Description

Car Cup Holder {CUP HOLDER FOR VEHICLE} The present invention relates to a vehicle cup holder, and more specifically, to a vehicle cup holder that accommodates a beverage container and supports the beverage container so that it does not shake while the vehicle is in motion. Generally, car cup holders are installed as a sliding type that slides in or out of the center fascia panel where the audio system and air conditioning controls are installed, or are installed exposed on the floor console tray between the gear shift lever and the console box. Although the storage space of the cup holder described above is configured to a fixed size, recently it is being adopted with a structure that can accommodate beverage containers of any diameter, and is also being applied with a structure that can firmly support the outer surface of the beverage container so that it does not shake even with vehicle vibrations. A cup holder capable of inserting a beverage container regardless of the diameter of the beverage container has a cup holder housing having a cup receiving portion, wherein a support member receiving portion is formed at four directional positions, and a support member (flap) is operably mounted in the receiving portion, which is inserted into the receiving portion while compressing a spring, and simultaneously withdrawn to the outside of the inlet through which the container is inserted by the elastic force of said spring. That is, the support member always remains in a state protruding into the interior of the inlet due to the elastic force of the spring, and when a beverage container is inserted, it is pushed by the beverage container, compressing the spring and being inserted into the receiving portion; and when the beverage container is seated in the inlet, the support member closely supports the perimeter surface of the beverage container. However, conventional support members (flaps) consist of a flap housing fixedly coupled to the cup holder housing, a flap formed to support a beverage container, and a spring that elastically supports the flap and flap housing, requiring additional costs to produce and assemble each of these components. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a flap structure that can lower production costs, production processes, and assembly costs while maintaining the flap's load-bearing capacity. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cup holder body of a vehicle cup holder according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a flap of a vehicle cup holder according to one embodiment of the present invention. Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a cup holder body of a vehicle cup holder according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a flap of a vehicle cup holder according to one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a vehicle cup holder according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a cup holder body (10) and a flap (20). At this time, the flap (20) is coupled to the cup holder body (10). The cup holder body (10) includes a flap receiving hole (11) and an axis fixing part (12). At this time, the cup holder body (10) has a cylindrical shape with a closed lower surface so as to accommodate a beverage container including a cup. Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the cup holder body (10) has a cylindrical shape with an '8'-shaped cross-section to accommodate two beverage containers, but is not limited to this and can be formed to accommodate one beverage container or multiple beverage containers. Meanwhile, a plurality of flap receiving holes (11) that communicate the inside and the outside are formed on the outer surface of the cup holder body (10), and an axis fixing part (12) is formed on the outer surface of the cup holder body (10). At this time, the flap receiving hole (11) can be formed to correspond to the shape of the flap (20). For example, the flap receiving hole (11) can be formed to have a diameter that is slightly larger than the left-right width of the flap (20). However, the left-right width of the flap receiving hole (11) is smaller than the maximum distance between a pair of stoppers (23). Through this, the cup support (21) can pass through the flap receiving hole (11), but the stopper (23) cannot pass through. The shaft fixing part (12) can be positioned on both the left and right sides of the flap receiving hole (11). At this time, the maximum distance of the shaft fixing part (12) in the left and right directions may be equal to or greater than the length of the rotation shaft (22). Accordingly, both ends of the rotation shaft (22) can be received in the shaft fixing part (12). The shaft fixing part (12) is formed to protrude from the outer surface of the cup holder body (10), with its tip bent upward so that the rotation shaft (22) of the
