Disclosure of Invention
Technical problem to be solved by the invention
In the in-vehicle camera described in patent document 1, the in-vehicle camera body (in-vehicle component) is held on the bracket by the urging force of the leaf spring, and therefore it is necessary to increase the urging force of the leaf spring in order to firmly hold the in-vehicle component. However, in the structure of patent document 1, in the case of attaching the vehicle-mounted component to the bracket, the leaf spring must be elastically deformed by pressing the leaf spring from a direction opposite to the urging force of the leaf spring, and therefore if the urging force of the leaf spring is excessively strong, a strong force is required at the time of elastically deforming the leaf spring, which may complicate the engaging operation. Therefore, it is difficult to simultaneously achieve reinforcement of the holding force of the vehicle-mounted component and improvement of the mounting workability.
The present disclosure provides an installation structure of an in-vehicle component, which can achieve both reinforcement of a holding force of the in-vehicle component and improvement of installation workability.
Means for solving the technical problems
In a first aspect of the present disclosure, a mounting structure of an in-vehicle component includes a bracket and an in-vehicle component. The bracket has a pair of support surfaces and an inclination restricting engagement portion, and is fixed to the vehicle body side. The pair of support surfaces are disposed apart from each other in a first direction and extend along a second direction intersecting the first direction. The inclination restricting engagement portion is provided between and separated from the pair of support surfaces as viewed from the second direction. The vehicle-mounted member has a pair of shaft-like protruding portions and an inclination restricting locking portion, and is held by the bracket. The pair of shaft-like protruding portions correspond to the pair of support surfaces and protrude to both sides in the first direction. The tilt restriction locking portion is engageable with the tilt restriction engaging portion.
A pair of recesses are provided on the pair of support surfaces, which are recessed so as to be able to hold the pair of projections. A pair of leaf spring members opposed to each of the pair of recesses is fixed to the bracket. The plate spring member is elastically deformed in a third direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction by the protruding portion moving from one side to the other side of the second direction on the support surface to allow the protruding portion to move toward the recess, and urges the protruding portion accommodated in the recess from the third direction toward the recess to elastically hold the protruding portion. By inclining the vehicle-mounted member around the pair of protruding portions interposed between the support surface and the plate spring member, the inclination restricting locking portion can be engaged with the inclination restricting engaging portion. The engagement restriction vehicle-mounted member between the inclination restriction locking portion and the inclination restriction engaging portion is inclined about the pair of protruding portions. The plate spring member elastically holds the protruding portion between the plate spring member and the recessed portion, and the tilt limit locking portion is engaged with the tilt limit engaging portion, so that the vehicle-mounted member is held by the bracket.
In the above configuration, the protruding portion accommodated in the recess is pushed from the third direction toward the recess by the plate spring member, so that the plate spring member elastically holds the protruding portion between the plate spring member and the recess, and the vehicle-mounted member is restricted from tilting about the pair of protruding portions by the tilt restricting locking portion engaging with the tilt restricting engaging portion. Therefore, the change in the mounting angle of the vehicle-mounted component with respect to the bracket can be reliably prevented, and the vehicle-mounted component can be reliably held with respect to the bracket.
Further, when the vehicle-mounted member is mounted on the bracket, the pair of protruding portions of the vehicle-mounted member move from one side to the other side in the second direction on the support surface while elastically deforming the plate spring member in the third direction. That is, even when the urging force of the plate spring member is increased in order to reliably hold the vehicle-mounted member, the amount of increase in the resistance received by the projection from the plate spring member when the projection is moved is smaller than the amount of increase in the urging force of the plate spring member, when the pair of projections of the vehicle-mounted member are moved in the second direction intersecting the third direction in which the urging force of the plate spring member is applied. Therefore, both of enhancing the holding force of the vehicle-mounted component and improving the mounting workability can be realized.
