[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2016-37278 Summary of the invention

[0006] Technical problem to be solved by the invention

[0007] In the vehicle described in Patent Document 1, when a headlamp unit (hereinafter referred to as "headlamp") is mounted on a fender on the vehicle body side, the boss portion on the fender side is inserted into the guide groove portion on the headlamp side, and the headlamp is slid backward. However, when the headlamp is slid backward, there is a possibility that the headlamp is greatly tilted about the boss portion as an axis, and the headlamp interferes with other parts of the fender including the surrounding of the headlamp, which may damage the headlamp or the above-mentioned other parts. Therefore, the installation work of the headlamp is likely to be complicated, such as carefully sliding the headlamp while suppressing the tilt of the headlamp.

[0008] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a vehicle headlamp mounting structure capable of improving the workability of the headlamp mounting operation.

[0009] Technical means for solving technical problems

[0010] In order to solve the above technical problems, the vehicle headlamp mounting structure of the first scheme of the present disclosure includes a first headlamp support portion, a second headlamp support portion and a headlamp. The first headlamp support portion is fixedly arranged on the vehicle body side. The second headlamp support portion is arranged above or below the first headlamp support portion and is fixedly arranged on the vehicle body side. The headlamp has: a first supported portion supported by the first headlamp support portion from below; and a second supported portion supported by the second headlamp support portion from below, so that the headlamp is moved from the front to the rear relative to the vehicle body and installed at a prescribed installation position. One of the first headlamp support portion or the first supported portion is a convex portion protruding to one side in the vehicle width direction. The other of the first headlamp support portion or the first supported portion is a guide rail portion extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle in a state of being open to the other side in the vehicle width direction. The guide rail portion has: an opening at one end, which is located at one end side in the front-rear direction, and allows the protrusion to enter when the headlamp is installed from the front to the mounting position; and the other end of the guide rail, which is located at the other end side in the front-rear direction, and restricts the movement of the protrusion to the opposite side of the opening at one end when the headlamp is arranged at the mounting position. The guide rail portion allows the relative movement of the protrusion in the front-rear direction in the area between the opening at one end and the other end of the guide rail, and restricts the relative movement of the protrusion in the up-down direction. When the headlamp is installed from the front to the mounting position, the protrusion is engaged with the other end of the guide rail portion in a state where the second supported portion of the headlamp is placed above the second headlamp supporting portion. The second headlamp supporting portion allows the second supported portion of the headlamp placed above to move rearward.

[0011] In the above structure, one of the first headlamp support part or the first supported part is a convex part protruding to one side in the vehicle width direction, and the other is a rail part extending in the front-rear direction in a state of being open to the other side in the vehicle width direction. The rail part allows the convex part to move relative to the front-rear direction in the area between the opening at one end and the other end of the rail. Therefore, when the headlamp is installed from the front mounting position, the convex part is inserted from the opening at one end of the rail part, so that the first supported part (convex part or rail part) of the headlamp can slide backward relative to the first headlamp support part (rail part or convex part) on the vehicle body side.

[0012] In addition, the rail portion restricts the relative vertical movement of the protrusion in the region between the one end opening and the other end of the rail. Therefore, when the headlamp is installed from the front mounting position, the vertical movement of the headlamp relative to the vehicle body can be suppressed.

[0013] Furthermore, when the headlamp is installed at the installation position from the front, the convex portion engages with the other end of the guide rail of the guide rail portion in a state where the second supported portion of the headlamp is placed above the second headlamp supporting portion. The second headlamp supporting portion on the vehicle body side is arranged above or below the first headlamp supporting portion, and the second supported portion of the headlamp is supported by the second headlamp supporting portion. That is, when the headlamp is installed at the installation position from the front, the second supported portion of the headlamp is placed above the second headlamp supporting portion before the convex portion reaches the other end of the guide rail of the guide rail portion, and the first supported portion and the second supported portion of the headlamp are arranged at different height positions up and down and supported on the vehicle body side. In this way, when the headlamp is installed on the vehicle body side (installation position), it is supported on the vehicle body side at different height positions up and down, so that the tilting of the headlamp in the front-back direction can be suppressed during installation, and the operability of the installation operation of the headlamp can be improved.

