[0045] The cup holder assembly provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , a structure schematic diagram of a cup holder assembly provided by an embodiment of the application is shown, referring to Figure 4 , a refrigeration principle diagram of a cup holder assembly provided by an embodiment of the application is shown.It should be noted that, Figure 2 and Figure 3 omit the right heat element to clearly show the specific structure of the refrigeration element.

[0047] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the application provides a cup holder assembly, comprising: a cup holder 1 and a refrigeration element 2 and a heating element 3 independent of each other;The cup holder 1 is provided with a containing cavity 11, and the containing cavity 11 is used for containing a water cup;The refrigeration element 2 and the heating element 3 are both arranged on the cup holder 1 and correspond to the position of the containing cavity 11, the refrigeration element 2 is used for reducing the temperature of the water cup located in the containing cavity 11, and the heating element 3 is used for increasing the temperature of the water cup located in the containing cavity 11.

[0048] In the embodiment of the application, the cup holder 1 is provided with the refrigeration element 2 and the heating element 3, and the refrigeration element 2 and the heating element 3 correspond to the position of the containing cavity 11.In this way, when the temperature of the beverage is higher than the user's demand, the refrigeration element 2 can reduce the temperature of the water cup located in the containing cavity 11, and when the temperature of the beverage is lower than the user's demand, the heating element 3 can increase the temperature of the water cup located in the containing cavity 11, so that the beverage with appropriate temperature is obtained.The cup holder assembly of the embodiment of the application can meet the different needs of users for the temperature of the beverage, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0049] It should be noted that "independent of each other" in the embodiment of the application means that the refrigeration element 2 and the heating element 3 are two independently arranged structural elements.The refrigeration element 2 and the heating element 3 of the embodiment of the application refer to structural elements that can realize heat transfer through temperature change or through the circulating flow of heat exchange medium.The specific type of the refrigeration element 2 and the heating element 3 is not limited in the embodiment of the application.In one of the embodiments, the refrigeration element 2 can be an evaporator (i.e.

[0050] The heating element 3 is a heating film, a heating wire, or other electric resistance heating structure (i.e., a structure that can achieve heat transfer by changing its own temperature). Tests show that the cup holder assembly of the present application can achieve a wide temperature range of -6℃ to 50℃ for the water cup, meeting the diverse needs of users.

[0051] In addition, the material of the cup holder 1 includes but is not limited to plastic, silica gel, metal, or other materials. The shape of the accommodating cavity 11 of the present application includes but is not limited to a cylindrical shape, a circular truncated cone shape, a prismatic shape, a prismatic truncated cone shape, or other shapes, which are not limited herein and can be adjusted according to actual needs by those skilled in the art. It can be understood that since the water cup is usually cylindrical, when the accommodating cavity 11 is cylindrical, it can better fit the water cup, not only better supporting the water cup, but also better heat exchange.

[0052] Optionally, the refrigeration element 2 and the heating element 3 are stacked. In this way, the overall size of the heating element 3 and the refrigeration element 2 can be appropriately increased, thereby increasing the heat exchange area of the heating element 3 and the cup holder 1, and the refrigeration element 2 and the cup holder 1, improving the heating and refrigeration efficiency, increasing the upper limit of heating and the lower limit of refrigeration, and being beneficial to improving the heating or cooling effect of the water cup placed in the accommodating cavity 11.

[0053] In one embodiment, the refrigeration element 2 can be connected to the cup holder 1, and the heating element 3 can be connected to the side of the refrigeration element 2 away from the cup holder 1, i.e., the refrigeration element 2 is arranged on the inner side, and the heating element 3 is arranged on the outer side. In another embodiment, the heating element 3 can be connected to the cup holder 1, and the refrigeration element 2 can be connected to the side of the heating element 3 away from the cup holder 1, i.e., the heating element 3 is arranged on the inner side, and the refrigeration element 2 is arranged on the outer side.

