However, in the conventional technology, the mounting device may be visible from the rear side, and in particular, the appearance deteriorates when metal members such as brackets are visible.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting device for an in-vehicle device that can improve the appearance of the device.

In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, a mounting device for an in-vehicle device according to an embodiment includes a holding member and a fixing member. The holding member is provided in the space under the seat of the vehicle, and holds the vehicle-mounted device by sandwiching it from the outer surface. The fixing member fixes the holding member to the floor of the vehicle. Further, the fixing member fixes the holding member in a state in which the mounting height of the in-vehicle device is lower on the rear side of the vehicle than on the front side of the vehicle.

According to the present invention, appearance can be improved.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of mounting a mounting device. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the mounting device. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the wall surface and the inclination angle. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a specific example of the fixing member.

Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, a mounting device for an in-vehicle device according to an embodiment will be described in detail. In addition, this invention is not limited by this embodiment.

First, with reference to FIG. 1, a description will be given of a mounting example of a mounting device for an in-vehicle device according to an embodiment. In addition, below, the attachment apparatus of vehicle equipment may be only described as the attachment apparatus 1. As shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a mounting example of the mounting device 1. As shown in FIG. The front or front side described below indicates the front or front side of the vehicle, and the rear or rear side indicates the rear or rear side of the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 1, for example, the mounting device 1 is for mounting an in-vehicle device M in a vertically recessed space SP under a seat S of a vehicle. The in-vehicle equipment M is, for example, an amplifier for in-vehicle speakers, but may be other in-vehicle equipment.

By the way, conventionally, in-vehicle devices are generally mounted horizontally using mounting fixtures such as metal brackets. However, in such a case, for example, the metal portion may be visible to a user sitting behind the seat S, and the appearance deteriorates.

Also, for example, when a part of the user's body (for example, a foot) enters the space SP, it is caught between the metal bracket and the vehicle body (the bottom surface of the space SP; corresponding to the floor member B described later). , the user may be injured.

For this reason, the mounting apparatus 1 according to the embodiment mounts the in-vehicle device M in an inclined state, thereby improving the appearance and suppressing the occurrence of injury by the user.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the mounting device 1 fixes the vehicle-mounted device M so that the rear side of the vehicle is lower than the front side of the vehicle. Accordingly, in the mounting device 1, it is possible to make it difficult for the user on the rear side to see the fixing member 30b (see FIG. 2) corresponding to the metal bracket.

That is, as will be described later, only the cover 10 (see FIG. 2) can be visually recognized by the user on the rear side. For example, it is possible to improve the appearance by giving the cover 10 a shape with excellent design or a color such as black that is inconspicuous.

In addition, the mounting device 1 can narrow the gap between the on-vehicle device M (actually the cover 10) and the vehicle body from the front to the rear by attaching the on-vehicle device M in an inclined state.

That is, when viewed from the rear side, the space between the in-vehicle device M and the vehicle body is blocked by the cover 10 . As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the user's feet to enter such a space, so that it is possible to prevent injury to the user.

Next, a specific example of the mounting device 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2 . FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the mounting device 1. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting device 1 includes a cover 10, a holding member 20, and a fixing member 30 (a fixing member 30f and a fixing member 30b).

The cover 10 is a member that covers the vehicle-mounted device M from the top surface, and is made of, for example, plastic or resin. The cover 10 plays a role of protecting the user from the in-vehicle device M that generates heat.

In addition, for example, the cover 10 is painted in an inconspicuous color such as black. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the corner portion R located on the outer peripheral portion of the cover 10 is formed in an R-chamfered shape. That is, the cover 10 has a shape with rounded corners R that may come into contact with the user.

As a result, even if the user contacts the corner R, it is possible to prevent the user from being injured. That is, safety can be improved.

The holding member 20 holds the in-vehicle device M by sandwiching it from the outer surface side. In the example shown in FIG. 2 , the holding member 20 includes a bottom portion 21 along the bottom surface of the in-vehicle device M, and side portions 22 bent from the bottom portion 21 along side walls of the in-vehicle device M. In the example shown in FIG. That is, it shows the case where the holding member 20 is U-shaped.

For example, the in-vehicle device M is fixed to the holding member 20 by being screwed via the side portion 22 . In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the side surface portion 22 sandwiches the vehicle-mounted device M from the front-rear direction of the vehicle, but the vehicle-mounted device M may be sandwiched from the vehicle width direction side.

The fixing member 30 is a member for fixing the holding member 20 to the floor member B of the vehicle, and as described above, fixes the holding member 20 in a state in which the mounting height of the in-vehicle device M is lower on the rear side than on the front side. .

The example shown in FIG. 2 shows a case where the fixing member 30 includes a fixing member 30f and a fixing member 30b. The fixing member 30f is a member for fixing the holding member 20 from the front side, and the fixing member 30b is a member for fixing the holding member 20 from the rear side.

The fixing member 30f and the fixing member 30b respectively include bottom portions 31f, 31b and side wall portions 32f, 32b. The bottom portions 31f and 31b are fixed to the floor member B via an adhesive member T such as double-sided tape or adhesive provided on the bottom surface.

Holding members 20 are fixed to the side wall portion 32f and the side wall portion 32b with screws SC1 and SC2 at different heights. The holding member 20, that is, the in-vehicle device M is fixed to the fixing member 30 so that the mounting height to the side wall portion 32b is lower than the mounting height to the side wall portion 32f.

As a result, as described above, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of injury while improving the appearance. Details of the fixing member 30 will be described later with reference to FIG. 4 .

