[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the following embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading this description, various equivalent modifications to this description by those skilled in the art fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.

[0023] Please combine Figures 1 to 4As shown, the vehicle involved in this embodiment includes an armrest assembly, and the armrest assembly includes an armrest trim panel 1. The armrest trim panel 1 is provided with a cup holder structure with a manually adjustable space and other storage spaces.

[0024] The manually adjustable cup holder structure consists of two main parts: a cup holder cavity 2 and an adjustment tab 3. The cup holder cavity 2 provides space for bottles, cups, etc., and the adjustment tab 3 adjusts its position within the cup holder cavity 2 to control the size of the space formed by the cup holder cavity 2 for accommodating containers of different sizes.

[0025] The cup holder cavity 2 is defined within the armrest trim, and it engages the adjustable tab 3 in a plug-in manner. To provide more storage space, in this embodiment, the cup holder cavity 2 is designed with a waist-shaped cross-section. The left and right inner walls are approximately straight, while the front and rear end walls 201 are curved. The curved surfaces of the end walls 201 accommodate the shapes of most water bottles and cups.

[0026] The inner walls 202 of the cup holder cavity 2 are provided with a plurality of vertical ridges 203 arranged side by side in a front-to-back direction. The ridges 203 define top-open insertion slots 204. The adjustment insert 3 comprises a first insertion portion 301, a connecting portion 303, and a second insertion portion 302. The connecting portion 303 connects the tops of the first and second insertion portions 301, 302. The first insertion portion 301 is an arc-shaped structure that bends toward the end wall 201 of the cup holder cavity 2, while the second insertion portion 302 is a flat plate. The ends of the first and second insertion portions 301, 302 are inserted into two different insertion slots 204, securing the adjustment insert 3 within the cup holder cavity 2. This creates a space for storing water bottles or cups between the end wall 201 of the cup holder cavity 2 and the first insertion portion 301 of the adjustment insert 3. By adjusting the position of the adjustment insert 3, the size of this space can be adjusted to accommodate containers of different sizes. The adjusting insert 3 is connected to the first inserting portion 301 and the second inserting portion 302 at the same time. The height of the second inserting portion 302 is greater than that of the second inserting portion 302, and the insertion depth of the second inserting portion 302 is greater than the insertion depth of the first inserting portion 301. This allows the adjusting insert 3 to be stably fixed in the cup holder cavity 2 and to be easily pulled out for position adjustment.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, two adjustment inserts 3 are provided. These inserts 3 are inserted back-to-back into the cup holder cavity 2, with their second insertion portions 302 facing each other. This creates a storage space for bottles, cups, etc. between the first insertion portions 301 of the two adjustment inserts 3 and the two end surfaces of the cup holder cavity 2. To further enhance the stability of the bottles, cups, etc. within the storage space, at least three rubber claws 4 are provided within each storage space. These claws 4 are designed to secure the bottles or cups by deforming to a certain degree. In this embodiment, a protruding claw 4 is positioned in the middle of the end surface of the cup holder cavity 2, and two protruding claws 4 are positioned near each end of the first insertion portion 301.

[0028] Please further combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in order to further improve the stability and operability of the adjustment insert 3, the first insertion portion 301 and the second insertion portion 302 maintain a certain distance between them, so that the first insertion portion 301 and the second insertion portion 302 are inserted into two non-adjacent insertion grooves 204. By controlling the distance between the first insertion portion 301 and the second insertion portion 302, the first insertion portion 301 and the second insertion portion 302 are tightly matched with the side surfaces of different ridges 203 of the inner walls 202 on both sides of the cup holder cavity 2, thereby improving the stability of the adjustment insert 3 in the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, the lower portion of the insertion slot 204 is convex—that is, the base of the inner walls 202 on either side of the cup holder cavity 2 convexly projects from the lower portion of the insertion slot 204. This allows the spacing between the lower portions of the slots on the inner walls 202 to be slightly smaller than the spacing between the upper portions. This allows the left-right width of the adjustment tab 3 to be slightly smaller than the spacing between the upper portions of the slots on the inner walls 202, facilitating insertion of the adjustment tab 3. Once the adjustment tab 3 is inserted, the lower portion of the insertion slot 204 tightly fits with the second insertion portion 302, securing the left-right position of the adjustment tab 3. The thickness of the first and second insertion portions 301, 302 is comparable to the width of the insertion slot 204, and the lower edges of the first and second insertion portions 301, 302 are sloped, making insertion easier, facilitating blind operation, and enhancing the user experience.
