Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a peripheral structure of a slide board for a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which a slide board is provided behind the seat back of the rear seat, and this slide board abuts against the seat back when the seat back is in an upright position, and folds down together with the seat back when the seat back is in a reclined position. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-124525 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the configuration described in Patent Document 1, let us assume that another rear seat is added between the two rear seats and the seatback of this additional rear seat is folded forward to be used as an armrest. In this case, if the armrest surface on the rear of the seatback is made of a soft material, there is a possibility that the slide board will come into contact with the armrest surface when the seatback is in the upright position, causing marks or scratches.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a peripheral structure for a vehicle slide board that can prevent the slide board from coming into contact with the seat back and leaving marks or scratches. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problem, a typical configuration of the present invention is a vehicle slide board peripheral structure comprising a seat back for the rear seat of a vehicle that is slidable back and forth and can be tilted back and forth, and a slide board that extends from the luggage compartment floor behind the rear seat to the seat back, slides back and forth following the sliding of the rear seat, and covers the gap that occurs between the rear seat and the luggage compartment floor depending on the position of the rear seat, the range that the slide board covers the seat back varies depending on the tilted state of the seat back, and the vehicle slide board peripheral structure is further characterized by comprising a first convex portion that protrudes rearward in the vertical direction from the seat back in a predetermined upright state, is harder than the seat back, and comes into contact with the slide board. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, the slide board abuts against the first convex portion when approaching the seat back, thereby preventing the slide board from abutting against the seat back and thus preventing the slide board from abutting against the seat back and leaving marks or scratches. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 6] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the slide board of FIG. 4 as seen from the side. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] One embodiment of the present invention is a vehicle slide board peripheral structure comprising a seat back for a rear seat of a vehicle that is slidable back and forth and can be tilted back and forth, and a slide board that extends from the luggage compartment floor behind the rear seat to the seat back, slides back and forth following the sliding of the rear seat, and covers the gap that occurs between the rear seat and the luggage compartment floor depending on the position of the rear seat, the extent to which the slide board covers the seat back varies depending on the tilted state of the seat back, and the vehicle slide board peripheral structure is further characterized by comprising a first convex portion that protrudes rearward in the vertical direction from the seat back in a predetermined upright state, is harder than the seat back, and comes into contact with the slide board.

[0010] According to the present invention, the slide board abuts against the first convex portion when approaching the seat back, preventing it from abutting against the seat back. Therefore, the slide board is prevented from abutting against the seat back and leaving marks or scratches. Furthermore, because the first convex portion is made of a hard material, friction between the slide board and the seat back when the seat back is moved is reduced, allowing the user to move the seat back easily.

[0011] The first convex portion includes two elongated members spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction, and the slide board is formed with one or more second convex portions that protrude toward the seat back, and the second convex portions contact only the two elongated members when the seat back is in a predetermined upright position.

[0012] With this configuration, the second convex portion contacts only the two elongated members and does not contact the seat back outside the area between the two elongated members, which more effectively prevents the slide board from contacting the seat back and leaving marks or scratches.

[0013] The radius of curvature of the second convex portion on the tip end side and base end side of the slide board may be greater than the amount of protrusion of the second convex portion toward the seat back.

[0014] With this configuration, the first convex portion is less likely to get caught when it comes into contact with the second convex portion, allowing the user to easily move the seat back.

[0015] It is preferable that a cushioning material is provided on the surface of the second convex portion. This configuration can mitigate the impact when the first convex portion and the second convex portion come into contact with each other. This prevents the seat back from being marked or scratched. It can also reduce the generation of hitting noise (contact noise) when the first convex portion comes into contact with the second convex portion.

[0016] The second convex portion has a vehicle width dimension equal to the distance between the vehicle width outer edges of the two elongated members of the first convex portion, and a recessed concave portion is formed between the two elongated members of the first convex portion.

[0017] With this configuration, the width of the second convex portion is greater than the combined width of the two elongated members, thereby improving the ability of the second convex portion to absorb impacts.

[0018] When the seat back is tilted forward, the seat back preferably serves as an armrest and the first convex portion serves as a drink holder.

[0019] With this configuration, the seat back can double as an armrest, and the first convex portion can double as a drink holder. If they are not used as both, a separate armrest and drink holder would be required, but compared to when they are not used as both, the number of parts is reduced, preventing increases in labor and costs. [Example]

[0020] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Dimensions, materials, and other specific values ​​shown in these embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the invention and, unless otherwise specified, do not limit the present invention. In this specification and drawings, elements having substantially the same functions and configurations are designated by the same reference numerals to avoid redundant explanation, and elements not directly related to the present invention are not shown.

