Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts, specifically relating to a pop-out cup holder opening mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, consumers are paying increasing attention to vehicle interior design. Modern consumers not only pursue superior vehicle performance but also place greater emphasis on the comfort and convenience of the in-car environment. Especially for families or those who frequently drive long distances, the design of car cup holders, as one of the most frequently used accessories, directly impacts the passenger experience.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent number CN221162409U, patent name: A four-bar linkage cup holder mechanism, mainly uses a cup holder module to be lifted by a four-bar linkage mechanism. During the process of pushing the cup holder body into the cup holder shell, the cup holder module is gradually lowered by the four-bar linkage mechanism until the cup holder body can be pushed into the cup holder shell receiving cavity. A pair of claws on the cup holder module are hinged to the claw base by the claw sliding shaft, and the clamping force of the claws is ensured by the cooperation of torsion springs.

[0004] Therefore, it is evident that traditional car cup holders typically use a fixed-size design, which cannot accommodate cups or beverage bottles of various sizes well, thus limiting their applicability to some extent. Furthermore, some cup holders require manual adjustment when placing items, causing inconvenience to users and reducing their flexibility and overall user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to propose a pop-up cup holder opening mechanism.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is to propose a pop-out cup holder opening mechanism, including: a cup holder shell, wherein the cup holder shell is provided with a receiving cavity;

[0007] A cup holder body, which can be pushed into and extended out of the receiving cavity of the cup holder shell from the outlet of the receiving cavity;

[0008] A cup holder module is disposed on the cup holder body and movably connected to the cup holder shell. The cup holder module includes symmetrically arranged clamping arms that can switch between the main unfolded state and the auxiliary unfolded state of the cup holder module.

[0009] When in the main unfolded state, the two clamping arms can gradually unfold towards each other as the cup holder body extends out of the receiving cavity, so as to control the opening angle of the clamping arms;

[0010] When in the extended state, the two clamping arms can continue to rotate relative to the cup holder module as the cup is inserted, in order to accommodate the clamping of cups of different sizes.

[0011] In the pop-out cup holder opening mechanism described above, a rotation gap is formed between the clamping arm and the cup holder module, and the rotation gap allows the clamping arm to continue to rotate relative to the cup holder module in the unfolding direction.

[0012] In the pop-up cup holder opening mechanism described above, drive arms are symmetrically arranged on the cup holder module. The drive arms and the clamping arms are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence and are hinged to the cup holder body. The drive arms can push the clamping arms to rotate when the cup holder body extends out of the receiving cavity, so as to control the opening angle of the clamping arms.

[0013] In the pop-out cup holder opening mechanism described above, the clamping arm has an L-shaped clearance groove. One side of the clearance groove is movably pressed against the top wall of the driving arm, and the other side has a pressing surface and a limiting surface. The end of the driving arm has a driving surface and a positioning surface that are spaced apart. The driving surface is movably pressed against the pressing surface, and the limiting surface and the positioning surface together form the rotation gap.

[0014] In the aforementioned pop-up cup holder opening mechanism, the cup holder module further includes a drive slider with symmetrically arranged drive inclined surfaces. The drive inclined surfaces movably abut against the end of the drive arm away from the clamping arm, so that when the drive slider is lifted, it can drive the drive arm to rotate, thereby allowing the two clamping arms to unfold to the required opening angle.

[0015] In the above-mentioned pop-out cup holder opening mechanism, a first connecting part is formed on the driving arm, the driving surface and the positioning surface are distributed at intervals on the first connecting part, a second connecting part is formed at the end of the clamping arm, and a connecting post is sleeved on the cup holder body. The first connecting part and the second connecting part are sequentially movably sleeved on the connecting post.

[0016] In the pop-out cup holder opening mechanism described above, a first torsion spring is provided on the connecting post, and the first torsion spring is connected to the first connecting part; a second torsion spring is installed in the second connecting part, and the second torsion spring is connected to the cup holder.

[0017] In the pop-out cup holder opening mechanism described above, a cover plate is detachably connected to the cup holder body. The cover plate is used to restrict the displacement of the first connecting part and the second connecting part along the axial direction of the connecting post.

[0018] In the pop-up cup holder opening mechanism described above, a traction post is formed on the side wall of the driving slider, a vertical guide groove is formed on the cup holder body, and a horizontal guide groove and an inclined guide groove are opened on the cup holder shell. The traction post passes through the vertical guide groove and is movably engaged with the horizontal guide groove or the inclined guide groove.

