Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle deck device.

Background Art

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a vehicle deck device provided in a luggage compartment located at the rear of a vehicle. The vehicle deck device includes a deck board. The deck board opens or closes a recess provided in the vehicle floor body by partially rotating. Further, the deck board is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0003] In such a vehicle deck device, when the deck board slides backward, luggage may fall forward of the deck board. As a configuration for solving this problem, for example, it is conceivable to provide a cover below the deck board so as to overlap the front side portion of the deck board when the deck board is not sliding backward. In this case, when the deck board is in a state of sliding backward, since the cover is located in front of the deck board, it becomes difficult for luggage to fall.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] When the deck board is in a state of sliding backward, the upper surface of the deck board and the upper surface of the cover may be used as a table or the like. However, since there is a step between the upper surface of the deck board and the upper surface of the cover, it is difficult to use. Further, when taking out luggage from the recess by opening the recess, the luggage may interfere with the cover, which may make it difficult to take out the luggage. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A vehicle deck device for solving the above problems is a vehicle deck device provided in a cargo compartment located at the rear of a vehicle, comprising a deck board having a front board fixed to the floor body of the vehicle, a rear board that rotates in part to open or close a recess provided in the floor body and is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and an intermediate board that moves rearward and upward when the rear board slides rearward, and moves forward and downward when the rear board slides forward, wherein when the deck board is in a stored state stored in the cargo compartment, the intermediate board is located below the rear board and a part of the front board and a part of the rear board overlap, and when a part of the deck board is pulled out outside and rearward of the cargo compartment in an extended state, the upper surface of the intermediate board is flush with the upper surface of the rear board and a part of the front board and a part of the intermediate board overlap.

[0007] With the above configuration, when the deck board is extended, the top surface of the intermediate board is flush with the top surface of the rear board. This allows for a wider flat surface on the deck board. Therefore, for example, the deck board can be easily used as a table. In addition, a portion of the front board and a portion of the intermediate board overlap. This makes it less likely for items to fall between the front board and the intermediate board.

[0008] When the deck board is retracted, the intermediate board is positioned further forward than when the deck board is extended. Therefore, when removing luggage from the recess by opening it, the luggage is less likely to interfere with the intermediate board. Furthermore, a portion of the front board and a portion of the rear board overlap. This reduces the likelihood of luggage falling between the front and rear boards. Thus, a highly user-friendly vehicle deck system can be provided.

[0009] In the above-described vehicle deck device, a support is provided which is fixed to the floor body, and the support has a fixing portion to which the front board is fixed and a cover portion which covers a wire harness arranged on the floor body, and the front board may be placed on the fixing portion such that it has a portion which extends rearward from the fixing portion.

[0010] According to the above configuration, the front board is fixed to the floor body via a support. Therefore, compared to the case where the front board is directly fixed to the floor body, it is easier to set the height of the front board to any desired height. In addition, the wire harness placed on the floor body is covered by the cover portion. Therefore, the wire harness can be hidden. Furthermore, the front board has a portion that extends rearward from the fixing portion. Therefore, when the deck board is in the retracted position, a portion of the front board and a portion of the rear board can overlap, and when the deck board is extended, a portion of the front board and a portion of the intermediate board can overlap.

[0011] In the above-described vehicle deck device, the support may have a storage portion that is recessed from the upper surface of the cover portion. With this configuration, the storage area can be used to store items that are not used frequently, such as tools.

[0012] In the above-described vehicle deck device, when the deck board is in the extended position, the rear end surface of the intermediate board and the front end surface of the rear board may be in contact with each other. With the above configuration, when the deck board is extended, luggage is less likely to fall between the middle board and the rear board. [Effects of the Invention]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a vehicle deck device is embodied will be described according to FIGS. 1 to 9. As shown in FIG. 1, a vehicle 100 is provided with a luggage compartment 101. The luggage compartment 101 is located at the rear of the vehicle 100. A vehicle deck device 10 is provided in the luggage compartment 101.

