Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cup holders, and specifically relates to a cup holder for a luggage case. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the improvement of living standards, traveling has been loved by more people. As an essential tool for accommodating clothes and items, the demand for luggage cases has also increased significantly. At the same time, people have put forward higher requirements for luggage cases. However, traditional luggage cases can only accommodate clothes and store items. Once the items are put in, it is extremely inconvenient to take them out every time. Especially in summer, the demand for water is relatively large, and it becomes difficult to store water cups, water bottles, etc. Either hold them in the hand or put them in the backpack, which is extremely inconvenient and burdensome. If the water cup or water bottle can be placed on the luggage case, it is obviously much easier to drag the luggage case, reducing the load of the user and making it more convenient to take.

[0003] The application number 202322238422.X discloses a hidden luggage case water cup holder that can adapt to water cups of different capacities, including a mounting seat connected to the luggage case body. A support cover plate for supporting the water cup is hinged at the lower end of the mounting seat, and a surrounding limit component for cooperating with the support cover plate to prevent the water cup from tipping over is hinged at the upper end of the mounting seat. The support cover plate and the surrounding limit component are folded or unfolded towards each other; the surrounding limit component includes a rotating shaft and two surrounding members. When an external force is applied to or removed from the surrounding member along the length direction of the rotating shaft, the surrounding member displaces or is fixed along the rotating shaft. The utility model saves space when being stored; it is convenient to place water cups or water bottles when traveling, avoiding the water cups or water bottles from being placed randomly and causing loss; the surrounding limit component can adapt to water cups of different capacities and can be fixed at a suitable position. However, the problem it has is that the adjustment is rather cumbersome and inconvenient. The reason is that its adjustment component includes a plurality of positioning grooves arranged on at least one side surface of the rotating shaft along the length direction of the rotating shaft; it also includes a positioning protrusion arranged on the connecting part for cooperating with the positioning grooves. When an external force is applied to the surrounding member along the length direction of the rotating shaft, the surrounding member displaces along the rotating shaft. When the external force applied to the surrounding member along the length direction of the rotating shaft is removed, the positioning protrusion snaps into the positioning groove. That is to say, after changing to a different water cup or water bottle, it is necessary to re-adjust the adjustment component, that is, it is necessary to re-adjust the relative positions of the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove, so the adjustment is rather inconvenient; in addition, the structure of the rotating shaft hinged and positioned with the mounting seat is extremely prone to severe wear at the hinged position of the rotating shaft due to frequent engagement and positioning, reducing its service life. Summary of the Invention

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the given embodiments, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0030] In the description of the present application, terms such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features.

[0031] For details, see Figures 1-11 As shown, the present application discloses a cup holder for a luggage, including an outer cover assembly 10, a fixing plate assembly 20 and a clamping assembly 30; among them, the fixing plate assembly 20 is used for fixed installation on the luggage. Specifically, an installation part 22 is provided on the back of the fixing plate assembly 20, and screw holes 221 are processed on the installation part 22. Actually, a depression is processed on the body of the luggage by means of thermoforming. The depth and size of the depression are adapted to the fixing plate assembly 20, and a plurality of through holes for the screws to pass through are opened at the bottom of the depression for the screws to pass through from the inside of the luggage body to the outside and be screwed into the screw holes 221 to realize the fixed installation of the fixing plate assembly 20 and the luggage body (not shown in the specific luggage drawing).

