Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model generally relates to the technical field of furniture, and in particular to a movable cup holder mechanism and tableware. Background Art

[0002] Tables are important furniture for carrying items, but the space on the table surface is relatively limited, which is not enough when there are many items to be placed. In order to effectively improve the space utilization, existing tables usually add additional brackets on the surface or bottom of the table to organize and store items. For example, a cup holder is installed on the bottom edge of the table to place a water cup, and the cup holder can be rotated in the horizontal direction, so that when the cup holder is not needed, it can be rotated to hide inside the table, further improving the utilization of the desktop space.

[0003] For example, an existing patent provides a cup holder (application number: CN202020172246.X), which is fixed to the bottom of the table top by a rotating upper plate, and the rotating lower plate is rotatably connected to the rotating upper plate by a semi-hollow rivet; the rotating lower plate is fixedly connected to the bottom bracket below, and the cup holder body is fixed between the rotating lower plate and the bottom bracket by the cup holder support plate on the rear side, so that the cup holder body can rotate relative to the table top.

[0004] However, the above scheme has the following problems: the rotating upper connecting piece and the rotating lower connecting piece are rotatably connected by a semi-hollow rivet, and there is a distance between the rotating upper connecting piece and the rotating lower connecting piece, so that the connection strength between the two is low. When the cup carried by the cup holder is heavy, the rotating upper connecting piece is easy to shake relative to the rotating lower connecting piece, resulting in poor stability of the cup holder. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desired to provide a movable cup holder mechanism and tableware, in which the portion of the support plate where the rotating structure is provided extends toward the left and right sides to form support arms, so that when the cup holder body is under pressure, the force transmitted to the support plate by the cup holder body will be dispersed toward the support arms on both sides, thereby improving the support strength of the support plate and improving the stability of the movable cup holder mechanism; and during the rotation of the connecting portion, the support arm is always tightly attached to and supports the connecting portion, and the pressure borne by the cup holder body can be directly transmitted to the support arm through the connecting portion, thereby improving the connection strength between the support arm and the connecting portion, and further improving the stability of the movable cup holder mechanism.

[0006] The effect of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides a movable cup holder mechanism, including a cup holder body and a support plate. The support plate is configured to be connected to a tabletop. The cup holder body includes a bearing portion, and a bearing groove is formed by downward depression at the top of the bearing portion. The bearing groove is configured to place a water cup. The rear end of the bearing portion extends backward to form a plate-shaped connecting portion. The top of the connecting portion fits against the bottom of the support plate, and the connecting portion and the support plate are connected by a rotating structure, so that the connecting portion can rotate horizontally relative to the support plate. The part of the support plate where the rotating structure is provided extends toward the left and right sides to form support arms. The support arms are configured to closely adhere to and support the connecting portion, and during the rotation of the connecting portion, the support arms always closely adhere to the connecting portion.

[0008] Further, the support plate is a symmetric structure, and the rotating structure is provided on the center line of the support plate. This enables the pressure transmitted from the cup holder body to the support plate to be more evenly distributed to the left and right sides of the support plate, further enhancing the support strength of the support plate.

[0009] Further, the horizontal cross-section of the support plate is an isosceles triangle, and two support arms are formed at the two base angles of the support plate. The support plate is set as a triangular structure with good stability, which makes the strength of the support plate better, and the triangular structure is simple, and the manufacturing cost is relatively low.

[0010] Further, the rotating structure includes a first connection hole and a rotating support column. The rotating support column penetrates into the first connection hole and can rotate circumferentially within the first connection hole. The first connection hole is hollowed out in one of the support plate and the connecting portion, and the rotating support column is provided on the other of the support plate and the connecting portion. The rotation cooperation between the support plate and the connecting portion is realized through the rotating support column and the first connection hole, and the structure is simple and the rotation adjustment is convenient.

[0011] Further, the rotating support column is provided at the bottom of the support plate, and the first connection hole is correspondingly hollowed out on the connecting portion. A stop member is provided at the bottom end of the rotating support column, and the connecting portion is clamped between the support plate and the stop member, so that the cup holder body and the support plate are fixed in the vertical direction. Further enhancing the connection strength between the support plate and the connecting portion, and the stability is better.

[0012] Further, the stop member is a screw, and the stop member is screwed to the bottom of the rotating support column and abuts against the connecting portion. While ensuring the connection stability between the stop member and the rotating support column, the stop member is detachably provided on the rotating support portion, and further, the support plate and the cup holder body are detachably provided, and the installation and disassembly operations are relatively simple.

[0013] Further, both the cup holder body and the support plate are integrally formed injection molded parts. While ensuring the overall strength of the movable cup holder mechanism, it makes its processing and manufacturing relatively simple and the cost is relatively low.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present application provides a tableware, which includes a tabletop and a movable cup holder mechanism. A support plate is connected to the bottom of the tabletop. The movable cup holder mechanism has switchable use states and storage states. In the use state, the cup holder body rotates forward until the bearing part is exposed on the front side of the tabletop; in the storage state, the cup holder body rotates backward until the whole of it is hidden inside the tabletop. The cup holder body can rotate relative to the tabletop. When the user does not need to use the water cup, the cup holder body can be rotated to the storage state, so that the movable cup holder mechanism is entirely hidden under the tabletop, making the tableware more tidy and beautiful in appearance.

