[0043] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0044] As cars become more common in households, people have increasingly higher demands for the technological sophistication, luxury, and comfort of car interiors. A cup holder is typically located on the passenger side dashboard, with a hinged flip-top. When the flip-top is open, cups or bottles can be secured inside the cup holder to prevent them from tipping over while the vehicle is in motion. When not in use, the cup holder is closed with the flip-top to enhance the overall refined look of the vehicle.

[0045] However, the flip-top design in this technology is prone to interfering with the cup in the cup holder or other components near the cup holder, making it inconvenient to use and affecting the user experience.

[0046] Based on this, the present invention provides a vehicle cup holder structure, a sub-dashboard assembly, and a vehicle. By setting a storage groove on one side of the cup holder slot, a cover is placed on the cup holder slot and the storage groove. A connecting mechanism is slidably set in the storage groove, and the connecting mechanism is rotatably connected to the cover. In this way, when the cover is rotated away from the cup holder slot to open, it can move towards the storage groove until the cover is inserted and stored in the storage groove. This avoids interference between the cover and the cup in the cup holder slot or other components near the cup holder slot, making the cover setting more flexible and improving the convenience and user experience.

[0047] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, illustrates the vehicle-mounted cup holder structure, sub-instrument panel assembly, and vehicle provided by this utility model:

[0048] refer to Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted cup holder structure. This cup holder structure is applied to vehicles to hold water cups, water bottles, etc., and can prevent water cups, water bottles, etc. from tipping over while the vehicle is in motion. Of course, it can also be used to hold other small items such as keys.

[0049] In practice, the in-vehicle cup holder structure can be installed on the vehicle's passenger side dashboard, for example.

[0050] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the in-vehicle cup holder structure includes a housing 1, a cover 2, and a connecting mechanism 3. The housing 1 has a cup holder slot 11 and a storage slot 12, with the storage slot 12 located on one side of the cup holder slot 11. At least a portion of the connecting mechanism 3 is disposed within the storage slot 12 and rotatably connected to the cover 2. The connecting mechanism 3 can reciprocate between the opening and bottom of the storage slot 12, allowing the cover 2 to extend into the storage slot 12 when rotated away from the cup holder slot 11 to open, and to cover the cup holder slot 11 and the storage slot 12 when rotated towards the cup holder slot 11 to close.

[0051] By setting a storage groove 12 on the housing 1, so that the storage groove 12 is located on one side of the cup holder groove 11, the cover 2 is simultaneously placed on the cup holder groove 11 and the storage groove 12, resulting in a better appearance and improving the refinement and aesthetics of the vehicle cup holder structure.

[0052] In practice, the connecting mechanism 3 can be slidably connected within the storage slot 12, allowing it to reciprocate between the opening and bottom of the storage slot 12. This means the connecting mechanism 3 can reciprocate along the depth of the storage slot 12. Since the connecting mechanism 3 is rotatably connected to the lid 2, when the lid 2 is rotated away from the cup holder slot 11 around the rotatable connection point with the connecting mechanism 3, it can move towards the storage slot 12 under external force and be stored within it. This prevents the lid 2 from interfering with water bottles, cups, or other items placed in the cup holder slot 11, and also prevents interference with other components near the cup holder slot 11. The lid 2 is designed to be flexible, allowing for easy opening and closing, and is convenient to use.

[0053] Furthermore, after the cover 2 is opened, it is stored in the storage slot 12. In this way, the storage slot 12 has a certain protective effect on the cover 2, which helps to extend the service life of the cover 2, thereby making the service life of the vehicle cup holder structure of this embodiment longer.

[0054] Meanwhile, the cover 2 is stored in the storage slot 12, so that the cover 2 will not be exposed when opened. The space utilization is high and the layout is relatively reasonable, which enhances the exquisiteness of the car cup holder structure to a certain extent.

[0055] Because the lid 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting mechanism 3, the lid 2 can be rotated around the rotatable connection point with the connecting mechanism 3 to open in a direction away from the cup holder 11, or to close in a direction closer to the cup holder 11. Because the connecting mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the storage slot 12, the lid 2 can move relative to the storage slot 12 after it is opened.

