[0048] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0049] The following combination Figures 1 to 7 The present application provides a detailed description of a cup holder 100, a secondary instrument panel, and a vehicle, as provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cup holder 100 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 This is a side view of the cup holder 100 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of AA. In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a cup holder 100. The cup holder 100 includes a sleeve 10, a tray 20, and an adjusting member 70. The sleeve 10 has an opening 11. The tray 20 is located within the sleeve 10. The adjusting member 70 is disposed within the sleeve 10 and located on the side of the tray 20 away from the opening 11. The adjusting member 70 includes at least two threaded members 30. The at least two threaded members 30 are sequentially threaded along the radial direction of the sleeve 10. One of the innermost threaded member 30 and the outermost threaded member 30 is a power output member 42, and the other is a power input member 41. The power output member 42 is connected to the tray 20 and slides along the axis of the sleeve 10. The power input member 41 is configured to rotate under the action of a force to drive the power output member 42 to move along the axis of the sleeve 10.

[0051] It can be understood that the aforementioned at least two threaded components 30 are sequentially threaded along the radial direction of the sleeve 10. Specifically, this means that multiple threaded components 30 are sequentially fitted outward from the center of the sleeve 10, and two radially adjacent threaded components 30 are threaded together. The innermost threaded component 30 can be a power input component 41, rotating under force to drive the threaded component 30 (power output component 42) to move along the axis of the sleeve 10. Simultaneously, the outermost threaded component 30 is a power output component 42, connecting to the tray 20 and slidingly engaging with the sleeve 10 along its axis. Alternatively, the outermost threaded component 30 can be a power input component 41, rotating under force to drive the threaded component 30 (power output component 42) to move along the axis of the sleeve 10. Simultaneously, the innermost threaded component 30 is a power output component 42, connecting to the tray 20 and slidingly engaging with the sleeve 10 along its axis.

[0052] It can be understood that the opening 11 is a channel for the passage of an item into the sleeve 10.

[0053] In use, one end of an item such as a water cup can be inserted into the sleeve 10 through the opening 11 and placed on the tray 20. Depending on the height of the item placed on the tray 20, the threaded component 30, which serves as the power input element 41, rotates around a first direction (which can be clockwise or counterclockwise). Since two radially adjacent threaded components 30 are threadedly engaged with each other, and the threaded component 30, which serves as the power output element 42, slides with the sleeve 10, the threads on the threaded component 30, which serves as the power output element 42, are pushed by the threads of the other threaded components 30 as they rotate, causing the threaded component 30, which serves as the power output element 42, to move away from the opening 11. This increases the distance between the opening 11 and the tray 20, that is, increases the depth of the space in the cup holder 100 for accommodating items, thereby reducing the height of the item exceeding the opening 11.

[0054] Depending on the specific scenario, the item can be partially positioned outside the sleeve 10, allowing the user to directly access it from this external location. Alternatively, the entire item can be housed within the sleeve 10. When retrieving the item, the threaded component 30, which serves as the power input element 41, rotates in a second direction (opposite to the first direction). As the other threaded components 30 rotate, the threads on the threaded component 30, which serves as the power output element 42, are pushed by the threads of the other threaded components 30, causing the threaded component 30 to move towards the opening 11, thus pushing the item out of the opening 11 and facilitating access for the user from the external location of the item.

[0055] When the cup holder 100 is not in use, the threaded part 30, which serves as the power input part 41, can rotate in the second direction, making the tray 20 flush with the outer surface of the formed opening 11 of the cylinder 12. The tray 20 can then close the opening 11, thereby improving the integrity of the surface on the vehicle where the cup holder 100 structure is located and preventing dust and other contaminants from entering the sleeve 10. It can be understood that the tray 20 and the sleeve 10 have a clearance fit or a transition fit to improve the coverage of the opening 11 by the tray 20.

[0056] It is understood that the rotation of the threaded part 30 of the power input component 41 can be manually driven, or a motor 62 can be configured to drive the threaded part 30 of the power input component 41 to rotate, thereby moving the tray 20 and adjusting the depth of the cup holder 100. When configuring the motor 62, a sensor 61 can also be configured, allowing the cup holder 100 to automatically rise and fall by the passenger's operation signal or trigger signal related to placing / removing the cup.