[0021] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the rear of a vehicle to which a peripheral structure 100 for a vehicle sliding board according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied, as seen obliquely from the rear. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the peripheral structure 100 for a vehicle sliding board shown in Fig. 1, with seat backs 106, 116, 126 and front portions 141-143 of a sliding board 140 tilted forward, as seen obliquely from the rear. In Fig. 1 and all other drawings, the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle is indicated by arrows F (Forward) and B (Backward), the left and right directions in the vehicle width direction are indicated by arrows L (Leftward) and R (Rightward), and the up-down direction is indicated by arrows U (Upward) and D (Downward).

[0022] 1, the vehicle slide board peripheral structure 100 includes rear seats 102, 112, and 122. The rear seats 102, 112, and 122 are seats in the rear of the vehicle. The rear seats 102, 112, and 122 each have a seat back 106, 116, and 126.

[0023] The rear seats 102, 112, 122 are attached to the vehicle body so as to be slidable forward and backward. The seat backs 106, 116, 126 can be tilted forward and backward, and the seat back 106 is made of urethane or the like.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 1, the vehicle slide board peripheral structure 100 includes a slide board 140. The slide board 140 is divided into front board sections 141, 142, and 143 and rear board sections 146 and 147 via hinges (not shown). The base ends of the front board sections 141, 142, and 143 are attached to the front ends of the rear board sections 146 and 147 so as to be rotatable about the hinges. Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described using the rear seat 102, which is located in the center of the three rear seats arranged side by side, its seat back 106, and the front board section 141 of the slide board 140 located behind it as representatives unless otherwise specified.

[0025] 1, when the seat back 106 is in an upright position, the front board portion 141 of the slide board 140 entirely covers the seat back 106 and reaches the recessed portion 176 described below. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, when the seat back 106 is in a position where it is tilted forward in a predetermined direction, the front board portion 141 of the slide board 140 covers the seat back 106 with a portion forward of the dashed line 106a and does not reach the recessed portion 176. In other words, the extent to which the front board portion 141 of the slide board 140 covers the seat back 106 varies depending on the tilted state of the seat back 106.

[0026] A hinge (not shown) of the slide board 140 is fixed to a seat bracket (not shown) of the rear seat 102. Therefore, the slide board 140 slides in the front-rear direction in response to the sliding movement of the rear seat 102 in the front-rear direction.

[0027] As described above, the slide board 140 slides back and forth in response to the sliding of the rear seat 102, and therefore slides against the luggage board 160, which serves as the luggage compartment floor behind the rear seat 102 shown in FIG. 2. However, the slide board 140 always extends from the luggage board 160 to the seat back 106, regardless of the position to which the rear seat 102 is slid or the tilt of the seat back 106. Therefore, the slide board 140 always covers the gap G that occurs between the rear seat 102 and the luggage board 160 depending on the sliding position of the rear seat 102. This allows the slide board 140 to prevent objects from falling through the gap G to the floor.

[0028] 3 is a perspective view of the seat back 106 of the peripheral structure 100 for a vehicle sliding board shown in FIG. 1, seen obliquely from the rear. As shown in FIG. 3, the peripheral structure 100 for a vehicle sliding board has a first convex portion 170. The first convex portion 170 protrudes rearward in the vertical direction from the seat back 106 when the seat back 106 is in a predetermined upright position. The first convex portion 170 is harder than the seat back 106 and comes into contact with the front portion 141 of the sliding board 140.

[0029] The first convex portion 170 is molded from, for example, metal or resin. The first convex portion 170 may be molded from a hard material. The first convex portion 170 may be made of steel or the like. The first convex portion 170 includes two elongated members 172, 174 spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction. The elongated members 172, 174 are connected at their upper portions by a horizontal member 178 and at their lower portions by a horizontal member 179.

[0030] The elongated members 172, 174 are formed to extend linearly in the vertical direction. In this case, the elongated members 172, 174 and the horizontal members 178, 179 are connected to form a quadrangle. Note that the elongated members 172, 174 may be formed to extend in an arc shape in the vertical direction, or the horizontal members 178, 179 may be formed in an arc shape in the horizontal direction, and the elongated members 172, 174 and the horizontal members 178, 179 may be connected to form a circle.

[0031] When the seat back 106 is tilted forward, the seat back 106 serves as an armrest. A recessed recessed portion 176 is formed between the two elongated members 172, 174 of the first convex portion. This recessed portion 176 serves as a drink holder.

[0032] Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the board front portion 141 of the slide board 140 included in the peripheral structure 100 for a vehicle slide board of Fig. 1, as viewed obliquely from the front. As shown in Fig. 4, one second convex portion 180 is formed on the tip side of the board front portion 141 of the slide board 140. The second convex portion 180 protrudes toward the seat back 106 when the slide board is in an upright position.

