Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle interior devices and relates to a vehicle cup holder. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, car cup holders on the market have certain limitations: some are designed with only a single hole, and due to the lack of effective restraint, small bottles can easily shift or even tip over during driving due to bumps and swaying. This not only affects the user experience but can also cause unnecessary chaos in the car, such as spilled drinks wetting the seats. While some car cup holders have two holes, the size of these holes is fixed. For large bottles, the size exceeds the hole diameter, making them difficult to fit. This results in poor compatibility, failing to meet users' needs for storing various bottle sizes in different scenarios, thus limiting the practicality and versatility of car cup holders. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a car cup holder that can both limit the movement of small bottles and accommodate large bottles.

[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A car cup holder includes a cup holder body with an elongated placement cavity. A first guide groove is provided on one long side of the placement cavity, and a partition extending along the width direction of the cup holder is slidably disposed in the first guide groove. A second guide groove is provided on the other long side of the placement cavity, opposite to the first guide groove. The end of the partition near the second guide groove is slidably disposed in the second guide groove. A positioning component is provided between the partition and the cup holder body for positioning the partition in its current position.

[0006] The plane containing the partition is parallel to the inner bottom surface of the placement cavity. When the partition is not close to the end of the placement cavity, it divides the placement cavity into two chambers, which can hold two cups. When the partition is close to the end of the placement cavity, the resulting chamber is the largest and can hold large bottles.

[0007] By adjusting the position of the partitions within the placement chamber, the size and number of chambers can be changed, allowing for both the placement and placement of small vials and the accommodation of large vials.

[0008] In the aforementioned vehicle cup holder, the positioning assembly includes a guide hole extending through the partition along the width direction of the placement cavity, a first limiting rod and a second limiting rod slidably disposed within the guide hole, and a spring disposed between the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod. The outer end of the first limiting rod extends out of the guide hole and abuts against one of the long sides of the placement cavity under the action of the spring. The outer end of the second limiting rod extends out of the guide hole and abuts against the other long side of the placement cavity under the action of the spring. The partition is also provided with a driving structure for synchronously bringing the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod closer together.

[0009] The partition is limited by the friction between the first and second limiting rods and the long side of the placement cavity, which has a good limiting effect. The first and second limiting rods can be driven to move inward synchronously through the driving structure, which releases the friction between the first and second limiting rods and the long side of the placement cavity, making it convenient to move the partition.

[0010] In the aforementioned vehicle cup holder, one side of the partition has an opening communicating with a guide hole. The driving structure includes a first working part located at the inner end of the first limiting rod and extending out of the opening, a second working part located at the inner end of the second limiting rod and extending out of the opening, and an annular traction belt sleeved on the first working part and the second working part. A rotating rod is rotatably provided on the partition, and a slot is provided on the rotating rod. The annular traction belt is clamped in the slot.

[0011] When the first and second limiting rods are pressed against the long side of the placement cavity under the action of the spring, the traction belt is still in a relatively loose state. When the rotating rod is rotated, the annular traction belt is wound around the rotating rod, which will drive the first and second action parts to move closer together, thereby causing the first and second limiting rods to disengage from the friction with the long side of the placement cavity.

[0012] To prevent the annular traction belt from falling off, annular grooves are provided on the first and second working parts respectively. The annular traction belt is stuck in the annular groove and fixed to the groove. When the first and second limiting rods are pressed against the long side of the placement cavity under the action of the spring, the traction belt is just in a taut state.

[0013] In the aforementioned vehicle cup holder, one end of the partition is provided with two first sliders that slide in cooperation with the first guide groove, and the outer end of the aforementioned first limiting rod is located between the two first sliders. The other end of the partition is provided with two second sliders that slide in cooperation with the second guide groove, and the outer end of the aforementioned second limiting rod is located between the two second sliders.

[0014] In the aforementioned car cup holder, there are recesses on both sides of the partition. The recesses are arc-shaped, providing space to accommodate larger bottles.

[0015] In the aforementioned car cup holder, an elastic pad is provided inside the recess.

