There is an opening above the shell and the vertical wall. The first luminous member is arranged in the shell and emits light into the luminous space. The light emitted by the first luminous member into the luminous space can be upwardly emitted from the opening of the shell to the outside of the shell, which can illuminate the interior of the vehicle at night or in a dark state, and mark the position of the cup body accommodating cavity. If the vehicle is in the dark or in a dark environment, the position of the cup holder is easy to be found, which is convenient for users to take or put in cups at night.

Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0035] With the vigorous development of new energy vehicles, more and more cars are using interior atmosphere lights in their interiors. Currently, there are many styles of interior atmosphere lights in cars, involving many functions. Now they are no longer limited to the luminous form on the plane, and gradually pursue a three-dimensional and dynamic feeling.

[0036] The cup holder in the vehicle is a component for the driver and passengers to store and hold cups. At night, there is no effective lighting for specific areas in ordinary cars. There are only single-color and floodlight internal lighting such as reading lights. The lighting for the cup holder area is not enough. If the vehicle is in the dark or in a dark environment, the position of the cup holder is not easy to be found. It is difficult to take or put the cup at night, and the user can only rely on the user's usage habits to find the position of the cup holder. However, in the related art, there is a lighting structure set on the cup holder, but the shape of the lighting structure is irregular, which makes it difficult to install or repair, and the lighting structure is not isolated from the cup body accommodating cavity and the interior of the vehicle body. The lighting structure is exposed in the cup body accommodating cavity, which may cause the liquid spilled in the cup to contaminate the lighting structure, or even cause a short circuit and damage the lighting structure; the lighting structure is exposed in the interior of the vehicle body and is easily covered with dust and is not easy to clean, which may affect the lighting brightness and lighting efficiency of the light source.

[0037] It should be noted that cup holders with lighting structures are needed not only on the vehicle center console or seat armrests, but also on sofa seats, electric massage chairs, bedside chairs, office desks, desks, and other occasions to place cups.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 If the cup holder assembly needs to be installed on the vehicle body, the housing needs to be installed on the center console or the armrest of the vehicle seat. Specifically, the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a vehicle body and a cup holder assembly 1, and the housing 11 is installed on the vehicle body.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The embodiment of the present application provides a cup holder assembly 1, including a shell 11, a vertical wall member 12 and a first light-emitting member 131. The shell 11 has an opening at the top; the vertical wall member 12 is located inside the shell 11, extends in the vertical direction, and is arranged around the center of the cup holder assembly 1 to form a cup body accommodating cavity 121, and the cup body accommodating cavity 121 is used to accommodate a cup; there is at least a portion of a gap between the shell 11 and the vertical wall member 12 to enclose a light-emitting space α; the first light-emitting member 131 is arranged in the shell 11, and emits light toward the light-emitting space α.

[0040] The cup holder assembly 1 provided in the present application has an opening at the top of the shell 11, so that the shell 11 can be installed on the vehicle body. The vertical wall member 12 is located inside the shell 11, and the vertical wall member 12 extends in the vertical direction and is arranged around the center of the cup holder assembly 1 to form a cup body accommodating cavity 121, so that the cup body accommodating cavity 121 is cylindrical and can accommodate a cup inside. The cup body accommodating cavity 121 is in the middle position of the shell 11, and the space on the outer edge of the cup body accommodating cavity 121 is uniform. Since the shell 11 has an opening at the top and the cup body accommodating cavity 121 also has an opening above, the cup can be placed in the cup body accommodating cavity 121 from the opening. Since there is at least a gap between the shell 11 and the vertical wall member 12 to enclose the luminous space α, the luminous space α can be set around the cup body accommodating cavity 121, which is more convenient to indicate the position of the cup body accommodating cavity 121. There is an opening above the shell 11 and the vertical wall member 12. The first luminous member 131 is set in the shell 11 and emits light toward the luminous space α. The light emitted by the first luminous member 131 into the luminous space α can be dispersed upward from the opening of the shell 11 to the outside of the shell 11, which can illuminate the interior of the vehicle at night or in a dark state, and mark the position of the cup body accommodating cavity 121. If the vehicle is in the dark or in a dark environment, the position of the cup holder is easy to find, which is convenient for users to take or put in cups at night.

