Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、カメラ装置やセンサ等の監視部品を車両に取付けるための技術に関する。
【0002】
【背景技術】
自動車のバンパーは、自動車の外観を装う外装部品であるため、該バンパーに部品取付用のねじボスを設けることは避けられている。これは、例えば、ねじボスをバンパーの内側に設けた場合であっても、バンパーの外側にいわゆる”ひけ”が生じてしまい、意匠性を損ってしまうからである。
【0003】
このため、カメラ装置、ソナー等のセンサ類をバンパーに取付けるにあたっては、ねじをバンパー側に螺合させる必要のない構造を採用するのが一般的である。
【0004】
この種の取付構造として、例えば、バンパーに形成された孔にエスカッションを挿入配置し、このエスカッション及びカメラ固定テープを用いて、バンパーの内側にアングルを固定し、さらに、該アングルにねじを用いてカメラ装置を固定した構成が考えられる。
【0005】
また、他の取付構造として、バンパーに貫通した取付孔に、センサのうち大径な頭部部分を残して小径な挿入部分(本体部分)を挿入し、挿入部分に形成した係止溝に、固定具に形成した二股状の係止脚を挿入して、センサを固定する構造がある。
【0006】
後者の取付構造に関しては、例えば、特許文献1に開示されている。
【0007】
【特許文献1】
特開平11−133136号公報
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、前者の取付構造では、多数の部品を必要とする上、取付作業性も悪く、コストアップの要因となる。
【0009】
また、後者の取付構造では、取付孔の外側から取付対象部品の本体部分を挿入して頭部部分を取付孔の外周部外側に係止させる構成であるため、取付対象となる部品の本体部分が大きい場合には、バンパーに形成する取付孔を大きくする必要があるし、また、これに伴い取付対象部品の頭部部分も取付孔以上に大きくする必要がある。このため、外観上視認される取付構造が大型化し、意匠上好ましくない。
【0010】
そこで、この発明の課題は、比較的少ない部品で容易に取付作業を行うことができる上、外観上視認される構成部分のコンパクト化を図ることが可能な技術を提供することにある。
【0011】

【0020】
【発明の実施の形態】
{第1の実施の形態}
以下、この発明の第1の実施の形態に係るカメラ取付部構造について説明する。
【0021】
図1は第1の実施の形態に係るカメラ取付部構造を示す分解斜視図であり、図2は同カメラ取付部構造を示す斜視図であり、図3は同カメラ取付部構造を示す底面図である。
【0022】
ここでは、車両のバンパー等の被取付板10に、車両周辺を撮像するためのカメラ装置を取付ける構成について説明するが、対象物までの距離を測定する超音波センサ等、一部を外部に露出させた状態で取付けられる諸監視部品の取付に適用できる。
【0023】
カメラ取付部構造は、取付部材としてのエスカッション部材20と、監視部品としてのカメラ装置30と、付勢部材としてのリテーナ部材40とを備えており、略矩形状の取付孔11が形成された被取付板10に取付けられる。なお、各図では、被取付板10の一部のみを図示している。
【0024】
エスカッション部材20は、樹脂等により形成された部材であり、円板状の取付孔係止部22と、この取付孔係止部22の一方面側に突設された係合部としての係合片25とを備えている。
【0025】
取付孔係止部22は、取付孔11よりも大きな広がりを持つ円板形状に形成されており、取付孔11の周縁部に被取付板10の一方面(例えば、バンパーの外側となる面)側より係止可能に構成されている。また、取付孔係止部22の中央部には、カメラ装置30の撮像面39を挿入配置可能な孔部22hが形成されている。カメラ装置30の撮像面39は、該孔部22hを通じて外部に臨んで外部景色を撮像する。
【0026】
この取付孔係止部22の一方面(例えば、バンパー側を指向する面)であって、上記取付孔11の周縁部と対応する位置に、一対の係合片25及び一対の突片24が突設されている。そして、取付孔係止部22を取付孔11の周縁部に係止させた状態で、各突片24,25が取付孔11の周縁部に当接し、被取付板10の面方向における取付孔係止部22の位置決めが図られる。
