[Figure 6] This is a magnified view of the second toolbox in Figure 1(b). [Figure 7] This is an enlarged view of the side wall shown in Figure 1(b). [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] A vehicle cargo compartment structure according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a luggage floor forming the floor of the cargo compartment at the rear of the vehicle and luggage boards extending across the left and right side walls of the cargo compartment, wherein the luggage floor has a floor storage section formed by recessing a predetermined area including the center in the vehicle width direction downward, and a floor reference surface that forms the floor of the cargo compartment extending from the front side of the floor storage section to both sides in the vehicle width direction, and the vehicle cargo compartment structure further comprises a first toolbox installed on the floor reference surface to the side of the floor storage section and capable of storing predetermined items, and a luggage box that is larger in dimensions in the vehicle width direction than the floor storage section and positioned above and spaced apart from the floor reference surface and capable of storing predetermined items.

[0010] According to the above configuration, the cargo area can be divided into three levels of storage space: a floor storage area formed in the luggage floor, a luggage box above the floor storage area, and the space above the luggage board. In particular, the luggage box is larger in the vehicle width direction than the floor storage area and forms a larger storage space above the floor storage area, making it easier to put things in and take them out than in the floor storage area below. For example, everyday items can be stored in the luggage box, warning devices in the floor storage area, and tools in the first toolbox. Therefore, according to the above configuration, it is possible to improve the convenience of the cargo area.

[0011] The luggage box described above may be positioned to cover a portion of the first toolbox from above.

[0012] With the above configuration, the luggage box covers the upper part of the first toolbox, so if the first toolbox tries to move upward, the luggage box can prevent that movement.

[0013] The above-mentioned first tool box is formed in a range covered by the luggage box above and has a protruding portion protruding upward. The luggage box may have a bottom surface portion formed up to a range covering the first tool box above, and a positioning portion formed at a position overlapping the protruding portion of the bottom surface portion and recessed upward along the protruding portion.

[0014] According to the above configuration, the positioning portion of the luggage box can suppress the movement of the first tool box and can determine the first tool box at a regular position.

[0015] The vehicle luggage compartment structure may further include a second tool box disposed on the front side of the vehicle in the floor storage portion and capable of storing predetermined stored items.

[0016] According to the above configuration, the second tool box enables proper use of the storage space in the floor storage portion. For example, tools with low usage frequency can be stored in the second tool box.

[0017] The above-mentioned second tool box has a tool storage portion disposed in the floor storage portion and capable of storing stored items, and a box front edge portion protruding from the upper part of the tool storage portion to the front side. The floor reference surface may have a box installation portion formed on the front side of the tool storage portion and recessed along the box front edge portion.

[0018] According to the above configuration, by fitting the box front edge portion of the second tool box into the box installation portion of the floor reference surface, the second tool box can be determined at a regular position.

[0019] The above-mentioned second tool box further has a pair of side flanges extending laterally along the floor reference surface from the upper parts on both sides in the vehicle width direction of the tool storage portion. The first tool box may have a fitting portion that overlaps and fits onto one of the pair of side flanges from above.

[0020] According to the above configuration, by fitting the side flange of the second tool box into the fitting portion of the first tool box, it is possible to suppress the displacement of the second tool box.

[0021] The above-mentioned second tool box may further have a floor connection portion formed on the other of the pair of side flanges and connected to the floor reference surface.

[0022] According to the above configuration, by connecting the side flange of the second tool box to the floor reference surface, it is possible to fix the second tool box.

[0023] The vehicle luggage compartment structure may further have holder members installed on the left and right side walls of the luggage compartment respectively, and the side edges of the luggage box are detachably attached thereto.

[0024] According to the above configuration, by detachably installing the luggage box, for example, by removing the luggage box and storing large items in the floor storage portion, the convenience of the luggage compartment is improved.

Embodiment

[0025] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Dimensions, materials, and other specific numerical values shown in such embodiments are merely examples for facilitating the understanding of the invention, and do not limit the present invention unless otherwise specified. In the present specification and drawings, elements having substantially the same functions and configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals to omit redundant descriptions, and elements not directly related to the present invention are not shown.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a view showing an overview of a vehicle luggage compartment structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1(a) is a view showing the vehicle luggage compartment structure 100 as viewed from the side.