In a second aspect of the present disclosure, the support surface and the leaf spring member allow the protrusion to move on the support surface to the other side closer to the second direction than the recess. When the vehicle-mounted member is moved to one side in the second direction, which is inclined about the pair of protruding portions that enter the other side in the second direction than the recess, the protruding portions are accommodated in the recess and held elastically, and the inclination-restricting locking portions are engaged with the inclination-restricting engaging portions.
In the above configuration, when the tilt lock portion engages with the tilt lock engagement portion, the vehicle-mounted member that is tilted about the pair of protruding portions that enter the recess portion closer to the other side in the second direction is moved to one side in the second direction. Thereby, the protruding portion is accommodated in the recess portion and is elastically held, and the tilt restriction locking portion is engaged with the tilt restriction engaging portion. Therefore, a strong force is not required when the tilt lock portion is engaged with the tilt lock engagement portion, and therefore the vehicle-mounted component can be easily mounted on the bracket.
In a third aspect of the present disclosure, the tilt-restricting locking portion engages with the tilt-restricting engaging portion by tilting the vehicle-mounted member about the pair of protruding portions that are accommodated in the recess portion and are elastically held.
In the above configuration, when the tilt lock portion is engaged with the tilt lock engagement portion, the vehicle-mounted member may be tilted about the pair of protruding portions that are accommodated in the recess portion and elastically held, and the tilt lock portion may be engaged with the tilt lock engagement portion. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted component can be easily mounted on the bracket.
In a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, a mounting structure of an in-vehicle component has a bracket fixed to a vehicle body side and an in-vehicle component held by the bracket, wherein the bracket includes: a pair of support portions provided apart from each other in a first direction; an engagement portion; the in-vehicle component includes: a pair of protruding portions corresponding to the pair of supporting portions and protruding in the first direction; and a locking portion engageable with the engaging portion; wherein each of the pair of support portions has a recess and a support surface; a plate spring member opposed to each of the pair of support portions is fixed to the bracket; the engaging portion engages with the locking portion in a state where the pair of protruding portions are held by the recess portion and the plate spring member, and restricts tilting about the protruding portions.
In a fifth aspect of the present disclosure, the engaging portion is not engaged with the locking portion in a state where the pair of protruding portions are located between the support surface and the plate spring member.
Effects of the invention
According to the present disclosure, it is possible to achieve both reinforcement of the holding force of the vehicle-mounted component and improvement of the mounting workability.

As shown in fig. 5 (a), 5 (b), 5 (c), and 6, the in-vehicle camera 6 is a camera capable of capturing images of the front of the vehicle 1, and the in-vehicle camera 6 has a pair of shaft-like protruding portions 40 protruding from a camera body 45 toward both sides in the vehicle width direction, and engaging protruding portions 41 protruding forward from the camera body 45, and is disposed between the left and right side wall portions 16 of the camera bracket 4. In a state where the in-vehicle camera 6 is mounted on the camera mount 4 (hereinafter referred to as a camera-mounted state), the upper end of the camera body 45 is disposed above the support surface 23 of the camera mount 4. In a state where the in-vehicle camera 6 is disposed between the left and right side wall portions 16 of the camera mount 4, the shaft-like protruding portion 40 corresponds to the support surface 23 of the camera mount 4 and is formed to have a length that can be placed on the support surface 23 of the camera mount 4. The engaging protrusion 41 is formed in a size that can be inserted into the engaging hole 19 of the engaging portion 18 of the camera mount 4.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the camera cover 7 is fixed to the cover mounting portion 12 of the instrument panel 3 to cover the camera stand 4 and the in-vehicle camera 6 in the camera mounted state. A lens exposure hole (not shown) for exposing a lens (not shown) of the camera body 45 is formed in an upper portion of the front surface of the camera cover 7.
Next, description is made regarding an installation operation when the in-vehicle camera 6 is installed on the camera mount 4.
