  By the way, in the above-mentioned console apparatus for vehicles, although there is a statement to the effect that an armrest (slide member) has a slide lock mechanism, there is no statement about operation of a slide lock mechanism, etc. In the above-described vehicle console device, for example, when a small passenger sitting in the front seat tries to operate the armrest, it is difficult for the hand to reach the armrest in a state where the armrest slides backward. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to move the armrest forward if a combined operation is required to slide the armrest forward while operating the unlocking operation element when returning the armrest slid backward to the front.

  Therefore, the present invention has an object of facilitating forward movement of a slide member even in a state in which the slide member is moved rearward, in a vehicle console device having a slide member movable back and forth.

As a means for solving the above problems, the invention described in claim 1 is a console main body (for example, an embodiment provided between left and right seats (for example, driver's seat 3 and front passenger seat 4 in the embodiment) A console main body 11), a slide member (for example, the armrest 15 of the embodiment) slidably supported by the console main body in the vehicle longitudinal direction, and a rear movement position of the slide member (for example, a movement rear end position of the embodiment Locking means (for example, the locking mechanism 45 of the embodiment) for locking the sliding of the sliding member forward when it is in P2), and locking of the sliding member by the locking means at the backward movement position Release means (e.g., the lock release mechanism 46 of the embodiment) that releases in response, and the slide member Biasing means for biasing the slide member forward when in the movable position and for causing the slide member to slide forward when the lock of the slide member in the backward movement position is released (for example, And a biasing mechanism 47).
In the invention described in claim 2, the lock release means has a lock release button (for example, the lock release button 35 of the embodiment) which releases the lock at the rear movement position of the slide member by being pushed backward. It is characterized by
In the invention described in claim 3, the biasing means is configured to move rearward from the second rearward moving position (e.g., hopout position P3 of the embodiment) where the slide member is forward of the rearward moving position to the rearward moving position. By moving, the biasing force for sliding the slide member forward is characterized.

According to the invention described in claim 1, even if the slide of the slide member supported by the console body is locked when the slide member is in the backward movement position, the slide member is locked by the biasing force of the biasing means at the time of unlocking. Can be moved forward. Therefore, for example, even when a small passenger operates the slide member in the backward movement position with the seat position in front, the operation with an unnatural posture or the operation of the unlocking operation member and the slide member are performed together Complex operations can be eliminated. And since the slide member can be operated in a state where the slide lock is released and the slide member is moved forward by the biasing force of the biasing means, the operability and usability of the vehicle console device can be improved.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the occupant unlocks the slide member in the rearward movement position, the lock release button can be pushed backward by extension of the operation of extending the hand backward. . Thereby, the lock at the backward movement position of the slide member can be released, and the slide member can be moved forward by the biasing force of the biasing means. Therefore, the operability and usability of the vehicle console device can be further improved.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, while the slide member is slid to the second rearward movement position, the slide member can be slid rearward without receiving the biasing force of the biasing means. In addition, when the lock at the backward movement position of the slide member is released, the slide member can be appropriately moved forward and stopped at the front and rear intermediate position (the second backward movement position).

The left and right arm rests 15a and 15b can slide back and forth separately from each other. The left and right arm rests 15a and 15b have hinge shafts (rotational shafts) 16a and 16b along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle on the outer side in the vehicle width direction (the lateral direction of the vehicle). The left and right arm rests 15a and 15b can also open and close the article storage portion 12 and the left and right cup holders 13a and 13b by pivoting about the hinge shafts 16a and 16b, respectively. In the above description, the symbols of the symmetrical configuration have been distinguished by adding "a" and "b", but in the following description, the "a" and "b" will be omitted unless it is particularly necessary.

As shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, the armrest 15 is slidably supported by the pivot base 21 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. And a slide assembly 31. The pad 31 a of the armrest 15 is mounted on the upper surface side of the slide assembly 31.
The rotation base 21 is supported immovably with respect to the console main body 11 in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The slide assembly 31 is slidably supported in the vehicle longitudinal direction with respect to the pivot base 21 and thus the console main body 11.

  The rotation base 21 has a plate shape, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in which the long side direction is along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in a plan view. On the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the rotation base 21, a pivot support portion 22 by a hinge shaft 16 is provided in a protruding manner. Inside the widthwise direction of the pivot base 21, front and rear legs 22 and 23 that contact the upper portion of the console main body 11 are provided. A pair of front and rear slide position ribs 25 and 26 and a pop outer 41 contacting portion 27 project from the upper surface of the rotation base 21.

