Description

The present invention relates to a rotating body device having a hinge device for rotating the rotating body with respect to a substrate, and a storage device provided with the hinge device.

Conventionally, a box body which is arranged between the driver's seat and the passenger seat of an automobile and is a storage body as a main body having an opening on the upper surface and the like and a lid as a rotating body which opens and closes the opening of the box main body. A console box is known as a provided storage device.

In such a configuration, when the lid is rotatably supported directly with respect to the box body, in order to avoid interference between the vicinity of the rotation axis of the lid and the box body when the lid is rotated. , It is necessary to process the lid and the box body, such as notches, which reduces the degree of freedom in design.

Therefore, by rotatably connecting the lid body to the box body with a four-node link (biaxial hinge), the position of the rotation axis of the lid body is changed with rotation, and in the vicinity of this rotation axis. A configuration is known to avoid interference between the lid and the box body (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4).

However, in these configurations, since the position of the rotation axis of the lid moves in the direction away from the box body, for example, when a pair of lids are provided to open both sides (double doors) (see, for example, Patent Document 5). ), It is necessary to provide a notch or the like on the back surface side of the tip of each lid so that the lids arranged facing each other do not interfere with each other during rotation. Such a notch not only deteriorates the appearance, but also creates a gap between the tips of the lids facing each other. Therefore, for example, even when the lid is closed, dust or dust or dust is generated from the gap between the lids. It is necessary to add a separate member or structure so that thin plate-shaped foreign matter such as coins does not fall into the box body.

One of the link member 32) is movably (sliding) connected to the other. The slide shaft 46 is inserted into the elongated hole 64 and the connecting hole 38, fixed to the lid 25 (lid side link member 32) in the present embodiment, and the first link member is formed along the elongated hole 64. It is possible to move (slide) relative to 41. Therefore, the elongated hole 64 through which the slide shaft 46 is inserted moves (slides) the lid body 31 (the lid side link member 32) together with the slide shaft 46 in a direction intersecting (orthogonal) with respect to the rotation direction. It is possible.

The torsion spring 47 urges the slide shaft 46 against the second link member 42 along the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 64. That is, in this torsion spring 47, the lid body 25 (lid body side link member 32) is directed toward the outside of the opening 22 (away from the other lid body 25) about the third rotation shaft 45. The lid body 25 (lid body side link member 32) is urged in the direction of rotation. The torsion spring 47 is attached to a third rotating shaft 45, one arm portion 47a is in contact with the slide shaft 46, and the other arm portion 47b is attached to the second link member 42 (second connecting surface portion 72). ) Is in contact with it. Then, the torsion spring 47 has a direction in which one arm portion 47a and the other arm portion 47b are separated from each other, that is, the second link member 42 and the slide shaft 46 (lid body 25 (lid body side link member 32)). Generates an urging force F in the direction in which the lids 25 open an angle with each other, in other words, in the direction in which the lid 25 opens the opening 22. A leaf spring or the like can be used instead of the torsion spring 47 .

The lock mechanism holds the lid 25 so as not to rotate against the urging of the torsion spring 47, and can release the holding by an operation of an occupant or the like .

The console box 10 is closed, and the lock mechanism holds the lids 25, 25 with the lid bodies 31, 31 of the lids 25, 25 closing the opening 22. At this time, the lid bodies 31 and 31 are adjacent to each other with substantially no gap and cover the entire opening 22 (FIG. 1). Further, the slide shaft 46 (slot hole 64) and the third rotation shaft 45 are positioned vertically (aligned in the opening direction of the opening 22). The torsion spring 47 is in a state in which an urging force F is generated with respect to the slide shaft 46 located at one end (right end in FIG. 1) of the elongated hole 64.

In this state, the occupant or the like releases the holding of each lid 25 by the lock mechanism, and pulls the lid 25 (lid body 31) upward to perform the opening operation. By setting the urging force F of the torsion spring 47 to be sufficiently large, the lid 25 can be automatically opened by the urging force F of the torsion spring 47.

At this time, the lid body 31 is formed of a four-section link by the first link member 41, the second link member 42, the lid side link member 32, the rotation shafts 43 to 45, and the slide shaft 46. , Rotates along the trajectory defined by the rotation locus of the first and second link members 41 and 42 defined by the four-section link and the rotation locus of the lid side link member 32 (FIG. 2). And Fig. 3).

More specifically, in the rotation operation of the lid body 25, the second link member 42 is moved by the occupant or the like pulling up the lid body 25 (lid body body 31) or by urging the torsion spring 47. As it rotates upward, the first link member 41 rotates upward, and the lid side link member 32 of the lid 25 connected to the first and second link members 41 and 42 rotates. In the second link member 42, the third fixed shaft support hole 74 side rotates upward (outward) about the second rotation shaft 44, whereas the second rotation shaft The first link member 41, which is connected to the 44 by the lid side link member 32, rotates around the first rotation shaft 43 with the elongated hole 64 side upward (outward) to a predetermined position, and then continues. It swings so as to rotate downward.

