Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a box of a cover member having an openable and closable lid that is attached to the body of a vehicle such as an automobile to cover a fuel filler port, a charging port, etc. of the vehicle body. [Background technology]

[0002] When refueling or filling an automobile fuel tank with fuel such as gasoline or hydrogen, the fuel filler cap or filler lid that covers the fuel filler or filler port on the vehicle body is opened, the fuel cap is removed, and fuel is added through the filler port, or a filler plug is inserted into the filler port to fill hydrogen. Furthermore, when charging an electric vehicle or PHV (plug-in hybrid vehicle), the charging lid is opened and a charging connector is inserted into the cap of the quick charge port or normal charge port to charge.

[0003] For example, when filling a fuel tank for an automobile, as shown in Figure 1, a lid (fuel filler lid) 110 that covers a fuel filler opening 101 provided on a vehicle body 201 is opened, and fuel is filled through the fuel filler opening 101. A lid mounting member 200 is attached to the back surface of the lid 110, and the lid mounting member 200 is attached to a box (fuel filler box) 300. The lid 110 is then attached to the lid mounting member 200.

[0004] As shown in Figure 9, the lid member 100 is composed of a lid 110, a box (fuel filler box) 300, a lid mounting member 200 that is attached to the arm portion storage portion 370 of the box 300 and that mounts the lid 110, and a spring 400 that engages with the arm portion 230 of the lid mounting member 200 and the arm portion storage portion 370.

[0005] The lid mounting member 200 has a greatly curved arm portion 230 that enables the lid 110 to be opened and closed, and a spring mounting portion 240 is formed at the tip of the arm portion 230 of the lid mounting member 200.

[0006] Box 300 has an opening 340 and a box main body 310 that is attached to the vehicle body, and an arm storage section 370 that stores arm section 230 of lid mounting member 200 in a rotatable manner, and arm storage section 370 is formed with an inclined section 380 in its longitudinal direction that expands the space of arm storage section 370 toward the inside of the vehicle, a step section 390 that connects to inclined section 380, and a bottom section 540 that connects step section 390 to box main body 310.

[0007] The spring 400 is roughly V-shaped and has an arm portion side mounting portion 410 that is attached to the spring mounting portion 240 of the arm portion 230, a box side engaging portion 420 that engages with the arm portion storage portion 370 of the box 300, and a spring main body portion 430 that is located between the arm portion side mounting portion 410 and the box side engaging portion 420.

[0008] The method disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known as a method for attaching the arm portion 230 of the lid attachment member 200 to the arm portion storage portion 370 of the box 300. The method disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes the following steps. a. fixing the box 300 to a jig in a vertical position with the arm storage section 370 facing downwards; b. Attaching the arm portion side attachment portion 410 of the spring 400 to the spring attachment portion 240 of the arm portion 230; c. A step of inserting the engagement pin 260 of the arm portion 230 to which the spring 400 is attached into the arm portion storage portion 370 of the box 300 and moving it within the arm portion storage portion 370; d. Fixing the engagement pin 260 of the arm portion 230 to the arm portion engagement portion 560 of the box 300.

[0009] Also, in the above c, "the step of inserting the engagement pin 260 of the arm portion 230 to which the spring 400 is attached into the arm portion storage portion 370 of the box 300 and moving it within the arm portion storage portion 370," c1. A step in which the box side engagement portion 420 of the spring 400 abuts against the inner surface of the inclined portion 380 of the arm portion storage portion 370 of the box 300; c2. The box-side engaging portion 420 moves along the inner surface of the inclined portion 380 toward the step portion 390; c3. The box-side engaging portion 420 comes into contact with the spring engaging portion 360, which is the connecting portion between the inclined portion 380 and the stepped portion 390 of the arm portion housing portion 370, and has a step that remains in that position.

[0010] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-214329 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] Incidentally, the shape of the above-mentioned lid member 100 differs depending on the vehicle model, and the depth of the arm section storage section 370 of the box 300, the angle α' between the inclined section 380 and a line Y perpendicular to the line X extending from the upper end section 310a on the vehicle exterior side of the box main body 310 shown in Fig. 9, and the angle β' between the stepped section 390 and the line Y vary and are not standardized. Therefore, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, in step a, in which the box 300 is fixed to a jig in a substantially vertical position with the arm section storage section 370 facing downwards, it is necessary to manufacture a jig that matches the angles α' and β' for each vehicle model in order to firmly fix the arm section storage section 370.

