Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and relates to a pull-out folding car cup holder and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] A pull-out cup holder is a retractable storage device installed inside a car for holding cups. Similar in design to a drawer, pull-out cup holders are typically hidden in locations such as the center console, armrest, or side of the seat.

[0003] Existing pull-out cup holders generally include an outer cover, a sliding base, and a height-adjustable cup holder. As the sliding base is pulled out of the outer cover, the cup holder remains in a downward position during the initial stage of the sliding base's movement. Once the cup holder extends beyond the opening of the outer cover, it automatically rises and unfolds as the sliding base continues to slide outward. As the sliding base is pushed back into the outer cover from its fully extended position, the cup holder automatically descends. Just as the cup holder is about to pass the opening of the outer cover, it descends to its lowest position and remains stationary in the downward position for the remainder of its movement.

[0004] To achieve the above effects, the existing cup holder structure is very complicated. The lifting and lowering movement of the cup holder is not linked to the sliding stroke of the sliding seat. The cup holder cannot choose to link or not link according to the stroke position of the sliding seat. Moreover, the cup holder is not smooth enough when in use and may jam. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a pull-out folding car cup holder and a vehicle.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a pull-out folding car cup holder, comprising:

[0007] Coat rack;

[0008] A sliding seat, which is slidably connected to the outer frame, and the sliding seat is equipped with at least one folding mechanism;

[0009] The travel positions of the sliding seat include an unfolded position, a first switching position, a second switching position, and a retracted position arranged sequentially along the retraction direction; a linkage interval is formed between the unfolded position and the first switching position, a switching interval is formed between the first switching position and the second switching position, and an empty travel interval is formed between the second switching position and the retracted position;

[0010] A cup holder, wherein the cup holder is flexibly connected to the sliding seat via the folding mechanism, and the height position of the cup holder on the sliding seat is determined by the geometry of the folding mechanism;

[0011] Linkage element, the linkage element is slidably mounted on the sliding seat, the number of the linkage element is the same as the number of the folding mechanism and is set in a one-to-one correspondence, the linkage element is linked to the folding mechanism, the linkage element drives the folding mechanism to move when it moves relative to the sliding seat, and the travel position of the linkage element on the sliding seat determines the geometric state of the folding mechanism;

[0019] When the linkage element is in the first connection state, the sliding shaft is located at the end of the first inclined groove section and the second straight section. The end of the first inclined groove section restricts the movement of the linkage element relative to the outer frame by abutting the sliding shaft, and the sliding shaft is allowed to move within the second straight section.

[0020] When the sliding seat is in the switching interval, the sliding shaft is located in the first inclined groove section and the second inclined groove section, and the sliding direction of the sliding seat determines that the sliding shaft tends to the end of the first inclined groove section or the end of the second inclined groove section;

[0021] When the linkage element is in the second connection state, the slide shaft is located at the end of the first straight segment and the second inclined segment. The end of the second inclined segment abuts against the slide shaft to restrict the movement of the linkage element relative to the sliding seat.

[0022] Preferably, both the first straight segment and the second straight segment are arranged along the sliding direction of the sliding seat, the first straight segment and the second straight segment are parallel and do not overlap, the first inclined groove segment and the second inclined groove segment are both inclined in the sliding direction of the sliding seat, the first inclined groove segment is inclined toward the second straight segment, and the end of the first inclined groove segment is on the same straight line as the second straight segment, the second inclined groove segment is inclined toward the first straight segment, and the end of the second inclined groove segment is on the same straight line as the first straight segment.

The two side walls of the sliding seat are close to the two side walls of the outer cover. The two side walls of the outer cover are provided with the first sliding groove, and the two side walls of the sliding seat are provided with the second sliding groove.

[0024] Preferably, the sliding seat is provided with two limiting members, which are respectively close to the two side walls of the sliding seat. A limiting gap is reserved between the limiting members and the side walls of the sliding seat. The linkage element is disposed in the limiting gap, and the front and back of the linkage element abut against the side walls of the sliding seat and the limiting members, respectively.

[0025] Preferably, the folding mechanism is configured as a scissor structure, the folding mechanism including a first folding arm, a second folding arm and a hinge shaft, the first folding arm and the second folding arm are hinged through the hinge shaft, one end of the first folding arm is hinged to the cup holder, the drive shaft is rotatably connected to the other end of the first folding arm, the other end of the first folding arm is slidably connected to the sliding seat through the drive shaft, one end of the second folding arm is slidably connected to the cup holder, and the other end of the second folding arm is hinged to the sliding seat.

