Description

The invention relates to a shelf arrangement of a vehicle and a vehicle with a shelf arrangement.

Shelves are known from the prior art, in which compressed gas springs are used to open them. However, a compressed gas spring has the disadvantage that its service life is influenced by several factors. For example, temperature changes can affect the aging of the sealing material of the gas spring and thus accelerate the process of loss of power of the gas spring. This affects the functionality of the shelf. Furthermore, a gas spring is associated with relatively high costs.

It is therefore an object of the invention to propose a reliable and inexpensive shelf arrangement for a vehicle.

This task is solved by the combination of features of the independent claim.

In particular, the shelf arrangement of a vehicle comprises a first component, a second component and a support rod. The first component is pivotably arranged on the second component. Furthermore, a first end of the support rod is arranged on the first component so as to be displaceable along an axis and rotatably on the first component. A second end of the support rod is rotatably arranged on the second component. The first component is a shelf and the second component is a support structure. Alternatively, the first component is a support structure and the second component is a shelf.

The proposed insert arrangement offers the advantage that the insert floor can be opened and closed reliably by means of an arrangement of simple mechanical components without a compressed gas spring. Thus, the proposed shelf arrangement is fail-safe and inexpensive. Furthermore, it is possible to retrofit vehicles with an insert that is opened by means of a compressed gas spring with the proposed insert arrangement without great effort.

The support structure can preferably be designed as a separate component or as a body area.

The first component is arranged on the second component so as to be pivotable about a first axis. The first end of the support rod is in particular arranged rotatably about a second axis which is parallel to the first axis. The second end of the support rod is in particular arranged rotatably about a third axis which is parallel to the second axis.

In particular, the support rod has an unchangeable (constant) length.

Advantageously, the first end of the support rod can be displaced on the first component by a sliding element arranged in a guide rail. The displaceability of the first end of the support rod on the first component is thus realized in a simple manner.

The sliding element is preferably arranged at the first end of the support rod.

The guide rail is preferably arranged on the first component. The guide rail can preferably be screwed to the first component.

In particular, the guide rail is arranged on the first component, the first component being a shelf.

Furthermore, in an end position of the sliding element, the support rod is preferably perpendicular to a horizontal plane. Thus, in the end position, the shelf can be supported by the support rod without the shelf having to be held by one person with his hand.

In an end position of the sliding element, the sliding element is preferably arranged centrally on the first component. The first component is preferably a shelf.

The end position of the sliding element corresponds in particular to an end position of the shelf in which the shelf can no longer be opened.

The end position of the sliding element means in particular that the sliding element cannot be displaced further beyond its end position in the guide rail.

The sliding element preferably has a receiving area in which the first end of the support rod is received in a form-fitting manner. A secure releasable connection of the first end of the support rod to the sliding element can thus be achieved. Furthermore, the positive connection between the receiving area and the first end of the support rod has the advantage that there is a degree of freedom in this connection, so that assembly errors and / or design deviations of the receiving area and / or the first end of the Support rod can be compensated for by the degree of freedom.

The first end of the support rod is particularly preferably pressed into the receiving region of the sliding element. This also has the advantage that the assembly and disassembly of the first end of the support rod can be done quickly and easily. To remove the first end of the support rod, the first end must simply be pulled off the receiving area.

An element is preferably arranged in the guide rail, which is designed to non-positively block the sliding element in an end position. A positive connection has the advantage that there is no play between the connecting elements. The end position of the sliding element can thus be ensured.

The element which is designed to non-positively block the sliding element in an end position is particularly preferably a spring element. The sliding element cannot be moved any further in the end position.

In particular, the element is a leaf spring. In the end position, the leaf spring presses the sliding element against the guide rail, so that the sliding element is blocked in the end position.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a vehicle with a previously described shelf arrangement.

The vehicle preferably has a body area which serves as a support structure. Alternatively, the support structure can preferably be designed as a separate component which is arranged on a body region of the vehicle. In the latter case, the support structure can preferably be part of the shelf arrangement.

The insert arrangement of claim 1 is preferably defined as an independently tradable object even without the carrying structure. This applies in particular to the case in which the support structure is designed as a body area.

Accordingly, the present invention can also be defined by the following features.

The insertion arrangement of a vehicle comprises a shelf and a support rod. The shelf is set up in such a way that the shelf can be pivotably arranged on a support structure. A first end of the support rod is slidably arranged along an axis and rotatably on the shelf, and a second end of the support rod is set up such that the second end can be rotatably arranged on a support structure. Alternatively, a first end can be designed to be displaceable along an axis and rotatably arranged on a support structure, a second end of the support rod being rotatably arranged on the shelf.

At the first end of the support rod, a sliding element is preferably arranged, which is arranged displaceably in a guide rail.

The guide rail is preferably arranged on the shelf or can be arranged on the support structure.

