Description

本発明は車両部品の取付構造に関し、特に、車両のメータクラスタ等の取り付けに好適に使用できる車両部品の取付構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a mounting structure for vehicle parts, and more particularly to a mounting structure for vehicle parts that can be suitably used for mounting a vehicle meter cluster or the like.

図６には内装パネルとしての車両インストルメントパネル８（インパネ）の運転席側を示し、ステアリングコラムを貫通させる開口８５の上方に位置する取付開口８６内に車両部品たるメータクラスタ９が取り付けられる。この場合の取り付けは、メータクラスタ９の下縁裏面の左右位置に突設した係止突起９１を、取付開口８６下縁の左右位置に設けた係止孔（図示略）に挿入係止し、この状態で、左右の係止突起９１を結ぶ水平軸Ｌ２回りにメータクラスタ９の上縁を旋回させて、当該上縁の左右位置に設けた係止突起９２を、取付開口８６上縁の左右位置に設けた係止孔（図示略）に挿入係止する。   FIG. 6 shows a driver's seat side of a vehicle instrument panel 8 (instrument panel) as an interior panel, and a meter cluster 9 as a vehicle part is mounted in a mounting opening 86 positioned above an opening 85 through which a steering column passes. In this case, the mounting is performed by inserting and engaging the locking protrusions 91 projecting at the left and right positions on the back surface of the lower edge of the meter cluster 9 into the locking holes (not shown) provided at the left and right positions of the lower edge of the mounting opening 86, In this state, the upper edge of the meter cluster 9 is turned around the horizontal axis L2 connecting the left and right locking protrusions 91, and the locking protrusions 92 provided at the left and right positions of the upper edge are moved to the left and right of the upper edge of the mounting opening 86. It is inserted and locked in a locking hole (not shown) provided at the position.

JP2007-55496A

ところで、上記メータクラスタ９の取付構造において、その上縁に設けた係止突起９２の先端９２１は、図７に示すように、メータクラスタ９下縁の水平軸Ｌ（図６）を中心とした円弧軌跡を描いて取付開口８６（図６）上縁の係止孔８３へ進入する。ところが、従来の係止突起９１は基端から先端９２１まで直線状となっているために、進入する過程で往々にして上記先端９２１が係止孔８３の上縁近傍に形成された段付部８４に当接して引っ掛かり、スムーズな係止孔８３への進入が阻害されるという問題があった。   Incidentally, in the mounting structure of the meter cluster 9, the tip 921 of the locking projection 92 provided on the upper edge thereof is centered on the horizontal axis L (FIG. 6) of the lower edge of the meter cluster 9, as shown in FIG. An arc trajectory is drawn to enter the locking hole 83 at the upper edge of the mounting opening 86 (FIG. 6). However, since the conventional locking protrusion 91 is linear from the base end to the tip 921, the step 921 is often formed in the vicinity of the upper edge of the locking hole 83 in the process of entering. There is a problem in that the contact with the hook 84 is caught and the entry into the smooth locking hole 83 is hindered.

そこで、本発明はこのような課題を解決するもので、係止孔への係止突起のスムーズな進入を保証して、車両内装パネルへの車両部品の取付作業の迅速化を図ることができる車両部品の取付構造を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention solves such a problem, and can ensure the smooth entry of the locking projection into the locking hole and speed up the mounting operation of the vehicle component to the vehicle interior panel. An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for vehicle parts.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明では、車両部品（１）の一端を車両の内装パネル（８）に係止してこの係止部（３）を中心に車両部品（１）を旋回させてその他端に設けた係止突起（５）を内装パネル（８）の係止孔（８３）に挿入係止するようにし、かつ、係止突起（５）の先端（５５）を、車両部品（１）の旋回方向でその旋回軌跡に対し内方へ屈曲させたことを特徴としている。   In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, one end of the vehicle component (1) is locked to the interior panel (8) of the vehicle, and the vehicle component (1) is turned around the locking portion (3). The locking projection (5) provided at the other end is inserted and locked into the locking hole (83) of the interior panel (8), and the tip (55) of the locking projection (5) is connected to the vehicle part. It is characterized in that it is bent inward with respect to the turning trajectory in the turning direction of (1).

