−第１の実施の形態−
以下、図１〜図４を参照して本発明による車両用カップホルダの第１の実施の形態について説明する。
図１はカップホルダの配置を示す斜視図である。運転席１と助手席２の間には車両前後方向にフロントコンソール３が延設され、フロントコンソール３の上面に缶やペットボトルなどの飲料容器等を収容するための略円形状の凹部１０、すなわちカップホルダが設けられている。カップホルダは、飲料容器の底面を支持する底板１１と、飲料容器の周囲を保持する周壁１２とを有し、飲料容器を収容した状態で容器の下側の１／３〜３／２程度が収容されるように凹部１０の深さが形成されている。 -First embodiment-
Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1-4, 1st Embodiment of the cup holder for vehicles by this invention is described.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the arrangement of cup holders. A front console 3 extends between the driver's seat 1 and the passenger seat 2 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a substantially circular recess 10 for accommodating a beverage container such as a can or a plastic bottle on the upper surface of the front console 3. That is, a cup holder is provided. The cup holder has a bottom plate 11 that supports the bottom surface of the beverage container and a peripheral wall 12 that holds the periphery of the beverage container, and about 1/3 to 3/2 of the lower side of the container in a state in which the beverage container is accommodated. The depth of the recess 10 is formed so as to be accommodated.

図２（ａ）はカップホルダの詳細構造を示す上面図であり、図２（ｂ）は図２（ａ）のｂ−ｂ線断面図である。カップホルダの凹部１０には周壁１２に沿って螺旋状のチューブ２０が配設されている。チューブ２０の内径ｄ２は飲料容器５の外径ｄ１よりもやや大きく、チューブ２０の内側に飲料容器５が収容される。チューブ２０の上側端部２１および下側端部２２はそれぞれ後述する冷凍サイクルに接続され、これら上下端部２１，２２を介してチューブ２０内を螺旋状に冷媒が流れるようになっている。   Fig.2 (a) is a top view which shows the detailed structure of a cup holder, FIG.2 (b) is the bb sectional view taken on the line of Fig.2 (a). A spiral tube 20 is disposed along the peripheral wall 12 in the recess 10 of the cup holder. The inner diameter d2 of the tube 20 is slightly larger than the outer diameter d1 of the beverage container 5, and the beverage container 5 is accommodated inside the tube 20. The upper end portion 21 and the lower end portion 22 of the tube 20 are connected to a refrigeration cycle, which will be described later, and the refrigerant flows spirally through the tube 20 via the upper and lower end portions 21 and 22.

カップホルダの周壁１２の下端部には貫通穴１２ａが開口され、この貫通穴１２ａをチューブ２０の下側端部２２が貫通している。また、カップホルダの周壁１２の上部には上下方向にスリット１２ｂが設けられ、このスリット１２ｂをチューブ２０の上側端部２１が貫通している。チューブ２０の下側端部２２は貫通穴１２ａに移動不能に固定され、上側端部２１はスリット１２ｂに沿って上下方向にのみ移動可能に支持されている。すなわちチューブ２０は周方向（螺旋がほぐれる方向）へは移動不能である。   A through hole 12a is opened at the lower end of the peripheral wall 12 of the cup holder, and the lower end 22 of the tube 20 passes through the through hole 12a. In addition, a slit 12b is provided in the upper and lower directions on the upper part of the peripheral wall 12 of the cup holder, and the upper end 21 of the tube 20 passes through the slit 12b. The lower end 22 of the tube 20 is fixed to the through hole 12a so as not to move, and the upper end 21 is supported so as to be movable only in the vertical direction along the slit 12b. That is, the tube 20 cannot move in the circumferential direction (the direction in which the helix is loosened).

