Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technology of water cup holders for motor vehicles, specifically a multi-functional water cup holder for vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, cup holders in vehicles are typically installed on the dashboard or in the armrest. For user convenience, vehicle cup holders currently come in both pull-out / hidden and fixed integrated designs. Dashboard-mounted cup holders are generally fixed. Because they only position the cup, the main drawback of dashboard cup holders is their limited functionality; they are only suitable for holding cups and not for other items (other items placed in the cup holder are prone to significant swaying and falling out during vehicle movement).

[0003] Furthermore, it is well known that the vehicle dashboard houses numerous control system and auxiliary system electrical components. When these components malfunction, it typically requires the entire dashboard housing to be removed for repair or replacement, resulting in high labor costs. Current technology has not provided a satisfactory solution. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems pointed out in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional cup holder for vehicles. By designing the cup holder as a quick-release structure embedded in the vehicle dashboard and increasing the cup holder's capacity, the installation position of the cup holder is preset as a maintenance passage of the vehicle dashboard, thereby giving the cup holder multiple functions and maximizing user satisfaction.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] A multifunctional cup holder for vehicles includes a vehicle dashboard housing 1 and a cup holder body 3. The top wall of the vehicle dashboard housing 1 is provided with an access port. The cup holder body 3 includes a connecting part 31 and a first housing 32 with an upper opening. The connecting part 31 surrounds the upper opening of the first housing 32 and is fixedly integrated with the first housing 32. The first housing 32 is embedded in the access port. The connecting part 31 is detachably connected to the vehicle dashboard housing 1. The inner cavity of the first housing 32 is a cylindrical cavity for placing a cup. Its inner sidewall is provided with a first slot and a second slot with an upper opening. The first slot and the second slot together form a mobile phone placement slot.

[0024] The inner wall of the inspection port of the vehicle dashboard housing 1 has a first connecting plate on one side and a second connecting plate on the other side. The connecting part 31 is installed above the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate. The cup holder body 3 has a first connecting piece 2 connected to one side and a second connecting piece 10 connected to the other side. The cup holder body 3 is connected to the first connecting plate through the first connecting piece 2 and to the second connecting plate through the second connecting piece 10.

[0025] The first connecting plate is provided with a slot, and the first connecting member 2 is a clip. The upper end of the first connecting member 2 is connected to the lower end face of the connecting part 31, and the lower end of the first connecting member 2 is engaged with the slot of the first connecting plate. The second connecting member 10 is a hook. The upper end of the hook is connected to the lower end face of the connecting part 21, and the lower end of the hook forms an insertion groove with the connecting part 31. The second connecting plate is inserted into the insertion groove. In one embodiment of this utility model, the clip as the first connecting member 2 is made of plastic. The lower end face of the connecting part 31 is provided with a clip installation structure 11. Specifically, the clip installation structure 11 includes an installation block, a limiting groove on the installation block, a limiting pin in the limiting groove, an opening on the side of the limiting groove, and the limiting pin horizontally set in the limiting groove. The clip is inserted into the limiting groove from the side. The side of the clip is provided with a positioning hole corresponding to the side of the limiting pin. The positioning hole is fitted into the limiting pin, and the position of the clip is positioned by the limiting groove and the limiting pin. The clip is designed to make the most easily worn part replaceable, so that it can be replaced after repeated use.

[0026] Specifically, the installation process of the cup holder body 3 is as follows: First, install the clip into the clip mounting structure 11 on the lower end face of the connecting part 31. Then, insert the lower end of the first housing 32 of the cup holder body 3 into the access port of the vehicle dashboard housing 1. When the connecting part 31 is close to the access port of the vehicle dashboard housing 1, tilt the cup holder body 3 slightly and align the insertion groove formed by the hook and the connecting part 31 with the edge of the second connecting plate on the inner wall of the access port of the vehicle dashboard housing 1. Then, gradually straighten the cup holder body 3 and align the clip with the slot on the first connecting plate inside the access port of the vehicle dashboard housing 1. Once the clip is engaged, the installation of the cup holder body 3 is complete. For disassembly, first lift the connecting part 31 on the side with the clip to release the clip, and then pull the hook out from the second connecting plate inside the access port of the vehicle dashboard housing 1. Then, lift the cup holder body 3 upwards to complete the removal.

[0027] The vehicle dashboard housing 1 is externally connected to a gear shift knob 4, a windshield switch 5, a cigarette lighter 6, a hazard light switch 7, an air conditioning switch 8, and a mode switch 9.
