[Figure 5] FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a partition system according to a third embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] [Embodiment 1] An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a partition device 10 according to the first embodiment. For ease of explanation, the front-rear direction, left-right direction, and up-down direction of the vehicle 1 are defined as shown by arrows in Fig. 1 and other figures. The left-right direction is the width direction of the vehicle 1.

[0011] The vehicle 1 includes a vehicle body 2, a ceiling member 3, front seats 5, rear seats 6, and a partition device 10. The vehicle body 2 forms the framework of the vehicle 1. The ceiling member 3 forms part of the vehicle interior space 30. The ceiling member 3 is attached to a ceiling portion 2A of the vehicle body 2 that forms the ceiling portion of the vehicle 1. The ceiling member 3 has an opening 4 that is rectangular in plan view.

[0012] The front seat 5 is a seat device arranged at the front of the vehicle 1. The front seat 5 is a driver's seat or a passenger seat. The rear seat 6 is a seat device arranged behind the front seat 5. Note that the vehicle 1 does not necessarily have to be equipped with a rear seat 6. The front seat 5 and the rear seat 6 can be equipped with well-known seat devices equipped with a seat cushion and a seat back. The front seat 5 is equipped with a seat slide device 7 and a reclining device 8. The rear seat 6 may also be equipped with the seat slide device 7 and the reclining device 8.

[0013] The seat slide device 7 allows the seat cushion of the front seat 5 to move in the longitudinal direction. The seat slide device 7 includes a lower rail fixed to a floor 9 that constitutes part of the vehicle interior space 30, and an upper rail that engages with the lower rail and slides in the longitudinal direction of the lower rail. The seat slide device 7 is switched between an unlocked state in which the upper rail is slidable relative to the lower rail, and a locked state in which the upper rail is not slidable relative to the lower rail. The seat slide device 7 may be configured so that the sliding of the upper rail relative to the lower rail is manually adjustable. Alternatively, the seat slide device 7 may be configured so that the sliding of the upper rail relative to the lower rail is adjusted by transmitting driving force from an electric motor. A well-known seat slide device can be used as the seat slide device 7.

[0014] The reclining device 8 allows the seat back of the front seat 5 to be reclined relative to the seat cushion of the front seat 5. The reclining device 8 switches between an unlocked state, which allows the seat back to be tilted forward or backward relative to the seat cushion, and a locked state, which prevents the seat back from being tilted forward or backward relative to the seat cushion. The reclining device 8 may be configured so that the angle of the seat back relative to the seat cushion can be adjusted manually. Alternatively, the reclining device 8 may be configured so that the angle of the seat back relative to the seat cushion can be adjusted by transmitting driving force from an electric motor. Any known reclining device can be used as the reclining device 8.

[0015] The front seat 5 is a seat device whose seat position can be adjusted. The adjustment of the seat position includes adjusting the position of the front seat 5 in the fore-and-aft direction using the seat slide device 7 and adjusting the angle of the seat back of the front seat 5 using the reclining device 8.

[0016] The partition device 10 is installed on the ceiling of the vehicle 1. The partition device 10 includes a partition 11, a first winding shaft 12, and a moving mechanism 13.

[0017] The partition 11 is deployed within the vehicle interior space 30 to divide the vehicle interior space 30. The partition 11 is a flexible member that can be wound up around a first winding shaft 12. The partition 11 is, for example, a fabric member made of natural or chemical fibers, or a resin sheet member.

[0018] The partition 11 divides the vehicle interior space 30 behind the front seats 5. The vehicle interior space 30 divided by the partition 11 is divided into a front vehicle interior space 30A where the front seats 5 are located, and a rear vehicle interior space 30B behind the front vehicle interior space 30A. In this embodiment, a rear seat 6 is located in the rear vehicle interior space 30B. Dividing the front vehicle interior space 30A and the rear vehicle interior space 30B by the partition 11 improves privacy in each of the vehicle interior spaces 30A, 30B. The partition 11 may be configured so that a hook attached to a lower end 11A of the partition 11 can be hooked onto a metal fitting or the like fixed to the floor 9.

[0019] The first winding shaft 12 is installed on the ceiling portion 2A of the vehicle body 2 or on the ceiling member 3. The first winding shaft 12 is located between the ceiling portion 2A of the vehicle body 2 and the ceiling member 3 in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the first winding shaft 12 is attached to a moving mechanism 13. The first winding shaft 12 winds up the partition 11.

