Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the interior structure of a vehicle.

Background Art

[0002] For example, in a wagon-type vehicle, there is known a vehicle having a passenger compartment in which a seat on which a passenger sits is arranged and a luggage compartment arranged, for example, on the rear side of the rear seat in the vehicle interior. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is known a vehicle in which a horizontally placed luggage board arranged in the middle part in the vehicle vertical direction is installed in the luggage compartment.

[0003] On the other hand, for example, in a commercial vehicle, it is required to secure a luggage compartment volume. Patent Document 1 discloses a structure in which a front luggage board and a rear luggage board are arranged side by side in the vehicle front-rear direction in the luggage compartment. In this example, the front luggage board and the rear luggage board constitute one luggage board. By configuring in this way, it is possible to select between a case where the space of the luggage compartment is divided into upper and lower sides by the luggage board and a case where a large undivided luggage compartment is provided. For example, only the rear luggage board is removed to secure a wide space without dividing the luggage compartment vertically.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] On the other hand, in commercial vehicles, so-called office work, such as using a personal computer (PC), is sometimes performed on-site. Here, "on-site" refers to places where business is conducted, such as business negotiations, construction work, or the loading or unloading of goods. In this case, it is desirable to be able to perform the work inside the vehicle. To perform office work inside the vehicle, a workbench is needed to set up the PC and temporarily place documents. Furthermore, even general users may want to secure a space to perform office work using a PC, etc., outside of their home. In this case, the ability to perform office work is required not only in commercial vehicles but also in general vehicles.

[0006] Furthermore, in recent years, it has been recommended to avoid performing office work in places used by or where large numbers of people gather. In such cases, office work may be done at home, for example, but it is also required to perform office work using a PC in locations other than home. In order to secure space for office work, for example, to perform office work inside a vehicle, there was room for improvement in the structure of expanding the cargo area as in the example above.

[0007] The present invention was made to solve the above problems, and its objective is to provide a vehicle interior structure that allows for stable office work to be performed inside the vehicle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To achieve the above objective, the vehicle interior structure according to the present invention includes a support portion provided on the side of the vehicle interior and supporting the outer portion in the vehicle width direction of a luggage board that is positioned horizontally, and a contact portion provided on the side of the vehicle interior and against which the luggage board abuts. In the vehicle interior structure, the luggage board is provided with a contact portion that abuts against the contact portion, and at least one of the front portion and the rear portion outside the contact portion is provided with a contact portion that abuts against. The side of the interior of the vehicle has a restricting portion facing the upper surface of the luggage board supported by the support portion, and the restricting portion is provided on one of the vehicle front side and vehicle rear side of the luggage board and has a facing portion facing one of the front end and rear end of the luggage board, and the facing portion has an inclined portion that slopes upward towards the other of the front end and rear end of the luggage board. Yes, they are. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, office work can be performed stably inside the vehicle's interior. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the interior structure of a vehicle according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings (FIGS. 1 to 16). In the drawings, the direction of arrow Fr indicates the front in the vehicle longitudinal direction. "Front part (front end) and rear part (rear end)" in the description of the embodiment correspond to the front part and rear part in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Also, arrow R and arrow L indicate the right side and left side when the occupant looks at the front of the vehicle.

[0012] The vehicle of the present embodiment is not a type of vehicle in which the passenger compartment S1 and the luggage compartment S2 are strictly partitioned as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, but is a so-called wagon type vehicle in which the passenger compartment S1 and the luggage compartment S2 are arranged in one interior space. For example, the luggage compartment S2 of the present embodiment is defined as the space on the vehicle rear side of the driver's seat 8 or the space on the vehicle rear side of the rear seat 7. Also, side trims 10 are arranged on both sides in the vehicle width direction inside the vehicle interior. The side trim 10 is an interior material formed of a resin material and constitutes the side wall of the passenger compartment.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 3, the interior structure of the vehicle of the present embodiment has support portions 11, 21, 31 provided on the side trim 10 (side portion inside the vehicle interior) for supporting the outer portions in the vehicle width direction of the horizontally arranged luggage board 50, and abutting portions 12, 22, 32 provided on the side trim 10 (side portion inside the vehicle interior) against which the luggage board 50 abuts. Also, the luggage board 50 is provided with abutting portions 51, 52 that abut against the abutting portions 12, 22, 32, and the abutting portions 51, 52 abut against at least one of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion outside the abutting portions 12, 22, 32. As shown in FIG. 2, by the luggage board 50, the luggage compartment S2 is divided into a space S3 below the luggage board 50 and a space S2 above it. The bottom of the lower space is constituted by the rear floor panel 1A.

