By the way, it is necessary for the interior parts of the vehicle to satisfy the internal collision requirement in consideration of safety in the event of a collision. For example, in the rotary holder device described in Patent Document 1, a human finger enters between the peripheral edge of the opening of the vehicle interior member and the peripheral edge of the holder opening of the rotating body in the open state where the holder opening is open. Since a relatively large gap is formed, it is required that both the vehicle interior member and the rotating body are formed in a shape satisfying the internal collision requirement. However, when the shape of the peripheral edge of the opening of the vehicle interior member is required to satisfy the internal collision requirement, the peripheral edge of the opening of the vehicle interior member functions as the bottom wall of the rotating body as a lid. Since it is exposed to the outside even in the closed state, the design of the rotary holder device may be hindered by the shape of the peripheral edge of the opening.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and is a rotary holder device capable of ensuring safety without forming the peripheral edge of the opening of the vehicle interior member into a shape satisfying the internal collision requirement. The purpose is to provide.

One aspect of the present invention is a rotary type including a vehicle interior member having an opening formed on the upper surface thereof and a rotating body rotatably attached to the vehicle interior member about a horizontal axis extending in the horizontal direction. In the holder device, the rotating body is provided with a tubular holder portion having a holder opening having a size corresponding to the opening and a rotation angle position different from that of the holder portion. The holder opening has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the opening, and the vehicle interior member and the rotating body have the holder opening. Is formed so that the radial gap formed between the peripheral edge of the opening and the rotating body in the vehicle interior member is less than a predetermined distance in a state of being opened through the opening. , The peripheral edge of the holder opening in the holder portion is a rotary holder device formed in a shape satisfying a predetermined internal collision requirement.

According to this configuration, it is not necessary to form the peripheral edge of the opening in the vehicle interior member into a shape satisfying the internal collision requirement, so that the design of the rotary holder device in the closed state is hindered. Can be prevented, and a flat feeling of the surface of the rotary holder device in the closed state can be realized. Further, since the peripheral edge of the holder opening of the holder portion of the rotating body is formed in a shape satisfying the internal collision requirement, the safety of the vehicle interior parts can be ensured in the open state of the rotary holder device.

Next, the operation of the rotary holder device 1 will be described.

In the rotary holder device 1, when the lid 63 of the rotating body 60 closes the opening 12 of the vehicle interior member 10, the arm member 81 attached to the second side wall member 22 of the vehicle interior member 10 is closed. When the protruding portion 82 of the rotating body 60 comes into contact with the stopper portion 84 of the rotating body 60, the rotating body 60 is restricted from returning to the rotation direction θ1 on the open state side around the horizontal axis C and rotating. Therefore, in the closed state in which the lid portion 63 of the rotating body 60 closes the opening 12 of the vehicle interior member 10, the closed state is maintained even if, for example, vehicle vibration occurs. In this closed state, the rotating body 60 is allowed to slightly rotate in the rotation direction θ2 about the horizontal axis C.

Further, in the closed state, a radial gap of less than a predetermined distance is formed between the peripheral edge of the opening 12 in the exposed member 11 of the vehicle interior member 10 and the rotating body 60. As described above, this predetermined distance is the diameter of a sphere used as a safety standard for internal protrusions of vehicle interiors specified in, for example, Europe and Japan. Therefore, it is not necessary to form the peripheral edge of the opening 12 in the surface member 11 into a shape satisfying the internal collision requirement, so that the design of the rotary holder device 1 in the closed state is hindered. It is possible to realize a flat surface feeling in the closed state of the rotary holder device 1.

