JP 2010-288363 A

When attaching a surveillance camera for photographing the periphery of a vehicle to an opening / closing body such as a charging port lid described in Patent Document 1, for example, in order to ensure maintenance of the surveillance camera, the surveillance camera is fixed at an easily removable position. If this happens, the anti-theft property will be impaired.
On the other hand, in order to ensure the security of the surveillance camera, for example, if the surveillance camera is fixed at a position that is difficult to remove, the surveillance camera can be removed from the opening / closing body, such as when the surveillance camera is repaired or maintenance is performed. When it is necessary to remove, it is difficult to remove.
In other words, there is a problem that the security property of the surveillance camera and the maintenance property of the surveillance camera are in a trade-off relationship with each other and it is difficult to achieve both.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above problem, and provides an in-vehicle camera mounting structure that achieves both the anti-theft performance of the surveillance camera attached to the opening / closing body on the outer surface of the vehicle body and the maintenance performance of the surveillance camera. With the goal.

In order to achieve the above object, the mounting structure of the in-vehicle camera according to the present invention attaches a monitoring camera for photographing the periphery of the vehicle to the opening / closing body disposed at the outer surface position of the vehicle body.
The opening / closing body is a charging port lid that covers the charging port so as to be opened and closed.
In this in-vehicle camera mounting structure, the vehicle body is provided with an opening / closing body locking mechanism that locks the vehicle in a fully closed position when the opening / closing body is closed.
The opening / closing body includes an outer panel disposed on the outer side and an inner panel disposed on the inner side of the outer panel.
The surveillance camera has a camera body portion and a camera lens portion.
A lens opening is provided in the outer panel to expose the camera lens portion toward the vehicle periphery.
The camera body is arranged at a position of a panel space formed by the outer panel and the inner panel.
With open front Symbol closing member such that said detachable in operation from the opening and closing member back surface side is the inner of the inner panel, and fixing the camera body from the opening and closing body back side to the inner panel.

Therefore, when the opening / closing body is closed and separated from the vehicle, the opening / closing body is closed and locked in the fully closed position by the opening / closing body locking mechanism. Therefore, when trying to steal a vehicle-mounted surveillance camera from the outside, it is necessary to forcibly remove the outer panel of the opening / closing body by breaking or the like and to release the fixation of the surveillance camera. However, the camera body is fixed so that it cannot be unlocked unless it is operated from the back side of the opening / closing body with the opening / closing body opened. For this reason, when the outer panel of the opening / closing body is removed, the surveillance camera arranged in the panel space can be visually recognized, but it is difficult to unlock the surveillance camera. In other words, even when viewed from the outside with the outer panel removed from the closed / closed opening / closing body, the fixed part of the camera body is hidden behind the inner panel, so the fixed part of the camera body is accessed. The security of the surveillance camera is guaranteed.
On the other hand, when the inspection camera is inspected, repaired, or replaced, the closing lock by the opening / closing body locking mechanism is released to open the opening / closing body. Then, by releasing the fixation by an operation from the back side of the opening / closing body with the opening / closing body opened, the monitoring camera can be easily detached from the opening / closing body, and the maintenance performance of the monitoring camera is ensured.
As described above, the camera body is configured to be fixed to the inner panel so as to be detachable by operating from the back side of the opening / closing body with the opening / closing body opened, so that the surveillance camera attached to the opening / closing body on the outer surface of the vehicle body It is possible to achieve both anti-theft properties and maintainability of surveillance cameras.