[0014] By configuring as described above, it becomes possible to restrict the forward and backward movement of the luggage board 50 supported by the support portions 11, 21, 31 of the side trim 10 by the contact portions 12, 22, 32. Therefore, even when an occupant performs office work using the luggage board 50, it becomes possible to suppress the forward and backward movement of the luggage board 50, and the occupant can perform office work stably.

[0015] Hereinafter, each part constituting the vehicle interior structure of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the vehicle of the present embodiment is provided with a driver's seat 8, a passenger seat 9 (FIG. 7), and a rear seat 7 in the vehicle interior. The rear seat 7 is disposed at the front of the rear floor panel 1A. The rear floor panel 1A is disposed above the vehicle than the center floor panel 1B. That is, a step portion is formed by a vertical wall 1C connecting the front end of the rear floor panel 1A and the rear end of the center floor panel 1B.

[0016] In addition, on the side portion of the vehicle, a front door opening 3 and a rear door opening 2 are provided via a center pillar 5 extending in the vehicle up-and-down direction. In addition, a back door opening 4 is provided at the rear of the vehicle.

[0017] Next, the structure of the side trim 10 will be described. As shown in Figure 1, the side trim 10 of this embodiment is an interior material positioned on the rear side of the rear door opening 2, which is located on the outer side of the vehicle body in the vehicle width direction. The side trim 10 is an interior material positioned on the inside of the vehicle, for example, the quarter inner panel (not shown) and the rear wheelhouse panel (not shown), which are located on the rear side of the rear door opening 2. The side trim 10 is provided with support parts 11, 21, and 31 for supporting the luggage board 50. The side trim 10 in this example is provided with a plurality of support parts 11, 21, and 31. In this example, three support parts 11, 21, and 31, namely the first support part 11, the second support part 21, and the third support part 31, are arranged at intervals from each other in the vertical direction of the vehicle. In this example, the first support section 11 is described as the lower support section, the second support section 21 as the middle support section, and the third support section 31 as the upper support section.

[0018] The state in which the luggage board 50 is supported by the first support part 11 is shown, for example, in Figures 1, 2, and 7 to 10. The state in which the luggage board 50 is supported by the second support part 21 is shown in Figures 11 and 12, and the state in which the luggage board 50 is supported by the third support part 31 is shown in Figures 13 and 14.

[0019] The following describes the details of the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31 of the side trim 10. First, the first support part 11 will be described, and the state in which the luggage board 50 is installed on the first support part 11 will be described. After that, the second support part 21 and the third support part 31 will be described.

[0020] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first support portion 11 is provided in the middle of the side trim 10 in the vehicle's vertical direction. In this example, it is positioned slightly above the rear floor panel 1A and above the rear wheel house panel (not shown). In this example, the first support portion 11 protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the reference surface 10a of the side trim 10 and extends in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. The first support portion 11 is provided with a first support surface 11a that supports the lower surface of the outer part of the luggage board 50 in the vehicle width direction. The first support surface 11a faces upward towards the vehicle and extends in the vehicle's longitudinal direction.

[0021] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the contact portions 12, 22, and 32 may have a convex shape that protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction or a concave shape that is recessed outward in the vehicle. Also, the contacted portions 51 and 52 of the luggage board 50 may have a shape that can contact the contact portions 12, 22, and 32 of the side trim 10, and may, for example, be provided on the outer part of the luggage board 50 in the vehicle width direction and have a concave shape that is recessed inward in the vehicle width direction, or a convex shape that protrudes outward or upward. Also, the contact portions 12, 22, and 32 may be provided on the support portions 11, 21, and 31 and protrude inward in the vehicle width direction or upward in the vehicle. In this case, the contacted portions 51 and 52 may have a concave shape that can be inserted into the contact portions 12, 22, and 32. The contacted portions 51 and 52 will be described later.

[0022] The side trim 10 in this example has first to third contact portions 12, 22, and 32 corresponding to the first to third support portions 11, 21, and 31. First, the first contact portion 12 corresponding to the first support portion 11 will be described. The first contact portion 12 has a convex shape that protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the reference surface 10a of the side trim 10. The first contact portion 12 also protrudes upward from the first support surface 11a. In this embodiment, the first contact portion 12 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape that extends inward in the vehicle width direction and is positioned at the front of the first support surface 11a. In this embodiment, the contact portions 51 and 52 of the luggage board 50 are configured to contact the front or rear surface of the first contact portion 12.

