Description

本発明は、走行時の空気抵抗を低減できる自動車のカメラ支持構造に関する。   The present invention relates to an automobile camera support structure that can reduce air resistance during travel.

自動車の走行安全性を高めるために車両周辺の情報を撮像するカメラを車体に配置することが増えてきている（特許文献１参照）。その他の部品の仕様も多様化してきており、カメラを配置するにしてもスペース確保が難しくなってきている。その上、カメラ性能を発揮するには、死角が少なく、多方向の情報を入手することが出来るような位置への配置が求められる。
その点において、フロントピラー上部は、側部を見渡すことが可能であり、かつ車両の前方、後方の情報まで入手が出来る位置であるため、期待が高まる。一方で、そのフロントピラー上部へカメラを配置すると、車体ボデー(ドアパネルやサイドボデーパネル)から大きく張り出すことになる。この部分でカメラを支持しようとすると、ただでさえ、カメラ重量の支持が必要な上に、走行時には直に受ける風や、車体側部を這い上がってくる風の空気抵抗などに耐えられるだけの強度面の改善が求められる。
特に、ピラー上部では、フロント部(エンジンルーム側)から側部に流れた空気がピラーに沿って上昇する渦流となって、パネルを沿うように昇ってくるため（特許文献２参照）、パネル面近傍ではこれに耐える支持強度が求められる。 In order to improve the driving safety of automobiles, a camera for imaging information around the vehicle is increasingly disposed on the vehicle body (see Patent Document 1). The specifications of other parts are also diversifying, and it is difficult to secure space even if cameras are arranged. In addition, in order to exhibit the camera performance, it is required to be arranged at a position where there are few blind spots and multi-directional information can be obtained.
In this respect, the upper part of the front pillar can be looked over at the side and can be obtained up to the front and rear information of the vehicle, so that expectations are high. On the other hand, if the camera is arranged above the front pillar, it will overhang from the vehicle body (door panel or side body panel). If you try to support the camera in this part, you just need to support the weight of the camera, and it can withstand the air resistance of the wind that you receive directly when driving and the wind that climbs up the side of the car body Improvement in strength is required.
In particular, at the upper part of the pillar, the air flowing from the front part (engine room side) to the side part becomes a vortex that rises along the pillar and rises along the panel (see Patent Document 2). Support strength that can withstand this is required in the vicinity.

特開２０１５−２６１７１号公報Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-26171 特開２０１５−７７９１８号公報Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-77918

カメラで車両周辺の情報を読み取る上では、広域の情報を入手できることが好ましい。その点で、カメラ位置が高い位置にあり、かつ、撮像するにあたって視界を遮る影響を受けにくいフロントピラー上部は最適な部分と言える。カメラで車両周辺の情報を読み取る上では、広域の情報を入手できることが好ましい。その点で、カメラ位置が高い位置にあり、かつ、撮像するにあたって視界を遮る影響を受けにくいフロントピラー上部は最適な部分と言える。カメラは小型化・軽量化が進んでいるため、その重量や大きさが影響することは無くなってきている。しかし、カメラを支えることが出来ることは支持形状において必須条件であると共に、ピラー部(車両側部)で支持形状から側方に張り出して形状があると、その形状には、走行時の風の影響を受ける。更に、ピラー上部では、フロント(エンジンルーム)から側方に流れた空気が渦流となってピラー部を上昇してくる現象も起きる。これは、側方に流れた時に渦流が発生し、その渦流は面を沿うことで起きるが、特許文献２などでもその現象は説明されており、ピラー上部にカメラの支持形状を設ける場合には、この渦流に耐え、かつ渦流を弱めるようになると更に良いとされている。 特許文献１のように、車両上部に突出して設けられるカメラ支持構造では、カメラ部分がピラーに沿って上昇する風の空気抵抗を受けたり、直接、風を受けたりするため、支持状態が安定しない。   In reading information around the vehicle with a camera, it is preferable that information on a wide area can be obtained. In that respect, the upper part of the front pillar which is at a high camera position and is not easily affected by the field of view when taking an image can be said to be an optimal part. In reading information around the vehicle with a camera, it is preferable that information on a wide area can be obtained. In that respect, the upper part of the front pillar which is at a high camera position and is not easily affected by the field of view when taking an image can be said to be an optimal part. Cameras are becoming smaller and lighter, so their weight and size are no longer affected. However, being able to support the camera is an indispensable condition for the support shape, and if there is a shape that protrudes sideways from the support shape at the pillar part (vehicle side part), the shape will be affected by the wind during driving. to be influenced. Furthermore, in the upper part of the pillar, a phenomenon in which the air flowing from the front (engine room) to the side becomes a vortex and rises up the pillar part also occurs. This occurs when the vortex flows sideways, and the vortex flows along the surface. However, this phenomenon is also described in Patent Document 2 and the like. It is said that it is better to endure this vortex and weaken the vortex. As in Patent Document 1, in the camera support structure that protrudes from the upper part of the vehicle, the camera part receives the air resistance of the wind rising along the pillar or receives the wind directly, so the support state is not stable. .

