The object may be an object that must be secured in the vehicle in order to ensure the safety of the objects to be loaded into the vehicle. The object can be, for example, a wheelchair in which a handicapped person takes place.Assuming that the object to be secured is a wheelchair in which a handicapped person sits, the present disclosure will be described.Magnetic modules 300 are provided in the vehicle. The wheelchair-mounted attachment module 100 is partially inserted (inserted) into the magnet module 300 such that the wheelchair including the attachment module 100 is mechanically secured. Moreover, a magnetic element M may be provided within the magnetic module 300 and mechanically and magnetically fix the attachment module such that the wheelchair may be secured in the vehicle.FIG. 4 is a view exemplarily showing a state in which the pair of attachment modules 100 on the wheelchair are inserted into the magnetic modules 300 on the floor of the vehicle such that the wheelchair is secured in the vehicle.Meanwhile, the attachment module 100 may be attached to any part of the object that needs to be secured. However, the attachment module 100 may be attached to a lower end portion of the object in consideration of the center of gravity of the object and the distance to the ground surface.In addition, the magnet module 300 may be mounted at any location in the vehicle. The magnet module 300 may be mounted on the top surface of the floor, for example.The magnet module 300 comprises a fastening holder 310 which serves for the mechanical fastening of the fastening module 100. In the fixing bracket 310, a guide groove 315 is formed which guides a direction in which the fixing module 100 is inserted.The attachment module 100 includes an attachment guide 110 configured to be inserted into the attachment holder 310. When the fixing guide 110 is fully inserted into the fixing holder 310 along the guide groove 315 formed in the fixing holder 310, the fixing holder 310 restricts movement of the fixing guide 110.FIG. 5 is a view exemplarily showing a state in which the fixing guide is coupled to the fixing bracket. FIG. 6 is a view exemplarily showing a state in which the fixing guide is coupled to the fixing bracket.The shape of the fixing holder 310 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. An end portion of the fixing holder 310 at which the insertion of the fixing guide 110 starts is V-shaped, and an area of an inlet of the fixing holder 310 decreases inwardly. Therefore, the insertion direction of the fixing guide 110 can be guided by the shape of an end portion of the fixing holder 310 when the fixing guide 110 is inserted into the fixing holder 310. The position of the mounting guide 110 can be fixed when the mounting guide 110 passes first through the large inlet of the mounting bracket 310 and then through a point where the inlet gradually decreases, so that the movement of the mounting guide 110 can be restricted.In addition, an inclined surface 316 may be formed on an end portion of the fixing holder 310 at which the insertion of the fixing guide 110 starts. The mounting guide 110 may be inserted into the mounting bracket 310 while moving downward by sliding along the inclined surface 316 formed on the mounting bracket 310. A protruding portion 115 may be formed at an end portion of the mounting guide 110 and protruding downward, and a stepped portion 305 recessed inward may be formed in the magnet module. When the mounting guide 110 is fully inserted into the mounting bracket 310, the protruding portion 115 may be coupled by being caught by the stepped portion 305 such that the mounting guide 110 may be fully inserted into the mounting bracket 310.The attachment module 100 may further include an attachment bracket 130 provided on the object to be attached and configured to connect the attachment guide 110 to the object to be attached. The fixing bracket 130 is configured as an intermediate connection body between the fixing guide 110 and the object. The mounting bracket 130 must be fixedly connected to the object to prevent the mounting bracket 130 from disengaging from the object.Between the mounting bracket 130 and the mounting guide 110, guide bolts 120 may be provided, and the guide bolts 120 may connect the mounting bracket 130 and the mounting guide 110. An elastic member S may be provided on an outer circumferential surface of the guide bolt 120, and the elastic member S abuts on the fixing guide 110 such that the guide bolt 120 can move up and down in the fixing guide 110.The guide bolts 120 may be provided as a plurality of guide bolts 120 between the mounting guide 110 and the mounting bracket 130.Therefore, the fixing guide 110 can be coupled to the fixing bracket 310, although play partially exists between the fixing guide 110 and the fixing bracket 310 when the fixing guide 110 is inserted into the fixing bracket 310 while the guide bolt 120 can catch the play during the movement.Moreover, the elastic member S can contract or expand by upward / downward vibrations, thereby flexibly coping with the upward / downward vibrations.The fixing holder 310 provided on the magnet module 300 may mechanically fix the fixing module 100, and the magnetic member M provided