[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a pop-up cup holder structure on a follow-up armrest of an automobile seat. The armrest structure 2 is connected to the seat backrest frame 1 through a follow-up mechanism 3. The entire cup holder structure adopts the form of a box drawer cup holder, which is installed in the follow-up armrest on the side of the seat. It mainly includes an outer shell 21, an inner shell 24, a drawer cup holder 23, an upper cover 22, a clamping mechanism, a locking mechanism and a pop-up mechanism. The outer shell 21 is used to cover the mechanism parts inside the armrest. The inner shell 24 is installed on the outer shell 21 through a positioning pin and a screw 2302. A movement slideway is provided between the inner shell 24 and the drawer cup holder 23;

[0030] The drawer cup holder 23 not only has the functions of sliding movement and placing the cup holder, but also integrates the traditional front armrest cover and the drawer into one piece, which is integrally formed; the top of the drawer cup holder 23 is provided with a claw mounting hole and a limiting structure for installing the clamping mechanism. The drawer cup holder 23 can move outward along the movement slideway of the inner housing 24 under the action of the ejection mechanism. The inner housing 24 assists and restricts the sliding of the drawer cup holder 23. The upper cover body 22 cooperates with the top of the inner housing 24 and installs the locking maze 2211. The damper 2303 is installed at the bottom of the drawer cup holder 23, and a toothed groove guide rail is arranged at the bottom of the inner housing 24, which can play a guiding role for the damper 2303;

[0031] The locking structure includes a locking maze 2211 and a locking pin 2301. The locking pin 2301 is provided on the drawer cup holder 23. When it is completely pushed into the inner housing 24, the locking pin 2301 on the drawer cup holder 23 is locked in the locking groove of the locking maze 2211; when the front end of the drawer cup holder 23 is pushed again, the locking pin 2301 on the drawer cup holder 23 is unlocked in the locking groove of the locking mechanism;

[0032] The ejection mechanism includes a spring seat 2304 and a spring 2305. One end of the spring seat 2304 is connected to the spring 2305. The spring seat 2304 is clamped on the drawer cup holder 23. The other end of the spring 2305 is connected and clamped in the card slot below the inner housing 24 to ensure that the drawer cup holder 23 can be ejected smoothly;

[0033] The clamping mechanism includes a left claw 2306, a right claw 2307, a left claw shaft 2308, a right claw shaft 2309, a left buffer nail 2310, a right buffer nail 2311, a left torsion spring 2312 and a right torsion spring 2313; one ends of the left torsion spring 2312 and the right torsion spring 2313 are respectively connected to the limiting structures on both sides of the drawer cup holder 23, and the other ends of the left torsion spring 2312 and the right torsion spring 2313 are respectively connected to the left claw 2306 and the right claw 2307; the left buffer nail 2310 and the right buffer nail 2311 are respectively installed on one side of the left and right limiting structures of the drawer cup holder 23. Under the pre-tightening force of the left torsion spring 2312 and the right torsion spring 2313, the left claw 2306 and the right claw 2307 are always in a pre-tightened state; when placing a cup, the left claw 2306 and the right claw 2307 will stretch due to the contour shape of the cup to achieve the purpose of clamping the cup; when taking away the cup, the left claw 2306 and the right claw 2307 return to their original states due to the pre-tightening force of the left torsion spring 2312 and the right torsion spring 2313. During the process of returning to the original state, due to the existence of the left buffer nail 2310 and the right buffer nail 2311, the left claw 2306 first contacts the left buffer nail 2310, and the right claw 2307 first contacts the right buffer nail 2311. The left claw 2306 and the right claw 2307 do not directly contact the drawer cup holder 23 first, so as to prevent abnormal noise.

[0034] Refer toFigures 3 to 4 It can be seen that the front appearance part of the armrest is the front end of the drawer cup holder 23. The periphery of it cooperates with the outer shell 21. Both sides of the front ends of the drawer cup holder 23 and the outer shell 21 are made into a stepped shape. The outer contour of both sides of the front end of the drawer cup holder 23 is smaller than the inner contour of both sides of the front end of the outer shell 21. There is a gap in the X direction (the moving direction of the drawer cup holder 23) between the stepped part at the front end of the drawer cup holder 23 and the stepped part at the front end of the outer shell 21. Since the labyrinth pin needs a backward pressing stroke in the labyrinth to unlock, the size of this gap is exactly the unlocking stroke of the labyrinth, which can unlock the unlocking mechanism when pressing the front end of the drawer cup holder 23, enabling the drawer cup holder 23 to pop out smoothly. Making it into a stepped structure not only ensures the smooth unlocking of the unlocking mechanism but also makes it so that when the drawer cup holder 23 in the armrest pop-up cup holder mechanism is fully pushed into the cup holder housing and locked by the locking mechanism, there is no external leakage structure, and the appearance is beautiful.

[0035] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In this armrest pop-up cup holder structure, after the drawer cup holder 23 is unlocked, pressing the front end of the drawer cup holder 23 again until the drawer cup holder 23 is fully pushed into the inner shell 24, the locking mechanism locks; among them Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the armrest when the drawer cup holder 23 is closed, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the armrest when the drawer cup holder 23 is opened.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: When the drawer cup holder 23 is fully pushed into the inner shell 24, the locking pin 2301 on the drawer cup holder 23 is locked in the locking groove of the locking labyrinth 2211; pushing the front end of the drawer cup holder 23 again, the locking pin 2301 on the drawer cup holder 23 is unlocked in the locking groove of the locking mechanism; among them, one end of the torsion spring seat 2304 in the pop-up mechanism is connected to the torsion spring 2305. The torsion spring seat 2304 is clamped on the drawer cup holder 23, and the other end of the torsion spring 2305 is connected and clamped in the card slot below the inner shell 24 to ensure that the drawer cup holder 23 can pop out smoothly; when placing a cup, the left claw 2306 and the right claw 2307 will stretch due to the contour shape of the cup to achieve the purpose of clamping the cup; when taking away the cup, the left claw 2306 and the right claw 2307 return to their original states due to the pre-tightening force of the left torsion spring 2312 and the right torsion spring 2313. During the process of returning to the original state, due to the existence of the left buffer pin 2310 and the right buffer pin 2311, the left claw 2306 first contacts the left buffer pin 2310, and the right claw 2307 first contacts the right buffer pin 2311. The left claw 2306 and the right claw 2307 do not directly contact the drawer cup holder 23 first, so as to prevent abnormal noises.

[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
