Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle windshield accessory structure that is fixed as an accessory device to, for example, the upper part of the inner surface of a windshield glass of a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] Vehicles such as automobiles may be equipped with a variety of driving assistance systems to assist the driver, such as advanced driving assistance systems that partially intervene in the driver's driving and provide assistance, and automated driving systems that take over driving operations from the driver and drive the vehicle automatically. In vehicles equipped with such a system, electronic devices such as a camera for detecting the situation ahead of the vehicle and a communication antenna may be fixed to the upper part of the inner surface of the windshield glass.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an auxiliary device in which a driving assistance locator camera that detects information about the vehicle's surroundings and a telephoto camera that detects distant conditions and has a longer focal length than the locator camera are fixed to the windshield glass, and the locator camera and telephoto camera are covered by an auxiliary cover that bulges out toward the front of the vehicle from the front end of the front header.

[0004] Recently, there has been a need to reduce the overall height of a vehicle in order to improve the marketability of the vehicle or reduce air resistance. However, when the overall height of the vehicle is kept low, the auxiliary equipment provided above the windshield glass comes closer to the heads of the occupants in the vertical direction of the vehicle. For this reason, an accessory cover that bulges out toward the front of the vehicle, as in Patent Document 1, may obstruct the view of passengers in the front seats. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-099046 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary structure for a vehicle windshield that can ensure visibility for front seat occupants even when the overall height of the vehicle is reduced. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention relates to an auxiliary structure for a vehicle windshield, which is fixed as an auxiliary device to an upper portion of the inner surface of a windshield glass of a vehicle, and includes: a bracket fixed to the inner surface of the windshield glass at a position spaced a predetermined distance forward of the vehicle from a front header; a mirror support structure fixed to the bracket and supporting a rearview mirror; a plurality of electronic devices arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction across the mirror support structure and fixed to the bracket; a plurality of wire harnesses extending from the electronic devices and routed toward the vehicle below the front header; and a wiring harness fixed to the bracket and connected to the mirror support structure and the The mirror support structure is provided with an auxiliary equipment cover that integrally covers the electronic devices, and a harness cover that extends from the auxiliary equipment cover to the front header in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle and accommodates the plurality of wire harnesses, the mirror support structure is provided with a mirror support portion that extends downward from an upper end fixed to the bracket, the mirror support portion has an opening portion that is formed through the mirror support portion in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, and the wire harness extends in the vehicle width direction from the side of one of the electronic devices facing the other electronic device, and is routed from the front of the vehicle of the mirror support portion through the opening portion to the rear of the mirror support portion.

[0008] The front header is a body frame member to which the upper edge of the windshield glass is fixed. The above-mentioned bracket refers to a bracket in which the part to which the mirror support structure is fixed and the part to which the electronic device is fixed are separate bodies, or a bracket in which the part to which the mirror support structure is fixed and the part to which the electronic device is fixed are integrated.

[0009] The electronic devices include cameras that capture images of the situation ahead of the vehicle, sensors such as rain sensors that detect rainfall, and antennas that communicate with infrastructure facilities between vehicles and around the vehicles. The wire harness may be a wire harness that is directly led out from the electronic device, or a wire harness that is connected to the electronic device via a connector. The harness cover may be a cover formed separately from the accessory cover, or a cover formed integrally with the accessory cover.

[0010] According to the present invention, visibility for front seat occupants can be ensured even when the overall height of the vehicle is reduced. More specifically, the vehicle windshield auxiliary structure has a wire harness that extends in the vehicle width direction from the side of one electronic device facing the other electronic device and is routed through an opening in the mirror support pillar to the rear of the vehicle.

[0011] Therefore, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield eliminates the need for wiring space for the wire harness behind the electronic device, and the wire harness can be routed in a substantially straight line in a plan view from the front of the vehicle at the mirror support pillar to the front header. This allows the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield to position the rear wall portion that forms the rear part of the auxiliary cover close to the electronic device, and also allows the width of the harness cover that houses the wire harness to be narrower than the width of the auxiliary cover.

[0012] Therefore, the accessory structure of the vehicle windshield separates the rear wall portion of the accessory cover from the front header and positions a narrow harness cover between the front header and the accessory cover, thereby forming a transparent area at the top of the windshield glass between the accessory cover and the front header and adjacent to the harness cover, allowing front seat occupants to see the situation in front of the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle windshield accessory structure can ensure visibility for front seat occupants even when the overall height of the vehicle is reduced.

[0013] In addition, the accessory structure of the vehicle windshield can reduce the feeling of pressure that the accessory cover gives to front seat occupants by forming a transparent area between the front header and the accessory cover.

[0014] Furthermore, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield allows the wiring route of the wire harness to be approximately the same for right-hand drive vehicles and left-hand drive vehicles, for example, making it easier to design the wiring route of the wire harness and enabling parts to be standardized between right-hand drive vehicles and left-hand drive vehicles.

[0015] In one aspect of the present invention, the electronic device may be a first electronic device, the wire harness may be a first wire harness, and the device may include a second electronic device that is arranged in front of the mirror support structure and fixed to the bracket, and a second wire harness that extends from the second electronic device toward the rear of the vehicle and is routed toward the underside of the front header, and the second wire harness may extend from the rear of the second electronic device and be routed from the front of the mirror support pillar through the opening to the rear of the mirror support pillar.

