Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cup holders, and in particular to a cup holder assembly structure and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the annual growth rate of the vehicle market is getting higher and higher, and people's requirements for various vehicle parameters are getting higher and higher. They not only require the vehicle's driving performance, but also require the vehicle to have ease of operation, practical storage space and aesthetics when driving.

[0003] However, most vehicles are limited by the layout of the sub-instrument panel and the internal structure, and require a specific shape to arrange the conventional embedded cup holder. Most vehicles on the market will place the cup holder in front of the armrest, but storing a cup here may collide with the elbow while driving, and to some extent affect the storage space above the sub-instrument panel bridge hole. Some vehicles will also place the cup holder in the bridge hole, which will increase the storage space above the bridge hole, but the corresponding layout space in the bridge hole will be affected. In either case, the cup holder will occupy a fixed space in the car when not in use. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a cup holder assembly structure and a vehicle to solve the problem that the existing cup holders occupy a fixed space in the vehicle when not in use.

[0005] The cup holder assembly structure provided in the present application is installed in the assembly groove, and the cup holder assembly structure includes a fixing ring, a fixing bracket and a damping shaft. The fixing ring is rotatably connected to the fixing bracket through the damping shaft, and the fixing bracket is fixedly connected to the side wall of the assembly groove; when the cup holder assembly structure is in a folded state, the fixing ring is attached to the side wall of the assembly groove; when the cup holder assembly structure is in an open state, the fixing ring is rotated at a preset angle relative to the side wall of the assembly groove, and is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the assembly groove, so that the cup body can pass through the fixing ring and be placed on the bottom wall of the assembly groove.

[0006] In one of the embodiments, the fixing ring includes a cover plate, a frame and a base, the cover plate and the base are arranged to form a receiving cavity, the frame is installed in the receiving cavity, and the fixing ring is connected to the damping shaft through the frame.

[0007] In one of the embodiments, the cup holder assembly structure further includes a clamping rubber pad, which is disposed on the inner wall of the fixing ring so that the fixing ring can clamp the cup body through the clamping rubber pad.

[0008] In one embodiment, the clamping rubber pad includes a first section, a second section and a third section which are spaced apart along the circumference of the fixing ring, and the first section, the second section and the third section are respectively clamped between the fixing ring and the cup body.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fixing bracket includes a rotating shaft connecting portion and a main body portion. The main body portion is fixedly connected to the side wall of the assembly groove through a fastener. One end of the rotating shaft connecting portion is connected to the main body portion, and the other end extends in a direction away from the bottom wall of the assembly groove. And the end of the rotating shaft connecting portion away from the bottom wall of the assembly groove is connected to the fixing ring through a damping rotating shaft.

[0010] In one embodiment, the rotating shaft connecting portion and the main body portion are an integrally injection-molded structure.

[0011] In one embodiment, the damping rotating shaft includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft arranged coaxially. The rotating shaft connecting portion is connected to both ends of the fixing ring through the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft respectively.

[0012] In one embodiment, the number of fixing rings is multiple. The multiple fixing rings are respectively distributed along the width direction of the side wall of the assembly groove, and the multiple fixing rings rotate independently relative to the side wall of the assembly groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, when the cup holder assembly structure is in the open state, the fixing ring and the bottom wall of the assembly groove are arranged in parallel.

[0014] The present application also provides a vehicle, which includes the cup holder assembly structure described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, for the cup holder assembly structure and the vehicle provided by the present application, with such a setting, the fixing ring can play a better limiting and fixing role on the cup body, and there is no need to additionally set a bridge hole structure at the assembly groove, greatly reducing the processing difficulty of the assembly groove and being beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

[0016] Further, it can be understood that the working principle of the damping rotating shaft is to generate frictional force by the mutual extrusion between the gaskets. The magnitude of this frictional force can be controlled by adjusting the number of gaskets and the tightness of the nuts.

[0017] Therefore, when the fixing ring is rotatably connected to the fixing bracket through the damping rotating shaft, it can ensure that the fixing ring stays stably at the specified position after stopping rotating and will not fall due to shaking, thus greatly improving the use stability of the fixing ring and the cup holder assembly structure. And the damping rotating shaft can improve the feel when using the cup holder assembly structure and make the cup holder assembly structure not generate abnormal noises during vehicle driving.

