Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle interior component that is arranged in a vehicle interior.

Interior panels such as an instrument panel and a door panel are arranged in a vehicle interior of a general vehicle (see, for example, Patent Document 1). 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been proposed a lighting device for direct lighting or indirect lighting of a vehicle interior (see Patent Document 2, for example). At least part of these lighting devices are arranged behind the interior panel described above. Further, the lighting device has a light-emitting portion for illuminating the interior of the vehicle, and the light-emitting portion supplies light to the interior of the vehicle through an opening provided in the interior panel.

JP-A-2000-43614 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-151005

By the way, in order to suitably illuminate the interior of the vehicle with the lighting device, the relative positions of the interior panel and the lighting device need to be sufficiently positioned.
Here, in the embodiment of Patent Document 2, a groove portion 11c having a substantially U-shaped cross section is provided in the interior panel, specifically the instrument panel 1, and the light emitting portion, that is, the lighting member 51 is directly arranged inside the groove portion 11c. ing. A cover member 53 directly covers the opening of the groove portion 11c. According to such a technique, since the lighting member is directly attached to the position near the opening of the interior panel, it is possible to position both with relatively high accuracy.

On the other hand, however, when the light-emitting portion and the cover member are directly attached to the interior panel in this way, the number of man-hours required is very large, making it difficult to improve work efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs. There is

When the light-emitting part is housed in a case and mounted as a unit at a position near the opening of the interior panel, the work efficiency is higher than when the light-emitting part and the cover member are individually attached to the interior panel as described above. It is believed that this will improve the performance and reduce the cost required for manufacturing.

In this case, when attaching the case of the above unit to the interior panel, it is conceivable to fix both with some kind of fixture. Here, when using a spring-type fixing device represented by a clip, in other words, a fixing device using the elastic restoring force of a spring, the elastic force and elastic restoring force of the fixing device may cause And after attachment, the relative positions of the case and the opening can be changed. Therefore, when using the spring-type fixture, there is a problem that it is difficult to say that the opening and the case can be sufficiently positioned relative to each other.

As introduced in Patent Document 1, when using a non-spring-type fixture represented by a screw, in other words, when using a fixture that does not use the elastic restoring force of a spring, the above-described spring-type fixture is used. Compared to the case, relative positional changes between the opening of the interior panel and the case can be suppressed, and the opening and the case can be positioned relative to each other with a certain degree of accuracy.

However, even when the non-spring-type fasteners are used, there is a risk that the actual attachment position between the opening and the case may deviate from the intended position due to dimensional errors and elasticity of the interior panel and the case itself. There is Therefore, even in this case, it is very difficult to precisely position the opening of the interior panel and the case.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object to be solved is to provide a technique capable of improving the positioning accuracy between the opening of the interior panel and the case.

The vehicle interior parts of the present invention for solving the above problems are
an interior panel having an opening and facing the front side into the vehicle interior;
a lighting device having a light-emitting portion and a case that accommodates the light-emitting portion and is arranged at a position at least partially facing the opening, and that is attached to the back side of the interior panel;
a non-spring-loaded fastener that secures the case and the interior panel together;
The interior panel has a panel-side guide portion arranged at the peripheral edge of the opening and protruding to the back side,
the case has a case-side guide portion arranged at a position corresponding to the panel-side guide portion and projecting to the front side;
The panel-side guide portion has a panel-side inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the mounting direction of the case with respect to the interior panel,
The case-side guide portion has a case-side inclined surface complementary to the panel-side inclined surface,
An interior component for a vehicle, wherein when the case is attached to the interior panel, the case-side inclined surface slides relatively on the panel-side inclined surface so that the case and the opening are positioned. be.

