[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2012-111413 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The invention of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has room for improvement in terms of facilitating the operation of fixing an on-vehicle component to a location on the vehicle where visibility is poor.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVEHICATION In consideration of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide an on-vehicle component mounting structure and an on-vehicle component mounting method that can easily fix on-vehicle components to locations on a vehicle where visibility is poor. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The mounting structure for an on-vehicle component according to claim 1 comprises: a vehicle component having a fixing surface that is a part of the surface thereof, and a plurality of recesses spaced apart from each other in a predetermined direction; an on-vehicle component having a plurality of protrusions that respectively correspond to the plurality of recesses; and a fixing member that is fixed with one surface of the on-vehicle component at a portion located between the plurality of protrusions, and is fixed in a state in which the other surface of the fixing member is separated from the fixing surface when the plurality of protrusions are in contact with the fixing surface, and the other surface is in contact with the fixing surface when the plurality of protrusions are located in the plurality of recesses, respectively. The vehicle-mounted component is a receiving device capable of receiving a wireless signal from a communication device, the fixing surface is formed on a part of an exterior side surface of the component, and a resin cover member that covers the receiving device from the exterior side of the vehicle is attached to the exterior side surface of the component. .

[0008] In the mounting structure for an on-vehicle component described in claim 1, when the multiple convex portions of the on-vehicle component are in contact with the fixing surface of the component, the fixing member, one surface of which is fixed to the on-vehicle component, separates from the fixing surface. Furthermore, for example, by moving the on-vehicle component relatively to the component in a predetermined direction while maintaining the contact state between the fixing surface and the convex portions, when the multiple convex portions are positioned in the multiple concave portions, respectively, the other surface of the fixing member is fixed to the fixing surface. Therefore, in the mounting structure for an on-vehicle component described in claim 1, even when it is difficult for an operator to visually recognize the fixing surface, the on-vehicle component can be easily fixed to the fixing surface of the component. Furthermore, even when it is difficult for an operator to visually confirm the fixing surface, the receiving device can be easily fixed to the fixing surface of the component member. Furthermore, a resin cover member that covers the receiving device from the outside of the vehicle is attached to the exterior surface of the component. Therefore, the receiving device is prevented from being exposed to the exterior of the vehicle by the cover member. Furthermore, the resin cover member does not interfere with the transmission and reception of wireless signals (radio waves) between the communication device and the receiving device, so the receiving device can receive wireless signals transmitted by the communication device.

[0009] The mounting structure for an on-board component according to the invention recited in claim 2 is the invention recited in claim 1, in which a receiving recess capable of receiving the on-board component is formed on the surface of the component, and the fixing surface and the recess are formed on a bottom surface of the receiving recess.

[0010] In the invention described in claim 2, when the on-vehicle component is fixed to the fixing surface using the fixing member, the amount of protrusion of the on-vehicle component from the surface of the component is smaller than in the case where the receiving recess is not provided, which reduces the risk of the on-vehicle component interfering with other components other than the component of the vehicle.

[0011] The mounting structure for an in-vehicle component according to the invention recited in claim 3 is the inventive structure recited in claim 1 or 2, in which the predetermined direction is a vertical direction.

[0012] In the invention described in claim 3, by sliding the on-vehicle component vertically while contacting the fixing surface with a plurality of convex parts spaced apart in the vertical direction, it becomes possible to insert each convex part into each concave part of the fixing surface. In other words, by sliding the on-vehicle component upward, the on-vehicle component can be easily fixed to a desired position of the component by using the fixing member.

[0017] Claim 4 The mounting structure for an on-vehicle component according to the invention described in Claim 1 or claim 2 In the described invention, the component member is a metallic side sash constituting a part of a vehicle door, and the cover member is a pillar garnish that covers the exterior surface of the side sash.

[0018] Claim 4 In the invention described in the above, a resin pillar garnish that covers the receiving device from the outside of the vehicle is attached to the vehicle exterior surface of the side sash. Therefore, the pillar garnish prevents the receiving device from being exposed to the outside of the vehicle. Furthermore, since the resin pillar garnish does not interfere with the transmission and reception of wireless signals (radio waves) between the communication device and the receiving device, the receiving device can receive the wireless signal transmitted by the communication device.

