Description

  The present invention relates to a support for a vehicle-mounted receiver, and more specifically, for a vehicle-mounted receiver for supporting a vehicle-mounted receiver such as a microwave detector or a GPS receiver and assembling it at a predetermined position in a vehicle interior. The present invention relates to the improvement of the structure of the support.

  In recent years, so-called electronics have been advanced in vehicles, and various electronic devices have been mounted on vehicles. Some on-vehicle electronic devices, such as microwave detectors that detect radio waves emitted from speed measuring devices, or GPS devices that use radio waves sent from artificial satellites, such as radio waves such as microwaves, infrared rays, etc. The vehicle-mounted receiver which has the structure which receives the propagation signal which propagates from is provided. This in-vehicle receiver is mounted at a predetermined position in the vehicle interior, but is generally installed on a windshield or dashboard because it captures a propagation signal propagating from outside the vehicle. In addition, it is installed on a sun visor equipped on the upper edge of the windshield.

For installation of the in-vehicle receiver, a support tool corresponding to the installation location is prepared, and the in-vehicle receiver is assembled to the corresponding location as being supported by the support tool. In other words, in the method of mounting on the windshield, as seen in, for example, Patent Document 1, an in-vehicle receiver is mounted on and supported by a bracket plate, and the stand is connected to the bracket plate and an arm so as to be rotatable in multiple axes. Has a configuration with a suction cup to be adsorbed on the windshield. In the method of mounting on the sun visor, for example, as seen in Patent Document 2, there is a configuration in which a clip is provided on the back of the in-vehicle receiver, and the sun visor is sandwiched and fixed by the clip.

  However, such conventional in-vehicle receiver supports have the following problems. Each of the mounting methods disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 naturally has a dedicated configuration for each corresponding location, but as a product, the user needs to be able to select an installation location as appropriate. For this reason, a plurality of types of supports must be attached to the product, which increases the number of parts and increases the cost.

  In order to attach to the dashboard, a substantially flat mounting surface suitable for the surface of the dashboard is required, and an adhesive member such as a double-sided adhesive seed material is pasted on the mounting surface, and this is bonded to the dashboard. It will be. However, neither of Patent Documents 1 and 2 has a substantially flat surface that can be used as a mounting surface.

  In the method of attaching the sun visor as in Patent Document 2, a gap is formed between the clip and the sun visor unless the relative positional relationship of the clip with respect to the in-vehicle receiver is set appropriately. There is a problem that hinders driving due to the feeling of pressure.

  In addition, since the in-vehicle receiver has an antenna, it is necessary to adjust the antenna so that the antenna protrudes to the front of the windshield and can take a position without a shielding object. However, in Patent Document 2, although there is an antenna deployment mechanism, the clip attached to the back surface of the in-vehicle receiver has no position adjustment mechanism, and the antenna deployed by the deployment mechanism sandwiches the clip. However, it is possible to slightly adjust the forward projecting state by changing the attitude and position of the sun visor. However, there is a problem that the sun visor may take an attitude and position that hinders driving and adjustment is insufficient.

  The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems. The purpose of this invention is to change the configuration for general purposes, and it can be assembled properly to any of the sun visor, windshield, and dashboard, which is advantageous in terms of cost. Another object is to provide a support for an in-vehicle receiver that can reduce the height of assembly and adjust the posture and position of the assembly.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, a vehicle-mounted receiver support according to the present invention is detachably assembled to the back of a thin box-shaped vehicle-mounted receiver, and is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape. The main body is provided with a first linkage hole for linking a clip portion for mounting a sun visor on one short side, and a base portion for mounting a windshield and a dashboard on the other short side. A second linkage hole is provided, the back surface of the main body is formed in a substantially flat surface, the clip portion or the base portion is selectively linked to the two linkage holes, or the back surface of the main body is An adhesive member such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a double-sided adhesive sheet material is attached.

  Further, the clip portion is formed of a metal plate material, and has a mounting plate that contacts the back surface of the main body, one edge of the mounting plate is folded back and bent, and an extended portion faces the mounting plate. Thus, the mounting plate is provided with a third linkage hole that overlaps the first linkage hole. In addition, a plurality of the third linkage holes may be formed in a row or in a long hole toward the bent portion continuous with the sandwiching plate.