本発明は、フロントピラー部に沿って這い上がってきた大きな渦流の空気をカメラ支持脚部の基端部で分断し、渦流を弱めることで空気抵抗を低減できるようにした自動車のカメラ支持構造を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention provides a camera support structure for an automobile in which air resistance can be reduced by dividing large vortex air that has risen along the front pillar portion at the base end of the camera support leg to weaken the vortex flow. The purpose is to provide.

本発明は、上記課題を解決するため、フロントピラー上部に配置されるカメラ本体部を支持するカメラ支持脚部が、車体側面パネル部に取り付けられているカメラ支持構造において、前記カメラ支持脚部の基端部を車体側方から見て、上方に向かう面と後方に向かう面の前端交叉部が前記カメラ支持脚部の前端と最下端の位置にあることにある。
また、本発明は、前記カメラ支持脚部の前記車体側面パネル部に対する取付け部断面形状が車体後方に向けて上方に傾斜する面を含む略平行四辺形もしくは略三角形形状に形成されてなることにある。
さらに、本発明は、前記カメラ支持脚部の外形が、上面視で、車体外側に向かうにしたがって後方に湾曲する曲線形状に形成されており、前記カメラ支持脚部の後方に間隔を置いて、前記カメラ本体部と車体側面パネル部とを連結する支持サポート部が設けられていることにある。
またさらに、本発明は、前記支持サポート部の前面部および後面部が上方に向かうにしたがって後方に向けて傾斜して構成され、側面視の断面形状が略平行四辺形を形成してなることにある。 In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a camera support structure in which a camera support leg that supports a camera main body disposed at an upper portion of a front pillar is attached to a vehicle body side panel. When the base end portion is viewed from the side of the vehicle body, the front end crossing portion of the upper surface and the rear surface is located at the front end and the lowermost position of the camera support leg.
In the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the mounting portion of the camera support leg portion with respect to the vehicle body side panel portion is formed in a substantially parallelogram shape or a substantially triangular shape including a surface inclined upward toward the rear of the vehicle body. is there.
Further, in the present invention, the outer shape of the camera support leg portion is formed in a curved shape that curves backward as it goes to the outside of the vehicle body in a top view, with an interval behind the camera support leg portion, A support support part for connecting the camera body part and the vehicle body side panel part is provided.
Still further, the present invention is configured such that the front surface portion and the rear surface portion of the support support portion are inclined to the rear as they go upward, and the cross-sectional shape in a side view forms a substantially parallelogram. is there.

