[0038] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0039] The following will refer to Figure 1-Figure 12 The utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Fig.12 As shown, the cup holder assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a mounting seat 10 , a cup holder 20 and a bracket 30 .

[0041] Specifically, the mounting base 10 has a first accommodating cavity 11, and the mounting base 10 is provided with a first limiting portion 12. The cup holder 20 is at least partially located in the first accommodating cavity 11, the cup holder 20 has a second accommodating cavity 21 for accommodating the cup 200, and the cup holder 20 is provided with a first matching portion 22. The bracket 30 is mounted on the cup holder 20 and extends along the circumference of the second accommodating cavity 21, and the bracket 30 is provided with a groove 31 for placing the object 400.

[0042] The cup holder 20 can rotate between multiple positions relative to the mounting seat 10 to drive the bracket 30 to rotate, the rotation axis of the cup holder 20 extends in the up-down direction, and the bracket 30 rotates to adjust the angle of the groove 31. At least one of the first limiting portion 12 and the first matching portion 22 is arranged in a plurality along the circumference of the cup holder 20. At different positions, different first limiting portions 12 cooperate with the first matching portion 22 to lock the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10.

[0043] The bracket 30 extends along the circumference of the second accommodating cavity 21, so as to avoid the cup 200 and place the cup 200 in the second accommodating cavity 21, thereby realizing the function of the cup holder assembly 100 to place the cup 200. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the support 30 is configured in an annular shape to avoid the cup 200 , so that the cup 200 can pass through the annular region of the support 30 from top to bottom to be placed in the second receiving chamber 21 .

[0044] The object 400 placed on the groove 31 may be a mobile phone 300, a tablet, etc. There may be one or more grooves 31 to limit the position of the object 400, so as to facilitate the object 400 to be placed on the bracket 30 more stably. The angle of the groove 31 is the angular position of the groove 31 relative to the mounting seat 10 along the circumferential direction. Adjusting the angle of the groove 31 can adjust the angle of the object 400 placed on the groove 31, which is conducive to meeting the user's requirements for the angle of the object 400 placed on the groove 31. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the object 400 placed on the groove 31 is a mobile phone 300, and the angle of the mobile phone 300 is adjusted so that the user can view the mobile phone 300.

[0045] At least one of the first limiting portion 12 and the first matching portion 22 is multiple, so that the cup holder 20 can rotate between multiple positions relative to the mounting seat 10, which is conducive to adjusting the angle of the object 400 to meet the needs of the user to watch at different angles relative to the mounting seat 10. When the cup holder 20 rotates between different positions relative to the mounting seat 10, the same first matching portion 22 can be matched with different first limiting portions 12 (for example, there is one first matching portion 22 and there are multiple first limiting portions 12, or there are multiple first matching portions 22 and first limiting portions 12, etc.), or different first matching portions 22 can be matched with the same first limiting portion 12 (for example, there are multiple first matching portions 22 and there is one first limiting portion 12), which can be determined according to the number of first matching portions 22 and first limiting portions 12.

[0046] For example, in some specific embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 10As shown, there are six first limiting portions 12 and two first matching portions 22. The first matching portion 22 on the left side matches with the first limiting portion 12 in the middle of the left side and the first matching portion 22 on the right side matches with the first limiting portion 12 in the middle of the right side, so that the relative position of the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 is locked, and the cup holder 20 is in the first position relative to the mounting seat 10; the first matching portion 22 on the left side matches with the first limiting portion 12 on the left front side and the first matching portion 22 on the right side matches with the first limiting portion 12 on the right rear side, so that the relative position of the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 is locked, and the cup holder 20 is in the second position relative to the mounting seat 10; the first matching portion 22 on the left side matches with the first limiting portion 12 on the left rear side and the first matching portion 22 on the right side matches with the first limiting portion 12 on the right front side, so that the relative position of the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 is locked, and the cup holder 20 is in the third position relative to the mounting seat 10. The angle between the first position and the second position and the angle between the first position and the third position of the connecting line of the two first matching portions 22 are both 30°. The cup holder assembly 100 is installed on the auxiliary dashboard of the vehicle, which is convenient for adjusting the angle of the mobile phone 300, so that the cup holder 20 is in a first position to meet the viewing needs of the middle passenger in the rear row of the vehicle, the cup holder 20 is in a second position to meet the viewing needs of the left passenger in the rear row of the vehicle, and the cup holder 20 is in a third position to meet the viewing needs of the right passenger in the rear row of the vehicle.

