  As shown in FIG. 1, with the console lid 14 facing the fully closed position, the third engagement protrusion 30 is located at the front end of the first guide portion 28a in the guide groove 28, and the first guide portion 28a It functions to guide the third engagement protrusion 30 when the console lid 14 in the closed position slides toward the half-open position. When the console lid 14 reaches the half open position, the third engagement protrusion 30 is positioned at the rear end of the first guide portion 28a (see FIG. 6), and from this state to the second guide portion 28b. The third engaging protrusion 30 can be moved. As shown in FIG. 7, the second guide portion 28b rotates so that the rear end of the console lid 14 is lowered with the first engagement protrusion 23 as a fulcrum at the half-open position of the console lid 14 (clockwise in FIG. 7). It functions to guide the third engaging protrusion 30 when it is turned. In other words, the second guide portion 28 b is formed in an arc shape centered on the first engagement protrusion 23, and can smoothly guide the third engagement protrusion 30. Then, the third engagement protrusion 30 reaches the connecting portion 31 between the second guide portion 28b and the third guide portion 28c, so that the console lid 14 stands up obliquely on the rear side of the console body 10 and stores articles. The posture is held at a fully open position where the upper opening 13 of the portion 11 is fully opened. An inclined surface 10a that is inclined rearward as it goes downward from the upper end is formed on the upper rear portion of the console body 10, and the console lid 14 that faces the fully open position is supported by the inclined surface 10a. Further, the center of gravity of the console lid 14 in the fully open position faces the position where the console lid 14 is rotated in the direction of pushing up the third engagement protrusion 30 facing the connecting portion 31 with the first engagement protrusion 23 as a fulcrum. Thus, the console lid 14 is not closed by its own weight.

  The third engaging projection 30 facing the connecting portion 31 is configured to be allowed to move to the third guide portion 28c, and the rear end of the console lid 14 is used with the first engaging projection 23 as a fulcrum. The third engagement protrusion 30 is configured to be guided by the third guide portion 28c and reach the front end of the first guide portion 28a when turning upward (counterclockwise rotation in FIG. 7).

The third guide portion 28c is formed in an arc shape that protrudes outward from the triangular shape formed by the guide groove 28, and the third guide portion 28c rotates and displaces while being guided by the third engagement protrusion 30. The second engaging protrusion 27 of the lid 14 smoothly enters the front entrance 25a.

  The connecting portion 31 between the second guide portion 28b and the third guide portion 28c in the guide groove 28 is restricted from moving the third engaging protrusion 30 that has arrived at the connecting portion 31 to the second guide portion 28b. The rotating body 32 as a regulating means is pivotally supported in a state in which only rotation in one direction is allowed. As shown in FIG. 5, the rotating body 32 is formed in an impeller shape having a plurality of restricting pieces 32a protruding in the circumferential direction, and a third engagement member is provided between the adjoining restricting pieces 32a and 32a. A recess 32b that can receive the mating protrusion 30 is formed. The rotating body 32 is disposed between the second guide portion 28b and the connecting portion 31 so that the restricting piece 32a closes the second guide portion 28b. And the 3rd engagement protrusion 30 which moves toward the connection part 31 from the 2nd guide part 28b contact | abuts with respect to the control piece 32a which has block | closed the 2nd guide part 28b, and the rotary body 32 to the direction which advances. The rotation (clockwise rotation in FIG. 5) is allowed and set so as to allow the third engagement protrusion 30 to enter the connecting portion 31 (see FIG. 8). On the other hand, the third engaging protrusion 30 that has arrived at the connecting portion 31 from the third guide portion 28c comes into contact with the restricting piece 32a blocking the second guide portion 28b and shifts to the second guide portion 28b. The rotating body 32 is not allowed to rotate in the direction, and the third engaging protrusion 30 is prevented from shifting from the continuous portion 31 to the second guide portion 28b.

  The connecting portion 31 is provided with a plate spring 33 as an elastic body on the upper end side of the third guide portion 28 c, and the third engaging protrusion 30 that has arrived at the connecting portion 31 is elastically held by the plate spring 33. It is configured to be able to. However, when the third engaging protrusion 30 moves from the third guide portion 28c to the connecting portion 31 and when it moves from the connecting portion 31 to the third guide portion 28c, the leaf spring 33 is elastically deformed. The transition of the third engagement protrusion 30 is allowed.

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the console lid opening and closing structure according to the embodiment will be described. As described above, the structure for supporting the console lid 14 so as to be openable and closable with respect to the console body 10 is disposed on both the left and right sides with the inner member 16 interposed therebetween. In the following description, the side shown in FIG. The description will be given with reference.

  As shown in FIG. 1, with the console lid 14 facing the fully closed position, the first engagement protrusion 23 is positioned at the rear end of the first slide groove 24, and the second engagement protrusion 27 is the second slide groove. The third engagement protrusion 30 is located at the front end of the first guide portion 28 a in the guide groove 28. When the front region 11a of the article storage unit 11 is opened from this state, the console lid 14 is pushed by the console lid 14 as shown in FIG. It is guided along the corresponding grooves 24 and 25 and the first guide part 28a and retreats horizontally. Then, the first engagement protrusion 23 arrives at the front end of the first slide groove 24, the second engagement protrusion 27 arrives at the rear end of the second slide groove 25, and the third engagement protrusion 30 becomes the first. By arriving at the rear end of the guide portion 28a, the backward movement of the console lid 14 is restricted and the lid 14 is held in the half-open position. At this time, the front area 11a in the article storage section 11 is opened, and the article can be stored or taken out from the front area 11a.

