[0014] (3) In the support device for in-vehicle equipment of (2), the guided object includes a plate-like body, a sliding portion that slides on the first guide surface of the first guide rail and the second guide surface of the second guide rail, and a connecting portion that connects the plate-like body and the sliding portion, the first guide rail has a first slit adjacent to the first guide surface, the second guide rail has a second slit adjacent to the second guide surface and communicating with the first slit, when the sliding portion slides on the first guide surface, the connecting portion passes through the first slit in the vertical direction to support the plate-like body, and when the sliding portion slides on the second guide surface, the connecting portion passes through the second slit in the vertical direction to support the plate-like body, thereby allowing the guided object to be transported between the first slit and the second slit.

[0015] (4) In the support device for in-vehicle equipment of (3), the second guide rail is disposed outside the end of the first guide rail in the first direction, and the second guide rail has a guide path that guides the guided object from the outside to the first guide rail, and the guide path includes a third slit that connects to the second slit from the outside, thereby guiding the guided object from the outside to the first guide rail.

[0016] (5) The support device for an in-vehicle device according to any one of (1) to (4) above, further comprising at least two of the first guide rails that are parallel to each other, thereby guiding the guided object in a stable position.

[0017] (6) The support device for an in-vehicle device according to any one of (1) to (5), further comprising at least two of the second guide rails that are parallel to each other, thereby guiding the guided object in a stable position.

[0018] (7) In the support device for in-vehicle equipment according to any one of (1) to (6), the first direction is a width direction of the vehicle, the second direction is a front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the first guide rail is located within a range of a door opening in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, thereby facilitating attachment and detachment of the guided object through the door opening.

[0019] (8) In the support device for in-vehicle equipment of (7), the second guide rail includes a door opening area inner portion located within the range of the door opening in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and a door opening area outer portion located outside the range of the door opening in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, thereby expanding the range for attaching the guided object to the area outside the door opening area.

[0020] (9) In the support device for an in-vehicle device according to any one of (1) to (8), the second guide rail has a plurality of fixing portions for fixing the guided object, thereby making it possible to select a fixing position for the guided object.

[0021] (10) A guided object guided by a first guide rail extending in a first direction and a second guide rail extending in a second direction different from the first guide rail includes a plate-like body, a sliding portion that slides on a first guide surface of the first guide rail and a second guide surface of the second guide rail, and a connecting portion that connects the plate-like body and the sliding portion, wherein the connecting portion passes vertically outside the edge of the first guide surface to support the plate-like body when the sliding portion slides on the first guide surface, and passes vertically outside the edge of the second guide surface to support the plate-like body when the sliding portion slides on the second guide surface, thereby allowing the guided object to be transported between the first guide rail and the second guide rail.

This reduces the amount of change in the orientation of the guided body when it is transported between the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22.

[0023] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the in-vehicle device support device for supporting a guided object including an in-vehicle device of the present disclosure, and the guided object, will be described with reference to the following drawings. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to these examples, but is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.

[0024] The following describes a support device for vehicle-mounted equipment and a guided object according to the present disclosure.

[0025] <Explanation of the entire vehicle to which the support device for in-vehicle equipment is attached> Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an example of a vehicle 10 to which a support device 20 for an in-vehicle device 50 (see Fig. 7) is attached. Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing the position on the vehicle 10 where the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 is attached, as seen from the side of the vehicle 10. Fig. 2 shows an X direction, a Y direction, and a Z direction that are orthogonal to one another. In this disclosure, the X direction is defined as the width direction of the vehicle 10, the Y direction is defined as the fore-aft direction of the vehicle 10, and the Z direction is defined as the vertical direction.

[0026] The vehicle 10 includes a body 12. The body 12 is a part that defines the exterior of the vehicle 10. The body 12 may be a monocoque body or a body mounted on a ladder frame. Here, the body 12 includes side panels surrounding the passenger compartment, a roof panel 13, and further, an access door panel 14 through which passengers get in and out, a rear door panel for loading and unloading luggage, and the like. When the access door panel 14 is opened, a door opening 17 in the body 12 is opened. The roof panel 13 is a plate-shaped portion of the body 12 that covers the upper part of the passenger compartment. In other words, the roof panel 13 forms the roof portion 11 of the vehicle 10. The roof panel 13 and the access door panel 14 may be partially or entirely curved to define the exterior shape of the body 12. The roof panel 13 and the access door panel 14 may be formed of metal, resin, or a combination of metal and resin. The roof panel 13 is reinforced by a plurality of reinforcements 15 arranged at intervals in the vehicle front-rear direction (Y direction). The reinforcements 15 extend in the vehicle width direction (X direction).

[0027] The support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 is disposed in an arrangement space between the body 12, which forms the exterior of the vehicle 10, and an interior member 16 facing the interior of the vehicle cabin. The support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 of this embodiment supports a guided body 40 (see FIGS. 6 and 7 ) including the in-vehicle device 50. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 is fixed to the reinforcement 15. As shown in FIG. 2 , a fixing portion 22e formed on the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 is attached to the reinforcement 15 with adhesive tape 60, thereby fixing the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 to the reinforcement 15. Note that the fixing of the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 to the reinforcement 15 is not limited to attachment with the adhesive tape 60, and various fixing structures such as fixing with screws or fixing with a cable tie may also be employed. For example, if the support device 20 is fixed to the reinforcement 15 using adhesive tape 60 or a binding band, the support device 20 can be fixed to the reinforcement 15 without having to form a shape for fixing the support device 20 to the reinforcement 15 in advance.

