Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior parts, and in particular to a novel unlocking structure for a car lift cup holder. Background Technology
[0002] Automobiles are widely used as a means of transportation. With technological advancements, users demand more than just transportation; they require a range of additional functions to enhance user comfort. Cup holders, in particular, are widely used as an example of this, designed to hold teacups or water cups, ensuring their stability and preventing tipping during driving. Most existing cup holders feature a lifting mechanism. This mechanism primarily consists of a linkage, a latch, and a return spring. Unlocking is achieved by the lower end of the linkage pushing the latch. However, due to manufacturing errors and wear after prolonged use, the lifting mechanism using this technology is prone to misalignment between the linkage and the latch, leading to unlocking failure. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel unlocking structure for a car lift cup holder, which solves the problem of unlocking failure of the lift cup holder. At the same time, the structure is not complicated, ensuring the normal operation of the lift cup holder unlocking.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a novel unlocking structure for a car lift cup holder, including a cup holder body structure and a cup holder unlocking structure disposed between the cup holder body structures. The cup holder body structure includes a set of upper cup holder shells and a cup holder lower shell assembly connected to each upper cup holder shell. The cup holder unlocking structure includes an unlocking plate structure connected to each lower cup holder shell assembly, a set of one-way dampers disposed between the lower cup holder shell assembly and the unlocking plate structure, an unlocking control rod structure connected between the lower cup holder shell assemblies, and an unlocking torsion spring assembly connected between the unlocking control structure and the lower cup holder shell. The unlocking control structure includes a set of unlocking buttons and an unlocking control rod structure corresponding to each unlocking button.
[0005] The unlocking control lever structure includes a main control lever, a button connection end located on the upper part of the main control lever, and a contour docking structure located on the lower part of the main control lever that connects to the unlocking plate structure.
[0006] The unlocking torsion spring assembly includes a first free end connected to the lower housing of the cup holder; a second free end connected to the lower part of the unlocking plate; an unlocking plate torsion spring assembly whose helical section is inserted into the lower end of the unlocking plate structure; an unlocking button spring assembly connected to the connection end between the main control lever and the button; and an unlocking rod spring.
[0007] The cup holder lower shell assembly includes a left outer cup holder lower shell half, a left inner cup holder lower shell half, a right outer cup holder lower shell half, and a right inner cup holder lower shell half.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the unlocking plate of the car cup holder provides rotational torque, which prevents unlocking rotation failure that occurs when there is no torsion spring. Without a torsion spring, relying solely on the interference fit of the shaft hole tolerance can easily lead to unlocking plate wobbling and unlocking failure. Adjusting the force value only requires adjusting the torsion spring, eliminating the need for mold design and reducing mold costs.
[0009] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "both ends," "one end," and "the other end" used in the application text to indicate the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used solely for the convenience of describing the present invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0018] Example 1, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a novel unlocking structure for a car lift cup holder includes a cup holder body structure and a cup holder unlocking structure disposed between the cup holder body structures. The cup holder body structure includes a cup holder upper shell 1, a cup holder upper shell 2, and a cup holder lower shell assembly corresponding to the cup holder upper shell 1 and the cup holder upper shell 2. The cup holder lower shell assembly includes a left outer cup holder lower shell half 3, a left inner cup holder lower shell half 4, a right outer cup holder lower shell half 5, and a right inner cup holder lower shell half 6.
[0019] The cup holder unlocking structure includes an unlocking plate 7 connected between the left inner cup holder lower shell half 4 and the right inner cup holder lower shell half 6, a set of one-way dampers 8 disposed between the cup holder lower shell assembly and the unlocking plate 7, an unlocking control rod structure connected between the cup holder lower shell assemblies, and an unlocking torsion spring assembly connected between the unlocking control structure and the cup holder lower shell. The unlocking control structure includes an unlocking torsion spring assembly connected between a set of unlocking buttons 10 and the unlocking control rod structure corresponding to each unlocking button.
[0020] The unlocking control lever structure includes a main control lever 11, a button connection end 12 located on the upper part of the main control lever, and a contour docking structure 13 located on the lower part of the main control lever and connected to the unlocking plate structure.
[0021] The unlocking torsion spring assembly includes a first free end connected to the lower housing of the cup holder; a second free end connected to the lower part of the unlocking plate 7; an unlocking plate torsion spring assembly 14 whose helical section is inserted into the lower end of the unlocking plate structure; an unlocking button spring assembly 15 connected to the connection end between the main control lever and the button; and an unlocking lever spring 9.
[0022] Each unlocking plate torsion spring assembly 14 has its first free end hanging on the left inner cup holder lower shell half 4 and the right inner cup holder lower shell half 6, and its second free end pressing against the unlocking plate 7. The spiral section is inserted into the lower end of the unlocking plate 7 to provide rotational torque, so that when the main control rod 11 pushes the unlocking plate 7 to unlock, it does not only rely on the interference of the shaft holes of the unlocking plate 7 and the left inner cup holder lower shell half 4 and the right inner cup holder lower shell half 6 to generate force for unlocking, thus providing double protection and improving the reliability of unlocking.
[0023] The unlocking plate of this car's adjustable cup holder provides rotational torque to prevent unlocking failure that occurs when there is no torsion spring. Without a torsion spring, relying solely on the interference fit of the shaft hole tolerance can easily lead to plate wobbling and unlocking failure. Adjusting the force only requires adjusting the torsion spring, eliminating the need for mold design and reducing mold costs.
[0024] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
[0025] The parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies.