When the occupant such as a driver switches from the closed state of the rotary holder device 1 to the open state in which the holder opening 64 of the holder portion 62 of the rotating body 60 is opened through the opening 12, the lid body The portion 63 is pressed downward. Specifically, the operation mark portion 65 on the surface of the lid body portion 63 is touched and the operation mark portion 65 is pressed downward. When the lid portion 63 is pressed downward in the closed state, the rotating body 60 rotates about the horizontal axis C in the rotation direction θ2. When the rotating body 60 is rotated in the rotation direction θ2 in this closed state, the protruding portion 82 of the arm member 81 abuts on the inclined portion 85 for opening operation of the rotating body 60, so that the arm member 81 is at one end. It is swung in the swing direction ω2 around the side. When the downward pressure of the lid portion 63 is released while the arm member 81 is swung in the swing direction ω2, the rotating body 60 is attached to the rotation direction θ1 by the urging force of the urging member 71. It is driven and rotates. The rotation of the rotating body 60 is performed while the speed is relaxed by the damper device 72. Then, when the rotating body 60 rotates about 90 ° about the horizontal axis C, the holder opening 64 is opened through the opening 12.

In the above open state, drinks to be held such as cans and PET bottles can be held in the holder portion 62 of the rotating body 60. Further, in the above-mentioned open state, a radial gap of less than a predetermined distance is formed between the peripheral edge of the opening 12 in the exposed member 11 of the vehicle interior member 10 and the rotating body 60. Therefore, it is not necessary to form the peripheral edge of the opening 12 in the surface member 11 into a shape satisfying the internal collision requirement, so that the design of the rotary holder device 1 in the open state is hindered. Can be prevented.

Further, the holder opening 64 has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the opening 12 of the surface member 11. The peripheral edge of the holder opening 64 is rounded over the entire circumference, and specifically, the radius of curvature used as a safety standard for internal protrusions of vehicle interior parts is 2.5 mm or more or It is formed in a shape that meets the internal collision requirement of 3.2 mm or more. Therefore, in the above-mentioned open state, it is possible to ensure the safety of the vehicle interior parts in the event of a collision or the like.

When the rotating body 60 is rotated in the rotation direction θ2, the protruding portion 82 of the arm member 81 comes into contact with the inclined portion 83 for closing operation of the rotating body 60, so that the arm member 81 is on one end side. Is oscillated in the oscillating direction ω1 about the above, and then the protruding portion 82 is guided by the guide portion 86, so that the protruding portion 82 is brought into contact with the stopper portion 84. When the projecting portion 82 comes into contact with the stopper portion 84, the rotating body 60 is in a closed state in which the lid portion 63 closes the opening 12 of the vehicle interior member 10. In this case, the closing operation knob 68 fits in the spherical space 23, and the rotating body 60 is restricted from returning to the rotation direction θ1 on the open state side and rotating.

In the above closed state, the holder opening 64 is hidden in the spherical space 23, and the peripheral edge of the holder opening 64 is not exposed to the outside. Therefore, even if the peripheral shape of the holder opening 64 satisfies the internal collision requirement. , It is possible to prevent the design of the rotary holder device 1 in the closed state from being impaired. Further, the bottom surface and the side surface of the holding space of the holder portion 62 are design surfaces that the drinks to be held come into contact with, and are easily damaged due to the contact. In the closed state, the holder portion 62 fits in the spherical space 23, and the design surface of the holding space of the holder portion 62 is not exposed to the outside. Therefore, the design surface of the holding space of the holder portion 62 is not exposed to the outside. It is not necessary to take measures against scratches, and the degree of freedom in the composition of the design surface can be increased.

Further, in the rotary holder device 1, the opening device 70 has an urging member 71 that generates an urging force that urges the rotating body 60 in the rotation direction θ1 from the closed state side to the open state side. When the occupant presses the surface of the lid portion 63 (specifically, the operation mark portion 65) downward in the closed state in which the lid portion 63 closes the opening 12, the urging force of the urging member 71 causes. The rotation of the rotating body 60 with respect to the vehicle interior member 10 brings the holder portion 62 into an open state in which the holder portion 62 is opened through the opening 12. Therefore, in order to switch the rotary holder device 1 from the closed state to the open state, the surface of the lid body portion 63 only needs to be pressed downward, so that the occupant can easily open the rotary holder device 1 with one hand. Can be.