[0056] In practical use, if you want to place a water cup, water bottle, or other item in the cup holder 11, first, rotate the lid 2 away from the cup holder 11 until it is open (see reference). Figure 1 (The dotted line R in the diagram flips upwards and to the right), that is, the cover 2 flips open to the side where the storage slot 12 is located. Then, the cover 2 is moved towards the direction closer to the storage slot 12 (see reference). Figure 2 (Move the dotted line H downwards) to hide the lid 2 in the storage slot 12, making the cup holder 11 visible, so that water cups, water bottles, etc. can be placed in the cup holder 11.

[0057] After use, if you want to replace the lid 2 on the cup holder 11 and the storage slot 12, move the lid 2 away from the storage slot 12 (see reference). Figure 2 Move the dotted line H upwards), then rotate the lid 2 toward the cup holder 11 (see reference). Figure 1 (Flip the dotted line R in the middle to the lower left) so that the cover 2 can be placed on the cup holder 11 and the storage slot 12, making the appearance relatively flat.

[0058] The vehicle cup holder structure provided in this embodiment comprises a housing 1, a cover 2, and a connecting mechanism 3. A cup holder slot 11 and a storage slot 12 are provided on the housing 1, with the storage slot 12 located on one side of the cup holder slot 11. The cover 2 is placed over the cup holder slot 11 and the storage slot 12. At least a portion of the connecting mechanism 3 is disposed within the storage slot 12, allowing the connecting mechanism 3 to be rotatably connected to the cover 2. The connecting mechanism 3 can reciprocate between the opening and bottom of the storage slot 12, meaning it can reciprocate along the depth of the storage slot 12. This allows the cover 2 to extend into the storage slot 12 when it is rotated away from the cup holder slot 11 to open. In practical use, flip the lid 2 away from the cup holder 11 to open it; then move the lid 2 into the storage slot 12. Since the connecting mechanism 3 connected to the lid 2 can slide along the depth of the storage slot 12, the lid 2 can be inserted into the storage slot 12. In other words, after the lid 2 is flipped open, it can be moved into the storage slot 12 and hidden away. This way, the lid 2 will not interfere with the cups or bottles in the cup holder 11 after it is opened, nor will it interfere with other parts attached to the cup holder 11. This makes the lid 2 more flexible in its design, improving ease of use and user experience.

[0059] Meanwhile, since the lid 2 covers both the cup holder 11 and the storage slot 12, it ensures a flat appearance and enhances aesthetics. Furthermore, after being flipped over, the lid 2 can slide and be stored in the storage slot 12, improving space utilization and maintaining a high level of aesthetics.

[0060] refer to Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the connecting mechanism 3 is provided with a first sliding part 331, and the storage groove 12 is provided with a second sliding part 121 that matches the first sliding part 331. The first sliding part 331 and the second sliding part 121 are matched and connected so that the connecting mechanism 3 can move back and forth between the opening of the storage groove 12 and the bottom of the storage groove 12, which is convenient for assembly and facilitates the reciprocating movement of the connecting mechanism 3 between the opening of the storage groove 12 and the bottom of the storage groove 12.

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the first sliding part 331 includes a slider, and the second sliding part 121 includes a groove into which the slider can extend. The groove extends along the direction from the opening of the storage groove 12 to the bottom of the storage groove 12. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and the sliding is convenient and smooth.

[0062] In other embodiments, the first sliding part 331 may be a groove provided on the connecting mechanism 3, and the second sliding part 121 may be a slider provided on the storage groove.

[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, the reciprocating movement of the connecting mechanism 3 within the storage slot 12 can also be achieved by means of a linear motor, a gear rack, or the like.

[0064] refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 3 includes a connecting rod 31, one end of which is rotatably connected to the cover 2. The aforementioned second sliding portion 121, for example, a groove, is provided on the wall of the storage groove 12. The second sliding portion 121 extends along the direction from the opening of the storage groove 12 to the bottom of the storage groove 12. The other end of the connecting rod 31 is slidably connected to the storage groove 12 via the second sliding portion 121, so that the connecting rod 31 can reciprocate between the opening and the bottom of the storage groove 12.

[0065] By providing a second sliding part 121 in the storage groove 12, the second sliding part 121 extends along the direction from the opening of the storage groove 12 to the bottom of the storage groove 12, and the other end of the connecting rod 31 is slidably connected to the second sliding part 121. Therefore, the connecting rod 31 is slidably connected to the storage groove 12 through the second sliding part 121, so that the cover 2 can move relative to the storage groove 12 after being opened, so as to be stored and hidden in the storage groove 12. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and convenient to use.