[0023] As described above, the contact portions 51 and 52 of the luggage board 50 are formed to conform to the shape of the first contact portion 12, so that the front and rear surfaces of the first contact portion 12 can easily come into contact with the contact portions 51 and 52 of the luggage board 50. As a result, the effect of suppressing the movement of the luggage board 50 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle can be further enhanced. In addition, in this embodiment, since the first contact portion 12 is connected to the first support portion 11, the support rigidity of the luggage board 50 at the first support portion 11 is increased, making it possible to perform office work stably. For example, even if a load is applied to the first support portion 11 by temporarily placing a PC and other materials necessary for office work, it is possible to suppress the elastic deformation of the first support portion 11. Furthermore, it is also possible to suppress the movement and vibration of the luggage board 50 caused by the elastic deformation of the first contact portion 12 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side trim 10 (side portion inside the vehicle interior) has restricting portions 13, 23, 33 facing the upper surface of the luggage board 50 supported by support portions 11, 21, 31. The restricting portions 13, 23, 33 have facing portions. The facing portions are provided on either the front or rear side of the luggage board 50 and face either the front or rear end of the luggage board 50. In this example, the facing portions are provided on the rear side of the luggage board 50 and face the rear end of the luggage board 50. Note that the facing portions in this example are a general term for the portion including the inclined portions 16, 26, 36 and the lower portions 15, 25, 35, which will be described later.

[0025] The opposing portion may have inclined portions 16, 26, and 36 that slope upward toward the other end of the luggage board 50, towards the front and rear ends. Furthermore, the opposing portion may also have lower portions 15, 25, and 35 (flat portions) provided on one end of the inclined portions 16, 26, and 36 in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, extending along the upper surface of the luggage board 50. In this embodiment, the opposing portion has inclined portions 16, 26, and 36 and lower portions 15, 25, and 35, but it is sufficient to have at least one of the inclined portions 16, 26, and 36 and the lower portions 15, 25, and 35.

[0026] The restricting sections 13, 23, and 33 will be described in detail below. The side trim 10 in this example has first to third restricting sections 13, 23, and 33 corresponding to the first to third support sections 11, 21, and 31. First, the first restricting section 13 will be described. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the first restricting section 13 has a first rear section 14, a first lower section 15, a first inclined section 16, and a first connecting section 17. The first rear section 14 is the portion that extends upward from the rear end of the first support surface 11a of the first support section 11 and has a wall surface that faces forward of the vehicle. The first lower section 15 is the portion that extends forward from the upper end of the first rear section 14 and has a plane that faces downward of the vehicle. Furthermore, the first inclined portion 16 is inclined upward towards the vehicle as it moves from the front end of the first lower surface portion 15 toward the front end of the luggage board 50, that is, toward the front of the vehicle. The first connecting portion 17 extends upward from the front end of the first inclined portion 16 toward the vehicle and is connected to the lower part of the second support portion 21, and has a wall surface facing the front of the vehicle.

[0027] By providing the first restricting portion 13, particularly the first inclined portion 16, when installing the luggage board 50 to the first support portion 11, the luggage board 50 can be installed to the first support portion 11 while restricting its upward movement above the vehicle, and moving it from a tilted position along the inclination direction of the first inclined portion 16 to a horizontal position. This makes it possible to easily install the luggage board 50.

[0028] For example, the luggage board 50 can be installed by gripping its front end (the end away from the first restricting portion 13) and lifting it above the vehicle above the first support surface 11a, then inserting it towards the first rear portion 14 of the first restricting portion 13. Furthermore, the first restricting portion 13 can prevent the luggage board 50, which is supported by the first support portion 11, from moving upwards above the vehicle.

[0029] Furthermore, by providing the first lower surface portion 15, the installation of the luggage board 50 can be made even easier, and the first lower surface portion 15 can also suppress the lifting of the luggage board 50 when it is installed. In addition, by providing the first lower surface portion 15, a structure can be made in which the luggage board 50 and the first lower surface portion 15 can easily make surface contact. With this configuration, the load acting on the first lower surface portion 15 can be more easily distributed when surface contact occurs. As a result, deformation and damage to the luggage board 50 can be suppressed.

[0030] Next, the second support portion 21, the second contact portion 22, and the second restricting portion 23 will be described. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the second support portion 21 is provided in the middle of the side trim 10 in the vehicle's vertical direction and is positioned above the first support portion 11 with a gap between them. Similar to the first support portion 11, the second support portion 21 protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the reference surface 10a of the side trim 10 and extends in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. The second support portion 21 is provided with a second support surface 21a that supports the lower surface of the outer part of the luggage board 50 in the vehicle width direction. The second support surface 21a faces upward and extends in the vehicle's longitudinal direction.

[0031] The second contact portion 22, like the first contact portion 12, has a convex shape that protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the reference surface 10a of the side trim 10. The second contact portion 22 also protrudes upward from the second support surface 21a. In this example, the second contact portion 22 has substantially the same shape as the first contact portion 12, and the contacted portions 51 and 52 of the luggage board 50 are configured to contact either the front or rear surface of the second contact portion 22. Furthermore, in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, the second contact portion 22 is positioned offset to the rear of the vehicle relative to the first contact portion 12.

