Title: Console box for a vehicle

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) 
     This application claims under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0160955 filed on Nov. 22, 2021 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a console box for a vehicle which may be accessed in multiple directions and to which various functions may be added, thereby increasing user convenience. 
     DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART 
     In general, a simplified floor console box installed on a floor panel between separator seats has been used in a vehicle. Such a floor console box has been widely used for storing items of passengers. 
     The console box may include a box-type body installed on the upper surface of a floor panel forming the floor of the interior space of vehicle and forming a storage space for storing items, and a cover mounted on the upper end of the body by a hinge and opening and closing the storage space. The cover may be used as an arm rest for convenience of a passenger. 
     In the console box having such a structure, only the passenger in the first row seat located on both sides of the console box may open and close the cover without inconvenience. Accordingly, for example, in order for the passenger in the second row seat (a back seat) located behind the console box to open the cover of the console box and to take out or store items, the passenger should adopt an uncomfortable posture or should move, such that the number of users of the console box may be limited. 
     To address the above issue, an upper tray and a lower tray may be independently disposed to be blocked from each other in the console box, the cover may be combined to the upper tray side and the lower tray may be configured in the form of a drawer, such that the lower tray may be open to slide to the rear side of the console box. 
     However, in the console box having this structure, it may be difficult for the passenger of the first row seat to use the lower tray, and it may still be difficult for the passenger of the second row seat to access the upper tray through the cover. Moreover, when the second row seat is closely adhered to the first row seat, the lower tray may be blocked by the seat or may be interfered with the seat when opened, such that it may be difficult to use the lower tray. Also, additional functions other than the storage of items may be necessary. 
     SUMMARY 
     An aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a console box for a vehicle which may be accessed in multiple directions and to which various functions may be added, thereby increasing user convenience.

       FIG.  1    is a perspective diagram illustrating a console box for a vehicle according to a first embodiment, partially cut away.  FIG.  2    is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a console box for a vehicle according to a first embodiment. 
     The console box for a vehicle in the first embodiment may include a main body  10 , a cover  30 , a detachable tray  40  and a sliding tray  50 . 
     The main body  10  may be formed in a substantially hexahedral box shape. The main body may be fixed to the upper surface of the floor panel  3  (see  FIGS.  13  and  14   ) forming the floor of the internal space of a vehicle between the separate seats of the vehicle. 
     Here, both seats adjacent to the side of the main body  10  by the shortest distance may be referred to as a first row seat  1  (see  FIGS.  13  and  14   ). Also, a seat (rear seat) or a seat row disposed on the rear side of the main body may be referred to as a second row seat  2  (see  FIGS.  13  and  14   ). 
     However, the shape and arrangement of the main body is not necessarily limited thereto. 
     The main body  10  may have a first accommodation space  11  and a second accommodation space  12  therein. For example, the first accommodation space and the second accommodation space may be disposed in a vertical direction within the main body. Also, the upper first accommodation space may have a volume smaller than that of the lower second accommodation space. 
     The first accommodation space  11  and the second accommodation space  12  may communicate with each other and may be integrated with each other as a single space. Also, the first accommodation space may include a first opening  13  for being communicated with the outside of the main body  10  and may be accessible through the first opening. The second accommodation space may include a second opening  14  for being communicated with the outside of the main body and may be accessible through the second opening. 
     For example, the first opening  13  may be formed on the upper surface of the main body  10 , and the second opening  14  may be formed on one side surface of the lower portion of the main body  10 , preferably on the lower rear surface of the main body  10 . 
     Accordingly, an item may be accommodated in or taken out from at least one of the first accommodation space  11  and the second accommodation space  12  in the main body  10  through at least one of the first opening  13  of the upper surface or the second opening  14  of the lower rear surface. 
     The first accommodation space  11  may be formed by upper sidewalls  15 . At least one of the upper sidewalls may be slightly inclined such that the distance from the other upper sidewall opposite thereto may decrease downwardly. Also, a stepped portion  16  may be formed at the upper end of the upper sidewall. Due to the inclined upper sidewall and the stepped portion of the upper end, the detachable tray  40  may be seated in place in the first accommodation space  11 . 
