Description

The present invention relates to a vehicle table, and more particularly to a vehicle table provided so as to project from an interior member along a side glass of the vehicle.

Conventionally, a vehicle table having a mounting surface on which an article can be placed is already known in order to improve the convenience of a occupant (seat) seated on the seat. When the vehicle table is provided in this way, the seated person can place the article on the mounting surface of the vehicle table, so that the vehicle table can be used as a table function. Here, Patent Document 1 below discloses a vehicle table 110 that is provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the armrest surface 105k of the armrest 105j provided on the door trim 105g of an automobile (see FIG. 19). By this turning, the vehicle table 110 can be switched between an expanded state (a state in which it can be used as a table function) and a stored state stored (returned) in the armrest surface 105k of the armrest 105j from this expanded state. Therefore, by switching the vehicle table 110 to the stored state, it is possible to prevent the vehicle table 110 from becoming an obstacle even when the seated person is not using the vehicle table 110 as a table function.

JP-A-2017-71338

However, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described above, the mounting surface 125 of the vehicle table 110 has a compact size due to space restrictions in the stored state of the vehicle table 110. Therefore, when the unfolded state of the vehicle table 110 is in a state of being turned 90 ° from the retracted state, if the seated person is facing outward (when the seat is turned outward), the seated person On the other hand, the vehicle table was supposed to face diagonally. That is, the left and right depth lengths in the usable area of the mounting surface 125 of the vehicle table 110 itself and that for the occupant facing outward (the left and right depth lengths in the usable area of the mounting surface 125 of the vehicle table 110). In comparison with, the latter was shorter. Therefore, when the seated person faces outward, the usable area of the mounting surface 125 of the vehicle table 110 for the seated person facing outward becomes narrow, and as a result, the usability of the table function deteriorates.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a vehicle table in which the usability of the table function does not deteriorate depending on the orientation of the seated person. is there.

According to one feature of the present disclosure, the vehicle table, which is provided so as to project from the interior member along the side glass of the vehicle, has a substantially rectangular table body having a mounting surface on which articles can be placed. I have. Of the four sides of the substantially rectangular shape of the table body, two sides facing the seated person of the vehicle have a shape in which one has a convex portion and the other has a concave portion.

Therefore, the convex portion of the table body can secure the space on the right side in the usable area of the mounting surface of the table body for the seated person of the vehicle seat facing outward. Similarly to this, the space on the left front side of the table body mounting surface for the seater of the seat facing outward can be secured by the recess of the table body. That is, when comparing the left and right depth lengths in the usable area of the table body mounting surface itself with those for the seated person facing outward (the left and right depth lengths in the usable area of the table body mounting surface), the latter Is never shorter (the former and the latter are almost the same). Therefore, even if the seated person faces outward, the usable area of the mounting surface of the vehicle table for the seated person facing outward is not narrowed. As a result, the usability of the table function does not deteriorate depending on the orientation of the seated person.

According to other features of the present disclosure, the table body may be in an unfolded state in which the mounting surface is substantially horizontal, or in a retracted state in which the table body is raised or pushed down around an axis around the front-rear direction of the vehicle from the unfolded state. It is switchable.

Therefore, even when the seated person is not using the table body as a table function, it is possible to prevent the table body from getting in the way.

Further, according to another feature of the present disclosure, the table body can be swiveled around an axis whose axial direction is the vertical direction with respect to the interior member.

Therefore, the table body can be swiveled toward the front side or the rear side from the unfolded state of the table body. Therefore, the table body can be used as a table function while securing a space on the front side of the seated person.

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 18. In the following description, "automobile 1", "passenger seat door 5 door glass 5f", and "passenger seat door 5 door trim 5g" will be described as examples of "vehicle", "side glass", and "interior member". .. Further, in the following description, the terms "up, down, front, rear, left, and right" refer to the directions of up, down, front, rear, left, and right, that is, the traveling direction of the automobile 1, as described in the above-mentioned figure. It shows the up, down, front, back, left, and right directions when facing forward.

