Therefore, since each component of the gear type linkage mechanism 50 is not exposed to the outside of the floor console FC, the appearance does not deteriorate when the console lid 20 is brought to the fully open position. The slide mechanism 44 includes a pinion gear 45 and a rack gear 46 that mesh with each other, and a rotating gear 52 that is linked to the pinion gear 45 further includes a fixed gear 51 via a first intermediate gear 53A and a second intermediate gear 53B. It is linked to. That is, the rotation of the pinion gear 45 is allowed only when the rotating gear 52 rotates. Therefore, when the rotation gear 52 rotates by the opening / closing operation of the console lid 20, the slide member 30 can be reliably slid relative to the rotation base member 21 by the rotation of the pinion gear 45, while the console lid 20. When the opening / closing operation is stopped, the rotation of the rotation gear 52 is stopped, whereby the rotation of the pinion gear 45 is restricted, and the slide member 30 can be reliably stopped and held with respect to the rotation base member 21. As a result, the slide member 30 can be appropriately held with respect to the rotary base member 21 even when the console lid 20 facing the fully open position is in the upwardly inclined state.

The belt accommodating portion 24E is formed with a first guide groove 69 for guiding the first belt portion 63A and a second guide groove 70 for guiding the second belt portion 63B. The second support arm 24 is provided with a cover (not shown) for covering the belt accommodating portion 24E so as to cover the belt 63 accommodated in the belt accommodating portion 24E.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the belt-type linkage mechanism 60 disposed in the floor console FC, when the console lid 20 is in the fully closed position, the first opening 24 </ b> C of the second support arm 24 has the belt winding body 61. It is located in the vicinity of the front end of the belt winding portion. Accordingly, in the belt 63, the second belt portion 63B is longer than the first belt portion 63A. During the opening operation of the console lid 20, the first opening 24 </ b> C formed in the second support arm 24 moves rearward along the outer periphery of the belt winding body 61 as shown in FIG. 9 or 10. At this time, the belt 63 moves from the second guide groove 70 to the first guide groove 69 in the belt accommodating portion 24E of the second support arm 24. As the belt 63 moves, the rotary pulley 62 moves in the opposite direction in FIG. While rotating clockwise, the pinion gear 45 rotates clockwise in FIG. 3 as described above. Therefore, in the console lid opening / closing structure of the second embodiment, when the console lid 20 facing the fully closed position is rotated in the direction of the fully open position, the rotary pulley 62 rotates by the amount of movement of the belt 63, Since the pinion gear 45 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 8, the slide member 30 slides behind the rotation base member 21, that is, toward the rear side of the console body 10. When the console lid 20 reaches the fully open position, as shown in FIG. 10, the slide member 30 slides to the rear side with respect to the rotation base member 21 by a required amount (for example, about 100 mm).

  Further, in the state where the console lid 20 is in the fully open position, the belt-type linkage mechanism 60 has the first opening 24C of the second support arm 24 at the rear end of the belt winding portion of the belt winding body 61 as shown in FIG. It is located near the part. Accordingly, in the belt 63, the first belt portion 63A is longer than the second belt portion 63B. During the closing operation of the console lid 20, the first opening 24 </ b> C formed in the second support arm 24 moves forward along the outer periphery of the belt winding body 61. At this time, the belt 63 moves from the first guide groove 69 to the second guide groove 70 in the belt accommodating portion 24E of the second support arm 24, and the rotation pulley 62 is moved in FIG. And the pinion gear 45 rotates clockwise in FIG. 8 as described above. Therefore, in the console lid opening / closing structure of the second embodiment, when the console lid 20 facing the fully open position is rotated in the direction of the fully closed position, the rotary pulley 62 rotates by the amount of movement of the belt 63, and the slide mechanism 44 Since the pinion gear 45 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. 8, the slide member 30 slides to the front of the rotation base member 21, that is, the front side of the console main body 10.

  Therefore, the console lid opening / closing structure of the second embodiment has the following effects. First, since the pinion gear 45 of the slide mechanism 44 is linked by the belt-type linkage mechanism 60 so as to be interlocked with the opening operation of the console lid 20, the rotating base member 21 with respect to the console body 10 is opened during the opening operation of the console lid 20. And the slide movement of the slide member 30 with respect to the rotation base member 21 occur at the same time, the opening operation of the console lid 20 is smoothly performed by the action of one action. Further, even when the console lid 20 is closed, the rotation of the rotary base member 21 relative to the console body 10 and the sliding movement of the slide member 30 relative to the rotary base member 21 occur at the same time. The closing operation of the lid 20 is performed smoothly.

  Further, the belt winding body 61 and the rotary pulley 62 are disposed in the console main body 10 and the console lid 20, respectively, and the belt 63 is disposed in the second support arm 24. Therefore, each component of the belt-type linkage mechanism 60 is not exposed to the outside of the floor console FC, so that the appearance does not deteriorate when the console lid 20 is brought to the fully open position. The slide mechanism 44 includes a pinion gear 45 and a rack gear 46 that mesh with each other, and a rotary pulley 62 that is linked to the pinion gear 45 is linked to a belt winding body 61 via a belt 63. That is, the rotation of the pinion gear 45 is allowed only when the rotary pulley 62 rotates. Therefore, when the rotary pulley 62 is rotated by the opening / closing operation of the console lid 20, the slide member 30 can be reliably slid relative to the rotary base member 21 by the rotation of the pinion gear 45, while the console lid 20. When the opening / closing operation is stopped, the rotation of the rotary pulley 62 is stopped, whereby the rotation of the pinion gear 45 is restricted, and the slide member 30 can be reliably stopped and held with respect to the rotary base member 21. As a result, the slide member 30 can be appropriately held with respect to the rotary base member 21 even when the console lid 20 facing the fully open position is in the upwardly inclined state.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the intermediate gear that links the fixed gear 51 and the rotary pulley 62 is composed of two parts including the first intermediate gear 53A and the second intermediate gear 53B is illustrated. The number is not limited to this, and the number may be one or three or more. Further, the intermediate gear may be disposed in the second support arm 24.

  In the first embodiment, the rotary gear 52 and the pinion gear 45 are linked via the first linkage gear 57 and the second linkage gear 58. However, the rotary gear 52 and the pinion gear 45 are directly connected. It is also possible to do. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a tooth portion 71 that meshes with a tooth portion of the rotation gear 52 is provided in an arc shape on the lower end surface of the pinion gear 45 that faces the rotation gear 52, and rotation of the rotation gear 52 is caused to rotate. 45 may be directly transmitted.

  In the second embodiment, the belt winding body 61 has a fan shape. However, the belt winding body 61 may be a disk-shaped member. Further, the belt winding body 61 and the rotary pulley 62 may be provided at a position adjacent to the first support arm 23, and the belt 63 may be disposed in the first support arm 23.

  In the second embodiment, the rotary pulley 62 and the pinion gear 45 are linked via the first linkage gear 67 and the second linkage gear 68. However, the rotary pulley 62 and the pinion gear 45 are directly connected. It is also possible to do. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the belt 63 has excellent flexibility, the rotary pulley 62 is directly fixed to the lower end surface of the pinion gear 45, and the belt 63 is extended and wound around the rotary pulley 62. You may do it. FIG. 12 illustrates the case where the belt 63 is disposed on the first support arm 23.