     The main body  10  may further include a front external wall  17  and a rear external wall  18  spaced apart from the upper sidewalls  15  forming the first accommodation space  11  by a predetermined distance. 
     The second accommodation space  12  may be formed by the lower sidewalls  19  and the bottom surface  20 . A rail member  21  extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle may be installed on the bottom surface. As the second opening  14  is formed in the lower sidewall directed to the rear side of the vehicle among the lower sidewalls, the sliding tray  50  may slide in the front-rear direction of the vehicle in the second accommodation space and may enter the second accommodation space or may be moved from the second accommodation space. 
     The front external wall  17  of the main body  10  may be spaced apart from the lower sidewall directed to the front side of the vehicle among the lower sidewalls  19  forming the second accommodation space  12  by a predetermined distance. 
     Here, the arrangement relationship of the rail member is not necessarily limited to the above-described example. For example, the rail member  21  may be disposed on the internal surface of the lower sidewall directed to the side of the vehicle among the lower sidewalls  19  of the second accommodation space  12 . 
     The cover  30  may include a frame  31  rotatably installed around the first opening  13  of the main body  10  via the first hinge  32  and having a hollow portion  33 , and a hood  35  mounted on the frame and opening and closing the hollow portion. 
     This cover  30  may have a shape and size for closing the first opening  13  of the main body  10 . Also, the cover may be used as an arm rest for convenience of the passenger. 
     One side of the frame  31  may be connected to one side of the upper surface of the main body by the first hinge  32 .  FIGS.  1  and  2    illustrate an example in which the first hinge is installed on the front side of the vehicle around the first opening  13  of the main body  10 , but the position of the first hinge is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the first hinge may be installed on the rear side of the vehicle around the first opening of the main body, or may even be installed on either side of the vehicle in the left and right direction. 
     Optionally, a latch  34  may be formed on the opposite side of the first hinge  32  on the bottom surface of the frame  31 , and a locking groove  22  (see  FIG.  3 B ) may be formed on the opposite side of the first hinge on the upper surface of the main body  10 . 
     In the console box for a vehicle in the first embodiment, the hood  35  may be rotatably installed on the frame  31  via the second hinge  36 . One side of the hood may be connected to one side of the upper surface of the frame by a second hinge. 
     The second hinge  36  may be installed on the opposite side of the first hinge  32  in the frame  31 , examples of which are illustrated in  FIGS.  1  and  2   . However, the position of the second hinge is not necessarily limited to the illustrated example. 
       FIGS.  3 A and  3 B  are diagrams for explaining an operation of a cover of a console box for a vehicle according to a first embodiment. 
     For example, in order for a passenger of the first row seat  1  to access the first accommodation space  11  of the main body  10 , a hood  35  of the cover  30  may be open as illustrated in  FIG.  3 A . Specifically, when the passenger lifts the other side of the hood by hand, the hood may rotate about the second hinge  36 . The hollow portion  33  of the frame  31  and the first opening  13  of the main body may be opened depending on rotation of the hood. 
     Accordingly, the passenger of the first row seat  1  may conveniently access the first accommodation space  11  of the main body through the hollow portion  33  of the frame  31  and the first opening  13  of the main body  10 , and the item may be accommodated in or taken out from the detachable tray  40  accommodated in the first accommodation space. 
     For example, in order for the passenger of the second row seat  2  to access the first accommodation space  11  of the main body  10 , the frame  31  of the cover  30  in the embodiment as illustrated in  FIG.  3 B  may be open. Specifically, when the passenger lifts the other side of the frame, that is, the second hinge  36  side of the hood  35  by hand, the frame may rotate about the first hinge  32  together with the hood. 
     Accordingly, the passenger of the second row seat  2  may conveniently access the first accommodation space  11  of the main body  10  through the first opening  13  of the main body  10  without taking an uncomfortable posture, and may store an item in or take out an item from the detachable tray  40  accommodated in the first accommodation space. 