[0014] The second scheme of the present disclosure is a vehicle headlamp mounting structure of the above-mentioned first scheme, wherein the other end of the guide rail of the guide rail portion is formed into a concave shape toward the above-mentioned one side in the vehicle width direction. The guide rail portion has an opposing surface extending in the front-to-back direction and opposite to the front end of the convex portion. The opposing surface of the guide rail portion has an inclined area that is continuous from the other end of the guide rail and extends to the above-mentioned one side in the vehicle width direction in the above-mentioned one end side in the front-to-back direction. When the headlamp is installed in the front mounting position, the convex portion can abut against the inclined area of ​​the opposing surface from the above-mentioned one end side in the front-to-back direction, and move along the inclined area toward the above-mentioned other end side in the front-to-back direction, and be locked to the other end of the guide rail when reaching the other end of the guide rail.

[0015] In the above structure, the opposite surface of the guide rail portion opposite to the front end of the relatively moving convex portion has an inclined area extending from the other end of the guide rail to one side of the vehicle width direction in one end side in the front-rear direction, and the other end of the guide rail is formed into a concave shape toward one side in the vehicle width direction. In addition, when the headlamp is installed from the front direction installation position, the convex portion can abut against the inclined area of ​​the opposite surface from the above-mentioned one end side in the front-rear direction, and move along the inclined area to the above-mentioned other end side in the front-rear direction, and stop at the other end of the guide rail when reaching the other end of the guide rail. Therefore, when the headlamp is installed, the sound or vibration when the convex portion stops at the other end of the guide rail can recognize that the headlamp has reached the installation position, so the operability of the headlamp installation operation can be improved.

[0027] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, in each of the drawings, FR indicates the front of the vehicle, UP indicates the upper side, and IN indicates the inner side in the vehicle width direction. In addition, in the following description, the front-rear direction indicates the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the left-right direction indicates the left-right direction when facing the front of the vehicle.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 1 of this embodiment includes: a front end upper beam (second headlight support portion) 11 supporting an upper portion of a radiator (not shown) and the like; fenders 12 arranged on both sides in the vehicle width direction; and a predetermined mounting position ( Figure 1 The left and right fenders 12 and the left and right headlights 10 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the vehicle 1 and have substantially the same structure. In the following, the description will be made with respect to the left side and the description of the right side will be omitted. Figure 1 In the figure, a bumper or a grille extending in the vehicle width direction at a lower portion of the front end of the vehicle 1 is omitted from illustration.

[0029] The front end upper member 11 is a frame member of the vehicle 1 , is fixedly provided on the vehicle body side, and extends in the vehicle width direction at the front end portion of the vehicle 1 .

[0030] The fender 12 includes a fender body 13 disposed around a front wheel (not shown) and a buffer bracket 14 fixed to the front end of the fender body 13, and is fixed to the vehicle body. In the present embodiment, a headlamp fitting portion 15 is formed on the fender body 13, which is cut out from the front to the rear, and the headlamp 10 is fitted into the headlamp fitting portion 15. Figure 1 , the buffer bracket 14 on the left side is shown.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the headlamp 10 includes: a lamp body 16 provided with a lamp (not shown) for irradiating light; left and right arm portions (second supported portions) 17 extending rearward from the upper end side of the lamp body 16; and a convex portion (first supported portion) 18 protruding outward in the vehicle width direction from the lower end portion of the lamp body 16. The left and right arm portions 17 are arranged above the convex portion 18. An outer end portion 19 in the vehicle width direction of the lamp body 16 is located rearward of an inner end portion 20 in the vehicle width direction of the lamp body 16 and extends in the front-rear direction. The outer shape of the outer end portion 19 in the vehicle width direction of the lamp body 16 is formed in a shape that fits in the headlamp fitting portion 15 of the fender body 13.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the buffer bracket 14 of the fender 12 has a fixing portion 21 fixed to the front end of the fender body 13, and an extension portion 22 extending forward from the front end side of the fixing portion 21. A groove-shaped guide rail portion (first headlight support portion) 23 extending in the front-rear direction while opening inward in the vehicle width direction is formed in the extension portion 22 of the buffer bracket 14. The front end side of the guide rail portion 23 is opened forward through a front end opening (one end opening) 24 opening forward in a trumpet shape. A stopper portion (the other end of the guide rail) 25 recessed outward in the vehicle width direction is provided at the rear end of the guide rail portion 23. The guide rail portion 23 has an upper surface 23a, a lower surface 23b, and an upright surface (opposite surface) 23c on the outer side in the vehicle width direction, and an internal space 26 is defined by the upper surface 23a, the lower surface 23b, and the upright surface 23c. The front end opening 24 is formed to have a size that allows the protrusion 18 of the headlight 10 to intrude into the internal space 26 of the guide rail portion 23. In addition, the width of the internal space 26 of the guide rail portion 23 in the up-down direction is formed to have a size that allows the protrusion 18 of the headlight 10 to slide in the front-rear direction. That is, the guide rail portion 23 allows the protrusion 18 of the headlight 10 to move relative to the front-rear direction in the area between the front end opening 24 and the stopper 25. The stopper 25 is formed to be recessed from the upright surface 23c toward the outside in the vehicle width direction. The stopper 25 has a rear surface 25a that restricts the rearward movement of the protrusion 18 that reaches the stopper 25. The upright surface 23c of the guide rail portion 23 extends continuously from the stopper 25 to the front end opening 24, and extends obliquely (inclined relative to the front-rear direction) toward the outside in the vehicle width direction in the front direction (refer to Fig. 9 ). That is, in the present embodiment, the entire region of the vertical surface 23c from the stopper 25 to the front end opening 24 is an inclined region inclined relative to the front-rear direction. A predetermined region 27 in the front-rear direction of the guide rail portion 23 (in the present embodiment, a region 27 near the stopper 25) protrudes downward on the upper surface 23a and is recessed downward on the lower surface 23b in such a manner as to guide the protrusion 18 of the headlamp 10 downward. When the headlamp 10 is mounted on the vehicle body side, in order to avoid interference between the vehicle width direction outer end portion 19 of the lamp body portion 16 and the headlamp fitting portion 15 of the fender body 13, the predetermined region 27 of the guide rail portion 23 can guide the protrusion 18 of the headlamp 10 downward.