  The slide assembly 31 has a plate-like slide base 32 which is longer in the front and rear direction than the rotation base 21. The slide base 32 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in which the long side direction is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in plan view. The slide base 32 is disposed so as to overlap the pivot base 21 from above.

  Referring to FIG. 10, the armrest 15 locks the forward slide of the armrest 15 when the armrest 15 (slide assembly 31) is at the movement rear end position P2, and the armrest 15 by the lock mechanism 45. The lock release mechanism 46 for releasing the lock at the movement rear end position P2 according to the lock release operation, and the arm rest 15 is biased forward when the arm rest 15 is at the movement rear end position P2, and the movement rear end of the arm rest 15 And a biasing mechanism 47 for sliding the armrest 15 forward when the lock at the position P2 is released.

The lock mechanism 45 has a slide stopper 33 provided swingably around a swing shaft 33a along the vehicle longitudinal direction on the slide base 32, and front and rear slide position ribs 25 and 26 provided projecting on the pivot base 21. And have.
Referring to FIG. 12A and FIG. 13A together, the slide stopper 33 has a locking claw 33 b that protrudes below the slide base 32. The slide stopper 33 is biased to project the locking claw 33b downward of the slide base 32, and the locking claw 33b can be retracted upward against the biasing force.

  The front slide position rib 25 engages with the locking claw 33b projecting downward of the slide base 32 from the front when the armrest 15 is at the moving front end position P1 (see FIG. 12A). Lock the slide to the rear of the. The front slide position rib 25 is a front restricting side 25a that brings the locking claw 33b of the slide stopper 33 into contact from the front, and after the locking claw 33b is run on the armrest 15 in the process of moving the armrest 15 toward the moving front end position P1. And an inclined side 25b.

  The rear slide position rib 26 engages with the locking claw 33b which protrudes downward from the slide base 32 from the rear (see FIG. 13A) when the armrest 15 is at the movement rear end position P2 (see FIG. 13A). Lock the 15 forward slides. The rear slide position rib 26 causes the rear restricting portion 26a that abuts the locking claw 33b of the slide stopper 33 from behind and the locking claw 33b in the process of moving the arm rest 15 toward the moving rear end position P2. And a front inclined side portion 26b.

  Referring to FIG. 10, the lock release mechanism 46 includes a lock slider 34 provided slidably on the slide base 32 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a lock release button 35 provided continuously with the front end of the lock slider 34. There is. The lock release mechanism 46 is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle integrally with the slide base 32. The lock slider 34 is biased forward with respect to the slide base 32, and can slide rearward relative to the slide base 32 by a specified amount against the biasing force.

  The rear end portion of the lock slider 34 is engaged with the slide stopper 33 via a cam mechanism 34 a. The lock slider 34 swings the slide stopper 33 against the biasing force as it moves backward with respect to the slide base 32. At this time, the locking claw 33 b of the slide stopper 33 is pushed upward from the engagement position with the front and rear slide position ribs 25 and 26 and retreats. As a result, the engagement of the locking claws 33b with the front and rear slide position ribs 25 and 26 is released, and the front and rear slide locks of the armrest 15 by the lock mechanism 45 are released.

Referring also to FIG. 5, the lock release button 35 is an operating element that causes the lock slider 34 to move backward by depression to the rear, and releases the front / rear slide lock of the armrest 15 by the lock mechanism 45.
Here, on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the front end portion of the armrest 15, an operation recess 36 for the occupant to open and close the armrest 15 is provided. The operation recess 36 is formed by the garnish 37. The garnish 37 is attached to the slide base 32 avoiding the pad 31 a of the armrest 15. The garnish 37 has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and causes the lock release button 35 to project into the operation recess 36 from the side portion thereof.

Referring also to FIG. 6, at the outer side of the garnish 37, an open handle 38 for opening the armrest 15 about the hinge shaft 16 is provided. The armrest 15 is locked in rotation around the hinge shaft 16 in a state in which the upper opening of the article storage unit 12 is closed. The open handle 38 is pivoted so as to be pulled upward with a finger or the like, thereby releasing the locking of pivoting of the armrest 15 around the hinge shaft 16. After the unlocking operation, the open handle 38 functions as a handle for opening the armrest 15 about the hinge shaft 16 as it is.
Referring also to FIG. 7, the front side 39 of the garnish 37 functions as a handle for sliding the armrest 15 forward.