inside the magnet module 300 may magnetically fix the fixing module 100.Referring to FIG. 3, a pair of magnetic members may be provided inside the magnet module. A first magnetic element M1 may be provided so that the directions of its poles are fixed, and a second magnetic element M2 may be provided so that the directions of its poles are changeable. Therefore, when the directions of the magnetic poles of the second magnetic member M 2 are changed while the fixing module 100 is inserted, the fixing module 100 can be magnetically fixed to the magnet module 300 or detached from the magnet module 300.That is, as illustrated in FIG. 3, when the second magnetic member M 2 rotates such that the pole of the second magnetic member M 2 and the pole of the first magnetic member M 1 are directed in the same direction, a magnetic force is generated to pull the mounting module 100 toward the magnetic module 300 when the magnetic flux passes through the mounting guide 110 of the mounting module 100, such that the mounting module 100 can be magnetically coupled to the magnetic module 300.On the other hand, in order to loosen the fixing module 100, when the second magnetic member M 2 rotates such that the pole of the second magnetic member M 2 and the pole of the first magnetic member M 1 are directed in opposite directions, the magnetic flux defines paths only in the magnetic module 300 without passing through the fixing module 100 such that the fixing module 100 is magnetically decoupled from the magnetic module 300.Meanwhile, the first magnetic element M 1 may have the shape of a rod and the second magnetic element M 2 may have the shape of a circle. A coil C may be provided between the first magnetic element M 1 and the second magnetic element M 2, and the directions of the magnetic poles of the second magnetic element M 2 may be changed when the direction of the energy applied to the coil C is changed. That is, when current is applied to the coil C, the coil C is configured as an electromagnet and rotates the second magnetic element M 2 according to the polarity of the current applied to the coil C.Alternatively, the second magnetic element M 2 is not connected to the coil, but the second magnetic element M 2 may be connected to an electric motor for rotating the second magnetic element M 2 such that the directions of the magnetic poles of the second magnetic element M 2 may be changed by the operation of the electric motor. That is, when the electric motor is energized, the second magnetic member M 2 may be rotated by a rotational force of the electric motor such that the directions of the magnetic poles of the second magnetic member M 2 may be changed. The second magnetic element M 2 may be directly coupled to the electric motor. Moreover, a reduction gear may be provided between the electric motor and the second magnetic member M 2 to transmit the rotational force of the electric motor to the second magnetic member M 2.Meanwhile, the magnet module 300 may include a lower plate 330 provided in a floor F of the vehicle and a housing 350 containing the magnetic member M connected to the lower plate 330 and configured to form an outer wall of the magnet module 300.A pair of pole plates 355 may be provided inside the housing 350 and configured to define magnetic flux travel paths. The first magnetic member M 1 may be provided inside the pole plates 355 such that the directions of the magnetic poles thereof are fixed, and the second magnetic member M 2 may be provided inside the pole plates 355 such that the directions of the magnetic poles thereof are changeable according to the rotation of the second magnetic member M 2.In the present case, the coil C or the electric motor may be housed in the housing 350 to rotate the second magnetic member M 2.Meanwhile, the lower plate 330 and the housing 350 may be connected to each other by a guide pin 340 having an outer circumferential surface on which an elastic member S is provided, and the guide pin 340 is configured to be movable leftward and rightward in the lower plate 330.Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the guide pin 340 may penetrate the lower plate 330 and the housing 350 in a width direction of the lower plate 330 and connect the lower plate 330 and the housing. The elastic members S are provided on an outer circumferential surface of the guide bolt 340, and the elastic members S are simultaneously in contact with the lower plate 330 and the housing 350 such that the guide bolt 340 can move in the left / right direction.The guide pin 340 may be provided as a plurality of guide pins 340 in the width direction of the lower plate 330.The guide pin 340 may be provided to absorb tolerances of the mounting module 100 and the magnet module 300 that may occur in the width direction of the lower plate 330. The elastic members S provided on the outer circumferential surface of the guide pin 340 may be contracted or expanded by vibrations in the width direction, and flexibly compensate for the vibrations in the width direction.Meanwhile, various types of objects may need to be mounted on the vehicle, and the height at which the mounting module 100 is mounted may vary depending on the type of the objects. Even if the objects are of the same