[0066] In some implementations, the top end of the connecting rod 31 can be rotatably connected to the cover 2, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 31 can be slidably connected to the second sliding part 121 of the storage slot 12. In this way, the cover 2 is slidably connected to the storage slot 12 through the connecting mechanism 3, and the connecting mechanism 3 is not exposed outside the storage slot 12, which improves the aesthetics.

[0067] For specific implementation, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second sliding part 121 can be provided on the wall of the storage groove 12 near the cup holder groove 11, providing a larger flipping space for the lid 2.

[0068] Of course, in other implementations, the second sliding part 121 can also be provided on other groove walls of the storage groove 12.

[0069] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 3 further includes an elastic element 32, one end of which is fixed relative to the receiving groove 12, and the other end of which is fixed relative to the other end of the connecting rod 31. The elastic element 32 is used to drive the cover 2 to pop out from the receiving groove 12.

[0070] By setting an elastic element 32, and fixing one end of the elastic element 32 relative to the storage groove 12, and fixing the other end of the elastic element 32 relative to the other end of the connecting rod 31 (i.e., the end of the connecting rod 31 facing away from the cover 2), when the cover 2 is opened and moves towards the storage groove 12, the connecting rod 31 moves towards the bottom of the storage groove 12, causing the elastic element 32 to elastically extend. After the cover 2 is locked and limited within the storage groove 12, the elastic element 32 maintains the corresponding elastically extended state.

[0071] Once the cover 2 is released from its locking position, it can move away from the storage slot 12 under the elastic force of the elastic element 32 and move to the outside of the storage slot 12. That is, the cover 2 pops out to the outside of the storage slot 12 under the action of the elastic element 32, which saves time and effort, makes it easy for the cover 2 to pop out and reset, and improves the ease of use.

[0072] Of course, in other implementations, the cover 2 can also be manually moved away from the storage slot 12 to the outside of the storage slot 12, for example, referring to... Figure 2 The dotted line H indicates that by pulling the cover 2 upwards, the cover 2 can be removed from the storage slot 12.

[0073] refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 3 further includes a damper 33, the other end of the connecting rod 31 is rotatably connected to the damper 33, and the damper 33 is slidably connected to the second sliding part 121, that is, the other end of the connecting rod 31 is connected to the second sliding part 121 through the damper 33, and the damper 33 is connected to the other end of the elastic member 32.

[0074] By setting a damper 33, the first sliding part 331 is set on the damper 33, so that the connecting rod 31 is slidably connected to the second sliding part 121 through the damper 33. This makes the connecting rod 31 more stable and smooth during the sliding process, and to a certain extent avoids the phenomenon of the connecting rod 31 moving too fast and bumping into the bottom of the storage slot 12. It has a protective effect on the storage slot 12 and the connecting rod 31, and provides a better user experience.

[0075] Furthermore, since the end of the elastic element 32 facing the connecting rod 31 is connected to the damper 33, when the cover 2 moves away from the storage groove 12, the damper 33 can provide resistance to the elastic element 32, so that the elastic element 32 can release the elastic force relatively smoothly. This makes the cover 2 move more smoothly and evenly when it pops out of the storage groove 12, which to a certain extent avoids the phenomenon of the cover 2 popping out quickly under the elastic force of the elastic element 32 and colliding with the shell 1, as well as the phenomenon of stress concentration at the rotational connection between the cover 2 and the connecting mechanism 3, thus protecting the cover.

[0076] By rotatably connecting the end of the connecting rod 31 away from the cover 2 to the damper 33, the degree of freedom at the connection between the connecting rod 31 and the damper 33 is increased, making it easier for the connecting rod 31 to slide in the storage groove 12.

[0077] In some embodiments, a clearance groove 4 is provided on the wall of the storage groove 12. The clearance groove 4 extends along the direction from the opening of the storage groove 12 to the bottom of the storage groove 12. The elastic member 32 passes through the clearance groove 4 and extends to the outside of the storage groove 12. The end of the elastic member 32 facing away from the connecting rod 31 is fixed relative to the outer wall of the storage groove 12. With this arrangement, a part of the elastic member 32 can be arranged on the outer wall of the storage groove 12. On the one hand, the layout is more reasonable and the space utilization rate is higher. On the other hand, it can provide a wider deformation space for the elastic member 32, and the elastic member 32 will not interfere with the movement of the connecting rod 31 mechanism and the cover 2.

