Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The technology disclosed herein relates to vehicle storage structures. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a configuration in which a storage recess is provided on the inner wall of a vehicle is known. For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses a configuration in which a storage box is recessed in a luggage side trim and a long strap extending laterally is attached to the front opening of the box. Attaching the strap to the opening of the box in this manner is said to prevent spray cans and other items stored in the box from falling out. The strap is fixed to the luggage trim by inserting both ends into insertion holes provided in both corners of the box and fastening them with screws to mounting bosses provided on the rear surface of the luggage trim. Alternatively, the strap can be attached to the luggage side trim by wrapping both ends around a rod-shaped shaft or resin plate and sewing them, then inserting them into the insertion holes and engaging the shaft with a shaft holder provided on the rear surface of the luggage side trim, or by changing the orientation of the resin plate and engaging the resin plate with the hole edge of the insertion hole. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-100797 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, with the above-described configuration, there is a problem that the exterior structure of the trim is easily visible through the gap between the insertion hole and the strap, which results in a poor appearance. In particular, when the above-described storage section is provided in a door trim or the like that constitutes the design surface of the passenger compartment of a vehicle, and further, when a courtesy lamp or a decorative lighting device is provided on the exterior side of the door trim, the exterior side of the door trim illuminated by the lighting device is easily visible through the gap between the insertion hole and the strap, which results in a problem that the appearance of the door trim is significantly impaired.

[0005] The technology disclosed in this specification was developed based on the above circumstances, and aims to provide a vehicle storage structure in which, even when a strip-shaped member is used to span the opening of a storage recess provided in a vehicle interior material, the vehicle exterior structure is difficult to see through an insertion hole for pulling out the strip-shaped member provided in the recess to the back side. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The technology disclosed in this specification, which was completed to solve the above-mentioned problems, is a vehicle storage structure comprising a recess that is recessed from the design surface of a vehicle interior material to the back surface side, and a flexible, longitudinal strip-shaped member attached so as to bridge the opening of the recess, wherein at least one of both end portions of the strip-shaped member is pulled out to the back surface side through a slit-shaped insertion hole provided on the inner surface of the recess, and a standing wall that rises up on the back surface side is provided on the outer hole edge portion of two longitudinal hole edge portions arranged opposite each other in the vehicle width direction of the insertion hole, and the end portion of the strip-shaped member is folded back to wrap around the standing wall and fixed to the outer side of the standing wall in the vehicle width direction.

[0007] According to the above configuration, when a seated passenger looks at the insertion hole from inside the vehicle cabin, only a portion of the belt-shaped member wrapped around the vertical wall is visible through the gap between the insertion hole and the belt-shaped member, making it difficult to see the vehicle exterior structure from inside the vehicle cabin. Furthermore, even when a lighting device, such as a courtesy lamp or interior decoration, is installed on the exterior of the vehicle interior material, the vertical wall prevents light from leaking through the insertion hole. Furthermore, since the insertion hole only needs to be large enough to allow the belt-shaped member to pass through, the dimensions of the insertion hole itself can be smaller than in conventional configurations in which a shaft or plate is attached to the end of the belt-shaped member and inserted into the insertion hole. Furthermore, the belt-shaped member can be easily fixed to the vertical wall without bending.

[0008] The standing wall may have an L-shaped cross section, with a base end side portion rising from the outer hole edge portion toward the back surface side, and a tip end side portion bending from the tip of the base end side portion in the rising direction and extending toward the inside of the insertion hole in the radial direction of the insertion hole.

[0009] According to the above configuration, the ease of fixing the belt-shaped member to the vertical wall, the degree to which the vertical wall and belt-shaped member block the insertion hole for the occupant, the ease of molding, etc. can be easily optimized by adjusting the angles of the base end side portion and the tip end side portion.

[0010] At least one end of the base end portion and the tip end portion in the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole may be bridged by a cross wall portion extending in a direction crossing the base end portion and the tip end portion.

[0011] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the strength of the curved shape of the base end side portion and the tip end side portion can be increased. Also, when a lighting device is provided on the outside of the vehicle cabin, by providing the cross wall portion on the side where the lighting device is provided, light from the side of the standing wall can be blocked by the cross wall portion, making it more difficult for light to leak from the insertion hole.

