Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a car cup holder and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Cars are an important means of transportation in daily life. Users can place cups, water bottles, and other liquid containers in the cup holders located on the center console. Cup holders, as in-car storage devices, greatly enhance user convenience and provide a more comfortable driving experience. However, many electronic components, such as the car's main unit and airbags, are located below the center console. If liquid is accidentally spilled, it can easily flow into the bottom of the cup holder or seep into the center console, dripping onto these electronic components and causing them to malfunction.

[0003] Existing car cup holders are usually open designs and lack effective waterproofing measures. Although some cup holders are designed with simple drainage holes, they cannot effectively prevent liquid leakage, and the drainage holes are easily blocked, affecting the drainage performance of the cup holder's drainage holes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main technical problem solved by this application is to provide a car cup holder and vehicle that can prevent liquid from overflowing from the through hole of the cup holder, thus protecting the electronic components in the instrument panel.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one technical solution adopted in this application is: providing a car cup holder, the car cup holder including a cup holder body, a claw, and a water-blocking component, the cup holder body including a receiving groove, the groove wall of the receiving groove having a through hole; the claw is rotatably disposed in the through hole via a first elastic member, the first elastic member being used to drive the claw to rotate toward the receiving groove; the water-blocking component is movably disposed outside the receiving groove, and the water-blocking component is elastically connected to the cup holder body via a second elastic member, the second elastic member being used to drive the water-blocking component to abut against the claw exposed outside the receiving groove, wherein, as the claw rotates toward the direction outside the receiving groove, the second elastic member drives the water-blocking component to move toward the direction closer to the through hole, so that the water-blocking component can cover the outside of the bottom wall of the through hole.

[0006] Preferably, the cup holder body further includes a water guide groove, which surrounds the receiving groove and is located on the side of the through hole facing the bottom of the receiving groove.

[0007] Preferably, the water guide channel is inclined relative to the horizontal plane in its extension direction, and a water guide outlet is provided at the lowest point of the water guide channel.

[0008] Preferably, the water inlet is disposed on the side wall of the water guide channel away from the receiving channel, and the bottom edge of the water inlet is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the water guide channel.

[0009] Preferably, the second elastic element is a compression spring, with its bottom end connected to the water guide groove and its top end connected to the water-blocking element.

[0010] Preferably, an mounting plate is connected to the outer wall of the receiving groove, the mounting plate is located inside the water guiding groove, and the bottom end of the second elastic member is connected to the mounting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the water-blocking component includes a base plate and a baffle. The base plate is connected to the second elastic member, and both ends of the base plate extend away from the second elastic member. The baffle is connected to the side of the base plate away from the receiving groove. The base plate is located on the side of the through hole near the bottom of the receiving groove.

[0012] Preferably, multiple claws and water-blocking components are provided along the circumference of the receiving groove, and the water-blocking components are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the claws.

[0013] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a vehicle, including a sub-instrument and a car cup holder as described in any embodiment, wherein the sub-instrument has an opening and the car cup holder is disposed in the opening.

[0014] Preferably, the sub-instrument panel further includes an upper trim panel, the vehicle cup holder is disposed above the upper trim panel, and the upper trim panel is provided with a drain outlet corresponding to the water guide of the vehicle cup holder.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike existing technologies, this application provides a water-blocking component outside the cup holder body, and the water-blocking component is linked with the locking claw. When the locking claw is in the closed state, the through hole is sealed by the locking claw, the water-blocking component abuts against the bottom of the locking claw, and at this time, the second elastic element is in an energy-storing state. Figure 3 As shown, as the jaw rotates outward from the receiving groove, the through hole below the jaw opens, connecting the inside and outside of the receiving groove. As the jaw's bottom surface gradually rises during rotation, the second elastic element releases energy, driving the water-blocking component to move towards the through hole, i.e., upward. The water-blocking component remains in contact with the bottom surface of the jaw, ensuring it blocks the liquid from flowing out of the receiving groove due to the water-blocking component's obstruction. When liquid in the receiving groove crosses the bottom wall of the through hole, it cannot flow out of the receiving groove due to the water-blocking component, thus protecting the electronic components inside the auxiliary instrument.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this application clearer and more explicit, the following detailed description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of one embodiment of the car cup holder of this application. The car cup holder 10 includes a cup holder body 1, a claw 2, and a water-retaining component 3.

[0024] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the car cup holder of this application. Figure 2 The water-blocking component is omitted. The cup holder body 1 includes a receiving groove 11 for accommodating containers such as water cups and bottles. The receiving groove 11 includes at least one mounting position (not shown). Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving groove 11 includes two mounting positions that are interconnected, and each mounting position can fix a container. The groove wall of the receiving groove 11 is provided with through holes 111. Specifically, in this embodiment, the groove wall of the receiving groove 11 is provided with six through holes 111 spaced apart, and each mounting position is provided with three through holes 111. The through holes 111 penetrate the side wall of the receiving groove 11 and connect the inner and outer sides of the receiving groove 11.