[0033] Next, the installation of the headlamp 10 to the vehicle body side will be described. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the headlamp 10 is mounted on the vehicle body side, first, the headlamp 10 is arranged at the above-mentioned predetermined mounting position ( Figure 1The rear end side of the outer end portion 19 of the lamp body 16 in the vehicle width direction is inserted from the front into the headlamp fitting portion 15 of the fender body 13. At this time, the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 is located at the front end opening 24 of the guide rail portion 23 of the buffer bracket 14 (see FIG. Figure 3 ), the rear ends of the left and right arms 17 of the headlight 10 are separated forward from the front upper beam 11. When the headlight 10 is moved backward from this state, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 penetrates into the guide rail portion 23 from the front end opening 24 of the guide rail portion 23 of the buffer bracket 14, and is supported from below by the lower surface 23b of the guide rail portion 23. The front end of the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 that penetrates into the guide rail portion 23 is in contact with the vertical surface 23c of the guide rail portion 23 (see Figure 3 ) relative. Figure 6 As shown, before the protrusion 18 reaches the stopper 25 of the guide rail 23, the left and right arms 17 of the headlamp 10 are placed on the upper surface of the front upper beam 11 and supported from below by the upper surface of the front upper beam 11. In the state where the left and right arms 17 of the headlamp 10 are placed on the upper surface of the front upper beam 11, the upper surface of the front upper beam 11 allows the left and right arms 17 to move rearward until the protrusion 18 of the headlamp 10 reaches the stopper 25 of the guide rail 23. When the headlamp 10 is further moved rearward from this state, the front end of the protrusion 18 of the headlamp 10 abuts against the rising surface 23c of the guide rail 23 of the buffer bracket 14 from the front, and the protrusion 18 slides rearward in the guide rail 23 while receiving a reaction force from the rising surface 23c of the guide rail 23 inward in the vehicle width direction. When the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 slides rearward in the guide rail portion 23 while in contact with the vertical surface 23c, at least one of the headlamp 10 and the buffer bracket 14 is elastically deformed in the vehicle width direction. When the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 reaches the predetermined area 27 of the guide rail portion 23 of the buffer bracket 14 that is recessed downward, the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 is guided downward by the predetermined area 27 of the guide rail portion 23 to avoid interference between the outer end portion 19 of the lamp body 16 in the vehicle width direction and the headlamp fitting portion 15 of the fender body 13. In addition, as Figure 7 to Figure 9 As shown, when the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 reaches the stopper 25 of the guide rail portion 23 of the buffer bracket 14, at least one of the headlamp 10 and the buffer bracket 14 elastically deformed in the vehicle width direction is restored, and the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 is engaged and stopped by the stopper 25 of the guide rail portion 23 from the inner side in the vehicle width direction. In the state where the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 is engaged with the stopper 25 of the guide rail portion 23 of the buffer bracket 14, the rearward movement of the convex portion 18 relative to the guide rail portion 23 is restricted by the rear surface 25a of the stopper 25. The left and right arm portions 17 of the headlamp 10 are fastened and fixed to the upper surface of the front end upper beam 11 by bolts (not shown).