[0027] In the following, in Figure 1 and all other drawings of this application, the front-rear direction of the vehicle is illustrated by arrows F (Forward) and B (Backward), the left-right direction in the vehicle width direction is illustrated by arrows L (Leftward) and R (Rightward), and the up-down direction of the vehicle is illustrated by arrows U (Upward) and D (Downward). .

[0028] The cargo area where the vehicle cargo area structure 100 is implemented is formed as the space behind the rear seat 102 within the vehicle. The vehicle cargo area structure 100 divides the cargo area at the rear of the vehicle into three upper and lower storage spaces S1 to S3, thereby improving the convenience of the cargo area.

[0029] Storage space S1 is formed between the floor storage section 104b formed in the luggage floor 104 and the luggage box 114. Storage space S2 is formed as storage space when the luggage box 114 is in use. Storage space S3 is formed as storage space above the luggage board 108.

[0030] Figure 1(b) is a perspective view of the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 in Figure 1(a) with the rear seat 102 omitted.

[0031] The luggage floor 104 is a panel member that forms the floor of the cargo area. The luggage floor 104 is broadly divided into a floor reference surface 104a and a floor storage section 104b. It is also possible to lay a luggage carpet made of nonwoven fabric or the like over the floor reference surface 104a and the floor storage section 104b.

[0032] The floor storage area 104b is a region formed by recessing a predetermined area of ​​the luggage floor 104 downwards, including the center in the vehicle width direction. The floor storage area 104b can accommodate the second toolbox 116, which will be described later, as well as items such as warning triangles and spare tires.

[0033] The floor reference plane 104a is the area of ​​the luggage floor 104 that forms the floor of the cargo area, surrounding the floor storage section 104b. The floor reference plane 104a is formed from the front side of the floor storage section 104b to both sides in the vehicle width direction.

[0034] The luggage board 108 is a component used as a shelf in the cargo area or as a lid for the luggage box 114. The luggage board 108 can be placed across the left and right side walls 106 of the cargo area. The luggage board 108 can be installed on the stepped portion of the side wall 106 or opened by tilting it forward along the groove in the side wall 106.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1(a), a slide board 110 is installed on top of the luggage board 108. The slide board 110 extends from the back of the rear seat 102 and closes the gap between the rear seat 102 and the luggage board 108. The slide board 110 slides in the front-to-back direction on top of the luggage board 108 in accordance with the movement of the rear seat 102. Furthermore, by folding the rear seat 102 forward, the storage space S3 can be expanded in the front-to-back direction.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1(b), the luggage box 114 is implemented as a large-capacity container capable of storing items. The luggage box 114 is larger in the vehicle width direction than the floor storage section 104b and is positioned above and spaced apart from the floor reference plane 104a. The luggage box 114 can be installed on the stepped sections of the left and right side walls 106 of the cargo area using the holder members 138 (see Figure 7(a)) described later.

[0037] The first toolbox 112 is installed on the right side of the floor storage area 104b on the floor reference surface 104a. The first toolbox 112 can be used to store tools such as a tire repair kit.

[0038] The second toolbox 116 is located on the front side of the vehicle within the floor storage compartment 104b. The second toolbox 116 can partition the floor storage compartment 104b to store tools, and can be used, for example, as a storage compartment for jacks and the like.

[0039] Figure 2 is a view of the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 of Figure 1(b) from above. Figure 2(a) is a view of the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 of Figure 1(b) from above with the luggage board 108 removed.

[0040] As described above, the luggage box 114 is larger in the vehicle width direction than the floor storage section 104b and is installed so as to partially cover the lower first toolbox 112 and second toolbox 116.

[0041] Figure 2(b) shows the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 from Figure 2(a) with the luggage box 114 removed.

[0042] The first toolbox 112 is installed on the floor reference surface 104a to the right of the floor storage section 104b, and its dimensions in the front-to-back direction are approximately in line with the dimensions of the floor storage section 104b. The first toolbox 112 can be installed on the floor reference surface 104a using clips or the like (not shown).