図２（ｃ）は図２（ｂ）のｃ−ｃ線断面図である。図２（ｃ）の実線に示すようにチューブ２０の断面形状は上下方向に長細の楕円形であり、チューブ２０に冷媒の流れによる内圧が作用すると図示点線で示すように横方向に膨張する。また、チューブ２０に内圧が作用するとチューブ２０には螺旋をほどくような力、すなわち螺旋を広げる方向の力が作用するが、上述したようにチューブ２０は周方向へ移動不能に支持されているため螺旋は径方向に広がらず、チューブ２０は図３に示すように上方に伸長する。   FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line cc of FIG. As shown by the solid line in FIG. 2C, the cross-sectional shape of the tube 20 is an ellipse that is long in the vertical direction, and when the internal pressure due to the flow of the refrigerant acts on the tube 20, it expands in the horizontal direction as shown by the dotted line in the figure. . Further, when an internal pressure is applied to the tube 20, a force that unwinds the spiral, that is, a force in the direction of expanding the spiral acts on the tube 20, but as described above, the tube 20 is supported so as not to move in the circumferential direction. The spiral does not spread in the radial direction, and the tube 20 extends upward as shown in FIG.

図４は冷媒の流れを示す回路図であり、車両空調用の冷凍サイクルとカップホルダ用の冷凍サイクルを示している。車両空調用の冷凍サイクルは、コンプレッサ３１，コンデンサ３２，レシーバ３３，膨張弁３４，およびエバポレータ３５を有する。コンプレッサ３１はエバポレータ３５で気化した冷媒を圧縮して高温高圧の冷媒ガスとし、コンデンサ３２はコンプレッサ３１から送られてきた冷媒ガスの熱を外気に放熱して液状冷媒にする。レシーバ３３はコンデンサ３２で液化した冷媒を一時的に蓄え、膨張弁３４はその液状冷媒を膨張させる。エバポレータ３５は車室内に送られる空気と熱交換して冷媒を気化し、送風空気を除湿，冷却する。   FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram showing the flow of refrigerant, showing a refrigeration cycle for vehicle air conditioning and a refrigeration cycle for cup holders. The refrigeration cycle for vehicle air conditioning includes a compressor 31, a condenser 32, a receiver 33, an expansion valve 34, and an evaporator 35. The compressor 31 compresses the refrigerant vaporized by the evaporator 35 into a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas, and the condenser 32 releases the heat of the refrigerant gas sent from the compressor 31 to the outside air to form a liquid refrigerant. The receiver 33 temporarily stores the refrigerant liquefied by the capacitor 32, and the expansion valve 34 expands the liquid refrigerant. The evaporator 35 exchanges heat with the air sent into the passenger compartment to vaporize the refrigerant, and dehumidifies and cools the blown air.

カップホルダ用の冷凍サイクルは、コンプレッサ３１，コンデンサ３２，レシーバ３３，膨張弁３４，開閉弁３６，オリフィス３７，および螺旋状のチューブ２０を有する。開閉弁３６とオリフィス３７とチューブ２０はエバポレータ３５に対して並列に接続され、コンプレッサ３１とコンデンサ３２とレシーバ３３と膨張弁３４は車両空調用のものが流用される。開閉弁３６は運転室に設けられたスイッチ３８のオンオフ操作により開閉し、スイッチ操作に応じてチューブ２０内を冷媒が流れる。   The refrigeration cycle for the cup holder includes a compressor 31, a condenser 32, a receiver 33, an expansion valve 34, an on-off valve 36, an orifice 37, and a spiral tube 20. The on-off valve 36, the orifice 37, and the tube 20 are connected in parallel to the evaporator 35, and the compressor 31, the condenser 32, the receiver 33, and the expansion valve 34 are used for vehicle air conditioning. The on-off valve 36 is opened and closed by an on / off operation of a switch 38 provided in the cab, and the refrigerant flows through the tube 20 in accordance with the switch operation.

