Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle steering member mounting structure.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 An example of this type of technology is shown in FIG. 6 (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-191577 or Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-127863). That is, the steering member 3 is arranged so as to extend over both side panels 2 of the vehicle body 1, the first bracket 5 is fixed to one of the steering members 3a, and the other is fixed to the other 3b of the steering member 3. And the second bracket 6. The first bracket 5 is fixed to a nut (not shown) of the side panel 2 with a bolt 4 screwed from the indoor IR side toward the outdoor OR side. The second bracket 6 is fixed to a nut (not shown) of the side panel 2 with a bolt 4 screwed from the vehicle rear RR toward the vehicle front FR.

After mounting the steering member 3 on the vehicle assembling line in this way, if an instrument panel (not shown) is also fixedly mounted on the steering member 3 at the assembling line, it is necessary to lengthen the assembling line. However, that much contributes to soaring costs.

Therefore, if an instrument panel (not shown) is fixedly installed on the steering member 3 on a sub line and then assembled on a vehicle body on an assembly line, the assembly line becomes shorter and the cost can be reduced. ..

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, after an instrument panel (not shown) is fixedly mounted on the steering member 3 in advance on the sub-line, the second bracket 6 is directed from the vehicle rear RR toward the vehicle front FR when assembling this on the vehicle body on the assembly line. When the bolt 4 is used for fixing, an opening for a mounting tool must be formed in the instrument panel, and improvement in design is desired.

Therefore, in order not to form the opening for the mounting tool, both the first and second brackets 5 and 6 are fixed by the bolt 4 from the indoor IR side toward the outdoor OR side. However, this structure requires a high dimensional accuracy between the side panels 2 of the vehicle body 1, which causes a cost increase. Further, if the first and second brackets 5 and 6 are attached to the vehicle body 1 by force, both side panels 2 of the vehicle body 1 or the instrument panel may be deformed.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a steering member mounting structure for a vehicle that enables both the first and second brackets to be fixedly installed in the lateral direction of the vehicle without increasing the vehicle body accuracy. It is a thing.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the vehicle steering member mounting structure of the present invention, the steering member has one side panel fixed to one side panel in advance through the first bracket, and the other side steering panel to the other side panel. The second bracket, which is arranged in close proximity, includes a base bracket protruding from the other side of the steering member and a support bracket fixed to the indoor side of the base bracket. When the nut fixed to the side panel is screwed with a bolt inserted from the other side of the side panel to the inside of the room, the other side of the side panel is connected to the inside of the side panel through the opening formed in the base bracket. It is characterized by being directly fixed.

[0009]

[Work]

 According to this structure, one of the steering members is fixed by previously fixing the first bracket from the indoor side to the outdoor side, and then the bolt is inserted from the outdoor side to the indoor side and screwed. It is fixed by pulling the second bracket to the outside of the room. Therefore, it is possible to fix the vehicle laterally.

[0010]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5, the steering member 3 and the steering member 3 are arranged so as to extend over the inner panels 2a of both side panels 2 of the vehicle body 1 and the other side 3b is arranged in the vicinity of the inner panel 2a. The first bracket 5 is fixed to one side 3a in advance, and the second bracket 10 is fixed to the other side 3b of the steering member 3. Reference numerals 2b and 2c are an outer panel and a sound insulating material of the side panel 2.

The first bracket 5 is fixed to the nut 4 a of the side panel 2 by a bolt 4 screwed toward the outdoor IR side from the indoor IR side. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the second bracket 10 is fixed to the base bracket 11 extending from the other side 3b of the steering member 3 and a welding SW on the indoor IR side of the base bracket 11. The support bracket 12 is included.

The support bracket 12 is welded SW to the base bracket 11 and has upper and lower ends 12a and 12b, a separation portion 12c arranged at a position separated toward the room IR side of the base bracket 11, and the separation portion. A portion 12d formed so as to enter the opening 15 formed in the base bracket 11 from 12c, and a nut 13 fixedly provided on the indoor side IR side of the portion 12d. The dimensions of the opening 15 and the portion 12d that fits into the opening 15 are such that they can be pressed into each other. A gap A is provided between the base bracket 11 of the second bracket 10 and the inner panel 2a of the side panel 2 as shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the first bracket 5 is fixed in advance from the indoor IR side toward the outdoor OR side, so that one side 3a of the steering member 3 is fixed. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the bolt 14 is inserted from the outdoor OR side of the other side 2A of the side panel 2 by the indoor IR side and screwed into the bolt 14 so that the inside of the opening 15 of the base bracket 11 shown in FIG. The portion 12d formed so as to enter is drawn into the outdoor OR side (arrow), and the fixing is completed as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to fix the vehicle laterally.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, as a vehicle steering member mounting structure, the steering member includes a side panel in which one of the steering members is fixed to one of the side panels in advance through the first bracket. The other of the steering members is arranged in the vicinity of the other of the steering members, and the second bracket includes a base bracket protruding from the other of the steering member and a support bracket fixed to the indoor side of the base bracket. When the nut fixed to the indoor side of the support bracket is screwed by a bolt inserted from the other side of the side panel to the inside of the room, the other side panel is inserted through the opening formed in the base bracket. It is characterized in that it is directly fixed to the indoor surface of the, so that the first bracket is previously installed from the indoor side. One of the steering members is fixed by being fixed to the outside, and then the second bracket is pulled to the outside by inserting a bolt from the outside to the inside and screwing it in. This has the practical effect of allowing both the first and second brackets to be fixed in the lateral direction of the vehicle without producing the accuracy of the vehicle body.
