Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior technology, specifically to a cup holder assembly, a center console, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive interior design is trending towards simplicity and stylistic uniformity. As a core functional component of the center console, the design of the cupholder directly impacts the overall feel of the cabin. Currently, cupholders are mainly divided into two types: open and closable. Open cupholders have the cupholder itself exposed, which is less aesthetically pleasing and prone to accumulating dirt. Closable cupholders typically have a cover; when the cover is open, the cupholder is exposed and usable; when the cover is closed, it covers the cupholder, sealing it in place.

[0003] Traditional closable cup holders typically use a flip-up or pull-out lid. The lid opens and closes by flipping or pulling it out. However, this design leaves the lid exposed when open, requiring more space and resulting in a less aesthetically pleasing appearance. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this utility model is to provide a cup holder assembly to solve the problem that in the existing closable cup holders, the cup holder cover occupies a large space and has poor aesthetics when opened; the second objective is to provide a center console; and the third objective is to provide a vehicle.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A cup holder assembly, applied to a vehicle body, includes: a first cover having a first opening; a base including a first support portion and a second support portion sequentially connected along a first direction; the first support portion being connected to the bottom of the first cover; the second support portion being spaced apart from the bottom of the first cover and forming a receiving space; a cup holder mounted on the first support portion and adapted to be exposed through the first opening; a second cover slidably connected between the first cover and the base along the first direction; the second cover having a closed position covering the cup holder and an open position allowing the cup holder to be exposed; in the closed position, at least a portion of the structure of the second cover is located at the first opening; in the open position, at least a portion of the structure of the second cover is located in the receiving space; the first direction is the length direction of the vehicle body.

[0007] According to the above-mentioned technical means, when the cup holder is in use, the second cover can be pushed to the open position; at this time, at least a portion of the structure of the second cover enters the receiving space, and the second cover is basically hidden, without occupying additional interior space, resulting in high space utilization and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. When the cup holder is not in use, the second cover can be returned to the closed position; at this time, at least a portion of the structure of the second cover is located at the first opening and covers the cup holder, improving aesthetics and preventing dirt accumulation. The cup holder assembly of this utility model makes full use of the longitudinal space between the first cover and the base, allowing the second cover to be hidden in the receiving space when in the open position, without occupying additional interior space, thus improving space utilization and aesthetics; when in the closed position, it can be located at the first opening, maintaining visual consistency with the first cover and improving aesthetics.

[0008] Furthermore, the first support portion is provided with first guide grooves on both sides along the second direction, and the second support portion is provided with second guide grooves on both sides along the second direction; both the first guide grooves and the second guide grooves extend along the first direction; the second cover includes a front end and a rear end connected sequentially along the first direction; the front end is provided with first rollers on both sides along the second direction, and the two first rollers are slidably connected to the two first guide grooves respectively; the rear end is provided with second rollers on both sides along the second direction, and the two second rollers are slidably connected to the two second guide grooves respectively; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0009] According to the aforementioned technical means, the first support portion guides the front end of the second cover to slide along the first direction via the first guide grooves on both sides, and the second support portion guides the rear end of the second cover to slide along the first direction via the second guide grooves on both sides. The first and second guide grooves can limit the height of the second cover in the second direction, preventing the second cover from swaying up and down or left and right during sliding and improving the smoothness of sliding. Furthermore, the front end uses a first roller to slide in conjunction with the first guide groove, and the rear end uses a second roller to roll in conjunction with the second guide groove. The contact between the first roller and the first guide groove, and between the second roller and the second guide groove, is line contact, which helps to reduce wear and reduce sliding noise.

[0010] Furthermore, in the closed position, the front end is located at the first opening and is flush with the first cover in the height direction; the rear end is located below the first cover; and the height direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

[0011] Based on the above technical means, it is beneficial to improve the smoothness of the second cover during the sliding process, and to make the front end highly consistent with the appearance and shape of the first cover, thereby further improving the aesthetics.

[0012] Furthermore, it includes a buffer seat; the buffer seat is slidably connected to the rear end in the height direction and is drively connected to the second support in the first direction; the height direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

[0013] According to the above technical means, by setting a buffer seat, when the second cover slides along the first direction, it can drive the buffer seat to move along the first direction. The transmission between the buffer seat and the second support can play a damping role, reduce mechanical vibration, and improve the stability of the second cover during the sliding process.

[0014] Furthermore, the second support is provided with third guide grooves on both sides along the second direction, and the third guide grooves extend along the first direction; the buffer seat is slidably connected to the two third guide grooves on both sides along the second direction.