[0026] Preferably, it also includes a spring clockwork, which is mounted on the slide seat and connected to the outer frame, and the spring clockwork always exerts a tendency on the slide seat to extend and slide.

[0027] Preferably, the device also includes a motor mounted on the sliding seat. The motor's shaft is equipped with a gear, and the outer sleeve is equipped with a rack. The gear meshes with the rack, and the motor can drive the sliding seat to slide by reversing forward and reverse.

[0028] A vehicle including the aforementioned pull-out folding car cup holder.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] 1. The movement of the sliding seat in the linkage range can drive the cup holder to rise and fall through the folding mechanism, while the movement in the idle range will not cause the cup holder to rise and fall; thus, the sliding seat drives the cup holder to rise at the end of the extension stroke; drives the cup holder to fall at the beginning of the retraction stroke, and the sliding seat and folding mechanism are no longer linked after the cup holder enters the outer frame.

[0031] 2. The linkage element is the core component for adjusting the height of the cup holder. The linkage element has two different connection states. The linkage element is in the first connection state only when the sliding seat is in the linkage range. At this time, the linkage element locks the outer frame and allows relative sliding with the sliding seat. Therefore, when the sliding seat slides, it can generate relative movement between the folding mechanism and the linkage element, thereby driving the cup holder to rise and fall. The linkage element is in the second connection state only when the sliding seat is in the free travel range. At this time, the linkage element locks the sliding seat and allows relative sliding with the outer frame. Therefore, when the sliding seat slides, the folding mechanism and the linkage element remain stationary, and the cup holder remains in the lowest position without movement.

[0032] 3. The drive shaft and the folding mechanism are hinged together, which allows the slide shaft to swing around the drive shaft as the center, thereby switching the slide shaft to the first straight segment or the second straight segment. When the slide shaft is in the first inclined groove segment or the second inclined groove segment, it can be locked together with the outer frame or the sliding seat.

[0033] 4. Since both the first and second straight segments are set along the sliding direction of the sliding seat, this means that when the sliding seat slides, the sliding shaft can slide along the straight segment; while the inclined groove segment has an angular deviation from the sliding direction of the sliding seat, this means that the inclined groove segment can lock the sliding shaft, thereby restricting the sliding of the linkage element.

[0034] 5. By setting folding mechanisms and linkage elements on both sides of the sliding base, the balance and stability of the entire structure during operation can be ensured. This design effectively avoids tilting or jamming caused by unilateral force, making the cup holder more stable and safer. Furthermore, the two linkage elements work together to synchronously drive the two folding mechanisms, ensuring consistent movement of the cup holder during lifting and lowering.

Detailed Implementation

[0047] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a pull-out folding car cup holder includes:

[0049] Coat rack 100;

[0050] The sliding seat 200 is slidably connected to the outer frame 100, and the sliding seat 200 is equipped with at least one folding mechanism 300;

[0051] The travel positions of the sliding seat 200 include an unfolded position, a first switching position, a second switching position, and a retracted position arranged sequentially along the retraction direction; a linkage interval is formed between the unfolded position and the first switching position, a switching interval is formed between the first switching position and the second switching position, and an empty travel interval is formed between the second switching position and the retracted position;

[0052] The cup holder 400 is vertically connected to the sliding seat 200 via the folding mechanism 300. The height position of the cup holder 400 on the sliding seat 200 is determined by the geometry of the folding mechanism 300.

[0053] Linkage element 500 is slidably mounted on slide base 200. The number of linkage elements 500 is the same as the number of folding mechanisms 300 and they are set in a one-to-one correspondence. Linkage element 500 is linked to folding mechanism 300. When linkage element 500 moves relative to slide base 200, it drives folding mechanism 300 to move. The stroke position of linkage element 500 on slide base 200 determines the geometric state of folding mechanism 300.

[0054] The linkage element 500 has a first connection state and a second connection state; when the linkage element 500 is in the first connection state, the linkage element 500 is locked with the outer frame 100, and the linkage element 500 and the sliding seat 200 are allowed to move relative to each other; when the linkage element 500 is in the second connection state, the linkage element 500 and the outer frame 100 are allowed to move relative to each other, and the linkage element 500 is locked with the sliding seat 200.

[0055] The direction of movement of the sliding block 200 within the switching interval determines whether the linkage element 500 tends towards the first connection state or the second connection state.