[0054] It can be understood that for the case where the refrigeration element 2 is an evaporator and the heating element 3 is a heating film, since the evaporator is usually made of metal (such as copper), while the heating film is composed of a heating wire and an insulating film wrapped around the heating wire, i.e., compared with the heating film, the evaporator itself has better heat conduction effect. In this way, compared with the evaporator arranged on the outer side, when the evaporator is arranged on the inner side, the evaporator can directly contact and exchange heat with the cup holder 1 during the refrigeration process, thereby improving the refrigeration effect; during the heating process, the evaporator located between the heating film and the cup holder 1 can act as a good heat conduction structure to transfer the heat generated by the heating element 3 to the cup holder 1 as much as possible to meet the heating demand.

[0055] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the connection mode of the refrigeration element 2 and the heating element 3. Taking the case where the refrigeration element 2 is arranged on the inner side and the heating element 3 is arranged on the outer side as an example, the refrigeration element 2 is fixedly connected to the cup holder 1, and the heating element 3 can be fixedly connected to the refrigeration element 2. In this way, by fixedly connecting the refrigeration element 2 and the cup holder 1, and the heating element 3 and the refrigeration element 2, the three can be reliably connected together.

[0056] When the cup holder assembly is vibrated due to driving of the vehicle, the cup holder 1, the refrigerating member 2 and the heating member 3 are not prone to be disassembled, so that reliable refrigeration and / or heating of the cup holder assembly can be achieved.

[0057] Further, the fixing connection manner of the refrigerating member 2 and the cup holder 1, and the heating member 3 and the refrigerating member 2 in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to welding (such as brazing), bonding, riveting, threaded connection and the like, and those skilled in the art can adjust according to actual needs. It can be understood that when the refrigerating member 2 is bonded to the cup holder 1, and / or the heating member 3 is bonded to the refrigerating member 2, the assembly process can be simplified and the assembly efficiency can be improved. In addition, the bonding member in the bonding manner can be selected to be a heat-conducting adhesive with good heat-conducting performance, such as silicone heat-conducting adhesive, epoxy AB adhesive, acrylic heat-conducting adhesive, polyurethane heat-conducting adhesive and the like. In this way, the cooling effect of the refrigerating member 2 on the cup holder 1 and / or the heating effect of the heating member 3 on the cup holder 1 can be further improved.

[0058] Optionally, the cup holder 1 includes a side wall 12 and a bottom wall 13 connected to each other, and the side wall 12 and the bottom wall 13 together enclose the accommodating cavity 11; the refrigerating member 2 and the heating member 3 are arranged on the side wall 12.

[0059] Specifically, the cup holder 1 includes a side wall 12 extending along the height direction thereof and a bottom wall 13 perpendicular to the height direction thereof, and the bottom wall 13 and the side wall 12 together enclose the accommodating cavity 11. Since the surface area of the side wall 12 is generally larger than that of the bottom wall 13, by arranging the refrigerating member 2 and the heating member 3 on the side wall 12, the overall size of the refrigerating member 2 and the heating member 3 can be further increased, and the heat exchange area of the refrigerating member 2 and the cup holder 1 and the heat exchange area of the heating member 3 and the cup holder 1 can be increased, which is beneficial to further improve the cooling or heating effect of the water cup placed in the accommodating cavity 11.

[0060] Generally, in order to better adapt to the water cup, the accommodating cavity 11 is generally cylindrical. Based on this, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the side wall 12 is provided with an arc-shaped portion 121 corresponding to at least part of the accommodating cavity 11; the refrigerating member 2 and the heating member 3 are arranged on the arc-shaped portion 121. By arranging the arc-shaped portion 121, at least part of the side wall 12 can be adapted to the shape of the accommodating cavity 11, that is, the distance between at least part of the outer surface of the cup holder 1 and the inner surface of the accommodating cavity 11 is substantially the same, so that when the refrigerating member 2 and the heating member 3 are arranged on the arc-shaped portion 121, the heat conduction paths of each part of the refrigerating member 2 and each part of the heating member 3 can be substantially the same, and the water cup in the accommodating cavity 11 can be cooled or heated as uniformly as possible.