[0028] The interior member 16 is a plate-like member made of resin or the like. The interior member 16 is the portion that is exposed inside the vehicle cabin. The interior member 16 may be curved partially or entirely. The interior member 16 in the roof portion 11 is attached vertically below the roof panel 13. The interior member 16 in the roof portion 11 is the portion that forms the ceiling shape inside the vehicle cabin. The interior member 16 in the roof portion 11 is sometimes called a roof liner 16. In the aftermarket on-vehicle device 50 supported by the support device 20 for the on-vehicle device 50, portions other than the device that are desired to be exposed inside the vehicle cabin are hidden from the inside of the vehicle cabin by the interior member 16.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the door opening area inner portion R1 is located within the range of the door opening 17 in the front-rear direction (Y direction) of the vehicle 10. The door opening area outer portion R2 is located outside the range of the door opening 17 in the front-rear direction (Y direction) of the vehicle 10. The door opening 17 is, for example, an opening that is opened and closed by a sliding door. The outer space of the door opening 17 that is opened and closed by a sliding door opens wider without being obstructed by the door compared to the outer space of an opening that opens and closes around a hinge. Therefore, the door opening 17 is suitable as an opening for bringing in-vehicle equipment 50 into the vehicle cabin. The second guide rail 22 (described in detail later) of the support device 20 for the in-vehicle equipment 50 is disposed to include the door opening area inner portion R1 and the door opening area outer portion R2. In this embodiment, the second guide rail 22 includes the entire door opening area inner portion R1, the door opening area outer portion R2 adjacent to the front of the door opening area inner portion R1, and the door opening area outer portion R2 adjacent to the rear of the door opening area inner portion R1. In this way, since the second guide rail 22 includes the portion R1 inside the door opening area and the portion R2 outside the door opening area, the support area for the in-vehicle device 50 can be expanded not only to the portion R1 inside the door opening area but also to the portion R2 outside the door opening area. In other words, this configuration expands the range in which the guided object 40 can be attached.

[0030] In the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50, the opening 22h serving as the entrance of the slide portion 42 of the guided body 40, which will be described in detail later, is formed, for example, in the portion R1 within the door opening region. With this configuration, the guided body 40 can be easily attached (or detached) through the door opening 17 (see FIG. 9). In this embodiment, as will be described later, the first guide rail 21 is sandwiched between two second guide rails 22 in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the guided body 40 can also be attached from a door opening (not shown) on the opposite side of the door opening 17 in FIG. 9. In other words, the guided body 40 can be attached from both opposing door openings, which improves the ease of attachment of the guided body 40. The opening 22h may be formed in only one of the two second guide rails 22.

[0031] <Configuration of the support device for in-vehicle equipment> Fig. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 of the present disclosure from above. Fig. 4 is a schematic perspective view showing the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 of the present disclosure from below. Fig. 5 is a schematic perspective view showing an enlarged view of a connection portion between the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22. Note that in Figs. 3 and 4, the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 is illustrated together with the reinforcement 15.

[0032] The support device 20 of the in-vehicle device 50 includes a first guide rail 21 and a second guide rail 22. The support device 20 includes three first guide rails 21 that are parallel to one another. The support device 20 also includes two second guide rails 22 that are parallel to one another. The number of first guide rails 21 and second guide rails 22 is not limited to the above, but having at least two rails will ensure that the guided object 40 is guided in a stable position.

[0033] The first guide rail 21 guides the guided object 40 in a first direction. In this embodiment, the first direction is the width direction (X direction) of the vehicle 10. The first guide rail 21 is located within the range of the door opening 17 in the front-to-rear direction (Y direction) of the vehicle 10 (see FIG. 2). This makes it easy to attach and detach the guided object 40 to and from the door opening 17.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, three first guide rails 21 are provided. By providing three first guide rails 21, the first guide rail 21 along which the slide portion 42 of the guided object 40 is guided can be selected from the three. For example, the first guide rail 21 that is close to the desired final position of the guided object 40 can be selected. Furthermore, by using the first guide rail 21 at the front and the first guide rail 21 at the rear of the vehicle 10, it is possible to accommodate guided objects 40 that are large in size. Note that, for these reasons, more than three first guide rails 21 may be provided, thereby increasing the selectability of the first guide rails 21.

[0035] The first guide rail 21 has a first guide surface 21a and a first slit 21b. The first guide surface 21a is an upwardly facing surface that is long along the first direction. A portion of the guided body 40 is slidable on the first guide surface 21a. The first slit 21b is adjacent to the first guide surface 21a. In this embodiment, the first guide rail 21 has a pair of first guide surfaces 21a, and the first slit 21b is formed between the pair of first guide surfaces 21a along the guiding direction (first direction) of the first guide surfaces 21a.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first guide rail 21 is a rectangular tubular member that is open at the top. The first direction of the first guide rail 21 is the longitudinal direction of the rectangular tubular member. The inner bottom surface of the first guide rail 21 is the first guide surface 21a. Furthermore, a first slit 21b is formed in the inner bottom surface over the entire area in the first direction (longitudinal direction). This first slit 21b penetrates from the inner bottom surface to the outside. In other words, the rectangular tubular member is divided into two by the first slit 21b. In this embodiment, the first direction is the width direction (X direction) of the vehicle 10.

