Description

  The present invention relates to a cup holder for holding a container.

  The vehicle is provided with a cup holder that can hold a beverage container. A general cup holder has a case with an upper opening, and the inside of the case serves as a storage space in which a beverage container can be stored.

  By the way, there are various types of beverage containers from low to high. Examples of the beverage container having a low height include a can-type beverage container and a small paper cup, and examples of the container having a high length include a plastic bottle and a large paper cup. Therefore, the cup holder is required to be capable of holding beverage containers of these various shapes.

  In order to meet this demand, in recent years, a raised-bottom cup holder has been proposed that can hold the bottom surface of a beverage container at two positions, a shallow position and a deep position in the storage space (Patent Document 1). The cup holder of patent document 1 has an intermediate | middle board which can be expand | deployed in parallel with the bottom part of a case above the bottom part of a case. One end of the intermediate plate is a free end, and the other end is swingably supported on the side wall portion of the case. The swing plate expands into the housing space of the case and retreats from the housing space.

  When the intermediate plate is developed in the accommodation space, the bottom surface of the beverage container can be placed on the developed intermediate plate above the bottom of the case. Therefore, the cup holder can hold a beverage container having a low height at a relatively shallow position. On the other hand, when the intermediate plate is retracted from the storage space, the bottom surface of the beverage container can be placed on the bottom of the case. Thus, the cup holder can hold a tall beverage container at a relatively deep position.

  In the cup holder of Patent Document 1, in order to expand the intermediate plate, the user needs to directly operate the intermediate plate by putting his hand into the case. Further, in order to retract the intermediate plate, the operator needs to operate a lock mechanism in which a plurality of members are combined. That is, in the operation of using and not using the intermediate plate, one of the operators directly swings the intermediate plate, and the other operates the lock mechanism to indirectly swing the intermediate plate. It is a different operation method. Therefore, the operation method of the cup holder of Patent Document 1 is difficult to understand for the operator, and there is a problem that the operability is inferior.

  Moreover, the lock mechanism used for the cup holder of patent document 1 is a lock release button, a transmission member that transmits the operation of the lock release button, a return spring that returns the transmission member, and a vertical movement of the transmission member. It consists of a slope part to be converted into an operation, a lock piece integrally formed on the slope part, and a spring for biasing the lock piece to the lock position. Thus, in the cup holder of patent document 1, since a locking mechanism consists of a plurality of members, the number of parts has increased.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the holding position means a position where the holding main body 61 is engaged with a holding main body stopper 22 e formed on the side wall portion 22 and arranged along the vertical direction. At this time, the holding main body stopper 22e receives the urging force of the holding urging member 63 and restricts the swinging of the holding main body 61.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the retracted position means that the holding body 61 swings forward about the connecting shaft 62 that is a swing shaft, and tilts forward from below to above. Means position. At this time, the pressure receiving portion 64 on the swinging tip side of the holding main body 61 is pressed by the pressing portion 55 of the link main body 51. That is, the holding main body 61 is inclined forward against the urging force of the holding urging member 63.

  In the holding body 61 in the holding position, the pressure receiving portion 64 of the holding body 61 has advanced into the swinging region of the link body 51 of the link member 5, and the support portion 65 of the holding body 61 is the flap portion 31 of the intermediate plate 3. The company has entered the swing area. At this time, the support part 65 is supporting the lower surface of the flap part 31 of the intermediate | middle board 3 in a use position. At this time, in the present embodiment, the pressure receiving portion 64 is not in contact with the link main body 51.

  In the holding body 61 in the retracted position, the pressure receiving portion 64 of the holding body 61 is retracted from the swinging region of the link body 51 of the link member 5, and the support portion 65 of the holding body 61 is the flap portion 31 of the intermediate plate 3.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1-6, operation | movement of each above-described component is demonstrated centering on operation | movement of the use position of the intermediate | middle board 3 in the cup holder of the said embodiment, and a non-use position.

