It has become. Since the first locking disk 51 and the mounting base member 53 assembled with the first locking disk 51 are disposed in the console body 10, they are not exposed to the outside of the floor console FC. Further, since the second locking disk 52 and the mounting base member 59 assembled with the second locking disk 52 are disposed in the console lid 20, they are not exposed to the outside of the floor console FC. That is, each component of the linkage mechanism 50 is configured not to be exposed to the outside of the floor console FC even when the console lid 20 is brought to the fully open position.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the linkage mechanism 50 disposed in the floor console FC is configured such that the support arms 23 and 24 in the rotary connection mechanism 40 are rearward with respect to the lid pivot shaft 41 when the console lid 20 is opened. Since it rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. 1, the mounting base member 53 fixed to the first support arm 23 rotates in the clockwise direction with respect to the first locking disk 51 fixed to the lid pivot shaft 41. At this time, since the first locking disk 51 accommodated in the mounting base member 53 does not rotate, the relative position between the opening 53C of the mounting base member 53 and the end surface locking groove 62 of the first locking disk 51 changes. To do. That is, since the opening 53C moves rearward along the end surface locking groove 62, in the first locking disk 51 in the mounting base member 53, the path around which the first wire 55 is wound becomes long. The path around which the second wire 56 is wound is shortened. Here, since the first wire 55 and the second wire 56 are inserted through the flexible tube 54, there is no change in the distance from the first locking disk 51 to the second locking disk 52. That is, when the console lid 20 is opened, the first wire 55 is pulled to the first locking disk 51 side. Since the first wire 55 and the second wire 56 are wound around the second locking disk 52 in a state of being inserted into the opening 59C provided in the mounting base member 59, the second locking disk 52 is In FIG. 3, the pinion gear 45 rotates clockwise around the rotation support shaft 47, and the pinion gear 45 rotates clockwise in FIG. 3. Therefore, in the console lid opening / closing structure of the embodiment, when the console lid 20 facing the fully closed position is rotated in the direction of the fully opened position, the rotation of the second locking disk 52 in the linkage mechanism 50 causes the slide mechanism 44 to move. Since the pinion gear 45 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. 3, the slide member 30 is configured to slide in the right direction in FIG. 3, that is, the rear side of the console body 10 with respect to the rotation base member 21. When the console lid 20 reaches the fully open position, as shown in FIG. 7, the slide member 30 slides to the rear side with respect to the rotation base member 21 by a required amount (for example, about 100 mm).

  Further, when the console lid 20 is closed, the linkage mechanism 50 rotates forward with respect to the lid pivot shaft 41 (counterclockwise in FIG. 1) with respect to the pivot support shaft 41. The mounting base member 53 fixed to the first support arm 23 rotates counterclockwise with respect to the first locking disk 51 fixed to the lid pivot shaft 41. At this time, since the first locking disc 51 accommodated in the mounting base member 53 does not rotate, the relative position between the opening 53C in the mounting base member 53 and the end surface locking groove 62 of the first locking disc 51 changes. To do. That is, since the opening 53C moves forward along the end surface locking groove 62, in the first locking disk 51 in the mounting base member 53, the path around which the second wire 56 is wound becomes long. The path around which the first wire 55 is wound is shortened. That is, when the console lid 20 is closed, the second wire 56 is pulled to the first locking disk 51 side. Since the first wire 55 and the second wire 56 are wound around the second locking disk 52 in a state of being inserted into the opening 59C provided in the mounting base member 59, the second locking disk 52 is In FIG. 3, it rotates counterclockwise around the rotation support shaft 47, and the pinion gear 45 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. Therefore, in the console lid opening / closing structure of the embodiment, when the console lid 20 facing the fully open position is rotated in the direction of the fully closed position, the rotation of the second locking disk 52 in the linkage mechanism 50 causes the slide mechanism 44 to move. Since the pinion gear 45 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 3, the slide member 30 is configured to slide in the left direction in FIG. 3, that is, the front side of the console body 10 with respect to the rotation base member 21.

(Operation of Example)
In the floor console FC having the console lid opening / closing structure of the embodiment, when the console lid 20 faces the fully closed position, as shown in FIG. 1, the console lid 20 is placed on the lid placement surface 14. Then, the upper opening 13A of the article storage unit 13 is covered. Further, the locking portion 36C of the lock release lever 36 is locked to the locked portion 16 of the console body 10, and the console lid 20 is locked in the fully closed position. When the console lid 20 faces the fully closed position, the pinion gear 45 meshes with a portion near the rear end of the rack gear 46 (FIGS. 1 and 3).

