Description

  The present invention includes a main body member that defines an article storage section that opens upward, a tray member that defines an article placement section on the upper surface and can cover the article storage section, and can cover the article placement section. A lid member, and only the lid member is displaced in posture to open the article mounting portion, and both the members are displaced in posture while the lid member is connected to the tray member so as not to be opened. The present invention relates to a console box configured to be openable.

  In a car, a console that can store portable items such as personal belongings and in-vehicle supplies (hereinafter referred to as “goods”) on the floor between the front seats (between the driver seat and the passenger seat) in the passenger compartment. Some have a box. This console box has been proposed in various forms and design shapes for each vehicle type, for example, a main body member that defines an article storage section that opens upward, and an article placement section on the upper surface. Thus, a console box including a tray member disposed on the upper portion of the main body member and a lid member capable of opening and closing the article placement unit has been put into practical use. In such a console box, only the lid member is displaced in posture to open the article mounting portion of the tray member, or the lid member and the tray member are integrally displaced in posture to open the article storage portion of the main body member. Is possible.

  A conventional console box including a main body member, a tray member, and a lid member includes an open / close lock mechanism for engaging / disengaging the main body member and the tray member, and an open / close lock mechanism for engaging / disengaging the tray member and the lid member. Separate arrangements have been proposed. However, when two opening / closing lock mechanisms are provided, the tray member and the lid member are increased in size in order to secure an installation space for both opening / closing lock mechanisms, or there are design restrictions on the tray member and the lid member. In some cases, there is a disadvantage that the two open / close lock mechanisms cannot be provided. In addition, when the operation member of each open / close lock mechanism is downsized to reduce the installation space, there is a disadvantage that the operability by the fingertip is reduced. In view of this, a console box has been proposed in which the engagement / disengagement operation between the main body member and the tray member and the engagement / disengagement operation between the tray member and the lid member can be performed by one opening / closing lock mechanism (for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-48454 JP 2005-299242 A

  The console box disclosed in Patent Document 1 has two operation portions (first knob and second knob) and two engagement portions (first engagement portion and second engagement portion) above and below one operation member (lock knob). Stop) is provided. In such an open / close lock mechanism, when the first knob is pressed and the knob is rotated, the second locking portion moves in the direction opposite to the release direction, and when the second knob is pressed and the knob is rotated, the first locking portion is released. Move in the opposite direction. When the lid member is rotated and opened, the lock knob remains in the second box. If the lid member is not equipped with a rotation assist mechanism such as a spring or a damper, There is a problem that it is necessary to rotate the lid member with the other hand while operating the lock knob by hand, and the lid member cannot be easily rotated. It is also pointed out that the first knob and the second knob are adjacent to each other in the upper and lower directions, and that both knobs are rotated in the same direction of operation, so that an operation error due to a mistake in pressing both knobs is likely to occur. The

  The console box (vehicle interior device) disclosed in Patent Document 2 includes an opening / closing lock mechanism that enables a slide member to be engaged and disengaged and a rotating member to be engaged and disengaged with a single operation member (knob). However, in the open / close lock mechanism, the distance between the knob and the engagement / disengagement position of the slide member is increased, and the operation direction (second direction B) of the knob associated with the slide operation of the slide member is different from the engagement / disengagement direction of the slide member. Since they are different, it is necessary to dispose a plurality of large linking members in order to change the transmission direction of the operating force applied to the knob. Similarly, the distance between the knob and the engaging / disengaging position of the rotating member is also increased, and the operation direction (first direction A) of the knob accompanying the rotating operation of the rotating member is different from the engaging / disengaging direction of the rotating member. Therefore, it is necessary to dispose a plurality of large linking members in order to change the transmission direction of the operating force applied to the knob. Further, when the knob is rotated upward, the slide member and the rotating member are rotated, and when the knob is rotated downward, the slide member is slid. Especially, the rotation direction of the knob and the slide direction of the slide member are However, there is also a problem that it is difficult to perform the slide operation of the slide member.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the lid member and the tray member are simplified and lightened, and the posture displacement of only the lid member and the posture displacement of both members in a state where the lid member is connected to the tray member so as not to be opened are simplified. It aims to provide a console box that can be used for

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem and achieve the intended object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention provides:
A main body member that defines an article storage section that opens upward; a tray member that defines an article placement section on the upper surface and can cover the article storage section; and a lid member that can cover the article placement section. It is possible to open the article placement section by opening only the lid member to displace the article placement section, and to displace both members in a state in which the lid member is connected to the tray member so as not to be opened. In the console box configured in
A first operating posture disposed on the lid member and slidingly displaced from the non-operating posture facing the one end edge of the lid member toward the direction away from the one end edge along the lid member; An operation member displaceable to a second operation posture rotated and displaced in the opening direction of the member;

Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the operating member is slid to the first operating posture, the first connecting portion of the first engaging body and the first engaging portion of the tray member slide on the operating member. In the same direction as the displacement direction, the second connecting portion of the second engaging body and the second engaging portion of the main body member are engaged with each other. The article placement section can be opened. And since the slide displacement direction toward the 1st operation attitude | position of the operation member is a direction which goes to the back of a console box, the open operativity of only the cover member by this operation member is favorable. Further, when the operating member is rotationally displaced to the second operating posture, the first connecting portion of the first engaging body and the first engaging portion of the tray member are engaged, and the second engaging body is rotated by the operating member. By rotating in the same direction as the displacement direction, the second connecting portion of the second engaging body and the second engaging portion of the main body member are detached in the same direction as the rotational displacement direction of the operation member, so that the lid member can be easily removed. In a state where the tray member is connected to the tray member so as not to be opened, both members can be displaced in posture to open the article storage portion of the main body member. Since the rotational displacement direction of the operation member toward the second operation posture is the same as the opening direction of the lid member and the tray member, the opening operability of the lid member and the tray member by the operation member is good. Further, in the non-operation posture of the operation member (when not operated), the first connection portion and the first engagement portion are engaged, and the second connection portion and the second engagement portion are engaged. In addition, the posture displacement of the tray member is restricted.
Further, the slide displacement direction of the operation member to the first operation posture is the same as the disengagement direction of the first connection portion and the first engagement portion, and the rotation displacement direction of the operation member to the second operation posture and the second connection direction. Since the disengagement direction of the part and the second engaging part is the same, the operation member can be operated with a light force, and the operability of the operation member can be improved. The operating member and the tray member are directly connected via the first engaging body and the first engaging portion, and the operating member and the main body member are the second engaging body and the second engaging member that are rotationally displaced by the operating member. Since it is connected via the joint, the number of components is reduced, operation failure is unlikely to occur, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the structure of the lid member and tray member can be simplified and reduced in weight. .

Further, as shown in FIG. 7A, in the second operation posture of the operation member 40 (the second position of the lever portion 42), the first connection protrusion 50 bites below the first engagement flange 51. The first engaging collar 51 is positioned so as to intersect the displacement path of the first connecting protrusion 50 in the opening direction of the lid member 30. That is, only when the operation member 40 is operated to the first operation posture, the engagement between the first connection protrusion 50 and the first engagement flange 51 in the opening direction of the lid member 30 is released, and the operation member 40 is moved. When not operated and when operated in the second operation posture, the engagement between the first connection protrusion 50 and the first engagement flange 51 in the opening direction of the lid member 30 is maintained. In other words, the opening / closing lock mechanism LU of the embodiment can separate the members 30 and 20 by releasing the connection between the lid member 30 and the tray member 20 only when the operation member 40 is operated to the first operation posture. When the operation member 40 is not operated and when the operation member 40 is operated in the second operation posture, the connection between the lid member 30 and the tray member 20 is maintained and the separation of the members 30 and 20 is disabled. A tip curved surface 51 </ b> A that is curved in the extending direction of the first engagement collar 51 is formed at the top end of the first engagement collar 51.

  Further, a contact edge portion 47 that can contact the lifting member 80 disposed on the tray member 20 from above is provided at the rear end edge of the lower end portion of the lever portion 42. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the contact edge portion 47 is an elevating member in the non-operation posture (the neutral position of the lever portion 42) and the first operation posture (the first position of the lever portion 42) of the operation member 40. It does not protrude to the 80 side and does not push the elevating member 80 downward. However, as shown in FIG. 7, the contact edge portion 47 moves toward the lifting member 80 side as the lever portion 42 is inclined in the second operation posture of the operation member 40 (second position of the lever portion 42). It comes to protrude and is pressed while pressing the elevating member 80 downward.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the elevating member 80 is disposed in the accommodating space portion 26 provided in the front portion of the tray member 20, and the position displacement (elevating displacement) in the vertical direction of the tray member 20 is changed. It is possible. The elevating member 80 can be accommodated in the accommodation space portion 26 in a horizontal state in accordance with the inner shape of the accommodation space portion 26 that is rectangular in a plan view (when the tray member 20 is viewed from above). It is formed in a rectangular block shape. That is, the front-rear size of the elevating member 80 is slightly smaller than the front-rear dimension of the accommodation space portion 26, and the left-right size of the elevating member 80 extends in the vertical direction on the left and right partition walls 28, 28 that define the accommodation space portion 26. It is set so as to be in sliding contact with the guide protrusions 28A and 28A that protrude so as to exist. Accordingly, the elevating member 80 is held in contact with the front and rear inner wall surfaces of the housing space 26 and the left and right guide protrusions 28A, 28A, and the housing space portion is controlled in a tilting displacement in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. 26.