[0016] According to this configuration, the second wire harness connected to the second electronic device is routed toward the rear of the vehicle through the opening in the mirror support pillar, so not only can the second wire harness be routed in an approximately straight line in a planar view, but the second electronic device, the mirror support structure, and the second wire harness can be arranged in an approximately straight line in a planar view along the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle.

[0017] As a result, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield can position the second electronic device close to the mirror support pillar portion of the mirror support structure in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, so that the second electronic device and second wire harness can be positioned above the windshield glass without increasing the size of the auxiliary cover.

[0018] Therefore, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield can achieve multi-functionality by the first electronic device and the second electronic device while ensuring visibility for the occupant and reducing the feeling of oppression given to the occupant.

[0019] As another aspect of the present invention, the mirror support pillar may be formed in a shape having a front edge whose lower end is positioned rearward of the vehicle relative to its upper end in a side view. This configuration not only ensures that there is space for routing the wire harness in front of the mirror support section in a side view of the vehicle, but also prevents damage to the wire harness due to unintentional contact between the wire harness and the mirror support section. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an auxiliary structure for a vehicle windshield that can ensure visibility for front seat occupants even when the overall height of the vehicle is reduced. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

For clarity of illustration, the four wire harnesses are omitted from FIG.

[0025] In the drawings, arrows Fr and Rr indicate the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, with arrow Fr indicating the front of the vehicle and arrow Rr indicating the rear of the vehicle. Furthermore, arrows Rh and Lh indicate the width direction of the vehicle, with arrow Rh indicating the right side in the width direction of the vehicle and arrow Lh indicating the left side in the width direction of the vehicle.

[0026] First, the vehicle 1 in this embodiment is a vehicle whose overall height is kept low so that the front part of the roof panel 3 (see Figure 3), which forms the exterior design surface, is close to the heads of occupants seated in the front seats in the vertical direction of the vehicle. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the upper part of the front of this vehicle 1 is equipped with a windshield glass 2 that separates the passenger compartment from the space in front of the vehicle, a roof panel 3 (see Figure 3) that forms the roof of the vehicle 1 and is continuous with the windshield glass 2, a roof trim 4 that covers the ceiling inside the passenger compartment, and a rearview mirror 5 that is supported on the windshield glass 2 via a mirror support structure 20, which will be described later.

[0027] Specifically, the windshield glass 2 is a so-called front window glass that is adhesively fixed to a body frame member of the vehicle 1. The windshield glass 2 has both ends in the vehicle width direction adhesively fixed to the left and right front pillars extending in the vehicle vertical direction, and a lower end adhesively fixed to a cowl panel connecting the lower ends of the front pillars. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper end of the windshield glass 2 is adhesively fixed, via the roof panel 3, to a flange portion (reference numeral omitted) on the vehicle front side of a front header 6 that connects the upper ends of the front pillars.

[0028] As shown in Figure 3, the cross-sectional shape of the front header 6 in a vertical cross section along the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle is approximately hat-shaped, protruding downward from the vehicle, and is joined to the underside of the roof panel 3 to form a closed cross section extending in the vehicle width direction.

[0029] The roof trim 4 is an interior member provided to cover the roof panel 3 from the inside of the vehicle. As shown in Fig. 2, an overhead console 4a that accepts various operations by the occupants is disposed on the roof trim 4 near the center in the vehicle width direction.

[0030] The rearview mirror 5 is an automatic anti-glare mirror that detects light and automatically adjusts brightness, and is located approximately in the center of the vehicle width. As shown in Fig. 2, the rearview mirror 5 has a front surface that is approximately arc-shaped when viewed from the bottom and protrudes forward of the vehicle, and a rear surface that is composed of a substantially flat mirror surface 5a that faces the occupants sitting in the front seats.

[0031] Specifically, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the rearview mirror 5 faces the rear cover wall portion 64 of the auxiliary equipment cover 60 described later in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, and is positioned so that approximately the center of the mirror surface 5a in the vehicle width direction is located at approximately the same position in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle as the front end of the roof trim 4.

[0032] The rearview mirror 5 has an opening formed in the approximate center of the width on the front surface into which the mirror support structure 20 described later fits, and is equipped with a wire harness 7 (see Figure 3) that is led out toward the front of the vehicle through the opening.

[0033] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the above-mentioned vehicle 1 is equipped with an auxiliary device 8 that detects the situation in front of the vehicle, located approximately in the center of the vehicle width direction on the upper inner surface of the windshield glass 2, as part of a driving assistance system that assists the driver in driving operations.

[0034] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, this auxiliary device 8 includes a bracket 10 fixed to the inner surface of the windshield glass 2, a mirror support structure 20 fixed to the bracket 10, a camera unit 31, a rain sensor 32, and a communication antenna 33.

[0035] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the auxiliary equipment 8 includes four wire harnesses, a bracket 10, a mirror support structure 20, a camera unit 31, a rain sensor 32, a communication antenna 33, and a cover member 50 that integrally covers the four wire harnesses.

[0036] First, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the bracket 10 is adhesively fixed to the inner surface of the windshield glass 2 using a thermosetting adhesive so that its rear end is located at a predetermined distance in front of the vehicle from the front edge 6a of the front header 6.

