Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive cup holder technology, specifically to an adjustable automotive cup holder structure. Background Technology
[0002] Car cup holders are key components in car interiors that combine practicality and comfort. They are functional parts used to fix and support beverage containers and are usually located on the center console, providing drivers and passengers with a more comfortable and user-friendly driving experience.
[0003] The existing patent publication number CN212148566U discloses an adjustable cup holder device for automotive interiors, including a cylindrical body. Through grooves are formed at both the front and rear ends of the cylindrical body. At least two alternately arranged movable grooves are formed at the left and right ends of the through grooves and are machined on the cylindrical body. A placement groove is provided at the lower end of the movable groove away from the through groove and is machined on the cylindrical body. A tray is slidably connected inside the cylindrical body. Support plates are fixedly connected at both the front and rear ends of the tray. The front support plate is located at the front end of the cylindrical body and passes through the placement groove on the left side of the through groove and is fixedly connected to the tray. The rear support plate is located at the rear end of the cylindrical body and passes through the placement groove on the right side of the through groove and is fixedly connected to the tray. This design allows for adjustment of the tray's vertical height within the cylindrical body, making it easy to remove cups placed inside the cylindrical body and preventing cups from tipping over, thus increasing its applicability.
[0004] The above solution has the following problems during implementation: the device adjusts the depth of the cup holder by using a longitudinally movable tray to accommodate cups of different heights. However, most cup holders are now embedded in the center console, while most of the structure of this device is located on the outer wall of the cup holder, which is quite protruding and may affect the actual installation and use of the cup holder. Furthermore, the device is not easy to lock the tray, so the tray may wobble and become unstable during vehicle travel due to bumps or other factors. Therefore, we provide an adjustable car cup holder structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable car cup holder structure, which solves the problems of most of the existing devices having the structure set on the outer wall of the cup holder, which is too protruding and not very practical for installation and use, and the tray is not stable enough.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable car cup holder structure, including a cup holder body, a tray plate is provided inside the cup holder body, and mounting grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the cup holder body. Lifting components for adjusting the height of the tray plate are provided on both sides of the cup holder body through the mounting grooves. Disassembly and assembly components for installing and fixing with the lifting components are provided on both sides of the tray plate. Clamping components for clamping the cup are provided at equal intervals on the upper side of the inner wall of the cup holder body.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the lifting assembly includes a screw and a limiting rod. The screw is rotatably installed in a set of mounting slots, and a threaded sleeve is threaded onto the surface of the screw. A handle is installed at the top of the screw via a rotating shaft.
[0008] The above technical solution allows for the raising and lowering of the tray, adjusting its position within the cup holder body and thus the depth of the cup holder. Operation is simple and convenient, and the threads have a self-locking function. This ensures that after adjusting the tray, stopping the screw rotation prevents the threaded sleeve from moving, making the tray less prone to wobbling and more stable.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the limiting rod is fixedly installed in another set of mounting slots, and a sliding sleeve is slidably fitted on the surface of the limiting rod. The support plate is disposed between the screw sleeve and the sliding sleeve, and slots are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the support plate. The screw sleeve and the sliding sleeve are both limited and fixed in the slots by the disassembly and assembly components.
[0010] The above technical solution enables the sliding sleeve to slide along the limit rod as the pallet moves, thus limiting the movement and making the pallet move more stably in the longitudinal direction.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, each set of disassembly and assembly components includes a slide groove, each set of slide grooves is formed on the inner wall of the slot, each set of slide grooves is equipped with a spring, each set of slide grooves is slidably installed with a limiting block at the opening of each set of slide grooves, the end of the screw sleeve and the slide sleeve near the slide groove is formed with a limiting groove, and each set of limiting blocks is inserted into the limiting groove.
[0012] The above technical solution enables the installation of the tray and the limiting and fixing of the tray.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, each set of the slide grooves has a guide opening at the top of its inner wall, and each set of the limiting blocks has a lever connected to its top, with each set of levers being slidably installed in the guide opening.
[0014] The above technical solution allows the tray to be removed and taken out, making it easier to clean the internal space of the cup holder body located under the tray.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, each set of clamping components includes a second slide groove, each set of second slide grooves is formed on the upper inner wall of the cup holder body, each set of second slide grooves has a second spring installed on its inner side, and each set of second springs has a clamping block slidably installed at its opening, with the inner end of the clamping block connected to the second spring.
