Description

Technical Field

[0001] The technology disclosed in this specification relates to a vehicle storage structure.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, for example, a configuration in which a recess for storage is provided on the interior side wall of a vehicle is known. For example, in Patent Document 1 below, a box-shaped storage box that opens toward the vehicle interior is recessed in a cover that covers the left and right portions of the rear space behind the rear seat from the interior side. This storage box includes a first belt and a second belt that extend from a wall portion that forms the bottom surface (the back side surface). The first belt and the second belt are configured such that both ends of a single continuous belt are drawn into the storage box from the back side through two through holes provided in the wall portion of the storage box. Among the continuous belts, a connecting portion (the portion arranged on the back side of the wall portion) that connects the first belt and the second belt is fixed by heat caulking with a washer to a boss-shaped locking portion provided on the wall portion of the storage box.

[0003] An article to be stored in such a storage box is wound around the first belt and the second belt and fastened to each other with a fastener, thereby maintaining the stored state.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, with the configuration of Patent Document 1 described above, if a strong load is applied to the storage box in the direction of removing the stored items due to an impact such as sudden acceleration or collision of the vehicle, the continuous belt may be pulled by the weight of the stored items, causing the storage box to deform or the locking part of the continuous belt to break, which could cause the stored items to fall out of the storage box.

[0006] The technology disclosed herein was developed based on the circumstances described above, and aims to provide a vehicle storage structure in which stored items in a storage compartment accessible from inside the vehicle are less likely to fall out of the compartment due to impacts such as sudden acceleration or collisions of the vehicle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The technology disclosed herein, completed to solve the above problems, is a vehicle storage structure comprising: a storage unit body disposed on the outside of the vehicle interior of an opening provided in the interior material of the vehicle, which is accessible from the inside of the vehicle interior through an opening provided in the vehicle interior material and capable of storing items to be stored; and a flexible, elongated, strip-shaped member capable of holding the items stored in the storage unit body relative to the storage unit body, wherein the strip-shaped member is attached to the vehicle body together with the storage unit body.

[0008] With the above configuration, even if a strong load is applied to the storage unit body in the direction of removing the stored items due to the impact of sudden acceleration or collision of the vehicle, the strip-shaped member that holds the stored items to the storage unit body is attached to the vehicle body, which has relatively high strength, together with the storage unit body. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the strip-shaped member is attached to the storage unit body, which has relatively low strength, the storage unit body is less likely to deform or the attachment part to be damaged, and thus the stored items are less likely to fall out of the storage unit body. In addition, since the storage unit body and the strip-shaped member can be attached to the body at the same time, the ease of installation is improved.

[0009] The storage compartment body may be formed from a foamed bead molded body made of foamed beads. With such a configuration, the storage compartment body can be made lighter. In addition, since the items to be stored can be stored in a relatively soft storage compartment body, the items to be stored are held in a good position, and the items to be stored are less likely to come out of the storage compartment body due to impacts such as sudden acceleration or collisions of the vehicle.

[0010] The mounting surface of the storage unit body on which the stored items are placed may be inclined toward the interior of the vehicle and toward downward. With this configuration, when the storage items stored and held in the storage unit body are released from their holding state by the strip-shaped member, it is easy for them to slide out toward the interior of the vehicle, eliminating the need to insert a hand into the storage unit body through the opening to remove the stored items, thus providing superior convenience. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to insert a hand into the storage unit body through the opening, the size of the opening can be set to the minimum size necessary to insert and remove the stored items.

[0011] The end of the mounting surface on the vehicle interior side may be positioned below the lower edge of the opening in the vehicle interior material. With this configuration, the stored item that slides out from the mounting surface will catch on the lower edge of the opening, thus preventing the stored item from completely flying out of the opening and falling into the vehicle interior. Furthermore, when removing the stored item, the upper part of the stored item that has already come out of the opening can be grasped, making the removal process easier.

[0012] The aforementioned strip-shaped member is a fastener band that constitutes a hook-and-loop fastener, with a hook portion provided on at least one end of one surface, and a loop portion that can engage with the hook portion provided on the other part of the surface, and a folding ring may be provided at the other end. With this configuration, the stored item can be easily held in place by the storage unit body, or released from that state.

[0013] The storage unit body and the strip-shaped member may be attached to the body by inserting a stud bolt provided on the body side into a grommet fitted into a through hole that penetrates both the storage unit body and the strip-shaped member.