本発明によれば、以下の効果を奏する。
フロントピラーに沿って這い上がってきた大きな渦流の空気をカメラ支持脚部の根元部で分断し、渦流を弱めることで空気抵抗を低減することができる。
カメラ支持脚部の車体側面パネル部との取付け部断面形状が車体後方に向けて上方に傾斜する面を含む略平行四辺形もしくは略三角形形状に形成されていることから、カメラ支持脚部の基端部に当たった渦流の空気を後方にスムーズに流すことで、空気抵抗の低減を促進する。
また、カメラ支持脚部の下端が後方まで伸びていないことで、カメラの下方視界の妨害とならない。
カメラ支持脚部の基端部(パネル面沿い)に起こる渦流を外側に受け流すことで空気抵抗の低減を促進する。
カメラ支持脚部の外形が、上面視で、車体外側に向かうにしたがって後方に湾曲した曲線形状に形成されており、カメラ支持脚部の後方に湾曲した形状は後方に倒れ込みやすくなるが、カメラ支持脚部の後方に、前記カメラ本体部と車体側面パネル部とを連結する支持サポート部が設けられているので、支持サポート部が突っ張り棒の役割を果たし、支持強度を高めることができる。
支持サポート部の前面部および後面部が上方に向かうにしたがって後方に向けて傾斜して構成され、側面視の断面形状が略平行四辺形を形成しているので、支持サポート部の根元部もパネル面沿いの渦流の影響を受けるが、それも分断し、こちらでも空気抵抗の低減を図ることが出来る。 The present invention has the following effects.
Air resistance can be reduced by dividing the large vortex air that has risen along the front pillar at the base of the camera support leg and weakening the vortex.
Since the cross-sectional shape of the attachment portion of the camera support leg to the side panel of the vehicle body is formed in a substantially parallelogram or a substantially triangular shape including a surface inclined upward toward the rear of the vehicle body, the base of the camera support leg is The air resistance is promoted by smoothly flowing the vortex air that hits the end to the rear.
Further, since the lower end of the camera support leg portion does not extend to the rear, it does not interfere with the downward view of the camera.
Air resistance is reduced by receiving the vortex generated at the base end of the camera support leg (along the panel surface) outside.
The outer shape of the camera support leg is formed in a curved shape that curves backward as it goes to the outside of the vehicle body when viewed from above, and the shape that curves backward on the camera support leg tends to fall backward, but the camera support Since the support support part which connects the said camera main-body part and a vehicle body side surface panel part is provided in the back of the leg part, a support support part can play the role of a tension rod and can improve support strength.
Since the front and rear surfaces of the support support section are inclined toward the rear as they go upward, and the cross-sectional shape in a side view forms a substantially parallelogram, the base portion of the support support section is also a panel. Although it is affected by the eddy current along the surface, it can also be divided to reduce air resistance.

以下本発明の実施の形態を、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
図１の自動車では、ミニバン等の車高が高い車のフロントピラー上部にカメラを備えた実施の形態を示したものである。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
The automobile shown in FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which a camera is provided on the upper part of a front pillar of a car such as a minivan having a high vehicle height.

図１において、車体１の前部、フロントピラー部２の上部位置には、車体１の左側側方に向けて延出されたサイドミラーカメラ３が設けられている。図１の実施例では、フロントドア４の上端部のパネル部分４ａに接着等により取り付けられている。
このサイドミラーカメラ３は、図２ないし図５に示すように、カメラ本体部５の後面部に後方視界用カメラ６、下面部に下方視界用カメラ７を設けたもので、カメラ支持脚部８と支持サポート部９で支持されている。カメラ支持脚部８と支持サポート部９は、樹脂成形されたもので、カメラ本体部５と一体成形されている。 In FIG. 1, a side mirror camera 3 extending toward the left side of the vehicle body 1 is provided at a front portion of the vehicle body 1 and an upper position of the front pillar portion 2. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the front door 4 is attached to the panel portion 4 a at the upper end portion by bonding or the like.
As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the side mirror camera 3 is provided with a rear view camera 6 on the rear surface portion of the camera main body 5 and a lower view camera 7 on the lower surface portion. And supported by the support section 9. The camera support leg portion 8 and the support support portion 9 are formed by resin molding and are integrally formed with the camera body portion 5.

