[0001] This specification discloses an upper structure of a vehicle cabin.

Background Art

[0002] A camera module is installed above the front glass of a vehicle. For example, in Patent Document 1, a camera is disposed in front of an inner mirror (also called a room mirror). This camera is also called a recognition camera. Based on the captured image by the camera, driving support control such as forward collision warning and lane keeping support is executed.

[0003] In Patent Documents 2 and 3, the camera is covered with a cover. More specifically, the cover includes a main cover and a sub-cover. The main cover has a substantially U-shaped configuration, and the arm of the inner mirror is disposed in the U-shaped groove. The sub-cover closes the U-shaped opening of the main cover. That is, an annular arm hole is formed by the main cover and the sub-cover.

[0004] The main cover and the sub-cover are provided with a detachable engagement mechanism so that the inner mirror and the camera can be replaced. For example, a bracket is attached to the front glass. The main cover is engaged with the bracket. Further, the sub-cover is engaged with the main cover.

[0007] The rearview mirror and arm, which swing in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, may come into contact with the main cover and sub-cover, potentially disengaging the engagement mechanism of these covers. For example, if at least one of the main cover and sub-cover is scattered into the passenger compartment, it becomes difficult to predict the behavior of that cover.

[0008] Therefore, this specification discloses a vehicle interior superstructure capable of suppressing the scattering of the main cover and sub-cover during a frontal collision of a vehicle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] This specification discloses a passenger compartment superstructure. The passenger compartment superstructure comprises a bracket, a camera, an inner mirror, a pivot arm, and a cover. The bracket is mounted on the windshield. The camera is supported by the bracket. The inner mirror is positioned behind the camera. The pivot arm pivotably supports the inner mirror on the windshield. The cover covers the camera. The cover also has an armhole through which the pivot arm passes. The cover comprises a main cover and a sub-cover. The sub-cover and the main cover are equipped with a detachable engagement mechanism. Furthermore, the passenger compartment superstructure comprises a connecting member. One end of the connecting member is fixed to the main cover and the other end is fixed to the sub-cover. Furthermore, the connecting member allows relative movement between the main cover and the sub-cover.

[0010] According to the above configuration, when the engagement mechanism of either the main cover or the sub-cover becomes disengaged, the connecting member prevents the disengaged cover from flying off.

[0011] In the above configuration, a stopper to prevent detachment may be formed on at least one of the two ends of the connecting member. In this case, a rib is formed on at least one of the main cover and the sub-cover. An insertion hole is drilled in the rib into which the stopper is inserted.

[0012] With the above configuration, the sub-cover can be separated from the main cover during maintenance, etc.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above configuration, the ribs may face the front of the vehicle. In this case, the ribs are positioned between the front seat and the connecting member along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0014] According to the above configuration, if gaps or openings are formed in the main cover or sub-cover, the ribs can be used as decorative panels to conceal the connecting members from the occupants.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above configuration, the ribs may face in the vehicle width direction.

[0016] According to the above configuration, the ribs can be made less likely to break when subjected to the input direction of the collision load (forward and backward direction).

[0017] In the above configuration, a sub-cover may be attached to the rear end of the main cover. In this case, a ventilation opening is formed at the front end of the main cover. A grid-like louver is formed on the sub-cover. The louver is partitioned by a longitudinal frame in the vehicle's front-rear direction and a transverse frame in the vehicle's width direction. In this case, the ribs are formed on the longitudinal frame.

[0018] According to the above configuration, air from inside the vehicle cabin flows through the ventilation openings to the louvers. The ribs are positioned in a direction that does not obstruct this airflow.

[0019] Also, in the above configuration, as an engagement mechanism, a first engagement claw is formed on one of the main cover and the sub-cover. Further, a first engagement hole into which the first engagement claw is inserted is formed on the other. Additionally, a second engagement claw is formed on one of the bracket and the main cover. Also, a second engagement hole into which the second engagement claw is inserted is formed on the other. In this case, the upper structure of the passenger compartment includes a second connecting member. The second connecting member has one end fixed to the bracket and the other end fixed to the main cover. Further, the second connecting member enables the main cover to move relative to the bracket.

