Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, specifically a cup holder and armrest box. Background Technology

[0002] As people's needs change, their demands for interior car functions are gradually increasing. For example, cup holders are places for people to store cups or drinks to prevent liquids from being spilled inside the car and difficult to clean while the vehicle is in motion.

[0003] While existing cup holders come in various types, they still suffer from functional defects. For example, in patent application number 202310731684.1, entitled "A Multifunctional Rotating Cup Holder," paragraph

[0040] states that "the claw 201, under the action of the claw torsion spring 202, pops out of the side shell 200 to fix the placed cup; an external force F4 pushes the arc plate 301 to retract, and its edge 301a abuts against the inclined surface of the claw 201 and overcomes the force of the claw torsion spring 202, squeezing back into the side shell 200 and being blocked by the arc plate 301." It can be seen that the claw in this document is a passive component, relying on a spring to extend and on compression to retract, resulting in wear during both extension and retraction.

[0072] In the description of this application, the term "for example" is used to mean "used as an example, illustration, or description."

The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use the present invention. Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes will not be described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail. Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0073] Example 1

[0074] See Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 The cup holder disclosed in this embodiment includes a housing 1 and a rotating assembly 2; the housing 1 is configured with a base 11 and a first enclosure member 12 deployed around the base 11; the rotating assembly 2 is configured to rotate around the base 11; the rotating assembly 2 and the first enclosure member 12 enclose each other to form a cup holder within at least one rotation range.

[0075] For example, see Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 The housing 1 also includes an outer shell 13 with a receiving cavity 14. The first enclosure 12 is installed on the side wall of the outer shell 13, and the base 11 is installed on the bottom of the outer shell 13. The outer shell 13, the first enclosure 12, and the base 11 form a receiving cavity 14 that can accommodate items. At this time, the cup holder and the rotating assembly 2 are both located in the receiving cavity 14. It should be noted that, as needed, one or two cup holders can be provided in the receiving cavity 14.

[0076] See Figure 4 , Figure 6 The top edge of the base 11 is provided with a first arc-shaped groove 111 to be adapted and connected to the arc-shaped protrusion 131 at the bottom of the housing 13. In order to facilitate installation and prevent foreign objects from entering the housing 1 and improve service life, the top edge of the base 11 is provided with a groove 112, and the groove 112 is located inside the first arc-shaped groove 111. The outer side wall of the bottom of the rotating kit 2 is located in the groove 112.

[0077] See Figures 1-3 A cup holder also includes a clamping member 3; the rotating assembly 2 drives the clamping member 3 into the cup holder within the rotation range to prevent the clamping member 3 from being squeezed and to improve its service life.

[0078] See Figure 2 , Figure 5 It should be noted that when the rotating assembly 2 and the first enclosure 12 are combined to form a cup holder, the clamping member 3 is automatically ejected into the cup holder under the drive of the rotating assembly 2. At this time, the clamping member 3 and the rotating assembly 2 are combined to form a new cup holder space, so as to firmly hold the items (e.g., cups, beverage bottles, etc.) placed in the cup holder, and can adapt to items with different outer diameters.

[0079] See Figure 5 For example, the longitudinal cross-sectional shape formed by the first enclosure 12 and the base 11 is L-shaped; the clamping member 3 is provided on the outer side wall of the first enclosure 12.

[0080] See Figures 7-9In the specific implementation process, the rotating kit 2 includes a rotating enclosure component 21 and a linkage component 22; the rotating enclosure component 21 is configured to rotate around the base 11; the rotating enclosure component 21 and the first enclosure component 12 enclose each other to form a cup holder within at least one rotation range; the rotating enclosure component 21 drives the clamping component 3 to extend into the cup holder through the linkage component 22 within the rotation range.

