Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive cup holder technology, specifically an upward-lifting cup holder. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in SUVs, sedans and other vehicles, there is an increasing amount of storage space inside the car. For example, cup holders need to be designed in various suitable locations. However, for some areas with limited horizontal space, if the cup holder is only raised horizontally, then due to the limited vertical space, it is not possible to place taller items, such as water cups. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. This utility model provides an upward-lifting cup holder that can be installed in a very small space in the vertical direction. When opened, it is convenient to place tall items such as water cups.

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

[0005] A lift-up cup holder includes a housing, a cup holder assembly, and a sliding member. A connector and a connecting rod are hinged inside the sliding member. A connecting rod connects the top of the connector and the top of the connecting rod. The lower end of the cup holder assembly is installed on the top two sides of the connector and the top of the front end of the sliding member. The sliding member is slidably connected to the housing. Two coil springs are installed at the rear end of the sliding member. One end of the coil springs is connected to the housing. A maze lock is installed on the housing. A maze needle is installed on the sliding member. One end of the maze needle is located at the maze lock.

[0006] Furthermore, the sliding component includes a sliding base plate, a sliding front plate, a sliding rear plate, and two sliding side plates. The sliding side plates connect the sliding front plate and the sliding rear plate. The height of the sliding front plate is greater than the height of the sliding rear plate. The width of the sliding base plate is greater than the outer distance between the two sliding side plates. Sliding component guide grooves are provided inside both sides of the housing. The two sides of the sliding base plate are located at the sliding component guide grooves. Connector 1 and connecting rod 1 are installed on the sliding base plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the connector is provided with rotating columns on both sides, and a torsion spring is installed on the rotating column. One end of the rotating column is installed at the sliding side plate.

[0008] Furthermore, rotating columns 2 are installed on both sides of the rear end of connector 1, and the sliding side plate is provided with a track groove 1 corresponding to the rotating column 2, with the rotating column 2 located at one of the track grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, the sliding side plate is provided with a second track groove, and the end of the second rotating column is located at the second track groove. The second track groove includes a horizontal groove and an inclined groove, and the front end of the inclined groove is lower than the connection between the horizontal groove and the inclined groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a damping mounting block is installed at the rear end of the sliding base plate, and a gear damper is installed on the top of the damping mounting block. A stabilizing groove is provided on the top of the housing, and teeth are provided at the stabilizing groove, which mesh with the gears of the gear damper.

[0011] Furthermore, the maze lock is equipped with a locking block, the slide of the maze lock is located around the locking block, and the top of the locking block is equipped with a locking groove, which is connected to the slide. When the maze needle is located in the locking groove, it is locked.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] In its folded state, the cup holder assembly, sliding parts, and all linkage components (connector one, linkage one, and linkage two) can be completely stored inside the housing, requiring only a very small vertical installation space (no extra height needs to be reserved for placing items), making it suitable for locations with limited vertical space, such as the center console and armrest box in SUVs, sedans, and other vehicles.

[0014] In the open state, after the slider slides out of the housing, the connecting part 1 rotates around the rotating column 1 under the drive of the torsion spring 1. At the same time, the rotating column 2 moves along the inclined section of the track groove 2, causing the cup holder assembly to be lifted upward, ultimately forming a sufficient vertical height to stably place tall items such as water cups and thermos cups, thus solving the height shortness of traditional horizontal sliding cup holders.

[0015] This invention ensures that the cup holder has sufficient load-bearing capacity and structural stability during use through the coordinated design of multiple components. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.

[0026] As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses an upward-lifting cup holder, including a housing 1, a cup holder assembly 2, and a sliding member 3. A connecting member 4 and a connecting rod 5 are hinged inside the sliding member 3. A connecting rod 6 connects the top of the connecting member 4 and the connecting rod 5. The lower end of the cup holder assembly 2 is installed on the top two sides of the connecting member 4 and the front top of the sliding member 3. The sliding member 3 is slidably connected to the housing 1. Two coil springs 7 are installed at the rear end of the sliding member 3. One end of the coil springs 7 is connected to the housing 1. A maze lock 8 is installed on the housing 1. A maze needle 9 is installed on the sliding member 3. One end of the maze needle 9 is located at the maze lock 8.

[0027] When the cup holder assembly 2 is not open, the slider 3 is located inside the housing 1, and the cup holder assembly 2 is retracted within the housing 1. When the cup holder assembly 2 is pushed, the slider 3 moves, and the maze pin 9 moves, unlocking the cup holder. Then, the coil spring 7 operates, driving the slider 3 to move, which in turn moves the cup holder assembly 2 along the housing 1. When the connecting piece 4 and the connecting rod 5 move to the outside of the housing 1, they flip, causing the cup holder assembly 2 to move upward. This allows the cup holder assembly 2 to be raised for placing taller items. When retracted, the entire cup holder assembly 2 is stored inside the housing 1, occupying minimal space.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the sliding member 3 includes a sliding base plate 31, a sliding front plate 32, a sliding rear plate 33, and two sliding side plates 34. The sliding side plates 34 connect the sliding front plate 32 and the sliding rear plate 33. The height of the sliding front plate 32 is greater than the height of the sliding rear plate 33. The width of the sliding base plate 31 is greater than the outer distance between the two sliding side plates 34. The two sides of the housing 1 are provided with sliding member guide grooves 101.
