The cup holder cover plate 3 rotates around the rotating shaft 6. At the same time, the fixed shaft 53 is connected to the connecting rod 51. When the upper cup holder cover plate 31 rotates, it drives the connecting rod 51 to rotate, thereby driving the lower cup holder cover plate 32 to rotate together. At the same time, the fixed shaft 53 slides along the arc-shaped groove.

[0035] A fixed pin 54 is provided on the connecting rod 51. A contraction spring 55 is provided on the fixed pin 54. Both ends of the contraction spring 55 are connected to the fixed pins 54 on the two connecting rods 51; the two connecting rods 51 are connected together by the spring. When no external force is applied, the connecting rod 51 can be pulled back to its original position by the contraction spring 55, which is convenient for use.

[0036] A hook 7 is provided on the upper cup holder cover plate 31. A fixing structure 8 for fixing the hook 7 is provided on the side of the housing 1. The fixing structure 8 includes a locking tongue 81 provided on the side of the housing 1 and matching with the hook 7; by the cooperation of the hook 7 and the locking tongue 81, the hook 7 can be fixed on the locking tongue 81, and the locking tongue 81 is used to fix the hook 7 to prevent the upper cup holder cover plate 31 from resetting, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the hook 7.

[0037] An avoidance hole is provided on the side of the housing 1. A side frame 82 is provided on the side of the housing 1. The locking tongue 81 is arranged in the side frame 82; the side frame 82 is used to install the locking tongue 81. At the same time, when the hook 7 and the locking tongue 81 are engaged with each other, they are also located in the side frame 82. The side frame 82 is used to protect the internal structure and avoid being accidentally touched, which affects normal use.

[0038] A central shaft 83 is provided in the middle of the side of the locking tongue 81. A fixing groove 84 is provided on the side of the side frame 82. The central shaft 83 is clamped in the fixing groove 84. An abutting rod 85 is provided inside the side frame 82. A return spring 86 is provided between the abutting rod 85 and the locking tongue 81; the locking tongue 81 rotates around the central shaft 83. The return spring 86 is used to fix the position of the locking tongue 81 in the general use state. At the same time, when the hook 7 is inserted into the side frame 82, it can also push the locking tongue 81 to rotate back to the normal position, so that the locking tongue 81 can fix the hook 7.

[0039] A push rod 9 is provided above the locking tongue 81. The push rod 9 is located at the end far from the hook 7. A panel 10 is provided on the housing 1. A button 11 connected to the end of the push rod 9 is provided inside the panel 10. A bottom frame 12 is provided on the panel 10. The button 11 is arranged in the bottom frame 12. A top spring 13 is provided between the bottom frame 12 and the button 11. A hook 14 is provided on the button 11. The hook 14 penetrates through the bottom of the bottom frame 12.

[0040] By pushing the push rod 9 downward, the locking tongue 81 can be pushed to rotate. When the locking tongue 81 rotates, the hook 7 is no longer fixed by the locking tongue 81, and the hook 7 is liberated. In this way, the upper cover plate 31 of the cup holder is no longer restricted, and is pulled and rotated back to its original position under the action of the contraction spring 55. The button 11 facilitates the user to press the push rod 9. The button 11 is arranged inside the panel 10, and the panel 10 protects the button 11, reducing the occurrence of accidental touch. At the same time, the panel 10 is convenient for being flush with the surface of the device to be installed when installing this product, with a regular shape and more beautiful appearance.

[0041] The bottom end of the side cover plate 4 is inserted into the side of the storage box body 2. A clamping groove 16 is arranged on the side of the side cover plate 4, and a clamping block 15 matched with the clamping groove 16 is arranged at the end of the housing 1; the overall installation of the product is completed by means of clamping. Each component is produced separately, which is conducive to production on an assembly line, simplifies the production process, is conducive to improving production efficiency, and reduces production costs.

[0042] Working principle: When used as a storage box, push the upper cover plate 31 of the cup holder downward to rotate. The upper cover plate 31 of the cup holder rotates downward with the rotating shaft 6 as the center, drives the fixed shaft 53 to move along the arc-shaped groove, the fixed shaft 53 drives the connecting rod 51 to rotate, both ends of the connecting rod 51 rotate to the left and right sides, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 51 drives the lower cover plate 32 of the cup holder to rotate to both sides through the fixed shaft 53. The upper cover plate 31 and the lower cover plate 32 of the cup holder open outward. The hook 7 on the upper cover plate 31 of the cup holder rotates to the side, the hook 7 is inserted into the side frame 82, and the hook at the end of the hook 7 pushes the hook of the locking tongue 81, causing the locking tongue 81 to rotate slightly. After the two hooks 7 and the locking tongue 81 are stuck to each other, the locking tongue 81 is reset under the action of the return spring 86, and the locking tongue 81 fixes the hook 7 to prevent the upper cover plate 31 and the lower cover plate 32 of the cup holder from resetting. After opening the cup holder cover plate 3, the function of the storage box is realized;

[0043] When it is necessary to be used as a cup holder, only need to press the button 11. By pushing the push rod 9 downward, the locking tongue 81 can be pushed to rotate. When the locking tongue 81 rotates, the hook 7 is no longer fixed by the locking tongue 81, and the hook 7 is liberated. In this way, the upper cover plate 31 of the cup holder is no longer restricted, and is pulled and rotated back to its original position under the action of the contraction spring 55. The two upper cover plates 31 of the cup holder are combined into one, and the slots 33 are closed to form a circle for placing a water cup. At the same time, after the lower cover plate 32 of the cup holder is closed, it can be used to support the water cup to realize the function of the cup holder.

[0044] The technical effect of the present utility model is: The opening and closing of the cup holder cover plate 3 are realized through the control structure 5. When the cup holder cover plate 3 is closed, it can be changed into a cup holder. When the cup holder cover plate 3 is opened, it will become a storage box, realizing the effect of integrating the functions of the cup holder and the storage box.

[0045] The above has made an exemplary description of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present utility model is not limited by the above-mentioned manner. As long as various non-substantive improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present utility model; or without improvement, the above-mentioned concept and technical solution of the present utility model are directly applied to other occasions, they are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
