Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive interior parts production, in particular to a novel clamping mechanism for an automotive cup holder. Background Technique

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry in China in recent years, the innovation ability has also entered the world's leading level. As an essential part in the field of automotive functional parts, the in-vehicle cup holder has led to a diverse range of clamping mechanisms related to it in numerous vehicles. The commonly used existing clamping mechanisms mostly use a combination of a rotating shaft and a spring to achieve the clamping function. Facing this traditional form, more and more automobile manufacturers are still pursuing innovation and are competing to develop new cup holders that can not only adapt to different cup sizes and different road conditions, but also achieve simplicity, beauty, easy installation, cost savings, and ultimately attract customers. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the problems of actual needs and deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a novel clamping mechanism for an automotive cup holder to solve these problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: A novel clamping mechanism for an automotive cup holder includes a cup holder and a clamping mechanism. Both the cup holder and the clamping mechanism are integrally injection-molded parts. The cup holder 1 includes an upper cover plate, a bottom plate, a middle partition plate, a rotating shaft bearing, a spring sheet shaft bearing, a peripheral plate, a partition plate, and a limiting block. The peripheral plate is U-shaped, and the inner cavity with an upward opening is formed by the bottom plate, the partition plate, and the peripheral plate. The middle partition plate divides the inner cavity into two parts, and the clamping cavity with a backward opening is formed by the bottom plate, the partition plate, and the upper cover plate. The partition plate is provided with an empty window. A rotating shaft bearing and a spring sheet shaft bearing are provided on the partition plate on one side of the clamping cavity. Both the rotating shaft bearing and the spring sheet shaft bearing are in the shape of an arc-shaped hook, and the arc is less than or equal to a semi-circle. The limiting block is arranged below the upper cover plate of the clamping cavity. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping shell, a rotating shaft, a stop block, a spring sheet shaft, a spring sheet, and a rotating piece.

Specific implementation mode

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the following further details the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described below are only used to explain the present utility model. In these descriptions, the key words that need to be noted include "circumferential plate", "cover plate", "inner bin", "clamping bin", "clamping shell", "leaf spring" and "rotating piece", etc. These are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0021] As Figure 1 shown, the novel clamping mechanism for an automotive cup holder of the present utility model includes a cup holder 1 and a clamping mechanism 2. The cup holder 1 and the clamping mechanism 2 are each integrally injection-molded parts. Therefore, simply installing and combining them together can be put into use. Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the cup holder 1 includes the provided upper cover plate 1a, bottom plate 1c, middle partition plate 1d, rotating shaft bearing 1e, leaf spring shaft bearing 1f, circumferential plate 1g, partition plate 1h and limit block 1i. Refer to Figure 5 shown, the circumferential plate 1g is U-shaped. The bottom plate 1c, partition plate 1h and circumferential plate 1g enclose an upward-opening inner bin 1b. The middle partition plate 1d divides the inner bin 1b into two parts for placing various cups. And the bottom plate 1c, partition plate 1h and upper cover plate 1a enclose a backward-opening clamping bin 1j for concealing and installing the main body of the clamping mechanism 2. Refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the partition plate 1h is provided with an empty window 1k. On the partition plate 1h on one side of the clamping bin 1j, there are a rotating shaft bearing 1e and a leaf spring shaft bearing 1f, both of which are used for installing the clamping mechanism 2. The rotating shaft bearing 1e and the leaf spring shaft bearing 1f are both in the shape of an arc-shaped hook, with their arc openings facing each other, and the arcs are less than or equal to a semi-circle. The limit block 1i is arranged below the upper cover plate 1a of the clamping bin 1j for limiting when the clamping mechanism 2 is fully opened. As Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a provided clamping shell 2a, a rotating shaft 2b, a stop block 2c, a spring piece shaft 2d, a spring piece 2e and a rotating piece 2f. One side of the rotating piece 2f is connected to the rotating shaft 2b, and the upper end of the other side is connected to the clamping shell 2a. The stop block 2c is arranged on the rotating shaft 2b. One side of the spring piece 2e is connected to the rotating shaft 2b, and the other side is connected to a part on the other side of the rotating piece 2f.

[0022] The installation and use of the present utility model are as described below: Refer to Figure 11 As shown, before the clamping mechanism 2 is installed in the clamping bin 1j of the cup holder 1, an included angle α (10° - 20°) is formed between the spring piece shaft 2d, the spring piece 2e, the rotating shaft 2b and the rotating piece 2f. Refer to Figure 12 As shown, after the clamping mechanism 2 uses the elastic deformation of the spring piece 2e to firmly snap and install the rotating shaft 2b and the spring piece shaft 2d on the rotating shaft bearing 1e and the spring piece shaft bearing 1f on the cup holder 1, the installation is completed. Combining Figure 2 As shown, Figure 12 Assume the state shown. Due to the restriction of the rotating shaft 2b and the spring piece shaft 2d by the rotating shaft bearing 1e and the spring piece shaft bearing 1f, the included angle α is almost 0. This is formed by the elastic deformation of the plastic spring piece 2e. And precisely because of its elastic deformation, it abuts between the spring piece shaft bearing 1f and the rotating piece 2f, that is, using the supporting effect of the spring piece shaft bearing 1f, it abuts against the rotating piece 2f through elastic deformation, so that the rotating piece 2f obtains elastic support. The pair of stop blocks 2c on the rotating shaft 2b block the upper and lower sides of the rotating shaft bearing 1e to prevent the clamping mechanism 2 from moving up and down on the rotating shaft bearing 1e and the spring piece shaft bearing 1f during use. After the clamping mechanism 2 is installed on the cup holder, the clamping shell 2a just extends from the empty window 1k opened in the partition 1h into the inner bin 1b. Push the clamping shell 2a until the limit block 1i in the clamping bin 1j abuts against the clamping shell 2a to limit, reaching the maximum fully opened limit state as shown in Figure 3 As shown, to protect the spring piece 2e of the clamping mechanism 2 from being damaged due to excessive deformation. At this time, release the clamping shell 2a, and under the action of the spring piece 2e, the clamping mechanism 2 immediately resets to the state as shown in Figure 2 As shown. When placing cups of different sizes in the inner bin 1b, the cups are elastically clamped by the clamping shell 2a and are very stable in the inner bin 1b.

[0023] The above is only one implementation manner of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can also have various other implementation manners with changes and modifications, which will not be elaborated one by one here. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model are all included within the protection scope required by the present utility model.