[0041] Compared with the related art, the cup holder assembly 1 provided by the present application has a light-emitting space α between the housing 11 and the vertical wall 12, so that the first light-emitting member 131 is separated from the cup body receiving cavity 121, which can prevent the cup contained in the cup body receiving cavity 121 from spilling the liquid inside due to road bumps, thereby contaminating the first light-emitting member 131, and even causing a short circuit and damaging the lighting structure; and the first light-emitting member 131 is not exposed inside the vehicle body, and is easy to clean if covered with dust, which will not affect the lighting brightness and lighting efficiency of the first light-emitting member 13, and the light-emitting space α can make the first light-emitting member 131 more convenient to install or repair in the housing 11. And the first light-emitting member 131 can play the role of lighting and atmosphere light.

[0042] It should be noted that the first light-emitting element 131 can be a variety of light sources, and can be a linear light source or a point light source, without limitation here. For example, the first light-emitting element 131 can be an incandescent lamp, a fluorescent lamp, an LED lamp bead, an LED light strip or a laser, etc.

[0043] In addition, there is at least a portion of a gap between the housing 11 and the vertical wall member 12 . The width of the gap can be of various types and is not limited here. For example, it can be set according to the installation position and installation space of the cup holder in the vehicle.

[0044] In addition, the shape of the shell 11 can be various, which is not limited here. For example, it can be a cylinder, a cuboid or an irregular shape, etc. When the shape of the shell 11 is a cylinder, the cup body accommodating cavity 121 surrounded by the vertical wall member 12 is also a cylinder, and the shell 11 and the cup body accommodating cavity 121 are coaxially arranged.

[0045] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 7 The shell 11 is divided into two parts, the upper part and the lower part, the diameter of the upper end of the shell 11 is larger than the diameter of the lower end of the shell 11, and the diameter of the vertical wall 12 is the same as the bottom diameter of the shell 11. In this way, the size of the cup holder assembly 1 can be reduced, the occupied space can be reduced, the installation space of the cup holder assembly 1 can be saved, and it is more convenient to install it on the vehicle body.

[0046] In addition, the shape of the light-emitting space α can be various, which is not limited here. In some embodiments provided in this application, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the shape of the light-emitting space α can be a circular cylinder.

[0047] In addition, the cover 111 has an opening above the gap between the housing 11 and the vertical wall 12, which makes the light-emitting space α unsealed.

[0048] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 The shell 11 includes a cover 111 with a perspective function. The cover 111 is arranged above the gap between the shell 11 and the vertical wall 12, and the cover 111 is arranged around the center of the shell 11; the cover 111 and the outer walls of the shell 11 and the vertical wall 12 form a light-emitting space α.

[0049] In this way, the cover 111 can cover the gap between the shell 11 and the vertical wall 12, so that the light-emitting space α becomes a closed space, which can prevent the liquid contained in the cup body accommodating cavity 121 from spilling out due to road bumps, thereby contaminating the first light-emitting component 131, and even causing a circuit short circuit and destroying the lighting structure; and the first light-emitting component 131 is more convenient to install or maintain in the shell 11, and the cover 111 has a perspective function, which can make the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 131 pass through the cover 111 and diverge to the outside of the shell 11.

[0050] It should be noted that the shape of the cover 111 can be matched with the upper opening of the gap between the shell 11 and the vertical wall 12 where the cover 111 is set. Since the shape of the shell 11 can be various, the shape of the cover 111 can be various, which is not limited here. For example, when the shape of the shell 11 is cylindrical, the cover 111 is annular. The cover 111 and the shell 11 can be connected in various ways or integrally formed, which is not limited here. For example, the cover 111 and the shell 11 can be snap-connected or glued, etc. The material of the cover 111 is not limited here. For example, the cover 111 can be made of plastic or glass.

