Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vehicle drawer device that can be used as a cup holder, a table, a card holder, a storage box, or the like in an automobile interior.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, various cup holders have been used to place containers such as cups and cans containing drinks when eating and drinking in an automobile room. Among them, a drawer-type cup holder that is pulled out and used during use is particularly preferable because it does not protrude into the vehicle interior when not in use, so that the vehicle interior space can be widely used and does not get in the way.
[0003]
For example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-10112, a cup holder in which a holder hole is simply provided in a plate-like tray is known. In this cup holder, the container can be held in the holder hole by setting the diameter of the holder hole between the maximum diameter and the minimum diameter of a truncated cone-shaped container such as a paper cup.
[0004]
In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-119134, the receiving member that supports the bottom of the container swings by its own weight to the lower part of the holder hole of the tray when pulled out from the opening provided on the wall surface of the center cluster or the like. There is disclosed a cup holder that descends and holds a container with a receiving member and a holder hole. In this cup holder, the tray is held in a case fixed in the opening, and is projected and retracted from the opening by the guide of a groove-shaped rail provided in the case and extending in the protruding and retracting direction, and the receiving member is swingably held in the tray. Has been. When the tray is pulled out from the opening, the receiving member descends by its own weight and is positioned below the holder hole. The holder hole holds the outer periphery of the container and the receiving member supports the bottom of the container to hold the container. Is possible. Further, at the time of storage, the receiving member rises to be in a substantially horizontal state and can be stored in the case together with the tray.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the conventional cup holder, both the tray and the case are formed from a resin such as ABS by injection molding or the like. Therefore, distortion during molding and dimensional variation are inevitable, and some deformation is observed during the heat resistance test. Accordingly, since some deformation is unavoidable during use, there is a problem in that the sliding resistance varies with the rails, rattling occurs when the tray is raised and retracted, noise is generated, and the operation feeling is poor. This rattling occurs in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction, and there is a risk that the beverage may spill out of the cup during use.
[0006]
In use, for example, two 500 ml beverage cans may be placed, and it is necessary to design them so that they can be stably held even when the load is applied. However, in the conventional cup holder, since the material of the tray and the case is resin, if the strength of the sliding portion between the rail and the tray is to be increased, the thickness has to be increased, and in a narrow arrangement space. There is a problem in that the degree of freedom in design is low because it needs to be stored. And the deformation | transformation by a heat test cannot be avoided, and it became impossible to hold | maintain a drink can etc. stably by deformation | transformation.
[0007]
Further, the cup holder provided in the center cluster or the like has a problem that when the tray is pulled out and used, other devices such as an ashtray below the tray cannot be used.
[0008]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and when used as a cup holder or the like while being used as a vehicular drawer device that prevents rattling after a heat resistance test and has a high degree of design freedom. It is also intended to be able to use the device below the tray.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The vehicle drawer device of the present invention that solves the above-described problems is characterized in that, in a drawer device that protrudes and retracts from an opening provided in an automobile interior, a first drawer body and a second drawer made of resin are disposed adjacent to each other in the left-right direction. The first drawer main body and the second drawer main body include a main body and a holding member provided in the opening. Each holding side has a plurality of shafts extending in the extending and retracting direction of the drawer body and inserted through the through holes of the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion, respectively.
As the first sliding part and the second sliding part slide with the shaft, the first drawer body and the second drawer body are projected and retracted from the opening by the guide of the shaft, and the first sliding part and the one facing each other. The second sliding portion has at least one common shaft inserted therethrough.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In conventional cup holders, for example, there are many configurations in which the left and right ends of the tray are respectively guided and protruded by groove-shaped rails that are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the case and extend in the protruding and protruding directions. However, in the configuration guided by the groove-shaped rail, since one surface of the rail is opened and the tray is engaged therewith, only a part of the tray is in sliding contact with the rail, and due to dimensional error and deformation Shaking is likely to occur.
