<Vehicle structure>
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention viewed from the rear of the vehicle, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the structure of the rear of the vehicle 1. In the case of the present embodiment, the vehicle 1 includes doors 2 and 3 that open and close the entrance on the side of the vehicle, and three rows of seats (front row seat SL1, middle row seat SL2, rear row seat) are provided on the floor 6 in the vehicle interior. Although the vehicle is a minivan type vehicle provided with SL3), the present invention is also applicable to various types of vehicles or vehicles having various seat arrangements.

  The vehicle 1 includes an opening 4 at a rear part thereof and a door 5 that opens and closes the opening 4. The occupant can take in and out luggage and the like through the opening 4. The door 5 opens and closes the opening 4 by rotating in the vertical direction with the upper part as the rotation center. A door sensor 112 shown in FIG. 2 is a sensor that detects whether the door 5 is in an open state or a closed state. For example, the door sensor 112 is a mechanical switch that is mechanically turned on and off according to the state of the door 5. 1 shows a state in which the door 5 is opened, and FIG. 2 shows a state in which the door 5 is closed.

  A storage portion 10 is formed between the opening 4 and the rear row sheet SL3. The storage portion 10 is formed so as to be recessed from the floor 6. The storage unit 10 has a front wall 10a, side walls 10b and 10b, and a bottom surface 10c, and a rear wall serving as a wall on the opening 4 side is formed by a movable wall 11 described later.

  The rear row seat SL3 includes two seats SL31 and SL32 provided side by side in the vehicle width direction. Each of the seats SL31 and SL32 can not only rotate the seat back about the rotation axis PV1 with respect to the seat cushion, but also the entire seat can rotate about the rotation axis PV2. For this reason, the seat SL 31 and SL 32 can be stored in the storage unit 10 by rotating the entire seat around the rotation axis PV2 in a state where the seat back is rotated toward the seat cushion and the seat is folded. It has become.

  The seat storage method is not limited to this. For example, the seats SL31 and SL32 are removed from the floor 6, and then the seats SL31 and SL32 are folded so that the seat cushion and the seat back overlap and stored in the storage unit 10. A system etc. may be sufficient.

  3 and 4 show a mode (stored state) in which the sheet SL31 is stored in the storage unit 10 out of the two sheets SL31 and SL32. The sheet SL31 is stored in the storage unit 10 by rotating in the direction of the arrow d1 in FIG. In the stored state, the upper surface of the folded seat SL31 (the bottom surface of the seat cushion) is substantially flush with the upper surface of the floor 6, and the depth of the storage unit 10 is set so as to form a continuous surface. .

  3 and 4 show a mode in which only the sheet SL31 is stored in the storage unit 10, the sheet SL32 can also be stored in the storage unit 10 in the same manner. However, only one of the two sheets SL31 and SL32 may be movable so that it can be stored in the storage unit 10, and the other may be fixed.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a sheet position sensor 113 for detecting whether or not the sheets SL31 and SL32 are stored in the storage unit 10 is provided. In the case of the present embodiment, the sheet position sensor 113 is assumed to be configured to individually detect whether or not they are in the stored state by detecting the rotation amounts of the respective rotation axes PV2 of the sheets SL31 and SL32. Any sensor may be used as long as it can detect whether or not the sheets SL31 and SL32 are in the housed state, and an arrangement site thereof may be appropriately selected.

  The storage unit 10 can store the sheets SL31 and SL32 as described above, but when one of the sheets SL31 and SL32 is in a use state (the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2), it can be used as a storage space for luggage. . As shown in FIG. 2, a luggage sensor 115 is disposed in the lower part of the storage unit 10.

  The baggage sensor 115 is a sensor that detects whether or not a baggage is stored in the storage unit 10, and for example, a weight sensor that detects a weight acting on the bottom surface 10c, or whether an object is present on the bottom surface 10c. An optical sensor or a mechanical switch for detecting the above can be applied. It is preferable that a plurality of luggage sensors 115 are arranged in the vehicle front-rear direction and the vehicle width direction so as to detect the presence or absence of luggage throughout the storage unit 10. Note that whether or not the object in the storage unit 10 is a luggage or a sheet SL31 or SL32 can be distinguished from the detection result of the sheet position sensor 113.