[0056] When the sliding seat 200 is in the linkage zone, the linkage element 500 is in the first connection state, and the sliding seat 200 is linked to the folding mechanism 300 through the linkage element 500;

[0057] When the sliding seat 200 is in the empty travel range, the linkage element 500 is in the second connection state, and the sliding seat 200 and the folding mechanism 300 are not linked.

[0058] It should be added that the outer cover 100 is designed as a box-shaped structure with a front opening. The process of the sliding seat 200 sliding into the outer cover 100 is defined as retraction, and the movement of extending out of the front opening is defined as extension. The folding mechanism 300 can drive the cup holder 400 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height position (or distance) of the cup holder 400 relative to the sliding seat 200. The cup holder 400 is provided with at least one round hole, into which cups and other containers can be placed, with the bottom of the cups and other containers resting on the sliding seat 200. The sliding seat 200 and the cup holder 400 cooperate to realize the cup holder function.

[0059] When the sliding seat 200 is in the linkage zone, the folding mechanism 300 and the cup holder 400 are located outside the outer frame 100; when the sliding seat 200 is in the switching zone and the idle travel zone, part or all of the folding mechanism 300 and the cup holder 400 are located inside the outer frame 100. The sliding seat 200 can only control the movement of the folding mechanism 300 in the linkage zone, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the cup holder 400. Once the sliding seat 200 slides to the switching zone or the idle travel zone, the folding mechanism 300 remains stationary, and the cup holder 400 remains in a lowered state tightly against the sliding seat 200 (i.e., the cup holder 400 is in the lowest position). At this time, no matter how the sliding seat 200 slides, it cannot drive the folding mechanism 300 to move.

[0060] In the example, when the sliding seat 200 is in the linkage range, the folding mechanism 300 and the cup holder 400 are always outside the outer frame 100; and when the sliding seat 200 is in the unfolded position, the cup holder 400 is at its highest position, at which time a cup can be placed; when the sliding seat 200 is in other travel ranges, the cup holder 400 remains at its lowest position and is located inside the outer frame 100, which means that the sliding seat 200 can slide arbitrarily without worrying about the folding mechanism 300 and the cup holder 400 colliding or scratching with the outer frame 100.

[0061] The linkage element 500 is the core component for adjusting the height of the cup holder 400. The linkage element 500 has two different connection states. The linkage element 500 is in the first connection state only when the sliding seat 200 is in the linkage range. At this time, the linkage element 500 locks the outer frame 100 and allows relative sliding with the sliding seat 200. Therefore, when the sliding seat 200 slides, it can generate relative movement between the folding mechanism 300 and the linkage element 500, thereby driving the cup holder 400 to rise and fall. The linkage element 500 is in the second connection state only when the sliding seat 200 is in the idle travel range. At this time, the linkage element 500 locks the sliding seat 200 and allows relative sliding with the outer frame 100. Therefore, when the sliding seat 200 slides, the folding mechanism 300 and the linkage element 500 remain stationary, and the cup holder 400 remains in the lowest position without movement.

[0062] The logic for switching the connection state of the linkage element 500 is as follows: when the sliding seat 200 moves towards the unfolded position in the switching interval, the linkage element 500 gradually tends towards the first connection state; when the sliding seat 200 moves towards the retracted position in the switching interval, the linkage element 500 gradually tends towards the second connection state.

[0063] The process of the sliding seat 200 being pushed outward: It moves from the storage position to the unfolding direction. The sliding seat 200 first moves in the empty travel range. At this time, the linkage element 500 is in the second connection state. The linkage element 500 and the sliding seat 200 remain stationary. The cup holder 400 is kept in the lowest position. At this time, the cup holder 400 can move with the sliding seat 200 inside the outer frame 100 without collision or interference. As the sliding seat 200 continues to move, it enters the switching range. The linkage element 500 gradually changes from the second connection state to the first connection state. The sliding seat 200 enters the linkage range. At this time, the linkage element 500 is in the first connection state and is locked with the outer frame 100. The sliding seat 200 continues to move forward, driving the folding mechanism 300 to move through the linkage element 500, thereby causing the cup holder 400 to rise.

