[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle with expandable space according to the present invention includes: a door 100, which opens or closes an opening portion S formed on a portion of a surface of the vehicle by rotating a rotating shaft at the lower end, and rotates toward the outside of the vehicle during the opening operation to form a bottom surface connected to the floor F of the vehicle, thereby forming a platform space T connected to the interior space of the vehicle; and a seat 200, which is installed in the interior space of the vehicle to provide a seating space for passengers, and is configured to be able to slide toward the outside of the opening portion S of the vehicle, and also provides a seating space in the platform space T when the platform space T is utilized after the door 100 is opened.

[0044] The present invention is provided with a vehicle door. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle door 100 can close an opening portion S formed on a portion of one surface of the vehicle. The opening portion S can be formed on the front, rear, left or right side of the vehicle. The opening portion S of the vehicle is opened or closed according to the rotation of the vehicle door. On the other hand, the present invention can be applied to a conventional vehicle and can also be applied to a vehicle with an unmanned driving system such as an autonomous driving vehicle. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the doors are arranged on both sides with the forward direction of the vehicle as the reference, but the doors may also be arranged on both sides, the front or the rear of the vehicle. That is, the concept of one surface of the vehicle includes all surfaces of the front, rear, left and right.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2, the door 100 closes an opening S formed on a part of one surface of the vehicle or opens the opening S. The door 100 is rotated toward the outside of the vehicle by a rotating shaft at the lower end to open the opening S of the vehicle. Although the rotating shaft is not shown in the figure, a rotating shaft is provided at the lower end of the door, and the door 100 is rotated by rotating the rotating shaft by a motor or the like. And, when the opening S of the vehicle is opened, the door 100 is rotated toward the inside of the vehicle to close the opening S. In this case, the door 100 constitutes a bottom surface, which is connected to a floor F constituting the ground of the vehicle, thereby forming a platform space T connected to the interior space of the vehicle. Due to the formation of the platform space T, an additional space can be provided, so that the vehicle can provide a rest space or a business space. Therefore, the platform space T is formed at the time of the opening operation of the door 100, so that passengers can carry out activities or rest on the platform space T.

[0046] And, if Figure 2 As shown, a seat 200 is provided in the present invention. The seat 200 is installed in the interior space of the vehicle to provide a seating space for passengers. And, the door 200 is configured to be able to slide in the outward direction toward the opening portion S of the vehicle. In this case, a guide rail or the like may be provided on the floor F, and the seat 200 is provided on the guide rail. And, the seat 200 can slide in the outward direction of the vehicle by the pressing force of the actuator. On the other hand, when the platform space T is utilized after the door 100 is opened, the seat 200 slides toward the platform space side, so that a seat can also be provided in the platform space T. In this case, passengers can sit on the seat 200 in the platform space T, so that a more comfortable environment can be ensured when resting or conducting business activities.

[0047] On the other hand, Figure 5 As shown, the seat 200 of the present invention can be configured to slide toward the open portion S of the vehicle toward the outside and can rotate at the same time. Figure 5 As shown, the seat 200 can be rotated so that the front of the seat 200 faces the outer side of the vehicle, and, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the seat 200 can also be rotated so that the front of the seat 200 faces the inner side of the vehicle. On the other hand, the seat 200 of the present invention can be rotated while sliding, and can also be rotated in a non-sliding state.

[0048] Furthermore, in the present invention, when the vehicle door 100 is opened, the vehicle floor F and the bottom surface of the vehicle door 100 connected to the vehicle floor F can form the same plane. Therefore, no step structure is formed between the vehicle floor F and the bottom surface of the vehicle door 100 connected to the vehicle floor F. Thus, when the seat 200 slides toward the outer side of the vehicle, the seat 200 can move from the vehicle floor F to the vehicle door 100.

[0049] On the other hand, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention may further include a roof 300 having a panel shape, coupled to the upper end of the door 100 to close a portion of the upper portion of the vehicle, and rotated together during the opening operation of the door 100, thereby being located on the side of the platform space T. The roof 300 is coupled to the upper end of the door 100. And, when the door 100 closes the opening portion S of the vehicle, the roof 300 closes a portion of the upper portion of the vehicle, and rotates together during the opening operation of the door 100 to open the opening portion S of the vehicle, thereby opening a portion of the upper portion of the vehicle. And, during the opening operation of the door, the roof 300 rotates together with the door 100, thereby being located on the side of the platform space T. Such a roof 300 may be composed of glass such as smart glass with adjustable transparency, or may be made of a panel made of metal or the like.

[0050] And, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the present invention may further include a support panel 400, which is disposed on the roof 300 and has a panel shape, and rotates through the rotation axis of the rear end portion 440. When the vehicle door is opened, the front end portion 420 rotates toward the top of the vehicle and is separated from the vehicle door, thereby forming a table on the platform space T. The support panel 400 is disposed on the roof 300, and the rear end portion 440 of the support panel 400 is connected to the roof 300. In addition, the front end portion 420 of the support panel 400 is located near the roof 300, and rotates toward the top of the vehicle around the rotation axis of the rear end portion 440 when the vehicle door 100 is opened. Figure 5 The front end portion 420 of the support panel 400 is rotated and spaced apart from the vehicle door 100 , thereby forming a table on the platform space T. Therefore, items can be placed on the table, so that the platform space T can more fully realize the function of a rest space or a business space.

[0051] On the other hand, Figure 4 As shown, the present invention may also include a power supply unit 460, which is arranged on the support panel 400 to supply power to the electronic products. More specifically, the power supply unit 460 is provided with a wireless charging system, and when the electronic products are placed on the support panel 400, power can be supplied by the power supply unit 460. The wireless charging system may be composed of a magnetic resonance device or a magnetic induction device. Therefore, when passengers rest or conduct business activities in the platform space T, the batteries of electronic products and the like are continuously charged, thereby improving the utilization rate of the platform space T and the continuity of the use of the platform space.