[0021] Claim 5 The mounting structure for an on-vehicle component according to the invention described in Claims 1 to 4 In the invention described in any one of claims 1 to 5, the fixing surface of the component is a second positioning surface that is located on the vehicle inner side in the vehicle width direction relative to the on-vehicle part.

[0022] Claim 5 In the invention described in the above, the fixing surface of the component is the second positioning surface located on the vehicle width direction inner side of the on-board part. Therefore, the relative movement of the on-board part toward the vehicle width direction inner side with respect to the component is restricted by the second positioning surface.

[0023] Claim 6 The mounting structure for an on-vehicle component according to the invention described in Claims 1 to 5In the invention described in any one of the above, when the other surface is fixed to the fixing surface, tips of the plurality of protrusions are separated from bottom surfaces of the plurality of recesses.

[0024] Claim 6 In the invention described in , when the multiple convex portions of the on-vehicle component are positioned in the multiple concave portions of the component, the other surface of the fixing member is likely to come into contact with the fixing surface of the component. Claim 6 In the mounting structure for an on-vehicle component described above, even when it is difficult for an operator to visually confirm the fixing surface, the on-vehicle component can be reliably fixed to the fixing surface of the component.

[0025] Claim 7 The mounting method of an on-vehicle part according to the described invention includes contacting a plurality of convex portions provided on the on-vehicle part with a fixing surface which is a part of the surface of a component of a vehicle and on which a plurality of concave portions are formed spaced apart in a predetermined direction, moving one surface of a fixing member, one surface of which is fixed to a portion of the on-vehicle part located between the plurality of convex portions, away from the fixing surface, and moving the on-vehicle part relatively in the predetermined direction with respect to the component while maintaining the contact state between the fixing surface and the convex portions, thereby positioning the plurality of convex portions in the plurality of concave portions, respectively, thereby fixing the other surface of the fixing member in a state of contact with the fixing surface. The vehicle-mounted component is a receiving device capable of receiving a wireless signal from a communication device, the fixing surface is formed on a part of an exterior side surface of the component, and a resin cover member that covers the receiving device from the exterior side of the vehicle is attached to the exterior side surface of the component. . Effect of the Invention

[0026] As described above, the on-vehicle component mounting structure and on-vehicle component mounting method according to the present invention have the excellent effect of allowing an on-vehicle component to be easily fixed to a location on a vehicle where visibility is poor.

[0028] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the mounting structure and the mounting method for an on-vehicle component according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the arrow UP in each drawing indicates the upper side in the vertical direction of the vehicle, the arrow FR indicates the front side in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the arrow LH indicates the left side in the lateral direction of the vehicle (vehicle width direction). In the following description, the vertical direction, the longitudinal direction, and the lateral direction refer to the vertical direction of the vehicle, the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the lateral direction of the vehicle, respectively.

[0029] A rear door 10 shown in Fig. 1 is provided in an opening formed on the right side of the vehicle of this embodiment. The rear door 10 includes a metal door outer panel 12 that constitutes the lower half of the exterior surface of the rear door 10, and a door frame 16 that constitutes the upper half of the rear door 10. A window hole 10A is formed between the door outer panel 12 and the door frame 16. The rear door 10 includes a sliding window 14 that is vertically slidable. The sliding window 14 is slidable between a fully closed position (position in Fig. 1) in which the window hole 10A is completely blocked, and a fully open position (not shown) in which the window hole 10A is open.

