Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present utility model relates to a multi-stage open type vehicle storage box. BACKGROUND

[0002] Various storage boxes for containing various articles are installed in the interior of a vehicle.

[0003] For example, as shown in Figure 1 , a storage box is installed in an openable and closable manner in a door 100 of a vehicle, and various articles can be contained in the storage box.

[0004] The storage box includes a case 120 installed in a door trim 110 of the door 100 and a cover 130 that opens and closes a front surface of the case 120. The case 120 contains articles, and the cover 130 opens and closes the front surface of the case 120. The cover 130 is installed in a manner that is openable only by a predetermined angle a with respect to the case 120. As shown in Figure 2 , the cover 130 is hingedly connected to the case 120. The case 120 is opened and closed by rotation of the cover 130. The cover 130 is installed in a manner that over-opens the case 120. A groove 121 is formed in the case 120. A stopper 160 is installed at one side of the cover 130 such that the stopper 60 moves inside the groove 121 and limits the opening angle a of the cover 130.

[0005] This structure prevents over-opening of the cover 130. The advantage is that over-opening of the cover 130 does not occur to cause inconvenience to a passenger. That is, over-opening of the cover 130 can cause interference with the passenger's body, thereby causing inconvenience to the passenger. When the cover 130 is opened, the limitation on the opening angle a of the cover 130 can prevent interference of the cover 130 with the passenger's body.

[0006] However, since the opening angle a of the cover 130 is limited, it is not possible to contain articles of a large volume. In order for the case 120 to contain articles of a large volume, the cover 130 must be fully opened. However, the limitation on the opening angle a prevents articles of a large volume from being contained in the case 120.

[0007] In addition, in order to clean the interior of the storage box, the cover 130 must be fully opened in order to facilitate insertion of a cleaning tool or the like into the storage box. Since the cover 130 is not fully opened, it is not easy to clean the interior of the storage box. Since the interior of the storage box is not properly cleaned, there is a problem in that foreign matter accumulates without being discharged. SUMMARY

[0045] A multi-stage open-type vehicle storage according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] The multi-stage open-type vehicle storage according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing 20, an inner cover 30, and a control lever 60. Accommodation units 21 and 22 are formed in the housing 20, each of which can accommodate articles, and the housing 20 is installed in the interior of a vehicle. The inner cover 30 is rotatably installed in the housing 20 and opens and closes the front surface of the housing 20. The control lever 60 is rotatably installed on the side surface of the inner cover 30. In the multi-stage open-type vehicle storage, a guide groove 24 that guides the movement of the control lever 60 is formed in the housing 20. In addition, the guide groove 24 is composed of a plurality of sections 24a and 24b that are respectively formed as a portion of a circle having different radii and are centered on the rotational center of the inner cover 30. Furthermore, the sections 24a and 24b are connected to each other.

[0047] The housing 20 is installed in the interior of a vehicle and articles can be accommodated in the housing 20. For example, the housing 20 can be installed in a door 1 of a vehicle. One or all of the peripheral portions of the housing 20 are fixedly installed in a door trim 10 provided on the door 1. Accordingly, a passenger of the vehicle can accommodate articles in the interior of the door 1.

[0048] At least one of the accommodation units 21 and 22 that can accommodate articles is formed in the interior of the housing 20. The front surface and the upper surface thereof are open to load and unload articles, and both side surfaces and the bottom surface thereof are closed, thereby forming the accommodation units 21 and 22. The space in the interior of the housing 20 is partitioned, thereby forming a plurality of accommodation units, for example, a first accommodation unit 21 and a second accommodation unit 22.

[0049] In Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the accommodation units 21 and 22 are composed of a first accommodation unit 21 and a second accommodation unit 22. The second accommodation unit 22 is formed to have a greater depth than the first accommodation unit 21, thereby enabling accommodation of articles having a greater height.

[0050] A guide groove 24 that guides the movement of the control lever 60 described below is formed in the side surface of the housing 20.

