Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and specifically relates to an intelligent cup holder assembly. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate the use by drivers and passengers during driving, cup holders are usually provided. With the development of electronic technology and the improvement of driving experience, relevant technical personnel have developed a drawer-type intelligent cup holder. When in use, this intelligent cup holder is automatically pushed out by pressing the button on the outer control screen or under the control of the central control. When idle, it is retracted and hidden, giving the driver and passengers a comfortable driving experience. However, the existing drawer-type intelligent cup does not have a cooling or heating function, and cannot meet people's higher driving requirements for hot or cold drinks, so it needs to be improved. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] One technical problem to be solved by this application is to overcome the defects of the above-related technologies and provide a drawer-type intelligent cup holder assembly with both heating and cooling functions.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows: an intelligent cup holder assembly, including a fixed housing assembly, a movable cup holder assembly and its driving mechanism, the driving mechanism is electrically connected to a controller, a heating and cooling device is installed on the inner side of the cup cavity of the movable cup holder assembly, and the heating and cooling device is electrically connected to the controller.

[0005] Compared with the related technologies, the utility model has the following advantages: a heating and cooling device is added to the inner side of the cup cavity of the movable cup holder assembly, and the heating and cooling device is electrically connected to the controller. The heating and cooling device is used to heat or cool the beverage placed in the cup cavity, so as to supply hot or cold drinks to the driver and passengers during driving, giving the driver and passengers a more comfortable driving experience.

[0006] Preferably, the heating and cooling device is two TEC heat exchange fins, and the TEC heat exchange fins are respectively arranged on the inner side of a cup holder. The refrigeration / heating of the TEC heat exchange fin makes good use of the Peltier effect of the thermoelectric cooler: by applying a low-voltage DC power supply, heat will be transferred from one side of the TEC heat exchange fin to the other side, resulting in the phenomenon that one side of the TEC heat exchange fin becomes hot and the other side becomes cold; when the current reverses, the refrigeration and heating directions of the TEC heat exchange fin will be reversed, so that a single device can realize the hot and cold switching, with low cost.

[0007] As an improvement, the inner sides of the TEC heat exchange fins are both mounted on the same heat sink, and a fan is installed inside the heat sink, and the fan is electrically connected to the controller. It is used to form protection to prevent the TEC heat exchange fin from overheating.

[0008] As an improvement, the driving mechanism includes a motor, a wire reel, a wire rope, and a fixed pulley. The motor is installed on the outer shell of the fixed housing assembly. The wire reel is connected to the output shaft of the motor. The wire rope is installed between the wire reel and the fixed pulley. One end of the wire rope is connected to the inner shell of the movable cup holder assembly. The traction of the wire rope does not generate noise, and the sound emitted by the motor with a small power is also less than the noise of the driving environment, providing a good experience for the driver and passengers when using this intelligent cup holder.
