Description

本発明は、レーダー装置を保持するアダプターに関する。 The present invention relates to an adapter that holds a radar device.

従来、車両には、障害物を検知するために、レーザーレーダー又はミリ波レーダー等を用いたレーダー装置が搭載されているものが存在する。レーダー装置は、例えば、ＡＣＣシステム（アダプティブ・クルーズ・コントロール・システム）、Ｓｔｏｐ＆Ｇｏシステム（渋滞追従システム）、及び車間警報システム等に使用される。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some vehicles are equipped with a radar device using a laser radar, a millimeter wave radar, or the like in order to detect an obstacle. The radar device is used, for example, in an ACC system (adaptive cruise control system), a Stop & Go system (congestion tracking system), an inter-vehicle warning system, and the like.

このようなレーダー装置は、アダプターに保持されて、車両の取付部に取り付けられる。また、アダプターには、車両の取付部に対してレーダー装置の検出軸の角度を調整するため、取付部に対するアダプターの角度を調整する調整機構を備えているものも提案されている（特許文献１参照）。 Such a radar device is held by an adapter and attached to a mounting portion of a vehicle. Further, it is also proposed that the adapter includes an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the angle of the adapter with respect to the mounting portion in order to adjust the angle of the detection axis of the radar device with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle (Patent Document 1) reference).

特開２００２−３０３６７２号公報JP, 2002-303672, A

車両の取付部にアダプター及びレーダー装置を取り付けるには、取付部の周辺に、アダプター及びレーダー装置の設置スペースを確保する必要がある。設置スペースには、アダプター及びレーダー装置が占めるスペースに加え、取付部に対するアダプターの角度を調整するために必要なスペースも含まれる。また、車両の取付部及び該取付部周辺の構造によっては、アダプターを取付部の前方に配置した方がアダプター及びレーダー装置の設置スペースを小さくできる場合と、アダプターを取付部の後方に配置した方がアダプター及びレーダー装置の設置スペースを小さくできる場合とがある。 In order to mount the adapter and the radar device on the mounting portion of the vehicle, it is necessary to secure a space for installing the adapter and the radar device around the mounting portion. The installation space includes the space occupied by the adapter and the radar device as well as the space required to adjust the angle of the adapter with respect to the mounting portion. Also, depending on the mounting part of the vehicle and the structure around the mounting part, it may be possible to reduce the installation space for the adapter and the radar device by arranging the adapter in front of the mounting part, or in the rear of the mounting part. May reduce the installation space for the adapter and radar device.

しかしながら、従来のアダプターは、アダプターの前方からのみ、取付部に対するアダプターの角度を調整できる構成となっていた。このため、従来のアダプターは、車両の取付部の前方にしか配置することができなかった。したがって、従来のアダプターは、車両の取付部及び該取付部周辺の構造によっては、アダプター及びレーダー装置の設置スペースが大きくなってしまうという課題があった。 However, in the conventional adapter, the angle of the adapter with respect to the mounting portion can be adjusted only from the front of the adapter. Therefore, the conventional adapter can be arranged only in front of the mounting portion of the vehicle. Therefore, the conventional adapter has a problem that the installation space for the adapter and the radar device becomes large depending on the mounting portion of the vehicle and the structure around the mounting portion.

本発明は、上述の課題を背景としてなされたものであり、車両にレーダー装置を搭載する際に用いられるアダプターであって、アダプター及びレーダー装置の設置スペースを小さくすることが可能なアダプターを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides an adapter used when a radar device is mounted on a vehicle and capable of reducing the installation space of the adapter and the radar device. The purpose is to

本発明に係るアダプターは、車両の取付部に取り付けられ、レーダー装置を保持するアダプターであって、貫通する少なくとも３つの雌ネジ部が形成されており、一端が前記車両の前記取付部に回転自在及び角度変更自在に取り付けられ、前記雌ネジ部とかみ合う雄ネジ部が形成された調整ボルトを少なくとも３本備えている。 The adapter according to the present invention is an adapter that is attached to a mounting portion of a vehicle and holds a radar device, and has at least three female screw portions that penetrate therethrough, and one end of which is rotatable with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle. And at least three adjusting bolts that are attached so that the angle can be changed and that have a male screw portion that meshes with the female screw portion.

