Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile interiors, and in particular to a cup slot structure of an automobile rear seat armrest. Background Art
[0002] An automobile armrest box is an essential component of an automobile interior. The armrest box provides hand support for the driver and passengers. At the same time, to meet the storage needs, a cup slot for placing water cups and a storage slot for placing other items are usually provided on the armrest box.
[0003] In the related art, reference can be made to the Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN118238704A, which discloses an automobile cup holder structure, including a cup holder body and a rubber part. A bearing cavity is arranged on the cup holder body, and a plurality of openings are arranged on the side of the cup holder body. The bottom pad and the side limiting blocks of the rubber part are connected by a connecting belt part. A clamping groove is arranged on each side limiting block, and the clamping groove of each side limiting block is clamped on a corresponding opening. A protruding limiting surface is arranged on one side of each side limiting block extending into the bearing cavity.
[0004] When in use, the water cup is placed in the cup holder body. The side limiting blocks contract and deform under the extrusion of the water cup. At the same time, the side of the cup is limited by the side limiting blocks, so as to realize the limitation of the water cup. When the size of the water cup changes, the corresponding adapted rubber part is replaced to realize the limitation of water cups of multiple size models; however, it is necessary to replace an adapted rubber part for each change of the water cup specification, and the replacement is rather troublesome, thus reducing the convenience of using the cup slot of the automobile armrest box. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] In order to improve the convenience of using the cup slot of the automobile armrest box, the utility model provides a cup slot structure of an automobile rear seat armrest.
[0006] A cup slot structure of an automobile rear seat armrest provided by this application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0007] A cup slot structure of an automobile rear seat armrest includes a cup slot body arranged on the armrest box. A supporting plate is vertically slidably arranged in the cup slot body. A clamping component for clamping the water cup is arranged in the cup slot body. The clamping component is connected with the supporting plate through a linkage mechanism. When the supporting plate moves downward, the clamping component is activated to clamp the water cup.
[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the water cup is placed in the cup slot body, the supporting plate supports the water cup. Under the action of the gravity of the water cup and the applied pressing force, the supporting plate moves downward, the linkage mechanism is activated to drive the clamping component to be activated, and the clamping component clamps the water cup. Without replacing other accessories, the limitation of the water cup can be realized, thus improving the convenience of using the cup slot of the automobile armrest box.
[0009] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a plurality of clamping pieces, which are relatively slidably arranged in the cup groove body and above the supporting plate. When the supporting plate moves downward, the plurality of clamping pieces approach each other and clamp the water cup.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the water cup pushes the supporting plate downward, the linkage mechanism drives the relative movement of the plurality of clamping pieces, and the plurality of clamping pieces approach each other to cooperate to clamp the water cup, thereby realizing the limitation of the water cup, improving the stability of the water cup, and improving the use effect of the cup groove of the car armrest box.
[0011] Optionally, a lifting column is vertically and slidably arranged coaxially in the cup groove body, the supporting plate is coaxially fixed to the top end of the lifting column, and the clamping piece is connected to the lifting column through a linkage mechanism.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement of the supporting plate drives the movement of the lifting column, and the lifting column drives the movement of the clamping piece through the linkage mechanism, thereby realizing linkage and improving the convenience of clamping the water cup by the clamping piece.
[0013] Optionally, a plurality of first spiral teeth extending vertically and spirally are uniformly distributed on the outer surface of the lifting column. The linkage mechanism includes:
[0014] A linkage plate, which is circular and coaxially rotatably arranged on the lifting column. The inner wall of the linkage plate has linkage teeth, and the linkage teeth are engaged with the first spiral teeth. A limit block is arranged in the cup groove body, and the edge of the linkage plate extends into the limit block;
[0015] A moving block, which is slidably arranged on the linkage plate. The clamping piece is arranged on the moving block. A limit groove is arranged in the cup groove body, and the moving block horizontally penetrates through the limit groove;
[0016] A linkage component, which is arranged on the linkage plate and used to drive the moving block to move.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the downward movement of the supporting plate pushes the lifting column downward. Under the action of the limit block, the linkage plate cannot move up and down with the lifting column. The lifting column drives the linkage plate to rotate through the cooperation of the first spiral teeth and the linkage teeth. The rotation of the linkage plate drives the moving block to move through the linkage component, and the moving block drives the clamping piece to move, thereby clamping the water cup. Only by applying a downward force to the supporting plate can the limitation of the water cup be realized. Therefore, the convenience and use effect of the cup groove of the car armrest box are improved.