[0019] The pop-up cup holder opening mechanism described above also includes:

[0020] A maze lock is installed on the cup holder body, and a traction block is movably installed inside the maze lock. The traction block is connected to the cup holder shell through a traction line.

[0021] A damping gear and a damping rack are provided. The damping gear is mounted on the cup holder body, and the damping rack is disposed inside the cup holder shell. The damping gear and the damping rack are movably meshed.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] (1) The pop-out cup holder opening mechanism of this utility model realizes the double unfolding mechanism of the clamping arm. That is, the clamping arm can not only gradually unfold towards each other as the cup holder body extends in the main unfolding state, but also further expand the opening angle in the auxiliary unfolding state to adapt to larger cups. This design enables the cup holder to adapt to cups of various sizes, enhances the versatility and flexibility of the product, and ensures the stability of the cup, so as to be applicable to different application scenarios and provide a guarantee for the user's experience.

[0024] (2) The movement of the driving surface and the abutting surface provides a guarantee for the stability of the clamping arm when it is unfolded. At the same time, the movement of the limiting surface and the positioning surface, as well as the rotation gap formed, provide sufficient space for the rotation of the clamping arm when it is unfolded for the second time. It also limits the maximum unfolding angle of the clamping arm, ensuring that the clamping arm can be smoothly retracted under the action of the second torsion spring, thereby improving the stability of the cup holder opening mechanism.

[0025] (3) The design of the first torsion spring can realize the automatic reset of the drive arm and ensure that the drive arm and the drive inclined surface are always in close contact, which provides a guarantee for the smoothness of the clamping arm when it unfolds, and prevents the clamping arm from delaying the unfolding phenomenon and affecting the normal use of the user.

[0036] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model discloses a pop-out cup holder opening mechanism, comprising: a cup holder shell 1, wherein a receiving cavity 10 is disposed within the cup holder shell 1; a cup holder body 2, which can be pushed into and extended out of the receiving cavity 10 from the outlet of the receiving cavity 10; and a cup holder module 3, which is disposed on the cup holder body 2 and movably connected to the cup holder shell 1, the cup holder module 3 including symmetrically arranged clamping arms 30 that can switch between a main unfolding state and a secondary unfolding state; when in the main unfolding state, the two clamping arms 30 can gradually unfold towards each other as the cup holder body 2 extends out of the receiving cavity 10, so as to control the opening angle of the clamping arms 30; when in the secondary unfolding state, the two clamping arms 30 can continue to rotate relative to the cup holder module 3 as the cup is inserted, so as to adapt to the clamping of cups of different sizes.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 The cup holder body 2 shown is located in the receiving cavity 10 of the cup holder outer shell 1. All components (including the clamping arm 30) are in a retracted state. When the user needs to use the cup holder, the cup holder body 2 can be pulled out of the receiving cavity 10. As the cup holder body 2 extends, the cup holder module 3 can push the clamping arm 30 gradually from the receiving cavity 10. Figure 3 The state shown expands to Figure 2 As shown, it's worth noting that the clamping arms 30 are in the main extended state. This means that the extension of the clamping arms 30 is achieved through mechanical linkage. This design allows users to easily switch the cup holder from a hidden state to a usable state without additional operation to open the clamping arms 30, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the opening angle of the two clamping arms 30 can be controlled based on the distance the cup holder body 2 moves relative to the cup holder shell 1. For example, in this embodiment, the opening angle can be freely controlled between 20 and 70 degrees, further enhancing user convenience. When the user places the cup between the two clamping arms 30, if the cup diameter is large, the clamping arms 30 can rotate relative to the cup holder module 3 (i.e., no longer relying on the cup holder module 3 for movement) to accommodate larger cups. In other words, the clamping arms 30 are in a partially extended state at this time. These clamping arms 30 can extend to a suitable opening angle according to different cup or beverage bottle sizes, and the force for rotation of the clamping arms 30 is directly applied by the cup or beverage bottle during insertion, thus achieving a larger opening angle. This allows the cup holder to adapt to cups of various sizes, enhancing the product's versatility and flexibility, while also ensuring the stability of the cup holder. Therefore, the cup holder opening mechanism in this embodiment implements a dual-expansion mechanism for the clamping arms 30, eliminating the need for manual adjustment by the user and accommodating larger cups, improving ease of use and flexibility, and ensuring a better user experience.

