Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interiors, specifically to a car cup holder. Background Technology

[0002] Current car cup holders consist of a cup holder body and a latch. The cup holder body has a cup slot, and the latch is mounted on the cup holder body. A spring connects the latch and the cup holder body, providing elastic force to the latch. When a cup is placed into the cup slot, the latch retracts, clamping the cup under the spring's force. This type of cup holder, due to the inclusion of a spring and other structural components, suffers from inconvenient spring installation and assembly difficulties. Furthermore, the spring is made of metal, resulting in higher costs and increasing the overall production cost of the cup holder.

[0003] Utility model patent CN220923918U discloses a car cup holder claw mounting structure. This existing patent includes a claw bracket with the claw mounted on it. A rubber band is connected to the claw, and the elasticity of the rubber band provides the claw with the clamping force to hold the cup, eliminating the need for a spring. However, due to the large size of the claw bracket, which is inserted from the bottom of the cup holder body, and the claw rotating on the bracket, the structure of the claw and bracket is complex, making assembly difficult and hindering cost reduction in cup holder production.

[0004] In addition, the rubber band on the cup holder body is a single piece, which wraps around the outside of the entire cup holder body. The single rubber band acts on multiple claws. The elasticity of a single rubber band is limited, which makes the elasticity of the claws smaller and the clamping force of the claws on the cup smaller.

[0005] In addition, the latch rotates on the latch holder. When the cup is placed in the cup holder, the latch rotates and retracts. Because the latch retracts by rotating, the rotation of the latch causes the rubber band to tilt. If the latch and the rubber band are not stably engaged, the rubber band can easily slip off the latch, causing the rubber band to detach from the latch. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a car cup holder that simplifies the installation structure of the claw and reduces the installation difficulty and cost of the claw, rubber band and other structures. At the same time, it adopts a translational claw movement method, which makes the rubber band more stable when it is on the claw compared with the rotational claw movement method.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a car cup holder, comprising a cup holder body, a claw, and a rubber band. The cup holder body has a cup groove and a through hole on its side wall. The claw is inserted into the through hole, with one end of the claw located in the cup groove and the other end located on the outer side of the cup holder body. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cup holder body, and the fixing frame has a clearance space. The end of the claw located on the outer side of the cup holder body is laterally slidably connected in the clearance space. The rubber band is located between the fixing frame and the outer side of the cup holder body, and the rubber band presses against the end of the claw located on the outer side of the cup holder body.

[0008] The principle and advantages of this solution are as follows: The claw is installed in the through hole, and then the fixing bracket is installed on the side of the cup holder body. The rubber band is located between the fixing bracket and the cup holder body, pressing against the end of the claw located on the outer side of the cup holder body, thus applying pressure to the claw. When a cup is placed in the cup slot, the cup pushes the claw backward, causing the claw to move outward towards the outside of the cup holder body. The clearance space ensures that the fixing bracket does not obstruct the claw's backward movement. Furthermore, since the end of the claw located on the outer side of the cup holder body slides laterally within the clearance space, the claw moves backward in a translational manner. After the claw moves backward, the rubber band undergoes greater deformation, applying pressure to the claw, which then presses firmly against the cup under the pressure of the rubber band.

[0009] The above solution has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this design, the fixing bracket is located on the outer side of the cup holder body. Compared to the claw bracket in the prior art, the fixing bracket does not fit entirely from the bottom of the cup holder onto the outside of the cup holder body. The structure of the fixing bracket is simpler, easier to manufacture, and has lower production costs. Furthermore, the claw is inserted into the through hole, and then the fixing bracket is fixed to the outer side of the cup holder body so that the claw and the clearance space are aligned. The claw and fixing bracket do not require rotational connection, reducing the assembly difficulty of the fixing bracket, claw, and other structures.

[0010] 2. The retraction method of the chuck in this solution is a translational retraction method (after the water cup is placed in the cup slot, the chuck moves laterally into the clearance space), rather than a rotational retraction method. The movement of the chuck only causes the rubber band to stretch laterally and apply pressure to the chuck. The rubber band will not be tilted or stretched in other directions. The rubber band is not easy to slip on the chuck, the rubber band and the chuck are not easy to fall off, and the connection between the rubber band and the chuck is more stable.