【0027】
また、上記係合片25は、撓み変形可能な弾性片状に形成されており、その先端部に後述する被係合突部34と係合可能な係合孔部26が形成されている。
【0028】
カメラ装置30は、カメラ本体部31と、撮像レンズ部32と、被係合部としての被係合突部34とを備えている。
【0029】
カメラ本体部31は、筺状に形成されており、その内部にCCD素子や所定の撮像回路等を内蔵している。
【0030】
撮像レンズ部32は、カメラ本体部31の正面側に突設された略筒状部材であり、内部に適宜配列でレンズを保持している。
【0031】
被係合突部34は、撮像レンズ部32の両側部に突出形成された凸状部材であり、撮像レンズ部32の前方に向けて順次内向き傾斜する傾斜面を有している。
【0032】
なお、本実施の形態では、カメラ本体部31のハウジング及び撮像レンズ部32のハウジング及び被係合突部34は、樹脂等により一体形成されている。
【0033】
そして、上記エスカッション部材20の一対の係合片25を、取付孔11内に挿入配置した状態で、撮像レンズ部32を一対の係合片25の後方から押込むようにして当該一対の係合片25間に配設することで、各被係合突部34が各係合片25の係合孔部26に嵌まり込んで係合するようになっている。
【0034】
リテーナ部材40は、鋼材や樹脂等の弾性材料により形成されて、カメラ装置30を被取付板10の他方面(例えば、バンパーの内側となる面)から離反する方向に付勢する部材であり、基板部42と基板部42の4隅に形成された付勢脚部44とを備えている。
【0035】
基板部42は、カメラ本体部31の背面よりも大きな広がりを持つ略方形板状に形成されており、当該カメラ本体部31の背面にねじ止等により固定される。
【0036】
各付勢脚部44は、基板部42の各隅部からその一方面側に向けて外向きに徐々に広がるようにして延設されており、その各付勢脚部の先端部は、さらに、外方に向けて屈曲されている。
【0037】
そして、基板部42をカメラ本体部31の背面に固定した状態で、各付勢脚部44をカメラ本体部31の外側に広げるように弾性変形させつつ、各付勢脚部44の先端部をカメラ本体部31の外側で被取付板10の他方面に当接させると、各付勢脚部44が原形に復帰しようとする弾性力により、カメラ装置30が被取付板10から離反する方向に付勢されることになる。
【0038】
このように構成されたカメラ取付部構造の組立手順について説明する。
【0039】
まず、カメラ装置30の背面に、リテーナ部材40の基板部42を取付けておく。
【0040】
そして、エスカッション部材20の一対の係合片25及び一対の突片24を、被取付板10の一方面側から取付孔11内に挿入し、これら一対の係合片25及び一対の突片24を、被取付板10の他方面側に突出させる。これに合わせて、カメラ装置30の撮像レンズ部32を、被取付板10の他方面側から一対の係合片25間に押込む。この際、各付勢脚部44の先端部が、被取付板10の他方面に当接するので、この付勢脚部44の弾性力に抗してカメラ装置30を押込む。すると、まず、カメラ装置30側の各被係合突部34の傾斜面が各係合片25の先端部に摺接して、一対の係合片25が押広げられる。そして、さらにカメラ装置30を押込んで、各被係合突部34が各係合片25の係合孔部26に達した時点で、一対の係合片25が原形に復帰すると共に、各被係合突部34が各係合孔部26に嵌まり込んで係合される。この状態では、取付孔係止部22が取付孔11の周縁部に被取付板10の一方面側より係止した状態で、各付勢脚部44により、カメラ装置30が被取付板10の他方面側から離反する方向に付勢される。これにより、カメラ装置30の取付作業が終了する。
【0041】
以上のように構成されたカメラ取付部構造によると、エスカッション部材20の取付孔係止部22を取付孔11の周縁部に係止させると共に、エスカッション部材20の各係合片25の係合孔部26とカメラ装置30側の各被係合突部34とを係合させることで、カメラ装置30を取付けることができるため、比較的少ない部品で容易に取付作業を行うことができる。