[0015] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the second support part guides the buffer seat to slide along the first direction through the third guide grooves on both sides. The third guide groove can limit the buffer seat in the height direction and the second direction, so as to prevent the buffer seat from swaying up and down or left and right during the sliding process and improve the smoothness of the sliding.

[0016] Furthermore, it includes an elastic element; along the height direction, the elastic element is disposed between the rear end and the buffer seat.

[0017] According to the aforementioned technical means, during the movement of the second cover from the closed position to the open position, the elastic element is gradually compressed. This compression provides a buffer for the sinking of the second cover, thereby improving the stability of the second cover during its sliding process. During the movement of the second cover from the open position to the closed position, the compressed elastic element provides a restoring force along the height direction, facilitating the second cover's return to the closed position.

[0018] Furthermore, it includes a retractor; the retractor includes a fixing part and a winding part, the fixing part being connected to a first support part or a second support part, and the winding part being connected to a buffer seat.

[0019] According to the above technical means, during the process of the second cover moving from the closed position to the open position, the winding part is stretched under the action of the buffer seat; during the process of the second cover moving from the open position to the closed position, the winding part can provide a recovery force to the buffer seat. Under the action of this recovery force and the restoring force of the elastic element, the buffer seat and the second cover can automatically return to their original positions, so that the second cover can move quickly and stably to the closed position.

[0020] Furthermore, two sets of elastic elements are provided, and the two sets of elastic elements are spaced apart and symmetrically arranged in the second direction; and / or, two sets of retractors are provided, and the two sets of retractors are spaced apart and symmetrically arranged in the second direction.

[0021] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the symmetrical arrangement of two sets of elastic elements and / or retractors is conducive to further improving the stability of the sliding process, and the opening force of the second cover can be adjusted by the elastic elements and retractors.

[0022] Furthermore, it includes a locking member; the locking member is disposed on the second support portion; a stop pin is protruding from the bottom of the buffer seat; the locking member has a locked state that engages with the stop pin and an unlocked state that releases the stop pin; when subjected to external force, the locking member is adapted to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0023] According to the above-mentioned technical means, when it is necessary to open the second cover, an external force is applied to the second cover, and the second cover slides along the first direction until the stop pin contacts and engages with the locking member. At this time, the stop pin is in a locked state; thus, the stop pin and the locking member can limit the second cover to the open position through the buffer seat. When it is necessary to close the second cover, an external force is applied to the second cover, and the locking member switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, releasing the stop pin, and the second cover can return to the closed position. By setting the locking member and the stop pin to guide the movement and locking of the second cover, the user can easily open or close the second cover by pushing it during use, making the operation simple and reliable.

[0024] Furthermore, it includes an inertial hammer; the inertial hammer is disposed on the second support; when the acceleration exceeds a threshold, the inertial hammer is adapted to abut against the second cover or buffer seat to limit the movement of the second cover.

[0025] Based on the above technical means, by setting an inertial hammer, the abnormal opening and closing of the second cover can be prevented in the event of emergency braking, thereby further improving the reliability of the application.

[0026] A central control box includes: a box body having a receiving cavity; a cup holder assembly as described above; a first cover connected to the top of the box body; and a base located within the receiving cavity.

[0027] A vehicle includes a body, the body of which is provided with a cup holder assembly as described above; or, the body of which is provided with a center console box as described above.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0029] When the cup holder is in use, the second cover can be pushed to the open position; at this time, at least a portion of the second cover is inserted into the receiving space, and the second cover is essentially hidden, without taking up additional interior space, resulting in high space utilization and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. When the cup holder is not in use, the second cover can be returned to the closed position; at this time, at least a portion of the second cover is located at the first opening and covers the cup holder, improving aesthetics and preventing dirt accumulation. This cup holder assembly fully utilizes the longitudinal space between the first cover and the base, allowing the second cover to be hidden within the receiving space when open, without taking up additional interior space, thus improving space utilization and aesthetics; when closed, it is located at the first opening, maintaining visual consistency with the first cover and enhancing aesthetics.

[0047] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this utility model and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0048] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0049] This embodiment proposes a cup holder assembly for use in a vehicle body, specifically in the center console. For example... Figures 1-5 As shown, the cup holder assembly includes a first cover 1, a second cover 2, a base 3, and a cup holder component 4.

[0050] Specifically, the first cover 1 has a first opening 11. The first cover 1 has a hollow area extending through it in the thickness direction, which forms the first opening 11.