前記カメラ支持脚部８は、フロントドア４の上端部のパネル部分４ａから車体外側に向けて斜め後方に延出され、車体外側に向かうにしたがって後方に湾曲する曲線形状に形成されている。カメラ支持脚部８の先端部にはカメラ本体部５が設けられ、車体後方の視界を後方視界用カメラ６で撮像し、車体下方側の視界を下方視界用カメラ７で撮像するものである。前記カメラ支持脚部８の根元部、すなわち基端部８０を車体側方から見ると、図６に示すように、前方側の後方に傾斜して次第に上方に向かう前面８１と、下方側、後方に向かう下面８２との交叉する前端角部８ｘが、前記カメラ支持脚部８の基端部８０の前端８ａと最下端８ｂの位置に配置されている。前記カメラ支持脚部８の基端部８０の後面８３は、後方に向けて次第に上方に上がる斜面に形成されている。前記前面８１の上端と後面８３の上端を繋ぐ上面８４は、下面８２と略平行に形成され、基端部８０の横断面形状が略平行四辺形形状に構成されている。なお、前端角部８ｘから下面８２を省略して、直接、上面８４後端に接続してもよい。この場合、基端部８０の横断面形状は略三角形形状に構成される。   The camera support leg 8 is formed in a curved shape that extends obliquely rearward from the panel portion 4a at the upper end of the front door 4 toward the outside of the vehicle body and curves backward as it goes toward the vehicle body outside. A camera body 5 is provided at the tip of the camera support leg 8, and the field of view behind the vehicle body is imaged by the rear view camera 6, and the field of view below the vehicle body is imaged by the lower field of view camera 7. When the base portion of the camera support leg 8, that is, the base end portion 80 is viewed from the side of the vehicle body, as shown in FIG. 6, a front surface 81 that inclines rearward and gradually upwards as shown in FIG. A front end corner portion 8x intersecting with the lower surface 82 facing toward the front end portion 8a is disposed at the position of the front end 8a and the lowermost end 8b of the base end portion 80 of the camera support leg portion 8. The rear surface 83 of the base end portion 80 of the camera support leg 8 is formed as a slope that gradually rises upward. An upper surface 84 connecting the upper end of the front surface 81 and the upper end of the rear surface 83 is formed substantially parallel to the lower surface 82, and the cross-sectional shape of the base end portion 80 is formed in a substantially parallelogram shape. Alternatively, the lower surface 82 may be omitted from the front end corner portion 8x and directly connected to the rear end of the upper surface 84. In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the base end portion 80 is formed in a substantially triangular shape.

前記支持サポート部９は、前記カメラ支持脚部８の後方に間隔を置いて設けられており、この支持サポート部９によって前記カメラ本体部５と車体側面パネル部４ａとが連結されている。この支持サポート部９の前面９１および後面９３は上方に向かうにしたがって後方に向けて傾斜して構成され、前面９１および後面９３を下面９２および上面９４で連結されて、支持サポート部９の車体側面視の断面形状が略平行四辺形を形成している。前記カメラ支持脚部８の基端部８０と前記支持サポート部９の基端部９０は、共通の平板状プレート１０に一体成形あるいは接着により取り付けられており、この平板状プレート１０を車体側面パネル部４ａに接着あるいはネジ止め等により組み付けることで、フロントドア４に取り付けられている。   The support support portion 9 is provided behind the camera support leg portion 8 with a space therebetween, and the camera main body portion 5 and the vehicle body side panel portion 4a are connected by the support support portion 9. The front surface 91 and the rear surface 93 of the support support portion 9 are configured to be inclined rearward as they go upward, and the front surface 91 and the rear surface 93 are connected by the lower surface 92 and the upper surface 94, so The cross-sectional shape of the view forms a substantially parallelogram. The base end portion 80 of the camera support leg 8 and the base end portion 90 of the support support portion 9 are attached to a common flat plate 10 by integral molding or bonding, and the flat plate 10 is attached to the side panel of the vehicle body. It is attached to the front door 4 by being attached to the portion 4a by bonding or screwing.

次に前記自動車のカメラ支持構造の作用を説明する。
上記に示したような本構造をとることで、自動車の走行に際して、車体１に当たる風は、フロント部から側方に流れて、ピラー部２を上昇してくる。このピラー部２を上昇してくる風は、渦流となって、車体１の側方に張り出しているサイドミラーカメラ３部分に吹き付ける。この渦流となって上昇してくる風は、カメラ支持脚部８の基端部８０の前端角部８ｘに突き当たり、渦流の空気が前端角部８ｘを起点として、分断されて上方に流れる風と後方に流れる風となって流れることになる。こうして、カメラ支持脚部８は、渦流の影響を受けることなく、カメラ本体部５の支持が可能になり、かつ、渦流を分断させたことにより渦流を弱めることができることにもつながり、カメラ本体部５の支持形状に対しての負荷となる空気抵抗を弱め、支持強度の確保が可能となる。 Next, the operation of the camera support structure of the automobile will be described.
By adopting the present structure as described above, the wind hitting the vehicle body 1 flows from the front part to the side and rises up the pillar part 2 when the automobile travels. The wind rising up the pillar portion 2 becomes a vortex and blows to the side mirror camera 3 portion projecting to the side of the vehicle body 1. The wind that rises as this vortex flows against the front end corner 8x of the base end portion 80 of the camera support leg 8, and the vortex air is separated from the front end corner 8x and flows upward. It will flow as a wind that flows backward. Thus, the camera support leg 8 can support the camera body 5 without being affected by the eddy current, and can also weaken the eddy current by dividing the eddy current. The air resistance which becomes a load with respect to the support shape of 5 is weakened, and it becomes possible to ensure the support strength.

