Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a luggage device for a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] An ultra-compact mobility tool relates to a three-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicle having a size more compact than a compact vehicle, and is almost a two-seater vehicle. In recent years, interest in the ultra-compact mobility tool has grown, and there are several reasons why this can be the case.

[0003] First, in recent years, as the population of the elderly increases, it has become an urgent task to provide a safe means of transport for the elderly. In addition, as the number of single-person households steadily increases, single-person households tend to prefer compact vehicles compared to four-seater or more vehicles. Even in terms of the environment, for example, low emissions of carbon and the use of environmentally friendly energy, the demand for environmentally friendly vehicles is increasing. Since the ultra-compact mobility tool can meet all of these demands, the related market tends to continue to grow.

[0004] The ultra-compact mobility tool is itself small, so that the vehicle lacks space to transport a load. Therefore, several methods for providing a loading space have been designed. For example, the ultra-compact mobility tool is configured to mount a load on the top of the vehicle or to mount an additional luggage box on the rear of the vehicle.

[0005] There is still a need for a device that can effectively expand the loading space compared to these methods.

[0006] The above description is merely intended to aid in understanding the background of the present invention, and is not intended to represent the related art to which the present invention belongs.

[0054] Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] As Figure 1 shown, the luggage device for a vehicle according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a container 100 and a driving mechanism 200.

[0056] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the inside of the container 100 has an empty space for accommodating goods or the like. In Figure 2 and Figure 3In the meantime, although it has been shown that the container 100 has the shape of a rectangular box, the container 100 is not limited thereto and can also have other shapes.

[0057] The size of one side of the container 100 can be similar to or substantially the same as the size of one side of the vehicle on which the tailgate is installed. On the side of the container 100 to be installed is the first mounting portion 120. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the container 100 includes the door 110, the first mounting portion 120, and the second mounting portion 130. In addition, the container 100 can further include the side portion 140 and the bottom portion 150.

[0058] The door 110 is disposed at one side of the container 100. In addition, the door 110 can be opened to access the empty space inside the container 100 through the door 110. The method of opening or closing the door 110 is not particularly limited. As a non-limiting example, the door can be opened by being connected with a hinge of the container 100, or can be slidably opened.

[0059] The first mounting portion 120 is disposed in the container 100 to face the door 110. As described above, the size of the first mounting portion 120 can be set to correspond to the opening of the tailgate or the mounting object 10 to which the luggage device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is to be installed.

[0060] The first mounting portion 120 can be opened. That is, the empty space inside the container 100 can be accessed through the first mounting portion 120. When both the door 110 and the first mounting portion 120 are opened, the outside of the container 100 can be communicated through the door 110, the empty space inside the container 100, and the first mounting portion 120.

[0061] The first mounting portion 120 can be rollable, similar to a reel. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first mounting portion 120 made of a flexible material can be wound around or unwound from a roller unit 460 to be described later, so that the side of the container 100 on which the first mounting portion 120 is disposed can be opened or closed.

[0062] As Figure 4A shown, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a protrusion 122 having a different thickness from the other portions of the first mounting portion 120 is arranged on both sides of the first mounting portion 120. The protrusion 122 can be engaged with a coupling portion 142 of a recess in the side portion 140. The protrusion 122 serves to guide the first mounting portion 120 when the first mounting portion 120 is moved.

[0063] The second mounting portion 130 connects the door 110 to the first mounting portion 120. In particular, the second mounting portion 130 can be a side of the container 100 that horizontally connects the door 110 to the first mounting portion 120. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the area of the second mounting portion 130 is smaller than the area of the first mounting portion 120.

[0064] The second mounting portion 130 can be opened. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the second mounting portion 130 can be opened or closed by sliding. When the second mounting portion 130 is opened, the empty space inside the container 100 can be accessed through the second mounting portion 130. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the second mounting portion 130 can be opened or closed by the operation of one or more operation motors 160 described later.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4B The second mounting portion 130 includes one or more ridges 132 protruding from the surface of the second mounting portion 130. The ridges 132 protrude from the outer surface of the second mounting portion 130, and can be provided on both sides of the second mounting portion 130. The ridges 132 serve to guide the movement of the second mounting portion 130 when the second mounting portion 130 moves along the rails 300 to open or close the second mounting portion 130. This will be described later.