第１の実施の形態に係る車両用カップホルダの動作を説明する。
スイッチ３８をオフした状態では開閉弁３６が閉じられ、チューブ２０を冷媒が流れない。この状態では、図２（ｂ）に示すようにチューブ２０は縮退し、飲料容器５の外径ｄ１よりもチューブ２０の内径ｄ２の方が大きい。そのため、チューブ２０の内側に上方から容器５を収容することができる。 The operation of the vehicle cup holder according to the first embodiment will be described.
In the state where the switch 38 is turned off, the on-off valve 36 is closed, and the refrigerant does not flow through the tube 20. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2B, the tube 20 is degenerated, and the inner diameter d2 of the tube 20 is larger than the outer diameter d1 of the beverage container 5. Therefore, the container 5 can be accommodated from above inside the tube 20.

容器を収容した状態でスイッチ３８をオンすると、開閉弁３６が開放する。これによりエバポレータ３５の上流側から分岐した冷媒が開放弁３６およびオリフィス３７を通過し、低温低圧の冷媒がチューブ２０に導かれる。この冷媒はチューブ２０を流れた後、エバポレータ３５を通過した冷媒とコンプレッサ３１の上流側で合流する。   When the switch 38 is turned on while the container is accommodated, the on-off valve 36 is opened. As a result, the refrigerant branched from the upstream side of the evaporator 35 passes through the release valve 36 and the orifice 37, and the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant is guided to the tube 20. This refrigerant flows through the tube 20 and then merges with the refrigerant that has passed through the evaporator 35 on the upstream side of the compressor 31.

このときチューブ２０には冷媒の流れによる内圧が作用するので、チューブ２０が膨張するとともに、図３に示すように上方に伸長する。これによりチューブ２０の内径ｄ２が小さくなり、容器５の外周面にチューブ２０が密着する。その結果、冷媒と飲料との熱交換が促進され、短時間で効率よく飲料を冷却することができる。   At this time, since the internal pressure due to the flow of the refrigerant acts on the tube 20, the tube 20 expands and extends upward as shown in FIG. Thereby, the inner diameter d2 of the tube 20 is reduced, and the tube 20 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the container 5. As a result, heat exchange between the refrigerant and the beverage is promoted, and the beverage can be efficiently cooled in a short time.

飲料の冷却が終了するとスイッチ３８をオフする。これによりチューブ２０内の冷媒の流れが停止し、内圧が低下する。その結果、チューブ２０が自重により縮退して内径ｄ２が広がり、チューブ２０が容器５から離間して、冷却された容器５を取り出すことができる。   When the cooling of the beverage is finished, the switch 38 is turned off. Thereby, the flow of the refrigerant in the tube 20 is stopped, and the internal pressure is reduced. As a result, the tube 20 is contracted by its own weight, the inner diameter d2 is expanded, the tube 20 is separated from the container 5, and the cooled container 5 can be taken out.

第１の実施の形態によれば以下のような作用効果を奏することができる。
（１）カップホルダの凹部１０の周壁１２に沿って低温の冷媒が流れる螺旋状のチューブ２０を配設したので、チューブ２０の内側に収容した飲料を効率よく冷却することができる。その結果、例えば空調風を吹き付けて飲料を冷却する場合よりも冷却に要する時間を短縮できる。
（２）飲料を冷却するための車両用冷蔵庫を設ける必要がないため、安価に構成することができる。
（３）冷媒の流れによりチューブ２０を上下方向に伸縮させ、チューブ２０を容器５の外周面に接触するようにしたので、低温の冷媒と容器５との間の熱交換が促進され、冷却効率を一層高めることができる。 According to 1st Embodiment, there can exist the following effects.
(1) Since the spiral tube 20 through which a low-temperature refrigerant flows is disposed along the peripheral wall 12 of the recess 10 of the cup holder, the beverage accommodated inside the tube 20 can be efficiently cooled. As a result, the time required for cooling can be shortened compared with the case where the beverage is cooled by blowing air-conditioned air, for example.
(2) Since it is not necessary to provide a vehicular refrigerator for cooling the beverage, it can be configured at low cost.
(3) Since the tube 20 is expanded and contracted in the vertical direction by the flow of the refrigerant and the tube 20 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the container 5, heat exchange between the low-temperature refrigerant and the container 5 is promoted, and cooling efficiency Can be further enhanced.