【0042】
特に、リテーナ部材40によりカメラ装置30が被取付板10の他方面側から離反する方向に付勢されているため、該カメラ装置30をがたつきなく取付けることができる。
【0043】
しかも、取付作業を行う際に、カメラ装置30のカメラ本体部31を取付孔11に挿通させる必要はないので、取付孔11を該カメラ本体部31が通過できない程度の比較的小さな大きさに形成することができ、また、これに合わせて、エスカッション部材20の取付孔係止部22を比較的小さくすることができる。従って、外観上視認される構成部分のコンパクト化を図ることができる。
【0044】
また、複数の付勢脚部44の付勢力によって、カメラ装置30が付勢されるため、異なる形状の被取付板10に容易に対応できる。
【0045】
図4(a)は、第1の実施の形態に係るカメラ取付部構造の第1変形例を示す斜視図であり、図4(b)は第1変形例で用いられるリテーナ部材を示す斜視図である。
【0046】
この第1変形例では、上記リテーナ部材40に代えて、次の構成のリテーナ部材40Bを用いてる。
【0047】
すなわち、このリテーナ部材40Bは、鋼材或は樹脂等の弾性材により形成され、カメラ装置30と被取付板10の他方面側との間に介在してカメラ装置30を付勢する部材であり、基板部42Bと付勢脚部44Bとを備えている。
【0048】
基板部42Bは、撮像レンズ部32を挿入配置可能な孔部42Bhが形成された方形枠状の部材であり、カメラ本体部31の前面の外周囲に当接可能に形成されている。
【0049】
また、この基板部42Bの各隅部からその一方面側に向けて外方に広がるようにして付勢脚部44Bが延設されている。
【0050】
そして、上記第1の実施の形態と同様態様にて、エスカッション部材20とカメラ装置30とを取付けると、各付勢脚部44Bが外方に広がるように弾性変形した状態で、各付勢脚部44Bの先端部が被取付板10の他方面に当接することにより、各付勢脚部44Bの弾性復元力により、カメラ装置30が被取付板10の他方面側から離反する方向に付勢されることとなる。
【0051】
この第1変形例では、リテーナ部材40Bを、カメラ装置30と被取付板10の他方面との間に介在させているため、上記第1の実施の形態のように、リテーナ部材40Bをカメラ装置30に対してねじ等で固定する必要がなく、リテーナ部材40Bの一部分である基板部42Bをカメラ本体部31の前面に当接させるだけで済む。このため、該リテーナ部材40Bとカメラ装置30とを固定する構成を簡易化或は省略することができる。
【0052】
図5は第1の実施の形態に係るカメラ取付部構造の第2変形例を示す斜視図である。
【0053】
この第2変形例では、上記リテーナ部材40に代えて、カメラ装置30に一体化されたリテーナ部材40Cを用いている。
【0054】
すなわち、このリテーナ部材40Bは、カメラ装置30のハウジングに一体化された複数(ここでは4つ))の付勢脚部44Cを備えている。各付勢脚部44Cは、カメラ本体部31のハウジング前面の4隅からその前方に向けて外方に広がるようにして延設されている。
【0055】
そして、上記第1の実施の形態と同様態様にて、エスカッション部材20とカメラ装置30とを取付けると、各付勢脚部44Cが外方に広がるように弾性変形した状態で、各付勢脚部44Cの先端部が被取付板10の他方面に当接することにより、各付勢脚部44Cの弾性復元力により、カメラ装置30が被取付板10の他方面側から離反する方向に付勢されることとなる。
【0056】
この第2変形例では、リテーナ部材40Cがカメラ装置30に一体形成されているため、部品点数をより少なくすることができる。
【0057】
{第2の実施の形態}
この発明の第2の実施の形態に係るカメラ取付部構造について説明する。なお、
本実施の形態の説明において、上記第1の実施の形態において説明したものと同様構成要素については、同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。
【0058】
図6はカメラ取付部構造を示す分解斜視図であり、図7は同カメラ取付部構造を示す斜視図である。なお、図7では、被取付板11は省略されている。
