DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in the mounting structure of a vehicle lamp cleaner.

Generally, a lamp cleaner for a vehicle is installed on the upper surface of the front panel 3 of the vehicle 1, as shown in FIG.
A headlamp cleaner 4 is known that cleans dirt from the headlamp 2 with a strong spray.

Conventionally, this i1! The hent lamp cleaner 4 includes, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, a cleaner main body 5 disposed and extending over the upper surface of the front bumper 3, and a cleaner main body 5 formed within the cleaner main body 5. It consists of a nozzle part 7 provided in the flow path 6 of the cleaner, and a cylindrical attachment part 8 protruding from the lower part of the cleaner main body part 5.

The mounting portion 8 is composed of a mounting base portion 1o that approximately fits into the access hole 9 formed in the bumper skin 3a, and an extension portion 11 that protrudes toward the back side of the bumper skin 3a.
A horizontal flange 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the middle part. In this example, the above-mentioned flow passage 6 is formed in the mounting portion 8, and a washer tank (not shown) in which the cleaning liquid is stored is directly connected to the washer tank (not shown). The shaft is connected to the lower end of the shaft.

Conventionally, when attaching the headlamp cleaner 4 having the above configuration to the bumper skin 3a on the soil surface, first, the mounting part 8 at the lower part of the cleaner main body 5 is inserted into the mounting hole 9 made in the bumper skin 3a, and then the bumper skin The lower surface of the cleaner main body 5 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the cleaner body 3a. Next, in the gap formed between the back surface 14 of the bumper skin 3a and the seven flange 12 provided on the mounting portion 8, a retaining clip having bifurcated leg portions 16 and 16 is inserted as shown in FIG. 15 from the horizontal direction, the ridges 17 and 18 at the front and rear ends of the retaining clip 15 and the back surface 14 of the front side 3a of the retaining clip 15, and the spine 19 of the middle arrow part of the retaining clip 15 on the flange 1.
2, the cleaner main body 5 is pressed and fixed to the upper surface of the bumper skin 3a.

However, in the conventional mounting structure in which the retaining clip 15 is fixed by the elastic force of the retaining clip 15 via the mounting part 8 provided at the lower part of the cleaner main body 5, for example, when a strong rotational force is applied to the cleaner main body 5, If the cleaner main body 5 rotates against the elastic force of the retaining clip 15, or even if there is a rotation prevention structure between the mounting hole 9 and the handle base 1o, the above-mentioned situation may occur. 11”)-
If the bumper skin 3a is made of a nail grease material as in the previous example, there is a risk that the edge of the hole 9J?, J may be bent and the cleaner body part 5 may be rotated. be.

As a result, there was a problem that the jet 1f15a of the cleaner main body 5 was oriented in the yellow direction with respect to the headlamp, making it impossible for the headlamp cleaner 4 to achieve a cleansing effect in a certain area. .

In addition, when the bumper skin 3a is made of a resin member as in the conventional example above, the retaining clip 1
The bumper skin 3a itself is easily deformed at the elastic contact point 5, the spring effect of the retaining clip 15 is weakened, the supporting force is weak, and the cleaner main body 54- easily rotates due to vehicle body vibration, etc. There was a problem that the retaining clip 15 would fall off and the cleaner main body 5# would float up.