As shown in fig. 5 (a), 5 (b), 5 (c) and 6, when the in-vehicle camera 6 is mounted on the camera mount 4, first, the in-vehicle camera 6 is disposed between the pair of side wall portions 16 in a state of being inclined obliquely upward and forward, and the protruding portion 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 is inserted between the support surface 23 of the camera mount 4 and the front end portion 37 of the leaf spring 5 from the front, and is moved to a rear region rearward of the recessed portion 24. At this time, the leaf spring 5 is elastically deformed upward by the protruding portion 40 moving from the front side to the rear side on the support surface 23 to allow the protruding portion 40 to move rearward. Next, the front end side of the in-vehicle camera 6 is inclined downward about a pair of protruding portions 40 that enter the rear region as axes (centers), and the engaging protruding portion 41 of the in-vehicle camera 6 is disposed rearward of the engaging hole 19 of the engaging portion 18 of the camera bracket 4. Finally, by moving the in-vehicle camera 6 forward, the pair of protruding portions 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 are moved forward and accommodated in the recess 24 of the camera bracket 4, and the engaging protruding portion 41 of the in-vehicle camera 6 is inserted into and engaged with the engaging hole 19 of the engaging portion 18 of the camera bracket 4. The pair of protruding portions 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 accommodated in the recess 24 of the camera mount 4 are pushed downward by the abutment portion 36 of the leaf spring 5 and are elastically held. When the pair of protruding portions 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 is moved forward from the rear area rearward of the concave portion 24, the plate spring 5 is elastically deformed upward by the protruding portions 40 that are moved from the rear side to the front side on the support surface 23, and allows the pair of protruding portions 40 to move toward the concave portion 24.
In the camera-mounted state, the leaf spring 5 urges and elastically holds the protruding portion 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 accommodated in the recess 24 of the camera mount 4 from above toward the recess 24, and the engagement hole 19 of the engagement portion 18 of the camera mount 4 engages with the engagement protruding portion 41 of the in-vehicle camera 6, thereby restricting the in-vehicle camera 6 from tilting about the pair of protruding portions 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6. The projection 40 is elastically held between the contact portion 36 of the leaf spring 5 and the recess 24 of the camera mount 4, and the engagement projection 41 is inserted into the engagement hole 19 of the engagement portion 18 of the camera mount 4 and engaged with the engagement hole 19 of the engagement portion 18, so that the in-vehicle camera 6 is held by the camera mount 4.
According to the present embodiment, the protruding portion 40 accommodated in the recess 24 is pushed from above toward the recess 24 by the plate spring 5, so that the plate spring 5 elastically holds the protruding portion 40 between the plate spring 5 and the recess 24, and the in-vehicle camera 6 is restricted from tilting about the pair of protruding portions 40 by the engagement protruding portion 41 of the engagement portion 18 engaging with the engagement hole 19. Therefore, the change in the mounting angle of the in-vehicle camera 6 with respect to the camera mount 4 is reliably prevented, and the in-vehicle camera 6 can be reliably held with respect to the camera mount 4.
Further, when the in-vehicle camera 6 is mounted on the camera mount 4, the pair of protruding portions 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 move in the front-rear direction on the support surface 23 while elastically deforming the leaf springs 5 in the up-down direction. That is, even when the urging force of the leaf spring 5 is increased in order to reliably hold the in-vehicle camera 6, the pair of protruding portions 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 move in the front-rear direction intersecting the up-down direction in which the urging force of the leaf spring 5 is applied, the amount of increase in the resistance force that the protruding portions 40 receive from the leaf spring 5 is smaller than the amount of increase in the urging force of the leaf spring 5 when the protruding portions 40 are moved. Therefore, both the holding force of the in-vehicle camera 6 and the mounting workability can be enhanced.
In the above-described structure, when the engagement protruding portion 41 is engaged with the engagement hole 19 of the engagement portion 18, the in-vehicle camera 6 inclined about the pair of protruding portions 40 that enter rearward of the concave portion 24 is moved forward. Thereby, the protruding portion 40 is accommodated in the recess 24 and elastically held, and the engaging protruding portion 41 is engaged with the engaging hole 19 of the engaging portion 18. Therefore, since a strong force is not required when the engagement protrusion 41 is engaged with the engagement hole 19, the in-vehicle camera 6 can be easily mounted on the camera mount 4.