[0051] The inner cover 30 opens and closes the front surface of the housing 20 facing the inside of the vehicle. The inner cover 30 is rotatably mounted on the housing 20. Therefore, the front surface of the housing 20 is closed or opened by the rotation of the inner cover 30, so that the articles are loaded into or unloaded from the accommodation units 21 or 22.

[0052] The inner cover 30 is formed in a curved manner so that both side surfaces thereof overlap the inner surfaces of the housing 20, respectively, so that the inner cover 30 is accommodated in the housing 20. The inner cover 30 is formed so that lower end portions of both side surfaces of the inner cover 30 are hinge-connected to the housing 20, respectively, so as to open and close the housing 20. A through hole 31 is formed in the lower end portion of the inner cover 30. The hinge pin 27 is mounted in a manner of passing through the through hole 31 and the housing 20. Therefore, the inner cover 30 is rotatably mounted in the housing 20.

[0053] Further, a torsion spring 35 is mounted on the hinge pin 27. Both end portions of the torsion spring 35 are fixed to the housing 20 and the inner cover 30, respectively. The torsion spring 35 elastically supports the inner cover 30 in the opening direction.

[0054] The inner cover 30 is combined with the oil damper 28 mounted on the housing 20. Therefore, when the inner cover 30 is opened, the opening speed of the inner cover 30 is controlled so as to slowly open the inner cover 30.

[0055] A reinforcing bracket 37 for reinforcing the rigidity of the inner cover 30 is fastened to the lower portion of the inner cover 30. The reinforcing bracket 37 is formed in a shape of surrounding the lower portion of the inner cover 30. Since the reinforcing bracket 37 is fastened to the lower portion of the inner cover 30, the rigidity of the inner cover 30 is reinforced.

[0056] A cover plate 50 is fastened to the front surface of the inner cover 30. A locking unit is located between the cover plate 50 and the inner cover 30, and is mounted on the housing 20. The locking unit keeps the inner cover 30 closed.

[0057] The locking unit includes a pair of levers 42, a guide 41, a pinion 43, and a button 44. The pair of levers 42 is mounted between the inner cover 30 and the cover plate 50 in a slidable manner in the width direction of the inner cover 30. The guide 41 guides the sliding of the levers 42, respectively. The pinion 43 simultaneously operates the pair of levers 42. The button 44 is operated by the passenger.

[0058] The guide 41 is mounted on the front surface of the inner cover 30, and the levers 42 are mounted inside the guide 41.

[0059] The levers 42 are provided in pairs and are installed between the inner cover 30 and the cover plate 50 in a slidable manner in the width direction of the inner cover 30. The levers 42 are restricted by the guide 41 so as to slide in the width direction of the inner cover 30. When one end portion of the levers 42 is inserted into the locking groove 23 formed in the case 20, the inner cover 30 can be maintained closed. When one end portion of the levers 42 is separated from the locking groove 23, the inner cover 30 can be opened. One end portion of one lever 42 and one end portion of the other lever 42 protrude toward both lateral end portions of the inner cover 30, respectively. Accordingly, both lateral end portions of the inner cover 30 are fixed to the case 20.

[0060] The other end portion of the lever 42 is elastically supported by a return spring 42b. One end portion of the lever 42 protrudes from the inner cover 30 and is inserted into the locking groove 23.

[0061] The pinion 43 simultaneously operates the pair of levers 42. That is, a rack portion 42a is formed on each of the levers 42 and engages with the pinion 43. Accordingly, when one of the pair of levers 42 slides, the other lever 42 also slides. The pair of levers 42 simultaneously slide toward the inside or outside of the inner cover 30.