[0014] The grommet may be composed of a first member including a cylindrical outer portion that can be fitted into the through hole and a first flange portion extending radially outward at one end of the outer portion, and a second member including an inner portion that fits inside the outer portion and into which the stud bolt can be fitted and a second flange portion extending radially outward at the other end of the inner portion. With such a configuration, the grommet can be securely attached to the two members, the storage body and the strip-shaped member. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The technology disclosed herein provides a vehicle storage structure in which stored items in a storage compartment accessible from the inside of the vehicle are less likely to fall out of the compartment due to impacts such as sudden acceleration or collisions of the vehicle.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] A vehicle storage structure (an example of a vehicle storage structure) 1 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. In the following description, the lower left corner of the paper in FIG. 1 is taken as the front side (FR) of the vehicle, and the upper right corner is taken as the rear side (RR) of the vehicle. Also, up and down refer to the vertical direction of the vehicle (the vertical direction in FIG. 1, UP, DW), and left and right refer to the left and right directions (L, R) in the vehicle traveling direction, respectively. Further, for a plurality of identical parts, one part may be labeled with a reference numeral, and the reference numeral may be omitted for other parts.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a luggage compartment 10 provided at the rear of a vehicle (an example of a vehicle) as viewed obliquely from the front of the vehicle. This luggage compartment 10 is accessible from a vehicle rear opening 11 in a state where a vehicle rear door (not shown) is opened.

[0019] The luggage compartment 10 is a space surrounded by deck side trims (an example of vehicle interior materials) 12R and 12L that form a part of the rear surface from the left and right side surfaces of the luggage compartment 10, a finish plate 13 arranged between the left and right deck side trims 12R and 12L at the rear surface to form a central portion, a deck board 14 that forms the floor surface, and a luggage front trim 15 that forms the front surface.

[0020] Storage sections 20 are provided on the left and right sides of the luggage compartment 10 at the portions of the deck side trims 12R and 12L that form the rear surface of the luggage compartment 10 (see FIG. 2). Hereinafter, the storage section 20R arranged on the right deck side trim 12R will be described.

[0021] As shown in Figure 2, the storage compartment 20R is accessible from the inside of the vehicle (luggage compartment 10) through a trim-side opening (an example of an opening) 16 that opens on the rear surface of the deck side trim 12R, and is intended for storing specific items such as a repair kit provided in the vehicle. The trim-side opening 16 can be closed from the inside of the vehicle by a lid 17 (see Figure 1). The storage compartment 20R is composed of a frame 21, which is a separate component from the deck side trim 12R and is located on the outside of the trim-side opening 16, and a storage compartment body 30 (see Figures 4 and 5).

[0022] The frame 21 is a frame-shaped member positioned to reinforce the trim-side opening 16 of the deck-side trim 12R from the outside of the vehicle interior, and has a frame-side opening 22 that communicates with the trim-side opening 16 at a position corresponding to the trim-side opening 16. The frame-side opening 22 is slightly smaller overall than the trim-side opening 16, so that the opening edge of the frame-side opening 22 is exposed inside the trim-side opening 16.

[0023] A portion of the opening edge of the frame-side opening 22 protrudes significantly in a box shape toward the inside of the trim-side opening 16 (see Figure 3). If this box-shaped protruding portion is called the overhang 23, the inside of the overhang 23 opens toward the inside of the vehicle interior. As a result, the inside of the trim-side opening 16 is divided into a first storage section 24 surrounded by this box-shaped overhang 23 and a second storage section 25, which is the portion other than the first storage section 24. Inside the overhang 23 (first storage section 24), a locking claw 26 is provided for locking a cylindrical item to be stored (not shown).

[0024] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the storage compartment body 30 is located on the outside of the vehicle interior of the frame 21. More specifically, as shown in Figure 6, the storage compartment body 30 includes a rear wall 31 located inward when viewed from the trim-side opening 16 that opens on the rear surface of the deck-side trim 12R, a bottom wall 32 extending inward from the lower end of the rear wall 31, a right vertical wall 33R and a left vertical wall 33L rising upward from both ends of the bottom wall 32 in the vehicle width direction, and a right support wall 34R and a left support wall 34L rising inward from the rear wall 31 above the right vertical wall 33R and the left vertical wall 33L.