[0015] Further, second connection holes are hollowed out at the corner parts of the support plate, and the support plate is screwed to the tabletop through the second connection holes. While ensuring the connection strength between the two, the installation and disassembly operations of the movable cup holder structure are relatively simple; moreover, the second connection holes are arranged at the three corner parts of the support plate, further enhancing the connection strength between the support plate and the tabletop.

[0016] In the movable cup holder mechanism and the tableware provided by the present application, the parts of the support plate where the rotating structure is provided extend towards the left and right sides to form support arms. When the cup holder body is pressed, the force transmitted from the cup holder body to the support plate will be dispersed towards the support arms on both sides, thereby enhancing the support strength of the support plate and improving the stability of the movable cup holder mechanism; and during the rotation process of the connection part, the support arms always closely adhere to and support the connection part, and the pressure borne by the cup holder body can be directly transmitted to the support arms through the connection part, enhancing the connection strength between the support arms and the connection part, effectively preventing the cup holder body from shaking left and right when bearing weight, and further improving the stability of the movable cup holder mechanism.

[0028] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-8 , the embodiment of the present application provides a movable cup holder mechanism, including a cup holder body 1 and a support plate 2. The support plate 2 is configured to be connected to the tabletop 3. The cup holder body 1 includes a bearing part 110. The top end of the bearing part 110 is recessed downward to form a bearing groove 111. The bearing groove 111 is configured to place a water cup. The rear end of the bearing part 110 extends backward to form a plate-shaped connecting part 120. The top end of the connecting part 120 abuts against the bottom of the support plate 2, and the connecting part 120 and the support plate 2 are connected through a rotating structure, so that the connecting part 120 can rotate horizontally relative to the support plate 2; the part of the support plate 2 where the rotating structure is provided extends toward the left and right sides to form support arms 210. The support arms 210 are configured to closely abut and support the connecting part 120, and during the rotation of the connecting part 120, the support arms 210 always closely abut against the connecting part 120.

[0029] In this embodiment, the portions of the support plate 2 provided with the rotating structure extend towards the left and right sides to form support arms 210. When the cup holder body 1 is pressed, the force transmitted from the cup holder body 1 to the support plate 2 will be dispersed towards the support arms 210 on both sides, thereby enhancing the support strength of the support plate 2 and improving the stability of the movable cup holder mechanism. Moreover, during the rotation of the connecting portion 120, the support arms 210 always closely adhere to and support the connecting portion 120, and the pressure borne by the cup holder body 1 can be directly transmitted to the support arms 210 through the connecting portion 120, enhancing the connection strength between the support arms 210 and the connecting portion 120, effectively preventing the cup holder body 1 from shaking left and right when bearing weight, and further improving the stability of the movable cup holder mechanism.

[0030] Please refer to the attached Figure 4-5 , in some embodiments of the present application, the support plate 2 is a symmetric structure, and the rotating structure is arranged on the center line of the support plate 2. This enables the pressure transmitted from the cup holder body 1 to the support plate 2 to be more evenly dispersed to the left and right sides of the support plate 2, further enhancing the support strength of the support plate 2.

[0031] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the support plate 2 can also be an asymmetric structure, and the rotating structure is arranged at the center of gravity of the support plate 2, so that the force received by the support plate 2 can be evenly dispersed to each part.

[0032] Please refer to the attached Figure 8 , in some embodiments of the present application, the horizontal cross-section of the support plate 2 is an isosceles triangle, and two support arms 210 are formed at the two base angles of the support plate 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the support plate 2 is set as a triangular structure with good stability, so that the support plate 2 has good strength, and the triangular structure is simple, and the manufacturing cost is relatively low. Moreover, the two base angles of the support plate 2 form support arms 210, so that the force arms from the rotating structure to the support arms 210 on both sides are long enough and equal, and the stability is good.

[0034] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the horizontal cross-section of the support plate 2 can also be a parallelogram, a circle, a pentagon, etc.

[0035] Please refer to the attached Figure 6-7 , in some embodiments of the present application, the rotating structure includes a first connection hole 121 and a rotating support column 220.

Further improving the connection strength between the support plate 2 and the connection portion 120, the stability is better.

[0037] Please refer to the attached Figure 6-7 , in some embodiments of the present application, the stop member 221 is a screw. The stop member 221 is screwed to the bottom of the rotating support column 220 and abuts against the connection portion 120. While ensuring the connection stability between the stop member 221 and the rotating support column 220, the stop member 221 is detachably disposed on the rotating support portion 220, and further, the support plate 2 and the cup holder body 1 are detachably disposed, and the installation and disassembly operations are relatively simple.

[0038] Please refer to the attached Figure 7-8 , in some embodiments of the present application, both the cup holder body 1 and the support plate 2 are integrally formed injection molded parts.
