Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle interior technology, and in particular to a cup holder assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In automotive design, the efficient use of interior space is becoming increasingly important. Passengers and drivers need convenient access to various beverages and drinks during their journeys, but traditional cup holder designs often fail to meet these diverse needs. This is especially true for drinks like wine, which require dedicated containers; traditional cup holders cannot provide stable support, leading to inconvenience.

[0003] Traditional cup holder designs only provide placement and securing for water glasses and beverages, lacking flexibility and failing to adapt to the placement needs of different drinks. This results in insufficient convenience and a multi-functional user experience, negatively impacting the experience for both passengers and drivers. In cases where traditional cup holders cannot accommodate wine glasses, there is a lack of suitable placement and securing locations for them within the vehicle. If wine glasses are placed on a flat surface, they are prone to tipping over while driving. Designing separate cup holders for wine glasses would require additional space, and with limited interior space, multiple independent cup holders would consume valuable space, affecting the efficient use of vehicle interior space. Therefore, an innovative cup holder solution is needed that saves space while providing multi-functional beverage placement. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present application aims to provide a cup holder assembly to offer a multifunctional cup holder structure with good practicality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows: A wine glass assembly includes a frame, and a main wine glass holder and a wine glass holder disposed on the frame; The frame is provided with a main compartment and a secondary compartment. The main glass holder and the wine glass holder are slidably disposed in the main compartment and the secondary compartment, respectively, and a linkage structure is provided between the main glass holder and the wine glass holder. A drive mechanism and a locking member are provided between the main glass holder and the frame. The main glass holder, when pushed into the main compartment, can be locked in a retracted position by the locking member. When the locking member is released, the drive mechanism can push the main glass holder out to a usable position outside the main compartment. During the process of the main glass holder being pushed out, the main glass holder can drive the wine glass holder to move at least partially out of the secondary compartment through the linkage structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the secondary compartment and the main compartment are arranged vertically adjacent to each other, and the wine glass holder is located above the main glass holder; the top of the main glass holder is provided with an upwardly protruding push plate at the end near the entrance of the main compartment, and the push plate can drive the wine glass holder into the secondary compartment during the process of the main glass holder being pushed in.

[0007] Furthermore, the linkage structure includes a linkage plate located at the top of the main cup holder away from the entrance of the main compartment, and a receiving plate located at the bottom of the wine cup holder; when the main cup holder is in the retracted position, there is a gap distance L1 between the linkage plate and the receiving plate.

[0008] Furthermore, there is an interval distance L2 between the stowed position and the used position, and the interval distance L1 is 0.5 to 0.8 times the interval distance L2.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking element is a push lock that can be released by pressing. Pushing the main cup holder in the retracted position can release the locking element from its locked state.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a coiled wheel disposed on the main cup holder and a pull strap wound on the coiled wheel; the lead end of the pull strap is connected to the frame, and the coiled wheel wound the pull strap under the force of the coiled spring, thereby generating a thrust on the main cup holder at the coiled wheel.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the main cup holder is provided with a mounting bracket at the end away from the main compartment entrance, and the coil spring wheel is mounted on the mounting bracket; the bottom of the frame is provided with a limiting platform near the main compartment entrance, and the pull strap is connected to the limiting platform; during the process of the main cup holder being pushed out, the limiting platform can be placed on the mounting bracket to define the usage position.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the secondary compartment is provided with a guide groove and a guide rack, and the bottom of the wine glass holder is provided with a guide rail and a damping gear; the guide rail is slidably disposed in the guide groove, and the damping gear meshes with the guide rack.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the main compartment is provided with two sets of slide rails at intervals. The main cup holder slides in the main compartment through the two slide rails, and the supporting force F exerted by the two slide rails on the main cup holder is directed towards the center of gravity of the main cup holder.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages: (1) The cup holder assembly of this application has two compartments, a main compartment and a secondary compartment, on the frame, so that two cup holder structures, a main cup holder and a wine cup holder, can be configured on the same frame for placing ordinary water cups and wine cups respectively; the main cup holder and the wine cup holder are linked together, so that when the main cup holder is driven out by the drive mechanism, the wine cup holder can be partially taken out, and the wine cup holder exposed in the secondary compartment can be pulled to a suitable position by hand for the wine cup to be fixedly placed; when not in use, the main cup holder and the wine cup holder can be pushed into their respective compartments, and the main cup holder can be securely locked in the compartment by the locking device, thus providing a multi-functional cup holder structure with good practicality.