[0078] In a practical implementation, the clearance groove 4 can be located, for example, on one side of the second sliding part 121. (See reference) Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the clearance groove 4 is located between the two slides.

[0079] In some embodiments, the elastic element 32 includes a coil spring, which has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0080] For specific usage, please refer to... Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the coil spring is inserted into the clearance groove 4. One end of the coil spring is fixed relative to the receiving groove 12, and the other end of the coil spring can be wound around the coil of the damper 33.

[0081] Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic element 32 may also be a spring, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the receiving groove 12 and the other end of the spring connected to the damper 33.

[0082] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the connecting mechanism 3 has a first shaft hole 311, and the side of the cover 2 facing the connecting mechanism 3 has a second shaft hole 21. The connecting mechanism 3 is rotatably connected to the cover 2 through a connecting shaft 312 passing through the first shaft hole 311 and the second shaft hole 21. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and convenient to connect and rotate.

[0083] In some implementations, the connecting shaft 312 is detachably connected in the first shaft hole 311 and the second shaft hole 21, thereby making the cover 2 detachably connected to the connecting mechanism 3. This facilitates installation and disassembly, makes replacement and maintenance convenient, and helps save replacement costs.

[0084] In practice, a connecting ear 22 is provided on the side of the cover 2 facing the connecting mechanism 3, and a second shaft hole 21 is opened on the connecting ear 22 to facilitate the rotation of the cover 2, and the connecting mechanism 3 will not interfere with the rotation of the cover 2.

[0085] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting ear 22 can be positioned above the junction of the cup holder 11 and the storage slot 12.

[0086] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a shielding part 5 is provided on the side of the cover 2 facing the cup holder 11, and in the direction from the cup holder 11 to the storage groove 12 (see reference) Figure 1 In the X direction, the blocking part 5 is located on the side of the cover 2 away from the storage groove 12, so that the blocking part 5 covers the opening of the storage groove 12 when the cover 2 extends into the storage groove 12.

[0087] By providing a shielding part 5 on the cover 2, and when the cover 2 extends into the storage groove 12, the shielding part 5 covers the opening of the storage groove 12, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 As shown, this design ensures that components such as the connecting mechanism 3 inside the storage slot 12 are not exposed, improving aesthetics. Furthermore, when the cover 2 is opened, dust and water will not enter the storage slot 12 and damage components such as the connecting rod 31, providing some protection and helping to extend its service life.

[0088] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the shielding part 5 includes a hollow baffle, which meets the design requirements of lightweight and facilitates the flipping and sliding of the cover 2.

[0089] In practice, the baffle can be integrally formed with the cover 2, resulting in better overall integrity.

[0090] In some embodiments, a seal (not shown) is provided between the shielding part 5 and the opening of the storage groove 12 so that when the shielding part 5 covers the opening of the storage groove 12, it is sealed with the opening of the storage groove 12, thereby improving the sealing performance at the opening of the storage groove 12.

[0091] The sealing element is provided at least at the position of the shielding part 5 corresponding to the opening of the storage groove 12. When the cover 2 is opened and extends into the storage groove 12, and the shielding part 5 covers the opening of the storage groove 12, the sealing element is sandwiched between the shielding part 5 and the opening of the storage groove 12.

[0092] In practice, the sealing element can be, for example, foam, silicone, etc.

[0093] In some embodiments, a stop wall 6 is provided between the opening of the cup holder 11 and the opening of the storage groove 12, and the blocking part 5 abuts against the stop wall 6 when the cover 2 extends into the storage groove 12.

[0094] By setting the stop wall 6, when the covering part 5 is placed at the opening of the storage groove 12, the covering part 5 abuts against the stop wall 6. In this way, the stop wall 6 provides bearing force for the covering part 5, thereby limiting the cover 2 to a certain extent and avoiding the phenomenon that the cover 2 extends too far into the storage groove 12 and is inconvenient to remove.

[0095] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the stop wall 6 can be provided, for example, on the side of the cup holder 11 facing the storage slot 12. Of course, in other implementations, the stop wall 6 can also be provided on the side of the storage slot 12 facing the cup holder 11.

