The front surface of the insertion portion 11 is a vibration surface that outputs ultrasonic waves. A connector 13 is provided on the end surface of the ultrasonic sensor module 10 opposite to the insertion portion 11.

アタッチメント２０は、例えば樹脂等で形成されており、超音波センサモジュール１０を内側に収容する筒状部２１と、筒状部２１の外周面に突設されてバンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃの裏面に接着される第１の腕部２２および第２の腕部２５と、筒状部２１の一端部において内側に突出して超音波センサモジュール１０をあて止めするフランジ部２８とを有する。
この第１の腕部２２の、バンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃの裏面に向かい合う面には、曲率半径Ａの接着面２３Ａと、曲率半径Ｂの接着面２３Ｂと、曲率半径Ｃの接着面２３Ｃとが形成されている。接着面２３Ａ〜２３Ｃには、両面テープ２４Ａ〜２４Ｃが接着されている。
一方、第２の腕部２５は、バンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃの裏面に向かい合う平面状の接着面２６を有し、接着面２６には両面テープ２７が接着されている。 The attachment 20 is formed of, for example, a resin, and the tubular portion 21 that accommodates the ultrasonic sensor module 10 on the inside, and is protruded from the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 21 and bonded to the back surfaces of the bumpers 1A to 1C. A first arm portion 22 and a second arm portion 25, and a flange portion 28 that protrudes inwardly at one end portion of the tubular portion 21 and stops the ultrasonic sensor module 10 against it.
An adhesive surface 23A having a radius of curvature A, an adhesive surface 23B having a radius of curvature B, and an adhesive surface 23C having a radius of curvature C are formed on the surface of the first arm portion 22 facing the back surfaces of the bumpers 1A to 1C. ing.

On the other hand, the second arm portion 25 has a flat adhesive surface 26 facing the back surfaces of the bumpers 1 </ b> A to 1 </ b> C, and a double-sided tape 27 is bonded to the adhesive surface 26.

なお、図示例では、第１の腕部２２と第２の腕部２５を１本ずつ形成したが、本数はこれに限定されるものではない。また、図２に示すように、第１の腕部２２と第２の腕部２５とを、超音波センサモジュール１０を間に挟んで一直線上に配置したが、角度をつけて配置してもよい。また、第１の腕部２２に３種類の曲率半径の接着面２３Ａ〜２３Ｃを形成したが、少なくとも２種類以上の曲率半径の接着面を形成すればよい。
また、図１および図２では、接着面２３Ａ〜２３Ｃすべてに両面テープ２４Ａ〜２４Ｃを接着した状態を示したが、取り付け対象のバンパの曲率半径に合う接着面のみに両面テープを接着すればよい。両面テープ２４Ａ〜２４Ｃ，２７に代えて、接着剤などを塗布してもよい。 In the illustrated example, the first arm portion 22 and the second arm portion 25 are formed one by one, but the number is not limited to this. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the first arm portion 22 and the second arm portion 25 are arranged on a straight line with the ultrasonic sensor module 10 interposed therebetween, but may be arranged at an angle. Good. Moreover, although the adhesive surfaces 23A-23C of three types of curvature radii were formed in the 1st arm part 22, what is necessary is just to form the adhesive surface of at least two types of curvature radii.
1 and 2 show a state in which the double-sided tapes 24A to 24C are bonded to all of the bonding surfaces 23A to 23C, but the double-sided tape may be bonded only to the bonding surface that matches the curvature radius of the bumper to be attached. . Instead of the double-sided tapes 24A to 24C, 27, an adhesive or the like may be applied.

ホルダ３０は、例えばシリコン等で形成された筒状部材であり、超音波センサモジュール１０の挿入部１１に外装される。   The holder 30 is a cylindrical member made of, for example, silicon, and is mounted on the insertion portion 11 of the ultrasonic sensor module 10.