     As described above, using the cover of the console box for a vehicle in the first embodiment, the passenger may conveniently access the first accommodation space of the main body in various directions regardless of the seat row, which may be advantageous. 
     Referring back to  FIGS.  1  and  2   , the detachable tray  40  may be mounted on or detachably coupled to the first accommodation space  11  of the main body  10  through the first opening  13 . The detachable tray may have a storage space therein and may store various items. To this end, the detachable tray may be formed in a box form with an open upper surface. 
     At least one of the side surfaces  41  of the detachable tray  40  may correspond to at least one of the upper sidewalls  15  of the first accommodation space  11 , that is, may be formed to be slightly inclined such that the distance from the other side surface opposite thereof may decrease downwardly. 
     Also, a hook portion  42  extending outwardly may be formed in the upper end of the side surface of the detachable tray  40 . The hook portion may be formed to shape-fit the stepped portion  16  at the upper end of the upper sidewall  15  of the first accommodation space  11 . 
     Accordingly, when the detachable tray  40  is mounted on the first accommodation space  11  of the main body  10 , the detachable tray may be seated in place in the first accommodation space. Also, the detachable tray may be mounted reliably by the hook portion  42  in a simplified manner, and the shaking of the detachable tray in the first accommodation space may be prevented as the hook portion  42  and the stepped portion  16  are shape-fitted to each other. 
     In the console box for a vehicle in the first embodiment, since the detachable tray  40  is not integrated with the main body  10 , but may be detachable therefrom, the detachable tray  40  may be easily detachable depending on the needs of the passenger and may be selectively used. 
     The detachable tray  40  may work as an internal cover for partially closing the open upper surface of the sliding tray when the sliding tray  50  is accommodated in the second accommodation space  12  in the main body  10 . 
     The sliding tray  50  may be coupled to the second accommodation space  12  of the main body  10  to be able to enter or move out of the second accommodation space  12  through the second opening  14 . The sliding tray may have a storage space therein and may store various items. To this end, the sliding tray may be formed in a box shape with an open upper surface. 
     Among the side surfaces  51  of the sliding tray  50 , the rear side surface directed to the rear side in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, for example, may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the second opening  14  formed in the lower rear surface of the main body  10 , such that, when the sliding tray completely enters the second accommodation space, the rear side surface may align with the rear surface of the main body and may be shape-fitted with the second opening simultaneously, thereby closing the second opening. 
     Also, the handle  52  may be formed or mounted on the rear side surface of the sliding tray  50 . The passenger may hold the handle and transmit force and may allow the sliding tray to slide in the second accommodation space  12  of the main body  10 , and may allow the sliding tray to enter the second accommodation space or to be moved out of the second accommodation space. 
     A slider  53  or a rolling member movable along the rail member  21  installed on the internal surface of the second accommodation space  12  may be installed in the sliding tray  50 . Accordingly, the sliding tray may slide smoothly in the front-rear direction of the vehicle along the rail member. 
     As such, the passenger may access the console box for a vehicle in the first embodiment in various directions and may conveniently use all the trays disposed therein. 
       FIG.  4    is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a console box for a vehicle according to a second embodiment. 
     Referring to  FIG.  4   , the console box for a vehicle in the second embodiment may include a main body  10 , a cover  30 , a detachable tray  40  and a sliding tray  50 . 
     In the second embodiment illustrated in  FIG.  4   , only the configuration of the cover  30  may be different, and the other components may be the same as those of the first embodiment illustrated in  FIGS.  1  to  3   . Accordingly, in describing the console box for a vehicle in the second embodiment, the same reference numerals may be given to the same components as those of the console box for a vehicle in the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions of the configuration and functions thereof will not be provided. 
     The cover  30  may include a frame  31  rotatably installed around the first opening  13  of the main body  10  via a first hinge  32  and having a hollow portion  33 , and a hood  35  mounted on the frame and opening and closing the hollow portion. 
