Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5A gravity-balancing device for car cup holders includes a water cup 1, a cup holder 2 movably sleeved on the outer wall of the water cup 1, rotating components 3 fixedly installed on both sides of the cup holder 2, the installation of the rotating components 3 connecting the cup holder 2 to the mounting frame 13, the outer wall of the rotating components 3 away from the cup holder 2 being movably sleeved with the mounting frame 13 located outside the cup holder 2, a counterweight 4 fixedly installed below the cup holder 2 inside the mounting frame 13, the swinging of the counterweight 4 driving the movement of the cup holder 2, causing the water in the water cup 1 to slosh around inside the cup, preventing the water in the water cup 1 from spilling, and fixing components 15 evenly distributed on the outside of the water cup 1 inside the cup holder 2. A clamping component 5 is provided on the inner side of the fixing component 15. The clamping component 5 is used to fix the water cup 1 after it is clamped in the cup holder 2. The end of the clamping component 5 away from the fixing component 15 has evenly distributed balls 6 for rolling connection with the outer wall of the water cup 1. The rolling of the balls 6 can reduce the frictional force in contact with the outer wall of the water cup 1 and reduce the wear of the balls 6 on the outer wall of the water cup 1. A protrusion 7 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing component 15. The inner wall of the protrusion 7 is threaded with a fastening bolt 8 for connecting the mounting bracket 13. By changing the connection method between the fastening bolt 8 and the mounting bracket 13, the connection or separation of the protrusion 7 and the mounting bracket 13 can be realized, thereby achieving the disassembly and assembly of the clamping component 5.
[0026] A gasket 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the cup holder 2. The gasket 9 is located between the water cup 1 and the cup holder 2, and serves as a buffer when the water cup 1 is placed into the cup holder 2. The inner wall of the gasket 9 is movably sleeved with the outer wall of the lower end of the water cup 1. The upper end surface of the cup holder 2 is evenly provided with grooves 10. The bottom surface of the inner wall of the groove 10 is provided with a threaded hole 11. The inner wall of the threaded hole 11 is threadedly sleeved with the outer wall of the lower end of the fastening bolt 8. The threaded connection method not only allows the fastening bolt 8 to be installed into the threaded hole 11, but also allows the fastening bolt 8 to be removed from the threaded hole 11.
[0027] The rotating assembly 3 includes a shaft 301 and a ball 302. The inner end of the shaft 301 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cup holder 2. The installation of the shaft 301 serves to connect the cup holder 2 and the ball 302. The ball 302 is fixedly installed at the end of the shaft 301 away from the cup holder 2.
[0028] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 7 A connecting rod 12 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the hammer 4. The installation of the connecting rod 12 serves to connect the hammer 4 and the cup holder 2, and the end of the connecting rod 12 away from the hammer 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cup holder 2.
[0029] The fixing component 15 includes a baffle 1501. The inner side of the baffle 1501 is connected to one end of the clamping component 5, and the outer side of the baffle 1501 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the protrusion 7. The installation of the baffle 1501 serves to connect the two side plates 1502. Both ends of the baffle 1501 are fixedly installed with side plates 1502 located outside the clamping component 5.
[0030] The clamping assembly 5 consists of a spring 501 and a clamping plate 502. One end of the spring 501 is connected to the inner side of the baffle 1501, and the other end of the spring 501 is connected to the outer side of the clamping plate 502. The spring 501 connects the clamping plate 502 and the baffle 1501. The side of the clamping plate 502 away from the spring 501 is movably sleeved with the outer wall of the ball 6. This movable sleeve connection allows the ball 6 to rotate on the side wall of the clamping plate 502, thereby reducing the friction between the ball 6 and the outer wall of the water cup 1.
[0031] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 4 The protrusion 7 is T-shaped, and the outer wall of the protrusion 7 is movably engaged with the inner wall of the groove 10. This movable engagement allows the protrusion 7 to not only be installed inside the groove 10, but also to be removed from inside the groove 10. The protrusion 7 is fixed inside the groove 10 after being penetrated by the fastening bolt 8.
[0032] The inner wall of the mounting bracket 13 has corresponding circular holes 14 on both the left and right sides. The inner wall of the circular hole 14 is movably connected to the outer wall of the ball 302. The movable connection allows the ball 302 to rotate inside the circular hole 14, which enables the cup holder 2 to swing back and forth in the mounting bracket 13.
[0033] Working principle: In use, firstly, place the water cup 1 into the cup holder 2. Since the ball bearing 6 and the clamping component 5 are located between the water cup 1 and the cup holder 2, the water cup 1 contacts the ball bearing 6 first. As the water cup 1 continues to penetrate deeper into the cup holder 2, the ball bearing 6 rolls after contacting the water cup 1, thereby reducing the friction between the water cup 1 and the cup holder 2. At this time, the compression and rebound of the spring 501 make the ball bearing 6 adhere tightly to the outer wall of the water cup 1, and the ball bearing 6 clamps the water cup 1 until the water cup 1 is placed on the pad 9. Then, when the car accelerates or brakes suddenly, the counterweight 4 will swing. The swing of the counterweight 4, through the connection of the connecting rod 12, drives the cup holder 2 to swing in the mounting bracket 13. At this time, through the connection of the rotating component 3, when the counterweight 4 swings, the counterweight 4 will swing. When the water cup 1 moves forward, the water cup 1 moves backward. When the weight 4 moves backward, the water cup 1 moves forward. At this time, the water in the water cup 1 is less likely to spill out, avoiding interference with the normal driving of the car caused by the spilled water, and also avoiding damage to the car parts caused by the spilled water. Finally, as the spring 501 is used for a long time, its elasticity will also decrease, so the clamping component 5 needs to be replaced. Disassemble the connecting protrusion 7 and the cup holder 2 and the fastening bolt 8, and the protrusion 7 can be taken out from the inside of the groove 10. At this time, the clamping component 5 can be removed, and the new protrusion 7 is inserted into the inside of the groove 10. After the fastening bolt 8 passes through the inside of the protrusion 7, it is rotated and installed into the inside of the threaded hole 11, thus achieving the installation of the new clamping component 5.
