Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive cup holder technology, specifically a pre-opening cup holder. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cup holders are an important component in the passenger vehicle industry. Some current cup holders are sliding types, with the cup holder ring mounted on a sliding component. When not in use, the cup holder tray, cup holder ring, and claws retract into the housing. When needed, the claws, cup holder ring, and tray slide out. Currently, the traditional claws are fixed to the cup holder ring, which needs to be rotated to open. However, the cup holder ring itself is quite heavy. Even if it is designed as a flip-up structure, the overall strength is low and the service life is short. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. This utility model provides a pre-opening cup holder, which changes the installation position of the cleaver. When opened, the cleaver rotates while the cup holder ring does not rotate, thus ensuring the overall strength.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] The pre-opening cup holder includes a housing, an upper cup holder ring, a left pawl, and a right pawl. A maze lock is installed at the rear end of the housing. The rear end of the upper cup holder ring has a locking block corresponding to the maze lock and two coil springs. The other end of the coil springs is connected to the housing. The upper cup holder ring is slidably connected to the housing. A front connecting rod and a rear connecting rod are installed at the bottom of the upper cup holder ring. The other ends of the front connecting rod and the rear connecting rod are respectively connected to the lower cup tray. The left pawl and the right pawl are rotatably installed at the lower end of the upper cup holder ring. The rear ends of the left pawl and the right pawl have upward-facing pawl posts. The rear ends of the rear connecting rod have connecting rod guide posts on both sides. The housing has two track grooves on both sides and two track grooves on the top of the housing. One end of the connecting rod guide post is located in track groove one, and one end of the pawl post is located in track groove two.

[0006] Furthermore, the trajectory slot 1 includes slot 1 and slot 2. Slot 1 is set horizontally, and slot 2 is set at an angle. The end of slot 2 is higher than slot 1.

[0007] Furthermore, the second track slot includes slot three and slot four, and the distance between the ends of the two slot threes is less than the distance between the two slot fours.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the upper cup holder ring is provided with a rear connecting rod mounting block, and a rear sliding pin is installed at the rear connecting rod mounting block. The rear sliding pin is connected to the rear connecting rod, and the two sides of the rear end of the rear connecting rod are connected to the two sides of the upper cup holder ring by connecting pins. The upper cup holder ring is provided with a guide groove corresponding to the connecting rod guide post.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the upper cup holder ring is provided with a front connecting rod mounting block, and the front connecting rod is connected to the front connecting rod mounting block through a front sliding pin.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper cup holder ring is provided with two claw post through slots, through which the claw posts pass. The upper cup holder ring is also provided with a claw limiting block and a claw limiting ring.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the upper cup holder ring is equipped with a guide slider, and the two sides of the upper cup holder ring are equipped with guide slides.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] Significantly improves overall structural strength and extends service life. Traditional cup holders are fixed to the cup holder ring by the claws. This utility model rotates and installs the left and right claws on the lower end of the upper cup holder ring. The upper cup holder ring only slides horizontally along the shell (without flipping action), which completely avoids the structural stress concentration problem caused by the flipping design of the cup holder ring. It greatly improves the overall load-bearing strength and wear resistance of the cup holder, effectively extends the service life of the product, and is more suitable for the long-term bumpy use environment of automobiles.

[0014] Achieving synchronized pre-opening simplifies operation and enhances ease of use. Through the coordinated design of "track groove one + track groove two + linkage mechanism," when the upper cup holder ring unlocks and slides, the connecting rod guide post of the rear linkage moves along track groove one, simultaneously driving the lower cup tray to descend smoothly; at the same time, the left and right claw posts move along track groove two, automatically opening the claws outward. The entire unfolding process requires no additional manual adjustment, making it suitable for one-handed operation while driving, thus improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a pre-opening cup holder, including a housing 1, an upper cup holder ring 2, a left claw 3, and a right claw 4. A maze lock 5 is installed at the rear end of the housing 1. The rear end of the upper cup holder ring 2 is provided with a locking block 201 corresponding to the maze lock 5 and two coil springs 6. The other end of the coil springs 6 is connected to the housing 1. The upper cup holder ring 2 is slidably connected to the housing 1. A front connecting rod 7 and a rear connecting rod 8 are installed at the bottom of the upper cup holder ring 2. The other ends of the front connecting rod 7 and the rear connecting rod 8 are respectively connected to the lower cup tray 9. The left claw 3 and the right claw 4 are rotatably installed at the lower end of the upper cup holder ring 2. The rear ends of the left claw 3 and the right claw 4 are provided with upward-facing claw posts 10. The rear ends of the rear connecting rod 8 are provided with connecting rod guide posts 11 on both sides. The housing 1 is provided with track groove 12 on both sides and two track grooves 23 on the top of the housing 1. One end of the connecting rod guide post 11 is located at track groove 12, and one end of the claw post 10 is located at track groove 23.

[0026] When it is needed to be opened, press the front end of the cup holder ring 2. At this time, there is a small movement, which causes the maze lock 5 to rotate, and the lock block 201 and the maze lock 5 are unlocked.

[0027] In this invention, the upper cup holder ring 2 moves horizontally. When the connecting rod 8 moves to the end of the first track groove 12, the rear connecting rod 8 and the front connecting rod 7 rotate simultaneously. At this time, the lower cup tray 9 at the lower end moves downward, while the left pawl 3 and the right pawl 4 move simultaneously along the second track groove 13, achieving horizontal outward rotation and unfolding. This allows the lower cup tray 9 and the two pawls (i.e., the left pawl 3 and the right pawl 4) to open while the upper cup holder ring 2 moves outward, achieving pre-opening. When the upper cup holder ring 2 moves to its limit position, the lower cup tray 9, the left pawl 3, and the right pawl 4 move into place. In this invention, the left pawl 3 and the right pawl 4 move independently, and the upper cup holder ring 2 only moves horizontally, without needing to flip, thus improving strength.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the track groove 12 includes a groove 121 and a groove 122. The groove 121 is horizontally arranged, and the groove 122 is inclined. The end of the groove 122 is higher than the groove 121. The groove 122 causes the rear connecting rod 8 to rotate, which drives the lower cup tray 9 to move downward.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second track groove 13 includes a third groove 131 and a fourth groove 132, and the distance between the ends of the two third grooves 131 is less than the distance between the two fourth grooves 132.

[0030] Cao San 131 causes the ends of the left pawl 3 and the right pawl 4 to rotate outward.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, a rear connecting rod mounting block 21 is provided at the bottom of the upper cup holder ring 2. A rear sliding pin 14 is installed at the rear connecting rod mounting block 21. The rear sliding pin 14 is connected to the rear connecting rod 8. The rear ends of the rear connecting rod 8 are connected to the two sides of the upper cup holder ring 2 by connecting pins. The upper cup holder ring 2 is provided with a guide groove 22 corresponding to the connecting rod guide post 11. The rear connecting rod 8 rotates around the rear sliding pin 14, and the connecting rod guide post 11 rotates along the guide groove 22. The guide groove 22 limits the movement of the connecting rod guide post. The trajectory groove 12 drives the connecting rod guide post 11 to move.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the lower end of the upper cup holder ring 2 is provided with a front connecting rod mounting block 23, and the front connecting rod 7 is connected to the front connecting rod mounting block 23 through a front sliding pin 15. The front connecting rod 7 rotates around the front sliding pin 15.
