[0019] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a flip-up cup holder for a car seat includes a side base 1, a cup holder body 2 rotatably connected to the side base 1 via a first rotating shaft 27, a locking assembly 3 hinged to the top of the side base 1 and used to lock the cup holder body 2, a guide rod 4 passing through the cup holder body 2 and disposed adjacent to the first rotating shaft 27, and a drive source 5 connected between the side base 1 and the first rotating shaft 27 and used to drive the first rotating shaft 27 and the cup holder body 2 to flip. An arc-shaped limiting guide groove 6 is provided on the inner side of the side base 1, and the end of the guide rod 4 slides in cooperation with the arc-shaped limiting guide groove 6.

[0021] The car seat flip cup holder has a locking assembly 3 hinged to the top of the side base 1, making it easier for passengers to identify. When the flip cup holder needs to be opened, pressing the locking assembly 3 releases the lock on the cup holder body 2, and the drive source 5 drives the first rotating shaft 27 and the cup holder body 2 to flip. In addition, during the flipping process, the guide rod 4 slides with the arc-shaped limiting guide groove 6, while the arc-shaped limiting guide groove 6 restricts the sliding position of the guide rod 4, preventing the cup holder body 2 from flipping excessively and causing it to tip over when carrying heavy objects such as cups. Preferably, an unlocking button that cooperates with the locking assembly 3 can be added to the top of the side base 1, and pressing the unlocking button releases the lock assembly 3 from locking the cup holder body 2.

[0022] Furthermore, the locking assembly 3 includes a connecting rod 31 hinged to the top of the side base 1, a locking head 32 hinged to one end of the connecting rod 31, and a return spring 33 connected to the other end of the connecting rod 31 and abutting against the top of the side base 1. The side base 1 has a guide hole 7, and the cup holder body 2 has a locking groove 8. The locking head 32 is slidably disposed in the guide hole 7 and is used to engage with the locking groove 8. When the cup holder is closed in the flipped-up state of the car seat, the return spring 33 lifts the other end of the connecting rod 31, causing one end of the connecting rod 31 to press down and drive the locking head 32 to slide down and engage with the locking groove 8. When the other end of the connecting rod 31 is pressed down, one end of the connecting rod 31 rises, causing the locking head 32 to rise, and the locking head 32 disengages from the locking groove 8, thereby releasing the lock on the cup holder body 2.

[0023] Furthermore, the other end of the connecting rod 31 protrudes from the limiting post 9, and the top of the side base 1 is provided with a spring limiting groove 10. One end of the return spring 33 is sleeved on the limiting post 9, and the other end of the return spring 33 is limited and matched with the spring limiting groove 10, which helps to prevent the return spring 33 from being displaced and detached from the connecting rod 31 and the side base 1.

[0024] Furthermore, the driving source 5 is a torsion spring, and a bushing 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 27. The bushing 11 has a first limiting groove 12. A hook part 13 protrudes from the outer end face of the side base 1. The torsion spring is sleeved on the bushing 11. The two ends of the torsion spring are respectively engaged with the hook part 13 and the first limiting groove 12. The bushing 11 is driven by the torsion spring, which drives the first rotating shaft 27 and the cup holder body 2 to rotate.

[0025] Furthermore, a damping mounting groove 14 is provided on the outer end face of the cup holder body 2, and a gear damper 15 is fixedly installed in the damping mounting groove 14. An arc-shaped rack 16 that meshes with the gear damper 15 is provided on the inner side of the side base 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the cup holder body 2 has a cup holder groove 17, and a hinge groove 18 is formed on one side of the cup holder groove 17. The hinge groove 18 is hinged to a cup claw 19 via a second rotating shaft 28. A first torsion spring 20 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 28. A second limiting groove 21 is formed on the inner wall of the hinge groove 18. A torsion spring receiving groove for accommodating the first torsion spring 20 is formed at the end of the cup claw 19 that is hinged to the hinge groove 18. The torsion spring receiving groove has a third limiting groove. The two ends of the first torsion spring 20 are respectively engaged with the second limiting groove 21 and the third limiting groove. The first torsion spring 20 assists the cup claw 19 in gripping heavy objects such as water cups, further preventing the cup holder body 2 from overturning and causing the heavy objects to tip over when bearing water cups.

[0027] Furthermore, a limiting slot 22 is provided on the inner wall of the hinge groove 18. The limiting slot 22 is connected to a first rubber buffer 23 that abuts against the cup claw 19. This helps to increase the resistance of the cup claw 19 when it is spread open, and further prevents the cup holder body 2 from overturning and causing the heavy object to tip over when bearing a water cup or other heavy object.

[0028] Furthermore, the side base 1 is provided with a cup holder receiving groove 24, and the cup holder receiving groove 24 is provided with a limiting insertion hole 25. The limiting insertion hole 25 is connected to a second rubber buffer 26 for abutting against the cup holder body 2, which helps to prevent the cup holder body 2 from hitting the cup holder receiving groove 24 and producing abnormal noise when the cup holder body 2 is closed in the side base 1.

[0029] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
