[0030] The solution of this application provides a lightweight cup holder 2 for automobiles. As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the cup holder 2 is arranged on the dashboard trim panel 1. The dashboard is provided with an inner concave part 11 with an upward placement opening 21. The cup holder 2 includes a placement opening 21 and an inner built-in part 23 extending along the placement opening 21. At least a part of the inner wall of the inner concave part 11 forms the inner built-in part 23.

[0031] By arranging that at least part of the inner built-in part 23 of the cup holder 2 is formed by the dashboard trim panel 1, compared with the existing method of fixedly installing the whole cup holder 2 on the basis of the dashboard trim panel 1, the dashboard trim panel 1 directly forms the inner built-in part 23 of the cup holder 2 or forms part of the inner built-in part, which can effectively reduce the overall weight at the position of the cup holder 2, and avoid the small space of the inner built-in part 23 caused by multi-layer fixation. Thus, it can meet the placement requirements of a larger capacity, be compatible with more sizes and shapes of items, realize a larger storage space for water cups in a limited space, and achieve the lightweight of components.

[0032] In an embodiment, the inner concave part 11 includes a first bottom wall 14 and a first side wall 13 connected to part of the first bottom wall 14. The cup holder 2 includes a second bottom wall 25 and a second side wall 24 connected to part of the second bottom wall 25. The first side wall 13 is connected to the second side wall 24. The second bottom wall 25 is located below the first bottom wall 14. The first side wall 13, the second side wall 24, the first bottom wall 14 and the second bottom wall 25 enclose to form the inner built-in part 23.

[0033] In this way, since the first side wall 13 and the second side wall 24 are respectively connected to part of the first bottom wall 14 and the second bottom wall 25, that is, the first side wall 13 surrounds part of the first bottom wall 14 and the second side wall 24 surrounds part of the second bottom wall 25, the connection between the first side wall 13 and the second side wall 24 is a vertical connection, and the first bottom wall 14 and the second bottom wall 25 are superposed, further improving the overall bottom stress strength.

[0034] In an embodiment, the opening of the inner concave part 11 forms the placement opening 21. The shape of the inner built-in part 23 is the same as that of the placement opening 21, and the length and width of the inner built-in part 23 are greater than the length and width of the placement opening 21.

[0035] Preferably, the shape of the inner built-in part 23 is the same as that of the placement opening 21, and the length and width of the inner built-in part 23 are greater than the length and width of the placement opening 21. That is, the placement opening 21 is located in the inner circle of the inner built-in part 23, the overall structure is more beautiful, and the length and width of the inner built-in part 23 are larger, ensuring that the inner built-in part 23 has more space and is beneficial to further realizing the lightweight of the dashboard trim panel 1.

[0036] In another embodiment, the opening of the concave portion 11 forms a placement opening 21, and the concave portion 11 extends downward along the placement opening 21. The cup holder 2 includes a bottom plate 22 and side plates extending upward from the bottom plate. The extending ends of the side plates are connected to the extending ends of the concave portion 11 to form an inner built-in portion 23. In this embodiment, the concave portion 11 formed by the instrument panel guard plate 1 and the bottom plate 22 cooperate to form an integral inner built-in portion 23. The top ends of the side plates are connected to the bottom ends of the concave portion 11, facilitating the assembly between the two and being beneficial to strengthening the depth of the inner built-in portion 23 and increasing the capacity of the cup holder 2.

[0037] This method is not shown in the figure, but it can be understood that the bottom plate 22 and the concave portion 11 in this method are connected in a transverse circumferential manner, and the bottom of the inner built-in portion 23 is only formed by the bottom plate 22, further realizing lightweight and being able to increase the area of the bottom according to the requirements of the use scenario.

[0038] Preferably, the inner diameter of the bottom plate 22 is not less than the inner diameter of the concave portion 11. Thus, the bottom of the inner built-in portion 23 has a larger placement space.

[0039] In one embodiment, a limiting structure is provided between the cup holder 2 and the concave portion 11 to connect the cup holder 2 and the concave portion 11. The limiting structure includes a limiting groove 26 and a limiting protrusion 15 adapted to the limiting groove 26.

[0040] Further, one of the cup holder 2 and the concave portion 11 is provided with a limiting groove 26, and the other is provided with a limiting protrusion 15.

[0041] In one embodiment, the cup holder 2 is provided with a limiting groove 26, and the concave portion 11 is provided with a limiting protrusion 15 adapted to the limiting groove 26. During assembly, the limiting groove 26 and the limiting protrusion 15 are butted and connected to achieve snap connection and positioning.

[0042] In addition, it can be understood that the cup holder 2 and the concave portion 11 can also be connected to each other by screws or other fasteners.

[0043] In a preferred implementation manner of a lightweight cup holder 2 for an automobile, the placement opening 21 is provided with a necking section 211.

[0044] The necking section 211 makes the placement opening 21

[0045] Preferably, the part of the placement opening 21 close to the seat is provided with a necking section 211. The instrument panel guard plate 1 usually has an inclination angle towards the seat direction. By setting the part of the placement opening 21 close to the seat to have a smaller diameter, it can be avoided that when the size of the water cup is small and the space of the inner built-in portion 23 of the cup holder 2 is large, the water cup drops due to the bumping of the vehicle body.

[0046] Alternatively, there are two necking sections 211 provided at the placing opening 21, and the two necking sections 211 are symmetrically arranged. This limits the water cup located inside it to prevent the water cup from shaking in the cup holder 2. At the same time, it can reduce the contact area between the placing opening 21 and the water cup and reduce the friction on the water cup.

[0047] In an implementation manner, the instrument panel trim 1 is provided with an air outlet 12, and the cup holder 2 and the air outlet 12 are arranged side by side horizontally; this facilitates positioning the position of the cup holder 2 and determining the processing position of the instrument panel trim 1 corresponding to the cup holder 2.

[0048] Alternatively, the cup holder 2 and the air outlet 12 are arranged horizontally in a staggered manner. This realizes the staggered weight reduction of the instrument panel trim 1 and avoids excessive uneven force and unstable load bearing.

[0049] What is not described in this application can be realized by adopting or referring to the existing technology.

[0050] Each embodiment in this specification is described in a progressive manner. For the same or similar parts between the embodiments, reference can be made to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0051] The above are only the embodiments of this application and are not used to limit this application. For those skilled in the art, this application can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of this application shall be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