[0037] The guided body 40 is arranged in the first slit 21b so that a portion of the guided body 40 passes through in the vertical direction. A portion of the guided body 40 is arranged so that it passes in the vertical direction outside the edge of the first guide surface 21a. The portion of the guided body 40 that passes in the vertical direction through the first slit 21b (the portion of the guided body 40 that passes in the vertical direction outside the edge of the first guide surface 21a) is the connection portion 43. The first slit 21b is configured to restrict the position of the pair of first slide portions 42a of the slide portion 42 (portions guided by the pair of first guide surfaces 21a) so that they do not fall into the first slit 21b.

[0038] 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the dimensional relationship between the slide portion 42 and the first guide rail 21. As shown in FIG. 6, the Y-direction dimension LB of the first slit 21b is set to be larger than the Y-direction dimension LY1 of the connection portion 43. Specifically, the Y-direction dimension LY1 of the first slit 21b and the connection portion 43 is set to be such that the connection portion 43 abuts against the end of the first slit 21b (the end surface of the first guide surface 21a) before one of the first slide portions 42a drops into the first slit 21b. By setting these dimensions, the position of the first slide portion 42a on the first guide surface 21a is maintained.

[0039] Furthermore, the structure for restricting the position of the first slide portion 42a may employ the relationship between the connecting portion 43 and the first slit 21b described above. For example, the position of the first slide portion 42a is restricted by the first guide side surface 21d. The first guide side surface 21d is the inner surface of the side wall of the first guide rail 21. The inner surface of the side wall of the first guide rail 21 forms the pair of first guide side surfaces 21d. The first guide side surfaces 21d extend upward in the vertical direction (Z direction) from the width direction ends of the first guide surface 21a. As shown in FIG. 6, the distance LA between the pair of first guide side surfaces 21d is set to be greater than the distance LX1 between both ends of the pair of first slide portions 42a. Specifically, the distance LA between the pair of first guide side surfaces 21d and the distance LX1 between both ends of the first slide portion 42a are set to dimensions such that one first slide portion 42a abuts against the first guide side surface 21d before the other first slide portion 42a falls into the first slit 21b. By setting these dimensions, the position of the first slide portion 42a on the first guide surface 21a is maintained.

[0040] Next, the second guide rail 22 will be described. The second guide rail 22 guides the guided object 40 in a second direction different from the first direction. In this embodiment, the second direction is the front-to-rear direction (Y direction) of the vehicle 10. The second guide rail 22 includes the entire area of ​​the door opening area portion R1, the door opening area outside portion R2 adjacent to the front of the door opening area portion R1, and the door opening area outside portion R2 adjacent to the rear of the door opening area portion R1 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). As such, since the second guide rail 22 includes the door opening area portion R1 and the door opening area outside portion R2, the guided object 40 is guided not only in the door opening area portion R1 but also in the door opening area outside portion R2. In other words, this configuration expands the range in which the guided object 40 can be attached.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, two second guide rails 22 are provided. The guided body 40 is supported and guided by these two second guide rails 22. Therefore, the guided body 40 is guided in a more stable position than in the case of a single first guide rail 21. Note that, like the first guide rails 21, three or more second guide rails 22 may be provided.

[0042] The second guide rail 22 has a second guide surface 22a and a second slit 22b. The second guide surface 22a is an upwardly facing surface that is long along the second direction. A portion of the guided body 40 is slidable on the second guide surface 22a. The second slit 22b is adjacent to the second guide surface 22a. In this embodiment, the second guide rail 22 has a pair of second guide surfaces 22a, and the second slit 22b is formed between the pair of second guide surfaces 22a along the guiding direction (second direction) of the second guide surfaces 22a.

[0043] The second guide rail 22 is a rectangular tubular member with a partial opening at the top. The second direction of the second guide rail 22 is the longitudinal direction of the rectangular tubular member. The inner bottom surface of the second guide rail 22 serves as the second guide surface 22a of the guided body 40. A second slit 22b is formed in the inner bottom surface over the entire area in the second direction (longitudinal direction). This second slit 22b penetrates from the inner bottom surface to the outside. In other words, the second slit 22b divides the inner bottom surface (second guide surface 22a) into two parts. Note that multiple plate-like members are joined to a portion of the upper opening of the second guide rail 22 in this embodiment. These multiple plate-like members constitute the fixing portion 22e shown in FIG. 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second direction is the front-rear direction (Y direction) of the vehicle 10. That is, the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22 are arranged in directions perpendicular to each other. Note that the configuration is not limited to the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22 being arranged in directions perpendicular to each other. It is sufficient to employ the second guide rail 22 that guides the guided object 40 in a second direction different from the guiding direction (first direction) of the first guide rail 21.