[0051] In addition, when the light emitted by the first light emitting element 131 is not emitted upward, the light cannot pass through the cover 111 to the outside of the housing 11, so that the light utilization rate of the first light emitting element 131 is low. A mirror can be set in the light emitting space α to increase the reflection of light, so as to increase the brightness and angle of light emission.

[0052] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 A first reflector 15 is provided on at least a portion of the inner wall of the housing 11 and the vertical wall member 12 , and the first reflector 15 is used to reflect the light emitted by the first light-emitting member 131 .

[0053] In this way, when the angle of the light emitted by the first light-emitting member 131 is not emitted upward, the light is emitted to the first reflective member 15 of the shell 11 and the vertical wall member 12, and the light is reflected back from the first reflective member 15 to increase the brightness and angle of the light, so that the user can see the light emitted by the lamp at multiple angles, making it more convenient for users in different positions to use the cup holder, improving the user experience, and enhancing the visual beauty.

[0054] It should be noted that the first reflector 15 can be of various types, which are not limited here. For example, the first reflector 15 can be a reflector or a semi-mirror, which is also called a one-way perspective mirror and a semi-reflective semi-mirror. It can transmit part of the light and reflect part of the light. The semi-mirror is divided into a positive and a negative side, the positive side is a mirror surface, which is used to reflect light, and the negative side is a lens, which can transmit light. And the first reflector 15 can be of various types of semi-mirrors, which are not limited here. For example, the first reflector 15 can be an organic semi-mirror or an inorganic semi-mirror, wherein the organic semi-mirror includes a color semi-mirror and an electroplated semi-mirror, and the first reflector 15 can also be a color semi-mirror or an electroplated semi-mirror. Secondly, the material of the first reflector 15 can be of various types, for example, it can be glass or plastic, etc.

[0055] In addition, the first reflective member 15 and the housing 11 may be connected in a variety of ways, which are not limited here. For example, the first reflective member 15 and the housing 11 may be connected by fasteners, welding, or gluing, etc.

[0056] In some embodiments provided in the present application, a first reflector 15 is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 11. In some embodiments provided in the present application, a first reflector 15 is disposed on the inner wall of the vertical wall member 12.

[0057] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The shell 11 and the vertical wall member 12 extend in the vertical direction, and the shell 11 and the vertical wall member 12 are both provided with a first reflector 15. In this way, the first reflector 15 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 11 and the inner wall of the vertical wall member 12, so that the light emitted by the first light-emitting member 131 can be reflected back and forth on the first reflector 15 on the inner wall of the shell 11 and the inner wall of the vertical wall member 12, until the light is reflected to the cover member 111 and penetrates out of the shell 11, so as to increase the light emission angle, so that the user can see the light from different viewing angles, improve the light utilization rate of the first light-emitting member 131, and enhance the lighting effect.

[0058] It should be noted that the first reflector 15 on the inner wall of the shell 11 can extend to the entire wall, and the first reflector 15 on the inner wall of the vertical wall 12 can also extend to the entire wall, so that the light emitted by the first light-emitting element 131 at different angles can be refracted back and forth until the light is reflected to the cover 111 and passes out of the shell 11. The first reflectors 15 on the shell 11 and the vertical wall 12 can be the same or different. Specifically, the first reflectors 15 on the shell 11 and the first reflectors 15 on the vertical wall 12 can both be reflectors or semi-mirrors. Or the reflectors on the shell 11 are semi-mirrors, and the reflectors on the vertical wall 12 are reflectors, or the reflectors on the shell 11 and the semi-mirrors on the vertical wall 12 are reflectors.

[0059] In addition, the first light emitting element 131 can be located in a variety of positions within the housing 11, which are not limited here. For example, the first light emitting element 131 can be fixed in the light emitting space α using a bracket. The type of the first reflective element 15 is related to the location of the first light emitting element 131.

[0060] In some embodiments provided in the present application, when the first light-emitting member 131 is fixed in the light-emitting space α, the first reflective member 15 on the housing 11 and the first reflective member 15 on the vertical wall member 12 are both reflectors.