[0018] Optionally, the linkage component includes:
[0019] A second spiral tooth, which is arranged on the upper surface of the linkage plate and extends spirally;
[0020] A plurality of meshing teeth are fixedly arranged on the lower surface of the moving block and mesh with the second helical teeth.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the linkage plate rotates, it drives the second helical teeth to rotate. Due to the limitation of the moving block by the limiting groove, the moving block will not rotate with the linkage plate. However, with the cooperation of the second helical teeth and the meshing teeth, when the linkage plate rotates, the moving block moves horizontally towards the axis of the linkage plate, thereby driving the clamping piece towards the water cup until the clamping piece abuts against the outer wall of the water cup, so as to realize the linkage between the clamping piece and the supporting plate. After taking out the water cup, applying an upward force to the supporting plate can drive the clamping piece, the linkage plate, etc. to move back to the initial position, thus improving the convenience and use effect of the cup slot in the car armrest box.
[0022] Optionally, a connecting plate extending vertically upward is fixedly arranged on the moving block, the clamping piece is arranged at the top end of the connecting plate, and an avoidance groove for the connecting plate and the clamping piece to move is formed in the cup slot body. The avoidance groove is communicated with the limiting groove. In the initial state, both the clamping piece and the connecting plate are located in the avoidance groove.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, in the initial state, both the clamping piece and the connecting plate are hidden in the avoidance groove, thereby reducing the probability that the clamping piece and the connecting plate block the placement of the water cup. As the supporting plate moves downward, the clamping piece and the connecting plate gradually move out of the avoidance groove, and multiple clamping pieces cooperate to clamp and position the water cup. After use, as the supporting plate moves upward, the clamping piece and the connecting plate move back into the avoidance groove, thereby improving the convenience of using the cup slot in the car armrest box.
[0024] Optionally, the bottom end of the lifting column is connected with the cup slot body through an elastic member.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when placing the water cup, the water cup pushes the supporting plate and the lifting column downward, and at the same time, the elastic member is compressed. After taking out the water cup, the elastic member recovers its deformation and generates a rebound, and the rebound of the elastic member drives the lifting column and the supporting plate to move back, thereby driving the clamping piece to move back, thus improving the convenience of using the cup slot in the car armrest box.
[0026] Optionally, the clamping piece is arc-shaped.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc shape increases the contact area with the outer wall surface of the water cup, thereby improving the stability of the water cup placement.
[0028] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0029] 1. Place the water cup into the cup slot body. The supporting plate supports the water cup. Under the action of the gravity of the water cup and the applied pressing force, the supporting plate moves downward, the linkage mechanism is activated to drive the clamping component to start, and the clamping component clamps the water cup. Without replacing additional accessories, the positioning of the water cup can be achieved, thus improving the convenience of using the cup slot of the car armrest box.
[0030] 2. The downward movement of the supporting plate pushes the lifting column downward. Under the action of the limit block, the linkage plate cannot move up and down with the lifting column. The lifting column drives the linkage plate to rotate through the cooperation of the first spiral tooth and the linkage tooth. The rotation of the linkage plate drives the second spiral tooth to rotate. Due to the limitation of the limit slot on the moving block, the moving block will not rotate with the linkage plate. However, under the cooperation of the second spiral tooth and the meshing tooth, when the linkage plate rotates, the moving block moves horizontally towards the axis of the linkage plate, thereby driving the clamping piece to approach the water cup until the clamping piece abuts against the outer wall of the water cup. In this way, the linkage between the clamping piece and the supporting plate is realized. Only by applying a downward force to the supporting plate can the positioning of the water cup be achieved. After taking out the water cup, the elastic member drives the supporting plate to move back, thereby driving the clamping piece, the linkage plate, etc. to move back to the initial position. Therefore, the convenience and use effect of using the cup slot of the car armrest box are improved. Description of the Drawings

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0037] The following further describes the present application in detail Figures 1-5 with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] An embodiment of the present application discloses a cup slot structure for an automobile rear seat armrest.
[0039] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIGS.
[0040] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIGS.
[0041] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIGS.
[0042] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIGS.
[0043] Referring to Figure 3 andFigure 4 When the lifting column 31 moves up and down, due to the cooperation between the first spiral tooth 32 and the linkage tooth 511, and under the limiting action of the limiting block 22, the linkage plate 51 can only rotate around the axis of the lifting column 31.
[0044] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in FIGS.