本発明に係るアダプターは、雌ネジ部への調整ボルトの挿入方向を変更することにより、アダプターの前方及び後方の両側から車両の取付部に対するアダプターの角度を調整することができる。すなわち、本発明に係るアダプターは、車両の取付部の前方及び後方の双方に配置することができる。このため、本発明に係るアダプターは、アダプター及びレーダー装置の設置スペースを小さくすることができる。 In the adapter according to the present invention, the angle of the adapter with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle can be adjusted from both front and rear sides of the adapter by changing the inserting direction of the adjusting bolt into the female screw portion. That is, the adapter according to the present invention can be arranged both in front of and behind the mounting portion of the vehicle. Therefore, the adapter according to the present invention can reduce the installation space for the adapter and the radar device.

本実施の形態に係るアダプター１００は、車両の取付部に取り付けられ、レーダー装置６０を保持するアダプターである。車両とは、エンジン及び電動モータのうちの少なくとも１つを駆動源とする自転車、自動二輪車、自動三輪車及び自動四輪車等である。なお、自転車とは、ペダルに付与される踏力によって路上を推進することが可能な乗物全般を意味している。つまり、自転車には、普通自転車、電動アシスト自転車、電動自転車等が含まれる。また、自動二輪車又は自動三輪車は、いわゆるモーターサイクルを意味し、モーターサイクルには、オートバイ、スクーター、電動スクーター等が含まれる。また、車両の取付部とは、車両に設けられた、アダプター１００を取り付けるためのブラケット等である。 The adapter 100 according to the present embodiment is an adapter that is attached to a mounting portion of a vehicle and holds the radar device 60. The vehicle is a bicycle, a motorcycle, a three-wheeled vehicle, a four-wheeled vehicle, or the like, which uses at least one of an engine and an electric motor as a drive source. The bicycle means all vehicles that can be propelled on the road by the pedaling force applied to the pedals. That is, the bicycle includes an ordinary bicycle, an electrically assisted bicycle, an electric bicycle, and the like. Further, a motorcycle or a motorcycle means a so-called motorcycle, and the motorcycle includes a motorcycle, a scooter, an electric scooter and the like. The vehicle mounting portion is a bracket or the like provided on the vehicle for mounting the adapter 100.

ここで、アダプター１００を説明するに際し、略直方体形状のレーダー装置６０の各部を次のように定義する。送受信面６５を前面とし、送受信面６５と対向する面を背面とする。送受信面６５と背面とを接続する側面部のうち、後述する第１部品１０の第１支持部１２と接触する側面部を、第１側面部６１とする。本実施の形態の場合、レーダー装置６０の底面部が第１側面部６１となっている。また、送受信面６５と背面とを接続する側面部のうち、後述する第２部品２０の第２支持部２２と接触する側面部を、第２側面部６２とする。本実施の形態の場合、レーダー装置６０の上面部が第２側面部６２となっている。また、送受信面６５と背面とを接続する側面部のうち、第１側面部６１及び第２側面部６２以外の残りの側面部を、第３側面部６３及び第４側面部６４とする。本実施の形態の場合、左側側面部が第３側面部６３となっており、右側側面部が第４側面部６４となっている。 Here, in describing the adapter 100, each part of the radar device 60 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape is defined as follows. The transmitting/receiving surface 65 is the front surface, and the surface facing the transmitting/receiving surface 65 is the back surface. Of the side surface portions that connect the transmission/reception surface 65 and the back surface, the side surface portion that contacts the first support portion 12 of the first component 10 to be described later is referred to as a first side surface portion 61. In the case of the present embodiment, the bottom surface portion of the radar device 60 is the first side surface portion 61. Further, among the side surface portions that connect the transmitting/receiving surface 65 and the back surface, the side surface portion that comes into contact with the second support portion 22 of the second component 20 described later is referred to as a second side surface portion 62. In the case of the present embodiment, the upper surface portion of the radar device 60 is the second side surface portion 62. Further, among the side surface portions connecting the transmission/reception surface 65 and the back surface, the remaining side surface portions other than the first side surface portion 61 and the second side surface portion 62 are referred to as a third side surface portion 63 and a fourth side surface portion 64. In the case of the present embodiment, the left side surface portion is the third side surface portion 63, and the right side surface portion is the fourth side surface portion 64.

アダプター１００は、第１部品１０及び第２部品２０を備えている。 The adapter 100 includes a first component 10 and a second component 20.