[0066] The side portions 140 and the bottom portion 150 are provided to enclose the container 100 together with the door 110, the first mounting portion 120, and the second mounting portion 130. The side portions 140 and the bottom portion 150 are the sides of the container 100 that are fixed in the container 100. The side portions 140 and the bottom portion 150 support the door 110, the first mounting portion 120, and the second mounting portion 130 to be movable with respect to the container 100. The bottom portion 150 faces the second mounting portion 130, and the side portions 140 enclose both sides of the container 100 defined by the first mounting portion 120, the second mounting portion 130, the door 110, and the bottom portion 150. The first mounting portion 120, the second mounting portion 130, the door 110, and the bottom portion 150 create a pair of open faces in the container 100, and thus the side portions 140 can include a first side portion 140a and a second side portion 140b. The first side portion 140a and the second side portion 140b are provided to substantially face each other. The two components are identical components in the present specification, and will be described as the first side portion 140a and the second side portion 140b only for convenience of explanation.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 5A and Figure 5BAs shown, the operation motor 160 is mounted on the side portion 140, and more particularly, positioned on the side portion 140 near the intersection of the door 110 and the second mounting portion 130. When the operation motor 160 is driven, the second mounting portion 130 is mounted to be relatively movable with respect to the drive motor 440. Preferably, the operation motor 160 is mounted on each of the first side portion 140a and the second side portion 140b. That is, one operation motor 160 is provided on the first side portion 140a, and the other operation motor 160 is provided on the second side portion 140b.

[0068] The drive mechanism 200 serves to connect the container 100 to the mounting object 10, and to switch the mounting direction of the container 100 with respect to the mounting object 10. Here, the mounting object 10 is a target on which the luggage device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is mounted, and can include a tailgate opening of a vehicle, etc. As shown, Figure 6 As shown, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the drive mechanism 200 includes one or more rails 300 and a link assembly 400.

[0069] Referring to Figure 7A , the rail 300, together with the link assembly 400, mounts the container 100 to the vehicle, and allows the mounting direction of the container 100 to be switched. The rail 300 is positioned on a wall of the mounting object 10, etc., and is connected to the link assembly 400 so that the link assembly 400 is movable on the rail 300. As shown, Figure 7B As shown, the rail 300 includes an insertion groove 310 and a guide groove 320.

[0070] The insertion groove 310 is open along a longitudinal direction of the rail 300 so that an inner side of the rail 300 is accessible. The insertion groove 310 is open toward an outer side of the mounting object 10 and faces the first mounting portion 120.

[0071] The guide groove 320 is open along a longitudinal direction of the rail 300 on one side of the rail 300. The guide groove 320 is open toward a direction substantially perpendicular to the insertion groove 310, and is open toward a wall of the mounting object 10.

[0072] A gap S having a predetermined length is arranged between the rail 300 and the mounting object 10, which is provided to prevent interference between the link assembly 400 and the mounting object 10 when the link assembly 400 is moved.

[0073] The rail 300 can have a recess 330 recessed from a surface of the rail 300. The recess 330 is positioned on one side of the rail 300, facing the first mounting portion 120 or the second mounting portion 130, and the recess 330 is parallel to the insertion groove 310. The recess 330 can engage with the ridge portion 132 of the second mounting portion 130 to guide movement of the second mounting portion 130.

[0074] As shown in Figure 8A and Figure 8B The link assembly 400 can be separated from the rail 300 and slidably moved along the rail 300. The link assembly 400 can be installed on the side portion 140 and near a position where the first mounting portion 120 and the second mounting portion 130 intersect.

[0075] As shown in Figures 9A to 9C The link assembly 400 can include a bottom plate 410, a guide pin 420, a rotation gear 430, a driving motor 440, a main gear 450, and a roller gear 462.

[0076] The bottom plate 410 is coupled to the container 100 and serves as a base that connects the container 100 to the mounting object 10. Also, the bottom plate 410 supports the guide pin 420 and the rotation gear 430.

[0077] The guide pin 420 is coupled at one side of the bottom plate 410. The guide pin 420 can be inserted into the guide groove 320 of the rail 300 and guide the movement of the link assembly 400 on the rail 300.

[0078] The rotation gear 430 is rotatably installed at the other side of the bottom plate 410. The rotation gear 430 is configured to contact the rail 300 and roll along the rail 300, thereby facilitating the movement of the container 100 on the rail 300.

[0079] The pin member 432 is coupled to the side portion 140 and penetratively installed to the bottom plate 410 and the rotation gear 430. The rotation gear 430 is rotatable in the bottom plate 410 by the pin member 432.

[0080] The driving motor 440 is disposed on the inner side of the container 100, more particularly, on the inner side of the side portion 140. The driving motor 440 enables the relative position change of the container 100, the change of the mounting direction of the container 100, and the separation and attachment of the container 100. That is, the driving motor 440 provides a driving force when the mounting direction of the container 100 is changed and the first mounting portion 120 is opened or closed.

