The left side of the vehicle in the direction of travel is referred to as "left," and the right side of the vehicle in the direction of travel is referred to as "right." Furthermore, the left-right direction and the vehicle width direction are synonymous, and the front-rear direction and the vehicle direction are synonymous.
[0012] (Overall composition) FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a center console, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the center console, FIG. 3 is a side view of the main parts showing the interior of the rear console unit, and FIGS. 4 and 5 are a front perspective view and a rear view showing how the console bracket is attached. A vehicle such as a passenger car is provided with a driver's seat 2 located on the front right side of a floor 1, a passenger seat 3 located on the front left side of the floor 1, and front and rear center consoles 10 located between the driver's seat 2 and the passenger seat 3. A central protrusion 1A is formed in the floor 1 in the fore-and-aft direction between the driver's seat 2 and the passenger seat 3. The center console 10 is provided on the central protrusion 1A of the floor 1. Note that the driver's seat 2 and the passenger seat 3 may be reversed left and right.
[0013] The center console 10 has a console front portion 11, an air conditioner duct 12, a cooler box duct 13, a brake harness 14, a rear console unit 20, and a console bracket 30. The center console 10, which extends in the fore-and-aft direction, has its front portion covered by a console front portion 11 and its rear portion covered by a rear console unit 20. An air conditioning duct 12, a cooler box duct 13, and a brake harness 14 are arranged in the fore-and-aft direction along a central protrusion 1A of the floor 1 and are covered by the console front portion 11 and the rear console unit 20. The console bracket 30 particularly covers the side and top surfaces of the rear sides of the air conditioning duct 12 and the brake harness 14, and supports the rear console unit 20 on its top surface. This configuration can be seen in Figures 2 and 3.
[0014] The rear console unit 20 has a cup holder 21, an armrest 22, a cooler box 23, a rear panel 24, side panels 25, and a support frame 26. The cup holder 21 and the cooler box 23 are arranged side by side in the front-to-rear direction from the front. The armrest 22 covers the top side of the cooler box 23 in an openable and closable manner. The rear panel 24 covers the rear side of the cooler box 23. A pair of side panels 25, 25 extending forward from the cooler box 23 are attached to both the left and right sides of the cooler box 23. A support frame 26 is provided in front of the cooler box 23 to bridge between the pair of side panels 25, 25. This configuration can be seen in Figure 2.
[0015] Cup holder 21 is a plate-like member having a recessed storage section 21a for storing a container such as a plastic bottle. Cup holder 21 is detachably attached to support frame 26 and placed on the upper edge sides of a pair of side panels 25, 25.
[0016] Armrest 22 is a plate-like member that covers the opening of cooler box 23, and its upper surface is covered with a cushioned member. The rear end of armrest 22 is pivotally supported on the rear end of the opening of the cooler box via a support shaft in the left-right direction. This allows armrest 22 to open and close the opening of cooler box 23 by swinging the front end up and down. This configuration can be seen in Figure 3.
[0017] Cooling box 23 is formed in a box shape with an open top so that containers such as plastic bottles can be stored therein. A pair of left and right recesses 23a and fixing holes 23b are formed in the bottom surface of cooling box 23. A bottom plate 27 that covers recesses 23a and fixing holes 23b is fitted into the bottom surface of cooling box 23. This configuration can be seen in FIG. 5. The upper surface of the connection portion between the front surface of the cooler box 23 and the cooler box duct 13 is covered by the cup holder 21, and the left and right sides thereof are covered by side panels 25, 25.
[0018] An air outlet (not shown) is formed on the upper side of the rear panel 24. A vertical connecting duct 28 is provided on the rear panel 24 to connect the air outlet to the rear end of the air conditioner duct 12. This configuration can be seen in Figure 2.
[0019] The air conditioner duct 12 and the cold storage box duct 13 extend in the front-to-rear direction along the inside of the center console 10. The front ends of the air conditioner duct 12 and the cold storage box duct 13 are connected to the engine compartment side, and cool air cooled by a condenser arranged in the engine compartment (not shown) is supplied to them. The rear end of the air conditioning duct 12 is connected to the connecting duct 28. This allows the air conditioning duct 12 to supply cool air from the air outlet of the rear panel 24 toward the rear seats (not shown) behind the driver's seat 2 and passenger seat 3. The rear end side of the refrigerated box duct 13 is connected to the front part of the refrigerated box 23. This allows the refrigerated box duct 13 to supply cool air into the refrigerated box 23 in the rear console unit 20.
[0020] The rear portion of the air conditioner duct 12 is suspended and supported by the console bracket 30 via a duct support piece 12A that protrudes from the upper surface. As a result, in the cross section along the lowermost portion of the guide portion 38c (described later) in the front-rear direction, the upper surface of the air conditioning duct 12 is located higher than the right rear wheel brake harness 14R, which is located at the highest position. This configuration can be seen in Figure 5.