[0025] This storage compartment body 30 constitutes the second storage compartment 25 described above, and is a part for storing specific bottle-shaped items M1, such as tire repair kits containing puncture repair fluid. The items M1 placed on the bottom wall 32 of this storage compartment body 30 are supported from the sides by the right vertical wall 33R and the left vertical wall 33L at the lower part, and by the right support wall 34R and the left support wall 34L at the upper part, thereby maintaining a stable posture in the vehicle width direction (see Figure 7).

[0026] Furthermore, the storage compartment body 30 is formed from a foamed bead molded body made of foamed beads of an olefin resin such as polypropylene, and is lower in density and more elastic than the deck side trim 12 and frame 21.

[0027] The storage compartment body 30 is positioned on the exterior side of the trim-side opening 16, facing the trim-side opening 16. The storage compartment body 30 is fixed to the inner panel (an example of a body) 18 of the vehicle body, which is positioned on the exterior side of the storage compartment body 30. Specifically, a flat rectangular recess 35 is formed in the back wall 31 of the storage compartment body 30, and two through holes 36 are formed side by side in the left-right direction, penetrating through the plate thickness direction. Grommets 40 are fitted into each of these through holes 36. The storage compartment body 30 is then fixed to the vehicle body (inner panel 18) by fitting stud bolts 19 provided on the inner panel 18 into these grommets 40 (see Figures 4 and 5).

[0028] The grommet 40 described above is constructed by combining a first member 41 and a second member 45 (see Figure 8). The first member 41 includes a cylindrical outer cylinder portion 42 whose outer circumference can be fitted into the through hole 36, a nonwoven fabric 43 wound around the outer circumference of the outer cylinder portion 42, and a first flange portion 44 extending radially outward along the outer peripheral edge of the through hole 36 at the outer end of the outer cylinder portion 42 on the passenger compartment side. The second member 45 includes a cylindrical inner cylinder portion 46 whose outer circumference can be fitted inside the outer cylinder portion 42 described above, and a second flange portion 47 extending radially outward at the inner end of the inner cylinder portion 46 on the passenger compartment side. The inner diameter of the inner cylinder portion 46 is set to a size that allows a stud bolt 19 provided on the inner panel 18 side to be fitted inside.

[0029] The grommet 40 is attached to the back wall 31 of the storage compartment body 30 by inserting the first member 41 into the through hole 36 from the outside of the vehicle interior, and then fitting the inner cylindrical portion 46 of the second member 45 into the outer cylindrical portion 42 of the first member 41 from the inside of the vehicle interior and engaging the claws. The storage compartment body 30 is then attached to the inner panel 18 by fitting the stud bolt 19 protruding from the inner panel 18 into the grommet 40 from the outside of the vehicle interior.

[0030] When the storage unit body 30 is fixed to the inner panel 18 in its normal position, the bottom wall 32 is positioned so as to be slightly inclined downward toward the interior of the vehicle, as shown in Figure 5. Accordingly, the interior surface of the rear wall 31 rises almost perpendicularly from the bottom wall 32 and is slightly inclined upward toward the interior of the vehicle. The exterior surface of the rear wall 31 and the interior surface of the recess 35 are positioned almost vertically. Furthermore, when the storage unit body 30 is fixed to the inner panel 18 in its normal position, the bottom wall 32 is positioned below the lower opening edges (lower edges 16A and 22A) of the trim-side opening 16 and the frame-side opening 22.

[0031] Furthermore, a surface-mounting portion 37 is provided protruding from the exterior surface of the rear wall 31 of the storage compartment body 30, which forms an appropriate gap between the rear wall 31 and the inner panel 18 when the storage compartment body 30 is attached to the inner panel 18, and is necessary for fixing the two together.

[0032] In this embodiment, the storage compartment body 30 is provided with a fastener band (an example of a strip-shaped member) 50 that can secure the stored item M1 stored in the storage compartment body 30 by tightening it against the storage compartment body 30 (see Figures 3 to 5 and 7). The fastener band 50 is a long, flexible strip-shaped member, and is a hook-and-loop fastener in which a hook portion is provided on one end of at least one side, and a loop portion that can engage with the hook portion is provided on the other side of the same side. The other end of the fastener band 50 (the end opposite the hook portion) is provided with a square ring (an example of a ring) 51 for folding the band back. After wrapping the fastener band 50 around the outer circumference of the stored item M1, one end of the fastener band 50 (the end opposite the square ring 51) is passed through the inside of the square ring 51 and reversed, and the hook portion and loop portion are engaged to an appropriate length, thereby allowing the stored item M1 to be tightened and secured.