[0032] The second restricting portion 23, like the first restricting portion 13, has a second rear portion 24, a second lower portion 25, a second inclined portion 26, and a second connecting portion 27. The second rear portion 24 is the portion that extends upward from the rear end of the second support surface 21a and has a wall surface facing the front of the vehicle. The second lower portion 25 is the portion that extends forward from the upper end of the second rear portion 24 and has a plane surface facing the bottom of the vehicle. In the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the second lower portion 25 is positioned further rearward than the first lower portion 15. The second inclined portion 26 is inclined upward from the front end of the second lower portion 25 towards the front of the vehicle. The second connecting portion 27 extends upward from the front end of the second inclined portion 26 and is connected to the lower part of the third support portion 31, and has a wall surface facing the front of the vehicle. Furthermore, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the second coupling section 27 is located in approximately the same position as the first coupling section 17.

[0033] For example, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, by providing a second support portion 21 and a second contact portion 22, the luggage board 50 can be installed at a position higher on the vehicle than the first support portion 11. Furthermore, by providing a second restricting portion 23, the luggage board 50 can be installed more stably.

[0034] Next, the third support portion 31, the third contact portion 32, and the third restricting portion 33 will be described. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the third support portion 31 is provided in the middle of the side trim 10 in the vehicle's vertical direction and is positioned above the second support portion 21. Similar to the first and second support portions 11 and 21, the third support portion 31 protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the reference surface 10a of the side trim 10 and extends in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. The third support portion 31 is provided with a third support surface 31a that supports the lower surface of the outer part of the luggage board 50 in the vehicle width direction. The third support surface 31a faces upward and extends in the vehicle's longitudinal direction.

[0035] The third contact portion 32, like the first and second contact portions 12 and 22, has a convex shape that protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the reference surface 10a of the side trim 10. Furthermore, the third contact portion 32 protrudes upward from the third support surface 31a. In this example, the third contact portion 32 has substantially the same shape as the first and second contact portions 12 and 22, and is configured such that the contacted portions 51 and 52 of the luggage board 50 contact either the front or rear surface of the third contact portion 32. Also, in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, the third contact portion 32 is positioned offset rearward relative to the second contact portion 22.

[0036] The third restricting portion 33, like the third restricting portion 33, has a third rear portion 34, a third lower portion 35, a third inclined portion 36, and a third connecting portion 37. The third rear portion 34 is the portion that extends upward from the rear end of the third support surface 31a and has a wall surface facing the front of the vehicle. The third lower portion 35 is the portion that extends forward from the upper end of the third rear portion 34 and has a plane surface facing the bottom of the vehicle. The third inclined portion 36 is inclined upward from the front end of the third lower portion 35 as it extends towards the front of the vehicle. The third connecting portion 37 extends upward from the front end of the third inclined portion 36 and is connected to the lower part of the bulging portion 40 that bulges out from the reference surface 10a, and has a wall surface facing the front of the vehicle. In this example, the bulge 40 is equipped with a power supply device capable of supplying power to a PC or the like brought into the passenger compartment by connecting it to a constant voltage battery (12V) (not shown), and multiple electrical connection points (power plugs, or USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, etc.) are provided on the surface of the bulge 40 (the side facing the passenger compartment). The third restricting section 33 is positioned further rearward than the second restricting section 23.

[0037] For example, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, by providing a third support portion 31 and a third contact portion 32, the luggage board 50 can be installed at a position higher on the vehicle than the second support portion 21. Furthermore, by providing a third restricting portion 33, the luggage board 50 can be installed more stably.

[0038] Furthermore, of the multiple support parts 11, 21, and 31 described above, the support parts positioned above are preferably positioned towards the rear of the vehicle relative to the support parts positioned below. In this example, the first contact part 12, the second contact part 22, and the third contact part 32 are positioned in a manner that is shifted towards the rear of the vehicle. Also, the first restricting part 13, the second restricting part 23, and the third restricting part 33 are positioned in a manner that is shifted towards the rear of the vehicle.

[0039] When using the luggage board 50 located on the upper side of the vehicle, the occupant (user) may sit on the front side of the luggage board 50 (Figures 8, 10, 12, and 14). In this case, if the luggage board 50 is in the front, the user's feet or knees may come into contact with the luggage board 50, making it difficult to assume a posture suitable for office work. In contrast, by setting the positions of the first to third support parts 11, 21, 31, etc. as described above, contact between the feet or knees and the luggage board 50 can be suppressed, allowing office work to be performed without discomfort.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lower end of the first restricting portion 13 is connected to the first support portion 11, and the upper end is connected to the lower part of the second support portion 21 and the second restricting portion 23. The lower end of the second restricting portion 23 is connected to the second support portion 21 and the first restricting portion 13, and the upper end is connected to the third support portion 31. Furthermore, the lower part of the third restricting portion 33 is connected to the third support portion 31 and the second restricting portion 23, and the upper part is connected to the bulging portion 40. In addition, the reference surface 10a at the position where the third support portion 31 protrudes has a stepped portion that protrudes outward from the reference surface 10a, and the stepped portion is connected to the bulging portion 40 and the third restricting portion 33.