[0025] The claw 2 is rotatably mounted in the through hole 111 via a first elastic element 21, which drives the claw 2 to rotate toward the receiving groove 11. Specifically, the claw 2 has a rotating shaft 22 at its top, and the claw 2 is rotatably connected to the receiving groove 11 via the rotating shaft 22. A torsion spring, which serves as the first elastic element 21, is sleeved on the rotating shaft 22, providing the driving force for the rotation of the claw 2. A limiting plate 23 protrudes from the periphery of the claw 2 away from the receiving groove 11. When the receiving groove 11 is empty, the torsion spring drives the claw 2 to rotate toward the inside of the receiving groove 11 through the through hole 111 until the limiting plate 23 abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove 11 around the through hole 111, at which point the claw 2 is in a closed state. When a container is placed into the receiving groove 11, the claw 2 is subjected to the outward pressure of the container, and the claw 2 overcomes the force of the torsion spring and rotates toward the outside of the receiving groove 11 through the through hole 111, at which point the claw 2 is in an open state, and part of the through hole 111 below the claw 2 is exposed. At this time, when liquid spills from the container into the receiving tank 11, the liquid in the receiving tank 11 can easily flow out of the receiving tank 11 through the exposed through hole 111, and flow into or seep into the secondary instrument along the outside of the cup holder, which can easily cause the electronic components in the secondary instrument to fail.

[0026] In view of this, this application provides a water-blocking component 3 on the outside of the cup holder body 1, and the water-blocking component 3 is linked with the claw 2. The water-blocking component 3 is movably disposed outside the receiving groove 11, and the water-blocking component 3 is elastically connected to the cup holder body 1 through a second elastic member 31. The second elastic member 31 is used to drive the water-blocking component 3 to abut against the claw 2 exposed outside the receiving groove 11. Specifically, a vertically extending groove (not shown) may be provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 11, and the water-blocking component 3 is slidably disposed in the groove, so that the water-blocking component 3 can move vertically along the outer side wall of the receiving groove 11. There are 6 water-blocking components 3, which are arranged one-to-one with the claw 2.

[0027] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the claw of the car cup holder in the closed state according to this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the claw of the car cup holder in the open state. Figure 3 As shown, when the claw 2 is in the closed state, the through hole 111 is sealed by the claw 2, and the water-blocking member 3 abuts against the bottom of the claw 2. At this time, the second elastic member 31 is in the energy storage state. Figure 4As shown, as the chuck 2 rotates outward from the receiving groove 11, the through hole 111 below the chuck 2 opens, allowing the inside and outside of the receiving groove 11 to connect through the through hole 111. As the bottom surface of the chuck 2 gradually rises during rotation, the second elastic element 31 releases energy, driving the water-blocking element 3 to move closer to the through hole 111, i.e., upward. The water-blocking element 3 remains in contact with the bottom surface of the chuck 2, thus blocking the water from flowing outward from the bottom wall of the through hole 111. When the liquid in the receiving groove 11 crosses the bottom wall of the through hole 111, the water-blocking element 3 prevents the liquid from flowing out of the receiving groove 111, thereby protecting the electronic components inside the auxiliary instrument.

[0028] Optionally, continue reading Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 2 The image shows a front view of a car cup holder. In some embodiments, the cup holder body 1 further includes a water guide groove 12, which surrounds the receiving groove 11 and is located on the side of the through hole 111 facing the bottom of the receiving groove 11. Because the water guide groove 12 is located below the through hole 111 and surrounds the receiving groove 11, it can not only catch liquid overflowing from the opening of the receiving groove 11 but also liquid overflowing from the through hole 111. For example, when the amount of liquid overflowing is large and the water-blocking member 3 cannot completely block the liquid, the water guide groove 12 can also catch and store or guide the overflowing liquid, preventing it from affecting the performance of electronic components. Furthermore, since the water guide groove 12 of this application is located on the outside of the receiving groove 11, it is convenient to clean stains or highly viscous liquid residues in the water guide groove 12.

[0029] Specifically, the opening of the water guide trough 12 faces upward, allowing it to receive liquid overflowing from the receiving tank 11 above. The water guide trough 12 has an overall structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, meaning that the width of the opening is greater than the width of the bottom of the water guide trough 12. This design allows the water guide trough 12 to receive a larger area of ​​overflowing liquid, and the inclined walls of the water guide trough 12 can also guide the liquid to slide down the walls to the bottom of the tank for storage.

