[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the console box shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, when a beverage scatters or overflows from the inside of the cup 6 in which the lower part is fitted in the cup holder 7, the liquid droplet 8 drops on the wall surface of the console body 2. There is concern that a short circuit will occur as a result of entering the recess 3 and wetting the contacts of the receptacles 4 and 5.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a console box capable of preventing short-circuiting of contacts of various receptacles.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a console box according to claim 1 is provided with a recessed portion that is recessed toward the front of the passenger compartment on the wall surface of the console rear end portion of the console body having a cup holder on the upper portion. A receptacle in which the plug can be inserted and removed is mounted in the recessed portion , and a slit for dropping droplets is formed in the inner peripheral surface of the recessed portion connected to the wall surface of the console body above the receptacle. .
[0009]
Console box of claim 2, the concave outer side near the edge of the slit is provided with a draining projection projecting downward.
[0012]
The console box according to claim 1, wherein a slit is formed in a path in which a droplet of beverage splashed or overflowed from the inside of the cup reaches the receptacle, the droplet is prevented from advancing by the slit and dropped, and the contact point of the receptacle Prevent short circuit.
[0013]
In the console box according to claim 2, a liquid draining protrusion is provided in a slit formed in a path leading to a receptacle where a liquid droplet splashed or overflowed from the inside of the cup, and the progress of the liquid droplet is prevented by the liquid draining protrusion. To prevent the receptacle contacts from short-circuiting.
[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0017]
1 and 2 show a first example of an embodiment of a console box according to the present invention. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 7 and 8 denote the same components.
[0018]
In this console box, a slit 9 extending in the vehicle width direction is formed at a location above the receptacle 4 in the inner peripheral surface of the recessed portion 3 of the console body 2.
[0019]
That is, when the beverage inside the cup 6 scatters or overflows, the liquid droplet 8 entering the recessed portion 3 along the wall surface of the console body 2 is prevented from advancing by the slit 9 before reaching the receptacle 4 mounting position. The contact point of the receptacle 4 can be prevented from being short-circuited.
[0020]
3 and 4 show a second example of the embodiment of the console box of the present invention. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 7 and 8 denote the same parts.
[0021]
In this console box, a liquid draining protrusion 10 that protrudes downward is provided at the outer edge of the recessed portion 3 of the slit 9.
[0022]
That is, when the beverage inside the cup 6 scatters or overflows, the liquid droplet 8 entering the recessed portion 3 is dropped while being prevented from advancing by the liquid draining protrusion 10 and the slit 9 before reaching the receptacle 4 mounting position. The short circuit of the contact of the receptacle 4 can be prevented.
[0023]
5 and 6 show an example of the related art of the present invention, and in the figures, the parts denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 7 and 8 represent the same items.
[0024]
In this console box, on the inner peripheral surface of the recessed portion 3 of the console body 2, a step portion 11 extending over the entire periphery is formed so that the opening cross-section is narrower at the portion closer to the receptacle 4 mounting surface.
[0025]
Further, a groove-like portion 12 that is recessed toward the front side of the passenger compartment is formed on the receptacle 4 mounting surface of the recessed portion 3 so as to surround the receptacle 4 in the circumferential direction.
[0026]
That is, when the beverage inside the cup 6 scatters or overflows, the droplet 8 entering the recessed portion 3 travels along the stepped portion 11 or the groove-shaped portion 12 and reaches the recessed portion 3 before reaching the receptacle 4 mounting position. It is led from the inner bottom part to the wall surface of the console main body 2, whereby the short circuit of the contact of the receptacle 4 can be prevented.
[0027]
Note that the console box of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the console box of the present invention, the following excellent effects can be obtained.
[0029]
(1) In the console box according to the first aspect of the present invention, a slit is formed in a path where the beverage droplets scattered or overflowed from the inside of the cup reach the receptacle, and the progression of the droplet is prevented by the slit. There is no short circuit at the contact.
[0030]
(2) In the console box according to the second aspect of the present invention, a liquid draining protrusion is provided in a slit formed in a path leading to a receptacle where a droplet of beverage splashed or overflowed from the inside of the cup, and the progress of the liquid droplet is projected. Therefore, there is no short circuit at the contact of the receptacle.
