[0017] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a vehicle-mounted clamping cup holder, including an object placement body 1, an exterior body 2, and a clamping assembly 3. The object placement body 1 is arranged inside the exterior body 2, the clamping assembly 3 is arranged between the object placement body 1 and the exterior body 2, an activity hole 21 is provided in the center of the exterior body 2, the object placement body 1 is arranged below the activity hole 21, and the aperture of the activity hole 21 is not larger than the opening diameter of the object placement body 1. The object placement body 1 is fixedly connected to the exterior body 2. Passengers can enter the object placement body 1 through the activity hole 21 to pick up and place items.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 2 Figure 2 , the clamping assembly 3 includes a clamping member 31, a gear set 32, a gear rod 33, a connecting rod 34, and a clamping driving element 35. The gear set 32 includes a driving gear 321, a driven gear 322, a positioning gear 323, and a mating gear 324.

[0020] The clamping driving element 35 and the driving gear 321 are arranged below the object placing member 1. The clamping driving element 35 is an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder with a rotational output. The driving gear 321 is arranged directly below the object placing member 1, and the center of the driving gear 321 and the center of the object placing member 1 are on the same axis. The fixed end of the clamping driving element 35 is fixedly connected to the exterior body 2, and the output end is fixedly connected to the center of the driving gear 321. The clamping driving element 35 drives the driving gear 321 to rotate directly below the object placing member 1. The gear rod 33 is arranged outside the driving gear 321 and is rotationally limited on the exterior body 2. The driven gear 322 and the positioning gear 323 are fixedly arranged on the gear rod 33. The positioning gear 323 is arranged above the driven gear 322, and the driven gear 322 is meshed with the driving gear 321. When the driving gear 321 rotates, the driven gear 322 rotates, and the gear rod 33 and the positioning gear 323 rotate accordingly.

[0021] There is a certain distance between the top of the object placing member 1 and the movable hole 21. The connecting rod 34 is arranged between the edge of the movable hole 21 and the top of the object placing member 1. The connecting rod 34 can be arranged to be rotationally limited on the object placing member 1 or the exterior body 2, or can be arranged to be fixedly connected to the object placing member 1 or the exterior body 2. The connecting rod 34 is a cylinder. The mating gear 324 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod 34, and the mating gear 324 is meshed with the positioning gear 323. The clamping member 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the mating gear 324. When the mating gear 324 rotates, the clamping member 31 rotates accordingly, so that the end of the clamping member 31 away from the mating gear 324 approaches or moves away from the central axis of the object placing member 1. A plurality of clamping members 31 are provided to realize the clamping operation on the object in the object placing member 1.

[0022] In order to clamp the object more stably and firmly, in this embodiment, preferably, there are four groups of the clamping members 31 and their corresponding driven gears 322, positioning gears 323, mating gears 324, and gear rods 33, which are evenly distributed to clamp the object from multiple directions. The clamping member 31 is arc-shaped. When the four groups of clamping members 31 clamp the object, they are in a spiral shape, improving the aesthetics.

[0023] In order to improve the degree of automation, a pressure sensor is provided at the bottom of the object placing member 1. The pressure sensor is communicatively connected to the clamping driving element 35. After the pressure sensor detects the placement of the object, the clamping driving element 35 operates, and clamping operations can be realized for objects of different sizes.

[0024] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model are as follows: An object is placed in the object placement 1. The clamping drive element 35 drives the driving gear 321 to rotate, and the driven gear 322 rotates accordingly. The gear rod 33, the positioning gear 323, and the mating gear 324 rotate accordingly. One end of the clamping member 31 approaches the object and abuts against the outer wall of the object. Multiple clamping members 31 complete the clamping operation on the object or the cup. When the object needs to be taken away from the object placement 1, the clamping drive element 35 outputs in the reverse direction, and each gear and the clamping member 31 return to their original positions.

[0025] The overall structure is vertically arranged, reducing the lateral occupation space, and can be matched with various sizes of vehicle models, with strong versatility.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred examples of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features.
