Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a structure for attaching a mounting member to a base. [Background technology]
[0002] Structures for mounting a tray inside the cab of a truck or the like include those shown in Figures 4 to 8. In Figures 4 and 5, a tray 30 is mounted to an interior member 1 at the front upper part inside the cab. A protrusion 33 that protrudes downward is formed on the underside of the tray 30 (see Figure 6), and the protrusion 33 is inserted into a through hole 20 formed in the interior member 1 for mounting.
[0003] 7, the protrusion 33 has a protrusion base 35 and a clip 40 attached to the protrusion base 35. The clip 40 engages with the through hole 20 when the protrusion 33 is inserted into the through hole 20, and fixes the tray 30 to the interior member 1.
[0004] 8, the protrusion base 35 has a generally H-shaped cross section and includes a clip base 36 to which the clip 40 is attached, and flanges 37, 37 that reinforce the clip base 36. The clip 40 is attached to the protrusion base 35 so as to sandwich the clip base 36.
[0005] When attaching the tray 30 to the interior member 1, all of the multiple protrusions 33 are simultaneously inserted into the corresponding through holes 20, and the clips 40 are engaged with the through holes 20 to attach the tray 30. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] In the above structure, in order to attach the tray 30 to the interior member 1, all of the protrusions 33 must be positioned above the corresponding through holes 20, and all of the protrusions 33 must be simultaneously inserted into the corresponding through holes 20. If only some of the protrusions 33 are inserted into the through holes 20 first, the tray 30 may tilt or deform, which may prevent the other protrusions 33 from being inserted smoothly. In particular, when attaching the tray 30 to a high or narrow place in the cab, it is difficult to visually see all of the protrusions 33, making attachment of the tray 30 more difficult.
[0007] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a mounting structure that enables smooth mounting of a mounting member to a base even when all protrusions are not visible. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] The mounting structure disclosed herein is an mounting structure in which a mounting member having a plurality of protrusions protruding in the same direction is mounted to a base having a plurality of through holes into which the plurality of protrusions are respectively inserted, by inserting the plurality of protrusions into the plurality of through holes, some of the plurality of protrusions being a plurality of extended protrusions having long lengths, and the lengths of the plurality of protrusions and extended protrusions are set so that when the mounting member is faced directly against the base and the tip of the extended protrusion is positioned at the insertion side end of the corresponding through hole, other of the plurality of protrusions are spaced apart from the insertion side end of the corresponding through hole. Effect of the Invention
[0009] When attaching the mounting member to the base, even if the worker cannot see all of the protrusions, by inserting the extended protrusions into the corresponding through holes, the alignment of all of the protrusions is completed, and the other short protrusions can be smoothly inserted. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 4] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the tray being attached to the interior member. [Diagram 5] FIG. 13 is a view showing an interior member to which a tray is attached. [Figure 6] FIG. 1 illustrates the prior art. [Figure 7] FIG. 1 illustrates the prior art. [Figure 8] FIG. 1 illustrates the prior art. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0011] Hereinafter, the mounting structure according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. Note that the shapes, components, the arrangement and connection of the components, steps (processes), and the order of steps shown in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Also, each figure is a schematic diagram and is not necessarily an exact illustration. Furthermore, in each figure, substantially the same components are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations may be omitted or simplified.
[0012] 1 shows a tray 2 as an example of a mounting member of the present disclosure, viewed from diagonally below. The tray body 3 is a substantially flat member. A plurality of protrusions 4 (five in the illustrated example) are formed on the bottom surface of the tray body 3. The protrusions 4 are similar to the protrusions 33 of the tray 30 shown as the prior art. In addition, a plurality of extended protrusions 14 (two in the illustrated example) are formed on the bottom surface of the tray body 3.
[0013] 2 shows an example of an extension protrusion 14 of the present disclosure. The extension protrusion 14 has a protrusion base 15 and a clip 10 attached to the protrusion base 15. The clip 10 has a similar structure to a clip 40 of the prior art.
[0014] 3 shows an example of the protrusion base 15. The protrusion base 15 has a generally H-shaped cross section, including a clip base 16 to which the clip 10 is attached, and flange portions 17, 17 that reinforce the clip base 16. Furthermore, the lower ends of the flange portions 17, 17 have guide portions 18, 18 that protrude downward.
[0015] The length of protrusion of the guide parts 18, 18 from the flange parts 17, 17 is set so that when the tray 2 is opposed to the interior member 1 and moved approximately parallel towards the interior member 1, the guide parts 18, 18 are inserted into the through holes 20 first, and then all the protrusions 4 are simultaneously inserted into the through holes 20. Here, facing the tray 2 to the interior member 1 means that the tray 2 is in a position such that the protrusions 4 and the extended protrusions 14 are inserted into the through holes 20 by moving the tray 2 approximately parallel in the direction in which the protrusions 4 and the extended protrusions 14 protrude, and the final attachment state to the interior member 1 is obtained.
[0016] Next, the operation of attaching the tray 2 to the interior member 1 will be described. The tray 2 is moved to a position where the protrusion 4 and the extended protrusion 14 are close to the corresponding through holes 20, and the tray 2 is made to face the interior member 1. Next, the tray 2 is moved approximately parallel toward the interior member 1 so that the guide parts 18 of the extended protrusion 14 are inserted into the corresponding through holes 20. Here, since a plurality of extended protrusions are provided, when the guide parts 18 of the plurality of extended protrusions 14 are inserted into the corresponding through holes 20, the other protrusions 4 are also positioned with respect to the corresponding through holes 20. Furthermore, the tray 2 is moved toward the interior member 1, and the other protrusions 4 are also inserted into the respective through holes 20, and the clips 10 of all the protrusions 4 and the extended protrusions 14 are engaged with the through holes 20, completing the attachment.
[0017] When attaching the tray 2 to the interior member 1 provided above the driver's seat, it is difficult for a worker inside the vehicle to see all of the protrusions 4 and through holes 20. The tray 2 is provided with an extended protrusion 14 at a location that corresponds to the inside of the vehicle. This extended protrusion 14 is located in front of the worker performing the attachment and can be easily seen during the attachment work, making the attachment work easy.
[0018] In the above embodiment, the interior member 1 is given as an example of the base, and the tray 2 is given as an example of the mounting member, but the base and mounting member are not limited to these. The present invention can be applied to any object that has a structure in which a protrusion on the mounting member is inserted into a through hole in the base.
[0019] In the above embodiment, the structure of the protrusion and the extended protrusion is described as a structure in which a clip is attached to the protrusion base, but the structure of the protrusion and the extended protrusion is not limited to this. Other structures are also acceptable as long as there are at least two extended protrusions that are longer than the protrusion. [Industrial Applicability]
[0020] The present invention can be suitably applied to a structure for attaching a mounting member to a base body. [Explanation of symbols]