第１部品１０は、基部１１と、該基部１１から前方へ突出する第１支持部１２とを備えている。基部１１は、レーダー装置６０の背面と対向して配置される。第１支持部１２は、レーダー装置６０の第１側面部６１と接触し、該第１側面部６１を支持する。ここで、本実施の形態では、アダプター１００に保持されるレーダー装置６０は、第１側面部６１に、図示せぬ制御装置と配線接続する際に用いられるコネクター６６が設けられている。このため、第１支持部１２には、第１支持部１２とコネクター６６とが干渉しないように、貫通孔１６が形成されている。すなわち、アダプター１００でレーダー装置６０を保持する際、コネクター６６は貫通孔１６に挿入される。なお、第１支持部１２に、貫通孔１６に換えて切り欠きを形成し、第１支持部１２とコネクター６６とが干渉しないようにしてもよい。 The first component 10 includes a base portion 11 and a first support portion 12 that projects forward from the base portion 11. The base 11 is arranged to face the back surface of the radar device 60. The first support portion 12 is in contact with the first side surface portion 61 of the radar device 60 and supports the first side surface portion 61. Here, in the present embodiment, the radar device 60 held by the adapter 100 is provided with the connector 66 on the first side face portion 61, which is used when wiring connection with a control device (not shown). Therefore, the through hole 16 is formed in the first support portion 12 so that the first support portion 12 and the connector 66 do not interfere with each other. That is, when the radar device 60 is held by the adapter 100, the connector 66 is inserted into the through hole 16. A cutout may be formed in the first support portion 12 instead of the through hole 16 so that the first support portion 12 and the connector 66 do not interfere with each other.

また、第１部品１０の例えば基部１１には、第２部品２０と対向する位置に、雌ネジ部１３が形成されている。雌ネジ部１３は、雄ネジ１を用いて第１部品１０へ第２部品２０をネジ止め固定する際、雄ネジ１がねじ込まれる雌ネジ部である。雌ネジ部１３の数は特に限定されないが、基部１１の両端に雌ネジ部１３が少なくとも１つずつ形成されているとよい。 A female screw portion 13 is formed at a position facing the second component 20, for example, on the base portion 11 of the first component 10. The female screw portion 13 is a female screw portion into which the male screw 1 is screwed when the second component 20 is screwed and fixed to the first component 10 using the male screw 1. Although the number of the female screw portions 13 is not particularly limited, it is preferable that at least one female screw portion 13 is formed at each end of the base portion 11.

また、本実施の形態に係る第１部品１０は、基部１１から前方へ突出する側壁１４及び側壁１５を備えている。側壁１４は、レーダー装置６０の第３側面部６３と対向して配置される。側壁１５は、レーダー装置６０の第４側面部６４と対向して配置される。すなわち、本実施の形態では、側壁１４と側壁１５とは、横方向に対向している。後述のように、アダプター１００は、レーダー装置６０を第１部品１０及び第２部品２０によって上下方向に挟持し、レーダー装置６０を保持する。この際、アダプター１００は、横方向にレーダー装置６０が移動することを規制するのに十分な保持力で、レーダー装置６０を保持することができる。このため、側壁１４及び側壁１５は、必須の構成ではない。しかしながら、側壁１４及び側壁１５を備えることにより、レーダー装置６０が横方向に移動することをより規制でき、アダプター１００からレーダー装置６０が外れることをより抑制できる。 Further, the first component 10 according to the present embodiment includes the side wall 14 and the side wall 15 that project forward from the base 11. The side wall 14 is arranged to face the third side surface portion 63 of the radar device 60. The side wall 15 is arranged to face the fourth side surface portion 64 of the radar device 60. That is, in the present embodiment, the side wall 14 and the side wall 15 are laterally opposed to each other. As described below, the adapter 100 holds the radar device 60 by vertically sandwiching the radar device 60 by the first component 10 and the second component 20. At this time, the adapter 100 can hold the radar device 60 with a holding force sufficient to restrict the lateral movement of the radar device 60. Therefore, the side wall 14 and the side wall 15 are not essential components. However, by providing the side wall 14 and the side wall 15, it is possible to further restrict the lateral movement of the radar device 60 and further prevent the radar device 60 from coming off the adapter 100.