[0020] According to the above structure, when the main cover is detached from the bracket, the scattering of the main cover and the sub-cover is prevented.

Effects of the Invention

[0021] According to the upper structure of the passenger compartment disclosed in this specification, the scattering of the main cover and the sub-cover during a frontal collision of the vehicle can be suppressed.

[Figure 3] It is a view for explaining the detachment process of the cover based on the A-A cross-section of FIG. 2. [Figure 4] It is a view illustrating the bracket. [Figure 5] It is a view illustrating the main cover. [Figure 6] It is a view illustrating the sub-cover. [Figure 7] It is a view when the sub-cover is engaged with the main cover. [Figure 8] It is a view illustrating a first alternative example of the sub-cover.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] A vehicle superstructure according to an embodiment is described below with reference to drawings. The shapes, materials, quantities, and numerical values ​​described below are illustrative examples for illustrative purposes. These shapes, etc., can be appropriately modified according to the specifications of the vehicle compartment superstructure. In addition, the same reference numerals are used for equivalent elements in all drawings below.

[0024] Furthermore, in Figures 1-8, a Cartesian coordinate system consisting of the FR axis, RW axis, and UP axis is used to represent the position and direction of each component. The FR axis is the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, with the front of the vehicle as the positive direction. The RW axis is the width axis of the vehicle, with the right side of the vehicle as the positive direction. The UP axis is the vertical axis of the vehicle, with the upward direction as the positive direction.

[0025] As illustrated in Figure 3, the windshield 16 is inclined. Therefore, the bracket 90 (see Figure 4) and cover 30 positioned on the windshield 16 are strictly inclined with respect to the FR axis and UP axis. However, for the sake of simplicity, in Figures 4-8, the arrangement of the bracket 90 and cover 30, etc., will be assumed to be aligned with the FR axis and UP axis.

[0026] 1. Cabin upper structure Figure 1 illustrates the front area of ​​the passenger compartment 10. Figure 2 shows a magnified view of the superstructure within the front area of ​​the vehicle. As will be described later, the vehicle superstructure according to this embodiment includes a bracket 90 (see Figure 4), a camera 15, an inner mirror 20 (see Figure 2), and a cover 30.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1, a windshield 16 is positioned in front of the front seats 12, 12. An inner mirror 20 is positioned at the upper edge of the windshield 16. The inner mirror 20 is surrounded by a cover 30. For example, the cover 30 allows the pivot arm 22 to pass through an armhole 32 (see Figure 2). The cover 30 also covers the camera 15 (see Figure 4).

[0028] The cover 30 comprises a main cover 40 and a sub-cover 60. The sub-cover 60 engages with the main cover 40. The main cover 40 also engages with a bracket 90 (see Figure 4). To allow the inner mirror 20 and camera 15 to be replaced, the main cover 40 and sub-cover 60 are equipped with a detachable engagement mechanism. Details of the cover 30 and the engagement mechanism will be described later.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1, the rear end of the cover 30 is connected to the front end of the overhead console 14. The overhead console 14 includes a storage case for small items (not shown) and a map lamp (not shown).

[0030] Figure 2 illustrates the superstructure at the front of the passenger compartment. Figure 3 illustrates the AA section of Figure 2. However, for the sake of simplicity, the bracket 90 (Figure 4) is omitted from Figure 3.

[0031] Referring to Figures 2 and the upper part of Figure 3, the rearview mirror 20 is supported by a pivot arm 22. The pivot arm 22 supports the rearview mirror 20 on the windshield 16 via a pivot base 26. The pivot arm 22 pivotably supports the rearview mirror 20.

[0032] The rearview mirror 20 is, for example, an electronic mirror. For example, a mirror camera is positioned on the rear of the vehicle. The image from the mirror camera is displayed on the rearview mirror 20. A wire harness 24 is connected to the rearview mirror 20. Image data from the mirror camera is transmitted to the rearview mirror 20 via the wire harness 24.