[0064] The process of the sliding seat 200 being pushed back into the outer cover 100: The sliding seat 200 moves from the unfolded position to the storage direction. The sliding seat 200 first passes through the linkage interval, and the linkage element 500 is still in the first connection state. The sliding seat 200 drives the cup holder 400 to descend through the linkage element 500 and the folding mechanism 300. When the sliding seat 200 is in the first switching position, the cup holder 400 is exactly in the lowest position and can smoothly enter the front opening of the outer cover 100. Then the sliding seat 200 enters the switching interval. Since it is pushed inward, the linkage element 500 gradually switches to the second connection state. The sliding seat 200 enters the free travel interval. The linkage element 500 locks with the sliding seat 200, thereby disengaging the linkage relationship between the sliding seat 200 and the folding mechanism 300. The movement of the sliding seat 200 does not drive the cup holder 400 to rise or fall.

[0065] In summary, the movement of the sliding seat 200 within the linkage range can drive the cup holder 400 to rise and fall, while movement within the idle travel range will not cause the cup holder 400 to move. Therefore, in the initial stage of retraction, the cup holder 400 descends. When the sliding seat 200 retracts to a certain position, the linkage element 500 locks with the sliding seat 200, and the cup holder 400 remains stationary as the sliding seat 200 continues to slide. In the initial stage of extension, the cup holder 400 remains stationary. When the sliding seat 200 extends to a certain position, the linkage element 500 separates from the sliding seat 200, and the cup holder 400 gradually rises as the sliding seat 200 continues to slide.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 3C , Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the linkage element 500 is equipped with a drive shaft 510 and a slide shaft 520. The drive shaft 510 is connected to the folding mechanism 300. The outer frame 100 is provided with a first slide groove 110, the sliding seat 200 is provided with a second slide groove 210, and the slide shaft 520 passes through the first slide groove 110 and the second slide groove 210.

[0067] When the sliding seat 200 is in the linkage range, the sliding shaft 520 is locked with the first sliding groove 110, causing the linkage element 500 to remain stationary relative to the outer frame 100; when the sliding seat 200 is in the idle travel range, the sliding shaft 520 is locked with the second sliding groove 210, causing the linkage element 500 to remain stationary relative to the sliding seat 200.

[0068] Based on the above embodiments, the first slide 110 includes a first straight segment 111 and a first inclined segment 112, the first inclined segment 112 being connected to one end of the first straight segment 111; the second slide 210 includes a second straight segment 211 and a second inclined segment 212, the second inclined segment 212 being connected to one end of the second straight segment 211.

[0069] When the linkage element 500 is in the first connection state, the slide shaft 520 is located at the end of the first inclined groove section 112 and the second straight section 211. The end of the first inclined groove section 112 restricts the movement of the linkage element 500 relative to the outer frame 100 by abutting the slide shaft 520, and the slide shaft 520 is allowed to move within the second straight section 211.

[0070] When the sliding seat 200 is in the switching interval, the sliding shaft 520 is located in the first inclined groove section 112 and the second inclined groove section 212. The sliding direction of the sliding seat 200 determines whether the sliding shaft 520 tends to the end of the first inclined groove section 112 or the end of the second inclined groove section 212.

[0071] When the linkage element 500 is in the second connection state, the slide shaft 520 is located at the end of the first straight segment 111 and the second inclined groove segment 212. The end of the second inclined groove segment 212 restricts the movement of the linkage element 500 relative to the sliding seat 200 by abutting the slide shaft 520. The slide shaft 520 is allowed to move within the first straight segment 111.

[0072] The linkage element 500 is preferably a long rod-shaped structure. The drive shaft 510 and the slide shaft 520 are located at the two ends of the linkage element 500, respectively. The drive shaft 510 and the folding mechanism 300 are hinged together, which allows the slide shaft 520 to swing around the drive shaft 510 as the center, thereby allowing the slide shaft 520 to switch to the first straight segment 111 or the second straight segment 211. When the slide shaft 520 is located in the first inclined groove segment 112 or the second inclined groove segment 212, it can be locked together with the outer frame 100 or the sliding seat 200.

[0073] Based on the above embodiments, the first straight segment 111 and the second straight segment 211 are both arranged along the sliding direction of the sliding seat 200. The first straight segment 111 and the second straight segment 211 are parallel and do not overlap. The first inclined groove segment 112 and the second inclined groove segment 212 are both inclined in the sliding direction of the sliding seat 200. The first inclined groove segment 112 is inclined toward the second straight segment 211, and the end of the first inclined groove segment 112 is on the same straight line as the second straight segment 211. The second inclined groove segment 212 is inclined toward the first straight segment 111, and the end of the second inclined groove segment 212 is on the same straight line as the first straight segment 111.