【0059】
このカメラ取付部構造は、上記第1の実施の形態と同様に、カメラ装置130を上述した被取付板10に取付けるための構造であり、取付部材としてのエスカッション部材120と、監視部品としてのカメラ装置130と、付勢部材及び係合保持部材としての機能を有する係合保持リテーナ部材140とを備えている。
【0060】
エスカッション部材120は、図6,図7及び図9に示すように、樹脂等により形成された部材であり、取付孔係止部22と、複数の係合片125と、一対の突片124とを備えている。
【0061】
各係合片125は、取付孔係止部22の一方面側に延設された弾性片126の先端部に、内向きに突出する突部127が形成されてなる。本実施の形態では、取付孔11の上辺及び下辺に対応して、それぞれ2つの係合片125が形成されている。各係合片125は、外方に傾いた原形非係合位置から取付孔係止部22に対して略垂直に延びる弾性係合位置に向けて弾性変形可能に形成されている。前記原形非係合位置では、突部127は後述する被係合凹部134に対して非係合状態となり、前記弾性係合位置では当該被係合凹部134に対して係合状態となる。
【0062】
カメラ装置130は、図6〜図9に示すように、カメラ本体部31と、撮像レンズ部132と、被係合部として被係合凹部134と、スライドガイド部136とを備えている。
【0063】
撮像レンズ部132は、上記撮像レンズ部32と同様に適宜配列にてレンズを保持している。ここでは、撮像レンズ部132のハウジングの外観形状は、扁平な略直方体形状を呈している。
【0064】
この撮像レンズ部132の外周部であって上記各突部127と対応する位置に、それぞれ被係合凹部134が形成されている。本実施の形態では、撮像レンズ部132の上面及び下面の基端部に、それぞれ2つの被係合凹部134が形成されている。そして、上記エスカッション部材120の各係合片125を、取付孔11内に挿入配置した状態で、各係合片125と原形非係合位置から弾性係合位置に向けて弾性変形することで、各突部127が対応する各被係合凹部134に係合する。
【0065】
スライドガイド部136は、カメラ本体部31と撮像レンズ部132の間部分の外周囲から外方に向けて延びる略方形板状に形成されている。
【0066】
スライドガイド部136の外周部の上下縁部に沿って、各保持アーム部144の外側の上下辺に摺接可能なガイド片137が突出形成されている。この上側のガイド片137と撮像レンズ部132の上面間、及び、下側のガイド片137と撮像レンズ部132の下面間とに、それぞれ各保持アーム部144をスライド挿入可能な所定幅のスライドガイド溝部138が形成されている。各ガイド片137は、各保持アーム部144の外側の辺に摺接して、それらが外側に拡開しないように保持する機能をも有している。
【0067】
また、各スライドガイド溝部138の底部の長手方向中間部には、保持アーム部144のスライド挿入方向と直交する方向に沿って、位置決溝部139が形成されている。
【0068】
係合保持リテーナ部材140は、図6,図7,図9及び図10に示すように、樹脂或は金属等により形成された部材であり、連結部142の両端部に一対の保持アーム部144が略平行姿勢で延設された略U字状の形状を有している。
【0069】
一対の保持アーム部144は、上記スライドガイド溝部138にスライド挿入可能な細長板状に形成されており、それらの間に撮像レンズ部132の上下幅寸法に対応する間隔寸法をあけた姿勢で保持されている。そして、一対の保持アーム部144を各スライドガイド溝部138内にスライド挿入した状態で、各保持アーム部144の内側の辺が、各係合片125に当接し、これにより各係合片125を前記弾性係合位置に保持するようになっている。
【0070】
また、各保持アーム部144の先端部内側の辺には、その先端側に向けて適宜拡開する斜辺部144aが形成されている。そして、各保持アーム部144を各スライドガイド溝部138にスライド挿入する途中で、各斜辺部144aが順次に各係合片125に摺接し、該各係合片125を原形非係合位置から弾性係合位置に弾性変形させるようになっている。