[0039] A rotation gap 320 is formed between the clamping arm 30 and the cup holder module 3, which allows the clamping arm 30 to continue to rotate relative to the cup holder module 3 in the unfolding direction.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a rotation gap 320 is formed between the clamping arm 30 and the cup holder module 3 near the outer side. When the cup holder body 2 extends from the cup holder shell 1, the cup holder module 3 always abuts against the clamping arm 30. Therefore, even if the clamping arm 30 is moved from the outer side, the cup holder module 3 remains in contact with the clamping arm 30. Figure 3 Status switch to Figure 2In the current state, the size of the rotation gap 320 between the two remains unchanged. Only when inserting a cup or beverage bottle with a larger diameter can the clamping arm 30 continue to rotate outward in the extended state. At this time, it is precisely because of the design of the rotation gap 320 that the clamping arm 30 can rotate independently relative to the cup holder body 2 to adapt to the size of the cup. That is, without the driving force of the cup holder module 3, it can naturally continue to extend to the appropriate opening angle within the range of the rotation gap 320 to complete the clamping and fixing of the cup.

[0041] The cup holder module 3 is symmetrically provided with drive arms 31. The drive arms 31 and the clamping arms 30 are respectively arranged and hinged to the cup holder body 2. The drive arms 31 can push the clamping arms 30 to rotate when the cup holder body 2 extends out of the receiving cavity 10, so as to control the opening angle of the clamping arms 30.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, two sets of drive arms 31 and clamping arms 30 are respectively provided. The rotation of each drive arm 31 can drive the corresponding clamping arm 30 to rotate relative to the cup holder body 2. Specifically, when the cup holder body 2 rotates from... Figure 1 The status shown has switched to Figure 2 During the process shown, as the cup holder module 3 is pulled out of the cup holder body 2, the drive arm 31 rotates relative to the cup holder body 2. The change in position of the drive arm 31 applies an outward pushing force to the clamping arm 30. Since both are hinged to the cup holder body 2, the pushing force causes the clamping arm 30 to rotate around its hinge point with the cup holder body 2, thus gradually unfolding. When the cup holder body 2 is fully extended to the desired position, the clamping arm 30 also reaches the preset maximum mechanically driven unfolding angle (e.g., between 20 and 70 degrees), forming a stable working posture, ready to accept cups or beverage bottles of different sizes. It is worth noting that the unfolding angle of the two clamping arms 30 depends on the distance the cup holder body 2 extends. Therefore, users can precisely control the opening angle of the clamping arms 30 according to actual usage needs, enhancing product versatility while also ensuring a good user experience.

[0043] The clamping arm 30 has an L-shaped relief groove 300. One side of the relief groove 300 is movably pressed against the top wall of the drive arm 31, and the other side has a pressing surface 300a and a limiting surface 300b. The end of the drive arm 31 has a driving surface 310a and a positioning surface 310b that are spaced apart. The driving surface 310a is movably pressed against the pressing surface 300a, and the limiting surface 300b and the positioning surface 310b together form a rotation gap 320.

[0044] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, this embodiment utilizes an L-shaped inverted relief groove 300 to ensure that the clamping arm 30 and the drive arm 31 can be hinged together on the cup holder body 2 without interfering with each other, effectively preventing jamming. Furthermore, the drive arm 31 pushes the clamping arm 30 to rotate through the movable abutment between the surfaces. Specifically, during installation, the top wall of the relief groove 300 is pressed against the end of the drive arm 31 to ensure that both can rotate around the same hinge point, while the abutment surface 300a on the side wall of the relief groove 300 abuts against... Figure 4 The right end of the drive arm 31 (i.e., the drive surface 310a) means that during the entire process of the cup holder body 2 being pulled out from the cup holder shell 1 (i.e., the main unfolded state of the clamping arm 30), the drive surface 310a is always in close contact with the abutment surface 300a to ensure that the clamping arm 30 can achieve a stable unfolding action during the rotation of the drive arm 31. Under the combined action of the drive surface 310a and the abutment surface 300a, the stable structure formed by the clamping arm 30 in the main unfolded state provides reliable support for placing the cup and prevents the risk of the cup shaking or slipping.