[0047] In the present application, the cup holder assembly 100 can not only place the cup 200 through the second accommodating cavity 21, but also place objects 400 such as a mobile phone 300 through the groove 31 on the bracket 30, without occupying other installation space for placing the object 400. The cup 200 and the object 400 can be placed through the installation space of the cup holder assembly 100, and the utilization rate of the installation space is high. Moreover, the bracket 30 does not need to be used to collect the object 400 manually, which is conducive to freeing the user's hands, reducing the user's fatigue of collecting the object 400 for a long time, such as holding the mobile phone 300 for a long time to watch the mobile phone 300, and improving the user experience.

[0048] Furthermore, by rotating the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10 between multiple positions, the bracket 30 can be adjusted in angle relative to the mounting seat 10 between multiple positions, which is helpful to meet the user's requirements for placing the object 400 at multiple angles in the groove 31, and has rich functions. Moreover, the present application realizes the placement of the cup 200, the placement of the object 400 and the angle adjustment of the object 400 with low structural complexity, low cost and easy implementation.

[0049] In addition, the cup holder 20 can be rotatably connected relative to the mounting seat 10 through the cooperation between the first limiting portion 12 and the first matching portion 22, that is, through the cooperation between the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10, without the assistance of other components such as the bracket 30, and the assembly is convenient.

[0050] According to the cup holder assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, not only the cup 200 can be placed, but also the mobile phone 300 and other items 400 can be placed through the groove 31 on the bracket 30. The function is novel and the placement angle of the item 400 at the groove 31 relative to the mounting base 10 can be adjusted, which is conducive to meeting more user needs and improving the user experience.

[0051] The bracket 30 and the cup holder 20 can be fixedly connected, so that the bracket 30 and the cup holder 20 are not easily separated, and the placement of the object 400 on the groove 31 is more stable. The bracket 30 and the cup holder 20 can also be detachably connected to facilitate later maintenance and replacement. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 6 , Fig. 9 and Fig.11 As shown, the bracket 30 is provided with four second limiting portions 33 and the cup holder 20 is provided with four second matching portions 27 which match the second limiting portions 33 one by one. The second matching portions 27 are inserted into the second limiting portions 33 to realize the connection between the bracket 30 and the cup holder 20, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the mounting seat 10 is installed by the clamping portion 18. For example, the mounting seat 10 is clamped to the auxiliary instrument panel in the vehicle body by the clamping portion 18, and the clamping force is strong. In addition, the wall surface of the mounting seat 10 forming the first accommodating cavity 11 is continuous and not hollowed out, so that the mounting seat 10 is not easily deformed and has high strength.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 10 As shown, one of the first limiting portion 12 and the first matching portion 22 is a slot 13, and the other is a protrusion 23 that can be inserted into the slot 13, and the protrusion 23 is a flexible member. When the relative position of the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 changes, the same protrusion 23 is inserted into different slots 13, or different protrusions 23 are inserted into the same slot 13.

[0054] For example, in some specific embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5 and Fig.10 As shown, the first limiting portion 12 is a card slot 13 and there are six of them, and the first matching portion 22 is a card protrusion 23 and there are two of them. When the relative position of the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 changes, the left card protrusion 23 is inserted into a different card slot 13 on the left, and the right card protrusion 23 is inserted into a different card slot 13 on the right.