[0081] See Figures 1-3 , Figures 7-9 For example, the rotating enclosure assembly 21 is housed in the receiving cavity 14. Driven by the linkage assembly 22, the rotating enclosure assembly 21 is raised and rotated horizontally to form a cup holder with the first enclosure member 12. During this process, the first linkage assembly 22 drives the clamping member 3 to move horizontally, causing the upper part of the clamping member 3 to automatically extend into the cup holder. Under external force, the rotating enclosure assembly 21 rotates and stacks on the base 11, and is then fixed by the button 132 on the outer shell 13, thereby closing the cup holder and allowing the clamping member 3 to retract from the cup holder and hide outside the receiving cavity 14. It should be noted that the longitudinal section of the rotating enclosure assembly 21 is L-shaped.

[0082] The clamping member 3 automatically pops out to hold the item in the cup holder. That is, when the cup holder is not needed, the rotating enclosure assembly 21 is stacked on the base 11 and fixed by the button 132. When the cup holder is needed, the button 132 is pressed, so that the rotating enclosure assembly 21 is released from the control of the button 132 and automatically rises and rotates horizontally under the drive of the linkage assembly 22 to form a cup holder with the base 11. At this time, the clamping member 3 automatically extends from the opening on the first enclosure member 12 to fix the item (such as a cup or beverage bottle) together with the rotating enclosure assembly 21. At this time, the clamping member 3 can automatically adjust the size of the space formed between itself and the first enclosure member 12 according to the diameter of the item.

[0083] When the cup holder is not needed, the rotating enclosure component 21 can be rotated to its initial position by external force (e.g., manually) and then the button 132 can be pressed again to fix the rotating enclosure component 213.

[0084] It should be noted that at least one cup holder can be provided in the receiving cavity 14 as needed, and one cup holder corresponds to one of the rotating components 2, one of the housings 1, and at least one of the clamping members 3 (such as...). Figures 1-4 ).

[0085] See Figure 8 , Figure 9In the specific implementation process, the rotating enclosure component 21 includes a rotating base 211 and a second enclosure component 212; the rotating base 211 rotates above the base 11 through the linkage component 22; the rotating base 211 drives the clamping component 3 to extend into the cup holder through the linkage component 22 within the rotation range; the second enclosure component 212 is deployed around the rotating base 211; the second enclosure component 212 and the first enclosure component 12 enclose each other to form a cup holder within at least one rotation range.

[0086] For example, the longitudinal section structure formed by the rotating base 211 and the second enclosure 212 is L-shaped, that is, the rotating base 211 is coaxially disposed above the base 11; when the cup holder is not needed, the second enclosure 212 is fixed by the button 132. At this time, the second enclosure 212 is parallel to the first enclosure 12. Furthermore, there is a gap between the second enclosure 212 and the first enclosure 12.

[0087] See Figure 2 , Figure 7 It should be noted that when the rotating enclosure component 21 rotates and forms a cup holder with the first enclosure component 12, the rotating base 211 is still parallel to the upper part of the base 11. That is, when the rotating enclosure component 21 rotates, it rotates along the circumferential direction of the base 11.

[0088] See Figures 1-3 , Figure 7 For example, the outer edge of the upper part of the second enclosure 212 is provided with a stop 2121 that abuts against the button 132 to prevent the rotating enclosure assembly 21 from rotating along the outer shell 13.

[0089] See Figure 7 For example, the button 132 is a push-button type, and a protruding locking member 1321 is provided on the side of the button 132 to fit and abut against the stop member 2121 to prevent the rotating enclosure assembly 21 from rotating along the outer shell 13.

[0090] The button 132 includes a button cap, a button rod, and a housing (not labeled in the figure), and a compression spring is sleeved on the button rod, with a locking member 1321 provided on the housing.

[0091] See Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 9In the specific implementation process, the linkage component 22 includes a first elastic release member 221, a driving member 222, and a limiting member 223; the first elastic release member 221 is press-fitted between the base 11 and the rotating base; the first elastic release member 221 drives the rotating base 211 to rotate; the driving member 222 is configured along the bottom end surface of the rotating base 211 to drive the clamping member 3 to extend into the cup holder; the limiting member 223 is configured along the bottom end surface of the rotating base 211 to limit the rotation stroke of the rotating base 211.

