[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a foldable cup holder includes a support body 1. A cup holder 2, which can rotate and unfold or close relative to the support body 1, is connected to the lower side of the support body 1. A clamping frame 3, also capable of rotating and unfolding or closing relative to the support body 1, is connected to the upper side of the support body 1. The clamping frame 3 and the cup holder 2 are spaced apart vertically. When the cup holder 2 and the clamping frame 3 are unfolded relative to the support body 1, a clamping space 4 for holding cup-shaped objects is formed between them. The support body 1 also has a connector 5 for mounting it to an external bracket. The cup holder 2 and the clamping frame 3 can rotate and fold or unfold relative to the support body 1. During product packaging, the cup holder 2 and the clamping frame 3 are folded and close to the support body 1, reducing the overall packaging volume, saving packaging material, and lowering packaging costs. Furthermore, in product logistics and transportation, the number of products transported per unit volume is increased, further reducing the logistics and transportation costs per product. When using the device, the user simply rotates and unfolds the cup holder 2 and the clamping frame 3, then connects the foldable cup holder to an external support such as the stroller handle via the connector 5. The operation is very convenient and quick. Bottles or water cups are placed in the clamping space 4, where the cup holder 2 supports the bottom of the cup and the clamping frame 3 holds the top. In this embodiment, the connector 5 uses a clip similar to those used in traditional cup holders; the specific structure will not be described in detail here. The connector 5 can be detachably connected to the support body 1.

[0032] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, when the cup holder 2 and the clamping frame 3 are folded together onto the support body 1, the clamping frame 3 is fitted onto the outside of the cup holder 2, making the entire cup holder very small in volume when folded, thus reducing costs.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the support 1 is provided with a slot 11 for placing a mobile phone. When the user is pushing the stroller, the mobile phone can also be placed in the slot 11.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup holder 2 includes a base 21 capable of supporting the bottom of a cup-shaped object. The base 21 has an upwardly extending protrusion 22 on its periphery. One side of the protrusion 22 has a first connecting part 23 for rotatably connecting it to the support body 1. Alternatively, the connecting part 23 can also be connected to the base 21. A recessed groove 24 is formed between the protrusion 22 and the base 21, allowing the bottom of a cup-shaped object such as a water cup or baby bottle to be placed more stably within the recessed groove 24. In this embodiment, the cup holder 2 is a one-piece injection-molded structure.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the support body 1 has protruding and spaced-apart lower lugs 12. The first connecting part 23 is inserted between the two lower lugs 12 and rotatably connected to the lower lugs 12. A first locking component 6 is provided between the first connecting part 23 and the lower lugs 12 to lock the two together. The cup holder 2 is connected to the lower lugs 12, so that when the cup holder 2 is rotated and folded to come closer to the support body 1, it can be approximately parallel to the support body 1, resulting in a small volume after folding.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, the lower lug 12 is provided with a first connecting hole 13, and the first connecting part 23 is provided with a second connecting hole 26 opposite to the first connecting hole 13. The first locking assembly 6 includes a first locking rib 61 provided on the wall of the first connecting hole 13, and a second locking rib 62 provided on the wall of the second connecting hole 26. A locking post 63 that can slide inward is provided in the first connecting hole 13 and the second connecting hole 26. The locking post 63 is provided with a locking groove 64 that can simultaneously engage with the first locking rib 61 and the second locking rib 62, and can disengage from the first locking rib 61 after sliding inward. A return spring 65 that can push the locking post 63 to slide back to its original position is also provided in the second connecting hole 26. When it is necessary to fold the cup holder 2, simply press the locking post 63. When the locking groove 64 on the locking post 63 disengages from the first locking rib 61, the cup holder 2 can then be rotated to fold it. The operation is very convenient and quick.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the clamping frame 3 includes a second connecting part 31 for rotatable connection with the support body 1. The second connecting part 31 has clamping arms 32 integrally injection-molded and elastic on both sides, with an opening 33 formed between the ends of the two clamping arms 32. When a cup-shaped object such as a water cup or baby bottle is placed in the clamping space, the clamping arms 32 clamp the upper part of the cup-shaped object. The opening 33 provides good elasticity to the clamping arms 32, enhancing their clamping force.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the support body 1 has protruding and spaced-apart upper lugs 14. The second connecting part 31 is inserted between the two upper lugs 14 and rotatably connected to the upper lugs 14. A second locking component 7 for locking the two is provided between the second connecting part 31 and the upper lugs 14. The clamping frame 3 is connected to the upper lugs 14 through the second connecting part 31, so that when the clamping frame 3 is folded and close to the support body 1, it is approximately parallel to the support body 1, making the cup holder compact in the folded state.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the clamping frame 3 has an inwardly extending protrusion 34 on its inner side, allowing users to hold cup-shaped objects of varying thicknesses stably. When clamping a thicker cup-shaped object, the clamping arm 32 deforms more significantly; when clamping a thinner cup-shaped object, the clamping arm 32 deforms less and rests against the cup-shaped object through the protrusion 34, making the cup holder more adaptable. The cup holder 2 has a clearance groove 25 that makes way for the protrusion 34 when it is close to the support body 1 along with the clamping frame 3, resulting in a compact size when the cup holder is folded.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the support body 1 has cup holders 2 and clamping frames 3 on both opposite sides, and the connecting piece 5 is provided on the other side of the support body 1. When the user is traveling, two cup-shaped objects can be placed on the left and right sides of the support body 1, which can hold a water cup and a baby bottle at the same time.

[0042] Example 3:

[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that the support body 1 has cup holders 2 and clamping frames 3 on both opposite sides, and the connecting member 5 is provided on the other side of the support body 1. The connecting member 5 is also connected to a mobile phone holder 8 and a hook 9 for hanging items. The cup holder of Embodiment 3 can hold two cup-shaped objects, and a mobile phone can be placed in the mobile phone holder 8. The hook 9 can also hang some small items, making it convenient for users to take care of children when traveling.

[0044] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