[0033] Referring to the upper part of Figure 3, the wire harness 24 is routed along the ceiling of the passenger compartment and connected to the rearview mirror 20. That is, the wire harness 24 is routed in the space formed between the overhead console 14 and sub-cover 60 and the windshield 16.

[0034] The wire harness 24 passes through the gap 14A of the overhead console 14 and the gap 52 of the sub-cover 60. Then, passing through the armhole 32 and beside the pivot arm 22, the wire harness 24 connects to the rearview mirror 20.

[0035] 2. Superstructure of the vehicle interior during a head-on collision Referring to Figure 3, in the event of a head-on collision, the cover 30 may detach due to the swinging of the inner mirror 20. As shown in the middle of Figure 3, during a head-on collision, the inner mirror 20 is swung forward by centrifugal force. As the inner mirror 20 swings forward, the wire harness 24 is pulled forward. This pulling causes the sub-cover 60 to detach from the main cover 40.

[0036] Furthermore, depending on the magnitude of the head-on collision, the pivot arm 22 may detach from the pivot base 26. In this case, the pivot arm 22 and the wire harness 24 collide with the main cover 40. As a result of this collision, the main cover 40 detaches from the bracket 90 (see Figure 4), as illustrated in the lower part of Figure 3.

[0037] To prepare for the detachment of the main cover 40 and sub-cover 60, the upper structure of the passenger compartment according to this embodiment is provided with connecting members. Specifically, the upper structure of the passenger compartment according to this embodiment is provided with a first connecting member 70 (see Figure 7) and a second connecting member 80 (see Figure 5). Details of these connecting members will be described later.

[0038] 3. Bracket Figure 4 illustrates the bracket 90. The bracket 90 is made of a resin material such as ABS. The bracket 90 is installed and fixed to the windshield 16 using adhesive or adhesive tape.

[0039] The camera 15, cover 30 (see Figure 2), and hood 91 are attached to the bracket 90. The camera 15 is supported at the center of the bracket 90 in the vehicle width direction. Claws 94, 94 are erected on the bracket 90. A rib 102 is also erected on the bracket 90 so as to face the claws 94, 94 in the vehicle width direction. Engagement holes 95 are drilled in the rib 102. An engagement projection (not shown) of the camera 15 is fitted into the engagement hole 95. This fitting, along with the claws 94, 94, supports the camera 15 on the bracket 90.

[0040] A hood 91 is positioned in front of the camera 15. The hood 91 is engaged with the bracket 90 by claws or the like (not shown). An opening 101 is drilled in the bracket 90 behind the camera 15. A pivot base 26 (see Figure 3) is positioned in the opening 101. In other words, the pivot base 26 is directly fixed to the windshield 16. That is, the inner mirror 20 is positioned behind the camera 15. Also, a claw 99 is erected on the bracket 90 close to the opening 101. The claw 99 supports the wire harness 24.

[0041] As illustrated in Figure 4, a second engagement hole 93 is formed in the bracket 90. U-shaped ribs 97 and 98 are erected on the bracket 90. The second engagement hole 93 is drilled in the wall of the U-shaped ribs 97 and 98 that faces forward of the vehicle. Guide rails 92 and 92 are formed in front of the ribs 97 and 98. The front of the guide rails 92 and 92 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is open. Details of the guide rails 92 and the second engagement hole 93 will be described later.

[0042] A U-shaped rib 97 and a rib 102 having an engagement hole 95 are connected by a rib 96. An insertion hole 100 is drilled in the rib 96. As will be described later, a stopper 82 of the second connecting member 80 is inserted into the insertion hole 100.

[0043] 4. Main cover Figure 5 illustrates the inner surface of the main cover 40. The inner surface refers to the surface opposite to the outer surface 40A (see Figure 2) of the main cover 40. The main cover 40 is made of a resin material such as ABS resin.

[0044] The main cover 40 has a box shape. Specifically, the main cover 40 comprises a front wall 51A, side walls 51B, 51B, a rear wall 51C, and a bottom wall 51D.