[0016] The above technical solution can clamp the cup, making it more stable.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, each set of clamping blocks has a rubber sleeve covering its surface.
[0018] The above technical solution increases the friction between the clamping block and the cup, making the clamping more stable.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] This invention features a lifting assembly that allows the tray to be raised and lowered, adjusting the depth of the cup holder. Operation is simple and convenient, and the threads have a self-locking function, ensuring a more stable and less wobbly installation. Furthermore, the lifting assembly is integrated within the cup holder body, without protruding from its sidewalls, thus minimizing interference with the cup holder's embedded installation on the center console, making it more practical. Additionally, the installation and removal assembly allows for easy disassembly and reassembly of the tray, facilitating cleaning of the internal space beneath the tray. Finally, the clamping assembly provides a secure grip on the cup, ensuring greater stability when placed within the cup holder. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable car cup holder structure, including a cup holder body 1, with a tray 2 inside the cup holder body 1. Mounting grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the cup holder body 1. Lifting components 3 for adjusting the tray 2 are provided on both sides of the cup holder body 1 through the mounting grooves 11. The lifting components 3 include a screw 31 and a limiting rod 34. The screw 31 is rotatably installed in a set of mounting grooves 11. A threaded sleeve 32 is threaded onto the surface of the screw 31. A handle 33 is mounted on the top of the screw 31 via a rotating shaft. This structure allows the handle 33 to be gripped and rotated, causing the screw 31 to rotate. Through the threaded rotation, the threaded sleeve 32 slides within the mounting grooves 11, thus allowing the threaded sleeve 32 to lift and lower the tray 2, adjusting its position within the cup holder body 1, thereby adjusting the depth of the cup holder body 1. The design is simple and convenient, and the threads have a self-locking function. After adjusting the tray 2, stopping the rotation of the screw 31 prevents the screw sleeve 32 from moving, thus making the tray 2 less prone to shaking and more stable. The limiting rod 34 is fixedly installed in another set of mounting slots 11, and the surface of the limiting rod 34 is slidably fitted with a sliding sleeve 35. The tray 2 is positioned between the screw sleeve 32 and the sliding sleeve 35. The bottom ends of the tray 2 are provided with slots 21 on both sides. The screw sleeve 32 and the sliding sleeve 35 are both limited and fixed in the slots 21 by the disassembly and assembly component 4. This structure allows the sliding sleeve 35 to slide along the limiting rod 34 when the tray 2 moves, thus playing a limiting role and making the tray 2 move more stably in the longitudinal direction. Moreover, the structure of the lifting component 3 is set inside the cup holder body 1 and does not protrude from the side wall of the cup holder body 1, so it is less likely to affect the cup holder body 1's embedded installation in the center console, making it more practical.
[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the tray 2 has disassembly and assembly components 4 on both sides for mounting and fixing with the lifting assembly 3. Each disassembly and assembly component 4 includes a slide groove 41, which is formed on the inner wall of the slot 21. A spring 42 is installed on the inner side of each slide groove 41. A limit block 43 is slidably installed at the opening of each slide groove 41. A limit groove 44 is formed at the end of the screw sleeve 32 and the slide sleeve 35 near the slide groove 41. Each limit block 43 is inserted into the limit groove 44. This structure allows the tray 2 to be placed into the cup holder body 1, so that the tray 2 drives the two slots 21 to align with the screw sleeve 32 and the slide sleeve 35. Then, the tray 2 is pressed down and pushed, so that the screw sleeve 32 and the slide sleeve 35 are inserted into the slot 21 and squeeze and push the limit block 43, pushing the limit block 43 into the slide groove 41 and compressing the spring 42 until the limit block 43 is in contact with the limit groove 41. With the grooves 44 facing each other, the limiting block 43 can be pushed into the limiting groove 44 by the spring force of the spring 42, thus completing the installation of the tray 2 and limiting and fixing the tray 2. The top of the inner wall of each set of sliding grooves 41 is provided with a guide opening 45, and the top of each set of limiting blocks 43 is connected to a lever 46. Each set of levers 46 is slidably installed in the guide opening 45. This structure allows the two sets of levers 46 to be moved at the same time, causing the levers 46 to slide in the guide opening 45, so that the levers 46 drive the limiting block 43 to be pulled out from the limiting groove 44 and moved into the sliding groove 41 to compress the spring 42. This allows the tray 2 to be lifted upwards. The tray 2 causes the two sets of locking grooves 21 to separate from the screw sleeve 32 and the sliding sleeve 35, so that the tray 2 can be disassembled and removed, which facilitates the cleaning of the internal space of the cup holder body 1 located on the lower side of the tray 2.