[0057] In this embodiment, by setting at least two threaded parts 30 for adjusting the height of the tray 20, the height of the tray 20 can be adjusted according to the height of the corresponding item, thereby adjusting the depth of the cup holder 100. This improves the compatibility of the cup holder 100 with items of different depths and controls the items to protrude significantly beyond the dashboard from the cup holder 100, thus avoiding interference between the driver's arm and the items placed in the cup holder 100 and improving the driver's driving comfort.

[0058] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the outermost threaded member 30 is a power output member 42, and the innermost threaded member 30 is a power input member 41.

[0059] It is understandable that among all the threaded parts 30, the outermost threaded part 30 has the largest diameter. Therefore, connecting the threaded part 30 with the largest diameter to the tray 20 increases the connection area between the threaded part 30 and the tray 20, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the threaded part 30 and the tray 20.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the engagement of the threaded component 30 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. In some embodiments, there are three threaded components 30. The three threaded components 30 are a first threaded component 31, a second threaded component 32, and a third threaded component 33. Along the radial direction of the sleeve 10 from the outside to the inside, the third threaded component 33, the second threaded component 32, and the first threaded component 31 are sequentially threaded together. The third threaded component 33 is connected to the tray 20 and slides in engagement with the sleeve 10. The first threaded component 31 is configured to rotate under the action of force to drive the second threaded component 32 and the third threaded component 33 to move along the axis of the sleeve 10, and to drive the second threaded component 32 to rotate synchronously after the second threaded component 32 moves to its limit position, so as to drive the third threaded component 33 to continue to move along the axis of the sleeve 10.

[0061] It is understandable that the second screw 32 has two extreme positions. The first extreme position of the second screw 32 is when the second screw 32 moves to the position furthest from the opening 11, and the second extreme position of the second screw 32 is when the second screw 32 moves to the position closest to the opening 11.

[0062] When no cup is placed, the tray 20 is flush with the outer surface of the formed opening 11 of the sleeve 10. When a passenger needs to place a cup, they simply place it on the tray 20. Then, the first screw 31 of the power input component 41 rotates. The first screw 31 rotates along the thread between the first screw 31 and the second screw 32 in the first direction, thereby driving the second screw 32, the third screw 33, the tray 20, and the cup to move downwards together. This continues until the second screw 32 reaches its furthest position from the opening 11 (i.e., the first extreme position of the second screw 32). The first screw 31 and the second screw 32 then rotate synchronously to drive the third screw 33 to move further downwards. The tray 20 can be stopped at a desired position to allow the first screw 31 to stop rotating, depending on the actual situation.

[0063] When a passenger needs to remove their water cup, the first screw 31 rotates along the interlocking threads between the first screw 31 and the second screw 32 in a second direction, thereby causing the second screw 32, the third screw 33, the tray 20, and the water cup to move upwards together. This continues until the second screw 32 reaches its closest position to the opening 11 (i.e., the second extreme position of the second screw 32). The first screw 31 and the second screw 32 then rotate synchronously, causing the third screw 33 to move further upwards. The tray 20 can be positioned to stop the rotation of the first screw 31 as needed.

[0064] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned settings can make the cup holder 100 have a large adjustable depth to improve the compatibility of the cup holder 100 with items of different depths, and can also make the structure of the cup holder 100 relatively simple, so as to improve the assembly efficiency of the cup holder 100 and improve the economy of the cup holder 100.

[0065] Regarding the limitation on the axial mobility of the second screw 32 relative to the first screw 31, the following solution can be adopted. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 4 In some embodiments, an annular groove 313 and a first thread 311 for threaded connection with the second screw 32 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first screw 31. The first thread 311 is located on the side of the annular groove 313 near the tray 20. A first stop block 321 is provided at the end of the inner peripheral surface of the second screw 32 away from the tray 20. The first stop block 321 is located within the annular groove 313. The first stop block 321 is configured to move along the axis of the sleeve 10 to contact the two side walls of the annular groove 313.

[0066] It is understandable that when the first stop block 321 contacts the groove sidewall of the annular groove 313 near the tray 20, the second screw 32 moves to the position closest to the opening 11. When the first stop block 321 contacts the groove sidewall of the annular groove 313 away from the tray 20, the second screw 32 moves to the position furthest from the opening 11, and in this state, the second screw 32 rotates synchronously with the first screw 31.