Referring to FIG. 10, the biasing mechanism 47 includes a pop outer 41 slidably provided in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle on the slide base 32, a biasing spring 42 disposed, for example, inside the pop outer 41, and a pivot base And 21. A pop outer 41 and a portion 27 protruding from the top 21 are provided.
The pop outer 41 is biased rearward by a biasing spring 42, and can slide forward by a specified amount against the biasing force.

  With reference also to FIG. 12 (b) and FIG. 13 (b), the biasing spring 42 is, for example, a compression coil spring in which the axial direction (stretching direction) is made along the vehicle longitudinal direction. The biasing spring 42 is compressed between a spring rear end receiving portion 41 a provided on the pop outer 41 and a spring front end receiving portion 32 a protruding on the slide base 32. Below the front end portion of the pop outer 41, an outer locking claw 41b protruding downward of the slide base 32 is provided.

When the armrest 15 is at the moving front end position P1, the outer locking claw 41b is separated forward with respect to the pop outer 41 contacting portion 27 of the rotation base 21 (see FIG. 12B).
When the arm rest 15 moves to the hop out position (second rearward movement position) P3 slightly behind the center of the slide range, the outer locking claw 41 b causes the pop outer 41 contacting portion 27 of the rotation base 21 to move from the front Contact and engage. From this state, when the armrest 15 further moves to the movement rear end position P2, the pop outer 41 moves relative to the slide base 32 forward, and the movement from the hopout position P3 of the armrest 15 to the movement rear end position P2 Only the biasing spring 42 is compressed (see FIG. 13B). That is, a part of the force required for the backward movement of the armrest 15 is forced by the biasing spring 42.

  When the arm rest 15 reaches the moving rear end position P 2, the locking claw 33 b of the slide stopper 33 which rides on the rear slide position rib 26 by the front inclined side 26 b of the rear slide position rib 26 regulates the rear slide position rib 26. It descend | falls to the engagement position with the edge part 26a (refer Fig.13 (a)). As a result, the locking claw 33b engages with the rear restriction side 26a of the rear slide position rib 26, and the forward movement of the slide base 32 (and hence the forward movement of the armrest 15) with respect to the rotation base 21 is restricted. At this time, the slide base 32 is biased forward by the biasing spring 42.

  In this state, when the lock release button 35 is pressed backward, the restriction on the forward movement of the slide base 32 by the locking claw 33b of the slide stopper 33 is released, and the biasing force of the biasing spring 42 is released. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, the slide base 32 jumps up (hops out) to the hop out position P3. At this time, the slide base 32 moves forward under the urging force to the hop out position P3. When the slide base 32 is in the hop out position P 3, the arm rest 15 is advanced to such an extent that the front end thereof overlaps the rear end of the cup holder 13. The slide base 32 can be advanced only with inertia before the hop out position P3. Therefore, the slide base 32 hopped out can be advanced beyond the hop out position P3 when the cup holder 13 is not used, and can be stopped only by contacting the container etc. when the cup holder 13 is used.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
When the occupant opens the armrest 15 by sliding backward with the armrest 15 at the moving front end position P1 as shown in FIG. 2, first, as shown in FIG. The rear end lock release button 35 is pushed backward. Thereby, the slide lock to the rear of the armrest 15 by the lock mechanism 45 is released. At this time, the occupant can depress the lock release button 35 rearward by extension of the action of extending the hand backward with respect to the armrest 15 at the movement rear end position P2, so the unlocking operation is easy.

  Thereafter, as an extension of the operation of pressing the lock release button 35, the cup holder 13 is exposed to the outside and usable by the occupant sliding the arm rest 15 so as to push it backward. At this time, in the process of moving the armrest 15 to the movement rear end position P2, the biasing mechanism 47 is forced to urge the armrest 15 forward. Since the armrest 15 can slide backward without receiving the reaction force of the biasing spring 42 until the hop out position P3, the opening operation of the armrest 15 is smooth. When the armrest 15 slides to the moving backward position, the locking mechanism 45 automatically regulates the forward movement of the armrest 15.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the occupant closes the armrest 15 by sliding it forward while the armrest 15 is at the movement rear end position P2, as shown in FIG. 5, as in the case of sliding the armrest 15 backwards. The lock release button 35 at the rear end in the operation recess 36 is pushed backward with the finger f of the occupant. Thereby, the slide lock to the front of the armrest 15 by the lock mechanism 45 is released.
When the slide lock to the front of the armrest 15 is released, the biasing force of the biasing mechanism 47 causes the armrest 15 to automatically hop forward. For this reason, the occupant can hold the hand on the front end portion of the armrest 15 moved forward to a certain extent from the movement rear end position P2 and pull it forward (see FIG. 6).