type, they may differ in the height at which the attachment modules 100 are attached. Even if the wheelchairs are of the same type, the wheelchairs can be manufactured by different manufacturers, and the wheelchairs can differ in the positions where the attachment modules 100 are attached.Therefore, a height adjustment portion 400 may be provided at a lateral side of the lower plate 330 and configured to adjust a height of the magnet module 300 by moving the lower plate 330 up and down.Referring to FIG. 7, the height adjustment portion 400 may include stepping motors 410 provided on the side of the lower plate 330, and lead screws 430 connected to the stepping motors 410 and the floor F. Therefore, a height of the lower plate 330 can be adjusted by the operation (operation) of the stepping motor 410. The stepping motor 410 may be provided at a lateral side of an edge point of the lower plate 330, and the lead screw 430 may be provided at a position partially spaced from the lower plate 330 such that the lower plate 330 may be connected to the lead screw 430 via the stepping motor 410.Therefore, the lower plate 330 can move up or down when the stepping motor 410 is driven by the power applied to the stepping motor 410.Meanwhile, a first sensor S 1 may be provided on the upper side of the floor F of the vehicle and measure a distance from a lower side of the mounting module 100. A controller 500 may be further provided to control the operation of the stepping motor 410 based on a detection value of the first sensor S 1.The first sensor S 1 may measure the distance from the bottom of the attachment module 100 on the object. The controller 500 may be further provided to move the lower plate 330 up or down by controlling the operation of the stepping motor 410 such that the mounting guide 110 of the mounting module 100 may be inserted into the mounting bracket 310.In the case that the lower plate 330 is moved completely up or down to an appropriate height, the controller 500 may be configured to control a signal sound generating operation indicating that the mounting guide 110 may be inserted into the mounting bracket 310.Moreover, a second sensor S 2 may be provided on the mounting bracket 310 and measure a distance from the mounting guide 110. The controller 500 may be configured to determine whether the mounting guide 110 is fully inserted (inserted) from a detection value of the second sensor S 2, and control a process of generating a signal indicating that the mounting guide 110 is fully inserted.The sensors S 1 and S 2 can be conventional sensors which are used not only as ultrasonic sensors but also for measuring distances between objects.FIG. 8 is a view exemplarily showing the magnet module from which the fixing bracket is detached. Referring to FIG. 8, the magnetic module 300 may include the housing 350 having the magnetic member M therein configured to form an outer wall of the magnetic module 300 and a top plate 370 configured to cover a top surface of the housing 350.The mounting bracket 310 may be detachably attached to the top surface of the top plate 370 and include the guide groove 315 formed therein. Coupling holes 375 may be formed in the top surface of the top plate 370, and the fixing bracket 310 may be fixed or detached through the coupling holes 375.That is, as long as the object can be fixed to the vehicle by the fixing bracket 310, the fixing bracket 310 may be attached to the top plate 370, and then the object may be fixed to the vehicle.In contrast, in some cases, when an object that does not require the mounting bracket 310 is to be mounted on the vehicle, a part of the mounting module 100 provided on the object to be mounted may be inserted into the coupling hole 375 such that the object to be mounted may be mechanically mounted on an upper portion of the upper plate 370.The object for which the mounting bracket 310 is not required may be, for example, a console device C configured to control some functions of the vehicle. Referring to FIG. 9, a fixing module may be provided to the console device C, and the console device may be fixed to the top plate of the magnet module by the fixing module. In the present case, the fastening module can be magnetically coupled to the magnet module by the magnetic element provided in the interior of the magnet module.At the same time, the console device C needs to be electrically connected to the vehicle to control some functions of the vehicle. Therefore, a plurality of current vias 371 and a plurality of signal vias 373 may be formed in the upper surface of the upper plate 370. The mounting module 100 may include power contacts 176 inserted into the plurality of power contact holes 371 and signal contacts 178 inserted into the plurality of signal contact holes 373 such that the top plate 370 and the mounting module 100 may be electrically connected.Referring to FIG. 10, a cargo connector may be provided in the power terminal opening 371, and a cargo pin is provided in the power terminal such that the cargo connector and the cargo pin may be connected by coming into electrical contact with each other.The signal contact hole 373 and the signal contact 178 may also be connected by a cargo terminal, a cargo pin, or signal pin 374.
