Description

Technical Field

[0001] The technology involved in the present invention belongs to the technical field related to installation components. Background Art

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a structure for assembling a vehicle emblem to a vehicle grille. In the structure disclosed in Patent Document 1, the installation of the vehicle emblem member is stabilized by the vehicle emblem member having a through hole and the grille having a pin inserted into the through hole.

[0003] [Prior art literature] [Patent Literature] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2019-217934. Summary of the invention

[0004] [Technical problem to be solved by the invention] As described in Patent Document 1, when mounting a mounting member such as a vehicle emblem to a mounted member such as a grille, a fastening structure is generally provided on one side of the mounted member.

[0005] However, if the fastening structure of Patent Document 1 is not pre-set on the mounted member, a structure for mounting the mounting member is required separately. At this time, shaking may occur according to different mounting methods, so a mounting structure for stabilizing and preventing shaking is required.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting member that can be mounted on a mounting member in a stable state without causing any shake, without using a fastening structure on the mounting member.

[0007]

Technical means to solve technical problems

[0008] According to the above scheme, an inclined portion is provided from the front end of the stopper to the base portion, which is inclined from the other side of the second direction to one side. Thus, when the second member is installed, the second member is gradually moved to the base portion of the stopper in the third direction from the state in which the front end of the stopper is inclined relative to the first member in the third direction, so that the stopper can stop the stopper. At this time, the first member is subjected to a force from the stopper toward the other side of the second direction. Since the first hanging portion is hung on the first skeleton portion from one side of the second direction, when a force toward the other side of the second direction is input to the first member, the movement toward one side of the second direction will be restricted at the first hanging portion. On the other hand, the second member is subjected to a force from the stopper toward one side of the second direction at the stopper. Since the second hanging portion is hung on the first skeleton portion from the other side of the second direction, when a force toward one side of the second direction is input to the second member, the movement toward the other side of the second direction will be restricted at the second hanging portion. Through the cooperation of the first member and the second member, the first member and the second member can be installed on the installed member without providing a fastening structure on the installed member. Furthermore, it is possible to suppress the loosening of the mounting member in the second direction, and to perform mounting in a stabilized state.

[0009] In another embodiment of the present invention, the first hooking portion and the second hooking portion may be hooked to the first frame portion from the same side of the third direction of the mounted component. Thus, the first component and the second component can be mounted from the same side of the third direction of the mounted component, thereby improving the operability during mounting.

[0010] In another aspect of the present invention, the locking portion may include a rib portion, which extends in the first direction and the third direction and abuts against the locked portion. Thus, the rigidity of the locking portion can be improved, and the locking portion and the locked portion can be easily positioned when locked. By positioning the locking portion and the locked portion, an appropriate force can be input to the first and second locking portions to a degree that can limit movement in the second direction and prevent the first and second locking portions from deforming.

[0011] In another aspect of the present invention, the first stopper and the second stopper may be provided in plural numbers, thereby limiting the movement of the first member and the second member at different locations, and reliably preventing the members from rattling in the second direction.

[0012] In another aspect of the present invention, the invention may include a fastening member for fastening the first member and the second member. This makes it possible to more reliably fix the first member and the second member, and more reliably suppress the looseness in the second direction.

[0013] In another embodiment of the present invention, the mounted component may be a vehicle grille having the first frame portion and a second frame portion extending in the second direction. Thus, the first component and the second component can be mounted on the vehicle grille without providing a fastening structure on the vehicle grille, and shaking in the second direction can be suppressed.

[0014] In another aspect of the present invention, the first member and the second member may be decorative members. Thus, the decorative member can be mounted on the vehicle grille without providing a fastening structure on the vehicle grille, and the decorative member can be prevented from shaking in the second direction.

[0015] [Effects of the invention] As described above, the present invention can stably mount the mounting member without causing any looseness even if a fastening structure is not provided in advance on the mounted member side.

[0024] The decoration member 3 includes a first member 4 and a second member 5 , and the first member 4 and the second member 5 are locked and attached to the grille member 2 .

[0025] Next, use Figure 3 to Figure 5 A structural example of the decorative member 3 will be described.

