[0024] like Figure 1-6 The image shows the first embodiment of this utility model, which provides a multifunctional car cup holder, including a cup holder assembly 100, comprising a housing 110, a base 120 fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 110, an inner liner 130 fixed to the top of the base 120 and located within the inner cavity of the housing 110, and a temperature control assembly 200, comprising a frame 210, a protective shell 220 fixed to the surface of the frame 210, a semiconductor cooling chip 230 fixed to the surface of the inner liner 130, a heat sink 240 installed within the inner cavity of the frame 210, and a fan for cooling the heat sink 240. 250, a heating coaster 260 for heating beverages, an NTC temperature probe 270 for monitoring temperature, and a temperature controller 280 for temperature regulation, wherein the output end of the NTC temperature probe 270 is connected to the input end of the temperature controller 280, and the output end of the temperature controller 280 is connected to the input ends of the semiconductor cooling chip 230 and the heating coaster 260 respectively. The limiting assembly 300 includes a connecting rod 310, a limiting sleeve 320 fixed to the connecting rod 310 by a rotating shaft, and a limiting baffle 330 installed in the inner cavity of the limiting sleeve 320.

[0025] like Figure 1-6As shown, the cup holder assembly 100 is the basic structure of the entire cup holder, serving to accommodate and support it. The outer shell 110 provides external protection and a fixed frame 210 for the entire cup holder. The base 120 is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 110, providing stable support for the inner liner 130. The inner liner 130 is located in the inner cavity of the outer shell 110 and fixed to the top of the base 120, used to directly place the cup. At the same time, the cup holder assembly 100 is embedded in the car's dashboard area for convenient use by people inside the car. The inner liner 130 can be made of aluminum, which can improve heat conduction efficiency. A temperature control system independent of the car's air conditioning system is constructed through the temperature control assembly 200, which includes a semiconductor cooling chip 230, a heated cup holder 260, and an NTC temperature probe 270. In conjunction with the temperature controller 280, it can independently cool and heat the beverage in the cup holder.

[0032] like Figure 1-6As shown, the limiting component 300 is used to limit the cup body to prevent it from shaking. The connecting rod 310 is movably connected to the inner liner 130 through a damping pivot, and its angle can be adjusted according to the size and position of the cup body. The limiting sleeve 320 is fixed to the connecting rod 310 through a pivot. A limiting baffle 330 is installed in the inner cavity of the limiting sleeve 320. One end of the limiting baffle 330 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 320 through a spring, and the other end extends to the outside of the limiting sleeve 320 and contacts the cup body. When the cup body is placed into the inner liner 130, the limiting baffle 330 presses tightly against the cup body under the action of the spring, which plays a role in stabilizing the cup body. The temperature controller 280 is fixed to the top of the outer shell 110. After receiving the temperature signal from the NTC temperature probe 270, it analyzes and judges according to the preset temperature requirements. Its output end is connected to the input end of the semiconductor cooling chip 230 and the heating coaster 260, respectively, and decides whether to start the cooling or heating function according to the usage requirements.

[0033] In use, the cup holder assembly 100 is the basic structure of the entire cup holder, serving to accommodate and support it. The outer shell 110 provides external protection and a fixing frame 210 for the entire cup holder. The base 120 is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 110, providing stable support for the inner liner 130. The inner liner 130 is located in the inner cavity of the outer shell 110 and fixed to the top of the base 120, used to directly place the cup. Simultaneously, the cup holder assembly 100 is embedded in the center console area of ​​the car for convenient use by passengers. The limiting assembly 300 is used to limit the cup's position, preventing it from being placed inside the vehicle. When the cup is placed in the inner liner 130, the connecting rod 310 is movably connected to the inner liner 130 through a damping pivot, and the angle can be adjusted according to the size and position of the cup. The limiting sleeve 320 is fixed to the connecting rod 310 through a pivot. A limiting baffle 330 is installed in the inner cavity of the limiting sleeve 320. One end of the limiting baffle 330 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 320 through a spring, and the other end extends to the outside of the limiting sleeve 320 and contacts the cup. When the cup is placed in the inner liner 130, the limiting baffle 330 presses tightly against the cup under the action of the spring, which plays a role in stabilizing the cup.

[0034] The temperature control component 200 adjusts and controls the temperature of the beverage inside the cup holder. An NTC temperature probe 270 is embedded in the inner wall of the inner liner 130 to monitor the temperature inside the inner liner 130 in real time. The monitored temperature signal is output and transmitted to the input of the temperature controller 280. After receiving the temperature signal from the NTC temperature probe 270, the temperature controller 280 analyzes and judges according to preset temperature requirements. Its output is connected to the input of the semiconductor cooling chip 230 and the heated coaster 260, respectively, determining whether to activate the cooling or heating function based on usage needs.

[0035] During cooling, the temperature controller 280 sends a working command to the semiconductor cooling chip 230. The cooling end of the semiconductor cooling chip 230 is fixedly connected to the inner liner 130. The cooling effect reduces the temperature inside the inner liner 130, thereby cooling the beverage in the cup. At the same time, the heating surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 230 is fixedly connected to the heat sink 240. The frame 210 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 110. The heat sink 240 is fixed to the inner cavity of the frame 210 and the protective shell 220. The fan 250 is fixed to the surface of the protective shell 220. When the fan 250 works, it accelerates the airflow and dissipates the heat on the heat sink 240, thereby ensuring the cooling effect of the semiconductor cooling chip 230.

[0036] When heating, the temperature controller 280 sends a working command to the heating coaster 260, which is fixed to the top of the base 120 and located in the inner cavity of the inner liner 130. It heats the beverage in the cup by generating heat. This can effectively solve the problem that existing car cup holders rely on the car's air conditioning system when cooling or heating beverages, resulting in limited functionality and inconvenience in flexible use.