[0020] For example, when the first winding shaft 12 rotates in the forward direction, the partition 11 wound around the first winding shaft 12 is fed downward through the opening 4. When the partition 11 is fed downward, the partition 11 is deployed into the vehicle interior space 30. When the first winding shaft 12 rotates in the reverse direction, which is opposite to the forward rotation, the partition 11 is wound up around the first winding shaft 12. When the partition 11 is wound up, the partition 11 that was deployed into the vehicle interior space 30 is stored in the ceiling of the vehicle 1. The first winding shaft 12 may be configured to rotate by the driving force of an electric motor (not shown), for example. Alternatively, the first winding shaft 12 may be configured to rotate manually.

[0021] The movement mechanism 13 is a mechanism that enables the first winding shaft 12 to move in the front-rear direction. The movement mechanism 13 is fixed to the ceiling portion 2A of the vehicle body 2 or the ceiling member 3. In this embodiment, the movement of the first winding shaft 12 in the front-rear direction makes it possible to adjust the partition position of the partition 11 in the vehicle interior space 30 in the front-rear direction. The partition position of the partition 11 can be adjusted within the range in which the opening 4 is formed in the front-rear direction.

[0022] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the first winding shaft 12 moves rearward from the position indicated by the solid line to the position indicated by the dashed line. As the first winding shaft 12 moves, the partition position of the partition 11 can be moved rearward from the position indicated by the solid line to the position indicated by the dashed line. By moving the partition position of the partition 11 rearward, the front passenger compartment space 30A becomes wider. By moving the partition position of the partition 11 forward, the front passenger compartment space 30A becomes narrower.

[0023] The moving mechanism 13 may be configured to manually move the first winding shaft 12 in the front-rear direction, or may be configured to move the first winding shaft 12 in the front-rear direction by driving force from an electric motor. The moving mechanism 13 may be configured, for example, by a slide rail and a slide member that slides on the slide rail. In this case, slide members are attached to both ends of the first winding shaft 12 in the left-right direction, and slide rails are provided on both the left and right sides of the first winding shaft 12. Furthermore, the moving mechanism 13 is not limited to one configured by a slide rail and a slide member. For example, the moving mechanism 13 may employ a well-known rack-and-pinion mechanism.

[0024] According to the partition device 10, the first winding shaft 12 can be moved in the front-rear direction, thereby making it possible to adjust the partition position of the partition 11.

[0025] [Embodiment 2] Another embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to Figures 2 and 3. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a partition device 10A according to embodiment 2. Figure 3 is a plan view of a ceiling member 3 and a movable member 20.

[0026] For ease of explanation, components having the same functions as those described in the above embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will not be repeated. Partition device 10A according to embodiment 2 differs from partition device 10B according to embodiment 1 in that first winding shaft 12A cannot move in the front-to-rear direction. The winding operation of partition 11 by first winding shaft 12A is the same as the winding operation of first winding shaft 12 described above, and therefore its description will not be repeated.

[0027] A partition device 10A according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Reference numeral 100 in Fig. 2 illustrates a state in which the vehicle interior space is partitioned by a partition 11. Reference numeral 101 in Fig. 2 illustrates a state in which the partition position of the partition 11 has moved rearward from the partition position indicated by reference numeral 100.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 2, the partition device 10A includes a partition 11, a first winding shaft 12A, and a movable member 20. The first winding shaft 12A is immovably fixed to a ceiling portion 2A or a ceiling member 3 of a vehicle body 2. In this embodiment, the first winding shaft 12A is fixed to the ceiling portion 2A or the ceiling member 3 so as to be located forward of a slit hole 21 of the movable member 20, which will be described later. The first winding shaft 12A may be located forward of the front end of the opening 4 in the front-rear direction. The first winding shaft 12A may be located rearward of the rear end of the opening 4 in the front-rear direction.

[0029] The movable member 20 is attached to the ceiling member 3. The movable member 20 is located between the first winding shaft 12A and the ceiling member 3 in the up-down direction. The movable member 20 forms part of the ceiling of the vehicle interior space 30. In other words, the lower surface of the movable member 20 is a design surface that forms the vehicle interior space 30.