[0051] Furthermore, the base 3 is connected below the first cover 1 to provide support for the second cover 2 and the cup holder 4. Specifically, the base 3 includes a first support portion 31 and a second support portion 32 connected sequentially along a first direction X, which can be understood as the length direction of the vehicle body, i.e., the front-to-back direction. The first support portion 31 is connected to the bottom of the first cover 1, such as by fasteners, snap-fit, welding, etc. The second support portion 32 is spaced apart from the bottom of the first cover 1, forming a receiving space 33.

[0052] Furthermore, the cup holder 4 has a cavity for placing cups or other containers, and the cup holder 4 is mounted on the first support 31. The cup holder 4 is adapted to be exposed through the first opening 11, and more specifically, the cavity of the cup holder 4 is adapted to be exposed through the first opening 11 for user convenience.

[0053] Furthermore, the second cover 2 is slidably connected between the first cover 1 and the base 3 along the first direction X. The second cover 2 has a closed position that covers the cup holder 4 and an open position that allows the cup holder 4 to be exposed. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1A schematic diagram is shown of the structure when the second cover 2 is in the closed position. In the closed position, at least a portion of the structure of the second cover 2 is located at the first opening 11 to cover the cup holder 4. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the second cover 2 in the open position is shown. In the open position, at least a portion of the structure of the second cover 2 is located in the receiving space 33 to allow the cup holder 4 to be exposed.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the cup holder 4 is used, the second cover 2 can be pushed to the open position; at this time, at least a portion of the structure of the second cover 2 enters the receiving space 33, and the second cover 2 is basically hidden, without occupying additional interior space, thus improving space utilization and aesthetics. When the cup holder is not used, the second cover 2 can be returned to the closed position; at this time, at least a portion of the structure of the second cover 2 is located at the first opening 11 and covers the cup holder 4, improving aesthetics. The cup holder assembly of this utility model makes full use of the longitudinal space between the first cover 1 and the base 3, so that the second cover 2 can be hidden in the receiving space 33 when in the open position, without occupying additional interior space, thus improving space utilization; when in the closed position, it can be located at the first opening 11, maintaining appearance consistency with the first cover 1, thus improving aesthetics.

[0055] Furthermore, the cup holder assembly also has a second direction Y and a height direction Z, wherein the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the height direction Z are all perpendicular to each other. The second direction Y can be understood as the width direction of the vehicle body, that is, the left-right direction; the height direction Z can be understood as the height direction of the vehicle body, that is, the up-down direction. The thickness direction of the aforementioned first cover 1 is typically parallel to the height direction Z of the cup holder assembly.

[0056] Exemplarily, the first cover 1 may have a plate-like structure. Exemplarily, along the first direction X, the second support portion 32 is connected to the end of the first support portion 31 that is away from the first cover 1. Along the height direction Z, the installation height of the second support portion 32 is lower than the installation height of the first support portion 31. This arrangement facilitates the formation of the aforementioned receiving space 33 between the first cover 1 and the second support portion 32, making reasonable use of the longitudinal space below the first cover 1. Exemplarily, the first support portion 31 and the second support portion 32 may be integrally formed.

[0057] Specifically, the second cover 2 may include a front end portion 21 and a rear end portion 22 connected sequentially along the first direction X. For example... Figure 1 As shown, in the closed position, the front end 21 can be located at the first opening 11 to cover the cup holder 4; the rear end 22 can be located within the receiving space 33 formed between the first cover 1 and the second support 32. Figure 2As shown, when in the open position, the front end 21 can be partially or completely moved into the receiving space 33, and the rear end 22 is located in the receiving space 33, so that the second cover 2 is in a hidden state.

[0058] In some embodiments, in the closed position, the front end portion 21 is located at the first opening 11 and is flush with the first cover 1 along the height direction Z. Thus, in the closed position, the front end portion 21 maintains a high degree of consistency with the appearance and shape of the first cover 1, further improving aesthetics. In the closed position, the rear end portion 22 is located below the first cover 1. Thus, when the second cover 2 is opened, the rear end portion 22 can guide the front end portion 21 to slide towards the receiving space 33, avoiding jamming and improving the smoothness of the second cover 2 during sliding.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front end portion 21 can be plate-shaped, and the rear end portion 22 is connected to the end of the front end portion 21 away from the first cover 1 along the first direction X. Along the height direction Z, the height of the rear end portion 22 is lower than the height of the front end portion 21. Exemplarily, the front end portion 21 and the rear end portion 22 can be integrally formed, with no seam at the connection point. When the second cover 2 is in the closed position, the connection point between the front end portion 21 and the rear end portion 22 is located at the edge of the first opening 11, ensuring consistency in appearance between the first cover 1 and the second cover 2 when closed, thereby improving aesthetics.