[0016] In the aforementioned vehicle cup holder, elastic friction pads are respectively provided in the first guide groove and the second guide groove. The inner ends of the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod abut against the corresponding elastic friction pads under the action of springs to increase the friction force.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this car cup holder has the following advantages:

[0018] By adjusting the position of the partitions within the placement chambers, the size and number of chambers can be changed, allowing for both the placement and restriction of small bottles and the placement and restriction of large bottles, thereby improving the convenience, adaptability, and user experience of the car cup holder in actual use.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 The car cup holder shown includes a cup holder body 1, a long strip-shaped placement cavity 2 on the cup holder body 1, a first guide groove 3 on one long side of the placement cavity 2, a partition 4 extending along the width direction of the cup holder slidingly in the first guide groove 3, a second guide groove 5 opposite to the first guide groove 3 on the other long side of the placement cavity 2, and the end of the partition 4 near the second guide groove 5 slidingly in the second guide groove 5.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, there are clearance openings 15 on both sides. These openings 15 are arc-shaped, providing space to accommodate larger bottles, such as... Figure 4As shown, an elastic pad 16 is provided inside the relief opening 15 to increase the clamping force on the bottle and reduce noise.

[0027] A positioning component is provided between the partition 4 and the cup holder body 1 to position the partition 4 in its current position after it has been moved into place. The plane on which the partition 4 is located is parallel to the inner bottom surface of the placement cavity 2. When the partition 4 is not close to the end of the placement cavity 2, the partition 4 divides the placement cavity 2 into two cavities that can hold two cups. When the partition 4 is close to the end of the placement cavity 2, the cavity formed is the largest and can hold large bottles.

[0028] By adjusting the position of the partition 4 within the placement cavity 2, the size and number of cavities can be changed, so that it can both limit the placement of small bottles and accommodate the placement and limiting of large bottles.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a guide hole extending through the partition 4 along the width direction of the placement cavity 2, a first limiting rod 6 and a second limiting rod 7 slidably disposed within the guide hole, and a spring 8 disposed between the first limiting rod 6 and the second limiting rod 7. The outer end of the first limiting rod 6 extends out of the guide hole and abuts against one of the long sides of the placement cavity 2 under the action of the spring 8. The outer end of the second limiting rod 7 extends out of the guide hole and abuts against the other long side of the placement cavity 2 under the action of the spring 8. The partition 4 is also provided with a drive structure for synchronously bringing the first limiting rod 6 and the second limiting rod 7 together.

[0030] The partition 4 is limited by the friction between the first limiting rod 6, the second limiting rod 7 and the long side of the placement cavity 2, which has a good limiting effect. The first limiting rod 6 and the second limiting rod 7 can be driven to move inward synchronously through the driving structure, thereby relieving the friction between the first limiting rod 6, the second limiting rod 7 and the long side of the placement cavity 2, which makes it convenient to move the partition 4.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the partition 4 has an opening on one side that communicates with the guide hole. The driving structure includes a first action part 9 located at the inner end of the first limiting rod 6 and extending out of the opening, a second action part 10 located at the inner end of the second limiting rod 7 and extending out of the opening, and an annular traction belt 11 sleeved on the first action part 9 and the second action part 10. The annular traction belt 11 is not elastic. A rotating rod 12 is rotatably provided on the partition 4. The rotating rod 12 has a slot, and the annular traction belt 11 is clamped in the slot.

[0032] When the first limiting rod 6 and the second limiting rod 7 are pressed against the long side of the placement cavity 2 under the action of the spring 8, the traction belt is still in a relatively loose state. When the rotating rod 12 is rotated, the annular traction belt 11 is wrapped around the rotating rod 12, which will drive the first action part 9 and the second action part 10 to move closer to each other, thereby causing the first limiting rod 6 and the second limiting rod 7 to disengage from the friction with the long side of the placement cavity 2.

[0033] To prevent the annular traction belt 11 from falling off, annular grooves are provided on the first working part 9 and the second working part 10 respectively. The annular traction belt 11 is stuck in the annular groove and fixed to the groove. When the first limiting rod 6 and the second limiting rod 7 are pressed against the long side of the placement cavity 2 under the action of the spring 8, the traction belt is just in a taut state.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the partition 4 is provided with two first sliders 13 that slide in cooperation with the first guide groove 3, and the outer end of the first limiting rod 6 is located between the two first sliders 13. The other end of the partition 4 is provided with two second sliders 14 that slide in cooperation with the second guide groove 5, and the outer end of the second limiting rod 7 is located between the two second sliders 14.

[0035] In this embodiment, elastic friction pads are respectively provided in the first guide groove 3 and the second guide groove 5. The inner ends of the first limiting rod 6 and the second limiting rod 7 abut against the corresponding elastic friction pads under the action of the spring 8 to increase the friction force.

[0036] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