本発明において、係止突起の先端部は係止部を中心とした旋回軌跡に沿って移動するが、係止突起は先端を、車両部品の旋回方向で上記旋回軌跡に対し内方へ屈曲させてあるから、係止孔近傍の内装パネルに段付部等があっても、屈曲した先端の斜面によって案内されて、段付部に引っ掛かることなくスムーズに係止孔へ進入させられる。   In the present invention, the front end of the locking projection moves along a turning trajectory centered on the locking portion, but the locking projection causes the front end to bend inward with respect to the turning trajectory in the turning direction of the vehicle component. Therefore, even if the interior panel in the vicinity of the locking hole has a stepped portion or the like, it is guided by the inclined surface of the bent tip and smoothly enters the locking hole without being caught by the stepped portion.

なお、上記カッコ内の符号は、後述する実施形態に記載の具体的手段との対応関係を示すものである。   In addition, the code | symbol in the said parenthesis shows the correspondence with the specific means as described in embodiment mentioned later.

以上のように、本発明の車両部品の取付構造によれば、係止孔への係止突起のスムーズな進入を保証することにより、車両内装パネルへの車両部品の取付作業の迅速化を図ることができる。   As described above, according to the vehicle component mounting structure of the present invention, it is possible to speed up the mounting operation of the vehicle component to the vehicle interior panel by ensuring the smooth entry of the locking projection into the locking hole. be able to.

図１には車両部品としてのメータクラスタの正面図を示す。メータクラスタ１は樹脂製の枠状体で、直線状の下辺１１と、略逆Ｕ字状の上辺１２を備えている。なお、下辺１１の中央部は下方へ拡大する幅広部１３となっている。このようなメータクラスタ１は、幅広部１３の両端部背面に形成した係止突起２、下辺１１の両端部背面に形成した係止突起３、略逆Ｕ字状の上辺１２の左右下端部背面に形成した係止突起４、上辺１２の左右中間部背面に形成した係止突起５、および上辺１２の頂部中央と左右位置の背面に形成した係止突起６，７を、それぞれ内装パネルとしてのインパネ８（図６）の取付開口８６周縁の係止孔に挿入係止することによってインパネに装着される。    FIG. 1 shows a front view of a meter cluster as a vehicle component. The meter cluster 1 is a resin frame, and includes a linear lower side 11 and a substantially inverted U-shaped upper side 12. The central portion of the lower side 11 is a wide portion 13 that expands downward. Such a meter cluster 1 includes a locking projection 2 formed on the back of both ends of the wide portion 13, a locking projection 3 formed on the back of both ends of the lower side 11, and rear surfaces of the left and right lower ends of the substantially inverted U-shaped upper side 12. The locking projections 4 formed on the back side, the locking projections 5 formed on the back of the middle left and right sides of the upper side 12, and the locking projections 6 and 7 formed on the center of the top of the top side 12 and the back of the left and right positions are used as interior panels. The instrument panel 8 (FIG. 6) is attached to the instrument panel by being inserted and locked in the locking hole at the periphery of the mounting opening 86.

図２にはメータクラスタ１の係止突起３，４，５をそれぞれインパネ８の係止孔８１，８２，８３に挿入係止した状態を示す。また、図３、図４には係止突起３、４の先端部の平面図と側面図をそれぞれ示し、図５には係止突起５の先端部の側面図と平面図を示す。係止突起３，４，５はいずれも先端部にリブ３１，４１，５１で補強された平板部３２，４２，５２を有しており、これら平板部３２，４２，５２には平行に延びる長孔３３，４３，５３が形成されてこれら長孔３３，４３，５３間の板面は凹陥変形可能となっている。そしてこの凹陥変形可能な板面に、突出する係合凸部３４，４４，５４が形成されている。    FIG. 2 shows a state in which the locking projections 3, 4 and 5 of the meter cluster 1 are inserted and locked in the locking holes 81, 82 and 83 of the instrument panel 8, respectively. 3 and 4 show a plan view and a side view of the distal end portion of the locking projections 3 and 4, respectively, and FIG. 5 shows a side view and a plan view of the distal end portion of the locking projection 5. Each of the locking projections 3, 4, 5 has flat plate portions 32, 42, 52 reinforced by ribs 31, 41, 51 at the tip portion, and extends parallel to these flat plate portions 32, 42, 52. The long holes 33, 43, 53 are formed, and the plate surface between the long holes 33, 43, 53 can be deformed in a recessed manner. Further, projecting engaging convex portions 34, 44, 54 are formed on the plate surface that can be deformed into the concave.