Detailed implementation manners

[0025] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the annual growth rate of the vehicle market is getting higher and higher. People's requirements for various vehicle parameters are also getting higher and higher. They not only require the performance of the vehicle in terms of driving, but also require operational convenience, practicality of the storage space and aesthetics when driving the vehicle.

[0026] However, most vehicles are restricted by the layout scheme of the deputy instrument panel and the internal structure, and a specific shape is required to arrange the conventional inlaid cup holder. Most vehicles on the market will arrange the cup holder in front of the armrest. However, storing a water cup here may collide with the elbow during driving, and to a certain extent, it affects the storage space above the deputy instrument panel bridge hole. There are also some vehicles that arrange the cup holder in the bridge hole, which will increase the storage space above the bridge hole, but the layout space in the bridge hole will be affected accordingly. No matter which way, the cup holder will occupy the fixed space in the vehicle when not in use.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 Figures 1 - 5 , to solve the problem that existing cup holders occupy fixed space in the vehicle when not in use, the present application provides a cup holder assembly structure and a vehicle. The cup holder assembly structure is installed in an assembly groove 100 (including but not limited to an armrest groove and a trim panel groove). The cup holder assembly structure includes a fixing ring 200, a fixing bracket 300, and a damping rotating shaft 400. The fixing ring 200 is rotatably connected to the fixing bracket 300 through the damping rotating shaft 400, and the fixing bracket 300 is fixedly connected to the side wall 110 of the assembly groove 100.

[0028] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, when the cup holder assembly structure is in the folded state, the fixing ring 200 is attached to the side wall 110 of the assembly groove 100.

[0029] Specifically, the side wall 110 of the assembly groove 100 and the bottom wall 120 of the assembly groove 100 are arranged at an angle, and the angle between the two is approximately between 90 degrees and 120 degrees.

[0030] At this time, the fixing ring 200 is in the storage state and does not occupy the space where the assembly groove 100 is located. On the one hand, it can prevent the fixing ring 200 from hindering the movement of the elbow and improve driving safety. On the other hand, it makes the interior more concise and grand, improving the aesthetics of the interior.

[0031] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, when the cup holder assembly structure is in the open state, the fixing ring 200 rotates a preset angle relative to the side wall 110 of the assembly groove 100 and is spaced from the bottom wall 120 of the assembly groove 100, so that the cup body 600 can pass through the fixing ring 200 and be placed on the bottom wall 120 of the assembly groove 100.

[0032] With this setting, the fixing ring 200 can play a good role in limiting and fixing the cup body 600, and there is no need to additionally set a bridge hole structure at the assembly groove 100, greatly reducing the processing difficulty of the assembly groove 100 and being beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

[0033] Furthermore, it can be understood that the working principle of the damping rotating shaft 400 is to generate friction by the mutual extrusion between the gaskets. The magnitude of this friction can be controlled by adjusting the number of gaskets and the tightness of the nuts.

[0034] Therefore, when the fixed ring 200 is rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 300 through the damping rotating shaft 400, it can ensure that the fixed ring 200 stays stably at the designated position after stopping rotation and will not fall due to shaking, thus greatly improving the use stability of the fixed ring 200 and the cup holder assembly structure. Moreover, the damping rotating shaft 400 can improve the feel when using the cup holder assembly structure and prevent the cup holder assembly structure from generating abnormal noises during vehicle driving.

[0035] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, when the cup holder assembly structure is in the open state, the fixed ring 200 and the bottom wall 120 of the assembly groove 100 are arranged in parallel.

[0036] This setting is beneficial to improving the placement stability of the cup 600.

[0037] However, this is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, when the cup holder assembly structure is in the open state, the fixed ring 200 and the bottom wall 120 of the assembly groove 100 may also be arranged obliquely.

[0038] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the fixed ring 200 includes a cover plate 210, a skeleton 220 and a base 230. The cover plate 210 and the base 230 enclose a receiving cavity, the skeleton 220 is installed in the receiving cavity, and the fixed ring 200 is connected to the damping rotating shaft 400 through the skeleton 220.