次に、車両のバンパ１Ａに対する超音波センサモジュール１０の取り付け方法について説明する。まず、超音波センサモジュール１０をアタッチメント２０の筒状部２１に挿入すると共に、超音波センサモジュール１０の挿入部１１にホルダ３０を装着して、超音波センサモジュール１０とアタッチメント２０とホルダ３０とを一体化する。続いて、ホルダ３０が装着された状態の挿入部１１をバンパ１Ａの挿入穴２へ圧入し、ホルダ３０の摩擦力で超音波センサモジュール１０を保持する。さらに、バンパ１Ａの裏面に、このバンパ１Ａと曲率半径が略同じ第１の腕部２２の接着面２３Ａを両面テープ２４Ａで接着すると共に、第２の腕部２５の接着面２６を両面テープ２７で接着して、アタッチメント２０を固定する。   Next, a method for attaching the ultrasonic sensor module 10 to the vehicle bumper 1A will be described. First, the ultrasonic sensor module 10 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 21 of the attachment 20, and the holder 30 is attached to the insertion portion 11 of the ultrasonic sensor module 10, so that the ultrasonic sensor module 10, the attachment 20, and the holder 30 are attached. Integrate. Subsequently, the insertion portion 11 with the holder 30 attached is press-fitted into the insertion hole 2 of the bumper 1 </ b> A, and the ultrasonic sensor module 10 is held by the frictional force of the holder 30. Furthermore, the adhesive surface 23A of the first arm portion 22 having substantially the same radius of curvature as the bumper 1A is adhered to the back surface of the bumper 1A with a double-sided tape 24A, and the adhesive surface 26 of the second arm portion 25 is adhered to the double-sided tape 27. To fix the attachment 20.

あるいは、ホルダ３０を、挿入部１１ではなく、バンパ１Ａの挿入穴２に先に装着してもよい。その場合、超音波センサモジュール１０にアタッチメント２０を装着し、超音波センサモジュール１０とアタッチメント２０とを一体化する。続いて、バンパ１Ａの挿入穴２にホルダ３０を挿入し、この状態の挿入穴２に、超音波センサモジュール１０の挿入部１１を圧入し、ホルダ３０の摩擦力で超音波センサモジュール１０を保持する。さらに、バンパ１Ａの裏面に両面テープ２４Ａ，２７をそれぞれ接着して、アタッチメント２０を固定する。   Alternatively, the holder 30 may be first attached to the insertion hole 2 of the bumper 1 </ b> A instead of the insertion portion 11. In that case, the attachment 20 is attached to the ultrasonic sensor module 10, and the ultrasonic sensor module 10 and the attachment 20 are integrated. Subsequently, the holder 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 2 of the bumper 1 </ b> A, the insertion portion 11 of the ultrasonic sensor module 10 is press-fitted into the insertion hole 2 in this state, and the ultrasonic sensor module 10 is held by the frictional force of the holder 30. To do. Further, the double-sided tapes 24A and 27 are respectively bonded to the back surface of the bumper 1A to fix the attachment 20.

あるいは、アタッチメント２０を装着する前に、超音波センサモジュール１０を挿入穴２に圧入してもよい。その場合、超音波センサモジュール１０の挿入部１１をバンパ１Ａの挿入穴２へ圧入し、ホルダ３０の摩擦力で超音波センサモジュール１０を保持した状態で、アタッチメント２０を超音波センサモジュール１０に装着し、バンパ１Ａの裏面に両面テープ２４Ａ，２７をそれぞれ接着してアタッチメント２０を固定する。   Alternatively, the ultrasonic sensor module 10 may be pressed into the insertion hole 2 before mounting the attachment 20. In that case, the attachment 20 is attached to the ultrasonic sensor module 10 in a state where the ultrasonic sensor module 10 is held by the friction force of the holder 30 by pressing the insertion portion 11 of the ultrasonic sensor module 10 into the insertion hole 2 of the bumper 1A. Then, the double-sided tape 24A, 27 is bonded to the back surface of the bumper 1A to fix the attachment 20.

なお、超音波センサモジュール１０をバンパ１Ｂに取り付ける場合には、バンパ１Ｂの裏面に、このバンパ１Ｂと曲率半径が略同じ第１の腕部２２の接着面２３Ｂを両面テープ２４Ｂで接着すると共に、第２の腕部２５の接着面２６を両面テープ２７で接着して、アタッチメント２０を固定する。   In addition, when attaching the ultrasonic sensor module 10 to the bumper 1B, the adhesive surface 23B of the first arm 22 having substantially the same radius of curvature as the bumper 1B is adhered to the back surface of the bumper 1B with a double-sided tape 24B. The attachment surface 26 of the second arm portion 25 is adhered with a double-sided tape 27 to fix the attachment 20.

超音波センサモジュール１０をバンパ１Ｃに取り付ける場合には、バンパ１Ｃの裏面に、このバンパ１Ｃと曲率半径が略同じ第１の腕部２２の接着面２３Ｃを両面テープ２４Ｃで接着すると共に、第２の腕部２５の接着面２６を両面テープ２７で接着して、アタッチメント２０を固定する。   When the ultrasonic sensor module 10 is attached to the bumper 1C, the adhesive surface 23C of the first arm portion 22 having substantially the same radius of curvature as the bumper 1C is adhered to the back surface of the bumper 1C with a double-sided tape 24C. The attachment surface 26 of the arm portion 25 is bonded with a double-sided tape 27 to fix the attachment 20.

