Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an arrangement structure near a driver's seat of an automobile. The present invention relates to an arrangement structure for an electrical component box and a console box. The present invention is suitable for implementation in a cab-over type automobile.

Here, the electrical equipment box is a box for accommodating the control computer of the automobile, the diagnostic monitor of the control computer and other electrical equipment, and the console box is arbitrarily used by the driver as a simple storage case. It is a storage box.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional electrical equipment is generally distributed in the driver's seat dashboard, its rear side, engine room, etc. because of the space required. It is difficult to see if they are arranged, and it takes a lot of man-hours to check the distributed electrical components.

[0004]

In recent years, due to the miniaturization of the engine structure and the improvement of the engine and chassis mounting structure, as shown in FIG. 3, the relationship between the engine position and the cab structure of a cab-over type automobile has been improved. It has been found that the structure shown in FIG. 9A is changed to the structure shown in FIG. With this structure, the floor surface inside the cab can be formed to be substantially flat, so that the mounting structure of various devices around the driver's seat can be further rationalized.

The present invention has been made against such a background, and an object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement structure for easily inspecting electrical components and reducing the number of man-hours.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a floor surface between a driver's seat and a passenger's seat is formed at substantially the same height as a mounting surface of both seats, and the floor surface between the two seats is formed. An electrical equipment box having an upper opening shape is attached, and a console box having a stacking lid structure is detachably attached to the upper opening of the electrical equipment box by a fastener.

The electrical equipment box may have a structure that also serves as a control lever mount for the parking brake.

[0008]

[Operation] An electrical equipment box with an open top is formed on the floor surface that is formed at approximately the same height as the seat mounting surfaces of the driver's seat and passenger seat, and the upper part is open for control inside the box. Place the computer, its control computer diagnostics monitor, and other electrical components. In addition, a console box with a stacking lid structure is removably attached to the top of the electrical equipment box with fasteners.

As a result, the distributed electrical components can be centrally disposed adjacent to the driver's seat, which facilitates the inspection work of the electrical components and reduces the number of work steps. Various devices to be placed around the driver's seat can be implemented reasonably.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the inside of a driver's seat showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an opened state of an electrical component box in the embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the floor surface 3 between the driver's seat 1 and the passenger's seat 2 is formed at substantially the same height as the mounting surface 4 of both seats 1 and 2, and both seats 1 and 2 are formed. An electrical component box 5 having an open upper portion is attached to the floor surface 3 between them, and a stack lid 9 attached by a hinge 10 is provided on the upper portion of the electrical component box 5, and the console box 6 is attached to the stack lid 9. Is detachably attached by the fastener 7. Further, the electrical component box 5 is configured to also serve as a mount for the control lever 8 of the parking brake (not shown).

Stacking lid 9 attached to electrical equipment box 5
The hinge 10 can be easily opened and closed, and the console box 6 can be unlocked and removed by pushing the fastener 7 and rotating it 90 degrees. The fastener 7 can be mounted inside the console box 6 to lock and unlock the stack lid 9.

Inside the electrical component box 5 thus configured and arranged, various electrical components distributed in various places inside the vehicle, for example, a computer 11, various relays 12, a diagnostic monitor 13, as shown in FIG. The switches 14, fuses 15 and the like can be centrally housed, and therefore, inspection of these electrical components can be easily and centrally performed by simply opening the stack lid 9.

Further, if a part of the upper surface of the electric component box 5 is used as a mount for mounting the control lever 8 of the parking brake, it is not necessary to change the position because the electric component box 5 is arranged.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to intensively arrange the electric components, which are conventionally distributed in various places of the vehicle, adjacent to the driver's seat. As a result, all electrical components can be easily inspected and serviced by simply opening the stacking lid, reducing the man-hours required for work and rationalizing the mounting of various devices around the driver's seat. There is an effect that can be done.