[0011]
However, in the drawer device of the present invention, the first drawer body and the second drawer body are moved by sliding between the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion having the through holes and the plurality of shafts inserted through the through holes. It is comprised so that it may protrude from the holding member. Since it is sliding between the through hole and the shaft, the outer surface of the shaft can be configured to slidably contact with the inner peripheral surface of the through hole at almost the entire circumference in the circumferential direction and guided by a conventional grooved rail. It can prevent rattling compared to the case where it appears and disappears.
[0012]
In addition, the resin molded product shrinks and deforms after molding, and also deforms during the heat resistance test, but the diameter of the through hole is reduced even if the first sliding part and the second sliding part shrink. Deforms and deforms in a direction that reduces rattling when sliding with the shaft. Therefore, the occurrence of rattling due to deformation can be prevented.
[0013]
And since the response | compatibility to the load which acts on a 1st drawer body or a 2nd drawer body can respond by enlarging the magnitude | size (length) of a 1st sliding part or a 2nd sliding part, it is conventional. Compared with, design freedom is improved.
[0014]
The smaller the clearance between the inner surface of the through hole of the first sliding part and the second sliding part and the shaft, the more desirable. In the case of sliding between resin and metal, even if the clearance is about 1/100 mm, it appears with a small resistance. Can be made. It is desirable that the cross-section of the through hole is a perfect circle and the cross-section of the shaft is also a perfect circle. Thereby, the sliding resistance in the circumferential direction of the shaft can be made uniform, and rattling can be further prevented.
[0015]
In order to increase the strength against the load acting when the first drawer body or the second drawer body is pulled out and used, the lengths of the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion are increased, This can be done by increasing the area in sliding contact with the shaft. However, the longer the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion, the shorter the protruding and retracting distance. Therefore, the lengths of the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion are optimized depending on the load, material, storage space, and the like. Need to design.
[0016]
The shaft may be made of resin, and a resin having self-lubricating property may be used for one of the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion or the shaft, and sliding between the resins may be performed. However, since the resin is fundamentally insufficient in strength, it is desirable that the shaft be made of metal. As a result, it becomes easy to cope with a case where a large load is applied, and the shape can be made more compact, so that the degree of freedom in design is improved. Furthermore, since the metal is hardly deformed during the heat resistance test, rattling can be further prevented. If the shaft is a hollow pipe, an increase in weight can be suppressed. Since the sliding between the metal and the resin is very smooth, the operation feeling is further improved and the generation of abnormal noise can be prevented.
[0017]
Furthermore, in the drawer device of the present invention, a first drawer body and a second drawer body are formed. Therefore, by pulling out one drawer body and keeping the other drawer body in the opening, the drawer body can be used as a cup holder or the like, and is located below the housed drawer body. Devices such as ashtrays can be used simultaneously.
[0018]
The first drawer body has first sliding portions on both the left and right sides, and the second drawer body has second sliding portions on both the left and right sides. A common shaft is inserted through the second sliding portion. Therefore, at the time of intrusion, the first drawer body is pulled out together with the second drawer body by the engagement of the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion facing each other, and the second drawer body is the first drawer body. Moreover, it can comprise so that it may be accommodated in opening, and two drawer devices can be made to appear and disappear by one operation.
[0019]
That is, one first sliding part and one second sliding part that are opposed to each other are arranged such that the first sliding part is closer to the front than the second sliding part. When the first drawer body is pulled out, only the first drawer body can be pulled out with the second drawer body stored in the opening. On the other hand, when the second drawer body is pulled out, the second sliding portion engages with the first sliding portion, and therefore, when the second drawer body is pulled out, the first drawer body is also pulled out simultaneously.
[0020]
If the second drawer main body is pushed into the opening while the first drawer main body and the second drawer main body are both pulled out, only the second drawer main body remains in the state where the first drawer main body is pulled out. Can be stored. On the other hand, when the first drawer body is pushed so as to be accommodated in the opening, the first sliding part engages with the second sliding part, so that the first drawer body moves and opens simultaneously with the movement of the first drawer body. Stored inside.