[0045] Furthermore, positioning surfaces 310b and limiting surfaces 300b are also formed on the drive arm 31 and clamping arm 30, respectively. Different abutting surfaces 300a and drive surfaces 310a are moved together. When the clamping arm 30 is in its main extended state, the positioning surface 310b and limiting surface 300b always maintain a certain gap. This gap is the rotational gap 320 of the clamping arm 30 in its auxiliary extended state. In other words, when the cup holder body 2 reaches the predetermined extended position, the clamping arm 30 also reaches its maximum preset extended angle. For items requiring insertion... When larger diameter cups or beverage bottles are inserted between the clamping arms 30, the clamping arms 30 can continue to rotate after the drive arm 31 stops operating. That is, through the rotation gap 320 between the limiting surface 300b and the positioning surface 310b, the clamping arms 30 are allowed to naturally adjust to a suitable unfolding angle according to the size of the cup. It should be noted that the additional unfolding of the clamping arms 30 (i.e., the auxiliary unfolding state) is not limited by the drive arm 31, but is accomplished by the force directly applied by the cup, ensuring that cup holders of different sizes can be properly clamped.

[0046] A first connecting portion 310 is formed on the drive arm 31, and a drive surface 310a and a positioning surface 310b are distributed at intervals on the first connecting portion 310. A second connecting portion 301 is formed at the end of the clamping arm 30. A connecting post 20 is sleeved on the cup holder body 2. The first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 301 are sequentially movably sleeved on the connecting post 20.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the drive arm 31 and the clamping arm 30 are hinged together on the connecting post 20. By forming a second connecting part 301 on the top wall of the L-shaped relief groove 300, the first connecting part 310 and the second connecting part 301 can be sequentially sleeved on the connecting post 20, and the L-shaped relief groove 300 can prevent positional interference between the two, ensuring the stable contact between the drive surface 310a and the abutting surface 300a, thereby achieving precise control of the unfolding angle of the clamping arm 30 and ensuring stability during each use.

[0048] The cup holder module 3 also includes a drive slider 33, on which symmetrically arranged drive inclined surfaces 330 are formed. The drive inclined surfaces 330 move against the end of the drive arm 31 away from the clamping arm 30, so that when the drive slider 33 is lifted, it can drive the drive arm 31 to rotate, so that the two clamping arms 30 can be unfolded to the required opening angle.

[0049] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the driving slider 33 is movably disposed within the cup holder body 2 and can be driven to lift as the cup holder body 2 extends out of the receiving cavity 10. To achieve stable deployment of the clamping arm 30, it is worth noting that in this embodiment, both driving inclined surfaces 330 and the driving arm 31 are V-shaped, and the bends of the two driving arms 31 are oriented towards the inside of the cup holder body 2. Therefore, as the driving slider 33 lifts, the driving inclined surface 330 can apply a thrust to rotate the driving arm 31 around the connecting post 20 along the middle of the cup holder body 2. This rotation is transmitted to the clamping arm 30 through the active contact of the driving surface 310a and the abutting surface 300a, causing the clamping arm 30 to gradually unfold around the connecting post 20. Therefore, the lifting height of the driving slider 33 also determines the unfolding angle of the clamping arm 30, making it suitable for clamping cups or beverage bottles of different sizes. The operation is simple, providing convenience for users.

[0050] A first torsion spring is provided on the connecting post 20, and the first torsion spring is connected to the first connecting part 310; a second torsion spring 301a is installed in the second connecting part 301, and the second torsion spring 301a is connected to the cup holder.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the design of the first torsion spring (not shown in the figure) and the second torsion spring 301a is not only to realize the automatic reset function of the drive arm 31 and the clamping arm 30. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first torsion spring can assist the rotation of the drive arm 31 to ensure precise control of the unfolding angle of the clamping arm 30. In addition, relying on the elastic force of the first torsion spring, the end of the drive arm 31 away from the clamping arm 30 can always remain close to the drive inclined surface 330. In this way, at the moment the drive slider 33 is lifted, the drive arm 31 can be driven to rotate and push the clamping arm 30 to unfold, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the unfolding of the clamping arm 30 and preventing the clamping arm 30 from delaying unfolding and affecting the normal use by the user. Similarly, under the elastic force of the second torsion spring 301a, the abutting surface 300a on the side wall of the relief groove 300 always has a pressing force toward the driving surface 310a. In this way, when the clamping arm 30 is in the main unfolding state, the unfolded clamping arm 30 can provide a stable clamping force to the cup holder or beverage bottle by relying on the second torsion spring 301a. Even when the clamping arm 30 is in the auxiliary unfolding state, the second torsion spring 301a can still make the clamping arm 30 have a clamping force to ensure that the cup body will not move.