[0037] 3 and 4, the mirror support structure 20 is a support member that supports the rearview mirror 5 with a ball joint structure. The mirror support structure 20 is fixed inside the auxiliary device 8 at approximately the center in the vehicle width direction at the rear of the bracket 10.

[0038] The camera unit 31 is composed of a lens, an image sensor, etc., and is provided with a connector (reference numeral omitted) on its rear surface to which a camera wire harness 42 (described later) is connected. The camera unit 31 is disposed inside the auxiliary equipment device 8, approximately in the center in the vehicle width direction, and in front of the mirror support structure 20, as shown in Figures 3 and 6.

[0039] The rain sensor 32 is composed of an element and a housing that detects raindrops adhering to the windshield glass 2, and is provided with a connector (reference numeral omitted) on the left side in the vehicle width direction to which a sensor wire harness 43 (described later) is connected. As shown in Fig. 6, the rain sensor 32 is disposed inside the auxiliary device 8 on the right side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the mirror support structure 20.

[0040] The communication antenna 33 is, for example, a V2X antenna, and includes a connector (reference numeral omitted) to which an antenna wire harness 44 (described later) is connected, on the right side in the vehicle width direction. As shown in FIG. 6 , the communication antenna 33 is disposed inside the auxiliary device 8 on the left side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the mirror support structure 20.

[0041] As shown in Figures 4 and 6, the four wire harnesses are composed of a mirror wire harness 41 connected to the wire harness 7 extending from the rearview mirror 5, a camera wire harness 42 connected to the camera unit 31, a sensor wire harness 43 connected to the rain sensor 32, and an antenna wire harness 44 connected to the communication antenna 33. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the four wire harnesses are gathered together in front of the mirror support structure 20 and routed in a substantially straight line in a plan view toward the front header 6 below the vehicle.

[0042] As shown in Figures 3, 5 and 7, the cover member 50 is box-shaped with an opening on the upper side of the vehicle, and is formed in a roughly T-shape in plan view with a roughly rectangular portion that is long in the vehicle width direction and a roughly rectangular portion that is long in the vehicle front-to-rear direction.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, such an auxiliary device 8 exposes a portion adjacent to the front edge 6a of the front header 6 at the top of the windshield glass 2, forming a transparent area E through which occupants sitting in the front seats can see the situation in front of the vehicle.

[0044] Next, the above-mentioned auxiliary device 8 will be described in more detail. As shown in Figure 5, the bracket 10 is composed of a mirror bracket 11 to which the mirror support structure 20 is fixed, a camera bracket 12 to which the camera unit 31 and communication antenna 33 are fixed, and a sensor bracket 13 to which the rain sensor 32 is fixed.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the mirror bracket 11 is fixed at a position approximately in the center of the vehicle width direction in a plan view and at a predetermined distance forward of the vehicle from the front end edge 6a of the front header 6.

[0046] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, this mirror bracket 11 is integrally formed of a roughly circular disk portion (symbol omitted) that is adhesively fixed to the windshield glass 2, and a roughly cylindrical mating portion (symbol omitted) that has a slightly smaller diameter than the circular disk portion and extends downward toward the vehicle, and into which the mirror support structure 20 is mated.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 5, the camera bracket 12 is generally rectangular in plan view and is elongated in the vehicle width direction, and has an outer shape that is slightly smaller than the inner shape of the cover member 50 (the accessory cover 60 of the cover member 50, which will be described later). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, the camera bracket 12 is formed with a rear cutout 12a that exposes the mirror bracket 11 and a right cutout 12b that exposes the rain sensor 32.

[0048] As shown in Figure 5, the rear cutout portion 12a is formed by cutting out the portion of the camera bracket 12 from the rear end toward the front of the vehicle in a generally circular shape in plan view that is approximately concentric with the mirror bracket 11 and has a slightly larger diameter than the mirror bracket 11. The rear cutout portion 12a is cut out so that the rear end of a main body portion 121 (described later) is located at a position rearward of the front end of the mirror bracket 11 and forward of the center in the radial direction of the vehicle.

[0049] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, the right cutout portion 12b is formed by cutting out the area from the right edge of the camera bracket 12 in the vehicle width direction along the tip edge of the main body portion 121 (described later) in a roughly rectangular shape in plan view that is slightly larger than the rain sensor 32.

[0050] In more detail, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the camera bracket 12 is integrally formed of a flat main body portion 121 to which the camera unit 31 and communication antenna 33 are fixed, and a hood portion 122 which is approximately triangular in plan view and is stepped downward from the main body portion 121 toward the bottom of the vehicle.

[0051] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the main body 121 of the camera bracket 12 is approximately flat and conforms to the inner surface of the windshield glass 2, and is formed with a rear cutout 12a that exposes the above-mentioned mirror bracket 11 and a right cutout 12b that exposes the rain sensor 32.

[0052] Furthermore, on the underside of the main body 121, although detailed illustration is omitted, there is provided a portion between the rear notch 12a and the right notch 12b where the connector 7a of the wire harness 7 extending from the rearview mirror 5 is engaged, and there is also provided a portion where the communication antenna 33 is engaged at a position spaced a predetermined distance to the right side in the vehicle width direction from the left edge in the vehicle width direction.

