First, as shown in fig. 1a and 1b, the cup holder comprises a cup holder body 1-1, a concave structure 2-1 is arranged in the middle of the cup holder body 1-1, and the concave structure 2-1 divides the inner space of the cup holder body 1-1 into two parts. However, the size of the two parts of space divided by the concave structure 2-1 cannot be adjusted, and when some cups with larger sizes are required to be placed, the two parts of space are smaller, so that the placing requirement cannot be met.

The second type is shown in fig. 2a, 2b and 2c, and the cup holder comprises a cup holder body 1-2 and a grid 3-1, wherein the grid clamping member 4-1 is arranged on the inner wall of the cup holder body 1-2, the grid 3-1 is detachably clamped in the cup holder body 1-2 through the grid clamping member 4-1 on the cup holder body 1-2, and the inner space of the cup holder body 1-2 is divided into two parts. However, the size of the space divided into two parts by the grid 3-1 cannot be adjusted, when some cups with larger sizes are required to be placed, the grid 3-1 needs to be detached from the cup holder body 1-2, but the cup holder has no supporting structure when the cup body is placed, so that the cup body is easy to topple. In addition, when the grid 4 is clamped with the cup holder body 3, blind operation cannot be performed.

Third, as shown in fig. 3a and 3b, the cup holder comprises a cup holder body 1-3 and a claw 5, wherein a concave structure 2-2 is arranged in the middle of the cup holder body 1-3, and the concave structure 2-2 divides the inner space of the cup holder body 1-3 into two parts. Firstly, the size of the space divided into two parts by the concave structure 2-2 cannot be adjusted, and the cup with larger size cannot be placed; moreover, the design of the claw 5 makes the cup body in the cup holder body 1-3 firmly placed therein, but requires more space for peripheral arrangement during the installation of the claw 5.

In the prior art, some cup holders adopt a scheme for adjusting the position of the grid. However, this structure has a problem of inconvenience in use. For example, chinese patent (publication No. CN 204222708U) discloses a cup holder with an adjustable storage cavity, which comprises a cup holder body, wherein a storage cavity for storing articles is embedded in the cup holder body; the storage device also comprises a plurality of partition boards, wherein the partition boards are movably arranged in the storage inner cavity; slide rails parallel to the inner bottom surface of the storage cavity are embedded in the two side walls of the storage cavity, sliding blocks corresponding to the slide rails are arranged on the two side walls of the partition board, and the sliding blocks are in sliding fit with the slide rails; the clamping grooves are embedded in the two side walls of the upper end of the partition plate, the U-shaped elastic rubber pads are clamped in the clamping grooves, and the length of each U-shaped elastic rubber pad is larger than the distance between the inner side wall of the clamping groove at the upper end of the partition plate and the side wall of the storage inner cavity. According to the cup stand with the adjustable partition plate, the U-shaped elastic rubber pads are arranged in the clamping grooves on the two side walls of the upper end of the partition plate to achieve the limiting function in the regulation process of the partition plate, when the partition plate needs to be positioned after being positioned relative to the cup stand body, the U-shaped elastic rubber pads need to be reversely clamped in the clamping grooves, and the length of the U-shaped elastic rubber pads is larger than the distance between the inner side walls of the clamping grooves on the upper end of the partition plate and the side walls of the storage inner cavity. Therefore, the inner side wall of the baffle plate clamping groove can be tightly propped against the side wall of the storage inner cavity through the U-shaped elastic rubber pad, and then the baffle plate can be positioned, and the operation process is complex.

Therefore, the cup holder in the prior art has the problem of inconvenient use when realizing the adjustment of the size of the two parts of the space of the cup holder body.