[0045] A ventilation opening is formed at the front end of the main cover 40. Specifically, a front louver 41 is formed on the front wall 51A of the main cover 40. For example, air from inside the vehicle flows into the main cover 40 through the front louver 41.

[0046] Ribs 42 and 44 are formed on the side wall 51B of the main cover 40. Guide arms 43 are formed on the ribs 42. The guide arms 43 are positioned on the inside of the ribs 42 in the vehicle width direction. The guide arms 43 also extend rearward in the vehicle longitudinal direction. For example, the guide arms 43 have an arch shape when viewed from the side.

[0047] A clip 45 (second engaging claw) is positioned on the rib 44. The clip 45 is positioned, for example, on the rib 44. The clip 45 also extends rearward in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0048] As will be described later, the guide arm 43 is inserted into the guide rail 92 of the bracket 90 (see Figure 4). The clip 45 is inserted into the second engagement hole 93 of the bracket 90.

[0049] Furthermore, an insertion hole 46 is drilled in one of the ribs 44, 44. As will be described later, the stopper 81 of the second connecting member 80 is inserted into the insertion hole 46.

[0050] A notch 47 is formed in the rear portion of the main cover 40. An engagement mechanism with the sub-cover 60 is formed around this notch 47. That is, a guide wall 51E is formed in the main cover 40 so as to surround the notch. The guide wall 51E is positioned above (i.e., floating above) the bottom wall 51D. Guide holes 49 and first engagement holes 50 are formed at both ends of the guide wall 51E in the vehicle width direction. Details of these holes will be described later.

[0051] Furthermore, ribs 53 are erected on the guide wall 51E. Insertion holes 54 are drilled in the ribs 53. As will be described later, the stopper 72 of the first connecting member 70 is inserted into the insertion holes 54.

[0052] 5. Subcover Referring to Figures 6 and 7, the sub-cover 60 is attached to the rear end of the main cover 40. More specifically, the sub-cover 60 is fitted into a notch 47 (see Figure 5) in the main cover 40. The sub-cover 60, like the main cover 40, is made of a resin material such as ABS resin.

[0053] The sub-cover 60 comprises a bottom wall 67A and a rear wall 67B. The front portion of the bottom wall 67A is cut out in a U-shape. A hole wall 62 is formed in the bottom wall 67A so as to surround this cutout. Guide pieces 61, 61 are also formed on both sides of the hole wall 62 in the vehicle width direction. The guide piece 61 is an L-shaped member in side view, consisting of a portion that rises from the bottom wall 67A and a portion that extends forward. As will be described later, the guide piece 61 is inserted into the guide hole 49 of the main cover 40 (see Figure 7).

[0054] A rear louver 63 is formed in the bottom wall 67A behind the hole wall 62. The rear louver 63 is a grid-like opening partitioned by vertical frames 63A and horizontal frames 63B. The vertical frames 63A extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The horizontal frames 63B extend in the width direction of the vehicle. Air flowing in from the front louver 41 (see Figure 5) is sent into the passenger compartment through the rear louver 63.

[0055] Clips 64, 64 (first engaging claws) are erected on both sides of the rear louver 63 in the vehicle width direction. As will be described later, the clips 64 are inserted into the first engaging holes 50 of the main cover 40 (see Figure 7).

[0056] Referring to Figure 6, a rib 65 is erected on the bottom wall 67A. For example, the rib 65 is positioned on the lateral frame 63B of the rear louver 63. In other words, the rib 65 faces the front of the vehicle. An insertion hole 66 is drilled in the rib 65. As will be described later, the stopper 71 of the first connecting member 70 is inserted into the insertion hole 66.

[0057] 6. Engagement mechanism between the bracket and the main cover The bracket 90 and the main cover 40 are provided with a detachable engagement mechanism. For example, an engagement claw is formed on one of the bracket 90 and the main cover 40. An engagement hole is formed on the other of the bracket 90 and the main cover 40. For example, referring to Figure 4, a second engagement hole 93 is formed on the bracket 90. Also, referring to Figure 5, a clip 45 (second engagement claw) is provided on the main cover 40.

