[0036] In some specific embodiments, a stop surface is formed on the engaging protrusion 124, and the stop surface abuts against the limiting wall 134. When the stop surface abuts against the limiting wall 134, the angle between the stop surface and the limiting wall 134 is α, and α is set in the range of 20°≤α≤40°, so that the bending moment applied to the claw 12 is small, and the claw 12 is only subjected to the reaction force given to the claw 12 by the limiting wall 134, thereby avoiding the claw 12 from being broken due to excessive force.
[0037] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the external frame 13 includes: a first connecting arm 131, a second connecting arm 132 and a limiting plate 133, the first connecting arm 131 and the second connecting arm 132 are spaced apart from each other on both sides of the width direction of the claw mouth 101; the limiting plate 133 is connected between the first connecting arm 131 and the second connecting arm 132 and a limiting wall 134 is formed on the surface of the limiting plate 133 facing the claw mouth 101.
[0038] In some specific embodiments, the external frame 13 is composed of a first connecting arm 131, a second connecting arm 132 and a limiting plate 133. The first connecting arm 131 and the second connecting arm 132 are respectively arranged on both sides of the width direction of the claw opening 101. The first connecting arm 131 and the second connecting arm 132 are spaced apart from each other to form a certain receiving space for accommodating the clamping protrusion 124. The limiting plate 133 is arranged between the first connecting arm 131 and the second connecting arm 132. A limiting wall 134 protruding toward the claw opening 101 is formed on the limiting plate 133. The clamping protrusion 124 can also abut against the limiting wall 134 to limit the movement of the claw 12, thereby changing the force fulcrum of the claw 12 to prevent the claw 12 from being broken due to excessive force, thereby improving the pressure resistance of the cup holder assembly.
[0039] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the claw 12 includes: a base plate 121, a first pivot arm 122 and a second pivot arm 123, the first pivot arm 122 and the second pivot arm 123 are arranged on both sides of the base plate 121 in the width direction, the first pivot arm 122 and the second pivot arm 123 are respectively rotatably arranged on the cup holder frame 11, and the clamping protrusion 124 is connected to the first pivot arm 122 and the second pivot arm 123 and is spaced apart from the base plate 121.
[0040] In some specific embodiments, the claw 12 is composed of a base plate 121, a first pivot arm 122 and a second pivot arm 123. The base plate 121 is not connected to the cup holder frame 11.

The first pivot arm 122 and the second pivot arm 123 are also respectively connected to the clamping protrusion 124 and spaced apart from the base plate 121. When one of the first pivot arm 122 or the second pivot arm 123 is damaged or cannot be used normally, the other of the first pivot arm 122 or the second pivot arm 123 can continue to drive the clamping protrusion 124 to rotate, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the operation of the claw 12.
[0041] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the surface of the snap-fitting protrusion 124 facing the accommodating cavity is constructed as an arc-shaped surface. The arc-shaped snap-fitting protrusion 124 can adapt to cups of different sizes and shapes. No matter whether the cup is round, oval or other shapes, the arc-shaped snap-fitting protrusion 124 can stabilize the cup by adjusting its opening size and shape. The arc-shaped snap-fitting protrusion 124 has a certain guiding property, and the user can put the cup into the claw 12 with simple movements. The design of the arc-shaped snap-fitting protrusion 124 can disperse the force, reduce the pressure concentration on a single point, reduce the wear and damage of the claw 12, and increase its service life.
[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a lap plate 125 extending away from the bottom plate 121 is formed on the clamping protrusion 124 , and the lap plate 125 is suitable for abutting against the limiting wall 134 .
[0043] In some specific embodiments, a lap plate 125 is provided on the side of the snap-in protrusion 124 facing the external frame 13, and the lap plate 125 extends in a direction away from the bottom plate 121. On the one hand, the lap plate 125 can enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the snap-in protrusion 124 and improve the reliability of the snap-in protrusion 124. On the other hand, the lap plate 125 can abut against the limiting wall 134, and the lap plate 125 can increase the contact area between the snap-in protrusion 124 and the limiting wall 134, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the snap-in protrusion 124 and the limiting wall 134.
[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the outer surface of the cup holder frame 11 is formed with a first support plate 111 and a second support plate 112, which are arranged on both sides of the claw opening 101 in the width direction and are pivotally connected to the first pivot arm 122 and the second pivot arm 123 respectively.
[0045] In some specific embodiments, a first support plate 111 and a second support plate 112 are further provided on the cup holder frame 11, and the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112 are respectively provided on both sides of the width direction of the claw opening 101, and the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112 are parallel and spaced apart, so that there is a certain space between the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112 for installing the first pivot arm 122 and the second pivot arm 123, and the first support plate 111 is provided with the first pivot arm 122, and the second support plate 112 is provided with the second pivot arm 123, and the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112 can provide stable installation and fixing points for the first pivot arm 122 and the second pivot arm 123, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the cup holder frame 11 and the claw 12.
[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the outer frame 13 and the cup holder frame 11 are connected by fasteners or fixed by welding.
[0047] In some specific embodiments, the external frame 13 and the cup holder skeleton 11 can be connected by fasteners. The fastener connection is a detachable connection method, which is usually achieved by using screws, bolts or other fasteners. The fastener connection can adjust the relative position between the external frame 13 and the cup holder skeleton 11 within a certain range by adjusting the tightness of the fasteners to meet different installation requirements. Since the fastener connection is detachable, they can be easily separated when parts need to be repaired or replaced without having to disassemble the entire assembly on a large scale. In addition, for cup holder assemblies that need to be used in different scenarios or conditions, the fastener connection allows users to adjust or replace parts as needed.
[0048] In other specific embodiments, the external frame 13 and the cup holder skeleton 11 can be fixed by welding. Welding fixation is a non-detachable connection method. The external frame 13 and the cup holder skeleton 11 are permanently connected together by melting the material in a partial area. The welded connection usually has high strength and rigidity and can withstand large loads and impact forces. The welded connection can also form a continuous material connection, effectively preventing external factors such as moisture and dust from entering the connection part, thereby improving the sealing and durability of the entire component. In addition, the welded connection does not require additional fasteners or connectors, making the appearance of the entire component more neat and beautiful.
[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cup holder assembly further includes an elastic member 14 , and the elastic member 14 is respectively connected to the claw and the external frame 13 .
[0050] In some specific embodiments, an elastic member 14, such as a spring or elastic rubber, is further provided in the cup holder assembly. The elastic member 14 is connected to the claw and the external frame 13, respectively. When the cup is put in or taken out, friction or impact may be generated between the claw and the external frame 13. The presence of the elastic member 14 can reduce these impacts, provide a smooth transition, and prevent the cup or other components from being damaged. In addition, the elastic member 14 allows the claw to move or adjust within a certain range. This means that the cup holder assembly can adapt to cups of different sizes and shapes, provide stable support, and in the absence of external force, the elastic member 14 can also help keep the claw in the desired position, ensuring that the cup holder assembly always remains stable during use.