     This cover  30  may have a shape and size for closing the first opening  13  of the main body  10 . Also, the cover may be used as an arm rest for convenience of the passenger. 
     One side of the frame  31  may be connected to one side of the upper surface of the main body  10  by a first hinge  32 .  FIGS.  1  and  2    illustrate an example in which the first hinge is installed on the front side of the vehicle around the first opening  13  of the main body, but the position of the first hinge is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the first hinge may be installed on the rear side of the vehicle around the first opening of the main body, or may even be installed on either side of the vehicle in the left and right direction. 
     Also, guide groove  37  may be formed in a predetermined length on the internal surface of the first frame member  31   a  of the frame  31  on both sides, extending in the front-rear direction, that is, the surface opposing the hollow portion  33 , in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. 
     For example, the guide groove  37  may pass through the second frame member  31   b  of the frame  31  on the rear side, extending in the left and right direction of the vehicle, and may penetrate the end surface on the rear side of the first frame member  31   a  on both sides. In other words, one end (e.g., the rear end) of both ends in the length direction of the guide groove may be open and the other end (e.g., the front end) may be closed. 
     In this case, the closed end of the guide groove  37  may be preferably disposed on the side adjacent to the first hinge  32  in the frame  31 . An example thereof is illustrated in  FIG.  4   . 
     However, the arrangement of the guide grooves  37  is not necessarily limited to the illustrated example, and for example, the guide grooves may be formed on the upper surfaces of the first frame members  31   a  on both sides. Also, the positions of the closed end and the open end may be reversed, or both ends may be formed as open ends without a closed end. 
     In the console box for a vehicle in the second embodiment, the hood  35  may include a protrusion  38  having an almost fin-shape and inserted into the guide groove  37  of the frame  31 , and the protrusion may be movable within the guide groove, such that the hood may slide around the hollow portion  33  of the frame. 
     The protrusion  38  of the hood  35  may be both edges of the hood, may be formed to protrude outwardly along both edges of the hood, or may be formed to be adjacent to both edges and to protrude to a region below the hood. This protrusion may be inserted into the guide groove  37  in the first frame member  31   a  and may move in the guide groove in the front-rear direction of the vehicle along the guide groove. 
     Also, a stopper  39  may be formed adjacent to one end in the length direction of the protrusion between the both protrusions  38  on the upper or lower surface of the hood  35 . The stopper may be formed to protrude upwardly from the upper surface of the hood or to protrude downwardly from the bottom surface of the hood. When the stopper of the hood is in contact with the second frame member  31   b  of the frame  31 , movement of the hood may be prevented and the hood may be prevented from being separated from the frame. 
     In order for the passenger to access the first accommodation space  11  of the main body  10 , the hood  35  of the cover  30  in the embodiment may be opened. Specifically, as the passenger pushes the hood in one of the front and rear directions of the vehicle by hand, the hood may slide between the first frame members  31   a  on both sides of the frame  31 . As the hood moves, the hollow portion  33  of the frame and the first opening  13  of the main body may be opened. 
     Accordingly, the passenger may conveniently access the first accommodation space  11  of the main body through the hollow portion  33  of the frame and the first opening  13  of the main body  10  without opening the frame  31 , and may store an item in or may take out an item from the detachable tray  40  accommodated in the first accommodation space. 
     For example, the passenger of the second row seat  2  may open the frame  31  of the cover  30  to access the first accommodation space  11  of the main body  10 . 
     Accordingly, the passenger of the second row seat  2  may conveniently access the first accommodation space  11  of the main body  10  through the first opening  13  of the main body  10  without taking an uncomfortable posture, and may store an item in or may take out an item from the detachable tray  40  accommodated in the first accommodation space. 
     As described above, using the cover of the console box for a vehicle in the second embodiment, the passenger may conveniently access the first accommodation space of the main body in various directions regardless of the seat row, which may be advantageous. 
       FIG.  5    is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a console box for a vehicle according to a third embodiment. 
     Referring to  FIG.  5   , the console box for a vehicle in the third embodiment may include a main body  10 , a cover  30 , a detachable tray  40  and a sliding tray  50 . 
