Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, most of the cup holder clamping structures on the automotive market are of the following three types: 1. Two-color injection molding structure (the surface of the cup holder claw is made of TPS / TPV soft rubber); 2. One-piece independent clamping block structure (multiple clamping blocks are fixed to the back of the clamping block with springs or rubber bands); 3. Butterfly-shaped flip clamping block structure (a single flip folding clamping block is fixed to the side wall of the cup holder).

[0003] The patent number is 202123029620.2, and a public specification published on April 8, 2022 discloses a cup holder clamping structure, a car cup holder and a car, which belong to the field of vehicle technology. The cup holder clamping structure includes: a cup holder body, a limited cavity is opened in the wall thickness direction of the cup holder body; a clamping inner claw, which is rotatably arranged in the limited cavity, and the clamping inner claw has an internal linkage part; an elastic reset part, which is arranged between the clamping inner claw and the limited cavity; and a clamping outer claw, which is arranged on the outside of the clamping inner claw and can move relative to the clamping inner claw, and one end of the clamping outer claw has an external linkage part that cooperates with the internal linkage part. The cooperation of the external linkage part and the internal linkage part enables the clamping outer claw and the clamping inner claw to form a staggered posture. The cup holder clamping structure can limit the rotation angle of the clamping outer claw, and the rubber band will not fall off or break. The clamping claw function is not easy to fail. At the same time, the number of parts is reduced, and the production cost is reduced. The entire clamping claw is divided into a clamping inner claw and a clamping outer claw, which is not easy to be broken or pulled out, and it is convenient to take out a cup body with a larger diameter.

[0004] The above three structural products each have their advantages and disadvantages.

[0006] (2) Integrated independent clamping block structure: Advantages: relatively low cost and good appearance quality; Disadvantages: poor plug-in and pull-out operation force, affecting the operating feel and causing complaints from market customers.

[0007] (3) Butterfly-shaped flip-folding clamping block structure: Advantages: small layout space, the clamping can be flipped and folded, and the cup holder space is diversified after the mechanism is folded; Disadvantages: single-sided clamping, uneven clamping force, and easy failure and detachment, which has caused complaints from market customers.

[0026] The following is a further detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention by referring to the accompanying drawings and describing the embodiments, aiming to help those skilled in the art have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, and contribute to its implementation.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , a cup holder clamping structure, including a claw bracket 2, in which an upper arm 3 of the claw and a lower arm 4 of the claw are provided. The upper arm 3 of the claw and the lower arm 4 of the claw are hinged to each other, and a spring member 5 for resetting is provided between the upper arm 3 of the claw and the claw bracket 2; the installation of this mechanism is simple and convenient, and it can meet the design requirements of storing different sizes of diversified cups. Through the flexibility of the rotating shaft mechanism of the upper / lower swing arms, the problem of the jerky feeling of the force jamming when inserting a cup can be unloaded and resolved, improving the flexibility and quality. Greatly reducing the development cost of the product and solving the problems existing in the clamping structures of most automotive cup holders 1 in the current automotive market.

[0028] The upper arm 3 of the claw is triangular, and the end of the upper arm 3 of the claw protrudes from the surface of the claw bracket 2; since the upper arm 3 of the claw protrudes from the surface, the rotation of the upper arm 3 of the claw can be directly pushed from the outside, and since the upper arm 3 of the claw is triangular, the side of the upper arm 3 of the claw can be inclined, facilitating the rotation of the upper arm 3 of the claw.

[0029] A slide shaft 6 is provided on the lower arm 4 of the claw, and a slide groove 7 matching the slide shaft 6 is provided on the claw bracket 2; the cooperation of the slide shaft 6 and the slide groove 7 is used to limit the movement of the end of the lower arm 4 of the claw, so that when the upper arm 3 of the claw rotates, the lower arm 4 of the claw can be pulled to move. And since the bottom end of the lower arm 4 of the claw is restricted by the slide shaft 6, the lower arm 4 of the claw will not translate, so that the lower arm 4 of the claw will also be driven to rotate, making the connection between the lower arm 4 of the claw and the upper arm 3 of the claw protrude outwards to squeeze and fix the object in the cup holder 1.