  Next, the vehicle 1 includes a movable wall portion 11. The movable wall portion 11 has a plate shape and can be displaced between the wall portion forming position and the step platform forming position. In the case of the present embodiment, the movable wall portion 11 is displaced by being rotatably supported around the rotating shaft 11c. It is possible.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the wall portion forming position means that the movable wall portion 11 is in an upright state, the surface 11 a faces the front wall 10 a of the storage portion 10, and forms the rear wall of the storage portion 10. It is a position to do. When the movable wall portion 11 is located at the wall portion forming position, the luggage in the storage portion 10 is prevented from dropping backward. In the present embodiment, since the upper end of the movable wall portion 11 is substantially at the same height as the extension line of the floor 6 at the wall portion formation position, it does not greatly hinder the loading and unloading of the luggage into the storage portion 10. .

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the step platform forming position tilts backward from the wall forming position and protrudes from the opening 4 to the outside of the rear of the vehicle, with the front surface 11 a of the movable wall portion 11 facing upward and the back surface 11 b being It is a position that turns downward and assumes a substantially horizontal posture. When the movable wall part 11 is located at this step formation position, the movable wall part 11 can be used as a step board for getting on and off.

  The boarding / exiting of the vehicle 1 is basically performed through the side of the vehicle 1 by opening the door 2 or 3, but the rear row seat SL3 is located at a position slightly away from the door 2 or 3, so the boarding / exiting property is good. There may not be. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the opening 4 is also used as an entrance / exit, and the movable wall 11 is used as a step for a passenger.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of an occupant getting-off mode through the opening 4. In the example of the figure, a state in which an occupant sitting on the seat SL32 gets out of the opening 4 is shown. The sheet SL31 is in a stored state, and this is also used as a step. The occupant can get off using the seat SL31 and the movable wall portion 11 as steps. The same applies to boarding.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the movable wall portion 11 can be used as the wall portion of the storage portion 10 and the platform. Therefore, the front and rear length of the vehicle can be shortened as compared with the case where the step platform and the rear wall of the storage unit 10 are provided separately, and the step platform for getting on and off can be provided while suppressing an increase in the size of the vehicle 1.

  Next, when the movable wall portion 11 is located at the footrest forming position, the storage portion 10 is opened rearward, so that loading / unloading of the luggage into / from the storage portion 10 is facilitated. In particular, in the case of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the rotation shaft 11 c is more than the portion of the bottom surface 10 c of the storage unit 10 adjacent to the movable wall portion 11 (the rear end of the bottom surface 10 c). Since it is located below, when the movable wall portion 11 is located at this platform formation position, the storage portion 10 is opened to the rear more greatly, and loading / unloading of the luggage can be facilitated.

  In addition, in the case of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the movable wall portion 11 has a rear end portion of the bottom surface 10 c of the storage portion 10 when the movable wall portion 11 is located at the step formation position. And has a surface 11a that is a surface that forms a continuous upper surface. For this reason, the surface 11a of the movable wall portion 11 is used, and the load can be moved in and out of the storage portion 10 by sliding the load between the bottom surface 10c and the load can be taken in and out more easily. .

  Next, the displacement of the movable wall portion 11 can be performed manually, but is preferably automated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, an automatic displacement device 20 that automatically displaces the movable wall portion 11 between the wall portion formation position and the step formation position is provided.

  With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, in the case of the present embodiment, the automatic displacement device 20 is an electric cylinder, and includes a motor 21 serving as a drive source, a cylinder portion 22, and a rod portion 23 that moves forward and backward with respect to the cylinder portion 22. Prepare. An arm member 24 is rotatably connected to the tip of the rod portion 23. Two automatic displacement devices 20 are disposed apart from each other in the vehicle width direction, and each arm member 24 is inserted into holes 4b and 4b formed in a peripheral edge 4a on the bottom side that defines the opening 4, and is movable walls. It is connected to the back surface 11 b of the part 11.

  Then, the motor 21 is driven from the state shown in FIG. 2, and the rod part 23 is retracted into the cylinder part 22 in the direction of the arrow d3 as shown in FIG. 4, and the movable wall part 11 is moved from the wall part forming position to the step board forming position. It can be rotated in the direction of arrow d2. If the rod part 23 is moved in the reverse direction, the movable wall part 11 can be returned from the platform formation position to the wall formation position. In the present embodiment, an electric cylinder is employed as the automatic displacement device 20, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that a hydraulic cylinder or other drive mechanism may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an operation switch 111 is disposed in the vicinity of the opening 4. The occupant can operate the operation switch 111 to instruct whether the position of the movable wall portion 11 is the wall formation position or the step formation position.