[0045] The guided body 40 is arranged in the second slit 22b so that a portion of the guided body 40 passes through in the vertical direction. A portion of the guided body 40 is arranged so that it passes in the vertical direction outside the edge of the second guide surface 22a. The portion of the guided body 40 that passes in the vertical direction through the second slit 22b (the portion of the guided body 40 that passes in the vertical direction outside the edge of the second guide surface 22a) is the connection portion 43. The second slit 22b is structured to restrict the position of the pair of second slide portions 42b of the slide portion 42 (portions guided by the pair of second guide surfaces 22a) so that they do not fall into the second slit 22b.

[0046] 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the dimensional relationship between the slide portion 42 and the second guide rail 22. As shown in FIG. 7, the dimension LD in the X direction of the second slit 22b is set larger than the dimension LY2 in the X direction of the connecting portion 43. Specifically, the dimension LY2 in the X direction of the second slit 22b and the connecting portion 43 is set to a dimension such that the connecting portion 43 abuts against the end of the second slit 22b (the edge of the second guide surface 22a) before one of the second slide portions 42b drops into the second slit 22b. By setting these dimensions, the position of the second slide portion 42b on the second guide surface 22a is maintained.

[0047] Furthermore, the relationship between the connecting portion 43 and the second slit 22b described above may be employed as a structure for restricting the position of the second slide portion 42b. For example, the position of the second slide portion 42b is restricted by the second guide side surfaces 22j. The second guide side surfaces 22j are the inner surfaces of the side walls of the second guide rail 22. The inner surfaces of the side walls of the second guide rail 22 form the pair of second guide side surfaces 22j. The second guide side surfaces 22j extend upward in the vertical direction (Z direction) from the widthwise ends of the second guide surface 22a, which is the bottom surface. As shown in FIG. 7, the distance LC between the pair of second guide side surfaces 22j is set to be greater than the distance LX2 between both ends of the pair of second slide portions 42b. Specifically, the distance LC between the pair of second guide side surfaces 22j and the distance LX2 between both ends of the second slide portion 42b are set to dimensions such that one second slide portion 42b abuts against the second guide side surface 22j before the other second slide portion 42b falls into the second slit 22b. By setting these dimensions, the position of the second slide portion 42b on the second guide surface 22a is maintained.

[0048] Next, the joining of the first guide rails 21 and the second guide rails 22 will be described. The side walls of the second guide rails 22 are joined to the longitudinal end faces of the three first guide rails 21. The three first guide rails 21 are sandwiched between two second guide rails 22.

[0049] More specifically, the second guide rails 22 are disposed on both outer sides of the end of the first guide rail 21 in the first direction (X direction). As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the first guide rail 21 has an extension portion 21c extending from a longitudinal end of a first guide side surface 21d (described later) along the longitudinal direction of the second guide rail 22. The extension portion 21c is welded to a second guide side surface 22j of the second guide rail 22. This joins the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22. Note that the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22 may be joined by various joining means other than the above-described welding, such as by screws or a sealing member. In this way, by joining the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22, the first guide rail 21, which is divided into two by the first slit 21b, maintains its rectangular tubular shape. That is, the first guide rail 21 is arranged to have a pair of first guide surfaces 21a and a first slit 21b sandwiched between the pair of first guide surfaces 21a.

[0050] The second guide rail 22 further has a communication passage 22c that connects the first slit 21b and the second slit 22b. This communication passage 22c is a slit that connects the first slit 21b and the second slit 22b. The communication passage 22c extends from the second slit 22b in the bottom plate of the second guide rail 22 toward the first guide rail 21. An opening on one side of the communication passage 22c faces an opening on one side of the first slit 21b. An opening on the other side of the communication passage 22c is connected to the second slit 22b so as to merge midway in the longitudinal direction. This allows the guided object 40 (connection portion 43) to move back and forth between the first slit 21b and the second slit 22b. The communication passage 22c is formed on an extension of the first slit 21b.

[0051] The second guide rail 22 has a guide path 22f that guides the guided object 40 from the outside to the first guide rail 21. Here, the outside refers to the outside of the support device 20. The guide path 22f communicates with the opening 22h. The guided object 40 inserted through the opening 22h is guided along the guide path 22f and moves to the first guide rail 21. The guide path 22f includes a third slit 22g that connects to the second slit 22b from the outside. In this embodiment, the guide path 22f is composed of a communication path 22c and the third slit 22g. The communication path 22c and the third slit 22g are formed on an extension of the first slit 21b. By having such a guide path 22f, the guided object 40 is guided from the outside to the first guide rail 21. Furthermore, by having the third slit 22g, the guided object 40 is also guided from the outside to the second guide rail 22.

[0052] Furthermore, the second guide side surface 22j disposed on the outer side of the pair of second guide side surfaces 22j has an opening 22h that communicates with the third slit 22g formed on the outer side surface of the second guide rail 22. A part of the guided body 40 (slide portion 42) is introduced through this opening 22h (see FIG. 10). The second guide side surface 22j of the pair of second guide side surfaces 22j that is closer to the first guide rail 21 has an opening 22k formed therein so that the guided body 40 can move along the first guide rail 21. This opening 22k is formed, for example, at a position opposite to the opening 22h. The opening 22h communicates with the third slit 22g, and the opening 22k communicates with the communicating passage 22c. The opening 22h, the third slit 22g, the communicating passage 22c, the opening 22k, and the first slit 21b are formed, for example, on a straight line that crosses the second slit 22b. This allows guided object 40, which is guided from the outside to support device 20 through opening 22h, to be guided in a straight line and move smoothly to first guide rail 21. Note that opening 22h, third slit 22g, communicating path 22c, opening 22k, and first slit 21b are not limited to being formed in a straight line. It is sufficient that opening 22h, third slit 22g, communicating path 22c, opening 22k, and first slit 21b are mutually connected.