[0055] The engagement of the locking grooves 13 and the locking protrusions 23 at different positions facilitates the change of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10 between different positions. The locking protrusions 23 are flexible parts that are easy to deform and recover after deformation, so that the locking protrusions 23 are not easy to break when the relative positions of the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 change, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the locking protrusions 23, and facilitates the multiple rotations of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10, and has strong practicality.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 8 As shown, a damping member 40 is provided between the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10, and one of the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 is frictionally matched with the damping member 40, which is beneficial to increase the friction resistance between the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10, so that the rotation speed of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10 will not be too fast to reduce the possibility of idling between the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10, and reduce the possibility of the first limiting portion 12 and the first matching portion 22 failing to match due to the excessive relative rotation speed of the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10, thereby improving the accuracy of the cup holder 20 switching at different positions relative to the mounting seat 10, making the rotation of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10 smoother and reducing the problem of sticking, which is beneficial to improving the user's operational feel when rotating the cup holder 20.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, a support plate 24 is provided on the outer circumference of the cup holder 20, a support matching plate 14 is provided on the circumference of the cavity opening of the first accommodating cavity 11, the support plate 24 is located above the support matching plate 14, and the damping member 40 includes a first damping member 41 provided on the side of the support plate 24 facing the support matching plate 14, and the first damping member 41 is provided with a first matching portion 22. Through the cooperation of the support plate 24 and the support matching plate 14, the position of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10 can be limited to prevent the cup holder 20 from sliding downward relative to the mounting seat 10 and detaching from the mounting seat 10.

[0058] The cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 are frictionally matched between the support plate 24 and the support matching plate 14 by the first damping member 41, which is beneficial to increase the friction resistance between the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 at the periphery of the cavity opening of the first accommodating cavity 11, and the first damping member 41 is provided with a first matching portion 22, which is beneficial to increase the friction resistance between the first matching portion 22 and the first limiting portion 12, further improving the accuracy of the cup holder 20 switching at different positions relative to the mounting seat 10, and improving the operational feel of the user turning the cup holder 20.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5 and Figure 10-11As shown, the first limiting portion 12 is a clamping groove 13 provided on the supporting matching plate 14, and the supporting matching plate 14 is further provided with a sliding groove 15, which extends along the circumferential direction of the cup holder 20, and the first damping member 41 is slidably matched with the sliding groove 15, and the first matching portion 22 is a clamping protrusion 23 provided on the first damping member 41. The sliding groove 15 can limit the movement of the first damping member 41 during the rotation of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10, thereby reducing the possibility of the first damping member 41 escaping from the space between the supporting plate 24 and the supporting matching plate 14, so that the clamping protrusion 23 at different positions is easy to match with the clamping groove 13 during the rotation of the cup holder 20, so as to facilitate the switching of the cup holder 20 between different positions relative to the mounting seat 10.

[0060] In some embodiments, the surface of the slot 13 that cooperates with the protrusion 23 is provided with a rounded corner, so that the protrusion 23 can be guided by the rounded corner when the cup holder 20 is rotated, so that the protrusion 23 can be transferred from one slot 13 to another more smoothly and the possibility of the protrusion 23 breaking can be reduced.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the size of the protrusion 23 along the up-down direction is 1 mm, the size of the protrusion 23 along the front-back direction is 2.5 mm, and the size of the protrusion 23 along the left-right direction is 2 mm, so that the protrusion 23 is not easy to break.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the damping member 40 includes a second damping member 42, and the second damping member 42 is provided between the outer circumference of the cup holder 20 and the inner circumference of the first accommodating cavity 11. The cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 are frictionally matched between the outer circumference of the cup holder 20 and the inner circumference of the first accommodating cavity 11 through the second damping member 42, which is conducive to increasing the friction resistance between the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 at the inner circumference of the first accommodating cavity 11, further improving the accuracy of the cup holder 20 switching at different positions relative to the mounting seat 10, and improving the user's hand feeling.