[0016] As shown in Figure 2, a recess 102a is formed in the floor body 102 of the vehicle 100. Two storage boxes 103 are housed in the recess 102a, for example. The two storage boxes 103 are located at the rear of the recess 102a. The two storage boxes 103 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction within the recess 102a. The luggage stored in the recess 102a is not limited to the storage boxes 103. For example, a spare tire may be stored in the recess 102a.

[0017] A bulkhead 102b is provided in the floor body 102. The bulkhead 102b is erected from the upper surface of the floor body 102. The bulkhead 102b is located in front of the recess 102a. The bulkhead 102b separates the space where the rear seats are located from the cargo area 101.

[0018] On the floor body 102 are vehicle-mounted devices 104, such as an inverter, and a wire harness 105 extending from the vehicle-mounted devices 104. The wire harness 105 is located behind the bulkhead 102b and in front of the recess 102a in the front-rear direction. The wire harness 105 extends in the left-right direction.

[0019] <Configuration of the vehicle's deck system> As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the vehicle deck device 10 comprises a deck board 11, a support frame 12, and a support body 13. Note that the deck board 11 is not shown in Figure 2.

[0020] The support frame 12 has a pair of fixed frames 21. Each fixed frame 21 extends in the front-rear direction. The pair of fixed frames 21 are positioned on both sides of the recess 102a in the left-right direction. Each fixed frame 21 is fixed to the upper surface of the floor body 102 via mounting legs 22.

[0021] As shown in Figure 5, each fixed frame 21 is provided with a rail recess 21a. The rail recess 21a is recessed from the upper surface of the fixed frame 21. The rail recess 21a extends along the front-rear direction. The rail recess 21a opens at the rear end surface of the fixed frame 21.

[0022] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, each fixed frame 21 is provided with two rail members 23. The two rail members 23 are attached to the opposing surfaces 21b of the pair of fixed frames 21 facing each other. The two rail members 23 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction.

[0023] As shown in Figure 4, each rail member 23 has a front horizontal surface 23a, a rear horizontal surface 23b, an inclined surface 23c, and a restricting portion 23d. The rear horizontal surface 23b is located behind the front horizontal surface 23a. The rear horizontal surface 23b is located above the front horizontal surface 23a. The inclined surface 23c connects the rear end of the front horizontal surface 23a and the front end of the rear horizontal surface 23b. The inclined surface 23c is inclined upward as it moves from front to rear. The restricting portion 23d protrudes upward from the front end of the front horizontal surface 23a.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the support frame 12 has a rectangular movable frame 24. The movable frame 24 has a pair of first frame sections 25 and a pair of second frame sections 26. Each first frame section 25 extends in the front-rear direction. The pair of first frame sections 25 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. Each second frame section 26 extends in the left-right direction. The pair of second frame sections 26 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction. One second frame section 26 connects the front ends of the pair of first frame sections 25. The other second frame section 26 connects the rear ends of the pair of first frame sections 25. The movable frame 24 is placed on a pair of fixed frames 21 such that the pair of first frame sections 25 overlap with the pair of fixed frames 21.

[0025] As shown in Figure 5, each first frame portion 25 is provided with a rail projection 25a. The rail projection 25a protrudes from the lower surface of the first frame portion 25. The rail projection 25a extends in the front-rear direction. A pair of rail projections 25a are inserted into rail recesses 21a of a pair of fixed frames 21. The rail projections 25a are movable in the front-rear direction within the rail recesses 21a. The movable frame 24 is slidable in the front-rear direction relative to the fixed frame 21 as the rail projections 25a move in the front-rear direction within the rail recesses 21a.