[0015] (2) The wine glass holder and the main glass holder are arranged in an adjacent manner, which is compact and can effectively save the arrangement space. At the same time, the wine glass holder can be pushed by the push plate on the top of the main glass holder. When the wine glass holder and the main glass holder are not needed, the wine glass holder and the main glass holder can be pushed into their respective compartments by pushing the main glass holder.

[0016] (3) The linkage structure adopts the form of linkage plate and receiving plate. When the main cup holder moves outward from the retracted position by a distance L1, the linkage plate begins to contact the push plate. When the drive mechanism continues to drive the wine cup holder to the use position, the wine cup holder will be partially exposed outside the auxiliary compartment. At this time, the cup slot on the main cup holder has been exposed for placing water glasses. If the wine cup holder needs to be used, the wine cup holder can be pulled outward by hand to cover the cup slot. The wine glass fixing position on the wine cup holder will be exposed for placing wine glasses. The whole operation is simple and convenient, and has a good user experience.

[0017] (4) The interval L1 between the linkage plate and the receiving plate and the interval L2 between the retracted position and the use position are set in an appropriate ratio multiple so that the main cup holder has an appropriate idle movement distance. This distance is also the distance that the main cup holder is exposed on the outside of the wine glass holder when it moves to the use position, providing sufficient space for the setting of the cup slot on the main cup holder.

[0018] (5) The locking mechanism is a push lock, which can be easily unlocked by pressing the panel of the main cup holder, making the pushing and moving of the main cup holder more convenient.

[0019] (6) The drive mechanism adopts a combination of a coiled wheel and a pull belt. The coiled spring in the coiled wheel drives the main cup holder to move out, which can achieve the effect of automatic pop-out of the main cup holder. It does not require the configuration of a motor or other power device, which not only has low overall cost, but also provides a good user experience.

[0020] (7) By setting the mounting bracket at an appropriate position at the bottom of the main cup holder, good conditions are provided for the installation of the coil spring wheel; the setting of the upper limit platform of the skeleton provides conditions for the connection and fixation of the pull belt lead-out end. Moreover, during the process of the coil spring wheel winding the pull belt, a driving force can be generated to move the main cup holder outward. When the pull belt is wound into place, the mounting bracket and the limit platform abut together. At this time, the main cup holder moves to the use position, forming a good limiting effect.

[0021] (8) A guide groove and a guide rack are set at the bottom of the secondary compartment. By using the guide rail at the bottom of the wine glass holder and the guide groove, the movement of the wine glass holder in the secondary compartment can be well guided. The guide rack, in conjunction with the damping gear set at the bottom of the wine glass holder, can form a good damping effect during the movement of the wine glass holder, and can also prevent the wine glass holder from playing around in the secondary compartment and causing abnormal noise.

[0022] (9) By setting a slide rail between the main compartment and the main cup holder, the resistance of the main cup holder during movement can be reduced, ensuring a smoother process for the main cup holder to move in and out of the main compartment. Two sets of slide rails are arranged at intervals and in an inward-sloping arrangement so that the supporting force F of the slide rail on the main cup holder is directed towards the center of gravity of the main cup holder. This not only effectively prevents the main cup holder from sliding left and right, but also helps to further improve the guiding sliding effect of the slide rail.

[0023] Another object of this application is to provide a vehicle equipped with the cup holder assembly described in this application. The vehicle of this application possesses the technical advantages of the aforementioned cup holder assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0031] In automotive design, the efficient use of interior space is becoming increasingly important. Passengers and drivers need convenient access to various beverages and drinks during their journeys, but traditional cup holder designs often fail to meet these diverse needs. This is especially true for drinks like wine, which require dedicated containers; traditional cup holders cannot provide stable support, leading to inconvenience.