[0012] The leading end of the vertical wall in the rising direction may be aligned with the extending direction of the bridging portion of the strip-shaped member that spans the opening of the recess. With this configuration, the strip-shaped member can be aligned in a state of extending straight up to the folded portion (the leading end of the vertical wall). [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the technology disclosed in this specification, even when a strip-shaped member is used to span the opening of a storage recess provided in a vehicle interior material, it is possible to provide a vehicle storage structure in which the vehicle exterior structure is difficult to see through the insertion hole for pulling the strip-shaped member provided in the recess to the back side.

[0015] An embodiment of the technology disclosed in this specification will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 9. The vehicle storage structure of this embodiment is a door pocket 30 provided on the interior side of a front side door 10 of an automobile (vehicle) as a vehicle. In each figure, the directions indicated by arrows are: FR is the front of the vehicle, RR is the rear of the vehicle, IN is toward the interior, OUT is toward the exterior, UP is upward, and DW is downward.

[0016] First, the side door 10 including the door pocket 30 will be described. As shown in Fig. 1, an armrest 11 is provided on the interior surface of the side door 10 as a base for the occupant's elbows, and although not shown, the armrest 11 is provided with an inside handle or pull handle for opening and closing the side door 10, a switch base equipped with operation switches for opening and closing the window and locking and unlocking the side door 10, and the like. The side door 10 can be opened and closed freely by swinging relative to the vehicle body by a hinge mechanism 12 (see Fig. 2) provided at the front end.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 2, the side door 10 is configured by assembling two panels, a first panel 13 and a second panel (an example of a vehicle interior material) 14. The first panel 13 is the outermost panel of the automobile that constitutes the exterior of the automobile and is made of steel plate. The second panel 14 also serves as an interior member, that is, a panel that has a portion that constitutes the interior of the automobile (interior design surface). The side door 10 is configured such that the first panel 13 and the second panel 14 face each other, with no other panels interposed between them.

[0018] In this embodiment, the first panel 13 is made of a steel plate, but it may be made of other metals or resin. Examples of resins that can be used for the first panel 13 include fiber-reinforced resins (thermosetting resins such as unsaturated polyester, epoxy resins, polyamide resins, phenolic resins, etc., blended with glass fibers, carbon fibers, aramid fibers, polyethylene fibers, etc.), as well as polyacetal resins, polyamide resins, polycarbonate resins, polyimide resins, and ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin (polyethylene) resins.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, the second panel 14 is broadly composed of two panel members 15 and 20. One panel member 15 is generally frame-shaped and includes the portion near the outer periphery of the second panel 14, and functions as a base member (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "base member 15") to which the other panel member 20 is attached and various functional components are attached. In this embodiment, the panel member 20 is made of resin, while the base member 15 is made of aluminum alloy and is aluminum die-cast. Note that examples of resins used for the panel member 20 include polypropylene resin, polyethylene resin, polystyrene resin, polyester resin, and resins obtained by blending these resins with natural fibers.

[0020] The base member 15 includes a main body 16 whose plate surface faces the interior and exterior of the vehicle, and protruding portions 18 that protrude from the front, bottom, and rear ends of the main body 16. The main body 16 has an opening 17, giving it a generally rectangular frame shape. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a front portion 16A of the main body 16 is exposed to the interior of the vehicle and forms the interior design surface.

[0021] The other panel member 20 is made of resin as described above, and is attached to the interior side of the base member 15 so as to cover the opening 17 of the base member 15. In other words, almost the entire panel member 20 constitutes the interior design surface 20A. This panel member 20 does not cover the entire interior side of the door panel like the door trim in the conventional side door 10, but is similar to that door trim and will be referred to as the trim member 20 in the following description.

[0022] The trim member 20 includes the armrest 11 described above, and the door pocket 30 of this embodiment is provided below the armrest 11. As shown in Fig. 3, an armrest member 21 that forms the armrest 11 is attached to the trim member 20, and a pocket board member 22 that forms part of the inner surface of the door pocket 30 is also attached to the trim member 20. Although the peripheral edge of the trim member 20 overlaps with the interior side of the vehicle of the base member 15 (the opening edge of the opening 17), most of the trim member 20 is not overlapped by other panel members on the exterior side and directly faces the first panel 13.