[0033] The zipper band 50 is attached to the inner panel 18 together with the storage compartment body 30. Specifically, the approximately central portion of the zipper band 50 in the longitudinal direction is positioned within a recess 35 in the back wall 31 of the storage compartment body 30, and band-side through holes 52 are provided in the portions corresponding to the two through holes 36 formed in the recess 35 of the back wall 31. By inserting the grommets 40 described above through these band-side through holes 52, the zipper band 50 is fastened together with the storage compartment body 30 to the inner panel 18.

[0034] When storing a specific bottle-shaped item M1 in the storage section 20R of this embodiment, first, the lid 17 that closes the trim-side opening 16 of the storage section 20R is removed, and the item M1 is inserted into the second storage section 25 and placed on the bottom wall 32 of the storage section body 30. Then, the zipper band 50 extending from the back wall 31 is wrapped around the outer circumference of the item M1, and the other end of the zipper band 50 (the end opposite to the square ring 51) is passed inside the square ring 51 provided on one end of the zipper band 50 and reversed to tighten the item M1. After that, the item M1 is fixed to the storage section body 30 by engaging the zipper band 50 (hook and loop) to an appropriate length. Then, if necessary, a specific cylindrical item is stored in the first storage section 24, and then the lid 17 is attached to close the storage section 20R.

[0035] In this configuration, if a vehicle with the stored item M1 stored in the storage compartment 20R is subjected to a strong load in the direction of removing the stored item M1 due to an impact such as sudden acceleration or collision, a strong load will also be applied to the zipper band 50. However, since the zipper band 50 in this embodiment is attached to the vehicle body (inner panel 18), which is relatively strong, along with the storage compartment body 30, the storage compartment body 30 is less likely to deform or the attachment part to break, compared to a configuration where it is attached to the storage compartment body 30, which is made of a relatively weak foamed bead molded body. In other words, the stored item M1 is less likely to fall out due to an impact such as sudden acceleration or collision of the vehicle.

[0036] On the other hand, when removing the stored item M1 from the storage compartment 20R, the lid 17 that covers the storage compartment 20R is removed, and the fastener band 50 is released to release the fastening to the stored item M1. As a result, the stored item M1, which is placed on the bottom wall 32 of the storage compartment body 30 that slopes toward the front and downwards of the vehicle, slides out into the vehicle interior due to gravity or tilts forward as shown in Figure 5, so that the stored item M1 can be easily removed without inserting a hand into the storage compartment 20R. At this time, the front end of the bottom wall 32 of the storage compartment body 30 is positioned below the lower edges 16A and 22A of the trim-side opening 16 and the frame-side opening 22, so that the frictional force between the bottom wall 32 of the storage compartment body 30 and the stored item M1 prevents the stored item M1 from unintentionally sliding out of the storage compartment 20R into the cargo compartment 10.

[0037] The above describes the storage compartment 20R located on the right deck side trim 12R. The storage compartment 20L located on the left deck side trim 12L is shown in Figure 9. In the following, only the configurations that differ from the right storage compartment 20R will be described, and common components will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0038] The right-side storage compartment 20R is configured to store cylindrical items M1, while the left-side storage compartment 20L stores rectangular, box-shaped items M2, such as a compressor. The storage compartment body 60 is equipped with walls capable of supporting the items M2 from the sides and below. Specifically, as shown in Figure 10, the storage compartment body 60 includes a rear wall 61 located at the back when viewed from the trim-side opening 16, a bottom wall 62 extending into the vehicle interior from the lower end of the rear wall 61, and a right vertical wall 63R and a left vertical wall 63L rising upward from both ends of the bottom wall 62 in the vehicle width direction. In addition, a surface protection portion 67 is provided protruding from the outer surface of the rear wall 31 of the storage compartment body 60. The storage compartment body 60 is shaped to accommodate specific box-shaped items M2.

[0039] Among the back walls 61 of the storage unit main body 60, between the two through holes 66, a ridge 68 that protrudes in a flat rectangular shape toward the vehicle interior is formed. The distance L2 between the two through holes 66 is set to be shorter than the distance L1 between the two through holes 36 of the right storage unit main body 30 described above (L2 < L1). The fastener band 50 arranged in a manner bridging between the two through holes 66 is arranged on the ridge 68 so as to bulge from the main surface of the back wall 61 toward the vehicle interior as shown in FIG. 9, so that the dimensional difference between L1 and L2 is absorbed. That is, it is possible to use the common fastener band 50 used in the right storage unit 20R.