[0039] This setting has the following advantages: on the one hand, by providing the cover plate 210 and the base 230, it is beneficial to beautify and cover each connection point on the skeleton 220, thereby improving the aesthetic degree of the fixed ring 200; on the other hand, by connecting the damping rotating shaft 400 through the skeleton 220, it is beneficial to improve the connection strength between the fixed ring 200 and the fixed bracket 300.

[0040] Specifically, the cover plate 210 and the base 230 are connected by fasteners.

[0041] Furthermore, in one embodiment, notches are respectively provided on the side of the cover plate 210 facing the fixed bracket 300 and the side of the base 230 facing the fixed bracket 300 for passing through the fixed bracket 300 and the damping rotating shaft 400.

[0042] In another embodiment, the cover plate 210 may also be connected to the base 230 through the skeleton 220.

[0043] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the cup holder assembly structure further includes a clamping rubber pad 500. The clamping rubber pad 500 is arranged on the inner wall of the fixed ring 200 so that the fixed ring 200 clamps the cup 600 through the clamping rubber pad 500.

[0044] Specifically, the clamping rubber pad 500 is made of rubber, silica gel, soft plastic material, etc., which will not be listed one by one here.

[0045] With such a setting, on the one hand, the friction between the fixing ring 200 and the cup body 600 is increased, playing an anti-slip role. On the other hand, it can play a certain buffering role for the cup body 600 to prevent hard contact between the cup body 600 and the fixing ring 200.

[0046] Furthermore, in one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the clamping rubber pad 500 includes a first section 510, a second section 520, and a third section 530 that are circumferentially spaced along the fixing ring 200. The first section 510, the second section 520, and the third section 530 are respectively clamped between the fixing ring 200 and the cup body 600.

[0047] With such a setting, the clamping stability between the fixing ring 200 and the cup body 600 is improved by using three-point contact.

[0048] However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the clamping washer can also be an integrally formed structure, a two-piece structure, a four-piece structure, or a more-piece structure, etc., which will not be listed one by one here.

[0049] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the fixing bracket 300 includes a rotating shaft connecting portion 310 and a main body portion 320. The main body portion 320 is fixedly connected to the side wall 110 of the assembly groove 100 through a fastener. One end of the rotating shaft connecting portion 310 is connected to the main body portion 320, and the other end extends in a direction away from the bottom wall 120 of the assembly groove 100. And the end of the rotating shaft connecting portion 310 away from the bottom wall 120 of the assembly groove 100 is connected to the fixing ring 200 through a damping rotating shaft 400.

[0050] With such a setting, the installation height of the fixing ring 200 relative to the bottom wall 120 of the assembly groove 100 can be increased, which is beneficial to strengthening the limiting effect of the fixing ring 200 on the cup body 600.

[0051] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the rotating shaft connecting portion 310 and the main body portion 320 are an integrally injection-molded structure.

[0052] In this way, it is beneficial to improve the structural strength of the fixing bracket 300 and reduce the processing difficulty.

[0053] However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the rotating shaft connecting portion 310 and the main body portion 320 can also be bonded, screwed, or welded structures.

[0054] In one embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the damping rotating shaft 400 includes a first rotating shaft 410 and a second rotating shaft 420 arranged coaxially. The shaft connecting portion 310 is connected to both ends of the fixed ring 200 through the first rotating shaft 410 and the second rotating shaft 420 respectively.

[0055] With such an arrangement, the rotational stability of the fixed ring 200 and the shaft connecting portion 310 is greatly improved.

[0056] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the number of the fixed rings 200 is multiple. The multiple fixed rings 200 are respectively distributed along the width direction of the side wall 110 of the assembly groove 100, and the multiple fixed rings 200 rotate independently relative to the side wall 110 of the assembly groove 100.

[0057] In this way, a larger number of cups 600 can be placed, and the flexibility of use of the cup holder assembly structure is improved.

[0058] The present application also provides a vehicle, which includes the cup holder assembly structure described in any one of the above embodiments.