[0032] Traditional cup holder designs only provide placement and securing for water glasses and beverages, lacking flexibility and failing to adapt to the placement needs of different drinks. This results in insufficient convenience and a multi-functional user experience, negatively impacting the experience for both passengers and drivers. In cases where traditional cup holders cannot accommodate wine glasses, there is a lack of suitable placement and securing locations for them within the vehicle. If wine glasses are placed on a flat surface, they are prone to tipping over while driving. Designing separate cup holders for wine glasses would require additional space, and with limited interior space, multiple independent cup holders would consume valuable space, affecting the efficient use of vehicle interior space. Therefore, an innovative cup holder solution is needed that saves space while providing multi-functional beverage placement.

[0033] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the related technologies, this application innovatively proposes a brand-new cup holder assembly, which has the characteristics of a multi-functional cup for holding ordinary water cups and wine glasses, and has good practicality.

[0034] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0035] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a cup holder assembly for placing ordinary water cups and wine glasses in a vehicle; one exemplary structure is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0036] Overall, the cup holder assembly includes a frame 1, and a main cup holder 2 and a wine glass holder 3 mounted on the frame 1. The frame 1 has a main compartment 10 and a secondary compartment 11. The main cup holder 2 and the wine glass holder 3 are slidably disposed within the main compartment 10 and the secondary compartment 11, respectively, and are connected by a linkage mechanism. A drive mechanism 6 and a locking element 5 are provided between the main cup holder 2 and the frame 1. When the main cup holder 2 is pushed into the main compartment 10, it can be locked in a retracted position by the locking element 5. When the locking element 5 is released, the drive mechanism 6 can push the main cup holder 2 out of the main compartment 10 to a usable position. During the pushing process, the main cup holder 2 can, through the linkage mechanism, at least partially move the wine glass holder 3 out of the secondary compartment 11.

[0037] Based on the overall design concept described above, by setting two compartments, a main compartment 10 and a secondary compartment 11, on the frame 1, two sets of cup holder structures, a main cup holder 2 and a wine cup holder 3, can be configured on the same frame 1 for placing ordinary water glasses and wine glasses respectively. The main cup holder 2 and the wine cup holder 3 are linked together. When the main cup holder 2 is driven out by the drive mechanism 6, the wine cup holder 3 can be partially pulled out, and the wine cup holder 3 exposed in the secondary compartment 11 can be pulled to a suitable position by hand for fixing the wine glass. When not in use, the main cup holder 2 and the wine cup holder 3 can be pushed into their respective compartments, and the main cup holder 2 can be securely locked in the compartment using the locking part 5, thus providing a multi-functional cup holder structure with good practicality.

[0038] It should be noted that, based on the above overall design concept, the technical solution of this application can adopt a variety of different specific implementation structures, forms, or configuration sequences. For example, the drive mechanism 6 can be driven by a motor or by a spring; the locking component 5 can adopt a conventional locking structure or a mature push lock product that can be unlocked by pressing. The specific arrangement sequence and assembly method of the main cup holder 2, wine glass holder 3, locking component 5, and drive mechanism 6 on the frame 1 can also be flexibly adjusted. For parts required for the implementation of the overall solution but not covered in the above overall setup, reasonable and flexible designs can be made by referring to mature setup methods in the field and the actual situation during implementation, which will not be elaborated here. The specific implementation scheme described below in this embodiment is only one of the many solutions that can be formed by the above various combinations and variations. In actual implementation, those skilled in the art can make flexible adjustments and improvements based on the actual situation. Obviously, the various solutions that can be formed by the above specific combinations and variations, as well as the specific implementation scheme of this embodiment, are all within the protection scope of this application.

[0039] There are, of course, various technical solutions to be chosen for the specific arrangement of the main glass holder 2 and the wine glass holder 3 on the frame 1. In this embodiment, in order to obtain better technical effects, the following arrangement is preferred.

