Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a cup holder for placing water cups, and in particular a cup holder that can be installed at multiple angles. Background Technology
[0002] As an accessory for bicycles, wheelchairs, and other vehicles or equipment, a cup holder can fix drinking containers such as cups, kettles, and water bottles to the frame, meeting the user's need to carry a cup with them without having to carry a separate backpack or pocket.
[0003] Existing cup holders typically have a fixed structure for each product, which is not very compatible with different mounting components, such as the downtube, seat tube, and armrest tube of a bicycle frame, as well as horizontal, vertical, and diagonal tubes, thick and thin tubes. They are also not very compatible with the shape and size of the cup.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a more compatible cup holder that can meet installation and usage requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water cup holder that can be installed in different states of the attached components.
[0006] Technical solution: A water cup holder compatible with multi-angle installation, including a cup holder and a buckle assembly. The buckle assembly includes a U-shaped retaining ring and a middle block. The U-shaped retaining ring is sleeved on an attachment tube. The opening of the U-shaped retaining ring is sealed with a first fastener to fix the U-shaped retaining ring to the attachment tube. One side of the U-shaped retaining ring and one side of the middle block are connected by a snap-fit structure. The snap-fit structure can change the circumferential relative position. The cup holder is connected to one side of the middle block.
[0007] Furthermore, a transition platform is provided on one side of the U-shaped retaining ring, and the outer side of the transition platform is engaged with one side of the intermediate block via a snap-fit structure. The transition platform compensates for the connection instability caused by directly setting a snap-fit structure that can change the circumferential relative position on the outer arc surface of the U-shaped retaining ring.
[0008] Furthermore, the snap-fit structure comprises an internal gear and an external gear respectively disposed on two mating surfaces. The external gear is recessed inward relative to the mating surface, while the internal gear is convex outward relative to the mating surface. The internal gear and the external gear are concentrically mated, and the internal gear meshes with the external gear circumferentially. Circumferential rotation of the internal and external gears relative to each other changes the relative angular position of the component with the internal gear and the component with the external gear.
[0009] Furthermore, the number of teeth on the internal gear is not greater than the number of teeth on the external gear, so as to maintain effective circumferential meshing and engagement between the internal and external gears.
[0010] Furthermore, an adjusting ring is provided inside the U-shaped retaining ring. The adjusting ring has an opening on its circumference. The adjusting ring is fitted onto the attachment pipe fitting, and the inner ring size of the adjusting ring matches the outer ring size of the attachment pipe fitting. For the same U-shaped retaining ring, the inner ring of the adjusting ring can be designed as a set of optional accessories according to different attachment pipe fittings, adapting to assembly and installation with different attachment pipe fittings.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner ring of the adjusting ring and the inner ring of the U-shaped retaining ring are provided with several matching grooves, the grooves being along the length direction of the U-shaped retaining ring and the adjusting ring. The inner ring of the adjusting ring is provided with several protruding ridges, the protruding ridges being along the length direction of the adjusting ring. The grooves and protruding ridges ensure that the two installed components are positioned without relative rotation.
[0012] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the slot is triangular.
[0013] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the protruding ridge is arc-shaped.
[0014] Preferably, the adjusting ring is made of a tough material. This facilitates the insertion of the adjusting ring into the U-shaped retaining ring and the attached pipe fitting during installation, and after installation, its material provides better fit, positioning, and clamping performance for the U-shaped retaining ring and the attached pipe fitting.
[0015] Furthermore, the U-shaped retaining ring, the intermediate block, and the cup holder are connected by a second fastener.
[0016] Beneficial effects: The advantages of this utility model are: the cup holder is compatible with the installation and assembly of attachment pipes of different thicknesses by setting an adjustment ring inside the U-shaped retaining ring, and is compatible with the installation and assembly of attachment pipes of different angles by a snap-fit structure that can change the relative position in the circumference. This allows the cup holder to be placed vertically to hold cups and other containers, and also allows the cup holder to be adjusted to the required angle. The assembly structure between the components is stable and secure. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] A water cup holder compatible with multi-angle installation, as shown in the attached image. Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a cup holder 1 and a buckle assembly 2. The buckle assembly 2 includes a U-shaped retaining ring 21, a middle block 22, and an adjusting ring 27.
