Description

LAMP MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE}

The present invention relates to a mounting structure of a vehicle lamp mounted on a vehicle.

(Conventional technology)

In order to attach | attach a lamp to a vehicle body detachably, fastener members, such as a screw and a screw gromet, are used. In order to prevent damage to the lamp design surface, such fastener member is desired to be fixed to the lamp mounting sheet disposed in an area other than the lamp design surface. However, the fastener member or the mounting sheet may not be provided outside the lamp design surface due to the relationship with the lamp surrounding parts. In that case, the mounting structure of the prior art examples 1-3 mentioned below is employ | adopted.

Conventional example 1 in a vehicle forms a hole in a part of the lamp design surface as illustrated in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-318511, and screwes a screw member inserted from the hole into a lamp mounting seat on the vehicle body side. The screw is detachably mounted to the vehicle body by screwing.

Conventional Example 2 in a vehicle has a pin shape when a lamp-shaped body is mounted on a vehicle body by protruding a pin-shaped grommet having a stopping portion to the rear side of the lamp, as illustrated in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-78672. The latch is fitted to the vehicle body by pushing the grommet stopper into the hole on the vehicle body side.

Conventional example 3 in a vehicle fixes an L-shaped bracket on the vehicle body side by welding or the like, as illustrated in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-138828, for example, for an arm portion of the L-shaped bracket. The lamp is fixed by screwing the screw member into the hole of the L-shaped bracket from the inside of the vehicle (outside the design surface).

However, in the case of the conventional example 1, since a hole is provided in a part of the lamp design surface, the appearance is damaged, disadvantageous in terms of noise, sealing property, adhesion of impurities, light distribution characteristics, and the like. In addition, the assembling work of the vehicle body lamp can not be performed in one touch, which causes a lot of effort for installation. In addition, in the case of the conventional example 2, in order to replace a lamp, it is necessary to separate from a vehicle body by giving external force in the direction which pulls out a pin-shaped grommet from a vehicle body. For this reason, there is a problem that the mounting strength cannot be increased.

In addition, in the case of the conventional example 3, there is a problem in the assembly workability of the lamp in the production line of the vehicle, because it is necessary to perform the work of mounting the lamp on the L-shaped bracket that is fixed to the vehicle body in advance, for example. .

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure of a vehicle lamp that can be easily assembled into a vehicle body, has high mounting strength, and does not damage the lamp design surface.

(Means to solve the task)

In the mounting structure of the vehicle lamp of the present invention for achieving the above object, the lamp is mounted on the vehicle body by fitting a bracket provided on the back portion of the lamp. The bracket includes a cell block-shaped first fastener member inserted into the mounting hole formed in the vehicle body from the first direction and a second fastener member detachably fixing the bracket body to the lamp from the second direction. The lamp can be assembled to the vehicle body by simply pressing the first fastener member from the first direction to the mounting hole of the vehicle body. In the state where the first fastener member is inserted into the mounting hole of the vehicle body, a part of the first fastener member is elastically wide open to prevent the separation, thereby exhibiting sufficient mounting strength. At the time of lamp replacement, the lamp can be removed from the bracket fixed to the vehicle body by separating the second fastener member from the bracket from the second direction.

In addition, the mounting structure of the vehicle lamp according to the present invention is easy to mold and inexpensive because the boss portion for joining the bracket body and the second fastener member is integrally formed as a synthetic resin.

In addition, in the mounting structure of the vehicle lamp according to the present invention, since the first fastener member is provided with a spring portion held by the repulsive force after contacting the vehicle body, the circumferential edge portion of the mounting hole is provided in a state where the hooking portion is inserted into the mounting hole. It is elastically abutted and can be held in the vehicle body without loosening the coupling part by the repulsive force.

Further, the mounting structure of the vehicle lamp according to the present invention has made the outer diameter of the screw portion of the second fastener member larger than the inner diameter of the opening of the boss portion, so that when the screw member is not screwed into the tapping hole, the screw member is removed from the boss portion.

The engagement hook 31 is inserted into the slit 32 formed in the front panel 12 of the vehicle body 10 from the front side of the vehicle body 10, and then in the direction indicated by arrow A in FIG. 1 (width direction of the vehicle). By sliding, it fits in the edge part of the slit 32, is engaged, and is fixed to the front panel 11 of the vehicle body 10. As shown in FIG.

The bracket 30 has a function of fixing the end 11a of the lamp 11 to the side panel 13 of the vehicle body 10. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the bracket 30 is a bracket body 40 made of an integrally molded article made of synthetic resin, and a joining portion between the boss portion 62 and the vehicle body 10 of the bracket body 40. The first fastener member 41 having a cell block shape and a detachable second fastener member 42 provided at the engaging portion of the lamp body 11 of the bracket main body 40 are provided.