（４）チューブ２０が冷媒圧力により上下方向に伸縮するので、チューブ２０を伸縮するためのアクチュエータ等が不要であり、構成を簡素化できる。
（５）車両空調用冷凍サイクルのエバポレータ３５に対して並列に開閉弁３６，オリフィス３７，チューブ２０を接続するので、コンプレッサ３１やコンデンサ３２等を流用することができ、部品点数の増加を抑えることができる。
（６）スイッチ３８の操作により開閉弁３６を開閉してチューブ２０内に冷媒を流すので、必要以上にチューブ２０に冷媒が流れることを防止できる。 (4) Since the tube 20 expands and contracts in the vertical direction due to the refrigerant pressure, an actuator or the like for expanding and contracting the tube 20 is unnecessary, and the configuration can be simplified.
(5) Since the on-off valve 36, the orifice 37, and the tube 20 are connected in parallel to the evaporator 35 of the refrigeration cycle for vehicle air conditioning, the compressor 31, the condenser 32, etc. can be used and the increase in the number of parts can be suppressed. Can do.
(6) Since the on / off valve 36 is opened and closed by operating the switch 38 and the refrigerant flows into the tube 20, it is possible to prevent the refrigerant from flowing into the tube 20 more than necessary.

−第２の実施の形態−
図５を参照して本発明による車両用カップホルダの第２の実施の形態について説明する。
第１の実施の形態では、カップホルダの凹部１０の周壁１２に沿って螺旋状にチューブ２０を配設したが、第２の実施の形態では、周壁１２に沿って略円筒形状の袋体４０を配設し、その袋体４０の内側にチューブ４１を配置する。なお、以下では第１の実施の形態との相違点を主に説明する。 -Second Embodiment-
A second embodiment of a vehicle cup holder according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the first embodiment, the tube 20 is spirally disposed along the peripheral wall 12 of the recess 10 of the cup holder. However, in the second embodiment, the substantially cylindrical bag body 40 is disposed along the peripheral wall 12. The tube 41 is disposed inside the bag body 40. In the following description, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

図５（ａ）は、第２の実施の形態に係るカップホルダの要部構成を示す平面図である。カップホルダの凹部１０には図示のような略円筒形状の袋体４０が周壁１２に密着して配設されている。袋体４０は樹脂フィルムなどの変形可能なシート材からなり、内部には気体が密封されている。袋体４０は外周面が周壁に密着しているため、内周面側が膨張および収縮可能であり、袋体４０の伸縮により内径が変化する。袋体４０の内周面には冷媒用のチューブ４１が取り付けられている。   Fig.5 (a) is a top view which shows the principal part structure of the cup holder which concerns on 2nd Embodiment. In the recess 10 of the cup holder, a substantially cylindrical bag 40 as shown is disposed in close contact with the peripheral wall 12. The bag body 40 is made of a deformable sheet material such as a resin film, and gas is sealed inside. Since the outer peripheral surface of the bag body 40 is in close contact with the peripheral wall, the inner peripheral surface side can expand and contract, and the inner diameter changes due to the expansion and contraction of the bag body 40. A refrigerant tube 41 is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the bag body 40.

図５（ｂ）は、袋体４０の内周面に取り付けられたチューブ４１の展開図である。チューブ４１は袋体４０の内周面の全周にわたって上下にジグザグ状に配設され、袋体４０の内径の変化に伴い周方向に伸縮可能である。冷凍サイクルは図４と同一であり、チューブ４１の一端部には開閉弁３６およびオリフィス３７を介して低温の冷媒が流入し、チューブ４１の他端部からはコンプレッサ３１に向けて冷媒が流出する。また、図５では冷媒の圧力により摺動するピストン４３が設けられている。ピストン４３により仕切られた一方のシリンダ室４３は開閉弁３６とオリフィス３７の間のチューブに連通し、他方のシリンダ室４４は袋体４０に連通している。   FIG. 5B is a development view of the tube 41 attached to the inner peripheral surface of the bag body 40. The tube 41 is disposed in a zigzag shape up and down over the entire inner circumferential surface of the bag body 40, and can be expanded and contracted in the circumferential direction as the inner diameter of the bag body 40 changes. The refrigeration cycle is the same as that in FIG. 4, and low-temperature refrigerant flows into one end of the tube 41 via the opening / closing valve 36 and the orifice 37, and refrigerant flows out from the other end of the tube 41 toward the compressor 31. . In FIG. 5, a piston 43 that slides due to the pressure of the refrigerant is provided. One cylinder chamber 43 partitioned by the piston 43 communicates with a tube between the on-off valve 36 and the orifice 37, and the other cylinder chamber 44 communicates with the bag body 40.