[0061] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 5 , Figure 6The first light emitting member 131 is arranged on the inner wall of the vertical wall member 12, the first reflective member 15 on the housing 11 is a reflector, and the first reflective member 15 on the vertical wall member 12 is a semi-transparent mirror.

[0062] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 The first light emitting member 131 is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 11 and the vertical wall member 12, and the first reflector 15 on the housing 11 and the first reflector 15 on the vertical wall member 12 are both semi-transparent. In this way, the lighting intensity can be increased, the visual effect can be improved, and the user experience can be optimized.

[0063] In addition, the first light-emitting component 131 and the inner wall of the shell 11 can be connected in a variety of ways, which are not limited here. For example, the first light-emitting component 131 and the shell 11 can be connected by fasteners, glue, etc.

[0064] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first light emitting member 131 is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 11 and outside the first reflector 15, and the first reflector 15 is a semi-transparent mirror. In this way, the first light emitting member 131 is between the housing 11 and the first reflector 15, so that the first light emitting member 131 can be on the reverse side of the semi-transparent mirror without affecting the reflection of the front side of the semi-transparent mirror, so that the light emitted by the first light emitting member 131 can pass through the reverse side of the semi-transparent mirror into the light emitting space α, and when the light irradiates the front side of the semi-transparent mirror, the light can be reflected back.

[0065] It should be noted that when the first light emitting member 131 is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 11 , the one on the housing 11 may be a semi-transparent mirror, and the one on the vertical wall member 12 may be a reflecting mirror.

[0066] In addition, the first reflective member 15 can be connected and fixed to the first light-emitting member 131, and can also be connected and fixed to the inner wall of the shell 11. There can be multiple connection methods, which are not limited here. For example, the first reflective member 15 can be glued to the surface of the first light-emitting member 131, and can also be connected to the inner wall of the shell 11 with fasteners, where the fasteners can be of multiple types and are not limited here. For example, the fasteners can be bolts, screws, etc.

[0067] In addition, if the first light emitting member 131 is between the housing 11 and the first reflective member 15, and the first light emitting member 131 is on the inner wall of the housing 11, the first light emitting member 131 occupies too much space, which reduces the light emitting space α and makes the structure of the cup holder assembly 1 not compact.

[0068] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7At least one accommodating groove 112 is provided on at least a portion of the inner wall of the housing 11 and the vertical wall member 12, and the first light emitting member 131 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 112. In this way, the first reflective member 15 can be closely attached to the inner wall of the housing 11, saving the space occupied by the first light emitting member 131, making the light emitting space α larger, and making the structure of the cup holder assembly 1 compact.

[0069] It should be noted that at least one accommodating groove 112 may be provided on the inner wall of the shell 11 , or at least one accommodating groove 112 may be provided on the inner wall of the vertical wall member 12 , or at least one accommodating groove 112 may be provided on the inner walls of both the shell 11 and the vertical wall member 12 .

[0070] Secondly, the shape of the receiving groove 112 is adapted to the shape of the first light-emitting element 131. The shape of the first light-emitting element 131 can be various, and the shape of the receiving groove 112 can be various, which is not limited here. For example, when the first light-emitting element 131 is a light strip, the receiving groove 112 is correspondingly a long strip. When the first light-emitting element 131 is a light bulb, the receiving groove 112 is correspondingly a square.

[0071] In addition, the depth of the accommodating groove 112 can be various, which is not limited here. For example, the depth of the accommodating groove 112 can match the thickness of the first light-emitting component 131, that is, when the first light-emitting component 131 is in the accommodating groove 112, the outer surface of the first light-emitting component 131 is flush with the inner wall of the shell 11 or the vertical wall component 12.

[0072] In addition, the first light-emitting member 131 on the inner wall of the housing 11 or the vertical wall member 12 can have a variety of shapes, which are not limited here. For example, the first light-emitting member 131 can be in a ring, a circle, a square, or an irregular shape. Multiple first light-emitting members 131 can be arranged on the inner wall of the housing 11 or the vertical wall member 12 to increase the light intensity. The shapes of the multiple first light-emitting members 131 can be the same, different, or partially the same, which are not limited here.

