Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and in particular to seat parts. Background Technology

[0002] On the market, the armrest cup holder structure used in vehicles is usually a single-sided clamp, which can only hold small cups with a limited radial diameter, limiting its use in the car and causing inconvenience.

[0003] In the prior art, such as Chinese Utility Model Publication No. CN213109119U, a cup holder structure for a car armrest is disclosed, comprising a fixed housing located at the car armrest; a cup holder drawer inserted into the fixed housing, the cup holder drawer extending outward from the fixed housing and partially located on the outside of the fixed housing, the cup holder drawer having a slot for placing cups; a cup holder clamping mechanism rotatably connected to the cup holder drawer, the cup holder clamping mechanism having a clamping part corresponding to the slot; and a torsion spring located at the rotatable connection of the cup holder clamping mechanism, the torsion spring applying elastic force to the cup holder clamping mechanism so that the cup holder clamping mechanism, along with the clamping part, rotates towards the slot, thereby causing the clamping part and the slot to clamp the cup together. This structure can clamp two cups, with the claws and the slot cooperating to clamp the cups, but due to the limited space of the slot, in order to ensure the clamping quality of the claws, this structure can only clamp cups with a limited radial radius.

[0004] In addition, Chinese invention application CN119527151A discloses an armrest cup holder, including a support frame, a drawer, a clamping mechanism, and a telescopic mechanism. The drawer is slidably connected to the support frame, the telescopic mechanism is mounted on the support frame to drive the drawer to slide, and the clamping mechanism is mounted on the drawer. The clamping mechanism includes a first claw, a second claw, two toothed parts, a mounting part, and a torsion spring. The drawer has an opening, the mounting part is placed in the opening, and the mounting part has a mounting groove. The first claw and the second claw are rotatably connected to the drawer. The two toothed parts are fixedly connected to the first claw and the second claw, respectively, and the two toothed parts mesh. This solves the technical problem of existing armrest cup holders having a simple structure and fixed diameter, which cannot adapt to cups of different sizes, causing cups to easily shake or even fall during driving, posing a safety hazard. This structure clamps the cup through the cooperation of two claws, but the space in the drawer for supporting the cup is fixed, so there is still a significant limitation on the radial direction of the clamped item.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is: how to improve the utilization rate of clamping space. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: an expandable armrest cup holder, including a fixed shell 1, an unfolding frame 2, and a drawer 3.

[0029] Drawer 3 slides within the fixed housing 1, and can extend outward from the fixed housing 1, partially located on the outside of the fixed housing 1. The unfolding frame 2 is rotatably connected to drawer 3; this is prior art, see CN213109119U for details. The unfolding frame 2 has a tray 21 located below drawer 3 for supporting items. The unfolding frame 2 is rotatably connected to drawer 3 via a connecting shaft 22. The connecting shaft 22 passes through one end of the unfolding frame 2 near the fixed housing 1 and rotates at its limit on drawer 3. An unfolding torsion spring 23 is provided at the rotatable connection between drawer 3 and unfolding frame 2. Specifically, the unfolding torsion spring 23 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 22, which defines the position of the unfolding torsion spring 23. One end of the unfolding torsion spring 23 is connected to drawer 3, and the other end is connected to unfolding frame 2. When drawer 3 extends outward from the fixed housing 1 and unfolding frame 2 is completely detached from the fixed housing 1, the torsion spring applies a spring force to unfolding frame 2, allowing it to unfold downward.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drawer 3 is provided with an active space 31 and two sets of clamping components 32. The two sets of clamping components 32 are respectively arranged on the A side and A' side of the active space 31. The clamping components 32 include two movable jaws 321. The two movable jaws 321 in the same group are arranged on the same side of the drawer 3. One end of the movable jaw 321 is rotatably connected to the drawer 3 through a rotating shaft and a rotating torsion spring. The rotating torsion spring applies a spring force to the movable jaw 321 so that the movable jaw 321 maintains a preload force toward the other movable jaw 321 in the same group. A rotating groove 33 is provided at the connection position between the movable gripper 321 and the drawer 3. The opening of the rotating groove 33 faces the movable space 31. The rotating shaft is limited to rotating within the rotating groove 33. One end of the movable gripper 321 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. A rotating torsion spring is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft. One end of the rotating torsion spring is connected to the rotating groove 33, and the other end is connected to the movable gripper 321. When the movable gripper 321 rotates to its limit position, it abuts against the rotating groove 33. The rotating groove 33 limits the rotation range of the movable gripper 321.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-4The movable gripper 321 rotates within the movable space 31, forming a clamping space between two movable grippers 321 in the same group. The clamping space formed by two movable grippers 321 in the same group is positioned opposite to the clamping space formed by two movable grippers 321 in another group. The cup is placed in the clamping space, the movable gripper 321 clamps the cup, and the tray 21 supports the cup. To increase the rotation range of the movable gripper 321 away from the fixed housing 1, one end of the movable space 31 away from the fixed housing 1 is connected to the external space. One of the movable grippers 321 is located at the connection point between the movable space 31 and the external space. This not only improves the space utilization rate inside the drawer 3, but also utilizes the space outside the drawer 3. When clamping items, because the movable gripper 321 can rotate to the external space, the usable space can be expanded to the external space. In use, if the item has a small radial diameter, one set of clamping components 32 is sufficient to clamp the item, and the movable jaws 321 can open to a small angle. If the item has a large radial diameter, two sets of clamping components 32 are used to clamp the item, and each movable jaw 321 opens to a larger angle. The clamping space formed by the two sets of movable jaws 321 is connected, and the item is placed between the four movable jaws 321. Furthermore, external space can be used to allow the movable jaws 321 to rotate and place the item.

[0032] To accommodate the shape of the outer wall of the cup, drawer 3 is provided with an arc-shaped wall 34. The arc-shaped wall 34 is positioned between two movable claws 321 in the same group. The arc-shaped wall 34 can accommodate most cups with arc-shaped outer walls to improve the clamping effect.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Unlike Example 1, please refer to... Figure 5 The clamping assembly 32 includes a fixed part 322 and a movable gripper 321. One end of the movable gripper 321 is rotatably connected to the drawer 3. The movable gripper 321 is located at the connection between the active space 31 and the external space. The fixed part 322 is fixedly connected to the drawer 3 and is fixed and cannot move. The fixed part 322 becomes part of the enclosure of the active space 31. The fixed parts 322 of the two sets of clamping assemblies 32 can be connected or not connected. The fixed part 322 is arc-shaped towards the inner wall of the movable gripper 321.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Unlike Example 1, please refer to... Figure 6 The fixed part 322 has an elastic element 323 on the inner wall facing the movable gripper 321. The elastic element 323 can be made of elastic soft rubber. The elastic element 323 can assist the movable gripper 321 in clamping the item and clamping it in combination with different cups.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