第２の実施の形態に係る車両用カップホルダの動作を説明する。
スイッチ３８をオフにした状態では開閉弁３６が閉じられるため、ピストン室４３には冷媒の流れによる圧力が作用しない。そのため、ピストン室４４の圧力がピストン室４３の圧力よりも大きくなり、ピストン４２がピストン室４３側に押動される。これにより袋体４０が収縮してチューブ４１の内径が大きくなり、チューブ４１の内側に上方から容器５を収容することができる。 An operation of the vehicle cup holder according to the second embodiment will be described.
Since the on-off valve 36 is closed when the switch 38 is turned off, the pressure due to the flow of the refrigerant does not act on the piston chamber 43. Therefore, the pressure in the piston chamber 44 becomes larger than the pressure in the piston chamber 43, and the piston 42 is pushed toward the piston chamber 43 side. As a result, the bag body 40 contracts and the inner diameter of the tube 41 is increased, and the container 5 can be accommodated inside the tube 41 from above.

容器５を収容した状態でスイッチ３８をオンすると、開閉弁３６が開放し、開放弁３６およびオリフィス３７を通過した低温低圧の冷媒がチューブ４１に導かれ、チューブ４１内を冷媒が流れる。このときピストン室４３に冷媒の流れによる圧力が作用し、ピストン４２がピストン室４４側に押動される。これにより袋体４０が膨張してチューブ４１の内径が小さくなり、図５に示すように容器５の外周面にチューブ４１が密着する。その結果、短時間で効率よく飲料を冷却することができる。飲料の冷却が終了するとスイッチ３８をオフする。これによりチューブ４１内の冷媒の流れが停止してピストン４２がピストン室４３側に押動され、チューブ４１の内径が広がる。   When the switch 38 is turned on while the container 5 is accommodated, the open / close valve 36 is opened, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant that has passed through the open valve 36 and the orifice 37 is guided to the tube 41, and the refrigerant flows through the tube 41. At this time, pressure due to the flow of the refrigerant acts on the piston chamber 43, and the piston 42 is pushed toward the piston chamber 44 side. As a result, the bag body 40 expands to reduce the inner diameter of the tube 41, and the tube 41 comes into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the container 5 as shown in FIG. 5. As a result, the beverage can be efficiently cooled in a short time. When the cooling of the beverage is finished, the switch 38 is turned off. Thereby, the flow of the refrigerant in the tube 41 is stopped, the piston 42 is pushed toward the piston chamber 43 side, and the inner diameter of the tube 41 is expanded.

このように第２の実施の形態では、カップホルダの凹部１０の周壁１２に沿って袋体４０を配設し、袋体４０の内側に低温の冷媒が流れるチューブ４１を取り付けるとともに、袋体４０を膨張させてチューブ４１を容器５の外周面に向けて移動するようにした。これによりチューブ４１が容器５に密着し、飲料を効率よく冷却することができる。開閉弁３６の開閉に伴う冷媒の流れによりピストン４２を駆動して袋体４０を伸縮するので、構成が容易である。   As described above, in the second embodiment, the bag body 40 is disposed along the peripheral wall 12 of the concave portion 10 of the cup holder, the tube 41 through which a low-temperature refrigerant flows is attached to the inside of the bag body 40, and the bag body 40. And the tube 41 is moved toward the outer peripheral surface of the container 5. Thereby, the tube 41 adheres to the container 5 and can cool a drink efficiently. Since the piston 42 is driven by the flow of the refrigerant accompanying opening and closing of the on-off valve 36 and the bag body 40 is expanded and contracted, the configuration is easy.