[0030] The front end of the door frame 16 extending in a substantially vertical direction is constituted by a B-pillar 18. As shown in FIG. 2, the B-pillar 18 has a metal side sash (constituent member) 20 extending in a substantially vertical direction. The lower end of the vehicle exterior side surface 22 of the side sash 20 is welded to the upper part of the vehicle interior side surface of the door outer panel 12. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, a receiving recess 24 extending along the extension direction of the side sash 20 is formed at the rear edge of the lower end of the vehicle exterior side surface 22. The rear edge of the receiving recess 24 is open. Furthermore, although not shown, the lower edge of the receiving recess 24 is open at the lower end of the side sash 20. Meanwhile, the upper end and the front edge of the receiving recess 24 are closed by a wall portion 25 connected to the vehicle exterior side surface 22. The bottom surface of the receiving recess 24 is constituted by a fixing surface (second positioning surface) 26 that is substantially parallel to the vehicle exterior side surface 22. A recess 28 and a recess 30 are formed at two places above and below the fixing surface 26, respectively. As shown in Figs. 7 to 9, the bottom surfaces 28A, 30A of the recess 28 and the recess 30 are planes substantially parallel to the fixing surface 26. Furthermore, the recess 28 and the recess 30 have inclined surfaces 28B, 30B connecting the upper ends of the bottom surfaces 28A, 30A to the fixing surface 26. As shown in Fig. 2, the longitudinal dimension (vertical dimension) of the receiving recess 24 is H1, the width dimension (front-rear dimension) of the receiving recess 24 is Wd1, and the depth (left-right dimension) of the receiving recess 24 is Dp1. As shown in Fig. 7, the depth of the recesses 28, 30 is Pr1. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 9, the distance in the longitudinal direction of the side sash 20 between the center of the bottom surface 28A of the recess 28 and the center of the bottom surface 30A of the recess 30 is LS1. As will be described later, a resin pillar garnish (cover member) 44 can be detachably attached to the vehicle exterior side surface 22 of the side sash 20.

[0031] A metal glass run holding member (component) 36 extending in a substantially vertical direction is located immediately behind the side sash 20. The cross section of the glass run holding member 36 cut along a horizontal plane is substantially U-shaped. That is, the glass run holding member 36 has a front wall (first positioning surface) 38 constituting its front surface, an outer wall 40 whose front end is connected to the outer end (right edge) of the front wall 38, and an inner wall (not shown) whose front end is connected to the inner end (left edge) of the front wall 38. A glass run (not shown) made of an elastic body is provided in the space surrounded by the front wall 38, the outer wall 40, and the inner wall. The front edge of the sliding window 14 is slidably supported by the glass run. As shown in FIG. 2, the rear end surface of the side sash 20 contacts the front surface of the front wall 38 of the glass run holding member 36, and the rear end surface of the side sash 20 is welded to the front surface of the front wall 38. The lower end of the glass run holding member 36 is welded to the upper portion of the inner surface of the door outer panel 12 .

[0032] 1, a door lock device 48 having an electric actuator, a circuit board, and a connector is provided on the rear door 10. As is well known, the door lock device 48 can be switched between a latched state in which it grips a striker fixed to the vehicle body, and an unlatched state in which it releases the striker.

[0033] The receiving device (vehicle-mounted component) 50 shown in FIG. 3 includes a resin-made hollow case 52. The case 52 has a body 54 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and a connecting portion 56 constituting the lower end of the case 52. The width dimension (front-rear dimension) and thickness (left-right dimension) of the connecting portion 56 are smaller than those of the body 54. A pair of upper and lower protrusions 58 and 60 are provided on the left side surface (inner side surface) of the case 52. The protrusions 58 and 60 have the same shape. The tip surface 59 of the protrusion 58 and the tip surface 61 of the protrusion 60 are flat surfaces parallel to each other. As shown in FIG. 7, the length (protrusion amount) of the protrusions 58 and 60 is Pr2. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, the distance in the longitudinal direction of the side sash 20 between the center of the protrusion 58 and the center of the protrusion 60 is LS2. This distance LS2 is equal to the distance LS1 between the center of the bottom surface 28A of the recess 28 and the center of the bottom surface 30A of the recess 30 in the longitudinal direction of the side sash 20.

[0034] Furthermore, the shape (outer shape) of the convex portions 58, 60 when viewed in the vehicle width direction is smaller than the shape (outer shape) of the concave portions 28, 30 when viewed in the vehicle width direction. Furthermore, a pair of upper and lower side protrusions 62, 64 are provided on the front and rear surfaces of the main body portion 54. The side protrusions 62 and 64 have the same shape. A tip surface 63 of the side protrusion 62 and a tip surface 65 of the side protrusion 64 are flat surfaces.

