[0077] Unless otherwise stated, the numerical ranges herein include not only the entire range within its two endpoints but also include several sub-ranges contained therein.

[0078] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present utility model will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present utility model thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0079] The utility model provides a storage box. It includes a storage box shell 10 and a cup holder 20. The cup holder 20 is connected to the storage box shell 10. The cup holder 20 has a storage position stored in the storage box shell 10, an unfolded position spaced apart from at least a portion of the side wall of the storage box shell 10, and an unlocked position located between the storage position and the unfolded position. In this embodiment, the unlocked position is located below the storage position, that is, the cup holder 20 can be unlocked by pressing down so that it can be rotated to the unfolded position. The cup holder 20 is rotatably arranged to the storage box shell 10 around a first rotation axis AX1 between the unfolded position and the unlocked position, and the cup holder 20 at the unfolded position is higher than the cup holder 20 at the unlocked position. That is, the cup holder 20 moves from the storage position to the unlocked position and moves downward; and the cup holder 20 rotates and moves upward from the unlocked position to the unfolded position. Through the utility model, Figure 3 As shown, the cup holder 20 can be hidden in the side wall of the storage box housing 10 in the storage position, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the cup holder 20 is located in the middle of the storage box housing 10 in the unfolded position. Therefore, when no cup is placed, the cup holder 20 can be hidden to retain a larger storage space of the storage box housing 10. Optionally, the cup holder 20 in the unfolded position abuts against the storage box housing 10. Optionally, the rotation angle of the cup holder 20 in the unfolded position and the cup holder 20 in the storage position relative to the storage box housing 10 is 120°-150°. Preferably, the angle is 130°.

[0080] According to the above solution, along the moving path of the cup holder 20, the unlocking position is located between the storage position and the unfolded position. And the unfolded position is located above the unlocking position. When a cup is placed on the cup holder 20, since the cup has a certain weight, this will cause the cup to press down on the cup holder 20. During the driving process of the vehicle, the cup holder 20 in the unfolded position is very easy to float up and down.

[0081] Therefore, the storage box housing 10 is provided with a first limiting portion 11, and the cup holder 20 is provided with a second limiting portion 21. Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, when the cup holder 20 is in the unfolded position, the second limiting portion 21 abuts against the first limiting portion 11 to limit the movement of the cup holder 20 along the height direction DH, and at least a portion of the projection of the second limiting portion 21 along the height direction DH coincides with the projection of the first limiting portion 11 along the height direction DH, that is, at least a portion of the second limiting portion 21 abuts against the first limiting portion 11 along the height direction DH, and the cup holder 20 cannot move downward, but can move downward under the first force F1 ( Figure 7 Optionally, the first force F1 is tangential to the side wall of the cup holder 20. Optionally, the pressure range of the first force F1 is set to 6-9N.

[0082] In the present invention, the cup holder 20 is movably disposed to the storage box housing 10 along the height direction DH between the storage position and the unlocking position, and the cup holder 20 at the storage position is higher than the cup holder 20 at the unlocking position. Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, when the cup holder 20 is in the storage position, the second limiting portion 21 is staggered with the first limiting portion 11, and the projection of the second limiting portion 21 along the height direction DH does not overlap with the projection of the first limiting portion 11 along the height direction DH. Figure 3 The second force F2 shown moves downward to switch to the unlocked state. Optionally, the pressure range of the second force F2 is set to 3-5N.

[0083] Optionally, the sum of the dimensions of the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 21 along the height direction DH is equal to or slightly smaller than the distance between the storage box housing 10 and the bottom of the cup holder 20 .

[0084] Optionally, the surface of the first limiting portion 11 is provided with felt.

[0085] Optionally, multiple groups of the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 21 are provided to ensure the stability of the cup holder 20 in the unfolded position.

[0086] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, the cup holder 20 is provided with a limiting rib 22, and the storage box housing 10 is provided with a convex rib 12. When the cup holder 20 is in the storage position, the limiting rib 22 is engaged with the convex rib 12. When the cup holder 20 is in the unfolded position or the unlocked position, the limiting rib 22 is staggered with the convex rib 12. The relative position of the cup holder 20 and the storage box housing 10 can be limited by the setting of the limiting rib 22 and the convex rib 12. In this embodiment, when the cup holder 20 is switched from the unfolded position to the storage position, or from the storage position to the unfolded position, the cup holder 20 needs to be pressed down, and the cup holder 20 can always remain in the unfolded position or the storage position without the action of external force.