−第３の実施の形態−
図６を参照して本発明による車両用カップホルダの第３の実施の形態について説明する。
第１の実施の形態では、容器５の外周面にチューブ２０を密着させるようにしたが、第３の実施の形態では、容器５の外周面に袋体５０を密着させる。なお、以下では第１の実施の形態との相違点を主に説明する。 -Third embodiment-
A third embodiment of the vehicle cup holder according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the first embodiment, the tube 20 is brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the container 5. However, in the third embodiment, the bag body 50 is brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the container 5. In the following description, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

図６は、第３の実施の形態に係るカップホルダの要部構成を示す図である。カップホルダの凹部１０には図示のような略円筒形状の袋体５０が周壁１２に密着して配設されている。袋体５０は樹脂フィルムなどの変形可能でかつ熱伝導率のよいシート材からなり、内圧が作用していない状態では収縮して内径が大きくなり、内圧が作用すると膨張して内径が小さくなる。袋体５０には冷媒の流入部５１および流出部５２が設けられ、この流入部５１，流出部５２を介して袋体５０内を冷媒が流れる。   FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a main configuration of a cup holder according to the third embodiment. A substantially cylindrical bag 50 as shown in the figure is disposed in close contact with the peripheral wall 12 in the recess 10 of the cup holder. The bag body 50 is made of a deformable sheet material such as a resin film and has good thermal conductivity. The bag body 50 contracts in a state where the internal pressure is not applied to increase the internal diameter, and expands to reduce the internal diameter when the internal pressure is applied. The bag body 50 is provided with a refrigerant inflow portion 51 and an outflow portion 52, and the refrigerant flows through the bag body 50 through the inflow portion 51 and the outflow portion 52.

第３の実施の形態に係る車両用カップホルダの動作を説明する。
スイッチ３８をオフにした状態では開閉弁３６が閉じられ、袋体５０内を冷媒が流れない。そのため袋体５０は収縮し、袋体５０の内径は容器５の外径よりも大きくなる。袋体５０の内側に容器５を収容した状態でスイッチ３８をオンすると開閉弁３６が開放し、袋体５０内に低温の冷媒が導かれる。これにより袋体５０が膨張して内径が小さくなり、袋体５０の内周面が容器５の外周面に密着し、容器５の冷却効率が高まる。飲料の冷却が終了するとスイッチ３８をオフする。これにより袋体５０が収縮して袋体５０の内径が広がる。 The operation of the vehicle cup holder according to the third embodiment will be described.
In the state where the switch 38 is turned off, the on-off valve 36 is closed, and the refrigerant does not flow through the bag body 50. Therefore, the bag body 50 contracts, and the inner diameter of the bag body 50 is larger than the outer diameter of the container 5. When the switch 38 is turned on while the container 5 is housed inside the bag body 50, the on-off valve 36 is opened, and a low-temperature refrigerant is guided into the bag body 50. As a result, the bag body 50 expands to reduce the inner diameter, the inner peripheral surface of the bag body 50 comes into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the container 5, and the cooling efficiency of the container 5 is increased. When the cooling of the beverage is finished, the switch 38 is turned off. Thereby, the bag body 50 contracts and the inner diameter of the bag body 50 increases.

このように第３の実施の形態では、カップホルダの凹部１０の周壁１２に沿って袋体５０を配設し、袋体５０内に冷媒を導いて袋体５０を膨張させるようにしたので、袋体５０が容器５に密着し、飲料を効率よく冷却することができる。袋体５０と容器５との接触面積が大きいので、熱交換効率が高い。また、チューブ２０が不要であるため、構成を簡素化できる。   Thus, in the third embodiment, the bag body 50 is disposed along the peripheral wall 12 of the recess 10 of the cup holder, and the bag body 50 is expanded by guiding the refrigerant into the bag body 50. The bag body 50 adheres to the container 5 and can cool the beverage efficiently. Since the contact area between the bag body 50 and the container 5 is large, the heat exchange efficiency is high. Further, since the tube 20 is unnecessary, the configuration can be simplified.