According to the vehicle interior component of the present invention, it is possible to improve the positioning accuracy between the opening of the interior panel and the case.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view schematically showing the vehicle interior component of Example 1; FIG. 2 is an explanatory view schematically showing how the vehicle interior component of Example 1 is cut in the front-to-back direction. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the positional relationship among the opening of the interior panel, the edge of the case, the panel-side slant surface, and the case-side slant surface in the vehicle interior product of Example 1;

The vehicle interior trim of the present invention comprises an interior panel, a lighting device and a non-spring-loaded fastener. The lighting device has a light-emitting portion and a case that houses the light-emitting portion, and at least a part of the case is arranged at a position facing the opening in the interior panel. Therefore, in the vehicle interior product of the present invention, the light-emitting portion and the case can be treated as a unit, and the cost of attaching the lighting device to the interior panel can be reduced.

In the vehicle interior fitting of the present invention, the fixture that secures the case and the interior panel to each other is non-spring type. Further, the interior panel and the case are positioned at the peripheral edge of the opening by the panel-side guide part arranged at the peripheral edge part of the opening and the case-side guide part arranged at a position corresponding to the panel-side guide part. be. More specifically, when the case is attached to the interior panel, the case and the opening are positioned by relatively sliding the case-side inclined surface on the panel-side inclined surface.
Thus, according to the vehicle interior component of the present invention, it is possible to improve the positioning accuracy between the opening of the interior panel and the case.

Hereinafter, the vehicle interior trim of the present invention will be described for each component. Unless otherwise specified, the numerical range "a to b" described in this specification includes the lower limit a and the upper limit b. Further, the numerical range can be configured by arbitrarily combining these upper and lower limits, and the numerical values listed in Examples, Reference Examples, and the like. Furthermore, numerical values arbitrarily selected from within the numerical range can be used as upper and lower numerical values.

The front side of the interior panel in the vehicle interior product of the present invention faces the interior of the vehicle. A lighting device is arranged on the back side of the interior panel. Examples of such interior panels include instrument panels and door panels for vehicles.
Here, the front side of the interior panel means the side of the interior panel attached to the vehicle that is located on the interior side of the vehicle, and the back side is the opposite side, that is, the interior panel that is attached to the vehicle on the exterior side of the vehicle. means the side on which it is located. Similarly, with respect to the other components of the vehicle interior fitting of the present invention, the side located inside the vehicle interior when attached to the vehicle is called the front side, and the opposite side is called the back side. Further, various directions to be described later refer to various directions in a state where the vehicle interior component of the present application is attached to the vehicle.

The interior panel has an opening. The opening only needs to connect the front side and the back side of the interior panel, and may be, for example, a through hole that penetrates the interior panel in the front-to-back direction. When the interior panel is composed of a plurality of panels, the gaps between adjacent panels may be treated as openings.
The interior panel has a panel-side guide portion on the periphery of the opening. The panel-side guide portion will be described later.

The lighting device has a light emitting section and a case. The light emitting unit is a part of the lighting device that illuminates the interior of the vehicle with the light emitted from the light source. Such a light emitting part may be the light source itself, or may be a light guide that guides the light emitted from the light source to a position away from the light source.

Examples of specific light sources include various light sources such as LEDs, incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps, and organic EL elements, but are not particularly limited in the vehicle interior parts of the present invention.

The light guide is made of a material that allows light to pass through, typified by transparent resin such as acrylic resin and polycarbonate. The shape of the light guide is not particularly limited, but may be a shape that can guide light to a position distant from the light source, such as a rod shape or a plate shape. The light guide may have a reflecting surface having an uneven shape on a surface other than the light emitting surface. Furthermore, the reflecting surface may be provided with a reflecting layer that does not transmit light.

The light emitting part is housed in the case. For example, the case may contain only the light source, may contain only the light guide, or may contain both the light source and the light guide.
For the convenience of illuminating the interior of the vehicle with the light-emitting portion, at least the portion of the case arranged at a position facing the opening transmits light. In this specification, a portion of the case that is arranged at a position facing the opening and transmits light is referred to as a lens portion. The lens portion may be made of a material that can transmit light, and the material of the lens portion is not particularly limited. Considering the reduction in the manufacturing cost and the weight of the vehicle interior part of the present invention, it is preferable to use a transparent resin such as acrylic resin, polycarbonate, PET, or the like as the material of the lens portion.