[0060] Furthermore, the front end portion 21 is slidably connected to the first support portion 31 along the first direction X, and the rear end portion 22 is slidably connected to the second support portion 32 along the first direction X.

[0061] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the first support portion 31 has first guide grooves 311 on both sides along the second direction Y, and the second support portion 32 has second guide grooves 321 on both sides along the second direction Y. Both the first guide grooves 311 and the second guide grooves 321 extend along the first direction X. The front end portion 21 has first rollers 23 on both sides along the second direction Y, and the two first rollers 23 are slidably connected to the two first guide grooves 311 respectively. The rear end portion 22 has second rollers 24 on both sides along the second direction Y, and the two second rollers 24 are slidably connected to the two second guide grooves 321 respectively. In this embodiment, the first support part 31 guides the front end 21 of the second cover 2 to slide along the first direction X via the first guide grooves 311 on both sides, and the second support part 32 guides the rear end 22 of the second cover 2 to slide along the first direction X via the second guide grooves 321 on both sides. The first guide grooves 311 and the second guide grooves 321 can limit the second cover 2 in the height direction Z and the second direction Y, preventing the second cover 2 from wobbling up and down or left and right during sliding, thus improving the smoothness of sliding. Furthermore, the front end 21 is slidably engaged with the first guide groove 311 by the first roller 23, and the rear end 22 is rollably engaged with the second guide groove 321 by the second roller 24. The contact between the first roller 23 and the first guide groove 311, and between the second roller 24 and the second guide groove 321, is line contact, which helps to reduce wear and reduce sliding noise.

[0062] For example, the first support portion 31 has first baffles on both sides along the second direction Y, and the first guide groove 311 can be formed on the inner side of the first baffle. The first support portion 31 has second baffles on both sides along the second direction Y, and the second guide groove 321 can be formed on the outer side of the second baffle.

[0063] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup holder assembly also includes a buffer seat 5. The buffer seat 5 is slidably connected to the rear end portion 22 in the height direction Z, and is drively connected to the second support portion 32 in the first direction X. By providing the buffer seat 5, when the second cover 2 slides in the first direction X, it can drive the buffer seat 5 to move in the first direction X. The transmission between the buffer seat 5 and the second support portion 32 can play a damping role, reduce mechanical vibration, and improve the stability of the second cover 2 during the sliding process.

[0064] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, a damper 6 is provided on the buffer seat 5. The damper 6 has a gear, and a rack extending along the first direction X is provided on the second support part 32. The gear of the damper 6 meshes with the rack, thereby realizing the transmission connection between the buffer seat 5 and the second support part 32 along the first direction X.

[0065] For example, a fourth guide groove 324 may be provided on the second support portion 32, extending along the first direction X. The aforementioned rack may be installed within the fourth guide groove 324 to further improve the smoothness of the sliding of the buffer seat 5 and the second cover 2 connected thereto along the first direction X. For example, the fourth guide groove 324 may be located in the middle of the second support portion 32, and correspondingly, the damper 6 may also be provided in the middle of the buffer seat 5.

[0066] Furthermore, a positioning pin and a through hole can be provided between the rear end 22 and the buffer seat 5 to achieve a sliding connection between the two along the height direction Z.

[0067] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first positioning pin 25 may be provided protruding downward on the rear end 22. Correspondingly, a first through hole extending along the height direction Z may be provided on the buffer seat 5, and the first positioning pin 25 passes through the first through hole. For example, two first positioning pins 25 are symmetrically arranged along the second direction Y, and two first through holes are symmetrically arranged along the second direction Y.

[0068] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, a second positioning pin 51 may be provided protruding upward on the buffer seat 5. Correspondingly, a second through hole extending along the height direction Z may be provided on the rear end 22, and the second positioning pin 51 passes through the second through hole. For example, two second positioning pins 51 are symmetrically arranged along the second direction Y, and two second through holes are symmetrically arranged along the second direction Y.