[0026] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the support 13 has a fixing portion 31 and a cover portion 32. The fixing portion 31 is located above the bulkhead 102b of the floor body 102. The cover portion 32 is integrally formed with the fixing portion 31. The cover portion 32 is located behind the fixing portion 31 and in front of the recess 102a in the front-rear direction. The cover portion 32 covers the wire harness 105 from above and behind. The portion of the cover portion 32 that covers the wire harness 105 from behind is shaped to conform to the recess 102a. The support 13 is fixed to the floor body 102.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2, the support 13 has a storage compartment 33 that is recessed from the upper surface of the cover portion 32. Items that are not used frequently, such as tools, are stored in the storage compartment 33. For example, a jack is stored in the storage compartment 33.

[0028] <Deck Board> As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the deck board 11 has a front board 41, a rear board 42, and an intermediate board 43. The front board 41, the rear board 42, and the intermediate board 43 are each rectangular flat plates.

[0029] The front board 41 is placed on the fixing portion 31. The front board 41 is supported by the fixing portion 31. The front board 41 has a portion that extends rearward from the fixing portion 31. The front board 41 is fixed to the fixing portion 31. Therefore, the front board 41 is fixed to the floor body 102 via the support 13.

[0030] The rear board 42 is mounted on the movable frame 24. The rear board 42 is supported by the movable frame 24. As the movable frame 24 slides in the longitudinal direction relative to the fixed frame 21, the rear board 42 also slides in the longitudinal direction together with the movable frame 24. Therefore, the rear board 42 is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 100.

[0031] The rear board 42 is composed of a front covering portion 421 and a rear covering portion 422 located behind the rear covering portion 422. The rear covering portion 422 is provided so as to be bendable relative to the front covering portion 421. The rear covering portion 422 is rotatable on an axis in the left-right direction of the vehicle 100, that is, in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle 100.

[0032] The rear board 42 is provided with a pair of hooking portions 44. Each hooking portion 44 is provided on the front end surface 42f of the rear board 42. The pair of hooking portions 44 are located at both ends of the rear board 42 in the left-right direction. Each hooking portion 44 in this embodiment is L-shaped. Each hooking portion 44 has a first portion 44a extending forward from the front end surface 42f of the rear board 42, and a second portion 44b extending downward from the tip of the first portion 44a.

[0033] Four roller members 45 are attached to the intermediate board 43. The four roller members 45 are attached to the lower surface 43d of the intermediate board 43. Of the four roller members 45, two are arranged at a distance from each other in the front-to-back direction on the right side of the intermediate board 43, and the other two are arranged at a distance from each other in the front-to-back direction on the left side of the intermediate board 43.

[0034] As shown in Figure 5, the roller member 45 includes a bracket 45a, a shaft member 45b provided on the bracket 45a, and a roller body 45c provided on the shaft member 45b. The bracket 45a is fixed to the lower surface 43d of the intermediate board 43 such that the shaft member 45b extends in the left-right direction. The roller body 45c is capable of rotating forward and backward.

[0035] The four roller members 45 attached to the intermediate board 43 are resting on two rail members 23 attached to each fixed frame 21. Thus, the intermediate board 43 is supported by a pair of rail members 23.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3, the intermediate board 43 is provided with a pair of protrusions 46. Of the pair of protrusions 46, one protrusion 46 protrudes from the left side surface 43l of the intermediate board 43, and the other protrusion 46 protrudes from the right side surface 43r of the intermediate board 43. The pair of protrusions 46 are located at the rear end of the intermediate board 43.

[0037] <Storage state and unfolded state> The deck board 11 can be in a stored state, where it is stored inside the cargo compartment 101, or in an extended state, where a portion of it is pulled out outside and to the rear of the cargo compartment 101.

[0038] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, when the deck board 11 is in the retracted position, the entire rear board 42 is positioned above the recess 102a. The front covering portion 421 of the rear board 42 covers the front part of the recess 102a. The rear covering portion 422 of the rear board 42 covers the rear part of the recess 102a. In this case, the rear board 42 closes the recess 102a. On the other hand, as shown by the dashed line in Figure 4, when the rear covering portion 422 does not cover the rear part of the recess 102a, the rear board 42 leaves the recess 102a open.