[0030] Optionally, continue reading Figure 2 and combined Figure 5The water guide channel 12 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and a water guide port 121 is provided at the lowest point of the water guide channel 12. The inclined setting of the water guide channel 12 allows the liquid in the water guide channel 12 to collect at the lowest point of the water guide channel 12 along the inclined direction and flow out from the water guide port 121, guiding the liquid out of the cup holder. It should be noted that the inclined direction of the water guide channel 12 and the specific position of the water guide port 121 should be set according to the actual internal structure and installation method of the auxiliary instrument. The specific principle is that the water guide port 121 should avoid the electronic components in the auxiliary instrument and be set to correspond to the water guiding structure in the auxiliary instrument, so that the liquid discharged from the water guide channel 12 is away from the electronic components and can be quickly discharged from the auxiliary instrument.

[0031] Optionally, continue reading Figure 2 The water inlet 121 is located on the side wall of the water guide trough 12 away from the receiving trough 11, and the bottom edge of the water inlet 121 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the water guide trough 12. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the water inlet 121 is a non-through opening that does not extend to the bottom of the water channel 12. This arrangement allows the water channel 12 to store a small amount of liquid. When there is a large amount of liquid, exceeding the bottom edge of the water inlet 121, the liquid can flow out of the water channel 12 from the water inlet 121.

[0032] Optionally, continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the second elastic element 31 is a compression spring, with its bottom end connected to the water guide groove 12 and its top end connected to the water-blocking element 3. This arrangement ensures that even if liquid overflows from the water-blocking element 3, the water guide groove 12 can still catch the overflowing liquid. Furthermore, the structure is compact, and the water guide groove 12 can protect the compression spring and the water-blocking element 3 from external impacts.

[0033] Optionally, continue reading Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 In some embodiments, a mounting plate 32 is connected to the outer wall of the receiving groove 11. The mounting plate 32 is located inside the water guiding groove 12, and the bottom end of the second elastic member 31 is connected to the mounting plate 32. The mounting plate 32 is used to support the bottom of the second elastic member 31. The mounting plate 32 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the water guiding groove 12, that is, the mounting plate 32 is located above the bottom wall of the water guiding groove 12, so that there is a certain distance between the second elastic member 31 and the bottom wall of the water guiding groove 12. When a small amount of liquid is stored in the water guiding groove 12, the second elastic member 31 is not easily immersed in the liquid, reducing the impact of the liquid on the second elastic member 31, such as corrosion caused by long-term immersion, or the viscous liquid causing the second elastic member 31 to stick together.

[0034] Optionally, see Figure 6 , Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the water-blocking component of this application. In some embodiments, the water-blocking component 3 includes a base plate 33 and a baffle 34. The base plate 33 is connected to the second elastic member 31, and both ends of the base plate 33 extend away from the second elastic member 31. The baffle 34 is connected to the side of the base plate 33 away from the receiving groove 11. The base plate 33 is located on the side of the through hole 111 near the bottom of the receiving groove 11. The base plate 33 and the baffle 34 can form a U-shaped groove. When liquid overflows from the through hole 111, it first flows into the U-shaped groove, which can store a certain amount of leaked liquid. Specifically, the width of the water-blocking component 3 should be greater than or equal to the width of the through hole 111 to ensure all-round protection against leakage. Optionally, in this embodiment, the opening width at the top of the water-blocking component 3 is greater than the width at the bottom. This arrangement allows the water-blocking component 3 to receive a larger range of overflowing liquid, and the groove walls on both sides of the inclined base plate 33 can also guide the liquid to slide down the groove walls to the bottom of the groove for storage.

[0035] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the water-blocking member 3 may consist of only a baffle 34, which is always in contact with the outer wall of the receiving groove 11 to prevent liquid from flowing out from the bottom edge of the through hole 111. In other embodiments, the water-blocking member 3 may also be of other shapes.

[0036] This application also provides a vehicle including a sub-instrument panel and a cup holder according to any of the above embodiments. The sub-instrument panel has an opening, and the cup holder is disposed in the opening. The vehicle of this application can prevent accidentally spilled water from dripping through the through hole 111 with claw 2 onto the electronic components inside the sub-instrument panel and causing malfunction.

[0037] Optionally, the sub-instrument panel also includes an upper trim panel, with a cup holder positioned above it. The upper trim panel has a drain outlet corresponding to the cup holder's water inlet 121. When water in the water channel 12 flows out from the water inlet 121, it can flow from the drain outlet of the upper trim panel of the sub-instrument panel to the outside of the sub-instrument panel, preventing water from flowing onto the electronic components below the sub-instrument panel.

[0038] The vehicles provided in this application can be pure gasoline vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, or pure electric vehicles, and are also applicable to any other type of vehicle, such as SUVs, off-road vehicles, commercial vehicles, etc.

[0039] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of this patent application. Any equivalent structural or procedural changes made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