[0061] Further, the refrigerating member 2 is arc-shaped to match the arc-shaped portion 121, and / or the heating member 3 is arc-shaped to match the arc-shaped portion 121. Specifically, taking the case that the refrigerating member 2 is arranged at the inner side and the heating member 3 is arranged at the outer side as an example, since the refrigerating member 2 is arc-shaped, the refrigerating member 2 can better match the arc-shaped portion 121 and be as close as possible to the arc-shaped portion 121, thereby further improving the refrigeration effect of the cup holder assembly. Since the heating member 3 is arc-shaped, the heating member 3 can better match the refrigerating member 2 and be as close as possible to the refrigerating member 2, thereby further improving the heating effect of the cup holder assembly.

[0062] Optionally, the cup holder assembly further comprises at least two accommodating cavities 11, and the at least two accommodating cavities 11 are arranged at intervals. The refrigerating member 2 comprises at least two refrigerating members 2, and one refrigerating member 2 corresponds to the position of one accommodating cavity 11. The heating member 3 comprises at least two heating members 3, and one heating member 3 corresponds to the position of one accommodating cavity 11.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, since the at least two refrigerating members 2 and the at least two heating members 3 are arranged, and one refrigerating member 2 and one heating member 3 are arranged at the corresponding positions of one accommodating cavity 11. In this way, for the case that water cups are arranged in the at least two accommodating cavities 11, the independent refrigeration or heating of the water cups in the at least two accommodating cavities 11 can be realized by controlling the working states of the refrigerating member 2 and / or the heating member 3 at the corresponding positions of the at least two accommodating cavities 11, thereby meeting different needs of users for the temperature of the drinks and being beneficial to further improving the use experience of the users. In addition, since the at least two accommodating cavities 11 are arranged at intervals, the mutual interference of the refrigeration or heating of the water cups arranged in different accommodating cavities 11 can be reduced.

[0064] It should be noted that the specific number of the accommodating cavities 11 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, and can be adjusted according to actual needs by those skilled in the art. For example, the accommodating cavities 11 can be two, three, four or other numbers. In one of the embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the cup holder assembly comprises two accommodating cavities 11, and the two accommodating cavities 11 are respectively a first accommodating cavity 111 arranged at the left side and a second accommodating cavity 112 arranged at the right side. Figure 1

[0065] Optionally, the cup holder assembly further comprises a heat preservation member, and the heat preservation member is connected to the cup holder 1 and covers at least the refrigerating member 2 and / or the heating member 3. The heat preservation member refers to a structural member capable of reducing heat transfer and loss. Specifically, the heat preservation member can be processed by foaming material, and the foaming material includes but is not limited to polyurethane foaming material.

[0066] ​In the embodiment of the present application, since the heat preservation member is arranged and covers at least the refrigerating member 2 and / or the heating member 3, the temperature exchange between the refrigerating member 2 and / or the heating member 3 and the external environment can be reduced, the heat exchange effect between the refrigerating member 2 and / or the heating member 3 and the cup holder 1 is enhanced, and the cooling or heating effect of the water cup placed in the accommodating cavity 11 is further improved. It should be noted that the heat preservation member can be arranged only on the side wall 12 of the cup holder 1, or can be arranged on both the side wall 12 and the bottom wall 13 of the cup holder 1.

[0067] In a specific application, since the refrigerating member 2 and the heating member 3 are arranged protruding from the side wall 12 of the cup holder 1, the heat preservation member is arranged with an accommodating groove close to one side of the cup holder 1, and the refrigerating member 2 and / or the heating member 3 are embedded in the accommodating groove. In this way, by embedding the refrigerating member 2 and the heating member 3 in the accommodating groove, on the one hand, the heat preservation member can be as close as possible to the outer surface of the cup holder 1, which can further reduce the loss in the heat transfer process, and the overall structure of the cup holder assembly can be more compact. On the other hand, the accommodating groove can support and protect the refrigerating member 2 and the heating member 3, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the refrigerating member 2 and the heating member 3 due to vibration or external force.