[0092] See Figure 5 , Figure 7 For example, the base 11 is constructed with a downward recess in the middle to form a space for accommodating the limiting member 223 and the first elastic release member 221; the center of the upper end face of the base 11 is provided with a protrusion 113, and the protrusion 113 is a hollow structure; the center of the lower end face of the rotating base 211 is provided with a rotating shaft 224, and the rotating shaft 224 is a hollow structure with an opening facing downward and is coaxial with the rotating base 211, for inserting into the protrusion 113 and sleeve the first elastic release member 221 inside the rotating shaft 224, and there is a gap between the outer edge of the rotating shaft 224 and the inner wall of the protrusion 113, so that when the rotating base 211 rotates, the rotating shaft 224 rotates along the protrusion 113. For example, the first elastic release member 221 is a torsion spring. Therefore, the rotation of the rotating enclosure assembly 21 around the rotating shaft 224 is controlled by the torque of the first elastic release member 221. For example, the fixed end of the first elastic release member 221 is fixed in the base 11, the free end extends out of the rotating enclosure assembly 21, and the position of the free end is higher than the position of the fixed end.

[0093] For example, the rotating shaft 224 has a central frame (not labeled in the figure), and the first elastic release member 221 is wrapped around the central frame; at this time, the outer wall of the first elastic release member 221 abuts against the inner wall of the rotating shaft 224.

[0094] See Figure 8 , Figure 9For example, the limiting member 223 may include an arc-shaped limiting strip 2231, a vertical limiting block 2232, and a protrusion 2233. The arc-shaped limiting strip 2231 has one high end and one low end, and the high end is connected to the vertical limiting block 2232. The arc-shaped limiting strip 2231 and the vertical limiting block 2232 are disposed on the bottom end surface of the rotating base 11, and the protrusion 2233 is disposed on the upper end surface of the base 11, so that the protrusion 2233 first moves through the low end of the arc-shaped limiting strip 2231 to the rotation stroke of the high rotating enclosure assembly 21. In this process, a process of deceleration and then stopping is realized. To improve stability, the rotating base 211 is also provided with a limiting member 223 of another structure. The limiting member 223 is composed of two arc-shaped limiting strips 2231, and the two arc-shaped limiting strips 2231 are connected at one height. It can be noted that the base 11 is provided with two protrusions 2233. When it is a cup holder, one protrusion 2233 is abutted against the side wall of the vertical limiting block 2232, and the top of the other protrusion 2233 abuts against the end face of the higher end of the arc-shaped limiting strip 2231.

[0095] The rotating enclosure assembly 21 is pushed to rotate around the center of the cup holder by the torque of the first elastic release member 221. The rotation stroke of the rotating enclosure assembly 21 is controlled by the protrusion 2233. During this process, the clamping member 3 moves laterally to one side of the housing 1, so that the bottom of the clamping member 3 abuts against the outer wall of the rotating base 211. The upper part of the clamping member 3 rotates to automatically extend into the receiving cavity 14. It should be noted that there is a gap between the outer wall of the rotating base 211 and the outer wall of the base 11.

[0096] See Figure 5 In a specific implementation, the linkage assembly 22 further includes a brake element 225; the brake element 225 is mounted on the upper end face of the base 11; the brake element 225 is configured to mesh and transmit power with the drive element 222. For example, the brake element 225 is a damper, therefore, the gear on the damper meshes and transmits power with the drive element 222, which guides the rotating enclosure assembly 21 while reducing the rotational speed of the rotating enclosure assembly 21.

[0097] See Figure 8 , Figure 9 Furthermore, the driving component 222 includes a first arc-shaped segment 2221 and a curved segment 2222; the first arc-shaped segment 2221 and the curved segment 2222 are connected end-to-end to form an irregular circle; the inner sidewall of the first arc-shaped segment 2221 is provided with internal teeth 2223 that mesh with the driving component 222 for transmission. The height of the driving component 222 is less than the height of the rotating shaft 224.