[0062] The button 44 is installed on one side of the case 20. The inner cover 30 encloses the case 20, the end portion of the lever 42 is inserted into the locking groove 23, thereby locking the inner cover 30. The button 44 enables the state in which the inner cover 30 is locked to be changed to a state in which the inner cover 30 is openable. The button 44 includes a housing 44a, a pressing portion 44b, and an operating portion 44c. The housing 44a is fixed to the case 20. The pressing portion 44b is installed on the housing 44a and is pressed by a passenger. The operating portion 44c is in inclined contact with the pressing portion 44b and causes the end portion of the lever 42 to slide toward the inside of the inner cover 30.

[0063] Each inclined surface of the pressing portion 44b and the operating portion 44c is in contact with each other. Accordingly, when the pressing portion 44b is pressed, the operating portion 44c operates in a direction perpendicular to the operating direction of the pressing portion 44b, that is, in the width direction of the inner cover 30. Accordingly, the end portion of the lever 42 is pressed toward the inside of the inner cover 30 and one end portion of the lever 42 is separated from the locking groove 23. Accordingly, the inner cover 30 can be rotated with respect to the case 20.

[0064] The skin 51, which is a decorative material, is attached on the front surface of the cover plate 50. When the inner cover 30 encloses the case 20, the skin 51 forms the appearance of the vehicle storage compartment according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0065] The control lever 60 is rotatably installed on the side surface of the inner cover 30. Also, one side of the control lever 60 is inserted into the guide groove 24, and the inner cover 30 is opened by the guide groove 24 by a plurality of stages. That is, the control lever 60 is rotated together with the inner cover 30, but the operation of the control lever 60 is guided by the guide groove 24. Accordingly, the inner cover 30 is opened by a plurality of stages. When the inner cover 30 is rotated by a predetermined angle, the control lever 60 reaches the end of one of the plurality of sections, such as the first section 24a and the second section 24b, thereby limiting the rotation of the inner cover 30. When the control lever 60 is rotated at a position that limits the rotation of the inner cover 30, the control lever 60 moves to the other of the sections 24a and 24b, thereby enabling the inner cover 30 to be rotated.

[0066] The guide groove 24 formed in the side surface of the housing 20 is composed of a plurality of sections, such as the first section 24a and the second section 24b, which are respectively formed as a part of a circle having different radii and are centered on the center of rotation of the inner cover 30. Also, the plurality of sections 24a and 24b are formed in a manner connected to each other. Figure 8 An example is shown in which the first section 24a is formed in the guide groove 24 as a part of a circle having a radius d1 and centered on the center of rotation of the inner cover 30, and the second section 24b is formed in the guide groove 24 as a part of a circle having a radius d2 and centered on the center of rotation of the inner cover 30. The guide groove 24 is formed in a manner having the first section 24a and the second section 24b. Accordingly, the inner cover 30 can be opened by two stages. The first section 24a is formed in a manner connected at the end to the second section 24b. If the guide groove 24 has three sections, the inner cover 30 can be opened by three stages.

[0067] The plurality of sections 24a and 24b are formed such that the greater the opening angle of the inner cover 30, the farther the position of the plurality of sections from the center of rotation of the inner cover 30. That is, the second section 24b is formed in a manner farther from the center of rotation of the inner cover 30 than the first section 24a.

[0068] A through-hole 61 is formed in the middle of the control lever 60. The rotation shaft 32 formed on the inner cover 30 passes through the through-hole 61. The control lever 60 is rotatably installed on the inner cover 30.

[0069] Also, a stopper 63 that moves along the guide groove 24 is formed on one end of the control lever 60, and an operation part 62 is formed on the other end thereof. The operation part 62 operates the control lever 60 in such a manner that the stopper 63 moves from the current section to the next section when the inner cover 30 is rotated by a predetermined angle.