A portion of the case other than the lens portion is referred to as a base portion. The lens portion and the base portion may be molded integrally, or may be molded separately and then combined and integrated.
The base portion may be light transmissive like the lens portion, but preferably has low or no light transmissivity in consideration of light loss. A colored or opaque resin material is preferably used as the material of the base portion. It is also preferable to provide a reflective layer on the surface of the light-emitting portion of the base portion.
The case has a case-side guide portion at a position corresponding to the panel-side guide portion of the interior panel. The case-side guide portion will be described later.

The fixture is a part for fixing the case and the interior panel to each other, and is non-spring type. "Non-spring type" refers to a fixing method that does not use the elastic restoring force of a spring, as described above. A method that does not generate a restoring force may be appropriately selected. In this case, screws, rivets, etc. correspond to non-spring-type fasteners. Furthermore, the case and the interior panel may be fixed by a method such as welding or adhesion, and this fixed portion may be regarded as a non-spring-type fixture.

It should be noted that, for example, when a bolt and nut are selected as the non-spring-type fastener, a spring washer may be interposed between the bolt and nut. In other words, the non-spring-type fixture may be used in combination with the spring-type fixture.

In the vehicle interior component of the present invention, the interior panel has a panel-side guide portion, and the case has a case-side guide portion.
As described above, the panel-side guide portion is arranged on the periphery of the opening in the interior panel and protrudes to the back side of the interior panel. Further, the case-side guide portion is arranged in the case at a position corresponding to the panel-side guide portion, and protrudes to the front side. Since the lighting device including the case is arranged on the back side of the interior panel, it can be said that the panel-side guide portion protrudes toward the case side and the case-side guide portion protrudes toward the interior panel side.

The panel-side guide portion has a panel-side inclined surface that is inclined in the mounting direction of the case with respect to the interior panel, and the case-side guide portion has a case-side inclined surface complementary to the panel-side inclined surface. When the case is attached to the interior panel, the case-side inclined surface slides relatively on the panel-side inclined surface, thereby positioning the case and the opening. Hereinafter, the mounting direction of the case with respect to the interior panel may be simply referred to as the mounting direction of the case as required.

In the vehicle interior component of the present invention, a mechanism for positioning the interior panel and the case relative to each other, that is, the panel-side guide portion and the case-side guide portion are provided at the peripheral portion of the opening. As a result, in the vehicle interior component of the present invention, the interior panel and the case can be positioned with high accuracy at the periphery of the opening, and the case can be positioned with respect to the opening with high accuracy.

In addition, both the case-side inclined surface and the panel-side inclined surface are surfaces that are inclined with respect to the mounting direction of the case, and when the case is attached to the interior panel, the case-side inclined surface faces the panel-side inclined surface. slippery. Therefore, the case and the opening are positioned not only with high accuracy in the mounting direction of the case, but also with high accuracy in the direction crossing the mounting direction of the case. Therefore, according to the vehicle interior part of the present invention, there is an advantage that the positional relationship between the edge of the opening and the outer edge of the case can be controlled with high accuracy.

Here, the outer edge of the case may be in contact with the edge of the opening. Preferably, the outer edge is inside the opening relative to the edge of the opening. In this case, a gap is formed between the outer edge of the case and the edge of the opening.

On the other hand, in this case, if the size of the gap, that is, the distance between the end of the opening and the outer edge of the case varies, the amount of light supplied to the interior of the vehicle through the opening also varies. If the variation is large, there is a risk that the design of the vehicle interior parts will be spoiled.

According to the vehicle interior part of the present invention, as described above, the positional relationship between the edge of the opening and the outer edge of the case can be controlled with high accuracy, so that the gap between the outer edge of the case and the edge of the opening can be adjusted to a desired size. There is an advantage that the amount of light supplied into the vehicle interior through the opening can be made sufficient without impairing the design of the vehicle interior parts.

