[0002] In related technologies, vehicle armrest boxes typically have a cup holder. To accommodate cups of different sizes, retractable latches are installed on the side wall of the cup holder to secure it and prevent it from shifting while the vehicle is in motion. The latches require a reset mechanism to return to their original position. However, if a passenger applies excessive force to the latches, such as forcefully placing a cup into the cup holder or manually pushing the latches, the reset mechanism may malfunction. This can cause the latches to fail to reset and lose their function of securing the cup. In more serious cases, the latches may even detach or break. Utility Model Content

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0032] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.
[0033] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the positions in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings.
[0034] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.
[0035] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.
[0036] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.
[0037] This application provides a vehicle embodiment. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to large vehicles, small vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. For vehicles, the armrest box generally has a cavity for holding a water cup. To accommodate water cups of different sizes, a retractable latch is provided on the side wall of the cavity to fix water cups of different sizes inside the cavity and prevent the water cup from shaking while the vehicle is in motion. The latch needs a reset component to reset. However, when a passenger applies excessive external force to the latch, such as forcefully placing a water cup into the cavity or manually pushing the latch, the reset component may fail to function, causing the latch to lose its function of fixing the water cup. Even worse, the latch may detach or break.
[0038] Based on this, this application provides a vehicle-mounted cup holder 10, which includes a housing 1 and a movable component 2. The movable component 2 includes a movable member 21 and a resetting member. A receiving cavity 11 is formed inside the housing 1 for placing a water cup, and the opening of the receiving cavity 11 faces upward. A through hole 12 is provided on the wall of the housing 1, which communicates with the receiving cavity 11. The movable member 21 is movably installed in the through hole 12 and can move into the receiving cavity 11 through the through hole 12 to limit the water cup in the receiving cavity 11 and prevent the water cup from shaking when the vehicle is running. The movable member 21 can also move outward from the receiving cavity 11 through the through hole 12. When the water cup used by the passenger is large, the water cup will drive the movable member 21 to move outward from the receiving cavity 11 to fix the large water cup.
[0039] For example, a silicone pad 13 is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity 11. The silicone pad 13 has high elasticity and softness, which can provide good cushioning performance for the water cup placed in the receiving cavity 11.
[0040] In the direction of movement of the movable member 21, the movable member 21 has a first position extending into the receiving cavity 11 and a second position extending out of the receiving cavity 11 through the through hole 12. The reset member is used to keep the movable member 21 in the first position. When a water cup is placed into the receiving cavity 11, the water cup drives the movable member 21 to move from the first position to the second position. The movable member 21 extends out of the receiving cavity 11 through the through hole 12. After the water cup is placed, the reset member drives the movable member 21 to move towards the first position. The movable member 21 extends into the receiving cavity 11 through the through hole 12, so that the movable member 21 can fix the water cup.
[0041] The in-vehicle cup holder 10 also includes a limiting member. In the direction of movement of the movable member 21, the limiting member is set between the first position and the second position to limit the amount of movement of the movable member 21 from the first position to the second position. This prevents the movable member 21 from moving beyond the second position under excessive force, which could lead to failure of the reset member or detachment or breakage of the movable member 21.
[0042] For example, the limiting member can be provided with a baffle, which is set between the first position and the second position. When the movable member 21 moves from the first position to the second position, the baffle can prevent the movable member 21 from continuing to move towards the second position, thereby limiting the movement position of the movable member 21.
[0043] The vehicle cup holder 10 provided in this application embodiment has a movable member 21 that is movably installed in a through hole 12. The movable member 21 has a first position that extends into the receiving cavity 11 and a second position that extends out of the receiving cavity 11 from the through hole 12. A limiting member is disposed between the first position and the second position to limit the amount of movement of the movable member 21 from the first position to the second position, so as to avoid the movable member 21 from moving too much under excessive force, which would cause the reset member to fail or the movable member 21 to fall off or break.
[0044] Reference Figures 3-5 In one possible implementation of this application, the vehicle cup holder 10 further includes a mounting bracket 3, which is connected to the outside of the housing 1. The movable component 2 is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 3. Specifically, the movable component 21 is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 3, and the limiting component is a limiting channel 311 provided on the mounting bracket 3. The mounting bracket 3 can provide an installation position for the movable component 2, and a limiting component can be provided on the mounting bracket 3.
[0045] The movable member 21 includes a limiting shaft 213, which is movably located within a limiting channel 311. The limiting channel 311 extends along the movable member 21 in a direction from the first position to the second position. That is, the limiting shaft 213 can move within the limiting channel 311 in a direction from the first position to the second position. The limiting channel 311 has a sidewall disposed away from the receiving cavity 11. The sidewall is used to limit the amount of movement of the limiting shaft 213 from the first position to the second position, making the limiting method of the limiting member simple.
[0046] Reference Figures 3-5 In one possible implementation of this application, the movable component 21 includes a movable plate 211 and a latch 212. A limiting shaft 213 is connected to the movable plate 211 and is connected to the side of the movable plate 211 facing the limiting channel 311. The latch 212 is connected to the side of the movable plate 211 near the receiving cavity 11 and can be movably extended into the receiving cavity 11 through the through hole 12.
[0047] One end of the movable plate 211 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 3, that is, the movable plate 211 can rotate relative to the mounting bracket 3. In the rotation direction of the movable plate 211, the movable part 21 can move from the first position toward the second position, or from the second position toward the first position.