By the way, in the mounting device 1, the holding member 20 is fixed at an angle of inclination corresponding to the angle of inclination of the wall surface on the rear side forming the space SP. That is, it is possible to optimize the mounting height of the in-vehicle device M by determining the mounting height of the in-vehicle device M with respect to each of the fixing members 30f and 30b according to the inclination angle of the wall surface.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the wall surface and the inclination angle. In FIG. 3, the relationship between the cover 10 and the wall surface W will be described as an example. It is synonymous even if it is replaced with

As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the cover 10 has an angle formed by a front mounting height Hf and a rear mounting height Hb between the main surface of the cover 10 and the rear wall surface W forming the space SP. determined based on θ.

Specifically, for example, the mounting height Hf and the mounting height Hb are determined so that the angle θ is approximately a right angle and that the cover 10 and the lower surface of the seat S do not come into contact with each other.

For example, by making the angle θ substantially right, it is possible to shorten the space required for installing the in-vehicle device M in the front-rear direction. That is, the mounting device 1 fixes the vehicle-mounted device M in a state of being inclined in the front-rear direction, thereby making it possible to alleviate restrictions on the installation space compared to the case where the vehicle-mounted device M is horizontally mounted.

That is, by fixing the in-vehicle device M in an inclined state, it is possible to improve the appearance, avoid injury, and reduce the installation space as described above. Note that the angle θ is not limited to a substantially right angle, and can be arbitrarily changed.

Further, for example, when the installation space is restricted in the left-right direction of the vehicle, the in-vehicle device M may be fixed in a state inclined in the left-right direction in addition to the front-rear direction.

Further, by fixing the seat S and the cover 10 so as not to contact each other, it is possible to suppress the displacement of the cover 10 due to the movement of the seat S. That is, if the seat S and the cover 10 are fixed in contact with each other, a pressing force is transmitted from the seat S to the cover 10 as the seat S moves. For this reason, for example, metal fatigue of the fixing member 30 is accelerated, which causes the breakage of the fixing member 30 to be hastened.

On the other hand, since the mounting device 1 fixes the seat S and the cover 10 apart from each other, the above pressing force is not transmitted to the cover 10 . Therefore, metal fatigue of the fixing member 30 can be suppressed, so that the product life can be extended.

Moreover, it is preferable that the cover 10 is fixed to the wall surface W in a spaced apart state. If the cover 10 and the wall surface are fixed in contact with each other, the vibration of the vehicle is transmitted to the cover 10 through the wall surface W. In particular, when the in-vehicle device M itself is a speaker that vibrates, the vibration of the vehicle may be transmitted to the speaker, which may hinder the vibration of the speaker itself.

Although the wall surface W is taken as an example here, the same applies to other peripheral members. That is, the attachment device 1 is fixed apart from the peripheral members other than the floor member B, thereby making it possible to avoid the above-described problems.

Next, a specific example of the fixing member 30 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a specific example of the fixing member 30. As shown in FIG. 4 is different in that the fixing member 30 already described in FIG. 2 is given an inclination angle θ1 corresponding to the angle θ described above.

As shown in FIG. 4, the fixing member 30f and the fixing member 30b are provided such that side wall portions 32f and 32b are inclined rearward by an inclination angle θ1 with respect to the bottom surface portions 31f and 31b, respectively.

Further, the bottom surface portion 31f is provided toward the vehicle-mounted device M side, that is, toward the inside, whereas the bottom surface portion 31b is provided toward the outside. That is, in the mounting device 1, the same component can be used for the fixing member 30f and the fixing member 30b.

Further, it is possible to fix the holding member 20 according to the inclination of the side walls 32f and 32b. That is, the holding member 20 is fixed on the front side using the screw SC1 via the side wall portion 32f, and is fixed on the rear side using the screw SC2 via the side wall portion 32b.

Also, the inclination angle θ1 is a value determined depending on the above-described angle θ, and for example, a value that satisfies the condition that the angle θ is substantially a right angle. That is, the inclination angle θ1 is determined according to the inclination angle of the wall surface W shown in FIG.

This makes it possible to shorten the installation space in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, as described above. Further, for example, the screw holes through which the screws SC1 and SC2 are passed through the side wall portion 32f and the side wall portion 32b may be long holes having a long diameter in the vertical direction. In this case, the installation operator can easily adjust the installation heights Hf and Hb (see FIG. 3) according to the actual installation space.

Here, a case where the fixing member 30f and the fixing member 30b are inclined rearward has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the fixing member 30f and the fixing member 30b are arranged on the bottom surface portions 31f and 31b and the side wall portion 32f. , 32b may be substantially perpendicular to each other. Also, the fixing member 30f and the fixing member 30b may be different members.

As described above, the mounting device 1 for the vehicle-mounted device M according to the embodiment includes the holding member 20 and the fixing member 30 . The holding member 20 is provided in the space SP under the seat S of the vehicle, and holds the in-vehicle device M by sandwiching it from the outer surface side. The fixing member 30 fixes the holding member 20 to the floor member B of the vehicle. Further, the fixing member 30 fixes the holding member 20 in a state in which the mounting height of the in-vehicle device M is lower on the rear side than on the front side of the vehicle. Therefore, according to the mounting device 1 according to the embodiment, it is possible to improve the appearance.

By the way, in the above-described embodiment, a case where the in-vehicle device M is an amplifier or a speaker has been described, but the in-vehicle device M is not limited to this, and may be an electronic device including various ECUs (Electronic Control Units), Devices other than electronic devices may be used.

In the above-described embodiment, the holding member 20 is provided.

Further effects and modifications can be easily derived by those skilled in the art. Therefore, the broader aspects of the invention are not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments so shown and described. Accordingly, various changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