[0030] It should be noted that the top of the lever 46 is at the same level as the top of the tray 2, so that the installation of the lever 46 does not protrude and is less likely to affect the stability of the cup placed on the top of the tray 2.
[0031] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, clamping components 5 for holding the cup are equidistantly arranged on the upper side of the inner wall of the cup holder body 1. Each set of clamping components 5 includes a second sliding groove 51, which is formed on the upper side of the inner wall of the cup holder body 1. A second spring 52 is installed on the inner side of each set of sliding grooves 51. A clamping block 53 is slidably installed at the opening of each set of springs 52, and the inner end of the clamping block 53 is connected to the second spring 52. This structure ensures that when the cup is placed in the cup holder body 1, the bottom of the cup will... The end will abut against the inclined end of the clamping block 53 and push and squeeze the clamping block 53, pushing the clamping block 53 into the second slide groove 51 and compressing the second spring 52. In this way, the spring force of the second spring 52 can give the clamping block 53 a reverse thrust, thereby clamping the cup and making the cup more stable. Each set of clamping blocks 53 is covered with a rubber sleeve 54, which can increase the friction between the clamping block 53 and the cup, making the clamping more stable.
[0032] Working principle: To adjust the depth of the cup holder body 1 according to the height of the cup, simply hold the handle 33 and rotate it. The handle 33 drives the screw 31 to rotate, and through the rotation of the thread, the screw sleeve 32 slides in the mounting groove 11. In this way, the screw sleeve 32 can drive the tray 2 to rise and fall, adjusting the position of the tray 2 in the cup holder body 1, thereby adjusting the depth of the cup holder body 1. The operation is simple and convenient, and the thread has a self-locking function. After adjusting the tray 2, stop rotating the screw 31, and the screw sleeve 32 will not easily move, making the tray 2 less likely to wobble and more stable. At the same time, the tray 2 will also drive the sliding sleeve 35 to slide along the limit rod 34, which can play a limiting role, making the longitudinal movement of the tray 2 more stable. Moreover, the structure of the lifting component 3 is set inside the cup holder body 1 and does not protrude from the side wall of the cup holder body 1, so it will not easily affect the cup holder body 1's embedded installation in the center console, making it more practical.
[0033] To clean the internal space of the cup holder body 1 located under the tray 2, simply move both sets of levers 46 simultaneously, causing them to slide within the guide opening 45. This allows the levers 46 to pull the limiting block 43 out of the limiting groove 44 and into the slide groove 41, compressing the spring 42. This allows the tray 2 to be lifted upwards, separating the tray 2 from the two sets of retaining grooves 21, the screw sleeve 32, and the slide sleeve 35. This allows the tray 2 to be removed and taken out, facilitating cleaning of the internal space of the cup holder body 1 located under the tray 2. To install the tray 2... To proceed, simply place the tray 2 into the cup holder body 1, causing the tray 2 to align the two sets of slots 21 with the screw sleeve 32 and the sliding sleeve 35. Then, continue to press down and push the tray 2, so that the screw sleeve 32 and the sliding sleeve 35 are inserted into the slots 21 and simultaneously squeeze and push the limiting block 43, pushing the limiting block 43 into the sliding groove 41 to compress the spring 42 until the limiting block 43 is aligned with the limiting groove 44. The limiting block 43 can then be pushed into the limiting groove 44 by the spring force of the spring 42, thus completing the installation of the tray 2 and fixing the tray 2.
[0034] When the cup is placed inside the cup holder body 1, the bottom of the cup will abut against the inclined end of the clamping block 53 and push and squeeze the clamping block 53, pushing the clamping block 53 into the slide groove 51 and compressing the spring 52. In this way, the spring force of the spring 52 can give the clamping block 53 a reverse pushing force, thereby clamping the cup and making the cup more stable.
[0035] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