[0073] In some embodiments provided in the present application, a plurality of first light-emitting members 131 are arranged on the inner wall of the shell 11 and arranged along the inner wall of the shell 11. In some embodiments provided in the present application, a plurality of first light-emitting members 131 are arranged on the inner wall of the vertical wall member 12 and arranged along the inner wall of the vertical wall member 12. In some embodiments provided in the present application, a plurality of first light-emitting members 131 are arranged on the inner wall of the shell 11 and arranged along the inner wall of the shell 11; a plurality of first light-emitting members 131 are arranged on the inner wall of the vertical wall member 12 and arranged along the inner wall of the vertical wall member 12. In this way, the first light-emitting members 131 can be annularly arranged around the cup holder accommodating cavity, and can be set to clearly indicate the placement position of the cup.

[0074] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first light-emitting element 131 is arranged around the center of the shell 11; and there are multiple first light-emitting elements 131, and the multiple first light-emitting elements 131 are arranged in the vertical direction. In this way, the first light-emitting element 131 can surround the cup holder accommodating cavity, strengthen the contour characteristics of the cup holder area, allow the user to quickly identify the cup holder at any time, and reduce the difficulty of user operation. In addition, the multiple first light-emitting elements 131 are arranged along the axial direction of the cup body accommodating cavity 121, so that the annular upper first light-emitting element 131 is arranged vertically to increase the light intensity and visual beauty.

[0075] It should be noted that the arrangement of the plurality of first light-emitting elements 131 can be various, which are not limited here. For example, the plurality of first light-emitting elements 131 can be evenly arranged in the vertical direction, that is, the spacing between two first light-emitting elements 131 is the same. The plurality of first light-emitting elements 131 can also be unevenly arranged, or the spacing between the plurality of first light-emitting elements 131 can gradually increase or decrease, and the plurality of first light-emitting elements 131 can also be combined into a pattern, etc.

[0076] Secondly, the illumination color of the first light-emitting element 131 can be either monochrome or multi-color, which is not limited here. For example, the illumination color of the first light-emitting element 131 can be 64 colors or 256 colors. And the illumination color of the first light-emitting element 131 can be customized or controlled by a specific algorithm logic; even the brightness of the light of the first light-emitting element 131 can be adjusted, and the brightness can be changed according to the brightness of the first light-emitting element 131, producing functions such as breathing and flowing water, which can greatly improve the quality of the whole vehicle. For example, as the depth of the cup placed in the cup holder continues to increase, multiple first light-emitting elements 131 light up from top to bottom in sequence, and the brightness can be increased during the process; or the water / breathing effect of each layer of light-emitting element 13 gradually accelerates during the process. Moreover, the light color of the first light-emitting element 131 can be customized or controlled by a specific algorithm logic, with the functions of breathing and flowing water, which can be connected to other atmosphere lights of the whole vehicle, and associated with other scene modes of the whole vehicle, to achieve music rhythm, nap mode, dynamic welcoming and seeing-off mode, etc., which can greatly improve the quality of the whole vehicle.

[0077] In addition, since the shell 11 can have various shapes, the first light-emitting element 131 is arranged around the center of the shell 11. The first light-emitting element 131 can be a light strip that surrounds the circular shell 11 to form a ring, or a light strip that surrounds the square shell 11.

[0078] In addition, the cover 111 can transmit light, and the structure inside the luminous space α can be seen when the light is strong, and the environment is noisy, which affects the visual effect and reduces the user experience. Therefore, the cover 111 can be a semi-lens, and can be a variety of semi-lenses, which are not limited here. For example, the cover 111 can be an organic semi-lens or an inorganic semi-lens, wherein the organic semi-lens includes a color semi-lens and an electroplated semi-lens, and the cover 111 can also be a color semi-lens or an electroplated semi-lens.