[0040] The vehicle storage structure 1 of this embodiment is as described above. Next, the operation and effect will be described. The vehicle storage structure 1 of this embodiment is accessible from the vehicle interior side through the trim side opening 16 provided in the deck side trim 12R, and includes a storage unit main body 30 arranged on the vehicle exterior side of the trim side opening 16 that can store the stored item M1, and a flexible longitudinal fastener band 50 that can hold the stored item M1 stored in the storage unit main body 30 with respect to the storage unit main body 30. The fastener band 50 is attached to the inner panel 18 of the vehicle together with the storage unit main body 30.

[0041] According to the above configuration, even when a strong load is applied to the storage unit main body 30 in the direction of taking out the stored item M1 due to an impact such as a sudden acceleration or collision of the vehicle, the fastener band 50 holding the stored item M1 with respect to the storage unit main body 30 is attached to the inner panel 18 of the vehicle, which has relatively high strength, together with the storage unit main body 30. Therefore, compared with the configuration in which the fastener band 50 is attached to the storage unit main body 30 having relatively low strength, it is difficult for the storage unit main body 30 to be deformed or the attachment part to be damaged, and thus it is difficult for the stored item M1 to fall from the storage unit main body 30. In addition, since the storage unit main body 30 and the fastener band 50 can be simultaneously attached to the inner panel 18, the attachment workability is improved.

[0042] Furthermore, the storage compartment body 30 is formed from a foamed bead molded body made of foamed beads. With this configuration, the storage compartment body 30 can be made lighter. In addition, since the stored item M1 can be stored in the relatively soft and elastic storage compartment body 30, the stored item M1 is held in a good position, and the stored item M1 is less likely to come out of the storage compartment body 30 due to sudden acceleration of the vehicle or impacts such as collisions.

[0043] Furthermore, the mounting surface (upper surface of the bottom wall 32) of the storage compartment body 30 on which the stored item M1 is placed is inclined toward the interior of the vehicle and toward downward. With this configuration, when the storage item M1 stored and held in the storage compartment body 30 is released from its holding state by the zipper band 50, it is easy for the stored item M1 to slide out toward the interior of the vehicle. Therefore, it is not necessary to insert a hand into the storage compartment body 30 through the trim-side opening 16 to remove the stored item M1, which is highly convenient. In addition, since it is not necessary to insert a hand into the storage compartment body 30 through the trim-side opening 16, the size of the trim-side opening 16 can be set to the minimum size necessary to insert and remove the stored item M1.

[0044] Furthermore, the interior-side end of the bottom wall 32 is positioned below the lower edge 16A of the trim-side opening 16 of the deck-side trim 12R. With this configuration, the frictional force between the bottom wall 32 of the storage compartment body 30 and the stored item M1, combined with the frictional force between the stored item M1 and the bottom wall 32, causes the stored item M1 to catch on the lower edge 16A of the trim-side opening 16 as it slides out from the bottom wall 32, thus preventing the stored item M1 from completely flying out of the trim-side opening 16 and falling into the passenger compartment. In addition, when removing the stored item M1, the upper part of the stored item M1 that has previously slid out of the trim-side opening 16 can be grasped, making the removal process easy.

[0045] Furthermore, the fastener band 50 is a hook-and-loop fastener in which a hook portion is provided on one end of at least one side, and a loop portion that can engage with the hook portion is provided on the other side of the other side, and a square ring 51 for folding back is provided at the other end. With this configuration, the stored item M1 can be easily held in place by the storage unit body 30, and the held state can be easily released.

[0046] Furthermore, the storage compartment body 30 and the zipper band 50 are attached to the inner panel 18 by fitting stud bolts 19 provided on the inner panel 18 into grommets 40 fitted into through holes 36 and 52 that pass through both the storage compartment body 30 and the zipper band 50.

[0047] Furthermore, the grommet 40 is composed of a first member 41, which includes a cylindrical outer cylinder portion 42 that can be fitted into the through holes 36 and 52, and a first flange portion 44 that extends radially outward from one end of the outer cylinder portion 42; and a second member 45, which includes an inner cylinder portion 46 that fits inside the outer cylinder portion 42 and into which the stud bolt 19 can be fitted, and a second flange portion 47 that extends radially outward from the other end of the inner cylinder portion 46. With this configuration, the grommet 40 can be securely attached to the two members, the storage unit body 30 and the fastener band 50.