[0053] In addition, as shown in Figure 4, a camera mounting portion 123 for mounting a camera unit 31 is integrally formed on the underside of the main body portion 121 at a position on the front side of the rear cutout portion 12a and at a predetermined distance in front of the vehicle from the mirror support structure 20. The camera attachment portions 123 are plate members that face each other at a predetermined interval in the vehicle width direction, and are formed in a shape that allows the camera unit 31 to engage with them.

[0054] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the hood portion 122 of the camera bracket 12 is formed in a stepped shape that is approximately triangular in plan view, with the apex located on the rear side of the vehicle, from the front end of the camera bracket 12 to the camera mounting portion 123.

[0055] Furthermore, camera opening 12c, which exposes the front end of camera unit 31 attached to camera attachment portion 123, is formed near the apex of a generally triangular shape in a plan view in hood portion 122. This camera opening 12c is formed in a generally rectangular shape in a front view that penetrates in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 5, the sensor bracket 13 is generally plate-shaped along the inner surface of the windshield glass 2 and is generally annular in plan view with an opening that exposes the central portion of the rain sensor 32 in plan view. The sensor bracket 13 is formed in a shape that is approximately similar to the outer shape of the rain sensor 32 but slightly smaller than the outer shape of the rain sensor 32 .

[0057] The mirror support structure 20 is formed in a shape that ensures a space between the mirror support structure 20 and the camera unit 31 for collecting the mirror wire harness 41, the sensor wire harness 43, and the antenna wire harness 44 together.

[0058] Specifically, as shown in Figures 3, 8 and 9(a), the mirror support structure 20 is integrally formed of a columnar mirror support portion 21 that extends downward from the upper end of the mirror bracket 11 and is fitted and fixed to the mirror bracket 11, and a mirror arm portion 26 that faces the opening on the front of the rearview mirror 5 and extends from the lower part of the mirror support portion 21 toward the rear of the vehicle.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 9, the mirror support pillar 21 of the mirror support structure 20 is integrally formed with a substantially cylindrical upper portion and a substantially rectangular box-shaped lower portion that is open toward the front of the vehicle and has a rectangular shape when viewed from the front.

[0060] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the mirror pillar portion 21 is integrally formed of a substantially cylindrical fitting portion 22 extending in the vertical direction of the vehicle, a pair of side wall portions 23 extending downward from both ends of the fitting portion 22 in the vehicle width direction, a bottom plate portion 24 connecting the lower ends of the side wall portions 23 in the vehicle width direction, and a rear wall portion 25 connecting the rear ends of the side wall portions 23 in the vehicle width direction.

[0061] As shown in Figure 8, the fitting portion 22 of the mirror support portion 21 has an inner surface shaped to fit into the outer peripheral surface of the above-mentioned mirror bracket 11, and is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape with an opening below the vehicle that is closed. As shown in FIG. 9(b), the pair of side wall portions 23 of the mirror support portion 21 are generally flat plates having a thickness in the vehicle width direction, and are formed at positions spaced a predetermined distance apart in the vehicle width direction.

[0062] As shown in Figure 8, this side wall portion 23 has a rear end edge that is approximately vertical in side view and a front end edge that is inclined approximately linearly relative to the upper end so that the lower end is located rearward of the vehicle, and is formed in a generally inverted trapezoidal shape in side view with the lower end edge being the short side. In other words, the side wall portion 23 is formed in a shape having a front edge that moves away from the camera unit 31 rearward in a side view from the upper side of the vehicle toward the lower side of the vehicle.

[0063] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9(a), a clamp mounting hole 23a is formed in the lower part of the side wall portion 23 on the right side in the vehicle width direction, which penetrates along the vehicle width direction and is used to mount a clamp C (see Figure 4) that regulates the position of the wire harness 7.

[0064] In addition, as shown in Figure 9(b), the bottom plate portion 24 of the mirror support portion 21 is plate-shaped with a thickness in the vertical direction, and connects the lower ends of the side wall portions 23 so as to connect the short sides of the side wall portions 23, which are approximately trapezoidal in side view, in the vehicle width direction.

[0065] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the rear wall portion 25 of the mirror support pillar 21 is a plate-like member having a thickness in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, and is arranged to close the opening on the rear side of the vehicle formed by the fitting portion 22, the pair of side wall portions 23, and the bottom plate portion 24.

[0066] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, an approximately circular through hole 25a is formed in the upper part of this rear wall portion 25, spanning the mating portion 22 and penetrating from the front side of the vehicle toward the rear and upper side of the vehicle along the boundary with the mating portion 22.

[0067] The mirror support portion 21 has an opening 21a, through which the camera wire harness 42 is inserted, which is formed by an opening that is roughly rectangular in front view and is surrounded by the fitting portion 22, a pair of side wall portions 23 and the bottom plate portion 24, and a through hole 25a in the rear wall portion 25.

[0068] As shown in Figure 3, the opening portion 21a of this mirror support portion 21 is provided as a wiring path for wiring the camera wire harness 42 along the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, and is also formed as a storage space for accommodating the rear portion of the connector 42a of the camera wire harness 42.

