Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cup holder technology, and in particular to a cup holder with an adjustable clamping diameter armrest. Background Technology
[0002] Today, cup holders with armrests have become an indispensable convenience. With the improvement of people's living standards and changes in beverage consumption habits, the variety and size of beverages are constantly increasing. Traditional cup holders with armrests mostly use a continuous ring structure to place and hold the cup. This design can, to a certain extent, meet the basic needs of cup placement and provide convenience.
[0003] However, this traditional armrest cup holder design has obvious drawbacks. With the continuous development of the beverage market, especially the popularity of drinks such as milk tea, the capacity of a single cup has gradually increased, and the traditional ring-shaped armrest cup holder is difficult to adapt to this change. Due to its fixed-size ring structure, it often cannot provide a stable grip for larger cups, causing inconvenience to users. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide an armrest cup holder with an adjustable clamping diameter to solve the technical problem of the limited applicable size range of traditional armrest cup holders.

[0007] Two fixed protrusions are respectively connected to the two symmetrical sides of the inner wall of the cup holder;
[0008] And two movable protrusions, both of which are movably connected to the cup holder through an adjustment structure. The two movable protrusions are symmetrically arranged in the cup holder and arranged in a cross shape with the two fixed protrusions. One end of the two fixed protrusions and the end of one of the movable protrusions are on the same circumference, and the circumference trajectory is the clamping diameter of the cup holder.
[0009] The adjustment structure includes a support member and a slide rod. The support member is connected to the cup holder, and the slide rod is connected to the movable boss and slidably connected to the support member, so that the movable boss and the cup holder can be slidably connected.

[0032] It should be further noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides an adjustable clamping diameter armrest cup holder, including a cup holder 1, two fixed protrusions 2, and two movable protrusions 7. The two movable protrusions 7 are movably connected to the cup holder through an adjustment structure. The cup body is clamped by the three points of the movable protrusions 7 and the two fixed protrusions 2. The position of the movable protrusions 7 changes, so that the clamping diameter of the three points at the enclosure can be adjusted.
[0034] Furthermore, the cup holder 1 is the main structure of the entire cup holder, used to hold the cup. Its internal space is designed to be a rectangular cavity molded out towards one end to provide space for the cup.
[0035] The cup holder 1 has grooves 3 on its opposite side walls. The grooves 3 are connected to the outer side of the cup holder 1. The grooves 3 on the inner wall of the cup holder 1 allow the movable boss 7 to be inserted so that the movable boss 7 can be integrated with the cup holder 1 in the initial position. The movable boss 7 can be slidably adjusted by the bracket and the slide rod 6.
[0036] In this embodiment, two fixed bosses 2 are integrally connected to the symmetrical sides of the inner wall of the cup holder 1. The main function of the fixed bosses 2 is to provide stable support points and cooperate with the movable bosses 7 to form a cross-shaped arrangement.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 One end of each of the two fixed protrusions 2 and the end of each movable protrusion 7 are on the same circumference, and the circumference trajectory is the clamping diameter of the cup holder.
[0038] In this embodiment, two movable bosses 7 are symmetrically arranged in the cup holder 1 and are movably connected to the cup holder 1 through an adjustment structure. One end of the movable boss 7 is designed to correspond to the size of the groove 3, so that it can be embedded in the groove 3 and integrated with the inner wall of the cup holder 1, thereby enhancing the aesthetics of the structure.
[0039] The movable boss 7 has a recessed cavity on the side facing the groove 3, which provides a space for the support component, making the movable boss 7 fit more tightly against the inner wall of the cup holder 1.
[0040] In this embodiment, the adjustment structure includes a support member and a slide rod 6. The support member is connected to the cup holder 1 and serves as a support and sliding connection. The support member is fixed inside the cup holder 1 by the support frame 14 and the extension frame 4 to ensure the stable sliding of the slide rod 6.