[0039] When the rear covering portion 422 is lifted upward while the rear board 42 is closing the recess 102a, the rear covering portion 422 rotates on its axis in the left-right direction, causing the rear board 42 to open the recess 102a. When the rear covering portion 422 is lowered downward while the rear board 42 is opening the recess 102a, the rear covering portion 422 rotates on its axis in the left-right direction, causing the rear board 42 to close the recess 102a. In this way, the rear board 42 closes or opens the recess 102a by the rotation of the rear covering portion 422, which is a part of the rear board 42.

[0040] A portion of the front board 41 and a portion of the rear board 42 overlap. More specifically, a portion of the rear board 42 is located below the portion of the front board 41 that extends rearward from the fixing portion 31. The upper surface 42t of the rear board 42 is in contact with the front board 41. As a result, there is no gap between the front board 41 and the rear board 42.

[0041] The roller member 45 of the intermediate board 43 is located on the front horizontal surface 23a of the rail member 23. The intermediate board 43 is located below the front covering portion 421 of the rear board 42. The upper surface 43t of the intermediate board 43 faces the lower surface 42d of the rear board 42. The rear end surface 43b of the intermediate board 43 is located in front of the front end surface of the storage box 103. The pair of hooks 44 provided on the rear board 42 are located on both sides of the intermediate board 43. The pair of hooks 44 are located in front of the pair of projections 46. The pair of hooks 44 and the pair of projections 46 face each other in the front-rear direction.

[0042] As shown in Figure 6, when the movable frame 24 slides backward, the rear board 42 slides backward together with the movable frame 24. As a result, the pair of hooks 44 provided on the rear board 42 also move backward and come into contact with the pair of protrusions 46 provided on the intermediate board 43.

[0043] As shown in Figure 7, as the movable frame 24 and the rear board 42 slide further backward, the pair of projections 46 are pressed backward by the pair of hooks 44, causing the intermediate board 43 to move backward together with the movable frame 24 and the rear board 42. At this time, the roller member 45 moves backward on the inclined surface 23c of the rail member 23, causing the intermediate board 43 to move upward as well. In other words, when the rear board 42 slides backward, the intermediate board 43 moves both backward and upward.

[0044] Then, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, when the intermediate board 43 moves backward to a position where the roller member 45 reaches the rear horizontal plane 23b of the rail member 23, the deck board 11 is extended. When the deck board 11 is extended, a part of the rear board 42 is located above the recess 102a. The front covering portion 421 of the rear board 42 covers the rear of the recess 102a. The rear covering portion 422 of the rear board 42 is located behind the recess 102a.

[0045] The intermediate board 43 is positioned between the front board 41 and the rear board 42 in the front-rear direction. The intermediate board 43 covers the front part of the recess 102a. In other words, the intermediate board 43 prevents the front part of the recess 102a from being opened when the deck board 11 is extended. The roller member 45 of the intermediate board 43 is positioned on the rear horizontal plane 23b of the rail member 23. For this reason, the intermediate board 43 is positioned further back and higher than when the deck board 11 is retracted. The upper surface 43t of the intermediate board 43 is flush with the upper surface 42t of the rear board 42. In this embodiment, the rear end surface 43b of the intermediate board 43 is in contact with the front end surface 42f of the rear board 42. For this reason, there is no gap between the intermediate board 43 and the rear board 42.

[0046] A portion of the front board 41 and a portion of the intermediate board 43 overlap. More specifically, a portion of the intermediate board 43 is located below the portion of the front board 41 that extends rearward from the fixing portion 31. The upper surface 43t of the intermediate board 43 is in contact with the front board 41. Therefore, there is no gap between the intermediate board 43 and the front board 41.

