Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a vehicle acoustic device, and is used to improve the acoustics inside a vehicle such as a hatchback vehicle in which the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment are in communication.

(Prior Art) In a vehicle such as a hatchback vehicle in which a passenger compartment and a luggage compartment communicate with each other, a speaker is attached to the side wall of the luggage compartment, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 53-43324. However, there are some models in which the mounting position of the speaker has been devised so that the sound from the speaker can be sufficiently transmitted into the vehicle interior. In such vehicles, in order to improve the appearance of the interior of the vehicle, it is common practice to cover the luggage in the luggage compartment with a covering member.

For example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-170052 discloses that in a vehicle in which a support shelf for supporting a cover member for covering luggage is provided on the side wall of the luggage compartment, an auxiliary shelf is provided on the support shelf and a speaker is installed on the auxiliary shelf. At the same time, a proposal was made to provide a cutout in the cover member so as not to interfere with the speaker.
Japanese Patent No. 54447 discloses a proposal in which a reinforcing member is provided between a wheel protruding into the cargo compartment and a side wall of the cargo compartment, a speaker is attached to this reinforcing member, and a rear shelf is supported.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in all of the above proposals, the speaker is made to protrude above the cover member in consideration of the acoustic characteristics of the speaker when the cover member is used. Therefore, the speaker itself cannot be hidden from view from outside the vehicle by the cover member, and
When opening and closing the cover member, the speaker becomes an obstacle, and it is necessary to avoid interference between the cover member and the speaker.

In other words, the problem of the present invention is to make the speaker invisible from the outside with a cover member, without impairing the acoustic characteristics of the speaker, to improve the appearance, and to make it possible to easily put in and take out the cover member. It's about doing.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve these problems, the present invention provides a storage device for the cover member at the front end of the luggage compartment, pulls out the cover member from there, and stores the storage unit above the speaker in the luggage compartment. In addition to making it possible to extend the entire width of the cover member, an opening is provided in a portion of the cover member facing the speaker so that sound can be emitted upward from the cover member.

In other words, the specific means for achieving this is as follows: The passenger compartment and the luggage compartment at the rear of the compartment communicate with each other, the rear suspension projects into the luggage compartment, and a covering member is provided to cover the luggage stored in the luggage compartment. In the vehicle, a speaker is attached to the upper part of the rear suspension tower, a storage device for a cover member is provided at the front end of the luggage compartment, and the cover member is pulled out from the storage device toward the rear of the vehicle and placed at a position higher than the speaker. The cover member is provided so that it can be stretched over almost the entire width of the cargo compartment, and when the cover member is pulled out from the storage device above the speaker, the cover member is extended from the speaker to the part facing the speaker. This is an audio device for a vehicle, characterized in that a sound emitting port for emitting sound upward is open.

(Function) In the vehicle acoustic device described above, when the cover member is stored in the storage device, there are no obstructions in the luggage compartment, so the luggage compartment can be used widely. On the other hand, when the cover member is pulled out, the cover member is placed over the speaker, making it difficult to see the speaker together with luggage from outside the vehicle. Sound can be emitted above the covering member and reverberate inside the vehicle.

In other words, the purpose of using the cover member is to make the luggage compartment area clear by making the luggage in the luggage compartment invisible from the outside. and,
The fact that when the cover member is used, the rear suspension tower and the speaker, which protrude into the luggage compartment, can be hidden by the cover member at the same time is consistent with the intended use of the cover member.

Further, since the cover member is pulled out above the speaker, there is no interference with the speaker when the cover member is taken in and out, and the cover member can be taken in and out easily.

Furthermore, since the speaker is attached to the rear suspension tower, which has relatively high rigidity, resonance between vehicle body vibration and the speaker is also prevented.

(Effect of the invention) Therefore, according to the invention, the speaker is attached to the upper part of the rear suspension tower projecting into the luggage compartment, and the upper part of the speaker is covered with the cover member pulled out from the storage device at the front end of the luggage compartment. and,
Since the sound emitting port is opened in this cover member, the cover member prevents the cargo in the luggage compartment, the suspension tower that protrudes from the luggage compartment, and the speakers from being seen from the outside without impairing the acoustic characteristics of the speaker. This makes it easier to improve the appearance of the vehicle. In addition, it becomes easy to take in and out the cover member, and resonance between the speaker and the vehicle body vibration can be prevented.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a hatchback vehicle, and FIG. 1 shows the rear of the vehicle 1. In the figure, 2 is a passenger compartment with seats 3, 4