[0052] And, if Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the present invention may further include a lower panel 500, which is arranged at the lower part of the floor F of the vehicle and has a panel shape, slides toward the outer side of the vehicle when the door 100 is opened, thereby forming a bottom surface connected to the floor F of the vehicle, and the lower part of the lower panel 500 is supported by the door 100. The lower panel 500 is inserted and arranged at the lower part of the floor F of the vehicle, and slides toward the outer side of the vehicle when the door 100 is opened. When the lower panel 500 slides and protrudes to the outside of the vehicle, it forms a bottom surface connected to the floor F of the vehicle. In addition, the lower part of the lower panel 500 is supported by the door 100, and even if the passenger moves on the lower panel 500, sufficient rigidity can be ensured. Therefore, even if the passenger moves in the platform space T, the glass and the like arranged on the door 100 can be prevented from being contaminated and damaged by the lower panel 500.

[0053] And, if Figure 5 As shown, the present invention may further include a roof 300, which has a panel shape, is coupled to the upper end of the door 100 to close a portion of the upper portion of the vehicle, and rotates together and is located on the side of the platform space T when the door 100 is opened. When the door is opened, the lower panel 500 may slide to the roof 300. As described above, since the lower panel 500 slides to the roof 300, the maximum space for passengers to move in the platform space T is ensured.

[0054] And, if Figure 6 As shown, the present invention may also include a movable panel 600, a guide portion F1 is formed on the floor F of the vehicle, the movable panel 600 is arranged on the guide portion F1, and the seat 200 is installed on the upper surface 620. When the lower panel 500 slides toward the outer side of the vehicle, the movable panel 600 slides along the guide portion F1 toward the outer side of the vehicle, thereby entering the upper part of the lower panel 500.

[0055] The guide portion F1 may be configured as a groove shape recessed on the floor F. Furthermore, the movable panel 600 is disposed on the guide portion F1 so as to be able to slide along the guide portion F1 toward the outer side or the inner side of the vehicle. Therefore, the seat 200 mounted on the upper surface 620 of the movable panel 600 also slides toward the outer side or the inner side of the vehicle. Figure 6 4 seats are provided in the middle, but more than 4 seats may be provided according to the design of the vehicle. When the lower panel 500 slides toward the outer side of the vehicle, the movable panel 600 slides toward the outer side of the vehicle along the guide portion F1 and enters the upper portion of the lower panel 500.

[0056] On the other hand, when the movable panel 600 enters the upper portion of the lower panel 500, the seat 200 mounted on the movable panel 600 moves together toward the outer side of the vehicle, so that Figure 6As shown, a certain distance is ensured between the seat 200 and other seats 201 provided in the same guide portion. Therefore, a sufficient space is formed by sliding the seat 200 toward the outside of the vehicle. Therefore, a more comfortable space is ensured when the passengers have a conversation or a business meeting.

[0057] And, if Figure 5 As shown, the present invention may further include a sun visor 700, which is disposed on one side C of the upper body of the vehicle and is deployed when the door 100 is opened to form a shade in the platform space T. The sun visor 700 is disposed on one side C of the upper body of the vehicle. Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the sun visor 700 is provided at one side of the upper vehicle body connecting the front and rear of the vehicle. Therefore, the sun visor 700 is provided at the upper part of the platform space T when unfolded, thereby forming a shade in the platform space T. Therefore, when the passenger takes a rest or conducts business activities in the platform space T, it is possible to avoid direct sunlight or rain.

[0058] More specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, in the present invention, the sun visor 700 can be deployed obliquely upward from the horizontal position of the vehicle. Accordingly, when the sun visor 700 is deployed, a separate support member such as a connecting rod 720 is provided to support the sun visor 700. This connecting rod is operated by folding or unfolding, and supports the sun visor 700 in the unfolded state when the connecting rod is unfolded. On the other hand, in addition to the connecting rod 720, various modes or structures for supporting the sun visor 700 can also be provided. And, since the sun visor 700 is deployed obliquely upward from the horizontal position of the vehicle, the maximum height at which the passenger can move in the platform space T where the sun visor 700 is provided is increased. Therefore, the maximum movable height of the platform space T is higher than the height of the interior space of the vehicle, thereby reducing the risk of the passenger hitting the head when moving in the platform space T.

[0059] And, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the vehicle with expandable space according to the present invention, when the platform space is formed, after the door is rotated toward the outside of the vehicle and arranged parallel to the floor of the vehicle, the lower panel can slide toward the outside of the vehicle. That is, the door is rotated first to prevent the lower panel from interfering with the door when sliding and causing damage or breakage to each other. And, after the door is arranged parallel to the floor of the vehicle, the lower panel is slid.

[0060] And, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the vehicle with expandable space according to the present invention, when closing the platform space, after the lower panel slides inwardly of the vehicle and is inserted into the lower part of the floor of the vehicle, the door can be rotated inwardly of the vehicle and close the open part of the vehicle. That is, the lower panel slides first to prevent the door from interfering with the lower panel when rotating inwardly of the vehicle and causing damage or breakage to each other. And, after the lower panel is inserted into the lower part of the floor of the vehicle, the door is rotated inwardly of the vehicle.

[0061] According to the vehicle with expandable space of the present invention, the interior space of the vehicle can be expanded by expanding a part of the vehicle body toward the outside.

[0062] In particular, since an additional space is secured, a rest space or a work space can be secured even in the wild.

[0063] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the technical concept of the present invention as provided by the claims.