[0021]
Therefore, according to the drawer device of the present invention, it is possible to perform an operation that allows one drawer main body to be moved in and out and two drawer main bodies to be moved in and out at the same time. . Moreover, since the 1st drawer main body can be pulled out and used in the state which accommodated the 2nd drawer main body in opening, the ashtray etc. which are arrange | positioned under the 2nd drawer main body can be used.
[0022]
At least two drawer bodies are used, but three or more drawer bodies can be used. In this case, the drawer main body at the center is configured such that the sliding parts at both ends share the shaft, and the drawer main bodies at both ends share the shaft with the sliding part on one side. In this way, if the drawer body at one end is pulled out, all the remaining drawer bodies can be pulled out simultaneously, and if the drawer body at the other end is stored, all the remaining drawer bodies can be stored simultaneously. Therefore, the number of shafts is required at least by the number of drawer bodies + 1.
[0023]
It is desirable that one end of the shaft is held by a detachable bracket, and the sliding portion is detachable from the shaft by removing the bracket. If comprised in this way, a drawer | drawing member can be easily attached or detached from a holding member by forming a sliding part in a drawer member and using a shaft for a holding member, and replacement | exchange can be performed easily. Further, by providing only one holding member, it is possible to select and mount from a plurality of types of drawer members such as a cup holder, a table, a card holder, and a box, and the degree of freedom of application is improved.
[0024]
In addition, the drawer | drawing-out apparatus of this invention can be provided in interior parts, such as an instrument panel of a motor vehicle, a center cluster, a door trim, a console box, a sheet | seat.

The front holding member 1 and the rear holding member 2 are formed from a sheet metal to have a substantially L-shaped cross section, and three flange portions 10 and 20 each having a screw hole are formed at substantially equal intervals on each side. On the other side, three spring portions 11, 21 formed by bending are formed at approximately equal intervals, and the spring portions 11, 21 project in a U-shaped cross section parallel to the flange portions 10, 20. .
[0028]
As shown in FIG. 3, the front holding member 1 and the rear holding member 2 are disposed in parallel to the opening 60 in a horizontally long opening 60 provided in the center cluster 6 and extending perpendicularly to the paper surface. In the vicinity of the opening 60, the rear holding member 2 is fixed to the base material of the center cluster 5 with screws 12, and is fixed with screws 22 at a predetermined distance apart in parallel with the front holding member 1.
[0029]
Each of the shafts 3 is formed of a metal pipe and has a length corresponding to the distance between the front holding member 1 and the rear holding member 2 fixed to the center cluster 6. Both ends of the shaft 3 are fixed by screws 13 and 23 by connecting the flange portion 10 and the flange portion 20 facing each other, and the shaft 3 is perpendicular to and parallel to the front holding member 1 and the rear holding member 2, respectively. It is fixed. That is, the three shafts 3 are arranged in parallel to each other and at right angles to the opening 60. The shaft 3 is in a state of being separated from the surfaces fixed to the center cluster 6 of the front holding member 1 and the rear holding member 2, and the apexes of the spring portions 11, 21 are at a position lower than the shaft 3.
[0030]
The trays 4 and 5 are each formed into a flat plate shape by injection molding from ABS resin, and holder holes 40 and 50 are formed, respectively. Handles 41 and 51 that are bent downward and extend left and right are formed at the front end, and thick first sliding portions 42 and 43 and second sliding portions 52 and 53 that protrude left and right at both ends of the other end, respectively. Is formed. The first sliding portions 42 and 43 and the second sliding portions 52 and 53 are formed with through holes 44 and 54 that extend in parallel to the front-rear direction (intrusion direction), respectively. The shafts 3 are inserted into the through holes 44 and 54 of the first sliding portions 42 and 43 and the second sliding portions 52 and 53, respectively, so that the trays 4 and 5 are disposed in the opening 60 in the front holding member 1 and the rear holding member 1. It is held by the holding member 2 and can be moved back and forth by the guide of the shaft 3.
