Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE Field of the present disclosure

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a center console device for vehicles. More particularly, it relates to a center console device for vehicles comprising a three-stage rail structure with slidably connected rails to facilitate not only the sliding of a center console but also the sliding of a storage compartment received in the center console. Description of the state of the art

[0002] In general, a vehicle console is a structure provided in a space between a driver's seat and a passenger seat in a vehicle interior and used as a storage area for items used by a driver and passengers of a vehicle while driving the vehicle.

[0003] Such a console for vehicles is used to support the driver's arm to reduce driver fatigue when the driver drives the vehicle for a long period of time, and is not just for the purpose of storing items.

[0004] The conventional console for vehicles includes a console main body provided in the shape of a box with an open upper part and connected to the floor surface between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, and a cover member hinged to one side of the upper end of the console main body to cover the open upper part of the console main body.

[0005] Here, the console main body is designed in the form of a box with an open upper part and thus includes a storage space for storing items.

[0006] In addition, the cover member is hinged on the side of the upper end portion of the console main body, is used to open or close the open upper part of the console main body, and also serves as an armrest, so that the driver can comfortably rest his arm on it after closing the upper end of the console main body.

[0007] However, in the conventional vehicle console described above, the position of the console is completely fixed to the driver's seat and the front passenger seat, so it is inconvenient for passengers sitting in the rear seat to use the console, and there are many restrictions on the movement of passengers due to the lack of space between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat.

[0008] For the present purpose, a console for vehicles which is connected to the floor surface between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat by rails to be slidable has been developed, but since various functions have been added to the console for vehicles recently, the structure of the console becomes complicated due to the sliding and these additional functions, and therefore efforts are required to simplify the complicated structure of the console.

[0009] The information included in this background of the present disclosure is provided only to enhance the understanding of the general background of the present disclosure and should not be construed as an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that this information constitutes prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

[0038] In general, a center console 1 for vehicles, which is a structure provided in a space between a driver's seat and a passenger seat in a vehicle interior, may be configured to mount various types of electrical and electronic components such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB), a Shift-By-Wire (SBW) system, etc., therein, and may be used as a tray in which articles used by a driver and passengers of the vehicle during travel are stored.

[0039] The center console 1 may be slidably mounted between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat to provide rear seat passengers with as much comfort as possible in a vehicle in which seats are generally arranged in two or more rows, and a tray 2 may be slidably connected to the inside of the center console 1 to provide additional storage.

[0040] For the present purpose, a three-stage rail structure, which may also be referred to as a rail connecting structure 10, may be attached to the center console 1, as shown in Fig. 12, and the center console 1 and the tray 2 may comprise a simple structure and be easily moved by the rail connection structure 10.

[0041] That is, as in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the console device according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is configured such that the center console 1 and the tray 2 can be individually slidably moved by the rail connection structure 10, more specifically, the three-stage rail connection structure formed by connecting a first rail 100, a second rail 200, a first stopper 300, a tray rail 400, and a second stopper 500.

[0042] First, the first rail 100 is attached to a vehicle body having a certain length from a position between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat to connect the first row and the second row.

[0043] The second rail 200 is connected to the first rail 100 to selectively slide in the forward and backward direction of the first rail 100, and is connected to the inside of the center console 1 (referring to Fig. 12).

[0044] The second rail 200 can be fixed in a sliding position by the first stopper 300.

[0045] The first stopper 300 is fixedly attached to the second rail 200, slides together with the second rail 200, and engages with the first rail 100, thereby selectively fixing the sliding position of the second rail 200.

[0046] For the present purpose, the first stopper 300 comprises a main body 310, a rail rod 320 and web elements 330, as shown in Fig. 4 shown.

[0047] The main body 310 is fixedly attached to the front position of the second rail 200, and movement guides 312 projecting downward from the main body 310 pass through the second rail 200 and are arranged in a slot S of the first rail 100, as shown in Fig. 3, and thereby the motion guides 312 guide the sliding of the second rail 200 as it moves in the longitudinal direction of the slot S.

[0048] In addition, the rail rod 320 is connected to the inside of a guide portion 310a provided in the main body 310 and is provided to be moved by operating a lever L (referring to Fig. 12) to be selectively movable within the guide area 310a.

[0049] Specifically, the rail rod 320 can be moved forward and backward in the guide portion 310a of the main body 310 by operating the lever L of the center console 1, and the position of the rail rod 320 can be fixed by a pair of elastic members 340 in the main body 310.