なお、側壁１４と側壁１５との間の間隔は、レーダー装置６０の第３側面部６３と第４側面部６４との間の長さよりも長くてもよい。これにより、図３に示すレーダー装置６０よりも第３側面部６３と第４側面部６４との間の長さが長いレーダー装置６０を、同一のアダプター１００で保持することが可能となる。すなわち、アダプター１００の汎用性が高くなる。また、側壁１４及び側壁１５を設けないことによっても、図３に示すレーダー装置６０よりも第３側面部６３と第４側面部６４との間の長さが長いレーダー装置６０を、同一のアダプター１００で保持することが可能となる。すなわち、アダプター１００の汎用性が高くなる。 The distance between the side wall 14 and the side wall 15 may be longer than the length between the third side surface portion 63 and the fourth side surface portion 64 of the radar device 60. As a result, the radar device 60 having a longer length between the third side surface portion 63 and the fourth side surface portion 64 than the radar device 60 shown in FIG. 3 can be held by the same adapter 100. That is, the versatility of the adapter 100 is enhanced. Further, even if the side wall 14 and the side wall 15 are not provided, the radar device 60 having a longer length between the third side surface portion 63 and the fourth side surface portion 64 than the radar device 60 shown in FIG. It becomes possible to hold at 100. That is, the versatility of the adapter 100 is enhanced.

第２部品２０は、基部２１と、該基部２１から前方へ突出する第２支持部２２とを備えている。基部２１は、第１部品１０と対向して配置される。なお、本実施の形態では基部２１はレーダー装置６０の背面と対向していないが、基部２１を下方へ延ばし、基部２１の一部をレーダー装置６０の背面と対向して配置してもよい。第２支持部２２は、レーダー装置６０の第２側面部６２と接触し、該第２側面部６２を支持する。また、第２部品２０の例えば基部２１には、第１部品１０の雌ネジ部１３と対向する位置に、雄ネジ１が挿入される貫通孔２３が形成されている。貫通孔２３は、雌ネジ部１３と同数形成されている。 The second component 20 includes a base portion 21 and a second support portion 22 that projects forward from the base portion 21. The base portion 21 is arranged so as to face the first component 10. Although the base portion 21 does not face the back surface of the radar device 60 in the present embodiment, the base portion 21 may be extended downward and a part of the base portion 21 may be arranged to face the back surface of the radar device 60. The second support portion 22 contacts the second side surface portion 62 of the radar device 60 and supports the second side surface portion 62. Further, a through hole 23 into which the male screw 1 is inserted is formed at a position facing the female screw portion 13 of the first component 10, for example, in the base portion 21 of the second component 20. The through holes 23 are formed in the same number as the female screw portions 13.

第２部品２０の貫通孔２３に雄ネジ１を挿入し、該雄ネジ１を第１部品１０の雌ネジ部１３へねじ込んでいくことにより、第２部品２０は第１部品１０にネジ止め固定される。そして、第２部品２０が第１部品１０にネジ止め固定された際、レーダー装置６０は、第１部品１０の第１支持部１２と第２部品２０の第２支持部２２とで挟持される。これにより、上下方向に作用するネジの締結力が保持力となり、レーダー装置６０は、アダプター１００に保持されることとなる。 By inserting the male screw 1 into the through hole 23 of the second component 20 and screwing the male screw 1 into the female screw portion 13 of the first component 10, the second component 20 is screwed and fixed to the first component 10. To be done. Then, when the second component 20 is screwed and fixed to the first component 10, the radar device 60 is sandwiched between the first support portion 12 of the first component 10 and the second support portion 22 of the second component 20. .. As a result, the fastening force of the screw that acts in the vertical direction becomes a holding force, and the radar device 60 is held by the adapter 100.

なお、アダプター１００は、コネクター６６の位置が異なる複数のレーダー装置６０を、同一のアダプター１００で保持することもできる。 The adapter 100 can also hold a plurality of radar devices 60 having different connector 66 positions by the same adapter 100.

図４は、本発明の実施の形態に係るアダプターでレーダー装置を保持した状態を示す斜視図である。
図４に示すレーダー装置６０は、第３側面部６３にコネクター６６が設けられている。このようなレーダー装置６０を保持する場合でも、アダプター１００とコネクター６６とが干渉しないようにすれば、図１〜図３で示したアダプター１００を用いることができる。なお、図４で示すアダプター１００は、第３側面部６３に設けられているコネクター６６との干渉を避けるため、図１及び図２等に示すように、第３側面部６３と対向する側壁１４に切り欠き１７が形成されている。 FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the radar device is held by the adapter according to the embodiment of the present invention.
In the radar device 60 shown in FIG. 4, the connector 66 is provided on the third side surface portion 63. Even when such a radar device 60 is held, the adapter 100 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 can be used if the adapter 100 and the connector 66 are prevented from interfering with each other. In order to avoid interference with the connector 66 provided on the third side surface portion 63, the adapter 100 shown in FIG. 4 has side walls 14 facing the third side surface portion 63, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. A notch 17 is formed in the.

