Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the interior structure of a cab provided in a vehicle.

Background Art

[0002] In commercial vehicles such as trucks, drivers and passengers may eat, drink, or take breaks inside the vehicle. Conventionally, in order to improve the convenience and comfort of eating and drinking inside the cab where the driver's seat of a truck is provided, a structure has been known in which a pull-out utility tray is provided on an instrument panel (also referred to as an IP panel or a dashboard) provided in front of the driver's seat (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] The utility tray of Patent Document 1 has an opening forming a drink holder for holding a beverage container and a flat surface on which food or the like can be placed. When in use, it is pulled out from the instrument panel, and when not in use, it is stored in the instrument panel. By the way, when a driver or a passenger takes a break in a vehicle, in addition to eating and drinking, they may also use a portable terminal device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. As a technology for placing a portable terminal device inside a vehicle, for example, a structure in which a drink holder is used as a placement location for a smartphone (see, for example, Patent Document 2 below) or a structure in which a smartphone is placed on a tray forming the bottom surface of a pull-out drink holder (see, for example, Patent Document 3 below) is known.

Summary of the Invention

[0005] However, when a mobile device is placed on a flat tray as in Patent Documents 1 and 3, the device is simply placed lying flat on the flat surface, making it inconvenient to use the device, such as operating it or viewing its screen. Also, in a structure where a smartphone is placed in a drink holder, as in Patent Document 2, the drink holder becomes unusable when a mobile device is placed on it. Furthermore, mobile devices may shut down in high or low temperatures. Therefore, it is desirable to minimize the effects of heat when using mobile devices inside a vehicle.

[0006] Therefore, in the structure for placing items such as food and beverages and portable terminal devices inside the cab of a vehicle, there was room for improvement in terms of the ease of use of portable terminal devices. This invention was conceived in light of the above-mentioned issues, and one of its objectives is to improve the usability of portable terminal devices in the interior structure of the cab installed in a vehicle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] This project was undertaken to solve at least some of the above-mentioned problems and can be implemented in the following forms or applications.

[0008] This application example is an interior structure of a cab provided in a vehicle, comprising an instrument panel that forms part of the interior of the cab, an air conditioning vent located in front of the seat, and a utility tray located above the vent on the instrument panel. The utility tray has a plate-shaped holder member having a first surface that forms a holding surface for holding a portable terminal device and a second surface that is the back surface of the first surface and on which a stand portion for holding the portable terminal device upright is erected, and a heat transfer plate provided on the first surface and the stand portion, respectively, so as to be in contact with the portable terminal device. The holder member is rotatable between a first state in which it is upright with the first surface facing the seat and a second state in which it is positioned substantially horizontally with the second surface facing upward, and the air outlet has a first air outlet that blows the conditioned air toward the seat and a second air outlet that blows the conditioned air toward the utility tray.

[0009] According to this application example, the holder member of the utility tray is rotatable between a first state in which it is upright with its first surface facing the seat side, and a second state in which it is positioned approximately horizontally with its second surface facing upward. Therefore, when the holder member is set to the first state, the mobile device can be held in a position facing the seat by the first surface. Furthermore, when the holder member is set to the second state, the mobile device can be propped up and held on the stand portion of the second surface. In this case, items such as drinks and food can also be temporarily placed on the area of ​​the second surface other than the stand portion. Furthermore, since the air outlet has a second outlet, the conditioned air can be directed towards the utility tray. This allows the heat exchange between the heat transfer plate, whose temperature is controlled by the conditioned air, and the portable terminal device held in the holder member, making it easier to suppress the overheating or underheating of the portable terminal device. Thus, with the interior structure of the cab in this application example, the utility tray holds the portable device in a position facing the seat or leaning against the stand, making it easy to use the portable device held in the utility tray. In addition, the effects of heat on the portable device are suppressed, allowing for stable use of the portable device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to this invention, the usability of portable terminal devices can be improved in the interior structure of the cab installed in the vehicle. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0011] [Figure 1] This is a plan view of the interior of the cab of a vehicle according to one embodiment, viewed from above. [Figure 2] Figure 1, line AA, is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of the interior structure of the cab, where (A) shows the holder member set to the first state and (B) shows the holder member set to the second state. [Figure 3] This is a magnified perspective view showing the main parts of the cab's interior structure. [Figure 4] (A) to (D) are side views illustrating the usage configuration of the utility tray. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] The embodiments (appearances, examples of application) of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are merely illustrative, and there is no intention to exclude various modifications or applications of techniques not explicitly shown in these embodiments. Each configuration of the embodiments described below can be modified in various ways without departing from their spirit. Furthermore, they can be selected or combined as needed.

