Further, the upper end portion 34A of the seat back 34 refers to a portion that supports the vicinity of the shoulder portion of the driver (occupant).

  The seat back 34 is configured to be tiltable (turnable) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body with a reclining mechanism (not shown) as a center, and the upper end portion 34A is seen in a side view as viewed from the vehicle width direction. The center pillar garnish 20 is tiltable toward the rear side of the vehicle body from the rear edge portion 20A of the center pillar garnish 20 (so as to take a substantially horizontal posture). In the following, the state of the seat 30 when the seat back 34 is in a substantially horizontal position (the state shown in FIG. 3) is referred to as a relaxed state.

  The center pillar garnish 20 is arranged substantially along the horizontal direction (vehicle width direction) from the state (contained state) arranged substantially along the vertical direction (vehicle body vertical direction) when viewed from the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. An auxiliary armrest 40 is provided in such a state (used state) that is configured to be rotatable about 90 degrees in the vehicle body up-and-down direction around one end portion 42 (see FIG. 4) described later.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the auxiliary armrest 40 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape that is sized such that the driver's (occupant's) elbow and the like can be placed (supports the arm). When the auxiliary armrest 40 is used, the one end portion 42 disposed on the outer side in the vehicle width direction (lower side of the vehicle body when stored) penetrates in the vehicle front-rear direction (a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction in a side view). A circular through hole 44 is formed.

  In addition, the center pillar garnish 20 is formed with a rectangular recess 50 that is substantially the same size as the auxiliary armrest 40 and has the same depth as the thickness of the auxiliary armrest 40. A circular through hole (not shown) is formed in each lower end portion of the front wall 52 and the rear wall 54 on the rear side of the vehicle body.

  Accordingly, the auxiliary armrest 40 is disposed in the recess 50 before the center pillar garnish 20 is attached to the center pillar 18, and the columnar support shaft 58 is formed in the through hole of the front wall 52 and the through hole 44 of the auxiliary armrest 40. And by being inserted into the through-hole of the rear wall 54 and being attached to the center pillar garnish 20, the center pillar garnish 20 is provided so as to be rotatable about its one end 42.

  The auxiliary armrest 40 is supported such that when the other end 46 side is turned to the vehicle interior side, the lower surface on the one end 42 side is in contact with the lower wall 56 on the vehicle body lower side in the recess 50. By this, it is held in a substantially horizontal state. Thus, the state in which the other end portion 46 of the auxiliary armrest 40 is disposed on the inner side in the vehicle width direction (a state in which the auxiliary armrest 40 protrudes toward the vehicle interior side) is the usage state of the auxiliary armrest 40, It is in a state where can be placed.

  On the other hand, the auxiliary armrest 40 is fitted (press-fitted) into the recess 50 with almost no gap when the other end 46 rotates to the outside of the passenger compartment, so that the auxiliary armrest 40 is stored and held in the center pillar garnish 20. It has become. Thus, the state in which the other end portion 46 of the auxiliary armrest 40 is disposed on the vehicle body upper side (the state in which the auxiliary armrest 40 does not protrude toward the vehicle interior side) is the storage state of the auxiliary armrest 40, and the seatback 34 extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction. This is a state where tilting and movement of the seat 30 (seat cushion 32) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body are possible.

  That is, the auxiliary armrest 40 is used when the seat 30 is disposed at the rearmost position (when the driver takes a resting position) or when the seat 30 is in a relaxed state (when the driver takes a comfortable position), such as in the automatic driving mode. The seat pillar 34 can be protruded from the center pillar garnish 20 toward the vehicle interior side (see FIG. 3), and in the manual operation mode, the seat back 34 disposed facing the center pillar garnish 20 in the vehicle width direction. The vehicle width direction outer side end portion 34B is configured so as not to protrude into the vehicle interior side (see FIG. 2).

  As shown in FIG. 2, in order to easily pull out the other end portion 46 side of the auxiliary armrest 40 from the inside of the recess 50, the other end portion 46 side of the auxiliary armrest 40 and the portion that becomes the lower surface during use are A concave handle 48 for inserting a finger is formed. In addition, the auxiliary armrest 40 is disposed at substantially the same height as the armrest 64 formed on the door trim 62 of the front door 60 in use, or as shown in FIG. It is arranged at the height position on the side.

