Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cinema seat cup holder technology, specifically relating to an adjustable cup holder device for cinema seats. Background Technology
[0002] Cinema seat cup holders are devices installed on or next to the armrests of cinema seats to hold the audience's beverage cups. Generally, cinemas will install cup holders on the outermost side of the armrests on both sides of each row of seats.
[0003] Current cup holders are fixed to the armrests and cannot adjust their depth according to the depth of the beverages carried by the viewer. When the beverage bottle is tall (e.g., a large Fanta), it protrudes from the cup holder. This results in two problems during movie watching: firstly, the viewer's hands cannot be fully supported on the armrest, affecting comfort; secondly, if too much of the beverage bottle protrudes, it is easy to tip over. Therefore, a technical solution is proposed to address the problems of current cup holders not being able to adjust their depth according to the depth of the beverages carried, the inability to fully support the viewer's hands when carrying tall beverages, the risk of tipping over when the beverage bottle protrudes, and the risk of the beverage bottle tipping over when touched. Utility Model Content
[0004] (1) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable cup holder device for cinema seats. This device aims to solve the problems of existing cup holders not being able to adjust their depth according to the depth of the beverage carried by the audience, the inability of the audience's hands to be fully placed on the armrests when the beverage bottle is high, resulting in ineffective support and affecting comfort, and the easy tipping of the beverage bottle when it is exposed too much.
[0006] (2) Technical solution
[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an adjustable cup holder device for cinema seats, comprising a fixed cup holder and a movable cup holder. A round rod and a vertical rod are mounted on the lower surface of the fixed cup holder. The vertical rod has a toothed groove on its side. The round rod and the vertical rod are symmetrically installed. A compression ring is mounted at the lower end of both the vertical and round rods. Two sets of symmetrically distributed first springs are mounted on the upper surface of the compression rings. The upper ends of the first springs are installed inside the movable cup holder. A limiting component is mounted on the upper side of the movable cup holder. Thanks to the design of the movable cup holder, vertical rod, and round rod, the relative height between the movable and fixed cup holders can be easily adjusted, thus better accommodating the depth of beverage bottles and ensuring that the bottles can be placed in the cup holder. This allows the audience's hands to rest fully on the armrests, providing effective hand support and ensuring comfort. It also prevents excessive leakage of the beverage bottle, thus preventing it from easily tipping over. Furthermore, the limiting component allows for easy fixation of the adjusted position of the movable cup holder, ensuring that the relative position between the movable and fixed cup holders remains unchanged.
[0008] Furthermore, the round rod and the vertical rod are slidably adapted to the movable cup holder, and the compression ring is slidably connected to the movable cup holder.
[0009] Furthermore, the fixed cup holder is connected to a handrail on its side.
[0010] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a box body, which is fixedly installed on the upper side of the movable cup holder, and a sliding groove is provided on the upper surface of the box body.
[0011] Furthermore, the slide groove is slidably connected to a movable plate, and pull rings are installed on both sides of the upper part of the movable plate, while limit plates are installed on both sides of the lower part of the movable plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the limiting plate is slidably connected to a sliding rod, and there are two sets of sliding rods. The two sets of sliding rods are fixedly installed inside the box, and a second spring is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod.
[0013] Furthermore, one end of the second spring is installed on the side of the limiting plate away from the movable cup holder, and the other end of the second spring is installed on the inner side wall of the box.
[0014] Furthermore, a connecting rod is installed at the middle position of the side of the movable plate away from the second spring. The other end of the connecting rod is connected to a side plate, and the other end of the side plate is provided with a locking tooth that fits into the tooth groove.
[0015] (3) Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] This invention, through the design of a movable cup holder, a vertical rod, and a round rod, facilitates the adjustment of the relative height between the movable and fixed cup holders, thereby better accommodating the depth of beverage bottles and ensuring that the bottles can be placed in the cup holder. This allows the audience's hands to rest fully on the handrail, providing effective support and ensuring comfort. It also prevents the beverage bottles from protruding too much, thus preventing them from easily tipping over when touched. Pulling down on the movable cup holder causes it to move downwards, causing the vertical rod and round rod to slide along it. The downward movement of the movable cup holder compresses the first spring.
