Abstract

A pop-up device for a vehicle is provided, which includes a case, a pop-up structure inserted into an upper portion of the case, and a driving structure provided inside the case to make the pop-up structure ascend out of the case or descend into the case. More specifically, the driving structure includes a motor, a screw shaft provided in upward and downward directions in the case and has a spiral groove formed along an outer periphery thereof to be rotated through driving of the motor, and a plate on which the pop-up structure is mounted. The plate is movably coupled to the spiral groove formed on the screw shaft in the upward and downward directions to make the pop-up structure ascend or descend when the screw shaft is rotated.

Claims

1. A pop-up device for a vehicle comprising:

a case;

a pop-up structure inserted into an upper portion of the case; and

a driving structure provided inside the case and configured to provide a driving force to the pop-up structure to ascend and descend the pop-up structure in and out of the case,

wherein the driving structure includes a motor, a screw shaft provided in upward and downward directions in the case and having a spiral groove formed along an outer periphery thereof to be rotated by the motor, and a moving plate on which the pop-up structure is mounted, the moving plate movably coupled to the spiral groove formed on the screw shaft in the upward and downward directions to make the pop-up structure ascend or descend when the screw shaft is rotated.

2. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein a gear mounted on the motor and a gear mounted on the screw shaft are connected together by a belt to transfer power.

3. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 1, further comprising a guide bar for guiding the moving plate wherein the moving plate performs a rectilinear movement in upward and downward directions.

4. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the case is inserted and mounted in an inner panel of a vehicle.

5. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein a base plate for mounting the motor and the screw shaft is provided inside the case.

6. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 1, further comprising a cover structure is formed and configured to hook and fix the cover structure onto an upper portion of the case on the upper end portion of the pop-up structure.

7. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 6, wherein on one side of the cover structure, a pop-up switch for making the pop-up structure ascend or descend through the driving structure is mounted.

8. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 6, wherein the pop-up switch is a sensor which operates when the sensor is touched for a predetermined period of time.

9. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the driving structure further comprises a stop switch that is pressed when the moving plate completely descended to stop the rotation of the motor.

10. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the pop-up structure is provided with a coupling holder for coupling the tweeter speaker thereto.

11. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the pop-up structure is provide with a coupling holder for coupling a portable phone or a portable device thereto.

12. The pop-up device for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the moving plate is provided with a coupling protrusion that is formed thereon and is inserted into the spiral groove of the screw shaft to ascend or descend along the spiral groove.

13. A pop-up device for a vehicle comprising:

a case;

a first structure inserted into an upper portion of the case; and

a second structure provided inside the case and configured to provide a driving force to the first structure to ascend and descend the first structure in and out of the case,

wherein the second structure includes a motor, a screw shaft mounted vertically in the case, the screw shaft having a spiral groove formed along an outer periphery thereof to be rotated by the motor, and a plate on which the first structure is mounted, the plate movably coupled to the spiral groove formed on the screw shaft in the upward and downward directions to ascend and descend the first structure.