【0071】
さらに、各保持アーム部144には、それらのスライド挿入方向と直交する方向に知って位置決突条部145が形成されている。そして、各保持アーム部144を各スライドガイド溝部138内に奥まで挿入すると、各位置決突条部145が各位置決溝部139に係合する。これにより、各保持アーム部144の挿入完了の確認及びその抜止めが図られるようになっている。
【0072】
また、この係合保持リテーナ部材140に、そのスライド装着方向と略直交する方向に突出する持ち手部143が形成されている。ここでは、持ち手部143は、連結部142の一側部を曲げ起した形状とされている。この持ち手部143を掴んで、係合保持リテーナ部材140のスライド装着及び取外しを行えるようになっている。
【0073】
さらに、この係合保持リテーナ部材140には、カメラ装置130を被取付板10から離反する方向に付勢する付勢部材である付勢脚部146が一体化された構成とされている。
【0074】
より具体的には、一対の保持アーム部144の両端部近傍であって被取付板10と対向する面に、付勢脚部146が4つ形成されている。各付勢脚部146は、被取付板10側に向けて外方に徐々に広がるようにして延設されている。
【0075】
そして、係合保持リテーナ部材140を装着した状態で、各付勢脚部146を外側に広げるように弾性変形させつつ、各付勢脚部146の先端部を被取付板10の他方面に当接させることで、各付勢脚部146が原形に復帰しようとする弾性力により、カメラ装置130が被取付板10の他方面から離反する方向に付勢されることになる。なお、この付勢力は、カメラ装置130側では、スライドガイド部136にて受止められる。
【0076】
このように構成されたカメラ取付部構造の組立手順について説明する。
【0077】
まず、エスカッション部材120の各係合片125及び一対の突片124を、被取付板10の一方面側から取付孔11内に挿入し、これら各係合片125及び一対の突片124を、被取付板10の他方面側に突出させる。そして、カメラ装置130の撮像レンズ部132を各係合片125及び一対の突片124で囲まれた空間内に配設し、その撮像レンズ部132の前面を取付孔係止部22に押付けるようにする(図11に被取付板10を省略した斜視図を図示)。
【0078】
この状態で、例えば、組立作業者が持ち手部143を掴んで、各付勢脚部146の先端部を被取付板10の他方面に押付けてそれらを弾性変形させつつ、撮像レンズ部132及び各係合片125を挟むようにして、係合保持リテーナ部材140の一対の保持アーム部144を対応する各スライドガイド溝部138内にスライド挿入する。各保持アーム部144を対応する各スライドガイド溝部138内にスライド挿入する途中で、各斜辺部144aが順次各係合片125に摺接し、該各係合片125を原形非係合位置から弾性係合位置に弾性変形させる。これにより、各係合片125の突部127が該被係合凹部134に係合する。
【0079】
そして、各位置決突条部145が各位置決溝部139に係合するまで、各保持アーム部144を奥まで挿入すると、組立作業が終了する。この状態では、上記第1の実施の形態と同様に、取付孔係止部22が取付孔11の周縁部に被取付板10の一方面側より係止した状態で、各付勢脚部146により、カメラ装置130が被取付板10の他方面側から離反する方向に付勢される。
【0080】
また、カメラ装置130を取外す際には、例えば、作業者が持ち手部143を掴んで、係合保持リテーナ部材140の一対の保持アーム部144を各スライドガイド溝部138から引抜く。これにより、各係合片125が弾性係合位置から原形非係合位置に復帰し、各係合片125の突部127と該被係合凹部134との係合が解除され、或は、解除可能な状態となり、カメラ装置130を取外し可能な状態となる。
【0081】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a technique for attaching a monitoring component such as a camera device or a sensor to a vehicle.