[0023] 2, the exterior side of the second panel 14 holds three longitudinal reinforcing members 23 extending in the front-to-rear direction, a window 24 including a plate-shaped window glass 25 and a regulator 26 that is a drive source for raising and lowering the window glass 25, a wire 26A connecting the regulator 26 to a switch base, and a wire 27A connecting a locking device 27 that locks and unlocks the side door 10 to the vehicle body to the inside handle. The first panel 13 is attached to the second panel 14 so as to cover these from the exterior side. The first panel 13 is detachably attached to the second panel 14 by a plurality of clips or fasteners 29 attached to a plurality of clip seats 28 arranged on the periphery of the first panel 13.

[0024] Next, the configuration of the door pocket (an example of a vehicle storage structure) 30 will be described. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the door pocket 30 is configured to include a recess 31 recessed from the interior surface (design surface 20A) of the trim member 20 toward the back surface 20B, and two band-shaped rubber bands (an example of band-shaped members) 48 attached so as to span the opening of the recess 31 in the front-rear direction. The rubber bands 48 are flexible and stretchable.

[0025] 1, the recess 31 of the door pocket 30 has a generally parallelogram shape in a front view with its upper rear corners extending rearward. Specifically, the recess 31 is recessed and includes a bottom wall 32 that extends generally horizontally and forms the bottom of the door pocket 30, a front wall 33 (an example of an inner surface) that rises obliquely rearward from the front end of the bottom wall 32, a rear wall 34 (an example of an inner surface) that rises obliquely rearward from the rear end of the bottom wall 32, a rear wall 35 that rises from the end of the bottom wall 32 on the exterior side of the vehicle compartment and connects the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34, and an upper wall 36 that connects the upper ends of the front wall 33, the rear wall 35, and the rear wall 34. The front wall 33 and the rear wall 34 of the recess 31 are inclined from the vehicle width direction in directions in which the opening sides of the recess 31 move away from each other so that the diameter of the opening side (interior side) of the recess 31 increases. The recess 31 has a curved shape in which the walls constituting the recess 31 are connected to each other in a gentle R shape. The bottom wall 32 is formed by the pocket board member 22 described above.

[0026] Two slit-shaped insertion holes 37 extending generally vertically along the opening edge of the recess 31 are provided in the front wall 33 near the edge of the recess 31 and in the rear wall 34 near the edge of the recess 31, respectively, at the center of the recess 31 in the height direction and below the center (see FIG. 6 ). That is, when the insertion holes 37 are viewed from inside the vehicle cabin, the two insertion holes 37 in the front wall 33 open obliquely downward and toward the interior of the vehicle cabin, while the two insertion holes 37 in the rear wall 34 open obliquely upward and toward the interior of the vehicle cabin. Two band-shaped rubber bands 48 are attached so as to span the opening of the recess 31 in the front-rear direction, with both ends inserted through the insertion holes 37. That is, both ends of the two rubber bands 48 are pulled out toward the rear surface 20B of the trim member 20 through the insertion holes 37 (see FIG. 7 ).

[0027] 1, the two rubber bands 48 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, each extending in the front-to-rear direction, and generally covering the lower portion of the opening of the recess 31. If the portion of each rubber band 48 bridging the opening of the recess 31 (the portion exposed inside the vehicle cabin) is referred to as a bridging portion 48A, then both ends of the bridging portion 48A are exposed inside the recess 31 at an angle relative to the extension direction of the rubber bands 48 (front-to-rear direction) when viewed from the front.

[0028] On the rear surface 20B side of the trim member 20, a standing wall 40 is provided that enables an end of a rubber band 48 that is inserted through the insertion hole 37 and drawn out to the rear surface 20B side of the trim member 20 to be fixed to the trim member 20 (see FIGS. 5 and 8). Below, of the two insertion holes 37 provided next to each other in the vertical direction in the front wall portion 33 and the two insertion holes 37 provided next to each other in the vertical direction in the rear wall portion 34 (a total of four insertion holes 37), the standing wall 40 provided adjacent to the insertion hole 37 arranged above the rear wall portion 34 will be specifically described. Note that similar standing walls 40 are provided adjacent to the remaining three insertion holes 37 as well.