[0050] That is, the elastic members 340 are mounted in the main body 310 and connected to the front portion of the rail rod 320 to guide the rail rod 320 to fix the position of the rail rod 320, and the elastic members 340 can be compressed in the state where the rail rod 320 is moved by operating the lever L and can thereby exert an elastic restoring force on the rail rod 320 to return the rail rod 320 to the original position.

[0051] The initial position of the rail rod 320 is defined as a position in which a pair of the web elements 330 are spaced apart from each other by the rail rod 320 (with reference to Fig. 4). When the rail rod 320 is moved from such an initial position by operating the lever L, the elastic members 340 are compressed, and the web members 330 are arranged to be adjacent to each other in mutually facing directions. When the operation of the lever L is completed, the rail rod 320 is moved by the elastic restoring force of the elastic members 340, and the web members 330 are returned to their initial positions spaced apart from each other by the shape of the front portion of the rail rod 320.

[0052] Here, the web members 330 include shapes corresponding to the shapes of the left and right sides of the front portion of the rail rod 320, are provided in a pair, and are configured to be selectively moved in the directions facing each other when the rail rod 320 is moved by operating the lever L.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the rail rod 320 may include a protrusion 350.

[0054] The web members 330 are shaped such that one side of each of the web members 330 that comes into contact with the front portion of the rail rod 320 is inclined in a direction corresponding to the other of the web members 330, and thereby, when the rail rod 320 is moved, a space between the web members 330 deviates due to the inclined shape of the rail rod 320 and the web members 330 are arranged to be adjacent to each other, and on the contrary, when the rail rod 320 is returned to its original position, the rail rod 320 presses the web members 330 by the corresponding inclined surfaces, i.e., the projection 350 of the rail rod 320, and thereby the web members 330 are arranged to be spaced from each other by the projection 350.

[0055] The web members 330, which are provided in a pair, include coupling projections 332 extending downwardly toward the first rail 100 (referring to Fig. 3) and are formed in a toothed shape on the outer surfaces of the web elements 330, as in Fig. 5A and Fig. 5B.

[0056] Furthermore, the first rail 100 includes coupling guides 102 formed in a toothed shape corresponding to the coupling projections 332 and guiding the second rail 200 to fix the sliding position of the second rail 200 when the coupling projections 332 are selectively engaged with the coupling guides 102.

[0057] When the rail rod 320 is moved and the web members 330 are arranged to be adjacent to each other by the elastic restoring force of springs 322, the engagement state between the coupling projections 332 and the coupling guides 102 is released, and thereby the second rail 200 can slide freely (referring to Fig. 5B), and in contrast, when the rail rod 320 is returned to its initial position, the springs 322 are compressed and the web members 330 are arranged to be spaced apart from each other, the coupling projections 332 and the coupling guides 102 are engaged with each other, and thereby the second rail 200 cannot be displaced (with reference to Fig. 5A).

[0058] That is, as in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, when the second rail 200 slides along the first rail in the initial state by operating the lever L, the rail rod 320 is moved, the web members 330 are arranged so that they are adjacent to each other, that is, the engagement state between the coupling projections 332 and the coupling guides 102 is released (referring to Fig. 5B), and thereby the second rail 200 is slidable. Accordingly, when the operation of the lever L of the center console 1 is released, the rail rod 320 is returned to its original position, and the web members 330 are arranged to be spaced apart from each other, the coupling projections 332 and the coupling guides 102 are in the engaged state (with reference to Fig. 5A), and therefore the second rail 200 cannot be moved.

[0059] By the above structure, in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the sliding of the second rail 200 is possible only when the lever L is operated, and the sliding of the second rail 200 is not possible when the operation of the lever L is released, and therefore, problems caused by the free movement of the second rail 200 in various driving situations, such as collision of the second rail 200 with passengers and resulting injuries to the passengers, can be prevented.

[0060] The storage rail 400 is connected to the rear position of the second rail 200 to slide in the forward and backward direction, and is connected to the tray 2 provided in the center console 1 to provide an additional storage space, as shown in Fig. 9 shown.

[0061] A rail cover 410 can be attached to either side of the storage rail 400 (referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3), and the rail covers 410 cover the sides of the tray rail 400 that are exposed due to the extension of the tray rail 400 together with the tray 2 to the outside of the center console 1, and can thereby prevent foreign matter from being introduced into the rail connection structure 10 installed in the center console 1.