[0053] 1, 3, and 4, of the two second guide rails 22, the one on the right side when facing the front of the vehicle 10 is second guide rail 22A, and the one on the left side is second guide rail 22B. The two second guide rails 22 are arranged so that the opening 22h of second guide rail 22A faces the door opening 17, and the opening 22h of second guide rail 22B faces the door opening (not shown) opposite the door opening 17.

[0054] Furthermore, when opening 22h, third slit 22g, communicating passage 22c, opening 22k, and first slit 21b are formed in a straight line crossing second slit 22b as described above, third slit 22g and second slit 22b are communicated with each other. Communicating passage 22c and second slit 22b are also communicated with each other. Therefore, guided body 40 can be guided by first guide rail 21 from the outside, or by second guide rail 22 from the outside. Guided body 40 can also be guided from first guide rail 21 to second guide rail 22.

[0055] Furthermore, fixing portions 22i for fixing the guided body 40 are formed on the second guide surface 22a of the second guide rail 22 (see FIG. 13). The fixing portions 22i are through holes for screws, and are fixed together with the guided body 40 by screws. In this embodiment, a plurality of fixing portions 22i are formed. The plurality of fixing portions 22i are formed at equal intervals along the guiding direction (Y direction) of the second guide rail 22. This makes it possible to select the fixing position of the guided body 40 on the second guide rail 22. In other words, the fixing portion 22i to which the guided body 40 is fixed can be selected from the plurality of fixing portions 22i on the second guide rail 22. This improves the degree of freedom in the mounting position of the guided body 40. In this embodiment, one fixing portion 22i is, for example, a through hole for a screw. One through hole is formed for one fixing portion 22i. The fixing portion 22i is not limited to being fixed by screws, but may be fixed by various fixing structures such as adhesion with adhesive tape or fixation with a cable tie.

[0056] Next, the positional relationship between the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22 will be described. The first guide rail 21 is connected to the second guide rail 22 so that the guided object 40 can slide from the first guide rail 21 to the second guide rail 22. In this embodiment, the second guide rail 22 is connected to the first guide rail 21 so that the second guide surface 22a is located on an extension of the first guide surface 21a. Here, if the second guide surface 22a of the second guide rail 22 is not located on an extension of the first guide surface 21a with respect to the first guide rail 21, that is, if a step is created between the first guide surface 21a and the second guide surface 22a, the guided object 40 will get caught on this step and will not move smoothly between the first guide surface 21a and the second guide surface 22a. In this embodiment, the second guide rail 22 is connected to the first guide rail 21 so that the second guide surface 22a is positioned on an extension of the first guide surface 21a, thereby allowing the guided object 40 to move smoothly between the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22.

[0057] In particular, since there is no step between the first guide rail 21 and the left and right second guide rails 22, the guided body 40 is unlikely to get caught at the boundaries between the first guide rail 21 and the left and right second guide rails 22 even when the guided body 40 is slid from either the left or right.

[0058] <Configuration of guided body 40> Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing guided body 40 from above. Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing guided body 40 from below. Fig. 10 is an enlarged perspective view showing slide portion 42 of guided body 40. Note that Fig. 8 also shows screws and nuts for fixing in-vehicle device 50 to guided body 40, and Fig. 9 also shows in-vehicle device 50 fixed to guided body 40.

[0059] The guided body 40 has a plate-like body 41, a sliding portion 42, and a connecting portion 43 that connects the plate-like body 41 and the sliding portion 42. The plate-like body 41 is formed in a rectangular shape. A plurality of screw holes 41a are formed in the plane of the plate-like body 41, penetrating in the thickness direction. The screw holes 41a are formed at equal intervals in the vertical direction (X direction) and horizontal direction (Y direction) of the plane of the plate-like body 41. The screw holes 41a and the fixing portion of the in-vehicle device 50 (more specifically, the fixing plate 51 to which the in-vehicle device 50 is attached in this embodiment) are fixed with screws 71. By forming a plurality of screw holes 41a in this way, the arrangement of the in-vehicle device 50 can be selected. Furthermore, it is possible to accommodate in-vehicle devices 50 of various sizes.

[0060] The slide portions 42 are disposed at the four corners of the rectangular plate-like body 41. The slide portions 42 slide on the first guide surfaces 21a of the first guide rail 21 and the second guide surfaces 22a of the second guide rail 22. In this embodiment, the slide portion 42 has a pair of first slide portions 42a that slide on the pair of first guide surfaces 21a and a pair of second slide portions 42b that slide on the pair of second guide surfaces 22a. The pair of first slide portions 42a extend on both sides of the connection portion 43. The pair of first slide portions 42a slide on the pair of first guide surfaces 21a that face each other with the first slit 21b between them. The pair of second slide portions 42b extend on both sides of the connection portion 43. The pair of second slide portions 42b slide on the pair of second guide surfaces 22a that face each other with the second slit 22b between them. In this embodiment, the first slide portion 42a and the second slide portion 42b extend in different directions in a plan view (see FIG. 13).

