[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connecting plate has a threaded groove on the side away from the support plate, and the lead screw passes through the cover laterally, with the lead screw connected to the threaded groove; this facilitates the lead screw to extend the connecting plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the drive gear and the transmission gear have an umbrella-shaped structure, and the drive gear meshes with the transmission gear; this facilitates the rotation of the lead screw.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting groove is provided on the tray, and the second elastic component is respectively disposed on both sides of the lower limiting plate; this facilitates people to place cups and position the tray.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a retractable tray at the car armrest, it is convenient for people to hide the tray inside the armrest when not in use and remove it when needed. This effectively prevents dust from falling inside the tray, thereby reducing contamination of the cups. The connecting plate inside the cover can extend the tray. People can operate the rotating part according to their needs, so that the screw drives the connecting plate to extend and retract inside the cover, making it easy for people to take or place cups on the tray.

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.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a push-to-pop hidden cup holder for automobiles, including: an armrest body 1, a base 2, and a tray 4; the armrest body 1 has a sliding groove 5 inside, and a plurality of first elastic components 7 are connected to one side of the inner wall of the sliding groove 5. One end of the first elastic component 7 is connected to a cover 8. Guide rails 6 are fixed on both sides of the inner wall of the sliding groove 5. Both sides of the cover 8 are slidably connected to the guide rails 6. A rotating component 3 is provided on one side of the armrest body 1. A rotating shaft 12 is connected to the side of the rotating component 3 near the armrest body 1. The rotating shaft 12 is located inside the armrest body 1. The rotating shaft 12 is connected to a drive gear 13 at one end away from the rotating component 3. A lead screw 14 is connected inside the handrail, and one end of the lead screw 14 is connected to the drive gear 13. A connecting plate 10 is provided inside the cover 8. One side of the connecting plate 10 is connected to the lead screw 14. The support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate 10 away from the cover 8. A limiting plate 16 is connected to the base 2. A second elastic component 17 is connected to both sides of the limiting plate 16. One end of each second elastic component 17 is connected to the base 2. The limiting plate 16 extends longitudinally through the base 2.

[0018] The cover 8 has a groove 9 on the side near the connecting plate 10. The cross-section of both the connecting plate 10 and the groove 9 is "I" shaped. The side of the connecting plate 10 is in contact with the inner wall of the groove 9, which facilitates the movement of the connecting plate 10 inside the groove 9.

[0019] The connecting plate 10 has a threaded groove on the side away from the support plate 4, and the lead screw 14 passes through the cover 8 laterally and is connected to the threaded groove; this facilitates the lead screw 14 to drive the connecting plate 10 to extend.

[0020] Both the drive gear 13 and the transmission gear 15 have an umbrella-shaped structure, and the drive gear 13 meshes with the transmission gear 15, making it convenient for people to drive the lead screw 14 to rotate.

[0022] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the tray 4 is idle, the limiting plate 16 is always positioned between the handrail body 1 and the base 2 by the pushing force of the second elastic component 17, thereby limiting one side of the tray 4 so that the tray 4 is always inside the handrail body 1. When people need to use the tray 4, the limiting plate 16 can be pulled down until the top surface of the limiting plate 16 is flush with the base 2. At this time, the tray 4 and the cover 8 are released from restriction. The cover 8 and the tray 4 are moved out of the slide groove 5 by the elastic force of the first elastic component 7, and the guide rails 6 provided on both sides of the inner wall of the slide groove 5 are in place. The cover 8 can be guided to move horizontally, so that the tray 4 is exposed outside the armrest body 1. If people feel that the distance between the tray 4 and the armrest body 1 is too long or too short, the rotating part 3 on one side of the armrest body 1 can be rotated, so that the rotating shaft 12 drives the drive gear 13 to rotate, and the drive gear 13 drives the transmission gear 15 to rotate. At this time, the lead screw 14 will drive the connecting plate 10 inside the groove 9 to move, so that the connecting plate 10 drives the tray 4 to adjust. After the tray 4 moves to the appropriate position, people can place the cup in the limiting groove 11.
