Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The invention of the present application relates to a mounting structure for mounting a car stereo, an in-car CD, an in-car video, and other in-vehicle devices to a vehicle cabin panel. is there.

[Prior Art] There have been various known devices for mounting on-vehicle equipment on a vehicle interior panel. Among them, those having a structure in which an elastic locking member mounted on a device side is engaged with a vehicle interior panel side. Is attracting attention as a device excellent in workability because a device can be mounted in an opening of a vehicle interior panel with a single touch by utilizing deformation of an elastic locking member.

6 (A) to 6 (C) show an example of a conventional mounting structure of a vehicle-mounted device using such an elastic locking member. In the figure, 1 is an in-vehicle device, 2 is a front panel (escussion), 3 is a case of the in-vehicle device 1, and 4 is a console box attached to an opening of a vehicle interior panel.
A mountain-shaped elastic locking member 5 is fixed to the side surface of the case 3 by means such as screwing, and the elastic locking member 5 is engaged with a hole 6 formed on the side surface of the console box 4. A vertical piece 7 and a horizontal piece 8 are formed integrally with the case 3 of the in-vehicle device 1 in front of the side of the case 3, and the vertical piece 7 and the horizontal piece 8 abut on the front surface or the upper and lower inner surfaces of the console box 4. Thus, the in-vehicle device 3 is positioned in the console box 4.

In this mounting structure, the in-vehicle device 1 is compressed flat by pressing the angled elastic locking member 5 on the side surface of the in-vehicle device 1 against the inner surface of the side of the console box 4.
From the front opening of the console box 4. The engagement of the mountain-shaped elastic locking member 5 into the hole 6 prevents the vehicle-mounted device 1 from being pulled out of the console box 4, and the vehicle-mounted device 1 is fixed to the console box 4.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-described conventional technology, there is an advantage that the on-vehicle device can be mounted with one touch, but the on-vehicle device 1 is connected to the opening of the vehicle interior panel via the console box 4. As compared to the type that mounts onboard equipment directly to the cabin panel, the number of parts is increased by the console box and the work of mounting the console box and the cabin panel is also required. there were.

In addition, this prior art is characterized in that a chevron-shaped elastic locking member 5 and a hole 6 are provided.
And the in-vehicle device 1 in the console box 4
A single plate disposed in parallel with the front surface of the vehicle-mounted device 1 like a vehicle compartment panel, and having a hole 6 for engaging with the elastic locking member 5. For those that cannot, the mounting structure as in the prior art is not applicable.

Furthermore, in the combination of the mountain-shaped elastic locking member 5 and the hole 6, for example, when only the slope on the side of the mountain-shaped front panel 2 hits the edge of the hole, the in-vehicle device 1 is drawn into the back, and only the slope on the opposite side is the hole. The in-vehicle device 1 is pushed forward when it hits the edge, and the in-vehicle device 1 is basically pushed out by the contact position between the mountain-shaped slope and the hole 6 so that both slopes are stabilized at the position where they hit the front and rear edges of the hole. Since the positional relationship with the console box 4 is determined, the angle of the angle of the elastic locking member 5, the position of the hole 6, and the mounting position of the elastic locking member 5 with respect to the in-vehicle device 1 must be manufactured with high precision. There was a drawback that the in-vehicle device 1 could not be accurately positioned with respect to the console box and the cabin panel to which it was attached.
In particular, even in the prior art, the case 3 is provided with the vertical pieces 7,
Thus, the on-vehicle device 1 and the front surface of the console box 4 are positioned. However, depending on the positional relationship between the mountain-shaped elastic locking member 5 and the hole 6 as described above, the vertical piece 7 may Could not contact the front surface of the device, and could not play a role in positioning.

In the prior art, a horizontal piece 8 is formed at the front end of the side of the case 3 and is brought into contact with the upper and lower inner surfaces of the console box 4, but this portion is narrow between the vehicle-mounted device 1 and the console box 4. It is a gap and it is absolutely horizontal piece 8
Had a limited size. In the case of the console box 4 that covers the entire periphery of the case 3, even with a small horizontal piece as in the prior art, sufficient positioning is required because the area of the counterpart to be contacted is large. However, if only a small positioning member such as a conventional horizontal piece can be provided directly in a narrow area having only the thickness of the vehicle interior panel without using the console box 4, the vertical position of the vehicle-mounted device can be reduced. There was also a problem that it was difficult to reliably perform positioning.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. In-vehicle equipment can be directly attached to an opening of a cabin panel without using a console box. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure for a vehicle-mounted device capable of securely mounting the vehicle-mounted device to a relatively thin member such as a panel from the viewpoint of strength and positioning.
