[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this utility model have the same meaning as those commonly understood by technicians in the technical field of this utility model. The terms used in the specification of this utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this utility model. The term "and / or" used in this utility model includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0034] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the utility model provides a lifting cup holder 100, including a shell 10, a lifting tray 20 and a first lifting mechanism.

[0036] The housing 10 has a receiving cavity, and the lifting tray 20 is received in the receiving cavity. The first lifting mechanism includes a clutch 42, and the clutch 42 is connected between the lifting tray 20 and the housing 10. The clutch 42 is suitable for sliding relative to the housing 10 so that the lifting tray 20 can be lifted relative to the housing 10; the clutch 42 is also suitable for being connected and fixed with the housing 10 and the lifting tray 20 so that the lifting tray 20 can be fixed relative to the housing 10.

[0037] The housing 10 is used as a mounting and supporting base for other components. The housing 10 can be installed in a vehicle body to achieve the arrangement of the lifting cup holder 100 on the vehicle.

[0038] Optionally, the shell 10 includes a base 11 and a cup shell 12, the base 11 is provided with a first through hole 111, the cup shell 12 is connected to the base 11, the cup shell 12 encloses a central cavity, the first through hole 111 is connected to the central cavity and together constitute a receiving cavity, the inner wall surface of the first through hole 111 is flush with the inner wall surface of the central cavity, so that the receiving cavity forms a complete and unified inner wall, which facilitates the smooth movement of the lifting tray 20 in the receiving cavity.

[0039] Optionally, the cup shell 12 includes a first shell 121 and a second shell 122, which are detachably connected, and the shapes and structures of the two shells may be the same or different, and the first shell 121 and the second shell 122 jointly enclose the central cavity. Exemplarily, the cross-sections of the first shell 121 and the second shell 122 are semicircular arcs, and both are thin shell structures.

[0040] Optionally, the base 11 is further provided with a second through hole 112, which is spaced apart from the first through hole 111. The lifting cup holder 100 further includes a fixed tray 30, which is received in the second through hole 112 and connected and fixed to the base 11. The fixed tray 30 received in the second through hole 112 can also function as a cup holder.

[0041] Optionally, the housing 10 further includes a base 13 , which is connected to an end of the cup shell 12 away from the base 11 and closes the opening of the central cavity.

[0042] The lifting tray 20 is suitable for moving in the receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity extends in a straight line. After the lifting cup holder 100 is installed on the vehicle, the receiving cavity is set to extend in the vertical direction, so that the lifting tray 20 moves in the vertical direction, so that the lifting tray 20 can drive the carried cups, bottles, etc. to move in the vertical direction to realize the lifting function.

[0043] Optionally, the shape of the lifting tray 20 is adapted to the shape of the receiving cavity, that is, the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the lifting cup holder 100 is adapted to the shape of the surrounding side walls of the receiving cavity. For example, in the cross section of the lifting cup holder 100, the surrounding side walls of the receiving cavity form a circle, and the outer peripheral surface of the lifting cup holder 100 also forms a circle, and the centers of the two circles are concentric. In this way, the surrounding side walls of the receiving cavity can limit the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting tray 20, and prevent the lifting tray 20 from moving relative to the radial direction. Furthermore, the outer peripheral surface of the lifting tray 20 can contact the surrounding side walls of the receiving cavity and is suitable for relative sliding, so that the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting tray 20 is more stable and reliable.

[0044] Optionally, the lifting tray 20 includes a base 21 and a carrier 22, both of which are arranged in the receiving cavity, and the base 21 is arranged closer to the base 13 than the carrier 22. The carrier 22 can be detachably connected to the base 21, or the carrier 22 can be placed on the base 21, without limitation. The outer peripheral shapes of the base 21 and the carrier 22 can be adapted to the shapes of the surrounding side walls of the receiving cavity, and further, both can slide relative to the surrounding side walls of the receiving cavity. The base 21 is used to be connected to the first lifting mechanism to drive the carrier 22 to move, and the carrier 22 is used to carry water cups, bottles, etc.

[0045] Optionally, the housing 10 further includes a decorative shell 14, which is disposed on the end surface of the base 11 facing away from the cup shell 12, and is suitable for covering the base 11 and exposing the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112, so that the lifting cup holder 100 has a complete, unified and aesthetic appearance.