[0040] continue Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the secondary compartment 11 and the main compartment 10 are arranged vertically adjacent to each other, with the wine glass holder 3 positioned above the main glass holder 2. Simultaneously, a protruding push plate 201 is provided at the top of the main glass holder 2 near the entrance of the main compartment 10. During the process of pushing the main glass holder 2 in, the push plate 201 can move the wine glass holder 3 into the secondary compartment 11. The vertically adjacent arrangement of the wine glass holder 3 and the main glass holder 2 results in a compact structure that effectively saves space. Furthermore, the push plate 201 on the top of the main glass holder 2 can push the wine glass holder 3 forward. When the wine glass holder 3 and the main glass holder 2 are not needed, simply pushing the main glass holder 2 will push both the wine glass holder 3 and the main glass holder 2 into their respective compartments.

[0041] Regarding the aforementioned configuration, in specific implementation and application, mature methods or products in this field can be utilized, and adjustments can be made based on factors such as ease of implementation, rationality, and applicability. In this embodiment, as... Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the main glass holder 2 includes a body 20 and a panel 21. The panel 21 is located on the side of the main glass holder 2 exposed at the entrance of the main compartment 10, while the push plate 201 can be integrally formed on the body 20. The panel 21 can simultaneously cover both the body 20 of the main glass holder 2 and the wine glass holder 3, achieving a good decorative effect. One or more glass slots 200 can be provided on the body 20 for placing ordinary water glasses.

[0042] Based on the above settings, and in combination with Figures 6 to 11 As shown, the linkage structure in this embodiment includes a linkage plate 22 located at the top of the main wine holder 2, away from the entrance of the main compartment 10, and a receiving plate 32 located at the bottom of the wine glass holder 3. Figure 11 As shown, when the main cup holder 2 is in the retracted position, there is a gap distance L1 between the linkage plate 22 and the receiving plate 32. The distance by which the main cup holder 2 can be moved from the retracted position to the used position by the drive mechanism 6 is as follows: Figure 10 The interval distance L2 shown refers to the distance between the stowed position and the used position. Preferably, the interval distance L1 can be set to 0.5 to 0.8 times the interval distance L2.

[0043] The linkage structure adopts the form of the linkage plate 22 and the receiving plate 32. When the main cup holder 2 moves outward by a distance L1 from the retracted position, the linkage plate 22 begins to contact the push plate 201. When the drive mechanism 6 continues to drive the wine cup holder 3 to move outward to the use position, the wine cup holder 3 will be partially exposed outside the auxiliary compartment 11. At this time, the cup groove 200 on the main cup holder 2 has been exposed for placing water glasses. If the wine cup holder 3 is to be used, the wine cup holder 3 can be pulled outward to cover the cup groove 200, and the wine glass fixing position 31 on the wine cup holder 3 will be exposed for placing wine glasses. The whole operation is simple and convenient, and has a good user experience.

[0044] Furthermore, the interval L1 between the linkage plate 22 and the receiving plate 32 is set in an appropriate proportional multiple to the interval L2 between the retracted position and the use position, so that the main cup holder 2 has an appropriate free-spinning movement distance. This distance is also the distance at which the main cup holder 2 is exposed outside the wine glass holder 3 when it moves to the use position, providing sufficient space for the setting of the cup groove 200 on the main cup holder 2. Figure 2 As can be seen, the difference between the interval distance L2 and the interval distance L1 is the distance that the wine glass holder 3 can be moved out of the auxiliary compartment 11 by the main glass holder 2. This moving part ensures that the wine glass holder 3 can be smoothly pulled out manually, and the operation of manually pulling the wine glass holder 3 can be made more convenient by setting a pull groove 300 on this moving part.

[0045] Regarding the specific design of the wine glass fixing position 31, there are certainly various technical solutions available; for example, a slot or recessed groove structure can be used. However, to achieve a superior technical effect, the following design is preferred. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the wine glass holder 3 of this embodiment has a plate-shaped support plate 30. The wine glass fixing position 31 includes a circular recess 310 disposed on the support plate 30. A semi-circular protective cover 311 is provided on one side edge of the recess 310, and a barrier 312 is provided on the other side edge. An insertion channel 313 for placing the wine glass into the recess 310 is provided between the protective cover 311 and the barrier 312. When the wine glass is placed into the recess 310, the protective cover 311 and the barrier 312 can jointly limit the base of the wine glass within the recess 310, and the wine glass will not move up, down, left, or right, thus having a good glass fixing effect. In addition, to avoid hard contact when the linkage plate 22 and the receiving plate 32 come into contact, and when the main cup holder 2 and the wine cup holder 3 move into place, a first buffer body 220 can be set on the linkage plate 22, and the receiving plate 32 is contacted through the first buffer body 220; several second buffer bodies 23 are set at the end of the main body 20 away from the panel 21, and several third buffer bodies 33 are set at the inner end of the wine cup holder 3, so that when the main cup holder 2 and the wine cup holder 3 move into place, a buffer is formed between them and the frame 1, which also avoids the situation where hard contact is prone to causing abnormal noise.

