Abstract

A media terminal structure for a vehicle is provided to control an angle between a body of a media connector and a connector of the media terminal, thereby optimizing a space of a cable connected to the connector. First holes are formed in a rear end of a media terminal body(300) for a vehicle. A second hole is formed in one end of a connector holder(350) in parallel with the first holes, and a part of a connector(400) is fixed to the other end of the connector holder. A rod is passed through the first and second holes. A plurality of protrusions is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the rod in a radial type. A controller is disposed on a lateral surface of the media terminal body, wherein the controller has a protrusion formed on one end thereof. After angles of the media terminal body and the connector holder are regulated by using the rod as an axis, the protrusion of the controller is inserted and fixed between the protrusions of the rod.

In addition, the media terminal 20 is provided with an external connection part 6 which is a part connected to the external sound source device 5 and an internal connection part 7 which is a part connected with the audio device 10 of the vehicle. The audio device 10 of the vehicle is connected to the speaker 15 so as to transmit a sound or the like transmitted from the external sound source device 5 to the occupant.

As shown in FIG. 2, the audio device 10 and the conventional media terminal 20 are connected by a cable 50. The media terminal 20 includes a main body 30 and a connector 40 positioned behind the main body and to which the cable 50 is coupled.

On the other hand, since the center fascia (part where the control panel of the audio or air conditioner is mounted), which is an internal part of the vehicle in which the conventional media terminal 20 is installed, various devices such as HVAC and TGS CABLE are concentrated, the connector of the media terminal 20 When the part 40 is connected to the cable 50 while being fixed to the main body 30, a space of about a (about 50 mm) is required behind the connector 40. Since the space of about 50 mm must be additionally secured in addition to the depth of the media terminal 20, there is a problem in that the space is secured inside the vehicle and interference due to close installation with the rear structure occurs.

Therefore, the present invention was invented to solve such a problem, and provides a structure of a media terminal for a vehicle that can optimize the space of a cable connected to the connector at a predetermined angle as required, the main body and the connector portion of the media terminal. Its purpose is.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a connector holder having a first hole provided at a rear end of a vehicle media terminal main body, and a second hole formed at one end in parallel with the first hole and a part of the connector fixed at the other end therein. And a rod having both ends penetrating the first hole and the second hole, respectively, the rod having a radial protrusion formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and an adjuster provided at a side of the media terminal body and having a protrusion formed at one end thereof. After adjusting the angle of the media terminal body and the connector holder with the rod as the axis, there is provided a media terminal structure for a vehicle, characterized in that the projection of the control unit is inserted between the projection and the projection and fixed.

A film PCB may be provided in the connector holder to connect the media terminal body and the connector, and a groove may be radially formed in the second hole of the connector holder to engage the protrusion of the rod on an inner circumferential surface thereof. A cover may be provided at both ends of the rod.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First of all, in adding reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same reference numerals are designated as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings. In addition, in describing the present invention, when it is determined that the detailed description of the related well-known configuration or function may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.