[0047] As the movable frame 24 slides forward, the rear board 42 slides forward together with the movable frame 24. As a result, the front end surface 42f of the rear board 42 presses against the rear end surface 43b of the intermediate board 43, causing the intermediate board 43 to move forward together with the movable frame 24 and the rear board 42. Also, as the pair of hooks 44 provided on the rear board 42 move forward, the pair of hooks 44 separate from the pair of protrusions 46 provided on the intermediate board 43. Then, as the roller member 45 moves forward on the inclined surface 23c of the rail member 23, the intermediate board 43 also moves downward. In other words, when the rear board 42 slides forward, the intermediate board 43 moves forward and downward. The restricting portion 23d of the rail member 23 prevents the roller member 45 from falling off the rail member 23 when the intermediate board 43 moves forward.

[0048] Then, when the intermediate board 43 has moved forward to the point where the roller member 45 reaches the front horizontal surface 23a of the rail member 23, the upper surface 43t of the intermediate board 43 is located below the lower surface 42d of the rear board 42. As a result, the rear board 42 can be positioned above the intermediate board 43. The rear board 42 slides forward to a position where a part of the rear board 42 overlaps with the front board 41. As a result, the deck board 11 is in the retracted state.

[0049] [Operation and Effects of This Embodiment] The operation and effects of this embodiment will now be explained. (1) The vehicle deck device 10 comprises a deck board 11 having a front board 41, a rear board 42, and an intermediate board 43. The front board 41 is fixed to the floor body 102 of the vehicle 100. The rear board 42 opens or closes a recess 102a provided in the floor body 102 by the rotation of the rear covering portion 422 of the rear board 42. The rear board 42 is also slidable in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 100. The intermediate board 43 moves rearward and upward when the rear board 42 slides rearward. The intermediate board 43 moves forward and downward when the rear board 42 slides forward.

[0050] The deck board 11 can be in a stored state, where it is stored inside the cargo compartment 101, or in an extended state, where a portion of it is pulled out outside the cargo compartment 101 and to the rear. When the deck board 11 is in the stored state, the intermediate board 43 is located below the rear board 42, and a portion of the front board 41 and a portion of the rear board 42 overlap. When the deck board 11 is in the extended state, the upper surface 43t of the intermediate board 43 is flush with the upper surface 42t of the rear board 42, and a portion of the front board 41 and a portion of the intermediate board 43 overlap.

[0051] With this configuration, when the deck board 11 is extended, the upper surface 43t of the intermediate board 43 is flush with the upper surface 42t of the rear board 42, thus expanding the flat surface of the deck board 11. Therefore, for example, the deck board 11 can be easily used as a table. In addition, a portion of the front board 41 and a portion of the intermediate board 43 overlap. As a result, luggage is less likely to fall between the front board 41 and the intermediate board 43.

[0052] When the deck board 11 is in the retracted position, the intermediate board 43 is positioned further forward than when the deck board 11 is extended. Therefore, when removing the storage box 103 from the recess 102a by opening the recess 102a, the storage box 103 is less likely to interfere with the intermediate board 43. In addition, a portion of the front board 41 and a portion of the rear board 42 overlap. Therefore, luggage is less likely to fall between the front board 41 and the rear board 42. Thus, a vehicle deck device 10 with excellent usability can be provided.

[0053] (2) The vehicle deck device 10 includes a support 13 fixed to the floor body 102. The support 13 has a fixing portion 31 to which the front board 41 is fixed, and a cover portion 32 that covers the wire harness 105 arranged on the floor body 102. The front board 41 is placed on the fixing portion 31 such that it has a portion that extends rearward from the fixing portion 31.

[0054] In this configuration, the front board 41 is fixed to the floor body 102 via the support 13. Therefore, compared to the case where the front board 41 is directly fixed to the floor body 102, it is easier to set the height of the front board 41 to any desired height. Also, the wire harness 105, which is placed on the floor body 102, is covered by the cover portion 32. Therefore, the wire harness 105 can be hidden. Furthermore, the front board 41 has a portion that extends rearward from the fixing portion 31. Therefore, when the deck board 11 is in the retracted state, a portion of the front board 41 and a portion of the rear board 42 can overlap, and when the deck board 11 is in the extended state, a portion of the front board 41 and a portion of the intermediate board 43 can overlap.