  When the console lid 20 is opened, the front end portion of the slide member 30 is released after the finger hooking portion 36B of the unlocking lever 36 is pulled upward to release the locking portion 36C from the locked portion 16. Is lifted rearward and upward, and the console lid 20 is rotated rearward. When the opening operation of the console lid 20 is started, as shown in FIG. 6, the attachment base member 53 rotates around the lid pivot shaft 41 as the first support arm 23 rotates. The relative position between the fixed first locking disk 51 and the mounting base member 53 changes. That is, since the opening 53C of the mounting base member 53 moves rearward along the end surface locking groove 62 of the first locking disk 51, the first wire 55 is pulled toward the first locking disk 51. When the first wire 55 is pulled toward the first locking disk 51, the second locking disk 52 pivotally supported by the rotation base member 21 and the pinion gear 45 in the slide mechanism 44 rotate as described above. Accordingly, the rack gear 46 meshed with the pinion gear 45 moves rearward, and the slide member 30 slides backward with respect to the rotation base member 21. That is, when the console lid 20 is opened, the rotation of the rotary base member 21 with respect to the console body 10 and the rearward movement of the slide member 30 with respect to the rotary base member 21 occur simultaneously. The console lid 20 is displaced from the fully closed position to the fully open position in one action.

  When the console lid 20 is closed, the upper end portion of the inclined slide member 30 is pushed downward and downward, and the console lid 20 is rotated forward. When the closing operation of the console lid 20 is started, the attachment base member 53 rotates around the lid pivot shaft 41 in the direction opposite to the open state as the first support arm 23 rotates, and the lid pivot shaft 41 is rotated. The relative position of the first locking disk 51 fixed to the mounting base member 53 changes. That is, since the opening 53C of the mounting base member 53 moves forward along the end surface locking groove 62 of the first locking disk 51, the second wire 56 is pulled toward the first locking disk 51. When the second wire 56 is pulled toward the first locking disk 51, the second locking disk 52 pivotally supported by the rotary base member 21 and the pinion gear 45 in the slide mechanism 44 rotate in the direction opposite to that in the open state. To do. Accordingly, the rack gear 46 meshed with the pinion gear 45 moves forward, and the slide member 30 slides forward with respect to the rotation base member 21. That is, even when the console lid 20 is closed, the rotation of the rotary base member 21 with respect to the console body 10 and the forward movement of the slide member 30 with respect to the rotary base member 21 occur simultaneously. The console lid 20 is displaced from the fully open position to the fully closed position in one action.

  Therefore, according to the opening / closing structure of the console lid of the embodiment, the following operational effects can be obtained. First, the first support arm 23 of the rotary coupling mechanism 40 and the pinion gear 45 of the slide mechanism 44 are linked by the first wire 55 and the second wire 56 in the linkage mechanism 50 and connected to the first locking disk 51. The second locking disk 52 is rotated by being pulled by the first wire 55 or the second wire 56, and the slide mechanism 44 is operated as the second locking disk 52 rotates. Therefore, when the console lid 20 is opened, the rotation of the rotary base member 21 with respect to the console body 10 and the sliding movement of the slide member 30 with respect to the rotary base member 21 are simultaneously expressed in conjunction with each other. The opening operation of the lid 20 is smoothly performed. Further, even when the console lid 20 is closed, the rotation of the rotary base member 21 with respect to the console body 10 and the sliding movement of the slide member 30 with respect to the rotary base member 21 occur simultaneously, so that one action can be achieved. The operation closes the console lid 20 smoothly. The linkage mechanism 50 is a simple connection that connects the first locking disk 51 fixed to the console body 10 and the second locking disk 52 disposed on the rotary base member 21 with the first wire 55 and the second wire 56. Due to the simple structure, the manufacturing cost can be prevented from increasing and the weight is hardly increased.

  When the console lid 20 is opened and closed, the first wire 55 or the second wire 56 moves with the rotation of the mounting base member 53 so that the opening 53C provided in the mounting base member 53 moves. The length of the portion of 55 that is wound around the first locking disk 51 and the length of the portion of the second wire 56 that is wound around the first locking disk 51 change, so that the second locking disk 52 rotates. It becomes like this. Further, the first wire 55 and the second wire 56 are disposed in the first support arm 23, and the first locking disk 51 and the second locking disk 52 are disposed in the console main body 10 and the console lid 20. Respectively. Therefore, since each component of the linkage mechanism 50 is not exposed to the outside of the floor console FC, the appearance does not deteriorate when the console lid 20 is brought to the fully open position.

(Another embodiment)
FIG. 8 is a partial side view showing a floor console having a console lid opening / closing structure according to another embodiment, partially broken in a state where the console lid is held in a fully closed position. In the floor console FC of this other embodiment, the lid pivot shaft 41 is fixed to the upper rear end of the console body 10 so as not to rotate, and the support 28 of the rotary base member 21 is directly connected to the lid pivot shaft 41. It has a form. That is, the rotary base member 21 has a connecting boss portion 90 projecting downward from the rear end edge portion of the support 28, and the lid pivot shaft 41 is inserted into the connecting boss portion 90, thereby rotating the console body 10. Connected as possible. A wire insertion port 91 through which the flexible tube 54 (first wire 55 and second wire 56) in the linkage mechanism 50 is inserted is formed at the rear end portion of the support 28.