[0032] The outer cover assembly 10 and the clamping assembly 30 are flippably arranged on the fixed plate assembly 20, and the two are folded toward each other or unfolded away from each other. Specifically, the clamping assembly 30 includes symmetrically arranged jaws 31, a mounting seat 32 and an elastic element 34. One end of each jaw 31 is hinged to the mounting seat 32 and the jaw 31 is preferably arc-shaped so that it can better fit the outer contour of the cup body. The elastic element 34 keeps applying force to the jaw 31 so that the free ends of the two jaws 31 move toward each other around their hinge axis. Specifically, a hinge hole 321 is provided on the mounting seat 32, and a hinge axis 311 is provided on the jaw 31, and the hinge axis 311 is embedded in the hinge hole 321. Preferably, the elastic element 34 is a spring, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting seat 32 has a receiving cavity 32c, a spring seat 312 is arranged on the clamping jaw 31, one end of the elastic element 34 is sleeved on the spring seat 312, and the other end is in contact with the bottom of the receiving cavity 32c, the spring is in a compressed state, and the clamping jaw 31 is provided with a limiting portion 313 at a position close to the hinge shaft 311 and away from the side where the spring seat 312 is located, and a limiting protrusion 32d is arranged at the bottom of the receiving cavity 32c, so that the spring pushing the clamping jaw 31 will cause the limiting portion 313 to contact with the limiting protrusion 32d, thereby limiting the extreme position of the clamping jaw 31. A first mounting bracket 23 is provided on the fixed plate assembly 20, and the mounting seat 32 is hinged to the first mounting bracket 23. A rotating shaft 33 extends from both ends of the mounting seat 32 in the length direction. A rotating shaft hole 231 is provided on the first mounting bracket 23, and the rotating shaft 33 is embedded in the rotating shaft hole 231; so that the clamping assembly 30 can rotate around the rotating shaft hole 231 as the axis, and then the mounting seat 32 can rotate relative to the fixed plate assembly, and then the entire clamping assembly 30 can be rotated to fold and unfold. A rotating shaft 12 is provided on the two side walls near one end of the outer cover assembly 10, and a second mounting bracket 24 is provided on the fixed plate assembly 20, and a hinge hole 241 is provided on the second mounting bracket 24. The rotating shaft 12 of the outer cover assembly 10 is embedded from the outer end of the hinge hole 241, so that the outer cover assembly 10 can rotate around the hinge shaft 241 to achieve rotation for folding and unfolding. Figure 11 As shown, after the outer cover assembly 10 and the clamping assembly 30 are both unfolded, the clamping assembly 30 is located above the outer cover assembly 10, and the cup body continues to move downward after the clamping assembly 30 is opened, and the bottom of the cup body contacts the upper end surface of the outer cover assembly 10; in addition, in order to facilitate the opening force of the outer cover assembly 10, see Figures 1-3As shown, a gripping portion 11 is provided at one end of the outer cover assembly 10 away from its hinge, and an avoidance groove 10a is formed at a position corresponding to the gripping portion 11 on the fixed plate assembly 20, which facilitates the user to grasp or hold the gripping portion 11 with the hand to open the outer cover assembly 10 outward, and the avoidance groove 10a prevents the hand from being knocked. Thus, the outer cover assembly 10 serves as a support for the cup body and bears the main weight of the cup body. The clamping assembly 30 is then held around the outer peripheral surface of the cup body to keep the cup body stable and prevent it from tipping over. The clamping assembly includes symmetrically arranged clamping claws, a mounting seat, and an elastic element. One end of each clamping claw is hinged to the mounting seat, and the elastic element applies a force to the clamping claw to make the free ends of the two clamping claws move towards each other around their hinge axes. That is to say, when the cup body is placed into the clamping assembly, it will externally press the two clamping claws. Due to the action of the elastic element, the two clamping claws will hold the outer surface of the cup body. Therefore, compared with the prior art where manual adjustment is required when replacing cup bodies of different diameters, resulting in inconvenient use, the clamping assembly of the present application can adaptively rotate and open according to cup bodies of different diameters, making it more convenient and faster to use.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art of the structure of the hinged connection and positioning of the rotating shaft and the mounting seat, which causes it to be very easy to wear, resulting in difficulty in positioning and difficulty in maintaining the current positioning state. In this embodiment, the fixed plate assembly 20 is preferably provided with a positioning protrusion 22 on the surface where the clamping assembly 30 is located; on the mounting seat 32, a positioning plane 32a is provided on the side away from the clamping claw 31, and an external force is applied to rotate the clamping assembly 30. After the positioning plane 32a contacts the top of the positioning protrusion 22, the external force is removed and the clamping assembly 30 maintains the current position. Since the contact area between the positioning plane 32a and the positioning protrusion 22 is large, on the one hand, it can withstand wear for a longer time, and on the other hand, its positioning reliability and stability are better. In addition, in order to make it easier for the clamping assembly 30 to rotate to the use position, the present embodiment preferably hollows out the bottom of the positioning protrusion 22, that is, only a certain thickness is retained downward from the top of the positioning protrusion 22, and the remaining material is removed. As a result, during the rotation of the clamping assembly 30 and the mounting seat 32, and the side of the mounting seat 32 squeezes the positioning protrusion 22, the hollowed-out positioning protrusion 22 is more likely to deform due to the elastic deformation of the material of the reserved thickness itself, thereby making it easier to unfold the clamping assembly 30, and when it is rotated to the use position, that is, when the positioning plane 32a contacts the top of the positioning protrusion 22, the elastic deformation of the positioning protrusion 22 is restored, thereby ensuring the reliable positioning of the clamping assembly 30. By setting a positioning protrusion on the surface of the fixed plate assembly facing the clamping assembly, and setting a positioning plane on the mounting seat side away from the clamping claw, an external force can be applied to rotate the clamping assembly so that the positioning plane contacts the top of the positioning protrusion. Then, after the external force is removed, the clamping assembly can still maintain its current position. Compared with the structure of the prior art where the rotating shaft and the mounting seat are hinged and positioned, it has a longer service life and can reliably and stably achieve the positioning of the clamping assembly.

