Their main function is to provide drivers and passengers with a convenient place to place drinks, while also enhancing the overall aesthetics and practicality of the vehicle interior.

[0003] Existing flip-top car cup holders mainly include a cup holder base and a flip cover mounted on the cup holder base. A locking mechanism secures the flip cover to the cup holder base, and a spring is also included to automatically open the flip cover. When the flip cover needs to be opened, unlocking the locking mechanism allows it to open automatically under the action of the spring. However, the aforementioned flip-top car cup holders often pose safety hazards due to the rapid opening speed. To address these issues, the inventor provides a flip-top car cup holder. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the safety and convenience of using flip-top car cup holders, this application provides a flip-top car cup holder.

[0005] The flip-top car cup holder provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A flip-top car cup holder includes a cup holder base and a mounting flip cover rotatably mounted on the cup holder base. The cup holder base has a receiving cavity. The mounting flip cover includes a connecting frame and a cover body mounted on the top surface of the connecting frame. The connecting frame includes a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm. The cup holder base is provided with two rotating seats for rotatably connecting with the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm and arranged coaxially. The cup holder base is provided with an opening torsion spring at the rotating seats for driving the cover body to always have a tendency to be removed from the top surface of the cup holder base. A locking component is provided on one side of the cup holder base. When the cover body is closed on the top surface of the cup holder base, the connecting frame and the locking component are locked together. A soft-opening component is provided on the other side of the cup holder base, which cooperates with the connecting frame and is used to control the flip-top of the mounting flip cover.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, in the use of the flip-top car cup holder, the cavity in the cup holder base is designed for placing items such as water cups. The flip-top is installed via a rotatable connection between the first and second connecting arms and the mounting seats on the cup holder base, enabling the flip-top to open and close on the top of the cup holder base. The coaxial arrangement of the two mounting seats on the cup holder base helps improve the uniformity of force during the flip-top's rotation, ensuring its stability and smoothness. The locking engagement between the locking part on the first connecting arm and the locking groove on the cup holder base effectively reduces the probability of the flip-top opening accidentally while the car is in motion, thus improving the safety of the flip-top car cup holder. The torsion spring design helps ensure that the cover body always has a probability of being removed from the top of the cup holder base, allowing the flip-top to automatically flip when the locking part of the first connecting arm unlocks from the locking groove. Furthermore, the soft-opening component effectively controls the flip-top's rotation speed, reducing the probability of the flip-top popping up rapidly at the beginning. The combination of these structures effectively improves the safety and convenience of using flip-top car cup holders.

[0008] Optionally, the first connecting arm has a mounting groove for arranging one end of the lid-opening torsion spring, and the first connecting arm has a locking part on the side away from the lid body. The locking assembly includes a locking seat installed on the cup holder base and a locking socket opened on the locking seat and cooperating with the locking part. The locking socket is located on the rotation trajectory of the locking part.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the specific structure of the locking component is disclosed. Through the cooperation between the locking part on the first connecting arm and the locking socket on the locking seat, when it is necessary to close the installation flip cover on the top surface of the cup holder base, the locking part of the first connecting arm can be inserted into the locking socket by flipping the installation flip cover, thereby realizing a firm lock between the installation flip cover and the cup holder base and improving the safety of using the flip-type car cup holder.

[0010] Optionally, the outer edge of the second connecting arm is circumferentially spaced with transmission spur teeth, and the soft-opening assembly includes a mounting base disposed on the cup holder base, a gear base mounted on the mounting base, and a damping gear mounted on the gear base facing away from the mounting base and meshing with the transmission spur teeth. The damping direction of the damping gear is opposite to the rotation direction of the mounting flip cover opening.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the transmission spur gear and the damping gear arranged circumferentially on the outer edge of the second connecting arm can ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the installation flip cover rotation, reduce the situation of the installation flip cover shaking or not rotating in place, improve the accuracy and reliability of the flip cover operation, and the cooperation between the transmission spur gear and the damping gear can also make the installation flip cover have a certain damping feeling during the flip cover opening process, reducing the probability of impact on the items in the accommodating cavity or injury to the user caused by the rapid opening of the installation flip cover.

[0012] Optionally, the gear base has two snap-fit ​​seats extending toward the side opposite to the damping gear, the two snap-fit ​​seats are symmetrically arranged, and the mounting base has snap-fit ​​grooves for arranging the snap-fit ​​seats.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the gear base can be quickly installed and removed from the mounting base through the setting of the snap-fit ​​seat on the gear base and the snap-fit ​​groove on the mounting base. The two symmetrically arranged snap-fit ​​seats help to improve the stability of the gear base installation, reduce the probability of the gear base shifting or shaking during use, and ensure that the damping gear installed on the gear base can stably cooperate with the transmission spur gear.