[0012] Furthermore, after the box-side engagement portion 420 of the spring 400 comes into contact with the spring engagement portion 360, which is the connection portion between the inclined portion 380 and the stepped portion 390 of the arm portion storage portion 370 (step c3), in order to "fix the engagement pin 260 of the arm portion 210 to the arm portion engagement portion 560 of the box 300" (step d), it is necessary to move the arm portion 230 in the E direction as shown in FIG. 10. However, since the E direction is not parallel to the line X perpendicular to the line extending from the upper end portion 310a of the box main body portion 310 on the vehicle exterior side, a complex mounting jig is required to move the arm portion 230 within the arm portion storage portion 370 while taking into account its positional relationship with the spring 400.

[0013] Therefore, it is conceivable to attach the lid attachment member 200 to the box 300 by fixing the lid attachment member 200 so that direction E is vertical, placing the box 300 at an angle, and moving the arm section storage section 370 up and down, but in this case, it is not easy to fix the arm section storage section 370 of the box 300 so that it can move up and down. Therefore, the present invention provides a box for a lid member that allows the lid attachment member 200 to be easily assembled to the arm section storage section 370 of the box 300.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. The following embodiment will describe an attachment structure for a lid member 10 that covers a fuel filler opening 1 of a vehicle body 2 and has an openable and closable lid 11 (fuel filler opening lid), but it can also be used when filling hydrogen by inserting a filling plug into a filling port or when charging an electric vehicle or a PHV (plug-in hybrid vehicle).

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, the lid 11 is formed to fit the shape of the fuel filler opening 1 in order to close the fuel filler opening 1 of the vehicle body 2. When filling a fuel tank for an automobile, the lid 11 that closes the fuel filler opening 1 provided on the vehicle body 2 is opened and fuel is filled through the fuel filler opening 1. A lid mounting member 20 is attached to the back surface of the lid 11, and the lid mounting member 20 is attached to a box 30. In this first embodiment, the lid member 10 is configured to include the lid 11, the lid mounting member 20, a box 300, and a spring 40 (Figures 2 and 3).

[0022] 2, the lid mounting member 20 has a lid mounting portion 21 that is attached to the lid 11, and a greatly curved, arc-shaped arm portion 23 that enables the lid 11 to be opened and closed. The lid mounting portion 21 also has a lid lock portion 22 that engages with a lock pin 32 of the box 30, which will be described later. The lid 11 and the lid mounting member 20 may be formed integrally.

[0023] The box 30 attached to the vehicle body 2 has a box main body 31 with an opening 34 at the fuel filler opening 1, and an arm storage section 37 that stores the arm 23 of the lid mounting member 20. In order to ensure space for opening and closing the arm 23 within the box 30, the arm storage section 37 is formed to be recessed further inward (to the left in Figures 2 and 3) than the box holding section 3 that holds the box main body 31 to the vehicle body 2. Therefore, the center of rotation of the arm 23 engages with the arm storage section 37 at a portion of the arm storage section 37 that is laterally deeper than the lid 11.

[0024] A lock pin 32 is formed on the box body 31 on the side opposite the arm storage section 37 of the box 30, and when the lid 11 is closed, the lock pin 32 engages with the lid lock section 22 of the lid mounting member 20 to lock the lid 11. When the lid 11 is opened, the lock pin 32 of the box 30 retracts and disengages from the lid lock section 22 of the lid mounting section 21.

[0025] As shown in Figure 3, a sealing member 33 is attached around the upper end 31a of the box main body 31 or is formed integrally with the upper end 31a, and when the box main body 31 is attached to the box holding portion 3 of the vehicle body 2, it seals the gap between the box holding portion 3 of the vehicle body 2 and the upper end 31a of the box main body 31.

[0026] A cylindrical recess 27 is formed in the side surface 23a of the tip portion of the arm portion 23 of the lid mounting member 20. Also, as shown in Figure 4, a cap attachment portion 35 is formed in the side surface 37a of the arm portion storage portion 37 at a position that matches the recess 27 of the arm portion 23. The cap attachment portion 35 protrudes in the shape of a cylinder with a circular inner cross section and has an opening at the top. Then, by attaching a cap 60 having a body that is inserted into the recess 27 of the arm portion 23 to the cap attachment portion 35, the arm portion 23 of the lid mounting member 20 is rotatably attached to the arm portion storage portion 37.