  According to the present invention, in the present invention, the substantially rectangular plate-shaped main body is provided with the first linkage hole on one short side and the second linkage hole on the other short side, so that the clip portion and the base The part can be selectively linked. That is, when the sun visor is attached, the clip portion is linked, and the clip portion can be sandwiched between the sun visor and attached. In addition, when mounting the windshield and the dashboard, the base can be linked, and mounting can be performed by assembling the base at a corresponding place.

  Moreover, since the back surface of the main body of the support tool is formed in a substantially flat surface, an adhesive member such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a double-sided adhesive sheet material can be attached to the surface, so that it can be directly attached to the dashboard. Since the mounting surface is substantially flat and there are no protrusions, the height is low, and when the sun visor is mounted, it can be assembled with no gap between the sun visor and, therefore, there is no feeling of pressure and does not hinder driving. When attached directly to the dashboard, the height will be low, and it will not get in the way.

  In addition, since the clip portion is formed from a metal plate material, it does not undergo thermal deformation due to direct sunlight in summer or the like, and the pinching force can be expressed stably. Furthermore, since the plurality of third linkage holes of the clip portion are formed in a line or formed in a long hole, the third linkage holes can be linked with the first linkage hole of the support (main body) with a shifted position. Adjustments can be made. Therefore, the position of the in-vehicle receiver can be easily adjusted so that the antenna side projects toward the windshield, and the optimum posture and position can be obtained.

  As described above, in the in-vehicle receiver support according to the present invention, the clip portion and the base portion can be selectively linked, and the configuration can be changed for general purposes. For this reason, it can be properly assembled to any of the sun visor, windshield, and dashboard. In either case, the main body of the support becomes a common part, and only the adapter member is replaced, which is advantageous in terms of cost.

  Moreover, since the back surface (mounting surface) of the main body of the support tool is substantially flat and has no protrusions, the height of the support tool is low, and the height of assembly can be reduced.

  In addition, since the third linkage holes of the clip part are formed in a row or in a long hole, they can be linked with the position of the first linkage hole of the support (main body) by shifting the position, The position can be adjusted.

  1 to 7 show a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the vehicle-mounted receiver support is detachably assembled to the back surface of the thin box-shaped vehicle-mounted receiver 5 and has a main body 1 formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape. An appropriate adapter member is selectively linked to the main body 1 and assembled (attached) to each place such as a sun visor, a windshield, and a dashboard.

  In the sun visor mounting, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the clip portion 2 is linked to the main body 1, and the clip portion 2 is sandwiched between the sun visor. And in windshield mounting | wearing and dashboard mounting | wearing, as shown to FIGS. 4-6, the base part 3 is linked with the main body 1, and the structure which affixes the base part 3 on a windshield or a dashboard is comprised. Or, as shown in FIG. 7, the main body 1 is not linked to anything, and is directly pasted to the dashboard.

  The main body 1 is made of a resin material. The outer peripheral edge is integrally raised to form a rib 11 for reinforcement, and a claw piece 12 is formed at a predetermined position on the rotating rib 11. The main body 1 is configured to fit into an opening of a battery storage portion provided on the back surface of the in-vehicle receiver 5 so that the claw pieces 12 are locked and a lid of the battery storage portion is formed.

  The main body 1 is provided with a first linkage hole 13 on one short side and a second linkage hole 14 on the other short side. The clip portion 2 for mounting a sun visor is provided in the first linkage hole 13. Are connected by screwing, and the base part 3 for mounting the windshield and the dashboard is linked to the second connecting hole 14 by screwing. And the back surface of the main body 1 is formed in the substantially flat surface, as shown in FIG.

  The clip portion 2 is formed from a metal plate material by pressing or the like, and has a mounting plate 20 that contacts the back surface of the main body 1. One edge of the mounting plate 20 is folded back and bent, and an extended portion is a mounting plate. The sandwiching plate 21 faces 20. A notch is provided at substantially the center of the sandwiching plate 21 to form a pressing piece 22 protruding toward the mounting plate 20 facing the mounting plate 20, and the mounting plate 20 overlaps with the first linkage hole 13 of the main body 1. A third linkage hole 23 is provided.