[0041] Since the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31 are connected to each other via the first to third restricting parts 13, 23, and 33, the load of the luggage board 50 supported by any of the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31 can be absorbed by the other support parts via the first to third restricting parts 13, 23, and 33 during use. As a result, vibrations of the luggage board 50 or vibrations caused by the elastic deformation of each support part 11, 21, and 31 can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the first restricting part 13 is connected to the stepped part and the bulging part 40 via the stepped part, the support rigidity is further increased. Note that the stepped part in this embodiment is a general term for the part including the flat part 43, inclined surface 42, and vertical wall part 41, etc., which will be described later.

[0042] In this example, the stepped portion, as shown in Figure 4, has a flat portion 43 extending along the support surface 31a of the third support portion 31, an inclined surface 42 that slopes upward toward the rear side door opening 2, i.e., toward the front of the vehicle, from the flat portion 43 toward the rear side door opening 2, and a vertical wall portion 41 extending upward from the inclined surface 42 toward the rear side door opening 2. The upper surface 43a of the flat portion 43 is preferably set to be at approximately the same height as the upper surface of the luggage board 50 when it is supported by the third support surface 31a, and to be a plane that approximately coincides with the board surface 54a of the luggage board 50, as shown in Figure 13. This makes it possible to expand the workspace from the board surface 54a of the luggage board 50 to the upper surface 43a of the flat portion 43 when the luggage board 50 is supported by the third support surface 31a, making office work even easier. Furthermore, since the flat portion 43 is connected to the vertical wall portion 41 via the inclined surface 42, the load transmitted to the flat portion 43 can be efficiently transmitted to the vertical wall portion 41, making it easier to transmit the load from the vertical wall portion 41 to, for example, the area around the door opening that forms the rear side door opening 2 in the side body panel.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a power supply device is provided inside the bulging portion 40, and an electrical connection part such as a plug is provided on the surface of the bulging portion 40. However, the invention is not limited to this, and an electrical connection part may be provided on the surface of the stepped portion. In particular, when an electrical connection part is provided on the inclined surface 42, the flat portion 43 can also be easily used as an office workspace. In addition, it is preferable to provide an electrical connection part at any position on the side trim 10 including the reference surface 10a.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, two contact portions are formed in the luggage board 50 that penetrate vertically, and at least one contact portion 12, 22, 32 is formed in each of the first to third support portions 11, 21, 31. Therefore, the PC's power supply wiring can be inserted through the other contact portion that is not in contact with the contact portions 12, 22, 32.

[0045] Furthermore, the reference surface 10a of the side trim 10 in this embodiment is inclined toward the interior of the vehicle as it approaches the rear of the vehicle. That is, the widthwise dimensions of the first to third support surfaces 11a, 21a, and 31a are set to be smaller on the rear side of the vehicle compared to the front side. As a result, the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31 are less likely to bend in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the luggage board 50 can be supported more stably.

[0046] Furthermore, the side trim 10 of this embodiment is provided with first to third bush fixing parts 19, 29, and 39 near each of the first to third contact parts 12, 22, and 32 for fixing the side trim 10 to, for example, the quarter inner panel. Therefore, even if the first to third contact parts 12, 22, and 32 vibrate due to a load from the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the vibration can be absorbed by the bushes (not shown). The bushes may be formed of, for example, an elastic material, but they may also be formed of a non-elastic material such as a resin material, as long as they can be fixed to the first to third bush fixing parts 19, 29, and 39. The first to third bush fixing parts 19, 29, and 39 are located above each of the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31 on the reference surface 10a. In this embodiment, for example, a bush (elastic body) (not shown) that protrudes from the side trim 10 toward the interior of the vehicle is installed on the first bush fixing part 19 (Figure 3), and the luggage board 50 supported by the first support part 11 is configured to come into contact with the bush. This allows the bush to absorb vibrations of the luggage board 50 and suppress displacement of the luggage board 50. As a result, occupants can use the expanded interior space more comfortably. In particular, if the bush is detachably fixed to the side trim 10 at a position higher than the luggage board 50, the bush can effectively reduce vertical vibrations of the luggage board 50, further improving the comfort of the expanded interior space. Also, when attaching or detaching the luggage board 50 to the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31, the bush can be removed from the side trim 10, making it easy to attach and detach the luggage board 50.

