A structure for mounting a connector for connecting wiring to the back side of a lamp, comprising: a backup lamp mounting part to which the lamp bulb for the backup lamp is mounted; and a connector mounting part for mounting the connector to the back side of the lamp, wherein the backup lamp The mounting portion is formed integrally with the back surface of the lamp and includes a fixed boss portion having a screw locking hole in the central portion thereof, and a valve support plate fixed to the fixed boss portion with a single screw, The connector mounting portion is integrally formed on the back surface of the lamp and continuously on the fixing boss portion, and locking projections and The support box includes a support boss portion having a stopper wall, and a support box portion having locking plate portions having communication holes formed on both sides thereof, the support box portion being engaged with the support boss portion to fit and support the connector. The locking projection of the support boss is fitted in the communication hole of the locking plate of the locking section, and the locking plate is supported by the stopper wall, and the locking is fitted in one of the locking projections. The support box portion is fixed by mounting the valve support plate so as to cover the plate portion.

<< Operation >> In the connector mounting structure for a vehicle lamp having the above-described configuration, by fixing the valve support plate to the fixed boss portion with one screw, the support box portion fitted and supported by the support boss portion is pressed and supported. Fix it. As a result, the work for fixing each member is simplified and the workability is improved.

<< Embodiment >> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The connector mounting structure of the vehicular lamp of the present invention is almost the same as the above-mentioned conventional connector mounting structure.
As shown in FIG. 3, a tail stop lamp 21 and a dummy portion 22 are provided on the upper side, and a turn signal lamp 23 and a backup lamp 24 are provided on the lower side.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the lamp bulbs 26, 27 of the tail stop lamp 21 and the turn signal lamp 23 of this vehicle lamp are inflated at the respective lamps 21, 23 on the rear surface of the lamp so that a reflector (not shown) is provided. The sockets 26a and 27a are inserted and attached to a housing 28 formed so as to cover or itself as a reflector.

In the part of the backup lamp 24, its lamp bulb 29
Is inserted from the upper side on the rear surface of the lamp. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the backup lamp mounting portion 30 is integrally molded with the housing 28 on the rear surface of the lamp to cover both sides and the lower side of the lamp bulb 29 and a central portion of the lower side thereof. The fixed boss portion 31 is provided with a screw locking hole 31a therein, and the bulb support plate 33 is attached to the fixed boss portion 31 with a screw 32 into which the socket 29a of the lamp bulb 29 is inserted.

Further, on the back surface of the lamp, a connector mounting portion 35 is provided continuously with the backup lamp mounting portion 30. The connector mounting portion 35 is adapted to fit and support a support boss portion 36 formed integrally with the housing 28 and continuously with the fixed boss portion 31 and a male portion 37a of the connector 37 that is locked by the support boss portion 36. And a support box portion 38 for

The support boss portion 36 shares one side portion 36a thereof with the one side portion 31b of the fixed boss portion 31, and the one side portion 36a and the other side portion 36b are provided with locking protrusions 40 and 41, respectively. There is. Stopper walls 42 and 43 are formed on the side portions of the locking protrusions 40 and 41, respectively. Further, at the central portion of the support boss portion 36, a support portion 45 for supporting and stabilizing the support box portion 38 supported by the two locking projections 40 and 41 on the support boss portion 36 so as not to rotate is formed. Has been done.

The support box portion 38 is formed in a rectangular shape so as to surround and support the male portion 37a of the connector 37, and locking plate portions 46 and 47 are provided on both sides thereof. The locking plate portions 46, 47 have locking holes 46a, 47a, respectively, and are fitted into the two locking projections 40, 41, respectively. Then, when the locking plate portions 46, 47 are fitted to the locking protrusions 40, 41,
One side portions of the locking plate portions 46 and 47 are pressed against the stopper walls 42 and 43 so that the support box portion 38 does not easily fall off the support boss portion 36.

One side 33a of the valve support plate 33 has a long plate-shaped pressing protrusion 48.
The pressing protrusion 48 covers and presses the locking plate portion 47 fitted to the locking protrusion 41 of the one side wall 36a of the support boss portion 36, and the support box portion 38 is supported by the support boss portion. It is configured to be securely fixed to 36.

In the vehicular lamp configured as described above, when the connector 37 is attached to the housing 28 on the rear surface of the lamp, the male portion 37a of the connector 37 is first fitted and fixed to the support box portion 38. Next, by engaging the locking plate portions 46, 47 of the support box portion 38 with the locking projections 40, 41, the support box portion 38
Are attached to the support boss portion 36. In this state, the locking plate parts 46, 47 of the support box part 38 are supported by the locking projections 40, 41 and the stopper walls 42, 43, and the central part of the support box part 38 is supported by the support part 45. The rotation is suppressed and it is in a stable state. Then, the valve support plate 33 is fixed to the fixed boss portion 31 with the screw 32. As a result, the support box portion 38
Of the locking plate portion 47 of the valve support plate 33 to the one side portion 33a of the convex portion 4
8 is pressed to surely support and fix the support box portion 38.

As a result, the work for fixing the connector 37 to the housing 28 on the rear surface of the lamp is only required to screw one screw 32, and the workability is improved.

In this embodiment, the male portion 37a of the connector 37 is supported by the support box portion 38, but the female portion of the connector 37 (not shown) may be supported. Also in this case, the same operation and effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the connector mounting structure of the vehicle lamp of the present invention, the valve support plate is fixed to the fixing boss portion by one screw, so that the fitting support is performed on the supporting boss portion. The support box portion thus formed can be pressed and supported and fixed, and the work for fixing each member can be simplified and the workability can be improved.