In the present disclosure, the structure of the bracket main body 13 is exemplified as integrally having the floor portion 15 extending in the vehicle width direction in a state of intersecting the up-down direction and the side wall portion 16 bent from both ends in the vehicle width direction of the floor portion 15 and extending upward, but not limited thereto, for example, the bracket main body may be structured as integrally having the floor portion extending in the up-down direction in a state of intersecting the vehicle width direction and the side wall portion bent from both ends in the up-down direction of the floor portion and extending upward.
In the present embodiment, the camera mount 4 is disposed at the substantially center of the upper surface of the instrument panel 3 in the vehicle width direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the camera mount may be fixed to the ceiling of the vehicle cabin 2.
In the present embodiment, the engagement projection 41 of the in-vehicle camera 6 is inserted into and engaged with the engagement hole 19 of the camera mount 4, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the engaging projection provided on the camera mount 4 may be inserted into and engaged with an engaging hole formed in the in-vehicle camera 6.
Next, a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to fig. 8 to 10. In this embodiment, the shape of the engaging portion 47 and the side wall portion 16 of the camera mount 46 and the shape of the plate spring 70 are different from those of the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals are used for the same configuration as those of the first embodiment and the description thereof is omitted.
As shown in fig. 8 and 9, an engaging portion 47 is provided at a vehicle width direction central portion of the protruding region 17 of the bottom plate portion 15 of the camera bracket 46. The engaging portion 47 has a pair of engaging plate portions 51 that are separated from each other and stand up in the vehicle width direction, and is fixed to a front end edge portion of the vehicle width direction central portion of the protruding region 17 of the bottom plate portion 15 of the camera bracket 46. The pair of engaging plate portions 51 each have a base end portion 52, an intermediate portion 53, and a distal end portion 54, and protrude upward from the bottom plate portion 15 of the camera mount 46. The base end portions 52 of the pair of engagement plate portions 51 extend upward from the bottom plate portion 15 of the camera bracket 46 and in a direction substantially orthogonal to the bottom plate portion 15 of the camera bracket 46, and are arranged substantially parallel to each other. The intermediate portions 53 of the pair of engaging plate portions 51 extend upward from the upper ends of the base end portions 52 in directions toward each other. The upper ends of the intermediate portions 53 of the pair of engaging plate portions 51 are separated from each other in the vehicle width direction. The distance between the upper ends of the intermediate portions 53 of the pair of engaging plate portions 51 is set to be shorter than the length of the engaging protruding portion 41 of the in-vehicle camera 6 in the vehicle width direction. The front end portions 54 of the pair of engaging plate portions 51 extend upward from the upper end of the intermediate portion 53 in a direction away from each other. The base end portions 52 and the intermediate portions 53 of the pair of engaging plate portions 51 define a receiving area 55 for receiving the engaging projection 41 of the in-vehicle camera 6. The inner side surfaces of the front end portions 54 of the pair of engaging plate portions 51 in the vehicle width direction guide the engaging protruding portions 41 of the in-vehicle camera 6 from above to the housing area 55.
The side wall portion 16 of the camera bracket 46 has a side wall base portion 60 that extends from both ends in the vehicle width direction of the floor portion 15 in a curved upward direction, and an upper support portion 61 that extends from an upper end portion of the side wall base portion 60 in a curved outward in the vehicle width direction, and extends in the front-rear direction while standing along the vehicle width direction outer end edge of the floor portion 15. A fixing portion 71 of a leaf spring 70 described later is fixed to the vehicle width direction inner side surface of the rear end upper portion of the side wall base 60.