[0011] 3. This solution uses rubber bands to apply pressure to the claws. Compared with using springs to apply pressure to the claws, this method is more convenient for assembling rubber bands and other structures, which helps improve assembly efficiency. In addition, rubber bands are cheaper than springs, thus reducing the production cost of the car cup holder.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the fixing frame is fixedly provided with rubber band fixing units, and there are at least two rubber band fixing units. The rubber band is fixed on the rubber band fixing units. The rubber band fixing unit includes a first locking part and a second locking part. The first locking part is provided with a rubber band locking groove facing the cup holder body, and the second locking part is provided with a rubber band locking groove facing away from the cup holder body. The rubber band passes through the rubber band locking groove of the first locking part and the rubber band locking groove of the second locking part.

[0013] Therefore, the rubber band fixing unit is used to fix the rubber band, so that the rubber band is fixed to the fixing frame through the rubber band fixing unit. The fixing frame is assembled on the outside of the cup holder body, and the rubber band automatically acts on the end of the claw located on the outer side of the cup holder body.

[0014] The first and second locking parts are used to fix the rubber band. The rubber band is placed into the rubber band slot of the first and second locking parts. The first and second locking parts limit the rubber band from both sides, thereby fixing the rubber band and making it difficult for the rubber band to come out of the rubber band slots on the first and second locking parts.

[0015] There are at least two rubber band fixing units, so that the rubber band can be stretched under the fixing action of the two rubber band fixing units.

[0016] Preferably, as an improvement, there are multiple first card sections and multiple second card sections, with the multiple first card sections and multiple second card sections arranged alternately in sequence.

[0017] Therefore, the first and second locking parts are multiple and alternately arranged, making the rubber band more stable on the first and second locking parts. At the same time, when the claw retracts, the multiple first and second locking parts can also distribute the force of the rubber band.

[0018] Preferably, as an improvement, the rubber band is ring-shaped, with both sides of the rubber band simultaneously pressing against the end of the claw located on the outer side of the cup holder. Thus, the rubber band is used in pairs, with both sides pressing against the end of the claw on the outer side of the cup holder. Compared to using a single rubber band, the rubber band can provide sufficient clamping force to the claw, resulting in a greater gripping force on the cup. Furthermore, using two rubber bands simultaneously distributes the pushing force from the claw to both rubber bands, reducing the likelihood of fatigue or damage to the rubber band.

[0019] Preferably, as an improvement, the fixing frame is provided with a clearance groove through which the rubber band passes, and the clearance groove and the clearance space are connected. Thus, when the jaws retract, the jaws push the rubber band backward within the clearance groove, and the fixing frame does not obstruct the movement of the rubber band. At the same time, the clearance groove also serves to limit the movement of the rubber band, preventing it from sliding relative to the jaws.

[0020] Preferably, as an improvement, the end of the claw located on the outer side of the cup holder body is provided with a first pressing groove, and the rubber band is pressed in the first pressing groove. Thus, the first pressing groove plays a limiting role in the rubber band, making the rubber band more stable on the claw and preventing it from sliding relative to the claw.

[0021] Preferably, as an improvement, the fixing bracket has a second pressing groove on the side facing the cup holder body, which presses the elastic band against the outer surface of the cup holder body. As a result, the retracting claw pushes the elastic band to stretch and deform, and the second pressing groove fixes the elastic band, preventing the part of the elastic band pressed by the second pressing groove from moving with the claw, thus ensuring that the elastic band can stretch and generate elasticity. At the same time, after the elastic band stretches, the second pressing groove can also distribute the force of the elastic band, preventing the first and second locking parts from bearing excessive force from the elastic band and being easily damaged.

[0022] Preferably, as an improvement, the cup holder body has two cup slots, each cup slot has two claws, and the two claws in each cup slot are located on both sides of the cup slot; the number of fixing brackets is two, and the two fixing brackets are located on both sides of the cup holder body; the two claws located on the same side of the cup holder body are simultaneously acted upon by the rubber band on that side.

