part 4 and the hand, so that better force can be applied to the rotating part 4 to rotate the bidirectional screw 3.

[0042] It should be noted that the above-mentioned rotating part 4 can be a circular plate-like structure, and the above-mentioned anti-slip part 5 can be an anti-slip groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating part 4, and a plurality of anti-slip grooves arranged at intervals are arranged along the outer peripheral surface of the rotating part 4, and the extension direction of the bottom of the anti-slip groove is consistent with the radial direction of the rotating part 4, and the extension direction of the anti-slip groove is consistent with the axial direction of the rotating part 4.

[0043] Of course, the anti-slip portion 5 may also be an anti-slip protrusion, such as a convex column, a convex block, etc. Here, the specific type of the anti-slip portion 5 is not limited.

[0044] If the cup clamp structure 2 is more stable during the movement, it can not only improve the clamping efficiency of the water cup, but also improve the stability of the clamping of the water cup.

[0045] Therefore, in order to improve the stability of the cup clamp structure 2 during movement, the cup holder assembly provided in this embodiment further includes a guide structure, which is disposed on the base 1 and is used to guide the movement direction of the cup clamp structure.

[0046] Specifically, the guide structure includes a guide rod 6 whose axial direction is consistent with the axial direction of the bidirectional screw 3; each connecting member 21 is provided with a guide hole 211 for the guide rod 6 to pass through, and the guide hole 211 is slidably matched with the guide rod 6. In this way, the stability of the cup clamping structure 2 during movement can be improved through the sliding cooperation between the connecting member 21 and the guide hole 211, which can improve the clamping efficiency of the water cup on the one hand, and on the other hand, can improve the stability of the water cup after being clamped.

[0047] The cross-sectional shape of the guide rod 6 can be circular, and accordingly, the guide hole 211 is also a circular hole. Here, the shapes of the guide rod 6 and the guide hole 211 are not specifically limited.

[0048] Generally, a storage box is also provided between the driver's seat and the co-driver's seat. If the storage box can be integrated with the cup holder assembly, the compactness of the structure inside the vehicle can be improved. Therefore, in some embodiments, the base 1 includes a base body 11 and a cover plate 12 covered on the top of the base body 11, the cover plate 12 and the base body 11 enclose a storage cavity 13, and the bidirectional screw 3 and the guide rod 6 are both located in the storage cavity 13; both ends of the bidirectional screw 3 are rotatably connected to the base body 11, and either end of the bidirectional screw 3 extends out of the base body 11 and is connected to the rotating part 4; both ends of the guide rod 6 are fixedly connected to the base body 11; wherein, a avoidance hole 121 communicating with the storage cavity 13 is opened on the cover plate 12, and the cup clamp structure 2 passes through the avoidance hole 121.

[0049] In this way, the cup holder assembly provided in this embodiment also has a storage function, which can not only improve the compactness of the internal structure of the vehicle, but also reduce the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

[0050] It should be noted that the cover plate 12 and the base body 11 may be movably connected, that is, the cover plate 12 may be removed or flipped open so that items can be placed in the storage cavity 13 .

[0051] In order to make the cup holder assembly provided in this embodiment applicable to cups of larger sizes, in an optional implementation, the avoidance hole 121 has two hole side walls 1211 arranged opposite to each other along the axial direction of the bidirectional screw 3, and the two connecting pieces 21 are arranged one-to-one with the two hole side walls 1211; the connecting pieces 21 are elastically connected to the corresponding hole side walls 1211. In this way, by making the connecting pieces 21 elastically connected to the hole side walls 1211, on the one hand, the size range of the cup to be clamped can be increased, and on the other hand, the clamping force on the cup can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the cup after being placed.

[0052] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the partial structure of the cup holder assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. In some specific embodiments, the connecting member 21 is elastically connected to the corresponding hole side wall 1211 through an elastic member 7. In this embodiment, the elastic member 7 is a spring. Of course, in some other embodiments, the connecting member 21 and the corresponding hole side wall 1211 can also be elastically connected through an elastic pad or the like. Here, the elastic connection method between the connecting member 21 and the corresponding hole side wall 1211 is not specifically limited.

[0053] Taking the spring as an example, in order to improve the stability of the spring during deformation and to facilitate the setting of the spring, a first positioning column 212 can be provided on the connecting member 21, and a second positioning column 1212 can be provided on the corresponding hole side wall 1211, and the two ends of the spring can be respectively sleeved on the first positioning column 212 and the second positioning column 1212. In this way, not only the stability of the spring during deformation can be improved, but also the convenience of setting the spring can be improved.

[0054] Specifically, when the cup holder assembly provided in this embodiment is used:

[0055] When the water cup needs to be clamped and placed, the water cup is placed between the two clamping members 22, and the rotating part 4 is manually turned forward to rotate the bidirectional screw 3, and the two connecting members 21 are driven to slide along the outer wall of the guide rod 6. When the inner walls of the two clamping members 22 fit the outer wall of the water cup, the rotating part 4 is stopped, so as to clamp and fix the water cup.

[0056] When the water cup needs to be taken out, the rotating part 4 is reversed by hand to rotate the bidirectional screw 3 and drive the two connecting parts 21 to slide along the outer wall of the guide rod 6. When the inner walls of the two clamping parts 22 are away from the outer wall of the water cup, the rotating part 4 is stopped and the water cup can be taken out.

[0057] This embodiment also provides a center console assembly, including a center console and the above-mentioned cup holder assembly; the base 1 is arranged on the center console. The cup holder assembly has been described in detail in the above-mentioned embodiment, and will not be described here.

[0058] It should be noted that, in the center console assembly provided in this embodiment, the base 1 is also integrated with an air-conditioning outlet 8 and a gear lever 9 .

[0059] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned center console assembly. It should be noted that the vehicle provided in this embodiment should also include other components or modules, which are not specifically limited here.

Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