(Use position of intermediate plate 3)
1 and 3 show the use position of the intermediate plate 3. At the use position of the intermediate plate 3, the flap portion 31 and the arm portion 32 are substantially parallel to the bottom portion 21 of the case 2, and the flap portion 31 is developed in the accommodation space 20. At this time, the operation projection 43 of the operation body 41 is located at the front end of the upper notch 24 a of the case 2. The operation hole one end 45a of the operation hole 45 is locked to the operation main body stopper 22d. Therefore, the operation body 41 is restricted from further rotation in the clockwise direction in FIG.

  In the use position of the intermediate plate 3, the link main body 51 of the link member 5 is disposed so as to be substantially parallel to the intermediate plate 3. At this time, the arm protrusion 32 a provided on the arm portion 32 of the intermediate plate 3 is located in the first guide hole 54 a of the link engaging portion 54. Specifically, the arm protrusion 32a is locked to the guide one end 54c of the first guide hole 54a.

  The holding member 6 holds the intermediate plate 3 at the use position of the intermediate plate 3. Specifically, the support portions 65 of the holding body 61 projecting into the accommodation space 20 from the left and right side wall portions 22 (the right side wall portion 221 and the left side wall portion 222) are the left and right ends on the swing tip side of the flap portion 31. Are supported from the lower surface side of the flap portion 31. At this time, the pressure receiving portion 64 of the holding main body 61 is not in contact with the pressing portion 55 of the link main body 51. Thus, the cup holder 1 is in a shallow state and is in a state suitable for accommodating a beverage container having a low height.

(Non-use position of intermediate plate 3)
2 and 6 show the state of the intermediate plate 3 in the non-use position. At the non-use position of the intermediate plate 3, the flap portion 31 and the arm portion 32 of the intermediate plate 3 are substantially perpendicular to the bottom portion 21 of the case 2, and the flap portion 31 is retracted from the accommodation space 20. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the flap portion 31 is disposed along the vertical direction from the intermediate plate shaft 33 toward the bottom portion 21. At this time, the operation projection 43 of the operation body 41 is located at the rear end of the upper cutout 24 a of the case 2. The operation hole other end 45b of the operation hole 45 is locked to the operation main body stopper 22d. Therefore, the operation body 41 is restricted from further rotation in the counterclockwise direction in FIG.

  In the non-use position of the intermediate plate 3, the link body 51 of the link member 5 is disposed so as to be substantially parallel to the intermediate plate 3. At this time, the arm protrusion 32 a provided on the arm portion 32 of the intermediate plate 3 is located in the second guide hole 54 b of the link engaging portion 54. Specifically, the arm protrusion 32a is locked to the guide other end 54d of the second guide hole 54b. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, in the non-use position of the intermediate | middle board 3, the holding member 6 does not contact the intermediate | middle board 3, but is located in the holding | maintenance position. Thus, the cup holder 1 is in a deep bottom state, and is in a state suitable for accommodating a tall beverage container.

(Position change of intermediate plate 3 from use position to non-use position)
A change in position of the intermediate plate 3 from the use position to the non-use position will be described. Here, in the position change from the use position of the intermediate plate 3 to the non-use position, the relationship between the operation member 4, the link member 5, and the holding member 6 will be described first, and the relationship between the link member 5 and the intermediate plate 3 will be described later. explain.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3, in the cup holder 1 of the present embodiment in which the intermediate plate 3 is in the use position, the operator pushes the operation protrusion 43 that is exposed from the opening peripheral edge 23 of the case 2 from the front end. Move toward the rear edge. Then, the operation main body 41 rotates counterclockwise. When the operation main body 41 is rotated, the operation tooth row portion 44 is similarly rotated in the counterclockwise direction to rotate the link gear portion 53 that meshes with the operation tooth row portion 44 in the clockwise direction.

  As the link gear portion 53 rotates in the clockwise direction, the link main body 51 starts swinging in the clockwise direction. Specifically, the link main body 51 swings so that the swing front end side rotates downward with the link shaft 52 as the center of swing.