[0045] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5 There are multiple moving blocks 52 which correspond to the clamping pieces 41 one by one. In this embodiment, only two moving blocks 52 are taken as an example. The two moving blocks 52 are relatively slidably arranged on the linkage plate 51. The cup groove body 2 is provided with a horizontally extending limiting groove 23. The limiting groove 23 corresponds to the moving block 52 one by one and is communicated with the placing cavity 21. The moving block 52 horizontally penetrates through the corresponding limiting groove 23. When the front end of the moving block 52 moves close to the lifting column 31, the rear end of the moving block 52 is still located in the limiting groove 23.
[0046] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5 On the linkage plate 51, a linkage assembly 53 is provided and used to drive the moving block 52 to move. The linkage assembly 53 includes a second spiral tooth 531 and a plurality of meshing teeth 532. The second spiral tooth 531 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the linkage plate 51 and spirally extends from the inside to the outside around the axis of the linkage plate 51. The plurality of meshing teeth 532 are sequentially fixedly arranged on the lower surface of the moving block 52 and mesh with the second spiral tooth 531.
[0047] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the initial state, both the clamping piece 41 and the connecting plate 521 are located in the avoiding groove 24. At the same time, the elastic member 33 is in a balanced state. When placing a water cup, the supporting plate 3 supports the water cup. When the gravity of the water cup is large, the supporting plate 3 is stressed and moves downward. When the weight of the water cup is light, when placing the water cup, a pressing force is applied at the same time. Under the action of the gravity of the water cup and the applied pressing force, the supporting plate 3 moves downward. The downward movement of the supporting plate 3 pushes the lifting column 31 downward. Under the action of the limiting block 22, the linkage plate 51 cannot move up and down along with the lifting column 31. The lifting column 31 drives the linkage plate 51 to rotate through the cooperation between the first spiral tooth 32 and the linkage tooth 511.
[0048] Refer to Figure 3 andFigure 4 and Figure 5 When the linkage plate 51 rotates, it drives the second helical tooth 531 to rotate. Due to the limitation of the limiting groove 23 on the moving block 52, the moving block 52 will not rotate with the linkage plate 51. However, under the cooperation of the second helical tooth 531 and the meshing tooth 532, when the linkage plate 51 rotates, the moving block 52 moves horizontally towards the axis of the linkage plate 51, thereby driving the clamping piece 41 to approach the water cup until the clamping piece 41 abuts against the outer wall of the water cup. Only by applying a downward force to the supporting plate 3, the limitation of the water cup can be achieved without replacing additional accessories, that is, the positioning of water cups with different specifications and sizes can be achieved, improving the stability of the water cup placement. After the water cup is taken out, the elastic member 33 drives the supporting plate 3 to move back, thereby driving the clamping piece 41, the linkage plate 51, etc. to move back to the initial position. Therefore, the convenience and usage effect of the cup slot in the automotive armrest box are improved.
[0049] The working principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0050] In the initial state, both the clamping piece 41 and the connecting plate 521 are located in the avoiding groove 24, and at the same time, the elastic member 33 is in a balanced state. When placing the water cup, the supporting plate 3 supports the water cup. Under the action of the gravity of the water cup and the applied pressing force, the supporting plate 3 moves downward. The downward movement of the supporting plate 3 pushes the lifting column 31 downward. Under the action of the limiting block 22, the linkage plate 51 cannot move up and down with the lifting column 31. The lifting column 31 drives the linkage plate 51 to rotate through the cooperation of the first helical tooth 32 and the linkage tooth 511.
[0051] When the linkage plate 51 rotates, it drives the second helical tooth 531 to rotate. Due to the limitation of the limiting groove 23 on the moving block 52, the moving block 52 will not rotate with the linkage plate 51. However, under the cooperation of the second helical tooth 531 and the meshing tooth 532, when the linkage plate 51 rotates, the moving block 52 moves horizontally towards the axis of the linkage plate 51, thereby driving the clamping piece 41 to approach the water cup until the clamping piece 41 abuts against the outer wall of the water cup. Only by applying a downward force to the supporting plate 3, the limitation of the water cup can be achieved without replacing additional accessories, that is, the positioning of water cups with different specifications and sizes can be achieved, improving the stability of the water cup placement. After the water cup is taken out, the elastic member 33 drives the supporting plate 3 to move back, thereby driving the clamping piece 41, the linkage plate 51, etc. to move back to the initial position. Therefore, the convenience and usage effect of the cup slot in the automotive armrest box are improved.
[0052] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