[0063] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, the second damping member 42 includes a plurality of annular members 43 and a connecting plate 44. The annular members 43 extend along the circumference of the first accommodating cavity 11. The plurality of annular members 43 are arranged at intervals along the up-down direction, and adjacent annular members 43 are connected by the connecting plate 44. The annular members 43 can improve the friction resistance between the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 along the circumference of the first accommodating cavity 11, and the plurality of annular members 43 can evenly improve the friction resistance between the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 along the up-down direction, so that the rotation of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10 is more stable and not easy to shake, and the wear degree of a single annular member 43 caused by multiple rotations of the cup holder 20 can be reduced. Combined with the improvement of the connection strength of the plurality of annular members 43 by the connecting plate 44, the service life of the second damping member 42 is extended.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cup holder 20 and one of the mounting seat 10 are connected to the damping member 40 by injection molding, which can reduce the number of parts in the assembly and disassembly process of the cup holder assembly 100, simplify the assembly and disassembly steps, and help to improve the connection strength between the cup holder 20 and one of the mounting seat 10 and the damping member 40, thereby reducing the possibility of the damping member 40 falling off during the rotation of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10.

[0065] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the first damping member 41 is connected to the cup holder 20 by double injection molding and is located between the support plate 24 and the support matching plate 14. The first damping member 41 is connected to the slide groove 15 by interference molding and the interference amount is 2.95mm-3.05mm, for example, the interference amount is 2.95mm, 3mm, 3.05mm, etc. The second damping member 42 is connected to the cup holder 20 by double injection molding and is located between the outer circumference of the cup holder 20 and the inner circumference of the first accommodating cavity 11. The second damping member 42 is connected to the mounting seat 10 by interference molding and the interference amount is 2.95mm-3.05mm, for example, the interference amount is 2.95mm, 3mm, 3.05mm, etc. The first damping member 41 and the cup holder 20 are not easily separated, and the second damping member 42 and the cup holder 20 are not easily separated during the rotation of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10. The interference is set to 2.95 mm to 3.05 mm so that the cup holder 20 is not easily rotated too fast and idled relative to the mounting seat 10, nor is it easily rotated too slowly or even cannot rotate, which is conducive to making the user feel most comfortable when rotating the cup holder 20. For example, the operating force value of the user rotating the cup holder 20 is 7N to 12N.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, the inner wall of the groove 31 is provided with a flexible support layer 32, and the flexible support layer 32 is used to contact the object 400. The flexible support layer 32 can be deformed to adapt to the possible movement of the object 400 relative to the cup holder assembly 100, which is beneficial to buffer the movement of the object 400 toward the groove 31, such as collision, and reduce the impact that the object 400 may receive to protect the object 400.

[0067] For example, in some embodiments, the cup holder assembly 100 is placed in a vehicle, the flexible support layer 32 is a rubber part and is formed by two-color injection molding with the plastic bracket 30, and the groove 31 is used to place the mobile phone 300. During the driving of the vehicle, the mobile phone 300 may shake relative to the cup holder assembly 100, and the flexible support layer 32 can well support the mobile phone 300, reducing the risk of the mobile phone 300 falling. In addition, there may be burrs on the surface of the bracket 30 formed by injection molding, and the flexible support layer 32 can reduce the scratches on the mobile phone 300 caused by the burrs, which is beneficial to protecting the mobile phone 300. The flexible support layer 32 is connected to the bracket 30 by injection molding, so that the flexible support layer 32 is not easy to separate from the bracket 30 or even fall from the bracket 30, which is beneficial to improving the integrity of the bracket 30 and facilitating more stable placement of the object 400.

[0068] In some specific embodiments, the first damping member 41, the second damping member 42 and the flexible support layer 32 are made of rubber, the bracket 30, the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 are plastic parts, and the cup holder assembly 100 is manufactured by injection molding, two-color injection molding, vulcanization, painting, cutting and other processes. After the room temperature vulcanization process and the heating vulcanization process, the physical and mechanical properties of the rubber product are significantly improved, the resilience, rigidity and tensile modulus are significantly improved, the plastic deformation is reduced, and the rubber product becomes an insoluble elastomer.