[0067] In this embodiment, by providing an annular groove 313 and a first stop block 321 located within the annular groove 313, the axial movement stroke of the first stop block 321 is limited by the annular groove 313, thereby restricting the movable groove of the second screw 32 relative to the first screw 31. This allows the second screw 32 to contact the groove sidewall of the annular groove 313 away from the tray 20 via the first stop block 321, improving the synchronization of the second screw 32 with the first screw 31. Simultaneously, the first stop block 321 contacts the groove sidewall of the annular groove 313 near the tray 20, preventing the second screw 32 from detaching from the first screw 31. This improves the reliability of the cup holder 100.

[0068] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, a first stop 314 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first screw 31, and the surface of the first stop 314 facing the tray 20 is the groove sidewall of the annular groove 313 away from the tray 20. When the second screw 32 moves to its closest position to the opening 11, the first stop 321 contacts the groove sidewall of the annular groove 313 near the tray 20; when the second screw 32 moves to its farthest position from the opening 11, the first stop 321 contacts the surface of the first stop 314 facing the tray 20. Thus, when engaging the second screw 32 with the first screw 31, the end of the first screw 31 away from the tray 20 is first inserted into the second screw 32 until the first stop 321 is located within the annular groove 313. Then, the first stop 314 is installed on the first screw 31, thereby limiting the movement of the first stop 321. In this way, an annular groove 313 for limiting the first stop block 321 can be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first screw 31, which can improve the ease of assembly of the first screw 31 and the second screw 32, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the cup holder 100.

[0069] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first stop 314 is detachably connected to the first screw 31. Specifically, the first stop 314 is connected to the first screw 31 by a screw 50. This improves the operability of the connection between the first stop 314 and the first screw 31, as well as its maintainability.

[0070] Please see Figure 4In some embodiments, the first stop 314 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the first screw 31. This increases the contact area between the first stop 314 and the first stop block 321, thereby improving the synchronization of the first screw 31 and the second screw 32, and also improves the structural symmetry of the cup holder 100, thereby improving the stress state.

[0071] For example, the first stop block 321 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the second screw 32.

[0072] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, a first stepped groove 323 is provided at the end of the outer peripheral surface of the second screw 32 away from the tray 20. The first stepped groove 323 extends annularly around the axis of the sleeve 10. The second thread 322, which is threaded to the third screw 33, is located on the side of the first stepped groove 323 near the tray 20. A second stop 331 is provided at the end of the inner peripheral surface of the third screw 33 away from the tray 20. The second stop 331 is located within the first stepped groove 323. The second stop 331 is configured to move along the axis of the sleeve 10 to contact the side wall of the first stepped groove 323 near the tray 20.

[0073] It is understandable that when the second stop block 331 contacts the side wall of the first stepped groove 323 near the tray 20, the third screw 33 moves to the position closest to the opening 11. When the end of the second stop block 331 and / or the third screw 33 away from the tray contacts the bottom wall of the sleeve 10, the third screw 33 moves to the position furthest from the opening 11.

[0074] In this embodiment, by providing a stepped groove and a second stop 331 located within the stepped groove, the axial movement stroke of the second stop 331 is limited by the stepped groove, thereby restricting the movable groove of the third screw 33 relative to the second screw 32. This allows the third screw 33 to contact the side wall of the stepped groove near the tray 20 via the second stop 331, preventing the second screw 32 from dislodging from the first screw 31, thus improving the reliability of the cup holder 100.

[0075] Please see Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 This is a top view of the cup holder 100 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 Sectional view of BB, Figure 7This is an exploded view of the cup holder 100 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. In some embodiments, the cup holder 100 further includes a sensor 61 and a motor 62. The sensor 61 is used to collect whether an item is placed on the cup holder 100 and generate a signal. The motor 62 is driven by the power output component 42 and adjusts its working state in response to the signal. In this way, the sensor 61 can identify the passenger's operation of placing or taking a cup, thereby triggering a corresponding signal to make the motor 62 generate a corresponding working state, so as to realize the function of automatically raising and lowering the cup holder 100, which helps to improve the intelligent experience of the whole vehicle and the ease of use of the cup holder 100.

[0076] It is understandable that the output shaft of motor 62 is coaxially connected to the first screw 31, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0077] The sensor 61 can be a pressure sensor 61. The pressure sensor 61 collects the weight information of the item placed on the cup holder 100, thereby generating an electrical signal and sending the electrical signal to the motor 62. The motor 62 receives the signal and adjusts its working state, thereby driving the first screw 31 to rotate in the first direction, so as to move the tray 20 away from the opening 11, thereby collecting the item in the sleeve 10.