First, the automobile 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described (see FIGS. 1 and 2). This automobile 1 is of a type that can freely switch between manual driving and automatic driving. The floor floor 1b of the passenger compartment 1a of the automobile 1 is provided with a shell-type driver's seat 2 and a shell-type passenger seat 3. The driver's seat 2 is provided with a pair of left and right shades 2a capable of covering both the left and right sides of the head 41 of the occupant 40 (referred to as the seated person 40) seated in the driver's seat 2. As a result, the line of sight of the driver's seat 2 from the left and right of the seated person 40 can be blocked. Therefore, the personality of the seated person 40 can be enhanced (a personal space can be secured).

On the other hand, the passenger seat 3 is also provided with a pair of left and right shades 3a capable of covering both the left and right sides of the head 51 of the occupant 50 (denoted as the seated person 50) seated in the passenger seat 3. As a result, the line of sight from the left and right of the passenger seat 3 with respect to the seated person 50 can be blocked. Therefore, the personality of the seated person 50 can be enhanced (a personal space can be secured).

Further, the driver's seat 2 is configured to be slidable in the front-rear direction with respect to the floor floor 1b via a known slide mechanism (not shown). As a result, the driver's seat 2 can be arranged at a desired front-rear position. Further, the driver's seat 2 is configured to be rotatable around an axis whose axial direction is the vertical direction with respect to the floor floor 1b via a known turning mechanism (not shown). As a result, the driver's seat 2 can be arranged in a desired direction. That is, the seat front-rear position and the seat orientation of the driver's seat 2 can be freely arranged.

On the other hand, the passenger seat 3 is also configured to be slidable in the front-rear direction with respect to the floor floor 1b via a known slide mechanism (not shown) like the driver's seat 2. As a result, the passenger seat 3 can be arranged at a desired front-rear position. Further, like the driver's seat 2, the passenger seat 3 is also configured to be able to swivel around the floor with respect to the floor floor 1b via a known swivel mechanism (not shown). As a result, the passenger seat 3 can be arranged in a desired direction. That is, the seat front-rear position and seat orientation of the passenger seat 3 can be freely arranged.

Further, on the right side of the driver's seat 2, a driver's seat door 4 that can be opened and closed for the seated person 40 of the driver's seat 2 to get on and off is provided. On the other hand, on the left side of the passenger seat 3, a passenger seat door 5 that can be opened and closed for the seated person 50 of the passenger seat 3 to get on and off is provided. The passenger seat door 5 is composed of a door body 5a and a frame body 5b provided on the upper part of the door body 5a. The frame body 5b is composed of a front frame 5c that is inclined downward toward the front side, a rear frame 5d, and an upper frame 5e that connects the front frame 5c and the rear frame 5d.

Further, the passenger seat door 5 is provided with a door glass 5f so as to close the space formed by the door body 5a and the frame body 5b. Further, a surface (inner surface) of the door body 5a on the vehicle interior 1a side is provided with a rigid synthetic resin door trim 5g formed in a substantially inverted L-shaped cross section. A slide groove 5i along the front-rear direction is formed on the upper surface of the door trim 5g. The door body 5a of the passenger seat door 5 is provided with a vehicle table 10.

Here, the vehicle table 10 will be described in detail (see FIGS. 2 to 5). The vehicle table 10 is composed of a table body 20 and a table support 30. Hereinafter, the table body 20 and the table support 30 will be described individually.

First, the table main body 20 will be described. The table body 20 forms four sides (the first side 21 forming the front side when the first mounting surface 25 described later is an upward surface, the second side 22 forming the rear side, and the left side). It is composed of a substantially rectangular transparent thin plate-shaped member composed of a third side 23 and a fourth side 24) forming the right side.

