Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an interior component of a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] In an interior component of a vehicle, a front surface of a base member is covered with a skin member. Conventionally, techniques related to a method of forming a skin member or a method of holding a skin member on a base member have been proposed to improve the design quality of the interior component or to more firmly weld the base member and the skin member.
[0003] For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2017-114261 discloses an internal component, which includes: a base member including a main body, a flange portion, and a support rib; and a skin body, which covers the base member and is fixed to the base member. In the internal component, the terminal portion of the skin body wrapped around the flange portion is pushed along a guide portion protruding toward the inside of the flange portion, so that the terminal portion is sandwiched between the support rib and the flange portion while being guided by the guide portion. Thus, the terminal portion of the skin body can be easily and firmly held on the base member. Summary of the invention
[0004] In the prior art, at the terminal portion of the interior component of the vehicle, the skin member is folded and inserted under the rear surface of the base member. In this case, in the case where the terminal of the base member has an acute angle shape, tearing or whitening sometimes occurs at the portion of the skin member that contacts the terminal of the base member. Therefore, as the shape of the terminal, a rounded corner with a large corner radius (i.e., an obtuse shape in which the curve of the corner is large) is adopted instead of the acute angle shape. However, from a design point of view, it is occasionally desired that the terminal of the interior component adopts a more acute angle shape.
[0005] Therefore, the present specification provides a vehicle interior component that allows tearing and whitening of a skin member not to occur at a tip portion of a skin member covering a base member even when the tip of the base member has an acute angle shape.
[0006] The interior component of a vehicle disclosed in the present specification includes: a base member; and a skin member that covers at least a portion of the base member, wherein a rib is provided on a rear surface of a terminal end of the base member, and the terminal end portion of the skin member is wrapped to the rear surface of the base member and welded to the base member to contain the rib.
[0007] In the above configuration, even when the end of the base member has an acute angle shape, the end portion of the skin member is wrapped to the rear surface of the base member and welded to the rib, so the end portion of the skin member does not need to be folded. Thus, tearing and whitening can be prevented from occurring at the portion of the skin member that contacts the end of the base member.
[0008] Furthermore, in the interior component of the vehicle, the side wall of the rib may be arranged at a position away from the periphery of the distal end of the base member.
[0009] Furthermore, in the interior component for a vehicle, the base member may have a tapered shape toward a distal end, and the rib may be arranged substantially at a center in a direction orthogonal to a direction toward a distal end of the tapered shape.
[0010] In the above configuration, the design line of the internal component can be made to appear, and the tip portion of the skin member wrapped to the rear surface of the base member can be prevented from appearing on the design surface.
[0011] The interior component of a vehicle disclosed in the present specification allows the tip of a base member to have an acute angle shape, and allows tearing and whitening of the skin member not to occur at the tip portion of the skin member covering the base member.

[0017] The interior components of the vehicle will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, "Fr", "Up" and "Rh" indicate the vehicle forward direction, the vehicle upward direction and the vehicle right direction, respectively.
[0018] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the interior of a vehicle in which interior components are disposed. Figure 1As shown, the air conditioner outlet 12 is disposed at the right end of the instrument panel of the vehicle 10 in the vehicle width direction. In addition, the interior component 14 is disposed directly below the air conditioner outlet 12. More specifically, the interior component 14 of the vehicle 10 is positioned on the back side of the air conditioner outlet 12, and the end surface on the outside in the vehicle width direction is disposed at a position facing the vehicle body side portion 16 constituted by the door, the front pillar, etc. Figure 1 In FIG. 1 , the inner component 14 is shown surrounded by a dotted line.
[0019] In the embodiment, the "base member" in the claims is the main body of the interior component 14. However, the interior components of the vehicle disclosed in this specification are not limited thereto. In the embodiment, as an example of the base member, the following is exemplified. Figure 1 The base member is shown as a member disposed directly below the outlet of the air conditioner. However, for example, the base member may be another decorative member on the instrument panel, or may be a cover of the console. That is, the base member in the claims may be applied to various interior components in the vehicle.
[0020] Next, we will use Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner component 14 is further described. Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of the interior components of a vehicle viewed from the lower side of the vehicle. Figure 3 is a schematic perspective view showing the rear surface of the interior components of the vehicle. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the interior component 14 of the vehicle 10 includes a base member 18 and a skin member 20. In this embodiment, the base member 18 is a member disposed directly below the outlet 12 of the air conditioner. The skin member 20 is a member that covers at least a portion of the base member 18. The materials of the base member 18 and the skin member 20 are not particularly limited, and only need to allow the skin member 20 to be welded to the front surface of the base member 18. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the reference numeral of the base member 18 is shown in parentheses because the base member 18 is covered by the skin member 20. In addition, the skin member 20 is shown as a light gray portion.
[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rib 22 is provided on the rear surface of the distal end of the base member 18. In this embodiment, the rib 22 is formed integrally with the base member 18. The rib 22 is a reinforcing member extending perpendicularly to the front surface (ie, the design surface) of the base member 18. Figures 2 to 4 In FIG. 1 , the rib 22 is shown as a dark grey portion.