[0043] The second toolbox 116 is located on the front side of the vehicle within the floor storage compartment 104b. The dimensions of the second toolbox 116 are longer in the vehicle width direction and are installed so as to span across the left and right floor reference planes 104a of the floor storage compartment 104b. In addition, the dimensions of the second toolbox 116 are shorter than those of the floor storage compartment 104b in the front-to-rear direction, so as not to obstruct the storage of items in the rear area of ​​the floor storage compartment 104b.

[0044] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 shown in Figure 2(a). Figure 3(a) is a cross-sectional view AA of the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 shown in Figure 2(a).

[0045] In the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100, the cargo compartment can be divided into three upper and lower storage spaces: a storage space S1 from the floor storage section 104b to the luggage box 114, a storage space S2 from the luggage box 114 to the luggage board 108, and a storage space S3 above the luggage board 108.

[0046] The luggage box 114 is larger in the vehicle width direction than the floor storage section 104b, allowing for a wider storage space S2 to be formed above the floor storage section 104b. Therefore, items can be easily loaded and unloaded from the storage space S2 provided by the luggage box 114 compared to the storage space S1 provided by the floor storage section 104b below.

[0047] In the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100, for example, everyday items can be stored in the luggage box 114, warning devices and spare tires can be stored in the floor storage section 104b, and tools can be stored in the first toolbox 112 and the second toolbox 116. In this way, the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 allows for the use of storage spaces S1 to S3 in different ways, improving the convenience of the cargo compartment.

[0048] Figure 3(b) is a cross-sectional view of the BB of the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 shown in Figure 2(a).

[0049] The luggage box 114 is set to be large in the vehicle width direction to the extent that it reaches the left and right floor reference planes 104a of the floor storage section 104b (see Figure 3(a)). Therefore, the luggage box 114 covers a portion of the first toolbox 112 from above.

[0050] Figure 4 is an enlarged view of the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 in Figure 3(b). Figure 4(a) is an enlarged view of the area around the first toolbox 112 in Figure 3(b).

[0051] The luggage box 114 can prevent the first toolbox 112 from moving upwards by covering the upper part of the first toolbox 112.

[0052] Figure 4(b) is a magnified view of the first toolbox 112 shown in Figure 4(a). The first toolbox 112 has a projection 118 that protrudes upward.

[0053] The protrusion 118 is formed in an area that is covered above by the luggage box 114. The protrusion 118 can be formed by extending upward the edge of the recess for storing tools in the first toolbox 112.

[0054] The bottom surface 120 of the luggage box 114 extends to cover the area above the first toolbox 112. At this time, a positioning portion 122 is formed on the bottom surface 120 of the luggage box 114. The positioning portion 122 is formed in a recessed state that is recessed upward along the protrusion 118, at a position on the bottom surface 120 that overlaps with the protrusion 118.

[0055] The positioning portion 122 of the luggage box 114 is formed in a shape that engages with the protruding portion 118 of the first toolbox 112. This configuration prevents the first toolbox 112 from moving, allowing it to be positioned correctly. Furthermore, when installing the luggage box 114 in the cargo area, the protruding portion 118 of the first toolbox 112 can be used as a guide to position the luggage box 114 correctly.

[0056] Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 in Figure 3(a). Figure 5(a) is an enlarged view of the area around the second toolbox 116 in Figure 3(a).

[0057] The second toolbox 116 has a tool storage section 124. The tool storage section 124 is a recess with an open top and is located within the floor storage section 104b. The tool storage section 124 can store tools and other items.

[0058] The second toolbox 116 allows for different uses of the storage space S1 (see Figure 3(a)) within the floor storage compartment 104b. For example, the second toolbox 116 is located in a recessed position at the front of the floor storage compartment 104b when the rear back door of the vehicle is opened. Therefore, the second toolbox 116 can be used to store tools that are not used frequently, such as jacks.

[0059] The second toolbox 116 has a front edge 126. The front edge 126 is a portion that protrudes forward from the top of the tool storage section 124. The front edge 126 follows the shape of the front side of the floor storage section 104b of the luggage floor 104, which helps to determine the position of the second toolbox 116.

[0060] Figure 5(b) is a cross-sectional view of the CC of the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100 shown in Figure 5(a). This CC cross-section is a cross-section of the front edge 126 of the second toolbox 116.