[0078] When an item is removed from the cup holder 100, the electrical signal of the pressure sensor 61 changes. The controller receives the changed control signal and can start the motor 62, thereby driving the first screw 31 to rotate in the second direction, so as to move the tray 20 closer to the opening 11 and make the tray 20 cover the opening 11 to maintain the surface integrity of the structure on which the cup holder 100 is provided.

[0079] For example, the signal from pressure sensor 61 may be FSR402.

[0080] It is understandable that, in addition to pressure sensor 61, sensor 61 can also be distance sensor 61, infrared sensor 61, etc.

[0081] When a passenger needs to place a water cup, they simply place it on the tray 20. Upon receiving a signal that the cup has been placed on the tray 20, sensor 61 sends a signal to motor 62, causing motor 62 to run in the forward direction. When motor 62 runs in the forward direction, it drives the first screw 31 to rotate. The first screw 31 rotates along the thread between the first screw 31 and the second screw 32 in the first direction, thereby causing the second screw 32, the third screw 33, the tray 20, and the water cup to move downwards together. This continues until the second screw 32 reaches its furthest position from the opening 11 (i.e., the first stop block 321 abuts against the first stop block 314). Then, the first screw 31 and the second screw 32 rotate synchronously, causing the third screw 33 to move further downwards. Depending on the actual situation, the tray 20 can be stopped at a desired position to stop the rotation of the first screw 31. For example, motor 62 can be turned off when the third screw 33 abuts against the bottom of the sleeve 10. Figure 3 As shown. After being triggered by sensor 61, motor 62 can automatically stop by rotating a preset number of times, or it can be manually stopped by triggering a button.

[0082] When a passenger removes their water cup, the cup is picked up, and sensor 61 detects this and outputs a signal. Motor 62 then reverses its direction based on this signal. When motor 62 reverses, it drives the first screw 31 to rotate along the threaded connection between the first and second screws 31 and 32 in a second direction, thereby causing the second screw 32, the third screw 33, the tray 20, and the water cup to move upwards together. This continues until the second screw 32 reaches its closest point to the opening 11. Then, the first and second screws 31 rotate synchronously, driving the third screw 33 to move further upwards. Depending on the situation, the tray 20 can be stopped at a desired position to halt the rotation of the first screw 31. For example, motor 62 can stop operating when the surface of the tray 20 is flush with the surface of the sleeve 10 where the opening 11 is located. Figure 6 As shown.

[0083] It is understandable that if the item is not easily removed when it is completely contained in the sleeve 10, a removal command acquisition device can be configured. For example, a command can be generated to the motor 62 via a button or voice to start the motor 62 to rotate, thereby moving the tray 20 toward the opening 11, so that at least part of the item is outside the sleeve 10 for easy retrieval.

[0084] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, sensor 61 is a pressure sensor 61, which is disposed on the surface of cup holder 100 facing opening 11. This makes the signal acquisition of trigger motor 62 more direct and rapid, avoiding false triggering.

[0085] Please see Figure 3In some embodiments, the signal line 611 of the sensor 61 passes through the cup holder 100 and the sleeve 10 and is connected to the motor 62. In this way, the signal line 611 of the sensor 61 can be prevented from interfering with the placement of items such as water cups, thereby improving the ease of use of the cup holder 100.

[0086] Please see Figures 6 to 7 In some embodiments, the cup holder 100 also includes a mounting cover 63. A motor 62 is disposed on the mounting cover 63, which is connected to the sleeve 10. This improves the stability of the motor 62 relative to the sleeve 10.

[0087] Specifically, the mounting cover 63 is fixed to the bottom of the sleeve 10 by screws 50.

[0088] Please see Figures 6 to 7 In some embodiments, the cup holder 100 further includes a guide post 64. The guide post 64 is disposed within the sleeve 10. The axis of the guide post 64 is parallel to the axis of the sleeve 10. The guide post 64 passes through the power output member 42. Thus, by having the guide post 64 pass through the power output member 42, the power output member 42 can be slidably disposed within the sleeve 10, making the structure of the cup holder 100 simpler and easier to assemble and maintain.

[0089] For example, the guide post 64 is made of metal.

[0090] For example, the two ends of the guide post 64 are inserted into the sleeve 10.