[0013] In the following description, the front-rear, left-right, and up-down directions are defined based on the vehicle. That is, the vehicle length direction corresponds to the "front-rear direction". The vehicle width direction corresponds to the "left-right direction", and the left and right are defined based on the posture facing the front of the vehicle. The vehicle height direction corresponds to the "up-down direction". In FIGS. 1 to 3, the "front-rear direction" is indicated by the symbol D1, the "left-right direction" is indicated by the symbol D2, and the "up-down direction" is indicated by the symbol D3, and "FR" is marked for the front, "LH" for the left, and "UP" for the upper side.

[0014] [1. Configuration] FIG. 1 is a plan view of the interior of the cab 1 of a truck according to an embodiment as viewed from above. In FIG. 1, only the cab 1 of the truck is shown, and parts other than the cab 1 are omitted. The cab 1 is a box-shaped part arranged above the front part of the truck (not shown), and a driver's seat 2 and a passenger seat 3 are provided inside it. The living space (interior) inside the cab 1 is surrounded by wall surfaces on the six sides of front, rear, left, right, up, and down. In FIG. 1, the upper surface of the cab 1 is omitted. Also, in this specification, the cab 1 refers to the part surrounding the interior where the driver's seat 2 and the passenger seat 3 are provided in the vehicle, and the interior structure of the cab 1 is the structure of the interior where the driver's seat 2 and the passenger seat 3 are provided.

[0015] The driver's seat 2 is provided approximately at the center in the left-right direction inside the cab 1. The driver's seat 2 is a seat used by the driver to drive the vehicle, and a steering wheel 4 and an instrument panel 5 (also called a dashboard) are arranged in front of the driver's seat 2. In this cab 1, no seats are arranged side by side on the side of the driver's seat 2. A passenger seat 3 is provided behind the driver's seat 2. The passenger seat 3 is, for example, composed of a bench-type seat in which a seat 3L on the left rear side and a seat 3R on the right rear side of the driver's seat 2 are integrally formed.

[0016] The instrument panel 5 forms part of the interior of the cab 1, extends from the front face 1A to the side face 1B of the cab 1, and includes an upward-facing upper surface 5A. The instrument panel 5 is provided with an air-conditioning air outlet 6 and various instruments. The air outlet 6 is arranged in front of the driver's seat 2 on the instrument panel 5. Specifically, the air outlet 6 is installed in front of and to the side (here, the left front) of the driver's seat 2. The air outlet 6 mainly blows air-conditioned air toward the driver's seat 2 (inside the cab 1) to adjust the temperature inside the cab 1. However, in the interior structure of the cab 1 according to this embodiment, it is also possible to blow air-conditioned air toward the utility tray 7 described later. Note that the air-conditioned air is cold air by cooling or warm air by heating.

[0017] The upper surface 5A of the instrument panel 5 is equipped with a utility tray 7. The utility tray 7 (hereinafter referred to as "tray 7") has a structure for holding the portable terminal device 20 and has a placement structure with a table function on which drivers and passengers can place items such as drinks and food inside the cab 1. The tray 7 is arranged above the air outlet 6. Since the air outlet 6 is mounted in front of and to the side (here, the left front) of the driver's seat 2, it can be said that the tray 7 is also mounted in front of and to the side (here, the left front) of the driver's seat 2. Here, the portable terminal device is a portable information terminal device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The portable terminal device generally has a thin plate-shaped (slate-shaped) housing with a rectangular outline and includes a display that occupies a relatively large area compared to the housing.