[0041] Understandably, the slide rod 6 is connected to the movable boss 7 and slidably connected to the support member. The sliding of the slide rod 6 allows the movable boss 7 to move along a predetermined trajectory, thereby changing the clamping diameter. The other end of the slide rod 6 is connected to a blocking block 12 to prevent the slide rod 6 from disengaging from the reinforcing rod 5.
[0042] To provide stable support for the movable boss 7 towards the two fixed bosses 2, a one-way limiting structure is provided between the slide rod 6 and the support component. The one-way limiting structure is used to restrict the retraction of the slide rod 6 and ensure the stability of the clamping diameter after adjustment. The one-way limiting structure includes an elastic support 9, a one-way tooth 10, and a rack 8.
[0043] It should be noted that the rack 8 is mounted on the extension frame 4 and meshes with the one-way tooth 10; the one-way tooth 10 is connected to the slide bar 6 through the elastic bracket 9; both the one-way tooth 10 and the rack 8 are triangular teeth and face opposite directions.
[0044] The right-angled sides of the triangular teeth abut against each other, achieving meshing and limiting in one direction; the hypotenuses abut against each other, allowing relative movement in the other direction.
[0045] Furthermore, the elastic bracket 9 is an L-shaped bent bracket, with one end connected to the outside of the slide rod 6 and the other end parallel to the slide rod 6, capable of generating a certain displacement. An elastic element 11 is connected between the suspended end of the elastic bracket 9 and the slide rod 6. The elastic element 11 pushes the elastic bracket 9 closer to the extension frame 4, ensuring that the rack 8 and the one-way tooth 10 are tightly engaged.
[0046] The elastic element 11 is a spring, which is used to push the elastic bracket 9 closer to the extension frame 4 by elastic force.
[0047] In another optional embodiment, an L-shaped actuating bracket 13 is provided on the opposite side of the two elastic supports 9. The actuating bracket 13 allows the user to squeeze the elastic support 9 from the groove 3, causing it to deform and retract, thereby releasing the one-way limit and realizing the retraction adjustment of the slide rod 6.
[0048] It is worth noting that the guide hole 15 is formed on the reinforcing rod 5, and has two interconnected hole types: a square hole and a rectangular hole. The square hole is slidably connected to the slide rod 6, and the rectangular hole is slidably connected to the elastic bracket 9.
[0049] This design ensures stable sliding of the slide bar 6 while providing space for the displacement of the elastic support 9.
[0050] In practical use, users can adjust the clamping diameter according to the diameter of the cup. The cup can be placed directly in the cup holder 1, and the clamping diameter can be changed by directly pushing the movable boss 7 to move it along the slide rod 6. During the movement, the one-way teeth 10 connected to the movable boss 7 and the rack 8 on the extension frame 4 can slide in one direction through the engagement of the inclined surfaces of the triangular teeth. When the movable boss 7 contacts and abuts the surface of the cup to form a suitable clamping position, the clamping diameter is changed by the engagement of the one-way teeth 10 and the rack 8. The right-angled edge of the angled tooth abuts against and restricts the retraction of the movable boss 7, thus clamping the cup body. When it is necessary to reset the movable boss 7, the user can pinch the actuating frame 13 from the groove 3 on one side of the cup holder 1, squeeze the elastic support 9, and deform it to retract, releasing the engagement limit between the one-way tooth 10 and the rack 8. At this time, the slide bar 6 can slide freely. After retracting the movable boss 7, the actuating frame 13 is released, and the elastic support 9 returns to its original position under the action of the elastic element 11, and the one-way tooth 10 re-engages with the rack 8.
[0051] In this document, the directional terms such as front, back, top, and bottom are defined based on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings and their relative positions to each other, solely for the purpose of clarity and convenience in expressing the technical solution. It should be understood that these are relative concepts and can vary depending on different methods of use and placement; the use of these directional terms should not limit the scope of protection claimed in this application.
[0052] Where there is no conflict, the above embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
