- the console comprises a frame and a container with at least one receiving compartment.
- the storage compartment may e.g. be designed as a cup holder, storage compartment or cooler.
- the container is movable relative to the frame.
- the container can be completely separated from the frame.
- the frame is fixed and the container is movable between a primary position and a secondary position. This can e.g. make sense if the frame has user interfaces (HMI).
- HMI user interfaces
- only one frame is fixedly arranged in the front region of the vehicle.
- a frame fixed e.g. only in the rear of the vehicle.
- a first frame is fixedly arranged in the front region of the vehicle and a second frame is fixedly arranged in the rear region, but only one container is present, which is in a box position
- the container can be moved by means of the guide to the rear, while the frame remains in the front of the vehicle.
- the container and the frame are movable separately or together between the primary and the secondary position.
- the frame and the container may e.g. be nested inside each other.
- the container may e.g. relative to the frame between a box position in which the container is nested to the frame and a separating position in which the container is completely separated from the frame are moved.
- the frame forms e.g. a tunnel into which the container is moved in the box position. In the box position, e.g. the frame and the container are moved together between the primary and the secondary position.
- the frame may e.g. form an armrest area. This can e.g. be adjustable in height. For this is e.g. provided an adjustment.
- the adjusting device may e.g. adjust the entire frame relative to a floor of a vehicle interior. According to an alternative embodiment, e.g. only a first part of the frame containing the armrest area is adjustable relative to a second part of the frame.
- the frame has, for example, at least one recess, through which of the at least one seat located next to the frame can be accessed in the box position on the container.
- This can be, for example, openings on opposite flanks of the frame.
- lateral access to the container is possible.
- the frame may for example be C-shaped and have lateral recesses. In this embodiment, it is possible, for example, that in addition to the container under an armrest of the frame, a storage compartment is provided.
- the frame has an opening which is closed by means of a movable between an open position and a closed position lid.
- the armrest area is e.g. arranged in the box position at least partially over the container. In the open position, access to the container through the opening is possible and in the closed position, the opening is closed.
- At least one guide device is provided, with which the container is guided on at least one movement path between a primary position and a secondary position.
- the container may e.g. be arranged by means of the guide device next to at least one seat.
- the container may be arranged between two seats that are located in a front area of the vehicle and / or between two seats that are located in a rear area of the vehicle.
- the primary position the container is e.g. arranged between seats of the rear area.
- the secondary position the container is e.g. arranged between seats of the rear area.
- the guide device forms, for example, a guide for the container and a guide for the frame. That is, by means of the guide device, the container or the frame separately or the container and the frame together - eg in a nested Position - to be moved between the primary and the secondary position.
- the guidance is e.g. formed by a guide rail or by a guide groove on which a fixedly connected to the frame or with the container guide element is guided.
- the container and / or the frame may be e.g. Controls, climate elements, sound elements and network connections included.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a vehicle interior according to a first embodiment
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along section line II - II in Fig. 1, wherein a container of a console is in a forward position
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view on the basis of FIG. 2, the container being arranged in a rear position, FIG.
- Fig. 4 is a side view of the vehicle interior according to a second embodiment.
- FIG. 1 the plan view of a vehicle 10 is shown schematically, wherein a vehicle wall 11 is indicated by a dashed line. When driving forward, the vehicle moves in the direction x1. In an interior space 12 of the vehicle 10, seats 14 and 15 are shown in a front area 13 and seats 17 and 18 in a rear area 16.
- the seats 14 and 15 and the seats 17 and 18 are at a distance a from each other.
- the distance a is dimensioned such that a bracket 19 can be arranged therebetween.
- the bracket 19 includes a frame 20 and a container 21.
- the frame 20 is formed in the present embodiment is approximately C-shaped (see Fig. 2).
- the frame 20 has an upper portion 22 and a lower portion 23. On both sides of the frame 20 recesses 32.
- the upper portion 22 forms an armrest 24 and is provided with a control panel 25.
- a receiving compartment 26 is formed in the upper region 22 (see FIG. 1), which can be opened with a cover 27 and closed again. In the closed position, the lid 27 forms part of the armrest 24.
- the frame 20 with the armrest 24 may be adjustable, for example, by means of an adjusting device in the direction z1 and z2.
- only the upper region 22 with the armrest 24 can be adjusted by means of an adjusting device in the direction z1 and z2.
- the upper portion 22 is moved relative to the lower portion 23.
- the lower portion 23 forms in the present embodiment, two approximately parallel feet 29 which are fixed to a bottom 28 of the interior 12. Of the feet 29, only one foot 29 can be seen in FIG.
- the lower portion 23 and the upper portion 22 form a tunnel 30.
- the lower portion 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom 28.
- the container 21 is movable by means of an adjusting device in the directions x1 and x2 between a primary position and a secondary position.
- the primary position of the container is shown in Fig. 2, the secondary position is shown in Fig. 3.
- the adjustment device comprises a guide device 31 with which the container 21 is guided in the directions x1 and x2 movable on the bottom 28.
- the guide device 31 is indicated in Fig. 2 by a parallel to the bottom 28 formed by dashed line. In this way, it is possible to move the container 21 into the tunnel 30, so that the container 21 and the frame 20 are in a nested position as shown in FIG. In this box position can be accessed through the recess 32 on the container 21. In the nested arrangement of container 21 and frame 20, the container 21 has no additional space.
- the adjusting device comprises e.g. a drive device, not shown.
- the container is e.g. adjustable by means of an electric drive between the primary position and the secondary position.
- the drive can e.g. on the control panel 25 or by an additional, not shown, control unit, which is in range of the seats 17 and 18, are controlled. 2, the container 21 is in the primary position.
- a frame 20 with a tunnel 30.
- the container When the container is moved between the seats 17 and 18, in the alternative embodiment it can also be moved into the tunnel 30 of the frame 20 located between the seats 17 and 18.
- a locking device is formed on the container 21, with which the container in any position relative to the guide 31 can be locked.
- the container 21 may be e.g. only in certain positions, e.g. locked in the primary position shown in FIG. 2 and in the secondary position shown in FIG. 3 relative to the guide 31.
- the container may be detachably lockable according to an alternative or in addition to the frame 20.
- a second embodiment is shown in FIG. It differs from the first embodiment only in that not only the container 21, but also the frame 20 in the directions x1 and x2 is movable.
- the frame 20 is movably guided in the directions x1 and x2 by means of the guide device 31.
- both the frame 20, and the container 21 separately or even - for example in the box position - together between a primary position between the seats 14 and 15 and a secondary position between the seats 17 and 18 and in intermediate positions.
- the frame 20 and the container 21 are arranged in a secondary position between the seats 17 and 18. From this position, the frame and the container can be moved together to the primary position, in which the console, the frame and the container in Fig. 4 are shown in dashed lines and designated 19 ', 20' and 21 '. In addition, it would also be possible to move the frame 21 or the container 21 separately from each other to the primary position or the secondary position.