また、本実施の形態に係るアダプター１００は、車両の取付部に対してレーダー装置６０の検出軸の角度を調整するための調整機構を備えている。具体的には、アダプター１００は、調整機構として、３つの雌ネジ部３０と、３本の調整ボルト４０を備えている。雌ネジ部３０のそれぞれは、例えば前後方向に貫通するように、第１部品１０に形成されている。調整ボルト４０のそれぞれには、雌ネジ部３０とかみ合う雄ネジ部４１が形成されている。また、雄ネジ部４１の端部には、断面形状が例えば多角形状となった工具接続部４２が設けられている。すなわち、調整ボルト４０の雄ネジ部４１を第１部品１０の雌ネジ部３０にねじ込み、工具接続部４２に工具を接続して調整ボルト４０を回すことにより、調整ボルト４０は、雌ネジ部３０の貫通方向に、第１部品１０に対して相対移動可能となっている。 In addition, the adapter 100 according to the present embodiment includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the angle of the detection axis of the radar device 60 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle. Specifically, the adapter 100 includes three female screw portions 30 and three adjusting bolts 40 as an adjusting mechanism. Each of the female screw portions 30 is formed in the first component 10 so as to penetrate in the front-rear direction, for example. Each of the adjusting bolts 40 is formed with a male screw portion 41 that meshes with the female screw portion 30. A tool connecting portion 42 having a polygonal cross section is provided at an end of the male screw portion 41. That is, by screwing the male screw portion 41 of the adjusting bolt 40 into the female screw portion 30 of the first component 10, connecting the tool to the tool connecting portion 42, and rotating the adjusting bolt 40, the adjusting bolt 40 is rotated. Relative to the first component 10 in the penetrating direction.

また、調整ボルト４０の工具接続部４２とは反対側の端部である一端は、車両の取付部に、回転自在及び角度変更自在に取り付けられる。調整ボルト４０が車両の取付部に対して回転自在及び角度変更自在となっていれば、調整ボルト４０の一端と車両の取付部との取り付け構成は、特に限定されない。２つの連結部品が回転自在及び角度変更自在に連結されている、種々の構成のユニバーサルジョイントが知られている。例えば、このようなユニバーサルジョイントの公知の連結構成を用いて、調整ボルト４０の一端を、車両の取付部に回転自在及び角度変更自在に取り付けてもよい。 One end of the adjusting bolt 40, which is the end opposite to the tool connecting portion 42, is rotatably and angularly attached to a mounting portion of the vehicle. As long as the adjusting bolt 40 is rotatable and its angle can be changed with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle, the mounting configuration between one end of the adjusting bolt 40 and the mounting portion of the vehicle is not particularly limited. There are known universal joints of various configurations in which two connecting parts are rotatably and angularly connected. For example, one end of the adjustment bolt 40 may be rotatably and angularly attached to the attachment portion of the vehicle by using a known connection structure of such a universal joint.

本実施の形態では、調整ボルト４０と共にユニバーサルジョイントを構成する取り付け部品５０を用いて、調整ボルト４０の一端を、車両の取付部に回転自在及び角度変更自在に取り付けている。取り付け部品５０は、アダプター１００の付属部品であってもよいし、車両の付属部品であってもよい。詳しくは、調整ボルト４０の工具接続部４２とは反対側の端部には、外周部の一部が球形状となった球頭部４３が形成されている。また、取り付け部品５０は、調整ボルト４０の球頭部４３を回転自在及び角度変更自在に保持する保持部５１を備えている。なお、保持部５１が球頭部４３を保持する構成は、特に限定されない。保持部５１が球頭部４３を保持する構成として、ユニバーサルジョイントにおいて球頭部を回転自在及び角度変更自在に保持する公知の種々の構成を用いることができる。球頭部４３と保持部５１とが、着脱自在であってもよく、また、着脱不能であってもよい。 In the present embodiment, one end of the adjustment bolt 40 is attached to the attachment portion of the vehicle so as to be rotatable and changeable in angle by using the attachment component 50 that constitutes the universal joint together with the adjustment bolt 40. The attachment component 50 may be an accessory component of the adapter 100 or a vehicle accessory component. Specifically, a ball head 43 having a spherical outer peripheral portion is formed at an end of the adjustment bolt 40 opposite to the tool connecting portion 42. Further, the attachment component 50 includes a holding portion 51 that holds the ball head 43 of the adjustment bolt 40 so as to be rotatable and changeable in angle. The configuration in which the holding unit 51 holds the ball head 43 is not particularly limited. As the structure for holding the ball head 43 by the holding portion 51, various known structures for holding the ball head in the universal joint rotatably and changeable in angle can be used. The ball head 43 and the holding portion 51 may be detachable or may not be detachable.

