[0018] [Fig.l] to 8 are diagrams illustrating the electrical component mounting structure according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] A configuration is first described. In [Fig.l] and 5, a vehicle 1 is provided with a vehicle body 2. The vehicle body 2 is provided with an instrument panel 3, a cowl panel 4, a side panel 5, and a steering support member 6 at the front. The instrument panel 3 extends in the vehicle width direction between an engine compartment (not shown) and a vehicle passenger compartment to separate the engine compartment from the vehicle passenger compartment. The instrument panel extends upward from a front edge of a floor surface of the vehicle passenger compartment.

[0020] The cowl panel 4 is connected to an upper portion of the instrument panel 3 and extends in the vehicle width direction. The side panel 5 extends in the vehicle front-rear direction and in the vehicle up-down direction. The side panels 5 are provided in pairs on the left and right sides at the front of the vehicle 1 and connected to end portions in the vehicle width direction of the instrument panel 3 and the cowl panel 4.

[0021] The steering support member 6 is arranged at a rear of the cowl panel 4 and extends in the vehicle width direction. The steering support member 6 supports a rotation shaft of a steering wheel (not shown). The two end portions of the steering support member 6 are each connected to the side panel 5.

[0022] In [Fig. 2] and 3, the vehicle 1 is provided with the first controller 11, the second controller 12 and a mounting bracket 20. The first controller 11 and the second controller 12 consist of control units (in English: ECU, or Electronic Control Unit) which electrically control, for example, the electrical connection box or the drive of a motor (not shown) of the vehicle 1 or the like.

[0023] The first controller 11 and the second controller 12 are formed as rectangular parallelepipeds made of two long sides and one short side. The second controller 12 is smaller than the first controller 11, having a size equal to about 1 / 4 of the first controller 11. The first controller 11 constitutes an electrical component and a first electrical component of the present invention. The second controller 12 constitutes a second electrical component of the present invention.

[0024] In [Fig. 3], 4 and 5, the mounting bracket 20 comprises a main bracket 21 and a sub-bracket 27. The main bracket 21, together with the sub-bracket 27, holds the first controller 11. The main bracket 21 is attached to the cowl panel 4 and the side panel 5 of the vehicle body 2.

[0025] The first controller 11 and the mounting bracket 20 are arranged behind the cowl panel 4 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and in front of the element of steering support 6 (see [Fig.5]).

[0026] In [Fig.l] and 5, the vehicle 1 is provided with an instrument panel 7 on which instruments (not shown) are arranged. The instrument panel 7 is arranged behind the first controller 11 and the steering support member 6, and covers the first controller 11 and the steering support member 6 from the rear and above.

[0027] In [Fig. 3], 4 and 5, the main bracket 21 of the mounting bracket 20 comprises a body portion 22 to which the first controller 11 is attached, a front leg portion 24 extending forwardly from the body portion 22, an upper leg portion 25 extending upwardly from the body portion 22 and a lower leg portion 26 extending downwardly from the body portion 22.

[0028] In [Fig.7], the body portion 22 as a whole has the shape of a rectangular flat plate and holds the first controller 11. A rectangular opening 23 for weight reduction and heat dissipation or the like of the first controller 11 is formed in a central portion of the body portion 22. The front leg portion 24, the upper leg portion 25 and the lower leg portion 26 are connected to the vehicle body 2 by means of bolts 30.

[0029] In [Fig.6], the cowl panel 4 includes a front mounting point 4A to which the front leg portion 24 is connected. The side panel 5 includes an upper mounting point 5A to which the upper leg portion 25 is connected and a lower mounting point 5B to which the lower leg portion 26 is connected. The front mounting point 4A, the upper mounting point 5A and the lower mounting point 5B are regions where the front leg portion 24, the upper leg portion 25 and the lower leg portion 26 are fixed by tightening the bolts 30, and include bolt holes (not shown) through which the bolts 30 are tightened.

[0030] In [Fig.5], the lower mounting point 5B of the side panel 5 is disposed behind the front mounting point 4A of the cowl panel 4. The upper mounting point 5A of the side panel 5 is disposed above the steering support member 6 and behind the lower mounting point 5B. In other words, the lower mounting point 5B is disposed behind the front mounting point 4A in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The upper mounting point 5A is disposed behind the lower mounting point 5B.