[0070] The stopper 63 is formed so as to protrude from one end of the lever 60 and pass through the guide groove 24. The stopper 63 limits the opening angle of the inner cover 30 while moving along the inside of the guide groove 24. For example, when the stopper 63 reaches the end of the first section 24a, the inner cover 30 no longer rotates. When the stopper 63 is movable within the second section 24b after moving to the second section 24b, the inner cover 30 can also be opened in two stages. Figure 8 The positional relationship between the guide groove 24 and the stopper 63 is shown. In the Figure 8 In the guide groove 24, the stopper 63 moves from position (a) to position (d) through positions (b) and (c). In the state in which the inner cover 30 is closed, the stopper 63 is positioned at position (a). When the inner cover 30 is opened to the first stage, the stopper 63 moves from position (a) toward position (b) along the first section 24a. When the inner cover 30 is completely opened to the first stage, the stopper 63 is positioned at position (b). Subsequently, the lever 60 rotates, and thus the stopper 63 moves to position (c), thereby being in a state in which the stopper 63 is movable within the second section 24b. Subsequently, when the inner cover 30 is opened to the second stage, the stopper 63 moves from position (c) toward position (d). When the inner cover 30 is completely opened to the second stage, the stopper 63 is positioned at position (d). Conversely, when the inner cover 30 is closed, the stopper 63 moves in the opposite direction at the guide groove 24.

[0071] The operation portion 62 protrudes from the other end of the lever 60. When the stopper 63 reaches one of the sections 24a and 24b, the passenger applies an operation force to the operation portion 62 so that the lever 60 can rotate. Thus, the stopper 63 moves to the adjacent section 24a or 24b.

[0072] The torsion spring 67 is installed on the rotation shaft 32 so that the lever 60 makes the stopper 63 face the center of rotation of the inner cover 30. One end of the torsion spring 67 is fixed to the inner cover 30, and the other end thereof is fixed to a spring fixing portion 64 formed on the lever 60. Thus, the torsion spring 67 elastically supports so that the stopper 63 faces the center of rotation of the inner cover 30.

[0073] Further, the lever 60 is formed so that the distance from the center of rotation of the lever 60 to the stopper 63 is greater than the distance from the center of rotation of the lever 60 to the operation portion 62. Thus, even using its weight, the lever 60 makes the stopper 63 face the center of rotation of the inner cover 30.

[0074] The lever cover 70 is fixed to the outer surface of the case 20 in a manner of covering the control lever 60. The periphery of the lever cover 70 is inserted into the inner cover 30, and the lever cover 70 is engaged to the inner cover 30. Accordingly, the control lever 60 is covered in a manner of not being exposed to the outside. However, the stopper 63 and the operation portion 62 on the control lever 60 must be exposed to the outside. To this end, an operation groove 72 through which the operation portion 62 passes is formed in the lever cover 70, and a guide groove 73 through which the stopper 63 passes is formed in the lever cover 70. Further, a through hole 71 through which the rotation shaft 32 passes can be formed in the lever cover 70. The operation groove 72 and the guide groove 73 serve to limit the rotation angle of the control lever 60 in the inner cover 30.

[0075] The operation of the multi-stage open-type vehicle storage box according to the embodiment of the present application having the above-described configuration is described as follows.

[0076] Figure 3 And Figure 9 A state in which the inner cover 30 closes the front surface of the case 20 is shown.

[0077] When a passenger operates the button 44 to load or unload an article into or from the multi-stage open-type vehicle storage box according to the embodiment of the present application, the inner cover 30 is opened to the first stage with respect to the case 20 (see Figure 10 And Figure 11 ).

[0078] When the button 44 is operated, one end of the lever 42 is separated from the locking groove 23. Accordingly, the inner cover 30 is unlocked, and thus is rotated by the torsion spring 35 installed on the hinge pin 27, thereby opening the inner cover 30 to the first stage.

[0079] At this time, the control lever 60 moves along the first section 24a of the guide groove 24 while being rotated together with the inner cover 30. When the stopper 63 reaches the end of the first section 24a, the stopper 64 is hooked on the end of the first section 24a, thereby limiting the movement of the control lever 60. Accordingly, the inner cover 30 is in a state of not being rotated any more.

[0080] In particular, the stopper 63 on the control lever 60 is elastically supported in a manner of facing the rotation center of the inner cover 30. Accordingly, the inner cover 30 is not rotated any more. Thus, the inner cover 30 maintains a predetermined opening angle a.