  Further, a rectangular flat contact surface portion 81 that is aligned with the tray opening portion 27 formed in the tray member 20 protrudes from the upper surface of the elevating member 80. The contact surface portion 81 is aligned with the tray opening 27 when the elevating member 80 is moved to the uppermost position, and is flush with the upper surface of the tray body 21 (FIG. 1). The abutting edge portion 47 provided on the lever portion 42 of the operation member 40 abuts on the abutting surface portion 81 from above. The contact surface portion 81 is moved forward in the process of the posture displacement of the lever portion 42 from the vertical neutral position to the second position when the operation member 40 is rotationally displaced from the non-operation posture to the second operation posture. The moving contact edge 47 has a size capable of always contacting. Therefore, the elevating member 80 has a contact edge portion 47 that moves forward and downward due to the rotational displacement of the operation member 40 so as to always contact the contact surface portion 81 from above, so that the lift member 80 moves downward as the operation member 40 rotates. Moving.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the rear end edge portion on the lower surface of the elevating member 80 is formed with a protruding edge portion (contact portion) 82 protruding downward. The projecting edge portion 82 is in contact with a contact plate portion 61 (described later) of the rotating member 60 at a position spaced rearward in the radial direction from a rotation support shaft 63 (described later) that is the rotational displacement center of the rotating member 60. It has become. Therefore, as will be described later, when the elevating member 80 moves close to the rotating member 60, the projecting edge portion 82 presses the rear end side of the abutting plate portion 61 to push down the corresponding contacting plate portion 61, thereby the rotating member 60. Is configured to be rotationally displaced.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the rotating member 60 is disposed in the accommodating space portion 26 provided in the front portion of the tray member 20, and is attached to the tray member 20 so as to be capable of rotational displacement. Yes. The rotating member 60 is a rectangular plate-like contact plate portion 61 that extends rearward of the tray member 20 in the accommodation space portion 26, and is suspended downward from the front left and right center of the contact plate portion 61. And an extending portion 62 extending toward the main body opening 14 of the main body member 10. The second connecting projection 71 is formed at the lower end of the extending portion 62 so as to extend in a direction opposite to the rotational displacement direction of the rotating member 60 due to the pressing of the operating member 40 (lever portion 42). Yes. Rotating support shafts 63 and 63 extending outward in the left and right directions are provided on the same axis line in the left and right direction on the rear side of the extending portion 62 in the left and right end portions 61A and 61A of the contact plate 61. ing. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the rotation support shafts 63, 63 are rotatably engaged with the support holes 29, 29 formed in the partition walls 28, 28, respectively. Is pivotally supported with respect to the tray member 20 so as to be rotatable in the rotation direction (opening direction) of the tray member 20.

  Accordingly, the rotating member 60 has a third position (FIG. 1) in which the contact plate portion 61 extends rearward in the horizontal state and a rearward position in which the contact plate portion 61 is inclined rearward and downward. It can rotate with respect to the tray member 20 between the four positions (FIG. 7A). In other words, the rotary member 60 is displaced in the third position when the elevating member 80 is at the uppermost position shown in FIG. Further, when the lifting member 80 is displaced downward along with the rotational displacement of the operation member 40 to the second operation posture, the protruding edge portion 82 of the lifting member 80 is positioned on the upper surface of the contact plate 61. By pressing the rear end downward, the rear end rotates toward the fourth position (FIG. 7). That is, the rotation member 60 rotates in the same direction as the rotational displacement direction from the non-operation posture of the operation member 40 to the second operation posture.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, a torsion spring (second urging means) S <b> 2 is disposed on the left rotation support shaft 63. One leg portion S2a of the torsion spring S2 is locked to the lower surface of the contact plate portion 61 of the rotating member 60, and the other leg portion S2b of the torsion spring S2 is locked to the left partition wall 28, Accordingly, the torsion spring S2 biases the rotating member 60 toward the third position. Therefore, the rotation member 60 is biased and held at the third position when the operation member 40 is slid to the non-operation posture and the first operation posture.