[0098] For example, the curved segment 2222 includes a second arc segment 2222a, a smooth segment 2222b, and a third arc segment 2222c; the first arc segment 2221, the second arc segment 2222a, and the smooth segment 2222b are sequentially connected to form an irregular circle; the first arc segment 2221 is provided with internal teeth 2223 throughout its entire arc, that is, the driving member 222 is engaged with the first arc segment 2221. When the cup holder is in the closed state, the bottom end face of the clamping member 3 abuts against the outer wall of the first arc segment 2221; one end of the first arc segment 2221 is concave inward toward the center and connects with the second arc segment 2222a; when the cup holder is in the open state, the bottom end face of the clamping member 3 abuts against the node of the first arc segment 2221 and the second arc segment 2222a.

[0099] See Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 It should be noted that, to improve the stability of the cup holder, at least one clamping member 3 should be provided. For example, when two clamping members 3 are provided, the bottom end face of one clamping member 3 abuts against the node between the first arc segment 2221 and the second arc segment 2222a (see...). Figure 9 The bottom end face of the other clamping member 3 abuts against the outer wall of the smooth segment 2222b (see) Figure 9 It should be noted that one end of the third arc segment 2222c is connected to the outer side of the junction of the first arc segment 2221 and the smooth segment 2222b, and the other end of the third arc segment 2222c is connected to the outer wall of the second arc segment 2222a and is located on the side away from the node of the first arc segment 2221 and the second arc segment 2222a. At this time, the smooth segment 2222b is located inside the third arc segment 2222c. Meanwhile, the height of the third arc segment 2222c is less than the height of the smooth segment 2222b, and the bottom of the clamping member 3 corresponding to the smooth segment 2222b is located below the bottom surface of the third arc segment 2222c.

[0100] For example, the first arc segment 2221, the second arc segment 2222a, and the smooth segment 2222b have the same height.

[0101] In a specific embodiment, the clamping member 3 is configured to move horizontally along the housing 1, that is, the clamping member 3 extends into or retracts into the cup holder by horizontal lateral movement.

[0102] See Figure 11 , Figure 13For example, the clamping member 3 is constructed with a clamping body 31 and a second elastic release member 32 deployed on the clamping body 31; the clamping body 31 moves horizontally along the housing 1 and extends into the cup holder under the drive of the rotating kit 2; the second elastic release member 32 controls the length of the clamping body 31 extending into the cup holder.

[0103] See Figures 8-10 To improve lifespan and enhance aesthetics, the clamping member 3 is fitted with a clamping sleeve 33, which is fixed to the outside of the first enclosure member 12. For example, it can be fixed to the outer wall of the first enclosure member 12 by screws.

[0104] See Figure 10 , Figure 11 For example, the clamping body 31 includes a claw base 311, a compression spring 312, and a clamping block 313; the lower part of the claw base 311 extends horizontally to the lower part of the housing 1 to face the outer side wall of the rotating base 211, and one end of the compression spring 312 is horizontally sleeved on the protruding abutment post 314 at the lower part of the claw base 311, and the other end of the compression spring 312 abuts against the inner wall of the clamping sleeve 33, and the lateral movement of the claw base 311 is controlled by the elastic deformation of the compression spring 312.

[0105] See Figure 12 For example, the claw base 311 includes a plug rod 3111, a connecting rod 3112, and a Z-shaped bottom rod 3113 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The upper part of the connecting rod 3112 is bent towards the housing 1 and connected to the bottom end of the plug rod 3111. The lower end of the connecting rod 3112 is connected to the side end face of the upper horizontal side of the Z-shaped bottom rod 3113. The side end face of the lower horizontal side of the Z-shaped bottom rod 3113 abuts against the outer wall of the rotating base 211. The abutment post 314 is horizontally arranged on the lower horizontal side of the Z-shaped bottom rod 3113 at one end away from the rotating base 211.

