Description

[0001] The invention relates to a storage system according to the preamble of claim 1 for a motor vehicle with several system mounts, several system inserts, wherein the system inserts have a uniform external geometry, wherein each system mount has a receiving space corresponding to the external geometry of the system inserts, such that each system insert can be positioned in each system mount.

[0002] Such a storage system is known, for example, from DE 10 2021 107 182 A1. Various approaches to storage options in the area of ​​a motor vehicle's center console are known from the prior art. Reference is made, for example, to DE 199 08 139 A1 and DE 10 2006 048 565 A1. Furthermore, reference is also made to DE 10 2023 135 670 A1, DE 10 2018 005 602 B3, US 2022 / 0 129 832 A1, DE 10 2019 129 065 A1 and DE 100 27 373 A1, which deal with the topic of storage systems in motor vehicles.

[0003] Currently available storage compartments in motor vehicles do not offer a way to systematically accommodate different external components. For example, it is not possible to store either beverage containers, such as bottles, cans, or cups, or multiple storage boxes for food or other cargo in a single compartment of a center console.

[0004] The object underlying the invention is seen as being to provide a storage system for a motor vehicle in which the above disadvantages are avoided and in particular a systematized and, if necessary, interchangeable storage of various cargo is made possible.

[0005] This problem is solved by a storage system and a motor vehicle with the features of the respective independent patent claim. Advantageous embodiments with appropriate further developments are specified in the dependent patent claims.

[0006] A storage system for a motor vehicle is proposed, comprising multiple system mounts and multiple system inserts. The system inserts have a uniform external geometry, and each system mount has a receiving space corresponding to the external geometry of the system inserts, such that each system insert can be positioned in any system mount. It is further provided that at least two of the multiple system inserts have different internal compartment layouts arranged within the uniform external geometry.

[0007] This makes it possible to provide at least two system inserts that are essentially identical in terms of their external dimensions and shape, but have an interior space prepared for accommodating different types of cargo using the respective compartment dividers. Thus, various types of cargo can be stowed within a single system insert, and the system inserts can each be arranged in any system receptacle.

[0008] The storage system features a handle on each insert that can be moved between a carrying position and a receiving position. This allows the insert to be easily grasped and inserted into or removed from a system receptacle. Furthermore, the inserts can be removed from a receptacle in this way and carried to another location by an operator.

[0009] In this storage system, each insert has a base and at least two walls connected to the base. In other words, a system insert can have at least three walls, arranged in an approximately U-shape (with possibly rounded corners).

[0010] In this storage system, each insert has three partition walls and is freely accessible from the front and / or top. This allows the insert to be designed to be sufficiently stable while simultaneously providing optimal accessibility for a specific purpose.

[0011] In this storage system, one of the system inserts can have a removable lid. This lid can be separate from the aforementioned carrying handle, allowing the system insert to be carried with or without the lid. Alternatively, the lid may also have the carrying handle, meaning that the system insert can only be transported with the lid securely attached.

[0012] In the storage system, the deployment space division of one of the system inserts has at least one substantially horizontally arranged shelf, such that at least two deployment compartments accessible from the front are formed.

[0013] The storage system also features storage boxes that are tailored to the dimensions of the insert compartments and can be inserted into and removed from each insert compartment.

[0014] In the storage system, the compartment layout of one of the system inserts can include at least one substantially horizontally arranged bracket with multiple mounting openings, such that several beverage container holders accessible from above are formed. The mounting openings can be circular and have a diameter slightly larger than that of typical beverage containers, such as bottles, cans, drinking cups, or the like.

[0015] In this storage system, the system inserts can be used separately from the system mounts, and in particular, they can be transported by one operator using the handle in the carrying position.

[0016] If, for example, food and / or beverages are transported using the system inserts, the inserts can be removed from the vehicle during a break in the journey and taken to a dining area. Alternatively, the system inserts can be pre-stocked with food and / or beverages, for instance in a kitchen, and then placed in their respective system compartments in the vehicle before the journey begins.

[0017] A motor vehicle can be equipped with a storage system as described above, wherein at least two system mounts are arranged in different positions within the vehicle interior. For example, one system mount can be located in a center console between the front seats of the motor vehicle, and another system mount can be located in the area of ​​a backrest of a rear seat row. It is also possible to arrange at least one system mount in a luggage compartment (trunk).

[0018] On the vehicle, one of the system mounts can be positioned so that it is accessible from outside the vehicle. For example, the system mount can be located very close to the trunk lid, allowing direct access when the trunk lid is open. Alternatively, the vehicle could have an additional flap on the body side, behind which a system mount is located.

[0019] Further advantages and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments with reference to the figures. These show: Fig. 1 simplified and schematically depicts a motor vehicle with a storage system; Fig. 2 simplified and schematically shows an embodiment of a system deployment; Fig. 3 simplified and schematically shows an embodiment of a system deployment; Fig. 4 simplified and schematically illustrates further embodiments of a system deployment; Fig. Figure 5 simplifies and schematically illustrates the use of a system insert outside of a motor vehicle.

[0020] In Fig. Figure 1 is a simplified and schematic storage system 10 for a motor vehicle 200, illustrated here only as a dashed rectangle.