[0046] The structure of the first lifting mechanism is not limited in the embodiment of the utility model. It is used to drive the lifting tray 20 to perform lifting movement, and can be suspended at any position during the lifting process, that is, the lifting tray 20 can be relatively fixed with the housing 10 at any position through the clutch 42. The clutch 42 is not limited in the embodiment of the utility model. Any feasible structure is acceptable, and the connection method of the clutch 42 with the lifting tray 20 and the housing 10 is not limited. Exemplarily, the clutch 42 is movably connected to the first shell 121 of the cup shell 12, and is fixedly connected to the lifting tray 20. The clutch 42 is used to be connected, fixed or relatively moved with the first shell 121. When the clutch 42 is connected and fixed with the first shell 121, the lifting tray 20 is in a fixed state relative to the housing 10. At this time, the lifting tray 20 can be located at the lowest point, the highest point, and any position between the lowest point and the highest point during the lifting process; when the clutch 42 moves relative to the first shell 121, the lifting tray 20 can perform lifting movement. In this way, the lifting cup holder 100 can be suspended at any position during the lifting process, which is suitable for taking and placing water cups, bottles, etc. of various heights.

[0047] Currently, the lifting tray 20 of the conventional lifting cup holder 100 can only be fixed relative to the housing 10 at the lowest point and the highest point, and cannot be suspended at the middle position. The functions are not rich enough and the user experience cannot be further improved.

[0048] The lifting cup holder 100 provided by the embodiment of the utility model is provided with a clutch 42 of the first lifting mechanism, and the clutch 42 is suitable for sliding relative to the shell 10 so that the lifting tray 20 can be lifted and lowered relative to the shell 10; the clutch 42 is also suitable for being connected and fixed with the shell 10 and the lifting tray 20 so that the lifting tray 20 can be fixed relative to the shell 10, so that the lifting cup holder 100 can be fixed relative to the shell 10 at the lowest point and the highest point, and can also hover at any position in the middle, realizing the stepless lifting function, enriching the function of the lifting cup holder 100, and can further enhance the user experience.

[0049] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 The shell 10 is provided with a first slide groove, which connects the receiving cavity and the external space of the shell 10. The first slide groove extends along the center line direction of the receiving cavity, and the clutch 42 is connected to the lifting tray 20 at the first slide groove.

[0050] Specifically, the first shell 121 is provided with a first slide groove penetrating along its thickness direction, and the first slide groove may or may not penetrate at least one end of the first shell 121 along the first direction. Optionally, the first slide groove penetrates one end of the first shell 121 facing away from the base 11 .

[0051] Optionally, the lifting tray 20 can extend from the first slide groove to the outside of the first shell 121 and be connected to the clutch 42. Specifically, the bottom bracket 21 includes a lifting portion 211 and a protruding portion 212, the lifting portion 211 is connected to the carrier 22, the outer peripheral surface of the lifting portion 211 is adapted to the surrounding side walls of the receiving cavity, the protruding portion 212 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the lifting portion 211, and extends from the first slide groove to the outside of the first shell 121, and the protruding portion 212 is connected to the clutch 42.

[0052] Alternatively, the clutch 42 may extend from the first sliding groove into the receiving cavity and be connected to the base 21 .

[0053] Optionally, the clutch 42 is connected to the base 21 via other intermediate structures. Alternatively, the clutch 42 is directly connected to the base 21 .

[0054] By setting the first slide groove, the lifting tray 20 and the clutch 42 can be connected at the first slide groove, and the lifting tray 20 can be limited to perform lifting and lowering movement along the extension direction of the first slide groove. The structure is simple, and the side wall of the first slide groove can also play a guiding and limiting role.

[0055] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The lifting cup holder 100 further includes a first slide rail 51 and a first mating rail 52. The first slide rail 51 and the first mating rail 52 are both arranged on the outer periphery of the housing 10 and are arranged relatively spaced in the circumferential direction of the housing 10. A second slide groove is formed between the first slide rail 51 and the first mating rail 52, and the second slide groove is connected to the first slide groove and extends in the same direction as the first slide groove. The clutch 42 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 51 and matingly connected to the first mating rail 52.