[0074] Since the first straight segment 111 and the second straight segment 211 are both set along the sliding direction of the sliding seat 200, this means that when the sliding seat 200 slides, the sliding shaft 520 can slide along the straight segment; while the inclined groove segment has an angular deviation from the sliding direction of the sliding seat 200, which means that the inclined groove segment can lock the sliding shaft 520, thereby restricting the sliding of the linkage element 500.

[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, there are two folding mechanisms 300 and two linkage elements 500. The two linkage elements 500 are located on both sides of the sliding seat 200. The two side walls of the sliding seat 200 are close to the two side walls of the outer frame 100. The two side walls of the outer frame 100 are provided with a first sliding groove 110, and the two side walls of the sliding seat 200 are provided with a second sliding groove 210.

[0076] By setting folding mechanisms 300 and linkage elements 500 on both sides of the sliding base 200, the balance and stability of the entire structure during operation can be ensured. This design effectively avoids tilting or jamming caused by unilateral force, making the cup holder more stable and safer. Furthermore, the two linkage elements 500 work together to synchronously drive the two folding mechanisms 300, ensuring the consistency of the cup holder base 400's movement during lifting and lowering.

[0077] Based on the above implementation method, the sliding seat 200 is provided with two limiting members 220. The two limiting members 220 are respectively close to the two side walls of the sliding seat 200. A limiting gap is reserved between the limiting members 220 and the side walls of the sliding seat 200. The linkage element 500 is disposed in the limiting gap, and the front and back of the linkage element 500 abut against the side walls of the sliding seat 200 and the limiting members 220, respectively.

[0078] The limiting member 220 cooperates with the side wall of the sliding seat 200 to play a guiding and limiting role. The linkage element 500 is clamped between the side wall of the sliding seat 200 and the limiting member 220, so that it can only move in a predetermined direction. This structure effectively prevents the linkage element 500 from swaying or tilting during the movement, and improves the stability of the linkage element 500's movement.

[0079] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the folding mechanism 300 is configured as a scissor structure. The folding mechanism 300 includes a first folding arm 310, a second folding arm 320, and a hinge shaft 330. The first folding arm 310 and the second folding arm 320 are hinged through the hinge shaft 330. One end of the first folding arm 310 is hinged to the cup holder 400. The drive shaft 510 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first folding arm 310. The other end of the first folding arm 310 is slidably connected to the sliding seat 200 through the drive shaft 510. One end of the second folding arm 320 is slidably connected to the cup holder 400, and the other end of the second folding arm 320 is hinged to the sliding seat 200.

[0080] The scissor lift mechanism is a commonly used lifting and folding mechanism. Its core principle is to achieve the lifting and lowering movement of the cup holder 400 through the relative rotation of the first folding arm 310 and the second folding arm 320. The linkage element 500 is hinged to the other end (sliding end) of the first folding arm 310 via the drive shaft 510. When the linkage element 500 is locked together with the outer frame 100 (in the first connected state), as the sliding seat 200 slides, the linkage element 500 moves relative to the sliding seat 200, thereby pushing or pulling the other end of the first folding arm 310. The other end of the first folding arm 310 slides relative to the sliding seat 200, causing the first folding arm 310 and the second folding arm 320 to rotate relative to each other, thus changing the geometry of the folding mechanism 300 and ultimately driving the cup holder 400 to lift and lower.

[0081] It should be noted that a torsion spring is provided at one end of the first folding arm 310 (the end that is hinged to the cup holder 400). The two ends of the torsion spring are connected to the first folding arm 310 and the cup holder 400 respectively. The torsion spring always applies a torque to the folding mechanism 300 through the first folding arm 310 to drive the cup holder 400 to rise.

[0082] The working principle of this pull-out folding car cup holder is as follows:

[0083] like Figure 1 , Figure 2A , Figure 3A , Figure 4A As shown, when the sliding seat 200 is in the unfolded position, the cup holder 400 is located outside the outer sleeve 100, the end of the first inclined groove section 112 and the rear end of the second straight section 211 coincide, and the sliding shaft 520 is located at the end of the first inclined groove section 112 and inside the second straight section 211. The first inclined groove section 112 is inclined to the sliding direction of the sliding seat 200, which means that the sliding shaft 520 is abutted by the first inclined groove section 112, so that the linkage element 500 and the outer sleeve 100 are locked together, and the linkage element 500 is allowed to move relative to the sliding seat 200, that is, the linkage element 500 is in the first connection state.