[0047] The luggage board 50 will now be described. As shown in Figure 6, the luggage board 50 of this embodiment is provided with contact portions 51 and 52 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction, which the first to third contact portions 12, 22, and 32 contact. In this example, a front contact portion 51 and a rear contact portion 52 are provided on each side. The front contact portion 51 and the rear contact portion 52 are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. The front contact portion 51 is a notch that is recessed inward in the vehicle width direction, and the front wall surface of the front contact portion 51 is inclined towards the rear of the vehicle as it moves inward in the vehicle width direction, while the rear wall surface is inclined towards the front of the vehicle as it moves inward. The bottom of the front contact portion 51 extends in the vehicle's longitudinal direction so as to connect the front wall surface and the rear wall surface. The rear contact portion 52 is formed similarly to the front contact portion 51. The luggage board 50 is positioned on one of the first to third support surfaces 11a, 21a, or 31a such that the front and rear walls of the luggage board 50 have one of the first to third contact portions 12, 22, or 32 between them. Furthermore, by providing a front contact portion 51 and a rear contact portion 52, the position of the luggage board 50 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle can be adjusted in two stages.

[0048] Furthermore, the length of the luggage board 50 in the vehicle width direction in this embodiment changes in accordance with the change in the vehicle width of the reference surface 10a and the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31. That is, the dimensions of the luggage board 50 in the vehicle width direction are smaller at the rear than at the front. In this example, a stepped shape 53 is provided on the rear side of the rear contact part 52 of the luggage board 50 in the intermediate part in the vehicle longitudinal direction on the side of the luggage board 50, and the stepped shape 53 is inclined inward in the vehicle width direction as it faces the rear of the vehicle. Note that the shape of the contact part may be configured so that the contact part of the luggage board 50 has a single protrusion by providing multiple recesses that are recessed toward the support part side.

[0049] Next, the rear seat 7 (vehicle seat) provided in the interior structure of this embodiment will be described. The rear seat 7 has a seat portion 7B and a seat back portion 7A whose angle can be adjusted relative to the seat portion 7B. The cargo area S2 (space inside the vehicle) is preferably set higher than the upper part of the rear seat 7 in the stacked state where the seat back portion 7A faces the seat portion 7B.

[0050] For example, when performing office work using the luggage board 50 while seated or with knees on the top surface of the stacked rear seat 7 (the back surface of the seat back portion 7A), the position of the luggage board 50 (Lb1) is higher than the back surface of the seat back portion 7A (Ls2), making it easier to perform office work. Furthermore, since the height of the luggage board 50 can be selected when performing office work, office work can be performed according to the content of the work, and office work can be performed stably. In the example in Figure 8, in terms of the vertical positional relationship of the vehicle, the position of the rear floor panel 1A (Lf2) is higher than the position of the center floor panel 1B (Lf1), and the height of the seat portion 7B (Ls1) is higher than the position of the rear floor panel 1A (Lf2). Also, the position of the luggage board 50 (Lb1) supported by the first support portion 11 is higher than the position of the back surface of the seat back portion 7A (Ls2).

[0051] For example, in Figures 7 and 8, the seatback portion 7A of the rear seat 7 is tilted forward and faces the seat portion 7B. In this state, the back surface of the seatback portion 7A is positioned to face upwards towards the vehicle. In this state, the cargo area S2 is above the back surface of the seatback portion 7A, which is above the rear seat 7. For example, as shown in Figure 8, an occupant can sit on the back surface of the seatback portion 7A and use the luggage board 50 supported by the first support portion 11 as a workbench to perform office work. In this state, if the seatbacks 8A and 9A of the front seats, such as the driver's seat 8 and passenger seat 9, are folded down, a larger workspace can be created.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the seat portion 7B and seat back portion 7A of the rear seat 7 (vehicle seat) are configured to be movable between a first position in which an occupant can sit and a second position located on the center floor panel 1B (floor surface) which is located further forward and lower than the first position. Here, the first to third support portions 11, 21, 31 (multiple support portions) preferably include upper support portions (second and third support portions 21, 31) located above the upper part of the rear seat 7 in the first position, and lower support portions (first support portion 11) located above the second position and lower than the upper support portions.

[0053] The first position is, for example, the rear seat 7 shown in Figures 1 and 2, where the seat portion 7B is positioned in front of the rear floor panel 1A, and the seat back portion 7A extends upward from the rear of the seat portion 7B. This rear seat 7 is a so-called tilt-down seat. The second position is when the seat back portion 7A is tilted forward so as to face the seat portion 7B, and in that state, the seat portion 7B has moved forward and downward from the first position so as to be closer to the center floor panel 1B. The second position of the rear seat 7 is shown in Figures 9 and 10. As shown in Figure 10, the height of the back surface of the seat back portion 7A in the second position (Ls2') is approximately aligned with the position of the rear floor panel 1A (Lf2).