第１部品１０の雌ネジ部３０のそれぞれに調整ボルト４０の雄ネジ部４１をねじ込み、調整ボルト４０と同数の取り付け部品５０を車両の取付部に取り付け、各取り付け部品５０の保持部５１に各調整ボルト４０の球頭部４３を保持させることにより、アダプター１００が車両の取付部に取り付けられる。なお、車両の取付部への取り付け部品５０の取り付け構成は特に限定されないが、本実施の形態では、次のような取り付け構成となっている。取り付け部品５０は、高さの異なる第１鍔部５２及び第２鍔部５３を備えている。第１鍔部５２と第２鍔部５３との間に、車両の取付部の板部材を挟み込むことにより、取り付け部品５０は、車両の取付部に取り付けられる。 The male screw portion 41 of the adjusting bolt 40 is screwed into each of the female screw portions 30 of the first component 10, and the same number of mounting components 50 as the adjusting bolts 40 are mounted on the mounting portion of the vehicle. By holding the ball head 43 of the adjusting bolt 40, the adapter 100 is attached to the attachment portion of the vehicle. The mounting configuration of the mounting component 50 to the mounting portion of the vehicle is not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, the mounting configuration is as follows. The mounting component 50 includes a first collar portion 52 and a second collar portion 53 having different heights. The attachment component 50 is attached to the attachment portion of the vehicle by sandwiching the plate member of the attachment portion of the vehicle between the first flange portion 52 and the second flange portion 53.

アダプター１００が車両の取付部に取り付けられた状態において、工具接続部４２に工具を接続して各調整ボルト４０を回すことにより、各調整ボルト４０の位置において、アダプター１００と車両の取付部との距離を変更できる。これにより、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整できる。すなわち、車両の取付部に対して、アダプター１００に保持されたレーダー装置６０の検出軸の角度を調整できる。 When the adapter 100 is attached to the mounting portion of the vehicle, a tool is connected to the tool connecting portion 42 and each adjusting bolt 40 is turned, so that the adapter 100 and the mounting portion of the vehicle are attached at each adjusting bolt 40 position. You can change the distance. Thereby, the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle can be adjusted. That is, the angle of the detection axis of the radar device 60 held by the adapter 100 can be adjusted with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle.

なお、図１〜図４に示すように、第１部品１０の後方から雌ネジ部３０に調整ボルト４０の雄ネジ部４１をねじ込んだ場合、アダプター１００は車両の取付部の前方に配置され、調整ボルト４０の工具接続部４２は第１部品１０の前方へ突出することとなる。このため、アダプター１００の前方から、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整することとなる。しかしながら、アダプター１００の前方からの角度調整の仕方は一例である。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, when the male screw portion 41 of the adjusting bolt 40 is screwed into the female screw portion 30 from the rear of the first component 10, the adapter 100 is arranged in front of the mounting portion of the vehicle, The tool connecting portion 42 of the adjusting bolt 40 projects forward of the first component 10. Therefore, the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle is adjusted from the front of the adapter 100. However, the method of adjusting the angle from the front of the adapter 100 is an example.

図５は、本発明の実施の形態に係るアダプターの組立斜視図である。
図５に示すように、第１部品１０の前方から雌ネジ部３０に調整ボルト４０の雄ネジ部４１をねじ込んだ場合、アダプター１００は車両の取付部の後方に配置され、調整ボルト４０の工具接続部４２は第１部品１０の後方へ突出することとなる。このため、アダプター１００の後方から、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整することができる。 FIG. 5 is an assembled perspective view of the adapter according to the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the male screw portion 41 of the adjusting bolt 40 is screwed into the female screw portion 30 from the front of the first component 10, the adapter 100 is arranged behind the mounting portion of the vehicle, and the tool of the adjusting bolt 40 is used. The connecting portion 42 will project to the rear of the first component 10. Therefore, the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle can be adjusted from the rear of the adapter 100.