[0002]
[Background]
Since the bumper of an automobile is an exterior part that disguises the appearance of the automobile, it is avoided to provide a screw boss for attaching the part to the bumper. This is because, for example, even when a screw boss is provided inside the bumper, a so-called “sink” occurs on the outside of the bumper, which impairs the design.
[0003]
For this reason, when attaching sensors such as a camera device and sonar to a bumper, it is general to employ a structure that does not require a screw to be screwed to the bumper side.
[0004]
As this type of mounting structure, for example, an escutcheon is inserted into a hole formed in the bumper, an angle is fixed to the inside of the bumper using the escutcheon and a camera fixing tape, and a screw is used for the angle. The structure which fixed the camera apparatus can be considered.
[0005]
As another mounting structure, a small-diameter insertion portion (main body portion) is inserted into the mounting hole penetrating the bumper, leaving the large-diameter head portion of the sensor, and in the locking groove formed in the insertion portion, There is a structure for fixing a sensor by inserting a bifurcated locking leg formed on a fixture.

[0038]
A procedure for assembling the camera mounting portion structure thus configured will be described.
[0039]
First, the substrate portion 42 of the retainer member 40 is attached to the back surface of the camera device 30.
[0040]
Then, the pair of engaging pieces 25 and the pair of projecting pieces 24 of the escutcheon member 20 are inserted into the mounting hole 11 from one surface side of the mounted plate 10, and the pair of engaging pieces 25 and the pair of projecting pieces 24 are inserted. Projecting to the other surface side of the mounted plate 10. In accordance with this, the imaging lens portion 32 of the camera device 30 is pushed between the pair of engaging pieces 25 from the other surface side of the mounted plate 10. At this time, the tip end portion of each urging leg 44 abuts against the other surface of the mounted plate 10, so that the camera device 30 is pushed in against the elastic force of the urging leg 44. Then, first, the inclined surface of each of the engaged protrusions 34 on the camera device 30 side comes into sliding contact with the tip of each engagement piece 25, and the pair of engagement pieces 25 are expanded. Further, when the camera device 30 is further pushed in and each engaged protrusion 34 reaches the engagement hole 26 of each engagement piece 25, the pair of engagement pieces 25 returns to the original shape, and Engagement protrusions 34 are fitted into the respective engagement holes 26 and engaged. In this state, the mounting hole locking portion 22 is locked to the peripheral edge of the mounting hole 11 from the one surface side of the mounted plate 10, and the urging leg portion 44 causes the camera device 30 to be attached to the mounting plate 10. It is urged in a direction away from the other surface side. Thereby, the mounting operation of the camera device 30 is completed.
[0041]
According to the camera mounting portion structure configured as described above, the mounting hole locking portion 22 of the escutcheon member 20 is locked to the peripheral edge portion of the mounting hole 11 and the engagement holes of the respective engagement pieces 25 of the escutcheon member 20 are engaged. Since the camera device 30 can be mounted by engaging the engaging portion 34 with each of the engaged protrusions 34 on the camera device 30 side, the mounting operation can be easily performed with relatively few parts.
[0042]
In particular, since the camera device 30 is urged by the retainer member 40 in a direction away from the other surface side of the mounted plate 10, the camera device 30 can be mounted without rattling.
[0043]
Moreover, since it is not necessary to insert the camera main body 31 of the camera device 30 through the mounting hole 11 when performing the mounting operation, the mounting hole 11 is formed in a relatively small size so that the camera main body 31 cannot pass therethrough. Moreover, the attachment hole latching | locking part 22 of the escutcheon member 20 can be made comparatively small according to this. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the components that are visually recognized.

Each engagement piece 125 is formed with a protrusion 127 projecting inwardly at the tip of an elastic piece 126 extending on one side of the mounting hole locking portion 22. In the present embodiment, two engagement pieces 125 are formed respectively corresponding to the upper side and the lower side of the mounting hole 11. Each engagement piece 125 is formed so as to be elastically deformable from an original non-engagement position inclined outward toward an elastic engagement position extending substantially perpendicular to the attachment hole locking portion 22. At the original non-engagement position, the protrusion 127 is in a non-engagement state with respect to an engagement recess portion 134 to be described later, and is in an engagement state with respect to the engagement recess portion 134 at the elastic engagement position.