As is clear from FIGS. 3 to 4, the two sides of the first side 21 and the second side 22 are two sides facing the seated person 40. The first side 21 of these two sides has a shape having a convex portion 21a. Specifically, the fourth side 24 side of the first side 21 has a shape having a convex portion 21a protruding toward the front side. On the other hand, the second side 22 of the two sides has a shape having a recess 22a. Specifically, the fourth side 24 of the second side 22 has a shape having a recess 22a that is recessed toward the front side.

Further, one surface (surface) of the table body 20 is a first mounting surface 25 on which an article (not shown) can be mounted. On the other hand, the other side surface (back surface) of the table body 20 is also a second mounting surface 26 on which articles can be mounted, similarly to the first mounting surface 25. Therefore, the table body 20 has a table function on which an article can be placed on both the front surface and the back surface.

In the state shown in FIGS. 2 to 3, the table body 20 is in an unfolded state in which the first mounting surface 25 is substantially horizontal. In this expanded state, the table body 20 can be used as a table function. Further, the table body 20 has a display function. That is, the table body 20 itself also serves as a display (monitor). Therefore, when this display function is operated, desired information (various character information, various video information, etc.) can be displayed on either the first mounting surface 25 or the second mounting surface 26 of the table body 20.

Further, the table body 20 has a dimming function. Therefore, when this dimming function is operated, the table body 20 can be switched to a non-transparent state (cloudy state). On the other hand, when this dimming function is deactivated (when the operation of the dimming function is canceled), the table body 20 can be switched to the transparent state. The table body 20 is configured in this way.

Next, the table support 30 will be described (see FIG. 4). The table support 30 is for assembling the table body 20 to the door body 5a of the passenger seat door 5, and mainly includes a slide mechanism (not shown) that allows the table body 20 to slide toward the front side or the rear side, and a base. It is composed of 31, an arm 32, a first holding member 34, and a second holding member 35.

This slide mechanism is known, for example, a screw shaft (not shown) whose both ends are pivoted to the door body 5a along the front-rear direction, and a nut (not shown) screwed to the screw shaft. , It is composed of a slider (not shown) assembled so as to wrap the nut, and a servomotor (not shown) that can rotate the screw shaft. Therefore, when the servomotor is rotated (forward or reverse), the slider can be slid back and forth along the screw axis.

Further, the base 31 is assembled to the slider of the slide mechanism so that the slide groove 5i of the door trim 5 g of the passenger seat door 5 can be slidable. Further, the base end 32a of the arm 32 is assembled to the base 31 so that the front side and the rear side are sandwiched by the tip ends 33b of the pair of pivot cover 33 to which the base end 33a is attached to the base 31. At this time, a rotation shaft 33c is formed on the inner surface of the tips 33b of the pair of pivot covers 33.

The rotation shaft 33c is rotatable with respect to a rotation hole (not shown) formed at the base end 32a of the arm 32. Therefore, the arm 32 can be rotated upward or downward around the axis with the front-rear direction as the axial direction via the pair of pivot cover 33 with respect to the base 31. That is, the table support 30 includes a rotation mechanism capable of rotating the table body 20 upward or downward.

Further, a substantially U-shaped first holding member 34 is assembled to the tip end 32b of the arm 32 via a tilt shaft 36. Therefore, the first holding member 34 can be rotated around the arm 32 with the left-right direction as the axial direction. That is, the table support 30 is provided with a tilt mechanism that can be tilted (tilted) so that the first mounting surface 25 of the table body 20 faces the seated person 50. The table body 20 can be inverted (rotated by 180 °) by this tilt mechanism.

Further, the first holding member 34 is assembled so that a substantially U-shaped second holding member 35 is sandwiched via the swivel shaft 37. Therefore, the second sandwiching member 35 can be rotated around the axis whose axial direction is the vertical direction (vertical direction) with respect to the first sandwiching member 34. That is, the table support 30 includes a turning mechanism capable of turning the table body 20 toward the front side or the rear side.