[0079] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the cover 111 includes a transparent layer and a reflective layer, the reflective layer covers one side of the transparent layer, and the reflective layer has a light-transmitting effect. In this way, the cover 111 can be a semi-transparent mirror, so that when the first light-emitting component 131 does not emit light, the cover 111 shields the light-emitting space α, and the light cannot enter the light-emitting space α, and the internal lighting structure will not be displayed, and the user will not be able to see the complex structure inside the light-emitting space α when the light is strong, which is more concealed. In addition, the reflective layer has a light-transmitting effect, so that part of the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 131 passes through the cover 111 to the outside of the shell 11, and part of the light will be reflected back, so that the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 131 will not be too strong, avoiding too strong light to irritate the eyes. And the cover 111 is a semi-transparent mirror with better visual effects, which enhances the user experience.

[0080] It should be noted that the transparent layer can be transparent glass or transparent plastic, and the reflective layer can be a metal coating layer, which is attached to one side of the transparent glass or transparent plastic to form a semi-transparent mirror. For example, a semi-transparent mirror metal film can be uniformly vacuum-plated on a transparent acrylic sheet to form a semi-transparent mirror.

[0081] In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the gap between the shell 11 and the vertical wall member 12 can be various, which are not limited here. For example, it can be rectangular, conical or waist-shaped.

[0082] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The housing 11 has a lower wall opposite to the cover 111, and the lower wall is provided with a second reflector 16. In this way, the light emitted downward by the first light-emitting member 131 can be reflected on the second reflector 16, and finally the light is reflected back to the cover 111, so as to increase the light utilization rate of the first light-emitting member 131, increase the brightness, and more clearly indicate the position of the cup body accommodating cavity 121. When the cup is not placed in the lifting cup holder, the visual effect of the first light-emitting member 131 of the cup holder assembly 1 is a circular infinite mirror. Through the cover 111 around the cup holder, the dazzling light effect of the internal multi-layer circular first light-emitting member 131 reflected and refracted by the infinite mirror principle in two directions can be seen, which has a sense of depth and perspective, optimizes the visual effect, and improves the user experience.

[0083] It should be noted that the infinite mirror is also called the abyss mirror or the thousand-layer mirror. The principle of the infinite mirror is mainly to produce infinite mirror effects and infinite space effects in the mirror through the mutual reflection of two mirrors. Specifically, the infinite mirror usually includes a half-mirror, a reflector and a light source, wherein the half-mirror includes a light-transmitting layer and a reflective layer, and the light source is arranged between the half-mirror and the reflector. When the light source emits light, the light will be reflected back and forth between the half-mirror and the reflector, and at the same time, part of the light will penetrate the half-mirror and emit, forming a light source and space effect that seems to be infinitely extended.

[0084] Secondly, the combination of the cover 111, the second reflector 16 and the first reflector 15 can produce a horizontal and vertical double-layer effect, which allows the user to observe the light from more angles, maximizes the light utilization of the first light-emitting element 131, and increases the brightness. The two layers of effect are superimposed on each other to produce a more brilliant light effect, making the cup holder assembly 1 more technological. Fig.10 , the solid arrow is the reflection effect in the horizontal direction, and the dotted arrow is the reflection effect in the horizontal direction. The first light-emitting member 131 at A emits light to B through the first reflector 15, and the light is reflected to C by the first reflector 15 on the right, and then reflected to D by the first reflector 15 on the left, and finally reflected to the cover 111 above. Part of the light can be seen by the user through the cover 111, and the other part of the light is refracted downward to F, reflected to J by the first reflector 15 on the left, and then reflected to H by the first reflector 15 on the right. After being reflected at I and J in turn, the light is reflected to K of the second reflector at the bottom, and then the light is reflected by a mirror to L, and finally returns to A, and this cycle continues. Since multiple layers of light strips can be set on the inner wall of the shell 11 of the cup holder assembly 1 or the outer wall of the vertical wall member 12, the infinite mirror effect will be richer and the visual effect will be better.

[0085] In addition, the second reflective element 16 can be made of various materials, for example, glass or plastic.

[0086] In addition, at night or in dim light, the cup holder may not be recognized to have a cup in it, causing the user to try to put the cup in again, which reduces the user experience.