[0046] As mentioned above, the locking member 5 can adopt a conventional locking structure or a mature push lock product that can be unlocked by pressing. In this embodiment, the locking member 5 adopts a push lock that can be unlocked by pressing. Pushing the main cup holder 2 in the retracted position can release the locked state of the locking member 5. The locking member 5 adopts a push lock, which can be easily unlocked by pressing the panel 21 of the main cup holder 2, making the pushing and moving operation of the main cup holder 2 more convenient.

[0047] For the configuration of drive mechanism 6, the following scheme is preferred. For example... Figure 5 and combined Figure 10 As shown, the drive mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a coiled wheel 61 mounted on the main cup holder 2 and a pull strap 60 wound around the coiled wheel 61. The lead end of the pull strap 60 is connected to the frame 1. The coiled wheel 61 winds up the pull strap 60 under the force of the coiled spring, creating a pushing force on the main cup holder 2 at the coiled wheel 61. The drive mechanism 6 uses the cooperation of the coiled wheel 61 and the pull strap 60, utilizing the coiled spring in the coiled wheel 61 to drive the main cup holder 2 out, achieving the effect of automatic pop-out of the main cup holder 2. It eliminates the need for a motor or other power device, resulting in low overall cost and a good user experience.

[0048] Of course, there are various technical solutions available for the specific mounting of the coil spring wheel 61 on the mounting bracket 24; for example, it can be screwed, snap-fitted, or other forms. However, in this embodiment, the mounting bracket 24 is provided at the bottom of the main cup holder 2 away from the entrance of the main compartment 10, and the coil spring wheel 61 is snapped onto the mounting bracket 24. At the same time, a limiting platform 12 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1 near the entrance of the main compartment 10, and the pull strap 60 is connected to the limiting platform 12; during the process of the main cup holder 2 being pushed out, the limiting platform 12 can be placed on the mounting bracket 24 to limit the usage position. By setting the mounting bracket 24 at an appropriate position at the bottom of the main cup holder 2, good conditions are provided for the mounting of the coil spring wheel 61; the setting of the limiting platform 12 on the frame 1 provides conditions for the connection and fixation of the lead-out end of the pull strap 60. Moreover, during the process of the coil spring wheel 61 winding up the pull belt 60, a driving force is generated to move the main cup holder 2 outward. When the pull belt 60 is wound into place, the mounting bracket 24 and the limiting platform 12 abut together. At this time, the main cup holder 2 moves to the use position, forming a good limiting effect.

[0049] In the above-mentioned configuration, in specific implementation, a slot 240 can be provided on the mounting bracket 24, and the pins on both sides of the coil spring wheel 61 can be inserted into the corresponding slot 240 to achieve quick assembly of the coil spring wheel 61 on the mounting bracket 24.

[0050] In addition, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, as a preferred exemplary implementation among various feasible solutions, the bottom of the secondary compartment 11 is provided with a guide groove 110 and a guide rack 111, and the bottom of the wine glass holder 3 is provided with a guide rail 34 and a damping gear 35. When the wine glass holder 3 is assembled into the secondary compartment 11, the guide rail 34 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 110, and the damping gear 35 meshes with the guide rack 111. The guide groove 110 and guide rack 111 at the bottom of the secondary compartment 11, with the cooperation of the guide rail 34 at the bottom of the wine glass holder 3 and the guide groove 110, allow the movement of the wine glass holder 3 in the secondary compartment 11 to have good guidance; the guide rack 111, in cooperation with the damping gear 35 at the bottom of the wine glass holder 3, can form a good damping effect during the movement of the wine glass holder 3, and can also prevent the wine glass holder 3 from playing around in the secondary compartment 11 and causing abnormal noise.