  The basic structure of the linkage mechanism 50 is the same as that of the above-described embodiment. The first locking disk 51 is fixed to the lid pivot shaft 41 so as not to rotate, and the second locking disk 52 is fixed to the rotation support shaft 47. The first locking disk 51 and the second locking disk 52 are connected to each other by a first wire 55 and a second wire 56, which are fixed to the lower surface of the pinion gear 45 while being inserted. However, the opening / closing mechanism of another embodiment does not have the mounting base member 53 that accommodates the first locking disk 51, and the wire insertion port 91 that inserts the first wire 55 and the second wire 56, It is configured to directly face the outer peripheral locking groove 61 of the first locking disk 51. That is, the first wire 55 and the second wire 56 are connected to the first locking disk 51 and the second locking disk 52 in a state of being inserted through the wire insertion port 91.

  In the opening / closing structure of another embodiment, when the opening operation of the console lid 20 is started, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the support body 28 of the rotation base member 21 rotates backward about the lid pivot shaft 41. The relative position between the first locking disk 51 fixed to the lid pivot shaft 41 and the rotation base member 21 (wire insertion port 91) changes. That is, since the wire insertion port 91 of the rotation base member 21 moves rearward along the end surface locking groove 62 of the first locking disk 51, the first wire 55 is moved to the first engagement as in the above-described embodiment. Pulled to the stop disk 51 side. Accordingly, the pinion gear 45 in the second locking disk 52 and the slide mechanism 44 rotates as described above, and the slide member 30 slides backward with respect to the rotation base member 21.

  When the closing operation of the console lid 20 is started, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the support 28 of the rotation base member 21 is rotated forward about the lid pivot shaft 41, and the lid pivot is supported. The relative position between the first locking disk 51 fixed to the shaft 41 and the rotation base member 21 (wire insertion port 91) changes. That is, since the wire insertion port 91 of the rotation base member 21 moves forward along the end surface locking groove 62 of the first locking disk 51, the second wire 56 is pulled toward the first locking disk 51. Accordingly, the pinion gear 45 in the second locking disk 52 and the slide mechanism 44 rotates in the direction opposite to that when opened, and the slide member 30 slides forward with respect to the rotation base member 21.

  Therefore, also in the console lid opening / closing structure according to another embodiment, at the time of opening operation and closing operation of the console lid 20, the rotation of the rotation base member 21 with respect to the console body 10 and the slide member 30 with respect to the rotation base member 21. Since the slide movement is expressed simultaneously in conjunction with the slide movement, the opening / closing operation of the console lid 20 is smoothly performed by the action of one action, and the same effect as the above-described embodiment is obtained.

  In addition, in the another Example mentioned above, although the case where the attachment base member 59 which accommodates the 2nd latching disk 52 was provided was illustrated, this attachment base member 59 can also be abbreviate | omitted. That is, the mounting base member 59 is provided by providing a wire insertion portion through which the first wire 55 and the second wire 66 are inserted on the upper surface of the support 28 so as to face the end surface locking groove 62 of the second locking disk 52. It can be omitted.

  In the other embodiment described above, the mounting base member 53 that accommodates the first locking disk 51 may be disposed so as to be fixed to the support 28 of the rotating base member 21 as in the above-described embodiment.

  In the embodiment described above, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the mounting base member 53 that accommodates the first locking disk 51 is omitted as in the other embodiments described above. When the mounting base member 53 is omitted in this way, the lower end opening 23C in the disposition groove 23B provided in the first support arm 23 faces the end surface locking groove 62 of the first locking disk 51, and the lower end opening is formed. The part 23C functions as a wire insertion opening. Furthermore, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the mounting base member 59 that accommodates the second locking disk 52 is omitted.

  In the above-described embodiments and other embodiments, the case where the first linkage member 51 and the second linkage member 52 are pulley-shaped locking disks has been illustrated, but the shapes of these linkage members 51 and 52 are not limited to disks. . For example, the first wire 55 and the second wire 56 extend in a direction intersecting with the extending direction (longitudinal direction of the flexible tube 54), and are fixed to the lid pivot shaft 41 or pivotable to the rotation support shaft 47. You may make it engage the edge part of the 1st wire 55 and the 2nd wire 56 with the both ends of the lever-shaped member supported. Furthermore, the 1st linkage member 51 and the 2nd linkage member 52 are good also as a disk-shaped member etc. of a fan shape.

  In the above-described embodiment, the flexible tube 54 in which the first wire 55 and the second wire 56 are inserted is illustrated in the wiring groove 23B formed in the first support arm 23. The rear end upper surface of the console body 10 and the rear end lower surface of the console lid 20 may be disposed so as to pass therethrough.