[0031] The upper leg portion 25 of the mounting bracket 20 is inclined upwardly and rearwardly toward an upper portion in side view of the vehicle. Thus, the upper leg portion 25 extends diagonally upwardly and rearwardly from an upper portion of the body portion 22. On the other hand, the lower leg portion 26 extends directly downward from a lower portion of the body portion 22 in side view of the vehicle. The front leg portion 24 extends forward from an upper portion of a front end portion of the body portion 22 in side view of the vehicle.

[0032] In [Fig.8], the front leg portion 24 of the mounting bracket 20 is disposed at a position closer to the upper leg portion 25 than the lower leg portion 26 in the up-down direction of the vehicle. In other words, a distance between the front leg portion 24 and the upper leg portion 25 in the up-down direction of the vehicle is less than a distance between the front leg portion 24 and the lower leg portion 26.

[0033] In [Fig. 3] and 5, the front leg portion 24 of the mounting bracket 20 is located above the steering support member 6 in the up-down direction of the vehicle. The steering support member 6 is disposed behind the first controller 11 and the second controller 12. Note that the steering support member 6 is shown by a broken line so as to display the entire first controller 11 or the like in [Fig. 3].

[0034] In [Fig. 3] and 4, the body portion 22 of the mounting bracket 20 is disposed away from the side panel 5 in the vehicle width direction. In other words, the upper leg portion 25 and the lower leg portion 26 of the mounting bracket 20 extend to the right in the vehicle width direction from the body portion 22 toward the side panel 5 so as to form a gap between the body portion 22 and the side panel 5 on the left.

[0035] The front leg portion 24 of the mounting bracket 20 extends to the left in the vehicle width direction from the body portion 22 along the cowl panel 4 so as to form a gap between the 22 forming portion and the cowl panel 4 in front of the body portion 22. Therefore, the 22 forming portion is disposed away from the cowl panel 4 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0036] The cowl panel 4 includes an inclined portion 4B, and the inclined portion 4B is inclined toward the front as a distance of the inclined portion 4B from the side panel 5 increases from a position closest to the first controller 11 in the vehicle width direction. The front mounting point 4A is disposed at the inclined portion 4B. The front leg portion 24 is disposed between the first controller 11 and the cowl panel 4 opposite the first controller 11 and the cowl panel 4, and extends along the inclined portion 4B.

[0037] In [Fig. 3], 4 and 6, the upper leg portion 25 comprises an upper communication portion 25A which extends from the body portion 22 towards the side panel 5 and an upper mounting portion 25B which extends from the body portion 22 towards the side panel 5. upper communication portion 25A substantially parallel to the side panel 5 and is connected to the upper mounting point 5A. The upper mounting portion 25B is a region at a distal end of the upper leg portion 25 in the extension direction. The upper communication portion 25A is a region between the upper mounting portion 25B of the upper leg portion 25 and the body portion 22.

[0038] The lower leg portion 26 includes a lower communication portion 26A that extends from the body portion 22 toward the side panel 5 and a lower mounting portion 26B that extends from the lower communication portion 26A substantially parallel to the side panel 5 and is connected to the lower mounting point 5B. The lower mounting portion 26B is a region at a distal end of the lower leg portion 26 in the extension direction. The lower communication portion 26A is a region of the lower leg portion 26 between the lower mounting portion 26B and the body portion 22.

[0039] The front leg portion 24 includes a front communication portion 24A that extends from the body portion 22 along the cowl panel 4 and a front mounting portion 24B that further extends from the front communication portion 24A along the cowl panel 4 and is connected to the front mounting point 4A. The front mounting portion 24B is a region at a distal end of the front leg portion 24 in the extension direction. The front communication portion 24A is a region of the front leg portion 24 between the front mounting portion 24B and the body portion 22.

[0040] In [Fig.3], an elongated hole 24C extending in the vehicle width direction, which is an extension direction of the front mounting portion 24B, is formed in the front mounting portion 24B, and the fixing bolt 30 is inserted into the elongated hole 24C. When the elongated hole 24C is formed in the front mounting portion 24B, it is possible to adjust a fixing position of the front mounting portion 24B to the cowl panel 4.

[0041] The mounting bracket 20 includes an upper curved portion 22A between the body portion 22 and the upper communication portion 25A. The upper curved portion 22A is curved to the right between the body portion 22 and the upper communication portion 25A. A folding line of the upper curved portion 22A extends in the up-down direction of the vehicle. In the present embodiment, the folding line that forms the upper curved portion 22A as a whole extends in the up-down direction of the vehicle in a rearward and downward tilting state. Here, as described above, the upper leg portion 25 extends tilted rearward and upward from an upper portion of the body portion 22 in side view of the vehicle, and thus the upper curved portion 22A inclined backward and downward is orthogonal to the direction of extension of the upper leg portion 25.