このように、バンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃの形状が変わっても、両面テープ２４Ａ〜２４Ｃの貼り付け位置を変えるのみで、第１の腕部２２の接着面２３Ａ〜２３Ｃのいずれかを接着することができる。従って、バンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃごとにアタッチメント２０を用意する必要がなく、コストを低減できる。
加えて、第１の腕部２２の接着面２３Ａ〜２３Ｃに接着する両面テープ２４Ａ〜２４Ｃの厚みを変更すれば、さらに多くのバンパ形状に対応することが可能である。 As described above, even if the shapes of the bumpers 1A to 1C are changed, any one of the bonding surfaces 23A to 23C of the first arm portion 22 can be bonded only by changing the attaching position of the double-sided tapes 24A to 24C. . Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare the attachment 20 for each of the bumpers 1A to 1C, and the cost can be reduced.
In addition, if the thicknesses of the double-sided tapes 24A to 24C to be bonded to the bonding surfaces 23A to 23C of the first arm portion 22 are changed, it is possible to cope with more bumper shapes.

以上より、実施の形態１によれば、アタッチメント２０は、内側に超音波センサモジュール１０を収容して挿入部１１をバンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃの裏面から挿入穴２に挿入して掛止部１２を挿入穴２の縁に掛止した状態に保持する筒状部２１と、筒状部２１の外周面に突設されてバンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃの裏面に接着される第１の腕部２２および第２の腕部２５とを備え、第１の腕部２２は、バンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃの裏面に向かい合う面が曲率半径の異なる複数の接着面２３Ａ〜２３Ｃで構成されている。このように、第１の腕部２２の曲率半径を数段階に変化させることで、アタッチメント２０に汎用性を持たせ、形状の異なるバンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃに超音波センサモジュール１０を取り付けることができる。   As described above, according to the first embodiment, the attachment 20 accommodates the ultrasonic sensor module 10 inside, inserts the insertion portion 11 into the insertion hole 2 from the back surface of the bumpers 1A to 1C, and inserts the latching portion 12. A cylindrical portion 21 that is held in a state of being hooked on an edge of the hole 2, a first arm portion 22 that protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 21 and is bonded to the back surfaces of the bumpers 1 </ b> A to 1 </ b> C, and a second arm portion 22. The first arm portion 22 includes a plurality of bonding surfaces 23A to 23C having different curvature radii on the surfaces facing the back surfaces of the bumpers 1A to 1C. In this way, by changing the curvature radius of the first arm portion 22 in several stages, the attachment 20 can be provided with versatility, and the ultrasonic sensor module 10 can be attached to the bumpers 1A to 1C having different shapes.

実施の形態２．
図３は、実施の形態２に係る超音波センサモジュール１０の取り付け構造を示す断面図であり、図４はその平面図である。この図３は、図４のＢＢ線に沿ってアタッチメント２０、ホルダ３０、およびバンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃを切断した断面を示している。なお、図３および図４において、図１および図２と同一または相当の部分については同一の符号を付し説明を省略する。 Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a mounting structure of the ultrasonic sensor module 10 according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a plan view thereof. FIG. 3 shows a cross section in which the attachment 20, the holder 30, and the bumpers 1A to 1C are cut along the line BB in FIG. 3 and 4, the same or corresponding parts as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

図３および図４の例では、実線で示すバンパ１Ａが車両上下方向において曲率半径Ａの曲面形状、一点鎖線で示すバンパ１Ｂは曲率半径Ｂの曲面形状、二点鎖線で示すバンパ１Ｃは曲率半径Ｃの曲面形状を有する。この場合にも、上記実施の形態１と同様にアタッチメント２０とホルダ３０を使用して超音波センサモジュール１０を取り付ければよく、アタッチメント２０の第１の腕部２２を車両下部のバンパ曲面に沿わせて接着可能である。   3 and 4, the bumper 1A indicated by a solid line is a curved surface shape having a radius of curvature A in the vehicle vertical direction, the bumper 1B indicated by a one-dot chain line is a curved shape having a radius of curvature B, and the bumper 1C indicated by a two-dot chain line is a radius of curvature. C curved surface shape. Also in this case, the ultrasonic sensor module 10 may be attached using the attachment 20 and the holder 30 as in the first embodiment, and the first arm portion 22 of the attachment 20 is placed along the bumper curved surface at the lower part of the vehicle. And can be bonded.