[0061] More specifically, the pair of first slide portions 42a and the pair of second slide portions 42b are orthogonal in a plan view. The first slide portions 42a extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail 21. The second slide portions 42b extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the second guide rail 22. The first slide portions 42a are used when the guided object 40 is guided by the first guide rail 21, and the second slide portions 42b are used when the guided object 40 is guided by the second guide rail 22. With this configuration, when the guided object 40 is transported between the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22 (the second guide rail 22 has a guiding direction (longitudinal direction) perpendicular to the guiding direction (longitudinal direction) of the first guide rail 21), the guided object 40 can be moved smoothly without changing its orientation.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first slide portion 42a and the second slide portion 42b extend in orthogonal directions, but this is not limited to orthogonal directions. Even in a configuration in which the first slide portion 42a and the second slide portion 42b extend in directions that are not orthogonal, the amount of change in the orientation of the guided object 40 when the guided object 40 moves between the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22 is reduced compared to a configuration in which the first slide portion 42a and the second slide portion 42b extend in the same direction.

[0063] Furthermore, the slide portion 42 is formed with a screw fixing portion 42c for fixing to the second guide rail 22. The fixing portion 42c is formed in a shape corresponding to the fixing portion 22i described above. Specifically, the fixing portion 42c is, for example, a through hole for a screw. This through hole for a screw is designed to be able to receive the same screw as that passing through the through hole of the fixing portion 22i. This allows the through hole of the fixing portion 22i and the through hole of the fixing portion 42c to be fixed by the screw. This fixes the guided body 40 to the second guide rail 22.

[0064] As described above, the second guide rail 22 has a plurality of fixing portions 22i formed thereon, and the fixing portion 22i to which the fixing portion 42c is fixed can be selected from among the plurality of fixing portions 22i. The selected fixing portion 22i and the fixing portion 42c are fastened together with a screw, so that the guided object 40 is fixed at a position on the second guide rail 22 that is preferred by the user. In other words, the formation of a plurality of fixing portions 22i on the second guide rail 22 increases the degree of freedom in selecting the arrangement of the guided object 40 on the second guide rail 22.

[0065] The connecting portion 43 is formed integrally with, for example, the sliding portion 42. The connecting portion 43 and the sliding portion 42 are, for example, part of a bracket member 44. The bracket member 44 is formed integrally, for example, by bending a single piece of metal sheet that is punched into a shape corresponding to each portion (sliding portion 42, connecting portion 43, and fixing portion 45). The bracket member 44 has a fixing portion 45 that is fixed to the plate-like body 41 on the opposite side (lower side) of the connecting portion 43 of the sliding portion 42. The fixing portion 45 is fixed to the plate-like body 41 by, for example, screwing. The width of the connecting portion 43 in the Y direction is smaller than the width of the first slits 21b. Therefore, the connecting portion 43 can be arranged between the first slits 21b. The connection portion 43 passes vertically through the first slit 21b adjacent to the first guide surface 21a to support the plate-like body 41 when the first slide portion 42a of the slide portion 42 slides on the first guide surface 21a (the connection portion passes vertically outside the edge of the first guide surface 21a to support the plate-like body 41 when the first slide portion 42a slides on the first guide surface 21a) (see Figure 11).

[0066] Furthermore, the width of the connecting portion 43 in the X direction is smaller than the width of the second slits 22b. Therefore, the connecting portion 43 can be disposed between the second slits 22b. When the second slide portion 42b of the slide portion 42 slides on the second guide surface 22a, the connecting portion 43 passes in the vertical direction through the second slit 22b that is adjacent to the second guide surface 22a and communicates with the first slit 21b, and supports the plate-like body 41 (when the second slide portion 42b slides on the second guide surface 22a, the connecting portion 43 passes in the vertical direction outside the edge of the second guide surface 22a and supports the plate-like body 41) (see FIG. 12).

[0067] <Attachment of guided body 40 to support device 20 for in-vehicle equipment 50> Next, a process for attaching the guided body 40 to the support device 20 of the in-vehicle device 50 will be described. Fig. 11 is a schematic perspective view showing how the guided body 40 is attached to the support device 20 of the in-vehicle device 50, which is fixed to the vehicle 10. Fig. 12 is an enlarged perspective view of the sliding portion 42 of the guided body 40 in Fig. 11. Fig. 13 is an explanatory view showing, from below, how the sliding portion 42 is transferred by the support device 20 of the in-vehicle device 50.