[0087] Optionally, the height of the rib 12 is 3-5 mm. Optionally, the height of the rib 12 is 3.5 mm.

[0088] Optionally, the maximum overlap between the limiting rib 22 and the convex rib 12 is 2 mm. The cup holder 20 is pressed to a depth greater than 2 mm. Optionally, the cup holder 20 is pressed to a depth of 3 mm.

[0089] Optionally, the surface of the limiting rib 22 is provided with felt to prevent excessive impact sound.

[0090] Optionally, at least one of the limiting rib 22 and the convex rib 12 is provided with a first guide surface 221. Exemplarily, the limiting rib 22 is provided with the first guide surface 221. The limiting rib 22 is spaced apart from at least a portion of the outer wall of the cup holder 20. When the cup holder 20 is located at the storage position, the convex rib 12 is clamped between the limiting rib 22 and the cup holder 20. In this state, the first guide surface 221 is located on the side of the limiting rib 22 away from the convex rib 12. When the cup holder 20 is reset from the unfolded position to the storage position, under the action of an external force, when the cup holder 20 moves toward the storage position, the first guide surface 221 can guide the limiting rib 22, so that the cup holder 20 simultaneously moves toward the unlocked position (moves downward) to avoid the convex rib 12.

[0091] Reference Figure 1-Figure 7 The cup holder 20 also includes a cup holder body 23 and a cup holder side wall 24. The cup holder body 23 and the cup holder side wall 24 are arranged at an angle. Optionally, the cup holder body 23 is parallel to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the storage box shell 10, and the cup holder side wall 24 is parallel to the inner cavity side wall of the storage box shell 10, so that when the cup holder 20 is in the storage position, the cup holder 20 can be better integrated with the storage box shell 10, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the storage box. When the cup holder 20 is in the unfolded position, there is an arc notch 242 between the storage box shell 10. Optionally, the length of the arc notch 242 is 30-40mm. Optionally, the length of the arc notch 242 is 36mm. By limiting the size of the arc notch 242, most water cups on the market can be effectively prevented from jumping out of this notch.

[0092] Figure 7 The cup holder 20 shown at a is in the unfolded position, and the cup holder side wall 24 is disposed opposite to at least a portion of the storage box housing 10 , that is, the cup holder side wall 24 can divide the storage space into different spaces. Figure 7 The cup holder 20 shown at b is located at the storage position, the cup holder side wall 24 overlaps with at least a portion of the storage box housing 10, and the cup holder 20 is stored in the storage box housing 10. Optionally, the cup holder body 23 is circular, and when the cup holder body 23 rotates, the gap with the bottom of the storage box housing 10 is consistent, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the storage box. The central axis of the cup holder body 23 is substantially coincident with the first rotation axis AX1.

[0093] Optionally, the cup holder side wall 24 is provided with a flange 241. Optionally, the flange 241 is provided at the top of the cup holder side wall 24. By providing the flange 241, the rigidity of the cup holder side wall 24 can be effectively enhanced to prevent the cup holder side wall 24 from being broken when an external force (such as the second force F2) acts.

[0094] Optionally, the cup holder 20 is inclined from the bottom to the top, so that the cup holder 20 has a larger opening and a smaller bottom surface to guide the cup to be placed in.

[0095] Optionally, the height of the cup holder side wall 24 is 60-80 mm, and the thickness of the cup holder side wall 24 is 3-5 mm. Optionally, the height of the cup holder side wall 24 is 70 mm, and the thickness of the cup holder side wall 24 is 3.5 mm.

[0096] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 and Figure 8 The cup holder 20 further includes a mounting portion 27. The mounting portion 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cup holder body 23, and the mounting portion 27 is rotatably mounted to the storage box housing 10, and the central axis of the mounting portion 27 substantially coincides with the first rotation axis AX1. The mounting portion 27 is connected to the rotation center of the cup holder body 23. Optionally, along the projection of the height direction DH, the area of ​​the mounting portion 27 is smaller than the projection of the cup holder body 23. Thus, while the cup holder 20 maintains a stable connection with the storage box housing 10, its contact area is reduced, the operation efficiency of the cup holder 20 is improved, and the jamming is reduced. Optionally, the cup holder body 23 is located in the accommodating cavity of the storage box housing 10, and at least part of the mounting portion 27 extends outside the accommodating cavity of the storage box housing 10. The cup holder body 23 and the mounting portion 27 are connected by bolts, and the connection structure between the two is simple and firm.