[0069] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a first flexible partition layer 45 is provided between the bracket 30 and the cup holder 20. The first flexible partition layer 45 can buffer the movement such as collision between the bracket 30 and the cup holder 20, reduce the relative shaking and abnormal noise between the bracket 30 and the cup holder 20, make the bracket 30 and the cup holder 20 more tightly connected, facilitate the overall rotation of the bracket 30 and the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting base 10, and make the switching of the bracket 30 between multiple positions more accurate.

[0070] In some embodiments, Fig.12As shown, the cup holder 20 cooperates with the mounting seat 10 through the guide hole 16 and the guide column 25 movably inserted into the guide hole 16, and at least one of the inner circumference of the guide hole 16 and the outer circumference of the guide column 25 is provided with a second flexible partition layer 46. The cooperation between the guide hole 16 and the guide column 25 can limit the rotation of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10, so that the switching of the cup holder 20 between multiple positions relative to the mounting seat 10 is more accurate. And the second flexible partition layer 46 can buffer the movement such as collision between the inner wall of the guide hole 16 and the guide column 25, reduce the abnormal sound between the inner wall of the guide hole 16 and the guide column 25, and reduce the hard collision between the inner wall of the guide hole 16 and the guide column 25 to extend the service life of the guide hole 16 and the guide column 25.

[0071] The connection between at least one of the guide hole 16 and the guide column 25 and the second flexible separation layer 46 may be one or more of bonding, interference connection, etc. For example, in some specific embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the outer circumference of the guide column 25 is provided with a second flexible separation layer 46 , and the second flexible separation layer 46 is interference-connected with the guide column 25 with an interference amount of 0.5 mm, so that the connection between the guide column 25 and the second flexible separation layer 46 is tighter.

[0072] In some specific embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5 and Fig.12 As shown, the dimension of the guide column 25 along the up-down direction is 10 mm, the dimension of the guide column 25 along the front-back direction is 15 mm, and the dimension of the guide column 25 along the left-right direction is 8 mm, so that the guide column 25 is not easy to break, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the guide column 25.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, the thickness of the second flexible separation layer 46 is 1 mm, which helps to reduce the hard sticking when the guide column 25 contacts the inner wall of the guide hole 16.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 8 and Figure 10-12 As shown, the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 11 is provided with a through opening 17, and the bottom wall of the cup holder 20 is provided with a buckle 26 extending downward, the buckle 26 passes through the through opening 17 and abuts against the side of the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 11 facing away from the cup holder 20. A support plate 24 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cup holder 20, and a support matching plate 14 is provided on the periphery of the cavity opening of the first accommodating cavity 11, and the support plate 24 is supported above the support matching plate 14.

[0075] Through the cooperation of the support plate 24 and the support matching plate 14, the position of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10 can be limited, preventing the cup holder 20 from sliding downward relative to the mounting seat 10 and detaching from the mounting seat 10. Through the cooperation of the opening 17 and the buckle 26, the position of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10 can be limited, preventing the cup holder 20 from detaching upward relative to the mounting seat 10. Combined with the cooperation of the support plate 24 and the support matching plate 14, the cooperation of the opening 17 and the buckle 26, the position of the cup holder 20 relative to the mounting seat 10 in the up-down direction can be limited, making it difficult for the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10 to move relative to each other in the up-down direction.

[0076] Compared with some related technologies that use screws to limit the cup holder and the mounting seat, the present application uses the cooperation of the through-mouth 17 and the buckle 26 to limit the cup holder 20 and the mounting seat 10, which can not only reduce the number of required parts, but also save screws, reduce the cost of raw materials and assembly cycle cost, and reduce the risk of the cup holder 20 falling off the mounting seat 10.