The gap between the end of the opening and the outer edge of the case may be appropriately set to an appropriate size depending on the shape and size of the opening, the position of the light-emitting portion with respect to the opening, and the like. A suitable size of the gap can be exemplified within a range of 0.05 mm to 10 mm.

The interior panel in the vehicle interior product of the present invention may have only one panel-side guide portion, or may have a plurality of panel-side guide portions. Further, the panel-side guide portion may be arranged at the peripheral portion of the opening. For example, one panel-side guide portion may extend along the edge of the opening, or a plurality of panel-side guide portions may extend along the edge of the opening. They may be arranged along the edge of the opening. Furthermore, one panel-side guide portion may have only one panel-side inclined surface, or may have a plurality of panel-side inclined surfaces. The panel-side inclined surface may be a flat surface or a curved surface.

Similarly, the case in the vehicle interior component of the present invention may have a case-side inclined surface complementary to the panel-side inclined surface of the panel-side guide portion, and may have only one case-side guide portion. Alternatively, it may have a plurality of case-side guide portions. The "case-side inclined surface complementary to the panel-side inclined surface" means that the panel-side inclined surface and the case-side inclined surface are completely aligned when the case is attached to the interior panel, and that the case is attached to the interior panel. When the panel-side slanted surface and the case-side slanted surface approximately match each other when the

For example, when the panel-side inclined surface and the case-side inclined surface are flat surfaces, the inclination angle θ _P of the panel-side inclined surface and the inclination angle θ _C of the case-side inclined surface are preferably the same angle. If the difference between θ _P and the inclination angle θ _C of the case-side inclined surface is within 10°, it is permissible.
Alternatively, if the contact area between the panel-side inclined surface and the case-side inclined surface when the case is attached to the interior panel is within the range of 90% or more and less than 100%, the panel-side inclined surface and the case-side inclined surface can be regarded as roughly matching. The above percentages are percentages based on 100% of the contact area between the panel-side inclined surface and the case-side inclined surface when the panel-side inclined surface and the case-side inclined surface are completely aligned with each other.

Furthermore, the panel-side _inclined surface may be inclined with respect to the mounting direction of the case, and the inclination angle, that is, the inclination angle θ _P is not particularly limited. Within the range can be exemplified.

When the fasteners described above are screws, bolts, rivets, etc., which are inserted into the case and/or the interior panel, the panel-side inclined surface is also inclined with respect to the axial direction of the fasteners such as screws. is preferred. The inclination angle _θAP of the panel-side inclined surface with respect to the axial direction of the fixture is preferably in the range of 1° or more and 10° or less. The axial direction of the fixture is preferably parallel to the mounting direction of the case, and the inclination angle θ _AP and the inclination angle θ _P are preferably the same.

In addition, the peripheral portion of the opening described above can also be rephrased as a region of the interior panel that is 50 mm or less from the edge of the opening. That is, it can be said that the distance from the edge of the opening to the panel-side guide portion is 50 mm or less. The distance is preferably 30 mm or less, particularly preferably 10 mm or less.

Hereinafter, the vehicle interior parts of the present invention will be described with reference to specific examples.

The case 7 is arranged on the back side of the interior panel 4 with the light emitting part 30 accommodated therein.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the LED light source 35 of the light emitting section 30 is arranged on the right end side of the interior panel 4 . The light guide 36 is made of polycarbonate, and is arranged on the back side of the interior panel 4 at a position facing the gap between the upper panel 50 and the lower panel 60, that is, the opening 45 . More specifically, the light guide 36 extends substantially in the horizontal direction along the opening 45 on the front side of the opening 45 . The right end of the light guide 36 is arranged to the left of the LED light source 35, and the light emitted from the LED light source 35 enters the light guide 36 and is guided leftward.

As shown in FIG. 2, the case 7 is formed by combining a lens portion 71 made of polycarbonate, which is a transparent resin, and a colored base portion 75 made of polycarbonate mixed with black pigment. The case 7 has the lens portion 71 directed substantially upward and the base portion 75 directed substantially downward. Note that the lens portion 71 and the base portion 75 are engaged with each other by an unillustrated engaging portion and integrated.
The case 7 has a long box shape extending left and right along the opening 45 shown in FIG.