As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the leaf spring 70 integrally has a fixing portion 71 fixed to the side wall portion 16, a base end portion 72 disposed rearward of the side wall portion 16, and a leaf spring main body 73 opposed to the support surface 23 of the side wall portion 16. The fixing portion 71 is formed in a plate shape and is fixed to a rear end portion of the vehicle width direction inner side surface of the side wall base 60. The base end portion 72 is formed in a plate shape, is bent from the rear end edge of the fixing portion 71 and extends outward in the vehicle width direction, and has an upper end edge disposed above the support surface 23 of the side wall portion 16. In the present embodiment, the fixing portion 71 of the leaf spring 70 is fixed to the vehicle width direction inner side surface of the rear end upper portion of the side wall base 60 and the base end portion 72 is bent and extended outward in the vehicle width direction from the rear end edge of the fixing portion 71, but the structure is not limited to this, and the fixing portion of the leaf spring may be fixed to the vehicle width direction outer side surface of the rear end upper portion of the side wall base 60 and the base end portion may be bent and extended outward in the vehicle width direction from the rear end edge of the fixing portion.
The plate spring main body 73 integrally has an abutment portion 58 and a distal end portion 59. The abutment portion 58 is bent forward from the upper end edge of the base end portion 72, extends substantially linearly parallel to the support surface 23 at a position separated upward from the support surface 23, and faces the recess 24 at a position separated upward from the recess 24 of the side wall portion 16. The distal end portion 59 extends obliquely and linearly with respect to the abutment portion 58 so as to gradually separate from the support surface 23 as it goes forward from the distal end edge of the abutment portion 58.
Next, a mounting operation when the in-vehicle camera 6 is mounted on the camera mount 46 will be described.
As shown in fig. 8 to 10, when the in-vehicle camera 6 is mounted on the camera mount 46, first, the in-vehicle camera 6 is disposed between the pair of side wall portions 16 in a state of being inclined obliquely upward and forward, and the protruding portion 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 is inserted from the front between the support surface 23 of the camera mount 46 and the front end portion 59 of the leaf spring 70, and is moved to the concave portion 24 of the camera mount 46, and is accommodated in the concave portion 24. At this time, the leaf spring 70 fixed to the camera mount 46 is elastically deformed upward by the projection 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 moving from the front side to the rear side on the support surface 23 of the camera mount 46, and allows the pair of projections 40 to move toward the recess 24. The pair of protruding portions 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 accommodated in the recess 24 of the camera bracket 46 are pushed downward by the abutment portion 58 of the leaf spring 70 and are elastically held. Next, the front end side of the in-vehicle camera 6 is inclined downward with the pair of protruding portions 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 accommodated in the recess 24 of the camera mount 46 and elastically held as axes. The engaging protruding portion 41 of the in-vehicle camera 6 is guided by the vehicle width direction inner side surfaces of the front end portions 54 of the pair of engaging plate portions 51 of the camera bracket 46, is accommodated in the accommodating area 55 between the pair of engaging plate portions 51, and is engaged with the engaging portion 47 of the camera bracket 46.
In the camera-mounted state, the plate spring 70 urges and elastically holds the protruding portion 40 of the in-vehicle camera 6 accommodated in the recess 24 of the camera bracket 46 from above toward the recess 24, and the engaging portion 47 of the camera bracket 46 engages with the engaging protruding portion 41 of the in-vehicle camera 6, thereby restricting the in-vehicle camera 6 from tilting about the pair of protruding portions of the in-vehicle camera 6. The in-vehicle camera 6 is held by the camera mount 46 by the projection 40 being elastically held between the abutting portion 58 of the leaf spring 70 and the recess 24 of the camera mount 46, and the engaging projection 41 being engaged with the engaging portion 47 of the camera mount 46.
In the present embodiment, the engaging projection 41 of the in-vehicle camera 6 is engaged with the engaging portion 47 of the camera mount 46, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the engaging protruding portion provided on the camera mount 46 may be engaged with the engaging portion formed on the in-vehicle camera 6.