[0021] The brake harness 14 extends in the front-rear direction along the center console 10. The front end of the brake harness 14 is connected to a control unit (not shown). A midpoint of the brake harness 14 in the front-rear direction is supported on the console bracket 30 side. The brake harness 14 is divided into a right rear wheel brake harness 14R and a left rear wheel brake harness 14L, which extend rearward of the console bracket 30 toward the right rear wheel. The rear end of the brake harness 14 is connected to an actuator (not shown) for applying electric brakes to the rear wheels. The manner in which the brake harness 14 is attached to the console bracket 30 will be described later.
[0022] Next, a specific configuration of the console bracket will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 7. Figures 6(A) and 6(B) are a perspective view and a bottom view of the console bracket, and Figure 7 is an exploded perspective view of the console bracket.
[0023] The console bracket 30 has a first bracket 31 and a second bracket 32 arranged in front of the first bracket 31 in parallel. The first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 are each formed in an inverted U-shape, and their lower ends are fixed with bolts to the central protrusion 1A side of the floor 1. In addition, in the space in the front-to-rear direction formed between the first bracket 31, the second bracket 32 and the central protrusion 1A, an air conditioning duct 12 is arranged at the center, and a brake harness 14 is arranged on one of the left and right sides of the duct 12. This configuration can be seen in FIGS. 2 to 5.
[0024] The first bracket 31 has a pair of left and right first leg portions 31a, 31a extending in the vertical direction, and a first upper surface portion 31b extending in the horizontal direction so as to connect the upper ends of the pair of left and right first leg portions 31a, 31a.
[0025] The pair of first legs 31a are formed in a hat shape by being slightly inclined outward in the left and right direction as they extend downward. The pair of first legs 31a, 31a have first fixing portions 33, 33 for fixing to the floor 1 side by bending the lower ends of the pair of first legs 31a, 31a outward in the left and right direction. On one of the left and right sides of the first leg portion 31a, a plurality of harness fixing holes 34 are provided vertically aligned on the left or right inner surface side for attaching and fixing the brake harness 14. In the example shown in the figure, four harness fixing holes 34 are provided vertically aligned on the left first leg portion 31a.
[0026] A right rear wheel brake harness 14R and a left rear wheel brake harness 14L, which are separated into upper and lower halves, are attached and fixed to the harness fixing holes 34 arranged in a row above and below via harness fixing devices 15. This configuration can be seen in Figures 3 to 5.
[0027] A pair of left and right fixing holes 40L, 40R that penetrate vertically are formed on the rear side of first upper surface portion 31b. The bottom side of cold storage box 23 is fixed to the upper surface of first upper surface portion 31b of first bracket 31 with bolts through fixing holes 40L, 40R. More specifically, fixing bolts 50 are inserted through fixing holes 23b of cooler box 23 and fixing holes 40L, 40R of first upper surface portion 31b, and then fastened to fixing nuts arranged on the underside of first upper surface portion 31b, thereby fixing the underside of cooler box 23 to the upper surface of first bracket 31. At this time, the heads of fixing bolts 50 are received in recesses 23a of cooler box 23 and are covered by bottom plate 27. This configuration can be seen in FIG. 5.
[0028] The second bracket 32 has a pair of left and right second leg portions 32a, 32a extending in the vertical direction, and a second upper surface portion 32b extending in the horizontal direction so as to connect the upper ends of the pair of left and right second leg portions 32a, 32a.
[0029] The pair of second leg portions 32a, 32a have their lower sides curved forward. The pair of second leg portions 32a, 32a have their lower ends bent inward in the left-right direction to form second fixing portions 35, 35 for fixing to the floor 1 side. A harness support piece 39 that protrudes forward is formed on the lower side of the pair of second leg portions 32a, 32a. A harness fixing hole 39a for supporting the brake harness 14 is formed in the harness support piece 39.
[0030] The second upper surface portion 32b is formed with a duct support piece 36, a locking piece 37, and a receiving piece 38. The duct support piece 36 is disposed at the front edge of the second upper surface portion 32b. The locking piece 37 and the receiving piece 38 are disposed at the rear edge of the second upper surface portion 32b.
[0031] The duct support piece 36 has an extension portion 36a extending downward and forward from the front edge of the second upper surface portion 32b, an abutment portion 36b provided at the front end of the extension portion 36a and abutting against the duct support piece 12A, and a duct support hole 36c formed in the abutment portion 36b in the left-right direction. The extension portion 36a is located to the right of the center in the left-right direction of the second upper surface portion 32b, and the extension end side is bent toward the left. As a result, by attaching and fixing the abutment portion 36b of the duct support piece 36 to the duct support piece 12A that is in abutment with the abutment portion 36b, the rear portion of the air conditioner duct 12 can be suspended and supported by the console bracket 30. This configuration can be seen in Figures 4 and 6.