すなわち、本実施の形態に係るアダプター１００は、アダプター１００の前方及び後方の両側から、換言するとレーダー装置６０の前方及び後方の両側から、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整することができる。車両の取付部及び該取付部周辺の構造によって、アダプター１００を取付部の前方に配置した方がアダプター１００及びレーダー装置６０の設置スペースを小さくできる場合と、アダプター１００を取付部の後方に配置した方がアダプター１００及びレーダー装置６０の設置スペースを小さくできる場合とがある。本実施の形態に係るアダプター１００は、アダプター１００の前方及び後方の両側から車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整することができるので、アダプター１００及びレーダー装置６０の設置スペースを小さくすることができる。 That is, the adapter 100 according to the present embodiment can adjust the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle from both front and rear sides of the adapter 100, in other words, both front and rear sides of the radar device 60. .. Depending on the mounting portion of the vehicle and the structure around the mounting portion, it may be possible to reduce the installation space of the adapter 100 and the radar device 60 by arranging the adapter 100 in front of the mounting portion, and in the rear of the mounting portion. In some cases, the installation space for the adapter 100 and the radar device 60 can be reduced. Since the adapter 100 according to the present embodiment can adjust the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle from both front and rear sides of the adapter 100, the installation space for the adapter 100 and the radar device 60 can be reduced. it can.

なお、本実施の形態に係るアダプター１００は、３つの雌ネジ部３０と、３本の調整ボルト４０とを備えていた。しかしながら、雌ネジ部３０の数は３つに限定されず、調整ボルト４０の数も３本に限定されない。少なくとも３箇所においてアダプター１００と車両の取付部との距離を調整できれば、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整できる。このため、雌ネジ部３０は、少なくとも３つあれば、４つ以上でもよい。同様に、調整ボルト４０は、少なくとも３本あれば、４本以上でもよい。 The adapter 100 according to the present embodiment has the three female screw portions 30 and the three adjusting bolts 40. However, the number of the female screw portions 30 is not limited to three, and the number of the adjusting bolts 40 is not limited to three. If the distance between the adapter 100 and the mounting portion of the vehicle can be adjusted in at least three places, the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle can be adjusted. Therefore, if there are at least three female screw portions 30, four or more may be used. Similarly, if there are at least three adjusting bolts 40, four or more adjusting bolts may be used.

ここで、本実施の形態に係るアダプター１００は、全ての雌ネジ部３０が第１部品１０に設けられていた。これに限らず、雌ネジ部３０の一部が第２部品２０に設けられていてもよい。しかしながら、全ての雌ネジ部３０を第１部品１０に設けることにより、以下のような効果を得ることができる。詳しくは、第１部品１０及び第２部品２０の対向方向である上下方向の長さが異なるレーダー装置６０を保持する際、同一の第１部品１０を用い、第２部品２０の形状を変更させるとする。このようにした場合、上下方向の長さが異なるレーダー装置６０毎に、車両の取付部での調整ボルト４０の取り付け位置を変更しなくてもよくなるので、アダプター１００の汎用性が高くなる。 Here, in the adapter 100 according to the present embodiment, all the female screw portions 30 are provided on the first component 10. Not limited to this, a part of the female screw portion 30 may be provided on the second component 20. However, by providing all the female screw portions 30 on the first component 10, the following effects can be obtained. Specifically, when holding radar devices 60 having different vertical lengths, which are the facing directions of the first component 10 and the second component 20, the same first component 10 is used and the shape of the second component 20 is changed. And In this case, since it is not necessary to change the mounting position of the adjusting bolt 40 in the mounting portion of the vehicle for each radar device 60 having different vertical lengths, the versatility of the adapter 100 is enhanced.

なお、全ての雌ネジ部３０が第２部品２０に設けられていても、同様の効果を得ることができる。詳しくは、上下方向の長さが異なるレーダー装置６０を保持する際、同一の第２部品２０を用い、第１部品１０の形状を変更させるとする。このようにした場合、上下方向の長さが異なるレーダー装置６０毎に、車両の取付部での調整ボルト４０の取り付け位置を変更しなくてもよくなるので、アダプター１００の汎用性が高くなる。 Even if all the female screw portions 30 are provided in the second component 20, the same effect can be obtained. Specifically, when holding the radar devices 60 having different vertical lengths, the same second component 20 is used and the shape of the first component 10 is changed. In this case, since it is not necessary to change the mounting position of the adjusting bolt 40 in the mounting portion of the vehicle for each radar device 60 having different vertical lengths, the versatility of the adapter 100 is enhanced.