[0042] The mounting bracket 20 includes a lower curved portion 22B between the body portion 22 and the lower communication portion 26A. The lower curved portion 22B is curved to the right between the body portion 22 and the lower communication portion 26A. The bending line of the lower curved portion 22B extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Here, since the lower leg portion 26 extends directly downward from a lower portion of the body portion 22 in side view of the vehicle, the lower curved portion 22B extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is orthogonal to the extension direction of the lower leg portion 26.

[0043] The mounting bracket 20 includes a front curved portion 22C between the body portion 22 and the front communication portion 24A. The front curved portion 22C is curved to the left between the body portion 22 and the front communication portion 24A. The bending line of the front curved portion 22C extends in the up-down direction of the vehicle.

[0044] Thus, in the present embodiment, the upper curved portion 22A and the lower curved portion 22B are curved to the right and the front curved portion 22C is curved to the left. In other words, when the upper curved portion 22A and the lower curved portion 22B are curved to the right from the body portion 22, the upper leg portion 25 and the lower leg portion 26 extend in a direction (to the right) in which the upper leg portion 25 and the lower leg portion 26 move away from the first controller 11 in the vehicle width direction.

[0045] On the other hand, when the front curved portion 22C is curved to the left from the body portion 22, the front leg portion 24 extends in a direction (to the left) in which the front leg portion 24 approaches the first controller in the vehicle width direction. As illustrated in [Fig.7], when the main bracket 21 of the mounting bracket 20 is viewed from the left side, the upper curved portion 22A and the lower curved portion 22B are curved in a so-called "mountain-folded" state, and the front curved portion 22C is curved in a so-called "valley-folded" state.

[0046] [Fig. 4] illustrates a top view of the vehicle of the first controller 11 and the body portion 22, and the first controller 11 and the body portion 22 are arranged in an inclined posture so as to approach the side panel 5 in the rearward direction with their longitudinal directions following the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Here, the longitudinal directions of the first controller 11 and the body portion 22 refer to the directions along the long sides of the first controller 11 and body portion 22 in top view. The front mounting point 4A is located on an opposite side of the side panel 5 relative to the body portion 22 in the vehicle width direction.

[0047] In [Fig.7], an upper end 25C of the upper leg portion 25 is disposed above an upper end 4C of the cowl panel 4. An upper end 26C of the lower leg portion 26 is disposed below a lower end 4D of the cowl panel 4. Here, the position of the upper end 26C of the lower leg portion 26 is equal to a position of a base portion of the lower leg portion 26. The lower curved portion 22B is provided at the base portion of the lower leg portion 26 as described above. The lower end 4D of the cowl panel 4 is a position where the cowl panel 4 is joined to the instrument panel 3.

[0048] In [Fig. 3], 4 and 6, the sub-bracket 27 of the mounting bracket 20 is attached to the body portion 22 with the first controller 11 sandwiched and held between the body portion 22 of the main bracket 21 and the sub-bracket 27. The second controller 12 is attached to the sub-bracket 27. The second controller 12 is attached to a surface on an opposite side of the first controller 11 of the sub-bracket 27. Thus, the sub-bracket 27 is sandwiched between the first controller 11 and the second controller 12.

[0049] In [Fig. 6], the sub-support 27 is connected at a position between the front leg portion 24, the upper leg portion 25 and the lower leg portion 26 of the body portion 22. More specifically, the sub-support 27 is connected at three locations: a vicinity of a base portion of the front leg portion 24 of the body portion 22, a vicinity of a base portion of the upper leg portion 25 of the body portion 22 and a rear end of the body portion 22. Each of these connecting regions is part of the body portion 22 and is a position between the front leg portion 24, the upper leg portion 25 and the lower leg portion 26 of the body portion 22.

[0050] The side panel 5 includes a flange portion 5D formed into an edge 5C and an angle portion 5E which is curved so as to rise from the flange portion 5D. The upper leg portion 25 is attached near the angle portion 5E. In other words, the aforementioned upper mounting point 5A is provided in the angle portion 5E of the side panel 5.