[0069] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9(a), the mirror arm 26 of the mirror support structure 20 extends from a position below the through-hole 25a of the mirror support pillar 21 toward the rear of the vehicle. As shown in Figure 9(a), this mirror arm 26 is composed of a roughly cylindrical pillar portion 27 extending from the rear wall portion 25 of the mirror support portion 21 toward the rear of the vehicle, and a roughly spherical portion 28 provided at the tip of the pillar portion 27.

[0070] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, the mirror arm 26 has an arm through-hole 26a formed therein, which penetrates along the axial direction of the columnar portion 27 and communicates with the opening 21a of the mirror support 21. The arm through-hole 26a is formed as an insertion hole through which the wire harness 7 extending from the rearview mirror 5 is inserted.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 8, the camera unit 31 is attached to the camera attachment portion 123 of the camera bracket 12 at a position further forward of the vehicle than the mirror support structure 20 described above.

[0072] This camera unit 31 is connected to an electronic control unit (not shown) via a camera wire harness 42, and has the function of receiving incident light that has passed through the windshield glass 2 and the function of converting the received incident light into an electrical signal and outputting it to the electronic control unit.

[0073] The electronic control unit is an information processing unit located inside the vehicle cabin that processes various types of information, and is configured to generate moving images showing the situation in front of the vehicle based on electrical signals from the camera unit 31, for example, and to perform various processing based on the generated moving images.

[0074] In addition, the rain sensor 32 is connected to an electronic control unit (not shown) via a sensor wire harness 43, and has the function of detecting the amount of raindrops adhering to the windshield glass 2 and the function of outputting a signal indicating the detected amount of raindrops to the electronic control unit.

[0075] In addition, the communication antenna 33 is connected to an electronic control unit (not shown) via an antenna wire harness 44, and has the function of communicating with other vehicles and sending and receiving various information to and from surrounding infrastructure facilities.

[0076] As shown in Figure 6, the rain sensor 32 and the communication antenna 33 are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction, sandwiching the mirror support structure 20, and are positioned so that their rear ends are located slightly rearward of the vehicle relative to the front end of the mirror bracket 11 in a plan view.

[0077] Of the four wire harnesses, the mirror wire harness 41 is a wire harness having a connector 41a at its tip, which is connected to the wire harness 7 led out from the rearview mirror 5, as shown in FIG.

[0078] Here, as shown in Figures 4 and 6, the wire harness 7 extending from the rearview mirror 5 passes through the arm through-hole 26a and is led to the front of the vehicle of the mirror support structure 20, and is then bent back and routed toward the rear of the vehicle below the camera unit 31. Furthermore, the wire harness 7 bent back toward the rear of the vehicle has a connector 7a at the end thereof which is engaged with the camera bracket 12 between the camera unit 31 and the rain sensor 32. In contrast, as shown in Figure 6, the mirror wire harness 41 is routed from the connector 41a connected to the connector 7a of the wire harness 7 toward the rear of the vehicle and toward the left side in the vehicle width direction, and then passes through the opening 21a of the mirror support pillar 21 and is routed toward the rear of the vehicle of the mirror support structure 20.

[0079] The mirror wire harness 41 is positioned so that the rear end of the connector 41a is located further forward of the rear end of the rain sensor 32, and is bent back to the left in the vehicle width direction near the rear end of the connector 41a.

[0080] Of the four wire harnesses, the camera wire harness 42 is a wire harness having a connector 42a at its tip, which is connected to a connector (reference numeral omitted) of the camera unit 31, as shown in FIGS.

[0081] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the camera wire harness 42 is routed from the camera unit 31 through the opening 21a of the mirror support structure 20 to the rear of the mirror support structure 20.

[0082] Of the four wire harnesses, the sensor wire harness 43 is a wire harness having a connector 43a at its tip, which is connected to a connector (reference numeral omitted) of the rain sensor 32, as shown in FIG.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 6, the sensor wire harness 43 is routed from the rain sensor 32 toward the left side in the vehicle width direction, and then bent back toward the rear of the vehicle in front of the mirror support structure 20. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the sensor wire harness 43 is routed through the opening 21a of the mirror support pillar 21 to the rear of the mirror support structure 20 in the vehicle.

[0084] Of the four wire harnesses, the antenna wire harness 44 is a wire harness having a connector 44a at its tip, which is connected to a connector (reference numeral omitted) of the communication antenna 33, as shown in FIG.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 6, the antenna wire harness 44 is routed from the communication antenna 33 toward the right side in the vehicle width direction, and then bent back toward the rear of the vehicle in front of the mirror support structure 20. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the antenna wire harness 44 is routed through the opening 21a of the mirror support pillar 21 to the rear of the mirror support structure 20 in the vehicle.

[0086] In this way, of the four wire harnesses in the vehicle windshield auxiliary structure, three wire harnesses, namely the mirror wire harness 41, the sensor wire harness 43, and the antenna wire harness 44, are gathered together at the front of the vehicle from the mirror support structure 20, and are routed together with the camera wire harness 42 to the rear of the vehicle from the mirror support structure 20.

[0087] The four wire harnesses routed to the rear of the vehicle from the mirror support structure 20 are routed in a generally straight line in a plan view toward the rear of the vehicle along the inner surface of the windshield glass 2, while their positions are restricted by the harness cover 70 of the cover member 50 described later.