[0026] use Figure 3 A structural example of the first member 4 will be described. Figure 3 This is a perspective view of the first member 4 before being installed in the grille member 2, as seen from the right rear of the vehicle. The first member 4 is a resin member including a main body 41, a first hooking portion 42 formed integrally with the main body 41, a locking portion 43, a rib 44 provided on the locking portion 43, and a first insertion hole 45.

[0027] The main body 41 extends in the vehicle width direction and the vehicle up-down direction. The surface of the main body 41 on the vehicle front side forms a design surface.

[0028] The first hooking parts 42 extend upward from the upper end of the main body 41. The first hooking parts 42 are formed to be separated from each other in the vehicle width direction. The upper end of the first hooking part 42 is a hook shape that bends from the front side to the rear side.

[0030] The locking portion 43 protrudes from the main body 41 toward the rear of the vehicle and extends in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction of the vehicle. The locking portion 43 is formed in a trapezoidal shape that expands from the front end to the base end in the up-down direction of the vehicle in a side view. An inclined portion 43a that is inclined from the lower side to the upper side from the front end to the base end of the locking portion 43 is formed on the upper side portion of the locking portion 43. In addition, the locking portion 43 is located in the vehicle width position between the right first locking portion 42a and the center first locking portion 42b.

[0031] The rib portion 44 is formed along the surfaces of both sides of the locking portion 43 in the vehicle width direction. The rib portion 44 protrudes from the main body 41 to the rear side and extends in the vehicle front-rear direction and the vehicle width direction. The rib portion 44 is formed in a trapezoidal shape that expands in the vehicle width direction toward the main body 41 side in a top view. The rib portion 44 improves the rigidity of the locking portion 43. In addition, the rear end of the rib portion 44 is located on the front side of the rear end of the locking portion 43.

[0032] The first insertion holes 45 are provided to allow the fastening member 6 described later to be inserted. The first insertion holes 45 are hollow cylindrical shapes protruding from the main body 41 to the rear. One first insertion hole 45a is formed just below the stopper 43. Another first insertion hole 45b is formed at the same height position as the first insertion hole 45a and at a vehicle width position between the left first stopper 42c and the center first stopper 42b.

[0033] Next use Figure 4 A structural example of the second member 5 will be described. Figure 4 1 is a perspective view of the second member 5 before being attached to the grille member 2 as seen from the right rear side. The second member 5 is a resin member including an upper body 51 and a lower body 52 integrally formed, a second hooking portion 53, a locked portion 54, and a second insertion hole 55.

[0034] The upper body portion 51 extends in the vehicle width direction and the vehicle vertical direction. The upper end of the upper body portion 51 is bent toward the front side. The lower body portion 52 protrudes toward the rear side in a side view and is open at the front side. The lower body portion 52 is formed integrally with the upper body portion 51 in a manner extending from the lower end of the upper body portion 51 toward the lower side of the vehicle.

[0035] The plurality of second hanging parts 53 extend forward from the lower end of the lower main body 52. ​​The plurality of second hanging parts 53 are separated from each other. The front end of the second hanging part 53 is a hook shape that bends from the front side to the rear side. The plurality of second hanging parts 53 are hung from the front side and the lower side on the horizontal part 21 located at the lower side of the first hanging part 42.

[0036] The plurality of second hooking parts 53 include a right second hooking part 53a disposed on the rightmost side, a left second hooking part 53c disposed on the leftmost side, and a center second hooking part 53b disposed at a vehicle width position between the right second hooking part 53a and the left second hooking part 53c.

[0037] The latched portion 54 is a rectangular hole formed in the upper body portion 51 and extending in the vertical direction of the vehicle. Ribs having a triangular shape in a side view are formed on both sides of the vehicle width of the latched portion 54 as reinforcement members for connecting the upper body portion 51 and the upper side of the protruding portion of the lower body portion 52.

[0038] The plurality of second insertion holes 55 can be inserted with the later-described fastening member 6. The second insertion holes 55 are circular holes formed in the surface extending in the vehicle vertical direction and the vehicle width direction in the protruding portion of the lower body portion 52. One second insertion hole 55a is formed just below the locking portion 43. Another second insertion hole 55b is formed at the same height position as the one second insertion hole 55a and at a vehicle width position between the left second locking portion 53c and the center second locking portion 53b.