[0062]
As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the camera device 130 includes a camera body portion 31, an imaging lens portion 132, an engaged recess 134 as an engaged portion, and a slide guide portion 136.
[0063]
Similar to the imaging lens unit 32, the imaging lens unit 132 holds lenses in an appropriate arrangement. Here, the external shape of the housing of the imaging lens unit 132 is a flat, substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape.
[0064]
Engaged recesses 134 are formed at positions corresponding to the protrusions 127 on the outer periphery of the imaging lens unit 132. In the present embodiment, two engaged recesses 134 are formed at the base end portions of the upper surface and the lower surface of the imaging lens portion 132, respectively. And in the state where each engaging piece 125 of the escutcheon member 120 is inserted and arranged in the mounting hole 11, it is elastically deformed from the original non-engaging position to the elastic engaging position with each engaging piece 125, Each protrusion 127 engages with each corresponding recessed portion 134 to be engaged.
[0065]
The slide guide portion 136 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape that extends outward from the outer periphery of the portion between the camera body portion 31 and the imaging lens portion 132.
[0066]
A guide piece 137 is formed so as to protrude along the upper and lower edges of the outer periphery of the slide guide portion 136 so as to be in sliding contact with the upper and lower sides outside each holding arm portion 144. A slide guide having a predetermined width in which each holding arm portion 144 can be slidably inserted between the upper guide piece 137 and the upper surface of the imaging lens portion 132 and between the lower guide piece 137 and the lower surface of the imaging lens portion 132. A groove 138 is formed. Each guide piece 137 also has a function of sliding in contact with the outer side of each holding arm portion 144 and holding them so as not to spread outward.
[0067]
In addition, a positioning groove 139 is formed in the longitudinal intermediate portion of the bottom of each slide guide groove 138 along a direction orthogonal to the slide insertion direction of the holding arm 144.
[0068]
As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, 9, and 10, the engagement holding retainer member 140 is a member formed of resin or metal, and a pair of holding arm portions 144 at both ends of the connecting portion 142. Has a substantially U-shape extending in a substantially parallel posture.

Then, in a state in which the pair of holding arm portions 144 are slid and inserted into the slide guide groove portions 138, the inner sides of the holding arm portions 144 abut against the engaging pieces 125, thereby causing the engaging pieces 125 to move. The elastic engagement position is held.
[0070]
In addition, an oblique side portion 144a that is appropriately expanded toward the distal end side is formed on the inner side of the distal end portion of each holding arm portion 144. In the course of slidingly inserting each holding arm portion 144 into each slide guide groove portion 138, each oblique side portion 144a sequentially comes into sliding contact with each engagement piece 125, and each engagement piece 125 is elastically moved from the original non-engagement position. It is elastically deformed to the engagement position.
[0071]
Further, each holding arm portion 144 is formed with a positioning protrusion 145 that is known in a direction perpendicular to the slide insertion direction. Then, when each holding arm portion 144 is inserted into each slide guide groove portion 138 as far as it will go, each positioning protrusion 145 engages with each positioning groove portion 139. Thereby, confirmation of the completion of insertion of each holding arm part 144 and the prevention of the removal are achieved.

[0075]
Then, with the engagement holding retainer member 140 attached, the front end of each urging leg 146 contacts the other surface of the mounted plate 10 while elastically deforming each urging leg 146 so as to spread outward. By making contact, the camera device 130 is urged away from the other surface of the mounted plate 10 by the elastic force of the urging legs 146 returning to the original shape. This biasing force is received by the slide guide portion 136 on the camera device 130 side.
[0076]
A procedure for assembling the camera mounting portion structure thus configured will be described.