[0091] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, a second stepped groove 312 is provided at the end of the outer peripheral surface of the power input component 41 away from the tray 20. The end of the power input component 41 away from the tray 20 passes through the bottom wall of the sleeve 10 and connects to the second stop 315, so that the power input component 41 is clamped on the sleeve 10 by the second stop 315 and the second stepped groove 312 near the side wall of the tray 20. In this way, the movement of the power input component 41 relative to the sleeve 10 is restricted by the second stop 315 and the second stepped groove 312 near the side wall of the tray 20, so that the power input component 41 can only rotate relative to the sleeve 10. This simplifies the connection structure between the first screw 31 and the sleeve 10, making it easy to assemble and maintain, and also improves the stability of the movement of the first screw 31.

[0092] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second stop 315 is detachably connected to the power input component 41. Specifically, the second stop 315 is connected to the first screw 31 by a screw 50. This improves the operability of the connection between the second stop 315 and the first screw 31, as well as its maintainability.

[0093] Please see Figure 4In some embodiments, the second stop 315 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the threaded part 30. This increases the contact area between the second stop 315 and the sleeve 10, thereby improving the limiting effect on the axial movement of the first threaded part 31, and also improves the structural symmetry of the cup holder 100, thereby improving the stress state.

[0094] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the sleeve 10 includes a cylindrical body 12 and a base 13. One end of the cylindrical plate is connected to the base 13, and the other end is an opening 11. In this way, the sleeve 10 is composed of multiple parts, thereby improving the ease of installation of the cup holder 100 and threaded parts 30 into the sleeve 10, thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0095] The base 13 is connected to the cylinder 12 by a snap-fit ​​and screws.

[0096] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 In some embodiments, the cylindrical body 12 includes a first side cover plate 121 and a second side cover plate 122. The first side cover plate 121 and the second side cover plate 122 are connected to each other to enclose the cylindrical body 12. One end of the first side cover plate 121 and the second side cover plate 122 is connected to the base 13. In this way, the cylindrical body 12 is composed of multiple parts, thereby improving the ease of installation of the cup holder 100 and the threaded part 30 into the sleeve 10, thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0097] The first side cover plate 121 and the second side cover plate 122 can be fixed by interlocking with each other.

[0098] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 7 In some embodiments, there are two cylinders 12 and two bases 13. Each cylinder 12 corresponds to one base 13. The first side cover plates 121 of the two cylinders 12 are connected as one unit. The second side cover plates 122 of the two cylinders 12 are connected as one unit. This improves the centralization of the cup holders 100 of adjacent seats, thereby reducing the space required for arranging the cup holders 100 in the vehicle.

[0099] It is understood that each cylinder 12 is provided with a tray 20 and at least two threaded parts 30 for driving the corresponding tray 20 to move.

[0100] Please see Figure 6In some embodiments, a seam-blocking plate 65 is provided at the junction of the first side cover 121 and the second side cover 122. The seam-blocking plate 65 is inserted into the first side cover 121 and the second side cover 122 on both sides, respectively. In this way, the seam-blocking plate 65 prevents dust and other contaminants from passing through the seam between the first side cover 121 and the second side cover 122, thereby preventing liquid leaked from the sleeve 10 from entering the vehicle's electrical system.

[0101] Specifically, the number of guide posts 64 is the same as the number of gap-blocking pieces 65, and the guide posts 64 and gap-blocking pieces 65 correspond one-to-one. The guide posts 64 are located on the side of the corresponding gap-blocking piece 65 that is close to the center of the sleeve 10.

[0102] Please refer to the figure. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 In some embodiments, the sleeve 10 further includes two cap rings 14. The cap rings 14 are located on the side of the tray 20 away from the threaded member 30. The two cap rings 14 are each connected to a cylinder 12, and the two cap rings 14 are connected as one piece. In this way, the stability of the connection between the two cylinders 12 can be improved, and the aesthetics of the cup holder 100 can be enhanced.

[0103] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a secondary instrument panel, which includes the aforementioned cup holder 100.

[0104] It is understood that the sub-dashboard includes the aforementioned cup holder 100, and the sub-dashboard has all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned cup holder 100, which will not be repeated here.

[0105] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle that includes the aforementioned cup holder 100 or the aforementioned sub-dashboard.

[0106] The vehicle may be a gasoline-powered vehicle, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, etc., and this disclosure does not make any specific restrictions.