[0030] The spring member 5 is a torsion spring 51. The end of the torsion spring 51 is provided with a bent rod 52, and the bent rod 52 is attached to the inner side of the upper arm 3 of the claw; the upper arm 3 of the clamping claw is reset by the torsion spring 51. The bent rod 52 can push the upper arm 3 of the clamping claw to reset under the action of the torsion spring 51, and the torsion spring 51 can give a certain thrust to the upper arm 3 and the lower arm 4 of the claw, so that the upper arm 3 and the lower arm 4 of the claw can generate a certain pressure on the object in the cup holder 1, preventing the object in the cup holder 1 from detaching from the cup holder 1.

[0031] A groove 8 is provided on the inner side of the upper arm 3 of the claw; the bent rod 52 is located in the groove 8; the existence of the groove 8 can prevent the bent rod 52 from shifting and being unable to normally push the upper arm 3 of the claw to rotate.

[0032] A stop block 9 is provided in the groove 8, and the bent rod 52 is located between the stop block 9 and the inner wall of the groove 8; the bent rod 52 is clamped by the stop block 9 and the groove 8 to prevent detachment.

[0033] A limit card slot 10 is provided on the side of the claw bracket 2; the claw bracket 2 is fixed to the cup holder 1 by using the limit card slot 10 and the cup holder 1.

[0034] A clamping block 11 is provided on the inner side of the claw bracket 2, and a clamping plate 12 matched with the clamping block 11 is provided on the side of the upper arm 3 of the claw; the rotation angle of the upper arm 3 of the claw is limited by the clamping plate 12 and the clamping block 11 to prevent the rotation angle from being too large and unable to be used normally again.

[0035] The end of the upper arm 3 of the claw is a rounded corner; reducing the damage to the surface of the object during clamping.

[0036] The claw bracket 2 is clamped to the side of the cup holder 1, and the end of the upper arm 3 of the claw faces the inner side of the cup holder 1; the object in the cup holder 1 is clamped and fixed by the upper arm 3 and the lower arm 4 of the claw.

[0037] The clamping structure of the automotive cup holder 1 breaks the traditional clamping structure of the automotive cup holder 1. By designing the rotation linkage mechanism between the upper arm 3 and the lower arm 4 of the claw, it solves the problems of uneven operating force, poor sound quality, and poor operating feel of the traditional integrated independent clamping block (multiple integrated independent clamping blocks are fixed to the back of the clamping block with springs or rubber bands); it solves the problem that the cup in the butterfly-shaped flip clamping block is unstable when stored in the cup holder 1 and the flip mechanism is prone to functional failure; at the same time, it solves the problems of large difference in insertion and extraction force and poor feel caused by the change of the insertion and extraction force of the cup holder 1 claw of the two-color injection-molded soft rubber with the change of seasonal temperature (thermal expansion and contraction of rubber, size change), the problem that the surface of the two-color injection-molded soft rubber is easy to be scratched, and the high cost problem of using the soft rubber clamping claw of the two-color injection molding. The stability of the cup in the cup holder 1 and the operating feel of the user are greatly improved through the four-bar linkage mechanism.

[0038] The technical effects of the present utility model are as follows: The mechanism is simple and convenient to install, and can meet the diversified design requirements for storing cup holders of different sizes. Through the flexibility of the rotating shaft mechanism of the upper / lower swing arms, the problem of the jerky feeling of the force jamming caused when inserting the cup can be unloaded and resolved, improving the flexibility and quality. Greatly reducing the product development cost and solving the problems existing in the clamping structures of most car cup holders 1 in the current automotive market.