[0068] When the guided object 40 is attached to the support device 20 of the in-vehicle device 50, the door panel 14 for getting in and out is first opened, as shown in FIG. 11 . Then, the door opening 17 is opened. The guided object 40 is inserted through the door opening 17 in the direction of arrow A. In this embodiment, the opening 22h is formed in the portion R1 inside the door opening area of ​​the support device 20 of the in-vehicle device 50. Therefore, the bracket member 44 of the guided object 40 can be attached to the opening 22h more easily than when the opening 22h is formed in the portion R2 outside the door opening area. As shown in FIG. 12 , the bracket member 44 is inserted into the second guide rail 22 (22A (see FIGS. 3 and 4 )) of the support device 20 of the in-vehicle device 50 through the opening 22h. More specifically, of the four bracket members 44 fixed to the rectangular plate-like body 41, the two bracket members 44 that are parallel to each other at the front in the X direction are inserted in the direction of arrow A through two adjacent openings 22h lined up in the side wall of the second guide rail 22. In this embodiment, the openings 22h are formed on extensions of the three first guide rails 21, respectively. The openings 22h corresponding to two adjacent first guide rails 21 out of the three first guide rails 21 are selected, and the two bracket members 44 are inserted into them.

[0069] After the bracket member 44 at the front in the insertion direction is introduced through the opening 22h of the second guide rail 22, it passes through the opening 22h, the third slit 22g, the communicating passage 22c, and the opening 22k, which are formed in a straight line. After passing through the opening 22k, the bracket member 44 is transferred directly to the first guide rail 21, as shown in B of FIG. 13. Then, the bracket member 44 transferred to the first guide rail 21 is guided by the first guide rail 21. More specifically, the first slide portion 42a slides on the first guide surface 21a, so that the bracket member 44 is guided to the first guide rail 21.

[0070] Then, of the four bracket members 44, the two bracket members 44 arranged side by side at the rear in the insertion direction are inserted into the support device 20 of the in-vehicle device 50 through the same opening 22h through which the bracket members 44 arranged side by side at the front in the insertion direction were inserted. The rear bracket member 44 in the insertion direction also passes through the opening 22h and the third slit 22g, just like the front bracket member 44 in the insertion direction. Meanwhile, the front bracket member 44 in the insertion direction passes through the opening 22k and the communicating passage 22c in the other second guide rail 22B. Then, the connecting portion 43 of the rear bracket member 44 is then positioned in the second slit 22b of the second guide rail 22 (22A) (see FIG. 13C). At the same time, the connecting portion 43 of the front bracket member 44 in the X direction is also positioned in the second slit 22b of the second guide rail 22 (22B).

[0071] When the front bracket member 44 in the insertion direction and the rear bracket member 44 in the insertion direction are positioned at the second slits 22b in this manner, the front bracket member 44 in the insertion direction is guided by the second guide rail 22B, and the rear bracket member 44 in the insertion direction is guided by the second guide rail 22A. The front and rear bracket members 44 in the insertion direction are then guided to a position where the fixing portion 22i formed on the second guide rail 22 and the fixing portion 42c formed on the bracket member 44 overlap in a plan view, as shown in FIG. 13D. Once the fixing portion 22i and the fixing portion 42c are guided to a position where they overlap, the fixing portion 22i and the fixing portion 42c are fixed by screws. In this manner, the bracket member 44 (the guided object 40) is fixed to the second guide rail 22 (the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50).

[0072] Note that, because a plurality of fixing portions 22i are formed on the second guide rail 22, a preferred fixing portion 22i is selected from the plurality of fixing portions 22i for fixing the bracket member 44. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a fixing portion 22i at a position preferred by the user is selected from five fixing portions 22i formed on one second guide rail 22. Then, the bracket member 44 is fixed to the second guide rail 22. Also, because a plurality of fixing portions 22i are formed, even if one of the fixing portions 22i is used to fix a guided body 40, another guided body 40 can be fixed by the remaining fixing portions 22i.

[0073] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the dimension of the plate-like body 41 in the X direction is approximately the same as the dimension of the first guide rail 21 in the longitudinal direction, and the position of the guided body 40 in the X direction cannot be adjusted, but this is not limiting. The dimension of the plate-like body 41 in the X direction may be smaller than the dimension of the first guide rail 21 in the longitudinal direction, and the position of the guided body 40 may be adjustable in the X direction. In this case, the first guide rail 21 may also be formed with a plurality of fixing portions similar to the fixing portions 22i of the second guide rail 22.

[0074] <Effects, etc.> The support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 configured as described above includes the first guide rail 21 that guides the guided object 40 in a first direction (X direction) and the second guide rail 22 that guides the guided object 40 in a second direction (Y direction) different from the first direction (X direction), so that the guided object 40 is guided not only on the first guide rail 21 but also on the second guide rail 22. The guided object 40 guided by the first guide rail 21 is then guided by the second guide rail 22, so that the guided object 40 can be positioned at a preferred position on the second guide rail 22. For example, the in-vehicle device 50 can be attached in an area (e.g., a portion R1 within the door opening area) close to the position where the guided object 40 moves from the first guide rail 21 to the second guide rail 22. Furthermore, by moving the guided object 40 that has moved to the second guide rail 22 in the vehicle longitudinal direction along the second guide rail 22, the in-vehicle device 50 can be attached to an area (for example, a portion R2 outside the door opening area) away from the first guide rail 21. This improves the degree of freedom in the attachment position of the in-vehicle device.

[0075] Furthermore, the second guide rail 22 is connected to the first guide rail 21 so that the second guide surface 22a is positioned on an extension of the first guide surface 21a, so that the guided body 40 can move smoothly between the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22 without getting caught on steps or the like.