  When the console lid 14 held in the half-opened position is pushed forward, the respective engaging projections 23, 27, 30 are guided horizontally along the corresponding grooves 24, 25 and the first guide portion 28a and advanced. When the respective engaging projections 23, 27, 30 arrive at the corresponding grooves 24, 25 and the end portions of the first guide portion 28a, the position of the console lid 14 is restricted in the fully closed position.

  In the state where the console lid 14 is held at the half open position, when the article storage portion 11 is fully opened, the second engagement is achieved by pulling the front portion of the console lid 14 upward while holding the finger hook portion 19a. The protrusion 27 is detached from the second slide groove 25 through the rear entrance 25b, and the console lid 14 is allowed to rotate. That is, the console lid 14 rotates so that the rear end portion thereof is lowered on the rear side of the console body 10 with the first engagement protrusion 23 positioned at the front end of the first slide groove 24 as a fulcrum. At this time, the third engagement protrusion 30 moves from the rear end of the first guide portion 28a to the second guide portion 28b, and the third engagement protrusion 30 is guided along the second guide portion 28b. The rotational displacement of the console lid 14 from the half open position toward the fully open position is smoothly performed.

  When the third engagement protrusion 30 moving the second guide portion 28b comes into contact with the regulating piece 32a of the rotating body 32 closing the space between the second guide portion 28b and the connecting portion 31, the third engagement is performed. As the protrusion 30 moves, the rotating body 32 rotates to allow the third engaging protrusion 30 to enter the connecting portion 31 (see FIGS. 8A to 8C). The third engagement protrusion 30 that has arrived at the continuous portion 31 is elastically held by the leaf spring 33 while being received in the recess 32 b of the rotating body 32. At this time, the console lid 14 reaches the fully open position and is held in an oblique standing posture supported by the inclined surface 10a of the console body 10 as shown in FIG. In the fully open position of the console lid 14, the upper opening 13 of the article storage unit 11 is fully opened, and articles can be taken in and out of the front area 11a and the rear area 11b. Note that the center of gravity of the console lid 14 in the fully open position faces the position where the console lid 14 is rotated clockwise (the direction in which the third engagement protrusion 30 is pushed up) with the first engagement protrusion 23 as a fulcrum in FIG. Since the third engagement protrusion 30 positioned in the continuous portion 31 is elastically held by the leaf spring 33, the console lid 14 in the fully open position is prevented from being inadvertently closed.

  In the state where the console lid 14 is held at the fully open position, when the article storage portion 11 is fully closed, the front portion of the console lid 14 is pushed downward toward the front side while holding the finger hook portion 19a. As a result, the third engagement protrusion 30 facing the connecting portion 31 moves to the third guide portion 28c while elastically deforming the leaf spring 33, and the third engagement protrusion 30 guides along the third guide portion 28c. As a result, the console lid 14 moves forward as a whole while rotating about the first engagement protrusion 23 as a fulcrum. Then, the second engagement protrusion 27 disposed on the front portion of the console lid 14 is inserted into the second slide groove 25 through the front entrance 25a, and the third engagement protrusion 30 is the first guide portion. By arriving at the front end of 28a, the console lid 14 is held in the fully closed position. In addition, since the 3rd guide part 28c is formed in the arc shape, the 2nd engagement protrusion 27 is substantially set with respect to the front entrance 25a by the 3rd engagement protrusion 30 being guided by this 3rd guide part 28c. Since it moves so that it may approach from right above, the approach of the 2nd engagement protrusion 27 with respect to this front entrance 25a is performed smoothly.

  Further, since the third engaging projection 30 facing the connecting portion 31 is prevented from moving to the second guide portion 28b by the rotating body 32, the third engaging projection is erroneously pushed down when the console lid 14 is pushed down. 30 does not move to the second guide portion 28b and return to the half-open position. That is, the console lid 14 in the fully open position can always be returned to the fully closed position with one action.

  Here, in order to displace the console lid 14 held in the fully closed position to the fully opened position, as described above, the console lid 14 is moved back to the half-opened position and then rotated in two actions. Can be done with action. That is, when the front portion of the console lid 14 is pulled up while grasping the finger hook portion 19a, the second engagement protrusion 27 is detached from the second slide groove 25 through the front entrance 25a, and the console lid 14 is rotated. Is acceptable. That is, the console lid 14 rotates so that the front end portion is raised with the first engagement protrusion 23 positioned at the rear end of the first slide groove 24 as a fulcrum. At this time, the third engagement protrusion 30 moves from the front end of the first guide portion 28a to the third guide portion 28c, and the third engagement protrusion 30 moves along the third guide portion 28c, whereby the console lid The whole 14 moves backward while rotating. At this time, while the first slide groove 24 is guided by the first engagement protrusion 23, the first engagement protrusion 23 moves relative to the first slide groove 24 toward the front end side. And when the 3rd engagement protrusion 30 arrives at the connection part 31, this console lid 14 reaches a fully open position. At this time, the third engagement protrusion 30 is elastically held by the leaf spring 33, whereby the console lid 14 is held in the fully open position.