[0030] A slit hole 21 that is slit-shaped in a plan view is formed in the movable member 20. The slit hole 21 is an opening through which the partition 11 is inserted. In the partition device 10A, the partition 11 is deployed into the vehicle interior space 30 through the slit hole 21. By forming the slit hole 21 in the movable member 20, when an occupant in the vehicle interior space 30 looks upward, it becomes difficult to see members that are above the movable member 20 through the slit hole 21.

[0031] Next, the configurations of the ceiling member 3 and the movable member 20 will be described with reference to Figure 3. Reference numeral 200 in Figure 3 is a plan view of the ceiling member 3. Reference numeral 201 in Figure 3 is a plan view of the movable member 20. Reference numeral 202 in Figure 3 is a plan view of the movable member 20 attached to the ceiling member 3.

[0032] As indicated by reference numeral 200 in FIG. 3, the ceiling member 3 is a member whose longitudinal direction is the front-to-rear direction. The width of the opening 4 in the left-to-right direction is narrower than the width of the ceiling member 3 in the left-to-right direction. As indicated by reference numeral 201 in FIG. 3, the movable member 20 is a plate-like member that is approximately rectangular in plan view. This allows the slit hole 21 to move in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle with a simple configuration. The width of the slit hole 21 in the left-to-right direction is formed to be approximately the same as the width of the opening 4 in the left-to-right direction, or narrower than the width of the opening 4 in the left-to-right direction.

[0033] As indicated by reference numeral 202 in Fig. 3, the movable member 20 moves in the front-to-rear direction relative to the ceiling member 3. In this embodiment, the movable member 20 is attached to the ceiling member 3 so as to be slidable on the upper surface of the ceiling member 3. For example, as indicated by reference numeral 202 in Fig. 3, the movable member 20 can be moved rearward from the position indicated by the solid line to the position indicated by the dashed line. The movable member 20 is attached to the ceiling member 3 so that the slit hole 21 can move in the front-to-rear direction within the range in which the opening 4 is formed in the front-to-rear direction.

[0034] The movable member 20 may be configured to be manually movable in the front-rear direction relative to the ceiling member 3, or may be configured to be movable in the front-rear direction relative to the ceiling member 3 by a driving force from an electric motor. The configuration of the movement mechanism 13 described above may be adopted as a movement mechanism that enables the movable member 20 to move in the front-rear direction. The movable member 20 may also be configured to have an engaging protrusion that engages with an engaging recess provided in the ceiling member 3. The movable member 20 may be configured to slide relative to the ceiling member 3 by the engagement of the engaging recess and the engaging protrusion.

[0035] Adjustment of the partition position of the partition 11 in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 2. As indicated by reference numeral 100 in Figure 2, the partition 11 is deployed within the vehicle interior space 30 and divides the vehicle interior space 30 into a front vehicle interior space 30A and a rear vehicle interior space 30B. For example, the movable member 20 moves rearward from the position indicated by reference numeral 100 in Figure 2 to the position indicated by reference numeral 101 in Figure 2. As indicated by reference numeral 101 in Figure 2, as the slit hole 21 of the movable member 20 moves, the partition position of the partition 11 inserted through the slit hole 21 moves rearward. In this embodiment, the partition position of the partition 11 can be adjusted in the front-rear direction by moving the slit hole 21 in the front-rear direction.

[0036] The partition 11 may be fed out at a constant amount from the first take-up shaft 12A. With this configuration, as shown by reference numeral 100 in FIG. 2, when the partition 11 is positioned forward, the lower end 11A of the partition 11 is located near the floor 9. Also, as shown by reference numeral 101 in FIG. 2, when the partition 11 is positioned rearward, the lower end 11A of the partition 11 can be located away from the floor 9. With this configuration, the partition 11 is less likely to come into contact with the legs of an occupant sitting in the rear seat 6.

[0037] (Variation) The partition device having a movable member with slit holes formed therein is not limited to the partition device 10A having the above-described movable member 20. A partition device 10B according to a modified example of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0038] Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a partition device 10B according to this modified example. As shown in Fig. 4, the partition device 10B includes a first winding shaft 12B, a movable member 51, a second winding shaft 53, and a third winding shaft 54. Note that the winding operation of the partition 11 by the first winding shaft 12B is the same as the winding operation of the first winding shaft 12 described above, and therefore the description thereof will not be repeated.

[0039] The first winding shaft 12B is immovably fixed to the ceiling portion 2A of the vehicle body 2 or to the ceiling member 3. The first winding shaft 12B is located forward of the second winding shaft 53. The first winding shaft 12B may also be located rearward of the third winding shaft 54.