[0032] The locking piece 37 has a first locking piece 37A and a second locking piece 37B that extend rearward from the rear edge of the second upper surface portion 32b. The first locking piece 37A is positioned in the left-right center of the second upper surface portion 32b and is bent upward in a crank shape so as to abut against the upper surface of the first upper surface portion 31b of the first bracket 31. The second locking piece 37B is positioned on the right side of the second upper surface portion 32b in the left-right direction and is bent downward in a crank shape so as to abut against the underside of the first upper surface portion 31b of the first bracket 31. That is, the first locking piece 37A and the second locking piece 37B are arranged side by side on the left and right, sandwiching the first upper surface portion 31b of the first bracket 31 from above and below. At this time, the second locking piece 37B and the first upper surface portion 31b are joined by spot welding. This allows the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32, which are arranged side by side in front of the first bracket 31, to be integrally connected. Note that the first locking piece 37A and the first upper surface portion 31b are not spot welded together.
[0033] The receiving piece 38 has an extension portion 38a, a receiving portion 38b, and a guide portion 38c. The extension portion 38a extends rearward from the left side in the left-right direction of the rear edge portion of the second upper surface portion 32b. The receiving portion 38b is formed on the rear end side of the extension portion 38a and is a dish-shaped portion recessed downward, with a portion of the circumferential direction open and connected to the guide portion 38c. The receiving portion 38b is disposed so as to overlap with the fixing hole 40L on one of the left and right sides of the first upper surface portion 31b in a plan view. In the illustrated example, the receiving portion 38b overlaps with the fixing hole 40L on the left side. In this case, the receiving portion 38b is disposed so as to cover the entire fixing hole 40L in a plan view. This configuration can be seen in FIGS. 5, 6(A), and 6(B). The guide portion 38c is a groove that is recessed downward in the center and extends inward in the left-right direction from the receiving portion 38b. In the example shown, the guide portion 38c extends rightward, continuing from the right side of the receiving portion 38b. The base end of the guide portion 38c is connected to the dish-shaped receiving portion 38b. The free end of the guide portion 38c extends to a predetermined retracted position that overlaps with the upper surface of the air conditioner duct 12 in a rear or plan view. This configuration can be seen in FIG. 5.
[0034] The receiving piece 38 abuts against the underside of the first upper surface portion 31b at some position and is joined by spot welding. The receiving piece 38 may be joined to the first upper surface portion 31b by providing a protrusion extending in the front-to-rear direction on the extension portion 38a, or by joining a protrusion provided on the free end side of the guide portion 38c to the first upper surface portion 31b. This configuration can be seen in FIG. 7.
[0035] (Action and effect) According to the console bracket 30 described above, when liquid spills into the cooler box 23, the liquid leaking from the fixing hole 40L of the cooler box 23 can be received by the receiving portion 38b and guided inward in the left-right direction by the guide portion 38c. This reliably prevents liquid spilled into the insulated box 23 from leaking through the fixing hole 23b of the insulated box 23 and the fixing hole 40L of the first bracket 31 onto the brake harness 14, which is an electrical component.
[0036] Furthermore, the liquid guided to the predetermined retracted position by guide portion 38c is guided to fall onto the upper surface of air conditioning duct 12. The liquid that has leaked onto the upper surface of air conditioning duct 12 flows down along the side surface of air conditioning duct 12. The right fixing hole 40R is positioned so as to overlap the upper surface of the air-conditioning duct 12 in a plan view. Therefore, liquid dropping from the fixing hole 40R of the first bracket 31 leaks directly onto the upper surface of the air-conditioning duct 12. As described above, any liquid that spills into the cooler box 23 and leaks out of the fixing holes 23b, 40L, and 40R flows down the air conditioning duct 12 and falls onto the floor 1. This more reliably prevents liquid that falls forcefully from the cooler box 23 from splashing on the floor 1 and coming into contact with electrical components such as the brake harness 14.
[0037] The console bracket 30 described above is configured by arranging the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32, which are separate components, in a front-to-back arrangement, which allows each component to have a simple shape, thereby keeping manufacturing costs low. Also, the installation work of the console bracket 30 on the floor 1 side is simplified. Furthermore, by dividing the console bracket 30 into the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32, it is possible to use brackets formed of materials with different plate thicknesses at the front and rear. That is, by making the plate thickness of the first bracket 31, to which the refrigerated box is attached, thicker than the plate thickness of the second bracket 32, it is possible to ensure rigidity throughout the console bracket 30 while reducing manufacturing costs. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plate thickness of the first bracket 31 is 1.6 cm, while the plate thickness of the second bracket 32 is 1.2 cm.
[0038] Furthermore, the console bracket 30 allows a wide front-to-rear distance between the first leg 31a and the second leg 32a because the lower portions of the second legs 32a of the second bracket 32 are curved forward, which makes the posture of the console bracket 30 fixed to the floor 1 more stable. Furthermore, in the console bracket 30, the first fixing portions 33, 33 of the first bracket 31 and the second fixing portions 35, 35 of the second bracket 32 are offset in the left-right direction when viewed from the bottom. This makes the posture of the console bracket 30 fixed to the floor 1 more stable.
