Description

Cup holder with cold and hot function {CUP HOLDER HAVING A FUNCTION OF COOLING AND HEATING}

The present invention relates to a cup holder having a cold temperature function, and more particularly, a cold temperature function capable of increasing convenience by cooling and heating a beverage by supplying cold air and outside air around the cup holder by a gate valve connected to a rear duct. It relates to a cup holder having a cold temperature function.

Generally, various convenience devices for the driver and the passenger are provided in the interior of a vehicle. Convenience devices include ash trays and cup holders for placing cups or beverage cans. The cup holder is provided to stably store a cup or a drink can containing drinking water or a drink that the driver or other passengers drink while driving a long distance of the vehicle, and is mounted on the instrument panel of the vehicle or as shown in FIG. It can also be mounted. The console lid 16 is mounted on the upper portion of the console 12 capable of storing small objects necessary for running by a hinge 14 so as to be openable and openable. Therefore, in order to put an object in the console 12 or to take out the goods in storage, the console lid 16 may be opened by lifting the open lever 18 by hand. The rear of the console 12 is provided with a rear cigar lighter 20 for rear passengers, and a cup holder at the front. In the storage box 24 constituting the cup holder, a cover 26 which is opened only in use is mounted to be openable and closed. The rear duct 22 is disposed under the console 12 provided with the cup holder, thereby cooling and heating the rear seat passenger by supplying cold air and warm air.

The conventional cup holder having such a configuration can conveniently put a drink can or a water cup to provide convenience to the occupant, but since it is not equipped with a separate air-conditioning function, unless it is cooled separately during hot summer operation You can not drink cold drinks, likewise there is a problem that can not drink hot drinks during winter operation.

The present invention to solve this problem by using the cold and warm air passing through the rear duct to cool or warm the beverage in the container placed on the cup holder, so that you can drink a cold drink in the hot summer during operation and cold winter The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cup holder having a cold and hot function that can provide a convenience to passengers by allowing them to drink warmly heated beverages.

Cup holder having a cold and hot function of the present invention for achieving the above object is a cup holder which is provided in the console that the rear duct is arranged in the lower portion and the console lid is removably mounted by a hinge, by the hinge The valve operation wheel is rotatably mounted on the rear duct and has a gate valve having an extension on its surface, a rotation lever having a push protrusion formed at the top thereof, and a rotation lever having a long hole formed at the bottom thereof, and a valve operation wheel that slides along the hole. It characterized in that it comprises a connection pin for transmitting the operating force of the gate valve to the extension of opening and closing it.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail with a cup holder having a cold function according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a cup holder according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state of use of the cup holder according to the present invention.

In order to cool or warm the contents contained in the container in the cup holder using cold and warm air passing through the rear seat, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in these figures, the rear duct 22 has a A gate valve 50 was installed for introducing cold or warm air into the cup holder. This gate valve 50 is rotatably attached to the rear duct 22 by the hinge 42, and is opened and closed by the valve operation wheel 32 of the upper part. An extension portion 38 protrudes upward from the surface of the gate valve 50.

The pusher protrusion 32a is formed in the upper part of the valve operation wheel 32, and the rotation lever 36 is comprised integrally in the lower part. In addition, the valve operation wheel 32 is rotatably mounted to one side wall of the storage box 24 constituting the cup holder by the rotation pin 34. The pivoting lever 36 has a long hole 36a, and the connecting pin 40 is slidably coupled to the long hole 36a. The connecting pin 40 serves to couple the extension 38 of the gate valve 50 to the long hole 36a.

When the cup holder is used, as shown by the phantom line, the lid 26 is opened and the beverage container 44 is stored in the storage box 24. With the gate valve 50 closed, cold air and warm air in the rear duct 22 are supplied toward the rear seat in the direction of the arrow (P1). At this time, in order to cool the beverage or heat it warmly, when the user pushes down the pressing projection 32a downward, the valve operating wheel 32 moves clockwise while the rotation lever 36 rotates about the rotation pin. To start. Therefore, the extension part 38 rotates clockwise through the connecting pin 40 inserted in the long hole 36a, and presses the gate valve 50 downward, thereby the gate valve 50 is hinged. Opening as shown in FIG. 3 while pivoting around 42, some cold or warm air that has advanced to the rear along the rear duct 22 flows into the holder 24 to cool the beverage container 44 and Heating. If you want to block the inflow of cold or warm after drinking the drink, push the push projection (32a) in reverse. As a result, the gate valve 50 is returned to its original position by the rotation lever 36 and the extension 38 while the valve operation wheel 32 is rotated in the opposite direction. On the other hand, although not shown, it is also possible to configure the gate valve 50 to be closed automatically when lifting the beverage can using a return spring of the appropriate form.

Next, Figure 4 is a plan view showing the bottom of the cup holder according to the invention, Figure 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the operation structure of the gate valve according to the present invention. As shown in these figures, the pressing protrusion 32a of the valve operation wheel 32 is projected upward through the opening 30a of the wheel mounting portion 30 provided on one side of the storage box 24, A plurality of air vent holes 52 are formed in the gate valve 50 to facilitate the inflow of cold or warm air.

In addition, rubber 54 is attached to both ends of the gate valve 50 to prevent the leakage of cold and warm air. The guide duct 28 for guiding the inflow of cold or warm air passing through the rear duct 22 is provided vertically to serve to guide the introduced warm or cold air toward the beverage container 44.

According to the present invention described above, by using the cold and warm air passing through the rear duct to cool or warm the beverage in the container placed on the cup holder, so that you can drink cold drinks during the hot summer during operation and warm in the cold winter There is an advantage that can provide a convenience to the passenger by allowing the beverage to be heated.