Further, in the rotary holder device 1, the rotating body 60 is provided with a closing operation knob 68 that assists the operation of rotating the rotating body 60 from the open state to the rotation direction θ2 on the closed state side. The closing operation knob 68 is provided so as to project outward from the peripheral edge of the holder opening 64 on the rotation direction θ1 side with respect to the holder portion 62, and is inside the spherical space 23 located below the opening 12 in the closed state. In the open state, it protrudes above the opening 12. In this structure, in order to switch the rotary holder device 1 from the open state to the closed state, the closing operation knob 68 may be pressed in the rotation direction θ2, so that the occupant can use one hand due to the presence of the closing operation knob 68. The rotary holder device 1 can be closed by a simple operation.

Further, the closing operation knob 68 is oscillatingly attached to the rotating body 60 about an axis parallel to the horizontal axis C, and is urged toward the center side of the holder opening 64 so as to close the holder opening 64. In this structure, a force is applied to the drinks inserted into the holding space of the holder portion 62 from the tip end side of the closing operation knob 68 to the opposite side across the holder opening 64. In this case, the drinks inserted in the holder portion 62 are sandwiched between the closing operation knob 68 and the side surface of the holding space of the holder portion 62. Therefore, the drinks held in the holder portion 62 can be brought into contact with the side surface of the holding space, and the contact state can be maintained, so that the drinks held in the holder portion 62 can be held. It is possible to regulate and support the movement in the radial direction in the space, and it is possible to suppress the rattling of the drinks.

Further, comb tooth portions 26 are provided on the inner surfaces of the side wall members 21 and 22 of the vehicle interior member 10. On the outer surface of the rotating body 60, a comb tooth portion 67 is provided corresponding to the comb tooth portion 26 of the side wall members 21 and 22. The comb teeth 26 of the side wall members 21 and 22 and the comb teeth 67 of the rotating body 60 move relative to each other while meshing with each other when the rotating body 60 rotates with respect to the vehicle interior member 10. The concave portion 26a and the convex portion 26b of the comb tooth portion 26 and the convex portion 67a and the concave portion 67b of the comb tooth portion 67 each have a predetermined width corresponding to the size of the falling object to be scooped up.

In this structure, if the falling object that has fallen from the opening 12 of the exposed member 11 of the vehicle interior member 10 into the spherical space 23 has a size exceeding a predetermined width, the falling object is the vehicle interior member. It is caught between the comb tooth portion 26 on the 10 side and the comb tooth portion 67 of the rotating body 60. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a falling object that has fallen from the opening 12 into the spherical space 23 from falling further downward from the gap between the inner surface of the vehicle interior member 10 and the outer surface of the rotating body 60, and the next rotating body 60. It is possible to scoop up the fallen object caught during the rotation of the fallen object and allow the occupant to pick up the fallen object through the opening 12.

By the way, in the above embodiment, the operation mark portion 65 operated by the occupant during the opening operation is a protruding portion protruding outward from the surface of the lid portion 63. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The operation mark portion 65 may be a mark indicating a portion to be touched by the occupant during the opening operation, and for example, a portion recessed on the surface of the lid portion 63 or a color contrasting with other surfaces of the lid portion 63. It may be a sticker display or the like.

Further, in the above embodiment, the lid portion 63 of the rotating body 60 is pressed downward in the closed state of the rotary holder device 1, and is rotated by the urging force of the urging member 71 of the opening device 70. The body 60 rotates, and the holder portion 62 is opened through the opening 12. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In one operation in which the rotating body 60 is pressed in the rotation direction θ2 in the open state of the rotary holder device 1, the rotating body 60 is rotated by the urging force of the urging member of the predetermined closing device, and the lid portion 63 is opened. It may be in a closed state that closes the portion 12. Further, switching from the closed state in which the lid portion 63 closes the opening 12 to the open state in which the holder portion 62 is opened through the opening 12 and the switching from the open state to the closed state, respectively. It may be performed by one operation using a turnover spring.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
