Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle storage device.

  Vehicles such as automobiles are provided with various vehicle storage devices such as cup holder devices in the vehicle interior. Such vehicle storage devices include a space-saving device that has a lid that can be opened and closed with respect to the body of the storage device and that can accommodate the lid when opened (for example, patents). Reference 1).

  A conventional space-saving vehicular storage device includes a storage device main body 3 having a storage portion 1 and a lid guide portion 2 as shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 (mainly refer to FIG. 11), for example. ing. The article storage device main body 3 is mainly composed of an article storage section 1 and has an opening in the upper part thereof. The lid guide part 2 is attached from the position of the opening part of the upper part of the storage part 1 to the back side (outside) of the storage part 1. In this case, the storage part 1 and the lid guide part 2 are integrally formed.

  Further, a lid 4 that can be opened and closed by moving along the lid guide portion 2 between the position of the opening of the receptacle 1 and the position on the back side of the receptacle 1 with respect to the article storage device body 3. It has.

  An opening / closing arm 5 as an opening / closing mechanism for opening / closing the lid body 4 is provided between the lower part of the side of the article storage device body 3 (the article storage portion 1) and the intermediate portion of the lid body 4 side portion in the opening / closing direction. A connecting shaft is attached via rotating shafts 6 and 7.

  Further, the rear side of the storage unit 1 from the laterally closed posture that closes the opening of the storage unit 1 between the side of the storage unit main body 3 (lid guide unit 2) and the side of the lid 4. A posture changing mechanism 8 is provided that can change the posture of the lid body 4 to a vertically opened opening posture that is accommodated in the housing.

  This posture changing mechanism 8 is a cam mechanism. That is, the posture changing mechanism 8 includes a guide shaft 9 provided at the back of the lid body 4 in the opening / closing direction, and a posture changing cam groove 10 provided at the back side of the article storage device body and guiding the guide shaft 9. It consists of and. The posture changing cam groove 10 has a vertically long substantially circular arc shape that protrudes toward the front side.

  An urging means 11 that can urge the lid body 4 in the opening direction is provided between the storage device main body 3 and the lid body 4. This urging means 11 is provided in the posture changing mechanism 8 (cam mechanism). In other words, the urging means 11 is a latch provided at the position below the guide shaft 9 and the axis of the posture changing cam groove 10 on the lower side of the side of the article storage device body 3 (lid guide portion 2). A tension spring 13 is interposed between the point 12 and the point 12.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10, a damping means 14 capable of damping the urging force by the urging means 11 is provided. The damping means 14 is provided on the side surface of the body 3 so as to mesh with a viscous damper 15 (bidirectional damper) attached to the opening / closing arm 5 and an input gear attached to the input shaft of the viscous damper 15. The sector gear 16 is provided. The sector gear 16 is formed in an arc shape around the rotation shaft 7. 9 and 10, only the mounting seat is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 for convenience of drawing, and the viscous damper 15 is attached to the mounting seat.

  A lock mechanism (not shown) is provided between the storage device main body 3 and the lid body 4.

  According to such a configuration, when the lock mechanism is removed from the state in which the object storage device main body 3 (the opening thereof) is closed as shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, the cover body 4 is applied by the urging force of the urging means 11. Is pulled, and the lid 4 is moved along the lid guide part 2 from the position of the opening of the article storage part 1 to the back side (outside) of the article insertion part 1. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, the container body 3 (opening thereof) is opened.

  At the same time, the posture of the lid body 4 is changed by the posture changing mechanism 8 from the laterally closed posture in which the container portion 1 is closed to the vertically opened posture accommodated in the lid guide portion 2.

  However, in the conventional space-saving vehicular storage device described above, the posture changing mechanism 8 is composed of the guide shaft 9 and the posture changing cam groove 10 (because it is a cam mechanism). It was difficult to synchronize the opening / closing operation and the posture changing operation of the lid 4 well over the entire area (see FIG. 13). As a result, useless play, a pushing angle by the cam mechanism, a change in resistance, and the like occur, and it is difficult to obtain a smooth movement.

  In addition, a discontinuous operation or a stepping operation in which a difference in posture change amount (or posture change amount) or opening speed suddenly increases occurs at the beginning of opening of the lid 4 (initial stage of opening) or the end of opening (late stage of opening). It was.

  More specifically, at the initial stage of opening, as shown in FIG. 14, since the posture of the lid 4 is mainly changed around the rotation shaft 6, the movement of the opening / closing arm 5 is small, and the opening / closing arm 5 The damping means 14 provided in the portion hardly functions. Therefore, the opening speed of the lid 4 is increased.