[0018] As described above, the air outlet 6 and the tray 7 of this embodiment are mounted in front of and to the side (here, the left front) of the driver's seat 2. Therefore, when viewed from the air outlet 6 and the tray 7, the "side of the driver's seat 2 (seat)" corresponds to the "right rear of the vehicle", and the "opposite side of the driver's seat 2 side" corresponds to the "left front of the vehicle". In the following explanation, for the sake of simplicity, the "driver's seat 2 side" (right rear of the vehicle) of tray 7 will be referred to as the "rear," and the opposite side (left front of the vehicle) will simply be referred to as the "front." The front-rear direction (symbol D1) shown in Figures 2(A), (B) and 4(A)-(D) below refers to the "driver's seat 2 side" and its opposite side in tray 7, and "FR" in Figures 2(A), (B) and 4(A)-(D) below refers to the opposite side of the driver's seat 2 side.

[0019] Figures 2(A) and 2(B) are cross-sectional views along line AA illustrating an example of the interior structure of cab 1, and Figure 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the main parts of the interior structure of cab 1. Note that some parts of the interior structure of cab 1 are omitted or simplified in Figures 2(A), 2(B) and 2(3). As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the tray 7 includes a holder member 8 and a heat transfer plate 9. The holder member 8 is formed from a plate-shaped member having a first surface 8A and a second surface 8B which is the back surface of the first surface 8A. The first surface 8A is the holding surface for holding the portable terminal device 20 (shown by a dashed line in Figure 3). A stand portion 10 for propping up and holding the portable terminal device 20 is erected on the second surface 8B. In other words, the first surface 8A and the stand portion 10 form the structure for holding the portable terminal device 20.

[0020] The holder member 8 has a roughly rectangular outline in plan view, with the first surface 8A and the second surface 8B being flat surfaces. The second surface 8B is flat in the area excluding the stand portion 10. As shown in Figure 1, the tray 7 is positioned near the windshield (not shown) located on the front surface 1A of the cab 1. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of sunlight (radiant heat) irradiated from the windshield, it is preferable that the holder member 8 be made of a heat-shielding material.

[0021] The holder member 8 is rotatably supported on the instrument panel 5. Specifically, the holder member 8 is rotatably mounted on both sides 8D (see Figure 3) around a pivot point 11 provided on one end 8C, between the first state shown in Figure 2(A) and the second state shown in Figure 2(B). Furthermore, the pivot point 11 of the holder member 8 is slidably attached to a rail 12 (see Figure 2(A)) that extends in the front-rear direction, and the holder member 8 is movable in the front-rear direction along the rail 12. Note that a pair of rails 12 are provided corresponding to both sides 8D of the holder member 8 (see Figure 3), but only one is shown in Figure 2(A).

[0022] The first state is the state in which the holder member 8 is raised with its first surface 8A facing toward the driver's seat 2 side (seat side, in this case the rear of the vehicle), as shown in Figure 2(A). Figure 2(A) shows the holder member 8 set to the first state and also slid backward along the rail 12. The second state is the state in which the holder member 8 is positioned approximately horizontally with its second surface 8B facing upward, as shown in Figure 2(B). Figure 2(B) shows the holder member 8 set to the second state and slid forward along the rail 12.

[0023] Figure 3 shows the holder member 8 set to the first state as shown in Figure 2(A), and also slid backward along the rail 12. As shown in Figure 3, the first surface 8A of the holder member 8 has three locking members 13 provided at both the left and right ends and the lower end of the first surface 8A to hold the portable terminal device 20 on both sides and the lower end. The portable terminal device 20 placed on the first surface 8A of the holder member 8 is held by the locking members 13. The locking members 13 may be arranged so that their position can be adjusted to match the size of the portable terminal device 20. For example, the distance between a pair of locking members 13 arranged on both sides of the portable terminal device 20 can be adjusted to match the width of the portable terminal device 20.