また、全ての雌ネジ部３０を第１部品１０に設けることにより、第１部品１０に第２部品２０をネジ止め固定する前に、換言するとアダプター１００でレーダー装置６０を保持する前に、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整できる。すなわち、アダプター１００でレーダー装置６０を保持する前の状態と、アダプター１００でレーダー装置６０を保持した後の状態との双方で、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整できる。このため、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度の調整作業が容易となる。なお、全ての雌ネジ部３０が第２部品２０に設けられていても、同様の効果を得ることができる。 Further, by providing all the female screw portions 30 on the first component 10, before the second component 20 is screwed and fixed to the first component 10, in other words, before the radar device 60 is held by the adapter 100, The angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting part of can be adjusted. That is, the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle can be adjusted in both the state before the radar device 60 is held by the adapter 100 and the state after the radar device 60 is held by the adapter 100. Therefore, the adjustment work of the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle becomes easy. Even if all the female screw portions 30 are provided in the second component 20, the same effect can be obtained.

また、本実施の形態に係るアダプター１００においては、雌ネジ部３０に調整ボルト４０が取り付けられた際、調整ボルト４０のそれぞれは、レーダー装置６０の外周側に配置される。このような構成とすることにより、アダプター１００でレーダー装置６０を保持する前の状態と、アダプター１００でレーダー装置６０を保持した後の状態との双方で、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整できる。このため、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度の調整作業が容易となる。 In addition, in adapter 100 according to the present embodiment, when adjustment bolts 40 are attached to female screw portion 30, each adjustment bolt 40 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of radar device 60. With such a configuration, the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle can be adjusted in both the state before the adapter 100 holds the radar device 60 and the state after the adapter 100 holds the radar device 60. Can be adjusted. Therefore, the adjustment work of the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle becomes easy.

また、本実施の形態に係るアダプター１００には、車両の取付部の貫通穴に挿入された固定用ボルトがねじ込まれる固定用雌ネジ部３１が形成されている。このため、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整する必要がない場合、調整ボルト４０を用いずに、アダプター１００を車両の取付部に取り付けることができる。このため、本実施の形態に係るアダプター１００は、車両の取付部に対するアダプター１００の角度を調整する必要がない場合、固定用雌ネジ部３１が形成されていないアダプターと比べ、小型化することができる。すなわち、アダプター１００及びレーダー装置６０の取り付けが容易となる。なお、固定用雌ネジ部３１の数は特に限定されないが、本実施の形態では、３つの固定用雌ネジ部３１が形成されている。 Further, the adapter 100 according to the present embodiment is provided with the fixing female screw portion 31 into which the fixing bolt inserted into the through hole of the mounting portion of the vehicle is screwed. Therefore, when it is not necessary to adjust the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle, the adapter 100 can be mounted to the mounting portion of the vehicle without using the adjusting bolt 40. For this reason, the adapter 100 according to the present embodiment can be made smaller than the adapter in which the fixing female screw portion 31 is not formed when it is not necessary to adjust the angle of the adapter 100 with respect to the mounting portion of the vehicle. it can. That is, the adapter 100 and the radar device 60 can be easily attached. The number of fixing female screw portions 31 is not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, three fixing female screw portions 31 are formed.

また、本実施の形態に係るアダプター１００は、全ての固定用雌ネジ部３１が第１部品１０に形成されている。このため、アダプター１００でレーダー装置６０を保持する前の状態と、アダプター１００でレーダー装置６０を保持した後の状態との双方で、アダプター１００を車両の取付部に取り付けることができる。したがって、車両の取付部へのアダプター１００の取り付けがさらに容易となる。 Further, in the adapter 100 according to the present embodiment, all fixing female screw portions 31 are formed on the first component 10. Therefore, the adapter 100 can be attached to the mounting portion of the vehicle both in a state before the adapter 100 holds the radar device 60 and in a state after the adapter 100 holds the radar device 60. Therefore, the mounting of the adapter 100 on the mounting portion of the vehicle becomes easier.