  A plurality of third linkage holes 23 are formed in a row toward the bent portion that is continuous with the sandwiching plate 21. This is because the first linkage hole 13 is selectively linked with screws to adjust the position by shifting the positions of the first linkage holes 13. Therefore, the third linkage hole 23 is a bent portion connected to the sandwiching plate 21. It is also possible to form a long hole extending long toward the surface.

  In other words, the clip portion 2 is a leaf spring obtained by folding a band-shaped metal plate material, and sandwiches the front and back of the sun visor between the attachment plate 20 and the sandwich plate 21, and at this time, the sandwiching force that the folded portion appears. Since the pressing force generated by the pressing piece 22 acts, the clip portion 2 is assembled and fixed to the sun visor.

  The in-vehicle receiver 5 often takes a thin box shape for compactness. In this embodiment, a microwave detector is taken as an example, and the microwave detector includes an antenna 50 that receives a microwave, analyzes the radio wave received by the antenna 50, and gives an alarm when receiving the target radio wave. It is a structure that emits.

  In this in-vehicle receiver 5, a display panel is arranged on one short side of the receiver main body 51 as an operation surface, and the antenna 50 is built in the short side portion on the opposite side. The receiver main body 51 has an opening for a battery housing portion, and the main body 1 of the support according to the present invention is fitted into the opening of the battery housing portion to serve as a lid. Here, the main body 1 of the support tool also serves as the lid of the battery housing portion, but the function of the lid of the battery housing portion is not necessarily required.

  A plate 52 having a short side portion on the antenna 50 side as a rotation axis is connected to the top surface of the receiver main body 51. An angle adjusting screw 53 is provided on the rotating shaft, and the plate 52 can be rotated by loosening the angle adjusting screw 53, and holds the angular position when the angle adjusting screw 53 is tightened. And the plate 52 has the photovoltaic cell 54 on the surface, and incorporates the GPS antenna 55 in the front-end | tip part. The electric power from the solar battery cell 54 is supplied to each circuit of the receiver, and the secondary battery mounted in the battery storage unit is charged. The GPS antenna 55 is configured to receive GPS data and detect the current position in the signal processing unit. Information on the current position is taken into the alarm processing unit and used for alarm control and the like.

(Sun visor installed)
In mounting the sun visor, the clip portion 2 may be linked to the vehicle receiver support (main body 1) by screwing, and the clip portion 2 may be sandwiched between the sun visor. At this time, since the antenna 50 is on the windshield side, it faces the outside of the vehicle without being shielded, and microwaves and the like from the outside of the vehicle can be properly received and notification can be made.

  In this case, since the in-vehicle receiver 5 is upside down, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the plate 52 is pulled out from the receiver main body 51 and rotated so as to be in a posture along the windshield 6. As a result, the surface of the plate 52 faces the windshield surface (outside the vehicle), and the solar cells 54 face upward.

  Therefore, even if the vehicle-mounted receiver 5 is turned upside down, it can receive sunlight properly and can generate power efficiently. And since the GPS antenna 55 is located at the front-end | tip of the plate 52, it exposes without shielding, can receive GPS data appropriately, and can detect the present position in a signal processing part.

  Moreover, since the main body 1 and the clip part 2 are linked by overlapping and screwing the coupling holes 13 and 23, the position on the plane can be adjusted by rotating around the screw shaft. For this reason, the direction of the GPS antenna 55 can be adjusted, and the direction of the display panel of the receiver main body 51 can also be adjusted.

  And since the 3rd connection hole 23 of the clip part 2 forms a plurality in a row or is formed in a long hole, it can link with the 1st connection hole 13 of the main body 1, shifting position, and can perform position adjustment. . For example, FIG. 2 shows a mounting example in a passenger car, and FIG. 3 shows a mounting example in a one-box type car. The installation position of the sun visor 7 is greatly different between a passenger car (FIG. 2) and a one-box type car (FIG. 3) with different inclinations of the windshield 6, and the distance from the upper edge of the windshield 6 is about 100 mm for a passenger car. It is about 60mm for one box type cars. However, according to the present invention, the position of the linkage between the third linkage hole 23 and the first linkage hole 13 can be adjusted. Therefore, even if the vehicle is mounted on a passenger car as shown in FIG. The position can be easily adjusted so that the side projects toward the windshield 6, and the optimum posture and position can be obtained.