[0035] A double-sided tape (fixing member) 68 is fixed to the left side surface of the case 52 between the protrusions 58 and 60. One adhesive surface (not shown) in the thickness direction of the double-sided tape 68 is attached to the left side surface of the case 52. An adhesive surface 69 is provided on the other surface (left side surface) in the thickness direction of the double-sided tape 68. As shown in FIG. 7, the length Pr2 of the protrusions 58 and 60 is greater than the thickness Th of the double-sided tape 68. As shown in FIG. 3, the distance between the right side surface of the case 52 and the tip surfaces 59 and 61 of the protrusions 58 and 60 is Dp2, the longitudinal dimension (vertical dimension) of the case 52 is H2, and the distance (front-rear dimension) between the tip surfaces 63 and 65 of the front side projections 62 and 64 and the tip surfaces 63 and 65 of the rear side projections 62 and 64 is Wd2. Furthermore, Dp1>Dp2, H1>H2, and Wd1>Wd2.

[0036] As shown in Fig. 4, an antenna device 72 and an antenna control device 74 are provided inside the case 52. The antenna device 72 and the antenna control device 74 are electrically connected to each other. Furthermore, a metal terminal is provided inside the connection part 56. This terminal is electrically connected to the antenna control device 74.

[0037] One end of a connector-equipped cable 80 shown in Fig. 4 is connected to the connection part 56. The connector-equipped cable 80 has a flexible electric cable 82, a connector 84 provided at one end of the electric cable 82, and a connector 86 provided at the other end of the electric cable 82. A metal terminal is provided inside the connector 84, and this terminal is connected to an electric wire provided inside the electric cable 82. When the connector 84 is connected to the connection part 56 of the receiving device 50, the terminal of the connection part 56 and the terminal of the connector 84 come into contact with each other.

[0038] (Action and Effects) Next, the operation and effects of this embodiment will be described.

[0039] Next, a method for fixing the receiving device 50 integrated with the connector-equipped cable 80 to the fixing surface 26 of the receiving recess 24 of the side sash 20 will be described. The operation of fixing the receiving device 50 to the fixing surface 26 is performed before attaching the pillar garnish 44 to the side sash 20.

[0040] First, as shown in Fig. 5, the surface of the receiving device 50 on the side of the double-sided tape 68 is brought close from the outside of the vehicle to the vehicle exterior side surface 22 of the side sash 20 with the vehicle exterior side surface 22 exposed. At this time, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the protrusion 58 is brought into contact with a portion PS1 (see Fig. 2) above the receiving recess 24 of the vehicle exterior side surface 22, and the protrusion 60 is brought into contact with a portion PS2 (see Fig. 2) between the recess 28 and the recess 30 of the fixing surface 26 of the receiving recess 24. When the receiving device 50 is viewed in the front-rear direction at this time, the receiving device 50 (double-sided tape 68) is inclined with respect to the vehicle exterior side surface 22 and the fixing surface 26 of the side sash 20 as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. At this time, the adhesive surface 69 of the double-sided tape 68 is separated from the vehicle exterior side surface 22 of the side sash 20 and the inner surface of the receiving recess 24 as shown in Fig. 6.

[0041] 5, the tip surface 65 of the lower side protrusion 64 provided on the rear surface of the case 52 is brought into contact with the front surface of the front wall 38 of the glass run holding member 36. Furthermore, the connector 86 and the electric cable 82 of the connector-attached cable 80 are moved downward from the lower edge of the side sash 20 through the lower edge (opening) of the receiving recess 24.

[0042] Next, while maintaining the contact state between the tip end surface 65 of the side projection 64 and the front wall 38, the receiving device 50 is moved downward relative to the side sash 20. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the entire receiving device 50 is positioned within the receiving recess 24 of the side sash 20. Furthermore, although not shown in the figure, the tip end surface 63 of the upper side projection 62 provided on the rear surface of the case 52 comes into contact with the front surface of the front wall 38 of the glass run holding member 36. Furthermore, at this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the tip end surface 59 of the upper projection 58 of the receiving device 50 comes into contact with the upper portion PS3 (see FIG. 2) of the recess 28 of the fixing surface 26 of the receiving recess 24. Furthermore, although not shown in the figure, the tip end surface 61 of the lower projection 60 of the receiving device 50 comes into contact with the upper portion PS4 (see FIG. 2) of the recess 30 of the fixing surface 26 of the receiving recess 24. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the receiving device 50 is viewed in the front-rear direction, the double-sided tape 68 and the fixing surface 26 are spaced apart from each other and are substantially parallel to each other.