[0058] By sliding the main cover 40 backward from the front of the bracket 90, the main cover 40 engages with the bracket 90. That is, the guide arms 43, 43 of the main cover 40 are inserted into the guide rails 92, 92 of the bracket 90. At the same time, the clips 45, 45 (second engaging claws) of the main cover 40 are guided by the U-shaped ribs 97, 98.

[0059] In this state, when the main cover 40 is slid backward, the clips 45, 45 (second engaging claws) are inserted into the second engaging holes 93, 93. Furthermore, the guide arms 43, 43 are seated within the guide rails 92, 92. This allows the main cover 40 to be detachably engaged with the bracket 90.

[0060] Because of this engagement mechanism, as illustrated in the lower part of Figure 3, if the main cover 40 is biased forward, there is a risk that the main cover 40 may detach from the bracket 90. Therefore, as will be described later, the main cover 40 and the bracket 90 are connected by a second connecting member 80.

[0061] 7. Engagement mechanism between the main cover and the sub-cover The main cover 40 and the sub-cover 60 are provided with a detachable engagement mechanism. For example, an engagement claw is formed on one of the main cover 40 and the sub-cover 60. An engagement hole is formed on the other of the main cover 40 and the sub-cover 60. For example, referring to Figure 5, a first engagement hole 50 is formed on the main cover 40. Also, referring to Figure 6, a clip 64 (first engagement claw) is provided on the sub-cover 60.

[0062] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the inclined sub-cover 60 approaches the main cover 40 from the rear. First, the guide piece 61 of the sub-cover 60 is inserted into the guide hole 49 of the main cover 40. Further, the rear portion of the sub-cover 60 is pushed up, causing the clip 64 (first engaging claw) of the sub-cover 60 to be inserted into the first engaging hole 50 of the main cover 40.

[0063] As illustrated in Figure 7, the rear wall 48 of the main cover 40 and the hole wall 62 of the sub-cover 60 form an armhole 32. Referring to Figure 2, the pivot arm 22 and wire harness 24 of the inner mirror 20 are inserted into the armhole 32.

[0064] Also, referring to Figure 7, when the sub-cover 60 is engaged with the main cover 40, the rear wall 51C of the main cover 40 and the rear wall 67B of the sub-cover 60 are aligned in a straight line.

[0065] 8. First connecting member Referring to Figures 6 and 7, the main cover 40 and the sub-cover 60 are connected by a first connecting member 70. The first connecting member 70 is a flexible cord member, also called a tether. The first connecting member 70 is made of, for example, a resin material.

[0066] One end of the first connecting member 70 is fixed to the main cover 40. The other end of the first connecting member 70 is fixed to the sub cover 60. For example, a stopper 72 (see Figure 5) is formed on one end of the first connecting member 70. A stopper 71 is also formed on the other end of the first connecting member 70. The stopper 72 is inserted into the insertion hole 54 of the main cover 40. The stopper 71 is inserted into the insertion hole 66 of the sub cover 60.

[0067] Referring to Figures 1 and 6, the interior of the sub-cover 60 can be seen from the front seat 12 through gaps such as the rear louvers 63 of the sub-cover 60. The rib 65, in which the insertion holes 66 are formed, is positioned between the first connecting member 70 and the front seat 12 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The rib 65 also faces the front of the vehicle. In other words, the rib 65 functions as a decorative panel that hides the first connecting member 70 from the occupants.

[0068] The resistance (holding force) of the stoppers 71 and 72 exceeds the engagement force of the clip 64 (first engaging claw). In other words, even when a force is applied to the sub-cover 60 that would cause the clip 64 to disengage from the first engaging hole 50, the sub-cover 60 remains connected to the main cover 40 by the first connecting member 70.

[0069] The first connecting member 70 may be fixed to the main cover 40 and the sub-cover 60 in a manner that prevents detachment. For example, one end of the first connecting member 70 may be welded to any wall of the main cover 40 (e.g., guide wall 51E). Similarly, the other end of the first connecting member 70 may be welded to any wall of the sub-cover 60 (e.g., rear wall 67B).