[0023] Therefore, each fixing bracket and the rubber band on the fixing bracket fixes and provides elasticity to the claws in the two cup slots respectively. Only one fixing bracket and one rubber band are set on each side of the cup holder body. There is no need to set multiple ones, and the structure is simple and convenient.

[0024] Preferably, as an improvement, the fixing frame is provided with a positioning hole, and a positioning part is fixedly provided on the outer side of the cup holder body, which is inserted into the positioning hole. Thus, the fixing frame is installed on the cup holder body, and the positioning part is inserted into the positioning hole, thereby achieving the installation and positioning of the fixing frame.

[0025] Preferably, as an improvement, the fixing frame is provided with a fixing part, the fixing part has an insertion hole, and a welding post is fixedly provided on the outer side of the cup holder body, the welding post being inserted into the insertion hole. Thus, the fixing frame is installed on the cup holder body, and the installation and positioning of the fixing frame is achieved by inserting the welding post into the insertion hole. Then, the welding post is welded together, thereby fixing the fixing frame and the cup holder body. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing the rubber band located on the claw and cup holder body. Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method: The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: cup holder body 1, welding column 11, insert 12, claw 2, slider 21, first pressing groove 22, fixing frame 3, positioning piece 31, first locking part 32, second locking part 33, clearance groove 34, second pressing groove 35, clearance space 36, guide groove 37, insertion hole 38, fixing part 39, and rubber band 4.

[0033] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figures 1-6 As shown: A car cup holder includes a cup holder body 1, a claw 2, a fixing bracket 3, and a rubber band 4.

[0034] The cup holder body 1 is provided with cup grooves. In this embodiment, there are two cup grooves, which are connected. The side wall of the cup holder body 1 is provided with through holes. Each cup groove is provided with two through holes, which are located on the left and right sides of the cup holder body 1, respectively.

[0035] Since there are a total of four through holes, there are also four claws 2. The four claws 2 are inserted into the four through holes respectively. One end of the claw 2 is located in the cup groove, and the other end of the claw 2 is located on the outer side of the cup holder body 1. The fixing frame 3 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cup holder body 1. The specific fixing method is as follows: the top of the fixing frame 3 is integrally provided with a positioning piece 31, which is provided with a positioning hole. The outer side of the cup holder body 1 is integrally fixed with a positioning part, which is an insert piece 12, and the positioning part is inserted into the positioning hole. The left and right ends and the bottom of the fixing frame 3 are integrally fixed with fixing parts 39, which are provided with insertion holes 38. Multiple welding pillars 11 are fixedly provided on the outer side of the cup holder body 1. The welding pillars 11 are inserted into the insertion holes 38. The cup holder body 1 and the fixing frame 3 are fixed by welding through the welding pillars 11.

[0036] Combination Figure 4As shown, each fixing frame 3 in this embodiment is provided with two clearance spaces 36. The two clearance spaces 36 are respectively opposite to the two claws 2 on the side of the cup holder body 1. The end of the claw 2 located on the outer side of the cup holder body 1 is laterally slidably connected in the clearance space 36. At the same time, the inner wall of the clearance space 36 is provided with a guide groove 37. The end of the claw 2 located on the outer side of the cup holder body 1 is integrally provided with a slider 21. The slider 21 is slidably engaged with the guide groove 37. In this way, the sliding engagement between the slider 21 and the guide groove 37 plays a guiding role in the sliding of the claw 2 in the clearance space 36.