[0043] Next, while maintaining the contact state between the tip surface 63 of the side projection 62 and the tip surface 65 of the side projection 64 and the front wall 38, the receiving device 50 is further moved downward relative to the side sash 20. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the convex portion 58 and the convex portion 60 of the receiving device 50 enter the upper and lower concave portions 28 and 30 of the receiving concave portion 24, respectively. More specifically, the upper end portion of the convex portion 58 contacts the upper end portion 28C of the inclined surface 28B of the concave portion 28, and the upper end portion of the convex portion 60 contacts the upper end portion 30C of the inclined surface 30B of the concave portion 30. In this case as well, when the receiving device 50 is viewed in the front-rear direction, the double-sided tape 68 and the fixing surface 26 are separated from each other and are approximately parallel to each other, as shown in FIG. 8.

[0044] Next, while maintaining the contact state between the tip surface 63 of the side projection 62 and the tip surface 65 of the side projection 64 and the front wall 38, the receiver 50 is further moved downward relative to the side sash 20. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the upper end of the convex portion 58 contacts the central portion 28D of the inclined surface 28B of the recessed portion 28, and the upper end of the convex portion 60 contacts the central portion 30D of the inclined surface 30B of the recessed portion 30. In other words, the tip surface 59 of the convex portion 58 moves away from the bottom surface 28A of the recessed portion 28, and the tip surface 61 of the convex portion 60 moves away from the bottom surface 30A of the recessed portion 30. In this case, when the receiver 50 is viewed in the front-rear direction, the adhesive surface 69 of the double-sided tape 68 comes into contact with the fixing surface 26 as shown in FIG. 9. Therefore, the receiver 50 is fixed to the side sash 20 by the double-sided tape 68 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 5 and FIG. 10. At this time, the tip surface 63 of the side projection 62 and the tip surface 65 of the side projection 64 are in contact with the front wall 38. Furthermore, at this time, the lower end of the receiving device 50 faces the interior side surface of the upper edge portion 12A of the door outer panel 12 in the vehicle width direction.

[0045] When the receiving device 50 is located in the receiving recess 24 and the adhesive surface 69 is not in contact with the fixing surface 26, the receiving device 50 may swing in the receiving recess 24 in the direction of arrow A around the contact points between the protrusions 58 and 60 and the fixing surface 26 as shown in Fig. 10. In this case, a part of the inner surface of the receiving recess 24 (including the fixing surface 26) may come into contact with the front end or rear end of the interior side surface of the case 52. However, even in this case, the adhesive surface 69 of the double-sided tape 68 does not come into contact with the inner surface of the receiving recess 24. In other words, the shapes of the side sash 20 and the receiving device 50 are set so that the adhesive surface 69 of the double-sided tape 68 does not come into contact with the inner surface of the receiving recess 24 even when such swinging occurs.

[0046] Furthermore, the depth Dp1 of the receiving recess 24 is greater than the distance Dp2 between the right side surface of the case 52 and the tip surfaces 59, 61 of the protrusions 58, 60. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 9, at this time, the vehicle exterior side surface (right side surface) of the case 52 is located on the vehicle interior side (left side) of the vehicle exterior side surface 22 of the side sash 20. In other words, the vehicle exterior side surface (right side surface) of the case 52 does not protrude from the vehicle exterior side surface 22 of the side sash 20 to the vehicle exterior side.

[0047] Once the receiver 50 has been fixed to the side sash 20 with the double-sided tape 68 in this manner, a belt molding (not shown) is attached to the upper edge 12A of the door outer panel 12. A weather strip is provided on this belt molding. After this, the pillar garnish 44 is attached to the side sash 20. Furthermore, the connector 86 of the cable with connector 80 is connected to the connector portion of the door lock device 48.

[0048] As described above, in this embodiment, when the pair of protrusions 58, 60 provided on the receiving device 50 are in contact with the vehicle exterior side surface 22 or the fixing surface 26 of the side sash 20, the adhesive surface 69 of the double-sided tape 68 is separated from the vehicle exterior side surface 22 and the fixing surface 26. Furthermore, by moving the receiving device 50 relatively downward (in a predetermined direction) with respect to the side sash 20 while maintaining the contact state between the protrusions 58, 60 and the vehicle exterior side surface 22 or the fixing surface 26, when the pair of protrusions 58, 60 are positioned in the pair of recesses 28, 30, respectively, the adhesive surface 69 of the double-sided tape 68 is fixed to the fixing surface 26. In this embodiment, when the receiving device 50 is fixed to the fixing surface 26, the receiving device 50 is positioned on the vehicle exterior side of the fixing surface 26. That is, when the receiving device 50 is fixed to the fixing surface 26, it is not easy for the worker to visually confirm the fixing surface 26. However, according to the mounting structure for an on-vehicle component of this embodiment, a worker can easily fix the receiving device 50 to the fixing surface 26 of the side sash 20.