[0088] As shown in Figures 3 and 6, the cover member 50 is integrally formed of an accessory cover 60 that integrally covers the camera unit 31, rain sensor 32, and communication antenna 33 fixed to the bracket 10, and a harness cover 70 that covers the four wire harnesses that extend from the accessory cover 60 to the outside. Although not shown in detail, the cover member 50 is attached and fixed to the camera bracket 12 of the bracket 10.

[0089] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the accessory cover 60 is a cover that is approximately rectangular in plan view and is positioned at a predetermined distance in front of the vehicle from the front end edge 6a of the front header 6, and is formed in a shape that bulges downward from the inner surface of the windshield glass 2.

[0090] In more detail, as shown in Figure 8, the accessory cover 60 is formed in a roughly box-like shape with an opening at the top of the vehicle, and is made up of a roughly flat cover bottom 61 that faces the inner surface of the windshield glass 2 at a position below the vehicle at a predetermined distance, a cover front wall 62 that extends from the edge of the cover bottom 61 toward the top of the vehicle, a pair of cover side wall portions 63, and a cover rear wall portion 64.

[0091] As shown in FIG. 8, the cover bottom 61 is plate-shaped with its thickness oriented in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and is formed so as to be located below the opening in front of the rearview mirror 5 on the vehicle. In detail, the cover bottom 61 is composed of a main body portion (symbol omitted) that is approximately rectangular in plan view and long in the vehicle width direction, and a protruding portion (symbol omitted) that is approximately trapezoidal in plan view and protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle from the center in the vehicle width direction at the rear end of the main body portion, with the rear end being the short side. The cover bottom 61 is disposed so that the main surface is substantially horizontal.

[0092] 8, the cover front wall 62 is formed in a generally flat plate shape extending from the front end edge of the cover bottom 61 toward the front and upper side of the vehicle. A plurality of slit-shaped openings (reference numerals omitted) extending along the vehicle width direction are formed in the cover front wall 62 at predetermined intervals in the vehicle up-down direction.

[0093] 7, the pair of cover side wall portions 63 extend upward from both end edges in the vehicle width direction of the main body portion of the cover bottom portion 61. As shown in FIG. 6, the cover side wall portions 63 are formed so that their rear ends are located rearward of the front end of the mirror bracket 11 and forward of the center in the radial direction in plan view.

[0094] In addition, as shown in Figure 8, the cover rear wall portion 64 is located between the front surface of the rearview mirror 5 and the mirror support portion 21 of the mirror support structure 20, and extends from the rear end edge of the cover bottom portion 61 toward the top of the vehicle so as to face the front surface of the rearview mirror 5.

[0095] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, this cover rear wall portion 64 extends from the rear end of the cover bottom portion 61 toward the top of the vehicle, and is formed in a shape that protrudes in an approximately trapezoidal shape in plan view near the center in the vehicle width direction. As shown in FIG. 6, the cover rear wall portion 64 is formed so as to be close to the rear side of the vehicle of the rain sensor 32 and the communication antenna 33 in a plan view.

[0096] In detail, the cover rear wall portion 64 is composed of a rear end portion 641 and a pair of inclined portions 642 extending from the edge of the protruding portion of the cover bottom portion 61 which is approximately trapezoidal in plan view, and a rear wall main body portion 643 extending from the rear end edge of the main body portion of the cover bottom portion 61 which is approximately rectangular in plan view.

[0097] As shown in Figure 8, the rear end portion 641 of the cover rear wall portion 64 is flat and has a thickness in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, and is formed so as to be close to the mirror support pillar portion 21 of the mirror support structure 20 on the rear side of the vehicle in a vertical cross section along the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle.

[0098] Furthermore, this rear end portion 641 has an outlet hole 60a formed at the top that communicates with the inside of the harness cover 70, and an arm insertion hole 60b formed at the bottom through which the mirror arm 26 of the mirror support structure 20 is inserted. The lead-out hole 60a is formed to have a size that allows the four wire harnesses in a bundled state to be led out to the outside.

[0099] In addition, as shown in Figure 6, the pair of inclined portions 642 of the cover rear wall portion 64 extend from both ends of the rear end portion 641 in the vehicle width direction outward and toward the front of the vehicle so that, in a plan view, their tips are located near the outer side of the mirror bracket 11 in the vehicle width direction.

[0100] In plan view, the inclined portion 642 is disposed so that its front end is located rearward of the front end of the mirror bracket 11 and forward of the radial center of the mirror bracket 11. In other words, the front end of the inclined portion 642 is disposed so as to be located at approximately the same position in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle as the rear end of the cover side wall portion 63.

[0101] In addition, as shown in Figure 6, a pair of rear wall main body portions 643 of the cover rear wall portion 64 extend outward in the vehicle width direction from the outer tip of the inclined portion 642 in the vehicle width direction, and then are connected to the rear end of the cover side wall portion 63. The pair of rear wall main body portions 643 are located close to the rain sensor 32 and the communication antenna 33 on the rear side of the vehicle in a plan view.

[0102] With the cover rear wall portion 64 configured in this manner, the accessory cover 60 exposes the area between the front end edge 6a of the front header 6 on the windshield glass 2 and the cover rear wall portion 64 in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, forming a transparent area E, as shown in Figure 5.