[0039] Next use Figure 5 The relationship between the first member 4 and the second member 5 will be described. Figure 5 From the rear side of the grille member 2 Figure 2 The decorative member 3 includes a first member 4 and a second member 5 located at the rear side of the first member 4.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, when the first member 4 and the second member 5 are installed on the grille member 2, the positional relationship of the components of the first member 4 and the second member 5 is as follows when viewed from the rear side of the grille member 2. The right second hanging portion 53a is located on the right side of the right first hanging portion 42a, the central second hanging portion 53b is located between the right first hanging portion 42a and the central first hanging portion 42b, and the left second hanging portion 53c is located between the central first hanging portion 42b and the left first hanging portion 42c.

[0041] The locked portion 54 overlaps with the locking portion 43 in the vehicle front-to-back direction so that the locking portion 43 can be inserted. The second insertion hole 55a overlaps with the first insertion hole 45a in the vehicle front-to-back direction, and the second insertion hole 55b overlaps with the first insertion hole 45b in the vehicle front-to-back direction. As described later, the plurality of fastening members 6 are respectively inserted into the plurality of second insertion holes 55 and the plurality of first insertion holes 45 to fasten the first member 4 and the second member 5.

[0042] Next use Figure 6 A method of installing the decorative member 3 on the grille member 2 is described.

[0043] First, the first member 4 is installed from the rear side of the grille member 2. After the plurality of first stoppers 42 are inserted into the gaps between the longitudinal portions 22, the hook-shaped portions at the upper ends hook the first transverse portion 21a from the front and upper sides of the grille member 2. Thus, the hook-shaped portions at the upper ends of the first stoppers 42 abut against the upper side surface of the first transverse portion 21a, restricting the first member 4 from moving downward.

[0044] Next, the second member 5 is installed from the rear side of the grille member 2. After the plurality of second stoppers 53 are inserted into the gap between the lower end of the first member 4 and the longitudinal portion 22, the hook-shaped portion of the front end hooks the first transverse portion 21a from the front and lower side of the grille member 2. Thus, the hook-shaped portion of the front end of the second stopper 53 abuts against the lower side of the first transverse portion 21a, restricting the second member 5 from moving upward.

[0045] Next, the locking portion 43 locks the locked portion 54. As described above, the upper portion of the locking portion 43 is formed with an inclined portion 43a that is inclined from the lower side to the upper side from the front end to the base end of the locking portion 43. Figure 6 As shown, the upper portion of the second member 5 is moved forward from a state where the upper portion of the second member 5 is tilted rearward relative to the first member 4 , so that the locking portion 43 is inserted through the locked portion 54 , and the locked portion 54 is locked by the locking portion 43 .

[0046] At this time, the inclined portion 43a contacts the side on the vehicle upper side of the side forming the rectangular hole of the locked portion 54. In addition, the rear end portion of the rib portion 44 contacts the second member 5.

[0047] Finally, the plurality of fastening members 6 are inserted into the overlapping plurality of first insertion holes 45 and second insertion holes 55 , so that the first member 4 and the second member 5 are fastened and fixed.

[0048] The decorative member 3 is mounted on the grille member 2 by the above method. In addition, the design surface of the first member 4 can be seen from the gap of the grid-shaped grille member 2 in the front view. In addition, the upper body portion 51 and the lower body portion 52 of the second member 5 are located on the vehicle rear side of the body portion 41 of the first member.

[0049] Next, use Figure 7 to Figure 9 The structure when the decorative member 3 is mounted on the grille member 2 will be described.

[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, the inclined portion 43 a of the locking portion 43 abuts against the side of the locked portion 54 that forms the rectangular hole and is located on the upper side of the vehicle.

[0051] At the contact portion between the inclined portion 43 a and the locked portion 54 , the second member 5 generates a force that pulls the first member 4 downward.

[0052] Furthermore, the first member 4 is stopped from the upper side by the first stopper 42. That is, the first member 4 is restricted from moving downward by the first stopper 42.

[0053] That is, the first member 4 is subjected to a downward force at the contact portion with the locked portion 54, thereby limiting upward movement, and is also limited in downward movement by the first locking portion 42. Therefore, the first member 4 is limited in both vertical movement.

[0054] On the other hand, at the contact portion between the inclined portion 43a and the locked portion 54, the first member 4 generates a force that pulls the second member 5 upward. The direction of this force is upward. In addition, the second member 5 is locked from the lower side by the second locking portion 53. That is, the second member 5 is restricted from moving upward by the second locking portion 53.