  When the link main body 51 is swung through the operation member 4 by the operation of the operator, the pressing portion 55 on the rocking front end side of the link main body 51 is swung front end of the holding main body 61 located at the holding position. It contacts the pressure receiving part 64 on the side, and then presses the pressure receiving part 64. Specifically, when the link body 51 swings to a predetermined position, the second pressing surface 55 b of the pressing portion 55 of the link body 51 comes into contact with the first pressure receiving surface 64 a of the pressure receiving portion 64 of the holding body 61. Then, the first pressure receiving surface 64a is pressed.

  When the operator further operates the operation projection 43 toward the rear end side of the upper notch 24 a, the link body 51 further swings via the operation member 4. At this time, the second pressing surface 55b of the link main body 51 presses the first pressure receiving surface 64a of the holding main body 61 and moves the holding main body 61 toward the retracted position while resisting the biasing force of the holding biasing member 63. . Here, as the link body 51 swings, the first pressure receiving surface 64a of the holding body 61 relatively slides on the second pressing surface 55b and reaches the intermediate pressing surface 55c.

  After the first pressure receiving surface 64a of the holding main body 61 reaches the intermediate pressing surface 55c of the link main body 51, the first pressure receiving surface 64a of the holding main body 61 moves on the intermediate pressing surface 55c as the link main body 51 further swings. Slide relatively. Here, while the first pressure receiving surface 64a slides relatively on the intermediate pressing surface 55c, the holding body 61 is located at the retracted position.

  When the operator further operates the operation projection 43 toward the rear end side of the upper notch 24a, the first pressure receiving surface 64a of the holding body 61 exceeds the intermediate pressing surface 55c. Then, the second pressure receiving surface 64 b of the holding body 61 is slid relative to the first pressing surface 55 a of the link body 51. At this time, the holding body 61 swings according to the urging force of the holding urging member 63 and changes its position from the retracted position toward the holding position.

  Thereafter, the link body 51 is further swung, whereby the engagement between the second pressure receiving surface 64b of the holding body 61 and the first pressing surface 55a of the link body 51 is released. Then, the holding main body 61 that has been moved according to the urging force of the holding urging member 63 is locked by the holding main body stopper 22e and positioned at the holding position.

  After the engagement between the second pressure receiving surface 64b of the holding main body 61 and the first pressing surface 55a of the link main body 51 is released, the link main body 51 becomes a side wall of the case 2 by further operation of the operation member 4 by the operator. It swings until it is locked to the link main body stopper 22c provided in the portion 22. When the link body 51 is locked to the link body stopper 22c, the link body 51 is in the second position. At this time, the operation projection 43 of the operation body 41 is located at the rear end of the upper cutout 24a. Further, in the operation hole 45 of the operation main body 41, the operation hole other end 45b is locked to the operation main body stopper 22d. Thereby, the operation body 41 is further restricted from rotating counterclockwise.

  Next, the relationship between the link member 5 and the intermediate plate 3 in the position change of the intermediate plate 3 from the use position to the non-use position will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, in the link engaging portion 54 at the use position of the intermediate plate 3, the arm protrusion 32a is located at the guide one end 54c of the first guide hole 54a. At this time, the arm protrusion 32a is locked to the guide one end 54c.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the link main body 51 starts swinging, the arm protrusion 32 a in the arm portion 32 of the intermediate plate 3 is moved by the first guide of the link engaging portion 54 as the link main body 51 swings. The holes 54a are moved relative to each other.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first guide hole 54 a of the link engaging portion 54 is a through hole extending in the track circumferential direction. Therefore, while the arm protrusion 32a moves relative to the first guide hole 54a from the guide one end 54c to the guide bent part 54e, the link engaging part 54 presses the arm protrusion 32a toward the non-use position of the intermediate plate 3. Therefore, the intermediate plate 3 is in a use position without swinging. That is, the operation of the operator transmitted from the operation member 4 is not transmitted to the intermediate plate 3 via the link body 51.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the link main body 51 swings, and the arm protrusion 32a relatively moves along the first guide hole 54a and reaches the guide bent portion 54e, the link main body 51 swings thereafter. Accordingly, the arm protrusion 32a is guided to the second guide hole 54b. At this time, since the second guide hole 54b is a through-hole extending in the locus radial direction as shown in FIG. 4, the inner surface of the second guide hole 54b causes the arm protrusion 32a to become the intermediate plate as the link body 51 swings. 3 toward the non-use position. Thereby, the arm part 32 and the flap part 31 start swinging together with the link body 51. That is, the intermediate plate 3 starts to change in position from the use position to the non-use position.