     Only the configuration of the second accommodation space  12  and the sliding tray  50  of the main body  10  in the third embodiment illustrated in  FIG.  5    may be different, and the other components may be the same as those of the first embodiment or the second embodiment illustrated in  FIGS.  1  to  4   . Accordingly, in describing the console box for a vehicle in the third embodiment, the same reference numerals may be given to the same components as those of the console box for a vehicle according to the first and second embodiments described above, and detailed descriptions of the configuration and function thereof will not be provided. 
     The main body  10  may be formed in a stepped box shape, and a first accommodation space  11  and a second accommodation space  12  may be formed therein. For example, the first accommodation space and the second accommodation space may be disposed in the vertical direction within the main body. Also, the upper first accommodation space may have a volume smaller than that of the lower second accommodation space. 
     The first accommodation space  11  and the second accommodation space  12  may communicate with each other and may be integrated with each other as a single space. For example, an item may be accommodated in or taken out from at least one of the first and second accommodation spaces in the main body  10  through at least one of the first opening  13  on the upper surface and the second opening  14  on the lower rear surface. 
     The second accommodation space  12  may be formed by the lower sidewalls  19  and the bottom surface  20 . A rail member  21  extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle may be installed on the bottom surface. As the second opening  14  is formed in the lower sidewall directed to the rear side of the vehicle among the lower sidewalls, the sliding tray  50  may slide in the front-rear direction of the vehicle in the second accommodation space and may enter the second accommodation space or may be moved out of the second accommodation space. 
     Here, the arrangement of the rail member  21  is not necessarily limited to the above-described example. For example, the rail member may be disposed on the internal surface of the lower sidewall of the second accommodation space  12  directed to the side of the vehicle among the lower sidewalls  19 . 
     The lower sidewall among the lower sidewalls  19  of the second accommodation space  12 , directed to the front side of the vehicle, may be positioned forwardly away from the upper sidewall among the upper sidewalls  15  of the first accommodation space  11 , directed to the front side of the vehicle. Accordingly, the lengths of the lower sidewalls and the bottom surface directed to the side of the vehicle, extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, may further increase than the length of the lower sidewalls and the bottom surface forming the second accommodation space, extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, in the first or second embodiment. 
     Due to this configuration, the main body  10  may be formed in a shape in which the lower portion thereof may protrude further toward the front side of the vehicle than the upper portion. 
     The sliding tray  50  may be coupled to the second accommodation space  12  of the main body  10  to enter and to be moved out of the second accommodation space  12  through the second opening  14 . The sliding tray may be formed in an open box shape. 
     A slider  53  or a rolling member movable along the rail member  21  installed on the internal surface of the second accommodation space  12  may be installed on the sliding tray  50 . Accordingly, the sliding tray may slide smoothly in the front-rear direction of the vehicle along the rail member. 
     The sliding tray  50  in the console box for a vehicle in the third embodiment may have a length extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, which may be further increased than that of the sliding tray in the first or second embodiment by an increased length extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, to correspond to the size of the second accommodation space  12  in the main body  10 . 
     For example, the length extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle of the sliding tray  50  may be at least twice as long as the length extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, which may be a length of the lower cross-section of the first accommodation space  11 . 
     In this case, a stopper, not illustrated, may be installed on the rail member  21  or the sliding tray such that, when the sliding tray  50  moves out of the second accommodation space  12  for opening, and the side surface directed to the front side of the vehicle among the side surfaces  51  of the sliding tray reaches the upper sidewall  15  directed to the front side of the vehicle of the first accommodation space  11 , the sliding movement of the sliding tray is stopped. 
     Accordingly, in the console box for a vehicle in the third embodiment, when the sliding tray  50  is opened simultaneously as the cover  30  opened in a state in which the detachable tray  40  is separated, due to the extended size of the second accommodation space  12  and the sliding tray, it may be possible to prevent the item or the hand of the passenger from entering the area of the second accommodation space in which no sliding tray is disposed. In other words, the item entering the second accommodation space  12  through the first opening  13  and the first accommodation space  11  may always be stored in the sliding tray. 