[0056] The surface of the first slide rail 51 facing the first matching rail 52 extends along the extension direction of the first slide groove (i.e., the extension direction of the center line of the receiving cavity), and the clutch 42 is slidably connected with the surface of the first slide rail 51 facing the first matching rail 52. The first slide rail 51 plays a guiding and limiting role, so that the clutch 42 has only the freedom to move along the direction of the first slide groove, but cannot move in other directions. The clutch 42 is connected with the first matching rail 52, which can be a sliding connection, a rotation connection, etc. The part where the clutch 42 is slidably connected with the first slide rail 51 is different from the part where the first matching rail 52 is matched, and the clutch 42 also has a part for connecting with the lifting tray 20 that is different from the above two parts. During the lifting process of the lifting tray 20, the clutch 42 is driven to follow the movement, and the first slide rail 51 limits the clutch 42 to ensure that it moves along the second slide groove, and the first matching rail 52 is connected with the clutch 42 so that the clutch 42 can be relatively fixed with the first matching rail 52 to enable the lifting tray 20 to hover. The first slide rail 51 and the first matching rail 52 limit the freedom of movement of the lifting tray 20 and the clutch 42, so that they can only move along the extension direction of the second slide groove (i.e., the extension direction of the first slide groove, the extension direction of the center line of the accommodating cavity), but cannot move in other directions.

[0057] Optionally, a first mating portion 521 is provided on the surface of the first mating rail 52 facing the first sliding rail 51, and the clutch 42 includes a main body portion 421 and a second mating portion 422, the main body portion 421 is slidably connected to the surface of the first sliding rail 51 facing the first mating rail 52, the second mating portion 422 is matingly connected to the first mating portion 521, and the second mating portion 422 is suitable for relative fixation or relative rotation with the first mating portion 521.

[0058] Specifically, the main body 421 is fixedly connected to the lifting tray 20 on one hand, and is slidably connected to the first slide rail 51 on the other hand, and the second matching part 422 can rotate relative to the main body 421. The first matching part 521 can be a rack, and the second matching part 422 can be a gear. The rack of the first matching part 521 is fixed on the first matching rail 52, and the gear and the rack are meshed. During the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting tray 20, on the one hand, the main body 421 follows the lifting and lowering of the lifting tray 20 and slides relative to the first slide rail 51, and on the other hand, the gear of the second matching part 422 rotates on the rack of the first matching part 521, which can ensure that the clutch 42 moves stably in the second slide groove. Any feasible clutch structure (not shown) can be set inside the clutch 42. The clutch structure includes but is not limited to springs, friction plates, hydraulic devices, etc. When the clutch structure is in a locked state, the second matching portion 422 is fixed relative to the main body 421, so that the main body 421 and the second matching portion 422 cannot rotate relative to each other. The second matching portion 422 is stuck with the first matching portion 521 so that the gear of the second matching portion 422 cannot rotate on the rack of the first matching portion 521, so that the clutch 42 can be fixed relative to the housing 10 at any position, and the hovering function of the lifting tray 20 at any position can be achieved. When the clutch structure is in an unlocked state, the second matching portion 422 can rotate relative to the main body 421, so that the lifting tray 20 can be lifted and lowered. Regarding how the clutch 42 switches between the locked main body and the unlocked state, this embodiment does not limit it, and any feasible structure can be used.

[0059] Optional, reference Figure 2 The clutch 42 further includes an unlocking portion 423, which switches between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the second matching portion 422 rotates relative to the first matching portion 521, and in the second position, the second matching portion 422 is relatively fixed relative to the first matching portion 521. The lifting cup holder 100 further includes an unlocking member 60, which is connected to the housing 10, and the unlocking member 60 is suitable for adjusting the unlocking member 60 to switch from the second position to the first position.

[0060] The unlocking portion 423 can be connected to any one of the main body 421, the second matching portion 422, and other structures inside the clutch 42, without limitation. The unlocking portion 423 can be switched between the first position and the second position by moving, rotating, or the like.

[0061] The unlocking member 60 may be of any feasible structure, and the unlocking member 60 may be adjusted to switch from the second position to the first position by means of pure mechanical unlocking, electronic unlocking, and electronic-mechanical combined unlocking.