[0081] The main gear 450 is rotatably installed at the side portion 140. The main gear 450 can be rotated by the operation of the driving motor 440. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the main gear 450 is installed to penetrate the side portion 140 such that a portion of the main gear 450 is disposed inside the container 100 and another portion of the main gear 450 is disposed outside the container 100. The main gear 450 can receive a rotational force from the driving motor 440 inside the container 100 and transmit the rotational force to the rotation gear 430 in contact with the main gear 450 outside the container 100. That is, the rotational force of the driving motor 440 can be transmitted to the main gear 450, and the main gear 450 can allow the rotation gear 430 to rotate in engagement with the main gear 450. The main gear 450 serves to transmit power from the driving motor 440 to switch the installation direction of the container 100.

[0082] Further, the main gear 450 is disposed in contact with the roller unit 460. The roller unit 460 includes a pair of roller gears 462 and a rod 464. As shown, the rod 464 penetrates the side portion 140, and the roller gears 462 are disposed at both ends of the rod 464. Each of the roller gears 462 is configured to be rotatable by the rotation of the main gear 450 at the first side portion 140a and the second side portion 140b. As a result, the roller unit 460 can be rotated together with the rotation of the main gear 450. Figure 10

[0083] The first installation portion 120 can be wound around the roller unit 460. More specifically, the first installation portion 120 can be wound around the rod 464. By the rotation of the main gear 450, the wound first installation portion 120 can be unwound from the rod 464, and by the rotation of the main gear 450, the unwound first installation portion 120 can be wound around the rod 464.

[0084] Further, the roller unit 460 can further include a roller housing 466 for protecting the wound first installation portion 120.

[0085] The luggage device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can further include a rolling member 500. The rolling member 500 is installed on the container 100 to support the weight of the container 100. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the rolling member 500 is disposed at each of the first side portion 140a and the second side portion 140b and is installed on the lower side of the first side portion 140a and the second side portion 140b. The rolling members 500 can be connected to each other by a connection shaft 510, and the connection shaft 510 can be installed to be rotatable together with the rolling members 500.

[0086] Referring to Figures 11A to 11C ​The luggage device according to embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a belt member 600 connecting each of the pair of rolling members 500 to each rolling gear 462. One side of the belt member 600 is attached to the rolling gear 462, and the other side of the belt member 600 is attached to a connecting shaft 510 of the rolling member 500. Thus, the rotational force of the rolling gear 462 is transmitted to the connecting shaft 510 of the rolling member 500.

[0087] like Figure 12A and Figure 12B As shown, the luggage device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a latch 700. The latch 700 provides additional securing force when the first mounting portion 120 is coupled to the mounting object 10. The latch 700 may be formed on the bottom 150 and fixed to a striker 12 disposed on the mounting object 10.

[0088] The operation and effects of the luggage device according to embodiments of this disclosure will now be described.

[0089] The luggage device according to embodiments of this disclosure provides a vertically extended type in which a first mounting portion 120 is attached to one side of a mounting object 10, and a horizontally extended type in which a second mounting portion 130 is attached to one side of a mounting object 10. In particular, the former can expand the loading space of the mounting object 10, making it possible to load luggage with large volume, while the latter is effective when loading long loads.

[0090] Reference Figures 13A to 13D Describes the vertical extension type on one side of the first mounting part 120.

[0091] To make the container 100 and the interior space of the installation object 10 or vehicle V interconnect, first remove the tailgate T of vehicle V (see...). Figure 13A and Figure 13B ).

[0092] Subsequently, the connecting rod assembly 400 is installed on the rail 300 mounted in the vehicle V. Specifically, the connecting rod assembly 400 is inserted into the insertion recess 310 such that the guide pin 420 engages with the guide recess 320. After the latch 700 provided on the bottom 150 is coupled to the striker 12 of the vehicle V to provide additional holding force, the installation is complete (see [link to installation details]). Figure 13C and Figure 13D ).

[0093] The load can be placed in container 100 by opening door 110 (see Figure 13E In other words, the vertically extended type can provide additional space corresponding to the volume of container 100, thereby facilitating the transport of loads with considerable height or volume.

[0094] refer toFigure 14 According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case of the vertical expansion type, when the container 100 is mounted on the vehicle V, the first mounting portion 120 is maintained in the open state to provide a wider space. In other words, if the first mounting portion 120 is mounted on one side of the vehicle V, the first mounting portion 120 is wound around the roller unit 460 to maintain the open state.

