Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile center console accessories manufacturing, in particular to a long-stroke automobile lifting cup holder. Background Art

[0002] The central armrest box (i.e., center console) of a car is an auto part installed between two seats and belongs to the car interior system. Its humanized design is originally intended to allow the driver to place his arms when driving for a long time, so that the arms can get an effective rest without numbness or stiffness. The armrest box also has a storage function, which is used to store change, documents and other items.

[0003] In addition, most armrest boxes are provided with cup holders for placing water cups, beverages, etc. For example, the patent application with application number CN202321221977.7 and titled "A liftable cup holder and vehicle" discloses a liftable cup holder structure, which mainly includes a shell, a cup holder and an unlocking mechanism. The unlocking mechanism mainly includes a button, a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. The middle part of the first connecting rod is hinged to the shell. When the cup holder is lowered, the buckle at the bottom will be connected to the buckle groove of the second connecting rod to form a fixation. When unlocking, the first connecting rod is driven to move by the button. At this time, the first connecting rod will rotate around the hinge point, and then the first connecting rod will drive the second connecting rod to move horizontally, so that the buckle at the bottom of the cup holder is disengaged from the buckle groove of the second connecting rod to achieve unlocking. The stroke of the existing liftable cup holder is about 40-60mm, but when placing a long cup on the existing liftable cup holder, most of the cup will be exposed outside, resulting in unstable placement, so a long-stroke (stroke ≥ 80mm) liftable cup holder is designed. As the stroke increases, the length of the shell and the length of the first connecting rod need to increase accordingly. Since the first connecting rod is an injection molded part, the rod itself has a certain deformation amount. As the length of the first connecting rod increases, during the unlocking process, part of the rotational force is absorbed by the deformation of the rod, resulting in the inability to effectively drive the second connecting rod to move horizontally, which in turn causes the unlocking failure. Therefore, for the long-stroke liftable cup holder, its structure needs to be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to make up for the above-mentioned deficiencies and disclose to the public a long-stroke automobile lifting cup holder which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a long-stroke automobile lifting cup holder includes a cup holder shell 1, a cup holder 2 and an unlocking mechanism. An extended shell 3 is fixed to the lower part of the cup holder shell 1. The cup holder 2 can perform lifting and lowering movements in the space passed through the extended shell 3 and the cup holder shell 1. The unlocking mechanism includes a matching control rod 4 and an unlocking member 5. The unlocking member 5 is translatedly matched with the bottom of the extended shell 3. The control rod 4 is hingedly matched with the cup holder shell 1 or the extended shell 3. A reinforcing rod 6 is axially arranged on the control rod 4.

[0030] A transmission head 41 is protruding from the bottom of the control lever 4 , a transmission groove 51 is arranged on the outer side of the unlocking member 5 , and the transmission head 41 extends into the transmission groove 51 .

[0031] In the lifting cup holder of the utility model, a reinforcing rod 6 (the reinforcing rod 6 can be made of a metal material with high rigidity) is axially implanted on the operating rod 4 to increase the rigidity of the operating rod 4, so as to reduce the deformation of the operating rod 4 during the unlocking process, thereby realizing the unlocking action of the lifting cup holder with a long stroke (stroke ≥ 80mm) without changing the overall structure of the lifting cup holder. Since the overall structure of the lifting cup holder can continue to use the existing lifting cup holder structure, most of the components do not need to be re-molded, which greatly saves mold costs.

[0032] As an extension, the reinforcing rod 6 is placed inside the control rod 4. In order to increase the strength of the transmission head 41 at the same time, the reinforcing rod 6 can be extended into the transmission head 41. Alternatively, the bottom of the reinforcing rod 6 extends out of the control rod 4 to serve as the transmission head 41.

[0033] A button 42 is disposed on the upper side of the control lever 4 , and the button 42 extends into the cup holder housing 1 .

[0034] A limit block 43 is disposed on the upper end of the control rod 4 at a side away from the button 42 , and a limit stopper 11 is disposed on the cup holder housing 1 at a position corresponding to the limit block 43 .

[0035] The cooperation between the limit block 43 and the limit stopper 11 can limit the swing amplitude of the control lever 4 around the hinge point. The limit stopper 11 can be made of vibration-absorbing material, such as rubber, silicone, etc., which can absorb vibration through the deformation of the material itself and reduce the impact sound during operation.

[0036] The control lever 4 is provided with a grille portion 4a. The control lever 4 in this embodiment is made by insert injection molding, a metal reinforcing rod 6 is placed as an insert in an injection mold, and then the control lever 4 is made by injection molding. The provision of the grille portion 4a can ensure the strength of the control lever 4 while reducing the use of injection molding materials, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing manufacturing costs.

[0037] The bottom of the extended housing 3 is provided with a guide groove 3a, the unlocking member 5 is slidably matched with the guide groove 3a, and an elastic member 7 is provided between the inner end of the unlocking member 5 and the inner wall of the guide groove 3a.

[0038] The unlocking member 5 is provided with a limit buckle 52. The setting of the limit buckle 52 limits the maximum displacement of the unlocking member 5 moving outward.

[0039] The working principle of the long-stroke automobile lifting cup holder is the same as that of the existing lifting cup holder. When a water cup is placed in the cup holder shell 1, the cup holder 2 overcomes the elastic force of the internal spring and descends until the buckle at the bottom of the cup holder 2 is fixed to the extended shell 3 to form a lock; when unlocking, the button 42 at the upper end of the control rod 4 is pressed from the inner wall of the cup holder shell 1, so that the control rod 4 rotates around the hinge point and enters the transmission groove 51 of the unlocking member 5 acted by the transmission head 41 at the lower end of the control rod 4, driving the unlocking member 5 to move horizontally in the guide groove 3a of the extended shell 3, and the unlocking member 5 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 7 to move inward, unlocking the cup holder 2, and the cup holder 2 rises.

[0040] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed or modified in any way.