[0077]
First, each engagement piece 125 and a pair of protrusions 124 of the escutcheon member 120 are inserted into the attachment hole 11 from one side of the attachment plate 10, and each of the engagement pieces 125 and the pair of protrusions 124 are It protrudes to the other surface side of the mounted plate 10. Then, the imaging lens unit 132 of the camera device 130 is disposed in a space surrounded by the engagement pieces 125 and the pair of projecting pieces 124, and the front surface of the imaging lens unit 132 is pressed against the mounting hole locking unit 22. (A perspective view in which the mounted plate 10 is omitted is shown in FIG. 11).
[0078]
In this state, for example, the assembly operator grasps the handle portion 143 and presses the distal end portion of each biasing leg portion 146 against the other surface of the mounted plate 10 to elastically deform them, The pair of holding arm portions 144 of the engagement holding retainer member 140 are slid into the corresponding slide guide groove portions 138 so as to sandwich the respective engagement pieces 125. During the sliding insertion of each holding arm portion 144 into the corresponding slide guide groove portion 138, each oblique side portion 144a sequentially comes into sliding contact with each engagement piece 125, and each engagement piece 125 is elastically moved from the original non-engagement position. Elastically deform to the engagement position. Thereby, the protrusion 127 of each engagement piece 125 engages with the engaged recess 134.
[0079]
Then, when each holding arm portion 144 is inserted deeply until each positioning protrusion 145 engages with each positioning groove 139, the assembling work is completed. In this state, in the same manner as in the first embodiment, each of the urging leg portions 146 is in a state where the mounting hole locking portion 22 is locked to the peripheral edge portion of the mounting hole 11 from the one surface side of the mounted plate 10. Thus, the camera device 130 is biased in a direction away from the other surface side of the mounted plate 10.
[0080]
Further, when removing the camera device 130, for example, the operator grasps the handle portion 143 and pulls out the pair of holding arm portions 144 of the engagement holding retainer member 140 from each slide guide groove portion 138. Thereby, each engagement piece 125 returns from the elastic engagement position to the original non-engagement position, and the engagement between the protrusion 127 of each engagement piece 125 and the engaged recess 134 is released, or The camera device 130 can be detached and the camera device 130 can be removed.
[0081]
According to the camera mounting portion structure configured in this way, the same effect as described in the first embodiment can be obtained.

[0083]
Moreover, since each guide piece 137 abuts on the outer side of each holding arm portion 144 and holds them so as not to spread outward, the protrusion of each engagement piece 125 also from this point. The engagement state between 127 and the engaged recess 134 is more reliably maintained.
[0084]
Further, by removing the engagement holding retainer member 140 so as to be pulled out to the side, the engagement state between the protrusion 127 of the engagement piece 125 and the engagement recessed portion 134 is easily released, and the camera device 130 There is also an advantage that it can be easily removed.
[0085]
Further, since the engagement holding retainer member 140 is integrated with a biasing leg portion 146 that is a biasing member that biases the camera device 130 in a direction away from the mounting plate 10, a separate biasing member is provided. There is no need to attach a member, and the installation work becomes easier. A member similar to the retainer member 40 described in the first embodiment may be used.
[0086]
Moreover, since the handle part 143 is formed in the engagement holding retainer member 140, there exists an advantage that the said handle holding part can be grasped on the operator side, and the engagement holding retainer member 140 can be easily inserted and removed.
[0087]
Further, since the positioning protrusion 145 is formed on the engagement holding retainer member 140 side and each positioning groove portion 139 is formed on each slide guide groove portion 138 on the camera device 130 side, the engagement holding retainer member is formed. It is possible to confirm the completion of the insertion 140 and prevent the removal.
[0088]

Installation work can be performed easily.
[0089]
In addition, when performing the installation work, it is not necessary to insert the body part of the monitoring part into the mounting hole. Therefore, the mounting hole can be made relatively small, and the mounting member can be made relatively small in accordance with this. It is possible to reduce the size of the components that are visually recognized.
[0090]