[0029] 5, the standing wall 40 has a longitudinal shape with an L-shaped cross section, including a base end side portion 41 that rises from an outer hole edge portion 38, which is disposed on the outer side of the passenger compartment in the vehicle width direction, toward the back surface 20B of the rear wall portion 34 in a direction approximately perpendicular to the plate surface of the rear wall portion 34, and a tip end side portion 42 that bends at an approximately right angle from a tip end side in the rising direction of the base end side portion 41 (an end portion disposed on the opposite side of the insertion hole 37) and extends toward the inside of the insertion hole 37 in the radial direction of the insertion hole 37. In other words, the base end side portion 41 extends obliquely rearward from the outer hole edge portion 38, and the tip end side portion 42 extends obliquely forward from the base end side portion 41. The dimension of the rise of the tip side portion 42 from the base side portion 41 is set so that, when the rubber band 48 is inserted into the insertion hole 37, the rubber band 48 abuts against the tip 42A of the tip side portion 42 without bending at the edge of the insertion hole 37, i.e., so that the tip 42A of the tip side portion 42 is arranged on the same line as the extending direction of the bridging portion 48A. In addition, both ends of the base side portion 41 and the tip side portion 42 in the extending direction of the insertion hole 37 are bridged and closed by a cross wall portion 43 that extends in a direction intersecting the base side portion 41 and the tip side portion 42 (see FIG. 8).

[0030] As shown in Fig. 5, the rubber band 48 is pulled out from the inside of the vehicle cabin through the insertion hole 37 toward the rear surface 20B of the rear wall portion 34 and reaches the tip 42A of the tip side portion 42 of the standing wall 40. Then, the rubber band 48 is folded back along the outer surface of the tip side portion 42 (the surface facing the outside of the vehicle cabin) and is bent along the outer surface of the base side portion 41 at the boundary (bending portion) between the base side portion 41 and the tip side portion 42. Three mounting bosses 44 are provided in a row on the outer surface of the base side portion 41, and the ends of the rubber band 48 are passed through these mounting bosses 44 and fixed to the trim member 20 by fixing means such as thermal caulking (see Fig. 9). In this state, the rubber band 48 extends linearly from the bridging portion 48A to the tip of the standing wall 40, forming a triangular space between the standing wall 40, which has a generally L-shaped cross section.

[0031] With the rubber band 48 attached to the trim member 20 in this manner, even if the occupant can see the back of the insertion hole 37 (the exterior side of the trim member 20), as shown in Fig. 5, all that the occupant can see from their line of sight is the rubber band 48 arranged in front of the standing wall 40 rising from the outer hole edge 38 of the insertion hole 37, and therefore the interior design is not significantly impaired. Also, even if a lighting device such as a courtesy lamp or a line light for decorating the interior of the vehicle is provided on the exterior side of the trim member 20, the insertion hole 37 is blocked in the direction of the occupant's line of sight by the standing wall 40 (rubber band 48), and therefore the insertion hole 37 is prevented from being brightly illuminated from the exterior side of the vehicle. Furthermore, compared to a conventional configuration in which a shaft or plate is sewn to the end of the rubber band 48 and then passed through the insertion hole 37, this configuration involves inserting only the rubber band 48 and then fixing the end to the standing wall 40, so the insertion hole 37 itself only needs to be formed to a size that allows only the rubber band 48 to pass through, allowing the insertion hole 37 to have a smaller opening dimension than in the past. Furthermore, because the end of the rubber band 48 can be fixed along the standing wall 40 while being pulled slightly, the rubber band 48 can be easily fixed to the trim member 20 without bending.

[0032] Next, the effects will be described. The door pocket 30 of this embodiment includes a recess 31 recessed from the design surface 20A of the trim member 20 toward the back surface 20B, and a flexible, stretchable, elongated rubber band 48 attached so as to bridge the opening of the recess 31. Both ends of the rubber band 48 are drawn out to the back surface 20B of the trim member 20 through slit-shaped insertion holes 37 formed in the front wall portion 33 and the rear wall portion 34 of the recess 31. Of the two elongated hole edges arranged opposite each other in the insertion hole 37, an outer hole edge portion 38 arranged on the outer side in the vehicle width direction is provided with a standing wall 40 rising toward the back surface 20B of the trim member 20. An end of the rubber band 48 is folded back so as to wrap around the standing wall 40 and is fixed to the outer side (outer surface) of the standing wall 40 in the vehicle width direction.