  As shown in FIG. 5, after the arm portion 32 and the flap portion 31 start swinging, the arm protrusion 32a is pressed against the inner surface of the second guide hole 54b as the link body 51 further swings. 2 Guided toward the other end 54d of the guide hole 54b. As shown in FIG. 6, when the link main body 51 is locked to the link main body stopper 22c and is in the second position, the arm protrusion 32a is positioned at the guide other end 54d of the second guide hole 54b, and The intermediate plate 3 is in a non-use position. Thus, the intermediate plate 3 completes the position change from the use position to the non-use position.

(Position change of the intermediate plate 3 from the non-use position to the use position)
A change in the position of the intermediate plate 3 from the non-use position to the use position will be described. Here, in the position change of the intermediate plate 3 from the non-use position to the use position, the relationship between the operation member 4, the link member 5, and the holding member 6 will be described first, and the link member 5 and the intermediate member will be described later. The relationship between the plates 3 will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6, in the cup holder 1 of the present embodiment in which the intermediate plate 3 is in the non-use position, the operator moves the operation protrusion 43 that is exposed from the opening peripheral edge 23 of the case 2 to the rear. Move from end to front end. Then, the operation main body 41 rotates in the clockwise direction. When the operation main body 41 is rotated, the operation tooth row portion 44 is similarly rotated in the clockwise direction, and the link gear portion 53 engaged with the operation tooth row portion 44 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction.

  As the link gear portion 53 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the link main body 51 starts swinging in the counterclockwise direction. Specifically, the link main body 51 swings such that the swing tip side rotates upward with the link shaft 52 as the center of swing.

  When the link main body 51 is swung to a predetermined position via the operation member 4 by the operation of the operator, the pressing portion 55 on the rocking tip side of the link main body 51 is held at the holding position. Is in contact with the pressure receiving portion 64 on the rocking tip side, and then the pressure receiving portion 64 is pressed (FIG. 5). Specifically, when the link main body 51 swings to a predetermined position, the first pressing surface 55 a of the pressing portion 55 of the link main body 51 contacts the second pressure receiving surface 64 b of the pressure receiving portion 64 of the holding main body 61. Then, the second pressure receiving surface 64b is pressed.

  When the operator further operates the operation projection 43 toward the front end side of the upper notch 24 a, the link body 51 further swings via the operation member 4. At this time, the first pressing surface 55a of the link main body 51 presses the second pressure receiving surface 64b of the holding main body 61 and moves the holding main body 61 toward the retracted position while resisting the biasing force of the holding biasing member 63. . Here, as the link body 51 swings, the second pressure receiving surface 64b of the holding body 61 relatively slides on the first pressing surface 55aa of the link body 51 and reaches the intermediate pressing surface 55c.

  After the second pressure receiving surface 64b of the holding body 61 reaches the intermediate pressing surface 55c of the link body 51, the second pressure receiving surface 64b of the holding body 61 moves on the intermediate pressing surface 55c as the link body 51 further swings. Relative sliding. Here, while the second pressure receiving surface 64b slides relatively on the intermediate pressing surface 55c, the holding body 61 is located at the retracted position.

  When the operator further operates the operation protrusion 43 toward the front end side of the upper notch 24a, the second pressure receiving surface 64b of the holding body 61 exceeds the intermediate pressing surface 55c. Then, the first pressure receiving surface 64 a of the holding main body 61 is relatively slid on the second pressing surface 55 b of the link main body 51. At this time, the first pressure receiving surface 64 a presses the second pressing surface 55 b of the link body 51 by the urging force of the holding urging member 63. When the first pressure receiving surface 64a of the holding body 61 presses the second pressing surface 55b of the link body 51, the link body 51 is applied with a force toward the first position. Therefore, the position of the link body 51 can be changed smoothly to the first position. Further, since the holding main body 61 swings according to the urging force of the holding urging member 63, the position of the holding main body 61 changes from the retracted position toward the holding position.