[0031]
Here, in the one first sliding portion 43 and the one second sliding portion 53 facing each other, the through holes 44 and 54 are on the same straight line, and the first sliding portion 43 is the second sliding portion. It arrange | positions so that it may be located in front of the moving part 53. FIG. A common shaft 3 is inserted into the first sliding portion 43 and the second sliding portion 53, and the first sliding portion 43 and the second sliding portion 53 move back and forth by sliding with the common shaft 3, respectively.

Next, when both the trays 4 and 5 are used from the state of FIG. 2, a finger is put on the handle 51 and the tray 5 is pulled forward. Then, the left and right second sliding portions 52, 53 move forward while sliding with the pair of shafts 3, and one second sliding portion 53 is engaged with one first sliding portion 43. Therefore, the first sliding part 43 moves forward together with the second sliding part 53. Thereby, the tray 4 is pulled out together with the tray 5. Although there is resistance due to the elastic contact of the spring part 21 at the initial stage of movement, if the first sliding parts 42, 43 and the second sliding parts 52, 53 are detached from the spring part 21, the movement becomes smooth and can be easily pulled out. . Further, since the clearance between the through holes 44 and 54 and the shaft 3 is about 1/100 mm, rattling is prevented during movement, and the operation feeling is excellent and the generation of abnormal noise does not occur. When the trays 4 and 5 protrude from the opening 60 to some extent, the receiving members 45 and 55 swing and descend by their own weight.
[0039]
As shown in FIG. 6, the movement of the trays 4 and 5 is restricted by the front end surfaces of the first sliding portions 42 and 43 and the second sliding portion 52 coming into contact with the front holding member 1. At that time, since the spring portion 11 is in elastic contact with the first sliding portions 42 and 43 and the second sliding portion 52, the resistance from the spring portion 11 and the first sliding portion 43 and the second sliding portion 53 Thus, the trays 4 and 5 are prevented from entering the opening 60 during rapid acceleration or the like. The receiving members 45 and 55 are swung to the lowermost end and engaged with a not-shown convex portion, so that further downward swinging is restricted, and the bottom of the can juice or the like inserted into the holder holes 40 and 50 To be held. Further, since the clearance between the through holes 44 and 54 and the shaft 3 is about 1/100 mm, the beverage is prevented from spilling due to rattling and no abnormal noise is generated. Furthermore, since the first sliding portions 42 and 43 and the second sliding portions 52 and 53 are respectively engaged with the shaft 3 with a predetermined length, they have a strength that can withstand heavy loads such as can juice. doing.
[0040]
When the trays 4 and 5 are stored, the tray 4 is pressed into the opening 60 after removing can juice and the like. The left and right first sliding portions 42 and 43 move forward while sliding with the pair of shafts 3, and the first sliding portion 43 is engaged with the second sliding portion 53. The moving part 53 moves forward together with the first sliding part 43. As a result, the tray 5 moves together with the tray 4 into the opening 60. Although there is resistance due to elastic contact of the spring portion 11 at the initial stage of movement, when the first sliding portions 42 and 43 and the second sliding portion 52 are detached from the spring portion 11, the movement becomes smooth and can be easily stored. Further, since the clearance between the through holes 44 and 45 and the shaft 3 is about 1/100 mm, rattling is prevented at the time of movement, the operation feeling is excellent, and no abnormal noise is generated. Then, after the receiving members 45 and 55 are brought into contact with the edge of the opening 60, the trays 4 and 5 are pushed from the edge of the opening 60 as the trays 4 and 5 are moved into the opening 60, swinging and raising one end The close proximity to the trays 4 and 5 enables storage in the opening 60.
[0041]
That is, according to the cup holder of this embodiment, since the rattling of the trays 4 and 5 is prevented, the operation feeling is excellent and the generation of abnormal noise is also prevented. It also has sufficient strength when used. The front holding member 1 and the rear holding member 2 formed of sheet metal and the hollow shaft 3 correspond to a conventional case and are light in weight, so there is almost no problem of weight increase compared to a conventional cup holder.
