Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cup holder technology, specifically a turtle-shaped cup holder. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life, cup holders, as everyday items used to hold containers such as water cups, mugs, and thermos flasks, are widely used in homes, offices, and vehicles. Their function is not only to maintain tidiness but also to adapt to diverse usage needs. However, traditional cup holders have significant shortcomings in design and function: Structurally, most cup holders use a single recess or open bracket design, providing only basic support and lacking effective fixation for containers of different sizes. Even slight bumps during daily activities can easily cause cups to tip over, spilling liquids, damaging electronic devices, soiling documents or interiors, and affecting user experience and the overall tidiness of the environment. In terms of design, traditional cup holders tend to be homogenous, often featuring simple geometric shapes, failing to meet consumers' pursuit of aesthetics and personalized items. In today's world, where decorative and fun elements are valued, they cannot become a highlight in any setting, and their ordinary design may even lead users to overlook their value.

[0003] Meanwhile, with the growing demand for creative home and car accessories in the consumer market, products that combine practicality with unique design are gradually becoming a trend. Bionic design is frequently used in various products to increase their appeal and visual attractiveness. However, existing bionic cup holders mostly remain at the level of appearance imitation, failing to deeply integrate design and function. For example, some animal-shaped cup holders only have animal outlines on the base, with rudimentary internal fixing structures, failing to address practical user pain points.

[0004] Therefore, a turtle-shaped cup holder is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a turtle cup holder, which has the advantages of a beautiful biomimetic shape, a stable low center of gravity structure, adaptive clamping to accommodate various cup shapes, elastic anti-tipping, compact mechanical linkage, and low cost and easy maintenance.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a turtle cup holder, comprising a turtle-shaped base, wherein a cup groove is provided on the turtle-shaped base, and a clamping component is provided in the cup groove;

[0007] The clamping assembly includes a partition plate at the bottom of the cup groove. A plurality of circumferentially distributed elastic plates are installed on the inner wall of the cup groove. A horizontal plate is connected to the top of each elastic plate, and a guide rod is connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate. A support plate is connected to the bottom of the guide rod, and a movable plate is fixedly connected to one end of the support plate. The movable plate is located below the partition plate, and a movable column is fixedly connected to the top center of the movable plate. The top of the movable column extends through the partition plate into the cup groove. A spring is connected to the bottom of the partition plate, and a fixed plate is connected to the bottom of the spring. The top edge of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the partition plate via a connecting rod.

[0008] Preferably, the turtle-shaped base includes a turtle body structure, a drive transmission mechanism is installed inside the turtle body structure, the drive transmission mechanism is connected to a limb structure, a turtle head structure is connected to the front side of the turtle body structure, and a turtle tail structure is connected to the rear side of the turtle body structure.

[0009] Preferably, the turtle body structure includes a turtle-back shaped cup holder, the cup groove is formed at the top of the turtle-back shaped cup holder, and the top of the turtle-back shaped cup holder is connected to a turtle-back shaped cover plate via a pivot.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the cup groove is provided with a groove at the position corresponding to the elastic sheet, and both the elastic sheet and the cross plate are disposed in the groove, with the bottom of the elastic sheet fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the groove.

[0011] Preferably, a guide hole is provided on the turtle-back shaped cup seat at a position corresponding to the guide rod, and the guide rod passes through the guide hole.

The top edge of the fixed plate 39 is fixedly connected to the partition 31 via a connecting rod 310.

[0032] The clamping assembly 3 constructs an adaptive and stable clamping system through the coordinated operation of multiple components. In terms of adaptability, the linkage mechanism composed of elastic sheet 32, movable plate 36 and other structures can flexibly adjust the clamping state according to the diameter and height of the water cup: the elastic sheet 32 ​​has elastic deformation capability. When water cups of different sizes are placed in, it can deform by its own compression. In conjunction with the horizontal plate 33 and guide rod 34, it drives the movable plate 36 and movable column 37 to move, realizing the wrap-around clamping of various containers such as slender glass cups and thick insulated cups, solving the problem of "choosing cup shape" in traditional cup holders.

[0033] Specifically, the turtle-shaped base 1 includes a turtle body structure 11, a drive transmission mechanism 12 installed inside the turtle body structure 11, the drive transmission mechanism 12 is existing public technology and will not be described in detail here, the drive transmission mechanism 12 is connected to a limb structure 13, a turtle head structure 14 is connected to the front side of the turtle body structure 11, and a turtle tail structure 15 is connected to the rear side of the turtle body structure 11.

[0034] Furthermore, the turtle body structure 11 includes a turtle-back shaped cup holder 111, a cup groove 2 is opened on the top of the turtle-back shaped cup holder 111, and a turtle-back shaped cover plate 113 is connected to the top of the turtle-back shaped cup holder 111 via a pivot 112. The cup groove 2, together with the turtle-back shaped cover plate 113, can also serve as a storage space to hold small items such as candy.

[0035] Furthermore, a groove 311 is provided on the inner wall of the cup groove 2 at the position corresponding to the elastic piece 32. Both the elastic piece 32 and the horizontal plate 33 are provided in the groove 311, and the bottom of the elastic piece 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the groove 311.

[0036] It is worth noting that a guide hole 312 is provided on the turtle-back shaped cup seat 111 at the position corresponding to the guide rod 34, and the guide rod 34 passes through the guide hole 312.

[0037] It is worth noting that a through hole 313 corresponding to the movable column 37 is provided at the center of the partition 31, and the movable column 37 passes through the through hole 313.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that a rubber protective pad 314 is provided on the side of the elastic sheet 32 ​​facing the movable column 37, and the connecting rod 310 passes through the gap between the adjacent support plates 35 and is then fixedly connected to the partition plate 31.

[0039] Working principle and process: Place the turtle-shaped base 1 stably on a flat surface such as a table or car armrest box. Utilize its low center of gravity and wide support surface to ensure that the turtle-shaped base 1 is stable and does not wobble. Lift the turtle-back shaped cover 113 through the pivot 112 to expose the cup slot 2. If no storage is needed, the open cup slot 2 can also be used directly. Place the cup vertically into the cup slot 2, with the center of the bottom of the cup first contacting the top of the movable column 37. As the cup is pressed down, the movable column 37 drives the bottom movable plate 36 to move downward, compressing the spring 38. At the same time, the movable plate 36 pushes the horizontal plate 33 downward through the support plate 35 and the guide rod 34. When the horizontal plate 33 moves downward, the circumferentially distributed elastic plates 32 are pulled inward by the horizontal plate 33 and deform to wrap around the cup. When picking up the cup, pull the cup up and down to overcome the friction between the elastic plates and the cup, and then the cup can be removed. Under the action of the spring 38, all structures return to their original positions.