The first fastener member 41 has a one-way insertion type coupling part 45 made of resin called a cell block nut, and a first screw member 46 for fixing the coupling part 45 to the bracket body 40. Equipped. The coupling part 45 is provided at the circumferential edge portion 50a of the mounting portion 51 and the mounting hole 50 inserted into the rectangular mounting hole 50 formed in the vehicle body 10 from the first direction F1. The opposing spring part 52 and the tapping hole 53 with which the 1st screw member 46 is screwed are provided. The first direction F1 is along the ramp 11 moving direction A when the engaging hook 31 (shown in FIG. 1) is fitted to the rim of the slit 32. In addition, depending on the type of lamp, the lamp may be mounted on the vehicle body only by the bracket 30 without using the coupling hook 31.

When the engaging portion 51 of the coupling part 45 is inserted into the mounting hole 50 of the vehicle body 10 up to a predetermined position, it is elastically wide open and is the surface of the circumferential edge 50a of the mounting hole 50. It is possible to achieve the separation stop from the mounting hole 50 by engaging the side. The spring portion 52 elastically abuts against the circumferential edge portion 50a of the mounting hole 50 in a state where the hooking portion 51 is inserted into the mounting hole 50, and the coupling part is caused by the repulsive force. The 45 can be loosely held by the vehicle body 10.

As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the second fastener member 42 includes a boss portion 60, a grommet portion 61, and a grommet portion in which an axis extends in a second direction F2 perpendicular to the first direction F1. The second screw member 63 is screwed into the tapping hole 62 of 61. The outer diameter of the grommet portion 61 is a dimension capable of engaging the grommet engaging hole 64 of the lamp body 20 without screwing the second screw member 63 to the tapping hole 62.

The lamp 11 is fixed to the bracket 30 in a state where the bolt portion 63a of the second screw member 63 is screwed into the tapping hole 62 of the grommet portion 61.

On the contrary, when the second screw member 63 is rotated in a loose direction to remove the nut portion 63a from the tapping hole 62, the lamp 11 can be removed from the bracket 30.

The outer diameter of the bolt portion 63a of the second screw member 63 is larger than the inner diameter of the opening 60a of the boss portion 60. As shown in FIG. 4, the screw member 63 is tapped. The screw member 63 is not detached from the boss portion 60 when it is not screwed on. If there is no problem in operation, the bracket 30 may be fixed to the lamp body 20 from the second direction F2 using a general screw member, or a second fastener member such as the coupling part 45 described above. The bracket 30 may be fixed to the lamp body 20 from the second direction F2 by using.

In order to mount the lamp 11 to the vehicle body 10 using the bracket 30 having the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 3, the first fastener member 41 is mounted on the bracket body 40 in advance. The bracket 30 is attached to the lamp body 20 by the second fastener member 42. Then, the coupling part 45 of the first fastener member 41 is pushed into the mounting hole 50 of the vehicle body 10 from the first direction F1 through the bracket 30 by a simple operation of so-called one-touch. The lamp 11 can be assembled to the vehicle body 10.

When the cell block type first fastener member 41 is inserted into the mounting hole 50 of the vehicle body 10 up to a predetermined position, the cell block-type first fastener member 41 hangs on the inner side of the mounting hole 50 so that the stop 51 is elastically wide open. As a result, it is caught by the peripheral edge portion 50a of the mounting hole 50. That is, once inserted into the mounting hole 50, the separation prevention is made by the stopper 51, and the bracket 30 can be fixed to the vehicle body 10 with sufficient mounting strength. The first fastener member 41 can be fixed to the vehicle body 10 by simply pushing the lamp 11 into the vehicle body 10 from the first direction F1 toward the mounting hole 50. For this reason, the first fastener member 41 can be installed inconspicuously on the inner side of the lamp 11 and does not have any influence on the design surface 22 of the lamp 11.

In order to replace the lamp 11, as shown in FIG. 4, the screw member 63 of the 2nd fastener member 42 is opened in the 2nd direction F2 (for example, the door 23), and the vehicle body 10 ), The fastening state between the bracket 30 and the lamp 11 is weakened by rotating in a loose direction using a tool such as a driver. In addition, the screw member 63

When rotated, the screw member 63 is separated from the grommet portion 61. However, since the lamp 11 is constrained to the front panel 12 by the engaging hook 31, it is shown by the arrow B in FIG. By moving the lamp 11 in the direction, it can be separated from the front panel 12. Since the second fastener member 42 can be detached from the second direction F2 outside the design surface 22 of the lamp 11, the second fastener member 42 does not have any influence on the design surface 22 of the lamp 11. Do not.