[0048] When a water cup is placed into the receiving cavity 11, the water cup drives the latch 212 to move towards the second position. At the same time, the movable plate 211 rotates relative to the mounting bracket 3 and also moves towards the second position. The limiting shaft 213 moves towards the second position within the limiting channel 311. After the limiting shaft 213 moves to the side wall of the limiting channel 311 away from the receiving cavity 11, the limiting shaft 213 stops moving. At this time, both the movable plate 211 and the latch 212 stop rotating. Under the action of the reset member, the movable plate 211 drives the latch 212 to move towards the first position so that the latch 212 clamps the water cup, and the movable member 21 stops rotating.
[0049] Reference Figure 4 In one possible implementation of this application, the side of the latch 212 facing the receiving cavity 11 is an arc-shaped surface. When placing a water cup, the arc-shaped surface guides the placement of the water cup, and the water cup can drive the arc-shaped surface to move outward from the receiving cavity 11.
[0050] For example, the movable plate 211 is a square plate with a hollow center. The upper and lower ends of the latch 212 are connected to the hollow side wall of the movable plate 211. The center of the latch 212 protrudes towards the receiving cavity 11 to form a ">" shape, which can save the material of the movable part 21 and also make the processing cost of the movable part 21 lower.
[0051] Reference Figures 4-10 In one possible implementation of this application, the movable component 21 further includes a mounting shaft 214 connected to the movable plate 211. The mounting shaft 214 can be connected to the upper end of the movable plate 211. The mounting bracket 3 has a mounting hole 312, and the mounting shaft 214 is rotatably located within the mounting hole 312. The reset component includes a torsion spring 22, which is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 214. The movable component 21 is reset by the torsion spring 22, which simplifies the reset method of the movable component 21.
[0052] In a specific example, refer to Figures 6-10 , Figures 6-8In the diagram, a, b, and c represent the three positions of the movable component 21. c indicates that the movable component 21 is in the first position; b indicates that the movable component 21 moves towards the second position; a indicates that the movable component 21 is located on the side wall of the limiting channel 311 away from the receiving cavity 11; and both a and b indicate that the movable component 21 is located between the first and second positions. When the movable component 21 is subjected to an external force, it moves from the first position towards the second position, i.e., from... Figure 6 The moving part 21 moves from position c to position a via position b. When it moves to position a, the side wall of the limiting channel 311 away from the receiving cavity 11 limits the limiting shaft 213, preventing the moving part 21 from continuing to move towards the second position, thus avoiding the problem of the mounting shaft 214 breaking or falling off.
[0053] Reference Figures 1-2 In one possible implementation of this application, there are two mounting shafts 214, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the movable plate 211 to form a gap space 215 between the two mounting shafts 214. The torsion spring 22 is adapted to be sleeved on the two mounting shafts 214 through the gap space 215, which facilitates the assembly of the torsion spring 22.
[0054] In a specific example, the torsion spring 22 also includes a torsion spring body, a first torsion arm and a second torsion arm. The first torsion arm and the second torsion arm are respectively connected to the two ends of the torsion spring body. The two ends of the torsion spring body are respectively sleeved on the two ends of the two mounting shafts 214. The first torsion arm and the second torsion arm are both located between the movable plate 211 and the side wall of the housing 1. When the movable part 21 needs to be reset, the first torsion arm and the second torsion arm generate opposite forces, causing the movable part 21 to move in the direction of the first position.
[0055] Reference Figures 3-5 In one possible implementation of this application, the mounting bracket 3 includes two mounting plates 31. The upper end of the mounting plate 31 is connected to the upper end of the housing 1, and the side of the mounting plate 31 is connected to the side wall of the housing 1. The movable component 2 is located between the two mounting plates 31. Each mounting plate 31 has a limiting channel 311 and a mounting hole 312, and the two limiting channels 311 are arranged opposite to each other, as are the two mounting holes 312. Correspondingly, the movable component 21 is provided with two mounting shafts 214 and two limiting shafts 213. By integrating the mounting bracket 3 onto the housing 1 and designing the mounting bracket 3 as a structure of two mounting plates 31, the processing of the mounting bracket 3 can be facilitated, while the structural strength of the housing 1 is increased.
[0056] Reference Figure 4 In one possible implementation of this application, the movable part 21 is a one-piece molded part with no connecting gaps, which can make the movable part 21 have higher structural strength and lower processing cost.
[0057] For example, the movable part 21 is a one-piece molded plastic part, and the movable part 21 is molded out as a whole by injection molding.
[0058] Reference Figures 1-2 In one possible implementation of this application, multiple movable components 2 and limiting members are provided. The multiple movable components 2 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the housing 1, and correspondingly, multiple limiting members are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the housing 1. The multiple movable components 2 can limit the water cup in the circumference of the water cup, further improving the firmness of the movable components 2 in restricting the water cup. Each movable component 2 is provided with a limiting member, which can limit each movable component 21.
[0059] For example, three, four, or five movable components 2 and limiting members can be arranged in the circumferential direction of the housing 1.
[0060] In a specific example, two spaced-apart cavities 11 can be formed inside the housing 1. Each cavity 11 has multiple movable components 2 and limiting members in the circumferential direction, and the number of such components is equal.
[0061] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle, including: a vehicle-mounted cup holder 10.
[0062] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment includes the in-vehicle cup holder 10 provided in any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and therefore has the same technical effect, that is, the limiting member is used to limit the amount of movement of the movable member 21 from the first position to the second position, so as to avoid the situation where the amount of movement of the movable member 21 is too large under excessive force, resulting in the failure of the reset member or the movable member 21 falling off or breaking.
[0063] The sequence numbers of the embodiments in this application are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