[0033] According to the above configuration, when a seated passenger looks at the insertion hole 37 from inside the vehicle cabin, only a portion of the rubber band 48 wrapped around the standing wall 40 is visible through the gap between the insertion hole 37 and the rubber band 48, making it difficult to see the exterior structure of the vehicle cabin from inside the vehicle cabin. Furthermore, even if a courtesy lamp or other lighting device for interior decoration is installed on the outside of the trim member 20 (second panel 14), the standing wall 40 can prevent light from leaking through the insertion hole 37. Furthermore, since the insertion hole 37 only needs to be large enough to allow the rubber band 48 to pass through, the dimensions of the insertion hole 37 can be made smaller than in a conventional configuration in which a shaft or plate is attached to the end of the rubber band 48 and inserted into the insertion hole 37. Furthermore, the rubber band 48 can be easily fixed to the standing wall 40 without bending.

[0034] The standing wall 40 has an L-shaped cross section, and includes a base end side portion 41 that rises from the outer hole edge portion 38 toward the back surface 20B of the trim member 20, and a tip end side portion 42 that bends from the tip of the base end side portion 41 in the rising direction and extends toward the inside of the insertion hole 37 in the radial direction of the insertion hole 37.

[0035] With this configuration, the ease of fixing the rubber band 48 to the standing wall 40, the degree to which the standing wall 40 and the rubber band 48 block the insertion hole 37 for the occupant, the ease of molding, etc. can be easily optimized by adjusting the angles of the base end side portion 41 and the tip end side portion 42.

[0036] Both ends of the base end portion 41 and the tip end portion 42 in the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 37 are bridged by a cross wall portion 43 extending in a direction intersecting the base end portion 41 and the tip end portion 42. This configuration can increase the strength of the curved shape of the base end portion 41 and the tip end portion 42. Furthermore, when a lighting device is provided on the outside of the vehicle cabin, the cross wall portion 43 can block light from the sides of the standing wall 40, making it even more difficult for light to leak from the insertion hole 37.

[0037] The tip of the standing wall 40 in the rising direction (tip 42A of tip side portion 42) is aligned with the extending direction of the bridging portion 48A of the rubber band 48 that spans the opening of the recess 31. With this configuration, the rubber band 48 can be aligned in a state where it extends straight up to the folded portion (tip 42A of the standing wall 40).

[0038] <Other embodiments> The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the embodiments described above and illustrated in the drawings, and the following embodiments, for example, are also included in the technical scope.

[0039] (1) In the above embodiment, the standing wall 40 rises in an L-shape from the outer hole edge 38 of the insertion hole 37. However, the standing wall 140 may rise in an I-shape, as shown in FIG. 10 . In this case, the strip-shaped member 48 may be folded back at the tip of the standing wall 140 and fixed to the outer surface of the standing wall 140. Furthermore, even when the standing wall is L-shaped, the angle of the standing wall is not limited to that of the above embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11 , the angle can be freely set depending on the ease of fixing the strip-shaped member 48 to the standing wall 240, the degree to which the standing wall 240 and the strip-shaped member 48 block the insertion hole 37 for the occupant, the ease of molding, and the like.

[0040] (2) In the above embodiment, the cross wall portion 43 is provided at the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the standing wall 40, but the cross wall portion may be omitted.

[0041] (3) In the above embodiment, a mounting boss 44 is provided on the outer surface of the vertical wall 40 of the vehicle interior, and the end of the rubber band 48 is fixed by heat crimping or the like. However, the method of fixing the strip-shaped member to the vertical wall is not limited to the above embodiment, and other fixing means such as screw fastening, heat welding, US crimping, etc. may also be used.

[0042] (4) The shape of the recess 31 of the door pocket 30, the number of rubber bands 48, the angle at which they are hung across the opening, etc. can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the band-shaped member is not limited to the rubber band 48, and various flexible band-shaped members such as leather bands and cloth bands can be used. [Explanation of symbols]
