AI Technical Summary
The existing flip cup holders and locking devices are easily accidentally touched by passengers when their hands are on the armrests, causing the cup holders to open unexpectedly.
The design incorporates a cup holder base, a linkage component, a flip cup holder, a locking and lifting bracket, and a drive source. The locking and lifting device, through the cooperation of a side locking pin and a locking clearance through hole, prevents the cup holder from accidentally flipping over. When needed, the drive source drives the flip cup holder to flip over, and the locking and lifting bracket rises in conjunction with it to form a cup holder that can accommodate the cup.
This effectively prevents the cup holder from accidentally opening when touched, improving its reliability and safety, and maintaining the cleanliness and convenience of the car interior.

[0017] 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.
[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a flip cup holder for a seat armrest includes a cup holder base 1, a linkage component 3 housed in the cup holder base 1, a flip cup holder 2 rotatably connected to the cup holder base 1, a locking lifting bracket 4 slidably connected to the inner side of the cup holder base 1, and a drive source 5 connected between the cup holder base 1 and the flip cup holder 2 for driving the flip cup holder 2 to flip. The first end of the linkage component 3 is hinged to the bottom of the cup holder base 1, the second end of the linkage component 3 is hinged to the bottom of the flip cup holder 2, and the third end of the linkage component 3 is hinged to the locking lifting bracket 4. The locking lifting bracket 4 has a locking slot 6 on the side near the cup holder base 1, and the cup holder base 1 has a locking clearance through hole 7 on the side near the locking lifting bracket 4 for a side lock pin to be inserted into the locking slot 6 for locking engagement.
[0019] The flip cup holder of this seat armrest comprises a cup holder base 1, a linkage component 3, a flip cup holder 2 rotatably connected to the cup holder base 1, a locking lifting bracket 4 slidably connected to the inner side of the cup holder base 1, and a drive source 5 connected between the cup holder base 1 and the flip cup holder 2 for driving the flip cup holder 2 to flip. The first end of the linkage component 3 is hinged to the bottom of the cup holder base 1, the second end of the linkage component 3 is hinged to the bottom of the flip cup holder 2, and the third end of the linkage component 3 is hinged to the locking lifting bracket 4. The locking lifting bracket 4 has a locking slot 6 on the side near the cup holder base 1, and the cup holder base 1 has a locking clearance through hole 7 on the side near the locking lifting bracket 4 for the side lock pin to be inserted into the locking slot 6 for locking engagement. By using the existing side lock stop pin through the locking clearance through hole 7 and inserting it into the locking slot 6 to lock and engage, the cup holder 2 is prevented from accidentally flipping open. When the side lock stop pin is removed from the locking slot 6 and the lock is released, the cup holder 2 is driven to flip under the action of the drive source 5. At the same time, the linkage component 3 drives the locking lifting bracket 4 to rise, forming a cup holder that can accommodate the cup.
[0020] Furthermore, the driving source 5 is a first torsion spring, and the two outer sides of the flip cup holder 2 have protruding first rotating shafts 8. The first torsion spring is sleeved on the first rotating shafts 8. The two outer sides of the cup holder base 1 are provided with first limiting frames 9. One end of the first torsion spring abuts against the flip cup holder 2, and the other end of the first torsion spring extends into and abuts against the first limiting frame 9. When the side lock pin is withdrawn from the locking slot 6 and the lock is released, the flip cup holder 2 is driven to flip under the torque of the first torsion spring. At the same time, the linkage component 3 drives the locking lifting bracket 4 to rise. The first limiting frame 9 helps to prevent the other end of the first torsion spring from disengaging from the first limiting frame 9 and thus failing to play its role in driving the flip cup holder 2 to flip.
[0021] Furthermore, the linkage assembly 3 includes a first linkage rod 31, a second linkage rod 32 hinged to the middle of the first linkage rod 31, and a third linkage rod 33 hinged to one end of the first linkage rod 31. The other end of the first linkage rod 31 is hinged to the bottom of the cup holder base 1. The end of the second linkage rod 32 away from the first linkage rod 31 is hinged to the middle of the locking lifting bracket 4. The end of the third linkage rod 33 away from the first linkage rod 31 is hinged to the bottom of the flip cup holder 2. When the drive source 5 drives the flip cup holder 2 to flip open, the locking lifting bracket 4 rises under the linkage of the first linkage rod 31, the second linkage rod 32, and the third linkage rod 33. Conversely, when the flip cup holder 2 is closed, the locking lifting bracket 4 falls under the linkage of the first linkage rod 31, the second linkage rod 32, and the third linkage rod 33, so that the existing side locking pin can pass through the locking clearance through hole 7 and be inserted into the locking slot 6 for locking engagement.
[0022] Furthermore, the inner side of the cup holder base 1 is recessed with an active space 10, and the cup holder base 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 11 on both sides of the active space 10. The locking lifting bracket 4 is provided with a second sliding groove 12 on both sides, and the first sliding groove 11 and the second sliding groove 12 are in a limiting sliding cooperation.
[0023] Furthermore, a damping hole 13 is provided on one side of the cup holder base 1, and the flip cup holder also includes a gear damper 14 that is engaged with the damping hole 13. An arc-shaped rack 15 that meshes with the gear damper 14 is provided on one side of the flip cup holder 2.
[0024] Furthermore, the top of the flip cup holder 2 is symmetrically provided with cup clamp clearance through holes 16. The flip cup holder also includes a second rotating shaft 17 fixedly disposed on the top of the flip cup holder 2, a first cup clamp 18 rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 17, a second cup clamp 19 rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 17, and a second torsion spring 20 sleeved on the second rotating shaft 17. The clamping parts of the first cup clamp 18 and the second cup clamp 19 respectively pass through the two cup clamp clearance through holes 16. The top surface of the first cup clamp 18 is provided with a second limiting frame 21, and the top surface of the second cup clamp 19 is provided with a third limiting frame 22. The two ends of the second torsion spring 20 extend into and abut against the second limiting frame 21 and the third limiting frame 22 respectively. When the flip cup holder is in the open state, the clamping parts of the first cup clamp 18 and the second cup clamp 19 are more conducive to clamping the cup body under the torsion of the second torsion spring 20, preventing the cup body from moving.
[0025] Furthermore, the top of the flip cup holder 2 is covered with a cover plate 23, which on the one hand covers the top structure of the flip cup holder 2 to improve the product appearance, and on the other hand helps to prevent foreign objects from falling into the flip cup holder 2.
[0026] Furthermore, the top of the flip cup holder 2 has a first buckle 24 and a second buckle 25 protruding from it, and the bottom of the cover plate 23 is provided with a first buckle groove 26 that engages with the first buckle 24 and a first buckle hook 27 that engages with the second buckle 25, which makes assembly easier.
[0027] 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.