The invention was made by focusing on the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the purpose of the invention is to provide a mounting structure for a vehicle lamp cleaner that can reliably prevent rotation and lifting of the crease main body. It is about providing. The advantage of the present invention is that a mounting hole for the lamp cleaner is provided in the vehicle bumper, and a recess protruding from the lower part of the cleaner body is inserted into the mounting hole, and the bumper is In the vehicle lamp cleaner mounting structure in which the lamp cleaner is completely fixed to the bumper by fitting a spring member into the gap formed between the seven flange of the mounting portion protruding toward the back side and the rear surface of the bumper, the lamp cleaner is attached to the bumper. All the positioning holes are opened in the vicinity of the mounting holes, and an IV positioning protrusion whose tip protrudes from the back side of the bumper is provided in the F part of the cleaner body corresponding to the positioning hole, and the above spring is attached to this positioning protrusion. This is because the rear ends of the members are brought into contact.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG.
20, and has a protruding mounting portion 8 having the same structure as the conventional one, and a positioning protrusion 21 is integrally molded at a portion adjacent to the mounting portion 8. Also,
In addition to the mounting hole 9 into which the upper ice Jg joint part 8 is inserted, similar to the rice, the Bamba clothing skin 3a has a positioning hole 22 into which the positioning projection 21 is fitted in the position corresponding to the positioning projection 21. is now open! are doing. When the upper ijC positioning protrusion 2N is fitted into the position f4 hole 22, its tip will be in the bumper cloth 3a * B ill! The retaining clip 15f has the same shape as the conventional one, except that it does not protrude into the i;
: Provided at a portion where the rear end of the retaining clip 15 comes into contact with the rear end vertical 123 or the cylindrical protrusion 21 when the retaining clip 15 is attached. Incidentally, the same members as those in the prior art are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

Therefore, in this commercial example, as in the conventional case, the mounting portion 8 of the headlamp cleaner 4 is fitted into the mounting hole 9 of the bumper skin 3a, and at the same time the positioning protrusion 21 is fitted into the positioning hole 22. Positioning with respect to the bumper skin 3a is performed at three locations: the protrusion 21 and the mounting base 10 fitted into the mounting hole 9, thereby reliably preventing the cleaner main body from rotating 200 times. Furthermore, a tening clip 15 is fitted into the gap between the rear surface 14 of the bumper skin 3a and the seven flange 12 formed on the extension part 11 of the mounting portion 8 from the positioning protrusion 21 side. Mountain portions 17.1 at the front and rear ends of the retaining clip 15 that come into elastic contact with the retaining clip 14
8 and the retaining clip 1 that comes into elastic contact with the 7 lunge 12
5 and the trough 19 at the center of the bumper skin 3a, the cleaner main body 20 is pressed and fixed against the upper surface of the bumper skin 3a. Further, when the retaining clip 15 is attached, the rear end vertical surface 23 comes into contact with the positioning protrusion 21, and rearward movement is restricted.

Therefore, according to the above embodiment, the cleaner main body 20 is
Since it is positioned at three locations relative to the bumper skin 3a, its rotational movement is restricted against external forces. In addition, since the rear end vertical surface 23 of the retaining clip 15 is in contact with the positioning protrusion 21, the rear end vertical surface 23 of the retaining clip 15 is in contact with the retaining clip 15.
Even if the spring supporting force of the deformed retaining clip 15 is reduced due to the pressing force of There is no possibility that it will rise above the top surface.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the positioning protrusion 21 and the seven flange 12 have slopes 24 and 25 that are inclined toward the insertion direction of the retaining clip 15.
The configuration is the same as that of the previous embodiment except that .

Therefore, in this embodiment, the headlamp cleaner 4 can be securely fixed as in the previous embodiment, and when the retaining clip 15 is fitted, it can be slid on the slope 24, 25. Since the sliding resistance of the moving peaks 17, 18 and troughs 19 of the retaining clip 15 can be reduced, the retaining clip 15 can be easily attached.

6 and 7 show a third embodiment of the present invention, in which an extension surface 27 consisting of a horizontal surface and a vertical surface is provided at the lower end of the rear end vertical surface 23 of the retaining clip 26. It is. Therefore, when attaching or detaching the retaining clip 26, by pushing down the extension portion 27, the rear ridge portion 18 of the retaining clip 26 is pulled down, allowing the retaining clip 26 to easily climb over the positioning protrusion 21. becomes easier.

In the above embodiment, an example of a headlamp cleaner has been described, but it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to cleaners for other vehicle lamps.

As explained above, according to the mounting structure of the vehicle lamp cleaner according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably prevent rotation of the cleaner main body and floating fog, so that a predetermined cleaning effect can be obtained for the lamp. , lamp song dirt t S