[0069] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the second support portion 32 is provided with third guide grooves 322 on both sides along the second direction Y, and the third guide grooves 322 extend along the first direction X. The buffer seat 5 is slidably connected to the two third guide grooves 322 on both sides along the second direction Y. For example, Figure 5 As shown, the buffer seat 5 can be provided with sliding connecting parts 52 on both sides along the second direction Y, and the two sliding connecting parts 52 are slidably connected to the two second guide grooves 321 respectively. For example, the sliding connecting part 52 can be a slider, roller, etc. For example, the first support part 31 is provided with the aforementioned second baffles on both sides along the second direction Y, and the third guide groove 322 can be formed inside the second baffles. In this embodiment, the second support part 32 guides the buffer seat 5 to slide along the first direction X through the third guide grooves 322 on both sides. The third guide grooves 322 can limit the buffer seat 5 in the height direction Z and the second direction Y, preventing the buffer seat 5 from wobbling up and down or left and right during sliding, thus improving the smoothness of sliding.

[0070] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the cup holder assembly further includes an elastic element 7, which is disposed between the rear end 22 and the buffer seat 5 along the height direction Z. Exemplarily, the elastic element 7 can be a spring. Exemplarily, the elastic element 7 can be sleeved on the aforementioned first positioning pin 25 or second positioning pin 51.

[0071] In this embodiment, as the second cover 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, the elastic element 7 is gradually compressed. This compression provides a buffer for the sinking of the second cover 2, thereby improving the stability of the second cover 2 during the opening process. During the movement of the second cover 2 from the open position to the closed position, the compressed elastic element 7 provides a restoring force along the height direction Z, facilitating the return of the second cover 2 to the closed position. The opening force of the second cover 2 can be adjusted by changing the number of turns and the wire diameter of the elastic element 7.

[0072] For example, two sets of elastic elements 7 may be provided, with the two sets of elastic elements 7 spaced apart and symmetrically arranged in the second direction Y, to further improve the stability of the sliding process. Preferably, the two sets of elastic elements 7 are respectively sleeved on the two second positioning pins 51.

[0073] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cup holder assembly also includes a retractor 8. The retractor 8 includes a fixing part 81 and a retracting part 82. The retracting part 82 can be extended or retracted relative to the fixing part 81, and when the retracting part 82 is extended, there is a retracting force that tends to retract. The fixing part 81 is connected to the first support part 31 or the second support part 32, such as by snap-fit, bolt connection, welding, etc. Figure 4 As shown, the fixing part 81 can be connected to the end of the second support part 32 near the first support part 31. The winding part 82 is connected to the buffer seat 5 by means of snap-fit, bolt connection, welding, etc., preferably snap-fit, so as to facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0074] In this embodiment, during the movement of the second cover 2 from the closed position to the open position, the winding part 82 is stretched under the action of the buffer seat 5. During the movement of the second cover 2 from the open position to the closed position, the winding part 82 can provide a recovery force to the buffer seat 5. Under the action of this recovery force and the restoring force of the elastic member 7, the buffer seat 5 and the second cover 2 can automatically return to their original positions, so that the second cover 2 can move quickly and stably to the closed position. The opening force of the second cover 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the recovery force of the winding device 8.

[0075] For example, the retractor 8 can be provided in two sets, with the two sets of retractors 8 spaced apart and symmetrically arranged in the second direction Y, so as to further improve the stability of the sliding process.

[0076] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cup holder assembly also includes a locking member 9. The locking member 9 is disposed on the second support portion 32, specifically at the end of the second support portion 32 furthest from the first support portion 31. A stop pin 53 protrudes from the bottom of the buffer seat 5. The locking member 9 has a locked state where it engages with the stop pin 53 and an unlocked state where it releases the stop pin 53. When subjected to external force, the locking member 9 is adapted to switch between the locked and unlocked states.

[0077] In this embodiment, when the second cover 2 needs to be opened, an external force is applied to the second cover 2, causing it to slide along the first direction X until the stop pin 53 contacts and engages with the locking member 9. At this point, the stop pin 53 is in a locked state. Thus, the stop pin 53 and the locking member 9 can limit the second cover 2 to the open position via the buffer seat 5. When the second cover 2 needs to be closed, an external force is applied to the second cover 2, causing the locking member 9 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state, releasing the stop pin 53, and the second cover 2 can return to the closed position. By setting the locking member 9 and the stop pin 53 to guide the movement and locking of the second cover 2, the user can easily open or close the second cover 2 by pushing it during use, making the operation simple and reliable.