  In the middle stage of opening, as shown in FIG. 15, the movement of the opening / closing arm 5 centering on the rotation shaft 7 is the main, so that the damping means 14 functions and the opening speed of the lid 4 is rapidly decelerated.

  In the latter stage of opening, as shown in FIG. 16, since the posture of the lid body 4 is mainly changed around the guide shaft 9, the movement of the opening / closing arm 5 is reduced again, and the opening / closing arm 5 is provided. The damping means 14 and the biasing means 11 hardly function. Therefore, the only factor that affects the opening speed of the lid 4 is a change in its own weight, making it impossible to control the speed.

  On the other hand, although the tension spring 13 is used as the biasing means 11, the tension spring 13 exhibits a linear curve (linear) characteristic as shown in FIG. 17 when used in a device that performs linear motion. On the other hand, when it is used in a device that performs a rotational motion or a non-linear motion as shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, it is affected by the component force in the rotational direction. For example, a complicated curve as shown in FIG. Because it becomes a characteristic, it becomes difficult to handle.

  For these reasons, in the posture changing mechanism 8 using the guide shaft 9 and the posture changing cam groove 10, it is difficult to smoothly control the opening speed characteristic of the lid 4. In this case, the opening speed characteristic was as shown in FIG.

  For the same reason, the operating force characteristic when the lid 4 is closed is not smooth, and it is difficult to obtain a smooth operation feeling.

  Furthermore, since the structure of the storage unit 3 is divided into the storage unit 1 and the lid guide unit 2, the volume of the storage unit 1 is reduced accordingly.

  Further, since the urging means 11 is attached to the posture changing mechanism 8 and the damping means 14 is attached (can only be) to the opening / closing mechanism portion, how the urging means 11 and the damping means 14 work. There was little room to select (set / adjust).

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the invention described in claim 1, the opening can be closed by being located on the upper part of the opening in a lying state with the body of the body having the opening on the upper surface. A lid body provided in such a manner that it can be reciprocated and repositioned between an open position where the opening can be opened by retreating from the upper part of the opening in a standing state, And an opening / closing mechanism that can reciprocate between a closed position and an open position, and a side part between the storage device main body and the cover body.

The opening position is set to a position inside the storage device body and facing the back wall of the storage device body, and the opening / closing mechanism includes a lower portion of the storage device body and an intermediate portion in the movement direction of the lid body. Between the opening and closing central shaft portion and the first support shaft portion, and the opening and closing arm, the posture changing mechanism, between the front portion of the storage device body and the back portion of the lid, A posture changing arm connected via a tilting central shaft portion and a second support shaft portion;
The urging mechanism includes a torsion spring that can be interposed between the object storage device main body and the lid, and the torsion spring is configured to be in contact with the peripheral portion of the opening / closing central shaft portion and the peripheral portion of the tilting central shaft portion. Since each of the torsion spring attachment portions to which the spring can be attached is provided, the torsion spring can be selectively attached to at least one of the two torsion spring attachment portions.
The damping mechanism includes a damper device and a sector gear that meshes with an input gear of the damper device, and between the opening / closing arm and the storage device body, and between the posture changing arm and the storage device body. Each of which is provided with a sector gear, and the other is provided with a damper device mounting portion capable of mounting a damper device with respect to each sector gear, thereby providing a damper device for at least one of the two damper device mounting portions. It is characterized by a vehicle storage device having a configuration that can be selectively attached.

  According to invention of Claim 1, the following effects can be acquired by the said structure. That is, the posture changing mechanism is easily provided with a posture changing arm that connects the front portion of the container body and the back portion of the lid through the tilting central shaft portion and the second support shaft portion. In addition, it is possible to achieve synchronization with the opening / closing arm of the opening / closing mechanism, so that it is possible to eliminate a sudden change in posture from the opening start to the opening end of the lid. Further, the torsion spring as the urging mechanism can obtain a linear curve (linear) characteristic with respect to the device that performs the rotational motion. From these things, it becomes possible to make the speed characteristic when the lid is opened and the operating force characteristic when the lid is closed easily smooth. Furthermore, since the opening position is set to a position inside the article storage device main body and facing the inner wall of the article storage device main body, the structure of the article storage device main body is not divided into an article insertion portion and a lid housing portion. Therefore, it is possible to secure a large volume of the storage device main body accordingly. Since the two torsion spring mounting portions and the two damper device mounting portions can be freely selected and used, the effect of the torsion spring and the damper device can be freely selected depending on the combination thereof. .