[0084] like Figure 1 , Figure 2B , Figure 3B , Figure 4B , Figure 5 As shown, when the sliding seat 200 begins to retract, it first passes through the linkage interval. Since the sliding shaft 520 is blocked by the first inclined groove section 112, and the sliding shaft 520 can slide within the second straight section 211, the linkage element 500 moves relative to the sliding seat 200. The linkage element 500 pushes one end of the first folding arm 310 to slide through the drive shaft 510, thereby deforming the folding mechanism 300, and then causing the cup holder 400 to gradually descend through the folding mechanism 300.

[0085] When the sliding seat 200 reaches the first switching position, the cup holder 400 descends to its lowest position and is about to enter the front opening of the outer sleeve 100. At this time, the sliding shaft 520 enters the starting end of the second inclined groove section 212. As the sliding seat 200 continues to retract within the switching range, the second inclined groove section 212 drives the sliding shaft 520 to move (the sliding shaft 520 itself cannot move; it can only move within the first inclined groove section 112 under the traction of the second inclined groove section 212). The sliding shaft 520 gradually moves towards the starting end of the first inclined groove section 112 and the end of the second inclined groove section 212, that is, the sliding shaft 520 transfers at the intersection of the first inclined groove section 112 and the second inclined groove section 212, and the first connection state gradually changes to the second connection state. When the sliding seat 200 reaches the second switching position, the sliding shaft 520 is located at the starting end of the first inclined groove section 112 and the end of the second inclined groove section 212.

[0086] like Figure 1 , Figure 2C , Figure 3C , Figure 4C As shown, when the sliding seat 200 enters the empty travel range, the cup holder 400 gradually enters the outer frame 100. At this time, the sliding shaft 520 is located at the end of the first straight section 111 and the second inclined groove section 212. The sliding shaft 520 is abutted by the second inclined groove section 212, so that the linkage element 500 is locked together with the sliding seat 200, and the linkage element 500 is allowed to slide relative to the outer frame 100, that is, the linkage element 500 is in the second connection state. At this time, the linkage element 500 moves together with the sliding seat 200. The linkage element 500 cannot push the first folding arm 310 to move through the drive shaft 510, so that the cup holder 400 remains stationary. As the sliding seat 200 continues to slide, it finally enters the storage position.

[0087] When the sliding seat 200 moves from the storage position to the unfolding direction, the linkage element 500 operates along the opposite path to the retraction process. After entering the switching interval, the locking state between the linkage element 500 and the sliding seat 200 is gradually released, and the sliding seat 200 gradually returns to the first connection state. This allows the sliding seat 200 to establish a linkage relationship with the cup holder 400 when it is in the linkage interval, causing the cup holder 400 to rise accordingly.

[0088] Example 1:

[0089] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a spring 230, which is mounted on the slide seat 200 and connected to the outer frame 100. The spring 230 always applies a tendency to extend and slide the slide seat 200.

[0090] The function of the spring 230 is to provide an outward extension force to the slider 200, so that the slider 200 can automatically unfold under the action of the spring 230 and retract to the hidden position by manual means.

[0091] Example 2:

[0092] It also includes a motor, which is mounted on the sliding seat 200. The motor shaft is equipped with a gear, and the outer frame 100 is equipped with a rack. The gear and the rack mesh, and the motor can drive the sliding seat 200 to slide by rotating in both directions.

[0093] In Embodiment 2, an additional motor is added as a power source. The outer frame 100 is provided with a rack, and a gear is installed on the motor shaft. The gear meshes with the rack structure, so the motor can drive the sliding seat 200 to extend and slide by reversing forward and reverse.

[0094] In both Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, a damper can be installed between the sliding seat 200 and the outer frame 100 to make the sliding seat 200 more stable during extension and retraction.

[0095] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a vehicle includes a pull-out folding cup holder. The cup holder is typically installed in the center console area, rear seat armrest, or door storage compartment. When the cup holder is unfolded, the sliding seat 200 initially slides out through the empty travel range, at which point the cup holder base 400 is at its lowest position. After passing the first switching position, the cup holder base 400 rises synchronously with the movement of the sliding seat 200. When folding, the cup holder base 400 first descends synchronously with the retraction of the sliding seat 200. When the sliding seat 200 reaches the first switching position, the cup holder base 400 descends to its lowest position, and then the sliding seat 200 continues to retract within the empty travel range after passing the switching range.

[0096] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0097] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," and "a" is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0098] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0099] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