[0055] That is, the second member 5 is subjected to an upward force at the contact portion with the inclined portion 43a, so that downward movement is restricted, while upward movement is also restricted by the second stopper 53. Therefore, the second member 5 is restricted in both vertical movement.

[0056] Furthermore, by providing the inclined portion 43 a , the upper portion of the second member 5 is gradually moved toward the vehicle front side from a state where the upper portion of the second member 5 is inclined toward the vehicle rear side relative to the first member 4 during installation, so that the locked portion 54 is locked by the locking portion 43 .

[0057] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the inclined portion 43a is set to an inclination angle at which the stopped portion 54 does not slip when the inclined portion 43a is in contact with the stopped portion 54. Specifically, the inclination angle of the inclined portion 43a is set to an inclination angle at which, among the forces acting on the stopped portion 54, the static friction force between the stopper 43 and the stopped portion 54 is greater than the backward force along the inclined portion 43a when the inclined portion 43a is in contact with the stopped portion 54.

[0058] As described above, in the first member 4 and the second member 5, the locking portion 43 and the locked portion 54 are locked to each other, further restricting the movement to the lower side and the opposite direction to the upper side. Therefore, the decorative member 3 including the first member 4 and the second member 5 can be installed without providing a fastening structure on the grille member 2, and the decorative member 3 can be suppressed from shaking in the upper and lower directions.

[0059] The first member 4 and the second member 5 are both mounted on the back side of the grille member 2, i.e., the rear side of the vehicle. In particular, the first stopper 42 and the second stopper 53 are hung on the lateral portion 21 from the front side, so that the first member 4 and the second member 5 can be mounted from the same side of the grille member 2 when the members are mounted, thereby improving the operability during mounting.

[0060] Figure 8 is along Figure 5 sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII of FIG. In the locking portion 43, the rib portion 44 is extended in the vehicle vertical direction and the vehicle width direction along each surface in the vehicle width direction. Thus, the rigidity of the locking portion 43 is improved. In addition, the rear end of the rib portion 44 abuts against the second member 5, so that the locking portion 43 and the locked portion 54 are easily positioned when they are locked. By positioning the locking portion 43 and the locked portion 54, an appropriate force can be input to the first hanging portion 42 and the second hanging portion 53 to a degree that can limit the movement in the vertical direction and prevent the first hanging portion 42 and the second hanging portion 53 from being deformed.

[0061] In addition, a plurality of first stoppers 42 and second stoppers 53 are provided. Thus, the first member 4 and the second member 5 can be restricted from moving in the vertical direction at different locations, and the vertical shaking of the decorative member 3 can be reliably suppressed.

[0062] Furthermore, the decorative member 3 includes a plurality of fastening members 6 for fastening the first member 4 and the second member 5. This makes it possible to more reliably fix the first member 4 and the second member 5, and more reliably suppress the vertical shaking.

[0063] (Other Implementations) The technology of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be replaced within the scope of the claims.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first hanging portion 42 is hung from the upper side and the second hanging portion 53 is hung from the lower side, but the present invention is not limited to this. The hanging direction can be any direction as long as it is the opposite direction, and the up-down direction, left-right direction, front-back direction, and any direction are applicable.

[0065] In this embodiment, the mounted component is a grille component 2 including a plurality of first and second transverse portions 21a, 21b and a longitudinal portion 22 formed integrally, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the mounted component may have only one of the transverse portion and the longitudinal portion.

[0066] In this embodiment, the inclined portion 43a is provided on the entire upper portion of the locking portion 43, but is not limited to this. A horizontal portion may be provided on a portion of the upper portion of the locking portion 43, and inclined portions may be provided on the front and rear sides of the horizontal portion respectively.

[0067] In the embodiments, an example of applying the present invention when a decorative member is installed on a grille member is described, but the examples to which the present invention can be applied are not limited thereto. For example, the mounted member is not limited to the grille member, but may be other members provided on the vehicle, and may be various members used outside the vehicle, such as building fences, furniture and lattice members for home appliances. The mounting member is not limited to the decorative member, but may be various members such as a vehicle logo member and a sensor.

[0068] [Practicality] The member according to the present invention can be used when various mounting members are mounted on mounted members.
