Abstract

The present invention relates to a vehicle cup holder capable of improving cooling and heating performance while simplifying the number of parts and the fastening structure. It comprises a housing provided in a vehicle, a holder body inserted into the housing and having an insertion portion formed therein for inserting an object, and a foam layer provided between the housing and the holder body, which insulates the space between the housing and the holder body while attaching the holder body to the housing. With this configuration, the effect of performing a thermal insulation function while attaching the holder body to the housing can be achieved by forming a foam layer between the housing and the holder body.

Description

Car Cup Holder The present invention relates to a vehicle cup holder, and more specifically, to a vehicle cup holder capable of improving cooling and heating performance while simplifying the number of parts and the fastening structure. Generally, vehicle interiors are equipped with various convenience features to enhance the comfort and spaciousness of the driver and passengers. Cup holders are one such feature, typically installed in various locations such as the interior of the console or center fascia using a sliding mechanism, or within the armrest. In particular, recently, cup holders equipped with a temperature maintenance function using low-power thermoelectric elements to maintain the temperature of cold and hot beverages are being applied to vehicles. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating a conventional vehicle cup holder. Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional vehicle cup holder (10) has a holder body (12) placed inside a housing (11), and a movement prevention pad (13) is provided between the housing (11) and the holder body (12) to fix the position of the holder body (12). Here, the movement prevention pad (13) is attached to the housing (11) and the holder body (12) using adhesive or double-sided tape. In addition, a thermal insulation/cooling pad (14) is provided on the outer surface of the housing (11) to perform an insulation function. This thermal insulation/cooling pad (14) is attached to the housing (11) using adhesive or double-sided tape. As such, the conventional vehicle cup holder (10) has the problem of increasing manufacturing costs and time because the above-mentioned anti-flow pad (13) and the above-mentioned thermal/cooling pad (14) are attached using adhesive or double-sided tape, resulting in a large number of parts and a complex assembly process. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating a conventional vehicle cup holder. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating a vehicle cup holder according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of manufacturing a vehicle cup holder according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an embodiment in which a fastening groove is formed in a vehicle cup holder according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an embodiment of a vehicle cup holder according to an embodiment of the present invention, further equipped with a thermoelectric element and a heat exchanger. Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. The present invention is capable of various modifications and may have various embodiments, and specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the detailed description. This is not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments, and should be interpreted to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