A lens portion 71 of the case 7 is provided with a case-side guide portion 72 . The case-side guide portion 72 protrudes from the surface of the lens portion 71 on the opening 45 side to the front side, more specifically, to the rear side and to the upper side.

A case-side fastening seat portion 76 is provided on the base portion 75 of the case 7 . The case-side fastening seat portion 76 protrudes further rearward and downward from the front surface of the base portion 75, that is, the rear surface shown in FIG. A through-hole 77 through which the fixture 2 passes is provided in the case-side fastening seat portion 76 .

As shown in FIG. 3, the mounting direction A of the case 7 with respect to the interior panel 4 is the direction from the front and lower side to the rear and upper side. The mounting direction A of the case 7 is parallel to the axis a of the fixture 2 . Note that the axis a of the fixture intersects the vehicle longitudinal direction at an angle of 45°. Accordingly, the mounting direction A of the case 7 also intersects the vehicle longitudinal direction at 45°.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the panel-side guide portion 61 of the interior panel 4 has a substantially V-shaped groove. The groove is open forward and downward, and the groove wall is inclined with respect to the mounting direction A of the case 7 . In other words, the panel-side guide portion 61 in the vehicle interior component 1 of Example 1 has two panel-side inclined surfaces 62 (see FIG. 3). Hereinafter, one of the two panel-side inclined surfaces 62 will be referred to as a first panel-side inclined surface 62f, and the other will be referred to as a second panel-side inclined surface 62s. The first panel-side inclined surface 62f is located above the second panel-side inclined surface 62s.

The inclination angle θ _P1 of the first panel-side inclined surface 62f with respect to the mounting direction A of the case 7 is about 6°, and the inclination angle θ _P2 of the second panel-side inclined surface 62s with respect to the mounting direction A of the case 7 is about 5°. be.

2 and 3, the case-side guide portion 72 of the lens portion 71 is tapered toward its projecting end. Both the upper surface and the lower surface of the tapered case-side guide portion 72 are inclined with respect to the mounting direction A of the case 7 . That is, the case-side guide portion 72 in the vehicle interior component 1 of Example 1 has two case-side inclined surfaces 73 (see FIG. 3). Hereinafter, one of the two case-side inclined surfaces 73 will be referred to as a first case-side inclined surface 73f, and the other will be referred to as a second case-side inclined surface 73s. The first case-side inclined surface 73f is located above the second case-side inclined surface 73s.

The inclination angle θ _C1 of the first case-side inclined surface 73f with respect to the mounting direction A of the case 7 is about 6°, and substantially coincides with the inclination angle θ _P1 of the first panel-side inclined surface 62f. Further, the inclination angle θ _C2 of the second case-side inclined surface 73s with respect to the mounting direction A of the case 7 is about 5°, and substantially coincides with the inclination angle θ _P2 of the second panel-side inclined surface 62s. That is, the first case-side inclined surface 73f and the first panel-side inclined surface 62f form a pair, and the second case-side inclined surface 73s and the second panel-side inclined surface 62s also form a pair.

When attaching the case 7 of the vehicle interior product 1 of Example 1 to the interior panel 4, first, the case 7 is arranged on the front side and the lower side of the interior panel 4, and then along the attachment direction A shown in FIG. to change the position of the case 7 rearward and upward.
Then, the case-side guide portion 72 is inserted into the groove of the panel-side guide portion 61, the first case-side inclined surface 73f slides on the first panel-side inclined surface 62f, and the second case-side inclined surface 73s slides on the second panel. It slides on the side inclined surface 62s.