The third side 23 of the table body 20 described above is sandwiched between the second holding members 35. Therefore, the table body 20 can be slid toward the front side or the rear side with respect to the passenger seat door 5 via the slide mechanism. Further, the table body 20 can be rotated upward or downward with respect to the passenger seat door 5 via a rotation mechanism. Further, the table body 20 can be tilted with respect to the passenger seat door 5 via the tilt mechanism.

Further, the table body 20 can be swiveled toward the front side or the rear side with respect to the passenger seat door 5 via the swivel mechanism. These slide mechanism, rotation mechanism, tilt mechanism, and swivel mechanism have independent structures. Therefore, the sliding, rotation, tilting, and turning of the table body 20 can be performed in any combination. The table support 30 is configured in this way.

The vehicle table 10 is composed of the table body 20 and the table support 30. Since it is configured in this way, as is clear from FIG. 2, the vehicle table 10 is shaped to project from the door trim 5 g of the passenger seat door 5.

Subsequently, the operation of the vehicle table 10 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 6 to 18. In this explanation, the table body 20 will be described from the expanded state (see FIG. 2). In this expanded state, the table body 20 can be used as a table function. From the unfolded state of the table body 20, the table body 20 can be raised approximately 90 ° around the axis of the rotation shaft 33c (the table body 20 can also be rotated upward). That is, it is possible to switch to the stored state in which the table body 20 is stored (see FIG. 6). If the table body 20 can be switched to the retracted state in this way, it is possible to prevent the table body 20 from getting in the way even when the seater 50 of the passenger seat 3 is not using the table body 20 as a table function. ..

In the retracted state of the table body 20, as is clear from FIG. 6, the glass surface 5h of the door glass 5f of the passenger seat door 5 and the first mounting surface 25 of the table body 20 face each other. Therefore, when the dimming function of the table body 20 is deactivated, the table body 20 can be stored without obstructing the view of the seated person 50 to the outside of the vehicle. Further, in the retracted state of the table body 20, the display function can be operated on the seated person 50 of the passenger seat 3. In that case, desired information can be displayed on the second mounting surface 26 of the table body 20.

Further, when the dimming function is operated in the stored state of the table body 20, the table body 20 can be switched to the non-transparent state. Therefore, the table body 20 in this stored state functions as a shade. Therefore, the line of sight from the left side of the passenger seat 3 with respect to the seated person 50 can be blocked. As a result, the table body 20 can be stored while enhancing the personality of the seated person 50. When the table body 20 is pushed down by 90 ° around the axis of the rotation shaft 33c from the stored state of the table body 20, the table body 20 can be returned to the expanded state (see FIG. 2).

Further, the table body 20 can be slid toward the front side from the unfolded state of the table body 20. That is, the table body 20 can be switched to the front slide state in which the table body 20 is slid forward (see FIG. 7). When the table body 20 can be switched to the front sliding state in this way, as is clear from FIG. 7, the table body 20 is used as a table function while securing a space on the front side of the seater 50 of the passenger seat 3. it can. Further, the front-rear position of the table body 20 can also be followed (sliding) according to the arrangement of the front-rear position of the passenger seat 3.

Further, the first mounting surface 25 of the table body 20 can be tilted so as to face the seated person 50 from the front sliding state of the table body 20. That is, the table body 20 can be switched to the tilted (tilted) tilt state (see FIG. 8). When the table body 20 can be switched to the tilted state in this way, as is clear from FIG. 8, the first mounting surface 25 of the table body 20 can be easily seen by the seated person 50 of the passenger seat 3. Therefore, when the tilted table body 20 is used as a display function, the information displayed on the first mounting surface 25 can be easily seen by the seated person 50 in the passenger seat 3.

