Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a mounting structure of a vehicle outside mirror.

[Conventional technology]

As a mounting structure of an outside mirror mounted on a truck, a structure disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 61-46257 or 62-54841 is known.

In the former invention, an outside mirror (hereinafter referred to as a "side mirror") is fixed to a bracket on the vehicle body side by bolting a stay end thereof so as to be rotatable in the vehicle longitudinal direction. In the latter conventional example, there is provided a side mirror of a vehicle in which a rotating shaft of a mirror arm to which a side mirror is attached is rotatably supported on a bracket. A spring that slidably and non-rotatably engages the disk cam with the rotating shaft, fixes the cam to the bracket opposite to the disk cam, and urges the disk cam to mesh with the fixed cam. It is characterized by having
Each of them has a check mechanism that can return the side mirror folded at the time of parking or the like to its original position during traveling and fix it.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Various types of rear bodies are used for trucks depending on the application, and the types of drivers who drive the trucks also vary, and depending on the driver, the position of the side mirror and the preference of the mirror angle are different. There is a demand for a mounting structure of a side mirror that can finely adjust a set position based on the above.

However, according to the conventional mounting structure as described above, the side mirror folded toward the vehicle body can be returned to the original set position by the check mechanism and fixed, but the set position of the side mirror according to the shape of the rear body and the driver's body type. However, there is a disadvantage that the fine adjustment cannot be performed even if the user wants to adjust.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a side mirror mounting structure capable of finely adjusting a set position of a side mirror according to a driver's body type or the like.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a mirror arm having an outside mirror attached to a check mechanism and a check ring in which a ridge formed on a fixed cam and a groove formed on a check ring engage. In the mounting structure of the vehicle outside mirror fixed to the vehicle body via the rotation angle fine adjustment means in which the serration formed on the bracket body and the serration formed on the bracket body, a fixed cam is fixed to the mirror arm, Fix the bolt that penetrates the bolt hole formed in the check ring and the bracket body, and fix the mirror arm with the washer and nut attached via a coil spring to the bolt insertion end side,
A coil spring, a washer, and a nut attached to a bolt insertion end are covered with the bracket body.

[Action]

According to the above configuration, the set position is changed by rotating the check mechanism and the rotation angle fine adjustment means engaged by the spring force of the coil spring. If it is necessary to adjust the position of the side mirror according to the shape of the rear body or the driver's body, etc., raise the fixed cam and check ring upward to check the check mechanism and serration where the ridge and groove engage. By adjusting the rotation angle of the rotation angle fine adjustment means with which is engaged, the set position of the side mirror is adjusted.

Also, a coil spring attached to the bolt insertion end,
By covering the washer and the nut with the bracket body, dust and the like hardly adhere to them.

〔Example〕

 Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a mirror arm having a side mirror 3 attached to one end thereof, and a disk having a cross-shaped ridge 5 formed on the back side at the other end of the mirror arm 1 as shown in FIG. The fixed cam 7 is fixedly mounted, and the fixed cam 7 is further fixed.
A bolt 11 that penetrates the bracket 9 is fixed to the back side of the bracket.

The bracket 9 includes a bracket body 17 attached to the front panel 15 via the plate 13 as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, and a check ring 19 formed on the surface with a groove 18 with which the ridge 5 is engaged. The serrations 17a and 19a that mesh with each other are formed between the bracket body 17 and the check ring 19.

Also, as shown in FIG. 3, a coil spring is inserted into the bolt 11 inserted into the bracket 9 in the bracket body 17.
A spring chamber 23 for mounting 21 is formed, the bolt 11 is inserted into the check ring 19 and the bolt hole 25 provided in the bracket body 17, and the ridge 5 of the fixed cam 7 is inserted into the groove 18 of the check ring 19. After the engagement, the coil spring 21, the washer 27 and the nut 29,
You can attach them in the order of 31. In addition, in FIG. 2, reference numeral 33 denotes a standard alignment mark provided on the serrations 17a and 19a.

In this embodiment, the mirror arm 1 is attached to the bracket 9 by the serration.
The bolt 11 is inserted into the bolt hole 25 of the bracket 9 with which the teeth 17a and 19a are meshed, and the ridge 5 and the groove 18 are engaged, so that the coil spring 21, the washer 27, the nut 29, and the nut 29 are inserted from the insertion end side of the bolt 11.
You only need to install 1 in order. And in this case, nut 29,
The spring force of the coil spring 21 changes with the additional tightening of 31,
Thereby, the engagement force between the ridge 5 and the groove 18 and the serrations 17a,
The engagement force of 19a will change.

In order to fold the mirror arm 1 toward the vehicle body as in parking, the fixed cam 7 is pulled upward against the spring force of the coil spring 21 as shown in FIG. When the combination is released, the mirror arm 1 can rotate toward the vehicle body. Then, when the mirror arm 1 is returned in the reverse direction during traveling, the side mirror 3 is fixed again at the initial set position by the check mechanism including the ridge 5, the groove 18, and the coil spring 21.

When it is necessary to adjust the set position of the side mirror 3 according to the shape of the rear body, the body shape of the driver, and the like, the check ring 19 is moved against the spring force of the coil spring 21 as shown in FIG. Pull it up and rotate it in the directions of arrows A and B to make serrations 17a and 1
Finely adjust the meshing of 9a for each notch and re-sell 17
If the teeth a and 19a are engaged, fine adjustment of the set position of the side mirror 3 is performed as shown in FIG.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to finely adjust the set position of the side mirror according to the driver's body shape and the shape of the rear body, in addition to the operation and effect of the conventional check mechanism, and secure a good rear view. It became.

In the above embodiment, the serration is used as the rotation angle fine adjustment means of the check ring. However, the present invention is not limited to such a structure.

[Effect of the invention]

As described above, according to the present invention, the mirror arm to which the outside mirror is attached is provided with a check mechanism in which the protrusion formed on the fixed cam and the groove formed on the check ring engage with each other, and a serration formed on the check ring. In a mounting structure of a vehicle outside mirror fixed to a vehicle body via a rotation angle fine adjusting means in which serrations formed on a bracket body are engaged, a fixed cam is fixed to the mirror arm, and a check ring is provided. A bolt that penetrates the bolt hole formed in the bracket body is fixed, and the mirror arm is fixed to the bolt insertion end side with a washer and a nut mounted via a coil spring. By moving
The set position is changed, and the set position of the side mirror is changed according to the driver's body shape, the shape of the rear body, and the like, thereby ensuring a good rear view.

Also, since the coil spring, washer and nut attached to the bolt insertion end were covered with the bracket body,
Dust and the like hardly adhere to the coil spring, washer, and nut mounted on the bolt insertion end, and the possibility of malfunction is reduced. Of course, there are effects such as an improved appearance.