[0014] Optionally, the cup holder base includes a cup holder body and an arc-shaped guide plate connected to one side of the top of the cup holder body. There is an arrangement gap between the arc-shaped guide plate and the cup holder body for arranging the cover body. The curvature of the arc-shaped guide plate is centered on the rotation axis of the connecting frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the curvature of the arc guide plate, with the rotation axis of the connecting frame as the axis, helps to guide the flipping process of installing the lid. Furthermore, the arc guide plate and the cup holder body have an arrangement gap for placing the lid body, which helps to protect the lid body and reduce the probability of the lid body being impacted during the flipping process.

[0016] Optionally, the connecting frame has guide protrusions spaced apart along the length of the connecting frame on the side near the arc-shaped guide plate, and the arc-shaped guide plate has a guide groove on the side facing the cup holder body for cooperating with the guide protrusions, the guide groove penetrating the upper and lower sides of the arc-shaped guide plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the guide protrusion on the connecting frame and the guide groove on the arc-shaped guide plate helps to guide the flipping process of the installed flip cover, so that the installed flip cover can be flipped along the direction of the guide groove, reducing the probability of the installed flip cover shaking or deviating during the flipping process, and making the flipping process of the installed flip cover more stable and smooth.

[0018] Optionally, the cover plate body has a clearance slope on the side facing the arc-shaped guide plate, and the clearance slope extends upward in a direction away from the arc-shaped guide plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the inclined surface on the cover body helps to reduce the probability of interference between the installed flip cover and the arc-shaped guide plate during the flipping process, making the flipping process of the installed flip cover smoother. At the same time, it further optimizes the movement trajectory of the cover body and improves the opening and closing stability of the flip-type car cup holder.

[0020] Optionally, the cup holder base is provided with an elastic limiting component at the receiving cavity. The elastic limiting component includes a limiting seat installed on the outer wall of the cup holder base, an elastic block connected to the limiting seat on the side facing the cup holder base, and a limiting torsion spring installed on the limiting seat and driving the limiting seat to always have a pressing tendency towards the cup holder base. The cup holder base has a limiting groove that communicates with the receiving cavity and is used for the elastic block to pass through.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the specific structure of the elastic limiting component is disclosed. The elastic limiting component helps to limit the movement of items such as water cups within the accommodating cavity, reducing the probability of the items shaking or shifting during travel. Through the setting of the limiting torsion spring, when a water cup is placed in the accommodating cavity, the limiting protrusion abuts against the outer wall of the water cup, thus limiting the water cup. When it is necessary to remove the water cup from the accommodating cavity, simply pull the water cup upwards, and the limiting seat will press towards the cup holder base under the drive of the limiting torsion spring, realizing the reset of the limiting component and effectively achieving quick locking of the water cup placed in the accommodating cavity.

[0022] Optionally, the outer wall of the cup holder base is provided with a positioning block, and the limiting seat is provided with a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning block.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the positioning block on the cup holder base and the positioning groove on the limiting seat helps to limit the limiting seat installed on the cup holder base, which helps to improve the installation efficiency of the limiting seat on the cup holder base, while reducing the probability of the limiting seat shifting or loosening during use, and ensuring the normal implementation of the limiting component function.

[0024] Optionally, the cup holder base has at least two of the receiving cavities arranged side by side, and the cup holder base has four sets of the elastic limiting components circumferentially spaced at one of the receiving cavities.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclusion of at least two receiving cavities in the cup holder base helps to improve the space utilization of the cup holder base. Four sets of limiting components are circumferentially spaced at one receiving cavity of the cup holder base, which can limit the cup placed inside the cavity at multiple points, effectively reducing the probability of the cup shaking or tipping over due to vehicle vibrations, thus improving the stability and safety of use.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. A flip-top car cup holder, which achieves stable rotation of the flip-top on the cup holder base through the cooperation between the flip-top and the mounting base, and achieves stable closing of the flip-top on the top surface of the cup holder base through the setting of the locking component, and finally achieves automatic and stable flipping of the flip-top through the setting of the soft-open component and the opening torsion spring, effectively improving the safety and convenience of the flip-top car cup holder.

[0028] 2. By setting the arc-shaped guide plate and the cooperation between the guide groove on the arc-shaped guide plate and the guide protrusion on the connecting frame, the flipping process of the installed flip cover is guided, so that the installed flip cover can be flipped along the direction of the guide groove, reducing the probability of the installed flip cover shaking or deviating during the flipping process, making the flipping process of the installed flip cover more stable and smooth.