     As such, the console box for a vehicle in the third embodiment may prevent in advance the loss or damage of items, injury to the passenger, or the like, when the sliding tray is opened simultaneously as the cover opens. 
       FIG.  6    is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a console box for a vehicle according to a fourth embodiment.  FIG.  7    is a cross-sectional diagram taken along line A-A′ in  FIG.  6   .  FIG.  8    is a diagram illustrating an operation state of a console box for a vehicle according to a fourth embodiment. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  6  to  8   , the console box for a vehicle in the fourth embodiment may include a main body  10 , a cover  30 , a detachable tray  40 , a sliding tray  50  and a blocking member  55 . 
     Only the configuration of the fourth embodiment illustrated in  FIGS.  6  to  8    in which blocking member  55  is added may be different, and the other components may be the same as those of the first embodiment or the second embodiment illustrated in  FIGS.  1  to  4   . Accordingly, in describing the console box for a vehicle in the fourth embodiment, the same reference numerals may be given to the same components as those of the console box for a vehicle according to the first and second embodiments described above, and detailed descriptions of the configuration and function thereof will not be provided. 
     The console box for a vehicle in the fourth embodiment may further include a blocking member  55  connected to the sliding tray  50 , interlocked with the movement of the sliding tray, and blocking the space between the first accommodation space  11  and the second accommodation space  12  in the main body  10 . 
     The blocking member  55  may be a flexible member having a plate shape, and may be formed of a material such as plastic or metal having high ductility. The blocking member may have an area having the same size as that of the lower cross-section of at least the first accommodation space  11 . 
     One end of the blocking member  55  may be connected to one of the side surfaces  51  of the sliding tray  50 , that is, for example, a side surface directed to the front side in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The blocking member may penetrate the lower sidewall directed to the front side of the vehicle among the lower sidewalls  19  of the second accommodation space  12  or may be disposed over the upper end and may move to the space between the lower sidewall and the front external wall  17  of the main body  10 . 
     To support the extension of the blocking member  55  and to induce movement, an insertion groove  25  may be formed in the both lower sidewalls directed to the side of the vehicle among the lower sidewalls  19  of the second accommodation space  12 , that is, the sidewall of the main body  10 .  FIGS.  6  and  8    illustrate an example in which, after the insertion groove is curved, the insertion groove may extend linearly toward the front side. However, the shape of the insertion groove is not necessarily limited thereto. 
     In the console box for a vehicle in the fourth embodiment, as the sliding tray  50  is moved out of the second accommodation space  12  of the main body  10 , the blocking member  55  connected to the sliding tray may be drawn out from the lower sidewall  19  directed to the front side of the vehicle of the second accommodation space such that the blocking member  55  may block the space between the first accommodation space  11  and the second accommodation space  12  in the main body. 
     In this case, a stopper, not illustrated, may be installed on the rail member  21  or the sliding tray such that, when the sliding tray  50  is moved out of the second accommodation space  12  for opening, and the side surface directed to the front side of the vehicle among the side surfaces  51  of the sliding tray reaches the upper sidewall  15  of the first accommodation space  11 , directed to the rear side of the vehicle, the sliding movement of the sliding tray may be stopped. 
     Accordingly, in the console box for a vehicle in the fourth embodiment, when the sliding tray  50  is opened simultaneously as the cover  30  opens in a state in which the detachable tray  40  is separated, by the blocking member  55 , it may be possible to prevent an item or the hand of the passenger from entering the area of the second accommodation space  12  in which no sliding tray is disposed. When the sliding tray is not opened in a state in which the cover is opened and the detachable tray is separated, or when the sliding tray is opened regardless of the opening and closing of the cover, the item may be stored in the second accommodation space. 
     As such, when the sliding tray is opened simultaneously as the cover opens, the console box for a vehicle in the fourth embodiment may prevent loss or damage of items, injury to the passenger, or the like, in advance.
