Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention is designed to attach car radios, car stereos, and other audio equipment to the car body. Regarding the mounting structure for mounting the device.

0002

[Conventional technology]

As a conventional mounting structure of this kind, for example, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, a car radio Attach the base 2a of the bracket 2 to the set screws 3 on both sides of the audio equipment 1, such as a It is fixed to the base 2a and is formed at the middle part of the rear end of the base 2a that protrudes rearward from the audio device 1. A U-shaped notch 4 is located deep inside the instrument panel of the vehicle body. A mounting piece 2b facing outward engages with the support bar 5 and is connected to the front end of the base 2a. , which overlapped with a part of the instrument panel 6 and was fixed with the setscrew 7. There is.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

In the conventional structure described above, when a car suddenly stops or in the unlikely event of a collision, If a human body or other object collides with the front of audio equipment 1, the impact load will affect the audio equipment. It is transmitted directly to the vehicle equipment 1, instrument panel 6, and other parts of the vehicle body. There is a risk that one of them may be damaged. In view of the above-mentioned problems of conventional technology, this invention has been developed to improve audio equipment. A part of the bracket that connects the audio equipment to the vehicle body when an impact load is applied. To the car body that can absorb part of the above impact load by plastic deformation. The purpose is to provide a mounting structure for audio equipment.

0004

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above purpose, the audio equipment mounting structure of the present invention is At one end of the base of the bracket, which is fixed to the side of the audio equipment, The folded part is plastically deformed when an impact load exceeding a specified value is applied. The vehicle is characterized in that a mounting piece is connected through the vehicle body support panel and the mounting piece is fixed to the vehicle body support panel. There is.

[0005]

[Effect]

If an impact load exceeding a predetermined value is applied to the audio equipment, the bracket may By plastically deforming and elongating the folded portion, at least a portion of the above impact load is absorbed. It is possible to prevent damage to the audio equipment itself, car body, etc. .

【Example】

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as the conventional ones shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0007] In the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a car radio, a car stereo, Attach the base 10a of the bracket 10 to the set screws 3 on both sides of the audio equipment 1 such as It is fixed to the middle part of the rear end of the base 10a that protrudes rearward from the audio device 1. The formed U-shaped notch 4 is shallowly engaged with the load support bar 5, and the base portion 10a is The front end undergoes plastic deformation when an impact load greater than a predetermined value is applied. From the outside through a pair of upper and lower folded parts 10b whose planar shape is U-shaped or U-shaped. A mounting piece 10c facing the instrument panel 6 is installed in a row, and this mounting piece 10c is It overlaps with a part of it and is fixed with a set screw 7. The space 11 is formed between the upper and lower folded parts 10b of the bracket 10. , the minimum load at which the upper and lower folded portions 10b undergo plastic deformation is made small, and the set value of the impact load is set. This is to maintain a low value. 12 is a line between the front edge of the audio device 1 and the front edge of the instrument panel 6. It is a cosmetic cover that is fitted between them so as to close the gap.

[0008] If the configuration is as in the first embodiment, a predetermined value or more will be placed on the front of the audio device 1. When the above impact load is applied, as shown in FIG. 10b plastically deforms and extends rearward, thereby connecting the base 10a and the audio device 1. The whole unit moves backward, at least a part of the above impact load is absorbed, and the audio equipment 1 Damage to the vehicle body and the like can be prevented.

[0009] FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the invention. In the second embodiment, the front end of the base 20a of the bracket 20 and the mounting piece 20c are In between, there is a U-shape in plan view with the vertical dimension the same as that of the base 20a and the mounting piece 20c. A folded part 20b having a shape is formed, and a vertical direction is formed in the middle part of this folded part 20b. A suitable number of slits 21 facing each other are provided at appropriate intervals. The other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

0010 The second embodiment has the same effects as the first embodiment. In addition to being able to , there is an advantage that the folded portion 20b is not easily damaged. Note that instead of the vertically facing slit 21, an appropriate number of horizontal slits (not shown) are used. ) may be provided on the folded portion 20b.

[0011]

[Effect of the idea]

As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, the folded portion of the bracket undergoes plastic deformation. shape to absorb at least part of the shock load applied to the audio equipment. This prevents damage to the audio equipment itself and the vehicle body. Moreover, the structure is simple and can be adapted to conventional structures by simply changing the bracket. Easy to apply.