[0076] In addition, the first guide rail 21 has a first slit 21b adjacent to the first guide surface 21a, and the second guide rail 22 has a second slit 22b adjacent to the second guide surface 22a and communicating with the first slit 21b, so that the guided object 40 can easily move back and forth between the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22.

[0077] Furthermore, the second guide rail 22 has a guide path 22f that guides the guided object 40 from the outside of the support device 20 to the first guide rail 21, so the guided object 40 is guided from the outside of the support device 20 across the second guide rail 22 to the first guide rail 21. As a result, the guided object 40 is guided from the outside to both the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22.

[0078] Furthermore, since at least two first guide rails 21 parallel to each other are provided, the guided body 40 is guided along the first guide rails 21 while being supported by at least two bracket members 44 provided on the guided body 40. Therefore, the guided body 40 is guided along the first guide rails 21 in a stable posture.

[0079] Furthermore, since at least two second guide rails 22 parallel to each other are provided, the guided body 40 is guided along the second guide rails 22 while being supported by at least two bracket members 44 provided on the guided body 40. Therefore, the guided body 40 is guided along the second guide rails 22 in a stable posture.

[0080] Furthermore, since the first guide rail 21 is located within the range of the door opening 17 in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle 10, the guided body 40 can be easily attached (or detached) through the door opening 17. Furthermore, since the opening 22h is also formed in the door opening region portion R1, the guided body 40 can be easily attached (or detached) through the door opening 17.

[0081] Furthermore, since the second guide rail 22 has a plurality of fixing portions 22i to which the guided object 40 is fixed, it is possible to select the fixing position of the guided object 40 on the second guide rail 22. In other words, the fixing portion 22i to which the guided object 40 is fixed is selected from the plurality of fixing portions 22i on the second guide rail 22. This improves the degree of freedom in the mounting position of the guided object 40 on the second guide rail 22.

[0082] Furthermore, with the guided body 40 configured as described above, when the first sliding portion 42a slides on the first guide surface 21a, the connecting portion passes vertically outside the edge of the first guide surface 21a to support the plate-like body 41, and when the second sliding portion 42b slides on the second guide surface 22a, the connecting portion passes vertically outside the edge of the second guide surface 22a to support the plate-like body 41. This allows the guided body 40 to be guided not only by the first guide surface 21a but also by the second guide surface 22a. The guided body 40 guided by the first guide surface 21a is then guided by the second guide surface 22a, allowing the guided body 40 to be positioned at a preferred position on the second guide surface 22a. Furthermore, because the connecting portion passes vertically outside the edges of the first guide surface 21a and the second guide surface 22a to support the plate-like body 41, this configuration is also suitable for a hanging-type guided body 40. That is, the support device 20 is also suitable for being attached to the ceiling of the vehicle 10.

[0083] <Modification> In the above-described embodiment, the guided body 40 is provided with four slide portions 42, but the present invention is not limited to this. Any configuration may be used as long as it is provided with one or more slide portions 42. However, if two or more slide portions 42 are provided, the guided body is transported in a more stable posture.

[0084] In the above-described embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which a portion of the guided body 40 passes through the first slit 21b in the vertical direction, and a configuration is adopted in which a portion of the guided body 40 passes through the second slit 22b in the vertical direction, but this is not limiting. A guided body that is guided by a guide rail that does not have the first slit 21b or the second slit 22b may also be adopted.

[0085] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 is fixed to the reinforcement 15 that reinforces the roof panel 13, but this is not limitative. Furthermore, the placement of the support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 is not limited to the ceiling portion. The support device 20 for the in-vehicle device 50 may be fixed to, for example, the door panel 14 for getting in and out or the floor portion.

[0086] In the above-described embodiment, all of the first guide rails 21 are arranged in the area R1 inside the door opening area, but this is not limiting. Some or all of the first guide rails 21 may be arranged in the area R2 outside the door opening area.

[0087] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the first guide rail 21 has a pair of first guide surfaces 21a, but this is not limiting. Alternatively, the first guide rail 21 may have, for example, a single first guide surface 21a. In this configuration, the first guide rail 21 does not have a first slit 21b formed between the pair of first guide surfaces 21a. In this case, the connection portion 43 of the guided object 40 does not pass through the first slit 21b in the vertical direction, but passes along the outer edge of the first guide surface 21a in the vertical direction. Similarly, the second guide rail 22 has a pair of second guide surfaces 22a, but this is not limiting. Alternatively, the second guide rail 22 may have, for example, a single second guide surface 22a. In this configuration, the second guide rail 22 does not have a second slit 22b formed between the pair of second guide surfaces 22a. In this case, the connection portion 43 of the guided body 40 does not pass through the second slit 22b in the vertical direction, but passes along the outside of the edge of the second guide surface 22a in the vertical direction.

[0088] In the above-described embodiment, the second guide rail 22 includes a portion R1 inside the door opening area and a portion R2 outside the door opening area, but this is not limiting. The second guide rail 22 may include only the portion R1 inside the door opening area, or may include only the portion R2 outside the door opening area.

[0089] The configurations described in the above embodiment and modified examples can be modified as appropriate as long as they are not mutually inconsistent. [Explanation of symbols]