At this time, the rotation locus of the first link member 41 and the rotation locus of the second link member 42 intersect with each other, so that the lid side link member 32 becomes the second as the second link member 42 rotates. The relative positional relationship between the shaft support hole 37 connected to the link member 42 of 2 and the connecting hole 38 connected to the first link member 41 via the slide shaft 46 gradually changes, specifically. By gradually moving the position of the shaft support hole 37 (third rotating shaft 45) to the center side (right side in the figure) of the opening 22 with respect to the position of the connecting hole 38 (slide shaft 46), The lid body 31 (lid body 25) rotates around the shaft support hole 37 (third rotation shaft 45) together with the lid body side link member 32, and the lid body 25 stands up. Therefore, the slide shaft 46 to which the urging force F is applied by the torsion spring 47 due to the change in the relative directional relationship between the urging direction by the torsion spring 47 and the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 64 becomes the slide shaft 46. While escaping to the other end side (left side in FIG. 2) in the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 64 together with the integrally fixed lid side link member 32, in other words, without moving in the direction of arrow A (FIG. 1). The lid body 25 (lid body side link member 32) rotates. Therefore, the adjacent lid bodies 31, 31 move smoothly in directions away from each other without interfering with each other (FIG. 5).

Then, in the fully opened state (maximum open state) of the lid body 25, the lid body 31 opens the opening 22 along the vertical direction along a direction forming approximately 90 ° with respect to the closed state (FIG. 3). .. In this state, the slide shaft 46 and the third rotation shaft 45 are positioned to the left and right (aligned in a direction intersecting (orthogonal) with respect to the opening direction of the opening 22). Therefore, the urging force F of the torsion spring 47 acts downward with respect to the slide shaft 46, that is, in a direction intersecting (orthogonal) with respect to the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 64, thereby acting on the slide shaft 46. Does not move along the slot 64, and the lid 25 (lid body 31) remains open.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the four-section link connecting the box body 12 and the lid 25 is composed of the first and second link members 41 and 42, and the first link member. By making the connection position between the 41 and the lid 25 movable along the direction intersecting the rotation direction of the lid 25, the lid 25 can be moved in the direction intersecting the rotation direction during rotation. It is possible to escape, and for example, the box body 12 and the lid 25 can be prevented from interfering with the lid 25 during rotation without deteriorating the appearance by providing a notch for preventing interference. That is, the gap between the lid bodies 25 and 25 (lid body bodies 31, 31) can be set narrow in advance, and it is possible to improve the appearance, prevent the inside view in the closed state, and prevent the entry of foreign matter.

Either the lid body 25 or the first link member 41, in the present embodiment, the first link member 41 has a rotation direction D1 of the lid 25 with respect to the second link member 42 and a second with respect to the box body 12. An elongated hole 64 is provided along a direction different from that of the rotation direction D2 of the link member 41 of 1, and a slide shaft 46 inserted through the elongated hole 64 is provided between the lid 25 and the first link member 41. By fixing to the other side and urging the slide shaft 46 with respect to the second link member 41 by the torsion spring 47 in the direction along the elongated hole 64, the urging force F of the torsion spring 47 becomes a four-bar link (each link member). Since it is sufficiently transmitted to 32, 41, 42), efficient spring setting is possible, and the position of the slide shaft 46 can be regulated within the slot 64, so that the lid 25 connected to the slide shaft 46 can be regulated. Wobble when opening can be suppressed. Moreover, if the urging force F of the torsion spring 47 is set sufficiently large, the lid 25 can be automatically opened.

By providing the lid device 13 described above, it is not necessary to provide a notch or the like for preventing interference in the box body 12 or the lid 25 (lid body 31), so that the inside of the box body 12 is exposed from this notch. When rotating without degrading the appearance, for example, thin foreign matter such as coins does not enter the box body 12 from the outside when the opening 22 of the box body 12 is closed by the lid 25 and visible from the outside. The lid 25 (lid body 31) can be prevented from interfering with each other, and the storage capacity of the console box 10 can be ensured.

Further, the lid devices 13 and 13 are provided in pairs with respect to the box main body 12, so that the lid bodies 25 (lid body main body 31) of the lid devices 13 and 13 rotate in symmetrical directions. That is, even if the opening 22 is opened on both sides (double doors) by the lid 25 (lid body 31), the lids 25 approach each other and interfere with each other by the hinge device 26 without processing the lid 25. It can be rotated smoothly without any trouble.

In the above embodiment, the positional relationship between the elongated hole 64 and the connecting hole 38 may be reversed. That is, the elongated hole may be provided on the lid body 25 side (lid body side link member 32), and the connecting hole may be provided on the first link member 41. In this case, by fixing the first rotating shaft 43 to the first link member 41, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment.

Further, although the console box 10 provided in the passenger compartment of the vehicle has been described, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and can be applied to a vehicle storage box or the like arranged at another position of the vehicle. Further, the present invention is not limited to vehicles, and can be applied to storage devices installed in various places. The rotating body is not limited to the storage device, that is, the rotating body is not limited to the lid that opens and closes the opening of the storage box, and can be applied as a lid device having a lid that covers a portion such as an operation portion.

The present invention can be applied to a console box or the like provided in the passenger compartment of a vehicle.