In the vehicle interior component 1 of Embodiment 1, the first panel-side inclined surface 62f, the first case-side inclined surface 73f, the second panel-side inclined surface 62s, and the second case-side inclined surface 73s are arranged in the mounting direction of the case 7. It is tilted with respect to A. Therefore, when the case 7 is attached to the case 7 and the interior panel 4, the first case-side inclined surface 73f slides on the first panel-side inclined surface 62f, and the second case-side inclined surface 73s is inclined to the second panel side. By sliding on the surface 62s, they are guided into their proper positions relative to each other. As a result, the case 7 and the interior panel 4 are positioned with high accuracy.

Further, since both the first panel-side inclined surface 62 f and the second panel-side inclined surface 62 s are arranged at the peripheral edge of the opening 45 , the case 7 can be positioned very close to the opening 45 with respect to the interior panel 4 . done. As a result, the positional relationship between the edge 45e of the opening 45 and the outer edge 7e of the case 7 can be controlled with high accuracy, and the gap g (see FIG. 3) between the edge 45e of the opening 45 and the outer edge 7e of the case 7 can be adjusted to a desired size. can be done.

Furthermore, in the vehicle interior component 1 of Example 1, the first panel side inclined surface 62f, the first case side inclined surface 73f, the second panel side inclined surface 62s, and the second case side inclined surface 73s is also inclined with respect to the direction of the axis a. For this reason, even when the case 7 and the interior panel 4 are fastened by the fixture 2, the first case-side inclined surface 73f slides on the first panel-side inclined surface 62f, and the second case-side inclined surface 73s slides on the second case-side inclined surface 73s. By sliding on the panel-side inclined surface 62s, they are guided to appropriate positions.

Furthermore, in the vehicle interior component 1 of Example 1, the direction of the axis a of the fixture 2, that is, the direction A in which the case 7 is attached to the interior panel 4 intersects the vehicle front-rear direction at 45°. Therefore, when the case 7 and the interior panel 4 are attached, the positions of the case 7 and the interior panel 4 are regulated in two directions, i.e., the longitudinal direction and the vertical direction of the vehicle, and are guided to appropriate positions relative to each other.

In the vehicle interior product 1 of the first embodiment, the case 7 and the interior panel 4 are positioned with high precision by these cooperation, and the gap g between the end 45e of the opening 45 and the outer edge 7e of the case 7 is reduced. The size is also controlled with high precision.

In the vehicle interior component 1 of Example 1, the case-side guide portion 72 is provided in the lens portion 71 of the case 7 . The lens portion 71 is a portion of the case 7 adjacent to the opening 45 , and the distance between the outer edge 7 e of the case 7 and the edge 45 e of the opening 45 is substantially the same as the outer edge of the lens portion 71 and the edge 45 e of the opening 45 . is the distance of By providing the lens portion 71 with the case-side guide portion 72, the outer edge 7e of the case 7, that is, the outer edge of the lens portion 71 can be directly positioned with respect to the opening 45. There is an advantage that the size of the gap g between 45e and the outer edge 7e of the case 7 can be controlled with higher accuracy. In other words, in the first embodiment, by providing the case-side guide portion 72 in the lens portion 71 positioned near the opening 45 in the case 7, the outer edge 7e of the case 7 and the edge 45e of the opening 45 are more closely aligned. It can be said that the positioning can be performed precisely, and as a result, the size of the gap g between the edge 45e of the opening 45 and the outer edge 7e of the case 7 can be controlled with high precision.

In addition, in the vehicle interior component 1 of the present invention, the case-side guide portion 72 may be provided on the base portion 75 of the case 7 . In this case, the outer edge 7 e of the case 7 , that is, the outer edge of the lens portion 71 is indirectly positioned with respect to the opening 45 via the base portion 75 . Therefore, in this case, even if a force acts on the outer edge of the lens portion 71 and the end 45e of the opening 45 in the direction of approaching each other due to, for example, a dimensional error of the interior panel 4 or the case 7, the base portion 75 will not move. The slight bending and the slight bending of the lens portion 71 have the advantage that the force can be relaxed.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the scope of the invention. Moreover, each component shown in this specification including the embodiments can be arbitrarily extracted and combined for implementation.