[0081] When it is not necessary to load or unload a large-volume article into or from the multi-stage open-type vehicle storage box, or when it is not necessary to clean the multi-stage open-type vehicle storage box, the inner cover 30 can accommodate articles into the multi-stage open-type vehicle storage box by being switched from the closed state to the state of being opened to the first stage.

[0082] When it is necessary to load and unload bulky articles into and from the multi-stage open vehicle storage box, or when it is necessary to clean the multi-stage open vehicle storage box, the inner cover 30 is further opened to the second stage.

[0083] To open the inner cover 30 to the second stage, first, the passenger rotates the lever 60 by pressing the operation portion 62, thereby moving the stopper 63 from the end point of the first section 24a to the start point of the second section 24b (refer to Figure 13 to Figure 15 ).

[0084] When the passenger presses the operation portion 62, the lever 60 rotates about the rotation shaft 32. Accordingly, the stopper 63 is moved from the end point of the first section 24a to the start point of the second section 24b, thereby allowing the stopper 64 to be movable along the second section 24b.

[0085] The stopper 63 on the lever 60 is elastically supported toward the rotation center of the inner cover 30. Accordingly, when the lever 60 is not rotated by pressing the operation portion 62, the stopper 63 stays at the end point of the first section 24a without being moved to the second section 24b. Accordingly, when the operation portion 62 is pressed, the stopper 63 is moved from the first section 24a to the second section 24b.

[0086] When the stopper 63 completes the movement to the start point of the second section 24b, the inner cover 30 is opened to the second stage by the torsion spring 35 installed on the hinge pin 27 (refer to Figure 16 to Figure 18 ). Alternatively, the passenger can open the inner cover 30 two stages by pulling the upper end portion of the inner cover 30.

[0087] When the stopper 63 is positioned in the second section 24b, the stopper 62 can be movable along the second section 24b, and thus the inner cover 30 can be further opened.

[0088] The inner cover 30 can be rotated until the stopper 63 is positioned at the end point of the second section 24b. Accordingly, the inner cover 30 can be further opened by an additional opening angle β compared to when opened to the first stage. That is, when opened to the second stage, the inner cover 30 is further opened by an additional opening angle β than when opened to the first stage.

[0089] In this way, when the inner cover 30 is opened to the second stage, the space between the upper end of the inner cover 30 and the housing 20 is further widened. Accordingly, bulky articles can be loaded into or unloaded from the accommodation units 21 and 22 of the housing 20, or the interior of the multi-stage open vehicle storage box can be easily cleaned.

[0090] To close the inner cover 30, when the passenger pushes only the outer surface (e.g., the skin 51) of the inner cover 30 toward the housing 20, the inner cover 30 closes the front surface of the housing 20. In addition, the inner cover 30 is locked on the housing 20.

[0091] Regardless of the degree to which the inner cover 30 is opened, when the inner cover 30 is pushed in the closing direction, the inner cover 30 is rotated in the direction in which the inner cover 30 is enclosed by the housing 20. When the inner cover 30 is closed, the control lever 60 does not restrict the rotation of the inner cover 30. That is, although the inner cover 30 is changed from the state in which the inner cover 30 is opened to the second stage to the closed state, when the stopper 63 reaches the start point of the second section 24b, the stopper 63 is moved to the end point of the first section 24a by the weight of the torsion spring 67 installed on the rotation shaft 32 and the control lever 60 itself without a separate operation. In addition, the stopper 63 is in a state in which the stopper 63 is movable along the first section 24a. Therefore, in the state in which the inner cover 30 is opened to the first stage and the inner cover 30 is closed, the inner cover 30 can be rotated to the closed state without stopping.

[0092] When the inner cover 30 reaches the closed position, one end of the surface of the lever 42, which is inclined, is easily inserted into the locking groove 23. Therefore, the inner cover 30 is in the locked state.