[0024] As shown in Figures 2(A) and 3, the holder member 8, set to the first state, has its pivot point 11 positioned at the rear end of the rail 12, and its front side is tilted upward. Because the holder member 8 in the first state is tilted, the display of the portable terminal device 20 placed on the first surface 8A is positioned at an inclined angle, making it easier to ensure visibility from the driver or passenger (user) sitting in the driver's seat 2.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2(B), the stand portion 10 is erected on the second surface 8B of the holder member 8 near one end 8C. By providing the stand portion 10 near one end 8C on the second surface 8B, the area of ​​the second surface 8B excluding the stand portion 10 can be easily used as a table. The stand section 10 includes a pair of wall surfaces 10A and 10B that are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. The stand section 10 is configured to hold the mobile terminal device 20 upright by inserting it between the wall surfaces 10A and 10B. The heights of the wall surfaces 10A and 10B are set to an appropriate size that allows the mobile terminal device 20 to be held upright.

[0026] Furthermore, the stand portion 10 is formed so that in the second state, its front side is tilted upward. That is, in the first state, the holder member 8 has its pivot point 11 positioned at the front end of the rail 12, and the stand portion 10 side (second surface 8B) is positioned below the vehicle. Therefore, in the holder member 8 set to the second state, the portable terminal device 20 held by the stand portion 10 is tilted forward of the vehicle. Consequently, since the display of the portable terminal device 20 propped up on the stand portion 10 is positioned in an inclined position, visibility is easily ensured from the perspective of the driver or passenger (user) sitting in the driver's seat 2.

[0027] Furthermore, a housing section 14 is provided below the holder member 8. The housing section 14 is a recessed area extending downward from the upper surface 5A of the instrument panel 5, and a housing space is provided inside it. As shown in Figure 2(A), when the holder member 8 is set to the first state, the top surface of the storage section 14 is open, and the storage space is exposed to the outside. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2(B), when the holder member 8 is set to the second state and slid forward, the top surface of the storage section 14 is closed by the holder member 8. The storage section 14 can be used, for example, to store a portable terminal device 20 when not in use, or to store food, beverages, or small items.

[0028] Next, we will describe the heat transfer plate 9. The heat transfer plate 9 is provided so as to be able to contact the portable terminal device 20 when it is held on the first surface 8A and when it is held on the stand part 10, and it contacts the portable terminal device 20 to exchange heat with it. The heat transfer plate 9 is made of a plate material with high thermal conductivity. For example, metals with high thermal conductivity such as copper or aluminum can be used for the heat transfer plate 9.

[0029] The heat transfer plate 9 includes a first region 9A arranged along the first surface 8A and a second region 9B folded inward into the stand portion 10, with the first region 9A and the second region 9B being connected by a connecting region 9C. More specifically, the first region 9A is a planar region that overlaps with a part of the first surface 8A. This first region 9A is connected to one end of the connecting region 9C at one end 8C of the holder member 8. The other end of the connecting region 9C is connected to the second region 9B at the tip of the stand portion 10. The second region 9B is a planar region arranged along the inner wall surface of the stand portion 10.

[0030] The first region 9A of the heat transfer plate 9 can come into contact with the portable terminal device 20 held on the first surface 8A when the holder member 8 is set to the first state. As shown in Figure 2(A), when the portable terminal device 20 is held on the first surface 8A, the first region 9A of the heat transfer plate 9 is interposed between the first surface 8A and the portable terminal device 20. Although not shown in the figure, the first region 9A of the heat transfer plate 9 is provided with a slit or notch through which the locking member 13 passes, so that the portable terminal device 20 can be held by the locking member 13 even when the heat transfer plate 9 is interposed between the first surface 8A and the portable terminal device 20.

[0031] The second region 9B of the heat transfer plate 9 can come into contact with the portable terminal device 20 held in the stand portion 10 when the holder member 8 is set to the second state. As shown in Figure 2(B), the second region 9B of the heat transfer plate 9 can come into contact with the back surface (the side opposite to the surface on which the display is located) of the portable terminal device 20 at its lower end when it is inserted into the stand portion 10.

[0032] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2(A), (B) and 3, the air outlet 6 is provided with a first air outlet 6A that blows conditioned air towards the rear (i.e., towards the driver's seat 2) and a second air outlet 6B that blows conditioned air upward. The first air outlet 6A blows conditioned air exclusively for adjusting the temperature inside the cab 1, while the second air outlet 6B blows conditioned air towards the tray 7 to adjust the temperature of the portable terminal device 20 held in the tray 7. The first air outlet 6A and the second air outlet 6B are equipped with shutters (not shown) that open and close each air outlet 6A and 6B, allowing the amount of conditioned air to be adjusted.