[0103] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 6 to 8, the harness cover 70 of the cover member 50 extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction along the inner surface of the windshield glass 2 and is formed in a generally recessed groove-like cross section that opens upward toward the vehicle. The harness cover 70 is formed to have a length in the vehicle longitudinal direction that extends from the rear cover wall portion 64 of the accessory cover 60 to the flange portion of the front header 6 .

[0104] Specifically, the harness cover 70 is formed to be narrower than the length of the accessory cover 60 in the vehicle width direction and shorter than the length of the accessory cover 60 in the up-down direction. As shown in Figure 6, the internal space of this harness cover 70 is connected to the outlet hole 60a of the accessory cover 60 and is large enough to accommodate four wire harnesses that are concentrated in approximately the center of the vehicle width direction.

[0105] In this way, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield has the sensor wire harness 43 and the antenna wire harness 44 passed through the opening 21a of the mirror support portion 21 and routed in an approximately straight line in a plan view from the mirror support portion 21 to the front header 6.

[0106] As described above, the vehicle windshield accessory structure in this embodiment is a structure of the accessory device 8 fixed to the upper part of the inner surface of the windshield glass 2 of the vehicle 1.

[0107] This vehicle windshield accessory structure includes a bracket 10 fixed to the inner surface of the windshield glass 2 at a position a predetermined distance in front of the vehicle from the front header 6, and a mirror support structure 20 fixed to the bracket 10 and supporting the rearview mirror 5.

[0108] Furthermore, the vehicle windshield auxiliary structure includes a rain sensor 32 and a communication antenna 33 that are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction with the mirror support structure 20 in between and are fixed to the bracket 10 .

[0109] Furthermore, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield is provided with a sensor wire harness 43 routed from the rain sensor 32 toward the underside of the vehicle of the front header 6, and an antenna wire harness 44 routed from the communication antenna 33 toward the underside of the vehicle of the front header 6.

[0110] In addition, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield includes an auxiliary cover 60 that is fixed to the bracket 10 and integrally covers the mirror support structure 20, the rain sensor 32, and the communication antenna 33, and a harness cover 70 that extends in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle from the auxiliary cover 60 to the front header 6 and houses the sensor wire harness 43 and the antenna wire harness 44.

[0111] Furthermore, the mirror support structure 20 is provided with a mirror support pillar 21 that extends downward from an upper end fixed to the bracket 10. The mirror support pillar 21 has an opening 21a that is formed to penetrate the mirror support pillar 21 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0112] Furthermore, the sensor wire harness 43 extends in the vehicle width direction from the left side surface of the rain sensor 32 facing the communication antenna 33, and the antenna wire harness 44 extends in the vehicle width direction from the right side surface of the communication antenna 33 facing the rain sensor 32.

[0113] The sensor wire harness 43 and the antenna wire harness 44 are arranged to extend from the front of the mirror support 21 to the rear of the mirror support 21 through the opening 21a. According to this configuration, even if the overall height of the vehicle 1 is reduced, the visibility of the front seat passengers can be ensured.

[0114] In more detail, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield has a sensor wire harness 43 that extends in the vehicle width direction from the side of the rain sensor 32 facing the communication antenna 33 and is routed through the opening 21a of the mirror support portion 21 to the rear of the vehicle.

[0115] Furthermore, an antenna wire harness 44 extends in the vehicle width direction from the side of the communication antenna 33 facing the rain sensor 32, passes through the opening 21a of the mirror support 21, and is routed toward the rear of the vehicle.

[0116] Therefore, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield eliminates the need for wiring space for the wire harnesses behind the rain sensor 32 and communication antenna 33, and the sensor wire harness 43 and antenna wire harness 44 can be routed in an approximately linear manner in a plan view from the front of the vehicle at the mirror support portion 21 to the front header 6. As a result, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield can be configured such that the cover rear wall portion 64, which forms the rear portion of the auxiliary cover 60, is positioned close to the rain sensor 32 and the communication antenna 33, and the width of the harness cover 70, which houses the sensor wire harness 43 and the antenna wire harness 44, can be made narrower than the width of the auxiliary cover 60.

[0117] Therefore, the accessory structure of the vehicle windshield separates the cover rear wall portion 64 of the accessory cover 60 from the front header 6, and positions a narrow harness cover 70 between the front header 6 and the accessory cover 60, thereby forming a transparent area E at the top of the windshield glass 2 between the accessory cover 60 and the front header 6 and adjacent to the harness cover 70, allowing front seat occupants to see the situation in front of the vehicle. Therefore, even if the overall height of the vehicle is reduced, the visibility of the front seat passengers can be ensured.

[0118] In addition, the accessory structure of the vehicle windshield forms a transparent area E between the front header 6 and the accessory cover 60, thereby reducing the feeling of pressure that the accessory cover 60 gives to front seat occupants.

[0119] Furthermore, the vehicle windshield accessory structure allows the wiring routes of the wire harnesses to be substantially the same between right-hand drive vehicles and left-hand drive vehicles, for example, facilitating the design of the wiring routes of the sensor wire harness 43 and the antenna wire harness 44 and enabling the use of common parts between right-hand drive vehicles and left-hand drive vehicles. Also provided are a camera unit 31 that is disposed in front of the vehicle on the mirror support structure 20 and fixed to the bracket 10, and a camera wire harness 42 that extends from the camera unit 31 rearward of the vehicle and is routed toward the bottom of the vehicle in the front header 6.

