[0040] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1-6, the present invention provides a concealed car cup holder, including a cylindrical cup holder 1, a cup holder cover 2 disposed at the opening of the cup holder 1, and a rotating spring mechanism 3.

[0042] The cup holder lid 2 consists of multiple rotatable fan-shaped blades 21. Normally, the blades 21 are joined together to close and cover the opening of the cup holder 1. When a cup is placed in the cup, the blades 21 are subjected to force and flip downwards, thus opening the opening of the cup holder 1. A rotary spring mechanism 3 is located between the cup holder 1 and the cup holder lid 2. It provides elastic support during cup placement, allowing the blades 21 to elastically abut against the outer wall of the cup to secure it. After the cup is removed, the mechanism automatically drives the blades 21 to return to their closed state.

[0043] The above structure enables the automatic opening and closing of the cup holder lid 2. When a cup is placed in the cup, the blade 21 is forced to flip downwards to open the cup holder 1. After the cup is removed, the rotating spring mechanism 3 drives the blade 21 to flip upwards to automatically reset and close tightly, restoring the closed state. This design eliminates the need for manual operation of the cup holder lid 2, significantly improving ease of use and driving safety.

[0044] In the aforementioned concealed car cup holder structure, the cup holder cover 2 and the cup holder 1 are rotatably connected by a hinge structure. The hinge structure includes a support 22 and a rotating shaft 11, and the rotational spring mechanism 3 includes a torsion spring 31. The support 22 is fixed to the bottom of the blade 21. The top of the cup holder 1 has a first receiving groove 101, which is open on one side near the center of the cup holder 1. The support 22 is located inside the first receiving groove 101. A rotating shaft 11 is fixed to each side of the groove wall of the first receiving groove 101, and a torsion spring 31 is installed at each rotating shaft 11. One end of the torsion spring 31 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 11 and is inserted and fixed to the groove wall of the first receiving groove 101; the other end is inserted and fixed to the support 22.

[0045] In this structure, the torsion spring 31 serves as the core component of the rotary rebound mechanism 3. Its two ends are respectively inserted and fixed to the rotating shaft 11 and the support 22, forming a reliable elastic reset system. This not only improves the stability and flexibility of the opening and closing action of the blade 21, but also ensures that it can quickly and automatically reset to the closed state after being opened by force, thereby significantly enhancing the reliability and durability of the overall structure and extending the service life of the product.

[0046] Furthermore, a rotating cylinder 32 is fixed to one end of the torsion spring 31 near the rotating shaft 11, and an insert rod 33 is fixed to the rotating cylinder 32, parallel to the rotating shaft 11. An insertion hole 102 is provided on the wall of the first receiving groove 101. The rotating cylinder 32 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11 and rotatably connected. The insert rod 33 is inserted into the insertion hole 102. During assembly, the rotating cylinder 32 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11 and rotatably connected, while the insert rod 33 is inserted into the insertion hole 102, forming a limiting and fixing position. This structure optimizes the connection between the torsion spring 31 and the rotating shaft 11, improves the positioning accuracy and fixing reliability of the torsion spring 31, effectively enhances the overall stability and action response accuracy of the rotary rebound mechanism 3, thereby improving the smooth operation and structural durability of the cup holder lid 2 during opening and closing.

[0047] Furthermore, the support 22 has a receiving hole 201 on its side, in which the end of the torsion spring 31 away from the rotating shaft 11 is fitted into the receiving hole 201, and a fixing block 34 is provided on this end. The fixing block 34 is prismatic and parallel to the rotating shaft 11. A mating hole 202 is provided in the receiving hole 201, and the fixing block 34 is inserted into the mating hole 202. Through this structure, the end of the torsion spring 31 is effectively positioned and firmly fixed, effectively preventing the torsion spring 31 from loosening or falling off during use. This not only enhances the overall stability of the rotary rebound mechanism 3, but also ensures the accuracy and consistency of the cup holder cover 2 during opening and closing, improving the reliability and service life of the entire device.

[0048] In the above structure, both the insert rod 33 and the fixing block 34 are set to be parallel to the rotating shaft 11. This helps to maintain the uniformity of force on the torsion spring 31 during operation, avoid stress concentration or jamming caused by skewness, thereby improving the working stability and service life of the rotary rebound mechanism 3, and further enhancing the smoothness and reliability of the opening and closing action of the cup holder cover 2.

[0049] In addition, the inner diameter of the receiving hole 201 is larger than the outer diameter of the torsion spring 31, providing sufficient room for the torsion spring 31 to avoid wear or deformation caused by compression, thereby improving its elastic performance and durability, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the rotary rebound mechanism 3.

[0050] In the aforementioned concealed car cup holder structure, a second receiving groove 103 is provided on the top periphery of the first receiving groove 101. When the blade 21 is closed, the end furthest from the center of the cup holder 1 is housed in the second receiving groove 103. This structural design allows the blade 21 to be completely embedded in the second receiving groove 103 when closed, effectively preventing damage to the blade 21 from external impacts and improving the structure's durability. It also enhances the overall smoothness and cleanliness of the appearance, further strengthening the integrated design effect and visual appeal of the car's interior.

[0051] Furthermore, the groove depth of the second receiving groove 103 is equal to the thickness of the blade 21, ensuring that the top surface of the blade 21 is flush with the top of the cup holder 1 when it is closed, which further improves the flatness and visual harmony of the overall appearance and enhances the refinement and sophistication of the interior decoration.

[0052] In addition, when the blades 21 are closed, the adjacent blades 21 are tightly fitted together, that is, the side ends of two adjacent blades 21 are in surface contact. This not only improves the overall neatness and aesthetics, but also effectively enhances the sealing performance, significantly reduces the possibility of dust and debris entering the cup holder 1, and ensures the long-term stability and cleanliness of the cup holder 1.

[0053] The method of using the concealed car cup holder of this utility model is as follows:

[0054] When no cup is placed in the cup holder, multiple fan-shaped blades 21 interlock and close, covering the opening of the cup holder 1 and maintaining a neat overall appearance. When a cup is placed in the cup holder, the blades 21 are simultaneously flipped downwards under downward pressure, thereby opening the opening of the cup holder 1 and allowing the cup to be placed smoothly. After the cup is stably placed, the torsion spring 31 in the rotary spring mechanism 3 provides elastic force, causing the blades 21 to adhere tightly to the outer wall of the cup, achieving flexible clamping and fixation of the cup. After the cup is removed, the torsion spring 31 drives the blades 21 to automatically flip upwards and return to their initial closed state.

[0055] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