[0051] Here, the flange portion 5D is a region formed in a planar manner so that the side panel 5 can be joined to the other member (not shown) in a plane and is formed over the entire edge 5C of the side panel 5. The flange portion 5D is curved so as to be folded on a rear side in [Fig.6], and thus the flange portion 5D has high rigidity. A region of the side panel 5 comprising at least the upper mounting point 5A is curved so as to be located inside (inside the vehicle cabin) the flange portion 5D in the vehicle width direction. The corner portion 5E of the side panel 5 is a region where the region including the upper mounting point 5A begins to rise and curve from the flat flange portion 5D inside (inside the vehicle cabin) in the vehicle width direction. In the present embodiment, the corner portion 5E is curved so as to rise from the flange portion 5D at a right angle. Since the corner portion 5E of the side panel 5 is a region where a surface that constitutes the flange portion 5D and a surface orthogonal to the flange portion 5D are curved so as to intersect in an L shape at a right angle, thereby exhibiting high rigidity.

[0052] As described above, in the electrical component mounting structure of the present embodiment, the mounting bracket 20 comprises the body portion 22 to which the first controller 11 is attached, the front leg portion 24 extending forward from the body portion 22 and being attached to the cowl panel 4, the upper leg portion 25 extending upward from the body portion 22 and being attached to the side panel 5, and the lower leg portion 26 extending downward from the body portion 22 and being attached to the side panel 5. The upper end 25C of the upper leg portion 25 is disposed above the upper end 4C of the cowl panel 4, and the upper end 26C of the lower leg portion 26 is disposed below the bottom end 4D of the cowl panel 4.

[0053] Thus, when the cowl panel 4 and the side panel 5 that constitute the vehicle body 2 are connected by the mounting bracket 20, the mounting bracket 20 also functions as a reinforcing member, and thus the rigidity of the vehicle body 2 can be ensured. In addition, since the mounting bracket 20 can ensure the rigidity of the cowl panel 4 and the side panel 5 without providing any reinforcing member such as the corner gusset, it is possible to prevent interference with the reinforcing member that would cause degradation of the arrangement properties of the first controller 11. Accordingly, it is possible to ensure the rigidity of the vehicle body 2 without causing the arrangement properties of the first controller 11 to be degraded.

[0054] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the upper leg portion 25 and the lower leg portion 26 of the mounting bracket 20 are attached to the side panel 5 on either side of the cowl panel 4 in the up-down direction, if the first controller 11 vibrates when the vehicle 1 is driving, the vibration is transmitted to the cowl panel 4 via the front leg portion 24, the upper leg portion 25, and the lower leg portion 26 of the mounting bracket 20. mounting 20, and it is thus possible to prevent the vibration of the first controller 11 from being directly transmitted to the cowl panel 4 and to suppress the vibrations of the cowl panel 4 which constitutes the vehicle body 2.

[0055] In the electrical component mounting structure of the present embodiment, the sub-holder 27 of the mounting bracket 20 is attached to the body portion 22 with the first controller 11 sandwiched and held between the body portion 22 of the main bracket 21 and the sub-holder 27.

[0056] Since the first controller 11 is formed by being sandwiched between the body portion 22 and the sub-support 27 in this manner, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the body portion 22 of the mounting bracket 20 and improve the rigidity of the mounting bracket 20 as a whole.

[0057] In the electrical component mounting structure of the present embodiment, the second controller 12 is attached to the sub-holder 27 and the sub-holder 27 is sandwiched between the first controller 11 and the second controller 12.

[0058] By attaching the second controller 12 to the sub-bracket 27 and sandwiching the sub-bracket 27 between the first controller 11 and the second controller 12 in this way, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the sub-bracket 27 of the mounting bracket 20 and improve the rigidity of the mounting bracket 20 as a whole.

[0059] In the electrical component mounting structure of the present embodiment, the sub-holder 27 is connected at a position between the front leg portion 24, the upper leg portion 25 and the lower leg portion 26 of the body portion 22.

[0060] Since the sub-support 27 is connected to the body portion 22, which is an area subject to stress concentration between the front leg portion 24, the upper leg portion 25 and the lower leg portion 26, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the body portion 22 of the mounting bracket 20.

[0061] In the electrical component mounting structure of the present embodiment, the side panel 5 includes the flange portion 5D formed at the edge 5C and the corner portion 5E which is bent so as to rise from the flange portion 5D and the upper leg portion 25 is attached in the vicinity of the corner portion 5E.

[0062] By attaching the upper leg portion 25 to the angle portion 5E which rises from the flange portion 5D of the side panel 5, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the mounting bracket 20.

[0063] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed, it is obvious that those skilled in the art may add modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. All such modifications and equivalents are intended to be included in the following claims.