さらに、実施の形態２では、アタッチメント２０と超音波センサモジュール１０の相対回転を規制する位置決め用の凹凸部を設けて、バンパに対する超音波センサモジュール１０の取り付け角度を変えることなく、アタッチメント２０のみを回転させることができるようにする。具体的には、アタッチメント２０のフランジ部２８の内周縁を４５度おきに切り欠いて複数の位置決め用凹部２９を形成する。一方、超音波センサモジュール１０のコネクタ１３側の端面には、位置決め用凹部２９それぞれに係合する複数の位置決め用凸部１４を４５度おきに突設する。   Further, in the second embodiment, a positioning unevenness portion that restricts the relative rotation between the attachment 20 and the ultrasonic sensor module 10 is provided, and only the attachment 20 is mounted without changing the mounting angle of the ultrasonic sensor module 10 with respect to the bumper. It can be rotated. Specifically, the inner peripheral edge of the flange portion 28 of the attachment 20 is cut out every 45 degrees to form a plurality of positioning recesses 29. On the other hand, on the end face of the ultrasonic sensor module 10 on the connector 13 side, a plurality of positioning convex portions 14 that engage with the positioning concave portions 29 are provided at intervals of 45 degrees.

例えば配線の都合上、超音波センサモジュール１０のコネクタ１３を、図４のように車両上下方向に垂直な方向に向けた状態でバンパ１Ａの裏面に固定する必要がある場合、コネクタ１３を車両上下方向に垂直な方向に向けた状態で位置決め用凹部２９と位置決め用凸部１４を係合して位置決めする。これにより、例えば図５の平面図に示すように、アタッチメント２０のバンパ１Ａに対する取り付け角度を車両上下方向以外にする場合に、コネクタ１３を車両上下方向に垂直な方向に向けた状態で、超音波センサモジュール１０とアタッチメント２０の位置決めができ、バンパ１Ａに対する超音波センサモジュール１０の取り付け角度を変えることなく、アタッチメント２０のみを回転させることができる。   For example, when it is necessary to fix the connector 13 of the ultrasonic sensor module 10 to the back surface of the bumper 1A in a state perpendicular to the vehicle vertical direction as shown in FIG. The positioning concave portion 29 and the positioning convex portion 14 are engaged and positioned in a state in which the direction is perpendicular to the direction. As a result, for example, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 5, when the attachment angle of the attachment 20 to the bumper 1 </ b> A is other than the vehicle vertical direction, the The sensor module 10 and the attachment 20 can be positioned, and only the attachment 20 can be rotated without changing the attachment angle of the ultrasonic sensor module 10 to the bumper 1A.

以上より、実施の形態２によれば、アタッチメント２０の筒状部２１は、超音波センサモジュール１０の挿入部１１とは反対の端面に設けられた複数の位置決め用凸部１４に係合して超音波センサモジュール１０とアタッチメント２０の相対回転を規制する、複数の位置決め用凹部２９を有する構成にした。このため、バンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃに対する超音波センサモジュール１０の取り付け角度を変えることなく、アタッチメント２０のみを回転させてバンパ１Ａ〜１Ｃの形状に合わせて第１の腕部２２を接着できる。   As described above, according to the second embodiment, the cylindrical portion 21 of the attachment 20 is engaged with the plurality of positioning convex portions 14 provided on the end surface opposite to the insertion portion 11 of the ultrasonic sensor module 10. It was set as the structure which has the several recessed part 29 for positioning which controls the relative rotation of the ultrasonic sensor module 10 and the attachment 20. FIG. For this reason, without changing the attachment angle of the ultrasonic sensor module 10 with respect to the bumpers 1A to 1C, only the attachment 20 can be rotated and the first arm portion 22 can be bonded to match the shape of the bumpers 1A to 1C.

なお、図３〜図５の例では、位置決め用凸部１４と位置決め用凹部２９を４５度間隔に配置したので、超音波センサモジュール１０に対してアタッチメント２０を４５度間隔で位置決め可能になっているが、これ以外の角度間隔で位置決め用凸部１４と位置決め用凹部２９を配置してもよい。
また、超音波センサモジュール１０に位置決め用凸部１４を、アタッチメント２０に位置決め用凹部２９を設けたが、反対に、超音波センサモジュール１０に位置決め用凹部を、アタッチメント２０に位置決め用凸部を設けてもよい。 3 to 5, the positioning convex portions 14 and the positioning concave portions 29 are arranged at intervals of 45 degrees, so that the attachment 20 can be positioned with respect to the ultrasonic sensor module 10 at intervals of 45 degrees.