[0018] The limiting component allows for easy fixation of the movable cup holder after adjustment, ensuring that the relative positions of the movable and fixed cup holders remain unchanged. Pulling the pull ring moves the side plate and locking teeth, causing the locking teeth to disengage from the tooth groove, thus releasing the limit on the vertical rod. After adjusting the movable cup holder, releasing the pull ring allows the second spring to return the locking teeth to engage with the tooth groove, completing the fixation of the vertical rod.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0026] This specific embodiment is an adjustable cup holder device for cinema seats, and its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a fixed cup holder 3 and a movable cup holder 5. A round rod 8 is mounted on the lower surface of the fixed cup holder 3, and a vertical rod 4 is mounted on the lower surface of the fixed cup holder 3. The vertical rod 4 has a toothed groove 9 on its side. The round rod 8 and the vertical rod 4 are symmetrically installed. A compression ring 7 is installed at the lower end of the vertical rod 4 and the round rod 8. Two sets of symmetrically distributed first springs 6 are mounted on the upper surface of the compression ring 7. The upper end of the first spring 6 is installed inside the movable cup holder 5. A limit component 2 is installed on the upper side of the movable cup holder 5. The round rod 8, the vertical rod 4 and the movable cup holder 5 are slidably adapted to each other. The compression ring 7 and the movable cup holder 5 are slidably adapted to each other. The cup holder 5 is slidably connected, and the fixed cup holder 3 is connected to the armrest 1 on its side. In actual use, the fixed cup holder 3 and the movable cup holder 5 are installed on both sides of the cinema seat via the armrest 1. When it is necessary to place a beverage bottle, depending on the depth of the beverage bottle, for example, to increase the depth, first adjust the movable cup holder 5. First, release the limiting component 2 from limiting the vertical rod 4 and the toothed groove 9, and then pull the movable cup holder 5 down. The movable cup holder 5 moves downward, causing the vertical rod 4 and the round rod 8 to slide along the movable cup holder 5. The downward movement of the movable cup holder 5 compresses the first spring 6 (e.g., Figure 1 As shown, the first spring 6 is located in the middle of the movable cup holder 5 at this time, and the movable cup holder 5 can be adjusted to move up or down. When the depth of the movable cup holder 5 is appropriate, the limiting component 2 is released, and the vertical rod 4 is continued to be limited (when adjusting the depth, one hand controls the movable cup holder 5 and the other hand controls the limiting component 2).
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the limiting component 2 includes a box body 201, which is fixedly installed on the upper side of the movable cup holder 5. A groove 202 is formed on the upper surface of the box body 201, and a movable plate 203 is slidably connected to the groove 202. Pull rings 204 are installed on both sides of the upper part of the movable plate 203, and limiting plates 205 are installed on both sides of the lower part of the movable plate 203. Two sets of sliding rods 207 are slidably connected to the limiting plates 205, and both sets are fixedly installed inside the box body 201. A second spring 206 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rods 207. One end of the second spring 206 is installed on the side of the limiting plate 205 away from the movable cup holder 5, and the other end is installed on the inner side wall of the box body 201. A connecting rod 208 is installed at the middle position of the side of the movable plate 203 away from the second spring 206. The other end of the connecting rod 208 is connected to a side plate 209, and the other end of the side plate 209 is provided with a locking tooth 210. The locking tooth 210 is properly engaged with the tooth groove 9. Pulling the pull ring 204 causes the pull ring 204 to move, which in turn moves the moving plate 203 along the slide groove 202. When the moving plate 203 moves, it causes the limiting plate 205 to move along the slide rod 207. When the limiting plate 205 moves, it compresses the second spring 206. When the moving plate 203 moves, it causes the connecting rod 208 to move. The moving rod 208 causes the side plate 209 and the locking tooth 210 to move. The locking tooth 210 moves and disengages from the tooth groove 9, thereby releasing the limit on the vertical rod 4. The movable cup holder 5 is adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the pull ring 204 is released. Under the rebound action of the second spring 206, the locking tooth 210 is engaged with the tooth groove 9, thus completing the fixation of the vertical rod 4.
[0028] Working principle: In actual use, the fixed cup holder 3 and the movable cup holder 5 are installed on both sides of the cinema seat via the armrest 1. When it is necessary to place a beverage bottle, depending on the depth of the beverage bottle, for example, to increase the depth, first adjust the movable cup holder 5. First, release the limiting component 2 from limiting the vertical rod 4 and the toothed groove 9, and then pull the movable cup holder 5 downward. The movable cup holder 5 moves downward, causing the vertical rod 4 and the round rod 8 to slide along the movable cup holder 5. The downward movement of the movable cup holder 5 compresses the first spring 6 (e.g., Figure 1 As shown, the first spring 6 is located in the middle of the movable cup holder 5 at this time (it can adjust the movable cup holder 5 to move up or down). When the depth of the movable cup holder 5 is appropriate, the limiting component 2 is released, and the vertical rod 4 continues to be limited (when adjusting the depth, one hand controls the movable cup holder 5 and the other hand controls the limiting component 2). Through the setting of the movable cup holder 5, the vertical rod 4, and the round rod 8, it is convenient to adjust the relative height between the movable cup holder 5 and the fixed cup holder 3, so as to better adapt to the depth of the beverage bottle, ensure that the beverage bottle can be put into the cup holder, and make it convenient for the audience to place their hands completely on the handrail 1, so that their hands are effectively supported, ensuring comfort, and preventing the beverage bottle from being exposed too much, thus preventing the beverage bottle from being easily knocked over when touched.
[0029] The specific working method of the limiting component 2 is as follows: pulling the pull ring 204 causes the moving plate 203 to move along the slide groove 202. When the moving plate 203 moves, it causes the limiting plate 205 to move along the slide rod 207. When the limiting plate 205 moves, it compresses the second spring 206. When the moving plate 203 moves, it causes the connecting rod 208 to move. When the connecting rod 208 moves, it causes the side plate 209 and the locking tooth 210 to move. When the locking tooth 210 moves, it disengages from the tooth groove 9, thereby releasing the limiting of the vertical rod 4. The movable cup holder 5 is then adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the pull ring 204 is released. Under the rebound action of the second spring 206, the locking tooth 210 is driven to lock the tooth groove 9, thus completing the fixation of the vertical rod 4. Through the setting of the limiting component 2, it is convenient to fix the position of the movable cup holder 5 after adjustment, thereby ensuring that the relative position between the movable cup holder 5 and the fixed cup holder 3 does not change.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