Further, the table body 20 can be raised by approximately 90 ° around the rotation shaft 33c from the front sliding state of the table body 20 (the table body 20 can be rotated upward). That is, the table body 20 can be switched to the front slide storage state stored on the front side (see FIGS. 9 to 10). The display function can also be operated in the previous slide stored state. In that case, desired information can be displayed on the second mounting surface 26 of the table body 20. As this desired information, an image on the left rear side of the automobile 1 taken by a camera (not shown) may be used. In that case, the second mounting surface 26 of the table body 20 can be used as the left side mirror of the automobile 1 for the seated person 40 of the driver's seat 2.

At this time, as is clear from FIG. 10, in the left side view of the automobile 1, the inclined portion 21b forming the convex portion 21a of the first side 21 of the raised table body 20 and the front frame of the passenger seat door 5 The inner line 5c1 of 5c is in line contact with the inner line 5c1. Therefore, even if the front frame 5c of the passenger seat door 5 is inclined downward toward the front side, a large amount of sliding toward the front side of the table body 20 can be secured. That is, the table body 20 can be slid toward the front side as much as possible.

Further, the table body 20 can be slid toward the rear side from the stored state of the table body 20. That is, the table body 20 can be slid to the rear side and then switched to the slide storage state (see FIGS. 11 to 12). When the table body 20 can be switched to the rear slide retracted state in this way, the table body 20 is adjacent to the head 51 of the seated person 50, as is clear from FIGS. 11 to 12. Therefore, when the dimming function of the table body 20 is operated, the table body 20 in the slide stored state subsequently functions as a shade. Therefore, the line of sight from the left side of the passenger seat 3 with respect to the seated person 50 can be further blocked. As a result, the table body 20 can be stored while further enhancing the personality of the seated person 50.

At this time, as is clear from FIG. 12, in the left side view of the automobile 1, the shade on the left side of the passenger seat 3 is formed in the recess 22a of the second side 22 of the table body 20 adjacent to the head 51 of the seated person 50. It is in a state where 3a has entered. Therefore, the gap generated between the table body 20 and the shade 3a can be suppressed. Therefore, the line of sight from the left side of the passenger seat 3 with respect to the seated person 50 can be further blocked. As a result, the table body 20 can be stored while further enhancing the personality of the seated person 50.

Further, the table body 20 can be swiveled toward the front side from the unfolded state of the table body 20. That is, the table body 20 can be switched to the front turning state in which the table body 20 is turned toward the front side (see FIGS. 13 to 14). When the table body 20 can be switched to the forward turning state in this way, as is clear from FIGS. 13 to 14, the table body 20 faces diagonally with respect to the seated person 50 (the fourth side of the table body 20). 24 is projected toward the front side, and the third side 23 of the table body 20 is projected toward the rear side). When the table body 20 is obliquely oriented with respect to the seated person 50 in this way, the table body 20 can be used as a table function while securing a space on the front side of the seated person 50 in the passenger seat 3.

The rotation of the table body 20 is performed by the rotation shaft 37 as described above. Therefore, the table body 20 can be moved forward by the swivel shaft 37 from the front slide stored state of the table body 20. That is, the table body 20 can be switched to the forward tilted storage state in the forward tilted posture (see FIG. 15). If the table body 20 can be switched to the forward tilted storage state in this way, the table body 20 can be arranged further forward, as is clear from FIG. Therefore, when the second mounting surface 26 of the table body 20 is used as the left side mirror of the automobile 1, the movement of the line of sight from the front of the seated person 40 of the driver's seat 2 can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to easily see the image on the left rear side of the automobile 1 taken by the camera.

On the contrary, the table body 20 can be tilted backward by the swivel shaft 37 from the rear slide retracted state of the table body 20. That is, the table body 20 can be switched to the backward tilted storage state in the backward tilted posture (see FIG. 16). When the table body 20 can be switched to the backward tilted storage state in this way, as is clear from FIG. 16, in the side view on the left side of the automobile 1, the table body 20 adjacent to the head 51 of the seated person 50 The gap formed between the passenger seat 3 and the shade 3a on the left side can be completely closed. Therefore, the line of sight from the left side of the passenger seat 3 with respect to the seated person 50 can be completely blocked. As a result, the table body 20 can be stored while further enhancing the personality of the seated person 50.