[0022] like Figure 2As shown, in the interior component of the vehicle disclosed in this specification, an acute angle shape is realized at the end of the base member 18 covered with the skin member 20. Figure 2 In FIG. 1 , the extended lines of two adjacent sides on the outline of the base member 18 are shown by dotted lines. That is, Figure 2 The dotted lines shown in show that the angle at which the dotted lines intersect is an acute angle, in other words, the distal end of the base member 18 has an acute angle shape.
[0023] When the end of the base member 18 has an acute angle shape as described above, the rib 22 is necessary to weld the skin member 20 to the front surface of the base member 18. In this embodiment, the rib 22 extends toward the acute angle end. Figure 4 To further describe this configuration.
[0024] Figure 4 is a diagram showing the method of welding the skin member to the rib. Figure 4 , the rear surface of the base member 18 is shown. Figure 4 , the overlapping width portion located at the end portion of the skin member 20 and welded to the rear surface of the base member 18 is shown as the welding width 20a, 20b. In addition, the skin member 20 and the welding width 20a, 20b as a part of the skin member 20 are shown in light gray, and are further surrounded by a double-dashed line for distinguishing the boundary with other members. The welding width 20b is shown in a lighter color than the welding width 20a.
[0025] Conventionally, in the interior parts of the vehicle, in order to ensure the design quality, the front surface of the base member is covered with a skin member, and the end of the skin member is wrapped to the rear surface side of the base member. In the present embodiment, the front surface of the base member 18 is covered with a skin member 20, and the end of the skin member 20 is wrapped to the rear surface of the base member 18. In addition, the end of the skin member 20 wrapped to the rear surface is welded to the base member 18, thereby including the rib 22. Figure 4 The welding process is shown in sequence starting from the top.
[0026] Figure 4 The uppermost figure in FIG. 1 is a figure showing a state where the skin member 20 is coupled to the base member 18 (ie, a state where the skin member 20 covers the front surface of the base member 18). This figure shows a state before the welding widths 20a, 20b are wrapped to the rear surface of the base member 18. Figure 4 The second figure from the top in FIG. 1 is a figure showing a state where the welding width 20 a is wrapped to the rear surface of the base member 18 and welded. Figure 4The third figure from the top is a figure showing a state in which the welding width 20b is wrapped to the rear surface of the base member 18 and welded. It can be seen from the figure that the end of the skin member 20 is excessive near the distal end of the base member 18. That is, the welding widths 20a, 20b have excess skin portions. In the case where the ribs 22 are not provided on the base member 18, the excess skin portions at the ends of the skin member 20 are folded and inserted under the rear surface of the base member 18. However, in this case, sometimes an additional space for inserting the excess skin portions is required on the rear surface of the base member 18. In addition, in the case where the distal end of the base member 18 has a tapered shape as in the case of the present embodiment, that is, in the case where the end has an acute angle shape, when the excess skin portion at the end of the skin member 20 is folded, force acts on the skin member 20, so that tearing and whitening sometimes occur. However, in the present embodiment, the ribs 22 are provided on the base member 18. Therefore, as Figure 4 As shown by the two black arrows in the third figure from the top, the excess skin portion can be welded to the base member 18, thereby containing the ribs 22 without being folded. Next, Figure 4 The bottom figure is a diagram showing a state where the skin member 20 is welded to the base member 18 to include the rib 22. As can be seen from this figure, the excess skin portion at the end of the skin member 20 is wrapped around the rib 22 and welded to the front surface, side surface, etc. of the rib 22.
[0027] As described above, although the tip of the base member 18 has an acute angle shape, the tip portion of the skin member 20 is wrapped to the rear surface of the base member and welded to the rib 22. In other words, the skin at the tip portion of the skin member 20 can be inserted along the rib 22. Therefore, there is no need to fold the tip portion of the skin member 20. Thus, tearing and whitening can be prevented from occurring at the portion of the skin member 20 that contacts the tip of the base member 18.
[0028] In addition, if Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the rib 22 is arranged at a position away from the periphery of the end of the base member 18. The base member 18 has a tapered shape toward the end, and the rib 22 is generally arranged at the center in a direction orthogonal to the direction toward the distal end of the tapered shape. For example, in the case where the rib 22 is along one side of the base member 18 (i.e., in the case of a shape extending from the side surface of the base member 18), the skin portion of the skin member 20 after the end processing is sometimes seen from the gap between the components. However, from a design point of view, it is necessary to avoid seeing the excess part of the skin member 20 wrapped to the rear surface of the base member 18 from the design surface. Therefore, the side wall of the rib 22 is arranged at a position away from the periphery of the end of the base member 18 (for example, as Figure 4As shown, it is generally located in the center between two adjacent edges on the outline of the base member 18).
[0029] The above description is an example. The interior component of the vehicle disclosed in this specification only needs to have a configuration in which the end portion of the skin member is wrapped to the rear surface of the base member and welded to the base member so as to include ribs. Therefore, other configurations of the interior component of the vehicle can be changed as appropriate.
[0030] For example, in the embodiment, the shape of the rib 22 is shown as a triangle, but is not limited thereto. The rib 22 only needs to allow the excess portion at the end of the skin member 20 to be wrapped. That is, the rib 22 only needs to have an area that allows the excess skin at the end of the skin member 20 to be welded, so the shape of the rib 22 is not particularly limited. Therefore, instead of a triangle, the shape of the rib 22 can be, for example, a rectangular strip shape having a major axis and a minor axis in cross section.