[0120] The camera wire harness 42 extends from the rear of the camera unit 31, passes through the opening 21a from the front of the mirror support 21, and is routed to the rear of the mirror support 21.

[0121] According to this configuration, the camera wire harness 42 connected to the camera unit 31 is routed toward the rear of the vehicle through the opening 21a of the mirror support portion 21, so not only can the camera wire harness 42 be routed in an approximately straight line when viewed from above, but the camera unit 31, mirror support structure 20 and camera wire harness 42 can also be arranged in an approximately straight line when viewed from above along the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle.

[0122] As a result, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield can be configured so that the second electronic device is positioned close to the mirror support pillar portion 21 of the mirror support structure 20 in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, and therefore the camera unit 31 and camera wire harness 42 can be positioned above the windshield glass 2 without increasing the size of the auxiliary cover 60.

[0123] Therefore, the auxiliary structure of the vehicle windshield can be made multifunctional by incorporating the rain sensor 32, communication antenna 33, and camera unit 31, while ensuring visibility for the occupants and reducing the feeling of pressure on the occupants.

[0124] In addition, the mirror support portion 21 is formed in a shape having a front edge whose lower end is positioned rearward of the vehicle relative to its upper end in a side view.

[0125] This configuration not only ensures that there is sufficient space for routing the sensor wire harness 43 and the antenna wire harness 44 in front of the mirror support portion 21 in a side view of the vehicle, but also prevents damage to the wire harnesses due to unintentional contact between the sensor wire harness 43 and the antenna wire harness 44 and the mirror support portion 21.

[0126] In correspondence between the configuration of this invention and the above-mentioned embodiment, The electronic device and the first electronic device of the present invention correspond to the rain sensor 32 and the communication antenna 33 of the embodiment, Similarly, The wire harness and the first wire harness correspond to the sensor wire harness 43 and the antenna wire harness 44, The opening portion corresponds to the opening portion 21a, The second electronic device corresponds to the camera unit 31, The second wire harness corresponds to the camera wire harness 42, The present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above-described embodiments, and many other embodiments can be obtained.

[0127] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the front header 6 has a cross-sectional shape that is approximately hat-shaped in a vertical cross section along the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, but this is not limited to this, and the front header may have a cross-sectional shape that is closed in a vertical cross section along the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle.

[0128] In this case, the front header may be composed of, for example, a lower panel with a generally hat-shaped cross section that protrudes downward from the vehicle, and an upper panel with a generally hat-shaped cross section that is positioned above the vehicle relative to the lower panel and protrudes upward from the vehicle.

[0129] Furthermore, although the mirror bracket 11 and the camera bracket 12 are configured as separate bodies, the present invention is not limited to this, and the mirror bracket 11 and the camera bracket 12 may be configured as an integrated bracket.

[0130] Furthermore, although the mirror bracket 11, the camera bracket 12, and the sensor bracket 13 are configured as separate bodies, this is not limited to this, and the mirror bracket 11, the camera bracket 12, and the sensor bracket 13 may be configured as a single bracket.

[0131] Furthermore, the camera unit 31 is configured with a separate electronic control unit that generates moving images showing the situation in front of the vehicle, but this is not limited to this, and the camera unit may also be configured with an integrated control unit that generates moving images showing the situation in front of the vehicle from electrical signals based on the received incident light.

[0132] Furthermore, the two electronic devices, the rain sensor 32 and the communication antenna 33, are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction, sandwiching the mirror support structure 20 therebetween, but this is not limited to this, and the configuration may also be such that three or more electronic devices are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction, sandwiching the mirror support structure 20 therebetween.

[0133] Furthermore, although the camera unit 31, rain sensor 32, and communication antenna 33 have been used in the above description as electronic devices fixed to the bracket 10, the present invention is not limited to these and any appropriate electronic device may be used as long as it is an electronic device that can be fixed to the bracket 10. For example, the electronic device may be a GNSS antenna that receives GNSS signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System, a camera unit separate from the camera unit 31, or the like.

[0134] Furthermore, although the front end edge of the side wall portion 23 of the mirror support pillar portion 21 has a shape that is inclined in an approximately linear manner, this is not limited to this, and the front end edge of the side wall portion 23 may have a curved shape that protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle in side view, for example, as long as it has a shape that moves away from the camera unit 31 toward the rear of the vehicle in side view as it goes from the top of the vehicle to the bottom of the vehicle.

[0135] In addition to the camera bracket 12, a bracket for attaching the harness cover 70 may be provided. Furthermore, the cover member 50 is configured such that the accessory cover 60 and the harness cover 70 are integrally formed, but this is not limited to this, and the cover member may be configured such that the accessory cover 60 and the harness cover 70 are separate bodies.

[0136] In this case, the accessory cover and harness cover 70 may be separated at the front end position of the inclined portion 642 of the cover rear wall portion 64, or the accessory cover and harness cover 70 may be separated at the front end position of the inclined portion 642 of the cover rear wall portion 64.