[0061] The floor reference surface 104a has a box mounting section 128. The box mounting section 128 is formed on the front side of the tool storage section 124 and is recessed along the shape of the front edge 126 of the second toolbox 116.

[0062] In the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100, the second toolbox 116 can be positioned correctly by fitting the front edge 126 of the second toolbox 116 into the box mounting section 128 of the floor reference surface 104a. This configuration also prevents the second toolbox 116 from shifting laterally.

[0063] As shown in Figure 1(b), the second toolbox 116 has a pair of side flanges 130 and 132 at its left and right ends in the vehicle width direction. The side flanges 130 and 132 extend laterally along the floor reference plane 104a from the upper parts on both sides in the vehicle width direction of the tool storage section 124 (see Figure 5(a)).

[0064] Figure 6 is a magnified view of the second toolbox 116 in Figure 1(b). Figure 6(a) is a magnified view of the side flange 130 of the second toolbox 116 in Figure 1(b).

[0065] The side flange 130 protrudes outward in the vehicle width direction along the upper side of the floor reference surface 104a.

[0066] The first toolbox 112 has a fitting portion 134 that overlaps and fits onto the side flange 130 of the second toolbox 116 from above. The fitting portion 134 is formed near the inner corner in the vehicle width direction of the front of the first toolbox 112, and this corner area is notched from below.

[0067] The fitting portion 134 prevents the side flange 130 of the second toolbox 116 from moving upward and towards the rear of the vehicle. In this way, in the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100, by fitting the side flange 130 of the second toolbox 116 into the fitting portion 134 of the first toolbox 112, it is possible to suppress displacement of the second toolbox 116. In particular, by using the fitting of the fitting portion 134 and the side flange 130 to determine the position of the second toolbox 116, the use of fasteners such as clips and bolts can be omitted, which contributes to cost and labor reduction.

[0068] Figure 6(b) is an enlarged view of the side flange 132 of the second toolbox 116 in Figure 1(b).

[0069] The side flange 132 also protrudes outward in the vehicle width direction along the upper side of the floor reference surface 104a. The side flange 132 has a floor connection portion 136 as a connection point to the floor reference surface 104a. The floor connection portion 136 is implemented as a through hole that allows the use of fasteners such as clips.

[0070] The floor connection portion 136 allows the second toolbox 116 to be fixed to the luggage floor 104 by connecting the side flange 132 to the floor reference surface 104a. By increasing the installation rigidity of the second toolbox 116 with the floor connection portion 136, it becomes possible to effectively prevent displacement of the second toolbox 116.

[0071] The second toolbox 116 can be stably mounted in the correct position even with only one floor connection 136, by utilizing the fitting of the front edge 126 of the box (see Figure 5(b)) into the luggage floor 104 and the fitting of the side flange 130 (see Figure 6(a)) into the first toolbox 112. Furthermore, by removing only one floor connection 136, it can be easily removed from the floor storage compartment 104b. With this configuration, the second toolbox 116 is made easier to handle, thereby improving the convenience of the cargo area.

[0072] Figure 7 is an enlarged view of the side wall 106 in Figure 1(b). Figure 7(a) is a partially enlarged perspective view of the side wall 106 in Figure 1(b).

[0073] In the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100, holder members 138 can be installed on the side walls 106 to attach the luggage box 114 (see Figure 1(b)) to the cargo compartment. Holder members 138 are installed on both the left and right side walls 106 of the cargo compartment.

[0074] Figure 7(b) is a cross-sectional view of the holder member 138 in Figure 7(a). The holder member 138, with its bifurcated shape, grips the side edge 140 of the luggage box 114, allowing the luggage box 114 to be attached and detached.

[0075] In the vehicle cargo compartment structure 100, the luggage box 114 is detachably installed in the cargo compartment using the holder member 138, which improves the convenience of the cargo compartment, for example, by removing the luggage box 114 and storing large items in the floor storage compartment 104b.

[0076] Preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the attached drawings, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to these examples. It is clear to those skilled in the art that various modifications or alterations can be conceived within the scope of the claims, and these will naturally also fall within the technical scope of the present invention.