[0034] Of course, in order to further improve the positioning reliability of the clamping assembly 30, the present embodiment further preferably makes the top of the positioning protrusion 22 a plane, and the positioning plane 32a can be completely aligned with the plane. Then, when the clamping assembly 30 is unfolded to the use position, the positioning plane 32a is aligned with the plane at the top of the positioning protrusion 22, so that the clamping assembly 30 can be reliably maintained in the current position after being fully unfolded, thereby making the cup body more stable. In addition, considering that in the process of unfolding and folding the clamping assembly 30, it is necessary to avoid serious jamming and difficulty in rotation due to the right angles between the positioning plane and the two side surfaces. It is preferred that the positioning plane 32a and the two adjacent side surfaces are transitioned through the arc surface 32b, so that the rotation is smoother and the problem of jamming and difficulty in rotation is solved.

[0035] In addition, during the dragging process of the luggage case, vibrations are inevitable. After folding, the outer cover assembly 10 is located outside. If the outer cover assembly 10 cannot be locked in the folded position after folding, it is very likely to unfold with vibrations, thus reducing consumers' evaluation and recognition of its quality and affecting the use experience. Therefore, a positioning hole 322 is formed in the mounting seat 32 of this embodiment, and a positioning post 13 is provided on the outer cover assembly 10. The positioning post 13 and the positioning hole 322 are in a tight fit. That is to say, after the clamping assembly 30 and the outer cover assembly 10 are folded in sequence, the positioning post 13 of the outer cover assembly 10 will be inserted tightly into the positioning hole 322. Therefore, when it needs to be opened, sufficient external force needs to be applied to it to enable the positioning post 13 to be disengaged from the positioning hole 322, thus solving the problem that the outer cover assembly 10 is likely to unfold due to insufficient limiting during vibrations. Of course, in order to further improve the limiting ability of the outer cover assembly 10 and keep it in the folded state. In this embodiment, positioning bumps 14 are preferably symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the outer cover assembly 10; the outer end face of the rotating shaft 33 is lower than the outer end face of the rotating shaft hole 231 inward. After the outer cover assembly 10 and the clamping assembly 30 are folded, the positioning bumps 14 are snapped into the rotating shaft hole 231 from the side where the outer end face of the rotating shaft hole 231 is located. Thus, by partially or completely snapping the positioning bumps 14 into the rotating shaft hole 231, the limiting ability of the outer cover assembly 10 is further improved, and the ability of the outer cover assembly 10 to maintain the folded position is better ensured.

[0036] In addition, considering the extensive application of current electronic products, it is inevitable to charge electronic products during travel to maintain the battery power of the electronic products. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is preferred that the fixing plate assembly 20 is provided with a device interface channel 25, such as a type-c interface and / or a USB interface. A battery (such as a lithium battery) can be preset in the luggage case or a power bank can be placed in the luggage case, and the above interfaces are used to connect with external electronic products, which provides hardware conditions for the function expansion of the luggage case and makes the use of the luggage case more convenient.

[0037] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