<Configuration of control unit>
Next, a control unit that controls the motor 21 of the automatic displacement device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the control unit 100. The control unit 100 includes a CPU 101, a storage unit 102, and an I / F (interface) 103.

  The CPU 101 acquires the detection results of the operation switch 111, the door sensor 112, the seat position sensor 113, the tilt sensor 114, and the luggage sensor 115, and controls the motor 21 according to a program stored in the storage unit 102. The inclination sensor 114 detects the inclination state of the vehicle 1, and particularly detects the inclination in the pitch direction. The storage unit 102 includes, for example, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. An I / F 103 is an interface between the CPU 101 and an external device.

  For example, when an operation of the occupant is detected by the operation switch 111, the CPU 101 drives the motor 21 and moves the movable wall portion 11 to the step platform forming position or the wall portion forming position in accordance with the occupant's instruction. Further, when the door 5 is opened, there is a possibility that an occupant gets in and out of the passenger compartment through the opening 4. Therefore, when the door 5 is opened, the motor 21 can be driven to displace the movable wall portion 11 from the wall portion formation position to the step formation position. By doing so, the convenience of the passenger | crew at the time of boarding / alighting through the opening part 4 can be improved. FIG. 7 is a flowchart executed by the CPU 101 showing an example of such automatic displacement control.

  In S1, the detection result of the door sensor 112 is acquired and it is determined whether or not the door 5 is opened (changed from the closed state to the open state). If applicable, the process proceeds to S2, and if not, one unit of processing is terminated. In S2, the detection result of the sheet position sensor 113 is acquired, and it is determined whether or not at least one of the sheets SL31 and SL32 is stored. If at least one is in the storage state, the process proceeds to S3. If both the sheets SL31 and SL32 are in the use state, it is assumed that boarding / exiting through the opening 4 is not planned, and unnecessary step formation is performed. One unit of processing is terminated to prevent automatic displacement to the position.

  In S3, it is determined whether or not a predetermined automatic displacement prohibition condition is satisfied. If satisfied, one unit of processing is terminated, and if not satisfied, the process proceeds to S4. The automatic displacement prohibition condition will be described later. In S4, the motor 21 is driven to perform a process of displacing the movable wall portion 11 from the wall portion formation position to the platform formation position. As a result, the movable wall portion 11 is displaced to the step formation position so as to be interlocked with the opening of the door 5, so that it is possible to improve the convenience of the passenger who plans to get on and off through the opening 4.

  Next, an example of the automatic displacement prohibition condition in S3 will be described. In the case where luggage is present in the storage unit 10, there is a possibility that the luggage will fall out of the storage unit 10 when the movable wall portion 11 is displaced to the platform formation position. Therefore, the case where a load is present in the storage unit 10 can be set as a condition for prohibiting automatic displacement to the platform formation position. Whether or not a baggage exists in the storage unit 10 can be determined based on detection results of the sheet position sensor 113 and the baggage sensor 115.

  Even when the movable wall portion 11 is displaced to the step formation position, it is considered that the luggage does not fall from the storage portion 10 unless the vehicle 1 is tilted backward. Therefore, the automatic displacement prohibiting condition to the step formation position can be set when the inclination sensor 114 detects that the vehicle 1 is inclined so that the opening 4 side is down. Alternatively, when the inclination sensor 114 detects that the vehicle 1 is inclined so that the opening 4 side is downward, and the presence of a load in the storage unit 10 is detected, the vehicle is automatically moved to the step formation position. Displacement prohibition conditions can be set.

  In addition, regarding the detection of the inclination of the vehicle 1 described here, a threshold value is previously set for the degree of inclination, and the automatic displacement prohibiting condition can be set when the threshold value is exceeded.

  Next, when there is a load in the storage unit 10, the load may be an obstacle to getting on and off, so it is considered that the passenger does not get on and off the opening 4 immediately. Therefore, from the viewpoint of preventing the movable wall portion 11 from being automatically displaced to the platform formation position unnecessarily, a case where a load is present in the storage unit 10 can be set as a condition for prohibiting automatic displacement to the platform formation position.

<Other embodiments>
In the embodiment described above, the movable wall portion 11 forms a step as a step, but may be a wheelchair slope or a staircase, for example. Moreover, the displacement method of the movable wall part 11 is not only rotation, but, for example, a horizontal plane extending backward is provided at the lower part of the movable wall part 11 to form an L-shaped cross-section, and the movable wall part 11 slides downward. , May form a step.