[0097] The storage box is provided with an elastic member. Both ends of the elastic member are connected to the cup holder body 23 and the storage box housing 10 respectively. The elastic member is used to provide a force for the cup holder 20 to rotate to the unfolded position. And / or, the elastic member is used to provide a force for the cup holder 20 to move upward. The elastic member can be provided as one or more.

[0098] Optionally, a first elastic member 41 is provided between the cup holder body 23 and the storage box housing 10. The first elastic member 41 is configured as a compression spring. The first elastic member 41 abuts against or is fixedly connected to the holder body and the storage box housing 10 respectively. The first elastic member 41 is used to provide an elastic force to cause the cup holder 20 to move upward.

[0099] Optionally, a first elastic member 41 is disposed between the cup holder body 23 and the storage box housing 10. The second elastic member 42 is configured as a torsion spring. The second elastic member 42 is fixedly connected to the holder body and the storage box housing 10, respectively. The second elastic member 42 is used to provide an elastic force to cause the cup holder 20 to rotate toward the unfolded position.

[0100] Based on the above embodiment, the limiting rib 22 cooperates with the convex rib 12 so that the cup holder 20 and the storage box housing 10 cannot rotate relative to each other, but can move up and down to move between the storage position and the unlocked position. By setting the first elastic member 41, the cup holder 20 always has a tendency to move toward the storage position. Under the second force F2, the cup holder 20 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 41, and the cup holder 20 can move downward to move to the unlocked position. After the cup holder 20 moves to the unlocked position, the cup holder 20 moves toward the unfolded position under the joint action of the second elastic member 42 and the first elastic member 41. When the cup holder 20 moves from the unfolded position to the stored position, a first force F1 is applied to the cup holder 20, and the cup holder 20 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic member 42. When the limiting rib 22 abuts against the convex rib 12, due to the setting of the first guide surface 221, the limiting rib 22 moves downward along the direction of the first guide surface 221 relative to the convex rib 12, and at the same time squeezes the first elastic member 41 until the limiting rib 22 is offset from the convex rib 12. The cup holder 20 is stabilized to the stored position under the action of the first elastic member 41.

[0101] Optionally, the central axis of the elastic member substantially coincides with the first rotation axis AX1. Therefore, the force exerted by the elastic member on the cup holder 20 is relatively symmetrical and concentrated at the center of the cup holder 20, so that the cup holder 20 is evenly stressed and will not get stuck.

[0102] Back to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The cup holder body 23 and / or the storage box housing 10 are provided with a convex portion, and the convex portion is provided on the inner periphery and / or the outer periphery of the elastic member. Optionally, the convex portion is configured as an annular structure or an arc structure.

[0103] Optionally, the storage box housing 10 is provided with a first protrusion 13 . The first protrusion 13 protrudes from the bottom of the storage box housing 10 and extends toward the cup holder 20 .

[0104] Optionally, the cup holder body 23 is provided with a second protrusion 25 . The second protrusion 25 protrudes from the bottom of the cup holder body 23 and extends toward the storage box housing 10 .

[0105] Optionally, the first convex portion 13 and the second convex portion 25 are coaxially arranged, and the first convex portion 13 and the second convex portion 25 are staggered in the radial direction, that is, the rotation path of the first convex portion 13 and the rotation path of the second convex portion 25 are coaxial and do not overlap.

[0106] Optionally, the first elastic member 41 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting portion 27 and is located on the inner periphery of the second protrusion 25. The second elastic member 42 is located on the outer periphery of the first protrusion 13 and is located on the inner periphery of the second protrusion 25.

[0107] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 One of the cup holder body 23 and the storage box housing 10 is provided with a slide rail 26, and the other of the cup holder body 23 and the storage box housing 10 is provided with a slide groove 14. The slide rail 26 is circular or arc-shaped, and the slide groove 14 is circular. The slide rail 26 is slidably connected with the slide groove 14. Figure 8 As shown, the cup holder body 23 is provided with a circular slide rail 26. The slide rail 26 and the slide groove 14 provide a more stable connection mode to prevent shaking or loosening between the cup holder body 23 and the storage box housing 10. Optionally, the height of the slide rail 26 is 3-5 mm. Optionally, the height of the slide rail 26 is 4 mm.