[0051] Based on the above configuration, in order to improve the smoothness of the movement of the wine glass holder 3 in the secondary compartment 11, a track 112 can be set at the bottom of the secondary compartment 11, and a ball bearing 36 can be set at the bottom of the wine glass holder 3 accordingly. When the ball bearing 36 rolls in the track 112, it can not only provide good support for the wine glass holder 3, but also ensure the smoothness of the movement of the wine glass holder 3.

[0052] Regarding the arrangement of the main cup holder 2, two sets of slide rails 4 can be spaced apart at the bottom of the main compartment 10, allowing the main cup holder 2 to be slidably positioned within the main compartment 10 via the two slide rails 4. Preferably, as follows... Figure 9 As shown, when installing the slide rails 4, the supporting force F exerted by the two sets of slide rails 4 on the main cup holder 2 can be directed towards the center of gravity of the main cup holder 2. By setting the slide rails 4 between the main compartment 10 and the main cup holder 2, the resistance of the main cup holder 2 during movement can be reduced, ensuring a smoother process for the main cup holder 2 to move in and out of the main compartment 10. Arranging two sets of slide rails 4 at intervals and using an inward tilting arrangement, so that the supporting force F of the slide rails 4 on the main cup holder 2 is directed towards the center of gravity of the main cup holder 2, not only can the left and right sliding of the main cup holder 2 be effectively prevented, but it is also beneficial to further improve the guiding sliding effect of the slide rails 4.

[0053] Regarding the above-mentioned configuration, in the specific implementation and application process, the two sets of slide rails 4 are preferably arranged in a symmetrical manner. A fixed rail mounting platform 100 can be set on the frame 1, and the fixed rail 40 in the slide rail 4 can be installed on the fixed rail mounting platform 100. Correspondingly, a moving rail mounting platform 202 is set at the bottom of the main cup holder 2, and the sliding rail 41 in the slide rail 4 can be installed on the moving rail mounting platform 202.

[0054] Based on the above exemplary embodiments, as a preferred combination of the exemplary solutions, refer to Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the following partial structural scheme can be referred to when implementing the cup holder assembly of this application: The cup holder assembly mainly consists of three parts: a frame 1, a main cup holder 2, and a wine glass holder 3. A push-lock mechanism is used between the main cup holder 2 and the frame 1 to lock the main cup holder 2 in place and to pop it out when the panel 21 is pressed. The drive mechanism 6 mainly includes a spring wheel 61 with a pull strap 60 wound around it. The spring wheel 61 is fitted into a slot 240 on the mounting bracket 24, ensuring both structural strength and ease of assembly, disassembly, and maintenance. Utilizing the elastic potential energy of the spring in the spring wheel 61, the pull strap 60, pulled out when the main cup holder 2 is pushed in, can be automatically wound up. After the locking element 5 is unlocked, the spring wheel 61 begins to wound up the pull strap 60, thereby moving the main cup holder 2 outward from the main compartment 10, resulting in the automatic pop-out effect of the main cup holder 2. To ensure smooth sliding of the main cup holder 2 within the main compartment 10, the slide rail 4 between the main cup holder 2 and the bottom of the main compartment 10 is arranged at a 25° inclination towards the interior of the main compartment 10. The fixed rail 40 and the sliding rail 41 in the slide rail 4 are respectively fixed to the frame 1 and the main cup holder 2, and can be fixed with bolts. The inward inclination of the slide rail 4 ensures that the supporting force F provided by the slide rail 4 is directed towards the center of the main cup holder 2, which can minimize the frictional resistance of the slide rail 4 and concentrate the stress of the main cup holder 2 in the central area, thus ensuring the stability of the movement and the structural strength of the main cup holder 2.