[0034] In the vehicle 1 configured as described above, the groove-shaped guide rail portion 23 is provided on the buffer bracket 14 of the fender 12, and the convex portion 18 is provided on the headlamp 10. The guide rail portion 23 allows the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 to move relative to the front and rear directions in the area between the front end opening 24 and the locking portion 25. Therefore, when the headlamp 10 is mounted on the vehicle body side from the front at the above-mentioned predetermined mounting position, the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 can enter from the front end opening 24 of the guide rail portion 23, and the convex portion 18 can slide backward relative to the guide rail portion 23.

[0035] Furthermore, the rail portion 23 of the buffer bracket 14 is formed in a groove shape extending in the front-rear direction while opening inward in the vehicle width direction, so that the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 intruding into the rail portion 23 can be restricted from relative vertical movement. Therefore, when the headlamp 10 is mounted from the front to the above-mentioned predetermined mounting position, the vertical movement of the headlamp 10 relative to the vehicle body can be suppressed.

[0036] In addition, the left and right arms 17 of the headlamp 10 are arranged above the convex portion 18, and are placed on the upper surface of the front end upper beam 11 before the convex portion 18 reaches the locking portion 25 of the guide rail portion 23. That is, in a state where the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 is supported by the guide rail portion 23 and the left and right arms 17 are supported by the front end upper beam 11, the headlamp 10 is supported from below on the vehicle body side at different height positions (the height positions of the convex portion 18 and the left and right arms 17). In this way, when the headlamp 10 is mounted on the vehicle body side (mounting position), it is supported on the vehicle body side at different height positions. Therefore, during mounting, the headlamp 10 can be prevented from tilting in the front-rear direction about the convex portion 18 extending in the vehicle width direction as an axis, and the workability of mounting the headlamp 10 can be improved.

[0037] Furthermore, the vertical surface 23c of the guide rail portion 23 extends continuously from the stopper 25 to the front end opening 24, and extends obliquely (inclined relative to the front-rear direction) toward the outside in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, when the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 is moved rearward in the guide rail portion 23, the convex portion 18 abuts against the vertical surface 23c of the guide rail portion 23 from the front, and slides and moves rearward in the guide rail portion 23 while receiving the reaction force from the vertical surface 23c of the guide rail portion 23 toward the inside in the vehicle width direction. The stopper 25 of the guide rail portion 23 is formed so as to be recessed from the vertical surface 23c toward the outside in the vehicle width direction, so when the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 reaches the stopper 25 of the guide rail portion 23, at least one of the headlamp 10 and the buffer bracket 14 elastically deformed in the vehicle width direction is restored, and the convex portion 18 is engaged and stopped by the stopper 25 of the guide rail portion 23 from the inside in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, when mounting the headlamp 10 , the operator can recognize that the headlamp 10 has reached the mounting position by the sound or vibration when the protrusion 18 is locked with the locking portion 25 , thereby improving the operability of the mounting operation of the headlamp 10 .

[0038] Furthermore, when the headlamp 10 is mounted on the vehicle body side, the predetermined area 27 of the guide rail 23 can guide the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 downward to avoid interference between the vehicle width direction outer end portion 19 of the lamp body 16 and the headlamp fitting portion 15 of the fender body 13. Therefore, when the headlamp 10 is mounted, the vehicle width direction outer end portion 19 of the lamp body 16 and the headlamp fitting portion 15 of the fender body 13 can be avoided by simply moving the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 rearward along the guide rail 23 of the buffer bracket 14, thereby improving the workability of the mounting operation of the headlamp 10.

[0039] Furthermore, until the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 reaches the locking portion 25 of the guide rail portion 23, the left and right arm portions 17 of the headlamp 10 are placed on the upper surface of the front end upper beam 11. That is, even when the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 is guided downward by the above-mentioned predetermined area 27 of the guide rail portion 23, the left and right arm portions 17 are supported from below by the front end upper beam 11. Therefore, during the process of mounting the headlamp 10, even when the headlamp 10 is moved in the vertical direction in order to avoid interference with other components including the surrounding fender 12, the left and right arm portions 17 can be abutted against the front end upper beam 11 to suppress the tilting of the headlamp 10 about the convex portion 18 extending in the vehicle width direction as an axis, thereby improving the workability of mounting the headlamp 10.