[0020] The adjusting ring 27 has an opening 28 along its length in the circumferential direction. The adjusting ring 27 is installed inside the U-shaped retaining ring 21. The opening 28 is aligned with the opening of the U-shaped retaining ring in terms of orientation and position. The outer ring of the adjusting ring 27 fits against the inner ring of the U-shaped retaining ring 21. Several matching grooves 29 are provided between them. The grooves 29 are along the length of the U-shaped retaining ring 21 and the adjusting ring 27. The grooves 29 can be as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 , 2 The longitudinal section shown is triangular, but it can also be other shapes, which facilitates the insertion or snapping of the adjusting ring 27 into the U-shaped retaining ring 21 for installation, and ensures that the two remain in a fixed position without relative rotation after installation.
[0021] The attachment pipe fitting is inserted into the adjusting ring 27 along its length, or inserted into the adjusting ring 27 through the opening 28 and the U-shaped opening, so that the adjusting ring 27 is fitted around the circumference of the attachment pipe fitting. The inner ring size of the adjusting ring 27 matches the outer ring size of the attachment pipe fitting and is fixed circumferentially to the attachment pipe fitting. Several protruding ribs 210 are provided on the inner ring of the adjusting ring 27, and the protruding ribs 210 are along the length of the adjusting ring 27. The protruding ribs 210 can be as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 , 2 The longitudinal section shown is arc-shaped, which fixes the attached pipe fitting circumferentially and exerts a clamping force towards its centerline, forming a good covering and gripping effect. After installation, it maintains its position without relative rotation between the two. Finally, the opening of the U-shaped retaining ring 21 is sealed with the first fastener 23, further fixing the U-shaped retaining ring 21, adjusting ring 27, and attached pipe fitting. It can be seen that during installation, the U-shaped retaining ring and adjusting ring are placed with their openings facing downwards around the circumference of the attached pipe fitting, which can further prevent the attached pipe fitting from coming out of the opening.
[0022] For the same U-shaped retaining ring, the inner ring of the adjusting ring can be designed as a set of optional accessories to accommodate different attached pipe fittings. The adjusting ring can be made of a tough material, which facilitates the insertion of the adjusting ring into the U-shaped retaining ring and attached pipe fitting during installation, and also provides better fit, positioning, and clamping performance for the U-shaped retaining ring and attached pipe fitting after installation.
[0023] A transition platform 24 is provided on one side of the U-shaped retaining ring 21. The outer side of the transition platform 24 is connected to one side of the intermediate block 22 by a snap-fit structure. The snap-fit structure consists of an internal gear 25 and an external gear 26 respectively provided on the two mating surfaces. The external gear 26 is recessed inward relative to the mating surface, while the internal gear 25 is convex outward relative to the mating surface. The internal gear 25 and the external gear 26 are concentrically mated and mesh circumferentially with each other. A tooth of the internal gear 25 is inserted between two adjacent teeth of the snap-fit external gear 26. All teeth of the internal gear 25 can be inserted into the tooth gap of the snap-fit external gear 26. It can be seen that the number of teeth of the internal gear 25 can be less than the number of teeth of the external gear 26, or the same as the number of teeth of the external gear 26, so as to maintain the circumferential meshing and effective snap-fit between the internal and external gears.
[0024] As can be seen, setting up a transition platform and using the two vertical planes of the transition platform and the intermediate block as mating surfaces to set up internal and external gears can compensate for the unstable connection caused by directly setting internal or external gears on the outer arc surface of the U-shaped retainer ring, which would result in meshing and locking.
[0025] As can be seen, by rotating the middle block 22 relative to the U-shaped retaining ring 21, the circumferential relative position of the internal gear and the external gear can be changed. Finally, the cup holder 1 is connected to the other side of the middle block 22, and a second fastener 211 is set to pass through and connect the U-shaped retaining ring 21, the middle block 22, and the cup holder 1 for further fixation.
[0026] The water cup holder of this application has an adjustment ring inside the U-shaped retaining ring, which is compatible with the installation and assembly of attachment pipes of different thicknesses. Through the snap-fit structure that can change the relative position in the circumference, it is compatible with the installation and assembly of attachment pipes at different angles. This allows the cup holder to be placed vertically for water cups and other containers, and also allows the cup holder to be adjusted to the required angle. The assembly structure between the various components is stable and secure.