[0068] Optionally, as shown in Figures 2 to 3 the refrigerating member 2 is an evaporator. Specifically, the evaporator is provided with a heat exchange channel for the heat exchange medium to flow through and exchange heat with the cup holder 1. In this way, when the heat exchange medium flows through the heat exchange channel of the evaporator, the liquid heat exchange medium is evaporated into a gaseous state while absorbing the heat of the cup holder 1, thereby reducing the temperature of the water cup located in the corresponding accommodating cavity 11.

[0069] It should be noted that the heat exchange medium of the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to freon. In addition, the evaporator includes but is not limited to a coil type evaporator and a harmonica tube type evaporator, which are not limited herein and can be adjusted according to actual needs by those skilled in the art. Among them, the coil type evaporator and the harmonica tube type evaporator both have existing products, which will not be described here.

[0070] Further, the cup holder assembly further comprises a control valve 4 arranged at the inlet of the heat exchange channel, and the control valve 4 is used to adjust the flow and / or flow rate of the heat exchange medium entering the heat exchange channel. The control valve 4 is an electronic expansion valve.

[0071] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 the inlet of the heat exchange channel of the first evaporator 21 is provided with a first electronic expansion valve 41, and the inlet of the heat exchange channel of the second evaporator 22 is provided with a second electronic expansion valve 42. In this way, the first electronic expansion valve 41 can accurately adjust the flow of the heat exchange medium flowing into the heat exchange channel of the first evaporator 21, and the second electronic expansion valve 42 can accurately adjust the flow of the heat exchange medium flowing into the heat exchange channel of the second evaporator 22.

[0072] The second electronic expansion valve 42 can precisely adjust the flow rate and / or flow velocity of the heat exchange medium flowing into the heat exchange channel of the second evaporator 22, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency of the first evaporator 21 and the second evaporator 22.

[0073] Optionally, the heating member 3 is a heating film. For the case that the cup holder assembly is applied to a vehicle, the vehicle comprises an electric power system; the electric power system is electrically connected with the heating film to supply power to the heating film, and the heating film can generate heat to heat the cup holder 1 when the heating film is powered on. Specifically, the heating film is electrically connected with the low-voltage electric power system.

[0074] Specifically, when the heating film is powered on, the heating film generates heat to heat the cup holder 1 to increase the temperature of the water cup located in the corresponding accommodation cavity 11; when the heating film is powered off, the heating film stops generating heat to stop heating the cup holder 1 so that the temperature of the water cup located in the corresponding accommodation cavity 11 is no longer increased. It should be noted that the heating film includes but is not limited to a polyimide heating film, a graphene heating film or other types of heating films, which can be selected according to actual needs by those skilled in the art.

[0075] Optionally, the cup holder assembly further comprises a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor is arranged on the cup holder 1 and corresponds to the position of the accommodation cavity 11, and the temperature sensor is configured to collect a temperature signal of the cup holder 1. Further, the cup holder assembly further comprises a controller, the controller is electrically connected with the temperature sensor and the heating member 3 respectively, and the controller is configured to acquire the temperature signal and control the heating member 3 to heat or stop heating the cup holder 1 based on the temperature signal; the controller is also electrically connected with the control valve 4 located at the inlet of the evaporator, so as to control the opening degree of the control valve 4 based on the temperature signal. The controller can be a domain controller of the vehicle.

[0076] In the embodiments of the present application, the temperature signal of the cup holder 1 can be collected in real time by arranging the temperature sensor, and the real-time temperature of the cup holder 1 can be known. At the same time, the temperature sensor can also monitor the temperature of the heating film to avoid the problem of thermal runaway of the heating film. Since the controller is arranged, the temperature signal collected by the temperature sensor is compared with the preset heating temperature, so as to determine whether the on-off state of the heating member 3 needs to be controlled and / or the power of the heating member 3 needs to be adjusted. The temperature signal collected by the temperature sensor is compared with the preset refrigeration temperature, so as to determine whether the on-off state of the electronic expansion valve needs to be controlled and / or the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve needs to be adjusted. Therefore, the temperature of the cup holder 1 can be maintained within a predetermined temperature range.