[0096] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, a first limiting part 23 is provided on the cover 2, and a second limiting part 13 is provided on the housing 1. The second limiting part 13 cooperates with the first limiting part 23 when the cover 2 is inserted into the storage groove 12 to limit the cover 2. In this way, when the cover 2 is inserted into the storage groove 12, the first limiting part 23 and the second limiting part 13 cooperate to limit the cover 2, avoiding the phenomenon of the cover 2 accidentally popping out during driving. Thus, the cover 2 can be stably stored in the storage groove 12, which is convenient to use.

[0097] In practice, the first limiting part 23 can be a limiting card protrusion, and the second limiting part 13 can be a limiting card groove into which the limiting card protrusion extends. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and the limiting is firm.

[0098] In some other implementations, the first limiting part 23 may be a limiting slot, and the second limiting part 13 may be a limiting protrusion.

[0099] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 As shown, a third limiting part 14 is provided on the housing 1. When the cover 2 is placed on the cup holder 11 and the storage slot 12, the third limiting part 14 cooperates with the first limiting part 23 to limit the cover 2, thereby improving the stability of the cover 2 when it is placed on the cup holder 11 and the storage slot 12 and preventing the cover 2 from shaking during driving.

[0100] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a gripping part 7 is provided on the side of the cover 2 away from the cup holder 11. In the direction from the cup holder 11 to the storage groove 12, the gripping part 7 is located on the side of the cover 2 away from the storage groove 12.

[0101] By providing a grip 7 on the side of the lid 2 away from the cup holder 11, the lid 2 can be flipped and moved by holding the grip 7, making it more convenient to use.

[0102] By placing the grip 7 on the side of the cover 2 away from the storage slot 12, the distance between the grip 7 and the rotational connection between the cover 2 and the connecting rod 31 is relatively large, that is, the lever arm is relatively large. Therefore, under the same torque, the force required will be smaller, saving time and effort and making it easier to flip the cover 2.

[0103] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gripping part 7 includes a gripping protrusion, which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and is convenient for gripping and operation.

[0104] Of course, in other embodiments, the grip portion 7 may be, for example, a grip groove.

[0105] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, the grip protrusion stops at the outer edge of the opening of the storage groove 12 when the cover 2 is inserted into the storage groove 12. In this way, the grip protrusion has a certain limiting effect on the cover 2, avoiding the phenomenon that the cover 2 is excessively inserted into the storage groove 12 and is inconvenient to remove, thus improving the ease of use.

[0106] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the storage groove 12 is inclined away from the cup holder groove 11 in the direction from the opening of the groove to the bottom of the groove 12.

[0107] In other words, the storage slot 12 is set at an angle, with one side of the bottom of the storage slot 12 tilted away from the cup holder slot 11. This makes the opening of the storage slot 12 closer to the cup holder slot 11, which reduces the flipping angle of the cover 2 when it enters the storage slot 12. In other words, the cover 2 can be slid into the storage slot 12 without flipping it to 90°. This improves the convenience of flipping and sliding the cover 2, and reduces the clearance required for flipping the cover 2. The space utilization is high, and it is convenient to arrange other components near the vehicle cup holder structure.

[0108] In some implementations, the angle between the center line of the storage groove 12 and the center line of the cup holder groove 11 is 18°-40°, which makes the flipping angle of the lid 2 entering the storage groove 12 smaller, so that the lid 2 can slide into the storage groove 12 more quickly.

[0109] For example, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the dashed line L1 is parallel to the center line of the cup holder 11, and the dashed line L2 is parallel to the center line of the storage slot 12. The angle α between the dashed lines L1 and L2 is 18°-40°, which makes the flip angle of the lid 2 into the storage slot 12 smaller, making it easier for the lid 2 to quickly extend into the storage slot 12 and hide, making it more convenient to use.

[0110] This embodiment also provides a sub-instrument assembly, which includes a vehicle-mounted cup holder structure.

[0111] The secondary instrument panel assembly is located inside the vehicle's driver's compartment, typically positioned between the driver and passengers. The secondary instrument panel assembly may include, for example, a handbrake trim panel, armrest, ashtray, and gearshift trim panel.

[0112] In practice, the in-vehicle cup holder structure can be installed on the armrest, for example.

[0113] In some implementations, the sub-dashboard assembly can provide additional storage space and an interface for drivers and passengers to use various devices and gadgets.

[0114] Storage space could include compartments or drawers for storing items like phones, wallets, and keys. The user interface could include audio controls and climate control buttons for easy operation by the driver and passengers while driving.