[0087] In some embodiments provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The cup holder assembly 1 includes a cup holder 14, which is disposed in the cup body accommodating cavity 121 and is used to support the cup. At least one second light-emitting element 132 is disposed on the upper side of the cup holder 14. In this way, the second light-emitting element 132 can serve as a lighting and atmosphere light. When a cup is already placed in the cup holder, the second light-emitting element 132 on the upper side of the cup holder 14 will be blocked by the cup, so that the user can clearly identify whether there is a cup placed on the cup holder 14, avoiding the user from trying to place the cup repeatedly, thereby improving the user experience.

[0088] It should be noted that the second light-emitting member 132 provided on the upper side of the cup holder 14 can be of various types, and can be a linear light source or a point light source, which is not limited here. For example, it can be an incandescent lamp, a fluorescent lamp, an LED lamp bead, an LED light strip or a laser. The second light-emitting member 132 provided on the upper side of the cup holder 14 can be of various shapes, which is not limited here. For example, it can be annular, circular, square, or irregular. The number of the second light-emitting members 132 provided on the upper side of the cup holder 14 can be one or more, which is not limited here. For example, it can be three annular light strips. The size and arrangement of the second light-emitting member 132 provided on the upper side of the cup holder 14 can be of various sizes and are not limited here. For example, it can be arranged uniformly in the radial direction of the cup body accommodating cavity 121. The second light-emitting member 132 provided on the upper side of the cup holder 14 can also have functions such as breathing, flowing water, and color change.

[0089] Secondly, the second light emitting member 132 disposed on the upper side of the cup holder 14 can be higher than the upper surface of the cup holder 14, so as to increase the friction of the cup holder 14. In addition, a receiving groove can be disposed on the upper side of the cup holder 14, and the second light emitting member 132 is received therein, and the upper surface of the second light emitting member 132 can be flush with the upper surface of the cup holder 14.

[0090] In some embodiments provided in the present application, a lifting mechanism is provided under the cup holder 14 of the cup holder assembly 1, which can enable the cup holder 14 to move axially along the cup body receiving cavity 121. In this way, the cup holder 14 can be positioned at the opening of the cup body receiving cavity 121 when no cup is placed therein, thereby preventing dust and debris from entering the cup body receiving cavity 121, thereby improving the user experience.

[0091] In addition, a control device may be provided to control the lighting mode of the light emitting element 13, and in combination with the vehicle preset mode, the light emitting element 13 may perform different actions corresponding to the combined vehicle scene mode.

[0092] In some embodiments provided in the present application, it includes: a control device, the control device includes a sensing module and a control module, the sensing module is arranged in the cup body accommodating cavity 121, and is used to sense and obtain the status information of the cup holder and the cup; the control module is electrically connected to the sensing module and the light-emitting element 13, and the control module is used to execute a control program according to the information obtained by the sensing module to control the status and mode of the light-emitting element 13.

[0093] It should be noted that the light-emitting element 13 includes a first light-emitting element 131 and a second light-emitting element 132, both of which play the role of lighting and atmosphere lighting. When the cup is placed on the cup holder 14, the light-emitting element 13 can identify the state through the built-in temperature and pressure sensors, and respond to different actions in conjunction with the vehicle scene mode. That is, the cup holder assembly 1 can have multiple sensing modules, which are not limited here. For example, there can be a weight recognition module, a temperature recognition module, a gesture recognition module, etc.

[0094] For example, a pressure sensor can be set on the cup holder 14, and the lighting effect of the first annular light-emitting element 131 is combined with the pressure sensor on the cup holder 14. When the pressure sensor threshold is ≥150g, the first annular light-emitting element 131 at the bottom of the cup in the middle will light up immediately. For example, the lighting method is to diffuse the lighting from the middle to the outside, with a step time of 0.5s, and the brightness of each circle is switched from 30%, steplessly to 100% and then remains unchanged. As the cup drops with the bottom of the cup, the sensor inside the first annular light-emitting element 131 recognizes the displacement. For example, when the cup drops to the first circle and the second circle of the first annular light-emitting element 131, the multiple circles of the first annular light-emitting element 131 next to it are activated in turn, and the specific lighting form is a meteor-shaped water surrounding effect. In this way, the number of circles of the first annular light-emitting element 131 that are lit can be used to guide the user whether there is a cup in the cup body accommodating cavity 121.