[0078] For example, the locking member 9 can be a maze lock, with a maze lock channel formed at the top. The opening of the maze lock channel is directly opposite the stop pin 53 in the first direction X. The maze lock has a first end near the opening of the maze lock channel and a second end away from the opening. The first end is fixedly connected to the first support 31, and the second end is movably connected to the first support 31 in the second direction Y. When the second cover 2 is subjected to external force, the force can be transmitted to the stop pin 53 through the buffer seat 5. The stop pin 53 drives the second end of the maze lock to move in the second direction Y, thereby realizing the switching of the maze lock between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0079] Furthermore, the cup holder assembly also includes an inertial hammer 10. The inertial hammer 10 is disposed on the second support portion 32, specifically at the end of the second support portion 32 near the first support portion 31. When the acceleration exceeds a threshold, the inertial hammer 10 is adapted to abut against the second cover 2 or the buffer seat 5 to restrict the movement of the second cover 2. In this embodiment, by providing the inertial hammer 10, abnormal opening and closing of the second cover 2 during emergency braking can be prevented, further improving the reliability of the application. The inertial hammer 10 is a common structure in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0080] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a second opening 312 can be provided on the first support portion 31. Specifically, the second support portion 32 has a hollow area extending through the height direction Z, which forms the second opening 312. The cup holder 4 includes a connecting portion 42 and a housing portion 41 connected together. The housing portion 41 has a cavity formed therein for placing cups and other containers. The housing portion 41 can pass through the second opening 312 to the lower part of the second support portion 32. The connecting portion 42 is located above the second support portion 32 and is connected to the second support portion 32, such as by welding, bolting, snap-fitting, or overlapping. With this configuration, cup holders 4 of different sizes and shapes can be installed on the second support portion 32, making it highly adaptable. Preferably, the connecting portion 42 is welded to the second support portion 32, which can avoid the risk of the cup holder 4 shaking or making abnormal noise caused by snap-fitting and can also save the additional arrangement space required for bolted structures.

[0081] The opening and closing process of the cup holder assembly of this utility model is as follows:

[0082] When opened: A rearward force is applied to the first cover 1, that is, in the direction X towards the second support 32. The front end 21 slides along the first guide groove 311 on the first support 31, and the rear end 22 slides along the second guide groove 321 on the second support 32. Since the second support 32 is lower than the first support 31, its second guide groove 321 gradually sinks relative to the first guide groove 311. Therefore, guided by the first guide groove 311 and the second guide groove 321, the second cover 2 slides down as it moves from the closed position to the open position. During the sliding down process, the buffer seat 5 is subjected to the force transmitted by the second cover 2 and slides along the third guide groove 322. The elastic element 7 is compressed, and the retractor 8 is stretched. At the same time, the damper 6 installed on the buffer seat 5 is connected to the second support 32 until the stop pin 53 on the buffer seat 5 engages with the locking element 9. The locking element 9 limits the second cover 2 to the open position through the buffer seat 5. At this time, the front end 21 and the rear end 22 of the second cover 2 slide into the receiving space 33, so that the second cover 2 is in a hidden state.

[0083] When closed: A backward force is applied to the first cover 1, and the locking member 9 releases the stop pin 53; the second cover 2 is subjected to the restoring force of the elastic member 7 and the retracting force of the retractor 8, and will return to the closed position along the first guide groove 311 and the second guide groove 321 of the base 3.

[0084] The cup holder assembly of this utility model can ensure that the appearance and style of the second cover 2 are highly consistent with the surrounding parts when the second cover 2 is closed, thus improving aesthetics; it can also ensure that the second cover 2 does not occupy extra space when the second cover 2 is open, thus improving space utilization. Furthermore, the structure and design logic of this cup holder assembly are simple, and its reliability and durability are high.

[0085] This embodiment proposes a central control box, including a box body and the aforementioned cup holder assembly. A receiving cavity is formed within the box body, and a first cover 1 is connected to the top of the box body to close the receiving cavity. The first cover 1 and the box body can be connected by snap-fit, bolts, etc. A base 3 can be located within the receiving cavity and connected to the vehicle body or the box body, such as by snap-fit, bolts, etc. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the receiving space 33 formed between the second support portion 32 of the base 3 and the first cover 1 is substantially located within the receiving cavity of the box body. That is, when the second cover 2 is in the open position, it is hidden within the box body, without occupying additional space outside the box body, thus improving aesthetics and space utilization.

[0086] This embodiment proposes a vehicle, including a vehicle body, with a cup holder assembly as described above; or, a center console box as described above is provided within the vehicle body. Since the vehicle of this utility model includes the aforementioned cup holder assembly or center console box, it possesses the same technical effects as the cup holder assembly or center console box of this utility model, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0087] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present utility model are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