[0070] Furthermore, the length of the first connecting member 70 is determined based on the workability of the engagement process between the main cover 40 and the sub-cover 60. For example, the length of the first connecting member 70 is determined to exceed the length of the clip 64 (first engaging claw) (up-axis dimension).

[0071] As described above, the first connecting member 70 is flexible. With the first connecting member 70, which has sufficient length for the engagement operation, connected, the main cover 40 and the sub cover 60 move relative to each other, and the sub cover 60 engages with the main cover 40.

[0072] 9. Second connecting member Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the bracket 90 and the main cover 40 are connected by a second connecting member 80. Similar to the first connecting member 70, the second connecting member 80 is a flexible cord member also called a tether. The second connecting member 80 is made of, for example, a resin material.

[0073] One end of the second connecting member 80 is fixed to the bracket 90. The other end of the second connecting member 80 is fixed to the main cover 40. For example, a stopper 82 (see Figure 4) is formed on one end of the second connecting member 80. A stopper 81 (see Figure 5) is formed on the other end of the second connecting member 80. The stopper 82 is inserted into the insertion hole 100 of the bracket 90. The stopper 81 is inserted into the insertion hole 46 of the main cover 40.

[0074] The resistance (holding force) of the stoppers 81 and 82 exceeds the engagement force of the clip 45 (second engaging claw). In other words, even when a force is applied to the main cover 40 that would cause the clip 45 to disengage from the second engaging hole 93, the main cover 40 remains connected to the bracket 90 by the second connecting member 80.

[0075] Furthermore, during maintenance and inspection of the camera 15 and the inner mirror 20 (Figure 2), the stopper 82 may be removed from the insertion hole 100 of the bracket 90 by the worker. In other words, the main cover 40 (and sub-cover 60) is separated from the bracket 90 during maintenance and inspection. This ensures ease of maintenance and inspection.

[0076] The second connecting member 80 may be fixed to the bracket 90 and the main cover 40 in a manner that prevents it from being detached. For example, one end of the second connecting member 80 may be welded to any wall of the bracket 90. Similarly, the other end of the second connecting member 80 may be welded to any wall of the main cover 40 (for example, the bottom wall 51D).

[0077] Furthermore, the length of the second connecting member 80 is determined based on the workability of the engagement process between the bracket 90 and the main cover 40. For example, the length of the second connecting member 80 is determined to exceed the length of the clip 45 (second engaging claw) (FR axial dimension).

[0078] As described above, the second connecting member 80 is flexible. The main cover 40 moves relative to the bracket 90 while connected to the second connecting member 80, which has sufficient length for the engagement operation. The main cover 40 is then engaged with the bracket 90.

[0079] 10. First alternative example of a subcover Figure 8 shows a first alternative example of the sub-cover 60. In this example, the orientation of the ribs 65 is different from that in Figure 6. The other configurations of the sub-cover 60 are the same as in Figure 6.

[0080] Referring to Figure 8, the rib 65 faces in the vehicle width direction. For example, the rib 65 is positioned on the longitudinal frame 63A of the rear louver 63. Insertion holes 66 are drilled in the rib 65. The stopper 71 of the first connecting member 70 (see Figure 6) is inserted into the insertion holes 66.

[0081] Referring to Figure 3, during a frontal collision, the inner mirror 20 and pivot arm 22 swing in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. By positioning the rib 65 in a direction that is longitudinal to this swing direction, the bending of the rib 65 during a frontal collision is suppressed.

[0082] 11. First alternative example of an engagement mechanism In the embodiment described above, the main cover 40 is engaged with the bracket 90, and the sub-cover 60 is engaged with the main cover 40. Alternatively, both the main cover 40 and the sub-cover 60 may be engaged with the bracket 90.

[0083] Referring to Figure 5, for example, the guide hole 49 and the first engagement hole 50 that were formed in the main cover 40 may be formed in the bracket 90.