[0040] The movable member 51 is a member that is wound around the second winding shaft 53 and the third winding shaft 54. The movable member 51 is, for example, a cloth member made of natural or chemical fibers, or a resin sheet member. The movable member 51 forms part of the ceiling of the vehicle interior space 30. In other words, the lower surface of the movable member 51 is a design surface that forms the vehicle interior space 30. The movable member 51 is formed with a slit hole 52 that is slit-shaped in a plan view. The slit hole 52 is an opening through which the partition 11 is inserted.

[0041] The second winding shaft 53 winds up the movable member 51. The second winding shaft 53 is fixed so as not to be movable to the ceiling portion 2A or the ceiling member 3 of the vehicle body 2. The third winding shaft 54 ​​winds up the movable member 51. The third winding shaft 54 ​​is fixed so as not to be movable to the ceiling portion 2A or the ceiling member 3 of the vehicle body 2. The third winding shaft 54 ​​is located rearward of the second winding shaft 53. The second winding shaft 53 and the third winding shaft 54 ​​rotate manually or by driving force from an electric motor.

[0042] As the second winding shaft 53 or the third winding shaft 54 ​​winds up the movable member 51, the slit hole 52 moves in the front-to-rear direction. More specifically, one end of the movable member 51 in the front-to-rear direction is wound up by the second winding shaft 53, and the other end of the movable member 51 in the front-to-rear direction is wound up by the third winding shaft 54. When the movable member 51 is wound up by the second winding shaft 53, the movable member 51 wound around the third winding shaft 54 ​​is unwound. Furthermore, when the movable member 51 is wound up by the third winding shaft 54, the movable member 51 wound around the second winding shaft 53 is unwound. With this configuration, the slit hole 52 formed in the movable member 51 is movable in the front-to-rear direction.

[0043] In this modified example, the partition position of the partition 11 can be adjusted in the fore-and-aft direction by moving the slit hole 52 in the fore-and-aft direction. According to the partition device 10B, the movable member 51 is wound around the second winding shaft 53 and the third winding shaft 54, so that the space required in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle 1 can be saved.

[0044] According to the above-described partition devices 10A, 10B, since the movable members 20, 51 are provided, there is no need to provide a movement mechanism for moving the first winding shafts 12A, 12B. This makes it possible to adjust the partition position of the partition 11 with a simple configuration.

[0045] [Embodiment 3] Another embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a partition system 60 according to a third embodiment. For ease of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the above embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will not be repeated. The partition system according to the third embodiment adjusts the dividing position of the partition 11 according to the seat position of the front seat 5A.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 5, the partition system 60 includes a front seat 5A, a partition device 10C, and a control device 40.

[0047] The partition device 10C is equipped with an electric motor 15. The electric motor 15 operates based on a control signal from the control device 40. The electric motor 15 drives a movable member 20. The driving force from the electric motor 15 causes the movable member 20 to move in the front-to-rear direction relative to the ceiling member 3. In this embodiment, the movable member 20 is a drive unit for adjusting the dividing position of the partition 11.

[0048] The front seat 5A is equipped with a seat slide device 7A that can adjust the sliding of the upper rail relative to the lower rail by transmitting driving force from an electric motor, and a reclining device 8A that can adjust the angle of the seat back relative to the seat cushion by transmitting driving force from an electric motor.

[0049] The control device 40 controls each part of the partition system 60. The control device 40 is a computer equipped with a processor, a memory, and an input / output interface. The processor executes various controls according to a control program stored in the memory. An example of the processor is a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The memory is, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The control device 40 inputs and outputs information to and from each part of the partition system 60 via the input / output interface. The control device 40 is, for example, an ECU (Electronic Control Unit).

[0050] Next, a control method by the control device 40 will be described. The control device 40 adjusts the partition position of the partition 11 by controlling the electric motor 15 according to the amount of movement of the front seat 5A in the fore-and-aft direction. Reference numeral 300 in FIG. 5 shows a state in which the front seat 5A has moved rearward due to the operation of the seat slide device 7A. The control device 40 moves the movable member 20 rearward according to the amount of rearward movement of the front seat 5A. For example, the control device 40 may control the electric motor 15 so that the amount of rearward movement of the movable member 20 is the same as the amount of rearward movement of the upper rail relative to the lower rail of the seat slide device 7A. This adjusts the partition position of the partition 11.