[0033] As shown in Figures 2(A) and 3, when the holder member 8 is set to the first state and slid backward, the connected area 9C of the heat transfer plate 9 is positioned above the second outlet 6B. Therefore, the conditioned air blown out from the second outlet 6B can be directed onto the connected area 9C.

[0034] For example, when cold air blows onto the connected area 9C, the temperature of the entire heat transfer plate 9 decreases, thus suppressing the temperature rise of the mobile terminal device 20 that is in contact with the first area 9A of the heat transfer plate 9. Also, when warm air blows onto the connected area 9C, the temperature of the entire heat transfer plate 9 increases, thus suppressing the temperature drop of the mobile terminal device 20 that is in contact with the first area 9A of the heat transfer plate 9. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, by providing multiple fins 9D in the continuous area 9C of the heat transfer plate 9, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat transfer plate 9 can be increased.

[0035] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2(B), when the holder member 8 is set to the second state, the lower rear end surface of the first region 9A of the heat transfer plate 9 is positioned above the second outlet 6B. Therefore, the conditioned air blown out from the second outlet 6B can be directed onto the lower rear end surface of the first region 9A. For example, when cold air hits the first region 9A, the temperature of the entire heat transfer plate 9 decreases, thus lowering the temperature of the mobile terminal device 20 in contact with the second region 9B of the heat transfer plate 9 (suppressing temperature rise). Also, when warm air hits the first region 9A, the temperature of the entire heat transfer plate 9 increases, thus raising the temperature of the mobile terminal device 20 in contact with the first region 9A of the heat transfer plate 9 (suppressing temperature drop).

[0036] Figures 4(A) to 4(D) are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating the usage of tray 7. The user is the driver or passenger seated in the driver's seat 2, and is the user of the portable terminal device 20. Figure 4(A) shows the tray 7 in its stored state. The holder member 8 is set to the second state and moved forward. In this case, the holder member 8 closes the opening of the storage section 14 with its second surface 8B facing upward and its first surface 8A facing downward. Food and beverages can be stored in the storage section 14, or a portable terminal device 20 can be stored in the storage section 14 while being held on the first surface 8A. If the holder member 8 is made of a heat-shielding material, the contents of the storage section 14 can be protected from the heat of sunlight.

[0037] Figure 4(B) shows the holder member 8 in the first state, moved towards the rear (towards the driver's seat 2). The user can set the holder member 8 to the first state shown in Figure 4(B) by rotating it towards the rear (front of the vehicle) from the stored state shown in Figure 4(A), as indicated by the white arrow in Figure 4(A), and then sliding it towards the front (rear of the vehicle) along the rail 12, as indicated by the white arrow in Figure 4(B).

[0038] The first state shown in Figure 4(B) is suitable for situations such as using the portable terminal device 20 held in the tray 7 while the vehicle is in motion. For example, one scenario in which the portable terminal device 20 is used while the vehicle is in motion is when it is used as a car navigation system. As described above, if the portable terminal device 20 is housed in the housing section 14 while being held on the first surface 8A (see Figure 4(A)), the effort of attaching the portable terminal device 20 to the holder member 8 when using it can be eliminated.

[0039] Figure 4(C) shows the holder member 8 in the second state. That is, the user can set the holder member 8 to the second state shown in Figure 4(C) by rotating it toward the front of the vehicle (towards the rear of the vehicle) as indicated by the black arrow in Figure 4(B), and sliding it toward the back (towards the front of the vehicle) as indicated by the white arrow in Figure 4(C), from the first state shown in Figure 4(B).

[0040] In the second state shown in Figure 4(C), the holder member 8 is positioned with its second surface 8B and stand portion 10 facing upwards. The stand portion 10 is positioned towards the rear (front of the vehicle) from the user's perspective. Therefore, the flat area of ​​the second surface 8B that is in front of the stand portion 10 from the user's perspective can be used as a table.