[0021] The storage system 10 comprises several system mounts 12 and several system inserts 14. The system inserts 14 have a uniform external geometry or shape. In particular, external dimensions such as height, width, and depth of the system inserts are identical.

[0022] Each system mount 12 has a receiving space 16 corresponding to the outer geometry or shape of the system inserts 14, such that each system insert 14 can be positioned or arranged in each system mount 12.

[0023] In the example of the Fig. 1. In the motor vehicle 200, the two system mounts 12 are arranged at different positions in a vehicle interior which is not shown in detail here. The in Fig. The system mounting 12 shown on the left can, for example, be arranged laterally in a luggage compartment (trunk) or a side interior panel. The in Fig. 1 The system mount 12 shown on the right can, for example, be located in a center console 18, which is only indicated here, for instance between two front seats of the motor vehicle 200.

[0024] The in Fig. The positions of system mounts 12 illustrated in Figure 1 are purely exemplary. It is also conceivable that two system mounts 12 are arranged one behind the other in the center console 18, running lengthwise along the vehicle. Furthermore, a system mount 12 can also be provided between the rear seats or in the area of ​​a rear seat backrest. Providing a system mount 12 in the area of ​​a glove compartment is also conceivable.

[0025] One of the system recordings 12 can also be positioned in the motor vehicle 200 in such a way that it is accessible from outside the motor vehicle 200.

[0026] As from the Fig. As can be seen in the left-hand illustration, a system mount 12 or its mounting space 16 can be covered or closed by means of a flap 17 (shown here in the open position). The system mount 12 or the mounting space 16 is dimensioned such that the flap 17 can be closed even with a system insert 14 installed in it.

[0027] In the Fig. 1. Two system deployments 14, which are designed in the same way, are shown purely as examples.

[0028] The system inserts 14 each have a handle 20, which can be positioned between a carrying position (right in Fig. 1 shown) and a shooting position (left in Fig. 1 shown) is movable.

[0029] In the recording system 10, at least two of the several system inserts 14 have a different operational space division ER arranged within the uniform outer geometry, which is described below with reference to the Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 is described as an example.

[0030] In Fig. Figure 2 shows a system deployment 14 from slightly different perspectives, in which the deployment space division has two essentially horizontally arranged shelves 24, such that at least three deployment compartments 24f accessible from the front are formed.

[0031] Suitable storage boxes 26 can be inserted into the compartments 24f, or may already be inserted. These storage boxes may contain, for example, food or other items such as cutlery, napkins, or the like.

[0032] It should be noted that the configuration with two shelves 24 and three insert compartments 24f is purely exemplary. It is also possible to have only one shelf 24 or more than two shelves 24.

[0033] In Fig. Figure 3 shows a system deployment 14 from slightly different perspectives, in which the deployment space division has two essentially horizontally arranged brackets 28 with several bracket openings 30, such that several brackets accessible from above for beverage containers 32, such as bottles or cans or the like, are formed.

[0034] As from the Fig. 2 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 3, each system insert 14 has a base 14b and at least two walls 14w connected to the base. In particular, each system insert 14 can have three walls 14w, being freely accessible at the front and / or top.

[0035] The in Fig. The system insert 14 shown in Figure 2 has a removable insert cover 34. In the example shown, the insert cover 34 can also be permanently connected to the insert walls 14w. For example, the handle 20 can be movably connected to the insert cover 34 or to two insert walls 14w.

[0036] In Fig. Figure 4 illustrates two further configuration options for the deployment area allocation of system deployments.

[0037] The system insert 14 shown in the lower left has two separate compartments 24f in its upper section, separated by a vertical partition 24t. Below this, a further compartment 24f is formed by means of a shelf 24b, in which a storage box 26 is arranged. With this configuration of the system insert 14, for example, other items such as packs of wipes PF or cosmetic products KP can be stored.

[0038] The system insert 14 shown above right includes a loudspeaker 42. Such a system insert 14 may also include, for example, a battery unit (not shown here) that can be used to charge a mobile phone 44 or the like, particularly when the mobile phone 44 is used to play back audio files via the loudspeaker 42. Such a system insert 14 with a loudspeaker can, for example, be used outside the motor vehicle 200.

[0039] In Fig. Figure 5 is a simplified illustration showing that a system deployment 14 (or multiple system deployments 14) is separate from the system recordings 12 (see Fig. 1) are usable, for example on a storage surface 40 (only indicated here), such as a table or the like. In particular, the system inserts 14 can be transported by an operator in the carrying position using the handle 20. From the example of the Fig. For example, it can be seen in Figure 5 that a storage box 26 has been removed from the system insert 14 and opened in order to take out a sandwich BB.

[0040] The in Fig. The storage box 26 shown in the upper right was, for example, located in the topmost insert compartment 24f, which is shown empty here. The other two insert compartments 24f each contain their own storage boxes 26.

[0041] In summary, a combination of different system inserts 14 (receiving units or racks) is proposed, which can be stored in the vehicle 200 at various locations, such as the center console, front and rear areas, trunk, with external access via flaps on the exterior body, etc. The storage options are standardized in size to the system inserts 14 or racks and offer a unique positioning option tailored to each system insert 14, so that each system insert 14 or rack can be stored in any standardized storage location (system receptacle 12).
