Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a vehicle audio device such as a car radio in an electric component mounted on a car.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, an instrument panel 1 of an automobile is provided with instruments 2 on the driver's side, and a car radio is provided in the center for easy operation by a driver or an assistant. 3 is attached. The operation switches of the car radio 3 are arranged at the same position as the surface of the instrument panel 1. The instrument 2 is not removed, but the car radio 3 may be replaced as desired. At this time, two operations of fixing to the instrument panel 1 and making a wiring connection are performed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the car radio 3 is fixed by fixing a bracket 4 to the rear portion of the car radio 3 and fixing the bracket 4 to the vehicle body side bracket 5 by screwing. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, there is a car radio 3 provided with a projection 6 formed of synthetic resin on the rear portion thereof and a hole 7 for fitting the projection 6 formed in the vehicle body side bracket 5. In this case, the workability is better than the screw tightening shown in FIG. In addition to this, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-203845 discloses that a hook is formed on the side surface of a car radio, a spring is arranged on the vehicle body side, and these are fixed by engaging them.

As for wiring connection, as shown in FIG. 7, lead wires 8, 8 floating in the air are connected by connectors 9, 9 or, as described in the publication, a connector is provided on the front of a car radio. There is also one that is fixed and connected at this part.

[0005]

However, in the structure shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, although the installation is easy, the wiring work for the wiring of the car radio 3 connects the lead wires 8, 8 floating in the air. Therefore, there is a problem that efficiency is not improved because the work space is small and the work space is small and the workability is poor. It should be noted that, in the car radio 3 described in the publication, a lead wire or the like protruding from the front surface is functional, and the lead wire or the like may be an obstacle.

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure for a vehicle audio device which can be easily fixed and connected.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a wiring in which a vehicle body side bracket is positioned in a recess provided in an instrument panel surface and an audio device is firmly connected to the vehicle body side bracket. And a connector for connecting to the wiring connector is provided at the rear of the audio device.

[0008]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to insert the audio device into the concave portion of the instrument panel surface and connect the connector of the audio device to the wiring connector fixed to the vehicle body side bracket. Thus, the mounting work of the audio device and the wiring work can be performed at the same time.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a recess 10 is provided on the surface of an instrument panel 1 into which a car radio 3 as an audio device can be inserted, and wiring is provided on a vehicle body side bracket 5 fixed to the back of the recess 10. The connector 11 is attached. In addition, a connector 12 that is connected to the wiring connector 11 is provided at the rear of the car radio 3.

The wiring connector 11 is inserted into the hole 13 of the vehicle body side bracket 5 and fixed on both sides thereof with bolts 14 and nuts 15. A plurality of insertion holes 17 for the pins 16 are formed in the wiring connector 11, an annular groove 18 is formed around the insertion hole 17, and a guide plate 19 is fixed around the annular groove 18. A plurality of pins 16 are projected on the connector 12 of the car radio 3, and an annular guide plate 20 into which a mold having an insertion hole 17 for the wiring connector 11 is fitted is fixed around the pins 16. As shown in FIG. 3, a projection 21 may be provided to align the guide plates 19 and 20 with each other, and the insertion hole 17 of the predetermined pin 16 may be closed. Further, it is convenient which of the wiring connector 11 and the connector 12 is the pin side.

Therefore, the car radio 3 is inserted into the recess 10 provided on the surface of the instrument panel 1, and the connector is inserted.
12 guide plates 20 are fitted along the grooves 18 of the wiring connector 11. At this time, the guide plate 19 of the wiring connector 11 functions as a guide at the time of inserting the connector and preventing play after the insertion. In this way, while supporting the rear of the radio,
Electrical wiring can be performed at the same time. Note that the guide plates 19 and 20 do not have to be ring-shaped.

[0012]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the fixing work and the wiring work can be performed at one time only by inserting the audio device in a predetermined position, so that the workability is improved. In addition, since wirings can be processed in advance, wiring processing after connection is unnecessary, and problems such as contact with other parts and pinching are eliminated. further,
Not only can it be installed, but it can also be easily detached for replacement and repair.