  When the occupant opens the armrest 15 by pivoting the hinge shaft 16 as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, as shown in FIG. Pull 38 upwards. Thereby, the lock of rotation of the armrest 15 centering on the hinge shaft 16 is released. Thereafter, as the occupant rotates the armrest 15 upward by extension of the operation of pulling up the open handle 38, the cup holder 13 and the article storage portion 12 are exposed to the outside and can be used.

  As described above, the vehicle console device (center console 10) in the above embodiment slides on the console body 11 provided between the driver's seat 3 and the front passenger seat 4 of the vehicle 1 and the console body 11 in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The armrest 15 which can be supported, the lock mechanism 45 which locks the forward slide of the armrest 15 when the armrest 15 is at the movement rear end position P2, and the movement rear end position P2 of the armrest 15 by the lock mechanism 45 The lock release mechanism 46 for releasing the lock in response to the lock release operation and the arm rest 15 are biased forward when the arm rest 15 is at the movement rear end position P2, and the lock at the movement rear end position P2 of the arm rest 15 is released And a biasing mechanism 47 for sliding the armrest 15 forward when being That.

  According to this configuration, even if the slide of the armrest 15 supported by the console main body 11 is locked when the armrest 15 is at the movement rear end position P2, the armrest 15 is locked by the biasing force of the biasing mechanism 47 at the time of unlocking. It can be moved forward. Therefore, for example, even when a small passenger operates the armrest 15 at the rear end position P2 with the seat position forward, the operation with an unnatural posture or the unlocking operation element and the armrest 15 are combined. It is possible to eliminate such complex operations as operating. Then, the slide lock is released, and the armrest 15 can be operated in a state in which the armrest 15 is moved forward by the biasing force of the biasing mechanism 47, so that the operability and usability of the vehicle console device can be improved.

In the console apparatus for a vehicle in the above embodiment, the lock release mechanism 46 has a lock release button 35 for releasing the lock at the movement rear end position P2 of the armrest 15 by being pushed rearward.
According to this configuration, when the occupant releases the lock of the armrest 15 at the movement rear end position P2, it becomes possible to press the lock release button 35 backward by extension of the operation of extending the hand backward. Thereby, the lock at the movement rear end position P2 of the armrest 15 can be released, and the armrest 15 can be moved forward by the biasing force of the biasing mechanism 47. Therefore, the operability and usability of the vehicle console device can be further improved.

In the console apparatus for a vehicle according to the above-described embodiment, the biasing mechanism 47 moves the armrest 15 backward by moving the armrest 15 from the hop out position P3 forward of the moving rear end position P2 to the moving rear end position P2. Force the biasing force to slide forward.
According to this configuration, while the armrest 15 is slid to the hop out position P3, the armrest 15 can be slid rearward without receiving the biasing force of the biasing mechanism 47. Further, when the lock at the movement rear end position P2 of the armrest 15 is released, the armrest 15 can be appropriately moved forward and stopped at the front / rear intermediate position (hop out position P3).

For example, the present invention is not limited to the center console between the left and right sheets of the front seat separate sheet, and may be applied to the console box between the left and right sheets of the rear seat separate sheet. . Also, the present invention may be applied to a console apparatus that does not have a cup holder and an article storage unit, or has different functional units. Also, the present invention may be applied to a console device provided with a slide member that is not an armrest. Further, the slide member is not limited to the laterally symmetrical divided body, but may be a left and right asymmetric divided body, three or more divided bodies, or even left and right one. Moreover, as long as the lock mechanism, the lock release mechanism and the biasing mechanism 47 have the same functions as the lock mechanism 45, the lock release mechanism 46, and the biasing mechanism 47, the detailed configuration thereof is not limited and electrical control is included. It may be one. Further, the lock means may be one that locks the slide to the front of the slide member at the backward movement position forward of the movement rear end position of the slide member (the lock is performed with the movement allowance to the rear left). Also, the biasing means may bias the slide member to a position beyond the center of the slide range or bias to the moving front end position.