[0062] Optional, reference Figure 2The unlocking member 60 includes an operating part 61, a driving part 62 and an adjusting part 63 which are sequentially connected in the extension direction of the center line of the receiving cavity. The operating part 61 can be exposed to the decorative shell 14 so that the user can perform operations such as pressing. The driving part 62 and the adjusting part 63 are connected in a transmission manner so that the driving part 62 can drive the adjusting part 63 to rotate. Optionally, the adjusting part 63 includes a rotating rod 631 and a baffle 632. The rotating rod 631 is connected to the driving member. The baffle 632 is arranged on the periphery of the rotating rod 631, and the length of the baffle 632 extending along the center line of the receiving cavity is substantially equal to the length of the first slide groove and the second slide groove. Pressing the operating part 61 causes the driving part 62 to drive the rotating rod 631 to rotate, driving the baffle 632 to rotate, and the baffle 632 can push the unlocking part 423 to move or rotate, thereby driving the unlocking part 423 to switch from the second position to the first position, thereby realizing the switching of the lifting tray 20 from the hovering state to the lifting state.

[0063] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 The clutch 42 is also suitable for applying damping to the lifting and lowering of the lifting tray 20, and the direction of the damping force applied by the clutch 42 is the extension direction of the first slide slot. The clutch 42 has the dual functions of clutching and damping, realizing the functional integration of the same component, and improving the integration compared to at least two components of the clutch structure and the damping structure that are separately provided.

[0064] Specifically, a damping mechanism (not shown) may also be provided inside the clutch 42. The damping mechanism includes but is not limited to friction plates, hydraulic damping devices, etc. During the rotation of the second mating portion 422 relative to the main body 421, the damping mechanism provides damping for the relative rotation of the second mating portion 422 and the main body 421 to reduce the speed of relative rotation between the second mating portion 422 and the main body 421, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering speed of the damper 44 and the lifting tray 20 to achieve uniform lifting and lowering of the lifting tray 20 as much as possible.

[0065] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 The first lifting mechanism further includes a first coil spring 41 , one end of the first coil spring 41 is connected and fixed to the housing 10 , and the other end of the first coil spring 41 is connected and fixed to the lifting tray 20 .

[0066] Specifically, one end of the first coil spring 41 is connected and fixed to the base 11, and the other end is connected and fixed to the bottom bracket 21. The first coil spring 41 can drive the bottom bracket 21 to rise and fall, thereby driving the carrier 22 to rise and fall synchronously. Compared with the traditional compression spring, the tension provided by the coil spring has a smaller variation range, and can even achieve a constant tension, which is conducive to the stability of the force applied to the lifting tray 20. However, the elastic force of the compression spring is not easy to control, which is not conducive to being used as a driving force source for the lifting tray 20.

[0067] Optionally, the first coil spring 41 includes a rotating shaft 411 and an elastic band 412, the rotating shaft 411 is connected to the shell 10, the elastic band 412 is suitable for being wound around the rotating shaft 411, one end of the elastic band 412 extends from the rotating shaft 411 and is connected to the lifting tray 20, and the direction in which the elastic band 412 extends from the rotating shaft 411 is the same as the lifting direction of the lifting tray 20.

[0068] Specifically, the rotating shaft 411 is connected to the base 11, and specifically, the rotating shaft 411 and the base 11 are rotatably connected or fixedly connected. The elastic band 412 is a metal band, such as a stainless steel band. One end of the elastic band 412 is connected and fixed to the rotating shaft 411, and the elastic band 412 can be completely wound around the rotating shaft 411 in the initial state. When the other end of the elastic band 412 is connected to the lifting tray 20, the elastic band 412 has already produced a certain elastic deformation. When the lifting tray 20 is raised to the highest position, the other end of the elastic band 412 is closest to the rotating shaft 411, and the elastic deformation of the elastic band 412 is the smallest. When the lifting tray 20 is lowered to the lowest position, the other end of the elastic band 412 is farthest from the rotating shaft 411, and the elastic deformation of the elastic band 412 is the largest. When the lifting tray 20 is in any position, the elastic band 412 has a movement tendency to pull the lifting tray 20 up.

[0069] The direction in which the elastic band 412 extends from the rotating shaft 411 is the same as the extension direction of the first slide groove, so that the direction of the pulling force applied by the elastic band 412 to the lifting tray 20 is the same as the extension direction of the first slide groove, that is, the same as the extension direction of the center line of the accommodating cavity. In this way, the pulling force of the first coil spring 41 applied to the lifting tray 20 is the same as the direction of the lifting movement of the lifting tray 20, so as to prevent the lifting tray 20 from being offset by forces in other directions and colliding with the shell 10 to generate noise and wear.

[0070] Optionally, during the lifting movement of the lifting tray 20 , the direction of the resistance exerted by the clutch 42 on the lifting tray 20 and the direction of the elastic force exerted by the first coil spring 41 on the lifting tray 20 are both the extension direction of the first sliding groove.