  Moreover, since the clip part 2 is formed from a metal plate material, it does not undergo thermal deformation due to direct sunlight in summer or the like, and the pinching force can be expressed stably. In this case, the main body 1 of the support tool has a substantially flat back surface (mounting surface), no protrusions, and the mounting plate 20 of the clip portion 2 is also flat, so that the height is low and can be assembled with the sun visor 7 without a gap. Therefore, there is no feeling of pressure and does not interfere with driving.

(Front glass and dashboard mounted)
In windshield mounting and dashboard mounting, a configuration is adopted in which the base portion 3 shown in FIG. 4 is linked to the main body 1 of the support by screwing. The base 3 is made of a resin material, has a mounting plate 30 facing the mounting target, extends an arm 31 from one edge of the mounting plate 30, and has a connecting shaft 32 and a tip at the tip of the arm 31. The linkage pieces 33 are provided in series. That is, at the tip of the arm 31, the linkage piece 33 is connected to the connection shaft 32 so as to be rotatable around the axis, and the linkage piece 33 is linked to the second linkage hole 14 of the main body 1 so as to be rotatable around the axis. Four linkage holes 34 are provided.

  Although the mounting surface of the mounting plate 30 is formed to be substantially flat, as shown in FIG. 5, a hemispherical projection 35 is mounted on the tip side and a suction cup 36 is mounted on the arm 31 side. It has become. Therefore, when the windshield is mounted, the suction cup 36 may be adsorbed to the inner surface of the windshield, and the mounting plate 30 can be fixed in a stable posture with respect to the windshield surface with the projection 35 on the tip side contacting the glass surface. . These protrusions 35 and suction cups 36 are configured to be detachable. As shown in FIG. 6, they are removed when the dashboard is mounted.

  That is, when the windshield is mounted, as shown in FIG. 5, the base portion 3 is linked to the vehicle receiver support (main body 1) by screwing, and the mounting plate 30 of the base portion 3 has a protrusion. 35, the suction cup 36 is attached, and the suction cup 36 is adsorbed on the windshield.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the main body 1 is provided with the first and second linkage holes 13 and 14 at two positions on both ends in the front-rear direction. In particular, when the embodiment is attached to the windshield as shown in FIG. Therefore, the second linkage hole 14 at the tip and the fourth linkage hole 34 of the linkage piece 33 are connected, and the linkage piece 33 can be shortened. As a result, it is advantageous in terms of strength and stability, and the parts can be made smaller. On the other hand, if a portion for connecting to the fourth linkage hole 34 of the coupling piece 33 is provided in the hole on the clip side, the linkage piece needs to be very elongated and becomes unstable.

  In addition, when the dashboard is mounted, as shown in FIG. 6, the base unit 3 is linked to the vehicle-mounted receiver support (main body 1) by screwing, but the mounting plate 30 of the base unit 3 is attached to the mounting plate 30. An adhesive member such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a double-sided adhesive sheet material may be attached to the substantially flat surface without attaching the protrusions 35 and the suction cups 36 and attached to the dashboard.

  Further, when the dashboard is mounted, as shown in FIG. 7, an adhesive member such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a double-sided adhesive sheet material is provided on the substantially flat surface without any connection to the vehicle receiver support (main body 1). You can also paste it directly on the dashboard.

  In this case, since the back surface of the main body 1 of the support tool is formed in a substantially flat surface, an adhesive member such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a double-sided adhesive sheet material can be attached to the surface, and thus can be directly attached to the dashboard. . Since the mounting surface is substantially flat and has no protrusions, the height is low, and it is preferable that it is not obstructed when directly attached to the dashboard.

  As described above, the on-vehicle receiver support (main body 1) is provided with the first linkage hole 13 on one short side and the second linkage hole 14 on the other short side. The unit 3 can be selectively linked. That is, when the sun visor is attached, the clip portion 2 is linked, and the clip portion 2 can be attached by being sandwiched between the sun visor. In addition, when the windshield is mounted and the dashboard is mounted, the base unit 3 is linked, and the base unit 3 can be mounted by assembling it at a corresponding place.

  Therefore, the configuration can be changed for general purposes, and can be appropriately assembled to any of the sun visor, the windshield, and the dashboard. In any case, the main body 1 becomes a common component, and only the adapter member is replaced, which is advantageous in terms of cost.