In an end position of the sliding element, the support rod is preferably perpendicular to a horizontal plane.

In an end position of the sliding element, the sliding element is preferably arranged centrally on the shelf or can be arranged on the support structure.

The sliding element preferably has a receiving area in which the first end of the support rod is received in a form-fitting manner.

The first end of the support rod is preferably pressed into the receiving area.

An element is preferably arranged in the guide rail, which is designed to non-positively block the sliding element in an end position.

The element is preferably a spring element, in particular a leaf spring.

Furthermore, the shelf arrangement preferably comprises a support structure. This means that the support structure is part of the shelf arrangement in this case. In the above clauses, the term "can be arranged" can then be replaced by the term "is arranged".

According to an alternative preferred embodiment, the support structure can be a body area of a vehicle.

In 1 are also a longitudinal axis 102 , a transverse axis 103 and a vertical axis 104 of the vehicle 100 drawn.

Furthermore, the support rod 3rd at a first end 31 slidable along an axis 14 and rotatable on the shelf 2nd arranged ( 2nd and 3rd ). Furthermore, the support rod 3rd at a second end 32 on the support structure 4th rotatably arranged.

The first end 31 the support rod 3rd is about a second axis 12th rotatably positioned parallel to the first axis 11 is. The second end 32 the support rod 3rd is about a third axis 13 rotatably arranged parallel to the second axis 12th is.

The first axis 11 , the second axis 12th and the third axis 13 are parallel to the transverse axis 103 of the vehicle 100 .

The axis 14 moves with the shelf 2nd together. A projection of the axis 14 to a horizontal level 105 ( 2nd ) is parallel to the longitudinal axis 102 of the vehicle 100 . In particular, the axis 14 parallel to the longitudinal axis 102 of the vehicle 100 when the shelf 2nd is in the closed state. The 1 to 3rd put the shelf 2nd in an open state, especially in a completely open state.

The shelf 2nd corresponds to a first component, with the support structure 4th corresponds to a second component.

At the first end 31 the support rod 3rd is a sliding element 5 arranged, which in a guide rail 6 is slidably arranged.

The guide rail 6 is on the shelf 2nd applied and connected to it, for example by means of screws.

The completely open condition of the shelf 2nd which, as mentioned above, in 1 to 3rd shown corresponds to an end position of the sliding element 5 in the guide rail 6 . In other words, an end position of the sliding element corresponds 5 in the guide rail 6 an end position of the shelf 2nd . In the end position the shelf can 2nd cannot be opened further.

Out 2nd it can be seen that in the end position of the sliding element 5 the support rod 3rd perpendicular to the horizontal plane 105 stands. The support structure 4th is on the horizontal plane 105 arranged.

In the end position of the sliding element 5 is also the sliding element 5 in the middle of the shelf 2nd along the axis 14 positioned ( 2nd and 3rd ).

To record the first end 31 the support rod 3rd has the sliding element 5 a recording area 50 on. In the recording area 50 is the first end 31 the support rod 3rd positively added.

In particular, the recording area includes 50 at least one circular opening 51 , preferably two circular openings 51 ( 3rd ). Through the circular openings 51 goes a cylindrical element 33 with what the support rod 3rd at the first end 31 with the sliding element 5 are connected. Here is the cylindrical element 33 as a connecting element, for example Bolt formed, which through corresponding openings 34 the support rod 3rd goes through.

Alternatively, the cylindrical element 33 as part of the support rod 3rd or the first end 31 the support rod 3rd be trained.

If you look at 3rd , it turns out that in the guide rail 6 an element 7 is arranged, which is set up, the sliding element 5 to block non-positively in the end position.

The element 7 is in particular a spring element 70 , preferably a leaf spring. The element 7 is on the guide rail 6 , especially by means of blind rivets. Furthermore, the leaf spring preferably has a width of 0.7 mm.

To block the sliding element 5 in the end position, the leaf spring presses the sliding element 5 against the guide rail 6 .

Out 4th it can be seen that the guide rail 6 preferably has a U-shaped cross section with enlarged ends.

With the proposed shelf arrangement 1 can the support rod 3rd together with the remaining components without the shelf 2nd and the support structure 4th as an opening mechanism for the shelf 2nd be designated. This opening mechanism has a simple structure, which also ensures reliable operation of the insert arrangement 1 is made possible.

5 and 6 refer to an insert arrangement 1 according to a second embodiment.

The structure of the insert arrangement 1 according to the second embodiment basically corresponds to that of the insert arrangement 1 according to the first embodiment.

The difference is that in the second embodiment, the non-positive reception of the first end 31 the support rod 3rd in the recording area 50 of the sliding element 5 done by a press-fit connection.

In other words, the first end 31 the support rod 3rd in the recording area 50 of the sliding element 5 pressed in. This is done in particular by pressing the cylindrical element 33 in the recording area 50 .