[0054] By configuring the rear seat 7 as in this embodiment, it becomes possible to adjust the height of the luggage board 50 to suit both the state before and after tilting down. As a result, it becomes easier to perform office work stably inside the vehicle.

[0055] The following explains the relationship between the position of the rear seat 7 and the height of the luggage board 50.

[0056] For example, in Figures 7 and 8, the seat portion 7B of the rear seat 7 is in the first position, the seat back portion 7A is tilted forward, and the luggage board 50 is shown to be supported by the first support portion 11. In this state, for example, as shown in Figure 8, an occupant can sit on the back of the seat back portion 7A in a kneeling position or the like, and use the luggage board 50 as a workbench to perform office work.

[0057] Furthermore, Figures 9 and 10 show the rear seat's seat portion 7B in the second position, with the seat back portion 7A tilted forward, and the luggage board 50 supported by the first support portion 11. In this state, for example, as shown in Figure 10, an occupant can sit on the back of the seat back portion 7A in a kneeling position, and use the luggage board 50 as a workbench to perform office work. Since the difference between the position of the back of the seat back portion 7A (Ls2) and the position of the luggage board 50 (Lb1) is greater than in the state shown in Figure 8, the luggage board 50 can be used in a position closer to a low table, as shown in Figure 10.

[0058] Furthermore, Figures 11 and 12 show the rear seat's seat portion 7B in the second position, with the seat back portion 7A tilted forward, and the luggage board 50 supported by the second support portion 21. The distance between the position of the back surface of the seat back portion 7A (Ls2') shown in Figure 12 and the position of the luggage board 50 supported by the second support portion 21 (Lb2) is greater than the distance between the position of the back surface of the seat back portion 7A in the second position (Ls2') shown in Figure 10 and the position of the luggage board 50 supported by the first support portion 11 (Lb1). For example, between Figure 10 and Figure 12, it is possible to select the height of the luggage board 50 to suit the occupant's physique. In addition, the seat back portions 8A and 9A of the driver's seat 8 and passenger seat 9 can be tilted backward and used as backrests.

[0059] Furthermore, Figures 13 and 14 show the rear seat's seat portion 7B in the first position, with the seat back portion 7A tilted forward, and the luggage board 50 supported by the third support portion 31. In Figure 14, the position of the luggage board 50 (Lb3) is shown as being supported by the third support portion 31. In this state, the underside of the seat back portion 7A can be used as a chair, and the luggage board 50 can be used as a workbench, allowing for work to be done. This makes it possible to perform office work in a state similar to working in an office. It is also possible to perform office work more comfortably by placing a cushion 7d. Furthermore, by moving the driver's seat 8 and passenger seat 9 to the rear of the vehicle, it is also possible to use the seat back portions 8A and 9A of the driver's seat 8 and passenger seat 9 as backrests.

[0060] The description of this embodiment is illustrative for explaining the present invention and does not limit the invention as described in the claims. Furthermore, the configuration of each part of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the technical scope described in the claims.

[0061] Furthermore, the width dimension of the luggage board 50 in this embodiment is greater than the width of the back door opening 4. Also, the spacing between adjacent support parts 11, 21, and 31 in the vehicle's vertical direction is set to allow the luggage board 50 to be inserted into the back door opening 4 when it is tilted vertically so that one end of the luggage board 50 in the vehicle's width direction is higher than the other end. That is, when the luggage board 50 is horizontal, the outer end of the luggage board 50 in the vehicle's width direction is positioned further outward than the side edge of the back door opening 4. When the luggage board 50 is tilted as described above, it can be inserted into the vehicle interior from the back door opening 4. With this configuration, the luggage board 50 can provide a wider space for performing the above-mentioned office work, and it is also easier to insert and remove the luggage board 50. This makes it easier to attach and detach the luggage board 50, while also allowing for more stable office work. In this embodiment, all of the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31 may be located outward in the vehicle width direction from the side edge of the back door opening 4, or some of the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31 may be located inward in the vehicle width direction from the side edge.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first to third restricting sections 13, 23, and 33 are provided at the rear of the first to third support sections 11, 21, and 31, but this is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in Figure 15, the first to third restricting sections 13, 23, and 33 may be provided at the front of the first to third support sections 11, 21, and 31.