  Thereafter, the link body 51 is further swung to disengage the first pressure receiving surface 64a of the holding body 61 from the second pressing surface 55b of the link body 51, and the link body 51 is in the first position. . At this time, the holding body 61 that has moved according to the urging force of the holding urging member 63 is locked by the holding body stopper 22e and is positioned at the holding position.

  Further, at this time, the operation projection 43 of the operation main body 41 is positioned at the front end of the upper notch 24a, and the operation hole one end 45a is locked to the operation main body stopper 22d in the operation hole 45 of the operation main body 41. Thereby, the operation body 41 is further restricted from rotating in the clockwise direction.

  Next, the relationship between the link member 5 and the intermediate plate 3 in the position change of the intermediate plate 3 from the non-use position to the use position will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, in the link engaging part 54 in the non-use position of the intermediate plate 3, the arm protrusion 32a is located at the guide other end part 54d of the second guide hole 54b. At this time, the arm protrusion 32a is locked to the other end 54d of the guide.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the link main body 51 starts swinging upward, the arm protrusion 32 a relatively moves in the second guide hole 54 b of the link engaging portion 54. Specifically, the arm protrusion 32a moves relative to the guide bending portion 54e from the other end portion 54d of the guide while being pressed against the inner surface of the second guide hole 54b. At this time, the arm portion 32 is pushed up via the arm protrusion 32 a, and as a result, the flap portion 31 provided integrally with the arm portion 32 swings around the intermediate plate shaft 33. That is, the flap portion 31 located in the accommodation space 20 swings upward in conjunction with the swing of the link body 51.

  Thereafter, as the link body 51 swings, the arm protrusion 32a reaches the guide bent portion 54e. At this time, the arm portion 32 and the flap portion 31 are substantially parallel to the bottom portion 21 of the case 2, that is, the use position of the intermediate plate 3. Here, before the arm protrusion 32a reaches the guide bent portion 54e, the holding member 6 is located at the retracted position. Specifically, before the arm protrusion 32a reaches the guide bent portion 54e, the second pressure receiving surface 64b of the holding body 61 is pressed by the intermediate pressing surface 55c of the link body 51, and the holding member 6 is in the retracted position. It has become.

  When the holding member 6 is in the retracted position, the support portion 65 of the holding body 61 is out of the swinging region of the flap portion 31 in the housing space 20 of the case 2. Therefore, the flap portion 31 can swing to the use position without being obstructed by the support portion 65.

  Further, when the arm projection 32a is guided to the first guide hole 54a beyond the guide bending portion 54e, the arm projection 32a moves toward the guide one end portion 54c. At this time, the second pressure receiving surface 64b of the holding body 61 exceeds the intermediate pressing surface 55c. Therefore, as described above, since the holding body 61 moves from the retracted position toward the holding position, the support portion 65 of the holding body 61 has advanced into the swing region of the flap portion 31. Thereby, the support part 65 is located on the lower surface side of the flap part 31, and the support part 65 can support the flap part 31.

  Thereafter, when the link body 51 swings to the first position, the arm protrusion 32a is positioned at the guide one end 54c of the first guide hole 54a. At this time, since the holding member 6 is located at the holding position and the flap portion 31 is located at the use position of the intermediate plate 3, the flap portion 31 is supported by the support portion 65 of the holding body 61. Thus, the intermediate plate 3 completes its position change from the non-use position to the use position.

  According to the cup holder 1 of the embodiment described above, the position change to the use position and the non-use position in the intermediate plate 3 can be performed by operating the operation member 4 in the opening peripheral edge 23. Further, the operation member 4 has an operation protrusion 43 protruding from the opening peripheral edge 23. In other words, the operator can perform a one-touch operation on the cup holder 1 by using the operation protrusion 43 to switch between the shallow bottom state and the deep bottom state. Therefore, the operator can easily switch the cup holder 1 between the shallow state and the deep state with a small operation.