[0027] The spring 40 is manufactured by bending a single metal wire into a generally V-shape, and has a box-side engagement portion 42 that is held by the spring engagement portion 36 of the box 30, an arm-side attachment portion 41 that is attached to the spring attachment portion 24 of the arm portion 23 of the lid attachment member 20, and a spring main body 43 that connects the box-side engagement portion 42 and the arm-side attachment portion 41. The box-side engagement portion 42, the arm-side attachment portion 41, and the spring main body 43 are formed as a single plane. A protrusion 44 for popping up is also formed and connected to the arm-side attachment portion 41.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 4, in the longitudinal direction of the arm portion storage section 37 of the box 30, at the end of the arm portion storage section opposite the box main body section, there are formed an inclined section 38 that widens the space of the arm portion storage section 37 toward the interior of the vehicle, a step section 39 connected to the inclined section 38, and a bottom surface section 54 that connects the step section 39 to the box main body section 31. The inclined section 38 is located on the exterior side of the vehicle with respect to the step section 39. In addition, a spring engaging section 36 that engages with the box side engaging section 42 of the spring 40 on the inner surface is formed between the inclined section 38 and the step section 39 connected to the inclined section 38.

[0029] An inclined portion-side protrusion 50 is formed on the outer surface of the inclined portion 38, and a stepped portion-side protrusion 51 is formed on the outer surface of the stepped portion 39. In Fig. 4, the inclined portion-side protrusion 50 is three triangular prism-shaped ribs having rectangular inclined portion-side protrusion surfaces 52, and the stepped portion-side protrusion 51 is also three triangular prism-shaped ribs having rectangular stepped portion-side protrusion surfaces 53.

[0030] As described above, the angle α' between the inclined portion 38 and the line Y perpendicular to the line X extending from the outer-side upper end of the box main body 31, and the angle β' between the stepped portion 39 and the line Y, differ for each vehicle model, so by forming the inclined portion-side protrusion 50 and the stepped portion-side protrusion 51, it is possible to make the angle α on the inclined portion side and the angle β on the stepped portion side with respect to the line X common to all vehicle models. As a result, it is no longer necessary to prepare different jigs for fixing the arm storage portion (box) for each vehicle model, which makes it possible to improve the efficiency of the assembly process and reduce costs by reducing the number of jigs required.

[0031] In the first embodiment, the inclined portion-side protrusion 50 and the stepped portion-side protrusion 51 are both formed as three triangular prism-shaped ribs, but the number of ribs is not limited to three. The shape may also be formed as a single block, i.e., a triangular prism-shaped block.

[0032] In addition, in the first embodiment described above, both the inclined portion side protrusion 50 and the step portion side protrusion 51 are formed, but it is also possible to form either the inclined portion side protrusion 50 or the step portion side protrusion 51.

[0033] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 5 to Fig. 8. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of an arm section storage section 370 as seen from direction C in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 differs from Fig. 4, which shows the first embodiment, in that in this second embodiment, a protrusion 55 that protrudes higher than the protrusion 50 on the protruding portion side of the inclined portion 38 is formed at the end opposite to the step portion 39.

[0034] The setting of the arm section storage section 37 into the jig 70 and the attachment of the arm section 23 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 8. In this attachment method, the box 30 is tilted so that direction E in Figure 10 is vertical, and the arm section storage section 37 is moved up and down to attach the arm section 23 of the lid attachment member 20 to the box 30. Note that in Figures 6 and 7, the arm section 23 of the lid attachment member 20 is not depicted in order to explain the positional relationship between the jig 70 and the arm section storage section 37.

[0035] 6 is a cross-sectional view of the arm section storage section 37 of the box 30 placed on a jig 70. The jig 70 for fixing the arm section storage section 37 is composed of a first jig 71 having a bottom surface abutment surface 72 against which the bottom surface 54 of the arm section storage section 37 abuts, and a second jig 73 having a step-side abutment portion 74 against which the step-side protruding surface 53 of the step-side protruding portion 51 of the step section 39 abuts, and a slope-side abutment portion 75 against which the slope-side protruding surface 52 of the slope-side protruding portion 50 of the slope section 38 abuts. The second jig 73 also has a jig recess 76 formed at the position of the protrusion 55 of the arm section storage section 37, the jig recess 76 having a length longer in the lateral direction in cross section than the protrusion 55 and abutting against the protrusion 55.