[0055] (3) The support 13 has a storage section 33 that is recessed from the upper surface of the cover section 32. With this configuration, the storage section 33 can be used as a space to store items that are not used frequently, such as tools.

[0056] (4) When the deck board 11 is extended, the rear end surface 43b of the intermediate board 43 and the front end surface 42f of the rear board 42 are in contact. With this configuration, when the deck board 11 is extended, luggage is less likely to fall between the intermediate board 43 and the rear board 42.

[0057] (5) A roller member 45 is attached to the lower surface 43d of the intermediate board 43. Therefore, the intermediate board 43 can move smoothly on the rail member 23. [Example of changes] The above embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications. The above embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that they do not contradict each other technically.

[0058] ○ As shown in Figures 10 to 13, the hook portion 44 may be an F-shaped rotating hinge. The hook portion 44 has a rectangular plate-shaped base portion 51, a first protruding piece 52, and a second protruding piece 53. The first protruding piece 52 and the second protruding piece 53 protrude from the base portion 51 in the thickness direction. The first protruding piece 52 and the second protruding piece 53 are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the base portion 51. The first protruding piece 52 is located closer to the tip of the base portion 51 than the second protruding piece 53. The hook portion 44 is attached to the rear board 42 via a rotating shaft 54. A flat cover plate 55 is also attached to the rear board 42 via the rotating shaft 54. The cover plate 55 extends in the left-right direction. The width of the cover plate 55 in the left-right direction is about the same as the width of the intermediate board 43.

[0059] As shown in Figure 10, when the deck board 11 is in the retracted position, the base 51 of the hook portion 44 extends downward from the rear board 42. The space enclosed by the base 51, the first protruding piece 52, and the second protruding piece 53 is open to the rear. The end of the cover plate 55 located on the opposite side of the rotation axis 54 abuts against the upper surface 43t of the intermediate board 43.

[0060] As shown in Figure 11, when the movable frame 24 and the rear board 42 slide backward, the projection 46 provided on the intermediate board 43 is inserted into the space enclosed by the base 51 of the hook portion 44, the first protruding piece 52, and the second protruding piece 53.

[0061] As shown in Figure 12, as the movable frame 24 and the rear board 42 slide further rearward, the hook portion 44 and the cover plate 55 each rotate around the rotation axis 54. When the rear board 42 slides rearward, an upward and rearward force acts on the projection 46 from the first projection piece 52. As a result, the intermediate board 43 moves rearward together with the movable frame 24 and the rear board 42. Also, similar to the above embodiment, as the roller member 45 moves rearward on the inclined surface 23c of the rail member 23, the intermediate board 43 also moves upward.

[0062] As shown in Figure 13, when the deck board 11 is extended, the base 51 of the hook portion 44 and the cover plate 55 extend horizontally from the rear board 42. A gap is created between the rear end surface 43b of the intermediate board 43 and the front end surface 42f of the rear board 42. The cover plate 55 covers this gap. Therefore, it is difficult for luggage to fall between the intermediate board 43 and the rear board 42.

[0063] When the hook portion 44 is made into a rotating hinge in this way, when the roller member 45 moves on the inclined surface 23c of the rail member 23, the projection 46 is subjected not only to a force directed backward but also to a force directed upward. Therefore, it is easier to move the intermediate board 43 upward.

[0064] The cover plate 55 may be omitted if the width of the gap between the rear end surface 43b of the intermediate board 43 and the front end surface 42f of the rear board 42 is such that the cargo does not fall through the gap between the intermediate board 43 and the rear board 42.

[0065] ○ The support 13 may be omitted. In this case, the front board 41 is directly fixed to the floor body 102. ○ The support 13 does not necessarily have to have a cover portion 32.

[0066] ○ The support 13 does not necessarily have to have a storage section 33. ○ If the intermediate board 43 is movable along the rail member 23, the roller member 45 does not need to be attached to the intermediate board 43. [Explanation of Symbols]