[0071] Specifically, when the lifting tray 20 is at any position, the clutch 42 is located on the side of the first coil spring 41 facing the base 13. The direction of the resistance provided by the clutch 42 is always opposite to the movement direction of the lifting tray 20, that is, when the lifting tray 20 is raised, the resistance of the clutch 42 is downward, and when the lifting tray 20 is lowered, the resistance of the clutch 42 is upward.

[0072] The direction of the elastic force applied by the first coil spring 41 to the lifting tray 20 is the pulling force of the elastic band 412 mentioned above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0073] The direction of the resistance applied by the clutch 42 to the lifting tray 20 and the direction of the elastic force applied by the first coil spring 41 to the lifting tray 20 are both the extension direction of the first slide groove, so that the external force applied to the lifting tray 20 is in the extension direction of the first slide groove, that is, the direction of the center line of the accommodating cavity, and the lifting tray 20 is subjected to uniform force. In this way, the lifting tray 20 is prevented from being subjected to forces in other directions, which may cause the lifting tray 20 to deviate and collide with the shell 10 to generate noise and wear.

[0074] Optionally, the first coil spring 41 and the clutch 42 are connected to the lifting tray 20 at the same position.

[0075] Specifically, taking the extension portion 212 of the bottom bracket 21 extending out of the first slide slot as an example, the end of the elastic band 412 of the first coil spring 41 away from the rotating shaft 411 and the clutch 42 are both connected at the same position of the extension portion 212. In this way, the extension directions of the elastic force of the first coil spring 41 and the resistance of the clutch 42 coincide with each other, which is conducive to further improving the force uniformity of the lifting tray 20. At the same time, the part of the lifting tray 20 used to connect with the first coil spring 41 and the clutch 42 is saved, which is conducive to reducing space occupation.

[0076] Optional, reference Figure 2 The base 13 may be provided with a locking mechanism (not shown). When the lifting tray 20 is at the lowest point of the lifting, the lifting tray 20 may be locked by the locking mechanism so that the lifting tray 20 remains fixed at the position. At the highest point, the lifting tray 20 may be limited by the first slide groove and the second slide groove. At any other position between the lowest point and the highest point, the lifting cup holder 100 may be suspended by the clutch 42 to carry water cups, bottles, etc. at different heights, and may be adapted to water cups, bottles, etc. at different heights. The specific structure of the locking mechanism provided on the base 13 is not limited. The locking structure may lock the lifting tray 20 in any feasible manner such as snap connection and magnetic attraction, and is not limited. The locking mechanism provided on the base 13 may be unlocked by the aforementioned unlocking member 60, or an additional unlocking mechanism (not shown) may be provided. The unlocking mechanism may be separated from the lifting tray 20 from the locked state by purely mechanical unlocking, electronic unlocking, and electronic-mechanical composite unlocking, so that the lifting tray 20 may be lifted and lowered again. The unlocking mechanism may be exposed on the decorative shell 14 so that the user can perform operations such as pressing to unlock the door.

[0077] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The lifting cup holder 100 further includes a second lifting mechanism. The second lifting mechanism includes a second coil spring 43 and a damper 44. One end of the second coil spring 43 is connected and fixed to the housing 10, and the other end is connected and fixed to the lifting tray 20. The damper 44 is connected and fixed to the lifting tray 20, and is movably connected to the housing 10. The second coil spring 43 and the first coil spring 41 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center line of the receiving chamber, and the damper 44 and the clutch 42 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center line of the receiving chamber.

[0078] The structure of the second lifting mechanism of the embodiment of the utility model is similar to that of the first lifting mechanism, and the second lifting mechanism can generally refer to the structure of the aforementioned first lifting mechanism. The difference is that the second lifting mechanism uses a damper 44, while the first lifting mechanism is a clutch 42. In this embodiment, the structure of the damper 44 can be similar to that of the clutch 42, and the damper 44 is used to provide a damping force when the lifting tray 20 is lifting and lowering, so that the lifting tray 20 can be lifted and lowered stably. Optionally, the damper 44 can also have a clutch function similar to the aforementioned clutch 42.

[0079] Correspondingly, the structure of the shell 10 used to connect with the second lifting mechanism can also refer to the aforementioned structure of the shell 10 connected with the first lifting mechanism. For example, a third slide groove can be opened in the second shell 122, and a second slide rail and a second matching rail are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second shell 122, and a fourth slide groove is formed between the second slide rail and the second matching rail. The third slide groove is similar to the first slide groove, and the fourth slide groove is similar to the second slide groove. Reference can be made to it and no further details will be given.

