a first holder unit inserted into and fixed to an existing cup holder provided in a vehicle and accommodating a first cup; a support portion having an upward inclination angle toward the outside from an outer surface of an upper end of the first holder portion so as not to interfere with receiving the first cup in the first holder portion; and a second holder provided at an upper end of the support and accommodating a second cup, wherein the first holder has a height higher than that of the existing cup holder, and a slot cut from the lower end toward the upper end has a diameter of the lower end. It is formed at predetermined intervals according to the shape to form a plurality of fixing pieces, the plurality of fixing pieces having an outer side forming a first diameter that is in close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the existing cup holder and an inner side forming a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. It is to provide a cup holder for automobiles, characterized in that the sides are formed to intersect and are inserted and fixed regardless of the size of the existing cup holder by using a buffer according to the difference in diameter between the outer side and the inner side. According to this configuration, by providing a plurality of cup holders on which the first cup and the second cup can be mounted by attaching to the existing cup holder provided in the vehicle, convenience for enjoying various drinks is provided, and the type of vehicle is selected. It has the effect of increasing the practicality of the product as it can be installed on all types of vehicles regardless of the size of other existing cup holders.

However, these conventional cup holders have the following problems.

(1) Existing cup holders are generally formed on the center fascia or dashboard, so the cup holders are exposed in the interior of the vehicle. Accordingly, there are many cases in which the cup holder is used as another storage space.

(2) In particular, drivers who do not often drink food or drink in the car rarely use the cup holder, so the cup holder is often used as a storage place for storing personal items such as coins or small accessories.

(3) Therefore, when trying to use the cup holder, the cup holder cannot be used, which causes difficulties in storage when drinking or storing beverages or water.

(4) In addition, the cup holder exposed to the interior of the car occupies a limited interior space of the car, reducing space utilization and damaging the aesthetics of the interior of the car.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2239310 (registration date: 2021.04.06) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0050149 (published date: 2021.05.07) Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2177788 (registration date: 2020.11.05)

The present invention takes this point into consideration, and configures a cup holder on the inner surface of the cover of the console box, rotates the cover only when the cup holder is used, and exposes the cup holder to the outside so that it can be used, so that the cup can be used only when necessary. An object of the present invention is to provide a console box for a vehicle equipped with a storage type cup holder that allows the holder to be exposed to the outside to further increase space utilization for the limited interior space of a vehicle without compromising aesthetics and aesthetics.

In particular, the present invention opens the cover, pulls it up, then inverts the cover in place and closes it again so that the cup holder is exposed to the outside, so that the cup holder placed on the console box can be conveniently used close-up. A storage type cup holder is provided There is another purpose of providing a console box for a vehicle that has been used.

To achieve this object, a console box for a vehicle equipped with a storage type cup holder according to the present invention includes a box body 100; and a cover 200 having a cup holder 210 on a surface facing the box body 100 when closed; An operation block 110 supporting the cover 200 to be rotated in place so that it can be covered or tilted upward is mounted on the box body 100; The operation block 110 slides outward from the box body 100 by a predetermined height so that the cover 200 closes the box body 100 again by rotating the cover 200 in place, so that the cup holder ( 210) is configured to be exposed to the box body 100.

In particular, one side of the operation block 110 is installed so that the cover 200 can be rotated upward by a hinge 111, and the other side has a guide hole formed in the box body 100. It is characterized in that a guide 112 is provided so that the operation block 110 can pass through the box body 100 by being inserted through the 121.

A console box for a vehicle equipped with a storage type cup holder according to the present invention has the following effects.

(1) The cup holder stays inside the box body when not in use and is not exposed to the car interior, which can improve the aesthetics and aesthetics of the car interior.

(2) In particular, unused cup holders do not occupy the interior space of a car, so space utilization of the limited interior space of a car can be increased.

(3) Since the cup holder is located at the top of the console box, the space that is difficult to use in the console box can be used as a seat for the cup holder. Accordingly, it is possible to sufficiently secure the cup holder and increase the space utilization of the console box.

(4) Since the console box is usually located between the front seats, as the cup holder is configured here, not only the front seat occupants but also the rear seat passengers can use the cup holder configured in the console box, increasing utilization.

(5) On the other hand, the cup holder opens the cover, then rotates the cover so that it is reversed, and then closes it again to expose the cup holder built into the console box upward, so that anyone can use it as a cup holder. When you need a cup holder, you can use it easily and conveniently.