[0051] The control device 40 also controls the electric motor 15 to adjust the partition position of the partition 11 in accordance with the angle of the seat back relative to the seat cushion of the front seat 5A. Reference numeral 301 in FIG. 5 shows a state in which the seat back of the front seat 5A is tilted backward due to the operation of the reclining device 8A. When the seat back of the front seat 5A is tilted backward, the top of the seat back moves rearward by the amount of the rearward tilt. The control device 40 moves the movable member 20 rearward in accordance with the angle at which the seat back is tilted backward relative to the seat cushion of the front seat 5A. For example, the control device 40 may control the electric motor 15 so that the amount of rearward movement of the movable member 20 is the same as the amount of rearward movement of the top of the seat back due to the rearward tilt of the front seat 5A. This adjusts the partition position of the partition 11.

[0052] According to the partition system 60, the control device 40 controls the electric motor 15 in accordance with the seat position of the front seat 5A. This allows the occupant to adjust the seat position of the front seat 5A without operating the partition device 10C.

[0053] In this embodiment, the front seat 5A is configured to include a seat slide device 7A and a reclining device 8A that are operated by driving an electric motor, but the configuration is not limited to this. The front seat 5A may also be equipped with a manually operated slide device or reclining device. In this case, the amount of movement of the front seat 5A in the fore-and-aft direction may be measured by, for example, an infrared sensor. Also, the angle of rearward tilt of the seat back of the front seat 5A may be measured by an inclination sensor. The control device 40 may adjust the partition position of the partition 11 by controlling the electric motor 15 based on the detection result of the infrared sensor or the inclination sensor. Also, the control device 40 may control the electric motor 15 in accordance with the amount of movement of the rear seat 6 in the fore-and-aft direction to adjust the partition position of the partition 11.

[0054] Furthermore, the control device 40 is not limited to a configuration that controls the amount of movement of the movable member 20 in the front-rear direction. For example, in the case of the partition device 10 in which the first winding shaft 12 described above moves in the front-rear direction, the control device 40 may control the electric motor of the movement mechanism 13 in accordance with the seat position of the front seat 5A to adjust the partition position of the partition 11. In this case, the movement mechanism 13 is a drive unit that adjusts the partition position of the partition 11.

[0055] Furthermore, for example, in the case of the partition device 10B in which the above-described movable member 51 is wound by the second winding shaft 53 and the third winding shaft 54, the control device 40 may control the electric motors that drive the second winding shaft 53 and the third winding shaft 54. The control device 40 adjusts the partition position of the partition 11 by controlling the electric motors that drive the second winding shaft 53 and the third winding shaft 54. In this case, the second winding shaft 53 and the third winding shaft 54 ​​are drive units for adjusting the partition position.

[0056] According to the above-described partition devices 10, 10A, 10B, and 10C, the partition position of the partition 11, which is deployed rearward relative to the front seats 5 and 5A, can be moved rearward. This makes it possible to adjust the seat position of the front seats 5 and 5A. By making the seat position of the front seats 5 and 5A adjustable, the comfort and safety of occupants seated in the front seats 5 and 5A can be improved. Furthermore, by making the partition position of the partition 11 adjustable in the fore-and-aft direction, the size of the front passenger compartment space 30A can also be adjusted. For example, by minimizing the size of the front passenger compartment space 30A, the air-conditioning efficiency of the front passenger compartment space 30A can be improved.

[0057] 〔summary〕 The partition device according to aspect 1 of the present disclosure comprises a partition that separates the vehicle interior space behind the front seats arranged in the vehicle interior space, and a first winding shaft that winds up the partition, the first winding shaft being installed on the ceiling of the vehicle body or on a ceiling member that forms part of the vehicle interior space, and the partition position separated by the partition can be adjusted in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle.

[0058] According to the first aspect, the partition position of the partition that is deployed behind the front seats can be moved rearward, thereby making it possible to adjust the seat position of the front seats.

[0059] The partition device according to aspect 2 of the present disclosure may be, in the above-mentioned aspect 1, further include a movement mechanism fixed to the ceiling portion or the ceiling member and enabling the first winding shaft to move in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, and by moving the first winding shaft in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, the partition position of the partition may be adjusted in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle.

[0060] According to the second aspect, the first winding shaft can be moved in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, thereby making it possible to adjust the partition position of the partition.