また、カメラ支持脚部８は、車体側面パネル部４ａとの取付け部断面形状が車両後方に向かうほど上方傾斜する滑らかな面を含む略平行四辺形もしくは略三角形形状に形成されているので、カメラ支持脚部８の基端部８０に当たった渦流の空気を後方までスムーズに流すことで、カメラ支持脚部８の基端部８０の負荷につながる空気抵抗の低減を促進することにつなげることが出来る。
さらに、カメラ支持脚部８の基端部８０の下端が後方まで伸びていないことで、カメラの下方視界の妨害とならず、カメラの撮像エリアの確保と、取付け位置の自由度を高めることができるようになる。 Further, the camera support leg 8 is formed in a substantially parallelogram or a substantially triangular shape including a smooth surface in which the cross-sectional shape of the attachment portion with the vehicle body side panel 4a is inclined upward toward the rear of the vehicle. By smoothly flowing the swirling air that hits the base end portion 80 of the support leg 8 to the rear, it is possible to promote the reduction of air resistance that leads to the load on the base end portion 80 of the camera support leg 8. I can do it.
Furthermore, since the lower end of the base end portion 80 of the camera support leg portion 8 does not extend rearward, it does not obstruct the lower field of view of the camera, and it is possible to secure the imaging area of the camera and increase the degree of freedom of the mounting position. become able to.

また、前記カメラ支持脚部８の外形が、上面視で、車体外側に向かうにしたがって後方に湾曲する曲線形状に形成されているので、カメラ支持脚部８の基端部８０に起こる渦流を外側に受け流すことで、カメラ支持脚部８への負荷となる空気抵抗の低減を促進することができる。
さらに、支持サポート部９によって前記カメラ本体部５と車体側面パネル部４ａとが連結されているので、支持サポート部が突っ張り棒の役割を果たし、支持強度を高めることができる。
支持サポート部９の前面部および後面部が上方に向かうにしたがって後方に向けて傾斜して構成され、側面視の断面形状が略平行四辺形を形成しているので、支持サポート部９の根元部もパネル面沿いの渦流の影響を受けるが、それも分断し、こちらでも空気抵抗の低減を図ることが出来る。 In addition, since the outer shape of the camera support leg 8 is formed in a curved shape that curves backward as it goes to the outside of the vehicle body as viewed from above, the vortex generated at the base end portion 80 of the camera support leg 8 is outside. It is possible to promote a reduction in air resistance that becomes a load on the camera support leg portion 8.
Furthermore, since the camera main body 5 and the vehicle body side panel 4a are connected by the support support 9, the support support can serve as a tension rod, and the support strength can be increased.
Since the front surface portion and the rear surface portion of the support support portion 9 are inclined to the rear as they move upward, and the cross-sectional shape in a side view forms a substantially parallelogram, the base portion of the support support portion 9 Although it is affected by eddy currents along the panel surface, it can also be divided to reduce air resistance.

なお、本発明は、前記実施の形態のみに限定されるものではなく、例えば、前記実施の形態では、車体１の左側のフロントドア４の上部位置にサイドミラーカメラ３を取り付けた場合について説明したが、右側のフロントドア４の上部位置にも同様に設けることは可能である。また、前記実施の形態ではサイドミラーカメラ３は、フロントドア４に取り付けているが、車体１あるいは、フロントピラー部２の上部位置に直に取り付けることもできる。その他、本発明の技術的範囲を変更しない範囲内で適宜変更して実施し得ることは言うまでもない。   The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the side mirror camera 3 is attached to the upper position of the front door 4 on the left side of the vehicle body 1 has been described. However, it can be provided in the same manner at the upper position of the right front door 4. In the above embodiment, the side mirror camera 3 is attached to the front door 4, but it can also be attached directly to the vehicle body 1 or the upper position of the front pillar portion 2. In addition, it cannot be overemphasized that it can change suitably and can implement within the range which does not change the technical scope of the present invention.
