Abstract

An internal storage structure of a vehicle may include a housing including an opening and configured of having a storage space disposed inside a crash pad, a cover portion configured to include a display module and to cover the opening, a first guide rail configured to be disposed on the side surface of the housing to be tilted by a predetermined angle, and a second guide rail configured to be disposed on the lower end portion of the cover portion to interlock with a gear portion disposed on the lower surface of the housing, and the cover portion is configured to be tilted forwardly along the second guide rail, and to move downwardly along the first guide rail and the second guide rail.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An internal storage structure of a vehicle, the internal storage structure comprising:
a housing including an opening and configured of having a storage space disposed inside a crash pad;
a cover portion configured to cover the opening;
a transfer plate be disposed on a rear surface of the housing to be connected to the cover portion;
a first guide rail mounted on the housing and coupled to the cover portion to guide the cover portion so that the cover portion is selectively opened;
a second guide rail mounted on the housing and coupled to the transfer plate to guide a movement of the transfer plate interlocked with a conveying block; and
a rotation driving portion engaged to the conveying block and configured to move the conveying block forwardly and backwardly,
wherein the cover portion is configured to be opened by moving in horizontal and vertical directions of the housing along the first guide rail and the second guide rail interlocking with the conveying block.

2. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 1 , further including:
a slide panel disposed on the rear surface of the housing, and configured to move forwardly and backwardly by interlocking with the conveying block.

3. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 2 , further including:
at least a holder portion disposed at an end portion of the slide panel where the slide panel faces the cover portion and configured to be moved out to an upper portion of the slide panel.

4. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 3 ,
wherein the at least a holder portion is rotatably coupled to an end portion of the slide panel, and
wherein the slide panel include at least a receiving groove to selectively receive a corresponding holder portion of the at least a holder portion therein.

5. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 3 ,
Wherein the at least a holder portion is configured to slidably move in a width direction of the slide panel.

6. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 5 ,
wherein the slide panel includes a guide bar and the at least a holder portion is slidably coupled to the guide bar to move in the width direction of the slide panel.

7. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the at least a holder portion is elastically biased in a direction by an elastic member.

8. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 2 , further including:
a slide link interlocking the slide panel and the conveying block.

9. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 8 ,
Wherein a first end portion and a second end portion of the slide link are connected to the housing and the conveying block, respectively, and
wherein a mid portion of the slide link is coupled to the slide panel.

10. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 9 ,
Wherein the first end portion of the slide link is hinged to the housing, and the second end portion thereof connected to the conveying block includes a first groove portion.

11. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 10 ,
wherein the mid portion thereof includes a second groove portion.

12. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 1 , further including:
a guide pipe mounted inside the housing and engaged to the conveying block to guide a movement of the conveying block.

13. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 1 , further including:
a connection portion connected to the cover portion and slidably coupled to the first guide rail.

14. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 1 , further including:
a guide hole in the housing, wherein a connection portion connecting the first guide rail and the cover portion moves along the housing though the guide hole.

15. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 13 , further including:
a blocking portion configured to be mounted on a rear surface of the guide hole in a state where the cover portion has been opened.

16. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 1 ,
wherein the second guide rail is mounted on the housing in the horizontal direction, and
wherein the first guide rail is formed to be inclined in a predetermined acute angle from the horizontal direction.

17. The internal storage structure of the vehicle of claim 1 ,
wherein the cover portion configured of including a display module or a switch portion.