[0036] As shown in Figure 6 (Figures 2 and 3), the arm storage section 37 is curved, so when the bottom surface 54 of the arm storage section 37 is placed on the bottom surface abutment surface 72, it tends to tilt to the left in Figure 6, that is, the step 39 tends to be placed slightly to the left of directly below the step-side abutment section 74. This also makes it easier to place.

[0037] After placing the arm portion storage portion 37 of the box 30 on the jig 70, the arm portion 23 of the lid mounting member 20 attached to a third jig (not shown) is set in the arm portion storage portion 37.

[0038] When jig 70 is moved downward (in the direction of the solid arrow) from the position in Figure 6, corner 55a of protrusion 55 abuts jig recess 76 of second jig 73, and by further moving jig 70 downward, corner 55a of protrusion 55 is pushed downward and arm portion storage section 37 rotates in the direction of the diagonal arrow.

[0039] Then, just before the inclined portion side protrusion 50 of the arm portion storage portion 37 and the inclined portion side abutment portion 75 of the second jig 73 abut, the arm portion storage portion 37 is set to the correct position, so that the inclined portion side protrusion 50 of the arm portion storage portion 37 and the inclined portion side abutment portion 75 of the second jig 73, and the step portion side protrusion 51 of the arm portion storage portion 37 and the step portion side abutment portion 74 of the second jig 73 abut correctly, as shown in Figure 7.

[0040] Figure 8 is a diagram showing the jig 70 and arm section storage section 37 properly set (Figure 7), with the arm section 23 of the lid mounting member 20 added. Note that the spring 40 is previously oriented diagonally upward by a third jig (not shown). As shown in Figure 8, when the arm section storage section 37 is properly set in the jig 70, the recess 27 of the arm section 23 is located directly below the cap attachment section 35 of the arm section storage section 37.

[0041] Then, when the jig 70 is moved further downward (diagonal arrow), the box side engagement portion 42 of the spring 40 abuts against the inner surface of the inclined portion 38 and moves toward the spring engagement portion 36 of the arm portion storage portion 37, and is stopped at the spring engagement portion 36 by the step portion 39.

[0042] Thereafter, the jig 70 stops descending when it reaches a position where the recess 27 of the arm portion 23 and the cap attachment portion 35 of the arm portion storage portion 37 are aligned. Then, by attaching a cap 60, which has a body that is inserted into the recess 26 of the arm portion 23, to the cap attachment portion 35, the arm portion 23 of the lid mounting member 20 is fixed to the arm portion storage portion 37.

[0043] Therefore, even if the arm section storage section 37 is set slightly out of alignment with the jig 70, particularly the first jig 71, the arm section storage section 37 can be rotated to the correct position by the protrusion 55 of the arm section storage section 37 and the jig recess 76 of the second jig 73, and after the arm section storage section 37 is set in the jig 70, the arm section 23 of the lid mounting section 21 can be easily attached to the arm section storage section 37 by moving the jig 70 downward.

[0044] In the second embodiment described above, the protrusion 55 is formed on the inclined portion 38, and the jig recess 76 is formed on the inclined portion side abutment portion 75, but the protrusion 55 may be formed on the step portion 39, and the jig recess 76 may be formed on the step portion side abutment portion 74.

[0045] Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the protrusions 55 are formed on the inclined portions 38, but they may be formed on the inclined portion-side protrusions 50 or the stepped portion-side protrusions 51.

[0046] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the object of the present invention.

[0047] For example, in the first embodiment described above, the method of attaching the arm portion 23 of the lid mounting member 20 to the arm portion storage section 37 was not described, but the attachment method of the second embodiment described above may be used, or the assembly method of Patent Document 1 may be used.

[0048] For example, in the first and second embodiments described above, a spring 40 is used, but instead of using a spring 40, the arm portion 23 of the lid mounting portion 21 attached to the arm portion storage portion 37 may be opened and closed by a motor. [Explanation of symbols]