[0077] It should be noted that the number of temperature sensors in the embodiments of the present application is not limited, and the temperature sensors can be arranged in the cup holder 1 in a distributed manner.

[0078] It should be understood that, in some embodiments, at least two temperature sensors are provided, one temperature sensor corresponding to the position of one accommodating cavity 11, so as to realize real-time detection of the temperature of the water cup in the accommodating cavity 11. Among them, the temperature sensor can adopt an existing product and be fixed on the side wall 12 of the cup holder 1 by bonding. Further, when the evaporator is a coil evaporator, as shown in Figure 2 the coil evaporator includes a plurality of pipe segments arranged at intervals in the height direction of the cup holder 1 and communicated with each other, so that the temperature sensor can be arranged at the side wall 12 between the adjacent two pipe segments, so that the temperature sensor can be as close to the heating film as possible, so that the temperature of the heating film can be more accurately obtained, and the problem of thermal runaway of the heating film can be further effectively avoided.

[0079] In summary, the cup holder assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application has at least the following advantages:

[0080] In the embodiments of the present application, the refrigerating part and the heating part are arranged on the cup holder, and the refrigerating part and the heating part correspond to the positions of the accommodating cavities. In this way, when the temperature of the beverage is higher than the user's demand, the refrigerating part can reduce the temperature of the water cup located in the accommodating cavity, and when the temperature of the beverage is lower than the user's demand, the heating part can increase the temperature of the water cup located in the accommodating cavity, so as to obtain a beverage with a suitable temperature. That is, the cup holder assembly of the embodiments of the present application can meet the different demands of users for the temperature of the beverage, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0081] The embodiments of the present application also provide a cup holder device, which comprises a first refrigerating module and the cup holder assembly described above; the first refrigerating module is connected with the refrigerating part 2, and the first refrigerating module is used to provide heat exchange medium to the refrigerating part 2, so as to exchange heat between the refrigerating part 2 and the cup holder 1 and reduce the temperature of the water cup located in the accommodating cavity 11. That is, the source of the heat exchange medium of the refrigerating part 2 can be an independent compressor system.

[0082] Specifically, the refrigerating part 2 is an evaporator, and the first refrigerating module comprises a first compressor connected with the evaporator to provide heat exchange medium to the evaporator. In this way, the circulation of the heat exchange medium can be realized, so that the cup holder 1 can be continuously refrigerated, which is beneficial to improve the refrigeration effect of the cup holder assembly.

[0083] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the structure of the cup holder assembly is the same as that of the cup holder assembly described in any of the above embodiments, and the beneficial effects are similar, which will not be repeated here.

[0084] Furthermore, the cup holder device also includes a first condenser; the outlet of the evaporator (i.e., the outlet of the heat exchange channel) is connected to the inlet of the first compressor, the outlet of the first compressor is connected to the inlet of the first condenser, and the outlet of the first condenser is connected to the inlet of the evaporator (i.e., the inlet of the heat exchange channel), thereby realizing the circulation of the heat exchange medium. The first compressor is used to compress the low-temperature, low-pressure heat exchange medium into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas and provide power for the circulation of the heat exchange medium. The first condenser is used to cool and liquefy the high-temperature, high-pressure gas discharged from the first compressor into a medium-temperature liquid. In addition, the cup holder device may also include a first gas-liquid separator for separating the gas and liquid. The inlet of the first gas-liquid separator is connected to the outlet of the heat exchange channel of the first evaporator 21 and the second evaporator 22, respectively, and the outlet of the first gas-liquid separator is connected to the inlet of the first compressor, thereby allowing only gas to enter the downstream first compressor and first condenser, thus protecting the downstream equipment.

[0085] This application embodiment also provides an air conditioning system, including a second refrigeration module and the aforementioned cup holder assembly; the second refrigeration module is connected to the refrigeration component 2, and the second refrigeration module is used to provide a heat exchange medium to the refrigeration component 2, so that the refrigeration component 2 exchanges heat with the cup holder 1 and reduces the temperature of the water cup located in the receiving cavity 11.