[0106] The upper part of the claw base 311 is connected to the lower part of the locking block 313. During the lateral movement of the claw base 311, the torque of the second elastic release member 32 controls the automatic extension or retraction of the locking block 313. For example, if the second elastic release member 32 is a torsion spring, the movement of the locking block 313 is controlled by the torque of the torsion spring.

[0107] refer to Figures 11-13For example, the clamping member 3 further includes a rotating shaft 34, the lower part of the locking block 313 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 34, and both ends of the rotating shaft 34 are fixed to the clamping sleeve 33; the second elastic release member 32 is provided on the rotating shaft 34; the upper part of the claw base 311 is inserted into the slot 3131 of the lower part of the locking block 313, and the rotating shaft 34 is located at the lower part of the slot 3131, that is, the upper part of the connecting rod 3112 extends into the slot 3131 of the lower part of the locking block 313, and the upper part of the insert rod 3111 extends out of the slot 3131 and abuts against the inner sidewall of the lower part of the locking block 313. It should be noted that at this time, the bottom of the locking block 313 is provided with a sleeve 3132 to be sleeved on the rotating shaft 34, and the slot 3131 is located at the upper part of the sleeve 3132.

[0108] See Figure 11 , Figure 13 For example, the two ends of the second elastic release member 32 are respectively wrapped and fixed to both sides of the axial direction of the rotating shaft 34, and the middle part of the second elastic release member 32 is n-shaped, and the horizontal bar of the n-shaped member presses against the end of the locking block 313 away from the first enclosure member 12. The vertical bar of the n-shaped member is inclined and the lower end is located on the side of the rotating shaft 34 close to the first enclosure member 12. The torque of the second elastic release member 32 controls the locking head 3133 on the upper part of the locking block 313 to extend into or hide in the receiving cavity 14, so as to fix the items (e.g., cups or beverage bottles) in the cup holder together with the second enclosure member 212.

[0109] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0110] When there is no need to fix items (e.g., cups or beverage bottles), the Z-shaped bottom rod 3113 abuts against the outer wall of the first arc segment 2221, the second enclosure member 212 is arranged parallel to the first enclosure member 12 at intervals, and the locking member 1321 is adapted to abut against the stop member 2121 to prevent the rotating enclosure assembly 21 from rotating, while the first elastic release member 221 is pressed by the rotating base 11;

[0111] When the cup holder needs to be opened, after pressing the button 132, the locking member 1321 separates from the stop member 2121. At this time, the rotating enclosure assembly 21 is lifted and rotated under the torque of the first elastic release member 221 until the protrusion 2233 abuts against the limiting member 223 (this process causes the clamping member 3 to move laterally towards the rotating enclosure assembly 21), thus limiting the rotational stroke of the rotating enclosure assembly 21 and stopping the rotation. At this time, the Z-shaped bottom rod 3113 abuts against the node between the first arc segment 2221 and the second arc segment 2222a; due to the combined action of the clamping member 3, the second elastic release member 32, and the claw base 311, the rotation stops. The cup holder automatically extends into the cup holder under force. At this time, the diameter of the circle formed between the clamping head 3133 and the second enclosure 212 can be adaptively changed according to the diameter of the item to be placed. That is, if the diameter of the cup to be placed is larger than the diameter of the circle formed between the clamping head 3133 and the second enclosure 212, the outer wall of the cup will exert a horizontal pushing force on the clamping head 3133 after the cup is placed, causing the clamping head 3133 to move laterally along the outside of the first enclosure 12 (during this process, while the sleeve 3132 rotates outward along the rotation axis 34, the middle n-shaped part of the second elastic release member 32 is also subjected to the pushing force of the clamping head 3133).

[0112] To improve stability and facilitate the movement of the clamping head 3133, the longitudinal section structure of the clamping body 31 extending into the cup holder is >-shaped, that is, the longitudinal section structure of the clamping head 3133 facing the end of the first enclosure member 12 is >-shaped.

[0113] This embodiment features a simple structure that is not easily damaged during movement, thus extending the structure's service life, while also enabling the automatic insertion and concealment of the clamping component 3.