なお、第３の実施の形態において、袋体５０内を周方向均一に冷媒が流れるように袋体５０内に流路を形成するようにしてもよい。また、冷媒の流入部５１を周方向に複数設けることで袋体５０内の流れを均一化してもよい。   In the third embodiment, a flow path may be formed in the bag body 50 so that the coolant flows uniformly in the circumferential direction in the bag body 50. The flow in the bag body 50 may be made uniform by providing a plurality of refrigerant inflow portions 51 in the circumferential direction.

−第４の実施の形態−
図７を参照して本発明による車両用カップホルダの第４の実施の形態について説明する。
第１〜第３の実施の形態ではカップホルダにより飲料を冷却する場合について説明したが、第４の実施の形態では飲料を加熱する場合について説明する。なお、以下では第３の実施の形態との相違点を主に説明する。 -Fourth embodiment-
A fourth embodiment of the vehicle cup holder according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
Although the case where the beverage is cooled by the cup holder has been described in the first to third embodiments, the case where the beverage is heated will be described in the fourth embodiment. Hereinafter, differences from the third embodiment will be mainly described.

図７は、第４の実施の形態に係るカップホルダの要部構成を示す図である。第４の実施の形態では、袋体５０が冷凍サイクル（図４）のコンプレッサ３１とコンデンサ３２の間に並列に接続される。すなわち袋体５０の流入部５１は開閉弁３６を介してコンプレッサ３１の下流側に接続され、流出部５２はオリフィス３７を介してコンデンサ３２の上流側に接続される。   FIG. 7 is a view showing a main configuration of a cup holder according to the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the bag body 50 is connected in parallel between the compressor 31 and the condenser 32 of the refrigeration cycle (FIG. 4). That is, the inflow portion 51 of the bag body 50 is connected to the downstream side of the compressor 31 via the on-off valve 36, and the outflow portion 52 is connected to the upstream side of the capacitor 32 via the orifice 37.

第４の実施の形態に係る車両用カップホルダの動作を説明する。
スイッチ３８をオフにした状態では開閉弁３６が閉じられ、袋体５０内を冷媒が流れない。そのため袋体５０は収縮し、袋体５０の内径は容器５の外径よりも大きくなる。袋体５０の内側に容器５を配置した状態でスイッチ３８をオンすると開閉弁３６が開放し、袋体５０内に高温高圧の冷媒が導かれる。これにより袋体５０が膨張して内径が小さくなり、袋体５０の内周面が容器５の外周面に密着する。その結果、袋体５０から容器５への伝熱が促進され、飲料を効率よく加熱することができる。飲料の加熱が終了するとスイッチ３８をオフする。これにより袋体５０が収縮し、袋体５０の内径が広がる。 The operation of the vehicle cup holder according to the fourth embodiment will be described.
In the state where the switch 38 is turned off, the on-off valve 36 is closed, and the refrigerant does not flow through the bag body 50. Therefore, the bag body 50 contracts, and the inner diameter of the bag body 50 is larger than the outer diameter of the container 5. When the switch 38 is turned on with the container 5 placed inside the bag body 50, the on-off valve 36 is opened, and high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is introduced into the bag body 50. As a result, the bag body 50 expands to reduce the inner diameter, and the inner peripheral surface of the bag body 50 comes into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the container 5. As a result, heat transfer from the bag body 50 to the container 5 is promoted, and the beverage can be efficiently heated. When the heating of the beverage is finished, the switch 38 is turned off. As a result, the bag body 50 contracts and the inner diameter of the bag body 50 increases.

