JP 2001-294089 A

  By the way, in recent years, a module body such as a lamp for illuminating a foot or a photographing camera is being provided as a standard under the mirror base door mirror main body side connecting portion.

  The harness pulled out from the module body is relatively thin compared to the harness of the door mirror main unit.

  As a procedure for assembling the vehicle door mirror device, first, the door mirror body is set on an assembly jig, the door mirror body side connecting portion of the mirror base is placed on the door mirror body, and the mirror base is attached with a bolt or the like.

  Next, a module body such as a lamp or a photographing camera for illuminating the foot is attached to the door mirror main body side connecting portion of the mirror base.

  Therefore, after the thick harness of the door mirror body side unit is inserted into one hole provided in the mirror base door mirror body side connecting portion, the thin harness of the module body must be inserted into the remaining space of this one hole. I must.

  Since these harnesses are bundled with, for example, a sponge member, they become thicker.

  Therefore, when the thin harness of this module body is inserted into the remaining space of this one hole, it is difficult to insert it by deforming in an irregular direction by abutting against the thick harness of the door mirror body side unit that is irregularly bent. The worker was troublesome to assemble the vehicle door mirror device.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle door mirror device in which a harness can be easily inserted and assembly work efficiency is high.

  In order to achieve the above object, a vehicle door mirror device according to the present invention includes a door mirror main body having a door mirror main body side unit electrically connected to the vehicle via a harness, and a vehicle side connection connected to the vehicle. And a mirror base core material having a door mirror main body side connecting portion to which the door mirror main body is connected to the upper side, and the mirror base core material is designed to cover the door mirror main body in cooperation with the mirror base core material A mirror base composed of a mirror base cover material that forms a hole for harness insertion that communicates the side connecting portion and the vehicle side connecting portion side, and is attached to the lower side of the door mirror main body side connecting portion of the mirror base. A module body having a harness, wherein the hole for inserting the harness is partitioned by a substantially horizontal partition portion, and the partition portion Upper holes are the harness insertion of the door mirror main body side unit, the lower hole of the partition portion is characterized in that there is a harness insertion of the module body.

  Here, the insertion opening of the hole for inserting the harness of the module body may be smaller than the insertion opening of the hole for inserting the harness of the door mirror main body side unit.

  Moreover, it is good for the lower surface of the said door mirror main body side connection part to form the protruding item | line which presses the upper surface of the said module body.

  Furthermore, the door mirror main body side connecting portion of the mirror base allows a harness connector portion loose fitting hole into which the harness connector portion of the module body is fitted, and the door mirror main body side unit and the harness of the module body are allowed to bend. It is preferable that a harness bending allowance hole to be formed communicates with a harness insertion hole of the door mirror main body side unit and a harness insertion hole of the module body.

  Such a vehicle door mirror device of the present invention is provided with a hole for inserting a harness that communicates the door mirror main body side connecting portion and the vehicle side connecting portion side, and the hole for inserting the harness is a substantially horizontal partition portion. The hole on the upper side of the partition part is for inserting a harness of the door mirror main body side unit, and the hole on the lower side of the partition part is for inserting a harness of the module body.

  According to this configuration, since the partition portion serves as a guide wall, the thin harness of the module body can be smoothly inserted without being obstructed by the thick harness of the door mirror main unit, so that the vehicle door mirror device can be assembled with high work efficiency. be able to.

  Here, when the insertion port of the hole for inserting the harness of the module body is made smaller than the insertion port of the hole for inserting the harness of the door mirror main body side unit, the door mirror is disposed above the door mirror main body side connecting portion of the mirror base. When connecting the main body, there is no risk of accidentally inserting the thick harness of the door mirror main body side unit into the insertion hole of the hole for inserting the harness of the module body, so that it is possible to assemble the electric door mirror device for vehicles more efficiently. it can.

  Moreover, when the protrusion which presses the upper surface of a module body is formed in the lower surface of the door mirror main body side connection part, position shift of the lamp module etc. which comprise a module body can be prevented with the pressing force.

  Furthermore, a harness connector part loose fitting hole into which the harness connector part of the module body fits in the door mirror body side coupling part of the mirror base, and a harness bending allowance allowing the door mirror body side unit and the harness of the module body to be bent. When the hole is formed in communication with the harness insertion hole of the door mirror main body side unit and the harness insertion hole of the module body, the harness connector portion of the module body and the door mirror main body side unit and the harness of the module body Can be accommodated compactly.