[0049] Furthermore, when the receiving device 50 is fixed to the side sash 20 with the double-sided tape 68, the rearward movement of the receiving device 50 relative to the side sash 20 is restricted by the side protrusions 62 and 64 of the receiving device 50 and the front wall 38 of the glass run holding member 36.

[0050] Furthermore, when the receiving device 50 is fixed to the side sash 20 with the double-sided tape 68 , the movement of the receiving device 50 toward the inside of the vehicle relative to the side sash 20 is restricted by the double-sided tape 68 and the fixing surface 26 of the side sash 20 .

[0051] In this manner, the receiving device 50 is fixed to the side sash 20 with the double-sided tape 68 in a state in which the movement of the receiving device 50 relative to the side sash 20 toward the rear and inside of the vehicle is restricted. Therefore, there is little risk that the receiving device 50 will move relative to the side sash 20 while the vehicle is traveling.

[0052] Furthermore, when the receiving device 50 is fixed to the side sash 20, the receiving device 50 is located inside the receiving recess 24. In other words, the receiving device 50 does not protrude from the outer surface 22 of the side sash 20 to the outside of the vehicle. Therefore, the receiving device 50 does not interfere with surrounding members (for example, the weather strip of the belt molding).

[0053] Furthermore, a resin pillar garnish 44 that covers the receiving device 50 from the outside of the vehicle is attached to the vehicle exterior surface of the side sash 20. Therefore, the pillar garnish 44 prevents the receiving device 50 from being exposed to the outside of the vehicle. Furthermore, the resin pillar garnish 44 does not interfere with the transmission and reception of wireless signals (radio waves) between an external communication device (e.g., a smart key) and the antenna device 72 of the receiving device 50, so that the antenna device 72 can receive wireless signals transmitted by the communication device. Therefore, when the antenna device 72 receives a wireless signal transmitted by the smart key, an unlocking signal generated by the antenna control device 74 is transmitted to the door lock device 48 via the connector-equipped cable 80. This causes the electric actuator of the door lock device 48 to operate, and the door lock device 48 is switched from the latched state to the unlatched state.

[0054] Although the mounting structure for an on-vehicle component according to the embodiment has been described above, the design of the mounting structure for an on-vehicle component can be appropriately modified without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0055] For example, the on-vehicle part fixed to a vehicle component by the double-sided tape 68 is not limited to the receiving device 50. For example, the on-vehicle part may be a film-type display or a flexible printed circuit board.

[0056] Furthermore, the component of the vehicle to which the on-vehicle parts are fixed by the double-sided tape 68 is not limited to the side sash 20. For example, the component may be a side sash of an A-pillar or a C-pillar of the vehicle. Furthermore, the component may be a bonnet, a back door, or an instrument panel of the vehicle.

[0057] For example, a receiving recess may be provided in the front edge of the outer surface of the rear sash of the front door, and the rear surface of the glass run may be brought into contact with this front edge. In this case, the rear surface of the glass run becomes the "first positioning surface" that comes into contact with the front portion of the on-vehicle component fixed to this receiving recess.

[0058] Regardless of the type of component, the on-vehicle part may be fixed to the bottom surface (fixing surface) of the receiving recess formed on the surface (exterior surface) of the component with double-sided tape 68, and the exterior surface of the component may be covered with a resin part. In this way, if the on-vehicle part provided in the receiving recess is equipped with an antenna device, the antenna device can wirelessly communicate with an external communication device.

[0059] The number of protrusions provided on the in-vehicle component and the number of recesses provided on the component member may be three or more.

[0060] The fixing member may be a plate-shaped cushion material with double-sided tape provided on both sides thereof.

[0061] The plurality of protrusions provided on the on-vehicle component and the plurality of recesses provided on the component member may be aligned in a direction different from the up-down direction. [Explanation of symbols]