[0040] Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the workability of the installation work of the headlamp 10 can be improved.

[0041] In addition, in the present embodiment, the entire area of ​​the vertical surface 23c of the guide rail portion 23 (the area from the locking portion 25 to the front end opening 24) is set as an inclined area inclined relative to the front-rear direction, but it is not limited to this. It is sufficient as long as at least a portion of the vertical surface 23c of the guide rail portion 23 that is continuous from the locking portion 25 and extends forward is an inclined area inclined toward the outer side in the forward vehicle width direction (inclined relative to the front-rear direction).

[0042] In the present embodiment, the rising surface 23 c of the guide rail portion 23 has an inclined region that is continuous from the locking portion 25 and inclined outward in the vehicle width direction in front (inclined with respect to the front-rear direction), but the inclined region may not be provided.

[0043] In addition, in the present embodiment, the guide rail portion 23 is formed into a groove extending in the front-rear direction while opening inward in the vehicle width direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and at least the guide rail portion may be opened to the side of the protrusion 18 (inward in the vehicle width direction in the present embodiment). For example, the guide rail portion may be open to both sides in the vehicle width direction without having an opposing surface (the rising surface 23c in the present embodiment) opposing the front end of the protrusion 18.

[0044] In addition, in this embodiment, the locking portion 25 of the guide rail portion 23 is formed in a manner recessed from the upright surface 23c toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction, but it is not limited to this. At least the locking portion 25 that can restrict the rearward movement of the protrusion 18 reaching the locking portion 25 is sufficient.

[0045] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the convex portion 18 on the headlight 10 side is made to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction, and the guide rail portion 23 on the buffer bracket 14 side is made to open inward in the vehicle width direction, but this is not limited to this, and the convex portion 18 may also be made to protrude inward in the vehicle width direction, and the guide rail portion 23 may be made to open outward in the vehicle width direction.

[0046] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a convex portion (first supported portion) 18 is provided on the headlamp 10 side, and a rail portion (first headlamp supporting portion) 23 is provided on the buffer bracket 14 side, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A rail portion (first supported portion) may be provided on the headlamp 10 side, and a convex portion (first headlamp supporting portion) may be provided on the buffer bracket 14 side, and the convex portion supports the upper surface of the rail portion from below.

[0047] In the present embodiment, the second headlamp support portion on the vehicle body side that supports the left and right arms 17 of the headlamp 10 from below is applied to the front end upper member 11 , but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the second headlamp support portion may be applied to another member on the vehicle body side different from the front end upper member 11 .

[0048] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first headlamp support portion (in the present embodiment, the guide rail portion 23) on the vehicle body side that supports the protrusion 18 of the headlamp 10 from below is provided on the buffer bracket 14 on the vehicle body side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first headlamp support portion may be provided on another component on the vehicle body side that is different from the buffer bracket 14.

[0049] In addition, in the present embodiment, the left and right arms (second supported portions) 17 are provided on the headlamp 10, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and at least one second supported portion may be provided on the headlamp 10. For example, one arm (second supported portion) 17 may be provided on the headlamp 10, or three or more arms (second supported portions) 17 may be provided.

[0050] In addition, in the present embodiment, the left and right arms 17 of the headlamp 10 are arranged above the convex portion 18, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the left and right arms 17 may be arranged below the convex portion 18. For example, the left and right arms 17 may be provided at the lower end of the lamp body 16, and the convex portion 18 may be provided at the upper end of the lamp body 16.

[0051] In addition, in the present embodiment, in order to avoid interference between the lamp body 16 and the fender body 13 when the headlamp 10 is mounted, the area 27 capable of guiding the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 downward is provided in the guide rail portion 23, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in order to avoid interference between the lamp body 16 and the fender body 13 when the headlamp 10 is mounted, in the case where the convex portion 18 of the headlamp 10 is guided upward, the area capable of guiding the convex portion 18 upward may be provided in the guide rail portion 23. That is, the guide rail portion 23 may be formed in a shape capable of guiding the headlamp 10 rearward while avoiding interference between the lamp body 16 and the fender body 13.