[0095] For example, a temperature sensor can also be set on the cup holder 14. The temperature sensor senses the temperature of the cup and controls the color of the annular first light-emitting element 131. That is, 0 degrees Celsius can be set to correspond to white light, 100 degrees Celsius to correspond to red, and the intermediate temperature can be set to correspond to 64 colors or 256 colors, and the gradient color between white-blue-red corresponds to the temperature. In this way, the user can judge the temperature of the liquid in the cup in the cup holder according to the color of the first light-emitting element 131, and the user can be prevented from being scalded by the excessive temperature of the liquid in the cup.

[0096] For example, a gesture recognition module can be provided. When placing or taking a cup, the gesture recognition module can sense that the user's hand is above the cup holder, thereby causing the light-emitting element 13 to change accordingly, more clearly indicating the position of the cup holder, so that the user can place or take the cup more conveniently.

[0097] Secondly, the light-emitting element 13 of the cup holder assembly 1 can respond to the temperature signal, pressure signal, vehicle enable signal, color signal, brightness signal, rate signal, etc. of the sensing module. In addition, the software control of the light-emitting element 13 can be any wired or wireless signal transmission form. There can be many control modules for the light-emitting element 13, which are not limited here. For example, the control module can be a press switch, a temperature control switch, a music control module, etc. For example, the cup can be placed in the cup holder in combination with the vehicle preset mode, and the control module can enable the light-emitting element 13 to reflect different effects, such as breathing, flowing water, changing color, etc., as the depth of the cup placed in the cup holder increases. For example, as the depth of the cup placed in the cup holder increases, the multiple circles of light-emitting elements 13 of the cup holder light up from top to bottom in turn, and the brightness can increase during the process; or the water flow or breathing effect of each layer of the light-emitting element 13 gradually accelerates during the process.

[0098] In addition, the light-emitting mode of the light-emitting element 13 can also be controlled according to the rhythm of the music, that is, the loudness, frequency and other information of the music can be analyzed by the vehicle controller and transmitted to the light-emitting element 13 of the cup holder assembly 1 for response. The brightness, breathing rate, flow rate and other parameters of the light-emitting element 13 can be associated with the above information, so as to improve the degree of freedom of the light-emitting element 13 from the software level, and the dynamic effect iteration of the whole life cycle can also be achieved through the over-the-air technology (OTA) software. For example, the whole vehicle power amplifier signal can be connected to transmit the original audio data to the built-in controller of the cup holder assembly 1, and the controller decodes the audio data and analyzes it into loudness signal, frequency signal, time domain signal, etc. The light-emitting element 13 aligns the time node of lighting with the time node of the music through the time domain signal; the number of circles of the multi-circle light-emitting element 13 is controlled by the loudness signal, for example, the higher the loudness, the more circles, that is, the loudness 0-10db corresponds to 1 circle, the loudness 10-20db corresponds to 2 circles, and so on. The brightness of the multi-circle light-emitting element 13 can also be controlled by a frequency signal, for example, a frequency of 0-900 Hz corresponds to a brightness level of 1, corresponding to a brightness of 10%, a frequency of 900-1800 Hz corresponds to a brightness level of 2, corresponding to a brightness of 20%, and so on. The luminous color of the light-emitting element 13 can be changed in the order of red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-purple at a fixed cycle rate.

[0099] Therefore, the control device of the cup holder assembly 1 can combine the push switch and the temperature control switch, the gesture recognition and the vehicle atmosphere light logic, which can create a high-tech, intelligent and caring atmosphere for the user. And the second light-emitting element 132 on the cup holder 14 cooperates with the lifting mechanism, which can echo the first light-emitting element 131 at the bottom, thus improving the sense of technology.

[0100] The above is only an implementation method of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. 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.