  The 2nd connection protrusion 70 and the 2nd engagement collar part 71 which were provided in the lower end of the said rotation member 60 are set so that the following conditions may be satisfy | filled. First, as shown in FIG. 1, in the third position of the rotating member 60 (the non-operation posture of the operation member 40 and the first operation posture (the neutral position and the first position of the lever portion 42)), the second connection protrusion 70. Extends downward from the second engagement flange 71, and the second engagement flange 71 is positioned so as to intersect the displacement path of the second connecting protrusion 70 in the rotation direction (opening direction) of the tray member 20. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7A, in the fourth position of the rotating member 60 (the second operating posture of the operating member 40 (the second position of the lever portion 42)), the second connecting projection 70 is in the second position. The second engagement flange 71 is not positioned so as to cross the displacement path of the second connection protrusion 70 in the rotation direction (opening direction) of the tray member 20. That is, only when the operation member 40 is operated to the second operation posture, the engagement between the second connection protrusion 70 and the second engagement collar 71 is released, and the operation member 40 is not operated and the first operation posture. When operated, the engagement between the second connecting projection 70 and the second engagement collar 71 is maintained. In other words, the opening / closing lock mechanism LU of the embodiment can release the connection between the tray member 20 and the main body member 10 and separate the two members 20 and 10 only when the operation member 40 is operated to the second operation posture. When the operation member 40 is not operated and when the operation member 40 is operated in the first operation posture, the connection between the tray member 20 and the main body member 10 is maintained, and the separation of the members 20 and 10 is disabled. The lower end edge of the second connecting projection 70 is formed with a tip curved surface 70A that is curved in the extending direction of the second connecting projection 70.

  Therefore, when the operation member 40 is slid and displaced toward the first operation posture, the console box CB of the embodiment has the first engagement protrusion 51 of the tray member 20 and the first connection protrusion 50 of the lever portion 42. Since the engagement is released and the second engagement flange 71 of the main body member 10 and the second connection protrusion 70 of the rotation member 60 are engaged, the article of the tray member 20 is rotated by rotating only the lid member 30. The mounting part 23 can be opened. Since the slide displacement direction from the non-operation posture of the operation member 40 toward the first operation posture is the direction toward the rear of the console box CB, the opening operation of the lid member 30 by the operation of the operation member 40 is performed. The opening operability of only the lid member 30 is good.

  Further, when the operation member 40 is rotationally displaced toward the second operation posture, the first engagement collar portion 51 of the tray member 20 and the first connection protrusion 50 of the lever portion 42 are engaged, and the main body member 10 is also engaged. Since the engagement between the second engagement collar 71 of the rotary member 60 and the second connection protrusion 70 of the rotating member 60 is released, both the members 30 and 20 are connected in a state where the lid member 30 is connected to the tray member 20 so as not to be opened. Can be integrally rotated to open the article storage portion 13 of the main body member 10. Since the rotational displacement direction of the operation member 40 from the non-operation posture to the second operation posture is the same as the rotational displacement direction when the lid member 30 and the tray member 20 are opened, The opening operation of the lid member 30 and the tray member 20 by the operation can be easily performed, and the opening operability of both the members 30 and 20 in a state where the lid member 30 is connected to the tray member 20 so as not to be opened is good. .

  When the operation member 40 is not operated (when not operated), the first connection protrusion 50 and the first engagement collar 51 are engaged, and the second connection protrusion 70 and the second engagement flange are engaged. Since the portion 71 is engaged, the posture displacement of the lid member and the tray member is restricted. Further, the operation member 40 and the tray member 20 are directly connected by a lever portion 42 provided on the operation member 40, and the operation member 40 and the main body member 10 are connected to the lever portion 42 provided on the operation member 40. It is configured to be connected by a rotating member 60 connected through 80. Therefore, the operation force applied to the operation member 40 is efficiently transmitted, operation failure is unlikely to occur, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed, and the structure of the lid member 30 and the tray member 20 can be simplified and reduced in weight. .

  Further, when the operating member 40 is slid in the first operating posture, the first connecting protrusion 50 of the lever portion 42 and the first engaging collar 51 of the tray member 20 are in the sliding displacement direction of the operating member 40. Therefore, the operating force of the operating member 40 can be reduced. Further, when the operating member 40 is rotationally displaced to the second operating posture, the rotating member 60 rotates in the same direction as the rotational displacement direction of the operating member 40, and the second connecting protrusion 70 and the second member 10 of the main body member 10 are rotated. Since the engaging flange 71 is disengaged in the same direction as the rotational displacement direction of the operating member 40, the operating force of the operating member 40 can be reduced. Therefore, the operation member 40 can be operated with a light force, and the operability of the operation member 40 can be improved.