[0037] The rubber band 4 is located between the fixing frame 3 and the outer side of the cup holder body 1, and the rubber band 4 presses on one end of the claw 2 located on the outer side of the cup holder body 1. In this embodiment, the rubber band 4 is fixed to the fixing frame 3, so that the fixing frame 3 is fixed to the outside of the cup holder body 1, and the rubber band 4 presses on the claw 2. In this embodiment, the fixing method of the fixing frame 3 and the rubber band 4 is as follows: Two rubber band fixing units are fixedly provided on the fixing frame 3. These two units are located on the fixing portions 39 at the left and right ends of the fixing frame 3, respectively. Each rubber band fixing unit includes multiple first locking portions 32 and multiple second locking portions 33. In this embodiment, there are three first locking portions 32 and two second locking portions 33. The first locking portions 32 and second locking portions 33 are alternately arranged on the edge of the fixing portion 39. The first locking portions 32 have rubber band slots facing the cup holder body 1, and the second locking portions 33 have rubber band slots facing away from the cup holder body 1. The rubber band 4 passes through the rubber band slots of the first locking portions 32 and the second locking portions 33, thereby fixing the rubber band 4 to the rubber band fixing unit. In this embodiment, the rubber band 4 is ring-shaped, with two overlapping rubber bands. The two sides of the rubber band 4 are distributed vertically, and both sides of the rubber band 4 simultaneously press against the end of the claw 2 located on the outer side of the cup holder body 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fixing frame 3 is provided with a clearance groove 34, which is connected to the clearance space 36. The clearance groove 34 is located on the side wall of the clearance space 36. Each clearance space 36 has clearance grooves 34 on both sides. There are two clearance grooves 34 on both sides of each clearance space 36, so that the rubber band 4 can pass through the upper and lower clearance grooves 34 after overlapping into two.

[0039] Combination Figure 6 As shown, the claw 2 has a first pressing groove 22 at one end on the outer side of the cup holder body 1, and the rubber band 4 is pressed in the first pressing groove 22. In this embodiment, each claw 2 has two sets of first pressing grooves, upper and lower, so as to accommodate the rubber band 4 after they overlap to form two pieces for placement.

[0040] Combination Figure 5As shown, the fixing frame 3 has a second pressing groove 35 on its side facing the cup holder body 1. The second pressing groove 35 presses the rubber band 4 against the outer surface of the cup holder body 1. In this embodiment, the fixing frame 3 has two second pressing grooves 35, which can press the two rubber bands 4 separately after they overlap. In this embodiment, the second pressing groove 35 is located between two clearance spaces 36, so that the two ends of the rubber band 4 are fixed by the rubber band fixing unit, and the middle part of the rubber band 4 is pressed and fixed by the second pressing groove 35, thereby improving the pressing and fixing effect of the rubber band 4. The rubber band 4 is more stable on the fixing frame 3. When the claw 2 retracts, the two rubber band fixing units and the second pressing groove 35 respectively bear the force of the rubber band 4, avoiding the easy damage caused by only the rubber band fixing unit bearing the force of the rubber band 4. The second pressing groove 35 and the clearance groove 34 are opposite each other.

[0041] In this embodiment, the structure and assembly method of the fixing bracket 3, the claw 2 and the rubber band 4 on both sides of the cup holder body 1 are the same.

[0042] The specific principle is as follows: During assembly, first install the claw 2 into the through hole, then install the rubber band 4 onto the fixing bracket 3 (after the rubber band 5 is installed onto the fixing bracket 3, as shown in the image). Figure 5 As shown), the fixing bracket 3 is then installed and fixed on the side of the cup holder body 1. The rubber band 4 is located between the fixing bracket 3 and the cup holder body 1. The rubber band 4 presses on one end of the claw 2 located on the outer side of the cup holder body 1 (specifically, it presses on the first pressure groove 22). The rubber band 4 applies pressure to the claw 2.

[0043] In use, the cup is placed into the cup slot, and the cup pushes the claw 2 backward (moving away from the center of the cup slot). The claw 2 moves outward from the cup holder body 1. The clearance space 36 ensures that the fixing bracket 3 does not obstruct the backward movement of the claw 2. The slider 21 slides in the guide groove 37, and the claw 2 gradually moves into the clearance space 36. After the claw 2 moves backward, it pushes the part of the rubber band 4 connected to the claw 2 into the clearance space 36. The clearance groove 34 allows the rubber band 4 to enter the clearance space 36, while the part of the rubber band 4 connected to the second pressure groove 35 and the rubber band fixing unit remains stationary. This causes the rubber band 4 to stretch and deform, applying pressure to the claw 2. Under the pressure of the rubber band 4, the claw 2 presses firmly against the cup.

[0044] The fixing frame 3 in this embodiment has a simple structure, low production cost, is easy to assemble, and helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0045] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application should be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