[0062] Furthermore, the storage rail 400, the first rail 100 and the second rail 200 may form the three-stage rail structure in the center console 1, as shown in Fig. 8, and allow additional pulling out of the shelf 2.

[0063] Here, the second stopper 500 is attached to the tray rail 400, slides together with the tray rail 400, and engages with the second rail 200, thereby selectively fixing the sliding position of the tray rail 400.

[0064] For the present purpose, the second stopper 500 comprises a body 510 and engaging parts 520 as shown in Fig. 3 shown.

[0065] The body 510 is fixedly attached to the storage rail 400 and slides together with the storage rail 400 on the second rail 200.

[0066] Furthermore, the engaging parts 520 extend from the body 510 toward the second rail 200 and are arranged to engage a pair of guide slots provided in the second rail 200 so as to be movable by the length of the guide slots, which are configured to prevent the storage rail 400 from being separated from the center console 1 when the storage rail 400 is pulled out due to sliding thereof.

[0067] Buffer elements 530 formed of an elastic material may be attached to the engaging parts 520, and the buffer elements 530 are configured to absorb shocks caused by a collision when the engaging parts 520 are engaged with the front or rear portions of the guide slots.

[0068] Consequently, the buffer members 530 can absorb shocks when the tray 2 is abruptly pulled out from the center console 1 or pushed into the center console 1, and can thus prevent damage to the tray 2.

[0069] The first rail 100 may include wheel members 110 configured to support rail members 210 extending downward from the second rail 200 and rotated by the movement of the rail members 210 to guide the sliding of the second rail 200, as shown in Fig. 3 shown.

[0070] The wheel members 110 are provided in a pair to support each of the two sides of the rail members 210 to guide the sliding of the rail members 210, and are rotatably mounted in mounting holes H formed in the first rail 100, as shown in Fig. 10 shown.

[0071] Here, as in Fig. 11, the mounting holes H may be provided in plural such that the distances between the mounting holes H in the respective pairs are different, and the wheel members 110 may be mounted in a selected pair of the mounting holes H such that the mounting position of the wheel members 110 is varied.

[0072] When the wheel members 110 are mounted in a pair of the mounting holes H with the largest distance therebetween, the overlap amount of the rail members 210 is relatively reduced, and thereby the operating force of the second rail 200 becomes light.

[0073] On the other hand, when the wheel members 110 are mounted in a pair of the mounting holes H with the shortest distance therebetween, the overlap amount of the rail members 210 is relatively increased, and thereby the operating force of the second rail 200 becomes heavy.

[0074] Accordingly, when the distance between the mounting holes H, which are opposite to each other and provided in a pair, is selected to adjust the operating force of the second rail 200, and the wheel members 110 are mounted in the selected mounting holes H, the operating force of the second rail 200 can be varied, and thereby the operating force of the second rail 200 can be adjusted depending on the sliding of the center console 1 at the request of a user.

[0075] Similarly, the above-described wheel members 110 may also be mounted on the second rail 200, and therefore, when the wheel members 110 are mounted in a selected pair of mounting holes H from a plurality of mounting holes H formed in the second rail 200 such that distances between the mounting holes H provided in the respective pairs are different, the operating force of the tray rail 400 can also be adjusted depending on the sliding of the tray 2.

[0076] The present disclosure provides a center console device for vehicles that uses a three-stage rail structure with slidably connected rails to facilitate not only the sliding of a center console but also the sliding of a tray accommodated in the center console, thereby achieving structural simplification of the sliding and improving usability.

[0077] Furthermore, the present disclosure provides not only sliding structures of the center console and the tray, but also locking structures of the center console and the tray configured to adjust the sliding positions of the center console and the tray.

[0078] Furthermore, the present disclosure adopts guide wheel structures with an adjustable distance therebetween and can thereby selectively adjust the sliding speeds of the center console and the tray when the center console and the tray are slid, which are configured to control the operating forces of the center console and the tray.

[0079] As apparent from the above description, the present disclosure provides a center console device for vehicles that uses a three-stage rail structure including rails slidably connected to each other to facilitate not only the sliding of a center console but also the sliding of a tray accommodated in the center console, thereby achieving structural simplification of the sliding and improving usability.