[0052] Preferably, in this embodiment, a vertically placed elastic element 34 can be installed inside the cup holder body 2. This elastic element 34 can be replaced by other elastic devices such as compression springs or return springs. By relying on the top end of the elastic element 34 being connected to the bottom wall of the drive slider 33, the drive slider 33 can be automatically reset under the elastic reset force, so that the clamping arm 30 and the drive arm 31 can quickly and smoothly return to their initial state, simplifying the user's operation steps.

[0053] Preferably, in this embodiment, a cover plate 21 is detachably connected to the cup holder body 2, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the design of the cover plate 21 eliminates the need for additional complex mechanisms to fix the connecting parts, simplifying the overall design and reducing manufacturing costs. The cover plate 21 effectively prevents the displacement of the first connecting part 310 and the second connecting part 301 along the axis of the connecting column 20, and restricts the drive slider 33 from falling out of the cup holder body 2 during the lifting process, ensuring the stability of the entire system during the unfolding and resetting process and reducing the possibility of mechanical failure.

[0054] The side wall of the drive slider 33 has a traction column 331, the cup holder body 2 has a vertical guide groove 22, and the cup holder shell 1 has a horizontal guide groove 11 and an inclined guide groove 12 that are interconnected. The traction column 331 passes through the vertical guide groove 22 and is movably engaged with the horizontal guide groove 11 or the inclined guide groove 12.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, as the cup holder body 2 is pulled out, the traction column 331 gradually moves from the horizontal guide groove 11 to the inclined guide groove 12. Due to the presence of the inclined guide groove 12, the traction column 331 generates a vertical component force during its movement, pushing the drive slider 33 to gradually rise. This causes the drive inclined surface 330 on the drive slider 33 to gradually abut against and push the drive arm 31 away from the end of the clamping arm 30, assisting the drive arm 31 in rotating. Ultimately, this force is transmitted to the clamping arm 30 to unfold around the connecting column 20, thus completing the clamping of the cup or beverage bottle. During this process, the design of the vertical guide groove 22 ensures that the path of the traction column 331 driving the drive slider 33 is precisely controllable, avoiding unnecessary lateral movement or tilting and swaying that would affect the smoothness of the clamping arm 30's unfolding, and thus enhancing the stability of the entire cup holder structure. Preferably, in this embodiment, two traction columns 331 can be provided, and the vertical guide grooves 22 on the cup holder body 2 correspond to the traction columns 331. The difference is that the two traction columns 331 can adopt a structure design with one long and one short, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the traction post 331 near the tail of the cup holder body 2 needs to ensure that it can pass through the vertical guide groove 22 and can be movably inserted into the horizontal guide groove 11 or the inclined guide groove 12, so as to ensure the stability of the above-mentioned drive slider 33 when it is raised to realize the unfolding of the clamping arm 30; while the other traction post 331 can simply be movably engaged in the vertical guide groove 22, which can further improve the accuracy and stability of the drive slider 33 when it is raised without affecting the cup holder body 2 extending out of the receiving cavity 10. Under the joint action of the two traction posts 331, the lifting action of the drive slider 33 plays a crucial balancing role.

[0056] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, at least two sets of guide blocks 35 can be symmetrically arranged in the cup holder body 2. A guide groove 350 is formed between two adjacent guide blocks 35. It should be noted that the top opening of the guide groove 350 is preferably designed with a V-shaped opening structure. By setting a corresponding guide block 332 on the side wall of the drive slider 33 to be movably engaged in the guide groove 350, the smoothness and stability of the drive slider 33 when it is lifted are further guaranteed. The design of the V-shaped opening structure also brings convenience to workers to quickly install and disassemble the drive slider 33.

[0057] This solution also includes: a maze lock 40, which is installed on the cup holder body 2, and a traction block is movably installed inside the maze lock 40. The traction block is connected to the cup holder shell 1 through a traction line 41; a damping gear 42 and a damping rack 43. The damping gear 42 is installed on the cup holder body 2, and the damping rack 43 is installed inside the cup holder shell 1. The damping gear 42 and the damping rack 43 are movably meshed.

[0058] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, during the process of the cup holder body 2 being pulled out from the receiving cavity 10, the traction block (not shown in the figure) at the end of the traction line 41 can move within the maze lock 40, thereby realizing the locking function of the cup holder body 2 relative to the cup holder outer shell 1. It should be noted that this structure is the same as the structure and working principle of the maze lock 40 commonly used in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here. During the movement of the cup holder body 2 relative to the cup holder outer shell 1, the damping gear 42 can be used to engage with the damping rack 43, making the opening speed of the cup holder body 2 more uniform and the damping stronger, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0059] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0060] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," and "a" is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0061] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0062] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