[0080] In this embodiment, the second coil spring 43 and the first coil spring 41 are symmetrically arranged, and the damper 44 and the clutch 42 are symmetrically arranged, so that the combined force of the elastic force applied to the lifting tray 20 by the second coil spring 43 and the first coil spring 41 passes through the center of mass of the lifting tray 20, and the combined force of the resistance applied to the lifting tray 20 by the damper 44 and the clutch 42 also passes through the center of mass of the lifting tray 20, which can enable the lifting tray 20 to be lifted and lowered stably and avoid displacement or even flipping due to uneven force.

[0081] Optional, reference Figure 2 , the lifting cup holder 100 may further include a first shading sheet 15 and a second shading sheet 16. The first shading sheet 15 is disposed at the first slide groove and is connected and fixed to the first shell 121, and the first shading sheet 15 may have a slit so that the lifting tray 20 and the first lifting mechanism can be connected and lifted through the slit. The second shading sheet 16 is disposed at the third slide groove and is connected and fixed to the second shell 122, and the second shading sheet 16 may have a slit so that the lifting tray 20 and the second lifting mechanism can be connected and lifted through the slit. The first shading sheet 15 and the second shading sheet 16 are both used to block light, prevent external light from entering the receiving cavity through the first slide groove and the third slide groove, and improve the quality of the lifting cup holder 100.

[0082] The following describes a method for using the lifting cup holder 100 according to an embodiment.

[0083] 1. The process of the lifting tray 20 descending: Place the cup on the lifting tray 20 and press it down. The lifting tray 20 begins to descend under the combined force of the cup and the lifting tray 20, the pressure of the user, the elastic band 412 of the first coil spring 41 and the second coil spring 43 unfolding and providing upward pulling force, and the upward resistance of the clutch 42 and the damper 44. During the descent process, no further downward pressure is applied at any position and the lifting tray 20 remains stationary. The clutch 42 works to relatively fix the lifting tray 20 and the housing 10, remove the pressure of the user, and realize the suspension of the lifting cup holder 100. After pressing the operating part 61 of the unlocking member 60, the clutch 42 switches the relatively fixed state of the lifting tray 20 and the housing 10 to the state where the lifting tray 20 can be lifted and lowered. The lifting tray 20 can continue to descend by pressing down. After descending to the lowest point, the locking mechanism of the lifting tray 20 and the base 13 is locked and fixed at the lowest point. When the lifting tray 20 is at the lowest point, the first coil spring 41 and the second coil spring 43 are in a state of storing full elastic potential energy.

[0084] 2. The lifting process of the lifting tray 20: the unlocking mechanism is operated to unlock the locking mechanism on the base 13, and the locking mechanism releases the lifting tray 20. The elastic band 412 of the first coil spring 41 and the second coil spring 43 contracts and provides an upward pulling force. The lifting tray 20 begins to rise after overcoming the water cup and its own gravity as well as the downward resistance provided by the clutch 42 and the damper 44. At any position of the rise, the user intervenes to keep the lifting tray 20 motionless, and the clutch 42 works to relatively fix the lifting tray 20 and the shell 10, remove the user's pressure, and realize the hovering of the lifting cup holder 100; after pressing the operating part 61 of the unlocking member 60, the clutch 42 switches the relatively fixed state of the lifting tray 20 and the shell 10 to a state where the lifting tray 20 can be lifted and lowered, and the lifting tray 20 continues to rise driven by the upward pulling force of the first coil spring 41 and the second coil spring 43. After reaching the highest point, the lifting tray 20 abuts against the inner wall at the top of the first slide groove and the second slide groove of the shell 10, so that the lifting tray 20 is fixed at the highest point. When the lifting tray 20 is at the highest point, the elastic potential energy of the first coil spring 41 and the second coil spring 43 is released to a minimum state.

[0085] During the above-mentioned rising and falling process of the lifting tray 20, it is also possible to overcome the friction between the lifting tray 20 and the shell 10, the clutch 42, the friction between the first coil spring 41 and the first slide rail 51 and the first mating rail 52, the damper 44, the friction between the second coil spring 43 and the second slide rail and the second mating rail, etc., which will not be elaborated.
