Description

  The present invention relates to an automobile console structure provided with a cup holder, and belongs to the technical field of vehicle interior equipment.

  An automobile may be provided with a console that extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle through the left and right front seats and includes a shift operation unit and an armrest.

  The console may be provided with a cup holder for placing a cup containing a drink, and various structures have been proposed as the arrangement structure. For example, as the simplest structure, there is a case where a recess for placing a cup is provided on the upper surface of the console, but in this case, there is a problem that the continuity of the upper surface of the console is lost and the appearance is impaired. As a structure that can solve this problem, for example, there is a structure in which a lid is provided almost horizontally so as to have continuity with the upper surface of the console, and the lid is pivotally supported so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction on the rear end side or front end side. Conceivable. However, in this case, if the lid is in an upright state when it is in the open state, the lid will protrude greatly above the upper surface of the console, which may interfere with placing the arm on the armrest or shift It may interfere with the operation of the operation lever.

  Therefore, the lid is accommodated in a substantially horizontal closed state covering the holder main body from above around the rotation axis extending in the vehicle width direction and in a space in front of or behind the holder main body in the space in the console. It can be considered to be provided so as to be rotatable between an almost vertical open state.

  However, in the case of such a structure, it is necessary to provide a gap between the lid and the front end or the rear end of the cup holder body so that the lid does not come into contact when the lid is in an open state. It is necessary to provide a space for minutes. Therefore, when the longitudinal length of the vehicle as a whole cup holder becomes long and the longitudinal length of the console is constant, there is a problem that the space of other portions is compressed.

  In order to solve this problem, for example, in Patent Document 1, in the case where a cup holder is provided in an armrest, the cup holder constitutes the peripheral wall and the bottom wall of the holder, and the front of the peripheral wall. A holder body provided with a notch from above on the part, and a substantially horizontal closed state covering the holder body from above around the rotation axis provided in the vehicle width direction and a part of the notch in the holder body And a lid having a lid that can be rotated between an open state and a part of the peripheral wall of the cup holder. According to this, the front and rear length of the entire cup holder is shortened by a part corresponding to the gap and the part of the thickness of the lid, thereby making it compact.