このように第４の実施の形態では、冷凍サイクルのコンプレッサ３１とコンデンサ３２の間に開閉弁３６，袋体５０，オリフィス３７を並列に接続し、袋体５０内に高温高圧の冷媒を導くようにしたので、袋体５０と容器５を接触させることができ、飲料を効率よく加熱することができる。   As described above, in the fourth embodiment, the on-off valve 36, the bag body 50, and the orifice 37 are connected in parallel between the compressor 31 and the condenser 32 of the refrigeration cycle so as to guide the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant into the bag body 50. Since it was made, the bag body 50 and the container 5 can be made to contact and a drink can be heated efficiently.

なお、以上の実施の形態では、容器５の周囲に容器５に対して接近および離間可能にチューブ２０，４１を設け（図２，図５）、あるいは冷媒圧力によって伸縮する袋体５０を設けたが（図６，図７）、凹部１０の内壁に沿って冷媒が流れる流路を形成して該冷媒により飲料容器を冷却するのであれば、流路の構成は上述したものに限らない。また、容器５の外表面の近傍を冷媒が流れるのであれば、冷媒の流路（２０，４１，５０）は必ずしも容器５に密着しなくてもよく、流路を移動不能および伸縮不能としてもよい。   In the above embodiment, the tubes 20 and 41 are provided around the container 5 so as to be able to approach and separate from the container 5 (FIGS. 2 and 5), or the bag body 50 that expands and contracts by the refrigerant pressure is provided. However, as long as the flow path through which the refrigerant flows is formed along the inner wall of the recess 10 and the beverage container is cooled by the refrigerant, the configuration of the flow path is not limited to that described above. Further, if the refrigerant flows in the vicinity of the outer surface of the container 5, the refrigerant flow path (20, 41, 50) may not necessarily be in close contact with the container 5, and the flow path may be immovable and non-stretchable. Good.

螺旋状のチューブ２０に作用する冷媒圧力により（図２）、あるいは袋体４０の伸縮により（図５）、チューブ２０，４１を密着させるようにしたが、容器５に流路を接近または離間させるのであれば、他の移動手段を用いてもよい。開閉弁３６の開閉により袋体５０内に冷媒を流し、袋体５０を流れる冷媒により袋体５０を伸縮して容器５に密着するようにしたが（図５，図６）、流路の伸縮により流路が容器に接近または離間するのであれば、他の流れ制御手段を用いてもよい。冷凍サイクルの構成は図４に示したものに限らない。スイッチ３８の操作により冷媒の流れを制御したが、温度センサ等の検出値に応じて冷媒の流れを制御してもよい。   The tubes 20 and 41 are brought into close contact by the refrigerant pressure acting on the spiral tube 20 (FIG. 2) or by expansion and contraction of the bag body 40 (FIG. 5). In this case, other moving means may be used. The refrigerant flows into the bag body 50 by opening and closing the on-off valve 36, and the bag body 50 is expanded and contracted by the refrigerant flowing through the bag body 50 so as to be in close contact with the container 5 (FIGS. 5 and 6). If the flow path approaches or separates from the container, other flow control means may be used. The configuration of the refrigeration cycle is not limited to that shown in FIG. Although the flow of the refrigerant is controlled by operating the switch 38, the flow of the refrigerant may be controlled according to a detection value of a temperature sensor or the like.

カップホルダの形状および配置は図１に示したものに限らず、収容部としての凹部１０を有するいかなるカップホルダに対しても本発明を適用可能である。すなわち、本発明の特徴、機能を実現できる限り、本発明は実施の形態の車両用カップホルダに限定されない。なお、以上の説明はあくまで一例であり、発明を解釈する際、上記実施形態の記載事項と特許請求の範囲の記載事項の対応関係になんら限定も拘束もされない。   The shape and arrangement of the cup holder are not limited to those shown in FIG. 1, and the present invention can be applied to any cup holder having the recess 10 as the accommodating portion. That is, the present invention is not limited to the vehicle cup holder of the embodiment as long as the features and functions of the present invention can be realized.