  In addition, since the operation protrusion 43 is located at the peripheral edge of the opening, the operator can easily find the operation place. Therefore, according to the cup holder 1 in the embodiment, the operation method is easy to understand. Furthermore, the fact that the operation member 4 is easily visible to the operator can also be a factor that facilitates the operation of the operator. That is, the cup holder 1 in the embodiment is advantageous in facilitating the operation of the operator.

  In addition, the intermediate plate 3 in the embodiment can be changed to the use position and the non-use position by the relationship among the operation member 4, the link member 5, and the holding member 6. That is, the configuration is simpler than the conventional cup holder, and the number of parts can be reduced.

  In addition, a rubber ring 46 is interposed between the operation main body 41 and the side wall portion 22 in this embodiment. The rubber ring 46 realizes a smooth reciprocating motion of the operation main body 41 by a predetermined friction force generated between the rubber ring 46 and the operation main body 41. The rubber ring 46 also has an effect of suppressing the operation main body 41 from rattling due to unnecessary movement of the operation main body 41 when the operation main body 41 is not operated, for example, vibration during operation of the engine or vibration during running. Have. Therefore, according to the cup holder 1 of the embodiment, it is possible to prevent the operation member 6 from rattling due to, for example, vibration during traveling, and to prevent the link member 5 and the intermediate plate 3 from rattling.

  As mentioned above, although the cup holder which concerns on embodiment of this invention was demonstrated, the cup holder which concerns on this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above. In any of the following forms, the effects of the present invention can be achieved.

  For example, the intermediate plate 3 in the above embodiment is configured to swing downward in the position change from the use position to the non-use position, but instead, the intermediate plate 3 moves upward in the position change from the use position to the non-use position. The structure which rocks | fluctuates toward may be sufficient.

  Moreover, although the operation main body 41 of the operation member 4 in the said embodiment has comprised the disk shape which can be rotated, you may comprise the elongate plate shape which can be reciprocated extending in the front-back direction, for example. In this case, the tooth row that meshes with the link gear portion 53 is a linear rack tooth row. That is, the operation main body and the link gear unit 53 in this case have a rack and pinion configuration.

  Further, the holding member 6 in the above-described embodiment is supported by the case 2 so as to be swingable about the connecting shaft 62, but instead, the holding member 6 is slidable in the front-rear direction. It may be supported by. In this case, for example, there is a configuration in which the holding body is only a portion corresponding to the pressure receiving portion 64 in the above embodiment, and the holding body is supported by the case so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction.

  Moreover, although the support part 65 of the holding member 6 in the said embodiment is a structure which supports the lower surface of the flap part 31 in the use position of the intermediate | middle board 3, it replaces with this, the structure which pinches | interposes the flap part 31, ie, The structure which clamps the upper surface and lower surface of the flap part 31 may be sufficient.

  Further, the link member 5 in the above embodiment is not in contact with the holding member 6 at the use position of the intermediate plate 3. Specifically, when the link member 5 is in the first position, the pressing portion 55 of the link main body 51 is not in contact with the pressure receiving portion 64 of the holding main body 61. However, when the intermediate plate 3 is in the use position, the pressing portion 55 of the link main body 51 may be in contact with the pressure receiving portion 64 of the holding main body 61.

  In addition, it is desirable that the right side wall portion 221 in the above embodiment is provided with a guide rib that guides the swinging of the arm portion 32 by sliding the swinging tip of the arm portion 32. Thereby, the movement of the arm portion 32 can be stabilized, and the swing of the intermediate plate 3 can be made smooth.

  Further, it is desirable that the right side wall portion 221 in the above-described embodiment is provided with a guide rib that guides the swinging of the link main body 51 when a part of the link main body 51 slides. Thereby, the movement of the link main body 51 can be stabilized, and the swing of the intermediate plate 3 can be made smooth. It is desirable that the guide rib used for the arm portion 32 and the guide rib used for the link body 51 are both provided, but only one of them may be provided.