[0108] The storage box also includes a damping member 50. The damping member 50 is connected to the cup holder 20 and / or the storage box housing 10, and the damping member 50 is used to provide resistance during the rotation of the cup holder 20. Optionally, the damping member 50 includes a damping gear 51 and a rack 52. The damping gear 51 is provided on the cup holder body 23, and the damping gear 51 can rotate with the rotation of the cup holder body 23.

The rotation speed of the cup holder 20 can be reduced by the damping and buffering effect of the damping gear 51, so that the cup holder 20 can be slowly rotated to the unfolded position. Optionally, the height of the rack 52 is 3-5 mm.

[0109] Optionally, the storage box further includes a bottom shell 15. The bottom shell 15 is disposed on the bottom wall of the storage box housing 10 to cover the cup holder 20, thereby isolating the structure between the cup holder 20 and the storage box housing 10 from the outside, ensuring the stability of the operation of the cup holder 20, and making the entire storage box structure more complete and beautiful, thereby improving the appearance and texture of the product. Optionally, the bottom shell 15 is connected to the storage box housing 10 by bolts.

[0110] In the prior art, the diameters of water cups or beverages used by people in daily life are not the same. The existing cup holder 20 with a fixed diameter cannot meet the placement requirements of objects with different cup diameters in the market. For example, when the diameter of the water cup is smaller than the diameter of the cup holder 20, the water cup is easy to shake during driving, which may cause abnormal noise or objects to fall out of the cup holder 20.

[0111] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7The storage box is also provided with a clamping block 30. The clamping block 30 is movably mounted to the storage box housing 10 to move between a hidden position and a clamping position, and the clamping block 30 always has a tendency to move toward the clamping position. When the cup holder 20 is in the storage position, the clamping block 30 is in the hidden position, and the clamping block 30 overlaps with at least part of the cup holder 20. When the cup holder 20 is in the unfolded position, the clamping block 30 is in the clamping position, the clamping block 30 is staggered with the cup holder 20, and the clamping block 30 and the side wall of the cup holder 20 (cup holder side wall 24) form a clamping space 31, at this time, at least part of the clamping block 30 is located above the bottom of the cup holder 20 (cup holder body 23). Through the pivoting arrangement of the clamping block 30 and the clamping space 31 formed by the clamping block 30 and the side wall of the cup holder 20, the requirements for clamping and fixing water cups of different diameters can be met.

[0112] like Figure 9-10 As shown, the clamping block 30 includes a shaft portion, a clamping portion and an elastic portion. Optionally, the clamping portion rotates around the shaft portion so that the clamping block 30 can move between the hidden position and the clamping position. The shaft portion is rotatably installed between the bottom shell 15 and the side wall of the storage box housing 10. Optionally, the side wall of the storage box housing 10 is provided with a receiving space for accommodating the clamping block 30 and the cup holder side wall 24. Optionally, the elastic portion is a torsion spring. The elastic portion is sleeved to the shaft portion, and one end of the elastic portion abuts against the storage box housing 10, and the other end is connected to the clamping block 30. The elastic portion has an elastic force that drives the clamping portion to move toward the clamping position.

[0113] Optionally, the clamping block 30 is provided with a second guide surface 301 , and when the cup holder 20 is located at the unfolded position, the second guide surface 301 is used to guide the cup body to move toward the bottom of the cup holder 20 (ie, the cup holder body 23 ).

[0114] Optionally, the first end of the rotating shaft is configured as a cone to facilitate installation. The second end of the rotating shaft is provided with a flange to prevent the rotating shaft from falling off after a long period of movement, thereby preventing the function from failing.

[0115] Optionally, the storage box is open or closed. When the storage box is closed, a cover plate may be provided, and the cover plate may be in various forms, such as a flip cover, a sliding cover or a rolling curtain.

[0116] Optionally, the storage box is further provided with a rubber pad, which is arranged at the bottom of the storage box housing 10 , and the rubber pad is located in the bottom area of ​​the storage box housing 10 other than the cup holder 20 .

[0117] Optionally, the storage box is further provided with an ambient light, which automatically lights up when the cup holder 20 is completely rotated out. The ambient light serves as a decoration or lighting function.

[0118] The storage box provided by the utility model can be used in a vehicle. The arrangement of the storage box can effectively utilize the interior space of the vehicle, realize the hidden storage of the cup holder 20, save the interior space of the vehicle, and make the passengers more comfortable. Moreover, when placing a water cup, it can avoid shaking or tilting during driving, and maintain stability.