[0041] In this case, the area of ​​the second surface 8B other than the stand portion 10 can be used as a table for temporarily placing food, drinks, and small items, while the portable terminal device 20 can be propped up on the stand portion 10 at the back of the table. This second state is suitable, for example, for situations where the driver or passengers eat, drink, or rest inside the cab 1 without the vehicle being driven. Furthermore, as shown by the white double arrows in Figure 4(D), the front-to-back position of the holder member 8, which is set to the second state, can be adjusted along the rail 12, allowing the holder member 8 to be moved to a position that is easy for the user to use.

[0042] [2. Action and Effects] According to the interior structure of the cab 1 described above, the holder member 8 of the utility tray 7 is rotatable between a first state in which the first surface 8A is facing the seat side (driver's seat 2 side) and the holder member 8 is raised from the upper surface 5A of the instrument panel 5, and a second state in which the second surface 8B is facing upward and the holder member 8 is positioned approximately horizontally on the upper surface 5A of the instrument panel 5. Therefore, when the holder member 8 is set to the first state, the portable terminal device 20 can be held facing the seat side (driver's seat 2 side) by the first surface 8A. Also, when the holder member 8 is set to the second state, the portable terminal device 20 can be propped up on the stand portion 10 of the second surface 8B. In this case, items such as drinks and food can also be temporarily placed in the area of ​​the second surface 8B other than the stand portion 10.

[0043] Furthermore, since the air outlet 6 has a second air outlet 6B, the conditioned air can be directed towards the utility tray 7. As a result, the heat transfer plate 9, whose temperature is regulated by the conditioned air, and the portable terminal device 20, which is held on the first surface 8A of the holder member 8 or propped up on the stand portion 10 of the second surface 8B, exchange heat, making it easier to suppress the temperature fluctuations of the portable terminal device 20. Thus, according to the interior structure of the cab 1 of this embodiment, the portable terminal device 20 can be held in two ways by the utility tray 7, and the portable terminal device 20 held by the utility tray 7 can be used. Furthermore, since the effects of heat are suppressed, the portable terminal device 20 can be used stably. Therefore, the interior structure of the cab 1 of this embodiment makes it possible to improve the ease of use (usability) of the portable terminal device 20.

[0044] [3. Others] The above configuration of the interior structure of Cab 1 is just one example. For example, the utility tray 7 may be mounted not only to the front left of the driver's seat 2, but also to the front right. It may also be mounted in front of the passenger seat 3. For example, in Figure 1, the utility tray 7 may be mounted to the front right of the passenger seat 3, which is located to the rear right of the driver's seat 2, or the utility tray 7 may be mounted to the front left of the passenger seat 3, which is located to the rear left of the driver's seat 2. Furthermore, the utility tray 7 does not necessarily have to have rails 12. That is, the holder member 8 may not be able to move in the front-to-back direction but may be able to rotate around one end 8C. Also, the utility tray 7 does not necessarily have to have a storage section 14. In that case, it is sufficient that there is a clearance between the holder member 8 and the upper surface 5A of the instrument panel 5 that allows the holder member 8 to rotate between the first state and the second state.

[0045] Furthermore, the locking member 13 may be provided on the first region 9A of the heat transfer plate 9 instead of the first surface 8A. In this case, the utility tray 7 will have a structure that indirectly holds the portable terminal device 20 on the first surface 8A via the heat transfer plate 9. Furthermore, the shape and arrangement of the driver's seat 2 and passenger seat 3 are examples only and are not limited to the illustrated examples. For example, passenger seat 3 is not limited to a bench-type seat in which seats 3L and 3R are integrally formed, but may also be a seat in which two seats 3L and 3R are provided separately.

[0046] Furthermore, although the above embodiment describes an interior structure in which passenger seats are not provided on either side of the driver's seat 2, the vehicle is not limited to this, and passenger seats may be provided on either side of the driver's seat 2. The present invention is not limited to the interior structure of a truck cab 1, but can be applied to the interior structure of other types of vehicles. In other words, the "cab interior structure" in this embodiment is not limited to the interior structure of a truck cab, but can include any interior structure in a vehicle where a driver's seat and a passenger seat are provided.