  Furthermore, in the case of the autonomous driving vehicle 12 according to the present embodiment, since the auxiliary armrest 40 is provided on the center pillar garnish 20, a seat belt (not shown) cannot be provided on the center pillar garnish 20. Therefore, the seat belt of the seat 30 in the autonomous driving vehicle 12 is directly provided on the seat cushion 32 and the seat back 34.

  Next, the operation of the vehicle interior structure 10 configured as described above will be described.

  When the automatic driving vehicle 12 is in the manual operation mode, as shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle width direction outer side end portion 34B of the seat back 34 of the seat 30 is generally disposed at a position facing the center pillar garnish 20 in the vehicle width direction. The Therefore, the auxiliary armrest 40 is not used. That is, the auxiliary armrest 40 is maintained in a state in which it is stored and held in the recess 50 (a storage state in which the auxiliary armrest 40 does not protrude toward the vehicle interior side).

  Accordingly, there is no possibility that the tilting of the seat back 34 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and the movement of the seat 30 (seat cushion 32) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body are hindered by the auxiliary armrest 40 (the auxiliary armrest 40 gets in the way). In this case, the driver (occupant) can place an elbow or the like on the armrest 64 formed on the door trim 62 of the front door 60.

  On the other hand, when the autonomous driving vehicle 12 is in the automatic driving mode, the driver does not need to operate the steering wheel or the like, so the seat 30 is disposed at the rearmost position or is in a relaxed state as shown in FIG. Sometimes. In this case, the auxiliary armrest 40 is used. That is, fingers are inserted into the handle portion 48 of the auxiliary armrest 40, and the other end 46 of the auxiliary armrest 40 is pulled out to the vehicle interior side.

  As a result, the auxiliary armrest 40 protrudes toward the vehicle interior side (inward in the vehicle width direction) and is disposed at substantially the same height position as the armrest 64 or at a height position lower than the vehicle body. Even if it is arranged at the rearmost position or is in a relaxed state, the elbow or the like of the driver (occupant) can be placed on the auxiliary armrest 40. That is, in the automatic driving mode, the driver (occupant) can take a resting posture and a comfortable posture using the auxiliary armrest 40, and can improve comfort in the vehicle interior.

  As described above, the auxiliary armrest 40 according to the present embodiment is configured to be displaceable from a storage state where the auxiliary armrest 40 does not protrude from the center pillar garnish 20 toward the vehicle interior side to a use state where the auxiliary armrest 40 protrudes from the center pillar garnish 20 toward the vehicle interior side. Therefore, the appearance of the passenger compartment is not impaired when the auxiliary armrest 40 is not used.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the case of the autonomous driving vehicle 13 without the center pillar 18, the armrest 64 formed on the door trim 62 of the front door 60 and the door trim 72 of the rear door 70 are connected to the front door. You may comprise so that 60 armrests 64 and the armrest 74 currently formed in the same height position may be made continuous.

  That is, when the armrest 64 on the front door 60 side is extended to the rear side of the vehicle body, the armrest 74 on the rear door 70 side is extended to the front side of the vehicle body, and the front door 60 and the rear door 70 are closed, the rear side of the armrest 64 You may comprise so that a side edge part and the vehicle body front side edge part of the armrest 74 may adjoin or contact.

  With this configuration, when the seat 30 is placed at the rearmost position or in a relaxed state, such as in the automatic driving mode, the driver's (occupant) elbow or the like is placed on the armrest 74 on the rear door 70 side. Therefore, the driver (occupant) can take a resting posture and an easy posture using the armrest 74 on the rear door 70 side.

  As mentioned above, although the vehicle interior structure 10 which concerns on this embodiment was demonstrated based on drawing, the vehicle interior structure 10 which concerns on this embodiment is not limited to the thing of illustration, and does not deviate from the summary of this invention. The design can be changed as appropriate within the range. For example, the auxiliary armrest 40 is not limited to the configuration provided in the autonomous driving vehicle 12, and may be provided in a passenger seat of a vehicle that is not the autonomous driving vehicle 12.

  Further, the configuration for rotating the auxiliary armrest 40 in the vertical direction of the vehicle body is not limited to the illustrated one. For example, a torsion spring (not shown) or the like is provided on the support shaft 58 so The use state may be configured to be held by the biasing force of the torsion spring. In addition, a grip member (not shown) or the like is provided on the lower surface of the auxiliary armrest 40 on the other end 46 side so that the other arm 46 side of the auxiliary armrest 40 can be easily pulled out instead of the handle portion 48.