[0033] Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the peripheral structure 100 for a vehicle slide board shown in Fig. 1, viewed from above. As shown in Fig. 5, the second convex portion 180 extends in the vehicle width direction with a vehicle width dimension A that is equal to the distance between the vehicle width edges of the two elongated members 172, 174 of the first convex portion 170, i.e., the distance between the outer edges 172a and 174a. The second convex portion 180 comes into contact with the two elongated members 172, 174 when the seat back 106 is in a predetermined upright position.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the second convex portion 180 has an integral shape that protrudes continuously in the vehicle width direction, but it may be provided only in the portion that protrudes over range B corresponding to the elongated member 172 of the first convex portion 170 and in the portion that protrudes over range C corresponding to the elongated member 174, and may not be provided between range B and range C.

[0035] Furthermore, in a configuration having such second convex portion 180 in range B and second convex portion 180 in range C, the width of one second convex portion 180 may be set narrower than the width (range B) of elongated member 172, and the width of the other second convex portion 180 may be set narrower than the width (range C) of elongated member 174. This is because even if the width of second convex portion 180 is narrower than the width (range B) of elongated member 172 or the width (range C) of elongated member 174, marks and scratches on seat back 106 can be prevented.

[0036] Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the board front part 141 of the slide board 140 shown in Fig. 4 as viewed from the side. As shown in Fig. 6, the radius of curvature R1 of the second convex portion 180 on the tip side and the radius of curvature R2 on the base side of the board front part 141 of the slide board 140 are larger than the amount of protrusion V of the second convex portion 180 protruding from the front surface toward the seat back 106.

[0037] 6, a shock-absorbing material 182 is provided on the surface of the second convex portion 180 of the peripheral structure 100 for a slide board for a vehicle. The shock-absorbing material 182 is made of, for example, a felt material or a sponge.

[0038] Next, we will explain how to operate the vehicle slide board peripheral structure 100. To expand the luggage compartment, as shown in Figure 2, slide the rear seat 102 forward and then tilt the seat back 106 forward. This expands the luggage compartment to its maximum capacity.

[0039] When using the rear seat 102, the seat back 106 is raised and the rear seat 102 is slid rearward, as shown in FIG. 1. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the second convex portion 180 contacts only the two elongated members 172, 174 of the first convex portion 170, and does not contact the seat back 106 outside the range between these two elongated members 172, 174 (the range of the vehicle width direction dimension A in FIG. 5). This prevents the seat back 106 from being marked or scratched. Furthermore, because the first convex portion 170 is made of a hard material, friction generated between the first convex portion 170 and the board front portion 141 of the slide board 140 during the tilting operation of the seat back 106 is reduced, allowing the seat back 106 to be easily tilted.

[0040] Furthermore, the radius of curvature R1 on the tip side and the radius of curvature R2 on the base side of the board front part 141 of the slide board 140 at the second convex portion 180 are larger than the amount of protrusion V that the second convex portion 180 protrudes toward the seat back 106. Therefore, the first convex portion 170 is less likely to get caught when it comes into contact with the second convex portion 180, and the user can easily move the seat back 106.

[0041] Furthermore, since buffer material 182 is provided on the surface of second convex portion 180, it is possible to mitigate the impact when first convex portion 170 and second convex portion 180 come into contact with each other. This prevents marks or scratches from being left on seat back 106. It is also possible to reduce the generation of hitting sounds (contact sounds) when first convex portion 170 comes into contact with second convex portion 180.

[0042] The second convex portion 180 has a dimension in the vehicle width direction that is equal to the distance between the outer edges 172a and 174a on the vehicle width direction outer sides of the two elongated members 172 and 174 of the first convex portion 170, and therefore the width of the second convex portion 180 is wider than the combined width of the two elongated members 172 and 174. This improves the ability of the second convex portion 180 to absorb impacts.

[0043] Furthermore, the seat back 106 can also be used as an armrest, and the first convex portion 170 can also be used as a drink holder. If they are not used as both, a separate armrest and drink holder would be required, so the number of parts can be reduced compared to when they are not used as both, and an increase in labor hours and costs can be prevented.

[0044] Although the vehicle slide board peripheral structure 100 has been described above in connection with a case where the rear seat 102 has a seat back 106, the configuration is not limited to this. For example, the configuration of this embodiment can be applied even when the seat back 106 of the rear seat 102 is not a seat back but a board for a drink holder. In this case, the first convex portion 170 may be provided on the surface of the board for the drink holder.

[0045] While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to these examples. It is clear that those skilled in the art can conceive of various modifications and alterations within the scope of the claims, and it is understood that these modifications and alterations also fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0046] Furthermore, the present invention can be practiced by freely combining inventions described in the claims and examples, regardless of the dependent relationships of the claims. [Industrial Applicability]