  According to the console lid opening / closing structure of the embodiment configured as described above, the following operational effects can be obtained. First, since a simple cam mechanism is adopted as the opening / closing structure of the console lid 14, the configuration is simplified, and the assembly man-hours and the parts manufacturing costs can be reduced. Further, since the attitude displacement of the console lid 14 from the fully closed position to the fully opened position and the attitude displacement from the fully opened position to the fully closed position can be performed with one action, the operability is improved.

  Further, since the third engaging protrusion 30 of the console lid 14 facing the fully open position cannot be moved to the second guide portion 28b by the rotating body 32, the console lid 14 is changed from the fully open position to the half open position. The posture is not displaced, and the posture can always be displaced to the fully closed position by one action. Note that the console lid 14 is engaged with the first slide groove 24 at the time of the rotational displacement from the half-open position to the fully-open position and the rotational displacement between the fully-closed position and the fully-open position. Since the third engagement protrusion 30 is guided by the second guide portion 28b or the third guide portion 28c with the one engagement protrusion 23 as a fulcrum, the console lid 14 is stably rotated.

[Example of change]
The present application is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and other configurations can be appropriately employed.
1. A configuration may be employed in which the console body is provided with a third engagement protrusion, and a guide groove in which the third engagement protrusion is engaged is provided in the console lid. In this case, a third engaging protrusion is provided at a position corresponding to the continuous portion of FIG. 1 in the console body, and a guide groove having a shape inverted upside down from the embodiment is provided in the console lid. The state in which the third engagement protrusion faces the rear end of the guide portion may be the fully closed position. In this modified example, the third engagement protrusion functions as a guide unit, and the guide groove functions as an engagement unit.
2. The guide groove and the third engagement protrusion need only be provided on either the left or right side of the console body and the console lid.
3. When the console lid is rotationally displaced from the half-open position to the full-open position, the second guide portion to which the third engagement protrusion is guided does not have to be arcuate as in the embodiment. For example, as long as the console lid does not engage with the first engagement protrusion, the second guide portion may have a shape extending vertically upward. Similarly, the third guide portion, to which the third engagement protrusion is guided when the console lid is displaced between the fully closed position and the fully open position, does not have to be arc-shaped as in the embodiment, but has a linear shape.

4). For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a plate spring member 34 provided on the upper side of the second guide portion 28b can be employed as the restricting means provided in the continuous portion. The plate spring member 34 is always held in a posture that closes the space between the second guide portion 28b and the continuous portion 31, and moves from the second guide portion 28b toward the continuous portion 31. When 30 abuts on the leaf spring member 34, the second guide portion 28b is opened by retracting from the second guide portion 28b, and the third engaging protrusion 30 is allowed to enter the connecting portion 31. And when the 3rd engagement protrusion 30 spaces apart from the leaf | plate spring member 34, it is comprised so that it may return to the initial position which plugs up the 2nd guide part 28b with own elasticity. On the other hand, even if the third engagement protrusion 30 comes into contact with the leaf spring member 34 in the initial posture from the side of the connecting portion 31, the second guide portion 28 b is not retracted. Transition to the second guide portion 28b is prevented. According to this modified example, the configuration of the restricting means is simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be further reduced.
The restricting means is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment and the modified type, and allows the transition of the third engagement protrusion from the second guide portion to the connecting portion, and from the connecting portion to the second guide. Any other configuration can be adopted as long as the transition to the portion can be prevented.
5. In the embodiment, the console lid is positioned and held in the fully closed position and the semi-open position by abutting the third engaging protrusions on the front and rear ends of the first guide part in the guide groove. By providing a stopper mechanism at an appropriate position, the console lid can be held at an appropriate position between the fully open position and the half open position. As the stopper mechanism, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a third engaging protrusion that reaches a position where the stopper 28a is arranged with a part of the stopper 35 formed by bending a leaf spring facing the first guide portion 28a. A configuration that elastically holds 30 can be employed. The stopper mechanism is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 10, and the third engagement protrusion can be temporarily held, and the holding mechanism is released when the console lid is pushed in the front-rear direction with a required force. The following configuration can be adopted.
6). In the embodiment, the console lid is slid in the front-rear direction so as to face the fully-closed position and the half-open position. However, the console lid is slid in the left-right direction with respect to the console body to be fully closed. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which it can face the fully open position by rotating from the fully closed position or the half open position toward the left or right side, while facing the position and the half open position.

  The opening / closing structure of the console lid according to the present invention is such that the console lid disposed at the upper part of the console body defining the article storage portion is displaced in the fully closed position, the half open position, and the fully open position with respect to the article storage portion. It can be suitably applied to all automobiles equipped with a console box.
