Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically, it relates to a cup holder claw for automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of car ownership, the demand for in-car beverages is growing. In-car cup holders have become a practical feature; however, many car models, especially those with limited front-row space, lack fixed cup holders or have inconveniently located ones. To address this, a cup holder has been developed that utilizes the grille (i.e., air vent) of the car's air conditioning vent for fixation. However, existing cup holders typically use a claw structure to hook onto the air vent, which has the following main drawbacks: the spacing and size of the air vent grilles vary greatly between different car models, making it difficult to use universally compatible claws, leading to unstable installation or even complete inability to install; traditional claw structures are simple and lack effective locking, easily loosening during vehicle travel and causing the cup to tip over.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to have a clearer understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described below are merely illustrative of this utility model and facilitate understanding. The technical solutions provided by this utility model are not limited to those provided in the following embodiments, nor should they limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] Example like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a cup holder claw for automobiles, mainly including a tray 1, a vertical connecting part 2, a clamping single piece 3, and an adjustable claw connecting mechanism; wherein, the tray 1 is the component that directly supports the cup, and the shape of the tray 1 is circular, which conforms to the bottom shape of most cups. The upper end face of the tray 1 is preferably provided with an anti-slip pad 10, which can be made of rubber or silicone material and is fixed by adhesive or embedding to increase friction and prevent the cup from sliding.

[0021] The vertical connecting part 2 is fixedly disposed at the rear end of the tray 1. Preferably, the vertical connecting part 2 is disposed perpendicular to the rear end of the upper surface of the tray 1 and is integrally formed with the tray 1. The upper part of the vertical connecting part 2 extends to both sides to form an arc-shaped clamping part 21. The arc-shaped clamping part 21 bends toward the tray 1 side, and the arc-shaped clamping part 21 allows it to better fit the curve of the cup body.

[0022] There are two clamping units 3, which are rotatably connected to the ends of the arc-shaped clamping parts 21 at the upper end of the vertical connecting part 2 via rotating connectors 9. In this embodiment, the rotating connectors 9 preferably adopt self-rebound hinges, so that the two clamping units 3 have a tendency to close inward in their natural state, thereby forming an automatically clamping clamping structure together with the vertical connecting part 2; when a cup is placed in the clamp, the clamping units 3 automatically clamp the outer circumference of the cup under the action of the self-rebound hinges, which is suitable for cups of various diameters.

[0023] In this embodiment, the adjustable claw connecting mechanism is located on the back of the vertical connecting part 2, used to securely install the entire cup holder onto the car air vent. Specifically, the mechanism includes: a fixed connecting part 5, which is arranged horizontally and integrally formed or fixedly connected to the vertical connecting part 2, and the interior of the fixed connecting part 5 has a hollow structure; a horizontal adjustment groove 4, which is opened along the length direction of the fixed connecting part 5 and is a long strip-shaped sliding groove structure; and two sliding members 6, which are slidably installed on the horizontal adjustment groove 4. Figure 3As shown, the sliding member 6 adopts a sandwich-style clamping structure, including an outer side plate 61, a middle side plate 62, and an inner side plate 63 arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The outer side plate 61 is located outside the fixed connection part 5, the inner side plate 63 is located inside the fixed connection part 5, and the middle side plate 62 passes through the transverse adjustment groove 4 and is clamped at the edge of the groove. This structure allows the sliding member 6 to slide easily along the groove without falling out of the groove, ensuring the stability and reliability of use. A claw member 7 is provided on each sliding member 6. Specifically, the claw member 7 includes a straight rod 71 with one end vertically connected to the sliding member 6, a hook-shaped part 72 at the other end of the straight rod 71, and an inclined plate on the straight rod 71. 73, wherein the inclined plate 73 and the hook-shaped part 72 are located on the same side, forming a gap between them for the air outlet plate (grate plate) of the car air vent to pass through. In a further preferred embodiment, in order to enhance the grip and prevent slippage, an anti-slip layer 74 is preferably provided on the inner side of the hook-shaped part 72. The anti-slip layer 74 is a rubber layer attached to the inner side of the hook-shaped part 72. The abutment 8 is provided on the lower end face of the fixed connection part 5. In this embodiment, the abutment 8 is an elastic rubber pad, which is detachably (e.g., by buckle or Velcro) or fixedly connected to the fixed connection part 5. During assembly, the abutment 8 abuts downward against the bottom edge of the car air vent, forming a stable three-point support together with the two claw parts 7 above.

[0024] The installation process of this utility model is as follows: First, according to the distance between the two horizontal air vents on the target car's air vent, manually adjust the position of the two sliding parts 6 on the horizontal adjustment groove 4, thereby changing the distance between the two claw parts 7 to match the distance between the two horizontal air vents; second, after the distance is adjusted appropriately, pass the air vent through the gap between the two claw parts 7, and hook the hook-shaped part 72 onto the rear end of the air vent (i.e., the inner side of the air vent); third, let the entire cup holder hang down naturally under the action of gravity, so that the elastic rubber abutment 8 at the lower end of the fixed connection part 5 tightly abuts against the bottom edge of the air vent 100. At this time, the anti-slip layer 74 of the claw part 7 is in close contact with the air vent, and the abutment 8 undergoes slight deformation to provide elasticity, and the entire device is firmly locked on the air vent.

[0025] When in use, the cup is placed in the clamping structure consisting of the tray 1, the vertical connecting part 2, and two clamping units 3. The clamping units 3 automatically clamp the cup under the action of the self-rebound hinge, and together with the anti-slip pad 10 of the tray 1, ensure that the cup remains stable during travel.

[0026] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