[0063] Furthermore, the contact portions 12, 22, and 32 protrude upward from the support surfaces 11a, 21a, and 31a and inward from the reference surface 10a, but are not limited to this. For example, they may protrude inward from the inner surfaces of the support portions 11, 21, and 31, or they may protrude inward from the reference surface 10a with a gap between them and the support surfaces 11a, 21a, and 31a. They may also protrude inward from the reference surface 10a located on the vehicle-front side of the front end of the support surfaces 11a, 21a, and 31a.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the contact portions 51 and 52 of the luggage board 50 are notches that are recessed inward in the vehicle width direction, but this is not the only option. For example, as in this embodiment, two protrusions may be provided on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the lower surface of the luggage board 50 so as to engage with a convex shape that protrudes upward from the support surface, and the two protrusions may be arranged to sandwich the contact portion, thereby suppressing the movement of the luggage board 50.

[0065] Furthermore, the luggage board 50 of this embodiment can be used for different purposes on its front and back sides. When the front side board surface 54a shown in Figure 6 is the top surface (Figures 9, 11, 13, etc.), it can be used in the same way as a so-called office desk. When used in this way, it is easy to spread out documents and perform tasks such as writing on them. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 16, recesses 55a, 55b, 55c, 55d, etc. may be provided on the back side of the luggage board 50.

[0066] For example, the horizontally elongated recess 55d extends in the width direction of the vehicle, and its length in the front-to-back direction is set to be small. A thin, portable device, such as a so-called touch-panel type without a keyboard, may be inserted into this horizontally elongated recess 55d. In this case, the device can be placed vertically, allowing the user to view the device's display while performing office work. Furthermore, the display is easy to operate by touch. Alternatively, multiple horizontally elongated recesses 55d may be provided, separated into those for handset devices and those for devices with small displays.

[0067] Furthermore, by providing a rectangular recess 55a, it becomes easier to fix the placement position of office equipment such as laptop computers. As a result, the equipment can be positioned by the surrounding walls of the rectangular recess 55a, which reduces the likelihood of the equipment shifting position and makes it easier to operate. A small circular recess 55b may also be provided. This allows for the stable placement of, for example, a container of drinking water. Furthermore, a larger circular recess 55c, which is larger in diameter than the small circular recess 55b, may also be provided. The large circular recess 55c allows for the stable placement of a container (plate) of food. By providing such circular recesses 55b and 55c, office work involving eating and drinking becomes possible. In this embodiment, the luggage board 50 can be inverted upside down to suit the purpose of office work, making office work easier.

[0068] Furthermore, as described above, the portion of the luggage board 50 where the recesses 55a to 55d are provided on one board surface 54b may be a protruding portion that extends from the board surface 54b. Even with a structure that includes protruding portions, it is possible to create a structure that facilitates the positioning of various items. For example, when placing a thin portable device vertically, by providing a pair of protruding portions on the board surface 54b at a predetermined interval, the device can be placed vertically between the pair of protruding portions. In addition, by providing protruding portions, the protruding portions can function as ribs on the board surface 54b, thereby increasing the rigidity of the luggage board 50.

[0069] Furthermore, both recesses 55a to 55d and protrusions may be provided on the board surface 54b. For example, if the recesses 55a to 55d and the protrusions are placed adjacent to each other, it becomes possible to position the lower part of an article with the recesses while positioning the part above the lower part of the article with the protrusions.

[0070] Furthermore, of the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31, it is desirable that the first support surface 11a of the first support part, which is located at the bottom, be set larger than the other second and third support surfaces 21a and 31a. For example, when a luggage board 50 is installed on the first support part 11, heavy objects are often placed on it. In addition, it is also assumed that occupants will be riding on it. By setting the first support surface 11a larger than the other support surfaces 21a and 31a, the support rigidity is improved.

[0071] Furthermore, the front and back surfaces 54a and 54b of the luggage board 50 may be set to have different flexibility or elasticity. For example, when the luggage board 50 is installed on the first support 11 and an occupant stands on the board surface 54a, the board surface with greater elasticity can be made the board surface feel harder to the occupant by making it the upper surface. In this case, the board surface with less elasticity may be used for office work.

[0072] Furthermore, since the rear side of the reference surface 10a is gradually sloped inward compared to the front side, the rear side of the luggage board 50 in a horizontal position is narrowed so as to align with the rear side of the reference surface 10a. This allows the luggage board 50 to be positioned and the load transmitted to the luggage board 50 to be distributed by bringing it into contact with the reference surface 10a.

[0073] In this embodiment, contact parts / contacted parts are provided, but even without these, the luggage board 50 can still be used for office work. For example, in the structure of Figure 15, the rearward movement of the luggage board 50 may be restricted by a back door (not shown), or the modified structure shown in Figure 15 may be combined with the structure of the above embodiment, and parts corresponding to the first to third restricting parts 13, 23, and 33 may be provided on both the front and rear ends of the first to third support parts 11, 21, and 31, respectively. Furthermore, a well-known luggage board positioning structure can also be adopted for the side trim 10 or the luggage board. [Explanation of symbols]