[0095] However, as Figure 15 indicated, if it is necessary to separate the space inside the container 100 from the space inside the vehicle V, the first mounting portion 120 can also be in the closed state.

[0096] The horizontal expansion type in which the second mounting portion 130 is mounted on one side of the vehicle V will be described with reference to Figures 16A to 16E .

[0097] As in the first mounting portion 120, the link assembly 400 is mounted on the rail 300 mounted in the vehicle V. This movement is guided by the guide pin 420 mounted on the guide groove 320, and the sliding movement of the container 100 is easily configured by the rotation gear 430 rotated by the driving motor 440 (see Figure 16A ).

[0098] Since the area of the second mounting portion 130 is smaller than that of the first mounting portion 120, when the second mounting portion 130 is mounted, the inside of the vehicle V is communicated with the outside (see Figure 16B ). Therefore, in order to close this opening, the second mounting portion 130 is moved upward in the height direction of the vehicle to close the opening (see Figure 16C and Figure 16D ).

[0099] The load can be loaded or unloaded by opening the door 110 (see Figure 16E ). In this way, more space corresponding to the length of the first mounting portion 120 is added to the vehicle, which is effective for carrying a long load.

[0100] The operation process in which the second mounting portion 130 moves upward in the height direction of the vehicle V as indicated in Figure 17A and Figure 17B will be described with reference to Figures 16B to 16E .

[0101] When the operation motor 160 is driven in the arrow direction indicated by R in Figure 17A , the second mounting portion 130 moves upward along the rail 300. In addition, the second mounting portion 130 includes a ridge portion 132 engaged with the recess 330 in the rail 300 to guide the movement of the second mounting portion 130.

[0102] On the contrary, in the case of moving the second mounting portion 130 downward, when the operation motor 160 is driven in the direction opposite to the arrow direction indicated by R shown in FIG. 9, the second mounting portion 130 is returned to the side of the container 100 by moving downward along the rail 300. Figure 17A

[0103] Further, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first mounting portion 120 is configured to be opened or closed when switching from the vertical expansion type to the horizontal expansion type or switching from the horizontal expansion type to the vertical expansion type.

[0104] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 8, as an exemplary embodiment, when switching from the vertical expansion type to the horizontal expansion type, the first mounting portion 120 needs to be unwound from the roller unit 460. This can be achieved by driving the motor 440. That is, when the motor 440 rotates the main gear 450 clockwise, the roller gear 462 engaged in rotation with the main gear 450 is rotated counterclockwise. Then, by the rotation of the rod 464 connected to the roller gear 462, the first mounting portion 120 is unwound from the rod 464 in the arrow direction shown in FIG. 9. Further, at this time, the rotating gear 430 is also rotated counterclockwise by the rotation of the main gear 450 and guided by the guide pin 420, and the link assembly 400 moves downward along the rail 300. Figure 18 Figure 18 Further, in order to prevent the unwound first mounting portion 120 from being separated, the movement of the protrusions 122 provided on both sides of the first mounting portion 120 is guided by the coupling portions 142 formed on the side portion 140.

[0105] Further, in order to prevent the unwound first mounting portion 120 from being separated, the movement of the protrusions 122 provided on both sides of the first mounting portion 120 is guided by the coupling portions 142 formed on the side portion 140. Figure 19A Figure 19B The side portion 140 is shown when the first mounting portion 120 is wound around the roller unit 460, and Figure 20A Figure 20B The case in which the first mounting portion 120 is unwound to close the container 100 is shown.

[0106] The case in which the first mounting portion 120 is unwound to close the container 100 is shown.

[0107] ​​​​Further, the belt member 600 connects the roller gear 462 to the connection shaft 510 of the rolling member 500, thereby enabling angular adjustment of the rolling member 500 according to the angular movement of the container 100. That is, the power of the driving motor 440 is transmitted to the connection shaft 510 of the rolling member 500 through the roller gear 462, so that the rolling member 500 is always fixed to the same position according to the angular change of the horizontal direction of the container 100 (see Figures 21A to 21C ).

[0108] Unlike the prior art of simply installing a luggage case at the rear of a vehicle, the embodiments of the present disclosure can install a luggage device on the tailgate side of a vehicle to connect the interior space of the vehicle to the space of the luggage device, thereby providing an expanded space.

[0109] Further, according to the length or volume of luggage, it can be easily changed in the installation direction of the luggage device, thereby having great practicality.

[0110] Further, since the luggage device can be operated by external power (e.g., the driving motor 440), it has the advantage of being very convenient to use.

[0111] It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments and drawings, and those skilled in the art can design various alternatives, modifications, and changes without departing from the technical spirit of the present disclosure.