[0055] Based on the overall setup described above, the working principle of the cup holder assembly in this embodiment is as follows: When using the cup holder assembly, if the cup holder is needed, press the panel 21 of the main cup holder 2 firmly to unlock the locking element 5. With the main cup holder 2 in the unlocked state, the coil spring wheel 61 begins to wind up the pull strap 60, creating a pull on the coil spring wheel 61. The coil spring wheel 61 then provides an outward pushing force to the main cup holder 2, pushing it to slide out of the main compartment 10 along the slide rail 4. When the main cup holder 2 slides to the interval distance L1, the first buffer 220 set on the linkage plate 22 begins to contact the receiving plate 32 at the bottom of the wine glass holder 3. As the main cup holder 2 continues to move outward, it drives the wine glass holder 3 to slide outward synchronously through the linkage plate 22.

[0056] When the main cup holder 2 moves by the interval distance L2, the main cup holder 2 reaches the following position: Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the cup slot 200 on the main cup holder 2 can be used to place ordinary water glasses, bottles, etc. If a wine glass holder 3 is needed, a hand can be inserted into the pull groove 300 on the wine glass holder 3 to pull the wine glass holder 3 further outward, so that the wine glass holder 3 covers the cup slot 200 of the main cup holder 2, and the wine glass fixing position 31 on the wine glass holder 3 is fully exposed, and it can then be used to place wine glasses.

[0057] Because of the meshing structure of damping gear 35 and guide rack 111 between wine glass holder 3 and secondary compartment 11, wine glass holder 3 has a certain damping effect during sliding, ensuring the stability of sliding wine glass holder 3.

[0058] When the water glass is no longer needed, press down firmly on the panel 21 of the main glass holder 2 to push it completely into the main compartment 10. At the same time, the main glass holder 2 will also move the wine glass holder 3 into the secondary compartment 11 via the push plate 201 on its top. This will retract both the main glass holder 2 and the wine glass holder 3. When the main glass holder 2 moves inward to the retracted position, the locking piece 5 is activated, locking the main glass holder 2 in the main compartment 10. The wine glass holder 3 will also be blocked in the secondary compartment 11 by the push plate 201, thus completing the closing action of the glass holder assembly.

[0059] In summary, the cup holder assembly of this embodiment, by setting two compartments, a main compartment 10 and a secondary compartment 11, on the frame 1, allows for the configuration of two cup holder structures, a main cup holder 2 and a wine cup holder 3, on the same frame 1, for the separate placement of ordinary water glasses and wine glasses. The main cup holder 2 and the wine cup holder 3 are linked together; when the main cup holder 2 is driven out by the drive mechanism 6, the wine cup holder 3 can be partially pulled out, exposing the wine cup holder 3 in the secondary compartment 11, which can be pulled to a suitable position by hand for the wine glass to be fixedly placed. When not in use, the main cup holder 2 and the wine cup holder 3 can be pushed into their respective compartments, and the locking member 5 securely locks the main cup holder 2 in the compartment, thus providing a multifunctional cup holder structure with good practicality.

[0060] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a vehicle equipped with a cup holder assembly provided in the embodiment of the first aspect of this application.

[0061] By configuring the cup holder assembly of this application in the vehicle's passenger compartment, and adopting a modular design and a linked drive system, the integration of a regular in-vehicle cup holder and a wine cup holder is achieved. This not only provides a multi-functional solution for placing and securing water cups and utensils, but also saves interior space and improves ease of use.

[0062] The modular design integrates the standard in-vehicle cup holder and the wine cup holder onto the same frame 1, significantly saving interior space. The drive mechanism 6 uses a spring-driven design, eliminating the need for an electric drive unit. Through the linkage structure, the main cup holder 2 and the wine cup holder 3 can be automatically ejected. The guide and damping structures between the wine cup holder 3 and its secondary compartment 11 ensure smooth sliding of the wine cup holder 3 and prevent any play or abnormal noise during sliding.

[0063] Based on the cup holder assembly of this application, a temperature control function can also be integrated into the cup holder assembly, enabling the cup holder to have heating or cooling capabilities to meet the temperature adjustment needs of different beverages. Simultaneously, an intelligent recognition function can be added to the cup holder, automatically identifying the type of beverage placed on it through a camera or sensor and automatically adjusting the state of the cup holder accordingly.