Further, the passenger seat 3 can be swiveled so that the seat direction faces outward while the table body 20 remains in the deployed state. That is, the passenger seat 3 can be arranged in an outward turning state so that the seated person 50 faces outward (see FIGS. 17 to 18). When the passenger seat 3 can be arranged in the outward turning state in this way, as is clear from FIGS. 17 to 18, the use of the first mounting surface 25 of the table body 20 for the seated person 50 of the passenger seat 3 facing outward. The right back space S1 in the possible area can be secured by the convex portion 21a of the first side 21 of the table body 20.

Similarly, the left front space S2 on the first mounting surface 25 of the table body 20 for the seated person 50 of the passenger seat 3 facing outward can be secured by the recess 22a on the second side 22 of the table body 20. Therefore, even if the seated person 50 faces outward, the usable area of the first mounting surface 25 of the vehicle table 10 for the seated person 50 facing outward is not narrowed. Therefore, the usability of the table function does not deteriorate.

Further, since the recess 22a is formed on the second side 22 of the table body 20, the passenger seat 3 is swiveled so that the seat direction faces the outer front while the table body 20 remains in the unfolded state as described above. Also, the interference of the abdomen of the seated person 50 in the passenger seat 3 with respect to the second side 22 of the table body 20 can be suppressed.

From the state in which the passenger seat 3 is shown in FIG. 1, the seat front-rear position of the passenger seat 3 is slid forward, and the slid passenger seat 3 is turned 180 ° (the passenger so that the seat direction faces the rear side). (When the seat 3 is arranged in a turning state). Even in this case, if the table body 20 is inverted (tilted) by 180 ° and the passenger seat 3 is arranged in an outward turning state toward the outside rearward in the same manner as described above, the seating person 50 of the passenger seat 3 can use it. It is possible to sufficiently secure the left and right depth lengths in the usable area of the second mounting surface 26 of the table body 20.

The vehicle table 10 of the passenger seat door 5 according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above. According to this configuration, the four sides of the substantially rectangular table body 20 (the first side 21 forming the front side and the second side 22 forming the rear side when the first mounting surface 25 is an upward surface). , The third side 23 forming the left side and the fourth side 24) forming the right side, two sides of the first side 21 and the second side 22 face the seated person 50 of the passenger seat 3. It has become. The first side 21 of these two sides has a shape having a convex portion 21a. Specifically, the fourth side 24 side of the first side 21 has a shape having a convex portion 21a protruding toward the front side. On the other hand, the second side 22 of the two sides has a shape having a recess 22a. Specifically, the fourth side 24 of the second side 22 has a shape having a recess 22a that is recessed toward the front side. Therefore, the right back space S1 in the usable area of the first mounting surface 25 of the table body 20 for the seated person 50 of the passenger seat 3 facing outward can be secured by the convex portion 21a of the first side 21 of the table body 20. Similarly, the left front space S2 on the first mounting surface 25 of the table body 20 for the seated person 50 of the passenger seat 3 facing outward can be secured by the recess 22a on the second side 22 of the table body 20. That is, the left and right depth lengths in the usable area of the first mounting surface 25 of the table body 20 itself and that for the seated person facing outward (the left and right depths in the usable area of the first mounting surface 25 of the table body 20). Compared with (long), the latter is not shorter (the former and the latter are almost the same). Therefore, even if the seated person 50 faces outward, the usable area of the first mounting surface 25 of the vehicle table 10 for the seated person 50 facing outward is not narrowed. As a result, the usability of the table function does not deteriorate depending on the orientation of the seated person 50.
