Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a double cab vehicle having a console box provided with an air-conditioned air outlet for a rear seat at an intermediate portion between a backrest of a driver seat and a backrest of a passenger seat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 6, a cabin 7 (see FIG. 2) of a conventional double cab vehicle 9 has a driver's seat 61 and a passenger's seat 6 as shown in FIG.
A front chamber 71 having a center seat 63 disposed between the front chamber 2 and the rear chamber 72 having a rear seat 64 is provided behind the front chamber 71.
Behind the cabin 7, a loading platform 8 (see FIG. 2)
Are arranged.

In the double cab vehicle 9, a separator 91 for preventing the collapse of the load is laid between a pair of left and right center pillars 73, 73, and the front chamber 71 and the rear chamber 72 are partitioned by the separator 91. ing. The separator 91 is disposed in the proximity of the back of the driver seat 61 and the passenger seat 62 in a close state. In the double cab vehicle 9, the cavity of the separator 91 is also used as a duct for blowing out conditioned air. In addition, the front room 71
An air conditioning unit (not shown) is arranged below the cabin floor surface 761 (see FIG. 2). Also, the space between the air conditioning unit and the separator 91 rises along the header board 763 of the cabin, and the floor surface 76
1 and an air conditioning duct 93 is provided.

In the double cab vehicle 9, when air conditioning the rear seats 64, the air-conditioning unit generates cooled or heated conditioned air, and introduces the air into the cavity of the separator 91 through the air-conditioning duct 93. Then, conditioned air is blown out from a register grill 910 provided in the separator 91 to cool and heat the rear seat 64.

[0005]

However, the conventional double cab vehicle has the following problems. That is, FIG.
As shown in (1), the double cab vehicle 9 also uses the separator 91 as a duct for blowing out conditioned air.
However, since the separator 91 is originally provided for the purpose of preventing collapse of the load, the separator 91 is located behind the backrests of the driver's seat 61 and the passenger's seat 62 as described above.

For this reason, in the separator 91 which is also used as a duct for blowing air-conditioned air, the separator 91 hinders the operation.
There is a problem that it is not possible to recline by tilting each backrest backward. Further, the separator 91 is disposed at a relatively high position on the upper back of the backrest of the driver seat 61 and the passenger seat 62. Therefore, the rear seat 64 has a problem that the separator 91 gives a feeling of oppression to a person sitting on the rear seat 64.

The air-conditioning unit is connected to the front chamber 71.
As shown in FIG. 6, the air-conditioning duct 93 is disposed below the cabin floor surface 761 (see FIG. 2).
Rises along the header board 763, and the floor 7
It must be piped through 61, which takes time. The air conditioning duct 93 is provided on the floor surface 7.
Between 61 and the above-mentioned separator 91, it is exposed, which impairs aesthetic appearance.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and allows the driver's seat and the passenger's seat to be reclined independently, efficiently air-conditions the rear room, and removes an air-conditioning duct. An object of the present invention is to provide a double cab vehicle that can be easily turned around.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a double cab vehicle comprising a front cabin having a driver's seat and a passenger seat, and a rear cabin provided behind the front cabin and having a rear seat. The seat and the passenger seat are arranged so that they can recline independently in the front-rear direction, and an air-conditioning air outlet is provided between the backrest of the driver seat and the backrest of the passenger seat. A console box provided with an air-conditioning unit below the rear seats in the rear compartment, and a space between the console box and the air-conditioning unit on the floor of the cabin. A double cab vehicle is characterized in that an air conditioning duct is provided via a pipe.

The most remarkable point of the present invention is that the console box is provided at an intermediate portion between the backrest of the driver's seat and the backrest of the passenger seat, and the driver's seat and the passenger's seat can recline. It is to be arranged.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. In the double cab vehicle of the present invention, the console box provided with the air-conditioned air outlet is provided at an intermediate portion between the backrest of the driver seat and the backrest of the passenger seat. Therefore, the rear of the backrests of the driver's seat and the passenger seat can be opened, so that the driver's seat and the passenger's seat can be reclined independently by tilting the respective backrests backward.

The console box is disposed at the intermediate portion and at a height below the backrests of the driver seat and the passenger seat. Therefore, the conditioned air can be efficiently sent to the rear room, and the rear room can be air-conditioned effectively.

Further, the width of the console box is made smaller than the width between the driver's seat and the passenger seat, and the arrangement position of the console box is relatively low between the driver's seat and the passenger seat. It is located at the location. Therefore, a relatively large space can be secured for the rear seat. The air conditioning unit is disposed below the rear seat, which is a dead space in the rear room, and the air conditioning duct is piped through a floor of the cabin. for that reason,
The piping of the air conditioning duct can be easily performed.

Next, it is preferable that the air conditioning duct is divided into a plurality of parts. In this case, the air conditioning duct can be further routed and piped easily in a relatively narrow cabin.

Next, as in the third aspect of the present invention, the first duct located at the highest position of the air conditioning duct is previously attached to the register grill serving as the air-conditioned air outlet in the console box. Is preferred. In this case, the connection between the console box and the air conditioning duct can be facilitated.

Next, as in the fourth aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that the console box has a tray portion for storing small items at an upper portion thereof. In this case, small items such as cigarette cases and lighters can be placed on the tray.

Next, it is preferable that the console box has a cup holder capable of holding the cup for holding the cup. In this case, the cup holder can hold a cup of, for example, canned juice, which is convenient for eating and drinking in the rear room.