各係合凸部３４，４４，５４は先端方向に位置する一側面が緩やかで、他側面が急峻な斜面を有する山形状となっている。ここで、係止突起５（図５）はその先端５５が下方へ屈曲させてある。この屈曲方向は、後述するようにメータクラスタ１を取り付ける際の当該メータクラスタ１の旋回方向で当該旋回軌跡に対し内方となる方向としてある。    Each of the engaging projections 34, 44, 54 has a mountain shape in which one side surface located in the distal direction is gentle and the other side surface has a steep slope. Here, the locking projection 5 (FIG. 5) has a tip 55 bent downward. The bending direction is a direction inward of the turning trajectory in the turning direction of the meter cluster 1 when the meter cluster 1 is attached as will be described later.

係止突起３，４，５を係止孔８１，８２，８３に挿入すると、係止突起３，４，５先端部の上記係合凸部３４，４４，５４が、一旦後退した後、再び進出してその急峻な側面が係止孔８１，８２，８３の周縁に係合し、これによってメータクラスタ１がインパネ８に取り付けられる。なお、他の係止突起２，６，７についても同様である。    When the locking projections 3, 4, 5 are inserted into the locking holes 81, 82, 83, the engaging projections 34, 44, 54 at the distal ends of the locking projections 3, 4, 5 once retreat, The steep side faces and engages with the peripheral edges of the locking holes 81, 82, 83, whereby the meter cluster 1 is attached to the instrument panel 8. The same applies to the other locking projections 2, 6, and 7.

インパネ８への取り付けに際しては、最初にメータクラスタ１の左右の係止突起３をそれぞれインパネ８の係止孔８１に挿入係止し、左右の係止突起３（係止孔８１）を結ぶ水平軸Ｌ１（図１）を中心にメータクラスタ１の上縁をインパネ８に向けて旋回させて、メータクラスタ１の左右の係止突起５の先端部を、インパネ８の左右の係止孔８３に挿入係止する。この際に、係止突起５の先端部は上記水平軸Ｌ１を中心とした旋回軌跡に沿って移動するが、本実施形態では係止突起５はその先端５５を、メータクラスタ１の旋回方向で上記旋回軌跡に対し内方へ屈曲させてあるから、係止孔８３の上縁近傍に形成されたインパネ８の段付部８４に当接しても屈曲した先端５５の斜面によって案内されて、段付部８４に引っ掛かることなくスムーズに係止孔８３へ進入させられる。なお、上記実施形態ではメータクラスタをインパネに取り付ける場合について説明したが、本発明は車両内装パネルへの種々の車両部品の取り付けに広く適用できるものである。    When mounting to the instrument panel 8, the left and right locking projections 3 of the meter cluster 1 are first inserted and locked in the locking holes 81 of the instrument panel 8, respectively, and the horizontal locking projections 3 (locking holes 81) are connected horizontally. The upper edge of the meter cluster 1 is pivoted toward the instrument panel 8 around the axis L1 (FIG. 1), and the tip ends of the left and right locking projections 5 of the meter cluster 1 are inserted into the left and right locking holes 83 of the instrument panel 8. Insert and lock. At this time, the tip of the locking projection 5 moves along a turning trajectory centered on the horizontal axis L1. In this embodiment, the locking projection 5 moves its tip 55 in the turning direction of the meter cluster 1. Since it is bent inward with respect to the turning trajectory, it is guided by the inclined surface of the bent tip 55 even if it comes into contact with the stepped portion 84 of the instrument panel 8 formed in the vicinity of the upper edge of the locking hole 83. It is possible to smoothly enter the locking hole 83 without being caught by the attaching portion 84. In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where a meter cluster was attached to an instrument panel, this invention is widely applicable to attachment of the various vehicle components to a vehicle interior panel.
